Greetings eWorld, in today's edition enjoy the interviews with Cyprus,
Romania and Greece!!


President of eCyprus, Mithrantir

1. (Optional) Describe yourself to the audience, who are you, what do you do, why did you run for CP etc.
-Well in RL my name is Stavros. I am not an old fag like the rest of the CPs that answered your questions 😃 I run for CP because I felt I had some more time this month to get involved.

2. It is not uncommon for Cyprus to take part in big wars, but it seems so unfitting for such a small country. What is your secret?
-Hahahahahaha we are simply crazy 😃 But on a serious note... I have some amazing and active players around me in Cyprus that know how to play. With their help we manage to do what we do 🙂

3. You Airstrike on Romania was successful, but short. Why so? Was it so your intention or you didn't get the necessary help from your allies?
-Every move we make is calculated and discussed. Now I can't say more and you know it but it was never our intention to stay there.

4. As a result of that, you are now awaiting 3 attacks from France, Slovenia and Poland. What is your plan here?
-I think you know 🙂 we only TATATATATATATATA. Well as of now the polish attack is of no concern. As for the other two only time will tell what we are planning to do.

5. Do you think Asteria responded properly to Romania's situation, or do you expect more?
-I can't say they did not respond... but on the other side If I was the representative of some Asterian countries I would have some complains to make.

6. Does eRepublik need a proper second alliance to go on par with Asteria?
-This is the question everyone is asking. I can say and yes and no. Right now there is an alliance but not under one name. What future will bring I personally don't know 🙂
7. How do you see this latest World War and what do you think caused it? Can you predict the outcome of it?
-Well it is definitely interesting to have some real wars that may last long. What caused it obviously the attack of Asteria to Chile. How it will end nobody knows. SO let's just enjoy it 🙂
As you can see I am keeping a positive note with no complains 🙂

Minister of Defense of eRomania, Naufragiatu

1. (Optional) Describe yourself to the audience, who are you, what do you do, why did you run for CP etc.
-I actually am the MoD, but it's more of a position on paper, as we have a team that works together towards the benefit of eRO and its friends. About me specifically, I've been playing this game for far too long, albeit with some long absences, last break ended December 2017.

2. Romania has been relatively at peace for quite some time now (too long for some people), clearly it fit you good. Yesterday Romania managed to do a whopping 3.5 trillion damage IN ONE DAY. What is the key to your unity, organization and selfless tanking for your homeland?
Relatively at peace? Haha, aI guess you're joking, right? We've been at war for pretty much the whole 2018. Keeping Greece erased for more than half of year despite some attempts to NAP, half of Hungary occupied for 3-4 months simultaneously with GR; chasing hostile countries in Asia, Europe and US in the last third of the year whenever our friends needed it; fighting simultaneously USA, Cro, GR in US/can area a couple of months ago; started this year with a war vs Chile alongside our friends as pay back for all the headaches they've provided in our efforts to liberate our friends by using the NAP they had.

About the damage, yeah, I was looking at it and I could not believe it, I think that's an absolute record so far. I remember I was also checking some other stats and the site couldn't simply do the math.

Key? I guess we're doing our best to provide fun for our community by not drowning in TWs and avoiding real wars. Don't get me wrong, TWs are great for gathering resources, but too many TWs and no real war make a country a poor fighter, despite added brute force.

3. Despite the tremendous damage, Romania was/is going to be attacked by 9 countries (world record so far I believe), and lost most of the campaigns. You focused on Chile, which you won, and Greece which you lost. Can you explain to the audience your choice of tactics, or what went wrong?
-We focused on what was important from a strategic point of view. Let's say we would have won 5 campaigns with no real importance (importance for us, as I am sure our opponents were very happy to win battles against adminlandia), what then? Our friends would not have enough targets for a counter-attack.

