---Letter From The Editor---
Frustration has set it.
It was shouted from every shoutbox, printed in papers including my own:
"FIGHT FOR THE RESISTANCE!"
We shouted, desperate to come out of this war with something that might resemble an upper hand. Hurried orders were sent out from all Officers online to as many soldiers that could be reached. A strategic, decisive move to attempt to stop Portugal's/PEACE's advance. A resistance war funded by the private holdings of an individual (Nonesuch).
As of print time 8:22, the wall in Oaxaca sits at 9.7k above.
It'd be one thing if PEACE had moved in heavy-hitters to stop it, in an attempt to keep us in their sights. That would be acceptable, though disappointing.
But no. Instead it's the uninformed citizenry of our nation that have worked against us. Citizens who, instead of reading shoutboxes or newspapers, or even for a moment considered what the reasoning behind this could be, fight for the defenders, secure in the knowledge that they are helping their country. This is tantamount to shooting ourselves in the fucking foot.
I don't claim that the military has the finest communication and organization in the New World. It's run by people, and people are error-prone. But for the love of God...at least we managed to tell our people which side to fight on. The more citizens we have that decide to go "Rambo", the greater the damage will be when the US tries to organize military strategy on any level.
So join the Goddamned National Guard.

I've been trying to join the National Guard for a while now - apparently there is a waiting list.
*facepalm*
Well, my face is red on this one.
Nice article.

Thanks for posting that John, didn't occur to me at the time.
My love for you has no limit Hari Michaelson.
No homo.
not one of my commanding officers have sent me any orders since the first two battles against mexico. i would gladly follow them...if i ever got them...
If the righteous leaders of the country quit trying to 'game' the game and operate in a even remotely realistic manner, they wouldn't have to explain bass ackwards actions to people who don't have time for their shennanigans.
Well that's all nice and well Chris, but the fact of the matter is that this is the way the game works, and to attempt to operate without accepting these realities is ignorant at best.
I fought for the resistance. It did not help.
we tried, and a lot of people were tricked by the mexican landmine... a link posted here and there that when explored, caused the player to auto-fight on the side of the defender. face it, PEACE cheats. PEACE cheats blatantly and extremely well, between auto-fight links, the gold exploit from 2 mos ago, and innovating the takeover scam. that being said... we lost, but live to fight another day 🙂
