MEGA interview with CP Candidates
•
by moomoohead
I sent all 5 people running for CP 25 interview questions. I got a bit caried away with the amount. The anwsers are below, I think they give a good insight into the people running this month. They are all good people and I wish them all good luck. I did not get a responce back from Mic and BB said he is not running.
Bhane
CTB = Cry of the Banshee
KK = Kaptain Kidd
1.What is your RL country and why did you choice to play in Ireland?
Bhane: I am a plastic paddy, a US citizen with Irish heritage. eIreland will always be my home in this game
CTB- i am french in RL and i asked the irish CS because i wanted to play in a small and proud community.
KK-I'm actually a Canadian and have served as CP there in the past. Problems arose because I am outspoken and a 'doer', those that wished to be feet draggers and play politics didn't like me, so be it. I chose Ireland because of our history, myself + Ireland has equalled success. I believe in loyalty to those who have believed in me.
2.Who are the Three people in eIreland you admire the most and why?
Bhane: JohntheMany - My first employer
Castaneda - I wish he would re-enter politics
Seanan - The work he has put into building a truly apolitical state army is laudible.
CTB- admiration is too big but i really apreciate liam tatlock, BickUA and raven anarcho, and of course lot other players, but these three players changed my eHistory.
KK-I don't really admire people. I'll give a shout out to Ian Coleman though, when I moved to Ireland he was the only one who reached out to me. There is a reasom EA is number one imo.
3.What is eIrelands biggest current problem?
Bhane: Party politics.
There are people so focused on defeating other eIrish citizens, they will do whatever it takes to destroy "the enemy". They will say any lie, and use any dirty politic tactic you can think of, and then they do more. What they don't realize is that if they worked WITH their fellow countrymen instead, that energy could be better spent really making this nation so much stronger.
CTB- the relations/action with/on UK in general make trouble in ireland and divides our players.
KK-Unity obviously. There are no easy answers to this, however I strive to do my best to be reasonable without being confrontational.
4.Specificly how are you going to make this game fun next month?
Bhane: we have made a lot of efforts in the community department to bring more articles to the media for purely entertainment purposes. I hope to expand on that.
CTB-i want to give more power to citizen, i want they feel they have a real impact, and not just vote and clic for work and train.
KK-By taking Ireland where it's never been before. Building an alliance for ourselves has never been tried. Outwardly it will likely look boring as hell, but walking on the moon was also boring in reality. For those less into those kinda games the possible war with canada has a lot of benefits. By not scripting the war and only the closing of it leaves a free realm of possibilities nobody can guess the outcome of.
5.What are the three biggest duties of a MoF?
Bhane:Keeping the bank safe, and growing it through MM churn investing.
CTB-attentive to the monetary market, loyal and trustable
KK-Really there's only one and that's calculation. It's really an unforgiving job of number crunching and forecasting. I wouldn't wish the job on anyone, but I respect the people that can do it. The gov't makes demands and somehow the MoF makes those numbers work, it's hell in a handbasket.
6.What is your RL news year revelotion?
Bhane: I think you mean "resolution", or is there some tradition I'm unaware of in which people reveal some great secret every year. I'll do both for you. My resolution is to not-die this year. My revelation, is that I go back to starting chemotherapy tomorrow.
CTB-too personnal
KK-I don't do that
7.The Irish Reserve has 2.2 million in it, what would you do with it if elected CP?
Bhane: You're misrepresenting the situation. The reserve is not a windfall to be spent. It's the capital fund that is the source of the MM revenue, which pays for our state army. If the nation would decide to end the state funding of the IA, we would not need the capital funds. In that case, I would dividend out the bank to all the eIrish. To just "spend it" would mean the adopting a completely different socioeconomic dynamic in eIreland. If that becomes the will of the people, I would gladly implement the policy change.
CTB-make this money useful for citizen and work on our marketplace
KK-Let appleman continue to work it, he's done a great job of it. If anything I might wanna expand our MPP list in the alliance building part however I want those funds to be calculated to be self substaining just as they are currently.
8.Why should we trust you with the keys to the bank?
Bhane: You shouldn't trust any CP that wants the keys to the bank. I have not made Apple give me the keys, and I'm not going to.
CTB- stealing or use money for my own interest is just the contrary of my spirit. that's all i can say.
KK-I've answered this already but I refuse the keys to the bank, I don't want them. But if it makes everyone feel better I have a history, when I did have the keys in Canada I inserted money not removed it.
9.Who will your VP be if you get elected and why?
Bhane: Don Croata, because he was my right hand man when we conquered London in my first CP term. I know if I want something done, he can make it happen.
