Join the new world

*applauds title* I'll go read the article now 😛
(I love it - and the sarcasm is totally justified 😉)

I agree. It would be a Mistake. We need to form a Neutral Alliance like Sol except for Neutral Countries. its the best way to go. YOu move your circle outwards. Not start out and move in. A selfish man forms his circle around himself. A good man centers his circle around his family and relations. A great man centers his circle around everyone. The circle moves outwards. You Begin outwards and you fail to achieve that goal. this saying works in this situation.

Stay nuetral, like eIndia 🙂

You're supposed to say PEACE GC an equal amount of times to saying EDEN/bro in each article. If your going to campaign for neutrality you should set a better example to us newer/ hotter headed players!

How to remain neutral:

1)Never say one alliance name without saying the others aswell
2)Fight against Hungary in 1 fight, and with the UK in the next
3)Constantly talk about possibly joining one of the alliances, that keeps their hopes up!
4)Ridicule any article promoting either side

(lol I agree Niall, on both what to do, &boredom of talking about it)

we will not surive if we if we stay neutral, PEACE does not care if you are neutral, like at india a few months, indo region swapped with Thailand to attack india, the do not give a flying F***, we need Eden, but with driffernts laws that say we have a fully voice and thus,

and their is only 4 countires still neutral, Ireland, India, Czech Republic and Ukaine, the rest are leaning torwords Eden or PEACE, but their is only like 2 of them, Swiss and Esontia, Ireland is being looked upon like a wee small world nation, cause we are still netural, and will not fight, even if we do get invaded start a few RW, it is part of them game, and we could so the Irish fight like gorrila fighting

Well my dear,

looking at our army we won't be conquering knowone, let alone our region back.

I want comprimised neutrality, we need to respect the self determination of other nations and fight for them not for alliances.

We will not do anything in Eden or Peace.

I'd like to point out that slovakia was allied to EDEN, and then Hungary attacked it, and wiped it out. EDEN couldn't save it., they were too distracted with Belgium. What if they're too distracted when we need help?

Eden fails in the past weeks. Peace will do good to us.

We have more of a chance of getting invaded if we join a alliance as our relations with our neighbours are good because were neutral.

I feel we need to really look at our position and what's best for us. I also feel we aren't truly neutral as we fought with Slovakia against Hungary.
I for one do not think we should join either Eden or Peace. If I have to decide I would say the NNF.

We had every reason to fight in those battles. EDEN or not, they were our war games.

If Ireland truly wants to be neutral, I say so be it. But I think the stagnation it causes will lead to its demise.

neutrality = boring, stagnation, and is advocated by people that want to roleplay RL and make the game boring

i agree with collins as always

Brilliant article Niall. I completely agree.

I agree with Collins, it'd be great if we could join PEACE and ransack the world. But I'd rather us neutral then in EDEN.

Slovakia proves that Hungary doesn't care about neutral nations.

There is no such thing as a neutral alliance, join an alliance takes away the neutrality, especially as PEACE have stated that they view other alliances as threats. The only reason Sol is allowed to exist is that they allow dual membership with PEACE and are more of a protection pact in 1 area of erep.

The reason there is a proliferation of articles supporting an end to neutrality is that a lot of people want it ended now. As for the poem, that is an inaccurate sentiment and could just as easily be applied to those advocating the neutral stance.

@ Rhett, What is that about?

Land area in this game isn't the important thing, a fact your maps miss. The key is military strength.

I'm for an Independent Ireland! \O/

Lets face it eIreland more or less leans towards Eden anyway, the majority of people here seem to support Eden countries in the war anyway.

Good article...but we still dont know what to bloody do..🙁
I sincerely hope this does not rip the nation in two..

So then it is for the people to decide, who knows more about the game and what is best for Ireland, John Gormley (pfffft) or Michael Collins??

Niall you ignoramus, why do you think our military is so pathetic? It could be because we sit here talking about how great neutrality is while the rest of the world gain experience through war and ACTUALLY PLAY THE GAME. Anyone who STILL thinks neutrality is ideal is in my opinion, insufferable.

