[Parties] APP according to J Seemore

Day 3,085, 02:56 • Published in Australia Australia • by Gueneo
Greetings Australia!

This is another article in a series of interviews about the story of the parties showed in the national rankings. I've contacted all the PP asking their availability to answer some questions. In some cases I've contacted other players, suggested by the PPs, which most know the history of the party.
I would say thank to all the players who have given me their time to answer this questions!

Today we're with J Seemore that talk about Australian Parliamentary Party!



Gueneo:
Hi J Seemore! Are you available to reply to some questions?
J Seemore:
Of course my friend - that is very good initiative and I admire it! Please send your questions.


Gueneo:
Thank you J! Let's start...
You are one of most involved member of the "Australian Parliamentary Party". Can you tell us briefly when the party was founded, by whom and why?
J Seemore:
APP is pretty old party created back in 2011, two years before my eBirth. Visit eWiki and you will find some good information there (Australian Parliamentary Party).
Yes, it is not updated as it still shows I am the actual Party President. 🙂

Due to some internal issues our party had the misfortune to be separated. It was the time when ADP (new name to old inactive party) was created. Passionate players went there together with many younger accounts. I remember APP as glory party once upon a time but lack of activity in the game, in eAustralia, in cabinet & congress killed political module. I can understand if we are in the last place but even the one who is on the top is a shadow of it's former glory with more than 50 members most of them active. Just look at here to see how many political involved players we had not so long time ago: [APP] Melting.

And by looking on the SS I would like to salute KHMC for holding strong position all the time.


Gueneo:
What are the thoughts that currently can describe the party's commitment to the nation? This thinking has changed over the time or remained unchanged from the foundation?
J Seemore:
There is something we all must realize now.

Once upon a time Australia held few regions or even none and being congressman was real challenge with huge responsibility, especially with population of 800+. Today you only need to place your nomination and for sure the shiny congress medal will be yours.
- Multi can join the congress any time and to disturb the process;
- Dictatorship killed the political module;
- Money killed fresh ideas, passion, young politicians.

With much money all problems can be solved - buying strong accounts, buying more than one account and administrating by one person, buying really huge amount of damage and so on. This can be done by few players in the game. That kills the idea of the game and push more and more people for turning to 2 click mode.


Gueneo:
What is the best memory you have of the party or of the players who have shared membership in it?
J Seemore:
Infowar was CP and I was his vCP (nearly 20 months back). We had many daily wars with our friends in Scandinavia - direct wars with 3 countries while they tried to pushed back eUK. Minimum damage - maximum efficiency. And in the same time planning massive attacks where was necessary. It was extremely dynamical term with fast decisions, long term planning, achievements and disappointments. After that I decide to be constantly involved in politics by being PP, cabinet member or senator.


Gueneo:
About current political issues, what's your idea about Alliances, Resource wars and senator CS debates?
J Seemore:
If we want active population then we would need both unattractive and attractive bonuses. First to have a secured land to live and farm a bit. The special bonuses we need to have real wars, to have real diplomacy, to stand for our interests. I am food producer and normally I would prefer for myself more food bonuses. 🙂
PS: With the new information about resources it seems we can have only rare bonuses and to test our luck and diplomatic skills for keeping them.

Of course we need to leave Nebula. Our place is not there anymore.

AISO team can only work if contact with all applicants in time and create a list with authorized and unauthorized CS approval. This list must be visible. Nowadays everyone can become congress and to provide CS to whoever he/she decide without informing the others. Wish AISO team best of luck!


Gueneo:
You defined "extremely dynamical term with fast decisions" your term as vCP under Infowar term. Can you give at least an example to understand how today this aspect is slower compared to your experience? Do you think that this change is only due to the lower activity of the community, or are the changes in the game that impacted on this aspect?
J Seemore:
CO option was not invented and the price of the packs were around 18-25K cc. Without Infantry Kit and pretty limited experience points to jump in next div War Module was far more exiting. You can imagine how difficult is to convince strong accounts to fight in a battle when every single hit pushes him to next division where he will not be same monster. Of course you can imagine - you even abstained of work and voting in elections, didn't you?

It was interesting because we tried to have some piece of land and we had series of Training wars mixed with active campaign helping to our hosts in their Real wars.

