(06/06 13:04:56) IwonK: In other wonky news, I’ve made some games of my own as a gamedev challenge, if you want to check them out, follow this link: iwonk.itch.io (I’m still making ’em!)
(06/06 13:04:59) Claidi Song: Good luck
(06/06 13:05:08) IwonK: In other other wonky news, as I said last month, folks from Mysterium discord and I have this idea of organizing a Mysterium-like online event 🙂
(06/06 13:05:17) IwonK: Its work title is “Rivenium”, we are currently brainstorming ideas for the events and we are looking for people that would like to give some presentations or panels during the event 🙂
(06/06 13:05:26) IwonK: If you want to help, let us know 😀
(06/06 13:05:35) IwonK: For more details, ask me or Kefrith from Mysterium discord where we have a forum for the whole thing 😀
(06/06 13:05:40) IwonK: any Qs in the Q?
(06/06 13:05:45) IwonK: because I’ve got some As 😀
(06/06 13:05:50) PodHopper: No questions in the queue.
(06/06 13:05:53) IwonK bows
(06/06 13:05:56) PodHopper: Thank you, IwonK!

(06/06 13:06:29) shokhootahn Rehn: clap
(06/06 13:06:37) Prad: It gotten a bit quiet around the Rivenium but maybe that might change someday …
(06/06 13:06:39) Ereshkigal: I still need to make my presentation for Rivenium :0
(06/06 13:07:06) Ereshkigal: Hi everyone! We are here together in an ancient city, older than any city built by us. But can you feel the years? Can you feel how different that ancient world was? And would you like to experience it?
(06/06 13:07:07) IwonK: we haven’t set the date yet so don’t worry 😉
(06/06 13:07:17) Ereshkigal: Then join me at Ancient Stories every Saturday! We gather in Chiso Preniv at 15.00 KI. Tonight I won’t have a story, but next week I will!
(06/06 13:07:29) Ereshkigal: These weeks, we are reading the story of Nefertiti!
(06/06 13:07:47) Ereshkigal: The most beautiful woman in the world, and one of the most fearsome, and most famous queen of Ancient Egypt!
(06/06 13:08:12) Ereshkigal: Her sister, Mutnodjmet, tells the story of what it was like growing up next to her, and what happened in the tragic events of her life…
(06/06 13:08:24) Ereshkigal: So if you’re curious, come join me next week in Chiso!
(06/06 13:08:35) Ereshkigal: Any questions?

(06/06 13:09:57) PodHopper: She will try to be present as well, but that will depend on the availability of internet at her destination.

(06/06 13:11:20) PodHopper: ~~~ Cavern Book Club ~~~
(06/06 13:11:24) PodHopper beckons you
(06/06 13:11:24) PodHopper: Welcome to the platform, Augur
(06/06 13:11:43) Augur: Shorah, everyone!
(06/06 13:11:52) Augur: After taking a brief hiatus in May, the Cavern Book Club will resume July 18th at 12:30 KIT in the Eder Delin of Nezetahn’s Hood.
(06/06 13:11:55) shokhootahn Ana waves hello
(06/06 13:12:11) Augur: With that hiatus, we decided to do something a little different for this next one–we’re reading three novellas!
(06/06 13:12:28) Augur: While we’ll discuss them all, folks are welcome to just read what grabs their interest. Each is between 60 and 160 pages, so a lot more approachable if you’re dipping your toes back into reading!
(06/06 13:13:01) Augur: The three novellas are:
(06/06 13:13:14) Dreamer3: drum roll
(06/06 13:13:15) Augur: “The Emperor’s Soul” by Brandon Sanderson, a standalone novella set in the same world as his debut novel “Elantris”. (Thank you Cid, for the recommendation!)
(06/06 13:13:37) Augur: “Story of Your Life” by Ted Chiang, a science fiction story about aliens, language, time, family, and the inspiration for the movie ‘Arrival’.
(06/06 13:14:00) Augur: “The Lies of the Ajungo” by Moses Ose Utomi, an allegorical tale inspired by African folklore about a young boy’s quest to save his mother, even if it costs him his life.