CTB- still in negociation, you will know in my next article
KK-Winston Hope Smith. He has been CP before and understands the job. I also don't believe we agree on many things, that keeps me honest. I've used the word unity here already, I have my reasons.
10.If you could only airstrike one country which would it be?
Bhane: Probably somewhere in Asia/Pacifica. We live in Europe and are very familiar with all the conflicts here. If we are going to AS, we might as well really stretch our legs, and see the other side of the world. Maybe Cyprus, since we have eIrish friends there for a fun training war.
CTB- pakistan, with our friend croatia near it's the perfect country to AS for us.
KK-I'd call it a waste of money and time.
11.Do you spend much time on IRC, do you think it is required of a CP?
Bhane: I am not on IRC, and I have had successful CP terms. It is not required, there are plenty of in-game tools for communication.
CTB- i am not a big fan of irc but i will do the job if i am elected.
KK-I spend as much time on irc as I need, it increases and decreases. But to the point yes, IRC is essential to doing a good job. The real knowledge and fast information comes from the personal relationships you build first hand. You might be able to get by without it, but you'll never build the relations you need without it.
12.How would you describe your leadership styls?
Bhane: My leadership style is one of inclusiveness. Despite all the propaganda, and lies, I don't dictate any decisions. I facilitate the decision making process of the people, or the dail, and I implement their decisions. If I were to just bark orders, the country would look very different right now, but I respect the will of the people.
CTB- passion and resolution !
KK-I'm a 'doer'. If I decide to do something I work at it. I also expect this from others. I'm not a slave driver but I expect people to do what they should be doing. I'll expect daily updates from my staff, however, I went to the dentist and didn't feel like sh!t so I sat around with my finger up my a$$, is an acceptable update. I like to be informed, regardless of the information. The reasoning is sound for it, mainly that everyone is on the same page at all times so people aren't contridicting each other.
13.Who do you consider your three closest eFriends?
Bhane: I don't have any close friends in the game. That's probably because I don't IRC, and the metagame people get very clique-ish. I have probably a hundred e-friends or acquaintences, but I would not call any of them particularly close.
CTB- my banshees :') !
KK-eFriends is kinda weird, but if their were 3 people I would trust to talk about anything with I'd say Mr Jack X, Jude Conners and that 'Old Man Custer guy'.
14.What have you achieved in this game that made you the most proud and what was your best time playing this game so far?
Bhane: In my first CP term I spent thousands of my own tanks supplying our march to plant the Irish flag in London.
CTB- my party, an amazing happyness to create and see it growing :') and the shield tournament, i gave all i had for the country.
KK-I can't say anything besides being the first CP to conquer London, working with Ireland it was an epic moment.
15.If you could have dinner with anyone in the world dead or alive who would it be and why?
Bhane: My best friend that I have lost contact with. We haven't seen each other in years.
CTB-marc aurele http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marc_Aur%C3%A8le probably the best human ever, respect.
KK-Justine Bieber. Really, I'd just like to punch him in the head myself.
16.Favorite Animial, cat, dog, other?
Bhane: For a housepet, I prefer cats. I am lazy, and they are very low maintenance. You don't need to walk them 3 times a day, and with modern, automated litterboxes, you don't even need to scoop anymore. You just leave out some food, and pet them when you need a companion. For some fun playtime, all you need is a laser pointer.
CTB- not really fan of animals but cats give me smile sometimes.
KK-Dog, truly man's best friend. Besides I'm highly allergic to cats.
17.How many times a day do you log in to game and how many hours are you on the game?
Bhane: I log in dozens of times a day. I am constantly checking in for a few minutes, or hours.
CTB- too many hours/day 😁
"
KK-Easily over a dozen logins. Time depends on who's around to hang with, I can spend 5 mins or all day depending on what's going on.
18.Please give three words that best describe you?
Bhane: Honesty, Integrity, Generosity
CTB- driven-loyal-imaginative
KK-Redneck, honor, easygoing.
19.What do you think the tougest part about being CP is going to be for you?
Bhane: The same challenge I have faced the previous terms. Party politic hitmen assaulting the media with an absolute barrage of lies.
CTB- the air strike if we really do it.
KK-Staying sober. There's nothing like becoming CP and getting drunk for the month. 😛
20.Name the two most influential people in another country in eRepublik that you call a friend?
Bhane: I'll go back to the previous statement on friends. It would be Smee Again and Romper, if I had to pick the two foreigners that I have the most repoire with. Me and Smee Again got to know each other, and worked closely in another browser game. I had a few good talks with Romper once upon a time, too. Because I have not overused that friendship (as many people would be tempted to), he has come eIreland's aid every time I have PMd him.`
CTB- i will not give names but some influent players of france that i know
KK-Oblige and ilphen
21.Specificly what information should be published about a countries finances and what should not?
