• My cp is at 1220, 3470 in River Plains.

• Besides TRADING (please see "FOR TRADE" below), I also run the RIVER PLAINS CAFE (1600,2868), at which we always have available to the public our FREE RUNNING (dexterity) and ENDURANCE foods. Please check it out at:

Demi-Pharaoh Election: Below are some comments and thoughts of mine for the upcoming DP election.

• To summarize my ideas about ATITD and particularly Demi-Pharaoh, I believe that a DP should, to the best of the person's ability, exemplify what the game is striving to achieve, which beyond having a fun time (which it is, of course) is to foster community, help each other out, and discover new tasks and skills that we find interesting. For me, I've tried to find the best way to help the most people I can, and particularly newer players, which resulted in what is now the River Plains Cafe, at which I (and the crew, comprised of Porthos, Orchid, Dawner, Shemei, and others) have supplied all of Egypt with Running/Carry food and Endurance food since T6, all free to anyone who wants it, all the time. I have also done my best to supply new players with high quality tools (hatchets, shovels, etc.) at the lowest possible cost to them. High quality food and tools, to me, are the best way to get new players productive and more interested in the game. I've never made a profit of any kind from the RP Cafe and do it because it provides a fulfillment for me to try and hopefully help new players find the same level of wonder, excitement, and absolute fun, that I found when I first started playing this game in T1.

In response to the question asked of me last week, "As a DP, how would you be representative of us?":

• I think one common thread throughout ATITD is the sense of community and sharing of information, ideas, and tasks, although of course some poeple are quite content to keep to themselves, which is great also - another quality aspect to this game is that folks can choose whatever level of social interaction they prefer. I prefer to share what I know and help best I can others who may benefit from what I have been fortunate enough to learn from other players and through experience. Part of that for me is providing free food for everyone entirely from donations, but also I think helping disseminate knowledge is a key aspect of the game. Wiki is one example - I have contributed to the Recipes page dozens of recipes since T6, and also to the Blacksmithing page this Tale (I only recently learned proper Blacksmithing). But also there are opportunities within the game itself. A couple of months ago, for example, the powers that be kindly arranged a tutorial on Cooking that I hosted that was open to all on a public channel in which I explained how Cooking worked from beginning to end and answered any questions people had. I was very impressed with how many people were eager to learn more about Cooking and I enjoyed answering their many questions. Following that tutorial was held a Cooking event that a lot of people participated in, even though many had not cooked much before. But they wanted to try to apply what we had been talking about for the previous hour and a half, which was great. The point, I suppose, is that I try to share with the community however I am able in the hope that it will get others involved in ways they may not have thought about previously, and I suppose I would say that in that way I am representative of that aspect of the community, the sharing and learning, which I find to be one of the most positive aspects of this great game.
