      Reporter got a reaction from Exilia in [Interview] mafy   
      This interview is about mafy, a pro player who made the strongest Summoner on Inception,  he owned his place in this NewsPaper Hall of Fame because he broke the last stages of the game at a very far away distance from the 2nd place (for example, when he entered in the last stage he had 5 resets in advance, compared to the 2nd place), he made the best Summoner on Inception and he is also ranked number 2 on general Reset Rankings, number 4 on general Hall of Fame Rankings (no 1 on Summoner Hall of Fame Rankings), and he also is present in top 5 on almost all other rankings that we have on website.
      Reporter: " Hello, mafy,  you have built the best Summoner on this server, Congratulations!!" 
      mafy : "Hello, Reporter, thank you for these appreciations and I'm honored to be in your NewsPaper Hall of Fame." 
      Reporter: " Can you tell us a short story about how you managed to climb in all those rankings and to get in top 5 on almost all  ?"
      mafy : "I've managed to climb in all those rankings by having a good permanent party, by having a flexible schedule and having active party members, so we could always go to events. We've managed to go complete all entries to bc,ds,cc almost every day. I love a lot to do all events possible, and I always focused on all of them when I am online, including bosses, Castle Siege , etc. I find this the most attractive part of the game."  
      Reporter : " There are rumors that in previous editions you played BK and that this edition is the first one where you play Summoner, is it true?" 
      mafy : "Yeah, I used to play only bk for like 15 years ( with breaks, ofc). I've also had a try with AE on last 50rr edition here, I've just wanted to play casual on that db, but I had a good start with a really good party gathered in Lorencia at startup (with Lovise, WhiteBK, Mr.Cristian - turned to be a perma party). Lovise quit after a while, so I continued on his SM, but WhiteBK retired aswell, so I finished up on his bk. I can say I still played BK also that edition. Returning to the question, yes, this is my first time ever as Summoner. I also wanted to play casual this DB, but, again, a really good party in the beginning messed up my plans and turned it for me into a "hardcore" edition. "  
      Reporter: "I have some personal questions for you, do you agree to give us some personal details about the man behind that player?" 
      mafy : "Sure."  
      Reporter: "What is your occupation? Do you a have family ? How old are you? What encourages you to play this "forgotten" game that is kept alive only by old school "maniacs", like us ? " 
      mafy : " I finished the college and I got a diploma in automatics engineering. I'm 28 years old, I'm married and I have an one year old little boy. This is why I was so active this edition, he kept me close to home, I paused the long trips for a while, also going out every night and the drinks with friends were greatly reduced. For me the time spent with my family is the most important in the world  .😃  So from one of the biggest afkers  ( Psyke's competitor haha) and from the one who was carried by the team because of the lack of time,  I turned into a hardcore player for a while (like old times :D), and was my time to carry others. 
      What encourages me... I name it "MU VIRUS" once you start playing this game ( especially , the oldschool guys who started more than a decade ago) you can't stop playing it. Since more than like five years ago, on every database I say "ok, this is my last db ever. Time to stop playing this game", but really nice projects like Oldsquad servers and old players who ask me to play make me join again and again and over again. ^^ " 
      Reporter : "What are you doing for a living?"
      mafy : "I'm managing my own fitness club, so nothing to do with automatics engineering  that's just my back up plan, just in case, if I will ever need a full time job." 
      Reporter: "How did you found OldSquad ?"
      mafy : " As I remember, RedBuLL told me about it, and I started here in first db among all old players who came from the most famous Romanian server at that time." 
      Reporter: " What nicknames you had in past?""
      mafy : "I've always played with nickname "mafy". Last 50rr edition I had my AE named Wicked." 
      Reporter: "Did you had VIP activated since Inception started?? "
      mafy : "Yes, and I was able to farm enough credits to keep it activated all the time." 
      Reporter :" Do you think OldSquad servers are having a real play to win concept ? Or you think that only donors can get in top? " 
      mafy : "It depends. If you are a hardcore player, you can easily obtain everything you need without donating(Mu3rTe and me are some examples for Inception). But on the other side, if you are a casual player you can buy VIP and items from market, so you get in top and start being competitive in the easy way.   But I consider it being more play2win than pay2win."
      Reporter :"Do you have a permanent party? Do you have this permanent party since Inception started?"
      mafy : "I always play with a permanent party. I think this is the key to be competitive. Can't do everything alone, teamwork always leads to great achievements. I've changed 3 permanent parties because many of them quit, my actual party is with Mu3rTe, AdriaNN and Sparkle. "  
      Reporter: "What happened to your old permanent parties ?"
      mafy : " In the first perma party, we were only 3 active players: me, Ganacci and Fatman. Trompeta and WhiteBK, they were afk all the time, so after a while they said that they have to quit because of lack of time. After this, because of some misunderstandings in our party, Fatman deleted his char, so Ganacci quit aswell (he also didn't like some settings and considered this edition is too hard for his style). I was also close to quit, but I found Snook's party searching for members, so Fatman took Trompeta's char and we both joined them. After a while, Snook and his team was really busy so they hadn't enough time to play, so they were about to quit, and that incident with Snook made them all quit (TheKing, Snook and Alex). Mu3rte started to play, Makiavelli's party was also broken, so we started the last perma party - mafy, Mu3rTe, Makiavelli, Sparkle and AdriaNN. "  
      Reporter : "At the beginning of the server you joined Squadron guild, what happened? Why did you left Squadron to join Rampage ? " 
      mafy : "Yeah, I've played with Squadron guild before, I know them all, I still consider them all my friends, although some of them threw some bad words towards me  . Initially, RedBuLL told us about this new edition and we were supposed to join a whole guild from another server, but many ppl changed their mind in the last few days before the start, so we stared only 1 party here. Why I left Squadron? ... I'm not a player who jumps from guild to guild just for winning or having benefits, I have principles and I'm against compromises. As I said to Squadron members nicely, (was a party decision, not only mine) my party left Squadron to join Rampage because, first of all, RedBuLL told us about this new edition and he invited us to play here. Secondly,  RedBuLL is our friend for more than 10 years, it was obviously to follow him, considering these 2 reasons. "  
      Reporter: "There are rumors that there were strong quarrels inside Rampage that made you leave the guild,  are they true?  "
      mafy : "There were not strong quarrels, but yes, there were some fights inside guild that I didn't like, so I preferred to play out of guild for a while. I didn't left to join other guild. I simply preferred to play quietly for a while and it was the most relaxing time I had on this edition . "  
      Reporter : "Did those fights took place immediately after you won one of the battles for supremacy?"
      mafy : " Fights were since the beginning because of different visions and opinions. Winning didn't brought argues, they were already there, haha."  
      Reporter: " Do you believe in superstitions ? Do you think that the Castle is Cursed?" 
      mafy : "I don't believe in superstitions at all. I think the main reason why some guilds fail is the lack of organization and also because of the pride and the selfishness of some. "
      Reporter: " The population on the server has dropped in the last few months from 600+ characters on, to 300+ chars on, now it seems stable, what do you think is the cause of this population decline??"
      mafy : "You can't make a perfect server since the beginning... There are always things that need to be adjusted as the server advances, but many ppl can't understand this and at every problem there are some who quit. Every problem was solved sooner or later. Anyway, you can't please everyone. I also think that this is the range of a mu server life, 3-4 months, after this time they are slowly dying. " 
      Reporter: "After the Castle Siege that took place two weeks ago, you had a period when the most important Hardcore players (including you) were offline , the remaining active players left guild and now Hardcore looks like a guild scattered all over the server. What happened?  "
      mafy : "I went on a small vacation for 5 days, but I was also thinking yo quit when I saw that we are 5-7 ppl against whole server united.   But I returned and reconsidered, so I went back online    "
      Reporter: "At the Castle Siege from last week you fought against ATTACK guild, why?"
      mafy : "Yeah... it was our duty to return them that "favor". We were only 3 ppl trying to mess them, but they managed to win despite this, so I have to congratulate them for the organization and for bringing full squad there. It's the first time when I see them having identity, and it looks like a very good guild is born. Congrats! GG, WP "
      Reporter : " Can you give us some tips about Summoner stats build and ML skill tree for Summoner to be a top pvp character ? Can you reveal yours?"
      mafy : "My stats build was always a mystery (also when i played BK and not only on this server) and I like to keep it that way. That's why only a few close friends have access to my account and pc, only those I really trust!  .  I think there isn't a standard perfect build for a char. You must adapt your stats build with your style and also with your role in the team. It's also about experience, thinking and adapting to each situation. Two players can have same build and items, but there always will be one better than the other. You must find that little thing that can make you the winner. Things are even easier having the test server , that's another innovative way brought for us by Admin, where anyone can find the perfect build for him."
      Reporter : " Now I see you and Mu3rte online and active, will you try to fight for the castle again? " 
      mafy : "Yes, this CS V2 sounds really good, we will try to bring as many players as we can on the battle field. I also hope that all debts were paid between guilds and I think everybody (including staff) will want to see a first FULL CLEAN fight and the best to win, without any anti-game. I saw some problems inside PlayBoys, but I hope they manage to make a good team for this CS so we can see a 3 guilds fair fight for the first time in 5 months. I also hope ADMIN will record this expected epic fight. "
      Reporter: "What do you think about this new Castle Siege V2 ? "
      mafy : "This new CS V2 sounds really good, the staff doesn't stop to impress me (all of us, I think) with their innovative and unique ideas, you guys really MAKE MU GREAT AGAIN! "
      Reporter:"  Did you had any enemies in game on this data base? "
      mafy : " I can't call anyone from the server my enemy. I only have fun, I consider PK as a part of game, but many ppl take it personally. I can say that I had a time when I was hunting ATTACK, our guild was hunting them actually, because some of them are players with 2 faces. They were messaging us to stop killing them, but they were killing our ppl, or killing us in the night, or saying to a 10 y/o kid that will rape and kill her and her family, or something like that. They also had a time when they were only the anti-game guild on the server, first they talked to Squadron to help them against us, next week they message us that they will do everything against Squadron because they hate Squadron. But I think bad things went away when their toxic ex-leader was banned. As I know, his behavior was the only reason that started fights between our guilds. There is a Romanian proverb that says that "any green forest has its dry trees", in conclusion they also have nice ppl there, and as I said, it's just a game, I don't have a personal problem with any of them. I had only one uncontrolled rage at one CS, when I threw some bad words to Fane. I would like to apologize for that in this way. I hope he will read this. " 
      Reporter: "Have you ever had a moment in wanting to quit playing Summoner ?"
      mafy : "In the beginning, summoner was really weak and useless, but no way to quit playing it, despite that, this determined me to do everything to make it shine   Actually, there was a moment when Rusuletz quit , we needed 1 bk, so I was thinking to come back to my first love  , but I gave up and continued the journey with my character as it is, Summoner. " 
      Reporter: " Do you read the NewsPaper? What do you suggest to improve on it?"
      mafy : "There's always a pleasure to read your articles, you are doing a really great job! (even if sometimes you judge us in your articles and sometimes it seems like you are picking sides ). I suggest more interviews, they seem to be really fun. I also want to see there a topic where we can throw some questions for you, you select some of them and make your own interview. " 
      Reporter: " Haha, Reporter's interview! That is funny, people will say I invented questions for myself ^^(I am joking, ofc). I will consider this idea, but, please let's get back to you, it is kind of late and I still have few questions.  "
      mafy: "Yea, sure, let's move on.  "
      Reporter " You said in one of the answers that you gave me earlier, some players in your camp or even from your permanent party, were banned by Admin with the reasons that they "tried to sell items for real money". What is your opinion about this rule? Do you think it's unfair? "
      mafy : "This rule stopped the "black market". I think is a fair and a really good idea. A player should never sell his char, especially a player who was helped by a guild or a permanent party. I consider that it is fair to donate the character to the ones left in game. " 
      Reporter : "Do you think cheaters deserve to be forgiven? Here I refer to cases such as GROM or DEADCATS, guilds that had major impact on server."
      mafy : "I think everybody deserve a second chance. I would really love to see GROM and DEADCATS back. I think they had their punishment, bugs are solved, so I'm voting for a second chance for them, but still keep an eye on them." 
      Reporter: " Do you have any messages to send to friends, enemies or Admin Staff? "
      mafy :  "Yes, I have some messages for all of them : 
       Message for friends: Sorry for calling you noobs when you are doing something wrong    Message for enemies: I want to apologize to some players, cause I might be arrogant sometimes, but when someone mess with me he gets in exchange the same payment and I might sometimes to overdo it.  Message for Staff: Keep up the good working and maybe you can try to answer faster when we ask something   " Reporter: "I would like to end the interview with two challenges. Do you accept them?"
      mafy : "Just shoot ! " 
      Reporter : "First one : Imagine that starting from today OldSquad is your server, what changes would you make to improve this server? What would you do to attract more players? What would you improve on it?  "
      mafy : "At first sight everything looks just perfect in my opinion. Maybe I would make a small group with top active players on server and ask them about the game play every week. I wouldn't wait until ppl start complaining and shake things on the server.
      I will also tell you what I would love to see here. If I'd own the server, I'd do the next thing: I would try to make an EPIC MEGA ULTRA LEGENDARY edition by bringing here GROM, DEADCATS, SQUADRON and old Linkmania rival guilds - Regal and SCREAM. I would like to see a legendary database that can bring back a lot of oldschool players and combining with the players we already have in this community, and with the stable server like this one can be a combination that can last months and will still be fun!" 
      Reporter :" Second challenge :Name 3 guilds from the beginning of your "Old Squad Journey"  you admired  , some details would be nice. "
      mafy : "1. Regal - our old Romanian legendary guild, I was one of their member back then , they were only one edition here, first one as I remember, they were so well organised and so active that GROM at that time didn't counted at any event. I remember there were 800+ online and 2 sub-servers, and we always managed to kill Selupan, medusa and all other bosses on both servers all the time   I hope somehow they can be brought here again for one more EPIC edition.
      2. Squadron - They are always very organised, they used to plan everything in detail, nothing is just "random" for them, those are the main reasons they get the most powerful guilds in all editions . 
      3. GROM - Despite that since I ever know them they tried to use all advantages they can get, including bugs, they remain a force, they always manage to gather top active players and they are competitive every time they show up." 
      Reporter: "Thank you very much, mafy, it was a pleasure !"
      mafy : "Thank you also for the 1000$ that I got to accept this interview.🤣"
       I will end this interview saying that mafy is not only a top player, he is also a decent person that has a lot of humor!🤣🤣🤣

      Reporter got a reaction from uask4it in [Interview] mafy   
      This interview is about mafy, a pro player who made the strongest Summoner on Inception,  he owned his place in this NewsPaper Hall of Fame because he broke the last stages of the game at a very far away distance from the 2nd place (for example, when he entered in the last stage he had 5 resets in advance, compared to the 2nd place), he made the best Summoner on Inception and he is also ranked number 2 on general Reset Rankings, number 4 on general Hall of Fame Rankings (no 1 on Summoner Hall of Fame Rankings), and he also is present in top 5 on almost all other rankings that we have on website.
      Reporter: " Hello, mafy,  you have built the best Summoner on this server, Congratulations!!" 
      mafy : "Hello, Reporter, thank you for these appreciations and I'm honored to be in your NewsPaper Hall of Fame." 
      Reporter: " Can you tell us a short story about how you managed to climb in all those rankings and to get in top 5 on almost all  ?"
      mafy : "I've managed to climb in all those rankings by having a good permanent party, by having a flexible schedule and having active party members, so we could always go to events. We've managed to go complete all entries to bc,ds,cc almost every day.

Returning to the question, yes, this is my first time ever as Summoner. I also wanted to play casual this DB, but, again, a really good party in the beginning messed up my plans and turned it for me into a "hardcore" edition. "  
      Reporter: "I have some personal questions for you, do you agree to give us some personal details about the man behind that player?" 
      mafy : "Sure."  
      Reporter: "What is your occupation? Do you a have family ? How old are you? What encourages you to play this "forgotten" game that is kept alive only by old school "maniacs", like us ? " 
      mafy : " I finished the college and I got a diploma in automatics engineering. I'm 28 years old, I'm married and I have an one year old little boy. This is why I was so active this edition, he kept me close to home, I paused the long trips for a while, also going out every night and the drinks with friends were greatly reduced. For me the time spent with my family is the most important in the world  .😃  So from one of the biggest afkers  ( Psyke's competitor haha) and from the one who was carried by the team because of the lack of time,  I turned into a hardcore player for a while (like old times :D), and was my time to carry others. 
      What encourages me... I name it "MU VIRUS" once you start playing this game ( especially , the oldschool guys who started more than a decade ago) you can't stop playing it. Since more than like five years ago, on every database I say "ok, this is my last db ever. Time to stop playing this game", but really nice projects like Oldsquad servers and old players who ask me to play make me join again and again and over again. ^^ " 
      Reporter : "What are you doing for a living?"
      mafy : "I'm managing my own fitness club, so nothing to do with automatics engineering  that's just my back up plan, just in case, if I will ever need a full time job."

