Q: So Frerk, you've been Phx Secy Gen for a month now, and it's your last day on the job. How does it feel?

A: I feel freedom. It's a cool job but it's sooooo much work.

=======

Q: Was it a tough job?

A: Well, you're neccesary 24 hours. People want your advice for just about everything, from what company to buy to stuff like the Latvia-Estonia matter.

=======

Q: So you had all of Phoenix under you. Was it a thrill to have that kind of power?

A: No, it's more like a curse than a gift. It's so easy to say "You don't agree with me? Well, in that case you're out."

=======

Q: So you didnt like being the ultimate authority?

A: No. Some people are even thrilled because I accept their friendship request. It's funny the first time it happened but after that it becomes annoying.

=======

Q: You ran with Nameisis on the ticket as co-Secretary Generals of Phx. You won the election, but Nameisis quit and you were left alone. Is that why the job was tough?

A: No. The hardest part of the job is not the decision making. It's mostly the fact you're always required, for everything. People stress out if you sleep a little longer because they need you.

=======

Q: Doesnt Phx have a big HQ? Isnt there people to handle stuff?

A: A big HQ won't help if they're all inactive.

=======

Q: So what was the deal with Nameisis? One of the Estonians I talked to says that the Latvians went crazy since Nameisis left.

A: Well. Nameisis quit the game, and he was replaced by Kaspars in Latvia, who came up with the idea to make a sort of secret TW with Estonia to get a baby boom. It's just that they didn't inform Estonians, and didn't want to listen to me when I said no on pressing the button.

=======

Q: That must've left Phx in quite a predicament. So you tried talking to the Latvians but that didnt work?

A: Nope. We've tried everything, multiple persons talked to them. Both privately and together in a meeting.

=======

Q: What about talking to the Estonians, and telling them that it's just a training war?

A: Estonians didn't want a TW.

=======

Q: Howcome?

A: Well, they were part of another TW already. They never trusted the Latvians anymore since the EEK theft.

=======

Q: So you think the money was stolen by the Latvians?

A: No.

=======

Q: Cuz I couldnt figure it out

A: Estonians did 😛

=======

Q: So Estonians got the money? But they claim they didnt?

A: I believe Latvians should've given it back but, that doesn't make it a theft. No. It's probably sold already 😛

=======

Q: So who has the money in the end?

A: Latvia :3

=======

Q: I mean it's only 250 gold.

A: They have barely 2k citizens

=======

Q: so 250 gold is a lot for them?

A: Yes.

=======

Q: What about the Latvian accusations?

A: Load of bs.

=======

Q: Latvian President says: "As I said before in our Congress, Phoenix is not interested in small countries' interests. They only need Hungary/Russia/Serbia.. All others are for gaining money."

A: It's bs. I can remember we put a ton of gold in France/Germany.

=======

Q: Well his argument came down to this: "We want ACTION. We want BB. We want new players. So how is Phx gonna help 'em with that? They're surrounded on all sides by allies, and they cant swap thru estonia anymore since Estonia wont let'em. They even built Q5 hospitals everywhere.

A: They can't, we can't. Their geopolitical position just doesn't allow it.

=======

Q: So they should just be content with fighting thru MPP?

A: Yeah. And not attack allies.

=======

Q: So Phoenix is behind Estonia here, right?

A: Yes. They were the ones saying no yet they were the ones attacked..

=======

Q: There was a vote in the Phx HQ, and it came out 3-1. Iran, UK, Holland voted for Estonia, and Portugal voted for Latvia. Howcome Portugal voted for Latvia?

A: Didn't agree with punishment.

=======

Q: The punishment for Latvia was 300 Gold and peace with Estonia. But the Latvian President says he wont pay nor sign peace.

A: Well, if they won't pay it they're out. It's simple as that.

=======

Q: Oh yea? You think the next Latvian President will pay up?

A: If he wants to stay in PHOENIX, yes.

=======

Q: So if Latvia is kicked out, wont that be bad for Phoenix?

A: Why?

=======

Q: Latvia seems like a tough nation.

A: Like you yourself said they border only PHX countries.

=======

Q: Wont that be bad for the Phoenix countries then, if they became an EDEN ally?

A: It's up to Latvians what they're going to do. I just hope they know that if they backstab us and run to EDEN.

