Issue 1: The Ad

SOME NAMES HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT THE IDENTITY OF INDIVIDUALS WE HAVE NOT RECIEVEED PERMISSION TO SAY. ALL REDACTED INDIVIDUALS ARE INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY IN A COURT OF LAW.

I sent out an advertisement on my first day in the city. Three people responded. Here is what they have to say:

INTERVIEW ONE:
Carlos: Let's get the basics out of the way: What's your name and what's your job in the city?

normanninjakids: My [name] is normanninjakids. I am a lawyer, fisher, realtor, advertiser, farmer, and investor.

Carlos: Wow, so you do a lot for the city! How long have you been a [resident]?

normanninjakids: Been a [resident] since about May 24th.

Carlos: Since coming here, have you stayed up to date with the politics of the city?

normanninjakids: To a certain extent.

Carlos: Have you considered running for any office in the government?

normanninjakids: I have; seeing how corrupted most of them are.

Carlos: So you have some complaints about the system, tell me about them.

normanninjakids: Corruption is no longer a crime. There was a severe case of corruption a while ago and it was bad. I don't think I'm allowed to tell you any more as a lawyer, but corruption is very common [in the city]. Corruption of police officers are even worse and detectives as well.

Carlos: Well, thank you for telling me what you could. As a lawyer, what can you say about recent [court] cases? Have they been a step in the right direction or worse?

normanninjakids: I don't see any cases of cases of corruption in the district of federal court in the past week or two, but of course, I might have missed a few things or two. I don't think there has been steps towards the right direction especially with the D.H.S.

Carlos: What has the D.H.S. been doing that you don't like or agree with?

normanninjakids: The detectives once shot me 8 times. When I walked into the police station, I talked to a police officer. He asked, "Was it [REDACTED]?" and it was, in which case he replied: "Oh, yeah, he does that sometimes." To make things worse, [REDACTED] is a detective, which means he can't be arrested because he's the one who is supposed to report the [issues].

Carlos: To wrap things up, how do you feel about rent in the city?

normanninjakids: Great. It's perfectly priced... to work new players to death.

Carlos: Do you believe it's a struggle for new citizens to afford housing?

normanninjakids: Yes, the [Yeah] Jaron wave is still in effect, which affects new players. Most places I've seen are 5x4 for $500 a month, which is insane.

Carlos: Well thank you for your time today! It is much appreciated and it was a pleasure to speak with you tonight!

normanninjakids: It was my pleasure

INTERVIEW TWO:
Carlos: To start off with the questions, what is your [name] and what is your occupation in the city?

Taechi: Taechi. [I'm a] draftsman, event coordinator, chef, armorer, designer, security guard, realtor, [and] businessman. I'm everything

Carlos: So you do a lot for the city, that's amazing! How long have you been a resident?

Taechi: [I] used to be a Statecraft resident, but I joined 24th of May

Carlos: I assume based on your occupations you keep up with politics?

Taechi: Somewhat. I don't really get involved unless it's required for my tasks.

Carlos: Have you ever considered running for any office in the government?

Taechi: I have not but I think in the future it is possible because I am in the Statecraft Party.

Carlos: Do you think the Statecraft Party can help improve life in [DemocracyCraft]?

Taechi: Our party policies have proved to help improve Alexandria through legislations like the Government Employment Act 1127[1] helping with balanced wage payouts. We also focused on a Referendum Endorsement[2] basically setting clearer guidelines for how transfers of power are handled in the government. My role in contributing is enacting a party bylaw[3] SEDP which stands for Skills and Employment Development Program. I think this could help DemocracyCraft out, too, by reducing unemployment or players with barely enough money to sustain themselves.

Carlos: Bringing things back to D.C., how do you feel about the future of the city? Positive? Negative? And Why?

Taechi: The future of the city is very unpredictable for me because there's so many possibilities yet little chance of success.

Carlos: Do you have any stories you'd like to share in regards to the city before we wrap things up?

Taechi: I'm really grateful for the donations I received on GnomeFundMe[4] to build my father's hotel in D.C. Unfortunately, I decided to buy an overpriced plot due to my own negligence of being new and not knowing plot prices. I lost all my items in the Everwild the following week so it has been rough for me but I am trying to start a new life.

INTERVIEW THREE:
Carlos: Okay, first thing's first--what is your name and how long have you been apart of the city?

Davetheghost: Davetheghost and I think around a month

Carlos: What is your occupation in the city?

Davetheghost: Well, I work as an entrepreneur, but I am trying to make a Family Feud [game] on the server.

Carlos: You said you're an entrepreneur, what sort of business or businesses do you own and/or operate?

Davetheghost: A production studio to hopefully make T.V. shows and movies but right now, as we speak, I am [writing] my own book.

Carlos: That's awesome! What sort of book are you writing?

Davetheghost: I am writing a fantasy book called The Hunting[5]

Carlos: Now, do you keep up with politics?

Davetheghost: Not too much but I have many political friends so it works out.

Carlos: If you're allowed to say, what positions do they hold?

Davetheghost: I am friends with [REDACTED] who is deputy of the house last time I checked, [REDACTED] who is in the senate, and those are the only people I really only prefer to disclose.

Carlos: Totally understandable! Have you considered running for a government position [yourself]?

Davetheghost: Well, probably I would go for education as it sucks terrible but currently I am not as I'm waiting for the government to wipe the education department of the bad people.

Carlos: Can you expand on the idea of bad people in the education department? What have they done that you don't like of agree with?

Davetheghost: I have been told by [REDACTED] and a few others that they do--sorry for my language--jack shit and they are super unorganized since if you go around, you will see new okayers having so much trouble playing because other residents need to tell them what to do, even though there is a literal education department made to teach people.

Carlos: How would you fix the education department right now if you could?

Davetheghost: I would first get rid of the current one, find people who genuinely want to help the community out, try my best to fix up anything they had intentionally didn't want to fix, and try to make new residents' lives a little easier knowing they aren't in the fog.

Carlos: In your opinion, what should the first steps be for a new player once they arrive in the city?

Davetheghost: I would say become a fisherman, try to find an apartment. If they have a bit of money, i would say find work, save up for a plot, buy a skyscraper plot or a "C" plot to then make an apartment building for them to get good money. Or, to be honest, just do whatever they want.
