Test of the Constellation

Gxenja: /* Constellation Table Locations */

Test of the Pathmaker

2009-10-31T13:07:53Z

Gxenja: /* Pathmaker Locations */

== Overview ==
''Design a miniature system of aqueduct towers, and challenge other to connect them in a loop. Living mossy towers (green) require the pipe to pass straight through, but turn adjacent. Dead (black) towers require the pipe to turn in place, but extend straight.''

== Principles ==

The Test and Principles can be started from a University of Thought at level 6.

''Principles of the Pathmaker will lead you through making one of each type of item needed to build a Pathmaker. Of course, you may trade for the materials, bypassing all of those steps.''

* Dig a [[Cuttable Stone]] at a Hole
* Cut a [[Cut Stone|Stone]] on a [[Rock Saw]]
* Cut a Hexas Plate Amethyst
* Cut a Looking Glass Jade
* Cut a Symmetry Turquoise
* Cut a Dragyn's Eye Citrine
* Mine a [[Huge Diamond]]
* Mine a [[Medium Topaz]]
* Mine [[Silver]]
* Build a Pathmaker
* Open your design for Judging
* Tear down your Pathmaker, OR do the following:
** Have 7 Judges solve and rate your Pathmaker
** Design rated Good by most judges
* All of the above, OR solve three recent winning Pathmakers

====Don't Panic!====
All steps regarding cutting a gem and mining gems do not need to be resolved. Once a Pathmaker has been built and Opened for judging, all Construction related steps are automatically completed if not already!

=== Demonstrate the Principle ===
* 2 Hexas Plate cut Amethyst
* 2 Dragyn's Eye cut Citrine
* 2 [[Huge Diamond]]
* 10 [[Medium Topaz]]
* 100 [[Silver Wire]]

''Demonstrated by [[User:McArine|McArine]] in [[Shabbat Ab]] on 09-03-22.''

== Designing a Puzzle ==

=== Cost to build ===
* 300 [[requires::Cut Stone]]
* 3 [[requires::Cut Gems#Hexas Plate|Hexas Plate cut Amethyst]]
* 3 [[requires::Cut Gems#Looking Glass|Looking Glass cut Jade]]
* 2 [[requires::Cut Gems#Symmetry|Symmetry cut Turquoise]]
* 1 [[requires::Cut Gems#Dragyn's Eye|Dragyn's Eye cut Citrine]]
* 2 [[requires::Huge Diamond]]
* 12 [[requires::Medium Topaz]]
* 60 [[requires::Silver Wire]]

Built in a [[Small Construction Site]] Under Test Menu

== Solving a Puzzle ==

The test description isn't very clear about the rules. Here's some clarification.

A Pathmaker puzzle is played on a two-dimensional grid. Initially, each square either contains a black tower, green tower, or is empty.

You may place pipe segments on a square, including squares containing a tower, by clicking on the square. Clicking on a square again cycles through the possible pipe options for that square:

* Straight pipe, top-to-bottom.
* Straight pipe, left-to-right.
* Pipe with a 90 degree bend (4 possible orientations).

The object of the puzzle is to join all towers into a single closed loop, while obeying these rules:

* All pipes must connect up correctly to adjacent squares
* You may only have one pipe segment per square, i.e. you cannot have a "cross" pipe.
* Pipes on a square with a green tower must be straight.
* Pipes on a square with a black tower must be a 90 degree bend.
* One of the pipes connected ''immediately adjacent'' to a green tower must be a 90 degree bend. (Note: the rules only require one of the two to be a bend, but both can be bends if you like).
* The two pipes connected ''immediately adjacent'' to a black tower must be straight.

The Pathmaker will not let you place pipes that violate these rules.

== Pathmaker Locations ==
* Green for recognized (passed) puzzles (use "Gr" prefix on pin)
* Red for unrecognized (unpassed) puzzles (use "Rd" prefix on pin)

== Solving a Puzzle ==

The test description isn't very clear about the rules. Here's some clarification.

A Pathmaker puzzle is played on a two-dimensional grid. Initially, each square either contains a black tower, green tower, or is empty.

You may place pipe segments on a square, including squares containing a tower, by clicking on the square. Clicking on a square again cycles through the possible pipe options for that square:

* Straight pipe, top-to-bottom.
* Straight pipe, left-to-right.
* Pipe with a 90 degree bend (4 possible orientations).

