1: CP Debate
1: CP Debate
Ladies and gentlemen, over the past ~24hrs I have had the privilege to host a text-only CP debate between Tyler Bubblar and Dirty Scarlet Silverbeard in a private discord server. I asked them both quite a few questions, gave them both the opportunity to respond to each other’s answers, and got some great insight from them both. I hope this debate will inform the votes of many.
The debate topics were:
-General questions
-Domestic
-FA
-ReWa
-Voter Submissions
I created a text channel for each of the topics, due to schedules not lining up, so they could answer multiple questions at a time at their leisure. I gave them one question per topic at a time, and moved on to the next question when both of them had the opportunity to type something out. I will now present the text logs 1 topic at a time.
(general, introductory question)
What qualifications do you have to be CP this month?
Tyler BubblarYesterday at 7:48 PM
That's a long a long list. First and foremost I've done this job 7 times before. I've been Party President of the Federalist Party 10 times, I have held numerous posts over the years, but I think most importantly I've been President during a resource wars, I believe I've shown repeatedly I can assemble a team of the right people and allow them to excel. I've believe the key to doing a great job as President is to know your own strengths and weaknesses and work within them.

Look, thing is. I am going to be a huge underdog. A guy who has never been CP to an individual whose way too motivated. Never in my elite have I had eyes on all me before and I'm excited to provide a different perspective on our nation how I can do better. How we can do better and ive come a lllllonnng ways from always being an underdog in politics and this little dog has a big WOOF, I'm fired up and ready to go. im not perfect, by all means but I am going to surround myself with diversified members of society and really help us out. I'm not new in politics.
Domestic Policy
acronachYesterday at 7:33 PM
What domestic programs do you plan to maintain or introduce, in addition to the war effort?
Tyler BubblarYesterday at 8:05 PM
Many of the domestic programs available to the citizens of the eUSA were either created or restored to the eUSA during my tenure this Summer. So yes we will maintain and emphasize the programs available through the Interior and Education we will also finally unleash the National Scavenger hunt event I'd hoped to do in July and August. The war effort regardless of Resource Wars or not is important, but equally important is communicating with and engaging the community.
Dirty Scarlet SilverbeardYesterday at 8:12 PM
I want to help build a few ideas that are rolling in Congress right now. Getting people engaged and and feel welcomed will really make our citizens feel good about themselves and they should. They are truly the back bone of our nation. Something similar to Tyler but I would like to get a few ideas rolling like a national family fued style formatting thats eRep related. Fun. Engaging and we'll laugh together. Wheel of fortune style. I don't want to leave anyone out.
For example, we can help build new players up and maintain the growth in current players by introducing factories funded by the Government. People would work there minimum wage and in turn get x amount of food and x weapons daily. Intune, people can use that to fight on the battlefield at low costs and build their strength up, sell said goods they earn and buy gold to help upgrade their strength. We need everyone to support eachother in the coming resource wars
Tyler BubblarYesterday at 8:14 PM
That's in place right now. We have a National Cooperative in which several private citizens have donated millions of cc for the express purpose of buying new infrastructure for players that choose to join. We established that during my last tenure as CP. Max was the architect behind it.
Dirty Scarlet SilverbeardYesterday at 8:18 PM
Well fun. Truly did not know that. In the case, I want to build up up our engagement and fun department related areas. Its the internet. So many possibilities. I am not a huge part on watching people stream while they play games over and over but I find it fun that we can get a few ball rolling and have like an engagement round table discussion playing games
acronachYesterday at 8:23 PM
A Congress member recently proposed a bill to create an "Eagle Squadron MU" in public Congress. What are your thoughts on this? Are there any variations of the plan that you would suggest, either to Congress or to an existing MU?
Dirty Scarlet SilverbeardYesterday at 8:26 PM
I was perhaps one of the first few who wrote up "hell yes". We need that. We need growth, in fact it would be a learning experience for everyone as the playing field as eRep is different these days. I WOULD LOVE TO BE APART OF IT. This might add on to another answer to one of your questions but I am like a sponge. I am always eager to teach others what I know and I could learn a thing or two from the young pups.
Tyler BubblarYesterday at 8:44 PM
DMJ summed up my thoughts on it with this post:
"
Quote:
I'm against any infrastructure purchases, because:
As far as the rest goes, this is coming from my background in the Training Corps, the Air Force, and about a thousand months as SECDEF. A Training MU is great, but people get burned out really fast. So, there needs to be a close watch on staff to ensure things aren't falling by the wayside.
