Early Days
1. So John how did you find erepublik

I found Erepublik when looking through a game called tribal wars and i got attracted to it straight away. I later found out a mate of mine was playing for months and never told me.

2. Where were you born

Since i live in Northern Ireland in RL, i lived in Northern Ireland in ER. But i only played for a few days when i had to stop cause of my tests and i lost interest, as their is no help in the UK at the time and came back in August


3. Who were the first people you met

Some of the first people i meet was Sara Droz, she was a friend of a friend of mine who has been playing the games for ages but never talked about it. then the Austrian Minster of Immigration at the time. i can't remember her name as she left the game months ago.


4. Did they help you in anyway

Sara answered all my questions and the Austrian Minster of Immigration helped me get a new start in Austria. but their was no MONC in the UK when i joined so i felt left alone.

5. During your noob days what was your favourite part of the game

Most likely the whole war world 3 in full swing when i came back, USA coming down, Canada gone and Spain gone. I could not wait till i could fight and the first battle i got place in was the lith .V. Latvia games in Styria in Austria and then the 1st battle of California.

6. What was the first party you joined and why

It was the Austrian Independence Party. The former President of Austria Rangeley Party. As i hated PEACE and it wanted to bring down PEACE. I moved from Austria to USA and then to Ireland, when i said i hated PEACE and got a lot of people telling me to get out of the country.

7. Why did you start the newspaper The Earth Times

As i worked for this Hungarian guy who newspaper was all about what was happening all over the world. Then when i hit level 8, i reported on the World events, i think my first article was the Romanian Peace treaty with Ukraine#

Austria

1. Why did you move to Austria


I moved to Austria because the UK was a S*** hole, the economy was in pieces, very bad wages and they were losing Canada quicker then you could count. I seen a Ad for Austria and I clicked on it and I got a moving ticket and I was told it was where I could start a new life, so I moved.

2. What was it like living there

It was good at first, the Health Dept got my health from 5 to 40 and a moving ticket to get to Styria to fight, we were the like the film 300 and it was fun with the people. Until I said I hated PEACE

3. Did you ever think you would leave Austria


At the start no, I planed to stay a long time, run for Congress etc and settle down, but I was aching to help the USA who were coming back on their feet after the deal with Portugal, so I moved to the Fortress state of Florida.

PEACE

1. You say you hated PEACE why was that

I hated PEACE as they were taking over USA and Canada for no reason and I never liked Indo when I learned what they done to Australia, so I took a hating to PEACE and now to Phoenix. And to Romania

2. How did your fellow Austrians react when you said you hated PEACE

Most of them were not happy, and told me to get out of Austria and that Austria is a founding member. But Rangeley was very kind to me during that period.

3. Do you think PEACE helped the world in ANY way

Maybe, they give the people some fun, Fighting against ATLANITS and then Eden. Which Ireland lacks, as we only take part in TW. But other then that, no

4. Is EDEN going to turn into the next PEACE???


Maybe. The future can’t be told, but currently Eden is fighting for the freedom of Nations and to kick some Phoenix, but I don’t think Eden will go attacking countries for no reason like what Indo done.

Ireland
1. You say your from NI in RL how come you moved to Austria and not Ireland

As my mate told me it has a crap econmany, (he was always looking me to go to Spain), I also wanted to visit countries I have never been in RL. When I came back online, Ireland was impeaching their President.

2. When you did arrive in Ireland how did you like it


Yeah, that is why I am still here today, it had a lovely bunch of people, and OJ was very kind to me giving me my first job here, later I joined eIRP when I get Citizenship from Darragh.

3. Did you get involved in Irish politics striaght away

Yes, only a few days after I came i was in the eIRP, the next TD election (Sept 25th) I moved to Independents for a few days and won by Default in Northwest. I was posting a lot on the forums. After the eIRP fell, I joined IFP where I am Party President today.

4. Who were your first Irish friends


My first Irish friends were OJ, Edana, Kol and Patton, they were very kind to me, and helped me get into Irish life and Darragh give me Citizenship after a few questions.

5. What was the most interesting thing in Ireland when you arrived

The most interesting thing must have been what was happening across the pond. With the USA failing to take Cal back in the 1st battle and Russia and indo doing blocking attacks. It was fun times then

6. Why did you run for President


I ran for Irish President, as I wanted to change Ireland, make it more efficient, for people to have more fun and If I could try and get us into a proper war. I also wanted to get the econmany up, so we could have more gold

7. Do you think you could of changed ireland if you had been elected

Maybe, I would have tried at least; It would have been very hard to keep up after Patton’s terms. I would have had the articles a lot more then what Apple did.

8. What have you learned being a congressman

That it takes a lot of work to get everyone happy and how people can be annoying in Politics, but I also learned how great minds we have in Ireland, from Darragh with FA and Dubhs with MoF and Donut with MOC and Patton and DT with Military, and Edana with her noobs.

9. Do you belive Ireland should change in any way

Yes we should be in a proper war through MPPs at least, as with the training wars people are just 2 clicking more and we are getting behind other countries, if we do lose regions we are small so RWs would be hell for the country who takes us. But the person has more fun, as we are a fighting race not a sit back and watch race.

10. Why are you so Pro EDEN

As I believe Eden is right. For standing up to PEACE when facing invasion and won, Eden is nicer then PEACE and Phoenix, Eden stands for small nations and does not take them over just because the feel like it, and I will always fight till Ireland is in Eden and out of its 2 clicking stage.