Secondly Niall, remember in Finland as the ambassador to Ireland, you made the whole country look as ignorant as you are. You told the Finns that because most of them would have never heard of Ireland you introduced it as a country in Europe to 10s of replies saying, "we are not americans we know where Ireland is". You infuriate me here saying "I could do a long rant about this topic but i know in Ireland when citizens see a big block of writing they skip it or switch off". Do you think the people of Ireland are much stupider than the rest of the world. Look abroad where people like ex-POTUS Gaius Julius, Josh Frost, even Zoli and peace trolls get thousands of votes on their articles in huge 'blocks of writing'. You have just insulted everyone who read this article. WELL DONE

I hope that you always have a say in the direction of this country, moron.

On behalf of Russia, I think it good that Ireland neutral. Much easier to take you over ect ect. Foolish Idiots!! ha

Hah James back to your foolish ways,

Our relations with Finland are the best they have been in a while James, your rant proves how uninformed you are. Go over to the finnish irc and find out what they think of Ireland now.

I know that in articles people switch off ESPECIALLY the troll ones were people are just linked to the article just to vote. The article i wrote WAS MEANT to be cynical, its a advanced literacy technique and your the only one who seems to be offend, i guess you need to improve your english.

The people who know whats best for Ireland, are in Ireland. Not you, YOU don't know whats best, since when have you done anything constructive.

@John Smith

Ukraine actually voted to join EDEN

Also note the Russian saying your neutrality makes it easier for PEACE to take you over

Yes but were under the protection of a PEACE country.

Slovakia was'nt neutral , was under polish take over team, and was training EDEN soldiers on her ground with training war.

Slovakia was EDEN and was only "acting neutral" but was EDEn puppet indeed like Moldavia, like Belgium full of Romanians and Americans.

Beeing neutral is ok with me, but Slovakia was not.

Spencer Magee

Ukraine did'nt vote anything, Romanians in Ukraine congress did and they will be next in line like Slovakia !

Ukraine to the Ukrainians, not to the Romanians , Belgium to Belgians and UNL , not to Romanians, Moldavia to Moldavians not Romanians, Slovakia to Slovakians, not to Polish !

Ireland to Irish, not to americans and EDEN !

You cheeky little shite. Go ahead and look at the standard of some of the tripe you write:

"Well my dear,

looking at our army we won't be conquering knowone, let alone our region back.

I want comprimised neutrality, we need to respect the self determination of other nations and fight for them not for alliances.

We will not do anything in Eden or Peace."

Illegible nonsensical horseshit. Anyway, you write and look like youre 11. Grow some pubes and leave the foreign policy stuff to us grown ups....dipshit

If its illegible why are you quoting it? That obviously means you can read it.

I write and look like im 11. Puh great comeback there. I wonder why i am the 11th most subscribed paper in Ireland is i "write and look like im 11."

"leave the foreign policy stuff to us" Im the minister of foreign affairs, so ill most certainly leave the foreign policy to myself.

You really should think about what you say, as i can crossreference you and make you look very idiotic. Like now.

regards,

Niall

I can quote it because im capable of copy and paste

11th most subsribed and 11 years old--->irony?

minister for foreign policy, thats exactly whats wrong with this country, its why I said "I hope you always have a say in the direction of this country". You are the worst thing to have ever happened the govt of this country, well you and binksy. Another RL child. I've 'crossreferenced you' and made you look idiotic twice.

Minister dirty bum

Its Ironic that your dp shows you to be a kid too...

Well your getting pettyer and pettyer so im not going to waste my time replying to your posts.

Grow up, grow a pair

grow a pair? haha grow up shortshit

anyway youre right, this is going exactly nowhere

my dp is of me and friends drinking in america, yours is of a fetus with a gun

*shaking head* wth?

Agreed, I just came from the eUSA, but as I promised when I left eIreland, when it was just a small little island with a bad economy. I promised to get some cash and come back... and I agree, eIreland doesn't need to be eden nor peace

"Lets face it eIreland more or less leans towards Eden anyway, the majority of people here seem to support Eden countries in the war anyway. " <- That is a large assumption.
