Aku: /* Use */

[[Structure Maintenance]] is used to maintain a [[Compound]] that does not have a cornerstone installed.

== Source and Cost ==
Structure Maintenance is a multi-school skill. You may pay the tuitions in any order, but you may only purchase one degree at each allowed level (1, 4, 7, 14, 21, 28, 35).

* School of Architecture - 20 [[requires::Oil]]
* School of Art and Music - 4 [[requires::Thermometer]], 100 [[requires::Sheet Glass]]
* School of Body - 300 [[requires::Canvas]], 300 [[requires::Linen]]
* School of Harmony - 500 [[requires::Papyrus Paper]], 125 [[requires::Glass Rods]]
* School of Leadership - 2 [[requires::Large Gear]]s, 80 [[requires::Leather]]
* School of Thought - 300 [[requires::Bricks]], 50 [[requires::Oil]], 50 [[requires::Beeswax]]
* School of Worship - 4 [[Mud Granite]], 4 [[Rose Alabaster]]

Presumably the cost of maintaining the cp would decrease with higher levels of this skill. ''(Needs confirmation.)''

It seems that level 1 makes an unexpanded [[Compound]] free to maintain. --[[User:Lejoni|Lejoni]] 01:38, 20 January 2009 (EST)

Level 1 of this skill will allow you to maintain a compound at no cost as long as it is not below 90%. Once the compound gets below 90% you need to supply materials to maintain. Presumably that 90% threshold would be lower as your skill level increases. I've only tried this on an unexpanded compound. --Eldar
* This doesn't work for me, unless there's an option somewhere I'm not seeing. At SM1, I have a compound at 91% that requires materials to maintain. Cheap, but not free. [[User:Numaris|Numaris]]

Keep in mind maintenance costs are affected a lot by the size of the compound. At level 1, I could repair a small compound at 93 percent at no cost, but a large 50 unit compound at 99 percent required a few materials at the same skill.

Aku: /* Year 3, Akhet I-4 */

==Home==
My home is in Queen's Refuge at 499, -6205. I've joined Mixed Nuts, the Queen's Refuge public works guild so it looks like i'll be hanging around for the time being. Much of the equipment in my compound is public.
*Public equipment
**2 Student Forges with Nail Molds, one has pinch rollers and an extrusion plate.
**1 Master Forge, unimproved
**10 True Kilns
**2 Charcoal Hearths
**15 Improved Brick Racks
**1 Basic Carpenter's Bench (no upgrades)
**1 Student's Casting Box
**1 Anvil (bring your own hammers)
**1 Compression Furnaces
**1 Gyration Cell
**1 Water Mine
**1 Reactory, unimproved
**2 paper presses and 6 drying hammocks (bring your own linen)

I reserve the right to turn any of these back to "Private Use" if i'm in the middle of a project. There is a box next to the charcoal hearths for any donations that anyone would like to make. I'll gratefully accept anything (except mud and sand :-) but don't feel obligated; I'm a big believer in "paying forward".

==Current Projects==
Having the attention span of a mayfly has its disadvantages, but a short "to do" list is not one of them.

===Blacksmithing===
I am currently questing after the 8K shovel and hatchet. I can pretty reliably make a 7.5K one of each (and if anyone wants one send me a tell in-game and we can haggle about price) but once i get there the screwing around i do just makes it worse. Of course i've only been practicing for a day so i am quite hopeful.

Then, of course, i'll start questing for 9K...

Resin wedges, on the other hand, are weird, or at least different enough from the other two that my threashholds seem to be 1K lower.

===Mentoring===
I've been back to Welcome Island several times. I've even helped some people. :-) One or two pledged me a Mentor point but so far no one has actually registered any. Oh, well. It's disappointing but that isn't really why i like Mentoring.

===General Metalworking===
I'm slowly building up the stock to build a blast furnace and reactory of my own. To that end i've been trading with The Goods, a fine institution that i can't recommend highly enough. (Though the new "donation phase" thing is a bit off-putting; i don't see anyone who's not a member of The Goods donating a large gear for free, but perhaps i'm being uncharitable.) I've gotten the concrete and topaz, and will be trading for some tin to try to make steel in the Guild reactory so that i can make the sheeting.

I've become familiar with the reactory and have gotten 100% on steel, brass, bronze, and Moon Steel. It takes me about 6 tries to get a useable amount of metal.

===Skills I am sorta working on===
*Salvage Techniques 4 - my water mine is slowly generating cuttables.

===Social Things===
I'm trying to pay attention to things like digs, acro, and other activties that can only be done with crowds. I'm not entirely succeeding...

==Water Mine Data==
22 degrees, one full winding, 3 Amethysts, 2 Citrine, 1 Jade, 1 Sunstone, 1 Turquoise, 1 Small Quartz, 1 Medium Quartz, 1 Medium Ruby

Since then i've had better luck at 20 or 21 degrees.

==My Semi-Blog==
I'll put my observations here when i am moved to record them, which won't be regularly.

==='''Year 1, Shemu II-24'''===
I've made a lot of progress on my gyration cell. The Moon Steel turned out to be less troublesome than i had planned for, and in fact i've got all 50 smelted. I should be able to get the cement i'll need from The Goods if i can't find it locally. The gravel will be a nuisance as i've run out of Medium Stones. Mostly what's left is mining a huge pile of copper and tin to make the sheeting and then making the sheeting. I may have to put pinch rollers in my second Student Forge to speed up the process.
==='''Year 1 Shemu II-28'''===
I got my second Navigation point for 20 glass rods. I'll set it at the mining compound which i will build next to the guild one. Then i can start mining copper in earnest. I've found an existing gyration cell that i can borrow which will speed things up immensely.
==='''Year 1 Shemu III-10'''===
I finished mining and smelting the copper i neeed for the sheets. Now i just have to forge them. I may have to invest in two more pinch rollers to upgrade another student forge for sheets but that means more mining.

I spent a couple of hours on Welcome Island. Hardly anyone responded to my offer of help though i did have a lively exchange with one fellow who should do fine and a rather odd exchange with another, the second person being unable to understand that i was an experienced player who was chosing to help out newcomers. ("Why r u here?") Overall it was satisfying, but i'm not pushy enough to translate any of it into Mentor points. There is a fuzzy line between helping out a newcomer and being bossy. I err firmly on the offer-only-when-asked side. I'm also "only" on for an hour or two a day at most, so i'm not an ideal candidate for a Mentor. So it goes.

Level 12 continues to elude me. I'll have to investigate Towers again, and start putting myself forward for the Worship init. Acrobatics is progressing slowly but surely and will continue that way since i don't have the fortitude to hang around for one of the massive Acro lines. I like the "acro blobs" better, and they happen periodically around the QR chariot stop, which i can see from my compound.
==='''Year 1 Shemu III-14'''===
I had a run-in with server lag. I was tending my firepit when everything froze for several seconds. When it unlocked i poked the fire but it was too late and the fire went out. It had been burning less than five minutes so in spite of having a full load of papyrus, flax, and leeks i got 12 ash. I was moderately bummed out.

To console myself i set up for a second firepit run, growing 300 flax with some 2/2/2 seeds (which have already been surpassed) and making a papyrus run. During the run i bumped into my friend SamAdams, who helped gather my papyrus, so i stayed around and helped him gather his. He then let me into a small guild he's in which was great because they have a bunch of the cool buildings (including the gyration cell i've been borrowing). I immediately made 600 charcoal in their charcoal oven, in spite of the continued lag. (I did have to abandon my efforts to run the charcoal hearth at the same time.)

This failure to advance in levels is getting to be a problem. I was reviewing my progress on my personal gyration cell and realized that i can't even build it myself until i hit Level 13 because i need Metallurgy III. I think i'm going to have to stifle my urge to own the high-tech production buildings and spend some time leveling. With that in mind i put my name on the Metallic Obelisk queue at size 22. I've got two weeks to come up with the materials. The only one that looks hard is the mirror (assuming size 22 still needs only one; i haven't checked the exact requirements yet). The rest i can either make myself or purchase at The Goods without too much trouble. I wonder if i can get my Sheet Glass skill to 7 in two weeks?
==='''Year 1 Shemu III-16'''===
Yesterday was a good day.

I made excellent progress in collecting materials for my hypothetical Metallic Obelisk. I loaded up my Normal Glass furnace with a full 50 units of melted glass and started making glass sheets. It certainly started out grimly. I cracked the first seven sheets i attempted, though in the process i rose to skill 4. Then i succeeded once, and cracked another. By the time i had made 30 attempts i had 18 sheets of glass, having cracked 11 and lost one to over-fueling my bench. I was quite pleased. I hadn't known how many sheets i would have to crack for each skill level, but i hadn't expected to get to skill 6 in one session. I imagine that last level will be quite tedious to achieve, but it looks like it's doable in my time frame.

On the subject of the glazier's bench i have discovered, or reasoned out, a small refinement to the published technique. I have noticed that the later in the ten-tick heating cycle one adds additional fuel the smaller the spike. By watching the item timer tick down (especially easy with sheet glass) i am able to add 2 charcoal during the tenth tick, just before the temperature drops. This results in a spike of about 150 degrees in addition to the normal heat increase. This means that i can run the bench constantly without periodically stopping production to spike and cool it. (My bench is +56, -135.)

I traded the glass sheets with The Goods for strontium, platinum, and iron and still had a good deal of credit left over. If worse comes to worst i should be able to buy one of the mirrors.

I checked the material requirements for a 22-cubit Metallic Obelisk and it does in fact need 2 mirrors which is unfortunate but not unexpected. The materials i don't have are easy for me to produce myself so assuming i can take care of the mirrors and that no queue war erupts i'm in good shape for the Obelisk Test.
==='''Year 1 Shemu III-21'''===
Yay! One of my Prophecies came true. I am now Level 12. I signed up for Safari.

In other news i did another run of 30 attempted glass sheets. I cracked 4, fried one, and ended up with 25. Sadly my skill is still 6/7, but hopefully i'm that much closer to mirrors. I ran the firepit and poked it for a half-hour, only to discover that i had forgotten to put in the limestone. So i got 70 ash, which was nice, but no lime at all which is unfortunate because i actually have plenty of ash and needed the lime. Sigh.
==='''Year 1 Shemu III-22'''===
You can't do anything without doing something else first.

I planned to do some frog/rat/otter hunting today but first had promised to make some carpentry blades for the Queen of Denial guild. I loaded up the anvil and proceeded, using the excellent guides that have been published elsewhere (see the [[Blacksmithing_Guide |Blacksmithing Guide]] and check the references at the bottom of that page.) The "eight hits across the front" with the force 8 Shaping Mallet take some practice, as there are more than 8 nodes across the front edge, but it turns out to only matter a little. I've also added a refinement where i use the Shaping Mallet at force 5 to depress the area behind the edge around the V-shaped notch in the back before starting in on the directions in the guide. The results after following the guide are worse than just doing the guide, but i've been able to clean it up to 7.5K with about fifty more hits, where i could never clean up the guide blade to more than about 7.2K. I ended up with five in the 7.2K range and one 7.5K blade (the last one.)

Running back from QoD to my compound i found a flock of sheep, and being perennially short of leather i grabbed one. I then went in search of a public sheep pen and failed to find one. So i built one to the west of the School of Architecture near the road. I had to dry some rotten flax, and since i was carrying a sheep i couldn't carry more than 200 bricks so i had to make 7 trips back and forth to my compound but it was close enough that it was only annoying. Then i made the pen public, slaughtered my sheep and stored the products.

Time to head out. But on my way to the chariot stop someone announced that they needed witnesses for their wedding. I'm a sucker for that kind of thing besides considering it an obligation of sorts since my compound is in sight of the altar (that is, when people gather at that altar for a wedding i can see the names when i'm standing in my compound.) On the way to the wedding i noticed an intriguing Pathfinder which i poked at while waiting for the crowd to assemble. Someone brought a hookah to the wedding and i got my first point (rhubarb). Then we had the wedding, which took four tries.

Then i got booted from the computer so that my kid could do homework. Ah well, there's always later.
==='''Shemu III-27'''===
I've been in the desert for a couple of days now hunting various critters. I'm going to be a little vague in the descriptions since i don't want to give away any locations. Anyway, i've not seen any rats or otters but did come across an interesting situation with regard to cicadas. I found a spot that had multiple cages and after picking bugs from all of them i decided to try to break the cluster up a little. My first attempt moved all the cages instead of just one and to my surprise there were now more cages visible. It appears that it is possible for cages to be exactly on top of each other, something i hadn't known.

Yikes! Someone dropped out of the Metallic Obelisk queue, so i have four days less than i had planned to come up with two mirrors. I think i'm going to have to cut my rat-hunting expedition short.

==='''Shemu IV-2'''===
I'm still hunting in the desert. I haven't found any rats or otters but did locate a couple of frogs. They seem pretty straightforward and should be my ticket to a strength point.
==='''Shemu IV-7'''===
I'm back from my desert roaming. I found a lot of bugs so that part went well. On the other hand i didn't see any rats or otters. I refurbished a couple of my remote outposts but wasn't able to do anything with the one in the NE corner of the map due to an unremembered complete lack of grass in the area. I'll have to bring some supplies the next time i head that way.

My Sheet Glass skill is now at 7, which happened on the third sheet of my glass run. I had burned and boiled enough supplies to stock the glazier's bench up to 50 glass, so hitting my goal on the third try was somewhat anti-climactic. Still, i can't really complain (or can i? :-).

I let everything cool and pulled the two intact sheets, then headed for The Goods. I got some leather to contribute toward a guild Barrel Grinder, either for construction or operation, and a batch of cement and some Medium Stones to make into concrete. Silver Powder is still hideously expensive (at least to buy 200 debens) and someone has slurped up the last mirror so i don't have the option of paying a lot of Goodscript for one. Hopefully the Barrel Grinder will be completed soon. I still have two weeks before my turn in the Obelisk queue comes up.

I made a sledgehammer and attacked one of the Medium Stones. It's just as annoying as i remember it being. I did my experiment between two hills to see if gravity played any role in the process but it doesn't seem to, that is, the ejecta scooted indifferently up and down slopes for the same distance. This is one of those activities which is possible to solo but which goes much quicker with help. I like activities with that quality since i'm not able to play regularly for hours at a time, so group activities are hard to schedule.
==='''Shemu IV-14'''===
Busy, busy, busy.

I haven't found any more frogs, but did find an otter and an ibis, so i got my first strength point. Whee! I celebrated by loading up with silt on my way back to camp from the ibis. This will make a lot of things easier. I'm going to enjoy it, i'm sure.

While out exploring i found a Mixed Nuts mining compound that had degenerated to 0%. I spent the time to repair it but couldn't do anything for the equipment inside; Compression Furnaces seem to be resistant to my Structure Repair 2 skill, and i just built a new Hackling Rake rather than try to repair the one in the compound.

When i got back i pitched in for at Mixed Nuts project to build a Barrel Grinder. The only thing that's left is the 120 bearings, so i'm making half the bronze. So far i've got 99 done, including 2 perfect runs. On the other hand i ran out of Fern Palm resin and had to dash out and get more, but fortunately it's pretty common. I hope to finish the last of the bronze tonight, and then i'll fire up the Master Casting Box and make some bearings.
==='''Shemu IV-16'''===
I finished up my share of the bronze for bearings, using up the last of my copper to do so. I fired up the MCB and started cranking out batches of 10 bearings. While i was doing that other-person-in-the-guild-whose-name-i-am-totally-blanking-on finished up the rest of the bronze (and then some; he was on a roll) and took over the MCB. The barrel grinder is now finished. Now i just need to <del>bully</del> sweet talk a grinding party into existence.

I made a tech run to Saqquarah. I feel somewhat guilty doing so, but it's part of how the game works. I picked up papermaking and gem cutting, so now i have an opportunity to blow more of my resources building things that will be time sinks. Heh. Welcome to Egypt. I also got my pyramid construction skill up to 7, so should a general madness overtake Egypt it would be possible for me to become an Oracle. It's nice to set goals that are beyond one's reach.

As long as i was in the neighborhood i picked up 95 white sand (yay STR 1!). While carting it around (perhaps that was why i never caught the gazelle, see below) it occurred to me that the only sensible place to make Fine Glass products is within short walking distance of a white sand patch, at least until one gets at least STR 3 and could conceivably carry (with peppers) 3000 debens, or enough for one run of the glazier's oven.

I saw a gazelle today. They are cute but annoying. I put a call out on E! but there were no takers, so i chased it around a bit and then went home.

I've changed the format of my semi-blog, as it was getting to be too much of a nuisance to scroll down through the whole thing. I'm lazy. So sue me. :-)

==='''Shemu IV-19'''===
Finally got Cooking 1. I borrowed some carrot seeds from Queen of Denial and grew the veggies. It was nice that, with STR 1 and DEX 3 I could just waltz them over to the school instead of dumping my usual tools first. Stat boosts are fun!
==='''Akhet I-7'''===
It's been awhile. I've got 2 strength points now, which is very nice. I built my first tower and got 4% of Egypt. I've also gotten a macro to work for the first time in 4 Tellings and while it was very convenient and did a much better job than i could (it is a mining macro) i still felt vaguely cheap somehow. Not cheap enough to stop doing it, mind you, just mildly uncomfortable.

I also came face-to-face with a reality that's been percolating in the back of my head for awhile but which came into sharp focus when a guildmate mentioned that he had nineteen cicada cages out and working. There is no way in hell that i would ever spend the time necessary to accomplish this. So, the reality is that Egypt really is not for the casual player. I like to do different things but this means by definition that i will never excel in any of them, because there is someone in the game who is specializing in whatever it is.

What i'm finding is that this leaves me completely unmotivated to participate in the large-scale aspects of the game. As a "good citizen" of Egypt i should spend time judging statues, solving puzzles, and watching events, but the way i figure it the seven (or 12 or 21) people who really care should just get together and pass each other and let the rest of us get on with whatever insignificant piddly tasks amuse us. The material costs for the test buildings are enormous, and the costs for the building to make the materials for the test buildings are pretty large as well. It takes me a long time to put that much effort together. I understand that that's the way the game is designed and that i'm here by choice. Fine. But what i'm finding is that i can amuse myself without paying any attention to what passes for the plot of this Telling.

That's not to say i'm anti-social. If a guildmate asked for help collecting resources or putting things together i'd be there. But doing something For The Good of Egypt? Meh. I'm also not belittling in any way the efforts of the people who chose to put in the time. They're working hard, and they're reaping the rewards. That seems fair enough to me. In many cases (the Veggie Pyramids come to mind) i reap some benefits as well. Do i feel a little guilty? Perhaps. But that's part of the game, too. And i'm showing my approval in the only way that Teppy cares about: i'm paying my subscription fee. So the only two people who really matter are satisfied.
==='''Akhet I-11'''===
My gyration cell is done! I spent an hour and a half finishing up the tin sheets and glass tubes. I threw in 1500 copper ore i'd extracted from my copper mine and then went to one of the Mixed Nuts iron mines. The wiki page said it was level 4 and fixed but it was actually level 8 and fixed. Unfortunately it collapsed after 4 pulls and i felt compelled to fix it, so i did. I then pulled almost 1600 ore out and threw that in the gyration cell. Sweet. :-)
==='''Akhet I-30'''===
I've found a bunch of critters and now have as much strength as i have dexterity (3). Running around in the desert isn't very interesting so i look for bodies of water and do some herb gathering. I've found two more bugs in the process. I really should get a rabbit from someone and pitch it and make a fennec cage to claim the level but just haven't gotten around to it.

I'm coming to the head of the Metallic Obelisk queue in QR. The person two people ahead of me hasn't been logged on in over a week so the person immediately ahead of me has built. When she passes, and if the person ahead of me still hasn't been seen i'll put up my obelisk. If she shows up and is ready to build she'll go next. In either case i should pass my first actual test some time in the next two weeks.

I made a scent lab and started playing with it, only to find out that it will take a lot of research to get anything useful out of it. I managed to drive my first batch of incense to quality zero. My second batch had a high value of over 160 but i dragged it down with further experimenting. It looks like there are 42 different initial tendencies for the incense, one positive and one negative. Each one corresponds to one of the stat skills. Then there is a scent; i've had pine and something else (i've misplaced my notebook). There is some research elsewhere in the wiki but since the effects are both ephemeral and minor it isn't very worthwhile to pursue. I'll do it anyway but it will be slow.
==='''Akhet II-10'''===
My Metallic Obelisk is built and ticking away.

I got another Acrobatic move and am now at dexterity 4. I've found my last frog and an ibis and (whatever else i may have written above) i need one more animal to get to strength 4. I guess i'm going to have to start buckling down and go after my eagles and fennecs.

I participated in a heptathalon, which is a one-RL-hour timed contest in which one picks grass, picks slate, gathers silt, fishes, gathers wood, grows flax, and grows veggies. (Hmm, i thought gathering clay was in there too. I'll have to check when i log in next.) I ended up with 142 points out of a possible 700, but i think the winner only got about 250 so it wasn't that bad. I did mostly slate and grass, with some fish and silt, and a token amount of wood that didn't score me any points but did qualify me as having attempted that contest so i got another steel for my effort.

I finally made myself a hatchet and a shovel out of iron. The former came out ok at 7741. The shovel is a little better at 8145. Now i want to find a dig somewhere to try it out.

==='''Akhet II-15'''===
My obelisk is still chugging along.

I decided that i wanted a brick machine because i thought (mistakenly, as it turns out) that it would allow me to make clay bricks. (Because what i ''really'' want is a charcoal oven, but of course before one can do anything one must do something else first.) It took me all evening, but i reacted the bronze (80) and brass (8) that i'd need, then cast it into 80 bearing along with the 4 small gears and 2 medium gears. For no particular reason i fired up the Master's Forge and made an extrusion plate, and as long as it was hot i made 4 lead chisels. I put the extrusion plate in my improved Student Forge, fired ''it'' up, made the 4 sheets of copper and then spent the rest of the time making copper wire.

Imagine my disappointment when, after putting clay and sand into the contraption, i tried to start making wet clay bricks. That's what i get for not checking more carefully. However all is not lost. I figure i can get one of my neighbors to start the machine for me after i load it up, since they undoubtedly have learned Masonry along the way.

I managed to make some low-grade +end -str incense (that is, when i stuck the sap in it was already above 167 in quality). I also determined that the buff stacks by eating a grilled onion and then sniffing the incense. Lo and behold, my END was 3 instead of 0. It's not all that useful as the effects lasted less than 5 minutes and the stick of incense burned about the same length of time, but what the heck. (Oh, my strength went down by one, but since i am a MIGHTY SAFARIAN it was still 2. :-)

So i'll start accumulating wet clay bricks (i should have 600 over with Sam and Bessie) and then i'll start putting together my first charcoal oven.
==='''Akhet III-25'''===
It's been awhile. Much has happened, yet much is the same. I haven't achieved another level, but i have expanded my compound and built some new buildings. I've also been solving a lot of puzzles. As usual i haven't been able to excel at anything because my interests are too wide, but i'm resigned to not passing the tests. I've made several bug-hunting trips but i clearly don't think like the majority of the cicada crowd because i'm not finding any bugs, let alone the scores of bugs that those who are doing well find. Conversely, the cages i put out only last a couple of days. Perhaps i'm looking where *everyone* is looking.

I was finally on-line at the same time as my uphill neighbor and i was able to hire him to fire 1200 wet clay bricks for me. I can't do them myself since i don't have Masonry. I paid him 12 cuttable stone for firing the 1200 bricks, and we both went home happy. Now i have two charcoal ovens, which should keep me rolling in charcoal for the rest of the Telling. (Lag willing.)

I also made a rabbit hutch (with a clay dome purchased from The Goods: i love those guys) so that i can grow rabbits so that i can hunt eagles so that i can get a few more Strength points and possibly even pass Safari. Eventually. I want to grow a couple thousand carrots before getting any bunnies.

I poked two fires for over 20 minutes and got 61 and 63 ash out of them, only to realize that i had forgotten to put in the limestone. That's the second time i've done that. I may just have to bite the bullet and do a lime-only burn, but i always hate wasting the effort, and growing 200 papyrus is pretty easy. (if time-consuming). I've got a big pile of white sand just waiting to turn into fine glass.

Solving puzzles has caused me serious conflict. On the one hand i'd like to be nice to my fellow Egyptians and help them out. On the other hand, some of the puzzles, especially the Empty Hand puzzles, are completely lame. They show no effort whatsoever beyond acquiring the materials. In the end i can't bring myself to give such puzzles a Good rating, and don't. It is also somewhat ironic that the puzzles that i would like to rate highly are the ones i can't solve. Perhaps there should be a way to figure in "hours spent fiddling with it" to the score.
===Year 2, Shemu IV-15===
It's been awhile. A few notes of things i want to remember:
*I passed my 4th Cicada level with 53777 points 42 days ago. I think i have enough points to pass another level.
*I made two large gears and got another level of Structure Maintenance, for whatever that's worth. (now at 3)
*I'm planning to get another level of Structure Repair. Flint is cheap and i can grow papyrus. The paper will take a long time.
*I passed Darkest Night by eating 7 shrooms. I'm now a middling Level 18.
===Year 2, Shemu IV-24===
Whatddaya know, i'm in the Demi-Pharoah finals. For anyone who's come here for info on me, here's a brief sketch.
*I would class myself as a "casual" player, 3 or four times a week for a few hours. If you're looking for a hands-on, finger-in-every-pie sort of DP you can stop reading here.
*Partly as a result of this i have a pretty hands-off attitude toward most things. As a first, and very general, cut at evaluating a situation, if the mechanics of the game allow it then it's "legal".
*That's not to say that everything is "nice". People can be jerks, and groups of people can be collective jerks. Such is human nature.
*To my way of thinking the only thing that i as a player really have permanently in the game is my reputation. Yes, the game mechanics may allow me to do something but if i choose to take that action i must also be prepared to accept whatever the consequences may be.
*This is muddled by the fact that different people are playing the game with different goals. One man's griefing is another man's cleverness. I have no stock answer for this other than, "I know it when i see it".
*I view the Ban as a measure of last resort which is not particularly suited to the tasks assigned to it. If a player is determined to cause grief, banning an individual character won't solve the problem. If there has been a tragic misunderstanding between two parties, slaying someone won't make things better. It is a conundrum.
===Year 3, Akhet I-4===
I'm stuck on a venary. I can't find Mt. Papy. I've been directed to two different places in Adn. Neither seem to fulfill the venary clues.
===Year 3, Peret III-28===
Not dead yet. Not very alive either.

==My Petition==
Petition by Aku

Aku for Queen's Retreat Regional Garbage Collector

Oh, People of Queen's Retreat, hear the plea of Aku, a humble handmaiden of the region. Our public areas become blighted with abandoned flimsy brick racks, wood planes, and small distaffs. The people become discontent yet all efforts to legislate a solution fall short in some way, and the blight remains.

I petition to be granted the awesome power to salvage any of the three above items in Queen's Retreat which are not within a compound. I realize that this is a great power, and i understand the reluctance anyone might feel in granting it, unchecked, to a single individual. I pledge to use discretion and judgement, and that i am a thoughtful and civic-minded person with no intention of causing harm or unhappiness.

I believe this would do good for the region, clearing places for newcomers to experience Egypt in its beauty. I also believe that nothing short of this will alleviate the problem.

And since this isn't outrageous enough, i request that only the votes of citizens whose primary guild is in Queen's Retreat be counted.

Submitted for your consideration by Aku.

==Inclinations==
I don't have the time to spend grinding my way to the top, so i end up soloing a lot. I'm making an effort to be more social this time around. I like mentoring so if you want advice feel free to chat me and i'll see what i can do. If i don't answer right away i may be making glass or charcoal.

==History==
I played all of T1, sporadically in T2 and T3. I'm hoping to make it all the way through this one.

Aku: /* Year 2, Shemu IV-24 */

==Home==
My home is in Queen's Refuge at 499, -6205. I've joined Mixed Nuts, the Queen's Refuge public works guild so it looks like i'll be hanging around for the time being. Much of the equipment in my compound is public.
*Public equipment
**2 Student Forges with Nail Molds, one has pinch rollers and an extrusion plate.
**1 Master Forge, unimproved
**10 True Kilns
**2 Charcoal Hearths
**15 Improved Brick Racks
**1 Basic Carpenter's Bench (no upgrades)
**1 Student's Casting Box
**1 Anvil (bring your own hammers)
**1 Compression Furnaces
**1 Gyration Cell
**1 Water Mine
**1 Reactory, unimproved
**2 paper presses and 6 drying hammocks (bring your own linen)

I reserve the right to turn any of these back to "Private Use" if i'm in the middle of a project. There is a box next to the charcoal hearths for any donations that anyone would like to make. I'll gratefully accept anything (except mud and sand :-) but don't feel obligated; I'm a big believer in "paying forward".

==Status==
Level 18
*STR 4, DEX 5, SPD 7, PER 1 everything else 0.
*Initiate of Leadership
**Demi-Pharoah - passed the principle.
**Mentoring - i've got the buildings but haven't seen many new folks, so i haven't been spending much time on Welcome Island, so i haven't seen many new folks...
*Initiate of Body
**Acrobat - (passed Principle) have AI, BJ, CS, CPU, IP, JS, KU, RP, SB, SF, SQ, TT, and WS, have taught 52.
**Cicadas - Passed
**Safari - Got 3 frogs, 3 otters, 2 gazelles an ibis, 3 rat, and a fennec. Need to drop a rabbit to pass Principle.
*Initiate of Architecture
**Obelisk - Passed.
*Initiate of Harmony
**Test of the Prophet (principle)
*Initiate of Art & Science - built statue at my compound which only has 13 votes, and finally got impatient and built, opened, and tore down a second sculpture to pass the principle.
*Initiate of Thought
**Pathmaker (Principle)
*Worship -
**Principle of Marriage

Rhythmic Strength
*L3 - in 100 picks i got 1 about 7 times, otherwise got 2.
*L4 - in 100 picks i got 3 about 10 times, otherwise got 2.
*L5 - in 100 picks i got 3 almost half the time, otherwise got 2
*L6 - in 100 picks i got 3 80 times and 2 20 times
*L7 - in 100 picks i got 3 83 times and 4 17 times

==Current Projects==
Having the attention span of a mayfly has its disadvantages, but a short "to do" list is not one of them.

===Blacksmithing===
I am currently questing after the 8K shovel and hatchet. I can pretty reliably make a 7.5K one of each (and if anyone wants one send me a tell in-game and we can haggle about price) but once i get there the screwing around i do just makes it worse. Of course i've only been practicing for a day so i am quite hopeful.

Then, of course, i'll start questing for 9K...

Resin wedges, on the other hand, are weird, or at least different enough from the other two that my threashholds seem to be 1K lower.

===Mentoring===
I've been back to Welcome Island several times. I've even helped some people. :-) One or two pledged me a Mentor point but so far no one has actually registered any. Oh, well. It's disappointing but that isn't really why i like Mentoring.

===General Metalworking===
I'm slowly building up the stock to build a blast furnace and reactory of my own. To that end i've been trading with The Goods, a fine institution that i can't recommend highly enough. (Though the new "donation phase" thing is a bit off-putting; i don't see anyone who's not a member of The Goods donating a large gear for free, but perhaps i'm being uncharitable.) I've gotten the concrete and topaz, and will be trading for some tin to try to make steel in the Guild reactory so that i can make the sheeting.

I've become familiar with the reactory and have gotten 100% on steel, brass, bronze, and Moon Steel. It takes me about 6 tries to get a useable amount of metal.

===Skills I am sorta working on===
*Salvage Techniques 4 - my water mine is slowly generating cuttables.

===Social Things===
I'm trying to pay attention to things like digs, acro, and other activties that can only be done with crowds. I'm not entirely succeeding...

==Water Mine Data==
22 degrees, one full winding, 3 Amethysts, 2 Citrine, 1 Jade, 1 Sunstone, 1 Turquoise, 1 Small Quartz, 1 Medium Quartz, 1 Medium Ruby

Since then i've had better luck at 20 or 21 degrees.

==My Semi-Blog==
I'll put my observations here when i am moved to record them, which won't be regularly.

==='''Year 1, Shemu II-24'''===
I've made a lot of progress on my gyration cell. The Moon Steel turned out to be less troublesome than i had planned for, and in fact i've got all 50 smelted. I should be able to get the cement i'll need from The Goods if i can't find it locally. The gravel will be a nuisance as i've run out of Medium Stones. Mostly what's left is mining a huge pile of copper and tin to make the sheeting and then making the sheeting. I may have to put pinch rollers in my second Student Forge to speed up the process.
==='''Year 1 Shemu II-28'''===
I got my second Navigation point for 20 glass rods. I'll set it at the mining compound which i will build next to the guild one. Then i can start mining copper in earnest. I've found an existing gyration cell that i can borrow which will speed things up immensely.
==='''Year 1 Shemu III-10'''===
I finished mining and smelting the copper i neeed for the sheets. Now i just have to forge them. I may have to invest in two more pinch rollers to upgrade another student forge for sheets but that means more mining.

I spent a couple of hours on Welcome Island. Hardly anyone responded to my offer of help though i did have a lively exchange with one fellow who should do fine and a rather odd exchange with another, the second person being unable to understand that i was an experienced player who was chosing to help out newcomers. ("Why r u here?") Overall it was satisfying, but i'm not pushy enough to translate any of it into Mentor points. There is a fuzzy line between helping out a newcomer and being bossy. I err firmly on the offer-only-when-asked side. I'm also "only" on for an hour or two a day at most, so i'm not an ideal candidate for a Mentor. So it goes.

Level 12 continues to elude me. I'll have to investigate Towers again, and start putting myself forward for the Worship init. Acrobatics is progressing slowly but surely and will continue that way since i don't have the fortitude to hang around for one of the massive Acro lines. I like the "acro blobs" better, and they happen periodically around the QR chariot stop, which i can see from my compound.
==='''Year 1 Shemu III-14'''===
I had a run-in with server lag. I was tending my firepit when everything froze for several seconds. When it unlocked i poked the fire but it was too late and the fire went out. It had been burning less than five minutes so in spite of having a full load of papyrus, flax, and leeks i got 12 ash. I was moderately bummed out.

To console myself i set up for a second firepit run, growing 300 flax with some 2/2/2 seeds (which have already been surpassed) and making a papyrus run. During the run i bumped into my friend SamAdams, who helped gather my papyrus, so i stayed around and helped him gather his. He then let me into a small guild he's in which was great because they have a bunch of the cool buildings (including the gyration cell i've been borrowing). I immediately made 600 charcoal in their charcoal oven, in spite of the continued lag. (I did have to abandon my efforts to run the charcoal hearth at the same time.)

This failure to advance in levels is getting to be a problem. I was reviewing my progress on my personal gyration cell and realized that i can't even build it myself until i hit Level 13 because i need Metallurgy III. I think i'm going to have to stifle my urge to own the high-tech production buildings and spend some time leveling. With that in mind i put my name on the Metallic Obelisk queue at size 22. I've got two weeks to come up with the materials. The only one that looks hard is the mirror (assuming size 22 still needs only one; i haven't checked the exact requirements yet). The rest i can either make myself or purchase at The Goods without too much trouble. I wonder if i can get my Sheet Glass skill to 7 in two weeks?
==='''Year 1 Shemu III-16'''===
Yesterday was a good day.

I made excellent progress in collecting materials for my hypothetical Metallic Obelisk. I loaded up my Normal Glass furnace with a full 50 units of melted glass and started making glass sheets. It certainly started out grimly. I cracked the first seven sheets i attempted, though in the process i rose to skill 4. Then i succeeded once, and cracked another. By the time i had made 30 attempts i had 18 sheets of glass, having cracked 11 and lost one to over-fueling my bench. I was quite pleased. I hadn't known how many sheets i would have to crack for each skill level, but i hadn't expected to get to skill 6 in one session. I imagine that last level will be quite tedious to achieve, but it looks like it's doable in my time frame.

On the subject of the glazier's bench i have discovered, or reasoned out, a small refinement to the published technique. I have noticed that the later in the ten-tick heating cycle one adds additional fuel the smaller the spike. By watching the item timer tick down (especially easy with sheet glass) i am able to add 2 charcoal during the tenth tick, just before the temperature drops. This results in a spike of about 150 degrees in addition to the normal heat increase. This means that i can run the bench constantly without periodically stopping production to spike and cool it. (My bench is +56, -135.)

I traded the glass sheets with The Goods for strontium, platinum, and iron and still had a good deal of credit left over. If worse comes to worst i should be able to buy one of the mirrors.

I checked the material requirements for a 22-cubit Metallic Obelisk and it does in fact need 2 mirrors which is unfortunate but not unexpected. The materials i don't have are easy for me to produce myself so assuming i can take care of the mirrors and that no queue war erupts i'm in good shape for the Obelisk Test.
==='''Year 1 Shemu III-21'''===
Yay! One of my Prophecies came true. I am now Level 12. I signed up for Safari.

In other news i did another run of 30 attempted glass sheets. I cracked 4, fried one, and ended up with 25. Sadly my skill is still 6/7, but hopefully i'm that much closer to mirrors. I ran the firepit and poked it for a half-hour, only to discover that i had forgotten to put in the limestone. So i got 70 ash, which was nice, but no lime at all which is unfortunate because i actually have plenty of ash and needed the lime. Sigh.
==='''Year 1 Shemu III-22'''===
You can't do anything without doing something else first.

I planned to do some frog/rat/otter hunting today but first had promised to make some carpentry blades for the Queen of Denial guild. I loaded up the anvil and proceeded, using the excellent guides that have been published elsewhere (see the [[Blacksmithing_Guide |Blacksmithing Guide]] and check the references at the bottom of that page.) The "eight hits across the front" with the force 8 Shaping Mallet take some practice, as there are more than 8 nodes across the front edge, but it turns out to only matter a little. I've also added a refinement where i use the Shaping Mallet at force 5 to depress the area behind the edge around the V-shaped notch in the back before starting in on the directions in the guide. The results after following the guide are worse than just doing the guide, but i've been able to clean it up to 7.5K with about fifty more hits, where i could never clean up the guide blade to more than about 7.2K. I ended up with five in the 7.2K range and one 7.5K blade (the last one.)

Running back from QoD to my compound i found a flock of sheep, and being perennially short of leather i grabbed one. I then went in search of a public sheep pen and failed to find one. So i built one to the west of the School of Architecture near the road. I had to dry some rotten flax, and since i was carrying a sheep i couldn't carry more than 200 bricks so i had to make 7 trips back and forth to my compound but it was close enough that it was only annoying. Then i made the pen public, slaughtered my sheep and stored the products.

Time to head out. But on my way to the chariot stop someone announced that they needed witnesses for their wedding. I'm a sucker for that kind of thing besides considering it an obligation of sorts since my compound is in sight of the altar (that is, when people gather at that altar for a wedding i can see the names when i'm standing in my compound.) On the way to the wedding i noticed an intriguing Pathfinder which i poked at while waiting for the crowd to assemble. Someone brought a hookah to the wedding and i got my first point (rhubarb). Then we had the wedding, which took four tries.

Then i got booted from the computer so that my kid could do homework. Ah well, there's always later.
==='''Shemu III-27'''===
I've been in the desert for a couple of days now hunting various critters. I'm going to be a little vague in the descriptions since i don't want to give away any locations. Anyway, i've not seen any rats or otters but did come across an interesting situation with regard to cicadas. I found a spot that had multiple cages and after picking bugs from all of them i decided to try to break the cluster up a little. My first attempt moved all the cages instead of just one and to my surprise there were now more cages visible. It appears that it is possible for cages to be exactly on top of each other, something i hadn't known.

Yikes! Someone dropped out of the Metallic Obelisk queue, so i have four days less than i had planned to come up with two mirrors. I think i'm going to have to cut my rat-hunting expedition short.

==='''Shemu IV-2'''===
I'm still hunting in the desert. I haven't found any rats or otters but did locate a couple of frogs. They seem pretty straightforward and should be my ticket to a strength point.
==='''Shemu IV-7'''===
I'm back from my desert roaming. I found a lot of bugs so that part went well. On the other hand i didn't see any rats or otters. I refurbished a couple of my remote outposts but wasn't able to do anything with the one in the NE corner of the map due to an unremembered complete lack of grass in the area. I'll have to bring some supplies the next time i head that way.

My Sheet Glass skill is now at 7, which happened on the third sheet of my glass run. I had burned and boiled enough supplies to stock the glazier's bench up to 50 glass, so hitting my goal on the third try was somewhat anti-climactic. Still, i can't really complain (or can i? :-).

I let everything cool and pulled the two intact sheets, then headed for The Goods. I got some leather to contribute toward a guild Barrel Grinder, either for construction or operation, and a batch of cement and some Medium Stones to make into concrete. Silver Powder is still hideously expensive (at least to buy 200 debens) and someone has slurped up the last mirror so i don't have the option of paying a lot of Goodscript for one. Hopefully the Barrel Grinder will be completed soon. I still have two weeks before my turn in the Obelisk queue comes up.

I made a sledgehammer and attacked one of the Medium Stones. It's just as annoying as i remember it being. I did my experiment between two hills to see if gravity played any role in the process but it doesn't seem to, that is, the ejecta scooted indifferently up and down slopes for the same distance. This is one of those activities which is possible to solo but which goes much quicker with help. I like activities with that quality since i'm not able to play regularly for hours at a time, so group activities are hard to schedule.
==='''Shemu IV-14'''===
Busy, busy, busy.

I haven't found any more frogs, but did find an otter and an ibis, so i got my first strength point. Whee! I celebrated by loading up with silt on my way back to camp from the ibis. This will make a lot of things easier. I'm going to enjoy it, i'm sure.

While out exploring i found a Mixed Nuts mining compound that had degenerated to 0%. I spent the time to repair it but couldn't do anything for the equipment inside; Compression Furnaces seem to be resistant to my Structure Repair 2 skill, and i just built a new Hackling Rake rather than try to repair the one in the compound.

When i got back i pitched in for at Mixed Nuts project to build a Barrel Grinder. The only thing that's left is the 120 bearings, so i'm making half the bronze. So far i've got 99 done, including 2 perfect runs. On the other hand i ran out of Fern Palm resin and had to dash out and get more, but fortunately it's pretty common. I hope to finish the last of the bronze tonight, and then i'll fire up the Master Casting Box and make some bearings.
==='''Shemu IV-16'''===
I finished up my share of the bronze for bearings, using up the last of my copper to do so. I fired up the MCB and started cranking out batches of 10 bearings. While i was doing that other-person-in-the-guild-whose-name-i-am-totally-blanking-on finished up the rest of the bronze (and then some; he was on a roll) and took over the MCB. The barrel grinder is now finished. Now i just need to <del>bully</del> sweet talk a grinding party into existence.

I made a tech run to Saqquarah. I feel somewhat guilty doing so, but it's part of how the game works. I picked up papermaking and gem cutting, so now i have an opportunity to blow more of my resources building things that will be time sinks. Heh. Welcome to Egypt. I also got my pyramid construction skill up to 7, so should a general madness overtake Egypt it would be possible for me to become an Oracle. It's nice to set goals that are beyond one's reach.

As long as i was in the neighborhood i picked up 95 white sand (yay STR 1!). While carting it around (perhaps that was why i never caught the gazelle, see below) it occurred to me that the only sensible place to make Fine Glass products is within short walking distance of a white sand patch, at least until one gets at least STR 3 and could conceivably carry (with peppers) 3000 debens, or enough for one run of the glazier's oven.

I saw a gazelle today. They are cute but annoying. I put a call out on E! but there were no takers, so i chased it around a bit and then went home.

I've changed the format of my semi-blog, as it was getting to be too much of a nuisance to scroll down through the whole thing. I'm lazy. So sue me. :-)

==='''Shemu IV-19'''===
Finally got Cooking 1. I borrowed some carrot seeds from Queen of Denial and grew the veggies. It was nice that, with STR 1 and DEX 3 I could just waltz them over to the school instead of dumping my usual tools first. Stat boosts are fun!
==='''Akhet I-7'''===
It's been awhile. I've got 2 strength points now, which is very nice. I built my first tower and got 4% of Egypt. I've also gotten a macro to work for the first time in 4 Tellings and while it was very convenient and did a much better job than i could (it is a mining macro) i still felt vaguely cheap somehow. Not cheap enough to stop doing it, mind you, just mildly uncomfortable.

I also came face-to-face with a reality that's been percolating in the back of my head for awhile but which came into sharp focus when a guildmate mentioned that he had nineteen cicada cages out and working. There is no way in hell that i would ever spend the time necessary to accomplish this. So, the reality is that Egypt really is not for the casual player. I like to do different things but this means by definition that i will never excel in any of them, because there is someone in the game who is specializing in whatever it is.

What i'm finding is that this leaves me completely unmotivated to participate in the large-scale aspects of the game. As a "good citizen" of Egypt i should spend time judging statues, solving puzzles, and watching events, but the way i figure it the seven (or 12 or 21) people who really care should just get together and pass each other and let the rest of us get on with whatever insignificant piddly tasks amuse us. The material costs for the test buildings are enormous, and the costs for the building to make the materials for the test buildings are pretty large as well. It takes me a long time to put that much effort together. I understand that that's the way the game is designed and that i'm here by choice. Fine. But what i'm finding is that i can amuse myself without paying any attention to what passes for the plot of this Telling.

That's not to say i'm anti-social. If a guildmate asked for help collecting resources or putting things together i'd be there. But doing something For The Good of Egypt? Meh. I'm also not belittling in any way the efforts of the people who chose to put in the time. They're working hard, and they're reaping the rewards. That seems fair enough to me. In many cases (the Veggie Pyramids come to mind) i reap some benefits as well. Do i feel a little guilty? Perhaps. But that's part of the game, too. And i'm showing my approval in the only way that Teppy cares about: i'm paying my subscription fee. So the only two people who really matter are satisfied.
==='''Akhet I-11'''===
My gyration cell is done! I spent an hour and a half finishing up the tin sheets and glass tubes. I threw in 1500 copper ore i'd extracted from my copper mine and then went to one of the Mixed Nuts iron mines. The wiki page said it was level 4 and fixed but it was actually level 8 and fixed. Unfortunately it collapsed after 4 pulls and i felt compelled to fix it, so i did. I then pulled almost 1600 ore out and threw that in the gyration cell. Sweet. :-)
==='''Akhet I-30'''===
I've found a bunch of critters and now have as much strength as i have dexterity (3). Running around in the desert isn't very interesting so i look for bodies of water and do some herb gathering. I've found two more bugs in the process. I really should get a rabbit from someone and pitch it and make a fennec cage to claim the level but just haven't gotten around to it.

I'm coming to the head of the Metallic Obelisk queue in QR. The person two people ahead of me hasn't been logged on in over a week so the person immediately ahead of me has built. When she passes, and if the person ahead of me still hasn't been seen i'll put up my obelisk. If she shows up and is ready to build she'll go next. In either case i should pass my first actual test some time in the next two weeks.

I made a scent lab and started playing with it, only to find out that it will take a lot of research to get anything useful out of it. I managed to drive my first batch of incense to quality zero. My second batch had a high value of over 160 but i dragged it down with further experimenting. It looks like there are 42 different initial tendencies for the incense, one positive and one negative. Each one corresponds to one of the stat skills. Then there is a scent; i've had pine and something else (i've misplaced my notebook). There is some research elsewhere in the wiki but since the effects are both ephemeral and minor it isn't very worthwhile to pursue. I'll do it anyway but it will be slow.
==='''Akhet II-10'''===
My Metallic Obelisk is built and ticking away.

I got another Acrobatic move and am now at dexterity 4. I've found my last frog and an ibis and (whatever else i may have written above) i need one more animal to get to strength 4. I guess i'm going to have to start buckling down and go after my eagles and fennecs.

I participated in a heptathalon, which is a one-RL-hour timed contest in which one picks grass, picks slate, gathers silt, fishes, gathers wood, grows flax, and grows veggies. (Hmm, i thought gathering clay was in there too. I'll have to check when i log in next.) I ended up with 142 points out of a possible 700, but i think the winner only got about 250 so it wasn't that bad. I did mostly slate and grass, with some fish and silt, and a token amount of wood that didn't score me any points but did qualify me as having attempted that contest so i got another steel for my effort.

I finally made myself a hatchet and a shovel out of iron. The former came out ok at 7741. The shovel is a little better at 8145. Now i want to find a dig somewhere to try it out.

==='''Akhet II-15'''===
My obelisk is still chugging along.

I decided that i wanted a brick machine because i thought (mistakenly, as it turns out) that it would allow me to make clay bricks. (Because what i ''really'' want is a charcoal oven, but of course before one can do anything one must do something else first.) It took me all evening, but i reacted the bronze (80) and brass (8) that i'd need, then cast it into 80 bearing along with the 4 small gears and 2 medium gears. For no particular reason i fired up the Master's Forge and made an extrusion plate, and as long as it was hot i made 4 lead chisels. I put the extrusion plate in my improved Student Forge, fired ''it'' up, made the 4 sheets of copper and then spent the rest of the time making copper wire.

Imagine my disappointment when, after putting clay and sand into the contraption, i tried to start making wet clay bricks. That's what i get for not checking more carefully. However all is not lost. I figure i can get one of my neighbors to start the machine for me after i load it up, since they undoubtedly have learned Masonry along the way.

I managed to make some low-grade +end -str incense (that is, when i stuck the sap in it was already above 167 in quality). I also determined that the buff stacks by eating a grilled onion and then sniffing the incense. Lo and behold, my END was 3 instead of 0. It's not all that useful as the effects lasted less than 5 minutes and the stick of incense burned about the same length of time, but what the heck. (Oh, my strength went down by one, but since i am a MIGHTY SAFARIAN it was still 2. :-)

So i'll start accumulating wet clay bricks (i should have 600 over with Sam and Bessie) and then i'll start putting together my first charcoal oven.
==='''Akhet III-25'''===
It's been awhile. Much has happened, yet much is the same. I haven't achieved another level, but i have expanded my compound and built some new buildings. I've also been solving a lot of puzzles. As usual i haven't been able to excel at anything because my interests are too wide, but i'm resigned to not passing the tests. I've made several bug-hunting trips but i clearly don't think like the majority of the cicada crowd because i'm not finding any bugs, let alone the scores of bugs that those who are doing well find. Conversely, the cages i put out only last a couple of days. Perhaps i'm looking where *everyone* is looking.

I was finally on-line at the same time as my uphill neighbor and i was able to hire him to fire 1200 wet clay bricks for me. I can't do them myself since i don't have Masonry. I paid him 12 cuttable stone for firing the 1200 bricks, and we both went home happy. Now i have two charcoal ovens, which should keep me rolling in charcoal for the rest of the Telling. (Lag willing.)

I also made a rabbit hutch (with a clay dome purchased from The Goods: i love those guys) so that i can grow rabbits so that i can hunt eagles so that i can get a few more Strength points and possibly even pass Safari. Eventually. I want to grow a couple thousand carrots before getting any bunnies.

I poked two fires for over 20 minutes and got 61 and 63 ash out of them, only to realize that i had forgotten to put in the limestone. That's the second time i've done that. I may just have to bite the bullet and do a lime-only burn, but i always hate wasting the effort, and growing 200 papyrus is pretty easy. (if time-consuming). I've got a big pile of white sand just waiting to turn into fine glass.

Solving puzzles has caused me serious conflict. On the one hand i'd like to be nice to my fellow Egyptians and help them out. On the other hand, some of the puzzles, especially the Empty Hand puzzles, are completely lame. They show no effort whatsoever beyond acquiring the materials. In the end i can't bring myself to give such puzzles a Good rating, and don't. It is also somewhat ironic that the puzzles that i would like to rate highly are the ones i can't solve. Perhaps there should be a way to figure in "hours spent fiddling with it" to the score.
===Year 2, Shemu IV-15===
It's been awhile. A few notes of things i want to remember:
*I passed my 4th Cicada level with 53777 points 42 days ago. I think i have enough points to pass another level.
*I made two large gears and got another level of Structure Maintenance, for whatever that's worth. (now at 3)
*I'm planning to get another level of Structure Repair. Flint is cheap and i can grow papyrus. The paper will take a long time.
*I passed Darkest Night by eating 7 shrooms. I'm now a middling Level 18.
===Year 2, Shemu IV-24===
Whatddaya know, i'm in the Demi-Pharoah finals. For anyone who's come here for info on me, here's a brief sketch.
*I would class myself as a "casual" player, 3 or four times a week for a few hours. If you're looking for a hands-on, finger-in-every-pie sort of DP you can stop reading here.
*Partly as a result of this i have a pretty hands-off attitude toward most things. As a first, and very general, cut at evaluating a situation, if the mechanics of the game allow it then it's "legal".
*That's not to say that everything is "nice". People can be jerks, and groups of people can be collective jerks. Such is human nature.
*To my way of thinking the only thing that i as a player really have permanently in the game is my reputation. Yes, the game mechanics may allow me to do something but if i choose to take that action i must also be prepared to accept whatever the consequences may be.
*This is muddled by the fact that different people are playing the game with different goals. One man's griefing is another man's cleverness. I have no stock answer for this other than, "I know it when i see it".
*I view the Ban as a measure of last resort which is not particularly suited to the tasks assigned to it. If a player is determined to cause grief, banning an individual character won't solve the problem. If there has been a tragic misunderstanding between two parties, slaying someone won't make things better. It is a conundrum.
===Year 3, Akhet I-4===
I'm stuck on a venary. I can't find Mt. Papy. I've been directed to two different places in Adn. Neither seem to fulfill the venary clues.

==My Petition==
Petition by Aku

Aku for Queen's Retreat Regional Garbage Collector

Oh, People of Queen's Retreat, hear the plea of Aku, a humble handmaiden of the region. Our public areas become blighted with abandoned flimsy brick racks, wood planes, and small distaffs. The people become discontent yet all efforts to legislate a solution fall short in some way, and the blight remains.

I petition to be granted the awesome power to salvage any of the three above items in Queen's Retreat which are not within a compound. I realize that this is a great power, and i understand the reluctance anyone might feel in granting it, unchecked, to a single individual. I pledge to use discretion and judgement, and that i am a thoughtful and civic-minded person with no intention of causing harm or unhappiness.

I believe this would do good for the region, clearing places for newcomers to experience Egypt in its beauty. I also believe that nothing short of this will alleviate the problem.

And since this isn't outrageous enough, i request that only the votes of citizens whose primary guild is in Queen's Retreat be counted.

Submitted for your consideration by Aku.

==Inclinations==
I don't have the time to spend grinding my way to the top, so i end up soloing a lot. I'm making an effort to be more social this time around. I like mentoring so if you want advice feel free to chat me and i'll see what i can do. If i don't answer right away i may be making glass or charcoal.

==History==
I played all of T1, sporadically in T2 and T3. I'm hoping to make it all the way through this one.

Aku: /* Home */

==Home==
My home is in Queen's Refuge at 499, -6205. I've joined Mixed Nuts, the Queen's Refuge public works guild so it looks like i'll be hanging around for the time being. Much of the equipment in my compound is public.
*Public equipment
**2 Student Forges with Nail Molds, one has pinch rollers and an extrusion plate.
**1 Master Forge, unimproved
**10 True Kilns
**2 Charcoal Hearths
**15 Improved Brick Racks
**1 Basic Carpenter's Bench (no upgrades)
**1 Student's Casting Box
**1 Anvil (bring your own hammers)
**1 Compression Furnaces
**1 Gyration Cell
**1 Water Mine
**1 Reactory, unimproved
**2 paper presses and 6 drying hammocks (bring your own linen)

I reserve the right to turn any of these back to "Private Use" if i'm in the middle of a project. There is a box next to the charcoal hearths for any donations that anyone would like to make. I'll gratefully accept anything (except mud and sand :-) but don't feel obligated; I'm a big believer in "paying forward".

==Status==
Level 18
*STR 4, DEX 5, SPD 7, PER 1 everything else 0.
*Initiate of Leadership
**Demi-Pharoah - passed the principle.
**Mentoring - i've got the buildings but haven't seen many new folks, so i haven't been spending much time on Welcome Island, so i haven't seen many new folks...
*Initiate of Body
**Acrobat - (passed Principle) have AI, BJ, CS, CPU, IP, JS, KU, RP, SB, SF, SQ, TT, and WS, have taught 52.
**Cicadas - Passed
**Safari - Got 3 frogs, 3 otters, 2 gazelles an ibis, 3 rat, and a fennec. Need to drop a rabbit to pass Principle.
*Initiate of Architecture
**Obelisk - Passed.
*Initiate of Harmony
**Test of the Prophet (principle)
*Initiate of Art & Science - built statue at my compound which only has 13 votes, and finally got impatient and built, opened, and tore down a second sculpture to pass the principle.
*Initiate of Thought
**Pathmaker (Principle)
*Worship -
**Principle of Marriage

Rhythmic Strength
*L3 - in 100 picks i got 1 about 7 times, otherwise got 2.
*L4 - in 100 picks i got 3 about 10 times, otherwise got 2.
*L5 - in 100 picks i got 3 almost half the time, otherwise got 2
*L6 - in 100 picks i got 3 80 times and 2 20 times
*L7 - in 100 picks i got 3 83 times and 4 17 times

==Current Projects==
Having the attention span of a mayfly has its disadvantages, but a short "to do" list is not one of them.

===Blacksmithing===
I am currently questing after the 8K shovel and hatchet. I can pretty reliably make a 7.5K one of each (and if anyone wants one send me a tell in-game and we can haggle about price) but once i get there the screwing around i do just makes it worse. Of course i've only been practicing for a day so i am quite hopeful.

Then, of course, i'll start questing for 9K...

Resin wedges, on the other hand, are weird, or at least different enough from the other two that my threashholds seem to be 1K lower.

===Mentoring===
I've been back to Welcome Island several times. I've even helped some people. :-) One or two pledged me a Mentor point but so far no one has actually registered any. Oh, well. It's disappointing but that isn't really why i like Mentoring.

===General Metalworking===
I'm slowly building up the stock to build a blast furnace and reactory of my own. To that end i've been trading with The Goods, a fine institution that i can't recommend highly enough. (Though the new "donation phase" thing is a bit off-putting; i don't see anyone who's not a member of The Goods donating a large gear for free, but perhaps i'm being uncharitable.) I've gotten the concrete and topaz, and will be trading for some tin to try to make steel in the Guild reactory so that i can make the sheeting.

I've become familiar with the reactory and have gotten 100% on steel, brass, bronze, and Moon Steel. It takes me about 6 tries to get a useable amount of metal.

===Skills I am sorta working on===
*Salvage Techniques 4 - my water mine is slowly generating cuttables.

===Social Things===
I'm trying to pay attention to things like digs, acro, and other activties that can only be done with crowds. I'm not entirely succeeding...

==Water Mine Data==
22 degrees, one full winding, 3 Amethysts, 2 Citrine, 1 Jade, 1 Sunstone, 1 Turquoise, 1 Small Quartz, 1 Medium Quartz, 1 Medium Ruby

Since then i've had better luck at 20 or 21 degrees.

==My Semi-Blog==
I'll put my observations here when i am moved to record them, which won't be regularly.

