Interview with ~dardar_3~ and Winters

In the near past SoccerProject welcomed two new sheriffs, and I welcomed two new colleagues. They’re Czech and Romanian, I am Belgian. SoccerProject brings people together, in game and in discussion. Both Winters and ~dardar_3~ are new to me, so I invited them for an interview, to get to know them better…

Manager: ~dardar_3~ (Diavolo, E.12)

Age: 24
Living place: Bucharest (ROM)
Favourite team(in RL): AC Milan
Favourite team(on SP): Diavolo

- Hi Dardar, how are you doing? Can you tell us some more about who you are?

I’m fine, thanks. Every day I want to explore at maximum the time. I know very well that ‘time is money’ but usual I use my free time for fun.(seeing a football matches, watching a movie, drinking a beer and also playing Soccerproject).

- Since almost two moths you’re a sheriff now. How does it feel, and what does it mean to you?

It is a pleasure to work for SP. It is only a game and most of the managers don’t understand that. I don’t feel GOD of Soccerproject. I am a normal manager who has the same dream like all who plays SP: winning the A division.

- Do you feel it’s important to represent the Romanian community, as being the first Romanian sheriff ever?

I think the Romanian community deserves a sheriff because it’s an important community of SP. I’m proud to be the first Romanian sheriff.

- How is your team doing at the moment, and what are the future plans?

My team is on the first place in E-division and with 11 matches until the end of the season is almost promoted in D division. (one week later, with only 7 matches to, he leads with 15 points, and the title hardly can’t slip away anymore)
I like very much this strategy:
- buying 4-5 good players on each season with age between 27 and 29.(~7M)
- selling 4-5 players with age 30(~3.5M)
- make a team with some experienced players and also with young players.
- the schedule for every day is very important. If you play 4 friendly matches per day, continuous for 3 days with league matches it is 99% chance to have minim 1 injury player.
- friendly cups are also important.(I choose some cups for the money and some cups for player rotation).

With a good schedule I can make 40 transfers on a season(20 in and 20 out).

Manager bunicutzu wrote on SP forum:”Promote when you can. It doesn’t matter if you will gain second place”.

- How did you get into contact with the game itself, and what makes you play the game every single day?

I found this game on Onlinesport forum. I used to play Championship manager a lot from my PC. This game attracts me because it is more interactive that other online games. I am lucky because I have a job where I can access the global network every day.

- One last question; if you got the absolute power over SoccerProject for one day, what would you do/realize?

I will leave Soccerproject like it is now.

Manager: Winters (SK Scrabble Ostrava, C.2)

Name: Marián Viochna
Age: 30

Favourite team (on SP): Sokol Oldřichovice

- Hi Winters, how are you doing? Can you tell us some more about who you are?

I am married and I have a 4 year old son. I live in a village under the Beskydy mountains. I work as an investigator at industrial company. My most favourite hobby is a desktop game named Scrabble. Many other Scrabble players play SoccerProject too, and I am pleased of their successes. I used to play basketball and floorball before, but now I would rather go cycling or hiking with my family.

- Since one month you’re a sheriff now. How does it feel, and what does it mean to you?

I am surprised how many cheaters there still are on SoccerProject. Thanks Raynook for supporting me in the beginnings. I think that 10 additional sheriffs could be useful too.

- You have replaced Foxir as sheriff. How did you get into touch with the ‘job’?

I am co-operating with Foxir from the very beginning of my SoccerProject career,
especially in organizing Czech national league. We both live in different parts of our country, but last year we have personally met in Prague. Foxir is the legend of Czech SoccerProject community! And it was Foxir, who recommended me for the post of sheriff.

- How is your team doing at the moment, and what are the future plans?

I lead the C.2-division with a slight advance. I hope I could promote and if so, I would
like to keep up there. I am not thinking about further promotion at the moment.

- How did you get into contact with the game itself, and what makes you play the game every single day?

I had some footballmanager experience before I started playing SoccerProject. I was drawn to this game by my friend BartSimpson. When I am at home, I play for one or two hours a day.

- One last question; if you got the absolute power over SoccerProject for one day, what would you do/realize?

I think something like the World Cup is a wonderful idea. The players would be nominated from particular teams by a national couch for each nation. And of course, I would like to extinguish all cheaters, too J

Thanks to both of you for your time and words!