      Reporter : "At the beginning of the server you joined Squadron guild, what happened? Why did you left Squadron to join Rampage ? "

      mafy : "Yes, this CS V2 sounds really good, we will try to bring as many players as we can on the battle field. I also hope that all debts were paid between guilds and I think everybody (including staff) will want to see a first FULL CLEAN fight and the best to win, without any anti-game. I saw some problems inside PlayBoys, but I hope they manage to make a good team for this CS so we can see a 3 guilds fair fight for the first time in 5 months. I also hope ADMIN will record this expected epic fight. "
      Reporter: "What do you think about this new Castle Siege V2 ? "
      mafy : "This new CS V2 sounds really good, the staff doesn't stop to impress me (all of us, I think) with their innovative and unique ideas, you guys really MAKE MU GREAT AGAIN! "
      Reporter:"  Did you had any enemies in game on this data base? "
      mafy : " I can't call anyone from the server my enemy. I only have fun, I consider PK as a part of game, but many ppl take it personally. I can say that I had a time when I was hunting ATTACK, our guild was hunting them actually, because some of them are players with 2 faces. They were messaging us to stop killing them, but they were killing our ppl, or killing us in the night, or saying to a 10 y/o kid that will rape and kill her and her family, or something like that. They also had a time when they were only the anti-game guild on the server, first they talked to Squadron to help them against us, next week they message us that they will do everything against Squadron because they hate Squadron. But I think bad things went away when their toxic ex-leader was banned. As I know, his behavior was the only reason that started fights between our guilds. There is a Romanian proverb that says that "any green forest has its dry trees", in conclusion they also have nice ppl there, and as I said, it's just a game, I don't have a personal problem with any of them. I had only one uncontrolled rage at one CS, when I threw some bad words to Fane. I would like to apologize for that in this way. I hope he will read this. " 
      Reporter: "Have you ever had a moment in wanting to quit playing Summoner ?"
      mafy : "In the beginning, summoner was really weak and useless, but no way to quit playing it, despite that, this determined me to do everything to make it shine   Actually, there was a moment when Rusuletz quit , we needed 1 bk, so I was thinking to come back to my first love  , but I gave up and continued the journey with my character as it is, Summoner. " 
      Reporter: " Do you read the NewsPaper? What do you suggest to improve on it?"
      mafy : "There's always a pleasure to read your articles, you are doing a really great job! (even if sometimes you judge us in your articles and sometimes it seems like you are picking sides ). I suggest more interviews, they seem to be really fun. I also want to see there a topic where we can throw some questions for you, you select some of them and make your own interview. " 
      Reporter: " Haha, Reporter's interview! That is funny, people will say I invented questions for myself ^^(I am joking, ofc). I will consider this idea, but, please let's get back to you, it is kind of late and I still have few questions.  "
      mafy: "Yea, sure, let's move on.  "
      Reporter " You said in one of the answers that you gave me earlier, some players in your camp or even from your permanent party, were banned by Admin with the reasons that they "tried to sell items for real money". What is your opinion about this rule? Do you think it's unfair? "
      mafy : "This rule stopped the "black market". I think is a fair and a really good idea. A player should never sell his char, especially a player who was helped by a guild or a permanent party. I consider that it is fair to donate the character to the ones left in game. " 
      Reporter : "Do you think cheaters deserve to be forgiven? Here I refer to cases such as GROM or DEADCATS, guilds that had major impact on server."
      mafy : "I think everybody deserve a second chance. I would really love to see GROM and DEADCATS back. I think they had their punishment, bugs are solved, so I'm voting for a second chance for them, but still keep an eye on them." 
      Reporter: " Do you have any messages to send to friends, enemies or Admin Staff? "
      mafy :  "Yes, I have some messages for all of them : 
       Message for friends: Sorry for calling you noobs when you are doing something wrong    Message for enemies: I want to apologize to some players, cause I might be arrogant sometimes, but when someone mess with me he gets in exchange the same payment and I might sometimes to overdo it.  Message for Staff: Keep up the good working and maybe you can try to answer faster when we ask something   " Reporter: "I would like to end the interview with two challenges. Do you accept them?"
      mafy : "Just shoot ! " 
      Reporter : "First one : Imagine that starting from today OldSquad is your server, what changes would you make to improve this server? What would you do to attract more players? What would you improve on it?  "
      mafy : "At first sight everything looks just perfect in my opinion. Maybe I would make a small group with top active players on server and ask them about the game play every week. I wouldn't wait until ppl start complaining and shake things on the server.
      I will also tell you what I would love to see here. If I'd own the server, I'd do the next thing: I would try to make an EPIC MEGA ULTRA LEGENDARY edition by bringing here GROM, DEADCATS, SQUADRON and old Linkmania rival guilds - Regal and SCREAM. I would like to see a legendary database that can bring back a lot of oldschool players and combining with the players we already have in this community, and with the stable server like this one can be a combination that can last months and will still be fun!" 
      Reporter :" Second challenge :Name 3 guilds from the beginning of your "Old Squad Journey"  you admired  , some details would be nice. "
      mafy : "1. Regal - our old Romanian legendary guild, I was one of their member back then , they were only one edition here, first one as I remember, they were so well organised and so active that GROM at that time didn't counted at any event. I remember there were 800+ online and 2 sub-servers, and we always managed to kill Selupan, medusa and all other bosses on both servers all the time   I hope somehow they can be brought here again for one more EPIC edition.
      2. Squadron - They are always very organised, they used to plan everything in detail, nothing is just "random" for them, those are the main reasons they get the most powerful guilds in all editions . 
      3. GROM - Despite that since I ever know them they tried to use all advantages they can get, including bugs, they remain a force, they always manage to gather top active players and they are competitive every time they show up." 
      Reporter: "Thank you very much, mafy, it was a pleasure !"
      mafy : "Thank you also for the 1000$ that I got to accept this interview.🤣"
       I will end this interview saying that mafy is not only a top player, he is also a decent person that has a lot of humor!🤣🤣🤣
    3. Like
      Reporter got a reaction from Amnesia in [Interview] mafy   
      This interview is about mafy, a pro player who made the strongest Summoner on Inception,  he owned his place in this NewsPaper Hall of Fame because he broke the last stages of the game at a very far away distance from the 2nd place (for example, when he entered in the last stage he had 5 resets in advance, compared to the 2nd place), he made the best Summoner on Inception and he is also ranked number 2 on general Reset Rankings, number 4 on general Hall of Fame Rankings (no 1 on Summoner Hall of Fame Rankings), and he also is present in top 5 on almost all other rankings that we have on website.
      Reporter: " Hello, mafy,  you have built the best Summoner on this server, Congratulations!!" 
      mafy : "Hello, Reporter, thank you for these appreciations and I'm honored to be in your NewsPaper Hall of Fame." 
      Reporter: " Can you tell us a short story about how you managed to climb in all those rankings and to get in top 5 on almost all  ?"
      mafy : "I've managed to climb in all those rankings by having a good permanent party, by having a flexible schedule and having active party members, so we could always go to events. We've managed to go complete all entries to bc,ds,cc almost every day. I love a lot to do all events possible, and I always focused on all of them when I am online, including bosses, Castle Siege , etc. I find this the most attractive part of the game."  
      Reporter : " There are rumors that in previous editions you played BK and that this edition is the first one where you play Summoner, is it true?" 
      mafy : "Yeah, I used to play only bk for like 15 years ( with breaks, ofc). I've also had a try with AE on last 50rr edition here, I've just wanted to play casual on that db, but I had a good start with a really good party gathered in Lorencia at startup (with Lovise, WhiteBK, Mr.Cristian - turned to be a perma party). Lovise quit after a while, so I continued on his SM, but WhiteBK retired aswell, so I finished up on his bk. I can say I still played BK also that edition. Returning to the question, yes, this is my first time ever as Summoner. I also wanted to play casual this DB, but, again, a really good party in the beginning messed up my plans and turned it for me into a "hardcore" edition. "  
      Reporter: "I have some personal questions for you, do you agree to give us some personal details about the man behind that player?" 
      mafy : "Sure."  
      Reporter: "What is your occupation? Do you a have family ? How old are you? What encourages you to play this "forgotten" game that is kept alive only by old school "maniacs", like us ? " 
      mafy : " I finished the college and I got a diploma in automatics engineering. I'm 28 years old, I'm married and I have an one year old little boy. This is why I was so active this edition, he kept me close to home, I paused the long trips for a while, also going out every night and the drinks with friends were greatly reduced. For me the time spent with my family is the most important in the world  .😃  So from one of the biggest afkers  ( Psyke's competitor haha) and from the one who was carried by the team because of the lack of time,  I turned into a hardcore player for a while (like old times :D), and was my time to carry others. 
      What encourages me... I name it "MU VIRUS" once you start playing this game ( especially , the oldschool guys who started more than a decade ago) you can't stop playing it. Since more than like five years ago, on every database I say "ok, this is my last db ever. Time to stop playing this game", but really nice projects like Oldsquad servers and old players who ask me to play make me join again and again and over again. ^^ " 
      Reporter : "What are you doing for a living?"
      mafy : "I'm managing my own fitness club, so nothing to do with automatics engineering  that's just my back up plan, just in case, if I will ever need a full time job." 
      Reporter: "How did you found OldSquad ?"
      mafy : " As I remember, RedBuLL told me about it, and I started here in first db among all old players who came from the most famous Romanian server at that time." 
      Reporter: " What nicknames you had in past?""
      mafy : "I've always played with nickname "mafy". Last 50rr edition I had my AE named Wicked." 
      Reporter: "Did you had VIP activated since Inception started?? "
      mafy : "Yes, and I was able to farm enough credits to keep it activated all the time." 
      Reporter :" Do you think OldSquad servers are having a real play to win concept ? Or you think that only donors can get in top? " 
      mafy : "It depends. If you are a hardcore player, you can easily obtain everything you need without donating(Mu3rTe and me are some examples for Inception). But on the other side, if you are a casual player you can buy VIP and items from market, so you get in top and start being competitive in the easy way.   But I consider it being more play2win than pay2win."
      Reporter :"Do you have a permanent party? Do you have this permanent party since Inception started?"
      mafy : "I always play with a permanent party. I think this is the key to be competitive. Can't do everything alone, teamwork always leads to great achievements. I've changed 3 permanent parties because many of them quit, my actual party is with Mu3rTe, AdriaNN and Sparkle. "  
      Reporter: "What happened to your old permanent parties ?"
      mafy : " In the first perma party, we were only 3 active players: me, Ganacci and Fatman. Trompeta and WhiteBK, they were afk all the time, so after a while they said that they have to quit because of lack of time. After this, because of some misunderstandings in our party, Fatman deleted his char, so Ganacci quit aswell (he also didn't like some settings and considered this edition is too hard for his style). I was also close to quit, but I found Snook's party searching for members, so Fatman took Trompeta's char and we both joined them. After a while, Snook and his team was really busy so they hadn't enough time to play, so they were about to quit, and that incident with Snook made them all quit (TheKing, Snook and Alex). Mu3rte started to play, Makiavelli's party was also broken, so we started the last perma party - mafy, Mu3rTe, Makiavelli, Sparkle and AdriaNN. "  
      Reporter : "At the beginning of the server you joined Squadron guild, what happened? Why did you left Squadron to join Rampage ? " 
      mafy : "Yeah, I've played with Squadron guild before, I know them all, I still consider them all my friends, although some of them threw some bad words towards me  . Initially, RedBuLL told us about this new edition and we were supposed to join a whole guild from another server, but many ppl changed their mind in the last few days before the start, so we stared only 1 party here. Why I left Squadron? ... I'm not a player who jumps from guild to guild just for winning or having benefits, I have principles and I'm against compromises. As I said to Squadron members nicely, (was a party decision, not only mine) my party left Squadron to join Rampage because, first of all, RedBuLL told us about this new edition and he invited us to play here. Secondly,  RedBuLL is our friend for more than 10 years, it was obviously to follow him, considering these 2 reasons. "  
      Reporter: "There are rumors that there were strong quarrels inside Rampage that made you leave the guild,  are they true?  "
      mafy : "There were not strong quarrels, but yes, there were some fights inside guild that I didn't like, so I preferred to play out of guild for a while. I didn't left to join other guild. I simply preferred to play quietly for a while and it was the most relaxing time I had on this edition . "  
      Reporter : "Did those fights took place immediately after you won one of the battles for supremacy?"
      mafy : " Fights were since the beginning because of different visions and opinions. Winning didn't brought argues, they were already there, haha."  
      Reporter: " Do you believe in superstitions ? Do you think that the Castle is Cursed?" 
      mafy : "I don't believe in superstitions at all. I think the main reason why some guilds fail is the lack of organization and also because of the pride and the selfishness of some. "
      Reporter: " The population on the server has dropped in the last few months from 600+ characters on, to 300+ chars on, now it seems stable, what do you think is the cause of this population decline??"
      mafy : "You can't make a perfect server since the beginning... There are always things that need to be adjusted as the server advances, but many ppl can't understand this and at every problem there are some who quit. Every problem was solved sooner or later. Anyway, you can't please everyone. I also think that this is the range of a mu server life, 3-4 months, after this time they are slowly dying. " 
      Reporter: "After the Castle Siege that took place two weeks ago, you had a period when the most important Hardcore players (including you) were offline , the remaining active players left guild and now Hardcore looks like a guild scattered all over the server. What happened?  "
      mafy : "I went on a small vacation for 5 days, but I was also thinking yo quit when I saw that we are 5-7 ppl against whole server united.   But I returned and reconsidered, so I went back online    "
      Reporter: "At the Castle Siege from last week you fought against ATTACK guild, why?"
      mafy : "Yeah... it was our duty to return them that "favor". We were only 3 ppl trying to mess them, but they managed to win despite this, so I have to congratulate them for the organization and for bringing full squad there. It's the first time when I see them having identity, and it looks like a very good guild is born. Congrats! GG, WP "
      Reporter : " Can you give us some tips about Summoner stats build and ML skill tree for Summoner to be a top pvp character ? Can you reveal yours?"
      mafy : "My stats build was always a mystery (also when i played BK and not only on this server) and I like to keep it that way. That's why only a few close friends have access to my account and pc, only those I really trust!  .  I think there isn't a standard perfect build for a char. You must adapt your stats build with your style and also with your role in the team. It's also about experience, thinking and adapting to each situation. Two players can have same build and items, but there always will be one better than the other. You must find that little thing that can make you the winner. Things are even easier having the test server , that's another innovative way brought for us by Admin, where anyone can find the perfect build for him."
      Reporter : " Now I see you and Mu3rte online and active, will you try to fight for the castle again? " 
      mafy : "Yes, this CS V2 sounds really good, we will try to bring as many players as we can on the battle field. I also hope that all debts were paid between guilds and I think everybody (including staff) will want to see a first FULL CLEAN fight and the best to win, without any anti-game. I saw some problems inside PlayBoys, but I hope they manage to make a good team for this CS so we can see a 3 guilds fair fight for the first time in 5 months. I also hope ADMIN will record this expected epic fight. "
      Reporter: "What do you think about this new Castle Siege V2 ? "
      mafy : "This new CS V2 sounds really good, the staff doesn't stop to impress me (all of us, I think) with their innovative and unique ideas, you guys really MAKE MU GREAT AGAIN! "
      Reporter:"  Did you had any enemies in game on this data base? "
      mafy : " I can't call anyone from the server my enemy. I only have fun, I consider PK as a part of game, but many ppl take it personally. I can say that I had a time when I was hunting ATTACK, our guild was hunting them actually, because some of them are players with 2 faces.

      Reporter :" Second challenge :Name 3 guilds from the beginning of your "Old Squad Journey"  you admired  , some details would be nice. "
      mafy : "1. Regal - our old Romanian legendary guild, I was one of their member back then , they were only one edition here, first one as I remember, they were so well organised and so active that GROM at that time didn't counted at any event. I remember there were 800+ online and 2 sub-servers, and we always managed to kill Selupan, medusa and all other bosses on both servers all the time   I hope somehow they can be brought here again for one more EPIC edition.

