    (03/07 13:02:08) Korov'ev: As usual, I'll remind you the 5 Meeting Rules:
    (03/07 13:02:15) Korov'ev: 1. Please *keep chatter to a minimum* while speakers are talking. The occasional comment or emote is fine, but be respectful and let the speaker finish.
    (03/07 13:02:25) Korov'ev: 2. If you have a question for a speaker, please don't ask it directly: PM it to me. Be sure a "?" is somewhere in it to properly log the question in the queue.
    (03/07 13:02:37) Korov'ev: 3. Speakers, please indicate when you are done speaking and ready for questions, and when you're ready for the next question.
    (03/07 13:02:45) Korov'ev: 4. If a question requires a long explanation, we may have to skip it to keep things moving. In that case, you can always PM any speaker once they've left the stage.
    (03/07 13:02:57) Korov'ev: 5. A summary and a chatlog of this meeting will be published in the next few days on the Guild of Messengers' site: https://www.guildofmessengers.info/
    (03/07 13:03:07) Korov'ev: Of course, you can start your own chatlog with "/startlog".
    (03/07 13:03:29) Korov'ev: As you know, tomorrow is the International Women's Day;
    (03/07 13:03:36) Korov'ev: a two-parts music program is planned, let's hear about it from Nosila!

    (03/07 13:28:55) Doobes: His Ages are definitely worth seeing. He was one of the pioneers.
    (03/07 13:28:56) Emor D'ni Lap: Andy Legate very generously created dozens of invaluable Agebuilding tutorials that have been used by virtually every agebuilder we have today.
    (03/07 13:29:07) Doobes: Including me.
    (03/07 13:29:22) Dulcamara: yes me too
    (03/07 13:29:33) AlanD bows head
    (03/07 13:29:40) Korov'ev: is also to give some feedback to the authors – at least those still around – which is why I encourage the participants to write a bit about the visit afterwards.
    (03/07 13:29:59) Korov'ev: I'm also hoping that, by seeing all the Ages created during these years, more people will be inspired to create their own.
    (03/07 13:30:20) Korov'ev: Now, setting up Deep Island client can be a bit tricky in some situations; there's a short guide here: https://www.guildofmessengers.info/how-to-play#deepisland
    (03/07 13:30:50) Korov'ev: Well, let's move to some Cyan news:
    (03/07 13:30:57) Korov'ev: The launcher got a small update, finally fixing the login screen, with a funding indicator: not the CavCon, but a simple % of costs covered.
    (03/07 13:31:13) Korov'ev: Speaking of CavCon, early in February Chogon released some worrying statistics about the Cavcon:
    (03/07 13:31:19) JamieM(2.0): (saw that on the way in)
    (03/07 13:31:23) Korov'ev: donations had not been covering the server costs at least since June 2019.
    (03/07 13:31:29) Korov'ev: However, by the end of February, donations were again above costs!
    (03/07 13:31:31) CT Hostess Susa'n is amazed!
    (03/07 13:31:34) Reality Check: we are at 120%
    (03/07 13:31:37) Korov'ev: CavFunding = 120% ; Population = 32,754 ; Unique visits = 1,343
    (03/07 13:31:38) Doobes: Well done, everyone!

    (03/07 13:32:25) Korov'ev: As you are probably aware, marker games have been disabled until an issue that is causing the server to crash is fixed.
    (03/07 13:32:36) Korov'ev: No one likes them disabled, so please be patient until a solution is found.
    (03/07 13:32:44) Emor D'ni Lap: Too. Many. Markers. !!!!
    (03/07 13:32:54) Doobes: Flooded the lattice, they did. 😉
    (03/07 13:33:00) Korov'ev: markers, markers everywhere
    (03/07 13:33:11) Ehren: Are the markers themselves the problem?
    (03/07 13:33:13) JamieM(2.0): LOL IC expainastoin
    (03/07 13:33:17) Grandbad: Too many broken marker games.
    (03/07 13:33:35) Korov'ev: it's unclear, but they seem related
    (03/07 13:33:46) JamieM(2.0): hmm….
    (03/07 13:33:49) Reality Check: broken marker games can be deleted using Whom
    (03/07 13:33:55) Ro"Jethhe: It's all Kaaja's fault
    (03/07 13:33:55) Reality Check: it is still working
    (03/07 13:34:08) Korov'ev: Also, the Facebook Account API, that was used to verify a cell/mobile phone with a text message, was replaced with Amazon's AWS equivalent.
    (03/07 13:34:14) Heather: Please don't make me re-create all my avvies..lol
    (03/07 13:34:15) Sleeper Jan: grabs a hammer to bam on Ro

    (03/07 13:34:35) Doobes: Yeah, just sit on it for now until it's figured out.
    (03/07 13:34:43) Korov'ev: Meanwhile, a new Cyan Venture has been announced: Area Man Lives, from Numinous Games!
    (03/07 13:35:03) Korov'ev: There's an ongoing Alternate Reality Game connected to it, that started with the address to KQV Radio that appears in the teaser
    (03/07 13:35:06) Ro"Jethhe: 999 markers in a quest is absurd
    (03/07 13:35:15) Heather: (My money goes elsewhere )
    (03/07 13:35:38) Korov'ev: The mystery is being investigated on the #areamanlives channel of the Cyan Chat Discord server.
    (03/07 13:35:40) Doobes: You won't have to recreate avatars, Heather. Don't worry.
    (03/07 13:36:02) Korov'ev: Patience!
    (03/07 13:36:18) Doobes: We're almost there, folks. Just be patient. 🙂
    (03/07 13:36:26) Heather: That is one thing we have patience!!!
    (03/07 13:36:29) Doobes: And respectful of our moderator.
    (03/07 13:36:34) Adam {Hoikas}: I thought "Area Man Lives" was a boomer rock band. Thanks for the clarification 🙂
    (03/07 13:36:45) Korov'ev: Visit Gehn, or Deep island, in the meantime 😉
    (03/07 13:36:45) Doobes laughs
    (03/07 13:37:03) Doobes: Gehn Shard's got markers to spare. 🙂
    (03/07 13:37:04) Korov'ev: well, radio is involved!
    (03/07 13:37:31) Adam {Hoikas}: you know what they say, video killed the radio star 😉
    (03/07 13:37:43) philipgr: lol
    (03/07 13:37:47) Doobes: And the internet killed the video star. Hehehe.
    (03/07 13:37:48) Korov'ev: but the area man lives

    (03/07 13:37:52) JamieM(2.0): (I can't belive I get that refence)
    (03/07 13:37:59) BatPrad: not radio killed the video star?

  • February 2020 All Guilds Meeting Summary

    Here is the summary for today’s Meeting, along with the raw and cleansed chatlogs!

    (more…)

  • All Guilds Meeting – February 2020 – Cleansed Chatlog

    (02/01 13:01:55)Korov’ev: Shorah, and welcome to the 118th All Guilds Meeting!

    (02/01 13:02:05)Korov’ev: In the D’ni calendar today is Leevosahn 25, 9675, and the time is 8:04:19:24

    (02/01 13:02:06)Handyman Henry: and last

    (02/01 13:02:10)angelmyst: I dont mind Discord..it took a bit of getting used to but it seems okay

    (02/01 13:02:22)Korov’ev: If there’s anyone new: welcome to the Cavern! You picked the best time to visit 🙂

    (02/01 13:02:27)Aristocat leans forward

    (02/01 13:02:32)Korov’ev: As usual, I’ll remind you the 5 Meeting Rules:

    (02/01 13:02:34)saikoyama: Yay!

    (02/01 13:02:38)Korov’ev: 1. Please *keep chatter to a minimum* while speakers are talking. The occasional comment or emote is fine, but be respectful and let the speaker finish.

    (02/01 13:02:47)Korov’ev: 2. If you have a question for a speaker, please don’t ask it directly: PM it to me. Be sure a “?” is somewhere in it to properly log the question in the queue.

    (02/01 13:03:03)Korov’ev: 3. Speakers, please indicate when you are done speaking and ready for questions, and when you’re ready for the next question.

    (02/01 13:03:17)Korov’ev: 4. If a question requires a long explanation, we may have to skip it to keep things moving. In that case, you can always PM any speaker once they’ve left the stage.

    (02/01 13:03:25)Korov’ev: 5. A summary and a chatlog of this meeting will be published in the next few days on the Guild of Messengers’ site: https://www.guildofmessengers.info/

    (02/01 13:03:35)Boywhith: ^. Don’t feed the Bahro!

    (02/01 13:03:43)Korov’ev: Of course, you can start your own chatlog with “/startlog”.

    (02/01 13:03:44)Kayara: Why?

    (02/01 13:03:55)Ro”Jethhe: You know why Kayara

    (02/01 13:04:03)Korov’ev: They get fat

    (02/01 13:04:03)CT Hostess Susa’n: Shhhh

    (02/01 13:04:11)Aristocat starts to laugh

    (02/01 13:04:11)Handyman Henry: I say why not?

    (02/01 13:04:14)Korov’ev: As you may be aware, February 8 is the 10th anniversary of the last reopening of the Cavern.

    (02/01 13:04:26)Korov’ev: (And almost 18th, if we count from the Beta)

    (02/01 13:04:37)Korov’ev: So of course, we will have a whole weekend of celebrations 😉

    (02/01 13:04:48)Korov’ev: Let’s hear about them from: Minasunda!

    (02/01 13:05:13)jtrigg: clap

    (02/01 13:05:18)Minasunda: shorah all 🙂

    (02/01 13:05:27)Ro”Jethhe: Hip Hip Hooray for Mina

    (02/01 13:05:28)Minasunda: I do not intend to give another detailed lecture on the upcoming celebrations weekend from 6th – 9th February – that means – next Thursday to Sunday

    (02/01 13:05:30)Handyman Henry: let’s break the server

    (02/01 13:05:42)Minasunda: You can all read this in the forum – it is still available to us for read. Please open the spoiler for detailed informations. Everything is described there exactly.

    (02/01 13:05:43)Ro”Jethhe says DOH!

    (02/01 13:05:57)Minasunda: http://moula10.shorah.net/

    (02/01 13:06:07)Minasunda: Thanks aqua for the short link 🙂

    (02/01 13:06:13)aqua bows

    (02/01 13:06:21)Minasunda: I just want to remind you again to register who wants to participate as a competitor in the FahionShowQuest and the DoorRunQuest.

    (02/01 13:06:32)Minasunda: If you are interested, please let us know.

    (02/01 13:06:44)Minasunda: And a other important hint for the DoorRunQuest:

    (02/01 13:06:56)Minasunda: Sometimes the gate seems broken – some don’t see symbols, others see it.

    (02/01 13:07:10)Minasunda: We have found out after extensive research that this can happens by using an internal client. Please make sure that you are logged in for the DoorRun with the standard client.

    (02/01 13:07:23)Minasunda: One more request:

    (02/01 13:07:37)Minasunda: some events are sensitive. Please avoid using an internal client and do not execute your own magic commands to avoid malfunctions, lags or crashs.

    (02/01 13:07:50)Minasunda: Thank you for your understanding :)))

    (02/01 13:07:59)Sleeper Jan: this will have to be said again

    (02/01 13:08:02)Minasunda: And now I am looking forward to an exciting and mystical celebration

    (02/01 13:08:10)Sleeper Jan: claps

    (02/01 13:08:16)Minasunda: That was all from me :)) — any questions?

    (02/01 13:08:21)Handyman Henry is happy

    (02/01 13:08:28)Korov’ev: None in queue

    (02/01 13:08:34)Minasunda bows

    (02/01 13:08:34)Korov’ev: Thank you Minasunda!

    (02/01 13:08:42)Dulcamara: Thank you Mina

    (02/01 13:08:47)Ro”Jethhe thanks you

    (02/01 13:08:48)aqua: Looking forward to it 🙂

    (02/01 13:08:58)Korov’ev: Now, one of the events of the celebration week will be, of course, the Cavern Tour!

    (02/01 13:09:05)Korov’ev: So let’s hear about it from CT Hostess Susa’n!

    (02/01 13:09:06)Boywhith: It surely will become a great event! :))

    (02/01 13:09:07)angelmyst: too bad sitting avis dont clap

    (02/01 13:09:18)Ro”Jethhe stomps his feet.

    (02/01 13:09:43)CT Hostess Susa’n: Our first Cavern Tour was a huge success with 43 participants!

    (02/01 13:09:50)Ro”Jethhe is amazed!

    (02/01 13:09:54)Dulcamara: Wow

    (02/01 13:09:55)Handyman Henry claps his feet

    (02/01 13:10:00)Sleeper Jan: well done

    (02/01 13:10:08)Aristocat is impressed

    (02/01 13:10:13)CT Hostess Susa’n: The next Cavern Tour will be Saturday, February 8, from 11:00 to 12:45 KI time.

    (02/01 13:10:53)CT Hostess Susa’n: Please meet in Cavern Tour’s Hood at 11:00 for a brief orientation. We will then link together to the tour’s destination.

    (02/01 13:10:59)CT Hostess Susa’n: Any questions?

    (02/01 13:11:21)Korov’ev: Our next question is from Alien.

    (02/01 13:11:21)Korov’ev: [Alien] Do the cavern tours go to hard to reach places like the Arch?

    (02/01 13:11:44)Handyman Henry: how do we hear about events in game if the forum is shutting down?

    (02/01 13:12:13)CT Hostess Susa’n: Yes; they do. But I do not think we visit visit the Arch. You can go the Arch by linking to Mirobot’s City and PMing “onlake” to Mirobot.

    (02/01 13:12:16)CT Hostess Susa’n: good question!

    (02/01 13:12:39)Korov’ev: Our next question is from Emor D’ni Lap.

    (02/01 13:12:40)Korov’ev: [Emor D’ni Lap] Do the tours require use of ‘bots?

    (02/01 13:12:50)Alien: Thank you Susa’n

    (02/01 13:13:30)CT Hostess Susa’n: Yes. MIrphak, who created and operates Mir-o-bot, uses Mir-o-bot to perform special effects and long-distrance travel.

    (02/01 13:13:42)CT Hostess Susa’n: MIrphak is in the audience today. 🙂

    (02/01 13:14:15)Handyman Henry bows

    (02/01 13:14:18)Korov’ev: Our next question is from Boywhith.

    (02/01 13:14:18)Korov’ev: [Boywhith] Can we hop in a bit later?

    (02/01 13:14:41)Emor D’ni Lap does not relinquish avvie control to ‘bots

    (02/01 13:14:48)CT Hostess Susa’n: Yes. If you arrive late, please PM me and I will give you instructions how to join the tour in progress.

    (02/01 13:14:49)jtrigg: you could always use the Facebook page

    (02/01 13:15:08)Boywhith: Thanks, Susa’n 🙂

    (02/01 13:15:13)Korov’ev: The forum thing will be discussed later

    (02/01 13:15:17)jtrigg: for event drtails

    (02/01 13:15:26)Handyman Henry: @trigg not on facebook

    (02/01 13:15:30)Korov’ev: Other questions?

    (02/01 13:15:32)CT Hostess Susa’n: any other questions?

    (02/01 13:15:36)jtrigg: ah ok

    (02/01 13:15:44)Korov’ev: Thank you Susa’n!

    (02/01 13:16:06)Korov’ev: And now, an update from r’Tayrtahn, aka Shokhootahn Rehn!

    (02/01 13:16:16)Dulcamara: Cool

    (02/01 13:16:22)Ro”Jethhe does a High Five

    (02/01 13:16:24)Alien hands her claps

    (02/01 13:16:30)Emor D’ni Lap applauds Rehn

    (02/01 13:16:46)shokhootahn Rehn: I have two separate announcements. One is for the D’ni Language Class and the other one is for r’Tayrtahn’s Story Night.

    (02/01 13:17:01)shokhootahn Rehn: First, the language classes…

    (02/01 13:17:25)shokhootahn Rehn: I am still putting things away and finding forever homes for everything after my recent move. As a result there will not be any daytime classes until further notice. They *should* be able to return sometime in the spring. Night time classes, however, are unaffected.

    (02/01 13:17:54)shokhootahn Rehn: There are evening classes avaible on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday nights, starting at either 20:00 KI time or 21:00 KI time, depending on the student’s schedule. Contact me by PM to set up a day and a time.

    (02/01 13:18:39)shokhootahn Rehn: As always, current students can find last-minute updates to class times on the left-hand imager.

    (02/01 13:19:06)shokhootahn Rehn: The Guild of Instructors’ Hood will be open and public unless a class is in session. I will announce the availability of daytime classes on the Hood imager when they are ready to resume.

    (02/01 13:19:33)shokhootahn Rehn: Are there any questions?

    (02/01 13:19:55)Korov’ev: None in queue

    (02/01 13:20:06)Korov’ev: wait

    (02/01 13:20:15)Korov’ev: Our next question is from Kayara.

    (02/01 13:20:15)Korov’ev: [Kayara] When is it daytime or nighttime for you?

    (02/01 13:20:54)Korov’ev: I suppose we go by KI time?

    (02/01 13:20:59)shokhootahn Rehn: Currently, it is 3:20 pm for me

    (02/01 13:21:25)Korov’ev: Our next question is from Tehlrov K’hris.

    (02/01 13:21:25)Korov’ev: [Tehlrov K’hris] Will the students in a class be in the same position in the curriculum?

    (02/01 13:21:26)Ro”Jethhe: Eastern Time Zone

    (02/01 13:22:17)shokhootahn Rehn: Availablevtimes are always expressed in KI time to avoid confusion.

    (02/01 13:22:33)Urman: i don’t belong here – i a’ll leave now – thx for the kind word

    (02/01 13:22:43)Kayara: great, thank you

    (02/01 13:22:51)Sleeper Jan: you can stay, urman

    (02/01 13:22:56)Sleeper Jan: all welcome

    (02/01 13:23:23)Korov’ev: No more questions in queue

    (02/01 13:24:18)shokhootahn Rehn: Telrov as a student or tudents begin a class, it is in a unique position with respect to other classes

    (02/01 13:25:24)shokhootahn Rehn: The second announcement is about r’Taytahn’s Story Night.

    (02/01 13:26:33)shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night – Europe is now at the same stage of the history as is original Story Night.

    (02/01 13:26:57)shokhootahn Rehn: We are continuing with the story arc of the D’ni kings. Today, and for the next 26 weeks, we will hear the stories of the kings.

    (02/01 13:27:23)shokhootahn Rehn: Next weekend will be a special Story Night – Europe. As part of the celebration of the 10th anniversary of MOULa, I will tell a special story of the Restoration. The Story will be held in Mir-o-Bot’s Baron’s Office and will not start until 14:30 KI time.

    (02/01 13:27:46)Ro”Jethhe says WOW 26 weeks that’s 6 months.

    (02/01 13:28:13)shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night is held in the public neighborhood of Tsahno’s Hood every Saturday.

    (02/01 13:28:20)Kayara: And a lot of Kings!

    (02/01 13:28:37)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.

    (02/01 13:29:01)shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night – Europe is held at 14:00 KI time on Saturday afternoon. We start gathering at the hood’s fountain starting at 13:30 KI time except for AGM Saturdays, when it starts at 14:00 KI or 30 minutes after the AGM, whichever is later.

    (02/01 13:30:30)Handyman Henry says yay!

    (02/01 13:30:55)shokhootahn Rehn: I post any changes to either of the Story Nights on the left-hand imager in the hood.

    (02/01 13:31:24)shokhootahn Rehn: Times for original Story Night (Saturdays at 23:30 KI time) are unaffected by my traveling. However, they are affected by power outages due to thunderstorms… which, unfortunately, ’tis always the season. Should this be the case, I will try to aprise one or two of my regular audience members of the situation so they can spread the news. 🙂

    (02/01 13:31:57)shokhootahn Rehn: The stories are told using voice so you will need to have your speakers or headsets on.

    (02/01 13:32:18)Grandbad checks KI … yep 13:30 now and evening.

    (02/01 13:33:07)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 so it must be added to the body of the text.

    (02/01 13:33:33)shokhootahn Rehn: YOU *MUST* INCLUDE YOUR KI NUMBER IN THE BODY OF THE MAIL TO BE ADDED!

    (02/01 13:33:48)shokhootahn Rehn: Some have sent messages to be added but have not included their KI mail so they were unable to be added.

    (02/01 13:33:50)jtrigg: no need to shout

    (02/01 13:34:19)shokhootahn Rehn: Again, Story Night – Europe will begin 30 minutes after the conclusion of today’s AGM or at 14:00 KI time, whichever is later.

    (02/01 13:34:40)shokhootahn Rehn: We hope to see you there!

    (02/01 13:34:49)Handyman Henry: ty Rehn

    (02/01 13:34:52)shokhootahn Rehn: Any questions?

    (02/01 13:35:00)Korov’ev: Thank you Rehn!

    (02/01 13:35:08)Alien sdnah reh spalc

    (02/01 13:35:16)John5: ty

    (02/01 13:35:41)shokhootahn Rehn: Oh, an I wasn’t shouting, per se. I was emphsizing. 🙂

    (02/01 13:36:02)jtrigg: I know lol

    (02/01 13:36:03)Korov’ev: Time for some Cyan news! Let’s get to *that* issue 😉

    (02/01 13:36:07)philipgr: 🙂

    (02/01 13:36:10)Korov’ev: A couple of weeks ago, Cyan announced their decision to retire a bunch of social media pages: Myst, Obduction and Firmament on Facebook; Myst, Obduction and Firmament on Twitter; Myst and Firmament on Instagram.

