HAIL FRIENDS!



And this article is fully dedicated to our friends, who helped us and always do in our hour of need. I’m going to present three interviews I took in the last week. Let’s not waste any more time, here is the first interview with Strahinjic Banovan, the president of Serbia:

Zmei: Hi, Strahinjic Banovan, I want to record your words for the official newspaper of the Circle of Trust alliance newspaper. Can you start by saying a few words about yourself? I'm sure all our readers would love to know more about the president of Serbia.
Strahinjic Banovan: This kind of questions are always the hardest for me, because I don't like to talk much about myself 😛
I am an electric engineer, in love with basketball and football, beer, rakija (you must try it) and women of all age 😁
One of the "old-school" representatives from eSerbia.

Zmei: You are currently leading your country in very interesting times. These are times of changes, how do you feel about what has happened recently and what is yet to happen?
Strahinjic Banovan: I was saying that ONE is dead for almost half a year before it really collapsed. Alliance which does not have strong bond between countries is not an alliance. Alliance which doesn't resolve problems between it's members, but puts them under the carpet, is not alliance. It is just a bunch of unorganized people searching for their soft chair to sit down on it. Now, my goal is to make a real alliance, or at least to make basics for it's further upgrading.

Zmei: How do you feel about the new (even not yet created) alliances, Circle of Trust and CTRL?
Strahinjic Banovan: I find CoT as very interesting alliance with a very very big potential. I hope that you won't make mistakes which ONE made. I am glad that CoT is pro ex-ONE, if you understand me...
CTRL is the thing of the past. It collapsed before it was made. I don't think the creators of it will have success in reviving it.

Zmei: My next question may be a little sensitive but here it is: what is the position of Serbia regarding CoT?
Strahinjic Banovan: It shouldn't be sensitive. My current MoFA is one of the creators of CoT. I think that tells you everything 🙂

Zmei: What is Serbia's future? There seems to be a lot of moves and shakes right now in all of the old alliances, has Serbia chosen their next step yet?
Strahinjic Banovan: Serbia is in tough diplomatic period. It's hard to cooperate your military actions with allies if you don't have an alliance. We can't just have common chat channel with all of exONE countries and pretend nothing happened. We need to make a new alliance and we are doing hard job to make success in it.

Zmei: What do you think of the new game mechanics, the air strikes?
Strahinjic Banovan: I think that implementing of Airstrike is the best move that Admin made since v1. Now we will have much more strategy, much more important battles, and some of "not so important" countries will change their statuses in the recent future.

Zmei: What do you think of the current situation in South America?
Strahinjic Banovan: I am happy that we have helped Bulgaria to land successfully in Bolivia 🙂 But it's just a start, I think that real battles are in front of us. Also, I have to mention that I am really sad that Brazil is not an ally with Serbia for such a long period.

Zmei: Jumping to another hot topic: China's ban and eChina's future, do you believe eChina will be pillaged by other countries and will be occupied?
Strahinjic Banovan: I am very sorry that Chinese players can't play with us anymore. Although they were enemies of eSerbia, it is just a game and I am very sad that we lost such a good and tough opponent. And yes, I think that eChina won't exist on the map of the New World in the near futur, it's just the matter of time when some country will come to occupy it.

Zmei: I'm really glad being able to get your opinion on those matters, I don't want to take more of your time, so would you like to say something as a finale to our readers?
Strahinjic Banovan: I can say that it was a real pleasure to answer on your questions and I am honored that PR of CoT found time to make an interview with me.
I want to say hello to all of your readers and I hope this interview was interesting for them 🙂
Also, cherish frienships that you have in eRepublik. Respect your friends, and respect your enemies even more. They are just virtual enemies and one day, it would be a huge success to make a really big international meeting of eRepublik players from all of the countries. Cheers!



Next, here is the interview with MonosParanoicos, the president of Spain:

Zmei: Hi, MonosParanoicos, I want to record your words for the official newspaper of the Circle of Trust alliance newspaper. Can you start by saying a few words about yourself? I'm sure all our readers would love to know more about the country president of Spain.
MonosParanoicos: Well, since I started my elife I had it pretty clear: I would never be a big tank nor a great jew, since I was NOT going to spend a single euro in eR, so I turned to the outgame experience, learning from the bottom-up in FAF. Later I got into politics in Forocoches party, where I was grown up by the best and learnt what it takes to run a country. And I have ended being the cp of a great one.