      Reporter: "Thank you very much, mafy, it was a pleasure !"
      mafy : "Thank you also for the 1000$ that I got to accept this interview.🤣"
       I will end this interview saying that mafy is not only a top player, he is also a decent person that has a lot of humor!🤣🤣🤣

      Reporter: " Hello, mafy,  you have built the best Summoner on this server, Congratulations!!" 
      mafy : "Hello, Reporter, thank you for these appreciations and I'm honored to be in your NewsPaper Hall of Fame." 
      Reporter: " Can you tell us a short story about how you managed to climb in all those rankings and to get in top 5 on almost all  ?"
      mafy : "I've managed to climb in all those rankings by having a good permanent party, by having a flexible schedule and having active party members, so we could always go to events. We've managed to go complete all entries to bc,ds,cc almost every day.

      Reporter: "I have some personal questions for you, do you agree to give us some personal details about the man behind that player?" 
      mafy : "Sure."  
      Reporter: "What is your occupation? Do you a have family ? How old are you? What encourages you to play this "forgotten" game that is kept alive only by old school "maniacs", like us ? "

      mafy : "I've always played with nickname "mafy". Last 50rr edition I had my AE named Wicked." 
      Reporter: "Did you had VIP activated since Inception started?? "
      mafy : "Yes, and I was able to farm enough credits to keep it activated all the time." 
      Reporter :" Do you think OldSquad servers are having a real play to win concept ? Or you think that only donors can get in top? " 
      mafy : "It depends. If you are a hardcore player, you can easily obtain everything you need without donating(Mu3rTe and me are some examples for Inception). But on the other side, if you are a casual player you can buy VIP and items from market, so you get in top and start being competitive in the easy way.   But I consider it being more play2win than pay2win."
      Reporter :"Do you have a permanent party? Do you have this permanent party since Inception started?"
      mafy : "I always play with a permanent party. I think this is the key to be competitive. Can't do everything alone, teamwork always leads to great achievements. I've changed 3 permanent parties because many of them quit, my actual party is with Mu3rTe, AdriaNN and Sparkle. "  
      Reporter: "What happened to your old permanent parties ?"
      mafy : " In the first perma party, we were only 3 active players: me, Ganacci and Fatman. Trompeta and WhiteBK, they were afk all the time, so after a while they said that they have to quit because of lack of time. After this, because of some misunderstandings in our party, Fatman deleted his char, so Ganacci quit aswell (he also didn't like some settings and considered this edition is too hard for his style). I was also close to quit, but I found Snook's party searching for members, so Fatman took Trompeta's char and we both joined them. After a while, Snook and his team was really busy so they hadn't enough time to play, so they were about to quit, and that incident with Snook made them all quit (TheKing, Snook and Alex). Mu3rte started to play, Makiavelli's party was also broken, so we started the last perma party - mafy, Mu3rTe, Makiavelli, Sparkle and AdriaNN. "  
      Reporter : "At the beginning of the server you joined Squadron guild, what happened? Why did you left Squadron to join Rampage ? " 
      mafy : "Yeah, I've played with Squadron guild before, I know them all, I still consider them all my friends, although some of them threw some bad words towards me  . Initially, RedBuLL told us about this new edition and we were supposed to join a whole guild from another server, but many ppl changed their mind in the last few days before the start, so we stared only 1 party here. Why I left Squadron? ... I'm not a player who jumps from guild to guild just for winning or having benefits, I have principles and I'm against compromises. As I said to Squadron members nicely, (was a party decision, not only mine) my party left Squadron to join Rampage because, first of all, RedBuLL told us about this new edition and he invited us to play here. Secondly,  RedBuLL is our friend for more than 10 years, it was obviously to follow him, considering these 2 reasons. "  
      Reporter: "There are rumors that there were strong quarrels inside Rampage that made you leave the guild,  are they true?  "
      mafy : "There were not strong quarrels, but yes, there were some fights inside guild that I didn't like, so I preferred to play out of guild for a while. I didn't left to join other guild. I simply preferred to play quietly for a while and it was the most relaxing time I had on this edition . "  
      Reporter : "Did those fights took place immediately after you won one of the battles for supremacy?"
      mafy : " Fights were since the beginning because of different visions and opinions. Winning didn't brought argues, they were already there, haha."  
      Reporter: " Do you believe in superstitions ? Do you think that the Castle is Cursed?" 
      mafy : "I don't believe in superstitions at all. I think the main reason why some guilds fail is the lack of organization and also because of the pride and the selfishness of some. "
      Reporter: " The population on the server has dropped in the last few months from 600+ characters on, to 300+ chars on, now it seems stable, what do you think is the cause of this population decline??"
      mafy : "You can't make a perfect server since the beginning... There are always things that need to be adjusted as the server advances, but many ppl can't understand this and at every problem there are some who quit. Every problem was solved sooner or later. Anyway, you can't please everyone. I also think that this is the range of a mu server life, 3-4 months, after this time they are slowly dying. " 
      Reporter: "After the Castle Siege that took place two weeks ago, you had a period when the most important Hardcore players (including you) were offline , the remaining active players left guild and now Hardcore looks like a guild scattered all over the server. What happened?  "
      mafy : "I went on a small vacation for 5 days, but I was also thinking yo quit when I saw that we are 5-7 ppl against whole server united.   But I returned and reconsidered, so I went back online    "
      Reporter: "At the Castle Siege from last week you fought against ATTACK guild, why?"
      mafy : "Yeah... it was our duty to return them that "favor". We were only 3 ppl trying to mess them, but they managed to win despite this, so I have to congratulate them for the organization and for bringing full squad there. It's the first time when I see them having identity, and it looks like a very good guild is born. Congrats! GG, WP "
      Reporter : " Can you give us some tips about Summoner stats build and ML skill tree for Summoner to be a top pvp character ? Can you reveal yours?"
      mafy : "My stats build was always a mystery (also when i played BK and not only on this server) and I like to keep it that way. That's why only a few close friends have access to my account and pc, only those I really trust!  .  I think there isn't a standard perfect build for a char. You must adapt your stats build with your style and also with your role in the team. It's also about experience, thinking and adapting to each situation. Two players can have same build and items, but there always will be one better than the other. You must find that little thing that can make you the winner. Things are even easier having the test server , that's another innovative way brought for us by Admin, where anyone can find the perfect build for him."
      Reporter : " Now I see you and Mu3rte online and active, will you try to fight for the castle again? " 
      mafy : "Yes, this CS V2 sounds really good, we will try to bring as many players as we can on the battle field. I also hope that all debts were paid between guilds and I think everybody (including staff) will want to see a first FULL CLEAN fight and the best to win, without any anti-game. I saw some problems inside PlayBoys, but I hope they manage to make a good team for this CS so we can see a 3 guilds fair fight for the first time in 5 months. I also hope ADMIN will record this expected epic fight. "
      Reporter: "What do you think about this new Castle Siege V2 ? "
      mafy : "This new CS V2 sounds really good, the staff doesn't stop to impress me (all of us, I think) with their innovative and unique ideas, you guys really MAKE MU GREAT AGAIN! "
      Reporter:"  Did you had any enemies in game on this data base? "
      mafy : " I can't call anyone from the server my enemy. I only have fun, I consider PK as a part of game, but many ppl take it personally. I can say that I had a time when I was hunting ATTACK, our guild was hunting them actually, because some of them are players with 2 faces. They were messaging us to stop killing them, but they were killing our ppl, or killing us in the night, or saying to a 10 y/o kid that will rape and kill her and her family, or something like that. They also had a time when they were only the anti-game guild on the server, first they talked to Squadron to help them against us, next week they message us that they will do everything against Squadron because they hate Squadron. But I think bad things went away when their toxic ex-leader was banned. As I know, his behavior was the only reason that started fights between our guilds. There is a Romanian proverb that says that "any green forest has its dry trees", in conclusion they also have nice ppl there, and as I said, it's just a game, I don't have a personal problem with any of them. I had only one uncontrolled rage at one CS, when I threw some bad words to Fane. I would like to apologize for that in this way. I hope he will read this. " 
      Reporter: "Have you ever had a moment in wanting to quit playing Summoner ?"
      mafy : "In the beginning, summoner was really weak and useless, but no way to quit playing it, despite that, this determined me to do everything to make it shine   Actually, there was a moment when Rusuletz quit , we needed 1 bk, so I was thinking to come back to my first love  , but I gave up and continued the journey with my character as it is, Summoner. " 
      Reporter: " Do you read the NewsPaper? What do you suggest to improve on it?"
      mafy : "There's always a pleasure to read your articles, you are doing a really great job! (even if sometimes you judge us in your articles and sometimes it seems like you are picking sides ). I suggest more interviews, they seem to be really fun. I also want to see there a topic where we can throw some questions for you, you select some of them and make your own interview. " 
      Reporter: " Haha, Reporter's interview! That is funny, people will say I invented questions for myself ^^(I am joking, ofc). I will consider this idea, but, please let's get back to you, it is kind of late and I still have few questions.  "
      mafy: "Yea, sure, let's move on.  "
      Reporter " You said in one of the answers that you gave me earlier, some players in your camp or even from your permanent party, were banned by Admin with the reasons that they "tried to sell items for real money". What is your opinion about this rule? Do you think it's unfair? "
      mafy : "This rule stopped the "black market". I think is a fair and a really good idea. A player should never sell his char, especially a player who was helped by a guild or a permanent party. I consider that it is fair to donate the character to the ones left in game. " 
      Reporter : "Do you think cheaters deserve to be forgiven? Here I refer to cases such as GROM or DEADCATS, guilds that had major impact on server."
      mafy : "I think everybody deserve a second chance. I would really love to see GROM and DEADCATS back. I think they had their punishment, bugs are solved, so I'm voting for a second chance for them, but still keep an eye on them." 
      Reporter: " Do you have any messages to send to friends, enemies or Admin Staff? "
      mafy :  "Yes, I have some messages for all of them : 
       Message for friends: Sorry for calling you noobs when you are doing something wrong    Message for enemies: I want to apologize to some players, cause I might be arrogant sometimes, but when someone mess with me he gets in exchange the same payment and I might sometimes to overdo it.  Message for Staff: Keep up the good working and maybe you can try to answer faster when we ask something   " Reporter: "I would like to end the interview with two challenges. Do you accept them?"
      mafy : "Just shoot ! " 
      Reporter : "First one : Imagine that starting from today OldSquad is your server, what changes would you make to improve this server? What would you do to attract more players? What would you improve on it?  "
      mafy : "At first sight everything looks just perfect in my opinion. Maybe I would make a small group with top active players on server and ask them about the game play every week. I wouldn't wait until ppl start complaining and shake things on the server.
      I will also tell you what I would love to see here. If I'd own the server, I'd do the next thing: I would try to make an EPIC MEGA ULTRA LEGENDARY edition by bringing here GROM, DEADCATS, SQUADRON and old Linkmania rival guilds - Regal and SCREAM. I would like to see a legendary database that can bring back a lot of oldschool players and combining with the players we already have in this community, and with the stable server like this one can be a combination that can last months and will still be fun!" 
      Reporter :" Second challenge :Name 3 guilds from the beginning of your "Old Squad Journey"  you admired  , some details would be nice. "
      mafy : "1. Regal - our old Romanian legendary guild, I was one of their member back then , they were only one edition here, first one as I remember, they were so well organised and so active that GROM at that time didn't counted at any event. I remember there were 800+ online and 2 sub-servers, and we always managed to kill Selupan, medusa and all other bosses on both servers all the time   I hope somehow they can be brought here again for one more EPIC edition.
      2. Squadron - They are always very organised, they used to plan everything in detail, nothing is just "random" for them, those are the main reasons they get the most powerful guilds in all editions . 
      3. GROM - Despite that since I ever know them they tried to use all advantages they can get, including bugs, they remain a force, they always manage to gather top active players and they are competitive every time they show up." 
      Reporter: "Thank you very much, mafy, it was a pleasure !"
      mafy : "Thank you also for the 1000$ that I got to accept this interview.🤣"
       I will end this interview saying that mafy is not only a top player, he is also a decent person that has a lot of humor!🤣🤣🤣
    5. Like
      Reporter got a reaction from ADMIN in [Interview] mafy   
      This interview is about mafy, a pro player who made the strongest Summoner on Inception,  he owned his place in this NewsPaper Hall of Fame because he broke the last stages of the game at a very far away distance from the 2nd place (for example, when he entered in the last stage he had 5 resets in advance, compared to the 2nd place), he made the best Summoner on Inception and he is also ranked number 2 on general Reset Rankings, number 4 on general Hall of Fame Rankings (no 1 on Summoner Hall of Fame Rankings), and he also is present in top 5 on almost all other rankings that we have on website.
      Reporter: " Hello, mafy,  you have built the best Summoner on this server, Congratulations!!" 
      mafy : "Hello, Reporter, thank you for these appreciations and I'm honored to be in your NewsPaper Hall of Fame." 
      Reporter: " Can you tell us a short story about how you managed to climb in all those rankings and to get in top 5 on almost all  ?"
      mafy : "I've managed to climb in all those rankings by having a good permanent party, by having a flexible schedule and having active party members, so we could always go to events. We've managed to go complete all entries to bc,ds,cc almost every day. I love a lot to do all events possible, and I always focused on all of them when I am online, including bosses, Castle Siege , etc. I find this the most attractive part of the game."  
      Reporter : " There are rumors that in previous editions you played BK and that this edition is the first one where you play Summoner, is it true?" 
      mafy : "Yeah, I used to play only bk for like 15 years ( with breaks, ofc). I've also had a try with AE on last 50rr edition here, I've just wanted to play casual on that db, but I had a good start with a really good party gathered in Lorencia at startup (with Lovise, WhiteBK, Mr.Cristian - turned to be a perma party). Lovise quit after a while, so I continued on his SM, but WhiteBK retired aswell, so I finished up on his bk. I can say I still played BK also that edition. Returning to the question, yes, this is my first time ever as Summoner. I also wanted to play casual this DB, but, again, a really good party in the beginning messed up my plans and turned it for me into a "hardcore" edition. "  
      Reporter: "I have some personal questions for you, do you agree to give us some personal details about the man behind that player?" 
      mafy : "Sure."  
      Reporter: "What is your occupation? Do you a have family ? How old are you? What encourages you to play this "forgotten" game that is kept alive only by old school "maniacs", like us ? " 
      mafy : " I finished the college and I got a diploma in automatics engineering. I'm 28 years old, I'm married and I have an one year old little boy. This is why I was so active this edition, he kept me close to home, I paused the long trips for a while, also going out every night and the drinks with friends were greatly reduced. For me the time spent with my family is the most important in the world  .😃  So from one of the biggest afkers  ( Psyke's competitor haha) and from the one who was carried by the team because of the lack of time,  I turned into a hardcore player for a while (like old times :D), and was my time to carry others. 
      What encourages me... I name it "MU VIRUS" once you start playing this game ( especially , the oldschool guys who started more than a decade ago) you can't stop playing it. Since more than like five years ago, on every database I say "ok, this is my last db ever. Time to stop playing this game", but really nice projects like Oldsquad servers and old players who ask me to play make me join again and again and over again. ^^ " 
      Reporter : "What are you doing for a living?"
      mafy : "I'm managing my own fitness club, so nothing to do with automatics engineering  that's just my back up plan, just in case, if I will ever need a full time job." 
      Reporter: "How did you found OldSquad ?"
      mafy : " As I remember, RedBuLL told me about it, and I started here in first db among all old players who came from the most famous Romanian server at that time." 
      Reporter: " What nicknames you had in past?""
      mafy : "I've always played with nickname "mafy". Last 50rr edition I had my AE named Wicked." 
      Reporter: "Did you had VIP activated since Inception started?? "
      mafy : "Yes, and I was able to farm enough credits to keep it activated all the time." 
      Reporter :" Do you think OldSquad servers are having a real play to win concept ? Or you think that only donors can get in top? " 
      mafy : "It depends. If you are a hardcore player, you can easily obtain everything you need without donating(Mu3rTe and me are some examples for Inception). But on the other side, if you are a casual player you can buy VIP and items from market, so you get in top and start being competitive in the easy way.   But I consider it being more play2win than pay2win."

      Reporter: "What happened to your old permanent parties ?"
      mafy : " In the first perma party, we were only 3 active players: me, Ganacci and Fatman.

      Reporter : "At the beginning of the server you joined Squadron guild, what happened? Why did you left Squadron to join Rampage ? " 
      mafy : "Yeah, I've played with Squadron guild before, I know them all, I still consider them all my friends, although some of them threw some bad words towards me  .