    (02/01 13:36:17)Boywhith: yeah!

    (02/01 13:36:22)Korov’ev: All the news will from now on come only from their main social media pages: https://www.facebook.com/CyanGames/ , https://twitter.com/cyanworlds , https://www.instagram.com/cyanworlds/

    (02/01 13:36:22)Handyman Henry: :{

    (02/01 13:36:39)Korov’ev: More controversially, Cyan also announced the retirement of the MOULa and Cyan forums.

    (02/01 13:36:51)CT Hostess Susa’n: what????

    (02/01 13:36:53)Korov’ev: On Tuesday, February 4 the forums will become read only. Registering an account for the forums will also be turned off, this is effective immediately.

    (02/01 13:36:54)BIG thumbs down from Ro”Jethhe

    (02/01 13:37:10)Korov’ev: On Tuesday, June 16, publicly-accessible threads will be archived, and the forum sites will no longer be hosted.

    (02/01 13:37:13)Boywhith: That is very bad news!!!

    (02/01 13:37:20)Korov’ev: This last point has been poorly worded in the announcement: the content of the forums will still be available IN SOME FORM, so the history of the community will be preserved, EXCEPT for the hidden threads, or personal messages.

    (02/01 13:37:23)Sleeper Jan: yep

    (02/01 13:37:23) CT Hostess Susa’n is sad

    (02/01 13:37:49)Ro”Jethhe: You can thanks Windows 10 for this.

    (02/01 13:37:56)Sleeper Jan: still wondering which one to join

    (02/01 13:37:59)jtrigg: why?

    (02/01 13:37:59)Alien: It’s not win 10

    (02/01 13:38:07)Adi: i thought they used the word )”deleted”

    (02/01 13:38:09)Korov’ev: WIn 10 has nothing to do with that

    (02/01 13:38:09)Sleeper Jan: it’s the forum engine to blame

    (02/01 13:38:15)Korov’ev: Because of this, users are encouraged to archive any PMs or specific threads they wish to keep personally before the change takes effect.

    (02/01 13:38:18)philipgr: Is discord affected as well?

    (02/01 13:38:26)Korov’ev: no

    (02/01 13:38:28)angelmyst: If this Grandma can sort our Discord, anyone can..it is quite easy, and more fluid than the forum

    (02/01 13:38:33)Korov’ev: PMs can be exported en masse as table files, and for single posts I’d suggest saving the BB code, to keep the formatting.

    (02/01 13:38:43)Korov’ev: The rationale is: Cyan has a small team, and an even smaller subset of the team is responsible for PR.

    (02/01 13:38:49)Korov’ev: Time spent managing social media is time spent NOT working on game development.

    (02/01 13:38:57)Korov’ev: So, to avoid stretching their resources, they decided to limit the number of channels they use and monitor.

    (02/01 13:39:04)Kayara: Will this also affect the Obduction Fan group? I always thought that this one was a fan-created discussion group though.

    (02/01 13:39:08)Korov’ev: Even more controversially, Cyan announced that the forums will be replaced by the Official Cyan Chat Discord server: https://discordapp.com/invite/cyanchat

    (02/01 13:39:11)Sleeper Jan: they could have asked for help but as there are other forums….

    (02/01 13:39:23)Alien: Fan made groups not affected

    (02/01 13:39:28)Korov’ev: Fan-managed groups will not be affected

    (02/01 13:39:38)Korov’ev: Many fans have expressed their objections that Discord is not a suitable replacement for a forum.

    (02/01 13:39:39)alexyna (I’m on the surface, be back in a minute):

    (02/01 13:39:42)cjherkeless is

    (02/01 13:39:48)Korov’ev: OpenUru.org, the Guild of Writers, the Guild of Archivists, the Guild of Messengers, and other fan groups have their own forums that will welcome anyone who prefer this time-tested format of discussion.

    (02/01 13:39:52)Alien: Discortd IS a forum

    (02/01 13:39:58)Alien: *Discord

    (02/01 13:40:07)cjherkeless: sorry. i didn’t mean to just assert my existence there. oops.

    (02/01 13:40:08)Korov’ev: It’s a chatroom

    (02/01 13:40:11)Korov’ev: Events will still be regularly announced as usual on Facebook groups, Discord, and through the GoMe calendar.

    (02/01 13:40:44)Alien: If you go by the origin of the word, this meeting is also a forum

    (02/01 13:41:01)Adi: a physical one 😛

    (02/01 13:41:20)Korov’ev: On Facebook, the main group is “MOULa : Anniversaries – Holiday – Events”

    (02/01 13:41:21)Lu*: almost 😛

    (02/01 13:41:37)Handyman Henry: Question to Cyan: How will they know when people can’t log in, on or have problems in-game?

    (02/01 13:41:48)Korov’ev: Our next question is from aqua.

    (02/01 13:41:48)Korov’ev: [aqua] Can a feed of the GoMe calendar be exported so that it can be imported into our own calendars, like Google Calendar etc?

    (02/01 13:42:28)Korov’ev: The GoMe calendar is based on Google, so you can add the calendar if you have an account

    (02/01 13:42:55)Korov’ev: Let me find the link…

    (02/01 13:43:31)Ro”Jethhe: urutunes.com has an event calendar but it needs updating

    (02/01 13:43:46)Korov’ev: Argh, her it is

    (02/01 13:43:50)Korov’ev: https://bit.ly/GoMe_cal

    (02/01 13:44:12)aqua: Thanks!

    (02/01 13:44:25)Korov’ev: Yep, the UruTunes calendar is missing a lot of events

    (02/01 13:44:37)aqua: (I couldnt find this on the GoMe website, might be useful to add)

    (02/01 13:45:10)Korov’ev: For troubleshooting, https://support.cyan.com/ is open again

    (02/01 13:45:30)Korov’ev: Or you can send and email to support[at]cyan.com

    (02/01 13:45:49)CT Hostess Susa’n: Handyman, you can submit a ticket to Cyan Support

    (02/01 13:46:08)Kayara: I remember vaguely that there is/was also a cyan-run website, that had all the DRC story stuff. Will that one be affected too?

    (02/01 13:46:20)Korov’ev: These days, MOULa downtime is notified mostly via Discord

    (02/01 13:46:38)Korov’ev: Our next question is from Alien.

    (02/01 13:46:38)Korov’ev: [Alien] Will Rel.to be updated? I’d be happy to help with that

    (02/01 13:46:44)J’Kla: Over the years Uru has been through way more disruption than this and survived

    (02/01 13:46:57)Eternal Seeker: asaf as i Know swifthawk don’t supports the Urutunes calendar anymore

    (02/01 13:47:19)cjherkeless: its uru. we’re explorers. we should pride ourselves, by now, on being indomitable.

    (02/01 13:47:44)Korov’ev: We’ve been working on getting Rel.to back online for a while. We’ll announce it as soon as it will 🙂

    (02/01 13:48:03)Alien: Korov’ev Let me know if I can help

    (02/01 13:48:41)angelmyst is indomitable!

    (02/01 13:48:49)Korov’ev: The DRC forum went offline some time ago, but I think some people managed to rescue a copy

    (02/01 13:48:53)Grandbad: 🙂

    (02/01 13:49:25)Korov’ev: Our next question is from CT Hostess Susa’n.

    (02/01 13:49:25)Korov’ev: [CT Hostess Susa’n] How will we know the CAVCON levels?

    (02/01 13:49:25)philipgr: The TOC forum has also been off for quite some time now.

    (02/01 13:49:35)J’Kla: There are survivors of the Ubisoft shard withdrawal and we survived that

    (02/01 13:49:53)shokhootahn Rehn: Therer’s also web.archive.org

    (02/01 13:50:25)Korov’ev: We haven’t got Cavcon updates in years.

    (02/01 13:50:35)CT Hostess Susa’n says DOH!

    (02/01 13:50:57)angelmyst: We are more informed than most small countries…lol

    (02/01 13:51:00)CT Hostess Susa’n: Everyone – Please keep donating!

    (02/01 13:51:01)Ro”Jethhe: RAWA was incharge of Cavcon wasn’t he?

    (02/01 13:51:07)Korov’ev: RAWA used to update it, and he can’t at the moment, for obvious reasons

    (02/01 13:51:22)Emor D’ni Lap would like to have a cavern-wide discussion as to how CAVCON can be made more transparent and functional

    (02/01 13:51:28)Korov’ev: Our next question is from philipgr.

    (02/01 13:51:28)Korov’ev: [philipgr] Where will the MOULa install exe file be kept for new explorers?

    (02/01 13:51:38)Handyman Henry: Type in Calendar for URU in Google…works for me

    (02/01 13:51:50)Korov’ev: The site will still be up, it’s just the forum that will be closed.

    (02/01 13:51:56)Guernseyman: i have donated $10 a month for a few years now

    (02/01 13:52:28)Korov’ev: Right, I think we should move on now 😉

    (02/01 13:52:56)Korov’ev: Submissions for art designs are open. There are four categories: T-shirt, pins, activity book, writing & artwork table. Deadlines will be staggered through early-to-mid 2020.

    (02/01 13:53:07)Korov’ev: For the T-shirts, the Triumvirate encourages you to incorporate Sirrus vs Achenar, Red vs Blue, Haven and Spire, etc. into your design. Feel free to also tie in the host city of Washington, DC.

    (02/01 13:55:46)Korov’ev wasn’t sure where to put them, but they’re interesting

    (02/01 13:55:54)Korov’ev: As you probably know by now, the Starry Expanse team is now working with Cyan to complete the Riven remake.

    (02/01 13:57:05)Korov’ev: Also,

    (02/01 13:57:08)Korov’ev: Some time ago, the MYSTAges wiki was put offline; the data has been salvaged, however, and posted on archive.org by Deledrius: https://archive.org/details/wiki-mystwikicom-20190827

    (02/01 13:57:19)Korov’ev: Alahmnat is looking into merging some of the lore info from MYSTAges into the Guild of Archivists wiki.

    (02/01 13:06:32) Minasunda: If you are interested, please let us know.
    (02/01 13:06:44) Minasunda: And a other important hint for the DoorRunQuest:
    (02/01 13:06:56) Minasunda: Sometimes the gate seems broken – some don't see symbols, others see it.
    (02/01 13:07:10) Minasunda: We have found out after extensive research that this can happens by using an internal client. Please make sure that you are logged in for the DoorRun with the standard client.
    (02/01 13:07:23) Minasunda: One more request:
    (02/01 13:07:37) Minasunda: some events are sensitive. Please avoid using an internal client and do not execute your own magic commands to avoid malfunctions, lags or crashs.
    (02/01 13:07:50) Minasunda: Thank you for your understanding :)))

    (02/01 13:12:13) CT Hostess Susa'n: Yes; they do. But I do not think we visit visit the Arch. You can go the Arch by linking to Mirobot's City and PMing "onlake" to Mirobot.
    (02/01 13:12:16) CT Hostess Susa'n: good question!
    (02/01 13:12:39) Korov'ev: Our next question is from Emor D'ni Lap.

    (02/01 13:12:50) Alien: Thank you Susa'n

    (02/01 13:17:25) shokhootahn Rehn: I am still putting things away and finding forever homes for everything after my recent move. As a result there will not be any daytime classes until further notice. They *should* be able to return sometime in the spring. Night time classes, however, are unaffected.
    (02/01 13:17:54) shokhootahn Rehn: There are evening classes avaible on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday nights, starting at either 20:00 KI time or 21:00 KI time, depending on the student's schedule. Contact me by PM to set up a day and a time.
    (02/01 13:18:39) shokhootahn Rehn: As always, current students can find last-minute updates to class times on the left-hand imager.
    (02/01 13:19:06) shokhootahn Rehn: The Guild of Instructors' Hood will be open and public unless a class is in session. I will announce the availability of daytime classes on the Hood imager when they are ready to resume.

    (02/01 13:26:57) shokhootahn Rehn: We are continuing with the story arc of the D'ni kings. Today, and for the next 26 weeks, we will hear the stories of the kings.
    (02/01 13:27:23) shokhootahn Rehn: Next weekend will be a special Story Night – Europe. As part of the celebration of the 10th anniversary of MOULa, I will tell a special story of the Restoration. The Story will be held in Mir-o-Bot's Baron's Office and will not start until 14:30 KI time.
    (02/01 13:27:46) Ro"Jethhe says WOW 26 weeks that's 6 months.
    (02/01 13:28:13) shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night is held in the public neighborhood of Tsahno's Hood every Saturday.
    (02/01 13:28:20) Kayara: And a lot of Kings!
    (02/01 13:28:37) 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.
    (02/01 13:29:01) shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night – Europe is held at 14:00 KI time on Saturday afternoon. We start gathering at the hood's fountain starting at 13:30 KI time except for AGM Saturdays, when it starts at 14:00 KI or 30 minutes after the AGM, whichever is later.
    (02/01 13:30:30) Handyman Henry says yay!
    (02/01 13:30:55) shokhootahn Rehn: I post any changes to either of the Story Nights on the left-hand imager in the hood.
    (02/01 13:31:24) shokhootahn Rehn: Times for original Story Night (Saturdays at 23:30 KI time) are unaffected by my traveling. However, they are affected by power outages due to thunderstorms… which, unfortunately, 'tis always the season. Should this be the case, I will try to aprise one or two of my regular audience members of the situation so they can spread the news. 🙂
    (02/01 13:31:57) shokhootahn Rehn: The stories are told using voice so you will need to have your speakers or headsets on.
    (02/01 13:32:18) Grandbad checks KI … yep 13:30 now and evening.
    (02/01 13:33:07) 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 so it must be added to the body of the text.
    (02/01 13:33:33) shokhootahn Rehn: YOU *MUST* INCLUDE YOUR KI NUMBER IN THE BODY OF THE MAIL TO BE ADDED!
    (02/01 13:33:48) shokhootahn Rehn: Some have sent messages to be added but have not included their KI mail so they were unable to be added.
    (02/01 13:33:50) jtrigg: no need to shout
    (02/01 13:34:19) shokhootahn Rehn: Again, Story Night – Europe will begin 30 minutes after the conclusion of today's AGM or at 14:00 KI time, whichever is later.
    (02/01 13:34:40) shokhootahn Rehn: We hope to see you there!
    (02/01 13:34:49) Handyman Henry: ty Rehn

    (02/01 13:35:45) angelmyst cheers
    (02/01 13:36:02) jtrigg: I know lol
    (02/01 13:36:03) Korov'ev: Time for some Cyan news! Let's get to *that* issue 😉
    (02/01 13:36:07) philipgr: 🙂
    (02/01 13:36:10) Korov'ev: A couple of weeks ago, Cyan announced their decision to retire a bunch of social media pages: Myst, Obduction and Firmament on Facebook; Myst, Obduction and Firmament on Twitter; Myst and Firmament on Instagram.
    (02/01 13:36:17) Boywhith: yeah!
    (02/01 13:36:22) Korov'ev: All the news will from now on come only from their main social media pages: https://www.facebook.com/CyanGames/ , https://twitter.com/cyanworlds , https://www.instagram.com/cyanworlds/
    (02/01 13:36:22) Handyman Henry: :{
    (02/01 13:36:39) Korov'ev: More controversially, Cyan also announced the retirement of the MOULa and Cyan forums.
    (02/01 13:36:51) CT Hostess Susa'n: what????
    (02/01 13:36:53) Korov'ev: On Tuesday, February 4 the forums will become read only. Registering an account for the forums will also be turned off, this is effective immediately.
    (02/01 13:36:54) BIG thumbs down from Ro"Jethhe
    (02/01 13:37:10) Korov'ev: On Tuesday, June 16, publicly-accessible threads will be archived, and the forum sites will no longer be hosted.
    (02/01 13:37:13) Boywhith: That is very bad news!!!
    (02/01 13:37:20) Korov'ev: This last point has been poorly worded in the announcement: the content of the forums will still be available IN SOME FORM, so the history of the community will be preserved, EXCEPT for the hidden threads, or personal messages.
    (02/01 13:37:23) Sleeper Jan: yep
    (02/01 13:37:23) CT Hostess Susa'n is sad
    (02/01 13:37:49) Ro"Jethhe: You can thanks Windows 10 for this.
    (02/01 13:37:56) Sleeper Jan: still wondering which one to join
    (02/01 13:37:59) jtrigg: why?
    (02/01 13:37:59) Alien: It's not win 10
    (02/01 13:38:07) Adi: i thought they used the word )"deleted"
    (02/01 13:38:09) Korov'ev: WIn 10 has nothing to do with that
    (02/01 13:38:09) Sleeper Jan: it's the forum engine to blame
    (02/01 13:38:15) Korov'ev: Because of this, users are encouraged to archive any PMs or specific threads they wish to keep personally before the change takes effect.
    (02/01 13:38:18) philipgr: Is discord affected as well?
    (02/01 13:38:26) Korov'ev: no
    (02/01 13:38:28) angelmyst: If this Grandma can sort our Discord, anyone can..it is quite easy, and more fluid than the forum
    (02/01 13:38:33) Korov'ev: PMs can be exported en masse as table files, and for single posts I'd suggest saving the BB code, to keep the formatting.
    (02/01 13:38:43) Korov'ev: The rationale is: Cyan has a small team, and an even smaller subset of the team is responsible for PR.
    (02/01 13:38:49) Korov'ev: Time spent managing social media is time spent NOT working on game development.
    (02/01 13:38:57) Korov'ev: So, to avoid stretching their resources, they decided to limit the number of channels they use and monitor.
    (02/01 13:39:04) Kayara: Will this also affect the Obduction Fan group? I always thought that this one was a fan-created discussion group though.
    (02/01 13:39:08) Korov'ev: Even more controversially, Cyan announced that the forums will be replaced by the Official Cyan Chat Discord server: https://discordapp.com/invite/cyanchat
    (02/01 13:39:11) Sleeper Jan: they could have asked for help but as there are other forums….
    (02/01 13:39:23) Alien: Fan made groups not affected
    (02/01 13:39:28) Korov'ev: Fan-managed groups will not be affected
    (02/01 13:39:38) Korov'ev: Many fans have expressed their objections that Discord is not a suitable replacement for a forum.
    (02/01 13:39:39) alexyna (I'm on the surface, be back in a minute):
    (02/01 13:39:42) cjherkeless is
    (02/01 13:39:48) Korov'ev: OpenUru.org, the Guild of Writers, the Guild of Archivists, the Guild of Messengers, and other fan groups have their own forums that will welcome anyone who prefer this time-tested format of discussion.
    (02/01 13:39:52) Alien: Discortd IS a forum
    (02/01 13:39:58) Alien: *Discord
    (02/01 13:40:07) cjherkeless: sorry. i didn't mean to just assert my existence there. oops.
    (02/01 13:40:08) Korov'ev: It's a chatroom
    (02/01 13:40:11) Korov'ev: Events will still be regularly announced as usual on Facebook groups, Discord, and through the GoMe calendar.
    (02/01 13:40:44) Alien: If you go by the origin of the word, this meeting is also a forum
    (02/01 13:41:01) Adi: a physical one 😛
    (02/01 13:41:20) Korov'ev: On Facebook, the main group is "MOULa : Anniversaries – Holiday – Events"
    (02/01 13:41:21) Lu*: almost 😛
    (02/01 13:41:37) Handyman Henry: Question to Cyan: How will they know when people can't log in, on or have problems in-game?
    (02/01 13:41:48) Korov'ev: Our next question is from aqua.
    (02/01 13:41:48) Korov'ev: [aqua] Can a feed of the GoMe calendar be exported so that it can be imported into our own calendars, like Google Calendar etc?
    (02/01 13:42:28) Korov'ev: The GoMe calendar is based on Google, so you can add the calendar if you have an account
    (02/01 13:42:55) Korov'ev: Let me find the link…
    (02/01 13:43:31) Ro"Jethhe: urutunes.com has an event calendar but it needs updating
    (02/01 13:43:46) Korov'ev: Argh, her it is
    (02/01 13:43:50) Korov'ev: https://bit.ly/GoMe_cal
    (02/01 13:44:12) aqua: Thanks!
    (02/01 13:44:25) Korov'ev: Yep, the UruTunes calendar is missing a lot of events
    (02/01 13:44:37) aqua: (I couldnt find this on the GoMe website, might be useful to add)
    (02/01 13:45:10) Korov'ev: For troubleshooting, https://support.cyan.com/ is open again
    (02/01 13:45:30) Korov'ev: Or you can send and email to support[at]cyan.com
    (02/01 13:45:49) CT Hostess Susa'n: Handyman, you can submit a ticket to Cyan Support
    (02/01 13:46:08) Kayara: I remember vaguely that there is/was also a cyan-run website, that had all the DRC story stuff. Will that one be affected too?
    (02/01 13:46:20) Korov'ev: These days, MOULa downtime is notified mostly via Discord
    (02/01 13:46:38) Korov'ev: Our next question is from Alien.
    (02/01 13:46:38) Korov'ev: [Alien] Will Rel.to be updated? I'd be happy to help with that
    (02/01 13:46:44) J'Kla: Over the years Uru has been through way more disruption than this and survived
    (02/01 13:46:57) Eternal Seeker: asaf as i Know swifthawk don't supports the Urutunes calendar anymore
    (02/01 13:47:19) cjherkeless: its uru. we're explorers. we should pride ourselves, by now, on being indomitable.
    (02/01 13:47:44) Korov'ev: We've been working on getting Rel.to back online for a while. We'll announce it as soon as it will 🙂
    (02/01 13:48:03) Alien: Korov'ev Let me know if I can help
    (02/01 13:48:41) angelmyst is indomitable!
    (02/01 13:48:49) Korov'ev: The DRC forum went offline some time ago, but I think some people managed to rescue a copy
    (02/01 13:48:53) Grandbad: 🙂
    (02/01 13:49:25) Korov'ev: Our next question is from CT Hostess Susa'n.
    (02/01 13:49:25) Korov'ev: [CT Hostess Susa'n] How will we know the CAVCON levels?
    (02/01 13:49:25) philipgr: The TOC forum has also been off for quite some time now.
    (02/01 13:49:35) J'Kla: There are survivors of the Ubisoft shard withdrawal and we survived that
    (02/01 13:49:53) shokhootahn Rehn: Therer's also web.archive.org
    (02/01 13:50:25) Korov'ev: We haven't got Cavcon updates in years.
    (02/01 13:50:35) CT Hostess Susa'n says DOH!
    (02/01 13:50:57) angelmyst: We are more informed than most small countries…lol
    (02/01 13:51:00) CT Hostess Susa'n: Everyone – Please keep donating!
    (02/01 13:51:01) Ro"Jethhe: RAWA was incharge of Cavcon wasn't he?
    (02/01 13:51:07) Korov'ev: RAWA used to update it, and he can't at the moment, for obvious reasons
    (02/01 13:51:22) Emor D'ni Lap would like to have a cavern-wide discussion as to how CAVCON can be made more transparent and functional
    (02/01 13:51:28) Korov'ev: Our next question is from philipgr.
    (02/01 13:51:28) Korov'ev: [philipgr] Where will the MOULa install exe file be kept for new explorers?
    (02/01 13:51:38) Handyman Henry: Type in Calendar for URU in Google…works for me
    (02/01 13:51:50) Korov'ev: The site will still be up, it's just the forum that will be closed.
    (02/01 13:51:56) Guernseyman: i have donated $10 a month for a few years now

    (02/01 13:55:40) Korov'ev: And now, some assorted short news and interesting links…
    (02/01 13:55:46) Korov'ev wasn't sure where to put them, but they're interesting
    (02/01 13:55:54) Korov'ev: As you probably know by now, the Starry Expanse team is now working with Cyan to complete the Riven remake.

