 If, during a phoenix race, someone lit a -str incense at CSs and pinned certain racers down with bricks to prevent them from winning, would you consider this griefing, and how would you handle the situation?
-*Archipelago's Answer -
+*Archipelago's Answer - I would definitely consider this griefing.  I would immediately contact the person engaging in this activity and ask them to stop.  If they failed to do so, I would escalate the issue through the appropriate channels until a positive resolution was reached.
 *Philadelphia's Answer - The incense at the CS along with the 'gift' of bricks is griefing. This is in no way fair 'game parameters'. If confronted with this situation I would ask that the players remove the incense and refrain from further brick distribution. I would also ask that these players be disqualified (and all prizes taken away if it got that far) from the event, contacting a GM or even Teppy...I hear he does answer his phone.

 In previous tales we've had laws/features that prevent anonymous use of explosives. How would you handle a situation where you knew someone maliciously destroyed someone's belongings or say, a Chariot Stop. Does the type of item(s) destroyed make a difference in how you feel it should be addressed? If you were DP and the person who used the explosives was a guildmate of yours, what would you do?
-*Archipelago's Answer -
+*Archipelago's Answer - This is a situation where I would want to gather as much information as possible because of the severity of the offense.  If it was determined malice was involved, this would certainly fall under the category of bannable offense.  I would definitely consider the overall context of the event, to include item destroyed, but if the item were something like a chariot stop it would be highly likely the person's intent was not good. I would treat this situation the same regardless of who committed the offense.
 *Philadelphia's Answer -The use of explosives to damage someone else's property is in my opinion a bannable offense. There is only one reason why you would blow it up and that would be to grief, unless it was by accident, but they would have to come up with a really good case for that. That would be a situation in which I would discuss it with the offender, the victim and with the other DPs and come up with a decision to ban or not. If it was a guildmate, I would discuss it with the same parties, but I would asked to be relieved from the banning  voting to avoid a  conflict of interest. If all DPs were absent for an extended amount of time and I was the only DP, and if there was really no good reasoning behind the blow up I would ban my guildmate.

 We've had some disputes already this tale some over land use (i.e. building in someone elses 'space'). What role do DPs have in these situations, how would you or have you handled these kinds of disputes?
-*Archipelago's Answer -
+*Archipelago's Answer - I would definitely assist in this sort of situation to diffuse tempers and to find a positive resolution where possible.  In my experience, circumstances like this can usually be resolved through mediated talks and I would certainly help where I could in reframing the issue so both sides could worth through it.  Again, context is important here, and if the perceived incursion was obviously to press the buttons of other player(s), I would work to resolve the problem through measured escalation.
 *Philadelphia's Answer -I've relied on DPs in the past to assist in land use disputes as great conflict resolvers. Most importantly great listeners. IN most cases they were successful. I believe this is a good role for the DPs to play , because of their status  in Egypt. A few tales back I became involved in a dispute regarding the use of guild materials. Both parties could not agree and became rather angry at each other. It took a lot of listening and patience on my part between the two of them and it ended in a doable compromise. The parties no longer talk to each other, but I have rather gotten fond of each of them. Lots of listening skills are necessary. :D

 Have you ever authored a petition that has made it to ballot? If so what was the purpose of the petition. Are you carrying any petitions now? If so, what?
-*Archipelago's Answer -
+*Archipelago's Answer - I have authored several ballots in the past, but I have yet to author one this telling that has made it to the ballot.  I do actively seek out ballots others carry and gather signatures whenever I can.  This telling I have carried several ballots for others, like one used for minimap improvement.
 *Philadelphia's Answer -Several of mine in prior tales received Physics vetoes. This tale I had a petition to allow the L2PBS Microphone  to be picked up from anywhere, and not just in one, physical, location. Petition was turned in with 106 signatures and legal opinion currently is: feature. I also heard rumors that this was going to be implemented....but.....(shrugs)

 Do you want to win this election and become Egypt's 5th DP? If so, why?
-*Archipelago's Answer -
+*Archipelago's Answer - I absolutely want to win this election because I believe I would do the job well.  I am consistent, independently-minded while still having a deep appreciation for the community, and I have the skill set required for the position.  I am decisive, but I actively seek the advice of others when I can because I know the viewpoint of an individual is usually limited.  Also, I have been around since T1 and I have no plans to leave Egypt regardless of what happens!
 *Philadelphia's Answer -Yes, i want to win this election, not for fame or fortune and not just to gain a level.I want to win so I can continue to serve Egypt in additional capacities as conflict resolver. I also want to be entrusted with enforcing and banning griefers. If needed, I would also be able and willing to assist Egypt in building the Leadership monument as silver pointed out in the earlier part of the debate.
