Здраво!

Интервју со Највлиателните играчи во еКанада. Беше малку тешко да се дознаат кој се навистина највлијателните, па за тоа интервјуирав 3-ца а останатите уште ми немаат вратено.
Да почнеме:
Еве ги прашањата на Англиски јазик, па оние кој одговориле ќе бидат наведени.

1. How did you find out about the game and do you like it ?
Addy Lawrence: I followed a link from facebook. I used to really enjoy the game but now I find I play out of habit. It isn't nearly as fun as it was even six months ago.
Jacobi: I found out about it from an advertisement on cracked.com, a humor site that I really enjoy. I don't know if I necessary like the game, but I do enjoy what I've built in it!
Donna Rush: I heard about it on a radio show here in Montreal. I love the game. I haven't missed a day in over three years, and I'm usually on 4-5 times a day. My favourite aspect is trying to figure out how to use every change that the Admins put in to my advantage.
Sabzii: I first stumbled on to this game when I was in university. I was in a Spanish class and I thought it might be a good way to practice writing the language. I ended up in eSpain for the next three plus years. It's nice to be back in Canada and speaking my native language. Do I like it? I'd have to say yes, I'm still here. The community element and occasional excitement in politics is what keeps me coming back.

2. How it feels to be one of the most influential persons in eCanada ?
Addy Lawrence: I don't think I have as much influence as you suggest. I am a driven player and I am highly motivated to play if I have a project to work on. It has been difficult for me to find a worthwhile project since I finished my terms as CP several months ago. I am still searching for something to get involved with. When I'm engaged in a project, people tend to gravitate to the project because I am enthusiastic about it and I market it. It is a good feeling when it is in process but it is frustrating when you are in between.
Jacobi: There's a lot of pressure when you're considered to be "influential" because you have to behave in a way that's consistent with what the public thinks of you. If you don't, you lose your influence.
Donna Rush: That's hard to say because I don't consider myself very influential.
Sabzii: Well, I have a hard time describing myself that way just yet. Well I am experienced I'm still getting to know my Canadian community. eCanadian politics is very polarized so just who is influential depends very much on who you talk to.

3. What is the rule that you have been following to become this important to your country ?
Addy Lawrence: It isn't a rule but more of a strategy. I keep my word with people, I try to keep my interactions to the media and pms, IRC gets twisted. I share what I have learned about the game, and I make a lot of recommendations based on fact.
Jacobi: I look at things logically, and rationally, and I try to look at Canada as a team. Having experience and being available to help regardless of the role has proved beneficial too.
Donna Rush: Train to the maximum. Fight as much as possible. I use all 2400 available health/energy every day.
Sabzii: There are so many different ways that you can have a positive impact on your community. You can be a force on the battlefield but this is getting further and further out of reach for new citizens joining the game. Creating a social program can be rewarding like a charity or food bank to help new players. Be active in politics and have a positive impact on the game play experience for everyone.

4. Can you tell us what is the secret of successful person in this eWorld ?
Addy Lawrence: There is no secret to success. Have gold, will travel. After that, you have to build relationships.
Jacobi: I think being active in the media, being active in Canadian forums and on IRC helps too, but it really is being one of the people who can articulately talk about what's going on that's made a difference. That sort of combination between being someone who knows what they're talking about and can then speak about it in a way that makes sense is a good skill to have.
Donna Rush: Plan ahead, be smart, set goals for yourself and stick to them. I set three goals for myself and I have achieved two of them. First was to be a millionaire. I had over 125 companies, but I've cut back a little. Second was to be a God of War, that's done, with no battle hero awards. Third is to reach level 100 and be an elite citizen. I'm up to level 58 so far.
Sabzii: I think the definition of success is relative to everyone who plays. Medals and a big bank account are one thing but it's the influence you have on your community that will bring a tangible feeling of accomplishment.

5. What do you think about Macedonian-Canadian relations and is there a possibility of changing that relations ?
Addy Lawrence: I have no knowledge of Macedonian-Canadian relations. There is definitely a possibility of establishing a strong and positive relationship because eCan is in trouble. We no longer have a strong relationship with eUS and we need help.
Jacobi: They aren't that great right now, but they've never been bad because of the distance between our countries. I have no issues working with Macedonia where it benefits both Macedonia and Canada.
Donna Rush: Personally, I would like to see Canada have better relations with some of the more powerful countries, but the location of Canada makes it difficult. Being next to the USA puts Canada in a tough spot. We have to try not to anger them, because they could easily take us over.
Sabzii: In a world where geography and alliances determine friends and foes it's hard to imagine our nations allying. However we should never say never in erepublik because things can and do change. Just know that Canada's doors are always open to dialog. We're a friendly people 🙂

Останете ми со здравје. [KireEvil]