    (02/01 13:57:08) Korov'ev: Some time ago, the MYSTAges wiki was put offline; the data has been salvaged, however, and posted on archive.org by Deledrius: https://archive.org/details/wiki-mystwikicom-20190827
    (02/01 13:57:19) Korov'ev: Alahmnat is looking into merging some of the lore info from MYSTAges into the Guild of Archivists wiki.

  • January 2020 All Guilds Meeting Summary

    2020 has arrived…and with it, the first All Guilds Meeting of the year! Here are the usual raw and cleansed chatlogs.

    Here’s what happened:

    Cavern Tours

    CT Hostess Susa’n and Mirphak were first to the stage to announce a new round of Cavern Tours. The first tour will be on January 11th, 2020 starting at 11:00 KI time and ending around 13:00 KI time, with each tour taking place on the second Saturday of each month after that.

    For more information visit the thread over on the Myst Online forums.

    OpenUru

    rarified came up next to talk about fan content testing. Doobes’ Guild of Messengers Pub is now working sufficiently. However, his fan library Age, Timel Korvahkh (formerly Chiso Preniv) is causing the client to crash. His goal is to find and fix the bug.

    It was also mentioned that Doobes would be taking on admin duties for Minkata in the near future.

    The Ages of Doobes

    Doobes updated everyone on his own projects. While rarified figures out what’s causing the Minkata crash, Doobes plans to release the three planned Ages on to other shards, including Gehn Shard, The Open Cave, and Deep Island.

    All three Ages (the GoMe Pub, Timel Korvahkh, and Veelay Tsahvahn) will be the first public releases to be exported by Korman and will eventually be available for both online and offline play. He’s hoping to release them before or around the upcoming tenth anniversary of MOULa and eighth anniversary of Gehn Shard next month.

    For more on Doobes’ Ages, visit his site and Facebook page.

    MOULa Tenth Anniversary Celebrations

    Speaking of MOULa’s anniversary, Minasunda described the upcoming festivities, which are planned to take place between February 6th through the 9th.

    D’ni Language Classes

    shokhootahn Rehn had two items of business, the first being D’ni Language Classes.

    Now that the holiday break is over, classes will be back in session. There are available times on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays starting at 20:00 KI time.

    For more information, visit the Guild of Instructors’ Hood and check the posts on the imager to the left of the Link in area. If they’re online, you can also contact Magic Bot (#27527) or Mimi Bot (#71459) and PM advert.

    Story Night

    r’Tayrtahn’s Story Night continues through the stories of the D’ni Kings, from Ri’neref to Kerath.

    The stories are hosted every Saturday night at 23:30 KI time (with people starting to gather around 23:00).

    For European explorers, Story Night takes place on Saturday at 14:00 KI time…unless there’s an All Guilds Meeting, in which case the story will take place after the AGM.

    As always, gather in Tsahno’s Hood beforehand and be sure to have voice chat enabled.

    And that’s all for this month! The next All Guilds Meeting will be on February 1st at 13:00 KI time in Kirel!

  • All Guilds Meeting – January 2020 – Cleansed Chatlog

    (01/04 13:00:48)Doobes: OK, let’s get started!

    (01/04 13:00:48)Doobes: Shorah and welcome to the 117th All Guilds Meeting and the first of 2020!

    (01/04 13:00:48)Doobes: I am your substitute teacher…er, host…Doobes, filling in for Korov’ev while he’s traveling.

    (01/04 13:00:48)Doobes: Today is *checks and squints at Kor’s notes* Leevosahn 3, 9675, at 3:00:20:12 (give or take).

    (01/04 13:00:48)Doobes: I hope the new year has started off well for everyone. We’ve got a few items of news to get to, but first, the usual ground rules to keep things running smoothly:

    (01/04 13:00:48)Doobes: 1. Please *keep chatter to a minimum* while speakers are talking. The occasional comment or emote is fine, but be respectful and let the speaker finish.

    (01/04 13:00:48)Doobes: 2. If you have a question for a speaker, please don

    (01/04 13:00:48)Doobes: Oops.

    (01/04 13:02:56)Doobes: 2. If you have a question for a speaker, please don’t ask it directly: PM it to me. Be sure a

    (01/04 13:02:56)Doobes: Ugh…this is what I get for copy/pasting. 😛

    (01/04 13:02:56)Doobes: Be sure a ? is somewhere in the question for it to register in the queue.

    (01/04 13:02:56)Doobes: 3. Speakers, please indicate when you are done speaking and ready for questions, and when you’re ready for the next question.

    (01/04 13:02:56)Doobes: 4. If a question requires a long explanation, we may have to skip it to keep things moving. In that case, you can always PM any speaker once they’ve left the stage.

    (01/04 13:02:56)Doobes: 5. A summary and a chatlog of the Meeting will be published in the next few days on the Guild of Messengers' site: https://www.guildofmessengers.info/

    (01/04 13:02:56)Doobes: Now with that out of the way, let’s turn things over to CT Hostess Susa’n to talk about the Cavern Tours!

    (01/04 13:05:04)CT Hostess Susa’n: !Shorah b’shemtee

    (01/04 13:05:04)CT Hostess Susa’n: copy/paste is not working 😛

    (01/04 13:05:04)Doobes: No, was just the wrong type of apostrophe, if you can believe it. 😉

    (01/04 13:05:04)Emor D’ni Lap: ctrl-v!

    (01/04 13:05:04)CT Hostess Susa’n: Larry LeDeay, Mirphak “Mir-o-Bot” and I are pleased to announce the return of CAVERN TOURS!

    (01/04 13:05:04)CT Hostess Susa’n: Cavern Tours are a series of walking tours that cover every age in MOULa.

    (01/04 13:05:04)CT Hostess Susa’n: The tour guides speaking in character about D’ni and D’ni restoration history, the functions and purposes of the building and machinery in each age, and the flora and fauna in each age.

    (01/04 13:07:12)CT Hostess Susa’n: Because the tours take place in private instances, we take you to locations you cannot reach during normal game-play.

    (01/04 13:07:12)CT Hostess Susa’n: The tours will take place the second Saturday of each month, beginning January 11, 2020, from 11:00 to 13:00 KI time.

    (01/04 13:07:12)CT Hostess Susa’n: That’s next Saturday, folks!

    (01/04 13:07:12)CT Hostess Susa’n: We will meet in Cavern Tour’s Hood for a brief orientation, then link together to the age we will visit that day.

    (01/04 13:07:12)CT Hostess Susa’n: If you are interested in participating in the tours, please PM me and I will add you to my Buddies list.

    (01/04 13:07:12)CT Hostess Susa’n: You should add me to yours, as well.

    (01/04 13:07:12)CT Hostess Susa’n: For more information, please visit Larry’s excellent “The Lost Library of D’ni” website

    (01/04 13:09:20)CT Hostess Susa’n: http://www.florestica.com/hpotd/caverntour/.

    (01/04 13:09:20)CT Hostess Susa’n: In addition, I will post monthly updates in the MOULa forums under Events/Cavern Tours 2020!

    (01/04 13:09:20)CT Hostess Susa’n: Any questions?

    (01/04 13:09:20)CT Hostess Susa’n: no questions?

    (01/04 13:09:20)Boywhith: Is it possible to do the tour one hour later?

    (01/04 13:09:20)Doobes: Sorry, just a sec…

    (01/04 13:09:20)CT Hostess Susa’n: I am very sorry

    (01/04 13:09:20)Doobes: There’s some in the queue too. 😉

    (01/04 13:09:20)etelka: are the tours with text or voice

    (01/04 13:09:20)CT Hostess Susa’n: we chose 11:00-13:00 so as not to interfere with r’Tay’s Story Night at 14:00 on Saturdays

    (01/04 13:11:28)CT Hostess Susa’n: we will use voice chat

    (01/04 13:11:28)Doobes: People, please PM questions to me. I *will* ask them for you.

    (01/04 13:11:28)Boywhith: Pity… A bit nasty for Europeans.

    (01/04 13:11:28)CT Hostess Susa’n: so make sure you check “Enable Voice Chat” in the Audio Settings

    (01/04 13:11:28)Doobes: Our next question is from Theo.

    (01/04 13:11:28)Doobes: [Theo] What about a provision for people to join halfway through at noon?

    (01/04 13:11:28)CT Hostess Susa’n: add me to your Buddies list, then PM me. I will guide you how to join the tour in progress.

    (01/04 13:11:28)Doobes: Our next question is from philipgr.

    (01/04 13:11:28)Doobes: [philipgr] Can you pse ask CT that if the y use the bot to please let everyone know what commands to use by typing them out. I recently had an experience where this did not happen?

    (01/04 13:11:28)CT Hostess Susa’n: we will instruct you how to use Mir-o-Bot

    (01/04 13:13:36)philipgr: Thank you

    (01/04 13:13:36)CT Hostess Susa’n: the three primary commands will be “Link” “w” and “find Larry”

    (01/04 13:13:36)Doobes: westar, the queue “ate” your question. Go ahead.

    (01/04 13:13:36)westar: will there be play time at the end of the tour like previously?

    (01/04 13:13:36)CT Hostess Susa’n: if Mirphak has time that Saturday, he will be happy to provide play time 😀

    (01/04 13:13:36)westar: ok

    (01/04 13:13:36)Doobes: Any other questions?

    (01/04 13:13:36)CT Hostess Susa’n: by the way, Mirphak is Mir-o-Bot’s maker and operator

    (01/04 13:13:36)CT Hostess Susa’n: please give him a hand!

    (01/04 13:13:36)Doobes: One more from ChrisKB.

    (01/04 13:15:44)ChrisKB: Just to confirm, we can join in the middle of the tour, right?

    (01/04 13:15:44)CT Hostess Susa’n: yes, you may join the tour in progress

    (01/04 13:15:44)CT Hostess Susa’n: each tour will take approximately 2 hours

    (01/04 13:15:44)CT Hostess Susa’n: any other questions?

    (01/04 13:15:44)Doobes: None in the queue.

    (01/04 13:15:44)Doobes: Thank you both!

    (01/04 13:15:44)CT Hostess Susa’n: a buddy reminded me …

    (01/04 13:15:44)CT Hostess Susa’n: for those new to this game, we do try to avoid spoilers

    (01/04 13:15:44)CT Hostess Susa’n: but a few spoilers may slip through

    (01/04 13:15:44)CT Hostess Susa’n: see you at the tours!!!!!

    (01/04 13:15:44)Doobes: So already a bit of technical difficulty. Hooray!

    (01/04 13:17:52)Doobes: 😛

    (01/04 13:17:52)Doobes: For those of you that don’t know, last month was “Lexember”, a social media event where people create new words across the entire month of December.

    (01/04 13:17:52)Doobes: Cyan participated this year and posted a ton of new (and a few familiar) D’ni words!

    (01/04 13:17:52)Doobes: If you’d like to extend your D’ni vocabulary, a list of the words released for Lexember has been gathered here:

    (01/04 13:17:52)Doobes: https://archive.guildofarchivists.org/wiki/Reference:Lexember_2019

    (01/04 13:17:52)Doobes: Next up, we have rarified from OpenUru.org!

    (01/04 13:17:52)rarified: Shorah, and Happy New Year everyone!

    (01/04 13:17:52)Mirphak: hi rarified, happy new year

    (01/04 13:17:52)rarified: Thiis will be brief, I haven’t taken much time to make a presentation.

    (01/04 13:20:00)rarified: Last month Doobes and I got up here with a great deal of enthusiasm about Fan content.

    (01/04 13:20:00)rarified: That has been my primary focus last month, on Minkata.

    (01/04 13:20:00)rarified: At our last meeting, we announce we were able to load and visit some very simple test ages,

    (01/04 13:20:00)rarified: which shows we now have a path on incorporating ages into the Minkata servers.

    (01/04 13:20:00)rarified: Since then, we have been able to load a couple of versions of Doobes’ GuildOfMessengersPub age

    (01/04 13:22:08)rarified: successfully, and it appears to be working as well.

    (01/04 13:22:08)Doobes: 😀

    (01/04 13:22:08)rarified: With that under our belt, we are now in the process of debugging some issues with

    (01/04 13:22:08)rarified: Doobes’ most complex age I’ve seen, ChisoPreniv otherwise known as a fan library age.,

    (01/04 13:22:08)rarified: This age has tickled a bug somewhere that has been challenging to locate.

    (01/04 13:22:08)rarified: It even may be that the compilers used to build the client are making errors when

    (01/04 13:22:08)rarified: building tthe client that make it behave incorrectly.

    (01/04 13:24:16)rarified: So it is taking a bit of time to chase down. But if you count the number of times

    (01/04 13:24:16)rarified: I’ve started the client, placed breakpoints in machine code, run to the breakpoint and then

    (01/04 13:24:16)rarified: have the client crash again, you can count that as progress 😉

    (01/04 13:24:16)rarified: So that is underway… In other news…

    (01/04 13:24:16)Doobes: It’s not work in my eyes unless I break something. Hehehe.

    (01/04 13:24:16)Ahno: controlled crash is better than uncontrolled

    (01/04 13:24:16)rarified: Doobes here has answered the call for volunteering to learn how to help run Minkata’s

    (01/04 13:24:16)rarified: servers and speed the turn around time when ages are under development.

    (01/04 13:26:24)Lari’el: Break(point) all the things!

    (01/04 13:26:24)Sleeper Jan: been a moment since i was there

    (01/04 13:26:24)rarified: While I haven’t had time yet to pair up with him on a session, I’m working on

    (01/04 13:26:24)rarified: setting up a means that he can both watch what I’m doing, and then have access to

    (01/04 13:26:24)rarified: do those things himself. I’m looking forward to decreasing the number of

    (01/04 13:26:24)rarified: interrupts per second my aging neurons need to handle.

    (01/04 13:26:24)Doobes: Hehehe.

    (01/04 13:26:24)rarified: So, with that, I’ve covered all the Minkata status at the moment.

    (01/04 13:26:24)rarified: We don’t yet have a more concrete timetable for when things can move closer to

    (01/04 13:26:24)Muffington Maniac: Yay

    (01/04 13:28:32)rarified: MOULa, but it’s coming. The odometer is running.

    (01/04 13:28:32)rarified: Questions?

    (01/04 13:28:32)Doobes: Oops, sorry. PM and another queue weirdness.

    (01/04 13:28:32)Doobes: Any questions for rarified I may have lost? 😛

    (01/04 13:28:32)Doobes: I guess Kor has chat problems, I get queue problems. Hehehe.

    (01/04 13:28:32)rarified: Quantum tunnelling.

    (01/04 13:28:32)CT Hostess Susa’n: blame the Bahro

    (01/04 13:28:32)Doobes: Again, if you don’t get to your question, you can always PM the speaker once they leave the stage.

    (01/04 13:28:32)rarified: Ok, thanks everyone.

    (01/04 13:28:32)Doobes: Thank you rarified!

    (01/04 13:30:40)Doobes: We’re moving at a brisk pace and my client is misbehaving…but we soldier on!

    (01/04 13:30:40)Doobes: So there was another speaker I wanted to introduce, but coming back to moderating has frazzled my brain.

    (01/04 13:30:40)Doobes: Ugh, who was it? It was some guy. Always droning on about stuff….

    (01/04 13:30:40)Doobes: Oh yeah! It’s ME. 😛

    (01/04 13:30:40)philipgr: lol

    (01/04 13:30:40)Sleeper Jan: lol

    (01/04 13:30:40)rarified: You’re older than you were at the beginning off the meeting.

    (01/04 13:30:40)Doobes: As rarified said, development continues on getting fan Ages into MOULa. Unfortunately, due to the holidays and the aforementioned bug, work has slowed for the last couple of weeks.
    (01/04 13:30:40)Doobes: Before that though, Hoikas has written some amazing code to help Minkata(-alpha). Basically, a few things just need to be implemented.

    (01/04 13:30:40)Doobes: So while we’re waiting, I’ve decided to do the next best thing and release the content on other shards, which includes Gehn Shard, The Open Cave, and Deep Island!

    (01/04 13:32:48)ChrisKB: ooh aah

    (01/04 13:32:48)Doobes: This will include the new(-ish) Guild of Messengers Pub (or Tavern as Nev’yn likes to call it), the fan library Timel Korvahkh (formerly Chiso Preniv), and Veelay Tsahvahn, the Memorial Age.

    (01/04 13:32:48)philipgr: Nice 🙂

    (01/04 13:32:48)Doobes: This will be the first official release for Timel and Veelay, and for the Pub, it’s first release on Deep Island and for offline URU. They will also be the first Ages released exported natively by Korman!

    (01/04 13:32:48)Doobes: I’m hoping to get everything ready in time for the MOULa tenth anniversary next month, but many forces must align for that to happen, including our magnificent shard admins to get some time on their end, so it *might* be a bit of a tapered release. 🙂

    (01/04 13:32:48)Doobes: As for Minkata and MOULa getting these Ages, I promise to do what I can to keep that ball rolling by working with any and all programmers, as is the spirit of open source.

    (01/04 13:32:48)rarified: When is it? DD/MM/YY HH:SS:ms?

    (01/04 13:32:48)Doobes: And of course, learn to keep the Minkata shard up and running to take some of the pressure off rarified. 😉

    (01/04 13:34:56)Doobes: The patented “sooooooon”, rarified. 😀

    (01/04 13:34:56)Sleeper Jan: lol

    (01/04 13:34:56)rarified: I don’t want to hear about “rarified time” 😛

    (01/04 13:34:56)philipgr: lol

    (01/04 13:34:56)Sleeper Jan: rofl

    (01/04 13:34:56)Doobes: So aside from a solid release date (which there isn’t one) any other questions?

    (01/04 13:34:56)Sleeper Jan: avoid rarified food then

    (01/04 13:34:56)Ro”Jethhe: picky picky picky you are Rabbit

    (01/04 13:34:56)Claidi Song: And, rarified air.
    (01/04 13:34:56)Doobes: Yes, we have been harassing rarified far too much lately. Still, it’s made progress. 🙂

    (01/04 13:34:56)Muffington Maniac: Avoid Rarified anything

    (01/04 13:34:56)Ahno: rarifeed food

    (01/04 13:34:56)rarified: We get that at 7000 feet *wheeze*

    (01/04 13:34:56)Doobes: Our next question is from ChrisKB.

    (01/04 13:34:56)Doobes: [ChrisKB] Is this the same Guild of Messengers Pub that’s on Gehn Shard?

    (01/04 13:34:56)FIREMAGE3000: wheel-bahro puns

    (01/04 13:34:56)Doobes: Yes and no. It’ll be an upgraded version of the Pub…with better lighting and shiny, shiny floors. 🙂

    (01/04 13:34:56)Doobes: Basically to show of Korman’s abilities.

    (01/04 13:37:04)ChrisKB: okay!

    (01/04 13:37:04)rarified: The Korman “wax on wax off” feature.

    (01/04 13:37:04)Doobes: DCMs are lovely. 🙂

    (01/04 13:37:04)Doobes: Any other questions?

    (01/04 13:37:04)FIREMAGE3000: korman the janitor?

