I am not out of my gourd.

[Ukase]

 

So, maybe I am out of my gourd. But I'm not out of Nectanabo's Gourd. 

Who is Nectanabo? Is he/she/it a farmer? Do they grow gourds? I don't recall any CoT mission mentioning this Nectanabo. Is there a story arc I've missed out on?

It’s the new currency for 27:4.  1,000,000 gourds = 1,000 Yin’s Zucchini = 1 Mako’s Pumpkin.

And people are so testy when it comes to farming. I don't get it.

It's kind of funny reading the names of the enhancements, and imagining what characters would look like if they actually had the thing being described -- Blasters with their head covered with Benedict Tech Telescoping Eyes, Controllers staggering around under piles of Li Ten Kueh's magical crap, getting knocked back into a wall and all of their Nectanebo's Gourds bursting into a cloud of magic dust...

For some reason, a squash is not the food that comes to mind when considering Mako.

Here's a bit of a back story:

 

These people are from the Dani tribe in Irian Jaya, the Indonesian half of Papua New Guinea. Those orange "carrot tips" stemming from the bottom centre of both pictures is part of their "armour" and is made from hollowing out dried gourds. 

This is what they protect:

 

Hence to venture into battle or even into the forest/jungle "out of your gourd" is something ill-adviced among the tribe.

Nectanabo bud, you can have your gourd back...

As long as you HAVE a gourd, does it really matter whose it originally was? I mean,,, Your gourd now, right?

It's not like they are going to be sharing them....eeewww.

Do those gourds come in extra small? Asking for a friend.

Hard pass on the gourd.

 

Big fan of the curse breaker though.

There were two Egyptian pharaohs named Nectanebo who made up the 30th (and last) ruling dynasty, before outside kingdoms came in and conquered the area around 342 BC.  The in game Nectanebo may have been one of those two pharaohs, but also was one of the early great mages and teacher of magical arts.

If they were so great, especially that second mage guy, why were they the last ruling dynasty huh?  Maybe I don't want any ol' cursed gourd like that.

I suppose Nectanebo's in (or out of) the same bind as he seems to be losing his all the time. In any case, I've come across a few life hacks that may or may not work for your friend if he still can't find the right one for "his little friend":

1) Duct Tape
2) Porn
3) O Rings
4) More duct tape

Also might be good to stay away from cold places.

Maybe because Nectanebo slotted for Resist Damage instead of Resist Invasion which falls under defenses.

How does the game know it's Nectanabo's Gourd, and why is it telling you? Because it wants you to travel back to 342BC and return the Gourd. For some reason.... a reason that could change HISTORY ITSELF!111

[KC4800]

Is that Nectanebo's Gourd, or are you just happy to see me?

What if it gets stuck (on)?

Would they use the Jaws of Life?

 

 

Did Madonna have anything to do with it's design?
