Interview with Gytka

1. Trendo: Please introduce yourself to the readers.
   Gytka: Hello, currently I'm vCP of Lithuania, my playstyle is only focused on the team, cuz it's too easy to play solo. I'm a kind player with a goal to build best environment for future baby Lithuanian generations. My background is esim (same as most of Lith, this is why we are able to beat others without any efforts).
 
2. Trendo: Who is Gytka outside the game?
    Gytka: Nothing extraordinary, for now I'm kind and let others have their moments. But I'm at peak 26 years age and I live in best city in the world - Kaunas. We have most beautiful woman, life is good and pretty balanced for me. Lots of work, lots of eclesiar, some gym, some girls, some parties, some hunting. On free time I hunt eagles and rats.
    Trendo: Cool
 
3. Trendo: Why did Lithuania get nuked? Was this a surprise attack?
    Gytka: They all are afraid of superior Lithuanian kindness. They don't want us to defend small communities from oppresion. Let's talk about all 3 nukes separately :)

Portugal - first nuke on Lithuania, it surprised me the most, and not because it was dropped by Portugal, who claim to be neutral, and against whom Lithuania never showed any agression. What suprised me the most was Dr. Dungeon blatant lies, trying to deny the truth,, saying that if he was responsible for nuke, he would admit it like he admited dropping nuke on Sweden, blah blah blah. Trying to pretend to be honest person. When in reality he didn't know that it was possible to see which country dropped nuke. I held him to higher standarts really. To me Portugal looks like a fake neutral, don't want to get their hands dirty, while others are at wars, Portugal just gets richer, but we saw now that they are another USA puppets.
 
USA - no suprise to me at all. Me, you and Petros himself knows that Lithuania is superior to USA, he's like that weak little bro who acts strong when he's behind big bro. In this case Portugal is highest nuclear power, so he found it as a good opportunity to break global nap and prevent Lithuania rescuing his destroyed communities. They have PTSD of Lithuania having superior economy, superior fighters and almost wiping USA on Beta server, where we had way less people and all of us played first time, completely out of instinct. They are afraid of our potential and want to use every opportunity possible, putting their reputation at risk To sum it up - USA did this out of fear.
 
Iran - I was surprised. Out of all ex-BoT alliance I held most respect to Shayan. He looked the most reasonable one, it looked that he cares about the communities and overall game future. But damn I was wrong.
 
Any deals made with these 3 countries has no value from now on.
   Trendo: Do you expect Portugal to enter the G3?
   Gytka:  I expect G3 to become G20.  
   Trendo: Explain why Global NAP is broken, isnt it clearly defined which game mechanics are forbidden, and nuking not among them, during NAP?
   Gytka: We are all grown man, all have experience. It is a joke to me that things like this needs explanation. But it's a lesson to us that 1. It's not worth making naps with them anymore. 2. If we make NAP we write a 10000 word article with every possible game mechanic, so even 5 yr olds could understand. No honor basically.
   Trendo: Didnt Iran announce their nuke in advance?
   Gytka: They did announce it to Lith after launching. But even if they announced prior to launch, what would it change?

4.  Trendo: Its evident that Lithuania has plenty of official enemies now. Besides Macedonia and Bulgaria as official allies, does Lithuania count on other countries for help in any possible near event of militaristic conflict.
    Gytka: Yes, everyone is afraid of Lithuanian kindness, most of the leaders are greedy and want to take everything for themselves, they want to dominate the game by numbers and exploiting. Lithuania and me should take blame for "losing" World War 1. It would be a sinful to say that Lithuania tried to win it at all. Our goal was to activate the game as much as possible, that's why we initiated the world war in the first place. Firstly - we raise the activity for the game. Secondly - we give enemies dopamine to motivate them to continue playing. But now things will change, it becomes our duty to fix this and to punish weak leaders for disrespecting our kindness and seeing it as weakness.
Same we did with Slovenia post WW1, we gave them reason to start playing seriously, even they were surprised of their unleashed potential, after that we gave them NAP without hurting their community.
 
