December 2023 All Guilds Meeting Summary
Here is the summary for the 164th All Guilds Meeting, moderated by Claidi Song, along with the raw and cleansed chatlogs!

Contents
Mysterium

☛ There have been some minor changes to the Mysterium policies, mainly:
- heckling and shouting out during presentations will be taken more seriously: reactions and cheering are fine, but repeatedly interrupting presenters is not;
- attempts at circumventing the refund policies via charge dispute may result in a permanent ban from future events.
☛ The creativity prompt for December is “Refuge”; the deadline is the 31st. Entries for the “Found Family” prompt for November were from Tomatoes, Calum Traveler, redwoodrroad, Talashar and Rahshahth.

Events in the Cavern

☛ For December’s Cooking Sessions with Sky, on Monday 4 at 12:00 KIT in the Guild of Caterers’ Hood, Skyisblu will be making whipped shortbread, and show some easy ways to transform them into really beautiful gifts for family and friends.

Every month is something new and different, often inspired by what is in season. She also tries to answer any questions regarding the recipe she is cooking, other dishes or cuisines, and takes suggestions for future sessions. 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 15 at 15:00 KIT in the Guild of Cookies’ Hood by the heek table. This month’s topic will be Christmas games. Feel free to suggest interesting games she could talk (and draw) about. As always, there will be cookies! IwonK also made some games of her own as a year-long gamedev challenge; you can find them at her itch.io page.

☛ Babbel will host her classical music program in the Hall of Kings in Ae’gura on Monday 18 at 13:00 KIT.

☛ Minasunda outlined a few, upcoming special events:
- December 15 at 13:00 KIT: Game Music Session in the New Messengers Pub with Karel, with the theme “Music from Fortnite”; the pre-show will start at 12:45 KIT.
- December 24 at 13:00 KIT: Magic Christmas Eve;
- December 31 at 13:00 KIT: Magic New Year’s Eve. Location and details for both will be announced later, so keep an eye on the usual channels on Discord and Facebook!
- January 8 at 13:00 KIT: on the occasion of Elvis’ birthday, Eternal Seeker will play Elvis songs for two hours in the large hall in Eder Bahvahnter.
- February 10 at 12:00 KIT: the Nulp Dance Group will play on a new show, which will take place in Eder Naybree on the beach.
- February 5–10: the 14th MOULa Anniversary is coming soon, so if you have any idea for an event, it is a good time to start planning! You can contact Minasunda at any time to schedule time.
☛ Diranda, on behalf of the Guild of Authors and Artists, announced the theme of this month’s writing workshop: “Creative Prompts”. The workshop will be held on December 13 at 15:00 KIT in the New Guild of Messengers Pub. You can find more info and take part in the discussion on their website and their Discord.

☛ There will be no Town Hall in December, due to the holidays. Meanwhile, the Rei’schu Diplomacy Discord is going on its next adventure. To catch up on and read it in real time, check the #to-naybrees-mountain-ic channel; the start is in the pinned posts. The contents of the adventure will be added to a journal or series of journals here in MOULa sometime after the conclusion.

Magic Ages

Mister Magic is back with all his magical bots:
- MagicBot and MimiBot, who allow to perform magical movements and guide you in magical games specially created to have fun in the cave;
- the Fabulous Magic Treasure bots Game Master, Magic Treasure and Mimi Treasure, who will accompany you in the ten episodes of this adventure game with many hours of thought, puzzles and research to restore light to the City of Ae’gura;
- the Hidden Treasures, where you will play the role of a private detective, searching for Miss Smith’s stolen jewelry; and
- the Magic High School of Skydiving, introducing any explorer to Aerobatics with the help of Magic Skydiver and Mimi Skydiver, who will guide you on the invisible walls of the Ages in a progressive manner.
The skydiving bots took the most time, because the physics effects worked a little differently a few years ago. There are currently 46 missions and 5 certificates, plus some special missions performed by instructor skydivers. The new Ages added since 2020 will also be the subject of new skydiving missions.

More informations and all the commands of the bots can be found on the Mystpedia forum, which has an English and a French section. The magic bots also have their own channel on the MOULa Events Discord.

H’uru macOS client

Darryl Pogue gave an update on some of the recent development work happening from the H’uru team.

Firstly, thanks to some contributions from IntelSpark on the OpenUru Discord, the PlasmaMax Age creation plugin for 3DS Max now supports 3DS Max 2023 and 2024. PlasmaMax is the 3DS Max plugin written by Cyan for the creation of all their Uru content, and is available as an alternative to Blender and Korman for Age builders. You can download the PlasmaMax plugin for all versions of 3DS Max from 7 all the way to 2024.

On the macOS front, the Metal rendering system for macOS was merged in to the H’uru client earlier this week. That means it is now possible to compile and run an Uru client on macOS, for both Intel and Apple Silicon processors!

A huge thanks goes to Maccodemonkey, who spent the past two years single-handedly implementing the Metal rendering system and trying to make it match how the game looks with DirectX on Windows.

There is still some more work that has to be done before a macOS client is ready to be tested, but getting the Metal renderer merged was one of the biggest pieces and means that people can compile a mostly-working client to use for their own local testing on their own local shard (not on MOULa).

Some of the remaining macOS work is technical (handling display resolutions, handling patching) and some of it is logistical (handling Apple Developer accounts for code signing). The client is not ready yet for a beta test. Stay tuned for future announcements!

D’ni Language Classes

R’Tayrtahn gave two updates, one for the D’ni Language Classes and one for the Story Nights. Currently there are are two students taking the classes, at various stages of completion.

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.
More about the D’ni Language Classes (click to expand)
- Those who would like to attend the lessons should contact Rehn via PM or KImail (KI# 80428), or on Discord (r’Tayrtahn#1317).
- The Guild of Instructors’ Hood will be open and public unless a class is in session.
- There are daytime openings Monday to Friday, at 12:00, 13:00 or 14:00 KIT, though availability is subject to change with little or no notice;
- evening openings are on Monday, Tuesday and 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 (KI #27527) or Mimi Bot (KI #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 story from 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 😉

There will be no Story Night on December 23 as R’Tayrtahn will be traveling for the holiday; but there may be one on the 30th.
More about the Story Nights (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 (KI# 58324) a KImail with your KI number included in the text, so that he can add you to his buddies list.
Miscellanea

☛ TikiBear and Ametist will soon submit the Age of Mirtahm for testing on the Minkata shard. Time for testing!

☛ In December, the Fan Ages Expeditions in Deep Island will explore some more Ages from 2008–09: Tunnel Demo (by Nadnerb), Wianeroy (Perlenstern), ERC Age (Jennifer P., Robert The Rebuilder, Ametist, Corvus), Torilacha (Mystpedia forum); two more, Box Age (Nadnerb) and Odema (Nadnerb, concept by Yali) will have to be skipped because of a bug.

Then they will explore the works by the late Andy Legate, including Serene. After that, it will be time for the second RAD Contest entries, all Ahra Pahts shells. The month (skipping the 31st) will conclude with a few works by Whilyam.

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

The next All Guilds Meeting is planned for Saturday, January 6, 2024 (Leevosahn 4) at 13:00 KIT.

Until then!

(12/02 13:01:02) uwe leans left

(12/02 13:01:05) Claidi Song: All Guilds’ Meeting (AGM) meets from 13:00-13:55 KI on the first Saturday of each month. All KI times correspond to the Mountain Time Zone.

(12/02 13:01:14) Claidi Song: To give each speaker all the time they need, there are

(12/02 13:01:22) Claidi Song: Five Meeting Rules

(12/02 13:01:31) Claidi Song: Usually

(12/02 13:01:37) Claidi Song: However, today some agenda items need more time. So, I am suspending ALL questions until after AGM.

(12/02 13:01:43) Claidi Song: So, the three rules we will follow today? Please:

(12/02 13:01:49) Claidi Song: #1. Keep chatter to a minimum while the speakers are talking. An occasional brief comment or emote is fine, but be respectful and let the speaker finish.

(12/02 13:01:56) Claidi Song: #2. A summary and the chatlog of this meeting will be published within a few days on the Guild of Messengers’ website https://www.guildofmessengers.info/

(12/02 13:02:09) Claidi Song: To start your own chatlog type: /startlog

(12/02 13:02:16) Claidi Song: #3. I will ask for questions at the end of AGM. Please:

(12/02 13:02:21) Claidi Song: PM the speaker with questions about their presentation.

(12/02 13:02:28) Claidi Song: PM me questions for the speakers who have left earlier. I will try to get the answers in the AGM summary.

(12/02 13:02:40) Claidi Song: So what is December bringing to the Cavern?

(12/02 13:02:55) Claidi Song: First on the agenda, skyisblu has mouth watering information about her next ”Cooking with Sky”.

(12/02 13:03:02) Claidi Song beckons you

(12/02 13:03:02) Claidi Song: Please, come on up to the platform skyisblu!

(12/02 13:03:05) CaptainQuery: yum

(12/02 13:03:20) Eternal Seeker: Clap

(12/02 13:03:37) skyisblu: Hi everybody 😀

(12/02 13:03:42) skyisblu: I want to invite you all to join me this Monday, December 4th at 12 KI, for another cooking session. Since the holiday season is in full swing, I will be making one of my favorite recipes for Christmas cookies, Whipped Shortbread.

(12/02 13:04:05) skyisblu: These cookies are simple, have only 4 ingredients, and are melt-in-your-mouth delicious. Plus, I’ll show you some easy ways to transform them into really beautiful gifts for family and friends, or just to include on your holiday table.

(12/02 13:04:15) IwonK drools

(12/02 13:04:31) skyisblu: Every first Monday of the month, we meet in the Guild of Caterers’ Hood during the livestream, so if you have any questions relating to food, that’s the place to be – I try to keep up with the chatter while I am making a mess in the kitchen.

(12/02 13:04:53) rarified: Take out?

(12/02 13:04:57) skyisblu: The livestream can be found on Twitch here: https://www.twitch.tv/skyisblu_is_me , and I explain my process in both English and French. The recipes and video will also be available afterwards, as well as all the other cooking sessions, at https://cookingsessionswithsky.blogspot.com/

(12/02 13:05:04) Claidi Song starts to laugh

(12/02 13:05:12) Emor D’ni Lap: mmmmmmmbutter

(12/02 13:05:16) skyisblu: Care packages by mail, rarified ? 😉

(12/02 13:05:26) Claidi Song: I vote yes

(12/02 13:05:27) rarified: I’m down for it!

(12/02 13:05:32) skyisblu: And as always, if you have any suggestions for any future cooking sessions, any recipes you want to learn more about or see made, I am always up for a challenge 😉 I hope to see you all on Monday!

(12/02 13:05:42) Murry: Samples?

(12/02 13:05:43) Claidi Song: Thank you, skyisblu!

(12/02 13:05:53) skyisblu thanks you very much!

(12/02 13:06:06) Emor D’ni Lap applauds skyisblu

(12/02 13:06:22) Claidi Song: Next, Michel was going to tell us how the Magic Bots are adding many opportunities for fun in the Cavern.

(12/02 13:06:29) Claidi Song: Unfortunately, Michel was unable to make our later AGM time. So, I will be sharing Michel’s prepared presentation. This will be in Michel’s words.

(12/02 13:06:40) Claidi Song dons her official Michel’s representative hat

(12/02 13:06:46) Claidi Song: Hello friends of the Magic World.

(12/02 13:07:06) Claidi Song: Hello friends of the Magic World.

(12/02 13:07:12) Claidi Song: After 5 years of absence in the cave, I restarted all the bots in my magical worlds.

(12/02 13:07:20) Claidi Song: First of all, MagicBot and MimiBot, the two friends who allow you to perform magical movements and who guide you in magical games specially created to have fun in the cave.

(12/02 13:07:31) Claidi Song: Then, I was able to restart the Fabulous Magic Treasure (FMT) bots.

(12/02 13:07:45) Claidi Song: These are Game Master, Magic Treasure and Mimi Treasure.

(12/02 13:07:55) Claidi Song: These bots are the only ones that can accompany you in the 10 episodes of this adventure game.

(12/02 13:08:05) Claidi Song: They have many hours of thought, puzzles and research in store for you to restore light to the City of Ae’gura.

(12/02 13:08:19) Claidi Song: Then, I was able to restart the big game in 10 episodes: Hidden Treasures.

(12/02 13:08:27) Claidi Song: It is not only an adventure game, searching for hidden treasures but also managing the winnings obtained during this adventure.

(12/02 13:08:40) Claidi Song: In the tenth part of this game, you will even play the role of a private detective, searching for Miss Smith’s stolen jewelry!

(12/02 13:08:53) Claidi Song: Finally, I reopened the Magic High School of Skydiving (MHSS), which introduces any explorer to Aerobatics, thanks to two instructors:

(12/02 13:09:02) Claidi Song: Magic Skydiver and Mimi Skydiver.

(12/02 13:09:09) Claidi Song: They will guide you on the invisible walls of the ages, in a progressive manner.

(12/02 13:09:16) Claidi Song: They will allow you to progress at your own pace and help you get back to where you fell, in order to avoid starting the whole course from the beginning!

(12/02 13:09:23) Claidi Song: This is what takes me the most time because, as you may know, 5 years ago, physics effects were a little different from those now.

(12/02 13:09:34) Claidi Song: I therefore had to review certain jumps on invisible walls, which took a lot of time to modify the texts in French, English and German.

(12/02 13:09:40) Claidi Song: Some masker races have also been modified. Some of them were lost and I had to restore them.

(12/02 13:09:50) Claidi Song: Luckily I kept backups of all my marker sets!

(12/02 13:10:01) Claidi Song: There are currently 46 missions available as well as 5 certificates.

(12/02 13:10:13) Claidi Song: Additionally, there are some special missions performed by other instructor skydivers.

(12/02 13:10:23) Claidi Song: But I won’t stop there, because for 5 years there have been new ages created by fans, which will certainly be the subject of new Skydiving missions!

(12/02 13:10:35) Claidi Song: Additionally, it is very likely that within a few months, the physical effects in Moul:a will be replaced.

(12/02 13:10:46) Claidi Song: So, I will have to see (once again) all of the MHSS Skydiving!

(12/02 13:10:51) Claidi Song: For all commands of my bots, I advise you to go to the Mystpedia Forum which has a French section and an English part.

(12/02 13:10:59) Claidi Song: There you will find all the information concerning the games with my bots.

(12/02 13:11:05) Claidi Song: You can ask, in these places, all the questions concerning magic games.

(12/02 13:11:11) Claidi Song: In addition, I also have a section in the MoulaEvents Discord.

(12/02 13:11:19) Claidi Song: Thanks to Minasunda for giving me a place in this Discord.

(12/02 13:11:28) Claidi Song: There too you can ask me any questions regarding magic games.

(12/02 13:11:41) Claidi Song: I wish you many more magical adventures in the cave and a Merry Christmas!

(12/02 13:11:47) Claidi Song: Thank you for your attention.

(12/02 13:12:01) Eternal Seeker: Clap

(12/02 13:12:24) Lnala: \claps

(12/02 13:12:43) Ro”Jethhe: So much to do and so little time.

(12/02 13:12:56) IwonK: there is always time for cookies

(12/02 13:12:57) Claidi Song: I’d say Michel has found a way to have NPCs and interaction and competition in the Cavern! Impressive

(12/02 13:13:08) rarified: Did someone say COOKIE?!?

(12/02 13:13:10) Ro”Jethhe: Got MAGIC COOKIES?

(12/02 13:13:19) IwonK: just a cookie?

(12/02 13:13:23) IwonK passes around Magic Cookies

(12/02 13:13:26) Claidi Song: Speaking of cookies

(12/02 13:13:32) rarified Poofs.

(12/02 13:13:34) Claidi Song: IwonK is here to draw in our anticipation for her next ”Wonky Talk”.

(12/02 13:13:39) uru348 passes around Magic Milk

(12/02 13:13:43) Claidi Song beckons you

(12/02 13:13:43) Claidi Song: The stage is yours, IwonK!

(12/02 13:14:01) IwonK: I’ll be streaming my Wonky Talk on Friday, December 15th at 15 KI in the Guild of Cookies’ Hood (we sit near the heek table)

(12/02 13:14:11) IwonK: This month’s topic is “Christmas games”! I have some titles in my mind already but if you know any interesting games I could talk about (and draw), feel free to throw them my way 🙂

(12/02 13:14:23) IwonK: join me on my Twitch channel (twitch.tv/yvonk), there will be cookies 🙂

(12/02 13:14:32) IwonK: In other wonky news, I’ve made some games of my own as a gamedev challenge, if you want to check them out, follow this link: iwonk.itch.io

(12/02 13:14:38) IwonK bows

(12/02 13:14:44) Claidi Song beckons you

(12/02 13:14:44) Claidi Song: The stage is yours, IwonK!

(12/02 13:14:50) IwonK: now it’s yours 😀

(12/02 13:14:51) Claidi Song: Thank you, IwonK!

(12/02 13:15:01) Claidi Song: oops

(12/02 13:15:10) Claidi Song: Minasunda has announcements about the upcoming holidays here in the Cavern.

(12/02 13:15:22) Claidi Song beckons you

(12/02 13:15:22) Claidi Song: Welcome to the stage Mina!

(12/02 13:15:27) Minasunda says hey

(12/02 13:22:19) shokhootahn Rehn: Currently, there are are two students taking the classes, and has one more class to attend. (are at various stages of completion.)

(12/02 13:23:03) shokhootahn Rehn: I have one request for visitors: Please do not post pellet points into the Hood imager…

(12/02 13:23:13) shokhootahn Rehn: One of my former students, Yutiel, is listed on that imager. I have refrained from posting pellets to maintain her name at the top as a form of memorial.

(12/02 13:23:23) shokhootahn Rehn: Are there any questions?

(12/02 13:23:46) shokhootahn Rehn: Moving on…

(12/02 13:23:52) shokhootahn Rehn: The second announcement is about r’Taytahn’s Story Night.

(12/02 13:24:14) shokhootahn Rehn: In November, we started the story from the game, Myst IV: Revelation. There are five parts, total. Myst IV will take us through the first weekend of January. This week is story #88 of 104 in the story cycle of the history of D’ni.

(12/02 13:24:32) shokhootahn Rehn: So, there is still plenty of history to go!

(12/02 13:24:43) shokhootahn Rehn: Eventually, we will cover all of the books and games, as well as the three human attempts at the restoration of D’ni!

(12/02 13:25:07) 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. 😉

(12/02 13:25:35) shokhootahn Rehn: Currently, I am caught up with video compression. Unfortunately, I have a sizable backlog of videos to edit and upload. To my channel subscribers, please be patient; I am slowly working through it and have uploaded a few more videos to the channel. 🙂

(12/02 13:25:44) IwonK: like “hi mom, I’m on the internet!”? 😉

(12/02 13:25:52) Rex Havoc starts to laugh

(12/02 13:26:05) shokhootahn Rehn: lol

(12/02 13:26:52) shokhootahn Rehn: There will be no Story Night on December 23 as I will be traveling for the holiday. Though, at the moment, it looks like there *will* be a story on Deceember 30. 🙂

(12/02 13:27:15) shokhootahn Rehn: I also post changes on the left-hand imager in the hood.