(06/06 13:14:28) Augur: As always, everyone is welcome to join regardless of if you come regularly and the list will be posted in the Discord channel(s).
(06/06 13:14:39) Augur: If you need any help finding the novellas or have recommendations for future books, please reach out to me!
(06/06 13:14:40) Ereshkigal: The Emperor’s Soul sounds interesting! I’ve heard about that one
(06/06 13:14:57) Dreamer3: Story of Your LIfe is excellent.
(06/06 13:15:04) Augur: I think so too, Eresh! 🙂
(06/06 13:15:12) Augur: Any questions?
(06/06 13:15:23) PodHopper: No questions in the queue.
(06/06 13:15:33) Augur: See you there!
(06/06 13:15:36) PodHopper: Thank you, Augur!
(06/06 13:15:55) PodHopper: ~~~ Ayoheek Night ~~~
(06/06 13:15:59) PodHopper beckons you
(06/06 13:15:59) PodHopper: Come on up, Brooketh
(06/06 13:16:08) Mevvah: yay ahyoheek!
(06/06 13:16:10) Ereshkigal: cap
(06/06 13:16:20) Brooketh: Shorah!
(06/06 13:16:30) shokhootahn Ana waves hello
(06/06 13:16:31) Brooketh: The Competitive Myst Online group cordially invites all cavern dwellers to our weekly social Ahyoheek game night, every Saturday at 21 KI in the Competitive Myst Online Hood. Ahyoheek is a D’ni game very similar to Paper-Rock-Scissors.
(06/06 13:16:43) Brooketh: We are a friendly club of Ahyoheek enthusiasts, far less “competitive” than our name would imply. We aim for a relaxed, casual hour of playing and conversation that is fun for all. We welcome you regardless of skill level. If you don’t know how to play, we can quickly teach you; or you may simply wish to hang out and observe.
(06/06 13:16:56) Brooketh: We use a combination of voice and text chat. You don’t need to use a mic, but you should at least have sound enabled so you can hear us.
(06/06 13:17:07) Brooketh: We do hope to see you there!
(06/06 13:17:15) Brooketh: Any questions?
(06/06 13:17:24) Mevvah: spectators are welcome
(06/06 13:17:24) PodHopper: No questions in the queue.

(06/06 13:17:31) PodHopper: Thank you, Brooketh!
(06/06 13:17:50) PodHopper: ~~~ Guild of Messengers website ~~~
(06/06 13:17:54) PodHopper beckons you
(06/06 13:17:54) PodHopper: Come on up, Korov’ev
(06/06 13:18:11) Prad: On TOC shard we’ve had the first person reaching rank 2 since I hosted that parallel event there …
(06/06 13:18:18) Korov’ev waves hello
(06/06 13:18:18) Korov’ev: Shorah everyone!
(06/06 13:18:24) shokhootahn Ana waves hello
(06/06 13:18:29) Korov’ev: This month I’ll skip talking about the Age Expeditions, because – once again – we have to address the loss of the Guild of Messengers website.
(06/06 13:18:41) *Jodok*: oooohhhhh
(06/06 13:18:44) Korov’ev: I’d give it some more time, since last year it was ultimately fixed, but I’m starting to worry this time it’s permanent.
(06/06 13:18:49) shokhootahn Ana: Ooooh nooooooo!
(06/06 13:19:04) Korov’ev: guildofmessengers.net or .info should be available, and Swifthawk offered server space, so there are some options on the table.
(06/06 13:19:13) Korov’ev: First however, I’d like to address a few practical issues:
(06/06 13:19:25) Korov’ev: 1. Calendar – the actual calendar is based on Google, so the public link is still valid. A while ago I made a short URL version:
(06/06 13:19:38) Korov’ev: https://bit.ly/GoMe_cal – there are also a few localised versions, just append “_ce“, “_uk“, “_ru” or “_jp“
(06/06 13:20:27) Korov’ev: The actual link is soooo long, but I can pass it on if you don’t like bit.ly 😉
(06/06 13:20:35) Korov’ev: There’s also the problem that I’m unable to extend editing access to other people, at some point it may be better to move to a new calendar.
