(03/07 13:07:20) Ereshkigal: Hi everyone! Do you wonder sometimes about what it would be like to live in an ancient city like D’ni?

(03/07 13:07:40) Ereshkigal: Do you sometimes wonder not only how the D’ni thought, but how other people would have thought and felt throughout history?

(03/07 13:16:30) PodHopper beckons you

(03/07 13:16:30) PodHopper: Come on up, Brooketh

(03/07 13:16:35) Mevvah: ahyoheek

(03/07 13:16:49) *Jodok*: heek heek hurray

(03/07 13:16:57) Prad: lol

(03/07 13:17:00) Brooketh: Shorah, all.

(03/07 13:17:07) Hey, man!: Hang loose, brah! Total stoke comes from doing your own thing with your ohana and best buds, especially when it vibes with, like, the whole cosmic shebang, ya know?

(03/07 13:17:13) Brooketh: The Competitive Myst Online group cordially invites all cavern dwellers to our weekly social Ahyoheek game night, every Saturday from 21-22KI in the Competitive Myst Online Hood. Ahyoheek is a D’ni game very similar to Rock-Paper-Scissors.

(03/07 13:17:27) Brooketh: We are a friendly, social group of Ahyoheek enthusiasts, far less “competitive” than our name would imply. We aim for a relaxed, casual hour of playing and conversation that is fun for all. We welcome you regardless of skill level. If you don’t know how to play, we can quickly teach you; or you may simply wish to hang out and observe.

(03/07 13:17:39) Brooketh: We use a combination of voice and text chat. You don’t need to use a mic, but you should at least have sound enabled so you can hear us.

(03/07 13:18:01) Brooketh: We do hope to see you there!

(03/07 13:18:07) Brooketh: Seek the Heek!

(03/07 13:18:15) Brooketh: Any questions?

(03/07 13:18:17) Prad: Every Week!

(03/07 13:18:24) Lucario1829: haha

(03/07 13:18:27) PodHopper: No questions in the queue.

(03/07 13:18:33) Brooketh bows

(03/07 13:18:33) PodHopper: Thank you, Brooketh!

(03/07 13:18:52) PodHopper: ~~~ Fan Age Expeditions ~~~

(03/07 13:18:55) PodHopper beckons you

(03/07 13:18:55) PodHopper: Come on up, Korov’ev

(03/07 13:19:10) Korov’ev waves hello

(03/07 13:19:10) Korov’ev: Shorah, bivrov!

(03/07 13:19:23) Korov’ev: I bring you an update on the Fan Age Expeditions, on the Deep Island and Open Cave shards!

(03/07 13:19:32) Korov’ev: In February we visited the early works of Andy Legate, and the entries of the 2nd RAD Contest. In TOC, we visited ages released on MOUL in 2022: Elonin, Fahets Highgarden and Eder Naybree.

(03/07 13:19:46) Korov’ev: What’s coming this month? Tomorrow, in TOC, we’ll visit Kalamee, an age originally planned by Cyan, but completed by Semjay. After that, we’ll visit Eder Bahvahnter and the Memorial Island.

(03/07 13:20:09) Korov’ev: In Deep Island, next week we’ll visit the entries of the 3rd RAD contest, and at the end of the month those from the DAWN contest.

(03/07 13:20:23) Korov’ev: The expeditions are on Sunday at 11:00 KIT, starting in Deep Island’s only hood (“/hood”), and in the Fan Ages Touring Club’s Hood in the Open Cave.

(03/07 13:20:32) Korov’ev: oops

(03/07 13:20:35) Korov’ev: Importantly, as the US is starting the Time Saving Dance, for a few weeks starting tomorrow the Expeditions will be at 12:00 KIT (still 19:00 CET).

(03/07 13:20:56) rarified: Archaeologists have been busy :O

(03/07 13:20:58) Korov’ev: forgot to update the other line 🙂

(03/07 13:21:10) Korov’ev: DST will start for me on 29 March, that expedition onward will be back at 11:00 KIT.

(03/07 13:21:18) Korov’ev: There’s also an (uncommented) stream: https://www.twitch.tv/korovvannoort

(03/07 13:21:24) Korov’ev: More info and guidelines can be found at https://forum.guildofwriters.org/viewtopic.php?f=111&t=7140

(03/07 13:21:29) Korov’ev: And that’s all I got! Any questions?

(03/07 13:21:33) Mevvah: Yes

(03/07 13:21:52) PodHopper: none in q

(03/07 13:22:14) Mevvah: For the age tours that are in non-shard ages, do we still need to go to the hood in the shard? Or can we meet somewhere in the main MOULa server?

(03/07 13:22:44) Theo: None of this is in MOULa.

(03/07 13:22:55) Mevvah: Even Kalamee and Bahvahnter?

(03/07 13:23:00) Korov’ev: there are no age tours in MOULa, only Deep Island and TOC

(03/07 13:23:06) Mevvah: Ah

(03/07 13:23:14) Prad: TOC has the newer fan ages by now, too.

(03/07 13:23:17) PodHopper: Cavern Tours are in Moula

(03/07 13:23:18) Korov’ev: In TOC, we meet in the Fan Age Touring CLub hood

(03/07 13:23:24) ShilohOBrien: There may be a Moula tour returning inOctober.

(03/07 13:23:37) Korov’ev: Cavern TOurs are a different thing 😉

(03/07 13:23:49) PodHopper: yes

(03/07 13:24:07) Korov’ev: They’re taking a year off to recharge

(03/07 13:24:16) PodHopper: no other questions?

(03/07 13:24:27) Dreamer3: D’ni batteries are old and have a long recharge time.

(03/07 13:24:37) shokhootahn Rehn: lol

(03/07 13:24:44) PodHopper: Thank you, Korov’ev!

(03/07 13:24:44) Prad: D’nokia cells

(03/07 13:24:49) Korov’ev bows

(03/07 13:24:50) Korov’ev: Back to my seat then!

(03/07 13:24:53) RedUhuru: Prad 🙂

(03/07 13:24:56) Korov’ev: End of line.

(03/07 13:24:57) Prad: 😀

(03/07 13:25:10) PodHopper: ~~~ D’ni Language Class and Story Night ~~~

(03/07 13:25:13) PodHopper beckons you

(03/07 13:25:13) PodHopper: Come on up, shokhootahn Rehn

(03/07 13:25:39) 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.

(03/07 13:25:44) shokhootahn Rehn: First, the language classes…

(03/07 13:25:53) shokhootahn Rehn: There are evening classes available on weekday evenings Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, starting at 20:00, 21:00 or 22:00 KI time, depending on the student’s schedule.

(03/07 13:26:06) shokhootahn Rehn: (there already is a student scheduled for the Friday night classes)

(03/07 13:26:17) shokhootahn Rehn: There are daytime openings on Monday through Friday, starting at either 10:00 KI time, 11:00 KI time, or 12:00 KI time, again, depending on the student’s schedule. Contact me by PM to set up a day and a time, KI mail me at KI# 80428, or on Discord at r’Tayrtahn.

(03/07 13:26:42) shokhootahn Rehn: (Discord is best)

(03/07 13:26:50) shokhootahn Rehn: All classes are Monday through Friday, only. There are no weekend classes available.

(03/07 13:27:00) shokhootahn Rehn: If you are going to contact me by KI-mail, please remember to include your KI #.

(03/07 13:27:09) shokhootahn Rehn: As always, current students can find last-minute updates to class times on the left-hand imager.

(03/07 13:27:36) shokhootahn Rehn: The Guild of Instructors’ Hood will be open and public unless a class is in session.

(03/07 13:27:46) shokhootahn Rehn: I have one request for visitors: Please do not post pellet points into the Hood imager…

(03/07 13:27:56) shokhootahn Rehn: As I’ve said, before, 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.

(03/07 13:28:20) shokhootahn Rehn: Are there any questions?

(03/07 13:28:28) PodHopper: I have one

(03/07 13:28:33) PodHopper: From M. Rogers: are there introductory classes without appointment?

(03/07 13:30:00) shokhootahn Rehn: Unfortunately, no. The 101 class has 6 lessons, though most students usually need an extra week for two of the lessons because of the volume of information.

(03/07 13:30:24) shokhootahn Rehn: Also, my time is somewhatlimited due to surface life.

(03/07 13:30:50) shokhootahn Rehn: The same is true for the other instructors.

(03/07 13:31:04) shokhootahn Rehn: *somewhat limited

(03/07 13:31:52) Mr.Rogers: Thank you.

(03/07 13:31:52) shokhootahn Rehn: Special times may be arranged if the current times are not good for you.

(03/07 13:32:08) shokhootahn Rehn: Contact me on Discord and we can arrange a time for you. 🙂

(03/07 13:32:19) Dreamer3: Is college credit available for D’ni language classes?

(03/07 13:32:19) shokhootahn Rehn: Any other questions?

(03/07 13:32:23) Mr.Rogers: I’m not on Discord, but thank you.

(03/07 13:32:28) Mevvah: Don’t we wish

(03/07 13:32:34) PodHopper: no other in queue

(03/07 13:32:35) shokhootahn Rehn: lol@Dreamer3. nThat would be nice, no?

(03/07 13:32:36) Lucario1829: haha

(03/07 13:32:47) shokhootahn Rehn: Moving on…

(03/07 13:32:55) shokhootahn Rehn: The second announcement is about r’Taytahn’s Story Night.

(03/07 13:33:21) shokhootahn Rehn: Today, we will tell the fifth story (#79 of 104) from the novel, Myst: The Book of D’ni!

(03/07 13:33:37) shokhootahn Rehn: Eventually, we cover all of the books and games, as well as the three human attempts at restoration.

(03/07 13:34:15) shokhootahn Rehn: Though, for next week, and in honor of International Women’s Day, I will be telling a special story: Strong Women in D’ni History.

(03/07 13:35:19) shokhootahn Rehn: I am recording Story Night for (eventual) upload to my YouTube channel (rTayrtahn). I have created an avatar for the purpose of recording. His name is “I’m a bot, do not message”. Please do not PM him during the story unless you want to see your message displayed for the entire internet. 😉 Also, please do NOT add him as a buddy. He has no special abilities and is there only to record Story Night.

(03/07 13:35:38) shokhootahn Rehn: As an aside, I am also providing caption translations into several languages: French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish. Since I don’t speak any of those languages, it will be up to my viewers to tell me how well that is working out. 🙂

(03/07 13:35:44) shokhootahn Rehn: Let me know if you would like to see any additional translations.

(03/07 13:35:56) shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night is held in the public neighborhood of Tsahno’s Hood every Saturday.

(03/07 13:36:05) 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.

(03/07 13:36:22) shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night – Europe is held at 14:00 KI time on Saturday afternoon. We start gathering at the hood’s fountain starting at 13:30 KI time except for AGM Saturdays, when it starts at 14:30 KI or 30 minutes after the AGM, whichever is later.

(03/07 13:36:38) shokhootahn Rehn: Lately, it’s been starting at 14:30 on AGM Saturdays. 🙂

(03/07 13:36:47) shokhootahn Rehn: I also post changes on the left-hand imager in the hood.

(03/07 13:36:55) shokhootahn Rehn: Should I need to cancel one of the stories at the last minute, I will try to aprise one or two of my regular audience members of the situation so they can spread the news. 🙂

(03/07 13:37:04) shokhootahn Rehn: Minasunda is one of those members, as she runs the announcements channel on Discord.

(03/07 13:37:13) shokhootahn Rehn: The stories are told using voice so you will need to have your speakers or headsets on.

(03/07 13:37:24) 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. 🙂

(03/07 13:37:51) shokhootahn Rehn: We hope to see you there!

(03/07 13:37:55) shokhootahn Rehn: Any questions?

(03/07 13:38:05) PodHopper: none in queue

(03/07 13:38:11) shokhootahn Rehn thanks you very much!

(03/07 13:38:13) PodHopper: Thank you, shokhootahn Rehn!

(03/07 13:38:30) PodHopper: ~~~ Cavern News ~~~

(03/07 13:38:39) PodHopper beckons you

(03/07 13:38:39) PodHopper: Come on up, Calum

(03/07 13:38:49) Calum Traveler: shorah all,

(03/07 13:38:58) Calum Traveler: last month i told yall that Korov’ev had provided some new documents?

(03/07 13:39:02) Calum Traveler: well, he’s provided more!

(03/07 13:39:35) Calum Traveler: the D’ni, Rivenese, Seranai, and Narani dictionaries will be added next to the Dni Explorer Forum Archives (and the eventual DRC forum archives once i get those from tweek)

(03/07 13:39:43) Calum Traveler: this corner will now be called, “The Reference Corner”

(03/07 13:39:52) Calum Traveler: for all your facutal reference needs!

(03/07 13:39:59) Calum Traveler: caftual*

(03/07 13:40:00) Korov’ev: There will be an examination in June!

(03/07 13:40:00) Calum Traveler: factual**

(03/07 13:40:11) Dreamer3: : )

(03/07 13:40:14) IndigoMoon: lol

(03/07 13:40:18) Lucario1829: lol, sounds useful!

(03/07 13:40:19) Calum Traveler: additionally, after some discussions,

(03/07 13:40:25) Calum Traveler: i have appropriated a new desk for the basement

(03/07 13:40:40) Calum Traveler: Our Dear Friend Minasunda will now have her own desk!

(03/07 13:41:17) Calum Traveler: Additionally, another new Age has just begun the testing rounds,

(03/07 13:41:32) ShilohOBrien: Where are the vaccum cleaners? That basement needs a good cleaning!

(03/07 13:41:33) Mevvah: OoooOOOOoooo

(03/07 13:41:34) Calum Traveler: this one primarily restored by Dulcamara

(03/07 13:41:42) ShilohOBrien: WOOOT!!

(03/07 13:41:44) Calum Traveler: the floor will get sweept up, shiloh

(03/07 13:41:55) Calum Traveler: and im looking for an appropriate welcome mat to place on the link in

(03/07 13:42:12) ShilohOBrien volunteers as tribute…I mean cleaning staff.

(03/07 13:42:25) Calum Traveler: now, the new Age submitted by Dulcamara is LARGE

(03/07 13:42:37) Calum Traveler: larger than the recently announced age that Semjay has put forwards.

(03/07 13:42:41) Calum Traveler: let me put it like this,

(03/07 13:42:45) Calum Traveler: if a Pod age is a Pea,

(03/07 13:42:48) Calum Traveler: and Eder Naybree is a Carrot,

(03/07 13:42:59) Calum Traveler: then the new age is the rest of the chicken pot pie.

(03/07 13:43:07) Mevvah: yAY!!

(03/07 13:43:09) IndigoMoon: whoa

(03/07 13:43:10) caver1: OOOOOOOOO

(03/07 13:43:10) ShilohOBrien blinks

(03/07 13:43:12) Lucario1829: exciting

(03/07 13:43:15) philipgr: Nice

(03/07 13:43:17) Calum Traveler: this is just in terms of sheer scale,

(03/07 13:43:19) Calum Traveler: as such

(03/07 13:43:22) Mr.Rogers: Sounds delicious.

(03/07 13:43:25) Dreamer3: Whoa!

(03/07 13:43:31) Prad: sounds like lots of testing too

(03/07 13:43:31) Calum Traveler: while i still cannot commit to release dates

(03/07 13:43:43) Hey, man!: wow man!

(03/07 13:43:43) ShilohOBrien: Which is coincidentally thename of the age. JK!

(03/07 13:43:43) Ereshkigal: This sounds like it is as big as Spire or Haven!

(03/07 13:43:45) Mevvah rubs her hands together and chuckles maniacally with a rollercoaster grin

(03/07 13:43:48) Calum Traveler: i do expect that the new age will take much longer to go through than the one that Semjay provided,

(03/07 13:44:01) Lucario1829: understandable

(03/07 13:44:08) Dreamer3: Is it based off a deep island fan age or totally new to us?

(03/07 13:44:29) Calum Traveler: so, in terms of release order, its likely that Semjay’s project, Jalargura, will release first, and Dulcamara’s new age, will release after it, assuming other projects dont slip in between

(03/07 13:44:49) Calum Traveler: im still hopeful to get Reischu or Pod12 out this year, but, Descent has been hoarding a lot of resources as well.

(03/07 13:45:13) Lucario1829 nods

(03/07 13:45:18) IndigoMoon: ahh

(03/07 13:45:33) Calum Traveler: Dreamer3 i cannot say for certain, as im not familiar with that particular private release scene

(03/07 13:46:01) Calum Traveler: what i can tell you is that Dulcamara’s project seems to date back to the Pre-Fall era, going by the architecture on the scene,

(03/07 13:46:11) Calum Traveler: it IS an age, as far as i have been told,

(03/07 13:46:18) Calum Traveler: even if it does look like it could be in the Cavern,

(03/07 13:46:22) Ereshkigal: I love pre-Fall D’ni! The more ancient the better

(03/07 13:46:49) Dreamer3: : )

(03/07 13:46:52) Calum Traveler: other than that, ill leave future release information to those dates,

(03/07 13:47:08) Calum Traveler: i know everyone is excited about Descent,

(03/07 13:47:10) Calum Traveler: me too,

(03/07 13:47:26) Calum Traveler: we just have a few more final to-do’s on the physical end for Phase 1,

(03/07 13:47:43) Calum Traveler: we’re hoping to hand the project over to Tweek as well for one final pass over review,

(03/07 13:48:10) ShilohOBrien makes mental note to leave some first aid and survival kits in the Chiso basement.

(03/07 13:48:11) Calum Traveler: it is my hope that this should all be available before Mysterium, BUT i am not going to commit to a date at this time.

(03/07 13:48:12) Prad: read a bit on openuru about it. descent being a cooperative delegated work project now.

(03/07 13:48:26) Calum Traveler: yes, Descent has been bouncing between several teams,

(03/07 13:48:53) Calum Traveler: my overflow crew, Ametist’s, TikiBear’s, and also Semjay’s here and there,

(03/07 13:48:59) Calum Traveler: oh, speaking of Semjay,

(03/07 13:49:07) Calum Traveler: she is working on her own section of the Descent route,

(03/07 13:49:17) Calum Traveler: coming in from behind what should be my end’s Phase 2,

(03/07 13:49:27) Calum Traveler: this area is what most have historically called “The Bug Cave”

(03/07 13:49:45) Mevvah does not like the sound of that nickname

(03/07 13:49:45) Calum Traveler: but that is all the information i have to share at this time,

(03/07 13:49:52) Prad: a challenging section

(03/07 13:50:03) IndigoMoon: interesting

(03/07 13:50:11) Calum Traveler: ostensibly, the connections between Phase 1 and the Bug Cave will have to wait until Phase 2 is completed, regardless of if Semjay finishes her work first or second,

(03/07 13:50:33) Calum Traveler: after all, the bug cave is past the mines and tunnels that make up Phase 2

(03/07 13:51:03) rarified: NB: Calum has been tireless shepherding multiple projects through the pipeline. Thank you, Calum!

(03/07 13:51:03) Calum Traveler: any questions?

(03/07 13:51:10) Mr.Rogers: Will there be maps?

(03/07 13:51:10) Hey, man!: nah

(03/07 13:51:10) PodHopper: From r’Tay: Will the frog cave be included as well?

(03/07 13:51:29) Calum Traveler: r’tay, if someone finds a frog cave, id imagine so.

(03/07 13:51:39) Mevvah: I like frogs much better than bugs…. can thephobic skip the bugs?

(03/07 13:51:43) rarified: If anyone can, Tweek will.

(03/07 13:51:55) ShilohOBrien: It would be ribbit-ing.

(03/07 13:52:07) Calum Traveler: im uncertain, Mevvah, but id imagine that one would just have to find the right nexus terminals,

(03/07 13:52:22) Calum Traveler: there seem to be several along the path, starting from the eder tomahn and going downwards,

(03/07 13:52:33) Dreamer3: I you bring a giant frog with you, the bugs will leave you alone.

(03/07 13:52:40) Mevvah: Done!

(03/07 13:52:43) Calum Traveler: there’s one just past the Shaft Floor, in the Fan Node T Junction,

(03/07 13:52:53) Prad: Or a giant Ytram.

(03/07 13:53:02) Calum Traveler: im hoping to get these terminals connected, but I’m waiting on some prep work on the nexus from Hazado’s end of things.

(03/07 13:53:50) Calum Traveler: so that said if the terminals dont register your KI when Phase 1 releases, just note that theyll be reactivated at a later date.

(03/07 13:54:12) Calum Traveler: theoretically, all one would have to do to bypass the bugcave would be have a link to an area beyond it and find a nexus terminal there.

(03/07 13:54:24) Calum Traveler shrugs

(03/07 13:54:35) Calum Traveler: but we’re still trying to chart out a proper course at this point,

(03/07 13:54:41) Mr.Rogers: In addition to the emergency medical kits, can we stock some headlamps?

(03/07 13:54:55) Calum Traveler: there have been many colapses over the centuries, so the official D’ni route has broken

(03/07 13:55:14) Dreamer3: Does Gehn’s map still work?