(12/02 13:28:06) Minasunda: oops

(12/02 13:29:45) Minasunda: lol

(12/02 13:29:49) Claidi Song: I’ll continue and if shokhootahn Rehn has more he again take the stage 🙂

(12/02 13:30:30) Claidi Song: Another event we all look forward to is

(12/02 13:30:41) Rex Havoc: The addition of Restrooms?

(12/02 13:30:47) Claidi Song: It’s my keyboard, I swear!

(12/02 13:30:57) Claidi Song: ”Classic with Babbe” will be December 18, 2023 at 13 KI in the Ae’gura Hall of Kings.

(12/02 13:31:08) rarified hands Claidi Song some contact cleaner

(12/02 13:31:23) Claidi Song: She sent me word that the theme for this month is ”December Non-stop Music”.

(12/02 13:33:02) Calum Traveler: shorah all

(12/02 13:33:06) Calum Traveler: mysterium news first!

(12/02 13:33:28) Calum Traveler: first and foremost, December’s creativity prompt has been announced, and it is “Refuge”

(12/02 13:33:50) rarified: Ooooh. I can use one of those.

(12/02 13:34:16) Calum Traveler: there have been some minor changes to the Mysterium Policies, the full list of which can be found at: https://mysterium.net/policies/

(12/02 13:34:17) Calum Traveler: notably:

(12/02 13:34:32) Calum Traveler: there’s some changes around the heckling/interruption of speakers,

(12/02 13:34:49) Claidi Song: something we never do 🙂

(12/02 13:35:03) Calum Traveler: and there’s a change to policies regarding people who attempted to, *ahhem* circumvent the refund policy.

(12/02 13:35:08) IwonK whistles innocently

(12/02 13:35:36) Murry: It wasn’t me…

(12/02 13:35:45) Calum Traveler: yes, well, i know most people aren’t doing that,

(12/02 13:36:22) Calum Traveler: but some folks have pushed it as an issue, it seems, and it may result in a ban from the convention if that kind of behavior persists.

(12/02 13:36:38) Calum Traveler: OCTOBER’S PROMPT WINNERS!

(12/02 13:37:08) Calum Traveler: angelmyst’s collage and Talashar’s story were chosen as the winners for October’s prompt “Noir”

(12/02 13:37:35) Calum Traveler: ONTO TOWN HALL.

(12/02 13:37:52) Calum Traveler: TLDR: No Town Hall in December, due to holidays

(12/02 13:38:03) Calum Traveler: frankly we might as well just make that standing policy at this point 😛

(12/02 13:38:27) Claidi Song: holidays?

(12/02 13:38:33) Calum Traveler: Christmas, new years, etc.

(12/02 13:38:57) Calum Traveler: last weds of this month is the 27th,

(12/02 13:39:26) Calum Traveler: anyways, onto the big bit of stuff!

(12/02 13:40:11) Calum Traveler: this time, Runa’mei, Kura’quen, and Amara’da have joined our intrepid group of explorers for a nice sedate hike through the forests of Eder Naybree,

(12/02 13:40:32) Calum Traveler: oh, wait, what’s this? A pair of scientists seem to have been causing some trouble and may have aroused some petulant ghostly spirits!

(12/02 13:40:38) Calum Traveler starts to laugh

(12/02 13:40:43) IwonK: :>

(12/02 13:45:45) Diranda waves hello

(12/02 13:46:00) Diranda: Shorah everyone!

(12/02 13:46:16) Diranda: The Guild of Authors and Artists are now having workshops monthly! This event is open to everyone who is an artist, writer or creative type. We’re starting a monthly discussion on a variety of topics, one picked each month by the members. This month’s topic is Creative Prompts. We’re hoping this new format will be fun and inspiring for everyone! Please feel free to attend and chat with your fellow creatives!

(12/02 13:46:32) Diranda: Our meeting this month is on December 13 at 1500KI (3pm) in the New Guild of Messengers Pub.

(12/02 13:46:49) Diranda: We have our own Discord https://discord.gg/t7s24YFQCp

(12/02 13:47:06) Diranda: Our website is https://diranda.net/guildofarts/

(12/02 13:47:39) Diranda: We’re also doing our own monthly prompts in addition to the ones from Mysterium. 😀

(12/02 13:47:56) Diranda: But please feel free to visit us and chat!

(12/02 13:48:13) Diranda: That’s it from us! Thank you. 😀

(12/02 13:48:26) Emor D’ni Lap applauds

(12/02 13:48:39) Claidi Song: Thank you Diranda

(12/02 13:48:58) Claidi Song: Darryl Pogue has information for MacOS work & the 3DS Max plugin.

(12/02 13:49:04) Claidi Song beckons you

(12/02 13:49:04) Claidi Song: Welcome to the platform Darryl Pogue

(12/02 13:49:15) Darryl Pogue: !shorah biv, I’ll be quick but just wanted to give a status update on some of the recent development work happening from the H’uru team.

(12/02 13:49:23) Darryl Pogue: Firstly, thanks to some contributions from IntelSpark on Discord over the past few days, the PlasmaMax age creation plugin for 3DS Max now supports 3DS Max 2023 and 2024.

(12/02 13:49:34) Darryl Pogue: PlasmaMax is the 3DS Max plugin written by Cyan for the creation of all their Uru content, and is available as an alternative to Blender and korman for Age builders.

(12/02 13:49:43) Darryl Pogue: You can download the PlasmaMax plugin from the H’uru GitHub page, and we offer downloads from all versions ranging from 3DS Max 7 all the way to 2024.

(12/02 13:49:52) Darryl Pogue: You can find download links and information about building the H’uru client at https://h-uru.github.io/Plasma

(12/02 13:50:10) Darryl Pogue: The other very exciting bit of news is that the Metal rendering system for macOS was merged in to the H’uru client earlier this week.

(12/02 13:50:17) Darryl Pogue: That means it is now possible to compile and run an Uru client on macOS, both Intel and Apple Silicon processors! 😀

(12/02 13:50:33) Darryl Pogue: A huge thanks to maccodemonkey, who spent the past 2 years single-handedly implementing the Metal rendering system and trying to make it match how the game looks with DirectX on Windows.

(12/02 13:50:39) Ro”Jethhe is amazed!

(12/02 13:50:42) Darryl Pogue: Now, there is still some more work that has to be done before a macOS client is ready to be tested, but getting the Metal renderer merged was one of the biggest pieces and means that people can compile a mostly-working client to use for their own local testing on their own local shard — NOT on MOULa!

(12/02 13:50:52) Darryl Pogue: Some of the remaining macOS work is technical (handling display resolutions, handling patching) and some of it is logistical (handling Apple Developer accounts for code signing).

(12/02 13:51:11) Darryl Pogue: When we are ready for a beta test of the macOS client, we will announce it here and on Discord. We are not ready yet 😛

(12/02 13:51:25) Darryl Pogue: Thanks for your time, I’ll try to hang around after for a bit to answer any questions 🙂

(12/02 13:51:27) Darryl Pogue thanks you

(12/02 13:51:32) Claidi Song: Wow! That all sounds wonderful

(12/02 13:51:36) Claidi Song: Thank you, Darryl Pogue

(12/02 13:51:36) Emor D’ni Lap: Massive kudos to maccodemonkey!

(12/02 13:51:47) Emor D’ni Lap applauds dpogue

(12/02 13:51:48) Rex Havoc: Sweet

(12/02 13:51:55) Ro”Jethhe: As Steve Jobs would say, Just one more thing…

(12/02 13:52:12) IwonK: and Think Different 😉

(12/02 13:52:16) Ro”Jethhe nods his head

(12/02 13:52:20) Darryl Pogue: Aww, I should totally have led into the mac client with “and one more thing” lol

(12/02 13:52:21) Claidi Song: News from Age creators:

(12/02 13:52:28) Claidi Song: TikiBear sends word that he and ametist are ready to submit Mirtahm to testing as a ”release candidate” for MOULa.

(12/02 13:56:16) Claidi Song: Thank you to all of today’s participants! Thank you all for coming.

(12/02 13:56:21) Claidi Song: That concludes the AGM agenda for the month of December!.

(12/02 13:06:22) Claidi Song: Next, Michel was going to tell us how the Magic Bots are adding many opportunities for fun in the Cavern.
(12/02 13:06:28) Lnala claps her hands
(12/02 13:06:29) Claidi Song: Unfortunately, Michel was unable to make our later AGM time. So, I will be sharing Michel's prepared presentation. This will be in Michel's words.
(12/02 13:06:40) Claidi Song dons her official Michel's representative hat
(12/02 13:06:46) Claidi Song: Hello friends of the Magic World.
(12/02 13:07:06) Claidi Song: Hello friends of the Magic World.
(12/02 13:07:12) Claidi Song: After 5 years of absence in the cave, I restarted all the bots in my magical worlds.
(12/02 13:07:20) Claidi Song: First of all, MagicBot and MimiBot, the two friends who allow you to perform magical movements and who guide you in magical games specially created to have fun in the cave.
(12/02 13:07:31) Claidi Song: Then, I was able to restart the Fabulous Magic Treasure (FMT) bots.
(12/02 13:07:45) Claidi Song: These are Game Master, Magic Treasure and Mimi Treasure.
(12/02 13:07:55) Claidi Song: These bots are the only ones that can accompany you in the 10 episodes of this adventure game.
(12/02 13:08:05) Claidi Song: They have many hours of thought, puzzles and research in store for you to restore light to the City of Ae'gura.
(12/02 13:08:19) Claidi Song: Then, I was able to restart the big game in 10 episodes: Hidden Treasures.
(12/02 13:08:27) Claidi Song: It is not only an adventure game, searching for hidden treasures but also managing the winnings obtained during this adventure.
(12/02 13:08:40) Claidi Song: In the tenth part of this game, you will even play the role of a private detective, searching for Miss Smith's stolen jewelry!
(12/02 13:08:53) Claidi Song: Finally, I reopened the Magic High School of Skydiving (MHSS), which introduces any explorer to Aerobatics, thanks to two instructors:
(12/02 13:09:02) Claidi Song: Magic Skydiver and Mimi Skydiver.
(12/02 13:09:09) Claidi Song: They will guide you on the invisible walls of the ages, in a progressive manner.
(12/02 13:09:16) Claidi Song: They will allow you to progress at your own pace and help you get back to where you fell, in order to avoid starting the whole course from the beginning!
(12/02 13:09:23) Claidi Song: This is what takes me the most time because, as you may know, 5 years ago, physics effects were a little different from those now.
(12/02 13:09:34) Claidi Song: I therefore had to review certain jumps on invisible walls, which took a lot of time to modify the texts in French, English and German.
(12/02 13:09:40) Claidi Song: Some masker races have also been modified. Some of them were lost and I had to restore them.
(12/02 13:09:50) Claidi Song: Luckily I kept backups of all my marker sets!
(12/02 13:10:01) Claidi Song: There are currently 46 missions available as well as 5 certificates.
(12/02 13:10:13) Claidi Song: Additionally, there are some special missions performed by other instructor skydivers.
(12/02 13:10:23) Claidi Song: But I won't stop there, because for 5 years there have been new ages created by fans, which will certainly be the subject of new Skydiving missions!
(12/02 13:10:35) Claidi Song: Additionally, it is very likely that within a few months, the physical effects in Moul:a will be replaced.
(12/02 13:10:46) Claidi Song: So, I will have to see (once again) all of the MHSS Skydiving!
(12/02 13:10:51) Claidi Song: For all commands of my bots, I advise you to go to the Mystpedia Forum which has a French section and an English part.
(12/02 13:10:59) Claidi Song: There you will find all the information concerning the games with my bots.
(12/02 13:11:05) Claidi Song: You can ask, in these places, all the questions concerning magic games.
(12/02 13:11:11) Claidi Song: In addition, I also have a section in the MoulaEvents Discord.
(12/02 13:11:19) Claidi Song: Thanks to Minasunda for giving me a place in this Discord.
(12/02 13:11:28) Claidi Song: There too you can ask me any questions regarding magic games.
(12/02 13:11:41) Claidi Song: I wish you many more magical adventures in the cave and a Merry Christmas!

(12/02 13:23:13) shokhootahn Rehn: One of my former students, Yutiel, is listed on that imager. I have refrained from posting pellets to maintain her name at the top as a form of memorial.

(12/02 13:24:14) shokhootahn Rehn: In November, we started the story from the game, Myst IV: Revelation. There are five parts, total. Myst IV will take us through the first weekend of January. This week is story #88 of 104 in the story cycle of the history of D'ni.
(12/02 13:24:32) shokhootahn Rehn: So, there is still plenty of history to go!
(12/02 13:24:43) shokhootahn Rehn: Eventually, we will cover all of the books and games, as well as the three human attempts at the restoration of D'ni!
(12/02 13:25:07) 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. 😉
(12/02 13:25:35) shokhootahn Rehn: Currently, I am caught up with video compression. Unfortunately, I have a sizable backlog of videos to edit and upload. To my channel subscribers, please be patient; I am slowly working through it and have uploaded a few more videos to the channel. 🙂

(12/02 13:33:28) Calum Traveler: first and foremost, December's creativity prompt has been announced, and it is "Refuge"
(12/02 13:33:50) rarified: Ooooh. I can use one of those.
(12/02 13:34:16) Calum Traveler: there have been some minor changes to the Mysterium Policies, the full list of which can be found at: https://mysterium.net/policies/
(12/02 13:34:17) Calum Traveler: notably:
(12/02 13:34:32) Calum Traveler: there's some changes around the heckling/interruption of speakers,
(12/02 13:34:49) Claidi Song: something we never do 🙂
(12/02 13:35:03) Calum Traveler: and there's a change to policies regarding people who attempted to, *ahhem* circumvent the refund policy.
(12/02 13:35:08) IwonK whistles innocently
(12/02 13:35:36) Murry: It wasn't me…
(12/02 13:35:45) Calum Traveler: yes, well, i know most people aren't doing that,
(12/02 13:36:22) Calum Traveler: but some folks have pushed it as an issue, it seems, and it may result in a ban from the convention if that kind of behavior persists.
(12/02 13:36:38) Calum Traveler: OCTOBER'S PROMPT WINNERS!
(12/02 13:37:08) Calum Traveler: angelmyst's collage and Talashar's story were chosen as the winners for October's prompt "Noir"
(12/02 13:37:35) Calum Traveler: ONTO TOWN HALL.
(12/02 13:37:52) Calum Traveler: TLDR: No Town Hall in December, due to holidays
(12/02 13:38:03) Calum Traveler: frankly we might as well just make that standing policy at this point 😛
(12/02 13:38:27) Claidi Song: holidays?
(12/02 13:38:33) Calum Traveler: Christmas, new years, etc.
(12/02 13:38:57) Calum Traveler: last weds of this month is the 27th,
(12/02 13:39:26) Calum Traveler: anyways, onto the big bit of stuff!

(12/02 13:40:11) Calum Traveler: this time, Runa'mei, Kura'quen, and Amara'da have joined our intrepid group of explorers for a nice sedate hike through the forests of Eder Naybree,
(12/02 13:40:25) Rex Havoc claps his hands
(12/02 13:40:32) Calum Traveler: oh, wait, what's this? A pair of scientists seem to have been causing some trouble and may have aroused some petulant ghostly spirits!
(12/02 13:40:38) Calum Traveler starts to laugh
(12/02 13:40:43) IwonK: :>
(12/02 13:41:13) Calum Traveler: you can find the Rei'schu Diplomacy Discord here: https://discord.gg/q3gEnrD6

(12/02 13:41:51) Calum Traveler: the start of the adventure is in the pinned posts! 😉
(12/02 13:41:56) Murry: OOOOOOOOOOooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhh…
(12/02 13:42:20) Calum Traveler: as like last time, I'll have the contents of this adventure added to a journal or series of journals here in URU sometime after the adventure completes 🙂

(12/02 13:49:15) Darryl Pogue: !shorah biv, I'll be quick but just wanted to give a status update on some of the recent development work happening from the H'uru team.
(12/02 13:49:17) Lnala claps her hands
(12/02 13:49:18) ural claps his hands
(12/02 13:49:19) Ro"Jethhe claps his hands
(12/02 13:49:23) Darryl Pogue: Firstly, thanks to some contributions from IntelSpark on Discord over the past few days, the PlasmaMax age creation plugin for 3DS Max now supports 3DS Max 2023 and 2024.
(12/02 13:49:34) Darryl Pogue: PlasmaMax is the 3DS Max plugin written by Cyan for the creation of all their Uru content, and is available as an alternative to Blender and korman for Age builders.
(12/02 13:49:43) Darryl Pogue: You can download the PlasmaMax plugin from the H'uru GitHub page, and we offer downloads from all versions ranging from 3DS Max 7 all the way to 2024.
(12/02 13:49:52) Darryl Pogue: You can find download links and information about building the H'uru client at https://h-uru.github.io/Plasma
(12/02 13:50:10) Darryl Pogue: The other very exciting bit of news is that the Metal rendering system for macOS was merged in to the H'uru client earlier this week.
(12/02 13:50:17) Darryl Pogue: That means it is now possible to compile and run an Uru client on macOS, both Intel and Apple Silicon processors! 😀
(12/02 13:50:33) Darryl Pogue: A huge thanks to maccodemonkey, who spent the past 2 years single-handedly implementing the Metal rendering system and trying to make it match how the game looks with DirectX on Windows.
(12/02 13:50:39) Ro"Jethhe is amazed!
(12/02 13:50:42) Darryl Pogue: Now, there is still some more work that has to be done before a macOS client is ready to be tested, but getting the Metal renderer merged was one of the biggest pieces and means that people can compile a mostly-working client to use for their own local testing on their own local shard — NOT on MOULa!
(12/02 13:50:52) Darryl Pogue: Some of the remaining macOS work is technical (handling display resolutions, handling patching) and some of it is logistical (handling Apple Developer accounts for code signing).
(12/02 13:51:11) Darryl Pogue: When we are ready for a beta test of the macOS client, we will announce it here and on Discord. We are not ready yet 😛
(12/02 13:51:25) Darryl Pogue: Thanks for your time, I'll try to hang around after for a bit to answer any questions 🙂
(12/02 13:51:27) Darryl Pogue thanks you
(12/02 13:51:32) Ro"Jethhe claps his hands
(12/02 13:51:32) Claidi Song: Wow! That all sounds wonderful

(12/02 13:52:16) Ro"Jethhe nods his head
(12/02 13:52:20) Darryl Pogue: Aww, I should totally have led into the mac client with "and one more thing" lol
(12/02 13:52:21) Claidi Song: News from Age creators:

3 December 2023
November 2023 All Guilds Meeting Summary
Here is the summary for the 163rd All Guilds Meeting, moderated by Claidi Song, along with the raw and cleansed chatlogs!

