Drodzy Polacy!
Ostatni miesiąc był dla nas czasem ciężkich walk, w których wielokrotnie byliśmy zmuszeni do obrony rdzennych ziem sPolski. W sztabie sojuszu spędzaliśmy wiele godzin na koordynowaniu odpierania ataków ze wszystkich stron.
Koniec końców okazało się, że o ile jesteśmy w stanie odpierać ataki niemalże całego sŚwiata, to finansowanie takiej walki znacząco wykracza poza nasze możliwości. Każdego dnia poświęcaliśmy swoje zapasy na obronę tych ziem, co więcej czyniliśmy to ochoczo i bez mitrężenia.
Wczoraj miało miejsce spotkanie dowództwa wszystkich krajów członkowskich Crusaders, w ramach którego zgodziliśmy się, że dalszy opór przy obecnej dysproporcji sił i wymaganych nakładach przy uzyskiwanych rezultatach nie ma sensu i musimy znaleźć inne rozwiązanie.
Z tego względu zaproponowałem przeprowadzenie referendum, w którym mieliście okazję wczoraj głosować. Była to jedyna możliwość powstrzymania The Spectres przed uzyskiwaniem podatków ze Śląska i zabezpieczenia tych podatków dla sPolski.
Wygląda jednak na to, że spora część z Was nie była zadowolona z przedstawionej propozycji i postrzega ją jako litewską próbę przejęcia najbardziej dochodowego regionu gry lub po prostu nie jest w stanie zaakceptować jakiejkolwiek okupacji. W każdym razie pragnę poinformować, że to ja jestem autorem tego planu, a nie sLitwa. Prawdę pisząc sLitwa wahała się w czasie rozmów właśnie z tego samego powodu(aby Polacy nie pomyśleli, że to jej pomysł.)
Nie ma to w tej chwili znaczenia - sPolska wyraziła swoją opinię, a my mamy zamiar uszanować jej wolę.
Niestety, nie pozostawia nam to dużego pola do manewru za wyjątkiem oczekiwania na okazję do wyzwolenia sPolski spod władzy okupanta.
Na ironię zakrawa fakt, że kraje najgłośniej płaczące za czasów G7, że sojusz spolsko-slitewski jest zbyt silny i niszczy grę, podczas gdy w rzeczywistości bywał często stroną słabszą, obecnie chełpią się ze zwycięstwa w nierównej walce pomiędzy garstką krajów a dwoma najliczniejszymi sojuszami w grze, które i tak zajęło im niemal dwa miesiące(może mają kompleksy
). Dodatkowo twierdząc, że służy to zbalansowaniu gry.
Nonsens!
Ich jedynym celem jest rozdzielenie sPolski i sLitwy. Zaatakowali sPolskę licząc, że dawne zatargi pomiędzy Waszymi krajami doprowadzą do rozpadu sojuszu i poniżającego przejścia sPolski do innego sojuszu w charakterze pariasa, który znajduje w tym akt najwyżej litości i miłosierdzia.
Mam nadzieję, że nie dacie się zwieść tej propagandzie.
Przywódcy sPolski i sLitwy są najlepszymi, z jakimi dane mi było współpracować, są zawsze zdeterminowani do podejmowania działań dających szansę na zwycięstwo, a nie na to co tylko dobrze brzmi lub wygląda.
Możemy być pokonani - do czasu, ale mamy prawo być dumni z naszej walki - byliśmy oblegani przez niemal cały sŚwiat, a mimo to wytrzymaliśmy ponad miesiąc.
Ale teraz bitwa dobiegła końca, pomimo tego naszym obowiązkiem jest kontynuować walkę wszystkimi dostępnymi środkami, jednak jesteśmy zmuszeni zaakceptować fakt, że będzie to od nas wymagało wielkiej organizacji i poświęcenia.
Pomimo okupacji nie zapomnimy o Was i gdy nadejdzie czas upomnimy się o Waszą wolność.
Dear Poland,
It's been a very long month for us both. During that time, I've fought in countless battles to hold the Polish core regions. In Crusaders HQ, we spent day after day managing attacks from all sides.
In the end, it turns out that we have the power to fight what seems like the whole world but at some point, we just can't afford to. We have all hemorraged money day in and day out, and we have all gladly done so (not one nation has ever complained about priorities in Poland or spending their money to fight there; not one).