Today we hold unattractive bonuses and we are not pretty target anymore. We fight in Training wars mostly and that kills the idea of playing the game. Things can be changed soon and we may restore our activity but we risk to lose our freedom. It is tricky. 🙂


Gueneo:
Oh, I know. In first years of only-training avoid all buttons was the rule. Today I've still unused companies but I start to press more buttons since start fight in last 3-4 months. 😃

I know you're one of most interested in the game economy. I admit, this is a personal curiosity, a bet without obligations: for long time the CC-Gold exchange remained around 0.003/0.004, do you think that these upgrades will lead to a new ratio on monetary exchange? You have already made predictions?
J Seemore:
Economical/Financial module is corrupted. There are players who can use their wallets to buy unlimited in-game currency much cheaper than Plato's Gold packs. Plato knows that well but he prefer someone to buy his products and be happy instead of rarely buy gold packs and curse the greedy admins.
Few Orgs hold dozens and dozens millions CC and easily they can control Monetary Market. Speculating with small amount of money (less than one million) is pure waste of time.
The price of gold is an equilibrium of Admins' salary and number of packs sold. Plato can only decide if we will trade the gold for 300 cc, 400 cc, 500 cc or much more - we are all mortals following the rules and adapting to all changes.


Gueneo:
Are you a native Australian? Can you tell us where you live (or in which region), or in which country, if you aren't Australian?
J Seemore:
I am RL Bulgarian and I live in Bulgaria. Name of my city/district is Plovdiv - this place have millenary history roughly around 6000 BC.


Gueneo:
Your IRL favourite food, movie and historical figure?
J Seemore:
It is difficult to name a favorite food, but for sure it must be cooked in home with traditional products. Bulgarian kitchen is extremely delicious but you can't fell the taste in any restaurant. Unfortunately commercialism kills the culture, traditions, values and good food outside home too.

Favorite movie??? Let's try again. Pick a nation or genre because I know many Balkans movies, Italian, French, Spanish, Scandinavian, UK, Russian, Asian, may be Hollywood too and so on. Do I forgot Brazilian movies?

About historical figures we can talk a lot, that's why I prefer to keep silence. 🙂


Gueneo:
The best and the worst player you find in the community?
(and why, if you want to explain, and hey, this isn't serious question, so choose whether to take seriously or not)
J Seemore:
Best player in our community?

A player who work for us, never creating any problems, knows well game mechanics and share his knowledge, can produce valued articles and contribute with positive mood. A player who is responsible and takes duties and assignments only if he is really sure he can perform well. A player who will never mislead you... Do you know him? I see your smile, you know him much better than anyone else. o7
I wish you will have free month soon to show your abilities as CP to all others who didn't realize who that player is while reading the aforementioned description. I believe you will make one really good term.

Worst player could be some of the haters here - just pick one.


Gueneo:
You're free (but not required) to ask me about anything (except how I found out you were the wolf).
J Seemore:
What have you learn by playing eRepublik and how this can be useful in your life and profession?


Gueneo:
Good one!
Don't know how you did it, but you have hit the way with this question.
It is a point on which I have insisted so much especially in eItaly in an attempt to convince some players to take the game for what it is, but also go beyon😛 use this game to learn because the game must not be trashed time and force.

Personally, officially I do a job that isn't very close to the PC world. Sure, we use computers, and the spreadsheet software are needed everywhere. ERepublik, if you put into it any force, definitely helps to improve your predisposition for these programs: learn always new formulas useful for any job.

In my spare time I also like to writing code for the web (PHP & MySQL in back-end and anything for the front-end). Are more than 10 years that I start learn and write code and I noticed how education via the Internet isn't to be underestimate😛 there are no university courses about computers that can give the basics learned on the internet, with practice, in 10 years (Tested!).
Back to the game, I've used to build some tool in the past to re-build game API's (someone tell me that exists in the pas, but now it's gone), and related tools that using that data. Also I've made some edits on forum software to talk with that data and make easy some job that in other way should be done manually.
All that is useful for me today to offer clients the best way to solve their manaagement issues easily: I've start to make some dynamic websites too, as secondary (but not less important) job.

So, peoples, have fun to play, but also abuse of the game and try to learn something for you or your job, moved by passion.

Thank you again J Seemore!
