Here is the summary for the 194th All Guilds Meeting, moderated by PodHopper, along with the raw and cleansed chatlogs!

Contents

Guild of Messengers Website

Korov’ev reported (again) on the loss of the Guild of Messengers 3.2 news site, and addressed a few stopgap measures. Of course, as you’re reading this, the 4.0 website is now online 😄

  1. The community calendar is based on Google, so the public link is still valid. The calendar is also available at UruTunes. Bitly-based short URL versions are also available: US, EU, UK, RU, JP.
  2. Raw and cleansed chatlogs since 2016 (and a few from before that) are available from Korov’ev’s Dropbox folder, but perhaps saving them in a wiki or forum could be a better option.
  3. The tutorials about MOULa errors and installing shards on macOS and Linux are mirrored in the Guild of Writers wiki; this also allows anyone to update and fix these tutorials, as they may have fallen behind the latest developments.
  4. Rel.to admin login depended on the GoMe website, so the Myst-specific URL shortening tool is locked and unchangeable at this point.

OpenUru

☛ Several additions have been pushed from Minkata Alpha to Prime, to be included in the next update: a new desk and decoration updates to Chiso Preniv; the ‘V2’ Release of the Messengers Pub, including the Mysterium wing with some interesting artworks by the Committee; a small update to Naybree, just a little quality of life update that hopefully should stop the glowing things from sinking beneath the waves; possibly Gahreesen Wall audio retakes, to replace the slightly caustic ones that currently play.

☛ One of the next Ages to be added will be Pod 56, aka Jalargura, by Semjay, one of the entries of the 2025 RAD contest. The pod was deposited in an empty desert and used by the D’ni as an observation post. Over time, it caught the attention of an indigenous population. The pod became an object of devotion and worship and a large temple was built around it. Eventually the occurrence of movement and light within the pod ceased, the indigenous people lost interest and drifted away. The city was abandoned and the desert reclaimed the city, engulfing it in sand.

Mysterium

☛ The deadline for booking a hotel room at the Mysterium rate is Monday, June 15, so hurry if you haven’t booked your room yet! If you’re looking for a roommate for your stay, check the #looking-for-people channel on the Mysterium Discord server.

☛ Cyan’s State of presentation will be hosted in person, by Hannah Gamiel and Eric A. Anderson!

☛ The schedule for the convention (to be held on July 24–26) is now available; there will be a panel about Descent, moderated by Murry and including Tweek, Ametist, and Calum Traveler.

☛ The Creativity Prompt for June–July is “Matchmaker”. Entries for the “Sunset” prompt for May were from Calum Traveler and Talashar.

Events in the Cavern

☛ The Cooking Sessions are on the first Monday of the month at 12:00 KIT, via Twitch, in the Guild of Caterers’ Hood. This month she made the classic dessert, rhubarb fool. You can find past recipes and recordings at Skyisblu’s blog and YouTube channel.

☛ IwonK is taking a break from her Wonky Talks to focus on her school assignments. She will get back to streaming sometime in July, depending on how the finals go. In the meantime, she is making some games of her own as a year-long gamedev challenge, using Bitsy; you can find them at her itch.io page.

She is also still working with Kefrith on the Mysterium-like online event, provisionally named “Rivenium”. They are looking for ideas, events and presentations or panels. If you are interested, you can find IwonK or Kefrith on the Mysterium Discord, at the dedicated forum.

☛ Every Saturday, Ereshkigal is hosting an Ancient Stories event at 15:00 KIT in Chiso Preniv, reading folktales, translated ancient texts, historical fiction from all over the ancient world, as well as the occasional historical-inspired fan fiction.

☛ Babbel is on holiday, so PodHopper will will host for her. The next classical music program in the Hall of Kings in Ae’gura will be on Monday 15 at 12:00 KIT. The theme will be “German Composers”.

☛ Augur’s Speculative Fiction Book Club is back from the May hiatus, and will meet in Nezetahn(1)’s Hood’s Eder Delin on July 18 at 12:30 KIT to discuss three novellas: “The Emperor’s Soul” by Brandon Sanderson, “Story of Your Life” by Ted Chiang, and “The Lies of the Ajungo” by Moses Ose Utomi. Everyone is welcome to discuss their opinions on the book, using either voice or text chat.

