    (02/01 13:04:36) 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 Guild of Caterers' Hood.
    (02/01 13:04:50) skyisblu: For this month's session, I finally decided to tackle the mythical recipe for "Chor Bahkh", the meat-filled roll mentioned in the Book of Ti'Ana, and the only REAL mention of food in the entire Myst trilogy.
    (02/01 13:05:10) skyisblu: It was incredibly freeing to create something that has no recipe nor detailed description, but also possibly too much freedom for something that probably already exists in everyone's imagination! I hope this recipe lives up to everyone's expectations.
    (02/01 13:05:32) skyisblu: 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.
    (02/01 13:05:47) 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/
    (02/01 13:06:01) skyisblu: I hope to see you all there!

    (02/01 13:24:46) Calum Traveler: if you missed the Town Hall this week, I announced that we have a few ages in the initial steps of review on Minkata Alpha,
    (02/01 13:24:54) Calum Traveler: of them that I can talk about,
    (02/01 13:25:12) Calum Traveler: we have the Rei'schu "Apartment" which will, on release, be instead called "Rei'schu: Vo'at Veknen"
    (02/01 13:25:29) Calum Traveler: Or, "Gift House (on the) Stitch(ed) Cliff" in the native tongue
    (02/01 13:25:45) Calum Traveler: and a quaint little project by Ametist called Sameehn.
    (02/01 13:26:03) Calum Traveler: hopefully we'll be seeing both of these sometime in the first half of this year and not the later half like last year ^^;;;

    (02/01 13:27:33) Calum Traveler: Feb 7th to March 7th.
    (02/01 13:27:45) shokhootahn Rehn cheers
    (02/01 13:27:59) Calum Traveler: a summary post is on the Guild of Messengers Website: https://www.guildofmessengers.info/2025/01/27/announcing-rapid-age-development-contest-2025-pod-age-edition/
    (02/01 13:28:18) Calum Traveler: and there's a discussion thread on the Guild of Writers' forum.
    (02/01 13:28:20) ShilohOBrien: Writers! Dip your quillpens!!!
    (02/01 13:28:25) Calum Traveler: https://forum.guildofwriters.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=7856
    (02/01 13:28:30) skyisblu cheers
    (02/01 13:28:38) Calum Traveler: i believe as for "submissions" go,
    (02/01 13:28:58) Calum Traveler: the plan is to have a google doc for submitting your 'completed' projects at the end of deadline,
    (02/01 13:29:04) Calum Traveler: Tweek is working on that as I understand it,
    (02/01 13:29:38) Calum Traveler: you can, of course, download the Pod Blend template early, a link to it is provided on the Guild of Writers' forum post,
    (02/01 13:29:50) Calum Traveler: if you're using 3ds Max, please contact Emor D'ni Lap
    (02/01 13:30:07) Calum Traveler: i'll give yall a brief rundown of the rules,
    (02/01 13:30:33) Calum Traveler: the pod shell, based on Dereno, will be provided to you. This pod shell must be included in your entry to make it a "pod age"
    (02/01 13:31:03) Calum Traveler: but beyond that? the only canon considerations to make is that if you set your Pod on the great pod age, that you do not include a moon.
    (02/01 13:31:12) Calum Traveler: there's. no moon that we can see.
    (02/01 13:31:19) Calum Traveler shrugs
    (02/01 13:31:32) Calum Traveler: whether there is or isnt one doesnt matter, functionally, there's no visible moon.
    (02/01 13:32:02) Calum Traveler: the only included outside terrain will be a sunsprite object and a skydome mesh,
    (02/01 13:32:11) Calum Traveler: the rest is up to you!
    (02/01 13:32:27) Calum Traveler: lore, story, location…
    (02/01 13:32:48) Calum Traveler: as one of the judges, I can't wait to see what yall come up with ๐Ÿ™‚
    (02/01 13:32:54) Prad: (pod inner wall side texturing)
    (02/01 13:33:07) Calum Traveler: that's it for me!
    (02/01 13:33:11) Claidi Song: ShilohOBrian Q: Will only the winner be placed in Chiso? Or will we also have a runner up if it is good enough?

    (02/01 13:33:39) Dreamer3: Does the writer need to have their own blank linking book and ink?
    (02/01 13:33:43) Prad: it's unlikely to be able to have a shard-ready pod age created in one month
    (02/01 13:33:56) Calum Traveler: speaking personally from my own 'develop in a month' challenge that was Naybree,
    (02/01 13:34:04) Calum Traveler: …you're not going to get an age MOULa ready in one month.
    (02/01 13:34:08) Calum Traveler: believe me, i tried.
    (02/01 13:34:17) Calum Traveler: yall saw how long that took me.
    (02/01 13:34:20) Claidi Song: reply The GOME website
    (02/01 13:34:44) Claidi Song: oops reply didn't work. That is where to get info and template etc.
    (02/01 13:34:54) Calum Traveler: we will only consider the RAD Pod winner for inclusion on MOULa *IF* the age creator wants it on MOULa

    (02/01 13:37:34) PodHopper: type one character before pasting
    (02/01 13:38:05) Claidi Song: Appostrophe is a pain. Plain Courier is the only font that works
    (02/01 13:38:18) Dreamer3: Does control v work for texting in chat?
    (02/01 13:38:27) Nosila: yes
    (02/01 13:38:30) shokhootahn Rehn: "=", [backspace] Ctrl + V
    (02/01 13:38:30) PodHopper: it does for me
    (02/01 13:38:32) Theo: yes
    (02/01 13:38:45) Augur: Hm, it's giving a "must be text only" error
    (02/01 13:38:54) Theo: But you need a text field first.
    (02/01 13:38:55) Phoenyx65535: try pasting into notepad first?
    (02/01 13:39:01) PodHopper: yes, tghen you have a special character
    (02/01 13:39:05) Calum Traveler: Augur, you've got a "smart quote" somewhere.
    (02/01 13:39:10) shokhootahn Rehn: Replace your apostrophes and quotation marks.
    (02/01 13:39:12) Dah'mpa: this is an apostrophe issue, probably
    (02/01 13:39:12) Korov'ev: font is not the problem, curly quotes are.
    (02/01 13:39:13) Augur: Ah–thank you Calum!
    (02/01 13:39:14) Calum Traveler: KI doesn't recognize certain characters.
    (02/01 13:39:24) Theo: Work with ascii in notepad?
    (02/01 13:39:32) Augur: Shorah! I am Augur. I've had the pleasure of meeting many of you, and I hope to get to know even more of the faces in this room better over time.
    (02/01 13:39:35) Claidi Song: Yeah the KI is an ancient as D'ni
    (02/01 13:39:46) Augur: (Calum was correct–smart quote was the issue!)

    (02/01 13:40:49) Augur: There are so many wonderful activities haThere are so many wonderful activities happening in the cavern, and I've found myself wanting more and more to kick off something myself. I don't know if others here are like me, but as much as I love to read, I struggle to set aside the time for it unless I have a social aspect involved as well.
    (02/01 13:41:07) Augur: Bear with me–having to fix as I go!
    (02/01 13:41:26) Dreamer3: Bears can be intrusive
    (02/01 13:41:27) PodHopper: you'll learn as you go…
    (02/01 13:41:36) Augur: So! I'm starting up a speculative fiction book club! Speculative fiction is, per the Oxford dictionary, a genre of fiction that encompasses works in which the setting is other than the real world, involving supernatural, futuristic, or other imagined elements. It includes traditional science fiction and fantasy, but expands further to also encompass alternative history, horror, superhero, steampunk, dystopia, and so much more.
    (02/01 13:42:03) jtrigg: Drop Bears are deceptivly dangerous
    (02/01 13:42:20) philipgr: Teddy bears are cuddly
    (02/01 13:42:23) Dah'mpa: dystopia is real life…:(
    (02/01 13:42:35) Claidi Song starts to laugh
    (02/01 13:42:37) Phoenyx65535 is sad
    (02/01 13:42:49) Ereshkigal: Oooh can I join the book club
    (02/01 13:42:51) Augur: e’ll be meeting in Eder Delin (neighborhood tba), the third Saturday of every other month, starting March 15th, at 12:30 KI time. There’s a little overlap there with the latter part of karaoke, but with most time slots booked there’s very little temporal real estate left in the cavern! I appreciate everyone who assisted in walking me through what is happening when to determine the best option to not step on too many toes right off the bat.
    (02/01 13:43:50) Augur: I certainly don’t want to be the sole decider of what we’ll be reading, so after each meeting, I’ll propose three novels for folks to vote on. These will be available to vote on (using reactions) in both Minasunda’s MOULa Events Discord and Isa’s URU Community Movies and Games Discord. There will be brief blurbs for each provided there as well.
    (02/01 13:44:12) Augur: I’d ask that everyone only vote in one of the two places, for fairness’ sake. But! Please do vote for ALL books you are interested in, not just your favorite of the three. If you’re interested in all three, vote for them all!
    (02/01 13:44:36) Augur: I’ll be making an effort to not duplicate “niches” between bi-months. If sword-and-sorcery is selected for one month, none of the three options the next will be sword-and-sorcery, to prevent us from falling into a more specific niche than “speculative fiction”.
    (02/01 13:44:53) Augur: And don’t despair if a beloved book isn’t chosen! November’s choices will be all of those not picked from the list throughout the year, to give every book a second chance.
    (02/01 13:45:11) Augur: As our first meeting will be during Women’s History Month, I’ve put together a selection of speculative fiction novels written by women to celebrate. ๐Ÿ™‚
    (02/01 13:45:25) Augur: So, without further ado, our first three novel options are…
    (02/01 13:45:31) Augur: The Invisible Life of Addie Larue by V.E. Schwab
    (02/01 13:45:38) Augur: One of Our Kind by Nicola Yoon
    (02/01 13:45:44) Augur: Severance by Ling Ma
    (02/01 13:46:24) Claidi Song: Just saw a reference to Severance
    (02/01 13:46:32) Augur: Please feel free to reach out on Discord with any questions. You can find me as “augurdog” there. ๐Ÿ™‚ Or you are welcome to send me KI mail or messages here. I’ll be around for a bit after the town hall to chat.
    (02/01 13:46:45) Augur: Thank you again to everyone who has so graciously welcomed me into the cavern and I look forward to seeing y’all March 15th!

