 The most amusingly random thing was while I was lounging around the ‘Plex, tending to the forge was a pair of out-of-towners, possibly newer players.  They wandered around my house and finally came to a stop before my glazier’s bench, discussing at length a key they thought they had.  They were both amusing and confused.  I leaned casually against the shed and once I had determined they were talking about McArine’s venery, I gave them directions on where to go next.  They scurried off with nary a whisper of gratitude, but that’s ok.  It never hurts to help, except when it does.

 It was around this time that I came to the realization that I’m the highest level character in the game.  I’ve passed every Principle that’s been unlocked except Life, which no one has since no aqueducts are functional yet.  The university of Leadership’s census confirms there are no people who have passed four tests in the same discipline yet, so I’m the maximum current level:  32.  Rahr!

 In the meantime, Mandisa hopped on and with a few travel tips, made her way to Heaven’s Gate.  I updated the wiki and she spent a bit of time finding the perfect scenic spot for her obelisk.  A few minutes later, I’ve updated the wiki and she’s built a pointy spire.  Now she just needs to hold it for 7 real life days.  Here’s hoping!

 Finally, for no apparent reason they’ve changed the apiary graphic.  They now look less like beehives and more like “solar powered microwaves for cooking bees in the Egpytian sun”.  It literally looks like a revolving flat honeycomb under a glass dome.  Little bees buzz around it and it’s not unpleasant to look at—it is just nothing like one thinks of when you say “beehive.”

 Oh—the new “I want your pony” law goes into effect today.  Trial player’s stuff is claimable after 14 days logged out and paid players have 60 days after account expiration to reclaim their stuff.  After the 60 days elapse, if they have designated an ‘heir’, that person has up to 2 weeks to lay claim to everything before it becomes ‘free for all’.  The only thing that’s good about the bill is that all of the fragile chests go away and scavengers will have a field day as they discover little troves around Egypt from long abandoned campsites.

 Got an unexpected nifty this morning.  Checked in on the sheep before work and one of the developers, Zatarg, was looking for a volunteer who could test a new ‘thing’.  I waved my hand and in a moment, I was playing with an entirely new chat interface.  It rocked.  Everything from customizable colors to click-for-info to variable font sizes.  Embedded urls are now allowed and your name in a line changes to color of the text for that line.  Each aspect is flaggable and customizable.  It rocks. :)

 The most unexpected thing happened:  Rabble, my patron saint, has opted to donate up to 10k resins to our pilgrimage group—just because.  He likes collecting resin (who doesn’t?), but has a limited need for tiles and doesn’t want to sell to raeli guilds.  Tile cartels annoy him like they annoy me.  This’ll mean another oven for Alexis, lilac, and myself, with a sizable chunk leftover.  Yay!  Now I need to start getting ‘all the other stuff’ together again.

 Mandisa got there and there was no one but the gazelle--  not even the finder stuck around.  I looked at the gazelle.  The gazelle looked back.  I made a decision and charged it.  Gazelles are designed to be a group encounter, but I was near a river.  I’ve heard of two very determined people being able to tag with a river helping and I like a challenge.  The gazelle ran.  I pursued, swinging wide...it darted back and forth.  It bolted away from the river.  I chased it around an empty chariot stop.  We circled a small lake.  I pursued it up a sharp hill to a plateau and back down...nine times.  After getting it away from the terrain from hell, I chased it back to the Nile.  I relentlessly pursued the creature until after twenty minutes, it lowered its head.  I successfully solo’d a gazelle. Muahahaha!

 Lake SbtN is now a little wider (no more dashing across it!) and a cone of water sprays across a third of it in a beautiful arc.  On the bank, there is a permanently lit campfire, surrounded by four benches.  In turn, there are now four palms arranged around it to provide shade.  It looks amazing and Orchid herself was impressed by how well it turned out.  I shared a bowl of some of my rarest prize herbs with her to christen the park and it was a good night.

 While in Saqqarah, I dropped in on Camp Rabble and gave him a few dozen more debens of rare herbs.  He likes experimenting with cooking and smoking, so I’m all for encouraging his vices.  In return he gave me 7 slabs of Oyster Shell Marble with promises of a couple of slabs of Tangerine to follow this weekend.  It’ll be nice to get all of the tubs upgraded fully.  Now that I’m maintaining camels, the amounts of dung generated are copious.  In a matter of days, over a thousand debens of virtual fecal matter have accumulated in the single pen.