Contents
Mysterium

☛ In Addition to co-chairing this year, Annacat is once again managing the Writing & Artwork Table submissions. The Committee has decided to add a limit of five pages for any printouts to save trees and wallets. If your piece is longer you may wish to direct people to a website or other location where they can read the full text.

☛ The creativity prompt for November is “Found Family”; the deadline is November 30. Entries for the “Noir” prompt for October were from Angelmyst, Redwoodrroad, Calum Traveler, Talashar, Diranda, Tomatoes.

Events in the Cavern

☛ For November’s Cooking Sessions with Sky, on Monday 6 at 12:00 KIT in the Guild of Caterers’ Hood, Skyisblu will try her hand at homemade pierogi, Polish dumplings filled with a mix of mashed potatoes and cheese, boiled and fried, sometimes topped with sour cream.

Every month is something new and different, a lot of times inspired by what is coming from Skyisblu’s garden, or what is in season in her corner of the world. She also tries to answer any questions regarding the recipe she is cooking, other dishes or cuisines, and takes suggestions for future sessions.

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 horror games. Feel free to suggest interesting games she could talk (and draw) about. As always, there will be cookies!

IwonK also made some games of her own as a year-long gamedev challenge; you can find them at her itch.io page.

☛ Babbel will host her classical music program in the Hall of Kings in Ae’gura on Monday 20 at 12:00 KIT.

OpenUru

☛ Rarified gave a brief comment about the update schedule for MOULa. The Q2/Q3 2023 update has passed testing! On Monday 6 an announcement should be posted in the Cyan Discord server (probably #moula-announcements), with more info about the date of the update. Many items are included in this update: most fan Ages have received some tweaks, and many technical glitches, including very old ones, have been fixed. One new area will eventually be open for exploration (more info below).

Rarified has now started to tackle a task that has been put off for years: the merger of the existing MOULa client with the modern H’uru client that the Guild of Writers team has been working on for a decade. They will start with an entirely new Minkata shard, which probably will not go live before 3–4 weeks from now.

The new shard will likely only have a duplicate of the H’uru client, where contributors can begin to explore how their materials interact with the new client. Behind the scenes, Rarified has a list of changes he thinks are needed for more casual users to access MOULa with the same ease.

They will also start working on a single Uru installation that can be used to access most (MOUL-based) shards, without a separate installation for each. That will of course depend on shard operators agreeing that the client can and will be used, but the capability will be there to select a shard at the time you launch Uru. At start it will likely be MOULa and the Minkata shards. Deep Island is very unlikely to be included, being based on the offline game, and neither will be The Open Cave, which is currently unmaintained and requires a specific set of older game files to work.

Editor’s note: there have been a few attempts at a “multishard” client in the past, most notably Untìl Uru had a unified launcher for the various independent shards. More recently but less successfully, the Atlantis shard made an attempt at unifying the MOUL-based shard login.

☛ Christopher Therburg announced that the Fall of D’ni Memorial Island (Bahn’tefoonet in D’ni) is finally ready. There will be an opening ceremony in Chiso Preniv, soon after the release of the update. He, and possibly Tweek, will give a tour of the island; after that, a minute of silence will be observed to commemorate the D’ni who died at the hand of A’gaeris.

Christopher has further plans to make some small changes to the island and the memorial itself so that it will be preserved and being in a good shape for a long time. He will soon add telescopes near the docks at a later date, for closer views of certain D’ni islands and Ae’gura itself.

How to be a tester (click to expand)

To be a tester, you will need to open an account on the Minkata prime shard; it is highly recommended to read the Tester’s Guide to understand what is expected. To test the cutting edge additions, you can sign up for the Minkata alpha shard.

To report bugs, you can post on the OpenUru Discord server (channels #hood or #dev); on Discord you can ask to be added to the Testers role to be notified of testing requests, which sometimes need quick response in terms of hours, not days.

D’ni Language Classes

R’Tayrtahn gave two updates, one for the D’ni Language Classes and one for the Story Nights. The Guild of Instructors has lost one of their own: Guild Master shokhootahn shen, aka shenendoah or Kathleen, passed away late last month.

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.
More about the D’ni Language Classes (click to expand)
- Those who would like to attend the lessons should contact Rehn via PM or KImail (KI# 80428), or on Discord (r’Tayrtahn#1317).
- The Guild of Instructors’ Hood will be open and public unless a class is in session.
- There are daytime openings Monday to Friday, at 12:00, 13:00 or 14:00 KIT, though availability is subject to change with little or no notice;
- evening openings are on Monday to Friday, 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 (KI #27527) or Mimi Bot (KI #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 telling the story from Myst III: Exile. After that, they will begin the story from 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 😉
More about the Story Nights (click to expand)

(11/04 13:03:12) Claidi Song: All Guilds’ Meeting (AGM) meets from 13:00-13:55 KI on the first Saturday of each month. All KI times correspond to the Mountain Time Zone.

(11/04 13:03:20) Claidi Song: To give each speaker all the time they need and have time for Q&A after each one, there are

(11/04 13:03:26) Claidi Song: Five Meeting Rules. Please:

(11/04 13:03:33) Claidi Song: 1. Keep chatter to a minimum while the speakers are talking. An occasional comment or emote is fine, but be respectful and let the speaker finish.

(11/04 13:03:40) Claidi Song: 2. Save questions until the speaker asks for questions at the end of their presentation.

(11/04 13:03:53) Claidi Song: Or DM questions to me to add to the questions queue for Q&A.

(11/04 13:04:01) Claidi Song: 3. Speakers: please indicate when you are ready for questions, and when you’re ready for the next question.

(11/04 13:04:09) Claidi Song: 4. If a question requires a long answer, we may need to skip it to stay on track. In that case, please, PM the speaker after they’ve left the platform.

(11/04 13:04:15) Claidi Song: 5. A summary and the chatlog of this meeting will be published within a few days on the Guild of Messengers’ website – https://www.guildofmessengers.info/

(11/04 13:04:21) Claidi Song: Of course, you can start your own chatlog by typing: /startlog

(11/04 13:04:29) Claidi Song: I hope everyone enjoys the news and has a good time here in AGM today!

(11/04 13:04:38) Claidi Song: So what are some of the events coming up this month in the Cavern?

(11/04 13:04:44) judyg: You forgot the most important rule #6 Do NOT press the blue button

(11/04 13:04:44) Claidi Song: First on the agenda, skyisblue has delicious information about her next Cooking with Sky show.

(11/04 13:04:56) Claidi Song beckons you

(11/04 13:04:56) Claidi Song: Please, come on up to the platform skyisblue!

(11/04 13:05:26) skyisblu: Hi everybody 😀

(11/04 13:05:37) skyisblu: I just wanted to let you know that I am hosting another of my cooking sessions this coming Monday, November 6th at 12 KI. That’s in 2 days 😉 This month, I am taking on a challenge – I am sharing a recipe that I only just learned myself. I am trying my hand at making homemade pierogi.

(11/04 13:05:51) Cave woman: Bon Jour

(11/04 13:05:55) skyisblu: 🙂

(11/04 13:05:56) IwonK: 😀

(11/04 13:06:05) skyisblu: Now, if you don’t know what pierogi are, they are Polish dumplings, filled with a mix of mashed potatoes and cheese, boiled and then fried, and sometimes served topped with sour cream and other tasty things.

(11/04 13:06:21) judyg: yum

(11/04 13:06:26) Maurus is hungry…

(11/04 13:06:32) skyisblu: In my opinion, they make for a great big delicious bowl of comfort, and if you are willing to put in the work, you can make a bunch of them and freeze the extra for another time 🙂

(11/04 13:06:54) skyisblu: Every first Monday of the month, we meet in the Guild of Caterers’ Hood during the livestream, so if you have any questions relating to food, that’s the place to be – I try to keep up with the chatter while I am making a mess in the kitchen.

(11/04 13:07:18) skyisblu: The livestream can be found on Twitch here: https://www.twitch.tv/skyisblu_is_me , and I explain my process in both English and French. The recipes and video will also be available afterwards, as well as all the other cooking sessions, at https://cookingsessionswithsky.blogspot.com/

(11/04 13:07:46) skyisblu: And as always, if you have any suggestions for any future cooking sessions, any recipes you want to learn more about or see made, I am always up for a challenge 😉 I hope to see you all on Monday!

(11/04 13:08:09) skyisblu: Any questions?

(11/04 13:08:12) Claidi Song: No questions in the queue, that I caught anyway

(11/04 13:08:29) skyisblu: Awesome 🙂 Thanks everyone!

(11/04 13:08:32) Claidi Song: Thank you, skyisblue!

(11/04 13:08:33) skyisblu bows

(11/04 13:08:51) Claidi Song: Next, IwonK is here to talk about her up-coming Wonky Talk.

(11/04 13:08:56) Claidi Song beckons you

(11/04 13:08:56) Claidi Song: The stage is yours, IwonK!

(11/04 13:09:00) rarified: Cookie!!

(11/04 13:09:01) judyg: yay!

(11/04 13:09:11) IwonK: I’ll be streaming my Wonky Talk on Friday, November 17th at 15 KI in the Guild of Cookies’ Hood (we sit near the heek table)

(11/04 13:09:26) IwonK: This month’s topic is “horror games”! I have some titles in my mind already but if you know any interesting games I could talk about (and draw), feel free to throw them my way 🙂

(11/04 13:09:38) IwonK: join me on my Twitch channel (twitch.tv/yvonk), there will be cookies 🙂

(11/04 13:09:50) IwonK: In other wonky news, I’ve made some games of my own as a gamedev challenge, if you want to check them out, follow this link: iwonk.itch.io

(11/04 13:09:50) skyisblu: Truth 😀

(11/04 13:10:02) IwonK: any Qs in the Q? 🙂

(11/04 13:10:07) Claidi Song: No questions in the queue

(11/04 13:10:10) IwonK bows

(11/04 13:10:16) Claidi Song: Thank you, IwonK!

(11/04 13:10:27) judyg: short and sweet. that’s IwonK

(11/04 13:10:27) Prad: respect the marbles and cones in the cookies hood during the streams

(11/04 13:10:30) Claidi Song: Babbel sends word that her next Classics with Babbel will be on November 20 at 12 KI.

(11/04 13:10:31) IwonK: 😀

(11/04 13:10:37) Claidi Song: Theme is not yet known.

(11/04 13:10:41) Claidi Song: Whatever music she chooses, one thing for sure, it will be lovely.

(11/04 13:10:52) Claidi Song: shokhootahn Rehn is here to keep us current on his Story Night and D’ni Language Classes.

(11/04 13:10:57) Claidi Song beckons you

(11/04 13:10:57) Claidi Song: Welcome to the platform shokhootahn Rehn!

(11/04 13:11:28) 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.

(11/04 13:11:40) shokhootahn Rehn: First, the language classes…

(11/04 13:11:51) shokhootahn Rehn: There are evening classes available on weekday evenings on Tuesday through Friday starting at 20:00, 21:00 or 22:00 KI time, depending on the student’s schedule. There are daytime openings starting at either 12:00 KI time, 13:00 KI time, or 14:00 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#1317.

(11/04 13:12:08) shokhootahn Rehn: Sorry, Monday through Friday

(11/04 13:12:27) shokhootahn Rehn: All classes are Monday through Friday, only. There are no weekend classes available.

(11/04 13:12:50) shokhootahn Rehn: Though, daytime availability is subject to change with little or no notice.

(11/04 13:13:03) shokhootahn Rehn: If you are going to contact me by KI-mail, remember to inclue your KI #.

(11/04 13:13:21) shokhootahn Rehn: As always, current students can find last-minute updates to class times on the left-hand imager.

(11/04 13:13:51) shokhootahn Rehn: Now for some sad news. The Guild of Instructors has lost one of its own, last month. Guild Master shokhootahn shen (aka shenendoah and Kathleen) passed away, late last month. She will be missed by all who knew her.

(11/04 13:14:16) Calum Traveler: 🙁

(11/04 13:14:46) judyg: 🙁

(11/04 13:14:49) skyisblu: 🙁

(11/04 13:14:49) IwonK: 🙁

(11/04 13:14:56) ShilohOBrien: ;(

(11/04 13:14:58) Diranda: 🙁

(11/04 13:14:58) Christopher Therburg: 🙁

(11/04 13:15:02) shokhootahn Rehn: She as in the very first class I taught, back in 2008.

(11/04 13:15:05) ural: 🙁

(11/04 13:15:14) Claidi Song: Oh, that’s so sad. We will miss her

(11/04 13:15:49) shokhootahn Rehn: The Guild of Instructors’ Hood will be open and public unless a class is in session.

(11/04 13:16:13) Claidi Song: I’m sure it will

(11/04 13:16:24) shokhootahn Rehn: I have one request for visitors: Please do not post pellet points into the Hood imager…

(11/04 13:16:47) shokhootahn Rehn: One of my former students, Yutiel, is listed on that imager. I have refrained from posting pellets to maintain her name at the top as a form of memorial. It’s why I haven’t posted pellet points above 168345: it was to keep her name at the top of the list.

(11/04 13:17:07) shokhootahn Rehn: She was a great student and became a close friend in the process.

(11/04 13:17:18) shokhootahn Rehn: She was another explorer who left us way too soon.

(11/04 13:17:32) shokhootahn Rehn: Are there any questions?

(11/04 13:18:00) Claidi Song: No questions in the queue

(11/04 13:18:03) shokhootahn Rehn: Moving on…

(11/04 13:18:09) shokhootahn Rehn: The second announcement is about r’Taytahn’s Story Night.

(11/04 13:18:22) shokhootahn Rehn: In October, we started the story from the game, Myst III: Exile. There are three parts, total. We will finish off the month by starting the story from the game, Myst IV: Revelation. This week is story #84 of 104 in the story cycle of the history of D’ni.

(11/04 13:18:36) Prad: maybe next game update one will be able to ‘freeze’ pellet scores for memorial purposes

(11/04 13:18:53) shokhootahn Rehn: So, there is still plenty of history to go!

(11/04 13:19:01) shokhootahn Rehn: There’s an idea, Prad!

(11/04 13:19:10) shokhootahn Rehn: Eventually, we will cover all of the books and games, as well as the three human attempts at the restoration of D’ni!

(11/04 13:19:35) shokhootahn Rehn: I am recording Story Night for (eventual) upload to my YouTube channel (r’Tayrtahn). 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. 😉

(11/04 13:20:13) shokhootahn Rehn: oops, it’s rTayrtahn (no apostrophe)

(11/04 13:20:36) shokhootahn Rehn: Currently, I am caught up with video compression. Unfortunately, I have a sizable backlog of videos to edit and upload. To my channel subscribers, please be patient; I am slowly working through it and have uploaded a few more videos to the channel. 🙂

(11/04 13:21:05) shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night is held in the public neighborhood of Tsahno’s Hood every Saturday.

(11/04 13:21:20) 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.

(11/04 13:21:41) 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 14:00 KI or 30 minutes after the AGM, whichever is later.

(11/04 13:22:09) shokhootahn Rehn: I also post changes on the left-hand imager in the hood.

(11/04 13:22:25) 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. 🙂

(11/04 13:22:38) shokhootahn Rehn: Minasunda is one of those members, as she runs the announcements channel on Discord.

(11/04 13:22:51) shokhootahn Rehn: The stories are told using voice so you will need to have your speakers or headsets on.

(11/04 13:23:02) 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. 🙂

(11/04 13:23:34) shokhootahn Rehn: We hope to see you there!

(11/04 13:23:39) shokhootahn Rehn: Any questions?

(11/04 13:23:42) Claidi Song: No questions in the queue

(11/04 13:23:49) shokhootahn Rehn bows

(11/04 13:24:04) Claidi Song: Thank you, shokhootahn Rehn!

(11/04 13:24:51) Claidi Song: Moving on to another topic, Calum has news about Mysterium activities to share.

(11/04 13:24:58) Claidi Song beckons you

(11/04 13:24:58) Claidi Song: Calum come on up!

(11/04 13:32:27) rarified: The Q2/Q3 2023 update has passed testing!

(11/04 13:32:48) Calum Traveler grins

(11/04 13:32:57) rarified: I’m told on Monday there will be an announcement in the Cyan Discord server, probably on

(11/04 13:33:18) rarified: #moula-announcements, as to the date the update will be installed.

(11/04 13:33:35) rarified: It will be Soon. The “real” soon. 🙂

(11/04 13:33:40) Prad: lol

(11/04 13:33:47) IwonK: Soon (TM)

(11/04 13:33:47) Claidi Song: klol

(11/04 13:33:49) skyisblu: 😀

(11/04 13:33:53) Calum Traveler laughs

(11/04 13:34:04) ShilohOBrien: Are you suddenly Aslan?

(11/04 13:34:07) rarified: I sensed that the contributors, testers, and all others involved in this release are

(11/04 13:34:23) rarified: as weary as I am, but also as excited. It’s been a long year.

(11/04 13:34:31) Prad: Aslan from D’narnia?

(11/04 13:34:33) Calum Traveler: that it has.

(11/04 13:34:48) skyisblu: but a fruitful one 😀

(11/04 13:35:02) rarified: My sincere thanks to everyone involved in getting this release out the door.

(11/04 13:35:09) Emor D’ni Lap thanks everyone involved in the content, code and testing for the update…it’s an enormous and unseen undertaking behind the scenes

(11/04 13:35:14) rarified: Please give a round of applause for them!

(11/04 13:36:06) rarified: Soooo… there are many items in the update. Most fan ages have received some form of

(11/04 13:36:30) rarified: update. Many technical glitches, including very old ones have been fixed.

(11/04 13:36:51) rarified: And one new area will eventually be open for exploration. I’ll leave it

(11/04 13:37:00) rarified: to the author to announce that.

(11/04 13:37:10) Christopher Therburg: 🙂

(11/04 13:37:17) rarified: Now, to the future…

(11/04 13:37:57) rarified: Artists/contributors will be continuing to work with their art. But I’m going to undertake

(11/04 13:38:22) rarified: a task that has been put off for years. The merger of the existing MOULa client with

(11/04 13:38:43) rarified: the modern development the H’uru GoW team has had underway for a decade.

(11/04 13:39:12) rarified: This is going to take a while. We’re going to start with an entirely new testing Minkata

(11/04 13:39:27) Claidi Song: oops

(11/04 13:39:38) Anatheia: 0_0

(11/04 13:39:40) rarified: shard, and I’m not sure it’s going to be live before 3-4 weeks from now as I

(11/04 13:39:43) Prad: cool

(11/04 13:39:46) shokhootahn Rehn: O.O

(11/04 13:39:53) Christopher Therburg: O.O

(11/04 13:40:01) IwonK: ^_^

(11/04 13:40:05) Thumbs up from Calum Traveler

(11/04 13:40:07) Maurus grins

(11/04 13:40:08) ural: Wow

(11/04 13:40:15) rarified: work through logistical tasks to address vastly different build processes we are using.

(11/04 13:40:39) rarified: Once the shard goes live, it will likely only have a duplicate of the H’uru client, where

(11/04 13:40:41) Ro”Jethhe wishes enders could be with us now.

(11/04 13:40:50) Claidi Song: oh yes!

