=== Welcome to the first issue of the Meshwesh Times! ===
Tale 9 kicked off two weeks ago, and it’s been a productive time for Meshwesh. We’re keeping up with research, have several Tests open, and are busy working on advancing out of the stone-age. Current census lists 326 Meshwesh citizens.

This week we unlocked the technologies of mining and glasswork, which opens up a lot of opportunities. Folks have been dowsing for ore veins and finding iron, copper, and tin. Once we’re able to cook dowsing food, we’ll be looking for the other 11 types of ore. For now, grilled carrots give a +2 boost to Perception, which is enough to find the basics.

Five Tests are available to start. Some of them are fun and they all provide coveted Talent points. You can find Singing Cicada, Oyster Catcher, Bedouin, and Acrobat at the UBody. Hope you enjoy travel! If UArch’s Obelisk Test is more your style, consider signing up for the queue--or risk the social consequences of cutting in line. Bedouin was broken for the first week, but devs assure us that it’s now fixed.

Meshwesh just finished our first Elder elections, and Gabrielnight passed with 60% of the vote. (And I did quite respectably with 40%!) When asked what he’d like to say to Meshwesh, he responded: “The title may have changed, but the name is still the same. Family, friendship, cooperation and fun, all the important parts that makes meshwesh such a unique and wonderful place to be. MW continues to be both mine and others home here in Egypt, and I am positive it will stay that way. A great thank you to all of your support so far, I'm very much looking forward to what the future brings to us all here in MW.”

=== Other Things that Happened ===
* People have peppers! Seeds remain scarce.
* Cabbage and onion seeds have been successfully duped.
* Public mines opened near Tanis. (800 6647)

Please give me a shout (/chat Coyote in game or Discord) if you have guides, ideas for this newsletter, or events you’d like shared. For now, I leave you with an anthem for the advent of mining.

 Dissatisfaction with the flawed queue system has fueled quite a bit of discussion about alternatives. Although it’s not hard to convince people that the queue system is problematic, it’s very hard to find an alternative. There is a poll (https://atitd.wiki/tale9/Meshwesh_Obelisk_Queue/poll) to gather information on how many people are ready to embrace a new method of determining Obelisk passes.
-If Test of the Acrobat is more your speed, there is an acro line at Bernike field on Sunday (September 29) 13:00 UTC/9am EST for 12+ hours. /info Augir for details. (Chariot Routes to Bernike: Tanis -> Avaris -> Koptos -> Sharuhen.) We have it from the devs that once you’ve taught 343 facets, you can pick up 3 facets from each teacher; might be time to revisit your masters!

 Meanwhile, don’t forget that research needs more hands on deck. Blacksmithing (UArt) needs iron, copper, slay steeped canvas, clay steeped wool, and a ton of water jugs. Casting (UNP) needs iron, lead, clay steeped canvas, clay steeped wool, and heaps of beeswax. Diplomacy (Great Hall) requires bricks, canvas, rope, pulley, lime, and dried flax; that will unlock chanceries. Planning Application (Great Hall) only needs leather and dried papyrus. It will allow us to build faction compounds, though it’s a low priority compared to the others.

-Since we elected Gabrielnight as Elder, he’s been busy negotiating with leaders from Kush and Hyksos to settle borders and make plans for rogue region-claiming. The current deal with Hyksos states that our borders will remain as they are. Things seem likewise stable with Kush. The majority of Meshwesh citizens are dedicated to peaceful relations with our neighbours.

 Another responsibility of an Elder is to handle faction invites and bans. I’m happy to say that no one is under consideration for a ban, but more happy to welcome the upcoming new Meshwesh citizens Dusti, Phinter, Hirokache, and Minerva. I hope you all enjoy being Meshwesh as much as we do.

 Please remember to visit the Great Hall and vote for another Elder Election so that Gabe can get some more hands on deck. We need 50% of Meshwesh to request the election, so hop over there when you can!