Zmei: You are currently leading your country in very interesting times. These are times of changes, how do you feel about what has happened recently and what is yet to happen?
MonosParanoicos: I feel excited! We are probably witnessing the biggest change in eR balance of power since the creation of ONE. It´s the future of the game what´s being built today.

Zmei: Where will be Spain in the future? CTRL? What is the next step for your country?
MonosParanoicos: Spain has clearly set a path to CTRL along with Brazil, USA and Poland, and we feel committed to it. We have an historical close relation with Poland and want just to stick together. ONE has been a great alliance and we had built some strong ties that will perdure as well, but times change and we all are aware that everyone has to move on and find his own place in the new world.

Zmei: My next question may be a little sensitive but here it is: what is the position of Spain regarding CoT?
MonosParanoicos: We have just renewed our mpp´s with some CoT members. We expect to maintain good relations with them. That alliance is a good idea and could play a key role in the near future.

Zmei: What do you think of the new game mechanics, the air strikes?
MonosParanoicos: Airstrikes? Which country does feel completely safe now? Airstrikes not only change the way you can launch or receive an attack; frontiers mean less and mpp´s even more.

Zmei: What do you think of the current situation in South America?
MonosParanoicos: South America is the perfect example of what I have already said up there.

Zmei: Jumping to another hot topic: China's ban and eChina's future, do you believe eChina will be pillaged by other countries and will be occupied?
MonosParanoicos: That´s a possibility, but whoever wants to take on China must have his six pretty well covered 😉

Zmei: I'm really glad being able to get your opinion on those matters, I don't want to take more of your time, so would you like to say something as a finale to our readers?
MonosParanoicos: Yes. Thanks to all those that trust in me, as well as those who help.



The third interview I took was from the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Russia, nimnul. Here is what we discusse😛

Zmei: Hi, nimnul, I want to record your words for the official newspaper of the Circle of Trust alliance newspaper. Can you start by saying a few words about yourself? I'm sure all our readers would love to know more about the MoFA of Russia.
nimnul: I am already playing for more than 3 years and almost all that time I was MoFA or vMoFA. This spring - was president of eRussia for several months.

Zmei: You are currently in the leadership of your country in very interesting times. These are times of changes, how do you feel about what has happened recently and what is yet to happen?
nimnul: We are monitoring the situation very attentively. Changes make the game more interesting and at the same time require more responsibility and professionalism from the leaders.

Zmei: How do you feel about the new (even not yet created) alliances, Circle of Trust and CTRL?
nimnul: I think that multipolar world is better than bipolar. We have been playing in a bipolar paradigm for three years (Atlantis - Peace; Eden - Phoenix), now there is a chance that there will be several alliances with a complex system of mutual relationships. More room for diplomacy - more fun for players.

Zmei: My next question may be a little sensitive but here it is: what is the position of Russia regarding CoT?
nimnul: We have good relations with some CoT countries and have no relations with others. So I can say that our attitude to CoT in general is benevolently neutral.

Zmei: What is Russia's future? There seems to be a lot of moves and shakes right now in all of the old alliances, is Russia firm in their stand in TERRA?
nimnul: Yes we remain in Terra. Old friends and old wine are best. At the same time we keep on good relations with countries who left Terra, with most EDEN countries and with those who left EDEN. And beside that we gently develop new relations with those countries who want to be our allies.

Zmei: What do you think of the new game mechanics, the air strikes?
nimnul: I think it's an interesting and expectable innovation. It gives the countries a chance to change the routine enemies and try something new.

Zmei: What do you think of the current situation in South America?
nimnul: Well, you know the situation in South America was boring for ages. Most countries were in one the same alliance and the region was a safe haven almost without significant wars. And some countries decided to change it and provoke a conflict. And they succeeded greatly - now South America is an arena of confrontation of world superpowers. The new Balkans. I think those who made all this are satisfied.

Zmei: Jumping to another hot topic: China's ban and eChina's future, do you believe eChina will be pillaged by other countries and will be occupied?
nimnul: The ban decreased the number of players in China but not so significantly as one could expect. So I think eChina will survive this trouble. I hope so.

Zmei: I'm really glad being able to get your opinion on those matters, I don't want to take more of your time, so would you like to say something as a finale to our readers?
nimnul: Enjoy the game and respect each other.



I hope you enjoyed reading the thoughts of these three influential people in our New World. Hopefully, we will continue to cooperate in the future and our paths will be even closer together! As this has taken too long already, I wish you all the best, have fun and remember this is just a game!

Yours truly,
