Greetings! As you may have gathered, I'm currently in the running for the position of Demi-Pharaoh. Since I'm probably not as widely known as some of my opponents, I thought I'd jot down a little information about myself to give folks an idea of who I am and what I'm about.

I'm a guy who enjoys the game, especially the more complex systems. I like working with people who are interested in learning some of the mechanics, and get a lot of positive comments on my ability to teach. I'm always happy to help folks with alloys, wood/metal treatment, chemistry, and marble prospecting, among other things.

I'm a guy who enjoys the game, especially the more complex systems. I like working with people who are interested in learning some of the mechanics, and get a lot of positive comments on my ability to teach. I'm always happy to help folks with alloys, wood/metal treatment, chemistry, and marble prospecting, among other things. I have a special fondness for the design of Thought tests, though I'm sort of taking it easier on those this telling so that I can concentrate on stuff I haven't done before.

I am somewhat of a gaming purist. I don't use alts, and I don't use macros. I don't think that makes me better than anyone else, and I don't look down on those who do use them. I simply find it more satisfying to meet the game's challenges in the manner in which I think they were intended.

I enjoy both the cooperative and competitive aspects of the game. I support anyone's right to play the game in their own style ''as long as they don't unduly hamper anyone else's playstyle''. This is a huge gray area, and is the major source of drama in the game. Two examples that illustrate my philosophy:

I enjoy both the cooperative and competitive aspects of the game. I support anyone's right to play the game in their own style ''as long as they don't unduly hamper anyone else's playstyle''. This is a huge gray area, and is the major source of drama in the game. Two examples that illustrate my own philosophy:

* Obelisk Queues. The rules set out for the Test of the Obelisk are pretty simple: hold the largest obelisk for a prescribed length of time and you pass. Queues are a valid way to pass the test, but no more valid than skipping the queue and overbuilding the current highest. Queue jumpers, in my opinion, don't deserve the bullying and social pressure they often receive.

* Conflict Gaming. While the rules for the actual play of Conflict games are also well laid out, those for how to conduct matching up with opponents are not. A number of players subscribe to the "I'm not breaking any rules, so my playstyle is valid" theory when they play fixed games against alts or friends to artificially boost their ranking for prize determinations. In this case, however, I think common sense needs to win out. We're all familiar with similar competition formats in real life (i.e. any sort of game/sport tournament), and it's unthinkable to

It should be no different in Egypt.
