  • MOULa update OpenUru#223a

    MOULa update OpenUru#223a

    On July 8 MOULa got another update, including the new age of Jalargura, some new clothing items, including those for Mysterium, and a teaser for Descent! A full changelog is available at the bottom of this post.

    A note on bugs (click to expand)

    When an update hits MOULa it is almost inevitable that unexpected bugs will show up. For all the testing that can be done, Minkata never sees as many concurrent players as the official server, and not all issues can be catched.

    When the servers have just been restarted, most of the early linking slowness and problems are from the database buffers refilling – and by an overload of concurrent logins 😉

    No additions from Cyan are to be expected for the foreseeable future, apart from server updates, so all improvements and additions will come from fan developers, who dedicate their limited free time to at least try to let MOULa be the best it could potentially be.

    So the best way to deal with bugs is to have patience and report them, mentioning where you were and what you were doing, be it on Cyan’s Discord or OpenUru’s Discord.

    If you fancy contributing your work and/or helping with bug fixing, those places are also excellent starting points to be part of the Fourth Restoration 🙂

  • Game Chronology

    (This was originally a thread on the MOUL forum)

    This is an attempt to compile a complete and precise, real-life chronology of the releases of D’ni (Myst universe) games – a smaller scope than the Guild of Archivists’ in-character D’ni Timeline. Boldface denotes milestones, usually (but not always) required making new accounts.

  • June 2026 All Guilds Meeting Summary

    June 2026 All Guilds Meeting Summary

    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!

    (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 13:16:43)  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 13:18:24) 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 13:20:59) Claidi Song cheers
    (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 claps his hands
    (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 13:30:28) Dreamer3 claps his hands
    (06/06 13:30:34)  Calum Traveler: *definitely* see about migrating everything you can to a new account

    (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 13:44:48)  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 13:51:40)  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 13:56:54) Slingbelly cheers
    (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 :P
    (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 14:01:53) *Jodok* cheers
    (06/06 14:01:54)  neurovac: Great work!
    (06/06 14:01:58) IwonK cheers
    (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 14:01:59) Slingbelly cheers
    (06/06 14:02:02) uru348 cheers
    (06/06 14:02:05)  PodHopper: more pods! :D
    (06/06 14:02:07) ShilohOBrien cheers
    (06/06 14:02:09)  Dreamer3: Woot woot!
    (06/06 14:02:15) Augur cheers
    (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! :D 
    (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 :P
    (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 14:06:26) Mevvah claps her hands
    (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 14:10:06)  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 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 13:17:28) Brooketh bows

    (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 13:35:44) PodHopper: ~~~ D’ni Language Class and Story Night ~~~

    (06/06 13:35:54) Claidi Song: -0.048 mv

    (06/06 13:36:14) shokhootahn Rehn: As always, I have two separate announcements. One is for the D’ni Language Class and the other one is for r’Tayrtahn’s Story Night.

    (06/06 13:36:19) shokhootahn Rehn: First, the language classes…

Contact me by PM to set up a day and a time, KI mail me at KI# 80428, or on Discord at r’Tayrtahn.

    (06/06 13:38:45) Ereshkigal: Wow!

    (06/06 13:39:00) shokhootahn Rehn: Please give a warm round of applause to Mevvah, who completed the 101 class!

    (06/06 13:39:04) Claidi Song: -0.048 mv

    (06/06 13:39:07) Mevvah bows

    (06/06 13:39:20) shokhootahn Rehn: This class included two other milestones…

    (06/06 13:39:30) shokhootahn Rehn: shokhootahn Augur has taught his first complete 101 class as Mevvah’s instructor. Please give a warm roundn of applause to Augur!

    (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 13:40:11) shokhootahn Ana bows

    (06/06 13:40:44) shokhootahn Rehn: Thay all have done a fabulous job!

    (06/06 13:41:01) PodHopper: A lot of clap editing this time 🙂

    (06/06 13:41:02) Claidi Song: Congrats all!

    (06/06 13:41:16) shokhootahn Ana: It’s been a pleasure!

    (06/06 13:41:23) shokhootahn Rehn: The Guild of Instructors’ Hood will be open and public unless a class is in session.

    (06/06 13:41:29) Augur: Truly a joy!

    (06/06 13:41:33) Prad: a long chain ot teachers teaching teachers teaching …

    (06/06 13:41:34) shokhootahn Rehn: I have one request for visitors: Please do not post pellet points into the Hood imager.

    (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 13:50:24) 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 14:12:04) Calum Traveler waves goodbye

    (06/06 14:12:09) Mevvah: calum, is the pod book in chiso yet or no?

  • May 2026 All Guilds Meeting Summary

    May 2026 All Guilds Meeting Summary

    Here is the summary for the 193rd All Guilds Meeting, moderated by PodHopper, along with the raw and cleansed chatlogs!

    Contents

    1. OpenUru
    2. Events in the Cavern
    3. D’ni Language Classes
    4. R’Tayrtahn’s Story Nights

    OpenUru

    ☛ Development on MahrnGestoy and Jalargura (Pod56) continues, but they will probably open later than the next update.

    ☛ The currently available area in Descent will likely change a bit when the new version will open, to accomodate for changed details, at least in the public version. Hood instances may be updated at a later time.

    The improved Descent will include elements from the DIRT demo, and the book in Chiso Preniv will link to the Cleft caldera, as previously seen in Myst V.

    ☛ Testers on the Minkata shards are asked not to post pictures from upcoming Ages. Many developers would prefer to keep the final version of their works a surprise, and locations may change quite a bit during development.

    ☞ For a more complete list of upcoming Ages, check the Explorers Restoration Projects list.

    Events in the Cavern

    ☛ Skyisblu‘s Cooking Sessions are on the first Monday of the month at 12:00 KIT, via Twitch, in the Guild of Caterers’ Hood. 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 plans to get back to streaming sometime in July.

    Besides streaming, IwonK 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 working with Kefrith on an idea originating from the Mysterium Discord: a Mysterium-like online event. The work title is “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, but has prepared a few of her Classical Music programs in advance, currently hosted by PodHopper. The next event will be on Monday 18 at 12:00 KIT, in the Hall of Kings in Ae’gura. The theme for this month will be “Eleven“.

    ☛ Augur’s Speculative Fiction Book Club will gather in Nezetahn(1)’s Hood’s Eder Delin, on July 18 at 12:30 KIT. Because of the large gap between meetings, they will do something a little different: instead of voting on a single book, they will have three novellas:

    • “The Emperor’s Soul” by Brandon Sanderson
    • “Story of Your Life” by Ted Chiang
    • “The Lies of the Ajungo” by Moses Ose Utomi

    They will discuss all three, but attendees are welcome to read just the ones that grab their interest.

    ☛ 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.

    ☛ Mystitech Productions’ The Lost Art mini-episode 16a, “EVAC“, premiered on April 25.

    ☛ The Age Expeditions are hosted on the Deep Island and the Open Cave shards by Korov’ev, every Sunday at 11:00 KIT. There’s also an (uncommented) Twitch stream.

    In the Open Cave, they concluded the first cycle, so they will start the Journeys again, beginning with Eder Gira & Kemo. Note that invites are not updated, and new ones have the same name, so if you have one you may want to delete it before participating, or you’ll have to guess which one is correct.

    In Deep Island, they will visit some of TikiBear‘s creations, then they will begin the Geologica ages, showcasing a location on Earth as it looked millions of years ago.

