 ===Secret Blueprints===
-Rumor has it that the Stranger has obtained cenotaph blueprints through illicit means and plans to distribute them to select players. During each building round, one member of the group is randomly chosen to receive these secret blueprints to finish the cenotaph by themselves. This notification is given in the calendar, much like a mentor shrine notification or event prize notification. The cost to do this is considerable: the normal single player contribution cost multiplied by the number of players in your group. If you decide to do this, the contribution is made like a regular one at the Cenotaph Construction Site. When all other members in your group finish their contributions and the next midnight check runs, the cenotaph will automatically get the 'go ahead' and you alone will receive credit for its construction! You immediately become eligible for higher level cenotaphs, but unfortunately the other members of your group must try again.

		+	When your cenotaph is completed, it will remain in Egypt until the next sorting event occurs. It will crumble at that point (to reduce the clutter of built cenotaphs over time). The cenotaphs are delicate and beautiful, but susceptible to the elements; indeed, this is perhaps why they must be continually rebuilt. Only the "Future Cenotaph" will remain permanently in Egypt after its construction.

 *New Kingdom - 12 players
-All players are eligible for Old Kingdom, but Middle Kingdom players must have already built an Old Kingdom cenotaph, and likewise New Kingdom players must have already built a Middle Kingdom cenotaph. Each cenotaph you complete grants you one chance to build the next highest type (If you finish 3 Old Kingdom cenotaphs, you can attempt to build a Middle Kingdom type 3 times. There is no requirement to build an Old Kingdom cenotaph.)
+All players are eligible for Old Kingdom, but Middle Kingdom players must have already built an Old Kingdom cenotaph, and likewise New Kingdom players must have already built a Middle Kingdom cenotaph. Additionally, higher level cenotaphs beyond Old Kingdom must first be demonstrated by a player at a University of Architecture before any groups of those types can be formed.
 The game will attempt to place players in the highest group possible, but if there are not enough players to fill a complete group the game will place them in a lower group. Players who cannot be placed into any of the three group types must wait until the next sorting. If you are signed up for the test but no longer wish to participate for some reason, you can visit a University of Architecture and temporarily suspend yourself from being sorted into a group. You can later begin participating again if you wish.
