(04/04 13:13:39) Brooketh: The Competitive Myst Online group cordially invites all cavern dwellers to our weekly social Ahyoheek game night, every Saturday at 21 KI in the Competitive Myst Online Hood. Ahyoheek is a D’ni game very similar to Paper-Rock-Scissors.

(04/04 13:13:58) Brooketh: We are a friendly, social group of Ahyoheek enthusiasts, far less “competitive” than our name would imply. We aim for a relaxed, casual hour of playing and conversation that is fun for all. We welcome you regardless of skill level. If you don’t know how to play, we can quickly teach you; or you may simply wish to hang out and observe.

(04/04 13:14:09) Brooketh: We use a combination of voice and text chat. You don’t need to use a mic, but you should at least have sound enabled so you can hear us.

(04/04 13:14:17) Brooketh: We do hope to see you there!

(04/04 13:14:25) Brooketh: Any questions?

(04/04 13:14:35) PodHopper: no questions in queue

(04/04 13:14:39) Brooketh bows

(04/04 13:17:15) ScottMiller: I need help getting DI to work. Have it installed but id won’t load. Any help would be appreicatedf!

(04/04 13:17:28) Korov’ev: Where we’ll go on the 26th in TOC isn’t pinned down, since the cycle there is concluded. I think we’ll start by going back to the City of Dimensions 🙂

(04/04 13:18:13) *Jodok*: some nice additions wait there 😉

(04/04 13:18:26) Korov’ev: The expeditions are on Sunday at 11:00 KIT, starting in Deep Island’s only hood (“/hood”), and in the Fan Ages Touring Club’s Hood in the Open Cave.

(04/04 13:19:25) Korov’ev: Throubleshooting DI via chat is tricky, can’t do that now 😉

(04/04 13:20:08) ScottMiller: Oops! mean Ro! Sorry about that!

(04/04 13:20:09) PodHopper: nothing else?

(04/04 13:20:09) Korov’ev: Ural, ask OpenUru, not me 😉

(04/04 13:20:23) Korov’ev bows

(04/04 13:20:23) Korov’ev: Back to my seat then!

(04/04 13:20:28) PodHopper: Thank you, Korov’ev!

(04/04 13:23:43) shokhootahn Rehn: I have one request for visitors: Please do not post pellet points into the Hood imager.

(04/04 13:23:56) shokhootahn Rehn: Are there any questions?

(04/04 13:24:02) PodHopper: No questions in queue

(04/04 13:24:15) shokhootahn Rehn: Moving on…

(04/04 13:24:24) shokhootahn Rehn: The second announcement is about r’Taytahn’s Story Night.

(04/04 13:24:39) shokhootahn Rehn: Today, we will tell the eighth and final story (#82 of 104) from the novel, Myst: The Book of D’ni!

(04/04 13:24:51) shokhootahn Rehn: Eventually, we cover all of the books and games, as well as the three human attempts at restoration.

(04/04 13:25:07) shokhootahn Rehn: Next week, April 11th, we will begin the story from the game, Myst III: Exile.

(04/04 13:25:21) shokhootahn Rehn: There will be no story on Saturday, April 25th, due to family obligations.

(04/04 13:25:36) 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!

(04/04 13:26:03) 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.

(04/04 13:26:50) 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.

(04/04 13:27:08) shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night – Europe is held at 14:00 KI time on Saturday afternoon. We start gathering at the hood’s fountain starting at 13:30 KI time except for AGM Saturdays, when it starts at 14:30 KI or 30 minutes after the AGM, whichever is later.

(04/04 13:27:31) shokhootahn Rehn: Lately, it’s been starting at 14:30 on AGM Saturdays. 🙂

(04/04 13:27:44) shokhootahn Rehn: I also post changes on the left-hand imager in the hood.

(04/04 13:27:50) 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. 🙂

(04/04 13:28:06) shokhootahn Rehn: Minasunda is one of those members, as she runs the announcements channel on Discord.

(04/04 13:28:17) shokhootahn Rehn: The stories are told using voice so you will need to have your speakers or headsets on.

(04/04 13:28:31) 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. 🙂

(04/04 13:28:56) shokhootahn Rehn: We hope to see you there!

(04/04 13:29:01) shokhootahn Rehn: Any questions?

(04/04 13:29:07) PodHopper: No questions in queue

(04/04 13:36:06) IwonK: they suck, Shiloh

(04/04 13:36:16) Calum Traveler: i need to do some final checks once Tweek is done with his checks,

(04/04 13:36:28) Prad: Danger, vaccum.

(04/04 13:36:28) Calum Traveler: but i believe that old marker missions should still be playable,

(04/04 13:36:58) ShilohOBrien: I should hope so, IwonK. that’s kind of their job. 😛

(04/04 13:37:04) Calum Traveler: as far as Nexus access, we’re still looking into activating the nexus terminals, but there’s been some small hiccups in that regard,

(04/04 13:37:39) Calum Traveler: for example, the rest area tomahn we’re familiar with- its nexus terminal seems to have trouble registering the proper location and will either give you the right one or a completely wrong location,

(04/04 13:38:00) Calum Traveler: that feature, if it cant be sorted out, will likely be left disabled on phase 1 release.

