  • All Guilds Meeting – August 2025 – Cleansed Chatlog

    (08/09 13:00:59) Claidi Song: Welcome to the 184th All Guilds Meeting!

    (08/09 13:01:00) shokhootahn Augur: Ooh, that’s a delicious idea, Shiloh. Maybe with mushrooms?

    (08/09 13:01:04) skyisblu: That’s a great idea – I’ll look up some ideas, ShilohOBrien 🙂

    (08/09 13:01:05) ShilohOBrien: Yep!

    (08/09 13:01:21) Claidi Song: By the D’ni calendar, today is Leetar 1 9681 DE.

    (08/09 13:01:32) Claidi Song: If you are new to the Cavern or returning after being away for some time: Welcome! You have arrived at an exciting time in MOULa!

    (08/09 13:01:51) Claidi Song: All Guilds Meeting (AGM) meets from 13:00 KI – 13:55 KI on the first Saturday of each month.

    (08/09 13:01:58) ShilohOBrien: Cavern foodies unite!!!

    (08/09 13:02:03) Claidi Song: Times in MOULa are shown in KI Time which corresponds to the Mountain Time Zone.

    (08/09 13:02:14) Claidi Song: The next “All Guilds Meeting” will be Saturday, 6th of September 2025 at 13 KIT. See you all, then!

    (08/09 13:02:31) RedUhuru: that was short

    (08/09 13:02:34) Korov’ev: It was a short meeting

    (08/09 13:02:36) PodHopper: so short?

    (08/09 13:02:38) thor-ham: lol

    (08/09 13:02:40) Calum Traveler: lol

    (08/09 13:02:41) Diranda: lol

    (08/09 13:02:41) ShilohOBrien blinks

    (08/09 13:02:46) Claidi Song: But don’t leave yet lol

    (08/09 13:02:50) skyisblu laughs

    (08/09 13:02:56) Calum Traveler: i thought i zoned out for a moment

    (08/09 13:03:01) rarified: Not until the cookies arrive.

    (08/09 13:03:02) Ereshkigal: Copy paste can go wrong, it happens all the time to me

    (08/09 13:03:04) Claidi Song: I actually didn’t realize I added that :)))

    (08/09 13:03:06) Calum Traveler: did i really miss both name calls Id asked? But no, lol.

    (08/09 13:03:07) ShilohOBrien passes around the container of scotch eggs to the newcomers.

    (08/09 13:03:17) Claidi Song: ~~~ AGM Rules ~~~

    (08/09 13:03:19) Diranda: time skipping

    (08/09 13:03:22) Claidi Song: 1. Keep chatter to a minimum while the speakers are talking. Be respectful and let the speaker finish.

    (08/09 13:03:39) Claidi Song: 2. Hold all questions until after the speaker asks for questions at the end of their presentation.

    (08/09 13:03:56) Claidi Song: 3. Speakers: please indicate when you are ready for questions. And indicate when you’re ready for the next question.

    (08/09 13:04:03) Claidi Song: Questions may be directly messaged to me to be added to the questions queue for Q&A after each presenter is done. Keep DM’d questions brief and on the speaker’s topic.

    (08/09 13:04:29) rarified: What about the blue button? 😉

    (08/09 13:04:31) Claidi Song: 4. If a question requires a long answer, we may need to skip it to stay on track. In that case, please, DM the speaker after they’ve left the platform.

    (08/09 13:04:44) ShilohOBrien tosses a scotch egg directly to IwonK.

    (08/09 13:04:48) skyisblu: don;t call attention to the blue button, rarified 😉

    (08/09 13:05:06) IwonK catches the egg in a sandwich

    (08/09 13:05:06) Prad: neither the red button

    (08/09 13:05:15) Claidi Song: Korov’ev is going to share the next rule as things are changin around lately.

    (08/09 13:05:28) Korov’ev: it’s like the little red button on the ZF-1

    (08/09 13:05:34) Buddy: I MUST press the buttons!!!!

    (08/09 13:05:51) Korov’ev waves hello

    (08/09 13:05:51) Korov’ev: Shorah everyone!

    (08/09 13:06:10) Korov’ev: Straight to the point: we lost the Messengers website 🙁

    (08/09 13:06:21) rarified is sad

    (08/09 13:06:22) shokhootahn Rehn: :-((

    (08/09 13:06:25) Korov’ev: I won’t go into the details again, but since the website was owned by Doobes, I wouldn’t count on it coming back anytime soon.

    (08/09 13:06:29) ural: :((((

    (08/09 13:06:34) Baldric The Dung: 🙁

    (08/09 13:06:34) philipgr is very sad

    (08/09 13:06:36) ShilohOBrien: I wondered about that.

    (08/09 13:06:36) Ereshkigal: Oh no…

    (08/09 13:06:37) Calum Traveler: ill have a statement about doobes at the end of the AGM

    (08/09 13:06:43) Calum Traveler: so dont ask kor questions about that now.

    (08/09 13:06:56) Korov’ev: Right

    (08/09 13:07:00) Korov’ev: A discussion could be had on the utility of a news website in a world of social media, but there are a few immediate practical issues I’d like to address.

    (08/09 13:07:09) Korov’ev: I’ll touch on a few points, but to avoid taking too much time from the Meeting, I suggest we keep the discussion for later if it gets too long 😉

    (08/09 13:07:22) Korov’ev: 1. Calendar: the actual calendar is based on Google, so the public link is still valid, if a bit cumbersome:

    (08/09 13:07:23) Claidi Song: \yes

    (08/09 13:07:29) Korov’ev: https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?height=600&wkst=1&bgcolor=%23FFFFFF&src=guild@guildofmessengers.com&color=%23FFC300&ctz=America/Denver

    (08/09 13:07:31) Claidi Song nods her head

    (08/09 13:07:38) rarified: :O

    (08/09 13:07:40) Korov’ev: Or, if you can trust Bitly, a while ago I made a short URL version: https://bit.ly/GoMe_cal – there are also a few localised versions, just append “_ce“, “_uk“, “_ru” or “_jp

    (08/09 13:07:49) Korov’ev: 2. Chatlogs: I have all the raw and cleansed chatlogs since 2016 (and a few from before that). As a quick and dirty solution I can set up a public Dropbox folder.

    (08/09 13:07:53) thor-ham: whoa… where’s my pencil

    (08/09 13:08:06) Korov’ev: I’ll slow down 🙂

    (08/09 13:08:18) Korov’ev: I’m used to rapid fire copypaste 🙂

    (08/09 13:08:26) Korov’ev: But perhaps saving them e.g. in a wiki could be a better option? It would be a bit of work though (9 years x 12 months, plus this year).

    (08/09 13:08:27) Swifthawk: type: /startlog

    (08/09 13:08:35) Calum Traveler: a wiki might be best, yes

    (08/09 13:08:39) Korov’ev: 3. Tutorials: there were a few tutorials about troubleshooting MOULa errors and installing shards on macOS and Linux. I wrote them, so I’m a bit biased about saving them 🙂

    (08/09 13:08:42) rarified: I could host a copy of the chatlogs if a simple web page would suffice.

    (08/09 13:08:52) Korov’ev: I’ve already started salvaging them to the Writers wiki. I think this is actually an improvement, since once they’re wikified, anyone will be able to update them, not just me.

    (08/09 13:09:04) Thumbs up from Calum Traveler

    (08/09 13:09:08) Korov’ev: The MacOS and Linux ones especially will need a thorough audit, since I’m a bit behind the latest developments.

    (08/09 13:09:21) Korov’ev: 4. Rel.to: admin login depended on the GoMe website, and iirc it already didn’t work with the latest version.

    (08/09 13:09:30) Korov’ev: So I’m afraid the Myst-specific URL shortening tool is locked and unchangeable now, if I’m not mistaken.

    (08/09 13:09:43) Emor D’ni Lap: guildofmessengers.net is available. Nothing wrong with a .net suffix. I will be happy to reserve it immediately and transfer to whoever wants to resurrect the site.

    (08/09 13:09:55) Calum Traveler: i didnt even think about the rel.to side of things, wow.

    (08/09 13:10:02) Korov’ev: That’s an option too

    (08/09 13:10:04) Korov’ev: A menu in the GoMe website had a shortlist of active Uru-related websites, perhaps a similar shortlist on a wiki page could work?

    (08/09 13:10:05) ShilohOBrien raises a hand

    (08/09 13:10:18) Korov’ev: Yes, Shiloh?

    (08/09 13:10:28) Swifthawk: I can build and host whatever anyone might want.

    (08/09 13:10:49) Korov’ev: 5. AGM summaries, new Age announcements, etc.: the meat of the website, and the most uncertain at the moment.

    (08/09 13:10:50) ShilohOBrien: What is the difference in utility between having a GoMe wiki vs a dedicated website for it?

    (08/09 13:11:20) Korov’ev: The main part of the website was a blog/news website

    (08/09 13:11:37) Korov’ev: So a wiki isn’t probably the best model?

    (08/09 13:11:43) ShilohOBrien nods

    (08/09 13:11:49) Korov’ev: Swifthawk (of UruTunes) has offered space to host a new version.

    (08/09 13:12:11) Korov’ev: For e.g. today’s AGM summary, I was thinking about posting in the r/Myst subreddit. At least it’d be accessible without an account.

    (08/09 13:12:14) Swifthawk waves like Forest.

    (08/09 13:12:19) Calum Traveler: sounds good as a stopgap, kor

    (08/09 13:12:24) Korov’ev: The website appears to be saved in the Wayback Machine up to July 18, 2023.

    (08/09 13:12:42) Claidi Song: nice

    (08/09 13:12:47) caver1: True.

    (08/09 13:12:48) Korov’ev: To be fair, in the last year or two activity was down to little more than AGM summaries

    (08/09 13:12:58) Christian Walther: I should have archives of everything that was in the RSS feed.

    (08/09 13:13:09) Korov’ev: Well, that’s all I have for now

    (08/09 13:13:16) Prad: they had two-monthly snapshots of the website on WBM

    (08/09 13:13:24) Claidi Song thanks you

    (08/09 13:13:24) Claidi Song: Korov’ev

    (08/09 13:13:26) Prad: *have*

    (08/09 13:13:33) Korov’ev: We’ll this one through too 😉

    (08/09 13:13:36) Ereshkigal: Thank you Korovev!

    (08/09 13:13:42) Korov’ev: back tomy seat!

    (08/09 13:13:52) Claidi Song: As always, you can start your own chatlog by typing: /startlog

    (08/09 13:14:02) ural: Saw it gone week or 2 ago

    (08/09 13:14:09) Claidi Song: ~~~ CAVCON ~~~

    (08/09 13:14:15) Claidi Song: Latest CavCon funding update: As of June 2025, CAVCON is 2.4; Donations covered 40%; Reserve is at 618%

    (08/09 13:14:23) Claidi Song: Remember CAVCON donations keep MOULa open.

    (08/09 13:14:34) Claidi Song: ~~~ Cooking with Sky ~~~

    (08/09 13:14:36) Princess Luna: I have no Idea what is going on?

    (08/09 13:14:39) Claidi Song: ~~~ Cooking with Sky ~~~

    (08/09 13:15:12) skyisblu: Hi everybody!

    (08/09 13:15:13) Princess Luna: How can I help?

    (08/09 13:15:23) skyisblu: I just wanted to remind you that every FIRST Monday of the month, I host Cooking Sessions with Sky at 12 KI in the cavern.

    (08/09 13:15:46) skyisblu: (which was last Monday 😉 )

    (08/09 13:15:55) skyisblu: However, as per my usual schedule, I will be skipping September’s cooking session due to travel. That means you will all have to wait until October for the luscious chocolate cake recipe I have planned! It was inspired by suggestions made during our post-stream discussions(thanks IwonK!).

    (08/09 13:15:59) Calum Traveler: (fish tacos, yummy yummy)

    (08/09 13:16:06) IwonK blushes

    (08/09 13:16:20) ShilohOBrien: And after that, the Shroomie dish?

    (08/09 13:16:21) skyisblu: I am always looking for inspiration and new directions in which to take my cooking, so please, if you have anything you would like to see made, let me know!

    (08/09 13:16:43) Korov’ev: October will have to be a double dish 🙂

    (08/09 13:16:50) skyisblu: (and yes, definitely a “shroomie” dish in the future)

    (08/09 13:16:55) Buddy: Iwonk, you need to fill in for her… I need nurishment!

    (08/09 13:17:10) skyisblu: For every cooking sessions, we meet in the Guild of Caterers’ Hood, and online for the livestream at https://www.twitch.tv/skyisblu_is_me – remember that the audio commentary is done in both English and French.

    (08/09 13:17:26) ShilohOBrien: I have no idea how to stream, or else I’d make you all my beef and bacon pie.

    (08/09 13:17:30) skyisblu: If you’ve missed any of the previous Cooking Sessions, all of the recipes and accompanying videos are available on my website, https://cookingsessionswithsky.blogspot.com/

    (08/09 13:17:49) skyisblu: Any questions?

    (08/09 13:17:51) IwonK: bacon pie… I’m listening 😀

    (08/09 13:17:51) Claidi Song: No questions in the queue.

    (08/09 13:17:54) ShilohOBrien: Also, the time of the stream is smack dab in the middle of my work day. 🙁

    (08/09 13:18:03) skyisblu bows

    (08/09 13:18:05) Claidi Song: Thank you, sky!

    (08/09 13:18:09) skyisblu: Thanks!

    (08/09 13:18:20) Claidi Song: ~~~ D’ni Language Class and Story Night ~~~

    (08/09 13:18:27) Claidi Song beckons you

    (08/09 13:18:27) Claidi Song: shokhootahn Rehn/r’Taytahn, the stage is yours!

    (08/09 13:18:47) shokhootahn Rehn: As always, I have two separate announcements. One is for the D’ni Language Class and the other one is for r’Tayrtahn’s Story Night.

    (08/09 13:19:02) shokhootahn Rehn: First, the language classes…

    (08/09 13:19:15) shokhootahn Rehn: There are evening classes available on weekday evenings Monday through Thursday, starting at 20:00, 21:00 or 22:00 KI time, depending on the student’s schedule.

    (08/09 13:19:42) shokhootahn Rehn: There are daytime openings starting at either 10:00 KI time, 11:00 KI time, or 12:00 KI time, again, depending on the student’s schedule. Contact me by PM to set up a day and a time, KI mail me at KI# 80428, or on Discord at r’Tayrtahn.

    (08/09 13:20:07) shokhootahn Rehn: (Discord is best)

    (08/09 13:20:15) shokhootahn Rehn: All classes are Monday through Friday, only. There are no weekend classes available.

    (08/09 13:20:28) shokhootahn Rehn: If you are going to contact me by KI-mail, please remember to include your KI #.

    (08/09 13:20:38) shokhootahn Rehn: As always, current students can find last-minute updates to class times on the left-hand imager.

    (08/09 13:21:10) shokhootahn Rehn: Now for some exciting news…

    (08/09 13:21:30) shokhootahn Rehn: Another victim… er, student… has finished the 201 lessons!

    (08/09 13:21:39) shokhootahn Rehn: Please give a warm round of applause to Augur!

    (08/09 13:21:43) shokhootahn Augur bows

    (08/09 13:21:44) Thumbs up from Buddy

    (08/09 13:21:55) shokhootahn Ana: Yay, Augur!!!

    (08/09 13:22:10) shokhootahn Rehn: Also, there is now one more instructor in the Guild of Instructors.

    (08/09 13:22:30) shokhootahn Rehn: Augur has decided to continue his studies and be a teacher in he Guild!

    (08/09 13:22:37) Ereshkigal: Oh wow!

    (08/09 13:22:38) shokhootahn Augur bows

    (08/09 13:22:43) *Jodok*: Wow

    (08/09 13:22:43) uru348: Affiliation!

    (08/09 13:22:44) neurovac: that’s fantastic

    (08/09 13:22:48) Dreamer3: Woot woot!

    (08/09 13:22:56) shokhootahn Rehn: Since shokhootahn Ana was his instructor for the lessons, she will be mentoring him as he begins to teach his first students. 🙂

    (08/09 13:23:06) skyisblu: Congratulations!

    (08/09 13:23:07) shokhootahn Ana bows

    (08/09 13:23:11) shokhootahn Rehn: Please give a warm round of applause for both of them!

    (08/09 13:23:22) Claidi Song: \clap

    (08/09 13:23:45) shokhootahn Rehn: The Guild of Instructors’ Hood will be open and public unless a class is in session.

    (08/09 13:23:55) Claidi Song: I’m guessing shokhootahn means “teacher”?

    (08/09 13:24:07) uru348: So we can expect more shokhootahntee in attendance?

    (08/09 13:24:12) shokhootahn Rehn: shokhootahn = instructor 🙂

    (08/09 13:24:19) Claidi Song: Ah!

    (08/09 13:24:39) shokhootahn Rehn: I have one request for visitors: Please do not post pellet points into the Hood imager…

    (08/09 13:24:50) shokhootahn Rehn: As I’ve said, before, one of my former students, Yutiel, is listed on that imager. I have refrained from posting pellets to maintain her name at the top as a form of memorial. It’s why I haven’t posted pellet points above 168345: it was to keep her name at the top of the list.

    (08/09 13:24:57) shokhootahn Rehn: Are there any questions?

    (08/09 13:25:00) Claidi Song: No questions in the queue.

    (08/09 13:25:07) IwonK: what’s the meaning of life?

    (08/09 13:25:12) thor-ham: 42

    (08/09 13:25:12) shokhootahn Rehn: 421

    (08/09 13:25:13) Buddy: 42

    (08/09 13:25:14) caver1: 42

    (08/09 13:25:18) *Jodok*: 42

    (08/09 13:25:18) PodHopper: 😀

    (08/09 13:25:21) IwonK: 😀

    (08/09 13:25:22) Calum Traveler: 42

    (08/09 13:25:22) Buddy: lol

    (08/09 13:25:24) Prad: What was the question?

    (08/09 13:25:30) shokhootahn Rehn: 42! (schhtoopid Shift key!)

    (08/09 13:25:34) Claidi Song: You didn’t find the answer during this last month,IwonK?

    (08/09 13:25:46) shokhootahn Rehn: Moving on…

    (08/09 13:25:52) shokhootahn Rehn: The second announcement is about r’Taytahn’s Story Night.

    (08/09 13:26:03) IwonK: yes, but I lost it in bahro cave

    (08/09 13:26:10) shokhootahn Rehn: Tonight, we will continue with the story of young Atrus as told in the novel, Myst: The Book of Atrus. This will be part four of fourteen. Tonight, we will learn about Atrus’ lessons in D’ni writing, lessons in D’ni heritage, and lessons of his father’s true nature.

    (08/09 13:26:20) Caeser: Do you mind buddy?

    (08/09 13:26:34) shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night covers the entire 10,000-year history of the D’ni plus all of the books and games, as well as the three human attempts at the restoration of D’ni!

    (08/09 13:26:55) ShilohOBrien raises a hand again.

    (08/09 13:27:12) shokhootahn Rehn: Yes, Shiloh?

    (08/09 13:27:31) ShilohOBrien: Are you covering the original MYST books with this pass or the revised ones?

    (08/09 13:27:41) shokhootahn Rehn: Original

    (08/09 13:27:55) ShilohOBrien: Then will you be doing the revised in the future?

    (08/09 13:28:37) shokhootahn Rehn: Possibly. I have a lot of irons in the fire so it will depend on available time.

    (08/09 13:28:43) ShilohOBrien: Thank you.

    (08/09 13:29:02) ural: How much chsnged?

    (08/09 13:29:03) shokhootahn Rehn: !meoor (You’re welcome!)

    (08/09 13:29:12) shokhootahn Rehn: I am recording Story Night for (eventual) upload to my YouTube channel (rTayrtahn). I have created an avatar for the purpose of recording. His name is “I’m a bot, do not message”. Please do not PM him during the story unless you want to see your message displayed for the entire internet. 😉 Also, please do NOT add him as a buddy. He has no special abilities and is there only to record Story Night.

