Dinner with the devil
Ilene Dover
Recently, I took the opportunity to put a large number of questions to our resident dictator, XenthuS. Why waste my breath? Well, on honest reflection I realised I knew nothing about the man(?) who controls all our e-destinies. What better way to find out more - as long as he answered!
Rest assured, ladies and gents, that XenthuS did answer, and in some detail. It turns out he (I'm convinced of that now) isn't a baby eating green skinned monster. To try and bridge some of the divides that I see opening up in the community, XenthuS agreed for me to publish my questions as an interview. Please, enjoy. If you have any questions we didn't cover, please post them in the comments. You might even get a direct answer!
Cool avatar! Who designed it?

The Spanish flag on your avatar says to a lot of people that you support the Spanish cause. Or you are conflicted at best. What is the story?
Our MU was born in Spain, we are almost all Spaniards. It's just a flag, nothing else. The people who is in Australia will fight for what is better for Australia.
That MU would be the Black Spectra. Tell us more about Black Spectra. Where did it start, what does it stand for, who are the key members?
Hard to answer, Black Spectra (BS) has only 1 year old. But BS come from the fusion of several MUs, the fastest way to explain it is using this image(ty Chechoo😉
There are a lot of key members but I guess that the most important are our niggacommanders: davecoli (on the left left) & manpaspal (on the right)
On to the question that is probably on most e-Aussies minds, if you don't mind. Why takeover Australia? What was your original goal? What has changed in the last month?
I can say that Australia wasn't our 1st target, we had prepared the coup for another country but someone leaked us (I think, or they were very lucky) and we have to look for another target. This new target was Australia. We choose it considering that Australia could grow up "easily" (that is what we thought)
Oooh, who was the original target?
Sweden, we organised it for Sweden but... xD
Our main/original goal is to have fun and set ourselves some goals in short term to make the game more fun. In last month everything has changed, Australians change is point of view to see us as a "hostile horde" to give us a opportunity to work together.
What are your long term goals then? Drag eAustralia into the 21st century?
Just have a great united country where we all can find some fun to keep playing this game 😛
Tell us your eHistory? Nearly 3 years is a long time in a game. And there are a lot of different flags on your profile. Even a Bulgarian one...
Well, my history is not too much interesting. What I most like in this game is fight together with more people and because of this I have been changing my cs [Citizenship], joining several armies and that's all 😛
Who are all these new migrants? SkyNet, Mac Vasco and so on. Are they friends of yours? Are you aiming for an old school PTO?
They all are trusted mu members (and friends 😘
😉
that have joined (are joining/will join) Australia looking for new goals and fun.
What has been your impression of eAustralia? In all honesty!! We can't exactly vote you out... 🙂
Well, my impression of eAustralia have been normal, I didn't expect something better than I have. Maybe the best surprise have been some people (very worker) ready to help us / Australia. 🙂
As one of the beneficiaries, you must have some thoughts on the dictator module and the politics module? Where to next for the game governments now that there are some revolutions around the world?
It was a good idea that admins converted in shit (like almost they always do). Revolutions? Do you mean player revolutions? The game that we once knew is gone, there is nothing that can be changed here. When you get tired/bored just leave the game.
No I meant anti-coups, for lack of a better term. Like in the UK recently.
The coup in UK was a self-coup (for what I heard) so if there are some opponents with enough money and damage with the determination bonus increasing highly, it's something normal. But if the same people win in next elections I wouldn't be surprise if they place a new self-coup while they have money to pay it. So it's just something that will become common, I think.
This one is to satisfy my personal curiosity more than anything. What's up with the guru meditation thing? And wtf is "varnish" (a floor and furniture lacquer here...)
Is our mantra, our present to our god Varnish. Varnish is everything, the creator of the fail and the Megawin. He drives us form mysterious paths. Nowadays we are in eAustrala because our beloved God is happy staring at the incredible beauty of Milabejbe who lives in New Zealand.

That's probably enough about the game, for now...what about XenthuS the man(?). You live in Spain, but what do you do for a living.? Studying for a PhD? Electrician? Are you a schoolboy even?
I'm studying civil engineering, in my third year.
What do you know about the real Australia? Have you ever visited?
Not enough, I think. I have never visited Australia. 🙁
(But there is some guys in the MU who, yes, have visited Australia)
An easy question, with controversial answers to end then. Mac or windows? Tablet or laptop?
Windows & laptop 🙂
Thanks to you, my readers, for taking time out of your day to read this article. In spite of my personal opinions about dictators, we need to work as a community. There will be problems and issues in the future that we must solve by working together.
The big question for all of you - where do we want to go from here?

Voted!!! o/
I love this type of article! I find the Spanish horde quite mannerly and pleasant and so far, willing to accommodate our requests.
They're not a horde of barbarians, that's for sure. 🙂
Things are not as bad as they could've been.
they are bullies that take what they want. they must die.
Good interview.
Thanks. No more questions though? I found every answer made for more questions...
Had to cut myself off for the sake of X's time. 🙂
I can wait for the second interview. 🙂 I know, X is a busy guy-- he probably could use some official assistance. Oh, wait...
A second interview?! Oh my... Don't put ideas in my head you bad man!
Has anyone ever seen the beautiful Milabejbe?

God is dead, long live God? 😕
Her account died, her soul lives beside us
Fantastic article
Thanks. 🙂
Any further questions though?
I read this and I just do not know what to think... I do not want to give in and accept that eAus is ruled by ppl that want to make the "game fun". I do not see the fun!
Neil.
Dear Aussies, what's wrong with you? Succumbing to Stockholm Syndrome?
I think it is more an inability than a lack of desire...
Meet new boss, same as old boss
And I think it's more like a thin line between love and hate.
A lack of desire, an inability... Cause and effect... Never mind.
Maybe a bit of that, but I think the increased military strength is the real appeal.
If Australians keep getting used to their dictator at this speed, IDA won't have to start another fundraiser. I for one am feeling a bit disappointed.
Cuba 9 days? 🙂
I have no idea what you're talking about.
Good job!
About tha avatar, I have an only aussie version.

Thanks for sharing. 🙂
Not sure how many takers there will be though.
I only change the original avatar. I don't designed it. It was made by another member and voted in our MU.
[...] and was voted [...]
El fail es fuerte en nosotros, pero es lo que nos obliga a rendir pleitesia a nuestra amado hamado Varnish 😃
que nasi
Se entiende que he usado el was de "was made" porque he puesto el "and". ¿Se puede decir "It was made and voted" o se tiene que decir siempre "It was made and was voted"?
hereje! :3 no se puede contradecir el fail que contraresta nuestros propositos por medio del "google translator worm", que fue una herramienta divina traida por el fail supremo hasta nosotros.
Traducción mediante el fail google translator worm:
"Sólo cambio el avatar originales. Yo no diseñé. Fue hecha por otro miembro y votó a nuestra MU."

Ya va siendo hora de que ejecutes a aquellos que no son capaces de reconocer el poder omniimpotente del Varnishismo ortodoxo ilustrado más radical. Que empiece la Sacro Santa Inquisición Rosa así como el Ministerio de Acercamiento de la Verdad Faileristica al pueblo indigena aussi.
English please
Steady on, Impish One, holy wars do not go over well in Aus.
You could've just written "que?" 🙂
Only in english??
