[MoFA] Interview with Justino Figueiredo - made by Gameiro101

Day 1,753, 15:05 • Published in Norway Portugal

• by dixib

It is my honor to represent to you interview made by Gameiro101, old Norwegian ambassador - one of the best we ever had, who interviewed Justino Figueiredo one of the great Portuguese players.

1- Tell us about your first experience in the government?
Now on to your first question: It was during November, 2011. Lucifel, the Portuguese Country President during that month, asked me if I wanted to join the government as deputy MoFA. Since I had been wanting to help my country for quite some time back then, I accepted his offer right away. I had no experience whatsoever, so I decided to learn from everyone, which ended up being a great help. It was a great, fun month as we ended up being attacked by Spain, which made my work fast-paced and intense. I met a lot of good people and made a lot of good friends to whom I still talk this day.

2- What was your best and worst moments as Portugal CP?
The best moment was probably the campaign Portugal shared with China against Spain. That war was simply amazing (right, Atracurium?) since Portugal accomplished something that they had never accomplished before. We showed the World that we are not that “weak” and “useless” as many of them consider us to be.
The worst moment would probably be when Portugal lost a battle the way we did. Many players know what I am talking about.

3- After working in the government, 5 times CP where will you get the motivation to be SC of EDEN?
I am EDEN at heart. I love EDEN and all my brothers and I will do everything I can for them. I want to make us strong and perfectly united again. No, we are not perfect and yes, we have issues. Does that mean I am going to sit back and let it all be? Does that mean I am going to give up? Not a chance. EDEN is and always will be a Brotherhood and I will act everyday upon this premise. In fact, I do not care about being the “best SC EDEN ever had”. And why? It is quite simple, actually. This would be focusing on personal goals instead of Alliance goals, which would be just plain wrong. I am not here for my own personal glory, I am here for the glory of EDEN as a whole. I want EDEN and all its country members to be the best they can be while I am SC. I want every EDEN country member to act together and as one, to be ready to fight and give everything for their brothers, to sacrifice themselves if needed. Because EDEN is not about regions or bonuses, nor it should be. EDEN is about sticking to the guys at your right and at your left. EDEN is about staying together, no matter what. It is about faith and believing in what we represent.
Does that answer your question?

4- Norway is still in EDEN but they are thinking in moving to Asgard (Nordic alliance), has SC of EDEN, what do you think will be the relations between the two alliances?
Let me be perfectly honest with you, I would not want to see Norway leave. But if she wishes to do so, I will understand and respect it. However, this does not mean that we will not want to be friends with Norway anymore, since you have always been a great friend and an amazing ally. I see a lot of the EDEN spirit up in the North as there are many of our founding members there, so I really wish to develop and strengthen the bond and friendship between both Alliances. Let me say this as well, Asgard is an amazing idea and it will benefit all its countries.

5- After EDEN kick Bulgaria out of South America with epic battles, where do you think we gonna see the next big conflict?
I guess we will have to wait and see, will we not?

6- With all the changes we be seeing in the last month do you think the admins are taking the game to a better place or the a bad future?
In my opinion, there is still a lot of work to be done. Truthfully, I hope that the administrators will listen to the players more often as there would be no eRepublik without them.

7- What was the best memory you keep from erepublik?
I think that such memory is yet to come.

8- Final question what is your opinion about the Norwegians players?
Norway has great diplomats and great warriors. Your spirit is strong and your heart is in the right place. All the Norwegian players stand for what they believe in and you defend your country and your allies with all you have.
