Hello eWorld,

This week Macedonia had an epic victory and now they will have a congress with 3 regions!
I feel especially proud about this. I have a lot of eMacedonian friends and if I ever left Switzerland, that’s where I would go.

A lot of the credit for this success goes to Phantom MKD, so I asked him if he would kindly do an interview with me. He agreed and provided me with pictures of his RL home that I have placed in the article.

Here is the results:



1. Please give us a little background about yourself in-game and in real life.

Firstly, my real name is Vangel. Am 22 years old and I live in Ohrid. I`m student at the tourism and hospitality college. I am a big fan of strategy games and I love spending time on the PC where I can meet new people and make new friends.

My in-game nick comes from a hero from a strategy called DOTA - Defense of the Ancients 1. When I found this game I really liked the idea that I fight for my country, meeting new friends and some enemies.
The Military module of is one of my favorites. It’s a nice based strategy.

2. Where do you live in real life?

I live in City named Ohrid in Republic of Macedonia. The city is rich in picturesque houses and monuments, and tourism is predominant. It is located southwest of Skopje, west of Resen and Bitola. In Ohrid we have a beautiful lake and also 365 churches. One for each day of the year.

In 1979 and in 1980, Ohrid and Lake Ohrid were accepted as Cultural and Natural World Heritage Sites by UNESCO. In fact, Ohrid is one of only 28 sites that are part of UNESCO's World Heritage that are both Cultural and Natural sites.



3. You just had a HUGE military success. What was your strategy and how did you implement it?

For the first time when i was elected it was very hard for me because in just a couple of days Greece wanted to reset the determination bonus of Macedonia's regions. So I had to decide where to fly.
AS is very powerful option and also very tricky and risky. Firstly u must get at least one region free and FIRST NE the country that might attack u, so u can avoid time for deleting you before u land. Th other idea is that u can also use AS if u have 2 lands and without NE. This gives u time to land and not to be erased. Then u must choose the target. I suggest u firstly try to talk with the place u want to land and to explain to them why u go there. Unless it's an AS for fun.
My second month when i used AS was hard also because we didn`t have enough bread and we needed to collect it before Greek NE on Egypt expired. That was how i fly away from there.

4. Do you have any advice for other countries in the same situation?

Well use your AS wise and try always to find time for people that really appreciate u. Also u must be motivated to help your country.
Try firstly to understand all the rules that Erep has in the Military module. This will give u a good view of the map and battlefield.



5. Do you have any future plans for Greece?

Well for now I don`t have plans for them.



6. You are Macedonia's CP and you seem to be the Minister of Defense also. How do you accomplish so much?

Yes also I work as MoD and MoFA. Well it’s hard to be in all of these positions. Firstly u must have free time.
I spend almost 16 hours a day on this game.
This gives me enough time to work on all positions.
My point of working this all alone is that I want the job to be correct and to be perfect or in other words, to be done.
Also I have a nice team that help me in the other tasks like ministry of information , health and this term DarkoDimovski1 helps me in MoFA 🙂


7. Do you have any words of wisdom for eRep players?

Yes my words are that u know who you are and no one can take that from u!!!
And ofc my favorite quote:
“Every person is born twice. The second time is when you earn your place among the people forever.”


...Samuil's Fortress

8. What are 3 things that you would change about game mechanics?

Hm... I think that we need a better economy module. Also I think a good idea is for gold buyers to be limited. And I think that we need new and better rewards. Tournaments every week, etc.


9. What is your most important reason for continuing to play this "game” ?

Well the most important reason is that I play this game because of my friends!
And I want to meet new people.


I wish to thank Phantom MKD for his time and to wish continued success for Macedonia. I also want to say that his home city looks amazing.


Regards,

Rican