    (08/09 13:29:36) shokhootahn Rehn: The channel is current through March 20, 2021. [Unfortunaterly, surface life this past month has prevented me from making any headway.]

    (08/09 13:29:46) shokhootahn Rehn: Like I said, I have a backlog to work through!

    (08/09 13:29:58) shokhootahn Rehn: As an aside, I am also providing caption translations into several languages: French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish. Since I don’t speak any of those languages, it will be up to my viewers to tell me how well that is working out. 🙂

    (08/09 13:30:10) shokhootahn Rehn: Let me know if you would like to see any additional translations.

    (08/09 13:30:17) shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night is held in the public neighborhood of Tsahno’s Hood every Saturday.

    (08/09 13:30:26) shokhootahn Rehn: Original Story Night is held at 23:30 KI time on Saturday night. We start gathering at the hood’s fountain starting at 23:00 KI time.

    (08/09 13:30:36) shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night – Europe is held at 14:00 KI time on Saturday afternoon. We start gathering at the hood’s fountain starting at 13:00 KI time except for AGM Saturdays, when it starts at 14:30 KI or 30 minutes after the AGM, whichever is later.

    (08/09 13:30:50) shokhootahn Rehn: Lately, it’s been starting at 14:30 on AGM Saturdays. 🙂

    (08/09 13:30:58) shokhootahn Rehn: I also post changes on the left-hand imager in the hood.

    (08/09 13:31:18) shokhootahn Rehn: Should I need to cancel one of the stories at the last minute, I will try to aprise one or two of my regular audience members of the situation so they can spread the news. 🙂

    (08/09 13:31:25) shokhootahn Rehn: Minasunda is one of those members, as she runs the announcements channel on Discord.

    (08/09 13:31:36) shokhootahn Rehn: The stories are told using voice so you will need to have your speakers or headsets on.

    (08/09 13:31:43) shokhootahn Rehn: r’Tayrtahn announces the start of Story Night through buddy chat. If you would like to receive the announcements, please send r’T a KI mail (with your KI number included in the text) and he’ll add you to his buddies list. His KI number is 58324. KI mails do not identify the KI number of the sender. Though the sender is added to the Recents folder, it is still a good idea to add it to the body of the text. 🙂

    (08/09 13:32:09) shokhootahn Rehn: We hope to see you there!

    (08/09 13:32:14) shokhootahn Rehn: Any questions?

    (08/09 13:37:21) ShilohOBrien throws IwonK another scotch egg.

    (08/09 13:37:31) IwonK: This time I picked something different 🙂 Due to popular demand, I will make a stream about games from one country. I had made a list of countries some moula players come from and then I let the door in Tsogal chose the order 😀 soooo…

    (08/09 13:37:40) IwonK catches the egg in another sandwich

    (08/09 13:37:49) IwonK: This month’s topic is “Hungarian games”! I have some titles in my mind already but if you know any interesting games I could talk about (and draw), feel free to throw them my way 🙂

    (08/09 13:38:46) ShilohOBrien does not make the obvious joke.

    (08/09 13:42:41) shokhootahn Augur: Shorah, all!

    (08/09 13:42:50) shokhootahn Augur: In July we had another wonderful book club discussion about a tea monk and robot… with some speculation about the meaning of life. 😀

    (08/09 13:43:06) shokhootahn Augur: A few weeks ago, we voted on our next read and selected… drum roll…

    (08/09 13:43:07) Buddy: 42

    (08/09 13:43:20) shokhootahn Augur: …”Ready Player One” by Ernest Cline, in our first blowout win!

    (08/09 13:43:34) shokhootahn Augur: If you haven’t heard of the novel, you might be familiar with its movie version from 2018. 🙂

    (08/09 13:43:44) ural: Saw that movie!!

    (08/09 13:43:52) shokhootahn Augur: We will meet in the same time, same place as usual–12:30 KIT, September 13th, in the Eder Delin of Nezetahn’s Hood. While I won’t be able to be there for this meeting, due to surface travel, I am hopeful that folks will still have a great time chatting about Cline’s videogame-centric sci-fi novel!

    (08/09 13:43:55) thor-ham: Seen it, don’t have the t-shirt

    (08/09 13:43:57) shokhootahn Rehn: That was a great book!

    (08/09 13:44:01) philipgr: O have it on DVD

    (08/09 13:44:18) Korov’ev: oops, crashed

    (08/09 13:44:37) shokhootahn Augur: One final note that I want to make sure to share:

    (08/09 13:44:39) Claidi Song: wb Kor

    (08/09 13:44:54) shokhootahn Augur: EVERYONE is welcome at our book club meetings. By no means do you have to read every selection and make it to every meeting to join us. If only once a year something is picked that piques your interest, by all means drop in just for that one meeting!

    (08/09 13:45:50) thor-ham nods his head

    (08/09 13:46:46) Claidi Song beckons you

    (08/09 13:46:46) Claidi Song: Come on up, Cal!

    (08/09 13:46:49) Calum Traveler: this is not an applause worthy thing

    (08/09 13:46:53) Claidi Song: Because this is a sensitive subject,

    (08/09 13:46:59) Claidi Song: PLEASE, No comments, interruptions or questions to either Cal or me.

    (08/09 13:47:11) Calum Traveler: if you have questions, PLEASE DM me on discord,

    (08/09 13:47:12) *Jodok* boooooes instead of clapping hands

    (08/09 13:47:17) Calum Traveler: harleytraveler263

    (08/09 13:47:25) ShilohOBrien: Guys, behave.

    (08/09 13:47:29) rarified: Please… shhh.

    (08/09 13:47:31) Calum Traveler: yes, please, this is serious

    (08/09 13:47:34) Calum Traveler: very serious

    (08/09 13:47:55) Calum Traveler: last month i gave a brief mention that Doobes was gone, but i avoided talking about it for several critical reasons.

    (08/09 13:48:05) Calum Traveler: unfortunately, with the GoMe website down, I now have to make a statement.

    (08/09 13:48:16) Calum Traveler: yall have been asking me all week privately and publicly, so… yeah.

    (08/09 13:48:21) Calum Traveler brings forth a prepared note card

    (08/09 13:48:28) Calum Traveler: here is the official statement i have been approved to give:

    (08/09 13:48:48) Calum Traveler: Doobes has gotten himself mixed up in ***SIGNIFICANT LEGAL TROUBLE.***

    (08/09 13:49:04) Calum Traveler: We do not know HOW he got involved with what he got involved in

    (08/09 13:49:18) Calum Traveler: nor do we know for how LONG he was involved in what he got involved in.

    (08/09 13:49:46) Calum Traveler: all we know for sure is what is publicly available info, and that is: That he has landed himself in a *Very* Serious Situation.

    (08/09 13:50:04) Calum Traveler: as I said earlier, if you have any questions, please DM me on discord.

    (08/09 13:50:14) Calum Traveler: that is the end of the prepared statement,

    (08/09 13:50:18) Claidi Song: To clarify the US legal system in such cases:

    (08/09 13:50:18) Calum Traveler: ill reiterate this:

    (08/09 13:50:26) Claidi Song: Go ahead

    (08/09 13:50:29) Calum Traveler: ahhem

    (08/09 13:50:41) Calum Traveler: While the US legal system has a presumed Innocent Until Proven Guilty,

    (08/09 13:51:11) Calum Traveler: the situation is one serious enough that we have to assume that even in the best case scenario where he has escaped from this scott free, it WILL be haunting him for the rest of his life.

    (08/09 13:51:50) Calum Traveler: as ive been told from those that have talked to him, Doobes has no intention of returning to the community, even in that case.

    (08/09 13:52:37) Buddy: He will always have friends here!

    (08/09 13:52:58) Calum Traveler: im sure yall can start to piece together from the information ive stated previously about why many of Doobes’ projects were suspended, and why ive had to rebuild chiso preniv

    (08/09 13:53:14) Caeser: Don’t put out anything that is false, if he got away Scott free, means he is out hot water of it. Dosen’t really make him guilty.

    (08/09 13:53:31) Calum Traveler: I am not going to state publicly what he got into

    (08/09 13:53:42) Calum Traveler: iam not going to state my own feelings on the matter.

    (08/09 13:54:01) Calum Traveler: i am going to REITERATE that we know *very little* except what is already public record.

    (08/09 13:54:18) Calum Traveler: this is an ongoing legal matter.

    (08/09 13:54:21) Calum Traveler: and a very serious one.

    (08/09 13:54:38) Calum Traveler: we do not know anything concrete, and we likely WONT know anything for years

    (08/09 13:54:41) ShilohOBrien pulls a bottle of whiskey from her messanger bag, pulls the cork with her teeth, spits the cork across the room, takes a swig and passes the bottle to the closest person.

    (08/09 13:54:53) Buddy is sad

    (08/09 13:55:22) Calum Traveler: all i will say in closing is that you are welcome to search for the facts of your own accord, or reach out to me in DM, but I will warn you

    (08/09 13:55:32) Calum Traveler: it is a HEAVY piece of cursed information, given the unknown facts of the case.

    (08/09 13:55:52) shokhootahn Ana: This is such very sad news…

    (08/09 13:55:54) rarified: Thank you Calum Traveler for your efforts in handling a delicate situation, as well as

    (08/09 13:55:59) neurovac: Calum, thank you for that.

    (08/09 13:56:06) rarified: picking up some of the pieces.

    (08/09 13:56:11) Ereshkigal: Thank you so much for sharing, Calum! This is really hard on you especially

    (08/09 13:56:13) Calum Traveler: do not go searching for this information unless you are *CERTAIN* to 1000% that you can handle taking a pyschological toll of this nature.

    (08/09 13:56:20) ShilohOBrien: Thank you, Calum. I can tell this has been torture for you.

    (08/09 13:56:22) Buddy: Thanks Calum… I know it was painful for you as well.

    (08/09 13:56:28) Calum Traveler: it’s been six months of this.

    (08/09 13:56:45) rarified: It is not your burden to bear

    (08/09 13:56:49) Claidi Song: This is very hard for Cal!

    (08/09 13:56:53) shokhootahn Ana: We appreciate your candor and circumspectus.

    (08/09 13:56:58) PodHopper: I’m not wired for legal things, so don’t worry

    (08/09 13:57:25) thor-ham: Well said Calum, thank you.

    (08/09 13:57:30) ShilohOBrien: If we ever manage to make Mysterium at the same time, your drink bill will be covered by me.

    (08/09 13:57:35) Calum Traveler: i understand your thoughts there, rarified, but as ive had to tell some other folks, I *was* looped in under the expectation that I would have the emotional stability to handle this better than those closer to the matter.

    (08/09 13:57:47) Calum Traveler: those who told me were hit very hard by this.

    (08/09 13:57:53) caver1: Peace be with his family and friends.

    (08/09 13:57:54) Claidi Song: hugs Cal, Thank you, Cal!

    (08/09 13:58:00) Calum Traveler: and understandably, they didnt want to be bothered with questions.

    (08/09 13:58:07) Calum Traveler: so again, if you have any, *DM* me on Discord.

    (08/09 13:58:17) Calum Traveler: not in cyan chat

    (08/09 13:58:19) shokhootahn Ana: Thank you, Cal. Big hugs to you!

    (08/09 13:58:21) Calum Traveler: not in mysterium

    (08/09 13:58:23) Calum Traveler: not in OU

    (08/09 13:58:27) Calum Traveler: *Over DM*

    (08/09 13:58:35) Theo: The ending will never be written….

    (08/09 13:58:44) Ereshkigal sends hugs

    (08/09 13:58:51) ShilohOBrien: Yeah, folks! Respect Calum, his privacy and his boundries!!!

    (08/09 13:58:54) Calum Traveler: ill reiterate, my handle is harleyTraveler263

    (08/09 13:59:13) *Jodok* hugs Harley

    (08/09 13:59:15) Calum Traveler: theres only one other thing i have to say

    (08/09 13:59:20) Calum Traveler: if you know the full details already,

    (08/09 13:59:37) Calum Traveler: im sorry that you and everyone else involved have to deal with this.

    (08/09 14:00:14) Calum Traveler: i will not be making further public statements on thie nature of this case, and if anyone asks me publicly for updates, i will reiterate “SIGNIFICANT LEGAL TROUBLE”

    (08/09 14:00:31) Calum Traveler: this is not me being cagey because i want to cover it up or whatever,

    (08/09 14:00:46) Buddy: We understand

    (08/09 14:00:49) Calum Traveler: this is because it is a very delicate matter that is very hard to cover openly for various reasons,

    (08/09 14:01:08) Calum Traveler: i dont want anyone getting permabanned off discord, for example.

    (08/09 14:01:33) ShilohOBrien: So everyone be adults and mind your buisness.

    (08/09 14:01:36) Calum Traveler: and also, i do not want to open myself to potential defamation charges should it turn out that evrything worked out for the best.

    (08/09 14:01:44) Calum Traveler: yes, Take This Matter Seriously.

    (08/09 14:02:06) Calum Traveler: i wish i could have told everyone the truth when it happened, but for various reasons, I knew that was NOT the way to go about it.

    (08/09 14:02:14) Calum Traveler: and if you know the full details

    (08/09 14:02:16) Emrai: Thank you for handling this so well, Cal.

    (08/09 14:02:16) Calum Traveler: you know why.

    (08/09 14:02:25) Emor D’ni Lap: enough already, pleae.

    (08/09 14:02:28) Calum Traveler: its been a hell of a year

    (08/09 14:02:30) Emor D’ni Lap: please

    (08/09 14:02:32) Calum Traveler: take care everyone.

    (08/09 14:02:34) Calum Traveler: and no applause.

    (08/09 14:02:38) Theo: As you have said, this is what you’ve been authorized to say.

    (08/09 14:02:45) Claidi Song: Thank you Cal!

    (08/09 14:02:46) Ereshkigal: Thank you

    (08/09 14:02:49) Claidi Song: Summary of US process: There was an arrest. There has been an indictment passed down by the Georgia Grand Jury. In the US this means there is enough evidence that formal charges MAY be made. A trial MAY then follow. Currently there is no verdict.

    (08/09 14:02:49) *Jodok*: Thx

    (08/09 14:02:52) PodHopper thanks you very much!

    (08/09 14:02:55) Calum Traveler: dont thank me, im just the messenger.

    (08/09 14:02:56) Diranda: Thanks Cal.

    (08/09 14:02:58) Buddy: Thanks you Calum

    (08/09 14:03:09) Emor D’ni Lap: enough already, everyone

    (08/09 14:03:12) Claidi Song: MOST IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER

    (08/09 14:03:18) Claidi Song: This situation Affects MOULa, obviously . . .

    (08/09 14:03:23) Claidi Song: \

    (08/09 14:03:30) Claidi Song: however, In No Way does this situation Reflect on the MOULa Community. Let’s move on into the future together!

    (08/09 14:03:38) shokhootahn Rehn: Yes!

    (08/09 14:03:46) *Jodok*: Yes

    (08/09 14:03:55) Ereshkigal: Yes, that is important to remember! We are more than one person

    (08/09 14:03:57) Buddy: We are stronger together!

    (08/09 14:04:11) Claidi Song: Yes!

    (08/09 14:04:19) Claidi Song thanks you

    (08/09 14:04:19) Claidi Song: Thank you to everyone for coming to AGM!

    (08/09 14:04:53) shokhootahn Rehn: Thanks, Claidi!

    (08/09 14:04:57) Dreamer3: Thanks Claidi and all : – )

    (08/09 14:05:02) RedUhuru: Thanks Claidi and bye for now.

    (08/09 14:05:04) Claidi Song waves goodbye

  • All Guilds Meeting – August 2025 – Raw Chatlog

    (08/09 13:00:59) Claidi Song: Welcome to the 184th All Guilds Meeting!
    (08/09 13:01:00) shokhootahn Augur: Ooh, that’s a delicious idea, Shiloh. Maybe with mushrooms?
    (08/09 13:01:04) skyisblu: That’s a great idea – I’ll look up some ideas, ShilohOBrien 🙂
    (08/09 13:01:05) ShilohOBrien: Yep!
    (08/09 13:01:21) Claidi Song: By the D’ni calendar, today is Leetar 1 9681 DE.
    (08/09 13:01:32) Claidi Song: If you are new to the Cavern or returning after being away for some time: Welcome! You have arrived at an exciting time in MOULa!
    (08/09 13:01:51) Claidi Song: All Guilds Meeting (AGM) meets from 13:00 KI – 13:55 KI on the first Saturday of each month.
    (08/09 13:01:58) ShilohOBrien: Cavern foodies unite!!!
    (08/09 13:02:03) Claidi Song: Times in MOULa are shown in KI Time which corresponds to the Mountain Time Zone.
    (08/09 13:02:14) Claidi Song: The next “All Guilds Meeting” will be Saturday, 6th of September 2025 at 13 KIT. See you all, then!
    (08/09 13:02:31) RedUhuru: that was short
    (08/09 13:02:34) Korov’ev: It was a short meeting
    (08/09 13:02:36) PodHopper: so short?
    (08/09 13:02:38) thor-ham: lol
    (08/09 13:02:40) Calum Traveler: lol
    (08/09 13:02:41) Diranda: lol
    (08/09 13:02:41) ShilohOBrien blinks
    (08/09 13:02:46) Claidi Song: But don’t leave yet lol
    (08/09 13:02:50) skyisblu laughs
    (08/09 13:02:56) Calum Traveler: i thought i zoned out for a moment
    (08/09 13:03:01) rarified: Not until the cookies arrive.
    (08/09 13:03:02) Ereshkigal: Copy paste can go wrong, it happens all the time to me
    (08/09 13:03:04) Claidi Song: I actually didn’t realize I added that :)))
    (08/09 13:03:06) Calum Traveler: did i really miss both name calls Id asked? But no, lol.
    (08/09 13:03:07) ShilohOBrien passes around the container of scotch eggs to the newcomers.
    (08/09 13:03:17) Claidi Song: ~~~ AGM Rules ~~~
    (08/09 13:03:19) Diranda: time skipping
    (08/09 13:03:22) Claidi Song: 1. Keep chatter to a minimum while the speakers are talking. Be respectful and let the speaker finish.
    (08/09 13:03:39) Claidi Song: 2. Hold all questions until after the speaker asks for questions at the end of their presentation.
    (08/09 13:03:56) Claidi Song: 3. Speakers: please indicate when you are ready for questions. And indicate when you’re ready for the next question.
    (08/09 13:04:03) Claidi Song: Questions may be directly messaged to me to be added to the questions queue for Q&A after each presenter is done. Keep DM’d questions brief and on the speaker’s topic.
    (08/09 13:04:29) rarified: What about the blue button? 😉
    (08/09 13:04:31) Claidi Song: 4. If a question requires a long answer, we may need to skip it to stay on track. In that case, please, DM the speaker after they’ve left the platform.
    (08/09 13:04:44) ShilohOBrien tosses a scotch egg directly to IwonK.
    (08/09 13:04:48) skyisblu: don;t call attention to the blue button, rarified 😉
    (08/09 13:05:06) IwonK catches the egg in a sandwich
    (08/09 13:05:06) Prad: neither the red button
    (08/09 13:05:15) Claidi Song: Korov’ev is going to share the next rule as things are changin around lately.
    (08/09 13:05:26) Ereshkigal claps her hands
    (08/09 13:05:28) Korov’ev: it’s like the little red button on the ZF-1
    (08/09 13:05:34) Buddy: I MUST press the buttons!!!!
    (08/09 13:05:36) rarified claps his hands
    (08/09 13:05:39) RedUhuru claps his hands
    (08/09 13:05:41) skyisblu claps her hands
    (08/09 13:05:42) IwonK claps her hands
    (08/09 13:05:43) shokhootahn Augur claps his hands
    (08/09 13:05:45) shokhootahn Rehn claps his hands
    (08/09 13:05:47) Baldric The Dung claps his hands
    (08/09 13:05:47) shokhootahn Ana claps her hands

