Sorry for missing the DP debate. It was Canadian Thanksgiving and I was with family. Please see my answers to the questions below and feel free to chat me if you have a question you would like me to answer.

---

Q1: Have you played in any other tales and become DP, and even if not, what makes you

trustworthy to hold a ban and not use it?

A1: I started playing in Tale 1 and played until Tale 3, as Ryhiad. I have come back after

missing Tales 4 to 6. I was not a DP in any of the tellings I had played previously. As for

trustworthyness, I feel most people in this community would be able to be trusted with the DP

power. I think there are only a rare few that would intentionally abuse the DP power. Aside

from the fact that I would never want to hurt my own reputation within this community, I also

play with my mother (Jeslyn) and would never do anything to draw negative attention her way and

ruin her experience in the game.

---

Q2: How many accounts do you have access to?

A2: Just my one account. No alts or access to anyone elses account.

---

Q3: Since many of you have played for many tales I am curious who was your first mentor and what

did they do to help you to become so in love in this game that you have now played for so long?

Is there any particular attribute or skill they imparted upon you that really sticks in your

memory?

A3: I wouldn't name one individual. I think it is the community as a whole that was my mentor

and the main reason I love this game so much. It is amazing how mature and helpful the

community is, considering all the other online games I have played. It is the friendly nature

and helpfulness of the community that sticks in my memory the most and is how I try to be as

well when dealing with others in Egypt.

---

Q4: What are your thoughts on others monopolizing a tech 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".

A4: I personally prefer when individuals choose to share and work together, but I don't think

players who don't agree with that line of play should be punished. As someone in a two person

guild, with no alts, I appricate the larger guild that help people like me out by making public

mines and other public spaces. There are people who put a lot of effort into finding rare

resources though and I don't think they should be forced to make them public. I have always

been a fan of giving individuals like that options or incentives to make things more public.

For example, I loved the law in a past telling that allowed mine owners to take a percentage of

the ore that others mined at their mines. Another idea would be to allow mine owners to set a

cost to make their mines public for a set amount of time (ex: the mine owner could set a 100cc

cost in exchange for the mine being made public to the payee for 30 minutes).

I would like to make clear that I would never ban someone for not making their resources public.

---

Q5: What progress have you made in Mentorship and are you trying to become an Oracle of

Leadership?

A5: I currently do not have any mentor shrines, but plan to attempt to pass the test of

Mentorship and all other leadership tests. I truly wish to see an Oracle of Leadership at the

end of this tale. If I become DP but I am unable to complete all the other leadership test, I

will do everything I can to help a fellow DP become an Oracle, so that we have one.

---

Q6: How would you handle a dispute with players that don't speak english.

A6: I believe a DP should be ready to handle an issue that comes up not only in the english

community, but also the others. Due to this I actually voted for Azunar in my final DP round,

as he speaks both French and English well (and seemed like he would be a great DP). If a french

issue came up I would definately see if he would be willing to assist. Upon being elected DP, I

would also work to find a german contact to have in case of a issue in their community. My

wife, who doesn't play, also speaks some french and could likely assist me in a pinch.

---

Q7: You have all played more than one tale, please tell us if you have ever played a tale from

state to amnesties and if voted as DP do you plan to play this tale to the end.

A7: I played Tale 2 from start to finish. Even if I am not elected DP, I play to play out this

entire telling. I am having my first child in Decemeber (expected date is Dec 22), so I may

take a small break around then, but I do intend to keep playing. In the case of an emergency where I can't make it back into game, I am sure my mother (Jeslyn) would let the community know.

---

Q8: Candidates, do you intend to nominate Geoguy and his accomplice (possible mule) Dumpster Shrimp for a ban vote under the recently passed anti-griefing law?

A8: I have been keeping up with what Geoguy/Geodude/Geo____ is up to and even went into the Tale 6 wiki to research his banning last tale. We even had an individual in my last DP group who contacted him and advised us that Geo____ intends to act out until banned. I would definately nominate him for a ban under the new law.

---

Q9: DP seems more like a popularity contest not a real Leadership contest, do you share this opinion?

A9: I believe poplarity can be helpful in winning a DP election, but I don't think it is the only thing the community takes into consideration when electing a DP. Being popular is a sign that people like you and I think being the type of person people can like is a good quality for a DP.