==='''Year 1, Shemu II-24'''===
I've made a lot of progress on my gyration cell. The Moon Steel turned out to be less troublesome than i had planned for, and in fact i've got all 50 smelted. I should be able to get the cement i'll need from The Goods if i can't find it locally. The gravel will be a nuisance as i've run out of Medium Stones. Mostly what's left is mining a huge pile of copper and tin to make the sheeting and then making the sheeting. I may have to put pinch rollers in my second Student Forge to speed up the process.
==='''Year 1 Shemu II-28'''===
I got my second Navigation point for 20 glass rods. I'll set it at the mining compound which i will build next to the guild one. Then i can start mining copper in earnest. I've found an existing gyration cell that i can borrow which will speed things up immensely.
==='''Year 1 Shemu III-10'''===
I finished mining and smelting the copper i neeed for the sheets. Now i just have to forge them. I may have to invest in two more pinch rollers to upgrade another student forge for sheets but that means more mining.

I spent a couple of hours on Welcome Island. Hardly anyone responded to my offer of help though i did have a lively exchange with one fellow who should do fine and a rather odd exchange with another, the second person being unable to understand that i was an experienced player who was chosing to help out newcomers. ("Why r u here?") Overall it was satisfying, but i'm not pushy enough to translate any of it into Mentor points. There is a fuzzy line between helping out a newcomer and being bossy. I err firmly on the offer-only-when-asked side. I'm also "only" on for an hour or two a day at most, so i'm not an ideal candidate for a Mentor. So it goes.

Level 12 continues to elude me. I'll have to investigate Towers again, and start putting myself forward for the Worship init. Acrobatics is progressing slowly but surely and will continue that way since i don't have the fortitude to hang around for one of the massive Acro lines. I like the "acro blobs" better, and they happen periodically around the QR chariot stop, which i can see from my compound.
==='''Year 1 Shemu III-14'''===
I had a run-in with server lag. I was tending my firepit when everything froze for several seconds. When it unlocked i poked the fire but it was too late and the fire went out. It had been burning less than five minutes so in spite of having a full load of papyrus, flax, and leeks i got 12 ash. I was moderately bummed out.

To console myself i set up for a second firepit run, growing 300 flax with some 2/2/2 seeds (which have already been surpassed) and making a papyrus run. During the run i bumped into my friend SamAdams, who helped gather my papyrus, so i stayed around and helped him gather his. He then let me into a small guild he's in which was great because they have a bunch of the cool buildings (including the gyration cell i've been borrowing). I immediately made 600 charcoal in their charcoal oven, in spite of the continued lag. (I did have to abandon my efforts to run the charcoal hearth at the same time.)

This failure to advance in levels is getting to be a problem. I was reviewing my progress on my personal gyration cell and realized that i can't even build it myself until i hit Level 13 because i need Metallurgy III. I think i'm going to have to stifle my urge to own the high-tech production buildings and spend some time leveling. With that in mind i put my name on the Metallic Obelisk queue at size 22. I've got two weeks to come up with the materials. The only one that looks hard is the mirror (assuming size 22 still needs only one; i haven't checked the exact requirements yet). The rest i can either make myself or purchase at The Goods without too much trouble. I wonder if i can get my Sheet Glass skill to 7 in two weeks?
==='''Year 1 Shemu III-16'''===
Yesterday was a good day.

I made excellent progress in collecting materials for my hypothetical Metallic Obelisk. I loaded up my Normal Glass furnace with a full 50 units of melted glass and started making glass sheets. It certainly started out grimly. I cracked the first seven sheets i attempted, though in the process i rose to skill 4. Then i succeeded once, and cracked another. By the time i had made 30 attempts i had 18 sheets of glass, having cracked 11 and lost one to over-fueling my bench. I was quite pleased. I hadn't known how many sheets i would have to crack for each skill level, but i hadn't expected to get to skill 6 in one session. I imagine that last level will be quite tedious to achieve, but it looks like it's doable in my time frame.

On the subject of the glazier's bench i have discovered, or reasoned out, a small refinement to the published technique. I have noticed that the later in the ten-tick heating cycle one adds additional fuel the smaller the spike. By watching the item timer tick down (especially easy with sheet glass) i am able to add 2 charcoal during the tenth tick, just before the temperature drops. This results in a spike of about 150 degrees in addition to the normal heat increase. This means that i can run the bench constantly without periodically stopping production to spike and cool it. (My bench is +56, -135.)

I traded the glass sheets with The Goods for strontium, platinum, and iron and still had a good deal of credit left over. If worse comes to worst i should be able to buy one of the mirrors.

I checked the material requirements for a 22-cubit Metallic Obelisk and it does in fact need 2 mirrors which is unfortunate but not unexpected. The materials i don't have are easy for me to produce myself so assuming i can take care of the mirrors and that no queue war erupts i'm in good shape for the Obelisk Test.
==='''Year 1 Shemu III-21'''===
Yay! One of my Prophecies came true. I am now Level 12. I signed up for Safari.

In other news i did another run of 30 attempted glass sheets. I cracked 4, fried one, and ended up with 25. Sadly my skill is still 6/7, but hopefully i'm that much closer to mirrors. I ran the firepit and poked it for a half-hour, only to discover that i had forgotten to put in the limestone. So i got 70 ash, which was nice, but no lime at all which is unfortunate because i actually have plenty of ash and needed the lime. Sigh.
==='''Year 1 Shemu III-22'''===
You can't do anything without doing something else first.

I planned to do some frog/rat/otter hunting today but first had promised to make some carpentry blades for the Queen of Denial guild. I loaded up the anvil and proceeded, using the excellent guides that have been published elsewhere (see the [[Blacksmithing_Guide |Blacksmithing Guide]] and check the references at the bottom of that page.) The "eight hits across the front" with the force 8 Shaping Mallet take some practice, as there are more than 8 nodes across the front edge, but it turns out to only matter a little. I've also added a refinement where i use the Shaping Mallet at force 5 to depress the area behind the edge around the V-shaped notch in the back before starting in on the directions in the guide. The results after following the guide are worse than just doing the guide, but i've been able to clean it up to 7.5K with about fifty more hits, where i could never clean up the guide blade to more than about 7.2K. I ended up with five in the 7.2K range and one 7.5K blade (the last one.)

Running back from QoD to my compound i found a flock of sheep, and being perennially short of leather i grabbed one. I then went in search of a public sheep pen and failed to find one. So i built one to the west of the School of Architecture near the road. I had to dry some rotten flax, and since i was carrying a sheep i couldn't carry more than 200 bricks so i had to make 7 trips back and forth to my compound but it was close enough that it was only annoying. Then i made the pen public, slaughtered my sheep and stored the products.

Time to head out. But on my way to the chariot stop someone announced that they needed witnesses for their wedding. I'm a sucker for that kind of thing besides considering it an obligation of sorts since my compound is in sight of the altar (that is, when people gather at that altar for a wedding i can see the names when i'm standing in my compound.) On the way to the wedding i noticed an intriguing Pathfinder which i poked at while waiting for the crowd to assemble. Someone brought a hookah to the wedding and i got my first point (rhubarb). Then we had the wedding, which took four tries.

Then i got booted from the computer so that my kid could do homework. Ah well, there's always later.
==='''Shemu III-27'''===
I've been in the desert for a couple of days now hunting various critters. I'm going to be a little vague in the descriptions since i don't want to give away any locations. Anyway, i've not seen any rats or otters but did come across an interesting situation with regard to cicadas. I found a spot that had multiple cages and after picking bugs from all of them i decided to try to break the cluster up a little. My first attempt moved all the cages instead of just one and to my surprise there were now more cages visible. It appears that it is possible for cages to be exactly on top of each other, something i hadn't known.

Yikes! Someone dropped out of the Metallic Obelisk queue, so i have four days less than i had planned to come up with two mirrors. I think i'm going to have to cut my rat-hunting expedition short.

==='''Shemu IV-2'''===
I'm still hunting in the desert. I haven't found any rats or otters but did locate a couple of frogs. They seem pretty straightforward and should be my ticket to a strength point.
==='''Shemu IV-7'''===
I'm back from my desert roaming. I found a lot of bugs so that part went well. On the other hand i didn't see any rats or otters. I refurbished a couple of my remote outposts but wasn't able to do anything with the one in the NE corner of the map due to an unremembered complete lack of grass in the area. I'll have to bring some supplies the next time i head that way.

My Sheet Glass skill is now at 7, which happened on the third sheet of my glass run. I had burned and boiled enough supplies to stock the glazier's bench up to 50 glass, so hitting my goal on the third try was somewhat anti-climactic. Still, i can't really complain (or can i? :-).

I let everything cool and pulled the two intact sheets, then headed for The Goods. I got some leather to contribute toward a guild Barrel Grinder, either for construction or operation, and a batch of cement and some Medium Stones to make into concrete. Silver Powder is still hideously expensive (at least to buy 200 debens) and someone has slurped up the last mirror so i don't have the option of paying a lot of Goodscript for one. Hopefully the Barrel Grinder will be completed soon. I still have two weeks before my turn in the Obelisk queue comes up.

I made a sledgehammer and attacked one of the Medium Stones. It's just as annoying as i remember it being. I did my experiment between two hills to see if gravity played any role in the process but it doesn't seem to, that is, the ejecta scooted indifferently up and down slopes for the same distance. This is one of those activities which is possible to solo but which goes much quicker with help. I like activities with that quality since i'm not able to play regularly for hours at a time, so group activities are hard to schedule.
==='''Shemu IV-14'''===
Busy, busy, busy.

I haven't found any more frogs, but did find an otter and an ibis, so i got my first strength point. Whee! I celebrated by loading up with silt on my way back to camp from the ibis. This will make a lot of things easier. I'm going to enjoy it, i'm sure.

While out exploring i found a Mixed Nuts mining compound that had degenerated to 0%. I spent the time to repair it but couldn't do anything for the equipment inside; Compression Furnaces seem to be resistant to my Structure Repair 2 skill, and i just built a new Hackling Rake rather than try to repair the one in the compound.

When i got back i pitched in for at Mixed Nuts project to build a Barrel Grinder. The only thing that's left is the 120 bearings, so i'm making half the bronze. So far i've got 99 done, including 2 perfect runs. On the other hand i ran out of Fern Palm resin and had to dash out and get more, but fortunately it's pretty common. I hope to finish the last of the bronze tonight, and then i'll fire up the Master Casting Box and make some bearings.
==='''Shemu IV-16'''===
I finished up my share of the bronze for bearings, using up the last of my copper to do so. I fired up the MCB and started cranking out batches of 10 bearings. While i was doing that other-person-in-the-guild-whose-name-i-am-totally-blanking-on finished up the rest of the bronze (and then some; he was on a roll) and took over the MCB. The barrel grinder is now finished. Now i just need to <del>bully</del> sweet talk a grinding party into existence.

I made a tech run to Saqquarah. I feel somewhat guilty doing so, but it's part of how the game works. I picked up papermaking and gem cutting, so now i have an opportunity to blow more of my resources building things that will be time sinks. Heh. Welcome to Egypt. I also got my pyramid construction skill up to 7, so should a general madness overtake Egypt it would be possible for me to become an Oracle. It's nice to set goals that are beyond one's reach.

As long as i was in the neighborhood i picked up 95 white sand (yay STR 1!). While carting it around (perhaps that was why i never caught the gazelle, see below) it occurred to me that the only sensible place to make Fine Glass products is within short walking distance of a white sand patch, at least until one gets at least STR 3 and could conceivably carry (with peppers) 3000 debens, or enough for one run of the glazier's oven.

I saw a gazelle today. They are cute but annoying. I put a call out on E! but there were no takers, so i chased it around a bit and then went home.

I've changed the format of my semi-blog, as it was getting to be too much of a nuisance to scroll down through the whole thing. I'm lazy. So sue me. :-)

==='''Shemu IV-19'''===
Finally got Cooking 1. I borrowed some carrot seeds from Queen of Denial and grew the veggies. It was nice that, with STR 1 and DEX 3 I could just waltz them over to the school instead of dumping my usual tools first. Stat boosts are fun!
==='''Akhet I-7'''===
It's been awhile. I've got 2 strength points now, which is very nice. I built my first tower and got 4% of Egypt. I've also gotten a macro to work for the first time in 4 Tellings and while it was very convenient and did a much better job than i could (it is a mining macro) i still felt vaguely cheap somehow. Not cheap enough to stop doing it, mind you, just mildly uncomfortable.

I also came face-to-face with a reality that's been percolating in the back of my head for awhile but which came into sharp focus when a guildmate mentioned that he had nineteen cicada cages out and working. There is no way in hell that i would ever spend the time necessary to accomplish this. So, the reality is that Egypt really is not for the casual player. I like to do different things but this means by definition that i will never excel in any of them, because there is someone in the game who is specializing in whatever it is.

What i'm finding is that this leaves me completely unmotivated to participate in the large-scale aspects of the game. As a "good citizen" of Egypt i should spend time judging statues, solving puzzles, and watching events, but the way i figure it the seven (or 12 or 21) people who really care should just get together and pass each other and let the rest of us get on with whatever insignificant piddly tasks amuse us. The material costs for the test buildings are enormous, and the costs for the building to make the materials for the test buildings are pretty large as well. It takes me a long time to put that much effort together. I understand that that's the way the game is designed and that i'm here by choice. Fine. But what i'm finding is that i can amuse myself without paying any attention to what passes for the plot of this Telling.

That's not to say i'm anti-social. If a guildmate asked for help collecting resources or putting things together i'd be there. But doing something For The Good of Egypt? Meh. I'm also not belittling in any way the efforts of the people who chose to put in the time. They're working hard, and they're reaping the rewards. That seems fair enough to me. In many cases (the Veggie Pyramids come to mind) i reap some benefits as well. Do i feel a little guilty? Perhaps. But that's part of the game, too. And i'm showing my approval in the only way that Teppy cares about: i'm paying my subscription fee. So the only two people who really matter are satisfied.
==='''Akhet I-11'''===
My gyration cell is done! I spent an hour and a half finishing up the tin sheets and glass tubes. I threw in 1500 copper ore i'd extracted from my copper mine and then went to one of the Mixed Nuts iron mines. The wiki page said it was level 4 and fixed but it was actually level 8 and fixed. Unfortunately it collapsed after 4 pulls and i felt compelled to fix it, so i did. I then pulled almost 1600 ore out and threw that in the gyration cell. Sweet. :-)
==='''Akhet I-30'''===
I've found a bunch of critters and now have as much strength as i have dexterity (3). Running around in the desert isn't very interesting so i look for bodies of water and do some herb gathering. I've found two more bugs in the process. I really should get a rabbit from someone and pitch it and make a fennec cage to claim the level but just haven't gotten around to it.

I'm coming to the head of the Metallic Obelisk queue in QR. The person two people ahead of me hasn't been logged on in over a week so the person immediately ahead of me has built. When she passes, and if the person ahead of me still hasn't been seen i'll put up my obelisk. If she shows up and is ready to build she'll go next. In either case i should pass my first actual test some time in the next two weeks.

I made a scent lab and started playing with it, only to find out that it will take a lot of research to get anything useful out of it. I managed to drive my first batch of incense to quality zero. My second batch had a high value of over 160 but i dragged it down with further experimenting. It looks like there are 42 different initial tendencies for the incense, one positive and one negative. Each one corresponds to one of the stat skills. Then there is a scent; i've had pine and something else (i've misplaced my notebook). There is some research elsewhere in the wiki but since the effects are both ephemeral and minor it isn't very worthwhile to pursue. I'll do it anyway but it will be slow.
==='''Akhet II-10'''===
My Metallic Obelisk is built and ticking away.

I got another Acrobatic move and am now at dexterity 4. I've found my last frog and an ibis and (whatever else i may have written above) i need one more animal to get to strength 4. I guess i'm going to have to start buckling down and go after my eagles and fennecs.

I participated in a heptathalon, which is a one-RL-hour timed contest in which one picks grass, picks slate, gathers silt, fishes, gathers wood, grows flax, and grows veggies. (Hmm, i thought gathering clay was in there too. I'll have to check when i log in next.) I ended up with 142 points out of a possible 700, but i think the winner only got about 250 so it wasn't that bad. I did mostly slate and grass, with some fish and silt, and a token amount of wood that didn't score me any points but did qualify me as having attempted that contest so i got another steel for my effort.

I finally made myself a hatchet and a shovel out of iron. The former came out ok at 7741. The shovel is a little better at 8145. Now i want to find a dig somewhere to try it out.

==='''Akhet II-15'''===
My obelisk is still chugging along.

I decided that i wanted a brick machine because i thought (mistakenly, as it turns out) that it would allow me to make clay bricks. (Because what i ''really'' want is a charcoal oven, but of course before one can do anything one must do something else first.) It took me all evening, but i reacted the bronze (80) and brass (8) that i'd need, then cast it into 80 bearing along with the 4 small gears and 2 medium gears. For no particular reason i fired up the Master's Forge and made an extrusion plate, and as long as it was hot i made 4 lead chisels. I put the extrusion plate in my improved Student Forge, fired ''it'' up, made the 4 sheets of copper and then spent the rest of the time making copper wire.

Imagine my disappointment when, after putting clay and sand into the contraption, i tried to start making wet clay bricks. That's what i get for not checking more carefully. However all is not lost. I figure i can get one of my neighbors to start the machine for me after i load it up, since they undoubtedly have learned Masonry along the way.

I managed to make some low-grade +end -str incense (that is, when i stuck the sap in it was already above 167 in quality). I also determined that the buff stacks by eating a grilled onion and then sniffing the incense. Lo and behold, my END was 3 instead of 0. It's not all that useful as the effects lasted less than 5 minutes and the stick of incense burned about the same length of time, but what the heck. (Oh, my strength went down by one, but since i am a MIGHTY SAFARIAN it was still 2. :-)

So i'll start accumulating wet clay bricks (i should have 600 over with Sam and Bessie) and then i'll start putting together my first charcoal oven.
==='''Akhet III-25'''===
It's been awhile. Much has happened, yet much is the same. I haven't achieved another level, but i have expanded my compound and built some new buildings. I've also been solving a lot of puzzles. As usual i haven't been able to excel at anything because my interests are too wide, but i'm resigned to not passing the tests. I've made several bug-hunting trips but i clearly don't think like the majority of the cicada crowd because i'm not finding any bugs, let alone the scores of bugs that those who are doing well find. Conversely, the cages i put out only last a couple of days. Perhaps i'm looking where *everyone* is looking.

I was finally on-line at the same time as my uphill neighbor and i was able to hire him to fire 1200 wet clay bricks for me. I can't do them myself since i don't have Masonry. I paid him 12 cuttable stone for firing the 1200 bricks, and we both went home happy. Now i have two charcoal ovens, which should keep me rolling in charcoal for the rest of the Telling. (Lag willing.)

I also made a rabbit hutch (with a clay dome purchased from The Goods: i love those guys) so that i can grow rabbits so that i can hunt eagles so that i can get a few more Strength points and possibly even pass Safari. Eventually. I want to grow a couple thousand carrots before getting any bunnies.

I poked two fires for over 20 minutes and got 61 and 63 ash out of them, only to realize that i had forgotten to put in the limestone. That's the second time i've done that. I may just have to bite the bullet and do a lime-only burn, but i always hate wasting the effort, and growing 200 papyrus is pretty easy. (if time-consuming). I've got a big pile of white sand just waiting to turn into fine glass.

Solving puzzles has caused me serious conflict. On the one hand i'd like to be nice to my fellow Egyptians and help them out. On the other hand, some of the puzzles, especially the Empty Hand puzzles, are completely lame. They show no effort whatsoever beyond acquiring the materials. In the end i can't bring myself to give such puzzles a Good rating, and don't. It is also somewhat ironic that the puzzles that i would like to rate highly are the ones i can't solve. Perhaps there should be a way to figure in "hours spent fiddling with it" to the score.
===Year 2, Shemu IV-15===
It's been awhile. A few notes of things i want to remember:
*I passed my 4th Cicada level with 53777 points 42 days ago. I think i have enough points to pass another level.
*I made two large gears and got another level of Structure Maintenance, for whatever that's worth. (now at 3)
*I'm planning to get another level of Structure Repair. Flint is cheap and i can grow papyrus. The paper will take a long time.
*I passed Darkest Night by eating 7 shrooms. I'm now a middling Level 18.
===Year 2, Shemu IV-24===
Whatddaya know, i'm in the Demi-Pharoah finals. For anyone who's come here for info on me, here's a brief sketch.
*I would class myself as a "casual" player, 3 or four times a week for a few hours. If you're looking for a hands-on, finger-in-every-pie sort of DP you can stop reading here.
*Partly as a result of this i have a pretty hands-off attitude toward most things. As a first, and very general, cut at evaluating a situation, if the mechanics of the game allow it then it's "legal".
*That's not to say that everything is "nice". People can be jerks, and groups of people can be collective jerks. Such is human nature.
*To my way of thinking the only thing that i as a player really have permanently in the game is my reputation. Yes, the game mechanics may allow me to do something but if i choose to take that action i must also be prepared to accept whatever the consequences may be.
*This is muddled by the fact that different people are playing the game with different goals. One man's griefing is another man's cleverness. I have no stock answer for this other than, "I know it when i see it".
*I view the Ban as a measure of last resort which is not particularly suited to the tasks assigned to it. If a player is determined to cause grief, banning an individual character won't solve the problem. If there has been a tragic misunderstanding between two parties, slaying someone won't make things better. It is a conundrum.

==My Petition==
Petition by Aku

Aku for Queen's Retreat Regional Garbage Collector

Oh, People of Queen's Retreat, hear the plea of Aku, a humble handmaiden of the region. Our public areas become blighted with abandoned flimsy brick racks, wood planes, and small distaffs. The people become discontent yet all efforts to legislate a solution fall short in some way, and the blight remains.

I petition to be granted the awesome power to salvage any of the three above items in Queen's Retreat which are not within a compound. I realize that this is a great power, and i understand the reluctance anyone might feel in granting it, unchecked, to a single individual. I pledge to use discretion and judgement, and that i am a thoughtful and civic-minded person with no intention of causing harm or unhappiness.

I believe this would do good for the region, clearing places for newcomers to experience Egypt in its beauty. I also believe that nothing short of this will alleviate the problem.

And since this isn't outrageous enough, i request that only the votes of citizens whose primary guild is in Queen's Retreat be counted.

Submitted for your consideration by Aku.

==Inclinations==
I don't have the time to spend grinding my way to the top, so i end up soloing a lot. I'm making an effort to be more social this time around. I like mentoring so if you want advice feel free to chat me and i'll see what i can do. If i don't answer right away i may be making glass or charcoal.

==History==
I played all of T1, sporadically in T2 and T3. I'm hoping to make it all the way through this one.

Aku: /* 1. Please explain why you think Egypt should vote for you for DP */

== debate notes and questions ==

For September 5 debate. Time will be at 2:00pm EST on Sunday.

Please create an intro for yourself and post it under the INTRO heading

Each candidate, please answer each question listed

== INTRODUCTIONS ==

* Aku

Greetings to Egypt. I played all of Tale 1, and blipped in and out of Tales 2 and 3, (mostly out). I am fascinated by the community in Egypt and the extraordinary things that it can accomplish. I'd be honored to be a part of it, even in such a difficult role as DP.

My compound is in Queen's Retreat on the beach near the School of Architecture, where a great deal of my equipment is set for public use. I have been spending a lot of time on the Body tests so i am often not there, but feel free to use the stuff.

* Dreasimy

Hello Egypt! I’ve been playing since Tale 1. I love the community that ATITD manages to foster – I appreciate its openness and diversity. Egypt holds a special place in my heart also because at a wine tasting in Sinai in Tale 1, I met Ay for the first time and now we’ve been married (in real life) for over 4 years. My main hobbies in Egypt are Wine, Mines, the Test of theVenery, hosting a silly Microphone called GOO, and creating and running events.

'''Hello fellows Egyptians :)'''

I'm an old player (an old man too ?) from T1, I was here too in T2 and T3 so I have a lot of experience from the game, the main laws, the gameplay, the 'ethics' from the game. I'm french, living in Paris and I'm adult's trainer in health and safety at work : my last english lesson is far, very far, so be tolerant of my spelling and grammar, please :) 

'''Bonjour, citoyens égyptiens :)'''

Je suis un ancien joueur (et un vieil homme ?) de T1, j'étais là aussi dans T2 et T3, j'ai donc une grande expérience du jeu, des principales loi, du gameplay, de l'éthique du jeu. Je suis français et je vis à Paris, je suis formateur pour adultes en santé et sécurité au travail : ma dernière leçon d'anglais est loin, très loin, aussi je vous demande d'être tolérants avec mon orthographe et ma grammaire, s'il vous plait :) 

* Murtha

'''hello Egypt! I'm so sorry i couldn't be here today, unfortunantly my schedule won't permit it.'''

But, before I say anything, I'd like to send good thoughts and prayers to Spooner whom I've been informed is in the hospital. He is an amazing person and player and one of the reasons I love egypt!! We miss you Spoony!

Anyway, my intro - I'm a fairly long time player. I've seen the ups and downs of Egypt, rather like real life in that:) I'm a bit 'older', a retired psychologist and a mother of 10 awesome kids. Conflict has been a way of life for as you can tell. I try to interject humor in most everything, I find that to be a great diffuser if you can get folks to laugh at themselves. I'm really into the creativety of egypt as any of you who have visited my CP and sheep playground know.

As a side note, since i can't be here to answer general questions, please chat me with them or any question, concern,comment.

* SpicyXX

* Twoshadows

Hello Egyptians :) I am a former player from Tale 2, had to skip 3 due to financial and time constraints. I am probably one of the younger, if not the youngest, DP up for debate. I currently study maths at university and am just entering my second year now. I think I would be able to provide quite a lot of energy into the role, and time as my course is not too time intensive. I am from the United Kingdom so I am generally around during European times although I am around late at night, well evening for most of you, so I do also interact with American players quite a lot too.

== Questions ==

===1. Please explain why you think Egypt should vote for you for DP===

* Aku
I am a good impartial listener. I believe the DP ban is a blunt weapon of last resort and that people should do their best to solve their disputes in a civilized manner. I am happy to help any such parties work out the inevitable conflicts and misunderstandings that are a byproduct of human beings interact.
* Dreasimy

* Dustitwister

* Ephemere
I think this question can be merged with the number 4 : 'What do you believe the role of DP is ?' For this, as much as put myself in place of an Egyptian (yes, empathy is a necessary quality for a DP!). I don't want to be banned : candidates must give me a guarantee of fairness and balance to make sure do not ban me for nothing. Then, a DP can not be banished himself, except by using an heavy procedure : I must be sure that my candidate will not 'flipping out' and doing crazy things (it has already seen). Last, but not written anywhere, I am able to use the services of a DP as a mediator/negociator in conflict with another player/guld. This last task is the main job for a DP. 
My professionnal experience of course, but my past in the three previous tales speak for me : I think to gather these capabilities. 

Je pense que cette question peut-être fusionnée avec la 4 : 'quel est selon vous le rôle d'un DP ?' Pour cela, autant se mettre à la place d'un égyptien (oui, l'empathie est une qualité nécessaire pour un DP !). Je ne veux pas être banni : les candidats doivent me donner une garantie de leur équité et de leur équilibre afin d'être sûr de ne pas me faire bannir pour un rien. Ensuite, un DP ne peut pas être banni lui-même, sauf en utilisant une procédure lourde : je dois être sûr que mon candidat ne va pas 'péter les plombs' et faire des choses insensées (cela s'est déjà vu). Enfin, mais ce n'est écrit nulle part, je dois pouvoir utiliser les services d'un DP comme médiateur/négociateur lors d'un conflit avec
un autre joueur/guilde. Ce dernier point est le travail principal d'un DP. 
Mon expérience professionnelle bien sûr, mais aussi mon passé dans les trois précédents tales parlent pour moi : je pense réunir ces capacités. 

* Murtha
Well, my RL experiences of psychologist and mom of a herd stand me in good stead here. I have people from all over egypt chatting me for advice on how to handle one situation or another already, including sitting DPs. I think my biggest strength is being able to help folks find their own solutions, which is much more palatable. I also know when something is beyond me, and have never hesitated to ask for advice (just check with my early mentors). Those who know me , both here in and in RL, know that I am impartial, open and ready to listen to all sides.

* SpicyXX

* Twoshadows

I am very organised and good at planning which I believe is a key skill to be a DP as if your time is not managed correctly then you will be nowhere near as effective as you could be. I help run the weightlifting society at my university and am an Ex captain at my golf club so I am used to the pressures of having resposibility, having to organise things and dealing with people in a way that they feel like something is being done to help them and that I am on their side. I am friendly and am willing to help out anyone who needs it, I have a few things to learn myself I am sure. I am good at remaining impartial when making descisions, a vital attribute for a DP as there is no room for blinkered eyes if one of your friends is in the wrong in an argument.

My playing style is inspired by two discipline : the human body and the worship. The human body for his appearance a bit individualist, the opportunity to surpass oneself, the patience, but also the cooperation between players. The worship for its social dimension, mutual aid and achieving a common task. These preferences are reflected in my style of play: first, I have a camp with my spouse, lilinou, we trying to provide alone with our basic needs to be independent : on the other hand, I participate at the life of the Egyptian community through my work as a translator, but also in my guilds, or the support that I bring to the research, according to my means, especially the development of roses of Ra. 
I do not feel the need to put myself forward, so I can give the impression of being 'absent' whatsoever on E!, or in the forums but I try to stay informed of the main events in Egyptian life ; I feel no need to proclaim my accomplishments everywhere or the help I can give to my fellow citizens, I am doing it for my pleasure. 

Mon style de jeu trouve son inspiration dans deux grandes disciplines : le corps humain et la vénération. Le corps humain pour son aspect un peu individualiste, la possibilité de se dépasser soi-même, la patience, mais aussi la coopération entre joueurs. La vénération pour sa dimension sociale, l'entraide et la réalisation d'un objectif commun. Ces préférences se retrouvent dans mon style de jeu : d'une part, j'ai un camp où, avec mon épouse lilinou, nous essayons de subvenir seuls à nos besoins essentiels afin d'être indépendants : d'autre part je participe à la vie de la communauté égyptienne à travers mon activité de traducteur, mais aussi dans mes guildes, ou encore l'aide que j'apporte à la recherche, en fonction de mes moyens, en particulier le développement des roses de Ra. 
Je ne ressens pas le besoin de me mettre en avant, c'est pourquoi je peux donner l'impression d'être 'absent' que ce soit sur E!, ou bien dans les forums mais j'essaie de rester informé des principaux événements de la vie égyptienne ;
je n'éprouve pas le besoin de clâmer partout mes réalisations ou encore l'aide que je peux apporter à mes concitoyens,
je le fais pour mon plaisir.

* Murtha
well, one of the things i'm proud of is helping to bring together 2 guilds that were suffering from misunderstandings and now they are working together to build an aqua line that so far has i believe 40 towers and has not run dry yet. Most of what I do is not in the limelight, helping people with beetles, giving advice and mentoring as much as I can.

* SpicyXX

* Twoshadows

In this tale I am trying to be as balanced as possible in my pursuit of tests, one from each at a time. One of my main achievemnets I believe is the speed in which I passed test of the acrobat, I set myself a goal of before I went on holiday, approximately 2 weeks away, and set about achieveing that goal. Finally on the night before I passed achieveing my goal but most of all meeting a lot of amazing people along the way and making some good friends too :) The majority of my time at the moment is spent in beetle breeding, 9 terraniums but planning to expand to 18, and glass making, something i find relaxing to do. All khefre's essence produced is donated to research, at the moment i produce 1 every 2-3 days which I find helps research along a lot :)

===3. Land disputes are the main cause of conflict this tale... how would you handle this? (example: someone builds an oven in someones camp, or a mine too close to someones cp)===

* Aku
Given the game mechanics there is no good solution for this problem. If the parties involved cannot come to some mutual agreement there is not much that a DP can do, as banning the owner doesn't get rid of the offending building(s).

If two parties came to me with a dispute I would ask that A) they both agree to treat my intervention as binding arbitration, and B) they each put up a candidate for a Ban in case of breach of contract. I would then hear the case and make a decision which might include reparations, tearing down buildings, a Ban of some other involved party, or doing nothing at all. If the agreement gets carried out, we're done. If one or both parties violate the agreement then the applicable designated targets get Banned and we start over again.

Might work. Might not. I only just thought of this so some of the details might need tweaking. Let me know what you think.

* Dreasimy

* Dustitwister

* Ephemere
The concept of land's property does not exist in Egypt, there is no law that governs it, however there is a rule that prohibits building where someone has already built : the GM are the guardians of it. Before to call them, a DP may attempt to intervene, but his power is very thin and only his talents as a mediator may eventually resolve the conflict. 
La notion de propriété immobilière n'existe pas en Egypte, il n'y a pas de loi qui la régisse ; en revanche il existe une règle qui interdit de construire là où quelqu'un a déjà construit, les GM en sont les gardiens. Avant de faire appel à eux, un DP peut tenter d'intervenir mais son pouvoir est bien mince et seuls ses talents de médiateur pourront éventuellement résoudre le conflit. 

* Murtha
That is a toughie. Egypt doesn't have defined land ownership, so there are many things that are in grey areas. If something is obviously a case of not knowing, I help the offender with mats to move the offendindg structure. If it is a case of pure griefing, usually reasoning will not work, though i do try. The best a DP can do in that situation is try their best to effect a reasonable solution. If TOS has been violated, then the GMs can be called in.

* SpicyXX

* Twoshadows

I believe the main thing here is to find a solution to the problem that is acceptable to both parties, possibly the person with the grievance may be willing to allow the building to remain where it is for a certain percentage of the items produced. If this is not the case then I would help the builder move the offending building to a new and more acceptable place by gathering materials and aiding in construction anyway possible. Whilst the concept of ownership is not defined in any laws as of yet it is important to respect people's space and plans, by working with both parties I believe any disputes can be sorted out fairly and justly.

===4. What do you believe the role of DP is?===

* Aku
The role of the DP is to exist. Anyone with a dispute will know that should things escalate past a certain point that there is an entity within the game that can ban a character forcing the player to start over again. This should encourage players to work out their problems among themselves. Coming to a DP to settle an issue is a measure of last resort, because the only tool that the DP has is very blunt and doesn't generally even solve the problem, it just punishes someone.

* Dreasimy

* Dustitwister

* Ephemere
See my answer at number 1 / Je vous renvoie à ma réponse de la question 1 

* Murtha
A DP is basically an impartial third party observer, whose job it is to mediate and/or negotiate solutions to the problems players might have with each other. The role is NOT a policeman, or to force your views on others. I see it as a chance to help correct misunderstanding educate new players and help the stress and frustration we all feel, that sometimes gets the better of us.

* SpicyXX

* Twoshadows

A DP's role is to act as a judge for all of Egypt, people bring their problems to them and they hear all the evidence before dispensing a well considered verdict and possibke recriminations. A DP is also a community support officer, offering help to people that need it most and educating people in the ways of Egypt so that less disputes occur in the future.

===5. Explosives are about to come out... is this a bannable offense? Would YOU ban someone for this?===

* Aku
So let me get this straight: the game will shortly allow construction of a device that will destroy buildings and this is a DP problem? Sigh.

To answer the question, to the extent that banning someone will solve the problem of them behaving like a jerk i would be willing to use the Ban.
* Dreasimy

* Dustitwister

* Ephemere
Hmmm ... need I say it here ? That might go against me, but I was the Cathy's mentor in T1 ... Since, the time spent :) 
Back to the topic ... There is no typical situation, so there is no typical clue ; I retain only one principle : the one who caused the damage should pay (the principle of civil liability). Regarding the 'criminal's consequences' from the case, I think DP should get together and make a group answer. This raises a more general question of the use of the ban : I think, except a case requiring an urgent response, the decision of a ban and its duration should be taken collectively by all the DP. 

Hmmm ... dois-je le dire ici ? Cela ne me rendra pas forcemment service, mais j'étais le mentor de Cathy dans T1 ...
Depuis le temps a passé :) 
Revenons au sujet ... Il n'y a pas de situation type, il ne peut donc y avoir de solution type ; je ne retiens qu'un seul principe : celui ou celle qui a causé des dommages devrait les rembourser (principe de responsabilité civile). Pour ce qui concerne les suites 'pénales' de l'affaire, je pense que les DP devraient se réunir et rendre une réponse collégiale. Ceci pose d'une manière plus générale la question de l'utilisation du bannissement : selon moi, sauf exception nécessitant une réponse urgente, la décision du ban et sa durée devrait être prise collégialement par l'ensemble des DP. 

* Murtha
If a person blew up a critical structure, like a CS or a public facility, then in my mind they are asking to be banned. In the cases i've seen where someone has been banned, they have done things in order to BE banned, they wanted it. But i think we ought to draft some very clear laws so that we do have direction, maybe define the restitutions etc. My thoughts of someone blowing up private structures is that the offender should be responsible for the mats needed to replace/rebuild.

* SpicyXX

* Twoshadows

It all depends on the actions of the person, blowing up something considerable and widely used such as public facilities is a bannable offence in my opinion. Unless the offender can replace eveything they create quickly, and if the acted in a malicious way then I believe they should be banned. Blowing up someone's compound as a little joke wouldnt be too bad as long as the offender replaced all mats needed and helped in construction then that would be considered ok as long as they are not a serial offender. However blowing up all of a certain person's buildings out of spite and then not helping would be bannable, it just is not acceptable behaviour.

== INTRODUCTIONS ==

* Aku

Greetings to Egypt. I played all of Tale 1, and blipped in and out of Tales 2 and 3, (mostly out). I am fascinated by the community in Egypt and the extraordinary things that it can accomplish. I'd be honored to be a part of it, even in such a difficult role as DP.

My compound is in Queen's Retreat on the beach near the School of Architecture, where a great deal of my equipment is set for public use. I have been spending a lot of time on the Body tests so i am often not there, but feel free to use the stuff.

* Dreasimy

Hello Egypt! I’ve been playing since Tale 1. I love the community that ATITD manages to foster – I appreciate its openness and diversity. Egypt holds a special place in my heart also because at a wine tasting in Sinai in Tale 1, I met Ay for the first time and now we’ve been married (in real life) for over 4 years. My main hobbies in Egypt are Wine, Mines, the Test of theVenery, hosting a silly Microphone called GOO, and creating and running events.

'''Hello fellows Egyptians :)'''

I'm an old player (an old man too ?) from T1, I was here too in T2 and T3 so I have a lot of experience from the game, the main laws, the gameplay, the 'ethics' from the game. I'm french, living in Paris and I'm adult's trainer in health and safety at work : my last english lesson is far, very far, so be tolerant of my spelling and grammar, please :) 

'''Bonjour, citoyens égyptiens :)'''

Je suis un ancien joueur (et un vieil homme ?) de T1, j'étais là aussi dans T2 et T3, j'ai donc une grande expérience du jeu, des principales loi, du gameplay, de l'éthique du jeu. Je suis français et je vis à Paris, je suis formateur pour adultes en santé et sécurité au travail : ma dernière leçon d'anglais est loin, très loin, aussi je vous demande d'être tolérants avec mon orthographe et ma grammaire, s'il vous plait :) 

* Murtha

'''hello Egypt! I'm so sorry i couldn't be here today, unfortunantly my schedule won't permit it.'''

But, before I say anything, I'd like to send good thoughts and prayers to Spooner whom I've been informed is in the hospital. He is an amazing person and player and one of the reasons I love egypt!! We miss you Spoony!

Anyway, my intro - I'm a fairly long time player. I've seen the ups and downs of Egypt, rather like real life in that:) I'm a bit 'older', a retired psychologist and a mother of 10 awesome kids. Conflict has been a way of life for as you can tell. I try to interject humor in most everything, I find that to be a great diffuser if you can get folks to laugh at themselves. I'm really into the creativety of egypt as any of you who have visited my CP and sheep playground know.

As a side note, since i can't be here to answer general questions, please chat me with them or any question, concern,comment.

* Twoshadows

Hello Egyptians :) I am a former player from Tale 2, had to skip 3 due to financial and time constraints. I am probably one of the younger, if not the youngest, DP up for debate. I currently study maths at university and am just entering my second year now. I think I would be able to provide quite a lot of energy into the role, and time as my course is not too time intensive. I am from the United Kingdom so I am generally around during European times although I am around late at night, well evening for most of you, so I do also interact with American players quite a lot too.

== Questions ==

===1. Please explain why you think Egypt should vote for you for DP===

* Aku

* Dreasimy

* Dustitwister

* Ephemere
I think this question can be merged with the number 4 : 'What do you believe the role of DP is ?' For this, as much as put myself in place of an Egyptian (yes, empathy is a necessary quality for a DP!). I don't want to be banned : candidates must give me a guarantee of fairness and balance to make sure do not ban me for nothing. Then, a DP can not be banished himself, except by using an heavy procedure : I must be sure that my candidate will not 'flipping out' and doing crazy things (it has already seen). Last, but not written anywhere, I am able to use the services of a DP as a mediator/negociator in conflict with another player/guld. This last task is the main job for a DP. 
My professionnal experience of course, but my past in the three previous tales speak for me : I think to gather these capabilities. 

Je pense que cette question peut-être fusionnée avec la 4 : 'quel est selon vous le rôle d'un DP ?' Pour cela, autant se mettre à la place d'un égyptien (oui, l'empathie est une qualité nécessaire pour un DP !). Je ne veux pas être banni : les candidats doivent me donner une garantie de leur équité et de leur équilibre afin d'être sûr de ne pas me faire bannir pour un rien. Ensuite, un DP ne peut pas être banni lui-même, sauf en utilisant une procédure lourde : je dois être sûr que mon candidat ne va pas 'péter les plombs' et faire des choses insensées (cela s'est déjà vu). Enfin, mais ce n'est écrit nulle part, je dois pouvoir utiliser les services d'un DP comme médiateur/négociateur lors d'un conflit avec
un autre joueur/guilde. Ce dernier point est le travail principal d'un DP. 
Mon expérience professionnelle bien sûr, mais aussi mon passé dans les trois précédents tales parlent pour moi : je pense réunir ces capacités. 

* Murtha
Well, my RL experiences of psychologist and mom of a herd stand me in good stead here. I have people from all over egypt chatting me for advice on how to handle one situation or another already, including sitting DPs. I think my biggest strength is being able to help folks find their own solutions, which is much more palatable. I also know when something is beyond me, and have never hesitated to ask for advice (just check with my early mentors). Those who know me , both here in and in RL, know that I am impartial, open and ready to listen to all sides.

* SpicyXX

* Twoshadows

I am very organised and good at planning which I believe is a key skill to be a DP as if your time is not managed correctly then you will be nowhere near as effective as you could be. I help run the weightlifting society at my university and am an Ex captain at my golf club so I am used to the pressures of having resposibility, having to organise things and dealing with people in a way that they feel like something is being done to help them and that I am on their side. I am friendly and am willing to help out anyone who needs it, I have a few things to learn myself I am sure. I am good at remaining impartial when making descisions, a vital attribute for a DP as there is no room for blinkered eyes if one of your friends is in the wrong in an argument.

My playing style is inspired by two discipline : the human body and the worship. The human body for his appearance a bit individualist, the opportunity to surpass oneself, the patience, but also the cooperation between players. The worship for its social dimension, mutual aid and achieving a common task. These preferences are reflected in my style of play: first, I have a camp with my spouse, lilinou, we trying to provide alone with our basic needs to be independent : on the other hand, I participate at the life of the Egyptian community through my work as a translator, but also in my guilds, or the support that I bring to the research, according to my means, especially the development of roses of Ra. 
I do not feel the need to put myself forward, so I can give the impression of being 'absent' whatsoever on E!, or in the forums but I try to stay informed of the main events in Egyptian life ; I feel no need to proclaim my accomplishments everywhere or the help I can give to my fellow citizens, I am doing it for my pleasure.

In the cases i've seen where someone has been banned, they have done things in order to BE banned, they wanted it. But i think we ought to draft some very clear laws so that we do have direction, maybe define the restitutions etc. My thoughts of someone blowing up private structures is that the offender should be responsible for the mats needed to replace/rebuild.

It all depends on the actions of the person, blowing up something considerable and widely used such as public facilities is a bannable offence in my opinion. Unless the offender can replace eveything they create quickly, and if the acted in a malicious way then I believe they should be banned. Blowing up someone's compound as a little joke wouldnt be too bad as long as the offender replaced all mats needed and helped in construction then that would be considered ok as long as they are not a serial offender. However blowing up all of a certain person's buildings out of spite and then not helping would be bannable, it just is not acceptable behaviour.

Hello Egyptians :) I am a former player from Tale 2, had to skip 3 due to financial and time constraints. I am probably one of the younger, if not the youngest, DP up for debate. I currently study maths at university and am just entering my second year now. I think I would be able to provide quite a lot of energy into the role, and time as my course is not too time intensive. I am from the United Kingdom so I am generally around during European times although I am around late at night, well evening for most of you, so I do also interact with American players quite a lot too.

===1. Please explain why you think Egypt should vote for you for DP===

I think this question can be merged with the number 4 : 'What do you believe the role of DP is ?' For this, as much as put myself in place of an Egyptian (yes, empathy is a necessary quality for a DP!). I don't want to be banned : candidates must give me a guarantee of fairness and balance to make sure do not ban me for nothing. Then, a DP can not be banished himself, except by using an heavy procedure : I must be sure that my candidate will not 'flipping out' and doing crazy things (it has already seen). Last, but not written anywhere, I am able to use the services of a DP as a mediator/negociator in conflict with another player/guld. This last task is the main job for a DP. 
My professionnal experience of course, but my past in the three previous tales speak for me : I think to gather these capabilities. 

Je pense que cette question peut-être fusionnée avec la 4 : 'quel est selon vous le rôle d'un DP ?' Pour cela, autant se mettre à la place d'un égyptien (oui, l'empathie est une qualité nécessaire pour un DP !). Je ne veux pas être banni : les candidats doivent me donner une garantie de leur équité et de leur équilibre afin d'être sûr de ne pas me faire bannir pour un rien. Ensuite, un DP ne peut pas être banni lui-même, sauf en utilisant une procédure lourde : je dois être sûr que mon candidat ne va pas 'péter les plombs' et faire des choses insensées (cela s'est déjà vu). Enfin, mais ce n'est écrit nulle part, je dois pouvoir utiliser les services d'un DP comme médiateur/négociateur lors d'un conflit avec
un autre joueur/guilde. Ce dernier point est le travail principal d'un DP. 
Mon expérience professionnelle bien sûr, mais aussi mon passé dans les trois précédents tales parlent pour moi : je pense réunir ces capacités.

Well, my RL experiences of psychologist and mom of a herd stand me in good stead here. I have people from all over egypt chatting me for advice on how to handle one situation or another already, including sitting DPs. I think my biggest strength is being able to help folks find their own solutions, which is much more palatable. I also know when something is beyond me, and have never hesitated to ask for advice (just check with my early mentors). Those who know me , both here in and in RL, know that I am impartial, open and ready to listen to all sides.

I am very organised and good at planning which I believe is a key skill to be a DP as if your time is not managed correctly then you will be nowhere near as effective as you could be. I help run the weightlifting society at my university and am an Ex captain at my golf club so I am used to the pressures of having resposibility, having to organise things and dealing with people in a way that they feel like something is being done to help them and that I am on their side. I am friendly and am willing to help out anyone who needs it, I have a few things to learn myself I am sure. I am good at remaining impartial when making descisions, a vital attribute for a DP as there is no room for blinkered eyes if one of your friends is in the wrong in an argument.

===2. Please tell us what some of your accomplishments are this tale===

My playing style is inspired by two discipline : the human body and the worship. The human body for his appearance a bit individualist, the opportunity to surpass oneself, the patience, but also the cooperation between players. The worship for its social dimension, mutual aid and achieving a common task. These preferences are reflected in my style of play: first, I have a camp with my spouse, lilinou, we trying to provide alone with our basic needs to be independent : on the other hand, I participate at the life of the Egyptian community through my work as a translator, but also in my guilds, or the support that I bring to the research, according to my means, especially the development of roses of Ra. 
I do not feel the need to put myself forward, so I can give the impression of being 'absent' whatsoever on E!, or in the forums but I try to stay informed of the main events in Egyptian life ; I feel no need to proclaim my accomplishments everywhere or the help I can give to my fellow citizens, I am doing it for my pleasure. 

Mon style de jeu trouve son inspiration dans deux grandes disciplines : le corps humain et la vénération. Le corps humain pour son aspect un peu individualiste, la possibilité de se dépasser soi-même, la patience, mais aussi la coopération entre joueurs. La vénération pour sa dimension sociale, l'entraide et la réalisation d'un objectif commun. Ces préférences se retrouvent dans mon style de jeu : d'une part, j'ai un camp où, avec mon épouse lilinou, nous essayons de subvenir seuls à nos besoins essentiels afin d'être indépendants : d'autre part je participe à la vie de la communauté égyptienne à travers mon activité de traducteur, mais aussi dans mes guildes, ou encore l'aide que j'apporte à la recherche, en fonction de mes moyens, en particulier le développement des roses de Ra. 
Je ne ressens pas le besoin de me mettre en avant, c'est pourquoi je peux donner l'impression d'être 'absent' que ce soit sur E!, ou bien dans les forums mais j'essaie de rester informé des principaux événements de la vie égyptienne ;
je n'éprouve pas le besoin de clâmer partout mes réalisations ou encore l'aide que je peux apporter à mes concitoyens,
je le fais pour mon plaisir.

* Murtha
well, one of the things i'm proud of is helping to bring together 2 guilds that were suffering from misunderstandings and now they are working together to build an aqua line that so far has i believe 40 towers and has not run dry yet. Most of what I do is not in the limelight, helping people with beetles, giving advice and mentoring as much as I can.

* SpicyXX

* Twoshadows

In this tale I am trying to be as balanced as possible in my pursuit of tests, one from each at a time. One of my main achievemnets I believe is the speed in which I passed test of the acrobat, I set myself a goal of before I went on holiday, approximately 2 weeks away, and set about achieveing that goal. Finally on the night before I passed achieveing my goal but most of all meeting a lot of amazing people along the way and making some good friends too :) The majority of my time at the moment is spent in beetle breeding, 9 terraniums but planning to expand to 18, and glass making, something i find relaxing to do. All khefre's essence produced is donated to research, at the moment i produce 1 every 2-3 days which I find helps research along a lot :)

===3. Land disputes are the main cause of conflict this tale... how would you handle this? (example: someone builds an oven in someones camp, or a mine too close to someones cp)===

* Aku
Given the game mechanics there is no good solution for this problem. If the parties involved cannot come to some mutual agreement there is not much that a DP can do, as banning the owner doesn't get rid of the offending building(s).

If two parties came to me with a dispute I would ask that A) they both agree to treat my intervention as binding arbitration, and B) they each put up a candidate for a Ban in case of breach of contract. I would then hear the case and make a decision which might include reparations, tearing down buildings, a Ban of some other involved party, or doing nothing at all. If the agreement gets carried out, we're done. If one or both parties violate the agreement then the applicable designated targets get Banned and we start over again.

Might work. Might not. I only just thought of this so some of the details might need tweaking. Let me know what you think.

* Dreasimy

* Dustitwister

* Ephemere
The concept of land's property does not exist in Egypt, there is no law that governs it, however there is a rule that prohibits building where someone has already built : the GM are the guardians of it. Before to call them, a DP may attempt to intervene, but his power is very thin and only his talents as a mediator may eventually resolve the conflict. 
La notion de propriété immobilière n'existe pas en Egypte, il n'y a pas de loi qui la régisse ; en revanche il existe une règle qui interdit de construire là où quelqu'un a déjà construit, les GM en sont les gardiens. Avant de faire appel à eux, un DP peut tenter d'intervenir mais son pouvoir est bien mince et seuls ses talents de médiateur pourront éventuellement résoudre le conflit. 

* Murtha
That is a toughie. Egypt doesn't have defined land ownership, so there are many things that are in grey areas. If something is obviously a case of not knowing, I help the offender with mats to move the offendindg structure. If it is a case of pure griefing, usually reasoning will not work, though i do try. The best a DP can do in that situation is try their best to effect a reasonable solution. If TOS has been violated, then the GMs can be called in.

* SpicyXX

* Twoshadows

I believe the main thing here is to find a solution to the problem that is acceptable to both parties, possibly the person with the grievance may be willing to allow the building to remain where it is for a certain percentage of the items produced. If this is not the case then I would help the builder move the offending building to a new and more acceptable place by gathering materials and aiding in construction anyway possible. Whilst the concept of ownership is not defined in any laws as of yet it is important to respect people's space and plans, by working with both parties I believe any disputes can be sorted out fairly and justly.

===4. What do you believe the role of DP is?===

* Aku
The role of the DP is to exist. Anyone with a dispute will know that should things escalate past a certain point that there is an entity within the game that can ban a character forcing the player to start over again. This should encourage players to work out their problems among themselves. Coming to a DP to settle an issue is a measure of last resort, because the only tool that the DP has is very blunt and doesn't generally even solve the problem, it just punishes someone.

* Dreasimy

* Dustitwister

* Ephemere
See my answer at number 1 / Je vous renvoie à ma réponse de la question 1 

* Murtha
A DP is basically an impartial third party observer, whose job it is to mediate and/or negotiate solutions to the problems players might have with each other. The role is NOT a policeman, or to force your views on others. I see it as a chance to help correct misunderstanding educate new players and help the stress and frustration we all feel, that sometimes gets the better of us.

* SpicyXX

* Twoshadows

A DP's role is to act as a judge for all of Egypt, people bring their problems to them and they hear all the evidence before dispensing a well considered verdict and possibke recriminations. A DP is also a community support officer, offering help to people that need it most and educating people in the ways of Egypt so that less disputes occur in the future.

===5. Explosives are about to come out... is this a bannable offense? Would YOU ban someone for this?===

* Aku
So let me get this straight: the game will shortly allow construction of a device that will destroy buildings and this is a DP problem? Sigh.

To answer the question, to the extent that banning someone will solve the problem of them behaving like a jerk i would be willing to use the Ban.
* Dreasimy

Hmmm ... need I say it here ? That might go against me, but I was the Cathy's mentor in T1 ... Since, the time spent :) 
Back to the topic ... There is no typical situation, so there is no typical clue ; I retain only one principle : the one who caused the damage should pay (the principle of civil liability). Regarding the 'criminal's consequences' from the case, I think DP should get together and make a group answer. This raises a more general question of the use of the ban : I think, except a case requiring an urgent response, the decision of a ban and its duration should be taken collectively by all the DP. 

Hmmm ... dois-je le dire ici ? Cela ne me rendra pas forcemment service, mais j'étais le mentor de Cathy dans T1 ...
Depuis le temps a passé :) 
Revenons au sujet ... Il n'y a pas de situation type, il ne peut donc y avoir de solution type ; je ne retiens qu'un seul principe : celui ou celle qui a causé des dommages devrait les rembourser (principe de responsabilité civile). Pour ce qui concerne les suites 'pénales' de l'affaire, je pense que les DP devraient se réunir et rendre une réponse collégiale. Ceci pose d'une manière plus générale la question de l'utilisation du bannissement : selon moi, sauf exception nécessitant une réponse urgente, la décision du ban et sa durée devrait être prise collégialement par l'ensemble des DP. 

* Murtha
If a person blew up a critical structure, like a CS or a public facility, then in my mind they are asking to be banned. In the cases i've seen where someone has been banned, they have done things in order to BE banned, they wanted it. But i think we ought to draft some very clear laws so that we do have direction, maybe define the restitutions etc. My thoughts of someone blowing up private structures is that the offender should be responsible for the mats needed to replace/rebuild.

* SpicyXX

* Twoshadows

It all depends on the actions of the person, blowing up something considerable and widely used such as public facilities is a bannable offence in my opinion. Unless the offender can replace eveything they create quickly, and if the acted in a malicious way then I believe they should be banned. Blowing up someone's compound as a little joke wouldnt be too bad as long as the offender replaced all mats needed and helped in construction then that would be considered ok as long as they are not a serial offender. However blowing up all of a certain person's buildings out of spite and then not helping would be bannable, it just is not acceptable behaviour.

Greetings to Egypt. I played all of Tale 1, and blipped in and out of Tales 2 and 3, (mostly out). I am fascinated by the community in Egypt and the extraordinary things that it can accomplish. I'd be honored to be a part of it, even in such a difficult role as DP.

My compound is in Queen's Retreat on the beach near the School of Architecture, where a great deal of my equipment is set for public use. I have been spending a lot of time on the Body tests so i am often not there, but feel free to use the stuff.

* Dreasimy

Hello Egypt! I’ve been playing since Tale 1. I love the community that ATITD manages to foster – I appreciate its openness and diversity. Egypt holds a special place in my heart also because at a wine tasting in Sinai in Tale 1, I met Ay for the first time and now we’ve been married (in real life) for over 4 years. My main hobbies in Egypt are Wine, Mines, the Test of theVenery, hosting a silly Microphone called GOO, and creating and running events.

'''Hello fellows Egyptians :)'''

I'm an old player (an old man too ?) from T1, I was here too in T2 and T3 so I have a lot of experience from the game, the main laws, the gameplay, the 'ethics' from the game. I'm french, living in Paris and I'm adult's trainer in health and safety at work : my last english lesson is far, very far, so be tolerant of my spelling and grammar, please :) 

'''Bonjour, citoyens égyptiens :)'''

Je suis un ancien joueur (et un vieil homme ?) de T1, j'étais là aussi dans T2 et T3, j'ai donc une grande expérience du jeu, des principales loi, du gameplay, de l'éthique du jeu. Je suis français et je vis à Paris, je suis formateur pour adultes en santé et sécurité au travail : ma dernière leçon d'anglais est loin, très loin, aussi je vous demande d'être tolérants avec mon orthographe et ma grammaire, s'il vous plait :) 

* Murtha

'''hello Egypt! I'm so sorry i couldn't be here today, unfortunantly my schedule won't permit it.'''

But, before I say anything, I'd like to send good thoughts and prayers to Spooner whom I've been informed is in the hospital. He is an amazing person and player and one of the reasons I love egypt!! We miss you Spoony!

Anyway, my intro - I'm a fairly long time player. I've seen the ups and downs of Egypt, rather like real life in that:) I'm a bit 'older', a retired psychologist and a mother of 10 awesome kids. Conflict has been a way of life for as you can tell. I try to interject humor in most everything, I find that to be a great diffuser if you can get folks to laugh at themselves. I'm really into the creativety of egypt as any of you who have visited my CP and sheep playground know.

As a side note, since i can't be here to answer general questions, please chat me with them or any question, concern,comment.

Hello Egyptians :) I am a former player from Tale 2, had to skip 3 due to financial and time constraints. I am probably one of the younger, if not the youngest, DP up for debate. I currently study maths at university and am just entering my second year now. I think I would be able to provide quite a lot of energy into the role, and time as my course is not too time intensive. I am from the United Kingdom so I am generally around during European times although I am around late at night, well evening for most of you, so I do also interact with American players quite a lot too.