    (08/09 13:05:49) Dreamer3 claps his hands
    (08/09 13:05:49) Buddy claps his hands
    (08/09 13:05:49) philipgr claps his hands
    (08/09 13:05:51) Korov’ev waves hello
    (08/09 13:05:51) Korov’ev: Shorah everyone!
    (08/09 13:05:51) uru348 claps his hands
    (08/09 13:05:51) PodHopper claps his hands
    (08/09 13:05:52) Calum Traveler claps his hands
    (08/09 13:05:55) *Jodok* claps his hands
    (08/09 13:05:59) ShilohOBrien claps her hands
    (08/09 13:06:04) Cave woman claps her hands
    (08/09 13:06:10) Korov’ev: Straight to the point: we lost the Messengers website 🙁
    (08/09 13:06:21) rarified is sad
    (08/09 13:06:22) shokhootahn Rehn: :-((
    (08/09 13:06:25) Korov’ev: I won’t go into the details again, but since the website was owned by Doobes, I wouldn’t count on it coming back anytime soon.
    (08/09 13:06:29) ural: :((((
    (08/09 13:06:34) Baldric The Dung: 🙁
    (08/09 13:06:34) philipgr is very sad
    (08/09 13:06:36) ShilohOBrien: I wondered about that.
    (08/09 13:06:36) Ereshkigal: Oh no…
    (08/09 13:06:37) Calum Traveler: ill have a statement about doobes at the end of the AGM
    (08/09 13:06:43) Calum Traveler: so dont ask kor questions about that now.
    (08/09 13:06:56) Korov’ev: Right
    (08/09 13:07:00) Korov’ev: A discussion could be had on the utility of a news website in a world of social media, but there are a few immediate practical issues I’d like to address.
    (08/09 13:07:09) Korov’ev: I’ll touch on a few points, but to avoid taking too much time from the Meeting, I suggest we keep the discussion for later if it gets too long 😉
    (08/09 13:07:22) Korov’ev: 1. Calendar: the actual calendar is based on Google, so the public link is still valid, if a bit cumbersome:
    (08/09 13:07:23) Claidi Song: \yes
    (08/09 13:07:29) Korov’ev: https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?height=600&wkst=1&bgcolor=%23FFFFFF&src=guild@guildofmessengers.com&color=%23FFC300&ctz=America/Denver
    (08/09 13:07:31) Claidi Song nods her head
    (08/09 13:07:38) rarified: :O
    (08/09 13:07:40) Korov’ev: Or, if you can trust Bitly, a while ago I made a short URL version: https://bit.ly/GoMe_cal – there are also a few localised versions, just append “_ce”, “_uk”, “_ru” or “_jp”
    (08/09 13:07:49) Korov’ev: 2. Chatlogs: I have all the raw and cleansed chatlogs since 2016 (and a few from before that). As a quick and dirty solution I can set up a public Dropbox folder.
    (08/09 13:07:53) thor-ham: whoa… where’s my pencil
    (08/09 13:08:06) Korov’ev: I’ll slow down 🙂
    (08/09 13:08:18) Korov’ev: I’m used to rapid fire copypaste 🙂
    (08/09 13:08:26) Korov’ev: But perhaps saving them e.g. in a wiki could be a better option? It would be a bit of work though (9 years x 12 months, plus this year).
    (08/09 13:08:27) Swifthawk: type: /startlog
    (08/09 13:08:35) Calum Traveler: a wiki might be best, yes
    (08/09 13:08:39) Korov’ev: 3. Tutorials: there were a few tutorials about troubleshooting MOULa errors and installing shards on macOS and Linux. I wrote them, so I’m a bit biased about saving them 🙂
    (08/09 13:08:42) rarified: I could host a copy of the chatlogs if a simple web page would suffice.
    (08/09 13:08:52) Korov’ev: I’ve already started salvaging them to the Writers wiki. I think this is actually an improvement, since once they’re wikified, anyone will be able to update them, not just me.
    (08/09 13:09:04) Thumbs up from Calum Traveler
    (08/09 13:09:08) Korov’ev: The MacOS and Linux ones especially will need a thorough audit, since I’m a bit behind the latest developments.
    (08/09 13:09:21) Korov’ev: 4. Rel.to: admin login depended on the GoMe website, and iirc it already didn’t work with the latest version.
    (08/09 13:09:30) Korov’ev: So I’m afraid the Myst-specific URL shortening tool is locked and unchangeable now, if I’m not mistaken.
    (08/09 13:09:43) Emor D’ni Lap: guildofmessengers.net is available. Nothing wrong with a .net suffix. I will be happy to reserve it immediately and transfer to whoever wants to resurrect the site.
    (08/09 13:09:55) Calum Traveler: i didnt even think about the rel.to side of things, wow.
    (08/09 13:10:02) Korov’ev: That’s an option too
    (08/09 13:10:04) Korov’ev: A menu in the GoMe website had a shortlist of active Uru-related websites, perhaps a similar shortlist on a wiki page could work?
    (08/09 13:10:05) ShilohOBrien raises a hand
    (08/09 13:10:18) Korov’ev: Yes, Shiloh?
    (08/09 13:10:28) Swifthawk: I can build and host whatever anyone might want.
    (08/09 13:10:49) Korov’ev: 5. AGM summaries, new Age announcements, etc.: the meat of the website, and the most uncertain at the moment.
    (08/09 13:10:50) ShilohOBrien: What is the difference in utility between having a GoMe wiki vs a dedicated website for it?
    (08/09 13:11:20) Korov’ev: The main part of the website was a blog/news website
    (08/09 13:11:37) Korov’ev: So a wiki isn’t probably the best model?
    (08/09 13:11:43) ShilohOBrien nods
    (08/09 13:11:49) Korov’ev: Swifthawk (of UruTunes) has offered space to host a new version.
    (08/09 13:12:11) Korov’ev: For e.g. today’s AGM summary, I was thinking about posting in the r/Myst subreddit. At least it’d be accessible without an account.
    (08/09 13:12:14) Swifthawk waves like Forest.
    (08/09 13:12:19) Calum Traveler: sounds good as a stopgap, kor
    (08/09 13:12:24) Korov’ev: The website appears to be saved in the Wayback Machine up to July 18, 2023.
    (08/09 13:12:42) Claidi Song: nice
    (08/09 13:12:47) caver1: True.
    (08/09 13:12:48) Korov’ev: To be fair, in the last year or two activity was down to little more than AGM summaries
    (08/09 13:12:58) Christian Walther: I should have archives of everything that was in the RSS feed.
    (08/09 13:13:09) Korov’ev: Well, that’s all I have for now
    (08/09 13:13:16) Prad: they had two-monthly snapshots of the website on WBM
    (08/09 13:13:24) Claidi Song thanks you
    (08/09 13:13:24) Claidi Song: Korov’ev
    (08/09 13:13:26) Prad: *have*
    (08/09 13:13:31) Claidi Song claps her hands

    (08/09 13:15:13) Princess Luna: How can I help?
    (08/09 13:15:23) skyisblu: I just wanted to remind you that every FIRST Monday of the month, I host Cooking Sessions with Sky at 12 KI in the cavern.
    (08/09 13:15:46) skyisblu: (which was last Monday 😉 )
    (08/09 13:15:55) skyisblu: However, as per my usual schedule, I will be skipping September’s cooking session due to travel. That means you will all have to wait until October for the luscious chocolate cake recipe I have planned! It was inspired by suggestions made during our post-stream discussions(thanks IwonK!).
    (08/09 13:15:59) Calum Traveler: (fish tacos, yummy yummy)
    (08/09 13:16:06) IwonK blushes
    (08/09 13:16:20) ShilohOBrien: And after that, the Shroomie dish?

    (08/09 13:24:50) shokhootahn Rehn: As I’ve said, before, one of my former students, Yutiel, is listed on that imager. I have refrained from posting pellets to maintain her name at the top as a form of memorial. It’s why I haven’t posted pellet points above 168345: it was to keep her name at the top of the list.
    (08/09 13:24:57) shokhootahn Rehn: Are there any questions?

    (08/09 13:27:12) shokhootahn Rehn: Yes, Shiloh?
    (08/09 13:27:31) ShilohOBrien: Are you covering the original MYST books with this pass or the revised ones?
    (08/09 13:27:41) shokhootahn Rehn: Original
    (08/09 13:27:55) ShilohOBrien: Then will you be doing the revised in the future?
    (08/09 13:28:37) shokhootahn Rehn: Possibly. I have a lot of irons in the fire so it will depend on available time.
    (08/09 13:28:43) ShilohOBrien: Thank you.

    (08/09 13:29:03) shokhootahn Rehn: !meoor (You’re welcome!)
    (08/09 13:29:12) shokhootahn Rehn: I am recording Story Night for (eventual) upload to my YouTube channel (rTayrtahn). I have created an avatar for the purpose of recording. His name is “I’m a bot, do not message”. Please do not PM him during the story unless you want to see your message displayed for the entire internet. 😉 Also, please do NOT add him as a buddy. He has no special abilities and is there only to record Story Night.
    (08/09 13:29:36) shokhootahn Rehn: The channel is current through March 20, 2021. [Unfortunaterly, surface life this past month has prevented me from making any headway.]
    (08/09 13:29:46) shokhootahn Rehn: Like I said, I have a backlog to work through!
    (08/09 13:29:58) shokhootahn Rehn: As an aside, I am also providing caption translations into several languages: French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish. Since I don’t speak any of those languages, it will be up to my viewers to tell me how well that is working out. 🙂
    (08/09 13:30:10) shokhootahn Rehn: Let me know if you would like to see any additional translations.
    (08/09 13:30:17) shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night is held in the public neighborhood of Tsahno’s Hood every Saturday.
    (08/09 13:30:26) shokhootahn Rehn: Original Story Night is held at 23:30 KI time on Saturday night. We start gathering at the hood’s fountain starting at 23:00 KI time.
    (08/09 13:30:36) shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night – Europe is held at 14:00 KI time on Saturday afternoon. We start gathering at the hood’s fountain starting at 13:00 KI time except for AGM Saturdays, when it starts at 14:30 KI or 30 minutes after the AGM, whichever is later.
    (08/09 13:30:50) shokhootahn Rehn: Lately, it’s been starting at 14:30 on AGM Saturdays. 🙂
    (08/09 13:30:58) shokhootahn Rehn: I also post changes on the left-hand imager in the hood.
    (08/09 13:31:18) shokhootahn Rehn: Should I need to cancel one of the stories at the last minute, I will try to aprise one or two of my regular audience members of the situation so they can spread the news. 🙂
    (08/09 13:31:25) shokhootahn Rehn: Minasunda is one of those members, as she runs the announcements channel on Discord.
    (08/09 13:31:36) shokhootahn Rehn: The stories are told using voice so you will need to have your speakers or headsets on.
    (08/09 13:31:43) shokhootahn Rehn: r’Tayrtahn announces the start of Story Night through buddy chat. If you would like to receive the announcements, please send r’T a KI mail (with your KI number included in the text) and he’ll add you to his buddies list. His KI number is 58324. KI mails do not identify the KI number of the sender. Though the sender is added to the Recents folder, it is still a good idea to add it to the body of the text. 🙂
    (08/09 13:32:09) shokhootahn Rehn: We hope to see you there!
    (08/09 13:32:14) shokhootahn Rehn: Any questions?

    (08/09 13:47:31) Calum Traveler: yes, please, this is serious
    (08/09 13:47:34) Calum Traveler: very serious
    (08/09 13:47:55) Calum Traveler: last month i gave a brief mention that Doobes was gone, but i avoided talking about it for several critical reasons.
    (08/09 13:48:05) Calum Traveler: unfortunately, with the GoMe website down, I now have to make a statement.
    (08/09 13:48:16) Calum Traveler: yall have been asking me all week privately and publicly, so… yeah.
    (08/09 13:48:21) Calum Traveler brings forth a prepared note card
    (08/09 13:48:28) Calum Traveler: here is the official statement i have been approved to give:
    (08/09 13:48:48) Calum Traveler: Doobes has gotten himself mixed up in ***SIGNIFICANT LEGAL TROUBLE.***
    (08/09 13:49:04) Calum Traveler: We do not know HOW he got involved with what he got involved in
    (08/09 13:49:18) Calum Traveler: nor do we know for how LONG he was involved in what he got involved in.
    (08/09 13:49:46) Calum Traveler: all we know for sure is what is publicly available info, and that is: That he has landed himself in a *Very* Serious Situation.
    (08/09 13:50:04) Calum Traveler: as I said earlier, if you have any questions, please DM me on discord.
    (08/09 13:50:14) Calum Traveler: that is the end of the prepared statement,
    (08/09 13:50:18) Claidi Song: To clarify the US legal system in such cases:
    (08/09 13:50:18) Calum Traveler: ill reiterate this:
    (08/09 13:50:26) Claidi Song: Go ahead
    (08/09 13:50:29) Calum Traveler: ahhem
    (08/09 13:50:41) Calum Traveler: While the US legal system has a presumed Innocent Until Proven Guilty,
    (08/09 13:51:11) Calum Traveler: the situation is one serious enough that we have to assume that even in the best case scenario where he has escaped from this scott free, it WILL be haunting him for the rest of his life.
    (08/09 13:51:50) Calum Traveler: as ive been told from those that have talked to him, Doobes has no intention of returning to the community, even in that case.
    (08/09 13:52:37) Buddy: He will always have friends here!
    (08/09 13:52:58) Calum Traveler: im sure yall can start to piece together from the information ive stated previously about why many of Doobes’ projects were suspended, and why ive had to rebuild chiso preniv
    (08/09 13:53:14) Caeser: Don’t put out anything that is false, if he got away Scott free, means he is out hot water of it. Dosen’t really make him guilty.
    (08/09 13:53:31) Calum Traveler: I am not going to state publicly what he got into
    (08/09 13:53:42) Calum Traveler: iam not going to state my own feelings on the matter.
    (08/09 13:54:01) Calum Traveler: i am going to REITERATE that we know *very little* except what is already public record.
    (08/09 13:54:18) Calum Traveler: this is an ongoing legal matter.
    (08/09 13:54:21) Calum Traveler: and a very serious one.
    (08/09 13:54:38) Calum Traveler: we do not know anything concrete, and we likely WONT know anything for years
    (08/09 13:54:41) ShilohOBrien pulls a bottle of whiskey from her messanger bag, pulls the cork with her teeth, spits the cork across the room, takes a swig and passes the bottle to the closest person.
    (08/09 13:54:53) Buddy is sad
    (08/09 13:55:22) Calum Traveler: all i will say in closing is that you are welcome to search for the facts of your own accord, or reach out to me in DM, but I will warn you
    (08/09 13:55:32) Calum Traveler: it is a HEAVY piece of cursed information, given the unknown facts of the case.
    (08/09 13:55:52) shokhootahn Ana: This is such very sad news…
    (08/09 13:55:54) rarified: Thank you Calum Traveler for your efforts in handling a delicate situation, as well as

    (08/09 13:56:13) Calum Traveler: do not go searching for this information unless you are *CERTAIN* to 1000% that you can handle taking a pyschological toll of this nature.
    (08/09 13:56:20) ShilohOBrien: Thank you, Calum. I can tell this has been torture for you.
    (08/09 13:56:22) Buddy: Thanks Calum… I know it was painful for you as well.
    (08/09 13:56:28) Calum Traveler: it’s been six months of this.
    (08/09 13:56:45) rarified: It is not your burden to bear
    (08/09 13:56:49) Claidi Song: This is very hard for Cal!
    (08/09 13:56:53) shokhootahn Ana: We appreciate your candor and circumspectus.
    (08/09 13:56:58) PodHopper: I’m not wired for legal things, so don’t worry
    (08/09 13:57:25) thor-ham: Well said Calum, thank you.
    (08/09 13:57:30) ShilohOBrien: If we ever manage to make Mysterium at the same time, your drink bill will be covered by me.
    (08/09 13:57:35) Calum Traveler: i understand your thoughts there, rarified, but as ive had to tell some other folks, I *was* looped in under the expectation that I would have the emotional stability to handle this better than those closer to the matter.
    (08/09 13:57:47) Calum Traveler: those who told me were hit very hard by this.
    (08/09 13:57:53) caver1: Peace be with his family and friends.
    (08/09 13:57:54) Claidi Song: hugs Cal, Thank you, Cal!
    (08/09 13:58:00) Calum Traveler: and understandably, they didnt want to be bothered with questions.
    (08/09 13:58:07) Calum Traveler: so again, if you have any, *DM* me on Discord.
    (08/09 13:58:17) Calum Traveler: not in cyan chat

    (08/09 13:58:54) Calum Traveler: ill reiterate, my handle is harleyTraveler263
    (08/09 13:59:13) *Jodok* hugs Harley
    (08/09 13:59:15) Calum Traveler: theres only one other thing i have to say
    (08/09 13:59:20) Calum Traveler: if you know the full details already,
    (08/09 13:59:37) Calum Traveler: im sorry that you and everyone else involved have to deal with this.
    (08/09 14:00:14) Calum Traveler: i will not be making further public statements on thie nature of this case, and if anyone asks me publicly for updates, i will reiterate “SIGNIFICANT LEGAL TROUBLE”
    (08/09 14:00:31) Calum Traveler: this is not me being cagey because i want to cover it up or whatever,
    (08/09 14:00:46) Buddy: We understand
    (08/09 14:00:49) Calum Traveler: this is because it is a very delicate matter that is very hard to cover openly for various reasons,
    (08/09 14:01:08) Calum Traveler: i dont want anyone getting permabanned off discord, for example.
    (08/09 14:01:33) ShilohOBrien: So everyone be adults and mind your buisness.
    (08/09 14:01:36) Calum Traveler: and also, i do not want to open myself to potential defamation charges should it turn out that evrything worked out for the best.
    (08/09 14:01:44) Calum Traveler: yes, Take This Matter Seriously.
    (08/09 14:02:06) Calum Traveler: i wish i could have told everyone the truth when it happened, but for various reasons, I knew that was NOT the way to go about it.
    (08/09 14:02:14) Calum Traveler: and if you know the full details
    (08/09 14:02:16) Emrai: Thank you for handling this so well, Cal.
    (08/09 14:02:16) Calum Traveler: you know why.
    (08/09 14:02:25) Emor D’ni Lap: enough already, pleae.
    (08/09 14:02:28) Calum Traveler: its been a hell of a year

    (08/09 14:02:32) Calum Traveler: take care everyone.

    (08/09 14:02:38) Theo: As you have said, this is what you’ve been authorized to say.
    (08/09 14:02:45) Claidi Song: Thank you Cal!
    (08/09 14:02:46) Ereshkigal: Thank you
    (08/09 14:02:49) Claidi Song: Summary of US process: There was an arrest. There has been an indictment passed down by the Georgia Grand Jury. In the US this means there is enough evidence that formal charges MAY be made. A trial MAY then follow. Currently there is no verdict.
    (08/09 14:02:49) *Jodok*: Thx
    (08/09 14:02:52) PodHopper thanks you very much!

  • August 2025 All Guilds Meeting Summary

    August 2025 All Guilds Meeting Summary

    Here is the summary for the 184th All Guilds Meeting, moderated by Claidi Song, along with the raw and cleansed chatlogs!

    Contents

    1. Guild of Messengers Website
    2. Mysterium
    3. Events in the Cavern
    4. D’ni Language Classes
    5. R’Tayrtahn’s Story Nights
    6. Miscellanea

    Guild of Messengers Website

    Korov’ev reported [a bit too soon, evidently] the loss of the Guild of Messengers news site, and addressed a few immediate repercussions:

    1. the community calendar is based on Google, so the public link is still valid; Bitly-based short URL versions are also available: USEUUKRUJP.
    2. Raw and cleansed chatlogs since 2016 (and a few from before that) are available from Korov’ev’s Dropbox folder, but perhaps saving them in a wiki could be a better option.
    3. The tutorials about MOULa errors and installing shards on macOS and Linux are being imported into the Guild of Writers wiki; as an added benefit this will allow anyone to update and fix these tutorials, as they have fallen behind the latest developments.
    4. Rel.to admin login depended on the GoMe website, so the Myst-specific URL shortening tool is locked and unchangeable at this point.
    5. AGM summaries, new Age announcements, etc. are in the most uncertain position at the moment; for now they’ll be posted in this subreddit.