As far as "new players" goes, here's some data to consider. These are new player applicants from GIMP (user ID 950xxxx or greater).

So we can say there are new players, but the data shows that the majority either do not stick around or are fake accounts. I'd be interested in seeing the same counts from other government programs as well.

In my opinion for years we've tried to overcome erepublik labs neglect of this game by trying hard. I think we've done well given the circumstances, but until they decide they care about the state of the game and the community within the game as much as we do we're simply managing the the decay.
acronachToday at 4:54 AM
Although not facing any immediate PTO threat, there are some lurking dangers such as the stubborn sticking around of Ajay Bruno and the periodic return of Valiant Thor. Do you have any plans for Homeland Security in light of this?
Tyler BubblarToday at 9:29 AM
There was a time when I believed that I was permanently typecast as Secretary of Homeland Security. Don't get me wrong I was always happy to serve in that role. I felt it was important and worthwhile. However, at this point I have no plans to revive that department. As always we'll pay attention during election days to monitor for any nonsense, but nothing beyond that.
Dirty Scarlet SilverbeardToday at 10:01 AM
Yup! Easy peasy. Im really great with handling trolls for one and I've dealt with Ajay Bruno throughout my tenure in eRep. you gotta start with congress and have them hold off without background checks and hold people accountable. I don't think we have anything to worry about overall. I've got a thick skull. I deal with hard hattes people everyday day. I can take a bullet.
People over think things and I don't think I'll have a problem besides being a huge underdog as CP. You can't make everyone like you. no PTO here. Just trolls who just want the last word and piss people off for the personal injoyment for some odd reason lol.
Foreign Affairs
acronachYesterday at 7:33 PM
The most important question of this section comes first. What is your stance on the eUS aligning itself with Asteria?
Tyler BubblarYesterday at 7:56 PM
I'll be blunt. I set us on this path. I believed strongly when I signed the NAP with Asteria it was the best choice. I also believed it was the best thing for the eUSA to leave CODE when I pushed the button for Congress to vote on departure. Everything I've seen since has only solidified my belief that the right choices have been made.
Dirty Scarlet SilverbeardYesterday at 8:15 PM
We need to distance ourselves from CODE completely. it was horrible to see a partnership fall apart but being backstabbing is not the right thing to do to your own allies. We should continue to build our relationship Astoria, Canada, Mexico and smaller nations as well such as South Africa and Australia and help our allies and friends grow. I think the strength we have now can really solidify that idea and show CODE that words hurt. We're a strong nation.
acronachYesterday at 8:22 PM
Since the peace deal, there have been voices in our nation both for and against a stronger relationship between us and Canada. This split was particularly visible during the neodymium rent discussion in Congress the other month. What stance do you take on relations with our neighbors to the North?
Dirty Scarlet SilverbeardYesterday at 8:46 PM
I feel that we should continue to build a postive relationship with our maple friends. I have alot of friends in eCanada and they are good people. Hard working people and I'm sad to see it fall apart over the years. We can do better.
Tyler BubblarYesterday at 8:59 PM
I'm in favor of mending fences with Canada. We've had a long complicated relationship with them over the years. However, they have made it clear they wish to improve things between us. Given the new direction of our Foreign Affairs I'm in favor of a fresh start with our neighbors to the North
acronachToday at 2:37 AM
Many hearts were broken when Plato announced a nation can only place a maximum of 10 resources in their cores. Depending how our resource wars go, would you be open to the idea of a fun little conquest in order to expand our bonuses?
Tyler BubblarToday at 2:41 AM
Really we'll have to wait and see what happens and what the exact mechanics will be. In times before the first resource war we were able to rent bonuses from other countries in order to achieve full bonuses. So I'd be open to looking to do something similar once again.
Dirty Scarlet SilverbeardToday at 9:52 AM
Yes and no. You gotta look both sides into to see if it will be useful and beneficial for us. Then again, helping our allies and friends is really beneficial as well.
Together, strong
Resource Wars
acronachYesterday at 7:33 PM
Onto the topic everyone's thinking about. Since the max 10 per country announcement, president Krapis has been trying to find national agreement on 5/5 food and 5/5 weap as a goal. Do you agree with us pursuing those resources?
