Test of Seven Phoenix

English	Deutsch	français	magyar	Türkçe

University Text

The Test of Seven Phoenix will challenge your skills as a contractor, not a laborer. When the Hour of the Phoenix arrives, you'll be given a number of glorious Phoenix statues that you must ensure get built at specific Phoenix parks throughout Egypt. Complete all seven within a (game) hour for maximum score. If you waypoint travel during an Hour, you will be disqualified from that hour. No Egyptian may build more than a single statue in a given hour, and no Egyptian who has traveled during the hour may build. A minimum score of 21 is required to have the possibility of advancement.

Overview

The Test of Seven Phoenix is the ninth test in the discipline of Architecture. It is about organizing and supplying a team to build for you within a short period of time.

• When the Hour of the Phoenix arrives, check a School of Architecture to receive a list of seven Phoenix Stadiums around *Egypt, and the type of Phoenix statue that must be built at each.
• The list of parks will be the same for each architect during that hour (shown to everyone by clicking on the calendar), but the statue type will be random.
• The Hour of the Phoenix lasts for one hour of TeppyTime (3 Egypt-hours or just over 1 RL hour).

Passing the Principle

If you're just going after the principle, you only need a partner and the materials. Build a statue for them and have them build one for you and you're done.

If players are going to build FOR you they have to build on YOUR location list!
If you are going to build for ANOTHER PLAYER you have to build on THEIR location list!

Rules

• No Egyptian may build more than a single statue in a given hour. If you want points for more than one statue, you'll have to get other people to build each additional statue and give them to you (similar to the Test of Towers). If you try to build a second phoenix with the same builder, you will get a message and the materials will be dropped on the ground.

• Once the hour starts, if you use waypoint, chariot or expedition travel before building, you will be unable to build a statue during that Hour (for yourself or anyone else). Any statue that has already been built will still count. Spousewarp is allowed at anytime during the hour. If the named recipient uses waypoint, chariot or expedition travel during the whole hour, then they will score 0 points.

• An architect can build a statue for themselves, and is routinely done (you are able to run half the map in the hour with good food)

• If ownership of a statue is passed to someone who has traveled, that person may transfer ownership to someone else without invalidating the points. In other words, only the original builder and the final recipient need not to have traveled. Note that this is only likely to be useful in the event of typing the wrong name (e.g. the delivery person instead of the intended recipient), as different architects all likely require different phoenix types in each stadium.

• Travelling to/from the Spirit Arena is allowed.

• At the end of a Hour of the Phoenix, all Phoenix built burn to nothing (Phoenix are fleeting).

• Only one type of bird is allowed per location. Extra birds of the same type will give zero credit.

eg building 2 Phoenix of X at a designated park, only 1 will get credit.

Self/Test/Seven Phoenix Status Message:

Phoenix X at Park Credited

Phoenix X at Park Already got credit for this park

Strategy

This Test is best passed by a team.

• Collect resources for at least 1 set of all 7 phoenix.
• Organize a group of people to take positions around Egypt before the hour begins.
• Station yourself at a SArch just before the hour begins.
• When the hour begins, check the list and locate the stadiums within 1 hour's run of your team.
• Designate some as builders and some as materials delivery once you know who is close enough to build.
• If your builders don't have enough natural carry to take a kit to a stadium, have someone run with them, drop a waypoint, then nav materials to them.
• Do not use any chariots or expedition/navigation time yourself or you will gain no points.
• Since the score you get is based on the number of Phoenix built in your name in the hour, it may be worth aborting an attempt if you cannot build several.
• Phoenix Parks

Scoring

At the end of the Hour of the Phoenix, you will receive n^2 points, where n is the number of statues built. This means 1 point for a single Phoenix, 4 for two, etc up to a max of 7 Phoenix.

Number of Phoenix	Points scored
1	1
2	4
3	9
4	16
5	25
6	36
7	49

Passing the Test

The three Architects with the highest number of points will pass the test each week.
