Donx

Paxman.: Name/Age/Location/Sex?

DonX: Laurenz. I live in Belgium DonX: I'm a male person and I'm 19 years old

Paxman.: Profession?

DonX: Student

Paxman.: what are you studying?

DonX: Applied economics at the university of Antwerp

Paxman.: cool does that help when you are collecting in mafia games? LOL

DonX: hehe no :) pity though

Paxman.: Marital status?

DonX: I'm in a relationship...1.5 years now:)

Paxman.: ok. Lets get to your mafia career. How did you first discover the online mafia world and how long ago was this?

DonX: It was thanks to a friend DonV...and it was in TMB. DonX: That was 2 years ago

Paxman.: and what were you first impressions of that game? was it all very confusing at first?

DonX: yeah well that went pretty fast to me... I joined a round in the family of DonV... wolfpack was the union I think
DonX: and it seemed all very hugh... a lot of players and I didn't had any idea what the relationship was between all those players...
DonX: but the round after that we went to Chicago and joined with our fam Decavalcante, the GMK union and that's where I really learned how to play a maf game

Paxman.: and what was the main focus of GMK? were you an attacking union or more collectors?

DonX: In the beginning we were collectors
DonX: and until I left GMK to start my own union Montana they stayed collectors, it's only x rounds ago when the game turned into a total war game, that GMK changed to

Paxman.: oh ok, and did you make any good friends during your time on tmb that you would like to mention?

DonX: Ow I made plenty of them
DonX: There's DonV (who's also in ML), there's adam aka theskinhead (now in ML to), then there's MitchGMK, don of GMK, who's a great don and then last but not least all my loyal people from my Montana fam over there...
DonX: to much to call them by name, it's around 10-15 people in total... but we stay loyal to each other till the end, last one of us started to play another maf game, and she asked us to join, we all joined, played actif and became the 2nd fam in the game

Paxman.: so you had your own Montana family there? Do you prefer to lead rather than follow?

DonX: hehe in the beginning I did... now it doesn't matter anymore...in ML to : I'm normally just consig of a fam but in reality I'm helping Casanostra to lead the MOB union... I always take up my responsibility when necessary
DonX: now that I went through all of it, I'd rather say I prefer to follow then to lead, because it asks a lot of energy, but when necessary I'll still help someone to lead

Paxman: You said the game turned into a killing game x rounds ago.. what led to this? and is it better now?

DonX: well I think the fact that Cypriot left the game (the biggest supporter there), he controlled a bit all the game... and then our banking fam disappeared to and then the game lost his basis a bit in my opinion and everyone went moving to other cities, challenging each other...
DonX: I don't think it's better... it's almost impossible to build up something when you get hit constantly...I do like a war from time to time but not war for like 30 rounds non-stop

Paxman.: lol yes peace is good sometimes too. Do you still play tmb or have you switched to other games?

DonX: I'm still logged on into every round
DonX: and I returned to GMK... and I help mitch in his fights a bit.. but I don't play it very actively any more
DonX: I switched mainly to Mobsterlord

Paxman.: lol ok. Well tell us about ML, when did you join the game and did you prefer it to tmb straight away?

DonX: I joined the game because DonV asked me to
DonX: and I must say in the beginning I preferred tmb... because I was more used to that
DonX: but then I started to talk to Casanostra and I became consig in BlackEagle... and then I had to play more:d
DonX: I started to know the game better to... and now I prefer it to TMB

Paxman: Can you remember which round you started? and what family did you start with?

DonX: I can't remember that... It must be 30 - 35 rounds ago I think and it was straight away in BlackEagle in MOB

Paxman: So what appealed to you about MOB?

DonX: in first place not much lol... I played it because DonV was my friend and I didn't want to disappoint him. Later on when I started to know Casanostra it was the goal of building a strong and solid BlackEagle fam that appealed me
DonX: and we belonged to MOB...but I was appealed by the BlackEagle fam

Paxman.: I see, what would you say was the philosophy of the BlackEagle family which made it special?

DonX: it was a fam who wanted to be one big bunch of friends with its members....we wanted loyal people and skilled people and we worked for our members, to train them and to get them ranked, and the members worked for us DonX: I like that atmosphere
DonX: so to me that was special... especially because Casanostra is a big bullshit talker lol... he can really inspire you and make you work good

Paxman.: haha! So CasaNostra was the don? tell us about Casa and your relationship with him

DonX: Yeah Casanostra was the don of BlackEagle...
DonX: well Casanostra is a great guy. He likes being the don and he likes to express that so that everyone certainly knows he's the don, but if you are loyal to him, he's loyal to you. He will never ever stab me in the back.
DonX: He needs me to keep things running, and I need him to for the same reasons
DonX: so we're like the BlackEagle brothers :)

Paxman: nice :)...ok well lets take a few questions on the ML community before we continue with your personal experience. Who would you say is the funniest person on the game?

DonX: Casanostra... because he always causes troubles to other people... and when he gets angry he'd do the stupidest things first... and I always have to calm him down and solve the problems due to diplomacy
DonX: at that moment we always have a lot of fun
DonX: talking shit to each other but knowing that we have each other's back

Paxman: lol..Who would you say is the nicest person on ML?