The object of the puzzle is to join all towers into a single closed loop, while obeying these rules:

* All pipes must connect up correctly to adjacent squares
* You may only have one pipe segment per square, i.e. you cannot have a "cross" pipe.
* Pipes on a square with a green tower must be straight.
* Pipes on a square with a black tower must be a 90 degree bend.
* One of the pipes connected ''immediately adjacent'' to a green tower must be a 90 degree bend. (Note: the rules only require one of the two to be a bend, but both can be bends if you like).
* The two pipes connected ''immediately adjacent'' to a black tower must be straight.

The Pathmaker will not let you place pipes that violate these rules.

== Pathmaker Locations ==
* Green for recognized (passed) puzzles (use "Gr" prefix on pin)
* Red for unrecognized (unpassed) puzzles (use "Rd" prefix on pin)

Test of the Pathmaker

2009-10-31T12:53:55Z

Gxenja: /* Pathmaker Locations */

== Overview ==
''Design a miniature system of aqueduct towers, and challenge other to connect them in a loop. Living mossy towers (green) require the pipe to pass straight through, but turn adjacent. Dead (black) towers require the pipe to turn in place, but extend straight.''

== Principles ==

The Test and Principles can be started from a University of Thought at level 6.

''Principles of the Pathmaker will lead you through making one of each type of item needed to build a Pathmaker. Of course, you may trade for the materials, bypassing all of those steps.''

* Dig a [[Cuttable Stone]] at a Hole
* Cut a [[Cut Stone|Stone]] on a [[Rock Saw]]
* Cut a Hexas Plate Amethyst
* Cut a Looking Glass Jade
* Cut a Symmetry Turquoise
* Cut a Dragyn's Eye Citrine
* Mine a [[Huge Diamond]]
* Mine a [[Medium Topaz]]
* Mine [[Silver]]
* Build a Pathmaker
* Open your design for Judging
* Tear down your Pathmaker, OR do the following:
** Have 7 Judges solve and rate your Pathmaker
** Design rated Good by most judges
* All of the above, OR solve three recent winning Pathmakers

====Don't Panic!====
All steps regarding cutting a gem and mining gems do not need to be resolved. Once a Pathmaker has been built and Opened for judging, all Construction related steps are automatically completed if not already!

=== Demonstrate the Principle ===
* 2 Hexas Plate cut Amethyst
* 2 Dragyn's Eye cut Citrine
* 2 [[Huge Diamond]]

Demi-Pharaoh

2009-09-19T12:17:46Z

Gxenja: /* Term */

== Sign Up ==
Demi-Pharaoh election periods are announced via the Calendar, approximately once a month. Players may sign up during the specified time (generally 48 hours) at a Voting Booth.
* Players may also sign up to be enrolled in upcoming elections automatically.
* Players may also withdraw from an election (or all upcoming elections) at the booth.

== Election Process ==
The election is a multi-step process.

# All players who are signed up at the end of the sign up period are split into small groups of seven or fewer.
# For each round, group members share a chat channel for several days. This allows for discussion and decision making between those in the group.
#* Each participant may vote for one of the members of their group at a Voting Booth.
#* At the end of the round, the player with the most votes from the group advances. If there is a tie, no player advances.
# This process continues until seven or fewer candidates remain.
# An Egypt-wide election is then held in which all citizens may participate.
# The candidate who receives the most votes in this election becomes a Demi-Pharaoh.

== Powers ==
Each Demi-Pharaoh gains the ability to permanently ban up to seven people (characters, not players) from Egypt.

* The ban applies to the character, not to the player. A player whose character is banned is free to create a new character.
* Demi-Pharaohs may not use their power to ban each other.
* At the moment, a Demi-Pharaoh must click on a person to ban them. This physical limitation is not intended to be a restriction on the ban power: if a Demi-Pharaoh requests that someone be banned, it will happen.
* The spouse of a Demi-Pharoah does not have access to the ban stick, if they log into the DP avi using spouse log. They do, however, have access if they know the DP's password, and are able to log in directly as them.

== Term ==
*Demi-Pharaohs are elected for life. There is no way to remove a Demi-Pharaoh from office once elected.
*A Demi-Pharaoh may be banned through the legal system using [[law]]'s.
*The legal system may not be used to limit the powers of a Demi-Pharaoh or interfere with the election process, however it may be used to extend powers.

