Line 1: |
| − | 2 days 15 hours left in this Demi-Pharaoh round.
| + | Resetting. |
| − | Lauroleus: well, could you explain to me what it all really means, it must sound ignorant, but I just followed the Kingmaker test here
| |
| − | Lauroleus: I'm a real new player :)
| |
| − | Arame: Ah, ok
| |
| − | Arame: Let's see . . . in previous tales, DemiPharaoh was a leadership test, so you wanted to be DP if you were pursuing that line.
| |
| − | Arame: They changed that to Kingmaker this time
| |
| − | Arame: Essentially, there are xx rounds of 7 people, each of which advance 1 person to form new groups of 7.
| |
| − | Arame: Until there's < 7 people, and it goes to general election.
| |
| − | Arame: So, one of us will advance to "round 2", etc.
| |
| − | Arame: There's usually about 3 rounds
| |
| − | Lauroleus: ahh, that's why others couldn't see our election yet
| |
| − | Arame: A DP has a lot of roles, and it kind of depends on who you ask
| |
| − | Arame: To some, they're just a figurehead.
| |
| − | Arame: But the "concrete" power that they have is that they can BAN a player.
| |
| − | Arame: Up to 7 times.
| |
| − | Arame: They're kind of considered the leaders of Egypt, to some extent, though.
| |
| − | Arame: And they're generally called upon to mediate disputes.
| |
| − | Lauroleus: ouch, sounds important
| |
| − | Arame: Yeah - we really only elect so often - there are 3 now: Kiya, Eldrad, and Astrina.
| |
| − | Lauroleus: ah, there can be more than 1?
| |
| − | Arame: Right - we elect a new one, but they just take a place next to the existing ones.
| |
| − | Lauroleus: sounds like the spot should go to someone quite a bit more experienced than me though :)
| |
| − | Arame: But different people see different roles for the DP: conflict resolution, organizing events, mentoring, etc.
| |
| − | Arame: LOL - sometimes new blood isn't bad, Lauroleus.
| |
| − | Arame: One of the typical arguments you'll see in here is that we get the same group of people in as DP tale after tale.
| |
| − | Arame: Two other things.
| |
| − | Lauroleus: ah yeah, that sounds logical
| |
| − | Arame: 1) These debates can get very political / ugly - be careful.
| |
| − | Lauroleus: okay
| |
| − | Arame: 2) Voting for yourself early on *might* be considered taboo, just FYI
| |
| − | Arame: Since you're new, no one will probably care, but don't be surprised if it comes up :)
| |
| − | Lauroleus: errrr, can I change my vote or rescind it or something?
| |
| − | Arame: I generally like the group to try to reach a consensus on the best candidate, then all vote together, but that doesn't always happen.
| |
| − | Arame: I don't know - I'll check at the next voting booth.
| |
| − | Lauroleus: yeah, I didn't know how this was supposed to go, so I accidentally clicked on a vote already :(
| |
| − | Arame: Oh - and I'll be copying the chat logs to text file as I go, because we always lose these screens. With everyone's permission, I'll post that on a temp wiki page.
| |
| − | Lauroleus: sure :)
| |
| − | Arame: Yeah, I wouldn't sweat it too much on the vote, just wanted to warn ya for next time around ;)
| |
| − | Lauroleus: indeed, thanks for the warning :)
| |
| − | Lauroleus: and for the explanation :)
| |
| − | Arame: Most welcome
| |
| − | Arame: I am running seriously this time around, FYI - I've passed Kingmaker already, and am here for the actual DP stuff ;)
| |
| − | Lauroleus: well, you sounds nice enough, and have written a nice contribution to the wiki :)
| |
| − | Arame: Thank you - name recognition is something that's kind of important when it comes to the general election, although it doesn't necessarily make me a good candidate by itself.
| |
| − | Lauroleus: I guess not, but I'm sure you'll tell more about your politics here soon :)
| |
| − | Arame: I think I'm a pretty well-balanced person, though. I'll gripe & moan my fair share, but I don't throw hysterics - I'm a firm believer in a low-drama Egytp :)
| |
| − | Arame: If you want to hear it - I don't mind waiting for other people, because we'll end up repeating a lot ;)
| |
| − | Lauroleus: I'm willing to wait, you're going to have to tell the others as well anyways :)
| |
| − | Lauroleus: what's the temp wiki location you'll post the chats? in case I miss things
| |
| − | Arame: I haven't written the page yet, let me do that.