(04/04 13:38:51) Calum Traveler: im looking into the possibility of sourcing one of the old Maintainer prototype Nexus facilities that isn’t being used for Descent use specifically

(04/04 13:39:54) Calum Traveler: ill also be hopefully getting some new signs in for GoMePub and Chiso Preniv, after some questions ive had regarding management

(04/04 13:40:15) Calum Traveler: i believe you all know the story by now, but for those who dont, to ease those questions, ill be adding “Under New Management” signs,

(04/04 13:40:25) Calum Traveler: that’s all i have for now

(04/04 13:40:27) Calum Traveler: any questions

(04/04 13:40:31) Mevvah: a comment please

(04/04 13:40:33) PodHopper: I have 1 question from Ro: will the new descent be private or public

(04/04 13:41:01) Mevvah yields until pod’s question is answered

(04/04 13:41:01) Calum Traveler: @Ro: How can I control whether yeesha or the bahro intervene with how you access the site?

(04/04 13:41:32) Calum Traveler: i plan on having the access point through Chiso Preniv being public access, but i cant stop yall with using your City Books to access hood instances.

(04/04 13:41:43) Prad: I think the descent public/private/whatsoever has been actively discussed on OpenUru recently …

(04/04 13:41:47) Ro”Jethhe thanks you

(04/04 13:42:02) PodHopper: No other questions in queue

(04/04 13:42:08) Mevvah: may I

(04/04 13:42:13) Calum Traveler: Mevvah yesw

(04/04 13:42:13) PodHopper: yes

(04/04 13:42:14) Calum Traveler: go ahead

(04/04 13:42:40) Korov’ev: Someone bring Eddie, let’s see if it reaches terminal velocity 🙂

(04/04 13:42:55) Ro”Jethhe says DOH!

(04/04 13:42:59) Prad: lol

(04/04 13:43:00) Calum Traveler winces at Korov’ev’s remark,

(04/04 13:43:00) Mevvah: The request for minimizing chatter in the text chat is to keep the log more readable in the GoMe forum later. Please respact that. I say this as a “talker” myself, so I get how hard it is to keep quiet

(04/04 13:43:01) Claidi Song starts to laugh

(04/04 13:43:30) PodHopper: 1 more question: what is the status of ages mentioned previous meetings?

(04/04 13:43:51) Calum Traveler: as i mentioned in the previous meeting, the large area, MahrnGestoy, will be taking a long while to get through testing.

(04/04 13:44:00) Calum Traveler: it’s very large, and Dulcamara’s work crew is quite small.

(04/04 13:44:28) Calum Traveler: the other area, called “Jalargura” should still be unchanged from the status of ‘probably being next to release unless something drastic happens’

(04/04 13:45:00) Calum Traveler: Mirtahm is still suspended. Pod12 and Overflow Station are on pause while Ami’s work crew has been handling Descent,

(04/04 13:45:06) Calum Traveler: I havent heard anything from Reischu in a while.

(04/04 13:45:18) Calum Traveler: i got the feeling things got quite busy over there,

(04/04 13:45:40) Calum Traveler: any other projects that are being worked on, i cannot comment at this time as i dont have any other information.

(04/04 13:45:52) Calum Traveler: any more questions?

(04/04 13:45:55) PodHopper: Oh and yet another one from Philip: will the bahro stone in Aegura still work (the same)?

(04/04 13:46:05) Calum Traveler: again, how do I control the Bahro?

(04/04 13:46:14) Calum Traveler: unless the powers on high deem things worthy of change…

(04/04 13:46:22) Calum Traveler: i dont think that should be changing any.

(04/04 13:46:24) IwonK: with the “sudo” command

(04/04 13:46:29) Calum Traveler: youd have to ask Yeesha or the Maker or the Bahro.

(04/04 13:46:39) Calum Traveler: …id wager youd only get “Skreee!” from the last one.

(04/04 13:47:23) Calum Traveler: i can, of course, talk with the DRC about how they used to stow away bahro stones, but something tells me that wouldnt last long.

(04/04 13:47:42) Calum Traveler: historically, that never really worked, after all.

(04/04 13:48:06) Calum Traveler: ive got time for one more question

(04/04 13:48:23) PodHopper is checking something out

(04/04 13:48:27) Calum Traveler: going once….

(04/04 13:48:30) Calum Traveler: going twice….

(04/04 13:48:40) Calum Traveler: Sold to the Bahro in the rafters!

(04/04 13:48:44) PodHopper: Thank you, Calum!

(04/04 13:48:50) Calum Traveler: the answer to the question “Skree?” is “Sure thing!”

(04/04 13:48:59) Prad: goigh thrice…

(04/04 13:49:06) RedUhuru: going poof

(04/04 13:13:58) Brooketh: We are a friendly, social group of Ahyoheek enthusiasts, far less "competitive" than our name would imply. We aim for a relaxed, casual hour of playing and conversation that is fun for all. We welcome you regardless of skill level. If you don't know how to play, we can quickly teach you; or you may simply wish to hang out and observe.
(04/04 13:14:09) Brooketh: We use a combination of voice and text chat. You don't need to use a mic, but you should at least have sound enabled so you can hear us.