    Mysterium

    ☛ The Mysterium 2025 (virtual) shirts are now available in the New Messengers Pub, so grab them while you can!

    ☛ The 2026 edition of Mysterium will be held in Portland, Oregon.

    ☛ The Creativity Prompt for August is “Bubbles”. Entries for the “End of Ages” prompt for July were from Calum Traveler and Talashar.

    Events in the Cavern

    ☛ The Cooking Sessions are on the first Monday of the month at 12:00 KIT, via Twitch, in the Guild of Caterers’ Hood. You can find past recipes and recordings at Skyisblu’s blog and YouTube channel.
    However, due to travel she will skip September’s session. In October, she will show a luscious chocolate cake recipe inspired by suggestions made during post-stream discussions.

    ☛ IwonK will host a Wonky Talk (on her Twitch channel) on Friday 15 at 15:00 KIT in the Guild of Cookies’ Hood by the heek table. This month’s topic will be “Hungarian Games”. Feel free to suggest interesting games she could talk (and draw) about. As always, there will be cookies!
    Besides streaming, IwonK is making some games of her own as a year-long gamedev challenge, using Bitsy; you can find them at her itch.io page.

    ☛ Every Saturday, Ereshkigal is hosting an Ancient Stories event at 15:00 KIT in Chiso Preniv, reading folktales, translated ancient texts, historical fiction from all over the ancient world, as well as the occasional historical-inspired fan fiction.

    ☛ Babbel will host her next classical music program in the Hall of Kings in Ae’gura, on Monday 18 at 12:00 KIT. The theme for this month is yet to be announced.

    ☛ Augur’s Speculative Fiction Book Club will discuss their current book, Ready Player One by Ernest Cline, in Nezetahn(1)’s Hood’s Eder Delin, on September 13 at 12:30 KIT. Everyone is welcome to discuss their opinions on the book, using either voice or text chat.

    ☞ For a more complete list of upcoming events, check our calendar. Times and events may change at the last minute; you can find the latest updates at:

    D’ni Language Classes

    Shokhootahn Rehn had two updates, one for the D’ni Language Classes and one for the Story Nights. Augur completed the final exam and passed the D’ni 201 class; votahret ah’shem khebahrtahtahvom! He also decided to continue his studies to become a teacher in the Guild, and will be mentored by Shokhootahn Ana.

    Visitors are asked to not post pellet points into the hood imager: one of his former students and a close friend, Yutiel Yoshi, who passed away in 2018, is listed there. He has refrained from posting pellets to maintain her name at the top, as a form of memorial.

    D’ni Language Classes schedule (click to expand)
    • Those who would like to attend the lessons should contact Rehn, preferably on Discord (r’Tayrtahn#1317), or via KImail (#80428). Be sure to include your KI number, so that Rehn can send you a reply!
    • The Guild of Instructors’ Hood will be open and public unless a class is in session. Classes are individual.
    • Daytime openings are on Monday to Friday, at 10:0011:00 or 12:00 KIT, depending on the student’s schedule.

    R’Tayrtahn’s Story Nights

    Story Night Europe and Original Story Night will continue this month with the story of young Atrus as told in the novel, Myst: The Book of Atrus. Eventually they will cover all of the books and games, as well as the three human attempts at the restoration of D’ni.

    R’Tayrtahn records videos of the sessions (via an avatar named “I’m a bot, do not message”), that he will eventually upload to his YouTube channelBe careful if you PM r’Tay or the bot during the events, as messages will be visible in the videos 😉

    Videos now also come with auto translated captions in French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Polish, Portuguese and Spanish. Automatic translation often has trouble with words like “D’ni” or “linking books”, so your mileage may vary 😉

    Story Nights schedule (click to expand)
    • Story Nights are held in Tsahno’s Hood every Saturday, gathering at the fountain at around 23:00 KIT, with the story starting at about 23:30 KIT.

    OpenUru

    Rarified mentioned that OpenUru is 15 this year. They could use a hand helping with administration of the website: it requires some knowledge of the Linux-Apache-Mysql-PHP stack, as well as forum and wiki upkeep. If you are interested, please contact Rarified on the OpenUru Discord server.

    ☛ Work on a unified client for the Minkata constallation of shards, rolling in all the improvements of the H’uru codebase, continues. They are at the stage of testing the client on a private testing server, to iron out any remaining issues. A major update to the MOSS server is also on the drawing board.

    ☛ Both the 2024 and 2025 Mysterium T-shirts should be added to the Ae’gura Messengers Pub later this year. The East Wing of the Ae’gura Messengers Pub is planned to be opened soon-ish.

    ☛ A Sameehn book should soon be added to the Chiso Preniv ring. Pod 12 is still scheduled for release later this year. There are plans to replace some of the harsher announcer lines for the Gahreesen Wall with other, more polite ones, as there have been some complaints over the years.

    Mysterium

    ☛ The schedule for Mysterium 2025 is live, and includes two excursions: on Friday, breakout rooms at Breakout Games, Atlanta/Buckhead; on Saturday, trip to the Georgia Aquarium.

    ☛ PodHopper made three announcements: first, his new websites (podhopper.nl and hoppertunes.nl) are now up and running; if you visit the old ones you will be automatically redirected.
    Second, for this year’s Summer Festival, planned for the week of August 4–10, he would like to showcase activities and events in the Cavern, but also the work involved in how new Ages make it into MOULa. He is asking creators if they would like to contribute a short video about the work they are doing, like Age building and testing. The resulting videos will be presented using a Twitch stream he will set up for the occasion.
    Third, he is also planning a Cone Race event for the Festival, but at the time of writing is just a possibility. The Festival schedule has not been nailed down yet, as soon as it will PodHopper will make it available.

    Events in the Shards

    Korov’ev reminded the Fan Age Expeditions attendees that the fourth cycle will alternate between Deep Island and The Open Cave (MOUL). In TOS, they will also visit Cyan’s Ages, trying to see them from perspectives a single explorer usually can’t get (e.g. see the Teledahn hut being drained).
    The expeditions are held every Sunday at 11:00 KIT. July 6 and 20 will be in The Open Cave; July 13 and 27 will be in Deep Island. In TOC they will gather in the “Fan Ages Touring Club” Hood. Attendees will get Nexus invites to the particular Age they are exploring, as a sort of ‘public’ instance of that Age.

    The Open Cave has a website and a Discord server. Deep Island has a forum section on the Guild of Writers’ website. Most events happening in shards are listed in our calendar.

    R’Tayrtahn’s Story Nights

    Story Night Europe and Original Story Night will continue this month with the story of the Fall, which will last for the next 2 weeks.

    (07/05 13:03:58) skyisblu: You might recall a rather entertaining conversation at the beginning of last month’s AGM that lead to cookies and ice cream.

    (07/05 13:04:13) skyisblu: This coming Monday, we will be gathering in the Guild of Caterers’ Hood to combine those two flavours, and make some amazing ice cream sandwiches!

    (07/05 13:04:14) IwonK looks away whistling innocently

    (07/05 13:04:28) skyisblu: With homemade spice cookies.

    (07/05 13:04:38) skyisblu: And homemade, NO-CHURN vanilla ice cream.

    (07/05 13:07:39) IwonK: This month’s topic is “Non-human characters in Games”! I have some titles in my mind already but if you know any interesting games I could talk about (and draw), feel free to throw them my way 🙂

    (07/05 13:08:58) Claidi Song: ~~~ Ancient Stories ~~~

    (07/05 13:09:03) Claidi Song: Eresh couldn’t make it here today. But I am relaying her announcement for tonight’s Ancient Stories:

    (07/05 13:09:09) Claidi Song: Hi everyone! Tonight we will have Ancient Stories again! We will meet at 15.00 KI in Chiso Preniv. No bot needed to get there, just the regular Chiso.

    (07/05 13:09:15) Claidi Song: Last week, we left Roman detective Flavia Albia with her lovely fiance in an unsafe, but lively neighbourhood of Rome.

    (07/05 13:09:23) Claidi Song: Tonight, we see what more mysteries she can dig up about the unfortunate barmaid, Rufia. Join me in the Chiso Library and on the stream at https://ereshkigal.caster.fm/!

    (07/05 13:09:32) Claidi Song: Classics with Babbel

    (07/05 13:10:34) Augur: Shorah, all!

    (07/05 13:10:44) Augur: Next Saturday, July 12th at 12:30 KIT, the book club will be meeting in the Eder Delin of Nezetahn’s Hood.

    (07/05 13:10:59) Augur: We’ve been reading “A Psalm for the Wild-Built” by Becky Chambers, a fun cozy story set in a far away world where a humble tea monk meets a robot from centuries past who is searching for the answer to a seemingly simple question: what do humans need?

    (07/05 13:11:25) Augur: The book is a short one, with the audiobook being only four hours long, so there is still time to read it before our meeting. 🙂

    (07/05 13:11:45) Augur: I hope to see you all there to discuss!

    (07/05 13:12:04) Augur: Any questions?

    (07/05 13:12:17) Claidi Song: \ No questions in the queue.

    (07/05 13:12:17) IwonK: what’s the meaning of life?

    (07/05 13:12:20) Calum Traveler: 42

    (07/05 13:12:25) IwonK: ok 😀

    (07/05 13:12:30) Augur: Haha, might find that one out if you read the book, IWonk. 😉

    (07/05 13:12:32) Claidi Song: Thank you, Augur!

    (07/05 13:12:32) rarified: Beat me to it

    (07/05 13:12:56) Claidi Song: PodHopper, welcome to the stage!

    (07/05 13:13:12) PodHopper: Shorah everyone 🙂

    (07/05 13:13:59) PodHopper: Websites: my websites are now running from a new location: podhopper.nl and hoppertunes.nl

    (07/05 13:14:08) Thumbs up from rarified

    (07/05 13:14:21) Prad: both https now ?

    (07/05 13:14:37) PodHopper: you will be redirected should you still use the old address

    (07/05 13:14:44) PodHopper: yes https now 🙂

    (07/05 13:14:52) Thumbs up from Prad

    (07/05 13:15:09) PodHopper: — SummerFest —

    (07/05 13:15:11) Prad: (less trouble with modern browsers then)

    (07/05 13:15:25) PodHopper: For this year’s Moula SummerFest I would like to showcase some of the activities in the cavern like events but also some of the work involved in how new ages make it into moula.

    (07/05 13:15:41) PodHopper: I have contacted a few people and asked them if they would like to contribute a video about the work they are doing for Moula, like age building and age testing.

    (07/05 13:16:00) Claidi Song: \thumpsup

    (07/05 13:16:03) PodHopper: For example, I have contacted Calum for a video about building ages. If anyone else would like to contribute a short video about age building too, please let me know.

    (07/05 13:16:20) Calum Traveler: mind you, my schedule is a bit busy these days,

    (07/05 13:16:29) Calum Traveler: but i might make a dedicated stream for it you can use.

    (07/05 13:17:02) Calum Traveler: or, cut a section from a stream

    (07/05 13:17:03) Calum Traveler: idk

    (07/05 13:17:12) Calum Traveler: we’ll see.

    (07/05 13:17:20) Calum Traveler: i make no promises.

    (07/05 13:17:23) PodHopper: it would be great, Ibut we’ll see 🙂

    (07/05 13:17:32) PodHopper: My personal life is making it difficult for me to stay on top of everything this year and I have not asked a lot of people yet.

    (07/05 13:17:47) Dreamer3: sit

    (07/05 13:17:47) PodHopper: Therefor I would like to extend the invitation to anyone involved in creating content for Moula.

    (07/05 13:18:00) PodHopper: If you can offer anything that we can show or present during Summer Festival, please contact me.

    (07/05 13:18:15) PodHopper: I know we are all busy with RL or something else, and so am I. So, I do understand.

    (07/05 13:18:41) PodHopper: The resulting videos will be presented using a twitch stream during the Summer Festival which will be held from August 4-10.

    (07/05 13:18:54) PodHopper: I will set up a twitch account for the occasion, so if you don’t use twitch yourself, that should be no problem.

    (07/05 13:19:08) PodHopper: In the coming weeks I will post more info on discord.

    (07/05 13:19:54) PodHopper: And I would love to do another ConeRace, but we’ll see..

    (07/05 13:20:00) IwonK: oh? :>

    (07/05 13:20:11) PodHopper: Any questions?

    (07/05 13:20:20) Claidi Song: Q from Dreamer: Do you have to learn D’ni calligraphy to write ages?

    (07/05 13:20:38) ScottMiller: another Eddie race would be nice too!

    (07/05 13:20:48) PodHopper: not that I’m aware of, but then, I do not write Ages 🙂

    (07/05 13:20:59) Claidi Song: You have to learn Blender or something else compatible

    (07/05 13:21:07) rarified: D’ni calligraphy takes a lot of forms.

    (07/05 13:21:10) Calum Traveler: blender+korman or 3ds max

    (07/05 13:21:12) Theo: And Python can’t hurt.

    (07/05 13:21:16) Calum Traveler: for the OOC side of things

    (07/05 13:21:16) IwonK: I can write an age 😀 look! AGE 🙂 done 🙂

    (07/05 13:21:24) PodHopper: Oh yes The korman and blender synergy

    (07/05 13:21:27) Calum Traveler: ICly: *winks* That information is classified to the public.

    (07/05 13:21:28) rarified groanss

    (07/05 13:21:34) Prad: MOULa choir might probably not be ready yet for a small concert – we’re far behind our recording schedule – but I won’t make shortened decisions, will have to consult with Babbeltje on that …

    (07/05 13:21:42) caver1: Could more information pe placed on the imagers at the guild of messengers hood?

    (07/05 13:22:01) Kayara: There is a fan-game where you can use some D#Ni words to write very simple Ages but I don’t remember the name right now.

    (07/05 13:22:15) Prad: *not be ready yet fro a small concert during the summer festival* …

    (07/05 13:22:33) PodHopper: info about the summerfest is changing from day to day, and the imagers in that hood are not convenient to show the info actually

    (07/05 13:22:53) Claidi Song: Sounds like Summerfest will be fun!

    (07/05 13:22:56) caver1: Darn.

    (07/05 13:23:11) Dreamer3: Woot woot!

    (07/05 13:23:14) Claidi Song: Thank you, PodHopper!

    (07/05 13:23:16) PodHopper: on discord I can post schedules with much more ease and detail than on an imager

    (07/05 13:23:24) PodHopper bows

    (07/05 13:23:55) caver1: I Don’t use discoed.

    (07/05 13:24:16) Claidi Song: ~~~ Expeditions – Korov’ev ~~~

    (07/05 13:24:32) Claidi Song: Korov’ev Welcome to the platform

    (07/05 13:24:38) PodHopper: it will also be posted in final form on facebook and guild of messen gers website caver

    (07/05 13:24:52) Korov’ev: this time I should 🙂

    (07/05 13:25:04) Korov’ev waves hello

    (07/05 13:25:04) Korov’ev: Shorah everyone 🙂

    (07/05 13:25:04) caver1: Website is good.

    (07/05 13:25:13) Korov’ev: Last Sunday, the 3rd cycle of the Fan Age Expeditions, held on the Deep Island shard, has concluded.

    (07/05 13:25:21) Korov’ev: For the 4th cycle, to try something different, I’ll be alternating weeks between Deep Island and The Open Cave.

    (07/05 13:25:32) Korov’ev: Participant will get an invite to a dedicated avatar’s instances, and will be free to revisit them later.

    (07/05 13:25:38) shokhootahn Rehn waves back

    (07/05 13:25:40) Korov’ev: Old-timers may remember the ‘Public Avatar’, that’s the inspiration 😉

    (07/05 13:25:54) Korov’ev: In an acute display of imagination, I named the Hood “Fan Ages Touring Club”.

    (07/05 13:26:00) Korov’ev: On second thoughts, I could’ve dropped the “Fan”… But then it would no longer be the FAT-C 🙂

    (07/05 13:26:02) Trouble kneels down…

    (07/05 13:26:14) Trouble waves hello

    (07/05 13:26:19) Korov’ev: On DI, we’ll focus on the fan ages of old as before; on TOC we’ll go through Cyan’s ages first, and the latest fan ages not on DI later.

    (07/05 13:26:21) Trouble kneels down…

    (07/05 13:26:29) Korov’ev: For the Cyan ages, I’ll leave the detailed explanation of the backstory to the Cavern Tours, since I’m not trying to duplicate them!

    (07/05 13:26:42) Korov’ev: Keep in mind that we *will* get into spoilers.

    (07/05 13:26:53) Korov’ev: The focus will be trying to see these ages from perspectives a lone explorer usually can’t get (e.g. see the Teledahn hut being drained).

    (07/05 13:27:09) Korov’ev: Since it will be the first expedition on the Open Cave, tomorrow will mostly be an… exploratory expedition 🙂

    (07/05 13:27:21) Korov’ev: If enough people will show up, a Door Run will be in order, maybe a Wall game too. The hood will certainly be open for affiliations.

    (07/05 13:27:46) Korov’ev: I have a more detailed outline of the Expeditions on the GoW forum (I haven’t got around updating the info with TOC yet): https://forum.guildofwriters.org/viewtopic.php?f=111&t=7140

    (07/05 13:27:53) Korov’ev: Instructions for setting up a TOC client can be found here: https://www.the-open-cave.net/moul/how-to-play

    (07/05 13:28:04) Korov’ev: There is of course also a TOC Discord server, where you can find help setting up a client: https://discord.gg/u9jc22UFaN

    (07/05 13:28:13) Korov’ev: That’s all I have for now! Any questions?

    (07/05 13:28:24) Claidi Song: No questions in the queue

    (07/05 13:28:36) *Jodok*: Do it today because it will take some time to activate new members 😀

    (07/05 13:34:00) Calum Traveler: on some Cavern related news…

    (07/05 13:34:32) Calum Traveler: I’m pleased to announce that sometime in the nearish future we will be hosting a Sameehn Book in Chiso Preniv,

    (07/05 13:35:55) Calum Traveler: also, I’m personally looking into the possibility of updating the Gahreesen Wall’s announcer lines, to replace some of the more… slightly harshish sounding ones with some nicer ones.

    (07/05 13:36:03) Calum Traveler: i know there have been some complaints about that over the years

    (07/05 13:36:23) Calum Traveler: i cant make a promise as to when or who will be doing the new lines, as im just in the ‘can i even update this on my own?’ stage of mucking about.

    (07/05 13:37:00) PodHopper: you have to climb around the blockers you know?

    (07/05 13:37:08) Calum Traveler: yeah, thats one of them,

    (07/05 13:37:43) Calum Traveler: anyways, it’s finally being looked into getting some nicer lines in there.

    (07/05 13:37:47) Calum Traveler: just wanted to let yall know.

    (07/05 13:37:56) Calum Traveler: no timeline or ETA.

    (07/05 13:38:10) Buddy: They spurred me on to greater heights!

    (07/05 13:38:24) Calum Traveler: ^^;

    (07/05 13:38:32) Prad: “Will you please avoid the blockers? Thank you.” …

    (07/05 13:38:51) IwonK: “you have to go AROUND the blockers, you know?”

    (07/05 13:38:52) Calum Traveler: uh… i think there was something about some work being done in Sameehn for one of the doors that wasnt working right but i havent looked too deeply into that yet, personally.

    (07/05 13:38:58) rarified: “Blockers stub toes. Be forewarned.”

    (07/05 13:39:08) Calum Traveler: other than that, i got… nothing else.

    (07/05 13:39:10) Calum Traveler: any questions?

    (07/05 13:39:16) *Jodok*: What happened to Doobes and why his ages are all suspended?

    (07/05 13:39:23) Claidi Song: \ No questions in the queue.

    (07/05 13:39:37) Calum Traveler: right, i suppose it was only a matter of time before someone asked that here.

    (07/05 13:39:53) Calum Traveler: i cant exactly go into firm details, as i dont know them all personally,

    (07/05 13:39:57) *Jodok*: Ok spit out the infos

    (07/05 13:40:05) ural: sameehn book shareable?

    (07/05 13:40:15) Calum Traveler: what i can say is that real life matters have taken Doobes out of the Cavern Equation for the foreseeable future.

