Canadian citizens, allies and friends.
I would like to thank every single one of you for fighting in the resistance war against Spain. The odds were vastly against us but we managed to put up a great fight.
We managed to hold up right to the end, with the scores at 77-77 in the last battle.
Hundreds of thousands of CC were spend hiring mercenaries and assisting players all round.
I would like to give a special shout out to MEK for their damage, Ireland for their huge support and generous donations + loans, Umbra Bellator, Connor Mac, Armour144 and EVERYONE else for the massive amount of damage.
Thanks to everyone who helped supply on IRC,
Thanks to ASGARD for their support,
Thanks to my cabinet,
Thanks to all those who fought for us from the goodness of their hearts.
We held our ground out there, and although we lost out on congress we can be proud that we have our honour. We were like the 300 Spartans at Thermopolae, greatly outnumbered, but went down fighting with honour intact.
Hopefully we can make a deal with Spain without delays or BS of any kind, but that will probably come down to the next CP.
On a side note, the battle was started in Spanish prime time, in the wrong region, I guess it was started by Spain or medal hungry dunces, either way it is amazing how well we did.
Final Score: 80-85 to Spain
Well done Canada, I salute you. o7

During the war, users such as TheSmoke called for us to fight smart. This meant directing damage away from the war as a whole in favour of supporting other anti-Spanish RWs and other tactical wars. In times such as these, especially when the war was so close, we should be focussing the entirety of our efforts on our own RW, saving the damage for future battles if the current battle in the campaign is already assured.
Can someone explain this to me? Am I getting the wrong idea? From my perspective, any damage that was diverted to other battles at the expense of winning the campaign isn't fighting smart. I understand that it is an effective strategy to attack all of Spain's vulnerabilities, though I don't think we are capable of fighting wars of multiple fronts.
It was only when we slept the Spanish had their resurgence, Smoke was right, at times we were overkilling and wasting damage anyways. We also needed to provide some distraction in the other RWs Spain had.
If any of the Canadian divisions were winning with the wall pushed over 60% or so, any damage used there is wasted if we win it. So by using that extra damage to potentially win a round in Portugal or Venezuela would mean that Spain would have to use extra damage in those battles instead of Canada. For a long time last night, Venezuela was the CoTD, meaning many fighters were diverted from hitting in Canada. Not every player will stay on all night waiting to drop damage at the right time, which is understandable. So if they were about to go to bed and wanted to use their Food Fights, use the damage else where if Canada is going to win the round. I honestly don't think we would have been so close without having Venezuela and Portugal giving Spain a good fight at the same time.
The direction to fight in other battles when the wall is high is usually for those who can't hold until the next battle. If someone has to fight there and then it is better to put that damage to good use rather than waste it on a won battle.
Thank you all for your responses, this makes much more sense.
Needs more WookieO.
Great job Canada and Pharper!

"We managed to hold up right to the end, with the scores at 77-77 in the last battle."
Bullshit
The Score was 77-50 the last time I had looked
We Suck....
FAIL ASGARD!
Spain woke up
When are we gonna "wake up"?
Bearing in mind they are 30 ranks higher we didn't do too badly
It was 77-77, saw it myself.
I mean we were up 77-50, and we still couldn't manage to close the deal
We suck.......
to be fair we had Spain, Poland, and a load of spanish mercs bombarding us
i missed a crucial d3 battle which makes me want to pull my hair out, woulda been 83.... if we had won that battle. yay me.

Back to hoarding energy bars...
I'm ever so tired
Well, this is exhausting
glad I could help out... next time we'll get it done.
~hyuu~
for Canada
It was fun.
Time for a two click mode nap.
I'm proud of everyone who supported eCanada.
I'm proud of our administration.
eCanada/Mercs vs. eSpain/ePoland/Mercs during there prime time and our down time.....i think we did an excellent job. Did we win? No. Nothing else matters than, right? No, it all mattered and YOU should be proud of efforts even in a losing cause.
o7 to the whole eWorld (minus the TWO ball lickers.)
it was epic.
i put all I had left in before I went to bed thinking we had it won. I should of took an energy drink or something and kept watching.
si yo agote todo o que tenia pero valio la pena y a la ayuda de nuestros amigos q nos ayudaron
Very good battle I must say. While we didn't end up winning, I really liked what I saw in terms of cooperation among all those who participated.
The back and forth action on IRC made it all the more enjoyable!
Thanks to Pat, IBB, and Klop for all the hard work they did.
o7!
