  • All Guilds Meeting – November 2019 – Raw Chatlog

    (11/02 13:00:32) Korov'ev: Alright, it's time!
    (11/02 13:00:33) Melm: good evening
    (11/02 13:00:36) MichaelJO2: Don't be nervous Korov. We're only scrutinizing everything you say. lol
    (11/02 13:00:42) Korov'ev: Shorah, and welcome to the 115th All Guilds Meeting!
    (11/02 13:00:42) philipgr: Good eveing MirPak
    (11/02 13:00:47) Doobes cheers
    (11/02 13:00:50) Korov'ev: In the D'ni calendar today is Leevofo 11, 9675, and the time is 2:03:03
    (11/02 13:00:52) Claidi Song cheers
    (11/02 13:01:12) Korov'ev: 1:04:01, actually
    (11/02 13:01:26) Korov'ev: If there's anyone new: welcome to the Cavern! You picked the best time to visit πŸ™‚
    (11/02 13:01:28) MichaelJO2: πŸ™‚
    (11/02 13:01:35) Korov'ev: As usual, I'll remind you the 5 Meeting Rules:
    (11/02 13:01:43) 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.
    (11/02 13:01:48) 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.
    (11/02 13:01:58) Korov'ev: 3. Speakers, please indicate when you are done speaking and ready for questions, and when you're ready for the next question.
    (11/02 13:01:59) CaptainQuery (I'm on the surface, be back in a minute):
    (11/02 13:02:06) 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.
    (11/02 13:02:15) 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/
    (11/02 13:02:22) Korov'ev: Of course, you can start your own chatlog with "/startlog".
    (11/02 13:02:34) Korov'ev: Right!
    (11/02 13:02:37) Korov'ev: Are you still struggling with the mouse bug in Win 10?
    (11/02 13:02:45) Korov'ev: On Monday, Sirius announced his improved fix for the issue!
    (11/02 13:02:54) Doobes: YES!
    (11/02 13:02:58) Korov'ev: The UruHook is no longer required, you drop a DLL in a folder inside MOULa's one and just forget about it.
    (11/02 13:03:07) Korov'ev: Keep in mind, when the client will be patched, you'll need to remove it or you'll get the problem back.
    (11/02 13:03:16) Korov'ev: It will also likely conflict with other hooks like ReShade.
    (11/02 13:03:23) Korov'ev: Download and source links in the thread: https://mystonline.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=430368#p430368
    (11/02 13:03:38) Korov'ev: Meanwhile, Max is back with his Sunday Music Sessions!
    (11/02 13:03:42) Korov'ev claps his hands

    (11/02 13:05:16) Max: Sunday Dec. 1st… A X-mas Special Session… With Seasonal or Holiday Tunes, not maybe in versions you've been used to hear them…
    (11/02 13:05:34) Max: Broadcast times 13:00 to 17:00 KI Time… Location: City & Hall of Kings… As always… Requests or suggestions for tracks to play are welcome…
    (11/02 13:05:50) Max: that's all for now… vielen danke
    (11/02 13:05:53) Max bows
    (11/02 13:05:57) Claidi Song claps her hands
    (11/02 13:05:59) marimel claps her hands
    (11/02 13:06:00) Korov'ev claps his hands
    (11/02 13:06:00) Korov'ev: Thank you Max!
    (11/02 13:06:00) MindWalker claps his hands
    (11/02 13:06:01) rarified claps his hands
    (11/02 13:06:02) Minasunda claps her hands
    (11/02 13:06:03) MorganLapahie claps her hands
    (11/02 13:06:03) PodHopper claps his hands
    (11/02 13:06:03) philipgr claps his hands
    (11/02 13:06:04) Melm claps her hands
    (11/02 13:06:06) Eternal Seeker claps his hands
    (11/02 13:06:08) Doobes claps his hands
    (11/02 13:06:16) Korov'ev: And now… a survey! http://bit.ly/uru_survey
    (11/02 13:06:26) Korov'ev: The Guild of Writers would like to get a better picture of the Community and the game.
    (11/02 13:06:37) Korov'ev: It won't take you much time, it's completely anonymous (so don't cheat and answer more than once!),
    (11/02 13:06:53) Korov'ev: and above all it will be of great help for the grey hats, to better focus their priorites.
    (11/02 13:07:01) Korov'ev: The results will of course be made public.
    (11/02 13:07:10) Korov'ev: If you saw a poll from me yesterday, sorry for asking again but please take this survey, it's much more useful πŸ™‚
    (11/02 13:07:19) Korov'ev: The link again: http://bit.ly/uru_survey
    (11/02 13:07:28) Korov'ev: Also, last Saturday Korman 0.09 was released, with a slew of fixes and updates!
    (11/02 13:07:32) Emor D'ni Lap: please let others know about this poll!
    (11/02 13:07:37) Korov'ev: It has 35 commits and about 1000 lines changed, including:
    (11/02 13:07:47) Korov'ev: * added the ability to create and link new Logic Nodes from each node socket;
    (11/02 13:07:54) Korov'ev: * added the "GatherBuild" asset control file to exported MOUL age packages;
    (11/02 13:08:01) Korov'ev: * changed Logic Node trees to be safe to reuse in multiple Advanced Logic modifiers without specifying specific nodes;
    (11/02 13:08:11) Korov'ev: and many more I'm very convincingly pretending to understand πŸ™‚
    (11/02 13:08:17) Doobes: LOL!
    (11/02 13:08:22) Korov'ev: Korman is not yet compatible with Blender 2.80: it requires 2.79b.
    (11/02 13:08:24) Claidi Song starts to laugh
    (11/02 13:08:25) Agnar starts to laugh
    (11/02 13:08:29) Korov'ev: For more info, check the thread: https://forum.guildofwriters.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=7031
    (11/02 13:08:33) Max: very convincing…
    (11/02 13:08:36) Doobes: All I know is they fixed things well enough to where I can't break 'em again.
    (11/02 13:08:43) Max: can you take that again…?
    (11/02 13:08:45) Korov'ev: Speaking of fan Ages, we have some news from: Doobes!
    (11/02 13:08:48) Korov'ev claps his hands
    (11/02 13:08:51) Claidi Song claps her hands
    (11/02 13:08:55) Max claps his hands
    (11/02 13:08:55) thoekenem claps his hands
    (11/02 13:08:56) rarified claps his hands
    (11/02 13:08:56) MorganLapahie claps her hands
    (11/02 13:08:56) Mirphak claps his hands
    (11/02 13:08:57) Minasunda claps her hands
    (11/02 13:08:59) Doobes salutes
    (11/02 13:09:01) MichaelJO2 claps his hands
    (11/02 13:09:01) MindWalker claps his hands
    (11/02 13:09:02) PodHopper claps his hands
    (11/02 13:09:05) Eternal Seeker claps his hands
    (11/02 13:09:08) philipgr claps his hands
    (11/02 13:09:12) Doobes: Hey everyone! I'm back…and for once, I have news. πŸ˜›
    (11/02 13:09:14) Korov'ev: WHo can also anwer questions about the last two things!
    (11/02 13:09:16) Agnar holds his breath
    (11/02 13:09:34) Doobes: The first bit is related to Chogon's recent announcement of opening up the MOUL files for updating and modification.
    (11/02 13:09:45) Doobes: https://mystonline.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=29200
    (11/02 13:09:56) Doobes: If you haven't read about it yet, Cyan has given the go-ahead to modify their MOUL assets.
    (11/02 13:10:02) Agnar cheers
    (11/02 13:10:10) Doobes: This is big news for those of us in the Age building community, as we've been wanting to do this for years.
    (11/02 13:10:15) Claidi Song thinks wow
    (11/02 13:10:24) Doobes: The only down side is Cyan has chosen not to provide the original Max files, which is, of course, their prerogative.
    (11/02 13:10:35) Doobes: That leaves it up to us to reverse-engineer these Ages for modification.
    (11/02 13:10:44) Max: that's… not 'me'!
    (11/02 13:10:47) Doobes: So in that spirit, I have begun the process of converting some of the Ages to Korman-ready files for Blender!
    (11/02 13:11:04) Agnar cheers
    (11/02 13:11:06) Doobes: I've experimented on two so far: K'veer and the original GoMe Pub.
    (11/02 13:11:26) Doobes: I should mention that this was made possible by the work of Sirius, the aforementioned brilliant programmer who not only released the handy Windows 10 mouse fix, but also developed the next generation of PRP importer called the ZLZ URU Importer.
    (11/02 13:11:45) Doobes: This handy little tool imports everything almost perfectly into Blender 2.79 for wiring with Korman. There are a few things that need to be adjusted, but Sirius has detailed all that in a handy wiki page on the Guild of Writers website.
    (11/02 13:12:01) Doobes: https://www.guildofwriters.org/wiki/ZLZ_Age_Importer
    (11/02 13:12:16) Doobes: Note that I have also successfully tested this on Myst V Ages as well. Even discovered there's an Urwin hiding in Direbo. πŸ˜›
    (11/02 13:12:32) Doobes: Many, MANY thanks to Sirius for the amazing work!
    (11/02 13:12:37) Agnar claps his hands
    (11/02 13:12:42) Korov'ev claps his hands
    (11/02 13:12:43) jtrigg claps his hands
    (11/02 13:12:44) MorganLapahie claps her hands
    (11/02 13:12:49) Max: we give him a Badge..?!
    (11/02 13:12:50) Am Nesia is amazed!
    (11/02 13:12:50) PodHopper claps his hands
    (11/02 13:12:51) Claidi Song claps her hands
    (11/02 13:12:51) marimel claps her hands
    (11/02 13:12:52) Melm claps her hands
    (11/02 13:12:52) Minasunda claps her hands
    (11/02 13:12:53) Eternal Seeker claps his hands
    (11/02 13:12:56) Mirphak claps his hands
    (11/02 13:12:57) Doobes: We should, Max. πŸ˜€
    (11/02 13:13:00) MindWalker cheers
    (11/02 13:13:06) Doobes: My goal is to get these Ages 1 to 1 with their Max counterparts using Korman…or as close as I can.
    (11/02 13:13:08) philipgr claps his hands
    (11/02 13:13:20) Doobes: Then…assuming Cyan needs to look at them first…I will release them to the public so anyone can take a crack at improving upon them.
    (11/02 13:13:30) Claidi Song thanks you
    (11/02 13:13:36) Doobes: My first goal will be the original Guild Pubs…as they're "easiest".
    (11/02 13:13:41) Agnar: thanks very much Doobes
    (11/02 13:13:49) Doobes: Which is a relative term when you're rewiring Cyan's good work. πŸ˜€
    (11/02 13:13:56) Agnar starts to laugh
    (11/02 13:14:10) Doobes: Also, I certainly don't have the monopoly on this, so if anyone would also like to pitch in, I would very much encourage you to do so! Plus, if you find any Korman bugs in the process, you can pass them along to the GoW as well.
    (11/02 13:14:28) Doobes: Note that there's still a few things needed to get the Ages exactly 1 to 1 with their originals, so it might take time for the more complicated Ages (like Ae'gura).
    (11/02 13:14:40) Emor D'ni Lap: yikes
    (11/02 13:14:44) Doobes: Also, this is still uncharted waters, so we'll be working as closely as we can with Cyan to make sure we're doing all this according to their wishes.
    (11/02 13:14:58) Am Nesia: M.D.G.A. Make D'ni Great Again
    (11/02 13:15:01) Doobes: Next up, my own work!
    (11/02 13:15:05) Korov'ev: Most likely there will be some kind of selection process.
    (11/02 13:15:38) Doobes: Most likely, Kor. Presumably it'll be up to the shard owners.
    (11/02 13:15:45) Korov'ev is dreaming about: a working Wall, the Watcher's Pub puzzle, proper D'ni on the Hood lanterns, perhaps access to the Palace courtyard and the Tokota II roof, maybe a rubble-free Kahlo pub…
    (11/02 13:15:53) Doobes: As you may or may not know, I've been working on a little Age called Veelay Tsahvahn, aka the memorial Age.
    (11/02 13:15:58) Korov'ev: Please continue πŸ™‚
    (11/02 13:16:08) Doobes: It's an extension of the memorial you've seen in Kahlo Pub in the city and is a place we can gather to remember and mourn those explorers who have passed away.
    (11/02 13:16:22) Am Nesia claps his hands
    (11/02 13:16:27) Calisia claps her hands
    (11/02 13:16:33) Doobes: Recently, we've lost a few more good people…including one that hit rather close to home for me: Tai'lahr.
    (11/02 13:16:46) Doobes: Tai was an irreplacable part of this community and was a perfect example of what was truly great about coming here.
    (11/02 13:16:46) Am Nesia is sorta bummed…
    (11/02 13:17:01) Doobes: She was active in a great many things, including creating a wiki page that greatly expanded upon the names on the aforementioned Kahlo Pub memorial.
    (11/02 13:17:02)
    (11/02 13:17:17) Doobes: Her input and encouragement was instrumental in getting Veelay off the ground, so it's only fitting that it be one of the first Ages I plan to submit to Cyan for MOULa.
    (11/02 13:17:33) Doobes: In this way, her name will be further immortalized in the game she loved…as will all the others who went far too soon.
    (11/02 13:17:41) Agnar is sad
    (11/02 13:17:48) Doobes: Names like Zardoz, CAGrayWolf, Gorma O’Conner, sil-oh-wet, oldmanjob…this will be another small token of our appreciation for what they all meant to us.
    (11/02 13:18:05) Doobes: I’ve redoubled my efforts to finish the Age and plan to submit it to a few choice people to go over and scrutinize before sending things off to Cyan to test on the staging shard.
    (11/02 13:18:24) Doobes: From there, it’ll just be a matter of figuring out how to allow access to the Age (ie where the book will go). We’ll see.
    (11/02 13:18:40) Doobes: Until then, keep checking back at my website: http://agesofdoobes.wordpress.com
    (11/02 13:18:50) Doobes: Or at my facebook page, http://www.facebook.com/agesofdoobes
    (11/02 13:19:06) Doobes: And that’s all I’ve got. Any questions?
    (11/02 13:19:25) Agnar: when do you sleep?
    (11/02 13:19:29) Korov’ev: none in queue
    (11/02 13:19:41) Doobes: Whenever I can, Agnar. Hehehe.
    (11/02 13:19:45) Agnar starts to laugh
    (11/02 13:20:02) Doobes: Things will continue to develop over the next few months, so keep checking around the forums and such.
    (11/02 13:20:10) Doobes: Uh oh…did Kor pop?
    (11/02 13:20:57) Korov’ev: oops
    (11/02 13:21:00) Doobes: Well, uh…hmm…
    (11/02 13:21:12) Doobes: Kor? Is that you? Do you see a light, my friend?
    (11/02 13:21:15) Doobes grins
    (11/02 13:21:18) Calisia: SSD???
    (11/02 13:21:20) Emor D’ni Lap: wow
    (11/02 13:21:27) shokhootahn Rehn: wb Kor
    (11/02 13:21:28) Doobes is relieved
    (11/02 13:21:30) Claidi Song: Wb
    (11/02 13:21:31) Calisia: WB
    (11/02 13:21:34) Emor D’ni Lap: impressive trick, Ko’!
    (11/02 13:21:34) Root Beer: wb
    (11/02 13:21:39) Korov’ev: Sorry, a passing train πŸ™‚
    (11/02 13:21:44) Doobes: He’s doing magic tricks now. Hehehe.
    (11/02 13:21:49) Doobes: Anyway, thanks everyone!

