- tat2mikki: so now you are upset with me?
- voip83110: no
- tat2mikki: I was at the same point you are, < 60 days into the game when I first tried DP. I am speaking from experience when I say it is near to impossible for you to advance past the next round at that "game age".
- tat2mikki: For the next round, people will not even take you seriously with less than 90-120 days of game play.
- tat2mikki: It's sad, it may not be "right", but it's the way it is.
- voip83110: yea
- voip83110: i know i'm different thoough
- tat2mikki: We all think we're different. But I'm telling you how Egypt as a whole works/thinks when it comes to dealing with their DP rounds.
- voip83110: but i am friends with so many people... i'd have support
- tat2mikki: But using what just happened as an example, I'm going to show you what I meant about you not being ready yet or having enough game experience yet.
- tat2mikki: You started a test for DP without enough understanding of how the test worked to know that tieing the vote would result in nobody advancing. This is the type of knowledge that comes from "game experience" and is where you are still needing time to learn.
- voip83110: refa told me that a comp. automated who went on if it was a tie
- tat2mikki: And to be honest hon. You may have lots of friends, but when it comes down to voting, people don't vote their "friends" through on the final.
- tat2mikki: Refa knows better than that.
- tat2mikki: Refa played you, simple as that.
- voip83110: : (
- voip83110: how do you know he wasn't actually trying to help me
- tat2mikki: Refa has a very detailed campaign speech on his user page, he has done a lot of research on how the different tests of Leadership work. So he would know that a tie vote would mean nobody advanced.
- tat2mikki: this is copied straight from the wiki on tests > leadership > DP at http://www.atitd.org/wiki/tale3/Tests/Test_Of_The_Demi-Pharaoh
- tat2mikki: .
- tat2mikki: The member who receives the most votes will advance to the second round. In the case of a tie, no member from that group will advance
- voip83110: oh : (
- tat2mikki: So I have no doubt that he knew exactly what he was doing.
- voip83110: yea
- tat2mikki: I'm sorry he did that to you, but this is why game experience and/or research is so important, especially on a test of this much importance.
- voip83110: yea
- tat2mikki: well, it's now 4am and I have to be up in 5 hrs
- voip83110: oh ok
- voip83110: nite
- tat2mikki: night :)
- voip83110: sorry about the DP incidint
- tat2mikki: You just chose to believe the wrong person ;(
- voip83110: yea
- tat2mikki: One thing you need to realize about me. I am so honest it hurts. If I give an answer, it's because I've looked it up and know it to be a fact. And if I don't know the answer I'll say so. And if I say I'll do something, then come hell or high water I'm gonna do it.
- tat2mikki: which reminds me, you still have a chest with 200 cc in it sitting in my camp :)
- voip83110: lol oh yea
- tat2mikki: I also noticed he logged out as soon as the announcement popped up in DP
- voip83110: yea
- tat2mikki: before I go....want to leave you with a link to a wiki page and then a direct quote from that page
- tat2mikki: http://www.atitd.org/wiki/tale3/Users/Refa
- tat2mikki: I am proud to the point of feeling I need defend myself even when others don't see me having been slighted... But I do maintain a focus on being honest and upfront about my goals and ideas. I might not always share everything, but I will certainly not lie.
- voip83110: is that what he said?
- tat2mikki: straight quote from his wiki user page on why he would make a good DP
- voip83110: : (
- tat2mikki: Consider it a lesson learned and move on
- voip83110: ok i'll try : (
- voip83110: well i'm gonna get to bed
- voip83110: i'm sooo tired
- tat2mikki: me too
