Blog Archive February 2009

• 2/28/2009 Shu went mining and found a GAZELLE! Unfortunately I don't have the safari test - so I just watched as others tagged it. She sure was pretty! Then Shu went the an acro party near the UArt in SA. Shu is still stuck on teaching facets... still only 3.

• 2/27/2009 Shu went mining today and repaired the two Copper Mines. Then iziz and Shu tried out Shu's Cliker on dirt - after the realization that there is no animation to dirt-collection - the macro worked great!

• 2/26/2009 Today was another never-ending-chore-day <hehe>.

• 2/25/2009 Shu and iziz did some more limestone and brought home some copper ore. We tested out a Clicking Macro that Shu had modified slightly. The macro worked great! I've uploaded the macro and you can find it in my Utilities Page MyUtilitiesPage. I've also linked it on the Main Macros page too.

• 2/24/2009 Today Shu fired up the Master Forges and made Pinch Rollers for all the Student Forges and fitted three of them out with Extrusion Plates. Now to get more ore so we can make some stuff <vbg>.

• 2/23/2009 Another day and some more limestone....

• 2/22/2009 WHEW! Did the Initiation of Worship with iziz and we DID IT! Woot! Woot! The double zappage was a GRRREAT! While the directions say you have 25 minutes, it really only takes about 13 minutes to complete - but boy are those 13 minutes PACKED with HIGH ANXIETY! <LOL> Well, at least its done and will be 'fun' to remember completing. The worst part is holding back on getting any skills at SArch or SArt until you get all the gear together.

• 2/21/2009 Today Shu and iziz went to the limestone pits and got a nice load of limestone. Then it was flaxing-flaxing-flaxing <vbg>. Got 300+ Rotten Flax now in the Flax House - that should last - oh I guess, about 10 Teppy Minutes <ROFL>! Got a nice load of Camel Milk from Lill at Egyptian Life. Shu's camel capturing technique is not working so good... Shu was very very stingy with the straw (prejudiced in favor of bricks) and the camels decided to skip our barn. But now we have a greenhouse and the straw is right near 10K.. lets hope the camels appreciate a change of heart <hehe>.

• 2/20/2009 Woot! I have 40 diamonds in my pockets! Thanks to the trade with Jadzi! Also picked up a 6K hookah from Spooner! There are gonna be smoke rings appearing very soon! And I got another trade from Eldar at SA Ironworks for parts for a water mine... I hate water mines - it's the WORST sound ever and it comes just as you fall asleep waiting for the thing to spit out a gem but I hope it will produce some of the gems we need.

• 2/19/2009 Shu did a lot of camp chores today: grow and process flax (the never-ending-tale-of-Egypt), lots of mining and made a new load of Carp Blades. Started a trade with Asheara for wine in exchange for empty wine bottles: wine to be delivered at a later date. And another started for 40 small diamonds - and boy are they "precious" this tale!

• 2/18/2009 Shu went mine hunting and you should have seen the one that got away! <joke> I was looking for a Tin mine and tried hunting near an area that had a bunch of mines and one was labeled Tin. Spent hours dowsing and tracing the spiral, but of course all the spots where occupied already. So I just headed back towards our existing Iron mines and plopped down 2 new ones. Seems that mines break a lot in T4 and having 2 additional mines surely will not hurt. But I don't recommend dowsing to anyone with ADD <grin>

• 2/17/2009 Today iziz and Shu built our first Greenhouse! It was nice to see the flowers growing after working so hard to get all the parts. Later Shu bought 7 Masterpiece meals from Bortox and got his +1 Per and the ability to check food before eating it! Woot Woot! Then while mining Shu got a HUGE RUBY! Plus another success with the CC Macro: 4 hearths going at the same time! Shu is in CC Heaven!

• 2/16/2009 Ohhh I love chocolate! Especially when it falls from trees! Or when it's hiding in plants - a choco-hunt! Later, Shu and iziz did a "University Run" in Saqqarah and got some new techs including those needed for wine and beer and building pyramids!

• 2/15/2009 Shu and iziz went to a dig in Adn hosted by Spicy. We got lots of good loots! Shu also built another CP next to the SKI guild hall. Not sure what I will put in it but I got the building up - Im sure something will come to mind <LOL>.