(04/04 13:16:07) Mevvah cheers
(04/04 13:16:12) Korov'ev: And now, an update on the Fan Age Expeditions in Deep Island and Open Cave:
(04/04 13:16:16) RedUhuru claps his hands
(04/04 13:16:21) Korov'ev: In Deep Island, last month we visited some of Whilyam's ages, the entries from the 3rd RAD and the DAWN contests. In TOC, we visited ages released in 2023: Kalamee, Eder Bahvahnter, and the Fall of D'ni Memorial Island (aka Bahn'tefoonet).
(04/04 13:16:47) Korov'ev: What's coming this month? Tomorrow, in TOC, we'll visit the latest ages released: the Explorers Emporium (aka Zahlto) and Sameehn.
(04/04 13:17:07) Korov'ev: I'll be away from home next weekend, so the next Deep Island expedition will be on the 19th, when we'll visit the cubic maze of Enobmort, by J'Kla. Then, we'll begin May with some of TIkiBear's creations.
(04/04 13:17:15) ScottMiller: I need help getting DI to work. Have it installed but id won't load. Any help would be appreicatedf!
(04/04 13:17:28) Korov'ev: Where we'll go on the 26th in TOC isn't pinned down, since the cycle there is concluded. I think we'll start by going back to the City of Dimensions 🙂
(04/04 13:18:13) *Jodok*: some nice additions wait there 😉
(04/04 13:18:26) Korov'ev: The expeditions are on Sunday at 11:00 KIT, starting in Deep Island's only hood ("/hood"), and in the Fan Ages Touring Club's Hood in the Open Cave.
(04/04 13:18:30) Thumbs up from Prad
(04/04 13:18:40) Korov'ev: The Time Saving Dance is now in effect where I am too, so the Expeditions are back at their regular time slot 🙂
(04/04 13:18:47) ScottMiller: I'll take a look at it Jodok!
(04/04 13:18:49) Korov'ev: There's also an (uncommented) stream: https://www.twitch.tv/korovvannoort
(04/04 13:18:58) Korov'ev: More info and guidelines can be found at https://forum.guildofwriters.org/viewtopic.php?f=111&t=7140
(04/04 13:19:06) Korov'ev: And that's all I got! Any questions?
(04/04 13:19:17) ural: Mirtahm??
(04/04 13:19:18) PodHopper: No questions in queue
(04/04 13:19:24) ural: Soon??
(04/04 13:19:25) Korov'ev: Throubleshooting DI via chat is tricky, can't do that now 😉
(04/04 13:20:08) ScottMiller: Oops! mean Ro! Sorry about that!
(04/04 13:20:09) PodHopper: nothing else?
(04/04 13:20:09) Korov'ev: Ural, ask OpenUru, not me 😉
(04/04 13:20:23) Korov'ev bows

(04/04 13:21:35) shokhootahn Rehn: First, the language classes…
(04/04 13:21:46) shokhootahn Rehn: There are evening classes available on weekday evenings Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, starting at 20:00, 21:00 or 22:00 KI time, depending on the student's schedule.
(04/04 13:21:52) shokhootahn Rehn: (there already is a student scheduled for the Friday night classes)
(04/04 13:21:56) Korov'ev: All ages are welcome over to the Dark Side 😉
(04/04 13:22:08) shokhootahn Rehn: There are daytime openings on Monday through Friday, starting at either 10:00 KI time, 11:00 KI time, or 12:00 KI time, again, depending on the student's schedule. Contact me by PM to set up a day and a time, KI mail me at KI# 80428, or on Discord at r'Tayrtahn.
(04/04 13:22:10) ShilohOBrien claps her hands
(04/04 13:22:37) Mevvah claps her hands
(04/04 13:22:39) shokhootahn Rehn: (Discord is best)
(04/04 13:22:46) shokhootahn Rehn: All classes are Monday through Friday, only. There are no weekend classes available.
(04/04 13:22:56) shokhootahn Rehn: If you are going to contact me by KI-mail, please remember to include your KI #.
(04/04 13:23:06) shokhootahn Rehn: As always, current students can find last-minute updates to class times on the left-hand imager.
(04/04 13:23:30) shokhootahn Rehn: The Guild of Instructors' Hood will be open and public unless a class is in session.
(04/04 13:23:43) shokhootahn Rehn: I have one request for visitors: Please do not post pellet points into the Hood imager.
(04/04 13:23:56) shokhootahn Rehn: Are there any questions?
(04/04 13:24:02) PodHopper: No questions in queue
(04/04 13:24:15) shokhootahn Rehn: Moving on…
(04/04 13:24:24) shokhootahn Rehn: The second announcement is about r'Taytahn's Story Night.
(04/04 13:24:39) shokhootahn Rehn: Today, we will tell the eighth and final story (#82 of 104) from the novel, Myst: The Book of D'ni!
(04/04 13:24:51) shokhootahn Rehn: Eventually, we cover all of the books and games, as well as the three human attempts at restoration.
(04/04 13:25:07) shokhootahn Rehn: Next week, April 11th, we will begin the story from the game, Myst III: Exile.
(04/04 13:25:21) shokhootahn Rehn: There will be no story on Saturday, April 25th, due to family obligations.
(04/04 13:25:36) 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!
(04/04 13:26:03) 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.
(04/04 13:26:50) 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.
(04/04 13:27:08) shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night – Europe is held at 14:00 KI time on Saturday afternoon. We start gathering at the hood's fountain starting at 13:30 KI time except for AGM Saturdays, when it starts at 14:30 KI or 30 minutes after the AGM, whichever is later.
(04/04 13:27:31) shokhootahn Rehn: Lately, it's been starting at 14:30 on AGM Saturdays. 🙂
(04/04 13:27:44) shokhootahn Rehn: I also post changes on the left-hand imager in the hood.
(04/04 13:27:50) 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. 🙂
(04/04 13:28:06) shokhootahn Rehn: Minasunda is one of those members, as she runs the announcements channel on Discord.
(04/04 13:28:17) shokhootahn Rehn: The stories are told using voice so you will need to have your speakers or headsets on.
(04/04 13:28:31) 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. 🙂
(04/04 13:28:56) shokhootahn Rehn: We hope to see you there!
(04/04 13:29:01) shokhootahn Rehn: Any questions?
(04/04 13:29:07) PodHopper: No questions in queue
(04/04 13:29:10) shokhootahn Rehn bows