      Reporter : "First one : Imagine that starting from today OldSquad is your server, what changes would you make to improve this server? What would you do to attract more players? What would you improve on it?  "
      mafy : "At first sight everything looks just perfect in my opinion. Maybe I would make a small group with top active players on server and ask them about the game play every week. I wouldn't wait until ppl start complaining and shake things on the server.
      I will also tell you what I would love to see here. If I'd own the server, I'd do the next thing: I would try to make an EPIC MEGA ULTRA LEGENDARY edition by bringing here GROM, DEADCATS, SQUADRON and old Linkmania rival guilds - Regal and SCREAM. I would like to see a legendary database that can bring back a lot of oldschool players and combining with the players we already have in this community, and with the stable server like this one can be a combination that can last months and will still be fun!" 
      Reporter :" Second challenge :Name 3 guilds from the beginning of your "Old Squad Journey"  you admired  , some details would be nice. "
      mafy : "1. Regal - our old Romanian legendary guild, I was one of their member back then , they were only one edition here, first one as I remember, they were so well organised and so active that GROM at that time didn't counted at any event. I remember there were 800+ online and 2 sub-servers, and we always managed to kill Selupan, medusa and all other bosses on both servers all the time   I hope somehow they can be brought here again for one more EPIC edition.
      2. Squadron - They are always very organised, they used to plan everything in detail, nothing is just "random" for them, those are the main reasons they get the most powerful guilds in all editions . 
      3. GROM - Despite that since I ever know them they tried to use all advantages they can get, including bugs, they remain a force, they always manage to gather top active players and they are competitive every time they show up." 
      Reporter: "Thank you very much, mafy, it was a pleasure !"
      mafy : "Thank you also for the 1000$ that I got to accept this interview.🤣"
       I will end this interview saying that mafy is not only a top player, he is also a decent person that has a lot of humor!🤣🤣🤣

      Reporter reacted to ADMIN in Patch 3.12.10.0 - CSV2   
      Release date: Anytime until Sunday's Siege.
      We're proud to introduce you our totally new concept related to CS that we've work on during last weeks. We really do believe that the new CS system will be much more fun, balanced, competitive, fair, rewarding and interesting compared to its previous state since WebZen created it (and we've adjusted a little in CSV1).
      Note: Even though we've announced that the new CS will be on Wormhole as well this week, we've decided that it is better to monitor only one CS at a time (as they are on the same time). Due to this, we've decided to let only Inception on the new CS on this week (and only next week on Wormhole).

      Note2: We consider the new system in BETA until it is played at least 2-3 times, so problems may appear as well as bugs/system crashes (taking into account the magnitude of the system), so we really need your feedback after each CS, where we will also be online to monitor it.
      Note3: On this CS, on Inception, CS will start with OldSquad as Defenders so everyone starts with same chances on this new system.
      Now, the part that you were all waiting, the actual CS changes, the CS V2 System:
      Improvements to LoT Permission concept: Now GM can give LoT access without the need of characters to be online/same server, only to exist. Note: It doesn't matter how you write the name in terms of upper and lower cases, just to be correct. Now you can join LoT only by command /lot. GM can give permission only to the characters that he consider 'worthy', ofc, he can grant permission to everyone from guild and not only. Exception: GM doesn't need permission to use /lot. Now GM can set the tax for entering LoT. By default tax is 300.000 Zen. Max tax that can be set is 15.000.000 Zen. Note: GM can use /lottax Number, where Number = a number between 300000 and 15000000.  Now when using /lot you will pay the set tax in zen to the CS Money (that can be extracted from Senior by GM). Note: 70% of the TAX goes into guild budget on Senior and 30% is server-tax, which is deleted. Now you'll be noticed when you are being granted with access in LoT or when your access is removed. Now when you remove permission in LoT from a player, if he is in LoT he will be moved outside of LoT. Note: Permission can be removed only if GM is on CS server (crywolf/valley/etc.)
        Improvements to Killers part of Gameplay: Now default kill points is 10 points. Now default kill points will be raised randomly during CS time (it will announce when it changes). This anomaly can happen between 17:30 and 18:30 only. There will be minimum 2 changes and maximum 4 changes during this hour. First change will happen at 17:30. Duration of a change is between 10 minutes and 20 minutes but at 18:30 points will get to normal no matter how much left from last change. The value of points will always be between 12 and 25 during change. It will be announced to participants when Kill Points are updated. Now normal kills will be DefaultValue-ResetDifference between targets. Minimum value is 2 points. Note: This means that if killer is higher in resets than the target killed, the points will go down with 1 point for each reset difference. Note2: If target is higher than killer the value remains maximum (the default value), it won't go higher. Now GM points is 5x default kill points (can't be lowered with ResetDifference). Now TANK points is 3x default kill points (can't be lowered with ResetDifference). Note: TANK rule is being BK or DL with VIT+AGI >= 60% of total points. Introducing CS roles: Now Guild Assistant is able to use /assist in order to teleport to his GM. Cooldown: 120 seconds. Now Battle Masters will always get the normal kill points value (ignoring reset difference) - apart from their AoE STUN access. Now GA's & BM's will give 2x default kill points when they are killed (if they are not tanks, else they give 3x). Note: Both GA & BM's are set in the moment when CS starts, any further change during CS won't change the effects to other players.
        Improvements to CS Gameplay: Now you can "feed" kill points to other participants only if your Guild does have at least 300 points. DEF Points updated: You get 1 point in first 30 minutes after initialization (17:15-17:44) You get 2 points between 17:45 and 18:09 (25 minutes). You get 3 points between 18:10 and 18:29 (20 minutes). You get 4 points between 18:30 and 18:44 (15 minutes). You get 6 points between 18:45 and 19:00 (15 minutes). Now if Defenders GM is out of room his team will only get half of DEF points per second as long as he is out of room. Example: If current DEF points is 3 per second, if GM is outside of room the team will only get 2 points per second. Example2: If current DEF points is 6 per second, if GM is outside of room the team will only get 3 points per second. Now if Defenders GM stays near crown throne (between 174x/214y and 178x/217y) his team will get an extra 1 point per second. Example: If current DEF points is 4 per second, if GM is near crown his team will get 5 points per second. Introducing CS Builds: Now all CS participants can make a free rebuild during each CS (anytime during CS, but you can't stay in Valley without doing the rebuild). This means that you can play any build of your character, depending on your guild strategy and what is needed at that CS. This also means that Tanks are no longer part of normal gameplay - anyone can play Tank for CS, GM's are no longer doomed to make a character only for 2 hours per week of fun, as well as the stampers. This builds aren't kept, so at the end of CS you will get back to your previous build. With this change we're aiming to "fix" multiple things: Encourage new guilds to participate at CS without the need to depend on random players to sacrifice their gameplay for TANK in order to have any chance at CS. Encourage PvM players to take part into CS despite their build being PvM for the rest of the time, increasing number of CS participants. Bring a layer of "freshness" on each CS, as strategies can be changed/adjusted after each CS, nothing being "meta" for too long. Note: All current TANKS characters can get a FREE rebuild. Condition: Be a DL or BK with more than 60% of total points in AGI+VIT. Contact us for the manual rebuild. FIXED all statues & gates default values & upgrades from Senior as well as buffed HP, Attack Rate & DMG of Canon Towers. Info: Statues starts with 1.500.000 HP, 80 DEF and 0% Recovery. With all upgrades (that costs JoG & Zen) a statue will have 5.000.000 HP, 550 DEF and 3% Recovery.  Gates starts with 1.900.000 HP and 100 DEF. With all upgrades (that costs JoG & Zen) a gate will have 5.200.000 HP and 520 DEF. Along with the fixes, we've also reduced the characters damage to gates/statues, so that repairing/upgrading gates & statues can bring a new layer of gameplay at CS for Defenders, that can opt to defend them and win extra time (& points). To compensate this advantage for Defenders, we are also adding 2 new advantages for attackers: Introducing Build Ban: Now The attacker with most sign of lord registered each week can BAN a build at that CS. This means that the banned build can't be used by all participants. Any build from the banned list can be banned including VDL/VBK, depending on everyone's strategy. Note: You need to register at least 300 Signs to be able to BAN a build, not only being first. Builds that can be banned (banned list): ESM, ABK, VBK, EE, AE, SMG, SDL, VDL, ERF, VRF. If a build is banned, characters from that class can't have more than 20% of total points in that stat. Example: If EE build is banned, an ELF with 32000 total points can't have more than 6400 ENE at that CS. Command for banning a build: /banbuild Build. Period for Build Ban is between Saturday 00:00 and Sunday 16:45. Note: If the highest sign guild doesn't ban a build between this period, no build will be banned for the CS. Introducing Handicap System: After each CS win, the winners will get a handicap for the upcoming CS. Handicap starts with weak punishments and goes harder as following: 1st win: On next CS the team starts with -800 points. 2nd win (consecutive): On next CS the team starts with -2000 points. 3rd win (consecutive): On next CS the team starts with -3500 points. 4th win (consecutive): On next CS the team starts with -3500 points and 2/3 of VIT limit for GM (if limit is 15k the GM will have a limit of 10k VIT). 5th win (consecutive) and onward: On next CS the team starts with -5000 points and 2/3 of VIT limit for GM. This Handicap system is aiming to reduce the time spent as CS winners for the same Guild. Now there is a maximum value of VIT that can be used at CS, depending on stage of the Game (Current Value: 15k). Exception: VRF. Now Town Portals will be deleted when you enter CS server. Now when you enter CS server if you have any Life Stones created they will be removed. Now after first 30 minutes, every 15 minutes the GM from the team with the lowest points at that moment will receive a Life Stone that can be used anytime during the CS. Note: If GM does leave CS server (switch char, disconnect, or going to server1) he will lose the accumulated life stones. Life Stone can be used by dropping it on the ground. After dropping it, it will take 1 minute for it to become "active". While a life stone is active, people that die from that guild will respawn from the place where the Life Stone is placed. Life stone does have 30kk HP and can be destroyed by opponents (before the activation minute as well). Now in order to access the CS NPC where you need to register signs (during signs period) you need to respect the following requirements: 1. Have at least 15 members in your Guild. 2. Have an average reset score bigger than 60% of top1 player resets. If you don't have those requirements you can't register signs, but you can still register to CS. Now Attackers that die at CS will respawn between end of the bridge and 1st line of gates. Now Defenders that die at CS will respawn between middle of 1st & 2nd gates and middle of 2nd & 3rd gates. Now in order to access the CS battle (stay in valley) you need to respect the following requirements: 1. Have at least 15 members in your Guild. 2. Have an average reset score bigger than 60% of top1 player resets. 3. Have at least 5 members from guild online on either valley or crywolf. If any of this requirements fails, you will be moved out from valley when you try to enter during CS. Checks are happening each 60 seconds (and you are noticed how many seconds left before next check). This last changes will (automatically) make it much harder for people to do "ghost" strategies, but still doable.
        Improvements to CS Rewards: Now if a CS guild makes over 4500 points at CS the GM will automatically get 7 days VIP at the end of CS if he is online (either extension to current VIP level or a new VIP for 7 days). Now at the end of CS, if the GM of loser guilds is online, he will get 1x GM Box for every 1500 points they made at CS (to split with the rest). Now at the end of CS, if the top3 killers are online & they have more than 300 points contribution (each), they will get 3/2/1 days VIP (based on their place) - either extension to current VIP level or a new VIP for 3/2/1 days. Also, the new Rewards System (not mentioned here) will be up on the next project/edition, that will change the vision about LoT.
        Improvements to CS info/messages: Now everyone can see current CS Points when they are announced globally (server 1 as well, not only CS players). Now current DEF Points and current Kill Points are announced everytime score is announced (only for participants). Now you can see current DEF Points and current Kill Points when you write /score. Now /score will only show teams that have at least 1 point. Now when writing /score you will also see your current points contribution to your team, as well as your current kills & the banned build. Note: Score will now show on the global along with current DEF/KILL points, and your contribution/kills & banned build as system message. Now CS winner will be announced on global (not only on CS server) - server1 can see it as well. It will also announce the runner-up with its points as well if it does exist. Now killing a GM/Tank will also show his name. Now killing a player will also notice you (points earned and player killed). Now there is a Top3 CS Killers (contributors) announcement on global each 5 minutes. It contains position, name, guild, points and kills. It is announced globally (server 1 can see the top as well). Now when DEF points are increased it will be announced for CS participants. Now when Kill Points are increased/decreased it will be announced for CS participants.
        Improvements to CS Characters buffs: Command DL build removed from CS server (useless). Mana Shield skill formula on CS server changed: Old: 2 + AGI/700 + ENE/3500, 30% max rate, 60s duration. New: 2 + AGI/800 + ENE/5000, 35% max rate, 90s duration. EE DEF skill formula on CS server changed: Old: ENE/20, 120s duration. New: ENE/18, 90s duration. EE DMG skill formula on CS server changed: Old: ENE/18, 120s duration. New: ENE/15, 90s duration. Sweal skill formula on CS server changed: Old: 10 + VIT/600 + ENE/200, 100% max rate, 60s duration. New: 5 + VIT/700 + ENE/250, 120% max rate, 90s duration. Critical damage skill formula on CS server changed: Old: ENE/30 + CMD/50, 60s duration. New: ENE/25 + CMD/200, 90s duration. Increase VIT skill formula on CS server changed: Old: 100 + ENE/4, 60s duration. New: 300 + ENE/7, 90s duration. Increase DSR skill formula on CS server changed: Old: 50 + ENE/10, 60s duration. New: 200 + ENE/14, 90s duration. Stern (stun) skill from Battle Masters changed: Old: 20 seconds duration, 4 kills required. New: 6 seconds duration, 10 kills required. Extra effect: People under Stern can no longer use Potions until it expires. Cancel stern kills required changed from 2 to 5.
        Extra CS changes: Crown changes: Old: GM lose 0.35 seconds accumulated on crown for every 1 second they are outside of CS room. Old: GM lose 1 second accumulated on crown for each miss-click on crown / lose of switch, etc. New: GM no longer lose accumulated seconds on crown when they are outside of CS room. New: GM lose 1.5 seconds accumulated on crown for each miss-click on crown / lose of switch, etc. CS Schedule changes: Monday 00:00 -> Wednesday 23:59 - Normal Register (at NPC) Thursday 00:00 -> Friday 23:59 - Signs of Lord period. Saturday 00:00 -> Saturday 23:59 -> Late Registrations (Website) - no signs accepted. Note: Manual registration rule for CS is now removed, the Late Registration from website is taking its place, with the same concept but now automatically. Note2: Period for Build Ban is between Saturday 00:00 and Sunday 16:45, if the highest sign guild doesn't ban a build between this period, no build will be banned for the CS. Maximum IP connections on CS server is now 1 instead of 2.
      As an END-note, we really hope that you'll like the new system and we can't wait to see it in action. Despite a lot of changes, we'll improve/adjust anything needed in the next period related to the new system, based on your feedback, until we have something 100%.

      Reporter got a reaction from Khabib in "The Curse" Back to Origins chapter XV   
      A new epic battle took place on this battlefield, called Valley of Loren, at the end of which rises the majestic castle. This castle that hides in it a terrifying curse, a curse that can crush strong guilds when it turns its attention to them, fills the hearts of warriors with venom, and makes the purest minds sick slipping inside them greed and vanity,  but also this great Castle, hides inside it a throne that every leader on the server dreams of, and those leaders who have it are living in the fear of losing it , because this throne together with the crown brings riches to which all the great warriors crave.
      This Sunday, Sk0pt was the leader who had to defend the crown and the pride of his people. They managed to bring and form 3 strong parties for the defense of the castle, although few but with hope inside hearts and a strong believe in their chances. They fought bravely to the end. On the other side, ATTACK guild, more ambitious than ever, brought about five parties with warriors that stormed the castle gates from the first minutes. In the first half of hour there was a tug of war, a fight in which both guilds strengthen their organization and strategies.
      The fight gets hot as the time goes by, but an unexpected event takes place: a Hardcore party comes and starts to mess the things up, these warriors have come to mess up the ATTACK guild's plans, some voices say that without having a deal with the PlayBoys, a guild that seems to start shaking and taking small steps behind, giving precious points to those in the ATTACK. After the appearance of this Hardcore party the score begins to be balanced again,  and the fight continues to be intense.
      ATTACK, being stronger, and because they brought more players than PlayBoys, they do not seem to be very morally affected and continued the assaults, whenever they lose the crown they are faster and stronger. The fight is near to the end, we are in the last 30 minutes and PlayBoys are at the helm, Fane and Sk0pt hardly register, although the Hardcore ones manage to prevent the ATTACK from taking switches, they manage to register in the last 10-15 minutes, the PlayBoys move slowly back to registration and if they could manage to put the hand on the crown one more time they would keep the supremacy... But... they fail and ATTACK gloriously win this fight by crowning Fane and ascending the big throne, ending the short domination of the PlayBoys and bringing a new era to Inception,  ATTACK era.
      Regarding Hardcore, I can only say that from the big guild that was once, they managed to bring only one party, and only for the purpose of making antigames, the former warriors of this guild being scattered throughout the server, left the guild in ruins and seems that the curse has reached its purpose, by leading the guild near the grave.