    (11/02 13:22:27) Korov’ev: You heard about Tai’lahr from Doobes.
    (11/02 13:22:34) Korov’ev: Tai’lahr’s passing was preceded by a few days by that of explorer June “JuneTMP” Shaputis.
    (11/02 13:22:45) Korov’ev: I have been semi-officially put in charge of the memorial wiki page on OpenUru.org: http://wiki.openuru.org/index.php?title=In_Memoriam

    (11/02 13:32:09) shokhootahn Rehn: First, the language classes…
    (11/02 13:33:26) 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 winter. Night time classes, however, are unaffected.

    (11/02 13:40:49) shokhootahn Rehn: Due to my traveling, Story Night – Europe is at a different stage of the history than is original Story Night.
    (11/02 13:40:58) shokhootahn Rehn: For Story Night – Europe, we will finish with the story of the Restoration.
    (11/02 13:41:06) shokhootahn Rehn: (tonight)
    (11/02 13:41:26) shokhootahn Rehn: Next week, November 9, will be the start of the bi-annual Bahro Glyph Tour! The tour will last for two weeks, finishing on November 16.

    (11/02 13:44:00) 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. πŸ™‚
    (11/02 13:44:24) shokhootahn Rehn: The stories are told using voice so you will need to have your speakers or headsets on.

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.

    (11/02 13:00:50)Korov’ev: In the D’ni calendar today is Leevofo 11, 9675, and the time is 2:03:03

    (11/02 13:01:12)Korov’ev: 1:04:01, actually

    (11/02 13:01:26)Korov’ev: If there’s anyone new: welcome to the Cavern! You picked the best time to visit πŸ™‚

    (11/02 13:01:28)MichaelJO2: πŸ™‚

    (11/02 13:01:35)Korov’ev: As usual, I’ll remind you the 5 Meeting Rules:

    (11/02 13:01:43)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.

    (11/02 13:01:48)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.

    (11/02 13:01:58)Korov’ev: 3. Speakers, please indicate when you are done speaking and ready for questions, and when you’re ready for the next question.

    (11/02 13:01:59)CaptainQuery (I’m on the surface, be back in a minute):

    (11/02 13:02:06)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.

    (11/02 13:02:15)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/

    (11/02 13:02:22)Korov’ev: Of course, you can start your own chatlog with “/startlog”.

    (11/02 13:02:34)Korov’ev: Right!

    (11/02 13:02:37)Korov’ev: Are you still struggling with the mouse bug in Win 10?

    (11/02 13:02:45)Korov’ev: On Monday, Sirius announced his improved fix for the issue!

    (11/02 13:02:54)Doobes: YES!

    (11/02 13:02:58)Korov’ev: The UruHook is no longer required, you drop a DLL in a folder inside MOULa’s one and just forget about it.

    (11/02 13:03:07)Korov’ev: Keep in mind, when the client will be patched, you’ll need to remove it or you’ll get the problem back.

    (11/02 13:03:16)Korov’ev: It will also likely conflict with other hooks like ReShade.

    (11/02 13:03:23)Korov’ev: Download and source links in the thread: https://mystonline.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=430368#p430368

    (11/02 13:03:38)Korov’ev: Meanwhile, Max is back with his Sunday Music Sessions!

    (11/02 13:03:46)Max: uh…

    (11/02 13:03:55)Korov’ev: Yes, your turn!

    (11/02 13:03:56)Eternal Seeker: clap

    (11/02 13:04:16)Max: So… The Sunday Music Sessions, each one with a different Theme, will continue… And as for now, the planned dates are as follows:

    (11/02 13:04:45)Max: Sunday Nov. 3rd (tomorrow)… Themed ‘Chasing Ghosts…’ A Post-Halloween Party…

    (11/02 13:05:00)Max: Sunday Nov. 17th… MO:UL (Prologue) Anniversary… A Dance Party with mostly music from the 2000s. As Prologue was released Nov. 17th 2003…

    (11/02 13:05:16)Max: Sunday Dec. 1st… A X-mas Special Session… With Seasonal or Holiday Tunes, not maybe in versions you’ve been used to hear them…

    (11/02 13:05:34)Max: Broadcast times 13:00 to 17:00 KI Time… Location: City & Hall of Kings… As always… Requests or suggestions for tracks to play are welcome…

    (11/02 13:05:50)Max: that’s all for now… vielen danke

    (11/02 13:05:53)Max bows

    (11/02 13:06:00)Korov’ev: Thank you Max!

    (11/02 13:06:16)Korov’ev: And now… a survey! http://bit.ly/uru_survey

    (11/02 13:06:26)Korov’ev: The Guild of Writers would like to get a better picture of the Community and the game.

    (11/02 13:06:37)Korov’ev: It won’t take you much time, it’s completely anonymous (so don’t cheat and answer more than once!),

    (11/02 13:06:53)Korov’ev: and above all it will be of great help for the grey hats, to better focus their priorites.

    (11/02 13:07:01)Korov’ev: The results will of course be made public.

    (11/02 13:07:10)Korov’ev: If you saw a poll from me yesterday, sorry for asking again but please take this survey, it’s much more useful πŸ™‚

    (11/02 13:07:19)Korov’ev: The link again: http://bit.ly/uru_survey

    (11/02 13:07:28)Korov’ev: Also, last Saturday Korman 0.09 was released, with a slew of fixes and updates!

    (11/02 13:07:32)Emor D’ni Lap: please let others know about this poll!

    (11/02 13:07:37)Korov’ev: It has 35 commits and about 1000 lines changed, including:

    (11/02 13:07:47)Korov’ev: * added the ability to create and link new Logic Nodes from each node socket;

    (11/02 13:07:54)Korov’ev: * added the “GatherBuild” asset control file to exported MOUL age packages;

    (11/02 13:08:01)Korov’ev: * changed Logic Node trees to be safe to reuse in multiple Advanced Logic modifiers without specifying specific nodes;

    (11/02 13:08:11)Korov’ev: and many more I’m very convincingly pretending to understand πŸ™‚

    (11/02 13:08:17)Doobes: LOL!

    (11/02 13:08:22)Korov’ev: Korman is not yet compatible with Blender 2.80: it requires 2.79b.

    (11/02 13:08:24)Claidi Song starts to laugh

    (11/02 13:08:25)Agnar starts to laugh

    (11/02 13:08:29)Korov’ev: For more info, check the thread: https://forum.guildofwriters.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=7031

    (11/02 13:08:33)Max: very convincing…

    (11/02 13:08:36)Doobes: All I know is they fixed things well enough to where I can’t break ’em again.

    (11/02 13:08:43)Max: can you take that again…?

    (11/02 13:08:45)Korov’ev: Speaking of fan Ages, we have some news from: Doobes!

    (11/02 13:08:59)Doobes salutes

    (11/02 13:09:12)Doobes: Hey everyone! I’m back…and for once, I have news. πŸ˜›

    (11/02 13:09:14)Korov’ev: WHo can also anwer questions about the last two things!

    (11/02 13:09:16)Agnar holds his breath

    (11/02 13:09:34)Doobes: The first bit is related to Chogon’s recent announcement of opening up the MOUL files for updating and modification.

    (11/02 13:09:45)Doobes: https://mystonline.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=29200

    (11/02 13:09:56)Doobes: If you haven’t read about it yet, Cyan has given the go-ahead to modify their MOUL assets.

    (11/02 13:10:10)Doobes: This is big news for those of us in the Age building community, as we’ve been wanting to do this for years.

    (11/02 13:10:15)Claidi Song thinks wow

    (11/02 13:10:24)Doobes: The only down side is Cyan has chosen not to provide the original Max files, which is, of course, their prerogative.

    (11/02 13:10:35)Doobes: That leaves it up to us to reverse-engineer these Ages for modification.

    (11/02 13:10:44)Max: that’s… not ‘me’!

    (11/02 13:10:47)Doobes: So in that spirit, I have begun the process of converting some of the Ages to Korman-ready files for Blender!

    (11/02 13:11:06)Doobes: I’ve experimented on two so far: K’veer and the original GoMe Pub.

    (11/02 13:11:26)Doobes: I should mention that this was made possible by the work of Sirius, the aforementioned brilliant programmer who not only released the handy Windows 10 mouse fix, but also developed the next generation of PRP importer called the ZLZ URU Importer.

    (11/02 13:11:45)Doobes: This handy little tool imports everything almost perfectly into Blender 2.79 for wiring with Korman. There are a few things that need to be adjusted, but Sirius has detailed all that in a handy wiki page on the Guild of Writers website.