(06/06 13:20:44) Korov’ev: I don’t plan to abandon it anytime soon, though, so don’t worry about that 🙂
(06/06 13:21:00) IwonK ‘s worry mode :off
(06/06 13:21:06) Korov’ev: 2. Chatlogs – I save all the raw and cleansed chatlogs since 2016 (and a few from before that) in a public Dropbox folder: https://bit.ly/AGM_logs
(06/06 13:21:06) PodHopper: 🙂
(06/06 13:21:16) uru348: Use is.gd, Korov’ev
(06/06 13:21:31) Korov’ev: An alternative could be saving them in a wiki, or e.g. in the Beneath forums, along with the Town Hall ones.
(06/06 13:21:48) Korov’ev: 3. Tutorials – there were a few tutorials about troubleshooting client errors, and installing MOUL & shards on MacOS and Linux;
(06/06 13:21:56) Korov’ev: I’ve already copied them to the Writers wiki: https://guildofwriters.org/wiki/Tutorials#Uru
(06/06 13:22:07) Korov’ev: If you’re on MacOS or Linux please give it a look, I’m a bit behind the latest developments so they’re likely a bit outdated.
(06/06 13:22:23) Korov’ev: 4. Rel.to (the Myst-specific URL shortening website) – admin login depended on the GoMe website, and I think it already had issues with the latest version.
(06/06 13:22:45) Korov’ev: So editing is locked afaik. If anything, the website is still accessible. Sadly many links are dead by now.
(06/06 13:22:58) Korov’ev: I sound like a broken record, but perhaps copying the still working ones on a limited access wiki page could be worth it?
(06/06 13:23:20) *Jodok*: absolutely
(06/06 13:23:27) Korov’ev: 5. AGM summaries, new Age announcements, i.e. the meat of the website – these are the most uncertain at the moment.
(06/06 13:23:40) Korov’ev: Last time we had this problem, I posted the summary in the r/Myst subreddit, where at least it’s accessible and easy to find.
(06/06 13:23:54) Korov’ev: As an alternative, I could post them e.g. in the Beneath forums.
(06/06 13:24:00) Korov’ev: By the way, apparently the Archivists forums are closed.
(06/06 13:24:14) Korov’ev: Admittedly, in the last few years activity was down to little more than AGM summaries – in part because for a long time I didn’t realise it wasn’t possible to register new accounts >.>
(06/06 13:24:25) Korov’ev: However, recently there were some ideas to get more frequent posts, so I’m not ready to give up on the website yet.
(06/06 13:24:45) Korov’ev: So that’s all I got for now. Questions?
(06/06 13:24:55) Calum Traveler: not a q, but some insight
(06/06 13:24:56) PodHopper: I have one
(06/06 13:25:01) PodHopper: rarified: are the domains changable or are they locked away?
(06/06 13:25:05) Korov’ev: Or insights 🙂
(06/06 13:25:11) Prad: That sounds like a lots of re-organization …
(06/06 13:25:35) Prad: … but what ever happened in the end, have to deal with it, i assume …
(06/06 13:25:47) Korov’ev: I don’t know about that
(06/06 13:26:08) rarified: If you can get the domains, I can host but too busy to administer.
(06/06 13:26:14) Korov’ev: Access to Wordress is unavailable, and I don’t have access to the server backend
(06/06 13:26:52) Calum Traveler: thats unfortunate,
(06/06 13:27:19) Korov’ev: yeah, not much I can do from my side 🙁
(06/06 13:27:20) Calum Traveler: given it sounds like there’s an administration lockout on the old calendar, making things over from fresh, while annoying, might be for the best.
(06/06 13:27:41) Calum Traveler: if you have site backups from the old version, it might not be a total loss,
(06/06 13:27:44) Ereshkigal: I’d love to help preserve that old website. So much online culture is lost. I’ve never done hosting or web design or anything, though
(06/06 13:27:50) rarified: Well the domain registrations have to expire sometime.
(06/06 13:27:54) Korov’ev: I have access to the calendar, but I can’t extend it to others if needed
(06/06 13:28:03) Mevvah: my only question is why is all this happening? but that sounds stupid
(06/06 13:28:16) Calum Traveler: because the old server admin/site owner is gone, i suspect.