(11/04 13:41:09) rarified: contributors can begin to explore how their materials interact with the new client.

(11/04 13:41:40) rarified: Behind the scenes, I have a list of changes I feel are needed for more casual users

(11/04 13:42:06) rarified: to access MOULa with the same ease. So there will be some changes, but nothing

(11/04 13:42:19) rarified: that diminishes the core work H’uru has put in these many years.

(11/04 13:42:47) Calum Traveler: i know it’s work ill be eager to run through.

(11/04 13:42:55) rarified: As a tease, on my wishlist: A single Uru installation that can be used to access

(11/04 13:43:10) rarified: most shards, without a separate installation for each.

(11/04 13:43:21) skyisblu: OOOoooh

(11/04 13:43:28) rarified: Of course that will depend on shard operators agreeing that the client can and will

(11/04 13:43:34) ural: Wow!!!! at last

(11/04 13:43:37) Maurus: (Grins) That’s huge.

(11/04 13:43:40) CaptainQuery: 🙂

(11/04 13:43:46) rarified: be used, but the capability will be there to select a shard at the time you launch Uru.

(11/04 13:43:56) IwonK: :))

(11/04 13:44:08) Prad: H’Uru is the way to go to have multi platform support in the end (Windows, Mac, Linux)…

(11/04 13:44:11) Diranda: Neat!

(11/04 13:44:14) rarified: This work will take a while. Probably more that one release will happen before

(11/04 13:44:27) rarified: this client makes it to MOULa. But the work is beginning.

(11/04 13:44:54) rarified: Testing is going to be brutal for this, as every single age will need to have changes

(11/04 13:44:54) BIG thumbs up from Calum Traveler

(11/04 13:45:02) rarified: to work with the updated client.

(11/04 13:45:25) rarified: So there will be times I (and others) put out a call for help on Discord or here

(11/04 13:45:48) rarified: for people who can spend time to help with testing and reporting.

(11/04 13:45:51) Anatheia: Wow, wow, wow!

(11/04 13:45:56) Thumbs up from skyisblu

(11/04 13:45:56) Anatheia: So exciting!

(11/04 13:46:03) Christopher Therburg: Very nice.

(11/04 13:46:16) rarified: Ok. That’s all the words I have, I have to suck air for a moment.

(11/04 13:46:26) rarified: Questions?

(11/04 13:46:34) Claidi Song: Several

(11/04 13:46:35) Maurus: You’re the MAN Rarified!

(11/04 13:46:42) Claidi Song: Emor: please, Remind everyone how to view the list of updated items

(11/04 13:46:53) ural: how tough is it to swich?

(11/04 13:46:59) CaptainQuery claps

(11/04 13:47:00) Emor D’ni Lap: Profuse thanks for this undertaking, rarified

(11/04 13:47:05) rarified: Let’s get through the Q first ural.

(11/04 13:47:24) ural: Oops

(11/04 13:47:30) Claidi Song: Emor: please, Remind everyone how to view the list of updated items

(11/04 13:47:54) rarified leans right

(11/04 13:48:08) rarified: You mentioned several questions, Claidi Song?

(11/04 13:48:13) Claidi Song leans left

(11/04 13:48:18) Claidi Song leans right

(11/04 13:48:27) Theo: I would expect major issues if a single client is to include both everything here and everything in the Deep Island shard.

(11/04 13:48:29) IwonK leans wrong

(11/04 13:48:32) Claidi Song: Theo: Minkata Beta

(11/04 13:48:44) Claidi Song: That may need some context, Theo

(11/04 13:49:07) Calum Traveler: i think the ‘every shard’ ideal would only work with MOULa-type shards,

(11/04 13:49:11) Calum Traveler: DI is CC based, isn’t it?

(11/04 13:49:17) rarified: Yes? Alpha will still exist. For the time being Prime and Alpha will be MOULa clients.

(11/04 13:49:25) Theo: Testing Shard for H’uru compatibility will have to be named something.

(11/04 13:49:32) Calum Traveler: iirc its Minkata Delta?

(11/04 13:49:41) rarified: NextGen will be the new client, and initially it will have an internal client.

(11/04 13:50:00) rarified: … new “Shard”!

(11/04 13:50:31) rarified: Next?

(11/04 13:50:32) Claidi Song: I’m sorry I don’t seem to be getting the hang of these questions. Please one at a time address Qs to rarified

(11/04 13:50:56) rarified: ural, you had one?

(11/04 13:51:17) Claidi Song: Then Emor’s comment

(11/04 13:51:24) Claidi Song: Then Theo

(11/04 13:51:29) Claidi Song: Then Caver1

(11/04 13:51:38) Claidi Song: Then ural

(11/04 13:51:50) rarified is checking something out

(11/04 13:51:54) Emor D’ni Lap: just wanted to make sure everyone knew how to view the items in each update

(11/04 13:52:08) Claidi Song: Oh, Ural ask the Age Players 🙂

(11/04 13:52:13) Calum Traveler: Patch Notes, Emor?

(11/04 13:52:15) rarified: There are two ways Emor D’ni Lap

(11/04 13:52:22) Emor D’ni Lap: wrench icon, then “Release Notes” button

(11/04 13:52:34) rarified: On the Cyan discord announcements channel, Chogon will post the changes.

(11/04 13:52:54) rarified: Then, in-game, if you bring up the “settings” (wrench) window, you can

(11/04 13:53:04) rarified: click on “release notes” to see the changes.

(11/04 13:53:14) Emor D’ni Lap nods his head

(11/04 13:53:31) rarified: Next?

(11/04 13:53:58) rarified: Theo, anything else?

(11/04 13:53:58) Claidi Song: Ural

(11/04 13:53:59) Theo: What difficulties must be overcome to include both Dusty’s UAM Shard and Adam’s TrollLand Shard?

(11/04 13:54:06) ural: How will do the install got 3 folders

(11/04 13:54:26) ShilohOBrien has to go and waves bye.

(11/04 13:54:27) rarified: I can’t yet speak to Dusty’s shard, having no experience with it.

(11/04 13:54:40) ural: 1 moula, 2. minkata prima, 3 minkata alpha

(11/04 13:54:47) Claidi Song: Bye Shiloh TC

(11/04 13:54:56) rarified: Trollland, if it uses the H’uru client unaltered, will be able to be configured into the single install.

(11/04 13:55:14) ural: Oops

(11/04 13:55:19) Emor D’ni Lap: TrollLand has specific, limited purposes and should not be included

(11/04 13:55:26) Cave woman: I will have to attend a funeral. /wavebye

(11/04 13:55:32) philipgr: Will TOC be included?

(11/04 13:55:41) shokhootahn Rehn: tc Cw

(11/04 13:55:52) Claidi Song: I’m sorry Cavewoman TC

(11/04 13:55:53) rarified: Probably not. I don’t think TOC’s client has tracked either fork of development.

(11/04 13:56:19) Calum Traveler: TOC requires very outdated copies of MOULa’s files to even run at this point

(11/04 13:56:22) shokhootahn Rehn: PLus, TOC is no longer being updated

(11/04 13:56:31) rarified: We will, of course, with the updated client have to work with all Bot owners to get

(11/04 13:56:36) rarified: them up and running.

(11/04 13:57:08) Theo: Both TOC’s version of DI and the original clients are huge, maybe three times the size of MOULa.

(11/04 13:57:22) Darryl Pogue: I think rarified mentioned at the start, it will depend on shards to opt-in to being included, so it’s probably too early to confirm or deny inclusion of any particular shard except Minkata

(11/04 13:57:31) Calum Traveler: yeah,

(11/04 13:57:31) Theo: Well, if you update them completely.

(11/04 13:57:32) rarified: Correct.

(11/04 13:57:33) Calum Traveler: that,

(11/04 13:57:34) Calum Traveler: dotgif

(11/04 13:58:02) Claidi Song: Anyone’s question gone unanswered?

(11/04 13:58:05) rarified: caver1 you were on the list for questions?

(11/04 13:58:10) Theo: And I don’t think you will get Adam and Dusty to work together on anything in the foreseeable future.

(11/04 13:58:18) ural: Me

(11/04 13:58:27) rarified: Ok, ural.

(11/04 13:58:29) caver1: Do you have a simplified over view?

(11/04 13:58:31) Claidi Song: That’s for another discussion somewhere else Theo

(11/04 13:58:33) Calum Traveler: i also dont believe any shard based on URU:CC would be compatible with a MOULa shard,

(11/04 13:59:15) Claidi Song: Simple is not a word associated with MOULa development lol

(11/04 13:59:16) rarified: Could you elaborate a bit caver1?

(11/04 13:59:27) Calum Traveler: i think> “New shard for testing out compatibility issues > testing commences > eventual migration”

(11/04 13:59:52) Emor D’ni Lap: good simplified overview

(11/04 13:59:55) caver1: I’m not up on age creation.

(11/04 13:59:58) rarified: And… “shard updates as client development proceeds.”

(11/04 13:00:00) Claidi Song: But I understand where you are coming from Caver1

(11/04 13:00:24) Prad: that sentence used ‘loanwords’ lol

(11/04 13:00:29) Claidi Song: Any questions?

(11/04 13:00:30) rarified: Ahhh. Age creation has a whole other set of experts here, and I don’t

(11/04 13:00:33) Prad: so much about simple

(11/04 13:00:39) rarified: consider myself a member of that Guild.

(11/04 13:00:56) Calum Traveler: yeah, age creation’s a separate branch to client side stuff 😉

(11/04 13:01:07) Calum Traveler: similar, but different.

(11/04 13:01:20) Prad: (just joking – am a techie myself)

(11/04 13:01:24) rarified: ural, you listed the Minkata shards. Is there a question in there?

(11/04 13:01:37) Claidi Song: Wow! A lot of information!!!

(11/04 13:02:02) rarified: A lot of anticipation. There’s a lot of work to be done.

(11/04 13:02:22) rarified: Ok, I’ve taken us over the hour mark. Thank you all. I’m always on the

(11/04 13:02:32) ural: How will the install work, will i keeep current moula, mess eith my minkata folders?

(11/04 13:02:33) rarified: OpenUru discord channels if you have more questions.

(11/04 13:02:41) Claidi Song: Thank you, rarified!

(11/04 13:02:45) rarified: ural, I don’t know yet.

(11/04 13:02:47) Calum Traveler: i dont think we can answer that at this time yet, ural

(11/04 13:02:48) rarified bows

(11/04 13:02:51) Calum Traveler: ty rarifed

(11/04 13:03:10) Claidi Song: Now as rarified hinted

(11/04 13:03:31) Claidi Song: Christopher Therburg has an IC presentation about the age he created.

(11/04 13:03:44) Claidi Song: You will need to be brief

(11/04 13:03:52) Christopher Therburg: Okay.

(11/04 13:03:57) Christopher Therburg: Hello and Shorah everyone. 😀

(11/04 13:04:12) Christopher Therburg: It’s finally time. As rarified slightly noticed, the Fall of D’ni Memorial Island, or Bahn’tefoonet in D’ni, is finally ready to open and I want to invite all of you to the opening of the island in Chiso Preniv, hopefully next week or the week after that if it fits in the time.

(11/04 13:04:29) Christopher Therburg: So, what is planned for the opening day?

(11/04 13:04:46) Christopher Therburg: At first, the opening ceremony will be at Chiso Preniv as usual. It’s the first time for me to do something like this. Then I, and maybe Tweek if he wants too, will give a tour on this island. After that, a speak and a minute’s silence is also planned on the island to commemorate the deceased D’ni who died at the Fall of D’ni.

(11/04 13:05:06) Christopher Therburg: Afterwards there’s a little chat and so on and then that’s it.

(11/04 13:05:25) Christopher Therburg: The exact opening date is yet to be announced. I still have to discuss it with a few people. Don’t worry about it, it will be sooner then you think. Eyes open.

(11/04 13:05:29) Thumbs up from Calum Traveler

(11/04 13:05:47) Christopher Therburg: But does that mean I’m done with the island? No, not by a long shot.

(11/04 13:05:47) Thumbs up from Sathopper

(11/04 13:05:56) BIG thumbs up from Prad

(11/04 13:06:09) Christopher Therburg: The main thing is finished, but I still have some plans to make some small changes to the island and the memorial itself so that it will be preserved and being in a good shape for a long time hopefully. 😉

(11/04 13:06:22) Christopher Therburg: As an aside, I will soon add telescopes near the docks at a later date, for closer views of certain D’ni islands and Ae’gura itself. I don’t want to say anything more about it yet. I will let it surprise you.

(11/04 13:06:33) Christopher Therburg: Until then, I will rest for a few months to regain my strength.

(11/04 13:06:48) Christopher Therburg: Man, it was quite tiring for me and it’s the first time I’ve taken part in a restoration in the history of D’ni. I’m still a newbie at this.

(11/04 13:06:54) Calum Traveler: rest is good.

(11/04 13:07:01) Claidi Song: Thank you, Christopher Therburg!

(11/04 13:07:03) Christopher Therburg: Any questions so far?

(11/04 13:07:10) Claidi Song: no Q

(11/04 13:07:15) Christopher Therburg: Then I thank you all for listening to me and I hope I see all of you on the island soon. 😉

(11/04 13:07:21) Claidi Song: And we are over time.

(11/04 13:07:21) Christopher Therburg bows

(11/04 13:07:26) Prad: see you Fall

(11/04 13:07:29) Prad: *all*

(11/04 13:07:52) judyg: Thank you Claidi!

(11/04 13:08:02) Thumbs up from rarified

(11/04 13:08:06) Claidi Song: You are all very welcome!

(11/04 13:08:07) shokhootahn Rehn: Thank you, Claidi!

(11/04 13:08:15) Claidi Song: Thank you to all the participants! Thank you all for coming.

(11/04 13:03:20) Claidi Song: To give each speaker all the time they need and have time for Q&A after each one, there are
(11/04 13:03:26) Claidi Song: Five Meeting Rules. Please:
(11/04 13:03:33) Claidi Song: 1. Keep chatter to a minimum while the speakers are talking. An occasional comment or emote is fine, but be respectful and let the speaker finish.
(11/04 13:03:40) Claidi Song: 2. Save questions until the speaker asks for questions at the end of their presentation.
(11/04 13:03:53) Claidi Song: Or DM questions to me to add to the questions queue for Q&A.
(11/04 13:04:01) Claidi Song: 3. Speakers: please indicate when you are ready for questions, and when you're ready for the next question.
(11/04 13:04:09) Claidi Song: 4. If a question requires a long answer, we may need to skip it to stay on track. In that case, please, PM the speaker after they've left the platform.
(11/04 13:04:15) Claidi Song: 5. A summary and the chatlog of this meeting will be published within a few days on the Guild of Messengers' website – https://www.guildofmessengers.info/
(11/04 13:04:21) Claidi Song: Of course, you can start your own chatlog by typing: /startlog
(11/04 13:04:29) Claidi Song: I hope everyone enjoys the news and has a good time here in AGM today!
(11/04 13:04:38) Claidi Song: So what are some of the events coming up this month in the Cavern?
(11/04 13:04:44) judyg: You forgot the most important rule #6 Do NOT press the blue button
(11/04 13:04:44) Claidi Song: First on the agenda, skyisblue has delicious information about her next Cooking with Sky show.
(11/04 13:04:56) Claidi Song beckons you
(11/04 13:04:56) Claidi Song: Please, come on up to the platform skyisblue!

(11/04 13:05:26) skyisblu: Hi everybody 😀
(11/04 13:05:37) skyisblu: I just wanted to let you know that I am hosting another of my cooking sessions this coming Monday, November 6th at 12 KI. That's in 2 days 😉 This month, I am taking on a challenge – I am sharing a recipe that I only just learned myself. I am trying my hand at making homemade pierogi.
(11/04 13:05:51) Cave woman: Bon Jour
(11/04 13:05:55) skyisblu: 🙂
(11/04 13:05:56) IwonK: 😀
(11/04 13:06:05) skyisblu: Now, if you don't know what pierogi are, they are Polish dumplings, filled with a mix of mashed potatoes and cheese, boiled and then fried, and sometimes served topped with sour cream and other tasty things.
(11/04 13:06:21) judyg: yum
(11/04 13:06:26) Maurus is hungry…
(11/04 13:06:32) skyisblu: In my opinion, they make for a great big delicious bowl of comfort, and if you are willing to put in the work, you can make a bunch of them and freeze the extra for another time 🙂
(11/04 13:06:54) skyisblu: Every first Monday of the month, we meet in the Guild of Caterers' Hood during the livestream, so if you have any questions relating to food, that's the place to be – I try to keep up with the chatter while I am making a mess in the kitchen.
(11/04 13:07:18) skyisblu: The livestream can be found on Twitch here: https://www.twitch.tv/skyisblu_is_me , and I explain my process in both English and French. The recipes and video will also be available afterwards, as well as all the other cooking sessions, at https://cookingsessionswithsky.blogspot.com/
(11/04 13:07:46) skyisblu: And as always, if you have any suggestions for any future cooking sessions, any recipes you want to learn more about or see made, I am always up for a challenge 😉 I hope to see you all on Monday!
(11/04 13:08:09) skyisblu: Any questions?
(11/04 13:08:12) Claidi Song: No questions in the queue, that I caught anyway
(11/04 13:08:29) skyisblu: Awesome 🙂 Thanks everyone!

