Join the new world

On a fine day Saga Warrior reborn. After many battles of this warrior, now his journalistic vein reborn too. The Saga - Written Reborn arrives to try to make a difference. There will be no frequency programmed articles. There will be no use of this medium to denigrate the image of someone or an institution. There will be here rather controversial, but this is achieved with manliness in place of doubtful character.

Without further ado, the newspaper debut with an interview, which here will be called "Open Game". The intention is to know everything that really matters about the guest, not things like the name of his family, his dog, his hometown (internal to Brazilian) ... I do not deny that, whenever I can, I try to take the game to open a controversial way, because after all, is something that we all like. 😉

Anyway, guys ... is to speak of and with Pisco Soares, which opens the saga - Written Reborn! We know him a little more now in this interview below ...

And before the interview ... I turned sensationalist some important points to note:

1: This interview and all that paper should follow a different course from the vast majority who see there. Questions already made will be the minority, perhaps no where possible. In this particular only two;
2n😛 You request the guest to be as forthcoming as possible, and not afraid to speak his mind, pleasing to those who please, displease those who displease;
3: Let's get to the interview before you give up reading this article!

1) Pisco, first thank you for accepting my invitation! And already beginning ... There's something about you or something you do in eRepublik that people don't know and you would like them to know? If so, tell us please.

You do not have to thank.
Perhaps that I'm the same person in eRep as I am in real life. That's not because we are in a game that we should go against our personality, against what we believe. I see so much player that if they are in real life the way they are here in EREP .... my God !!!!

2) Cool Pisco. And what are these people? What do they do that takes you to have that thought?

Without pointing names ... because as you already saw, I forget fast. I speak of unfair behavior towards others, unethical. But people tries to profit the game to be what they can't be in life or can't achieve to be.
But that can be part of their strategy..

3) Strong what you said at the end ... Changing the subject to not pay attention to the undeserving, you recently in private conversation said that the game is monotonous if the person does not have goals. What are your goals then? What you have as a goal today which is closer?

Yes. A life without goals is not a life.
My goals go through making MEK an even more blended MU , more committed, stronger. I have no personal goals. At the present time, I'm MEK.

4)Speaking of MEK, Pisco ... Some more specific goal? And how do you explain the fact that MEK generate so much interest in so many players around the world, since it is not the most offering "rewards" so to speak?

The MEK are trying to strengthen themselves in the lower DIVs. Our DIV4 is already very strong, but in the lower divisions we have not so great expression.
Our last MEK Day was a confirmation of that. We left "millions" of D4 damage in stock. But we had to place some strong and heavy COs in D3.

In reality MEK is not the biggest offering suplies to his soldiers. In fact, I don't believe in "rewards" to free soldiers. Being MEK is reward enough.

Interest in MEK, I think it comes from that ! We are a very united group. A family ... And people are aware of that. Again, consistency and stability in MEK command helps a lot to maintain the MEK's union.

5)You mentioned your well done work in MEK's command. I think that's an even praiseworthy attitude to exalt when it has reason to. But say, how is it to command a military unit of that size, with that reputation and respect that it has in the world? You think in being in the game and not be taking up this position?

I was extolling the stability in MEK's command, not the MEK commander. MEK has a MEK Board of which I am the "Dictator" hehehe

The important thing is that me and my counselors get along and usually we agree ... that's why they are my counselors. 😉

Commanding MEK, as well as any other relevant MU is a full-time job.
It is not easy to keep in tune the egos of each one. Being able to coordinate the soldiers so that the real life reality that everyone has and lives in. As we have MEK from almost every corner of the world we have to have a fully comprehensive goal so we don't have internal conflicts.

It is not easy being, constantly adapting, what you call "rewards" to the interest of each. And you know that there are people very persuasive in this matter!

If I see myself without being in this position? I can only say that if I wasn't so busy with this management I problably would have already died of boredom with the game. And when a person dies ... a person ceases to exist.

This last sentence is for people to have something to cuss ...😉 LOL (I will delete after here)

6)Very good, Pisco! To finish it with MEK, what would you say to anyone reading this interview and may have some interest in being a MEK too? What they can expect now and in the future?

MEK's future can only be better than the present.
If in the present we are united in the future we will be even more.
If in the present we are strong, or huge in Div4, in the future we will be also strong in the remaining divs.
If we have been, at least I think, consistent, in the future we will continue to be.
If in the present we have players from all over the eWorld, in the future eWorld will be ours!