'''Hello fellows Egyptians :)'''

I'm an old player (an old man too ?) from T1, I was here too in T2 and T3 so I have a lot of experience from the game, the main laws, the gameplay, the 'ethics' from the game. I'm french, living in Paris and I'm adult's trainer in health and safety at work : my last english lesson is far, very far, so be tolerant of my spelling and grammar, please :) 

'''Bonjour, citoyens égyptiens :)'''

Je suis un ancien joueur (et un vieil homme ?) de T1, j'étais là aussi dans T2 et T3, j'ai donc une grande expérience du jeu, des principales loi, du gameplay, de l'éthique du jeu. Je suis français et je vis à Paris, je suis formateur pour adultes en santé et sécurité au travail : ma dernière leçon d'anglais est loin, très loin, aussi je vous demande d'être tolérants avec mon orthographe et ma grammaire, s'il vous plait :)

'''hello Egypt! I'm so sorry i couldn't be here today, unfortunantly my schedule won't permit it.'''

But, before I say anything, I'd like to send good thoughts and prayers to Spooner whom I've been informed is in the hospital. He is an amazing person and player and one of the reasons I love egypt!! We miss you Spoony!

Anyway, my intro - I'm a fairly long time player. I've seen the ups and downs of Egypt, rather like real life in that:) I'm a bit 'older', a retired psychologist and a mother of 10 awesome kids. Conflict has been a way of life for as you can tell. I try to interject humor in most everything, I find that to be a great diffuser if you can get folks to laugh at themselves. I'm really into the creativety of egypt as any of you who have visited my CP and sheep playground know.

As a side note, since i can't be here to answer general questions, please chat me with them or any question, concern,comment.

Hello Egyptians :) I am a former player from Tale 2, had to skip 3 due to financial and time constraints. I am probably one of the younger, if not the youngest, DP up for debate. I currently study maths at university and am just entering my second year now. I think I would be able to provide quite a lot of energy into the role, and time as my course is not too time intensive. I am from the United Kingdom so I am generally around during European times although I am around late at night, well evening for most of you, so I do also interact with American players quite a lot too.

== Questions ==

===1. Please explain why you think Egypt should vote for you for DP===

I think this question can be merged with the number 4 : 'What do you believe the role of DP is ?' For this, as much as put myself in place of an Egyptian (yes, empathy is a necessary quality for a DP!). I don't want to be banned : candidates must give me a guarantee of fairness and balance to make sure do not ban me for nothing. Then, a DP can not be banished himself, except by using an heavy procedure : I must be sure that my candidate will not 'flipping out' and doing crazy things (it has already seen). Last, but not written anywhere, I am able to use the services of a DP as a mediator/negociator in conflict with another player/guld. This last task is the main job for a DP. 
My professionnal experience of course, but my past in the three previous tales speak for me : I think to gather these capabilities. 

Je pense que cette question peut-être fusionnée avec la 4 : 'quel est selon vous le rôle d'un DP ?' Pour cela, autant se mettre à la place d'un égyptien (oui, l'empathie est une qualité nécessaire pour un DP !). Je ne veux pas être banni : les candidats doivent me donner une garantie de leur équité et de leur équilibre afin d'être sûr de ne pas me faire bannir pour un rien. Ensuite, un DP ne peut pas être banni lui-même, sauf en utilisant une procédure lourde : je dois être sûr que mon candidat ne va pas 'péter les plombs' et faire des choses insensées (cela s'est déjà vu). Enfin, mais ce n'est écrit nulle part, je dois pouvoir utiliser les services d'un DP comme médiateur/négociateur lors d'un conflit avec
un autre joueur/guilde. Ce dernier point est le travail principal d'un DP. 
Mon expérience professionnelle bien sûr, mais aussi mon passé dans les trois précédents tales parlent pour moi : je pense réunir ces capacités. 

* Murtha
Well, my RL experiences of psychologist and mom of a herd stand me in good stead here. I have people from all over egypt chatting me for advice on how to handle one situation or another already, including sitting DPs. I think my biggest strength is being able to help folks find their own solutions, which is much more palatable. I also know when something is beyond me, and have never hesitated to ask for advice (just check with my early mentors). Those who know me , both here in and in RL, know that I am impartial, open and ready to listen to all sides.

* SpicyXX

* Twoshadows

I am very organised and good at planning which I believe is a key skill to be a DP as if your time is not managed correctly then you will be nowhere near as effective as you could be. I help run the weightlifting society at my university and am an Ex captain at my golf club so I am used to the pressures of having resposibility, having to organise things and dealing with people in a way that they feel like something is being done to help them and that I am on their side. I am friendly and am willing to help out anyone who needs it, I have a few things to learn myself I am sure. I am good at remaining impartial when making descisions, a vital attribute for a DP as there is no room for blinkered eyes if one of your friends is in the wrong in an argument.

===2. Please tell us what some of your accomplishments are this tale===

My playing style is inspired by two discipline : the human body and the worship. The human body for his appearance a bit individualist, the opportunity to surpass oneself, the patience, but also the cooperation between players. The worship for its social dimension, mutual aid and achieving a common task. These preferences are reflected in my style of play: first, I have a camp with my spouse, lilinou, we trying to provide alone with our basic needs to be independent : on the other hand, I participate at the life of the Egyptian community through my work as a translator, but also in my guilds, or the support that I bring to the research, according to my means, especially the development of roses of Ra. 
I do not feel the need to put myself forward, so I can give the impression of being 'absent' whatsoever on E!, or in the forums but I try to stay informed of the main events in Egyptian life ; I feel no need to proclaim my accomplishments everywhere or the help I can give to my fellow citizens, I am doing it for my pleasure. 

Mon style de jeu trouve son inspiration dans deux grandes disciplines : le corps humain et la vénération. Le corps humain pour son aspect un peu individualiste, la possibilité de se dépasser soi-même, la patience, mais aussi la coopération entre joueurs. La vénération pour sa dimension sociale, l'entraide et la réalisation d'un objectif commun. Ces préférences se retrouvent dans mon style de jeu : d'une part, j'ai un camp où, avec mon épouse lilinou, nous essayons de subvenir seuls à nos besoins essentiels afin d'être indépendants : d'autre part je participe à la vie de la communauté égyptienne à travers mon activité de traducteur, mais aussi dans mes guildes, ou encore l'aide que j'apporte à la recherche, en fonction de mes moyens, en particulier le développement des roses de Ra. 
Je ne ressens pas le besoin de me mettre en avant, c'est pourquoi je peux donner l'impression d'être 'absent' que ce soit sur E!, ou bien dans les forums mais j'essaie de rester informé des principaux événements de la vie égyptienne ;
je n'éprouve pas le besoin de clâmer partout mes réalisations ou encore l'aide que je peux apporter à mes concitoyens,
je le fais pour mon plaisir.

* Murtha
well, one of the things i'm proud of is helping to bring together 2 guilds that were suffering from misunderstandings and now they are working together to build an aqua line that so far has i believe 40 towers and has not run dry yet. Most of what I do is not in the limelight, helping people with beetles, giving advice and mentoring as much as I can.

* SpicyXX

* Twoshadows

In this tale I am trying to be as balanced as possible in my pursuit of tests, one from each at a time. One of my main achievemnets I believe is the speed in which I passed test of the acrobat, I set myself a goal of before I went on holiday, approximately 2 weeks away, and set about achieveing that goal. Finally on the night before I passed achieveing my goal but most of all meeting a lot of amazing people along the way and making some good friends too :) The majority of my time at the moment is spent in beetle breeding, 9 terraniums but planning to expand to 18, and glass making, something i find relaxing to do. All khefre's essence produced is donated to research, at the moment i produce 1 every 2-3 days which I find helps research along a lot :)

===3. Land disputes are the main cause of conflict this tale... how would you handle this? (example: someone builds an oven in someones camp, or a mine too close to someones cp)===

* Aku

* Dreasimy

* Dustitwister

* Ephemere
The concept of land's property does not exist in Egypt, there is no law that governs it, however there is a rule that prohibits building where someone has already built : the GM are the guardians of it. Before to call them, a DP may attempt to intervene, but his power is very thin and only his talents as a mediator may eventually resolve the conflict. 
La notion de propriété immobilière n'existe pas en Egypte, il n'y a pas de loi qui la régisse ; en revanche il existe une règle qui interdit de construire là où quelqu'un a déjà construit, les GM en sont les gardiens. Avant de faire appel à eux, un DP peut tenter d'intervenir mais son pouvoir est bien mince et seuls ses talents de médiateur pourront éventuellement résoudre le conflit. 

* Murtha
That is a toughie. Egypt doesn't have defined land ownership, so there are many things that are in grey areas. If something is obviously a case of not knowing, I help the offender with mats to move the offendindg structure. If it is a case of pure griefing, usually reasoning will not work, though i do try. The best a DP can do in that situation is try their best to effect a reasonable solution. If TOS has been violated, then the GMs can be called in.

* SpicyXX

* Twoshadows

I believe the main thing here is to find a solution to the problem that is acceptable to both parties, possibly the person with the grievance may be willing to allow the building to remain where it is for a certain percentage of the items produced. If this is not the case then I would help the builder move the offending building to a new and more acceptable place by gathering materials and aiding in construction anyway possible. Whilst the concept of ownership is not defined in any laws as of yet it is important to respect people's space and plans, by working with both parties I believe any disputes can be sorted out fairly and justly.

===4. What do you believe the role of DP is?===

* Aku
The role of the DP is to exist. Anyone with a dispute will know that should things escalate past a certain point that there is an entity within the game that can ban a character forcing the player to start over again. This should encourage players to work out their problems among themselves. Coming to a DP to settle an issue is a measure of last resort, because the only tool that the DP has is very blunt and doesn't generally even solve the problem, it just punishes someone.

* Dreasimy

* Dustitwister

* Ephemere
See my answer at number 1 / Je vous renvoie à ma réponse de la question 1 

* Murtha
A DP is basically an impartial third party observer, whose job it is to mediate and/or negotiate solutions to the problems players might have with each other. The role is NOT a policeman, or to force your views on others. I see it as a chance to help correct misunderstanding educate new players and help the stress and frustration we all feel, that sometimes gets the better of us.

* SpicyXX

* Twoshadows

A DP's role is to act as a judge for all of Egypt, people bring their problems to them and they hear all the evidence before dispensing a well considered verdict and possibke recriminations. A DP is also a community support officer, offering help to people that need it most and educating people in the ways of Egypt so that less disputes occur in the future.

===5. Explosives are about to come out... is this a bannable offense? Would YOU ban someone for this?===

* Aku

* Dreasimy

* Dustitwister

* Ephemere
Hmmm ... need I say it here ? That might go against me, but I was the Cathy's mentor in T1 ... Since, the time spent :) 
Back to the topic ... There is no typical situation, so there is no typical clue ; I retain only one principle : the one who caused the damage should pay (the principle of civil liability). Regarding the 'criminal's consequences' from the case, I think DP should get together and make a group answer. This raises a more general question of the use of the ban : I think, except a case requiring an urgent response, the decision of a ban and its duration should be taken collectively by all the DP. 

Hmmm ... dois-je le dire ici ? Cela ne me rendra pas forcemment service, mais j'étais le mentor de Cathy dans T1 ...
Depuis le temps a passé :) 
Revenons au sujet ... Il n'y a pas de situation type, il ne peut donc y avoir de solution type ; je ne retiens qu'un seul principe : celui ou celle qui a causé des dommages devrait les rembourser (principe de responsabilité civile). Pour ce qui concerne les suites 'pénales' de l'affaire, je pense que les DP devraient se réunir et rendre une réponse collégiale. Ceci pose d'une manière plus générale la question de l'utilisation du bannissement : selon moi, sauf exception nécessitant une réponse urgente, la décision du ban et sa durée devrait être prise collégialement par l'ensemble des DP. 

* Murtha
If a person blew up a critical structure, like a CS or a public facility, then in my mind they are asking to be banned. In the cases i've seen where someone has been banned, they have done things in order to BE banned, they wanted it. But i think we ought to draft some very clear laws so that we do have direction, maybe define the restitutions etc. My thoughts of someone blowing up private structures is that the offender should be responsible for the mats needed to replace/rebuild.

* SpicyXX

* Twoshadows

It all depends on the actions of the person, blowing up something considerable and widely used such as public facilities is a bannable offence in my opinion. Unless the offender can replace eveything they create quickly, and if the acted in a malicious way then I believe they should be banned. Blowing up someone's compound as a little joke wouldnt be too bad as long as the offender replaced all mats needed and helped in construction then that would be considered ok as long as they are not a serial offender. However blowing up all of a certain person's buildings out of spite and then not helping would be bannable, it just is not acceptable behaviour.

Greetings to Egypt. I played all of Tale 1, and blipped in and out of Tales 2 and 3, (mostly out). I am fascinated by the community in Egypt and the extraordinary things that it can accomplish. I'd be honored to be a part of it, even in such a difficult role as DP.

My compound is in Queen's Retreat on the beach near the School of Architecture, where a great deal of my equipment is set for public use. I have been spending a lot of time on the Body tests so i am often not there, but feel free to use the stuff.

* Dreasimy

Hello Egypt! I’ve been playing since Tale 1. I love the community that ATITD manages to foster – I appreciate its openness and diversity. Egypt holds a special place in my heart also because at a wine tasting in Sinai in Tale 1, I met Ay for the first time and now we’ve been married (in real life) for over 4 years. My main hobbies in Egypt are Wine, Mines, the Test of theVenery, hosting a silly Microphone called GOO, and creating and running events.

My main hobbies in Egypt are Wine, Mines, the Test of theVenery, hosting a silly Microphone called GOO, and creating and running events.

'''Hello fellows Egyptians :)'''

I'm an old player (an old man too ?) from T1, I was here too in T2 and T3 so I have a lot of experience from the game, the main laws, the gameplay, the 'ethics' from the game. I'm french, living in Paris and I'm adult's trainer in health and safety at work : my last english lesson is far, very far, so be tolerant of my spelling and grammar, please :) 

'''Bonjour, citoyens égyptiens :)'''

Je suis un ancien joueur (et un vieil homme ?) de T1, j'étais là aussi dans T2 et T3, j'ai donc une grande expérience du jeu, des principales loi, du gameplay, de l'éthique du jeu. Je suis français et je vis à Paris, je suis formateur pour adultes en santé et sécurité au travail : ma dernière leçon d'anglais est loin, très loin, aussi je vous demande d'être tolérants avec mon orthographe et ma grammaire, s'il vous plait :)

'''hello Egypt! I'm so sorry i couldn't be here today, unfortunantly my schedule won't permit it.'''

But, before I say anything, I'd like to send good thoughts and prayers to Spooner whom I've been informed is in the hospital. He is an amazing person and player and one of the reasons I love egypt!! We miss you Spoony!

Anyway, my intro - I'm a fairly long time player. I've seen the ups and downs of Egypt, rather like real life in that:) I'm a bit 'older', a retired psychologist and a mother of 10 awesome kids. Conflict has been a way of life for as you can tell. I try to interject humor in most everything, I find that to be a great diffuser if you can get folks to laugh at themselves. I'm really into the creativety of egypt as any of you who have visited my CP and sheep playground know.

As a side note, since i can't be here to answer general questions, please chat me with them or any question, concern,comment.

Hello Egyptians :) I am a former player from Tale 2, had to skip 3 due to financial and time constraints. I am probably one of the younger, if not the youngest, DP up for debate. I currently study maths at university and am just entering my second year now. I think I would be able to provide quite a lot of energy into the role, and time as my course is not too time intensive. I am from the United Kingdom so I am generally around during European times although I am around late at night, well evening for most of you, so I do also interact with American players quite a lot too.

== Questions ==

1. Please explain why you think Egypt should vote for you for DP

* Aku

* Dreasimy

* Ephemere
I think this question can be merged with the number 4 : 'What do you believe the role of DP is ?' For this, as much as put myself in place of an Egyptian (yes, empathy is a necessary quality for a DP!). I don't want to be banned : candidates must give me a guarantee of fairness and balance to make sure do not ban me for nothing. Then, a DP can not be banished himself, except by using an heavy procedure : I must be sure that my candidate will not 'flipping out' and doing crazy things (it has already seen). Last, but not written anywhere, I am able to use the services of a DP as a mediator/negociator in conflict with another player/guld. This last task is the main job for a DP. 
My professionnal experience of course, but my past in the three previous tales speak for me : I think to gather these capabilities. 

Je pense que cette question peut-être fusionnée avec la 4 : 'quel est selon vous le rôle d'un DP ?' Pour cela, autant se mettre à la place d'un égyptien (oui, l'empathie est une qualité nécessaire pour un DP !). Je ne veux pas être banni : les candidats doivent me donner une garantie de leur équité et de leur équilibre afin d'être sûr de ne pas me faire bannir pour un rien. Ensuite, un DP ne peut pas être banni lui-même, sauf en utilisant une procédure lourde : je dois être sûr que mon candidat ne va pas 'péter les plombs' et faire des choses insensées (cela s'est déjà vu). Enfin, mais ce n'est écrit nulle part, je dois pouvoir utiliser les services d'un DP comme médiateur/négociateur lors d'un conflit avec
un autre joueur/guilde. Ce dernier point est le travail principal d'un DP. 
Mon expérience professionnelle bien sûr, mais aussi mon passé dans les trois précédents tales parlent pour moi : je pense réunir ces capacités. 

* Murtha
Well, my RL experiences of psychologist and mom of a herd stand me in good stead here. I have people from all over egypt chatting me for advice on how to handle one situation or another already, including sitting DPs. I think my biggest strength is being able to help folks find their own solutions, which is much more palatable. I also know when something is beyond me, and have never hesitated to ask for advice (just check with my early mentors). Those who know me , both here in and in RL, know that I am impartial, open and ready to listen to all sides.

* SpicyXX

* Twoshadows

I am very organised and good at planning which I believe is a key skill to be a DP as if your time is not managed correctly then you will be nowhere near as effective as you could be. I help run the weightlifting society at my university and am an Ex captain at my golf club so I am used to the pressures of having resposibility, having to organise things and dealing with people in a way that they feel like something is being done to help them and that I am on their side. I am friendly and am willing to help out anyone who needs it, I have a few things to learn myself I am sure. I am good at remaining impartial when making descisions, a vital attribute for a DP as there is no room for blinkered eyes if one of your friends is in the wrong in an argument.

2. Please tell us what some of your accomplishments are this tale

* Aku

* Dreasimy

* Dustitwister

* Ephemere
My playing style is inspired by two discipline : the human body and the worship. The human body for his appearance a bit individualist, the opportunity to surpass oneself, the patience, but also the cooperation between players. The worship for its social dimension, mutual aid and achieving a common task. These preferences are reflected in my style of play: first, I have a camp with my spouse, lilinou, we trying to provide alone with our basic needs to be independent : on the other hand, I participate at the life of the Egyptian community through my work as a translator, but also in my guilds, or the support that I bring to the research, according to my means, especially the development of roses of Ra. 
I do not feel the need to put myself forward, so I can give the impression of being 'absent' whatsoever on E!, or in the forums but I try to stay informed of the main events in Egyptian life ; I feel no need to proclaim my accomplishments everywhere or the help I can give to my fellow citizens, I am doing it for my pleasure. 

Mon style de jeu trouve son inspiration dans deux grandes disciplines : le corps humain et la vénération. Le corps humain pour son aspect un peu individualiste, la possibilité de se dépasser soi-même, la patience, mais aussi la coopération entre joueurs. La vénération pour sa dimension sociale, l'entraide et la réalisation d'un objectif commun. Ces préférences se retrouvent dans mon style de jeu : d'une part, j'ai un camp où, avec mon épouse lilinou, nous essayons de subvenir seuls à nos besoins essentiels afin d'être indépendants : d'autre part je participe à la vie de la communauté égyptienne à travers mon activité de traducteur, mais aussi dans mes guildes, ou encore l'aide que j'apporte à la recherche, en fonction de mes moyens, en particulier le développement des roses de Ra. 
Je ne ressens pas le besoin de me mettre en avant, c'est pourquoi je peux donner l'impression d'être 'absent' que ce soit sur E!, ou bien dans les forums mais j'essaie de rester informé des principaux événements de la vie égyptienne ;
je n'éprouve pas le besoin de clâmer partout mes réalisations ou encore l'aide que je peux apporter à mes concitoyens,
je le fais pour mon plaisir.

* Murtha
well, one of the things i'm proud of is helping to bring together 2 guilds that were suffering from misunderstandings and now they are working together to build an aqua line that so far has i believe 40 towers and has not run dry yet. Most of what I do is not in the limelight, helping people with beetles, giving advice and mentoring as much as I can.

* SpicyXX

* Twoshadows

In this tale I am trying to be as balanced as possible in my pursuit of tests, one from each at a time. One of my main achievemnets I believe is the speed in which I passed test of the acrobat, I set myself a goal of before I went on holiday, approximately 2 weeks away, and set about achieveing that goal. Finally on the night before I passed achieveing my goal but most of all meeting a lot of amazing people along the way and making some good friends too :) The majority of my time at the moment is spent in beetle breeding, 9 terraniums but planning to expand to 18, and glass making, something i find relaxing to do. All khefre's essence produced is donated to research, at the moment i produce 1 every 2-3 days which I find helps research along a lot :)

3. Land disputes are the main cause of conflict this tale... how would you handle this? (example: someone builds an oven in someones camp, or a mine too close to someones cp)

* Aku

* Dreasimy

* Dustitwister

* Ephemere
The concept of land's property does not exist in Egypt, there is no law that governs it, however there is a rule that prohibits building where someone has already built : the GM are the guardians of it. Before to call them, a DP may attempt to intervene, but his power is very thin and only his talents as a mediator may eventually resolve the conflict. 
La notion de propriété immobilière n'existe pas en Egypte, il n'y a pas de loi qui la régisse ; en revanche il existe une règle qui interdit de construire là où quelqu'un a déjà construit, les GM en sont les gardiens. Avant de faire appel à eux, un DP peut tenter d'intervenir mais son pouvoir est bien mince et seuls ses talents de médiateur pourront éventuellement résoudre le conflit. 

* Murtha
That is a toughie. Egypt doesn't have defined land ownership, so there are many things that are in grey areas. If something is obviously a case of not knowing, I help the offender with mats to move the offendindg structure. If it is a case of pure griefing, usually reasoning will not work, though i do try. The best a DP can do in that situation is try their best to effect a reasonable solution. If TOS has been violated, then the GMs can be called in.

* SpicyXX

* Twoshadows

I believe the main thing here is to find a solution to the problem that is acceptable to both parties, possibly the person with the grievance may be willing to allow the building to remain where it is for a certain percentage of the items produced. If this is not the case then I would help the builder move the offending building to a new and more acceptable place by gathering materials and aiding in construction anyway possible. Whilst the concept of ownership is not defined in any laws as of yet it is important to respect people's space and plans, by working with both parties I believe any disputes can be sorted out fairly and justly.

4. What do you believe the role of DP is?

* Aku

* Dreasimy

* Dustitwister

* Ephemere
See my answer at number 1 / Je vous renvoie à ma réponse de la question 1 

* Murtha
A DP is basically an impartial third party observer, whose job it is to mediate and/or negotiate solutions to the problems players might have with each other. The role is NOT a policeman, or to force your views on others. I see it as a chance to help correct misunderstanding educate new players and help the stress and frustration we all feel, that sometimes gets the better of us.

* SpicyXX

* Twoshadows

A DP's role is to act as a judge for all of Egypt, people bring their problems to them and they hear all the evidence before dispensing a well considered verdict and possibke recriminations. A DP is also a community support officer, offering help to people that need it most and educating people in the ways of Egypt so that less disputes occur in the future.

5. Explosives are about to come out... is this a bannable offense? Would YOU ban someone for this?

* Aku

* Dreasimy

* Dustitwister

* Ephemere
Hmmm ... need I say it here ? That might go against me, but I was the Cathy's mentor in T1 ... Since, the time spent :) 
Back to the topic ... There is no typical situation, so there is no typical clue ; I retain only one principle : the one who caused the damage should pay (the principle of civil liability). Regarding the 'criminal's consequences' from the case, I think DP should get together and make a group answer. This raises a more general question of the use of the ban : I think, except a case requiring an urgent response, the decision of a ban and its duration should be taken collectively by all the DP. 

Hmmm ... dois-je le dire ici ? Cela ne me rendra pas forcemment service, mais j'étais le mentor de Cathy dans T1 ...
Depuis le temps a passé :) 
Revenons au sujet ... Il n'y a pas de situation type, il ne peut donc y avoir de solution type ; je ne retiens qu'un seul principe : celui ou celle qui a causé des dommages devrait les rembourser (principe de responsabilité civile). Pour ce qui concerne les suites 'pénales' de l'affaire, je pense que les DP devraient se réunir et rendre une réponse collégiale. Ceci pose d'une manière plus générale la question de l'utilisation du bannissement : selon moi, sauf exception nécessitant une réponse urgente, la décision du ban et sa durée devrait être prise collégialement par l'ensemble des DP. 

* Murtha
If a person blew up a critical structure, like a CS or a public facility, then in my mind they are asking to be banned. In the cases i've seen where someone has been banned, they have done things in order to BE banned, they wanted it. But i think we ought to draft some very clear laws so that we do have direction, maybe define the restitutions etc. My thoughts of someone blowing up private structures is that the offender should be responsible for the mats needed to replace/rebuild.

* SpicyXX

* Twoshadows

It all depends on the actions of the person, blowing up something considerable and widely used such as public facilities is a bannable offence in my opinion. Unless the offender can replace eveything they create quickly, and if the acted in a malicious way then I believe they should be banned. Blowing up someone's compound as a little joke wouldnt be too bad as long as the offender replaced all mats needed and helped in construction then that would be considered ok as long as they are not a serial offender. However blowing up all of a certain person's buildings out of spite and then not helping would be bannable, it just is not acceptable behaviour.

Aku: /* Year 2, Shemu IV-15 */

==Home==
My home is in Queen's Refuge at 499, -6205. I've joined Mixed Nuts, the Queen's Refuge public works guild so it looks like i'll be hanging around for the time being. Much of the equipment in my compound is public.

==Current Projects==
Having the attention span of a mayfly has its disadvantages, but a short "to do" list is not one of them.

===Blacksmithing===
I am currently questing after the 8K shovel and hatchet. I can pretty reliably make a 7.5K one of each (and if anyone wants one send me a tell in-game and we can haggle about price) but once i get there the screwing around i do just makes it worse. Of course i've only been practicing for a day so i am quite hopeful.

Then, of course, i'll start questing for 9K...

Resin wedges, on the other hand, are weird, or at least different enough from the other two that my threashholds seem to be 1K lower.

===Mentoring===
I've been back to Welcome Island several times. I've even helped some people. :-) One or two pledged me a Mentor point but so far no one has actually registered any. Oh, well. It's disappointing but that isn't really why i like Mentoring.

===General Metalworking===
I'm slowly building up the stock to build a blast furnace and reactory of my own. To that end i've been trading with The Goods, a fine institution that i can't recommend highly enough. (Though the new "donation phase" thing is a bit off-putting; i don't see anyone who's not a member of The Goods donating a large gear for free, but perhaps i'm being uncharitable.) I've gotten the concrete and topaz, and will be trading for some tin to try to make steel in the Guild reactory so that i can make the sheeting.

I've become familiar with the reactory and have gotten 100% on steel, brass, bronze, and Moon Steel. It takes me about 6 tries to get a useable amount of metal.

===Skills I am sorta working on===
*Salvage Techniques 4 - my water mine is slowly generating cuttables.

===Social Things===
I'm trying to pay attention to things like digs, acro, and other activties that can only be done with crowds. I'm not entirely succeeding...

==Water Mine Data==
22 degrees, one full winding, 3 Amethysts, 2 Citrine, 1 Jade, 1 Sunstone, 1 Turquoise, 1 Small Quartz, 1 Medium Quartz, 1 Medium Ruby

Since then i've had better luck at 20 or 21 degrees.

==My Semi-Blog==
I'll put my observations here when i am moved to record them, which won't be regularly.

==='''Year 1, Shemu II-24'''===
I've made a lot of progress on my gyration cell. The Moon Steel turned out to be less troublesome than i had planned for, and in fact i've got all 50 smelted. I should be able to get the cement i'll need from The Goods if i can't find it locally. The gravel will be a nuisance as i've run out of Medium Stones. Mostly what's left is mining a huge pile of copper and tin to make the sheeting and then making the sheeting. I may have to put pinch rollers in my second Student Forge to speed up the process.
==='''Year 1 Shemu II-28'''===
I got my second Navigation point for 20 glass rods. I'll set it at the mining compound which i will build next to the guild one. Then i can start mining copper in earnest. I've found an existing gyration cell that i can borrow which will speed things up immensely.
==='''Year 1 Shemu III-10'''===
I finished mining and smelting the copper i neeed for the sheets. Now i just have to forge them. I may have to invest in two more pinch rollers to upgrade another student forge for sheets but that means more mining.

I spent a couple of hours on Welcome Island. Hardly anyone responded to my offer of help though i did have a lively exchange with one fellow who should do fine and a rather odd exchange with another, the second person being unable to understand that i was an experienced player who was chosing to help out newcomers. ("Why r u here?") Overall it was satisfying, but i'm not pushy enough to translate any of it into Mentor points. There is a fuzzy line between helping out a newcomer and being bossy. I err firmly on the offer-only-when-asked side. I'm also "only" on for an hour or two a day at most, so i'm not an ideal candidate for a Mentor. So it goes.

Level 12 continues to elude me. I'll have to investigate Towers again, and start putting myself forward for the Worship init. Acrobatics is progressing slowly but surely and will continue that way since i don't have the fortitude to hang around for one of the massive Acro lines. I like the "acro blobs" better, and they happen periodically around the QR chariot stop, which i can see from my compound.
==='''Year 1 Shemu III-14'''===
I had a run-in with server lag. I was tending my firepit when everything froze for several seconds. When it unlocked i poked the fire but it was too late and the fire went out. It had been burning less than five minutes so in spite of having a full load of papyrus, flax, and leeks i got 12 ash. I was moderately bummed out.

To console myself i set up for a second firepit run, growing 300 flax with some 2/2/2 seeds (which have already been surpassed) and making a papyrus run. During the run i bumped into my friend SamAdams, who helped gather my papyrus, so i stayed around and helped him gather his. He then let me into a small guild he's in which was great because they have a bunch of the cool buildings (including the gyration cell i've been borrowing). I immediately made 600 charcoal in their charcoal oven, in spite of the continued lag. (I did have to abandon my efforts to run the charcoal hearth at the same time.)

This failure to advance in levels is getting to be a problem. I was reviewing my progress on my personal gyration cell and realized that i can't even build it myself until i hit Level 13 because i need Metallurgy III. I think i'm going to have to stifle my urge to own the high-tech production buildings and spend some time leveling. With that in mind i put my name on the Metallic Obelisk queue at size 22. I've got two weeks to come up with the materials. The only one that looks hard is the mirror (assuming size 22 still needs only one; i haven't checked the exact requirements yet). The rest i can either make myself or purchase at The Goods without too much trouble. I wonder if i can get my Sheet Glass skill to 7 in two weeks?
==='''Year 1 Shemu III-16'''===
Yesterday was a good day.

I made excellent progress in collecting materials for my hypothetical Metallic Obelisk. I loaded up my Normal Glass furnace with a full 50 units of melted glass and started making glass sheets. It certainly started out grimly. I cracked the first seven sheets i attempted, though in the process i rose to skill 4. Then i succeeded once, and cracked another. By the time i had made 30 attempts i had 18 sheets of glass, having cracked 11 and lost one to over-fueling my bench. I was quite pleased. I hadn't known how many sheets i would have to crack for each skill level, but i hadn't expected to get to skill 6 in one session. I imagine that last level will be quite tedious to achieve, but it looks like it's doable in my time frame.

On the subject of the glazier's bench i have discovered, or reasoned out, a small refinement to the published technique. I have noticed that the later in the ten-tick heating cycle one adds additional fuel the smaller the spike. By watching the item timer tick down (especially easy with sheet glass) i am able to add 2 charcoal during the tenth tick, just before the temperature drops. This results in a spike of about 150 degrees in addition to the normal heat increase. This means that i can run the bench constantly without periodically stopping production to spike and cool it. (My bench is +56, -135.)

I traded the glass sheets with The Goods for strontium, platinum, and iron and still had a good deal of credit left over. If worse comes to worst i should be able to buy one of the mirrors.

I checked the material requirements for a 22-cubit Metallic Obelisk and it does in fact need 2 mirrors which is unfortunate but not unexpected. The materials i don't have are easy for me to produce myself so assuming i can take care of the mirrors and that no queue war erupts i'm in good shape for the Obelisk Test.
==='''Year 1 Shemu III-21'''===
Yay! One of my Prophecies came true. I am now Level 12. I signed up for Safari.

In other news i did another run of 30 attempted glass sheets. I cracked 4, fried one, and ended up with 25. Sadly my skill is still 6/7, but hopefully i'm that much closer to mirrors. I ran the firepit and poked it for a half-hour, only to discover that i had forgotten to put in the limestone. So i got 70 ash, which was nice, but no lime at all which is unfortunate because i actually have plenty of ash and needed the lime. Sigh.
==='''Year 1 Shemu III-22'''===
You can't do anything without doing something else first.

I planned to do some frog/rat/otter hunting today but first had promised to make some carpentry blades for the Queen of Denial guild. I loaded up the anvil and proceeded, using the excellent guides that have been published elsewhere (see the [[Blacksmithing_Guide |Blacksmithing Guide]] and check the references at the bottom of that page.) The "eight hits across the front" with the force 8 Shaping Mallet take some practice, as there are more than 8 nodes across the front edge, but it turns out to only matter a little. I've also added a refinement where i use the Shaping Mallet at force 5 to depress the area behind the edge around the V-shaped notch in the back before starting in on the directions in the guide. The results after following the guide are worse than just doing the guide, but i've been able to clean it up to 7.5K with about fifty more hits, where i could never clean up the guide blade to more than about 7.2K. I ended up with five in the 7.2K range and one 7.5K blade (the last one.)

Running back from QoD to my compound i found a flock of sheep, and being perennially short of leather i grabbed one. I then went in search of a public sheep pen and failed to find one. So i built one to the west of the School of Architecture near the road. I had to dry some rotten flax, and since i was carrying a sheep i couldn't carry more than 200 bricks so i had to make 7 trips back and forth to my compound but it was close enough that it was only annoying. Then i made the pen public, slaughtered my sheep and stored the products.

Time to head out. But on my way to the chariot stop someone announced that they needed witnesses for their wedding. I'm a sucker for that kind of thing besides considering it an obligation of sorts since my compound is in sight of the altar (that is, when people gather at that altar for a wedding i can see the names when i'm standing in my compound.) On the way to the wedding i noticed an intriguing Pathfinder which i poked at while waiting for the crowd to assemble. Someone brought a hookah to the wedding and i got my first point (rhubarb). Then we had the wedding, which took four tries.

Then i got booted from the computer so that my kid could do homework. Ah well, there's always later.
==='''Shemu III-27'''===
I've been in the desert for a couple of days now hunting various critters. I'm going to be a little vague in the descriptions since i don't want to give away any locations. Anyway, i've not seen any rats or otters but did come across an interesting situation with regard to cicadas. I found a spot that had multiple cages and after picking bugs from all of them i decided to try to break the cluster up a little. My first attempt moved all the cages instead of just one and to my surprise there were now more cages visible. It appears that it is possible for cages to be exactly on top of each other, something i hadn't known.

Yikes! Someone dropped out of the Metallic Obelisk queue, so i have four days less than i had planned to come up with two mirrors. I think i'm going to have to cut my rat-hunting expedition short.

==='''Shemu IV-2'''===
I'm still hunting in the desert. I haven't found any rats or otters but did locate a couple of frogs. They seem pretty straightforward and should be my ticket to a strength point.
==='''Shemu IV-7'''===
I'm back from my desert roaming. I found a lot of bugs so that part went well. On the other hand i didn't see any rats or otters. I refurbished a couple of my remote outposts but wasn't able to do anything with the one in the NE corner of the map due to an unremembered complete lack of grass in the area. I'll have to bring some supplies the next time i head that way.

My Sheet Glass skill is now at 7, which happened on the third sheet of my glass run. I had burned and boiled enough supplies to stock the glazier's bench up to 50 glass, so hitting my goal on the third try was somewhat anti-climactic. Still, i can't really complain (or can i? :-).

I let everything cool and pulled the two intact sheets, then headed for The Goods. I got some leather to contribute toward a guild Barrel Grinder, either for construction or operation, and a batch of cement and some Medium Stones to make into concrete. Silver Powder is still hideously expensive (at least to buy 200 debens) and someone has slurped up the last mirror so i don't have the option of paying a lot of Goodscript for one. Hopefully the Barrel Grinder will be completed soon. I still have two weeks before my turn in the Obelisk queue comes up.

I made a sledgehammer and attacked one of the Medium Stones. It's just as annoying as i remember it being. I did my experiment between two hills to see if gravity played any role in the process but it doesn't seem to, that is, the ejecta scooted indifferently up and down slopes for the same distance. This is one of those activities which is possible to solo but which goes much quicker with help. I like activities with that quality since i'm not able to play regularly for hours at a time, so group activities are hard to schedule.
==='''Shemu IV-14'''===
Busy, busy, busy.

I haven't found any more frogs, but did find an otter and an ibis, so i got my first strength point. Whee! I celebrated by loading up with silt on my way back to camp from the ibis. This will make a lot of things easier. I'm going to enjoy it, i'm sure.

While out exploring i found a Mixed Nuts mining compound that had degenerated to 0%. I spent the time to repair it but couldn't do anything for the equipment inside; Compression Furnaces seem to be resistant to my Structure Repair 2 skill, and i just built a new Hackling Rake rather than try to repair the one in the compound.

When i got back i pitched in for at Mixed Nuts project to build a Barrel Grinder. The only thing that's left is the 120 bearings, so i'm making half the bronze. So far i've got 99 done, including 2 perfect runs. On the other hand i ran out of Fern Palm resin and had to dash out and get more, but fortunately it's pretty common. I hope to finish the last of the bronze tonight, and then i'll fire up the Master Casting Box and make some bearings.
==='''Shemu IV-16'''===
I finished up my share of the bronze for bearings, using up the last of my copper to do so. I fired up the MCB and started cranking out batches of 10 bearings. While i was doing that other-person-in-the-guild-whose-name-i-am-totally-blanking-on finished up the rest of the bronze (and then some; he was on a roll) and took over the MCB. The barrel grinder is now finished. Now i just need to <del>bully</del> sweet talk a grinding party into existence.

I made a tech run to Saqquarah. I feel somewhat guilty doing so, but it's part of how the game works. I picked up papermaking and gem cutting, so now i have an opportunity to blow more of my resources building things that will be time sinks. Heh. Welcome to Egypt. I also got my pyramid construction skill up to 7, so should a general madness overtake Egypt it would be possible for me to become an Oracle. It's nice to set goals that are beyond one's reach.

As long as i was in the neighborhood i picked up 95 white sand (yay STR 1!). While carting it around (perhaps that was why i never caught the gazelle, see below) it occurred to me that the only sensible place to make Fine Glass products is within short walking distance of a white sand patch, at least until one gets at least STR 3 and could conceivably carry (with peppers) 3000 debens, or enough for one run of the glazier's oven.

I saw a gazelle today. They are cute but annoying. I put a call out on E! but there were no takers, so i chased it around a bit and then went home.

I've changed the format of my semi-blog, as it was getting to be too much of a nuisance to scroll down through the whole thing. I'm lazy. So sue me. :-)

==='''Shemu IV-19'''===
Finally got Cooking 1. I borrowed some carrot seeds from Queen of Denial and grew the veggies. It was nice that, with STR 1 and DEX 3 I could just waltz them over to the school instead of dumping my usual tools first. Stat boosts are fun!
==='''Akhet I-7'''===
It's been awhile. I've got 2 strength points now, which is very nice. I built my first tower and got 4% of Egypt. I've also gotten a macro to work for the first time in 4 Tellings and while it was very convenient and did a much better job than i could (it is a mining macro) i still felt vaguely cheap somehow. Not cheap enough to stop doing it, mind you, just mildly uncomfortable.

I also came face-to-face with a reality that's been percolating in the back of my head for awhile but which came into sharp focus when a guildmate mentioned that he had nineteen cicada cages out and working. There is no way in hell that i would ever spend the time necessary to accomplish this. So, the reality is that Egypt really is not for the casual player. I like to do different things but this means by definition that i will never excel in any of them, because there is someone in the game who is specializing in whatever it is.

What i'm finding is that this leaves me completely unmotivated to participate in the large-scale aspects of the game. As a "good citizen" of Egypt i should spend time judging statues, solving puzzles, and watching events, but the way i figure it the seven (or 12 or 21) people who really care should just get together and pass each other and let the rest of us get on with whatever insignificant piddly tasks amuse us. The material costs for the test buildings are enormous, and the costs for the building to make the materials for the test buildings are pretty large as well. It takes me a long time to put that much effort together. I understand that that's the way the game is designed and that i'm here by choice. Fine. But what i'm finding is that i can amuse myself without paying any attention to what passes for the plot of this Telling.

That's not to say i'm anti-social. If a guildmate asked for help collecting resources or putting things together i'd be there. But doing something For The Good of Egypt? Meh. I'm also not belittling in any way the efforts of the people who chose to put in the time. They're working hard, and they're reaping the rewards. That seems fair enough to me. In many cases (the Veggie Pyramids come to mind) i reap some benefits as well. Do i feel a little guilty? Perhaps. But that's part of the game, too. And i'm showing my approval in the only way that Teppy cares about: i'm paying my subscription fee. So the only two people who really matter are satisfied.
==='''Akhet I-11'''===
My gyration cell is done! I spent an hour and a half finishing up the tin sheets and glass tubes. I threw in 1500 copper ore i'd extracted from my copper mine and then went to one of the Mixed Nuts iron mines. The wiki page said it was level 4 and fixed but it was actually level 8 and fixed. Unfortunately it collapsed after 4 pulls and i felt compelled to fix it, so i did. I then pulled almost 1600 ore out and threw that in the gyration cell. Sweet. :-)
==='''Akhet I-30'''===
I've found a bunch of critters and now have as much strength as i have dexterity (3). Running around in the desert isn't very interesting so i look for bodies of water and do some herb gathering. I've found two more bugs in the process. I really should get a rabbit from someone and pitch it and make a fennec cage to claim the level but just haven't gotten around to it.

I'm coming to the head of the Metallic Obelisk queue in QR. The person two people ahead of me hasn't been logged on in over a week so the person immediately ahead of me has built. When she passes, and if the person ahead of me still hasn't been seen i'll put up my obelisk. If she shows up and is ready to build she'll go next. In either case i should pass my first actual test some time in the next two weeks.

I made a scent lab and started playing with it, only to find out that it will take a lot of research to get anything useful out of it. I managed to drive my first batch of incense to quality zero. My second batch had a high value of over 160 but i dragged it down with further experimenting. It looks like there are 42 different initial tendencies for the incense, one positive and one negative. Each one corresponds to one of the stat skills. Then there is a scent; i've had pine and something else (i've misplaced my notebook). There is some research elsewhere in the wiki but since the effects are both ephemeral and minor it isn't very worthwhile to pursue. I'll do it anyway but it will be slow.
==='''Akhet II-10'''===
My Metallic Obelisk is built and ticking away.

I got another Acrobatic move and am now at dexterity 4. I've found my last frog and an ibis and (whatever else i may have written above) i need one more animal to get to strength 4. I guess i'm going to have to start buckling down and go after my eagles and fennecs.

I participated in a heptathalon, which is a one-RL-hour timed contest in which one picks grass, picks slate, gathers silt, fishes, gathers wood, grows flax, and grows veggies. (Hmm, i thought gathering clay was in there too. I'll have to check when i log in next.) I ended up with 142 points out of a possible 700, but i think the winner only got about 250 so it wasn't that bad. I did mostly slate and grass, with some fish and silt, and a token amount of wood that didn't score me any points but did qualify me as having attempted that contest so i got another steel for my effort.

I finally made myself a hatchet and a shovel out of iron. The former came out ok at 7741. The shovel is a little better at 8145. Now i want to find a dig somewhere to try it out.

==='''Akhet II-15'''===
My obelisk is still chugging along.

I decided that i wanted a brick machine because i thought (mistakenly, as it turns out) that it would allow me to make clay bricks. (Because what i ''really'' want is a charcoal oven, but of course before one can do anything one must do something else first.) It took me all evening, but i reacted the bronze (80) and brass (8) that i'd need, then cast it into 80 bearing along with the 4 small gears and 2 medium gears. For no particular reason i fired up the Master's Forge and made an extrusion plate, and as long as it was hot i made 4 lead chisels. I put the extrusion plate in my improved Student Forge, fired ''it'' up, made the 4 sheets of copper and then spent the rest of the time making copper wire.

Imagine my disappointment when, after putting clay and sand into the contraption, i tried to start making wet clay bricks. That's what i get for not checking more carefully. However all is not lost. I figure i can get one of my neighbors to start the machine for me after i load it up, since they undoubtedly have learned Masonry along the way.

I managed to make some low-grade +end -str incense (that is, when i stuck the sap in it was already above 167 in quality). I also determined that the buff stacks by eating a grilled onion and then sniffing the incense. Lo and behold, my END was 3 instead of 0. It's not all that useful as the effects lasted less than 5 minutes and the stick of incense burned about the same length of time, but what the heck. (Oh, my strength went down by one, but since i am a MIGHTY SAFARIAN it was still 2. :-)

So i'll start accumulating wet clay bricks (i should have 600 over with Sam and Bessie) and then i'll start putting together my first charcoal oven.
==='''Akhet III-25'''===
It's been awhile. Much has happened, yet much is the same. I haven't achieved another level, but i have expanded my compound and built some new buildings. I've also been solving a lot of puzzles. As usual i haven't been able to excel at anything because my interests are too wide, but i'm resigned to not passing the tests. I've made several bug-hunting trips but i clearly don't think like the majority of the cicada crowd because i'm not finding any bugs, let alone the scores of bugs that those who are doing well find. Conversely, the cages i put out only last a couple of days. Perhaps i'm looking where *everyone* is looking.

I was finally on-line at the same time as my uphill neighbor and i was able to hire him to fire 1200 wet clay bricks for me. I can't do them myself since i don't have Masonry. I paid him 12 cuttable stone for firing the 1200 bricks, and we both went home happy. Now i have two charcoal ovens, which should keep me rolling in charcoal for the rest of the Telling. (Lag willing.)

I also made a rabbit hutch (with a clay dome purchased from The Goods: i love those guys) so that i can grow rabbits so that i can hunt eagles so that i can get a few more Strength points and possibly even pass Safari. Eventually. I want to grow a couple thousand carrots before getting any bunnies.

I poked two fires for over 20 minutes and got 61 and 63 ash out of them, only to realize that i had forgotten to put in the limestone. That's the second time i've done that. I may just have to bite the bullet and do a lime-only burn, but i always hate wasting the effort, and growing 200 papyrus is pretty easy. (if time-consuming). I've got a big pile of white sand just waiting to turn into fine glass.

Solving puzzles has caused me serious conflict. On the one hand i'd like to be nice to my fellow Egyptians and help them out. On the other hand, some of the puzzles, especially the Empty Hand puzzles, are completely lame. They show no effort whatsoever beyond acquiring the materials. In the end i can't bring myself to give such puzzles a Good rating, and don't. It is also somewhat ironic that the puzzles that i would like to rate highly are the ones i can't solve. Perhaps there should be a way to figure in "hours spent fiddling with it" to the score.
===Year 2, Shemu IV-15===
It's been awhile. A few notes of things i want to remember:
*I passed my 4th Cicada level with 53777 points 42 days ago. I think i have enough points to pass another level.
*I made two large gears and got another level of Structure Maintenance, for whatever that's worth. (now at 3)
*I'm planning to get another level of Structure Repair. Flint is cheap and i can grow papyrus. The paper will take a long time.
*I passed Darkest Night by eating 7 shrooms. I'm now a middling Level 18.
===Year 2, Shemu IV-24===
Whatddaya know, i'm in the Demi-Pharoah finals. For anyone who's come here for info on me, here's a brief sketch.
*I would class myself as a "casual" player, 3 or four times a week for a few hours. If you're looking for a hands-on, finger-in-every-pie sort of DP you can stop reading here.
*Partly as a result of this i have a pretty hands-off attitude toward most things. As a first, and very general, cut at evaluating a situation, if the mechanics of the game allow it then it's "legal".
*That's not to say that everything is "nice". People can be jerks, and groups of people can be collective jerks. Such is human nature.
*To my way of thinking the only thing that i as a player really have permanently in the game is my reputation. Yes, the game mechanics may allow me to do something but if i choose to take that action i must also be prepared to accept whatever the consequences may be.
*This is muddled by the fact that different people are playing the game with different goals. One man's griefing is another man's cleverness. I have no stock answer for this other than, "I know it when i see it".
*I view the Ban as a measure of last resort which is not particularly suited to the tasks assigned to it. If a player is determined to cause grief, banning an individual character won't solve the problem. If there has been a tragic misunderstanding between two parties, slaying someone won't make things better. It is a conundrum.

==My Petition==
Petition by Aku

Aku for Queen's Retreat Regional Garbage Collector

Oh, People of Queen's Retreat, hear the plea of Aku, a humble handmaiden of the region. Our public areas become blighted with abandoned flimsy brick racks, wood planes, and small distaffs. The people become discontent yet all efforts to legislate a solution fall short in some way, and the blight remains.

I petition to be granted the awesome power to salvage any of the three above items in Queen's Retreat which are not within a compound. I realize that this is a great power, and i understand the reluctance anyone might feel in granting it, unchecked, to a single individual. I pledge to use discretion and judgement, and that i am a thoughtful and civic-minded person with no intention of causing harm or unhappiness.

I believe this would do good for the region, clearing places for newcomers to experience Egypt in its beauty. I also believe that nothing short of this will alleviate the problem.

And since this isn't outrageous enough, i request that only the votes of citizens whose primary guild is in Queen's Retreat be counted.

Submitted for your consideration by Aku.

==Inclinations==
I don't have the time to spend grinding my way to the top, so i end up soloing a lot. I'm making an effort to be more social this time around. I like mentoring so if you want advice feel free to chat me and i'll see what i can do. If i don't answer right away i may be making glass or charcoal.

==History==
I played all of T1, sporadically in T2 and T3. I'm hoping to make it all the way through this one.

Aku: /* Status */

==Home==
My home is in Queen's Refuge at 499, -6205. I've joined Mixed Nuts, the Queen's Refuge public works guild so it looks like i'll be hanging around for the time being. Much of the equipment in my compound is public.

I reserve the right to turn any of these back to "Private Use" if i'm in the middle of a project. There is a box next to the charcoal hearths for any donations that anyone would like to make. I'll gratefully accept anything (except mud and sand :-) but don't feel obligated; I'm a big believer in "paying forward".

==Current Projects==
Having the attention span of a mayfly has its disadvantages, but a short "to do" list is not one of them.

===Blacksmithing===
I am currently questing after the 8K shovel and hatchet. I can pretty reliably make a 7.5K one of each (and if anyone wants one send me a tell in-game and we can haggle about price) but once i get there the screwing around i do just makes it worse. Of course i've only been practicing for a day so i am quite hopeful.

Then, of course, i'll start questing for 9K...

Resin wedges, on the other hand, are weird, or at least different enough from the other two that my threashholds seem to be 1K lower.

===Mentoring===
I've been back to Welcome Island several times. I've even helped some people. :-) One or two pledged me a Mentor point but so far no one has actually registered any. Oh, well. It's disappointing but that isn't really why i like Mentoring.

===General Metalworking===
I'm slowly building up the stock to build a blast furnace and reactory of my own. To that end i've been trading with The Goods, a fine institution that i can't recommend highly enough. (Though the new "donation phase" thing is a bit off-putting; i don't see anyone who's not a member of The Goods donating a large gear for free, but perhaps i'm being uncharitable.) I've gotten the concrete and topaz, and will be trading for some tin to try to make steel in the Guild reactory so that i can make the sheeting.

I've become familiar with the reactory and have gotten 100% on steel, brass, bronze, and Moon Steel. It takes me about 6 tries to get a useable amount of metal.

===Skills I am sorta working on===
*Salvage Techniques 4 - my water mine is slowly generating cuttables.

===Social Things===
I'm trying to pay attention to things like digs, acro, and other activties that can only be done with crowds. I'm not entirely succeeding...

==Water Mine Data==
22 degrees, one full winding, 3 Amethysts, 2 Citrine, 1 Jade, 1 Sunstone, 1 Turquoise, 1 Small Quartz, 1 Medium Quartz, 1 Medium Ruby

Since then i've had better luck at 20 or 21 degrees.

==My Semi-Blog==
I'll put my observations here when i am moved to record them, which won't be regularly.

==='''Year 1, Shemu II-24'''===
I've made a lot of progress on my gyration cell. The Moon Steel turned out to be less troublesome than i had planned for, and in fact i've got all 50 smelted. I should be able to get the cement i'll need from The Goods if i can't find it locally. The gravel will be a nuisance as i've run out of Medium Stones. Mostly what's left is mining a huge pile of copper and tin to make the sheeting and then making the sheeting. I may have to put pinch rollers in my second Student Forge to speed up the process.
==='''Year 1 Shemu II-28'''===
I got my second Navigation point for 20 glass rods. I'll set it at the mining compound which i will build next to the guild one. Then i can start mining copper in earnest. I've found an existing gyration cell that i can borrow which will speed things up immensely.
==='''Year 1 Shemu III-10'''===
I finished mining and smelting the copper i neeed for the sheets. Now i just have to forge them. I may have to invest in two more pinch rollers to upgrade another student forge for sheets but that means more mining.

I spent a couple of hours on Welcome Island. Hardly anyone responded to my offer of help though i did have a lively exchange with one fellow who should do fine and a rather odd exchange with another, the second person being unable to understand that i was an experienced player who was chosing to help out newcomers. ("Why r u here?") Overall it was satisfying, but i'm not pushy enough to translate any of it into Mentor points. There is a fuzzy line between helping out a newcomer and being bossy. I err firmly on the offer-only-when-asked side. I'm also "only" on for an hour or two a day at most, so i'm not an ideal candidate for a Mentor. So it goes.

Level 12 continues to elude me. I'll have to investigate Towers again, and start putting myself forward for the Worship init. Acrobatics is progressing slowly but surely and will continue that way since i don't have the fortitude to hang around for one of the massive Acro lines. I like the "acro blobs" better, and they happen periodically around the QR chariot stop, which i can see from my compound.
==='''Year 1 Shemu III-14'''===
I had a run-in with server lag. I was tending my firepit when everything froze for several seconds. When it unlocked i poked the fire but it was too late and the fire went out. It had been burning less than five minutes so in spite of having a full load of papyrus, flax, and leeks i got 12 ash. I was moderately bummed out.

To console myself i set up for a second firepit run, growing 300 flax with some 2/2/2 seeds (which have already been surpassed) and making a papyrus run. During the run i bumped into my friend SamAdams, who helped gather my papyrus, so i stayed around and helped him gather his. He then let me into a small guild he's in which was great because they have a bunch of the cool buildings (including the gyration cell i've been borrowing). I immediately made 600 charcoal in their charcoal oven, in spite of the continued lag. (I did have to abandon my efforts to run the charcoal hearth at the same time.)

This failure to advance in levels is getting to be a problem. I was reviewing my progress on my personal gyration cell and realized that i can't even build it myself until i hit Level 13 because i need Metallurgy III. I think i'm going to have to stifle my urge to own the high-tech production buildings and spend some time leveling. With that in mind i put my name on the Metallic Obelisk queue at size 22. I've got two weeks to come up with the materials. The only one that looks hard is the mirror (assuming size 22 still needs only one; i haven't checked the exact requirements yet). The rest i can either make myself or purchase at The Goods without too much trouble. I wonder if i can get my Sheet Glass skill to 7 in two weeks?
==='''Year 1 Shemu III-16'''===
Yesterday was a good day.

I made excellent progress in collecting materials for my hypothetical Metallic Obelisk. I loaded up my Normal Glass furnace with a full 50 units of melted glass and started making glass sheets. It certainly started out grimly. I cracked the first seven sheets i attempted, though in the process i rose to skill 4. Then i succeeded once, and cracked another. By the time i had made 30 attempts i had 18 sheets of glass, having cracked 11 and lost one to over-fueling my bench. I was quite pleased. I hadn't known how many sheets i would have to crack for each skill level, but i hadn't expected to get to skill 6 in one session. I imagine that last level will be quite tedious to achieve, but it looks like it's doable in my time frame.

On the subject of the glazier's bench i have discovered, or reasoned out, a small refinement to the published technique. I have noticed that the later in the ten-tick heating cycle one adds additional fuel the smaller the spike. By watching the item timer tick down (especially easy with sheet glass) i am able to add 2 charcoal during the tenth tick, just before the temperature drops. This results in a spike of about 150 degrees in addition to the normal heat increase. This means that i can run the bench constantly without periodically stopping production to spike and cool it. (My bench is +56, -135.)

I traded the glass sheets with The Goods for strontium, platinum, and iron and still had a good deal of credit left over. If worse comes to worst i should be able to buy one of the mirrors.

I checked the material requirements for a 22-cubit Metallic Obelisk and it does in fact need 2 mirrors which is unfortunate but not unexpected. The materials i don't have are easy for me to produce myself so assuming i can take care of the mirrors and that no queue war erupts i'm in good shape for the Obelisk Test.
==='''Year 1 Shemu III-21'''===
Yay! One of my Prophecies came true. I am now Level 12. I signed up for Safari.

In other news i did another run of 30 attempted glass sheets. I cracked 4, fried one, and ended up with 25. Sadly my skill is still 6/7, but hopefully i'm that much closer to mirrors. I ran the firepit and poked it for a half-hour, only to discover that i had forgotten to put in the limestone. So i got 70 ash, which was nice, but no lime at all which is unfortunate because i actually have plenty of ash and needed the lime. Sigh.
==='''Year 1 Shemu III-22'''===
You can't do anything without doing something else first.

I planned to do some frog/rat/otter hunting today but first had promised to make some carpentry blades for the Queen of Denial guild. I loaded up the anvil and proceeded, using the excellent guides that have been published elsewhere (see the [[Blacksmithing_Guide |Blacksmithing Guide]] and check the references at the bottom of that page.) The "eight hits across the front" with the force 8 Shaping Mallet take some practice, as there are more than 8 nodes across the front edge, but it turns out to only matter a little. I've also added a refinement where i use the Shaping Mallet at force 5 to depress the area behind the edge around the V-shaped notch in the back before starting in on the directions in the guide. The results after following the guide are worse than just doing the guide, but i've been able to clean it up to 7.5K with about fifty more hits, where i could never clean up the guide blade to more than about 7.2K. I ended up with five in the 7.2K range and one 7.5K blade (the last one.)

Running back from QoD to my compound i found a flock of sheep, and being perennially short of leather i grabbed one. I then went in search of a public sheep pen and failed to find one. So i built one to the west of the School of Architecture near the road. I had to dry some rotten flax, and since i was carrying a sheep i couldn't carry more than 200 bricks so i had to make 7 trips back and forth to my compound but it was close enough that it was only annoying. Then i made the pen public, slaughtered my sheep and stored the products.

