 === Getting More Speed  ===
-Getting more than 7 perm speed needs more advances as follows:
+Speed points are allocated depending on the number of advances you achieve. For the first eight levels, it is one advance per speed point. It then increases exponentially.

 It is possible to receive more than one advance in a day.
 * For example, if you have 15,000 points and the advances cost 5,000 points then you will gain three advances.
-* For example, if you have 460,000 points and the advances cost 20,800 points each, then you will gain 22 advances (457,600 points) and keep 2,400 points for the next round of advancements.

 Cicada points are earned both by finding other players' cages (a single bonus for each cage found) and by building your own (points earned continuously for as long as your cages survive). Every 3 Egypt days, the 21 players with the highest scores receive a permanent Speed advance. They then all lose cicada points equal to the 21st player's score.  (In effect, the 21st player's score determines how much it "costs" to "buy" a Speed point that day.) For Tale 7, the advances are awarded every third Egypt day. The specific time of the advance award slowly increases.  In Year 1 Peret II,  the award time was 7:30 pm. In Year 1 late in Shemu III the award time is close to 8:00pm
-'''In most people's opinion the locations of cicada cages should not be shared. Doing so is considered rude and can ruin the test for other players.'''
+Some people's opinion is that locations of cicada cages should not be shared. However, there is no law against it, and it is (unfortunately) common for groups of people to share locations with each other, particularly among mules and spouses. It should be noted that no DP has ever banned a player for sharing locations.

-Hidden across the Egyptian landscape are dozens of [[produces::Cicada Cage]]s, detectable mainly through the continuous chirping sounds they emit. A player who comes across a cicada cage is allowed to take a cicada from it (provided the player has signed up for the Cicada test). When a player has collected enough cicadas, he may build and place a cicada cage of his own. Cages disappear after 7 players have discovered them.