DonX: well since past round I'd say Cathy :) she's really a great person, but people like Raxor etc are also very nice people and loyal

Paxman.: Stupidest person?

DonX: Jatpower lol... he always returns to MOB but after at least 10 rounds and lots of explaining he still can't hire properly

Paxman.: haha! Smartest person?

DonX: hmm that's a hard one... I'd say Tonyg

Paxman: Who would you say is the biggest rankwhore?

DonX: Casanostra lol... he'd do anything to get ranked:d

Paxman: ok who do you think is the best killer?

DonX: Blade... he's an old member of MOB and is now in Praetorian fams...I've never seen a better one

Paxman.: Best looter?

DonX: Blade and Casanostra... they are both good at it

Paxman.: How and why did you choose your name?

DonX: i have that name since my second round in TMB I think...
DonX: I didn't know which name to choose
DonX: and I liked the name of DonV
DonX: so I changed the last letter:) and I liked the name DonX

Paxman: lol... Who is the most annoying person?

DonX: jatpower... because nothing seems to penetrate his brains

Paxman: Haha...who is best poker player?

DonX: hmm also a good question, I'd also say Blade...
DonX: he has the most medals so far I think

Paxman.: Who do you trust the most?

DonX: Quite a lot of people I trust equally well:
DonX: of ML: DonV,Casanostra,Theskinhead (Adam), Blade, Raxor...
DonX: of TMB: DonV, Mitch and my Montana crew:)

Paxman.: Hottest mafioso?

DonX: Cat and Maximosa (maximosa is someone from my Montana crew:))

Paxman: What are your opinions of the other unions and their dons?

DonX: Before past round I would have said that I disliked Praetorians and their dons... . Now I have to say I like them:d. I spoke a lot past round to Cat, A, YB etc and they are all nice people
DonX: DonV etc are now in tarantino, so I like them to:p
DonX: and I don't know much of the other people... didn't spoke a lot to Doubletrouble yet, so I can't judge on that union

Paxman: If you could give advice to 5 people on ML what would it be and to whom?

DonX: to casanostra: Use more your brains instead of your testosterone
DonX: to Jatpower: quit the game... you just can't play it
DonX: to WAR: keep on going the way you're going right now, you're doing great DonX: to Cathy: Stay the person you are... I don't think anybody can still teach you something
DonX: and to all opponents of MOB: Unions / people deserve a second chance if they come forward and make changes:)

Paxman.: Is there any player you would never hit not matter what happens between you?

DonX: DonV
DonX: He teached me everything I had to know... I will never go to war against him no matter what

Paxman.: Most and least selfish players?

DonX: Most selfish player I have to say it was Madness... though I hope he has changed now and least selfish player: of all games: MitchGMK. of ML: Raxor I think

Paxman: who is the most popular person on ML?

DonX: well seen the amount of players who like him I'd say A... because Praet is the biggest union in the game and he leads it together with some others... but I think Bonnie is coming close too

Paxman: Have you ever lost your cool on the game?

DonX: euhm well recently someone said I kept him zeroed for all the round... and I can't remember anything of it anymore.. but if I really did then it was then:) because normally I never do lose my cool.
DonX: Well sometimes I do but I stay always rational... after a few seconds I start to use my head again, so I will almost never do damage due to my lost of coolness:)

Paxman.: Mafioso you most suspect of being homosexual?

DonX: haha I don't have a clue.. but if I have to say a name it will be DonV to... always has been suspicious:p

Paxman: Person/Fam you would most like to hit?

DonX: euhm that would be ghost I think

Paxman: lol reason?

DonX: because past round we started MOB again and he sent us cash immediately which was taken from praetorians and we had just made an agreement with them... so we had to start all over... and also due to the things he did to Cat and to us in the end of past round

Paxman: Which person would you most like to join your union?

DonX: ah donV:d
DonX: because I miss playing with him together in one fam

Paxman: Mafioso you would most like to see a picture of?

DonX: euhm that would be adam I think... haven't seen a picture from him in all those years lol

Paxman: lol The one person you hate the most and why?

DonX: Ghost and Shari... for what they did to us past round

Paxman: Person you most admire on ML?

DonX: euhm that's a hard one... There are multiple persons which I consider much "better" then me, because they can really get a fam ranked top 3... but that's also because they drop so much money,and that aint a skill to me
DonX: but I think it would be Blade
DonX: he never drops money or very little
DonX: and he always succeeds in getting himself ranked for credits

Paxman: your fav thing about ML?

DonX: the poker:d definitely

Paxman: What do you think of admin on ML and are there any changes you would like to see them make?

DonX: I must say I like the admins... though I'd like to see a limit instated of money you can put in one round... would make the game much more fair for people who can't drop that much

Paxman: Mafioso you would most like to meet in real life?

DonX: euhm 3 people actually:
DonX: casanostra, adam and maximosa
DonX: :)

Paxman: What attributes do you look for in new players who would like to join your fam?

DonX: they have to be loyal
DonX: and willing to take advice
DonX: all the rest doesn't matter to me

Paxman: How would you describe your playing style?