(04/04 13:32:54) Calum Traveler: on cavern related notes
(04/04 13:33:00) Calum Traveler: i have NOT gotten the shirts in for the Pub yet
(04/04 13:33:07) Calum Traveler: i need to poke the committee again on that
(04/04 13:33:17) Calum Traveler: also, as an addendum to last month's announcement
(04/04 13:33:24) Calum Traveler: due to a communication error i made a mistake
(04/04 13:33:27) ScottMiller: Still too far! wish it would be held at Riverside, CA or San Diego!
(04/04 13:33:34) Calum Traveler: i said a "Cavern like" location was not actually in the Cavern,
(04/04 13:33:40) Calum Traveler: it actually is a Cavern Location.
(04/04 13:34:20) Calum Traveler: that area, MahrnGestoy, is the large one that will likely take some time to thoroughly test and make sure it is safe and ready.
(04/04 13:34:49) Calum Traveler: speaking of large areas,
(04/04 13:35:10) Calum Traveler: Descent is still moving along at pace. We've handed over the site to Keith "Tweek" Lord's group,
(04/04 13:35:30) Calum Traveler: he's been doing his own set of review checks over the site.
(04/04 13:35:47) ShilohOBrien is still trying to find the vaccum cleaners in Chiso.
(04/04 13:36:00) Calum Traveler: of note, i have heard some concerns this last week regarding whether explorer made marker missions will still be usable in Descent,
(04/04 13:36:06) IwonK: they suck, Shiloh
(04/04 13:36:16) Calum Traveler: i need to do some final checks once Tweek is done with his checks,
(04/04 13:36:28) Prad: Danger, vaccum.
(04/04 13:36:28) Calum Traveler: but i believe that old marker missions should still be playable,
(04/04 13:36:58) ShilohOBrien: I should hope so, IwonK. that's kind of their job. 😛
(04/04 13:37:04) Calum Traveler: as far as Nexus access, we're still looking into activating the nexus terminals, but there's been some small hiccups in that regard,
(04/04 13:37:39) Calum Traveler: for example, the rest area tomahn we're familiar with- its nexus terminal seems to have trouble registering the proper location and will either give you the right one or a completely wrong location,
(04/04 13:38:00) Calum Traveler: that feature, if it cant be sorted out, will likely be left disabled on phase 1 release.
(04/04 13:38:51) Calum Traveler: im looking into the possibility of sourcing one of the old Maintainer prototype Nexus facilities that isn't being used for Descent use specifically
(04/04 13:39:54) Calum Traveler: ill also be hopefully getting some new signs in for GoMePub and Chiso Preniv, after some questions ive had regarding management
(04/04 13:40:15) Calum Traveler: i believe you all know the story by now, but for those who dont, to ease those questions, ill be adding "Under New Management" signs,
(04/04 13:40:25) Calum Traveler: that's all i have for now
(04/04 13:40:27) Calum Traveler: any questions
(04/04 13:40:31) Mevvah: a comment please
(04/04 13:40:33) PodHopper: I have 1 question from Ro: will the new descent be private or public
(04/04 13:41:01) Mevvah yields until pod's question is answered
(04/04 13:41:01) Calum Traveler: @Ro: How can I control whether yeesha or the bahro intervene with how you access the site?
(04/04 13:41:32) Calum Traveler: i plan on having the access point through Chiso Preniv being public access, but i cant stop yall with using your City Books to access hood instances.
(04/04 13:41:43) Prad: I think the descent public/private/whatsoever has been actively discussed on OpenUru recently …
(04/04 13:41:47) Ro"Jethhe thanks you
(04/04 13:42:02) PodHopper: No other questions in queue
(04/04 13:42:08) Mevvah: may I
(04/04 13:42:13) Calum Traveler: Mevvah yesw
(04/04 13:42:13) PodHopper: yes
(04/04 13:42:14) Calum Traveler: go ahead
(04/04 13:42:40) Korov'ev: Someone bring Eddie, let's see if it reaches terminal velocity 🙂
(04/04 13:42:55) Ro"Jethhe says DOH!
(04/04 13:42:59) Prad: lol
(04/04 13:43:00) Calum Traveler winces at Korov'ev's remark,
(04/04 13:43:00) Mevvah: The request for minimizing chatter in the text chat is to keep the log more readable in the GoMe forum later. Please respact that. I say this as a "talker" myself, so I get how hard it is to keep quiet
(04/04 13:43:01) Claidi Song starts to laugh
(04/04 13:43:30) PodHopper: 1 more question: what is the status of ages mentioned previous meetings?
(04/04 13:43:51) Calum Traveler: as i mentioned in the previous meeting, the large area, MahrnGestoy, will be taking a long while to get through testing.
(04/04 13:44:00) Calum Traveler: it's very large, and Dulcamara's work crew is quite small.
(04/04 13:44:28) Calum Traveler: the other area, called "Jalargura" should still be unchanged from the status of 'probably being next to release unless something drastic happens'
(04/04 13:45:00) Calum Traveler: Mirtahm is still suspended. Pod12 and Overflow Station are on pause while Ami's work crew has been handling Descent,
(04/04 13:45:06) Calum Traveler: I havent heard anything from Reischu in a while.
(04/04 13:45:18) Calum Traveler: i got the feeling things got quite busy over there,
(04/04 13:45:40) Calum Traveler: any other projects that are being worked on, i cannot comment at this time as i dont have any other information.
(04/04 13:45:52) Calum Traveler: any more questions?
(04/04 13:45:55) PodHopper: Oh and yet another one from Philip: will the bahro stone in Aegura still work (the same)?
(04/04 13:46:05) Calum Traveler: again, how do I control the Bahro?
(04/04 13:46:14) Calum Traveler: unless the powers on high deem things worthy of change…
(04/04 13:46:22) Calum Traveler: i dont think that should be changing any.
(04/04 13:46:24) IwonK: with the "sudo" command
(04/04 13:46:29) Calum Traveler: youd have to ask Yeesha or the Maker or the Bahro.
(04/04 13:46:39) Calum Traveler: …id wager youd only get "Skreee!" from the last one.
(04/04 13:47:23) Calum Traveler: i can, of course, talk with the DRC about how they used to stow away bahro stones, but something tells me that wouldnt last long.
(04/04 13:47:42) Calum Traveler: historically, that never really worked, after all.
(04/04 13:48:06) Calum Traveler: ive got time for one more question
(04/04 13:48:23) PodHopper is checking something out
(04/04 13:48:27) Calum Traveler: going once….
(04/04 13:48:30) Calum Traveler: going twice….
(04/04 13:48:40) Calum Traveler: Sold to the Bahro in the rafters!
(04/04 13:48:44) PodHopper claps his hands