Time to head out. But on my way to the chariot stop someone announced that they needed witnesses for their wedding. I'm a sucker for that kind of thing besides considering it an obligation of sorts since my compound is in sight of the altar (that is, when people gather at that altar for a wedding i can see the names when i'm standing in my compound.) On the way to the wedding i noticed an intriguing Pathfinder which i poked at while waiting for the crowd to assemble. Someone brought a hookah to the wedding and i got my first point (rhubarb). Then we had the wedding, which took four tries.

Then i got booted from the computer so that my kid could do homework. Ah well, there's always later.
==='''Shemu III-27'''===
I've been in the desert for a couple of days now hunting various critters. I'm going to be a little vague in the descriptions since i don't want to give away any locations. Anyway, i've not seen any rats or otters but did come across an interesting situation with regard to cicadas. I found a spot that had multiple cages and after picking bugs from all of them i decided to try to break the cluster up a little. My first attempt moved all the cages instead of just one and to my surprise there were now more cages visible. It appears that it is possible for cages to be exactly on top of each other, something i hadn't known.

Yikes! Someone dropped out of the Metallic Obelisk queue, so i have four days less than i had planned to come up with two mirrors. I think i'm going to have to cut my rat-hunting expedition short.

==='''Shemu IV-2'''===
I'm still hunting in the desert. I haven't found any rats or otters but did locate a couple of frogs. They seem pretty straightforward and should be my ticket to a strength point.
==='''Shemu IV-7'''===
I'm back from my desert roaming. I found a lot of bugs so that part went well. On the other hand i didn't see any rats or otters. I refurbished a couple of my remote outposts but wasn't able to do anything with the one in the NE corner of the map due to an unremembered complete lack of grass in the area. I'll have to bring some supplies the next time i head that way.

My Sheet Glass skill is now at 7, which happened on the third sheet of my glass run. I had burned and boiled enough supplies to stock the glazier's bench up to 50 glass, so hitting my goal on the third try was somewhat anti-climactic. Still, i can't really complain (or can i? :-).

I let everything cool and pulled the two intact sheets, then headed for The Goods. I got some leather to contribute toward a guild Barrel Grinder, either for construction or operation, and a batch of cement and some Medium Stones to make into concrete. Silver Powder is still hideously expensive (at least to buy 200 debens) and someone has slurped up the last mirror so i don't have the option of paying a lot of Goodscript for one. Hopefully the Barrel Grinder will be completed soon. I still have two weeks before my turn in the Obelisk queue comes up.

I made a sledgehammer and attacked one of the Medium Stones. It's just as annoying as i remember it being. I did my experiment between two hills to see if gravity played any role in the process but it doesn't seem to, that is, the ejecta scooted indifferently up and down slopes for the same distance. This is one of those activities which is possible to solo but which goes much quicker with help. I like activities with that quality since i'm not able to play regularly for hours at a time, so group activities are hard to schedule.
==='''Shemu IV-14'''===
Busy, busy, busy.

I haven't found any more frogs, but did find an otter and an ibis, so i got my first strength point. Whee! I celebrated by loading up with silt on my way back to camp from the ibis. This will make a lot of things easier. I'm going to enjoy it, i'm sure.

While out exploring i found a Mixed Nuts mining compound that had degenerated to 0%. I spent the time to repair it but couldn't do anything for the equipment inside; Compression Furnaces seem to be resistant to my Structure Repair 2 skill, and i just built a new Hackling Rake rather than try to repair the one in the compound.

When i got back i pitched in for at Mixed Nuts project to build a Barrel Grinder. The only thing that's left is the 120 bearings, so i'm making half the bronze. So far i've got 99 done, including 2 perfect runs. On the other hand i ran out of Fern Palm resin and had to dash out and get more, but fortunately it's pretty common. I hope to finish the last of the bronze tonight, and then i'll fire up the Master Casting Box and make some bearings.
==='''Shemu IV-16'''===
I finished up my share of the bronze for bearings, using up the last of my copper to do so. I fired up the MCB and started cranking out batches of 10 bearings. While i was doing that other-person-in-the-guild-whose-name-i-am-totally-blanking-on finished up the rest of the bronze (and then some; he was on a roll) and took over the MCB. The barrel grinder is now finished. Now i just need to <del>bully</del> sweet talk a grinding party into existence.

I made a tech run to Saqquarah. I feel somewhat guilty doing so, but it's part of how the game works. I picked up papermaking and gem cutting, so now i have an opportunity to blow more of my resources building things that will be time sinks. Heh. Welcome to Egypt. I also got my pyramid construction skill up to 7, so should a general madness overtake Egypt it would be possible for me to become an Oracle. It's nice to set goals that are beyond one's reach.

As long as i was in the neighborhood i picked up 95 white sand (yay STR 1!). While carting it around (perhaps that was why i never caught the gazelle, see below) it occurred to me that the only sensible place to make Fine Glass products is within short walking distance of a white sand patch, at least until one gets at least STR 3 and could conceivably carry (with peppers) 3000 debens, or enough for one run of the glazier's oven.

I saw a gazelle today. They are cute but annoying. I put a call out on E! but there were no takers, so i chased it around a bit and then went home.

I've changed the format of my semi-blog, as it was getting to be too much of a nuisance to scroll down through the whole thing. I'm lazy. So sue me. :-)

==='''Shemu IV-19'''===
Finally got Cooking 1. I borrowed some carrot seeds from Queen of Denial and grew the veggies. It was nice that, with STR 1 and DEX 3 I could just waltz them over to the school instead of dumping my usual tools first. Stat boosts are fun!
==='''Akhet I-7'''===
It's been awhile. I've got 2 strength points now, which is very nice. I built my first tower and got 4% of Egypt. I've also gotten a macro to work for the first time in 4 Tellings and while it was very convenient and did a much better job than i could (it is a mining macro) i still felt vaguely cheap somehow. Not cheap enough to stop doing it, mind you, just mildly uncomfortable.

I also came face-to-face with a reality that's been percolating in the back of my head for awhile but which came into sharp focus when a guildmate mentioned that he had nineteen cicada cages out and working. There is no way in hell that i would ever spend the time necessary to accomplish this. So, the reality is that Egypt really is not for the casual player. I like to do different things but this means by definition that i will never excel in any of them, because there is someone in the game who is specializing in whatever it is.

What i'm finding is that this leaves me completely unmotivated to participate in the large-scale aspects of the game. As a "good citizen" of Egypt i should spend time judging statues, solving puzzles, and watching events, but the way i figure it the seven (or 12 or 21) people who really care should just get together and pass each other and let the rest of us get on with whatever insignificant piddly tasks amuse us. The material costs for the test buildings are enormous, and the costs for the building to make the materials for the test buildings are pretty large as well. It takes me a long time to put that much effort together. I understand that that's the way the game is designed and that i'm here by choice. Fine. But what i'm finding is that i can amuse myself without paying any attention to what passes for the plot of this Telling.

That's not to say i'm anti-social. If a guildmate asked for help collecting resources or putting things together i'd be there. But doing something For The Good of Egypt? Meh. I'm also not belittling in any way the efforts of the people who chose to put in the time. They're working hard, and they're reaping the rewards. That seems fair enough to me. In many cases (the Veggie Pyramids come to mind) i reap some benefits as well. Do i feel a little guilty? Perhaps. But that's part of the game, too. And i'm showing my approval in the only way that Teppy cares about: i'm paying my subscription fee. So the only two people who really matter are satisfied.
==='''Akhet I-11'''===
My gyration cell is done! I spent an hour and a half finishing up the tin sheets and glass tubes. I threw in 1500 copper ore i'd extracted from my copper mine and then went to one of the Mixed Nuts iron mines. The wiki page said it was level 4 and fixed but it was actually level 8 and fixed. Unfortunately it collapsed after 4 pulls and i felt compelled to fix it, so i did. I then pulled almost 1600 ore out and threw that in the gyration cell. Sweet. :-)
==='''Akhet I-30'''===
I've found a bunch of critters and now have as much strength as i have dexterity (3). Running around in the desert isn't very interesting so i look for bodies of water and do some herb gathering. I've found two more bugs in the process. I really should get a rabbit from someone and pitch it and make a fennec cage to claim the level but just haven't gotten around to it.

I'm coming to the head of the Metallic Obelisk queue in QR. The person two people ahead of me hasn't been logged on in over a week so the person immediately ahead of me has built. When she passes, and if the person ahead of me still hasn't been seen i'll put up my obelisk. If she shows up and is ready to build she'll go next. In either case i should pass my first actual test some time in the next two weeks.

I made a scent lab and started playing with it, only to find out that it will take a lot of research to get anything useful out of it. I managed to drive my first batch of incense to quality zero. My second batch had a high value of over 160 but i dragged it down with further experimenting. It looks like there are 42 different initial tendencies for the incense, one positive and one negative. Each one corresponds to one of the stat skills. Then there is a scent; i've had pine and something else (i've misplaced my notebook). There is some research elsewhere in the wiki but since the effects are both ephemeral and minor it isn't very worthwhile to pursue. I'll do it anyway but it will be slow.
==='''Akhet II-10'''===
My Metallic Obelisk is built and ticking away.

I got another Acrobatic move and am now at dexterity 4. I've found my last frog and an ibis and (whatever else i may have written above) i need one more animal to get to strength 4. I guess i'm going to have to start buckling down and go after my eagles and fennecs.

I participated in a heptathalon, which is a one-RL-hour timed contest in which one picks grass, picks slate, gathers silt, fishes, gathers wood, grows flax, and grows veggies. (Hmm, i thought gathering clay was in there too. I'll have to check when i log in next.) I ended up with 142 points out of a possible 700, but i think the winner only got about 250 so it wasn't that bad. I did mostly slate and grass, with some fish and silt, and a token amount of wood that didn't score me any points but did qualify me as having attempted that contest so i got another steel for my effort.

I finally made myself a hatchet and a shovel out of iron. The former came out ok at 7741. The shovel is a little better at 8145. Now i want to find a dig somewhere to try it out.

==='''Akhet II-15'''===
My obelisk is still chugging along.

I decided that i wanted a brick machine because i thought (mistakenly, as it turns out) that it would allow me to make clay bricks. (Because what i ''really'' want is a charcoal oven, but of course before one can do anything one must do something else first.) It took me all evening, but i reacted the bronze (80) and brass (8) that i'd need, then cast it into 80 bearing along with the 4 small gears and 2 medium gears. For no particular reason i fired up the Master's Forge and made an extrusion plate, and as long as it was hot i made 4 lead chisels. I put the extrusion plate in my improved Student Forge, fired ''it'' up, made the 4 sheets of copper and then spent the rest of the time making copper wire.

Imagine my disappointment when, after putting clay and sand into the contraption, i tried to start making wet clay bricks. That's what i get for not checking more carefully. However all is not lost. I figure i can get one of my neighbors to start the machine for me after i load it up, since they undoubtedly have learned Masonry along the way.

I managed to make some low-grade +end -str incense (that is, when i stuck the sap in it was already above 167 in quality). I also determined that the buff stacks by eating a grilled onion and then sniffing the incense. Lo and behold, my END was 3 instead of 0. It's not all that useful as the effects lasted less than 5 minutes and the stick of incense burned about the same length of time, but what the heck. (Oh, my strength went down by one, but since i am a MIGHTY SAFARIAN it was still 2. :-)

So i'll start accumulating wet clay bricks (i should have 600 over with Sam and Bessie) and then i'll start putting together my first charcoal oven.
==='''Akhet III-25'''===
It's been awhile. Much has happened, yet much is the same. I haven't achieved another level, but i have expanded my compound and built some new buildings. I've also been solving a lot of puzzles. As usual i haven't been able to excel at anything because my interests are too wide, but i'm resigned to not passing the tests. I've made several bug-hunting trips but i clearly don't think like the majority of the cicada crowd because i'm not finding any bugs, let alone the scores of bugs that those who are doing well find. Conversely, the cages i put out only last a couple of days. Perhaps i'm looking where *everyone* is looking.

I was finally on-line at the same time as my uphill neighbor and i was able to hire him to fire 1200 wet clay bricks for me. I can't do them myself since i don't have Masonry. I paid him 12 cuttable stone for firing the 1200 bricks, and we both went home happy. Now i have two charcoal ovens, which should keep me rolling in charcoal for the rest of the Telling. (Lag willing.)

I also made a rabbit hutch (with a clay dome purchased from The Goods: i love those guys) so that i can grow rabbits so that i can hunt eagles so that i can get a few more Strength points and possibly even pass Safari. Eventually. I want to grow a couple thousand carrots before getting any bunnies.

I poked two fires for over 20 minutes and got 61 and 63 ash out of them, only to realize that i had forgotten to put in the limestone. That's the second time i've done that. I may just have to bite the bullet and do a lime-only burn, but i always hate wasting the effort, and growing 200 papyrus is pretty easy. (if time-consuming). I've got a big pile of white sand just waiting to turn into fine glass.

Solving puzzles has caused me serious conflict. On the one hand i'd like to be nice to my fellow Egyptians and help them out. On the other hand, some of the puzzles, especially the Empty Hand puzzles, are completely lame. They show no effort whatsoever beyond acquiring the materials. In the end i can't bring myself to give such puzzles a Good rating, and don't. It is also somewhat ironic that the puzzles that i would like to rate highly are the ones i can't solve. Perhaps there should be a way to figure in "hours spent fiddling with it" to the score.
===Year 2, Shemu IV-15===
It's been awhile. A few notes of things i want to remember:
*I passed my 4th Cicada level with 53777 points 42 days ago. I think i have enough points to pass another level.
*I made two large gears and got another level of Structure Maintenance, for whatever that's worth. (now at 3)
*I'm planning to get another level of Structure Repair. Flint is cheap and i can grow papyrus. The paper will take a long time.
*I passed Darkest Night by eating 7 shrooms. I'm now a middling Level 18.

==My Petition==
Petition by Aku

Aku for Queen's Retreat Regional Garbage Collector

Oh, People of Queen's Retreat, hear the plea of Aku, a humble handmaiden of the region. Our public areas become blighted with abandoned flimsy brick racks, wood planes, and small distaffs. The people become discontent yet all efforts to legislate a solution fall short in some way, and the blight remains.

I petition to be granted the awesome power to salvage any of the three above items in Queen's Retreat which are not within a compound. I realize that this is a great power, and i understand the reluctance anyone might feel in granting it, unchecked, to a single individual. I pledge to use discretion and judgement, and that i am a thoughtful and civic-minded person with no intention of causing harm or unhappiness.

I believe this would do good for the region, clearing places for newcomers to experience Egypt in its beauty. I also believe that nothing short of this will alleviate the problem.

And since this isn't outrageous enough, i request that only the votes of citizens whose primary guild is in Queen's Retreat be counted.

Submitted for your consideration by Aku.

==Inclinations==
I don't have the time to spend grinding my way to the top, so i end up soloing a lot. I'm making an effort to be more social this time around. I like mentoring so if you want advice feel free to chat me and i'll see what i can do. If i don't answer right away i may be making glass or charcoal.

==History==
I played all of T1, sporadically in T2 and T3. I'm hoping to make it all the way through this one.

= List of Herbs =
Upload your image to the wiki and add a link like <nowiki>[[Image:Newherbs%24tagetese.jpg|thumb|256px|Tagetese]]</nowiki> in the third column. That will automatically resize the picture to a width of 256 pixels, independent of the size of the uploaded picture. Please turn off Time-of-day-lighting to make the images comparable, and drop a grass beside the herb before taking the shot to illustrate the size of the herb. See [[Help:Herb_Image]] for more information. '''also please keep in mind that its the HERB people want to get a good look at not you dancing!'''
(the herb will be relatively bigger in the thumbnail if it is only the herb in the cropped image.)

I am creating a Category based index of all the herbs: [[:Category:Herb|Index of Herbs]]
For it to work as I intend Images needs to have categories added to them.
Easiest is to do this while uploading them of course. to do this, when uploading a Image in the summary text box add: <nowiki>{{Herb_Image|NAME|METHOD|_SHAPE|_COLOR|_TEXTURE|_RELATION}}</nowiki> NAME being the name of the herb, METHOD the correct Method to harvest it. And the following pipes starting with an underscore ("_") being different categories, up to 6 of them. (See the index for possible categories)
You can create a new category, but first make sure it's not already existing category is suitable! (Categories once created can not be deleted.)

Aku: /* Year 2, Shemu IV-15 */

==Home==
My home is in Queen's Refuge at 499, -6205. I've joined Mixed Nuts, the Queen's Refuge public works guild so it looks like i'll be hanging around for the time being. Much of the equipment in my compound is public.
*Public equipment
**2 Student Forges with Nail Molds, one has pinch rollers and an extrusion plate.
**1 Master Forge, unimproved
**10 True Kilns
**2 Charcoal Hearths
**15 Improved Brick Racks
**1 Basic Carpenter's Bench (no upgrades)
**1 Student's Casting Box
**1 Anvil (bring your own hammers)
**1 Compression Furnaces
**1 Gyration Cell
**1 Water Mine
**1 Reactory, unimproved

I reserve the right to turn any of these back to "Private Use" if i'm in the middle of a project. There is a box next to the charcoal hearths for any donations that anyone would like to make. I'll gratefully accept anything (except mud and sand :-) but don't feel obligated; I'm a big believer in "paying forward".

==Status==
Level 13
*STR 3, DEX 3, SPD 1, everything else 0.
*Initiate of Leadership
**Demi-Pharoah - i signed up to participate in the next DP election when i finally figured out that to pass the principle i have to participate in 3 rounds of the election, meaning (most likely) round 1 in 3 separate elections, rather than making it to the third round in any given election.
**Mentoring - i've got the buildings but haven't seen many new folks, so i haven't been spending much time on Welcome Island, so i haven't seen many new folks...
*Initiate of Body
**Acrobat - (passed Principle) have AI, BJ, CS, CPU, IP, JS, KU, RP, SB, SF, SQ, TT, and WS, have taught 52.
**Cicadas - (passed Principle) I actually got a speed point.
**Safari - Got 3 frogs, 3 otters, 2 gazelles an ibis, 3 rat, and a fennec. Need to drop a rabbit and build a fennec trap to pass Principle.
*Initiate of Architecture
**Obelisk - passed Principle, and i put myself in the queue for a Metallic Obelisk of 21 cubits. I have the materials.
*Initiate of Harmony
**Test of the Prophet (principle)
*Initiate of Art & Science - built statue at my compound which only has 13 votes, and finally got impatient and built, opened, and tore down a second sculpture to pass the principle.
*Initiate of Thought
**Pathmaker (Principle)
*Worship -
**Principle of Marriage

Rhythmic Strength
*L3 - in 100 picks i got 1 about 7 times, otherwise got 2.
*L4 - in 100 picks i got 3 about 10 times, otherwise got 2.
*L5 - in 100 picks i got 3 almost half the time, otherwise got 2
*L6 - in 100 picks i got 3 80 times and 2 20 times
*L7 - in 100 picks i got 3 83 times and 4 17 times

==Current Projects==
Having the attention span of a mayfly has its disadvantages, but a short "to do" list is not one of them.

===Blacksmithing===
I am currently questing after the 8K shovel and hatchet. I can pretty reliably make a 7.5K one of each (and if anyone wants one send me a tell in-game and we can haggle about price) but once i get there the screwing around i do just makes it worse. Of course i've only been practicing for a day so i am quite hopeful.

Then, of course, i'll start questing for 9K...

Resin wedges, on the other hand, are weird, or at least different enough from the other two that my threashholds seem to be 1K lower.

===Mentoring===
I've been back to Welcome Island several times. I've even helped some people. :-) One or two pledged me a Mentor point but so far no one has actually registered any. Oh, well. It's disappointing but that isn't really why i like Mentoring.

===General Metalworking===
I'm slowly building up the stock to build a blast furnace and reactory of my own. To that end i've been trading with The Goods, a fine institution that i can't recommend highly enough. (Though the new "donation phase" thing is a bit off-putting; i don't see anyone who's not a member of The Goods donating a large gear for free, but perhaps i'm being uncharitable.) I've gotten the concrete and topaz, and will be trading for some tin to try to make steel in the Guild reactory so that i can make the sheeting.

I've become familiar with the reactory and have gotten 100% on steel, brass, bronze, and Moon Steel. It takes me about 6 tries to get a useable amount of metal.

===Skills I am sorta working on===
*Salvage Techniques 4 - my water mine is slowly generating cuttables.

===Social Things===
I'm trying to pay attention to things like digs, acro, and other activties that can only be done with crowds. I'm not entirely succeeding...

==Water Mine Data==
22 degrees, one full winding, 3 Amethysts, 2 Citrine, 1 Jade, 1 Sunstone, 1 Turquoise, 1 Small Quartz, 1 Medium Quartz, 1 Medium Ruby

Since then i've had better luck at 20 or 21 degrees.

==My Semi-Blog==
I'll put my observations here when i am moved to record them, which won't be regularly.

==='''Year 1, Shemu II-24'''===
I've made a lot of progress on my gyration cell. The Moon Steel turned out to be less troublesome than i had planned for, and in fact i've got all 50 smelted. I should be able to get the cement i'll need from The Goods if i can't find it locally. The gravel will be a nuisance as i've run out of Medium Stones. Mostly what's left is mining a huge pile of copper and tin to make the sheeting and then making the sheeting. I may have to put pinch rollers in my second Student Forge to speed up the process.
==='''Year 1 Shemu II-28'''===
I got my second Navigation point for 20 glass rods. I'll set it at the mining compound which i will build next to the guild one. Then i can start mining copper in earnest. I've found an existing gyration cell that i can borrow which will speed things up immensely.
==='''Year 1 Shemu III-10'''===
I finished mining and smelting the copper i neeed for the sheets. Now i just have to forge them. I may have to invest in two more pinch rollers to upgrade another student forge for sheets but that means more mining.

I spent a couple of hours on Welcome Island. Hardly anyone responded to my offer of help though i did have a lively exchange with one fellow who should do fine and a rather odd exchange with another, the second person being unable to understand that i was an experienced player who was chosing to help out newcomers. ("Why r u here?") Overall it was satisfying, but i'm not pushy enough to translate any of it into Mentor points. There is a fuzzy line between helping out a newcomer and being bossy. I err firmly on the offer-only-when-asked side. I'm also "only" on for an hour or two a day at most, so i'm not an ideal candidate for a Mentor. So it goes.

Level 12 continues to elude me. I'll have to investigate Towers again, and start putting myself forward for the Worship init. Acrobatics is progressing slowly but surely and will continue that way since i don't have the fortitude to hang around for one of the massive Acro lines. I like the "acro blobs" better, and they happen periodically around the QR chariot stop, which i can see from my compound.
==='''Year 1 Shemu III-14'''===
I had a run-in with server lag. I was tending my firepit when everything froze for several seconds. When it unlocked i poked the fire but it was too late and the fire went out. It had been burning less than five minutes so in spite of having a full load of papyrus, flax, and leeks i got 12 ash. I was moderately bummed out.

To console myself i set up for a second firepit run, growing 300 flax with some 2/2/2 seeds (which have already been surpassed) and making a papyrus run. During the run i bumped into my friend SamAdams, who helped gather my papyrus, so i stayed around and helped him gather his. He then let me into a small guild he's in which was great because they have a bunch of the cool buildings (including the gyration cell i've been borrowing). I immediately made 600 charcoal in their charcoal oven, in spite of the continued lag. (I did have to abandon my efforts to run the charcoal hearth at the same time.)

This failure to advance in levels is getting to be a problem. I was reviewing my progress on my personal gyration cell and realized that i can't even build it myself until i hit Level 13 because i need Metallurgy III. I think i'm going to have to stifle my urge to own the high-tech production buildings and spend some time leveling. With that in mind i put my name on the Metallic Obelisk queue at size 22. I've got two weeks to come up with the materials. The only one that looks hard is the mirror (assuming size 22 still needs only one; i haven't checked the exact requirements yet). The rest i can either make myself or purchase at The Goods without too much trouble. I wonder if i can get my Sheet Glass skill to 7 in two weeks?
==='''Year 1 Shemu III-16'''===
Yesterday was a good day.

I made excellent progress in collecting materials for my hypothetical Metallic Obelisk. I loaded up my Normal Glass furnace with a full 50 units of melted glass and started making glass sheets. It certainly started out grimly. I cracked the first seven sheets i attempted, though in the process i rose to skill 4. Then i succeeded once, and cracked another. By the time i had made 30 attempts i had 18 sheets of glass, having cracked 11 and lost one to over-fueling my bench. I was quite pleased. I hadn't known how many sheets i would have to crack for each skill level, but i hadn't expected to get to skill 6 in one session. I imagine that last level will be quite tedious to achieve, but it looks like it's doable in my time frame.

On the subject of the glazier's bench i have discovered, or reasoned out, a small refinement to the published technique. I have noticed that the later in the ten-tick heating cycle one adds additional fuel the smaller the spike. By watching the item timer tick down (especially easy with sheet glass) i am able to add 2 charcoal during the tenth tick, just before the temperature drops. This results in a spike of about 150 degrees in addition to the normal heat increase. This means that i can run the bench constantly without periodically stopping production to spike and cool it. (My bench is +56, -135.)

I traded the glass sheets with The Goods for strontium, platinum, and iron and still had a good deal of credit left over. If worse comes to worst i should be able to buy one of the mirrors.

I checked the material requirements for a 22-cubit Metallic Obelisk and it does in fact need 2 mirrors which is unfortunate but not unexpected. The materials i don't have are easy for me to produce myself so assuming i can take care of the mirrors and that no queue war erupts i'm in good shape for the Obelisk Test.
==='''Year 1 Shemu III-21'''===
Yay! One of my Prophecies came true. I am now Level 12. I signed up for Safari.

In other news i did another run of 30 attempted glass sheets. I cracked 4, fried one, and ended up with 25. Sadly my skill is still 6/7, but hopefully i'm that much closer to mirrors. I ran the firepit and poked it for a half-hour, only to discover that i had forgotten to put in the limestone. So i got 70 ash, which was nice, but no lime at all which is unfortunate because i actually have plenty of ash and needed the lime. Sigh.
==='''Year 1 Shemu III-22'''===
You can't do anything without doing something else first.

I planned to do some frog/rat/otter hunting today but first had promised to make some carpentry blades for the Queen of Denial guild. I loaded up the anvil and proceeded, using the excellent guides that have been published elsewhere (see the [[Blacksmithing_Guide |Blacksmithing Guide]] and check the references at the bottom of that page.) The "eight hits across the front" with the force 8 Shaping Mallet take some practice, as there are more than 8 nodes across the front edge, but it turns out to only matter a little. I've also added a refinement where i use the Shaping Mallet at force 5 to depress the area behind the edge around the V-shaped notch in the back before starting in on the directions in the guide. The results after following the guide are worse than just doing the guide, but i've been able to clean it up to 7.5K with about fifty more hits, where i could never clean up the guide blade to more than about 7.2K. I ended up with five in the 7.2K range and one 7.5K blade (the last one.)

Running back from QoD to my compound i found a flock of sheep, and being perennially short of leather i grabbed one. I then went in search of a public sheep pen and failed to find one. So i built one to the west of the School of Architecture near the road. I had to dry some rotten flax, and since i was carrying a sheep i couldn't carry more than 200 bricks so i had to make 7 trips back and forth to my compound but it was close enough that it was only annoying. Then i made the pen public, slaughtered my sheep and stored the products.

Time to head out. But on my way to the chariot stop someone announced that they needed witnesses for their wedding. I'm a sucker for that kind of thing besides considering it an obligation of sorts since my compound is in sight of the altar (that is, when people gather at that altar for a wedding i can see the names when i'm standing in my compound.) On the way to the wedding i noticed an intriguing Pathfinder which i poked at while waiting for the crowd to assemble. Someone brought a hookah to the wedding and i got my first point (rhubarb). Then we had the wedding, which took four tries.

Then i got booted from the computer so that my kid could do homework. Ah well, there's always later.
==='''Shemu III-27'''===
I've been in the desert for a couple of days now hunting various critters. I'm going to be a little vague in the descriptions since i don't want to give away any locations. Anyway, i've not seen any rats or otters but did come across an interesting situation with regard to cicadas. I found a spot that had multiple cages and after picking bugs from all of them i decided to try to break the cluster up a little. My first attempt moved all the cages instead of just one and to my surprise there were now more cages visible. It appears that it is possible for cages to be exactly on top of each other, something i hadn't known.

Yikes! Someone dropped out of the Metallic Obelisk queue, so i have four days less than i had planned to come up with two mirrors. I think i'm going to have to cut my rat-hunting expedition short.

==='''Shemu IV-2'''===
I'm still hunting in the desert. I haven't found any rats or otters but did locate a couple of frogs. They seem pretty straightforward and should be my ticket to a strength point.
==='''Shemu IV-7'''===
I'm back from my desert roaming. I found a lot of bugs so that part went well. On the other hand i didn't see any rats or otters. I refurbished a couple of my remote outposts but wasn't able to do anything with the one in the NE corner of the map due to an unremembered complete lack of grass in the area. I'll have to bring some supplies the next time i head that way.

My Sheet Glass skill is now at 7, which happened on the third sheet of my glass run. I had burned and boiled enough supplies to stock the glazier's bench up to 50 glass, so hitting my goal on the third try was somewhat anti-climactic. Still, i can't really complain (or can i? :-).

I let everything cool and pulled the two intact sheets, then headed for The Goods. I got some leather to contribute toward a guild Barrel Grinder, either for construction or operation, and a batch of cement and some Medium Stones to make into concrete. Silver Powder is still hideously expensive (at least to buy 200 debens) and someone has slurped up the last mirror so i don't have the option of paying a lot of Goodscript for one. Hopefully the Barrel Grinder will be completed soon. I still have two weeks before my turn in the Obelisk queue comes up.

I made a sledgehammer and attacked one of the Medium Stones. It's just as annoying as i remember it being. I did my experiment between two hills to see if gravity played any role in the process but it doesn't seem to, that is, the ejecta scooted indifferently up and down slopes for the same distance. This is one of those activities which is possible to solo but which goes much quicker with help. I like activities with that quality since i'm not able to play regularly for hours at a time, so group activities are hard to schedule.
==='''Shemu IV-14'''===
Busy, busy, busy.

I haven't found any more frogs, but did find an otter and an ibis, so i got my first strength point. Whee! I celebrated by loading up with silt on my way back to camp from the ibis. This will make a lot of things easier. I'm going to enjoy it, i'm sure.

While out exploring i found a Mixed Nuts mining compound that had degenerated to 0%. I spent the time to repair it but couldn't do anything for the equipment inside; Compression Furnaces seem to be resistant to my Structure Repair 2 skill, and i just built a new Hackling Rake rather than try to repair the one in the compound.

When i got back i pitched in for at Mixed Nuts project to build a Barrel Grinder. The only thing that's left is the 120 bearings, so i'm making half the bronze. So far i've got 99 done, including 2 perfect runs. On the other hand i ran out of Fern Palm resin and had to dash out and get more, but fortunately it's pretty common. I hope to finish the last of the bronze tonight, and then i'll fire up the Master Casting Box and make some bearings.
==='''Shemu IV-16'''===
I finished up my share of the bronze for bearings, using up the last of my copper to do so. I fired up the MCB and started cranking out batches of 10 bearings. While i was doing that other-person-in-the-guild-whose-name-i-am-totally-blanking-on finished up the rest of the bronze (and then some; he was on a roll) and took over the MCB. The barrel grinder is now finished. Now i just need to <del>bully</del> sweet talk a grinding party into existence.

I made a tech run to Saqquarah. I feel somewhat guilty doing so, but it's part of how the game works. I picked up papermaking and gem cutting, so now i have an opportunity to blow more of my resources building things that will be time sinks. Heh. Welcome to Egypt. I also got my pyramid construction skill up to 7, so should a general madness overtake Egypt it would be possible for me to become an Oracle. It's nice to set goals that are beyond one's reach.

As long as i was in the neighborhood i picked up 95 white sand (yay STR 1!). While carting it around (perhaps that was why i never caught the gazelle, see below) it occurred to me that the only sensible place to make Fine Glass products is within short walking distance of a white sand patch, at least until one gets at least STR 3 and could conceivably carry (with peppers) 3000 debens, or enough for one run of the glazier's oven.

I saw a gazelle today. They are cute but annoying. I put a call out on E! but there were no takers, so i chased it around a bit and then went home.

I've changed the format of my semi-blog, as it was getting to be too much of a nuisance to scroll down through the whole thing. I'm lazy. So sue me. :-)

==='''Shemu IV-19'''===
Finally got Cooking 1. I borrowed some carrot seeds from Queen of Denial and grew the veggies. It was nice that, with STR 1 and DEX 3 I could just waltz them over to the school instead of dumping my usual tools first. Stat boosts are fun!
==='''Akhet I-7'''===
It's been awhile. I've got 2 strength points now, which is very nice. I built my first tower and got 4% of Egypt. I've also gotten a macro to work for the first time in 4 Tellings and while it was very convenient and did a much better job than i could (it is a mining macro) i still felt vaguely cheap somehow. Not cheap enough to stop doing it, mind you, just mildly uncomfortable.

I also came face-to-face with a reality that's been percolating in the back of my head for awhile but which came into sharp focus when a guildmate mentioned that he had nineteen cicada cages out and working. There is no way in hell that i would ever spend the time necessary to accomplish this. So, the reality is that Egypt really is not for the casual player. I like to do different things but this means by definition that i will never excel in any of them, because there is someone in the game who is specializing in whatever it is.

What i'm finding is that this leaves me completely unmotivated to participate in the large-scale aspects of the game. As a "good citizen" of Egypt i should spend time judging statues, solving puzzles, and watching events, but the way i figure it the seven (or 12 or 21) people who really care should just get together and pass each other and let the rest of us get on with whatever insignificant piddly tasks amuse us. The material costs for the test buildings are enormous, and the costs for the building to make the materials for the test buildings are pretty large as well. It takes me a long time to put that much effort together. I understand that that's the way the game is designed and that i'm here by choice. Fine. But what i'm finding is that i can amuse myself without paying any attention to what passes for the plot of this Telling.

That's not to say i'm anti-social. If a guildmate asked for help collecting resources or putting things together i'd be there. But doing something For The Good of Egypt? Meh. I'm also not belittling in any way the efforts of the people who chose to put in the time. They're working hard, and they're reaping the rewards. That seems fair enough to me. In many cases (the Veggie Pyramids come to mind) i reap some benefits as well. Do i feel a little guilty? Perhaps. But that's part of the game, too. And i'm showing my approval in the only way that Teppy cares about: i'm paying my subscription fee. So the only two people who really matter are satisfied.
==='''Akhet I-11'''===
My gyration cell is done! I spent an hour and a half finishing up the tin sheets and glass tubes. I threw in 1500 copper ore i'd extracted from my copper mine and then went to one of the Mixed Nuts iron mines. The wiki page said it was level 4 and fixed but it was actually level 8 and fixed. Unfortunately it collapsed after 4 pulls and i felt compelled to fix it, so i did. I then pulled almost 1600 ore out and threw that in the gyration cell. Sweet. :-)
==='''Akhet I-30'''===
I've found a bunch of critters and now have as much strength as i have dexterity (3). Running around in the desert isn't very interesting so i look for bodies of water and do some herb gathering. I've found two more bugs in the process. I really should get a rabbit from someone and pitch it and make a fennec cage to claim the level but just haven't gotten around to it.

I'm coming to the head of the Metallic Obelisk queue in QR. The person two people ahead of me hasn't been logged on in over a week so the person immediately ahead of me has built. When she passes, and if the person ahead of me still hasn't been seen i'll put up my obelisk. If she shows up and is ready to build she'll go next. In either case i should pass my first actual test some time in the next two weeks.

I made a scent lab and started playing with it, only to find out that it will take a lot of research to get anything useful out of it. I managed to drive my first batch of incense to quality zero. My second batch had a high value of over 160 but i dragged it down with further experimenting. It looks like there are 42 different initial tendencies for the incense, one positive and one negative. Each one corresponds to one of the stat skills. Then there is a scent; i've had pine and something else (i've misplaced my notebook). There is some research elsewhere in the wiki but since the effects are both ephemeral and minor it isn't very worthwhile to pursue. I'll do it anyway but it will be slow.
==='''Akhet II-10'''===
My Metallic Obelisk is built and ticking away.

I got another Acrobatic move and am now at dexterity 4. I've found my last frog and an ibis and (whatever else i may have written above) i need one more animal to get to strength 4. I guess i'm going to have to start buckling down and go after my eagles and fennecs.

I participated in a heptathalon, which is a one-RL-hour timed contest in which one picks grass, picks slate, gathers silt, fishes, gathers wood, grows flax, and grows veggies. (Hmm, i thought gathering clay was in there too. I'll have to check when i log in next.) I ended up with 142 points out of a possible 700, but i think the winner only got about 250 so it wasn't that bad. I did mostly slate and grass, with some fish and silt, and a token amount of wood that didn't score me any points but did qualify me as having attempted that contest so i got another steel for my effort.

I finally made myself a hatchet and a shovel out of iron. The former came out ok at 7741. The shovel is a little better at 8145. Now i want to find a dig somewhere to try it out.

==='''Akhet II-15'''===
My obelisk is still chugging along.

I decided that i wanted a brick machine because i thought (mistakenly, as it turns out) that it would allow me to make clay bricks. (Because what i ''really'' want is a charcoal oven, but of course before one can do anything one must do something else first.) It took me all evening, but i reacted the bronze (80) and brass (8) that i'd need, then cast it into 80 bearing along with the 4 small gears and 2 medium gears. For no particular reason i fired up the Master's Forge and made an extrusion plate, and as long as it was hot i made 4 lead chisels. I put the extrusion plate in my improved Student Forge, fired ''it'' up, made the 4 sheets of copper and then spent the rest of the time making copper wire.

Imagine my disappointment when, after putting clay and sand into the contraption, i tried to start making wet clay bricks. That's what i get for not checking more carefully. However all is not lost. I figure i can get one of my neighbors to start the machine for me after i load it up, since they undoubtedly have learned Masonry along the way.

I managed to make some low-grade +end -str incense (that is, when i stuck the sap in it was already above 167 in quality). I also determined that the buff stacks by eating a grilled onion and then sniffing the incense. Lo and behold, my END was 3 instead of 0. It's not all that useful as the effects lasted less than 5 minutes and the stick of incense burned about the same length of time, but what the heck. (Oh, my strength went down by one, but since i am a MIGHTY SAFARIAN it was still 2. :-)

So i'll start accumulating wet clay bricks (i should have 600 over with Sam and Bessie) and then i'll start putting together my first charcoal oven.
==='''Akhet III-25'''===
It's been awhile. Much has happened, yet much is the same. I haven't achieved another level, but i have expanded my compound and built some new buildings. I've also been solving a lot of puzzles. As usual i haven't been able to excel at anything because my interests are too wide, but i'm resigned to not passing the tests. I've made several bug-hunting trips but i clearly don't think like the majority of the cicada crowd because i'm not finding any bugs, let alone the scores of bugs that those who are doing well find. Conversely, the cages i put out only last a couple of days. Perhaps i'm looking where *everyone* is looking.

I was finally on-line at the same time as my uphill neighbor and i was able to hire him to fire 1200 wet clay bricks for me. I can't do them myself since i don't have Masonry. I paid him 12 cuttable stone for firing the 1200 bricks, and we both went home happy. Now i have two charcoal ovens, which should keep me rolling in charcoal for the rest of the Telling. (Lag willing.)

I also made a rabbit hutch (with a clay dome purchased from The Goods: i love those guys) so that i can grow rabbits so that i can hunt eagles so that i can get a few more Strength points and possibly even pass Safari. Eventually. I want to grow a couple thousand carrots before getting any bunnies.

I poked two fires for over 20 minutes and got 61 and 63 ash out of them, only to realize that i had forgotten to put in the limestone. That's the second time i've done that. I may just have to bite the bullet and do a lime-only burn, but i always hate wasting the effort, and growing 200 papyrus is pretty easy. (if time-consuming). I've got a big pile of white sand just waiting to turn into fine glass.

Solving puzzles has caused me serious conflict. On the one hand i'd like to be nice to my fellow Egyptians and help them out. On the other hand, some of the puzzles, especially the Empty Hand puzzles, are completely lame. They show no effort whatsoever beyond acquiring the materials. In the end i can't bring myself to give such puzzles a Good rating, and don't. It is also somewhat ironic that the puzzles that i would like to rate highly are the ones i can't solve. Perhaps there should be a way to figure in "hours spent fiddling with it" to the score.
===Year 2, Shemu IV-15===
It's been awhile. A few notes of things i want to remember:
*I passed my 4th Cicada level with 53777 points 42 days ago. I think i have enough points to pass another level.
*I made two large gears and got another level of Structure Maintenance, for whatever that's worth. (now at 3)
*I'm planning to get another level of Structure Repair. Flint is cheap and i can grow papyrus. The paper will take a long time.
*I passed Darkest Night by eating 7 shrooms. I'm now a middling Level 18.

==My Petition==
Petition by Aku

Aku for Queen's Retreat Regional Garbage Collector

Oh, People of Queen's Retreat, hear the plea of Aku, a humble handmaiden of the region. Our public areas become blighted with abandoned flimsy brick racks, wood planes, and small distaffs. The people become discontent yet all efforts to legislate a solution fall short in some way, and the blight remains.

I petition to be granted the awesome power to salvage any of the three above items in Queen's Retreat which are not within a compound. I realize that this is a great power, and i understand the reluctance anyone might feel in granting it, unchecked, to a single individual. I pledge to use discretion and judgement, and that i am a thoughtful and civic-minded person with no intention of causing harm or unhappiness.

I believe this would do good for the region, clearing places for newcomers to experience Egypt in its beauty. I also believe that nothing short of this will alleviate the problem.

And since this isn't outrageous enough, i request that only the votes of citizens whose primary guild is in Queen's Retreat be counted.

Submitted for your consideration by Aku.

==Inclinations==
I don't have the time to spend grinding my way to the top, so i end up soloing a lot. I'm making an effort to be more social this time around. I like mentoring so if you want advice feel free to chat me and i'll see what i can do. If i don't answer right away i may be making glass or charcoal.

==History==
I played all of T1, sporadically in T2 and T3. I'm hoping to make it all the way through this one.

Aku: /* Akhet III-25 */

==Home==
My home is in Queen's Refuge at 499, -6205. I've joined Mixed Nuts, the Queen's Refuge public works guild so it looks like i'll be hanging around for the time being. Much of the equipment in my compound is public.
*Public equipment
**2 Student Forges with Nail Molds, one has pinch rollers and an extrusion plate.
**1 Master Forge, unimproved
**10 True Kilns
**2 Charcoal Hearths
**15 Improved Brick Racks
**1 Basic Carpenter's Bench (no upgrades)
**1 Student's Casting Box
**1 Anvil (bring your own hammers)
**1 Compression Furnaces
**1 Gyration Cell
**1 Water Mine
**1 Reactory, unimproved

I reserve the right to turn any of these back to "Private Use" if i'm in the middle of a project. There is a box next to the charcoal hearths for any donations that anyone would like to make. I'll gratefully accept anything (except mud and sand :-) but don't feel obligated; I'm a big believer in "paying forward".

==Status==
Level 13
*STR 3, DEX 3, SPD 1, everything else 0.
*Initiate of Leadership
**Demi-Pharoah - i signed up to participate in the next DP election when i finally figured out that to pass the principle i have to participate in 3 rounds of the election, meaning (most likely) round 1 in 3 separate elections, rather than making it to the third round in any given election.
**Mentoring - i've got the buildings but haven't seen many new folks, so i haven't been spending much time on Welcome Island, so i haven't seen many new folks...
*Initiate of Body
**Acrobat - (passed Principle) have AI, BJ, CS, CPU, IP, JS, KU, RP, SB, SF, SQ, TT, and WS, have taught 52.
**Cicadas - (passed Principle) I actually got a speed point.
**Safari - Got 3 frogs, 3 otters, 2 gazelles an ibis, 3 rat, and a fennec. Need to drop a rabbit and build a fennec trap to pass Principle.
*Initiate of Architecture
**Obelisk - passed Principle, and i put myself in the queue for a Metallic Obelisk of 21 cubits. I have the materials.
*Initiate of Harmony
**Test of the Prophet (principle)
*Initiate of Art & Science - built statue at my compound which only has 13 votes, and finally got impatient and built, opened, and tore down a second sculpture to pass the principle.
*Initiate of Thought
**Pathmaker (Principle)
*Worship -
**Principle of Marriage

*L7 - in 100 picks i got 3 83 times and 4 17 times

==Current Projects==
Having the attention span of a mayfly has its disadvantages, but a short "to do" list is not one of them.

===Blacksmithing===
I am currently questing after the 8K shovel and hatchet. I can pretty reliably make a 7.5K one of each (and if anyone wants one send me a tell in-game and we can haggle about price) but once i get there the screwing around i do just makes it worse. Of course i've only been practicing for a day so i am quite hopeful.

Then, of course, i'll start questing for 9K...

Resin wedges, on the other hand, are weird, or at least different enough from the other two that my threashholds seem to be 1K lower.

===Mentoring===
I've been back to Welcome Island several times. I've even helped some people. :-) One or two pledged me a Mentor point but so far no one has actually registered any. Oh, well. It's disappointing but that isn't really why i like Mentoring.

===General Metalworking===
I'm slowly building up the stock to build a blast furnace and reactory of my own. To that end i've been trading with The Goods, a fine institution that i can't recommend highly enough. (Though the new "donation phase" thing is a bit off-putting; i don't see anyone who's not a member of The Goods donating a large gear for free, but perhaps i'm being uncharitable.) I've gotten the concrete and topaz, and will be trading for some tin to try to make steel in the Guild reactory so that i can make the sheeting.

I've become familiar with the reactory and have gotten 100% on steel, brass, bronze, and Moon Steel. It takes me about 6 tries to get a useable amount of metal.

===Skills I am sorta working on===
*Salvage Techniques 4 - my water mine is slowly generating cuttables.

===Social Things===
I'm trying to pay attention to things like digs, acro, and other activties that can only be done with crowds. I'm not entirely succeeding...

==Water Mine Data==
22 degrees, one full winding, 3 Amethysts, 2 Citrine, 1 Jade, 1 Sunstone, 1 Turquoise, 1 Small Quartz, 1 Medium Quartz, 1 Medium Ruby

Since then i've had better luck at 20 or 21 degrees.

==My Semi-Blog==
I'll put my observations here when i am moved to record them, which won't be regularly.

==='''Year 1, Shemu II-24'''===
I've made a lot of progress on my gyration cell. The Moon Steel turned out to be less troublesome than i had planned for, and in fact i've got all 50 smelted. I should be able to get the cement i'll need from The Goods if i can't find it locally. The gravel will be a nuisance as i've run out of Medium Stones. Mostly what's left is mining a huge pile of copper and tin to make the sheeting and then making the sheeting. I may have to put pinch rollers in my second Student Forge to speed up the process.
==='''Year 1 Shemu II-28'''===
I got my second Navigation point for 20 glass rods. I'll set it at the mining compound which i will build next to the guild one. Then i can start mining copper in earnest. I've found an existing gyration cell that i can borrow which will speed things up immensely.
==='''Year 1 Shemu III-10'''===
I finished mining and smelting the copper i neeed for the sheets. Now i just have to forge them. I may have to invest in two more pinch rollers to upgrade another student forge for sheets but that means more mining.

I spent a couple of hours on Welcome Island. Hardly anyone responded to my offer of help though i did have a lively exchange with one fellow who should do fine and a rather odd exchange with another, the second person being unable to understand that i was an experienced player who was chosing to help out newcomers. ("Why r u here?") Overall it was satisfying, but i'm not pushy enough to translate any of it into Mentor points. There is a fuzzy line between helping out a newcomer and being bossy. I err firmly on the offer-only-when-asked side. I'm also "only" on for an hour or two a day at most, so i'm not an ideal candidate for a Mentor. So it goes.

Level 12 continues to elude me. I'll have to investigate Towers again, and start putting myself forward for the Worship init. Acrobatics is progressing slowly but surely and will continue that way since i don't have the fortitude to hang around for one of the massive Acro lines. I like the "acro blobs" better, and they happen periodically around the QR chariot stop, which i can see from my compound.
==='''Year 1 Shemu III-14'''===
I had a run-in with server lag. I was tending my firepit when everything froze for several seconds. When it unlocked i poked the fire but it was too late and the fire went out. It had been burning less than five minutes so in spite of having a full load of papyrus, flax, and leeks i got 12 ash. I was moderately bummed out.

To console myself i set up for a second firepit run, growing 300 flax with some 2/2/2 seeds (which have already been surpassed) and making a papyrus run. During the run i bumped into my friend SamAdams, who helped gather my papyrus, so i stayed around and helped him gather his. He then let me into a small guild he's in which was great because they have a bunch of the cool buildings (including the gyration cell i've been borrowing). I immediately made 600 charcoal in their charcoal oven, in spite of the continued lag. (I did have to abandon my efforts to run the charcoal hearth at the same time.)

This failure to advance in levels is getting to be a problem. I was reviewing my progress on my personal gyration cell and realized that i can't even build it myself until i hit Level 13 because i need Metallurgy III. I think i'm going to have to stifle my urge to own the high-tech production buildings and spend some time leveling. With that in mind i put my name on the Metallic Obelisk queue at size 22. I've got two weeks to come up with the materials. The only one that looks hard is the mirror (assuming size 22 still needs only one; i haven't checked the exact requirements yet). The rest i can either make myself or purchase at The Goods without too much trouble. I wonder if i can get my Sheet Glass skill to 7 in two weeks?
==='''Year 1 Shemu III-16'''===
Yesterday was a good day.

I made excellent progress in collecting materials for my hypothetical Metallic Obelisk. I loaded up my Normal Glass furnace with a full 50 units of melted glass and started making glass sheets. It certainly started out grimly. I cracked the first seven sheets i attempted, though in the process i rose to skill 4. Then i succeeded once, and cracked another. By the time i had made 30 attempts i had 18 sheets of glass, having cracked 11 and lost one to over-fueling my bench. I was quite pleased. I hadn't known how many sheets i would have to crack for each skill level, but i hadn't expected to get to skill 6 in one session. I imagine that last level will be quite tedious to achieve, but it looks like it's doable in my time frame.

On the subject of the glazier's bench i have discovered, or reasoned out, a small refinement to the published technique. I have noticed that the later in the ten-tick heating cycle one adds additional fuel the smaller the spike. By watching the item timer tick down (especially easy with sheet glass) i am able to add 2 charcoal during the tenth tick, just before the temperature drops. This results in a spike of about 150 degrees in addition to the normal heat increase. This means that i can run the bench constantly without periodically stopping production to spike and cool it. (My bench is +56, -135.)

I traded the glass sheets with The Goods for strontium, platinum, and iron and still had a good deal of credit left over. If worse comes to worst i should be able to buy one of the mirrors.

I checked the material requirements for a 22-cubit Metallic Obelisk and it does in fact need 2 mirrors which is unfortunate but not unexpected. The materials i don't have are easy for me to produce myself so assuming i can take care of the mirrors and that no queue war erupts i'm in good shape for the Obelisk Test.
==='''Year 1 Shemu III-21'''===
Yay! One of my Prophecies came true. I am now Level 12. I signed up for Safari.

In other news i did another run of 30 attempted glass sheets. I cracked 4, fried one, and ended up with 25. Sadly my skill is still 6/7, but hopefully i'm that much closer to mirrors. I ran the firepit and poked it for a half-hour, only to discover that i had forgotten to put in the limestone. So i got 70 ash, which was nice, but no lime at all which is unfortunate because i actually have plenty of ash and needed the lime. Sigh.
==='''Year 1 Shemu III-22'''===
You can't do anything without doing something else first.

I planned to do some frog/rat/otter hunting today but first had promised to make some carpentry blades for the Queen of Denial guild. I loaded up the anvil and proceeded, using the excellent guides that have been published elsewhere (see the [[Blacksmithing_Guide |Blacksmithing Guide]] and check the references at the bottom of that page.) The "eight hits across the front" with the force 8 Shaping Mallet take some practice, as there are more than 8 nodes across the front edge, but it turns out to only matter a little. I've also added a refinement where i use the Shaping Mallet at force 5 to depress the area behind the edge around the V-shaped notch in the back before starting in on the directions in the guide. The results after following the guide are worse than just doing the guide, but i've been able to clean it up to 7.5K with about fifty more hits, where i could never clean up the guide blade to more than about 7.2K. I ended up with five in the 7.2K range and one 7.5K blade (the last one.)

Running back from QoD to my compound i found a flock of sheep, and being perennially short of leather i grabbed one. I then went in search of a public sheep pen and failed to find one. So i built one to the west of the School of Architecture near the road. I had to dry some rotten flax, and since i was carrying a sheep i couldn't carry more than 200 bricks so i had to make 7 trips back and forth to my compound but it was close enough that it was only annoying. Then i made the pen public, slaughtered my sheep and stored the products.

Time to head out. But on my way to the chariot stop someone announced that they needed witnesses for their wedding. I'm a sucker for that kind of thing besides considering it an obligation of sorts since my compound is in sight of the altar (that is, when people gather at that altar for a wedding i can see the names when i'm standing in my compound.) On the way to the wedding i noticed an intriguing Pathfinder which i poked at while waiting for the crowd to assemble. Someone brought a hookah to the wedding and i got my first point (rhubarb). Then we had the wedding, which took four tries.

Then i got booted from the computer so that my kid could do homework. Ah well, there's always later.
==='''Shemu III-27'''===
I've been in the desert for a couple of days now hunting various critters. I'm going to be a little vague in the descriptions since i don't want to give away any locations. Anyway, i've not seen any rats or otters but did come across an interesting situation with regard to cicadas. I found a spot that had multiple cages and after picking bugs from all of them i decided to try to break the cluster up a little. My first attempt moved all the cages instead of just one and to my surprise there were now more cages visible. It appears that it is possible for cages to be exactly on top of each other, something i hadn't known.

Yikes! Someone dropped out of the Metallic Obelisk queue, so i have four days less than i had planned to come up with two mirrors. I think i'm going to have to cut my rat-hunting expedition short.

==='''Shemu IV-2'''===
I'm still hunting in the desert. I haven't found any rats or otters but did locate a couple of frogs. They seem pretty straightforward and should be my ticket to a strength point.
==='''Shemu IV-7'''===
I'm back from my desert roaming. I found a lot of bugs so that part went well. On the other hand i didn't see any rats or otters. I refurbished a couple of my remote outposts but wasn't able to do anything with the one in the NE corner of the map due to an unremembered complete lack of grass in the area. I'll have to bring some supplies the next time i head that way.

My Sheet Glass skill is now at 7, which happened on the third sheet of my glass run. I had burned and boiled enough supplies to stock the glazier's bench up to 50 glass, so hitting my goal on the third try was somewhat anti-climactic. Still, i can't really complain (or can i? :-).

I let everything cool and pulled the two intact sheets, then headed for The Goods. I got some leather to contribute toward a guild Barrel Grinder, either for construction or operation, and a batch of cement and some Medium Stones to make into concrete. Silver Powder is still hideously expensive (at least to buy 200 debens) and someone has slurped up the last mirror so i don't have the option of paying a lot of Goodscript for one. Hopefully the Barrel Grinder will be completed soon. I still have two weeks before my turn in the Obelisk queue comes up.

I made a sledgehammer and attacked one of the Medium Stones. It's just as annoying as i remember it being. I did my experiment between two hills to see if gravity played any role in the process but it doesn't seem to, that is, the ejecta scooted indifferently up and down slopes for the same distance. This is one of those activities which is possible to solo but which goes much quicker with help. I like activities with that quality since i'm not able to play regularly for hours at a time, so group activities are hard to schedule.
==='''Shemu IV-14'''===
Busy, busy, busy.

I haven't found any more frogs, but did find an otter and an ibis, so i got my first strength point. Whee! I celebrated by loading up with silt on my way back to camp from the ibis. This will make a lot of things easier. I'm going to enjoy it, i'm sure.

While out exploring i found a Mixed Nuts mining compound that had degenerated to 0%. I spent the time to repair it but couldn't do anything for the equipment inside; Compression Furnaces seem to be resistant to my Structure Repair 2 skill, and i just built a new Hackling Rake rather than try to repair the one in the compound.

When i got back i pitched in for at Mixed Nuts project to build a Barrel Grinder. The only thing that's left is the 120 bearings, so i'm making half the bronze. So far i've got 99 done, including 2 perfect runs. On the other hand i ran out of Fern Palm resin and had to dash out and get more, but fortunately it's pretty common. I hope to finish the last of the bronze tonight, and then i'll fire up the Master Casting Box and make some bearings.
==='''Shemu IV-16'''===
I finished up my share of the bronze for bearings, using up the last of my copper to do so. I fired up the MCB and started cranking out batches of 10 bearings. While i was doing that other-person-in-the-guild-whose-name-i-am-totally-blanking-on finished up the rest of the bronze (and then some; he was on a roll) and took over the MCB. The barrel grinder is now finished. Now i just need to <del>bully</del> sweet talk a grinding party into existence.

I made a tech run to Saqquarah. I feel somewhat guilty doing so, but it's part of how the game works. I picked up papermaking and gem cutting, so now i have an opportunity to blow more of my resources building things that will be time sinks. Heh. Welcome to Egypt. I also got my pyramid construction skill up to 7, so should a general madness overtake Egypt it would be possible for me to become an Oracle. It's nice to set goals that are beyond one's reach.

As long as i was in the neighborhood i picked up 95 white sand (yay STR 1!). While carting it around (perhaps that was why i never caught the gazelle, see below) it occurred to me that the only sensible place to make Fine Glass products is within short walking distance of a white sand patch, at least until one gets at least STR 3 and could conceivably carry (with peppers) 3000 debens, or enough for one run of the glazier's oven.

I saw a gazelle today. They are cute but annoying. I put a call out on E! but there were no takers, so i chased it around a bit and then went home.

I've changed the format of my semi-blog, as it was getting to be too much of a nuisance to scroll down through the whole thing. I'm lazy. So sue me. :-)

==='''Shemu IV-19'''===
Finally got Cooking 1. I borrowed some carrot seeds from Queen of Denial and grew the veggies. It was nice that, with STR 1 and DEX 3 I could just waltz them over to the school instead of dumping my usual tools first. Stat boosts are fun!
==='''Akhet I-7'''===
It's been awhile. I've got 2 strength points now, which is very nice. I built my first tower and got 4% of Egypt. I've also gotten a macro to work for the first time in 4 Tellings and while it was very convenient and did a much better job than i could (it is a mining macro) i still felt vaguely cheap somehow. Not cheap enough to stop doing it, mind you, just mildly uncomfortable.

I also came face-to-face with a reality that's been percolating in the back of my head for awhile but which came into sharp focus when a guildmate mentioned that he had nineteen cicada cages out and working. There is no way in hell that i would ever spend the time necessary to accomplish this. So, the reality is that Egypt really is not for the casual player. I like to do different things but this means by definition that i will never excel in any of them, because there is someone in the game who is specializing in whatever it is.