7) Fine words! But as I said in the previous question, let's change the subject a little ... You were weak in the second question (interviewer is sincere even), but now say what you think of these people to follow? I chose some citizens of Portugal and which are not part of the MEK but who have national and even international prominence. Come on, outspoken!

In the line with sincerity, I really don't care about politics . Only after being MEK's commander I have been more active in the interaction with the remainig PT MUs. Only now I'm getting used to be, some kind of, counselor of some PT governments. Only that gives me some access to political intrigue and global geostrategic. But even so, I am not a guy that focus in isolated episodes, much more less in people. I always try to see the positive side of persons.

I Just remember to have had a reaction to two particular episodes:
Your request for citizenship in PT;
Rylde's close attack to MEK, made upon when gu480 had achieved to be the 1st Canadian Legend.
But I will try to answer with sincerity and with what memory allows me. The age is already weighing ...

Darth Point
I know he is known, I know he did something .... now I can not remember what.
Sorry Darth ... but I do not know what made you so famous!

Alvaro Cunhal
A fierce political, lives up to its name bearing.
I think it is the so-called opposition in PT. Systematically opposition ... 😛

IDEIAS
I believe IDEIAS is the last of the samurai. It is stoic what he does in FAP (Portuguese Armed Forces). Without his damage, FAP would be most negligible. He knows it and that makes him not to go out there.
We have one thing in common ... when you give in writing, it costs us to stop.
One of the players who I would like to bring to MEK.

TugAvenger
The TugAvenger ... My opinion is at all similar to what I wrote about Darth ... 😒

Andre3567
André is another of the players for which I admire the work done on behalf of PT. Not everything he did was positive, but only for his commitment he deserves my respect. he is currently working for Über but knowing him, it should be returning to PT. Update: he is now PT's MoD.

I do not know if he would adapt to MEK, he has gained some incompatibility in the past, but for me it would be a pleasure to fight alongside him.

Sucateir0
Sucateiro, current CP, former dictator of Portugal.
I have nothing to point to. At the time of its dictatorship I've made an avatar to use http://imgur.com/18rR9xs In fact, I make avatars for everything and anything!

Moreover, the few interactions I have had with him, it seems to me that he uses his power for the good of PT. The fact that it was Dictator nothing worries me.

8 ) You said you have had a reaction only to two episodes. What reaction would that be? Tell me more about the episodes.

Your request for citizenship in PT was an episode that made me standing up
With so many applications for citizenship that are approved under the table, in a corrupt way, why the hell you couldn't be PT. Because again and again you had fought against PT? If for nothing else more you were hitting very hard in those times. It would be an added value that you start trying to get TP for PT.
I sent a PM to all members of Congress showing my displeasure at the way the conversation / debate was taking.

When the case went to the vote, the vote was well directed but as usual a congressman voted citizenship and the conversation got around. You become PT.
For shortly after you return to Brazil. 😛

The rylde's case ...
All started because a MEK soldier, i think it was gbr_blue, has given Canadian Citizenship to gu480 when he was almost, almost, to get to ... Legend and Canada still had no Legend at that time! Unfortunately for rylde, gu480 got the title, gave his name to it, and rylde and his friends went crazy!
It was MEK this, MEK that ... did not even seem that rylde was one of our best customers regarding the purchase of damage!

I published an article in my Serbian newspaper at Canada https://tinyurl.com/jhjek6u in which I placed my point of view to the Canadian people and, even, made a ticket to propose amendments to the game admins .... With rylde it was a friendly verbal battle! With admins, it was the usual, the same as talking to a wall. In the end, I think that at least on my side, the relationship with rylde has become normal.

The MEK commander could not stand still in front a such an heavy attack to his ranks.
Still, Canadian had fear that the MEK Day was celebrated on his land ... lol

9) All right, Pisco. You are a very experienced player, everyone knows that. What would you have to say to advice the players who are reading this interview?

The same as I have always said. Do not forget that this is just a game! If you're not a bum in life, why would you be one here?!?!?!?
Try to outline some cool goals for the game to make some sense, but you don't have to step on the others to achieve them.

10) Good advice, Pisco. What about the game? What do you think for example of the implementation of coups and dictatorship?

The implementation of the Dictatorships functionality I think was a good shot in the feet for the game.
It has greatly helped admins because to implement and maintain a dictatorship it takes a lot of cc, then real life money ends up entering in the game.
But this possibility, and the way it was implemented, lead many players to leave the game. In addition to having increased unease among players who have different opinions on the subject.

