People from the present and people from the past will answer to my "21 Questions" and it will be published in Primera, Secura, Suna and Alpha with comment-section open for everyone.
This week in our first interview i have the honor of ask 21 poisoned questions to the most famous dragon in all game: The Wildfire
1st Question >>> Vanews: How you started playing E-Sim?
Drogon: On the beginning I didn't expected that I would play E-Sim on such a level of activity. I was invited by a group of friends from another game to help Portugal, so there's not much story to tell about the first times as e-simian.
2nd Question >>> Vanews: Who helped you the most in the first 3 months?
Drogon: Kinioko and the ppl from Berzerker Wolves team.
3rd Question >>> Vanews: What you like more to do in the game?
Drogon: Hunt minions.
4th Question >>> Vanews: How much time per day you spent in the first year playing e-sim?
Drogon: Not to much. Maybe the same time that i'm spending nowadays.
5th Question >>> Vanews: What is your record of days/nights playing e-sim without sleep?
Drogon: I can't remember. Maybe 3 or 4 nights in a row.
6th Question >>> Vanews: How many euros you have spent in E-Sim?
Drogon: Enough money to enjoy the game and let others enjoy it tho.
7th Question >>> Vanews: You work as Game Operator in server Alpha. Tell us about your experiences in game-support.
Drogon: Everyday I feel that what I'm doing is for a good purpose and I have to thanks to Alpha's Staff-team for all the help and special thanks to Michal and KarateKnakker, training a dragon isn't so easy has people thinks
The majority of E-Sim is youth people playing a text-based geopolitical simulator and that means a big amount of mistakes done in-game. Maybe a lot of people believe that when someone is making a lot of multiple-accounts isn't considered a mistake but just someone that they think is smart doing something illegal. They're wrong, because sooner or later we will ban all accounts and fine everyone who took profit from any violation of Law #1. In the end, the one that made multiple-accounts will lose all the progress in-game and no one will get profit from these illegal actions.
8th Question >>> Vanews: Do you feel that you made the right choice when you abdicated of play politics to spend your time working in the game-support?
Drogon: In my opinion, yes i did a good choice. I'm too busy in RL to stay online for more than 5 hours/day and i lost my patience to deal with country/alliance issues and conflicts, it requires a lot of time. Staff was the way i found to don't leave the game in a moment that i was bored and on the way to donate everything to my friends and say good-bye.
9th Question >>> Vanews: Why you're The Wildfire in Suna and not Confucious, or Drogon like in other servers?
Drogon: For me it's like a tattoo of war. The biggest wars i had in E-Sim happened when i was involved in a project called Wildfire Alliance. In that time I was very active in all parts of the game (politics, economy, military) and it ends when i disbanded the alliance, because i had no time for the game and no one wanted to continue the project, so it got immortal by my name and to show the respect that this dragon have for all WF brothers.
10th Question >>> Vanews: Do you have any solution for E-Sim rise up the activity and have more players?
Drogon: I already sent some suggestions that would increase a little bit the activity in permanent-servers. I'm also an activist to defend "No More Temp-Servers". It's just killing the game because it's constantly generating equipments that will come to perma-servers and decrease equipment prices. Old-players spent a lot of time and in some cases a lot of money to reach full Q6 equipment set, but now a player can do full max Q6 just in few months. If it's fair or not isn't even a question, it's really and extremely unfair and was the reason for great players leave the game forever.
11th Question >>> Vanews: Which country you would like to conquer if you was Drogon in a middle-age world?
Drogon: I would like to conquer the United Kingdom and block the access to all humans, only animals would be able to enter on that island. I would name it has The Wild World and dow all human countries who didn't respect the planet Earth.
12th Question >>> Vanews: Why Angola in Suna?
Drogon: It have a story and started with a Blackbird request to help portuguese people in Angola, because they were almost losing the PTO. I recruited some portuguese and brazillian friends from server Primera and after a lot of intern-conflicts and time spent to clean and rebuild the country, i chose Angola as my home in Suna. I have to say thanks to all the people who helped Angola while i was leading the country, they'll be always part of the Angolan e-History and remembered as heroes of war.
13th Question >>> Vanews: What you think about the portuguese community of E-Sim?
