 <br>'''LuluDivine''': One last note, before we begin: Lukeera was originally planning to moderate this debate, but due to RL issues was not able to be here today. The candidates were all super flexible about scheduling a new debate on very short notice - props to all of them!
 == Q1. For those who have never had the opportunity to interact with you before can you share a little about yourself, what you enjoy about ATITD as well as how long you have been playing?==

 <br> '''Handsome''': In case of this a long time I wasn't encouraged to candidate for DP, even though I have good reasons that let me believe to able to be make a good job as DP. This i'll explain later - see Q12, Closing Statement please! :) I've played T1 (the german version named Kemet) and T2. My rl obliged me to stop the game for a long time. But I could return since T6 and that makes me really happy!
 <br> '''Handsome''': In T6 and T7 I live in DoN. Here I built my camp in a awesome Oasis in the desert but near the CP. I love to explore and make new experiences. To meet new people and get new friends is exciting! Try to speak with them in other languages makes fun. I love the atmosphere of the landscapes, day and night changing, the sounds... (ok, now, in 2016 the graphic could be better - e.g. I wished less perforated clothes for us all ;) ) More important is the great community here and the absolut logical structure of our game.

 == Q12. Closing Statement ==
- '''LuluDivine''': That concludes the full question portion of today's debate! I will post some closing comments the candidates (or candies, if you like - mmmmm, tasty) put together earlier, and they will have a chance to post any final thoughts. If anyone wants to ask questions at this point, please feel free to post questions directly into ET!

 <br> '''Handsome''': I have two good reasons that make me believe to be able to do a good job as DP!
 <br> '''Handsome''': 1st: Many different Nations joined our game. That implies different - cultures, languages, points of view. DP's here will build a group and decide together. Therefore I think it's a good idea to have DP's from this different cultures because that will enrich the collective view of a problem and so find a better solution.

 <br> '''MissBarbara''': Apart from the granting of ponies to players, I really like Sabuli's proposed expansion of the DP powers with the ability for 3 DPs to overturn a ban. Another thing that I could also find useful and could improve gameplay for a lot of people would be "Free announcing of events in the calendar".
 <br> '''Augir''': A power of smile :) to disperse all the grudges and misunderstandings between players.

+'''Handsome''': Hmm... - As a DP this is a "No-Go" for me!
 <br> '''MissBarbara''': I don't think anyone should share his or her password, DP or not. But especially for a DP I think, that you should honor the trust Egypt has placed in you and therefore not violate that, by sharing your password with anyone. Egypt has picked you as DP, not your friends, and access to banning others is a very serious matter especially for the one that might end up banned for the wrong reason. There has been at least one ban that was done using a borrowed password; this is something that should never happen, under any circumstance.
 <br> '''Augir''': No, never, don't do it!

+'''Handsome''': Only myself has access and no one else ever!
 <br> '''MissBarbara''': Yes, my spouse via spouse log, and no one else. :) We do not share our passwords. Not with each other and not with others. After Balthazarr was elected DP, we did confirm that the exile menu was available via spouse log, helping to dispel the idea that spouses did not have access to the bans of their spouse.
 <br> '''Augir''': Yes I do. My spouse Astia is one of my several minions (alts).

+'''Handsome''': No one. I'm not the great Organizer. But whenever my help is wanted I do what I can.
 <br> '''MissBarbara''': I have been organizing more research than acro and digs in this tale, as others seem very eager to organize those. Therefore I decided to focus more on research this tale. However I do participate in all possible events, mainly to help others or the community as a whole and I am currently working with LadyKaytay and Balthazarr to get a player run event guild up and running, so keep your eyes open for fun and challenging events that will be announced in game :)
 <br> '''Augir''': Like in Tale 5 and Tale 6 I am concentrating on three types of events: 90 or so min Digs for Cuttables, Medium Stones, Bauxite/Gypsum, 60 min Cement Stir parties and 3h or so Acro events. In Tale7 most participants at the Dig - 92 in second week of Sep 2015, Stir 16 in Oct 2015 and longest Acro at RP field 5h 40 min in Jan 2016. As for how many events, public, open for everybody.. in T7 so far 37 Digs, 4 Cement Stir and 7 Acro.