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. ๐Ÿ™‚

    January 2025 All Guilds Meeting Summary

    Here is the summary for theย 177th All Guilds Meeting, moderated by Claidi Song, along with theย rawย andย cleansedย chatlogs!

    Contents

    1. Hosting Events
    2. OpenUru
    3. Mysterium
    4. Events in the Cavern
    5. D’ni Language Classes
    6. R’Tayrtahn’s Story Nights
    7. Miscellanea

    Hosting Events

    Claidi Song relayed a message from Minasunda, pointing out that special events โ€“ e.g. annual festivities like Christmas, New Year’s Eve, Halloween, etc, or the opening of a new Age, or community anniversaries like MOULa’s opening or Myst’s release โ€“ should take priority over weekly or monthly events.

    It would be reasonable for hosts to negotiate skipping or postponing their events on those particular occasions, or at least accept that another event will take place at the same time. Unfortunately that does not always happen without hosts getting offended.

    After dealing with such situations for many years, Minasunda has announced she no longer feel able to organize or coordinate these special events. She will still do the daily announcements.

    OpenUru

    โ˜› Tweek announced a Rapid Age Development contest is planned to be held in February; more details will be announced soon. The theme will be a Pod Age; participants will be assigned a basic pod shell file (for Blender or 3ds Max). Entries will not need to be MOULa-ready, but at least working on the Destiny shard.

    As with previous editions, the intention is to encourage potential builders with a challenge with specific limits in size and time. Tre’bivdil and the Vothol Gallery were originally built for similar contests. It will be up to each builder if and on which shards to submit these Ages for release.

    Mysterium

    โ˜› The 2025 edition of the convention will be held on August 1โ€“3ย in Atlanta, GA. The writing and artwork table is open for submissions until July 15.

    โ˜› Theย Creativity Prompt for Januaryโ€“February is โ€œRime โ€ (in any sense), the deadline is February 28. Entries for the โ€œHearthโ€ prompt for Novemberโ€“December were from Calum Travelerย and Talashar.

    Events in the Cavern

    โ˜› IwonK will host a Wonky Talk (on her Twitch channel) on Friday 17ย at 15:00 KIT in the Guild of Cookies’ Hood by the heek table. This month’s topic will be “Racing Games“. Feel free to suggest interesting games she could talk (and draw) about. As always, there will be cookies!

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

    โ˜› Every Tuesday, Ereshkigal is hosting an Ancient Storiesย 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.

    Recently, they have finished the tale of Bagoas and the tragic life of Alexander the Great. They have now started an ancient Egyptian ghost story, written two thousand years ago and involving magic, court intrigue and mummies.

    โ˜›ย Babbel will celebrate her birthday on Monday 6 at 13:00 KITย in Kirel, with non-classic music. She will also host her regular classical music program in the Hall of Kings in Ae’gura, on Monday 20ย at 12:00 KIT. The theme for this month is yet undecided at the time of this post.

    โ˜› Vittorio Brunetti (Korov’ev) announced the release of episode 16 of The Lost Art, “The Growers, a machinima series by MystiTech Productions set in the Cavern, a few years in the future.

    โ˜› A memorial for explorer Bella, who recently passed away, will be held on January 10 at 15:00 KIT, in the Ae’gura plaza. Requests or memories can be sent to Isa via KImail (#11584648) or Discord (isa.2167).

    โ˜› 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 Dโ€™ni Language Classes and one for the Story Nights.

    Visitors are asked toย notย post pellet pointsย into the hood imager: one of his former students and a close friend,ย 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.

    Dโ€™ni Language Classes schedule (click to expand)
    • Those who would like to attend the lessons should contact Rehn, preferably onย Discordย (r’Tayrtahn#1317), or via KImail (KI# 80428). Be sure to include yourย KI number, so that Rehn can send you a reply!
    • Theย Guild of Instructors’ Hoodย will be open and public unless a class is in session. Classes are individual.
    • Daytime openings are onย Mondayย to Friday, atย 10:00,ย 11:00ย orย 12:00 KIT, depending on the studentโ€™s schedule.
    • Evening openings are on Mondayย to Friday, atย 20:00,ย 21:00ย orย 22:00 KIT, depending on the studentโ€™s schedule.
    • Daytime availability is subject to change with little or no notice.ย Last-minute changesย to class times will be announced viaย Magic Botย (KI #27527) orย Mimi Botย (KI #71459); to be notified, add both as buddies, then PM them “advert”.

    R’Tayrtahn’s Story Nights

    Story Night Europeย andย Original Story Night will continue this month with the stories of the 26th king, Yableshan, and his successors Emen and Me’emen. There will be no story on Saturday 11, due to family obligations.

    Eventually they will cover all of the books and games, as well as the three human attempts at the restoration of D’ni. As this year the holidays fall mid-week, there will be stories for the entire month of December.

    Rโ€™Tayrtahn records videos of the sessions (via an avatar named “I’m a bot, do not message”), that he will eventually upload to his YouTube channel.ย Be careful if you PM r’Tay or the bot during the events, as messages will be visible in the videos ๐Ÿ˜‰

    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 ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Story Nights schedule (click to expand)
    • Story Nights are held inย Tsahno’s Hood every Saturday, gathering at the fountain at around 23:00 KIT, with the story starting at aboutย 23:30 KIT.
    • Forย Story Nights โ€“ Europe, the gatherings are on Saturday starting at 13:30 KIT, with the story starting at aboutย 14:00 KIT.
    • Onย All Guilds Meetingย days, the event will begin atย 14:00 KITย orย 30 minutes afterย the meeting, whichever is later.
    • The stories are told usingย voice chat, so you will need to have your speakers, headphones or KI devices on. If you would like a reminder, please send r’Tayrtahn (KI# 58324) a KImailย with your KI number includedย in the text, so that he can add you to his buddies list.

    Miscellanea

    โ˜› The Fan Age Expeditions in Deep Island will kickstart the year exploring the Cathedral by DenDwaler. They will then investigate the mysteries of Alabaster by Dulcamara. Closing the month, or perhaps starting February, they will then begin the adventure in Laki’anay by the New Age Project.


    And that was it for this month. Please considerย donatingย to keep the Cavern open!

    The next All Guilds Meeting is planned forย Saturday, February 1st, 2025ย (Leevosahn 25) atย 13:00ย KIT.

    (01/04 13:04:41) *Jodok* wants to ask a question…

    (01/04 13:04:48) Claidi Song: no problem you gave a good demo of asking question sitting down

    (01/04 13:16:52) Kayara recommends that Emor D’ni Lap watch the “documentary” then. It’s good! ๐Ÿ˜‰

    (01/04 13:19:39) Prad: still undecided if I will participate. depends on real life. most likely I will – being still an age builder beginner might turn out funny how far I can get – having creative ideas in mind already …

    (01/04 13:21:26) Calum Traveler: we’re not looking for MOULa ready at the contest’s conclusion, last i was aware,

    (01/04 13:21:58) Prad: Destiny registration required if you haven’t already as participant …

    (01/04 13:24:20) Claidi Song: ~~~~~~~~~~ Message From Minasunda ~~~~~~~~~~~

    (01/04 13:24:23) Claidi Song: “My dear MOULa friends,”

    (01/04 13:24:31) Claidi Song: “We now have such a full calendar that there is hardly a free day to fit in a special event without stepping on someone’s toes.”

    (01/04 13:24:47) Claidi Song: “An annual event that is tied to a specific date such as Christmas, New Year’s Eve, Halloween, St. Patrick’s Day, D’ni New Year or even an opening of a new age or the MOULa Anniversary should take priority over a weekly event. But that’s just my

    (01/04 13:25:02) Claidi Song: opinion

    (01/04 13:25:13) Claidi Song: “You would think that it would be no problem for a host to forgo their weekly event once every 6 years or, at least, accept that another event takes place at the same time.”

    (01/04 13:25:21) Claidi Song: “But unfortunately that doesn’t work without someone getting angry or offended. I’m tired of having to deal with it every time. That’s why I no longer feel able to organize or coordinate these events.”

    (01/04 13:25:42) Claidi Song: “I would like to say a big thank you to the hosts who always reacted flexibly and with understanding for the situation and supported me.”

    (01/04 13:25:54) uru348 is sad

    (01/04 13:25:58) Calum Traveler: ๐Ÿ™

    (01/04 13:25:59) Claidi Song: “I will be happy to continue to do the announcements. Please. remember that from now on I am only the messenger and not the organizer.”

    (01/04 13:26:00) *Jodok* is sad

    (01/04 13:26:02) shokhootahn Rehn: ๐Ÿ™

    (01/04 13:26:11) Dreamer3 is sad

    (01/04 13:26:18) Claidi Song: Mina has dedicated a phenomenal amount of time planning and organizing Special Events: Christmas, New Year’s Eve, Halloween, St. Patrick’s Day, D’ni New Year and the MOULa Anniversary!!! These events involved additional time coordinating with Mir-o-Bot, Mirphak, Magic Yoda and Mister Magic’s bots.

    (01/04 13:26:20) Daniel452 is sad

    (01/04 13:26:39) Claidi Song: These events will continue as others step up to share their creative efforts with the community!

    (01/04 13:26:46) Claidi Song: Let’s give a huge shout out to Mina thanking her for her immeasurable gift of RL time to the MOULa community.

    (01/04 13:26:46) Emor D’ni Lap applauds Minasunda’s phenomenal service to the Cavern

    (01/04 13:26:52) Daniel452 thanks all concerned for their tireless efforts.#

    (01/04 13:26:58) Calum Traveler: hip hip hooray!

    (01/04 13:27:11) *Jodok*: thank you so much mina ๐Ÿ˜€

    (01/04 13:27:21) Kayara: cheer cheer cheer!

    (01/04 13:27:23) Dreamer3: So glad Mina is still doing announcements. : – )

    (01/04 13:27:26) Ereshkigal: It does work better if we organise the events together as a group, I think. It is way too much for one person to do alone

    (01/04 13:27:28) rarified claps for Mina

    (01/04 13:27:35) Calum Traveler: speaking personally as a former event organizer, sometimes you do have to step away when you’re doing it solo,

    (01/04 13:27:52) Calum Traveler: it can be a thankless task, but i think everyone here can appreciate everything minasunda has done!

