General Information

Hello!

THANK YOU everyone for a great game! I will miss Tale 2, Lower Nubia, Rho's Reach, and all of you who made it such a special place. Hope my grandson will see you in Tale 3, though he will mainly be travelling in those mysterious lands known as "Real Life." (see Goals below)

• I joined Tale 2 in November 2004.
• Bhoth (formerly known as "Both, rhymes with 'moth,' not with 'oath'") lives in Lower Nubia in Rho's Reach, between the Schools of Art and Architecture, at coordinates 1135, -3618
  • My camp covers the equivalent of about 9 acres!
    • 80 coords or 1280 feet long E-W from the mini-obelisks at the entranceway--to the Octet's Ghost guarding the backyard
  • 19 coords or 304 feet wide N-S at the garden wall

• My public-stashable chest is in the guild "mailbox" row at 1043, -3608
• trade chest near LN CS at 828, -3638
• "9 of 10 sheep agree: It's just better in Lower Nubia!"

Guilds

• Elder in Rho's Reach along with Neburama, and sheree (AKA "Queen of Pyro"), as well as Xev, SunnyOne, Priel, Japto, MissAnaya, Sonny, Beccaj, and others

• Member in The Pappyland Peoples Guild
• Initiate in Nileside Lounge
• Initiate in Egyptian Takeskot League
• Initiate in TheMA
• Initiate in Karnak Conflict League
• Initiate in Games Hall
• Initiate in The Goods
• Initiate in The Forum
  • "The Forum was set up in order to provide a channel dedicated to examining the situation of Egypt's legal system, as well as debating over new and old laws, and perhaps introducing a few of our own."
• Initiate in Architecture Test Discussion Forum for the Monument Of Architecture
• Initiate in BMC for the Monument Of Body
• Initiate in the Monument Of Leadership guild

Goals

• I am mainly pursuing the disciplines of Body and Architecture, with some Art, Conflict, and Leadership.
• Helping with Rho's Reach chores and goals
• Assist with University Tech Research, especially with Lower Nubia Research Pledges
• Also helped with donations at 830, -3617 for the Pharaohs Palace that was to be built at coordinates 1135, -3938.
  • The project was abandoned after its Architect left, but at least Pharaoh did get a Summer Home.
• Voted on Monument Tests within the Endgame
• Supported the Monument Of Architecture at Prentice level
• Supported the Monument Of Body at Prentice level
• Supported the Monument Of Conflict at my Prentice level--it came very close to building :(
• Supported the Monument Of Leadership at my Student level
• wanted to support and help with the Monument Of Art build--too bad we never had one!
• submitting pictures for the Tale 2 Photo Album
• planning for Tale 3
  • had thought to primarily pursue the discipline of Body, with just a little Architecture and Art, and some more Leadership, as well as checking out Harmony, and participating in the remnants of Conflict
  • had thought to mainly do more with gardening-related projects
  • unfortunately RL demands now mean that I will actually be minimally involved in T3--and I'm not sure if the new level system will allow the casual player access to higher-level botanical functions :(
  • still hope to at least start up a new guild for people interested in seeds, bulbs, and related issues, called the Egyptian Botanical Society