    (07/05 13:40:47) Calum Traveler: and with him gone, a lot of things have fallen on the rest of us that have made already tight schedules tighter.

    (07/05 13:41:06) Buddy: We’ll soon be testing the Sameehn books sharability.

    (07/05 13:41:14) Dreamer3 is very annoyed with RL

    (07/05 13:41:21) Calum Traveler: personally, I do not believe he will be returning.

    (07/05 13:41:30) shokhootahn Rehn: 🙁

    (07/05 13:41:36) ural: :L(

    (07/05 13:41:37) Calum Traveler: as you may or may not know, he lost both of his parents in the last year, and in his grief, i could see he was pulling away from us.

    (07/05 13:41:38) Thumbs up from caver1

    (07/05 13:41:39) *Jodok*: -(

    (07/05 13:41:47) Calum Traveler: that was even before he went radio silent.

    (07/05 13:41:49) Claidi Song: I can ganentee he won’t be coming back.

    (07/05 13:42:00) Calum Traveler nods, solemnly

    (07/05 13:42:01) <sniffle> Dreamer3 is sad

    (07/05 13:42:16) Calum Traveler: all i can say, and all that im willing to say on the matter,

    (07/05 13:42:21) caver1: On book sharing.

    (07/05 13:42:23) PodHopper: that means a great loss and setback indeed

    (07/05 13:42:28) shokhootahn Rehn: 🙁

    (07/05 13:42:31) Calum Traveler: is that where ever he goes in life, im hoping he gets the help he needs.

    (07/05 13:42:36) <sniffle> *Jodok* is sad

    (07/05 13:42:36) rarified: I think it is a personal matter that has to be accepted

    (07/05 13:42:56) Calum Traveler: Doobes’ situation is a very complicated one not fit for further discussion in this venue,

    (07/05 13:43:00) Buddy: True

    (07/05 13:43:08) Calum Traveler: as for Sameehn, the Chsio book should be sharable, yes,

    (07/05 13:43:10) ScottMiller: Wasn’t he working on DEsent? Who is taking that over?

    (07/05 13:43:15) Claidi Song: I agree here and now is not the place.

    (07/05 13:43:19) rarified: All in good time

    (07/05 13:43:28) IwonK: RL needs a DLC…

    (07/05 13:43:38) Calum Traveler: Semjay, i believe, is looking into the issues in the Emporium as her free time allows.

    (07/05 13:43:52) Claidi Song: Cool!

    (07/05 13:43:54) Calum Traveler: ScottMiller, Descent is, at the moment, in a state of ‘needs to be resurveyed’,

    (07/05 13:44:20) Calum Traveler: we do not have access to the latest work and so it is a significant setback.

    (07/05 13:44:34) shokhootahn Rehn: 🙁

    (07/05 13:44:44) Calum Traveler: im hoping to aleviate the matter of *one person* handling the project once that survey work is done by ensuring multiple folks are able to work on it at the same time.

    (07/05 13:44:53) Calum Traveler: Descent is simply too big for one person,

    (07/05 13:45:31) Prad: the ‘single point of failure’ problem

    (07/05 13:45:34) Calum Traveler: yes,

    (07/05 13:45:41) Calum Traveler: Doobes was that for a lot of things.

    (07/05 13:45:53) Calum Traveler: that’s all im going to say on the matter for now

    (07/05 13:45:57) Calum Traveler: any other questions?

    (07/05 13:45:58) ural: pod 12?

    (07/05 13:46:07) *Jodok*: Sad really sad news, sorry for asking but my curiosity was big

    (07/05 13:46:16) *Jodok*: Too big

    (07/05 13:46:17) Calum Traveler: Pod12 is still on schedule for sometime this year.

    (07/05 13:46:28) ural: good!

    (07/05 13:46:40) Calum Traveler: i cant give timelines, as Chiso has taken up a large chunk of my attention in recent months.

    (07/05 13:46:56) ScottMiller: Sorry for my ignorqnce but whqat is Pod12?

    (07/05 13:47:07) Calum Traveler: Pod12 is an area I’m restoring, ScottMiller

    (07/05 13:47:09) rarified: Unannounced yet.

    (07/05 13:47:16) Calum Traveler: one more question.

    (07/05 13:47:19) ScottMiller: Ah…

    (07/05 13:47:21) Prad: Pod 12 is a fan based Pod age Calum is working on

    (07/05 13:47:35) ural: east coast ofpayfern

    (07/05 13:47:37) Calum Traveler: any last question?

    (07/05 13:47:50) Calum Traveler: going once…

    (07/05 13:47:54) Calum Traveler: going…. twiiiice….

    (07/05 13:47:59) caver1: Many thanks to age builders.

    (07/05 13:48:00) Calum Traveler: no?

    (07/05 13:48:02) Calum Traveler: okay

    (07/05 13:48:03) Calum Traveler bows

    (07/05 13:48:05) Claidi Song: Thank you, Cal!

    (07/05 13:48:09) ScottMiller: Will it be avalilbe in the Cavern or only DSI?

    (07/05 13:48:18) Calum Traveler: pod 12 will be available through chiso,

    (07/05 13:48:25) Claidi Song: ~~~ ratified news ~~~

    (07/05 13:48:27) ural: yay!

    (07/05 13:48:31) ScottMiller: Thumbs up!

    (07/05 13:48:49) rarified: Shorah all!

    (07/05 13:48:53) Claidi Song: ~~~ ratified news ~~~

    (07/05 13:49:00) Buddy: Shorah!

    (07/05 13:49:12) rarified looks sadly at an unprotected vulnerable Eddie

    (07/05 13:49:35) rarified: I’ve got a couple of things today. Please pardon my speed as I’m

    (07/05 13:49:49) rarified: typing/composing in real time rather than pasting.

    (07/05 13:49:53) Dreamer3: Eddie beat up all the surrounding cones.

    (07/05 13:50:28) rarified: First, I would like to mention the OpenUru organization is 15 years old this year.

    (07/05 13:50:38) Calum Traveler: old enough to drive

    (07/05 13:50:50) Kayara: In some countries at least 😀

    (07/05 13:50:53) Kayara: Woot woot!

    (07/05 13:51:05) rarified: OU was a significant player in the release of MOUL code to the fans, and

    (07/05 13:51:12) ScottMiller: With a learner permit and a licensed diver

    (07/05 13:51:13) rarified: we’ve all benefited from it.

    (07/05 13:51:35) ScottMiller: Deiver

    (07/05 13:51:37) rarified: I’d like to test the waters to find out if there are some younger but at least

    (07/05 13:51:45) Kayara: Old enough to drink beer in public under supervision of a guardian, in others. 😀

    (07/05 13:51:52) ScottMiller: driver

    (07/05 13:51:57) rarified: a little experienced developers that would be interested in helping with

    (07/05 13:52:11) rarified: administration of some of the OU web properties.

    (07/05 13:52:36) rarified: It would require some knowledge of the LAMP (Linux-Apache-Mysql-PHP)

    (07/05 13:52:53) rarified: stack, as well as forum and wiki upkeep.

    (07/05 13:53:15) rarified: The OU founders are … how do I say it … getting beyond the “experienced”

    (07/05 13:53:22) Prad getting all ears on Linux

    (07/05 13:53:37) rarified: stage in their lives and could use some younger help to carry on th

    (07/05 13:53:41) rarified: OU presence.

    (07/05 13:53:44) Calum Traveler: (nevermind the increased pressures of real life.)

    (07/05 13:54:04) rarified: If you are, or know of someone who has both the background and interest

    (07/05 13:54:29) rarified: in helping in this are, please let me know. PM me on the OU Discord server.

    (07/05 13:55:05) rarified: Ok, on to my status. Obviously I work mostly behind the curtains in the

    (07/05 13:55:28) rarified: fan pipeline to get new content and fixes into MOULa. Doing that, I don’t

    (07/05 13:55:50) rarified: have much to announce very often. But I also sometimes leave long

    (07/05 13:56:08) rarified: intervals when I haven’t said anything about what is going on.

    (07/05 13:56:29) rarified: During the last two Mysteria I’ve made allusions to working on a

    (07/05 13:56:52) rarified: major MOULa client enhancement that will roll into it the 10+ years

    (07/05 13:57:18) rarified: of development by the Guild of Writers/H’uru team. I want to reafferm

    (07/05 13:57:44) rarified: -reaffirm- that the development of that unified client IS underway.

    (07/05 13:57:59) Calum Traveler: I’ve been helping with this project in the background, as I can. But ill admit a lot of it is beyond me.

    (07/05 13:58:11) rarified: We’ve gotten to the stage were we are starting to test the updated client

    (07/05 13:58:35) rarified: on a private testing server, mostly to iron out any issues using the new

    (07/05 13:58:41) Calum Traveler: there’s been a few kinks to get hashed out before we’re ready to open it to mass testing.

    (07/05 13:58:57) rarified: client with servers that behave as the legacy Cyan MOULa servers.

    (07/05 13:59:16) rarified: But rest assured, progress — as slow as it is — is being made.

    (07/05 13:59:23) Calum Traveler: SOON (TM)

    (07/05 13:59:30) rarified: So to speak 🙂

    (07/05 13:59:40) Calum Traveler: assuming real life gives us enough breathing room.

    (07/05 13:59:47) Calum Traveler leans right

    (07/05 14:00:00) rarified: Once that client has progressed far enough, it will be on a server with more

    (07/05 14:00:19) Prad: ah okay – so H’Uru client is already being tested – but in the background on private testing servers as stage 1 before going to mass testing …

    (07/05 14:00:21) rarified: available access, part of the OU Minkata testing constellation of serverss.

    (07/05 14:00:28) Buddy: What will be its benefit to devs?

    (07/05 14:00:40) Calum Traveler: minimized divergences between physics systems, for starters.

    (07/05 14:00:52) rarified: Too long a list to do today other than what CT said ^^

    (07/05 14:00:54) Calum Traveler: or, for those of you who paid attention to my Chiso work may have noticed,

    (07/05 14:01:08) Calum Traveler: some bizzare lighting differences between what I saw on HURU versus the OU client.

    (07/05 14:01:23) *Jodok*: Is it based on dirtsand?

    (07/05 14:01:31) Calum Traveler: the client itself?

    (07/05 14:01:32) rarified: WHEN we have a working unified client in the works, we’ll be able to take advantage

    (07/05 14:01:44) rarified: of H’uru developments in almost real time from that point on.

    (07/05 14:02:10) *Jodok*: I ask because filtik is trying to do a test server for TOC with dirtsand maybe you could work together?

    (07/05 14:02:17) rarified: There will be content changes required, so the path to MOULa will by necessity be cautious.

    (07/05 14:02:37) Prad: Final server might be the cyan server and not dirtsand server afaik

    (07/05 14:02:45) Calum Traveler: final server will be the cyan server, yes,

    (07/05 14:02:55) Calum Traveler: as the goal is to get the unified client onto MOULa and have it compatible.

    (07/05 14:03:10) rarified: ~~~ teaser ~~~ Once the client has momentum, I still have a todo list that I think

    (07/05 14:03:26) Calum Traveler: as you know, MOULa runs on its own unique server code… that is NOT so picky about what code it drinks down.

    (07/05 14:03:33) Calum Traveler: even if that code causes it to Net2 everyone.

    (07/05 14:03:37) rarified: fans will enjoy. A major update to MOSS is on the drawing board, and something yet to be

    (07/05 14:03:55) Emor D’ni Lap: multithreading

    (07/05 14:04:08) rarified: even imagined except in my creaky old brain may have a debut in the *NEXT* Mysterium.

    (07/05 14:04:24) rarified stops teasing now

    (07/05 14:04:36) IwonK passes around teasing cookies

    (07/05 14:04:46) Calum Traveler: id like to thank folks for their patience on this matter, as i know the client upgrade is… contentious at times.

    (07/05 14:04:50) *Jodok* is teased

    (07/05 14:04:56) rarified: Ok finally… I’m going to do something that usually is not appropriate, but this morning

    (07/05 14:04:57) Buddy: More teasing please

    (07/05 14:05:14) rarified: I was so compelled that I will do it an you have to forgive me.

    (07/05 14:05:16) Buddy: Cookies too

    (07/05 14:05:25) Emor D’ni Lap: rarified moons the audience

    (07/05 14:05:26) philipgr: MOSS cookies

    (07/05 14:05:45) rarified: At the start of this year, our development group suffered a significant loss that left a

    (07/05 14:05:47) Korov’ev: Uru Live Classic, with only the ABM ages and the original physics engine

    (07/05 14:06:09) rarified: major hole in the pipeline. Both in process and development.

    (07/05 14:06:30) Buddy: Doobes

    (07/05 14:06:36) rarified: There is one individual that stands out as having taken on — without either request

    (07/05 14:07:10) Buddy: Calum/Kelsei

    (07/05 14:07:22) rarified: or responsibility — the task of filling in that hole. This person has provided leadership

    (07/05 14:07:44) Calum Traveler looks to rarified, not expecting any of this part…

    (07/05 14:07:53) Kayara: Buddy ssshhh

    (07/05 14:08:03) rarified: by encouragement and empathy, and I want to recognize thier extraordinary contribution.

    (07/05 14:08:07) Buddy: (sorry)

    (07/05 14:08:18) Prad: (that was a complicated puzzle)

    (07/05 14:08:24) Buddy: lol

    (07/05 14:08:26) rarified: Please take a bow, dear friend and co conspirator, Calum Traveler!

    (07/05 14:08:30) Calum Traveler bows

    (07/05 14:08:34) Claidi Song: clap

    (07/05 14:08:41) Calum Traveler: i wasnt expecting praise for anything, man…

    (07/05 14:08:42) neurovac: well deserved!

    (07/05 14:08:50) Calum Traveler scratches the back of neck, embarassed.

    (07/05 14:08:57) *Jodok*: BRAVO!!!

    (07/05 14:09:07) IwonK salutes

    (07/05 14:09:13) rarified: You’ve gone beyond anything we have a right to expect or want.

    (07/05 14:09:31) Calum Traveler: it’s just what’s needed, y’know?

    (07/05 14:09:33) rarified: Not to diminish the extraordinary contributions by all the developers

    (07/05 14:09:34) neurovac: Calum, you are visibly working very hard, and you deserve praise for that.

    (07/05 14:09:40) Emor D’ni Lap: very nice of you, rarified

    (07/05 14:09:50) rarified: and artists, they all deserve our thank.

    (07/05 14:09:57) rarified: ^thanks!

    (07/05 14:09:58) Calum Traveler: ive mostly just taken on work that needs doing, and other folks havent had the time to do.

    (07/05 14:10:00) Prad: courage to stand up is worthy mentioning – it has become rare these days in societies …

    (07/05 14:10:52) rarified: Thank you for your support!

    (07/05 14:11:14) Calum Traveler looks a little stunned from that last part…

    (07/05 14:11:25) rarified: Stunning is GOOD

    (07/05 14:11:44) Calum Traveler: make sure to take care of yourselves, folks. that’s all i can say.

    (07/05 14:11:45) Emor D’ni Lap: a pat on theback is the best that volunteer developers get…

    (07/05 13:11:25) Augur: The book is a short one, with the audiobook being only four hours long, so there is still time to read it before our meeting. 🙂

    (07/05 13:16:03) PodHopper: For example, I have contacted Calum for a video about building ages. If anyone else would like to contribute a short video about age building too, please let me know.

    (07/05 13:16:29) Calum Traveler: but i might make a dedicated stream for it you can use.

    (07/05 13:18:54) PodHopper: I will set up a twitch account for the occasion, so if you don't use twitch yourself, that should be no problem.

    (07/05 13:22:33) PodHopper: info about the summerfest is changing from day to day, and the imagers in that hood are not convenient to show the info actually

    (07/05 13:26:00) Korov'ev: On second thoughts, I could've dropped the "Fan"… But then it would no longer be the FAT-C 🙂
    (07/05 13:26:02) Trouble kneels down…
    (07/05 13:26:14) Trouble waves hello
    (07/05 13:26:19) Korov'ev: On DI, we'll focus on the fan ages of old as before; on TOC we'll go through Cyan's ages first, and the latest fan ages not on DI later.
    (07/05 13:26:21) Trouble kneels down…
    (07/05 13:26:29) Korov'ev: For the Cyan ages, I'll leave the detailed explanation of the backstory to the Cavern Tours, since I'm not trying to duplicate them!
    (07/05 13:26:42) Korov'ev: Keep in mind that we *will* get into spoilers.
    (07/05 13:26:53) Korov'ev: The focus will be trying to see these ages from perspectives a lone explorer usually can't get (e.g. see the Teledahn hut being drained).
    (07/05 13:27:09) Korov'ev: Since it will be the first expedition on the Open Cave, tomorrow will mostly be an… exploratory expedition 🙂
    (07/05 13:27:21) Korov'ev: If enough people will show up, a Door Run will be in order, maybe a Wall game too. The hood will certainly be open for affiliations.
    (07/05 13:27:46) Korov'ev: I have a more detailed outline of the Expeditions on the GoW forum (I haven't got around updating the info with TOC yet): https://forum.guildofwriters.org/viewtopic.php?f=111&t=7140
    (07/05 13:27:53) Korov'ev: Instructions for setting up a TOC client can be found here: https://www.the-open-cave.net/moul/how-to-play
    (07/05 13:28:04) Korov'ev: There is of course also a TOC Discord server, where you can find help setting up a client: https://discord.gg/u9jc22UFaN
    (07/05 13:28:13) Korov'ev: That's all I have for now! Any questions?

    (07/05 13:30:58) Calum Traveler: uh, im still working on getting that east wing set up, so, it's slow going there.