(03/07 13:55:30) Mevvah: Good idea, Mr. Rogers

(03/07 13:55:44) Calum Traveler: Mr.Rogers i believe some work is being done towards the KI light, as we’ve found atleast two ‘small scale’ recharge terminals

(03/07 13:55:54) caver1: I have not seen a working head lamp in here.

(03/07 13:56:23) Calum Traveler: Dreamer3 in the abstract, i only have copies of Aitrus’ map so if that’s what you mean by Gehn’s Map,

(03/07 13:56:27) Prad: The DRC people had headlamp helmets

(03/07 13:56:46) Calum Traveler: then to a *slight* degree, yes? I suppose the route works, but it’s not a very detailed map in terms of actual directions,

(03/07 13:56:56) Calum Traveler: and it doesnt account for changes in geography since it was made.

(03/07 13:57:08) Lucario1829: a friend of mine made it through most of the DIRT demo with no torch, i dont think theyll be needing a lamp lol

(03/07 13:57:14) caver1: The DRC lamps do NOT work.

(03/07 13:57:24) Calum Traveler: yes, DRC ResEng’s have headlamp hardhats, no, im not able to requisition them.

(03/07 13:57:28) IndigoMoon: some lights set up along the route will help

(03/07 13:57:32) Prad: it also seems hand drawn … not designed in a CAD program …

(03/07 13:57:54) Calum Traveler: one last question,

(03/07 13:58:00) Calum Traveler: any for me?

(03/07 13:58:02) philipgr: Night vision goggles are perhaps an option

(03/07 13:58:09) PodHopper: none in queue

(03/07 13:58:13) Calum Traveler: any from audience?

(03/07 13:58:16) shokhootahn Rehn: One more question…

(03/07 13:58:19) Calum Traveler: 🙂

(03/07 13:58:40) shokhootahn Rehn: Will there be lights that can be activated aloing the path as in the DIRT demo?

(03/07 13:59:01) Calum Traveler: in Phase 1, or the Bug Cave?

(03/07 13:59:17) shokhootahn Rehn: After phase 1.

(03/07 13:59:30) Calum Traveler: Phase 2 and the Bug Cave, i believe there are lights that can be turned on, yes,

(03/07 13:59:30) shokhootahn Rehn: (the path after teh Great Shaft)

(03/07 13:59:39) Calum Traveler: the mines are particularly dark,

(03/07 13:59:46) Calum Traveler: which seems to be where the KI light terminals come in,

(03/07 14:00:02) Calum Traveler: i’d wager there’s probably some extra power setups going on there as well

(03/07 14:00:22) Hey, man!: did I crash again?

(03/07 14:00:30) Calum Traveler: and i suspect our engineer is going to have her hands full with reconnecting power lines

(03/07 14:00:37) PodHopper: I don’t know Hey, man!

(03/07 14:00:40) Calum Traveler: on that note, im going to call it

(03/07 14:00:42) Calum Traveler bows

(03/07 14:00:43) Mevvah notes the real me would’ve brought her own headlamp and extra batteries on this expedition

(03/07 14:00:45) PodHopper: Thank you, Calum!

(03/07 14:00:47) neurovac claps furiously

(03/07 14:00:53) Claidi Song: \/clap

(03/07 14:00:54) Mevvah: Thanks Traveler!

(03/07 14:00:56) Hey, man!: thx!

(03/07 14:01:08) Prad: wish I could give news for cavern choir but it has been silent there – tomorrow is the official deadline and we have very few sent-ins

(03/07 14:01:09) IndigoMoon: thanks travler, very good info

(03/07 14:01:10) Hey, man! needs a head lamp

(03/07 14:01:15) PodHopper: The next AGM is scheduled for the 4th of April, 2026

(03/07 14:01:17) PodHopper: Thank you everyone for coming to the AGM!

(03/07 14:01:18) Prad: due to the delayed post from us of recording material, due to different reasons (technical or health), thinking about consulting with Babbeltje about extending the deadline about 2 weeks to the 22nd

(03/07 14:01:22) PodHopper thanks you very much!

(03/07 14:01:24) Mevvah: i sent one, Prad

(03/07 14:01:27) PodHopper bows

(03/07 13:17:07) Hey, man!: Hang loose, brah! Total stoke comes from doing your own thing with your ohana and best buds, especially when it vibes with, like, the whole cosmic shebang, ya know?
(03/07 13:17:13) Brooketh: The Competitive Myst Online group cordially invites all cavern dwellers to our weekly social Ahyoheek game night, every Saturday from 21-22KI in the Competitive Myst Online Hood. Ahyoheek is a D'ni game very similar to Rock-Paper-Scissors.
(03/07 13:17:27) Brooketh: We are a friendly, social group of Ahyoheek enthusiasts, far less "competitive" than our name would imply. We aim for a relaxed, casual hour of playing and conversation that is fun for all. We welcome you regardless of skill level. If you don't know how to play, we can quickly teach you; or you may simply wish to hang out and observe.
(03/07 13:17:39) Brooketh: We use a combination of voice and text chat. You don't need to use a mic, but you should at least have sound enabled so you can hear us.
(03/07 13:18:01) Brooketh: We do hope to see you there!
(03/07 13:18:07) Brooketh: Seek the Heek!

(03/07 13:19:46) Korov'ev: What's coming this month? Tomorrow, in TOC, we'll visit Kalamee, an age originally planned by Cyan, but completed by Semjay. After that, we'll visit Eder Bahvahnter and the Memorial Island.

(03/07 13:20:23) Korov'ev: The expeditions are on Sunday at 11:00 KIT, starting in Deep Island's only hood ("/hood"), and in the Fan Ages Touring Club's Hood in the Open Cave.
(03/07 13:20:32) Korov'ev: oops
(03/07 13:20:35) Korov'ev: Importantly, as the US is starting the Time Saving Dance, for a few weeks starting tomorrow the Expeditions will be at 12:00 KIT (still 19:00 CET).
(03/07 13:20:56) rarified: Archaeologists have been busy :O

(03/07 13:22:14) Mevvah: For the age tours that are in non-shard ages, do we still need to go to the hood in the shard? Or can we meet somewhere in the main MOULa server?
(03/07 13:22:44) Theo: None of this is in MOULa.
(03/07 13:22:55) Mevvah: Even Kalamee and Bahvahnter?
(03/07 13:23:00) Korov'ev: there are no age tours in MOULa, only Deep Island and TOC
(03/07 13:23:06) Mevvah: Ah

(03/07 13:25:39) 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.
(03/07 13:25:44) shokhootahn Rehn: First, the language classes…
(03/07 13:25:53) shokhootahn Rehn: There are evening classes available on weekday evenings Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, starting at 20:00, 21:00 or 22:00 KI time, depending on the student's schedule.
(03/07 13:26:06) shokhootahn Rehn: (there already is a student scheduled for the Friday night classes)
(03/07 13:26:17) shokhootahn Rehn: There are daytime openings on Monday through Friday, starting at either 10:00 KI time, 11:00 KI time, or 12:00 KI time, again, depending on the student's schedule. Contact me by PM to set up a day and a time, KI mail me at KI# 80428, or on Discord at r'Tayrtahn.
(03/07 13:26:42) shokhootahn Rehn: (Discord is best)
(03/07 13:26:50) shokhootahn Rehn: All classes are Monday through Friday, only. There are no weekend classes available.
(03/07 13:27:00) shokhootahn Rehn: If you are going to contact me by KI-mail, please remember to include your KI #.
(03/07 13:27:09) shokhootahn Rehn: As always, current students can find last-minute updates to class times on the left-hand imager.
(03/07 13:27:36) shokhootahn Rehn: The Guild of Instructors' Hood will be open and public unless a class is in session.
(03/07 13:27:46) shokhootahn Rehn: I have one request for visitors: Please do not post pellet points into the Hood imager…
(03/07 13:27:56) shokhootahn Rehn: As I've said, before, 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.
(03/07 13:28:20) shokhootahn Rehn: Are there any questions?
(03/07 13:28:28) PodHopper: I have one
(03/07 13:28:33) PodHopper: From M. Rogers: are there introductory classes without appointment?
(03/07 13:30:00) shokhootahn Rehn: Unfortunately, no. The 101 class has 6 lessons, though most students usually need an extra week for two of the lessons because of the volume of information.
(03/07 13:30:24) shokhootahn Rehn: Also, my time is somewhatlimited due to surface life.
(03/07 13:30:50) shokhootahn Rehn: The same is true for the other instructors.
(03/07 13:31:04) shokhootahn Rehn: *somewhat limited
(03/07 13:31:52) Mr.Rogers: Thank you.
(03/07 13:31:52) shokhootahn Rehn: Special times may be arranged if the current times are not good for you.
(03/07 13:32:08) shokhootahn Rehn: Contact me on Discord and we can arrange a time for you. 🙂
(03/07 13:32:19) Dreamer3: Is college credit available for D'ni language classes?
(03/07 13:32:19) shokhootahn Rehn: Any other questions?
(03/07 13:32:23) Mr.Rogers: I'm not on Discord, but thank you.
(03/07 13:32:28) Mevvah: Don't we wish
(03/07 13:32:34) PodHopper: no other in queue
(03/07 13:32:35) shokhootahn Rehn: lol@Dreamer3. nThat would be nice, no?
(03/07 13:32:36) Lucario1829: haha
(03/07 13:32:47) shokhootahn Rehn: Moving on…
(03/07 13:32:55) shokhootahn Rehn: The second announcement is about r'Taytahn's Story Night.
(03/07 13:33:21) shokhootahn Rehn: Today, we will tell the fifth story (#79 of 104) from the novel, Myst: The Book of D'ni!
(03/07 13:33:37) shokhootahn Rehn: Eventually, we cover all of the books and games, as well as the three human attempts at restoration.
(03/07 13:34:15) shokhootahn Rehn: Though, for next week, and in honor of International Women's Day, I will be telling a special story: Strong Women in D'ni History.
(03/07 13:35:19) shokhootahn Rehn: I am recording Story Night for (eventual) upload to my YouTube channel (rTayrtahn). I have created an avatar for the purpose of recording. His name is "I'm a bot, do not message". Please do not PM him during the story unless you want to see your message displayed for the entire internet. 😉 Also, please do NOT add him as a buddy. He has no special abilities and is there only to record Story Night.
(03/07 13:35:38) shokhootahn Rehn: As an aside, I am also providing caption translations into several languages: French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish. Since I don't speak any of those languages, it will be up to my viewers to tell me how well that is working out. 🙂
(03/07 13:35:44) shokhootahn Rehn: Let me know if you would like to see any additional translations.
(03/07 13:35:56) shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night is held in the public neighborhood of Tsahno's Hood every Saturday.
(03/07 13:36:05) 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.
(03/07 13:36:22) shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night – Europe is held at 14:00 KI time on Saturday afternoon. We start gathering at the hood's fountain starting at 13:30 KI time except for AGM Saturdays, when it starts at 14:30 KI or 30 minutes after the AGM, whichever is later.
(03/07 13:36:38) shokhootahn Rehn: Lately, it's been starting at 14:30 on AGM Saturdays. 🙂
(03/07 13:36:47) shokhootahn Rehn: I also post changes on the left-hand imager in the hood.
(03/07 13:36:55) shokhootahn Rehn: Should I need to cancel one of the stories at the last minute, I will try to aprise one or two of my regular audience members of the situation so they can spread the news. 🙂
(03/07 13:37:04) shokhootahn Rehn: Minasunda is one of those members, as she runs the announcements channel on Discord.
(03/07 13:37:13) shokhootahn Rehn: The stories are told using voice so you will need to have your speakers or headsets on.
(03/07 13:37:24) 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. 🙂
(03/07 13:37:51) shokhootahn Rehn: We hope to see you there!
(03/07 13:37:55) shokhootahn Rehn: Any questions?
(03/07 13:38:05) PodHopper: none in queue

(03/07 13:39:35) Calum Traveler: the D'ni, Rivenese, Seranai, and Narani dictionaries will be added next to the Dni Explorer Forum Archives (and the eventual DRC forum archives once i get those from tweek)
(03/07 13:39:43) Calum Traveler: this corner will now be called, "The Reference Corner"
(03/07 13:39:52) Calum Traveler: for all your facutal reference needs!
(03/07 13:39:59) Calum Traveler: caftual*
(03/07 13:40:00) Korov'ev: There will be an examination in June!

(03/07 13:40:19) Calum Traveler: additionally, after some discussions,
(03/07 13:40:25) Calum Traveler: i have appropriated a new desk for the basement
(03/07 13:40:40) Calum Traveler: Our Dear Friend Minasunda will now have her own desk!

(03/07 13:41:17) Calum Traveler: Additionally, another new Age has just begun the testing rounds,
(03/07 13:41:32) ShilohOBrien: Where are the vaccum cleaners? That basement needs a good cleaning!
(03/07 13:41:33) Ereshkigal cheers
(03/07 13:41:33) Mevvah: OoooOOOOoooo
(03/07 13:41:34) Calum Traveler: this one primarily restored by Dulcamara
(03/07 13:41:42) ShilohOBrien: WOOOT!!
(03/07 13:41:44) Calum Traveler: the floor will get sweept up, shiloh
(03/07 13:41:55) Calum Traveler: and im looking for an appropriate welcome mat to place on the link in
(03/07 13:42:12) ShilohOBrien volunteers as tribute…I mean cleaning staff.
(03/07 13:42:25) Calum Traveler: now, the new Age submitted by Dulcamara is LARGE
(03/07 13:42:37) Calum Traveler: larger than the recently announced age that Semjay has put forwards.
(03/07 13:42:41) Calum Traveler: let me put it like this,
(03/07 13:42:45) Calum Traveler: if a Pod age is a Pea,
(03/07 13:42:48) Calum Traveler: and Eder Naybree is a Carrot,
(03/07 13:42:59) Calum Traveler: then the new age is the rest of the chicken pot pie.
(03/07 13:43:07) Mevvah: yAY!!
(03/07 13:43:09) IndigoMoon: whoa
(03/07 13:43:10) caver1: OOOOOOOOO
(03/07 13:43:10) ShilohOBrien blinks
(03/07 13:43:12) Lucario1829: exciting
(03/07 13:43:15) philipgr: Nice
(03/07 13:43:17) Emrai cheers
(03/07 13:43:17) Calum Traveler: this is just in terms of sheer scale,
(03/07 13:43:19) Calum Traveler: as such
(03/07 13:43:22) Mr.Rogers: Sounds delicious.
(03/07 13:43:25) Dreamer3: Whoa!
(03/07 13:43:31) Prad: sounds like lots of testing too
(03/07 13:43:31) Calum Traveler: while i still cannot commit to release dates
(03/07 13:43:43) Hey, man!: wow man!
(03/07 13:43:43) ShilohOBrien: Which is coincidentally thename of the age. JK!
(03/07 13:43:43) Ereshkigal: This sounds like it is as big as Spire or Haven!
(03/07 13:43:45) Mevvah rubs her hands together and chuckles maniacally with a rollercoaster grin
(03/07 13:43:48) Calum Traveler: i do expect that the new age will take much longer to go through than the one that Semjay provided,
(03/07 13:44:01) Lucario1829: understandable
(03/07 13:44:08) Dreamer3: Is it based off a deep island fan age or totally new to us?
(03/07 13:44:29) Calum Traveler: so, in terms of release order, its likely that Semjay's project, Jalargura, will release first, and Dulcamara's new age, will release after it, assuming other projects dont slip in between
(03/07 13:44:49) Calum Traveler: im still hopeful to get Reischu or Pod12 out this year, but, Descent has been hoarding a lot of resources as well.
(03/07 13:45:13) Lucario1829 nods
(03/07 13:45:18) IndigoMoon: ahh
(03/07 13:45:33) Calum Traveler: Dreamer3 i cannot say for certain, as im not familiar with that particular private release scene
(03/07 13:46:01) Calum Traveler: what i can tell you is that Dulcamara's project seems to date back to the Pre-Fall era, going by the architecture on the scene,
(03/07 13:46:11) Calum Traveler: it IS an age, as far as i have been told,
(03/07 13:46:18) Calum Traveler: even if it does look like it could be in the Cavern,
(03/07 13:46:22) Ereshkigal: I love pre-Fall D'ni! The more ancient the better
(03/07 13:46:49) Dreamer3: : )
(03/07 13:46:52) Calum Traveler: other than that, ill leave future release information to those dates,
(03/07 13:47:08) Calum Traveler: i know everyone is excited about Descent,
(03/07 13:47:10) Calum Traveler: me too,
(03/07 13:47:19) JessicaRabbit cheers
(03/07 13:47:26) Calum Traveler: we just have a few more final to-do's on the physical end for Phase 1,
(03/07 13:47:43) Calum Traveler: we're hoping to hand the project over to Tweek as well for one final pass over review,
(03/07 13:48:10) ShilohOBrien makes mental note to leave some first aid and survival kits in the Chiso basement.
(03/07 13:48:11) Calum Traveler: it is my hope that this should all be available before Mysterium, BUT i am not going to commit to a date at this time.
(03/07 13:48:12) Prad: read a bit on openuru about it. descent being a cooperative delegated work project now.
(03/07 13:48:26) Calum Traveler: yes, Descent has been bouncing between several teams,
(03/07 13:48:53) Calum Traveler: my overflow crew, Ametist's, TikiBear's, and also Semjay's here and there,
(03/07 13:48:59) Calum Traveler: oh, speaking of Semjay,
(03/07 13:49:07) Calum Traveler: she is working on her own section of the Descent route,
(03/07 13:49:17) Calum Traveler: coming in from behind what should be my end's Phase 2,
(03/07 13:49:27) Calum Traveler: this area is what most have historically called "The Bug Cave"
(03/07 13:49:45) Mevvah does not like the sound of that nickname
(03/07 13:49:45) Calum Traveler: but that is all the information i have to share at this time,
(03/07 13:49:52) Prad: a challenging section
(03/07 13:50:03) IndigoMoon: interesting
(03/07 13:50:11) Calum Traveler: ostensibly, the connections between Phase 1 and the Bug Cave will have to wait until Phase 2 is completed, regardless of if Semjay finishes her work first or second,
(03/07 13:50:33) Calum Traveler: after all, the bug cave is past the mines and tunnels that make up Phase 2
(03/07 13:51:03) rarified: NB: Calum has been tireless shepherding multiple projects through the pipeline. Thank you, Calum!
(03/07 13:51:03) Calum Traveler: any questions?
(03/07 13:51:10) Mr.Rogers: Will there be maps?
(03/07 13:51:10) Hey, man!: nah
(03/07 13:51:10) PodHopper: From r'Tay: Will the frog cave be included as well?
(03/07 13:51:29) Calum Traveler: r'tay, if someone finds a frog cave, id imagine so.
(03/07 13:51:39) Mevvah: I like frogs much better than bugs…. can thephobic skip the bugs?
(03/07 13:51:43) rarified: If anyone can, Tweek will.
(03/07 13:51:55) ShilohOBrien: It would be ribbit-ing.
(03/07 13:52:07) Calum Traveler: im uncertain, Mevvah, but id imagine that one would just have to find the right nexus terminals,
(03/07 13:52:22) Calum Traveler: there seem to be several along the path, starting from the eder tomahn and going downwards,
(03/07 13:52:33) Dreamer3: I you bring a giant frog with you, the bugs will leave you alone.
(03/07 13:52:40) Mevvah: Done!
(03/07 13:52:43) Calum Traveler: there's one just past the Shaft Floor, in the Fan Node T Junction,
(03/07 13:52:53) Prad: Or a giant Ytram.
(03/07 13:53:02) Calum Traveler: im hoping to get these terminals connected, but I'm waiting on some prep work on the nexus from Hazado's end of things.
(03/07 13:53:50) Calum Traveler: so that said if the terminals dont register your KI when Phase 1 releases, just note that theyll be reactivated at a later date.
(03/07 13:54:12) Calum Traveler: theoretically, all one would have to do to bypass the bugcave would be have a link to an area beyond it and find a nexus terminal there.
(03/07 13:54:24) Calum Traveler shrugs
(03/07 13:54:35) Calum Traveler: but we're still trying to chart out a proper course at this point,
(03/07 13:54:41) Mr.Rogers: In addition to the emergency medical kits, can we stock some headlamps?
(03/07 13:54:55) Calum Traveler: there have been many colapses over the centuries, so the official D'ni route has broken
(03/07 13:55:14) Dreamer3: Does Gehn's map still work?
(03/07 13:55:30) Mevvah: Good idea, Mr. Rogers
(03/07 13:55:44) Calum Traveler: Mr.Rogers i believe some work is being done towards the KI light, as we've found atleast two 'small scale' recharge terminals
(03/07 13:55:54) caver1: I have not seen a working head lamp in here.
(03/07 13:55:58) Mr.Rogers cheers
(03/07 13:56:23) Calum Traveler: Dreamer3 in the abstract, i only have copies of Aitrus' map so if that's what you mean by Gehn's Map,
(03/07 13:56:27) Prad: The DRC people had headlamp helmets
(03/07 13:56:46) Calum Traveler: then to a *slight* degree, yes? I suppose the route works, but it's not a very detailed map in terms of actual directions,
(03/07 13:56:56) Calum Traveler: and it doesnt account for changes in geography since it was made.
(03/07 13:57:08) Lucario1829: a friend of mine made it through most of the DIRT demo with no torch, i dont think theyll be needing a lamp lol
(03/07 13:57:14) caver1: The DRC lamps do NOT work.
(03/07 13:57:24) Calum Traveler: yes, DRC ResEng's have headlamp hardhats, no, im not able to requisition them.
(03/07 13:57:28) IndigoMoon: some lights set up along the route will help
(03/07 13:57:32) Prad: it also seems hand drawn … not designed in a CAD program …
(03/07 13:57:54) Calum Traveler: one last question,
(03/07 13:58:00) Calum Traveler: any for me?
(03/07 13:58:02) philipgr: Night vision goggles are perhaps an option
(03/07 13:58:09) PodHopper: none in queue
(03/07 13:58:13) Calum Traveler: any from audience?
(03/07 13:58:16) shokhootahn Rehn: One more question…
(03/07 13:58:19) Calum Traveler: 🙂
(03/07 13:58:40) shokhootahn Rehn: Will there be lights that can be activated aloing the path as in the DIRT demo?
(03/07 13:59:01) Calum Traveler: in Phase 1, or the Bug Cave?
(03/07 13:59:17) shokhootahn Rehn: After phase 1.
(03/07 13:59:30) Calum Traveler: Phase 2 and the Bug Cave, i believe there are lights that can be turned on, yes,
(03/07 13:59:30) shokhootahn Rehn: (the path after teh Great Shaft)
(03/07 13:59:38) shokhootahn Rehn cheers
(03/07 13:59:39) Calum Traveler: the mines are particularly dark,
(03/07 13:59:46) Calum Traveler: which seems to be where the KI light terminals come in,
(03/07 14:00:02) Calum Traveler: i'd wager there's probably some extra power setups going on there as well
(03/07 14:00:22) Hey, man!: did I crash again?
(03/07 14:00:30) Calum Traveler: and i suspect our engineer is going to have her hands full with reconnecting power lines
(03/07 14:00:37) PodHopper: I don't know Hey, man!
(03/07 14:00:40) Calum Traveler: on that note, im going to call it
(03/07 14:00:42) Calum Traveler bows
(03/07 14:00:43) Mevvah notes the real me would've brought her own headlamp and extra batteries on this expedition

