Here's a guide to some Arabic words/phrases and on cultural references
This will be added to when I have more time
Insha Allah(IN-SHA-LA):It means "God willing" or "If God wills it" is said repeatedly throughout Arab conversations for future events-Feeling whatever happens is God's will.
Fakkah(FUK-KA):It means a small amount of money and it's said by children and beggars(equivalent to "spare some change?" said in the west).They will often approach you in places that are frequented by tourists,washing windshields in heavy traffic,etc..Be prepared.
Imshi(IM-SHEE)Literally means "take a walk" and is used when you've been bothered enough with somebody who wants fakkah.It should work,Insha Allah. _________________ “If you love life, don’t waste time, for time is what life is made up of.”

I'm going to post the new rules now to give everyone a chance to ask me any questions about them before the new game starts.
1) Everyone (except Tearlach) will post by the list order (If need be I may be able to make adjustments to the list; just ask if you have a problem with it). I will make 2 new lists once we break into teams that will be even more detailed and specific to each team.
2) There will be a time limit for posting (max 24 hours then the turn is forfeit). To be more specific what this one means here is an example: Tearlach makes his post at 8:30 PM and I am next on the list. I have until 8:30PM the next day to make my post and if I don’t it just goes to the next person on the list. Once either I make my post or the time runs out the clock starts over for the next person.
3) no one may take someone's turn for them or move someone else's character involuntarily (no playing puppet master)
4) 3 strike violation policy and then removal from the game upon the forth
5) Anyone can pass up their turn whenever they want I just ask that they be kind enough to post that they’re not taking their turn so we don’t have to wait 24 hours for the next post (this isn't so much a rule as it is a request)
**There can be exceptions to any of the rules as long as you ask and ect...** _________________ Story

Tearlach what do you say about me opening a new Q&A thread once the game starts because this one is getting congested.
And I never asked but are you ok with me taking over most of the administration stuff involving the game? Sorry I just kinda started doing it without asking. I could stop or continue being your assistant, whichever you prefer. _________________ Story

I regretfully say that I had to remove Feingo Ferinton due to inactivity. Both Tearlach and myself agreed to remove him once it was brought to our attention. We posted a warning that we would remove him from the game if he didn't post, well that was a few days ago and I have yet to hear from him. _________________ Story

No, no not at all. I knew it was going to give a wrong impression.
We understand that people have times of not being able to post and are perfectly ok with it (especially if they are actively involved in the game). We pulled him because the only time we heard anything from him was one post back on Thu Apr 30, 2009 and nothing after that.
If you have to go away at any time please just let us know and everything will be perfect. _________________ Story

Well Symphony, I don't see any problems with it (If anyone else does please let me know). I just have to ask a few things of you first. (I hope that is ok)
first: I assume that you understand the plot of the story and what is going on. (If not I can fill you in so you don't have to go looking for it). So if you could please tell me a little about the character that you will be playing I can add you in. _________________ Story

Cool, thanks.
And yes, you are very welcome to fill me in on the plot and how it's going to work with the two teams. I've been reading up on it, but I wouldn't mind another explanation to make sure that I've understood it.
As for my own participation, I'd like to use my own fursona. I don't really have any other ideas at the moment, so I was thinking of simply using her as she is, and have her be a famous opera singer and wealthy benefactor, who enjoys travelling and learning about new places and cultures.
She's not much of a fighter or adventurer, so what she'll be able to contribute is mostly her money, her social skills, and perhaps make use of the many connections she has made while travelling the world.
Should I elaborate further or arrange the information differently? _________________ Constance Mayflower's bio

That information is all I need (Tearlach may need more but I'm sure he'll ask you if he does).
There is a lot to cover and you said that you read up on it so to avoid confusing you can you ask me any/all of your questions and I'll answer them to the best of my ability (and be very detailed for you).
Like you asked about the teams.
After the opening of the story (the ball) once all of our characters have a chance to meet the group will break into two expeditions/teams competing to find the tomb first. There is a very complex yet simple way that the teams will be decided, but we won't know the teams until after the ball.
I have made a list showing who everyone is and ect. well once the teams are made I am going to re make the lists (one for each team. Again to simplify it).
Now each character is free to leave a team and/or attempt to join the other whenever they want.

Thanks for the explanation. I think I understand it. I'll look forward to seeing which team I'll end up on.

No problem at all. (Shadow laughs and bows to lady Symphony, "welcome to the game madam.)
I'll bring you up later in the list.
I hope you enjoy your night. _________________ Story

Sorry I have been busy myself.
I am only too glad to have you take the administrative duties off my hands. Please don't think of your self as my assistant rather a partner (in crime) in this venture. Ithought I could handle both sides but of course it has grown out of any concevable idea I may have had.
Please help make this game all it can be and perhaps bring a little excitement and aventure in to this world. _________________ Terminus: http://forums.pleasurebonbon.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=239198#239198

I agree this was set up for the original game(now defunked) and it would clarifiy things greatly. _________________ Terminus: http://forums.pleasurebonbon.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=239198#239198

The original story line was to find the tomb of Tutankhamun, with only a few players this would have be enough. However with two teams of about eight players strong I think something on a larger scale will be needed. So as in the 1990 film the Mummy, The expeditions will be in search of a 'Lost' city. Amenophis IV- Akhenaten was know as the heretic
King forsaking all the other gods for one, the Aten or Sun disk. He also caused a new capital to be built called Akhetaten-City of the sun disk.
This was abandonded when he died and his resting place has never been found.
Hidden treasures and mummies shall abound. _________________ Terminus: http://forums.pleasurebonbon.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=239198#239198

I apologize for saying this now but due to current events happening in Pakistan, my job has put up an elevated threat level and this means I won't be here until Tuesday of this upcoming week(the 12th).I'll try to bring my laptop so I can participate but I can't guarantee anything now.I ended up with a slight break I get to leave today(Saturday)but I still don't come back until Tuesday. _________________ “If you love life, don’t waste time, for time is what life is made up of.”