    (01/04 13:37:04)Doobes: Also, for those having lag, I know it’s lame…but you can look at the floor. It can help sometimes.

    (01/04 13:37:04)Doobes: Korman the Blender plugin. It’s awesome. 😉

    (01/04 13:37:04)Doobes: On that note, that’s in for my stuff. Up next, we have Minasunda!

    (01/04 13:37:04)Minasunda: shorah 🙂

    (01/04 13:37:04)Ahno: frustum cullling

    (01/04 13:37:04)Minasunda: The 10th anniversary of MOULa is just around the corner. We expect to celebrate from February 6th to February 9th.

    (01/04 13:37:04)Minasunda: In the forum you will find the preliminary event plan which will be updated regularly. Please keep up to date.

    (01/04 13:39:12)Minasunda: https://mystonline.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=29231

    (01/04 13:39:12)Minasunda: So far the following events are on the plan:

    (01/04 13:39:12)Minasunda: Thursday: Opening ceremony with Ghaelen, Country Evening with Eternal Seeker, Dance party in Gahreesen with HodHopper

    (01/04 13:39:12)Minasunda: Friday: DoorRun Quest with Eternal Seeker (If there are not at least 3 teams, the event will not take place), Fil Live Music in Eder Gira,

    (01/04 13:39:12)Minasunda: Saturday: Cavern tour with Larry, Nulp Dance Show in Great Zero, Story Night Special with r’Tayrtahn, Karaoke

    (01/04 13:39:12)Minasunda: Sunday: Fashion quest with Minasunda, Memorial with Ghaelen, Magic closing event with Yoda

    (01/04 13:39:12)Minasunda: Registration for the DoorRunQuest and FashionQuest participants is required.

    (01/04 13:39:12)Minasunda: (Only for the competition participants, not for the spectators)

    (01/04 13:39:12)Minasunda: And a magic dance is planned for the magic closing event (like a flash mob). If you would like to participate, you must also register.

    (01/04 13:39:12)Minasunda: Don’t worry, it doesn’t hurt and no prerequisites are necessary. 😛 😀 😀

    (01/04 13:41:20)Minasunda: Please register as soon as possible, but not later than 3 days before the event.

    (01/04 13:41:20)Minasunda: You have different options to register (with name and KI number)

    (01/04 13:41:20)Minasunda: – via KI mail to Eternal Seeker KI 254640 or Minasunda KI 5667000

    (01/04 13:41:20)Minasunda: – on Facebook Page “MOULa : Anniversaries – Holiday – Events” https://www.facebook.com/groups/1816103321947856/

    (01/04 13:41:20)Minasunda: – in the forum: https://mystonline.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=29231

    (01/04 13:41:20)Minasunda: You can find detailed information about the two quests too in the forum. Please read the spoilers.

    (01/04 13:41:20)Minasunda: You can put together a team or you can register as a lone fighter, then Seeker will assign you to a team. It is of course better to look for a team yourself.

    (01/04 13:41:20)Minasunda: sorry Seeker 😛

    (01/04 13:41:20)Minasunda: The number of members of the team is not mandatory. So it is quite possible to form a team of 6 or 7 or 2 ;)))

    (01/04 13:41:20)Minasunda: For the DoorRunQuest the Tsogals are selected at random and a different one for each team. So everyone has the same conditions.

    (01/04 13:43:28)Minasunda: So build teams and start training. :)))

    (01/04 13:43:28)Minasunda: Don’t forget to register. We hope for numerous participants.

    (01/04 13:43:28)Minasunda: Thats all 🙂 Any questions?

    (01/04 13:43:28)Sleeper Jan: grabs rabbit arm

    (01/04 13:43:28)Sleeper Jan: raises it

    (01/04 13:43:28)Minasunda: nothing ?

    (01/04 13:43:28)Ahno: door run event is a ‘best time’ game

    (01/04 13:43:28)Doobes: No questions in the queue. Any from the audience?

    (01/04 13:43:28)Minasunda: no ? Thank you 🙂

    (01/04 13:43:28)Rabbit: excuse me Jan????

    (01/04 13:43:28)Eternal Seeker: sure Ahno

    (01/04 13:43:28)CT Hostess Susa’n: does the door run time end when we all run thru the door?

    (01/04 13:43:28)Rabbit: what am I raising my arm for?

    (01/04 13:43:28)Minasunda: yes

    (01/04 13:45:36)Sleeper Jan: rabbit joins the door runs

    (01/04 13:45:36)CT Hostess Susa’n: or when the door opens?

    (01/04 13:45:36)Rabbit: uh … I do???

    (01/04 13:45:36)Doobes: OK, so we DO have questions. 🙂

    (01/04 13:45:36)Minasunda: when the door is open completly

    (01/04 13:45:36)CT Hostess Susa’n: thanks!

    (01/04 13:45:36)Doobes: Rabbit, what was your question?

    (01/04 13:45:36)ChrisKB: How will it be timed?

    (01/04 13:45:36)Minasunda: with a clock ?

    (01/04 13:45:36)Boywhith: By a D’ni clock, of course!

    (01/04 13:45:36)radioflux: If the Tsogals are different per team, then the conditions are NOT the same, I assume?

    (01/04 13:45:36)Ahno: photo sensor at the bottom of the door .D

    (01/04 13:45:36)Ahno: 😀

    (01/04 13:45:36)CT Hostess Susa’n: she does not want us to know the cloth numbers in advance

    (01/04 13:45:36)Doobes: OK, again…if your question didn’t get through, please feel free to PM the speaker. Hehehe.

    (01/04 13:45:36)Boywhith: Good point from Radioflux…

    (01/04 13:45:36)Doobes: So I mentioned Lexember earlier…and speaking of the D’ni language, let’s hear from Shokhooktahn Rehn! 😀

    (01/04 13:45:36)Minasunda: thans Susasn thats correct

    (01/04 13:47:44)Emor D’ni Lap: yay Rehn!

    (01/04 13:47:44)Minasunda: the referee stops the time with the stopwatch – there is no other way

    (01/04 13:47:44)shokhootahn Rehn: I have two separate announcements. One is for the D’ni Language Class and the other one is for r’Tayrtahn’s Story Night.

    (01/04 13:47:44)shokhootahn Rehn: First, the language classes…

    (01/04 13:47:44)shokhootahn Rehn: Classes are back in session after the holiday break.

    (01/04 13:47:44)shokhootahn Rehn: As always, current students can find last-minute updates to class times on the left-hand imager.

    (01/04 13:47:44)shokhootahn Rehn: Also, I use Magic Bot’s (KI #27527) advertisements (when he’s on) to announce last-minute changes to class times.

    (01/04 13:49:52)shokhootahn Rehn: You can get those advertisements by adding him as a buddy and then sending him a PM with the word: advert

    (01/04 13:49:52)Ro”Jethhe: Magic Bot is MOI

    (01/04 13:49:52)shokhootahn Rehn: If Magic Bot is not on-line, you can also PM Mimi Bot (KI #71459) the word, as well.

    (01/04 13:49:52)Ro”Jethhe: MIA

    (01/04 13:49:52)Eternal Seeker: Magic bot is offline since more than a year

    (01/04 13:49:52)shokhootahn Rehn: There are evening classes avaible on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday nights, starting at either 20:00 KI time or 21:00 KI time, depending on the student’s schedule.

    (01/04 13:49:52)Ro”Jethhe: R.I.P.

    (01/04 13:49:52)Doobes: Shh. We’ll get to that, folks. Let him finish.

    (01/04 13:49:52)shokhootahn Rehn: Are there any questions?

    (01/04 13:49:52)Doobes: I suppose the obvious would be if no bots are available, how would one be able to get this info.

    (01/04 13:49:52)Doobes: ?

    (01/04 13:49:52)Doobes: *are not available

    (01/04 13:52:00)PodHopper: guild of messengers agenda

    (01/04 13:52:00)Doobes: Uh oh…Rehn?

    (01/04 13:52:00)Muffington Maniac: I can hear a pin drop

    (01/04 13:52:00)PodHopper: mic test?

    (01/04 13:52:00)shokhootahn Rehn: Good question. Look at the hood imager for updates

    (01/04 13:52:00)Doobes: Er, which hood would that be again? 😉

    (01/04 13:54:08)Doobes: (just for clarity)

    (01/04 13:54:08)shokhootahn Rehn: Sorry for the slow responsse. Bad keyboard.

    (01/04 13:54:08)Doobes: No problem. Just glad you didn’t crash.

    (01/04 13:54:08)shokhootahn Rehn: uild of Istructors’ Hood

    (01/04 13:54:08)Doobes: Excellent.

    (01/04 13:54:08)shokhootahn Rehn: *Guild

    (01/04 13:54:08)Emor D’ni Lap: Baaaaaad keyboard

    (01/04 13:54:08)Doobes: Our next question is from FIREMAGE3000.

    (01/04 13:54:08)Doobes: [FIREMAGE3000] How do i join?

    (01/04 13:54:08)CT Hostess Susa’n: Guild of Instructor’s Hood

    (01/04 13:54:08)Ahno: guess next questions answer will be guild of instructors hood 🙂

    (01/04 13:56:16)CT Hostess Susa’n: PM shok Rehn after he’s finished speaking

    (01/04 13:56:16)shokhootahn Rehn: Sorry, the Guild is not open for membership, only for instruction.

    (01/04 13:56:16)Emor D’ni Lap: In Language

    (01/04 13:56:16)FIREMAGE3000: good to

    (01/04 13:56:16)FIREMAGE3000: know

    (01/04 13:56:16)Doobes: So yeah, come to learn, not to teach. 😉

    (01/04 13:56:16)shokhootahn Rehn: Are there any other questions?

    (01/04 13:56:16)Doobes: No more questions in the queue.

    (01/04 13:56:16)Doobes: For the sake of your poor keyboard, shall we continue to the next item? 🙂

    (01/04 13:56:16)shokhootahn Rehn: The second announcement is about r’Taytahn’s Story Night.

    (01/04 13:58:24)shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night – Europe is now at the same stage of the history as is original Story Night.

    (01/04 13:58:24)shokhootahn Rehn: We are continuing with the story arc of the D’ni kings. Today, and for the next 30 weeks, we will hear the stories of the kings.

    (01/04 13:58:24)shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night is held in the public neighborhood of Tsahno’s Hood every Saturday.

    (01/04 13:58:24)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.

    (01/04 13:58:24)shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night – Europe is held at 14:00 KI time on Saturday afternoon. We start gathering at the hood’s fountain starting at 13:30 KI time except for AGM Saturdays, when it starts at 14:00 KI or 30 minutes after the AGM, whichever is later. Again, I use Magic Bot to advertise changes to Story Night times for both Europe and original.

    (01/04 14:00:32)shokhootahn Rehn: … or iit the hood to look at the imager

    (01/04 14:00:32)shokhootahn Rehn: *look at

    (01/04 14:00:32)shokhootahn Rehn: Times for original Story Night (Saturdays at 23:30 KI time) are unaffected by my traveling. However, they are affected by power outages due to thunderstorms… which, unfortunately, ’tis always the season. Should this be the case, I will try to aprise one or two of my regular audience members of the situation so they can spread the news. 🙂

    (01/04 14:00:32)Woolie: hey theo!!!

    (01/04 14:00:32)shokhootahn Rehn: The stories are told using voice so you will need to have your speakers or headsets on.

    (01/04 14:00:32)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 so it must be added to the body of the text.

    (01/04 14:00:32)shokhootahn Rehn: YOU *MUST* INCLUDE YOUR KI NUMBER IN THE BODY OF THE MAIL TO BE ADDED!

    (01/04 14:02:40)Doobes: Otherwise, it’s like sending mail with no return address. 😉

    (01/04 14:02:40)shokhootahn Rehn: Exactly!

    (01/04 14:02:40)shokhootahn Rehn: Some have sent messages to be added but have not included their KI mail so they were unable to be added.

    (01/04 14:02:40)shokhootahn Rehn: Also, I use Magic Bot’s (KI #27527) advertisements to announce last-minute changes to Story Night times.

    (01/04 14:02:40)shokhootahn Rehn: Again, Story Night – Europe will begin 30 minutes after the conclusion of today’s AGM or at 14:00 KI time, whichever is later.

    (01/04 14:02:40)shokhootahn Rehn: We hope to see you there!

    (01/04 14:02:40)shokhootahn Rehn: Any questions?

    (01/04 14:02:40)Doobes: None in the queue. Any questions about D’ni Language classes or Story Night?

    (01/04 14:02:40)Boywhith: vreemd… al het andere doet het wel qua geluid en alle schuifjes lijken ook goed te staan…

    (01/04 14:02:40)Boywhith: ooops…

    (01/04 14:02:40)shokhootahn Rehn: lol

    (01/04 14:04:48)Doobes: Our next question is from ChrisKB.

    (01/04 14:04:48)Doobes: [ChrisKB] Can we take the classes more than once?

    (01/04 14:04:48)shokhootahn Rehn: Yes

    (01/04 14:04:48)ChrisKB: Yaay 🙂

    (01/04 14:04:48)Doobes: Any other questions?

    (01/04 14:04:48)Doobes: OK! Thank you Rehn!

    (01/04 14:04:48)Doobes: I must apologize for the glitchiness of this meeting. I know Kor makes things look easy, but believe me, it’s not…especially when you haven’t done it in awhile. XD

    (01/04 14:04:48)Doobes: To close out the meeting, I have a handy list of events for you!

  • All Guilds Meeting – January 2020 – Raw Chatlog

    (01/04 13:00:48) Doobes: OK, let's get started!
    (01/04 13:00:48) Doobes: Shorah and welcome to the 117th All Guilds Meeting and the first of 2020!
    (01/04 13:00:48) Doobes: I am your substitute teacher…er, host…Doobes, filling in for Korov'ev while he's traveling.
    (01/04 13:00:48) Mirphak: Shorah all
    (01/04 13:00:48) Doobes: Today is *checks and squints at Kor's notes* Leevosahn 3, 9675, at 3:00:20:12 (give or take).
    (01/04 13:00:48) Doobes: I hope the new year has started off well for everyone. We've got a few items of news to get to, but first, the usual ground rules to keep things running smoothly:
    (01/04 13:00:48) Doobes: 1. Please *keep chatter to a minimum* while speakers are talking. The occasional comment or emote is fine, but be respectful and let the speaker finish.
    (01/04 13:00:48) Doobes: 2. If you have a question for a speaker, please don
    (01/04 13:00:48) Doobes: Oops.
    (01/04 13:02:56) Doobes: 2. If you have a question for a speaker, please don't ask it directly: PM it to me. Be sure a
    (01/04 13:02:56) Doobes: Ugh…this is what I get for copy/pasting. 😛
    (01/04 13:02:56) Doobes: Be sure a ? is somewhere in the question for it to register in the queue.
    (01/04 13:02:56) Doobes: 3. Speakers, please indicate when you are done speaking and ready for questions, and when you're ready for the next question.
    (01/04 13:02:56) Doobes: 4. If a question requires a long explanation, we may have to skip it to keep things moving. In that case, you can always PM any speaker once they've left the stage.
    (01/04 13:02:56) Doobes: 5. A summary and a chatlog of the Meeting will be published in the next few days on the Guild of Messengers' site: https://www.guildofmessengers.info/
    (01/04 13:02:56) Doobes: Now with that out of the way, let's turn things over to CT Hostess Susa'n to talk about the Cavern Tours!
    (01/04 13:05:04) CT Hostess Susa'n: !Shorah b'shemtee
    (01/04 13:05:04) CT Hostess Susa'n: copy/paste is not working 😛
    (01/04 13:05:04) Doobes: No, was just the wrong type of apostrophe, if you can believe it. 😉
    (01/04 13:05:04) Emor D'ni Lap: ctrl-v!
    (01/04 13:05:04) CT Hostess Susa'n: Larry LeDeay, Mirphak “Mir-o-Bot” and I are pleased to announce the return of CAVERN TOURS!
    (01/04 13:05:04) CT Hostess Susa'n: Cavern Tours are a series of walking tours that cover every age in MOULa.
    (01/04 13:05:04) CT Hostess Susa'n: The tour guides speaking in character about D'ni and D'ni restoration history, the functions and purposes of the building and machinery in each age, and the flora and fauna in each age.
    (01/04 13:07:12) CT Hostess Susa'n: Because the tours take place in private instances, we take you to locations you cannot reach during normal game-play.
    (01/04 13:07:12) CT Hostess Susa'n: The tours will take place the second Saturday of each month, beginning January 11, 2020, from 11:00 to 13:00 KI time.
    (01/04 13:07:12) CT Hostess Susa'n: That's next Saturday, folks!