Drogon: Generally it's nice and quiet community, comparing with other similar games that i play(ed). In Suna it was never easy to work with portuguese people, like happened in Primera or Secura. Since Kinioko stopped playing active this game, a new generation of players became active and they think different of me and others who left PT or even the game. That's sad, but I
have to be real with myself and don't participate in a project with people that don't respect me or my friends. There still some people fighting just because the respect for PT flag and they're nice, that people will always get my respect and they know who they're. About the others, i wish one day we start thinking on the same way and with mutual-respect even if we're playing in different countries.
14th Question >>> Vanews: What you have in mind about your future in this game?
Drogon: I will continue working as moderator and at the same time develop without hurry-up the merc-MU project in Alpha called "Wildfire Company", inspired in Bad Company mercenary-group from other game. That will be my future: help the players and get fun fighting
without care about politics.
15th Question >>> Vanews: Game of Thrones or Dragon Ball?
Drogon: It's the hardest choice that I ever had to make.. Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z forever.
16th Question >>> Vanews: Sex, Rap or both?
Drogon: When i'm listening Hip-Hop music i have to hear and feel the lyrics. When i'm doing sex i don't pay attention to any word of any music and this one is also hard choice, but i learn much more with rap than with sex..
17th Question >>> Vanews: Best movie ever made in your opinion?
Drogon: Chucky aka Child's Play
18th Question >>> Vanews: Sport that you like most and your favorite team?
Drogon: Football and i'm not a dragon only when I'm online: FC PORTO
19th Question >>> Vanews: Your favorite dish?
Drogon: Spaghetti Bolognese.
20th Question >>> Vanews: Who won the Cold War? URSS or USA?
Drogon: Kralice's finger at t0.1
21st Question >>> Vanews: We know that you strong dislike humans because we're killing the planet. What you think about the future of humanity?
Drogon: In 30 years the planet Earth’s population will be less than 100kk people. There are more ways to extinguish humans than solutions to avoid their extinction. That's a fact and not just hate about the human race.

[INTERVIEW] 21 Questions with Cianora (4 years ago)
About the game:
USA as a world power? In E-Sim it is possible!
In E-Sim we have a huge, living world, which is a mirror copy of the Earth. Well, maybe not completely mirrored, because the balance of power in this virtual world looks a bit different than in real life. In E-Sim, USA does not have to be a world superpower, It can be efficiently managed as a much smaller country that has entrepreneurial citizens that support it's foundation. Everything depends on the players themselves and how they decide to shape the political map of the game.
Work for the good of your country and see it rise to an empire.
Activities in this game are divided into several modules. First is the economy as a citizen in a country of your choice you must work to earn money, which you will get to spend for example, on food or purchase of weapons which are critical for your progress as a fighter. You will work in either private companies which are owned by players or government companies which are owned by the state. After progressing in the game you will finally get the opportunity to set up your own business and hire other players. If it prospers, we can even change it into a joint-stock company and enter the stock market and get even more money in this way.
In E-Sim, international wars are nothing out of the ordinary.
Become an influential politician.
The second module is a politics. Just like in real life politics in E-Sim are an extremely powerful tool that can be used for your own purposes. From time to time there are elections in the game in which you will not only vote, but also have the ability to run for the head of the party you're in. You can also apply for congress, where once elected you will be given the right to vote on laws proposed by your fellow congress members or your president and propose laws yourself. Voting on laws is important for your country as it can shape the lives of those around you. You can also try to become the head of a given party, and even take part in presidential elections and decide on the shape of the foreign policy of a given state (for example, who to declare war on). Career in politics is obviously not easy and in order to succeed in it, you have to have a good plan and compete for the votes of voters.
You can go bankrupt or become a rich man while playing the stock market.
The international war.
The last and probably the most important module is military. In E-Sim, countries are constantly fighting each other for control over territories which in return grant them access to more valuable raw materials. For this purpose, they form alliances, they fight international wars, but they also have to deal with, for example, uprisings in conquered countries or civil wars, which may explode on their territory. You can also take part in these clashes, although you are also given the opportunity to lead a life as a pacifist who focuses on other activities in the game (for example, running a successful newspaper or selling products).
At the auction you can sell or buy your dream inventory.
E-Sim is a unique browser game. It's creators ensured realistic representation of the mechanisms present in the real world and gave all power to the players who shape the image of the virtual Earth according to their own. So come and join them and help your country achieve its full potential.
Invest, produce and sell - be an entrepreneur in E-Sim.
Take part in numerous events for the E-Sim community.