(11/04 13:11:28) 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.
(11/04 13:11:40) shokhootahn Rehn: First, the language classes…
(11/04 13:11:51) shokhootahn Rehn: There are evening classes available on weekday evenings on Tuesday through Friday starting at 20:00, 21:00 or 22:00 KI time, depending on the student's schedule. There are daytime openings starting at either 12:00 KI time, 13:00 KI time, or 14:00 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#1317.
(11/04 13:12:08) shokhootahn Rehn: Sorry, Monday through Friday
(11/04 13:12:27) shokhootahn Rehn: All classes are Monday through Friday, only. There are no weekend classes available.
(11/04 13:12:50) shokhootahn Rehn: Though, daytime availability is subject to change with little or no notice.
(11/04 13:13:03) shokhootahn Rehn: If you are going to contact me by KI-mail, remember to inclue your KI #.
(11/04 13:13:21) shokhootahn Rehn: As always, current students can find last-minute updates to class times on the left-hand imager.
(11/04 13:13:51) shokhootahn Rehn: Now for some sad news. The Guild of Instructors has lost one of its own, last month. Guild Master shokhootahn shen (aka shenendoah and Kathleen) passed away, late last month. She will be missed by all who knew her.
(11/04 13:14:16) Calum Traveler: 🙁
(11/04 13:14:46) judyg: 🙁
(11/04 13:14:49) skyisblu: 🙁
(11/04 13:14:49) IwonK: 🙁
(11/04 13:14:56) ShilohOBrien: ;(
(11/04 13:14:58) Diranda: 🙁
(11/04 13:14:58) Christopher Therburg: 🙁
(11/04 13:15:02) shokhootahn Rehn: She as in the very first class I taught, back in 2008.
(11/04 13:15:05) ural: 🙁
(11/04 13:15:14) Claidi Song: Oh, that's so sad. We will miss her
(11/04 13:15:49) shokhootahn Rehn: The Guild of Instructors' Hood will be open and public unless a class is in session.
(11/04 13:16:13) Claidi Song: I'm sure it will
(11/04 13:16:24) shokhootahn Rehn: I have one request for visitors: Please do not post pellet points into the Hood imager…
(11/04 13:16:47) shokhootahn Rehn: One of my former students, Yutiel, is listed on that imager. I have refrained from posting pellets to maintain her name at the top as a form of memorial. It's why I haven't posted pellet points above 168345: it was to keep her name at the top of the list.
(11/04 13:17:07) shokhootahn Rehn: She was a great student and became a close friend in the process.
(11/04 13:17:18) shokhootahn Rehn: She was another explorer who left us way too soon.
(11/04 13:17:32) shokhootahn Rehn: Are there any questions?
(11/04 13:18:00) Claidi Song: No questions in the queue
(11/04 13:18:03) shokhootahn Rehn: Moving on…
(11/04 13:18:09) shokhootahn Rehn: The second announcement is about r'Taytahn's Story Night.
(11/04 13:18:22) shokhootahn Rehn: In October, we started the story from the game, Myst III: Exile. There are three parts, total. We will finish off the month by starting the story from the game, Myst IV: Revelation. This week is story #84 of 104 in the story cycle of the history of D'ni.
(11/04 13:18:36) Prad: maybe next game update one will be able to 'freeze' pellet scores for memorial purposes
(11/04 13:18:53) shokhootahn Rehn: So, there is still plenty of history to go!
(11/04 13:19:01) shokhootahn Rehn: There's an idea, Prad!
(11/04 13:19:10) shokhootahn Rehn: Eventually, we will cover all of the books and games, as well as the three human attempts at the restoration of D'ni!
(11/04 13:19:35) shokhootahn Rehn: I am recording Story Night for (eventual) upload to my YouTube channel (r'Tayrtahn). 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. 😉
(11/04 13:20:13) shokhootahn Rehn: oops, it's rTayrtahn (no apostrophe)
(11/04 13:20:36) shokhootahn Rehn: Currently, I am caught up with video compression. Unfortunately, I have a sizable backlog of videos to edit and upload. To my channel subscribers, please be patient; I am slowly working through it and have uploaded a few more videos to the channel. 🙂
(11/04 13:21:05) shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night is held in the public neighborhood of Tsahno's Hood every Saturday.
(11/04 13:21:20) 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.
(11/04 13:21:41) 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 14:00 KI or 30 minutes after the AGM, whichever is later.
(11/04 13:22:09) shokhootahn Rehn: I also post changes on the left-hand imager in the hood.
(11/04 13:22:25) 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. 🙂
(11/04 13:22:38) shokhootahn Rehn: Minasunda is one of those members, as she runs the announcements channel on Discord.
(11/04 13:22:51) shokhootahn Rehn: The stories are told using voice so you will need to have your speakers or headsets on.
(11/04 13:23:02) 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. 🙂
(11/04 13:23:34) shokhootahn Rehn: We hope to see you there!
(11/04 13:23:39) shokhootahn Rehn: Any questions?
(11/04 13:23:42) Claidi Song: No questions in the queue

(11/04 13:39:46) shokhootahn Rehn: O.O
(11/04 13:39:53) Christopher Therburg: O.O
(11/04 13:40:01) IwonK: ^_^
(11/04 13:40:05) Thumbs up from Calum Traveler
(11/04 13:40:07) Maurus grins
(11/04 13:40:08) ural: Wow
(11/04 13:40:15) rarified: work through logistical tasks to address vastly different build processes we are using.
(11/04 13:40:39) rarified: Once the shard goes live, it will likely only have a duplicate of the H'uru client, where
(11/04 13:40:41) Ro"Jethhe wishes enders could be with us now.
(11/04 13:40:50) Claidi Song: oh yes!
(11/04 13:41:09) rarified: contributors can begin to explore how their materials interact with the new client.
(11/04 13:41:40) rarified: Behind the scenes, I have a list of changes I feel are needed for more casual users
(11/04 13:42:06) rarified: to access MOULa with the same ease. So there will be some changes, but nothing
(11/04 13:42:19) rarified: that diminishes the core work H'uru has put in these many years.
(11/04 13:42:47) Calum Traveler: i know it's work ill be eager to run through.
(11/04 13:42:55) rarified: As a tease, on my wishlist: A single Uru installation that can be used to access
(11/04 13:43:10) rarified: most shards, without a separate installation for each.
(11/04 13:43:21) skyisblu: OOOoooh
(11/04 13:43:28) rarified: Of course that will depend on shard operators agreeing that the client can and will
(11/04 13:43:34) ural: Wow!!!! at last
(11/04 13:43:37) Maurus: (Grins) That's huge.
(11/04 13:43:40) CaptainQuery: 🙂
(11/04 13:43:46) rarified: be used, but the capability will be there to select a shard at the time you launch Uru.
(11/04 13:43:56) IwonK: :))
(11/04 13:44:08) Prad: H'Uru is the way to go to have multi platform support in the end (Windows, Mac, Linux)…
(11/04 13:44:11) Diranda: Neat!
(11/04 13:44:14) rarified: This work will take a while. Probably more that one release will happen before
(11/04 13:44:27) rarified: this client makes it to MOULa. But the work is beginning.
(11/04 13:44:51) shokhootahn Rehn cheers
(11/04 13:44:54) rarified: Testing is going to be brutal for this, as every single age will need to have changes
(11/04 13:44:54) BIG thumbs up from Calum Traveler
(11/04 13:45:02) rarified: to work with the updated client.
(11/04 13:45:25) rarified: So there will be times I (and others) put out a call for help on Discord or here
(11/04 13:45:48) rarified: for people who can spend time to help with testing and reporting.
(11/04 13:45:51) Anatheia: Wow, wow, wow!
(11/04 13:45:56) Thumbs up from skyisblu
(11/04 13:45:56) Anatheia: So exciting!
(11/04 13:46:03) Christopher Therburg: Very nice.
(11/04 13:46:16) rarified: Ok. That's all the words I have, I have to suck air for a moment.
(11/04 13:46:18) ShilohOBrien cheers
(11/04 13:46:24) skyisblu cheers
(11/04 13:46:26) rarified: Questions?
(11/04 13:46:27) Anatheia cheers
(11/04 13:46:31) ural cheers
(11/04 13:46:34) Claidi Song: Several
(11/04 13:46:35) Maurus: You're the MAN Rarified!
(11/04 13:46:35) judyg claps her hands
(11/04 13:46:42) Claidi Song: Emor: please, Remind everyone how to view the list of updated items
(11/04 13:46:42) IwonK claps her hands
(11/04 13:46:43) Frobozz claps his hands
(11/04 13:46:43) Maurus cheers
(11/04 13:46:45) Rigil Kent claps his hands
(11/04 13:46:46) Sathopper claps his hands
(11/04 13:46:47) uwe claps his hands
(11/04 13:46:53) ural: how tough is it to swich?
(11/04 13:46:59) CaptainQuery claps
(11/04 13:47:00) Emor D'ni Lap: Profuse thanks for this undertaking, rarified
(11/04 13:47:05) rarified: Let's get through the Q first ural.
(11/04 13:47:24) ural: Oops
(11/04 13:47:30) Claidi Song: Emor: please, Remind everyone how to view the list of updated items
(11/04 13:47:34) ShilohOBrien claps her hands
(11/04 13:47:54) rarified leans right
(11/04 13:48:08) rarified: You mentioned several questions, Claidi Song?
(11/04 13:48:13) Claidi Song leans left
(11/04 13:48:18) Claidi Song leans right
(11/04 13:48:27) Theo: I would expect major issues if a single client is to include both everything here and everything in the Deep Island shard.
(11/04 13:48:29) IwonK leans wrong
(11/04 13:48:32) Claidi Song: Theo: Minkata Beta
(11/04 13:48:44) Claidi Song: That may need some context, Theo
(11/04 13:49:07) Calum Traveler: i think the 'every shard' ideal would only work with MOULa-type shards,
(11/04 13:49:11) Calum Traveler: DI is CC based, isn't it?
(11/04 13:49:17) rarified: Yes? Alpha will still exist. For the time being Prime and Alpha will be MOULa clients.
(11/04 13:49:25) Theo: Testing Shard for H'uru compatibility will have to be named something.
(11/04 13:49:32) Calum Traveler: iirc its Minkata Delta?
(11/04 13:49:41) rarified: NextGen will be the new client, and initially it will have an internal client.
(11/04 13:50:00) rarified: … new "Shard"!
(11/04 13:50:31) rarified: Next?
(11/04 13:50:32) Claidi Song: I'm sorry I don't seem to be getting the hang of these questions. Please one at a time address Qs to rarified
(11/04 13:50:56) rarified: ural, you had one?
(11/04 13:51:17) Claidi Song: Then Emor's comment
(11/04 13:51:24) Claidi Song: Then Theo
(11/04 13:51:29) Claidi Song: Then Caver1
(11/04 13:51:38) Claidi Song: Then ural
(11/04 13:51:50) rarified is checking something out
(11/04 13:51:54) Emor D'ni Lap: just wanted to make sure everyone knew how to view the items in each update
(11/04 13:52:08) Claidi Song: Oh, Ural ask the Age Players 🙂
(11/04 13:52:13) Calum Traveler: Patch Notes, Emor?
(11/04 13:52:15) rarified: There are two ways Emor D'ni Lap
(11/04 13:52:22) Emor D'ni Lap: wrench icon, then "Release Notes" button
(11/04 13:52:34) rarified: On the Cyan discord announcements channel, Chogon will post the changes.
(11/04 13:52:54) rarified: Then, in-game, if you bring up the "settings" (wrench) window, you can
(11/04 13:53:04) rarified: click on "release notes" to see the changes.
(11/04 13:53:14) Emor D'ni Lap nods his head
(11/04 13:53:31) rarified: Next?
(11/04 13:53:58) rarified: Theo, anything else?
(11/04 13:53:58) Claidi Song: Ural
(11/04 13:53:59) Theo: What difficulties must be overcome to include both Dusty's UAM Shard and Adam's TrollLand Shard?
(11/04 13:54:06) ural: How will do the install got 3 folders
(11/04 13:54:26) ShilohOBrien has to go and waves bye.
(11/04 13:54:27) rarified: I can't yet speak to Dusty's shard, having no experience with it.
(11/04 13:54:40) ural: 1 moula, 2. minkata prima, 3 minkata alpha
(11/04 13:54:47) Claidi Song: Bye Shiloh TC
(11/04 13:54:56) rarified: Trollland, if it uses the H'uru client unaltered, will be able to be configured into the single install.
(11/04 13:55:14) ural: Oops
(11/04 13:55:19) Emor D'ni Lap: TrollLand has specific, limited purposes and should not be included
(11/04 13:55:26) Cave woman: I will have to attend a funeral. /wavebye
(11/04 13:55:32) philipgr: Will TOC be included?
(11/04 13:55:41) shokhootahn Rehn: tc Cw
(11/04 13:55:52) Claidi Song: I'm sorry Cavewoman TC
(11/04 13:55:53) rarified: Probably not. I don't think TOC's client has tracked either fork of development.
(11/04 13:56:19) Calum Traveler: TOC requires very outdated copies of MOULa's files to even run at this point
(11/04 13:56:22) shokhootahn Rehn: PLus, TOC is no longer being updated
(11/04 13:56:31) rarified: We will, of course, with the updated client have to work with all Bot owners to get
(11/04 13:56:36) rarified: them up and running.
(11/04 13:57:08) Theo: Both TOC's version of DI and the original clients are huge, maybe three times the size of MOULa.
(11/04 13:57:22) Darryl Pogue: I think rarified mentioned at the start, it will depend on shards to opt-in to being included, so it's probably too early to confirm or deny inclusion of any particular shard except Minkata
(11/04 13:57:31) Calum Traveler: yeah,
(11/04 13:57:31) Theo: Well, if you update them completely.
(11/04 13:57:32) rarified: Correct.
(11/04 13:57:33) Calum Traveler: that,
(11/04 13:57:34) Calum Traveler: dotgif
(11/04 13:58:02) Claidi Song: Anyone's question gone unanswered?
(11/04 13:58:05) rarified: caver1 you were on the list for questions?
(11/04 13:58:10) Theo: And I don't think you will get Adam and Dusty to work together on anything in the foreseeable future.
(11/04 13:58:18) ural: Me
(11/04 13:58:27) rarified: Ok, ural.
(11/04 13:58:29) caver1: Do you have a simplified over view?
(11/04 13:58:31) Claidi Song: That's for another discussion somewhere else Theo
(11/04 13:58:33) Calum Traveler: i also dont believe any shard based on URU:CC would be compatible with a MOULa shard,
(11/04 13:59:15) Claidi Song: Simple is not a word associated with MOULa development lol
(11/04 13:59:16) rarified: Could you elaborate a bit caver1?
(11/04 13:59:27) Calum Traveler: i think> "New shard for testing out compatibility issues > testing commences > eventual migration"
(11/04 13:59:52) Emor D'ni Lap: good simplified overview
(11/04 13:59:55) caver1: I'm not up on age creation.
(11/04 13:59:58) rarified: And… "shard updates as client development proceeds."
(11/04 14:00:00) Claidi Song: But I understand where you are coming from Caver1
(11/04 14:00:24) Prad: that sentence used 'loanwords' lol
(11/04 14:00:29) Claidi Song: Any questions?
(11/04 14:00:30) rarified: Ahhh. Age creation has a whole other set of experts here, and I don't
(11/04 14:00:33) Prad: so much about simple
(11/04 14:00:39) rarified: consider myself a member of that Guild.
(11/04 14:00:56) Calum Traveler: yeah, age creation's a separate branch to client side stuff 😉
(11/04 14:01:07) Calum Traveler: similar, but different.
(11/04 14:01:20) Prad: (just joking – am a techie myself)
(11/04 14:01:24) rarified: ural, you listed the Minkata shards. Is there a question in there?
(11/04 14:01:37) Claidi Song: Wow! A lot of information!!!
(11/04 14:02:02) rarified: A lot of anticipation. There's a lot of work to be done.
(11/04 14:02:22) rarified: Ok, I've taken us over the hour mark. Thank you all. I'm always on the
(11/04 14:02:32) ural: How will the install work, will i keeep current moula, mess eith my minkata folders?
(11/04 14:02:33) rarified: OpenUru discord channels if you have more questions.
(11/04 14:02:41) Claidi Song: Thank you, rarified!
(11/04 14:02:43) shokhootahn Rehn claps his hands
(11/04 14:02:45) rarified: ural, I don't know yet.
(11/04 14:02:45) Christopher Therburg claps his hands
(11/04 14:02:47) Calum Traveler: i dont think we can answer that at this time yet, ural

(11/04 14:03:14) neurovac claps his hands
(11/04 14:03:31) Claidi Song: Christopher Therburg has an IC presentation about the age he created.
(11/04 14:03:44) Claidi Song: You will need to be brief
(11/04 14:03:52) Christopher Therburg: Okay.
(11/04 14:03:57) Christopher Therburg: Hello and Shorah everyone. 😀
(11/04 14:04:12) Christopher Therburg: It's finally time. As rarified slightly noticed, the Fall of D'ni Memorial Island, or Bahn'tefoonet in D'ni, is finally ready to open and I want to invite all of you to the opening of the island in Chiso Preniv, hopefully next week or the week after that if it fits in the time.
(11/04 14:04:29) Christopher Therburg: So, what is planned for the opening day?
(11/04 14:04:46) Christopher Therburg: At first, the opening ceremony will be at Chiso Preniv as usual. It's the first time for me to do something like this. Then I, and maybe Tweek if he wants too, will give a tour on this island. After that, a speak and a minute's silence is also planned on the island to commemorate the deceased D'ni who died at the Fall of D'ni.
(11/04 14:05:06) Christopher Therburg: Afterwards there's a little chat and so on and then that's it.
(11/04 14:05:25) Christopher Therburg: The exact opening date is yet to be announced. I still have to discuss it with a few people. Don't worry about it, it will be sooner then you think. Eyes open.
(11/04 14:05:29) Thumbs up from Calum Traveler
(11/04 14:05:47) Christopher Therburg: But does that mean I'm done with the island? No, not by a long shot.
(11/04 14:05:47) Thumbs up from Sathopper
(11/04 14:05:56) BIG thumbs up from Prad
(11/04 14:06:09) Christopher Therburg: The main thing is finished, but I still have some plans to make some small changes to the island and the memorial itself so that it will be preserved and being in a good shape for a long time hopefully. 😉
(11/04 14:06:22) Christopher Therburg: As an aside, I will soon add telescopes near the docks at a later date, for closer views of certain D'ni islands and Ae'gura itself. I don't want to say anything more about it yet. I will let it surprise you.
(11/04 14:06:33) Christopher Therburg: Until then, I will rest for a few months to regain my strength.
(11/04 14:06:48) Christopher Therburg: Man, it was quite tiring for me and it's the first time I've taken part in a restoration in the history of D'ni. I'm still a newbie at this.
(11/04 14:06:54) Calum Traveler: rest is good.
(11/04 14:07:01) Claidi Song claps her hands
(11/04 14:07:01) Claidi Song: Thank you, Christopher Therburg!
(11/04 14:07:03) Christopher Therburg: Any questions so far?
(11/04 14:07:10) Claidi Song: no Q
(11/04 14:07:15) Christopher Therburg: Then I thank you all for listening to me and I hope I see all of you on the island soon. 😉

October 2023 All Guilds Meeting Summary
Here is the summary for the 162nd All Guilds Meeting, moderated by Claidi Song, along with the raw and cleansed chatlogs!

Contents
Mysterium

☛ Submissions for pins are now open, until March 31, Pins are not required to follow the Mysterium 2024 theme of Serenia, and/or the host city of Montreal. Shirt submissions are also open, until February 25.

☛ A new COVID vaccine has been made available for the latest variants of the virus. The Committee recommends everyone to get it as soon as possible. Also, there have been reports of pharmacies no longer updating or providing vaccine cards; if you are looking for an updated proof of vaccine, it is advisable to specifically request a card, or look into electronic vaccine records if available.

☛ Skyisblu hosts “Cooking Sessions with Sky” (on her Twitch channel) every month on the first Monday at 12:00 KIT in the Guild of Caterers’ Hood; recently she made okonomiyaki. The recipes are explained in both English and French.

Every month is something new and different, a lot of times inspired by what is coming from Skyisblu’s garden, or what is in season in her corner of the world. She also tries to answer any questions regarding the recipe she is cooking, other dishes or cuisines, and takes suggestions for future sessions.

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 13 at 15:00 KIT in the Guild of Cookies’ Hood by the heek table. This month’s topic will be robots in video games. Feel free to suggest interesting games she could talk (and draw) about. As always, there will be cookies!

☛ Karel will host a Music Session in the Ae’gura Messengers Pub on Friday, October 13 at 13:00 KIT; the theme will be “Game Music over the Years“.

