Order of Khet Rides Again

We've re-established our T1 guild Order of Khet. Khet, of course, means fire. Which makes our guild name much cooler than, say, "Spleens of Horus".

We've gotten much better at picking guild sites. T1 found OoK stuck between a road and a tiny pond, so that over time our camp grew over onto the other side of the road, leading to exciting bonus running to get things.

Finally, the region is more accommodating. Lake of Reeds back then was unfinished – there wasn't more than a few trees together anywhere in the place. And so when the builders got around to finishing the area, they added plenty of trees, but away from existing camps. This time we have a nice 50 wood run right behind our compounds.

Nile 2K6

Here's an interesting article on modern day Egypt and the Nile in particular, written by an author on his recent travels along that river by train. Reading it helped link up some elements of the ATITD geography a little better in my mind.

The author also claims that Egypt for all intents and purposes is the Nile and adjoining land, and all the desert that the nation possesses going East and West from the Nile has little bearing on Egyptian culture. I think he just called the Tanis community a bunch of phonies. Let's kick his ass!

Insomnia!

When kept awake by bad pizza and a malfunctioning air conditioner, what better way to pass the early morning hours than by making fake bricks?

It got even sweeter when it was revealed that due to a nine-hour server rollback, Teppy is giving out about 3-4 hours worth of goods (player's choice). Bad if you were making bricks those nine hours, but great if, like me, you weren't. Now making fake bricks is easier than ever!