• 2/14/2009 Lots of doins today in Egypt. First, Teppy is changing something, but I'm not sure what or why. I didn't understand the chat on /ENN - but I guess whatever it is that's changing everyone will just have to row with the flow. Shu did a lot of mining today and is building up the stores of iron and copper - getting ready to make my own Pinch Rollers and Extrusion Plates. I also made another Master Forge to help in the process. Making stuff that takes 30 min each in linear mode is hard on the keester - although I do get up and do some arm waving while waiting for these long timers. On the Woot-Side of things - Shu finished making all the sheet glass needed for the Greenhouse Project!

• 2/13/2009 Shu and iziz went fishing today. Shu got a good catch but iziz got nothing <sad>. Then Shu did a lot of chores and after getting ores, collecting limestone, growing flax and herbing, Shu went to the Acro Line in SA. And guess what happened? Shu got a 4th move and a +1 DEX! Woot Woot!

• 2/11/2009 A Compression Furnace has been added to our Metal Shop! Faster and cheaper to run than the pots, it's a welcome addition to the shop floor! Shu immediately set off several batches of ore and was Hambone-ing with delight at the output! Iron Knives have been assembled and passed to iziz, Kalateth and Alexios too! And a much needed stash of nails was started too.

• 2/09/2009 Today Shu decided to conquer CC Macros. I went thru the list on the macro pages T4 Macros and selected Galagah's adaptation of Anka's CC hearth Macro from T3. Well it wasn't a pretty sight - CC erupting in flames - batches dead cold - it was ugly. After burning up lots of wood, Hikahi suggested that I measure my screen coordinates for the items needed by this macro. I have put my observations on the macro talk page Talk:Macro. But the GOOD NEWS is: I can now make Charcoal (to the extent that I have wood of course) <G>. I am grateful that someone was able to help me figure out what was wrong and equally grateful to the Macro Masters of T4!

• 2/08/2009 Shu started up the glazier's bench today and made some pipes for trading. We got a fast response for our trade offer: pipes for thermometers. So the greenhouse is getting farther along! Kalateth tried his hand at making CC in the hearths and made 2 successful batches! iziz has been gathering slate and has a nice pile already! Woot! Shu got the Principles of the Prophet completed and landed on Level 7! Shu also started working on Sheet Glass and made 17 pieces the first go-round and got skill level 6/7!

• 2/07/2009 Shu and iziz finished gathering stuff for the Brass Plates. There was a lot of clicking going on and wandering around looking for slate :) Shu and iziz opened up FreeBee House and loaded the chest with our first offerings. It may not be much but we are planning on adding to the chest as we go along.

• 2/06/2009 Shu went on a building spree and built some machines in the Flax House. Two Charcoal Hearths, four Rock Saws and a Mason's Bench have now been added. Shu did another run to the Limestone Pits and with iziz help cooked up a whole lot of dried flax and limestone. Shu then processed the ash into potash and it looks like the Sheet Glass Project is just about to take off! Shu also put in an order for some brass plates from the folks at SA Ironworks. The grand plan for wine is starting to shape up!

• 2/05/2009 Acro Acro Acro! Shu went to a nice acro party in SA and got some new facets: woot! Unfortunately it seems that everyone already has Shu's two moves :( but it was fun doing TT and SF anyway :). The Sheet-Glass Project is moving along well - Shu got a big load of limestone to process.

• 2/04/2009 Today Shu did something new: he entered a tournament held in a Conflict Shrine. There were lots of folks there and all very helpful explaining what to do. It was a lot of fun connecting the dots! Work around the atelier included flaxing for canvas, ash and linen. Making potash in our new kettles. Completing a 3d sturdy tub (getting those sheep pens cleaned out nicely) and the never ending Wood-Runs.

• 2/03/2009 Shu and iziz built our first Sturdy Tub in the MetalShop which is just a short distance from the sheep pens. The first load of Dung was added and soon the date trees will be very happy! iziz helped set up the 4 new kettles in the flax house and whipped up several batches of flower fertilizer! The little flowers are now happy too <G>. Shu gave iziz some tips on growing flax and iziz was soon flaxing to beat the band! Yeah for iziz! And Yeah for Kalateth who gave Shu the tips to begin with.

• 2/02/2009 Shu picked up an order for some kettle kits from the guys at SA Ironworks. Once they are setup all sort of good stuff will be boiled down to nothing! Lots of material gathering including 1000 clay! Thank you macro guys! Check out this page for Macros.

• 2/01/2009 Kalateth got his high quality hatchet today! Beware all trees - better leave town now while you can <lol>. Thanks to the folks at SA Ironworks for the trade! Thanks to iziz and Kalateth for the assistance in expanding the Metal Shed!