(06/06 13:28:27) Korov’ev: yeah, likely that
(06/06 13:28:33) Mevvah: oh wow. even through WordPress?
(06/06 13:28:47) Calum Traveler: if the site was being paid for by him, on wordpress’ end,
(06/06 13:28:56) Calum Traveler: it doesnt matter who else was using it,
(06/06 13:28:56) Mevvah: ah
(06/06 13:29:36) Korov’ev: indeed, it’s not just a configuration issue
(06/06 13:30:09) Korov’ev: Well, I guess for now, it’s time to go back to my seat 🙂
(06/06 13:30:18) Calum Traveler: kor, one last thing?
(06/06 13:30:22) PodHopper: Thank you, Korov’ev!
(06/06 13:30:22) Korov’ev: yes?
(06/06 13:30:23) Calum Traveler: if the site does restore itself somehow,
(06/06 13:30:34) Calum Traveler: *definitely* see about migrating everything you can to a new account
(06/06 13:30:55) Korov’ev: I do have a recent backup
(06/06 13:30:57) Calum Traveler: thats all i can suggest.
(06/06 13:30:58) Adi: and share that account and backupst
(06/06 13:30:58) Korov’ev bows
(06/06 13:31:11) Mevvah: good idea Calum
(06/06 13:31:24) uru348: And remember is.gd @Korov’ev
(06/06 13:31:24) PodHopper: ~~~ Upcoming Events ~~~
(06/06 13:31:35) Claidi Song: Thank you, Kor!
(06/06 13:31:43) PodHopper: For the coming months I have two events planned: Celtic Night and Summerfestival.
(06/06 13:31:52) PodHopper: For both events I haven’t had time to even begin preparations due to that pesky RL…
(06/06 13:32:01) PodHopper: Still, I want both events to happen anyway and for Summerfestival I still have 2 months to prepare.
(06/06 13:32:09) PodHopper: So, coming month will have to be a creative one for me.
(06/06 13:32:22) PodHopper: Celtic Night could probably happen late june or early july, I will pick a date when I have started preparing for that.
(06/06 13:32:37) PodHopper: For Summerfest I will have to come up with a theme yet,
(06/06 13:32:46) PodHopper: Although I’m not completely empty in regard to ideas, I haven’t worked out any idea yet.
(06/06 13:32:57) PodHopper: One of my thoughts is about the theme “You are You”, which would bring in the social aspect of Moula, for one.
(06/06 13:33:07) PodHopper: And in all likelihood Summerfest will have two or three central themes as it had previous year.
(06/06 13:33:23) PodHopper: As ideas are forming in the coming weeks, people who have ideas of their own are welcome to contact me.
(06/06 13:33:42) PodHopper: Questions?
(06/06 13:33:45) Prad: comic weeks?
(06/06 13:33:56) Prad: oops misread, sorry …
(06/06 13:34:05) PodHopper: np 🙂
(06/06 13:34:11) IwonK: I like that 😉
(06/06 13:34:17) PodHopper bows
(06/06 13:34:18) Ereshkigal: Well, a Moula comic would be an idea, Prad 🙂
(06/06 13:34:30) *Jodok*: 1st of August is TOC moula 15th anniversary LOL
(06/06 13:34:33) Ereshkigal: I’ll think about ideas! The themes sound nice!
(06/06 13:34:40) IwonK looks at her stylus nervously
(06/06 13:35:20) PodHopper: Well, I’m open for another week in August as Mysterium has a way of getting right before or after it
(06/06 13:35:38) *Jodok*: a summer full of events so cool

(06/06 13:39:39) Augur bows
(06/06 13:40:04) shokhootahn Rehn: shokhootahn Ana completed her first foray into mentoring a new student teacher. Since shokhootahn Ana was Augur’s instructor through the 201 class, she mentored him as he taught Mevvah. Please give a warm round of applause to Ana!

(06/06 13:41:35) Mevvah: thank you
(06/06 13:42:05) shokhootahn Rehn: Are there any questions?