Tyler BubblarYesterday at 7:54 PM
I absolutely agree with this. Unless something changes the aircraft weapons are not important at all. Housing is nice as the ability to work extra is great and the extra energy is nice but having most players self sufficient and able to earn a profit through ground weapons production either of WRM or tanks is paramount.
Dirty Scarlet SilverbeardYesterday at 8:20 PM
Tyler's right, we need to focus on food and weapons. In my opinion, housing industry just isn't profitable as a whole as wages have been stable for the most part. Things are not free. We have a crap ton of land right now that can be allocated for good resources for hard working citizens. We need food to fight. And to fight well and strong, we need weapons that can progressive help us.
Easy peasy lemon squeezy
acronachYesterday at 8:21 PM
How much experience do you have coordinating damage in battles? Are you confident in your ability to organize our fighting force for the upcoming event?
Dirty Scarlet SilverbeardYesterday at 8:50 PM
I have a handful of experience within military. the newest version of the military module i do not. As soon as I learn the full scope of things, eRep does a 360 and add more nonsense that I gotta relearn again.
So, older modules, yes. Bsck in my early days I help with eSouth Africa and a popular MU and I help Maintained a spreadsheet and tracked how much damage people did so we can decided the best approach on future battles with the best people on the Frontline.
If I remember right, I somewhat helped with Feds waaayyyyyyy back in the days as well. Not enough to say "hey. Im damn good"
Tyler BubblarYesterday at 8:53 PM
I have been President during a number of campaigns and in more than a few cases it fell to me to keep things going smoothly. The results from those instances have always been good. That said I've always leaned on my NSC team to do the job and do it well. My style is to select excellent players, put them in a position in which they'll excel, give them what they need to do so, and then trust them to do it by getting out their way unless circumstances force me to do otherwise.
acronachToday at 2:40 AM
Since the event was announced, there's been a lot of talk about where our new safe states should be and which resources we should try to put on each. Do you have a tentative plan laid out for our new map? How much of that plan can you share with us?
Tyler BubblarToday at 2:43 AM
It's being worked on even now as we all kind of guess how we think it will go. There are definitely tentative plans, but until we know what mechanics we'll be working with they're very projectional.
Dirty Scarlet SilverbeardToday at 9:50 AM
Yes. I think we should really look into the population of what the player base is and start with that. Everyone should have the ability to have maxed out resources. again. We only have an x amount of active players. So I gotta look at that first and then look into strategically placing them that are valuable to us and possibly valuable to our allies and help continue to boost our economy imports and exports. the eUS is one of the most leading countries to do business with so yoy also gotta look in that as well.
Voter Submitted Questions
Throughout the process, I contacted several people in the eUS to ask them what questions they wanted the CP candidates to answer. I made effort to reach out to at least 2 people from each of the top 6 parties. I got a lot of good responses, it was hard to narrow them down to a few, but here are the ones I ended up asking the candidates.
acronachYesterday at 7:34 PM
From DMJ: "who are some former or current players you respect and seek to emulate?"
Tyler BubblarYesterday at 7:51 PM
Josh Frost taught me a lot about not just winning elections but doing the job to the best of your ability after. DMJ and MollyEmma have shown me through their examples of how important it is to make the hard choices no matter how difficult it might be. I've learned from years of working with WildOwl the importance of pragmatism. I also came to greatly admire Hadrian X he was only with us a short time in 2016 but damn was he dynamic!
Dirty Scarlet SilverbeardYesterday at 7:51 PM
When I first logged into eRep, the media model exploded in my head. "Holy crap" I can be creative and open my mind with endless possibilities". Phoenix Quinn was like my spirit animal for the media. He told stories others didn't. Sure, articles were really long but they had something. That niche. A good beginning middle and ending. He was like the Stevening King of writing. And I wanted to be like that. I so so do. And that when I created my own radio show. Before podcasting became a real thing and I wanted to be a good story teller and tell stories and crack up and just enjoy it.
So yeah, PQ was someone I looked up to and I hope to someday be better and be that story teller.
Oh!! DMJ is a talented person. Who would love to fight along with in a battle. Yes. I agree with Tyler. DMJ. Is smart. You need that. We all do. We need someone to check our balances and keep us in line and thats good.
acronachYesterday at 8:21 PM
From Blande: "how committed are you to keeping the eUS a Dioist country and have you recently been cleaned in the sacred sands of Pakistan?"