    ☞ For a more complete list of upcoming events, check our 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.

    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.
    • Evening openings are on Monday to Thursday, at 20:00, 21:00 or 22:00 KIT, depending on the student’s schedule.
    • Daytime openings are on Monday to Friday, at 10:00, 11:00 or 12:00 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 are currently telling the stories from Myst III: Exile. Eventually they 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 “DRC” 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 14:30 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.

    That was it for this month. Please consider donating to keep the Cavern open!

    March ended with the CavFunding at 103% (CavCon 3) and the reserve at 740%.

    The next All Guilds Meeting is planned for Saturday, June 6 (Leebro 9) at 13:00 KIT.

    Until then!

    (05/02 21:12:14) PodHopper: During her holiday, I will broadcast her shows for her.

    (05/02 21:12:22) PodHopper: She will try to be present as well, but that will depend on the availability of internet at her destination.

    (05/02 21:12:39) PodHopper: Classical with Babbel:

    (05/02 21:12:42) PodHopper: April 20, 2026 12 KI in the Hall of Kings, Ae’gura

    (05/02 21:14:46) PodHopper: at 12:30 KIT in the Eder Delin of Nezetahn’s Hood.

    (05/02 21:14:53) PodHopper: With the large gap between meetings, we’re going to do something a little different for this next one.

    (05/02 21:15:02) PodHopper: Instead of voting on and reading one book, we’re going to have three novellas:

    (05/02 21:15:11) PodHopper: – “The Emperor’s Soul” by Brandon Sanderson

    (05/02 21:15:19) PodHopper: – “Story of Your Life” by Ted Chiang

    (05/02 21:15:26) PodHopper: – “The Lies of the Ajungo” by Moses Ose Utomi

    (05/02 21:15:37) PodHopper: We’ll discuss them all, but folks are welcome to read just the ones that grab their interest.

    (05/02 21:16:01) PodHopper: ~~~ Ayoheek Night ~~~

    (05/02 21:16:05) PodHopper beckons you

    (05/02 21:16:05) PodHopper: Come on up, Brooketh

    (05/02 21:16:16) Brooketh bows

    (05/02 21:16:32) Brooketh: Shorah all!

    (05/02 21:16:45) 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.

    (05/02 21:16:56) Brooketh: We are a friendly, social group 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.

    (05/02 21:17:05) IwonK: oh dear

    (05/02 21:17:07) 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.

    (05/02 21:17:23) Brooketh: We do hope to see you there!

    (05/02 21:17:30) Brooketh: Any questions?

    (05/02 21:17:35) PodHopper: No questions in the queue.

    (05/02 21:17:42) Brooketh bows

    (05/02 21:17:46) PodHopper: Thank you, Brooketh!

    (05/02 21:18:05) Brooketh bows

    (05/02 21:18:06) PodHopper: ~~~ Fan Age Expeditions ~~~

    (05/02 21:18:09) PodHopper beckons you

    (05/02 21:18:09) PodHopper: Come on up, Korov’ev

    (05/02 21:18:23) Korov’ev waves hello

    (05/02 21:18:23) Korov’ev: Shorah bivrov!

    (05/02 21:18:34) Korov’ev: First, a quick Mystitech announcement for those who missed it 😉

    (05/02 21:18:39) Korov’ev: The Lost Art mini-episode 16a, “EVAC”, premiered on April 25: https://youtu.be/5TeFs6a9ES0

    (05/02 21:18:45) Korov’ev: The minisode features a few special locations courtesy of Dulcamara!

    (05/02 21:18:58) Korov’ev: And now, an update on the Fan Age Expeditions in Deep Island and Open Cave:

    (05/02 21:19:18) Korov’ev: In Deep Island, last month we visited Enobmort, the cubic maze by J’Kla. I had to skip a session, so that was all for DI. In TOC, we visited the latest ages released: the Explorers’ Emporium and Sameehn.

    (05/02 21:19:38) Korov’ev: What’s coming this month? Tomorrow, in Deep Island, we’ll visit some of TikiBear’s creations. Then, we’ll begin to travel back millions of years, in the Geologica ages 🙂

    (05/02 21:20:01) Korov’ev: In the Open Cave, we’ve completed a cycle of expeditions! We’ll take the First Journey again, starting in Eder Gira. We’ll see what happens when an age with invites is reset.

    (05/02 21:20:15) Korov’ev: A cursory test suggests that invites are *not* updated, and new ones have the same name. So if you have one, you may want to delete it, or you’ll have to guess which one is correct 🙂

    (05/02 21:20:31) Korov’ev: The expeditions are on Sunday at 11:00 KIT, in Deep Island starting in the only hood there (use “/hood”); in the Open Cave, starting in the Fan Ages Touring Club’s Hood.

    (05/02 21:20:46) ShilohOBrien: Invite roulette. Cool.

    (05/02 21:20:51) Korov’ev: There’s also an (uncommented) stream: https://www.twitch.tv/korovvannoort

    (05/02 21:20:51) Calum Traveler: (Tech answer: The Nexus maintains links to orphaned instances. )

    (05/02 21:21:02) Korov’ev: More info and guidelines can be found at https://forum.guildofwriters.org/viewtopic.php?f=111&t=7140

    (05/02 21:21:08) Korov’ev: And that’s all I got! Any questions?

    (05/02 21:21:13) Calum Traveler: (So yes, new invites need to be sent to the new (#) instance of the age)

    (05/02 21:21:22) PodHopper: No questions in the queue.

    (05/02 21:21:31) Korov’ev: Yeah, the paradox is that people with invites seems to have access to the instance you deleted as long as they keep the invite 🙂

    (05/02 21:21:43) Calum Traveler: yep, meanwhile the owner… does not.

    (05/02 21:21:45) Korov’ev: Back to my seat then!

    (05/02 21:21:50) IwonK: 😀

    (05/02 21:21:51) Calum Traveler: punny paradoxes

    (05/02 21:21:51) Korov’ev bows

    (05/02 21:21:54) PodHopper: Thank you, Korov’ev!

    (05/02 21:22:16) PodHopper: ~~~ D’ni Language Class and Story Night ~~~

    (05/02 21:22:19) PodHopper beckons you

    (05/02 21:22:19) PodHopper: Come on up, shokhootahn Rehn

    (05/02 21:22:45) shokhootahn Rehn: As always, I have two separate announcements. One is for the D’ni Language Class and the other one is for r’Tayrtahn’s Story Night.

    (05/02 21:22:57) shokhootahn Rehn: First, the language classes…

    (05/02 21:23:08) shokhootahn Rehn: There are evening classes available on weekday evenings Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, starting at 20:00, 21:00 or 22:00 KI time, depending on the student’s schedule.

    (05/02 21:23:22) shokhootahn Rehn: (there already is a student scheduled for the Friday night classes)

    (05/02 21:23:35) shokhootahn Rehn: There are daytime openings on Monday through Friday, starting at either 10:00 KI time, 11:00 KI time, or 12:00 KI time, again, depending on the student’s schedule. Contact me by PM to set up a day and a time, KI mail me at KI# 80428, or on Discord at r’Tayrtahn.

    (05/02 21:24:06) shokhootahn Rehn: (Discord is best)

    (05/02 21:24:14) shokhootahn Rehn: All classes are Monday through Friday, only. There are no weekend classes available.

