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?

Sure! And thank you for reading here. :)

In my rl I live in Northern Germany (near Hannover). So german is my first language and my english isn't perfect.

In case of this a long time I wasn't encouraged to candidate for DP, even though I have good reasons that let me believe to able to be make a good job as DP. This i'll explain later - see Q12, Closing Statement please! :) I've played T1 (the german version named Kemet) and T2. My rl obliged me to stop the game for a long time. But I could return since T6 and that makes me really happy!

In T6 and T7 I live in DoN. Here I built my camp in a awesome Oasis in the desert but near the CP. I love to explore and make new experiences. To meet new people and get new friends is exciting! Try to speak with them in other languages makes fun. I love the atmosphere of the landscapes, day and night changing, the sounds... (ok, now, in 2016 the graphic could be better - e.g. I wished less perforated clothes for us all ;) ) More important is the great community here and the absolut logical structure of our game.

Q2. Some playstyles/choices are criticized. What are your opinions on the following (totally cool? uncool but not banworthy? worth a scolding? worth a ban?): jumping Obelisk queues, bonfiring clay patches far from your own camp, hoarding a resource, building non-griefer structures in someone else's camp/backyard?

Anticipating let me say: before I think about ban or not in my opinion there are two very important steps to do!

1st is to speak with the players who have or make problems.

2nd is to speak with the other DP's. Goal:democracy and trying to find a peaceful solution!

a) jumping Obelisk Queues = uncool but not banworthy

b) bonfiring clay patches far from your own camp = seems to be necessary sometimes (Raeli Ovens)

c) hoarding a resource = cool

d) building non-griefer structures in someone else's camp/backyard = worth a scolding!

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?

Think I would not ban. In this case it seems better to analyse myself: perhaps I'm personal involved or similar.

Q4. How's your progress in other Leadership tests?

Got the princibles in Kingmaker, Pirates, Bureaucrat and work on it to pass these tests.

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

Well, I decide when needed or encourage others to decide when I'm sure that they are better informed.

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

I participate in common projects. Most of it in DoN because i live there, but some others too. The other way is in rl: I tell to all my friends about our game and try to motivate them to join.

Q7. How many Egypt-wide events or efforts have you organized/pushed in T7 (or prior tales)?

No one. I'm not the great Organizer. But whenever my help is wanted I do what I can.

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

Only myself has access and no one else ever!

Q9. As DP do you think you should share your password?

Hmm... - As a DP this is a "No-Go" for me!

Q10. What other powers would you like to see DPs hold, in the interests of improving game play?

Well, I cannot decide that well-founded now because for me it needs experience as a DP. That's my opinion at the moment. Otherwise - In Germany we say: "A Guy grows withs his Job!"

So being DP I know that I'll learn more aspects which can help to improve the game. And then I will decide and engage for new powers.

But always I'll go the democratic way!

Q11. What question would you like to be asked, and why?

Nothing atm: I hope to be asked in the Debate later on!

Q12. Closing Statement

I have two good reasons that make me believe to be able to do a good job as DP!

1st: Many different Nations joined our game. That implies different - cultures, languages, points of view.

DP's here will build a group and decide together.

Therefore I think it's a good idea to have DP's from this different cultures because that will enrich the collective view of a problem and so find a better solution.

2nd: In my rl I am a Arbiter.

That means: when peeps have conflicts they come to me and i find a solution for their probs with them together. Mostly it works.. ^^

Finally let me say:

I love this game more then any other I know so far.

And our community here is really awesome!

Thanks for listening - and now I wish the best new DP for our beautiful country! :)