    (01/04 13:28:08) Prad: I hope someone will at least overtake the organization of NULP dance shows … these are still exceptionally created by Minasunda to my knowing …

    (01/04 13:28:09) Anatheia: Fantastic job from Mina! So much time, effort and energy has gone into the planning, organization and presentation of each event. Thank You Minasunda!!!!

    (01/04 13:28:17) rarified: For sure… And I hope there will be more volunters soon.

    (01/04 13:28:17) Claidi Song: I have faith in the community to keep Special Events going ๐Ÿ™‚

    (01/04 13:28:22) Emrai: It is a demanding job, many thanks to all who have pitched in to handle things.

    (01/04 13:28:23) shokhootahn Rehn: Exactly,Calum!

    (01/04 13:28:31) philipgr: Mina has done a phenominal job organizing the evenst

    (01/04 13:28:41) Dah’mpa: Deep thanks to Mina

    (01/04 13:28:50) Ereshkigal: I can help if someone helps me with the bots! I can do a Holi or Diwali show

    (01/04 13:29:12) Claidi Song: ~~~~~~~~~~ D’ni Language Class and Story Night ~~~~~~~~~~

    (01/04 13:29:18) Claidi Song beckons you

    (01/04 13:29:19) Claidi Song: shokhootahn Rehn, the stage is yours!

    (01/04 13:29:21) rarified: We also need to help keep civil discourse with organizers!

    (01/04 13:29:32) Finders: 1

    (01/04 13:29:43) shokhootahn Rehn: As always, I have two separate announcements. One is for the D’ni Language Class and the other one is for r’Tayrtahn’s Story Night.

    (01/04 13:29:48) shokhootahn Rehn: First, the language classes…

    (01/04 13:30:11) shokhootahn Rehn: There are evening classes available on weekday evenings Monday through Friday starting at 20:00, 21:00 or 22:00 KI time, depending on the student’s schedule.

    (01/04 13:30:23) 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.

    (01/04 13:30:39) shokhootahn Rehn: All classes are Monday through Friday, only. There are no weekend classes available.

    (01/04 13:30:47) shokhootahn Rehn: If you are going to contact me by KI-mail, please remember to include your KI #.

    (01/04 13:31:00) shokhootahn Rehn: As always, current students can find last-minute updates to class times on the left-hand imager

    (01/04 13:31:33) shokhootahn Rehn: The Guild of Instructors’ Hood will be open and public unless a class is in session.

    (01/04 13:31:40) shokhootahn Rehn: I have one request for visitors: Please do not post pellet points into the Hood imager…

    (01/04 13:31:54) shokhootahn Rehn: Are there any questions?

    (01/04 13:31:58) Claidi Song: No questions in the queue

    (01/04 13:32:06) shokhootahn Rehn: Moving on…

    (01/04 13:32:12) shokhootahn Rehn: The second announcement is about r’Taytahn’s Story Night.

    (01/04 13:32:26) shokhootahn Rehn: Tonight, we will continue with the stories of the kings with the 26th king, King Yableshan. The rest of the month we’ll talk about Kings Emen, Me’emen.

    (01/04 13:32:41) shokhootahn Rehn: There weill be no story next Saturday, the 11th, due to family obligations.

    (01/04 13:33:00) shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night covers the entire 10,000-year history of the D’ni plus all of the books and games, as well as the three human attempts at the restoration of D’ni!

    (01/04 13:33:27) 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. ๐Ÿ˜‰ Also, please do NOT add him as a buddy. He has no special abilities and is there only to record Story Night.

    (01/04 13:33:39) shokhootahn Rehn: The channel is current through February 27, 2021. Unfortunaterly, surface life this past month has prevented me from making any headway.

    (01/04 13:33:46) shokhootahn Rehn: This coming week, I will have March 6, 2021 ready to go.

    (01/04 13:33:53) shokhootahn Rehn: Like I said, I have a backlog to work through!

    (01/04 13:34:13) 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. ๐Ÿ™‚

    (01/04 13:34:17) shokhootahn Rehn: Let me know if you would like to see any additional translations.

    (01/04 13:34:31) shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night is held in the public neighborhood of Tsahno’s Hood every Saturday.

    (01/04 13:34:39) shokhootahn Rehn: Original Story Night is held at 23:30 KI time on Saturday night. We start gathering at the hood’s fountain starting at 23:00 KI time.

    (01/04 13:34:56) 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.

    (01/04 13:35:27) shokhootahn Rehn: Today’s story will begin about 14:30 KI ๐Ÿ™‚

    (01/04 13:35:35) shokhootahn Rehn: I also post changes on the left-hand imager in the hood.

    (01/04 13:35:44) 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. ๐Ÿ™‚

    (01/04 13:35:59) shokhootahn Rehn: Minasunda is one of those members, as she runs the announcements channel on Discord.

    (01/04 13:36:06) shokhootahn Rehn: The stories are told using voice so you will need to have your speakers or headsets on.

    (01/04 13:36:18) 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. ๐Ÿ™‚

    (01/04 13:37:11) shokhootahn Rehn: We hope to see you there!

    (01/04 13:37:13) shokhootahn Rehn: Any questions?

    (01/04 13:37:20) Claidi Song: No questions in the queue

    (01/04 13:40:16) Claidi Song: ~~~~~~~~~~ Open Discussion ~~~~~~~~~~

    (01/04 13:40:26) Calum Traveler: because it’s the 16th episode of The Lost Art?

    (01/04 13:40:36) Prad: lol

    (01/04 13:40:58) Kayara: Dreamer3: It’s the premier of episode 16. There have been other episodes with premieres before that ๐Ÿ™‚

    (01/04 13:41:05) Claidi Song: Since we have a few minutes, I’m opening up the next 15 for discussion. Please, before asking a question or making a statement, stand and type

    (01/04 13:41:08) Dreamer3: Ah, thanks : – )

    (01/04 13:41:24) Vittorio Brunetti: unfortunately we were a bit tied with the timing ourselves

    (01/04 13:41:27) IwonK passes around open cookies

    (01/04 13:41:30) Calum Traveler: id just like to say something in light of Mina’s announcement earlier,

    (01/04 13:41:32) Prad: the premiere of the 16th episode, not the premiere of the whole series …

    (01/04 13:41:39) Claidi Song: the /askquestion.qRaised hands will make it easier for me to call on you and keep things moving.

    (01/04 13:41:45) Calum Traveler nods to Claidi and smiles

    (01/04 13:41:52) Calum Traveler: running events and organizing things is a really hard task

    (01/04 13:41:59) Calum Traveler: some of you remember that I ran Heritage Night many years ago,

    (01/04 13:42:11) Dreamer3 has an open cookie and observes all boundaries melting away

    (01/04 13:42:19) Calum Traveler: id like to give my thanks to Minasunda and Claidi for the work theyve been doing for their specific events,

    (01/04 13:42:47) Calum Traveler: and id also like to give my thanks to everyone running their own events as well. there are so many i’d be here too long listing them all

    (01/04 13:43:15) Calum Traveler: for what its worth, running events are hard and it can feel like it’s something you have to standup for when you’re faced with an event conflict,

    (01/04 13:43:32) Calum Traveler: it’s hard, to coordinate events and make sure nobodys stepping on anyones toes.

    (01/04 13:43:46) rarified: And you (usually) have a life outside MOUL…

    (01/04 13:43:52) Calum Traveler: but yeah. everyone who runs an event has an uneviable job,

    (01/04 13:44:02) Claidi Song: Yeah, there is that pesky RL happening all the time

    (01/04 13:44:07) Calum Traveler: please give your local event coordinator a hug next time you see them

    (01/04 13:44:12) Calum Traveler leans right

    (01/04 13:44:12) Emrai: Both you and Claidi have done a wonderful job; it’s really hard.

    (01/04 13:44:13) Emor D’ni Lap: I’m sure we all understand and sympathize with Minasunda’s feelings

    (01/04 13:44:15) Claidi Song leans left

    (01/04 13:44:51) Calum Traveler: i dont really have anything else to say

    (01/04 13:44:58) Prad: even if you planned an event well real life can hit in hard sometimes …

    (01/04 13:44:59) Daniel452 absolutely agrees with that ๐Ÿ™‚

    (01/04 13:44:59) IwonK: I do: cookies!

    (01/04 13:45:04) Augur: It really is a feat and shows great dedication that so many have regular events here in the cavern. Thank you to all who coordinate and provide these times to socialize and enjoy company. ๐Ÿ™‚

    (01/04 13:45:04) Calum Traveler: indeed, prad.

    (01/04 13:45:06) Claidi Song: She couldn’t be here today because of the birthday party of a RL grandchild. Mor than worth missing AGM for

    (01/04 13:45:12) Calum Traveler: indeed

    (01/04 13:45:24) Claidi Song: Thank you Cal

    (01/04 13:45:27) Emrai: I’m curious about the CAVCON numbers

    (01/04 13:45:30) rarified thanks Calum Traveler

    (01/04 13:45:39) Claidi Song: Anything anyone else has to talk about?

    (01/04 13:45:53) *Jodok* announces

    (01/04 13:45:59) Claidi Song: Latest CavCon funding update is November 2024;

    (01/04 13:46:37) jtrigg: What is the Us Dollar value?

    (01/04 13:46:47) *Jodok*: I fully understand Mina’s decision and I would like to thank everyone that does events

    (01/04 13:46:48) Calum Traveler: even i dont know that jtrigg XD

    (01/04 13:46:51) Claidi Song says DOH!

    (01/04 13:46:51) Claidi Song: I’m not good at typing

    (01/04 13:47:04) Claidi Song starts to laugh

    (01/04 13:47:06) jtrigg: Would be good tohave an idea

    (01/04 13:47:13) *Jodok*: there are also events outside Moula, e.g DI and TOC

    (01/04 13:47:19) Cpt.Jericho: You’re getting one US$ for 100 US Cents.

    (01/04 13:47:28) *Jodok*: it is really hard to not step on others toes

    (01/04 13:47:29) RedUhuru: lol

    (01/04 13:47:29) jtrigg: Ha !

