[7:48 AM] Farquharrr: I see. Are you halljborn?
[7:48 AM] Farquharrr: Ah yes
[7:48 AM] Farquharrr: Great. I've seen your application, we can begin the interview whenever you're ready:)
[7:48 AM] Anarcho-Capitalist: I’m ready!
[7:49 AM] Farquharrr: Gotcha! We require the usage of Slack, a free chatting application available for both desktop and mobile, for all members. Will you be okay with this? (Y/N)
[7:49 AM] Anarcho-Capitalist: Yes
[7:50 AM] Farquharrr: We require that you use the leader name in game as your name on the forum and on slack. Do you agree to do that? (Y/N)
[7:50 AM] Anarcho-Capitalist: Yes
[7:50 AM] Farquharrr: For military preparedness, TKR requires all of our members to maintain a warchest of resources required for war.  Are you ok with this? (Y/N)
[7:51 AM] Anarcho-Capitalist: Yes
[7:51 AM] Farquharrr: If TKR asks you to go to war where your nation may take heavy damages, would you do it?
[7:51 AM] Anarcho-Capitalist: Yes
[7:51 AM] Farquharrr: Have you played any similar nation sim games before (example: cybernations, nationstates): (Y/N)   If yes, which alliances were you in, and for how long?
[7:52 AM] Anarcho-Capitalist: Yes but many years ago. Don’t remember what alliances it was though.
[7:53 AM] Farquharrr: What made you pick TKR over other alliances?
[7:55 AM] Anarcho-Capitalist: Been scrolling through alliances the past week. I like how responsive this alliance is and it’s structure which it’s built upon caught my eye.
[7:55 AM] Farquharrr: Great to hear! How active will you be?
[7:56 AM] Anarcho-Capitalist: I’m active normally 4-5 times a day depending on how much money I can spend on military. That’s what I am currently working on
[7:57 AM] Farquharrr: Ah gotcha:) What timezone will you usually play the game in?
[7:57 AM] Anarcho-Capitalist: US-Eastern time
[7:57 AM] Farquharrr: Awesome. I have just a few more questions for ya and we're done!
[7:58 AM] Farquharrr: What are your expectations for TKR?
[7:59 AM] Anarcho-Capitalist: Friendship, trade, and an alliance who can come to a nations defense in a time when it’s necessary and needed. Especially developing nations!
[8:00 AM] Indger: Also, please don't buy any infra further atm
[8:00 AM] Farquharrr: Hey Indger:)
[8:00 AM] Farquharrr: Great answer:) What can you bring into TKR? Why would we want to accept you?
[8:04 AM] Anarcho-Capitalist: I stay pretty active. Things I can bring are trade, involvement, responsiveness, and hopefully add my military capabilities. Goal is to build my nation with the willing to learn and listen on responsible ways to do it and be the best at it
[8:06 AM] Farquharrr: That was another great and detailed answer! I noticed you mentioned that you used to play pnw on another nation. What made you leave?
[8:07 AM] Anarcho-Capitalist: It was a few years ago. Mainly due to an inactive alliance and the constant attacks I was taking by pirate nations at that time recked my nation to the point I just couldn’t build it back up.
[8:07 AM] Farquharrr: Ah I see. If you don't mind me asking which alliance was it?
[8:08 AM] Anarcho-Capitalist: I’m not even sure honestly. I haven’t played this in about 5 years
[8:09 AM] Farquharrr: Ah I see I see. Great. Last question! What would you do if TKR asks you to do something you would not want to do(We never ask people to break game rules)? Explain
[8:10 AM] Anarcho-Capitalist: It depends on who it comes from and what part of the chain of command they’re giving an order from or want you to do. That’s my honest answer!
[8:11 AM] Farquharrr: Gotcha! Thanks for answering all the questions! I'll now pass the time to IA gov who'll take over from here. Do check your forums application for updates regularly! It might take some time as our gov has irl commitments as well, so we appreciate it if you're patient
[8:11 AM] Farquharrr: Lastly, if you have any questions, feel free to ping me @Farquharrr or @ oathgate, that'll get someone down to answering you:)
[8:13 AM] Anarcho-Capitalist: Actually do have a question. I keep getting attacked by pirate nation…. And currently not really sure how to break the blockade. My military isn’t strong enough so I clearly messed up on not having a prepared military.