=======

Q: You think Latvia is angling to join up with EDEN?

A: I have no idea, sorry.

=======

Q: Is that's why they are antagonizing Estonia and Phoenix, so they can get kicked out of Phoenix and their population wont be unhappy about changing alliances?

A: I honestly don't know 🙂 It would make sense but that's all I can say 😛

=======

Q: The Latvian President said this: "Yesterday i found out that contract for the Phoenix alliance is not valid anymore.. Signed in december.. for 3 months. Then.. how they can force us to pay anything..as we dont break any rules." How do u respond to that?

A: The contract stopped being valid once admins removed Contracts alltogether. It's a mutual agreement though.

=======

Q: So you're saying the Phoenix alliance treaty is still intact?

A: Yes.

=======

Q: It doesnt need to be renogiated or anything?

A: It doesn't matter Latvia doesn't think it's intact, as we do.

=======

Q: So if Latvia became an enemy of Phx, how would that impact the situation in Europe?

A: 9MM bullets don't hurt a tank.

=======

Q: What about the recent calls by some Hungarian leaders, notably Feherlo for a Hungarian-Polish alliance?

A: That's just trollin'.

=======

Q: How confident are you that Phoenix can withstand the test of time?

A: Very confident.

=======

Q: what's the deal with the Entante? They seem like a Phoenix arm

A: Nah. They're an independant pro-PHOENIX alliance.

=======

Q: They always fight on Phoenix's side, do they also plan with Phoenix HQ?

A: Sometimes.

=======

Q: So why arent they a full part of Phx?

A: They're an independant alliance.

=======

Q: France is having a referendum to join Phoenix right now. How do you think it will go?

A: I hope they join :3

=======

Q: If they join, that would kill the Entante. Would the rest of the Entante join Phx then too?

A: I have no idea. I doubt it Belgium will join 😃

=======

Q: What about Italy and others?

A: I think Italy will, no idea about others.

=======

Q: You've been the Premier of Holland. What was that job like?

A: P cool. Prime Minister in the UNL means you're the boss of the government. Back when I was PM the biggest party would form the government. (I was PP)

=======

Q: Your nation has only 1k citizens. Howcome?

A: We try to make a babyboom yet we always fail :3

=======

Q: Holland is a RL militarstic nation. It's very surprising.

A: Nobody in our country has any idea how to make a BB 😛

=======

Q: So you've moved to UK recently. What's that like?

A: I'm back to UNL already. They lack active people without me ;_;

=======

Q: Are you gonna go for President of Holland?

A: Maybe.

=======

Q: So whats it like in the Phoenix HQ?

A: It's p cool. We rollin' and stuff. EDEN hatin'.

=======

Q: How do you think V2 will change things?

A: Everything will change. For example, you can improve skills and combat etc. by filling in how much time per day you're spending in eRep. Everything can alter stuff (I.E. better food gives more happiness, which in turn increases productivity.) And you can spend gold gold gold 😛

=======

Q: What do you think of USA?

A: They attempted to PTO Belgium and then said I was PTO'ing it ;_;

=======

Q: So whats the real truth on Belgium?

A: They were freed, USA sends troops to PTO/ATO, we send troops to PTO/ATO. Belgiums came there to have their country. After all, Belgians won.

=======

Q: Does Phx have forces in Belgium?

A: Not anymore. I told Hungary to retreat all of them. No idea about US though 😃

=======

Q: About Latvia, 3/5 presidential candidates have goals of occupying Estonia, and 1 even has a goal of occupying Lithuania.

A: I wish them good luck 😃

=======

Q: Is Phoenix concerned about the future?

A: No.

=======

Q: EDEN + USA + China > Phoenix in DMG. How can you survive the dmg output?

A: By spending more gold than they do.

=======

Q: Anythign the world should know about Phoenix?

A: We're p cool.

=======

Q: Cooler than EDEN?

A: Idk.

=======

Q: What about 3rd alliances? Whats your view on that?

A: I see the world as bi-polar, honestly.

=======

Q: So, 3rd alliances cant work?

A: Because PHOENIX and EDEN are too big. There's no way smaller alliances can survive on their own.

=======

Q: How's the Phoenix election going?

A: Kistru/Romool duo is winning against Doggett/Nascimento.

=======

Q: Last words?

A: LOVE FROM YOUR MARIJUANA BRO