    (07/05 13:33:44) Calum Traveler: May's creativity Prompt Winner is: "Gehn Meets Chicken" by redwoodrroad
    (07/05 13:34:00) Calum Traveler: on some Cavern related news…
    (07/05 13:34:32) Calum Traveler: I'm pleased to announce that sometime in the nearish future we will be hosting a Sameehn Book in Chiso Preniv,
    (07/05 13:35:55) Calum Traveler: also, I'm personally looking into the possibility of updating the Gahreesen Wall's announcer lines, to replace some of the more… slightly harshish sounding ones with some nicer ones.
    (07/05 13:36:03) Calum Traveler: i know there have been some complaints about that over the years
    (07/05 13:36:23) Calum Traveler: i cant make a promise as to when or who will be doing the new lines, as im just in the 'can i even update this on my own?' stage of mucking about.
    (07/05 13:37:00) PodHopper: you have to climb around the blockers you know?
    (07/05 13:37:08) Calum Traveler: yeah, thats one of them,
    (07/05 13:37:43) Calum Traveler: anyways, it's finally being looked into getting some nicer lines in there.
    (07/05 13:37:47) Calum Traveler: just wanted to let yall know.
    (07/05 13:37:56) Calum Traveler: no timeline or ETA.
    (07/05 13:38:10) Buddy: They spurred me on to greater heights!
    (07/05 13:38:24) Calum Traveler: ^^;
    (07/05 13:38:32) Prad: "Will you please avoid the blockers? Thank you." …
    (07/05 13:38:51) IwonK: "you have to go AROUND the blockers, you know?"
    (07/05 13:38:52) Calum Traveler: uh… i think there was something about some work being done in Sameehn for one of the doors that wasnt working right but i havent looked too deeply into that yet, personally.
    (07/05 13:38:58) rarified: "Blockers stub toes. Be forewarned."
    (07/05 13:39:08) Calum Traveler: other than that, i got… nothing else.
    (07/05 13:39:10) Calum Traveler: any questions?
    (07/05 13:39:16) *Jodok*: What happened to Doobes and why his ages are all suspended?
    (07/05 13:39:23) Claidi Song: \ No questions in the queue.
    (07/05 13:39:25) Calum Traveler: …
    (07/05 13:39:36) *Jodok*: Somebody knows something?
    (07/05 13:39:37) Calum Traveler: right, i suppose it was only a matter of time before someone asked that here.
    (07/05 13:39:53) Calum Traveler: i cant exactly go into firm details, as i dont know them all personally,
    (07/05 13:39:57) *Jodok*: Ok spit out the infos
    (07/05 13:40:05) ural: sameehn book shareable?
    (07/05 13:40:15) Calum Traveler: what i can say is that real life matters have taken Doobes out of the Cavern Equation for the foreseeable future.
    (07/05 13:40:47) Calum Traveler: and with him gone, a lot of things have fallen on the rest of us that have made already tight schedules tighter.
    (07/05 13:41:06) Buddy: We'll soon be testing the Sameehn books sharability.
    (07/05 13:41:14) Dreamer3 is very annoyed with RL
    (07/05 13:41:21) Calum Traveler: personally, I do not believe he will be returning.
    (07/05 13:41:30) shokhootahn Rehn: 🙁
    (07/05 13:41:36) ural: :L(
    (07/05 13:41:37) Calum Traveler: as you may or may not know, he lost both of his parents in the last year, and in his grief, i could see he was pulling away from us.
    (07/05 13:41:38) Thumbs up from caver1
    (07/05 13:41:39) *Jodok*: -(
    (07/05 13:41:47) Calum Traveler: that was even before he went radio silent.
    (07/05 13:41:49) Claidi Song: I can ganentee he won't be coming back.
    (07/05 13:42:00) Calum Traveler nods, solemnly
    (07/05 13:42:01) Dreamer3 is sad
    (07/05 13:42:16) Calum Traveler: all i can say, and all that im willing to say on the matter,
    (07/05 13:42:21) caver1: On book sharing.
    (07/05 13:42:23) PodHopper: that means a great loss and setback indeed
    (07/05 13:42:28) shokhootahn Rehn: 🙁
    (07/05 13:42:31) Calum Traveler: is that where ever he goes in life, im hoping he gets the help he needs.
    (07/05 13:42:36) *Jodok* is sad
    (07/05 13:42:36) rarified: I think it is a personal matter that has to be accepted
    (07/05 13:42:56) Calum Traveler: Doobes' situation is a very complicated one not fit for further discussion in this venue,
    (07/05 13:43:00) Buddy: True
    (07/05 13:43:08) Calum Traveler: as for Sameehn, the Chsio book should be sharable, yes,
    (07/05 13:43:10) ScottMiller: Wasn't he working on DEsent? Who is taking that over?
    (07/05 13:43:15) Claidi Song: I agree here and now is not the place.
    (07/05 13:43:19) rarified: All in good time
    (07/05 13:43:28) IwonK: RL needs a DLC…
    (07/05 13:43:38) Calum Traveler: Semjay, i believe, is looking into the issues in the Emporium as her free time allows.
    (07/05 13:43:52) Claidi Song: Cool!
    (07/05 13:43:54) Calum Traveler: ScottMiller, Descent is, at the moment, in a state of 'needs to be resurveyed',
    (07/05 13:44:20) Calum Traveler: we do not have access to the latest work and so it is a significant setback.
    (07/05 13:44:34) shokhootahn Rehn: 🙁
    (07/05 13:44:44) Calum Traveler: im hoping to aleviate the matter of *one person* handling the project once that survey work is done by ensuring multiple folks are able to work on it at the same time.
    (07/05 13:44:53) Calum Traveler: Descent is simply too big for one person,
    (07/05 13:45:31) Prad: the 'single point of failure' problem
    (07/05 13:45:34) Calum Traveler: yes,
    (07/05 13:45:41) Calum Traveler: Doobes was that for a lot of things.
    (07/05 13:45:53) Calum Traveler: that's all im going to say on the matter for now
    (07/05 13:45:57) Calum Traveler: any other questions?
    (07/05 13:45:58) ural: pod 12?
    (07/05 13:46:07) *Jodok*: Sad really sad news, sorry for asking but my curiosity was big
    (07/05 13:46:16) *Jodok*: Too big
    (07/05 13:46:17) Calum Traveler: Pod12 is still on schedule for sometime this year.
    (07/05 13:46:28) ural: good!
    (07/05 13:46:40) Calum Traveler: i cant give timelines, as Chiso has taken up a large chunk of my attention in recent months.
    (07/05 13:46:56) ScottMiller: Sorry for my ignorqnce but whqat is Pod12?
    (07/05 13:47:07) Calum Traveler: Pod12 is an area I'm restoring, ScottMiller
    (07/05 13:47:09) rarified: Unannounced yet.

    (07/05 13:59:16) rarified: But rest assured, progress — as slow as it is — is being made.

    (07/05 14:00:19) Prad: ah okay – so H'Uru client is already being tested – but in the background on private testing servers as stage 1 before going to mass testing …
    (07/05 14:00:21) rarified: available access, part of the OU Minkata testing constellation of serverss.
    (07/05 14:00:28) Buddy: What will be its benefit to devs?
    (07/05 14:00:40) Calum Traveler: minimized divergences between physics systems, for starters.
    (07/05 14:00:52) rarified: Too long a list to do today other than what CT said ^^
    (07/05 14:00:54) Calum Traveler: or, for those of you who paid attention to my Chiso work may have noticed,
    (07/05 14:01:08) Calum Traveler: some bizzare lighting differences between what I saw on HURU versus the OU client.
    (07/05 14:01:23) *Jodok*: Is it based on dirtsand?
    (07/05 14:01:31) Calum Traveler: the client itself?
    (07/05 14:01:32) rarified: WHEN we have a working unified client in the works, we'll be able to take advantage
    (07/05 14:01:44) rarified: of H'uru developments in almost real time from that point on.
    (07/05 14:02:10) *Jodok*: I ask because filtik is trying to do a test server for TOC with dirtsand maybe you could work together?
    (07/05 14:02:17) rarified: There will be content changes required, so the path to MOULa will by necessity be cautious.
    (07/05 14:02:37) Prad: Final server might be the cyan server and not dirtsand server afaik
    (07/05 14:02:45) Calum Traveler: final server will be the cyan server, yes,
    (07/05 14:02:55) Calum Traveler: as the goal is to get the unified client onto MOULa and have it compatible.
    (07/05 14:03:10) rarified: ~~~ teaser ~~~ Once the client has momentum, I still have a todo list that I think
    (07/05 14:03:26) Calum Traveler: as you know, MOULa runs on its own unique server code… that is NOT so picky about what code it drinks down.
    (07/05 14:03:33) Calum Traveler: even if that code causes it to Net2 everyone.
    (07/05 14:03:37) rarified: fans will enjoy. A major update to MOSS is on the drawing board, and something yet to be
    (07/05 14:03:55) Emor D'ni Lap: multithreading
    (07/05 14:04:08) rarified: even imagined except in my creaky old brain may have a debut in the *NEXT* Mysterium.
    (07/05 14:04:24) rarified stops teasing now
    (07/05 14:04:36) IwonK passes around teasing cookies
    (07/05 14:04:46) Calum Traveler: id like to thank folks for their patience on this matter, as i know the client upgrade is… contentious at times.
    (07/05 14:04:50) *Jodok* is teased
    (07/05 14:04:56) rarified: Ok finally… I'm going to do something that usually is not appropriate, but this morning
    (07/05 14:04:57) Buddy: More teasing please
    (07/05 14:05:14) rarified: I was so compelled that I will do it an you have to forgive me.
    (07/05 14:05:16) Buddy: Cookies too
    (07/05 14:05:25) Emor D'ni Lap: rarified moons the audience
    (07/05 14:05:26) philipgr: MOSS cookies
    (07/05 14:05:45) rarified: At the start of this year, our development group suffered a significant loss that left a
    (07/05 14:05:47) Korov'ev: Uru Live Classic, with only the ABM ages and the original physics engine
    (07/05 14:06:09) rarified: major hole in the pipeline. Both in process and development.
    (07/05 14:06:30) Buddy: Doobes
    (07/05 14:06:36) rarified: There is one individual that stands out as having taken on — without either request
    (07/05 14:07:10) Buddy: Calum/Kelsei
    (07/05 14:07:22) rarified: or responsibility — the task of filling in that hole. This person has provided leadership
    (07/05 14:07:44) Calum Traveler looks to rarified, not expecting any of this part…
    (07/05 14:07:53) Kayara: Buddy ssshhh
    (07/05 14:08:03) rarified: by encouragement and empathy, and I want to recognize thier extraordinary contribution.
    (07/05 14:08:07) Buddy: (sorry)
    (07/05 14:08:18) Prad: (that was a complicated puzzle)

    5. D’ni Language Classes
    6. R’Tayrtahn’s Story Nights

    OpenUru

    ☛ There are a few known bugs in the latest update: the Nexus is missing the links to the Explorers’ Emporium and to Sameehn; the Kalamee’s and Sameehn’s  book share function in the Emporium are not fuctioning. These will fixed soon.

    ☛ The 2024 Mysterium T-shirts should be added to the Ae’gura Messengers Pub later this year. For this year’s designs, there is no space on the table! Another table will be added, but the new additions may not be ready in time for Mysterium.

    ☛ The East Wing of the Ae’gura Messengers Pub is planned to be opened soon.

    Mysterium

    ☛ The schedule for Mysterium 2025 is live, and includes two excursions: on Friday, breakout rooms at Breakout Games, Atlanta/Buckhead; on Saturday, trip to the Georgia Aquarium.

    ☛ Tickets may be purchased through July 1st. As a reminder, guaranteed hotel dates expire on July 9, while premium registration closes on June 16. Swag, excursions, and early standard registration close on July 1st. Writing & Art Table submissions closes July 15.

    ☛ You can find more info on Mysterium on BluSky, Facebook, Discord, and their website.

    ☛ The Creativity Prompt for June is “Beach“, the deadline is June 30. Entries for the “Chicken” prompt for May were from Kelly, Kefrith, Redwoodrroad, Calum Traveler, and Talashar.

    Events in the Cavern

    ☛ On Monday 2, Skyisblu made a (meat-free) black bean burger, loaded with taco-themed spices, grilled to perfection, and served with a whole lot of tasty toppings.
    The Cooking Sessions are on the first Monday of the month at 12:00 KIT, via Twitch, in the Guild of Caterers’ Hood. You can find past recipes and recordings at Skyisblu’s blog and YouTube channel.

    ☛ After a month hiatus, the Karaoke Parties, hosted by DonahooDJ, are back to their original time slot, 16:00 KIT in the New Guild of Messengers Pub.
    The stream is at http://2.58.194.54:8494/. There is a cap on the number of people who can listen; if that is exceeded, Seeker will provide the alternative stream. To participate, you will need to submit a Karaoke Card.

    IwonK will host a Wonky Talk (on her Twitch channel) on Friday 20 at 15:00 KIT in the Guild of Cookies’ Hood by the heek table. This month’s topic will be “Kids in Games“. Feel free to suggest interesting games she could talk (and draw) about. As always, there will be cookies!
    Besides streaming, IwonK is making some games of her own as a year-long gamedev challenge, using Bitsy; you can find them at her itch.io page.

    ☛ Every Tuesday, Ereshkigal is hosting an Ancient Stories event at 11:30 KIT in Mir-o-Bot’s Eder Gira (PM “link” to Mir-o-Bot #32319 or MinBot #9292763 to get there), reading folktales, translated ancient texts, historical fiction from all over the ancient world, as well as the occasional historical-inspired fan fiction.
    Currently they are telling the story of Theseus, the young Athenian prince who goes to Minoan Crete to fight the sacred bull and free his people from oppression by the Minoans.

    ☛ Augur’s Speculative Fiction Book Club will discuss their current book, A Psalm for the Wild Built by Becky Chambers, in Nezetahn(1)’s Hood’s Eder Delin, on July 12 at 12:30 KIT. Everyone is welcome to discuss their opinions on the book, using either voice or text chat.

    ☛ PodHopper made three announcements: first, he is organizing this year’s Summer Festival, planned for the week of August 4–10. The theme for this year is “Streams of Friendship“. It will showcase all the streams and activities that make the Cavern feel alive. Anyone who would like to contribute an event is invited to contact PodHopper, even if it does not involve using a stream.
    Second, PodHopper has set up a new website from where he will broadcast future streams. He did this because of the policy of the Caster website to track visitors. This is separate from UruTunes, which is a link aggregator and will be updated soon with the new link. A stress-test was held on Monday 9.
    Third, and related, in about a month he will move the rest of his website to this server, allowing to shorten the domain name a bit, and more importantly enable https for it.

    ☞ For a more complete list of upcoming events, check our calendar. Times and events may change at the last minute; you can find the latest updates at:

    Events in the Shards

    Prad hosting Ayoheek Nights on The Open Cave, every Monday at 14:00 KIT, in the Ayohikers’ Hood. His gamemaster avatar is Ayohiker.
    When he started this event, he added a rule: “make sure that everyone has the chance to choose the first symbol in a round – with more than two players we hop the round entry clockwise”, to even the playground.
    Recently he decided to let go of that rule, to accelerate the gameflow (and because most players have enough practice, by now).

    ☛ Claidi relayed a message from Korov’ev about his Fan Age Expeditions, held every Sunday at 11:00 KIT. The third cycle is ending soon, likely by the end of this month.
    For the fourth cycle, he will experiment with splitting them between Deep Island and The Open Cave (MOUL): one Sunday we’ll visit a fan Age on Deep Island, the other a Cyan/fan Age on The Open Cave.
    On TOS, participant will get an invite to a dedicated avatar‘s instances, and will be free to revisit them later; old-timers may remember the ‘Public Avatar’, as a similar use of an avatar.
    For Cyan Ages, the focus will be trying to see them from perspectives a single explorer usually can’t get (e.g. see the Teledahn hut being drained).

    The Open Cave has a website and a Discord server. Deep Island has a forum section on the Guild of Writers’ website.

    D’ni Language Classes

    Shokhootahn Rehn had two updates, one for the D’ni Language Classes and one for the Story Nights.

    Visitors are asked to not post pellet points into the hood imager: one of his former students and a close friend, Yutiel Yoshi, who passed away in 2018, is listed there. He has refrained from posting pellets to maintain her name at the top, as a form of memorial.

    D’ni Language Classes schedule (click to expand)
    • Those who would like to attend the lessons should contact Rehn, preferably on Discord (r’Tayrtahn#1317), or via KImail (#80428). Be sure to include your KI number, so that Rehn can send you a reply!
    • The Guild of Instructors’ Hood will be open and public unless a class is in session. Classes are individual.
    • Daytime openings are on Monday to Friday, at 10:0011:00 or 12:00 KIT, depending on the student’s schedule.
    • Evening openings are on Monday to Friday, at 20:0021:00 or 22:00 KIT, depending on the student’s schedule.
    • Daytime availability is subject to change with little or no notice. Last-minute changes to class times will be announced via Magic Bot (#27527) or Mimi Bot (#71459); to be notified, add both as buddies, then PM them “advert”.

    R’Tayrtahn’s Story Nights

    Story Night Europe and Original Story Night will continue this month with the story of the Fall, which will last for the next 5 weeks. Eventually they will cover all of the books and games, as well as the three human attempts at the restoration of D’ni.

    R’Tayrtahn records videos of the sessions (via an avatar named “I’m a bot, do not message”), that he will eventually upload to his YouTube channelBe careful if you PM r’Tay or the bot during the events, as messages will be visible in the videos 😉

    Videos now also come with auto translated captions in French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Polish, Portuguese and Spanish. Automatic translation often has trouble with words like “D’ni” or “linking books”, so your mileage may vary 😉

    Story Nights schedule (click to expand)
    • Story Nights are held in Tsahno’s Hood every Saturday, gathering at the fountain at around 23:00 KIT, with the story starting at about 23:30 KIT.
    • For Story Nights – Europe, the gatherings are on Saturday starting at 13:30 KIT, with the story starting at about 14:00 KIT.
    • On All Guilds Meeting days, the event will begin at 14:00 KIT or 30 minutes after the meeting, whichever is later.
    • The stories are told using voice chat, so you will need to have your speakers, headphones or KI devices on. If you would like a reminder, please send r’Tayrtahn (#58324) a KImail with your KI number included in the text, so that he can add you to his buddies list.

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

    The next All Guilds Meeting is planned for Saturday, July 5 (Leesahn 3) at 13:00 KIT.

    Until then!

    (06/07 13:06:07) skyisblu: Hi everybody!

    (06/07 13:06:11) rarified: DON’T TIP THE CONES!

    (06/07 13:06:16) skyisblu: I just wanted to remind you that every FIRST Monday of the month, I host Cooking Sessions with Sky at 12 KI in the cavern.

    (06/07 13:06:17) IwonK is trying really hard not to kick the cones…

    (06/07 13:06:31) skyisblu: Last Monday, we gathered in the Guild of Caterers’ Hood to discuss the wonders of delicious Black bean burgers, loaded with taco-themed spices, grilled to perfection, and served with a whole lot of tasty toppings.

    (06/07 13:06:45) skyisblu: If you love a good meat-free burger, this recipe is definitely for you!

    (06/07 13:06:50) Prad: is there chat beyond ‘chat rules’ ?

    (06/07 13:07:05) Prad: *agm rules’ I mean

Next month’s session will be on July 7th, and I think we just figured out July’s recipe in the pre-meeting chat 😀

    (06/07 13:07:17) Claidi Song: 🙂

    (06/07 13:07:58) IwonK: :3

    (06/07 13:08:02) skyisblu: I love trying new things, and sharing my cooking tips and knowledge with everyone. Sometimes we even talk a little gardening!

    (06/07 13:08:17) skyisblu: Oh yeah, and just a quick message for anyone who follows Karaoke in the cavern, it’s back after a month hiatus, and also back at its original time slot of 16 KI on Saturdays. If you haven’t tuned in in a while, it’s a fun time, and DonahooDJ is always a fantastic host! You can join the party in cavern in the New Messenger’s pub in the first alcove on the right, and the music is streamed at http://2.58.194.54:8494 🙂

    (06/07 13:12:31) IwonK: aaaaaah 🙂

    (06/07 13:12:49) Ereshkigal: Have you ever wondered what a truly ancient world like D’ni feels like? Have you ever wondered what deep history our own world has to offer, what it was like to live in the familiar, but alien world of the Bronze or Iron Age?

    (06/07 13:13:01) Ereshkigal: Then join me at Ancient Stories every Tuesday in the Kadish Gallery here in D’ni! There, I tell stories from the ancient world: sometimes from D’ni, sometimes from Persia, sometimes from India or Egypt. Currently I am telling the story of Theseus, the young Athenian prince who goes to Minoan Crete to fight the sacred bull and free his people from oppression by the Minoans.

    (06/07 13:13:16) Ereshkigal: We meet at 11.30 KI; you can get to out instance of the Gallery by pinging “link” to Mirobot or Minbot.

    (06/07 13:16:15) IndigoMoon: cool

    (06/07 13:16:19) Augur: It tied last vote with our winner, so it seems it was also a popular choice! After our meeting we’ll be back to normal voting for September’s book.

    (06/07 13:17:58) PodHopper: Shorah everyone 🙂

    (06/07 13:18:08) PodHopper: Today, I have 3 announcements:

    (06/07 13:18:14) Prad: ah now is better – I think I had invisichat – had to relink to kirel for chat …

    (06/07 13:18:26) PodHopper: 1) Like previous years, I will start preparing the upcoming Summer Festival in August.

    (06/07 13:18:37) PodHopper: The festival is planned for the week from august 4 until august 10.

    (06/07 13:18:47) PodHopper: The theme for this year’s SummerFest is: Streams of Friendship.

    (06/07 13:18:58) PodHopper: It will showcase all the streams and activities that make this cavern feel alive.

    (06/07 13:19:11) PodHopper: But I’m hoping it will invite other people to come up with an audio or video stream themselves.

    (06/07 13:19:22) PodHopper: We have event hosts experienced in audio and video streams, so bringing anyone up to speed in how it’s done can be arranged.

    (06/07 13:19:44) PodHopper: Anyone who would like to do an event during SummerFest is invited to contact me, it doesn’t have to involve using a stream *****. Any idea is welcome.

    (06/07 13:20:12) PodHopper: Magic Word 😀

    (06/07 13:20:47) PodHopper: ah after the word stream I had written per se as one word, my mistake

    (06/07 13:21:24) PodHopper: I still don’t know if it’s french or english tho..

