 <br>'''Afrah:''' Er, I don't even remember what my OWN name was, in the beta before T1. Pharaoh watched me grow flax, but he didn't give me any guidance, so he does not get credit for that. :-D
 <br>'''Afrah:''' In T2, TheMazeEcho was very supporting and helpful, and we are fortunate to still have him with us today.

 ===Q4, Djehuty: What are your thoughts on an individual monopolizing a teach or resource, for example Silver Vein in T2, Raeli Ovens in T6, xxx tech/resource in T7? Do you feel there should be *any* limits on "ownership"?===
 <br>'''toothless:''' That may be unpopular but i think if they put the work to build the stuff, they should be allowed to do with it as they please. and if these player then quit/leave the game and their monopolized items become just a bother for actual player, then that would be something else.

 <br>'''Kuu:''' Not really? That's not to say I wouldn't participate in that stuff but I think the emphasis on DPs being Leaders in the broad sense is not really necessary. Look at all the leaders we have organizing things, like Augir is organizing this debate right now. It's appreciated and he doesn't need any bans to do it (though he might want a few ;)
 <br>'''Afrah:''' tehm: I wouldn't say that the DPs are *responsible* for ensuring the quality of the game, per se. Quality is the provider's obligation. That said, the DP is in a position where he/she has a louder voice, and as a fellow player, has a vested interest in seeing that the players have a quality experience. Using that louder voice to say some things that might make the game a better place is certainly a benefit.

 <br>'''LuluDivine:''' I cannot imagine that I'd simply disappear. I know I did disappear for a time in t4, when I was going through some incredibly difficult personal things, but I did eventually come back. At this point, I know too many people in this game in RL to ever be 'unfindable', even if I were to be hit by a bus. I prepaid the whole Tale before T7 started, so I intend to get my money's worth, and squeeze this place for every last drop. ;)
 <br>'''Kuu:''' Dreasimy wants me to say that I'm an asshat on IRC. I don't really agree with that evaluation, but I respect her opinion.

 <br>'''LuluDivine:''' Widkeddelite, I think the game only functions as an interesting community when an appropriate *balance* between competition and compromise is made. I think that perhaps in the past there has not always been this balance - Teppy was often overly focused on generating not just competition, but out-and-out contention, drama, and strife. I'm a big fan of friendly competition, and think that friends can compete against one another in many situations to the benefit of all competitors. If ATITD had no competition at all, for anything, then I honestly think the game would lose a great deal of character.
 <br>'''Pascalito:'''The 2 positions make this game unique. Example: work together and make "obelisk queues" or just try to be big and brave an compete - both are allowed, it is up to the community to figure out what they prefer to do, conflicts of interest will happen obviously. Those not interested in the drama do not have to read the "drama chats". Another example: seize bureau. Again, people will be responsible for the result of their actions.

 ===Steel: What has been your FAVORITE accomplishment in-game (Test, guild, personal, anything?) throughout all the tales played?===
 <br>'''merek:''' Balance between cooperation and competition is a tricky thing. When we started back in T1, almost no one knew each other. Now it's like a class reunion, so the levels of cooperation and competition have changed.

 <br>'''LuluDivine:''' I'm not sure how I would confirm that a person were using game private chats for potentially illegal purposes, until they propositioned someone who took a screenshot. As that strays directly into 'actually illegal by laws of the real world' status, I believe my only appropriate option would be to inform the game staff immediately and have them deal with the problem. From a legal perspective, it would absolutely be game staff responsibility at that point, and they would be the only people capable of confirming was going on in private chats that even a DP would not have access to.
 <br>'''Pascalito:'''cate, I have absolutely no clue what kind of activity you mean. I certainly hope I would recognize something fishy after all those years.
