Tell us a bit about yourself.

My name is Tamara, I'm currently 17 years old. I live in Israel and have been living there for all my life.
I enjoy reading quite a lot, I have read Cassandra Clare's enitre series of The Mortal Instruments along with two additional books of hers which are The Bane Chronicles and Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy. Moreover, I love writing. I write stories for myself and my friends revolving around whichever plot comes to my mind.


Game related questions


How long have you been playing Atelier 801 games? I have been playing Transformice for over 7 years now.

How do you like to spend your time in-game? (For example playing vanilla or bootcamp, talking to friends in the tribe house, playing
modules, etc.) Most of the time I can be found in vanilla. Other times in either bootcamp or survivor and rarely in modules such as DeathMatch and Fight or Racing.

How often do you use the forums? I use the Atelier801 forums every day.

What do you consider your areas of expertise? (Are you proficient with the map editor, making modules, keeping up with events, etc.?)
I'd consider myself quite the expert whenever it comes to keeping up with the events (even though I don't finish them all fully). That as well as vanilla and everything Shaman related (how to build, which anchors to use).

Have you ever received any warnings or sanctions in game or on the forums? If so, what were they for? As far as I'm concered, on the forums I haven't recieved a sanction, or I don't remember it. In game I have recieved a ban for a week for simply being in the same room as a hacker in bootcamp. In my opinion that was highly unfair and stupid.

In your own language, talk about some of the times you've enjoyed the most in Transformice.
I'll write in both English and Hebrew.

A time I really enjoyed was when I was playing Truth or Dare with my tribe mates at our tribe house. I actually even brought one of my friends from school to join us on the fun. We had some questions that are on a more personal level as well as odd dares. Moreover, every time I play vanilla with my best mate, we talk on Skype and goof around and make jokes and I wind up having a really good time.
פעם שנורא נהניתי בה הייתה כששיחקתי אמת או חובה עם חבריי לשבט. אני אפילו הבאתי את אחד מחבריי מבית הספר להצטרף אלינו. היו לנו שאלות נורא אישיות וגם חובות מוזרות. בנוסף לכך, כל פעם שאני משחקת ונילה עם חברי הטוב ביותר, אנחנו מדברים בסקייפ, צוחקים, מספרים בדיחות ואני מוצאת את עצמי נהנית ממש.



Helper related questions


How did you find out about the helpers, and when? I found out about The Helpers in 2012, browsing around CheeseForMice forums.

Why would you like to join the helpers team? I would like to join the team because I love helping very much and I believe I'd make a great addition to the team.

Why do you think you should be a member of the team? I think I should be a member on the team because a lot of people from the Israeli community have come to me with questions and I have always given them a correct answer (correct to my beliefs). Furthermore, I'm one of the only people from the community to have decent and understandable English (I'm not saying that others don't know English at all, just a lot of spelling and grammar issues).

Why do you think you should not be a member of the team? I like to make sure that my answers are is perfect and accurate, so I tend to perhaps spend a little too much time thinking on how to reply. However, I've come to a good balance by setting up a system to ensure everything is done the first time correctly. In addition, I am uncomfortable with leaving a question unanswered, I must reply to everyone and give them an answer that fulfills them.

How do you think the team can be improved? Creating Helpers groups for smaller communites, posting a thread on their forums using a translator.

Is there anything else you'd like to mention that isn't covered elsewhere in this application? I am also a translator for the Hebrew community, I can use the skills I've acquired to translate things that international leaders want to say to all coumminites.