(06/06 13:42:13) PodHopper: No questions in the queue.
(06/06 13:42:15) IwonK: what was the meaning of life again?
(06/06 13:42:19) IwonK: 67?
(06/06 13:42:23) shokhootahn Rehn: 42
(06/06 13:42:24) *Jodok*: 42
(06/06 13:42:24) rarified: 24
(06/06 13:42:25) IwonK: oh 😀
(06/06 13:42:33) Mevvah: my kids would think so , Iwonk
(06/06 13:42:33) caver1: 42
(06/06 13:42:33) *Jodok* starts to laugh
(06/06 13:42:37) shokhootahn Rehn: Moving on…
(06/06 13:42:41) Prad: 55
(06/06 13:42:44) shokhootahn Rehn: The second announcement is about r’Taytahn’s Story Night.
(06/06 13:43:57) shokhootahn Rehn: Today, we will tell the fourth story of five (#90 of 104) from the game, Myst IV: Revelation.
(06/06 13:44:14) shokhootahn Rehn: Eventually, we cover all of the books and games, as well as the three human attempts at restoration.
(06/06 13:44:27) shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night covers the entire 10,000-year history of the D’ni plus all of the books and games, as well as the three human attempts at the restoration of D’ni!
(06/06 13:44:48) shokhootahn Rehn: I am recording Story Night for (eventual) upload to my YouTube channel (rTayrtahn). I have created an avatar for the purpose of recording. His name is “I’m a bot, do not message”. Please do not PM him during the story unless you want to see your message displayed for the entire internet. 😉 Also, please do NOT add him as a buddy. He has no special abilities and is there only to record Story Night.
(06/06 13:44:53) Slingbelly: wow!
(06/06 13:45:28) shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night is held in the public neighborhood of Tsahno’s Hood every Saturday.
(06/06 13:45:38) shokhootahn Rehn: Original Story Night is held at 23:30 KI time on Saturday night. We start gathering at the hood’s fountain starting at 23:00 KI time.
(06/06 13:45:53) shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night – Europe is held at 14:00 KI time on Saturday afternoon. We start gathering at the hood’s fountain starting at 13:30 KI time except for AGM Saturdays, when it starts at 14:30 KI or 30 minutes after the AGM, whichever is later.
(06/06 13:46:15) shokhootahn Rehn: Lately, it’s been starting at 14:30 on AGM Saturdays. 🙂
(06/06 13:46:27) shokhootahn Rehn: I also post changes on the left-hand imager in the hood.
(06/06 13:46:40) shokhootahn Rehn: (last-minute cancelations, etc.)
(06/06 13:46:55) shokhootahn Rehn: Should I need to cancel one of the stories at the last minute, I will try to aprise one or two of my regular audience members of the situation so they can spread the news. 🙂
(06/06 13:47:09) shokhootahn Rehn: Minasunda is one of those members, as she runs the announcements channel on Discord.
(06/06 13:47:15) shokhootahn Rehn: The stories are told using voice so you will need to have your speakers or headsets on.
(06/06 13:47:26) shokhootahn Rehn: r’Tayrtahn announces the start of Story Night through buddy chat. If you would like to receive the announcements, please send r’T a KI mail (with your KI number included in the text) and he’ll add you to his buddies list. His KI number is 58324. KI mails do not identify the KI number of the sender. Though the sender is added to the Recents folder, it is still a good idea to add it to the body of the text. 🙂
(06/06 13:47:47) shokhootahn Rehn: We hope to see you there!
(06/06 13:47:52) shokhootahn Rehn: Any questions?
(06/06 13:48:01) PodHopper: No questions in the queue.
(06/06 13:48:06) shokhootahn Rehn bows
(06/06 13:48:07) PodHopper: Thank you, shokhootahn Rehn!