Dirty Scarlet SilverbeardYesterday at 8:23 PM
Honestly, I find eReligon very boring. I was never a fan of it. But if someone love religion and what their beliefs are, more power to them. I think everyone deserves to have that sense of hope and something they can look up to each other. Didst, glove is love or whatever that is out there. Exploring the unknown is a good thing.
Tyler BubblarYesterday at 8:48 PM
Dioism is not something I've ever care a little. I'm all for others who care about it doing whatever makes the game fun and interesting to them but for me it's not a big issue. I did agree to send magnesium to Pakistan so they could have full aircraft bonuses but I don't know if that counts as being cleansed in the sand. Also full confession my ancestry on my mother's side comes from Spain... So I might just be a pig disgusting partial Spaniard.
acronachToday at 2:45 AM
From Max Planck: "My only question is what do the candidates want to improve in the Co-Op system and what do they plan on doing in regards to it"
Tyler BubblarToday at 2:50 AM
In regards to the National Cooperative I believe it needs more consistent press. During my last terms we rewarded the members of the Cooperative with cc for publishing articles and recruiting new members. I'd like to get back to that, and see the DoCA org newspaper publish regular articles informing the citizens of the eUSA that the Cooperative is around, recruiting, and eager to help players who want to be self sufficient but don't have the means to do so.
Dirty Scarlet SilverbeardToday at 9:46 AM
I do Indeed believing in rewarding people for hard work. I also believe in simplifying things. We don't need to reward everyone for everything they do. With the player base we have now with an average voter base of 300. We need to just have simple public articles twice a week from WHPR. With the upcoming war, we'll need the airtime to boost our DoD and give detail instructions regarding all thing resource.
My goal is really just keep things sort sweet and too the point.
Another goal of mine is to keep people informed more within the game itself. I don't want to encourage the player base to use other means of communication. We can only so our part as gamers oh so much.
acronachToday at 10:20 AM
(the national co-op is a group of people who contribute to a shared treasury, and are able to request funds for personal company growth. It was modeled after SFPs co-op and established a few months ago)
Dirty Scarlet SilverbeardToday at 10:25 AM
Oh duh. I was thing of something else. Whoops. so, whats happening within SFP since I am SFP is a lot of good growth. We're seeing a great amount of people helping out but also the Bear CalVery which is own Governing entity. We can replicate what SFP but at a national level. like a few models happening for a MU government ran, we can do that for private citizens as well. Help them grow, they help defend and grow the country.
Win/win situation
(general closing question)
And finally, why should America elect you for our next CP?
Tyler BubblarToday at 2:46 AM
Because October will be a big month filled with important moments. My entire erepublik career I've been about rising to the occasion in order to help the eUSA move forward. I've not been perfect, but I am proud of what my Cabinets and I have accomplished.
Dirty Scarlet SilverbeardToday at 9:40 AM
Because I'm a trusting individual who has the confidence and cabiblity to get the jobd done. With an extensive background with political module, military and media. I know I have the underlying knowledge of how to bring our nation together, simplify how we run things and boost our community fun
Ladies and gentlemen, that’s all for now. Thank you for tuning in, and remember to vote!

[WHPR] CP Debate
erepublik.com/en/article/2724272
What qualifications do you have to be CP this month?
I know game mechanics better then both other candidates. And if we look at some of the former CP-s of eUS (like Baby Groot, chickensguys, Bunny, etc.), then I am over-qualified.
Sometimes even dumb people like Baby Groot, Derp, WDIB2 can have good results.
I also have some insider knowledge, not many in this game have. You can count them with the finger of one hand, even if you lost you thumb...
____________________________
What domestic programs do you plan to maintain or introduce, in addition to the war effort?
This is answered in my first campaign article:
Points 3 to 6:
3) Start pack distribution on a apolitical and national level. What we take in in this month will be spend on packs.
4) Help young players with substitution 100% for training ground upgrades and houses
5) Double the daily giveaways of food and weapons
6) Sponsor a one pack per week giveaway for the best article or writer
With those guys, nothing changes. Funny story Voots delivered CRAP to me: 545 cc or so. I didn't take it.
I have over a million cc on my account, don't need it. But let me ask a question: what can a new player do with that money?