    (01/04 13:07:12) CT Hostess Susa'n: We will meet in Cavern Tour's Hood for a brief orientation, then link together to the age we will visit that day.
    (01/04 13:07:12) CT Hostess Susa'n: If you are interested in participating in the tours, please PM me and I will add you to my Buddies list.
    (01/04 13:07:12) CT Hostess Susa'n: You should add me to yours, as well.
    (01/04 13:07:12) CT Hostess Susa'n: For more information, please visit Larry's excellent “The Lost Library of D'ni” website
    (01/04 13:09:20) CT Hostess Susa'n: http://www.florestica.com/hpotd/caverntour/.
    (01/04 13:09:20) CT Hostess Susa'n: In addition, I will post monthly updates in the MOULa forums under Events/Cavern Tours 2020!
    (01/04 13:09:20) CT Hostess Susa'n: Any questions?
    (01/04 13:09:20) CT Hostess Susa'n: no questions?
    (01/04 13:09:20) Boywhith: Is it possible to do the tour one hour later?
    (01/04 13:09:20) Doobes: Sorry, just a sec…
    (01/04 13:09:20) CT Hostess Susa'n: I am very sorry
    (01/04 13:09:20) Doobes: There's some in the queue too. 😉
    (01/04 13:09:20) etelka: are the tours with text or voice
    (01/04 13:09:20) CT Hostess Susa'n: we chose 11:00-13:00 so as not to interfere with r'Tay's Story Night at 14:00 on Saturdays
    (01/04 13:11:28) CT Hostess Susa'n: we will use voice chat
    (01/04 13:11:28) Doobes: People, please PM questions to me. I *will* ask them for you.
    (01/04 13:11:28) Boywhith: Pity… A bit nasty for Europeans.
    (01/04 13:11:28) CT Hostess Susa'n: so make sure you check “Enable Voice Chat” in the Audio Settings
    (01/04 13:11:28) Doobes: Our next question is from Theo.
    (01/04 13:11:28) Doobes: [Theo] What about a provision for people to join halfway through at noon?
    (01/04 13:11:28) CT Hostess Susa'n: add me to your Buddies list, then PM me. I will guide you how to join the tour in progress.
    (01/04 13:11:28) Doobes: Our next question is from philipgr.
    (01/04 13:11:28) Doobes: [philipgr] Can you pse ask CT that if the y use the bot to please let everyone know what commands to use by typing them out. I recently had an experience where this did not happen?
    (01/04 13:11:28) CT Hostess Susa'n: we will instruct you how to use Mir-o-Bot
    (01/04 13:13:36) philipgr: Thank you
    (01/04 13:13:36) CT Hostess Susa'n: the three primary commands will be “Link” “w” and “find Larry”
    (01/04 13:13:36) Doobes: westar, the queue “ate” your question. Go ahead.
    (01/04 13:13:36) westar: will there be play time at the end of the tour like previously?
    (01/04 13:13:36) CT Hostess Susa'n: if Mirphak has time that Saturday, he will be happy to provide play time 😀
    (01/04 13:13:36) westar: ok
    (01/04 13:13:36) Doobes: Any other questions?
    (01/04 13:13:36) CT Hostess Susa'n: by the way, Mirphak is Mir-o-Bot's maker and operator
    (01/04 13:13:36) CT Hostess Susa'n: please give him a hand!
    (01/04 13:13:36) Doobes: One more from ChrisKB.
    (01/04 13:15:44) ChrisKB: Just to confirm, we can join in the middle of the tour, right?
    (01/04 13:15:44) CT Hostess Susa'n: yes, you may join the tour in progress
    (01/04 13:15:44) CT Hostess Susa'n: each tour will take approximately 2 hours
    (01/04 13:15:44) CT Hostess Susa'n: any other questions?
    (01/04 13:15:44) Doobes: None in the queue.
    (01/04 13:15:44) Doobes: Thank you both!
    (01/04 13:15:44) CT Hostess Susa'n: a buddy reminded me …
    (01/04 13:15:44) CT Hostess Susa'n: for those new to this game, we do try to avoid spoilers
    (01/04 13:15:44) CT Hostess Susa'n: but a few spoilers may slip through
    (01/04 13:15:44) CT Hostess Susa'n: see you at the tours!!!!!
    (01/04 13:15:44) Doobes: So already a bit of technical difficulty. Hooray!
    (01/04 13:17:52) Doobes: 😛
    (01/04 13:17:52) Doobes: For those of you that don't know, last month was “Lexember”, a social media event where people create new words across the entire month of December.
    (01/04 13:17:52) Doobes: Cyan participated this year and posted a ton of new (and a few familiar) D'ni words!
    (01/04 13:17:52) Doobes: If you'd like to extend your D'ni vocabulary, a list of the words released for Lexember has been gathered here:
    (01/04 13:17:52) Doobes: https://archive.guildofarchivists.org/wiki/Reference:Lexember_2019
    (01/04 13:17:52) Doobes: Next up, we have rarified from OpenUru.org!
    (01/04 13:17:52) rarified: Shorah, and Happy New Year everyone!
    (01/04 13:17:52) Mirphak: hi rarified, happy new year
    (01/04 13:17:52) rarified: Thiis will be brief, I haven't taken much time to make a presentation.
    (01/04 13:20:00) Phan'o'Myst: lag is aweful in here today
    (01/04 13:20:00) rarified: Last month Doobes and I got up here with a great deal of enthusiasm about Fan content.
    (01/04 13:20:00) Boywhith: And I have no sound…
    (01/04 13:20:00) rarified: That has been my primary focus last month, on Minkata.
    (01/04 13:20:00) rarified: At our last meeting, we announce we were able to load and visit some very simple test ages,
    (01/04 13:20:00) rarified: which shows we now have a path on incorporating ages into the Minkata servers.
    (01/04 13:20:00) rarified: Since then, we have been able to load a couple of versions of Doobes' GuildOfMessengersPub age
    (01/04 13:22:08) rarified: successfully, and it appears to be working as well.
    (01/04 13:22:08) Doobes: 😀
    (01/04 13:22:08) rarified: With that under our belt, we are now in the process of debugging some issues with
    (01/04 13:22:08) rarified: Doobes' most complex age I've seen, ChisoPreniv otherwise known as a fan library age.,
    (01/04 13:22:08) rarified: This age has tickled a bug somewhere that has been challenging to locate.
    (01/04 13:22:08) Phan'o'Myst: lag is aweful today
    (01/04 13:22:08) rarified: It even may be that the compilers used to build the client are making errors when
    (01/04 13:22:08) rarified: building tthe client that make it behave incorrectly.
    (01/04 13:24:16) rarified: So it is taking a bit of time to chase down. But if you count the number of times
    (01/04 13:24:16) Ro”Jethhe: 30 peeps are here in Kirel.
    (01/04 13:24:16) rarified: I've started the client, placed breakpoints in machine code, run to the breakpoint and then
    (01/04 13:24:16) rarified: have the client crash again, you can count that as progress 😉
    (01/04 13:24:16) rarified: So that is underway… In other news…
    (01/04 13:24:16) Doobes: It's not work in my eyes unless I break something. Hehehe.
    (01/04 13:24:16) Ahno: controlled crash is better than uncontrolled
    (01/04 13:24:16) rarified: Doobes here has answered the call for volunteering to learn how to help run Minkata's
    (01/04 13:24:16) rarified: servers and speed the turn around time when ages are under development.
    (01/04 13:26:24) Lari'el: Break(point) all the things!
    (01/04 13:26:24) Sleeper Jan: been a moment since i was there
    (01/04 13:26:24) rarified: While I haven't had time yet to pair up with him on a session, I'm working on
    (01/04 13:26:24) rarified: setting up a means that he can both watch what I'm doing, and then have access to
    (01/04 13:26:24) rarified: do those things himself. I'm looking forward to decreasing the number of
    (01/04 13:26:24) rarified: interrupts per second my aging neurons need to handle.
    (01/04 13:26:24) Doobes: Hehehe.
    (01/04 13:26:24) rarified: So, with that, I've covered all the Minkata status at the moment.
    (01/04 13:26:24) Sleeper Jan: claps
    (01/04 13:26:24) rarified: We don't yet have a more concrete timetable for when things can move closer to
    (01/04 13:26:24) Muffington Maniac: Yay
    (01/04 13:28:32) rarified: MOULa, but it's coming. The odometer is running.
    (01/04 13:28:32) rarified: Questions?
    (01/04 13:28:32) Doobes: Oops, sorry. PM and another queue weirdness.
    (01/04 13:28:32) Doobes: Any questions for rarified I may have lost? 😛
    (01/04 13:28:32) FIREMAGE3000: oops
    (01/04 13:28:32) Doobes: I guess Kor has chat problems, I get queue problems. Hehehe.
    (01/04 13:28:32) rarified: Quantum tunnelling.
    (01/04 13:28:32) CT Hostess Susa'n: blame the Bahro
    (01/04 13:28:32) Doobes: Again, if you don't get to your question, you can always PM the speaker once they leave the stage.
    (01/04 13:28:32) rarified: Ok, thanks everyone.
    (01/04 13:28:32) Doobes: Thank you rarified!
    (01/04 13:30:40) Doobes: We're moving at a brisk pace and my client is misbehaving…but we soldier on!
    (01/04 13:30:40) Doobes: So there was another speaker I wanted to introduce, but coming back to moderating has frazzled my brain.
    (01/04 13:30:40) Doobes: Ugh, who was it? It was some guy. Always droning on about stuff….
    (01/04 13:30:40) Doobes: Oh yeah! It's ME. 😛
    (01/04 13:30:40) philipgr: lol
    (01/04 13:30:40) Sleeper Jan: lol
    (01/04 13:30:40) rarified: You're older than you were at the beginning off the meeting.
    (01/04 13:30:40) Doobes: As rarified said, development continues on getting fan Ages into MOULa. Unfortunately, due to the holidays and the aforementioned bug, work has slowed for the last couple of weeks.
    (01/04 13:30:40) Doobes: Before that though, Hoikas has written some amazing code to help Minkata(-alpha). Basically, a few things just need to be implemented.
    (01/04 13:30:40) Doobes: So while we're waiting, I've decided to do the next best thing and release the content on other shards, which includes Gehn Shard, The Open Cave, and Deep Island!
    (01/04 13:32:48) Teni'shan: Holy mother of lag in here
    (01/04 13:32:48) ChrisKB: ooh aah
    (01/04 13:32:48) Doobes: This will include the new(-ish) Guild of Messengers Pub (or Tavern as Nev'yn likes to call it), the fan library Timel Korvahkh (formerly Chiso Preniv), and Veelay Tsahvahn, the Memorial Age.
    (01/04 13:32:48) philipgr: Nice 🙂
    (01/04 13:32:48) Doobes: This will be the first official release for Timel and Veelay, and for the Pub, it's first release on Deep Island and for offline URU. They will also be the first Ages released exported natively by Korman!
    (01/04 13:32:48) Doobes: I'm hoping to get everything ready in time for the MOULa tenth anniversary next month, but many forces must align for that to happen, including our magnificent shard admins to get some time on their end, so it *might* be a bit of a tapered release. 🙂
    (01/04 13:32:48) Doobes: As for Minkata and MOULa getting these Ages, I promise to do what I can to keep that ball rolling by working with any and all programmers, as is the spirit of open source.
    (01/04 13:32:48) rarified: When is it? DD/MM/YY HH:SS:ms?
    (01/04 13:32:48) Doobes: And of course, learn to keep the Minkata shard up and running to take some of the pressure off rarified. 😉
    (01/04 13:34:56) Doobes: The patented “sooooooon”, rarified. 😀
    (01/04 13:34:56) Sleeper Jan: lol
    (01/04 13:34:56) rarified: I don't want to hear about “rarified time” 😛
    (01/04 13:34:56) philipgr: lol
    (01/04 13:34:56) Sleeper Jan: rofl
    (01/04 13:34:56) Doobes: So aside from a solid release date (which there isn't one) any other questions?
    (01/04 13:34:56) Sleeper Jan: avoid rarified food then
    (01/04 13:34:56) Ro”Jethhe: picky picky picky you are Rabbit
    (01/04 13:34:56) Claidi Song: And, rarified air.
    (01/04 13:34:56) Doobes: Yes, we have been harassing rarified far too much lately. Still, it's made progress. 🙂
    (01/04 13:34:56) Muffington Maniac: Avoid Rarified anything
    (01/04 13:34:56) Ahno: rarifeed food
    (01/04 13:34:56) rarified: We get that at 7000 feet *wheeze*
    (01/04 13:34:56) Doobes: Our next question is from ChrisKB.
    (01/04 13:34:56) Doobes: [ChrisKB] Is this the same Guild of Messengers Pub that's on Gehn Shard?
    (01/04 13:34:56) FIREMAGE3000: wheel-bahro puns
    (01/04 13:34:56) Doobes: Yes and no. It'll be an upgraded version of the Pub…with better lighting and shiny, shiny floors. 🙂
    (01/04 13:34:56) Doobes: Basically to show of Korman's abilities.
    (01/04 13:37:04) ChrisKB: okay!
    (01/04 13:37:04) rarified: The Korman “wax on wax off” feature.
    (01/04 13:37:04) Doobes: DCMs are lovely. 🙂
    (01/04 13:37:04) Doobes: Any other questions?
    (01/04 13:37:04) FIREMAGE3000: korman the janitor?
    (01/04 13:37:04) Doobes: Also, for those having lag, I know it's lame…but you can look at the floor. It can help sometimes.
    (01/04 13:37:04) Doobes: Korman the Blender plugin. It's awesome. 😉
    (01/04 13:37:04) Doobes: On that note, that's in for my stuff. Up next, we have Minasunda!
    (01/04 13:37:04) PodHopper: cheer
    (01/04 13:37:04) Minasunda: shorah 🙂
    (01/04 13:37:04) Ahno: frustum cullling
    (01/04 13:37:04) Minasunda: The 10th anniversary of MOULa is just around the corner. We expect to celebrate from February 6th to February 9th.
    (01/04 13:37:04) Minasunda: In the forum you will find the preliminary event plan which will be updated regularly. Please keep up to date.
    (01/04 13:39:12) Minasunda: https://mystonline.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=29231
    (01/04 13:39:12) Minasunda: So far the following events are on the plan:
    (01/04 13:39:12) Minasunda: Thursday: Opening ceremony with Ghaelen, Country Evening with Eternal Seeker, Dance party in Gahreesen with HodHopper
    (01/04 13:39:12) Minasunda: Friday: DoorRun Quest with Eternal Seeker (If there are not at least 3 teams, the event will not take place), Fil Live Music in Eder Gira,
    (01/04 13:39:12) Minasunda: Saturday: Cavern tour with Larry, Nulp Dance Show in Great Zero, Story Night Special with r'Tayrtahn, Karaoke
    (01/04 13:39:12) Minasunda: Sunday: Fashion quest with Minasunda, Memorial with Ghaelen, Magic closing event with Yoda
    (01/04 13:39:12) Minasunda: Registration for the DoorRunQuest and FashionQuest participants is required.
    (01/04 13:39:12) Minasunda: (Only for the competition participants, not for the spectators)
    (01/04 13:39:12) Minasunda: And a magic dance is planned for the magic closing event (like a flash mob). If you would like to participate, you must also register.
    (01/04 13:39:12) Minasunda: Don't worry, it doesn't hurt and no prerequisites are necessary. 😛 😀 😀
    (01/04 13:41:20) Minasunda: Please register as soon as possible, but not later than 3 days before the event.
    (01/04 13:41:20) Minasunda: You have different options to register (with name and KI number)
    (01/04 13:41:20) Minasunda: – via KI mail to Eternal Seeker KI 254640 or Minasunda KI 5667000
    (01/04 13:41:20) Minasunda: – on Facebook Page “MOULa : Anniversaries – Holiday – Events” https://www.facebook.com/groups/1816103321947856/
    (01/04 13:41:20) Minasunda: – in the forum: https://mystonline.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=29231
    (01/04 13:41:20) Minasunda: You can find detailed information about the two quests too in the forum. Please read the spoilers.
    (01/04 13:41:20) Minasunda: You can put together a team or you can register as a lone fighter, then Seeker will assign you to a team. It is of course better to look for a team yourself.
    (01/04 13:41:20) Minasunda: sorry Seeker 😛
    (01/04 13:41:20) Minasunda: The number of members of the team is not mandatory. So it is quite possible to form a team of 6 or 7 or 2 ;)))
    (01/04 13:41:20) Minasunda: For the DoorRunQuest the Tsogals are selected at random and a different one for each team. So everyone has the same conditions.
    (01/04 13:43:28) Minasunda: So build teams and start training. :)))
    (01/04 13:43:28) Minasunda: Don't forget to register. We hope for numerous participants.
    (01/04 13:43:28) Minasunda: Thats all 🙂 Any questions?
    (01/04 13:43:28) Sleeper Jan: grabs rabbit arm
    (01/04 13:43:28) Sleeper Jan: raises it
    (01/04 13:43:28) Minasunda: nothing ?
    (01/04 13:43:28) Ahno: door run event is a 'best time' game
    (01/04 13:43:28) Doobes: No questions in the queue. Any from the audience?
    (01/04 13:43:28) Minasunda: no ? Thank you 🙂
    (01/04 13:43:28) Rabbit: excuse me Jan????
    (01/04 13:43:28) Eternal Seeker: sure Ahno
    (01/04 13:43:28) CT Hostess Susa'n: does the door run time end when we all run thru the door?
    (01/04 13:43:28) Rabbit: what am I raising my arm for?
    (01/04 13:43:28) Minasunda: yes
    (01/04 13:45:36) Sleeper Jan: rabbit joins the door runs
    (01/04 13:45:36) CT Hostess Susa'n: or when the door opens?
    (01/04 13:45:36) Rabbit: uh … I do???
    (01/04 13:45:36) Doobes: OK, so we DO have questions. 🙂
    (01/04 13:45:36) Minasunda: when the door is open completly
    (01/04 13:45:36) CT Hostess Susa'n: thanks!
    (01/04 13:45:36) Doobes: Rabbit, what was your question?
    (01/04 13:45:36) ChrisKB: How will it be timed?
    (01/04 13:45:36) Minasunda: with a clock ?
    (01/04 13:45:36) Boywhith: By a D'ni clock, of course!
    (01/04 13:45:36) radioflux: If the Tsogals are different per team, then the conditions are NOT the same, I assume?
    (01/04 13:45:36) Ahno: photo sensor at the bottom of the door .D
    (01/04 13:45:36) Ahno: 😀
    (01/04 13:45:36) CT Hostess Susa'n: she does not want us to know the cloth numbers in advance
    (01/04 13:45:36) Doobes: OK, again…if your question didn't get through, please feel free to PM the speaker. Hehehe.
    (01/04 13:45:36) Boywhith: Good point from Radioflux…
    (01/04 13:45:36) Doobes: So I mentioned Lexember earlier…and speaking of the D'ni language, let's hear from Shokhooktahn Rehn! 😀
    (01/04 13:45:36) Minasunda: thans Susasn thats correct
    (01/04 13:47:44) Emor D'ni Lap: yay Rehn!
    (01/04 13:47:44) Minasunda: the referee stops the time with the stopwatch – there is no other way
    (01/04 13:47:44) shokhootahn Rehn: I have two separate announcements. One is for the D'ni Language Class and the other one is for r'Tayrtahn's Story Night.
    (01/04 13:47:44) shokhootahn Rehn: First, the language classes…
    (01/04 13:47:44) shokhootahn Rehn: Classes are back in session after the holiday break.
    (01/04 13:47:44) shokhootahn Rehn: As always, current students can find last-minute updates to class times on the left-hand imager.
    (01/04 13:47:44) shokhootahn Rehn: Also, I use Magic Bot's (KI #27527) advertisements (when he's on) to announce last-minute changes to class times.
    (01/04 13:49:52) shokhootahn Rehn: You can get those advertisements by adding him as a buddy and then sending him a PM with the word: advert
    (01/04 13:49:52) Ro”Jethhe: Magic Bot is MOI
    (01/04 13:49:52) shokhootahn Rehn: If Magic Bot is not on-line, you can also PM Mimi Bot (KI #71459) the word, as well.
    (01/04 13:49:52) Ro”Jethhe: MIA
    (01/04 13:49:52) Eternal Seeker: Magic bot is offline since more than a year
    (01/04 13:49:52) shokhootahn Rehn: There are evening classes avaible on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday nights, starting at either 20:00 KI time or 21:00 KI time, depending on the student's schedule.

    (01/04 13:49:52) Doobes: Shh. We'll get to that, folks. Let him finish.
    (01/04 13:49:52) shokhootahn Rehn: Are there any questions?
    (01/04 13:49:52) Doobes: I suppose the obvious would be if no bots are available, how would one be able to get this info.
    (01/04 13:49:52) Doobes: ?
    (01/04 13:49:52) Doobes: *are not available
    (01/04 13:52:00) PodHopper: guild of messengers agenda

    (01/04 13:52:00) Doobes: Er, which hood would that be again? 😉
    (01/04 13:54:08) Doobes: (just for clarity)
    (01/04 13:54:08) shokhootahn Rehn: Sorry for the slow responsse. Bad keyboard.
    (01/04 13:54:08) Doobes: No problem. Just glad you didn't crash.
    (01/04 13:54:08) shokhootahn Rehn: uild of Istructors' Hood
    (01/04 13:54:08) Doobes: Excellent.
    (01/04 13:54:08) shokhootahn Rehn: *Guild
    (01/04 13:54:08) Emor D'ni Lap: Baaaaaad keyboard
    (01/04 13:54:08) Doobes: Our next question is from FIREMAGE3000.
    (01/04 13:54:08) Doobes: [FIREMAGE3000] How do i join?
    (01/04 13:54:08) CT Hostess Susa'n: Guild of Instructor's Hood
    (01/04 13:54:08) Ahno: guess next questions answer will be guild of instructors hood 🙂
    (01/04 13:56:16) CT Hostess Susa'n: PM shok Rehn after he's finished speaking
    (01/04 13:56:16) shokhootahn Rehn: Sorry, the Guild is not open for membership, only for instruction.
    (01/04 13:56:16) Emor D'ni Lap: In Language
    (01/04 13:56:16) FIREMAGE3000: good to
    (01/04 13:56:16) FIREMAGE3000: know
    (01/04 13:56:16) Doobes: So yeah, come to learn, not to teach. 😉
    (01/04 13:56:16) shokhootahn Rehn: Are there any other questions?
    (01/04 13:56:16) Doobes: No more questions in the queue.
    (01/04 13:56:16) Doobes: For the sake of your poor keyboard, shall we continue to the next item? 🙂
    (01/04 13:56:16) shokhootahn Rehn: The second announcement is about r'Taytahn's Story Night.
    (01/04 13:58:24) shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night – Europe is now at the same stage of the history as is original Story Night.
    (01/04 13:58:24) shokhootahn Rehn: We are continuing with the story arc of the D'ni kings. Today, and for the next 30 weeks, we will hear the stories of the kings.
    (01/04 13:58:24) shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night is held in the public neighborhood of Tsahno's Hood every Saturday.
    (01/04 13:58:24) 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.
    (01/04 13:58:24) shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night – Europe is held at 14:00 KI time on Saturday afternoon. We start gathering at the hood's fountain starting at 13:30 KI time except for AGM Saturdays, when it starts at 14:00 KI or 30 minutes after the AGM, whichever is later. Again, I use Magic Bot to advertise changes to Story Night times for both Europe and original.
    (01/04 14:00:32) shokhootahn Rehn: … or iit the hood to look at the imager
    (01/04 14:00:32) shokhootahn Rehn: *look at
    (01/04 14:00:32) shokhootahn Rehn: Times for original Story Night (Saturdays at 23:30 KI time) are unaffected by my traveling. However, they are affected by power outages due to thunderstorms… which, unfortunately, 'tis always the season. Should this be the case, I will try to aprise one or two of my regular audience members of the situation so they can spread the news. 🙂
    (01/04 14:00:32) Woolie: hey theo!!!
    (01/04 14:00:32) shokhootahn Rehn: The stories are told using voice so you will need to have your speakers or headsets on.
    (01/04 14:00:32) 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 so it must be added to the body of the text.
    (01/04 14:00:32) shokhootahn Rehn: YOU *MUST* INCLUDE YOUR KI NUMBER IN THE BODY OF THE MAIL TO BE ADDED!
    (01/04 14:02:40) Doobes: Otherwise, it's like sending mail with no return address. 😉
    (01/04 14:02:40) shokhootahn Rehn: Exactly!
    (01/04 14:02:40) shokhootahn Rehn: Some have sent messages to be added but have not included their KI mail so they were unable to be added.
    (01/04 14:02:40) shokhootahn Rehn: Also, I use Magic Bot's (KI #27527) advertisements to announce last-minute changes to Story Night times.
    (01/04 14:02:40) shokhootahn Rehn: Again, Story Night – Europe will begin 30 minutes after the conclusion of today's AGM or at 14:00 KI time, whichever is later.
    (01/04 14:02:40) shokhootahn Rehn: We hope to see you there!
    (01/04 14:02:40) shokhootahn Rehn: Any questions?
    (01/04 14:02:40) Doobes: None in the queue. Any questions about D'ni Language classes or Story Night?
    (01/04 14:02:40) etelka (I'm on the surface, be back in a minute):
    (01/04 14:02:40) Boywhith: vreemd… al het andere doet het wel qua geluid en alle schuifjes lijken ook goed te staan…

    (01/04 14:04:48) Doobes: Our next question is from ChrisKB.
    (01/04 14:04:48) Doobes: [ChrisKB] Can we take the classes more than once?
    (01/04 14:04:48) shokhootahn Rehn: Yes
    (01/04 14:04:48) ChrisKB: Yaay 🙂
    (01/04 14:04:48) Doobes: Any other questions?
    (01/04 14:04:48) Doobes: OK! Thank you Rehn!
    (01/04 14:04:48) Doobes: I must apologize for the glitchiness of this meeting. I know Kor makes things look easy, but believe me, it's not…especially when you haven't done it in awhile. XD

    (12/07 13:03:50) Korov'ev: 4. If a question requires a long explanation, we may have to skip it to keep things moving. In that case, you can always PM any speaker once they've left the stage.

