Dear readers,
I am sure most of you are familiar with the abbreviation NAP. Probably when mentioned, you start thinking of many arrangements, bargain, endless negotiations, rumors, lies, tricks and many other negative things. This is why the recently accepted NAP law surprised everyone. This is the fastest NAP negotiation that I have seen since I started playing this game. Before going through the reasons and consequences of the said NAP, let’s have a look back at the events that led to its conclusion.
As opposed to real life history that teaches us that lightning fast wars almost never lead to success, here this kind of war fulfilled its purpose. A few times, I dare say. After Turkey’s revolution against Finland and Russia and the followed liberation of South America, it was clear that the winds of rebellion were heading towards the Balkans. The governments of eBulgaria and eMacedonia were aware of the upcoming attacks but didn’t take any measures. In fact they welcomed the NAP (Non Aggression Pact) proposal with relief.
The winner in this situation turned out to be Colin
WHY, YOU WOULD ASK.“
1. The eHistory remembers many wars fought by Bulgarians and Macedonians against the Greek. They were all long lasting and intense. The “ping-pong wars” and occupations are not something new to either side. Both the Greek and Macedonia and Bulgaria are rather apathetic when it comes to losing territories to the enemy.
2. Both Bulgarians and Macedonians are used to retreating during Energy Bar/Pack sales, providing that after a while real money stops having an impact on the battlefield.
3. Bulgarians and Macedonians don’t tend to fight intensively in their occupied regions. But when some of their original territories gets attacked, the battles become furious and the players – united.
4. The same applies to Serbians and Romanians. Colin fights against them in their colonies, not in their original territories. One thing is for sure and he knows it: Serbia and Romania are not Russia and Finland.
On top of that, Colin had to fight them not only with credit card and recently bought strong accounts but also with sleepless nights, spent in negotiations, giving combat orders, organization and so forth. A sickness that I don’t wish to anyone.
Sure this war would’ve required many resources from both sides. Maybe Bulgaria and Macedonia would’ve lost their colonies in India.. Maybe “Colin’s map” would’ve gone down the drain.. But surely no one could’ve coped with something like this both physically and mentally.
BUT WHY DID THIS TACTIC SUCCEED AND WAS THE KEY TO SUCCED HIDDEN IN THE TACTIC?
ABSOLUTELY NO!
The reasons are many and of different kind.
Maybe it was the weariness of eMacedonia’s government. Maybe it was the young eBulgarian president who promised not to spend any real life money on the game. Maybe it was the decision to help some of our allies… Maybe it was the poor communication with them (there wasn’t any cooperation). Or the mistakes in UAE and Cuba… or maybe it was the approaching event and many other reasons that we could add to the already long list.
But the main reason that many (especially some of the Greek) won’t believe, is that in Bulgaria as well as in Macedonia there were many people who called for Greece’s liberation and a NAP with them.
To me a long lasting occupation of a country is even more boring than a “ping-pong” war. Sooner or later, every one of us starts thinking about the people that play on the other side.
BUT LET'S GO BACK TO THE NAP
Bulgarians and Macedonians are just as stubborn as the Latinos. And having in mind the renowned Greek loyalty and Turkish bargain, negotiations of such kind are almost always doomed to fail. Many times, the past conflicts between the said countries in the real life are an inclination for the negotiations to be unsuccessful.
As the Bulgarian minister of foreign affairs (Old7) sai
😛
"Without Colin, the negotiations would’ve taken months."
In reality, Bulgaria and Macedonia concluded a more profitable NAP than the last one. They get to remain in the Arab territories, which the Greek consider to be their original property. On the other side, Greece kept their ally on the Balkans. What impressed me more than the NAP with Greece was how the guys from “GAMA” (renowned for their credit cards and the dictatorship in their own country), agreed to the said NAP in spite of the threat of some of their credit cards turning against them.
Of course, this is a hypothetical threat. But not an improbable one.
🙂
In this line of thinking, we can’t neglect Colin’s vital role as a mediator in the negotiations, as well as his contribution to the NAP’s conclusion and the war’s end.