==Final Rounds:==

These are the candidates that have earned escalation to public vote so far:

* Kiya (alone)
* Eldrad, Murtha
* Coyan, Astrina -- April 2009 Please visit the [[DP Debate]] Page for details on this election.
* Biker, Robare - June 2009
* [[user:Korrin|Korrin]], Murtha - July 2009
* Zildjan, Voyna - August 2009
* Murtha, Dreasimy, Aku, Ephemere, Twoshadows, Dustitwister, SpicyXXX, - September 2009

== ELECTED DP'S ==

# Kiya
# Eldrad
# Astrina
# Robare
# Korrin
# Zildjan
# Ephemere

==DP Ban Topics to Consider ==

These are some topics that exist in Egypt and happen all the time. Every DP candidate should have an answer for these and reasoning behind their answers.

# Stealing.
##Can an Elder in a Guild "steal" from that guild? (e.g. 1 brick or 100000000 raeli tiles)
### If an Elder in Guild A takes something from Guild A and gives it to Guild B or Person B, is that "stealing"?
### If an Elder in Guild A takes something for personal use, is that "stealing"?
## If a member in Guild A takes something for personal use or to give to Guild B, is that "stealing"?
## Can a spouse "steal" from a spouse?
## If an Elder is booted from a Guild, are the other Elders "stealing" the Guild and its resources?
## If a Guild has multiple Elders and one Elder boots all the other Elders from the Guild, is the remaining Elder "stealing" the Guild and its resources?

Demi-Pharaoh

2009-09-19T12:17:27Z

Gxenja: /* Term */

== Sign Up ==
Demi-Pharaoh election periods are announced via the Calendar, approximately once a month. Players may sign up during the specified time (generally 48 hours) at a Voting Booth.
* Players may also sign up to be enrolled in upcoming elections automatically.
* Players may also withdraw from an election (or all upcoming elections) at the booth.

== Election Process ==
The election is a multi-step process.

# All players who are signed up at the end of the sign up period are split into small groups of seven or fewer.
# For each round, group members share a chat channel for several days. This allows for discussion and decision making between those in the group.
#* Each participant may vote for one of the members of their group at a Voting Booth.
#* At the end of the round, the player with the most votes from the group advances. If there is a tie, no player advances.
# This process continues until seven or fewer candidates remain.
# An Egypt-wide election is then held in which all citizens may participate.
# The candidate who receives the most votes in this election becomes a Demi-Pharaoh.

== Powers ==
Each Demi-Pharaoh gains the ability to permanently ban up to seven people (characters, not players) from Egypt.

* The ban applies to the character, not to the player. A player whose character is banned is free to create a new character.
* Demi-Pharaohs may not use their power to ban each other.
* At the moment, a Demi-Pharaoh must click on a person to ban them. This physical limitation is not intended to be a restriction on the ban power: if a Demi-Pharaoh requests that someone be banned, it will happen.
* The spouse of a Demi-Pharoah does not have access to the ban stick, if they log into the DP avi using spouse log. They do, however, have access if they know the DP's password, and are able to log in directly as them.

== Term ==
*Demi-Pharaohs are elected for life. There is no way to remove a Demi-Pharaoh from office once elected.
*A Demi-Pharaoh may be banned through the legal system using [[law]]s.
*The legal system may not be used to limit the powers of a Demi-Pharaoh or interfere with the election process, however it may be used to extend powers.

==Final Rounds:==

These are the candidates that have earned escalation to public vote so far:

* Kiya (alone)
* Eldrad, Murtha
* Coyan, Astrina -- April 2009 Please visit the [[DP Debate]] Page for details on this election.
* Biker, Robare - June 2009
* [[user:Korrin|Korrin]], Murtha - July 2009
* Zildjan, Voyna - August 2009
* Murtha, Dreasimy, Aku, Ephemere, Twoshadows, Dustitwister, SpicyXXX, - September 2009

== ELECTED DP'S ==

# Kiya
# Eldrad
# Astrina
# Robare
# Korrin
# Zildjan
# Ephemere

==DP Ban Topics to Consider ==

These are some topics that exist in Egypt and happen all the time. Every DP candidate should have an answer for these and reasoning behind their answers.