I personally have nothing against the Dictatorship system. When a Congress does not work, there are not many more chances to solve this problem. In PT we have had to implement a dictatorship in which the dictator was part of a list of Dictators approved by Congress. Only because our CP had a 'rage quit' and began to propose laws completely inept. But even in this situation Dictatorship had to be started only with the agreement of MU's Commanders because, obviously, Congress has its times.... zzzzzzzzzzzzz

Most of the Congress and congressman inactivity comes, I thinkm from the fact that the game has very few functionalities for the Congress itself. The whole debate, all the rules are set out of the game. So, no penalties in the game for the no less correct behavior.
You guys in rl Brazil, you have a Congress that is making an impeachment to a President only because she did exactly what everyone else do! (From what I read in the papers.

Anyway, older people tend to behave in eRepublik, a community game, as it was a strategy game like Sid Meier's Civilization, where everyone does what he wants, because in there it was you against the computer.

11) Do you think the Congress of Portugal in particular could act more often and more effectively in favor of the country? Consider it a deficiency of Portugal?

There you are putting me a mousetrap ...
I think the Portuguese Congress suffers from the same problem all the remaining congresses. The eRepublik has not set big rules for the Congress ... but the players, very soon, they tried to create domestic laws to Congress that everyone should fulfill ...

The big problem is that almost no one does that. The pace of the game does not allow group discussion. And when decisions sometimes have to be taken yesterday!
Another problem is the growing disinterest of the players ... Why go to Congress if no one follows the rules and are always the same in control?
In fact this is a military game with some political and economic nuances ... Decisions are almost all of them political, but in reality who wins wars are soldiers in the battlefield ...

Even more eRepublick it's becoming a purely economic game, work by COs ... and economic comes from VISA and Mastercard!

12) Very good! Still in the political module and specifically on the Congress, how do you think it should work an ideal Congress, both the game's responsibility as part of the players?

Honestly, I'm not here for political module. As I have said several times what I appreciate in people is consistency. And in politics there is everything but that. In politics, in economy and in the military module...

An ideal congress is like everything that is considered ideal .... an utopia. Not worth the demand for it as it does not exist. But each one demands what they want.

Congress should play with what the rules that the game has. Do not invent rules and more rules outside the game. This only gives confusion, because if it is extra game, there is minimal control. So no one sticks to it.

13)Leaving the political module for Military ... What do you think of ASTERIA? What is the future of it for you with the exit of some countries?

I have once said that the alliances are usually made to increase the power of the strongest and to give some protection to the weak. Like ... I will call my father!

ASTERIA has lost presence in South America so it is obviously weaker. But I think that the core remains as it is now (Serbia, Romania, China and Slovenia), ASTERIA will remain as a very strong alliance. Some balance in alliances matter only benefits the game.

Portugal is a pawn in this Alliance. I still do not understand the problems of former colony Brazil has towards Portugal! PT and BR had only to gain in forming a united block. But anyway ... I do not care about politics, so probably I would get it!

14), Pisco... but alliances today fall more in the military context, is not it? Anyway, even within the theme, what alliance you think today that most threatens the sovereignty of ASTERIA?

Alliances, from what I see, are only military.
It all depends on where they are going to fall Argentina and Brazil ... but everything seems to point to the PACIFICA be the most threatening.

15) Pisco, finally, say what you would change the game engine and what you would like to see changes in the behavior of the administration itself. Anyway, tell us what would be the closest game perfect for you. And feel free to leave the words recorded here he wants.

PMs should be able to deal with more players. Only 30 is ridiculous;
Congress should have more working tools to prevent bringing external laws to the game;
Congress should be able to take Citizenship from someone ( only with voting by Congress - not by the dictator);
Divisions by force and not by level;
The packs should not be offered to prevent the emergence of Collins in the game that with his VISA has endless CCs;
The Military Units should have more control tools of his soldiers (whether complete the DO, etc ..);
It should not be only recorded damage to TP, but the damage per country. To avoid accusations that someone does not hit for a particular country;
Each UM should have the possibility of having factories and own warehouses .;
And so on, and so on...

Good points, Pisco. By the time this interview I had in mind the question of citizenship, Divisions I believe that all call for this and the damage each country count in profile, with the player with the specific or not citizenship.

Well, folks, this was Pisco Soares, Commander of Mobile Elite Korp, MEK! That translated this article to English, too! Palms for him!

I hope you enjoyed the interview. The next one to be interview of this humble newspaper will be... you decide! That's right, folks. You will decide what name should be interviewed next time! Just comment below and make a sponsorship of any amount just to help me pay the face of the arts and a translator, because after all I can to get along in English but not enough for an interview... 😉