What i'm finding is that this leaves me completely unmotivated to participate in the large-scale aspects of the game. As a "good citizen" of Egypt i should spend time judging statues, solving puzzles, and watching events, but the way i figure it the seven (or 12 or 21) people who really care should just get together and pass each other and let the rest of us get on with whatever insignificant piddly tasks amuse us. The material costs for the test buildings are enormous, and the costs for the building to make the materials for the test buildings are pretty large as well. It takes me a long time to put that much effort together. I understand that that's the way the game is designed and that i'm here by choice. Fine. But what i'm finding is that i can amuse myself without paying any attention to what passes for the plot of this Telling.

That's not to say i'm anti-social. If a guildmate asked for help collecting resources or putting things together i'd be there. But doing something For The Good of Egypt? Meh. I'm also not belittling in any way the efforts of the people who chose to put in the time. They're working hard, and they're reaping the rewards. That seems fair enough to me. In many cases (the Veggie Pyramids come to mind) i reap some benefits as well. Do i feel a little guilty? Perhaps. But that's part of the game, too. And i'm showing my approval in the only way that Teppy cares about: i'm paying my subscription fee. So the only two people who really matter are satisfied.
==='''Akhet I-11'''===
My gyration cell is done! I spent an hour and a half finishing up the tin sheets and glass tubes. I threw in 1500 copper ore i'd extracted from my copper mine and then went to one of the Mixed Nuts iron mines. The wiki page said it was level 4 and fixed but it was actually level 8 and fixed. Unfortunately it collapsed after 4 pulls and i felt compelled to fix it, so i did. I then pulled almost 1600 ore out and threw that in the gyration cell. Sweet. :-)
==='''Akhet I-30'''===
I've found a bunch of critters and now have as much strength as i have dexterity (3). Running around in the desert isn't very interesting so i look for bodies of water and do some herb gathering. I've found two more bugs in the process. I really should get a rabbit from someone and pitch it and make a fennec cage to claim the level but just haven't gotten around to it.

I'm coming to the head of the Metallic Obelisk queue in QR. The person two people ahead of me hasn't been logged on in over a week so the person immediately ahead of me has built. When she passes, and if the person ahead of me still hasn't been seen i'll put up my obelisk. If she shows up and is ready to build she'll go next. In either case i should pass my first actual test some time in the next two weeks.

I made a scent lab and started playing with it, only to find out that it will take a lot of research to get anything useful out of it. I managed to drive my first batch of incense to quality zero. My second batch had a high value of over 160 but i dragged it down with further experimenting. It looks like there are 42 different initial tendencies for the incense, one positive and one negative. Each one corresponds to one of the stat skills. Then there is a scent; i've had pine and something else (i've misplaced my notebook). There is some research elsewhere in the wiki but since the effects are both ephemeral and minor it isn't very worthwhile to pursue. I'll do it anyway but it will be slow.
==='''Akhet II-10'''===
My Metallic Obelisk is built and ticking away.

I got another Acrobatic move and am now at dexterity 4. I've found my last frog and an ibis and (whatever else i may have written above) i need one more animal to get to strength 4. I guess i'm going to have to start buckling down and go after my eagles and fennecs.

I participated in a heptathalon, which is a one-RL-hour timed contest in which one picks grass, picks slate, gathers silt, fishes, gathers wood, grows flax, and grows veggies. (Hmm, i thought gathering clay was in there too. I'll have to check when i log in next.) I ended up with 142 points out of a possible 700, but i think the winner only got about 250 so it wasn't that bad. I did mostly slate and grass, with some fish and silt, and a token amount of wood that didn't score me any points but did qualify me as having attempted that contest so i got another steel for my effort.

I finally made myself a hatchet and a shovel out of iron. The former came out ok at 7741. The shovel is a little better at 8145. Now i want to find a dig somewhere to try it out.

==='''Akhet II-15'''===
My obelisk is still chugging along.

I decided that i wanted a brick machine because i thought (mistakenly, as it turns out) that it would allow me to make clay bricks. (Because what i ''really'' want is a charcoal oven, but of course before one can do anything one must do something else first.) It took me all evening, but i reacted the bronze (80) and brass (8) that i'd need, then cast it into 80 bearing along with the 4 small gears and 2 medium gears. For no particular reason i fired up the Master's Forge and made an extrusion plate, and as long as it was hot i made 4 lead chisels. I put the extrusion plate in my improved Student Forge, fired ''it'' up, made the 4 sheets of copper and then spent the rest of the time making copper wire.

Imagine my disappointment when, after putting clay and sand into the contraption, i tried to start making wet clay bricks. That's what i get for not checking more carefully. However all is not lost. I figure i can get one of my neighbors to start the machine for me after i load it up, since they undoubtedly have learned Masonry along the way.

I managed to make some low-grade +end -str incense (that is, when i stuck the sap in it was already above 167 in quality). I also determined that the buff stacks by eating a grilled onion and then sniffing the incense. Lo and behold, my END was 3 instead of 0. It's not all that useful as the effects lasted less than 5 minutes and the stick of incense burned about the same length of time, but what the heck. (Oh, my strength went down by one, but since i am a MIGHTY SAFARIAN it was still 2. :-)

So i'll start accumulating wet clay bricks (i should have 600 over with Sam and Bessie) and then i'll start putting together my first charcoal oven.
==='''Akhet III-25'''===
It's been awhile. Much has happened, yet much is the same. I haven't achieved another level, but i have expanded my compound and built some new buildings. I've also been solving a lot of puzzles. As usual i haven't been able to excel at anything because my interests are too wide, but i'm resigned to not passing the tests. I've made several bug-hunting trips but i clearly don't think like the majority of the cicada crowd because i'm not finding any bugs, let alone the scores of bugs that those who are doing well find. Conversely, the cages i put out only last a couple of days. Perhaps i'm looking where *everyone* is looking.

I was finally on-line at the same time as my uphill neighbor and i was able to hire him to fire 1200 wet clay bricks for me. I can't do them myself since i don't have Masonry. I paid him 12 cuttable stone for firing the 1200 bricks, and we both went home happy. Now i have two charcoal ovens, which should keep me rolling in charcoal for the rest of the Telling. (Lag willing.)

I also made a rabbit hutch (with a clay dome purchased from The Goods: i love those guys) so that i can grow rabbits so that i can hunt eagles so that i can get a few more Strength points and possibly even pass Safari. Eventually. I want to grow a couple thousand carrots before getting any bunnies.

I poked two fires for over 20 minutes and got 61 and 63 ash out of them, only to realize that i had forgotten to put in the limestone. That's the second time i've done that. I may just have to bite the bullet and do a lime-only burn, but i always hate wasting the effort, and growing 200 papyrus is pretty easy. (if time-consuming). I've got a big pile of white sand just waiting to turn into fine glass.

Solving puzzles has caused me serious conflict. On the one hand i'd like to be nice to my fellow Egyptians and help them out. On the other hand, some of the puzzles, especially the Empty Hand puzzles, are completely lame. They show no effort whatsoever beyond acquiring the materials. In the end i can't bring myself to give such puzzles a Good rating, and don't. It is also somewhat ironic that the puzzles that i would like to rate highly are the ones i can't solve. Perhaps there should be a way to figure in "hours spent fiddling with it" to the score.
===Year 2, Shemu IV-15===
It's been awhile. A few notes of things i want to remember:
*I passed my 4th Cicada level with 53777 points 42 days ago. I think i have enough points to pass another level.
*I made two large gears and got another level of Structure Maintenance, for whatever that's worth. (now at 3)
*I'm planning to get another level of Structure Repair. Flint is cheap and i can grow papyrus. The paper will take a long time.

==My Petition==
Petition by Aku

Aku for Queen's Retreat Regional Garbage Collector

Oh, People of Queen's Retreat, hear the plea of Aku, a humble handmaiden of the region. Our public areas become blighted with abandoned flimsy brick racks, wood planes, and small distaffs. The people become discontent yet all efforts to legislate a solution fall short in some way, and the blight remains.

I petition to be granted the awesome power to salvage any of the three above items in Queen's Retreat which are not within a compound. I realize that this is a great power, and i understand the reluctance anyone might feel in granting it, unchecked, to a single individual. I pledge to use discretion and judgement, and that i am a thoughtful and civic-minded person with no intention of causing harm or unhappiness.

I believe this would do good for the region, clearing places for newcomers to experience Egypt in its beauty. I also believe that nothing short of this will alleviate the problem.

And since this isn't outrageous enough, i request that only the votes of citizens whose primary guild is in Queen's Retreat be counted.

Submitted for your consideration by Aku.

==Inclinations==
I don't have the time to spend grinding my way to the top, so i end up soloing a lot. I'm making an effort to be more social this time around. I like mentoring so if you want advice feel free to chat me and i'll see what i can do. If i don't answer right away i may be making glass or charcoal.

==History==
I played all of T1, sporadically in T2 and T3. I'm hoping to make it all the way through this one.

Aku: /* T */

Skill may be acquired at Level 2 for the following resources at the School of Worship:
*300 [[Thorns]]
*30 [[Cactus Sap]]

'''IMPORTANT'''
Teppy has modified the way herb stacking works, so the numbers you see are *not* the numbers you will neccesarily get.

'''News: 2009-03-10 17:18:37''' ''Apophis here. In going through some of the herb databases, I disovered a few that were not spawning correctly. This adds a few new herbs to discover, that will show up throughout Egypt in the coming days and weeks''

__TOC__
As an alternative you can look up by height and demension at [[Foraging by category]] until a permanent one is put in place--[[User:Wopper87|wopper87]] 05:28, 20 December 2008 (EST)
*'''Note: There has been a semi-automatic category system for the herbs since the start of this wiki at''' [[:Category:Herb|Category:Herb]] --[[User:Lejoni|Lejoni]]

I've restarted updating my [[Herbalist|herb ID page]], at http://tinyurl.com/69vapj .
* I'm ripping methods and images from this page, and I have a watch on this page, so it should stay reasonably current--[[User:Tlanthil|tlanthil]].
* Thank You Tlanthil, your herb page is so much quicker and faster to use, it's much appreciated - Tawret

Work has started on the herbs database. I'll be doing bits and bobs whenever I'm doing something tedious. I'll only link started pages here.

*[[Foraging_SingleStem|SingleStem]] Trees, this includes those with a main stem and several branching stems
*[[Foraging_StemLeaf|NoStem]] Only stems or Only leaves
*[[Foraging_Bulbs|Bulbs]] Plants with a big root ball at the bottom, from which any leaves or stems emerge
*[[Foraging_MultiStemGreen|MultiStemGreen|]] Multi Stem more than 50% green-to-bluegreen
*[[Foraging_SingleLeafColor|SingleLeafColor|]] Single Leaf less than 50% green-to-bluegreen
*[[Foraging_MultiLeaf_Ferns|MultiLeaf Ferns|]] For ferns with bulbs, see Bulbs section

== Harvesting ==
There are twelve different ways to harvest the herbs:
*1 Cut away the outer stem
*2 Harvest the Root pith
*3 Trim the Root fibres
*4 Snip the leaf stems
*5 Peel back the stem base
*6 Scrape off the stem pith
*7 Remove the Tap Root
*8 Pick out the seeds
*9 Crush the stems
*10 Pluck the leaves
*11 Squeeze out the sap
*12 Scrape away the leaf hairs

= List of Herbs =
Upload your image to the wiki and add a link like <nowiki>[[Image:Newherbs%24tagetese.jpg|thumb|256px|Tagetese]]</nowiki> in the third column. That will automatically resize the picture to a width of 256 pixels, independent of the size of the uploaded picture. Please turn off Time-of-day-lighting to make the images comparable, and drop a grass beside the herb before taking the shot to illustrate the size of the herb. See [[Help:Herb_Image]] for more information. '''also please keep in mind that its the HERB people want to get a good look at not you dancing!'''
(the herb will be relatively bigger in the thumbnail if it is only the herb in the cropped image.)

I am creating a Category based index of all the herbs: [[:Category:Herb|Index of Herbs]]
For it to work as I intend Images needs to have categories added to them.
Easiest is to do this while uploading them of course. to do this, when uploading a Image in the summary text box add: <nowiki>{{Herb_Image|NAME|METHOD|_SHAPE|_COLOR|_TEXTURE|_RELATION}}</nowiki> NAME being the name of the herb, METHOD the correct Method to harvest it. And the following pipes starting with an underscore ("_") being different categories, up to 6 of them. (See the index for possible categories)
You can create a new category, but first make sure it's not already existing category is suitable! (Categories once created can not be deleted.)

<div class="mw-warning">
you can also look at as a alternative by height and dimension at [[Foraging by category]] until a permanent one is put in place--[[User:Wopper87|wopper87]] 05:28, 20 December 2008 (EST)
</div>
<div class="mw-warning">
Examples:
* '''Known:''' <nowiki>{{Herb_Image|Blue Bottle Clover|Peel back the stem base|_SingleLeaf|_Blue|_Clover}}</nowiki>
* '''UnKnown:''' <nowiki>{{Herb_Image|Unknown|NOT 1,2|_MultiLeaf|_Yellow|_Striped}}</nowiki>

the Default Herb category is added by default, and the subsequent (pipes after Herb_Image|NAME|METHOD|) are Subs to Herb Category so ONLY type _SingleLeaf. NOT _Herb_SingleLeaf.
</div>

<div class="mw-warning">
Don't add links to paysites like photobucket, this page is used very frequently and will very quickly use up your download capacity. 
Please make sure the images you upload are from T4, and not recycled pictures from T3, as many of the colors have shifted dramatically

Foraging

2009-09-02T23:36:17Z

Aku: /* B */

Skill may be acquired at Level 2 for the following resources at the School of Worship:
*300 [[Thorns]]
*30 [[Cactus Sap]]

'''IMPORTANT'''
Teppy has modified the way herb stacking works, so the numbers you see are *not* the numbers you will neccesarily get.

'''News: 2009-03-10 17:18:37''' ''Apophis here. In going through some of the herb databases, I disovered a few that were not spawning correctly. This adds a few new herbs to discover, that will show up throughout Egypt in the coming days and weeks''

__TOC__
As an alternative you can look up by height and demension at [[Foraging by category]] until a permanent one is put in place--[[User:Wopper87|wopper87]] 05:28, 20 December 2008 (EST)
*'''Note: There has been a semi-automatic category system for the herbs since the start of this wiki at''' [[:Category:Herb|Category:Herb]] --[[User:Lejoni|Lejoni]]

I've restarted updating my [[Herbalist|herb ID page]], at http://tinyurl.com/69vapj .
* I'm ripping methods and images from this page, and I have a watch on this page, so it should stay reasonably current--[[User:Tlanthil|tlanthil]].
* Thank You Tlanthil, your herb page is so much quicker and faster to use, it's much appreciated - Tawret

Work has started on the herbs database. I'll be doing bits and bobs whenever I'm doing something tedious. I'll only link started pages here.

*[[Foraging_SingleStem|SingleStem]] Trees, this includes those with a main stem and several branching stems
*[[Foraging_StemLeaf|NoStem]] Only stems or Only leaves
*[[Foraging_Bulbs|Bulbs]] Plants with a big root ball at the bottom, from which any leaves or stems emerge
*[[Foraging_MultiStemGreen|MultiStemGreen|]] Multi Stem more than 50% green-to-bluegreen
*[[Foraging_SingleLeafColor|SingleLeafColor|]] Single Leaf less than 50% green-to-bluegreen
*[[Foraging_MultiLeaf_Ferns|MultiLeaf Ferns|]] For ferns with bulbs, see Bulbs section

== Harvesting ==
There are twelve different ways to harvest the herbs:
*1 Cut away the outer stem
*2 Harvest the Root pith
*3 Trim the Root fibres
*4 Snip the leaf stems
*5 Peel back the stem base
*6 Scrape off the stem pith
*7 Remove the Tap Root
*8 Pick out the seeds
*9 Crush the stems
*10 Pluck the leaves
*11 Squeeze out the sap
*12 Scrape away the leaf hairs

= List of Herbs =
Upload your image to the wiki and add a link like <nowiki>[[Image:Newherbs%24tagetese.jpg|thumb|256px|Tagetese]]</nowiki> in the third column. That will automatically resize the picture to a width of 256 pixels, independent of the size of the uploaded picture. Please turn off Time-of-day-lighting to make the images comparable, and drop a grass beside the herb before taking the shot to illustrate the size of the herb. See [[Help:Herb_Image]] for more information. '''also please keep in mind that its the HERB people want to get a good look at not you dancing!'''
(the herb will be relatively bigger in the thumbnail if it is only the herb in the cropped image.)

I am creating a Category based index of all the herbs: [[:Category:Herb|Index of Herbs]]
For it to work as I intend Images needs to have categories added to them.
Easiest is to do this while uploading them of course. to do this, when uploading a Image in the summary text box add: <nowiki>{{Herb_Image|NAME|METHOD|_SHAPE|_COLOR|_TEXTURE|_RELATION}}</nowiki> NAME being the name of the herb, METHOD the correct Method to harvest it. And the following pipes starting with an underscore ("_") being different categories, up to 6 of them. (See the index for possible categories)
You can create a new category, but first make sure it's not already existing category is suitable! (Categories once created can not be deleted.)

<div class="mw-warning">
you can also look at as a alternative by height and dimension at [[Foraging by category]] until a permanent one is put in place--[[User:Wopper87|wopper87]] 05:28, 20 December 2008 (EST)
</div>
<div class="mw-warning">
Examples:
* '''Known:''' <nowiki>{{Herb_Image|Blue Bottle Clover|Peel back the stem base|_SingleLeaf|_Blue|_Clover}}</nowiki>
* '''UnKnown:''' <nowiki>{{Herb_Image|Unknown|NOT 1,2|_MultiLeaf|_Yellow|_Striped}}</nowiki>

the Default Herb category is added by default, and the subsequent (pipes after Herb_Image|NAME|METHOD|) are Subs to Herb Category so ONLY type _SingleLeaf. NOT _Herb_SingleLeaf.
</div>

<div class="mw-warning">
Don't add links to paysites like photobucket, this page is used very frequently and will very quickly use up your download capacity. 
Please make sure the images you upload are from T4, and not recycled pictures from T3, as many of the colors have shifted dramatically

Foraging

2009-09-02T03:57:13Z

Aku: /* F */

Skill may be acquired at Level 2 for the following resources at the School of Worship:
*300 [[Thorns]]
*30 [[Cactus Sap]]

'''IMPORTANT'''
Teppy has modified the way herb stacking works, so the numbers you see are *not* the numbers you will neccesarily get.

'''News: 2009-03-10 17:18:37''' ''Apophis here. In going through some of the herb databases, I disovered a few that were not spawning correctly. This adds a few new herbs to discover, that will show up throughout Egypt in the coming days and weeks''

__TOC__
As an alternative you can look up by height and demension at [[Foraging by category]] until a permanent one is put in place--[[User:Wopper87|wopper87]] 05:28, 20 December 2008 (EST)
*'''Note: There has been a semi-automatic category system for the herbs since the start of this wiki at''' [[:Category:Herb|Category:Herb]] --[[User:Lejoni|Lejoni]]

I've restarted updating my [[Herbalist|herb ID page]], at http://tinyurl.com/69vapj .
* I'm ripping methods and images from this page, and I have a watch on this page, so it should stay reasonably current--[[User:Tlanthil|tlanthil]].
* Thank You Tlanthil, your herb page is so much quicker and faster to use, it's much appreciated - Tawret

Work has started on the herbs database. I'll be doing bits and bobs whenever I'm doing something tedious. I'll only link started pages here.

*[[Foraging_SingleStem|SingleStem]] Trees, this includes those with a main stem and several branching stems
*[[Foraging_StemLeaf|NoStem]] Only stems or Only leaves
*[[Foraging_Bulbs|Bulbs]] Plants with a big root ball at the bottom, from which any leaves or stems emerge
*[[Foraging_MultiStemGreen|MultiStemGreen|]] Multi Stem more than 50% green-to-bluegreen
*[[Foraging_SingleLeafColor|SingleLeafColor|]] Single Leaf less than 50% green-to-bluegreen
*[[Foraging_MultiLeaf_Ferns|MultiLeaf Ferns|]] For ferns with bulbs, see Bulbs section

== Harvesting ==
There are twelve different ways to harvest the herbs:
*1 Cut away the outer stem
*2 Harvest the Root pith
*3 Trim the Root fibres
*4 Snip the leaf stems
*5 Peel back the stem base
*6 Scrape off the stem pith
*7 Remove the Tap Root
*8 Pick out the seeds
*9 Crush the stems
*10 Pluck the leaves
*11 Squeeze out the sap
*12 Scrape away the leaf hairs

= List of Herbs =
Upload your image to the wiki and add a link like <nowiki>[[Image:Newherbs%24tagetese.jpg|thumb|256px|Tagetese]]</nowiki> in the third column. That will automatically resize the picture to a width of 256 pixels, independent of the size of the uploaded picture. Please turn off Time-of-day-lighting to make the images comparable, and drop a grass beside the herb before taking the shot to illustrate the size of the herb. See [[Help:Herb_Image]] for more information. '''also please keep in mind that its the HERB people want to get a good look at not you dancing!'''
(the herb will be relatively bigger in the thumbnail if it is only the herb in the cropped image.)

I am creating a Category based index of all the herbs: [[:Category:Herb|Index of Herbs]]
For it to work as I intend Images needs to have categories added to them.
Easiest is to do this while uploading them of course. to do this, when uploading a Image in the summary text box add: <nowiki>{{Herb_Image|NAME|METHOD|_SHAPE|_COLOR|_TEXTURE|_RELATION}}</nowiki> NAME being the name of the herb, METHOD the correct Method to harvest it. And the following pipes starting with an underscore ("_") being different categories, up to 6 of them. (See the index for possible categories)
You can create a new category, but first make sure it's not already existing category is suitable! (Categories once created can not be deleted.)

<div class="mw-warning">
you can also look at as a alternative by height and dimension at [[Foraging by category]] until a permanent one is put in place--[[User:Wopper87|wopper87]] 05:28, 20 December 2008 (EST)
</div>
<div class="mw-warning">
Examples:
* '''Known:''' <nowiki>{{Herb_Image|Blue Bottle Clover|Peel back the stem base|_SingleLeaf|_Blue|_Clover}}</nowiki>
* '''UnKnown:''' <nowiki>{{Herb_Image|Unknown|NOT 1,2|_MultiLeaf|_Yellow|_Striped}}</nowiki>

the Default Herb category is added by default, and the subsequent (pipes after Herb_Image|NAME|METHOD|) are Subs to Herb Category so ONLY type _SingleLeaf. NOT _Herb_SingleLeaf.
</div>

<div class="mw-warning">
Don't add links to paysites like photobucket, this page is used very frequently and will very quickly use up your download capacity. 
Please make sure the images you upload are from T4, and not recycled pictures from T3, as many of the colors have shifted dramatically

Foraging

2009-09-02T03:56:19Z

Aku: /* E */

Skill may be acquired at Level 2 for the following resources at the School of Worship:
*300 [[Thorns]]
*30 [[Cactus Sap]]

'''IMPORTANT'''
Teppy has modified the way herb stacking works, so the numbers you see are *not* the numbers you will neccesarily get.

'''News: 2009-03-10 17:18:37''' ''Apophis here. In going through some of the herb databases, I disovered a few that were not spawning correctly. This adds a few new herbs to discover, that will show up throughout Egypt in the coming days and weeks''

__TOC__
As an alternative you can look up by height and demension at [[Foraging by category]] until a permanent one is put in place--[[User:Wopper87|wopper87]] 05:28, 20 December 2008 (EST)
*'''Note: There has been a semi-automatic category system for the herbs since the start of this wiki at''' [[:Category:Herb|Category:Herb]] --[[User:Lejoni|Lejoni]]

I've restarted updating my [[Herbalist|herb ID page]], at http://tinyurl.com/69vapj .
* I'm ripping methods and images from this page, and I have a watch on this page, so it should stay reasonably current--[[User:Tlanthil|tlanthil]].
* Thank You Tlanthil, your herb page is so much quicker and faster to use, it's much appreciated - Tawret

Work has started on the herbs database. I'll be doing bits and bobs whenever I'm doing something tedious. I'll only link started pages here.

*[[Foraging_SingleStem|SingleStem]] Trees, this includes those with a main stem and several branching stems
*[[Foraging_StemLeaf|NoStem]] Only stems or Only leaves
*[[Foraging_Bulbs|Bulbs]] Plants with a big root ball at the bottom, from which any leaves or stems emerge
*[[Foraging_MultiStemGreen|MultiStemGreen|]] Multi Stem more than 50% green-to-bluegreen
*[[Foraging_SingleLeafColor|SingleLeafColor|]] Single Leaf less than 50% green-to-bluegreen
*[[Foraging_MultiLeaf_Ferns|MultiLeaf Ferns|]] For ferns with bulbs, see Bulbs section

== Harvesting ==
There are twelve different ways to harvest the herbs:
*1 Cut away the outer stem
*2 Harvest the Root pith
*3 Trim the Root fibres
*4 Snip the leaf stems
*5 Peel back the stem base
*6 Scrape off the stem pith
*7 Remove the Tap Root
*8 Pick out the seeds
*9 Crush the stems
*10 Pluck the leaves
*11 Squeeze out the sap
*12 Scrape away the leaf hairs

= List of Herbs =
Upload your image to the wiki and add a link like <nowiki>[[Image:Newherbs%24tagetese.jpg|thumb|256px|Tagetese]]</nowiki> in the third column. That will automatically resize the picture to a width of 256 pixels, independent of the size of the uploaded picture. Please turn off Time-of-day-lighting to make the images comparable, and drop a grass beside the herb before taking the shot to illustrate the size of the herb. See [[Help:Herb_Image]] for more information. '''also please keep in mind that its the HERB people want to get a good look at not you dancing!'''
(the herb will be relatively bigger in the thumbnail if it is only the herb in the cropped image.)

I am creating a Category based index of all the herbs: [[:Category:Herb|Index of Herbs]]
For it to work as I intend Images needs to have categories added to them.
Easiest is to do this while uploading them of course. to do this, when uploading a Image in the summary text box add: <nowiki>{{Herb_Image|NAME|METHOD|_SHAPE|_COLOR|_TEXTURE|_RELATION}}</nowiki> NAME being the name of the herb, METHOD the correct Method to harvest it. And the following pipes starting with an underscore ("_") being different categories, up to 6 of them. (See the index for possible categories)
You can create a new category, but first make sure it's not already existing category is suitable! (Categories once created can not be deleted.)

<div class="mw-warning">
you can also look at as a alternative by height and dimension at [[Foraging by category]] until a permanent one is put in place--[[User:Wopper87|wopper87]] 05:28, 20 December 2008 (EST)
</div>
<div class="mw-warning">
Examples:
* '''Known:''' <nowiki>{{Herb_Image|Blue Bottle Clover|Peel back the stem base|_SingleLeaf|_Blue|_Clover}}</nowiki>
* '''UnKnown:''' <nowiki>{{Herb_Image|Unknown|NOT 1,2|_MultiLeaf|_Yellow|_Striped}}</nowiki>

the Default Herb category is added by default, and the subsequent (pipes after Herb_Image|NAME|METHOD|) are Subs to Herb Category so ONLY type _SingleLeaf. NOT _Herb_SingleLeaf.
</div>

<div class="mw-warning">
Don't add links to paysites like photobucket, this page is used very frequently and will very quickly use up your download capacity. 
Please make sure the images you upload are from T4, and not recycled pictures from T3, as many of the colors have shifted dramatically

Guides/Incense/Resin Additive Incense

2009-08-29T15:01:37Z

Aku: /* grid */

= Data by Resin Type =
The pair of attributes by each type is a best guess of "destination" based on testing.

To test a resin, add 10 drops, start a batch, test, add 10, test etc until the Q remains stationary/near enough stationary.

It seems that you ned to 'pre-load' the lab with the resin *before* you start testing it, else it sinks down past 0. This would infer that it uses the last batch as a relative point to start at. Anyone got any ideas on how to test that?

*'Pre-loading' resin is not necessary to determine the final stats of the resin. What effect, if any, that preloading has is still to be determined. I've also seen no evidence to suggest that there is a residual effect which influences the starting point. It's an interesting theory, but I wouldn't worry about it for the purposes of testing final stats. Incense quality falling to 0 is a factor of scent, initial quality, and how far off the starting stats are from the final stats -- not a failure to 'pre-load.' --[[User:Inarus|Inarus]] 17:48, 11 March 2009 (EST)

* Would pre-loading correctly increase the accuracy of the starting point? Say it goes -100->500 by adding once the incense batch has been started, and you need to 'pre-load' to get those extra point? I agree that the startpoint idea is pretty null, but that ability has to be there for something.

(Feel free to add unlisted resins even if no data exists yet.)

Foraging

2009-08-28T02:10:00Z

Aku: /* D */

Skill may be acquired at Level 2 for the following resources at the School of Worship:
*300 [[Thorns]]
*30 [[Cactus Sap]]

'''IMPORTANT'''
Teppy has modified the way herb stacking works, so the numbers you see are *not* the numbers you will neccesarily get.

'''News: 2009-03-10 17:18:37''' ''Apophis here. In going through some of the herb databases, I disovered a few that were not spawning correctly. This adds a few new herbs to discover, that will show up throughout Egypt in the coming days and weeks''

__TOC__
As an alternative you can look up by height and demension at [[Foraging by category]] until a permanent one is put in place--[[User:Wopper87|wopper87]] 05:28, 20 December 2008 (EST)
*'''Note: There has been a semi-automatic category system for the herbs since the start of this wiki at''' [[:Category:Herb|Category:Herb]] --[[User:Lejoni|Lejoni]]

I've restarted updating my [[Herbalist|herb ID page]], at http://tinyurl.com/69vapj .
* I'm ripping methods and images from this page, and I have a watch on this page, so it should stay reasonably current--[[User:Tlanthil|tlanthil]].
* Thank You Tlanthil, your herb page is so much quicker and faster to use, it's much appreciated - Tawret

Work has started on the herbs database. I'll be doing bits and bobs whenever I'm doing something tedious. I'll only link started pages here.

*[[Foraging_SingleStem|SingleStem]] Trees, this includes those with a main stem and several branching stems
*[[Foraging_StemLeaf|NoStem]] Only stems or Only leaves
*[[Foraging_Bulbs|Bulbs]] Plants with a big root ball at the bottom, from which any leaves or stems emerge
*[[Foraging_MultiStemGreen|MultiStemGreen|]] Multi Stem more than 50% green-to-bluegreen
*[[Foraging_SingleLeafColor|SingleLeafColor|]] Single Leaf less than 50% green-to-bluegreen
*[[Foraging_MultiLeaf_Ferns|MultiLeaf Ferns|]] For ferns with bulbs, see Bulbs section

== Harvesting ==
There are twelve different ways to harvest the herbs:
*1 Cut away the outer stem
*2 Harvest the Root pith
*3 Trim the Root fibres
*4 Snip the leaf stems
*5 Peel back the stem base
*6 Scrape off the stem pith
*7 Remove the Tap Root
*8 Pick out the seeds
*9 Crush the stems
*10 Pluck the leaves
*11 Squeeze out the sap
*12 Scrape away the leaf hairs

= List of Herbs =
Upload your image to the wiki and add a link like <nowiki>[[Image:Newherbs%24tagetese.jpg|thumb|256px|Tagetese]]</nowiki> in the third column. That will automatically resize the picture to a width of 256 pixels, independent of the size of the uploaded picture. Please turn off Time-of-day-lighting to make the images comparable, and drop a grass beside the herb before taking the shot to illustrate the size of the herb. See [[Help:Herb_Image]] for more information. '''also please keep in mind that its the HERB people want to get a good look at not you dancing!'''
(the herb will be relatively bigger in the thumbnail if it is only the herb in the cropped image.)

I am creating a Category based index of all the herbs: [[:Category:Herb|Index of Herbs]]
For it to work as I intend Images needs to have categories added to them.
Easiest is to do this while uploading them of course. to do this, when uploading a Image in the summary text box add: <nowiki>{{Herb_Image|NAME|METHOD|_SHAPE|_COLOR|_TEXTURE|_RELATION}}</nowiki> NAME being the name of the herb, METHOD the correct Method to harvest it. And the following pipes starting with an underscore ("_") being different categories, up to 6 of them. (See the index for possible categories)
You can create a new category, but first make sure it's not already existing category is suitable! (Categories once created can not be deleted.)

<div class="mw-warning">
you can also look at as a alternative by height and dimension at [[Foraging by category]] until a permanent one is put in place--[[User:Wopper87|wopper87]] 05:28, 20 December 2008 (EST)
</div>
<div class="mw-warning">
Examples:
* '''Known:''' <nowiki>{{Herb_Image|Blue Bottle Clover|Peel back the stem base|_SingleLeaf|_Blue|_Clover}}</nowiki>
* '''UnKnown:''' <nowiki>{{Herb_Image|Unknown|NOT 1,2|_MultiLeaf|_Yellow|_Striped}}</nowiki>

the Default Herb category is added by default, and the subsequent (pipes after Herb_Image|NAME|METHOD|) are Subs to Herb Category so ONLY type _SingleLeaf. NOT _Herb_SingleLeaf.
</div>

<div class="mw-warning">
Don't add links to paysites like photobucket, this page is used very frequently and will very quickly use up your download capacity. 
Please make sure the images you upload are from T4, and not recycled pictures from T3, as many of the colors have shifted dramatically

Foraging

2009-07-07T02:12:14Z

Aku: /* D */

Skill may be acquired at Level 2 for the following resources at the School of Worship:
*300 [[Thorns]]
*30 [[Cactus Sap]]

'''IMPORTANT'''
Teppy has modified the way herb stacking works, so the numbers you see are *not* the numbers you will neccesarily get.

'''News: 2009-03-10 17:18:37''' ''Apophis here. In going through some of the herb databases, I disovered a few that were not spawning correctly. This adds a few new herbs to discover, that will show up throughout Egypt in the coming days and weeks''

__TOC__
As an alternative you can look up by height and demension at [[Foraging by category]] until a permanent one is put in place--[[User:Wopper87|wopper87]] 05:28, 20 December 2008 (EST)
*'''Note: There has been a semi-automatic category system for the herbs since the start of this wiki at''' [[:Category:Herb|Category:Herb]] --[[User:Lejoni|Lejoni]]

I've restarted updating my [[Herbalist|herb ID page]], at http://tinyurl.com/69vapj .
* I'm ripping methods and images from this page, and I have a watch on this page, so it should stay reasonably current--[[User:Tlanthil|tlanthil]].
* Thank You Tlanthil, your herb page is so much quicker and faster to use, it's much appreciated - Tawret

Work has started on the herbs database. I'll be doing bits and bobs whenever I'm doing something tedious. I'll only link started pages here.

*[[Foraging_SingleStem|SingleStem]] Trees, this includes those with a main stem and several branching stems
*[[Foraging_StemLeaf|NoStem]] Only stems or Only leaves
*[[Foraging_Bulbs|Bulbs]] Plants with a big root ball at the bottom, from which any leaves or stems emerge
*[[Foraging_MultiStemGreen|MultiStemGreen|]] Multi Stem more than 50% green-to-bluegreen
*[[Foraging_SingleLeafColor|SingleLeafColor|]] Single Leaf less than 50% green-to-bluegreen
*[[Foraging_MultiLeaf_Ferns|MultiLeaf Ferns|]] For ferns with bulbs, see Bulbs section

== Harvesting ==
There are twelve different ways to harvest the herbs:
*1 Cut away the outer stem
*2 Harvest the Root pith
*3 Trim the Root fibres
*4 Snip the leaf stems
*5 Peel back the stem base
*6 Scrape off the stem pith
*7 Remove the Tap Root
*8 Pick out the seeds
*9 Crush the stems
*10 Pluck the leaves
*11 Squeeze out the sap
*12 Scrape away the leaf hairs

= List of Herbs =
Upload your image to the wiki and add a link like <nowiki>[[Image:Newherbs%24tagetese.jpg|thumb|256px|Tagetese]]</nowiki> in the third column. That will automatically resize the picture to a width of 256 pixels, independent of the size of the uploaded picture. Please turn off Time-of-day-lighting to make the images comparable, and drop a grass beside the herb before taking the shot to illustrate the size of the herb. See [[Help:Herb_Image]] for more information. '''also please keep in mind that its the HERB people want to get a good look at not you dancing!'''
(the herb will be relatively bigger in the thumbnail if it is only the herb in the cropped image.)

I am creating a Category based index of all the herbs: [[:Category:Herb|Index of Herbs]]
For it to work as I intend Images needs to have categories added to them.
Easiest is to do this while uploading them of course. to do this, when uploading a Image in the summary text box add: <nowiki>{{Herb_Image|NAME|METHOD|_SHAPE|_COLOR|_TEXTURE|_RELATION}}</nowiki> NAME being the name of the herb, METHOD the correct Method to harvest it. And the following pipes starting with an underscore ("_") being different categories, up to 6 of them. (See the index for possible categories)
You can create a new category, but first make sure it's not already existing category is suitable! (Categories once created can not be deleted.)

<div class="mw-warning">
you can also look at as a alternative by height and dimension at [[Foraging by category]] until a permanent one is put in place--[[User:Wopper87|wopper87]] 05:28, 20 December 2008 (EST)
</div>
<div class="mw-warning">
Examples:
* '''Known:''' <nowiki>{{Herb_Image|Blue Bottle Clover|Peel back the stem base|_SingleLeaf|_Blue|_Clover}}</nowiki>
* '''UnKnown:''' <nowiki>{{Herb_Image|Unknown|NOT 1,2|_MultiLeaf|_Yellow|_Striped}}</nowiki>

the Default Herb category is added by default, and the subsequent (pipes after Herb_Image|NAME|METHOD|) are Subs to Herb Category so ONLY type _SingleLeaf. NOT _Herb_SingleLeaf.
</div>

<div class="mw-warning">
Don't add links to paysites like photobucket, this page is used very frequently and will very quickly use up your download capacity. 
Please make sure the images you upload are from T4, and not recycled pictures from T3, as many of the colors have shifted dramatically

Foraging

2009-06-14T08:45:26Z

Aku: /* A */

Skill may be acquired at Level 2 for the following resources at the School of Worship:
*300 [[Thorns]]
*30 [[Cactus Sap]]

'''IMPORTANT'''
Teppy has modified the way herb stacking works, so the numbers you see are *not* the numbers you will neccesarily get.

'''News: 2009-03-10 17:18:37''' ''Apophis here. In going through some of the herb databases, I disovered a few that were not spawning correctly. This adds a few new herbs to discover, that will show up throughout Egypt in the coming days and weeks''

__TOC__
As an alternative you can look up by height and demension at [[Foraging by category]] until a permanent one is put in place--[[User:Wopper87|wopper87]] 05:28, 20 December 2008 (EST)
*'''Note: There has been a semi-automatic category system for the herbs since the start of this wiki at''' [[:Category:Herb|Category:Herb]] --[[User:Lejoni|Lejoni]]

I've restarted updating my [[Herbalist|herb ID page]], at http://tinyurl.com/69vapj .
* I'm ripping methods and images from this page, and I have a watch on this page, so it should stay reasonably current--[[User:Tlanthil|tlanthil]].
* Thank You Tlanthil, your herb page is so much quicker and faster to use, it's much appreciated - Tawret

Work has started on the herbs database. I'll be doing bits and bobs whenever I'm doing something tedious. I'll only link started pages here.

*[[Foraging_SingleStem|SingleStem]] Trees, this includes those with a main stem and several branching stems
*[[Foraging_StemLeaf|NoStem]] Only stems or Only leaves
*[[Foraging_Bulbs|Bulbs]] Plants with a big root ball at the bottom, from which any leaves or stems emerge
*[[Foraging_MultiStemGreen|MultiStemGreen|]] Multi Stem more than 50% green-to-bluegreen
*[[Foraging_SingleLeafColor|SingleLeafColor|]] Single Leaf less than 50% green-to-bluegreen
*[[Foraging_MultiLeaf_Ferns|MultiLeaf Ferns|]] For ferns with bulbs, see Bulbs section

== Harvesting ==
There are twelve different ways to harvest the herbs:
*1 Cut away the outer stem
*2 Harvest the Root pith
*3 Trim the Root fibres
*4 Snip the leaf stems
*5 Peel back the stem base
*6 Scrape off the stem pith
*7 Remove the Tap Root
*8 Pick out the seeds
*9 Crush the stems
*10 Pluck the leaves
*11 Squeeze out the sap
*12 Scrape away the leaf hairs

= List of Herbs =
Upload your image to the wiki and add a link like <nowiki>[[Image:Newherbs%24tagetese.jpg|thumb|256px|Tagetese]]</nowiki> in the third column. That will automatically resize the picture to a width of 256 pixels, independent of the size of the uploaded picture. Please turn off Time-of-day-lighting to make the images comparable, and drop a grass beside the herb before taking the shot to illustrate the size of the herb. See [[Help:Herb_Image]] for more information. '''also please keep in mind that its the HERB people want to get a good look at not you dancing!'''
(the herb will be relatively bigger in the thumbnail if it is only the herb in the cropped image.)

I am creating a Category based index of all the herbs: [[:Category:Herb|Index of Herbs]]
For it to work as I intend Images needs to have categories added to them.
Easiest is to do this while uploading them of course. to do this, when uploading a Image in the summary text box add: <nowiki>{{Herb_Image|NAME|METHOD|_SHAPE|_COLOR|_TEXTURE|_RELATION}}</nowiki> NAME being the name of the herb, METHOD the correct Method to harvest it. And the following pipes starting with an underscore ("_") being different categories, up to 6 of them. (See the index for possible categories)
You can create a new category, but first make sure it's not already existing category is suitable! (Categories once created can not be deleted.)

<div class="mw-warning">
you can also look at as a alternative by height and dimension at [[Foraging by category]] until a permanent one is put in place--[[User:Wopper87|wopper87]] 05:28, 20 December 2008 (EST)
</div>
<div class="mw-warning">
Examples:
* '''Known:''' <nowiki>{{Herb_Image|Blue Bottle Clover|Peel back the stem base|_SingleLeaf|_Blue|_Clover}}</nowiki>
* '''UnKnown:''' <nowiki>{{Herb_Image|Unknown|NOT 1,2|_MultiLeaf|_Yellow|_Striped}}</nowiki>

the Default Herb category is added by default, and the subsequent (pipes after Herb_Image|NAME|METHOD|) are Subs to Herb Category so ONLY type _SingleLeaf. NOT _Herb_SingleLeaf.
</div>

<div class="mw-warning">
Don't add links to paysites like photobucket, this page is used very frequently and will very quickly use up your download capacity. 
Please make sure the images you upload are from T4, and not recycled pictures from T3, as many of the colors have shifted dramatically

Aku: /* Akhet II-15 */

==Home==
My home is in Queen's Refuge at 499, -6205. I've joined Mixed Nuts, the Queen's Refuge public works guild so it looks like i'll be hanging around for the time being. Much of the equipment in my compound is public.
*Public equipment
**2 Student Forges with Nail Molds, one has pinch rollers and an extrusion plate.
**1 Master Forge, unimproved
**10 True Kilns
**2 Charcoal Hearths
**15 Improved Brick Racks
**1 Basic Carpenter's Bench (no upgrades)
**1 Student's Casting Box
**1 Anvil (bring your own hammers)
**1 Compression Furnaces
**1 Gyration Cell
**1 Water Mine
**1 Reactory, unimproved

I reserve the right to turn any of these back to "Private Use" if i'm in the middle of a project. There is a box next to the charcoal hearths for any donations that anyone would like to make. I'll gratefully accept anything (except mud and sand :-) but don't feel obligated; I'm a big believer in "paying forward".

==Status==
Level 13
*STR 3, DEX 3, SPD 1, everything else 0.
*Initiate of Leadership
**Demi-Pharoah - i signed up to participate in the next DP election when i finally figured out that to pass the principle i have to participate in 3 rounds of the election, meaning (most likely) round 1 in 3 separate elections, rather than making it to the third round in any given election.
**Mentoring - i've got the buildings but haven't seen many new folks, so i haven't been spending much time on Welcome Island, so i haven't seen many new folks...
*Initiate of Body
**Acrobat - (passed Principle) have AI, BJ, CS, CPU, IP, JS, KU, RP, SB, SF, SQ, TT, and WS, have taught 52.
**Cicadas - (passed Principle) I actually got a speed point.
**Safari - Got 3 frogs, 3 otters, 2 gazelles an ibis, 3 rat, and a fennec. Need to drop a rabbit and build a fennec trap to pass Principle.
*Initiate of Architecture
**Obelisk - passed Principle, and i put myself in the queue for a Metallic Obelisk of 21 cubits. I have the materials.
*Initiate of Harmony
**Test of the Prophet (principle)
*Initiate of Art & Science - built statue at my compound which only has 13 votes, and finally got impatient and built, opened, and tore down a second sculpture to pass the principle.
*Initiate of Thought
**Pathmaker (Principle)
*Worship -
**Principle of Marriage

Rhythmic Strength
*L3 - in 100 picks i got 1 about 7 times, otherwise got 2.
*L4 - in 100 picks i got 3 about 10 times, otherwise got 2.
*L5 - in 100 picks i got 3 almost half the time, otherwise got 2
*L6 - in 100 picks i got 3 80 times and 2 20 times
*L7 - in 100 picks i got 3 83 times and 4 17 times

==Current Projects==
Having the attention span of a mayfly has its disadvantages, but a short "to do" list is not one of them.

===Blacksmithing===
I am currently questing after the 8K shovel and hatchet. I can pretty reliably make a 7.5K one of each (and if anyone wants one send me a tell in-game and we can haggle about price) but once i get there the screwing around i do just makes it worse. Of course i've only been practicing for a day so i am quite hopeful.

Then, of course, i'll start questing for 9K...

Resin wedges, on the other hand, are weird, or at least different enough from the other two that my threashholds seem to be 1K lower.

===Mentoring===
I've been back to Welcome Island several times. I've even helped some people. :-) One or two pledged me a Mentor point but so far no one has actually registered any. Oh, well. It's disappointing but that isn't really why i like Mentoring.

===General Metalworking===
I'm slowly building up the stock to build a blast furnace and reactory of my own. To that end i've been trading with The Goods, a fine institution that i can't recommend highly enough. (Though the new "donation phase" thing is a bit off-putting; i don't see anyone who's not a member of The Goods donating a large gear for free, but perhaps i'm being uncharitable.) I've gotten the concrete and topaz, and will be trading for some tin to try to make steel in the Guild reactory so that i can make the sheeting.

I've become familiar with the reactory and have gotten 100% on steel, brass, bronze, and Moon Steel. It takes me about 6 tries to get a useable amount of metal.

===Skills I am sorta working on===
*Salvage Techniques 4 - my water mine is slowly generating cuttables.

===Social Things===
I'm trying to pay attention to things like digs, acro, and other activties that can only be done with crowds. I'm not entirely succeeding...

==Water Mine Data==
22 degrees, one full winding, 3 Amethysts, 2 Citrine, 1 Jade, 1 Sunstone, 1 Turquoise, 1 Small Quartz, 1 Medium Quartz, 1 Medium Ruby

Since then i've had better luck at 20 or 21 degrees.

==My Semi-Blog==
I'll put my observations here when i am moved to record them, which won't be regularly.

==='''Year 1, Shemu II-24'''===
I've made a lot of progress on my gyration cell. The Moon Steel turned out to be less troublesome than i had planned for, and in fact i've got all 50 smelted. I should be able to get the cement i'll need from The Goods if i can't find it locally. The gravel will be a nuisance as i've run out of Medium Stones. Mostly what's left is mining a huge pile of copper and tin to make the sheeting and then making the sheeting. I may have to put pinch rollers in my second Student Forge to speed up the process.
==='''Year 1 Shemu II-28'''===
I got my second Navigation point for 20 glass rods. I'll set it at the mining compound which i will build next to the guild one. Then i can start mining copper in earnest. I've found an existing gyration cell that i can borrow which will speed things up immensely.
==='''Year 1 Shemu III-10'''===
I finished mining and smelting the copper i neeed for the sheets. Now i just have to forge them. I may have to invest in two more pinch rollers to upgrade another student forge for sheets but that means more mining.

I spent a couple of hours on Welcome Island. Hardly anyone responded to my offer of help though i did have a lively exchange with one fellow who should do fine and a rather odd exchange with another, the second person being unable to understand that i was an experienced player who was chosing to help out newcomers. ("Why r u here?") Overall it was satisfying, but i'm not pushy enough to translate any of it into Mentor points. There is a fuzzy line between helping out a newcomer and being bossy. I err firmly on the offer-only-when-asked side. I'm also "only" on for an hour or two a day at most, so i'm not an ideal candidate for a Mentor. So it goes.

Level 12 continues to elude me. I'll have to investigate Towers again, and start putting myself forward for the Worship init. Acrobatics is progressing slowly but surely and will continue that way since i don't have the fortitude to hang around for one of the massive Acro lines. I like the "acro blobs" better, and they happen periodically around the QR chariot stop, which i can see from my compound.
==='''Year 1 Shemu III-14'''===
I had a run-in with server lag. I was tending my firepit when everything froze for several seconds. When it unlocked i poked the fire but it was too late and the fire went out. It had been burning less than five minutes so in spite of having a full load of papyrus, flax, and leeks i got 12 ash. I was moderately bummed out.

To console myself i set up for a second firepit run, growing 300 flax with some 2/2/2 seeds (which have already been surpassed) and making a papyrus run. During the run i bumped into my friend SamAdams, who helped gather my papyrus, so i stayed around and helped him gather his. He then let me into a small guild he's in which was great because they have a bunch of the cool buildings (including the gyration cell i've been borrowing). I immediately made 600 charcoal in their charcoal oven, in spite of the continued lag. (I did have to abandon my efforts to run the charcoal hearth at the same time.)

This failure to advance in levels is getting to be a problem. I was reviewing my progress on my personal gyration cell and realized that i can't even build it myself until i hit Level 13 because i need Metallurgy III. I think i'm going to have to stifle my urge to own the high-tech production buildings and spend some time leveling. With that in mind i put my name on the Metallic Obelisk queue at size 22. I've got two weeks to come up with the materials. The only one that looks hard is the mirror (assuming size 22 still needs only one; i haven't checked the exact requirements yet). The rest i can either make myself or purchase at The Goods without too much trouble. I wonder if i can get my Sheet Glass skill to 7 in two weeks?
==='''Year 1 Shemu III-16'''===
Yesterday was a good day.

I made excellent progress in collecting materials for my hypothetical Metallic Obelisk. I loaded up my Normal Glass furnace with a full 50 units of melted glass and started making glass sheets. It certainly started out grimly. I cracked the first seven sheets i attempted, though in the process i rose to skill 4. Then i succeeded once, and cracked another. By the time i had made 30 attempts i had 18 sheets of glass, having cracked 11 and lost one to over-fueling my bench. I was quite pleased. I hadn't known how many sheets i would have to crack for each skill level, but i hadn't expected to get to skill 6 in one session. I imagine that last level will be quite tedious to achieve, but it looks like it's doable in my time frame.

On the subject of the glazier's bench i have discovered, or reasoned out, a small refinement to the published technique. I have noticed that the later in the ten-tick heating cycle one adds additional fuel the smaller the spike. By watching the item timer tick down (especially easy with sheet glass) i am able to add 2 charcoal during the tenth tick, just before the temperature drops. This results in a spike of about 150 degrees in addition to the normal heat increase. This means that i can run the bench constantly without periodically stopping production to spike and cool it. (My bench is +56, -135.)

I traded the glass sheets with The Goods for strontium, platinum, and iron and still had a good deal of credit left over. If worse comes to worst i should be able to buy one of the mirrors.

I checked the material requirements for a 22-cubit Metallic Obelisk and it does in fact need 2 mirrors which is unfortunate but not unexpected. The materials i don't have are easy for me to produce myself so assuming i can take care of the mirrors and that no queue war erupts i'm in good shape for the Obelisk Test.
==='''Year 1 Shemu III-21'''===
Yay! One of my Prophecies came true. I am now Level 12. I signed up for Safari.

In other news i did another run of 30 attempted glass sheets. I cracked 4, fried one, and ended up with 25. Sadly my skill is still 6/7, but hopefully i'm that much closer to mirrors. I ran the firepit and poked it for a half-hour, only to discover that i had forgotten to put in the limestone. So i got 70 ash, which was nice, but no lime at all which is unfortunate because i actually have plenty of ash and needed the lime. Sigh.
==='''Year 1 Shemu III-22'''===
You can't do anything without doing something else first.

I planned to do some frog/rat/otter hunting today but first had promised to make some carpentry blades for the Queen of Denial guild. I loaded up the anvil and proceeded, using the excellent guides that have been published elsewhere (see the [[Blacksmithing_Guide |Blacksmithing Guide]] and check the references at the bottom of that page.) The "eight hits across the front" with the force 8 Shaping Mallet take some practice, as there are more than 8 nodes across the front edge, but it turns out to only matter a little. I've also added a refinement where i use the Shaping Mallet at force 5 to depress the area behind the edge around the V-shaped notch in the back before starting in on the directions in the guide. The results after following the guide are worse than just doing the guide, but i've been able to clean it up to 7.5K with about fifty more hits, where i could never clean up the guide blade to more than about 7.2K. I ended up with five in the 7.2K range and one 7.5K blade (the last one.)

Running back from QoD to my compound i found a flock of sheep, and being perennially short of leather i grabbed one. I then went in search of a public sheep pen and failed to find one. So i built one to the west of the School of Architecture near the road. I had to dry some rotten flax, and since i was carrying a sheep i couldn't carry more than 200 bricks so i had to make 7 trips back and forth to my compound but it was close enough that it was only annoying. Then i made the pen public, slaughtered my sheep and stored the products.

Time to head out. But on my way to the chariot stop someone announced that they needed witnesses for their wedding. I'm a sucker for that kind of thing besides considering it an obligation of sorts since my compound is in sight of the altar (that is, when people gather at that altar for a wedding i can see the names when i'm standing in my compound.) On the way to the wedding i noticed an intriguing Pathfinder which i poked at while waiting for the crowd to assemble. Someone brought a hookah to the wedding and i got my first point (rhubarb). Then we had the wedding, which took four tries.

Then i got booted from the computer so that my kid could do homework. Ah well, there's always later.
==='''Shemu III-27'''===
I've been in the desert for a couple of days now hunting various critters. I'm going to be a little vague in the descriptions since i don't want to give away any locations. Anyway, i've not seen any rats or otters but did come across an interesting situation with regard to cicadas. I found a spot that had multiple cages and after picking bugs from all of them i decided to try to break the cluster up a little. My first attempt moved all the cages instead of just one and to my surprise there were now more cages visible. It appears that it is possible for cages to be exactly on top of each other, something i hadn't known.

Yikes! Someone dropped out of the Metallic Obelisk queue, so i have four days less than i had planned to come up with two mirrors. I think i'm going to have to cut my rat-hunting expedition short.

==='''Shemu IV-2'''===
I'm still hunting in the desert. I haven't found any rats or otters but did locate a couple of frogs. They seem pretty straightforward and should be my ticket to a strength point.
==='''Shemu IV-7'''===
I'm back from my desert roaming. I found a lot of bugs so that part went well. On the other hand i didn't see any rats or otters. I refurbished a couple of my remote outposts but wasn't able to do anything with the one in the NE corner of the map due to an unremembered complete lack of grass in the area. I'll have to bring some supplies the next time i head that way.

My Sheet Glass skill is now at 7, which happened on the third sheet of my glass run. I had burned and boiled enough supplies to stock the glazier's bench up to 50 glass, so hitting my goal on the third try was somewhat anti-climactic. Still, i can't really complain (or can i? :-).

I let everything cool and pulled the two intact sheets, then headed for The Goods. I got some leather to contribute toward a guild Barrel Grinder, either for construction or operation, and a batch of cement and some Medium Stones to make into concrete. Silver Powder is still hideously expensive (at least to buy 200 debens) and someone has slurped up the last mirror so i don't have the option of paying a lot of Goodscript for one. Hopefully the Barrel Grinder will be completed soon. I still have two weeks before my turn in the Obelisk queue comes up.

I made a sledgehammer and attacked one of the Medium Stones. It's just as annoying as i remember it being. I did my experiment between two hills to see if gravity played any role in the process but it doesn't seem to, that is, the ejecta scooted indifferently up and down slopes for the same distance. This is one of those activities which is possible to solo but which goes much quicker with help. I like activities with that quality since i'm not able to play regularly for hours at a time, so group activities are hard to schedule.
==='''Shemu IV-14'''===
Busy, busy, busy.

I haven't found any more frogs, but did find an otter and an ibis, so i got my first strength point. Whee! I celebrated by loading up with silt on my way back to camp from the ibis. This will make a lot of things easier. I'm going to enjoy it, i'm sure.

While out exploring i found a Mixed Nuts mining compound that had degenerated to 0%. I spent the time to repair it but couldn't do anything for the equipment inside; Compression Furnaces seem to be resistant to my Structure Repair 2 skill, and i just built a new Hackling Rake rather than try to repair the one in the compound.

When i got back i pitched in for at Mixed Nuts project to build a Barrel Grinder. The only thing that's left is the 120 bearings, so i'm making half the bronze. So far i've got 99 done, including 2 perfect runs. On the other hand i ran out of Fern Palm resin and had to dash out and get more, but fortunately it's pretty common. I hope to finish the last of the bronze tonight, and then i'll fire up the Master Casting Box and make some bearings.
==='''Shemu IV-16'''===
I finished up my share of the bronze for bearings, using up the last of my copper to do so. I fired up the MCB and started cranking out batches of 10 bearings. While i was doing that other-person-in-the-guild-whose-name-i-am-totally-blanking-on finished up the rest of the bronze (and then some; he was on a roll) and took over the MCB. The barrel grinder is now finished. Now i just need to <del>bully</del> sweet talk a grinding party into existence.

I made a tech run to Saqquarah. I feel somewhat guilty doing so, but it's part of how the game works. I picked up papermaking and gem cutting, so now i have an opportunity to blow more of my resources building things that will be time sinks. Heh. Welcome to Egypt. I also got my pyramid construction skill up to 7, so should a general madness overtake Egypt it would be possible for me to become an Oracle. It's nice to set goals that are beyond one's reach.

As long as i was in the neighborhood i picked up 95 white sand (yay STR 1!). While carting it around (perhaps that was why i never caught the gazelle, see below) it occurred to me that the only sensible place to make Fine Glass products is within short walking distance of a white sand patch, at least until one gets at least STR 3 and could conceivably carry (with peppers) 3000 debens, or enough for one run of the glazier's oven.

I saw a gazelle today. They are cute but annoying. I put a call out on E! but there were no takers, so i chased it around a bit and then went home.

I've changed the format of my semi-blog, as it was getting to be too much of a nuisance to scroll down through the whole thing. I'm lazy. So sue me. :-)

==='''Shemu IV-19'''===
Finally got Cooking 1. I borrowed some carrot seeds from Queen of Denial and grew the veggies. It was nice that, with STR 1 and DEX 3 I could just waltz them over to the school instead of dumping my usual tools first. Stat boosts are fun!
==='''Akhet I-7'''===
It's been awhile. I've got 2 strength points now, which is very nice. I built my first tower and got 4% of Egypt. I've also gotten a macro to work for the first time in 4 Tellings and while it was very convenient and did a much better job than i could (it is a mining macro) i still felt vaguely cheap somehow. Not cheap enough to stop doing it, mind you, just mildly uncomfortable.

