(01/02 13:01:41)  Korov'ev: Shorah, and welcome to the 129th All Guilds Meeting, and the first of 2021!

(01/02 13:02:09)  Korov'ev: As usual, I'll remind you the 5 Meeting Rules:
(01/02 13:02:14)  Korov'ev: 1. Please *keep chatter to a minimum* while speakers are talking. The occasional comment or emote is fine, but be respectful and let the speaker finish.
(01/02 13:02:26)  Korov'ev: 2. If you have a question for a speaker, please don't ask it directly: PM it to me. Be sure a "?" is somewhere in it to properly log the question in the queue.
(01/02 13:02:37)  Korov'ev: 3. Speakers, please indicate when you are done speaking and ready for questions, and when you're ready for the next question.
(01/02 13:02:46)  Korov'ev: 4. If a question requires a long explanation, we may have to skip it to keep things moving. In that case, you can always PM any speaker once they've left the stage.
(01/02 13:02:49)  Korov'ev: 5. A summary and a chatlog of this meeting will be published in the next few days on the Guild of Messengers' site: https://guildofmessengers.org/
(01/02 13:02:59)  Korov'ev: Of course, you can start your own chatlog with "/startlog".
(01/02 13:03:16)  Korov'ev: So...

(01/02 13:07:01)  Minasunda: And we want more events.
(01/02 13:07:13)  Minasunda: Please consider if you can contribute an event. Someone could organize a door run competition, music events and so on.
(01/02 13:07:28)  Minasunda: Time goes by quickly, don't wait too long.
(01/02 13:07:40)  Minasunda: Especially people from the other time zones are in demand. 
(01/02 13:07:53)  Minasunda: The events that we Europeans organize will maybe not fit into your schedule.
(01/02 13:08:08)  Minasunda: This is something that people repeatedly complain about - that the events  we organize are not suitable for everyone.
(01/02 13:08:24)  Minasunda: We are aware of this and we very much regret it. But it is really difficult to find a time slot that is suitable for all players from all corners of the world
(01/02 13:08:42)  Minasunda: And a lot of us organizers are Europeans.  Ergo these events take place at times that are suitable for the organizers.
(01/02 13:08:56)  Minasunda: We try to put most of the big events on Saturday and Sunday because we assume that most people in the worls don't have to work there either. 
(01/02 13:09:14)  Minasunda: However, it is becoming more and more difficult to find a free time slot because  the weekends are already fully booked with regular events.
(01/02 13:09:38)  Minasunda: I can only say If you want events at times that are more suitable for you,  do not hesitate to organize some  :)))
(01/02 13:09:57)  Minasunda: Let us look forward to the anniversary  -  and please think about what you can contribute to make it great :))
(01/02 13:10:19)  Minasunda: thats all from me  Thank you :))

(01/02 13:13:07)  CT Hostess Susa'n: Our tour guide, Larry LeDeay, uses his twitch.tv/LWF58 channel to live-stream each tour.
(01/02 13:13:24)  CT Hostess Susa'n: And so you will need to open your Internet browser.
(01/02 13:13:51)  CT Hostess Susa'n: If you create an account for twitch.tv, you can register for email notifications when the tour begins to live-stream.

(01/02 13:15:55)  Korov'ev: We have an announcement from Marten!
(01/02 13:15:59) [applause]
(01/02 13:16:12)  Ro"Jethhe: Walking tours? So these are not ADA approved? Just joking Susan.
(01/02 13:16:39)  Marten: This is an announcement about a service of the Messengers called rel.to (http://rel.to/)
(01/02 13:16:50)  Marten: rel.to is a browsable index of the Myst and Cyan community, and a link shortcut tool as well.
(01/02 13:16:59)  Marten: It saves on typing and on remembering our diverse community URLs.
(01/02 13:17:09)  Marten: rel.to/gome takes you to the Messengers site, guildofmessengers.COM
(01/02 13:17:18)  Marten: rel.to/gow takes you to the Writers at guildofwriters.ORG
(01/02 13:17:35)  Marten: rel.to/goc takes you to the Cartographers at www.cates-associates.net/uru/ :)
(01/02 13:17:52)  Marten: It also catalogues lost sites saved to the Wayback Machine at archive.org, such as Ubisoft's old Myst Worlds website.
(01/02 13:18:09)  Marten: The sad news is that rel.to is out of date, for the past 5 years the site has been locked and noone has been able to maintain the index.
(01/02 13:18:23)  Marten: The great news is that the Messengers are once again able to update the site thanks to Leonardo, as mentioned last month.
(01/02 13:18:36)  Marten: I am appealing to you, the community, to share your suggestions, requests, and updates for rel.to with me.
(01/02 13:18:47)  Marten: You can post details in the #messengers-pub channel in the Cyan Discord server.
(01/02 13:19:07)  Marten: If you can, please be specific about how an entry should be corrected or changed.  If you say a link doesn't work, I'll disable it...
(01/02 13:19:16)  Marten: But if you can provide a new URL, I'll update the entry to use that.
(01/02 13:19:18)  Marten: Thank you!
(01/02 13:19:32)  Korov'ev: Marten has already updated a lot of entries, but more eyes are always helpful :)

(01/02 13:23:46)  rarified: this week, but that should only slow me down for a couple of weeks.
