Interview – Contest Winner Guran

First of I would like to congratulate you on your Contest writing victory.

Q: How does it feel to be the winner?

A: It feels pretty good. Its a good thing to hear that my writing is appreciated. And that I keep getting better at it. I honestly didn’t expect to win because other players had pretty good and sometimes even larger stories.

Q: Most people know you as the war reporter and a great writer, tell us more about you

A: Well, in daily life I am a student, with student meals, student bedtimes and student activities. In my little spare time I am working on a fantasy novel. Furthermore I play badminton, magic the gathering and offcourse Orkfia. All of this takes place in the beautifull province Zeeland in the Netherlands where I’ve lived for a long, long time.

Q: Talking about fantasy novels, your currently working on the Orkfiology aswell, any comments on that?

A: Yes, I’ve been approached to write a refreshing story for the classic relaunch. I’m using loads off the old story, but I’ve given an entire new angle to it and dived even deeper in the murky depts of the mysterious Orkfian history. For example: There will finally be an insight on the nature of the “Comet”.

Q: If you could add anything to the two games what would that be?

A: A larger playerbase offcourse. Although to do that you should actually first give something else. In my view a good marketing strategy that really grabs players.

Q: If you could remove anything from the two games what would that be?

A: This new magic system in infinity. It totally renders pestilence useless and takes some fun away. And I want my signature DA back!

Q: Will we be honoured with more war reports anytime soon?;)

A: Right now there is no one in our war range. A few weeks ago we wanted to butcher #14. I totally worked out a strategy that would make us win. But a lot of people weren’t able to make the first KA, Imogi would die halfway the war, JRE would be gone the entire second day, taking two of my ravens away. But I’m writing an in between ages report about the warhunt for Lepel. That was a short useless classic war, but it was fun nonetheless.

Q: What would you say to someone thats totaly new to this game?

A: Join a bootcamp, have fun, keep smiling and speak soon.

   Aggro decks, weenie mostly. I played control and burn for awhile. Burn grew boring and control takes too long. I’m planning to start tournaments again, this time I’ll rock them with my mono black weenies.