☛ Diranda, on behalf of the Guild of Authors and Artists, invited everyone to National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) 2023. They will hold workshops, write-ins, writing sprints and other NaNo-related gatherings in the Cavern as well as on their Discord server.

Event dates will be posted soon; they will try to accomodate schedules as best as possible, so if you are interested, you should get in contact to help plan the events. They plan to have a concurrent event for artists as well as other creative types, including Age writers, to join in the fun. Suggestions for concurrent activities are definitely welcome.

If you would like an invite to the Guild’s Discord, or for more info and questions about NaNoWriMo events, you should contact Diranda. For more about National Novel Writing Month, you can visit the official website.

You can ask questions regarding the Magic Ages and everything that goes with them on the dedicated channel on the MOULa Events Discord, or on the dedicated thread on the Mystpedia forums.

To celebrate the return of the Magic Bots (and as a thank you to Mir-o-Bot for remaining loyal despite all the difficulties), there will be a party, on Saturday, October 14 at 11:30 KIT, in Mir-o-Bot’s Kalamee (to get there, PM “to kalamee” to Mir-o-Bot, #32319).

Eternal Seeker will provide the music, and the Nulp Dance Group will open the evening with a short but cool performance. In order to see all the effects, it is important not to use an internal client. Please come to the party with the vanilla MOULa client. After the performance, the dance floor will be open.

Dances

There will be no ‘guided dance’, but you can dance with a partner of your choice, with the help of Magic-Bot. There are different dances for this:
- dancewith [name] [x]
  - abbreviated: dcw [name] [x]
- slowdancewith [name] [x]
  - abbreviated: sldw [name] [x]
where [name] is the avatar name of your desired dance partner, and [x] is the number of repetitions (max 3). All the seven dances that were available with the ‘guided dances’ are also available:
- minadance [x] [name]
Odd numbers are slightly faster dances, even numbers are slightly slower. Be polite and ask your desired dance partner to dance beforehand 😉

Note that after calling the command, you will automatically be teleported to your dance partner and take a step backwards to assume the correct position. Make sure that your dance partner is not looking into an abyss, otherwise you would fall!

If you need a KI note with a recap of the commands, you can ask Minasunda to send you one when you are in the Cavern.

OpenUru

☛ Calum Traveler mentioned an upcoming fix to a long standing issue: in 2007 the DRC locked open the doors to the Library and Museum in Ae’gura, due to technical issues with the automatic sensors that were causing the doors to close in peoples faces, or stay shut when they should have opened.

After almost 17 years, thanks to the hard work of Hazado, the functioning of these doors will be restored to proper functionality, opening and closing for a person coming close to their sensor regions, but staying open if multiple people are close by and not closing again until all people have transited. If someone links out while inside the sensor region, the doors will not close again until another person has gone through.

☛ Rarified gave a brief comment about the update schedule for MOULa. If all goes well, they should be able to send Cyan the new material later this month, with a possible release date for mid-November.

☛ TikiBear announced the restoration of the Age of Mirtahm, by Ametist and himself. There is no set date yet for when the Age will be made available.

Mirtahm was found by Rebus and his friends, and is apparently deserted, after a cataclysmic flood that leaves much under water. There are structures remaining above the water that they have been restoring.

From what they have found, the D’ni rescued and evacuated the original inhabitants. They then stayed for some time, with a small crew, to excavate a mineral. Now, after some cleanup, the Age is peaceful, if moody. There will be plenty of swimming and diving, though there will be fauna to contend with.

☛ Semjay is still working on refurbishing the Explorers’ Emporium (currently available on Deep Island); she is hoping to have it ready for testing by Christmas.

How to be a tester (click to expand)

To be a tester, you will need to open an account on the Minkata prime shard; it is highly recommended to read the Tester’s Guide to understand what is expected. To test the cutting edge additions, you can sign up for the Minkata alpha shard.

To report bugs, you can post on the OpenUru Discord server (channels #hood or #dev); on Discord you can ask to be added to the Testers role to be notified of testing requests, which sometimes need quick response in terms of hours, not days.

D’ni Language Classes

R’Tayrtahn gave two updates, one for the D’ni Language Classes and one for the Story Nights. Another student has finished the 101 lessons and is working on their final exam!

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.
More about the D’ni Language Classes (click to expand)
- Those who would like to attend the lessons should contact Rehn via PM or KImail (KI# 80428), or on Discord (r’Tayrtahn#1317).
- The Guild of Instructors’ Hood will be open and public unless a class is in session.
- There are daytime openings Monday to Friday, at 12:00, 13:00 or 14:00 KIT, though availability is subject to change with little or no notice;
- evening openings are on Tuesday to Friday, 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 (KI #27527) or Mimi Bot (KI #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 telling the story of Myst: The Book of D’ni, as told in the novel. After that, they will begin the story from Myst III: Exile. 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 😉
More about the Story Nights (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 (KI# 58324) a KImail with your KI number included in the text, so that he can add you to his buddies list.
Miscellanea

☛ In October, the Fan Ages Expeditions in Deep Island will explore Jo’nae and Jo’nae Hood by Jonnee (from the book room in Janga, if possible), Takla Ma’kan by the German group H’Uru (not to be confused with the Writers’ developers group), and Paah’kweh by BobLishman.

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

The next All Guilds Meeting is planned for Saturday, November 4 (Leevofo 12) at 13:00 KIT (20:00 CET).

Until then!

(10/07 13:03:11) judyg sets her KI to “silent mode”

(10/07 13:03:13) ShilohOBrien: And don’t push the BIG BLUE BUTTON!

(10/07 13:03:21) Claidi Song: We have an amazing agenda for AGM today. I hope you all enjoy the news and have a good time!

(10/07 13:03:39) Claidi Song: First on the agenda, skyisblu has information about her mouth-watering Cooking with Sky shows.

(10/07 13:03:43) Claidi Song beckons you

(10/07 13:03:43) Claidi Song: Please, come on up to the platform skyisblu!

(10/07 13:04:04) rarified ‘s mount waters

(10/07 13:04:16) skyisblu: Hi everybody, I just wanted to come up here and remind you all that every first Monday of the month, I host Cooking Sessions with Sky, a live cooking stream. Just last week, we made Okonomiyaki, a Japanese savory pancake with cabbage and seafood, topped with bacon, a barbecue-style sauce, and Kewpie mayonnaise.

(10/07 13:04:32) ShilohOBrien: Great! Now I’m hungry.

(10/07 13:04:34) skyisblu: (pause for drooling)

(10/07 13:04:37) skyisblu: 😀

(10/07 13:04:39) rarified: Delivery?

(10/07 13:04:41) Emor D’ni Lap: FEED US

(10/07 13:04:52) Claidi Song: lol

(10/07 13:04:56) skyisblu: If this sounds absolutely delicious, you’re not too late to enjoy the cooking session: I upload every video to Youtube, and post the accompanying recipes(with lots of photos) to a blog, which you can find here : https://cookingsessionswithsky.blogspot.com/

(10/07 13:05:20) skyisblu: Every month is something new and different, a lot of times inspired by what is coming from my garden, or what is in season in my corner of the world. We also gather together in the Guild of Caterers’ Hood during the livestream, and I try to answer any questions regarding the recipe I am cooking, other dishes or cuisines, ingredient substitutions – so if you have any burning questions about cooking, it’s the place to be.

(10/07 13:05:48) skyisblu: Also, if you have any suggestions for future cooking sessions, I am always open to trying out new things and sharing my experience and results with everyone, however successful they are. Or not – I did have a couple of mishaps recently when attempting to make “blue foods” that ended up more grey and less edible 😉

(10/07 13:06:21) skyisblu: So the cooking stream is every first Monday of the month at 12 KI, broadcast live on Twitch at https://www.twitch.tv/skyisblu_is_me and then reposted on the blog. I post reminders and hints on the social media platforms about a week before. And for an added bonus, I explain the recipe in both English and French, to include more of the community.

(10/07 13:06:48) skyisblu: The next session is scheduled for Monday, November 6th, at 12 KI – no idea what I am making yet, but if anyone has any ideas, I am always open to suggestions 😀 I hope to see you there!

(10/07 13:06:58) IwonK: pierogi 😉

(10/07 13:07:09) skyisblu: LOL IwonK 😉

(10/07 13:07:15) skyisblu: Any questions?

(10/07 13:07:16) IwonK giggles in Polish

(10/07 13:07:20) Mabe says stop!

(10/07 13:07:37) IwonK stops

(10/07 13:07:46) Claidi Song: yes from ShilohOBrian

(10/07 13:08:07) Claidi Song: Would you consider doing a cooking class at Mysterium on year?

(10/07 13:08:17) Claidi Song: *one year

(10/07 13:08:43) Emor D’ni Lap: hotel regulations

(10/07 13:08:59) skyisblu: I have been considering that, since next year is in my hometown 😉 I will have to wait until the venue is announced, and then approach that location to see what the possibility is for doing a cooking session on site.

(10/07 13:09:08) ShilohOBrien: Woot!!!

(10/07 13:09:30) skyisblu: Some hotels don’t look to kindly on cooking with an open flame indoors 😉

(10/07 13:09:32) Claidi Song: That’s all the questions from the queue.

(10/07 13:09:42) skyisblu: Great 🙂 Thanks everyone!

(10/07 13:09:48) ShilohOBrien: Then they’re cowards!!!

(10/07 13:09:50) Claidi Song: That’s all the questions from the queue.

(10/07 13:10:01) Kayara: Perhaps they will allow it outdoors though?

(10/07 13:10:08) judyg: maybe cook outside? it’ll be summer

(10/07 13:10:08) Claidi Song: From Cyan:

(10/07 13:10:23) Claidi Song: Calum has Mysterium news for us.

(10/07 13:10:29) Claidi Song beckons you

(10/07 13:10:29) Claidi Song: Welcome to the platform Calum!

(10/07 13:10:35) Calum Traveler: not really Cyan technically

(10/07 13:10:40) Calum Traveler: though my shirt is lol

(10/07 13:10:48) rarified reaches for THE BIG BLUE BUTTON

(10/07 13:10:55) Calum Traveler: Shorah, all, a couple of things from me. I won’t be taking questions since I’ve got a cold I’m recovering from and will be trying to get through this as quickly as possible.

(10/07 13:10:56) Claidi Song: Cyan’s Mysterium rep 🙂

(10/07 13:11:20) Calum Traveler: again, cyan’s not got anything on me or mysterium but, ehrg. semantics at this point.

(10/07 13:11:36) Calum Traveler: mysterium stuff first, then a bit of cavern stuff.

(10/07 13:11:38) Calum Traveler: First: A new Mysterium blogpost has been posted! Time for the usual news roundup from it. Full blogpost can be found here: https://mysterium.net/2023/10/pins-2/

(10/07 13:11:48) Calum Traveler: in summary

(10/07 13:11:50) Calum Traveler: Pin Submissions for Mysterium 2024 are open until March 31st. You’re not required to follow the Mysterium Theme, but if you want to incorporate it, this year’s theme is Serenia. As a tangential reminder, Shirt Submissions are open until February 25th. You can find information for these submissions at: https://mysterium.net/submissions/pin-design-submissions/ and https://mysterium.net/submissions/shirt-design-submissions/

(10/07 13:12:03) Calum Traveler: The August Creativity Prompt Winners for “Blazing” were laughingpineapple with the artwork “Blazing Mentor” and Salvo Ludis with the story “The Bad Ending”

(10/07 13:12:18) Calum Traveler: This months prompt theme is “Noir.” The color, the detective style, longer darker nights, fear of the outside/night, creeping dread, a darkness falling, etc.

(10/07 13:13:18) Calum Traveler squints for a moment, and mumbles, ‘did i do the pin announcement?’

(10/07 13:13:30) ShilohOBrien: Yes you did.

(10/07 13:13:32) Calum Traveler: ok

(10/07 13:13:40) Calum Traveler: a bit of cavern news then

(10/07 13:13:43) Claidi Song: It’s good to have someone keeping us up on the news from Cyan, etc :))

(10/07 13:13:52) Calum Traveler: Next: A quick update from the Restoration regarding something that has been a long way for a really long time.

(10/07 13:14:04) Calum Traveler: Back in 2007, the DRC locked open the doors to the Library and Museum in Ae’gura due to technical issues with the automatic sensors that were causing the doors to close in peoples faces, or stay shut when they should have opened. They have been locked open ever since.

(10/07 13:14:18) Calum Traveler: That’s almost 17 years it’s been like that! Definitely longer than the DRC ever thought it’d be, I’d wager.

(10/07 13:14:29) ShilohOBrien nods grimly

(10/07 13:14:31) Calum Traveler: After several rounds of hard work from our resident techwizard Hazado, and riggorous testing of the mechanisms from the volunteer testers, I am pleased to announce that we have hammered out the original issues, and in the coming weeks, will be unlocking the DRC’s ‘temporary’ fix of the problem, and restoring the doors to proper functionality.

(10/07 13:14:51) Calum Traveler: The doors should now:

(10/07 13:14:57) Calum Traveler: Properly open and close for a person entering and exiting their sensor regions.

(10/07 13:15:05) Calum Traveler: Properly stay open if multiple people are inside the sensor region and not close again until all people have exited the sensor region.

(10/07 13:15:17) Calum Traveler: In our testing, we have tried to take into account the possibility that someone may link out while inside the sensor region, and we have calibrated it to not close again until another person has successfully entered and exited the region properly.

(10/07 13:15:34) Calum Traveler: We will be keeping our ears open incase this is not functioning as intended, as this is technically more of a temporary fix and we would prefer it if the doors would close again after a region is exited via linking, but that is something we weren’t able to get the sensors to recognize at this time.

(10/07 13:15:55) Calum Traveler: (This is a problem we’ve noticed with other automatic sensor doors elsewhere in the Cavern, and personally, I suspect the D’ni who designed the sensors didn’t anticipate people who had personal linking books deciding to link out in unexpected places like in the middle of an open doorway!)

(10/07 13:16:22) Calum Traveler: Hazado has also adjusted the sensor regions as well to trigger earlier than they used to, when approaching in certain directions, to ensure that the doors will not be closed by the time you reach them, which hopefully should not cause anyone running for a presumed empty doorway to run into them.

(10/07 13:16:39) Calum Traveler reaches end of prepared notes.

(10/07 13:16:48) Calum Traveler: alright that’s it from me.

(10/07 13:16:50) Calum Traveler bows

(10/07 13:16:50) Claidi Song: Thank you, Calum!

(10/07 13:16:53) rarified still has the mark on his forehead from the door

(10/07 13:17:02) Emor D’ni Lap: Take care of your cold Calum, and get better

(10/07 13:17:11) Calum Traveler falls back into first available seat

(10/07 13:17:31) skyisblu passes Calum a cup of tea

(10/07 13:17:40) Claidi Song: Next, IwonK is here to tell us about her Wonky Talk this month.

(10/07 13:17:40) IwonK passes Cal a hot cookie

(10/07 13:17:47) Claidi Song beckons you

(10/07 13:17:47) Claidi Song: The stage is yours, IwonK!

(10/07 13:17:51) ShilohOBrien offers wiskey and honey to add to the tea.

(10/07 13:17:56) LividLiquid: WOOOOOO!

(10/07 13:17:57) IwonK: I’ll be quick 😀

(10/07 13:18:08) IwonK: I’ll be streaming my Wonky Talk on Friday, October 13th at 15 KI in the Guild of Cookies’ Hood (we sit near the heek table)

(10/07 13:18:21) IwonK: This month’s topic is “robots in video games”! I have some titles in my mind already but if you know any interesting games I could talk about (and draw), feel free to throw them my way 🙂

(10/07 13:18:31) IwonK: join me on my Twitch channel (twitch.tv/yvonk), there will be cookies 🙂

(10/07 13:18:38) IwonK: any Qs in the Q?

(10/07 13:18:57) IwonK: ‘coz I got some A’s if needed 😀

(10/07 13:19:08) IwonK is checking something out

(10/07 13:19:16) rarified: Who needs a Q when you got As?

(10/07 13:19:18) judyg: 🙂

(10/07 13:19:19) Claidi Song: No questions in the queue

(10/07 13:19:19) IwonK: 😀

(10/07 13:19:24) IwonK bows

(10/07 13:19:32) Claidi Song: Thank you, IwonK!

(10/07 13:19:40) Kayara hopes the Q are busy pestering the Enterprise and not us down here.

(10/07 13:19:48) Claidi Song: Now, about an upcoming event the Guild of Authors and Artists are doing, Diranda has information and an announcement.

(10/07 13:19:54) Claidi Song beckons you

(10/07 13:19:54) Claidi Song: Welcome to the platform Diranda!

(10/07 13:19:57) IwonK: punch ’em like Sisko 😉

(10/07 13:24:29) Minasunda: He has now restored all of his Magic Ages including the fireworks and the numerous Magic Games in the different Ages are playable again.

(10/07 13:24:40) Minasunda: Mister Magic is currently working on making The Fabulous Magic Treasure (FMT) available to players again – it’s almost done I think.

(10/07 13:26:06) Minasunda: After the performance, it’s your turn to dance to your heart’s content. And no, this time there is no “guided dance” 😉 But….

(10/07 13:26:16) Minasunda: … You can dance with a partner of your choice. There are different dances for this. You can access this with PM to Magic-Bot as follows:

(10/07 13:26:29) Minasunda: dancewith [name] [x] – or simply dcw [name] [x]

(10/07 13:26:38) Minasunda: slowdancewith [name] [x] – or simply sldw [name] [x]

(10/07 13:26:46) Minasunda: [name] means the avatar name of your desired dance partner. [x] stands for the number of repetitions (max. 3)

(10/07 13:26:55) Minasunda: And I’m also very happy that, thanks to Mister Magic, you now have the 7 dances that we used to do with the “guided dance” at your free disposal.

(10/07 13:27:04) Minasunda: for this PM to Magic-Bot:

(10/07 13:27:13) Minasunda: minadance[x] [name]

(10/07 13:27:22) Minasunda: Here too, [name] means the avatar name of your desired dance partner. [x] stands for the desired dance – i.e. 1 to 7 – where the odd numbers are slightly faster dances and the even numbers are slightly slower dances.

(10/07 13:27:32) Minasunda: But please – be polite and ask your desired dance partner to dance beforehand. 😀

(10/07 13:27:43) Minasunda: Also note that after calling the command, you will automatically be teleported to your dance partner and take a step backwards to assume the correct position. Make sure that your dance partner is not looking into an abyss, otherwise you would fall 😉

(10/07 13:27:55) Minasunda: By the way: these dances don’t just work at the event – you can use them with Magic Bot at any time 😉

(10/07 13:28:06) Minasunda: I can send you an KI-mail with the dance commands. If you want this, please let me know 🙂

(10/07 13:28:18) IwonK: I want one 😀

(10/07 13:28:21) Minasunda: Ah. on more 😉 …

(10/07 13:28:26) judyg: me too!