 ==Q6. What specifically have you done to further the growth of the community?==
- '''Handsome''': I participate in common projects. Most of it in DoN because i live there, but some others too. The other way is in rl: I tell to all my friends about our game and try to motivate them to join.

 <br> '''MissBarbara''': Right from the opening of the tale, Balthazarr and I have focused a lot on helping as many as we could. Right off we made many of our structures that were important, such as pottery wheels, rock saw's, masons benches, etc. public useable, so citizens around us didn't have to struggle with their basic needs. Since then, we have continued to donate and help develop our public facilities in SE, and I am very proud of what the local community can offer new citizens in SE. BTW. who do you think grew all of the ingredients to make the ash to fill all those benches in my husband's public glass compound? ;) I have been working very hard on helping unlocking techs, both in SE and in other regions where it was needed and will continue to do so.
 <br> '''MissBarbara''': Also another thing I do and that I find very important, and that I am thankful that a lot of people are good at is; Announcing sightings of safari animals, announcing and posting mushroom's on Shroomdar, announcing pearl beds of importance, Arch sites and anything else that could be helpful for others. It makes me so happy when a person chats me and says: Thanks you for your post on Shroomdar, I am now on my next DN list because of it! Apart from that, I am working on wine, and an orchard that - when it is done - should be able to supply all honeys and fruits for the festivals. I can currently supply 87 of the fruits, and that have already proven to be a good thing, when Old Egypt needed their honeys and wine to open up Ambrosia Brewing :) You are welcome to come and visit at 703,-5441 and have a look :D

 ==Q5. How are you providing leadership in the game and amongst the player base?==
- '''Handsome''': Well, I decide when needed or encourage others to decide when I'm sure that they are better informed.
+'''Handsome''': Well, I decide when needed or encourage others to decide when I'm sure that they are better informed.
 <br> '''MissBarbara''': Leadership comes in many forms and shapes. I am not, and have never been fan of dictatorship or absolute monarchy. I feel that Egypt deserves better than that and that everybody has a right to be heard. Personally, I feel, by being a good example to my fellow Egyptians and by always trying to see things in a larger picture and from different angles, I show people a good way of playing/living in Egypt. Encouraging people to do the right thing, and helping them do the right thing is an important part of providing leadership, I think.
 <br> '''Augir''': With my knowledge about the game I am trying to always be available to answer promptly questions from the other players. My efforts with helping new players has rewarded me so far with 9 Mentor Shrines. I also organize guilds related to major regional efforts and with my 24 cp industrial complex, help with Research, Megalopolis and Aqueduct. In addition Amigos Public Works - a guild with public devices in 7L and organizing Digs and Acro events.

 <br> '''Alkhar''': I would rather call it providing cooperation rather than leadership. In every project I have been in, I wasn't called leader or boss, but I was there doing my share of work and helping everyone else to do as they please to contribute. I have never been hesitant to roll up my sleeves and get to work when I see that things can be done better and I see that people feel more confident with the presence of one as such.

 ==QUICKDRAW #5 - Anonymous: If you had the power to change one aspect of this game, what would it be, and why?==
 '''Istwan''': I would remove levels completely. New players have others to guide them, so levels only hinder their progress.

 <br> '''MissBarbara''': I have already passed The Test of the Bureaucrat, and I am actively working on Mentorship, Kingmaker and Retired Pirates. I also have a Plantation guild with Balthazarr, which I am very excited about. I plan to participate in Hegemon, Cartouche, as well as the other Leadership tests that are released later in the tale. I enjoy the leadership tests a lot and those are my main focus within the 7 disciplines of tests.

 ==QUICKDRAW #4 - Anonymous: What is your position on the various petitions to limit/reduce/eliminate the clutter of rampant bonfires?==
 '''Alkhar''': I support them. Bonfires are annoying most and must be taken care of in the best way possible.