I also came face-to-face with a reality that's been percolating in the back of my head for awhile but which came into sharp focus when a guildmate mentioned that he had nineteen cicada cages out and working. There is no way in hell that i would ever spend the time necessary to accomplish this. So, the reality is that Egypt really is not for the casual player. I like to do different things but this means by definition that i will never excel in any of them, because there is someone in the game who is specializing in whatever it is.

What i'm finding is that this leaves me completely unmotivated to participate in the large-scale aspects of the game. As a "good citizen" of Egypt i should spend time judging statues, solving puzzles, and watching events, but the way i figure it the seven (or 12 or 21) people who really care should just get together and pass each other and let the rest of us get on with whatever insignificant piddly tasks amuse us. The material costs for the test buildings are enormous, and the costs for the building to make the materials for the test buildings are pretty large as well. It takes me a long time to put that much effort together. I understand that that's the way the game is designed and that i'm here by choice. Fine. But what i'm finding is that i can amuse myself without paying any attention to what passes for the plot of this Telling.

That's not to say i'm anti-social. If a guildmate asked for help collecting resources or putting things together i'd be there. But doing something For The Good of Egypt? Meh. I'm also not belittling in any way the efforts of the people who chose to put in the time. They're working hard, and they're reaping the rewards. That seems fair enough to me. In many cases (the Veggie Pyramids come to mind) i reap some benefits as well. Do i feel a little guilty? Perhaps. But that's part of the game, too. And i'm showing my approval in the only way that Teppy cares about: i'm paying my subscription fee. So the only two people who really matter are satisfied.
==='''Akhet I-11'''===
My gyration cell is done! I spent an hour and a half finishing up the tin sheets and glass tubes. I threw in 1500 copper ore i'd extracted from my copper mine and then went to one of the Mixed Nuts iron mines. The wiki page said it was level 4 and fixed but it was actually level 8 and fixed. Unfortunately it collapsed after 4 pulls and i felt compelled to fix it, so i did. I then pulled almost 1600 ore out and threw that in the gyration cell. Sweet. :-)
==='''Akhet I-30'''===
I've found a bunch of critters and now have as much strength as i have dexterity (3). Running around in the desert isn't very interesting so i look for bodies of water and do some herb gathering. I've found two more bugs in the process. I really should get a rabbit from someone and pitch it and make a fennec cage to claim the level but just haven't gotten around to it.

I'm coming to the head of the Metallic Obelisk queue in QR. The person two people ahead of me hasn't been logged on in over a week so the person immediately ahead of me has built. When she passes, and if the person ahead of me still hasn't been seen i'll put up my obelisk. If she shows up and is ready to build she'll go next. In either case i should pass my first actual test some time in the next two weeks.

I made a scent lab and started playing with it, only to find out that it will take a lot of research to get anything useful out of it. I managed to drive my first batch of incense to quality zero. My second batch had a high value of over 160 but i dragged it down with further experimenting. It looks like there are 42 different initial tendencies for the incense, one positive and one negative. Each one corresponds to one of the stat skills. Then there is a scent; i've had pine and something else (i've misplaced my notebook). There is some research elsewhere in the wiki but since the effects are both ephemeral and minor it isn't very worthwhile to pursue. I'll do it anyway but it will be slow.
==='''Akhet II-10'''===
My Metallic Obelisk is built and ticking away.

I got another Acrobatic move and am now at dexterity 4. I've found my last frog and an ibis and (whatever else i may have written above) i need one more animal to get to strength 4. I guess i'm going to have to start buckling down and go after my eagles and fennecs.

I participated in a heptathalon, which is a one-RL-hour timed contest in which one picks grass, picks slate, gathers silt, fishes, gathers wood, grows flax, and grows veggies. (Hmm, i thought gathering clay was in there too. I'll have to check when i log in next.) I ended up with 142 points out of a possible 700, but i think the winner only got about 250 so it wasn't that bad. I did mostly slate and grass, with some fish and silt, and a token amount of wood that didn't score me any points but did qualify me as having attempted that contest so i got another steel for my effort.

I finally made myself a hatchet and a shovel out of iron. The former came out ok at 7741. The shovel is a little better at 8145. Now i want to find a dig somewhere to try it out.

==='''Akhet II-15'''===
My obelisk is still chugging along.

I decided that i wanted a brick machine because i thought (mistakenly, as it turns out) that it would allow me to make clay bricks. (Because what i ''really'' want is a charcoal oven, but of course before one can do anything one must do something else first.) It took me all evening, but i reacted the bronze (80) and brass (8) that i'd need, then cast it into 80 bearing along with the 4 small gears and 2 medium gears. For no particular reason i fired up the Master's Forge and made an extrusion plate, and as long as it was hot i made 4 lead chisels. I put the extrusion plate in my improved Student Forge, fired ''it'' up, made the 4 sheets of copper and then spent the rest of the time making copper wire.

Imagine my disappointment when, after putting clay and sand into the contraption, i tried to start making wet clay bricks. That's what i get for not checking more carefully. However all is not lost. I figure i can get one of my neighbors to start the machine for me after i load it up, since they undoubtedly have learned Masonry along the way.

I managed to make some low-grade +end -str incense (that is, when i stuck the sap in it was already above 167 in quality). I also determined that the buff stacks by eating a grilled onion and then sniffing the incense. Lo and behold, my END was 3 instead of 0. It's not all that useful as the effects lasted less than 5 minutes and the stick of incense burned about the same length of time, but what the heck. (Oh, my strength went down by one, but since i am a MIGHTY SAFARIAN it was still 2. :-)

So i'll start accumulating wet clay bricks (i should have 600 over with Sam and Bessie) and then i'll start putting together my first charcoal oven.
==='''Akhet III-25'''===
It's been awhile. Much has happened, yet much is the same. I haven't achieved another level, but i have expanded my compound and built some new buildings. I've also been solving a lot of puzzles. As usual i haven't been able to excel at anything because my interests are too wide, but i'm resigned to not passing the tests. I've made several bug-hunting trips but i clearly don't think like the majority of the cicada crowd because i'm not finding any bugs, let alone the scores of bugs that those who are doing well find. Conversely, the cages i put out only last a couple of days. Perhaps i'm looking where *everyone* is looking.

I was finally on-line at the same time as my uphill neighbor and i was able to hire him to fire 1200 wet clay bricks for me. I can't do them myself since i don't have Masonry. I paid him 12 cuttable stone for firing the 1200 bricks, and we both went home happy. Now i have two charcoal ovens, which should keep me rolling in charcoal for the rest of the Telling. (Lag willing.)

I also made a rabbit hutch (with a clay dome purchased from The Goods: i love those guys) so that i can grow rabbits so that i can hunt eagles so that i can get a few more Strength points and possibly even pass Safari. Eventually. I want to grow a couple thousand carrots before getting any bunnies.

I poked two fires for over 20 minutes and got 61 and 63 ash out of them, only to realize that i had forgotten to put in the limestone. That's the second time i've done that. I may just have to bite the bullet and do a lime-only burn, but i always hate wasting the effort, and growing 200 papyrus is pretty easy. (if time-consuming). I've got a big pile of white sand just waiting to turn into fine glass.

Solving puzzles has caused me serious conflict. On the one hand i'd like to be nice to my fellow Egyptians and help them out. On the other hand, some of the puzzles, especially the Empty Hand puzzles, are completely lame. They show no effort whatsoever beyond acquiring the materials. In the end i can't bring myself to give such puzzles a Good rating, and don't. It is also somewhat ironic that the puzzles that i would like to rate highly are the ones i can't solve. Perhaps there should be a way to figure in "hours spent fiddling with it" to the score.

==My Petition==
Petition by Aku

Aku for Queen's Retreat Regional Garbage Collector

Oh, People of Queen's Retreat, hear the plea of Aku, a humble handmaiden of the region. Our public areas become blighted with abandoned flimsy brick racks, wood planes, and small distaffs. The people become discontent yet all efforts to legislate a solution fall short in some way, and the blight remains.

I petition to be granted the awesome power to salvage any of the three above items in Queen's Retreat which are not within a compound. I realize that this is a great power, and i understand the reluctance anyone might feel in granting it, unchecked, to a single individual. I pledge to use discretion and judgement, and that i am a thoughtful and civic-minded person with no intention of causing harm or unhappiness.

I believe this would do good for the region, clearing places for newcomers to experience Egypt in its beauty. I also believe that nothing short of this will alleviate the problem.

And since this isn't outrageous enough, i request that only the votes of citizens whose primary guild is in Queen's Retreat be counted.

Submitted for your consideration by Aku.

==Inclinations==
I don't have the time to spend grinding my way to the top, so i end up soloing a lot. I'm making an effort to be more social this time around. I like mentoring so if you want advice feel free to chat me and i'll see what i can do. If i don't answer right away i may be making glass or charcoal.

==History==
I played all of T1, sporadically in T2 and T3. I'm hoping to make it all the way through this one.

Aku: /* Basic Information */

{{T3}}

== Basic Information ==

Incense is created in a [[Scent Lab]] using [[Cactus Sap]], [[Charcoal]], and perhaps some additives (herbs, Rose of Ra petals, and Resin of various types). One needs an [[Incense Prong]] in order to cut in additives. It can be burned in an Incense Burner, and when one stands near enough to "catch a whiff", it will affect some small and temporary changes to one's stats depending on type. How long its effects last is dependent on its quality (the higher, the better). Incense was used in T2 in the Discipline of Worship (Humble Priest) and in the Worship Monument.

Please note: Incense is <strike>not</strike> a substantial source for stat bonuses. <strike>+1 to a single stat for a few minutes is likely the best you'll be able to get. If you're looking for ways to increase your stats, try Cooking for temporary gains or Tests for some permanent gains.</strike>

Incense has been changed to be (semi) useful. +/- 7 is now possible for a decent(ish) amount of time. It stacks with other food. Portable burners are on the to-do list apparently.

== Making a Batch of Incense ==

Stand at a Scent Lab with 20 Cactus Sap, 4 Charcoal, an [[Incense Prong]], and any additives you desire, and click "Start a Batch of Incense." A random type of incense will be generated, and you can see what its stats are by clicking "Burn a little pinch of the mixture" and looking at the report in your Main channel. If you are satisfied, you can remove the incense. One batch = 20 deben.

== Burning Incense ==

Incense is burned in a [[Windproof Incense Burner]] or a [[Incense Burner]].

Higher quality incense burns longer on an incense burner.

== Manipulating Incense Stats ==

If you would like to try to alter the stats of the batch, you'll need herbs, resins, or Rose of Ra petals.

* Herbs affect the scent of the incense.
* Resins affect the positive and negative attributes of the incense.
* Petals affect the feeling of the incense (per T2 testing).

You can add these things to the batch one deben at a time. Most of the changes that a particular additive will contribute seem to occur within the first 20 adds, and each time you add, the quality of the batch will be altered a bit. You can note these changes by using the 'Burn a pinch' option on the Scent Lab as you add things.

It is theoretically possible to reach any desired combination of incense stats with the proper combination of additives. At this time, we're still researching how to manipulate each random start to achieve a given result. You can contribute to this effort by adding your test data to the appropriate link(s) above. If you are seeking a particular type of incense, you can check those links for likely "recipes," or you can contact individual makers (see the bottom of the page).

== Observations ==

There are five bits of important information for every type of incense created: quality, scent, feeling, positive attribute, and negative attribute. These can be observed while the incense is still in the lab by using the 'Burn a little pinch of the mixture' option, and observing the report in your Main channel:

"You catch a whiff of quality 353 Sandalwood scented incense. You are filled with a melancholious dexterity, yet a bit of fragility."

In the above example, the feeling is melancholious, the positive attribute is dexterity, and the negative attribute is fragility.

Incense seems to have a map of possible combinations (similar to the chime map)...probably three maps, in actuality - one each for scents, feelings, and attributes. There are a number of possible random starts. There seems to be a "destination" for each additive, and the additives seem to determine quality and direction of travel on their maps. Though it is possible to end up with zero quality, it is also possible to rescue a batch that has fallen below zero with the proper additive(s). Quality doesn't seem to be a simple multiplier; it's probably a function of map location and additive type.

''So far, my incense attempts seem to move positives 1 point up and negatives 1 point down. Stats seem to stack with grilled food but haven't tested it with kitchen foods. Sometimes I can't get a change in stats if I make it and am wondering if there is a time between sniffing a pinch and lighting the incense burner, but not clear on that. Any ideas? ~Hanid''

== Recipes and Experimentation ==

Fact: Incense can have a -ve value. Stated by Teppy.

From this we can deduce that incense has some form of co-ordinate system, but it doesn't seem to be a simple +/- system.

Aku: /* Akhet II-10 */

==Home==
My home is in Queen's Refuge at 499, -6205. I've joined Mixed Nuts, the Queen's Refuge public works guild so it looks like i'll be hanging around for the time being. Much of the equipment in my compound is public.
*Public equipment
**2 Student Forges with Nail Molds, one has pinch rollers and an extrusion plate.
**1 Master Forge, unimproved
**10 True Kilns
**2 Charcoal Hearths
**15 Improved Brick Racks
**1 Basic Carpenter's Bench (no upgrades)
**1 Student's Casting Box
**1 Anvil (bring your own hammers)
**1 Compression Furnaces
**1 Gyration Cell
**1 Water Mine
**1 Reactory, unimproved

I reserve the right to turn any of these back to "Private Use" if i'm in the middle of a project. There is a box next to the charcoal hearths for any donations that anyone would like to make. I'll gratefully accept anything (except mud and sand :-) but don't feel obligated; I'm a big believer in "paying forward".

==Status==
Level 13
*STR 3, DEX 3, SPD 1, everything else 0.
*Initiate of Leadership
**Demi-Pharoah - i signed up to participate in the next DP election when i finally figured out that to pass the principle i have to participate in 3 rounds of the election, meaning (most likely) round 1 in 3 separate elections, rather than making it to the third round in any given election.
**Mentoring - i've got the buildings but haven't seen many new folks, so i haven't been spending much time on Welcome Island, so i haven't seen many new folks...
*Initiate of Body
**Acrobat - (passed Principle) have AI, BJ, CS, CPU, IP, JS, KU, RP, SB, SF, SQ, TT, and WS, have taught 52.
**Cicadas - (passed Principle) I actually got a speed point.
**Safari - Got 3 frogs, 3 otters, 2 gazelles an ibis, 3 rat, and a fennec. Need to drop a rabbit and build a fennec trap to pass Principle.
*Initiate of Architecture
**Obelisk - passed Principle, and i put myself in the queue for a Metallic Obelisk of 21 cubits. I have the materials.
*Initiate of Harmony
**Test of the Prophet (principle)
*Initiate of Art & Science - built statue at my compound which only has 13 votes, and finally got impatient and built, opened, and tore down a second sculpture to pass the principle.
*Initiate of Thought
**Pathmaker (Principle)
*Worship -
**Principle of Marriage

Rhythmic Strength
*L3 - in 100 picks i got 1 about 7 times, otherwise got 2.
*L4 - in 100 picks i got 3 about 10 times, otherwise got 2.
*L5 - in 100 picks i got 3 almost half the time, otherwise got 2
*L6 - in 100 picks i got 3 80 times and 2 20 times
*L7 - in 100 picks i got 3 83 times and 4 17 times

==Current Projects==
Having the attention span of a mayfly has its disadvantages, but a short "to do" list is not one of them.

===Blacksmithing===
I am currently questing after the 8K shovel and hatchet. I can pretty reliably make a 7.5K one of each (and if anyone wants one send me a tell in-game and we can haggle about price) but once i get there the screwing around i do just makes it worse. Of course i've only been practicing for a day so i am quite hopeful.

Then, of course, i'll start questing for 9K...

Resin wedges, on the other hand, are weird, or at least different enough from the other two that my threashholds seem to be 1K lower.

===Mentoring===
I've been back to Welcome Island several times. I've even helped some people. :-) One or two pledged me a Mentor point but so far no one has actually registered any. Oh, well. It's disappointing but that isn't really why i like Mentoring.

===General Metalworking===
I'm slowly building up the stock to build a blast furnace and reactory of my own. To that end i've been trading with The Goods, a fine institution that i can't recommend highly enough. (Though the new "donation phase" thing is a bit off-putting; i don't see anyone who's not a member of The Goods donating a large gear for free, but perhaps i'm being uncharitable.) I've gotten the concrete and topaz, and will be trading for some tin to try to make steel in the Guild reactory so that i can make the sheeting.

I've become familiar with the reactory and have gotten 100% on steel, brass, bronze, and Moon Steel. It takes me about 6 tries to get a useable amount of metal.

===Skills I am sorta working on===
*Salvage Techniques 4 - my water mine is slowly generating cuttables.

===Social Things===
I'm trying to pay attention to things like digs, acro, and other activties that can only be done with crowds. I'm not entirely succeeding...

==Water Mine Data==
22 degrees, one full winding, 3 Amethysts, 2 Citrine, 1 Jade, 1 Sunstone, 1 Turquoise, 1 Small Quartz, 1 Medium Quartz, 1 Medium Ruby

Since then i've had better luck at 20 or 21 degrees.

==My Semi-Blog==
I'll put my observations here when i am moved to record them, which won't be regularly.

==='''Year 1, Shemu II-24'''===
I've made a lot of progress on my gyration cell. The Moon Steel turned out to be less troublesome than i had planned for, and in fact i've got all 50 smelted. I should be able to get the cement i'll need from The Goods if i can't find it locally. The gravel will be a nuisance as i've run out of Medium Stones. Mostly what's left is mining a huge pile of copper and tin to make the sheeting and then making the sheeting. I may have to put pinch rollers in my second Student Forge to speed up the process.
==='''Year 1 Shemu II-28'''===
I got my second Navigation point for 20 glass rods. I'll set it at the mining compound which i will build next to the guild one. Then i can start mining copper in earnest. I've found an existing gyration cell that i can borrow which will speed things up immensely.
==='''Year 1 Shemu III-10'''===
I finished mining and smelting the copper i neeed for the sheets. Now i just have to forge them. I may have to invest in two more pinch rollers to upgrade another student forge for sheets but that means more mining.

I spent a couple of hours on Welcome Island. Hardly anyone responded to my offer of help though i did have a lively exchange with one fellow who should do fine and a rather odd exchange with another, the second person being unable to understand that i was an experienced player who was chosing to help out newcomers. ("Why r u here?") Overall it was satisfying, but i'm not pushy enough to translate any of it into Mentor points. There is a fuzzy line between helping out a newcomer and being bossy. I err firmly on the offer-only-when-asked side. I'm also "only" on for an hour or two a day at most, so i'm not an ideal candidate for a Mentor. So it goes.

Level 12 continues to elude me. I'll have to investigate Towers again, and start putting myself forward for the Worship init. Acrobatics is progressing slowly but surely and will continue that way since i don't have the fortitude to hang around for one of the massive Acro lines. I like the "acro blobs" better, and they happen periodically around the QR chariot stop, which i can see from my compound.
==='''Year 1 Shemu III-14'''===
I had a run-in with server lag. I was tending my firepit when everything froze for several seconds. When it unlocked i poked the fire but it was too late and the fire went out. It had been burning less than five minutes so in spite of having a full load of papyrus, flax, and leeks i got 12 ash. I was moderately bummed out.

To console myself i set up for a second firepit run, growing 300 flax with some 2/2/2 seeds (which have already been surpassed) and making a papyrus run. During the run i bumped into my friend SamAdams, who helped gather my papyrus, so i stayed around and helped him gather his. He then let me into a small guild he's in which was great because they have a bunch of the cool buildings (including the gyration cell i've been borrowing). I immediately made 600 charcoal in their charcoal oven, in spite of the continued lag. (I did have to abandon my efforts to run the charcoal hearth at the same time.)

This failure to advance in levels is getting to be a problem. I was reviewing my progress on my personal gyration cell and realized that i can't even build it myself until i hit Level 13 because i need Metallurgy III. I think i'm going to have to stifle my urge to own the high-tech production buildings and spend some time leveling. With that in mind i put my name on the Metallic Obelisk queue at size 22. I've got two weeks to come up with the materials. The only one that looks hard is the mirror (assuming size 22 still needs only one; i haven't checked the exact requirements yet). The rest i can either make myself or purchase at The Goods without too much trouble. I wonder if i can get my Sheet Glass skill to 7 in two weeks?
==='''Year 1 Shemu III-16'''===
Yesterday was a good day.

I made excellent progress in collecting materials for my hypothetical Metallic Obelisk. I loaded up my Normal Glass furnace with a full 50 units of melted glass and started making glass sheets. It certainly started out grimly. I cracked the first seven sheets i attempted, though in the process i rose to skill 4. Then i succeeded once, and cracked another. By the time i had made 30 attempts i had 18 sheets of glass, having cracked 11 and lost one to over-fueling my bench. I was quite pleased. I hadn't known how many sheets i would have to crack for each skill level, but i hadn't expected to get to skill 6 in one session. I imagine that last level will be quite tedious to achieve, but it looks like it's doable in my time frame.

On the subject of the glazier's bench i have discovered, or reasoned out, a small refinement to the published technique. I have noticed that the later in the ten-tick heating cycle one adds additional fuel the smaller the spike. By watching the item timer tick down (especially easy with sheet glass) i am able to add 2 charcoal during the tenth tick, just before the temperature drops. This results in a spike of about 150 degrees in addition to the normal heat increase. This means that i can run the bench constantly without periodically stopping production to spike and cool it. (My bench is +56, -135.)

I traded the glass sheets with The Goods for strontium, platinum, and iron and still had a good deal of credit left over. If worse comes to worst i should be able to buy one of the mirrors.

I checked the material requirements for a 22-cubit Metallic Obelisk and it does in fact need 2 mirrors which is unfortunate but not unexpected. The materials i don't have are easy for me to produce myself so assuming i can take care of the mirrors and that no queue war erupts i'm in good shape for the Obelisk Test.
==='''Year 1 Shemu III-21'''===
Yay! One of my Prophecies came true. I am now Level 12. I signed up for Safari.

In other news i did another run of 30 attempted glass sheets. I cracked 4, fried one, and ended up with 25. Sadly my skill is still 6/7, but hopefully i'm that much closer to mirrors. I ran the firepit and poked it for a half-hour, only to discover that i had forgotten to put in the limestone. So i got 70 ash, which was nice, but no lime at all which is unfortunate because i actually have plenty of ash and needed the lime. Sigh.
==='''Year 1 Shemu III-22'''===
You can't do anything without doing something else first.

I planned to do some frog/rat/otter hunting today but first had promised to make some carpentry blades for the Queen of Denial guild. I loaded up the anvil and proceeded, using the excellent guides that have been published elsewhere (see the [[Blacksmithing_Guide |Blacksmithing Guide]] and check the references at the bottom of that page.) The "eight hits across the front" with the force 8 Shaping Mallet take some practice, as there are more than 8 nodes across the front edge, but it turns out to only matter a little. I've also added a refinement where i use the Shaping Mallet at force 5 to depress the area behind the edge around the V-shaped notch in the back before starting in on the directions in the guide. The results after following the guide are worse than just doing the guide, but i've been able to clean it up to 7.5K with about fifty more hits, where i could never clean up the guide blade to more than about 7.2K. I ended up with five in the 7.2K range and one 7.5K blade (the last one.)

Running back from QoD to my compound i found a flock of sheep, and being perennially short of leather i grabbed one. I then went in search of a public sheep pen and failed to find one. So i built one to the west of the School of Architecture near the road. I had to dry some rotten flax, and since i was carrying a sheep i couldn't carry more than 200 bricks so i had to make 7 trips back and forth to my compound but it was close enough that it was only annoying. Then i made the pen public, slaughtered my sheep and stored the products.

Time to head out. But on my way to the chariot stop someone announced that they needed witnesses for their wedding. I'm a sucker for that kind of thing besides considering it an obligation of sorts since my compound is in sight of the altar (that is, when people gather at that altar for a wedding i can see the names when i'm standing in my compound.) On the way to the wedding i noticed an intriguing Pathfinder which i poked at while waiting for the crowd to assemble. Someone brought a hookah to the wedding and i got my first point (rhubarb). Then we had the wedding, which took four tries.

Then i got booted from the computer so that my kid could do homework. Ah well, there's always later.
==='''Shemu III-27'''===
I've been in the desert for a couple of days now hunting various critters. I'm going to be a little vague in the descriptions since i don't want to give away any locations. Anyway, i've not seen any rats or otters but did come across an interesting situation with regard to cicadas. I found a spot that had multiple cages and after picking bugs from all of them i decided to try to break the cluster up a little. My first attempt moved all the cages instead of just one and to my surprise there were now more cages visible. It appears that it is possible for cages to be exactly on top of each other, something i hadn't known.

Yikes! Someone dropped out of the Metallic Obelisk queue, so i have four days less than i had planned to come up with two mirrors. I think i'm going to have to cut my rat-hunting expedition short.

==='''Shemu IV-2'''===
I'm still hunting in the desert. I haven't found any rats or otters but did locate a couple of frogs. They seem pretty straightforward and should be my ticket to a strength point.
==='''Shemu IV-7'''===
I'm back from my desert roaming. I found a lot of bugs so that part went well. On the other hand i didn't see any rats or otters. I refurbished a couple of my remote outposts but wasn't able to do anything with the one in the NE corner of the map due to an unremembered complete lack of grass in the area. I'll have to bring some supplies the next time i head that way.

My Sheet Glass skill is now at 7, which happened on the third sheet of my glass run. I had burned and boiled enough supplies to stock the glazier's bench up to 50 glass, so hitting my goal on the third try was somewhat anti-climactic. Still, i can't really complain (or can i? :-).

I let everything cool and pulled the two intact sheets, then headed for The Goods. I got some leather to contribute toward a guild Barrel Grinder, either for construction or operation, and a batch of cement and some Medium Stones to make into concrete. Silver Powder is still hideously expensive (at least to buy 200 debens) and someone has slurped up the last mirror so i don't have the option of paying a lot of Goodscript for one. Hopefully the Barrel Grinder will be completed soon. I still have two weeks before my turn in the Obelisk queue comes up.

I made a sledgehammer and attacked one of the Medium Stones. It's just as annoying as i remember it being. I did my experiment between two hills to see if gravity played any role in the process but it doesn't seem to, that is, the ejecta scooted indifferently up and down slopes for the same distance. This is one of those activities which is possible to solo but which goes much quicker with help. I like activities with that quality since i'm not able to play regularly for hours at a time, so group activities are hard to schedule.
==='''Shemu IV-14'''===
Busy, busy, busy.

I haven't found any more frogs, but did find an otter and an ibis, so i got my first strength point. Whee! I celebrated by loading up with silt on my way back to camp from the ibis. This will make a lot of things easier. I'm going to enjoy it, i'm sure.

While out exploring i found a Mixed Nuts mining compound that had degenerated to 0%. I spent the time to repair it but couldn't do anything for the equipment inside; Compression Furnaces seem to be resistant to my Structure Repair 2 skill, and i just built a new Hackling Rake rather than try to repair the one in the compound.

When i got back i pitched in for at Mixed Nuts project to build a Barrel Grinder. The only thing that's left is the 120 bearings, so i'm making half the bronze. So far i've got 99 done, including 2 perfect runs. On the other hand i ran out of Fern Palm resin and had to dash out and get more, but fortunately it's pretty common. I hope to finish the last of the bronze tonight, and then i'll fire up the Master Casting Box and make some bearings.
==='''Shemu IV-16'''===
I finished up my share of the bronze for bearings, using up the last of my copper to do so. I fired up the MCB and started cranking out batches of 10 bearings. While i was doing that other-person-in-the-guild-whose-name-i-am-totally-blanking-on finished up the rest of the bronze (and then some; he was on a roll) and took over the MCB. The barrel grinder is now finished. Now i just need to <del>bully</del> sweet talk a grinding party into existence.

I made a tech run to Saqquarah. I feel somewhat guilty doing so, but it's part of how the game works. I picked up papermaking and gem cutting, so now i have an opportunity to blow more of my resources building things that will be time sinks. Heh. Welcome to Egypt. I also got my pyramid construction skill up to 7, so should a general madness overtake Egypt it would be possible for me to become an Oracle. It's nice to set goals that are beyond one's reach.

As long as i was in the neighborhood i picked up 95 white sand (yay STR 1!). While carting it around (perhaps that was why i never caught the gazelle, see below) it occurred to me that the only sensible place to make Fine Glass products is within short walking distance of a white sand patch, at least until one gets at least STR 3 and could conceivably carry (with peppers) 3000 debens, or enough for one run of the glazier's oven.

I saw a gazelle today. They are cute but annoying. I put a call out on E! but there were no takers, so i chased it around a bit and then went home.

I've changed the format of my semi-blog, as it was getting to be too much of a nuisance to scroll down through the whole thing. I'm lazy. So sue me. :-)

==='''Shemu IV-19'''===
Finally got Cooking 1. I borrowed some carrot seeds from Queen of Denial and grew the veggies. It was nice that, with STR 1 and DEX 3 I could just waltz them over to the school instead of dumping my usual tools first. Stat boosts are fun!
==='''Akhet I-7'''===
It's been awhile. I've got 2 strength points now, which is very nice. I built my first tower and got 4% of Egypt. I've also gotten a macro to work for the first time in 4 Tellings and while it was very convenient and did a much better job than i could (it is a mining macro) i still felt vaguely cheap somehow. Not cheap enough to stop doing it, mind you, just mildly uncomfortable.

I also came face-to-face with a reality that's been percolating in the back of my head for awhile but which came into sharp focus when a guildmate mentioned that he had nineteen cicada cages out and working. There is no way in hell that i would ever spend the time necessary to accomplish this. So, the reality is that Egypt really is not for the casual player. I like to do different things but this means by definition that i will never excel in any of them, because there is someone in the game who is specializing in whatever it is.

What i'm finding is that this leaves me completely unmotivated to participate in the large-scale aspects of the game. As a "good citizen" of Egypt i should spend time judging statues, solving puzzles, and watching events, but the way i figure it the seven (or 12 or 21) people who really care should just get together and pass each other and let the rest of us get on with whatever insignificant piddly tasks amuse us. The material costs for the test buildings are enormous, and the costs for the building to make the materials for the test buildings are pretty large as well. It takes me a long time to put that much effort together. I understand that that's the way the game is designed and that i'm here by choice. Fine. But what i'm finding is that i can amuse myself without paying any attention to what passes for the plot of this Telling.

That's not to say i'm anti-social. If a guildmate asked for help collecting resources or putting things together i'd be there. But doing something For The Good of Egypt? Meh. I'm also not belittling in any way the efforts of the people who chose to put in the time. They're working hard, and they're reaping the rewards. That seems fair enough to me. In many cases (the Veggie Pyramids come to mind) i reap some benefits as well. Do i feel a little guilty? Perhaps. But that's part of the game, too. And i'm showing my approval in the only way that Teppy cares about: i'm paying my subscription fee. So the only two people who really matter are satisfied.
==='''Akhet I-11'''===
My gyration cell is done! I spent an hour and a half finishing up the tin sheets and glass tubes. I threw in 1500 copper ore i'd extracted from my copper mine and then went to one of the Mixed Nuts iron mines. The wiki page said it was level 4 and fixed but it was actually level 8 and fixed. Unfortunately it collapsed after 4 pulls and i felt compelled to fix it, so i did. I then pulled almost 1600 ore out and threw that in the gyration cell. Sweet. :-)
==='''Akhet I-30'''===
I've found a bunch of critters and now have as much strength as i have dexterity (3). Running around in the desert isn't very interesting so i look for bodies of water and do some herb gathering. I've found two more bugs in the process. I really should get a rabbit from someone and pitch it and make a fennec cage to claim the level but just haven't gotten around to it.

I'm coming to the head of the Metallic Obelisk queue in QR. The person two people ahead of me hasn't been logged on in over a week so the person immediately ahead of me has built. When she passes, and if the person ahead of me still hasn't been seen i'll put up my obelisk. If she shows up and is ready to build she'll go next. In either case i should pass my first actual test some time in the next two weeks.

I made a scent lab and started playing with it, only to find out that it will take a lot of research to get anything useful out of it. I managed to drive my first batch of incense to quality zero. My second batch had a high value of over 160 but i dragged it down with further experimenting. It looks like there are 42 different initial tendencies for the incense, one positive and one negative. Each one corresponds to one of the stat skills. Then there is a scent; i've had pine and something else (i've misplaced my notebook). There is some research elsewhere in the wiki but since the effects are both ephemeral and minor it isn't very worthwhile to pursue. I'll do it anyway but it will be slow.
==='''Akhet II-10'''===
My Metallic Obelisk is built and ticking away.

I got another Acrobatic move and am now at dexterity 4. I've found my last frog and an ibis and (whatever else i may have written above) i need one more animal to get to strength 4. I guess i'm going to have to start buckling down and go after my eagles and fennecs.

I participated in a heptathalon, which is a one-RL-hour timed contest in which one picks grass, picks slate, gathers silt, fishes, gathers wood, grows flax, and grows veggies. (Hmm, i thought gathering clay was in there too. I'll have to check when i log in next.) I ended up with 142 points out of a possible 700, but i think the winner only got about 250 so it wasn't that bad. I did mostly slate and grass, with some fish and silt, and a token amount of wood that didn't score me any points but did qualify me as having attempted that contest so i got another steel for my effort.

I finally made myself a hatchet and a shovel out of iron. The former came out ok at 7741. The shovel is a little better at 8145. Now i want to find a dig somewhere to try it out.

==='''Akhet II-15'''===
My obelisk is still chugging along.

I decided that i wanted a brick machine because i thought (mistakenly, as it turns out) that it would allow me to make clay bricks. (Because what i ''really'' want is a charcoal oven, but of course before one can do anything one must do something else first.) It took me all evening, but i reacted the bronze (80) and brass (8) that i'd need, then cast it into 80 bearing along with the 4 small gears and 2 medium gears. For no particular reason i fired up the Master's Forge and made an extrusion plate, and as long as it was hot i made 4 lead chisels. I put the extrusion plate in my improved Student Forge, fired ''it'' up, made the 4 sheets of copper and then spent the rest of the time making copper wire.

Imagine my disappointment when, after putting clay and sand into the contraption, i tried to start making wet clay bricks. That's what i get for not checking more carefully. However all is not lost. I figure i can get one of my neighbors to start the machine for me after i load it up, since they undoubtedly have learned Masonry along the way.

I managed to make some low-grade +end -str incense (that is, when i stuck the sap in it was already above 167 in quality). I also determined that the buff stacks by eating a grilled onion and then sniffing the incense. Lo and behold, my END was 3 instead of 0. It's not all that useful as the effects lasted less than 5 minutes and the stick of incense burned about the same length of time, but what the heck. (Oh, my strength went down by one, but since i am a MIGHTY SAFARIAN it was still 2. :-)

So i'll start accumulating wet clay bricks (i should have 600 over with Sam and Bessie) and then i'll start putting together my first charcoal oven.

==My Petition==
Petition by Aku

Aku for Queen's Retreat Regional Garbage Collector

Oh, People of Queen's Retreat, hear the plea of Aku, a humble handmaiden of the region. Our public areas become blighted with abandoned flimsy brick racks, wood planes, and small distaffs. The people become discontent yet all efforts to legislate a solution fall short in some way, and the blight remains.

I petition to be granted the awesome power to salvage any of the three above items in Queen's Retreat which are not within a compound. I realize that this is a great power, and i understand the reluctance anyone might feel in granting it, unchecked, to a single individual. I pledge to use discretion and judgement, and that i am a thoughtful and civic-minded person with no intention of causing harm or unhappiness.

I believe this would do good for the region, clearing places for newcomers to experience Egypt in its beauty. I also believe that nothing short of this will alleviate the problem.

And since this isn't outrageous enough, i request that only the votes of citizens whose primary guild is in Queen's Retreat be counted.

Submitted for your consideration by Aku.

==Inclinations==
I don't have the time to spend grinding my way to the top, so i end up soloing a lot. I'm making an effort to be more social this time around. I like mentoring so if you want advice feel free to chat me and i'll see what i can do. If i don't answer right away i may be making glass or charcoal.

==History==
I played all of T1, sporadically in T2 and T3. I'm hoping to make it all the way through this one.

Aku: /* Home */

==Home==
My home is in Queen's Refuge at 499, -6205. I've joined Mixed Nuts, the Queen's Refuge public works guild so it looks like i'll be hanging around for the time being. Much of the equipment in my compound is public.
*Public equipment
**2 Student Forges with Nail Molds, one has pinch rollers and an extrusion plate.
**1 Master Forge, unimproved
**10 True Kilns
**2 Charcoal Hearths
**15 Improved Brick Racks
**1 Basic Carpenter's Bench (no upgrades)
**1 Student's Casting Box
**1 Anvil (bring your own hammers)
**1 Compression Furnaces
**1 Gyration Cell
**1 Water Mine
**1 Reactory, unimproved

I reserve the right to turn any of these back to "Private Use" if i'm in the middle of a project. There is a box next to the charcoal hearths for any donations that anyone would like to make. I'll gratefully accept anything (except mud and sand :-) but don't feel obligated; I'm a big believer in "paying forward".

==Status==

*Initiate of Leadership
**Demi-Pharoah - i signed up to participate in the next DP election when i finally figured out that to pass the principle i have to participate in 3 rounds of the election, meaning (most likely) round 1 in 3 separate elections, rather than making it to the third round in any given election.
**Mentoring - i've got the buildings but haven't seen many new folks, so i haven't been spending much time on Welcome Island, so i haven't seen many new folks...

==Current Projects==
Having the attention span of a mayfly has its disadvantages, but a short "to do" list is not one of them.

===Blacksmithing===
I am currently questing after the 8K shovel and hatchet. I can pretty reliably make a 7.5K one of each (and if anyone wants one send me a tell in-game and we can haggle about price) but once i get there the screwing around i do just makes it worse. Of course i've only been practicing for a day so i am quite hopeful.

Then, of course, i'll start questing for 9K...

Resin wedges, on the other hand, are weird, or at least different enough from the other two that my threashholds seem to be 1K lower.

===Mentoring===
I've been back to Welcome Island several times. I've even helped some people. :-) One or two pledged me a Mentor point but so far no one has actually registered any. Oh, well. It's disappointing but that isn't really why i like Mentoring.

===General Metalworking===
I'm slowly building up the stock to build a blast furnace and reactory of my own. To that end i've been trading with The Goods, a fine institution that i can't recommend highly enough. (Though the new "donation phase" thing is a bit off-putting; i don't see anyone who's not a member of The Goods donating a large gear for free, but perhaps i'm being uncharitable.) I've gotten the concrete and topaz, and will be trading for some tin to try to make steel in the Guild reactory so that i can make the sheeting.

I've become familiar with the reactory and have gotten 100% on steel, brass, bronze, and Moon Steel. It takes me about 6 tries to get a useable amount of metal.

===Skills I am sorta working on===
*Salvage Techniques 4 - my water mine is slowly generating cuttables.

===Social Things===
I'm trying to pay attention to things like digs, acro, and other activties that can only be done with crowds. I'm not entirely succeeding...

==Water Mine Data==
22 degrees, one full winding, 3 Amethysts, 2 Citrine, 1 Jade, 1 Sunstone, 1 Turquoise, 1 Small Quartz, 1 Medium Quartz, 1 Medium Ruby

Since then i've had better luck at 20 or 21 degrees.

==My Semi-Blog==
I'll put my observations here when i am moved to record them, which won't be regularly.

==='''Year 1, Shemu II-24'''===
I've made a lot of progress on my gyration cell. The Moon Steel turned out to be less troublesome than i had planned for, and in fact i've got all 50 smelted. I should be able to get the cement i'll need from The Goods if i can't find it locally. The gravel will be a nuisance as i've run out of Medium Stones. Mostly what's left is mining a huge pile of copper and tin to make the sheeting and then making the sheeting. I may have to put pinch rollers in my second Student Forge to speed up the process.
==='''Year 1 Shemu II-28'''===
I got my second Navigation point for 20 glass rods. I'll set it at the mining compound which i will build next to the guild one. Then i can start mining copper in earnest. I've found an existing gyration cell that i can borrow which will speed things up immensely.
==='''Year 1 Shemu III-10'''===
I finished mining and smelting the copper i neeed for the sheets. Now i just have to forge them. I may have to invest in two more pinch rollers to upgrade another student forge for sheets but that means more mining.

I spent a couple of hours on Welcome Island. Hardly anyone responded to my offer of help though i did have a lively exchange with one fellow who should do fine and a rather odd exchange with another, the second person being unable to understand that i was an experienced player who was chosing to help out newcomers. ("Why r u here?") Overall it was satisfying, but i'm not pushy enough to translate any of it into Mentor points. There is a fuzzy line between helping out a newcomer and being bossy. I err firmly on the offer-only-when-asked side. I'm also "only" on for an hour or two a day at most, so i'm not an ideal candidate for a Mentor. So it goes.

Level 12 continues to elude me. I'll have to investigate Towers again, and start putting myself forward for the Worship init. Acrobatics is progressing slowly but surely and will continue that way since i don't have the fortitude to hang around for one of the massive Acro lines. I like the "acro blobs" better, and they happen periodically around the QR chariot stop, which i can see from my compound.
==='''Year 1 Shemu III-14'''===
I had a run-in with server lag. I was tending my firepit when everything froze for several seconds. When it unlocked i poked the fire but it was too late and the fire went out. It had been burning less than five minutes so in spite of having a full load of papyrus, flax, and leeks i got 12 ash. I was moderately bummed out.

To console myself i set up for a second firepit run, growing 300 flax with some 2/2/2 seeds (which have already been surpassed) and making a papyrus run. During the run i bumped into my friend SamAdams, who helped gather my papyrus, so i stayed around and helped him gather his. He then let me into a small guild he's in which was great because they have a bunch of the cool buildings (including the gyration cell i've been borrowing). I immediately made 600 charcoal in their charcoal oven, in spite of the continued lag. (I did have to abandon my efforts to run the charcoal hearth at the same time.)

This failure to advance in levels is getting to be a problem. I was reviewing my progress on my personal gyration cell and realized that i can't even build it myself until i hit Level 13 because i need Metallurgy III. I think i'm going to have to stifle my urge to own the high-tech production buildings and spend some time leveling. With that in mind i put my name on the Metallic Obelisk queue at size 22. I've got two weeks to come up with the materials. The only one that looks hard is the mirror (assuming size 22 still needs only one; i haven't checked the exact requirements yet). The rest i can either make myself or purchase at The Goods without too much trouble. I wonder if i can get my Sheet Glass skill to 7 in two weeks?
==='''Year 1 Shemu III-16'''===
Yesterday was a good day.

I made excellent progress in collecting materials for my hypothetical Metallic Obelisk. I loaded up my Normal Glass furnace with a full 50 units of melted glass and started making glass sheets. It certainly started out grimly. I cracked the first seven sheets i attempted, though in the process i rose to skill 4. Then i succeeded once, and cracked another. By the time i had made 30 attempts i had 18 sheets of glass, having cracked 11 and lost one to over-fueling my bench. I was quite pleased. I hadn't known how many sheets i would have to crack for each skill level, but i hadn't expected to get to skill 6 in one session. I imagine that last level will be quite tedious to achieve, but it looks like it's doable in my time frame.

On the subject of the glazier's bench i have discovered, or reasoned out, a small refinement to the published technique. I have noticed that the later in the ten-tick heating cycle one adds additional fuel the smaller the spike. By watching the item timer tick down (especially easy with sheet glass) i am able to add 2 charcoal during the tenth tick, just before the temperature drops. This results in a spike of about 150 degrees in addition to the normal heat increase. This means that i can run the bench constantly without periodically stopping production to spike and cool it. (My bench is +56, -135.)

I traded the glass sheets with The Goods for strontium, platinum, and iron and still had a good deal of credit left over. If worse comes to worst i should be able to buy one of the mirrors.

I checked the material requirements for a 22-cubit Metallic Obelisk and it does in fact need 2 mirrors which is unfortunate but not unexpected. The materials i don't have are easy for me to produce myself so assuming i can take care of the mirrors and that no queue war erupts i'm in good shape for the Obelisk Test.
==='''Year 1 Shemu III-21'''===
Yay! One of my Prophecies came true. I am now Level 12. I signed up for Safari.

In other news i did another run of 30 attempted glass sheets. I cracked 4, fried one, and ended up with 25. Sadly my skill is still 6/7, but hopefully i'm that much closer to mirrors. I ran the firepit and poked it for a half-hour, only to discover that i had forgotten to put in the limestone. So i got 70 ash, which was nice, but no lime at all which is unfortunate because i actually have plenty of ash and needed the lime. Sigh.
==='''Year 1 Shemu III-22'''===
You can't do anything without doing something else first.

I planned to do some frog/rat/otter hunting today but first had promised to make some carpentry blades for the Queen of Denial guild. I loaded up the anvil and proceeded, using the excellent guides that have been published elsewhere (see the [[Blacksmithing_Guide |Blacksmithing Guide]] and check the references at the bottom of that page.) The "eight hits across the front" with the force 8 Shaping Mallet take some practice, as there are more than 8 nodes across the front edge, but it turns out to only matter a little. I've also added a refinement where i use the Shaping Mallet at force 5 to depress the area behind the edge around the V-shaped notch in the back before starting in on the directions in the guide. The results after following the guide are worse than just doing the guide, but i've been able to clean it up to 7.5K with about fifty more hits, where i could never clean up the guide blade to more than about 7.2K. I ended up with five in the 7.2K range and one 7.5K blade (the last one.)

Running back from QoD to my compound i found a flock of sheep, and being perennially short of leather i grabbed one. I then went in search of a public sheep pen and failed to find one. So i built one to the west of the School of Architecture near the road. I had to dry some rotten flax, and since i was carrying a sheep i couldn't carry more than 200 bricks so i had to make 7 trips back and forth to my compound but it was close enough that it was only annoying. Then i made the pen public, slaughtered my sheep and stored the products.

Time to head out. But on my way to the chariot stop someone announced that they needed witnesses for their wedding. I'm a sucker for that kind of thing besides considering it an obligation of sorts since my compound is in sight of the altar (that is, when people gather at that altar for a wedding i can see the names when i'm standing in my compound.) On the way to the wedding i noticed an intriguing Pathfinder which i poked at while waiting for the crowd to assemble. Someone brought a hookah to the wedding and i got my first point (rhubarb). Then we had the wedding, which took four tries.

Then i got booted from the computer so that my kid could do homework. Ah well, there's always later.
==='''Shemu III-27'''===
I've been in the desert for a couple of days now hunting various critters. I'm going to be a little vague in the descriptions since i don't want to give away any locations. Anyway, i've not seen any rats or otters but did come across an interesting situation with regard to cicadas. I found a spot that had multiple cages and after picking bugs from all of them i decided to try to break the cluster up a little. My first attempt moved all the cages instead of just one and to my surprise there were now more cages visible. It appears that it is possible for cages to be exactly on top of each other, something i hadn't known.

Yikes! Someone dropped out of the Metallic Obelisk queue, so i have four days less than i had planned to come up with two mirrors. I think i'm going to have to cut my rat-hunting expedition short.

==='''Shemu IV-2'''===
I'm still hunting in the desert. I haven't found any rats or otters but did locate a couple of frogs. They seem pretty straightforward and should be my ticket to a strength point.
==='''Shemu IV-7'''===
I'm back from my desert roaming. I found a lot of bugs so that part went well. On the other hand i didn't see any rats or otters. I refurbished a couple of my remote outposts but wasn't able to do anything with the one in the NE corner of the map due to an unremembered complete lack of grass in the area. I'll have to bring some supplies the next time i head that way.

My Sheet Glass skill is now at 7, which happened on the third sheet of my glass run. I had burned and boiled enough supplies to stock the glazier's bench up to 50 glass, so hitting my goal on the third try was somewhat anti-climactic. Still, i can't really complain (or can i? :-).

I let everything cool and pulled the two intact sheets, then headed for The Goods. I got some leather to contribute toward a guild Barrel Grinder, either for construction or operation, and a batch of cement and some Medium Stones to make into concrete. Silver Powder is still hideously expensive (at least to buy 200 debens) and someone has slurped up the last mirror so i don't have the option of paying a lot of Goodscript for one. Hopefully the Barrel Grinder will be completed soon. I still have two weeks before my turn in the Obelisk queue comes up.

I made a sledgehammer and attacked one of the Medium Stones. It's just as annoying as i remember it being. I did my experiment between two hills to see if gravity played any role in the process but it doesn't seem to, that is, the ejecta scooted indifferently up and down slopes for the same distance. This is one of those activities which is possible to solo but which goes much quicker with help. I like activities with that quality since i'm not able to play regularly for hours at a time, so group activities are hard to schedule.
==='''Shemu IV-14'''===
Busy, busy, busy.

I haven't found any more frogs, but did find an otter and an ibis, so i got my first strength point. Whee! I celebrated by loading up with silt on my way back to camp from the ibis. This will make a lot of things easier. I'm going to enjoy it, i'm sure.

While out exploring i found a Mixed Nuts mining compound that had degenerated to 0%. I spent the time to repair it but couldn't do anything for the equipment inside; Compression Furnaces seem to be resistant to my Structure Repair 2 skill, and i just built a new Hackling Rake rather than try to repair the one in the compound.

When i got back i pitched in for at Mixed Nuts project to build a Barrel Grinder. The only thing that's left is the 120 bearings, so i'm making half the bronze. So far i've got 99 done, including 2 perfect runs. On the other hand i ran out of Fern Palm resin and had to dash out and get more, but fortunately it's pretty common. I hope to finish the last of the bronze tonight, and then i'll fire up the Master Casting Box and make some bearings.
==='''Shemu IV-16'''===
I finished up my share of the bronze for bearings, using up the last of my copper to do so. I fired up the MCB and started cranking out batches of 10 bearings. While i was doing that other-person-in-the-guild-whose-name-i-am-totally-blanking-on finished up the rest of the bronze (and then some; he was on a roll) and took over the MCB. The barrel grinder is now finished. Now i just need to <del>bully</del> sweet talk a grinding party into existence.

I made a tech run to Saqquarah. I feel somewhat guilty doing so, but it's part of how the game works. I picked up papermaking and gem cutting, so now i have an opportunity to blow more of my resources building things that will be time sinks. Heh. Welcome to Egypt. I also got my pyramid construction skill up to 7, so should a general madness overtake Egypt it would be possible for me to become an Oracle. It's nice to set goals that are beyond one's reach.

As long as i was in the neighborhood i picked up 95 white sand (yay STR 1!). While carting it around (perhaps that was why i never caught the gazelle, see below) it occurred to me that the only sensible place to make Fine Glass products is within short walking distance of a white sand patch, at least until one gets at least STR 3 and could conceivably carry (with peppers) 3000 debens, or enough for one run of the glazier's oven.

I saw a gazelle today. They are cute but annoying. I put a call out on E! but there were no takers, so i chased it around a bit and then went home.

I've changed the format of my semi-blog, as it was getting to be too much of a nuisance to scroll down through the whole thing. I'm lazy. So sue me. :-)

==='''Shemu IV-19'''===
Finally got Cooking 1. I borrowed some carrot seeds from Queen of Denial and grew the veggies. It was nice that, with STR 1 and DEX 3 I could just waltz them over to the school instead of dumping my usual tools first. Stat boosts are fun!
==='''Akhet I-7'''===
It's been awhile. I've got 2 strength points now, which is very nice. I built my first tower and got 4% of Egypt. I've also gotten a macro to work for the first time in 4 Tellings and while it was very convenient and did a much better job than i could (it is a mining macro) i still felt vaguely cheap somehow. Not cheap enough to stop doing it, mind you, just mildly uncomfortable.

I also came face-to-face with a reality that's been percolating in the back of my head for awhile but which came into sharp focus when a guildmate mentioned that he had nineteen cicada cages out and working. There is no way in hell that i would ever spend the time necessary to accomplish this. So, the reality is that Egypt really is not for the casual player. I like to do different things but this means by definition that i will never excel in any of them, because there is someone in the game who is specializing in whatever it is.

What i'm finding is that this leaves me completely unmotivated to participate in the large-scale aspects of the game. As a "good citizen" of Egypt i should spend time judging statues, solving puzzles, and watching events, but the way i figure it the seven (or 12 or 21) people who really care should just get together and pass each other and let the rest of us get on with whatever insignificant piddly tasks amuse us. The material costs for the test buildings are enormous, and the costs for the building to make the materials for the test buildings are pretty large as well. It takes me a long time to put that much effort together. I understand that that's the way the game is designed and that i'm here by choice. Fine. But what i'm finding is that i can amuse myself without paying any attention to what passes for the plot of this Telling.

That's not to say i'm anti-social. If a guildmate asked for help collecting resources or putting things together i'd be there. But doing something For The Good of Egypt? Meh. I'm also not belittling in any way the efforts of the people who chose to put in the time. They're working hard, and they're reaping the rewards. That seems fair enough to me. In many cases (the Veggie Pyramids come to mind) i reap some benefits as well. Do i feel a little guilty? Perhaps. But that's part of the game, too. And i'm showing my approval in the only way that Teppy cares about: i'm paying my subscription fee. So the only two people who really matter are satisfied.
==='''Akhet I-11'''===
My gyration cell is done! I spent an hour and a half finishing up the tin sheets and glass tubes. I threw in 1500 copper ore i'd extracted from my copper mine and then went to one of the Mixed Nuts iron mines. The wiki page said it was level 4 and fixed but it was actually level 8 and fixed. Unfortunately it collapsed after 4 pulls and i felt compelled to fix it, so i did. I then pulled almost 1600 ore out and threw that in the gyration cell. Sweet. :-)
==='''Akhet I-30'''===
I've found a bunch of critters and now have as much strength as i have dexterity (3). Running around in the desert isn't very interesting so i look for bodies of water and do some herb gathering. I've found two more bugs in the process. I really should get a rabbit from someone and pitch it and make a fennec cage to claim the level but just haven't gotten around to it.

I'm coming to the head of the Metallic Obelisk queue in QR. The person two people ahead of me hasn't been logged on in over a week so the person immediately ahead of me has built. When she passes, and if the person ahead of me still hasn't been seen i'll put up my obelisk. If she shows up and is ready to build she'll go next. In either case i should pass my first actual test some time in the next two weeks.

I made a scent lab and started playing with it, only to find out that it will take a lot of research to get anything useful out of it. I managed to drive my first batch of incense to quality zero. My second batch had a high value of over 160 but i dragged it down with further experimenting. It looks like there are 42 different initial tendencies for the incense, one positive and one negative. Each one corresponds to one of the stat skills. Then there is a scent; i've had pine and something else (i've misplaced my notebook). There is some research elsewhere in the wiki but since the effects are both ephemeral and minor it isn't very worthwhile to pursue. I'll do it anyway but it will be slow.
==='''Akhet II-10'''===
My Metallic Obelisk is built and ticking away.

I got another Acrobatic move and am now at dexterity 4. I've found my last frog and an ibis and (whatever else i may have written above) i need one more animal to get to strength 4. I guess i'm going to have to start buckling down and go after my eagles and fennecs.

I participated in a heptathalon, which is a one-RL-hour timed contest in which one picks grass, picks slate, gathers silt, fishes, gathers wood, grows flax, and grows veggies. (Hmm, i thought gathering clay was in there too. I'll have to check when i log in next.) I ended up with 142 points out of a possible 700, but i think the winner only got about 250 so it wasn't that bad. I did mostly slate and grass, with some fish and silt, and a token amount of wood that didn't score me any points but did qualify me as having attempted that contest so i got another steel for my effort.
==='''Akhet II-15'''===
My obelisk is still chugging along.

I decided that i wanted a brick machine because i thought (mistakenly, as it turns out) that it would allow me to make clay bricks. (Because what i ''really'' want is a charcoal oven, but of course before one can do anything one must do something else first.) It took me all evening, but i reacted the bronze (80) and brass (8) that i'd need, then cast it into 80 bearing along with the 4 small gears and 2 medium gears. For no particular reason i fired up the Master's Forge and made an extrusion plate, and as long as it was hot i made 4 lead chisels. I put the extrusion plate in my improved Student Forge, fired ''it'' up, made the 4 sheets of copper and then spent the rest of the time making copper wire.

Imagine my disappointment when, after putting clay and sand into the contraption, i tried to start making wet clay bricks. That's what i get for not checking more carefully. However all is not lost. I figure i can get one of my neighbors to start the machine for me after i load it up, since they undoubtedly have learned Masonry along the way.

I managed to make some low-grade +end -str incense (that is, when i stuck the sap in it was already above 167 in quality). I also determined that the buff stacks by eating a grilled onion and then sniffing the incense. Lo and behold, my END was 3 instead of 0. It's not all that useful as the effects lasted less than 5 minutes and the stick of incense burned about the same length of time, but what the heck. (Oh, my strength went down by one, but since i am a MIGHTY SAFARIAN it was still 2. :-)

So i'll start accumulating wet clay bricks (i should have 600 over with Sam and Bessie) and then i'll start putting together my first charcoal oven.

==My Petition==
Petition by Aku

Aku for Queen's Retreat Regional Garbage Collector

Oh, People of Queen's Retreat, hear the plea of Aku, a humble handmaiden of the region. Our public areas become blighted with abandoned flimsy brick racks, wood planes, and small distaffs. The people become discontent yet all efforts to legislate a solution fall short in some way, and the blight remains.

I petition to be granted the awesome power to salvage any of the three above items in Queen's Retreat which are not within a compound. I realize that this is a great power, and i understand the reluctance anyone might feel in granting it, unchecked, to a single individual. I pledge to use discretion and judgement, and that i am a thoughtful and civic-minded person with no intention of causing harm or unhappiness.

I believe this would do good for the region, clearing places for newcomers to experience Egypt in its beauty. I also believe that nothing short of this will alleviate the problem.

And since this isn't outrageous enough, i request that only the votes of citizens whose primary guild is in Queen's Retreat be counted.

Submitted for your consideration by Aku.

==Inclinations==
I don't have the time to spend grinding my way to the top, so i end up soloing a lot. I'm making an effort to be more social this time around. I like mentoring so if you want advice feel free to chat me and i'll see what i can do. If i don't answer right away i may be making glass or charcoal.

==History==
I played all of T1, sporadically in T2 and T3. I'm hoping to make it all the way through this one.

Aku: /* Akhet II-10 */

==Home==
My home is in Queen's Refuge at 499, -6205. I've joined Mixed Nuts, the Queen's Refuge public works guild so it looks like i'll be hanging around for the time being. Much of the equipment in my compound is public.
*Public equipment
**2 Student Forges with Nail Molds (but no extrusion plates), one has pinch rollers.
**1 Master Forge, unimproved
**8 True Kilns
**2 Charcoal Hearths
**15 Improved Brick Racks
**1 Basic Carpenter's Bench (no upgrades)
**1 Student's Casting Box
**1 Anvil (bring your own hammers)
**2 Compression Furnaces
**1 Water Mine
**1 Reactory, unimproved

I reserve the right to turn any of these back to "Private Use" if i'm in the middle of a project. There is a box next to the charcoal hearths for any donations that anyone would like to make. I'll gratefully accept anything (except mud and sand :-) but don't feel obligated; I'm a big believer in "paying forward".