(10/07 13:28:32) Minasunda: Karel is doing another music session in the pub next Friday, October 13th at 13 KI Time: “Game Music over the Years”. music:www.urutunes.com/Karel

(10/07 13:28:48) Minasunda: That’s all from me. Any questions ?

(10/07 13:28:55) Claidi Song: No questions in the queue

(10/07 13:29:01) Minasunda thanks you

(10/07 13:29:06) Claidi Song: Thank you, Diranda!

(10/07 13:29:08) Minasunda bows

(10/07 13:29:16) Mr.Rogers: And thank you, Michel!

(10/07 13:29:25) Claidi Song: That was

(10/07 13:29:33) Claidi Song: Thank you, Mina!

(10/07 13:30:35) Claidi Song: Is shokhootahn Jo is here, right?

(10/07 13:30:56) Claidi Song is checking something out

(10/07 13:31:06) Calum Traveler: none of the shoko’s or r’tay are online atm

(10/07 13:31:10) Claidi Song: shokhootahn Rehn is traveling today and couldn’t join us.

(10/07 13:31:15) Calum Traveler: might have to hold off until end of show

(10/07 13:31:16) Claidi Song: He didn’t forget us, however,

(10/07 13:31:24) Claidi Song: he sent his surrogate hat.

(10/07 13:31:26) Eternal Seeker: no Shoko here and no Storynight today

(10/07 13:31:32) Claidi Song dons the shokhootahn Rehn surrogate hat and reads from the notes sent.

(10/07 13:31:38) Claidi Song: I have two separate announcements.

(10/07 13:31:43) Claidi Song: One is for the D’ni Language Class and the other one is for r’Tayrtahn’s Story Night.

(10/07 13:31:54) Claidi Song: First, the language classes…

(10/07 13:31:56) IwonK: shoko… shoko… now i know why I’m thinking about chocolate 😛

(10/07 13:32:00) Claidi Song: There are evening classes available on weekday evenings on Tuesday through Friday starting at 20:00, 21:00 or 22:00 KI time, depending on the student’s schedule. There are daytime openings starting at either 12:00 KI time, 13:00 KI time, or 14:00 KI time, again, depending on the student’s schedule. Contact Rehn by PM to set up a day and a time. KI mail him at KI# 80428, or on Discord at r’Tayrtahn#1317.

(10/07 13:32:05) Claidi Song: All classes are Monday through Friday, only. There are no weekend classes available.

(10/07 13:32:10) Claidi Song: Though, daytime availability is subject to change with little or no notice.

(10/07 13:32:14) Claidi Song: If you are going to contact him by KI-mail, remember to include your KI #.

(10/07 13:32:26) Claidi Song: —–

(10/07 13:32:33) Claidi Song: Now for some exciting news…

(10/07 13:32:40) Claidi Song: Another victim… er, student… has finished the 101 lessons and is working on their final exam.

(10/07 13:32:51) Claidi Song: —–

(10/07 13:32:57) Claidi Song: Now for some exciting news…

(10/07 13:33:07) Claidi Song: oops said that lol

(10/07 13:33:11) ShilohOBrien perks up…

(10/07 13:33:14) Claidi Song: The Guild of Instructors’ Hood will be open and public unless a class is in session.

(10/07 13:33:21) Claidi Song: We have one request for visitors: Please do not post pellet points into the Hood imager…

(10/07 13:33:26) Claidi Song: One of our former students, Yutiel, is listed on that imager. we have refrained from posting pellets to maintain her name at the top as a form of memorial. It’s why we haven’t posted pellet points above 168345: it was to keep her name at the top of the list.

(10/07 13:33:34) Claidi Song: She was a great student and became a close friend in the process.

(10/07 13:33:43) Claidi Song: She was another explorer who left us way too soon.

(10/07 13:33:49) Claidi Song: Are there any questions?

(10/07 13:34:01) Claidi Song: That I can aswner, maybe?

(10/07 13:34:14) IwonK: what is the meaning of life?

(10/07 13:34:15) Claidi Song: Moving on…

(10/07 13:34:20) Claidi Song: The second announcement is about r’Taytahn’s Story Night.

(10/07 13:34:23) rarified: 42

(10/07 13:34:24) Claidi Song: In August, we started the story from the novel, Myst: The Book of D’ni. There are eight parts, total. As there is no Story Night, today, next week will be part eight. After that, we will begin the story from the game of Exile. Next week is story number 82 of 104 in the story cycle of the history of D’ni.

(10/07 13:34:27) IwonK says DOH!

(10/07 13:34:28) caver1: 42

(10/07 13:34:31) Claidi Song: So, there is still plenty of history to go!

(10/07 13:34:36) Claidi Song: As I said, after the Book of D’ni, we will begin the story from the game of Exile. Eventually, we will cover all of the books and games. as well as the three human attempts at the restoration of D’ni!

(10/07 13:34:41) Claidi Song: r’Tay is recording Story Night for (eventual) upload to his YouTube channel (rTayrtahn). He has 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. 😉

(10/07 13:34:46) Claidi Song: Currently, he is caught up with video compression and has uploaded three more stories to the channel. Unfortunately, he has a sizable backlog of videos to edit and upload. To his channel subscribers, please be patient; he is slowly working through it. :-)S

(10/07 13:34:54) Claidi Song: SNight is held in the public neighborhood of Tsahno’s Hood every Saturday.

(10/07 13:35:25) Minasunda: but not today 😉

(10/07 13:35:56) Claidi Song: Since r’Tay is traveling that makes sense 🙂

(10/07 13:36:18) Claidi Song: 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.

(10/07 13:36:24) Claidi Song: 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 14:00 KI or 30 minutes after the AGM, whichever is later.

(10/07 13:36:49) Claidi Song: There will be no Story Night today due to it being a family member’s birthday weekend and r’Tay will be traveling. 🙂

(10/07 13:36:55) Claidi Song: Good excuse :))

(10/07 13:37:10) Claidi Song: Should he need to cancel one of the stories at the last minute, he will try to aprise one or two of his regular audience members of the situation so they can spread the news. :-)Minasunda is one of those members, as she runs the announcements channel on Discord.

(10/07 13:37:14) Claidi Song: Done 🙂

(10/07 13:37:23) Claidi Song: The stories are told using voice so you will need to have your speakers or headsets on.

(10/07 13:37:28) Claidi Song: 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. 🙂

(10/07 13:37:33) Claidi Song: We hope to see you there!

(10/07 13:37:40) Claidi Song: Any questions about D’ni Classes or r’Taytahn’s Story Nights, that I may be able to answer? Lol

(10/07 13:37:49) Claidi Song takes off the shokhootahn Rehn surrogate hat

(10/07 13:37:59) Claidi Song: We all look forward to news about fan created ages in the works for MOULa!

(10/07 13:38:06) Claidi Song: And have we got news!

(10/07 13:38:14) Claidi Song: To begin, rarified has information about the progress in fan created ages possibly coming to MOULa.

(10/07 13:38:18) Claidi Song beckons you

(10/07 13:38:18) Claidi Song: The stage is yours rarified!

(10/07 13:38:24) rarified blinks

(10/07 13:38:34) Emor D’ni Lap applauds

(10/07 13:38:46) rarified: Shorah Y’All!

(10/07 13:39:17) rarified: Despite fits and starts and RL on my part, the patient contributors and testers have

(10/07 13:39:42) rarified: continued to roll forward with enough updates and new things to start scheduling

(10/07 13:39:49) rarified: for the next MOULa update.

(10/07 13:40:15) rarified: The bottom line is, if all goes well — crossing fingers — we should be able to deliver

(10/07 13:40:21) Kayara: woot woot

(10/07 13:40:37) rarified: the updates to Cyan late this month. That doesn’t mean (yet) it will be on MOULa,

(10/07 13:40:58) rarified: but it will be on the Cyan testing (staging) server, and our test clan will be busy

(10/07 13:41:11) rarified: trying to make sure nothing surprising creeps in.

(10/07 13:41:33) rarified: I try to schedule two weeks or so on the staging server, so if nothing is found,

(10/07 13:41:53) rarified: we should have an update early-mid November. Hopefully not a turkey! 😛

(10/07 13:42:08) Claidi Song starts to laugh

(10/07 13:42:22) ShilohOBrien: WOOT!!!

(10/07 13:42:28) rarified: We have updates to ages, possibly something new, and improvements both

(10/07 13:42:33) Cave woman: We like to see turkeys in the wild

(10/07 13:42:34) Kayara: woot woot

(10/07 13:42:54) rarified: to old and new things. Thanks to our contributors (too numerous to list here)

(10/07 13:43:10) rarified: and testers (ditto) for a lengthy cycle.

(10/07 13:43:35) rarified: I don’t want to reveal specifics, so if you know contributors (or if any are still

(10/07 13:43:44) rarified: waiting to talk) beat on them.

(10/07 13:43:50) rarified: Questions?

(10/07 13:43:56) Claidi Song: No questions in the queue

(10/07 13:44:10) ural: List of future ages?

(10/07 13:44:21) rarified: Ok. We keep chugging in the depths of the cavern, and will emerge when

(10/07 13:44:24) rarified: the dust settles.

(10/07 13:44:35) caver1: How big is the update?

(10/07 13:44:52) rarified: Ural, unfortunately not now. We don’t do a fixed schedule because … volunteers.

(10/07 13:45:05) rarified: The release announcement will list all the additions and changes.

(10/07 13:45:06) ural: K

(10/07 13:45:32) Claidi Song: Thank you, rarified!

(10/07 13:45:33) rarified: I haven’t assembled the changes into a update bundle caver1, so I can’t say yet.

(10/07 13:45:37) rarified bows

(10/07 13:45:58) Emor D’ni Lap: ty for all your work rarified

(10/07 13:45:59) Claidi Song: Hope I didn’t cut you off, rarified.

(10/07 13:46:15) Claidi Song: Now from a fan age creator.

(10/07 13:46:16) rarified: Not at all Claidi Song

(10/07 13:46:22) Claidi Song: TikiBear is working on an age for MOULa and he is here to tell us the IC backstory of that age.

(10/07 13:46:28) Claidi Song beckons you

(10/07 13:46:28) Claidi Song: Please, welcome TikiBear!

(10/07 13:47:03) TikiBear: EEk so much lag!

(10/07 13:47:31) TikiBear: The new Age of Mirtahm is being restored by ametist and myself.

(10/07 13:47:42) TikiBear: I have prepared notes.

(10/07 13:48:01) TikiBear: Mirtahm was found by Rebus and his friends. ametist and I have been restoring the Age.

(10/07 13:48:22) TikiBear: An Age deserted, apparently, after a cataclysmic flood that leaves much under water.

(10/07 13:48:45) TikiBear: There are structures remaining above the water where we have been working.

(10/07 13:49:18) ShilohOBrien: A D’ni version of Venice?

(10/07 13:49:31) TikiBear: From what we have found, we deduce that the D’ni rescued and evacuated the original inhabitants.

(10/07 13:49:31) ural: Water world?

(10/07 13:49:51) Eternal Seeker: Atlantis !

(10/07 13:50:12) TikiBear: Actually, I am looking at an inundated hood, to be called Bevenice. But, that’s for later.

(10/07 13:50:30) ShilohOBrien: *blink-blink*

(10/07 13:50:31) IwonK: Ved’nice 😛

(10/07 13:50:44) Anatheia begins to laugh.

(10/07 13:50:56) TikiBear: The D’ni stayed on for some time, with a small crew, to excavate a mineral.

(10/07 13:51:16) TikiBear: Now, after some cleanup, the age is peaceful, if moody.

(10/07 13:52:02) TikiBear: That explains where we are with restoration. The devil, as always, is in the details, which we are working through.

(10/07 13:52:24) TikiBear: I’m not sure when the Age will be made available.

(10/07 13:52:32) TikiBear: Are there questions?

(10/07 13:52:41) Claidi Song: No questions in the queue

(10/07 13:52:51) ShilohOBrien: Should we use Maintainer suits on our first visit?

(10/07 13:52:53) ural: Will we be able to dive?

(10/07 13:53:00) ShilohOBrien: Or scuba gear?

(10/07 13:53:09) TikiBear: We look forward to everyone getting to see Miartahm.

(10/07 13:53:25) Anatheia: Bravo, ametist and Tiki!

(10/07 13:53:37) caver1: How about a sub?

(10/07 13:53:40) Claidi Song: Thank you, TikiBear!

(10/07 13:53:51) TikiBear: Yes, therewill be plenty of swimming and diving… though ther are fauna to contend with.

(10/07 13:53:54) TikiBear: Thank you!

(10/07 13:54:11) ShilohOBrien makes a note to bring a spear-gun to her relto.

(10/07 13:54:13) Claidi Song: More news about fan ages coming to MOULa . . .

(10/07 13:54:25) Claidi Song: Semjay reports that her new age, The Explorers’ Emporium, is still being refurbished. She is hoping to have it ready for testing by Christmas.

(10/07 13:54:39) Claidi Song: For those who have seen the Emporium in Deep Island this will be exciting news. Semjay’s refurbishing is adding even more fun to the age.

(10/07 13:55:04) Claidi Song: So, we have much to look forward to.

(10/07 13:55:14) Claidi Song: —–

(10/07 13:56:07) ShilohOBrien: I’m so OOOOOLLLLDDD!!!

(10/07 13:04:16) skyisblu: Hi everybody, I just wanted to come up here and remind you all that every first Monday of the month, I host Cooking Sessions with Sky, a live cooking stream. Just last week, we made Okonomiyaki, a Japanese savory pancake with cabbage and seafood, topped with bacon, a barbecue-style sauce, and Kewpie mayonnaise.
(10/07 13:04:32) ShilohOBrien: Great! Now I'm hungry.
(10/07 13:04:34) skyisblu: (pause for drooling)
(10/07 13:04:37) skyisblu: 😀
(10/07 13:04:39) rarified: Delivery?
(10/07 13:04:41) Emor D'ni Lap: FEED US
(10/07 13:04:52) Claidi Song: lol
(10/07 13:04:56) skyisblu: If this sounds absolutely delicious, you're not too late to enjoy the cooking session: I upload every video to Youtube, and post the accompanying recipes(with lots of photos) to a blog, which you can find here : https://cookingsessionswithsky.blogspot.com/
(10/07 13:05:20) skyisblu: Every month is something new and different, a lot of times inspired by what is coming from my garden, or what is in season in my corner of the world. We also gather together in the Guild of Caterers' Hood during the livestream, and I try to answer any questions regarding the recipe I am cooking, other dishes or cuisines, ingredient substitutions – so if you have any burning questions about cooking, it's the place to be.
(10/07 13:05:48) skyisblu: Also, if you have any suggestions for future cooking sessions, I am always open to trying out new things and sharing my experience and results with everyone, however successful they are. Or not – I did have a couple of mishaps recently when attempting to make "blue foods" that ended up more grey and less edible 😉
(10/07 13:06:21) skyisblu: So the cooking stream is every first Monday of the month at 12 KI, broadcast live on Twitch at https://www.twitch.tv/skyisblu_is_me and then reposted on the blog. I post reminders and hints on the social media platforms about a week before. And for an added bonus, I explain the recipe in both English and French, to include more of the community.
(10/07 13:06:48) skyisblu: The next session is scheduled for Monday, November 6th, at 12 KI – no idea what I am making yet, but if anyone has any ideas, I am always open to suggestions 😀 I hope to see you there!
(10/07 13:06:58) IwonK: pierogi 😉
(10/07 13:07:09) skyisblu: LOL IwonK 😉
(10/07 13:07:15) skyisblu: Any questions?

(10/07 13:07:46) Claidi Song: yes from ShilohOBrian
(10/07 13:08:07) Claidi Song: Would you consider doing a cooking class at Mysterium on year?
(10/07 13:08:17) Claidi Song: *one year
(10/07 13:08:43) Emor D'ni Lap: hotel regulations
(10/07 13:08:59) skyisblu: I have been considering that, since next year is in my hometown 😉 I will have to wait until the venue is announced, and then approach that location to see what the possibility is for doing a cooking session on site.
(10/07 13:09:08) ShilohOBrien: Woot!!!
(10/07 13:09:30) skyisblu: Some hotels don't look to kindly on cooking with an open flame indoors 😉
(10/07 13:09:32) Claidi Song: That's all the questions from the queue.

(10/07 13:10:56) Claidi Song: Cyan's Mysterium rep 🙂
(10/07 13:11:20) Calum Traveler: again, cyan's not got anything on me or mysterium but, ehrg. semantics at this point.
(10/07 13:11:36) Calum Traveler: mysterium stuff first, then a bit of cavern stuff.
(10/07 13:11:38) Calum Traveler: First: A new Mysterium blogpost has been posted! Time for the usual news roundup from it. Full blogpost can be found here: https://mysterium.net/2023/10/pins-2/
(10/07 13:11:48) Calum Traveler: in summary
(10/07 13:11:50) Calum Traveler: Pin Submissions for Mysterium 2024 are open until March 31st. You're not required to follow the Mysterium Theme, but if you want to incorporate it, this year's theme is Serenia. As a tangential reminder, Shirt Submissions are open until February 25th. You can find information for these submissions at: https://mysterium.net/submissions/pin-design-submissions/ and https://mysterium.net/submissions/shirt-design-submissions/
(10/07 13:12:03) Calum Traveler: The August Creativity Prompt Winners for "Blazing" were laughingpineapple with the artwork "Blazing Mentor" and Salvo Ludis with the story "The Bad Ending"
(10/07 13:12:18) Calum Traveler: This months prompt theme is "Noir." The color, the detective style, longer darker nights, fear of the outside/night, creeping dread, a darkness falling, etc.
(10/07 13:13:18) Calum Traveler squints for a moment, and mumbles, 'did i do the pin announcement?'
(10/07 13:13:30) ShilohOBrien: Yes you did.
(10/07 13:13:32) Calum Traveler: ok
(10/07 13:13:40) Calum Traveler: a bit of cavern news then
(10/07 13:13:43) Claidi Song claps her hands
(10/07 13:13:43) Claidi Song: It's good to have someone keeping us up on the news from Cyan, etc :))
(10/07 13:13:52) Calum Traveler: Next: A quick update from the Restoration regarding something that has been a long way for a really long time.
(10/07 13:14:04) Calum Traveler: Back in 2007, the DRC locked open the doors to the Library and Museum in Ae'gura due to technical issues with the automatic sensors that were causing the doors to close in peoples faces, or stay shut when they should have opened. They have been locked open ever since.
(10/07 13:14:18) Calum Traveler: That's almost 17 years it's been like that! Definitely longer than the DRC ever thought it'd be, I'd wager.
(10/07 13:14:29) ShilohOBrien nods grimly
(10/07 13:14:31) Calum Traveler: After several rounds of hard work from our resident techwizard Hazado, and riggorous testing of the mechanisms from the volunteer testers, I am pleased to announce that we have hammered out the original issues, and in the coming weeks, will be unlocking the DRC's 'temporary' fix of the problem, and restoring the doors to proper functionality.
(10/07 13:14:51) Calum Traveler: The doors should now:
(10/07 13:14:57) Calum Traveler: Properly open and close for a person entering and exiting their sensor regions.
(10/07 13:15:05) Calum Traveler: Properly stay open if multiple people are inside the sensor region and not close again until all people have exited the sensor region.
(10/07 13:15:17) Calum Traveler: In our testing, we have tried to take into account the possibility that someone may link out while inside the sensor region, and we have calibrated it to not close again until another person has successfully entered and exited the region properly.
(10/07 13:15:34) Calum Traveler: We will be keeping our ears open incase this is not functioning as intended, as this is technically more of a temporary fix and we would prefer it if the doors would close again after a region is exited via linking, but that is something we weren't able to get the sensors to recognize at this time.
(10/07 13:15:55) Calum Traveler: (This is a problem we've noticed with other automatic sensor doors elsewhere in the Cavern, and personally, I suspect the D'ni who designed the sensors didn't anticipate people who had personal linking books deciding to link out in unexpected places like in the middle of an open doorway!)
(10/07 13:16:22) Calum Traveler: Hazado has also adjusted the sensor regions as well to trigger earlier than they used to, when approaching in certain directions, to ensure that the doors will not be closed by the time you reach them, which hopefully should not cause anyone running for a presumed empty doorway to run into them.
(10/07 13:16:39) Calum Traveler reaches end of prepared notes.
(10/07 13:16:48) Calum Traveler: alright that's it from me.
(10/07 13:16:50) Calum Traveler bows
(10/07 13:16:50) Claidi Song claps her hands