    (05/02 21:24:22) shokhootahn Rehn: If you are going to contact me by KI-mail, please remember to include your KI #.

    (05/02 21:24:33) shokhootahn Rehn: As always, current students can find last-minute updates to class times on the left-hand imager.

    (05/02 21:24:58) shokhootahn Rehn: The Guild of Instructors’ Hood will be open and public unless a class is in session.

    (05/02 21:25:07) shokhootahn Rehn: I have one request for visitors: Please do not post pellet points into the Hood imager.

    (05/02 21:25:25) shokhootahn Rehn: Are there any questions?

    (05/02 21:25:31) PodHopper: No questions in the queue.

    (05/02 21:25:37) shokhootahn Rehn: Moving on…

    (05/02 21:25:44) shokhootahn Rehn: The second announcement is about r’Taytahn’s Story Night.

    (05/02 21:26:08) shokhootahn Rehn: Today, we will tell the third story of four (#85 of 104) from the game, Myst III: Exile.

    (05/02 21:26:23) shokhootahn Rehn: Eventually, we cover all of the books and games, as well as the three human attempts at restoration.

    (05/02 21:26:38) 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!

    (05/02 21:26:57) 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.

    (05/02 21:27:50) shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night is held in the public neighborhood of Tsahno’s Hood every Saturday.

    (05/02 21:28:04) 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.

    (05/02 21:28:26) 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.

    (05/02 21:28:50) shokhootahn Rehn: Lately, it’s been starting at 14:30 on AGM Saturdays. 🙂

    (05/02 21:28:58) shokhootahn Rehn: I also post changes on the left-hand imager in the hood.

    (05/02 21:29:07) 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. 🙂

    (05/02 21:29:20) shokhootahn Rehn: Minasunda is one of those members, as she runs the announcements channel on Discord.

    (05/02 21:29:29) shokhootahn Rehn: The stories are told using voice so you will need to have your speakers or headsets on.

    (05/02 21:29:48) 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. 🙂

    (05/02 21:30:18) shokhootahn Rehn: We hope to see you there!

    (05/02 21:30:24) shokhootahn Rehn: Any questions?

    (05/02 21:30:29) PodHopper: No questions in the queue.

    (05/02 21:30:32) shokhootahn Rehn thanks you very much!

    (05/02 21:30:35) PodHopper: Thank you, shokhootahn Rehn!

    (05/02 21:32:03) Calum Traveler: Area Status Updates:

    (05/02 21:32:16) rarified: Calum Soon rather than Cyan Soon

    (05/02 21:32:42) IndigoMoon: 🙂

    (05/02 21:32:47) Calum Traveler: MahrnGestoy: due to the size of the area, and a wrist injury, we do expect it to take a lot longer than previously expected to make its way through the whole “Process”

    (05/02 21:33:27) caver1: ?

    (05/02 21:33:32) Calum Traveler: Jalargura(Pod56): No new updates, it should continue through unabided once other things move out of “Alpha” to “Prime.”

    (05/02 21:34:02) Calum Traveler: Descent:

    (05/02 21:34:22) Calum Traveler: Due to an Earthquake several weeks ago, damage was sustained to the elevator rails in the Main Shaft Area.

    (05/02 21:34:39) Calum Traveler: we expect work will continue to shore up the rails until the very last minute of release.

    (05/02 21:35:07) Calum Traveler: you may or may not hear echoes of construction when visiting your Hood Instances at some point in the future, depending on when or if those instances ever “Catch Up” to our current work.

    (05/02 21:35:26) Calum Traveler: i’d like to remind folks that we know little about how the Hood Instances truly work and how they “update” themselves.

    (05/02 21:35:43) Calum Traveler: while Linking Books could be added to the main city and seemingly appear in hoods at the same time,

    (05/02 21:35:51) Calum Traveler: other changes seemed to either never show up, or take forever to appear.

    (05/02 21:36:01) Calum Traveler: for example: the colapse in the Kahlo Pub never migrated over,

    (05/02 21:36:12) Calum Traveler: but the Memorial Imager took years before it finally echoed over into hood instances.

    (05/02 21:36:43) Calum Traveler: we in our current era of the restoration have no clue when or if our work in Descent will carry over to the Hood instances,

    (05/02 21:36:48) Calum Traveler: HOWEVER, if they do,

    (05/02 21:37:05) Calum Traveler: you will immediately know by the fact that a barricade has been erected in the main doorway of the Rest Area tomahn,

    (05/02 21:37:22) Calum Traveler: a tarp, and a horse barrier, will block the entry, until official release.

    (05/02 21:37:35) Calum Traveler: again, i have no idea if or when this will happen for hood instances,

    (05/02 21:37:42) Calum Traveler: i dont control the bahro or whatever yeesha magic is behind it.

    (05/02 21:37:54) Kahi laughs

    (05/02 21:38:26) Calum Traveler: finally: as I mentioned at the top of the Descent section

    (05/02 21:38:58) Calum Traveler: the elevator rail sections were damaged in multiple places. we are hoping that it will be fully fixed at the time of release,

    (05/02 21:39:32) Calum Traveler: do not worry about where we’re getting the supplies for it: it seems some old D’ni engineer had the foresight to leave behind a storage room near the top of the shaft full of replacement items such as button triggers, extra rail segments, and even a whole intact elevator cart

    (05/02 21:39:43) PodHopper: if not, a “free ride” will get a new meaning…

    (05/02 21:39:57) Calum Traveler: we’re hoping that once the repair work is done, nobody will be able to tell the difference.

    (05/02 21:40:06) IndigoMoon laughs

    (05/02 21:40:29) Calum Traveler: Guild of Messengers Pub: I’m still waiting on some supplies to come in for the 2026 Mysterium update,

    (05/02 21:40:53) Calum Traveler: im hoping that will be ready sooner rather than later,

    (05/02 21:40:58) Calum Traveler: time is getting close!

    (05/02 21:41:27) Calum Traveler: any questions?

    (05/02 21:41:33) ScottMiller: How soon will Descent e rrelesed?

    (05/02 21:41:38) IwonK: what’s the meaning of life again?

    (05/02 21:41:42) Calum Traveler: we can’t say for certain, Scott,

    (05/02 21:41:48) IndigoMoon: 🙂

    (05/02 21:41:48) caver1: 42

    (05/02 21:41:51) Calum Traveler: the elevator damages pushed back our expectations,

    (05/02 21:41:53) *Jodok*: 42

    (05/02 21:42:00) ScottMiller: Can you give a bllpark figure?

    (05/02 21:42:09) Calum Traveler: im still hopeful it will be sometime this year.

    (05/02 21:42:10) ScottMiller: ballpark

    (05/02 21:42:13) IwonK: that’s what I thought 😀 and thanks for the fish 🙂

    (05/02 21:42:21) Calum Traveler: but im not going to hold myself to that as a firm deadline

    (05/02 21:42:22) Emor D’ni Lap: and there could be more earthquakes at any time!

    (05/02 21:42:33) Calum Traveler: yes, the area is prone to Earthquakes.

    (05/02 21:42:49) Brooketh: are these metaphorical earthquakes

    (05/02 21:42:52) *Jodok*: It’s a volcano no wonder

    (05/02 21:43:08) Calum Traveler: metaphorical, literal, what’s the difference?

    (05/02 21:43:12) IndigoMoon: thanks for all the work on this, considering the danger and all

    (05/02 21:43:14) Calum Traveler: they still happen and delay things.