    (12/07 13:11:48) Doobes: Hello, my fellow explorers!
    (12/07 13:12:01) Doobes: I come to you with news from the fan content front.
    (12/07 13:12:17) Doobes: Late last month, with the help of rarified and Hoikas…we were able to get the Pub working on Minkata-alpha!
    (12/07 13:12:36) Doobes: While the Ages Emor and I submitted earlier were basic testing Ages, as you know, the new GoMe Pub is a beast as far as junk in it, both interactive and just pretty to look at.
    (12/07 13:12:56) Doobes: So it's quite handy to use as a benchmark for testing.
    (12/07 13:13:11) Doobes: What does this mean? Put simply, that's one step closer to getting it…and other fan Ages…to MOULa!
    (12/07 13:13:19) Susa'n is amazed!
    (12/07 13:13:28) Minasunda: Wow
    (12/07 13:13:30) Doobes: Luckily, we were even able to locate, and in some cases squash, a few nasty bugs, both with the Age itself and with MOSS.
    (12/07 13:13:32) Boywhith: wow!
    (12/07 13:13:56) Doobes: I am confident that, along with the other content I'm building and porting, it'll soon be time to send this work along to Cyan's staging server…and after that? Hopefully right here to MOULa. 🙂
    (12/07 13:14:11) shokhootahn Rehn cheers
    (12/07 13:14:16) Doobes: This content will include upgraded Cyan Guild Pubs and an upgraded Watcher's Pub (although the path to the tree still won't be open as it requires more work).
    (12/07 13:14:39) Doobes: I'm also hoping to send all four fan Ages currently on Gehn and TOC, plus two brand new Ages from me to help tie things together.
    (12/07 13:14:41) Korov'ev: too many weeds
    (12/07 13:15:08) Doobes: I've been working like crazy to get this stuff ready to present to the community at large for heavy testing before we send all of it along to Cyan…but I'm hopeful we can get it all here to MOULa very early next year.
    (12/07 13:15:34) Doobes: After that, it'll hopefully open up the pipeline for others to submit their Ages for consideration. And I'd be happy to lend advice and a bit of help on that front.
    (12/07 13:15:53) Doobes: In the meantime, if you want to drop into Minkata-alpha and see the Pub, all the details on the shard are here:
    (12/07 13:16:00) Doobes: http://forums.openuru.org/viewtopic.php?f=108&t=1035&p=9683
    (12/07 13:16:20) Doobes: Note that rarified here may be tinkering with things at times, so it may not be up and available all the time. It IS a testing shard, after all. 😉
    (12/07 13:16:39) Doobes: Also, you'll be using an internal client with console commands, so it can get a bit technical. It's not TOO difficult once you have the commands down though.
    (12/07 13:16:59) Doobes: Currently, the Pub is having some SDL issues, so it's once again inaccessible, but that will most likely change once the problem is found and fixed.
    (12/07 13:17:16) Doobes: I have complete faith in rarified's abilities. 🙂
    (12/07 13:17:21) Doobes salutes
    (12/07 13:17:29) rarified chuckles.
    (12/07 13:17:39) Doobes: When you *do* get to the Pub, or any test Age, the best thing you can do is go around and heavily scrutinize everything.
    (12/07 13:17:53) PodHopper: How about testing instructions to access the pub?
    (12/07 13:18:01) rarified: Walk through the curtains and fall off the end of the world.
    (12/07 13:18:17) Doobes: Now now…I fixed that. Leftovers from a planned addition. 😛
    (12/07 13:18:26) rarified: Hehe
    (12/07 13:18:43) rarified: May I?
    (12/07 13:18:50) Doobes: Certainly. 🙂
    (12/07 13:18:59) Emor D'ni Lap: I would /sit
    (12/07 13:19:03) Emor D'ni Lap: oops
    (12/07 13:19:10) Doobes: LOL!
    (12/07 13:19:10) rarified: Shorah also, patient traveler!
    (12/07 13:19:30) rarified: The last month has been unusually productive on the testing pipeline.
    (12/07 13:19:56) rarified: Things picked up with a code submission from cjkelly1, a veteran explorer and
    (12/07 13:20:11) rarified: one of the original authors of the MOSS server we use on Minkata.
    (12/07 13:20:26) rarified: He provided the initial additions to the client that were necessary to
    (12/07 13:20:47) rarified: be able to explore ages that were built with Blender and Korman, a modern
    (12/07 13:21:06) rarified: tool rather than the commercial tool Cyan originally used for MOULa.
    (12/07 13:21:37) rarified: This code was critical to getting fan created ages such as Doobes' pub
    (12/07 13:21:53) rarified: into the Minkata server and explorable.
    (12/07 13:22:08) rarified: (It's been a thorn in the side for almost two years)
    (12/07 13:22:22) Doobes: Oh, it's a thorn in any shard admin's side at one time or another. 😛
    (12/07 13:22:32) rarified: With that, as Doobes has mentioned, we now have opened up Minkata-alpha
    (12/07 13:22:53) rarified: to the fan creators, for the first rounds of testing a couple of fan ages.
    (12/07 13:23:12) rarified: I'm going to handle Minkata-alpha a little differently than Minkata.
    (12/07 13:23:36) rarified: Minkata-alpha is an additional shard running in parallel with Minkata. It uses
    (12/07 13:23:58) rarified: the same Minkata client, but you access it by running a magic "batch" file
    (12/07 13:24:14) rarified: you add to your Minkata installation.
    (12/07 13:24:23) Doobes: It's really quite simple once it's set up.
    (12/07 13:24:32) rarified: What also will be different is that announcements about new testing cycles
    (12/07 13:24:51) rarified: (I hope) will come from the Fan authors, rather than me. I will take the role
    (12/07 13:25:09) rarified: of adding a fan age into Minkata-alpha, and leave it up to the author to
    (12/07 13:25:25) rarified: describe the things they want tested, as well as any special ways to get
    (12/07 13:25:42) rarified: access to their age. For the time being, because we don't have an in-game
    (12/07 13:25:56) rarified: linking book or additions to the nexus to reach fan ages, you will have to
    (12/07 13:26:24) rarified: use unusual commands (typed from the keyboard) to gain entry to an age.
    (12/07 13:26:32) Doobes: I'm working to remedy that as well, by and by.
    (12/07 13:26:45) rarified: I again will ask the fan content authors to describe which commands you
    (12/07 13:27:03) rarified: should use to explore these ages. I hope they will put announcements in
    (12/07 13:27:17) rarified: both the MOULa and OpenUru forums when this happens.
    (12/07 13:27:24) Doobes: Works for me. Takes some of the work off your plate. A Good Thing ™. 🙂
    (12/07 13:27:40) rarified: Minkata-alpha will be much more volatile than Minkata. I won't hesitate
    (12/07 13:27:58) rarified: to rebuild the vault or change/add/remove test ages with almost no advance
    (12/07 13:28:01) rarified: warning.
    (12/07 13:28:26) rarified: As Doobes also mentioned, there currently appeared a problem with the passing
    (12/07 13:28:40) rarified: of some age information between the server and client for the most recent
    (12/07 13:28:52) Korov'ev: This should probably be remarked: these are test shards, wipes are possible and expected.
    (12/07 13:29:00) Doobes: Indeed.
    (12/07 13:29:02) rarified: iteration of the Guild of Messengers Pub (the only test age currently on Minkata-alpha).
    (12/07 13:29:17) Doobes: Well, aside from the bare bones ones Emor and I made. 😛
    (12/07 13:29:33) rarified: I am actively working to locate the problem, so if you visit, don't be concerned with a Net 6
    (12/07 13:29:53) rarified: or some really bizzare behavior, even in the "normal" ages.
    (12/07 13:30:18) rarified: There were two topics on the OpenUru forums you should read to get an overview
    (12/07 13:30:21) John5: y
    (12/07 13:30:23) rarified: of using Minkata-alpha:

    (12/07 13:31:39) rarified: Reading those two will tell you how to gain access to, and switch between Minkata and Minkata-alpha.
    (12/07 13:32:07) rarified: Finally, I'd like to mention that there are a couple of fan ages under construction that
    (12/07 13:32:24) Korov'ev: And you will soon start to dread the L key.
    (12/07 13:32:24) rarified: will provide in-game access to these new ages.
    (12/07 13:32:48) rarified: Once those have become available and tested, I'll start moving fan content into Minkata along
    (12/07 13:33:08) rarified: with the new Nexii or whatever mechanism is designed for fan access.
    (12/07 13:33:36) rarified: That will be the enabling event to start considering when fan content can be considered
    (12/07 13:33:42) rarified: for inclusion in MOULa.
    (12/07 13:34:02) rarified: I know this has been long winded, but there is a lot going on behind the scenes, and
    (12/07 13:34:13) Doobes nods
    (12/07 13:34:30) rarified: it has been the result of excellent coordination between our authors, testers, and lowly me.
    (12/07 13:34:42) Handyman Henry claps his hands
    (12/07 13:34:50) Emor D'ni Lap: aw c'mon now raarified
    (12/07 13:34:54) rarified: I want to express my appreciation to Doobes and the GoW for their help. And
    (12/07 13:35:02) Doobes: Aww. 🙂
    (12/07 13:35:09) Telrov cheers
    (12/07 13:35:15) rarified: we are getting close. Closer than OpenUru time. Closer than Cyan time.
    (12/07 13:35:22) rarified: And with that…
    (12/07 13:35:23) rarified bows
    (12/07 13:35:28) etelka cheers

    (12/07 13:35:49) Doobes: So speaking of Ages, work continues on porting Cyan's into ready-to-export-and-modify files.
    (12/07 13:36:02) Doobes: Chogon has drafted some legal language to include with these files. Once that's finalized, I hope to post the "base" versions of the blends on GitHub.
    (12/07 13:36:03) Kayara claps her hands
    (12/07 13:36:18) rarified: Oh, yes, one more from me too 😀
    (12/07 13:36:24) Doobes: From there, anyone can download the Ages and modify it however they like. Presumably, one could even customize many Ages for their own shard for a sort of "alternate dimension" kind of thing. 😀
    (12/07 13:36:37) Doobes: A "Shard of Dreams" if you will. *nods to Nev'yn from the chatlog* 😛
    (12/07 13:36:59) Korov'ev: <kaboom, tish>
    (12/07 13:37:02) Doobes: The most important point here is this: I know you've heard for years about fan Ages and content coming to MOULa, and I know it hasn't been delivered yet after so many years of promises.
    (12/07 13:37:16) Doobes: Please know that I know how you feel. It can be incredibly frustrating getting your hopes up and continuing to wait.
    (12/07 13:37:34) Doobes: However, as rarified stated, recent developments, along with Cyan's loosening of the rules with their Ages, has opened things up as they never have been before. Along with Chogon's help and enthusiasm (seriously, the guy is awesome and wants to see this happen as much as we do!), we are closer now than ever.
    (12/07 13:37:56) Doobes: To put it another way…it's now not a question of IF…but WHEN.
    (12/07 13:38:10) Doobes: So please…keep the faith alive as you have done so well for so long, my friends. Enjoy the cavern, have the best of times with each other here, keep planning amazing events, continue to donate to the CAVCON as much as you can…because exciting new things ARE coming. And SOON!
    (12/07 13:38:28) Doobes: (That's a *soon* soon, not a Cyan "Soon" ™ )
    (12/07 13:38:32) MindWalker claps his hands

    (12/07 13:39:11) Doobes: WordPress: https://agesofdoobes.wordpress.com
    (12/07 13:39:21) Doobes: And lastly, another word from rarified. 🙂
    (12/07 13:39:22) Claidi Song cheers
    (12/07 13:39:36) aqua cheers
    (12/07 13:39:50) rarified: Ok, one more thing. If you have hung around the fan age authors and/or GoW at all,
    (12/07 13:40:14) rarified: you may have heard that building ages is not for resource-challenged computers.
    (12/07 13:40:43) rarified: Not only do the authors need a big computer, but with content comes the need to
    (12/07 13:40:59) rarified: store that content (an archival library, as it were).
    (12/07 13:41:22) rarified: Free access to large quantities of storage is rare. But I happen to have on the OpenUru
    (12/07 13:41:34) rarified: server a fair amount of open space.
    (12/07 13:41:55) rarified: I have offered to establish a repository on the OpenUru server to run in parallel
    (12/07 13:42:17) rarified: with the GoW repositories on github for authors to store their big blend files and/or
    (12/07 13:42:27) rarified: ages as they evolve.
    (12/07 13:42:34) Doobes: Very nice!
    (12/07 13:42:47) rarified: If you are an author, I would encourage you to look for an announcement from Hoikas{Adam}
    (12/07 13:42:47) Korov'ev: Yay!
    (12/07 13:42:53) shokhootahn Rehn cheers
    (12/07 13:42:58) rarified: and I when this is set up and tested.
    (12/07 13:43:01) Telrov cheers
    (12/07 13:43:09) Claidi Song claps her hands
    (12/07 13:43:16) rarified: So there, github. Pfffft.
    (12/07 13:43:21) Doobes: LOL!
    (12/07 13:43:25) Korov'ev: heh
    (12/07 13:43:31) Emor D'ni Lap: haha
    (12/07 13:43:44) rarified: Ready for questions?
    (12/07 13:43:44) Korov'ev: Time for a few (quick) questions, I'd say.
    (12/07 13:43:49) Doobes: I'm ready.
    (12/07 13:44:02) Korov'ev: Our next question is from Emor D'ni Lap.
    (12/07 13:44:02) Korov'ev: [Emor D'ni Lap] Q: will the New GoMe Pub have a general beta-testing stage on the main Minkata server/shard?
    (12/07 13:44:15) Doobes looks to rarified
    (12/07 13:44:23) Doobes: I'm guessing so, but it's rarified's call. 😉
    (12/07 13:44:36) rarified: As I mentioned, I'm going to hold off moving fan ages to Minkata until we have the first versions of
    (12/07 13:44:52) rarified: a Nexus or Linking book to get to those fan ages.
    (12/07 13:45:09) Korov'ev: Our next question is from Lutra.
    (12/07 13:45:09) Korov'ev: [Lutra] So, Minkata-alpha is alpha, and Minkata is beta?
    (12/07 13:45:14) Doobes: That was one of the two new Ages I mentioned earlier.
    (12/07 13:45:14) rarified: In that regard, I'll keep Minkata clear for any code changes that we may need to send to Cyan.
    (12/07 13:45:30) rarified: Minkata-alpha is the first testing stop for fan ages.
    (12/07 13:45:33) Emor D'ni Lap: Okay then, a couple more points if I may?
    (12/07 13:45:36) rarified: (Alpha if you prefer)
    (12/07 13:45:38) Korov'ev: I think there's one more step 😉
    (12/07 13:45:56) Doobes: The last stop before MOULa is Cyan's staging server.
    (12/07 13:46:05) Emor D'ni Lap: I'd guess that the same would be true for the Cyan shard here:
    (12/07 13:46:06) rarified: Minkata is the place where everything being sent to Cyan is blended (pun) together.
    (12/07 13:46:10) Korov'ev: Let's answer the logged questions first
    (12/07 13:46:23) Doobes nods
    (12/07 13:46:28) Emor D'ni Lap: We would need an access point first, and that would have to be tested on Minkata as well
    (12/07 13:46:28) Doobes: They waited patiently. 🙂
    (12/07 13:46:41) rarified: So what is on Minkata, is what will be sent to Cyan on the next delivery.
    (12/07 13:46:53) Doobes: Again, namely their staging server.
    (12/07 13:47:15) Korov'ev: Our next question is from Boywhith.
    (12/07 13:47:16) Korov'ev: [Boywhith] How much % chance there is some of that new content is in MOULa within a year, you think?
    (12/07 13:47:21) Emor D'ni Lap: right, but as you said, content won't jusmp from Alpha to Cyan Staging directly
    (12/07 13:47:25) rarified: Does that (multiplexed) answer your question?
    (12/07 13:47:34) Doobes: If I have any say, 100%. 🙂
    (12/07 13:47:54) rarified: @Boywhith I can't give a percentage, and Doobes is a member of the eternal optimist club.
    (12/07 13:47:54) Doobes: Chogon has been very enthusiastic about this as well. He's the key to it all, I'd say.
    (12/07 13:48:09) rarified: But we will do everything we can to make this happen.
    (12/07 13:48:11) Doobes: Plus, Cyan letting us tinker with their toys doesn't hurt either, so they should get some credit too.
    (12/07 13:48:12) Boywhith: 100%… is that realistic?
    (12/07 13:48:22) Korov'ev: Our next question is from radioflux.
    (12/07 13:48:22) Korov'ev: [radioflux] Is someone actively working on the path to the tree in the Watcher's Pub? (If so, with Cyan's blessing?)
    (12/07 13:48:32) rarified: It's in the possible solution space.
    (12/07 13:48:33) Doobes: Yes. Things have been moving that much behind the scenes.
    (12/07 13:48:49) Korov'ev: Our next question is from Kayara.
    (12/07 13:48:49) Korov'ev: [Kayara] Speaking of a linking book: Any updates on the labrary age (sorry if I missed them) ?
    (12/07 13:49:07) Korov'ev: Doobes' or Sevkor?
    (12/07 13:49:08) Doobes: Not that I'm aware of, radioflux. The beauty of the files I'm porting is that anyone can have a crack at them.
    (12/07 13:49:14) rarified: There are a couple of authors in the audience… 😉
    (12/07 13:49:42) Doobes: I'm very close to finishing mine. I've got it working in Destiny, which is where I usually test before sending it out into the wild.
    (12/07 13:49:52) Handyman Henry: Ok
    (12/07 13:50:03) Doobes: Luckily, it'll only require a slight modification of a Python file to get it to fully work…hopefully. 😉
    (12/07 13:50:35) Korov'ev: We should move on, so a few more questions then you can talk with the speakers later…
    (12/07 13:50:36) Doobes: Right now, it's mostly the look of the Age that needs to be finalized…need to beat it up to age it a bit (no pun intended).
    (12/07 13:50:48) Kayara: woohoo!
    (12/07 13:50:56) rarified: Ok, any more for us?
    (12/07 13:51:01) Korov'ev: Our next question is from Lutra.
    (12/07 13:51:01) Korov'ev: [Lutra] A bit off topic, but do they know if Korman can work on Linux?
    (12/07 13:51:02) Doobes: Feel free to boot us off if we're holding everyone up, Kor. 😉
    (12/07 13:51:19) Doobes: Er…not sure? Sadly, that's a question for the GoW crew.

    (12/07 13:51:48) rarified: I don't see a technical reason. But of course you will need to test your age on a Windows client.

    (12/07 13:52:11) Emor D'ni Lap: sorry, not quick enough

    (12/07 13:53:34) Korov'ev: a week ago Mystitech Prod. (which I happen to be part of) has released Episode 8, "Schisms", of their machinima series "The Lost Art":
    (12/07 13:53:37) aqua: Yeah good stuff!
    (12/07 13:53:42) Korov'ev: https://youtu.be/RDevUmdvcfY
    (12/07 13:53:51) Korov'ev: In the last episode, we had a mysterious egg, shared dreams, and Thomas' new assistant turned up to be not exactly human. What's next?