    (06/07 13:21:33) PodHopper: anyway

    (06/07 13:21:34) Ereshkigal: And then it gets censored? Is it a bad word in some language

    (06/07 13:21:35) Dreamer3: latin?

    (06/07 13:21:42) IndigoMoon: latin yeah

    (06/07 13:21:50) thor-ham starts to laugh

    (06/07 13:21:55) Claidi Song: D’ni?

    (06/07 13:22:03) PodHopper: 2) In the past few weeks, I have set up a new website from where I plan to broadcast my future streams.

    (06/07 13:22:05) Calum Traveler: the things the DRC decided to filter…

    (06/07 13:22:12) Musica3: Latin

    (06/07 13:22:21) IndigoMoon: per se means “in itself”

    (06/07 13:22:27) PodHopper: thanks 🙂

    (06/07 13:22:54) PodHopper: The reason I started this is because I don’t like the policy of Caster to track their visitors.

    (06/07 13:22:55) Calum Traveler: new website?

    (06/07 13:23:04) PodHopper: stream site

    (06/07 13:23:16) PodHopper: As this website runs on my own server, I can make sure that will not happen.

    (06/07 13:23:23) Thumbs up from Calum Traveler

    (06/07 13:23:27) PodHopper: The site is already online and seems to work well but I will run a few more tests in the coming weeks before I officially start broadcasting from that site.

    (06/07 13:23:28) Thumbs up from Emor D’ni Lap

    (06/07 13:23:39) PodHopper: The address is: https://hoppertunes.nl

    (06/07 13:23:55) PodHopper: So, I have planned a stress-test on monday june 9 from 13:00-14:00 ki, to test if there’s any bottleneck in my setup.

    (06/07 13:24:08) PodHopper: I hereby invite anyone to tune in to the stream that day, the more the better.

    (06/07 13:24:11) Dreamer3: Is Urutunes part of Caster, and will you no longer be available there?

    (06/07 13:24:42) PodHopper: No, urutunes is not caster, urutunes just links there as most streams are on caster

    (06/07 13:25:08) PodHopper: ok, last one:

    (06/07 13:25:17) PodHopper: 3) In about a month from now, I will also move my own website (http://www.podhopper.dds.nl) to this server.

    (06/07 13:25:21) thor-ham just learned something

    (06/07 13:25:30) PodHopper: That will allow me to make the domain name a little shorter and enable https for it.

    (06/07 13:25:42) PodHopper: More info will follow next month, at which point I will also try to contact websites that link to my site.

    (06/07 13:26:07) PodHopper: That’s my 3 announcements

    (06/07 13:26:15) PodHopper: Any Questions?

    (06/07 13:26:18) Claidi Song: No questions in the queue

    (06/07 13:32:19) Buddy: T-shirt availability?

    (06/07 13:32:41) Calum Traveler: Yes, we know the Nexus does not have links to Emporium or Sameehn properly, this is a temp lockout while we try to sort out bad gateway images on the books.

    (06/07 13:33:12) Calum Traveler: Yes, we’re awae that the Sameehn and Kalamee books in the Emporium are now nonfuctioning with regards to the share regions. We’re not sure what happened inbetween updates, but it slipped by us.

    (06/07 13:33:16) Calum Traveler bows in apology

    (06/07 13:33:55) Calum Traveler: i’d also like to apologize for some miscommunication issues regarding Sameehn’s availability. we weren’t quite all on the same page with regards to what promotion should be done.

    (06/07 13:34:41) Calum Traveler: i dont have anything else to add on that front right now.

    (06/07 13:34:51) rarified: Even the Bahro weren’t perfect.

    (06/07 13:34:53) Calum Traveler: question about the shirts…

    (06/07 13:35:04) Calum Traveler: last year’s mysterium T should be in the GoMePub this year

    (06/07 13:35:21) Calum Traveler: i havent gotten this year’s design in yet, and even then, there’s some hurdles in that we’ve run out of table space

    (06/07 13:35:38) Calum Traveler: and we need to do some expansion of the Mysterium mode setup to add new shirt room

    (06/07 13:35:48) Buddy: I have a small one that I could lend you.

    (06/07 13:36:10) Calum Traveler: to that end I’m hoping to open the East Wing during Mysterium Mode,

    (06/07 13:36:10) Buddy: Table that is, not room

    (06/07 13:36:24) Calum Traveler: but the restoration of that room is slow going among some other things.

    (06/07 13:36:39) Calum Traveler: im not sure it’ll make it in before this year’s Mysterium.

    (06/07 13:36:55) Calum Traveler: so im not going to promise that.

    (06/07 13:38:25) caver1: Thanks.

    (06/07 13:38:26) Calum Traveler: it’s on the second floor, currently blocked off with banners and a barricade

    (06/07 13:38:33) Claidi Song starts to laugh

    (06/07 13:38:51) Calum Traveler: any other questions?

    (06/07 13:38:55) Calum Traveler looks around for a bit

    (06/07 13:38:59) IwonK: what is the meaning of life?

    (06/07 13:39:12) Claidi Song: Is no one else working on this stuff, Cal?

    (06/07 13:39:14) Calum Traveler: many will be, many wont be, Sky,

    (06/07 13:39:19) Dreamer3: What is the meaning of livestream?

    (06/07 13:39:36) Calum Traveler: we’re extremely short staffed right now due to Surface Life Obligations, claidi.

    (06/07 13:39:49) Calum Traveler: im basically one of the only people with an exceeding amount of free time

    (06/07 13:39:49) thor-ham: http://42 Dreamer

    (06/07 13:39:49) Claidi Song nods her head

    (06/07 13:39:56) uru348: You watch a river with fish in it

    (06/07 13:40:11) Dreamer3: : )

    (06/07 13:40:12) Claidi Song is amazed!

    (06/07 13:40:15) rarified: 42 fish

    (06/07 13:40:23) Calum Traveler: additionally, certain people have vanished on us, leaving their projects uncertain, so we’ve suspended work on those projects until we hear back from them again.

    (06/07 13:40:25) Prad: thank you for the fish

    (06/07 13:40:31) Cave woman: ghoti

    (06/07 13:40:37) IwonK: Ni!

    (06/07 13:40:46) Calum Traveler: please see https://archive.guildofarchivists.org/wiki/Reference:Explorers_Restoration_Projects for a list of active or suspended projects.

    (06/07 13:40:49) Dreamer3: Were they kidnapped?

    (06/07 13:40:55) Calum Traveler: unknown, Dreamer3

    (06/07 13:41:19) Calum Traveler: im just going to assume surface life obligations drew them away

    (06/07 13:41:32) Calum Traveler: also, before i go

    (06/07 13:41:37) Buddy: Darn rl!

    (06/07 13:41:41) Calum Traveler: yes, the beneath forums had a small issue last month

    (06/07 13:41:52) Calum Traveler: the database was recovered, but the visuals of the site had a slight overhaul

    (06/07 13:41:56) Calum Traveler: but everything is back in order

    (06/07 13:42:15) Cave woman: what is to be darned? Socks?

    (06/07 13:42:48) IndigoMoon: oh dang

    (06/07 13:42:59) Claidi Song: Thank you, Cal!

    (06/07 13:43:11) Claidi Song: ~~~ TOC Ayoheek ~~~

    (06/07 13:43:16) Claidi Song beckons you

    (06/07 13:43:16) Claidi Song: Welcome to the stage, Prad!

    (06/07 13:43:24) caver1: I can help with Amtrak information.

    (06/07 13:43:37) Prad: short information from me

    (06/07 13:43:52) Prad: I’m hosting on the TOC shard every monday at 14 KI time in the Ayohikers hood an Ayoheek night. My gamemaster avatar there is Ayohiker.

    (06/07 13:44:10) Prad: One year ago when I started that event, I added a rule to the “The Ayohikers guide through the game” which went like “(I’d prefer to make sure that everyone has the chance to choose the first symbol [in a round] – with more than two players we hop the round entry clockwise)”,

    (06/07 13:44:31) Prad: because I felt it to be more like rock-paper-scisssors with two players then like I knew it where every round the person starting it toggles.

    (06/07 13:44:47) Prad: I decided to remove that rule now to accelerate the gameflow, so everyone can start a round – even if it’s always the same ones.

    (06/07 13:45:04) Prad: That way it is also more similar to the Ayoheek night hosted in MOULa by BogusMeat Factory.

    (06/07 13:45:25) Prad: That’s it from me.

    (06/07 13:45:32) Claidi Song: No questions in the queue.

    (06/07 13:45:32) Prad: Any questions?

    (06/07 13:45:38) Prad: okay

    (06/07 13:45:38) Claidi Song: Thank you, Prad!

    (06/07 13:45:47) Claidi Song: On the subject of shards . . .

    (06/07 13:45:56) Claidi Song: ~~~ Fan Age Expeditions ~~~

    (06/07 13:46:01) Claidi Song: The Fan Age Expedition tomorrow is cancelled. Korov’ev, our fearless expedition leader, is currently conducting a private expedition in RL :))

    (06/07 13:46:20) Claidi Song: However, he wanted to have his plans for future Fan Age Expeditions announced. Expeditions are every Sunday at 11 KIT. The updated plan is as follows:

    (06/07 13:46:21) shokhootahn Rehn: Cool!

    (06/07 13:46:29) Dreamer3 is sad

    (06/07 13:46:33) Claidi Song: The 3rd cycle of the Fan Age Expeditions, on Deep Island, is ending soon… likely by the end of this month!

    (06/07 13:46:43) Claidi Song: For the 4th cycle, as an experiment I’ll try splitting them between Deep Island and The Open Cave (MOUL):

    (06/07 13:46:58) Claidi Song: One Sunday we’ll visit a fan Age on Deep Island, the other a Cyan/fan Age on The Open Cave.

    (06/07 13:47:07) Claidi Song: To be clear, I’m not leaving DI, just alternating between the shards!

    (06/07 13:47:19) Claidi Song: On TOS, participant will get an invite to a dedicated avatar’s instances, and will be free to revisit them later.

    (06/07 13:47:34) Claidi Song: Old-timers may remember the ‘Public Avatar’, that’s the inspiration 😉

    (06/07 13:47:46) ScottMiller: I wish I could get Deep Island working on my system…

    (06/07 13:47:50) Claidi Song: I’ve discussed a bit this idea of splitting the expeditions with the regulars and the TOC folks, they seem to like it 🙂

    (06/07 13:48:12) Claidi Song: For Cyan Ages, I’ll leave the detailed explanation of the backstory to Larry, since I’m not trying to duplicate the Cavern Tours! Keep in mind, we *will* get into spoiler territory.

    (06/07 13:48:27) Claidi Song: The focus in this case will be trying to see an Age from perspectives a single explorer usually can’t get (e.g. see the Teledahn hut being drained).

    (06/07 13:48:44) Claidi Song: First, TOC has ‘cheat’ commands similar to those in Deep Island, which are handy for moving quickly between different areas;

    (06/07 13:48:54) Claidi Song: Second, TOC has recently made a comeback after a few years of abandonment:

    (06/07 13:49:04) Claidi Song: It now includes all the new Ages released since 2020, and is welcoming more events.

    (06/07 13:49:24) Claidi Song: I joined MOUL at a time when shards were sometimes as crowded as MOUL itself. Maybe we can recapture a bit of that 😉

    (06/07 13:49:47) Ereshkigal: I still need to install some shards

    (06/07 13:50:20) Claidi Song This is all Korov’ev speaking

    (06/07 13:50:31) Claidi Song: They have, of course, also a Discord server: https://discord.gg/u9jc22UFaN

    (06/07 13:50:48) Claidi Song: That’s all for now! If there are questions… you should save them for when I’m actually there 😉

    (06/07 13:50:54) Dreamer3: Your impersonation was perfect, Claidi.

    (06/07 13:50:56) Claidi Song: /clap A huge Thank you, to Korov’ev for organizing these Expeditions into fan creativity. They are a highlight to my week!

    (06/07 13:51:03) thor-ham: sounded just like him

    (06/07 13:51:29) Claidi Song: ~~~ D’ni Language Class and Story Night ~~~

    (06/07 13:51:34) Claidi Song beckons you

    (06/07 13:51:34) Claidi Song: shokhootahn Rehn/r’Tayrtahn, the stage is yours!

    (06/07 13:52:02) shokhootahn Rehn: As always, I have two separate announcements. One is for the D’ni Language Class and the other one is for r’Tayrtahn’s Story Night.

    (06/07 13:52:14) shokhootahn Rehn: First, the language classes…

    (06/07 13:52:23) shokhootahn Rehn: There are evening classes available on weekday evenings Monday through Thursday, starting at 20:00, 21:00 or 22:00 KI time, depending on the student’s schedule.

    (06/07 13:52:40) shokhootahn Rehn: (Friday is already taken)

    (06/07 13:52:52) shokhootahn Rehn: There are daytime openings starting at either 10:00 KI time, 11:00 KI time, or 12:00 KI time, again, depending on the student’s schedule. Contact me by PM to set up a day and a time, KI mail me at KI# 80428, or on Discord at r’Tayrtahn.

    (06/07 13:53:08) shokhootahn Rehn: (Discord is best)

    (06/07 13:53:18) shokhootahn Rehn: All classes are Monday through Friday, only. There are no weekend classes available.

    (06/07 13:53:27) shokhootahn Rehn: If you are going to contact me by KI-mail, please remember to include your KI #.

    (06/07 13:53:44) shokhootahn Rehn: As always, current students can find last-minute updates to class times on the left-hand imager.

    (06/07 13:54:13) shokhootahn Rehn: Another victim… er, student… has finished the 201 lessons and is working on their final exam.

    (06/07 13:54:26) Claidi Song: sorry caver

    (06/07 13:54:35) caver1: 🙂

    (06/07 13:54:36) shokhootahn Rehn: (their name will be revealed at the next AGM)

    (06/07 13:55:01) shokhootahn Rehn: The Guild of Instructors’ Hood will be open and public unless a class is in session.

    (06/07 13:55:14) shokhootahn Rehn: I have one request for visitors: Please do not post pellet points into the Hood imager.

    (06/07 13:55:17) Dreamer3: I’d want to put that on my resume.

    (06/07 13:55:18) ScottMiller: a glutton for punishment!

    (06/07 13:55:20) IndigoMoon: congrats to the victim, whoever it is

    (06/07 13:55:36) shokhootahn Rehn: Are there any questions?

    (06/07 13:55:38) Claidi Song: No questions in the queue.

    (06/07 13:55:45) shokhootahn Rehn: Moving on…

    (06/07 13:55:56) shokhootahn Rehn: The second announcement is about r’Taytahn’s Story Night.

    (06/07 13:56:16) shokhootahn Rehn: Tonight, we will continue with the story of the Fall as told in the novel, The Book of T’Ana. The stories of the fall will last for the next 5 weeks.

    (06/07 13:56:33) Claidi Song: I spelled r’Taytahn wrong, sorry

    (06/07 13:56:45) shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night covers the entire 10,000-year history of the D’ni plus all of the books and games, as well as the three human attempts at the restoration of D’ni!

    (06/07 13:57:26) shokhootahn Rehn: Sorry, The Book of Ti’Ana.

    (06/07 13:57:50) shokhootahn Rehn: I am recording Story Night for (eventual) upload to my YouTube channel (rTayrtahn). I have created an avatar for the purpose of recording. His name is “I’m a bot, do not message”. Please do not PM him during the story unless you want to see your message displayed for the entire internet. 😉 Also, please do NOT add him as a buddy. He has no special abilities and is there only to record Story Night.

    (06/07 13:58:25) shokhootahn Rehn: As an aside, I am also providing caption translations into several languages: French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish. Since I don’t speak any of those languages, it will be up to my viewers to tell me how well that is working out. 🙂

    (06/07 13:58:37) Dreamer3 feels sorry for the lonely, buddy-less bot

    (06/07 13:58:38) shokhootahn Rehn: Let me know if you would like to see any additional translations.

    (06/07 13:58:51) shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night is held in the public neighborhood of Tsahno’s Hood every Saturday.

    (06/07 13:59:00) shokhootahn Rehn: Original Story Night is held at 23:30 KI time on Saturday night. We start gathering at the hood’s fountain starting at 23:00 KI time.

    (06/07 13:59:27) ScottMiller: there’s a demand for Indonesian?

    (06/07 14:00:05) shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night – Europe is held at 14:00 KI time on Saturday afternoon. We start gathering at the hood’s fountain starting at 13:30 KI time except for AGM Saturdays, when it starts at 14:00 KI or 30 minutes after the AGM, whichever is later.Story Night – Europe is held at 14:00 KI time on Saturday afternoon.

    (06/07 14:00:58) Ereshkigal: I’d love to see a D’ni embassy in some coutry

    (06/07 14:01:05) shokhootahn Rehn: Should I need to cancel one of the stories at the last minute, I will try to aprise one or two of my regular audience members of the situation so they can spread the news. 🙂

    (06/07 14:01:08) Ereshkigal: Or some country’s embassy here in D’ni

    (06/07 14:01:13) shokhootahn Rehn: Minasunda is one of those members, as she runs the announcements channel on Discord.

    (06/07 14:01:23) shokhootahn Rehn: The stories are told using voice so you will need to have your speakers or headsets on.

    (06/07 14:01:36) shokhootahn Rehn: r’Tayrtahn announces the start of Story Night through buddy chat. If you would like to receive the announcements, please send r’T a KI mail (with your KI number included in the text) and he’ll add you to his buddies list. His KI number is 58324. KI mails do not identify the KI number of the sender. Though the sender is added to the Recents folder, it is still a good idea to add it to the body of the text. 🙂

    (06/07 14:01:42) shokhootahn Rehn: We hope to see you there!

    (06/07 14:01:46) shokhootahn Rehn: Any questions?

    (06/07 13:06:31) skyisblu: Last Monday, we gathered in the Guild of Caterers' Hood to discuss the wonders of delicious Black bean burgers, loaded with taco-themed spices, grilled to perfection, and served with a whole lot of tasty toppings.
    (06/07 13:06:45) skyisblu: If you love a good meat-free burger, this recipe is definitely for you!
    (06/07 13:06:50) Prad: is there chat beyond 'chat rules' ?
    (06/07 13:07:05) Prad: *agm rules' I mean
    (06/07 13:07:09) skyisblu: For future cooking sessions, we always meet the Guild of Caterers' Hood, and online for the livestream at https://www.twitch.tv/skyisblu_is_me – remember that the audio commentary is done in both English and French. Next month's session will be on July 7th, and I think we just figured out July's recipe in the pre-meeting chat 😀
    (06/07 13:07:17) Claidi Song: 🙂
    (06/07 13:07:33) skyisblu: If you've missed any of the previous Cooking Sessions, including the Black Bean Burgers, all of the recipes and accompanying videos are available on my website, https://cookingsessionswithsky.blogspot.com/
    (06/07 13:07:50) skyisblu: And if you have any requests, or suggestions for future cooking sessions, I am always open to them.
    (06/07 13:07:58) IwonK: :3
    (06/07 13:08:02) skyisblu: I love trying new things, and sharing my cooking tips and knowledge with everyone. Sometimes we even talk a little gardening!
    (06/07 13:08:17) skyisblu: Oh yeah, and just a quick message for anyone who follows Karaoke in the cavern, it's back after a month hiatus, and also back at its original time slot of 16 KI on Saturdays. If you haven't tuned in in a while, it's a fun time, and DonahooDJ is always a fantastic host! You can join the party in cavern in the New Messenger's pub in the first alcove on the right, and the music is streamed at http://2.58.194.54:8494 🙂
    (06/07 13:08:49) skyisblu: That's it for me – any questions?

    (06/07 13:13:01) Ereshkigal: Then join me at Ancient Stories every Tuesday in the Kadish Gallery here in D'ni! There, I tell stories from the ancient world: sometimes from D'ni, sometimes from Persia, sometimes from India or Egypt. Currently I am telling the story of Theseus, the young Athenian prince who goes to Minoan Crete to fight the sacred bull and free his people from oppression by the Minoans.

