 '''Tobel''': I started playing early/mid T2 and T3 for a few weeks but had to leave both times due to deployments in Iraq and no internet there. I played T4 from Day 1 but really overdid it and got burned out way too fast. My activity tapered off after that. Since this start I've been taking it at a much better pace instead of going nuts (its a long telling I hear ;) ). I attend college in the morning and work part time in the midday/afternoon. Most of my evenings and weekends I'm on ATITD.<br>
 '''Set''': Well I play everyday, I expect that to continue, even if I can't play a significant portion on a particular day I make an effort to check in for chats the require attention, just in case. In other tales I've never gone missing, even when the game ground to a halt content-wise, I always find something to occupy myself. I am well-aware of the DP curse that seems to happen to many, soon after getting elected they magically become disinterested, I can't imagine that happening to me honestly  <br>
 '''Set''': I make an effort to not get burnt out, my strategy for that is doing what I like and not doing what I don't like, I recommend it highly :)<br>

		+	Set: Technically DP is about choosing a DP the test of the Kingmaker is tangential to the real goal we should be focusing on, picking people and who would make good DPs <br>
		+	Set: there are those who disagree though, and would say that this is all about the test of the Kingmaker and how they vote is only governed by what vote will help them pas that test, which includes attempting to deadlock rounds their candidate isn't in.<br>
		+	Set: how do you all feel about that, should our rounds be about electing the best DP candidates or should it be about getting ahead in Kingmaker <br>
		+	Orishas: Well I definitely disagree with it being about passing the test <br>
		+	Orishas: its about the best candidate passing <br>
		+	Snicker: LINK <br>
		+	Snicker: I would much rather have a good candidate than pass the test <br>
		+	Set: You do not have to sign up for the test of the kingmaker to participate in DP rounds by the way, thus why I feel that putting the page under the kingmaker test page is misleading and perpetrating that misconception (I'll admit the argument Im making is a little semantic) <br>
		+	Orishas: I'll certainly vote for my candidate if they make it to the election, but thats because I think I chose a good candidate to begin with. <br>
		+	Orishas: Unless of course they are competing against me ;) <br>
		+	Snicker: No, but the people participating in the Demi-pharoah chat are in this test <br>
		+	Set: No <br>
		+	Set: You do not have to sign up for Kingmaker to sign up for DP <BR>
		+	Orishas: The test is related to the election so I think its a find place to find it on the wiki <br>
		+	Set: Like I said it's semantic, Kingmaker does depend on DO but not the other way around <br>
		+	Snicker: weird - is D-P level gated, then? Because I didn't have the option to sign up the first few times I checked the voting booth <br>
		+	Set: We'd still have DP elections without Kingmaker <br>
		+	Set: I believe it was always level 4 as Kingmaker is now <br>
		+	Snicker: Ah, thanks, Set =) This is my first tale since eartly t1. I played in Beta, helped Teppy with some of the early game concepts. <br>
		+	Snicker: Real life got in the way, though <br>
		+	Set: Pesky rl <br>
		+	Orishas: so snicker - I guess I asked this question to everyone <br>
		+	Snicker: So... why should I be the Demi-Pharoah? Well, like others, I have experience - as a gamer. I've played, or beta-tested, nearly every MMO out there, and recognize that ATiTD is nothing like any other game out there. <br>
		+	Orishas: Why do you think you should be the one to move on? <br>
		+	Snicker: ;) <br>
		+	Orishas: haha <br>
		+	Orishas: timing <br>
		+	Snicker: indeed <br>
		+	Snicker: I've got the real-world leadership experience, as a former manager of a 40-person IT helpdesk, and current submanager for the IT helpdesk of the largest transportation company in the United States (they say the world, but now sure I believe that ;)) <br>
		+	Snicker: and fyi, submanager's not a real title, its just easier than saying "guy with no title who does all the dirty work" <br>
		+	Snicker: I do all the management that the managers are supposed to be doing, but don't have time to do because the customer is too busy nitpicking every little detail. <br>
