Hello dear Winston Hope Smith;

Thank you for accepting my invitation for this interview. Before diving into the questions, could you please introduce yourself? If you have anything to share with our audience, now’s the time! 

Hi Barbod and eDom players.  I am a (almost) 60 year old player. Married with 2 kids (now adults) I am real Life Irish and have played these types of games for many years.  In real life I am left wing atheist and a STRONG believer is social justice and, as the Americans would term it as an insult, the WOKE agenda. I wear this term with pride.  I despise the far right and the only good Nazi is the one you just punched in the face.Also a vegetarian!



1. To start, do you find yourself collaborating with friends in the game, or do you prefer to go solo? 

I like to collaborate but in smaller groups of say 5 or 6.



2. If you were the President in real life, which players would you choose for key positions Vice President, Minister of Defence, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Minister of Finance?

Vice President and Minister of Defence - Berry McMinnar
Minister of Foreign Affairs – Franky Four Fingers (Please come back to the game) 
Minister of Finance – cOSHi (also come back to the game)



3. What is your favourite food?

Vegetable Biryani



4. If you were to recommend a movie or series, what would it be?

For movies I still love “The Andromeda Strain”… the 1971 version… love the slow pace but with tension.  
TV Series… “The reboot of “Battlestar Galactica” 2004-2009… great story and great acting. 
You did not ask about a book which worries me… people need to read more…. 
Best book is of course “1984” by George Orwell….  Nothing to say but it is the best book I ever read…. so far.I also loved “I Never Promised You A Rose Garden” by Hannah Green… a wonderful exploration of the mind from a person with what appears to be a Multiple Personality Disorder… the book is semi-autobiographical.



5. Who is your favourite male and female actor?

I don’t have real favourites but if pushed…Female – Brit Marling (The OA)Male – John Hurt (1984)



6. Are you a fan of music? Please share four (4) of your favourite singers.

… or Bands 
Pink Floyd
The Beatles
Janis Ian
Carol King



7. Among the popular songs you enjoy, can you highlight just one?

Dire Straits – Skateaway




8. What’s your favourite sport?

Rugby



9. Which football team do you support?

Munster Rugby Football Team



10. If you had the chance to have lunch with a historical or fictional character for a day, who would you choose?

Cicero



11. What does happiness mean to you?

Family 



12. If you were to write a book with five chapters on achieving success in life, what would you title each chapter?

Respect for Yourself
Respect for Others
Critical Thinking
The Joys of Science
Disbelieving all Gods



13. If you were to plant the seed of a tree, what kind of tree would it be?

Oak



14. If you had two pizzas, who would you share them with?

John Lennon (if only I could)



15. If you could change the colour of the sky for 12 hours, which colour would you choose?

Rainbow Colours to honour our Gay and Trans people who have, all through their lives, had to deal with hatred and discrimination. 



16. Do you think learning from the mistakes of others is more important than learning from your own mistakes? 

Learn from your own mistakes!



17. If there were a technology that allowed you to experience 24 hours of life through the eyes of an animal, which animal would you choose and why?

Albatross… the idea of the freedom flying over the oceans without a care just seems like what real heaven would be.



18. Imagine you’re planning a day out. Which one player from the game would you invite? (Just one)

Berry McInnar, we have played together for many years now and I guess I respect her gaming style.



19. Now, picture a scenario where you’re battling a bear in the forest. Which player would you want by your side? (Again, just one)

La0ch…  



20. 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.

The time I congratulated a lady on her upcoming childbirth as I thought she was in late pregnancy… she wasn’t.  I felt so bad as it really upset her.  Life lesson learned!



21. What advice do you have for new and incoming players?

Respect everyone and honour any deals you make… make sure you know that in games the only real currency is your good name



22. Do you have any suggestions regarding the game?

Tone down the hate



23. Are you satisfied with the recent changes in the game? On a scale from 1 to 10, how would you rate the admins performance?

Rainbow Colours to honour our Gay and Trans people who have, all through their lives, had to deal with hatred and discrimination. you havent chosen to have your relatives like that, quit it old man, other people have suffered for more serious reasons in their lives, instead of just wanting to do it in the arse...
