Croatia and Serbia going beyond NAP
William Thomas Riker
Remember the times when Croatia and Serbia (going alphabetically here) were (im)mortal foes? Well, a the same time there was a group of people thinkng about a ceasefire (I was among those, still am). We were declared heretics. The unwritten rule was to make ingame rivalries based on RL hate among different nationlities (wtf)...
Pretty much the whole game revolved around our conflict. Plato had a smile on his face, allies on theirs. The two countries had fun too, at least while the alliances were stable. With the shift of those a light came. Players with brains in both countries were tired of spending resources on fighting for Slavonia and Vojvodina, neither country needed the other's regions. The first NAP was rarified, but it didn't last for long. Rednecks in both ours and allly countries blew it off.
I myself lost the interest in playing this for months, and just recently returned to check the status. With the allgoing shifts of alliances, I found out Croatia and Serbia finally signed a functional NAP. Imagine my delight. This game was finally worth playing. And before I could adjust, I saw China getting conquered. Croatia finally has stable bonuses, is collecing regular amount of taxes, and players got more enthusiastic and participating.
Yeah! My happiness was brifly interrupted by all the articles and shouts about Croatia letting her allies down. Not because we weren't fighting for them, but because we weren't fighting against Serbia! And I was all like WTF? Are you serious? Do you want me make you serious?
And since people are raging about our NAP, why wouldn' we go even furher? I can't think of one reason not to go into alliance with Serbia. Well, I can think of one, and one only. The famous one: Croatia never lets down her allies. So, let's not. Let's just do this alliance for a season, like a social experiment. Just to see how it'd work out, if at all.
Let's face it. This game is going for six years now, and it's not going strong. We tried everything, from journalism and propaganda, politics and take-overs, economy and thefts. All that is left is the military module, and we have already tried everything, all combinations but this one. And frankly, if we don't introduce such a shocking novelty, this game might not survive another year. We need this. Well, I need it. Don't know about you, but eRep isn't nearly as fun as it used to be in the decade before this one.
Before you attack my sanity in the comments, I'm asking you one thing. Consider it, just think about it for a minute. We have fought by your wishes against Serbs for six years. Can we at least try to fight with them for a couple of months? Can the rest of us have some fun too?
Imagine the possibilites...
Live long and prosper!

It's definitely good to test some new ideas from time to time. The problem in many cases might be that if one is too radical in making changes one might end up with a split community fighting against each other.

Imagine if all the ex-yugoslav countries would be allied and fought as one. : )
The world wouldn't stand a chance
ae
it will bring global world peace.
Plato, if sees this will ban you instantly 🙂
If this goes through, it will be Croatia & Serbia VS everyone else and everyone else wouldn't have a chance 🙂
I will never disolve one of my companies for some battle against Chile. Poland , USA .....
Slavonija , Vojvodina ALL IN
That game doesn't exist any more.
It's about players and not about game .
gagagga obli gtfo the game still exist , zivela Srbija bre/
We could never hold Vojvodina and they could never hold Slavonija.
Point-less.
1780:1780 and win priceless
Who cares about tomorrow.
Sure, why not. Game is stupid, anyway. With this alliance we would, at least, have more chaos in the newspapers.
I don't believe in swapping allies for an "experiment", even if some of them don't share this commitment.
There are several countries I enjoy fighting against now way more than against Serbia, so I guess that's a start.

I don't judge the Croatia's NAP with serbia.Everyone has the right to do what their people most want,and to make their people get stronger in economic ,social,military way ect...The war against serbia directly made lot of Croatians loosing money and municions,and they needed a break?Their choise,but they didn't let their allies,they still fight against serbia,but not directly.
For about beeing in an alliance with serbia?! lol,letting down those you called "bro" for an "experiment"...I'm too sceptic about this... I still remember Israel and Brazil looool,they should be ashamed 🙂
p.s Brazil had some rights,coz didn't have congress for a long time ect,but Israel hahahaahahah looool A thing like that is done only from low people,not good politicians 🙂
This is will be my opinion too forCroatia or anyone else,which is used to call me "bro" and go with serbia!!!

This game is utterly boring and I don't think it will last for so long (not saying owners will "turn it off" but in a year or something so much players will leave for good that eRepublik will become even more unplayable than today).
Ser-Cro MPP would probably not make it much more interesting for some longer time but it's the only (major) thing we have never tried so... why not?
Game has changed, communities have changed (even more)... Year or two ago I was against this kind of idea, now I wouldn't have anything against it.
nat' vote... nije loše napisano
nice article even this crap abouth allie with servia is rly funny
Croserhun-a bit weird but sounds great.
CROSER lets do it, or even better lets make Yugoslavia alliance Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, Serbia, Macedonia, Montenegro 🙂
Bulgarians are south Slavs too...
Yugoslavia without Bulgaria is a Serboslavia, an as such is not acceptible to non-Serbs...
Bulgarians are Serbs too 🙂
Let's make an alliance with Serbia and divide Bosnia and Herzegovina between our countries! Federation would go to Croatia, an Srpska (with Brčko corridor) to Serbia!
I was against NAP for maybe 5 or 6 years but now time has finally come that Croatia can really benefit from NAP with Serbia and I am for it. But MPP, NEVER! Not only because of RL (there is small part of me that still finds reason for fighting against Serbs in RL) but because we were enemies since the beginning of this game (read it since Serbia is introdouced in this game), + there are still our friends that are erased by Serbs and i wouldn't let them down, never (BiH, Albania). These are the countries which shared with us good and bad times. CROATIA IS NOT LIKE ISRAEL, WE WILL NEVER GO WITH SERBS (if we do, i will logout).