    (12/07 13:55:10) shokhootahn Rehn: Cool!
    (12/07 13:55:21) Korov'ev: v
    (12/07 13:55:24) Korov'ev: Time for some Cyan news:
    (12/07 13:55:44) Korov'ev: (if you haven't subscribed to the official newsletter, you can do it from https://cyan.com/mailing-list/)
    (12/07 13:56:09) Korov'ev: If you're online…
    (12/07 13:56:13) Korov'ev says DOH!
    (12/07 13:56:22) Korov'ev: You must have noticed that the client has been updated, for the first time in years!
    (12/07 13:56:31) Handyman Henry: mysted it by that much
    (12/07 13:56:35) Korov'ev: Some people had problems updating: usually the issue is that the client is unable to replace itself; temporarily launching it with admin privileges should fix the problem.
    (12/07 13:56:40) Doobes: Dusted the cobwebs off it, they did. XD
    (12/07 13:56:44) Korov'ev: (though you should consider moving the game folder away from Program Files)
    (12/07 13:57:08) Korov'ev: If the client crashes, it could be PhysX, or some missing DLL. You should visit the MOUL forums for more troubleshooting,
    (12/07 13:57:19) Korov'ev: For example, https://mystonline.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=28534
    (12/07 13:57:38) Korov'ev: Moving on…
    (12/07 13:57:46) Korov'ev: On November 26, it was announced that Cyan Ventures acquired the tabletop roleplaying game "Unwritten: Adventures in the Ages of Myst and Beyond", by Inkworks Productions, one of the first 3rd party works in the D'ni universe since Myst IV: Revelation.
    (12/07 13:58:13) Korov'ev: Small revisions will be made to the existing Unwritten manuscript to reflect the new ownership, and the revised version will be available in the future from the Cyan Store, as well as from DriveThruRPG.
    (12/07 13:58:40) Korov'ev: Future versions of the Unwritten core rule book, future supplements, or other related products will be published by Cyan Ventures, in partnership with Inkworks, which will remain the primary developer for the Unwritten product line.
    (12/07 13:58:54) Korov'ev: For more info: https://cyan.com/cyan-ventures-acquires-unwritten-adventures-in-the-ages-of-myst-and-beyond/
    (12/07 13:59:13) Korov'ev: In other news, December is Lexember, and Cyan has been releasing some new D'ni words – with a phonetic transcription too! – through their Twitter account [https://twitter.com/cyanworlds].
    (12/07 13:59:14) rarified: That's a mouthful of URL.
    (12/07 13:59:39) Korov'ev: long and memorable!
    (12/07 13:59:44) Korov'ev: somewhat…
    (12/07 13:59:45) Doobes: Thank goodness for chatlogs!
    (12/07 14:00:01) Korov'ev: So far, they've released: ADVUH, n. arch; TAYGAHN, v. to love deeply, with the whole mind; BOL, n. brother; B'RISH, adv. very, so (lit. 'to twenty'); DAHGO, n. hammer (derived from DAHG, v. "to strike"); ELIOYKHETS, adj. gusty; EDER, v. to rest / n. a moment of rest (used in naming Garden Ages).
    (12/07 14:00:24) Korov'ev has Cyan's Twitter page open right now, just in case they post another one
    (12/07 14:00:41) Korov'ev: Now, some news from Mysterium 2020!
    (12/07 14:00:48) Handyman Henry: Who uses Twiter?
    (12/07 14:00:58) Korov'ev: Cyan

    (12/07 14:02:30) Korov'ev: For the pins, they are once again planning a set of enamel ones. Pin design is an easier and faster process than shirts. The deadline for these will be March 15, 2020. Details for the submission at https://mysterium.net/submissions/pin-design-submissions/
    (12/07 14:02:41) Korov'ev: For the activity books, which are the new thing for 2020, you can create a coloring book page, a word search, a crossword puzzle, etc. The deadline is April 19, 2020. Details for the submission at https://mysterium.net/submissions/activity-book-submissions/

    (12/07 14:04:57) shokhootahn Rehn: I have two separate announcements. One is for the D'ni Language Class and the other one is for r'Tayrtahn's Story Night.
    (12/07 14:05:16) shokhootahn Rehn: First, the language classes…
    (12/07 14:05:39) shokhootahn Rehn: On the surface, I have finished moving. Yay!!! I am still putting things away and finding forever homes for everything after my recent move. As a result there will not be any daytime classes until further notice. They *should* be able to return sometime in the winter. Night time classes, however, are unaffected.
    (12/07 14:05:58) shokhootahn Rehn: As always, current students can find last-minute updates to class times on the left-hand imager.
    (12/07 14:06:24) shokhootahn Rehn: Also, I use Magic Bot's (KI #27527) advertisements (when he's on) to announce last-minute changes to class times.
    (12/07 14:06:41) shokhootahn Rehn: You can get those advertisements by adding him as a buddy and then sending him a PM with the word: advert
    (12/07 14:07:02) shokhootahn Rehn: If Magic Bot is not on-line, you can also PM Mimi Bot (KI #71459) the word, as well.
    (12/07 14:07:26) shokhootahn Rehn: The Guild of Instructors' Hood will be open and public unless a class is in session. I will announce the availability of daytime classes on the Hood imager when they are ready to resume.
    (12/07 14:07:53) shokhootahn Rehn: There are evening classes avaible on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday nights, starting at either 20:00 KI time or 21:00 KI time, depending on the student's schedule.
    (12/07 14:08:10) shokhootahn Rehn: Are there any questions?
    (12/07 14:08:19) Korov'ev: None in queue
    (12/07 14:08:35) shokhootahn Rehn: The second announcement is about r'Taytahn's Story Night.
    (12/07 14:09:06) shokhootahn Rehn: Due to my traveling, Story Night – Europe is at a different stage of the history than is original Story Night.
    (12/07 14:09:44) shokhootahn Rehn: I'd like to thank Mirphak and NikkiMay for their invaluable help with the bi-annual Bahro Glyph Tour this year!
    (12/07 14:09:55) Susa'n cheers
    (12/07 14:10:05) Kayara claps her hands
    (12/07 14:10:22) shokhootahn Rehn: Last week for Story Night – Europe, we Started the story arc with the D'ni creation story, the pre-history, and the story of the firt king, Ri'neref. Today, and for the next 32 weeks, we will hear the stories of the kings.
    (12/07 14:10:57) shokhootahn Rehn: *first
    (12/07 14:11:08) Claidi Song claps her hands
    (12/07 14:11:11) shokhootahn Rehn: For original Story Night, we will finish with part 5 of the fan fiction "Jae's Journey".
    (12/07 14:11:11) Korov'ev: the flirt King
    (12/07 14:11:34) shokhootahn Rehn: lol
    (12/07 14:11:40) shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night is held in the public neighborhood of Tsahno's Hood every Saturday.
    (12/07 14:12:02) 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.
    (12/07 14:12:27) shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night – Europe is held at 14:00 KI time on Saturday afternoon. We start gathering at the hood's fountain starting at 13:30 KI time except for AGM Saturdays, when it starts at 14:00 KI or 30 minutes after the AGM, whichever is later. Again, I use Magic Bot to advertise changes to Story Night times for both Europe and original.
    (12/07 14:13:09) shokhootahn Rehn: Times for original Story Night (Saturdays at 23:30 KI time) are unaffected by my traveling. However, they are affected by power outages due to thunderstorms… which, unfortunately, 'tis always the season. Should this be the case, I will try to aprise one or two of my regular audience members of the situation so they can spread the news. 🙂
    (12/07 14:13:33) shokhootahn Rehn: The stories are told using voice so you will need to have your speakers or headsets on.
    (12/07 14:13:56) 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 so it must be added to the body of the text.
    (12/07 14:14:23) shokhootahn Rehn: YOU *MUST* INCLUDE YOUR KI NUMBER IN THE BODY OF THE MAIL TO BE ADDED!
    (12/07 14:14:38) shokhootahn Rehn: Some have sent messages to be added but have not included their KI mail so they were unable to be added.
    (12/07 14:15:00) shokhootahn Rehn: Also, I use Magic Bot's (KI #27527) advertisements to announce last-minute changes to Story Night times.
    (12/07 14:15:27) shokhootahn Rehn: Again, Story Night – Europe will begin 30 minutes after the conclusion of today's AGM.
    (12/07 14:15:40) shokhootahn Rehn: We hope to see you there!
    (12/07 14:16:03) shokhootahn Rehn: Any questions?
    (12/07 14:16:14) Korov'ev: None in queue
    (12/07 14:16:24) shokhootahn Rehn bows

    (12/07 13:03:24)Korov’ev: 2. If you have a question for a speaker, please don’t ask it directly: PM it to me. Be sure a “?” is somewhere in it to properly log the question in the queue.

    (12/07 13:03:44)Korov’ev: 3. Speakers, please indicate when you are done speaking and ready for questions, and when you’re ready for the next question.

    (12/07 13:03:50)Korov’ev: 4. If a question requires a long explanation, we may have to skip it to keep things moving. In that case, you can always PM any speaker once they’ve left the stage.

    (12/07 13:03:55)Korov’ev: 5. A summary and a chatlog of the Meeting will be published in the next few days on the Guild of Messengers’ site: https://www.guildofmessengers.info/

    (12/07 13:04:12)Korov’ev: Of course, you can start your own chatlog with “/startlog”.

    (12/07 13:04:32)Korov’ev: So, it’s the festive month, which means an advent calendar and, obviously, a party 🙂

    (12/07 13:04:40)Korov’ev: Let’s hear it from Minasunda!

    (12/07 13:04:58)Claidi Song clap

    (12/07 13:05:05)Minasunda: Shorah and happy Christmas Time 🙂

    (12/07 13:05:06)Doobes is ready to…par-taaay

    (12/07 13:05:16)Minasunda: for those who do not know yet, the Uru Advent calendar is available with new great content.

    (12/07 13:05:34)Minasunda: You can get the markergame with PM to Mir-O-Bot “sendme 8833282”.

    (12/07 13:05:48)Minasunda: For every day there is a number in Aegura. Before collecting the marker, it makes sense /startlog. So you can easy copy the links from your folder on your computer:

    (12/07 13:06:01)Minasunda: Your logfile you can find here: documents / uru live / log.

    (12/07 13:06:16)Minasunda: In each number you will find 2 video links to youtube – one video is in German, the other video German with English subtitles.

    (12/07 13:06:29)Minasunda: If you do not feel like collecting markers: You can also find an advent calendar with the same content here:

    (12/07 13:06:41)Minasunda: with english subtitles: https://tuerchen.com/5ca6f155

    (12/07 13:06:52)Minasunda: without subtitle: https://tuerchen.com/8e577cf4

    (12/07 13:07:08)Minasunda: The videos are not available in advance. They are only from the corresponding day on available on Youtube.

    (12/07 13:07:21)Minasunda: We hope you have as much fun watching as we are doing the videos. 😀 😀 :DWe, that’s Eternal Seeker, Mabe and me.

    (12/07 13:07:37)Minasunda: The second announcement is for the Christmas Party.

    (12/07 13:07:49)Minasunda: This year will take place in Mir-O-Bots Eder Delin on Dezember 15 at 13 KI.

    (12/07 13:08:06)Minasunda: To get there PM “link” or “meet” to Mir-O-Bot. You need him in your Buddielist – his KI is 32319

    (12/07 13:08:17)Minasunda: Our Yoda will make sure that the Christmas party will be magical.

    (12/07 13:08:29)Minasunda: The Nulp Dance Group will also provide entertainment and the music stream can be found at www.urutunes.com/Seeker

    (12/07 13:08:43)Minasunda: I still have one last point:

    (12/07 13:08:57)Minasunda: Please think about the 10th anniversary of MOULa in february. So far, only PodHopper has registered for the implementation of an event. And – of course – the Nulp Dance Group

    (12/07 13:09:18)Minasunda: Thats all. Any questions ?

    (12/07 13:09:42)Korov’ev: none in queue

    (12/07 13:09:51)Minasunda: I wish ypu a magical Christmastime. Thank you.

    (12/07 13:09:56)Minasunda bows

    (12/07 13:09:58)Thumbs up from PodHopper

    (12/07 13:09:59)Handyman Henry: millions but not relevant

    (12/07 13:10:01)Emor D’ni Lap: thank you, Minasunda!

    (12/07 13:10:07)aqua: Sounds great!

    (12/07 13:10:08)Korov’ev: thank you Mina!

    (12/07 13:10:23)Korov’ev: Time for some news from the fan Ages front; let’s hear it from Doom, er, Doobes, and Rarified!

    (12/07 13:10:28)Doobes: LOL!

    (12/07 13:10:42)Emor D’ni Lap applauds

    (12/07 13:10:51)Doobes beckons rarified

    (12/07 13:11:00)Handyman Henry gives a thumbs up to Doobes

    (12/07 13:11:01)rarified: Oh, together we go?

    (12/07 13:11:09)Doobes: Sure. You can go first though. 🙂

    (12/07 13:11:16)rarified bows

    (12/07 13:11:20)Doobes bows

    (12/07 13:11:24)Korov’ev: well, I gather the topic is similar 🙂

    (12/07 13:11:38)rarified: I’ll let Doobes lead off…

    (12/07 13:11:43)Handyman Henry thinks they both have found the secret stash

    (12/07 13:11:44)Doobes: Ah, OK.

    (12/07 13:11:48)Doobes: Hello, my fellow explorers!

    (12/07 13:12:01)Doobes: I come to you with news from the fan content front.

    (12/07 13:12:17)Doobes: Late last month, with the help of rarified and Hoikas…we were able to get the Pub working on Minkata-alpha!

    (12/07 13:12:36)Doobes: While the Ages Emor and I submitted earlier were basic testing Ages, as you know, the new GoMe Pub is a beast as far as junk in it, both interactive and just pretty to look at.

    (12/07 13:12:56)Doobes: So it’s quite handy to use as a benchmark for testing.

    (12/07 13:13:11)Doobes: What does this mean? Put simply, that’s one step closer to getting it…and other fan Ages…to MOULa!

    (12/07 13:13:19)Susa’n is amazed!

    (12/07 13:13:28)Minasunda: Wow

    (12/07 13:13:30)Doobes: Luckily, we were even able to locate, and in some cases squash, a few nasty bugs, both with the Age itself and with MOSS.

    (12/07 13:13:32)Boywhith: wow!

    (12/07 13:13:56)Doobes: I am confident that, along with the other content I’m building and porting, it’ll soon be time to send this work along to Cyan’s staging server…and after that? Hopefully right here to MOULa. 🙂

    (12/07 13:14:16)Doobes: This content will include upgraded Cyan Guild Pubs and an upgraded Watcher’s Pub (although the path to the tree still won’t be open as it requires more work).

    (12/07 13:14:39)Doobes: I’m also hoping to send all four fan Ages currently on Gehn and TOC, plus two brand new Ages from me to help tie things together.

    (12/07 13:14:41)Korov’ev: too many weeds

    (12/07 13:15:08)Doobes: I’ve been working like crazy to get this stuff ready to present to the community at large for heavy testing before we send all of it along to Cyan…but I’m hopeful we can get it all here to MOULa very early next year.

    (12/07 13:15:34)Doobes: After that, it’ll hopefully open up the pipeline for others to submit their Ages for consideration. And I’d be happy to lend advice and a bit of help on that front.

    (12/07 13:15:53)Doobes: In the meantime, if you want to drop into Minkata-alpha and see the Pub, all the details on the shard are here:

    (12/07 13:16:00)Doobes: http://forums.openuru.org/viewtopic.php?f=108&t=1035&p=9683

    (12/07 13:16:20)Doobes: Note that rarified here may be tinkering with things at times, so it may not be up and available all the time. It IS a testing shard, after all. 😉

    (12/07 13:16:39)Doobes: Also, you’ll be using an internal client with console commands, so it can get a bit technical. It’s not TOO difficult once you have the commands down though.

    (12/07 13:16:59)Doobes: Currently, the Pub is having some SDL issues, so it’s once again inaccessible, but that will most likely change once the problem is found and fixed.

    (12/07 13:17:16)Doobes: I have complete faith in rarified’s abilities. 🙂

    (12/07 13:17:21)Doobes salutes

    (12/07 13:17:29)rarified chuckles.

    (12/07 13:17:39)Doobes: When you *do* get to the Pub, or any test Age, the best thing you can do is go around and heavily scrutinize everything.

    (12/07 13:17:53)PodHopper: How about testing instructions to access the pub?

    (12/07 13:18:01)rarified: Walk through the curtains and fall off the end of the world.

    (12/07 13:18:17)Doobes: Now now…I fixed that. Leftovers from a planned addition. 😛

    (12/07 13:18:26)rarified: Hehe

    (12/07 13:18:43)rarified: May I?

    (12/07 13:18:50)Doobes: Certainly. 🙂

    (12/07 13:18:59)Emor D’ni Lap: I would /sit

    (12/07 13:19:03)Emor D’ni Lap: oops

    (12/07 13:19:10)Doobes: LOL!

    (12/07 13:19:10)rarified: Shorah also, patient traveler!

    (12/07 13:19:30)rarified: The last month has been unusually productive on the testing pipeline.

    (12/07 13:19:56)rarified: Things picked up with a code submission from cjkelly1, a veteran explorer and

    (12/07 13:20:11)rarified: one of the original authors of the MOSS server we use on Minkata.

    (12/07 13:20:26)rarified: He provided the initial additions to the client that were necessary to

    (12/07 13:20:47)rarified: be able to explore ages that were built with Blender and Korman, a modern

    (12/07 13:21:06)rarified: tool rather than the commercial tool Cyan originally used for MOULa.

    (12/07 13:21:37)rarified: This code was critical to getting fan created ages such as Doobes’ pub

    (12/07 13:21:53)rarified: into the Minkata server and explorable.

    (12/07 13:22:08)rarified: (It’s been a thorn in the side for almost two years)

    (12/07 13:22:22)Doobes: Oh, it’s a thorn in any shard admin’s side at one time or another. 😛

    (12/07 13:22:32)rarified: With that, as Doobes has mentioned, we now have opened up Minkata-alpha

    (12/07 13:22:53)rarified: to the fan creators, for the first rounds of testing a couple of fan ages.

    (12/07 13:23:12)rarified: I’m going to handle Minkata-alpha a little differently than Minkata.

    (12/07 13:23:36)rarified: Minkata-alpha is an additional shard running in parallel with Minkata. It uses

    (12/07 13:23:58)rarified: the same Minkata client, but you access it by running a magic “batch” file

    (12/07 13:24:14)rarified: you add to your Minkata installation.

    (12/07 13:24:23)Doobes: It’s really quite simple once it’s set up.

    (12/07 13:24:32)rarified: What also will be different is that announcements about new testing cycles

    (12/07 13:24:51)rarified: (I hope) will come from the Fan authors, rather than me. I will take the role

    (12/07 13:25:09)rarified: of adding a fan age into Minkata-alpha, and leave it up to the author to

    (12/07 13:25:25)rarified: describe the things they want tested, as well as any special ways to get

    (12/07 13:25:42)rarified: access to their age. For the time being, because we don’t have an in-game

    (12/07 13:25:56)rarified: linking book or additions to the nexus to reach fan ages, you will have to

    (12/07 13:26:24)rarified: use unusual commands (typed from the keyboard) to gain entry to an age.

    (12/07 13:26:32)Doobes: I’m working to remedy that as well, by and by.

    (12/07 13:26:45)rarified: I again will ask the fan content authors to describe which commands you

    (12/07 13:27:03)rarified: should use to explore these ages. I hope they will put announcements in

    (12/07 13:27:17)rarified: both the MOULa and OpenUru forums when this happens.

    (12/07 13:27:24)Doobes: Works for me. Takes some of the work off your plate. A Good Thing ™. 🙂

    (12/07 13:27:40)rarified: Minkata-alpha will be much more volatile than Minkata. I won’t hesitate

    (12/07 13:27:58)rarified: to rebuild the vault or change/add/remove test ages with almost no advance

    (12/07 13:28:01)rarified: warning.

    (12/07 13:28:26)rarified: As Doobes also mentioned, there currently appeared a problem with the passing

    (12/07 13:28:40)rarified: of some age information between the server and client for the most recent

    (12/07 13:28:52)Korov’ev: This should probably be remarked: these are test shards, wipes are possible and expected.

    (12/07 13:29:00)Doobes: Indeed.

    (12/07 13:29:02)rarified: iteration of the Guild of Messengers Pub (the only test age currently on Minkata-alpha).

    (12/07 13:29:17)Doobes: Well, aside from the bare bones ones Emor and I made. 😛

    (12/07 13:29:33)rarified: I am actively working to locate the problem, so if you visit, don’t be concerned with a Net 6

    (12/07 13:29:53)rarified: or some really bizzare behavior, even in the “normal” ages.

    (12/07 13:30:18)rarified: There were two topics on the OpenUru forums you should read to get an overview

    (12/07 13:30:21)John5: y

    (12/07 13:30:23)rarified: of using Minkata-alpha:

    (12/07 13:30:53)rarified: http://forums.openuru.org/viewtopic.php?f=108&t=1035

    (12/07 13:30:55)rarified: and

    (12/07 13:31:13)rarified: http://forums.openuru.org/viewtopic.php?f=108&t=1020

    (12/07 13:31:39)rarified: Reading those two will tell you how to gain access to, and switch between Minkata and Minkata-alpha.

    (12/07 13:32:07)rarified: Finally, I’d like to mention that there are a couple of fan ages under construction that

    (12/07 13:32:24)Korov’ev: And you will soon start to dread the L key.

    (12/07 13:32:24)rarified: will provide in-game access to these new ages.

    (12/07 13:32:48)rarified: Once those have become available and tested, I’ll start moving fan content into Minkata along

    (12/07 13:33:08)rarified: with the new Nexii or whatever mechanism is designed for fan access.

    (12/07 13:33:36)rarified: That will be the enabling event to start considering when fan content can be considered

    (12/07 13:33:42)rarified: for inclusion in MOULa.

    (12/07 13:34:02)rarified: I know this has been long winded, but there is a lot going on behind the scenes, and

    (12/07 13:34:13)Doobes nods

    (12/07 13:34:30)rarified: it has been the result of excellent coordination between our authors, testers, and lowly me.

    (12/07 13:34:50)Emor D’ni Lap: aw c’mon now raarified

    (12/07 13:34:54)rarified: I want to express my appreciation to Doobes and the GoW for their help. And

    (12/07 13:35:02)Doobes: Aww. 🙂

    (12/07 13:35:15)rarified: we are getting close. Closer than OpenUru time. Closer than Cyan time.

    (12/07 13:35:22)rarified: And with that…

    (12/07 13:35:23)rarified bows

    (12/07 13:35:33)Handyman Henry claps again

    (12/07 13:35:33)PodHopper: Thank you!

    (12/07 13:35:38)Doobes: (I’ve got a bit more for ya, just FYI)

    (12/07 13:35:49)Doobes: So speaking of Ages, work continues on porting Cyan’s into ready-to-export-and-modify files.

    (12/07 13:36:02)Doobes: Chogon has drafted some legal language to include with these files. Once that’s finalized, I hope to post the “base” versions of the blends on GitHub.

