'''19 June 2009'''

Oops, been a while :-)

Actually have been playing steadily, just not showing much progress as I was making Obelisk materials. Finally put the 151 cubit Obelisk up last night. Now I just have to hope it passes!

I finished a few more easy Principles, so up to Level 19 now. I am very close on Cicadas so that will be the next drive to finish. I only need 2 more points there and I am close to getting the first of them now.

'''16 Feb 2009'''

Gave a good push this past weekend on Cicadas and boosted my score to 30,000+ points, which was more than enough for my first speed point! I even have enough left that I am hopeful for a second point this week.

Completed Principles for Vigils finally, sitting in on a small one run by Nabbic. Learned about hookahs at that one, and got my Fumeology score up to 24. I have to look into getting one made.

I have all my metal tools now, so I've been gathering limestone like a madman and will be trying some glasswork later this week I hope.

I now have 2 mentor decrees in my Sacelum. One more needed for the Principle!

'''25 Jan 2009'''

Closing in on my 130 cubit obelisk materials, with only about 300 linen left to make. I will try to trade for some of it if I can. Got my beetle terrarium up and running but I still need to learn a lot more about that. I can see already though that cabbage will be a problem :-)

Glass is getting to be a pain. I need better chisels so I will have to try and find some lead and tungsten. In addition to the flint chisels, I need to complete my metalworking tools now that I have an Anvil. I traded for some carpentry blades finally, so that will help when I need more boards.

Found a mine spot that gives rubies, so that was nice. Would love to find lead or tungsten but I don't have the time to search. I need to make more time for Cicadas but that will have to wait for the Obelisk Test.

'''07 Jan 2009'''

Been very busy the last week, gathering materials for my Obelisk. Except for [[Linen]], I had enough for a 70 cubit, but I will have to up that now as the region maximum is now 80. I think Linen is a bit too difficult to make in the game system, though. I picked up 3 statues in the Phoenix Race, along with 3 Pepper Seeds, but that wasn't enough to win. I need to look into stat improvements as most people were able to run faster than I could. It was fun though.

I've got my metalworking shop going, with a Student Forge and Casting Box. I'll use SACFAR for the Master versions if I need them. I was able to get a [[Silver]] and [[Aluminum]] mine this week also, so I made the Silver Bowl needed for the [[Test of the Vigil]]. I also got a cookpot made, along with plenty of nails and a Hand Loom, which doesn't break strings! I've now been able to crank out rope at a far better rate thanks to the savings in Twine.

The Carpentry Bench now has a vise, and I now have an iron shovel! Got to get in on a dig to try it out, and I need more Medium Stones anyway. I've acquired Level 2 on some additional skills, including [[Project Management]], so I can now build Medium Construction Sites when needed. I've been making a few candles each day for another level 2 skill.

'''30 Dec 2008'''

Learned [[Improved Brick Rack Construction]] last night and upgraded my Forge with a [[Nail Mould]]. Constructed the first of many Improved Brick Racks :-) Was in the right place at the right time today and partnered with Durgan to complete the [[Principles of Worship]]. Began construction of a [[Small Warehouse]] to meet my expanding storage needs. Got my [[Glazier's_Bench|Glaziers Bench]] built and went off for some [[soda]] and [[limestone]].

'''28 Dec 2008'''

Finished both the Art and Music Initiation and the Thought Initiation, reaching Level 9, Inititate of Six. A second mine, to get [[copper]], is up and running. Did another dig for a good batch of stones, but need to do some more. Finished the second level of [[Ore Extraction]] and got [[Structure Repair]] skill. Learned to use the [[Charcoal Hearth]], [[Compression Furnace]] and [[Student's Forge]] and made some iron bars from ore. This allowed me to build my own hearth, furnace and forge. Started a second compound building as a metal shop which will eventually contain all those devices. I now know where the [[Tin]] vein is, so plans are afoot for a third mine. Put up a Basic Sign identifying my compound :)

'''25 Dec 2008'''

Got some major things accomplished over these holiday days off. Got my first mine up and running, producing Iron ore. The second sheep pen is in and filling up nicely. Recouped the lost stones from the rollback, and then some. Acquired the skills for [[Rock of Ages]] thanks to some grilled carrots and grabbed [[Horticulture]] while out trying the chariot routes. Those will be handy once more are opened up. Picked up a level on the Harmony Initiation and am 3 votes away from the Art & Music Initiation. Tomorrow I hope to do my Empty Hand Puzzle. I think I am beginning to find a rhythym. :)

