My biggest perk was that for each (mysterious ;) ) shaving of black marble I possessed I got +1 CS, so theoretically, I could have a CS of like 20-30, but Id have to spend a lot of time, marble, and magic to do that.
And the shaving of black was an ingredient in a lot of my abilities



Were you the dude who stole mine :p

I actually only bought that in case I was stolen from. All my other items would have revealed me as a HoA member, so I wanted to have a cheap item to disguise that.


He probably was. I was originally the guardian of twilight and it had an ability to know a player in possession of a shaving and then allow you to steal it. Azath was originally an orphan, lowest level NP char.

I got Karosis' alignment due to a contract that wasn't bought on the bazaar so it was nice knowing someone who is not in your faction. I was selling riders helmet, spearmans shield marching orders, Keeley, metal, gemstones, and other stuff oh yeah tepans charm which was a mistake. The name that is. I had quite a lot if money there. I was always on a sacrosanct tile. Every day without having to do it myself. I followed fener around like a lapdog. Once I found out Karosis was on the northern desert tile I bought the worship and hadj'd to bring him Out in the open and make him lynch worthy. Or so that people could target him.

Since day 2 Ruse and I had a lover conversation. I knew she was Qadi yet claimed Guild if Beggars, I claimed Nepeth. I wouldn't have minded people voting Ruse but we had a lovers pact that I didn't want to break.

Oh and it was me asking for labourers. Ha

Liz makes my list. She raided me two nights in a row, which messed up my gameplan and set it bacj two days. I'd have a retainer building and a spice farm if not for her


And I would have kept raiding you, if not for the Khalif's Justice. From the stuff I got from you I was sure that you weren't Kanathe and thus a good target. You were also the first person I found to be close to me and only then I started making money from selling your stuff. The Bey title for the Road to Ishkar didn't pay off until the Hadjs came along, so I only started to become able to really do things late in the game.
I had 0 CS myself and only 4 CS from my retainers. So not very much.

I was also planning to raid Karosis, if he survived this cycle. I had an once per game ability were I took all goods and dinari form a player at any phase, but it was fairly expensive for me, and with Karo I would have been sure it wouldn't go to waste.

I would assume that most figured out that I (Atrahal) was on the HoA/Nepeth/NA alliance. But I'd be interested to know if anyone picked me for HoA specifically?



It was you talking about the bazaar all the time that made me thing that you were HoA so yeah I had you correctly pegged.

@ Tapper I haven't cleaned out the inbox for my alt yet. Do you have all the information that you need from them yet? I would like to delete everything in there for the next game.

So why didn't you put the rider's helmet back on the market? I was asking for it a couple of times and would have dropped 6K dinari on it.

on the questions about CS i started off with a base CS of 2 and 2 weapons that when put together gave me another +6. The problem was i had very little leadership so i was basically looking for items, and id drooped myself down to CS 6 to do the money gathering i was doing. My income was about to increase because it was an item that was giving me 500 for each CS i have for each phase.

Since i was the smith for the GoB i was about to start spamming the bazaar with a bunch of weapons i thought people might like.

I was using the helmet for cs, I only had about 5 or 6 through items I created. I had so many cool abilities. The best thing is that I did all my upgrades, the only one I didn't was my leadership no one sold grain and silk at high levels

If I haven't said it already - fantastic concept, great game, and I absolutely loved it. Cannot wait for the next one - but do get another mod to help you Taps, you crazy crazy man ;)


Tapper is just flat out insane. I looked at the PS conversation screen. 137 conversations.
You can't even discount the 10 PMs for the modkills; those had to be generated in the first place.
I would guess Tapper is on a magnificent bender right now. Or asleep until the middle of next week.

You did ALL your upgrades?! The only one I managed to do was unlock an extra leadership, which I needed to accommodate my retainers. I was working towards unlocking the retainer and combat modifiers, but it would have taken me another 1-2 days.


The thing about Grain was that it takes Water to make, which is a pretty precious (indispensable?) commodity. So while I had the ability to make Grain, I hardly ever bothered.

Grain was a rare thing for people to sell on the bazaar, plus I had 19 water because I was buying it all on the bazaar, I believe someone had a well or object that produced insane amounts of water for them?

I had an Oasis (+4 Water) and built a Basin (+2) on day 1, but my consumption was 2, I had a starting retainer with consumption 1 and my Djinn (which I summoned on day 3, I think) had a consumption of 4, so even with an oasis and basin I was losing water every cycle. On the second- or third-last day I managed to gather the goods to make a second basin (thank you whoever put the construction contract on the bazaar!), else I would've been in trouble.

Can I say I had no clue you were Ruse. I actually enjoyed talking to you and normally we rub each other the wrong way. I think you played a good game! You had the thread convinced you were GoB like Karosis. When you claimed GoB to me I knew you were lying but you also knew I was lying to you. I played General Toliptoth in the first game so I rummaged through and thought i'd pretend to be his son or something.