    (05/02 21:43:17) ScottMiller: I’ve been waiting years for Decent!

    (05/02 21:43:21) Calum Traveler: we all have, Scott. 🙂

    (05/02 21:43:26) Kahi laughs

    (05/02 21:43:30) philipgr: D”niquakes

    (05/02 21:43:32) Calum Traveler: we want to make sure this is done correctly, and with appropriate fanfare.

    (05/02 21:43:34) *Jodok*: We all are waiting

    (05/02 21:43:38) ScottMiller: Truw!

    (05/02 21:43:47) rarified: Be careful what you wish for…

    (05/02 21:43:48) ScottMiller: TRUE!

    (05/02 21:44:05) Calum Traveler: questions? questions…?

    (05/02 21:44:11) *Jodok*: Yes

    (05/02 21:44:16) *Jodok* wants to ask a question…

    (05/02 21:44:20) Calum Traveler: yes, Jodok?

    (05/02 21:44:28) *Jodok*: Is descent similar to the demo?

    (05/02 21:44:58) Calum Traveler: if you’re referring to the “Dirt” exploration video someone posted to Youtube from, oh, the early 2000s?

    (05/02 21:44:58) *Jodok*: dIRT Demo of desent

    (05/02 21:45:11) ScottMiller: I’m more eggar for Decent than anythging else!

    (05/02 21:45:18) Calum Traveler: then in most regards youll find that it’s similar,

    (05/02 21:45:43) Calum Traveler: but of course, that exploration video started at a different entrance location, and seemed to cut out several miles of tunnels

    (05/02 21:45:47) *Jodok*: Okay probably except for the entry which now is eder kemo right?

    (05/02 21:46:26) philipgr: Eder Gira

    (05/02 21:46:27) *Jodok*: So we will enter from the cleft/volcano? like doobes intended it to be?

    (05/02 21:46:34) Calum Traveler: i wont spoil things more than “Our dedicated link from Chiso Preniv will be from the Caldera”

    (05/02 21:46:35) *Jodok*: Yeah gira sorry

    (05/02 21:46:48) Calum Traveler: to* the caldera, rather, sorry

    (05/02 21:47:01) *Jodok*: Okay fair

    (05/02 21:47:06) *Jodok*: Thanx calum

    (05/02 21:47:12) Calum Traveler: obviously, we can’t strip away your Hood links, but again, see my previous statements about instancing

    (05/02 21:47:19) rarified: You can always join the testing community 😉

    (05/02 21:47:34) Emor D’ni Lap: IF you want to TEST[

    (05/02 21:47:41) *Jodok*: i tried it on my old macbook it doesnt work

    (05/02 21:47:43) ScottMiller: how do we do that?

    (05/02 21:47:50) rarified: And don’t mind spoilers

    (05/02 21:47:53) Calum Traveler: i do not recommend joining testing if you only intend to get sneak peaks of things,

    (05/02 21:48:03) IwonK: don’t share spoilers too 😉

    (05/02 21:48:05) Calum Traveler: or risk getting innundated with potentially dangerous environments,

    (05/02 21:48:09) rarified: Correct. You need to work for your cookies.

    (05/02 21:48:22) Calum Traveler: we also request that people *do not* share work in progress photos online without permission

    (05/02 21:48:35) *Jodok*: Well testers should test like we saw in the videos of Summerfest

    (05/02 21:48:42) IndigoMoon: I’m kind of interested in testing, knowing what’s involved

    (05/02 21:48:47) Calum Traveler: we’ve had a few folk posting photos of Descent on facebook,

    (05/02 21:48:52) uru348: I’d say *someone* here exemplifies what Calum just said….

    (05/02 21:49:03) Calum Traveler: the team lead, Ami, would like to request that people *do not do that*

    (05/02 21:49:09) uru348: (and not in a good way)

    (05/02 21:49:16) Calum Traveler: especially when earthquakes could damage an area leading to it looking vastly different later.

    (05/02 21:49:22) rarified: We DO insist on courtesy to the restorers.

    (05/02 21:49:41) Verna: How does one go about applying to join Testing?

    (05/02 21:49:53) Calum Traveler: again, we very much appreciate people who wish to join testing, and i’ll deferr questions to that to Rarified,

    (05/02 21:50:03) Korov’ev: The bottom does look like a great location for rave parties

    (05/02 21:50:21) rarified: Go to https://foundry.openuru.org

    (05/02 21:50:23) Calum Traveler: but if all you’re joining for is to get a look ‘behind the curtain’ and not offer us feedback? please, wait your turn.

    (05/02 21:50:45) Verna: Thank you rarified

    (05/02 21:50:47) Rex Havoc: I did Beta Test original Uru Live, Good times

    (05/02 21:50:49) rarified: Also look at the testing section of http://forums.openuru.org/

    (05/02 21:51:05) Calum Traveler: one last question.

    (05/02 21:51:08) rarified: And finally join the OU Testing discord channel.

    (05/02 21:51:08) Calum Traveler: then i have to go.

    (05/02 21:51:14) Emor D’ni Lap: testing involves making detailed observations of minute things, filing reports including images, and more

    (05/02 21:12:14) PodHopper: During her holiday, I will broadcast her shows for her.
    (05/02 21:12:22) PodHopper: She will try to be present as well, but that will depend on the availability of internet at her destination.

    (05/02 21:14:46) PodHopper: at 12:30 KIT in the Eder Delin of Nezetahn's Hood.
    (05/02 21:14:53) PodHopper: With the large gap between meetings, we're going to do something a little different for this next one.
    (05/02 21:15:02) PodHopper: Instead of voting on and reading one book, we're going to have three novellas:
    (05/02 21:15:11) PodHopper: – "The Emperor's Soul" by Brandon Sanderson
    (05/02 21:15:19) PodHopper: – "Story of Your Life" by Ted Chiang
    (05/02 21:15:26) PodHopper: – "The Lies of the Ajungo" by Moses Ose Utomi
    (05/02 21:15:37) PodHopper: We'll discuss them all, but folks are welcome to read just the ones that grab their interest.

    (05/02 21:16:32) Brooketh: Shorah all!
    (05/02 21:16:45) 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.
    (05/02 21:16:56) Brooketh: We are a friendly, social group 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.
    (05/02 21:17:05) IwonK: oh dear
    (05/02 21:17:07) 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.
    (05/02 21:17:23) Brooketh: We do hope to see you there!