    (11/02 13:12:01)Doobes: https://www.guildofwriters.org/wiki/ZLZ_Age_Importer

    (11/02 13:12:16)Doobes: Note that I have also successfully tested this on Myst V Ages as well. Even discovered there’s an Urwin hiding in Direbo. πŸ˜›

    (11/02 13:12:32)Doobes: Many, MANY thanks to Sirius for the amazing work!

    (11/02 13:12:49)Max: we give him a Badge..?!

    (11/02 13:12:50)Am Nesia is amazed!

    (11/02 13:12:57)Doobes: We should, Max. πŸ˜€

    (11/02 13:13:06)Doobes: My goal is to get these Ages 1 to 1 with their Max counterparts using Korman…or as close as I can.

    (11/02 13:13:20)Doobes: Then…assuming Cyan needs to look at them first…I will release them to the public so anyone can take a crack at improving upon them.

    (11/02 13:13:30)Claidi Song thanks you

    (11/02 13:13:36)Doobes: My first goal will be the original Guild Pubs…as they’re “easiest”.

    (11/02 13:13:41)Agnar: thanks very much Doobes

    (11/02 13:13:49)Doobes: Which is a relative term when you’re rewiring Cyan’s good work. πŸ˜€

    (11/02 13:13:56)Agnar starts to laugh

    (11/02 13:14:10)Doobes: Also, I certainly don’t have the monopoly on this, so if anyone would also like to pitch in, I would very much encourage you to do so! Plus, if you find any Korman bugs in the process, you can pass them along to the GoW as well.

    (11/02 13:14:28)Doobes: Note that there’s still a few things needed to get the Ages exactly 1 to 1 with their originals, so it might take time for the more complicated Ages (like Ae’gura).

    (11/02 13:14:40)Emor D’ni Lap: yikes

    (11/02 13:14:44)Doobes: Also, this is still uncharted waters, so we’ll be working as closely as we can with Cyan to make sure we’re doing all this according to their wishes.

    (11/02 13:14:58)Am Nesia: M.D.G.A. Make D’ni Great Again

    (11/02 13:15:01)Doobes: Next up, my own work!

    (11/02 13:15:05)Korov’ev: Most likely there will be some kind of selection process.

    (11/02 13:15:38)Doobes: Most likely, Kor. Presumably it’ll be up to the shard owners.

    (11/02 13:15:45)Korov’ev is dreaming about: a working Wall, the Watcher’s Pub puzzle, proper D’ni on the Hood lanterns, perhaps access to the Palace courtyard and the Tokota II roof, maybe a rubble-free Kahlo pub…

    (11/02 13:15:53)Doobes: As you may or may not know, I’ve been working on a little Age called Veelay Tsahvahn, aka the memorial Age.

    (11/02 13:15:58)Korov’ev: Please continue πŸ™‚

    (11/02 13:16:08)Doobes: It’s an extension of the memorial you’ve seen in Kahlo Pub in the city and is a place we can gather to remember and mourn those explorers who have passed away.

    (11/02 13:16:33)Doobes: Recently, we’ve lost a few more good people…including one that hit rather close to home for me: Tai’lahr.

    (11/02 13:16:46)Doobes: Tai was an irreplacable part of this community and was a perfect example of what was truly great about coming here.

    (11/02 13:16:46)Am Nesia is sorta bummed…

    (11/02 13:17:01)Doobes: She was active in a great many things, including creating a wiki page that greatly expanded upon the names on the aforementioned Kahlo Pub memorial.

    (11/02 13:17:02)

    (11/02 13:17:17)Doobes: Her input and encouragement was instrumental in getting Veelay off the ground, so it’s only fitting that it be one of the first Ages I plan to submit to Cyan for MOULa.

    (11/02 13:17:33)Doobes: In this way, her name will be further immortalized in the game she loved…as will all the others who went far too soon.

    (11/02 13:17:41) Agnar is sad

    (11/02 13:17:48)Doobes: Names like Zardoz, CAGrayWolf, Gorma O’Conner, sil-oh-wet, oldmanjob…this will be another small token of our appreciation for what they all meant to us.

    (11/02 13:18:05)Doobes: I’ve redoubled my efforts to finish the Age and plan to submit it to a few choice people to go over and scrutinize before sending things off to Cyan to test on the staging shard.

    (11/02 13:18:24)Doobes: From there, it’ll just be a matter of figuring out how to allow access to the Age (ie where the book will go). We’ll see.

    (11/02 13:18:40)Doobes: Until then, keep checking back at my website: http://agesofdoobes.wordpress.com

    (11/02 13:18:50)Doobes: Or at my facebook page, http://www.facebook.com/agesofdoobes

    (11/02 13:19:06)Doobes: And that’s all I’ve got. Any questions?

    (11/02 13:19:25)Agnar: when do you sleep?

    (11/02 13:19:29)Korov’ev: none in queue

    (11/02 13:19:41)Doobes: Whenever I can, Agnar. Hehehe.

    (11/02 13:19:45)Agnar starts to laugh

    (11/02 13:20:02)Doobes: Things will continue to develop over the next few months, so keep checking around the forums and such.

    (11/02 13:20:10)Doobes: Uh oh…did Kor pop?

    (11/02 13:20:57)Korov’ev: oops

    (11/02 13:21:00)Doobes: Well, uh…hmm…

    (11/02 13:21:12)Doobes: Kor? Is that you? Do you see a light, my friend?

    (11/02 13:21:15)Doobes grins

    (11/02 13:21:18)Calisia: SSD???

    (11/02 13:21:20)Emor D’ni Lap: wow

    (11/02 13:21:27)shokhootahn Rehn: wb Kor

    (11/02 13:21:28)Doobes is relieved

    (11/02 13:21:30)Claidi Song: Wb

    (11/02 13:21:31)Calisia: WB

    (11/02 13:21:34)Emor D’ni Lap: impressive trick, Ko’!

    (11/02 13:21:34)Root Beer: wb

    (11/02 13:21:39)Korov’ev: Sorry, a passing train πŸ™‚

    (11/02 13:21:44)Doobes: He’s doing magic tricks now. Hehehe.

    (11/02 13:21:49)Doobes: Anyway, thanks everyone!

    (11/02 13:21:54)MichaelJO2: Overload of the Matrix.

    (11/02 13:22:19)Emor D’ni Lap applauds appreciatively

    (11/02 13:22:27)Korov’ev: You heard about Tai’lahr from Doobes.

    (11/02 13:22:34)Korov’ev: Tai’lahr’s passing was preceded by a few days by that of explorer June “JuneTMP” Shaputis.

    (11/02 13:22:45)Korov’ev: I have been semi-officially put in charge of the memorial wiki page on OpenUru.org: http://wiki.openuru.org/index.php?title=In_Memoriam

    (11/02 13:22:53)Emor D’ni Lap: Kor’ is still in schock

    (11/02 13:22:54)Max: he froze..?

    (11/02 13:22:59)Korov’ev: Having joined the community rather late, I’m unfamiliar with most names. If you have details to contribute (especially links), please let me know.

    (11/02 13:23:13)Am Nesia: Net6 again?!

    (11/02 13:23:16)Goren: kor must have internal client :))

    (11/02 13:23:19)Korov’ev: mic test

    (11/02 13:23:24): [ Auto Shout Disabled ]

    (11/02 13:23:25)Doobes: There you are.

    (11/02 13:23:29): [ Auto Shout Enabled ]

    (11/02 13:23:38)Emor D’ni Lap: we hear you, Kor’!

    (11/02 13:23:42)Calisia: Readable!

    (11/02 13:23:43)Korov’ev: I’ll repeat

    (11/02 13:23:50)Korov’ev: You heard about Tai’lahr from Doobes.

    (11/02 13:23:55)Korov’ev: Tai’lahr’s passing was preceded by a few days by that of explorer June “JuneTMP” Shaputis.

    (11/02 13:24:03)Korov’ev: I have been semi-officially put in charge of the memorial wiki page on OpenUru.org: http://wiki.openuru.org/index.php?title=In_Memoriam

    (11/02 13:24:10)Korov’ev: Having joined the community rather late, I’m unfamiliar with most names. If you have details to contribute (especially links), please let me know.

    (11/02 13:24:31)Korov’ev: More on the topic of fan contributions on MOULa: next Sunday (10th) there will be a second meeting about the testing shard, Minkata.

    (11/02 13:24:43)Korov’ev: The meeting will be at 12:00 KI time, here in Kirel, for anyone interested in providing time, skill, and energy into getting the fan content pipeline in shape.

    (11/02 13:24:51)Korov’ev: The plan is to make this meeting a monthly event.

    (11/02 13:25:34)Korov’ev: mic test, again

    (11/02 13:25:58): [ Auto Shout Disabled ]

    (11/02 13:26:00)Korov’ev: mic test, again

    (11/02 13:26:13): [ Auto Shout Enabled ]

    (11/02 13:26:37)PodHopper: mic test?

    (11/02 13:26:39)Emor D’ni Lap: uh oh.

    (11/02 13:26:55)Korov’ev: can you still read me?

    (11/02 13:27:00)Am Nesia: Korov’ev is scared stiff.

    (11/02 13:27:23)Max: another Train approaching…?

    (11/02 13:27:23)Emor D’ni Lap: poor Kor’. Post-Halloween heebie-jeebies

    (11/02 13:27:43)MorganLapahie: He was filming all afternoon! He’s tuckered out!

    (11/02 13:27:55)philipgr: A Bahro trick or treated him

    (11/02 13:27:57)Am Nesia: Blame it on SEEKER’s sound effects.

    (11/02 13:28:13)MichaelJO2: Halloween sugar hangover

    (11/02 13:29:22)Am Nesia: and for Kor’s next trick…

    (11/02 13:29:28)Emor D’ni Lap: wow, fast!

    (11/02 13:29:33)shokhootahn Rehn: wb Kor

    (11/02 13:29:37)Korov’ev: right, can you all read me now?

    (11/02 13:29:42)Emor D’ni Lap: yaya

    (11/02 13:29:42)Am Nesia says okay

    (11/02 13:29:43)PodHopper: yup

    (11/02 13:29:44)Agnar: yes

    (11/02 13:29:44)Eternal Seeker: Y

    (11/02 13:29:46)Claidi Song nods her head

    (11/02 13:29:48)Max: once is a mishap… two times is a habit…

    (11/02 13:29:50)Korov’ev: k

    (11/02 13:29:50)philipgr: Y

    (11/02 13:30:00)Am Nesia: third time is a charm

    (11/02 13:30:00)Korov’ev: Now, some news about Mysterium:

    (11/02 13:30:09)Korov’ev: The 2020 date has been finally defined: August 7th to 9th.

    (11/02 13:30:15)Korov’ev: As for the venue, the Committee is in the final negotiations, and will announce it soon.

    (11/02 13:30:22)Korov’ev: The theme will be, for the first time, about Revelation: ‘Haven and Spire’. Red and blue, Sirrus and Achenar, crystals and mangrees… a bit of everything brotherly.

    (11/02 13:30:30)Korov’ev: As for this year’s edition, thanks to Taniith who sifted through hundreds of GBs of footage,

    (11/02 13:30:36)Korov’ev: all the panels are now available on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLxkV43WY77wF7SzZ9cJXWCZv61wpvQWFL

    (11/02 13:30:43)Korov’ev: Also, lyrics and poems from the Open Mic Night are now available here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1OA75zPzvltcw6L653gaBszKgya56hX2t

    (11/02 13:31:10)Korov’ev: And now, a message from r’Tayrtahn!

    (11/02 13:31:39)Am Nesia stomps his feet

    (11/02 13:31:52)shokhootahn Rehn: As always…

    (11/02 13:31:56)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.

    (11/02 13:32:09)shokhootahn Rehn: First, the language classes…

    (11/02 13:33:26)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 winter. Night time classes, however, are unaffected.