Buy 200 Q5 food, that's 1 k energy.
It really is crap!!!
____________________________
A Congress member recently proposed a bill to create an "Eagle Squadron MU" in public Congress. What are your thoughts on this? Are there any variations of the plan that you would suggest, either to Congress or to an existing MU?
Well, he can create a squadron inside an existing MU or buy a new on with 40 gold or inherit a dead one. Anyways: what does this have to do with the Potus?
We don't have a state-operated and run MU since Oblige broke it and Congress gave their blessing, so.... there's nothing there there. Let congress waste time on stupid debates, FINE WITH ME:
____________________________
Although not facing any immediate PTO threat, there are some lurking dangers such as the stubborn sticking around of Ajay Bruno and the periodic return of Valiant Thor. Do you have any plans for Homeland Security in light of this?
I was Valiant Thor.
You can have HS, you can call Artela's/Pfeiffer's CIA back to life.
1) There is no PTO threat. Under current circumstances & numbers a PTO is not possible (btw: never was, just a hoax, a fake reason to launch "unity elections", manipulated democracy, basically a joke.
2) I am unstoppable. But I mean no harm. Quite opposite: I am the future!
3) Ajay and me are totaly different; you are comparing apples and your mamas hairy p§$$%. (Ajay is a dumb conservative reaganite, who sold stupid game ideas to enemies of US. And mixed RL with eRep, only an idiot would do.
I am me. What to tell, just greatness.
This question is below stupid and shows that the interviewer has little and poor political knowledge or is dumb as f§$%. Ore both.
____________________________
The most important question of this section comes first. What is your stance on the eUS aligning itself with Asteria?
This doesn't matter. I am friends with the Serbs and the Croats. eUSA is safe with me.
Fullstop.
America needs a war. A big war. To win it and be glorious can happen only with me as Potus.
____________________________
Since the peace deal, there have been voices in our nation both for and against a stronger relationship between us and Canada. This split was particularly visible during the neodymium rent discussion in Congress the other month. What stance do you take on relations with our neighbors to the North?
In all my e-lives I was friends with the Canadian community. A lot of the big-shots from these days don't play anymore. Shouts to DMV3 - hope you are well!
Greetings to Exalted and Chopp!
Canada was to me since Day 1 with my first e-incarnation BRO and always will be BRO!
____________________________
Many hearts were broken when Plato announced a nation can only place a maximum of 10 resources in their cores. Depending how our resource wars go, would you be open to the idea of a fun little conquest in order to expand our bonuses?
Dumb question. Shows that Wilker doesn't grasp production.
The future of the USA is have 100% bonuses for houses.
Everything else is irrelevant, because there will always be enough weapons and food on the market.
Wilker, do you know the concept of air-weapons and how the training program will be implemented?
___________________________
Onto the topic everyone's thinking about. Since the max 10 per country announcement, president Krapis has been trying to find national agreement on 5/5 food and 5/5 weap as a goal. Do you agree with us pursuing those resources?
Shows how stupid he kis. The only thing that matters is Houses.
Our own producers can produce food and weap even without bonuses, enough to supplie US needs and demands.
Houses is a very complex subject, not the production, but the energy it gives.
I can't tell you more about it and why it is crucial today and much much more in the future.
___________________________
How much experience do you have coordinating damage in battles? Are you confident in your ability to organize our fighting force for the upcoming event?
The command infrastructure of the eUS is almost zero outside the game. Discord is dead, except in the SFP chanell.
No Telegram, like most of active strong nations use,
It's pretty much easy to paste on walls and shout in the feeds.
Our fighting force are a few MUs (EZC, War Inc., Sheep, Bears and a few more)
What could be difficult to coordinate them, if the are coordinated internally well? :rolls eyes:
___________________________
Since the event was announced, there's been a lot of talk about where our new safe states should be and which resources we should try to put on each. Do you have a tentative plan laid out for our new map? How much of that plan can you share with us?
I have a plan. Because the plans of my opponents are not worth mentioning, I'm gonna give them and you and the whole community the winning plan:
Drop them central, not in States that border across Atlantic. And that border Canada /Mexico (not because they are potential threats, but because of strategical reasons I am not willing to share.
Cali and Pacific are fine.
Hope these words will get noticed.
___________________________
From DMJ: "who are some former or current players you respect and seek to emulate?"