    (01/04 13:47:30) Emor D’ni Lap: jtrigg: Cyan has never divulged $$$ figures for CAVCON

    (01/04 13:47:30) Prad: lol

    (01/04 13:47:35) Dreamer3: Cavcon funds are only negotiable in Explorer’s Emporium

    (01/04 13:47:40) Night-Tripper: 1 US=1.43 CDN

    (01/04 13:47:41) Claidi Song: Those who know the US dollar value don’t have enough to do lol

    (01/04 13:47:57) *Jodok*: i am sad that mina gives up but as mentioned I understand it completely…

    (01/04 13:48:01) *Jodok*: thnks

    (01/04 13:48:05) jtrigg: Nobody likes a SA ! lol

    (01/04 13:48:07) rarified: $1 US = 1000 S&H Trading Stamps. (this dates me!)

    (01/04 13:48:10) Calum Traveler: indeed, part of the reason frequent story events are so hard to pull off is coordinating between other people’s events, *and* real life.

    (01/04 13:48:21) Claidi Song: Anyone else?

    (01/04 13:48:36) Prad: maybe this month having something spare to donate … not much steam games on my tobuy list and nothing else really urging …

    (01/04 13:48:38) Calum Traveler: only other thing i have to say is real life often sucks. lmao.

    (01/04 13:48:52) Calum Traveler: but sometimes it is good.

    (01/04 13:49:05) RedUhuru: I have vaguely heard about that thing.

    (01/04 13:49:08) rarified: Being here counts as RL too Calum Traveler

    (01/04 13:49:08) Calum Traveler: sometimes we all need breaks away from a place,

    (01/04 13:49:10) Claidi Song: The alternative to RL is . . . not great :)))

    (01/04 13:49:15) Emrai: We’re under 3.0 – donate if you can.:)

    (01/04 13:49:27) Calum Traveler: mmh, true, rarified

    (01/04 13:17:23) Tweek: The contest is open to anyone, if you’re an established builder or if you’re new to Age building and you want to dip your toes. Everyone can participate.

    (01/04 13:24:23) Claidi Song: “My dear MOULa friends,”
    (01/04 13:24:31) Claidi Song: “We now have such a full calendar that there is hardly a free day to fit in a special event without stepping on someone’s toes.”
    (01/04 13:24:47) Claidi Song: “An annual event that is tied to a specific date such as Christmas, New Year’s Eve, Halloween, St. Patrick’s Day, D’ni New Year or even an opening of a new age or the MOULa Anniversary should take priority over a weekly event. But that’s just my
    (01/04 13:25:02) Claidi Song: opinion
    (01/04 13:25:13) Claidi Song: “You would think that it would be no problem for a host to forgo their weekly event once every 6 years or, at least, accept that another event takes place at the same time.”
    (01/04 13:25:21) Claidi Song: “But unfortunately that doesn’t work without someone getting angry or offended. I’m tired of having to deal with it every time. That’s why I no longer feel able to organize or coordinate these events.”
    (01/04 13:25:42) Claidi Song: “I would like to say a big thank you to the hosts who always reacted flexibly and with understanding for the situation and supported me.”

    (01/04 13:26:11) Dreamer3 is sad
    (01/04 13:26:18) Claidi Song: Mina has dedicated a phenomenal amount of time planning and organizing Special Events: Christmas, New Year’s Eve, Halloween, St. Patrick’s Day, D’ni New Year and the MOULa Anniversary!!! These events involved additional time coordinating with Mir-o-Bot, Mirphak, Magic Yoda and Mister Magic’s bots.
    (01/04 13:26:20) Daniel452 is sad
    (01/04 13:26:39) Claidi Song: These events will continue as others step up to share their creative efforts with the community!
    (01/04 13:26:46) Claidi Song claps her hands
    (01/04 13:26:46) Claidi Song: Let’s give a huge shout out to Mina thanking her for her immeasurable gift of RL time to the MOULa community.

    (01/04 13:27:52) Calum Traveler: it can be a thankless task, but i think everyone here can appreciate everything minasunda has done!
    (01/04 13:28:08) Prad: I hope someone will at least overtake the organization of NULP dance shows … these are still exceptionally created by Minasunda to my knowing …

    (01/04 13:29:43) RedUhuru claps his hands
    (01/04 13:29:48) shokhootahn Rehn: First, the language classes…
    (01/04 13:30:11) shokhootahn Rehn: There are evening classes available on weekday evenings Monday through Friday starting at 20:00, 21:00 or 22:00 KI time, depending on the student’s schedule.
    (01/04 13:30:23) 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.
    (01/04 13:30:39) shokhootahn Rehn: All classes are Monday through Friday, only. There are no weekend classes available.
    (01/04 13:30:47) shokhootahn Rehn: If you are going to contact me by KI-mail, please remember to include your KI #.
    (01/04 13:31:00) shokhootahn Rehn: As always, current students can find last-minute updates to class times on the left-hand imager
    (01/04 13:31:33) shokhootahn Rehn: The Guild of Instructors’ Hood will be open and public unless a class is in session.
    (01/04 13:31:40) shokhootahn Rehn: I have one request for visitors: Please do not post pellet points into the Hood imager…
    (01/04 13:31:54) shokhootahn Rehn: Are there any questions?
    (01/04 13:31:58) Claidi Song: No questions in the queue
    (01/04 13:32:06) shokhootahn Rehn: Moving on…
    (01/04 13:32:12) shokhootahn Rehn: The second announcement is about r’Taytahn’s Story Night.
    (01/04 13:32:12) SkipfordJ claps his hands
    (01/04 13:32:26) shokhootahn Rehn: Tonight, we will continue with the stories of the kings with the 26th king, King Yableshan. The rest of the month we’ll talk about Kings Emen, Me’emen.
    (01/04 13:32:41) shokhootahn Rehn: There weill be no story next Saturday, the 11th, due to family obligations.
    (01/04 13:33:00) shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night covers the entire 10,000-year history of the D’ni plus all of the books and games, as well as the three human attempts at the restoration of D’ni!
    (01/04 13:33:27) 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. ๐Ÿ˜‰ Also, please do NOT add him as a buddy. He has no special abilities and is there only to record Story Night.
    (01/04 13:33:39) shokhootahn Rehn: The channel is current through February 27, 2021. Unfortunaterly, surface life this past month has prevented me from making any headway.
    (01/04 13:33:46) shokhootahn Rehn: This coming week, I will have March 6, 2021 ready to go.
    (01/04 13:33:53) shokhootahn Rehn: Like I said, I have a backlog to work through!
    (01/04 13:34:13) 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. ๐Ÿ™‚
    (01/04 13:34:17) shokhootahn Rehn: Let me know if you would like to see any additional translations.
    (01/04 13:34:31) shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night is held in the public neighborhood of Tsahno’s Hood every Saturday.
    (01/04 13:34:39) shokhootahn Rehn: Original Story Night is held at 23:30 KI time on Saturday night. We start gathering at the hood’s fountain starting at 23:00 KI time.
    (01/04 13:34:56) 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.
    (01/04 13:35:27) shokhootahn Rehn: Today’s story will begin about 14:30 KI ๐Ÿ™‚
    (01/04 13:35:35) shokhootahn Rehn: I also post changes on the left-hand imager in the hood.
    (01/04 13:35:44) 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. ๐Ÿ™‚
    (01/04 13:35:59) shokhootahn Rehn: Minasunda is one of those members, as she runs the announcements channel on Discord.
    (01/04 13:36:06) shokhootahn Rehn: The stories are told using voice so you will need to have your speakers or headsets on.
    (01/04 13:36:18) 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. ๐Ÿ™‚
    (01/04 13:37:11) shokhootahn Rehn: We hope to see you there!
    (01/04 13:37:13) shokhootahn Rehn: Any questions?

    December 2024 All Guilds Meeting Summary

    Here is the summary for theย 176th All Guilds Meeting, moderated by Claidi Song, along with theย rawย andย cleansedย chatlogs!

    Contents

    1. Explorer Memorial
    2. OpenUru
    3. Mysterium
    4. Events in the Cavern
    5. D’ni Language Classes
    6. R’Tayrtahn’s Story Nights

    Explorer memorial

    The meeting began with the sad news of the passing of explorer Bella, impromptu DJ during nightly gatherings in the hoods and Ae’gura, playing requests for anyone listening.

    A memorial will be held on January 10 at 15:00 KIT, in the Ae’gura plaza. Requests or memories can be sent to Isa via KImail (#11584648) or Discord (isa.2167).

    OpenUru

    โ˜› Calum Traveler thanked those who attended the opening of the Explorers’ Emporium on Friday 6. The pipeline for the next update is already opened, but nothing new has been added yet, aside from a list of minor bugs to fix.

    โ˜› With the latest update, D’ni fairytales can now be found and read around Elonin, to enjoy a bit of what the D’ni might have read at bedtime or in their free time.

    โ˜› Claidi interviewed Semjay about the Emporium and about her story in the Myst community. She confirmed that there is no Relto page available in the Emporium, and that no public instance is planned; most likely, Mir-o-Bot will provide one.

    We will soon post an extended dedicated post with the interview.

    โ˜› A Rapid Age Development contest could be tentatively be held on January. As with previous editions, the intention is to encourage potential builders with a challenge with specific limits in size and time; entries will not need to be MOULa-ready. Tre’bivdil and the Vothol Gallery were originally built for similar contests. This time the proposed theme would be a Pod Age; participants will be assigned a basic pod shell file (for Blender or 3ds Max).

    Mysterium

    โ˜› The 2025 edition of the convention will be held on August 1โ€“3. The writing and artwork table is open for submissions, until July 15.

    โ˜› Theย Creativity Prompt forย Novemberโ€“December is โ€œHearthโ€, the deadline is December 31. Entries for the โ€œFallingโ€ prompt forย Septemberโ€“October were from Calum Traveler, Bastiko,ย Talashar, Rahshahth.

    Events in the Cavern

    โ˜› Korovโ€™ev made a quick announcement about the Fan Ages Expeditions he is hosting on the Deep Island shard, every Sunday at 11:00 KIT. They are currently mid-way through the large, industrial Age of Elsewhere, by Denost.

    However, to celebrate the opening of the Explorers’ Emporium, on Sunday 8 they will take a detour to Zahlto (aka the Emporium) and to Terahgram. Semjay’s later Ages, Tovaht and Ahreesen Melin, will be the subject of future expeditions.

    โ˜› IwonK will host a Wonky Talk (on her Twitch channel) on Friday 20ย at 15:00 KIT in the Guild of Cookies’ Hood by the heek table. This month’s topic will be “Christmas“. Feel free to suggest interesting games she could talk (and draw) about. As always, there will be cookies!

