 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.

 *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.

 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".

	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.		Solving puzzles has caused me serious conflict.

		+	*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)

		+	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.

 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.