I don't emulate anyone. I am an original.
But there art some former players I respect very much:
Josh Frost for his planing, Hoss for his vigilance, rainy sunday for her knowledge and Max (Wilhelm Röntgen) for his dedication.
On the international level there are so many, so I will mention only on fro different nations, who I got to know in personal comm.:
Clopo, Romper, Serbian Legenda, Obliterate, Black Baroness, ChewChew, siddy, and the most gorgeous "snajka" - Hola chica! Long time no see! (who knows, knows)
___________________________
From Blande: "how committed are you to keeping the eUS a Dioist country and have you recently been cleaned in the sacred sands of Pakistan?"
Hwy Blande, nice to see you back!
Sorry to disappoint you. Written in my article under number
7) Declare Dioism null and void, no more "state religion". No more "state" at all!
___________________________
From Max Planck: "My only question is what do the candidates want to improve in the Co-Op system and what do they plan on doing in regards to it"
Well, Max is in my cabinet (will announce the cabinet in the next article) and will be Prime Minister if I win.
That means Maxes work will be expanded on a national level, as written in point
9) Create a national production commune, that benefits the workers
And Max will take it there, with success!

Because I am the best candidate with a clear vision.

It's curious how such a vital thing as trying to join the alliance that wiped us from the map and invaded us is somehow policy among the insiders. They say it's "important," but no one has ever explained *why.*
What are the benefits? krapis said it was "wise and prudent," but that's question begging. bubblar doesn't even say that -- and he only now admits that it was his desire all along, even back when he was lying to everyone about it. Of course, lying and being two-faced is what bubblar does, but I digress...
So why is it so important that we grovel and beg and suck up, while making ourselves look even more despicable to the rest of the e-world, in the hopes that the alliance whose member countries openly despise us will hold their nose and let us join? A competent moderator would have asked that question long ago. A competent moderator might also have asked why bubblar lied about his intentions for so long. It seems there's a reason this "debate" was held in secret, away from public scrutiny.
So I'll ask now: why?
ill waste exactly 2 pearls here. I know you'll apply cognitive dissonance as needed, but frankly the comments do good to boost the article.
1: I have a front row seat and can tell you 100% CODE member nations despised us even before we left, and Asteria has treated us with respect from the moment we opened dialogue. Saying otherwise is a flat out lie, so you can either change your narrative or be incorrect.
2: can you imagine CODE tg channels trying to plan for ReWa right now?

If CODE despised us, why did they make a US guy their secretary general? And even if they did -- which I doubt -- it still dodges the question, as is typical. Why do we grovel and beg trying to join an alliance which has wiped us out in the past, and which ridicules us even now as we play lapdog to it? It wasn't OK for CODE to --as you claim -- despise us, but it is OK for Asteria? And you dare talk about cognitive dissonance? You clearly don't know what the term means. Before trying to use big words and terms, look them up next time. Remember: BEFORE.
lol
Once again, no answers. Just nonsense, and then "lol"
Yui was a last ditch effort to save the alliance. Why do you speak when you don't know. Perhaps if you got a little more involved with a lot less yap people would take you seriously.
People seem to take me plenty seriously. Perhaps if you people answered questions instead of dissembling, you'd get less "yap." As for getting more involved, I've seen what goes on on discord, and it isn't for me. A bunch of mean-spirited halfwits insulting everyone who isn't there to defend themselves and giggling about "e-peens." You can have it.
You still haven't answered the question.
You aren't in congress. You obviously don't read because even a quick scan of tylers articles would tell you exactly what happened. You put yourself in a black hole of information depravity and then whine when you're uneducated. Get involved, you self-righteous pr*ck.
FYI, the only people that take you seriously here are people like vt and trite. Not a very good fan base.
In fact, it was reading bubblar's paper -- and I read every article over the past couple of years -- that made me realize what bubblar says now doesn't square with what he said in the past, and that he's a liar. And as for being in congress, must you be in congress to actually get straight answers? But I actually know people in congress, have had conversations with them, and they know no more than I do, So the congress thing is just dodging the question. Speaking of which...
You haven't answered the question. People talk about CODE in ways that don't square up with facts, and the only person to say something good about Asteria said something that makes no sense. So tell me -- tell everyone -- why trying to join Asteria is a good thing. Lay out the benefits. Not bullshi*t about how they're "our friends," because "friends" don't invade you. Friends don't despise you. But real benefits. Why can't, or won't, anyone do that one simple thing?