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(03/07 13:20:32) Korov’ev: oops

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(03/07 13:24:44) Prad: D’nokia cells

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

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

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

(03/07 13:25:39) shokhootahn Rehn: As always, I have two separate announcements. One is for the D’ni Language Class and the other one is for r’Tayrtahn’s Story Night.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(03/07 13:27:56) shokhootahn Rehn: As I’ve said, before, one of my former students, Yutiel, is listed on that imager. I have refrained from posting pellets to maintain her name at the top as a form of memorial. It’s why I haven’t posted pellet points above 168345: it was to keep her name at the top of the list.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(03/07 13:36:05) shokhootahn Rehn: Original Story Night is held at 23:30 KI time on Saturday night. We start gathering at the hood’s fountain starting at 23:00 KI time.

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

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

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

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

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

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

(03/07 13:37:24) shokhootahn Rehn: r’Tayrtahn announces the start of Story Night through buddy chat. If you would like to receive the announcements, please send r’T a KI mail (with your KI number included in the text) and he’ll add you to his buddies list. His KI number is 58324. KI mails do not identify the KI number of the sender. Though the sender is added to the Recents folder, it is still a good idea to add it to the body of the text. 🙂

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(03/07 13:58:19) Calum Traveler: 🙂

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(03/07 14:01:31) Ereshkigal: Thanks a lot, Pod!!!