(03/07 14:01:17) PodHopper: Thank you everyone for coming to the AGM!
(03/07 14:01:18) Prad: due to the delayed post from us of recording material, due to different reasons (technical or health), thinking about consulting with Babbeltje about extending the deadline about 2 weeks to the 22nd
(03/07 14:01:22) PodHopper thanks you very much!
(03/07 14:01:24) Mevvah: i sent one, Prad

(02/07 13:08:06) Ereshkigal: Now I’m wondering which games have bunnies

(02/07 13:08:12) IwonK: Its work title is “Rivenium”, we are currently brainstorming ideas for the events and we are looking for people that would like to give some presentations or panels during the event 🙂

(02/07 13:08:21) IwonK: If you want to help, let us know 😀

(02/07 13:08:29) IwonK: For more details, ask me or Kefrith from Mysterium discord where we have a forum for the whole thing 😀

(02/07 13:08:36) IwonK: any Qs in the Q?

(02/07 13:14:07) PodHopper: ~~~ Cavern Choir ~~~

(02/07 13:14:11) PodHopper beckons you

(02/07 13:14:11) PodHopper: Welcome to the platform, Prad

(02/07 13:14:23) *Jodok*: woot woot

(02/07 13:14:33) Prad: Babbeltje and me have am ongoing project bringing back the cavern choir in the works, where I want to give you a status report.

(02/07 13:14:47) Prad: First of all – for everyone who wants to become a member of the choir, we have three simple recommendations for participation:

(02/07 13:14:59) Prad: 1.) You need to be able to sing (to be able to carry a tune, to be exact). I trust on your judgement and people you know well for that – we don’t do a qualifying examination atm.

(02/07 13:15:12) Prad: 2.) You don’t need to be able to read a musical sheet, but you need to be able to sing along a demo voice we provide for each voice of the choir.

(02/07 13:15:26) Prad: 3.) You need something to record music with, like usually microphone + headphone, some PC/Laptop with a soundcard and some recording program (there’s a bunch of freeware which suffices our purposes)

(02/07 13:15:44) Prad: Second about our status: For a planned spring concert we had a brainstorming going between 29th of january and 5th of february in the cavern choir discord channel “cavernchoir-was-moulachoir” of Babbeltjes discord server “Server van VrouwDinges” where people could make song suggestions.

(02/07 13:16:01) Prad: From that we have decided to sing “Happy Birthday” (4 voices, traditional), “Ave Verum Corpus” from W.A. Mozart (4 voices, classical) and “only You” by Voces8/”Flying Pickets” (4 voices, popular ACapella).

(02/07 13:16:20) Prad: The recording tracks which to sing along during the recordings as well as the musical scores (for those who can make use of them – there are always some) will be put on the discord server of babbeltje in the choir channel either end of this week (tomorrow) or start of next week.

(02/07 13:16:37) Prad: So for recording of the songs we will have a timeframe of start of next week until the 8th of march – that will be the deadline for sending in the recordings.

(02/07 13:16:50) Prad: You send in your recordings (which everyone records for themselves – I will do the final mixing) in mp3 format WITHOUT backing track (mute that channel before exporting in your recording program – each software has something like that),

(02/07 13:17:04) Prad: something above 125 kbps but not necessarily above 200 kbps playback bandwidth, to the cavern choir discord channel of Babbeltjes discord server – or contact us in cavern so we can do the data exchange in email attachments if you don’t have a discord account.

(02/07 13:17:20) Prad: The success of a cavern choir depents on participants of course, so I hope that all who are already members of cavern choir or who want to join for the spring concert will have fun in contributing their voices.

(02/07 13:17:33) Prad: Last but not least: Stay healthy (nobody can sing with a strong cold, of course).

(02/07 13:17:43) Prad needs a moment to breathe!

(02/07 13:17:57) Prad: That’s all from me by now.

(02/07 13:18:06) Prad: Questions?

(02/07 13:18:13) PodHopper: No questions in the queue.

(02/07 13:18:17) Prad bows

(02/07 13:18:18) PodHopper: Thank you, Prad!

(02/07 13:18:21) Dreamer3 claps in harmony

(02/07 13:18:34) PodHopper: ~~~ Cavern Book Club ~~~

(02/07 13:18:41) PodHopper beckons you

(02/07 13:18:41) PodHopper: Welcome to the platform, Augur

(02/07 13:18:50) rarified breaks out the reading glasses

(02/07 13:20:27) Augur: For March, in honor of International Women’s Day, we will again be selecting between three speculative fiction novels written by women. We will be meeting on March 21st, at 12:30 KI in Nezetahn’s Hood’s Eder Delin.

(02/07 13:20:44) Augur: The three books are: “Legendborn” by Tracy Deonn, “Circe” by Madeline Miller, and “The Husbands” by Holly Gramazio”.

(02/07 13:20:58) Augur: Descriptions of the books and voting can be done in either the MOULa Community Music, Movies, & Games Discord in the “Book Club” channel or the MOULa Events Discord in the “Discussion MOULa Events” channel.

(02/07 13:21:18) Augur: Please vote for all the books you are interested in, but only in one of the two places to prevent duplicate voting.

(02/07 13:21:33) Augur: You can also message me directly on Discord to vote if that is easier for you. I am “augurdog” there. 🙂

(02/07 13:21:50) Augur: As always everyone is welcome at the Cavern Book Club. By no means do you need to “commit” to coming every meeting. But if a book interests you, join us!

(02/07 13:22:03) Augur: Any questions?

(02/07 13:22:08) PodHopper: No questions in the queue.

(02/07 13:22:12) Prad: I’ve read “The Circle” which is probably a different book – about a fictive google like company …

(02/07 13:22:17) Augur: Thanks all!

(02/07 13:22:18) PodHopper: Thank you, Augur!

(02/07 13:22:36) PodHopper: ~~~ Ayoheek Night ~~~

(02/07 13:22:39) PodHopper: Come on up, Brooketh

(02/07 13:22:56) Brooketh: Shorah, all!

(02/07 13:23:07) Brooketh: The Competitive Myst Online group cordially invites all cavern dwellers to our weekly social Ahyoheek game night, every Saturday from 21-22KI in the Competitive Myst Online Hood. Ahyoheek is a D’ni game very similar to Rock-Paper-Scissors.

(02/07 13:23:17) Brooketh: We are a friendly, social group of Ahyoheek enthusiasts, far less “competitive” than our name would imply. We aim for a relaxed, casual hour of playing and conversation that is fun for all. We welcome you regardless of skill level. If you don’t know how to play, we can quickly teach you; or you may simply wish to hang out and observe.

(02/07 13:23:42) Brooketh: We use a combination of voice and text chat. You don’t need to use a mic, but you should at least have sound enabled so you can hear us.

(02/07 13:23:52) Brooketh: We do hope to see you there!

(02/07 13:23:58) Brooketh: Any questions?

(02/07 13:24:02) PodHopper: No questions in the queue.

(02/07 13:24:09) Brooketh bows

(02/07 13:24:12) PodHopper: Thank you, Brooketh!

(02/07 13:24:32) PodHopper: ~~~ Fan Age Expeditions ~~~

(02/07 13:24:35) PodHopper beckons you

(02/07 13:24:35) PodHopper: Come on up, Korov’ev

(02/07 13:24:45) Dreamer3: Shor Kor!

(02/07 13:24:59) Korov’ev waves hello

(02/07 13:24:59) Korov’ev: Shorah, bivrov!

(02/07 13:25:02) Daniel452: Shorah, Kor 🙂

(02/07 13:25:08) Korov’ev: I bring you an update on the Fan Age Expeditions, on the Deep Island and Open Cave shards!

(02/07 13:25:16) Korov’ev: We kicked off January in DI with a door run and a visit to a couple of ages we missed. Then, we visited few garden and demo ages from 2008: Tunnel Demo, Wianeroy, ERC Age and Torilacha.

(02/07 13:25:23) Korov’ev: Last week (exped. #291), we examined the work of the late Andy Legate: Camp Bravo, Eder Bahvahnin, Eder Tomahn, Andy’s Nexus, Serene.

(02/07 13:25:35) Korov’ev: On the Open Cave, we have begun to visit the fan ages that made it to MOULa!

(02/07 13:25:44) Korov’ev: First those from 2020: Chiso Preniv, New GoMe Pub, Veelay Tsahvahn. Then those from 2021: Tre’bivdil, Vothol Gallery, Serene (again), Tiam.

(02/07 13:26:02) Korov’ev: What’s next this month? In Deep Island, we’ll visit the entries from the 2nd Rapid Age Development Contest, all Ahra Pahts shells. After that, we’ll nose around in Whilyam’s ages 🙂

(02/07 13:26:22) Korov’ev: In the Open Cave, tomorrow we’ll move on to 2022, starting with Elonin and Fahets Highgarden. Eder Naybree is large enough that will get its own expedition on the 22nd 🙂

(02/07 13:26:37) Calum Traveler: ^^;;;

(02/07 13:26:47) Korov’ev: The expeditions are on Sunday at 11:00 KIT, starting in Deep Island’s only hood (“/hood”), and in the Fan Ages Touring Club’s Hood in the Open Cave.

(02/07 13:26:58) Korov’ev: To join, you’ll be asked to sign a liability waiver (in blood). Don’t worry about the micron-sized paragraphs, there’s nothing important there 😉

(02/07 13:27:07) Ereshkigal: 🙂

(02/07 13:27:14) philipgr: lol

(02/07 13:27:14) Korov’ev: There’s also an (uncommented) stream: https://www.twitch.tv/korovvannoort

(02/07 13:27:18) Daniel452: Lol 🙂

(02/07 13:27:31) Prad: lol

(02/07 13:27:41) Korov’ev: a dialect of D’ni, in fact!

(02/07 13:27:52) Korov’ev: More info and guidelines can be found at https://forum.guildofwriters.org/viewtopic.php?f=111&t=7140

(02/07 13:28:01) Korov’ev: And that’s all I got! Any questions?

(02/07 13:28:06) PodHopper: No questions in the queue.

(02/07 13:28:16) PodHopper: Thank you, Korov’ev!

(02/07 13:28:22) Korov’ev: Alright; while I’m here, I have a clarification about the GoMe calendar:

(02/07 13:28:28) Korov’ev: some events, like the Cooking Sessions, have a predictable schedule, so sometimes they may show up despite actually be skipped, if I missed an announcement.

(02/07 13:28:35) Korov’ev: It’s not always 100% authoritative 😉

(02/07 13:28:48) Korov’ev bows

(02/07 13:28:48) Korov’ev: Back to my seat now! End of line.

(02/07 13:29:14) Claidi Song: Thank you for keeping the GOME website going @ Kor

(02/07 13:33:00) shokhootahn Rehn: Are there any questions?

(02/07 13:33:07) PodHopper: No questions in the queue.

(02/07 13:33:13) shokhootahn Rehn: Moving on…

(02/07 13:33:18) shokhootahn Rehn: The second announcement is about r’Taytahn’s Story Night.

(02/07 13:34:14) shokhootahn Rehn: There will be no story on Saturday, the 14th, due to family obligations.

(02/07 13:35:12) shokhootahn Rehn: I am recording Story Night for (eventual) upload to my YouTube channel (rTayrtahn). I have created an avatar for the purpose of recording. His name is “I’m a bot, do not message”. Please do not PM him during the story unless you want to see your message displayed for the entire internet. 😉 Also, please do NOT add him as a buddy. He has no special abilities and is there only to record Story Night.

(02/07 13:35:56) shokhootahn Rehn: (I have a bit of a backlog that Iam slowly working through)

(02/07 13:36:09) shokhootahn Rehn: As an aside, I am also providing caption translations into several languages: French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish. Since I don’t speak any of those languages, it will be up to my viewers to tell me how well that is working out. 🙂

(02/07 13:36:14) shokhootahn Rehn: Let me know if you would like to see any additional translations.

(02/07 13:36:32) shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night is held in the public neighborhood of Tsahno’s Hood every Saturday.

(02/07 13:36:41) 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.

(02/07 13:36:58) shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night – Europe is held at 14:00 KI time on Saturday afternoon. We start gathering at the hood’s fountain starting at 13:30 KI time except for AGM Saturdays, when it starts at 14:30 KI or 30 minutes after the AGM, whichever is later.

(02/07 13:37:20) shokhootahn Rehn: Lately, it’s been starting at 14:30 on AGM Saturdays. 🙂

(02/07 13:37:28) shokhootahn Rehn: I also post changes on the left-hand imager in the hood.

(02/07 13:37:33) *Jodok* wants to ask a question…

(02/07 13:37:42) 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. 🙂

(02/07 13:37:57) shokhootahn Rehn: Minasunda is one of those members, as she runs the announcements channel on Discord.

(02/07 13:38:10) shokhootahn Rehn: The stories are told using voice so you will need to have your speakers or headsets on.

(02/07 13:38:22) 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. 🙂

(02/07 13:38:49) shokhootahn Rehn: We hope to see you there!

(02/07 13:38:59) shokhootahn Rehn: *Jodok*, you have a question?

(02/07 13:39:05) *Jodok*: question is this 2 weeks alternation going on for more time like regularly?

(02/07 13:39:34) shokhootahn Rehn: Not regularly.

(02/07 13:39:49) *Jodok* thanks you

(02/07 13:39:57) PodHopper: no other questions in queue

(02/07 13:39:58) shokhootahn Rehn: There *may* be one more before Story Nigt returns to it’s weekly time table.

(02/07 13:40:16) shokhootahn Rehn: *Night

(02/07 13:40:24) shokhootahn Rehn bows

(02/07 13:40:26) PodHopper: Thank you, shokhootahn Rehn!

(02/07 13:40:32) *Jodok*: thank you

(02/07 13:40:46) PodHopper: ~~~ Mysterium & Cavern News ~~~

(02/07 13:40:49) PodHopper beckons you

(02/07 13:40:49) PodHopper: Come on up, Calum

(02/07 13:41:03) Calum Traveler: i have 3 things today,

(02/07 13:41:09) Calum Traveler: apologies for a little out of orderness

(02/07 13:41:26) Calum Traveler: the first one is a request ive receieved for information by a few concerned explorers,

(02/07 13:41:51) Calum Traveler: our dear Greeter friend Etelka has been MIA for about a month now, and nobody has any information about where she is or what her current status is.

(02/07 13:42:04) Calum Traveler: if you know anything, please pass that information along to Sleeper Jan, or Andrew Yosso

(02/07 13:42:20) Ereshkigal: I hope she’s okay!!!

(02/07 13:42:30) Claidi Song: I hope all is well for her!

(02/07 13:42:31) Calum Traveler: hopefully she’s just busy dealing with IRL stuff and nothing bad has happened, but

(02/07 13:42:37) Calum Traveler: if you know anything, please let them know.

(02/07 13:42:41) Emor D’ni Lap is surprised Andrew has no other contact for Etelka

(02/07 13:42:46) Calum Traveler: second item, Mysterium:

(02/07 13:42:56) Calum Traveler: the Hotel Booking page is now LIVE

(02/07 13:43:07) Calum Traveler: please see https://mysterium.net/location/ for more info

(02/07 13:43:20) Calum Traveler: additionally, A quick reminder that submissions are still open for both shirt and pin designs. Be quick, though, because they are both due by February 27th!

(02/07 13:43:32) Calum Traveler: see https://mysterium.net/submissions/ for more info

(02/07 13:43:47) Calum Traveler: THIRD: Cavern News

(02/07 13:43:58) Calum Traveler: alright folks, this is the Biggone lmao.

(02/07 13:44:02) Calum Traveler: big one*

(02/07 13:44:08) Calum Traveler: first up:

(02/07 13:44:19) PodHopper: <drumroll>

(02/07 13:44:24) Calum Traveler: a new age by Semjay is making its way through the testing paths in Minkata Alpha

(02/07 13:44:32) Cpt.Jericho faints

(02/07 13:44:37) Calum Traveler: i dont foresee any major road blocks on it, so it hopefully should release this year

(02/07 13:44:37) Dreamer3: Woot woot!

(02/07 13:44:55) Calum Traveler: more info to come when we have it settled

(02/07 13:44:58) Calum Traveler: second; Descent

(02/07 13:45:12) Thumbs up from Claidi Song

(02/07 13:45:13) Calum Traveler: similarly, I believe Phase 1 is locked down fairly well and it’s just in the polish stage now.

(02/07 13:45:37) Calum Traveler: once i get some music tracks from Semjay and Maurus, that’s all Im really waiting on

(02/07 13:45:41) Calum Traveler: beyond hammering out tiny details.

(02/07 13:45:49) Calum Traveler: i also believe it SHOULD hopefully release this year.

(02/07 13:45:58) Calum Traveler: where, might you ask?

(02/07 13:46:01) Prad: I loe the scent of Descent in the morning …

(02/07 13:46:04) Calum Traveler: beyond the extant Descent Bahro Stone,

(02/07 13:46:08) Prad: *love*

(02/07 13:46:16) Calum Traveler: i plan on putting out a public Descent link in Chiso Preniv’s basement.

(02/07 13:46:26) Calum Traveler: you probably already know where

(02/07 13:46:29) Daniel452: cool!

(02/07 13:46:32) shokhootahn Rehn nods his head

(02/07 13:46:33) Calum Traveler: Third: Chiso Preniv

(02/07 13:46:56) Calum Traveler: so not much is going to change *too drastically* in Chiso in the coming months… that is, unless you count a ton of books being added 😀

(02/07 13:47:15) *Jodok*: yayyyy

(02/07 13:47:18) Calum Traveler: Korov’ev has recently provided me with three different lore documents, split up into smaller chapter sized volumes,

(02/07 13:47:25) Calum Traveler: the first one is THE LARA DOCUMENTS

(02/07 13:47:45) Korov’ev: Hopefully they’ll be interesting readings 🙂

(02/07 13:47:49) Calum Traveler: as JD Barnes never was able to fully authenticate their validity, they will be going into what is temporarily being called Chiso’s new “Unverified Lineage” shelf

(02/07 13:48:10) Calum Traveler: in future, any documents that seem legit, but could not be plausibly verified, will wind up here.

(02/07 13:48:16) rarified: Are there enough tables for everyone to be reading at the same time :O

(02/07 13:48:37) Calum Traveler: Second, a rename to the extant shelf that had some documents there,

(02/07 13:48:44) Calum Traveler: additionally, new dust covers!

(02/07 13:48:57) *Jodok*: yeepeeee

(02/07 13:49:01) Calum Traveler: Preafter, The Heritage Documents, and Activity in the Cavern will be getting a small visual refresh

(02/07 13:49:11) Calum Traveler: additionally, the other two volumes provided by Korov’ev will be added here

(02/07 13:49:23) Calum Traveler: to what is being now called the Explorers’ Historical Retrospectives shelf.

(02/07 13:49:42) neurovac: this is all fabulous news!