(06/06 13:48:31) PodHopper: ~~~ Mysterium & Cavern News ~~~
(06/06 13:48:33) Prad: for the Cavern choir there was an idea floating to record a 4th song and make it a sumnmer concert instead of a spring concert – but I’d want to wait ’til Babbeltje returns from her voyage … I’ve had some delays in mixing anyway due to RL issues …
(06/06 13:48:38) PodHopper beckons you
(06/06 13:48:38) PodHopper: Come on up, Calum
(06/06 13:48:43) Calum Traveler waves hello
(06/06 13:48:48) Calum Traveler: so
(06/06 13:48:53) Calum Traveler: got a load of stuff to talk about
(06/06 13:49:01) Calum Traveler: first off your friendly reminder

(06/06 13:49:31) Calum Traveler: AND
(06/06 13:50:07) Calum Traveler: i am pleased to relay to you the awesome news that Cyan’s State of presentation will be hosted in person
(06/06 13:50:24) Calum Traveler: by Hannah Gamiel and Eric A. Anderson!
(06/06 13:50:37) Mevvah claps jealously
(06/06 13:50:42) Calum Traveler: https://mysterium.net/schedule/
(06/06 13:50:50) Calum Traveler: go check out the schedule page for more info!
(06/06 13:50:56) Calum Traveler: additionally, if you look
(06/06 13:51:11) Calum Traveler: youll see there’s a panel on there, Saturday at the moment, for some talk about Descent
(06/06 13:51:26) Calum Traveler: Murry will be moderating, while Tweek, Ametist, and I will be remoting in to talk about our work on Descent
(06/06 13:51:40) Calum Traveler: more on that *then* i suspect. 🙂
(06/06 13:51:42) Thumbs up from Prad
(06/06 13:51:44) Calum Traveler: in the mean time,
(06/06 13:51:56) Calum Traveler: SEVERAL things have been pushed finally from Alpha testing to Prime,
(06/06 13:52:17) Calum Traveler: im hoping to squeeze one more little thing in there, but depending on chogon’s schedule
(06/06 13:52:22) Calum Traveler: it may have to be foregone,
(06/06 13:52:39) Calum Traveler: on the docket this time around ARE:
(06/06 13:52:54) ShilohOBrien sits up
(06/06 13:52:57) Calum Traveler: A new desk and some decoration updates to Chiso Preniv.
(06/06 13:53:19) Calum Traveler: my “V2” Release of Guild of Messenger’s Pub, or what I’ve come to call the “Tavern” update
(06/06 13:53:45) Calum Traveler: this, like my Chiso Preniv rebuild, is a recreation based on imports, and old blend files
(06/06 13:54:16) Calum Traveler: it’s a little bit of a frankenstien effort, but I believe ive managed to sand down some of the odder collision issues 🙂
(06/06 13:54:41) Calum Traveler: hopefully, those efforts will be rewarded in performance values for folks who have had issues being in the pub for long periods of time.
(06/06 13:54:57) Calum Traveler: i wont bore you with the details there.
(06/06 13:55:25) Calum Traveler: what i will tell you is that the Mysterium Wing will be open for this year’s Mysterium, and it contains some goodies!
(06/06 13:55:35) IwonK: :O
(06/06 13:55:42) Calum Traveler: this year’s T Shirt, as well as the relocation of the previous year’s shirt tables,
(06/06 13:55:43) *Jodok*: ooohh
(06/06 13:55:57) Mevvah: dooooOOOOOooohhh…
(06/06 13:56:16) Calum Traveler: there’s also some interesting artworks the Committee provided me (Thanks Kelly!) that you might find very puzzling and interesting
(06/06 13:56:33) Calum Traveler: ill leave the rest up to you 😉
(06/06 13:56:56) ural: Including live mysterium ??
(06/06 13:56:57) Calum Traveler: next up: A small update to Naybree, just a little Quality of Life update that hopefully should help in country evenings with keeping the marbles in place.
(06/06 13:56:58) rarified: Open *when* Mysterium decorations go live!
