Started my egyptian life in Karnak during T3, and stayed there throughout tale.



Back again for another telling! I am happy to say that I am living with some old friends, whom I love dearly. Our camp is situated in Meroe, on the twin lakes within the curve of the UART road. [[1]]

I am also an elder in Worship World. [[2]] We will strive to help you with all of your worship needs. We are running monthly VIGILS! Please join us to get your Vigil points! All donations are gratefully accepted! We will also help guide you through Worship Initiations and Pilgrimages. Stop on by, the Worship World guild is located directly East from Meroe CS. If you pass Uart, you have gone too far!

Currently, I have guided 20 couples through the Worship Initiation. If you, or anyone you know, needs help with this, please have them contact me. I will be more than happy to guide them through it.

Looking forward to Festivals!!!

Monkey Poem

Zomboe's Monkey Poem contest Winner - Thank you, Zomboe! The hatchet is wonderful!!! ~Korrin

There was a monkey with fleas,
He danced in circles and was teased.
The Otters made merry,
and the camels were harried,
and the sheep all fell to their knees.

This monkey's name was Ratchet,
and he needed some way to scratch it,
He went to Zomboe,
but he wasn't home,
so much for a trade for a hatchet!

A hatchet would scratch it,
but oh what would match it,
Would somebody take pity on him please?

Itchy and forlorn,
he headed for home,
but whom did he see in his way?
Zomboe stood there,
with a something shiny and fair,
at his feet a hatchet did lay.

"Take this", he did say,
"and forget the pay,
for you have won this day with your poem."

DP Last round before FINAL

Please do a /copy on the DP chat, and paste here. This way if anyone misses any of the conversation, they have a place to go to view it. The only thing to edit.. please take out the dang timer guy comments. We don't care what he has to say.

Demi-Pharaoh Rank 3. Candidates are: daninicholls, SunnyOne, Mharcus, Korrin

Korrin: Good Evening all!

SunnyOne: Hello everyone!!!

Korrin: oh.. and i was just about to log off for the night.... :D

SunnyOne: Nooooo

SunnyOne: heehee

Korrin: lol love you too

SunnyOne: I was at a wedding reception tonight. Great time.

SunnyOne: heeeheee

Korrin: ooo.. a 4th wedding... hubby has no excuse about forgetting that anniversary!

SunnyOne: and yes, I love you too.

SunnyOne: The location was amazing.

SunnyOne: A guys house. A full waterfall, and tiki bar.

Korrin: wonderful! sounds amazing

SunnyOne: I could live there easily

Korrin: lol.. specially with the tiki bar :P

Korrin: did they have cabana boys?

SunnyOne: Not many tiki bars in Michigan. heehee

SunnyOne: My cabana boy wasn't there. sigh

Korrin: oh that's right.. you are from mich.. me too

SunnyOne: Oh yeah. That's right

Korrin: heheh.. but living as a spy in the land of ohio

SunnyOne: ewwww

SunnyOne: heehee

Korrin: ok.. i'm off to bed... can't wait to get this going.

Korrin runs around kissing your hands and shaking your babies.

Korrin: ermmm.. flip that

SunnyOne: Sleep well sweety

SunnyOne: heehee

SunnyOne: No ocifer, I don't know who hurt that baby

SunnyOne: g'night hon

Korrin: Good Morning all!

Korrin: I would like to take this opportunity to ask for your support in going forward to Final Dp. I would love to answer your questions.

Korrin: A little synopsis of me: player of 2 tales, elder in many guilds, head elder of Worship World - organizing huge vigils and other worship tests. E! mod - which is a big responsiblity that I take very seriously. I am honored to be a mod. My main goal in egypt is to have fun, and to bring fun to everyone i meet. Even if it is just doing something silly like streakin nekkid through your backyard.

Korrin: I am a good listener, and in rl i'm a mediator, dealing with suppliers of one of the fortune 500 companies. i'm the mediator between disgruntled suppliers and our accounts payables. when people don't get their money, they are MAD, and it is my job to satisfy them and work out their issues.

Korrin: if you want someone that is quick with a ban, then i'm NOT your candidate. A ban would be a last resort for me, and I have actually seen very little that i would consider bannable.

Korrin: most bans in the past have been WANTED. Yes i say wanted... the player banned knew they would be banned, and wanted to go out with a BANG, so to speak.