5. Trendo: Do you think something should be changed in the game?
    Gytka: I am proud to witness the birth of the greatest game ever made and take part of shaping this community. Eclesiar is great. What could be changed? There are things, but I trust the owner and developers. Only thing that should be accounted in the future is that we should receive information about upcoming updates a bit earlier, to express our concerns. The egos should be lowered by both the community base and owner. We all want this game to succeed, but sometimes we don't communicate well enough. For example there was a big chaos regarding buildings update, but the next day after everyone calmed down, the solution was discussed and owner fixed it quick and well. I'm glad this is my biggest concern because it sounds like the easiest thing to manage :)

Latvia should be added into the game 100%.
When nuke is dropped, it should be clear who launched it for everyone, even low skilled players.
Nuke should be dropped only after declaring war, just like invasions. Right now it makes no sense. You can drop nuke on somebody and not feel any threat to be attacked.
We should be able to donate resources directly into Military Unit or Country storage. Right know there's too much unnecesary clicks and time wasted.
Filtering on a lot of things.
Equipment set stats on player's profile.
Public visibility where the particular player is working.
Ranking seen on player's profile.
   Trendo: I kinda agree with nukes locked behind DoW, but arent they usually meant to be a preemptive strike?
    Gytka: We shouldn't compare Eclesiar nukes with real world nukes ? These warmongers won't stop launching this deadly weapon!
 
6. Trendo: Where as one side used to accuse Iran of mutlties to the point that even Irani CP started publicly admitting it as a joke, the other side rumors Lithuania as the no. 1 source of multies. Are you afraid of a Lithuanian ban wave?
    Gytka: I can't be afraid of something I'm not associated with. There was some pathethic level of multiying for Lithuania, almost as if enemies or low skill multimaker like Puolejas created them. There was no use for Lithuania out of those multies it was only harm.
Also we received some bans for real people - who got unbanned after opening tickets.
Concerning thing to me is that staff seem to gamble on Lithuanians (dont know about other countries, maybe its common thing). We have plenty of cases of staff banning new Lith accounts just because they are Lithuanians. It gets incredibly difficult to persuade a new player who got banned to join Eclesiar discord, to open a ticket. It's common thing that they respond with "F this game, its not worth it". But if this is my biggest conern, then again - I trust the staff to moderate the game well. If they ban real players I wonder what they do with multies???
   Trendo: Segedis didnt want to come to discord to claim different identity from Begedis?
   Gytka: Ye it's crazy tactic to create multi with such similar name. Noone suspects it ?

7. Trendo: How much time do you spend on the game?
    Gytka: Biggest portion of my free time. That's too much for sure :D
 
8. Trendo: How did you come up with your name and whats with the obsession with cats?
    Gytka: Cats fits us well because, we have a lot in common.
Same as cats - we like to destroy rats.
Same as cats - we play with our prey. Example WW1 - we let enemy to think they won, just to have more fun and destroy them later.
Same as cats - we have superior mindest
 
9. Trendo: If you have watched Game of Thrones, you remind me of The Night King, do you agree?
    Gytka: Sadly I didn't watch GoT yet, I always planned to do it while being sick and away from work. But I have superior immunity :( While description of this character seemed cool and we want to go by TV-series characters - I consider myself close to Berlin from Money Heist :D
 
10. Trendo: What is the most fun thing you did in the game? And/or most fond memory.
     Gytka: Occupying Washington in Beta server, against all odds. It was peak Lithuanian killer instinct. None of us knew the game even for a little bit, yet we managed to crush those edom players. Different levels really.
     Trendo: Did you have a similar operation at start of official release?
     Gytka: No. Beating USA was not our priority for launch. We don't like beating same enemy again. We usually want to compare D with fresh enemy. For WW1 we planned to be neutral, but 4 countries jumped to hit against Lithuania since day 3, so we had no option but to create anti OP alliance. And now again, we will have to beat USA because they are a menace to society. They need to be stopped!

11. Trendo: What is your zodiac sign?
    Gytka: Cat.
 
12. Trendo: Do you have something to say to our readers?
     Gytka: Let's grow together as a community. Don't watch only after yourself - don't forget that the game is very fresh and it's our duty to take part into building better future and giving chance for all communities.
