May 2005, I think. I don't remember that far back.

;Why did you choose Dai M'Hael?
I got along real well with both SDS & DM peeps. But I fit in better with DM, so chode DM.

== Previous Tower Involvement ==

* Current Events Moderator, June-December 2008

== Brief Biography ==

Whats your RL name?
My real name is "Mike Whitty". I'm happy for it to be used at the moment.

How long have you been a member of TV.net?
I've been a member of TarValon since December of 2004. I'm slightly
shocked that it's been so long.

How did you discover TV.net?
I discovered TarValon through a link somewhere or other while I was
re-reading the series in preparation for Crossroads of Twilight's release.

Beyond the WoT books, what other authors do you enjoy
Being someone who commutes quite a lot on public transport (trains,
busses, et cetera), I tend to read quite a lot. Most recently I have read
through Raymond E Feist's Riftwar saga (all 14-odd books), and I'm about
half way through the "New Jedi Order" series of Star Wars books at the
moment. The authors that I follow most closely are Peter F. Hamilton, Kevin
J. Anderson, Raymond E. Feist and George R.R. Martin. I would also recommend
David Gemmell (now deceased).

In what capacity, or with what projects, did you assist TV.net in order to be raised?
For my "raising project", I did something very similar to what you are
doing, but focussing on the Dai M'Hael Aes Sedai.

What do you enjoy doing in RL?
I read quite a lot, I play some computer games, I play Saxophone.

Why is DM special to you?
DM is special because, no matter how long you've been gone, you'll always
find friends when you return.