(06/06 13:57:00) Mevvah: niiiiice
(06/06 13:57:06) IwonK: puzzling, you say? :>
(06/06 13:57:14) Calum Traveler: or, atleast,
(06/06 13:57:17) Calum Traveler: not going into the water
(06/06 13:57:29) rarified never found his marbles
(06/06 13:57:38) Calum Traveler: i put in some magic nets to keep the glowing things from sinking beneath the waves in magic bot’s naybree
(06/06 13:57:48) IwonK checks if Rar’s marbles are still in her stash
(06/06 13:57:50) Calum Traveler: you shouldnt notice any other changes otherwise,
(06/06 13:58:21) Calum Traveler: next: The First Trial Version of the Gahreesen Wall Audio Retakes will finally be going up
(06/06 13:58:26) Prad: There will be lots of networks now when the new naybree goes online 😛
(06/06 13:58:44) Calum Traveler: they were voiced by me as a trial run of the ‘hopefully softer’ take on the wall’s announcer,
(06/06 13:58:57) Calum Traveler: many folks early on, including the original VA, realized the original takes were a slight bit… caustic.
(06/06 13:59:10) Mevvah: aww, but the wall’s announcer blasting was part of the “training” i thought… to toughen up Maintainers
(06/06 13:59:12) Calum Traveler: but they werent rerecorded by the original VA, and since hes no longer around I had to do it myself.
(06/06 13:59:15) Mevvah: like a drill sergeant
(06/06 13:59:21) ShilohOBrien snickers.
(06/06 13:59:24) PodHopper: You have to go AROUND the blockers… y’know…
(06/06 13:59:44) Calum Traveler: if people think I went a bit too soft on these lines, or wish for another person to do the lines,
(06/06 13:59:48) Calum Traveler: we’ll go for another rendition 🙂
(06/06 13:59:56) Calum Traveler: but first and foremost i just wanted to get a new version out there.
(06/06 14:00:35) Korov’ev: I’d like a GS Hartman option 🙂
(06/06 14:00:39) shokhootahn Rehn: Are you keepig the D’ni speech artifacts?
(06/06 14:00:39) Calum Traveler: finally, but by no means least,
(06/06 14:00:40) Prad: I vocalized a german localization of the original ones … but would be glad to do the same for some less ‘pressing’ ones 🙂
(06/06 14:00:43) IwonK: Rand would make a great VA for the Wall 😉
(06/06 14:00:46) Calum Traveler: yes, the dni audios are unaffected
(06/06 14:00:52) IwonK: just sayin’ 😉
(06/06 14:00:52) Calum Traveler: only the english VA was replaced
(06/06 14:01:01) shokhootahn Rehn: Yay!
(06/06 14:01:08) Calum Traveler: finally,
(06/06 14:01:11) Calum Traveler clears throat
(06/06 14:01:20) Calum Traveler draws forth a small printed out PDF document
(06/06 14:01:28) ShilohOBrien: Hmmmm?
(06/06 14:01:41) Calum Traveler: Semjay is pleased to announce the upcoming Release (Date not Set yet) of Pod 56,
(06/06 14:01:44) Calum Traveler: also known as “Jalargura”
(06/06 14:01:54) neurovac: Great work!
(06/06 14:01:59) Calum Traveler: The pod itself is a typical observation pod. It is labelled with a large D’ni “56” on the lower floor andthe roof. The main viewing window on the lower level has been smashed giving access to theenvironment outside
(06/06 14:02:05) PodHopper: more pods! 😀
(06/06 14:02:09) Dreamer3: Woot woot!
(06/06 14:02:19) Calum Traveler: some history, from Semjay:
(06/06 14:02:20) Mevvah: doooooooool
(06/06 14:02:28) shokhootahn Ana is laughing at Podhopper.
(06/06 14:02:32) Calum Traveler: The pod was deposited in an empty desert and used by the Dni as an observation post.
(06/06 14:02:43) IwonK: more hopping, Pod! 😀
(06/06 14:02:46) Calum Traveler: Over time, it caught the attention of an indigenous population. They observed strange lights andmovement coming from within. The pod became an object of devotion and worship, and a largetemple was built around it. Gradually a large city, catering for pilgrims and tourists, surroundedthe temple.
(06/06 14:02:49) Dreamer3: Somebody better put warning cones in front of the broken window.
(06/06 14:03:16) Calum Traveler: Eventually, the occurrence of movement and light within the pod ceased. The indigenous people lost interest and drifted away. The city was abandoned. Desert reclaimed the city, engulfing it in sand.
