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?

A1.In real life I am married 38 years, have 6 grown children and am a retired pediatric RN. In game life I run around with brucette. I enjoy the community feeling of Egypt very much. I love doing projects with others, helping newer players, herb and playing with flowers to name a few. I came to Egypt in the middle of T2 from TSO with Eighteen, Mariah, Kelly, Dano, Bryce, Lelia, Audrey to name a few. I soon found other TSO friends who migrated here.

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

A2. I like this Tale, our camp SCR is the best it has been throughout the past Tales. I do miss when more people played, camp and surrounding areas were always bustling with activity. T2/T3 were my very favorites :)

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?

A3.I would reconsider their position first, if I still disagreed I would probably go with the majority vote.

Q4. Many activities in Egypt are PvP oriented/ highly competitive. Recently some issues have been discussed in ET regarding Test of Retired Pirates. Please explain how you approach these sorts of tests and if as a player you use any method to improve your outcome like having alts/mules voting in other rounds to enhance your pass chance. Do you push/campaign your guilds to vote for you and or forming test/rounds alliances or salt rounds with players that have already passed.

A4. I think the whole Retired Pirates thing is silly. I know a few people who were bullied, threatened and called names not just in the Pirates tab but outside too. This is uncalled for and please remember people... it is just a game :) I just like to have fun doing these sorts of tests. As for Guild mates, it is hard to not support each other, we all make sure that they are informed and can make their own decisions.

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

A5. I am among the Founding members of a couple of the most helpful Guilds in the game.... Safari Club and Herbalists. We provide help to many people by giving them a place to share Safari and Tattoo information. Personally I enjoy herbing and helping other people find the herbs they needed.

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

A6. I like to help new players find direction in the game. There is a lot going on and can be quite overwhelming for a new player who is struggling to fit in. I have helped many over the years settle in and find their place. It is a good feeling :)

Q7. How do you feel about sometimes heavy use of macros in this game by many players? and If there was a choice would you support complete ban of macros in the Tale?

A7. I don't macro at all and have nothing against the use of them. If macros were banned I think a Tale would last for a ridiculous amount of years, even longer than T6!

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

A8.Yes I do know who has access to my spouse's account. One person besides myself whom we both trust implicitly:)

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

A9. When the kiddies come and build woodplanes etc., they soon tire of it and leave :)

Q10. Easy question for start... Ninja or Pirate?

A10. Ninja, I dont endorse weapons:)

Q11. Who would you vote for if you weren't running this time?

A11. Both are extremely capable candidates :)

Q12. Closing statement.

A12. Having raised 6 children, 5 of which were born in 5 years I am very well versed in the art of mediation and survived even!:) I believe any of the 3 of us would be a worthy DP. Good luck to all:)
