Hell yeah I'm proud, can you tell?

The Player

I found ATITD during Tale 2 from Apple's download site, and being as I'm a fan of Egyptian things I tried it out. It was my first exposure to an MMO and I loved it. I was too shy though to really get involved, so things quickly got difficult for me and I quit. I wish I had stayed but I gave it another shot with the third telling and fell in even more love with the game. Played both betas (fun!) in addition to the real thing. I ended up leaving T3 too: friends stopped playing plus there was a death in my family and it became too much to keep up with.

I will finish this Tale. Really! I will!!

I like working on passing tests. I enjoy helping out with community projects. I'm always happy to answer questions when I can. Basically, I love this game. I don't have as much playing time as I'd like but I do as much as I can. Feel free to drop a line and say hi!

I'm hoping to really get into the Art & Music this time around; I've never hit the tech level necessary to do the fireworks and mosaics and gliders, etc, but I really, really want to. Music is a RL passion for me and I'd love to see how that translates into the game. I like doing worship tests because you have to work with lots of other people. Love doing Pilgrimage - running around the countryside is immensely more amusing with a group of people than doing it alone. Had a blast. Vigil is okay, have only done it sporadically before but I love the idea of it. Looking forward to trying out the other worship tests.

I like doing body tests because they're easy, but I hate that they take so much time. I'm indifferent towards architecture, though I tend to do obi because it's relatively simple. I'm going for a cut stone one this time around. I like doing others' thought puzzles but have never made one of my own beyond what was need for the T3 principle. I love puzzles, although I just don't understand EH even after reading the wiki guide.

I've done harmony tests. Did marriage, and the benefits kicked ass!, but never passed because we both stopped playing. I'm one that thinks when you do the marriage test you should be working as a team with your partner, NOT just doing your own thing and using your normal passes to help pass marriage. Taking the chance to participate in this test was the best decision I made all last tale. Hated prophet, thought it was stupid and mostly because I felt like I was never going to get the chance to pass. It's like a lottery for passing a test, bleh.

The Character

{insert adverb} married to SteveThePirate. Wedding went smoothly with Blywyn orating and witnessing with our friends Dovie, Niankanet, Harn, and Bourbon. After all my wondering if I was going to find someone to marry, he just pops on the chariot behind me calling out in region for a wife. Ah, love at first sight! Makes you do stupid things like moving from one end of Egypt to the other.

Trying to be an active member in my vigil, body, and art guilds. I love to help everyone so it makes it hard for me to work on my own projects, especially with Acrobatics and Singing Cicada needing so much time. Steve is helping out quite a bit though; strangely enough I think he's going to help keep *me* focused!

It's still early, but I've made so many great friends! It's going to be great getting to know them better and meeting even more people.

I really want and need to get out there and focus on acro and cicada... it's really hanging over my head that I've barely started both tests. Safari will open before I know it! And I've only learned half my lessons in glassblowing, I only just learned ore extraction... *sighs* Must remind myself it's not a race. My grandmother told me how there were many years of Egypt growing so it's bound to be the same again.