(06/06 14:03:17) Mevvah: lolDreamer
(06/06 14:03:26) IwonK: I’d still kick them 😛
(06/06 14:03:39) Mevvah: me too iwonk
(06/06 14:04:19) Calum Traveler: in 2025, Semjay purchased the Pod 56 book from the Explorer’s Emporium.
(06/06 14:05:07) Calum Traveler: Semjay carried out her survey, and found it suitable for explorers to visit. After completing her restoration, she has kindly donated the book to the Chiso Preniv Library.
(06/06 14:05:20) Dreamer3: Ella is selling linking books for profit?! I’m shocked!
(06/06 14:05:33) Mevvah: shocked, I tell you!
(06/06 14:05:34) Calum Traveler shakes head slightly
(06/06 14:05:40) Calum Traveler: that’s all i have on history notes.
(06/06 14:06:03) Calum Traveler: obviously, for those of you familiar with a certain recentish RAD contest, yes, Pod56 is one of the pods from that contest!
(06/06 14:06:22) Calum Traveler: In March 2025, it came in fourth place. 🙂
(06/06 14:06:32) Prad: still having to get a good deal with mrs darrington about the good wine in the Emporium cellars …
(06/06 14:06:32) Calum Traveler: it has been extensively updated since then.
(06/06 14:06:45) Dreamer3: Will the book also be in the museum, or only in Chiso?
(06/06 14:06:55) Calum Traveler: only in Chiso at this time,
(06/06 14:07:00) ShilohOBrien: Ella hasn’t added a Starbucks to it, has she?
(06/06 14:07:16) Mevvah starts to laugh
(06/06 14:07:17) Calum Traveler: we do not have any plans to add to the Ae’gura Library or Museum at this moment.
(06/06 14:07:24) Prad: *Starfissurebucks*
(06/06 14:07:30) Calum Traveler: *ahhem*
(06/06 14:07:45) Calum Traveler: i also can’t promise this, as it’s that “I’d like to squeak it in” thing,
(06/06 14:07:59) IwonK looks around for Thor
(06/06 14:08:11) Calum Traveler: but assuming it works out timing wise, id like to get just the updated Eder Tomahn for Descent pushed through.
(06/06 14:08:17) Calum Traveler: the doorway will be blocked off, of course,
(06/06 14:08:31) Calum Traveler: if it doesnt work out, it doesnt work out,
(06/06 14:08:41) Calum Traveler: but i think that would be a nice little teaser to tide everyone over for a little bit 🙂
(06/06 14:09:03) Calum Traveler: alright, any questions?
(06/06 14:09:07) caver1: What is “VA”?
(06/06 14:09:12) Calum Traveler: VA – Voice Actor
(06/06 14:09:49) PodHopper: none in my q…
(06/06 14:10:00) Calum Traveler: any other Qs from audience?
(06/06 14:10:03) Calum Traveler: going once….
(06/06 14:10:06) Mevvah: well if the english is the only part being redone for the Qall, it might be ok … the D’ni part is the drill-sergeant-y one
(06/06 14:10:10) Calum Traveler: going twice……………
(06/06 14:10:31) Calum Traveler: last chance….!
(06/06 14:10:39) Calum Traveler: no? Okay. thank you all 🙂
(06/06 14:10:43) PodHopper: Thank you, Calum!
(06/06 14:10:51) Calum Traveler bows
(06/06 14:11:05) PodHopper: The next AGM is scheduled for the 4th of July, 2026
(06/06 14:11:10) PodHopper: Thank you everyone for coming to the AGM!
(06/06 14:11:14) PodHopper bows
(06/06 14:11:17) rarified: Thank you PodHopper
(06/06 14:11:19) Dreamer3: Thank you Hopper and all!

(06/06 14:11:38) PodHopper: Playtime!
(06/06 14:12:02) Calum Traveler: take care all, im off for food.
(06/06 14:12:04) Calum Traveler waves goodbye
(06/06 14:12:09) Mevvah: calum, is the pod book in chiso yet or no?
(06/06 14:12:17) Mevvah: oops