Today we had a meeting with all the members of The Crusaders, and it was agreed by everyone that we couldn't afford to continue down this road.
This is why I suggested the proposal Poland held a refferendum on, yesterday. It was the only way we could afford to continue to fight, to deny The Specters taxes from Silessia and to secure the taxes for Poland.
It seems, however, quite a lot of you are not comfortable with that. Perhaps you believe Lithuania was plotting to capture for itself the most valuable region in the game and perhaps you are simply cannot accept a foreign occupation of any kind. Either way, I want you to understand that this was my idea and not Lithuania's (Lithuania was, in fact, very hesitant about doing something like this for exactly the reason of how the Polish people might think of them for doing it.)
It doesn't matter.
Poland does not want this, so we will respect your wishes.
However, that was our last resort and there is nothing left we can do except to resist the occupiers and wait them out.
It is ironic that nations who consistently cried 'OP!' during G7, when G7 was always evenly matched (even outmatched at times), now gloat at a victory that took what seemed like forever to acchieve using the power of two alliances working togeather (who are very much OP). And still, they say this is for the sake of balance.
How absurd.
Their goal with this has been to drive Lithuania and Poland apart. They went for Poland hardest, hoping they can play on your prejudices and hoping you would see Lithuania still standing and decide they should not be your friends.
I hope you are not so easily fooled.
The leaders of Poland and Lithuania are the best I've ever worked with. They are always rational and make decisions based on what will win, not what will sound good in an article.
We are defeated, for now, but we have put up a fight we can be proud of. We were besieged by all the world and, for a month, we pushed all the world back.
But now the battle is over. Though we must continue to resist in any way that is possible, we must accept the situation before us, we must tend to our wounds and we must look towards the horizon for the next battle.
Though you are occupied, I have not forgotten you.
Nor will I ever.
Love,
P.S. A big thank you to
Kozarz , for translating this for me, and to my Ladybrofriend Nano Charat, for making my awesome new banner.

About the game:
USA as a world power? In E-Sim it is possible!
In E-Sim we have a huge, living world, which is a mirror copy of the Earth. Well, maybe not completely mirrored, because the balance of power in this virtual world looks a bit different than in real life. In E-Sim, USA does not have to be a world superpower, It can be efficiently managed as a much smaller country that has entrepreneurial citizens that support it's foundation. Everything depends on the players themselves and how they decide to shape the political map of the game.
Work for the good of your country and see it rise to an empire.
Activities in this game are divided into several modules. First is the economy as a citizen in a country of your choice you must work to earn money, which you will get to spend for example, on food or purchase of weapons which are critical for your progress as a fighter. You will work in either private companies which are owned by players or government companies which are owned by the state. After progressing in the game you will finally get the opportunity to set up your own business and hire other players. If it prospers, we can even change it into a joint-stock company and enter the stock market and get even more money in this way.
In E-Sim, international wars are nothing out of the ordinary.
Become an influential politician.
The second module is a politics. Just like in real life politics in E-Sim are an extremely powerful tool that can be used for your own purposes. From time to time there are elections in the game in which you will not only vote, but also have the ability to run for the head of the party you're in. You can also apply for congress, where once elected you will be given the right to vote on laws proposed by your fellow congress members or your president and propose laws yourself. Voting on laws is important for your country as it can shape the lives of those around you. You can also try to become the head of a given party, and even take part in presidential elections and decide on the shape of the foreign policy of a given state (for example, who to declare war on). Career in politics is obviously not easy and in order to succeed in it, you have to have a good plan and compete for the votes of voters.
You can go bankrupt or become a rich man while playing the stock market.
The international war.
The last and probably the most important module is military. In E-Sim, countries are constantly fighting each other for control over territories which in return grant them access to more valuable raw materials. For this purpose, they form alliances, they fight international wars, but they also have to deal with, for example, uprisings in conquered countries or civil wars, which may explode on their territory. You can also take part in these clashes, although you are also given the opportunity to lead a life as a pacifist who focuses on other activities in the game (for example, running a successful newspaper or selling products).
At the auction you can sell or buy your dream inventory.
E-Sim is a unique browser game. It's creators ensured realistic representation of the mechanisms present in the real world and gave all power to the players who shape the image of the virtual Earth according to their own. So come and join them and help your country achieve its full potential.
Invest, produce and sell - be an entrepreneur in E-Sim.
Take part in numerous events for the E-Sim community.
