Revision as of 22:13, 29 January 2010

Final Candidates for the 2nd DP Contest of January 2010 (aka the Blue Moon election) include: Hanid, Murtha, Reyzer, blondie, Trillian, Shebi, and Lukeera.

Feel free to post your views here candidates!

Some basic questions people can expect to answer:

  • Tell us a little about yourself and what you like about ATITD
  • What you feel the role of DP is
  • Why you think people should vote for you

(You may be asking what is a Blue Moon election and why is this DP election described as one. This is the first month this tale we have 2 DP finals in the same month! And like a month with 2 full moons, we are calling it a Blue Moon election. Exciting isn't it?)

  • I was originally brought into the game in Tale 3 by the man I married almost 2 years ago. I have always been a compulsive crafter in MMO's, so the whole concept of building from the first brick up really appealed to me. Telanoc and Nox took me under their wings and made me feel right at home, introducing me to people and making sure I knew what was going on. I discovered the fun or research and digs and best of all mentoring. I really love the more people oriented disciplines best. Leadership and Worship are my favorite disciplines (even if Leadership feels like Politics as often as not).
In real life I am a homemaker because the job market is non-existent where I currently live. I have a lot of time, and Egypt provides me with entertainment and engagement with other people. I know that many people dismiss online friendships as trivial, but I find that I share more with many of my fellow Egyptians than I do with my next door neighbors.
  • Demi-Pharaohs are the arbiters of Egypt. Occasionally they are the executioners of Egypt, as well. A DP should be someone that is able to engage others' viewpoints and help arrive at solutions to conflicts without imposing their own opinions too strongly on the situation. I found in T3 that in most cases the job was just listening to someone's complaints. More often than not, in the process of explaining the problem, the plaintiff arrived at their own solution. Often with active listening to both sides of a dilemma the solution becomes apparent to all parties involved. On the more rare occasions, a behavior is so intolerable that it warrants a ban. The addition of temporary bans is a great boon for enforcing a cooling off period. Thankfully, Egyptians are a community minded lot on the large, and bans are rarely an issue.
  • I know myself to be capable of listening and helping people come together on solutions. I believe that I am approachable, reasonable, and open minded. I am also capable of doing unpleasant things if they become necessary.
