Biography

Artinum is a perpetually confused but well-meaning avatar scratching together a decent living in the world of Ancient Egypt. He is supported in this lifestyle by the vast amount of time he spends in the role of a middle aged software packager several thousand years in the future. It's a tedious game, but it pays the bills and keeps him in onions.

When he's not tending sheep, making bricks or wondering whether cicadas are mythical, Artinum also writes novels and obeys the whims of the cat.

Based in UK, so normally on GMT (except during daylight savings). I also work a full time job, so I'm mostly evenings and weekends.

Completed Goals

Passed:

• Balance of Goods

Current Goals

Want to populate my Statue of Octet's Ghost. Only two Crystals to go!

Adding ever more colour tiles to my Funerary Temple.

I have a schooner! Sailing is surprisingly relaxing, and treasure caches are nice.

Need judges for my Thought puzzles, all NE of Sharuhen CS (Bernike):

• Pathmaker: 3042, -974
• Tomb of the Immortal: 3049, -911
• Empty Hand: 3064, -933

Also want judges for my Art projects, west of Koptos CS (Upper Egypt):

• Gliderport: 667, -1828

Tattoo Requirements

Three tattoos done! Thanks to everyone.

I'm taking a break from these tasks for now, but a fourth set of requirements will appear in due course.

Trades

I'm currently looking for Octet Crystals.

• One Bastet available for trade.
• Still to get: Dua, Wepwawet

I've set up a shop near Koptos CS selling various sundries - Artinum's Grocery Store. New stock always being considered.

Paints

For a list of paints I can make, see Artinum Paints.

Alignment and Acro

I've made minimal progress on both of these, largely because the big events usually take place when I'm not online. I am happy to try either if I'm not busy with something else.

Guilds

I am a member of Amigos, Hunting in the Darkest Night and Tattoos 4 U.

Research Goals

None of my own, but I'm always happy to pitch in where I can.
