• 3/31/2009 <music> A hunting we will go ... </music> Shu and iziz are making progress on their hunting walk-about! Shu and iziz are running a fennec trap line in Meroe and Shu got his 4th rat while checking the trap line!

• 3/29/2009 Woot Woot! Shu caught 3 Rats and got his first +1 STR while doing a walk-about with iziz. iziz placed her first cicada cage and got Level 13!

• 3/28/2009 Today Shu and iziz did a lot of chores. Shu got to test out his macros and iziz got to test out the Water Mine <lol>! Shu got a big load of limestone while iziz made jugs and boards while watching for the gem drops from the Water Mine.

• 3/27/2009 Woot 4 iziz! Today Shu and iziz went bug hunting and iziz got enough bugs for her first cage! Now, she just has to find a good hiding place... <G> Shu also posted his latest macro: an Enhanced Clicker - monitors for Red and Green; has a counter and counter status message plus a click delay timer: Shu's Enhanced Clicker Macro

• 3/26/2009 Today was a major construction day - Shu built many new machines at the SKI compound! A Barrel Vice, Fleet Furnace, Glory Hole, Grain Oven, Malting Tray, Reactory, 4 new Kettles and a Water Mine were added. A BIG Thanks to iziz and Kalateth who gave their offlines to buy the specialty parts. Shu went walk-about and completed Principles of the Cicada and got Level 13. Later on, Shu got to put in a sacrifice at a Vigil and BOOM: Level 14! Whew - Shu is all tuckered out! <G>

• 3/25/2009 Swish - Shu caught an Ibis today! It was a massed foot race from the Adn CS to the U Harmony where the birds were found. Dunno how Shu made it in time to tag one of the last two birds there - but he got the feather!

• 3/24/2009 Today, Shu and iziz where busy gathering some more raw materials. We got a big load of Tar (good for ferry boats) and big load of White Sand (good for glass making). There will be enough White Sand for Shu to continue with our glass projects and enough to put some in the FreeBee Chest.

• 3/23/2009 A Gazelle! A Gazelle! Today Shu caught his first gazelle! It was a fast foot race and then "tag"! WOW! Another amazing thing happened to Shu: he won a Mining Pick at a card game! Shu went to the Yokir Tournament and was in the middle of a Rank 3 contest when the prizes where awarded (fyi: Shu won the Rank 3 game and so technically made it to Rank 4). But I won the LOTTERY and got the Mining Pick!

• 3/22/2009 Shu tried another of the mini-games: Seven Blade (using a conflict shrine) and lost his shirt - er Shu doesnt have a shirt... but all his "blades" <ROLF>. Some of the mini-games are pretty good. I never played games like these before and getting proficient will take some time. Did a big trade with Eldar of SA Ironworks and he graciously donated some items for the FreeBee Chest too! We also got a direct TY from a player for having the chest and he said that it really helped him out!

• 3/21/2009 Ring-a-ding Shu married iziz! Thanks to the generous folks at EL for the witnesses and the diamonds. iziz acroed with Lill (master) and got 26 facets!

• 3/20/2009 Woot Woot another Level! Shu completed the Art Initiation and hit Level 11 - Initiate of Seven. Shu went shroom hunting and brought home a pile of shrooms. Not only did Shu get the shrooms but he also found his 1st cicada too! Shu made enough salt to buy cooking 3 and had enough shrooms for cooking 4 too!

• 3/19/2009 Another flaxing day in Egypt! :) Making headway on the mats for some new machines! Iziz and Kalateth have generously donated their off-lines to the projects. The camels are keeping us plenty busy with straw production, so more greenhouses are on the docket too.

• 3/15/2009 Shu went to an EXCELLENT acro line in SA! It was a "teach rare moves" acro line and lots of great teachers where there. Shu got a DEX Point as well as lots of facets on some hard-to-get moves! Kudos to the organizers!

• 3/13/2009 The grass is always greener... er made into straw! <G> Been doing a hula in my grass skirt to get enough grass for the camels. I downsized the pen to 1M/3F cause they just eat and eat and eat! I wish they would go on a diet!