    (05/02 21:18:33) IndigoMoon claps her hands
    (05/02 21:18:34) Korov'ev: First, a quick Mystitech announcement for those who missed it 😉
    (05/02 21:18:39) Korov'ev: The Lost Art mini-episode 16a, "EVAC", premiered on April 25: https://youtu.be/5TeFs6a9ES0
    (05/02 21:18:45) Korov'ev: The minisode features a few special locations courtesy of Dulcamara!
    (05/02 21:18:58) Korov'ev: And now, an update on the Fan Age Expeditions in Deep Island and Open Cave:
    (05/02 21:19:18) Korov'ev: In Deep Island, last month we visited Enobmort, the cubic maze by J'Kla. I had to skip a session, so that was all for DI. In TOC, we visited the latest ages released: the Explorers' Emporium and Sameehn.
    (05/02 21:19:38) Korov'ev: What's coming this month? Tomorrow, in Deep Island, we'll visit some of TikiBear's creations. Then, we'll begin to travel back millions of years, in the Geologica ages 🙂
    (05/02 21:20:01) Korov'ev: In the Open Cave, we've completed a cycle of expeditions! We'll take the First Journey again, starting in Eder Gira. We'll see what happens when an age with invites is reset.
    (05/02 21:20:15) Korov'ev: A cursory test suggests that invites are *not* updated, and new ones have the same name. So if you have one, you may want to delete it, or you'll have to guess which one is correct 🙂
    (05/02 21:20:31) Korov'ev: The expeditions are on Sunday at 11:00 KIT, in Deep Island starting in the only hood there (use "/hood"); in the Open Cave, starting in the Fan Ages Touring Club's Hood.
    (05/02 21:20:46) ShilohOBrien: Invite roulette. Cool.
    (05/02 21:20:51) Korov'ev: There's also an (uncommented) stream: https://www.twitch.tv/korovvannoort
    (05/02 21:20:51) Calum Traveler: (Tech answer: The Nexus maintains links to orphaned instances. )
    (05/02 21:21:02) Korov'ev: More info and guidelines can be found at https://forum.guildofwriters.org/viewtopic.php?f=111&t=7140
    (05/02 21:21:08) Korov'ev: And that's all I got! Any questions?
    (05/02 21:21:13) Calum Traveler: (So yes, new invites need to be sent to the new (#) instance of the age)
    (05/02 21:21:22) PodHopper: No questions in the queue.
    (05/02 21:21:28) Ereshkigal claps her hands
    (05/02 21:21:31) Korov'ev: Yeah, the paradox is that people with invites seems to have access to the instance you deleted as long as they keep the invite 🙂

    (05/02 21:22:45) shokhootahn Rehn: As always, I have two separate announcements. One is for the D'ni Language Class and the other one is for r'Tayrtahn's Story Night.
    (05/02 21:22:57) shokhootahn Rehn: First, the language classes…
    (05/02 21:23:08) shokhootahn Rehn: There are evening classes available on weekday evenings Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, starting at 20:00, 21:00 or 22:00 KI time, depending on the student's schedule.
    (05/02 21:23:22) shokhootahn Rehn: (there already is a student scheduled for the Friday night classes)
    (05/02 21:23:35) shokhootahn Rehn: There are daytime openings on Monday through Friday, starting at either 10:00 KI time, 11:00 KI time, or 12:00 KI time, again, depending on the student's schedule. Contact me by PM to set up a day and a time, KI mail me at KI# 80428, or on Discord at r'Tayrtahn.
    (05/02 21:24:06) shokhootahn Rehn: (Discord is best)
    (05/02 21:24:14) shokhootahn Rehn: All classes are Monday through Friday, only. There are no weekend classes available.
    (05/02 21:24:22) shokhootahn Rehn: If you are going to contact me by KI-mail, please remember to include your KI #.
    (05/02 21:24:33) shokhootahn Rehn: As always, current students can find last-minute updates to class times on the left-hand imager.
    (05/02 21:24:58) shokhootahn Rehn: The Guild of Instructors' Hood will be open and public unless a class is in session.
    (05/02 21:25:07) shokhootahn Rehn: I have one request for visitors: Please do not post pellet points into the Hood imager.
    (05/02 21:25:25) shokhootahn Rehn: Are there any questions?
    (05/02 21:25:31) PodHopper: No questions in the queue.

    (05/02 21:25:44) shokhootahn Rehn: The second announcement is about r'Taytahn's Story Night.

    (05/02 21:26:23) shokhootahn Rehn: Eventually, we cover all of the books and games, as well as the three human attempts at restoration.
    (05/02 21:26:38) 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!
    (05/02 21:26:57) 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.
    (05/02 21:27:50) shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night is held in the public neighborhood of Tsahno's Hood every Saturday.
    (05/02 21:28:04) 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.
    (05/02 21:28:26) 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.
    (05/02 21:28:50) shokhootahn Rehn: Lately, it's been starting at 14:30 on AGM Saturdays. 🙂
    (05/02 21:28:58) shokhootahn Rehn: I also post changes on the left-hand imager in the hood.
    (05/02 21:29:07) 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. 🙂
    (05/02 21:29:20) shokhootahn Rehn: Minasunda is one of those members, as she runs the announcements channel on Discord.
    (05/02 21:29:29) shokhootahn Rehn: The stories are told using voice so you will need to have your speakers or headsets on.
    (05/02 21:29:48) 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. 🙂
    (05/02 21:30:18) shokhootahn Rehn: We hope to see you there!
    (05/02 21:30:24) shokhootahn Rehn: Any questions?