Korrin: so.. i'll get off my soapbox for now.. and let others take it :D again, i'm happy to answer your questions

Korrin: *** I have logged from here up. Please see log on my user page, and add to it if you see this starting to scroll off. This way no one misses anything ***

SunnyOne: Good morning everyone!

Korrin: morning evil step-mom

Korrin: just walked my 20th couple through worship initiation... i love seeing the double zappage :D

SunnyOne: Yeah, that's fun to see

SunnyOne: And good morning my lovely step-child.

SunnyOne: Just to make it official, I also am interested in getting on the DP ballot.

Korrin kicks the timer guy

Mharcus: Hello all

Korrin: Hello Mharcus :D

SunnyOne: Hello all. How's this day treating you?

Korrin: hiya sweetheart... other than Mharcus saying hi.. it is still just you and me

Korrin: i have to go to work tomorrow, so there is no discussion for me until tomorrow night it seems

SunnyOne: Ok. I'd say that it sucks that you have to go to work but I know enough people laid off right now that I guess having a job is a blessing.

Korrin: yes. we have to take one week a month unpaid, to get our company through this... which is tough, but at least still have a job right now

SunnyOne: right

Korrin: and i get unemployment for the week off

Mharcus: I didn't use this name. I used Ryhiad in Tale 1, 2 and 3

SunnyOne: Ohhhh, ok

SunnyOne: I"ve been the same name all the tales.

Mharcus: I am well aware :)

Mharcus: Your well known ;)

SunnyOne: eeek 1 day 4 hours left in this Demi-Pharaoh round.

Mharcus: In fact I am sure you were one of the DPs last telling if I remember correctly. ?

SunnyOne: Yeah, I thought so, but I"m really horrible with names so wasn't sure.

Mharcus: I never really did anything big enough to be very well known. Biggest thing I did was create R-Trade.

Mharcus: After winning the mic from the reflection tournament.

SunnyOne: R-Trade was wonderful!

Mharcus: I thought it was a good use for the mic. Seems all the other ones (other than E!) didn't really do anything.

SunnyOne: It was, definitely

Mharcus: I heard someone continued R-Trade as a guild this telling, which is cool.

SunnyOne: and there's the Bazaar mic that is just like your R-Trade last tale.

Mharcus: Good to know. Seems active too.

SunnyOne: Yes, it is.

SunnyOne: Are you just getting into this tale?

Mharcus: I started about a month ago. I have had some big RL issues that tore me away from the end of T3 and start of T4.

Mharcus: Tale 2 and Start of Tale 3 I had a lot of spare time (was working 9-2 Mon-Friday)

SunnyOne: nice hours

Mharcus: They were. I miss them :)

SunnyOne: RIght now I LOVE my hours....

SunnyOne: I"m a teacher on summer break. No work at all. heehee

Mharcus: I was about to guess that ;)

Mharcus: My fiance has her teaching degree. She ended up working for a hospital though (lol). I have a computer programming degree and work in finance. Funny how that all works :P

SunnyOne: Yes, it is

SunnyOne: So, are you hoping to be DP or are you here just to vote?

Mharcus: Well like everyone I would like to have the chance to be on the ballot one day. If I get that chance I would appreciate it. Honestly though the DP 'test' has always been one of my favorite just to particapate in and I am glad they changed the test from becoming a DP. I will not vote for myself. My vote tend to go towards someone who is a) someone who will most likely not use the ban (unless under some odd curcumstance that requires it) and b) truly wants to move on for the experience, nore than for the 'power'

SunnyOne: Well said. :)

Mharcus: *more (not nore)

Mharcus: I read what I could of the conversation you had with Korrin. Surprised daninicholls hasen't spoken yet.

SunnyOne: Korrin and I have known each other since last tale and we met at the player meet earlier this tale.

SunnyOne: I wish daninicholls would stop in and say hi.

Mharcus: Humm... She is online I just noticed.

Mharcus: Has been for about 50 minutes.

SunnyOne: Could be Kyline playing her but who knows.