DonX: euhm
DonX: I try to be friendly for everyone... I think I may say that I'm honest and I always keep my word... that's holy for me. I will almost never back-stab anyone... I'm not such a person

Paxman: Have you ever made a threat to anyone that worked? If yes what was it and to who?

DonX: puh I can't remember that
DonX: probably I made some in the beginning on tmb... with my montana union DonX: but right now I don't do that anymore... I always try to arrange stuff by friendly messages... i learnt that you reach much more with that
DonX: I never give in to threats neither so...

Paxman: interesting..what has been your fav round so far and why?

DonX: past round
DonX: because it was the first time I was ahead of a union in ML and we managed to reach something despite the total domination of Praet... so I'm happy with that:)

Paxman: ok time to show the love! who are your close friends on the game and for each one please give the reason(s) you like them

DonX: euhm
DonX: 1. casanostra for having my back always
DonX: 2 adam because he's a great guy with whom you can laugh for hours DonX: 3 maximosa because she really cares about people and she has been with me for years now to

Paxman: who have you been most disappointed in?

DonX: i was disappointed in Blade leaving us... but now I understand
DonX: and I have been a few times disappointed in some people... but that's history and I leave that to peace:)

Paxman: can you tell us about one of those people and what happened?

DonX: ah well there was once a round and a person in the ranking fam dropped a lot of money but he lost the end race... he was 30 trills behind in last 10 minutes so he knew he couldn't make that up and despite the fact we were all "friends" he kept all the money for himself and ranked no-one personal

Paxman: What remaining ambitions do you have in the game?

DonX: I just wanna try to build out MOB again... make a stable union again and try to give MOB a better image to the other unions... because most people hate MOB lol:)

Paxman: lol why is that?

DonX: I think an heritage of some old players who'd liked to send violent messages etc...

Paxman: can you tell us about what the new MOB under your leadership
will be like?

DonX: well I lead it together with Casanostra
DonX: so I can't decide that alone
DonX: but I'd like to build out one bunch of friends having together with a lot of respect for each other...
DonX: that's my main goal I guess

Paxman: ok tough question, what has been your biggest mistake so far?

DonX: goh idd a tough question.
DonX: I made some wrong attacks in the beginning... but that's something everyone does I think
DonX: so I have some small mistakes
DonX: but I don't think I really have one fabulous mistake....and I hope i'll never make it neither:d

Paxman: lol I hope not too. what is your funniest memory from your time on the game?

DonX: oh some conversations with adam / casanostra... these guys are really fun... I've had moments that I sat behind my comp and that I couldn't stop laughing for half an hour:d

Paxman: lol! Tell us about how the current round is going for you?

DonX: I can't complain,
DonX: found some nice members
DonX: a good banker
DonX: and we haven't had any particular hits so far...
DonX: so it's going good in my opinion

Paxman: on average, how many hours a day do you spend on the game? And would you call it an 'addiction'?

DonX: lol I spend on a normal day hours on the game... 4 till 5 at least I think DonX: you can call it addicted if you want but I consider it more as fun and talking with friends. the game is difficult to get really addicted to because you always have to wait for turns to do something...
DonX: poker on the other hand is addictive:p
DonX: due to that my hours on ml increased quite a lot

Paxman: lol ok now for the personal questions. Feel free to answer these in as much or as little detail as you like.
Paxman: When were you happiest?

DonX: when I can spend time with my little nieces...
DonX: they are 5 and 6 now
DonX: and I'd do anything for them...

Paxman: What makes you depressed?

DonX: people of whom I care who gets hurt by other people or who have to suffer from a big lost or so... or sometimes when I start thinking to much about my own life;)
Paxman: Where would you most like to live?

DonX: in a french ski-resort during winter
DonX: and in the cote d'azur during summer

Paxman: What was your most embarrassing moment?

DonX: my most embarrassing moments were in the first years of highschool... got bullied a lot during that time

Paxman: Which living person do you admire the most and why?

DonX: my granddad because at the age of 75 he's still working every day in his appartement now to make things better, he spent 13 years building our house... he spent 8 years building the house of my uncle...
DonX: he did everything himself to save money
DonX: he's the most admirable person you can imagine... the least selfish to

Paxman: How do you relax?

DonX: by playing a game or talk to friends or play competition in table tennis

Paxman: What single thing would improve the quality of your life?

DonX: a bit more freedom... my parents are very conservative...

Paxman: What does love feel like?

DonX: it feels to me like waking up every morning, realising you are the happiest men in the world and having a goal each day to get out of your bed and make the one person happy you love the most

Paxman: Have you ever said 'I love you' and not meant it?

DonX: nope because that is just ridiculous...
DonX: when you say something you have to mean it... otherwise you have to shut up in my opinion

Paxman: Describe your ideal woman.

Paxman: tell us something about you that most people would be surprised to find out?

DonX: goh that's a hard one to lol
DonX: I think it would be the fact that I'd like to do extreme things like jumping out of a plane... going to the northpole... bungeejumping
DonX: those stuff

Paxman: Finally, what is the most important lesson life has taught you?

DonX: treat other people the way you want to be treated
