A little information about me first perhaps. I am from England in the "other world" and I am of a calm demeanor with a passion for helping others in any way I can. I  bring this personality into the game I hope and try to help out anyone who needs it. I spend at least 12 hours a day in Egypt so am around to help people an awful lot of the time.

I am based in Meroe, a little north of PacMan Lake, a 5 minute run from the Chariot Stop.
  
== What does being a DP mean? ==
+
Oh and one more thing............. A Working Class Hero is something to be - John Lennon
  
My beliefs in terms of what the role encompasses are those of a helper, a mentor to others (both of which of course don't require one to be a DP but having the title announces to others who don't know you, that you are there to help) and as a mediator and an arbitor of Conflict Resolution.
+
== Things I can help with ==
  
 +
Like anyone in Egypt there are things I'm good at and things I'm not so good at! Things I have gotten good enough at to be able to help people with are:-
  
== The Ban Stick ==
+
Board Treatment
  
There is, of course, the subject of what has become known as "The Ban Stick", i.e. the ability of a DP to ban people. In all my time as a player here I have never seen anyone banned and nor do I believe it to be necessary except in extreme circumstances. I cannot think of a circumstance where a ban would be my first course or action, or even my second.
+
Gearboxes
  
If it did ever come to a stage where I was thinking that a ban may be necessary, it is in my nature to discuss this with other DPs who have been around longer than I to canvass their help/opinions before taking such an action.
+
Chemistry (To the degree of being able to produce things like Gem Glue/Potash Ointment etc)
  
 +
Otter Catching
  
== Improving the Game ==
+
Music-Making (Test of The Orchestra)
There are many calls for improvements and, at this time, much concern over a falling population. You could say ATITD is reflecting the current economic decline globally! Clearly we need action to improve this. I believe an increased and continued population would help many issues. Some tests are becoming too easy and others too hard, because of the low population. Also, let's face it, a higher population equals more financial stability for eGenesis and that in turn means more improvements in the game, we hope.
 
  
I observe that most of the people who have left the game recently have done so born out of a certain level of frustration at the various issues within the game. I would make use of what I believe are very good mentoring skills and conflict resolution skills to try and stem the tide of people who are thinking of leaving the game. Sometimes the frustration can be avoided with a little help on a tricky test or skill. There are those that have helped me master something I once thought was impossible and I am eternally grateful for that. I shall continue to "pass this on" and try to help others learn new things

== Paint Recipes ==
 +
Alexa has been working on some paint recipes and she can now make various colours. Contact either of us if you need one we can do. The recipe page is here:-  [http://www.atitd.org/wiki/tale4/User:Stevehotep/Paint Paint Recipes]
  
== In Closing ==
 
I will not profess to "have all the answers" to the problems or to have the most experience out of the candidates, but on the other hand I don't believe they are the most important qualifications either. I have the passion for the game, for helping people and, more importantly perhaps, for listening to them. If elected I will happily listen to any suggestions for improvements to the game and do anything I can to help with them.
 
  
I wish the best of luck to all the candidates and hope that the best candidate is successful, whomsoever that may be.

== Thistles ==

A Good Egyptian Day to you,


Who is Stevehotep?

A little information about me first perhaps. I am from England in the "other world" and I am of a calm demeanor with a passion for helping others in any way I can. I bring this personality into the game I hope and try to help out anyone who needs it. I spend at least 12 hours a day in Egypt so am around to help people an awful lot of the time.

I am based in Meroe, a little north of PacMan Lake, a 5 minute run from the Chariot Stop.

Oh and one more thing............. A Working Class Hero is something to be - John Lennon

Things I can help with

Like anyone in Egypt there are things I'm good at and things I'm not so good at! Things I have gotten good enough at to be able to help people with are:-

Board Treatment

Gearboxes

Chemistry (To the degree of being able to produce things like Gem Glue/Potash Ointment etc)

Otter Catching

Music-Making (Test of The Orchestra)


Paint Recipes

Alexa has been working on some paint recipes and she can now make various colours. Contact either of us if you need one we can do. The recipe page is here:- Paint Recipes


Thistles

I have a stock of thistles which I can trade for. The list is at Steve's Thistles Stock

So I learnt the basics from reading the many chemistry pages out there - Maybe I can help make more chemists by writing a real simple guide.