(02/07 13:49:45) Calum Traveler: the first volume is “A Journey without Ending” a series of summary posts by Max, back on the old Guild of Messengers website

(02/07 13:49:49) Korov’ev: Designing book covers is fun 🙂

(02/07 13:50:09) Claidi Song: 🙂

(02/07 13:50:13) Calum Traveler: the second volume is “The Restoration So Far” – a series of retrospectives vidkid posted on the old Myst Online forums,

(02/07 13:50:35) Calum Traveler: it’s not complete yet, but if/when i get the rest of his works, theyll be added.

(02/07 13:50:45) Calum Traveler: now then,

(02/07 13:50:52) Calum Traveler: youll notice ive been mentioning shelf names

(02/07 13:51:11) Calum Traveler: new STANDING SIGNS- with logo artwork done by Keith “Tweek” Lord- will be put in place by various bookshelves

(02/07 13:51:19) Prad: I’ve nearly given up translating to german, gotten behind with translations – I think that game needs translator teams by now – delegating work …

(02/07 13:51:42) Calum Traveler: Unverified Lineage, Explorers Historical Retrospectives, Web Forum Archives, and, Linking Books,

(02/07 13:52:05) Calum Traveler: Linking Books, of course, will be standing next to the Linking Book Shelf.

(02/07 13:52:32) Calum Traveler: when Trebivdil was moved over, i receieved some reports of explorers having trouble finding it and Serene,

(02/07 13:52:43) Calum Traveler: so, these standing signs should help folks find what theyre looking for.

(02/07 13:52:53) Calum Traveler: ah, right, and there’s that fourth one i just mentioned

(02/07 13:52:56) Calum Traveler: Web Forum Archives.

(02/07 13:53:17) Calum Traveler: it has been my own thought, as well as the perspective of a few others, that the Heritage Docs alone are not a “Definitive” perspective on cavern history

(02/07 13:53:40) Calum Traveler: to that end, I’ve always wanted to rectify that by bringing in the actual history in an undeniable format.

(02/07 13:53:58) Calum Traveler: i’ve started that work by backing up the DniExplorer Forums, that Tweek has run the last few years,

(02/07 13:54:11) Calum Traveler: but that is not all i plan on doing

(02/07 13:54:22) Calum Traveler: once Tweek gets some free time, hes going to send me his backups of the DRC Forums

(02/07 13:54:24) Korov’ev: Chiso’s loc file is growing to blimp size 🙂

(02/07 13:54:45) Daniel452: 🙂

(02/07 13:54:51) Calum Traveler: i am hoping to have all of that in place before anything leaves the Proofreading stage on MinkAlpha

(02/07 13:54:59) Calum Traveler: but, given how busy Tweek has been,,,

(02/07 13:55:14) Calum Traveler: well, im just letting you know that its not by choice only the current era of history will be available.

(02/07 13:55:23) Calum Traveler: im just working with whats available

(02/07 13:55:34) Calum Traveler: in addition to old forum posts,

(02/07 13:55:40) Calum Traveler: im adding chatlog repositories

(02/07 13:55:49) Calum Traveler: just for the DniExplorer forums…

(02/07 13:55:53) Calum Traveler: that is 10 volumes of chatlogs,

(02/07 13:55:58) Calum Traveler: and about 20 volumes of forum posts.

(02/07 13:56:06) Calum Traveler: i dont expect anyone to read all of it

(02/07 13:56:15) Calum Traveler: im just adding it for the archival purposes.

(02/07 13:56:23) Calum Traveler: its a lot of words.

(02/07 13:56:31) Dreamer3: enought build a big chat-log cabin

(02/07 13:56:35) Calum Traveler: my hope, somewhat naivly,

(02/07 13:56:36) rarified: Trivia contest night for passages from the docs?

(02/07 13:56:45) Emor D’ni Lap says DOH!

(02/07 13:56:50) Calum Traveler: is that one day, the repository in Chiso will be a living library

(02/07 13:57:00) Calum Traveler: our history, preserved, for future generations

(02/07 13:57:36) Calum Traveler: to that end, if folks have documents they wish submitted to Chiso Preniv, please reach out to me either on discord (HarleyTraveler263) or to any of my myriad KI#s here in cavern

(02/07 13:57:41) uru348: Any chance for a Town Hall this month?

(02/07 13:57:48) Calum Traveler: potentially.

(02/07 13:57:57) Calum Traveler: i canceled last month because i was busy with the chiso and descent work

(02/07 13:58:15) Calum Traveler: we’ll see how my schedule falls into alignment this month

(02/07 13:58:35) Calum Traveler: any questions?

(02/07 13:58:37) Ro”Jethhe: Will the Great Shaft be ready to be uploaded this year?

(02/07 13:58:37) PodHopper: Emor D’ni Lap has a question about chiso

(02/07 13:58:41) Calum Traveler: yes, Emor D’ni Lap?

(02/07 13:59:03) Emor D’ni Lap: sen/sit

(02/07 13:59:23) Emor D’ni Lap: sent to PodHopper, to be passed along

(02/07 13:59:23) Prad: ?

(02/07 13:59:33) Calum Traveler: alright, pod, what was his q?

(02/07 13:59:50) PodHopper: have to scroll back

(02/07 13:59:53) Calum Traveler: Ro”Jethhe – as i said earlier, it is my hope it will be opened this year.

(02/07 14:00:08) Calum Traveler: im not spitting out dates until we have things locked down.

(02/07 14:00:17) Emor D’ni Lap: PodHoppe, I’ll ask Calum later

(02/07 14:00:23) Thumbs up from Calum Traveler

(02/07 14:00:23) Darryl Pogue: Any news on the work by OpenUru to upgrade to the modern H’uru client? It’s been a while since we’ve heard any status updates there…

(02/07 14:00:28) Ro”Jethhe: been exploring Descent at Alpha and it’s looking better each time.

(02/07 14:00:45) PodHopper: it’s gone, but it’s still in your history Emor

(02/07 14:01:02) Calum Traveler: so, Darryl Pogue. that is something i need to circle back on with rarified about, after last year’s… unnecessarily necessary rebuild of tools

(02/07 14:01:04) rarified: I’ve had to deal with some RL issues over the last few months, so not much progress.

(02/07 14:01:18) Calum Traveler: as you all know, rarified had to deal with tool rebuilding *and* … well, yeah.

(02/07 14:01:19) Emor D’ni Lap: I’m aware PodHopper. Haven’t forgotten the question. Will ask Calum later.

(02/07 14:01:20) Korov’ev: Suggestion: if you have a question, use /askquestion so Pod can make a list

(02/07 14:01:49) Calum Traveler: the last update to MOULa was quite ready for a while, but took forever to get going because the deployment tools needed rebuilding

(02/07 14:02:30) rarified: The new client does have a dedicated testing shard which is still closed off until I can verify it is as functional as alpha.

(02/07 14:02:36) Calum Traveler: im hoping now that that has settled down, rarified and I can look into getting all of that going

(02/07 14:02:45) Calum Traveler: there was a checklist we were about to go down before the tool rebuild kicked up

(02/07 14:03:01) Calum Traveler: we need to pick that back up and make sure everything got in order.

(02/07 14:03:09) rarified: Yes. I have a **big** scroll back buffer on that.

(02/07 14:03:15) Calum Traveler: dont want to offer folks a shard where we stupidly forgot to update, idk, the KI Python or something

(02/07 14:03:38) PodHopper: a question from Wyrm if anyone is working on a mobile version of Moula?

(02/07 14:03:45) Calum Traveler: Mobile? Not as far as im aware.

(02/07 14:03:51) rarified: No data I have

(02/07 14:03:56) Calum Traveler: i do believe it runs fairly well on Steam Deck, from what ive heard

(02/07 14:04:01) Calum Traveler: but i dont have one so i cant verify

(02/07 14:04:07) Darryl Pogue: There have been some experiments at porting to iOS and visionOS, but nothing concrete

(02/07 14:04:11) ZTenski: You can run it on mobile using winlator, at least on android

(02/07 14:04:24) Prad: Steam Deck may still use Proton, a special version of wine …

(02/07 14:04:27) ZTenski: I do that regularly, when I’m on the bus or whatever. It’s functional.

(02/07 14:04:28) Calum Traveler: okay, its after two, for the sake of everyone, ONE LAST QUESTION

(02/07 14:04:28) rarified: I can run it on my PC via a remote desktop on my phone/iPad. 😛

(02/07 14:04:36) Darryl Pogue: Distributing through the AppStore would be close to impossible

(02/07 14:05:03) Calum Traveler: one last q going once….

(02/07 14:05:16) PodHopper: none left

(02/07 14:05:19) Calum Traveler: one last q going…. twiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiceeeeeeeeee

(02/07 14:05:28) Wyrm: Would like to run not on PC at all = dumg pcs

(02/07 14:05:31) Ro”Jethhe: I second the motion.

(02/07 14:05:35) Calum Traveler: aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand. CLOSED.

(02/07 14:05:37) uru348: Sold to PodHopper!

(02/07 14:05:39) PodHopper: Thank you, Calum!

(02/07 14:05:46) Calum Traveler: Emor D’ni Lap, please DM me your q

(02/07 14:05:49) Calum Traveler: ill get to it when i can

(02/07 14:05:50) Calum Traveler bows

(02/07 14:05:53) Emor D’ni Lap applauds Calum’s dedication

(02/07 14:05:54) Korov’ev: Will the 3rd Minkata shard be called “aleph-zero”? 🙂

(02/07 14:06:01) Calum Traveler: uh, no

(02/07 14:06:02) Dreamer3: Woot woot! So much to look forward to!

(02/07 14:06:06) Calum Traveler: i believe we’re calling it NextGen

(02/07 14:06:09) Calum Traveler: or Delta?

(02/07 14:06:09) rarified: Shhh. Not saying yet.

(02/07 14:06:10) Daniel452: Indeed!

(02/07 14:06:13) ZTenski: “Minkata ultra-alpha”

(02/07 14:06:19) Claidi Song: Have a great month everyone!

(02/07 14:06:20) *Jodok*: when URU on Unreal?

(02/07 14:06:21) Calum Traveler: i dont think it has a formalized name yet

(02/07 14:06:24) IwonK: Mincata Cookie is a nice name

(02/07 14:06:28) Calum Traveler: probably never, *Jodok*

(02/07 14:06:32) PodHopper: The next AGM is scheduled for the 7th of March, 2026

(02/07 14:06:35) PodHopper: Thank you everyone for coming to the AGM!

(02/07 14:06:35) *Jodok* starts to laugh

(02/07 13:14:33) Prad: Babbeltje and me have am ongoing project bringing back the cavern choir in the works, where I want to give you a status report.
(02/07 13:14:47) Prad: First of all – for everyone who wants to become a member of the choir, we have three simple recommendations for participation:
(02/07 13:14:59) Prad: 1.) You need to be able to sing (to be able to carry a tune, to be exact). I trust on your judgement and people you know well for that – we don't do a qualifying examination atm.
(02/07 13:15:12) Prad: 2.) You don't need to be able to read a musical sheet, but you need to be able to sing along a demo voice we provide for each voice of the choir.
(02/07 13:15:26) Prad: 3.) You need something to record music with, like usually microphone + headphone, some PC/Laptop with a soundcard and some recording program (there's a bunch of freeware which suffices our purposes)
(02/07 13:15:44) Prad: Second about our status: For a planned spring concert we had a brainstorming going between 29th of january and 5th of february in the cavern choir discord channel "cavernchoir-was-moulachoir" of Babbeltjes discord server "Server van VrouwDinges" where people could make song suggestions.
(02/07 13:16:01) Prad: From that we have decided to sing "Happy Birthday" (4 voices, traditional), "Ave Verum Corpus" from W.A. Mozart (4 voices, classical) and "only You" by Voces8/"Flying Pickets" (4 voices, popular ACapella).
(02/07 13:16:20) Prad: The recording tracks which to sing along during the recordings as well as the musical scores (for those who can make use of them – there are always some) will be put on the discord server of babbeltje in the choir channel either end of this week (tomorrow) or start of next week.
(02/07 13:16:37) Prad: So for recording of the songs we will have a timeframe of start of next week until the 8th of march – that will be the deadline for sending in the recordings.
(02/07 13:16:50) Prad: You send in your recordings (which everyone records for themselves – I will do the final mixing) in mp3 format WITHOUT backing track (mute that channel before exporting in your recording program – each software has something like that),
(02/07 13:17:04) Prad: something above 125 kbps but not necessarily above 200 kbps playback bandwidth, to the cavern choir discord channel of Babbeltjes discord server – or contact us in cavern so we can do the data exchange in email attachments if you don't have a discord account.
(02/07 13:17:20) Prad: The success of a cavern choir depents on participants of course, so I hope that all who are already members of cavern choir or who want to join for the spring concert will have fun in contributing their voices.
(02/07 13:17:33) Prad: Last but not least: Stay healthy (nobody can sing with a strong cold, of course).
(02/07 13:17:43) Prad needs a moment to breathe!
(02/07 13:17:57) Prad: That's all from me by now.

(02/07 13:20:44) Augur: The three books are: "Legendborn" by Tracy Deonn, "Circe" by Madeline Miller, and "The Husbands" by Holly Gramazio".
(02/07 13:20:58) Augur: Descriptions of the books and voting can be done in either the MOULa Community Music, Movies, & Games Discord in the "Book Club" channel or the MOULa Events Discord in the "Discussion MOULa Events" channel.
(02/07 13:21:18) Augur: Please vote for all the books you are interested in, but only in one of the two places to prevent duplicate voting.
(02/07 13:21:33) Augur: You can also message me directly on Discord to vote if that is easier for you. I am "augurdog" there. 🙂
(02/07 13:21:50) Augur: As always everyone is welcome at the Cavern Book Club. By no means do you need to "commit" to coming every meeting. But if a book interests you, join us!

(02/07 13:23:07) Brooketh: The Competitive Myst Online group cordially invites all cavern dwellers to our weekly social Ahyoheek game night, every Saturday from 21-22KI in the Competitive Myst Online Hood. Ahyoheek is a D'ni game very similar to Rock-Paper-Scissors.
(02/07 13:23:17) Brooketh: We are a friendly, social group of Ahyoheek enthusiasts, far less "competitive" than our name would imply. We aim for a relaxed, casual hour of playing and conversation that is fun for all. We welcome you regardless of skill level. If you don't know how to play, we can quickly teach you; or you may simply wish to hang out and observe.
(02/07 13:23:42) Brooketh: We use a combination of voice and text chat. You don't need to use a mic, but you should at least have sound enabled so you can hear us.
(02/07 13:23:52) Brooketh: We do hope to see you there!
(02/07 13:23:58) Brooketh: Any questions?

(02/07 13:25:02) Daniel452: Shorah, Kor 🙂
(02/07 13:25:08) Korov'ev: I bring you an update on the Fan Age Expeditions, on the Deep Island and Open Cave shards!
(02/07 13:25:16) Korov'ev: We kicked off January in DI with a door run and a visit to a couple of ages we missed. Then, we visited few garden and demo ages from 2008: Tunnel Demo, Wianeroy, ERC Age and Torilacha.
(02/07 13:25:23) Korov'ev: Last week (exped. #291), we examined the work of the late Andy Legate: Camp Bravo, Eder Bahvahnin, Eder Tomahn, Andy's Nexus, Serene.
(02/07 13:25:35) Korov'ev: On the Open Cave, we have begun to visit the fan ages that made it to MOULa!
(02/07 13:25:44) Korov'ev: First those from 2020: Chiso Preniv, New GoMe Pub, Veelay Tsahvahn. Then those from 2021: Tre'bivdil, Vothol Gallery, Serene (again), Tiam.
(02/07 13:25:48) *Jodok* claps his hands
(02/07 13:26:02) Korov'ev: What's next this month? In Deep Island, we'll visit the entries from the 2nd Rapid Age Development Contest, all Ahra Pahts shells. After that, we'll nose around in Whilyam's ages 🙂
(02/07 13:26:22) Korov'ev: In the Open Cave, tomorrow we'll move on to 2022, starting with Elonin and Fahets Highgarden. Eder Naybree is large enough that will get its own expedition on the 22nd 🙂
(02/07 13:26:37) Calum Traveler: ^^;;;
(02/07 13:26:47) Korov'ev: The expeditions are on Sunday at 11:00 KIT, starting in Deep Island's only hood ("/hood"), and in the Fan Ages Touring Club's Hood in the Open Cave.
(02/07 13:26:58) Korov'ev: To join, you'll be asked to sign a liability waiver (in blood). Don't worry about the micron-sized paragraphs, there's nothing important there 😉
(02/07 13:27:07) Ereshkigal: 🙂
(02/07 13:27:14) philipgr: lol
(02/07 13:27:14) Korov'ev: There's also an (uncommented) stream: https://www.twitch.tv/korovvannoort
(02/07 13:27:18) Daniel452: Lol 🙂
(02/07 13:27:22) rarified: Written in D'ni of course

(02/07 13:27:31) Prad: lol
(02/07 13:27:41) Korov'ev: a dialect of D'ni, in fact!
(02/07 13:27:52) Korov'ev: More info and guidelines can be found at https://forum.guildofwriters.org/viewtopic.php?f=111&t=7140

(02/07 13:28:28) Korov'ev: some events, like the Cooking Sessions, have a predictable schedule, so sometimes they may show up despite actually be skipped, if I missed an announcement.
(02/07 13:28:35) Korov'ev: It's not always 100% authoritative 😉
(02/07 13:28:48) Korov'ev bows

(02/07 13:31:18) shokhootahn Rehn: (Discord is best)
(02/07 13:31:25) shokhootahn Rehn: All classes are Monday through Friday, only. There are no weekend classes available.
(02/07 13:31:33) shokhootahn Rehn: If you are going to contact me by KI-mail, please remember to include your KI #.

(02/07 13:33:07) PodHopper: No questions in the queue.
(02/07 13:33:13) shokhootahn Rehn: Moving on…
(02/07 13:33:18) shokhootahn Rehn: The second announcement is about r'Taytahn's Story Night.
(02/07 13:33:44) shokhootahn Rehn: Today, we will tell the third story (#77 of 104) from the novel, Myst: The Book of D'ni!
(02/07 13:33:57) shokhootahn Rehn: Eventually, we cover all of the books and games, as well as the three human attempts at restoration.
(02/07 13:34:14) shokhootahn Rehn: There will be no story on Saturday, the 14th, due to family obligations.
(02/07 13:34:57) shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night will return the following week, February 21.
(02/07 13:35:12) shokhootahn Rehn: I am recording Story Night for (eventual) upload to my YouTube channel (rTayrtahn). I have created an avatar for the purpose of recording. His name is "I'm a bot, do not message". Please do not PM him during the story unless you want to see your message displayed for the entire internet. 😉 Also, please do NOT add him as a buddy. He has no special abilities and is there only to record Story Night.
(02/07 13:35:32) shokhootahn Rehn: The channel is current through April 10, 2021.
(02/07 13:35:56) shokhootahn Rehn: (I have a bit of a backlog that Iam slowly working through)
(02/07 13:36:09) shokhootahn Rehn: As an aside, I am also providing caption translations into several languages: French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish. Since I don't speak any of those languages, it will be up to my viewers to tell me how well that is working out. 🙂
(02/07 13:36:14) shokhootahn Rehn: Let me know if you would like to see any additional translations.
(02/07 13:36:32) shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night is held in the public neighborhood of Tsahno's Hood every Saturday.
(02/07 13:36:41) 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.
(02/07 13:36:58) shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night – Europe is held at 14:00 KI time on Saturday afternoon. We start gathering at the hood's fountain starting at 13:30 KI time except for AGM Saturdays, when it starts at 14:30 KI or 30 minutes after the AGM, whichever is later.
(02/07 13:37:20) shokhootahn Rehn: Lately, it's been starting at 14:30 on AGM Saturdays. 🙂
(02/07 13:37:28) shokhootahn Rehn: I also post changes on the left-hand imager in the hood.
(02/07 13:37:33) *Jodok* wants to ask a question…
(02/07 13:37:42) 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. 🙂
(02/07 13:37:57) shokhootahn Rehn: Minasunda is one of those members, as she runs the announcements channel on Discord.
(02/07 13:38:10) shokhootahn Rehn: The stories are told using voice so you will need to have your speakers or headsets on.
(02/07 13:38:22) 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. 🙂
(02/07 13:38:49) shokhootahn Rehn: We hope to see you there!
(02/07 13:38:59) shokhootahn Rehn: *Jodok*, you have a question?
(02/07 13:39:05) *Jodok*: question is this 2 weeks alternation going on for more time like regularly?
(02/07 13:39:34) shokhootahn Rehn: Not regularly.
(02/07 13:39:49) *Jodok* thanks you
(02/07 13:39:57) PodHopper: no other questions in queue
(02/07 13:39:58) shokhootahn Rehn: There *may* be one more before Story Nigt returns to it's weekly time table.