Bhane: I ask Apple to publish an expenditure report every term. If eIreland sends money anywhere, or spends money on anything, then the people should know where it goes.
CTB- the states of our treasury must be shown each month. to the thing we have to keep secret i will see if i am elected (with appleman)
KK-I think providing information of where our money is that anyone that wants to watch it is fine. Giving out full statements for international viewing is not a good idea. Anyone can watch an org if you want them to or not, butif you feel that strongly about it you're welcome to watch.
22.What is your favorite county in Ireland?
Bhane: I usually stay in Dublin when I am on eIrish soil, because it is the capital. But I really love all of eIreland best, it's hard to pick favorites.
CTB- i didn't travel in all ireland sadly..
KK-Actually Cork, the metallica remake of the old folk song just has me sold.
23.Bsest Irish CP to date and why?
Bhane: Sweet Drinker's financial diligence during his CP tenure is the reason our bank has recovered to the level it has since the robbery.
CTB- none because no month was perfect enough, but how can it be? 😉
KK-Patrick O'Leary. Just because I got to work with him and our UK invasion, while imperfect, was just a total blast.
24.Favortie RL sports team?
Bhane: College - The Buckeyes
Pro - The Browns (sigh)
CTB- ice hockey, soon winter olympic games o/
KK-Ottawa Senators
25.Why did you pick your in game name?
Bhane: It's one of my favorite old DnD characters. He was an epic Dwarf Armorsmith/Weaponsmith, who crafted all his own gear.
CTB- i love celtic culture and imaginary. i like y name, poetic and dangerous
KK-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hyhiqq-FzDU

KK for CP
V ça c'est de l'interview 😁
Bhane is it a lie or not you openly as CP of Ireland supported a conway who openly betrayed Ireland and had an active role in theft of irish money?
Is it lie or not you had a mockery of referendum by apointing only yourself for a sole vote counter?
is it lie or not we still dont know where those 7000 golds are?
As for Sweet he claimed he has a super secret that can make apiles of goldsfrom 1 iep.
And duriing his terms Sweet did nothing except collecting taxes....and letting brits occupy ireland without any ressistance.
Most state money was earned by irish people with those 7000 golds..not Sweet.
Sweet...a CP who turned once proud and defiant ireland into a bendovering coward joke.
Ireland..a country of spinless cowards who bendover to whoever attacks....a country who will sell their lands like pimp sells hookers...
And Bhane admire such CP...no suprises there
Your narrative would make sense if it weren't for the first fundamental mistake you regularly make - which is equivocating real life politics with events and decision making in eRepublik.
I call this a mistake, but of course, you have been around long enough that you should know better - and so the only two possible conclusions are either that you are 1) dishonest, or 2) a very slow learner.
I think perhaps, that you are like a tree that started growing crooked a long time ago. There was a time when someone could have explained how things really work, and then you would understand that in the context of eRepublik the decisions of your superiors make sense - but instead you were neglected, and now many years later you are deformed and hunched over... failing to grow up toward the light of reality, and in your depravity, substituting some delusion of a higher power who is remarkably like yourself.
Are you the messiah Kurgan? Bring us your words of holy wisdom, and inform us on how every single person who's ever had any kind of power in eIreland somehow turned out to be demon or a monster... Orcs and Kunts, who want to dedicate parties to your genitals...
there there *pats kurgan on the head*
So many words and yet not a single fact.
I asked a simple questions, and i do for a long time and all i get is gibberish like your reply ian.
But while you are here do you care answered why did you let chewies brits in ireland while you were CP.
As we all know you had a sole decision about british aplications for irish cz...not immigration comitee.
Why did you by teaming with brits who helped chewie to plunder british vault directly connected ireland with that theft?
You basically brought a grate shame to ireland internationally...
And fact is that Malbekh founded a party with my genitals in its title.
But you keep defending sex abusers and predators like malbekh...
Kergun, why do u support the theft in the papers, then turn around and say it brought us shame now? Why can't you orcs make up your minds?
When did you decide that the British Army immigration that started in Sweet's term, had anything to do with Chew? If they do, then its news to me - and tbh i just don't give two fecks what happens in eUK's internal affairs. Why are you so obsessed with eUK issues Viktor? You like to lick eBrit behind? Is that it?
I don't remember you complaining when those eBrits helped us win battles when I liberated all of eIreland in my Cp term and helped us get all that gold that RTK will probably try to steal all for himself to upgrade to Q57 training grounds because he doesn't understand how strength or damage works apparently!
