BMWSurfer is surprised and caught, by Bobberino, for an interview.​

Bobberino: Welcome to The Spotlight, BMW! I am excited you were able to take part in this edition.

BMWSurfer: Thank you! I’m excited to be here!

Bobberino: So let's start with your beginnings - how did you first join NS?

BMWSurfer: Well, a friend who was building a communist paradise on NS invited me to join. I initially didn’t play very much, and I almost CTEd in the beginning. But, I eventually was sucked in like everyone else.

Bobberino: Oh, that sounds interesting. Was that in a UCR of his? Or simply his nation?

BMWSurfer: His nation. He didn’t last very long in the game, though.

Bobberino: Gotcha. So what brought you to the shores of The North Pacific?

BMWSurfer: Well, I originally founded in The South Pacific, and hopped around UCRs for a while, but decided joining the biggest region would allow me to figure out the game before moving to a smaller region with more responsibilities. I liked this region so much that I decided to stay.

Bobberino: I actually ended up similarly - I just founded in TNP and stayed. How'd you get involved with TNP's gov?

BMWSurfer: Well, after I joined, I spent a few months joining and participating in all of the various Ministries and in The North Pacific Army. I eventually found my niche, which was World Assembly Affairs. Eventually, I became a deputy there and was very dedicated to that position. This gave me name recognition, and eventually got me hired as Minister of Home Affairs.

Bobberino: That makes sense; again, I draw similarities to myself there. What has been your favorite position thus far?

BMWSurfer: Honestly, my first term as Deputy Minister of World Assembly Affairs was my favorite. We had lots of fun, and I didn’t have as many responsibilities as a deputy.

Bobberino: I'd say Fiji has me working, as do you! Lol Where do you foresee yourself in TNP in a year?

BMWSurfer: Well, I see myself still serving my region in whatever way I can.

Bobberino: Do you see another Delegacy run? Y'all and your endorsements SMH. So what made you stick in NS? What do you like most about it?

BMWSurfer: Well, for me its the people. I have met so many great people on NS and that has been the reason I stay.

Bobberino: Definitely; we got a lot of good eggs in NS. Very interesting to learn about the host of personalities that take part in such a niched game.

BMWSurfer: For sure! It is interesting how borders dissolve and national identities become irrelevant on the internet, and on NS especially.

Bobberino: Definitely. Speaking of, is there one positive memory that sticks out in your mind in terms of your NS career?

BMWSurfer: The first time I was able to successfully plan and organize a defensive operation in the NPA, and the night I became an officer. I just remember thinking for really the first time in my NS career, "I got this. I know what i'm doing."

Bobberino: My officer test stuck out to me too, yeah! What advice would you give to TNP's new folk?

BMWSurfer: I would say: jump in! Get as involved as possible and be as outgoing as possible. Once you find your niche, you can start focusing on that, but having the experience of the various aspects of the region is priceless.

Bobberino: Awesome stuff and true advice. Who do you look up to in TNP? Who are your mentors or trusted friends?

BMWSurfer: The two people I most look up to here are El Fiji Grande and Deropia. Deropia was my first boss and a true mentor to me. I wouldn't be here without him. Fiji is one of my most trusted advisers.

Bobberino: I miss Dero. Great dude and a trusted friend. I wish him well wherever he is. Is there anything you're never asked you feel you should be?

BMWSurfer: I don't think so.

Bobberino: Is there anything you'd like to be remembered by? Not expecting you to leave, but in case you pull a Dero. (Cries)

BMWSurfer: I would like to be remembered as an honest, generally good person. Nothing fancy. (sticks out tongue)

Bobberino: I'd prefer to be remembered as the eccentric, hardworking memer. Just who I am.

BMWSurfer: And that you will be, bob. (sticks out tongue)

Bobberino: You're the groundhog I fed the other day right? Those carrots were poisoned.

BMWSurfer: Uhhh.... I don't feel so good... *BMWSurfer left the channel*

Bobberino: Victory is mine!

BMWSurfer: Ha! ha!

Bobberino: Is there anything else you'd want to add?

BMWSurfer: Nope. Thank you for your time!

Bobberino: Likewise! Cheers!