# Stealing.
##Can an Elder in a Guild "steal" from that guild? (e.g. 1 brick or 100000000 raeli tiles)
### If an Elder in Guild A takes something from Guild A and gives it to Guild B or Person B, is that "stealing"?
### If an Elder in Guild A takes something for personal use, is that "stealing"?
## If a member in Guild A takes something for personal use or to give to Guild B, is that "stealing"?
## Can a spouse "steal" from a spouse?
## If an Elder is booted from a Guild, are the other Elders "stealing" the Guild and its resources?
## If a Guild has multiple Elders and one Elder boots all the other Elders from the Guild, is the remaining Elder "stealing" the Guild and its resources?
# Resource Location Conflicts. (note: There are no property laws in Egypt)
## If someone builds a CP or Mine next to someone else's is this "griefing"
## If someone (A) is "griefed" by person (B) and they "retaliate" against person B by building beehives or brickracks or flax beds etc is that also "griefing"?
# Does "gaming" exist?
## Does having a spouse or mules or access to friends accounts and playing those accounts constitute "gaming"?
## Does having your spouse or mules or friends and guildmates vote or play your test item (e.g. art or thought puzzles, with or without knowing the answers) constitute "gaming"?

Test of the Pathmaker

2009-09-19T12:02:08Z

Gxenja: /* Pathmaker Locations */

== Overview ==
''Design a miniature system of aqueduct towers, and challenge other to connect them in a loop. Living mossy towers (green) require the pipe to pass straight through, but turn adjacent. Dead (black) towers require the pipe to turn in place, but extend straight.''

== Principles ==

The Test and Principles can be started from a University of Thought at level 6.

''Principles of the Pathmaker will lead you through making one of each type of item needed to build a Pathmaker. Of course, you may trade for the materials, bypassing all of those steps.''

* Dig a [[Cuttable Stone]] at a Hole
* Cut a [[Cut Stone|Stone]] on a [[Rock Saw]]
* Cut a Hexas Plate Amethyst
* Cut a Looking Glass Jade
* Cut a Symmetry Turquoise
* Cut a Dragyn's Eye Citrine
* Mine a [[Huge Diamond]]
* Mine a [[Medium Topaz]]
* Mine [[Silver]]
* Build a Pathmaker
* Open your design for Judging
* Tear down your Pathmaker, OR do the following:
** Have 7 Judges solve and rate your Pathmaker
** Design rated Good by most judges
* All of the above, OR solve three recent winning Pathmakers

====Don't Panic!====
All steps regarding cutting a gem and mining gems do not need to be resolved. Once a Pathmaker has been built and Opened for judging, all Construction related steps are automatically completed if not already!

=== Demonstrate the Principle ===
* 2 Hexas Plate cut Amethyst
* 2 Dragyn's Eye cut Citrine
* 2 [[Huge Diamond]]
* 10 [[Medium Topaz]]
* 100 [[Silver Wire]]

''Demonstrated by [[User:McArine|McArine]] in [[Shabbat Ab]] on 09-03-22.''

== Designing a Puzzle ==

=== Cost to build ===
* 300 [[requires::Cut Stone]]
* 3 [[requires::Cut Gems#Hexas Plate|Hexas Plate cut Amethyst]]
* 3 [[requires::Cut Gems#Looking Glass|Looking Glass cut Jade]]
* 2 [[requires::Cut Gems#Symmetry|Symmetry cut Turquoise]]

* 2 [[requires::Huge Diamond]]
* 12 [[requires::Medium Topaz]]
* 60 [[requires::Silver Wire]]

Built in a [[Small Construction Site]] Under Test Menu

== Solving a Puzzle ==

The test description isn't very clear about the rules. Here's some clarification.

A Pathmaker puzzle is played on a two-dimensional grid. Initially, each square either contains a black tower, green tower, or is empty.

You may place pipe segments on a square, including squares containing a tower, by clicking on the square. Clicking on a square again cycles through the possible pipe options for that square:

* Straight pipe, top-to-bottom.
* Straight pipe, left-to-right.
* Pipe with a 90 degree bend (4 possible orientations).

The object of the puzzle is to join all towers into a single closed loop, while obeying these rules:

* All pipes must connect up correctly to adjacent squares
* You may only have one pipe segment per square, i.e. you cannot have a "cross" pipe.
* Pipes on a square with a green tower must be straight.
* Pipes on a square with a black tower must be a 90 degree bend.
* One of the pipes connected ''immediately adjacent'' to a green tower must be a 90 degree bend. (Note: the rules only require one of the two to be a bend, but both can be bends if you like).
* The two pipes connected ''immediately adjacent'' to a black tower must be straight.