SunnyOne: brb

Mharcus: k

Korrin: ***Logged from here **** will put in my user page in a minute :)

Korrin: Hiya Mharcus and Sunny :D

Mharcus: Hello

Korrin: if you want any personal stuff removed from the log.. just let me know :D

Korrin: <--- reading and catching up

Korrin: you started R-Trade, Mharcus? wow.. that was lovely :D the other mic last tale that i like and had a lot to work with, was Festival channel... for worship tests

Mharcus: The personal stuff about 35 minutes ago you can end after (some good, some bad). Not stuff everyone needs to know :P

Korrin: that's what i thought.. that's why I said that I would remove it fi you wanted me to LD

Korrin: :D

Mharcus: Yes. I usally forget about that one because I used a guild to help with Worship tests instead.

Korrin: we have Worship World here again this tale.. if you wanna join us

Korrin: focused on vigils and pilgrimages right now

SunnyOne: Hi Korrin

Korrin: hiya evil step mom :D

SunnyOne: I's not evil.... well, not all the time. heehee

Mharcus: I might check it out. I have been moving at a slower pace it telling from previous ones. Focusing more on the social and building aspects over tests (other than body, which is always the funnest ones).

Korrin: well.. if you wann get a sac or two in on vigil, we are doing it this weekend

Mharcus: Was very happy to see Darkest Night again :)

SunnyOne: Yes, me too. It's still a very challenging but fun test.

Korrin: yes.. and they started it early this tale, which was nice

Korrin: woot! i see dad finally passed prophet :D

Mharcus: Humm... Maybe I will have to coordinate with Jeslyn and get the init done sometime this week then ;)

SunnyOne: Yes, he was surprised. Didn't even know he was close.

Korrin: i run folks through the init all the time Mharcus if you need help. just did my 20th couple yesterday.

SunnyOne: I should join worship world and get pilgrim princ finished.

Korrin: ya!

Korrin: we'd love to have you both

Korrin: i'm the only acting elder right now, so it is all on my plate, but so far so good :D

Mharcus: Jeslyn and I have done it in previous tellings. We know the run, may need some help with the items though.

Mharcus: As I think I remember diamonds being involved.

Korrin: if you need to borrow, holler

Korrin: just one small diamond needed

Mharcus: Yes, which we have. I also have a beetle and the stuff to learn a new skill ready.

Korrin: double zappage is the best :D

Mharcus: Yes. I remember in T3 near the start a group of us would try to get together on Sundays when we were waiting for passes to see a lot of zappage ;)

Korrin: **logged**

Korrin: so still no sign of Danincholls?

Mharcus: No. Is showed as online.

Mharcus: Might be their husband though on their account.

Mharcus: Their info says if they don't respond it is most likely the husband on their account and not to take offence :)

Mharcus: Did you ever end up banning anyone as DP SunnyOne?

Korrin: she banned me from her fridge, does that count?

Mharcus: lol

SunnyOne: No, not even close. There was a guild of all the DPs. We talked about each situation and made decisions together. I think while I was DP, one of the DPs did a one week ban on somebody. I never did.

Mharcus: I didn't realize you could time them.

Korrin: yes.. they are broken up into smaller bans now.. a day, a week or perm

SunnyOne: YEah, that happened later in the tale. You could ban for a day, week, or month

SunnyOne: Ok, maybe not a month. ;)

Korrin: but once one is used on a person, it can't be again

Korrin: so if a guy is baned for aday, and gets banned again, it can only be for the week or perm

Mharcus: Okay

SunnyOne: It's a great option. Good for giving a person a chance to cool down or to realize that what they are doing is not going to be tolerated without actually banning them for good.

Mharcus: I agree.

Korrin: however, it still goes agains the dp, who still only has the 7 bans

Korrin: they use one up, even if it is only a day ban

SunnyOne: Yeah, but I don't think there's been a DP that ever even came close to using all their bans up

Korrin: nope

Mharcus: Well if there is an organized group like last telling the pool should have lots available. Are they doing a guild again this telling?

Korrin: i think they better.. now that we finally have a handful of them

SunnyOne: Well, except the one that created the 7 dwarves and banned them all during amnesty one tale.

Korrin: didn't make sense to with only 2 or 3

SunnyOne: YEs, there is a guild. I checked.

Korrin: oh good. one has been started already. that is good to hear

Korrin: i'm hoping to be on the other side of the mic this round during debates <koff> ;)

SunnyOne: Astrina was in my final round before she got on the ballot and elected. She told me there was a guild.

