Interview with petros

1. Trendo: Please introduce yourself to the readers.
    Petros: Hello everyone, my name is Petros and im 22 years old. I was invited to the game by Kaveh the February when the game was still under the alpha3 stage. I played Alpha4,5 and Beta and I decided with my friends to establish a Military Unit based in United States. I am leading the branch of America together with Thracius and my brothers, batu  and kojiro is leading the Turkish branch.
 
2. Trendo: Who is petros outside the game?
    Petros: About me, I am finishing pharmacist school this year and as hobby I play basketball with my friends. I like to watch football and basketball and im cheering for PAO to get the 8th European Championship this year.
   Trendo: Hail paok ^_^
   Petros: Ahahahha. Not surprised at all you support the ‘Bulgarian’ team.

3. Trendo: How does it feel to have the most voted article in the game, and would you use your zerg voters for philanthropic acts such as voting my articles as well or keep them all to yourself?
    Petros: Don’t worry, my bot-voting army will support this interview, hahahaha.
About the article, I felt the urge to publicly expose cheaters. The American community suffered much by Lithuanian bots in the start of the game and other Swedish-cs multis that helped Bulgaria in battle.
Its also very sad to see some people to engourage multimaking. I saw a lot of negative comments In my article and I really don’t get what’s wrong with these people.
S/O to Admin team for their effort to eliminate the multimakers, but the harm has been done. Lets have faith that this will not happen again.
   Trendo: We reported some SA bots that opened a company here and had Swedish workers.
   Petros: Sweden cs? Cimi needs a ticket allez-retour to Stockholm to do some investigation over there.

4. Trendo: First Portugal left, now Turkiye left your alliance block. People that you have said to be your friends. Do you consider this to be a kind of a defeat? USA is surrounded by dead countries but an air strike is a possibility that cannot be excluded. Is USA feeling shaken but not stirred?
    Petros: You know I take no defeats. Turkey stands still with the States no matter what, and vice versa for our Turkish brothers. In the end we are the same Unit.
About Portugal, I understood their situation, but we have pretty decent relation. I have daily communication with Calheta and he knows the State’s doors are always open for him. If you have not noticed, he wears the avatar of our Unit. So, you can see how close he is with us.
The United States stay still. We are not going to give up on anything. We are winning the fronts currently and I don’t see pressure on us at all.
   Trendo: Indeed but Calheta has distanced himself from politics in an interview we did in this office. Do you have communication with other Portuguese players that are currently in office?
   Petros: No, no, just my friend Calheta.

5. Trendo: Do you think something should be changed in the game?
    Petros: I have a lot of suggestions in Eclesiar server. And all of them worth to taka a look. It’s sad that admin team is very small and we get small progression but we have to encourage them.
The only 3 things that I shout for rework is the:
A.    minimized gold flow: Piggy bank enforce us to play for BH’s and makes the game extremely p2w. You don’t see it now but in some months you will see the gap of a piggy-banker and a simple f2p player. Also Fighting in battles except BH’s makes no sense for the game. You win or lose the company stays untouched. Why to fight? We can farm 247.
B.    As previously said: Fighting in battles is not profitable. A lot of players wont even care for the war since it does not affect the economically. Why to fight? Bybatu has a suggestion that find a solution for this: https://discord.com/channels/1153054452178235462/1296824902346739712/1296824902346739712
C.    Production issue: Game forces us to play in commune. Being slave of the country is not the way we want to play. We want a free market, not depending on anyone. Also, I underline that many countries have MULTIS that work for them. All reports have been sent to cimi but it’s unfortunate that you cannot ban without proof.
I underline these 3 issues that should be taken into consideration ASAP. If not, the game has an unknown future.
   Trendo: Bob the builder also gives gold into piggy bank. Piggy players indeed get 150% more gold from medals so they would hit some power ups earlier but with pollution personally im not sure how the late game would be like. I would have to disagree about no point in fighting, people need to keep fighting so that countries can conquer more regions so they can build more infrastructure.
   Petros: You can build factories in other countries. You can make trade deals to have tax back. There are loopholes everywhere about it. If you see the United States has relatively low taxes. American is not a market that wants to squeeze the simple citizen.

6. Trendo: Are you gonna follow Trump`s Doctrine to re-instigate the petrodollar world wide or do some birds never learn how to fly? The eagle has few unfruitful airstrikes while some whistleblowers on WikiLeaks already posted a petrodollar in the making.
    Petros: Damn, someone infiltrated the Ministry!
I officially announce the retirement of United States Dollar (USD) from the market. The only legal tender for transactions in the United States will be the American PetroDollar (APD) from now and on.

7. Trendo: How much time do you spend on the game?
    Petros: I can’t be sure. I would say on average a 3h. Some days more, some days less… United States is a big country and management takes much time.

8. Trendo: Do you consider yourself to be steady as a rock, as your name suggests? Should we consider "el innovador" as your alternate name, or as a title? How did you come up with them?
    Petros: I don’t know if I am steady and strong as a rock but exting calls me ego-player for some decisions I take. This means im stubborn and I want to do stuff with my own way.
El innovador, I was nicknamed after that by Thracius. In Edominations spain, when I was the President in my first term, the January of 2019, I asked the congress to resign, in order to do fast laws. Many saw it as dictatorship, but it was an innovative idea. From then and on, I am “the innovator”.

9. Trendo: If you have watched Game of Thrones, you remind me of Petyr Baelish, do you agree?
    Petros: Strategic thinker, and ability to manipulate situations to his advantage. Could be me, If you say so.

10. Trendo: What is the most fun thing you did in the game? And/or most fond memory.
    Petros: Including Alpha/Beta stages, I would say wiping Demeter was the best. Ngl, daily woofstark crying dose was the best prize.
   Trendo: Finally somebody calls out the Demeter wipe xd i think its on the mind of few people out there xd
    Petros: On mind of few, in the heart of fewer.

11. Trendo: What is your zodiac sign?
    Petros: I’m Scropio. What’s with this question? You will match us in the end? :D
   Trendo: Its a simple and easy question that should reveal a lot of somebody`s personality, provided that you believe in the pseudo-science of astrology.
   Petros: Hahaha yes… I think the stars don’t make your personality. You craft it yourself, with your experiences and the surroundings.

12. Trendo: Do you have something to say to our readers?
      Petros: Yea. Play fair and don’t make multis. Also sell your products in American market.
God Bless America, and America blesses you.
Special Thanks to the people that support my will and ideas inside the States. Shout out to Thracius, Noseq, Imperator (the one Serbian and only), Kostas, Marina, L0LA and finally Exting.