    (06/07 13:18:08) PodHopper: Today, I have 3 announcements:
    (06/07 13:18:14) Prad: ah now is better – I think I had invisichat – had to relink to kirel for chat …
    (06/07 13:18:26) PodHopper: 1) Like previous years, I will start preparing the upcoming Summer Festival in August.
    (06/07 13:18:37) PodHopper: The festival is planned for the week from august 4 until august 10.
    (06/07 13:18:47) PodHopper: The theme for this year's SummerFest is: Streams of Friendship.
    (06/07 13:18:58) PodHopper: It will showcase all the streams and activities that make this cavern feel alive.
    (06/07 13:19:08) skyisblu cheers
    (06/07 13:19:11) PodHopper: But I'm hoping it will invite other people to come up with an audio or video stream themselves.
    (06/07 13:19:22) PodHopper: We have event hosts experienced in audio and video streams, so bringing anyone up to speed in how it's done can be arranged.
    (06/07 13:19:44) PodHopper: Anyone who would like to do an event during SummerFest is invited to contact me, it doesn't have to involve using a stream *****. Any idea is welcome.
    (06/07 13:20:12) PodHopper: Magic Word 😀
    (06/07 13:20:47) PodHopper: ah after the word stream I had written per se as one word, my mistake
    (06/07 13:21:24) PodHopper: I still don't know if it's french or english tho..
    (06/07 13:21:33) PodHopper: anyway
    (06/07 13:21:34) Ereshkigal: And then it gets censored? Is it a bad word in some language
    (06/07 13:21:35) Dreamer3: latin?
    (06/07 13:21:42) IndigoMoon: latin yeah
    (06/07 13:21:50) thor-ham starts to laugh
    (06/07 13:21:55) Claidi Song: D'ni?
    (06/07 13:22:03) PodHopper: 2) In the past few weeks, I have set up a new website from where I plan to broadcast my future streams.
    (06/07 13:22:05) Calum Traveler: the things the DRC decided to filter…
    (06/07 13:22:12) Musica3: Latin
    (06/07 13:22:21) IndigoMoon: per se means "in itself"
    (06/07 13:22:27) PodHopper: thanks 🙂
    (06/07 13:22:54) PodHopper: The reason I started this is because I don't like the policy of Caster to track their visitors.
    (06/07 13:22:55) Calum Traveler: new website?
    (06/07 13:23:04) PodHopper: stream site
    (06/07 13:23:16) PodHopper: As this website runs on my own server, I can make sure that will not happen.
    (06/07 13:23:23) Thumbs up from Calum Traveler
    (06/07 13:23:27) PodHopper: The site is already online and seems to work well but I will run a few more tests in the coming weeks before I officially start broadcasting from that site.
    (06/07 13:23:28) Thumbs up from Emor D'ni Lap
    (06/07 13:23:39) PodHopper: The address is: https://hoppertunes.nl
    (06/07 13:23:50) Calum Traveler claps his hands
    (06/07 13:23:55) PodHopper: So, I have planned a stress-test on monday june 9 from 13:00-14:00 ki, to test if there's any bottleneck in my setup.
    (06/07 13:24:08) PodHopper: I hereby invite anyone to tune in to the stream that day, the more the better.
    (06/07 13:24:11) Dreamer3: Is Urutunes part of Caster, and will you no longer be available there?
    (06/07 13:24:42) PodHopper: No, urutunes is not caster, urutunes just links there as most streams are on caster
    (06/07 13:25:08) PodHopper: ok, last one:
    (06/07 13:25:17) PodHopper: 3) In about a month from now, I will also move my own website (http://www.podhopper.dds.nl) to this server.
    (06/07 13:25:21) thor-ham just learned something
    (06/07 13:25:30) PodHopper: That will allow me to make the domain name a little shorter and enable https for it.
    (06/07 13:25:42) PodHopper: More info will follow next month, at which point I will also try to contact websites that link to my site.
    (06/07 13:26:07) PodHopper: That's my 3 announcements
    (06/07 13:26:15) PodHopper: Any Questions?

    (06/07 13:32:14) Calum Traveler: i'd like to circle quickly to some common questions that we've been getting post update,
    (06/07 13:32:19) Buddy: T-shirt availability?
    (06/07 13:32:41) Calum Traveler: Yes, we know the Nexus does not have links to Emporium or Sameehn properly, this is a temp lockout while we try to sort out bad gateway images on the books.
    (06/07 13:33:12) Calum Traveler: Yes, we're awae that the Sameehn and Kalamee books in the Emporium are now nonfuctioning with regards to the share regions. We're not sure what happened inbetween updates, but it slipped by us.
    (06/07 13:33:16) Calum Traveler bows in apology
    (06/07 13:33:55) Calum Traveler: i'd also like to apologize for some miscommunication issues regarding Sameehn's availability. we weren't quite all on the same page with regards to what promotion should be done.
    (06/07 13:34:41) Calum Traveler: i dont have anything else to add on that front right now.
    (06/07 13:34:51) rarified: Even the Bahro weren't perfect.
    (06/07 13:34:53) Calum Traveler: question about the shirts…
    (06/07 13:35:04) Calum Traveler: last year's mysterium T should be in the GoMePub this year
    (06/07 13:35:21) Calum Traveler: i havent gotten this year's design in yet, and even then, there's some hurdles in that we've run out of table space
    (06/07 13:35:38) Calum Traveler: and we need to do some expansion of the Mysterium mode setup to add new shirt room
    (06/07 13:35:48) Buddy: I have a small one that I could lend you.
    (06/07 13:36:10) Calum Traveler: to that end I'm hoping to open the East Wing during Mysterium Mode,
    (06/07 13:36:10) Buddy: Table that is, not room
    (06/07 13:36:24) Calum Traveler: but the restoration of that room is slow going among some other things.
    (06/07 13:36:39) Calum Traveler: im not sure it'll make it in before this year's Mysterium.
    (06/07 13:36:55) Calum Traveler: so im not going to promise that.
    (06/07 13:37:05) Buddy: Okay, thanks

    (06/07 13:37:49) caver1: What room?
    (06/07 13:37:52) Calum Traveler: youll have to fly or drive, or take a train.

    (06/07 13:39:19) Dreamer3: What is the meaning of livestream?
    (06/07 13:39:36) Calum Traveler: we're extremely short staffed right now due to Surface Life Obligations, claidi.
    (06/07 13:39:49) Calum Traveler: im basically one of the only people with an exceeding amount of free time

    (06/07 13:40:23) Calum Traveler: additionally, certain people have vanished on us, leaving their projects uncertain, so we've suspended work on those projects until we hear back from them again.

    (06/07 13:40:49) Dreamer3: Were they kidnapped?
    (06/07 13:40:55) Calum Traveler: unknown, Dreamer3
    (06/07 13:41:19) Calum Traveler: im just going to assume surface life obligations drew them away
    (06/07 13:41:32) Calum Traveler: also, before i go

    (06/07 13:43:37) Prad: short information from me
    (06/07 13:43:52) Prad: I'm hosting on the TOC shard every monday at 14 KI time in the Ayohikers hood an Ayoheek night. My gamemaster avatar there is Ayohiker.
    (06/07 13:44:10) Prad: One year ago when I started that event, I added a rule to the "The Ayohikers guide through the game" which went like "(I'd prefer to make sure that everyone has the chance to choose the first symbol [in a round] – with more than two players we hop the round entry clockwise)",
    (06/07 13:44:31) Prad: because I felt it to be more like rock-paper-scisssors with two players then like I knew it where every round the person starting it toggles.
    (06/07 13:44:47) Prad: I decided to remove that rule now to accelerate the gameflow, so everyone can start a round – even if it's always the same ones.
    (06/07 13:45:04) Prad: That way it is also more similar to the Ayoheek night hosted in MOULa by BogusMeat Factory.
    (06/07 13:45:25) Prad: That's it from me.

    (06/07 13:45:56) Claidi Song: ~~~ Fan Age Expeditions ~~~
    (06/07 13:46:01) Claidi Song: The Fan Age Expedition tomorrow is cancelled. Korov'ev, our fearless expedition leader, is currently conducting a private expedition in RL :))
    (06/07 13:46:20) Claidi Song: However, he wanted to have his plans for future Fan Age Expeditions announced. Expeditions are every Sunday at 11 KIT. The updated plan is as follows:
    (06/07 13:46:21) shokhootahn Rehn: Cool!
    (06/07 13:46:29) Dreamer3 is sad
    (06/07 13:46:33) Claidi Song: The 3rd cycle of the Fan Age Expeditions, on Deep Island, is ending soon… likely by the end of this month!
    (06/07 13:46:43) Claidi Song: For the 4th cycle, as an experiment I'll try splitting them between Deep Island and The Open Cave (MOUL):
    (06/07 13:46:58) Claidi Song: One Sunday we'll visit a fan Age on Deep Island, the other a Cyan/fan Age on The Open Cave.
    (06/07 13:47:07) Claidi Song: To be clear, I'm not leaving DI, just alternating between the shards!
    (06/07 13:47:19) Claidi Song: On TOS, participant will get an invite to a dedicated avatar's instances, and will be free to revisit them later.
    (06/07 13:47:34) Claidi Song: Old-timers may remember the 'Public Avatar', that's the inspiration 😉
    (06/07 13:47:46) ScottMiller: I wish I could get Deep Island working on my system…
    (06/07 13:47:50) Claidi Song: I've discussed a bit this idea of splitting the expeditions with the regulars and the TOC folks, they seem to like it 🙂
    (06/07 13:48:12) Claidi Song: For Cyan Ages, I'll leave the detailed explanation of the backstory to Larry, since I'm not trying to duplicate the Cavern Tours! Keep in mind, we *will* get into spoiler territory.
    (06/07 13:48:27) Claidi Song: The focus in this case will be trying to see an Age from perspectives a single explorer usually can't get (e.g. see the Teledahn hut being drained).
    (06/07 13:48:44) Claidi Song: First, TOC has 'cheat' commands similar to those in Deep Island, which are handy for moving quickly between different areas;
    (06/07 13:48:54) Claidi Song: Second, TOC has recently made a comeback after a few years of abandonment:
    (06/07 13:49:04) Claidi Song: It now includes all the new Ages released since 2020, and is welcoming more events.
    (06/07 13:49:24) Claidi Song: I joined MOUL at a time when shards were sometimes as crowded as MOUL itself. Maybe we can recapture a bit of that 😉
    (06/07 13:49:47) Ereshkigal: I still need to install some shards
    (06/07 13:50:20) Claidi Song This is all Korov'ev speaking
    (06/07 13:50:31) Claidi Song: They have, of course, also a Discord server: https://discord.gg/u9jc22UFaN
    (06/07 13:50:48) Claidi Song: That's all for now! If there are questions… you should save them for when I'm actually there 😉
    (06/07 13:50:54) Dreamer3: Your impersonation was perfect, Claidi.
    (06/07 13:50:56) Claidi Song: /clap A huge Thank you, to Korov'ev for organizing these Expeditions into fan creativity. They are a highlight to my week!

    (06/07 13:52:23) shokhootahn Rehn: There are evening classes available on weekday evenings Monday through Thursday, starting at 20:00, 21:00 or 22:00 KI time, depending on the student's schedule.

    (06/07 13:52:52) shokhootahn Rehn: There are daytime openings starting at either 10:00 KI time, 11:00 KI time, or 12:00 KI time, again, depending on the student's schedule. Contact me by PM to set up a day and a time, KI mail me at KI# 80428, or on Discord at r'Tayrtahn.
    (06/07 13:53:08) shokhootahn Rehn: (Discord is best)
    (06/07 13:53:18) shokhootahn Rehn: All classes are Monday through Friday, only. There are no weekend classes available.
    (06/07 13:53:27) shokhootahn Rehn: If you are going to contact me by KI-mail, please remember to include your KI #.
    (06/07 13:53:44) shokhootahn Rehn: As always, current students can find last-minute updates to class times on the left-hand imager.
    (06/07 13:54:13) shokhootahn Rehn: Another victim… er, student… has finished the 201 lessons and is working on their final exam.
    (06/07 13:54:26) Claidi Song: sorry caver
    (06/07 13:54:35) caver1: 🙂
    (06/07 13:54:36) shokhootahn Rehn: (their name will be revealed at the next AGM)

    (06/07 13:55:14) shokhootahn Rehn: I have one request for visitors: Please do not post pellet points into the Hood imager.
    (06/07 13:55:17) Dreamer3: I'd want to put that on my resume.
    (06/07 13:55:18) ScottMiller: a glutton for punishment!
    (06/07 13:55:20) IndigoMoon: congrats to the victim, whoever it is
    (06/07 13:55:36) shokhootahn Rehn: Are there any questions?
    (06/07 13:55:38) Claidi Song: No questions in the queue.
    (06/07 13:55:45) shokhootahn Rehn: Moving on…
    (06/07 13:55:56) shokhootahn Rehn: The second announcement is about r'Taytahn's Story Night.
    (06/07 13:56:16) shokhootahn Rehn: Tonight, we will continue with the story of the Fall as told in the novel, The Book of T'Ana. The stories of the fall will last for the next 5 weeks.
    (06/07 13:56:33) Claidi Song: I spelled r'Taytahn wrong, sorry
    (06/07 13:56:45) shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night covers the entire 10,000-year history of the D'ni plus all of the books and games, as well as the three human attempts at the restoration of D'ni!
    (06/07 13:57:26) shokhootahn Rehn: Sorry, The Book of Ti'Ana.
    (06/07 13:57:50) shokhootahn Rehn: I am recording Story Night for (eventual) upload to my YouTube channel (rTayrtahn). I have created an avatar for the purpose of recording. His name is "I'm a bot, do not message". Please do not PM him during the story unless you want to see your message displayed for the entire internet. 😉 Also, please do NOT add him as a buddy. He has no special abilities and is there only to record Story Night.
    (06/07 13:58:25) shokhootahn Rehn: As an aside, I am also providing caption translations into several languages: French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish. Since I don't speak any of those languages, it will be up to my viewers to tell me how well that is working out. 🙂
    (06/07 13:58:37) Dreamer3 feels sorry for the lonely, buddy-less bot
    (06/07 13:58:38) shokhootahn Rehn: Let me know if you would like to see any additional translations.
    (06/07 13:58:51) shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night is held in the public neighborhood of Tsahno's Hood every Saturday.

    (06/07 14:01:05) shokhootahn Rehn: Should I need to cancel one of the stories at the last minute, I will try to aprise one or two of my regular audience members of the situation so they can spread the news. 🙂
    (06/07 14:01:08) Ereshkigal: Or some country's embassy here in D'ni
    (06/07 14:01:13) shokhootahn Rehn: Minasunda is one of those members, as she runs the announcements channel on Discord.
    (06/07 14:01:23) shokhootahn Rehn: The stories are told using voice so you will need to have your speakers or headsets on.
    (06/07 14:01:36) shokhootahn Rehn: r'Tayrtahn announces the start of Story Night through buddy chat. If you would like to receive the announcements, please send r'T a KI mail (with your KI number included in the text) and he'll add you to his buddies list. His KI number is 58324. KI mails do not identify the KI number of the sender. Though the sender is added to the Recents folder, it is still a good idea to add it to the body of the text. 🙂
    (06/07 14:01:42) shokhootahn Rehn: We hope to see you there!
    (06/07 14:01:46) shokhootahn Rehn: Any questions?

    Events in the Cavern

    ☛ On Monday 5, Skyisblu will make a sugar cookie, a quick, fully customizable recipe with only three ingredients; it makes a great addition to a dessert platter or afternoon tea tray for Mother’s Day – which is coming up soon.
    The Cooking Sessions are on the first Monday of the month at 12:00 KIT, via Twitch, in the Guild of Caterers’ Hood. You can find past recipes and recordings at Skyisblu’s blog and YouTube channel.

    IwonK will host a Wonky Talk (on her Twitch channel) on Friday 16 at 15:00 KIT in the Guild of Cookies’ Hood by the heek table. This month’s topic will be “Male protagonists in Games“. Feel free to suggest interesting games she could talk (and draw) about. As always, there will be cookies!
    Besides streaming, IwonK is making some games of her own as a year-long gamedev challenge, using Bitsy; you can find them at her itch.io page.

    ☛ Babbel will host her next classical music program in the Hall of Kings in Ae’gura, on Monday 19 at 12:00 KIT. The theme this month is “Vive la France!”.

    ☛ The revived Cavern Choir at the time of writing has 6 male singers and 4 female singers; they need more female singers, so if you are interested please contact Babbeltje40 (aka Vrouwdinges)  or Prad (#08406189).
    They still have some undecided candidates among their singers for the first song. There are plans for a concert consisting of three songs in August at the MOULa Summer Party.

    ☛ Augur’s Speculative Fiction Book Club will discuss their current book, This Is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone, in Nezetahn(1)’s Hood’s Eder Delin, on May 31 at 12:30 KIT. Everyone is welcome to discuss their opinions on the book, using either voice or text chat.

    ☞ For a more complete list of upcoming events, check our calendar. Times and events may change at the last minute; you can find the latest updates at:

    D’ni Language Classes

    Shokhootahn Rehn had two updates, one for the D’ni Language Classes and one for the Story Nights.

    Visitors are asked to not post pellet points into the hood imager: one of his former students and a close friend, Yutiel Yoshi, who passed away in 2018, is listed there. He has refrained from posting pellets to maintain her name at the top, as a form of memorial.

    D’ni Language Classes schedule (click to expand)
    • Those who would like to attend the lessons should contact Rehn, preferably on Discord (r’Tayrtahn#1317), or via KImail (#80428). Be sure to include your KI number, so that Rehn can send you a reply!
    • The Guild of Instructors’ Hood will be open and public unless a class is in session. Classes are individual.
    • Daytime openings are on Monday to Friday, at 10:0011:00 or 12:00 KIT, depending on the student’s schedule.
    • Evening openings are on Monday to Friday, at 20:0021:00 or 22:00 KIT, depending on the student’s schedule.
    • Daytime availability is subject to change with little or no notice. Last-minute changes to class times will be announced via Magic Bot (#27527) or Mimi Bot (#71459); to be notified, add both as buddies, then PM them “advert”.

    R’Tayrtahn’s Story Nights

    Story Night Europe and Original Story Night will continue this month with the story of the Fall, which will last for the next 6 weeks. Eventually they will cover all of the books and games, as well as the three human attempts at the restoration of D’ni.

    R’Tayrtahn records videos of the sessions (via an avatar named “I’m a bot, do not message”), that he will eventually upload to his YouTube channelBe careful if you PM r’Tay or the bot during the events, as messages will be visible in the videos 😉

    Videos now also come with auto translated captions in French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Polish, Portuguese and Spanish. Automatic translation often has trouble with words like “D’ni” or “linking books”, so your mileage may vary 😉

    Story Nights schedule (click to expand)
    • Story Nights are held in Tsahno’s Hood every Saturday, gathering at the fountain at around 23:00 KIT, with the story starting at about 23:30 KIT.
    • For Story Nights – Europe, the gatherings are on Saturday starting at 13:30 KIT, with the story starting at about 14:00 KIT.
    • On All Guilds Meeting days, the event will begin at 14:00 KIT or 30 minutes after the meeting, whichever is later.
    • The stories are told using voice chat, so you will need to have your speakers, headphones or KI devices on. If you would like a reminder, please send r’Tayrtahn (#58324) a KImail with your KI number included in the text, so that he can add you to his buddies list.

    Miscellanea

    ☛ This month, the Fan Age Expeditions in Deep Island will complete the Secret of the Rainbow Journey, by exploring Edereden by J.J. Jaguar. Then, they will visit Kohdalahn and Tyldalahn by Itep Edor, Corvus and others. The month will close either in Alabaster’s Depths by Dulcamara (if possible), or in the Maintainers’ Gateway by Melvin.


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

    March ended with the CavFunding at 69% (CavCon 2.7) and the reserve at 682%.

    The next All Guilds Meeting is planned for Saturday, June 7 (Leebro 9, 9681) at 13:00 KIT.

    Until then!