'''23 Dec 2008'''

The last few days have been busy. My sheep pen was up to 5 breeding pairs, so I have been able to begin slaughtering and finally getting some [[leather]] and [[oil]]. Plans are underway for a second pen. The Dromedary Pen looks cool, but I will probably never get a camel due to the massive amounts of straw needed. I put some in every day though and it's now up to 2K, so perhaps some day.

Like most everyone else, I passed the first stage of the [[Test of the Acrobat]], gaining Level 5. I've taught 29 facets so far, and learned a number of others. Got my [[Cooking]] skill as planned and got a [[kitchen]] and firepit set up so I could grill some food and gather some vegetable juice for the Thought Initiation. My first 2 Apiaries are up and humming as well. No luck dowsing anywhere yet though. I took lessons for [[Mining]] and [[Chariot Repair]] and taught a couple myself.

Got in on my first dig last night and got 7 stones in the distribution, then WHAM!, a possible 30 minute server rollback as I was logging out for the night. Hope they are still there, or we'll get to do that all over again.

'''18 Dec 2008'''

A productive and challenging first week. Made it to Level Four and have my compound nicely outfitted with a [[Sheep Pen]] and [[Dromedary Pen]]. Built a [[Guild Hall]] for what I hope will become a New Players Guild, The Eye of Horus. My goal for the next few days is to finish the Initiations for Thought, Harmony and Art & Music and collect [[Straw]] to see if I can get a camel. I think the next skill I will attempt is cooking, as I finally traded for all the needed seeds. The Universities kept giving me [[Onions]]!

'''13 Dec 2008'''

A new player to Tale in the Desert, I've enjoyed my first day! 12+ hours of work have resulted in reaching Level 2 and completing the Initiation for Architecture. My [[compound]] has a [[True Kiln]], a storage box and a [[Carpentry Shop]], which I discovered I can't get blades for yet :) I even managed to help out the larger community efforts a little bit, hauling [[boards]] and donating [[Flint]].

I don't understand everything that went on today, but I think our region, [[Shabbat Ab]], did fairly well in unlocking technologies and getting things set up.

== Plans and Schemes ==

'''Underway'''

*Working away on the Acrobat Test whenever the opportunity presents itself.
*I am making a push on the Cicada test to try and get that finished. I have 5 speed points now so I only need 2 more.
*Now that SA has a cabbage tower, I will probably get back to Beetle Breeding next.
*I still work on Safari as chances come up. Still a ways to go there though.

'''Coming up soon'''

*I want to get started on Venery and Pathmaker as I like puzzles and thought activities.
*Finally have lead tools for limestone collection, so I will be trying my own glasswork soon.
*I need to learn about Cooking and the use of recipes to improve my stats.
*I desperately need to spend some time researching the next skill level requirements and seeing what I can collect and/or trade for. I need to get caught up on those again.

'''16 Feb 2009'''

Gave a good push this past weekend on Cicadas and boosted my score to 30,000+ points, which was more than enough for my first speed point! I even have enough left that I am hopeful for a second point this week.

Completed Principles for Vigils finally, sitting in on a small one run by Nabbic. Learned about hookahs at that one, and got my Fumeology score up to 24. I have to look into getting one made.

I have all my metal tools now, so I've been gathering limestone like a madman and will be trying some glasswork later this week I hope.

I now have 2 mentor decrees in my Sacelum. One more needed for the Principle!

'''25 Jan 2009'''

Closing in on my 130 cubit obelisk materials, with only about 300 linen left to make. I will try to trade for some of it if I can. Got my beetle terrarium up and running but I still need to learn a lot more about that. I can see already though that cabbage will be a problem :-)

Glass is getting to be a pain. I need better chisels so I will have to try and find some lead and tungsten. In addition to the flint chisels, I need to complete my metalworking tools now that I have an Anvil. I traded for some carpentry blades finally, so that will help when I need more boards.

Found a mine spot that gives rubies, so that was nice. Would love to find lead or tungsten but I don't have the time to search. I need to make more time for Cicadas but that will have to wait for the Obelisk Test.