    IwonK is also making some games of her own as a year-long gamedev challenge; you can find them at her itch.io page. Moreover, she recently got accepted at a local university, studying Game Design!

    โ˜› On Monday 2, Skyisblu capped off the year with a recipe for a Christmas-inspired Victoria sponge cake, to honor the grand opening of the Explorers’ Emporium. The Cooking Sessions are on the first Monday of the month at 12:00 KIT, via Twitch, in the Guild of Caterers’ Hood; the next show will be on February 3. You can find past recipes and recordings at Skyisblu’s blog and YouTube channel.

    โ˜›ย Babbel will host her next classical music program in the Hall of Kings in Ae’gura, on Monday 16ย at 12:00 KIT. The theme this month is “Christmas Requests“.

    โ˜› Every Tuesday, Ereshkigal is hosting an Ancient Storiesย event at 11:30 KIT in Fahets Highgarden, reading (via stream) folktales, translated ancient texts, historical fiction from all over the ancient world, as well as the occasional historical-inspired fan fiction, and also a collection of D’ni fairytales Ereshkigal wrote as a kickoff event.

    โ˜› 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 Dโ€™ni Language Classes and one for the Story Nights.

    Visitors are asked toย notย post pellet pointsย into the hood imager: one of his former students and a close friend,ย 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.

    Dโ€™ni Language Classes schedule (click to expand)
    • Those who would like to attend the lessons should contact Rehn, preferably onย Discordย (r’Tayrtahn#1317), or via KImail (KI# 80428). Be sure to include yourย KI number, so that Rehn can send you a reply!
    • Theย Guild of Instructors’ Hoodย will be open and public unless a class is in session. Classes are individual.
    • Daytime openings are onย Mondayย to Friday, atย 10:00,ย 11:00ย orย 12:00 KIT, depending on the studentโ€™s schedule.
    • Evening openings are onย Monday,ย Tuesday,ย Thursdayย andย Friday, atย 20:00,ย 21:00ย orย 22:00 KIT, depending on the studentโ€™s schedule.
    • Daytime availability is subject to change with little or no notice.ย Last-minute changesย to class times will be announced viaย Magic Botย (KI #27527) orย Mimi Botย (KI #71459); to be notified, add both as buddies, then PM them “advert”.

    R’Tayrtahn’s Story Nights

    Story Night Europeย andย Original Story Night will, for rest of the month, retell the stories of king Ji, Dimahth and Yahbleshahn. Eventually they will cover all of the books and games, as well as the three human attempts at the restoration of D’ni. As this year the holidays fall mid-week, there will be stories for the entire month of December.

    Rโ€™Tayrtahn records videos of the sessions (via an avatar named “I’m a bot, do not message”), that he will eventually upload to his YouTube channel.ย Be careful if you PM r’Tay or the bot during the events, as messages will be visible in the videos ๐Ÿ˜‰

    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 ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Story Nights schedule (click to expand)
    • Story Nights are held inย Tsahno’s Hood every Saturday, gathering at the fountain at around 23:00 KIT, with the story starting at aboutย 23:30 KIT.
    • Forย Story Nights โ€“ Europe, the gatherings are on Saturday starting at 13:30 KIT, with the story starting at aboutย 14:00 KIT.
    • Onย All Guilds Meetingย days, the event will begin atย 14:00 KITย orย 30 minutes afterย the meeting, whichever is later.
    • The stories are told usingย voice chat, so you will need to have your speakers, headphones or KI devices on. If you would like a reminder, please send r’Tayrtahn (KI# 58324) a KImailย with your KI number includedย in the text, so that he can add you to his buddies list.

    And that was it for this month. Please considerย donatingย to keep the Cavern open!

    The next All Guilds Meeting is planned forย Saturday, January 4, 2025ย (Leevosahn 3) atย 13:00ย KIT.

    Happy New Year!

    (12/07 13:09:14) Calum Traveler: sorry eddie

    (12/07 13:09:21) Dreamer3: Behave, Eddie!

    (12/07 13:09:25) Claidi Song: Eddie, sit still

    (12/07 13:09:34) shokhootahn Rehn: lol

    (12/07 13:09:38) Calum Traveler: first off, I’d like to say: Thank You to everyone who came to the Emporium’s release yesterday

    (12/07 13:09:52) rarified: Great event.

    (12/07 13:09:59) *Jodok* nods his head

    (12/07 13:10:01) shokhootahn Rehn: indeed

    (12/07 13:10:03) Calum Traveler: we had a few mild KI-Chat bugs where some private DMs wound up dropped to age chat, and one annoying line jumper, but… beyond those OOC annoyances,

    (12/07 13:10:07) Dreamer3: : – )

    (12/07 13:10:15) Calum Traveler: The IC release went as smoothly as possible!

    (12/07 13:10:15) Claidi Song: Wonderful new age!

    (12/07 13:10:20) rarified: Did you ever catch them?

    (12/07 13:10:28) Calum Traveler: i know who, but he’s a known troll, rarified

    (12/07 13:10:35) Calum Traveler: i wont benefit his name for being publicized.

    (12/07 13:10:44) Calum Traveler: its attention he wants. im not gonna give him the recognition he wnats.

    (12/07 13:10:49) Maurus nods

    (12/07 13:10:57) Dreamer3: Dang right

    (12/07 13:11:08) *Jodok* applause

    (12/07 13:11:26) rarified: Always something unpleasant in a cavern.

    (12/07 13:11:37) Calum Traveler: id also like to say that the OOC technical side of the release went by absolutely smoothly as well

    (12/07 13:11:41) Emrai: The Emporium is really well done. Kudos.

    (12/07 13:11:42) Claidi Song: Not usually

    (12/07 13:11:46) Calum Traveler: so on all fronts, we had a very successful release!

    (12/07 13:11:56) jtrigg: A Grue most likely

    (12/07 13:12:24) Calum Traveler: i’d like to also say, thanks for being patient with us for the very long wait for the update,

    (12/07 13:12:36) Calum Traveler: i hope everyones been enjoying it,

    (12/07 13:12:48) jtrigg thumbs up

    (12/07 13:12:51) Calum Traveler: although, i am aware of a few minor bugs that slipped past us, i’m happy to report nothing game breaking made it in

    (12/07 13:13:17) Calum Traveler: just a few minor visual gaffs and some collisions that need to be adjusted to be kickables only, I think ๐Ÿ˜‰

    (12/07 13:13:42) rarified thanks Calum Traveler for cataloging the issues

    (12/07 13:14:06) Calum Traveler: all that said, the next quarter for the update has been opened, though nothing new has been pushed through *quite* yet, we are working on a few things that will probably come up in the new year

    (12/07 13:14:25) Calum Traveler: for example, a few folks, such as myself and Tweek, are hoping to hold our first RAPID AGE DEVELOPMENT contest in January!

    (12/07 13:14:37) Beachy: Where is everyone

    (12/07 13:14:53) Beachy: Nvm I see

    (12/07 13:14:57) Calum Traveler: the theme will be “Pod Age,” where we will provide aspiring age developers with a Pod Shell file either for .blender or .3dsmax,

    (12/07 13:15:32) Calum Traveler: we’re not looking for anything MOULa ready, just a fun little way to spend some time.

    (12/07 13:15:52) rarified: … and encourage new artists!

    (12/07 13:15:56) Calum Traveler: the idea is to have folks who might want to dip their toes into age creation have a project they can work on!

    (12/07 13:16:19) Calum Traveler: more information will be announced at a later date.

    (12/07 13:16:28) Beachy: I am way too busy but I played around with blender a bit as a kid

    (12/07 13:16:32) Calum Traveler: speaking of Dates!

    (12/07 13:16:34) Calum Traveler: MYSTERIUM!

    (12/07 13:16:46) Calum Traveler: you’re probably aware already, but incase you missed it

    (12/07 13:16:58) Calum Traveler: the dates for the 2025 Mysterium is AUGUST 1st Through 3rd

    (12/07 13:17:32) Calum Traveler: the writing and artwork table is open for submissions as well

    (12/07 13:17:45) Calum Traveler: they will be accepting submissions until JULY 15TH

    (12/07 13:18:13) Calum Traveler: finally, the current Mysterium Creativity Prompt theme is “Hearth” and will be accepting submissions until the end of December.

    (12/07 13:18:25) Calum Traveler checks KI for the time…

    (12/07 13:18:38) Calum Traveler: right then, I think that’s it for me

    (12/07 13:18:40) Calum Traveler: any questions?

    (12/07 13:18:57) Edua shrugs

    (12/07 13:19:02) fayers leans left

    (12/07 13:19:11) Claidi Song: No questions in the queue

    (12/07 13:19:20) Calum Traveler: right then! I hope everyone has a happy December, and Happy Holidays!

    (12/07 13:19:24) Calum Traveler bows

    (12/07 13:19:29) Claidi Song: Thank you, Cal, the Mysterium report and much more!

    (12/07 13:19:36) Calum Traveler: yw

    (12/07 13:19:38) Claidi Song: ~~~~~~~~~ Explorer’s Emporium ~~~~~~~~~

    (12/07 13:19:39) rarified looks forward to skiing in Serenne

    (12/07 13:19:44) Claidi Song: In case anyone is unaware, there is a newly opened fan created Age here in MOULa.

    (12/07 13:19:56) Claidi Song: We are very fortunate that the creator of “Explorers’ Emporium!” with us today to talk about creating her URU Ages.

    (12/07 13:19:57) jtrigg: i’ll be sitting on the beach, having a few coldies

    (12/07 13:20:02) Claidi Song beckons you

    (12/07 13:20:02) Claidi Song: Welcome to the platform, Semjay!

    (12/07 13:20:02) Dreamer3: Woot woot ! !

    (12/07 13:20:22) *Jodok* aplause

    (12/07 13:20:24) Claidi Song: Of course, there will be No Spoilers in the discussion.

    (12/07 13:20:30) Claidi Song: I’m sure there will be questions for Semjay. To prevent total chaos:

    (12/07 13:20:36) Claidi Song: Do Not put any questions in the public AGE PLAYERS chat.

    (12/07 13:20:43) Claidi Song: Please, DM non-spoilery questions ave for Semjay to me. I will present all questions in the Q&A at the end of this interview.

    (12/07 13:20:49) Claidi Song: Briefly stated questions, please.

    (12/07 13:20:56) Claidi Song: Thank you very much for being here today, Semjay!

