How did your career begin?

Back in the beta days I saw an advert for eRepublik. It was invitation-only at That Time. Curious I was to see what a Romanian company can do in the field. So I subscribed to the invitation queue with my junk email account. A month later I Received an invitation and I created my account. Did the game 3-4 clicks and Abandoned (Seema pretty sucky at the time, and it hasn't improved much over the years😁. Back In Those Days let you to post your CV to get a job and the job offer was Received via email. So the next month I checked my junk mail account and I got an invitation telles. I logged back in, Started to read the media, saw a lot of similarities with RL (Seema it to me at the time That I am Way Smarter Than The Other players, Which of course is true-still 😁... and decide to stay.

How did you Become a troll?

The only Thing That Makes this game great is the community. And the community is a bit eRepublik Different from Other Kinds of online gaming communities as it Gathers a very heterogeneous bunch of people. To SUCCEED in this game, you need to talk / write a lot. I Guess eRepublik can be seen as a good training camp for future RL politicians, activists or journalists. So I got Trapped by the community.

At first I did all the regular gameplay: military career (got FM Before I Achieved 9 strength, with Lots of RL cash), tried a career in politics (the failed one, as it's way too Similar to RL stuff), Started a Few COMPANIES
(Takes way too much time to be a good manager, and I am pretty lazy) and play roles in the administration Various (Founding member of Soimii Patrie military unit, Deputy Commander of the Romanian unit During the empire, ambassador in France, military advisor For A Few Presidents, special ops - as in programming tools for erep).

I did quit back in the days and Came back seven months later. So, I did a bit of everything. I do not really remember When I became a troll, troll more But I probably Since I've returned. I Learned the ways of fine trolling from Zoli's great players (he is like the Master Yoda for us Trolls), Dsalageanu, Quicksilver, Grakulan, GabrielP, Gregorious Maximus Manastur (the honest troll) and others. Trolling is a terrible weapon in this game based on words. You get to Pissed off your enemy, you get to plant the seed of doubt in new or Less Informed players. You need to blend facts with Lies. You need to answer quickly. You need to be sparky. And you need a Worthy adversary for a Successful trolling. To Some Extent it is like a game of chess.

Most of the good players I know either has to leave eRepublik After a while, or Become Trolls. Once you get the hook, eRepublik consumes you from the inside (addiction is pretty Serious After the point). Trolling is the last evolution in an eRepublik carreer, Retirement like in RL. You get to do Whatever You Want and When You Want It.


What do you like in the troll?

The troll is the backbone of eRepublik next to the military strategist. Both "Professions" are Constantly Evolving. You need to better yourself everytime. It's not like the company owner or the soldier, où Needs only one discipline, once you are on the right track. The troll gets the animated media. The troll gets Reactions Reactions and make this game interesting. ERepublik and trolling is a good training for RL too, as you learn how to trick people to think your thoughts.

Only a smart player can be a good troll. For instance, your Hungarian Readers are very familiar with Mihail Cazacu Sebahmah or, at the Romanian side and we know Clawy or Photoshop. More Famous Than They Are Now Our Former Presidents🙂 I play this game to Meet smart people and trolling is the best way to dig out Them. I like to believe That I got good friends out of trolling eRepublik, and That Makes up for all the time and money I have Spent at this game.
Trolling is also on the IRC Even funnier, as You Have a wider array of Subjects, from politics to pedophilia RL🙂. And you need to log in an Even Faster trolling the thinker to SUCCEED. And doing it Magyarul only adds to the Challenge. I love my IRC trollfights with Erwin Schauman, "Another master troll.

As a side note, the easiest media to troll is the U.S. media, and The Hardest one is the French media (thos guys are great, it's the next level: trolling the Trolls, pretty har😛))


Once you were a Member of Congress. Congress was like "What?" How Have You Been active?

Well, kindof. I was a member of the Ukraine Congress During the TO operation. Actually That operation was the only one I can remember Where the Diplomatic Relations Between the Countries TOed TOer & The improved as a result. It was sebahmah During the administration and I only voted as Ordered (2 laws if I recall right). After I resigned a week or so, When the orders were given.


Are you an Australian citizen? " What attracted you to the Territory roo? Why did you take part in the lake?

I am an Aussie as part of the Initiative Against antiTO Indonesia. ERepublik During my life, I've voted in Romania Selden. Have We usually orders to vote in the TO or an operation antiTO one. The HAD TO in Ukraine's closing objectif The War Between Romania and Ukraine. Once we Achieved That, we went back home and protected from Ukraine for the next Few TOS Russian Elections.


Ukraine is also a member of the Entente. Why do you Want to help thos WHO Would prefer to support Phoenix?

That operation is about a year old. Nowadays We have again in the War Against Ukraine and Ukraine is pro Russian leadership, if not truly Russia🙂 Things Evolve in eRepublik, and hopefully one day we will get rid of legacy Alliances and Partnerships maybe see new or as Hungary, Romania, Croatia Serbia. That Would Be Cool and Would give hope for the future in RL. Nationalism May Be Good ingame, as it attracts players (and the quality of thos players is often a matter of debate😁 But it's a plague outside the game. Now That I think of it, Nationalism is a form of mass and unhealthy trolling🙂


Many players are Involved in the IRL Romanian-Hungarian Conflict. If the two Countries were allies, how Could one get new players?

Not Getting new players is the players' business or worry. It's the game owners' issue to deal with. Both Hungary and Romania show That it is Possible to play competently Without Having a massive user base. We SHOULD focus on Having Fun, like the kind Hungary HAD ITS Territories When it got back from Romania, or the kind of fun we let HK When we took from Hungary. Because of the way the game is run (They Measure Their success in terms of users) the easy way to get ahead is to Have More Citizens, more friends, more clones. But easy Does not mean fun. Having Fun is a great idea in terms of Military Strategy, Spies infiltrating up to the Highest Levels or a diplomatic success, like turning foes into allies. That's what you can about braga. Handing out fliers or spamming forums is Not my idea of fun, and neither is tending to clonefarm. And there's nothing great about 30k a citizen of country beating the hell out of one of the 2k. And furthermore, Having a baby boom Can Be Both a Blessing and a Curse, Quicksilver ask🙂

But, from trolling to the point of view, as the pedobear always says, let your babies come to me🙂
