... or not.  Mining's out, and the guild finally accumulated enough leather to plop down an iron mine so I spent the night playing around with it.  I appreciate that the puzzle is finally enjoyable.  Yields suck at the moment, but I'm sure that is only because it's our first furnace.

... or not. Mining's out, and the guild finally accumulated enough leather to plop down an iron mine so I spent the night playing around with it. I appreciate that the puzzle is finally enjoyable. Yields suck at the moment, but I'm sure that is only because it's our first furnace.

I hope someone figures out gems, though. Four of us worked the mine together in an attempt to crush as many of the rocks as possible and we only ever got small diamonds. As a theory, we spent about 5 minutes looking at a certain set of rocks and trying to figure out how to crush the maximum number of them. Using five people and working some sets more than others we were able to crush 6 of the 7 rocks... and got more small diamonds. Oh well.

Maybe tomorrow night is the night I'll complete my thought puzzle?

Finally decided to hunker down and try to accomplish something. Looks like the principles of thought are my target. Ran to the nearest limestone patch and chiseled the night away. I should be able to finish the puzzle during my next logon...

Stumbled around camp tonight being anything but useful. I'm much too lazy to go running around until the chariots are repaired, and as such I can only really assist with menial tasks. Grew some flax, made some rope. Gathered a ton of grass to try to attract a camel and was unsuccessful. Gathered a ton more, and finally caught our third camel (the needed male) overnight.

It seems to me that my rhythmic strength is not developing. As I type this, I'm faintly remembering some sort of cap to that skill based on the quality of scythe.

First dig of this new tale, depressing results. I'm just thankful someone had the foresight to bring grilled onions! It actually was a great turnout and everyone worked really hard, but it's hard to smile at the results when you remember the ease of digging after food and high quality shovels become available.

8/13/2010

An uneventful evening. Did my share of bricks, boards, and flax. I'm looking forward to mining (gasp!) to see how this new system works, and to start toying with all the things that metal unlocks (blacksmithing, vineyards).

Tonight was devoted entirely to the 2k dried flax required by animal husbandry. I got everything grown and rotted, but collapsed before everything was dried, leaving it in the very capable hands of my guildies. I was happy to see the next day that animal husbandry was on the timer. Thanks everyone, what's next? An achievement in my sad, sad life: Flax, grew 7,777 after only 4 days of playing.

8/9/2010

Another 2,000 boards for animal husbandry. Still no light at the end of the tunnel. The good news is I'm now officially a member of PKURFL4X again! Laissez les bon temps roulez!

8/8/2010

More work on guild construction. Goodness I hate flax. I'm thankful for the number of people that worked together on this project. Late afternoon we finally put it on timer. I spend an hour on "me time", initiating into the school of body and picking up some skills. Close out the day with 1,000 boards for animal husbandry. I love me some camels!

Once again, a fresh start! I'm looking forward to all the promise that an empty Egypt holds. Fortunately, I won't have to go it alone. Plenty of old guildmates around to start with me and I'm excited about leaving behind the life of a hermit.

The day started with the required tasks to become a citizen. Once that was completed, a home location for the guild was chosen and we started plopping down compounds, with a quick lightning zap for initiating into the school of architecture. Closed out the day with plenty of flaxing, the goal is to get guild construction unlocked as soon as possible.
