In the Rear-view mirror Tuesday: Interview with JHUN

September 23rd, 2008In the Rear-view Mirror1 comment

Its finaly tuesday again and its time for another look into the rear-view mirror. This time its a interview that took place back in 2003. Torrow we got a Alliances at War Warreport so stay tuned.

***

JHUN is one of the top players in orkfia, there is lot to be said about him, in my eyes there are two main sides, on one side there’s the people who dislikes him and takes every first chance they get of trash-talk him, on the other side theres the people who thinks he is one of the greatest players to ever set foot in ORKFiA.

I decided to take the chance and interview him, at the end of this article perhaps you’ll have some more grounds to stand on in your opinions about him.

JHUN lives in Malaysia, with his mom, dad and two younger siblings. At day time he studies law at high rate and meets his girlfirend whom he deeply cares for.
JHUN has played for 2 years nearly, he started out playing after he overheared his Queen in Utopia and some other guy talking about “missbattling eagles” and what not.
He started out playing for Kengu, who thought they were really good and all, but in fact they weren’t THAT good to quote JHUN.

Some Q/A’s.

Wheelie:

Do you have any orkfia player you admire? And if so, who?

JHUN:

Other orkfian player I admire…….hmm thats a toughie. To be honest, I don’t really O_o most of the other good players have had their hands in some dirt except maybe chosen. Most of em are pious hypocrites.
Maybe jamzi, she plays for fun, but ends up doing well

Wheelie:

There have been a lot of war blocks this age, is it anything you have experienced and what do you think of it?

JHUN:

Hmm ok basically i think war blocking is a strategy, tho I do not condone an ABUSE of it. Using warblocking to avoid a potentially disastrous war against an alliance you KNOW is going to war you AND kick ur ass in the process is basic strategy.

However i certainly cannot appreciate those alliances who revolve their entire age around warblocking…eg a raven hit one of us some time back then immediately jumped into war. A flyover of that alliance showed that he basically did that all age, made a grab, jumped into war, did nothing throughout the war, undeclared, rinse and repeat. We grabbed him anyway.

The main issue I have however is with the way penalties against warblocking is enforced.
If a big alliance ‘warblocks’ , admins are all over em (like the alleged warblock our alliance had with Anno some ages back). However most of the warblocking and other underhanded schemes are committed by the smaller or less known alliances, who i might add, get away with it most of the time.
I will not name any names, but Generallee take a look at most of the small alliances and u see warblocking being abused left and right, with nothing done by admins, or blatant intra alliance co-op etc.

Wheelie:

Your known as the guy who is constantly “on-the-run” or “harassed” by BROWN and your disputes with them/theirs with you, are well known by everyone, but what started did this “war” in the first place? I think theres more to it than is commenly known?

JHUN:

hmm ok i think it basically started in my 3rd age I think, the old BROWN crew were in that cheater reaver’s alliance…….although they ‘apparently’ didnt know of the cheating he was pulling off, i wasnt so sure and it certainly didnt endear them to me :/

Then as ages past, they were always the ones in my freaking news right from day 1 OOP. when I was in weaker alliances they used to just give me pages and pages of ops, ino real damage, but mainly to just annoy me, and to slow me down.

Wheelie:

why you?

JHUN:

Cos i always grew fast regardless of what they did and I guess they weren’t happy that i did it. A lot of other alliances opd me regularly as well, but BROWN mainly concentrated on me, then when the stupid unbalanced war system was implemented, BROWN was the alliance which started killing me.
First time they did it i mean, i didnt mind since the age was so boring and I wasn’t really playing (that was the age mb won in the end somehow)
After that they kept harassing me so i finally just got fed up of them.

Wheelie:

If you would name one worthy enemy alliance, which would that be? And why?

JHUN:

hmmm………ironically i wud say it wud have to be BROWN. Their slow growing style is something we’ve always had problems with ever since the bottomfeeding cap was implemented. Plus they can be very coordinated.

Wheelie:

Finally do you have any tips or tricks you would like to share with your fellow orkfians?

JHUN:

hmm……..tips or tricks e?

Best way to do well is not to sit around blindly following a strat or building what you can, but to truly understand the game and how it works.

Wheelie:

Other than that is there anything you would like to add?

JHUN:

Yeah i have something to add : I’m not the insane game loophole finding, bug-abuser a lot of ppl seem to think :p

Basically, i may stretch SOME rules (when the rules of orkfia were still shaky).
But i can only name one time when i broke a rule,some ages back when i got pissed that i died due to a mana bug which let DEs have full mana in 2-3 turns,despite overwhhelming proof that the allianc which killed me abused the bug, frost deleted my reinstated account. I got so pissed i took all my alliance account info and conducted mass wars by my lonesome.

other than that….i havent broken any rules, a couple of things i did (not more than 3) were considered unethical by some, but then i played to win. Im not trying to push blame, but a lot of ppl especially from the smaller alliances do a lot more crap.

Plus if i really wanna multi, i cud easily have used a proxy , when i multied that age, i didnt even bother hiding my ip.
