Q:How did you find the game?
A:I was googleing "world stratagem games" I believe. When I saw this game I figured what the hell let's try it.

Q:Who would you say has helped you the most?
A:I would have to say that would be you. I originally signed with Pizza the Huts party simply because it was a Conservative party. You messaged me and told me the truth about Pizza with proof, which lead to me changing over to the Revolutionary Party

Q:What aspects of eRepublik do you like?
A:I like how it creates a some what second life for players, with the ability to get a job, fight for your country, or even run it.

Q:What aspects of eRepublik don't you like?
A:I don't like that i don't always know what exactly is going on (yet that could be accounted to me being new). But why would we make China an allie, a country that, to me, seems to be trying to conquer all of Asia. I guess its that I can't tell what makes countries allies or enemies.

Q:What would you say is your most proud moment so far?
A:I would say the first time I completed my Daily Orders haha. I didn't do much really but I felt like I had won the Battle.

Q:What are your future goals?
A:My future goals would be to create a paper and maybe run for congress once I get a grasp on things. Yet my main focus will always remain on military aspects of the game so i guess to become commander of my military unit also would be a goal.

Q:What do you want to go into (business, politics, media, warfare, or entertainer)?
A:Well in my last answer i listed three aspects (politics, media, and warfare). Maybe that is ambiguous but that would be my newness kicking in again. If i had to choose one I would say warfare for sure. None of the others can exist with out it.

Q:How active are you?
A:I get on everyday and work/train on my land, and I try to at least complete my daily orders. Also I surf through some papers trying to learn as much as I can about how the game works.

Q😃o you feel the new citizen message helped you a lot?
A:I honestly don't remember what that was haha. So no.

Q:Anything you'd like to add that I may have left out? Is there anything you'd like to say to the readers of this newspaper or myself?
A:Anytime you think you can help a newb, do it. You help the game and your eCountry grow. Also thanks for the interview and the help Kooguy.

How did you find this game?

Well, I've heard of the game before but never played until I saw a player's advertisement for it in the comment section on a popular gaming website. Honestly, I probably wouldn't have signed up if it wasn't for the fact that I was on vacation. I'm so glad I did.

Who would you say has helped you the most?

I would definitely have to say my Revolutionary brothers and sisters. While I do consider myself to be a fast learner, there are some aspects of this game that I would have not understood had it not been for you, Kooguy, and the other Revolutionary party members like Cody Caine and Lancer450. I also have to give a shout out to Jude Conners and Rainy Sunday for their support and efforts to get my paper going.

What aspects of eRepublik do you like?

Honestly, I love how surreal this game is. Nobody's can become somebody's and everything in-between. I also love the sense of community within the game. While it can't be said of all players, I've observed that most players exemplify their best humanly virtues when working with other players. I like that.

What aspects of eRepublik don't you like?

How expensive gold is...but I suppose there would be no challenge to this game if everyone could just buy gold. And I wish we could trade bazooka parts, I have ten of each flipping part and no scopes!

What would you say is your most proud moment so far?

My proudest moment? here have been a lot actually. I've always been taught in RL to take pride in everything I do or its not worth doing, so a lot of my accomplishments have given me feelings of pride. My proudest moment however would probably have to be my fourth newspaper posting that received over 50 votes in just 24 hours.

What are your future goals?

Short term I'd like to concentrate on my paper and possibly run for congress in the upcoming months. Even if I have no shot of winning, I would just like to gain the experience and learn the how-to's of campaigning. Long term, i would like to work with the Revolutionary Party and watch them grow into a top 5 party.

What do you want to go into (business, politics, media, warfare, or entertainer)?

I'd almost like to blend the first three together: Business, politics, and media. While I may not always be active in politics due to my RL work/school, I may become active in my vacation months over the summer. I'd like to mainly concentrate on media though, as I have blogged before and have a passion for that sort of thing.

Some Thoughts
If you remember, I did another version of this article before. It was a failure, all three newbs I got didn't give me solid answers, although the troll was funny. Because of that failure, these were new players that I already know so that I won't be disappointed.

I'm a big fan of helping new players. The first day or two is extremely confusing. I always tell them that for now their basic things to do for the day are work train and fight. If they want to do extra they can make a newspaper, join a party, or get involved in other ways.