      The battle for server supremacy after "Squadron era"  has started since the beginning of the week. The power on the server is divided between three major guilds: Hardcore, ATTACK and the new PlayBoys guild, the latter was created from the active players who remained on the server from the great Squadron guild. Fierce fighting ensued between Hardcore and the other two guilds (ATTACK and PlayBoys), all three guilds dreamed to grab the crown dropped by Voyager. The fights that took place at night turned into prolonged fights, Hardcore provoking both opposing guilds to PVP and PK, making safe areas populated 24 hours a day by warriors from all three guilds, becoming the prey of the anger and revenge. 
      As in any war, everyone had to lose and no one to win, the battles were fierce and no one from these three guilds could not acquire experience. Time runs fast and the weekend is approaching, the Lord's sign records begin and on Saturday night the first surprise is triggered: ATTACK guild is removed from the game this time successfully by Hardcore. The warrior's eyes of these 3 guilds are glittering in the dark, looking to see the great crown  they wish to place on the head of their leader, and, of course, to sit on the great throne and together to rule the MU world.
       Sunday was quiet as usual before the breakup of hell. There were secret strategies on the chessboard that were due to be revealed during the war. In order to take part in this war for supremacy, those in the ATTACK who no longer had the chance to reach the top of the chain, allied themselves with PlayBoys and thus helped this guild to crush Hardcore ones who started the fight well, but they lost important points, being forced to step backwards. Playboys and ATTACK hit hard from start to the end, being helped by some warriors introduced into Squadron guild. They fought bravely and, with the two top guilds force on their side,  crushed and trampled on everything that was moving through their path. At the end of this battle, these warriors were raising Sk0pt to the highest possible rank, the master of Inception, and the ruler of the continent.
      Some rumors say that pride and arrogance has cost the Hardcore warriors the crown, these voices say that you cannot start a war with two equally strong guilds at the same time only if you are crazy, and they seem to be right. They also say that Hardcore had too few warriors with experience and it was another factor that led to their defeat.

      Over the grave of the Squadron era, a new era begins to flourish, the PlayBoy ERA, a new guild who was learning and taking advantage of the experience gained in that legendary guild, they knew how to play this fight in their favor and to speculate and gain an unexpected help (at least at the beginning of the week), a help from ATTACK, a guild that was pushed back by Hardcore, they had only two choices, to stand back and watch from distance or to get in fight and smash the enemy.  
      After this Castle Siege, Hardcore died, the most important players gave up the game for unknown reasons, so rumors are heard that ATTACK and PlayBoys will break the alliance and continue the fight for supremacy.

                                                                                                                                                      To be continued...

      Reporter got a reaction from Jawbreaker in "The Curse" Back to Origins chapter Xlll   
      The first steps on the beginning of the end of the game were taken and yet, three guilds took part in this episode of Castle Siege, again, from what I noticed Hardcore started a fight in recording the Lord's signs with 3 registered "shadow" guilds, with the intention to stop ATTACK in taking part in the fight, but they failed. ATTACK was managing to divulge and combat this attempt by registering far more signs of the lord than those in Rampage. The stakes are huge because only the Castle Owners can obtain 380 weapons for Wings Level 4. 
      Sunday came and the fight is about to begin, everyone is making plans, ATTACK has grown a lot lately, they recruited a lot of active players and they seem to not be the third guild anymore, they have entered optimistic in the fight and after the first hour they were in front of Hardcore, they have more "fresh blood"  inside, but still not enough to beat the eternal guild Squadron, more powerful, more organized, each warrior of the Squadron seemed to know what to do and how to play its part in this fight. There were like 5 minutes when Squadron guild's score was surpassed by the attackers tho, but they came back to line fast.
      At the end of the siege, Squadron retains its invincibility, this great guild has won another easy fight keeping the crown on Voyager's head for another week.
      Unfortunately, this was probably the last Castle Siege for Squadron guild on Inception server because earlier this week the most powerful players in Squadron (including their leader ) Voyager, Oklahoma, Zutto, FKinGCunT, Trippy and Sync announced their retirement, following this announcement made by Voyager none of the players mentioned above were seen online anymore and the active Squadron players had to regroup, so, from the remains of Squadron, under Sk0pt's, leadership a new guild comes to life, its name is PlayBoy and I am convinced that they will succeed to gather enough power to compete with the other guilds for supremacy on Inception.
      Hardcore seemed weak, and it seems that the strength of this guild weakens from one week to another, they are losing ground in front of those in the ATTACK guild.  In conclusion,  next Castle Siege announces a heated and a balanced fight between three top guilds with thirsty warriors which dreams to grab the abandoned crown and to place it on the head of their leader to make him The King of Inception.

      Reporter got a reaction from Mu3rTe in [Interview] Voyager   
      This interview is about Voyager, the invincible guild master of the best guild on Inception, it is a legendary guild and its name is Squadron. This guild led by Voyager dominated Inception since the start of mid-game period, until now, when end game period started.  
      Reporter: " From the beginning you led the Squadron firmly and managed to take it to the peaks of success, Congratulations!!"
      Voyager : "Thanks, Squadron always had one core team members who manage everything related with the guild. " 
      Reporter: " Can you tell us a short story about how you managed to bring Squadron guild back to Old Squad?"
      Voyager : " Well, it wasn't that hard, we all played together for the past few years, but we couldn't bring some of our key members and creators of the guild due to the lack of time (TwoCheeks, Mboopi, LastHope, Kenpachi and so on)." 
      Reporter: "Please, allow me to enter into your personal life and ask you a few questions. What is your occupation? Do you a have family? How old are you? What encourages you to play this "forgotten" game that is kept alive only by old school "maniacs"  like us ? " 
      Voyager : "I am from Bulgaria, living in the capital Sofia and turned 29 few months ago. I am not married, got one happy doge :slight_smile: 
      What encourages me.. well probably it is the nostalgia by playing it at so young age back in 2002-3. I must say that I was rolling this game since then with some little pauses." 
      Reporter : "What are you doing for a living?"
      Voyager: " I am working in an engineering company in the sales department."
      Reporter: "How did you found OldSquad ?"
      Voyager : "When I said little pauses, I have found the server in one website for MMO private servers. I tried it and from the first time my expressions was huge - found many friends and players on my age playing this game and having a good experience. This was 3 years ago and the first edition for me was the NonRR. " 
      Reporter: " What nicknames you had in past?""
      Voyager : "In my past I had different names and all was related with NASA space shuttle's missions - Voyager, Endeavour, Curiosity and so on. In OldSquad I was using Voyager mostly. Had funny times with moldovians in past 30rr who couldn't pronounce Voyager and they were calling me 'Boyagar'. " 
      Reporter: "Did you had VIP activated since Inception started?? "
      Voyager : "Yes, and I kept it activated in the first two months, depending on my team. " 
      Reporter :" Do you think OldSquad servers are having a real play to win concept ? Or you think that only donors can get in top? " 
      Voyager : " At the current state - no, back in few editions there were a higher chance you can obtain credits and more character options. I do not like the most of the changes in the past 2 editions (Inception and Phoenix). For sure there is a way to compete with the top players if you do not have VIP - but you have to play A LOT." 
      Reporter :" You know Mu3rte..., he started with 1 month + delay and he got ranked no1 pretty fast, isn't this play 2 win?"
      Voyager: " Mu3rTe is one man army, we have played together once and I was amazed how much time this guy invest in the game. For sure he played a lot when he started, but keep in mind also the stages who allows the new players to level faster compared to the rest of the server who plays since day 1.
      He is also a very good and skilled player in my eyes."
      Reporter : "At the beginning of the server I had the impression that there would be only one guild on the whole server, although there were 600 characters on, the top 40 was just Squadron, what happened? What made that Squadron break into pieces and how did you manage to gather what was left to fight with Rampage and eventually to dominate the server for so long?? " 
      Voyager : "Before the server launch we kinda had a full group of 25 players, including some of the people who went to RAMPAGE after. There were differences in the way we play and the way other people wanted to play, so we have decided to say goodbye to each other. It was really hard time for me in the next month to organize everything and continue growing so we can finish as winners in the Castle Siege and I couldn't do that without my team's help. For sure we all played hardcore in the first month, month and a half and we invested a lot of time and nerves to build this. " 
      Reporter: "When you won the first Castle Siege, I know that, initially, there were some fights lost by Squadron to the limit, what did you change at that Castle Siege when you defeated Rampage?  "
      Voyager : " Well, we were behind with players (we had less than them) and we fought hard to be able to compete with them in CS compared to their gear from the past 2 CS's they held.
      In two Castle Sieges we used a DL tank alone in a shadow guild so we can fight vs RAMPAGE + Assasins which was hard for us without using this tactic." 
      Reporter: " Do you believe in superstitions ? Do you think that  Castle is Cursed?
      Voyager : "I believe in many things but not in that. Many guilds failed due to the lack of organization. " 
      Reporter: " Have you ever been almost overcome by the curse?"
      Voyager : "No, as I said our guild leadership and organization is different than others and we deal quick with the drama or in the end we get rid of those who plant the seeds of drama    " 
      Reporter: "So, you had no struggles between the members right after you won the first siege? "
      Voyager : "No, there was a good hype after this victory which helped and motivated many people who doesn't have our experience and they can give up after few loses. To be honest, I prefer to be on the losing side, this way you give everything from yourself. " 
      Reporter:" Earlier you said that this server's play to win concept its not that real, are you saying that a player who wants to be a top guild master has to donate?"
      Voyager : " It is not the right way to compare a top guild master and a regular player who plays a lot without VIP and a player who invest money in the game. Being a GM in our guild means you got the support from other players in terms of in-game stuff. That's Squadron's policy and we do that for all the key players - we simply invest in them. I do not want to extend my words for the server's "play to win" meta cause there are ways to earn credits without paying a single dollar, but this applies for people who spends a lot of time here. " 
      Reporter: "What happened to Chukundah? Why did he quit the game so early?"
      Voyager : "Haha, he got a new job and he wanted to play more league of legends which caused his laptop to burn. 😂 " 
      Reporter: " What about Snajper, there was a lot of scandal about this player and his separation from Squadron, what really happened?"
      Voyager :"Well, the deal was that we invested in him somehow and he wanted to turn back on us."
      Reporter :" Some voices say that after he was helped, he became a traitor and that's why guild punished him, is that true? " 
      Voyager: " How couldn't you love those voices :)), as I said we invested in him somehow." 
      Reporter : " Can you give us some tips about Dark Lord stats build to be a strong Guild Master ? Can you reveal yours?"
      Voyager : "I am not the guy who should give any tips about Dark Lord, cause this was the first time in my life playing a DL. The thing which every player should do (if the server allows it) is to test every possible stat in the beta server which I did for the first 5,6 resets. After those test I knew what stats I should use till 10th RR. In the first 5 resets I was 60% dmg and when the server moved to its mid phase I sacrificed almost every STR into AGI and VIT, but not for long - as you can see in 27RR I have over 6k STR so I can still be able to  help my team in stamps.
      My current build was 60% VIT, 30% AGI and 10% STR so you can be able to kill people and farm alone in the same time. I do not consider myself as a strong DL or a Guild Master - everything I have done was a result watching other good DL's in the face of ProtoType and BSB. " 
      Reporter : "You are the only Guild Master that held Castle for months and still invincible! (0 deaths in CS rankings) /Respect!!!" 
      Reporter: "Why did you and your friends quit Inception?? "
      Voyager : "Heh, well we all got bored somehow, some of us were playing only for the CS and in the end we decided to take a break from MU. " 
      Reporter:"  Did you had any enemies in game on this data base? "
      Voyager : "That's the thing server missed - enemies. Administration made many changes which turned the server into PVM state and we couldn't enjoy of the PVP. One thing amazed me even more - when mercenary was introduced, people started to whisper me "Can you come davias and let me kill you, I got an quest". Possibly there are one explanation - the administration banished all dedicated players in the face of DEADCATS and GROM who was ready for PVP mash ups during the nights. My answer is NO - I didn't had any enemies. As far as I heard I am being hated from certain people but do not know the reason   " 
      Reporter :" What do you need to have in order to handle the challenges of a guild master to become the server leader ?"
      Voyager : "Can you be more specific about this question  'to become the server leader' ? " 
      Reporter :" You were the leader of inception, you still are the one! Leading the top guild to glory and owning Castle makes you top number one leader of server." 
      Voyager :" You have to be passionate and calm in order to achieve something as a guild master. Of course you can not do that alone - the help from your crew is very important." 
      Reporter: "Have you ever had a moment in wanting to quit being a Guild Master?
      Voyager : " Yes, there were some moments, a month after we have won vs RAMPAGE cause the pressure was really hard and it was focused on me and I really wanted to step down for a while." 
      Reporter: " Do you read the newspaper? What do you suggest to improve on it?
      "
      Voyager : "Yes, I am reading all your articles. I could suggest more detailed information about whats happening in the server but in general the idea of the Newspaper is good   " 
      Reporter: " Do you have any message to send to friends, enemies or Admin Staff? "
      Voyager : "Well, I already sent a message of my friends which I played with, about the enemies - don't think they care about my words. Administration - I would like to see a server setup like the oldest OldSquad editions - no restrictions, no DS camps and everyone should fight for everything -> that's Mu Online." 
      Reporter : "Do you want the Grom guild that cheated the hell out of all the expectations (hacking), that was stealing startups, stealing everything they could to get back on OldSquad? Would you like Admin to 'parole' them ?"
      Voyager: "I believe everyone deserve a second chance and OldSquad was build thanks to players like DEADCATS and GROM who left their trail. I would like to face them once again in the next NonRR which should be in a newer version."
      Reporter: "I would like to end the interview with a challenge. Do you accept?"
      Voyager :" Haha, if the challenge is without making me return playing in the server - yes, I accept." 
      Reporter :" No, no, name 5 players from the beginning of Inception you respect (not Squadron) , some details would be nice, and 5 players you dislike, we also want details "
      Voyager :" Tough question. I can't say I dislike anyone, Mu is a game where you can start admiring people who PK you overnight and have fun PVP fights
      The guys which I respect a lot is:
      1.Mu3rTe - played with and versus him in multiple editions and he proved to be a valuable player
      2.RedBull - we have similar characters and he is a nice guy
      3.AlmightySM - proved to be a skilled player in every edition I saw him
      4.MaSSaCre - was nice to play versus players like him
      5.CRIEEEE ofc - even with the multiple jokes we made of him - he still is a good guy who was one of the TOP MGs in each edition" 
      Reporter :" And the flop list? The one with the players you dislike the most? "
      Voyager :" Well, don't have such a list, there wasn't enough worthy people to make me dislike them, if I could add a name from other editions in my top respect list - that would be Mamed, i had enormous fun playing versus this guy. "
      Reporter : " So, you don't have a disgrace list, but you can make a list with the players you respect more since you started to play OlsSquad?" 
      Voyager : "Legion, Weew, BSB, Mamed, Soulka those are the players from which I learned a lot and had an enormous fun playing versus them. I do not have a flop list, I am really not that type of player who will dislike someone in mu online, I don't believe you can have such a list. "
      Reporter:" Thank you very much, "Boyager"   !" 
      Voyager:" It's Boyagar!!!" 
      Reporter: "Thank you, Boyagar!!!!!!!!!! And I hope I will see you again in next editions,
      cause OldSquad is about pro players and you are one of those!"
      Voyager:" Thanks, was a funny interview  I am far from one of those but thanks, I am playing only for the fun = )".

      Voyager : "Well, I already sent a message of my friends which I played with, about the enemies - don't think they care about my words. Administration - I would like to see a server setup like the oldest OldSquad editions - no restrictions, no DS camps and everyone should fight for everything -> that's Mu Online." 
      Reporter : "Do you want the Grom guild that cheated the hell out of all the expectations (hacking), that was stealing startups, stealing everything they could to get back on OldSquad? Would you like Admin to 'parole' them ?"