    (11/02 13:33:45)Doobes: I feel your pain, sir. πŸ˜€

    (11/02 13:33:48)shokhootahn Rehn: As always, current students can find last-minute updates to class times on the left-hand imager.

    (11/02 13:34:16)shokhootahn Rehn: Also, I use Magic Bot’s (KI #27527) advertisements (when he’s on) to announce last-minute changes to class times.

    (11/02 13:40:58)shokhootahn Rehn: For Story Night – Europe, we will finish with the story of the Restoration.

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. πŸ™‚

    (11/02 13:44:24)shokhootahn Rehn: The stories are told using voice so you will need to have your speakers or headsets on.

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.

    (10/05 13:16:16) Claidi Song waves hello
    (10/05 13:16:17) rarified: This should be brief…
    (10/05 13:16:42) rarified: I'd been cranking on the Minkata shard as usual, and as annouced last AGM,
    (10/05 13:17:00) rarified: I set up a meeting to look for new volunteers to help with the work
    (10/05 13:17:19) rarified: of running Minkata and the flow of updates. We held that meeting last Saturday.
    (10/05 13:17:40) rarified: Unfortunately, there were no new volunteers present at that meeting. *sadface*
    (10/05 13:17:58) rarified: However, many of the contributors were there, so we moved the discussion to
    (10/05 13:18:13) Grandbad cannot get the Minkata Dhard to run. πŸ™
    (10/05 13:18:16) rarified: some of the current bottlenecks in getting things through Minkata..
    (10/05 13:18:44) rarified: I'm "cautiously optimistic" that we've opened some new thinking on the
    (10/05 13:18:46) philipgr cannot either
    (10/05 13:19:03) rarified: processes of moving things from contributors to Minkata, and eventually here.
    (10/05 13:19:04) Claidi Song can't either
    (10/05 13:19:25) rarified: I need to consult with my Cyan contacts on some of the proposed updates,
    (10/05 13:19:26) Charlie Hustle ditto
    (10/05 13:19:37) rarified: and will be posting that information on the OpenUru forums.
    (10/05 13:20:01) rarified: In the mean time, we've got a new small update in the works from the GoW
    (10/05 13:20:19) rarified: that will try some of the new tactics we've discussed. We'll
    (10/05 13:20:19) Sleeper Jan: i have to check it
    (10/05 13:20:34) rarified: make an annoucement on the OU forums as well, when that is ready for testing.
    (10/05 13:20:56) rarified: I see a number of you saying you can't get access to the Minkata shard.
    (10/05 13:21:09) Grandbad Correct
    (10/05 13:21:10) rarified: I can hang around after the meeting and see if I can help you resolve your problems,
    (10/05 13:21:14) rarified: if you would like..
    (10/05 13:21:18) Tai'lahr: If this technofeeb can do it, anyone can.
    (10/05 13:21:26) Sleeper Jan: i didnt go lately but i saw your announce, rarified
    (10/05 13:21:27) Korov'ev: yeah, that would be best

    (10/05 13:22:29) Charlie Hustle: For the Minkata team?
    (10/05 13:22:30) rarified: I could do that if you think it would help.
    (10/05 13:22:33) Claidi Song Hi 5s
    (10/05 13:22:38) Korov'ev: On the Fan Ages front…
    (10/05 13:22:46) Korov'ev: Writer Melvin has just released FOUR new ones!
    (10/05 13:23:02) Korov'ev: They are: Palamary bay, Peridia, MYST Refuge, and The Ruins of Azmar.
    (10/05 13:23:09) Korov'ev: Collectively, they are part of the Path of the Lost Ages.
    (10/05 13:23:12) Sleeper Jan: wow
    (10/05 13:23:17) Korov'ev: They can be downloaded from http://www.mediafire.com/file/ugomn35vjccsvxq/Path_of_the_Lost_Ages.7z/file
    (10/05 13:23:23) Korov'ev: and are probably only suitable for the offline version.
    (10/05 13:23:37) Korov'ev: Time for some Cyan news!
    (10/05 13:23:44) Grandbad nods πŸ™‚
    (10/05 13:23:47) Korov'ev: With the help of the people of Inkworks Productions (Blade, Eleri, Alahmnat and others),
    (10/05 13:23:55) Korov'ev: Cyan is working to centralize all of the lore about the Myst universe.
    (10/05 13:24:06) Korov'ev: In order to do this though they need your help.
    (10/05 13:24:14) Korov'ev: Documents, forums, chatlogs, emails can provide knowledge into the people and events going on at any given time.
    (10/05 13:24:28) Korov'ev: If these logs are not saved, if forums go down and or community websites stop to exist we lose all of that information to the aether.
    (10/05 13:24:30) Adam {Hoikas}: that's an unfortunate association for an otherwise useful resource
    (10/05 13:24:42) Tai'lahr coughs.
    (10/05 13:24:44) Korov'ev shrugs
    (10/05 13:24:50) Korov'ev: So: do you have an old RAWA email talking about lore? Do you have information on a lore related item from the LYST? Did you have a conversation with Rand or RAWA that include answers to lore questions?
    (10/05 13:25:07) Korov'ev: Cyan want all of these things. Chatlogs from Uru Live, images of DRC members, live events. All of it. Bring the missing pages!
    (10/05 13:25:15) Charlie Hustle sticks a bahro down his throat
    (10/05 13:25:23) Korov'ev: They are not looking for speculation, or suggestions; rather, the aim is to gather all of the canon that may have fallen through the cracks.
    (10/05 13:25:35) Korov'ev: If there is a resource online, just send Cyan the URL instead of the document. Double-check on some of the community resources to see if your information has already been recorded, and consider helping fill out those wikis!
    (10/05 13:25:45) Korov'ev is biased in favor of the Guild of Archivists wiki
    (10/05 13:26:20) Korov'ev: If it is an email thread, try to include the full thread, but remove personal email addresses, etc.
    (10/05 13:26:29) Korov'ev: Metadata (where it comes from, the date it happened, how you acquired it, etc.) would be excellent.
    (10/05 13:26:31) Tai'lahr: I have a wealth of resources, but not the time.
    (10/05 13:26:42) Korov'ev: At this time Cyan will not be answering questions about lore. However, in the future the Lore Project's efforts will be available to the public, so save those questions!
    (10/05 13:26:54) Korov'ev: You can submit lore items to lore@cyan.com. You may receive follow up emails with questions, but if you don't get any, assume that the item was taken and is now being curated.
    (10/05 13:27:19) Korov'ev: Also, in a recent Reddit post, Grey Dragon showed photos and titles of all the linking book props used in the Myst series.
    (10/05 13:27:26) Korov'ev: https://www.reddit.com/r/myst/comments/dcgz42/actual_prop_books/

    (10/05 13:28:04) Korov'ev: Burned books: Mike McAlary. Buddy Boys / Robert S. Eliot & Dennis L. Breo. Is It Worth Dying For?
    (10/05 13:28:14) Korov'ev: Grey Dragon clarified that the books were chosen solely for their appearance, titles or content are not relevant to the lore.
    (10/05 13:28:21) Rabbit starts to laugh
    (10/05 13:28:48) Eternal Seeker: Lore ?
    (10/05 13:29:15) Korov'ev: i.e. picked oat random, solely for the look
    (10/05 13:29:19) Charlie Hustle: Hodor
    (10/05 13:29:21) Korov'ev: *at
    (10/05 13:29:37) Korov'ev: And now, some news about Mysterium!
    (10/05 13:29:39) Kayara: ET: Die Hintergrundgeschichte von Myst, Riven und Co.
    (10/05 13:29:47) Korov'ev: First, the Committee would like to remind people about sending photos, videos, album links, and any lyrics you may have written for the Open Mic Night.
    (10/05 13:29:59) Korov'ev: They have heard only from a handful of people, and would love to share all of those with the whole community.
    (10/05 13:30:13) Korov'ev: Second, video editing is taking longer than expected – they have over 300GB of footage – but is proceeding.
    (10/05 13:30:23) Korov'ev: The videos will be uploaded on: https://www.youtube.com/MysteriumCon
    (10/05 13:30:29) Korov'ev: Fifth… ehm, third, you might be wondering: have they chosen a location for the next edition?
    (10/05 13:30:46) Korov'ev: Yes they did!
    (10/05 13:30:57) Korov'ev: For the first time ever, Mysterium will be held in: Washington, DC.
    (10/05 13:31:06) Rabbit is sad
    (10/05 13:31:08) Tai'lahr: ugh
    (10/05 13:31:19) Korov'ev: The city offers a robust transportation system to connect visitors from a multitude of airports and train stations to downtown and the suburbs.
    (10/05 13:31:26) Korov'ev: Featuring free admission to museums and other attractions, the capital will have something to offer everyone in attendance this year.
    (10/05 13:31:30) Charlie Hustle: Dirty city
    (10/05 13:31:32) Korov'ev said, pretending he knew the city inside and out.
    (10/05 13:31:56) Korov'ev: Next year's edition will also be returning to the traditional schedule, ending midday on Sunday (around 1:00 PM).
    (10/05 13:32:07) Korov'ev: More info about logistical decisions, including date selection, will follow in the next weeks [https://mysterium.net/].
    (10/05 13:32:24) Korov'ev: Fourth: the Committee will also rotate, with no less than three chairs: Capella and Drew will be joined by a relative newcomer, Dan.
    (10/05 13:32:25) Grandbad checks his piggy bank … alas not enough to attend.
    (10/05 13:32:42) Korov'ev: Nicknamed the Mysterium Triumvirate, they hope to combine their enthusiasm and Myst and community knowledge to make one of the best Mysterium conventions yet.
    (10/05 13:32:52) Korov'ev: Taniith will take a well deserved rest after his hard work this year.
    (10/05 13:33:04) Korov'ev: Fifth: there were several other VIPs who wanted to come, but couldn't make it for one reason or another.
    (10/05 13:33:16) Korov'ev: One of those people is Genevieve Lord, the Producer on Myst IV.
    (10/05 13:33:32) Korov'ev: She got in touch with several of the concept artists who worked on Revelation and asked them if they had any concept art…
    (10/05 13:33:51) Korov'ev: Sure enough, she was able to get artwork from Andrzej Tutaj, Meinert Hansen, and Stephane Turgeon, and with Ubisoft's blessing, she was able to share that artwork with the Community!
    (10/05 13:34:02) Rabbit cheers
    (10/05 13:34:10) Korov'ev: Here's the link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zQubVGA-PtsSo-esjkjVH2bI3k-D9lad/view?usp=sharing
    (10/05 13:34:11) Grandbad smiles
    (10/05 13:34:36) Rabbit is SO glad she is running a chatlog
    (10/05 13:34:44) Korov'ev: Our next question is from Kayara.
    (10/05 13:34:45) Korov'ev: [Kayara] Will there be a world-wide Mysterium thing again?
    (10/05 13:34:50) philipgr something more to add to my collection of pics πŸ™‚
    (10/05 13:34:56) Charlie Hustle: Okay going shopping for DC clothes
    (10/05 13:34:59) Korov'ev: I presume you mean the Mass Mysteria?
    (10/05 13:35:11) Kayara: yes
    (10/05 13:35:26) Kayara: Couldn't remember the name
    (10/05 13:35:32) Korov'ev: In my understanding, they weren't as successful as they hoped
    (10/05 13:35:52) rarified: cat !$
    (10/05 13:36:24) rarified types in the wrong window
    (10/05 13:36:25) Korov'ev: Our next question is from PodHopper.
    (10/05 13:36:25) Korov'ev: [PodHopper] when will new year end this year in the hoods?
    (10/05 13:36:38) Korov'ev: December 31 πŸ˜‰
    (10/05 13:36:52) PodHopper is amazed!
    (10/05 13:37:19) PodHopper: the banners i mean…
    (10/05 13:37:47) Korov'ev: Cyan needs a reminder, I think πŸ™‚