    (12/07 13:36:18)rarified: Oh, yes, one more from me too 😀

    (12/07 13:36:24)Doobes: From there, anyone can download the Ages and modify it however they like. Presumably, one could even customize many Ages for their own shard for a sort of “alternate dimension” kind of thing. 😀

    (12/07 13:36:37)Doobes: A “Shard of Dreams” if you will. *nods to Nev’yn from the chatlog* 😛

    (12/07 13:36:59)Korov’ev: <kaboom, tish>

    (12/07 13:37:02)Doobes: The most important point here is this: I know you’ve heard for years about fan Ages and content coming to MOULa, and I know it hasn’t been delivered yet after so many years of promises.

    (12/07 13:37:16)Doobes: Please know that I know how you feel. It can be incredibly frustrating getting your hopes up and continuing to wait.

    (12/07 13:37:34)Doobes: However, as rarified stated, recent developments, along with Cyan’s loosening of the rules with their Ages, has opened things up as they never have been before. Along with Chogon’s help and enthusiasm (seriously, the guy is awesome and wants to see this happen as much as we do!), we are closer now than ever.

    (12/07 13:37:56)Doobes: To put it another way…it’s now not a question of IF…but WHEN.

    (12/07 13:38:10)Doobes: So please…keep the faith alive as you have done so well for so long, my friends. Enjoy the cavern, have the best of times with each other here, keep planning amazing events, continue to donate to the CAVCON as much as you can…because exciting new things ARE coming. And SOON!

    (12/07 13:38:28)Doobes: (That’s a *soon* soon, not a Cyan “Soon” ™ )

    (12/07 13:38:41)Doobes: As always, you can keep up to date on my works at my usual two spots online:

    (12/07 13:38:43)Kayara is cautiously VERY optimistic 🙂

    (12/07 13:38:44)Korov’ev: a Very Soon

    (12/07 13:38:46)Susa’n tingles with anticipation

    (12/07 13:38:48)westar: lol

    (12/07 13:38:50)Doobes: Facebook: https://www.facebooks.com/agesofdoobes

    (12/07 13:38:52)Boywhith: great news!!!

    (12/07 13:39:00)Doobes: Er, *facebook.com LOL!

    (12/07 13:39:11)Doobes: WordPress: https://agesofdoobes.wordpress.com

    (12/07 13:39:21)Doobes: And lastly, another word from rarified. 🙂

    (12/07 13:39:50)rarified: Ok, one more thing. If you have hung around the fan age authors and/or GoW at all,

    (12/07 13:40:14)rarified: you may have heard that building ages is not for resource-challenged computers.

    (12/07 13:40:43)rarified: Not only do the authors need a big computer, but with content comes the need to

    (12/07 13:40:59)rarified: store that content (an archival library, as it were).

    (12/07 13:41:22)rarified: Free access to large quantities of storage is rare. But I happen to have on the OpenUru

    (12/07 13:41:34)rarified: server a fair amount of open space.

    (12/07 13:41:55)rarified: I have offered to establish a repository on the OpenUru server to run in parallel

    (12/07 13:42:17)rarified: with the GoW repositories on github for authors to store their big blend files and/or

    (12/07 13:42:27)rarified: ages as they evolve.

    (12/07 13:42:34)Doobes: Very nice!

    (12/07 13:42:47)rarified: If you are an author, I would encourage you to look for an announcement from Hoikas{Adam}

    (12/07 13:42:47)Korov’ev: Yay!

    (12/07 13:42:58)rarified: and I when this is set up and tested.

    (12/07 13:43:16)rarified: So there, github. Pfffft.

    (12/07 13:43:21)Doobes: LOL!

    (12/07 13:43:25)Korov’ev: heh

    (12/07 13:43:31)Emor D’ni Lap: haha

    (12/07 13:43:44)rarified: Ready for questions?

    (12/07 13:43:44)Korov’ev: Time for a few (quick) questions, I’d say.

    (12/07 13:43:49)Doobes: I’m ready.

    (12/07 13:44:02)Korov’ev: Our next question is from Emor D’ni Lap.

    (12/07 13:44:02)Korov’ev: [Emor D’ni Lap] Q: will the New GoMe Pub have a general beta-testing stage on the main Minkata server/shard?

    (12/07 13:44:15)Doobes looks to rarified

    (12/07 13:44:23)Doobes: I’m guessing so, but it’s rarified’s call. 😉

    (12/07 13:44:36)rarified: As I mentioned, I’m going to hold off moving fan ages to Minkata until we have the first versions of

    (12/07 13:44:52)rarified: a Nexus or Linking book to get to those fan ages.

    (12/07 13:45:09)Korov’ev: Our next question is from Lutra.

    (12/07 13:45:09)Korov’ev: [Lutra] So, Minkata-alpha is alpha, and Minkata is beta?

    (12/07 13:45:14)Doobes: That was one of the two new Ages I mentioned earlier.

    (12/07 13:45:14)rarified: In that regard, I’ll keep Minkata clear for any code changes that we may need to send to Cyan.

    (12/07 13:45:30)rarified: Minkata-alpha is the first testing stop for fan ages.

    (12/07 13:45:33)Emor D’ni Lap: Okay then, a couple more points if I may?

    (12/07 13:45:36)rarified: (Alpha if you prefer)

    (12/07 13:45:38)Korov’ev: I think there’s one more step 😉

    (12/07 13:45:56)Doobes: The last stop before MOULa is Cyan’s staging server.

    (12/07 13:46:05)Emor D’ni Lap: I’d guess that the same would be true for the Cyan shard here:

    (12/07 13:46:06)rarified: Minkata is the place where everything being sent to Cyan is blended (pun) together.

    (12/07 13:46:10)Korov’ev: Let’s answer the logged questions first

    (12/07 13:46:23)Doobes nods

    (12/07 13:46:28)Emor D’ni Lap: We would need an access point first, and that would have to be tested on Minkata as well

    (12/07 13:46:28)Doobes: They waited patiently. 🙂

    (12/07 13:46:41)rarified: So what is on Minkata, is what will be sent to Cyan on the next delivery.

    (12/07 13:46:53)Doobes: Again, namely their staging server.

    (12/07 13:47:15)Korov’ev: Our next question is from Boywhith.

    (12/07 13:47:16)Korov’ev: [Boywhith] How much % chance there is some of that new content is in MOULa within a year, you think?

    (12/07 13:47:21)Emor D’ni Lap: right, but as you said, content won’t jusmp from Alpha to Cyan Staging directly

    (12/07 13:47:25)rarified: Does that (multiplexed) answer your question?

    (12/07 13:47:34)Doobes: If I have any say, 100%. 🙂

    (12/07 13:47:54)rarified: @Boywhith I can’t give a percentage, and Doobes is a member of the eternal optimist club.

    (12/07 13:47:54)Doobes: Chogon has been very enthusiastic about this as well. He’s the key to it all, I’d say.

    (12/07 13:48:09)rarified: But we will do everything we can to make this happen.

    (12/07 13:48:11)Doobes: Plus, Cyan letting us tinker with their toys doesn’t hurt either, so they should get some credit too.

    (12/07 13:48:12)Boywhith: 100%… is that realistic?

    (12/07 13:48:22)Korov’ev: Our next question is from radioflux.

    (12/07 13:48:22)Korov’ev: [radioflux] Is someone actively working on the path to the tree in the Watcher’s Pub? (If so, with Cyan’s blessing?)

    (12/07 13:48:32)rarified: It’s in the possible solution space.

    (12/07 13:48:33)Doobes: Yes. Things have been moving that much behind the scenes.

    (12/07 13:48:49)Korov’ev: Our next question is from Kayara.

    (12/07 13:48:49)Korov’ev: [Kayara] Speaking of a linking book: Any updates on the labrary age (sorry if I missed them) ?

    (12/07 13:49:07)Korov’ev: Doobes’ or Sevkor?

    (12/07 13:49:08)Doobes: Not that I’m aware of, radioflux. The beauty of the files I’m porting is that anyone can have a crack at them.

    (12/07 13:49:14)rarified: There are a couple of authors in the audience… 😉

    (12/07 13:49:42)Doobes: I’m very close to finishing mine. I’ve got it working in Destiny, which is where I usually test before sending it out into the wild.

    (12/07 13:49:52)Handyman Henry: Ok

    (12/07 13:50:03)Doobes: Luckily, it’ll only require a slight modification of a Python file to get it to fully work…hopefully. 😉

    (12/07 13:50:35)Korov’ev: We should move on, so a few more questions then you can talk with the speakers later…

    (12/07 13:50:36)Doobes: Right now, it’s mostly the look of the Age that needs to be finalized…need to beat it up to age it a bit (no pun intended).

    (12/07 13:50:48)Kayara: woohoo!

    (12/07 13:50:56)rarified: Ok, any more for us?

    (12/07 13:51:01)Korov’ev: Our next question is from Lutra.

    (12/07 13:51:01)Korov’ev: [Lutra] A bit off topic, but do they know if Korman can work on Linux?

    (12/07 13:51:02)Doobes: Feel free to boot us off if we’re holding everyone up, Kor. 😉

    (12/07 13:51:19)Doobes: Er…not sure? Sadly, that’s a question for the GoW crew.

    (12/07 13:51:35)Lutra: k, thanks.

    (12/07 13:51:44)Emor D’ni Lap: I do have a point to make here

    (12/07 13:51:47)Doobes: All those brilliant programmers. 🙂

    (12/07 13:51:48)rarified: I don’t see a technical reason. But of course you will need to test your age on a Windows client.

    (12/07 13:51:54)Korov’ev: A quick one, please

    (12/07 13:52:11)Emor D’ni Lap: sorry, not quick enough

    (12/07 13:52:32)rarified: Ok. Thanks for listening all, and keep up the faith!

    (12/07 13:52:40)Doobes: Thanks everyone!

    (12/07 13:52:42)Doobes bows

    (12/07 13:53:07)Doobes: Sorry we hogged most of the meeting. 😛

    (12/07 13:53:13)Handyman Henry says ‘Yikes’ they need food

    (12/07 13:53:26)rarified: My trail mix bowl is empty.

    (12/07 13:53:26)Korov’ev: Speaking of fan creations,

    (12/07 13:53:31)PodHopper: doobes: it was well worth it

    (12/07 13:53:34)Korov’ev: a week ago Mystitech Prod. (which I happen to be part of) has released Episode 8, “Schisms”, of their machinima series “The Lost Art”:

    (12/07 13:53:37)aqua: Yeah good stuff!

    (12/07 13:53:42)Korov’ev: https://youtu.be/RDevUmdvcfY

    (12/07 13:53:51)Korov’ev: In the last episode, we had a mysterious egg, shared dreams, and Thomas’ new assistant turned up to be not exactly human. What’s next?

    (12/07 13:54:07)Korov’ev: Stay tuned for more plot twists Very Soon!

    (12/07 13:54:11)Doobes: Yay!

    (12/07 13:54:27)rarified: A Christmas episode? 🙂

    (12/07 13:54:31)Korov’ev: December 28, in fact, when Episode 9 will be released — as a Premiere event, during which you’ll be able to chat with the creators live.

    (12/07 13:54:49)Doobes: Nice!

    (12/07 13:55:09)Claidi Song says “Cool”

    (12/07 13:55:10)shokhootahn Rehn: Cool!

    (12/07 13:55:21)Korov’ev: v

    (12/07 13:55:24)Korov’ev: Time for some Cyan news:

    (12/07 13:55:44)Korov’ev: (if you haven’t subscribed to the official newsletter, you can do it from https://cyan.com/mailing-list/)

    (12/07 13:56:09)Korov’ev: If you’re online…

    (12/07 13:56:13)Korov’ev says DOH!

    (12/07 13:56:22)Korov’ev: You must have noticed that the client has been updated, for the first time in years!

    (12/07 13:56:31)Handyman Henry: mysted it by that much

    (12/07 13:56:35)Korov’ev: Some people had problems updating: usually the issue is that the client is unable to replace itself; temporarily launching it with admin privileges should fix the problem.

    (12/07 13:56:40)Doobes: Dusted the cobwebs off it, they did. XD

    (12/07 13:56:44)Korov’ev: (though you should consider moving the game folder away from Program Files)

    (12/07 13:57:08)Korov’ev: If the client crashes, it could be PhysX, or some missing DLL. You should visit the MOUL forums for more troubleshooting,

    (12/07 13:57:19)Korov’ev: For example, https://mystonline.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=28534

    (12/07 13:57:38)Korov’ev: Moving on…

    (12/07 13:57:46)Korov’ev: On November 26, it was announced that Cyan Ventures acquired the tabletop roleplaying game “Unwritten: Adventures in the Ages of Myst and Beyond”, by Inkworks Productions, one of the first 3rd party works in the D’ni universe since Myst IV: Revelation.

    (12/07 13:58:13)Korov’ev: Small revisions will be made to the existing Unwritten manuscript to reflect the new ownership, and the revised version will be available in the future from the Cyan Store, as well as from DriveThruRPG.

    (12/07 13:58:40)Korov’ev: Future versions of the Unwritten core rule book, future supplements, or other related products will be published by Cyan Ventures, in partnership with Inkworks, which will remain the primary developer for the Unwritten product line.

    (12/07 13:58:54)Korov’ev: For more info: https://cyan.com/cyan-ventures-acquires-unwritten-adventures-in-the-ages-of-myst-and-beyond/

    (12/07 13:59:13)Korov’ev: In other news, December is Lexember, and Cyan has been releasing some new D’ni words – with a phonetic transcription too! – through their Twitter account [https://twitter.com/cyanworlds].

    (12/07 13:59:14)rarified: That’s a mouthful of URL.

    (12/07 13:59:39)Korov’ev: long and memorable!

    (12/07 13:59:44)Korov’ev: somewhat…

    (12/07 13:59:45)Doobes: Thank goodness for chatlogs!

    (12/07 14:00:01)Korov’ev: So far, they’ve released: ADVUH, n. arch; TAYGAHN, v. to love deeply, with the whole mind; BOL, n. brother; B’RISH, adv. very, so (lit. ‘to twenty’); DAHGO, n. hammer (derived from DAHG, v. “to strike”); ELIOYKHETS, adj. gusty; EDER, v. to rest / n. a moment of rest (used in naming Garden Ages).

    (12/07 14:00:24)Korov’ev has Cyan’s Twitter page open right now, just in case they post another one

    (12/07 14:00:41)Korov’ev: Now, some news from Mysterium 2020!

    (12/07 14:00:48)Handyman Henry: Who uses Twiter?

    (12/07 14:00:58)Korov’ev: Cyan

    (12/07 14:01:08)Korov’ev: Submissions for art designs are now open! There will be four categories: T-shirt, pins, activity book, writing & artwork table. Deadlines will be staggered through early-to-mid 2020.

    (12/07 14:01:13)Kayara sends mental message to Cyan: wait untill one minute after meeting closes 😛

    (12/07 14:01:31)Korov’ev: (they probably will)

    (12/07 14:01:38)Korov’ev: For the T-shirts, the Triumvirate encourages you to incorporate Sirrus vs Achenar, Red vs Blue, Haven and Spire, etc. into your design. Feel free to also tie in the host city of Washington, DC.

    (12/07 14:02:06)Korov’ev: Did I mention the next Mysterium is organized by a Triumvirate?

    (12/07 14:02:14)Korov’ev: If your design is selected, you will receive a free Mysterium shirt! The deadline for this will be February 16, 2020. Details for the submission at https://mysterium.net/submissions/t-shirt-design-submissions/

    (12/07 14:02:30)Korov’ev: For the pins, they are once again planning a set of enamel ones. Pin design is an easier and faster process than shirts. The deadline for these will be March 15, 2020. Details for the submission at https://mysterium.net/submissions/pin-design-submissions/

    (12/07 14:02:41)Korov’ev: For the activity books, which are the new thing for 2020, you can create a coloring book page, a word search, a crossword puzzle, etc. The deadline is April 19, 2020. Details for the submission at https://mysterium.net/submissions/activity-book-submissions/

    (12/07 14:02:52)Korov’ev: Lastly, for the writing & artwork table, you’ll be able to showcase your Cyan-related artwork or writing. Details can be found here. All content must be in by July 31, 2020. Details for the submission at https://mysterium.net/submissions/writing-art-table-submissions/

    (12/07 14:03:14)Korov’ev needs a moment to breathe!

    (12/07 14:03:25)Doobes hads Kor a glass of water

    (12/07 14:03:28)Korov’ev: And now, an update from r’Tayrtahn, aka Shokhootahn Rehn!

    (12/07 14:04:16)Korov’ev: Rehn! On stage!

    (12/07 14:04:23)Doobes: Hehehe.

    (12/07 14:04:57)shokhootahn Rehn: I have two separate announcements. One is for the D’ni Language Class and the other one is for r’Tayrtahn’s Story Night.

    (12/07 14:05:16)shokhootahn Rehn: First, the language classes…

    (12/07 14:05:39)shokhootahn Rehn: On the surface, I have finished moving. Yay!!! I am still putting things away and finding forever homes for everything after my recent move. As a result there will not be any daytime classes until further notice. They *should* be able to return sometime in the winter. Night time classes, however, are unaffected.

    (12/07 14:05:58)shokhootahn Rehn: As always, current students can find last-minute updates to class times on the left-hand imager.

    (12/07 14:06:24)shokhootahn Rehn: Also, I use Magic Bot’s (KI #27527) advertisements (when he’s on) to announce last-minute changes to class times.

    (12/07 14:06:41)shokhootahn Rehn: You can get those advertisements by adding him as a buddy and then sending him a PM with the word: advert

    (12/07 14:07:02)shokhootahn Rehn: If Magic Bot is not on-line, you can also PM Mimi Bot (KI #71459) the word, as well.

    (12/07 14:07:26)shokhootahn Rehn: The Guild of Instructors’ Hood will be open and public unless a class is in session. I will announce the availability of daytime classes on the Hood imager when they are ready to resume.

    (12/07 14:07:53)shokhootahn Rehn: There are evening classes avaible on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday nights, starting at either 20:00 KI time or 21:00 KI time, depending on the student’s schedule.

    (12/07 14:08:10)shokhootahn Rehn: Are there any questions?

    (12/07 14:08:19)Korov’ev: None in queue

    (12/07 14:08:35)shokhootahn Rehn: The second announcement is about r’Taytahn’s Story Night.

    (12/07 14:09:06)shokhootahn Rehn: Due to my traveling, Story Night – Europe is at a different stage of the history than is original Story Night.

    (12/07 14:09:44)shokhootahn Rehn: I’d like to thank Mirphak and NikkiMay for their invaluable help with the bi-annual Bahro Glyph Tour this year!

    (12/07 14:10:22)shokhootahn Rehn: Last week for Story Night – Europe, we Started the story arc with the D’ni creation story, the pre-history, and the story of the firt king, Ri’neref. Today, and for the next 32 weeks, we will hear the stories of the kings.

    (12/07 14:10:57)shokhootahn Rehn: *first

    (12/07 14:11:11)shokhootahn Rehn: For original Story Night, we will finish with part 5 of the fan fiction “Jae’s Journey”.

    (12/07 14:11:11)Korov’ev: the flirt King

    (12/07 14:11:34)shokhootahn Rehn: lol

    (12/07 14:11:40)shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night is held in the public neighborhood of Tsahno’s Hood every Saturday.

    (12/07 14:12:02)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.

    (12/07 14:12:27)shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night – Europe is held at 14:00 KI time on Saturday afternoon. We start gathering at the hood’s fountain starting at 13:30 KI time except for AGM Saturdays, when it starts at 14:00 KI or 30 minutes after the AGM, whichever is later. Again, I use Magic Bot to advertise changes to Story Night times for both Europe and original.

    (12/07 14:13:09)shokhootahn Rehn: Times for original Story Night (Saturdays at 23:30 KI time) are unaffected by my traveling. However, they are affected by power outages due to thunderstorms… which, unfortunately, ’tis always the season. Should this be the case, I will try to aprise one or two of my regular audience members of the situation so they can spread the news. 🙂

    (12/07 14:13:33)shokhootahn Rehn: The stories are told using voice so you will need to have your speakers or headsets on.

    (12/07 14:13:56)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 so it must be added to the body of the text.

    (12/07 14:14:23)shokhootahn Rehn: YOU *MUST* INCLUDE YOUR KI NUMBER IN THE BODY OF THE MAIL TO BE ADDED!

    (12/07 14:14:38)shokhootahn Rehn: Some have sent messages to be added but have not included their KI mail so they were unable to be added.

    (12/07 14:15:00)shokhootahn Rehn: Also, I use Magic Bot’s (KI #27527) advertisements to announce last-minute changes to Story Night times.

    (12/07 14:15:27)shokhootahn Rehn: Again, Story Night – Europe will begin 30 minutes after the conclusion of today’s AGM.

    (12/07 14:15:40)shokhootahn Rehn: We hope to see you there!

    (12/07 14:16:03)shokhootahn Rehn: Any questions?

    (12/07 14:16:14)Korov’ev: None in queue

    (12/07 14:16:24)shokhootahn Rehn bows

    (12/07 14:16:24)Korov’ev: Thank you Rehn!

    (12/07 14:17:14)Korov’ev: I forgot to mention: the Lost Art premiere is tentatively set for Dec 28 at 13:30 KI time

    (12/07 14:17:31)Korov’ev: But it may change 🙂

    (12/07 14:17:39)Korov’ev shrugs

    (12/07 14:17:39)Korov’ev: And with that, it’s time to wrap up this Meeting!

    (12/07 14:17:45)Korov’ev: Here is the summary of this month’s events (times in KI time)…