'''07 Jan 2009'''

Been very busy the last week, gathering materials for my Obelisk. Except for [[Linen]], I had enough for a 70 cubit, but I will have to up that now as the region maximum is now 80. I think Linen is a bit too difficult to make in the game system, though. I picked up 3 statues in the Phoenix Race, along with 3 Pepper Seeds, but that wasn't enough to win. I need to look into stat improvements as most people were able to run faster than I could. It was fun though.

I've got my metalworking shop going, with a Student Forge and Casting Box. I'll use SACFAR for the Master versions if I need them. I was able to get a [[Silver]] and [[Aluminum]] mine this week also, so I made the Silver Bowl needed for the [[Test of the Vigil]]. I also got a cookpot made, along with plenty of nails and a Hand Loom, which doesn't break strings! I've now been able to crank out rope at a far better rate thanks to the savings in Twine.

The Carpentry Bench now has a vise, and I now have an iron shovel! Got to get in on a dig to try it out, and I need more Medium Stones anyway. I've acquired Level 2 on some additional skills, including [[Project Management]], so I can now build Medium Construction Sites when needed. I've been making a few candles each day for another level 2 skill.

'''30 Dec 2008'''

Learned [[Improved Brick Rack Construction]] last night and upgraded my Forge with a [[Nail Mould]]. Constructed the first of many Improved Brick Racks :-) Was in the right place at the right time today and partnered with Durgan to complete the [[Principles of Worship]]. Began construction of a [[Small Warehouse]] to meet my expanding storage needs. Got my [[Glazier's_Bench|Glaziers Bench]] built and went off for some [[soda]] and [[limestone]].

'''28 Dec 2008'''

Finished both the Art and Music Initiation and the Thought Initiation, reaching Level 9, Inititate of Six. A second mine, to get [[copper]], is up and running. Did another dig for a good batch of stones, but need to do some more. Finished the second level of [[Ore Extraction]] and got [[Structure Repair]] skill. Learned to use the [[Charcoal Hearth]], [[Compression Furnace]] and [[Student's Forge]] and made some iron bars from ore. This allowed me to build my own hearth, furnace and forge. Started a second compound building as a metal shop which will eventually contain all those devices. I now know where the [[Tin]] vein is, so plans are afoot for a third mine. Put up a Basic Sign identifying my compound :)

'''25 Dec 2008'''

Got some major things accomplished over these holiday days off. Got my first mine up and running, producing Iron ore. The second sheep pen is in and filling up nicely. Recouped the lost stones from the rollback, and then some. Acquired the skills for [[Rock of Ages]] thanks to some grilled carrots and grabbed [[Horticulture]] while out trying the chariot routes. Those will be handy once more are opened up. Picked up a level on the Harmony Initiation and am 3 votes away from the Art & Music Initiation. Tomorrow I hope to do my Empty Hand Puzzle. I think I am beginning to find a rhythym. :)

'''23 Dec 2008'''

The last few days have been busy. My sheep pen was up to 5 breeding pairs, so I have been able to begin slaughtering and finally getting some [[leather]] and [[oil]]. Plans are underway for a second pen. The Dromedary Pen looks cool, but I will probably never get a camel due to the massive amounts of straw needed. I put some in every day though and it's now up to 2K, so perhaps some day.

Like most everyone else, I passed the first stage of the [[Test of the Acrobat]], gaining Level 5. I've taught 29 facets so far, and learned a number of others. Got my [[Cooking]] skill as planned and got a [[kitchen]] and firepit set up so I could grill some food and gather some vegetable juice for the Thought Initiation. My first 2 Apiaries are up and humming as well. No luck dowsing anywhere yet though. I took lessons for [[Mining]] and [[Chariot Repair]] and taught a couple myself.

Got in on my first dig last night and got 7 stones in the distribution, then WHAM!, a possible 30 minute server rollback as I was logging out for the night. Hope they are still there, or we'll get to do that all over again.