    (10/05 13:38:20) Rabbit starts to laugh

    (10/05 13:38:28) Korov'ev: (or 21)
    (10/05 13:38:35) Kayara: considering the vast amount of Hoods these days they might need some people to help with getting them down too
    (10/05 13:38:44) Tai'lahr: lol
    (10/05 13:38:49) Korov'ev: Now, I have a message from r'Tayrtahn, aka Shokhootahn Rehn…
    (10/05 13:38:57) Korov'ev: Story Night – Europe is canceled for this Saturday, October 5 due to unexpected traveling. Original Story Night is unaffected.
    (10/05 13:39:01) Grandbad looks for his ladder
    (10/05 13:39:07) Korov'ev: This week, there will be a special Story Night presentation during Original Story Night.
    (10/05 13:39:20) Korov'ev: The bi-annual Bahro Glyph Tour will be held sometime during the month of November. There will be more details given during the November AGM.
    (10/05 13:39:32) Korov'ev: End of line.
    (10/05 13:39:59) Korov'ev: Unfortunately, sometimes I have to relay sad news.
    (10/05 13:40:10) Korov'ev: It has been reported that Jason "Ja'run" Bobyarchick passed away on August 29 at the age of 34, a victim of gun violence.
    (10/05 13:40:18) axenna: Oh no πŸ™
    (10/05 13:40:18) Kayara tries to think of a place in the cavern to store all those banners without them getting all moist and mouldy
    (10/05 13:40:26) Korov'ev: He was one of the early explorers and beta testers of the Cavern.
    (10/05 13:40:33) Korov'ev: https://mystonline.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=29182

    (10/05 13:41:27) PodHopper is sad too
    (10/05 13:41:31) Aristocat hates violence in the world
    (10/05 13:41:31) Korov'ev: And with that, it's time to wrap up this Meeting.
    (10/05 13:41:41) Korov'ev: Here is the summary of this month's events (times in KI time)…
    (10/05 13:41:49) Korov'ev: A calendar is also present in the left imager of the Guild of Messengers' Hood;
    (10/05 13:41:56) Korov'ev: if you find a mistake, please PM me here or on the forum so I can correct it.
    (10/05 13:42:09) Boywhith claps his hands

  • All Guilds Meeting – October 2019 – Cleansed Chatlog

    (10/05 13:02:16)Korov’ev: Shorah, and welcome to the 114th All Guilds Meeting!

    (10/05 13:02:21)Boywhith: Hi ES πŸ™‚

    (10/05 13:02:24)Korov’ev: In the D’ni calendar today is Leevot 17, 9675, and the time is 21:00:00

    (10/05 13:02:31)Korov’ev: If there’s anyone new: welcome to the Cavern! You picked the best time to be online πŸ™‚

    (10/05 13:02:38)Korov’ev: As usual, I’ll remind you the 5 Meeting Rules:

    (10/05 13:02:45)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.

    (10/05 13:02:57)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.

    (10/05 13:03:04)Korov’ev: 3. Speakers, please indicate when you are done speaking and ready for questions, and when you’re ready for the next question.

    (10/05 13:03:13)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.

    (10/05 13:03:21)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/

    (10/05 13:03:30)Korov’ev: Of course, you can start your own chatlog with “/startlog”.

    (10/05 13:03:43)Christian Walther thinks Kor is cheating there with the time

    (10/05 13:04:03)Korov’ev: Events! We all like Cavern events, don’t we?

    (10/05 13:04:10)Korov’ev: Let’s hear about them from Minasunda!

    (10/05 13:04:30)Rabbit leans right

    (10/05 13:04:31)Sleeper Jan leans left

    (10/05 13:04:43)Minasunda: shorah dear explorers.

    (10/05 13:04:51)Sleeper Jan: shorah all

    (10/05 13:04:55)Minasunda: You guessed it, if I stand here in front, then we have to face an event soon πŸ˜€

    (10/05 13:05:04)Sleeper Jan: really

    (10/05 13:05:06)Sleeper Jan: πŸ™‚

    (10/05 13:05:10)Minasunda: I have two announcements.

    (10/05 13:05:23)Minasunda: First I would invite you to our Halloween event.

    (10/05 13:05:36)Minasunda: It takes place on the 31st of October and starts at 13 KI in Mir-O-Bot’s Aegura.

    (10/05 13:05:52)Minasunda: Attention – due to the time change, 13 KI will be one hour earlier than usual for the Europeans.

    (10/05 13:06:07)Minasunda: We meet at the Plaza on the map.

    (10/05 13:06:17)Grandbad: Brexit Party.

    (10/05 13:06:25)Minasunda: in Mir-O-Bot’s city

    (10/05 13:06:26)Korov’ev: Heh

    (10/05 13:06:40)Minasunda: There is a scary hike through the city.

    (10/05 13:06:56)Minasunda: I can tell you, it’s going to be really scary. Are you brave?

    (10/05 13:07:05)Rabbit: no

    (10/05 13:07:10)Mirphak: no, lol

    (10/05 13:07:12)Minasunda: To ensure a smooth process, I ask you: PLEASE do NOT use magic commands during the event.

    (10/05 13:07:16)Boywhith: Not at all…

    (10/05 13:07:28)Minasunda: Eternal Seeker will lead this hike. Stay behind him so nothing escapes you.

    (10/05 13:07:43)Kayara: That I will know afterwards for sure lol

    (10/05 13:07:49)Minasunda: At the end of the horror hike Mir-O-Bot will link us all to Tiwah.

    (10/05 13:08:04)Minasunda: There will be a dance party with Yoda’s wonderful effects.

    (10/05 13:08:18)Minasunda: Again, it gets scary again. I hope you all have strong nerves and I will be able to see you all in the caves beyond Halloween πŸ˜›

    (10/05 13:08:28)PodHopper is checking his pants…

    (10/05 13:08:32)Minasunda: The music will be on www.urutunes.com/Seeker

    (10/05 13:08:38)philipgr: shiver me timbers

    (10/05 13:08:53)Minasunda: Let’s have fun and scare us properly πŸ˜› πŸ˜›

    (10/05 13:09:06)Minasunda: Does anyone have questions about this event?

    (10/05 13:09:21)Rabbit cringes

    (10/05 13:09:33)Korov’ev: Our next question is from Boywhith.

    (10/05 13:09:33)Korov’ev: [Boywhith] what Age is Tiwah?

    (10/05 13:09:51)Minasunda: is Descent sorry

    (10/05 13:10:10)Boywhith: Thanks πŸ™‚

    (10/05 13:10:25)Korov’ev: Mir-o-Bot will get us there, right?

    (10/05 13:10:26)Minasunda: Now there is a second thing. A really big celebration is ahead of us….

    (10/05 13:10:30)Minasunda: yes

    (10/05 13:11:02)Minasunda: Mir-O-Bpot will link us to Tiwah

    (10/05 13:11:14)Grandbad: Not Brexit again πŸ™

    (10/05 13:11:17)Boywhith: 10 years MOULa !!!

    (10/05 13:11:21)Minasunda: Now there is a second thing. A really big celebration is ahead of us….

    (10/05 13:11:33)Minasunda: In February (more precisely on February 8) MOULa celebrates its 10th anniversary.

    (10/05 13:11:43)Grandbad: Yay

    (10/05 13:11:46)Rabbit: wow!

    (10/05 13:11:47)Minasunda: Really. MOULa was online for 10 years. This is a reason to celebrate it – I think.

    (10/05 13:11:52)philipgr: πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚

    (10/05 13:11:55)PodHopper: oooh yes….

    (10/05 13:12:01)Minasunda: And of course, this celebration should be something very special.

    (10/05 13:12:13)Minasunda: !!! I’ll call you: think about whether you can contribute with an event !!!

    (10/05 13:12:19)rarified: A dedicated fan base to keep it going for 10 years with donations!

    (10/05 13:12:27)Minasunda: The festive weekend should at least go from Friday, 07. February to Sunday 09. February and we want to fill these 3 days with life.

    (10/05 13:12:43)Minasunda: If these 3 days are not enough to accommodate all your events – what I hope πŸ˜€ – then we start just a few days earlier.

    (10/05 13:13:00)Minasunda: Of course, the Nulp Dance Group will do a show – this time in the Great Zero.

    (10/05 13:13:16)Minasunda: The choreography and the stage technique is finished. The dancers are arranged and rehearsals are already running.

    (10/05 13:13:34)Minasunda: Let your ideas run wild and let me know so I can get an overview and set up a preliminary timetable.

    (10/05 13:13:49)Minasunda: Do not wait too long, you know the time flies fast. :)))

    (10/05 13:14:05)Minasunda: You can contact me by KI mail, in the Myst Online Forum, on Facebook or by e-mail (lusabi[at]aol.com)

    (10/05 13:14:24)Minasunda: any questions ?

    (10/05 13:14:40)Grandbad shakes his head

    (10/05 13:14:45)Korov’ev: None in queue…

    (10/05 13:14:54)Korov’ev: Thank you Minasunda!

    (10/05 13:14:56)Minasunda: ok πŸ™‚ thank you

    (10/05 13:14:59)Minasunda bows

    (10/05 13:15:14)Korov’ev: Brave Sir Robin ran away, bravely ran away away…

    (10/05 13:15:39)Korov’ev: And now, an update from the Minkata shard:

    (10/05 13:15:44)Korov’ev: let’s welcome rarified!

    (10/05 13:16:06)rarified: Shorah all!

    (10/05 13:16:16)Claidi Song waves hello

    (10/05 13:16:17)rarified: This should be brief…

    (10/05 13:16:42)rarified: I’d been cranking on the Minkata shard as usual, and as annouced last AGM,

    (10/05 13:17:00)rarified: I set up a meeting to look for new volunteers to help with the work

    (10/05 13:17:19)rarified: of running Minkata and the flow of updates. We held that meeting last Saturday.

    (10/05 13:17:40)rarified: Unfortunately, there were no new volunteers present at that meeting. *sadface*

    (10/05 13:17:58)rarified: However, many of the contributors were there, so we moved the discussion to

    (10/05 13:18:13)Grandbad cannot get the Minkata Dhard to run. πŸ™

    (10/05 13:18:16)rarified: some of the current bottlenecks in getting things through Minkata..

    (10/05 13:18:44)rarified: I’m “cautiously optimistic” that we’ve opened some new thinking on the

    (10/05 13:18:46)philipgr cannot either

    (10/05 13:19:03)rarified: processes of moving things from contributors to Minkata, and eventually here.

    (10/05 13:19:04)Claidi Song can’t either

    (10/05 13:19:25)rarified: I need to consult with my Cyan contacts on some of the proposed updates,

    (10/05 13:19:26)Charlie Hustle ditto

    (10/05 13:19:37)rarified: and will be posting that information on the OpenUru forums.

    (10/05 13:20:01)rarified: In the mean time, we’ve got a new small update in the works from the GoW

    (10/05 13:20:19)rarified: that will try some of the new tactics we’ve discussed. We’ll

    (10/05 13:20:19)Sleeper Jan: i have to check it

    (10/05 13:20:34)rarified: make an annoucement on the OU forums as well, when that is ready for testing.

    (10/05 13:20:56)rarified: I see a number of you saying you can’t get access to the Minkata shard.

    (10/05 13:21:09)Grandbad Correct

    (10/05 13:21:10)rarified: I can hang around after the meeting and see if I can help you resolve your problems,

    (10/05 13:21:14)rarified: if you would like..

    (10/05 13:21:18)Tai’lahr: If this technofeeb can do it, anyone can.

    (10/05 13:21:26)Sleeper Jan: i didnt go lately but i saw your announce, rarified

    (10/05 13:21:27)Korov’ev: yeah, that would be best

    (10/05 13:21:27)rarified: That’s all I have, Kor’

    (10/05 13:21:27)Rabbit starts to laugh

    (10/05 13:21:34)Claidi Song starts to laugh

    (10/05 13:21:40)Grandbad: Yes πŸ™‚

    (10/05 13:21:45)Korov’ev: No questions in queue…

    (10/05 13:21:53)Korov’ev: Thank you rarified!

    (10/05 13:22:00)philipgr: yes πŸ™‚

    (10/05 13:22:03)rarified: Ok. Keep up the hopes, and we will get moving!