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

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

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

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

(03/07 13:25:39) shokhootahn Rehn: As always, I have two separate announcements. One is for the D'ni Language Class and the other one is for r'Tayrtahn's Story Night.
(03/07 13:25:44) shokhootahn Rehn: First, the language classes…
(03/07 13:25:53) shokhootahn Rehn: There are evening classes available on weekday evenings Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, starting at 20:00, 21:00 or 22:00 KI time, depending on the student's schedule.
(03/07 13:26:06) shokhootahn Rehn: (there already is a student scheduled for the Friday night classes)
(03/07 13:26:17) shokhootahn Rehn: There are daytime openings on Monday through Friday, starting at either 10:00 KI time, 11:00 KI time, or 12:00 KI time, again, depending on the student's schedule. Contact me by PM to set up a day and a time, KI mail me at KI# 80428, or on Discord at r'Tayrtahn.
(03/07 13:26:42) shokhootahn Rehn: (Discord is best)
(03/07 13:26:50) shokhootahn Rehn: All classes are Monday through Friday, only. There are no weekend classes available.
(03/07 13:27:00) shokhootahn Rehn: If you are going to contact me by KI-mail, please remember to include your KI #.
(03/07 13:27:09) shokhootahn Rehn: As always, current students can find last-minute updates to class times on the left-hand imager.
(03/07 13:27:36) shokhootahn Rehn: The Guild of Instructors' Hood will be open and public unless a class is in session.
(03/07 13:27:46) shokhootahn Rehn: I have one request for visitors: Please do not post pellet points into the Hood imager…
(03/07 13:27:56) shokhootahn Rehn: As I've said, before, one of my former students, Yutiel, is listed on that imager. I have refrained from posting pellets to maintain her name at the top as a form of memorial. It's why I haven't posted pellet points above 168345: it was to keep her name at the top of the list.
(03/07 13:28:20) shokhootahn Rehn: Are there any questions?
(03/07 13:28:28) PodHopper: I have one
(03/07 13:28:33) PodHopper: From M. Rogers: are there introductory classes without appointment?
(03/07 13:30:00) shokhootahn Rehn: Unfortunately, no. The 101 class has 6 lessons, though most students usually need an extra week for two of the lessons because of the volume of information.
(03/07 13:30:24) shokhootahn Rehn: Also, my time is somewhatlimited due to surface life.
(03/07 13:30:50) shokhootahn Rehn: The same is true for the other instructors.
(03/07 13:31:04) shokhootahn Rehn: *somewhat limited
(03/07 13:31:52) Mr.Rogers: Thank you.
(03/07 13:31:52) shokhootahn Rehn: Special times may be arranged if the current times are not good for you.
(03/07 13:32:08) shokhootahn Rehn: Contact me on Discord and we can arrange a time for you. 🙂
(03/07 13:32:19) Dreamer3: Is college credit available for D'ni language classes?
(03/07 13:32:19) shokhootahn Rehn: Any other questions?
(03/07 13:32:23) Mr.Rogers: I'm not on Discord, but thank you.
(03/07 13:32:28) Mevvah: Don't we wish
(03/07 13:32:34) PodHopper: no other in queue
(03/07 13:32:35) shokhootahn Rehn: lol@Dreamer3. nThat would be nice, no?
(03/07 13:32:36) Lucario1829: haha
(03/07 13:32:47) shokhootahn Rehn: Moving on…
(03/07 13:32:55) shokhootahn Rehn: The second announcement is about r'Taytahn's Story Night.
(03/07 13:33:21) shokhootahn Rehn: Today, we will tell the fifth story (#79 of 104) from the novel, Myst: The Book of D'ni!
(03/07 13:33:37) shokhootahn Rehn: Eventually, we cover all of the books and games, as well as the three human attempts at restoration.
(03/07 13:34:15) shokhootahn Rehn: Though, for next week, and in honor of International Women's Day, I will be telling a special story: Strong Women in D'ni History.
(03/07 13:35:19) shokhootahn Rehn: I am recording Story Night for (eventual) upload to my YouTube channel (rTayrtahn). I have created an avatar for the purpose of recording. His name is "I'm a bot, do not message". Please do not PM him during the story unless you want to see your message displayed for the entire internet. 😉 Also, please do NOT add him as a buddy. He has no special abilities and is there only to record Story Night.
(03/07 13:35:38) shokhootahn Rehn: As an aside, I am also providing caption translations into several languages: French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish. Since I don't speak any of those languages, it will be up to my viewers to tell me how well that is working out. 🙂
(03/07 13:35:44) shokhootahn Rehn: Let me know if you would like to see any additional translations.
(03/07 13:35:56) shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night is held in the public neighborhood of Tsahno's Hood every Saturday.
(03/07 13:36:05) shokhootahn Rehn: Original Story Night is held at 23:30 KI time on Saturday night. We start gathering at the hood's fountain starting at 23:00 KI time.
(03/07 13:36:22) shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night – Europe is held at 14:00 KI time on Saturday afternoon. We start gathering at the hood's fountain starting at 13:30 KI time except for AGM Saturdays, when it starts at 14:30 KI or 30 minutes after the AGM, whichever is later.
(03/07 13:36:38) shokhootahn Rehn: Lately, it's been starting at 14:30 on AGM Saturdays. 🙂
(03/07 13:36:47) shokhootahn Rehn: I also post changes on the left-hand imager in the hood.
(03/07 13:36:55) shokhootahn Rehn: Should I need to cancel one of the stories at the last minute, I will try to aprise one or two of my regular audience members of the situation so they can spread the news. 🙂
(03/07 13:37:04) shokhootahn Rehn: Minasunda is one of those members, as she runs the announcements channel on Discord.
(03/07 13:37:13) shokhootahn Rehn: The stories are told using voice so you will need to have your speakers or headsets on.
(03/07 13:37:24) shokhootahn Rehn: r'Tayrtahn announces the start of Story Night through buddy chat. If you would like to receive the announcements, please send r'T a KI mail (with your KI number included in the text) and he'll add you to his buddies list. His KI number is 58324. KI mails do not identify the KI number of the sender. Though the sender is added to the Recents folder, it is still a good idea to add it to the body of the text. 🙂
(03/07 13:37:51) shokhootahn Rehn: We hope to see you there!
(03/07 13:37:55) shokhootahn Rehn: Any questions?
(03/07 13:38:05) PodHopper: none in queue
(03/07 13:38:11) shokhootahn Rehn thanks you very much!