Why are you so concerned for the eUK now? Are you an eBrit slave? Kergun... why??!?!?!?! Come back to the light! Let go of the DEMONZ! Who is Malbekh? You're obsessed with dead citizens who are dead! Necromancer! Return to the light of the heavenz.
Also, immigration of Brits was left up to council of the WORD! All Brit immigrations were decided on by the Clerics since only they can see into a man's soul, and also through his clothes 😒
Coleman,you are losing yourself.
So you claim that immigration comitee let chewies brits in ireland?
Can you confirm that? Coz i would like to hear comitee respod to this since i did ask one of them and was told YOU AS CP HAD SOLE DECISION FOR ALL BRITISH APLICATIONS.
And a fact is it was you who demanded in Dail mass mail for chewies brits to be let in.
As for me I do support destruction of UK and do congratz what chewie did to brits.....as civilian and as irish.
You, ian, supported that theft as CP and as such you brought diplomacy into this shit....you made Irish government to lool like a gang of thiefs...wich you are.
surely you see the difference.
And you ian won shit....Banshee did more for liberation of ireland then entire IA....
And as your minister Boru admitted in hi very article you simply waited for months until world situation changed and brits could not hold our teritories anymore.
After all didnt you together with sweet and seanan screaming for months IRISH WILL NEVER NEVER NEVER DEFEAT BRITSON BATTLEFIELD!
WE HAVE NO CHANCE EXCEPT DIPLOMACY
And if we add your strong suport to conway who openly betrayed ireland and had an active role in theft of irish money....
Its clear your loyalty is not ireland
And lets not forget you ordered your ministers to ban krakken...coy of that colby becmae the first minister of MoC who destroyed neutrality of MoC.
You became first CP who discriminated an irish citizen and brought segregation into ireland.
Thiefs, scammers and traitors you support as irish heroes while peoplelike krakken who have courage to stand against crimes, he gets bullied by you....
Kergun! You were on the committee of 100 people who decided to let in the eBrits. You voted yes to letting them in 27 and a half times - even though you only had one vote.
It was you who decided to let in the eBrit scum! TRAITOR! ORC!
Sometimes its just too easy.....sometimes i just have to seat back and watch how you orcs tearing a new one to yourself.
So i thank you for this last reply....you prove my point about you orcs...
So Ian how is going that crusade of yours in trying banning me and Krakken from this game?
Any luck?
Yes, you and RTK are already banned. This is what eRepublik heaven looks like. In fact, I'm just a figment of your imagination, playing back your worst fears, that in fact you are responsible for the licking of eBrit behinds, and also that you caused global warming ;_;
This is a light of the word, do you feel its divine justice? Allow it to enter you 😉
Ian is beating you at your own game here kergun, the shame.
I dont know what game ian plays my dear ibhoy....but its not mine.
We Clerics fight against demons that force you orcs to do bad things.
We do it coz of love....
Tell me ian is this your first breakdown or you had it before?
The only thing I'm breaking down is your lies Kergun!
All with glorious warm light of the WORD! Repent you demon orc!
But....but.....what lies Ian?
For months i ask from you orcs to say openly...what lies?
All you do is trolling and talking silly.
But i must admit its funny to look at you right now....
Is this what happens to orcs when cornered?
Kergun! I can never be cornered, for the light of the WORD fills all rooms in every corner and crevasse, and I am one with that light in the WORD of the HEAVENZ!!!!!
I have answered all your questions, but you do not hear them for the demonz inside you control your thoughts! When demonz are controlling your thoughts, you cannot use reason to fight them! FAITH is the only way out of orcdom! Embrace the true light of the WORD! Have faith that it is actually you who has been an ORC and a KUNT all this time!!!! You who sold out eIreland, accepted eBrit immigrants!!! You who caused global warming, and allowed RTK's poor cat to go outside in that wife beater!!!!! REpENT!
Ian now its your chance!
Focus on The Word only.....ignore demonic haucinations that haunts you.
Focus on The Word of Heavens!
Do not let demon snatch you back into his claws!
No demonz can touch me Kergun! The demonz inside YOU are manipulating your mamalian reptile brain to make the sexy angels around me look like demonz to you! It will take all of your strength and faith to accept that you are an ORC!!! REpent!
For you who cared to read to this part....this crazy guy ian e coleman..
He support Bhane....this kind of bullies you will have to deal if you dare to question Orc like Bhane.
So be careful or Coleman will try to verbally rape you as he tries with me now.
But his fails in that hence his obvious frustration....