'''18 Dec 2008'''

A productive and challenging first week. Made it to Level Four and have my compound nicely outfitted with a [[Sheep Pen]] and [[Dromedary Pen]]. Built a [[Guild Hall]] for what I hope will become a New Players Guild, The Eye of Horus. My goal for the next few days is to finish the Initiations for Thought, Harmony and Art & Music and collect [[Straw]] to see if I can get a camel. I think the next skill I will attempt is cooking, as I finally traded for all the needed seeds. The Universities kept giving me [[Onions]]!

'''13 Dec 2008'''

A new player to Tale in the Desert, I've enjoyed my first day! 12+ hours of work have resulted in reaching Level 2 and completing the Initiation for Architecture. My [[compound]] has a [[True Kiln]], a storage box and a [[Carpentry Shop]], which I discovered I can't get blades for yet :) I even managed to help out the larger community efforts a little bit, hauling [[boards]] and donating [[Flint]].

I don't understand everything that went on today, but I think our region, [[Shabbat Ab]], did fairly well in unlocking technologies and getting things set up.

== Plans and Schemes ==

'''Underway'''

*Building up resources for an obelisk attempt, once the Guild/Queue gets itself sorted out. Looks like Linen will be the problem there.
*Working away on the Acrobat Test whenever the opportunity presents itself.
*I am making a push on the Cicada test to try and get a speed point or two.
*Mining as necessary for things I need to do. I now have mines for Rubies, Iron, Copper, Tin, Aluminum and Silver.
*Started working on breeding Beetles but have a long way to go yet.

'''Coming up soon'''

*I need a third sheep pen. Leather seems to be a heavily needed resource so it looks like I will need more pens over time. My chances of getting a camel from the wild are slim, with straw costs in the tens-of-thousands now, so sheep seem to be the only viable source.
*Finally have lead tools for limestone collection, so I will be trying my own glasswork soon.
*I need to learn about Cooking and the use of recipes to improve my stats.
*I desperately need to spend some time researching the next skill level requirements and seeing what I can collect and/or trade for. I need to get caught up on those again.

'''25 Jan 2009'''

Closing in on my 130 cubit obelisk materials, with only about 300 linen left to make. I will try to trade for some of it if I can. Got my beetle terrarium up and running but I still need to learn a lot more about that. I can see already though that cabbage will be a problem :-)

Glass is getting to be a pain. I need better chisels so I will have to try and find some lead and tungsten. In addition to the flint chisels, I need to complete my metalworking tools now that I have an Anvil. I traded for some carpentry blades finally, so that will help when I need more boards.

Found a mine spot that gives rubies, so that was nice. Would love to find lead or tungsten but I don't have the time to search. I need to make more time for Cicadas but that will have to wait for the Obelisk Test.

'''07 Jan 2009'''

Been very busy the last week, gathering materials for my Obelisk. Except for [[Linen]], I had enough for a 70 cubit, but I will have to up that now as the region maximum is now 80. I think Linen is a bit too difficult to make in the game system, though. I picked up 3 statues in the Phoenix Race, along with 3 Pepper Seeds, but that wasn't enough to win. I need to look into stat improvements as most people were able to run faster than I could. It was fun though.

I've got my metalworking shop going, with a Student Forge and Casting Box. I'll use SACFAR for the Master versions if I need them. I was able to get a [[Silver]] and [[Aluminum]] mine this week also, so I made the Silver Bowl needed for the [[Test of the Vigil]]. I also got a cookpot made, along with plenty of nails and a Hand Loom, which doesn't break strings! I've now been able to crank out rope at a far better rate thanks to the savings in Twine.

The Carpentry Bench now has a vise, and I now have an iron shovel! Got to get in on a dig to try it out, and I need more Medium Stones anyway. I've acquired Level 2 on some additional skills, including [[Project Management]], so I can now build Medium Construction Sites when needed. I've been making a few candles each day for another level 2 skill.

'''30 Dec 2008'''

Learned [[Improved Brick Rack Construction]] last night and upgraded my Forge with a [[Nail Mould]]. Constructed the first of many Improved Brick Racks :-) Was in the right place at the right time today and partnered with Durgan to complete the [[Principles of Worship]]. Began construction of a [[Small Warehouse]] to meet my expanding storage needs. Got my [[Glazier's_Bench|Glaziers Bench]] built and went off for some [[soda]] and [[limestone]].