(03/07 13:39:35) Calum Traveler: the D'ni, Rivenese, Seranai, and Narani dictionaries will be added next to the Dni Explorer Forum Archives (and the eventual DRC forum archives once i get those from tweek)
(03/07 13:39:43) Calum Traveler: this corner will now be called, "The Reference Corner"
(03/07 13:39:52) Calum Traveler: for all your facutal reference needs!
(03/07 13:39:59) Calum Traveler: caftual*
(03/07 13:40:00) Korov'ev: There will be an examination in June!
(03/07 13:40:00) Calum Traveler: factual**
(03/07 13:40:11) Dreamer3: : )
(03/07 13:40:14) IndigoMoon: lol
(03/07 13:40:18) Lucario1829: lol, sounds useful!
(03/07 13:40:19) Calum Traveler: additionally, after some discussions,
(03/07 13:40:25) Calum Traveler: i have appropriated a new desk for the basement
(03/07 13:40:40) Calum Traveler: Our Dear Friend Minasunda will now have her own desk!
(03/07 13:40:44) Lucario1829 cheers

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(02/07 13:27:07) Ereshkigal: 🙂

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(02/07 13:28:48) Korov’ev bows

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

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

(02/07 13:30:43) shokhootahn Rehn: (there already is a student scheduled for the Friday night classes)

(02/07 13:30:58) shokhootahn Rehn: There are daytime openings on Monday through Friday, starting at either 10:00 KI time, 11:00 KI time, or 12:00 KI time, again, depending on the student’s schedule. Contact me by PM to set up a day and a time, KI mail me at KI# 80428, or on Discord at r’Tayrtahn.

(02/07 13:31:18) shokhootahn Rehn: (Discord is best)

(02/07 13:31:25) shokhootahn Rehn: All classes are Monday through Friday, only. There are no weekend classes available.

(02/07 13:31:33) shokhootahn Rehn: If you are going to contact me by KI-mail, please remember to include your KI #.

(02/07 13:31:57) shokhootahn Rehn: Now for some exciting news…

(02/07 13:32:04) shokhootahn Rehn: Another student has started taking the classes!

(02/07 13:32:26) shokhootahn Rehn: The Guild of Instructors’ Hood will be open and public unless a class is in session.

(02/07 13:32:44) shokhootahn Rehn: I have one request for visitors: Please do not post pellet points into the Hood imager.

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

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

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

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

(02/07 13:33:44) shokhootahn Rehn: Today, we will tell the third story (#77 of 104) from the novel, Myst: The Book of D’ni!

(02/07 13:33:57) shokhootahn Rehn: Eventually, we cover all of the books and games, as well as the three human attempts at restoration.

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

(02/07 13:34:57) shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night will return the following week, February 21.

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

(02/07 13:35:32) shokhootahn Rehn: The channel is current through April 10, 2021.

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

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

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

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

(02/07 13:36:41) shokhootahn Rehn: Original Story Night is held at 23:30 KI time on Saturday night. We start gathering at the hood’s fountain starting at 23:00 KI time.

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

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

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

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

(02/07 13:37:42) shokhootahn Rehn: Should I need to cancel one of the stories at the last minute, I will try to aprise one or two of my regular audience members of the situation so they can spread the news. 🙂

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

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

(02/07 13:38:22) shokhootahn Rehn: r’Tayrtahn announces the start of Story Night through buddy chat. If you would like to receive the announcements, please send r’T a KI mail (with your KI number included in the text) and he’ll add you to his buddies list. His KI number is 58324. KI mails do not identify the KI number of the sender. Though the sender is added to the Recents folder, it is still a good idea to add it to the body of the text. 🙂

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(02/07 13:50:09) Claidi Song: 🙂

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(02/07 13:54:45) Daniel452: 🙂

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(02/07 14:06:38) uru348: cue ‘Link – Robyn Miller’

(02/07 14:06:40) SkipfordJ: Thanks all!

(02/07 14:06:43) rarified: Thank you PodHopper

(02/07 14:06:46) IwonK: thank you, Pod 🙂

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

(02/07 13:20:27) Augur: For March, in honor of International Women's Day, we will again be selecting between three speculative fiction novels written by women. We will be meeting on March 21st, at 12:30 KI in Nezetahn's Hood's Eder Delin.
(02/07 13:20:44) Augur: The three books are: "Legendborn" by Tracy Deonn, "Circe" by Madeline Miller, and "The Husbands" by Holly Gramazio".
(02/07 13:20:58) Augur: Descriptions of the books and voting can be done in either the MOULa Community Music, Movies, & Games Discord in the "Book Club" channel or the MOULa Events Discord in the "Discussion MOULa Events" channel.
(02/07 13:21:18) Augur: Please vote for all the books you are interested in, but only in one of the two places to prevent duplicate voting.
(02/07 13:21:33) Augur: You can also message me directly on Discord to vote if that is easier for you. I am "augurdog" there. 🙂
(02/07 13:21:50) Augur: As always everyone is welcome at the Cavern Book Club. By no means do you need to "commit" to coming every meeting. But if a book interests you, join us!
(02/07 13:22:03) Augur: Any questions?
(02/07 13:22:08) PodHopper: No questions in the queue.

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

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

(02/07 13:27:31) Prad: lol
(02/07 13:27:41) Korov'ev: a dialect of D'ni, in fact!
(02/07 13:27:52) Korov'ev: More info and guidelines can be found at https://forum.guildofwriters.org/viewtopic.php?f=111&t=7140
(02/07 13:28:01) Korov'ev: And that's all I got! Any questions?

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

(02/07 13:31:18) shokhootahn Rehn: (Discord is best)
(02/07 13:31:25) shokhootahn Rehn: All classes are Monday through Friday, only. There are no weekend classes available.
(02/07 13:31:33) shokhootahn Rehn: If you are going to contact me by KI-mail, please remember to include your KI #.
(02/07 13:31:46) shokhootahn Rehn: As always, current students can find last-minute updates to class times on the left-hand imager.
(02/07 13:31:57) shokhootahn Rehn: Now for some exciting news…
(02/07 13:32:04) shokhootahn Rehn: Another student has started taking the classes!

