From eRepublik Nostalgia to WarEra Dominance: The Turkish Leader's Journey
In today's edition, we have an interview with the President of Turkiye, dSokre .
1) What brought you to WarEra and when did you discover this New World?
A long time ago, there was a game called eRepublik in this exact style, where I had some highly enjoyable moments. While looking for a similar game, I came across this one and started playing
2) Do you find yourself collaborating with friends in the game, or do you prefer to go solo?
We Turks have a proverb: "What does one hand have? Two hands make a sound" (Two heads are better than one). Unity brings strength, which is why cooperation is always the most important thing.
3) If you were the President in real life, which players would you choose for key positions—Vice President, Secretary of Defense, Secretary of State, and Secretary of the Treasury?
It would probably be the Ministry of Defense. I also served as the Minister of Defense in this game for 7 months. Even though I enjoyed it a lot, it is a very exhausting job. Since it's a profession that requires even more critical importance in real life, I didn't choose it.
4) What is your biggest personal motivation for leading the country?
I like seeing the borders constantly expanding, and you are addressing the entire country. Everyone is looking at the words that come out of your mouth.
5) What are your country's plans for the near future?
Leaking internal information? Hahahaha, let's talk about this in my office.
6) Who is your best ally in the game ?
I get along well with everyone, but in this game, even if I had only one gold left in my pocket, I could spend absolutely everything for Lithuania and Ern16
7) Do you plan to have a baby boom soon and expand your community with new players?
I have tried this many times. I can't even keep track of the real money I've spent, but Turkish players simply do not want to play browser-based games anymore.
8) Which historical figure is your greatest role model in politics?
Leaving politics and the game aside, "Mustafa Kemal ATATÜRK," the Founder of the Republic of Turkey, is someone whose words I try to apply in every step of my life.
9) What is your favorite food?
"Mantı". It is a type of dish that combines yogurt and meat (similar to dumplings). It is a highly significant dish from the city of Kayseri, Turkey.
10) If you were to recommend a movie or series, what would it be? And who is your favorite actor?
I watch a lot of movies, so it is very difficult to pick just one right away, but The Prestige is a great movie, I highly recommend watching it. My favorite actor is Tom Cruise; I have watched all his films.
11) Are you a fan of music? Who is your favorite singer and song?
I listen to all kinds of music, but unfortunately, I can't pick just one singer.
12) What is your favorite sport and which club do you support?
Football is a huge passion for Turks, and Fenerbahçe is the biggest sports club in Turkey.
13) If you had the chance to have lunch with a historical or fictional character for a day, who would you choose?
Undeniably, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk.
14) Imagine you’re planning a day out. Which one player from the game would you invite? (Just one)
Even though we live very close to each other, I still haven't been able to meet Elereo , and I am looking forward to meeting Monarch as soon as possible.
15) If you’d like, please share a memorable story—whether it’s funny, emotional, or something else from your experiences in the game or in real life.
When Romania, Ukraine, and Serbia—who had been wiped off the map for 4 months—suddenly gained the upper hand against us and reached our Capital, I was urgently called back to duty (right while I was taking it easy in retirement). This situation in the war ended with us wiping them off the map for the 4th time. We are still fighting, but this situation has become quite boring now.
16) What advice do you have for new and incoming players?
If you have patience and enjoy role-playing, keep going; otherwise, there is no point in starting and wasting your time.
17) Do you have any suggestions regarding the game?
They need to run advertisements. It is an absolute disgrace that no ads are being shared about the game. I can swear I've spent more money on advertising than the owner of the game, but I can't prove it.
18) Are you satisfied with the recent changes in the game? On a scale from 1 to 10, how would you rate the admins performance?
I am not satisfied at all. These recent updates have really made me lose interest in the game. I am on the verge of quitting.