So. You've talked to people in congress. Congratulations. You talked to people in congress from a party that doesnt really participate in the meta. The only one I've seen with consistent participation is groot. And it pains me to say this, but its one of the things I actually respect him for. Im not sure what groot has said to you, but he knows whats up and doesn't have an issue with this agreement other than Canada being involved. So obviously you haven't been talking to the right people.
Joining asteria...and I know for a fact at least ONE person has told you this only to be dismissed in your usual condescending way, is justified because of the way we were being treated in alliance. Throughout the recent skirmishes, we have been supported 100% by asteria, CODE doesn't know what that means. Asteria has a system that is perfect for us, and the planning is off the charts. CODE couldbt fight its way out of a wet paper bag.
What else do you need man? Hmmmm? This is a game, and its a game we intend to win. CODE is filled with losers. If you cannot grasp that, i fell terribly for you. Its quite an easy concept.
And btw, stop calling tyler a liar just because you can't comprehend basic english. Bad form.
People who tell lies are liars. That's pretty basic English.
So what it comes down to is we're trying to join the alliance that's most powerful, end of story. All this stuff about how mean everyone is to us is a smokescreen. Months of lies and non-truths, of presenting the country with a fait accompli (that comes from French by way of latin, so an expert in English like yourself might struggle with it -- as I suggested to the other one of you, look it up) instead of having a public discussion comes down to that. You guys just wanted to be part of the strongest alliance, no matter what the cost. And you're too gutless to even come out and say that until now. And you wonder why I, and anyone else but people like you, don't want to "get involved?"
I will give you credit for being the one who would finally admit the truth. But JFC, the effort it took. You people really are something. It's no wonder we're an e-world laughingstock. To riff on bubblar, "You are what they think you are."
Go back to giggling about e-peens, gossiping, and waiting for the next shift in the e-winds so you can scheme to flip-flop yet again. It's what you're good for.
I'm done with you man. You're a walking pile of dumb.

Hey JJ, and you are a siece of phit!
Have a nice day!
CODE turned into a toxic system and to that Aseria stuck by us even when they did not have to. Thats real friendship right there. To that, we owe them that friendship back
How do you know that? Or is that what you were told? You weren't even around, and a few days ago you were talking about getting back to CODE. Now you say it was a toxic system? Asteria "stuck by us" by invading us? Does that make sense? And I know what Asteria says about us, and it isn't friendly. They're here for the farmed gold and to keep it away from CODE. They think we're a spineless joke like everyone else does, and Serbia in particular absolutely loves watching us grovel and beg.
... what?
This is taken from my article that I published yesterday
"This has popped up more than once in multiple chat rooms and people I communicate from time to time.
I've been keeping a close eye with CODE and with the countries who have each helped us in each of their own.
We need to line ourselves with a more positive outlook. Stronger countries mean stronger allies. Stronger allies mean a better future.
WIth current outlooks, I feel like it's in the best interest to continue to work with Canada and our mutual friends. Infact, with the resources and coordination, we could possibly form our own alliance with people who all have the same ideas."
Nowhere did I state we need to be closer to CODE. We just need to keep a close eye on CODE and and those who have helped us.
Two separate things.
Interesting, as I remember that passage a little differently when it was published. krapis must have seen it differently as well, as he showed up in the comments to disapprove of your platform, and there would have (past tense) been only one thing to disapprove of from his perspective. Obviously, I made a mistake, Seeing as that puts me in the same boat as krapis makes it particularly humiliating. except zrtx also read something other than what's published now as his comment makes clear:
"Wait a moment.
You clearly don't have any idea how military module or resource wars work.
And you are just flirting with CODE?
I see no way how this could backlash xd"
So either three people suffered from the same hallucination, or you went back and edited your article. Which is kind of creepy.
George, you ok? No really?
I never edit articles. I keep them the way I intended to have them read my by readers.
"You clearly don't have any idea how military module or resource wars work."
thats the module itself, a game mechanic or future that eRep made for its intended userd. I am talking about a country itself. Two different things. One is a game module, the other is basically we, the players created.
You have zero international contacts worth mentioning.
Who do you know in CODE?

Yes, people stumbling over each other to agree with each other is always excellent and informative.