      Reporter: "I would like to end the interview with a challenge. Do you accept?"
      Voyager :" Haha, if the challenge is without making me return playing in the server - yes, I accept." 
      Reporter :" No, no, name 5 players from the beginning of Inception you respect (not Squadron) , some details would be nice, and 5 players you dislike, we also want details "
      Voyager :" Tough question. I can't say I dislike anyone, Mu is a game where you can start admiring people who PK you overnight and have fun PVP fights
      The guys which I respect a lot is:
      1.Mu3rTe - played with and versus him in multiple editions and he proved to be a valuable player
      2.RedBull - we have similar characters and he is a nice guy
      3.AlmightySM - proved to be a skilled player in every edition I saw him
      4.MaSSaCre - was nice to play versus players like him
      5.CRIEEEE ofc - even with the multiple jokes we made of him - he still is a good guy who was one of the TOP MGs in each edition" 
      Reporter :" And the flop list? The one with the players you dislike the most? "
      Voyager :" Well, don't have such a list, there wasn't enough worthy people to make me dislike them, if I could add a name from other editions in my top respect list - that would be Mamed, i had enormous fun playing versus this guy. "
      Reporter : " So, you don't have a disgrace list, but you can make a list with the players you respect more since you started to play OlsSquad?" 
      Voyager : "Legion, Weew, BSB, Mamed, Soulka those are the players from which I learned a lot and had an enormous fun playing versus them. I do not have a flop list, I am really not that type of player who will dislike someone in mu online, I don't believe you can have such a list. "
      Reporter:" Thank you very much, "Boyager"   !" 
      Voyager:" It's Boyagar!!!" 
      Reporter: "Thank you, Boyagar!!!!!!!!!! And I hope I will see you again in next editions,
      cause OldSquad is about pro players and you are one of those!"
      Voyager:" Thanks, was a funny interview  I am far from one of those but thanks, I am playing only for the fun = )".

      Reporter got a reaction from Khabib in [Interview] Voyager   
      This interview is about Voyager, the invincible guild master of the best guild on Inception, it is a legendary guild and its name is Squadron. This guild led by Voyager dominated Inception since the start of mid-game period, until now, when end game period started.  
      Reporter: " From the beginning you led the Squadron firmly and managed to take it to the peaks of success, Congratulations!!"
      Voyager : "Thanks, Squadron always had one core team members who manage everything related with the guild. " 
      Reporter: " Can you tell us a short story about how you managed to bring Squadron guild back to Old Squad?"
      Voyager : " Well, it wasn't that hard, we all played together for the past few years, but we couldn't bring some of our key members and creators of the guild due to the lack of time (TwoCheeks, Mboopi, LastHope, Kenpachi and so on)." 
      Reporter: "Please, allow me to enter into your personal life and ask you a few questions. What is your occupation? Do you a have family? How old are you? What encourages you to play this "forgotten" game that is kept alive only by old school "maniacs"  like us ? " 
      Voyager : "I am from Bulgaria, living in the capital Sofia and turned 29 few months ago. I am not married, got one happy doge :slight_smile: 
      What encourages me.. well probably it is the nostalgia by playing it at so young age back in 2002-3. I must say that I was rolling this game since then with some little pauses." 
      Reporter : "What are you doing for a living?"
      Voyager: " I am working in an engineering company in the sales department."
      Reporter: "How did you found OldSquad ?"
      Voyager : "When I said little pauses, I have found the server in one website for MMO private servers. I tried it and from the first time my expressions was huge - found many friends and players on my age playing this game and having a good experience. This was 3 years ago and the first edition for me was the NonRR. " 
      Reporter: " What nicknames you had in past?""
      Voyager : "In my past I had different names and all was related with NASA space shuttle's missions - Voyager, Endeavour, Curiosity and so on. In OldSquad I was using Voyager mostly. Had funny times with moldovians in past 30rr who couldn't pronounce Voyager and they were calling me 'Boyagar'. " 
      Reporter: "Did you had VIP activated since Inception started?? "
      Voyager : "Yes, and I kept it activated in the first two months, depending on my team. " 
      Reporter :" Do you think OldSquad servers are having a real play to win concept ? Or you think that only donors can get in top? " 
      Voyager : " At the current state - no, back in few editions there were a higher chance you can obtain credits and more character options. I do not like the most of the changes in the past 2 editions (Inception and Phoenix). For sure there is a way to compete with the top players if you do not have VIP - but you have to play A LOT." 
      Reporter :" You know Mu3rte..., he started with 1 month + delay and he got ranked no1 pretty fast, isn't this play 2 win?"
      Voyager: " Mu3rTe is one man army, we have played together once and I was amazed how much time this guy invest in the game. For sure he played a lot when he started, but keep in mind also the stages who allows the new players to level faster compared to the rest of the server who plays since day 1.
      He is also a very good and skilled player in my eyes."
      Reporter : "At the beginning of the server I had the impression that there would be only one guild on the whole server, although there were 600 characters on, the top 40 was just Squadron, what happened? What made that Squadron break into pieces and how did you manage to gather what was left to fight with Rampage and eventually to dominate the server for so long?? " 
      Voyager : "Before the server launch we kinda had a full group of 25 players, including some of the people who went to RAMPAGE after. There were differences in the way we play and the way other people wanted to play, so we have decided to say goodbye to each other. It was really hard time for me in the next month to organize everything and continue growing so we can finish as winners in the Castle Siege and I couldn't do that without my team's help. For sure we all played hardcore in the first month, month and a half and we invested a lot of time and nerves to build this. " 
      Reporter: "When you won the first Castle Siege, I know that, initially, there were some fights lost by Squadron to the limit, what did you change at that Castle Siege when you defeated Rampage?  "
      Voyager : " Well, we were behind with players (we had less than them) and we fought hard to be able to compete with them in CS compared to their gear from the past 2 CS's they held.
      In two Castle Sieges we used a DL tank alone in a shadow guild so we can fight vs RAMPAGE + Assasins which was hard for us without using this tactic." 
      Reporter: " Do you believe in superstitions ? Do you think that  Castle is Cursed?
      Voyager : "I believe in many things but not in that. Many guilds failed due to the lack of organization. " 
      Reporter: " Have you ever been almost overcome by the curse?"
      Voyager : "No, as I said our guild leadership and organization is different than others and we deal quick with the drama or in the end we get rid of those who plant the seeds of drama    " 
      Reporter: "So, you had no struggles between the members right after you won the first siege? "
      Voyager : "No, there was a good hype after this victory which helped and motivated many people who doesn't have our experience and they can give up after few loses. To be honest, I prefer to be on the losing side, this way you give everything from yourself. " 
      Reporter:" Earlier you said that this server's play to win concept its not that real, are you saying that a player who wants to be a top guild master has to donate?"
      Voyager : " It is not the right way to compare a top guild master and a regular player who plays a lot without VIP and a player who invest money in the game. Being a GM in our guild means you got the support from other players in terms of in-game stuff. That's Squadron's policy and we do that for all the key players - we simply invest in them. I do not want to extend my words for the server's "play to win" meta cause there are ways to earn credits without paying a single dollar, but this applies for people who spends a lot of time here. " 
      Reporter: "What happened to Chukundah? Why did he quit the game so early?"
      Voyager : "Haha, he got a new job and he wanted to play more league of legends which caused his laptop to burn. 😂 " 
      Reporter: " What about Snajper, there was a lot of scandal about this player and his separation from Squadron, what really happened?"
      Voyager :"Well, the deal was that we invested in him somehow and he wanted to turn back on us."
      Reporter :" Some voices say that after he was helped, he became a traitor and that's why guild punished him, is that true? " 
      Voyager: " How couldn't you love those voices :)), as I said we invested in him somehow." 
      Reporter : " Can you give us some tips about Dark Lord stats build to be a strong Guild Master ? Can you reveal yours?"
      Voyager : "I am not the guy who should give any tips about Dark Lord, cause this was the first time in my life playing a DL. The thing which every player should do (if the server allows it) is to test every possible stat in the beta server which I did for the first 5,6 resets. After those test I knew what stats I should use till 10th RR. In the first 5 resets I was 60% dmg and when the server moved to its mid phase I sacrificed almost every STR into AGI and VIT, but not for long - as you can see in 27RR I have over 6k STR so I can still be able to  help my team in stamps.
      My current build was 60% VIT, 30% AGI and 10% STR so you can be able to kill people and farm alone in the same time. I do not consider myself as a strong DL or a Guild Master - everything I have done was a result watching other good DL's in the face of ProtoType and BSB. " 
      Reporter : "You are the only Guild Master that held Castle for months and still invincible! (0 deaths in CS rankings) /Respect!!!" 
      Reporter: "Why did you and your friends quit Inception?? "
      Voyager : "Heh, well we all got bored somehow, some of us were playing only for the CS and in the end we decided to take a break from MU. " 
      Reporter:"  Did you had any enemies in game on this data base? "
      Voyager : "That's the thing server missed - enemies. Administration made many changes which turned the server into PVM state and we couldn't enjoy of the PVP. One thing amazed me even more - when mercenary was introduced, people started to whisper me "Can you come davias and let me kill you, I got an quest". Possibly there are one explanation - the administration banished all dedicated players in the face of DEADCATS and GROM who was ready for PVP mash ups during the nights. My answer is NO - I didn't had any enemies. As far as I heard I am being hated from certain people but do not know the reason   " 
      Reporter :" What do you need to have in order to handle the challenges of a guild master to become the server leader ?"
      Voyager : "Can you be more specific about this question  'to become the server leader' ? " 
      Reporter :" You were the leader of inception, you still are the one! Leading the top guild to glory and owning Castle makes you top number one leader of server." 
      Voyager :" You have to be passionate and calm in order to achieve something as a guild master. Of course you can not do that alone - the help from your crew is very important." 
      Reporter: "Have you ever had a moment in wanting to quit being a Guild Master?
      Voyager : " Yes, there were some moments, a month after we have won vs RAMPAGE cause the pressure was really hard and it was focused on me and I really wanted to step down for a while." 
      Reporter: " Do you read the newspaper? What do you suggest to improve on it?
      "
      Voyager : "Yes, I am reading all your articles. I could suggest more detailed information about whats happening in the server but in general the idea of the Newspaper is good   " 
      Reporter: " Do you have any message to send to friends, enemies or Admin Staff? "

      Reporter got a reaction from ADMIN in "The Curse" Back to Origins chapter Xll   
      I am in Lorencia, probably the oldest land of this continent, called Mu. It is a small part from Lemuria that's the continent where it all started, I am near the entrance to the dreaded territory , "no mans land" is also called and its name is Valley of Loren.  Everything begins there and everything ends in this magic land. This Sunday is a quiet one,  resting on the whole server, whispers are heard in the deaf, everyone is making plans, strategies, the hour of the battle is approaching and nothing except this fact does not count on the whole continent. I feel the vibe of the battle, a fight in which all the true warriors take part to reach even if they die on the eternal wall of the heroes.
      I carry with me hope, the only hope , it is that the skirmishes are not true and the rumors are just fairy tales for children, I hope that The Curse can be defeated, one of the legendary guilds, named Squadron, seems to have the antidote, they fought bravely, they are brave, they already have the supremacy for months, they dominated the continent, almost from its head to the tail and thus other myths are born, as if they had made a pact with the curse, these voices claim that there is no antidote, only the middle way, but they rule this server and they're united, more united than all other guilds. They are proud and they have reasons to be, cause no one can stand up against them.
      I am in front of the entrance , and I hold my hand firmly on the door, I push it and I step inside: screams are crushing my ears, sounds made of swords crossed with another spelled metal are lost in shields, screams born from anger and pride of the defeated heroes are heard.
      I am trying to get to the bridge that leads to the castle, as fast as possible. I finally managed to get there and I see only injured warriors, the smell of blood and burnt flesh is smashing my nose, wounded warriors trying to heal or to find potions for it , they try to recover, to get back into the front line as quickly as possible. The fight is heated, I disguise myself in the armor received from the Admin, and enter inside the throne room, a bloody fight takes place here, ATTACK and Hardcore still attacking, the points are divided, already one hour passed since this epic fight for supremacy started and everyone still have hope.
      All the attacks ended in Squadrons defense, they are faster, more organized, stronger. Squadron begins to have good advantage and time starts to pass on their side , but nobody gives back, Squadron knows how to use all the advantages of the game, their Dark Lords are using their skills better than any other, protecting the switches, if they succeed means no one can kneel them. If using the power of Dark Lords horses intelligently to take and defend the switches, Squadron's warriors are impossible to be defeated, time passes and no one can reach Voyager's crown.
      At the end of this fight, Squadron team wins, again, this time easily because they have the stronger core and because there is not yet a guild organized enough to deal with them.
      In the past, this legendary guild named Squadron was the only obstacle in front of the GROM guild, now they are invincible, but back then they were torn by others and their start on Inception was apathetic, they made many mistakes, but now, these warriors are fighting to honor the legendary name they wear above their heads, a name that was and will always be legendary on the Old Squad.
      After this Castle Siege, ATTACK guild started to be hunted by Hardcore top players and safe zones became more populated than ever. There are rumors that ATTACK played this time on Squadron's side (it is not like Squadron leaders wanted this), but the ATTACK guild focused more on entangling Hardcore and aroused their anger, so after the Castle Siege a not-so-cold war started between Hardcore and ATTACK, mafy and Mu3rTe killing them everywhere . 
      At the end I will lift my hat and I will throw it away!  Good job to all guilds! If Squadron continue like this until the end of OldSquad, it will probably prove that they have the antidote and that the curse cannot bring them wounds !!

      I am trying to get to the bridge that leads to the castle, as fast as possible. I finally managed to get there and I see only injured warriors, the smell of blood and burnt flesh is smashing my nose, wounded warriors trying to heal or to find potions for it , they try to recover, to get back into the front line as quickly as possible. The fight is heated, I disguise myself in the armor received from the Admin, and enter inside the throne room, a bloody fight takes place here, ATTACK and Hardcore still attacking, the points are divided, already one hour passed since this epic fight for supremacy started and everyone still have hope.
      All the attacks ended in Squadrons defense, they are faster, more organized, stronger. Squadron begins to have good advantage and time starts to pass on their side , but nobody gives back, Squadron knows how to use all the advantages of the game, their Dark Lords are using their skills better than any other, protecting the switches, if they succeed means no one can kneel them. If using the power of Dark Lords horses intelligently to take and defend the switches, Squadron's warriors are impossible to be defeated, time passes and no one can reach Voyager's crown.
      At the end of this fight, Squadron team wins, again, this time easily because they have the stronger core and because there is not yet a guild organized enough to deal with them.
      In the past, this legendary guild named Squadron was the only obstacle in front of the GROM guild, now they are invincible, but back then they were torn by others and their start on Inception was apathetic, they made many mistakes, but now, these warriors are fighting to honor the legendary name they wear above their heads, a name that was and will always be legendary on the Old Squad.
      After this Castle Siege, ATTACK guild started to be hunted by Hardcore top players and safe zones became more populated than ever. There are rumors that ATTACK played this time on Squadron's side (it is not like Squadron leaders wanted this), but the ATTACK guild focused more on entangling Hardcore and aroused their anger, so after the Castle Siege a not-so-cold war started between Hardcore and ATTACK, mafy and Mu3rTe killing them everywhere . 
      At the end I will lift my hat and I will throw it away!  Good job to all guilds! If Squadron continue like this until the end of OldSquad, it will probably prove that they have the antidote and that the curse cannot bring them wounds !!

      Reporter got a reaction from Khabib in "The Curse" Back to Origins chapter Xll   
      I am in Lorencia, probably the oldest land of this continent, called Mu. It is a small part from Lemuria that's the continent where it all started, I am near the entrance to the dreaded territory , "no mans land" is also called and its name is Valley of Loren.  Everything begins there and everything ends in this magic land. This Sunday is a quiet one,  resting on the whole server, whispers are heard in the deaf, everyone is making plans, strategies, the hour of the battle is approaching and nothing except this fact does not count on the whole continent. I feel the vibe of the battle, a fight in which all the true warriors take part to reach even if they die on the eternal wall of the heroes.
      I carry with me hope, the only hope , it is that the skirmishes are not true and the rumors are just fairy tales for children, I hope that The Curse can be defeated, one of the legendary guilds, named Squadron, seems to have the antidote, they fought bravely, they are brave, they already have the supremacy for months, they dominated the continent, almost from its head to the tail and thus other myths are born, as if they had made a pact with the curse, these voices claim that there is no antidote, only the middle way, but they rule this server and they're united, more united than all other guilds. They are proud and they have reasons to be, cause no one can stand up against them.