    (05/02 21:31:22) Calum Traveler: the schedule will be finalized and posted "Soon(tm)" im told.
    (05/02 21:31:31) Calum Traveler: (however soon that is, is Soon(tm))
    (05/02 21:31:38) Calum Traveler shrugs
    (05/02 21:31:52) Calum Traveler: i make no promises as to dates for things outside of my control
    (05/02 21:31:59) Calum Traveler: similarly…
    (05/02 21:32:01) Kahi laughs
    (05/02 21:32:03) Calum Traveler: Area Status Updates:
    (05/02 21:32:16) rarified: Calum Soon rather than Cyan Soon
    (05/02 21:32:42) IndigoMoon: 🙂
    (05/02 21:32:47) Calum Traveler: MahrnGestoy: due to the size of the area, and a wrist injury, we do expect it to take a lot longer than previously expected to make its way through the whole "Process"
    (05/02 21:33:27) caver1: ?
    (05/02 21:33:32) Calum Traveler: Jalargura(Pod56): No new updates, it should continue through unabided once other things move out of "Alpha" to "Prime."
    (05/02 21:34:02) Calum Traveler: Descent:
    (05/02 21:34:22) Calum Traveler: Due to an Earthquake several weeks ago, damage was sustained to the elevator rails in the Main Shaft Area.
    (05/02 21:34:39) Calum Traveler: we expect work will continue to shore up the rails until the very last minute of release.
    (05/02 21:35:07) Calum Traveler: you may or may not hear echoes of construction when visiting your Hood Instances at some point in the future, depending on when or if those instances ever "Catch Up" to our current work.
    (05/02 21:35:26) Calum Traveler: i'd like to remind folks that we know little about how the Hood Instances truly work and how they "update" themselves.
    (05/02 21:35:43) Calum Traveler: while Linking Books could be added to the main city and seemingly appear in hoods at the same time,
    (05/02 21:35:51) Calum Traveler: other changes seemed to either never show up, or take forever to appear.
    (05/02 21:36:01) Calum Traveler: for example: the colapse in the Kahlo Pub never migrated over,
    (05/02 21:36:12) Calum Traveler: but the Memorial Imager took years before it finally echoed over into hood instances.
    (05/02 21:36:43) Calum Traveler: we in our current era of the restoration have no clue when or if our work in Descent will carry over to the Hood instances,
    (05/02 21:36:48) Calum Traveler: HOWEVER, if they do,
    (05/02 21:37:05) Calum Traveler: you will immediately know by the fact that a barricade has been erected in the main doorway of the Rest Area tomahn,
    (05/02 21:37:22) Calum Traveler: a tarp, and a horse barrier, will block the entry, until official release.
    (05/02 21:37:35) Calum Traveler: again, i have no idea if or when this will happen for hood instances,
    (05/02 21:37:42) Calum Traveler: i dont control the bahro or whatever yeesha magic is behind it.
    (05/02 21:37:54) Kahi laughs
    (05/02 21:38:26) Calum Traveler: finally: as I mentioned at the top of the Descent section
    (05/02 21:38:58) Calum Traveler: the elevator rail sections were damaged in multiple places. we are hoping that it will be fully fixed at the time of release,
    (05/02 21:39:32) Calum Traveler: do not worry about where we're getting the supplies for it: it seems some old D'ni engineer had the foresight to leave behind a storage room near the top of the shaft full of replacement items such as button triggers, extra rail segments, and even a whole intact elevator cart
    (05/02 21:39:43) PodHopper: if not, a "free ride" will get a new meaning…
    (05/02 21:39:57) Calum Traveler: we're hoping that once the repair work is done, nobody will be able to tell the difference.
    (05/02 21:40:06) IndigoMoon laughs
    (05/02 21:40:29) Calum Traveler: Guild of Messengers Pub: I'm still waiting on some supplies to come in for the 2026 Mysterium update,
    (05/02 21:40:53) Calum Traveler: im hoping that will be ready sooner rather than later,
    (05/02 21:40:58) Calum Traveler: time is getting close!
    (05/02 21:41:27) Calum Traveler: any questions?
    (05/02 21:41:33) ScottMiller: How soon will Descent e rrelesed?
    (05/02 21:41:38) IwonK: what's the meaning of life again?
    (05/02 21:41:42) Calum Traveler: we can't say for certain, Scott,
    (05/02 21:41:48) IndigoMoon: 🙂
    (05/02 21:41:48) caver1: 42
    (05/02 21:41:51) Calum Traveler: the elevator damages pushed back our expectations,
    (05/02 21:41:53) *Jodok*: 42
    (05/02 21:42:00) ScottMiller: Can you give a bllpark figure?
    (05/02 21:42:09) Calum Traveler: im still hopeful it will be sometime this year.
    (05/02 21:42:10) ScottMiller: ballpark
    (05/02 21:42:13) IwonK: that's what I thought 😀 and thanks for the fish 🙂
    (05/02 21:42:21) Calum Traveler: but im not going to hold myself to that as a firm deadline
    (05/02 21:42:22) Emor D'ni Lap: and there could be more earthquakes at any time!
    (05/02 21:42:33) Calum Traveler: yes, the area is prone to Earthquakes.
    (05/02 21:42:49) Brooketh: are these metaphorical earthquakes
    (05/02 21:42:52) *Jodok*: It's a volcano no wonder
    (05/02 21:43:08) Calum Traveler: metaphorical, literal, what's the difference?
    (05/02 21:43:12) IndigoMoon: thanks for all the work on this, considering the danger and all
    (05/02 21:43:14) Calum Traveler: they still happen and delay things.
    (05/02 21:43:17) ScottMiller: I've been waiting years for Decent!
    (05/02 21:43:21) Calum Traveler: we all have, Scott. 🙂
    (05/02 21:43:26) Kahi laughs
    (05/02 21:43:30) philipgr: D''niquakes
    (05/02 21:43:32) Calum Traveler: we want to make sure this is done correctly, and with appropriate fanfare.
    (05/02 21:43:34) *Jodok*: We all are waiting
    (05/02 21:43:38) ScottMiller: Truw!
    (05/02 21:43:47) rarified: Be careful what you wish for…
    (05/02 21:43:48) ScottMiller: TRUE!
    (05/02 21:44:05) Calum Traveler: questions? questions…?
    (05/02 21:44:11) *Jodok*: Yes
    (05/02 21:44:16) *Jodok* wants to ask a question…
    (05/02 21:44:20) Calum Traveler: yes, Jodok?
    (05/02 21:44:28) *Jodok*: Is descent similar to the demo?
    (05/02 21:44:58) Calum Traveler: if you're referring to the "Dirt" exploration video someone posted to Youtube from, oh, the early 2000s?
    (05/02 21:44:58) *Jodok*: dIRT Demo of desent
    (05/02 21:45:11) ScottMiller: I'm more eggar for Decent than anythging else!
    (05/02 21:45:18) Calum Traveler: then in most regards youll find that it's similar,
    (05/02 21:45:29) shokhootahn Rehn cheers
    (05/02 21:45:43) Calum Traveler: but of course, that exploration video started at a different entrance location, and seemed to cut out several miles of tunnels
    (05/02 21:45:47) *Jodok*: Okay probably except for the entry which now is eder kemo right?
    (05/02 21:46:26) philipgr: Eder Gira
    (05/02 21:46:27) *Jodok*: So we will enter from the cleft/volcano? like doobes intended it to be?
    (05/02 21:46:34) Calum Traveler: i wont spoil things more than "Our dedicated link from Chiso Preniv will be from the Caldera"
    (05/02 21:46:35) *Jodok*: Yeah gira sorry
    (05/02 21:46:48) Calum Traveler: to* the caldera, rather, sorry
    (05/02 21:47:01) *Jodok*: Okay fair
    (05/02 21:47:06) *Jodok*: Thanx calum
    (05/02 21:47:12) Calum Traveler: obviously, we can't strip away your Hood links, but again, see my previous statements about instancing
    (05/02 21:47:19) rarified: You can always join the testing community 😉
    (05/02 21:47:34) Emor D'ni Lap: IF you want to TEST[
    (05/02 21:47:41) *Jodok*: i tried it on my old macbook it doesnt work
    (05/02 21:47:43) ScottMiller: how do we do that?
    (05/02 21:47:50) rarified: And don't mind spoilers
    (05/02 21:47:53) Calum Traveler: i do not recommend joining testing if you only intend to get sneak peaks of things,
    (05/02 21:48:03) IwonK: don't share spoilers too 😉
    (05/02 21:48:05) Calum Traveler: or risk getting innundated with potentially dangerous environments,
    (05/02 21:48:09) rarified: Correct. You need to work for your cookies.
    (05/02 21:48:22) Calum Traveler: we also request that people *do not* share work in progress photos online without permission
    (05/02 21:48:35) *Jodok*: Well testers should test like we saw in the videos of Summerfest
    (05/02 21:48:42) IndigoMoon: I'm kind of interested in testing, knowing what's involved
    (05/02 21:48:47) Calum Traveler: we've had a few folk posting photos of Descent on facebook,
    (05/02 21:48:52) uru348: I'd say *someone* here exemplifies what Calum just said….
    (05/02 21:49:03) Calum Traveler: the team lead, Ami, would like to request that people *do not do that*
    (05/02 21:49:09) uru348: (and not in a good way)
    (05/02 21:49:16) Calum Traveler: especially when earthquakes could damage an area leading to it looking vastly different later.
    (05/02 21:49:22) rarified: We DO insist on courtesy to the restorers.
    (05/02 21:49:41) Verna: How does one go about applying to join Testing?
    (05/02 21:49:53) Calum Traveler: again, we very much appreciate people who wish to join testing, and i'll deferr questions to that to Rarified,
    (05/02 21:50:03) Korov'ev: The bottom does look like a great location for rave parties
    (05/02 21:50:21) rarified: Go to https://foundry.openuru.org
    (05/02 21:50:23) Calum Traveler: but if all you're joining for is to get a look 'behind the curtain' and not offer us feedback? please, wait your turn.
    (05/02 21:50:45) Verna: Thank you rarified
    (05/02 21:50:47) Rex Havoc: I did Beta Test original Uru Live, Good times
    (05/02 21:50:49) rarified: Also look at the testing section of http://forums.openuru.org/
    (05/02 21:51:05) Calum Traveler: one last question.
    (05/02 21:51:08) rarified: And finally join the OU Testing discord channel.
    (05/02 21:51:08) Calum Traveler: then i have to go.
    (05/02 21:51:14) Emor D'ni Lap: testing involves making detailed observations of minute things, filing reports including images, and more
    (05/02 21:51:15) IndigoMoon: thanks rarified
    (05/02 21:51:21) PodHopper: none in my queue
    (05/02 21:51:22) *Jodok* thanks you

  • April 2026 All Guilds Meeting Summary

    April 2026 All Guilds Meeting Summary

    Here is the summary for the 192nd All Guilds Meeting, moderated by PodHopper, along with the raw and cleansed chatlogs!

