Hello,
I am eIrelands oldest active citizen. I have been playing since day 28, meaning this December, I would of played for 7 years. I have been president multiple times, have one of the highest hard worker medal counts in the game.
During my years I have seen many things, from changes to the game, to people coming and going. I have seen much drama in my time, and also some strange people over the years!
I quite often get messages, asking me things about my time in this game. So, I have decided to do an AMA, So feel free to ask me anything!

You're too old granpa 😛
😞 tis true
Your most admired player? Most despised player?
I cant say there is really anyone I've despised over the years, sure there have been a few that have bugged me, but nobody really I have despised.
As for those I admire, there is a lot of people I admire, and the list would be pretty huge! Tho I have to put a shout out to ian Arbuckle here or he will kill me, or worse 😮
Indeed I would 😛

Free is always good I guess 😛
Surely you're entitled to free travel at this stage?
Possibly free bus fare

o7 to grandpa, no matter who he is.
What is the biggest change you have seen in the game?
Well, probably the changes to the war module, it has changed many times, personally I don't think for the better, I much preferred the grid version as it was way more fun.
At least for Ireland I thought the grid system improved activity. We had large (for Ireland) numbers of people showing up for the battles. Organized through IRC it was fun.

Any question at all? How do you get your hair looking so smooth?
Its all natural
There was an old rumour about an early game banking crisis that you baled the state out of by taking a large position in iep. Which after the currency situation stabilized made you a very large return on the bailout.
What's the grain of truth in that story?
There has been several times, certainly in the early game where citizens, including myself bailed eIreland out of some pretty harsh times. Quite often in beta there was a lot of 'ideas' on economy fixes, and yep some of us made some pretty nice IEP out of that. There was a time in beta when we removed a Zero from everything, this ment that basically food went from say 30IEP, and over night became 3IEP. This is something almost every business did, worked very well, I think this is probably the biggest thing to benefit me.
I too miss the old currency markets ;_;
Ugh, it's more true than you can possibly imagine... It's one of the reasons I always pushed for the State to have fixed assets of its own...
What would you bring back to Ireland now to make it better?
Other than bringing back a lot of the old people who quit, there isn't much that can be done from a non game mechanic perspective. Game mechanics wise... Economy, sheezus does this game need the economy module fixed!
Favorite time in the game? Does it ever bother you the anti English setement in Ireland?
Glad your back playing.
To me, the game has always been a game, you pick a country, you play with that country, it shouldn't matter where your from in real life. To an extent I would of preferred if the players could name each country and basically take over boarders etc, world takeover module?
The problem is however, there are some who cannot disconnect real life with game, and this happens in a lot of countries in the game, which is a shame.
I can understand a certain dislike for eUK, simply because in the past we have had to put up with some crap from them, tho at the same time they have had to put up with us also, eg hey lets take northern Ireland.
Personally, I kinda hope that people learn, this is a game, you can be anyone you want, and anywhere you want.
Are you wearing pants?
Never whilst playing eRep... It was established long ago, eIreland is a place of no pants!
Nith decreed during his Presidency that pants were illegal during play, and were treason during war.
voted o7
What do you feel was the highlight of eIreland's history?
Well... we are still here, so that's a pretty big highlight!
Yeah! 😃 Ireland's Fossil resources are saying hello. 😛
What other country would you like to play in? Or what countries do you find most interesting currently
What's an AMA?
A Q&A "Ask Me Anything"
Your favourite moment in eIreland?
I think some of the fights back with the old war module, was some seriously fun co-ordination back then that doesn't really exist these days.
Ye it was like playing an entirely different game
Are your teeth your natural real teeth??
Yes
What's your view on the group called BAPS (Johnthemany, Inquistus, ImaNewbie etc..)? they established quite a successful business and political position in beta.