      Reporter got a reaction from dlwlrma in [Interview] Makiavelli   
      This interview is about Makiavelli, one of the best Magic Gladiator players that Old Squad has ever had , he is ranked top number one on Magic Gladiator reset ranking, Blood Castle rankings, and second ranked on hall of fame main (he owns 10 Hall of Fame trophies at this moment), and he is also a stage breaker. 
      Reporter: "Hello, Makiavelli ! At this moment you are ranked as number one on MG reset rankings, on Blood Castle and second ranked on hall of fame, congratulations! "

      Makiavelli: " Hello, Reporter, and thank you! "
      Reporter : " Can you reveal us your name and age? "
      Makiavelli : " Of course, my name is Marius and  I`m 28  ."
      Reporter: "How much time do you spend/day playing mu OldSquad (average)? "
      Makiavelli : "  When I play mu I`m very dedicated and I play it a lot, that`s why after every DB I play I usually take a break for atleast a few months in which I don't even touch the PC "
      Reporter: "What do you do in real life for a living?"
      Makiavelli: "I`m a dentist. "
      Reporter : "When did you start to play Mu Online? "
      Makiavelli: "I can`t remember exactly, but I think around 2004. "
      Reporter : "How did you find OldSquad ?"
      Makiavelli: "I think my friend RedBuLL was the one who told me about OS in 2015 or 2016. "
      Reporter :"What nicknames did you have in the past?"" 
      Makiavelli:" I`ve had Makiavelli for years, krazee before that, many others in the past."
      Reporter: "Since 2015 when you started to play OS, have you played on any other servers? 
      Makiavelli:"I only had an attempt to play other server which opened while i was waiting for OS and as soon as OS was ready i played them both at the same time. There was a conflict in the antihacks of the servers or something like that and sometimes my client would get closed so I couldn`t afk properly. The decision was very easy to make, i quit the other server and stayed on OS, which is the only server that i would play now. "
      Reporter :"Why did you choose this server?"
      Makiavelli:" There`s a lot of work put in this servers since it started and I like the settings more than any other server I`ve ever played
      and even though I`d very much like to play a S14 I only enjoy mu on OS in the last years so im willing to play it even on S6"
      Reporter: "Do you have any VIP activated? You have this VIP since you started Inception?"
      Makiavelli:"Yes, I have PRO vip activated since it first came up, before that i juggled between dealer and hunter, depending on the stage of the game. "
      Reporter: " How did you manage to achieve so many hall of fame trophies? Can you reveal us "the secret"?  "
      Makiavelli: "You just have to be active and have proper builds/gameplay: either for PVP (arena) or PVE (BC/DS/CC). Testing is the key to everything, someone beat you in something, either pve or pvp event, go to test server and find out what happened - you can at least do as good as he did . "
      Reporter :"Since you are top one Magic Gladiator player on the server, can you reveal us a few tips about Magic Gladiator pvp build? Can you reveal your stats ?"
      Makiavelli: "My stats were constantly changing untill I found what I think is the perfect stats build for sMG , a build that allows  me to do proper PVE/PVP and also hold a switch at CS  and I think its fair on servers with reset limit or non-reset that players make their own builds. I`ve never asked anybody about their build and I don`t want to reveal mine either. About pvp build, it`s easy to find the best one by testing builds in duels on pvp servers."
      Reporter :"What advice would you give to a player playing on this server for the first time, what should he do to get to the top places? How should he build stats on Magic Gladiator in the beginning  ?"
      Makiavelli:"sMG can be better than eMG in everything, except holding a spot, so my advice is to go sMG since you can find a nice party to take care of the spot killing, also considering there is a bonus xp in party. To get to the top places you should find a stable party with people that you trust so you can share your accounts and try having somebody online to take care of the party most of the time. You should not skip any bc`s/ds`s, you got 3/24h so it shouldn`t be so hard if you organise your time properly, and if that is not enough, you should get a PRO vip that let`s you go 4 times into these events. If you can't find a stable party you can still do it on your own, it`s gonna take more of your time but it can be done. "
      Reporter :"What characters do you think are the best on pvp ? 
      Makiavelli:" "In my oppinion any character that is played well can be very good in pvp but if I have to choose 1 class, it`s gonna be BK."
      Reporter :"You are number one on Blood Castle rankings, can you tell us how have you accomplished that?"
      Makiavelli: "Well, I`ve only missed very few  BCs since the server started and I`ve always been high ranked in resets so my damage was always above average, allowing me to take the statue many times."
      Reporter: "Several weeks ago you were ranked number on on main reset rankings with a decent gap between rest of server, what happened?"
      Makiavelli: "I`ve had some time off, had a long vacation in which I lost a lot in ranks, but the gap you`re talking about helped, so I never got far from the first places."
      Reporter: " Do you still have have a permanent party ? 
      Makiavelli:"Yes, I still do have a permanent party with @Sparkle, @mafy, @Mu3rte,  but it's not like it was in the beginning. Some are doing resets, some are doing ML, but we help each other, and I see it as a stable party. "
      Reporter: " What happened to your old mates, RedBuLL, RuSuLeTzZz, TzaPusHH , MasSacre and Obraznic ?"
      Makiavelli:" RedBuLL had a lot of work to do from the beginning of the server, he just wanted to play it with us cause he loves this server and he likes playing with us, as I do with him, but not long ago he decided it`s not worth to spend the little time that he has for himself staying on a PC, but he is still around to help whenever we ask for it.  Rusuletz quit game because of many reasons that I don`t want to speak about, but mainly because he started working and he is the kind of player that either plays active or doesn`t play at all. I`m that kind of player too. Tzapush ... you would have to ask him, I have no idea what happened there, temporary insanity or something. Obraznic tryied to sell a set for real money and he got banned, he did not have the approval of any of us and that`s all I have to say about this. Massacre didn`t have much time from the begining, but he started playing after I`ve asked him to several times so his presence here was shady from the start."
      Reporter :"Why Rampage disbanded? "
      Makiavelli: "A lot of players quit, some players tried to sell for real money and got banned, the energy there wasn`t good anymore. We disbanded it and choose to take it easy for a while, now we have a very nice group, here in H4RDC0RE the energy is really nice, and it`s a pleasure for me to play with these guys. We are not as strong as we were when we were winning the castle siege, but we are getting there, we didn`t abandon the fight for castle, nor will we. "
      Reporter : " Do you read the News Paper ? "
      Makiavelli:"Yes, I enjoy reading the newspaper, it`s something special that I haven`t seen anywhere else. "
      Reporter : " Do you believe in superstitions? Do you think that the Castle is Cursed? "
      Makiavelli:"I don`t believe in superstitions, but I find this amusing and I enjoy reading the posts though. "
      Reporter : " Did you see what happened to the guilds that held the castle? If it is not the "curse" (which can be defined by greed, selfishness and pride), what could it be to destroy the most of the guilds in that way?"
      Makiavelli: "The more you win it, the less you want it. The more you lose it, the more you want it.That`s how i see it. "
      Reporter: " Squadron is your enemy guild now?"
      Makiavelli:"Yes, they are our enemy guild this database, even though we have played together in the past. I still have friends and people I respect in that guild, even thought they did not take attitude when the administration of Squadron did some very shitty things like show 0 respect to my party, which helped them before and this database too, or steal items and credits from Snajper when they found out he was going to join us. After these events, and others, and losing CS several times to us, what they did is even more mind blowing to me - they allied with ATTACK and then deny several times that they did until Colossus confessed it all on forum and they didn`t even pay them what they promised for their help from what I know. It was not even only the normal help to come and play against us ,they were killing their GM and the GM of their secondary guild to make points.Everything is allowed at CS so we never said that this is not fair, but these are some stains on their chicks and I`d like people to remember it. "
      Reporter : "There are rumors that the ATTACK guild is allied with HARDCORE, are they true?"
       Makiavelli :" We are not allied and we never were, I remember some of them wanted to help us after Squadron mocked them and they offered their services but nothing synthesized."
      Reporter: " Do  you think that your guild can win next Castle Siege? "
      Makiavelli : "I know they can be defeated in the next siege, we beat them before and we could have beat them a lot more times. They did not win because they were too good, they won because we messed up big time on so many different occasions, and it is only our fault we lost but server`s still up and going, as I said before, we have a nice team now and I have high hopes that we`re gonna win the next castle siege. Nobody is crying for the castle but it's a thing of honor."
      Reporter :"What do you suggest to improve on NewsPaper ?"
      Makiavelli: "I don`t see myself in any capacity to give advice on how to improve a newspaper. You are doing a great job, just keep on doing what you`re doing and all is good,or at least that`s how I feel about it. "
      Reporter: "On a scale from 1 to 10, how much do you like Inception?"
      Makiavelli:"I like non-reset servers and I`ve played an amazing non-reset here on OS that I'd give 10. I`ve had bad thoughts of Inception at times, like when the aRF was 2hitting everybody and at an immense range, but watching the big picture now I see some very interesting stuff made with builds. Many people are crying that some chars are OP but if you pay attention you will see that they are OP only in front of other classes, or even if they outpower all other classes is just for a limited amount of time. For example at first was BK and MG, after that it was aRF, updates made and now is vRF instead of him, SM also got really strong, people already got some + 15 sockets and once slots will be filled with seeds, vRF will take a step back, and DL/SM/Summ era will begin. BK will always be at least a good tank. I don`t want to miss this opportunity to congratulate all OS team for their hard work with an accent on mercenary and gens systems, I like them a lot. "
      Reporter: " What would you change to this server? What do you expect from the following servers?"
      Makiavelli:"I guess I`d eliminate some of the Premium options on website like Change class/Change Name, I`d make the online Blacksmith at a max item upgrading of + 11, remove the add luck option completely, cause in my opinion,
      it makes one of the best options in game be worthless to any very active or willing to donate some money players in game. Some new systems were installed this db and although they are very nice they created a few bugs, some of which were already solved fast or a compromise solution has been found for them for example the case of BC bug, so what I expect from the following servers is  two things : 1:the same dedication of the team to solve major problems and 2: Season 14 as fast as possible on OS.
      Reporter: " What do you think about this new rule related to the sale of items / accounts for real money? The buyer receives free of charge what the seller offers if he reports to Admin."
      Makiavelli :" This rule can be very unpleasant for some players who have done nothing wrong and I know this for a fact because it has happened to me when some players from our team got banned for this reason and all the items,even a very high character at that time ended up in the hands of the players who we were playing against. Some would say that it is my fault for choosing the wrong guys to play with but everybody should know by now that people can hide their true faces very well so I don`t consider it my fault. Although this rule can be unpleasant for people who don't deserve it, I fully agree with it because I don't see a better way to stop this real money market." 
      Reporter: "So you are against "black market" ?
      Makiavelli :"  I don't have anything against someone who would sell/buy character/items on black market but these are the rules and I think it would be best for everybody if there wasn't a black market." 
      Reporter: "There are some rumors on the server that say VIP affects the concept of "play-to-win gameplay", what do you think of these rumors? Can a player who is active reach the top without donating? " 
      Makiavelli :" I don't think VIP affects the concept of "play-to-win gameplay", first of all because the stages system help a lot all the players who are behind and secondly because there is a market where you can trade basically anything for credits or consumables, so if you are a good merchant you can always have VIP without spending any money. When someone spends years on a project that he shares, I find it normal that he should receive some compensation for his work and I know that these days very few people would give something if they don't receive something in return, for example they like some artists but they have never bought an album to support the guy, online is so easy and cheap. I buy albums of my favourite artists just to support them even though I got all the songs in playlists on Youtube and I also donate when my VIP period is over,even if i have credits, because I see it as a support to the server, and I can also use the credits I already have for other stuff that I need." 
      Reporter: "Thanks for this interview, Marius, I wish you a Happy New Year, filled with health and accomplishments on all plans!" 
      Makiavelli: " Thank you! It has been a privilege for me, and I wish you and all OS players a Happy New Year!" 
      This was one of the most complex interviews I ever took !!!  It could compete with Ganja's or Zutto`s ( I followed Ganja more then 6 hours into all events and I was waiting for Zutto's interview since Phoenix mid game until Inception mid start ), so he deserves the room in NewsPaper Hall of Fame because he is one of all time best  Magic Gladiator players that Old Squad Ever Had!!!
      I wish to all News Paper readers a Happy New Year and I hope that the Goddess of Fortune will bring them all the luck and  to fulfill their pure desires !!

We are not as strong as we were when we were winning the castle siege, but we are getting there, we didn`t abandon the fight for castle, nor will we. "
      Reporter : " Do you read the News Paper ? "
      Makiavelli:"Yes, I enjoy reading the newspaper, it`s something special that I haven`t seen anywhere else. "
      Reporter : " Do you believe in superstitions? Do you think that the Castle is Cursed? "
      Makiavelli:"I don`t believe in superstitions, but I find this amusing and I enjoy reading the posts though. "
      Reporter : " Did you see what happened to the guilds that held the castle? If it is not the "curse" (which can be defined by greed, selfishness and pride), what could it be to destroy the most of the guilds in that way?"
      Makiavelli: "The more you win it, the less you want it. The more you lose it, the more you want it.That`s how i see it. "
      Reporter: " Squadron is your enemy guild now?"
      Makiavelli:"Yes, they are our enemy guild this database, even though we have played together in the past. I still have friends and people I respect in that guild, even thought they did not take attitude when the administration of Squadron did some very shitty things like show 0 respect to my party, which helped them before and this database too, or steal items and credits from Snajper when they found out he was going to join us. After these events, and others, and losing CS several times to us, what they did is even more mind blowing to me - they allied with ATTACK and then deny several times that they did until Colossus confessed it all on forum and they didn`t even pay them what they promised for their help from what I know. It was not even only the normal help to come and play against us ,they were killing their GM and the GM of their secondary guild to make points.Everything is allowed at CS so we never said that this is not fair, but these are some stains on their chicks and I`d like people to remember it. "
      Reporter : "There are rumors that the ATTACK guild is allied with HARDCORE, are they true?"
       Makiavelli :" We are not allied and we never were, I remember some of them wanted to help us after Squadron mocked them and they offered their services but nothing synthesized."
      Reporter: " Do  you think that your guild can win next Castle Siege? "
      Makiavelli : "I know they can be defeated in the next siege, we beat them before and we could have beat them a lot more times. They did not win because they were too good, they won because we messed up big time on so many different occasions, and it is only our fault we lost but server`s still up and going, as I said before, we have a nice team now and I have high hopes that we`re gonna win the next castle siege. Nobody is crying for the castle but it's a thing of honor."
      Reporter :"What do you suggest to improve on NewsPaper ?"
      Makiavelli: "I don`t see myself in any capacity to give advice on how to improve a newspaper. You are doing a great job, just keep on doing what you`re doing and all is good,or at least that`s how I feel about it. "
      Reporter: "On a scale from 1 to 10, how much do you like Inception?"
      Makiavelli:"I like non-reset servers and I`ve played an amazing non-reset here on OS that I'd give 10. I`ve had bad thoughts of Inception at times, like when the aRF was 2hitting everybody and at an immense range, but watching the big picture now I see some very interesting stuff made with builds. Many people are crying that some chars are OP but if you pay attention you will see that they are OP only in front of other classes, or even if they outpower all other classes is just for a limited amount of time. For example at first was BK and MG, after that it was aRF, updates made and now is vRF instead of him, SM also got really strong, people already got some + 15 sockets and once slots will be filled with seeds, vRF will take a step back, and DL/SM/Summ era will begin. BK will always be at least a good tank. I don`t want to miss this opportunity to congratulate all OS team for their hard work with an accent on mercenary and gens systems, I like them a lot. "
      Reporter: " What would you change to this server? What do you expect from the following servers?"
      Makiavelli:"I guess I`d eliminate some of the Premium options on website like Change class/Change Name, I`d make the online Blacksmith at a max item upgrading of + 11, remove the add luck option completely, cause in my opinion,
      it makes one of the best options in game be worthless to any very active or willing to donate some money players in game. Some new systems were installed this db and although they are very nice they created a few bugs, some of which were already solved fast or a compromise solution has been found for them for example the case of BC bug, so what I expect from the following servers is  two things : 1:the same dedication of the team to solve major problems and 2: Season 14 as fast as possible on OS.
      Reporter: " What do you think about this new rule related to the sale of items / accounts for real money? The buyer receives free of charge what the seller offers if he reports to Admin."
      Makiavelli :" This rule can be very unpleasant for some players who have done nothing wrong and I know this for a fact because it has happened to me when some players from our team got banned for this reason and all the items,even a very high character at that time ended up in the hands of the players who we were playing against. Some would say that it is my fault for choosing the wrong guys to play with but everybody should know by now that people can hide their true faces very well so I don`t consider it my fault. Although this rule can be unpleasant for people who don't deserve it, I fully agree with it because I don't see a better way to stop this real money market." 
      Reporter: "So you are against "black market" ?
      Makiavelli :"  I don't have anything against someone who would sell/buy character/items on black market but these are the rules and I think it would be best for everybody if there wasn't a black market." 
      Reporter: "There are some rumors on the server that say VIP affects the concept of "play-to-win gameplay", what do you think of these rumors? Can a player who is active reach the top without donating? " 
      Makiavelli :" I don't think VIP affects the concept of "play-to-win gameplay", first of all because the stages system help a lot all the players who are behind and secondly because there is a market where you can trade basically anything for credits or consumables, so if you are a good merchant you can always have VIP without spending any money. When someone spends years on a project that he shares, I find it normal that he should receive some compensation for his work and I know that these days very few people would give something if they don't receive something in return, for example they like some artists but they have never bought an album to support the guy, online is so easy and cheap. I buy albums of my favourite artists just to support them even though I got all the songs in playlists on Youtube and I also donate when my VIP period is over,even if i have credits, because I see it as a support to the server, and I can also use the credits I already have for other stuff that I need." 
      Reporter: "Thanks for this interview, Marius, I wish you a Happy New Year, filled with health and accomplishments on all plans!" 
      Makiavelli: " Thank you! It has been a privilege for me, and I wish you and all OS players a Happy New Year!" 
      This was one of the most complex interviews I ever took !!!  It could compete with Ganja's or Zutto`s ( I followed Ganja more then 6 hours into all events and I was waiting for Zutto's interview since Phoenix mid game until Inception mid start ), so he deserves the room in NewsPaper Hall of Fame because he is one of all time best  Magic Gladiator players that Old Squad Ever Had!!!
      I wish to all News Paper readers a Happy New Year and I hope that the Goddess of Fortune will bring them all the luck and  to fulfill their pure desires !!
       
