In the fascinating universe of Eclesiar, where wars last less than a New Year's promise, the unthinkable has happened: BFTE and EPIC have signed a 180-day NAP. Yes, half a year of peace in a war game!
It’s said that the negotiations went something like this:
—"We sign for 30 days, right?"
—"Yeah, but... I’m tired. How about 60?"
—"Well, since we’re at it… 90 sounds better."
—"Pff… What about 180? That way I can take a vacation."
—"GENIUS! And if we make it a whole year, I’ll retire!"
Because, of course, if you're going to sign a non-aggression pact, you might as well do it right! Not only have they secured peace, but they’ve practically turned the game into a spiritual retreat.
The best part comes with the weird clauses in the NAP. Among the countries included in the pact, there are names no one expected. Apparently, the leader of BFTE, in his quest for relaxation, decided to extend the truce to unsuspected territories:
—"Well, since I’m giving my alliance a vacation… why not give it to my kids too?"
—"And my neighbor."
—"And the dog."
—"AND the country I can’t even remember the name of, but they’ll surely appreciate it!"
To make things even more absurd, nearly 60% of the countries in the game have signed this pact, ensuring that for six months, war will only exist in the stories of the server’s veteran grandparents. But the best part came after...
Bulgaria, not content with just relaxing, decided to take it a step further and adopted Turkey and Greece under its protection. Because, of course, if we’re already building a hippie commune of peace, why not add more people?
—"Look, guys, no one’s going to fight here, so come with me, I’ll take care of you."
—"But this is a war game..."
—"Yeah, yeah... but let’s make an even bigger block, just in case."
While 60% of the world is sipping cocktails on the beach, the other 40% is about to return to war, far from the mojitos.
—"Hey, what about us?"
—"You… know how to dodge bombs?"
