Orders Day 616 - Some Explanations
Canadian Civil Defence
Citizens of NWT, Yukon, New Brunswick, France please move to Ontario, if you need tickets contact us.
Now I know things look really bad, we lost Quebec, Nunavut and Alberta very valuable regions. I have been getting questions and there are is lots of articles blaming army and our President.
Why we didn't do more to win Alberta?
We fought with what we had, most allies were fighting for California, PEACE spent over 10,000 gold there. President gave me permission to use most of our gold to defend Alberta, however, with 20 min to go the wall was too low, even if I spent all the gold Canada has on TANKS it would not have been enough to keep it. I decided it is better to keep the gold for another day then spend it and not win.
Why we keep attacking Russia in USA territory?
The way game works if a country is being attacked it can not attack it self. So if we are attacking Russia it can not attack another region in the USA. USA has asked us to attacked Russia to try and block them; USA also covers the full cost of this. I give orders not to fight there; Russia retreats half the time because they need to continue USA attack.
Why we started PEI resistance during Quebec attack?
Simple: To draw damage away from Quebec. I also started resistance in Hungary and Iran, USA started Brazil and Indonesia. France resistance drew away 60,000 damage points from Quebec (a lot fought to free it), Hungary and Indonesia draw away over 200,000 damage each. Resistance in PEI costs 60g, if we didn’t spend it we would have to do extra damage in Quebec using TANKS, a TANK cost about 80 gold for 10,000 damage. So it’s a lot cheaper to start resistance war. We moved there later to fight in PEI because wall was really low and easy to win. This meant France had to spend 100g to attack it the next day, waste 24 hours taking it, and then waste 100g to trade it with UK so that we don’t try it again.
Why we don't go on the offensive?
We can not attack while attacked, or 24 hours after losing a battle to that country. Also some suggested attacking France and Russia home regions, this would only activate their MPPs. Instead of Russia vs Canada, it would be Russia and allies vs just Canada. France would have extra 6 countries on their side.
Blaming the President
Jacobi did not start this war. He inherited all the active MPPs from previous presidents, he tried to close the war at beginning of his term, but PEACE was already planning the invasion and did not want to negotiate. There is not much Jacobi can do, PEACE is out spending and out damaging us. You can not blame him for that fact Canada was never an aggressive military country like Hungary or Indonesia and that our economy could not handle it. He did wonders to double our gold reserves, and signing MPP with a lot of countries.
Suggestion to put the old guard in charge instead of Jacobi
It is the old guard that got us into this, attacking France and activating all those MPPs for no reason. Our allies warned us about it, we in the army begged president not to do it. However, they decided it would be fun and good training. The original France invasion only left us at war with France, Indonesia, Italy, Brazil. It was useless attacks months later that activated Hungary MPP, and Hungary is doing more damage against us then all other countries combined.