    (10/05 13:22:05)Tai’lahr: Thank you, Rarified.

    (10/05 13:22:06)rarified: Thank You!

    (10/05 13:22:11)Charlie Hustle: Maybe host a new meeting here?

    (10/05 13:22:29)Charlie Hustle: For the Minkata team?

    (10/05 13:22:30)rarified: I could do that if you think it would help.

    (10/05 13:22:33)Claidi Song Hi 5s

    (10/05 13:22:38)Korov’ev: On the Fan Ages front…

    (10/05 13:22:46)Korov’ev: Writer Melvin has just released FOUR new ones!

    (10/05 13:23:02)Korov’ev: They are: Palamary bay, Peridia, MYST Refuge, and The Ruins of Azmar.

    (10/05 13:23:09)Korov’ev: Collectively, they are part of the Path of the Lost Ages.

    (10/05 13:23:12)Sleeper Jan: wow

    (10/05 13:23:17)Korov’ev: They can be downloaded from http://www.mediafire.com/file/ugomn35vjccsvxq/Path_of_the_Lost_Ages.7z/file

    (10/05 13:23:23)Korov’ev: and are probably only suitable for the offline version.

    (10/05 13:23:37)Korov’ev: Time for some Cyan news!

    (10/05 13:23:44)Grandbad nods πŸ™‚

    (10/05 13:23:47)Korov’ev: With the help of the people of Inkworks Productions (Blade, Eleri, Alahmnat and others),

    (10/05 13:23:55)Korov’ev: Cyan is working to centralize all of the lore about the Myst universe.

    (10/05 13:24:06)Korov’ev: In order to do this though they need your help.

    (10/05 13:24:14)Korov’ev: Documents, forums, chatlogs, emails can provide knowledge into the people and events going on at any given time.

    (10/05 13:24:28)Korov’ev: If these logs are not saved, if forums go down and or community websites stop to exist we lose all of that information to the aether.

    (10/05 13:24:30)Adam {Hoikas}: that’s an unfortunate association for an otherwise useful resource

    (10/05 13:24:42)Tai’lahr coughs.

    (10/05 13:24:44)Korov’ev shrugs

    (10/05 13:24:50)Korov’ev: So: do you have an old RAWA email talking about lore? Do you have information on a lore related item from the LYST? Did you have a conversation with Rand or RAWA that include answers to lore questions?

    (10/05 13:25:07)Korov’ev: Cyan want all of these things. Chatlogs from Uru Live, images of DRC members, live events. All of it. Bring the missing pages!

    (10/05 13:25:15)Charlie Hustle sticks a bahro down his throat

    (10/05 13:25:23)Korov’ev: They are not looking for speculation, or suggestions; rather, the aim is to gather all of the canon that may have fallen through the cracks.

    (10/05 13:25:35)Korov’ev: If there is a resource online, just send Cyan the URL instead of the document. Double-check on some of the community resources to see if your information has already been recorded, and consider helping fill out those wikis!

    (10/05 13:25:45)Korov’ev is biased in favor of the Guild of Archivists wiki

    (10/05 13:26:20)Korov’ev: If it is an email thread, try to include the full thread, but remove personal email addresses, etc.

    (10/05 13:26:29)Korov’ev: Metadata (where it comes from, the date it happened, how you acquired it, etc.) would be excellent.

    (10/05 13:26:31)Tai’lahr: I have a wealth of resources, but not the time.

    (10/05 13:26:42)Korov’ev: At this time Cyan will not be answering questions about lore. However, in the future the Lore Project’s efforts will be available to the public, so save those questions!

    (10/05 13:26:54)Korov’ev: You can submit lore items to lore[at]cyan.com. You may receive follow up emails with questions, but if you don’t get any, assume that the item was taken and is now being curated.

    (10/05 13:27:19)Korov’ev: Also, in a recent Reddit post, Grey Dragon showed photos and titles of all the linking book props used in the Myst series.

    (10/05 13:27:26)Korov’ev: https://www.reddit.com/r/myst/comments/dcgz42/actual_prop_books/

    (10/05 13:28:14)Korov’ev: Grey Dragon clarified that the books were chosen solely for their appearance, titles or content are not relevant to the lore.

    (10/05 13:28:21)Rabbit starts to laugh

    (10/05 13:28:48)Eternal Seeker: Lore ?

    (10/05 13:29:15)Korov’ev: i.e. picked oat random, solely for the look

    (10/05 13:29:19)Charlie Hustle: Hodor

    (10/05 13:29:21)Korov’ev: *at

    (10/05 13:29:37)Korov’ev: And now, some news about Mysterium!

    (10/05 13:29:39)Kayara: ET: Die Hintergrundgeschichte von Myst, Riven und Co.

    (10/05 13:29:47)Korov’ev: First, the Committee would like to remind people about sending photos, videos, album links, and any lyrics you may have written for the Open Mic Night.

    (10/05 13:29:59)Korov’ev: They have heard only from a handful of people, and would love to share all of those with the whole community.

    (10/05 13:30:13)Korov’ev: Second, video editing is taking longer than expected – they have over 300GB of footage – but is proceeding.

    (10/05 13:30:23)Korov’ev: The videos will be uploaded on: https://www.youtube.com/MysteriumCon

    (10/05 13:30:29)Korov’ev: Fifth… ehm, third, you might be wondering: have they chosen a location for the next edition?

    (10/05 13:30:46)Korov’ev: Yes they did!

    (10/05 13:30:57)Korov’ev: For the first time ever, Mysterium will be held in: Washington, DC.

    (10/05 13:31:06) Rabbit is sad

    (10/05 13:31:08)Tai’lahr: ugh

    (10/05 13:31:19)Korov’ev: The city offers a robust transportation system to connect visitors from a multitude of airports and train stations to downtown and the suburbs.

    (10/05 13:31:26)Korov’ev: Featuring free admission to museums and other attractions, the capital will have something to offer everyone in attendance this year.

    (10/05 13:31:30)Charlie Hustle: Dirty city

    (10/05 13:31:32)Korov’ev said, pretending he knew the city inside and out.

    (10/05 13:31:56)Korov’ev: Next year’s edition will also be returning to the traditional schedule, ending midday on Sunday (around 1:00 PM).

    (10/05 13:32:07)Korov’ev: More info about logistical decisions, including date selection, will follow in the next weeks [https://mysterium.net/].

    (10/05 13:32:24)Korov’ev: Fourth: the Committee will also rotate, with no less than three chairs: Capella and Drew will be joined by a relative newcomer, Dan.

    (10/05 13:32:25)Grandbad checks his piggy bank … alas not enough to attend.

    (10/05 13:32:42)Korov’ev: Nicknamed the Mysterium Triumvirate, they hope to combine their enthusiasm and Myst and community knowledge to make one of the best Mysterium conventions yet.

    (10/05 13:32:52)Korov’ev: Taniith will take a well deserved rest after his hard work this year.

    (10/05 13:33:04)Korov’ev: Fifth: there were several other VIPs who wanted to come, but couldn’t make it for one reason or another.

    (10/05 13:33:16)Korov’ev: One of those people is Genevieve Lord, the Producer on Myst IV.

    (10/05 13:33:32)Korov’ev: She got in touch with several of the concept artists who worked on Revelation and asked them if they had any concept art…

    (10/05 13:33:51)Korov’ev: Sure enough, she was able to get artwork from Andrzej Tutaj, Meinert Hansen, and Stephane Turgeon, and with Ubisoft’s blessing, she was able to share that artwork with the Community!

    (10/05 13:34:10)Korov’ev: Here’s the link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zQubVGA-PtsSo-esjkjVH2bI3k-D9lad/view?usp=sharing

    (10/05 13:34:56)Charlie Hustle: Okay going shopping for DC clothes

    (10/05 13:34:59)Korov’ev: I presume you mean the Mass Mysteria?

    (10/05 13:35:11)Kayara: yes

    (10/05 13:35:26)Kayara: Couldn’t remember the name

    (10/05 13:35:32)Korov’ev: In my understanding, they weren’t as successful as they hoped

    (10/05 13:35:52)rarified: cat !$

    (10/05 13:36:24)rarified types in the wrong window

    (10/05 13:36:25)Korov’ev: Our next question is from PodHopper.

    (10/05 13:36:25)Korov’ev: [PodHopper] when will new year end this year in the hoods?

    (10/05 13:36:38)Korov’ev: December 31 πŸ˜‰

    (10/05 13:36:52)PodHopper is amazed!

    (10/05 13:37:19)PodHopper: the banners i mean…

    (10/05 13:37:47)Korov’ev: Cyan needs a reminder, I think πŸ™‚

    (10/05 13:38:04)Korov’ev: D’ni New Year is April 20

    (10/05 13:38:20)Rabbit starts to laugh

    (10/05 13:38:22)PodHopper: ok we’ll stick to that one…

    (10/05 13:38:28)Korov’ev: (or 21)

    (10/05 13:38:35)Kayara: considering the vast amount of Hoods these days they might need some people to help with getting them down too

    (10/05 13:38:44)Tai’lahr: lol

    (10/05 13:38:49)Korov’ev: Now, I have a message from r’Tayrtahn, aka Shokhootahn Rehn…

    (10/05 13:38:57)Korov’ev: Story Night – Europe is canceled for this Saturday, October 5 due to unexpected traveling. Original Story Night is unaffected.

    (10/05 13:39:59)Korov’ev: Unfortunately, sometimes I have to relay sad news.

    (10/05 13:40:10)Korov’ev: It has been reported that Jason “Ja’run” Bobyarchick passed away on August 29 at the age of 34, a victim of gun violence.

    (10/05 13:40:18)axenna: Oh no πŸ™

    (10/05 13:40:18)Kayara tries to think of a place in the cavern to store all those banners without them getting all moist and mouldy

    (10/05 13:40:26)Korov’ev: He was one of the early explorers and beta testers of the Cavern.

    (10/05 13:40:33)Korov’ev: https://mystonline.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=29182

    (10/05 13:40:53)Korov’ev feels like he’s doing these announcements way too often

    (10/05 13:40:54)Rabbit: Damn

    (09/07 13:01:15) 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.
    (09/07 13:01:20) 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.
    (09/07 13:01:32) Korov'ev: 3. Speakers, please indicate when you are done speaking and ready for questions, and when you're ready for the next question.
    (09/07 13:01:40) 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.
    (09/07 13:01:54) 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: www.guildofmessengers.info/
    (09/07 13:02:02) Korov'ev: Of course, you can start your own chatlog with "/startlog".
    (09/07 13:02:18) Korov'ev: Let's start with the announcement of a reopening,

    (09/07 13:06:56) ChrisKB: However, he attended Mysterium recently, and it made him want to contribute to this community more.
    (09/07 13:08:08) ChrisKB: Also, with Magic Bot onnly being available by request now, he figured that the Cavern Events hood would be a nice way to get announcements to other explorers in the cavern by using the imager in the hood.
    (09/07 13:08:48) ChrisKB: Furthermore, he has a team this time which currently consists of Narotiza and myself, both of which be met at Mysterium.
    (09/07 13:09:47) ChrisKB: …as an aside, I actually did meet him, and the whole event was awesome. It also made me want to participate more in the cavern here also…
    (09/07 13:10:55) ChrisKB: We will try to host more parties as well, starting with the Reopening Party on 12th October starting at 14:00 KI time. If anybody wishes to stream music at that time, you are more than welcome to.
    (09/07 13:12:09) ChrisKB: If you have any inquiries regarding the hood, or events you'd like him to add, send him a KI mail under his avvie attaboyrish, KI: 7903211
    (09/07 13:12:47) ChrisKB: Also with permission from certain people, he'd like to get the Cavern Tours back up again. (Long term plans)