The Pathmaker will not let you place pipes that violate these rules.

== Pathmaker Locations ==
* Green for recognized (passed) puzzles (use "Gr" prefix on pin)
* Red for unrecognized (unpassed) puzzles (use "Rd" prefix on pin)

Test of the Pathmaker

2009-09-18T17:30:28Z

Gxenja: /* Pathmaker Locations */

== Overview ==
''Design a miniature system of aqueduct towers, and challenge other to connect them in a loop. Living mossy towers (green) require the pipe to pass straight through, but turn adjacent. Dead (black) towers require the pipe to turn in place, but extend straight.''

== Principles ==

The Test and Principles can be started from a University of Thought at level 6.

''Principles of the Pathmaker will lead you through making one of each type of item needed to build a Pathmaker. Of course, you may trade for the materials, bypassing all of those steps.''

* Dig a [[Cuttable Stone]] at a Hole
* Cut a [[Cut Stone|Stone]] on a [[Rock Saw]]
* Cut a Hexas Plate Amethyst
* Cut a Looking Glass Jade
* Cut a Symmetry Turquoise
* Cut a Dragyn's Eye Citrine
* Mine a [[Huge Diamond]]
* Mine a [[Medium Topaz]]
* Mine [[Silver]]
* Build a Pathmaker
* Open your design for Judging
* Tear down your Pathmaker, OR do the following:
** Have 7 Judges solve and rate your Pathmaker
** Design rated Good by most judges
* All of the above, OR solve three recent winning Pathmakers

====Don't Panic!====
All steps regarding cutting a gem and mining gems do not need to be resolved. Once a Pathmaker has been built and Opened for judging, all Construction related steps are automatically completed if not already!

=== Demonstrate the Principle ===
* 2 Hexas Plate cut Amethyst
* 2 Dragyn's Eye cut Citrine
* 2 [[Huge Diamond]]
* 10 [[Medium Topaz]]
* 100 [[Silver Wire]]

''Demonstrated by [[User:McArine|McArine]] in [[Shabbat Ab]] on 09-03-22.''

== Designing a Puzzle ==

=== Cost to build ===
* 300 [[requires::Cut Stone]]
* 3 [[requires::Cut Gems#Hexas Plate|Hexas Plate cut Amethyst]]
* 3 [[requires::Cut Gems#Looking Glass|Looking Glass cut Jade]]
* 2 [[requires::Cut Gems#Symmetry|Symmetry cut Turquoise]]
* 1 [[requires::Cut Gems#Dragyn's Eye|Dragyn's Eye cut Citrine]]
* 2 [[requires::Huge Diamond]]
* 12 [[requires::Medium Topaz]]
* 60 [[requires::Silver Wire]]

Built in a [[Small Construction Site]] Under Test Menu

== Solving a Puzzle ==

The test description isn't very clear about the rules. Here's some clarification.

A Pathmaker puzzle is played on a two-dimensional grid. Initially, each square either contains a black tower, green tower, or is empty.

You may place pipe segments on a square, including squares containing a tower, by clicking on the square. Clicking on a square again cycles through the possible pipe options for that square:

* Straight pipe, top-to-bottom.
* Straight pipe, left-to-right.
* Pipe with a 90 degree bend (4 possible orientations).

The object of the puzzle is to join all towers into a single closed loop, while obeying these rules:

* All pipes must connect up correctly to adjacent squares
* You may only have one pipe segment per square, i.e. you cannot have a "cross" pipe.
* Pipes on a square with a green tower must be straight.
* Pipes on a square with a black tower must be a 90 degree bend.
* One of the pipes connected ''immediately adjacent'' to a green tower must be a 90 degree bend. (Note: the rules only require one of the two to be a bend, but both can be bends if you like).
* The two pipes connected ''immediately adjacent'' to a black tower must be straight.

The Pathmaker will not let you place pipes that violate these rules.

== Pathmaker Locations ==
* Green for recognized (passed) puzzles (use "Gr" prefix on pin)
* Red for unrecognized (unpassed) puzzles (use "Rd" prefix on pin)
