Join the new world

Pozdrav zemljaci, susjedi i komšije.

Danas vam objavljujemo intervju sa jednim od najpoznatijih i možda najboljih igrača iz eSlovenije.

Ice Killa

Intervju sam htjeo uraditi na našem i slovenačkom jeziku, ali mi se pokvario gugl tranzistor, pa smo se dogovorili da to odradimo na engleskom jeziku.



1.) Please introduce yourself to us:

-Hello to everyone. Who am I? For some I may be Howly to others Ice Killa. But in general I stick to my old name wherever I am to be mentioned. I am former 7x president of eSlovenia, not to mention the countless positions I held in the government itself. I was part of the eRepublik rebellion that fought for the greater good of community. In the end we failed as not everyone supported us. Quite a shame looking at things nowadays.

Some believe I am the most noticeable and mentioned Slovenian in this game. Which may as well be true. However we put it, that was never my goal. All I have strove for during my playing of eRepublik was to freely share my thoughts, what I believe in. And in general I am of the opinion I have succeeded in a great deal in the mentioned.

People need to understand, I do not write articles for the sake of others, but for the sake of me. The only right way I would say. Only that will bring you countless ideas. Pure joy will befill you when you will tell yourself you are willing to write something, the joy is even bigger at the end of it - when you finish writing something. In short my writing experiences. An important aspect of me and my stance in eRepublik.

2.) Many people don't remember that you've been CP of eSlovenia ... are you satisfied with your work back then?

-Many do not remember that, which is a shame. As some keep saying how Slovenia was in its golden days when I was in charge. People keep saying it, not me, even though it has that sound of narcissism to it.

I was more than pleased with my work back then. In a single mandate I managed to do things that were before done in 4 months! People forgot all about it, generations changed, never have I - only got wiser and more experienced. Of course I made some mistakes, being inexperienced makes you do that. With time you can reflect on yourself, what you have done and realize you could have done so many things better. But that is always the case. One cannot escape it.

The only thing I always disliked was the fact how ungrateful people can be. You strive for perfection and get undermined in every possible way.

3.) Do you think eSlovenia is in a better, worse or same situation as then?

- Slovenia is definitely a worse place compared to the golden age. We were at that time considered at least as an important player - never a key player. But we were a player in the global affairs. After all in the term of Rudolf Maister Slovenia managed to conquer the Polish fortress Rhone Alps! One day of taxes brought 1 000 gold to our treasury, imagine that.

In my mandates we went after Italy, which on long term basis led to us conquering out western neighbor, where we are situated to this day. Comparing old Slovenia to the new one, you can notice how the community has half died or half left the game. Only thing that changes is the same old foolish presidents getting in charge and then undermining your reputation in every possible way.

Situation is worse. Nor am I respected as I used to be. The opinion of the elite was never for me, but always against me and so I am depicted in Slovenia.

4.) eSlovenia is a really stable country. Would you change anything if you were in a position to do so?

-Slovenia is a stable country, but we do not have any plans. Even the occupation of Switzerland and then losing it. We didn't even stand against Macedonia for taking it. No government articles were written regarding it. No one is deemed to take us seriously if we cannot stand up for what we believe is to be ours. I am of the opinion we got what we deserved.

I would surely strive for Slovenia to get more resources via diplomatic deals, diplomacy being one of the most noticeable things we lack in the very given moment.

5.) Do you have any specific stance towards eBosnia?

- No, in general neutral.

6.) Do you prefer a bipolar or a multipolar eWorld?

- For sure I prefer a multipolar world as it brings more excitement to a generally dead game. Look at the new camps that have arose recently. I have been finding the game far more interesting than it used to be in the days of bipolarity.

7.) There is a rumour that Q8 is on the way ... will you continue playing the game if that happens?

- I do not work, train nor fight. I do not care about economy. But paraphrasing it, you can't fix a burned tree.

8.) Thank you for your time, and as a last "question" do you have anything to say to eRepublik players?

-Indeed I do have to say something to the eRepublik players. Play this game for the sake of youand not for the sake of others. Share your thoughts, do not bring real life issues to this game. Learn from others as it may help you a lot in life - in a way you learn a lot about culture of other nations. It has in great way helped me to educate myself about things I was before not aware of.

Do not seek to follow, seek to lead or stray. In my case it's straying that's present. As such it has made me who I am, special in the eyes of others, normal in the eyes of me.



Htjeli smo prevesti ovaj intervju i na naš jezik, ali zbog dužine u originalu i sumnje da će te i ovo pročitati ostavili smo samo englesku verziju.

Lijep pozdrav svima vama.

Ispred DIA,
Don Milli
