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?

Well I am Scorpio, I like long walks on the nile. I like to "party hard" at the tasting table, and fish all nite. I try not to take most things seriously. I am laid back, and I do not take things from the game personally, normally. I am an avid coder, I very much like writing macros, I release very little of what I write, as most are wildely useless and most took more time to write then the action they were used for. I once wrote a macro to drop a 20x20 grid of carrots for getting rabbits to spawn. I spent an hour writing and tweaking it, it took 5 times longer to do it, than had I just dropped the carrots by hand, but I enjoy the challange. I am the same way on events, Its a challange, and I take them semi seriously, I read the challange, hope i figured out plur was saying between the lines, and then I plan the things I will need to be able to do it effectively. Sometimes it works sometimes, i still misread it and everything goes wrong, but i love the challange of it. I am loyal sometimes to the point of not being able to say no, when I should. And I try to trade as fair as possible.

Q2. As some specific examples, would you consider any of the following playstyles as worthy of DP intervention? Obelisk queue violation, bonfiring of a clay patches to prevent others from building, using large quantities of alts to rig elections, mentorship advancement, or other test passes?

DP Intervention. Only two ways a DP can "intervene" threatening to ban a person, and actually banning a person. As of right now, the DP holds no other sway or powers. I do think a DP "could" be more and "could" do more around the server. I like and use the Obelisk queue, but I do not take it personally if I get "jumped", its the nature of the test. Bonefiring clay patches, if its next to your CP, I can understand it ( understand not agree with thou) I would not want a raeli oven next to my home either. But Bonefire to reserve an area away from your home, is not something I consider to be good taste, but it does not warrant a DP interaction either. Mentorship advancement, yeah sure buy your shrines, how one is mentored, if its thru alot of chatting and hand holding, or showing them a simple rule, if you have resources, and want something else, you can trade ( you have XXX want a shrines, and are willing to pay XXX to get one) Not really worthy of anything aside from the two people involved in it. Using alts to rig or force test passes, hard one. Its not a "nice" way of doing things, and no its not really fair. BUT it also doesn't really bother me, If he feels the need to pay and use multiple alts, more power to him. Its game, I do really enjoy playing it, it wouldn't be worth it to me to spend the extra cash to buy wins, but to each his own.

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?

Well firstly I would moan and complain that no one else shared my opinion, that normally gets everyone one my side.... Probably have to think real hard why I am the only one that feels that way, and then maybe reevaluate if my feelings are purely personal. But regardless I would not go against a consensus of my peers.

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

Passed Kingmaker..... the rest are started that are open.

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

Serious answer, I doubt I am, it would shock me if people thought I was leading anything in this game. The only thing I provide is a few small scripts, a few hybrid veggie seeds. I occasionally give resources to those who ask for them.

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

Realistically most of what I have done, I did for me, and then passed it on to the community, such as Macros, or Hybrid Crossbreeds.

Q7. How many Egypt-wide events e.g Acro, Digs or others have you organized in T7?

None zero zip nada. I dislike acro, almost as much as I dislike gravel. I attended a few digs at the start, but with food and shovels, the Wife and I, dig alone mostly. Unless asked to help out someone elses dig, or for projects or research.

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

Beside my 3 split personalities, My RL wife ( but she is Crazier than I am.), otherwise no one

Q9. As DP do you think you should share your password? Do you think a DP should have access to other DP accounts?

No No and No.

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

I would like to see the DP´s form a sort of congress/parliament. Maybe modifing the ballot system, to allow ballots to go to the DP Congress for a vote, bypassing the normal Ballot voting system, allow us to maybe move some ideas and features into the game faster. But only on ballots where the petitioner selected Congressional vote rather than public. I would like to see the DP role, expand officially into Dispute Resolution, giving mini men similar to calling a DEV, but to call a DP for disputes, this coupled with the congress could allow the DP´s as a whole to them look over, discuss and vote on disputes.

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

What color eyes I have? because they are pretty, and I want to talk about them.

Q12. Closing Statement

Why do I want to be DP. Honestly I want to pass the test. I do not really want the power to ban. I can not dream of a reason I would use a DP Ban. I Yes I am sure we can bang our heads around till we find something so horrible, that I would say, "that deserves a ban"but the chances of that happening fall between slim and none. This game does not really attract the trolls and troublemakers, this game attracts a much different class of gamer. Would I ever use my ban, YES but it would require a ballot to pass, the same way Geo**** was banned, thru a server ballot, and a server consensus. I would love to extend the DP role into more of an activate and server useful role. The DP Congress concept I really do like, and I am currently writing a petition for it. What do I bring to the DP pool, my sense of humor, my laid back reaction to most things, allowing me to think it through and then react ( most of the time).

John Q. Egyptian Under what circumstances would you use the ban as DP?

Read the Closing statement directly above!

Balthazarr Since many of you have played for many tales I am curious who was your first mentor(s) and what did they do to help you to become so in love in this game that you have now played for so long? Is there any particular attribute or skill they imparted upon you that really sticks in your memory?

I found this game just days after the last monuments went up in T2. As a lost and confused young lad, I was found by Squirranha, and he mentored me for a few days as T2 ended. As T3 begin, he continued his support, and I built my cp close to his on the northern reaches of LOR. I gained from him the sense and joy of a smaller guild, and a simpler way of playing. We have played on and off since till T5. T6 I had to leave the game at the mid point. I haven't seen him since, but I really enjoy our talks, and wish he would return. One other thing he taught me was, never build 1 or 2 of something, if its worth building 1-2 you will need 5-6 before you know it. Oh and he should me that there were macros for this game, and that jumpstarted my love of tinkering with them in this game.

My Macro´s Demo Videos for most of the macros are below

Here are a few of my Macro´s

They first ones are all Autohotkey Macro´s

Plant all crops where you stand must be OFF
The seed you want to plant pinned top left corner!
Near water and it should refill at the end of each Loop.

All scripts will Plant 8 (eight) seeds.

Sidenote: I dont really provide support for these. I simply make them because I need them, and share them with my guild.
Sometimes I share them with everyone.
But I generally do not support them, mainly as I do not want to spend more time troubleshooting for you, than playing for myself.

Donations: If you feel, WOW these macros saved my life, how do I say thanks. I accept all donations from 1000 to 1 veggies, or a simple chat with Thanks in it :)

Carpentry Blades

1920x1080 Resolution

REQUIRES COOPER TO RUN.....

knocks out 7k carp blades in about 15sec.

will release later, trying to push the quality to 8k first

Short notes:
Stand as in the image, and place the mouse were the mouse is in the image. When you load the script, position the mouse, set the number of repetitions, and hit Enter.

I recommend you only do 1 blade at first till you get the position right. anything about 6800 is a keeper, the quality will bounce between 6800 and 7100.