==Status==
Level 13
*STR 3, DEX 3, SPD 1, everything else 0.
*Initiate of Leadership
**Demi-Pharoah - i signed up to participate in the next DP election when i finally figured out that to pass the principle i have to participate in 3 rounds of the election, meaning (most likely) round 1 in 3 separate elections, rather than making it to the third round in any given election.
**Mentoring - i've got the buildings but haven't seen many new folks, so i haven't been spending much time on Welcome Island, so i haven't seen many new folks...
*Initiate of Body
**Acrobat - (passed Principle) have AI, BJ, CS, CPU, IP, JS, KU, RP, SB, SF, SQ, TT, and WS, have taught 52.
**Cicadas - (passed Principle) I actually got a speed point.
**Safari - Got 3 frogs, 3 otters, 2 gazelles an ibis, 3 rat, and a fennec. Need to drop a rabbit and build a fennec trap to pass Principle.
*Initiate of Architecture
**Obelisk - passed Principle, and i put myself in the queue for a Metallic Obelisk of 21 cubits. I have the materials.
*Initiate of Harmony
**Test of the Prophet (principle)
*Initiate of Art & Science - built statue at my compound which only has 13 votes, and finally got impatient and built, opened, and tore down a second sculpture to pass the principle.
*Initiate of Thought

*L7 - in 100 picks i got 3 83 times and 4 17 times

==Current Projects==
Having the attention span of a mayfly has its disadvantages, but a short "to do" list is not one of them.

===Blacksmithing===
I am currently questing after the 8K shovel and hatchet. I can pretty reliably make a 7.5K one of each (and if anyone wants one send me a tell in-game and we can haggle about price) but once i get there the screwing around i do just makes it worse. Of course i've only been practicing for a day so i am quite hopeful.

Then, of course, i'll start questing for 9K...

Resin wedges, on the other hand, are weird, or at least different enough from the other two that my threashholds seem to be 1K lower.

===Mentoring===
I've been back to Welcome Island several times. I've even helped some people. :-) One or two pledged me a Mentor point but so far no one has actually registered any. Oh, well. It's disappointing but that isn't really why i like Mentoring.

===General Metalworking===
I'm slowly building up the stock to build a blast furnace and reactory of my own. To that end i've been trading with The Goods, a fine institution that i can't recommend highly enough. (Though the new "donation phase" thing is a bit off-putting; i don't see anyone who's not a member of The Goods donating a large gear for free, but perhaps i'm being uncharitable.) I've gotten the concrete and topaz, and will be trading for some tin to try to make steel in the Guild reactory so that i can make the sheeting.

I've become familiar with the reactory and have gotten 100% on steel, brass, bronze, and Moon Steel. It takes me about 6 tries to get a useable amount of metal.

===Skills I am sorta working on===
*Salvage Techniques 4 - my water mine is slowly generating cuttables.

===Social Things===
I'm trying to pay attention to things like digs, acro, and other activties that can only be done with crowds. I'm not entirely succeeding...

==Water Mine Data==
22 degrees, one full winding, 3 Amethysts, 2 Citrine, 1 Jade, 1 Sunstone, 1 Turquoise, 1 Small Quartz, 1 Medium Quartz, 1 Medium Ruby

Since then i've had better luck at 20 or 21 degrees.

==My Semi-Blog==
I'll put my observations here when i am moved to record them, which won't be regularly.

==='''Year 1, Shemu II-24'''===
I've made a lot of progress on my gyration cell. The Moon Steel turned out to be less troublesome than i had planned for, and in fact i've got all 50 smelted. I should be able to get the cement i'll need from The Goods if i can't find it locally. The gravel will be a nuisance as i've run out of Medium Stones. Mostly what's left is mining a huge pile of copper and tin to make the sheeting and then making the sheeting. I may have to put pinch rollers in my second Student Forge to speed up the process.
==='''Year 1 Shemu II-28'''===
I got my second Navigation point for 20 glass rods. I'll set it at the mining compound which i will build next to the guild one. Then i can start mining copper in earnest. I've found an existing gyration cell that i can borrow which will speed things up immensely.
==='''Year 1 Shemu III-10'''===
I finished mining and smelting the copper i neeed for the sheets. Now i just have to forge them. I may have to invest in two more pinch rollers to upgrade another student forge for sheets but that means more mining.

I spent a couple of hours on Welcome Island. Hardly anyone responded to my offer of help though i did have a lively exchange with one fellow who should do fine and a rather odd exchange with another, the second person being unable to understand that i was an experienced player who was chosing to help out newcomers. ("Why r u here?") Overall it was satisfying, but i'm not pushy enough to translate any of it into Mentor points. There is a fuzzy line between helping out a newcomer and being bossy. I err firmly on the offer-only-when-asked side. I'm also "only" on for an hour or two a day at most, so i'm not an ideal candidate for a Mentor. So it goes.

Level 12 continues to elude me. I'll have to investigate Towers again, and start putting myself forward for the Worship init. Acrobatics is progressing slowly but surely and will continue that way since i don't have the fortitude to hang around for one of the massive Acro lines. I like the "acro blobs" better, and they happen periodically around the QR chariot stop, which i can see from my compound.
==='''Year 1 Shemu III-14'''===
I had a run-in with server lag. I was tending my firepit when everything froze for several seconds. When it unlocked i poked the fire but it was too late and the fire went out. It had been burning less than five minutes so in spite of having a full load of papyrus, flax, and leeks i got 12 ash. I was moderately bummed out.

To console myself i set up for a second firepit run, growing 300 flax with some 2/2/2 seeds (which have already been surpassed) and making a papyrus run. During the run i bumped into my friend SamAdams, who helped gather my papyrus, so i stayed around and helped him gather his. He then let me into a small guild he's in which was great because they have a bunch of the cool buildings (including the gyration cell i've been borrowing). I immediately made 600 charcoal in their charcoal oven, in spite of the continued lag. (I did have to abandon my efforts to run the charcoal hearth at the same time.)

This failure to advance in levels is getting to be a problem. I was reviewing my progress on my personal gyration cell and realized that i can't even build it myself until i hit Level 13 because i need Metallurgy III. I think i'm going to have to stifle my urge to own the high-tech production buildings and spend some time leveling. With that in mind i put my name on the Metallic Obelisk queue at size 22. I've got two weeks to come up with the materials. The only one that looks hard is the mirror (assuming size 22 still needs only one; i haven't checked the exact requirements yet). The rest i can either make myself or purchase at The Goods without too much trouble. I wonder if i can get my Sheet Glass skill to 7 in two weeks?
==='''Year 1 Shemu III-16'''===
Yesterday was a good day.

I made excellent progress in collecting materials for my hypothetical Metallic Obelisk. I loaded up my Normal Glass furnace with a full 50 units of melted glass and started making glass sheets. It certainly started out grimly. I cracked the first seven sheets i attempted, though in the process i rose to skill 4. Then i succeeded once, and cracked another. By the time i had made 30 attempts i had 18 sheets of glass, having cracked 11 and lost one to over-fueling my bench. I was quite pleased. I hadn't known how many sheets i would have to crack for each skill level, but i hadn't expected to get to skill 6 in one session. I imagine that last level will be quite tedious to achieve, but it looks like it's doable in my time frame.

On the subject of the glazier's bench i have discovered, or reasoned out, a small refinement to the published technique. I have noticed that the later in the ten-tick heating cycle one adds additional fuel the smaller the spike. By watching the item timer tick down (especially easy with sheet glass) i am able to add 2 charcoal during the tenth tick, just before the temperature drops. This results in a spike of about 150 degrees in addition to the normal heat increase. This means that i can run the bench constantly without periodically stopping production to spike and cool it. (My bench is +56, -135.)

I traded the glass sheets with The Goods for strontium, platinum, and iron and still had a good deal of credit left over. If worse comes to worst i should be able to buy one of the mirrors.

I checked the material requirements for a 22-cubit Metallic Obelisk and it does in fact need 2 mirrors which is unfortunate but not unexpected. The materials i don't have are easy for me to produce myself so assuming i can take care of the mirrors and that no queue war erupts i'm in good shape for the Obelisk Test.
==='''Year 1 Shemu III-21'''===
Yay! One of my Prophecies came true. I am now Level 12. I signed up for Safari.

In other news i did another run of 30 attempted glass sheets. I cracked 4, fried one, and ended up with 25. Sadly my skill is still 6/7, but hopefully i'm that much closer to mirrors. I ran the firepit and poked it for a half-hour, only to discover that i had forgotten to put in the limestone. So i got 70 ash, which was nice, but no lime at all which is unfortunate because i actually have plenty of ash and needed the lime. Sigh.
==='''Year 1 Shemu III-22'''===
You can't do anything without doing something else first.

I planned to do some frog/rat/otter hunting today but first had promised to make some carpentry blades for the Queen of Denial guild. I loaded up the anvil and proceeded, using the excellent guides that have been published elsewhere (see the [[Blacksmithing_Guide |Blacksmithing Guide]] and check the references at the bottom of that page.) The "eight hits across the front" with the force 8 Shaping Mallet take some practice, as there are more than 8 nodes across the front edge, but it turns out to only matter a little. I've also added a refinement where i use the Shaping Mallet at force 5 to depress the area behind the edge around the V-shaped notch in the back before starting in on the directions in the guide. The results after following the guide are worse than just doing the guide, but i've been able to clean it up to 7.5K with about fifty more hits, where i could never clean up the guide blade to more than about 7.2K. I ended up with five in the 7.2K range and one 7.5K blade (the last one.)

Running back from QoD to my compound i found a flock of sheep, and being perennially short of leather i grabbed one. I then went in search of a public sheep pen and failed to find one. So i built one to the west of the School of Architecture near the road. I had to dry some rotten flax, and since i was carrying a sheep i couldn't carry more than 200 bricks so i had to make 7 trips back and forth to my compound but it was close enough that it was only annoying. Then i made the pen public, slaughtered my sheep and stored the products.

Time to head out. But on my way to the chariot stop someone announced that they needed witnesses for their wedding. I'm a sucker for that kind of thing besides considering it an obligation of sorts since my compound is in sight of the altar (that is, when people gather at that altar for a wedding i can see the names when i'm standing in my compound.) On the way to the wedding i noticed an intriguing Pathfinder which i poked at while waiting for the crowd to assemble. Someone brought a hookah to the wedding and i got my first point (rhubarb). Then we had the wedding, which took four tries.

Then i got booted from the computer so that my kid could do homework. Ah well, there's always later.
==='''Shemu III-27'''===
I've been in the desert for a couple of days now hunting various critters. I'm going to be a little vague in the descriptions since i don't want to give away any locations. Anyway, i've not seen any rats or otters but did come across an interesting situation with regard to cicadas. I found a spot that had multiple cages and after picking bugs from all of them i decided to try to break the cluster up a little. My first attempt moved all the cages instead of just one and to my surprise there were now more cages visible. It appears that it is possible for cages to be exactly on top of each other, something i hadn't known.

Yikes! Someone dropped out of the Metallic Obelisk queue, so i have four days less than i had planned to come up with two mirrors. I think i'm going to have to cut my rat-hunting expedition short.

==='''Shemu IV-2'''===
I'm still hunting in the desert. I haven't found any rats or otters but did locate a couple of frogs. They seem pretty straightforward and should be my ticket to a strength point.
==='''Shemu IV-7'''===
I'm back from my desert roaming. I found a lot of bugs so that part went well. On the other hand i didn't see any rats or otters. I refurbished a couple of my remote outposts but wasn't able to do anything with the one in the NE corner of the map due to an unremembered complete lack of grass in the area. I'll have to bring some supplies the next time i head that way.

My Sheet Glass skill is now at 7, which happened on the third sheet of my glass run. I had burned and boiled enough supplies to stock the glazier's bench up to 50 glass, so hitting my goal on the third try was somewhat anti-climactic. Still, i can't really complain (or can i? :-).

I let everything cool and pulled the two intact sheets, then headed for The Goods. I got some leather to contribute toward a guild Barrel Grinder, either for construction or operation, and a batch of cement and some Medium Stones to make into concrete. Silver Powder is still hideously expensive (at least to buy 200 debens) and someone has slurped up the last mirror so i don't have the option of paying a lot of Goodscript for one. Hopefully the Barrel Grinder will be completed soon. I still have two weeks before my turn in the Obelisk queue comes up.

I made a sledgehammer and attacked one of the Medium Stones. It's just as annoying as i remember it being. I did my experiment between two hills to see if gravity played any role in the process but it doesn't seem to, that is, the ejecta scooted indifferently up and down slopes for the same distance. This is one of those activities which is possible to solo but which goes much quicker with help. I like activities with that quality since i'm not able to play regularly for hours at a time, so group activities are hard to schedule.
==='''Shemu IV-14'''===
Busy, busy, busy.

I haven't found any more frogs, but did find an otter and an ibis, so i got my first strength point. Whee! I celebrated by loading up with silt on my way back to camp from the ibis. This will make a lot of things easier. I'm going to enjoy it, i'm sure.

While out exploring i found a Mixed Nuts mining compound that had degenerated to 0%. I spent the time to repair it but couldn't do anything for the equipment inside; Compression Furnaces seem to be resistant to my Structure Repair 2 skill, and i just built a new Hackling Rake rather than try to repair the one in the compound.

When i got back i pitched in for at Mixed Nuts project to build a Barrel Grinder. The only thing that's left is the 120 bearings, so i'm making half the bronze. So far i've got 99 done, including 2 perfect runs. On the other hand i ran out of Fern Palm resin and had to dash out and get more, but fortunately it's pretty common. I hope to finish the last of the bronze tonight, and then i'll fire up the Master Casting Box and make some bearings.
==='''Shemu IV-16'''===
I finished up my share of the bronze for bearings, using up the last of my copper to do so. I fired up the MCB and started cranking out batches of 10 bearings. While i was doing that other-person-in-the-guild-whose-name-i-am-totally-blanking-on finished up the rest of the bronze (and then some; he was on a roll) and took over the MCB. The barrel grinder is now finished. Now i just need to <del>bully</del> sweet talk a grinding party into existence.

I made a tech run to Saqquarah. I feel somewhat guilty doing so, but it's part of how the game works. I picked up papermaking and gem cutting, so now i have an opportunity to blow more of my resources building things that will be time sinks. Heh. Welcome to Egypt. I also got my pyramid construction skill up to 7, so should a general madness overtake Egypt it would be possible for me to become an Oracle. It's nice to set goals that are beyond one's reach.

As long as i was in the neighborhood i picked up 95 white sand (yay STR 1!). While carting it around (perhaps that was why i never caught the gazelle, see below) it occurred to me that the only sensible place to make Fine Glass products is within short walking distance of a white sand patch, at least until one gets at least STR 3 and could conceivably carry (with peppers) 3000 debens, or enough for one run of the glazier's oven.

I saw a gazelle today. They are cute but annoying. I put a call out on E! but there were no takers, so i chased it around a bit and then went home.

I've changed the format of my semi-blog, as it was getting to be too much of a nuisance to scroll down through the whole thing. I'm lazy. So sue me. :-)

==='''Shemu IV-19'''===
Finally got Cooking 1. I borrowed some carrot seeds from Queen of Denial and grew the veggies. It was nice that, with STR 1 and DEX 3 I could just waltz them over to the school instead of dumping my usual tools first. Stat boosts are fun!
==='''Akhet I-7'''===
It's been awhile. I've got 2 strength points now, which is very nice. I built my first tower and got 4% of Egypt. I've also gotten a macro to work for the first time in 4 Tellings and while it was very convenient and did a much better job than i could (it is a mining macro) i still felt vaguely cheap somehow. Not cheap enough to stop doing it, mind you, just mildly uncomfortable.

I also came face-to-face with a reality that's been percolating in the back of my head for awhile but which came into sharp focus when a guildmate mentioned that he had nineteen cicada cages out and working. There is no way in hell that i would ever spend the time necessary to accomplish this. So, the reality is that Egypt really is not for the casual player. I like to do different things but this means by definition that i will never excel in any of them, because there is someone in the game who is specializing in whatever it is.

What i'm finding is that this leaves me completely unmotivated to participate in the large-scale aspects of the game. As a "good citizen" of Egypt i should spend time judging statues, solving puzzles, and watching events, but the way i figure it the seven (or 12 or 21) people who really care should just get together and pass each other and let the rest of us get on with whatever insignificant piddly tasks amuse us. The material costs for the test buildings are enormous, and the costs for the building to make the materials for the test buildings are pretty large as well. It takes me a long time to put that much effort together. I understand that that's the way the game is designed and that i'm here by choice. Fine. But what i'm finding is that i can amuse myself without paying any attention to what passes for the plot of this Telling.

That's not to say i'm anti-social. If a guildmate asked for help collecting resources or putting things together i'd be there. But doing something For The Good of Egypt? Meh. I'm also not belittling in any way the efforts of the people who chose to put in the time. They're working hard, and they're reaping the rewards. That seems fair enough to me. In many cases (the Veggie Pyramids come to mind) i reap some benefits as well. Do i feel a little guilty? Perhaps. But that's part of the game, too. And i'm showing my approval in the only way that Teppy cares about: i'm paying my subscription fee. So the only two people who really matter are satisfied.
==='''Akhet I-11'''===
My gyration cell is done! I spent an hour and a half finishing up the tin sheets and glass tubes. I threw in 1500 copper ore i'd extracted from my copper mine and then went to one of the Mixed Nuts iron mines. The wiki page said it was level 4 and fixed but it was actually level 8 and fixed. Unfortunately it collapsed after 4 pulls and i felt compelled to fix it, so i did. I then pulled almost 1600 ore out and threw that in the gyration cell. Sweet. :-)
==='''Akhet I-30'''===
I've found a bunch of critters and now have as much strength as i have dexterity (3). Running around in the desert isn't very interesting so i look for bodies of water and do some herb gathering. I've found two more bugs in the process. I really should get a rabbit from someone and pitch it and make a fennec cage to claim the level but just haven't gotten around to it.

I'm coming to the head of the Metallic Obelisk queue in QR. The person two people ahead of me hasn't been logged on in over a week so the person immediately ahead of me has built. When she passes, and if the person ahead of me still hasn't been seen i'll put up my obelisk. If she shows up and is ready to build she'll go next. In either case i should pass my first actual test some time in the next two weeks.

I made a scent lab and started playing with it, only to find out that it will take a lot of research to get anything useful out of it. I managed to drive my first batch of incense to quality zero. My second batch had a high value of over 160 but i dragged it down with further experimenting. It looks like there are 42 different initial tendencies for the incense, one positive and one negative. Each one corresponds to one of the stat skills. Then there is a scent; i've had pine and something else (i've misplaced my notebook). There is some research elsewhere in the wiki but since the effects are both ephemeral and minor it isn't very worthwhile to pursue. I'll do it anyway but it will be slow.
==='''Akhet II-10'''===
My Metallic Obelisk is built and ticking away.

I got another Acrobatic move and am now at dexterity 4. I've found my last frog and an ibis and (whatever else i may have written above) i need one more animal to get to strength 4. I guess i'm going to have to start buckling down and go after my eagles and fennecs.

I participated in a heptathalon, which is a one-RL-hour timed contest in which one picks grass, picks slate, gathers silt, fishes, gathers wood, grows flax, and grows veggies. (Hmm, i thought gathering clay was in there too. I'll have to check when i log in next.) I ended up with 142 points out of a possible 700, but i think the winner only got about 250 so it wasn't that bad. I did mostly slate and grass, with some fish and silt, and a token amount of wood that didn't score me any points but did qualify me as having attempted that contest so i got another steel for my effort.
==='''Akhet II-15'''===
My obelisk is still chugging along.

I decided that i wanted a brick machine because i thought (mistakenly, as it turns out) that it would allow me to make clay bricks. (Because what i ''really'' want is a charcoal oven, but of course before one can do anything one must do something else first.) It took me all evening, but i reacted the bronze (80) and brass (8) that i'd need, then cast it into 80 bearing along with the 4 small gears and 2 medium gears. For no particular reason i fired up the Master's Forge and made an extrusion plate, and as long as it was hot i made 4 lead chisels. I put the extrusion plate in my improved Student Forge, fired ''it'' up, made the 4 sheets of copper and then spent the rest of the time making copper wire.

Imagine my disappointment when, after putting clay and sand into the contraption, i tried to start making wet clay bricks. That's what i get for not checking more carefully. However all is not lost. I figure i can get one of my neighbors to start the machine for me after i load it up, since they undoubtedly have learned Masonry along the way.

I managed to make some low-grade +end -str incense (that is, when i stuck the sap in it was already above 167 in quality). I also determined that the buff stacks by eating a grilled onion and then sniffing the incense. Lo and behold, my END was 3 instead of 0. It's not all that useful as the effects lasted less than 5 minutes and the stick of incense burned about the same length of time, but what the heck. (Oh, my strength went down by one, but since i am a MIGHTY SAFARIAN it was still 2. :-)

So i'll start accumulating wet clay bricks (i should have 600 over with Sam and Bessie) and then i'll start putting together my first charcoal oven.

==My Petition==
Petition by Aku

Aku for Queen's Retreat Regional Garbage Collector

Oh, People of Queen's Retreat, hear the plea of Aku, a humble handmaiden of the region. Our public areas become blighted with abandoned flimsy brick racks, wood planes, and small distaffs. The people become discontent yet all efforts to legislate a solution fall short in some way, and the blight remains.

I petition to be granted the awesome power to salvage any of the three above items in Queen's Retreat which are not within a compound. I realize that this is a great power, and i understand the reluctance anyone might feel in granting it, unchecked, to a single individual. I pledge to use discretion and judgement, and that i am a thoughtful and civic-minded person with no intention of causing harm or unhappiness.

I believe this would do good for the region, clearing places for newcomers to experience Egypt in its beauty. I also believe that nothing short of this will alleviate the problem.

And since this isn't outrageous enough, i request that only the votes of citizens whose primary guild is in Queen's Retreat be counted.

Submitted for your consideration by Aku.

==Inclinations==
I don't have the time to spend grinding my way to the top, so i end up soloing a lot. I'm making an effort to be more social this time around. I like mentoring so if you want advice feel free to chat me and i'll see what i can do. If i don't answer right away i may be making glass or charcoal.

==History==
I played all of T1, sporadically in T2 and T3. I'm hoping to make it all the way through this one.

Aku: /* Use */

== Source ==
Taught at [[Skills#School of Body|The People's School of the Human Body]].

== Cost ==
* 500 [[Grass]]

'''Level Required:''' 1

== Use ==
When equipped with a slate, glass or bronze [[Scythe]] and a papyrus [[Baskets|Basket]], you will use the Rhythmic Strength skill to increase the amount of grass collected.

This skill is leveled slowly through active use, (In other words you have to gather the grass manually to get the skill ups), to a maximum of level 7. Reaching level 7 may take anywhere between 1k to 20k grass, and possibly more. When you increase your Rhythmic Strength level, you will see this message in Main chat: "Your muscle memory seems to be improving: Your skill in Rhythmic Strength is now 2 out of 7" and so on for higher levels.

The problem with slate scythes resting after skill 4 has been fixed; at skill 5 you get 2 per pull and at 6 you get 2.2 with slate.

At skill 7 with a glass scythe you average a little over 3 per pull.

==Home==
My home is in Queen's Refuge at 499, -6205. I've joined Mixed Nuts, the Queen's Refuge public works guild so it looks like i'll be hanging around for the time being. Much of the equipment in my compound is public.
*Public equipment
**2 Student Forges with Nail Molds (but no extrusion plates), one has pinch rollers.
**1 Master Forge, unimproved
**8 True Kilns

**15 Improved Brick Racks
**1 Basic Carpenter's Bench (no upgrades)
**1 Student's Casting Box
**1 Anvil (bring your own hammers)
**2 Compression Furnaces
**1 Water Mine
**1 Reactory, unimproved

I reserve the right to turn any of these back to "Private Use" if i'm in the middle of a project. There is a box next to the charcoal hearths for any donations that anyone would like to make. I'll gratefully accept anything (except mud and sand :-) but don't feel obligated; I'm a big believer in "paying forward".

==Current Projects==
Having the attention span of a mayfly has its disadvantages, but a short "to do" list is not one of them.

===Blacksmithing===
I am currently questing after the 8K shovel and hatchet. I can pretty reliably make a 7.5K one of each (and if anyone wants one send me a tell in-game and we can haggle about price) but once i get there the screwing around i do just makes it worse. Of course i've only been practicing for a day so i am quite hopeful.

Then, of course, i'll start questing for 9K...

Resin wedges, on the other hand, are weird, or at least different enough from the other two that my threashholds seem to be 1K lower.

===Mentoring===
I've been back to Welcome Island several times. I've even helped some people. :-) One or two pledged me a Mentor point but so far no one has actually registered any. Oh, well. It's disappointing but that isn't really why i like Mentoring.

===General Metalworking===
I'm slowly building up the stock to build a blast furnace and reactory of my own. To that end i've been trading with The Goods, a fine institution that i can't recommend highly enough. (Though the new "donation phase" thing is a bit off-putting; i don't see anyone who's not a member of The Goods donating a large gear for free, but perhaps i'm being uncharitable.) I've gotten the concrete and topaz, and will be trading for some tin to try to make steel in the Guild reactory so that i can make the sheeting.

I've become familiar with the reactory and have gotten 100% on steel, brass, bronze, and Moon Steel. It takes me about 6 tries to get a useable amount of metal.

===Skills I am sorta working on===
*Salvage Techniques 4 - my water mine is slowly generating cuttables.

===Social Things===
I'm trying to pay attention to things like digs, acro, and other activties that can only be done with crowds. I'm not entirely succeeding...

==Water Mine Data==
22 degrees, one full winding, 3 Amethysts, 2 Citrine, 1 Jade, 1 Sunstone, 1 Turquoise, 1 Small Quartz, 1 Medium Quartz, 1 Medium Ruby

Since then i've had better luck at 20 or 21 degrees.

==My Semi-Blog==
I'll put my observations here when i am moved to record them, which won't be regularly.

==='''Year 1, Shemu II-24'''===
I've made a lot of progress on my gyration cell. The Moon Steel turned out to be less troublesome than i had planned for, and in fact i've got all 50 smelted. I should be able to get the cement i'll need from The Goods if i can't find it locally. The gravel will be a nuisance as i've run out of Medium Stones. Mostly what's left is mining a huge pile of copper and tin to make the sheeting and then making the sheeting. I may have to put pinch rollers in my second Student Forge to speed up the process.
==='''Year 1 Shemu II-28'''===
I got my second Navigation point for 20 glass rods. I'll set it at the mining compound which i will build next to the guild one. Then i can start mining copper in earnest. I've found an existing gyration cell that i can borrow which will speed things up immensely.
==='''Year 1 Shemu III-10'''===
I finished mining and smelting the copper i neeed for the sheets. Now i just have to forge them. I may have to invest in two more pinch rollers to upgrade another student forge for sheets but that means more mining.

I spent a couple of hours on Welcome Island. Hardly anyone responded to my offer of help though i did have a lively exchange with one fellow who should do fine and a rather odd exchange with another, the second person being unable to understand that i was an experienced player who was chosing to help out newcomers. ("Why r u here?") Overall it was satisfying, but i'm not pushy enough to translate any of it into Mentor points. There is a fuzzy line between helping out a newcomer and being bossy. I err firmly on the offer-only-when-asked side. I'm also "only" on for an hour or two a day at most, so i'm not an ideal candidate for a Mentor. So it goes.

Level 12 continues to elude me. I'll have to investigate Towers again, and start putting myself forward for the Worship init. Acrobatics is progressing slowly but surely and will continue that way since i don't have the fortitude to hang around for one of the massive Acro lines. I like the "acro blobs" better, and they happen periodically around the QR chariot stop, which i can see from my compound.
==='''Year 1 Shemu III-14'''===
I had a run-in with server lag. I was tending my firepit when everything froze for several seconds. When it unlocked i poked the fire but it was too late and the fire went out. It had been burning less than five minutes so in spite of having a full load of papyrus, flax, and leeks i got 12 ash. I was moderately bummed out.

To console myself i set up for a second firepit run, growing 300 flax with some 2/2/2 seeds (which have already been surpassed) and making a papyrus run. During the run i bumped into my friend SamAdams, who helped gather my papyrus, so i stayed around and helped him gather his. He then let me into a small guild he's in which was great because they have a bunch of the cool buildings (including the gyration cell i've been borrowing). I immediately made 600 charcoal in their charcoal oven, in spite of the continued lag. (I did have to abandon my efforts to run the charcoal hearth at the same time.)

This failure to advance in levels is getting to be a problem. I was reviewing my progress on my personal gyration cell and realized that i can't even build it myself until i hit Level 13 because i need Metallurgy III. I think i'm going to have to stifle my urge to own the high-tech production buildings and spend some time leveling. With that in mind i put my name on the Metallic Obelisk queue at size 22. I've got two weeks to come up with the materials. The only one that looks hard is the mirror (assuming size 22 still needs only one; i haven't checked the exact requirements yet). The rest i can either make myself or purchase at The Goods without too much trouble. I wonder if i can get my Sheet Glass skill to 7 in two weeks?
==='''Year 1 Shemu III-16'''===
Yesterday was a good day.

I made excellent progress in collecting materials for my hypothetical Metallic Obelisk. I loaded up my Normal Glass furnace with a full 50 units of melted glass and started making glass sheets. It certainly started out grimly. I cracked the first seven sheets i attempted, though in the process i rose to skill 4. Then i succeeded once, and cracked another. By the time i had made 30 attempts i had 18 sheets of glass, having cracked 11 and lost one to over-fueling my bench. I was quite pleased. I hadn't known how many sheets i would have to crack for each skill level, but i hadn't expected to get to skill 6 in one session. I imagine that last level will be quite tedious to achieve, but it looks like it's doable in my time frame.

On the subject of the glazier's bench i have discovered, or reasoned out, a small refinement to the published technique. I have noticed that the later in the ten-tick heating cycle one adds additional fuel the smaller the spike. By watching the item timer tick down (especially easy with sheet glass) i am able to add 2 charcoal during the tenth tick, just before the temperature drops. This results in a spike of about 150 degrees in addition to the normal heat increase. This means that i can run the bench constantly without periodically stopping production to spike and cool it. (My bench is +56, -135.)

I traded the glass sheets with The Goods for strontium, platinum, and iron and still had a good deal of credit left over. If worse comes to worst i should be able to buy one of the mirrors.

I checked the material requirements for a 22-cubit Metallic Obelisk and it does in fact need 2 mirrors which is unfortunate but not unexpected. The materials i don't have are easy for me to produce myself so assuming i can take care of the mirrors and that no queue war erupts i'm in good shape for the Obelisk Test.
==='''Year 1 Shemu III-21'''===
Yay! One of my Prophecies came true. I am now Level 12. I signed up for Safari.

In other news i did another run of 30 attempted glass sheets. I cracked 4, fried one, and ended up with 25. Sadly my skill is still 6/7, but hopefully i'm that much closer to mirrors. I ran the firepit and poked it for a half-hour, only to discover that i had forgotten to put in the limestone. So i got 70 ash, which was nice, but no lime at all which is unfortunate because i actually have plenty of ash and needed the lime. Sigh.
==='''Year 1 Shemu III-22'''===
You can't do anything without doing something else first.

I planned to do some frog/rat/otter hunting today but first had promised to make some carpentry blades for the Queen of Denial guild. I loaded up the anvil and proceeded, using the excellent guides that have been published elsewhere (see the [[Blacksmithing_Guide |Blacksmithing Guide]] and check the references at the bottom of that page.) The "eight hits across the front" with the force 8 Shaping Mallet take some practice, as there are more than 8 nodes across the front edge, but it turns out to only matter a little. I've also added a refinement where i use the Shaping Mallet at force 5 to depress the area behind the edge around the V-shaped notch in the back before starting in on the directions in the guide. The results after following the guide are worse than just doing the guide, but i've been able to clean it up to 7.5K with about fifty more hits, where i could never clean up the guide blade to more than about 7.2K. I ended up with five in the 7.2K range and one 7.5K blade (the last one.)

Running back from QoD to my compound i found a flock of sheep, and being perennially short of leather i grabbed one. I then went in search of a public sheep pen and failed to find one. So i built one to the west of the School of Architecture near the road. I had to dry some rotten flax, and since i was carrying a sheep i couldn't carry more than 200 bricks so i had to make 7 trips back and forth to my compound but it was close enough that it was only annoying. Then i made the pen public, slaughtered my sheep and stored the products.

Time to head out. But on my way to the chariot stop someone announced that they needed witnesses for their wedding. I'm a sucker for that kind of thing besides considering it an obligation of sorts since my compound is in sight of the altar (that is, when people gather at that altar for a wedding i can see the names when i'm standing in my compound.) On the way to the wedding i noticed an intriguing Pathfinder which i poked at while waiting for the crowd to assemble. Someone brought a hookah to the wedding and i got my first point (rhubarb). Then we had the wedding, which took four tries.

Then i got booted from the computer so that my kid could do homework. Ah well, there's always later.
==='''Shemu III-27'''===
I've been in the desert for a couple of days now hunting various critters. I'm going to be a little vague in the descriptions since i don't want to give away any locations. Anyway, i've not seen any rats or otters but did come across an interesting situation with regard to cicadas. I found a spot that had multiple cages and after picking bugs from all of them i decided to try to break the cluster up a little. My first attempt moved all the cages instead of just one and to my surprise there were now more cages visible. It appears that it is possible for cages to be exactly on top of each other, something i hadn't known.

Yikes! Someone dropped out of the Metallic Obelisk queue, so i have four days less than i had planned to come up with two mirrors. I think i'm going to have to cut my rat-hunting expedition short.

==='''Shemu IV-2'''===
I'm still hunting in the desert. I haven't found any rats or otters but did locate a couple of frogs. They seem pretty straightforward and should be my ticket to a strength point.
==='''Shemu IV-7'''===
I'm back from my desert roaming. I found a lot of bugs so that part went well. On the other hand i didn't see any rats or otters. I refurbished a couple of my remote outposts but wasn't able to do anything with the one in the NE corner of the map due to an unremembered complete lack of grass in the area. I'll have to bring some supplies the next time i head that way.

My Sheet Glass skill is now at 7, which happened on the third sheet of my glass run. I had burned and boiled enough supplies to stock the glazier's bench up to 50 glass, so hitting my goal on the third try was somewhat anti-climactic. Still, i can't really complain (or can i? :-).

I let everything cool and pulled the two intact sheets, then headed for The Goods. I got some leather to contribute toward a guild Barrel Grinder, either for construction or operation, and a batch of cement and some Medium Stones to make into concrete. Silver Powder is still hideously expensive (at least to buy 200 debens) and someone has slurped up the last mirror so i don't have the option of paying a lot of Goodscript for one. Hopefully the Barrel Grinder will be completed soon. I still have two weeks before my turn in the Obelisk queue comes up.

I made a sledgehammer and attacked one of the Medium Stones. It's just as annoying as i remember it being. I did my experiment between two hills to see if gravity played any role in the process but it doesn't seem to, that is, the ejecta scooted indifferently up and down slopes for the same distance. This is one of those activities which is possible to solo but which goes much quicker with help. I like activities with that quality since i'm not able to play regularly for hours at a time, so group activities are hard to schedule.
==='''Shemu IV-14'''===
Busy, busy, busy.

I haven't found any more frogs, but did find an otter and an ibis, so i got my first strength point. Whee! I celebrated by loading up with silt on my way back to camp from the ibis. This will make a lot of things easier. I'm going to enjoy it, i'm sure.

While out exploring i found a Mixed Nuts mining compound that had degenerated to 0%. I spent the time to repair it but couldn't do anything for the equipment inside; Compression Furnaces seem to be resistant to my Structure Repair 2 skill, and i just built a new Hackling Rake rather than try to repair the one in the compound.

When i got back i pitched in for at Mixed Nuts project to build a Barrel Grinder. The only thing that's left is the 120 bearings, so i'm making half the bronze. So far i've got 99 done, including 2 perfect runs. On the other hand i ran out of Fern Palm resin and had to dash out and get more, but fortunately it's pretty common. I hope to finish the last of the bronze tonight, and then i'll fire up the Master Casting Box and make some bearings.
==='''Shemu IV-16'''===
I finished up my share of the bronze for bearings, using up the last of my copper to do so. I fired up the MCB and started cranking out batches of 10 bearings. While i was doing that other-person-in-the-guild-whose-name-i-am-totally-blanking-on finished up the rest of the bronze (and then some; he was on a roll) and took over the MCB. The barrel grinder is now finished. Now i just need to <del>bully</del> sweet talk a grinding party into existence.

I made a tech run to Saqquarah. I feel somewhat guilty doing so, but it's part of how the game works. I picked up papermaking and gem cutting, so now i have an opportunity to blow more of my resources building things that will be time sinks. Heh. Welcome to Egypt. I also got my pyramid construction skill up to 7, so should a general madness overtake Egypt it would be possible for me to become an Oracle. It's nice to set goals that are beyond one's reach.

As long as i was in the neighborhood i picked up 95 white sand (yay STR 1!). While carting it around (perhaps that was why i never caught the gazelle, see below) it occurred to me that the only sensible place to make Fine Glass products is within short walking distance of a white sand patch, at least until one gets at least STR 3 and could conceivably carry (with peppers) 3000 debens, or enough for one run of the glazier's oven.

I saw a gazelle today. They are cute but annoying. I put a call out on E! but there were no takers, so i chased it around a bit and then went home.

I've changed the format of my semi-blog, as it was getting to be too much of a nuisance to scroll down through the whole thing. I'm lazy. So sue me. :-)

==='''Shemu IV-19'''===
Finally got Cooking 1. I borrowed some carrot seeds from Queen of Denial and grew the veggies. It was nice that, with STR 1 and DEX 3 I could just waltz them over to the school instead of dumping my usual tools first. Stat boosts are fun!
==='''Akhet I-7'''===
It's been awhile. I've got 2 strength points now, which is very nice. I built my first tower and got 4% of Egypt. I've also gotten a macro to work for the first time in 4 Tellings and while it was very convenient and did a much better job than i could (it is a mining macro) i still felt vaguely cheap somehow. Not cheap enough to stop doing it, mind you, just mildly uncomfortable.

I also came face-to-face with a reality that's been percolating in the back of my head for awhile but which came into sharp focus when a guildmate mentioned that he had nineteen cicada cages out and working. There is no way in hell that i would ever spend the time necessary to accomplish this. So, the reality is that Egypt really is not for the casual player. I like to do different things but this means by definition that i will never excel in any of them, because there is someone in the game who is specializing in whatever it is.

What i'm finding is that this leaves me completely unmotivated to participate in the large-scale aspects of the game. As a "good citizen" of Egypt i should spend time judging statues, solving puzzles, and watching events, but the way i figure it the seven (or 12 or 21) people who really care should just get together and pass each other and let the rest of us get on with whatever insignificant piddly tasks amuse us. The material costs for the test buildings are enormous, and the costs for the building to make the materials for the test buildings are pretty large as well. It takes me a long time to put that much effort together. I understand that that's the way the game is designed and that i'm here by choice. Fine. But what i'm finding is that i can amuse myself without paying any attention to what passes for the plot of this Telling.

That's not to say i'm anti-social. If a guildmate asked for help collecting resources or putting things together i'd be there. But doing something For The Good of Egypt? Meh. I'm also not belittling in any way the efforts of the people who chose to put in the time. They're working hard, and they're reaping the rewards. That seems fair enough to me. In many cases (the Veggie Pyramids come to mind) i reap some benefits as well. Do i feel a little guilty? Perhaps. But that's part of the game, too. And i'm showing my approval in the only way that Teppy cares about: i'm paying my subscription fee. So the only two people who really matter are satisfied.
==='''Akhet I-11'''===
My gyration cell is done! I spent an hour and a half finishing up the tin sheets and glass tubes. I threw in 1500 copper ore i'd extracted from my copper mine and then went to one of the Mixed Nuts iron mines. The wiki page said it was level 4 and fixed but it was actually level 8 and fixed. Unfortunately it collapsed after 4 pulls and i felt compelled to fix it, so i did. I then pulled almost 1600 ore out and threw that in the gyration cell. Sweet. :-)
==='''Akhet I-30'''===
I've found a bunch of critters and now have as much strength as i have dexterity (3). Running around in the desert isn't very interesting so i look for bodies of water and do some herb gathering. I've found two more bugs in the process. I really should get a rabbit from someone and pitch it and make a fennec cage to claim the level but just haven't gotten around to it.

I'm coming to the head of the Metallic Obelisk queue in QR. The person two people ahead of me hasn't been logged on in over a week so the person immediately ahead of me has built. When she passes, and if the person ahead of me still hasn't been seen i'll put up my obelisk. If she shows up and is ready to build she'll go next. In either case i should pass my first actual test some time in the next two weeks.

I made a scent lab and started playing with it, only to find out that it will take a lot of research to get anything useful out of it. I managed to drive my first batch of incense to quality zero. My second batch had a high value of over 160 but i dragged it down with further experimenting. It looks like there are 42 different initial tendencies for the incense, one positive and one negative. Each one corresponds to one of the stat skills. Then there is a scent; i've had pine and something else (i've misplaced my notebook). There is some research elsewhere in the wiki but since the effects are both ephemeral and minor it isn't very worthwhile to pursue. I'll do it anyway but it will be slow.
==='''Akhet II-10'''===
My Metallic Obelisk is built and ticking away.

I got another Acrobatic move and am now at dexterity 4. I've found my last frog and an ibis and (whatever else i may have written above) i need one more animal to get to strength 4. I guess i'm going to have to start buckling down and go after my eagles and fennecs.

I participated in a heptathalon, which is a one-RL-hour timed contest in which one picks grass, picks slate, gathers silt, fishes, gathers wood, grows flax, and grows veggies. (Hmm, i thought gathering clay was in there too. I'll have to check when i log in next.) I ended up with 142 points out of a possible 700, but i think the winner only got about 250 so it wasn't that bad. I did mostly slate and grass, with some fish and silt, and a token amount of wood that didn't score me any points but did qualify me as having attempted that contest so i got another steel for my effort.

==My Petition==
Petition by Aku

Aku for Queen's Retreat Regional Garbage Collector

Oh, People of Queen's Retreat, hear the plea of Aku, a humble handmaiden of the region. Our public areas become blighted with abandoned flimsy brick racks, wood planes, and small distaffs. The people become discontent yet all efforts to legislate a solution fall short in some way, and the blight remains.

I petition to be granted the awesome power to salvage any of the three above items in Queen's Retreat which are not within a compound. I realize that this is a great power, and i understand the reluctance anyone might feel in granting it, unchecked, to a single individual. I pledge to use discretion and judgement, and that i am a thoughtful and civic-minded person with no intention of causing harm or unhappiness.

I believe this would do good for the region, clearing places for newcomers to experience Egypt in its beauty. I also believe that nothing short of this will alleviate the problem.

And since this isn't outrageous enough, i request that only the votes of citizens whose primary guild is in Queen's Retreat be counted.

Submitted for your consideration by Aku.

==Inclinations==
I don't have the time to spend grinding my way to the top, so i end up soloing a lot. I'm making an effort to be more social this time around. I like mentoring so if you want advice feel free to chat me and i'll see what i can do. If i don't answer right away i may be making glass or charcoal.

==History==
I played all of T1, sporadically in T2 and T3. I'm hoping to make it all the way through this one.

Aku: /* Status */

==Home==
My home is in Queen's Refuge at 499, -6205. I've joined Mixed Nuts, the Queen's Refuge public works guild so it looks like i'll be hanging around for the time being. Much of the equipment in my compound is public.
*Public equipment
**2 Student Forges with Nail Molds (but no extrusion plates), one has pinch rollers.
**1 Master Forge, unimproved
**8 True Kilns
**2 Charcoal Hearths
**15 Improved Brick Racks
**1 Basic Carpenter's Bench (no upgrades)
**1 Student's Casting Box
**1 Anvil (bring your own hammers)
**2 Compression Furnaces
**1 Water Mine
**1 Reactory, unimproved

I reserve the right to turn any of these back to "Private Use" if i'm in the middle of a project. There is a box next to the charcoal hearths for any donations that anyone would like to make. I'll gratefully accept anything (except mud and sand :-) but don't feel obligated; I'm a big believer in "paying forward".

==Status==
Level 13
*STR 3, DEX 3, SPD 1, everything else 0.
*Initiate of Leadership
**Demi-Pharoah - i signed up to participate in the next DP election when i finally figured out that to pass the principle i have to participate in 3 rounds of the election, meaning (most likely) round 1 in 3 separate elections, rather than making it to the third round in any given election.
**Mentoring - i've got the buildings but haven't seen many new folks, so i haven't been spending much time on Welcome Island, so i haven't seen many new folks...
*Initiate of Body
**Acrobat - (passed Principle) have AI, BJ, CS, CPU, IP, JS, KU, RP, SB, SF, SQ, TT, and WS, have taught 52.
**Cicadas - (passed Principle) I actually got a speed point.
**Safari - Got 3 frogs, 3 otters, 2 gazelles an ibis, 3 rat, and a fennec. Need to drop a rabbit and build a fennec trap to pass Principle.
*Initiate of Architecture
**Obelisk - passed Principle, and i put myself in the queue for a Metallic Obelisk of 21 cubits. I have the materials.
*Initiate of Harmony
**Test of the Prophet (principle)
*Initiate of Art & Science - built statue at my compound which only has 13 votes, and finally got impatient and built, opened, and tore down a second sculpture to pass the principle.
*Initiate of Thought
**Pathmaker (Principle)
*Worship -
**Principle of Marriage

Rhythmic Strength
*L3 - in 100 picks i got 1 about 7 times, otherwise got 2.
*L4 - in 100 picks i got 3 about 10 times, otherwise got 2.
*L5 - in 100 picks i got 3 almost half the time, otherwise got 2
*L6 - in 100 picks i got 3 80 times and 2 20 times
*L7 - in 100 picks i got 3 83 times and 4 17 times

==Current Projects==
Having the attention span of a mayfly has its disadvantages, but a short "to do" list is not one of them.

===Blacksmithing===
I am currently questing after the 8K shovel and hatchet. I can pretty reliably make a 7.5K one of each (and if anyone wants one send me a tell in-game and we can haggle about price) but once i get there the screwing around i do just makes it worse. Of course i've only been practicing for a day so i am quite hopeful.

Then, of course, i'll start questing for 9K...

Resin wedges, on the other hand, are weird, or at least different enough from the other two that my threashholds seem to be 1K lower.

===Mentoring===
I've been back to Welcome Island several times. I've even helped some people. :-) One or two pledged me a Mentor point but so far no one has actually registered any. Oh, well. It's disappointing but that isn't really why i like Mentoring.

===General Metalworking===
I'm slowly building up the stock to build a blast furnace and reactory of my own. To that end i've been trading with The Goods, a fine institution that i can't recommend highly enough. (Though the new "donation phase" thing is a bit off-putting; i don't see anyone who's not a member of The Goods donating a large gear for free, but perhaps i'm being uncharitable.) I've gotten the concrete and topaz, and will be trading for some tin to try to make steel in the Guild reactory so that i can make the sheeting.

I've become familiar with the reactory and have gotten 100% on steel, brass, bronze, and Moon Steel. It takes me about 6 tries to get a useable amount of metal.

===Skills I am sorta working on===
*Salvage Techniques 4 - my water mine is slowly generating cuttables.

===Social Things===
I'm trying to pay attention to things like digs, acro, and other activties that can only be done with crowds. I'm not entirely succeeding...

==Water Mine Data==
22 degrees, one full winding, 3 Amethysts, 2 Citrine, 1 Jade, 1 Sunstone, 1 Turquoise, 1 Small Quartz, 1 Medium Quartz, 1 Medium Ruby

Since then i've had better luck at 20 or 21 degrees.

==My Semi-Blog==
I'll put my observations here when i am moved to record them, which won't be regularly.

==='''Year 1, Shemu II-24'''===
I've made a lot of progress on my gyration cell. The Moon Steel turned out to be less troublesome than i had planned for, and in fact i've got all 50 smelted. I should be able to get the cement i'll need from The Goods if i can't find it locally. The gravel will be a nuisance as i've run out of Medium Stones. Mostly what's left is mining a huge pile of copper and tin to make the sheeting and then making the sheeting. I may have to put pinch rollers in my second Student Forge to speed up the process.
==='''Year 1 Shemu II-28'''===
I got my second Navigation point for 20 glass rods. I'll set it at the mining compound which i will build next to the guild one. Then i can start mining copper in earnest. I've found an existing gyration cell that i can borrow which will speed things up immensely.
==='''Year 1 Shemu III-10'''===
I finished mining and smelting the copper i neeed for the sheets. Now i just have to forge them. I may have to invest in two more pinch rollers to upgrade another student forge for sheets but that means more mining.

I spent a couple of hours on Welcome Island. Hardly anyone responded to my offer of help though i did have a lively exchange with one fellow who should do fine and a rather odd exchange with another, the second person being unable to understand that i was an experienced player who was chosing to help out newcomers. ("Why r u here?") Overall it was satisfying, but i'm not pushy enough to translate any of it into Mentor points. There is a fuzzy line between helping out a newcomer and being bossy. I err firmly on the offer-only-when-asked side. I'm also "only" on for an hour or two a day at most, so i'm not an ideal candidate for a Mentor. So it goes.

Level 12 continues to elude me. I'll have to investigate Towers again, and start putting myself forward for the Worship init. Acrobatics is progressing slowly but surely and will continue that way since i don't have the fortitude to hang around for one of the massive Acro lines. I like the "acro blobs" better, and they happen periodically around the QR chariot stop, which i can see from my compound.
==='''Year 1 Shemu III-14'''===
I had a run-in with server lag. I was tending my firepit when everything froze for several seconds. When it unlocked i poked the fire but it was too late and the fire went out. It had been burning less than five minutes so in spite of having a full load of papyrus, flax, and leeks i got 12 ash. I was moderately bummed out.

To console myself i set up for a second firepit run, growing 300 flax with some 2/2/2 seeds (which have already been surpassed) and making a papyrus run. During the run i bumped into my friend SamAdams, who helped gather my papyrus, so i stayed around and helped him gather his. He then let me into a small guild he's in which was great because they have a bunch of the cool buildings (including the gyration cell i've been borrowing). I immediately made 600 charcoal in their charcoal oven, in spite of the continued lag. (I did have to abandon my efforts to run the charcoal hearth at the same time.)

This failure to advance in levels is getting to be a problem. I was reviewing my progress on my personal gyration cell and realized that i can't even build it myself until i hit Level 13 because i need Metallurgy III. I think i'm going to have to stifle my urge to own the high-tech production buildings and spend some time leveling. With that in mind i put my name on the Metallic Obelisk queue at size 22. I've got two weeks to come up with the materials. The only one that looks hard is the mirror (assuming size 22 still needs only one; i haven't checked the exact requirements yet). The rest i can either make myself or purchase at The Goods without too much trouble. I wonder if i can get my Sheet Glass skill to 7 in two weeks?
==='''Year 1 Shemu III-16'''===
Yesterday was a good day.

I made excellent progress in collecting materials for my hypothetical Metallic Obelisk. I loaded up my Normal Glass furnace with a full 50 units of melted glass and started making glass sheets. It certainly started out grimly. I cracked the first seven sheets i attempted, though in the process i rose to skill 4. Then i succeeded once, and cracked another. By the time i had made 30 attempts i had 18 sheets of glass, having cracked 11 and lost one to over-fueling my bench. I was quite pleased. I hadn't known how many sheets i would have to crack for each skill level, but i hadn't expected to get to skill 6 in one session. I imagine that last level will be quite tedious to achieve, but it looks like it's doable in my time frame.

On the subject of the glazier's bench i have discovered, or reasoned out, a small refinement to the published technique. I have noticed that the later in the ten-tick heating cycle one adds additional fuel the smaller the spike. By watching the item timer tick down (especially easy with sheet glass) i am able to add 2 charcoal during the tenth tick, just before the temperature drops. This results in a spike of about 150 degrees in addition to the normal heat increase. This means that i can run the bench constantly without periodically stopping production to spike and cool it. (My bench is +56, -135.)

I traded the glass sheets with The Goods for strontium, platinum, and iron and still had a good deal of credit left over. If worse comes to worst i should be able to buy one of the mirrors.

I checked the material requirements for a 22-cubit Metallic Obelisk and it does in fact need 2 mirrors which is unfortunate but not unexpected. The materials i don't have are easy for me to produce myself so assuming i can take care of the mirrors and that no queue war erupts i'm in good shape for the Obelisk Test.
==='''Year 1 Shemu III-21'''===
Yay! One of my Prophecies came true. I am now Level 12. I signed up for Safari.

In other news i did another run of 30 attempted glass sheets. I cracked 4, fried one, and ended up with 25. Sadly my skill is still 6/7, but hopefully i'm that much closer to mirrors. I ran the firepit and poked it for a half-hour, only to discover that i had forgotten to put in the limestone. So i got 70 ash, which was nice, but no lime at all which is unfortunate because i actually have plenty of ash and needed the lime. Sigh.
==='''Year 1 Shemu III-22'''===
You can't do anything without doing something else first.

I planned to do some frog/rat/otter hunting today but first had promised to make some carpentry blades for the Queen of Denial guild. I loaded up the anvil and proceeded, using the excellent guides that have been published elsewhere (see the [[Blacksmithing_Guide |Blacksmithing Guide]] and check the references at the bottom of that page.) The "eight hits across the front" with the force 8 Shaping Mallet take some practice, as there are more than 8 nodes across the front edge, but it turns out to only matter a little. I've also added a refinement where i use the Shaping Mallet at force 5 to depress the area behind the edge around the V-shaped notch in the back before starting in on the directions in the guide. The results after following the guide are worse than just doing the guide, but i've been able to clean it up to 7.5K with about fifty more hits, where i could never clean up the guide blade to more than about 7.2K. I ended up with five in the 7.2K range and one 7.5K blade (the last one.)

Running back from QoD to my compound i found a flock of sheep, and being perennially short of leather i grabbed one. I then went in search of a public sheep pen and failed to find one. So i built one to the west of the School of Architecture near the road. I had to dry some rotten flax, and since i was carrying a sheep i couldn't carry more than 200 bricks so i had to make 7 trips back and forth to my compound but it was close enough that it was only annoying. Then i made the pen public, slaughtered my sheep and stored the products.

Time to head out. But on my way to the chariot stop someone announced that they needed witnesses for their wedding. I'm a sucker for that kind of thing besides considering it an obligation of sorts since my compound is in sight of the altar (that is, when people gather at that altar for a wedding i can see the names when i'm standing in my compound.) On the way to the wedding i noticed an intriguing Pathfinder which i poked at while waiting for the crowd to assemble. Someone brought a hookah to the wedding and i got my first point (rhubarb). Then we had the wedding, which took four tries.

Then i got booted from the computer so that my kid could do homework. Ah well, there's always later.
==='''Shemu III-27'''===
I've been in the desert for a couple of days now hunting various critters. I'm going to be a little vague in the descriptions since i don't want to give away any locations. Anyway, i've not seen any rats or otters but did come across an interesting situation with regard to cicadas. I found a spot that had multiple cages and after picking bugs from all of them i decided to try to break the cluster up a little. My first attempt moved all the cages instead of just one and to my surprise there were now more cages visible. It appears that it is possible for cages to be exactly on top of each other, something i hadn't known.

Yikes! Someone dropped out of the Metallic Obelisk queue, so i have four days less than i had planned to come up with two mirrors. I think i'm going to have to cut my rat-hunting expedition short.

==='''Shemu IV-2'''===
I'm still hunting in the desert. I haven't found any rats or otters but did locate a couple of frogs. They seem pretty straightforward and should be my ticket to a strength point.
==='''Shemu IV-7'''===
I'm back from my desert roaming. I found a lot of bugs so that part went well. On the other hand i didn't see any rats or otters. I refurbished a couple of my remote outposts but wasn't able to do anything with the one in the NE corner of the map due to an unremembered complete lack of grass in the area. I'll have to bring some supplies the next time i head that way.

My Sheet Glass skill is now at 7, which happened on the third sheet of my glass run. I had burned and boiled enough supplies to stock the glazier's bench up to 50 glass, so hitting my goal on the third try was somewhat anti-climactic. Still, i can't really complain (or can i? :-).

I let everything cool and pulled the two intact sheets, then headed for The Goods. I got some leather to contribute toward a guild Barrel Grinder, either for construction or operation, and a batch of cement and some Medium Stones to make into concrete. Silver Powder is still hideously expensive (at least to buy 200 debens) and someone has slurped up the last mirror so i don't have the option of paying a lot of Goodscript for one. Hopefully the Barrel Grinder will be completed soon. I still have two weeks before my turn in the Obelisk queue comes up.

I made a sledgehammer and attacked one of the Medium Stones. It's just as annoying as i remember it being. I did my experiment between two hills to see if gravity played any role in the process but it doesn't seem to, that is, the ejecta scooted indifferently up and down slopes for the same distance. This is one of those activities which is possible to solo but which goes much quicker with help. I like activities with that quality since i'm not able to play regularly for hours at a time, so group activities are hard to schedule.
==='''Shemu IV-14'''===
Busy, busy, busy.

I haven't found any more frogs, but did find an otter and an ibis, so i got my first strength point. Whee! I celebrated by loading up with silt on my way back to camp from the ibis. This will make a lot of things easier. I'm going to enjoy it, i'm sure.

While out exploring i found a Mixed Nuts mining compound that had degenerated to 0%. I spent the time to repair it but couldn't do anything for the equipment inside; Compression Furnaces seem to be resistant to my Structure Repair 2 skill, and i just built a new Hackling Rake rather than try to repair the one in the compound.

When i got back i pitched in for at Mixed Nuts project to build a Barrel Grinder. The only thing that's left is the 120 bearings, so i'm making half the bronze. So far i've got 99 done, including 2 perfect runs. On the other hand i ran out of Fern Palm resin and had to dash out and get more, but fortunately it's pretty common. I hope to finish the last of the bronze tonight, and then i'll fire up the Master Casting Box and make some bearings.
==='''Shemu IV-16'''===
I finished up my share of the bronze for bearings, using up the last of my copper to do so. I fired up the MCB and started cranking out batches of 10 bearings. While i was doing that other-person-in-the-guild-whose-name-i-am-totally-blanking-on finished up the rest of the bronze (and then some; he was on a roll) and took over the MCB. The barrel grinder is now finished. Now i just need to <del>bully</del> sweet talk a grinding party into existence.

I made a tech run to Saqquarah. I feel somewhat guilty doing so, but it's part of how the game works. I picked up papermaking and gem cutting, so now i have an opportunity to blow more of my resources building things that will be time sinks. Heh. Welcome to Egypt. I also got my pyramid construction skill up to 7, so should a general madness overtake Egypt it would be possible for me to become an Oracle. It's nice to set goals that are beyond one's reach.

As long as i was in the neighborhood i picked up 95 white sand (yay STR 1!). While carting it around (perhaps that was why i never caught the gazelle, see below) it occurred to me that the only sensible place to make Fine Glass products is within short walking distance of a white sand patch, at least until one gets at least STR 3 and could conceivably carry (with peppers) 3000 debens, or enough for one run of the glazier's oven.

