Khenemetra, a dignitary from the land of Adyrmachidae, came to visit Egypt. His barge was moored on a jetty near 975 -2993 (southern Seven Lakes). Members of his entourage - "The House of Khenemetra" - distributed bags of zircon crystals, for use in a gemcutting contest. The seven Egyptians who produced the most unique gemcuts at a "Pharaoh's gem table" were asked to choose a prize promised to be of benefit all of egypt. There were four prizes to choose from:
- A chance to see a game from far away, that has been rumoured to come to Egypt soon
- a gift of knowledge to the scholars at a university, Toxin Extraction research might help to get closer to the Gods at a lower material cost
- a chance to see something of the exotic arts that have also been rumoured to be spreading to Egypt
- the use of Adyrmachidaeian vessels, for all Egyptians, to travel a distance equal to 48 hours of travel by foot.
The prize ceremony was around 8:30PM US/Eastern on Monday. Winners:
- Inonica [26]
- Destiney [25]
- Redrac [25]
- Ashmael [24]
- assasssin [24]
- Zomboe [24]
- Ajars [23]
- DarthBobo [23]
- Sord [23]
(Note: 9 winners, due to tie for 7th place)
The winners chose "Toxin Extraction", by a majority of 8:1 - this research is now available at all universities of Thought.
[Another prize that was mentioned earlier in IRC was that the winners would choose which of the new cuts would become part of the permanent catalog. I missed the prize ceremony so was just wondering whether that is still a part of this, or did Teppy change his mind? -- Solalique]
[I was never contacted about new gem cuts. Don't we already have a couple of gem cuts that are unused at the moment? -- DarthBobo ]