☛ Brooketh presented the Competitive Myst Online Group, hosting an Ahyoheek game every Saturday at 21:00 KIT in the Competitive Myst Online Hood. All players are welcome, regardless of skill level. If you don’t know how to play, they will teach you. Or you can just hang out and observe. Voice chat is encouraged, but not required; both are used.

On the Open Cave shard, Ayohiker holds an analogous event every Monday at 14:00 KIT in the Ayohikers’ hood. There are also new games in the City of Dimensions: Tic-Tac-TOC and Connect Four.

☛ PodHopper is preparing two events for the summer: Celtic Night and Summerfestival. Planning is still in the early stages, so there are no fixed dates or themes yet. Suggestions or volunteers are as usual welcome.

☞ For a more complete list of upcoming events, check the calendar. Times and events may change at the last minute; you can find the latest updates at:

D’ni Language Classes

Shokhootahn Rehn had two updates, one for the D’ni Language Classes and one for the Story Nights. Mevvah completed the final exam and passed the D’ni 101 class; votahret ah’shem khebahrtahtahvom! Mevvah’s instructor was Augur, who has taught his first complete 101 class. And this was also shokhootahn Ana’s first foray into mentoring a new student teacher – Augur of course – so she mentored him as he was teaching Mevvah!

Visitors are asked to not post pellet points into the hood imager: one of his former students and a close friend, Yutiel Yoshi, who passed away in 2018, is listed there. He has refrained from posting pellets to maintain her name at the top, as a form of memorial.

D’ni Language Classes schedule (click to expand)
  • Those who would like to attend the lessons should contact Rehn, preferably on Discord (r’Tayrtahn#1317), or via KImail (#80428). Be sure to include your KI number, so that Rehn can send you a reply!
  • The Guild of Instructors’ Hood will be open and public unless a class is in session. Classes are individual.
  • Daytime openings are on Monday to Friday, at 10:00, 11:00 or 12:00 KIT, depending on the student’s schedule.
  • Evening openings are on Monday to Thursday, at 20:00, 21:00 or 22:00 KIT, depending on the student’s schedule.
  • Daytime availability is subject to change with little or no notice. Last-minute changes to class times will be announced via Magic Bot (#27527) or Mimi Bot (#71459); to be notified, add both as buddies, then PM them “advert”.

R’Tayrtahn’s Story Nights

Story Night Europe and Original Story Night will continue this month with the last stories from the game Myst IV: Revelation. Eventually they will cover all of the books and games, as well as the three human attempts at the restoration of D’ni.

R’Tayrtahn records videos of the sessions (via an avatar named “I’m a bot, do not message”), that he will eventually upload to his YouTube channel. Be careful if you PM r’Tay or the bot during the events, as messages will be visible in the videos 😉

Videos now also come with auto translated captions in French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Polish, Portuguese and Spanish. Automatic translation often has trouble with words like “D’ni” or “linking books”, so your mileage may vary 😉

Story Nights schedule (click to expand)
  • Story Nights are held in Tsahno’s Hood every Saturday, gathering at the fountain at around 23:00 KIT, with the story starting at about 23:30 KIT.
  • For Story Nights – Europe, the gatherings are on Saturday starting at 13:30 KIT, with the story starting at about 14:00 KIT.
  • On All Guilds Meeting days, the event will begin at 14:00 KIT or 30 minutes after the meeting, whichever is later.
  • The stories are told using voice chat, so you will need to have your speakers, headphones or KI devices on. If you would like a reminder, please send r’Tayrtahn (#58324) a KImail with your KI number included in the text, so that he can add you to his buddies list.

Miscellanea

☛ This month, the Age Expeditions in Deep Island will conclude the visit to the Geologica Ages, then will investigate the pyramid of Oolbahnneea. In The Open Cave, they will go back to Gahreesen and Kadish Tolesa.

That was it for this month. Please consider donating to keep the Cavern open!
May ended with the CavFunding at 45% (CavCon 2.5) and the reserve at 644%.
The next All Guilds Meeting is planned for Saturday, July 4 (Leesahn 2) at 13:00 KIT.

Until then!
