Interview tommigunz

- Tell us something about yourself...
Hello Area 51 owner and followers, thanks for giving me this chance to explain myself to other players. I have started this game in day 1. at e-Turkey with bunch of people from another similar of this game. I always focus on economical activities such as buy/sell, create factory, investment organizasitons, income/expense calculations etc. Nature of economist player, try to ignore fighting for non-sense nationalist reasons which will make my account weaker. To improve our accounts, our group has moved to Colombia about day 150. (our group, they are called TOMA who continue still playing in Colombia).
Day 260. Some of us come back to e-Turkey because Country was wiped and players were left the country. Meanwhile I have been dismissed from my former group because they thought that I gave too much advise and tried to be their leader which is not correct, anyway. When I come back to e-Turkey I worked for government as president / minister for 5 months to rise e-Turkey again. Day 410, Government has invited all Turkish players to come back to e-Turkey. We could manage to wipe e-Slovenia who was the strongest country at that time. Been wiped country to wiper of the strongest was our biggest achievement at that time. Day 500, due to complexity of game management many players have left the game and I was one of them. Day 1000. Covid-19 days because of boredom I have started again. Till Day 1200 we had nice time in e-Turkey, active community, nice battles, passion. After that Boycott has showed up and spoiled everything. Many players left and our passion was ended. Boycott forced me chose new way, quit the game again or meet with new players and focus to improve my account. I chose the 2.option. By the way I don’t judge boycott decision, some action should be done. And its what its.

- Who is tommigunz in RL?

Graduated as Naval architect and marine engineer, nature of my work I have travelled more than 20 countries, but has stopped traveling for 5 years now. Working as Chief Mechanical Engineer for one of the IPP in ghana.

- Why did you choose this nick?
When I was at high school I was playing GTA vice city a lot. My friends were calling me Tommy (the main character in the game is Tommy Vercetti) meanwhile I was playing one of the online gangster game (omerta). As everybody know 1940s mythe gangster weapon was tommy guns. So I combined both to Tommigunz. This is how my nick name born.

- What is most fun thing you did in edomi? - What aspect of game you like the most and why?
Actually I don’t enjoy playing this game because I don’t see it as game. For me a game should be more visual. This is something like newspaper, magazine or series for me. I come here see whats going on, check my account`s improvement, check market prices whats going on, battle pages. just to waste my time. Keep my mind full. As I mentioned above I focus on any economical activities. And last 3-4 months I focus on Armed Combat its boosting my account too.

- You played for Germany in Jager for some time, how did you like it there and why did you move to Romania? - How do you compare communities in Germany and Romania?
After boycott, instead of leaving game I have decided to meet with new players and focus to improve my account more. I wasn’t fan of Jager before I move to e-Germany. All I know they were merc and cool couple of friends. Because of Bonus issue, I wanted to move e-germany. They welcomed me warmly. They gave access to their country chat in discord. Never put me a position like a Syrian refugee how Romania did to me now. In Romania nobody know anyone, nobody talks in discord plus their minister can steal your medals anytime because of old times issues. Once when I come to Romania wanted to create a party organization for foreigner to know each other. But I almost got trial. I had to abandoned my organization. in Germany I was quite impressed about their organization, cause they arrange DW and RW battles on time in a right way to earn medals and get more help from allies. In Romania hardly I can find 3 different battle at same time to Do AC. In Germany Their tax system and refunds were drop from heaven for farmers. During Boom boom event at April they helped me a lot. Still I try to keep in touch with them. Thanks a lot to e-german government in advance.

- You were also member of the Mercenaries, notorious Secret melody mu...
Actually there was no group like Mercanaries, SM was typing sell damage at All Chat, i was also looking for additional income. So that i have messaged her if she get high amount of damage needs to hit i can help. After that she has created discord group. I was the first member of Mercanaries group. Then we started to get some applications from other players. We were doing good. Almost everyday we could manage to get some gold as merc. Sm was working hard for the group and try to get new jobs. She wanted us to move any empty country to perform our merc role. But there was confict about it in the group. Most of the people didnt want to move to non-bonus empty country.so she has disbanded the group.

- What do you don't like in (some) other players?
This is a "game" lack of many visual thing. The communication and common goal keep this game alive. I hate people who refuse to talk and meet in half way.

- What do you think needs to be changed in this game? What would you like?
If I talk about changes on this game I have many ideas, in my newspaper. The main problems are:
- We have to give a reason to new players to keep playing game. Right now game mechanics don’t allow new players to improve or it will take too much time to achieve something. Unless they invest plenty euros
- Rich/ strong people/ countries becoming more stronger and richer everyday. There should be some boost to weaker. For example Season championship top 10 countries should get disadvantages instead of benefit.
But I am also happy to see game management is rewarding active players with AC and other events.

- How much time you spend here? Be honest...
About 3-4 hours a day, up to my work and real life issues.
In real life, im hardworking person, I always try to improve my life quality, I like to follow economical activies in real life too. But one thing about me, I don’t want to transfer my economical status into game (being visa), I want to keep it separated. I just invest a little into game. I want to see my account improve without visa boosting that makes me feel achived something. Unless its meaningless to me to play this game since I hate politics and battles. I am not person that hang out whole weekend at clubs; try to be healthy, no alcohol and cigaretes, gym and quality nutrients 😊

- Have you some message for other players?
Anyone can play how they want. I don’t judge people. But we have to keep communication at highest level. Try to enjoy what we have, and respect each other.