Yes, we went simultaneously for Chile (our objective) and Greece (nice to have). It was challenging, fun and kept us on our toes, running from one epic to another. All was going in our favor, even if on the edge so I would say the turning point was Chile R4 which we barely lost, but lost in the end. Here we could feel a drop in motivation on our side and increase on our opponents' so we decided to only go for our primary objective.

4. During this time, did all of your allies meet your expectations, or we are yet to see the full potential of Asteria striking back?
-Oh yes, our friends and allies were awesome, both in air and ground despite not benefiting from legend bonus. They've been pouring all they could and it all resulted in an awesome day of fighting. By now, Asteria&friends have started a counter-counter-attack which is largely going well and still with a few cards to be shown so I expect much more fun incoming for everybody.

5. How do you see this latest World War and what do you think caused it? Can you predict the outcome of it?
- It was about time for more countries to take their heads out of the sand and use the fight button for something else than easy BHs, it was about time for this gangbang, we've been threatened with it for more than a year now and I really hope everyone is having fun with it while keeping their heads cool.

I am confident we'll win, even if it takes a bit more time as long as we keep our course. We have the resilience, we have the ambition, we have the ability to sacrifice temporarily comfort for the bigger picture - simply put both brain and brawn for it.

6. Does eRepublik need a proper second alliance to go on par with Asteria?
-Sure, why not. As long as it's not an alliance on paper or just to be used for one single country's benefit.


P.S.: find it funny others feel being attacked by 3 countries is "unfair" or "disrespectful", whereas the reply was 3 times higher than that. With this, we'd like to show our appreciation for all the love shown by our friends and foes alike. We'll be sure to reply in kind.

President of eGreece, Zeus Christou

1. (Optional) Describe yourself to the audience, who are you, what do you do, why did you run for CP etc.
- I am an old player that likes the social and organizing part of the game much more than the rest of it! I am Panos and it is the first time I ever run for the presidency, cause I felt that I can unite our people, try to organize simple and easy to function things and help in some old lasting internal problems.

2. After losing most of your colonies due to your last failed Airstrike on Macedonia in India, Greece was relatively at peace, playing host to several countries in your territories for Training Wars. Yet, there is one country that only acts as a barrier with Macedonia, and that is Turkey. Why did you opt for this decision?
-Lately the game is more or less an everlasting farming, with small periods of wars. Regions change hands all the time and so Turkey is not a barrier as long as FYROM has TW with Bulgaria. Turkey is one of our most trusting and cooperating allies and being there we both benefit better bonuses for some of our players. We had a more extended plan in our mind but the world war caught all of us in the middle of it!


3. In a hell of a campaign, Greece managed to claim victory in your latest Airstrike on Romania. What do you think is the key to your victory?
-It was well organized plan, our tanks were well prepared and our allies assisted a lot!

4. You had a choice of 3 Asterian countries to attack, and you, like 8 others opted for attacking Romania. Does this have anything to do with them wiping you for a long time, some bad blood maybe?
- It was the logical decision, as the only rule that never fails is that ''United we can do anything''.

5. How do you see this latest World War and what do you think caused it? Can you predict the outcome of it?
-The general plan of attacks from Asteria countries to America regions and the mass attack against Chile caused the reaction of all of us. It was like a call to be united against Asteria and so we responded to this challenge. At the same time most strong countries in the game were full of damage and so the World War became a reality! I think it is too early for anyone to predict the end or the outcome of it.

6. Does eRepublik need a proper second alliance to go on par with Asteria?
-eRepublik needs desperate a couple of changes in order to keep the interest of old players high and also be able to attract new players that will stay and play. My opinion is that Asteria lasted too long and it is an old giant that has nothing more to do in the game than just die. If nothing will change in the gameplay, the only thing that can keep us here is to see things that have not happened so far, like new partnerships between countries etc.
Best wishes
Zeus

I wish to thank the Presidents for taking their time to respond, and to the ones that still haven't, do it! Interviews will be published in combos like this one as soon as I receive the answers.