(02/07 13:33:00) shokhootahn Rehn: Are there any questions?
(02/07 13:33:07) PodHopper: No questions in the queue.
(02/07 13:33:13) shokhootahn Rehn: Moving on…
(02/07 13:33:18) shokhootahn Rehn: The second announcement is about r'Taytahn's Story Night.
(02/07 13:33:44) shokhootahn Rehn: Today, we will tell the third story (#77 of 104) from the novel, Myst: The Book of D'ni!
(02/07 13:33:57) shokhootahn Rehn: Eventually, we cover all of the books and games, as well as the three human attempts at restoration.
(02/07 13:34:14) shokhootahn Rehn: There will be no story on Saturday, the 14th, due to family obligations.
(02/07 13:34:57) shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night will return the following week, February 21.
(02/07 13:35:12) shokhootahn Rehn: I am recording Story Night for (eventual) upload to my YouTube channel (rTayrtahn). I have created an avatar for the purpose of recording. His name is "I'm a bot, do not message". Please do not PM him during the story unless you want to see your message displayed for the entire internet. 😉 Also, please do NOT add him as a buddy. He has no special abilities and is there only to record Story Night.
(02/07 13:35:32) shokhootahn Rehn: The channel is current through April 10, 2021.
(02/07 13:35:56) shokhootahn Rehn: (I have a bit of a backlog that Iam slowly working through)
(02/07 13:36:09) shokhootahn Rehn: As an aside, I am also providing caption translations into several languages: French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish. Since I don't speak any of those languages, it will be up to my viewers to tell me how well that is working out. 🙂
(02/07 13:36:14) shokhootahn Rehn: Let me know if you would like to see any additional translations.
(02/07 13:36:32) shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night is held in the public neighborhood of Tsahno's Hood every Saturday.
(02/07 13:36:41) shokhootahn Rehn: Original Story Night is held at 23:30 KI time on Saturday night. We start gathering at the hood's fountain starting at 23:00 KI time.
(02/07 13:36:58) shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night – Europe is held at 14:00 KI time on Saturday afternoon. We start gathering at the hood's fountain starting at 13:30 KI time except for AGM Saturdays, when it starts at 14:30 KI or 30 minutes after the AGM, whichever is later.
(02/07 13:37:20) shokhootahn Rehn: Lately, it's been starting at 14:30 on AGM Saturdays. 🙂
(02/07 13:37:28) shokhootahn Rehn: I also post changes on the left-hand imager in the hood.
(02/07 13:37:33) *Jodok* wants to ask a question…
(02/07 13:37:42) shokhootahn Rehn: Should I need to cancel one of the stories at the last minute, I will try to aprise one or two of my regular audience members of the situation so they can spread the news. 🙂
(02/07 13:37:57) shokhootahn Rehn: Minasunda is one of those members, as she runs the announcements channel on Discord.
(02/07 13:38:10) shokhootahn Rehn: The stories are told using voice so you will need to have your speakers or headsets on.
(02/07 13:38:22) shokhootahn Rehn: r'Tayrtahn announces the start of Story Night through buddy chat. If you would like to receive the announcements, please send r'T a KI mail (with your KI number included in the text) and he'll add you to his buddies list. His KI number is 58324. KI mails do not identify the KI number of the sender. Though the sender is added to the Recents folder, it is still a good idea to add it to the body of the text. 🙂
(02/07 13:38:49) shokhootahn Rehn: We hope to see you there!
(02/07 13:38:59) shokhootahn Rehn: *Jodok*, you have a question?
(02/07 13:39:05) *Jodok*: question is this 2 weeks alternation going on for more time like regularly?
(02/07 13:39:34) shokhootahn Rehn: Not regularly.
(02/07 13:39:49) *Jodok* thanks you
(02/07 13:39:57) PodHopper: no other questions in queue
(02/07 13:39:58) shokhootahn Rehn: There *may* be one more before Story Nigt returns to it's weekly time table.

(02/07 13:41:09) Calum Traveler: apologies for a little out of orderness
(02/07 13:41:26) Calum Traveler: the first one is a request ive receieved for information by a few concerned explorers,
(02/07 13:41:51) Calum Traveler: our dear Greeter friend Etelka has been MIA for about a month now, and nobody has any information about where she is or what her current status is.
(02/07 13:42:04) Calum Traveler: if you know anything, please pass that information along to Sleeper Jan, or Andrew Yosso
(02/07 13:42:20) Ereshkigal: I hope she's okay!!!
(02/07 13:42:30) Claidi Song: I hope all is well for her!
(02/07 13:42:31) Calum Traveler: hopefully she's just busy dealing with IRL stuff and nothing bad has happened, but
(02/07 13:42:37) Calum Traveler: if you know anything, please let them know.
(02/07 13:42:41) Emor D'ni Lap is surprised Andrew has no other contact for Etelka

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

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

(02/07 14:06:10) Daniel452: Indeed!
(02/07 14:06:13) ZTenski: "Minkata ultra-alpha"
(02/07 14:06:19) Claidi Song: Have a great month everyone!
(02/07 14:06:20) *Jodok*: when URU on Unreal?

(02/07 14:06:24) IwonK: Mincata Cookie is a nice name
(02/07 14:06:28) Calum Traveler: probably never, *Jodok*
