 That’s when I lost internet connectivity at home.  With packet loss exceeding 50%, despite hours of trying I was unable to stay online more than 10 seconds at a go and only 1 in 5 messages I was able to send actually made it to the recipient.  AT&T said there’s no outages reported for my area, but they’ll be calling me back to work on resolving the issue.  Blech.

 Made a couple more papy runs and placed an order for another thousand tiles of assorted colors.  They will only give me 400 points—another testament to battling a logarithmic scoring system.  I cancelled the wheat, as they would only give me 9 points anyways.  Side note:  I have got to remember to burn Royal Blue tonight.
 Grew a couple hundred harvests of onions towards Life, starting me on my goal of 2k harvests by Sunday passes.
 Finally, I’m putting a use to the little newbie house I claimed months ago on the far end of the bee field.  I’ve built a cask and have started wining with the grapes I’ve been neglecting for nearly half a year.  We’ll see how they turn out.  The marble I got from Rabble will be used to make a tasting table.  Then I’ll just need bottles and wine glasses.

 In tech news, with the advent of advanced automation, sawmills are now constructable.  The turn wood into boards at a rate of about 1 a minute, holding up to 1k wood in the hopper and can be upgraded to a 3k hopper for an insane cost.  You can add more wood while it is running, but to remove boards it has to be stopped.  Every time the mill is restarted, it requires a new set of steel blades... which aren’t exactly ‘cheap’ to me.  I’m going to hold off on this one for a while.  Other goodies to look forward to in the not-too-distant future:  autolooms, autominers, and crawlers (they push pyramid blocks).

 With one less thing to worry about, I idled about hunting down a few mushrooms for my impossible 3rd page (of 5) for Darkest Night.  (Impossible due to the ultra-rare ‘beehive mushrooms’ on the list.)  I wandered down to Saqqarah and knocked out all of the Dead Tongue and Colt’s Foot shrooms, leaving me with three more flavors to go.

 Met up with Dianess, mala, and Robare and helped fill our newly upgraded aqueduct reserve tank to 900k water.  Apparently water is ‘used’ at a rate of 1 unit per tower per minute, so different  people pump a couple of times a week to keep it topped off.

 I’d prefer to end this update on an upbeat note.  While sitting beside Rabble’s desolate camp, I wound the water mine and watched it twist and turn while raeli tiles baked into deepening hues beside me.  Every now and then my vigilance was rewarded with a small gemstone and when I found a turquoise, I thought I’d try my luck on the gem table.  I succeeded in cutting the twice-damned Hile’s Chevrons turquoise and passed Principles of the Hexaglyph.  I am now level 34.

 I’ll give you the details of the Pirate test later this week, but the short version is groups of seven must divide ‘treasure’ without mutiny.  Based on the full description, it looks really cool.  We’ll see how Teppy screws it up.

 Arame built his mosaic in an effort to game it so we could get Pirates unlocked.  Instead of a solid color, he designed a Jolly Roger’s flag.  Brilliant.  This, of course, started up a massive debate on gaming the Test on E! with drama levels approaching obelisk queues of months long past.  People were insisting others to go vote it as a ‘fraud’ to wipe out monumental votes, others pointed out that deliberately voting ‘fraud’ when it wasn’t was just as much gaming the test as the other, when it was a legitimate mosaic.  In the end, I was blamed for suggesting the idea to begin with.  Ask me how much I care.  Arame passed Mosaic and will be able to unlock Pirates as soon as he logs in and walks over to the ULead.  I consider it to be a victory over Teppy.

 You will never ‘beat’ the Test by dividing up 111 to each crew member—to pass, pirates will have to screw each other over in the name of ...well, whatever rationalization you can put on it.  This should prove to be a Source of Infinite Drama and I look forward to it!  Things have been too orderly as of late.  (Balance must be maintained.)
