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?

Not really sure where to start. I been playing since tale 1,2,3, part of 4 and now i'm back for Tale 7. What keeps ATITD one of my favorite games is the unique community. I been playing MMO's among other types of games most my life and ATITD has the most kind and helpful community in any game I seen, along with the amazing players there tons too do. Love exploring new skills, building complex stuff, helping Egypt grow so to speak by finding what we need and doing what I can too provide it.

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?

This is a tricky subject. But all of these are game mechanics and seem to be fully supported by the staff and the community. So I really do not see these are worthy events of intervention. Whats a worthy event too me would be purposely building wood planes around someones CP and after numerous attempts to communicate with the offendent to remove them, and proves unsuccessful I would intervene in what way I can, avoiding harsher punishments as long as I am able.

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?

As always I will take all facts and opinions into consideration and voice them to the others, but overall we have amazing DPs as it is, and if they come to a vote that we should or should not act on something, then that is what I would do.

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

My current focus is on Body and Arch test mainly at the moment. After i get some important ones too me out the way i'm gonna broaden myself more to the group activity ones. So the short answer is not too well, I don't even think I've done the principle to most of the leadership ones.

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

Ahhh leadership. There always around in large groups. You got the ones with the louder voices and the good hearts that helps organize certain events, Then you got those blue ones that works on skill sets and resources that Egypt is falling back on, which is why I took up glassblowing specifically cause we had no one. among misc other skills. Along with teaching new players to help grow the community. My next project along these lines are to organize a dig for the mats needed in cement for research. currently getting chariot repair 2 up and running then off to the explosive labs for gravel.

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

I try to find what Egypt is lacking and fill it. (Also a hobby of mine). An exsample would be Engypt lacked talented glass blowers for Dis coils and hookahs, so I practiced and practiced till I could blow high quality ones, then gave them out free for the smoking event. and 6000Q coils out to those who are working on plants. I try and help new players settle in and find stuff in the game they like, along with a little encouragement to help them get started in those situations

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?

In Earlier tales I would of been against them, but as I grown more into ATITD I learned the game has also grown into the use of macros and I fully believe in the rules they use. Without being able to mass produce most amenities we use, the economy and many test in ATITD would crash. Especially before we had ways to mass produce many things with our new fancy research. having to make paint 1 DB at a time, or planting veggies before we had the pyramid and aquaduct bonuses, Egypt needs macros to help run the gam

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

I sure do! ME! my spouse is my RL fiance that does so much for me. And does not share her account with ATITD or any other game with anyone :) she paranoid just like me with that kind of stuff.

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

Personal I think its a more ' too each there own ' kind of situation. I do think it would be more simpler if they did not for numerous amount of reasons.

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

Anything to better help organize players into such an event base games like ATITD. Perhaps a way to host more events (on time :P) at more timezone other then the weekends.

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

Honestly , anything that isnt a loaded question to make me sound better. I dont want to be a DP cause load the questions into my favor. I rather you ask me about my hobbies in the game. Or if Iaaaaaa have a certain herb you need. Maybe a short chat about your views on what the devious sheep are up too, just dont ask me questions that can easily be answered in a way for the only meaning of making me sound 'amazing!'

Q12. Closing statement.

No matter what happens in this election. I'm glad to be a part of it, and now that I have y'all reading this page. I wanna thank the community for being awesome. For giving me so much fun throughout the years. tale after tale...you guys/girls are always there. other mmo's community could learn a lot from y'all..