Korrin: don't see either her or coyan on much anymore

SunnyOne: YEah, that's too bad. I liked them

Korrin: me too

Korrin: he was so much fun at the player meet

SunnyOne: Yeah, such a sweety

Korrin: it is a pita to log, but i think it is only fair for those who can't be here during conversation

SunnyOne: Yeah, it's a good idea

SunnyOne: I"m going to log for a while. I have an icky stomach and a headache. I'll be back in a while.

Korrin: ok sweety... take care 1 day 2 hours left in this Demi-Pharaoh round.

Mharcus: I think I am going to log out for a little bit as well. I will try to pop in for a bit in an hour or so and see if anyone feels like talking more. Have fun :)

Korrin: i'll be here this evening

Korrin: but won't be around tomorrow, maybe not even in time for finish of this

Korrin: tonight is it for me

Korrin: so if you have any questions... lemme know

Mharcus: I don't have any questions. I think I have already decided who I am going to vote for. Just haven't placed it yet as I would like to give danini a chance to say something before I vote. Might not happen though.

Korrin: ok. i hope she does come on tonight

Korrin: got too far in rounds to give it up without a fight

Korrin: she did i mean

Mharcus: Yes. Which is why I am surprised not to see her say anything.

Korrin: i was this far in last months dp as well.. but i put biker through instead

Mharcus: I also did some research and noticed you were on the ballot twice in T3.

Korrin: yes

Korrin: lost to some pretty awesome people though :D

Mharcus: Yes.

Korrin: i believe some of my dp answers are still out there too... i saw them a while ago

Mharcus: Being used by someone else, or someone mentioning them?

Korrin: we had to answer specific questions.. and my answers are still on old wiki

Korrin: we used to it that way, instead of live debates sometimes

Korrin: or they were used as an introduction before the live debate

Mharcus: Ahh

Korrin: if i don't make it to final, i'll be hosting the dp debates again, and I may do something similar this time

Korrin: get the generic questions out there, and their answers before the debate.

Korrin: lol.. if you hadn't shown up in here, sunny and i were going to flip a coin :P

Mharcus: lol

Korrin: she and i were hoping we wouldn't end up in same round.. but.. cest la vie

Mharcus: Well with only two individuals going to the ballot this telling, it was likely ;)

Korrin: you are right.. would have been more fun to be up against her in egypt final hehehe

Mharcus: Anyway I am going to vote.

Mharcus voted for Korrin as Demi-Pharaoh.

Korrin: wow! thank you!

Korrin: i'm honored

Mharcus: As is obvious, I have voted for Korrin. I think both SunnyOne and Korrin are amazing choices but have voted in favor of Korrin because they have not yet been a DP. As I mentioned I am a fan of the DP process and feel everyone who truly wants to be a part of it (with good intentions) should get the chance to experience all aspects of it. SunnyOne has got to have the experience already and it is my hope that Korrin may get that chance this telling. Best of luck Korrin ;)

1 day 1 hour left in this Demi-Pharaoh round.

SunnyOne: I'm back

Korrin: wb

SunnyOne: thanks

SunnyOne: I was waiting to see what Mharcus would do. I was so hoping that it wouldn't come down to one of us having to back down.

SunnyOne: I absolutely hate and disagree with his reason for voting for you. I don't think that the decision should be based on giving someone new a chance.

SunnyOne: but....

SunnyOne: I have no problem at all voting for you myself. I like you. I trust you.

SunnyOne: You'll make a great DP.

SunnyOne voted for Korrin as Demi-Pharaoh.

Korrin: omg.. that means so much to me sunny. thank you. now i'm truly honored

SunnyOne: Go get em, step-daughter

SunnyOne: and....

SunnyOne: HUGS

Korrin hugs you back, tight

Mharcus: Just to clarify. I did not vote for Korrin just to give someone new a chance. I felt you were both a good choice equally and picked Korrin so she would get to experience something you already got to (that is if she wins the ballot).

SunnyOne: No hard feelings. It's just that every time I"m in a round that reasoning comes up. It's frustrating. I don't disagree with your choice at all.

SunnyOne: Well, headache isn't gone. I think it's bed time. G'night to both of you and good luck Korrin. I will campaign for you.

1 day left in this Demi-Pharaoh round.