(02/07 13:45:12) Thumbs up from Claidi Song
(02/07 13:45:13) Calum Traveler: similarly, I believe Phase 1 is locked down fairly well and it's just in the polish stage now.
(02/07 13:45:37) Calum Traveler: once i get some music tracks from Semjay and Maurus, that's all Im really waiting on
(02/07 13:45:41) Calum Traveler: beyond hammering out tiny details.
(02/07 13:45:49) Calum Traveler: i also believe it SHOULD hopefully release this year.
(02/07 13:45:54) Dreamer3 cheers
(02/07 13:45:57) *Jodok* cheers

(02/07 13:46:01) Prad: I loe the scent of Descent in the morning …
(02/07 13:46:03) Quill claps his hands
(02/07 13:46:04) Calum Traveler: beyond the extant Descent Bahro Stone,
(02/07 13:46:08) Prad: *love*
(02/07 13:46:09) Emrai cheers
(02/07 13:46:16) Calum Traveler: i plan on putting out a public Descent link in Chiso Preniv's basement.
(02/07 13:46:26) Calum Traveler: you probably already know where
(02/07 13:46:29) Daniel452: cool!
(02/07 13:46:32) shokhootahn Rehn nods his head
(02/07 13:46:33) Calum Traveler: Third: Chiso Preniv
(02/07 13:46:56) Calum Traveler: so not much is going to change *too drastically* in Chiso in the coming months… that is, unless you count a ton of books being added 😀
(02/07 13:47:15) *Jodok*: yayyyy
(02/07 13:47:18) Calum Traveler: Korov'ev has recently provided me with three different lore documents, split up into smaller chapter sized volumes,
(02/07 13:47:25) Calum Traveler: the first one is THE LARA DOCUMENTS
(02/07 13:47:34) shokhootahn Rehn cheers
(02/07 13:47:45) Korov'ev: Hopefully they'll be interesting readings 🙂
(02/07 13:47:49) Calum Traveler: as JD Barnes never was able to fully authenticate their validity, they will be going into what is temporarily being called Chiso's new "Unverified Lineage" shelf
(02/07 13:48:10) Calum Traveler: in future, any documents that seem legit, but could not be plausibly verified, will wind up here.
(02/07 13:48:16) rarified: Are there enough tables for everyone to be reading at the same time :O
(02/07 13:48:37) Calum Traveler: Second, a rename to the extant shelf that had some documents there,
(02/07 13:48:44) Calum Traveler: additionally, new dust covers!
(02/07 13:48:57) *Jodok*: yeepeeee
(02/07 13:49:01) Calum Traveler: Preafter, The Heritage Documents, and Activity in the Cavern will be getting a small visual refresh
(02/07 13:49:11) Calum Traveler: additionally, the other two volumes provided by Korov'ev will be added here
(02/07 13:49:23) Calum Traveler: to what is being now called the Explorers' Historical Retrospectives shelf.
(02/07 13:49:42) neurovac: this is all fabulous news!
(02/07 13:49:43) Claidi Song cheers
(02/07 13:49:45) Calum Traveler: the first volume is "A Journey without Ending" a series of summary posts by Max, back on the old Guild of Messengers website
(02/07 13:49:46) Daniel452 cheers
(02/07 13:49:49) Korov'ev: Designing book covers is fun 🙂
(02/07 13:50:09) Claidi Song: 🙂
(02/07 13:50:13) Calum Traveler: the second volume is "The Restoration So Far" – a series of retrospectives vidkid posted on the old Myst Online forums,
(02/07 13:50:35) Calum Traveler: it's not complete yet, but if/when i get the rest of his works, theyll be added.
(02/07 13:50:45) Calum Traveler: now then,
(02/07 13:50:52) Calum Traveler: youll notice ive been mentioning shelf names
(02/07 13:51:11) Calum Traveler: new STANDING SIGNS- with logo artwork done by Keith "Tweek" Lord- will be put in place by various bookshelves
(02/07 13:51:19) Prad: I've nearly given up translating to german, gotten behind with translations – I think that game needs translator teams by now – delegating work …
(02/07 13:51:42) Calum Traveler: Unverified Lineage, Explorers Historical Retrospectives, Web Forum Archives, and, Linking Books,
(02/07 13:52:05) Calum Traveler: Linking Books, of course, will be standing next to the Linking Book Shelf.
(02/07 13:52:32) Calum Traveler: when Trebivdil was moved over, i receieved some reports of explorers having trouble finding it and Serene,
(02/07 13:52:43) Calum Traveler: so, these standing signs should help folks find what theyre looking for.
(02/07 13:52:53) Calum Traveler: ah, right, and there's that fourth one i just mentioned
(02/07 13:52:56) Calum Traveler: Web Forum Archives.
(02/07 13:53:17) Calum Traveler: it has been my own thought, as well as the perspective of a few others, that the Heritage Docs alone are not a "Definitive" perspective on cavern history
(02/07 13:53:40) Calum Traveler: to that end, I've always wanted to rectify that by bringing in the actual history in an undeniable format.
(02/07 13:53:58) Calum Traveler: i've started that work by backing up the DniExplorer Forums, that Tweek has run the last few years,
(02/07 13:54:11) Calum Traveler: but that is not all i plan on doing
(02/07 13:54:22) Calum Traveler: once Tweek gets some free time, hes going to send me his backups of the DRC Forums
(02/07 13:54:24) Korov'ev: Chiso's loc file is growing to blimp size 🙂
(02/07 13:54:45) Daniel452: 🙂
(02/07 13:54:51) Calum Traveler: i am hoping to have all of that in place before anything leaves the Proofreading stage on MinkAlpha
(02/07 13:54:59) Calum Traveler: but, given how busy Tweek has been,,,
(02/07 13:55:14) Calum Traveler: well, im just letting you know that its not by choice only the current era of history will be available.
(02/07 13:55:23) Calum Traveler: im just working with whats available
(02/07 13:55:34) Calum Traveler: in addition to old forum posts,
(02/07 13:55:40) Calum Traveler: im adding chatlog repositories
(02/07 13:55:49) Calum Traveler: just for the DniExplorer forums…
(02/07 13:55:53) Calum Traveler: that is 10 volumes of chatlogs,
(02/07 13:55:58) Calum Traveler: and about 20 volumes of forum posts.
(02/07 13:56:06) Calum Traveler: i dont expect anyone to read all of it
(02/07 13:56:15) Calum Traveler: im just adding it for the archival purposes.
(02/07 13:56:23) Calum Traveler: its a lot of words.
(02/07 13:56:31) Dreamer3: enought build a big chat-log cabin
(02/07 13:56:35) Calum Traveler: my hope, somewhat naivly,
(02/07 13:56:36) rarified: Trivia contest night for passages from the docs?
(02/07 13:56:45) Emor D'ni Lap says DOH!
(02/07 13:56:50) Calum Traveler: is that one day, the repository in Chiso will be a living library
(02/07 13:57:00) Calum Traveler: our history, preserved, for future generations
(02/07 13:57:36) Calum Traveler: to that end, if folks have documents they wish submitted to Chiso Preniv, please reach out to me either on discord (HarleyTraveler263) or to any of my myriad KI#s here in cavern
(02/07 13:57:41) uru348: Any chance for a Town Hall this month?
(02/07 13:57:48) Calum Traveler: potentially.
(02/07 13:57:57) Calum Traveler: i canceled last month because i was busy with the chiso and descent work
(02/07 13:58:15) Calum Traveler: we'll see how my schedule falls into alignment this month
(02/07 13:58:35) Calum Traveler: any questions?
(02/07 13:58:37) Ro"Jethhe: Will the Great Shaft be ready to be uploaded this year?
(02/07 13:58:37) PodHopper: Emor D'ni Lap has a question about chiso
(02/07 13:58:41) Calum Traveler: yes, Emor D'ni Lap?
(02/07 13:59:03) Emor D'ni Lap: sen/sit
(02/07 13:59:23) Emor D'ni Lap: sent to PodHopper, to be passed along
(02/07 13:59:23) Prad: ?
(02/07 13:59:33) Calum Traveler: alright, pod, what was his q?
(02/07 13:59:50) PodHopper: have to scroll back
(02/07 13:59:53) Calum Traveler: Ro"Jethhe – as i said earlier, it is my hope it will be opened this year.
(02/07 14:00:00) Ro"Jethhe cheers
(02/07 14:00:08) Calum Traveler: im not spitting out dates until we have things locked down.
(02/07 14:00:17) Emor D'ni Lap: PodHoppe, I'll ask Calum later
(02/07 14:00:23) Thumbs up from Calum Traveler
(02/07 14:00:23) Darryl Pogue: Any news on the work by OpenUru to upgrade to the modern H'uru client? It's been a while since we've heard any status updates there…
(02/07 14:00:28) Ro"Jethhe: been exploring Descent at Alpha and it's looking better each time.
(02/07 14:00:45) PodHopper: it's gone, but it's still in your history Emor
(02/07 14:01:02) Calum Traveler: so, Darryl Pogue. that is something i need to circle back on with rarified about, after last year's… unnecessarily necessary rebuild of tools
(02/07 14:01:04) rarified: I've had to deal with some RL issues over the last few months, so not much progress.
(02/07 14:01:18) Calum Traveler: as you all know, rarified had to deal with tool rebuilding *and* … well, yeah.
(02/07 14:01:19) Emor D'ni Lap: I'm aware PodHopper. Haven't forgotten the question. Will ask Calum later.
(02/07 14:01:20) Korov'ev: Suggestion: if you have a question, use /askquestion so Pod can make a list
(02/07 14:01:49) Calum Traveler: the last update to MOULa was quite ready for a while, but took forever to get going because the deployment tools needed rebuilding
(02/07 14:02:30) rarified: The new client does have a dedicated testing shard which is still closed off until I can verify it is as functional as alpha.
(02/07 14:02:36) Calum Traveler: im hoping now that that has settled down, rarified and I can look into getting all of that going
(02/07 14:02:45) Calum Traveler: there was a checklist we were about to go down before the tool rebuild kicked up
(02/07 14:03:01) Calum Traveler: we need to pick that back up and make sure everything got in order.
(02/07 14:03:09) rarified: Yes. I have a **big** scroll back buffer on that.
(02/07 14:03:15) Calum Traveler: dont want to offer folks a shard where we stupidly forgot to update, idk, the KI Python or something
(02/07 14:03:38) PodHopper: a question from Wyrm if anyone is working on a mobile version of Moula?
(02/07 14:03:45) Calum Traveler: Mobile? Not as far as im aware.
(02/07 14:03:51) rarified: No data I have
(02/07 14:03:56) Calum Traveler: i do believe it runs fairly well on Steam Deck, from what ive heard
(02/07 14:04:01) Calum Traveler: but i dont have one so i cant verify
(02/07 14:04:07) Darryl Pogue: There have been some experiments at porting to iOS and visionOS, but nothing concrete
(02/07 14:04:11) ZTenski: You can run it on mobile using winlator, at least on android
(02/07 14:04:24) Prad: Steam Deck may still use Proton, a special version of wine …
(02/07 14:04:27) ZTenski: I do that regularly, when I'm on the bus or whatever. It's functional.
(02/07 14:04:28) Calum Traveler: okay, its after two, for the sake of everyone, ONE LAST QUESTION
(02/07 14:04:28) rarified: I can run it on my PC via a remote desktop on my phone/iPad. 😛
(02/07 14:04:36) Darryl Pogue: Distributing through the AppStore would be close to impossible
(02/07 14:05:03) Calum Traveler: one last q going once….
(02/07 14:05:16) PodHopper: none left
(02/07 14:05:19) Calum Traveler: one last q going…. twiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiceeeeeeeeee
(02/07 14:05:28) Wyrm: Would like to run not on PC at all = dumg pcs
(02/07 14:05:31) Ro"Jethhe: I second the motion.
(02/07 14:05:35) Calum Traveler: aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand. CLOSED.

(02/07 14:06:09) Calum Traveler: or Delta?
(02/07 14:06:09) rarified: Shhh. Not saying yet.
(02/07 14:06:10) Daniel452: Indeed!
(02/07 14:06:13) ZTenski: "Minkata ultra-alpha"
(02/07 14:06:19) Claidi Song: Have a great month everyone!
(02/07 14:06:20) *Jodok*: when URU on Unreal?
(02/07 14:06:21) Calum Traveler: i dont think it has a formalized name yet
(02/07 14:06:24) IwonK: Mincata Cookie is a nice name
(02/07 14:06:28) Calum Traveler: probably never, *Jodok*
(02/07 14:06:32) PodHopper: The next AGM is scheduled for the 7th of March, 2026

(01/03 13:16:00) PodHopper: ~~~ Cavern Book Club ~~~

(01/03 13:16:08) PodHopper: Welcome to the platform, Augur

(01/03 13:16:29) Augur: Shorah, everyone!

(01/03 13:16:37) Augur: Our first book club meeting of 2026 will be a special one–we are reading The Book of Ti’ana by David Wingrove and Rand Miller.

(01/03 13:16:54) Augur: I believe there are now a couple of editions out there, so please grab whichever you have access to. It might be neat to chat about the differences!

(01/03 13:17:09) Augur: As always, EVERYONE is welcome! By no means do you have to read every selection and make it to every meeting to join us. If only once a year something is picked that piques your interest, by all means drop in just for that one meeting!

(01/03 13:17:35) Augur: We will meet in the same time, same place as usual. 12:30 KIT, January 24th, in the Eder Delin of Nezetahn’s Hood.

(01/03 13:17:52) Augur: Any questions?

(01/03 13:18:09) PodHopper: none in queue

(01/03 13:18:13) Augur: I hope to see you there!

(01/03 13:18:14) PodHopper: Thank you, Augur!

(01/03 13:18:33) PodHopper: ~~~ Ayoheek Night ~~~

(01/03 13:18:35) uru348: clap

(01/03 13:18:40) PodHopper: Come on up, Brooketh

(01/03 13:18:50) AlanDJ: ouch

(01/03 13:19:07) Dreamer3: 🙂

(01/03 13:19:18) Brooketh: Shorah everyone

(01/03 13:19:24) Mevvah waves hello

(01/03 13:19:30) Brooketh: The Competitive Myst Online group cordially invites all cavern dwellers to our weekly social Ahyoheek game night, every Saturday from 21-22KI in the Competitive Myst Online Hood. Ahyoheek is a D’ni game very similar to Rock-Paper-Scissors.

(01/03 13:19:39) Brooketh: We are a friendly, social group of Ahyoheek enthusiasts, far less “competitive” than our name would imply. We aim for a relaxed, casual hour of playing and conversation that is fun for all. We welcome you regardless of skill level. If you don’t know how to play, we can quickly teach you; or you may simply wish to hang out and observe.

(01/03 13:19:51) Brooketh: We use a combination of voice and text chat. You don’t need to use a mic, but you should at least have sound enabled so you can hear us.

(01/03 13:20:08) shokhootahn Rehn leans left

(01/03 13:20:08) Brooketh: We do hope to see you there!

(01/03 13:20:14) Mevvah leans right

(01/03 13:20:16) Brooketh: Any questions?

(01/03 13:20:30) PodHopper: none in q

(01/03 13:20:34) PodHopper: Thank you, Brooketh!

(01/03 13:20:38) Lucario1829: come to heek!!!

(01/03 13:20:40) Brooketh bows

(01/03 13:20:51) IwonK: what the heek? 😀 😀

(01/03 13:21:06) PodHopper: ~~~ Fan Age Expeditions ~~~

(01/03 13:21:10) PodHopper: Come on up, Korov’ev

(01/03 13:21:27) Dreamer3: Shor Kor!

(01/03 13:21:29) Korov’ev waves hello

(01/03 13:21:29) Korov’ev: Shorah bivrov!

(01/03 13:21:40) Korov’ev: I bring you a quick update on the Fan Age Expeditions, held on the Deep Island and the Open Cave shards.

(01/03 13:21:49) Korov’ev: We skipped last weekend, since it was the middle of the holidays 😉

(01/03 13:21:59) Korov’ev: The last expedition was in the Open Cave, so tomorrow we’ll be in Deep Island.

(01/03 13:22:13) Korov’ev: Now, as the year just started, I’m thinking we could do a mostly playtime expedition, kicking it off with a door run 🙂

(01/03 13:22:30) Korov’ev: After that, we could go back to a couple of large ages we’ve already visited in 2025, like Pre-Swaltu0 or Janga; we’ll decide at that time.

(01/03 13:22:43) Korov’ev: We may even try getting to the bugged ages, like Box Age or Eder Taygahn. We’ll see!

(01/03 13:23:00) Korov’ev: As usual, every other week we’ll be in the Open Cave; last time we explored the many dimensions of… the City of Dimensions.

(01/03 13:23:21) Korov’ev: We are now in Fan Age territory, so on the 11th we’ll visit the first ages that made it on MOULa – although not the first to appear on TOC! We’ll visit those soon.

(01/03 13:23:34) ScottMiller: I wish the hell I could get Deep Island to work!

(01/03 13:23:36) Korov’ev: And that’s all I got! Any questions?

(01/03 13:23:50) PodHopper: None in q

(01/03 13:24:00) Korov’ev bows

(01/03 13:24:00) Korov’ev: Back to my seat then!

(01/03 13:24:03) jtrigg: hear hear Scott, I can’t get access

(01/03 13:24:05) PodHopper: Thank you, Korov’ev!

(01/03 13:24:41) PodHopper: ~~~ Radio Free D’ni ~~~

(01/03 13:24:44) PodHopper: The stage is yours, Alan

(01/03 13:24:55) AlanDJ waves hello

(01/03 13:25:06) AlanDJ: Thank you Podhopper and ‘evenin’ folks.

(01/03 13:25:15) Emor D’ni Lap applauds the RFD team

(01/03 13:25:18) AlanDJ: I’m going to go on a bit longer than everyone has before me, so if I start boring you, just throw things 🙂

(01/03 13:25:29) Mevvah starts to laugh

(01/03 13:25:33) AlanDJ: First a brief introduction as it’s been a very long time since anyone from Radio Free D’ni addressed the AGM.

(01/03 13:25:34) *Jodok* shakes his head

(01/03 13:25:45) Mevvah: or kick them at you?

(01/03 13:25:49) AlanDJ: Radio Free D’ni is a music channel that broadcasts on an internet radio link every Sunday evening from 12:30 KI to 15:30 KI, with a main show, where we talk to you, from 13 KI to 15 KI.

(01/03 13:26:01) Claidi Song throws a nicely formed soft snowball lol

(01/03 13:26:12) AlanDJ: Each week we present a show with a theme, which might be a particular artist, or a genre, or telling a story.

(01/03 13:26:19) IwonK carefully throws a box of fine biskies

(01/03 13:26:27) AlanDJ: The shows are put together by our core team of five presenters with contributions from ohter listeners both inside and outside the cavern.

(01/03 13:26:41) AlanDJ: Other listers too…

(01/03 13:26:53) AlanDJ: So now I’d like to tell you about the upcoming Radio Free D’ni schedule.

(01/03 13:27:05) AlanDJ: We have a Remastered show about Jazz Fusion keyboard player Chick Corea tomorrow. Remastered shows are shows that were first broadcast five or so years ago which have been updated for the present day.

(01/03 13:27:25) AlanDJ: Then the Sunday after will be our regular annual look at musicians who left us in the year gone by, imaginatively titled “Lost in 2025” for this year.

(01/03 13:27:44) AlanDJ: On 18th January we have La Musique Tourne – a look at French Progressive Rock in the Seventies.

(01/03 13:28:08) AlanDJ: Secondly, I’d like to thank everyone who listened to the story show I did on Midwinter’s Day – we had lots of people in the cavern and a peak of 22 listener connections,

(01/03 13:28:22) AlanDJ: which is a good number for us these days, especially for a holiday weekend just before Christmas when many will have been travelling.

(01/03 13:28:25) jtrigg: R.I. P Ozzie

(01/03 13:28:41) AlanDJ: For links to Radio Free D’ni, use urutunes or go to our website, radiofreedni.org

(01/03 13:29:06) AlanDJ: While I did enjoy putting the story show together and telling the story, I’m not sure what to do for next year.

(01/03 13:29:19) AlanDJ: So far the only story that occurs to me is John Masefield’s The Box of Delights, which I’ll have to read again :)Suggestions will welcome.

(01/03 13:29:39) AlanDJ: will be welcome, too…

(01/03 13:30:00) AlanDJ: Lastly and slightly cheekily I did enjoy the actual presentation of the show, which for the first time included background music behind some of the narration.

(01/03 13:30:14) AlanDJ: Yes, that was deliberate 🙂

(01/03 13:30:19) IwonK: ;]

(01/03 13:30:21) Mevvah: well done on that, Alan

(01/03 13:30:28) AlanDJ: If you’d like me to do more, please let me know – we could perhaps doe a midsummer story. I’d not like to promise one every week though as they do take a lot of preparation.

(01/03 13:30:43) AlanDJ: Perhaps one per quarter? Let me know what you think, including if you’d rather I didn’t.

(01/03 13:30:46) Ereshkigal: Midsummer would be cool!

(01/03 13:31:00) ShilohOBrien: One each quarter would be cool!

(01/03 13:31:00) AlanDJ: I know that Ereshkigal has the Ancient Stories covered, and I’d not want to step on her toes.

