We're missing conversation from our DP round, so I thought we should have a place to highlight stuff, etc.

Ariella: I have played from T2 to T5 all the way through. I started in Karnak in two of the main research donation guilds, Guardians of Ra and Friends of Mihe. In T3 I started learning about genetics in the game and wrote many guides about Mutagenics, Solvents and Genomes and bugged players on E! to donate to those techs. I lived in 7Lakes in T3. Pascalito was a DP in this tale.

In T4 I found that a great many people loved crossbreeding and wanted to learn more about genetics so I started the guild Garden of Eden which remained active and large throughout the tale. I started writing many more guides as I found that besides mentoring this was a way to help even more have fun in the game. Again I bugged on E! to donate to techs. The following are some guides I did. I also met Pascalito in game, met him in real life and we are now married in game and real life. I went to one of the player meets last year and met teppy and especially enjoyed talking to the devs about the game mechanics itself. Below are some guides I did, some with Pascalito's help, Orchid, Eldrad, Eigam and a few others. I also started giving genetics lessons on the GOO channel. I was also voted DP in this tale.

In T5 Pascalito and I have Garden of Eden guild again. We hope that it will be a learning guild again to further the enjoyment of the game. We help with all kinds of fun things like beer making, wine, genetics, mining, glassblowing, fishing and whatever else we can help with. We try organize times to gather mats and bring awareness to the tech donations. I have added a few more guides and done research on fishing and added to the that page. Coming up with new skills in T4 was a lot of fun, like Chariot Stop building (I heard that that is still being considered), Foraging Memory (with Pascalito), Molecular Balance, Once a Day Flower Fertilization, and for the player meet in T5 I proposed Candy Making that uses resources like citrus fruit and aromatic honey, spices and cocoa that are underused.

I love the game. I love that I have met so many wonderful people including my husband :) I love coming up with ideas that make people smile!

Osre: This is my fifth tale. I enjoy a wide variety of Egypt's offerings and don't really specialize too much. I also play only a few hours each week (3-20) and so I'm always "behind" other people, but if I can keep the right mind-set, it doesn't bother me. I'd like to be Demi-Pharaoh because I think it would be interesting to occupy a more central social role than I ever have. I'm not sure that it would force that, but it couldn't hurt. Also, I'm a well-adjusted, fairness-minded parent who thinks that equity and fun are the most important things when playing a game like this. If DP provides a platform with which to gain attention, I'd like to champion laws that would really change the game. (To be honest, these are often laws that would *never* pass, but even raising ideas into people's consciousness is worth while. A mild example would be to make all property-ownership transparent (i.e. anything that can hold resources works like a display chest). This wouldn't harm people who have nothing to hide, and would be kind of interesting. A much more dramatic variant would be to make all buildings that contain resources public.)

It would be neat if each of us could ask one (more?) question down here and get everyone else's answers.

Osre asked in the DP chat tab, "What would you have to believe about me in order to want to vote me forward?"

- Aiella: paraphrased by Osre: 1) stay most of the game, 2) actively help fun for others, 3) be even-tempered.
- kuupid: paraphrased by Osre: 1) be a good leader, 2) be honest, 3) be level-headed
- Penates: paraphrased by Osre: Prove you want DP for something more worthy than a checkmark on a to-do list.