    (12/07 13:21:06) Claidi Song: Starting off, Semjay,when and how did you discover MOULa?

    (12/07 13:21:15) jtrigg: Nicely done Semjay

    (12/07 13:21:19) Semjay: Thank you for having me, Claidi.

    (12/07 13:21:36) Semjay: I played URU CC when it came out but couldn’t enter MOULa because we didn’t have the internet at home then. I missed all the “live” events and joined much later after the game restarted online.

    (12/07 13:21:48) Claidi Song: What is your background in creating 3D environments?

    (12/07 13:22:05) Semjay: My background is in the creative arts. I have no experience in computing, coding or 3D modelling – I am just an enthusiastic amateur.

    (12/07 13:22:26) Claidi Song: When did you begin creating URU Ages?

    (12/07 13:22:40) Semjay: 2015

    (12/07 13:23:03) Claidi Song: You already have several Ages in the Deep Island shard. Including the age we know as “Explorers’ Emporium”. Please, tell us about those Ages and what the inspiration was for each of them.

    (12/07 13:23:17) Semjay: Terahgrahm was my first attempt at Age-building. It was inspired by an Egyptian Temple dnd map. It’s a sandbox Age where I tried out different things. But I wanted to share it with others. Making it an URU Age was the perfect way to do this. But I do not intend bring this to MOULa.

    (12/07 13:24:42) Semjay: Sorry, please wait

    (12/07 13:26:08) Semjay: Zahlto is the early version of Explorers Emporium.

    (12/07 13:26:21) Semjay: I overheard someone complaining that there were no shops in the Cavern so I decided to make that the starting point.

    (12/07 13:26:45) Semjay: But, the shop itself is merely the “tutorial” area for the rest of the adventure. I had to make quite a few changes and compromises to make it suitable for multi-players in MOULa.

    (12/07 13:27:00) Semjay: The version on Deep Island is how it was intended – as a single player experience.

    (12/07 13:27:41) Semjay: Tovaht and Ahreesen Melim came next and are available to play on Deep Island. They both have the same puzzle that I “dressed up” differently. I am hoping that I can convert one or both of them for inclusion to MOULa soon…

    (12/07 13:28:04) Calum Traveler is looking forwards to testing days…

    (12/07 13:28:08) Claidi Song: Sounds wonderful!

    (12/07 13:28:14) Claidi Song: Another of your ages is here in MOULa, as well as in Deep Island. Tell us about “Kalamee”, please.

    (12/07 13:28:35) Dreamer3 nods his head

    (12/07 13:28:46) Semjay: Kalamee is an Age from Cyan’s “Intangibles” collection of unfinished Ages.

    (12/07 13:29:23) Semjay: There are actually two Kalamees :a long, linear valley and the small, q-shaped cwm that I finished off. At the time, I knew that someone else was working on the linear valley so I took the small one.

    (12/07 13:29:50) Semjay: There is lots of concept art and documents about the linear valley and I was careful not to include anything from them in my version of Kalamee.

    (12/07 13:30:05) Prad: I remember the long linear from some concept art design documents …

    (12/07 13:30:18) Semjay: This meant that I was able to go my own way with it, put in my own story and puzzles.

    (12/07 13:30:26) Yali: I remember a big tortoise shell like hut structure

    (12/07 13:30:51) Semjay: In fact, I took the model and deleted about 80 percent of it and rebuilt it! The only things remaining that were made by Cyan are the lumpy hills, the pointy obelisks, the crumpety trees, the DRC landing pad and the animals.

    (12/07 13:31:32) Claidi Song: That is a lot of work! A major element of Cyan’s games is environmental storytelling. You are exceptional at creating environments that tell their story without need for explanations. How do you design the details of your environments to tell their story? What are the challenges in crafting environmental storytelling?

    (12/07 13:32:14) Semjay: For me, the story is always character driven – put someone in a strange environment and see what happens. I like to keep things a bit vague, for example, my characters Sam and Pip – are they male or female? Friends? Lovers? Have they ever actually met? (They seem to communicate via post-it notes!) U R U so YOU decide. I am also mindful of people who play the game but don’t speak English at home so I try to have as little written text as possible and keep it visual if I can.

    (12/07 13:33:31) Claidi Song: You also incorporate puzzles in the environment that flow naturally with the story throughout the Age. How do you go about building puzzles into an Age that fits into and carries the storyline?

    (12/07 13:33:41) Semjay: I create it in reverse. I think about the ending and then work out how the player will get there. What things will interrupt their journey? What will they need to know to get there?

    (12/07 13:33:59) Claidi Song: Explorers’ Emporium has just opened here in the MOULa shard. I want to note that it will also soon be added to The Open Cave (TOC) shard which is now updated to the same version as MOULa. What was most challenging about preparing Explorers’ Emporium for MOULa?

    (12/07 13:34:36) *Jodok*: it was added today (sorry for interruption)

    (12/07 13:34:50) Semjay: Testing was tough! The testers’ first loyalty is to the game (of course) and they want it to be the best it possibly can. But they insisted that certain things were changed or removed and that was quite hard emotionally.

    (12/07 13:35:09) Semjay: The most challenging thing was making it suitable for more than one player. The main puzzle had to be completely redesigned, while keeping it as close to the original as possible. This is because it was possible for your mischievous friend to lock a door, leave the game never to return, and you’d be unable to finish the puzzle.

    (12/07 13:35:35) Claidi Song starts to laugh

    (12/07 13:35:35) Claidi Song: I suspect we all have such ‘mischievous friends’ around.

    (12/07 13:35:47) Claidi Song: Alright, time for Questions: Please, DM me your questions ๐Ÿ™‚

    (12/07 13:35:52) Claidi Song: Sestra sent her question to me earlier because she could not come to AGM: “Semjay, is there a new Relto Page in the Explorers’ Emporium? I saw Ella’s checklist included ordering them.”

    (12/07 13:36:04) Semjay: No

    (12/07 13:36:58) Prad: there is a method to graphically illustrate nonlinear puzzles to figure out ‘deadlock’ paths …

    (12/07 13:36:58) Claidi Song: Q from oops I lost the name. Can the NW corner of room in basement be accessed?

    (12/07 13:37:29) Semjay: The “red” room is closed for the moment.

    (12/07 13:37:52) Maurus raises an eyebrow

    (12/07 13:37:59) Claidi Song: Q from oops I lost the name. Can the NW corner of room in basement be accessed?

    (12/07 13:38:06) Calum Traveler: repeated q >>;

    (12/07 13:38:21) Claidi Song: Q from Caver 1: Can we have permission to explore past the No Entry Private sign?

    (12/07 13:38:28) Edua is a bit puzzled…

    (12/07 13:38:45) Semjay: U R U so you decide!

    (12/07 13:38:54) Calum Traveler: some very polite explorers here, hehe.

    (12/07 13:39:31) Claidi Song: Q from Quill: Is there any chance that there will someday be a public instance of the Emporium? A public 9-5 store would be fun. What was kept in the cages? Footprints a bit bear-like ๐Ÿ™‚

    (12/07 13:39:33) Maurus recalls the hint Yeesha gave about Gahreesen

    (12/07 13:39:40) Dreamer3: Woody Guthrie said he saw a sign that said no trespassing, but on the other side it didn’t say anything

    (12/07 13:39:50) fayers: Will we be able to get new KI band and Tshirts soon

    (12/07 13:40:00) Beachy: Nice reference Dreqmer

    (12/07 13:40:06) Claidi Song: Hold on everyone

    (12/07 13:40:06) Beachy: Dreamer

    (12/07 13:40:31) Claidi Song: Q from Philipgr: Whate is “cwm”?

    (12/07 13:40:43) Semjay: The old version (called Zahlto) will remain on Deep Island.

    (12/07 13:41:38) Semjay: A cwm (pronounced coom) is the head of a glaciated valley.

    (12/07 13:41:50) neurovac: a ‘cwm’ is Welsh for a type of valley

    (12/07 13:42:05) Claidi Song: Rarified: My card we rejected

    (12/07 13:42:14) Claidi Song: What can I do?

    (12/07 13:43:02) Claidi Song: Maybe you shouldn’t use a Monoply card

    (12/07 13:43:10) shokhootahn Rehn roars with laughter

    (12/07 13:43:12) rarified: ๐Ÿ˜›

    (12/07 13:43:16) *Jodok* starts to laugh

    (12/07 13:43:32) jtrigg: Go to jail, go directly to jail ……..

    (12/07 13:43:34) Dreamer3: lol

    (12/07 13:43:39) Claidi Song: Q from Cid: Wax there an answer to Quill’s question about a public instance?

    (12/07 13:43:47) shokhootahn Rehn hands rarified a pradnureetee

    (12/07 13:44:01) Claidi Song: *Was

    (12/07 13:44:06) Prad: c’glaciated valley’ reminds on another project in the making (according to a mysterium panel): Venalem.

    (12/07 13:44:15) Semjay: You can share your book.

    (12/07 13:44:38) Claidi Song: Yes, and there will be Mir-o-Bot for events

    (12/07 13:44:54) Claidi Song: Alright, 2 questions more, anyone?

    (12/07 13:45:32) caver1: Trespassing is wrong. I will avoid trespassing.

    (12/07 13:45:37) Calum Traveler: not a Q, but id just like to say, good job on the work, Semjay. ๐Ÿ™‚

    (12/07 13:45:51) Thumbs up from Karel

    (12/07 13:45:52) Maurus: hear hear

    (12/07 13:45:53) Semjay: Thank you!

    (12/07 13:46:00) LividLiquid: Agreed!

    (12/07 13:46:01) Calum Traveler: working things out for Co-Op is hard, but it was well worth it ๐Ÿ™‚

    (12/07 13:46:01) Claidi Song: Q: future relto page?

    (12/07 13:46:10) Korov’ev: and good job on getting rid of the spiders ๐Ÿ˜‰

    (12/07 13:46:10) Claidi Song: Thank you so much, Semjay, for sharing your ages with us here in MOULa. Your time, creativity and effort is truly appreciated! Thankyou for sharing this insight into what is involved in your creation process. We are looking forward to your future fan age contributions.

    (12/07 13:46:14) Cave woman: I assumed that aince the door is open we can enter

    (12/07 13:46:16) Claidi Song: Everyone who hasn’t had a chance to explore Semjay’s newest age, Explorer’s Emporium, I guarantee you will love it. And also it is well worth exploring Semjay’s Deep Island ages !