    Contents

    1. Mysterium
    2. OpenUru
    3. Events in the Cavern
    4. D’ni Language Classes
    5. R’Tayrtahn’s Story Nights

    Mysterium

    ☛ Registration is now open: admission only is $30, while admission + shirt is $50. Premium registration, pin, and shirt sales will end on May 24; after that, standard registration will increase to $35 and remain open until July 1. After July 1 swag will no longer be available to pre-order; swag and registration will be available on-site as stock and capacity permits.

    ☛ For this year’s shirt, the front artwork is done by Drea and Kelly, while the back artwork is done by Drea and Ace. Suncatchers, lanyard charms and Haven themed stickers will be available as well.

    ☛ The Creativity Prompt for April–May is “Sunset“. There was only one entry for the “Sunrise” prompt for February–March, from Talashar.

    OpenUru

    ☛ Phase 1 of Descent is locked down fairly well. The area has been handed to Tweek, for his own review of lighting and detail touch-ups. Marker missions in Descent should still be playable after the update.

    Regarding Nexus access, there have been some hiccups in activating the terminals, as currently they may register a completely wrong location. In any case, Nexus registration will likely be left disabled on Phase 1.

    Descent will be released as a public area. It’s unclear at this time whether there will be private or hood instances.

    ☛ Quite a few other Ages are in the works are in the back-burner, at various levels of progress; the complete list has been recently updated.

    Events in the Cavern

    ☛ Due to Easter holiday, Skyisblu’s Cooking Session this month will be on Monday 13 at 12:00 KIT, on Twitch as usual, in the Guild of Caterers’ Hood. You can find past recipes and recordings at Skyisblu’s blog and YouTube channel.

    ☛ IwonK will host a Wonky Talk (on her Twitch channel) on Friday 17 at 15:00 KIT in the Guild of Cookies’ Hood by the heek table. This month’s topic will be “Women Characters in Games“. Feel free to suggest interesting games she could talk (and draw) about. As always, there will be cookies!

    Besides streaming, IwonK 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 working with Kefrith on an idea originating from the Mysterium Discord: a Mysterium-like online event. The work title is “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, but has prepared a few shows of her Classical Music program in advance. will be on Monday 20 at 12:00 KIT, in the Hall of Kings in Ae’gura. The theme will be “Birds“.

    ☛ Augur’s Speculative Fiction Book Club will discuss their current book, Circe by Madeline Miller, in Nezetahn(1)’s Hood’s Eder Delin, on Saturday 11 at 12:30 KIT (they had to skip March’s session). 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 two new games in the City of Dimensions: Tic-Tac-TOC and Connect Four.

    ☛ Mystitech Productions’ The Lost Art mini-episode 16a, “EVAC”, is scheduled to premiere on April 25 at 14:30 KIT.

    ☛ The Age Expeditions are hosted on the Deep Island and the Open Cave shards by Korov’ev, every Sunday at 11:00 KIT; there will be no expedition on the 12th however. There’s also an (uncommented) Twitch stream.

    In the Open Cave, they concluded the first cycle; on the 26th they will go back to the City of Dimensions, to check some new additions.

    In Deep Island, on the 19th they will visit the cubic maze of Enobmort, by J’Kla, then on May 3 they will visit some of TikiBear‘s creations.

    ☞ For a more complete list of upcoming events, check our 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.

    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.
    • Evening openings are on Monday to Thursday, at 20:00, 21:00 or 22:00 KIT, depending on the student’s schedule.
    • Daytime openings are on Monday to Friday, at 10:00, 11:00 or 12:00 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 have recently completed the stories from Myst: The Book of D’ni, and will soon begin those from Myst III: Exile. Eventually they 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 “DRC” 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 14:30 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.

    That was it for this month. Please consider donating to keep the Cavern open!

    The next All Guilds Meeting is planned for Saturday, May 2, 2026 (Leefo 10, 9682) at 13:00 KIT.

    Until then!

    (04/04 13:13:58) Brooketh: We are a friendly, social group 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.

    (04/04 13:14:09) 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.

    (04/04 13:14:17) Brooketh: We do hope to see you there!

    (04/04 13:14:25) Brooketh: Any questions?

    (04/04 13:17:28) Korov’ev: Where we’ll go on the 26th in TOC isn’t pinned down, since the cycle there is concluded. I think we’ll start by going back to the City of Dimensions 🙂

    (04/04 13:18:13) *Jodok*: some nice additions wait there 😉

    (04/04 13:18:26) Korov’ev: The expeditions are on Sunday at 11:00 KIT, starting in Deep Island’s only hood (“/hood”), and in the Fan Ages Touring Club’s Hood in the Open Cave.

    (04/04 13:20:08) ScottMiller: Oops! mean Ro! Sorry about that!

    (04/04 13:20:09) PodHopper: nothing else?

    (04/04 13:23:43) shokhootahn Rehn: I have one request for visitors: Please do not post pellet points into the Hood imager.

    (04/04 13:23:56) shokhootahn Rehn: Are there any questions?

    (04/04 13:24:02) PodHopper: No questions in queue

    (04/04 13:24:15) shokhootahn Rehn: Moving on…

    (04/04 13:24:24) shokhootahn Rehn: The second announcement is about r’Taytahn’s Story Night.

    (04/04 13:24:39) shokhootahn Rehn: Today, we will tell the eighth and final story (#82 of 104) from the novel, Myst: The Book of D’ni!

    (04/04 13:24:51) shokhootahn Rehn: Eventually, we cover all of the books and games, as well as the three human attempts at restoration.

    (04/04 13:25:07) shokhootahn Rehn: Next week, April 11th, we will begin the story from the game, Myst III: Exile.

    (04/04 13:25:21) shokhootahn Rehn: There will be no story on Saturday, April 25th, due to family obligations.

    (04/04 13:25:36) 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!

    (04/04 13:26:03) 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.

    (04/04 13:26:50) 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.

    (04/04 13:27:08) 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.

    (04/04 13:27:31) shokhootahn Rehn: Lately, it’s been starting at 14:30 on AGM Saturdays. 🙂

    (04/04 13:27:44) shokhootahn Rehn: I also post changes on the left-hand imager in the hood.

    (04/04 13:27:50) 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. 🙂

    (04/04 13:28:06) shokhootahn Rehn: Minasunda is one of those members, as she runs the announcements channel on Discord.

    (04/04 13:28:17) shokhootahn Rehn: The stories are told using voice so you will need to have your speakers or headsets on.