(01/03 13:31:11) Ereshkigal: Don’t worry Alan!

(01/03 13:31:17) Mevvah: A Midsummer Night’s Dream isn’t ancient. ::smirk::

(01/03 13:31:26) AlanDJ: So, I’ll see what I can come up with 🙂

(01/03 13:31:26) Ereshkigal: There are so many ancient stories, you’ll never get in my way 🙂

(01/03 13:31:57) AlanDJ: Mevvah, I think Bill Wagstick was retelling an older story 🙂

(01/03 13:32:18) AlanDJ: Thanks for your attention, and are there any questions, please?

(01/03 13:32:30) PodHopper: None in queue

(01/03 13:32:48) AlanDJ bows

(01/03 13:32:50) PodHopper: Thank you, Alan!

(01/03 13:32:55) Cpt.Jericho: Can we now start through things?

(01/03 13:33:02) Mevvah: Ah. “Learn something new every day”

(01/03 13:33:02) Cpt.Jericho: *throw

(01/03 13:33:06) Claidi Song: Love “Bill WagStick”

(01/03 13:33:14) Mevvah laughs at “Bill Wagstick”

(01/03 13:33:16) PodHopper: ok, did r’Tay make it here already?

(01/03 13:33:23) shokhootahn Rehn: Yes!

(01/03 13:33:35) PodHopper: ~~~ D’ni Language Class and Story Night ~~~

(01/03 13:33:59) 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.

(01/03 13:34:13) shokhootahn Rehn: First, the language classes…

(01/03 13:34:22) shokhootahn Rehn: There are evening classes available on weekday evenings Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, starting at 20:00, 21:00 or 22:00 KI time, depending on the student’s schedule

(01/03 13:34:35) shokhootahn Rehn: (there already is a student scheduled for the Friday night classes)

(01/03 13:34:48) shokhootahn Rehn: There are daytime openings on Monday through Friday, starting at either 10:00 KI time, 11:00 KI time, or 12:00 KI time, again, depending on the student’s schedule. Contact me by PM to set up a day and a time, KI mail me at KI# 80428, or on Discord at r’Tayrtahn.

(01/03 13:35:11) shokhootahn Rehn: (Discord is best)

(01/03 13:35:19) shokhootahn Rehn: All classes are Monday through Friday, only. There are no weekend classes available.

(01/03 13:35:28) shokhootahn Rehn: If you are going to contact me by KI-mail, please remember to include your KI #.

(01/03 13:35:40) shokhootahn Rehn: As always, current students can find last-minute updates to class times on the left-hand imager.

(01/03 13:35:59) shokhootahn Rehn: Now for some exciting news…

(01/03 13:36:07) shokhootahn Rehn: Another student has started taking the classes last month!

(01/03 13:36:29) shokhootahn Rehn: (well, in late Novemner)

(01/03 13:36:43) shokhootahn Rehn: The Guild of Instructors’ Hood will be open and public unless a class is in session.

(01/03 13:36:47) Thumbs up from AlanDJ

(01/03 13:36:53) shokhootahn Rehn: I have one request for visitors: Please do not post pellet points into the Hood imager…

(01/03 13:37:08) shokhootahn Rehn: Are there any questions?

(01/03 13:37:19) Korov’ev: one at a time, until we’ll all speak D’ni here!

(01/03 13:37:22) PodHopper: None in queue

(01/03 13:37:25) shokhootahn Rehn: Moving on…

(01/03 13:37:31) shokhootahn Rehn: The second announcement is about r’Taytahn’s Story Night.

(01/03 13:37:46) shokhootahn Rehn: Today, we will tell the fifth and final story (#74 of 104) from the game of Riven! Starting next week (and for the following eight weeks) we will tell the story from the novel, “Myst: The Book of D’ni.”

(01/03 13:38:08) shokhootahn Rehn: Eventually, we cover all of the books and games, as well as the three human attempts at restoration.

(01/03 13:38:20) shokhootahn Rehn: There will be no story on Saturday, the 17th, due to family obligations.

(01/03 13:38:35) shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night covers the entire 10,000-year history of the D’ni plus all of the books and games, as well as the three human attempts at the restoration of D’ni!

(01/03 13:39:04) shokhootahn Rehn: I am recording Story Night for (eventual) upload to my YouTube channel (rTayrtahn). I have created an avatar for the purpose of recording. His name is “I’m a bot, do not message”. Please do not PM him during the story unless you want to see your message displayed for the entire internet. 😉 Also, please do NOT add him as a buddy. He has no special abilities and is there only to record Story Night.

(01/03 13:39:41) shokhootahn Rehn: As an aside, I am also providing caption translations into several languages: French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish. Since I don’t speak any of those languages, it will be up to my viewers to tell me how well that is working out. 🙂

(01/03 13:39:52) shokhootahn Rehn: Let me know if you would like to see any additional translations.

(01/03 13:40:05) shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night is held in the public neighborhood of Tsahno’s Hood every Saturday.

(01/03 13:40:12) 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.

(01/03 13:40:30) shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night – Europe is held at 14:00 KI time on Saturday afternoon. We start gathering at the hood’s fountain starting at 13:30 KI time except for AGM Saturdays, when it starts at 14:30 KI or 30 minutes after the AGM, whichever is later.

(01/03 13:40:50) shokhootahn Rehn: Lately, it’s been starting at 14:30 on AGM Saturdays. 🙂

(01/03 13:40:58) shokhootahn Rehn: I also post changes on the left-hand imager in the hood.

(01/03 13:41:05) ScottMiller: It takes guts to take a D’ni language class! They aren’t easy (I know)!\

(01/03 13:41:15) 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. 🙂

(01/03 13:41:51) shokhootahn Rehn: Minasunda is one of those members, as she runs the announcements channel on Discord.

(01/03 13:41:59) shokhootahn Rehn: The stories are told using voice so you will need to have your speakers or headsets on.

(01/03 13:42:12) 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. 🙂

(01/03 13:42:35) shokhootahn Rehn: We hope to see you there!

(01/03 13:42:40) shokhootahn Rehn: Any questions?

(01/03 13:42:51) PodHopper: None in queue

(01/03 13:42:53) shokhootahn Rehn bows

(01/03 13:42:57) PodHopper: Thank you, shokhootahn Rehn!

(01/03 13:48:06) *Jodok*: Happy ne year calum 😀

(01/03 13:48:08) Calum Traveler: yes, Chiso Preniv needed to be completely rebuilt.

(01/03 13:48:17) Calum Traveler: we lost the build file for it, due to reasons I wont get into here,

(01/03 13:48:18) Mevvah: 😮

(01/03 13:48:29) Calum Traveler: and so I had to import from the last successful build and rebuild the age’s blend file

(01/03 13:48:43) Ereshkigal: Chiso still looks amazing every Saturday I go there 🙂

(01/03 13:48:56) Calum Traveler: its because of this rebuild that we had some minor hiccups with getting Sameehn’s release not being in Chiso originally,

(01/03 13:49:28) Mevvah: same jt….

(01/03 13:49:37) Calum Traveler: and Trebivdil has ben moved to the shelf, next to Serene

(01/03 13:49:39) Ereshkigal: I still have to check out Sameehn

(01/03 13:49:48) Dreamer3: Love the new Chiso additions.

(01/03 13:49:50) Calum Traveler: on that note, ive received some feedback that there was some issues with finding the books on the shelves,

(01/03 13:49:59) Mevvah: Trebivdil? I think that’s a ndw one on me.

(01/03 13:50:13) Calum Traveler: i have some suggestions and ideas on how to remedy that, and ill be testing new signage on the Minkatas

(01/03 13:50:16) Thumbs up from Emor D’ni Lap

(01/03 13:50:22) Calum Traveler: Trebivdil was released after Serene, one of the first ages released,

(01/03 13:50:29) Calum Traveler: via Chiso, atleast

(01/03 13:50:40) ShilohOBrien: It’s the minecraft looking one.

(01/03 13:50:49) IwonK: Mystcraft ;]

(01/03 13:50:54) Calum Traveler: *ahhem*

(01/03 13:51:04) AlanDJ: wince

(01/03 13:51:14) Calum Traveler: additionally to this update, we now have the PREAFTER volumes,

(01/03 13:51:30) Calum Traveler: they have been added to the shelf with the Heritage Docs, and the Activity In The Cavern Books

(01/03 13:51:51) Thumbs up from AlanDJ

(01/03 13:51:54) caver1: Many thanks to age builders!

(01/03 13:51:56) Calum Traveler: this shelf will be, going forwards, called the “Explorer Retrospective” Shelf,

(01/03 13:52:15) Calum Traveler: it is on this shelf that volumes about our history, written from explorer perspectives, will be stored going forwards,

(01/03 13:52:31) Calum Traveler: on the opposite side of the entrance, I have plans for pure historical content to be added

(01/03 13:52:33) Thumbs up from Ereshkigal

(01/03 13:52:46) Calum Traveler: that is to say, archived forum posts from the DRC Forums, as well as our D’ni Explorer forums,

(01/03 13:52:58) Calum Traveler: i plan to also add chatlogs from the DRC era as well as our current Era of work,

(01/03 13:53:40) Calum Traveler: this is all in an effort to preserve not just the history of the cavern as we saw it, but as in as pristine of a condition as it originally was recorded,

(01/03 13:54:11) Dreamer3: Future generations thank you : – )

(01/03 13:54:11) AlanDJ: Lots of work, Calum

(01/03 13:54:13) Calum Traveler: it will be a bit of a work in progress, but hopefully, this will address some concerns i’ve heard regarding the Explorer Retrospectives not being “accurate enough”

(01/03 13:54:22) Calum Traveler: to which ill agree,

(01/03 13:54:37) Calum Traveler: the Heritage Docs, for example, were never meant to be the END ALL BE ALL of cavern history

(01/03 13:54:59) Calum Traveler: during the time I ran Heritage Night, i tried to get as many folks who were present for those events to give their perspectives on those events,

(01/03 13:55:17) Calum Traveler: it didnt work out so well as id hoped, so by trying to preserve the actual raw encounters in chatlog form, im hoping…

(01/03 13:55:18) Calum Traveler: well

(01/03 13:55:36) Calum Traveler: im hoping that it will atleast crystalize some element of the “truth” of our history here in D’ni

(01/03 13:56:07) Calum Traveler: as the dni explorer forums are easiest to back up at the present moment, those chatlogs and forum posts will be the first bunch added to Chiso Preniv, while I hunt down what i need for the DRC era

(01/03 13:56:45) neurovac: very good work!

(01/03 13:56:47) Mevvah: well done, Calum.

(01/03 13:56:49) Calum Traveler: finally, i did recieve a complaint that i’d removed a commentrary journal from Chiso Preniv, regarding the author of it.

(01/03 13:56:57) Calum Traveler: id like to say that its total erasure was not my intent,

(01/03 13:57:28) Calum Traveler: the chiso commentary, as well as the ‘original version’ of the Guild of Messengers Pub Commentary, will be added to their own shelf on the upper level of Chiso Preniv, for the sake of historical archiving,

(01/03 13:57:47) Calum Traveler: i just forgot to put the old chiso commentary up on the shelves during the last push for release ^^;;;

(01/03 13:58:06) AlanDJ says sad thumbs up

(01/03 13:58:15) Calum Traveler: im stating this simply as a historian,

(01/03 13:58:27) Calum Traveler: there are lots of people who have contributed to our cavern history in many ways

(01/03 13:58:27) shokhootahn Rehn: It happens, Calum. 🙂

(01/03 13:58:46) Calum Traveler: it’s something ive been tussling with with regards to his presence in the forum posts and chatlogs,

(01/03 13:58:59) Calum Traveler: in the end, i cant erase a person’s impact from history,

(01/03 13:59:17) ShilohOBrien: Nor should you.

(01/03 13:59:20) Mevvah: nor should we.

(01/03 13:59:20) Calum Traveler: the bare limit ill be doing is removing a legal real world surface name and replacing it with the known online handle.

(01/03 13:59:23) *Jodok*: Try to separate the art from the artist

(01/03 13:59:27) AlanDJ says positive thumbs up

(01/03 13:59:45) Mevvah: while acknowledging that not all of history is good history.

(01/03 14:00:01) Calum Traveler: not all people have affected the restoration of dni in good ways,

(01/03 14:00:04) Emor D’ni Lap: “Its disappearance was unintentional and it will return to the shelves”. All that needs to be said. The jury is still out, AFAIK

(01/03 14:00:08) Calum Traveler: but not all have affected it in bda ways,

(01/03 14:00:17) Calum Traveler: yes, emor, it was an unintentional disappearance,

(01/03 14:00:26) Calum Traveler: and it will return.

(01/03 14:00:26) Emor D’ni Lap: Got it, thanks

(01/03 14:00:40) jtrigg: excreta occurs

(01/03 14:00:45) Calum Traveler: one final note about chiso,

(01/03 14:00:57) Calum Traveler: the doorway in the basement

(01/03 14:01:03) Calum Traveler: i will not be opening those doors.

(01/03 14:01:12) Mevvah is sad

(01/03 14:01:19) Calum Traveler: i do not have any of the design plans for what was to go beyond them

(01/03 14:01:20) *Jodok* is sad

(01/03 14:01:33) Dreamer3: Also, it’s dangerous out there.

(01/03 14:01:33) Calum Traveler: i do not have any of the actual build files, otherwise my life this last year would have been easier.

(01/03 14:01:40) Emor D’ni Lap: but…at this point, ANYTHING can go behind those doors

(01/03 14:01:52) Calum Traveler: for the present build, I have put *something* behind the doors,

(01/03 14:02:00) Calum Traveler: but please do not treat it as a canonical ‘this is whats always there’

(01/03 14:02:11) Calum Traveler: some day, someone may be inclined to open those doors and create that path.

(01/03 14:02:14) Mevvah: of course. Understood

(01/03 14:02:14) rarified: Call Heraldo Rivera.

(01/03 14:02:15) Dreamer3: Schordinger’s doors.

(01/03 14:02:16) AlanDJ: Understood. Sigh. The Internet, for better or worse, is now part of Real Life and subject to legal issues. Would that it were not.

(01/03 14:02:22) Calum Traveler: but that will not be me.

(01/03 14:02:28) Dreamer3: Schrodinger . . .

(01/03 14:02:28) Mevvah: exactly dreamer

(01/03 14:02:42) Calum Traveler: for anyone inclined to explore with bot techniques,

(01/03 14:02:42) ShilohOBrien: You have enough on your plate, Calum.

(01/03 14:02:48) Diranda: Storage. Empty storage.

(01/03 14:02:48) Calum Traveler: i did leave a poem in there for folks to find.

(01/03 14:03:00) rarified: ^Geraldo Rivera.

(01/03 14:03:01) Calum Traveler: it might be a bit tricky to see in the dark tho

(01/03 14:03:10) Diranda: heee

(01/03 14:03:16) Calum Traveler: moving on from Chiso to lighter things, despite being ostensibly darker…

(01/03 14:03:16) Kayara: Something about a cake?

(01/03 14:03:18) Calum Traveler: DESCENT

(01/03 14:03:26) IwonK: the cake is a lie…

(01/03 14:03:28) Ereshkigal: Chiso is, in the end, an archaeological site; and many archaeological sites have riddles that remain unsolved

(01/03 14:03:30) Calum Traveler: PHASE 1 is now what id call “Feature Locked” in terms of walkable content.

(01/03 14:03:43) Calum Traveler: that is, from the Caldera down to the river channel.

(01/03 14:03:57) Calum Traveler: i have a rough sketch of what Phase 2 will be, but im not working on that until phase 1 is out the door

(01/03 14:04:24) Calum Traveler: i just this morning pushed the first build of 2026 to minkata alpha,

(01/03 14:04:25) rarified: Do you have any help with the future phasess yet?

(01/03 14:04:51) Calum Traveler: ill be continuing to work with ametist, tiki, ehren, tweek (as he’s available), and semjay and maurus with phase 2,

(01/03 14:05:20) Calum Traveler: theres still a few more months of hard polish work for descent before it’s ready for MOULa,

(01/03 14:05:30) AlanDJ: Good news

(01/03 14:05:38) Calum Traveler: but im confident the physical layout is intact for phase 1,

(01/03 14:05:53) Calum Traveler: and all intended features for phase 1 have been planned for, and accounted for

(01/03 14:06:04) Calum Traveler: i do have a few moving parts i need to wait for inorder to fully lock dwn its features, but

(01/03 14:06:18) Calum Traveler: phase 1 is in the final stretches.

(01/03 14:06:35) Calum Traveler: at this point, it is purely making sure things work as expected in a multiplayer environment,

(01/03 14:06:46) Calum Traveler: plus, hammering out textures, collisions, sounds, etc.

(01/03 14:06:47) Claidi Song: It is looking great, Cal!

(01/03 14:06:52) rarified hands Calum Traveler a bottle of Monster Energy and a couple of aspirin.

(01/03 14:06:57) Calum Traveler smiles in thanks

(01/03 14:07:02) IwonK has cookies for that

(01/03 14:07:06) PodHopper: 🙂

(01/03 14:07:37) AlanDJ says and there is always door rum

(01/03 14:07:45) ShilohOBrien: Gotta dip early. Will catch the rest on the log.

(01/03 14:07:48) Calum Traveler: im also hopeful that ill be able to get pod12 and reischu apartment hammered out this year,

(01/03 14:07:51) Dreamer3 looks forward to reenacting the pilgramage of Atrus.

(01/03 14:07:53) Calum Traveler: but no promises just yet

(01/03 14:08:00) Calum Traveler: on that note, ill leave it here

(01/03 14:08:09) Calum Traveler: any questions?

(01/03 14:08:11) PodHopper: wow!

(01/03 14:08:12) caver1: Is there any effort to allow books to be in a form that can be listened to as in End of Ages?

(01/03 14:08:15) *Jodok*: HOPE (TM)

(01/03 14:08:16) Mevvah: well done, Calum.

(01/03 14:08:19) IwonK: 2h down the stairs, dreamer 😉

(01/03 14:08:22) RedUhuru: Naybree telescopes – how many more day?

(01/03 14:08:24) RedUhuru: days

(01/03 14:08:30) RedUhuru: I love telescopes 🙂

(01/03 14:08:35) Calum Traveler: naybree telescopes, im waiting on chogon to install the hotfix

(01/03 14:08:42) RedUhuru: ohhhhhhhh

(01/03 14:08:43) Calum Traveler: ive finished it and pushed the build through minkatas,

(01/03 14:08:54) Calum Traveler: i believe chogon is still away from computer after the holidays

(01/03 14:08:56) Mevvah: [;ural?

(01/03 14:09:04) Mevvah: Naybree telescopeS?

(01/03 14:09:14) RedUhuru: Happy I looked through them today then, thanks Cal.

(01/03 14:09:14) Calum Traveler: i fixed the wayward SDL that was NOT meant to go live at all

(01/03 14:09:20) Dreamer3: Is Naybree in any danger from the meteors?

(01/03 14:09:25) Calum Traveler: i had plans for a meteor impact event

(01/03 14:09:29) Calum Traveler: but i couldnt get it to work

(01/03 14:09:32) Mevvah: oh dear

(01/03 14:09:36) Calum Traveler: needless to say i didnt scrap the controls for it well enough

(01/03 14:09:48) RedUhuru: lovely setup though

(01/03 14:09:49) Calum Traveler: and multiple someones found a trigger i thought was

(01/03 14:09:50) Calum Traveler: well

(01/03 14:09:52) Calum Traveler: Gone.

(01/03 14:09:53) ScottMiller: what telescopes? i only know of one…

(01/03 14:09:59) Mevvah: same

(01/03 14:10:01) Dreamer3: You can still birdwatch with them

(01/03 14:10:02) Calum Traveler: the telescopes and the stage on the beach are the intended feature of naybree’s update,

(01/03 14:10:05) AlanDJ: Telescope$ are like Microsoft minutes – somewhat flexible

(01/03 14:10:07) Calum Traveler: the crater impact was not.

(01/03 14:10:16) RedUhuru: Ohhh

(01/03 14:10:37) uru348: The “elephant in th garden”

(01/03 14:10:41) Calum Traveler: in the end, its an idea i might reuse someday somewhere else, but…

(01/03 14:10:42) Calum Traveler: yeah.

(01/03 14:10:42) PodHopper recommends wearingf a hard hat in Naybree

(01/03 14:10:44) Mevvah: what I am most curious abou tin Naybree is the *underground* whatever-the-heck. (architecture geek evil smile)

(01/03 14:10:46) RedUhuru: I love my Naybree therapeutic sessions.

(01/03 14:10:47) Calum Traveler: i scrapped that idea in naybree.

(01/03 14:10:55) Calum Traveler: no meteor impact

(01/03 14:11:09) Calum Traveler: meteor shower should be happening any day one once we get the hotfix in and i can tell chogon to flip the switch

(01/03 14:11:09) PodHopper: pfew! 😀

(01/03 14:11:20) Calum Traveler: any day now*

(01/03 14:11:26) AlanDJ: I have to say that the beach in Naybree is a most excellent place to chill 🙂

(01/03 14:11:31) Mevvah: pretty! Much better than destruction.