But regardless what we say, we must admit, that
THIS NAP IS THE EPITAPH OF THE STATEHOOD.

It's not so much an NAP as a 3 month agreement not to NE. Nothing in the agreement accepts ownership of anything outside of cores by either side. It just prohibits NE's..
I expect them all to go after each other from time to time in RW's.. and this allows it. Probably why it worked..
Tbh I think you fail to comprehend the weight of your decisions and voice. As in, you understimate what your voice is capable of. Ofc not being limited to anything other than not NEing eachother is the "best of deals" because that's what a NAP should be, a respectful pact in which both sides "win", a win win situation.
But as stated in the article, the real life grudges are heavy, for good or for worse you lead them in a more rational decision, because I'm sure both sides are tired of these wars, wars that have been ongoing for YEARS. Ofc it'd be different if one country would completely obliterate the other, but both sides are equal, while thrilling for a few days, it becomes boring.
Here I am, hoping we all can contribute to the honorable cause that is eradicating leeches in the eWorld.
Well.. I am fully aware of my role and the history of the relationships, but the results mattered far more to me than having my name all over it. I intentionally removed my name from the initial drafts so that it was about them and not me. In my experience, in my opinion.. it is better to get what I want than it is to get credit for it. You would tire of me if my name was on all that I am involved in. 😛
To be brief and polite..
I had talked informally to Bg/Mkd for a couple months and would agree with the general idea that they, for the most part, wanted to end it.
I think being able to fight and win a little allowed Greece to publicly accept less than they had demanded in the past. It's much easier to turn down a hypothetical than it is to walk away from what they had gained at that point. Neither they nor I had any desire to go after cores or burn down Bg/Mkd colonies.
Getting involved at all ruined relationships that I valued. I lost friends and respect for people that I have known on at least some level for years. It was not a pleasant experience and every reason that I had avoided getting involved previously was reaffirmed throughout the process.
Despite his typical in-game trolling and their failure to pass the no NE as scheduled, Old 7 and Bg lost the most and were easily the most reasonable people to deal with. Another "facts on the groud" situation. Of the people I knew before this started, Old 7 was the biggest surprise.
Mkd was the only country to take all the steps agreed to, as agreed and on time. But half the deal had to be redone while a few of their people panicked, tanked and shouted like idiots because they didn't bother to look at the map before agreeing to things.
It was long, it was frustrating and I am glad it is over. o/
Remind me who the leeches are?
Collin what did you expect? Greece kept MKD deleted for 2+ years. We had 3 LONG wars against Greece the 1st one was in order to liberate MKD and my idea was to sign a 2 way NAP in order for MKD to be free! We were backstabed several times.. and when we FINALLY manage to come on top.. and to remove Greece from Asia. YOU come along playing the hero.. but you are not.. You are the villain mate .. 😉
I had a long post but, gdi, eRepublik strikes again, "CSRF attack detected".
Let's consult the dictionary as for who the leeches are https://www.little-linguist.co.uk/user/products/large/2388-Collins-EL-Polish-Dict.jpg
Well Collin,
I am not a person who would involve himself with controversial people for personal benefits.
In the article I am speaking of the statehood problem. This is a problem that should be worked on. In real life, altough it's not a good thing to compare RL with eRepublik, such decision must be made/approved by the parliament.
Excluding dictatorships. In real life, in case of negotiations there is ceasefire (which here would mean training war).
Of course, this is a matter of changes in constitution that has nothing to do with your playstyle. And if these countries must make such decisions rapidly due to the pressure, in our case it happened because of fear. Fear of money. Fear of being wipped off.
As I just said in a post of mine, your main problem is that you try to establish new world order, according solely to your own views on peace, love and justice. You don't think about what these things mean in the game.
In other words, you don't pay attention to the "human factor", as well as to how relative things are. You play the game by its rules instead of changing the rules for better.
You play the game by the rules of the greedy ones. One day, surrounded by leeches, you'd realize that changing the world in such manner was pointless. But it'd be too late.

How can I be part of it? 😃
To me a long lasting occupation of a country is even more boring than a “ping-pong” war.
