Interview JustitiarulRoman

Interview JustitiarulRoman

- Tell us something about yourself
First of al, hello and thank you for this interview; it was something unexpected, as I don't like to show-off so I never thought that anyone will ever consider to interview me :D. I'm just an anonymous player since I prefer to stay outside the scene and play from the shadows :wink: along with my in game friends and allies. I was inactive for almost 1 year, due to some decisions of the old admin; but thanks to my friends from the Romanian community, I come back to life once again.

- Who is JustitiarulRoman in RL?
My RL name is Alexandru, I'm a Romanian native, currently living in Middle East. I'm close to 40's milestone this year and I hope to count alt least double of that :joy: :joy: :joy: I consider myself as a lucky guy, with a lot of good experiences in life, and a lot of other experiences from which I've learn something. I like justice and fairness among people both in RL and in game and this is the reason why I chose this nickname.

- Why did you choose this nick?
My nick is actually representing one of my believes: I believe in Justice among other, and JustitiarulRoman can be literally translated as a person who bring Justice or something like that. Apart of promoting justice, I like nature with all it can offer: fresh air, breath-taking landscapes; running out of cities whenever I can, it's my way to escape from the daily routine and crowded cities.

- What is most fun thing you did in edomi?
The funniest thing I've done in eDom? hmmmm... I guess it's preparing OH's along with my gov and allies; not so many opportunities this days though.

- What aspect of game you like the most and why?
I like the battle/contest part of the game, but in a slightly different way that it's eDom wright now. At the moment, I consider that the game is broken: partially because of the fact that several players can (still) fight unlimited dmg/hits and partially because many good players went in 2-click mode or even worse, went inactive for one reason or another.

- You are Country president of Romania. How is community there and what are specific about that community in your experience?
Romanian community is suffering at the moment, as many players are in 2-click mode or inactive, despite the fact that over the time, we tried different ways to involve them more in the game. We are just  few very active players, most of them part of the government along with several more not so active players. In spite the fact that we are low in numbers, we are still strong enough to hold our ground and defend our lands and interests as most of the players like to fight for TP medals rather than for TA/TR ones. I remember the last big war involving Romania: it was last year or so when China with the help of most of ATLAS countries were at our borders, but somehow, we managed to hold the grounds and avoid being deleted. Those kind of breath taking moments is what I love the most here, but there are rare gems :smile:

- In this reshuffle you came as one of rare countries with 3x100. How that happened and was it hard to achieve? How hard is to keep all that regions together?
Regarding the bonuses, yes, either we were lucky enough to have it or maybe admin was considering that the amount of countries in Europe will lead to a massive war for resources; I don't know what's the truth, but I'm glad that we are enjoying 3x100%. I would like to take this opportunity to give a special thanks to the Bulgarian players, who managed to awake the sleeping dragon resting in Carpathian Mountains. When they start to mess with our expansion plans, they've just helped to hit more and more and get the 2nd place in the country event. We were on 1st place for quite some time, but as most of us knows, that place is reserved for Greece for obvious reasons :joy:  (χαιρετισμούς στους παίκτες από την Ελλάδα). Keeping the regions is not hard, but not easy either, as we have to watch every rw battle and secure our bonuses. This is a good point, as it's maintaining an high level of activity among Ro players. It's worth mentioning that we accept many foreigners in Romania, to help them farming; you see, we are not selfish as perhaps some players thinks; we like to share the benefits and responsibilities with them.... it's a win-win situation after all.

- What do you don't like in (some) other players?
What I don't like in other players? That's an easy question: I don't like crying all the time ingame and on discord... and that's by far what I don't like the most; some players doesn't know, or just can't do better that that and it's embarrassing that they come over and over again with same subjects. Wake up everyone: this is a game and it should be a place where to escape from RL and HAVE FUN, not a place of nightmares and hard words thrown against other players or countries.  It doesn't matter what's in RL (past, present or future), keep that away.  My personal advice for such players (if they allow me one and only one advice): be/act smart, not hard; bullying it's like a boomerang: sooner or later will come back to you. Crying many rivers in game is making me avoiding even reading that wall, as you can barely see a decent message there, regardless the topic. Apart of this cry attitude, I don't like traitors and backstabbing attitude. I'm not going to give names, or details as I believe all the active players knows what I'm talking about; and this fall on the 2nd place on the "what I don't like" list. but enough with this point, let's move further, shall we?

- What do you think needs to be changed in this game? What would you like?
Definitely some changes has to be made in game (mechanics, modules or graphics) not only to keep the existing interest of players, but to bring fresh blood in game. Unfortunately,  my bottle with the magic potion to solve this puzzle spilled over the magic scroll with the best 10 things to be changed in game to reach the gold era of eDom, so now I find myself without any particular observation/ideas. It's worth mentioning that some other players have come with interesting ideas to upgrade the game; some other ideas were terrible, but as long as the sparkling open mind of people is bubbling good ideas, perhaps admin will consider to implement the best ones.

- How much time you spend here? Be honest...
Whow...how much time ingame: to be honest, I don't really know; I'm around my laptop all day long and many times night times as well due to particularities for my job, so game page is always open along with discord server. I can try a guess and come-up with a number: 7 maybe 8 hours I think is close to reality, but this is a thin border as I already mentioned, so one day could be more other day could be less.

- Tell me how is your character in game alike you in RL?
My character it's the same: I'm not an actor to put a different mask on my face while I'm in game, other than the natural RL one. And for this reason I've got in some disputes along the way with other players for one reason or another, but at all times, I was on the Justice/truth  side, with all the consequences coming along the road. maybe some people likes me some other doesn't... but this is life; I live my live as I consider to be appropriate and suits my needs.

- Do you think politics in game is like that in RL? Or maybe you like that you can influence it?
Politics in RL should definitely be kept in RL and the ones from the game should be kept in game and treated as such; I think many people are not seeing this difference and as a consequence, bullying and rivers of cry food the game wall.

- Have you some message for other players?
My message for all the other players: friend or foes: enjoy the game, enjoy Real Life; be happy and take the best of each life moment bot in game and RL; and remember: we all have only one live: make it awesome!
