WikiDebate between JosS and Kalmkitty from November 2014

GHawkins Hello Egypt, and welcome to the DemiPharaoh WikiDebate between JosS and Kalmkitty. The candidates have expressed a preference for a debate on the wiki instead of live, and I'm more than happy to deliver. For those familiar with the debates, you may recall that both JosS and Kalmkitty have already taken part in a debate this tale, but that was some time ago so repeat questions may have a developed a new answer in that time, or the candidates can save some time by doing a quick copy and paste. ;)
GHawkins If you have any questions that you would like to submit during the week, feel free to edit the wiki yourself and notify the candidates, or /chat GHawkins and I will add the question to the wiki and notify the candidates myself. As ever, questions can be made anonymous though comments, discussion, personal attacks, and redundant questions will be tables or asked to be rephrased.


FIRST QUESTION 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?

JosS Example formatted text to use as template.
Kalmkitty I have played since Mid T2 and one of the most enjoyable parts of the game are the people. I love meeting new players and offer any help that is needed. I came here from The Sims Online and fell in love with the game. .


SECOND QUESTION: If you win this election you will pass the test of the Demi-Pharaoh and be our 38th DP of this tale. There are a variety of points of view on what the role of DP should and shouldn't be, what is yours, especially now that we're in an unprecedented free to play era.

Kalmkitty I feel a DP's duties are to act as a buffer between disputing parties and to act in accordance with the other DP's to resolve serious grievances!


THIRD QUESTION: Do you think there is a role in ATITD for disruptive players? How should DPs interact with players that intentionally buck community norms?

Kalmkitty I believe the map and game are large enough for people to play the game as they wish as long as they are not interfering with anyone. People who intentionally cause harm to another should be first talked with to see if there is a way they can enjoy the game without being disruptive. I would like to see a change in how conflicts are handled. More like a trial... a small temporary member guild for the DPs and the people in conflict to talk together. The DP's can discuss in the DP guild and decide together how to handle it.


FOURTH QUESTION: 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 made against them, and were seeking your intervention as DP and possibly a ban?

Kalmkitty I would have to allow the other DP's to handle the situation. My friends and guildmates would need to seek help from another DP. Or I would ask for assistance and guidance from the more experienced DPs.


FIFTH QUESTION: Under what circumstances would you consider utilizing the tools created by the Anti-Griefer's Act (AGA) law? What do you consider 'griefing'? Do you feel the AGA has been used well so far?


SIXTH QUESTION: The AGA is one power that the DPs have in their toolkit, what other powers would you like to see DPs hold, in the interests of improving game play and making you more effective in meeting your stated goals?


SEVENTH QUESTION: Does anyone have access to login to your account? (i.e., would any person other than yourself ever have access to your ban powers)? Note: spouselog does not allow access to ban powers.


EIGHTH QUESTION: Have you played ATITD under other names in this tale or past ones, and if so, what were the names you played under?


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


TENTH QUESTION: Select a question that you wish had been asked during this debate and answer it for yourself. Also, answer the question from the other candidate.