(01/03 14:11:40) Mevvah: agree with Alan

(01/03 14:11:47) RedUhuru: Alan, to find back your soul even.

(01/03 14:11:48) IwonK: that’s why I don’t sing, Mevvah 😀

(01/03 14:11:51) Calum Traveler: anyways,

(01/03 14:11:58) Calum Traveler: fix is inbound sooner than later,

(01/03 14:12:13) Calum Traveler: last question?

(01/03 14:12:26) PodHopper: none in queue

(01/03 14:12:31) Calum Traveler: alright, thanks all

(01/03 13:19:31) Ereshkigal claps her hands
(01/03 13:19:39) Brooketh: We are a friendly, social group of Ahyoheek enthusiasts, far less "competitive" than our name would imply. We aim for a relaxed, casual hour of playing and conversation that is fun for all. We welcome you regardless of skill level. If you don't know how to play, we can quickly teach you; or you may simply wish to hang out and observe.
(01/03 13:19:51) Brooketh: We use a combination of voice and text chat. You don't need to use a mic, but you should at least have sound enabled so you can hear us.

(01/03 13:21:49) Korov'ev: We skipped last weekend, since it was the middle of the holidays 😉
(01/03 13:21:59) Korov'ev: The last expedition was in the Open Cave, so tomorrow we'll be in Deep Island.
(01/03 13:22:13) Korov'ev: Now, as the year just started, I'm thinking we could do a mostly playtime expedition, kicking it off with a door run 🙂
(01/03 13:22:30) Korov'ev: After that, we could go back to a couple of large ages we've already visited in 2025, like Pre-Swaltu0 or Janga; we'll decide at that time.
(01/03 13:22:43) Korov'ev: We may even try getting to the bugged ages, like Box Age or Eder Taygahn. We'll see!
(01/03 13:23:00) Korov'ev: As usual, every other week we'll be in the Open Cave; last time we explored the many dimensions of… the City of Dimensions.
(01/03 13:23:21) Korov'ev: We are now in Fan Age territory, so on the 11th we'll visit the first ages that made it on MOULa – although not the first to appear on TOC! We'll visit those soon.
(01/03 13:23:34) ScottMiller: I wish the hell I could get Deep Island to work!
(01/03 13:23:36) Korov'ev: And that's all I got! Any questions?

(01/03 13:25:15) Emor D'ni Lap applauds the RFD team
(01/03 13:25:18) AlanDJ: I'm going to go on a bit longer than everyone has before me, so if I start boring you, just throw things 🙂
(01/03 13:25:29) Mevvah starts to laugh
(01/03 13:25:33) AlanDJ: First a brief introduction as it's been a very long time since anyone from Radio Free D'ni addressed the AGM.
(01/03 13:25:34) *Jodok* shakes his head
(01/03 13:25:45) Mevvah: or kick them at you?
(01/03 13:25:49) AlanDJ: Radio Free D'ni is a music channel that broadcasts on an internet radio link every Sunday evening from 12:30 KI to 15:30 KI, with a main show, where we talk to you, from 13 KI to 15 KI.
(01/03 13:26:01) Claidi Song throws a nicely formed soft snowball lol
(01/03 13:26:12) AlanDJ: Each week we present a show with a theme, which might be a particular artist, or a genre, or telling a story.
(01/03 13:26:19) IwonK carefully throws a box of fine biskies
(01/03 13:26:27) AlanDJ: The shows are put together by our core team of five presenters with contributions from ohter listeners both inside and outside the cavern.
(01/03 13:26:41) AlanDJ: Other listers too…
(01/03 13:26:53) AlanDJ: So now I'd like to tell you about the upcoming Radio Free D'ni schedule.
(01/03 13:27:05) AlanDJ: We have a Remastered show about Jazz Fusion keyboard player Chick Corea tomorrow. Remastered shows are shows that were first broadcast five or so years ago which have been updated for the present day.
(01/03 13:27:25) AlanDJ: Then the Sunday after will be our regular annual look at musicians who left us in the year gone by, imaginatively titled "Lost in 2025" for this year.
(01/03 13:27:44) AlanDJ: On 18th January we have La Musique Tourne – a look at French Progressive Rock in the Seventies.
(01/03 13:28:08) AlanDJ: Secondly, I'd like to thank everyone who listened to the story show I did on Midwinter's Day – we had lots of people in the cavern and a peak of 22 listener connections,
(01/03 13:28:22) AlanDJ: which is a good number for us these days, especially for a holiday weekend just before Christmas when many will have been travelling.
(01/03 13:28:25) jtrigg: R.I. P Ozzie
(01/03 13:28:41) AlanDJ: For links to Radio Free D'ni, use urutunes or go to our website, radiofreedni.org
(01/03 13:29:06) AlanDJ: While I did enjoy putting the story show together and telling the story, I'm not sure what to do for next year.
(01/03 13:29:19) AlanDJ: So far the only story that occurs to me is John Masefield's The Box of Delights, which I'll have to read again :)Suggestions will welcome.
(01/03 13:29:39) AlanDJ: will be welcome, too…
(01/03 13:30:00) AlanDJ: Lastly and slightly cheekily I did enjoy the actual presentation of the show, which for the first time included background music behind some of the narration.
(01/03 13:30:14) AlanDJ: Yes, that was deliberate 🙂
(01/03 13:30:19) IwonK: ;]
(01/03 13:30:21) Mevvah: well done on that, Alan
(01/03 13:30:28) AlanDJ: If you'd like me to do more, please let me know – we could perhaps doe a midsummer story. I'd not like to promise one every week though as they do take a lot of preparation.
(01/03 13:30:43) AlanDJ: Perhaps one per quarter? Let me know what you think, including if you'd rather I didn't.
(01/03 13:30:46) Ereshkigal: Midsummer would be cool!
(01/03 13:31:00) ShilohOBrien: One each quarter would be cool!
(01/03 13:31:00) AlanDJ: I know that Ereshkigal has the Ancient Stories covered, and I'd not want to step on her toes.

(01/03 13:31:17) Mevvah: A Midsummer Night's Dream isn't ancient. ::smirk::
(01/03 13:31:26) AlanDJ: So, I'll see what I can come up with 🙂
(01/03 13:31:26) Ereshkigal: There are so many ancient stories, you'll never get in my way 🙂
(01/03 13:31:57) AlanDJ: Mevvah, I think Bill Wagstick was retelling an older story 🙂
(01/03 13:32:18) AlanDJ: Thanks for your attention, and are there any questions, please?
(01/03 13:32:30) PodHopper: None in queue

(01/03 13:33:59) 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.
(01/03 13:34:13) shokhootahn Rehn: First, the language classes…
(01/03 13:34:22) shokhootahn Rehn: There are evening classes available on weekday evenings Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, starting at 20:00, 21:00 or 22:00 KI time, depending on the student's schedule
(01/03 13:34:35) shokhootahn Rehn: (there already is a student scheduled for the Friday night classes)
(01/03 13:34:48) shokhootahn Rehn: There are daytime openings on Monday through Friday, starting at either 10:00 KI time, 11:00 KI time, or 12:00 KI time, again, depending on the student's schedule. Contact me by PM to set up a day and a time, KI mail me at KI# 80428, or on Discord at r'Tayrtahn.
(01/03 13:35:11) shokhootahn Rehn: (Discord is best)
(01/03 13:35:19) shokhootahn Rehn: All classes are Monday through Friday, only. There are no weekend classes available.
(01/03 13:35:28) shokhootahn Rehn: If you are going to contact me by KI-mail, please remember to include your KI #.
(01/03 13:35:40) shokhootahn Rehn: As always, current students can find last-minute updates to class times on the left-hand imager.
(01/03 13:35:59) shokhootahn Rehn: Now for some exciting news…
(01/03 13:36:07) shokhootahn Rehn: Another student has started taking the classes last month!
(01/03 13:36:19) *Jodok* claps his hands
(01/03 13:36:24) PodHopper cheers
(01/03 13:36:28) Ereshkigal cheers

(01/03 13:36:29) Claidi Song claps her hands
(01/03 13:36:40) Mevvah claps her hands
(01/03 13:36:43) shokhootahn Rehn: The Guild of Instructors' Hood will be open and public unless a class is in session.
(01/03 13:36:47) Thumbs up from AlanDJ
(01/03 13:36:53) shokhootahn Rehn: I have one request for visitors: Please do not post pellet points into the Hood imager…
(01/03 13:37:08) shokhootahn Rehn: Are there any questions?
(01/03 13:37:19) Korov'ev: one at a time, until we'll all speak D'ni here!
(01/03 13:37:22) PodHopper: None in queue
(01/03 13:37:25) shokhootahn Rehn: Moving on…
(01/03 13:37:31) shokhootahn Rehn: The second announcement is about r'Taytahn's Story Night.
(01/03 13:37:46) shokhootahn Rehn: Today, we will tell the fifth and final story (#74 of 104) from the game of Riven! Starting next week (and for the following eight weeks) we will tell the story from the novel, "Myst: The Book of D'ni."
(01/03 13:38:08) shokhootahn Rehn: Eventually, we cover all of the books and games, as well as the three human attempts at restoration.
(01/03 13:38:20) shokhootahn Rehn: There will be no story on Saturday, the 17th, due to family obligations.
(01/03 13:38:35) shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night covers the entire 10,000-year history of the D'ni plus all of the books and games, as well as the three human attempts at the restoration of D'ni!
(01/03 13:39:04) shokhootahn Rehn: I am recording Story Night for (eventual) upload to my YouTube channel (rTayrtahn). I have created an avatar for the purpose of recording. His name is "I'm a bot, do not message". Please do not PM him during the story unless you want to see your message displayed for the entire internet. 😉 Also, please do NOT add him as a buddy. He has no special abilities and is there only to record Story Night.
(01/03 13:39:41) shokhootahn Rehn: As an aside, I am also providing caption translations into several languages: French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish. Since I don't speak any of those languages, it will be up to my viewers to tell me how well that is working out. 🙂
(01/03 13:39:52) shokhootahn Rehn: Let me know if you would like to see any additional translations.
(01/03 13:40:05) shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night is held in the public neighborhood of Tsahno's Hood every Saturday.
(01/03 13:40:12) 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.
(01/03 13:40:30) shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night – Europe is held at 14:00 KI time on Saturday afternoon. We start gathering at the hood's fountain starting at 13:30 KI time except for AGM Saturdays, when it starts at 14:30 KI or 30 minutes after the AGM, whichever is later.
(01/03 13:40:50) shokhootahn Rehn: Lately, it's been starting at 14:30 on AGM Saturdays. 🙂
(01/03 13:40:58) shokhootahn Rehn: I also post changes on the left-hand imager in the hood.
(01/03 13:41:05) ScottMiller: It takes guts to take a D'ni language class! They aren't easy (I know)!\
(01/03 13:41:15) 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. 🙂
(01/03 13:41:51) shokhootahn Rehn: Minasunda is one of those members, as she runs the announcements channel on Discord.
(01/03 13:41:59) shokhootahn Rehn: The stories are told using voice so you will need to have your speakers or headsets on.
(01/03 13:42:12) 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. 🙂
(01/03 13:42:35) shokhootahn Rehn: We hope to see you there!
(01/03 13:42:40) shokhootahn Rehn: Any questions?
(01/03 13:42:51) PodHopper: None in queue

(01/03 13:47:37) rarified needs restoration.
(01/03 13:47:39) jtrigg: It's still 18 hours by air for me

(01/03 13:47:59) Mevvah: revamped?
(01/03 13:48:02) jtrigg: what was the revision to Chiso?
(01/03 13:48:06) *Jodok*: Happy ne year calum 😀
(01/03 13:48:08) Calum Traveler: yes, Chiso Preniv needed to be completely rebuilt.
(01/03 13:48:17) Calum Traveler: we lost the build file for it, due to reasons I wont get into here,
(01/03 13:48:18) Mevvah: 😮
(01/03 13:48:29) Calum Traveler: and so I had to import from the last successful build and rebuild the age's blend file
(01/03 13:48:29) Claidi Song: Happy New Year 2026 to Everyone!!!
(01/03 13:48:43) Ereshkigal: Chiso still looks amazing every Saturday I go there 🙂
(01/03 13:48:56) Calum Traveler: its because of this rebuild that we had some minor hiccups with getting Sameehn's release not being in Chiso originally,
(01/03 13:49:01) ShilohOBrien: And for his next trick…
(01/03 13:49:04) *Jodok*: Love the new door animation
(01/03 13:49:10) AlanDJ: Understood, Calum, and well done.
(01/03 13:49:17) Calum Traveler: but, im happy to say
(01/03 13:49:18) jtrigg: I'm waiting to be able to open the back door
(01/03 13:49:23) Calum Traveler: Sameehn is NOW on the Book Ring~!

(01/03 13:49:34) ShilohOBrien claps her hands
(01/03 13:49:37) Calum Traveler: and Trebivdil has ben moved to the shelf, next to Serene
(01/03 13:49:39) Mevvah claps her hands
(01/03 13:49:39) Ereshkigal: I still have to check out Sameehn
(01/03 13:49:45) RedUhuru claps his hands
(01/03 13:49:48) Dreamer3: Love the new Chiso additions.
(01/03 13:49:50) Calum Traveler: on that note, ive received some feedback that there was some issues with finding the books on the shelves,
(01/03 13:49:59) Mevvah: Trebivdil? I think that's a ndw one on me.
(01/03 13:50:13) Calum Traveler: i have some suggestions and ideas on how to remedy that, and ill be testing new signage on the Minkatas
(01/03 13:50:16) Thumbs up from Emor D'ni Lap
(01/03 13:50:22) Calum Traveler: Trebivdil was released after Serene, one of the first ages released,
(01/03 13:50:29) Calum Traveler: via Chiso, atleast
(01/03 13:50:40) ShilohOBrien: It's the minecraft looking one.
(01/03 13:50:49) IwonK: Mystcraft ;]
(01/03 13:50:54) Calum Traveler: *ahhem*
(01/03 13:51:04) AlanDJ: wince
(01/03 13:51:14) Calum Traveler: additionally to this update, we now have the PREAFTER volumes,
(01/03 13:51:27) ShilohOBrien claps her hands
(01/03 13:51:30) Calum Traveler: they have been added to the shelf with the Heritage Docs, and the Activity In The Cavern Books
(01/03 13:51:32) Mevvah claps her hands
(01/03 13:51:51) Thumbs up from AlanDJ
(01/03 13:51:54) caver1: Many thanks to age builders!
(01/03 13:51:56) Calum Traveler: this shelf will be, going forwards, called the "Explorer Retrospective" Shelf,
(01/03 13:52:15) Calum Traveler: it is on this shelf that volumes about our history, written from explorer perspectives, will be stored going forwards,
(01/03 13:52:31) Calum Traveler: on the opposite side of the entrance, I have plans for pure historical content to be added
(01/03 13:52:33) Thumbs up from Ereshkigal
(01/03 13:52:46) Calum Traveler: that is to say, archived forum posts from the DRC Forums, as well as our D'ni Explorer forums,
(01/03 13:52:58) Calum Traveler: i plan to also add chatlogs from the DRC era as well as our current Era of work,
(01/03 13:53:40) Calum Traveler: this is all in an effort to preserve not just the history of the cavern as we saw it, but as in as pristine of a condition as it originally was recorded,
(01/03 13:54:11) Dreamer3: Future generations thank you : – )
(01/03 13:54:11) AlanDJ: Lots of work, Calum
(01/03 13:54:13) Calum Traveler: it will be a bit of a work in progress, but hopefully, this will address some concerns i've heard regarding the Explorer Retrospectives not being "accurate enough"
(01/03 13:54:22) Calum Traveler: to which ill agree,
(01/03 13:54:37) Calum Traveler: the Heritage Docs, for example, were never meant to be the END ALL BE ALL of cavern history
(01/03 13:54:59) Calum Traveler: during the time I ran Heritage Night, i tried to get as many folks who were present for those events to give their perspectives on those events,
(01/03 13:55:17) Calum Traveler: it didnt work out so well as id hoped, so by trying to preserve the actual raw encounters in chatlog form, im hoping…
(01/03 13:55:18) Calum Traveler: well
(01/03 13:55:36) Calum Traveler: im hoping that it will atleast crystalize some element of the "truth" of our history here in D'ni
(01/03 13:56:07) Calum Traveler: as the dni explorer forums are easiest to back up at the present moment, those chatlogs and forum posts will be the first bunch added to Chiso Preniv, while I hunt down what i need for the DRC era
(01/03 13:56:41) Mevvah claps her hands
(01/03 13:56:45) neurovac: very good work!
(01/03 13:56:47) Mevvah: well done, Calum.
(01/03 13:56:49) Calum Traveler: finally, i did recieve a complaint that i'd removed a commentrary journal from Chiso Preniv, regarding the author of it.
(01/03 13:56:50) ShilohOBrien claps her hands
(01/03 13:56:57) Calum Traveler: id like to say that its total erasure was not my intent,
(01/03 13:57:28) Calum Traveler: the chiso commentary, as well as the 'original version' of the Guild of Messengers Pub Commentary, will be added to their own shelf on the upper level of Chiso Preniv, for the sake of historical archiving,
(01/03 13:57:47) Calum Traveler: i just forgot to put the old chiso commentary up on the shelves during the last push for release ^^;;;
(01/03 13:58:06) AlanDJ says sad thumbs up
(01/03 13:58:15) Calum Traveler: im stating this simply as a historian,
(01/03 13:58:27) Calum Traveler: there are lots of people who have contributed to our cavern history in many ways
(01/03 13:58:27) shokhootahn Rehn: It happens, Calum. 🙂
(01/03 13:58:46) Calum Traveler: it's something ive been tussling with with regards to his presence in the forum posts and chatlogs,
(01/03 13:58:59) Calum Traveler: in the end, i cant erase a person's impact from history,
(01/03 13:59:17) ShilohOBrien: Nor should you.
(01/03 13:59:20) Mevvah: nor should we.
(01/03 13:59:20) Calum Traveler: the bare limit ill be doing is removing a legal real world surface name and replacing it with the known online handle.
(01/03 13:59:23) *Jodok*: Try to separate the art from the artist
(01/03 13:59:27) AlanDJ says positive thumbs up
(01/03 13:59:45) Mevvah: while acknowledging that not all of history is good history.
(01/03 14:00:01) Calum Traveler: not all people have affected the restoration of dni in good ways,
(01/03 14:00:04) Emor D'ni Lap: "Its disappearance was unintentional and it will return to the shelves". All that needs to be said. The jury is still out, AFAIK
(01/03 14:00:08) Calum Traveler: but not all have affected it in bda ways,
(01/03 14:00:17) Calum Traveler: yes, emor, it was an unintentional disappearance,
(01/03 14:00:26) Calum Traveler: and it will return.
(01/03 14:00:26) Emor D'ni Lap: Got it, thanks
(01/03 14:00:40) jtrigg: excreta occurs
(01/03 14:00:45) Calum Traveler: one final note about chiso,
(01/03 14:00:57) Calum Traveler: the doorway in the basement
(01/03 14:01:03) Calum Traveler: i will not be opening those doors.
(01/03 14:01:12) Mevvah is sad
(01/03 14:01:19) Calum Traveler: i do not have any of the design plans for what was to go beyond them
(01/03 14:01:20) *Jodok* is sad
(01/03 14:01:33) Dreamer3: Also, it's dangerous out there.
(01/03 14:01:33) Calum Traveler: i do not have any of the actual build files, otherwise my life this last year would have been easier.
(01/03 14:01:40) Emor D'ni Lap: but…at this point, ANYTHING can go behind those doors
(01/03 14:01:52) Calum Traveler: for the present build, I have put *something* behind the doors,
(01/03 14:02:00) Calum Traveler: but please do not treat it as a canonical 'this is whats always there'
(01/03 14:02:11) Calum Traveler: some day, someone may be inclined to open those doors and create that path.
(01/03 14:02:14) Mevvah: of course. Understood

(01/03 14:02:15) Dreamer3: Schordinger's doors.
(01/03 14:02:16) AlanDJ: Understood. Sigh. The Internet, for better or worse, is now part of Real Life and subject to legal issues. Would that it were not.
(01/03 14:02:22) Calum Traveler: but that will not be me.
(01/03 14:02:28) Dreamer3: Schrodinger . . .
(01/03 14:02:28) Mevvah: exactly dreamer
(01/03 14:02:42) Calum Traveler: for anyone inclined to explore with bot techniques,

(01/03 14:03:26) IwonK: the cake is a lie…
(01/03 14:03:28) Ereshkigal: Chiso is, in the end, an archaeological site; and many archaeological sites have riddles that remain unsolved

(01/03 14:05:41) Mevvah claps her hands
(01/03 14:05:53) Calum Traveler: and all intended features for phase 1 have been planned for, and accounted for

(01/03 14:06:04) Calum Traveler: i do have a few moving parts i need to wait for inorder to fully lock dwn its features, but

(01/03 14:06:35) Calum Traveler: at this point, it is purely making sure things work as expected in a multiplayer environment,
(01/03 14:06:46) Calum Traveler: plus, hammering out textures, collisions, sounds, etc.