I saw a gazelle today. They are cute but annoying. I put a call out on E! but there were no takers, so i chased it around a bit and then went home.

I've changed the format of my semi-blog, as it was getting to be too much of a nuisance to scroll down through the whole thing. I'm lazy. So sue me. :-)

==='''Shemu IV-19'''===
Finally got Cooking 1. I borrowed some carrot seeds from Queen of Denial and grew the veggies. It was nice that, with STR 1 and DEX 3 I could just waltz them over to the school instead of dumping my usual tools first. Stat boosts are fun!
==='''Akhet I-7'''===
It's been awhile. I've got 2 strength points now, which is very nice. I built my first tower and got 4% of Egypt. I've also gotten a macro to work for the first time in 4 Tellings and while it was very convenient and did a much better job than i could (it is a mining macro) i still felt vaguely cheap somehow. Not cheap enough to stop doing it, mind you, just mildly uncomfortable.

I also came face-to-face with a reality that's been percolating in the back of my head for awhile but which came into sharp focus when a guildmate mentioned that he had nineteen cicada cages out and working. There is no way in hell that i would ever spend the time necessary to accomplish this. So, the reality is that Egypt really is not for the casual player. I like to do different things but this means by definition that i will never excel in any of them, because there is someone in the game who is specializing in whatever it is.

What i'm finding is that this leaves me completely unmotivated to participate in the large-scale aspects of the game. As a "good citizen" of Egypt i should spend time judging statues, solving puzzles, and watching events, but the way i figure it the seven (or 12 or 21) people who really care should just get together and pass each other and let the rest of us get on with whatever insignificant piddly tasks amuse us. The material costs for the test buildings are enormous, and the costs for the building to make the materials for the test buildings are pretty large as well. It takes me a long time to put that much effort together. I understand that that's the way the game is designed and that i'm here by choice. Fine. But what i'm finding is that i can amuse myself without paying any attention to what passes for the plot of this Telling.

That's not to say i'm anti-social. If a guildmate asked for help collecting resources or putting things together i'd be there. But doing something For The Good of Egypt? Meh. I'm also not belittling in any way the efforts of the people who chose to put in the time. They're working hard, and they're reaping the rewards. That seems fair enough to me. In many cases (the Veggie Pyramids come to mind) i reap some benefits as well. Do i feel a little guilty? Perhaps. But that's part of the game, too. And i'm showing my approval in the only way that Teppy cares about: i'm paying my subscription fee. So the only two people who really matter are satisfied.
==='''Akhet I-11'''===
My gyration cell is done! I spent an hour and a half finishing up the tin sheets and glass tubes. I threw in 1500 copper ore i'd extracted from my copper mine and then went to one of the Mixed Nuts iron mines. The wiki page said it was level 4 and fixed but it was actually level 8 and fixed. Unfortunately it collapsed after 4 pulls and i felt compelled to fix it, so i did. I then pulled almost 1600 ore out and threw that in the gyration cell. Sweet. :-)
==='''Akhet I-30'''===
I've found a bunch of critters and now have as much strength as i have dexterity (3). Running around in the desert isn't very interesting so i look for bodies of water and do some herb gathering. I've found two more bugs in the process. I really should get a rabbit from someone and pitch it and make a fennec cage to claim the level but just haven't gotten around to it.

I'm coming to the head of the Metallic Obelisk queue in QR. The person two people ahead of me hasn't been logged on in over a week so the person immediately ahead of me has built. When she passes, and if the person ahead of me still hasn't been seen i'll put up my obelisk. If she shows up and is ready to build she'll go next. In either case i should pass my first actual test some time in the next two weeks.

I made a scent lab and started playing with it, only to find out that it will take a lot of research to get anything useful out of it. I managed to drive my first batch of incense to quality zero. My second batch had a high value of over 160 but i dragged it down with further experimenting. It looks like there are 42 different initial tendencies for the incense, one positive and one negative. Each one corresponds to one of the stat skills. Then there is a scent; i've had pine and something else (i've misplaced my notebook). There is some research elsewhere in the wiki but since the effects are both ephemeral and minor it isn't very worthwhile to pursue. I'll do it anyway but it will be slow.

==My Petition==
Petition by Aku

Aku for Queen's Retreat Regional Garbage Collector

Oh, People of Queen's Retreat, hear the plea of Aku, a humble handmaiden of the region. Our public areas become blighted with abandoned flimsy brick racks, wood planes, and small distaffs. The people become discontent yet all efforts to legislate a solution fall short in some way, and the blight remains.

I petition to be granted the awesome power to salvage any of the three above items in Queen's Retreat which are not within a compound. I realize that this is a great power, and i understand the reluctance anyone might feel in granting it, unchecked, to a single individual. I pledge to use discretion and judgement, and that i am a thoughtful and civic-minded person with no intention of causing harm or unhappiness.

I believe this would do good for the region, clearing places for newcomers to experience Egypt in its beauty. I also believe that nothing short of this will alleviate the problem.

And since this isn't outrageous enough, i request that only the votes of citizens whose primary guild is in Queen's Retreat be counted.

Submitted for your consideration by Aku.

==Inclinations==
I don't have the time to spend grinding my way to the top, so i end up soloing a lot. I'm making an effort to be more social this time around. I like mentoring so if you want advice feel free to chat me and i'll see what i can do. If i don't answer right away i may be making glass or charcoal.

==History==
I played all of T1, sporadically in T2 and T3. I'm hoping to make it all the way through this one.

Aku: /* Status */

==Home==
My home is in Queen's Refuge at 499, -6205. I've joined Mixed Nuts, the Queen's Refuge public works guild so it looks like i'll be hanging around for the time being. Much of the equipment in my compound is public.
*Public equipment
**2 Student Forges with Nail Molds (but no extrusion plates), one has pinch rollers.
**1 Master Forge, unimproved
**8 True Kilns
**2 Charcoal Hearths
**15 Improved Brick Racks
**1 Basic Carpenter's Bench (no upgrades)
**1 Student's Casting Box
**1 Anvil (bring your own hammers)
**2 Compression Furnaces
**1 Water Mine
**1 Reactory, unimproved

I reserve the right to turn any of these back to "Private Use" if i'm in the middle of a project. There is a box next to the charcoal hearths for any donations that anyone would like to make. I'll gratefully accept anything (except mud and sand :-) but don't feel obligated; I'm a big believer in "paying forward".

==Status==

==Current Projects==
Having the attention span of a mayfly has its disadvantages, but a short "to do" list is not one of them.

===Blacksmithing===
I am currently questing after the 8K shovel and hatchet. I can pretty reliably make a 7.5K one of each (and if anyone wants one send me a tell in-game and we can haggle about price) but once i get there the screwing around i do just makes it worse. Of course i've only been practicing for a day so i am quite hopeful.

Then, of course, i'll start questing for 9K...

Resin wedges, on the other hand, are weird, or at least different enough from the other two that my threashholds seem to be 1K lower.

===Mentoring===
I've been back to Welcome Island several times. I've even helped some people. :-) One or two pledged me a Mentor point but so far no one has actually registered any. Oh, well. It's disappointing but that isn't really why i like Mentoring.

===General Metalworking===
I'm slowly building up the stock to build a blast furnace and reactory of my own. To that end i've been trading with The Goods, a fine institution that i can't recommend highly enough. (Though the new "donation phase" thing is a bit off-putting; i don't see anyone who's not a member of The Goods donating a large gear for free, but perhaps i'm being uncharitable.) I've gotten the concrete and topaz, and will be trading for some tin to try to make steel in the Guild reactory so that i can make the sheeting.

I've become familiar with the reactory and have gotten 100% on steel, brass, bronze, and Moon Steel. It takes me about 6 tries to get a useable amount of metal.

===Skills I am sorta working on===
*Salvage Techniques 4 - my water mine is slowly generating cuttables.

===Social Things===
I'm trying to pay attention to things like digs, acro, and other activties that can only be done with crowds. I'm not entirely succeeding...

==Water Mine Data==
22 degrees, one full winding, 3 Amethysts, 2 Citrine, 1 Jade, 1 Sunstone, 1 Turquoise, 1 Small Quartz, 1 Medium Quartz, 1 Medium Ruby

Since then i've had better luck at 20 or 21 degrees.

==My Semi-Blog==
I'll put my observations here when i am moved to record them, which won't be regularly.

==='''Year 1, Shemu II-24'''===
I've made a lot of progress on my gyration cell. The Moon Steel turned out to be less troublesome than i had planned for, and in fact i've got all 50 smelted. I should be able to get the cement i'll need from The Goods if i can't find it locally. The gravel will be a nuisance as i've run out of Medium Stones. Mostly what's left is mining a huge pile of copper and tin to make the sheeting and then making the sheeting. I may have to put pinch rollers in my second Student Forge to speed up the process.
==='''Year 1 Shemu II-28'''===
I got my second Navigation point for 20 glass rods. I'll set it at the mining compound which i will build next to the guild one. Then i can start mining copper in earnest. I've found an existing gyration cell that i can borrow which will speed things up immensely.
==='''Year 1 Shemu III-10'''===
I finished mining and smelting the copper i neeed for the sheets. Now i just have to forge them. I may have to invest in two more pinch rollers to upgrade another student forge for sheets but that means more mining.

I spent a couple of hours on Welcome Island. Hardly anyone responded to my offer of help though i did have a lively exchange with one fellow who should do fine and a rather odd exchange with another, the second person being unable to understand that i was an experienced player who was chosing to help out newcomers. ("Why r u here?") Overall it was satisfying, but i'm not pushy enough to translate any of it into Mentor points. There is a fuzzy line between helping out a newcomer and being bossy. I err firmly on the offer-only-when-asked side. I'm also "only" on for an hour or two a day at most, so i'm not an ideal candidate for a Mentor. So it goes.

Level 12 continues to elude me. I'll have to investigate Towers again, and start putting myself forward for the Worship init. Acrobatics is progressing slowly but surely and will continue that way since i don't have the fortitude to hang around for one of the massive Acro lines. I like the "acro blobs" better, and they happen periodically around the QR chariot stop, which i can see from my compound.
==='''Year 1 Shemu III-14'''===
I had a run-in with server lag. I was tending my firepit when everything froze for several seconds. When it unlocked i poked the fire but it was too late and the fire went out. It had been burning less than five minutes so in spite of having a full load of papyrus, flax, and leeks i got 12 ash. I was moderately bummed out.

To console myself i set up for a second firepit run, growing 300 flax with some 2/2/2 seeds (which have already been surpassed) and making a papyrus run. During the run i bumped into my friend SamAdams, who helped gather my papyrus, so i stayed around and helped him gather his. He then let me into a small guild he's in which was great because they have a bunch of the cool buildings (including the gyration cell i've been borrowing). I immediately made 600 charcoal in their charcoal oven, in spite of the continued lag. (I did have to abandon my efforts to run the charcoal hearth at the same time.)

This failure to advance in levels is getting to be a problem. I was reviewing my progress on my personal gyration cell and realized that i can't even build it myself until i hit Level 13 because i need Metallurgy III. I think i'm going to have to stifle my urge to own the high-tech production buildings and spend some time leveling. With that in mind i put my name on the Metallic Obelisk queue at size 22. I've got two weeks to come up with the materials. The only one that looks hard is the mirror (assuming size 22 still needs only one; i haven't checked the exact requirements yet). The rest i can either make myself or purchase at The Goods without too much trouble. I wonder if i can get my Sheet Glass skill to 7 in two weeks?
==='''Year 1 Shemu III-16'''===
Yesterday was a good day.

I made excellent progress in collecting materials for my hypothetical Metallic Obelisk. I loaded up my Normal Glass furnace with a full 50 units of melted glass and started making glass sheets. It certainly started out grimly. I cracked the first seven sheets i attempted, though in the process i rose to skill 4. Then i succeeded once, and cracked another. By the time i had made 30 attempts i had 18 sheets of glass, having cracked 11 and lost one to over-fueling my bench. I was quite pleased. I hadn't known how many sheets i would have to crack for each skill level, but i hadn't expected to get to skill 6 in one session. I imagine that last level will be quite tedious to achieve, but it looks like it's doable in my time frame.

On the subject of the glazier's bench i have discovered, or reasoned out, a small refinement to the published technique. I have noticed that the later in the ten-tick heating cycle one adds additional fuel the smaller the spike. By watching the item timer tick down (especially easy with sheet glass) i am able to add 2 charcoal during the tenth tick, just before the temperature drops. This results in a spike of about 150 degrees in addition to the normal heat increase. This means that i can run the bench constantly without periodically stopping production to spike and cool it. (My bench is +56, -135.)

I traded the glass sheets with The Goods for strontium, platinum, and iron and still had a good deal of credit left over. If worse comes to worst i should be able to buy one of the mirrors.

I checked the material requirements for a 22-cubit Metallic Obelisk and it does in fact need 2 mirrors which is unfortunate but not unexpected. The materials i don't have are easy for me to produce myself so assuming i can take care of the mirrors and that no queue war erupts i'm in good shape for the Obelisk Test.
==='''Year 1 Shemu III-21'''===
Yay! One of my Prophecies came true. I am now Level 12. I signed up for Safari.

In other news i did another run of 30 attempted glass sheets. I cracked 4, fried one, and ended up with 25. Sadly my skill is still 6/7, but hopefully i'm that much closer to mirrors. I ran the firepit and poked it for a half-hour, only to discover that i had forgotten to put in the limestone. So i got 70 ash, which was nice, but no lime at all which is unfortunate because i actually have plenty of ash and needed the lime. Sigh.
==='''Year 1 Shemu III-22'''===
You can't do anything without doing something else first.

I planned to do some frog/rat/otter hunting today but first had promised to make some carpentry blades for the Queen of Denial guild. I loaded up the anvil and proceeded, using the excellent guides that have been published elsewhere (see the [[Blacksmithing_Guide |Blacksmithing Guide]] and check the references at the bottom of that page.) The "eight hits across the front" with the force 8 Shaping Mallet take some practice, as there are more than 8 nodes across the front edge, but it turns out to only matter a little. I've also added a refinement where i use the Shaping Mallet at force 5 to depress the area behind the edge around the V-shaped notch in the back before starting in on the directions in the guide. The results after following the guide are worse than just doing the guide, but i've been able to clean it up to 7.5K with about fifty more hits, where i could never clean up the guide blade to more than about 7.2K. I ended up with five in the 7.2K range and one 7.5K blade (the last one.)

Running back from QoD to my compound i found a flock of sheep, and being perennially short of leather i grabbed one. I then went in search of a public sheep pen and failed to find one. So i built one to the west of the School of Architecture near the road. I had to dry some rotten flax, and since i was carrying a sheep i couldn't carry more than 200 bricks so i had to make 7 trips back and forth to my compound but it was close enough that it was only annoying. Then i made the pen public, slaughtered my sheep and stored the products.

Time to head out. But on my way to the chariot stop someone announced that they needed witnesses for their wedding. I'm a sucker for that kind of thing besides considering it an obligation of sorts since my compound is in sight of the altar (that is, when people gather at that altar for a wedding i can see the names when i'm standing in my compound.) On the way to the wedding i noticed an intriguing Pathfinder which i poked at while waiting for the crowd to assemble. Someone brought a hookah to the wedding and i got my first point (rhubarb). Then we had the wedding, which took four tries.

Then i got booted from the computer so that my kid could do homework. Ah well, there's always later.
==='''Shemu III-27'''===
I've been in the desert for a couple of days now hunting various critters. I'm going to be a little vague in the descriptions since i don't want to give away any locations. Anyway, i've not seen any rats or otters but did come across an interesting situation with regard to cicadas. I found a spot that had multiple cages and after picking bugs from all of them i decided to try to break the cluster up a little. My first attempt moved all the cages instead of just one and to my surprise there were now more cages visible. It appears that it is possible for cages to be exactly on top of each other, something i hadn't known.

Yikes! Someone dropped out of the Metallic Obelisk queue, so i have four days less than i had planned to come up with two mirrors. I think i'm going to have to cut my rat-hunting expedition short.

==='''Shemu IV-2'''===
I'm still hunting in the desert. I haven't found any rats or otters but did locate a couple of frogs. They seem pretty straightforward and should be my ticket to a strength point.
==='''Shemu IV-7'''===
I'm back from my desert roaming. I found a lot of bugs so that part went well. On the other hand i didn't see any rats or otters. I refurbished a couple of my remote outposts but wasn't able to do anything with the one in the NE corner of the map due to an unremembered complete lack of grass in the area. I'll have to bring some supplies the next time i head that way.

My Sheet Glass skill is now at 7, which happened on the third sheet of my glass run. I had burned and boiled enough supplies to stock the glazier's bench up to 50 glass, so hitting my goal on the third try was somewhat anti-climactic. Still, i can't really complain (or can i? :-).

I let everything cool and pulled the two intact sheets, then headed for The Goods. I got some leather to contribute toward a guild Barrel Grinder, either for construction or operation, and a batch of cement and some Medium Stones to make into concrete. Silver Powder is still hideously expensive (at least to buy 200 debens) and someone has slurped up the last mirror so i don't have the option of paying a lot of Goodscript for one. Hopefully the Barrel Grinder will be completed soon. I still have two weeks before my turn in the Obelisk queue comes up.

I made a sledgehammer and attacked one of the Medium Stones. It's just as annoying as i remember it being. I did my experiment between two hills to see if gravity played any role in the process but it doesn't seem to, that is, the ejecta scooted indifferently up and down slopes for the same distance. This is one of those activities which is possible to solo but which goes much quicker with help. I like activities with that quality since i'm not able to play regularly for hours at a time, so group activities are hard to schedule.
==='''Shemu IV-14'''===
Busy, busy, busy.

I haven't found any more frogs, but did find an otter and an ibis, so i got my first strength point. Whee! I celebrated by loading up with silt on my way back to camp from the ibis. This will make a lot of things easier. I'm going to enjoy it, i'm sure.

While out exploring i found a Mixed Nuts mining compound that had degenerated to 0%. I spent the time to repair it but couldn't do anything for the equipment inside; Compression Furnaces seem to be resistant to my Structure Repair 2 skill, and i just built a new Hackling Rake rather than try to repair the one in the compound.

When i got back i pitched in for at Mixed Nuts project to build a Barrel Grinder. The only thing that's left is the 120 bearings, so i'm making half the bronze. So far i've got 99 done, including 2 perfect runs. On the other hand i ran out of Fern Palm resin and had to dash out and get more, but fortunately it's pretty common. I hope to finish the last of the bronze tonight, and then i'll fire up the Master Casting Box and make some bearings.
==='''Shemu IV-16'''===
I finished up my share of the bronze for bearings, using up the last of my copper to do so. I fired up the MCB and started cranking out batches of 10 bearings. While i was doing that other-person-in-the-guild-whose-name-i-am-totally-blanking-on finished up the rest of the bronze (and then some; he was on a roll) and took over the MCB. The barrel grinder is now finished. Now i just need to <del>bully</del> sweet talk a grinding party into existence.

I made a tech run to Saqquarah. I feel somewhat guilty doing so, but it's part of how the game works. I picked up papermaking and gem cutting, so now i have an opportunity to blow more of my resources building things that will be time sinks. Heh. Welcome to Egypt. I also got my pyramid construction skill up to 7, so should a general madness overtake Egypt it would be possible for me to become an Oracle. It's nice to set goals that are beyond one's reach.

As long as i was in the neighborhood i picked up 95 white sand (yay STR 1!). While carting it around (perhaps that was why i never caught the gazelle, see below) it occurred to me that the only sensible place to make Fine Glass products is within short walking distance of a white sand patch, at least until one gets at least STR 3 and could conceivably carry (with peppers) 3000 debens, or enough for one run of the glazier's oven.

I saw a gazelle today. They are cute but annoying. I put a call out on E! but there were no takers, so i chased it around a bit and then went home.

I've changed the format of my semi-blog, as it was getting to be too much of a nuisance to scroll down through the whole thing. I'm lazy. So sue me. :-)

==='''Shemu IV-19'''===
Finally got Cooking 1. I borrowed some carrot seeds from Queen of Denial and grew the veggies. It was nice that, with STR 1 and DEX 3 I could just waltz them over to the school instead of dumping my usual tools first. Stat boosts are fun!
==='''Akhet I-7'''===
It's been awhile. I've got 2 strength points now, which is very nice. I built my first tower and got 4% of Egypt. I've also gotten a macro to work for the first time in 4 Tellings and while it was very convenient and did a much better job than i could (it is a mining macro) i still felt vaguely cheap somehow. Not cheap enough to stop doing it, mind you, just mildly uncomfortable.

I also came face-to-face with a reality that's been percolating in the back of my head for awhile but which came into sharp focus when a guildmate mentioned that he had nineteen cicada cages out and working. There is no way in hell that i would ever spend the time necessary to accomplish this. So, the reality is that Egypt really is not for the casual player. I like to do different things but this means by definition that i will never excel in any of them, because there is someone in the game who is specializing in whatever it is.

What i'm finding is that this leaves me completely unmotivated to participate in the large-scale aspects of the game. As a "good citizen" of Egypt i should spend time judging statues, solving puzzles, and watching events, but the way i figure it the seven (or 12 or 21) people who really care should just get together and pass each other and let the rest of us get on with whatever insignificant piddly tasks amuse us. The material costs for the test buildings are enormous, and the costs for the building to make the materials for the test buildings are pretty large as well. It takes me a long time to put that much effort together. I understand that that's the way the game is designed and that i'm here by choice. Fine. But what i'm finding is that i can amuse myself without paying any attention to what passes for the plot of this Telling.

That's not to say i'm anti-social. If a guildmate asked for help collecting resources or putting things together i'd be there. But doing something For The Good of Egypt? Meh. I'm also not belittling in any way the efforts of the people who chose to put in the time. They're working hard, and they're reaping the rewards. That seems fair enough to me. In many cases (the Veggie Pyramids come to mind) i reap some benefits as well. Do i feel a little guilty? Perhaps. But that's part of the game, too. And i'm showing my approval in the only way that Teppy cares about: i'm paying my subscription fee. So the only two people who really matter are satisfied.
==='''Akhet I-11'''===
My gyration cell is done! I spent an hour and a half finishing up the tin sheets and glass tubes. I threw in 1500 copper ore i'd extracted from my copper mine and then went to one of the Mixed Nuts iron mines. The wiki page said it was level 4 and fixed but it was actually level 8 and fixed. Unfortunately it collapsed after 4 pulls and i felt compelled to fix it, so i did. I then pulled almost 1600 ore out and threw that in the gyration cell. Sweet. :-)
==='''Akhet I-30'''===
I've found a bunch of critters and now have as much strength as i have dexterity (3). Running around in the desert isn't very interesting so i look for bodies of water and do some herb gathering. I've found two more bugs in the process. I really should get a rabbit from someone and pitch it and make a fennec cage to claim the level but just haven't gotten around to it.

I'm coming to the head of the Metallic Obelisk queue in QR. The person two people ahead of me hasn't been logged on in over a week so the person immediately ahead of me has built. When she passes, and if the person ahead of me still hasn't been seen i'll put up my obelisk. If she shows up and is ready to build she'll go next. In either case i should pass my first actual test some time in the next two weeks.

I made a scent lab and started playing with it, only to find out that it will take a lot of research to get anything useful out of it. I managed to drive my first batch of incense to quality zero. My second batch had a high value of over 160 but i dragged it down with further experimenting. It looks like there are 42 different initial tendencies for the incense, one positive and one negative. Each one corresponds to one of the stat skills. Then there is a scent; i've had pine and something else (i've misplaced my notebook). There is some research elsewhere in the wiki but since the effects are both ephemeral and minor it isn't very worthwhile to pursue. I'll do it anyway but it will be slow.

==My Petition==
Petition by Aku

Aku for Queen's Retreat Regional Garbage Collector

Oh, People of Queen's Retreat, hear the plea of Aku, a humble handmaiden of the region. Our public areas become blighted with abandoned flimsy brick racks, wood planes, and small distaffs. The people become discontent yet all efforts to legislate a solution fall short in some way, and the blight remains.

I petition to be granted the awesome power to salvage any of the three above items in Queen's Retreat which are not within a compound. I realize that this is a great power, and i understand the reluctance anyone might feel in granting it, unchecked, to a single individual. I pledge to use discretion and judgement, and that i am a thoughtful and civic-minded person with no intention of causing harm or unhappiness.

I believe this would do good for the region, clearing places for newcomers to experience Egypt in its beauty. I also believe that nothing short of this will alleviate the problem.

And since this isn't outrageous enough, i request that only the votes of citizens whose primary guild is in Queen's Retreat be counted.

Submitted for your consideration by Aku.

==Current Projects==
Having the attention span of a mayfly has its disadvantages, but a short "to do" list is not one of them.

===Blacksmithing===
I am currently questing after the 8K shovel and hatchet. I can pretty reliably make a 7.5K one of each (and if anyone wants one send me a tell in-game and we can haggle about price) but once i get there the screwing around i do just makes it worse. Of course i've only been practicing for a day so i am quite hopeful.

Then, of course, i'll start questing for 9K...

Resin wedges, on the other hand, are weird, or at least different enough from the other two that my threashholds seem to be 1K lower.

===Mentoring===
I've been back to Welcome Island several times. I've even helped some people. :-) One or two pledged me a Mentor point but so far no one has actually registered any. Oh, well. It's disappointing but that isn't really why i like Mentoring.

===General Metalworking===
I'm slowly building up the stock to build a blast furnace and reactory of my own. To that end i've been trading with The Goods, a fine institution that i can't recommend highly enough. (Though the new "donation phase" thing is a bit off-putting; i don't see anyone who's not a member of The Goods donating a large gear for free, but perhaps i'm being uncharitable.) I've gotten the concrete and topaz, and will be trading for some tin to try to make steel in the Guild reactory so that i can make the sheeting.

I've become familiar with the reactory and have gotten 100% on steel, brass, bronze, and Moon Steel. It takes me about 6 tries to get a useable amount of metal.

===Skills I am sorta working on===
*Salvage Techniques 4 - my water mine is slowly generating cuttables.

===Social Things===
I'm trying to pay attention to things like digs, acro, and other activties that can only be done with crowds. I'm not entirely succeeding...

==Water Mine Data==
22 degrees, one full winding, 3 Amethysts, 2 Citrine, 1 Jade, 1 Sunstone, 1 Turquoise, 1 Small Quartz, 1 Medium Quartz, 1 Medium Ruby

Since then i've had better luck at 20 or 21 degrees.

==My Semi-Blog==
I'll put my observations here when i am moved to record them, which won't be regularly.

==='''Year 1, Shemu II-24'''===
I've made a lot of progress on my gyration cell. The Moon Steel turned out to be less troublesome than i had planned for, and in fact i've got all 50 smelted. I should be able to get the cement i'll need from The Goods if i can't find it locally. The gravel will be a nuisance as i've run out of Medium Stones. Mostly what's left is mining a huge pile of copper and tin to make the sheeting and then making the sheeting. I may have to put pinch rollers in my second Student Forge to speed up the process.
==='''Year 1 Shemu II-28'''===
I got my second Navigation point for 20 glass rods. I'll set it at the mining compound which i will build next to the guild one. Then i can start mining copper in earnest. I've found an existing gyration cell that i can borrow which will speed things up immensely.
==='''Year 1 Shemu III-10'''===
I finished mining and smelting the copper i neeed for the sheets. Now i just have to forge them. I may have to invest in two more pinch rollers to upgrade another student forge for sheets but that means more mining.

I spent a couple of hours on Welcome Island. Hardly anyone responded to my offer of help though i did have a lively exchange with one fellow who should do fine and a rather odd exchange with another, the second person being unable to understand that i was an experienced player who was chosing to help out newcomers. ("Why r u here?") Overall it was satisfying, but i'm not pushy enough to translate any of it into Mentor points. There is a fuzzy line between helping out a newcomer and being bossy. I err firmly on the offer-only-when-asked side. I'm also "only" on for an hour or two a day at most, so i'm not an ideal candidate for a Mentor. So it goes.

Level 12 continues to elude me. I'll have to investigate Towers again, and start putting myself forward for the Worship init. Acrobatics is progressing slowly but surely and will continue that way since i don't have the fortitude to hang around for one of the massive Acro lines. I like the "acro blobs" better, and they happen periodically around the QR chariot stop, which i can see from my compound.
==='''Year 1 Shemu III-14'''===
I had a run-in with server lag. I was tending my firepit when everything froze for several seconds. When it unlocked i poked the fire but it was too late and the fire went out. It had been burning less than five minutes so in spite of having a full load of papyrus, flax, and leeks i got 12 ash. I was moderately bummed out.

To console myself i set up for a second firepit run, growing 300 flax with some 2/2/2 seeds (which have already been surpassed) and making a papyrus run. During the run i bumped into my friend SamAdams, who helped gather my papyrus, so i stayed around and helped him gather his. He then let me into a small guild he's in which was great because they have a bunch of the cool buildings (including the gyration cell i've been borrowing). I immediately made 600 charcoal in their charcoal oven, in spite of the continued lag. (I did have to abandon my efforts to run the charcoal hearth at the same time.)

This failure to advance in levels is getting to be a problem. I was reviewing my progress on my personal gyration cell and realized that i can't even build it myself until i hit Level 13 because i need Metallurgy III. I think i'm going to have to stifle my urge to own the high-tech production buildings and spend some time leveling. With that in mind i put my name on the Metallic Obelisk queue at size 22. I've got two weeks to come up with the materials. The only one that looks hard is the mirror (assuming size 22 still needs only one; i haven't checked the exact requirements yet). The rest i can either make myself or purchase at The Goods without too much trouble. I wonder if i can get my Sheet Glass skill to 7 in two weeks?
==='''Year 1 Shemu III-16'''===
Yesterday was a good day.

I made excellent progress in collecting materials for my hypothetical Metallic Obelisk. I loaded up my Normal Glass furnace with a full 50 units of melted glass and started making glass sheets. It certainly started out grimly. I cracked the first seven sheets i attempted, though in the process i rose to skill 4. Then i succeeded once, and cracked another. By the time i had made 30 attempts i had 18 sheets of glass, having cracked 11 and lost one to over-fueling my bench. I was quite pleased. I hadn't known how many sheets i would have to crack for each skill level, but i hadn't expected to get to skill 6 in one session. I imagine that last level will be quite tedious to achieve, but it looks like it's doable in my time frame.

On the subject of the glazier's bench i have discovered, or reasoned out, a small refinement to the published technique. I have noticed that the later in the ten-tick heating cycle one adds additional fuel the smaller the spike. By watching the item timer tick down (especially easy with sheet glass) i am able to add 2 charcoal during the tenth tick, just before the temperature drops. This results in a spike of about 150 degrees in addition to the normal heat increase. This means that i can run the bench constantly without periodically stopping production to spike and cool it. (My bench is +56, -135.)

I traded the glass sheets with The Goods for strontium, platinum, and iron and still had a good deal of credit left over. If worse comes to worst i should be able to buy one of the mirrors.

I checked the material requirements for a 22-cubit Metallic Obelisk and it does in fact need 2 mirrors which is unfortunate but not unexpected. The materials i don't have are easy for me to produce myself so assuming i can take care of the mirrors and that no queue war erupts i'm in good shape for the Obelisk Test.
==='''Year 1 Shemu III-21'''===
Yay! One of my Prophecies came true. I am now Level 12. I signed up for Safari.

In other news i did another run of 30 attempted glass sheets. I cracked 4, fried one, and ended up with 25. Sadly my skill is still 6/7, but hopefully i'm that much closer to mirrors. I ran the firepit and poked it for a half-hour, only to discover that i had forgotten to put in the limestone. So i got 70 ash, which was nice, but no lime at all which is unfortunate because i actually have plenty of ash and needed the lime. Sigh.
==='''Year 1 Shemu III-22'''===
You can't do anything without doing something else first.

I planned to do some frog/rat/otter hunting today but first had promised to make some carpentry blades for the Queen of Denial guild. I loaded up the anvil and proceeded, using the excellent guides that have been published elsewhere (see the [[Blacksmithing_Guide |Blacksmithing Guide]] and check the references at the bottom of that page.) The "eight hits across the front" with the force 8 Shaping Mallet take some practice, as there are more than 8 nodes across the front edge, but it turns out to only matter a little. I've also added a refinement where i use the Shaping Mallet at force 5 to depress the area behind the edge around the V-shaped notch in the back before starting in on the directions in the guide. The results after following the guide are worse than just doing the guide, but i've been able to clean it up to 7.5K with about fifty more hits, where i could never clean up the guide blade to more than about 7.2K. I ended up with five in the 7.2K range and one 7.5K blade (the last one.)

Running back from QoD to my compound i found a flock of sheep, and being perennially short of leather i grabbed one. I then went in search of a public sheep pen and failed to find one. So i built one to the west of the School of Architecture near the road. I had to dry some rotten flax, and since i was carrying a sheep i couldn't carry more than 200 bricks so i had to make 7 trips back and forth to my compound but it was close enough that it was only annoying. Then i made the pen public, slaughtered my sheep and stored the products.

Time to head out. But on my way to the chariot stop someone announced that they needed witnesses for their wedding. I'm a sucker for that kind of thing besides considering it an obligation of sorts since my compound is in sight of the altar (that is, when people gather at that altar for a wedding i can see the names when i'm standing in my compound.) On the way to the wedding i noticed an intriguing Pathfinder which i poked at while waiting for the crowd to assemble. Someone brought a hookah to the wedding and i got my first point (rhubarb). Then we had the wedding, which took four tries.

Then i got booted from the computer so that my kid could do homework. Ah well, there's always later.
==='''Shemu III-27'''===
I've been in the desert for a couple of days now hunting various critters. I'm going to be a little vague in the descriptions since i don't want to give away any locations. Anyway, i've not seen any rats or otters but did come across an interesting situation with regard to cicadas. I found a spot that had multiple cages and after picking bugs from all of them i decided to try to break the cluster up a little. My first attempt moved all the cages instead of just one and to my surprise there were now more cages visible. It appears that it is possible for cages to be exactly on top of each other, something i hadn't known.

Yikes! Someone dropped out of the Metallic Obelisk queue, so i have four days less than i had planned to come up with two mirrors. I think i'm going to have to cut my rat-hunting expedition short.

==='''Shemu IV-2'''===
I'm still hunting in the desert. I haven't found any rats or otters but did locate a couple of frogs. They seem pretty straightforward and should be my ticket to a strength point.
==='''Shemu IV-7'''===
I'm back from my desert roaming. I found a lot of bugs so that part went well. On the other hand i didn't see any rats or otters. I refurbished a couple of my remote outposts but wasn't able to do anything with the one in the NE corner of the map due to an unremembered complete lack of grass in the area. I'll have to bring some supplies the next time i head that way.

My Sheet Glass skill is now at 7, which happened on the third sheet of my glass run. I had burned and boiled enough supplies to stock the glazier's bench up to 50 glass, so hitting my goal on the third try was somewhat anti-climactic. Still, i can't really complain (or can i? :-).

I let everything cool and pulled the two intact sheets, then headed for The Goods. I got some leather to contribute toward a guild Barrel Grinder, either for construction or operation, and a batch of cement and some Medium Stones to make into concrete. Silver Powder is still hideously expensive (at least to buy 200 debens) and someone has slurped up the last mirror so i don't have the option of paying a lot of Goodscript for one. Hopefully the Barrel Grinder will be completed soon. I still have two weeks before my turn in the Obelisk queue comes up.

I made a sledgehammer and attacked one of the Medium Stones. It's just as annoying as i remember it being. I did my experiment between two hills to see if gravity played any role in the process but it doesn't seem to, that is, the ejecta scooted indifferently up and down slopes for the same distance. This is one of those activities which is possible to solo but which goes much quicker with help. I like activities with that quality since i'm not able to play regularly for hours at a time, so group activities are hard to schedule.
==='''Shemu IV-14'''===
Busy, busy, busy.

I haven't found any more frogs, but did find an otter and an ibis, so i got my first strength point. Whee! I celebrated by loading up with silt on my way back to camp from the ibis. This will make a lot of things easier. I'm going to enjoy it, i'm sure.

While out exploring i found a Mixed Nuts mining compound that had degenerated to 0%. I spent the time to repair it but couldn't do anything for the equipment inside; Compression Furnaces seem to be resistant to my Structure Repair 2 skill, and i just built a new Hackling Rake rather than try to repair the one in the compound.

When i got back i pitched in for at Mixed Nuts project to build a Barrel Grinder. The only thing that's left is the 120 bearings, so i'm making half the bronze. So far i've got 99 done, including 2 perfect runs. On the other hand i ran out of Fern Palm resin and had to dash out and get more, but fortunately it's pretty common. I hope to finish the last of the bronze tonight, and then i'll fire up the Master Casting Box and make some bearings.
==='''Shemu IV-16'''===
I finished up my share of the bronze for bearings, using up the last of my copper to do so. I fired up the MCB and started cranking out batches of 10 bearings. While i was doing that other-person-in-the-guild-whose-name-i-am-totally-blanking-on finished up the rest of the bronze (and then some; he was on a roll) and took over the MCB. The barrel grinder is now finished. Now i just need to <del>bully</del> sweet talk a grinding party into existence.

I made a tech run to Saqquarah. I feel somewhat guilty doing so, but it's part of how the game works. I picked up papermaking and gem cutting, so now i have an opportunity to blow more of my resources building things that will be time sinks. Heh. Welcome to Egypt. I also got my pyramid construction skill up to 7, so should a general madness overtake Egypt it would be possible for me to become an Oracle. It's nice to set goals that are beyond one's reach.

As long as i was in the neighborhood i picked up 95 white sand (yay STR 1!). While carting it around (perhaps that was why i never caught the gazelle, see below) it occurred to me that the only sensible place to make Fine Glass products is within short walking distance of a white sand patch, at least until one gets at least STR 3 and could conceivably carry (with peppers) 3000 debens, or enough for one run of the glazier's oven.

I saw a gazelle today. They are cute but annoying. I put a call out on E! but there were no takers, so i chased it around a bit and then went home.

I've changed the format of my semi-blog, as it was getting to be too much of a nuisance to scroll down through the whole thing. I'm lazy. So sue me. :-)

==='''Shemu IV-19'''===
Finally got Cooking 1. I borrowed some carrot seeds from Queen of Denial and grew the veggies. It was nice that, with STR 1 and DEX 3 I could just waltz them over to the school instead of dumping my usual tools first. Stat boosts are fun!
==='''Akhet I-7'''===
It's been awhile. I've got 2 strength points now, which is very nice. I built my first tower and got 4% of Egypt. I've also gotten a macro to work for the first time in 4 Tellings and while it was very convenient and did a much better job than i could (it is a mining macro) i still felt vaguely cheap somehow. Not cheap enough to stop doing it, mind you, just mildly uncomfortable.

I also came face-to-face with a reality that's been percolating in the back of my head for awhile but which came into sharp focus when a guildmate mentioned that he had nineteen cicada cages out and working. There is no way in hell that i would ever spend the time necessary to accomplish this. So, the reality is that Egypt really is not for the casual player. I like to do different things but this means by definition that i will never excel in any of them, because there is someone in the game who is specializing in whatever it is.

What i'm finding is that this leaves me completely unmotivated to participate in the large-scale aspects of the game. As a "good citizen" of Egypt i should spend time judging statues, solving puzzles, and watching events, but the way i figure it the seven (or 12 or 21) people who really care should just get together and pass each other and let the rest of us get on with whatever insignificant piddly tasks amuse us. The material costs for the test buildings are enormous, and the costs for the building to make the materials for the test buildings are pretty large as well. It takes me a long time to put that much effort together. I understand that that's the way the game is designed and that i'm here by choice. Fine. But what i'm finding is that i can amuse myself without paying any attention to what passes for the plot of this Telling.

That's not to say i'm anti-social. If a guildmate asked for help collecting resources or putting things together i'd be there. But doing something For The Good of Egypt? Meh. I'm also not belittling in any way the efforts of the people who chose to put in the time. They're working hard, and they're reaping the rewards. That seems fair enough to me. In many cases (the Veggie Pyramids come to mind) i reap some benefits as well. Do i feel a little guilty? Perhaps. But that's part of the game, too. And i'm showing my approval in the only way that Teppy cares about: i'm paying my subscription fee. So the only two people who really matter are satisfied.
==='''Akhet I-11'''===
My gyration cell is done! I spent an hour and a half finishing up the tin sheets and glass tubes. I threw in 1500 copper ore i'd extracted from my copper mine and then went to one of the Mixed Nuts iron mines. The wiki page said it was level 4 and fixed but it was actually level 8 and fixed. Unfortunately it collapsed after 4 pulls and i felt compelled to fix it, so i did. I then pulled almost 1600 ore out and threw that in the gyration cell. Sweet. :-)
==='''Akhet I-30'''===
I've found a bunch of critters and now have as much strength as i have dexterity (3). Running around in the desert isn't very interesting so i look for bodies of water and do some herb gathering. I've found two more bugs in the process. I really should get a rabbit from someone and pitch it and make a fennec cage to claim the level but just haven't gotten around to it.

I'm coming to the head of the Metallic Obelisk queue in QR. The person two people ahead of me hasn't been logged on in over a week so the person immediately ahead of me has built. When she passes, and if the person ahead of me still hasn't been seen i'll put up my obelisk. If she shows up and is ready to build she'll go next. In either case i should pass my first actual test some time in the next two weeks.

I made a scent lab and started playing with it, only to find out that it will take a lot of research to get anything useful out of it. I managed to drive my first batch of incense to quality zero. My second batch had a high value of over 160 but i dragged it down with further experimenting. It looks like there are 42 different initial tendencies for the incense, one positive and one negative. Each one corresponds to one of the stat skills. Then there is a scent; i've had pine and something else (i've misplaced my notebook). There is some research elsewhere in the wiki but since the effects are both ephemeral and minor it isn't very worthwhile to pursue. I'll do it anyway but it will be slow.

==Current Projects==
Having the attention span of a mayfly has its disadvantages, but a short "to do" list is not one of them.

===Blacksmithing===
I am currently questing after the 8K shovel and hatchet. I can pretty reliably make a 7.5K one of each (and if anyone wants one send me a tell in-game and we can haggle about price) but once i get there the screwing around i do just makes it worse. Of course i've only been practicing for a day so i am quite hopeful.

Then, of course, i'll start questing for 9K...

Resin wedges, on the other hand, are weird, or at least different enough from the other two that my threashholds seem to be 1K lower.

===Mentoring===
I've been back to Welcome Island several times. I've even helped some people. :-) One or two pledged me a Mentor point but so far no one has actually registered any. Oh, well. It's disappointing but that isn't really why i like Mentoring.

===General Metalworking===
I'm slowly building up the stock to build a blast furnace and reactory of my own. To that end i've been trading with The Goods, a fine institution that i can't recommend highly enough. (Though the new "donation phase" thing is a bit off-putting; i don't see anyone who's not a member of The Goods donating a large gear for free, but perhaps i'm being uncharitable.) I've gotten the concrete and topaz, and will be trading for some tin to try to make steel in the Guild reactory so that i can make the sheeting.

I've become familiar with the reactory and have gotten 100% on steel, brass, bronze, and Moon Steel. It takes me about 6 tries to get a useable amount of metal.

===Skills I am sorta working on===
*Salvage Techniques 4 - my water mine is slowly generating cuttables.

===Social Things===
I'm trying to pay attention to things like digs, acro, and other activties that can only be done with crowds. I'm not entirely succeeding...

==Water Mine Data==
22 degrees, one full winding, 3 Amethysts, 2 Citrine, 1 Jade, 1 Sunstone, 1 Turquoise, 1 Small Quartz, 1 Medium Quartz, 1 Medium Ruby

Since then i've had better luck at 20 or 21 degrees.

==My Semi-Blog==
I'll put my observations here when i am moved to record them, which won't be regularly.

==='''Year 1, Shemu II-24'''===
I've made a lot of progress on my gyration cell. The Moon Steel turned out to be less troublesome than i had planned for, and in fact i've got all 50 smelted. I should be able to get the cement i'll need from The Goods if i can't find it locally. The gravel will be a nuisance as i've run out of Medium Stones. Mostly what's left is mining a huge pile of copper and tin to make the sheeting and then making the sheeting. I may have to put pinch rollers in my second Student Forge to speed up the process.
==='''Year 1 Shemu II-28'''===
I got my second Navigation point for 20 glass rods. I'll set it at the mining compound which i will build next to the guild one. Then i can start mining copper in earnest. I've found an existing gyration cell that i can borrow which will speed things up immensely.
==='''Year 1 Shemu III-10'''===
I finished mining and smelting the copper i neeed for the sheets. Now i just have to forge them. I may have to invest in two more pinch rollers to upgrade another student forge for sheets but that means more mining.

I spent a couple of hours on Welcome Island. Hardly anyone responded to my offer of help though i did have a lively exchange with one fellow who should do fine and a rather odd exchange with another, the second person being unable to understand that i was an experienced player who was chosing to help out newcomers. ("Why r u here?") Overall it was satisfying, but i'm not pushy enough to translate any of it into Mentor points. There is a fuzzy line between helping out a newcomer and being bossy. I err firmly on the offer-only-when-asked side. I'm also "only" on for an hour or two a day at most, so i'm not an ideal candidate for a Mentor. So it goes.

Level 12 continues to elude me. I'll have to investigate Towers again, and start putting myself forward for the Worship init. Acrobatics is progressing slowly but surely and will continue that way since i don't have the fortitude to hang around for one of the massive Acro lines. I like the "acro blobs" better, and they happen periodically around the QR chariot stop, which i can see from my compound.
==='''Year 1 Shemu III-14'''===
I had a run-in with server lag. I was tending my firepit when everything froze for several seconds. When it unlocked i poked the fire but it was too late and the fire went out. It had been burning less than five minutes so in spite of having a full load of papyrus, flax, and leeks i got 12 ash. I was moderately bummed out.

To console myself i set up for a second firepit run, growing 300 flax with some 2/2/2 seeds (which have already been surpassed) and making a papyrus run. During the run i bumped into my friend SamAdams, who helped gather my papyrus, so i stayed around and helped him gather his. He then let me into a small guild he's in which was great because they have a bunch of the cool buildings (including the gyration cell i've been borrowing). I immediately made 600 charcoal in their charcoal oven, in spite of the continued lag. (I did have to abandon my efforts to run the charcoal hearth at the same time.)

This failure to advance in levels is getting to be a problem. I was reviewing my progress on my personal gyration cell and realized that i can't even build it myself until i hit Level 13 because i need Metallurgy III. I think i'm going to have to stifle my urge to own the high-tech production buildings and spend some time leveling. With that in mind i put my name on the Metallic Obelisk queue at size 22. I've got two weeks to come up with the materials. The only one that looks hard is the mirror (assuming size 22 still needs only one; i haven't checked the exact requirements yet). The rest i can either make myself or purchase at The Goods without too much trouble. I wonder if i can get my Sheet Glass skill to 7 in two weeks?
==='''Year 1 Shemu III-16'''===
Yesterday was a good day.

I made excellent progress in collecting materials for my hypothetical Metallic Obelisk. I loaded up my Normal Glass furnace with a full 50 units of melted glass and started making glass sheets. It certainly started out grimly. I cracked the first seven sheets i attempted, though in the process i rose to skill 4. Then i succeeded once, and cracked another. By the time i had made 30 attempts i had 18 sheets of glass, having cracked 11 and lost one to over-fueling my bench. I was quite pleased. I hadn't known how many sheets i would have to crack for each skill level, but i hadn't expected to get to skill 6 in one session. I imagine that last level will be quite tedious to achieve, but it looks like it's doable in my time frame.

On the subject of the glazier's bench i have discovered, or reasoned out, a small refinement to the published technique. I have noticed that the later in the ten-tick heating cycle one adds additional fuel the smaller the spike. By watching the item timer tick down (especially easy with sheet glass) i am able to add 2 charcoal during the tenth tick, just before the temperature drops. This results in a spike of about 150 degrees in addition to the normal heat increase. This means that i can run the bench constantly without periodically stopping production to spike and cool it. (My bench is +56, -135.)

I traded the glass sheets with The Goods for strontium, platinum, and iron and still had a good deal of credit left over. If worse comes to worst i should be able to buy one of the mirrors.

I checked the material requirements for a 22-cubit Metallic Obelisk and it does in fact need 2 mirrors which is unfortunate but not unexpected. The materials i don't have are easy for me to produce myself so assuming i can take care of the mirrors and that no queue war erupts i'm in good shape for the Obelisk Test.
==='''Year 1 Shemu III-21'''===
Yay! One of my Prophecies came true. I am now Level 12. I signed up for Safari.

In other news i did another run of 30 attempted glass sheets. I cracked 4, fried one, and ended up with 25. Sadly my skill is still 6/7, but hopefully i'm that much closer to mirrors. I ran the firepit and poked it for a half-hour, only to discover that i had forgotten to put in the limestone. So i got 70 ash, which was nice, but no lime at all which is unfortunate because i actually have plenty of ash and needed the lime. Sigh.
==='''Year 1 Shemu III-22'''===
You can't do anything without doing something else first.

I planned to do some frog/rat/otter hunting today but first had promised to make some carpentry blades for the Queen of Denial guild. I loaded up the anvil and proceeded, using the excellent guides that have been published elsewhere (see the [[Blacksmithing_Guide |Blacksmithing Guide]] and check the references at the bottom of that page.) The "eight hits across the front" with the force 8 Shaping Mallet take some practice, as there are more than 8 nodes across the front edge, but it turns out to only matter a little. I've also added a refinement where i use the Shaping Mallet at force 5 to depress the area behind the edge around the V-shaped notch in the back before starting in on the directions in the guide. The results after following the guide are worse than just doing the guide, but i've been able to clean it up to 7.5K with about fifty more hits, where i could never clean up the guide blade to more than about 7.2K. I ended up with five in the 7.2K range and one 7.5K blade (the last one.)

Running back from QoD to my compound i found a flock of sheep, and being perennially short of leather i grabbed one. I then went in search of a public sheep pen and failed to find one. So i built one to the west of the School of Architecture near the road. I had to dry some rotten flax, and since i was carrying a sheep i couldn't carry more than 200 bricks so i had to make 7 trips back and forth to my compound but it was close enough that it was only annoying. Then i made the pen public, slaughtered my sheep and stored the products.

Time to head out. But on my way to the chariot stop someone announced that they needed witnesses for their wedding. I'm a sucker for that kind of thing besides considering it an obligation of sorts since my compound is in sight of the altar (that is, when people gather at that altar for a wedding i can see the names when i'm standing in my compound.) On the way to the wedding i noticed an intriguing Pathfinder which i poked at while waiting for the crowd to assemble. Someone brought a hookah to the wedding and i got my first point (rhubarb). Then we had the wedding, which took four tries.

Then i got booted from the computer so that my kid could do homework. Ah well, there's always later.
==='''Shemu III-27'''===
I've been in the desert for a couple of days now hunting various critters. I'm going to be a little vague in the descriptions since i don't want to give away any locations. Anyway, i've not seen any rats or otters but did come across an interesting situation with regard to cicadas. I found a spot that had multiple cages and after picking bugs from all of them i decided to try to break the cluster up a little. My first attempt moved all the cages instead of just one and to my surprise there were now more cages visible. It appears that it is possible for cages to be exactly on top of each other, something i hadn't known.

Yikes! Someone dropped out of the Metallic Obelisk queue, so i have four days less than i had planned to come up with two mirrors. I think i'm going to have to cut my rat-hunting expedition short.

==='''Shemu IV-2'''===
I'm still hunting in the desert. I haven't found any rats or otters but did locate a couple of frogs. They seem pretty straightforward and should be my ticket to a strength point.
==='''Shemu IV-7'''===
I'm back from my desert roaming. I found a lot of bugs so that part went well. On the other hand i didn't see any rats or otters. I refurbished a couple of my remote outposts but wasn't able to do anything with the one in the NE corner of the map due to an unremembered complete lack of grass in the area. I'll have to bring some supplies the next time i head that way.

My Sheet Glass skill is now at 7, which happened on the third sheet of my glass run. I had burned and boiled enough supplies to stock the glazier's bench up to 50 glass, so hitting my goal on the third try was somewhat anti-climactic. Still, i can't really complain (or can i? :-).

I let everything cool and pulled the two intact sheets, then headed for The Goods. I got some leather to contribute toward a guild Barrel Grinder, either for construction or operation, and a batch of cement and some Medium Stones to make into concrete. Silver Powder is still hideously expensive (at least to buy 200 debens) and someone has slurped up the last mirror so i don't have the option of paying a lot of Goodscript for one. Hopefully the Barrel Grinder will be completed soon. I still have two weeks before my turn in the Obelisk queue comes up.

I made a sledgehammer and attacked one of the Medium Stones. It's just as annoying as i remember it being. I did my experiment between two hills to see if gravity played any role in the process but it doesn't seem to, that is, the ejecta scooted indifferently up and down slopes for the same distance. This is one of those activities which is possible to solo but which goes much quicker with help. I like activities with that quality since i'm not able to play regularly for hours at a time, so group activities are hard to schedule.
==='''Shemu IV-14'''===
Busy, busy, busy.

I haven't found any more frogs, but did find an otter and an ibis, so i got my first strength point. Whee! I celebrated by loading up with silt on my way back to camp from the ibis. This will make a lot of things easier. I'm going to enjoy it, i'm sure.

While out exploring i found a Mixed Nuts mining compound that had degenerated to 0%. I spent the time to repair it but couldn't do anything for the equipment inside; Compression Furnaces seem to be resistant to my Structure Repair 2 skill, and i just built a new Hackling Rake rather than try to repair the one in the compound.

When i got back i pitched in for at Mixed Nuts project to build a Barrel Grinder. The only thing that's left is the 120 bearings, so i'm making half the bronze. So far i've got 99 done, including 2 perfect runs. On the other hand i ran out of Fern Palm resin and had to dash out and get more, but fortunately it's pretty common. I hope to finish the last of the bronze tonight, and then i'll fire up the Master Casting Box and make some bearings.
==='''Shemu IV-16'''===
I finished up my share of the bronze for bearings, using up the last of my copper to do so. I fired up the MCB and started cranking out batches of 10 bearings. While i was doing that other-person-in-the-guild-whose-name-i-am-totally-blanking-on finished up the rest of the bronze (and then some; he was on a roll) and took over the MCB. The barrel grinder is now finished. Now i just need to <del>bully</del> sweet talk a grinding party into existence.

I made a tech run to Saqquarah. I feel somewhat guilty doing so, but it's part of how the game works. I picked up papermaking and gem cutting, so now i have an opportunity to blow more of my resources building things that will be time sinks. Heh. Welcome to Egypt. I also got my pyramid construction skill up to 7, so should a general madness overtake Egypt it would be possible for me to become an Oracle. It's nice to set goals that are beyond one's reach.

As long as i was in the neighborhood i picked up 95 white sand (yay STR 1!). While carting it around (perhaps that was why i never caught the gazelle, see below) it occurred to me that the only sensible place to make Fine Glass products is within short walking distance of a white sand patch, at least until one gets at least STR 3 and could conceivably carry (with peppers) 3000 debens, or enough for one run of the glazier's oven.

I saw a gazelle today. They are cute but annoying. I put a call out on E! but there were no takers, so i chased it around a bit and then went home.

I've changed the format of my semi-blog, as it was getting to be too much of a nuisance to scroll down through the whole thing. I'm lazy. So sue me. :-)

==='''Shemu IV-19'''===
Finally got Cooking 1. I borrowed some carrot seeds from Queen of Denial and grew the veggies. It was nice that, with STR 1 and DEX 3 I could just waltz them over to the school instead of dumping my usual tools first. Stat boosts are fun!
==='''Akhet I-7'''===
It's been awhile. I've got 2 strength points now, which is very nice. I built my first tower and got 4% of Egypt. I've also gotten a macro to work for the first time in 4 Tellings and while it was very convenient and did a much better job than i could (it is a mining macro) i still felt vaguely cheap somehow. Not cheap enough to stop doing it, mind you, just mildly uncomfortable.

I also came face-to-face with a reality that's been percolating in the back of my head for awhile but which came into sharp focus when a guildmate mentioned that he had nineteen cicada cages out and working. There is no way in hell that i would ever spend the time necessary to accomplish this. So, the reality is that Egypt really is not for the casual player. I like to do different things but this means by definition that i will never excel in any of them, because there is someone in the game who is specializing in whatever it is.

What i'm finding is that this leaves me completely unmotivated to participate in the large-scale aspects of the game. As a "good citizen" of Egypt i should spend time judging statues, solving puzzles, and watching events, but the way i figure it the seven (or 12 or 21) people who really care should just get together and pass each other and let the rest of us get on with whatever insignificant piddly tasks amuse us. The material costs for the test buildings are enormous, and the costs for the building to make the materials for the test buildings are pretty large as well. It takes me a long time to put that much effort together. I understand that that's the way the game is designed and that i'm here by choice. Fine. But what i'm finding is that i can amuse myself without paying any attention to what passes for the plot of this Telling.

That's not to say i'm anti-social. If a guildmate asked for help collecting resources or putting things together i'd be there. But doing something For The Good of Egypt? Meh. I'm also not belittling in any way the efforts of the people who chose to put in the time. They're working hard, and they're reaping the rewards. That seems fair enough to me. In many cases (the Veggie Pyramids come to mind) i reap some benefits as well. Do i feel a little guilty? Perhaps. But that's part of the game, too. And i'm showing my approval in the only way that Teppy cares about: i'm paying my subscription fee. So the only two people who really matter are satisfied.
==='''Akhet I-11'''===
My gyration cell is done! I spent an hour and a half finishing up the tin sheets and glass tubes. I threw in 1500 copper ore i'd extracted from my copper mine and then went to one of the Mixed Nuts iron mines. The wiki page said it was level 4 and fixed but it was actually level 8 and fixed. Unfortunately it collapsed after 4 pulls and i felt compelled to fix it, so i did. I then pulled almost 1600 ore out and threw that in the gyration cell. Sweet. :-)

==My Petition==
Petition by Aku

Aku for Queen's Retreat Regional Garbage Collector

Oh, People of Queen's Retreat, hear the plea of Aku, a humble handmaiden of the region. Our public areas become blighted with abandoned flimsy brick racks, wood planes, and small distaffs. The people become discontent yet all efforts to legislate a solution fall short in some way, and the blight remains.

I petition to be granted the awesome power to salvage any of the three above items in Queen's Retreat which are not within a compound. I realize that this is a great power, and i understand the reluctance anyone might feel in granting it, unchecked, to a single individual. I pledge to use discretion and judgement, and that i am a thoughtful and civic-minded person with no intention of causing harm or unhappiness.

I believe this would do good for the region, clearing places for newcomers to experience Egypt in its beauty. I also believe that nothing short of this will alleviate the problem.

And since this isn't outrageous enough, i request that only the votes of citizens whose primary guild is in Queen's Retreat be counted.

Submitted for your consideration by Aku.

==Inclinations==
I don't have the time to spend grinding my way to the top, so i end up soloing a lot. I'm making an effort to be more social this time around. I like mentoring so if you want advice feel free to chat me and i'll see what i can do. If i don't answer right away i may be making glass or charcoal.

==History==
I played all of T1, sporadically in T2 and T3. I'm hoping to make it all the way through this one.
