Wow... now you people are trying to get into technical little details. I'll answer what I can, but, really, I'm no scribe...
In Arabic, there are two ways to say 'a'. There's 'a' and then 'aa' which is ah. But they're just dots above, below, or around the letter they go by. I use 'aa' sound though, which is why when I'm translating stuff from Arabic, I put an 'aa' instead of an 'a'. It looks better, ne? Kind of like adding a 'u' in favorite. Favourite. And color. Colour.
And um... Dooboro? Never heard of that, but I suppose it has to do with where you live at all... but lets see, my soul monster was Diabound, which is the closest I can come to that name. I haven't watched a whole lot of movies either, but if I see Lawrence of Arabia one at the rental place, I'll have my hikari get it for me...
Mystic Avenger, I've been around for five millennia, do you think I have the best memory about people I met in bars? Especially when I'm drunk and the like, but um, its possible I bought you a drink or something... I did do stuff like that when I was in a rather 'happy' mood.
Some of you people were wondering why after the Battle City thing why I gave the sennen eye to Yugi. Heh...well, like I said, I always try to act nice and team up with him until just the right moment, and then I backstab him, and run off with all the other items.

Clothing in Ancient Egypt wasn't quite exactly like it was on the show and in the manga. The one that really ticks alot of people off is Seto's purple and gold get-up. Really now, we did have purple linens, and we had plenty of gold we wore, but Egyptian gold is redder than, for example, Californian gold. Californian gold is yellowish.
But I'm not going to go off and rant about gold...
In the real ancient Egypt, there were lots of linens. From paper thin to delicately woven. When a dead guy was buried in his tomb, they would leave large bolts of linen cloth all over the place. They were easy to grab, and could be reused if you stole 'em and sold them on the black market as well.
Also, sometimes you'd see in the manga the pharaoh wearing what looks like shorts or puffy pants. Well... that's off. Everyone wore kilt looking skirt things. Yes. Even me.
What annoys me more than the clothing was the hair. Personally, I don't know what Takahashi was thinking when he gave everyone weird hair. In Egypt, it was common for most people to be shaved nearly bald and then to wear wigs.
I don't know why pharaoh looks like a rainbowfied porcupine, I don't know how Malik turned out blond, and I don't know how I ended up with white hair and yet not be albino.
And as I said, everyone had a past self. Joey was a warrior for the pharaoh. Did I mention he tried to kill me on several occasions? Oh well, he's an okay guy, not the shiniest apple, but hey, no one is perfect. Thanks for reviewing, anywho.

What other powers did the Sennen Ring have? Well you know I can seal souls in inanimate objects, but the ring also greatly increased my shadow powers. I can summon monsters faster than the other sennen items, and with less difficulty. And of course, the pointers on the ring will point to the nearest five items for me.
In Egypt, using my soul monster, kaa, and the sennen ring I could cover myself in darkness and become invisible and walk through solid walls. Awesome, ne? Though it was draining on my powers, it was useful. It's much easier when I'm not in any hurry just to have the pointers on the ring guide me through a labyrinth, rather than just walking through the walls. It's tiring.
If you read the Egypt Arc manga, you'll also see the ring also slightly lets me throw people around like rag dolls, but most any sennen item can do that if they tried.
In fact, all the sennen items have several things in common. Though it may not seem like it, all sennen items can trap a person's soul in a card. A card. Mine allows me to place their souls in anything, or wherever I want. All sennen items can summon monsters. Mine can summon them unusually faster, depending on if I'm angry or not. All items also double as a flashlight. ...off topic...
Speaking of built in flashlights, how about the eye on Yami Malik's forehead. How can he sleep with that on?

rules: If at first you don't succeed, try a different method. If we learn best by observing, why aren't we allowed to cheat? If you can't beat them, join them, and then back stab them and run like heck. Most geniuses are insane, to become a genius, you must become insane.

I'm working on scrounging up the old rules, um, just leave your email address in your review if you want them, alright? Though I am giving the rules at the bottom of each chapter. And basically, what I'll be sending you will more overly be a summary of what I talked about, some of them are rules, others are things to think about, others were just questions I was asked.