    (09/07 13:16:07) rarified: Today, I have something a little different in store for you.
    (09/07 13:16:34) rarified: I'm not going to talk about specific technical progress, but rather about Minkata itself.
    (09/07 13:17:09) rarified: There has been a resurgence of postings on the OpenUru forums expressing concerns about things getting done
    (09/07 13:17:27) rarified: on the Minkata shard. Many of these concerns I agree with.
    (09/07 13:17:56) rarified: Much of the problem with getting things through the testing process on Minkata is time and
    (09/07 13:18:16) rarified: ability to work on sometimes many things at once.
    (09/07 13:18:48) rarified: I'd like to get a feel about hosting an in game gathering entitled "What can you offer for Minkata?"
    (09/07 13:19:20) rarified: I'd like to find out who has and is willing to spend time on the operation, process, and even
    (09/07 13:19:31) rarified: management of the Minkata shard.
    (09/07 13:19:49) rarified: I'm not asking about people with specific skills at this meeting, I would just like to
    (09/07 13:20:11) rarified: find out if there are others willing to pitch in, somehow. And what they can offer as skills.
    (09/07 13:20:22) rarified: Does that sound interesting to you?
    (09/07 13:20:38) Thumbs up from Christian Walther
    (09/07 13:20:45) rarified: I'm going to echo this request in the MOULa forums, but though an in person offer would be
    (09/07 13:20:49) rarified: the way to start things off.
    (09/07 13:21:12) rarified: Thoughts? (Apologies to Kor for taking time for back and forth)
    (09/07 13:21:29) radioflux: Great idea
    (09/07 13:21:29) Theo thinks it sounds great to him.
    (09/07 13:21:30) PodHopper: pick a date and place?
    (09/07 13:21:54) rarified: That would be the next step. I assume it would only be polite to cover as many time zones
    (09/07 13:22:01) rarified: for people interested as possible.
    (09/07 13:22:12) PodHopper: good point
    (09/07 13:22:23) Thumbs up from Mirphak
    (09/07 13:22:45) rarified: And I'd publish the chatlog on the OU forums to continue the discussion or perhaps another real time meeting.
    (09/07 13:23:27) rarified: Well, ruminate on the proposal. Look for my posting on (I expect) the events forum.
    (09/07 13:23:35) rarified: (on MOUL)
    (09/07 13:23:46) rarified: Any questions at this early a stage?
    (09/07 13:23:55) Korov'ev: Also on the Discord server, I suppose?
    (09/07 13:24:11) rarified: Yes, I could post something there as well.
    (09/07 13:24:30) Heather: Ruminate…eat grass lol
    (09/07 13:24:31) rarified: Although on Discord it might be hard to keep the discussion focused.
    (09/07 13:25:00) Korov'ev: Our next question is from Theo.
    (09/07 13:25:00) Korov'ev: [Theo] And a Hood Imager or two?
    (09/07 13:25:09) rarified: Ok. I continue to work on behind the curtain coding for Minkata, but can't give a date for a big announcement right now.
    (09/07 13:25:34) Korov'ev: so keep an eye on public forums!
    (09/07 13:25:35) rarified: There is an OpenUru hood, I'll see about posting something there. If there are more visible/common
    (09/07 13:25:50) rarified: neighborhood for posting, let me know and who administers it.
    (09/07 13:25:53) rarified: Thank You.
    (09/07 13:25:57) rarified bows

    (09/07 13:26:47) Korov'ev overshot the podium…
    (09/07 13:26:53) rarified: Heh
    (09/07 13:26:53) radioflux: Do pay attention to the man in front of the curtain
    (09/07 13:27:01) Korov'ev: Time for a little wrap up from the biggest MYSTERIUM ever held, with (at least) 230 attendees…
    (09/07 13:27:08) Susa'n is amazed!
    (09/07 13:27:10) Korov'ev: It's been over a month, but still feels like yesterday, doesn't it?
    (09/07 13:27:16) ChrisKB: yes
    (09/07 13:27:24) Korov'ev: First, the Committee would like you to take a survey, so they can figure out how to make the convention even grander next time:
    (09/07 13:27:30) Korov'ev: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfyHl7lUUen4S4zOSPEIKrfnjZKgITvZbe-3-Cmkcqa5ACnjg/viewform?usp=sf_link
    (09/07 13:27:46) Korov'ev: (or wait for the link in the chatlog πŸ™‚
    (09/07 13:27:58) Korov'ev: You should take the survey even if you couldn't go, as there's a whole section about future Mysteria, including in which parts of the U.S. it should be held.
    (09/07 13:28:08) Susa'n: So Cal! πŸ˜‰
    (09/07 13:28:22) Heather: so OH
    (09/07 13:28:22) Korov'ev: Second, the coloring books were such a hit, they are now available through a print-on-demand service for $10!
    (09/07 13:28:30) Korov'ev: https://app.thebookpatch.com/BookStore/through-the-pages—a-myst-themed-coloring-book/11c98cdc-45a4-426f-ae58-f9ffe7bdad78
    (09/07 13:28:42) Korov'ev: It is the same service used to print the originals, so you'll get the same high quality.
    (09/07 13:28:45) Heather: i got one
    (09/07 13:29:21) Korov'ev: Our next question is from Theo.
    (09/07 13:29:22) Korov'ev: [Theo] How will it ever be bigger if it isn't in Spokane?
    (09/07 13:29:35) Heather: So OH
    (09/07 13:29:41) Korov'ev: 2023 is Myst 30th anniversary πŸ˜‰
    (09/07 13:30:09) Korov'ev: Third, if you wrote lyrics for Mysterium's Open Mic Night, and would like to share with the community, you can send them to committee@mysterium.net. The plan is to host them in a public Google Drive folder.
    (09/07 13:30:31) Korov'ev: Fourth, a central place for photos and videos is hard to find, because many of the older photo-sharing sites have shut down or require payment. Currently there are three options:
    (09/07 13:30:42) Korov'ev: a shared Google Photos album, which requires you to have a Google account, but if you do it's the simplest option: https://photos.app.goo.gl/5ws1vowzpo3bKyyDA
    (09/07 13:30:50) Korov'ev: a Dropbox folder, if you prefer to just send them directly; be aware that it may not be possible to credit you on your photos if you submit them this way: https://www.dropbox.com/request/6jUODJANGLEwPmbTaH3c
    (09/07 13:31:19) Korov'ev: (the folder is drop only, the photos will be added to the Google album)
    (09/07 13:31:20) Korov'ev: f
    (09/07 13:31:24) Korov'ev: if you've already uploaded your photos elsewhere, you can send the Committee a link to the album (make sure it's set as public), which will be included a list of external albums on the website: https://mysterium.net/contact/
    (09/07 13:31:41) Korov'ev: As for the panel video footage from Twitch, it will be edited and uploaded over the next weeks.
    (09/07 13:31:57) Korov'ev: Fifth — Gehn be praised!
    (09/07 13:32:03) Korov'ev flinches
    (09/07 13:32:04) Korov'ev: oops
    (09/07 13:32:16) rarified raises an eyebrow
    (09/07 13:32:19) Korov'ev: Fifth, the location for Mysterium 2020 is still undecided; there is a shortlist, and the Committee expects to have it nailed down by mid-to-late September.
    (09/07 13:32:32) Claidi Song is puzzled
    (09/07 13:32:32) Heather lost an eyebrow
    (09/07 13:32:46) Korov'ev: The dates for next year's convention will be held sometime in late July/early August, but not necessarily the usual first weekend.
    (09/07 13:32:55) Korov'ev: The reason is that for each of the past few years the locations were unexpectedly filled by some other event;
    (09/07 13:33:03) Korov'ev: this drastically reduces the options for hotels and makes it much harder to find a hotel in a convenient location for a reasonable price.
    (09/07 13:33:09) Korov'ev: "If you could do the weekend before/after, we would have space/could give you a better rate", they say.
    (09/07 13:33:17) Korov'ev: So for next year, the Committee opted to be a little more flexible with the dates.
    (09/07 13:33:42) Korov'ev: Back to the Cavern, this week we had not one but two events!
    (09/07 13:33:52) Korov'ev: (both of which I managed to miss – ahem)
    (09/07 13:34:02) Korov'ev: on Tuesday, we had the Day of Dancing celebration hosted by Ghaelen d'Lareh, with special effects from Yoda and Mirphak [https://youtu.be/u0Mwky7UUjI];
    (09/07 13:34:15) Korov'ev: on Thursday we had the inauguration of the latest adventure from Mister Magics: the Skydiving Hight School [https://youtu.be/5AthoXuZa8s],
    (09/07 13:34:27) Korov'ev: which you can start by PM "registration" to Magic Skydiver, KI# 8848659.
    (09/07 13:34:44) Korov'ev: This month being September, you might want to keep your agenda free for some upcoming celebrations!
    (09/07 13:34:48) Heather: What is hight schoool?
    (09/07 13:35:04) Korov'ev: *High
    (09/07 13:35:21) rarified: Distorted screen
    (09/07 13:35:37) Heather: Height?
    (09/07 13:35:47) Korov'ev shrugs
    (09/07 13:35:47) Korov'ev: And with that, it's time to wrap up this Meeting!
    (09/07 13:35:56) Korov'ev: Here is the summary of this month's events (times in KI time)…
    (09/07 13:36:00) PodHopper: like in academy
    (09/07 13:36:03) Korov'ev: A calendar is also present in the left imager of the Guild of Messengers' Hood;
    (09/07 13:36:10) Korov'ev: if you find a mistake, please PM me here or on the forum so I can correct it.
    (09/07 13:36:16) Claidi Song: And, as in flying.
    (09/07 13:36:22) Korov'ev: Tuesday 10 is the anniversary of the 2007 Gametap Episode "Deception";
    (09/07 13:36:27) PodHopper: yup πŸ˜‰
    (09/07 13:36:30) rarified: Ooooo

    (09/07 13:37:05) Heather says XXXXX on that happening again

    (09/07 13:37:15) Korov'ev: it is also Leevot 12, the date of the First Arrival of the Great King Ahlsendar, in 6305 BC.
    (09/07 13:37:21) Korov'ev: Now, for what's going on in the Cavern itself:
    (09/07 13:37:31) Korov'ev: The Guild of Greeters' Hood is staffed Monday-Saturday 13:45-14:15, if you need hints or info about the Cavern.

  • All Guilds Meeting – September 2019 – Cleansed Chatlog

    (09/07 13:00:25)Korov’ev: Alright!

    (09/07 13:00:30)Relentless: Shorah Mina

    (09/07 13:00:31)Christian Walther: Shorah Minasunda and all

    (09/07 13:00:35)PodHopper: shorah πŸ˜‰

    (09/07 13:00:38)Korov’ev: Shorah, and welcome to the 113th All Guilds Meeting!

    (09/07 13:00:42)Eternal Seeker says hey

    (09/07 13:00:48)Korov’ev: In the D’ni calendar today is Leetahr 24, 9675, and the time is 15:01:00

    (09/07 13:01:04)Korov’ev: If there’s anyone new: welcome to the Cavern!

    (09/07 13:01:10)Korov’ev: As usual, I’ll remind you the 5 Meeting Rules:

    (09/07 13:01:15)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.

    (09/07 13:01:20)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.

    (09/07 13:01:32)Korov’ev: 3. Speakers, please indicate when you are done speaking and ready for questions, and when you’re ready for the next question.

    (09/07 13:01:40)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.

    (09/07 13:01:54)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: www.guildofmessengers.info//

    (09/07 13:02:02)Korov’ev: Of course, you can start your own chatlog with “/startlog”.

    (09/07 13:02:18)Korov’ev: Let’s start with the announcement of a reopening,

    (09/07 13:02:25)Korov’ev: brought to you by: ChrisKB!

    (09/07 13:02:50)ChrisKB waves hello

    (09/07 13:03:02)Heather waves back

    (09/07 13:03:03)Claidi Song waves hello

    (09/07 13:03:19)ChrisKB: Just a moment, everyone…

    (09/07 13:04:08)Korov’ev: Mike check, mike check

    (09/07 13:04:13)Heather twiddles her thumbs

    (09/07 13:04:27)Claidi Song crochets a little faster

    (09/07 13:04:37)ChrisKB: Dang, first time. Sorry.