(12/06 13:12:04) Claidi Song: Thank you Babbel for all the beautiful music this year!

(12/06 13:12:54) Claidi Song: New announcement of a very long running show:

(12/06 13:13:09) Claidi Song: ~~~ Radio Free D’ni Christmas Story ~~~

(12/06 13:13:15) Claidi Song: Alan had a RL high-priority conflict occur. He sent his announce as follows:

(12/06 13:13:25) Claidi Song: “There will be an extra Radio Free D’ni show over the Christmas holiday, breaking our usual two-week hiatus. Last year I – Alan, that is – told you the story of A Christmas Carol with bits of music added in. That was very satisfying all round, and so I (Alan) will bring you another Christmas story, told in a compressed form and with suitably musical interludes.”

(12/06 13:13:53) Claidi Song: “This year I have chosen a personal favourite, Susan Cooper’s The Dark Is Rising, a coming-of-age story that spans the Twelve Days of Christmas and is rooted in the British countryside where Susan Cooper grew up. Many elements of mythology, legend and folklore are incorporated and the novel has won prizes as well as a very large fan following.”

(12/06 13:14:04) ShilohOBrien: Ooooo!

(12/06 13:14:25) Claidi Song: “I hope you can join me (Alan) on Sunday December 21st – Midwinter’s Day – at 13 KI (8pm UK time, 9pm Central European Time) for a Radio Free D’ni Christmas Story.”

(12/06 13:14:27) Ereshkigal: That sounds amaxing!

(12/06 13:14:32) Ereshkigal: *amazing

(12/06 13:14:38) Thumbs up from rarified

(12/06 13:14:39) Claidi Song: It does!

(12/06 13:14:45) ShilohOBrien: I love that book!!

(12/06 13:14:52) Claidi Song: ~~~ MOULa Choir ~~~

(12/06 13:15:01) ShilohOBrien: “When the Dark comes rising, six will turn it back…”

(12/06 13:15:18) Prad: Like you know, Babbeltje and me have this ongoing project bringing back the cavern choir in the works, and I wanted to give you a status report.

(12/06 13:15:29) Prad: First of all – for everyone who wants to become a member of the choir, we have two recommendations for participation:

(12/06 13:15:39) Prad: 1.) You need to be able to sing (to be able to carry a tune, to be exact). I trust on your judgement and people you know well for that – we don’t do a qualifying examination atm.

(12/06 13:15:50) Prad: 2.) You don’t need to be able to read a musical sheet, but you need to be able to sing along a demo voice we provide for each voice of the choir.

(12/06 13:16:00) Prad: 3.) You need something to record music with, like usually microphone + headphone, some PC/Laptop with a soundcard and some recording program (there’s a bunch of freeware which suffices our purposes)

(12/06 13:16:16) Prad: Next about our progress: Since last week of october and during november Babbeltje and I have put together a program to record of 3 christmas songs for december, ‘We wish you a merry christmas’, ‘Tollite Hostias’ from the christmas oratorio of Camille Saint-Saens and ‘Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer’.

(12/06 13:16:33) Prad: The exercising and tracks of ‘We wish you a merry christmas’ and ‘Tollite Hostias’ together with their musical scores (for those who can make use of them – there are always some) are on Babbeltje’s Discord Server since beginning of November, and I have put the recording tracks for ‘Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer’ and the musical on the same Discord Server at the beginning of December.

(12/06 13:16:53) Prad: For recording these songs we have planned two weeks since start of december until december 15th – a short time, I know – but for two reasons it will be the deadline for sending in recordings:

(12/06 13:17:08) Prad: 1.) We plan to include it in the christmas country special of Eternal Seeker on thursday the 25th which he has tmk. generously reserved us a spot where we could present our christmas songs (and probably what else we have recorded so far).

(12/06 13:17:27) Prad: 2.) I need a bit of time to mix it between the deadline and the presentation on the event

(12/06 13:17:37) Prad: So the official recording frame has already begun – I’ll take anything from recordings based on exercising tracks to recordings based on recording tracks for the final mix should we see time running out.

(12/06 13:18:20) Prad: After our two months sabbatical august and september we have gotten quite few feedback from people interested in the MOULa Choir, so I beg you all who have already provided voice recordings for ‘Dona Nobis Pacem’ and ‘All Through The Night’, who entered the choir afterwards and who are interested in getting this MOULa Choir project done,

(12/06 13:18:36) Prad: to record and send in your voices (WITHOUT BACKING – so mute the backing track in your software before exporting to mp3 to give me your voices only) until december 15th.

(12/06 13:18:38) Ereshkigal: I had an alto voice once, but I haven’t sung in 20 years 😀

(12/06 13:18:46) Prad: Your shared efforts will decide if we can deliver a MOULa Choir Christmas Mix to the country evening event on december 25th.

(12/06 13:18:57) Prad: Last but not least: Stay healthy (nobody can sing with a strong cold, of course).

(12/06 13:19:04) Prad: Short reminder on the request of Jodok:

(12/06 13:19:13) Prad: On The Open Cave we have some competitive games which are designed for two or more players, my Ayoheek Event each Monday at 14 KI time in the Ayohikers Hood there, and the two new games Tic-Tac-Toc (Tic-Tac-Toe on The Open Cave) and Connect Four in City of Dimensions age – the TOC admin Filtik has put much time and energy into building, implementing and getting tested these new games.

(12/06 13:19:16) Claidi Song: I think I sound best with a cold lol

(12/06 13:19:16) IwonK: I have a destructive voice, I haven’t sung for the sake of humanity 😉

(12/06 13:19:22) skyisblu: lol

(12/06 13:19:24) Prad: We would encourage you to come to The Open Cave and play these games when you have time and are in the mood – they’re all very entertaining.

(12/06 13:19:35) Prad needs a moment to breathe!

(12/06 13:19:39) Verna: Will it be available elsewhere to hear, for those who can’t attend country evening?

(12/06 13:19:44) Prad: Thats’s all.

(12/06 13:19:47) Guild Of Christians waves goodbye

(12/06 13:19:53) Prad: Any questions?

(12/06 13:19:55) Claidi Song: No questions in the queue. I can’t wait to hear you all sing!

(12/06 13:20:05) *Jodok* thanks you

(12/06 13:20:10) Claidi Song: Thank you, Prad!

(12/06 13:20:13) shokhootahn Rehn: Will there be a reply after the event?

(12/06 13:20:38) Prad: ah I see Verna question – we can think of something to publish them – I haven’t talked with Babbeltje about that yet – but I sure can

(12/06 13:20:41) shokhootahn Rehn: *replay

(12/06 13:20:48) Verna: thanks!

(12/06 13:20:49) PodHopper: Verna: Babbel told me she would play them at her birthdayparty as well, januari 5 I believe

(12/06 13:20:58) Prad: ah okay

(12/06 13:21:03) shokhootahn Rehn: Great!

(12/06 13:21:12) Claidi Song: \/clap Thank you, Prad!

(12/06 13:22:16) Augur: Shorah, everyone, and happy holidays!

(12/06 13:22:28) Augur: We ended our first year of the Cavern Book Club with a book about video games–Ernest Cline’s “Ready Player One”.

(12/06 13:22:45) Augur: We are starting 2026 with a video game related book as well… this one a little nearer and dearer to all of us here in the Cavern…

(12/06 13:23:00) Augur: January 24th at 12:30 KIT, we will be meeting in the Eder Delin of Nezetahn’s Hood to discuss “The Book of Ti’ana” by Rand Miller and David Wingrove.

(12/06 13:23:10) Prad: a-one for the ready, a-two for the play, a-one baby baby so go go go

(12/06 13:23:19) Augur: As always, EVERYONE is welcome at our book club meetings! By no means do you have to read every selection and make it to every meeting to join us. If only once a year something is picked that piques your interest, by all means drop in just for that one meeting.

(12/06 13:23:51) Augur: I am very much looking forward to getting to discuss one of my favorite books of all time with other Myst fans!

(12/06 13:24:06) Augur: I hope you all have safe travels and good company this holiday season and I will see you in the new year!

(12/06 13:24:19) Claidi Song: \ No questions in the queue.

(12/06 13:25:12) Brooketh: Shorah, all.

(12/06 13:25:33) Brooketh: The Competitive Myst Online group cordially invites all cavern dwellers to our weekly social Ahyoheek game night, every Saturday from 21-22KI in the Competitive Myst Online Hood. Ahyoheek is a D’ni game very similar to Rock-Paper-Scissors.

(12/06 13:25:47) Brooketh: We are a friendly, social group of Ahyoheek enthusiasts, far less “competitive” than our name would imply. We aim for a relaxed, casual hour of playing and conversation that is fun for all. We welcome you regardless of skill level. If you don’t know how to play, we can quickly teach you; or you may simply wish to hang out and observe.

(12/06 13:26:04) Brooketh: We use a combination of voice and text chat; you don’t need to use a mic, but you should at least have sound enabled so you can hear us.We use a combination of voice and text chat; you don’t need to use a mic, but you should at least have sound enabled so you can hear us.

(12/06 13:27:11) Claidi Song: ~~~ D’ni Language Class and Story Night ~~~

(12/06 13:27:14) Claidi Song beckons you

(12/06 13:27:14) Claidi Song: Come on up, shokhootahn Rehn!

(12/06 13:27:21) Prad: it’s usually well visited – if you want to see a ‘full table’ heek make it at least once to that event

(12/06 13:27:48) 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.

(12/06 13:27:55) shokhootahn Rehn: First, the language classes…

(12/06 13:28:04) shokhootahn Rehn: There are evening classes available on weekday evenings Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, starting at 20:00, 21:00 or 22:00 KI time, depending on the student’s schedule.

(12/06 13:28:34) shokhootahn Rehn: There are daytime openings on Monday through Friday, starting at either 10:00 KI time, 11:00 KI time, or 12:00 KI time, again, depending on the student’s schedule. Contact me by PM to set up a day and a time, KI mail me at KI# 80428, or on Discord at r’Tayrtahn

(12/06 13:28:55) shokhootahn Rehn: (Discord is best)

(12/06 13:29:05) shokhootahn Rehn: All classes are Monday through Friday, only. There are no weekend classes available.

(12/06 13:29:16) shokhootahn Rehn: If you are going to contact me by KI-mail, please remember to include your KI #.

(12/06 13:29:27) shokhootahn Rehn: As always, current students can find last-minute updates to class times on the left-hand imager.

(12/06 13:29:34) shokhootahn Rehn: Now for some exciting news…

(12/06 13:29:44) shokhootahn Rehn: Another student has started taking the classes last month!

(12/06 13:30:08) shokhootahn Rehn: The Guild of Instructors’ Hood will be open and public unless a class is in session.

(12/06 13:30:30) shokhootahn Rehn: I have one request for visitors: Please do not post pellet points into the Hood imager…

(12/06 13:30:41) shokhootahn Rehn: As I’ve said, before, 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.

(12/06 13:30:54) shokhootahn Rehn: Are there any questions?

(12/06 13:31:15) Claidi Song: No questions in the queue.

(12/06 13:31:21) shokhootahn Rehn: Moving on…

(12/06 13:31:28) shokhootahn Rehn: The second announcement is about r’Taytahn’s Story Night.

(12/06 13:31:45) shokhootahn Rehn: Starting today, we will begin the story #70 (of 104) which is from the game of Riven!

(12/06 13:32:00) shokhootahn Rehn: Eventually, we cover all of the books and games, as well as the three human attempts at restoration.

(12/06 13:32:13) shokhootahn Rehn: Though this month has the holiday of Christmas, it will not affect either Story Night.

(12/06 13:32:28) shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night covers the entire 10,000-year history of the D’ni plus all of the books and games, as well as the three human attempts at the restoration of D’ni!

(12/06 13:32:52) shokhootahn Rehn: I am recording Story Night for (eventual) upload to my YouTube channel (rTayrtahn). I have created an avatar for the purpose of recording. His name is “I’m a bot, do not message”. Please do not PM him during the story unless you want to see your message displayed for the entire internet. 😉 Also, please do NOT add him as a buddy. He has no special abilities and is there only to record Story Night.

(12/06 13:33:20) shokhootahn Rehn: Unfortunately, I am also updating the stories from the novels (adding more content from the books) and games so I haven’t had time to upload stories in a while and probably won’t have time for a few more months.

(12/06 13:33:57) shokhootahn Rehn: I have a bit of a backlog to work through!

(12/06 13:34:23) Ereshkigal: What will happen after Story # 104?

(12/06 13:34:28) shokhootahn Rehn: As an aside, I am also providing caption translations into several languages: French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish. Since I don’t speak any of those languages, it will be up to my viewers to tell me how well that is working out. 🙂

(12/06 13:34:35) shokhootahn Rehn: Let me know if you would like to see any additional translations

(12/06 13:34:54) shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night is held in the public neighborhood of Tsahno’s Hood every Saturday.

(12/06 13:34:54) Prad: backlog … sounds like wood chopping in the garden …

(12/06 13:35:04) shokhootahn Rehn: lol

(12/06 13:35:12) 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.

(12/06 13:35:19) shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night – Europe is held at 14:00 KI time on Saturday afternoon. We start gathering at the hood’s fountain starting at 13:30 KI time except for AGM Saturdays, when it starts at 14:30 KI or 30 minutes after the AGM, whichever is later.

(12/06 13:35:27) ShilohOBrien: Backlog…also a euphamism for constipation.

(12/06 13:35:40) IndigoMoon: lol

(12/06 13:35:48) philipgr: lol

(12/06 13:36:07) Claidi Song: \cringe

(12/06 13:36:08) shokhootahn Rehn: Lately (thanks to Claidi’s organized handling of the AGM — Thanks Cladi!), it’s been starting at 14:30 on AGM Saturdays. 🙂

(12/06 13:36:12) Claidi Song cringes

(12/06 13:36:26) shokhootahn Rehn: I also post changes on the left-hand imager in the hood.

(12/06 13:36:34) ShilohOBrien grins…yes, most doctors have this kind of humor.

(12/06 13:36:36) 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. 🙂

(12/06 13:36:46) shokhootahn Rehn: Minasunda is one of those members, as she runs the announcements channel on Discord.

(12/06 13:36:51) shokhootahn Rehn: The stories are told using voice so you will need to have your speakers or headsets on.

(12/06 13:37:03) 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. 🙂

(12/06 13:37:32) shokhootahn Rehn: We hope to see you there!

(12/06 13:37:34) shokhootahn Rehn: Any questions?

(12/06 13:37:36) Claidi Song: I didn’t see the answer to What happens after #104?

(12/06 13:37:58) Calum Traveler: doesnt story night loop back around to the beginning again once its done?

(12/06 13:37:59) shokhootahn Rehn: Oh! The cycle begins again

(12/06 13:38:06) Prad: that was a question about a question

(12/06 13:38:15) Ereshkigal: Ooh thanks!

(12/06 13:38:17) Claidi Song starts to laugh

(12/06 13:38:18) shokhootahn Rehn: The clock resets to 10,000 years ago. 😀

(12/06 13:38:40) Kayara: Integer overflow

(12/06 13:38:46) shokhootahn Rehn: lol

(12/06 13:38:47) Claidi Song: no other question in the que

(12/06 13:38:57) shokhootahn Rehn thanks you very much!

(12/06 13:38:59) ShilohOBrien: *singing* The Ciiiircle of Liiiiiiiife!!!

(12/06 13:41:44) *Jodok*: LOL

(12/06 13:41:46) Calum Traveler: as for Minkata shenanigans… the universe has continued to make it tediously necessary to redo the same steps over and over again!

(12/06 13:42:02) Calum Traveler: rarified is hoping we’ll get minkata prime fully sorted out this… week?

(12/06 13:42:12) Calum Traveler: last we had it it was almost all good save for a few minor manifest hiccups

(12/06 13:42:14) rarified: Last month

(12/06 13:42:18) philipgr: feed the gremlins

(12/06 13:42:47) Claidi Song: Or stop feeding the bugs

(12/06 13:43:07) Prad: Feet the Crimmus

(12/06 13:43:08) Calum Traveler: as a reminder for those who were unaware, due to a confluence of a few different situations, the repo had a ticket that got contaminated with outdated data,

(12/06 13:43:12) rarified: Moral of the story. Don’t look under the rocks. There be demons there.

(12/06 13:43:20) Calum Traveler: stuff that wasnt supposed to go to prime was going to prime,

(12/06 13:43:36) Calum Traveler: tools updated, broke some existing functionality with regards to naming conventions, blah blah

(12/06 13:43:43) Kayara: And under the carpet, where the dead bodies are stored. 😛

(12/06 13:43:54) Ereshkigal: Were the bugs all hiding under the rocks? 🙂

(12/06 13:43:54) IwonK: don’t blow our cover 😉

(12/06 13:43:57) Calum Traveler: it’s proven to be that the universe *REALLY* likes us redoing the same stuff over and over again this patch cycle.

(12/06 13:44:14) Calum Traveler: on age dev front news…

(12/06 13:44:18) Claidi Song: That’s the problem, you call it a cycle

(12/06 13:44:27) Prad: Like Yeesha told us – the circle is complete

(12/06 13:44:31) Calum Traveler: Descent is in testing on Alpha,

(12/06 13:44:36) *Jodok*: life is a lady that earns money selling love LOL

(12/06 13:44:47) Calum Traveler: ametist is currently working on the node doors with some improvements she had in mind,

(12/06 13:45:03) Claidi Song: cool!

(12/06 13:45:04) Calum Traveler: and i’m gradually planning out the stages beyond the river.

(12/06 13:45:08) ShilohOBrien: woot!

(12/06 13:45:13) IndigoMoon: good news!

(12/06 13:45:21) *Jodok*: excellent news

(12/06 13:45:26) Ereshkigal: Oooh, so Descent really is coming together!

(12/06 13:45:40) rarified: Some of it!

(12/06 13:45:41) ural: yay!!!

(12/06 13:45:45) Calum Traveler: GoMePub: I’m hoping to finish the last of the stuff i need to do there while Ametist is working on descent, and hopefully get the pub rebuild up on Minkata Alpha by either this week, or year’s end.

(12/06 13:45:53) rarified: Descent is **BIG**

(12/06 13:45:56) ShilohOBrien: you Age developers, If I manage to get to a Mysterium, I’m buying you drinks!

(12/06 13:45:56) Calum Traveler: yes it is,

(12/06 13:46:15) Calum Traveler: and puzzle planning is just as important as physical layout planning…

(12/06 13:46:36) Claidi Song: Yes, it is!

(12/06 13:46:36) Calum Traveler: at the moment on alpha i have some WIP stuff with the mines and the river camp area in place,

(12/06 13:46:40) Prad: their drinks are fully lit and multitextured

(12/06 13:46:47) Calum Traveler: i dont expect that stuff to be ready in the full release

(12/06 13:46:51) ShilohOBrien: and bug free!

(12/06 13:46:54) Thumbs up from IndigoMoon

(12/06 13:46:58) Calum Traveler: but I do want most of it to be in place so stuff doesnt just ‘randomly appear one update’

(12/06 13:47:07) Calum Traveler: atleast visually

(12/06 13:47:13) Calum Traveler: functionality can wait until later lol

(12/06 13:47:37) Calum Traveler: but if we’re lucky, i might be able to chop Descent’s phase status down a little

(12/06 13:47:44) Calum Traveler: we want this to go right and well,

(12/06 13:47:56) Calum Traveler: and to that end, we’re trying to make sure that the interactions work as well as they absolutely can.

(12/06 13:48:01) BIG thumbs up from *Jodok*

(12/06 13:48:04) Calum Traveler: we’ve had folks doing single player testing so far,

(12/06 13:48:18) Calum Traveler: but if folks want to gather neighbors in their minkata alpha and visit their hood descent

(12/06 13:48:24) Calum Traveler: please do poke around in pairs or groups.

(12/06 13:48:38) Calum Traveler: co-op always has unique challenges to it that single player testers can miss

(12/06 13:48:49) Calum Traveler: such as music cues firing off to the entire age even though you set them to be Local Only :V

(12/06 13:49:07) Calum Traveler: there are also some new music tracks in testing as well,

(12/06 13:49:15) Calum Traveler: provided by the talented Semjay

(12/06 13:49:17) Claidi Song: \Will the Descent include music fro Myst V? shokhootahn Rehn

(12/06 13:49:29) Claidi Song: *form

(12/06 13:49:38) Calum Traveler: the only Myst V track that we have currently is the same music track that plays in Descent right now.

(12/06 13:49:48) Calum Traveler: because that was reused from URU descent in Myst V

(12/06 13:49:50) shokhootahn Rehn nods his head

(12/06 14:01:16) RedUhuru waves goodbye

(12/06 14:01:21) Korov’ev: The December sparkly is a tricky one to get, especially in shards like TOC or DI where there’s only one active per month, as Yahvo intended 😉

(12/06 14:01:26) Korov’ev: From my part, throughout December I’ll try to keep the Age Expeditions a bit shorter, to let attendees and myself help each other during playtime. December is Sparkember!
