Anyway...moving on. I managed to waste around half an hour of AP's time to get an interview
[SPOIL][10:45:48 PM] Ballistick/Nemesis: hello sir
[10:47:21 PM] Anomandaris Purake:

hello
[10:47:27 PM] Ballistick/Nemesis: how are you?
[10:47:31 PM] Anomandaris Purake: is this my interview?
[10:47:47 PM] Anomandaris Purake: I'm tired but good

just handling diplomacy just now
[10:48:44 PM] Ballistick/Nemesis: lol...
[10:48:55 PM] Ballistick/Nemesis: err....sure
[10:49:08 PM] Ballistick/Nemesis: (I completely forgot about this)
[10:50:14 PM] Ballistick/Nemesis: so, you are one of the leaders of N/A right?
[10:50:25 PM] Anomandaris Purake: yes, one of like 10
[10:52:06 PM] Ballistick/Nemesis: recently your tribe has been getting a lot of publicity publically for your ongoing war with SKY. It seems that N/A is doing quite well compared to sky. What reason would you cite that being due to?
[10:55:29 PM | Edited 10:55:43 PM] Anomandaris Purake: Friendship, seriously, every member of N/A are friends. 4 of them I have known since I had 1 village. We grew up together through variuos tribes and always been able to rely on one another. The whole tribe is like that. We are relaxed and make the game fun. We are motivated becuase we like the tribe and want to succeed. We also have Bagheera, who eats babies for a living. No joke, he scares me
[10:57:54 PM] Ballistick/Nemesis: trust me, you arent the only one scared of bagheera. Personally, I have to agree with you about N/A being a group of friends, even though I only know a few people there, people seem to get on well compared to sky.
[10:58:33 PM] Ballistick/Nemesis: Now, as I have no idea what to say next (I was never ever a good interviewer), I wonder whether you could enlighten us a bit about your experience in tribalwars?
[11:03:54 PM] Anomandaris Purake: I have only ever played 3 worlds serioulsy, W1(nub I was) W2 where I met my mentor and learned everything from defending to how to work as a team to W32, where after being in a fail tribe I decided "hey, I am gonna try this leadership malarkey and hope for the best" luckily my first 5 members were all experienced players and helped me a lot(Lady Ashley and bell still being here this day).
It took me 30 worlds to feel confident enough to lead, I played for 3 years being a member and was happy doing so. I was in W2 learning as much as I could from some great people like Grimlock, hooch and jellytots. I also played the norwegian server as Grimlock(friend and mentor) dragged me there. That was fun but I never was very good there. Most of my experience came from W2. I was scared of the forums until W32 as well. Then I just threw myself in and got into it. I guess W32 is where I really learned most things
[11:08:25 PM] Ballistick/Nemesis: I played in world 1 too, and trust me, I am still a nub to this day. I am interested though that this is your first time leading, although you do have a great group of players to lead and an equally great group helping you. I think we both know that N/A is probably going to win this war now sky has started to splinter, my only question is, what is the future for N/A?
[11:13:30 PM] Anomandaris Purake: My first time leading yes, I still can't believe I have survived this long without someone realising I am a nub and shouldn't be leading. I don't rate myself as a leader, I think I have major flaws but my members seem to trust me, still don't know why.
As for our future ehm... Pass? No just kidding, we'll consolidate and eat our inactives and then we'll push on for another big war. We actually have a tribe attacking one of our weakened members whilst we are distracted. They shall pay. Then we shall head corewards, as we are already on the rim. We need to keep progressing, keep being the same N/A, BORED and Smile! we have always been. Agressive, in your face and most of all, fun. If it ain't broke why fix it?
[11:14:57 PM] Ballistick/Nemesis: Agreed. You certainly seem to be on track lol

. Other than N/A, do you think there is any tribes we should watch out for?
[11:20:46 PM] Anomandaris Purake: THX, I've said since day 1 they are a big power in W32. Ken(k-Wolff) is a leader who I respect, he is 110% into doing what is best for his tribe, completely dedicated and fights rather well too. Fear his cat nukes!
Time, as long as they got AYK, will be number 1. But we'll beat them at top spot one day
FearUs, they are the only tribe in the North West worth anything anymore. Clustered, good expansion room, I expect them to go far.
N/A I have to mention because really, I think we can become a power house just like Time, THX and BBS. Long live N/A and... Fear teh Bags!
[11:23:16 PM] Ballistick/Nemesis: I have really ran out of ideas now. Well, thankyou for taking precious time out of your schedule to be harrassed by me and hopefully you will be able to see a posting on the public forums within half an hour on the top 20 thread which I seemed to have taken over from rozza for some reason
[11:24:34 PM] Anomandaris Purake:

well thanks, its been a blast and I hope people take what I said as humour

its a game after all so everyone should have fun. And Balls... let's noble some SKY!

Oh and lastly...on a short sidenote. Genghis park has nearly broken his own record of pointwhoreness by internally nobling 91 villages in the last week. If there was only a way to set the beast that is genghis on the enemy...