    (09/07 13:04:46)Korov’ev: heh

    (09/07 13:04:48)ChrisKB: Shorah, fellow explorers.

    (09/07 13:05:00)Heather: Shorah

    (09/07 13:05:03)ChrisKB: It’s great to behere.

    (09/07 13:05:32)ChrisKB: Attaboy couldn’t be here today and just wanted me to send a message to you all, and everyone else here in the community.

    (09/07 13:06:23)ChrisKB: He knows that in the past that he tried resurrecting the Cavern Events hood but real life just got too busy at the time.

    (09/07 13:06:56)ChrisKB: However, he attended Mysterium recently, and it made him want to contribute to this community more.

    (09/07 13:08:08)ChrisKB: Also, with Magic Bot onnly being available by request now, he figured that the Cavern Events hood would be a nice way to get announcements to other explorers in the cavern by using the imager in the hood.

    (09/07 13:08:48)ChrisKB: Furthermore, he has a team this time which currently consists of Narotiza and myself, both of which be met at Mysterium.

    (09/07 13:09:47)ChrisKB: …as an aside, I actually did meet him, and the whole event was awesome. It also made me want to participate more in the cavern here also…

    (09/07 13:10:55)ChrisKB: We will try to host more parties as well, starting with the Reopening Party on 12th October starting at 14:00 KI time. If anybody wishes to stream music at that time, you are more than welcome to.

    (09/07 13:12:09)ChrisKB: If you have any inquiries regarding the hood, or events you’d like him to add, send him a KI mail under his avvie attaboyrish, KI: 7903211

    (09/07 13:12:47)ChrisKB: Also with permission from certain people, he’d like to get the Cavern Tours back up again. (Long term plans)

    (09/07 13:13:09)ChrisKB: Any questions, just send Attaboyrish a KI mail.

    (09/07 13:14:03)Heather can’t wait for the cavern tours again

    (09/07 13:14:19)ChrisKB: …I myself would also be able to receive messages at my KI as well. My ID is: 08921257 I’ll make sure to read them, plus forward the message to Attaboy and the rest of the team.

    (09/07 13:14:42)ChrisKB: And that about covers it. Thanks for listening!

    (09/07 13:14:46)Thumbs up from ChrisKB

    (09/07 13:14:47)Korov’ev: Thank you ChrisKB!

    (09/07 13:14:51)ChrisKB thanks you very much!

    (09/07 13:15:14)Korov’ev: And now, it’s time for an update from the Minkata shard:

    (09/07 13:15:19)Korov’ev: let’s welcome rarified!

    (09/07 13:15:44)rarified: Shorah (again) all! πŸ˜‰

    (09/07 13:16:07)rarified: Today, I have something a little different in store for you.

    (09/07 13:16:34)rarified: I’m not going to talk about specific technical progress, but rather about Minkata itself.

    (09/07 13:17:09)rarified: There has been a resurgence of postings on the OpenUru forums expressing concerns about things getting done

    (09/07 13:17:27)rarified: on the Minkata shard. Many of these concerns I agree with.

    (09/07 13:17:56)rarified: Much of the problem with getting things through the testing process on Minkata is time and

    (09/07 13:18:16)rarified: ability to work on sometimes many things at once.

    (09/07 13:18:48)rarified: I’d like to get a feel about hosting an in game gathering entitled “What can you offer for Minkata?”

    (09/07 13:19:20)rarified: I’d like to find out who has and is willing to spend time on the operation, process, and even

    (09/07 13:19:31)rarified: management of the Minkata shard.

    (09/07 13:19:49)rarified: I’m not asking about people with specific skills at this meeting, I would just like to

    (09/07 13:20:11)rarified: find out if there are others willing to pitch in, somehow. And what they can offer as skills.

    (09/07 13:20:22)rarified: Does that sound interesting to you?

    (09/07 13:20:38)Thumbs up from Christian Walther

    (09/07 13:20:45)rarified: I’m going to echo this request in the MOULa forums, but though an in person offer would be

    (09/07 13:20:49)rarified: the way to start things off.

    (09/07 13:21:12)rarified: Thoughts? (Apologies to Kor for taking time for back and forth)

    (09/07 13:21:29)radioflux: Great idea

    (09/07 13:21:29)Theo thinks it sounds great to him.

    (09/07 13:21:30)PodHopper: pick a date and place?

    (09/07 13:21:54)rarified: That would be the next step. I assume it would only be polite to cover as many time zones

    (09/07 13:22:01)rarified: for people interested as possible.

    (09/07 13:22:12)PodHopper: good point

    (09/07 13:22:23)Thumbs up from Mirphak

    (09/07 13:22:45)rarified: And I’d publish the chatlog on the OU forums to continue the discussion or perhaps another real time meeting.

    (09/07 13:23:27)rarified: Well, ruminate on the proposal. Look for my posting on (I expect) the events forum.

    (09/07 13:23:35)rarified: (on MOUL)

    (09/07 13:23:46)rarified: Any questions at this early a stage?

    (09/07 13:23:55)Korov’ev: Also on the Discord server, I suppose?

    (09/07 13:24:11)rarified: Yes, I could post something there as well.

    (09/07 13:24:30)Heather: Ruminate…eat grass lol

    (09/07 13:24:31)rarified: Although on Discord it might be hard to keep the discussion focused.

    (09/07 13:25:00)Korov’ev: Our next question is from Theo.

    (09/07 13:25:00)Korov’ev: [Theo] And a Hood Imager or two?

    (09/07 13:25:09)rarified: Ok. I continue to work on behind the curtain coding for Minkata, but can’t give a date for a big announcement right now.

    (09/07 13:25:34)Korov’ev: so keep an eye on public forums!

    (09/07 13:25:35)rarified: There is an OpenUru hood, I’ll see about posting something there. If there are more visible/common

    (09/07 13:25:50)rarified: neighborhood for posting, let me know and who administers it.

    (09/07 13:25:53)rarified: Thank You.

    (09/07 13:25:57)rarified bows

    (09/07 13:26:06)Korov’ev: Thank you rarified!

    (09/07 13:26:08)Christian Walther: Please consider working in front of the curtain :))

    (09/07 13:26:08)Heather ruminates

    (09/07 13:26:47)Korov’ev overshot the podium…

    (09/07 13:26:53)rarified: Heh

    (09/07 13:26:53)radioflux: Do pay attention to the man in front of the curtain

    (09/07 13:27:01)Korov’ev: Time for a little wrap up from the biggest MYSTERIUM ever held, with (at least) 230 attendees…

    (09/07 13:27:08)Susa’n is amazed!

    (09/07 13:27:10)Korov’ev: It’s been over a month, but still feels like yesterday, doesn’t it?

    (09/07 13:27:16)ChrisKB: yes

    (09/07 13:27:24)Korov’ev: First, the Committee would like you to take a survey, so they can figure out how to make the convention even grander next time:

    (09/07 13:27:30)Korov’ev: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/ 1FAIpQLSfyHl7lUUen4S4zOSPEIKrfnjZKgITvZbe-3-Cmkcqa5ACnjg/ viewform?usp=sf_link

    (09/07 13:27:46)Korov’ev: (or wait for the link in the chatlog πŸ™‚

    (09/07 13:27:58)Korov’ev: You should take the survey even if you couldn’t go, as there’s a whole section about future Mysteria, including in which parts of the U.S. it should be held.

    (09/07 13:28:08)Susa’n: So Cal! πŸ˜‰

    (09/07 13:28:22)Heather: so OH

    (09/07 13:28:22)Korov’ev: Second, the coloring books were such a hit, they are now available through a print-on-demand service for $10!

    (09/07 13:28:30)Korov’ev: https://app.thebookpatch.com/BookStore/ through-the-pages—a-myst-themed-coloring-book/ 11c98cdc-45a4-426f-ae58-f9ffe7bdad78

    (09/07 13:28:42)Korov’ev: It is the same service used to print the originals, so you’ll get the same high quality.

    (09/07 13:28:45)Heather: i got one

    (09/07 13:29:21)Korov’ev: Our next question is from Theo.

    (09/07 13:29:22)Korov’ev: [Theo] How will it ever be bigger if it isn’t in Spokane?

    (09/07 13:29:35)Heather: So OH

    (09/07 13:29:41)Korov’ev: 2023 is Myst 30th anniversary πŸ˜‰

    (09/07 13:30:09)Korov’ev: Third, if you wrote lyrics for Mysterium’s Open Mic Night, and would like to share with the community, you can send them to committee@mysterium.net. The plan is to host them in a public Google Drive folder.

    (09/07 13:30:31)Korov’ev: Fourth, a central place for photos and videos is hard to find, because many of the older photo-sharing sites have shut down or require payment. Currently there are three options:

    (09/07 13:30:42)Korov’ev: a shared Google Photos album, which requires you to have a Google account, but if you do it’s the simplest option: https://photos.app.goo.gl/5ws1vowzpo3bKyyDA

    (09/07 13:30:50)Korov’ev: a Dropbox folder, if you prefer to just send them directly; be aware that it may not be possible to credit you on your photos if you submit them this way: https://www.dropbox.com/request/6jUODJANGLEwPmbTaH3c

    (09/07 13:31:19)Korov’ev: (the folder is drop only, the photos will be added to the Google album)

    (09/07 13:31:20)Korov’ev: f

    (09/07 13:31:24)Korov’ev: if you’ve already uploaded your photos elsewhere, you can send the Committee a link to the album (make sure it’s set as public), which will be included a list of external albums on the website: https://mysterium.net/contact/

    (09/07 13:31:41)Korov’ev: As for the panel video footage from Twitch, it will be edited and uploaded over the next weeks.

    (09/07 13:31:57)Korov’ev: Fifth — Gehn be praised!

    (09/07 13:32:03)Korov’ev flinches

    (09/07 13:32:04)Korov’ev: oops

    (09/07 13:32:16)rarified raises an eyebrow

    (09/07 13:32:19)Korov’ev: Fifth, the location for Mysterium 2020 is still undecided; there is a shortlist, and the Committee expects to have it nailed down by mid-to-late September.

    (09/07 13:32:32)Claidi Song is puzzled

    (09/07 13:32:32)Heather lost an eyebrow

    (09/07 13:32:46)Korov’ev: The dates for next year’s convention will be held sometime in late July/early August, but not necessarily the usual first weekend.

    (09/07 13:32:55)Korov’ev: The reason is that for each of the past few years the locations were unexpectedly filled by some other event;

    (09/07 13:33:03)Korov’ev: this drastically reduces the options for hotels and makes it much harder to find a hotel in a convenient location for a reasonable price.

    (09/07 13:33:09)Korov’ev: “If you could do the weekend before/after, we would have space/could give you a better rate”, they say.

    (09/07 13:33:17)Korov’ev: So for next year, the Committee opted to be a little more flexible with the dates.

    (09/07 13:33:42)Korov’ev: Back to the Cavern, this week we had not one but two events!

    (09/07 13:33:52)Korov’ev: (both of which I managed to miss – ahem)

    (09/07 13:34:02)Korov’ev: on Tuesday, we had the Day of Dancing celebration hosted by Ghaelen d’Lareh, with special effects from Yoda and Mirphak [https://youtu.be/u0Mwky7UUjI];

    (09/07 13:34:15)Korov’ev: on Thursday we had the inauguration of the latest adventure from Mister Magics: the Skydiving Hight School [https://youtu.be/5AthoXuZa8s],

    (09/07 13:34:27)Korov’ev: which you can start by PM “registration” to Magic Skydiver, KI# 8848659.

    (09/07 13:34:44)Korov’ev: This month being September, you might want to keep your agenda free for some upcoming celebrations!

    (09/07 13:34:48)Heather: What is hight schoool?

    (09/07 13:35:04)Korov’ev: *High

    (09/07 13:35:21)rarified: Distorted screen

    (09/07 13:35:47)Korov’ev shrugs

    (09/07 13:35:47)Korov’ev: And with that, it’s time to wrap up this Meeting!