    24. Thanks
      Reporter got a reaction from Iwant2Fap in [Interview] Makiavelli   
      This interview is about Makiavelli, one of the best Magic Gladiator players that Old Squad has ever had , he is ranked top number one on Magic Gladiator reset ranking, Blood Castle rankings, and second ranked on hall of fame main (he owns 10 Hall of Fame trophies at this moment), and he is also a stage breaker. 
      Reporter: "Hello, Makiavelli ! At this moment you are ranked as number one on MG reset rankings, on Blood Castle and second ranked on hall of fame, congratulations! "

      Makiavelli: " Hello, Reporter, and thank you! "
      Reporter : " Can you reveal us your name and age? "
      Makiavelli : " Of course, my name is Marius and  I`m 28  ."
      Reporter: "How much time do you spend/day playing mu OldSquad (average)? "
      Makiavelli : "  When I play mu I`m very dedicated and I play it a lot, that`s why after every DB I play I usually take a break for atleast a few months in which I don't even touch the PC "
      Reporter: "What do you do in real life for a living?"
      Makiavelli: "I`m a dentist. "
      Reporter : "When did you start to play Mu Online? "
      Makiavelli: "I can`t remember exactly, but I think around 2004. "
      Reporter : "How did you find OldSquad ?"
      Makiavelli: "I think my friend RedBuLL was the one who told me about OS in 2015 or 2016. "
      Reporter :"What nicknames did you have in the past?"" 
      Makiavelli:" I`ve had Makiavelli for years, krazee before that, many others in the past."
      Reporter: "Since 2015 when you started to play OS, have you played on any other servers? 
      Makiavelli:"I only had an attempt to play other server which opened while i was waiting for OS and as soon as OS was ready i played them both at the same time. There was a conflict in the antihacks of the servers or something like that and sometimes my client would get closed so I couldn`t afk properly. The decision was very easy to make, i quit the other server and stayed on OS, which is the only server that i would play now. "
      Reporter :"Why did you choose this server?"
      Makiavelli:" There`s a lot of work put in this servers since it started and I like the settings more than any other server I`ve ever played
      and even though I`d very much like to play a S14 I only enjoy mu on OS in the last years so im willing to play it even on S6"
      Reporter: "Do you have any VIP activated? You have this VIP since you started Inception?"
      Makiavelli:"Yes, I have PRO vip activated since it first came up, before that i juggled between dealer and hunter, depending on the stage of the game. "
      Reporter: " How did you manage to achieve so many hall of fame trophies? Can you reveal us "the secret"?  "
      Makiavelli: "You just have to be active and have proper builds/gameplay: either for PVP (arena) or PVE (BC/DS/CC). Testing is the key to everything, someone beat you in something, either pve or pvp event, go to test server and find out what happened - you can at least do as good as he did . "
      Reporter :"Since you are top one Magic Gladiator player on the server, can you reveal us a few tips about Magic Gladiator pvp build? Can you reveal your stats ?"
      Makiavelli: "My stats were constantly changing untill I found what I think is the perfect stats build for sMG , a build that allows  me to do proper PVE/PVP and also hold a switch at CS  and I think its fair on servers with reset limit or non-reset that players make their own builds. I`ve never asked anybody about their build and I don`t want to reveal mine either. About pvp build, it`s easy to find the best one by testing builds in duels on pvp servers."
      Reporter :"What advice would you give to a player playing on this server for the first time, what should he do to get to the top places? How should he build stats on Magic Gladiator in the beginning  ?"
      Makiavelli:"sMG can be better than eMG in everything, except holding a spot, so my advice is to go sMG since you can find a nice party to take care of the spot killing, also considering there is a bonus xp in party. To get to the top places you should find a stable party with people that you trust so you can share your accounts and try having somebody online to take care of the party most of the time. You should not skip any bc`s/ds`s, you got 3/24h so it shouldn`t be so hard if you organise your time properly, and if that is not enough, you should get a PRO vip that let`s you go 4 times into these events. If you can't find a stable party you can still do it on your own, it`s gonna take more of your time but it can be done. "
      Reporter :"What characters do you think are the best on pvp ? 
      Makiavelli:" "In my oppinion any character that is played well can be very good in pvp but if I have to choose 1 class, it`s gonna be BK."
      Reporter :"You are number one on Blood Castle rankings, can you tell us how have you accomplished that?"
      Makiavelli: "Well, I`ve only missed very few  BCs since the server started and I`ve always been high ranked in resets so my damage was always above average, allowing me to take the statue many times."
      Reporter: "Several weeks ago you were ranked number on on main reset rankings with a decent gap between rest of server, what happened?"
      Makiavelli: "I`ve had some time off, had a long vacation in which I lost a lot in ranks, but the gap you`re talking about helped, so I never got far from the first places."
      Reporter: " Do you still have have a permanent party ? 
      Makiavelli:"Yes, I still do have a permanent party with @Sparkle, @mafy, @Mu3rte,  but it's not like it was in the beginning. Some are doing resets, some are doing ML, but we help each other, and I see it as a stable party. "
      Reporter: " What happened to your old mates, RedBuLL, RuSuLeTzZz, TzaPusHH , MasSacre and Obraznic ?"
      Makiavelli:" RedBuLL had a lot of work to do from the beginning of the server, he just wanted to play it with us cause he loves this server and he likes playing with us, as I do with him, but not long ago he decided it`s not worth to spend the little time that he has for himself staying on a PC, but he is still around to help whenever we ask for it.  Rusuletz quit game because of many reasons that I don`t want to speak about, but mainly because he started working and he is the kind of player that either plays active or doesn`t play at all. I`m that kind of player too. Tzapush ... you would have to ask him, I have no idea what happened there, temporary insanity or something. Obraznic tryied to sell a set for real money and he got banned, he did not have the approval of any of us and that`s all I have to say about this. Massacre didn`t have much time from the begining, but he started playing after I`ve asked him to several times so his presence here was shady from the start."
      Reporter :"Why Rampage disbanded? "
      Makiavelli: "A lot of players quit, some players tried to sell for real money and got banned, the energy there wasn`t good anymore. We disbanded it and choose to take it easy for a while, now we have a very nice group, here in H4RDC0RE the energy is really nice, and it`s a pleasure for me to play with these guys. We are not as strong as we were when we were winning the castle siege, but we are getting there, we didn`t abandon the fight for castle, nor will we. "
      Reporter : " Do you read the News Paper ? "
      Makiavelli:"Yes, I enjoy reading the newspaper, it`s something special that I haven`t seen anywhere else. "
      Reporter : " Do you believe in superstitions? Do you think that the Castle is Cursed? "
      Makiavelli:"I don`t believe in superstitions, but I find this amusing and I enjoy reading the posts though. "
      Reporter : " Did you see what happened to the guilds that held the castle? If it is not the "curse" (which can be defined by greed, selfishness and pride), what could it be to destroy the most of the guilds in that way?"
      Makiavelli: "The more you win it, the less you want it. The more you lose it, the more you want it.That`s how i see it. "

      Makiavelli:"Yes, they are our enemy guild this database, even though we have played together in the past.

      Makiavelli:" RedBuLL had a lot of work to do from the beginning of the server, he just wanted to play it with us cause he loves this server and he likes playing with us, as I do with him, but not long ago he decided it`s not worth to spend the little time that he has for himself staying on a PC, but he is still around to help whenever we ask for it.  Rusuletz quit game because of many reasons that I don`t want to speak about, but mainly because he started working and he is the kind of player that either plays active or doesn`t play at all. I`m that kind of player too. Tzapush ... you would have to ask him, I have no idea what happened there, temporary insanity or something. Obraznic tryied to sell a set for real money and he got banned, he did not have the approval of any of us and that`s all I have to say about this. Massacre didn`t have much time from the begining, but he started playing after I`ve asked him to several times so his presence here was shady from the start."
      Reporter :"Why Rampage disbanded? "
      Makiavelli: "A lot of players quit, some players tried to sell for real money and got banned, the energy there wasn`t good anymore. We disbanded it and choose to take it easy for a while, now we have a very nice group, here in H4RDC0RE the energy is really nice, and it`s a pleasure for me to play with these guys. We are not as strong as we were when we were winning the castle siege, but we are getting there, we didn`t abandon the fight for castle, nor will we. "
      Reporter : " Do you read the News Paper ? "
      Makiavelli:"Yes, I enjoy reading the newspaper, it`s something special that I haven`t seen anywhere else. "
      Reporter : " Do you believe in superstitions? Do you think that the Castle is Cursed? "
      Makiavelli:"I don`t believe in superstitions, but I find this amusing and I enjoy reading the posts though. "
      Reporter : " Did you see what happened to the guilds that held the castle? If it is not the "curse" (which can be defined by greed, selfishness and pride), what could it be to destroy the most of the guilds in that way?"
      Makiavelli: "The more you win it, the less you want it. The more you lose it, the more you want it.That`s how i see it. "
      Reporter: " Squadron is your enemy guild now?"
      Makiavelli:"Yes, they are our enemy guild this database, even though we have played together in the past. I still have friends and people I respect in that guild, even thought they did not take attitude when the administration of Squadron did some very shitty things like show 0 respect to my party, which helped them before and this database too, or steal items and credits from Snajper when they found out he was going to join us. After these events, and others, and losing CS several times to us, what they did is even more mind blowing to me - they allied with ATTACK and then deny several times that they did until Colossus confessed it all on forum and they didn`t even pay them what they promised for their help from what I know. It was not even only the normal help to come and play against us ,they were killing their GM and the GM of their secondary guild to make points.Everything is allowed at CS so we never said that this is not fair, but these are some stains on their chicks and I`d like people to remember it. "
      Reporter : "There are rumors that the ATTACK guild is allied with HARDCORE, are they true?"
       Makiavelli :" We are not allied and we never were, I remember some of them wanted to help us after Squadron mocked them and they offered their services but nothing synthesized."
      Reporter: " Do  you think that your guild can win next Castle Siege? "
      Makiavelli : "I know they can be defeated in the next siege, we beat them before and we could have beat them a lot more times. They did not win because they were too good, they won because we messed up big time on so many different occasions, and it is only our fault we lost but server`s still up and going, as I said before, we have a nice team now and I have high hopes that we`re gonna win the next castle siege. Nobody is crying for the castle but it's a thing of honor."
      Reporter :"What do you suggest to improve on NewsPaper ?"
      Makiavelli: "I don`t see myself in any capacity to give advice on how to improve a newspaper. You are doing a great job, just keep on doing what you`re doing and all is good,or at least that`s how I feel about it. "
      Reporter: "On a scale from 1 to 10, how much do you like Inception?"
      Makiavelli:"I like non-reset servers and I`ve played an amazing non-reset here on OS that I'd give 10. I`ve had bad thoughts of Inception at times, like when the aRF was 2hitting everybody and at an immense range, but watching the big picture now I see some very interesting stuff made with builds. Many people are crying that some chars are OP but if you pay attention you will see that they are OP only in front of other classes, or even if they outpower all other classes is just for a limited amount of time. For example at first was BK and MG, after that it was aRF, updates made and now is vRF instead of him, SM also got really strong, people already got some + 15 sockets and once slots will be filled with seeds, vRF will take a step back, and DL/SM/Summ era will begin. BK will always be at least a good tank. I don`t want to miss this opportunity to congratulate all OS team for their hard work with an accent on mercenary and gens systems, I like them a lot. "
      Reporter: " What would you change to this server? What do you expect from the following servers?"
      Makiavelli:"I guess I`d eliminate some of the Premium options on website like Change class/Change Name, I`d make the online Blacksmith at a max item upgrading of + 11, remove the add luck option completely, cause in my opinion,
      it makes one of the best options in game be worthless to any very active or willing to donate some money players in game. Some new systems were installed this db and although they are very nice they created a few bugs, some of which were already solved fast or a compromise solution has been found for them for example the case of BC bug, so what I expect from the following servers is  two things : 1:the same dedication of the team to solve major problems and 2: Season 14 as fast as possible on OS.
      Reporter: " What do you think about this new rule related to the sale of items / accounts for real money? The buyer receives free of charge what the seller offers if he reports to Admin."
      Makiavelli :" This rule can be very unpleasant for some players who have done nothing wrong and I know this for a fact because it has happened to me when some players from our team got banned for this reason and all the items,even a very high character at that time ended up in the hands of the players who we were playing against. Some would say that it is my fault for choosing the wrong guys to play with but everybody should know by now that people can hide their true faces very well so I don`t consider it my fault. Although this rule can be unpleasant for people who don't deserve it, I fully agree with it because I don't see a better way to stop this real money market." 
      Reporter: "So you are against "black market" ?
      Makiavelli :"  I don't have anything against someone who would sell/buy character/items on black market but these are the rules and I think it would be best for everybody if there wasn't a black market." 
      Reporter: "There are some rumors on the server that say VIP affects the concept of "play-to-win gameplay", what do you think of these rumors? Can a player who is active reach the top without donating? " 
      Makiavelli :" I don't think VIP affects the concept of "play-to-win gameplay", first of all because the stages system help a lot all the players who are behind and secondly because there is a market where you can trade basically anything for credits or consumables, so if you are a good merchant you can always have VIP without spending any money. When someone spends years on a project that he shares, I find it normal that he should receive some compensation for his work and I know that these days very few people would give something if they don't receive something in return, for example they like some artists but they have never bought an album to support the guy, online is so easy and cheap. I buy albums of my favourite artists just to support them even though I got all the songs in playlists on Youtube and I also donate when my VIP period is over,even if i have credits, because I see it as a support to the server, and I can also use the credits I already have for other stuff that I need." 
      Reporter: "Thanks for this interview, Marius, I wish you a Happy New Year, filled with health and accomplishments on all plans!" 
      Makiavelli: " Thank you! It has been a privilege for me, and I wish you and all OS players a Happy New Year!" 
      This was one of the most complex interviews I ever took !!!  It could compete with Ganja's or Zutto`s ( I followed Ganja more then 6 hours into all events and I was waiting for Zutto's interview since Phoenix mid game until Inception mid start ), so he deserves the room in NewsPaper Hall of Fame because he is one of all time best  Magic Gladiator players that Old Squad Ever Had!!!
      I wish to all News Paper readers a Happy New Year and I hope that the Goddess of Fortune will bring them all the luck and  to fulfill their pure desires !!
