Meroe Obelisk Tracking page

  • I will be making daily updates and keeping track of all builds. I will not be enforcing any imaginary rules at all, but keeping track of thee builds will help everyone in the long run.
  • I am not the Obelisk Police lol, I just want to help.


Egyptian Calendar: type /clockloc for a box on screen that will help track the Egyptian time
The calendar is made up of 3 seasons of 4 months; there's 30 days in a month. Shemu I, II, III, IV. Ahket I thru IV, Peret I thru IV.

Chat the last person listed as a builder and ask them if they passed yet

Due to popular demand, there is no more Queue per se. Instead, lets try to keep track so accidents are not made.
I will do my best to help with the tracking. If you build, please post size and build time.
Listed are all 7 obelisks with their appropriate Tracking pages.
Please keep this site up to date if you build an obelisk in Meroe.
If you are unable to update the wiki page, please send a chat to Oni in game and I will update it for you.

Since we aren't totally sure of anything required yet, this page will initially list the height required.

Most people did not approve a "queue system," so that is pretty much done away with.
All i ask is that you post when you build and approximate passing time so that others can build when yours is done without messing others up :).
There is no more "turns" so just help avoid confusion by posting what you build and when :).

It would be ideal if you were to build within 15 minutes of the last pass as to keep the passes churnin'.
Keeping track of the queue is mainly your responsibility, or chat Oni in game and I will update for you.
Make a note after your name on the list page to let people know you've passed, just to help keep things organized.

As with last tale, Oby's start at 7 cubits tall. Since this is the principle height, the queue starts at 8 cubits.

You may want to build a small construction site, set the obelisk at the size you expect to build, and get a sense for the sheer
measure of materials needed at this point. Tearing down the construction site will salvage the canvas and rope used to create it.
