User:Juonkiku/DP Q&A

First off, these questions were taken from the last recorded debate page from the Demi-Pharaoh test page.

Q1. For those who have never had the opportunity to interact with you before can you share a little about yourself, what you enjoy about ATITD as well as how long you have been playing?

To be able to actually get through to the actual voting stage of Demi-Pharaoh is something I didn't actually think would happen. I am a fairly unknown entity in Egypt, mostly due to my sporadic activity over the past two tellings. Tale 6 is where i started off my life within Egypt fully, having only played trial a few tellings before this. I generally like trying a bit of everything available to myself, be it solo-ventures or group activities, both have been fairly enjoyable and I still have a lot more available to me to do, and try out.

Q2. How you like T7 so far, it's better or worst than previous Tales. Which Tale was your favorite?

T7 has been an amazing experience, and the community it brought with it has been absolutely amazing for this telling to develop the way it has. As I only have this tale and the previous tale for experience wise, its kinda tilted on my opinion towards the liking of this tale more so than the last.

Q3. If the general consensus of the rest of the DPs were that that person should not be banned, but you felt strongly that they should, what would you do?

Even though a DP 'owns' their power to exile, I do not believe that we should ever be solely responsible for the usage of it. Extreme measures such as banning, should be met with debate and only when all other methods of approach have been exhausted to the point that no other method is possible. At all times, other DPs should be within the discussions for these measures.

Q4. Many activities in Egypt are PvP oriented/ highly competetive. How do you feel about the use of Alts in being able to vote, passing tests, and passing tests before main players?

The usage of alts is always a double-edged sword, always has been, always will be. Alts add a huge positive to the game's approach, as many activities require AT LEAST two bodies to be able to perform, and not all of the time, is a second person available for the length of time that would possibly be required. On the other hand, the negatives will always fall on the ability to have a second, third, fourth, etc on votes or test passes, there isn't much that could be done to circumvent this without direct intervention from the higher powers.

Q5. How are you providing leadership in the game and amongst the player base?

Currently within the greater populace, I do try and help players out if I am able to and when I am able to. Currently within my small family within Midland Valley, we're trying to set up our own Aqueduct which i'm heading the plans on, if that were to actually count towards actually leadership of some kind?

Q6. What specifically have you done to further the growth of the community?

I generally have just tried to make this game a fun experience for the people I meet, regardless with the activity involved. Be it just keeping people company and chatting, or actually assisting with the activity they're doing.

Q7. How would you handle it, as DP, if you were involved in an interpersonal conflict with another player? On a related note, how would you handle it if a close personal friend or guildmate made a complaint, or had a complaint?

If I was directly involved in such a conflict, I would approach it as a normal player, not a Demi-Pharaoh. Most matters should be able to be solved between two people without outside involvement, and without extreme measures. Failing that, I would approach the other Demi-Pharaoh's in office for advice on how to proceed, and go from there.

Q8. Spouselog allows access to ban powers. Do you know who have access to your spouse account?

Yes, I am aware of who has access to my spouse and can safely trust them.

Q9. Please describe what you consider to be "griefing" in the Tale.

An act that contributes towards creating a negative impact upon someone's experience within the game. That could be anything from building structures 'inappropriately' to misusing of certain structures in an attempt to cause disruption.

Q10. Do you believe the other candidates are qualified to be a DP?

I only know a couple of the other candidates, and I feel like they'd make good DP's.

Q11. How do you feel about the "None of the Above" Law?

An absolute requirement, this option should have always existed as there may not always be a suitable candidate during the elections.

Q12. Closing statement.

As much as I would hope to be voted in, I am a fairly unknown entity, so I would take absolutely no offense from people voting otherwise or even none of the above. Please at least do get your votes in, regardless of who you may choose.