(10/07 13:25:15) Minasunda: To celebrate the return of the Magic Bot's and also to say THANK YOU to our Mir-O-Bot for remaining loyal to us despite all the difficulties, we are planning…
(10/07 13:25:25) Minasunda: …. of course a party :)) Next Saturday on October 14th at 11:30 KI Time in Mir-O-Bot's Kalamee. To get there, PM Mir-O-Bot (KI 32319) "to kalamee".
(10/07 13:25:36) Minasunda: Music will be streamed by Eternal Seeker: www.urutunes.com/Seeker
(10/07 13:25:46) Minasunda: The Nulp Dance Group opens the evening with a short but cool performance.
(10/07 13:25:56) Minasunda: In order to see all the effects, it is important not to use an internal client. Please come to the party with your normal MOULa client.
(10/07 13:26:06) Minasunda: After the performance, it's your turn to dance to your heart's content. And no, this time there is no "guided dance" 😉 But….
(10/07 13:26:16) Minasunda: … You can dance with a partner of your choice. There are different dances for this. You can access this with PM to Magic-Bot as follows:
(10/07 13:26:29) Minasunda: dancewith [name] [x] – or simply dcw [name] [x]
(10/07 13:26:38) Minasunda: slowdancewith [name] [x] – or simply sldw [name] [x]
(10/07 13:26:46) Minasunda: [name] means the avatar name of your desired dance partner. [x] stands for the number of repetitions (max. 3)
(10/07 13:26:55) Minasunda: And I'm also very happy that, thanks to Mister Magic, you now have the 7 dances that we used to do with the "guided dance" at your free disposal.
(10/07 13:27:04) Minasunda: for this PM to Magic-Bot:
(10/07 13:27:13) Minasunda: minadance[x] [name]
(10/07 13:27:22) Minasunda: Here too, [name] means the avatar name of your desired dance partner. [x] stands for the desired dance – i.e. 1 to 7 – where the odd numbers are slightly faster dances and the even numbers are slightly slower dances.
(10/07 13:27:32) Minasunda: But please – be polite and ask your desired dance partner to dance beforehand. 😀
(10/07 13:27:43) Minasunda: Also note that after calling the command, you will automatically be teleported to your dance partner and take a step backwards to assume the correct position. Make sure that your dance partner is not looking into an abyss, otherwise you would fall 😉
(10/07 13:27:55) Minasunda: By the way: these dances don't just work at the event – you can use them with Magic Bot at any time 😉
(10/07 13:28:06) Minasunda: I can send you an KI-mail with the dance commands. If you want this, please let me know 🙂
(10/07 13:28:18) IwonK: I want one 😀
(10/07 13:28:21) Minasunda: Ah. on more 😉 …
(10/07 13:28:26) judyg: me too!
(10/07 13:28:32) Minasunda: Karel is doing another music session in the pub next Friday, October 13th at 13 KI Time: "Game Music over the Years". music:www.urutunes.com/Karel
(10/07 13:28:48) Minasunda: That's all from me. Any questions ?
(10/07 13:28:55) Claidi Song: No questions in the queue
(10/07 13:29:01) Minasunda thanks you

(10/07 13:30:56) Claidi Song is checking something out
(10/07 13:31:06) Calum Traveler: none of the shoko's or r'tay are online atm
(10/07 13:31:10) Claidi Song: shokhootahn Rehn is traveling today and couldn't join us.
(10/07 13:31:15) Calum Traveler: might have to hold off until end of show
(10/07 13:31:16) Claidi Song: He didn't forget us, however,
(10/07 13:31:24) Claidi Song: he sent his surrogate hat.
(10/07 13:31:26) Eternal Seeker: no Shoko here and no Storynight today
(10/07 13:31:32) Claidi Song dons the shokhootahn Rehn surrogate hat and reads from the notes sent.
(10/07 13:31:38) Claidi Song: I have two separate announcements.
(10/07 13:31:43) Claidi Song: One is for the D'ni Language Class and the other one is for r'Tayrtahn's Story Night.
(10/07 13:31:54) Claidi Song: First, the language classes…
(10/07 13:31:56) IwonK: shoko… shoko… now i know why I'm thinking about chocolate 😛
(10/07 13:32:00) Claidi Song: There are evening classes available on weekday evenings on Tuesday through Friday starting at 20:00, 21:00 or 22:00 KI time, depending on the student's schedule. There are daytime openings starting at either 12:00 KI time, 13:00 KI time, or 14:00 KI time, again, depending on the student's schedule. Contact Rehn by PM to set up a day and a time. KI mail him at KI# 80428, or on Discord at r'Tayrtahn#1317.
(10/07 13:32:05) Claidi Song: All classes are Monday through Friday, only. There are no weekend classes available.
(10/07 13:32:10) Claidi Song: Though, daytime availability is subject to change with little or no notice.
(10/07 13:32:14) Claidi Song: If you are going to contact him by KI-mail, remember to include your KI #.
(10/07 13:32:26) Claidi Song: —–
(10/07 13:32:33) Claidi Song: Now for some exciting news…
(10/07 13:32:40) Claidi Song: Another victim… er, student… has finished the 101 lessons and is working on their final exam.
(10/07 13:32:51) Claidi Song: —–
(10/07 13:32:57) Claidi Song: Now for some exciting news…
(10/07 13:33:07) Claidi Song: oops said that lol
(10/07 13:33:11) ShilohOBrien perks up…
(10/07 13:33:14) Claidi Song: The Guild of Instructors' Hood will be open and public unless a class is in session.
(10/07 13:33:21) Claidi Song: We have one request for visitors: Please do not post pellet points into the Hood imager…
(10/07 13:33:26) Claidi Song: One of our former students, Yutiel, is listed on that imager. we have refrained from posting pellets to maintain her name at the top as a form of memorial. It's why we haven't posted pellet points above 168345: it was to keep her name at the top of the list.
(10/07 13:33:34) Claidi Song: She was a great student and became a close friend in the process.
(10/07 13:33:43) Claidi Song: She was another explorer who left us way too soon.
(10/07 13:33:49) Claidi Song: Are there any questions?
(10/07 13:34:01) Claidi Song: That I can aswner, maybe?
(10/07 13:34:14) IwonK: what is the meaning of life?
(10/07 13:34:15) Claidi Song: Moving on…
(10/07 13:34:20) Claidi Song: The second announcement is about r'Taytahn's Story Night.
(10/07 13:34:23) rarified: 42
(10/07 13:34:24) Claidi Song: In August, we started the story from the novel, Myst: The Book of D'ni. There are eight parts, total. As there is no Story Night, today, next week will be part eight. After that, we will begin the story from the game of Exile. Next week is story number 82 of 104 in the story cycle of the history of D'ni.
(10/07 13:34:27) IwonK says DOH!
(10/07 13:34:28) caver1: 42
(10/07 13:34:31) Claidi Song: So, there is still plenty of history to go!
(10/07 13:34:36) Claidi Song: As I said, after the Book of D'ni, we will begin the story from the game of Exile. Eventually, we will cover all of the books and games. as well as the three human attempts at the restoration of D'ni!
(10/07 13:34:41) Claidi Song: r'Tay is recording Story Night for (eventual) upload to his YouTube channel (rTayrtahn). He has 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. 😉
(10/07 13:34:46) Claidi Song: Currently, he is caught up with video compression and has uploaded three more stories to the channel. Unfortunately, he has a sizable backlog of videos to edit and upload. To his channel subscribers, please be patient; he is slowly working through it. :-)S
(10/07 13:34:54) Claidi Song: SNight is held in the public neighborhood of Tsahno's Hood every Saturday.
(10/07 13:35:25) Minasunda: but not today 😉
(10/07 13:35:56) Claidi Song: Since r'Tay is traveling that makes sense 🙂
(10/07 13:36:18) Claidi Song: 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.
(10/07 13:36:24) Claidi Song: 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 14:00 KI or 30 minutes after the AGM, whichever is later.
(10/07 13:36:49) Claidi Song: There will be no Story Night today due to it being a family member's birthday weekend and r'Tay will be traveling. 🙂
(10/07 13:36:55) Claidi Song: Good excuse :))
(10/07 13:37:10) Claidi Song: Should he need to cancel one of the stories at the last minute, he will try to aprise one or two of his regular audience members of the situation so they can spread the news. :-)Minasunda is one of those members, as she runs the announcements channel on Discord.
(10/07 13:37:14) Claidi Song: Done 🙂
(10/07 13:37:23) Claidi Song: The stories are told using voice so you will need to have your speakers or headsets on.
(10/07 13:37:28) Claidi Song: 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. 🙂
(10/07 13:37:33) Claidi Song: We hope to see you there!
(10/07 13:37:40) Claidi Song: Any questions about D'ni Classes or r'Taytahn's Story Nights, that I may be able to answer? Lol
(10/07 13:37:49) Claidi Song takes off the shokhootahn Rehn surrogate hat
(10/07 13:37:59) Claidi Song: We all look forward to news about fan created ages in the works for MOULa!
(10/07 13:38:06) Claidi Song: And have we got news!
(10/07 13:38:14) Claidi Song: To begin, rarified has information about the progress in fan created ages possibly coming to MOULa.
(10/07 13:38:18) Claidi Song beckons you

(10/07 13:39:42) rarified: continued to roll forward with enough updates and new things to start scheduling
(10/07 13:39:49) rarified: for the next MOULa update.
(10/07 13:40:15) rarified: The bottom line is, if all goes well — crossing fingers — we should be able to deliver
(10/07 13:40:21) Kayara: woot woot
(10/07 13:40:37) rarified: the updates to Cyan late this month. That doesn't mean (yet) it will be on MOULa,
(10/07 13:40:58) rarified: but it will be on the Cyan testing (staging) server, and our test clan will be busy
(10/07 13:41:11) rarified: trying to make sure nothing surprising creeps in.
(10/07 13:41:33) rarified: I try to schedule two weeks or so on the staging server, so if nothing is found,
(10/07 13:41:53) rarified: we should have an update early-mid November. Hopefully not a turkey! 😛
(10/07 13:42:08) Claidi Song starts to laugh
(10/07 13:42:22) ShilohOBrien: WOOT!!!

(10/07 13:43:10) rarified: and testers (ditto) for a lengthy cycle.
(10/07 13:43:35) rarified: I don't want to reveal specifics, so if you know contributors (or if any are still
(10/07 13:43:44) rarified: waiting to talk) beat on them.
(10/07 13:43:50) rarified: Questions?
(10/07 13:43:56) Claidi Song: No questions in the queue
(10/07 13:44:10) ural: List of future ages?
(10/07 13:44:21) rarified: Ok. We keep chugging in the depths of the cavern, and will emerge when
(10/07 13:44:24) rarified: the dust settles.
(10/07 13:44:35) caver1: How big is the update?
(10/07 13:44:52) rarified: Ural, unfortunately not now. We don't do a fixed schedule because … volunteers.

(10/07 13:47:31) TikiBear: The new Age of Mirtahm is being restored by ametist and myself.
(10/07 13:47:42) TikiBear: I have prepared notes.
(10/07 13:48:01) TikiBear: Mirtahm was found by Rebus and his friends. ametist and I have been restoring the Age.
(10/07 13:48:22) TikiBear: An Age deserted, apparently, after a cataclysmic flood that leaves much under water.
(10/07 13:48:45) TikiBear: There are structures remaining above the water where we have been working.
(10/07 13:49:18) ShilohOBrien: A D'ni version of Venice?
(10/07 13:49:31) TikiBear: From what we have found, we deduce that the D'ni rescued and evacuated the original inhabitants.
(10/07 13:49:31) ural: Water world?
(10/07 13:49:51) Eternal Seeker: Atlantis !
(10/07 13:50:12) TikiBear: Actually, I am looking at an inundated hood, to be called Bevenice. But, that's for later.
(10/07 13:50:30) ShilohOBrien: *blink-blink*

(10/07 13:50:44) Anatheia begins to laugh.
(10/07 13:50:56) TikiBear: The D'ni stayed on for some time, with a small crew, to excavate a mineral.
(10/07 13:51:16) TikiBear: Now, after some cleanup, the age is peaceful, if moody.
(10/07 13:52:02) TikiBear: That explains where we are with restoration. The devil, as always, is in the details, which we are working through.
(10/07 13:52:24) TikiBear: I'm not sure when the Age will be made available.
(10/07 13:52:32) TikiBear: Are there questions?
(10/07 13:52:41) Claidi Song: No questions in the queue
(10/07 13:52:51) ShilohOBrien: Should we use Maintainer suits on our first visit?
(10/07 13:52:53) ural: Will we be able to dive?
(10/07 13:53:00) ShilohOBrien: Or scuba gear?
(10/07 13:53:09) TikiBear: We look forward to everyone getting to see Miartahm.

September 2023 All Guilds Meeting Summary
Here is the summary for the 161st All Guilds Meeting, moderated by Claidi Song, along with the raw and cleansed chatlogs!

Contents
Mysterium

☛ Next year’s Mysterium will be held in Canada, in Montreal, QC, so you may want to look up any immigration requirements. There are some pointers at the Location page on the convention’s website.

If you do not have a passport it would be a good idea to look into it soon, since it can take a few months for the application to be processed.

Most importantly, rely on official sources for immigration information. The convention offers those links for convenience, but do not rely on advice from Discord or any other unofficial source.

☛ The theme for 2024 will be Serenia, since it will be the 20th anniversary of Myst IV: Revelation.

Submissions for T-shirt designs are open, and will be accepted until February 25. Details are available on the design page; in general, the committee will look favorably upon designs that incorporate both the year’s theme and the host city.

☛ The creativity prompt for September is “Back to School”; the deadline is September 30. Entries for the “Blazing” prompt for June were from Calum Traveler, KellyC, Triss, Talashar, IwonK, Salvo Ludus, Laughingpineapple, and Floydman.

Events in the Cavern

☛ September is a month of many anniversaries:
- Sunday 10 is the 19th anniversary of the release of Myst IV: Revelation, and the 16th of the Gametap episode “Deception”;
- Monday 18 is the 9th of the Great Crash, when everyone had to reset their KI;
- Tuesday 19 is the 18th anniversary of Myst V: End of Ages, and is also Talk Like a Pirate day;
- Sunday 24 is the day the historical Guild of Writers was founded, and more importantly the 30th anniversary of (the original) Myst; and
- Thursday 28 marks the historical Arrival of the Great King.
☛ IwonK will host a Wonky Talk (on her Twitch channel) on Friday 15 at 15:00 KIT in the Guild of Cookies’ Hood by the heek table. This month’s topic will be non-human characters in games. Feel free to suggest interesting games she could talk (and draw) about. As always, there will be cookies!

OpenUru

Rarified gave a brief comment about schedules and the pipeline into MOULa. They have started to choose what will go into the next update. That means that serious development will stop for a month, and a testing schedule will be announced for the Minkata shards, on the OpenUru Discord server (channel #test).

If all goes well, they should be able to send Cyan the new material for the end of September, with a possible release date for mid-October. There are updates to several ages, and at least one new Age.

How to be a tester (click to expand)

To be a tester, you will need to open an account on the Minkata prime shard; it is highly recommended to read the Tester’s Guide to understand what is expected. To test the cutting edge additions, you can sign up for the Minkata alpha shard.

To report bugs, you can post on the OpenUru Discord server (channels #hood or #dev); on Discord you can ask to be added to the Testers role to be notified of testing requests, which sometimes need quick response in terms of hours, not days.

Fall of D’ni Memorial Island

Christopher Therburg said a few words about his Fall of D’ni Memorial Island project, or Bahn’tefoonet (lit. “island-memorial”) in D’ni. The restoration and conversion is finally complete, and the island should be ready to open with the next update.

Christopher also gave a few bits about the history of the island, which is thought to have been a small D’ni park before the Fall. The memorial is connected to water pipes for filling up the basin; these pipes used to serve a fountain that was found so badly damaged that it was impossible to restore. The island itself was covered in debris when first surveyed. The restoration progress will be detailed in a journal available for reading.

There will be an opening ceremony in Chiso Preniv, and a minute of silence once on the island.

Christopher also briefly talked about the new Age he found a few months ago, somewhere in a house in the Cavern. The name of the Age is Ahnogahlpo (“water-cave”), and it seems to be a garden Age set in an ocean or huge lake, with some islands with holes and caves. The sands of the islands beaches glow strangely at night.

The age is still in the earliest stages of restoration and not yet fully mapped, so it is still a llong way from being safe for public access.

D’ni Language Classes

R’Tayrtahn gave 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.
More about the D’ni Language Classes (click to expand)
- Those who would like to attend the lessons should contact Rehn via PM or KImail (KI# 80428), or on Discord (r’Tayrtahn#1317).
- The Guild of Instructors’ Hood will be open and public unless a class is in session. There are daytime openings Monday to Friday, at 12:00, 13:00 or 14:00 KIT, though availability is subject to change with little or no notice;
- evening openings are on Tuesday to Friday, 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 (KI #27527) or Mimi Bot (KI #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 telling the story of Myst: The Book of D’ni, as told in the novel. After that they will begin the story from Myst III: Exile. 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 😉
More about the Story Nights (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 (KI# 58324) a KImail with your KI number included in the text, so that he can add you to his buddies list.
- Last-minute changes to Story Night times are posted on the left-hand imager in the hood.
Miscellanea

☛ In September, the Fan Ages Expeditions in Deep Island will begin their third cycle! They will start again from the very beginning of fan age building, with creations from 2005.

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

August ended with the CavFunding at 83% (CavCon 2.8) and the reserve at 587%, with no extra expenses.

The next All Guilds Meeting is planned for Saturday, October 7 (Leevot 19) at 13:00 KIT.

Until then!
