Last one to leave....
Ranger Bob
I'll admit, last night was dissappointing. We ended up losing both Victoria and Chimor, mostly due to some late night/early morning rallying on behalf of the serbs who were _very_ committed late on to kick us while we were down and take our Peru region...
However, I'd like to point out that it's not like we haven't been here before people.
It's not whether we lose. It's what we do next that defines US as a nation.
Sure we bicker. Often reading the forums I wonder whether I end up losing grey matter from some of the mindless trolling and tit for tat crap we fling at each other (or, maybe the more vocal few do anyway).
BUT for all our flaws. For our infighting, for all the times I shake my head at it - the people of eAustralia DO NOT walk away.
You'd think the constant cycle of occupation, deals to keep a few regions, subsequent betrayals and occupation again would lead to many walking away. But, we tend to hang on to a core group of committed eAussies - even people who rage quit our shores for a while tend to come back in our time of need.
Why? Because we are a community. Because though the relationship might be a little love-hate on occasion, we all agree we want eAustralia to exist, and to remain on the map. It's why we fight. Because we love her.
I doubt I'll ever hear the first line of the quote that is the title of this article. There will never be a last Aussie who leaves and turns off the light so to speak.
And, we should draw strength in that. eAustralia will NEVER truly lose so long as you remain, and as long as you to continue to fight. That's the true win, not whether we hold or lose a region or 6 month to month.
So keep fighting folks! Never give up, never surrender!

We did once upon a time hear this. But very few active citizens left the game. Australia shall return!

Living in eAUS in eRep is kinda like living in RL Oz. Spiders on one side, snakes on another, crocs lurking in the grass waiting for you to let your guard down. There's never a dull moment.
Dunno about you guys but I ain't heard no fat lady.
Pretty sure the last time people left eAust was because of a little PTO that happened. Fun times had by all, right?
As an eUS citizen, I'd like to see us more involved defending Australia.
Sadly, I think we'll have to wait for a new US President if Australia is to become an American priority again.
Watch our next election and hope for the best-- I know this issue was important to me in deciding who I'll vote for next.
defeat only comes, when the vanquished are convinced to stop fighting
guys am new to eAUS, but love your spirit already !!
we keep on fighting and bonding this wonderful community !
Well said, bar keep! That will be a Guinness for moi ;-o)
FOR EAUSTRALIA!
FOR DEAR FATHER!
Australia will prevail.
