Tailor/Maussi are really 2 players, Detlef (who does all the talking) and May (who is silent most of the time). I'm old, but May is not - let's leave it at that, ok? We live in the San Francisco area (California). I'm a chemist by trade but work in the legal field now and May is a radiologist.
I bet you didn't know that I tried AO for the first time in 2002? Well honestly, I didn't know either until I found the login for my first account about 3 months ago - and it still works!!! Yes, old age makes you forget things...
I started playing AO seriously end of 2006, May started playing a little later. I joined TK early 2007 with Tailor, Agent. Alex actually recruited me. May joined a few months later with Maussi, Doctor (big surprise there).
May left the game at the end of 2007 again because she worked too much, I left in 2008 after sitting on LFT for 3 weeks trying to get a team for Alappa and then 6 weeks straight trying to get the DB quest done - the frustration was just too much!
I came back early 2010 and been here again ever since. After some persuasion, May also decided to give AO another try - and I'm very happy about that! She will take over Maussi again (her orginal toon) and I play the little trader or my secret toon (to be revealed soon). I'm a do-it-yourself player but May likes more the social aspects of the game.
In the past, I used to have a more competitive approach to AO. But now, I know that I suck at the game, except at making credits, so I won't stress over it anymore.
Lastly, I have to give thanks to Z for all the useful game info he has given me over the years - without that, I would have quit AO again, like I did in 2002 (even if I don't remember, I'm sure that was one of the reasons).
Have fun and be happy!