    (12/07 13:46:21) Claidi Song: Thank you again, Semjay!

    (12/07 13:46:32) rarified: It is sharable, right?

    (12/07 13:46:36) Claidi Song: ~~~~~~~~~~ Deep Island Expedition ~~~~~~~~~~

    (12/07 13:47:31) Dreamer3: Shor, Kor : – )

    (12/07 13:47:45) Korov’ev: (incidentally, I was trying to paste text DI-style)

    (12/07 13:47:58) Korov’ev says DOH!

    (12/07 13:47:59) jtrigg: i have been unable to access Deep Island

    (12/07 13:47:59) Claidi Song: ๐Ÿ™‚

    (12/07 13:48:05) Korov’ev: We are currently mid-way through the large, industrial Age of Elsewhere, by Denost. However…

    (12/07 13:48:18) Korov’ev: to celebrate the opening of the Explorers’ Emporium, tomorrow we’ll take a detour to Zahlto and to Terahgram!

    (12/07 13:48:27) Thumbs up from Korov’ev

    (12/07 13:48:27) Korov’ev: And hopefully Semjay will also be there ๐Ÿ™‚

    (12/07 13:48:50) Korov’ev: As for Tovaht and Ahreesen Melin, they will be the subject of future expedition.

    (12/07 13:48:59) Korov’ev: As usual, we’ll start in the shard’s only hood (which you can reach quickly by typing “/hood”).

    (12/07 13:49:08) Korov’ev: You can find more info and guidelines at https://forum.guildofwriters.org/viewtopic.php?f=111&t=7140

    (12/07 13:49:18) Korov’ev: And that’s all I got!

    (12/07 13:49:28) Korov’ev bows

    (12/07 13:49:28) Korov’ev: Back to my seat!

    (12/07 13:49:53) jtrigg: My attempts to get access ahve repeatedly fallen on deaf ears

    (12/07 13:49:57) Calum Traveler: roll on’

    (12/07 13:54:39) Claidi Song beckons you

    (12/07 13:54:39) Claidi Song: shokhootahn Rehn, the stage is yours!

    (12/07 13:54:42) Edua is a bit puzzled…

    (12/07 13:55:09) shokhootahn Rehn: As always, I have two separate announcements. One is for the D’ni Language Class and the other one is for r’Tayrtahn’s Story Night.

    (12/07 13:55:14) shokhootahn Rehn: First, the language classes…

    (12/07 13:55:19) shokhootahn Rehn: There are evening classes available on weekday evenings Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday starting at 20:00, 21:00 or 22:00 KI time, depending on the student’s schedule.

    (12/07 13:55:32) 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.

    (12/07 13:56:24) shokhootahn Rehn: As I’ve said, before, one of my former students, Yutiel, is listed on that imager. I have refrained from posting pellets to maintain her name at the top as a form of memorial. It’s why I haven’t posted pellet points above 168345: it was to keep her name at the top of the list.

    (12/07 13:56:31) shokhootahn Rehn: Are there any questions?

    (12/07 13:56:54) shokhootahn Rehn: Moving on…

    (12/07 13:20:36) Claidi Song: Do Not put any questions in the public AGE PLAYERS chat.
    (12/07 13:20:43) Claidi Song: Please, DM non-spoilery questions ave for Semjay to me. I will present all questions in the Q&A at the end of this interview.
    (12/07 13:20:49) Claidi Song: Briefly stated questions, please.
    (12/07 13:20:50) IwonK claps her hands
    (12/07 13:20:56) Claidi Song: Thank you very much for being here today, Semjay!
    (12/07 13:21:06) Claidi Song: Starting off, Semjay,when and how did you discover MOULa?
    (12/07 13:21:15) jtrigg: Nicely done Semjay
    (12/07 13:21:19) Semjay: Thank you for having me, Claidi.
    (12/07 13:21:36) Semjay: I played URU CC when it came out but couldn't enter MOULa because we didn't have the internet at home then. I missed all the "live" events and joined much later after the game restarted online.
    (12/07 13:21:48) Claidi Song: What is your background in creating 3D environments?
    (12/07 13:22:05) Semjay: My background is in the creative arts. I have no experience in computing, coding or 3D modelling – I am just an enthusiastic amateur.
    (12/07 13:22:26) Claidi Song: When did you begin creating URU Ages?
    (12/07 13:22:40) Semjay: 2015
    (12/07 13:23:03) Claidi Song: You already have several Ages in the Deep Island shard. Including the age we know as "Explorers' Emporium". Please, tell us about those Ages and what the inspiration was for each of them.
    (12/07 13:23:17) Semjay: Terahgrahm was my first attempt at Age-building. It was inspired by an Egyptian Temple dnd map. It's a sandbox Age where I tried out different things. But I wanted to share it with others. Making it an URU Age was the perfect way to do this. But I do not intend bring this to MOULa.
    (12/07 13:24:42) Semjay: Sorry, please wait
    (12/07 13:26:08) Semjay: Zahlto is the early version of Explorers Emporium.
    (12/07 13:26:21) Semjay: I overheard someone complaining that there were no shops in the Cavern so I decided to make that the starting point.
    (12/07 13:26:45) Semjay: But, the shop itself is merely the "tutorial" area for the rest of the adventure. I had to make quite a few changes and compromises to make it suitable for multi-players in MOULa.
    (12/07 13:27:00) Semjay: The version on Deep Island is how it was intended – as a single player experience.
    (12/07 13:27:41) Semjay: Tovaht and Ahreesen Melim came next and are available to play on Deep Island. They both have the same puzzle that I "dressed up" differently. I am hoping that I can convert one or both of them for inclusion to MOULa soon…
    (12/07 13:28:04) Calum Traveler is looking forwards to testing days…
    (12/07 13:28:08) Claidi Song: Sounds wonderful!
    (12/07 13:28:14) Claidi Song: Another of your ages is here in MOULa, as well as in Deep Island. Tell us about "Kalamee", please.
    (12/07 13:28:24) Emrai claps his hands
    (12/07 13:28:35) Dreamer3 nods his head
    (12/07 13:28:46) Semjay: Kalamee is an Age from Cyan's "Intangibles" collection of unfinished Ages.
    (12/07 13:29:23) Semjay: There are actually two Kalamees :a long, linear valley and the small, q-shaped cwm that I finished off. At the time, I knew that someone else was working on the linear valley so I took the small one.
    (12/07 13:29:50) Semjay: There is lots of concept art and documents about the linear valley and I was careful not to include anything from them in my version of Kalamee.
    (12/07 13:30:05) Prad: I remember the long linear from some concept art design documents …
    (12/07 13:30:18) Semjay: This meant that I was able to go my own way with it, put in my own story and puzzles.
    (12/07 13:30:26) Yali: I remember a big tortoise shell like hut structure
    (12/07 13:30:51) Semjay: In fact, I took the model and deleted about 80 percent of it and rebuilt it! The only things remaining that were made by Cyan are the lumpy hills, the pointy obelisks, the crumpety trees, the DRC landing pad and the animals.
    (12/07 13:31:32) Claidi Song: That is a lot of work! A major element of Cyan's games is environmental storytelling. You are exceptional at creating environments that tell their story without need for explanations. How do you design the details of your environments to tell their story? What are the challenges in crafting environmental storytelling?
    (12/07 13:32:14) Semjay: For me, the story is always character driven – put someone in a strange environment and see what happens. I like to keep things a bit vague, for example, my characters Sam and Pip – are they male or female? Friends? Lovers? Have they ever actually met? (They seem to communicate via post-it notes!) U R U so YOU decide. I am also mindful of people who play the game but don't speak English at home so I try to have as little written text as possible and keep it visual if I can.
    (12/07 13:33:31) Claidi Song: You also incorporate puzzles in the environment that flow naturally with the story throughout the Age. How do you go about building puzzles into an Age that fits into and carries the storyline?
    (12/07 13:33:41) Semjay: I create it in reverse. I think about the ending and then work out how the player will get there. What things will interrupt their journey? What will they need to know to get there?
    (12/07 13:33:59) Claidi Song: Explorers' Emporium has just opened here in the MOULa shard. I want to note that it will also soon be added to The Open Cave (TOC) shard which is now updated to the same version as MOULa. What was most challenging about preparing Explorers' Emporium for MOULa?
    (12/07 13:34:36) *Jodok*: it was added today (sorry for interruption)
    (12/07 13:34:50) Semjay: Testing was tough! The testers' first loyalty is to the game (of course) and they want it to be the best it possibly can. But they insisted that certain things were changed or removed and that was quite hard emotionally.
    (12/07 13:35:09) Semjay: The most challenging thing was making it suitable for more than one player. The main puzzle had to be completely redesigned, while keeping it as close to the original as possible. This is because it was possible for your mischievous friend to lock a door, leave the game never to return, and you'd be unable to finish the puzzle.
    (12/07 13:35:35) Claidi Song starts to laugh
    (12/07 13:35:35) Claidi Song: I suspect we all have such 'mischievous friends' around.
    (12/07 13:35:47) Claidi Song: Alright, time for Questions: Please, DM me your questions ๐Ÿ™‚
    (12/07 13:35:52) Claidi Song: Sestra sent her question to me earlier because she could not come to AGM: "Semjay, is there a new Relto Page in the Explorers' Emporium? I saw Ella's checklist included ordering them."
    (12/07 13:36:04) Semjay: No
    (12/07 13:36:58) Prad: there is a method to graphically illustrate nonlinear puzzles to figure out 'deadlock' paths …
    (12/07 13:36:58) Claidi Song: Q from oops I lost the name. Can the NW corner of room in basement be accessed?
    (12/07 13:37:29) Semjay: The "red" room is closed for the moment.
    (12/07 13:37:52) Maurus raises an eyebrow
    (12/07 13:37:59) Claidi Song: Q from oops I lost the name. Can the NW corner of room in basement be accessed?
    (12/07 13:38:06) Calum Traveler: repeated q >>;
    (12/07 13:38:21) Claidi Song: Q from Caver 1: Can we have permission to explore past the No Entry Private sign?
    (12/07 13:38:28) Edua is a bit puzzled…
    (12/07 13:38:45) Semjay: U R U so you decide!
    (12/07 13:38:54) Calum Traveler: some very polite explorers here, hehe.
    (12/07 13:39:31) Claidi Song: Q from Quill: Is there any chance that there will someday be a public instance of the Emporium? A public 9-5 store would be fun. What was kept in the cages? Footprints a bit bear-like ๐Ÿ™‚
    (12/07 13:39:33) Maurus recalls the hint Yeesha gave about Gahreesen
    (12/07 13:39:40) Dreamer3: Woody Guthrie said he saw a sign that said no trespassing, but on the other side it didn't say anything
    (12/07 13:39:50) fayers: Will we be able to get new KI band and Tshirts soon
    (12/07 13:40:00) Beachy: Nice reference Dreqmer
    (12/07 13:40:06) Claidi Song: Hold on everyone
    (12/07 13:40:06) Beachy: Dreamer
    (12/07 13:40:31) Claidi Song: Q from Philipgr: Whate is "cwm"?
    (12/07 13:40:43) Semjay: The old version (called Zahlto) will remain on Deep Island.
    (12/07 13:41:38) Semjay: A cwm (pronounced coom) is the head of a glaciated valley.
    (12/07 13:41:50) neurovac: a 'cwm' is Welsh for a type of valley
    (12/07 13:42:05) Claidi Song: Rarified: My card we rejected
    (12/07 13:42:14) Claidi Song: What can I do?
    (12/07 13:43:02) Claidi Song: Maybe you shouldn't use a Monoply card

