    The challange of building a balanced infrastructure with army/scientists/priests/workers ... I also enjoy being part of a group, and learning about different places, I have met people from all over the world in this game. I like to take my time and work through things and Ikariam is at it's core a platform game that is more complex than any I have played previously. I really look forward to the challenges I face in here.

    What's your eyes colour?


    Blue

    What's your favorite food?


    lol pasta. My grandma used to make home made pasta, there is nothing like it. I can probably eat it every week and not get tired of it.....and I do. :)

    Do you work?


    I graduated from College and worked as an Office Administrator for Ontario Health Insurance Plan which oversees the payment of doctors here. I also worked as a waitress. Right now as I am going back to school in 2 weeks I do not work.

    What is your hair colour?


    Black/dark brown

    Have you been pulled over by a cop?


    lol no. I am a good girl. ;)
    But I have the greatest respect for the profession. I have a classmate who became a cop and an ex whose father was a detective.

    What have you always wanted? Did you ever get it?


    I have always wanted to have a large family. No.

    What was the weirdest prank call that you have made?


    uhm I never made a prank call. The weirdest prank I ever did was steal my neighbors rose bush, I think I was 8... yeah the whole bush.. I dug it up with my cousin for mother's day to give to my mom and we dragged it down the street...with mud and dirt trailing behind us. When the neighbor came over cause he just followed our footsteps we hid under my bed... so maybe not a prank... but it's the closest I get.... I'm a little bit of a live wire you might say.


    Or at camp I was working in the kitchen...age 12-ish the goat kept coming into the kitchen (there were animals) so the cook told me to tie it up....but it bit through the rope and came back in....so when the cook asked me to take outside and tie it up again I tied the poor goat's 4 legs together and tipped it over......gently........then tied it to the tree again, and you know what, it decided not to come back.

    Best compliment you have received?


    Cooking. I try to cook and eat healthy and sometimes a recipe doesn't turn out quiet right.... I also like trying new things and the first time you make something it's sometimes a hit and miss. Several years ago for Family Christmas I made Butternut Squash Soup - for the first time.. and everyone really liked it! It was then I started feeling comfortable in the kitchen.


    The other best compliment I got from a teacher, she said I was one of her best accounting students and that I really should go into accounting, but at the time I had other plans. But I always felt really good about my accomplishments and mastery of those classes.


    Do you trust anyone with your life?


    Yes. If I am in an accident I trust ambulance and doctors to keep me alive. If I am attacked in the woods by a bear I trust the makers of bear mace to keep me alive. :) If I am drowning I trust the life guard to save my life....I see a pattern here.

    What is your greatest strength or weakness?


    It takes me a while to make up my mind, I do not like big decisions that need to be made immediately. I like to research. I like to do things very very throughly. So for example here I want the 12 cities, the kick ass army, all the Lv 25 future researches and every last single one of the badges...oh and get on the top 50 of every category...like I said. I like to take my time and get it done right. It is both my greatest strength and my weakness.

    What is your perfect pizza?


    hhmmm easier if I say I do not like fish or mushrooms on it...anything else is okay....or I can pick it off :)

    What was your first thought when you woke up this morning


    coffe. It is coffee. It will always be coffee.

    Do you get along with your family? Why or why not?


    I am close to my mom here in Canada. I miss my family in Hungary. I get along with most family members and those I don't it's because they disapprove of choices I have made. I refuse to regret anything. I try to make the best choices I can, and let the cards fall as they may.

    Ugly and live forever, or look attractive and die in a year?


    lol what?! uhm....neither.

    Do you like Ikariam staff?


    yes. :)

    Lets start :P


    is there a button I'm supposed to push? how do you start? lol

    Hey sniper you can be a good Hr for a company asking questions ,taking ,phone test interviews erc.. and then hiring people
    I like the last question
    Do you like Ikariam staff? 8o
    hahaha
    My question …
    Have you ever lied to get a job or to be more attractive in the eyes of your future employer or hr ?
    PS If you have ct hellen let me know to speak with my friends

  • I try to phrase my answers as politely and as correctly as I can. I would never lie, especially at an interview because the risk is simply not worth it. What if I lie and say I can do something I cannot? It will be very easy to prove it. So no. Never tell a lie.

    That being said, if they are looking for a sporty person per say, I would focus on my morning stretches and call it "yoga" and perhaps running to catch a bus could be termed as a light workout......

    As for CT's do you play in Eunomia? You can contact me through my alliance. :) Remember that my ingame name is Rowan.

  • Hmm ok ..a good answer ,but sometimes you have to put tomato salsa at spaghetti just to be more delicious ...Don't lie for something that you don't know for example if you are good at Office say you have proficient skills or good had excel at uni and you need a couple of days to get used to it(the moment you got the job)you have courses on youtube or a friend of your help you
    Sniper as an older what your opinion about this... ?

  • LOL I am very efficient in msoffice :) Part of my job.

    Saying I am good at something is the same as saying you have proficient skills in it.................so it would not be a lie at all, and I would not need to ask a friend for help or brush up on my skills. :)

    the best thing is to tell everything you can do without any lies...
    If they don't want to apply you,that's their loss because you know what could you do for them ,but they missed it...Never show to others something that you are not,because you will not feel 'yourself'..
    There is always someone who will appreciate you...
    For example I got rejected on one community,I just passed and thanked ,and now I am here... I am working now to show the ones who rejected me that they made big mistake :)
    They recognised me as average,but Sampisa and Anti saw potential :)