    (04/04 13:28:31) 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. 🙂

    (04/04 13:28:56) shokhootahn Rehn: We hope to see you there!

    (04/04 13:29:01) shokhootahn Rehn: Any questions?

    (04/04 13:32:54) Calum Traveler: on cavern related notes

    (04/04 13:33:00) Calum Traveler: i have NOT gotten the shirts in for the Pub yet

    (04/04 13:33:07) Calum Traveler: i need to poke the committee again on that

    (04/04 13:33:17) Calum Traveler: also, as an addendum to last month’s announcement

    (04/04 13:33:24) Calum Traveler: due to a communication error i made a mistake

    (04/04 13:33:27) ScottMiller: Still too far! wish it would be held at Riverside, CA or San Diego!

    (04/04 13:33:34) Calum Traveler: i said a “Cavern like” location was not actually in the Cavern,

    (04/04 13:33:40) Calum Traveler: it actually is a Cavern Location.

    (04/04 13:34:20) Calum Traveler: that area, MahrnGestoy, is the large one that will likely take some time to thoroughly test and make sure it is safe and ready.

    (04/04 13:34:49) Calum Traveler: speaking of large areas,

    (04/04 13:35:10) Calum Traveler: Descent is still moving along at pace. We’ve handed over the site to Keith “Tweek” Lord’s group,

    (04/04 13:35:30) Calum Traveler: he’s been doing his own set of review checks over the site.

    (04/04 13:35:47) ShilohOBrien is still trying to find the vaccum cleaners in Chiso.

    (04/04 13:36:00) Calum Traveler: of note, i have heard some concerns this last week regarding whether explorer made marker missions will still be usable in Descent,

    (04/04 13:36:06) IwonK: they suck, Shiloh

    (04/04 13:36:16) Calum Traveler: i need to do some final checks once Tweek is done with his checks,

    (04/04 13:36:28) Prad: Danger, vaccum.

    (04/04 13:36:28) Calum Traveler: but i believe that old marker missions should still be playable,

    (04/04 13:36:58) ShilohOBrien: I should hope so, IwonK. that’s kind of their job. 😛

    (04/04 13:37:04) Calum Traveler: as far as Nexus access, we’re still looking into activating the nexus terminals, but there’s been some small hiccups in that regard,

    (04/04 13:37:39) Calum Traveler: for example, the rest area tomahn we’re familiar with- its nexus terminal seems to have trouble registering the proper location and will either give you the right one or a completely wrong location,

    (04/04 13:38:00) Calum Traveler: that feature, if it cant be sorted out, will likely be left disabled on phase 1 release.

    (04/04 13:38:51) Calum Traveler: im looking into the possibility of sourcing one of the old Maintainer prototype Nexus facilities that isn’t being used for Descent use specifically

    (04/04 13:39:54) Calum Traveler: ill also be hopefully getting some new signs in for GoMePub and Chiso Preniv, after some questions ive had regarding management

    (04/04 13:40:15) Calum Traveler: i believe you all know the story by now, but for those who dont, to ease those questions, ill be adding “Under New Management” signs,

    (04/04 13:40:25) Calum Traveler: that’s all i have for now

    (04/04 13:40:27) Calum Traveler: any questions

    (04/04 13:40:31) Mevvah: a comment please

    (04/04 13:40:33) PodHopper: I have 1 question from Ro: will the new descent be private or public

    (04/04 13:41:01) Mevvah yields until pod’s question is answered

    (04/04 13:41:01) Calum Traveler: @Ro: How can I control whether yeesha or the bahro intervene with how you access the site?

    (04/04 13:41:32) Calum Traveler: i plan on having the access point through Chiso Preniv being public access, but i cant stop yall with using your City Books to access hood instances.

    (04/04 13:41:43) Prad: I think the descent public/private/whatsoever has been actively discussed on OpenUru recently …

    (04/04 13:41:47) Ro”Jethhe thanks you

    (04/04 13:42:02) PodHopper: No other questions in queue

    (04/04 13:42:08) Mevvah: may I

    (04/04 13:42:13) Calum Traveler: Mevvah yesw

    (04/04 13:42:13) PodHopper: yes

    (04/04 13:42:14) Calum Traveler: go ahead

    (04/04 13:42:40) Korov’ev: Someone bring Eddie, let’s see if it reaches terminal velocity 🙂

    (04/04 13:42:55) Ro”Jethhe says DOH!

    (04/04 13:42:59) Prad: lol

    (04/04 13:43:00) Calum Traveler winces at Korov’ev’s remark,

    (04/04 13:43:00) Mevvah: The request for minimizing chatter in the text chat is to keep the log more readable in the GoMe forum later. Please respact that. I say this as a “talker” myself, so I get how hard it is to keep quiet

    (04/04 13:43:01) Claidi Song starts to laugh

    (04/04 13:43:30) PodHopper: 1 more question: what is the status of ages mentioned previous meetings?

    (04/04 13:43:51) Calum Traveler: as i mentioned in the previous meeting, the large area, MahrnGestoy, will be taking a long while to get through testing.

    (04/04 13:44:00) Calum Traveler: it’s very large, and Dulcamara’s work crew is quite small.

    (04/04 13:44:28) Calum Traveler: the other area, called “Jalargura” should still be unchanged from the status of ‘probably being next to release unless something drastic happens’

    (04/04 13:45:00) Calum Traveler: Mirtahm is still suspended. Pod12 and Overflow Station are on pause while Ami’s work crew has been handling Descent,

    (04/04 13:45:06) Calum Traveler: I havent heard anything from Reischu in a while.

    (04/04 13:45:18) Calum Traveler: i got the feeling things got quite busy over there,

    (04/04 13:45:40) Calum Traveler: any other projects that are being worked on, i cannot comment at this time as i dont have any other information.

    (04/04 13:45:52) Calum Traveler: any more questions?

    (04/04 13:45:55) PodHopper: Oh and yet another one from Philip: will the bahro stone in Aegura still work (the same)?

    (04/04 13:46:05) Calum Traveler: again, how do I control the Bahro?

    (04/04 13:46:14) Calum Traveler: unless the powers on high deem things worthy of change…

    (04/04 13:46:22) Calum Traveler: i dont think that should be changing any.

    (04/04 13:46:24) IwonK: with the “sudo” command

    (04/04 13:46:29) Calum Traveler: youd have to ask Yeesha or the Maker or the Bahro.

    (04/04 13:46:39) Calum Traveler: …id wager youd only get “Skreee!” from the last one.

    (04/04 13:47:23) Calum Traveler: i can, of course, talk with the DRC about how they used to stow away bahro stones, but something tells me that wouldnt last long.

    (04/04 13:47:42) Calum Traveler: historically, that never really worked, after all.

    (04/04 13:48:06) Calum Traveler: ive got time for one more question

    (04/04 13:48:23) PodHopper is checking something out

    (04/04 13:48:27) Calum Traveler: going once….

    (04/04 13:48:30) Calum Traveler: going twice….

    (04/04 13:48:40) Calum Traveler: Sold to the Bahro in the rafters!

    (04/04 13:48:44) PodHopper: Thank you, Calum!

    (04/04 13:48:50) Calum Traveler: the answer to the question “Skree?” is “Sure thing!”

    (04/04 13:48:53) Calum Traveler bows

    (04/04 13:48:59) Prad: goigh thrice…