    (12/07 13:43:34) Dreamer3: lol
    (12/07 13:43:39) Claidi Song: Q from Cid: Wax there an answer to Quill's question about a public instance?
    (12/07 13:43:47) shokhootahn Rehn hands rarified a pradnureetee
    (12/07 13:44:01) Claidi Song: *Was
    (12/07 13:44:06) Prad: c'glaciated valley' reminds on another project in the making (according to a mysterium panel): Venalem.
    (12/07 13:44:15) Semjay: You can share your book.
    (12/07 13:44:38) Claidi Song: Yes, and there will be Mir-o-Bot for events
    (12/07 13:44:54) Claidi Song: Alright, 2 questions more, anyone?
    (12/07 13:45:32) caver1: Trespassing is wrong. I will avoid trespassing.
    (12/07 13:45:37) Calum Traveler: not a Q, but id just like to say, good job on the work, Semjay. ๐Ÿ™‚

    D’ni Language Classes

    Shokhootahn Rehn had two updates, one for the Dโ€™ni Language Classes and one for the Story Nights.

    Visitors are asked toย notย post pellet pointsย into the hood imager: one of his former students and a close friend,ย Yutiel Yoshi, who passed away in 2018, is listed there. He has refrained from posting pellets to maintain her name at the top, as a form of memorial.

    More about the Dโ€™ni Language Classes
    • Those who would like to attend the lessons should contact Rehn, preferably onย Discordย (r’Tayrtahn#1317), or via KImail (KI# 80428). Be sure to include yourย KI number, so that Rehn can send you a reply!
    • Theย Guild of Instructors’ Hoodย will be open and public unless a class is in session. Classes are individual.
    • Daytime openings are onย Monday,ย Tuesday,ย Thursdayย andย Friday, atย 10:00,ย 11:00ย orย 12:00 KIT, depending on the studentโ€™s schedule.
    • Evening openings are onย Monday,ย Tuesday,ย Thursdayย andย Friday, atย 20:00,ย 21:00ย orย 22:00 KIT, depending on the studentโ€™s schedule.
    • Daytime availability is subject to change with little or no notice.ย Last-minute changesย to class times will be announced viaย Magic Botย (KI #27527) orย Mimi Botย (KI #71459); to be notified, add both as buddies, then PM them “advert”.

    R’Tayrtahn’s Story Nights

    Story Night Europeย andย Original Story Night cover the stories of all of the Myst books and games, as well as the three human attempts at the restoration of D’ni.

    Rโ€™Tayrtahn records videos of the sessions (via an avatar named “I’m a bot, do not message”), that he will eventually upload to his YouTube channel.ย Be carefulย if you PM r’Tay or the bot during the events, as messages will be visible in the videos ๐Ÿ˜‰ The channel is current through February 20, 2021.

    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 ๐Ÿ˜‰

    More about the Story Nights
    • Story Nights are held inย Tsahno’s Hood every Saturday, gathering at the fountain at around 23:00 KIT, with the story starting at aboutย 23:30 KIT.
    • Forย Story Nights โ€“ Europe, the gatherings are on Saturday starting at 13:30 KIT, with the story starting at aboutย 14:00 KIT.
    • Onย All Guilds Meetingย days, the event will begin atย 14:00 KITย orย 30 minutes afterย the meeting, whichever is later.
    • The stories are told usingย voice chat, so you will need to have your speakers, headphones or KI devices on. If you would like a reminder, please send r’Tayrtahn (KI# 58324) a KImailย with your KI number includedย in the text, so that he can add you to his buddies list.

    Miscellanea

    โ˜› At the end of October, Cyan announced a big update to the VR remake of Myst! The main highlight is the upgrade from Unreal Engine 4 to Unreal Engine 5, which solved a number of stability issues on various platforms.

    โ˜› Episode 16 of The Lost Art, by MystiTech Productions, is coming on January 4, 2025 at 14:30 KIT. The premiere live chat will as usual start half an hour before.

    โ˜› In November, the Fan Age Expeditions in Deep Island will explore Elsewhere by Denost, the third chapter in his series about Gary Bradwell after Somewhere and Iceworld. This is a large Age with a complex series of puzzles, so it will take the whole month to complete it.


    And that was it for this month. Please considerย donatingย to keep the Cavern open!

    The next All Guilds Meeting is planned forย Saturday, December 7ย (Leevobro 10) atย 13:00ย KIT.

    Until then!

    (11/02 13:09:12) rarified: Pass me another, please.

    (11/02 13:09:14) Calum Traveler coughs and scuffs the left shoe against the floor

    (11/02 13:09:24) Calum Traveler: anyways, uh, yeah. brace yourselves! new stuff incoming!

    (11/02 13:09:27) Dreamer3: Ivvonk can make bug cookies

    (11/02 13:09:31) rarified: CT has gone beyond this cycle.

    (11/02 13:09:47) Calum Traveler: i think ive practically half managed arranging everything >>;

    (11/02 13:10:02) Calum Traveler: that’s not a position i envy on anyone…

    (11/02 13:10:11) Calum Traveler: right then, that’s enough from me,

    (11/02 13:10:15) rarified: It’s still a *good* update.

    (11/02 13:10:17) Calum Traveler: as they said in Jurassic Park,

    (11/02 13:10:19) *Jodok* wants to ask a question…

    (11/02 13:10:20) Calum Traveler: Hold onto your butts.

    (11/02 13:10:25) Calum Traveler: …yes, Jodok?

    (11/02 13:11:12) Calum Traveler: uh, i dont understand github much but id assume yes?

    (11/02 13:11:13) Calum Traveler shrugs

    (11/02 13:11:22) Calum Traveler: atleast for the OU git repo

    (11/02 13:11:27) Calum Traveler: not sure about the HURU repo…

    (11/02 13:11:36) *Jodok*: I ask because TOC’s new update is based on git files

    (11/02 13:11:40) Calum Traveler: that’s a whole other kettle of fish im hoping we can address in the next year.

    (11/02 13:11:49) rarified: The MOULa files are always (and yes currently) on the OpenUru repositories

    (11/02 13:12:02) *Jodok*: so maybe we can update TOC too when THE update is up

    (11/02 13:12:12) rarified: The GoW repositories usually track content updated for their newer client.

    (11/02 13:12:20) Maurus: OU’s Repo but probably not on H’uru, yeah (or may only be in pieces on H’uru; there’s a narrower set of requirements for what gets accepted over there compared to OU)

    (11/02 13:12:32) Calum Traveler: id assume that yall can pull whatever you want for other shards from the main repos once theyre committed to master.

    (11/02 13:12:39) *Jodok*: yes Filtik takes the files from OpenUru and H’uru git

    (11/02 13:12:40) Calum Traveler: that’s kinda the point, yeah?

    (11/02 13:12:43) rarified: The newer client will be (SoonSooner(tm)) be the MOULa client.

    (11/02 13:13:00) *Jodok*: thank you CT

    (11/02 13:13:02) Calum Traveler: anyways, yeah, lots of stuff on our todo list for the next year.

    (11/02 13:13:06) Robert Holt waves hello

    (11/02 13:13:07) Calum Traveler: hold onto your cones…

    (11/02 13:13:24) rarified: stack them cones!

    (11/02 13:13:27) Dreamer3 cradles cone protectively

    (11/02 13:13:30) Calum Traveler: …also, if anyone has any paint remover, we’d like some for one ot the GoMePub cones.

    (11/02 13:13:30) Calum Traveler: that’s it for me

    (11/02 13:13:30) Calum Traveler waves goodbye

    (11/02 13:11:22) Calum Traveler: atleast for the OU git repo
    (11/02 13:11:27) Calum Traveler: not sure about the HURU repo…
    (11/02 13:11:36) *Jodok*: I ask because TOC's new update is based on git files
    (11/02 13:11:40) Calum Traveler: that's a whole other kettle of fish im hoping we can address in the next year.
    (11/02 13:11:49) rarified: The MOULa files are always (and yes currently) on the OpenUru repositories
    (11/02 13:12:02) *Jodok*: so maybe we can update TOC too when THE update is up
    (11/02 13:12:12) rarified: The GoW repositories usually track content updated for their newer client.
    (11/02 13:12:20) Maurus: OU's Repo but probably not on H'uru, yeah (or may only be in pieces on H'uru; there's a narrower set of requirements for what gets accepted over there compared to OU)
    (11/02 13:12:32) Calum Traveler: id assume that yall can pull whatever you want for other shards from the main repos once theyre committed to master.
    (11/02 13:12:39) *Jodok*: yes Filtik takes the files from OpenUru and H'uru git
    (11/02 13:12:40) Calum Traveler: that's kinda the point, yeah?
    (11/02 13:12:43) rarified: The newer client will be (SoonSooner(tm)) be the MOULa client.
    (11/02 13:13:00) *Jodok*: thank you CT
    (11/02 13:13:02) Calum Traveler: anyways, yeah, lots of stuff on our todo list for the next year.