ROFL. Way to turn on the crazy Ian. Good thing you are able to turn it off though unlike some.
A criminal will throughout his life continue with his lies Vik. Faced with clear evidence , in the box after found guilty and lastly in jail and afterwards on the street he will continue with his lie I did not do it. I did not do it (and am not a bad person). They are hiding from their bad sides their basically decrepit liars players who are unable to accept the path of the righteous and meek. They cannot ever tell the truth as in their eyes we are the fools for being honest. But their poor deluded ambitions to remain in power is so strong they cannot forsake the lie and come clean. When we stand before the gates they will still be selling the lie I however wonder if someone will still belief them in the big fryer.
This is true! RTK and VK, I fear for your mortal souls! Repent, and save yourselves from the righteous fires of "the big fryer"! The WORD sees all, it sees through your lies and manipulations, into the fabric of your shrivelled infant hearts! Embrace that light and the WORD! Accept responsibility for the land rentals, eBrit immigrants, and also global warming - CONFESS, and the warm light of the WORD will surround you!
I sense a fake cleric trying to save a soul. Repent my son or we will put in a special word for you and you will get the George Foreman fat fryer in Anthony's shop.
I am a ginger, so I never had a soul anyway... but I am filled with the light of the HEAVENS! I prefer a Coleman stove anyway.
I'm better to be a fake cleric than a fake socialist like you! Buy me a Q4 TG or else! Traitor.
Brother krakken i belive our wretched child ian has lost it....the demon inside him is raging.....
Lets pray for him...
Kergun! I have won many online poker tournaments, which is what makes me such an expert at eRepublik. You say I lost it, but what about how good I am at online poker?!
And anyway, RTK's cat wears a wife beater, and he let's it go out like that?!!?!!? Shameful.
did you smoke something ian "belsebub" your talking a bunch of nonsense today.
Ian seems to have a breakdown....clearly guilt eats him from inside.
Ian my child if you feel hurt coz of your sins....repent.....repent and accept The Word of Heavens...
Reject the orc way and accept the cleric way...
Kergun!!!! You fool, I've always had the warm glow of the WORD within me! I am a reservoir of holy enlightenment and burning righteousness!
It is you who is the orc! You who has always been a prisoner to demonz! You who sold Dublin to the eBrits after you licked their feets! You who can't even help your wretched soulmate RTK to get that wife beater off of his teenage angst ridden cat!?!?!! How much shame you must feel!
A criminal will throughout his life continue with his lies Vik. Faced with clear evidence , in the box after found guilty and lastly in jail and afterwards on the street he will continue with his lie I did not do it. I did not do it (and am not a bad person).

When we stand before the gates they will still be selling the lie I however wonder if someone will still belief them in the big fryer.
Oh my WORD!!!! RTK, you have been caught in a blackhole, and are repeating yourself! Only a category 7 demonz could do this to you!!! You must repent imediately, or be sucked into the immense gravity of the demonz darkness, and never be seen again! REpENt! you SINNER repENT!
this is a screenshot moment..a moment when demon inside ian recognised The Word as superior force.
As State Prior and official exorcist i can recognise vital words within demonic gibberish....
Ian....clearly you have a strong inner fights with a demon.
I prey for you to win even it is fun to watch you losing it
iAN WE CHERISH YOUR FIGHT AGAINST THE DARKNESS INSIDE YOU. MY SON THE LORD HAS SPOKEN AND HE HAS BLESSED YOUR FIGHT WITH A HOLY VOTE. YOUR SINS WILL BE CAST OF YOUR SHOULDERS MY SON AND THE LIGHT WILL ENTER YOU!
Also what friggin cat r u talkin about.?
Oh my WORD! Krakkhead, you have forgotten about your beloved wife beater wearing cat SNOWBALLS?!!?!!? The Demonz are tearing you away from reality!!!! Next you'll be asking me who Kergun is ;_;
I do not follow you Ian is the cat wearing a wife beater or do I have a friend called snowballs who is a wearing a cat and is a wife beater. My poco loco translator isnt working today hombre and to repeat i am not phil helmuth.
You cat is your friend named Snowballs. You cat wears a wife beater, and incidentally beats your wife Kergun as well. Its all very sad, but its your own fault for letting your cat go outside in that wife beater... shameful.
wtf is a wife beater lol my cat what is the name of my cat male /female. how many do i have what is their colors.
How did I know you were going to ask about their colours? I'm disappointed in your RTK.
You should be more worried about getting the wife beater off your cat SNOWBALLS. Fitting name for you cat, given your name is Krakkhead. Such a sad state of affairs.
drugs are bad mckay dont do drugs mckay cause their bad mckay