[8:13 AM] Anarcho-Capitalist: The damage isn’t too bad. Just extremely annoying
[8:14 AM] Farquharrr: No problem. I'm pretty sure our milcom can set up some counters for you
[8:15 AM] Farquharrr: I'll let them know, if they don't already so that they can set up the counters before you gain too much damage etc
[8:15 AM] Indger: If you were on our applicant list when you were attacked then we always counter
[8:16 AM] Indger: If you weren't when you were attacked then we will have to discuss it internally
[8:16 AM] Anarcho-Capitalist: Unfortunately I was not.
[8:17 AM] Farquharrr: @Indger you wanna take over this? I gotta go for something
[8:18 AM] Indger: I thought you finished the interview
[8:22 AM] Farquharrr: I mean, there was a question so...
[9:10 AM] Steven Hoffmann: Since the raid was declared before you are our applicant, so unfortunately we cannot organise an official counter
[9:10 AM] Steven Hoffmann: What we can do is to provide guidance
[9:11 AM] Anarcho-Capitalist: I understand. It’s got me stuck at the moment
[9:11 AM] Anarcho-Capitalist: @Steven Hoffmann
[9:12 AM] Steven Hoffmann: how much resources do you have on hand?
[9:14 AM] Steven Hoffmann: oh and you are already down to 29 res already
[9:15 AM] Anarcho-Capitalist: Not enough resources. Considering I’m blockaded I’ll eventually run out. Guess I focused on all the wrong things building my nation.
[9:15 AM] Steven Hoffmann: Given your low res and the lack of resources, a pragmatic decision would be to fortify and lose the war deliberately. After that we can grant protection. 
[9:16 AM] Steven Hoffmann: It is possible to win, but that will take a lot of building up, so that will be costly
[9:16 AM] Steven Hoffmann: as you do not have much resources on hand, you shouldn't lose much even if you lose the war 
[9:17 AM] Steven Hoffmann: What do you think? We can go all out and try to win, but that would be costly, and cannot guarantee results as your res is already too low.
[9:17 AM] Steven Hoffmann: Or we can take a more economical and practical decision to lose deliberately
[9:18 AM] Anarcho-Capitalist: I would rather lose considering I don’t have a strong res level. Plus economically sounds like what I need to do.
[9:18 AM] Anarcho-Capitalist: But just fortified my forces. How long can these raid-wars go?
[9:19 AM] Steven Hoffmann: It ends when one side lose all their res. Otherwise all wars expire in a span of 5 days.
[9:19 AM] Steven Hoffmann: Wars can also end if both sides agree to peace
[9:20 AM] Anarcho-Capitalist: Oh ok. So I guess I’ll just let them attack me till my res level is up.
[9:20 AM] Anarcho-Capitalist: No worries. I hadn’t taken any huge losses at all. Was just a nuisance
[9:20 AM] Steven Hoffmann: Yeah losing a war or two isn't a big deal
[9:21 AM] Steven Hoffmann: Coincidentally I also applied when I was raided by an Arrgh member haha
[9:54 AM] Anarcho-Capitalist: The person attacking me is the biggest troll ever. Trolls weren’t as bad when I played 5 years ago lol!
[9:55 AM] Anarcho-Capitalist: How do you block communications? Out of curiosity so this dude can stop messaging me
[10:11 AM] Anarcho-Capitalist: @Steven Hoffmann
[10:12 AM] Steven Hoffmann: what did he message you?
[10:18 AM] Steven Hoffmann: And I am not aware of a way to block communications 
[10:26 AM] Anarcho-Capitalist: Something about getting vengeance but not exactly sure what he’s talking about unless he’s trying to role play and I’m just not playing along with it lol
[10:27 AM] Anarcho-Capitalist: Also basically told me he’s purposely trying to make me drain my resources.
[10:27 AM] Anarcho-Capitalist: @Steven Hoffmann
[10:30 AM] Steven Hoffmann: meh, just regular shittalking
[10:30 AM] Steven Hoffmann: just ignore him
[10:33 AM] Anarcho-Capitalist: Gotcha is there anything else I need to do for applying with the alliance?
[10:33 AM] Anarcho-Capitalist: @Steven Hoffmann
[10:44 AM] WarriorSoul: Are you applied in-game @Anarcho-Capitalist?
[10:45 AM] WarriorSoul: Yeah, just saw.
[10:45 AM] Anarcho-Capitalist: @WarriorSoul Was about to check to make sure but yeah remember applying in game now.
[10:46 AM] WarriorSoul: Good deal. I'm gonna get you masked for academy access really quick. You can usually complete it within one sitting if you have just a second, but otherwise we give you three days to finish it. Give me a sec and I'll link it.