'''28 Dec 2008'''

Finished both the Art and Music Initiation and the Thought Initiation, reaching Level 9, Inititate of Six. A second mine, to get [[copper]], is up and running. Did another dig for a good batch of stones, but need to do some more. Finished the second level of [[Ore Extraction]] and got [[Structure Repair]] skill. Learned to use the [[Charcoal Hearth]], [[Compression Furnace]] and [[Student's Forge]] and made some iron bars from ore. This allowed me to build my own hearth, furnace and forge. Started a second compound building as a metal shop which will eventually contain all those devices. I now know where the [[Tin]] vein is, so plans are afoot for a third mine. Put up a Basic Sign identifying my compound :)

'''25 Dec 2008'''

Got some major things accomplished over these holiday days off. Got my first mine up and running, producing Iron ore. The second sheep pen is in and filling up nicely. Recouped the lost stones from the rollback, and then some. Acquired the skills for [[Rock of Ages]] thanks to some grilled carrots and grabbed [[Horticulture]] while out trying the chariot routes. Those will be handy once more are opened up. Picked up a level on the Harmony Initiation and am 3 votes away from the Art & Music Initiation. Tomorrow I hope to do my Empty Hand Puzzle. I think I am beginning to find a rhythym. :)

'''23 Dec 2008'''

The last few days have been busy. My sheep pen was up to 5 breeding pairs, so I have been able to begin slaughtering and finally getting some [[leather]] and [[oil]]. Plans are underway for a second pen. The Dromedary Pen looks cool, but I will probably never get a camel due to the massive amounts of straw needed. I put some in every day though and it's now up to 2K, so perhaps some day.

Like most everyone else, I passed the first stage of the [[Test of the Acrobat]], gaining Level 5. I've taught 29 facets so far, and learned a number of others. Got my [[Cooking]] skill as planned and got a [[kitchen]] and firepit set up so I could grill some food and gather some vegetable juice for the Thought Initiation. My first 2 Apiaries are up and humming as well. No luck dowsing anywhere yet though. I took lessons for [[Mining]] and [[Chariot Repair]] and taught a couple myself.

Got in on my first dig last night and got 7 stones in the distribution, then WHAM!, a possible 30 minute server rollback as I was logging out for the night. Hope they are still there, or we'll get to do that all over again.

'''18 Dec 2008'''

A productive and challenging first week. Made it to Level Four and have my compound nicely outfitted with a [[Sheep Pen]] and [[Dromedary Pen]]. Built a [[Guild Hall]] for what I hope will become a New Players Guild, The Eye of Horus. My goal for the next few days is to finish the Initiations for Thought, Harmony and Art & Music and collect [[Straw]] to see if I can get a camel. I think the next skill I will attempt is cooking, as I finally traded for all the needed seeds. The Universities kept giving me [[Onions]]!

'''13 Dec 2008'''

A new player to Tale in the Desert, I've enjoyed my first day! 12+ hours of work have resulted in reaching Level 2 and completing the Initiation for Architecture. My [[compound]] has a [[True Kiln]], a storage box and a [[Carpentry Shop]], which I discovered I can't get blades for yet :) I even managed to help out the larger community efforts a little bit, hauling [[boards]] and donating [[Flint]].

I don't understand everything that went on today, but I think our region, [[Shabbat Ab]], did fairly well in unlocking technologies and getting things set up.

== Plans and Schemes ==

'''Underway'''

*Building up resources for an obelisk attempt, once the Guild/Queue gets itself sorted out. Looks like Linen will be the problem there.
*Working away on the Acrobat Test whenever the opportunity presents itself.
*Mining as necessary for things I need to do. I now have mines for Rubies, Iron, Copper, Tin, Aluminum and Silver.
*Started working on breeding Beetles but have a long way to go yet.

'''Coming up soon'''

*I need a third sheep pen. Leather seems to be a heavily needed resource so it looks like I will need more pens over time. My chances of getting a camel from the wild are slim, with straw costs in the tens-of-thousands now, so sheep seem to be the only viable source.
*I want to try making a Sacrifical Bonfire myself. I have the silver bowl already made and just need to gather the resources.
*I need to learn about Cooking and the use of recipes to improve my stats.
*I desperately need to trade for lead and tungsten to finish my metalworking tools and get better chisels for limestone so I can learn Glass making. That is beginning to hold me back.
