Good!Till i come back in 25 mins,you can answer these questions.

[11:12 PM]

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) 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) 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) If TKR asks you to go to war where your nation may take heavy damages, would you do it? 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? What made you pick TKR over other alliances? How active will you be? What time zone will you usually play the game in?

sepehr.10 — Yesterday at 11:19 PM

1. Yes 2. Yes 3. Yes 4. Yes, I believe through preparation and strategy, we can prevent heavy damages. 5. ROME total war, hearts of iron IV, crusader kings III. I have been in the Socialist Union of the Nova Roma as the martial department strategist. I picked TKR because I believe it has a great reputation and lots of room to grow. This alliance’s hospitality also played a huge role in my decision. I live in Canada. If London is 0, then Canada is 4 hours behind (-4)

Indger — Yesterday at 11:22 PM

How active will you be?

sepehr.10 — Yesterday at 11:30 PM

I will be active for a few hours a day. Unless exams are coming up.

Indger — Yesterday at 11:31 PM

[11:31 PM]

That's great! But I do have few more questions. Just few more questions and we're done! Let's get to know a bit more about you. What would you do if TKR would ask you to do something which you do not want to do? (We never ask people to break the game rules). Explain.

sepehr.10 — Yesterday at 11:35 PM

I feel like it honestly depends. People will always have different views on policies and war strategies. The beauty of democracy is that people can have their voices heard and we can go with that. So if my idea isn’t a favourite then it’s just how it is. In the case where the majority decide on a resolution, I will act on it.

[11:38 PM]

However under extreme cases, democracy will be ignored and decisive action will be taken. In that case I’ll listen to the policy makers without question

Indger — Yesterday at 11:44 PM

What are your expectations for TKR?

[11:48 PM]

@sepehr.10

sepehr.10 — Yesterday at 11:50 PM

Honestly, I’m a very achievement and recognition driven person. It is a very competitive alliance, but I would like to feel like through hard work, dedication, and loyalty I’ll be able to be promoted or recognized and be able to achieve greater things. In other words, everyone has the opportunity to secure the positions they are aiming for trough hard work. In my opinion, alliances that run oligopoly are doomed to fail and I believe that TKR is not that. Moreover I expect the members of the alliance to work together and stay strong even in difficult times

[11:51 PM]

However these are merely expectations. I am positive that this alliance has these values. Without which it would not have been ranked #2

Indger — Yesterday at 11:52 PM

What can you bring into TKR? Why would we want to accept you?

sepehr.10 — Yesterday at 11:58 PM

In my opinion, it would not be wise to judge someone’s knowledge and abilities through how long they have been playing this game for. In the real world, I have studied a lot of history, politics and am currently specializing in finance and economics at the University of Toronto. Anyone with a higher score can seem like a good candidate, however it is my deep level of understanding and expertise regarding warfare, diplomacy, and economics that separates me from the rest. Game wise, I learned a lot of strategies from my former alliance as the martial department strategist which would allow me to perform my tasks with maximum efficiency and quality

[12:00 AM]

Explain in your own words, which kind of a nation you want to become, and what kind of help you expect from TKR in this:

sepehr.10 — Today at 12:04 AM

As the game itself has stated many times, “if you want peace, prepare for war”. My goal is to continue increasing the size of my military as much as I can. However, my priority will be increasing my income through commerce, and specializing in trade. To try and put it simply, higher income via higher commerce %. Began mass production in a resource (like oil or steel) and sell to market to earn more income. Thirdly, proportionally increase my military readiness.

Indger — Today at 12:05 AM

sepehr.10 — Today at 12:05 AM

I don’t want my income to be through waging war, I would rather earn income through trades and city developments

[12:05 AM]

However, if necessary, I wouldn’t hesitate to wage war

Indger — Today at 12:06 AM

sepehr.10 — Today at 12:06 AM

Regards to help, I believe grants/loans and overall war preparation is the most I can ask for

Indger — Today at 12:07 AM

Last question

[12:07 AM]

What makes a good alliance and what makes a good member?

sepehr.10 — Today at 12:08 AM

To start with member, a good member is someone who overlooks personal interests for the greater good of the alliance itself. Loyalty, dedication, and taking justified orders is necessary. In regard to alliances, I think alliances should use their combined forces against any nation that wages war on our weaker nations. The alliance should protect and aid small nations and allow them to grow into bigger and stronger nations.

[12:09 AM]

Communication is key

[12:09 AM]

Especially with the upcoming global war

[12:10 AM]

We must acknowledge that if our weaker members are left without support, they will be targeted and if they lose, our bank will be significantly impacted. As a matter of fact, I think we should be more vary of those in higher risk of being singled out

[12:11 AM]

Because regardless, a defeat will give them access to our bank resources

[12:11 AM]

I apologize that was a lot haha