• 3/10/2009 RRRRHmmmmmm (the sound of a lawn mower) - Shu and iziz gathered LOTS of grass for the camels - note to self: more greenhouses are needed for these guys <grin>. Also Shu and iziz went to the limestone pit and gathered LOTS of limestone - we used our new lead chisels and mallet and gathered up LOTS!

• 3/08/2009 The grass is looking greener! A second greenhouse was built next to the camel pen. iziz gathered lots of limestone for the glass and Shu made the sheet glass. iziz finished her Thought initiation and got another level! Gratz iziz!

• 3/07/2009 Woot Woot a population explosion happened in the camel pen! We got a full compliment of camels now! iziz and Shu went to a dig and got a load of rocks. Shu tried out his new Ore Extraction Level on Iron and ... well, it is hardly worth it... trying to keep track of the previous clicks is very very hard. No wonder everyone is using macros to do it. Another milestone: Shu hit level 10 by doing 3 recognized Empty Hand Puzzles! Gotta thank the EHT Solver maker for this though as I could not figure out how to even build one! At least I have an idea about how to solve them now but they really need a user manual with LOTS of examples!

• 3/06/2009 Today Shu tried out his cooking skill. Got a recipe from the wiki for Cooking 1 with a +5 END in it. Did a bit of experimentation on how cooking works - well just a bit. Cooking is like a big black box - you don't what what you will get. Well I at least got the +5 END part! The results can be found here: MyResearchPage Shu went to another Acro Line and got 2 new moves and now has +3 DEX!

• 3/05/2009 Shu helped iziz do a skill run in SA. We had to do a last-push on the 100 garlic iziz needed for cooking 1. Big thanks to the pyramid builders for getting garlic yeilds up to 4! Shu did a round of glass making and got another set of sheet glass for the 2nd Greenhouse. Also traded for some wine - got two bottles: 1 for now and 1 for End of Tale. Never too soon to get the wine cellar going!

• 3/04/2009 Shu did a lot of chores around the camp: mining, cooking firebricks and jugs, feeding the camels (woot!). Shu finally took some time for himself got some new skills: Navigation 1, Cooking 2, Desiccation 1. Ohhhh - there was a major roll-back and I have to re-acquire my skills :( [update: got those skills again - whew!]. I did get a trade with Eldar from SA Ironworks for some heavy mallets and lead chisels! :) More limestone coming! Shu's gone walk-about to get some more skills. At the SArch got Ore Extraction 2 and Ore Extration 3 - more ore per punch! While at the SArch I got Rock of Ages: Oyster Shell ... hmmm ... might try finding a quarry! Well, my trusty iron-knife has won me access to Carving 3 from the SBody - those barrel taps gonna be made pretty fast now! Picked up Ecology 1 and Ecology 2 while there. Stopped at the UBody and got Test of the Cicadas! - ah, that lovely crackling sound! A quick jaunt down to SLead and got Project Management 2. Next stop: long trot to SThought and the sulphurous water lake (note: go to the south end of the lake for the water, as the north end where the white sand is, is just regular water now). And another FIRST for Shu: he went to a fireworks show! There was some might pretty fireworks going off!

• 3/03/2009 Today iziz and Shu gathered grass like crazy! Our 2 camels are "happy now" <g>. Shu ran the glazier's bench and made some glass pipes for trading. Shu also made some glass blades for the next level of craving, so that he can make the barrel taps for the wine barrels. Later Shu an trade with Amhur for some thermometers and on the way back stopped at the acro line in SA. And WOOT WOOT Shu got a bunch of new moves and another DEX Point! Yippee!

• 3/02/2009 Woot woot for grass macros! We finally got a camel! Not only that but somehow we got a pair on the turnaround! We are now "straw-less" but with the grass macro I think we can fix that pretty fast! My favorite grass macro is Lucasdo's Grass Macro. Some of the others are very good too but Lucasdo's seemed to run faster on my machine.

• 3/01/2009 Shu went dowsing today a got 2 new copper mines! They are right next to our existing mines too. Of course Shu ran off without all the mats and iziz had to come and rescue Shu by bringing the left-behind mats. Then Shu went to an acro party and taught his 7th facet to Numaris and got Level 9!
