Midnight Questions: castaneda

Day 2,293, 15:26 • Published in Ireland Cuba • by Harrilal


After writin' of mih earlier articles, people floated de idea of me joinin' Libertad. While dis is not an option ah ready to explore, it got me t'inkin'. So, ah hunted down dey commander an' put de cyborg ape in de hot seat. Come stay a while as ah ask castaneda a round of Midnight Questions!

Why originally did yuh choose Ireland?
I originally choose Ireland because im Irish , simples

How did yuh come to be commander of Libertad?
This time around it was because Tibulus was absent from the game for 2weeks and being the citizen with the highest xp i became CO by default ,
eRIP Tibulus , o7.

I have been CO before back in the glory days of Libertad . Nnowadays Libertad is dormant. The game changes have made Libertad and other MU's that shared the same ideals more or less redundant aand that is a good change .

How are dey redundant now?
When libertad were founded there were a lot of countries that were in permawipe mode, with the new updates there is no reason why a well organised country should re main permanently wiped. Ofc there are still countries under occupation but it remains easier to get back on the map

What are some oddah units dat shared Libertad's ideals?
there were libertad units in greece , cyprus , ireland and usa aswell as affiliated units like partizani (Bih) andwe workedwith other left wing groups througout the eworld . Co-operating as we did we were a force to be reckoned with 🙂

If dese groups are now redundant, why do yuh not join a different MU?
I feel obligatetd to care forthe unit . The original unit was taken over by an asswipe for using the unit to push their own agenda.

Do yuh like where Ireland is headed in de post-TWO world?
im not sure , I dont have much faith in current president to do anything other than what is best for him and his buddies. Based on previous terms.

our current president is always willing to take two cliker votes for his term , but any votes on irelands direction in the world are always taken from friday afternoons on when our population especially the natives are at their least active

Squares or Triangles? Why?
Triangles , cos they are more aerodynamic 😛

If yuh Irish citizenship was somehow taken away, what country would yuh seek asylum in?
eCyrus (lots of old buddies) or eNetherlands (my 2nd home in rl )

If yuh were about to leave eRepublik forever an' had permission for only one last shout, what would it be?
Inthe head , hit them in the head, severe head trauma is the only way to stop them (as the zombiepocalypse is the only way ill be leaving erep

What would be de one law/policy you would pass in Ireland if yuh had de chance?
not so much a law , ive always said our size is our greatest asset as well as being our greatest liability and as such I would implement a system where everyone(who wants) in ireland gets a say in our direction.

We have around 100 active citizens and half that again not so much . 5-6 mass mails organised by a govt could ensure everyone can have a say and understand what is going on everyday

T'anks kindly for takin' de time to answer all mih questions. As always, de interview guests get de last word. Anyt'ing you'd like to share wit' de readers from a word to a sentence to a paragraph or short story, by all means. De floor is yours.

Smoke em if you got'em


There are no stupid questions. Seriously. Ask Harrilal!
How it works: I take the first five (5) questions asked in the previous article's comment section and answer them however I see fit.

BOUD1CCA asks, "How much does an Irishman cost, and what are they good for?"
Today I would say that he has the same value as any other man or woman. However, had this question been asked between 200-400 years ago, the answer would have been even less than an African slave.

Where an African slave was typically 20-50 pounds Sterling, the Irish could be bought and sold for as little as 5 pounds Sterling. That's how low in the pecking order that the Irish were. Harsh.

What are they good for? Anything that needs getting done. Just like any other person in the word. Good for a smile. Good company. Just good people in general.

Releasethe Krakken asks, "i know t & t is not jamaica. do you think the image of jamaicans as all rastafarian is incorrect and why."
It absolutely is incorrect. Case in point, my grandparents are Jamaican and they are Catholic not Rastafari. I mean, from the time you have just one who is not, it can't be all.

The fact is that the majority of Jamaicans practice one of the Christian denominations. Rastafari, while heavily represented as the Jamaican stereotype in pop culture (usually quite poorly, I might add) are a very small minority in Jamaica. In a population of nearly 3 million, there are only between 15-30,000 Rastafari in Jamaica.

Viktor Kurgan asks, "Do you belive in God or any spiritual world above this corporeal realm you humanoids living on?"
My faith is my own. I prefer not to reveal where my faith lies. I will say that I do have a spiritual nature and that music is a huge part of it. You may draw your own conclusion from that, but I will not be speaking further on this.

castaneda asks, "Why?"
In my opinion, why is not a standalone question, but is rather a responsive question to something that needs clarification. Also, the legend goes that the only student in the philosophy class who passed answered "why not", as Colby so eloquently put it.

Anthony Colby asks, "How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?"
Funny you should ask. I was already asked this by Neil P v2.0, and I referred him to another article where the Midnight Robber asked the Irish Princess. Her answer was as follows: As the Princess owns many personal royal woodchucks, I can say with a high degree of certainty that one eager woodchuck would chuck about 20 kilograms if he should be feeling apt to do so. ♥

While the Irish Princess is apparently a dead citizen, one never knows when the dead will rise. So, I will keep her answer intact. Although Emergy Maxfell's is suitable if one dares to cross the princess.

And that’s five!
Remember folks! The first five (5) questions asked in the comments of this article, will be answered in my next article!
Thanks for reading!