Battez-vous dans les Territoires du Nord-Ouest, http://www.erepublik.com/en/battles/show/6994
Citoyens des Territoires du Nord-Ouest, Yukon, Nouveau-Brunswick et de France, veuillez déménager en Ontario, si vous avez besoin de billets de transport contactez-nous.
Maintenant, je sais que les choses regardent assez mal, nous avons perdu Québec, le Nunavut et l'Alberta, de régions avec beaucoup de valeur. J'ai reçu plusieurs questions et il y a plusieurs articles blâmant l'Armée et notre Président.
Pourquoi n'avons-nous pas fait plus pour gagner l'Alberta ?
Nous nous sommes battus avec ce que nous avions, la majorité de nos alliés se battaient en Californie et PEACE a dépensé plus de 10 000 pièces d'or ici. Le Président m'a donné la permission d'utiliser la plupart de notre or afin de défendre l'Alberta, cependant, avec vingt minutes restantes, le mur de défense était trop bas, même si j'avais dépensé tout l'or du Canada sur des TANKS, ce n'aurait pas été assez pour garder la province. J'ai décidé qu'il serait mieux de garder l'or pour un autre jour plutôt que de le dépenser et ne pas gagner.
Pourquoi attaquons-nous continuellement la Russie en territoire Américain ?
De la façon que ce jeu marche, si un pays est attaqué il ne peut pas lui-même attaquer. Donc si nous attaquons la Russie, elle ne peut pas attaquer une autre région aux États-Unis. Les États-Unis nous ont demandé d'attaquer la Russie afin de les bloquer ; de plus, les États-Unis couvrent entièrement les coûts de ceci. Je donne comme ordres de ne pas se battre là ; la Russie se retire des combats la moitié du temps puisqu'elle a besoin de continuer son attaque aux États-Unis.
Simple : afin de soutirer un peux de dommages en-dehors du Québec. J'ai également démarré des guerres de résistance en Hongrie et en Iran, les États-Unis au Brésil et en Indonésie. La résistance Française a soustrait 60 000 points de dommage du Québec (plusieurs des citoyens Français s'étant battus afin de libérer la région), la Hongrie et l'Indonésie ont soustrait 200 000 dommages chacun. La résistance à l'IPE a coûté 60 or, si nous ne l'avions pas dépensé nous aurions pu l'utiliser pour faire plus de dommage au Québec en utilisant des TANKS, un TANK coûte environ 80 or pour 10 000 dommage. Donc il revenait moins cher de démarrer une guerre de résistance. Nous nous sommes ensuite battus sur l'IPE puisque le mur de défense était très bas et que la victoire serait facile. Ceci veut dire que la France a dû dépenser 100 pièces d'or afin de l'attaquer le jour suivant, gaspillant 24 heures pour la prendre et gaspillant un autre 100 or afin de l'échanger avec le Royaume-Uni pour que nous ne puissions pas la reprendre.
Pourquoi ne jouons-nous pas d'offensive ?
Nous ne pouvons pas attaquer lorsqu'attaqués, ou 24 heures après avoir perdu une bataille. Également, certains ont suggéré d'attaquer les régions originelles de la France et de la Russie, mais cela ne ferait qu'activer leurs Pactes de Protection Mutuelle. Plutôt que ce soit la Russie contre le Canada, ce serait la Russie et ses alliés contre uniquement le Canada. La France aurait 6 pays de plus de son côté.
Blâmer le Président
Jacobi n'a pas démarré cette guerre. Il a hérité de tous les PPM actifs des anciens présidents, il a tenté d'enterrer cette guerre au début de son terme, mais PEACE avait déjà planifié son invasion et n'a pas voulu négocier. Il n'y a pas grand chose que Jacobi puisse faire, PEACE est là à dépenser et nous endommager. Vous ne pouvez pas le blâmer pour le fait que le Canada n'ait jamais été un pays militaire agressif comme la Hongrie ou l'Indonésie et que notre économie ne peut pas le supporter. Il a fait des merveilles afin de doubler notre réserve d'or et de signer des PPM avec plusieurs pays.
Suggestions de placer la vielle garde en charge plutôt que Jacobi
C'est cette vieille garde qui nous a mis dans ceci, attaquant la France et activant ces PPM sans raison. Nos alliés nous avaient averti à ce propos, nous dans l'armée avions supplié le président de ne pas le faire. Cependant, ils ont décidé qu'il serait amusant de le faire et que ce serait un bon entraînement. La première invasion de la France nous a laissé en guerre avec seulement la France, l'Indonésie, l'Italie et le Brésil. Il s'agit de cette attaque inutile des mois plus tard qui a activé le PPM de la Hongrie, et la Hongrie fait plus de dommages contre nous que tous les autres pays combinés.

Comments
old guard?
*cough* Bruck 😛
Thanks for the explanation. Voted.
Isnt Canada bilingual ?
Could you please translate in French ?
Never surrender
Bruck wasn't even in government when we attacked France. It happened in the Tantis and Tom Hagen terms.
I can sum this article up for everyone who doesn't want to read it:
"We are doing our best, even if its not good enough. We aren't going to do anything different or anything better. But don't listen to anyone who critisizes us, because its all their fault. not ours."
Where is the accountability? All we are getting is excuses, not solutions!
I love this article. Very interesting 🙂
sorry about French version, I just wrote it and I have to wait until someone comes online that can translate
there is no one to blame about France MPP , the war started back in the dark ages, like 9 months ago when there were only handful of players around .. Canada after that held couple of training wars with France and even offered a peace treaty.
Unless eCanadian Refugees are subscribers - they won't see this.
Tyler F Durden has the resources and a plan - that is now a fine tuned machine - to repatriate eCanadians stuck in Occupied Territory.
To stay up to date on the progress, periodically check in here:

If you know of someone stuck behind enemy lines, post their name there and I will try to get them on the underground railroad back to eCanada.
Ali Al Baghdadi, those were not training wars, if they were there should have been a contract that guaranteed us peace after, like any other training war. I have no problem with the original France attack, I have problem with the stupid attacks months later that activated Hungary, Turkey, Iran, Argentina.
We need everyone to get to Ontario as soon as possible! If you require moving tickets pm me, i have a few and know some other people willing to give them. We HAVE to make a final stand at Ontario, one of the first steps is helping refugees get back into Canada controlled land.
Hello I need Tickets to get ouyt of alberta, furthermore i aint got the cash to by them. Ya got any to spare?
cerasaan, check your inventory
By attacking UTAH, we have lost Manitoba.
Blame Canada!
Oh hello Zoli. (As Seinfeld would say to Newman)
I have been busy, but I have a few ideas about my next PEACE Parody starring:
Yourself, GLaDOS, poker, etc...
PainPain, petit vilain Français ! Le Canada est un pays bilingue et biculturel mais ça ne veut pas dire que tous ses habitants le sont ! Maintenant que vous tentez de nous voler la majorité francophone, il y aura encore moins de gens pour ça !
Dans le cas qui nous préoccupe, notre Ministre de la Défense n'est pas francophone. Alors il publie ce que lui a fait sans délais et puis quelqu'un traduit ensuite. Comme ça on réduit les délais. Ton commentaire date de trois heures, ma traduction de plus ou moins une. Donc deux heures d'attente, c'est pas si mal, non ?
Sincèrement,
Eldorino
Sorry short don't blame the government
They tried their best, PEACE just have way too much at the moment.
But we'll see 🙂

Awesome propaganda AB.
Seriously you fail. France had 3 MPPs and Bruck bumped it up to 7 MPPs including Hungary. Good job Bruck.
By the way can the Canadian Government get the money you stole from Canada please?

Grain Crisis Hits North America!
"but PEACE was already planning the invasion and did not want to negotiate." lol propaganda.
It's spelt DEFENCE.
+1 Dean22!
although I never would've thought I'd say it.
Thats all the information I wanted, I have no complaints on how this war has been handled now that I have more information on what was going on.
*goes back to cleaning guns*
Where are the orders for today, day 617?
Agreed. Where are orders for today? Can some one get their poop in a group please?
LETS HAVE SOME NEW ORDERS HERE!!!!!! no wonder there are calls for the governments head.
guys if there are no orders that usually mean hold of fighting till later
Then you should be telling us to hold our attacks. It's almost 20:00 hrs on this day 617 and nothing has been said. that's not acceptable. If we do come out of this war victorious in the end it will be in spite of the government and not because of it. We are stuck with incompetence because we can not risk instability! This is terrible.
Thanks for explaining. I was getting tired of trying to explain with my limited knowledge of the war mechanics.
Also, Jacobi more than doubled the gold reserve and increased the weapons stockpiles. 🙂
Sounds like sour grapes Dean, incase anyone missed the AB article:

Efficient Sociopath
The Efficient Sociopath has no remorse and uses any means necessary to further his goals. However, he always works in the shadows, trying to hide his personal perversions and the excess violence of his minions from the population and his fellow ministers.
Example: Dean22
I’m not saying Dean22 is not smart, and I’m not saying he doesn’t spend 26 hours a day playing eRepublik. I’m saying we live in Canada, not the Republic of Dean22. And that is exactly what it ends up being whenever you give Dean power. Dean22 first, Canada eighth. (Disclaimer: Dean22 is also 2nd to 7th)
At least things are still interesting!
I appreciate the government's effort, but it simply is not enough. There seems to be a wide gap in communication between the government and it's people/soldiers. I recently joined the Canadian reserves only to find many platoon rosters last updated in June or early July. When I applied it took three days to gain access to the reserves forums, and even then I found I was not included on any roster, nor was I assigned to a platoon. I had to personally message people to get my platoon assignment, which took another day. With the other steps to joining to reserves, the process took over a week and since I joined nothing has really changed for me.
I also notice we are not given daily orders, yet there are battles occurring daily. A newspaper stating them would be a great improvement. What might be a good system to implement is everyone in their platoons should friend their platoon leader in game then they can receive daily or platoon specific orders via shouts.
I recently donated all my money, 10 gold, to the Canadian tank fund then I was disheartened to never learn where the money was being used, I'm sure everyone who donated would like to know and it would restore my, if not everyone's confidence that their donation was a smart investment.
Supplies also seem to be an problem, after filling out your online spreadsheets I never received any notice as to if supplies or being sent, not even a message saying my request was denied. Weapons in the hands of citizens might be a good investment for the future. While tanks may be able to do a lot of damage, if the gold is spent arming the average Canadian citizen they will gain rank and overall make Canada stronger, making us be less reliant on tanks in the future.
I hope anyone in the government who reads this will take my words into consideration. Thank you for your time.

Frederick Hohenzollern
Well, still its nice to hear some other part of the story 🙂
hold on. so i should not fight at all rather than fight on my last login of the day? next time i'll see if any of our allies need some help....
PS. i posted my first comment about no orders at 5pm pacific on my way to work (i work graveyards) not all of us work the same schedule and our fighting skills should still be utilized.
jacobi and the army are disgusting, they lost this war for us becuz of them ecanada will be wiped off the map say hello to a new efrench colony
