(01/06 13:01:19) Claidi Song: Welcome! You’ve arrived at an active and exciting time in MOULa!

(01/06 13:01:27) Claidi Song: All Guilds Meeting (AGM) meets from 13:00-13:55 KI on the first Saturday of each month. All KI times correspond to the Mountain Time Zone.

(01/06 13:01:40) Claidi Song: Now for the usual reiteration Five Meeting Rules-

(01/06 13:01:58) Claidi Song: To give each speaker all the time they need and have time for Q&A after each one, Please:

(01/06 13:02:05) Claidi Song: 1. Keep chatter to a minimum while the speakers are talking. An occasional comment or emote is fine, but be respectful and let the speaker finish.

(01/06 13:02:24) Claidi Song: 2. Save questions until the speaker asks for questions at the end of their presentation.

(01/06 13:02:30) Claidi Song: Or DM questions to me to add to the questions queue for Q&A.

(01/06 13:02:40) Claidi Song: 3. Speakers: please indicate when you are ready for questions, and when you’re ready for the next question.

(01/06 13:02:50) Ro”Jethhe leans right

(01/06 13:02:52) Claidi Song: 4. If a question requires a long answer, we may need to skip it to stay on track. In that case, please, PM the speaker after they’ve left the platform.

(01/06 13:03:02) Claidi Song: 5. A summary and the chatlog of this meeting will be published within a few days on the Guild of Messengers’ website – https://guildofmessengers.org/

(01/06 13:03:09) Claidi Song: Of course, you can start your own chatlog by typing: /startlog

(01/06 13:03:27) Claidi Song: So, jumping right into today’s agenda!

(01/06 13:03:41) Claidi Song: Starting with Cavern events and news:

(01/06 13:03:48) Ro”Jethhe nods his head

(01/06 13:03:56) Claidi Song beckons you

(01/06 13:03:56) Claidi Song: The stage is yours, IwonK!

(01/06 13:04:12) IwonK: I’ll be streaming my Wonky Talk on Friday, January 12th at 15 KI in the Guild of Cookies’ Hood (we sit near the heek table)

(01/06 13:04:21) IwonK: This month’s topic is “Racing games”! I have some titles in my mind already but if you know any interesting games I could talk about (and draw), feel free to throw them my way 🙂

(01/06 13:04:34) IwonK: join me on my Twitch channel (twitch.tv/yvonk), there will be cookies 🙂

(01/06 13:04:44) IwonK: In other wonky news, I’ve made some games of my own as a gamedev challenge, if you want to check them out, follow this link: iwonk.itch.io

(01/06 13:04:54) IwonK: any Qs in the Q?

(01/06 13:05:19) IwonK bows

(01/06 13:05:21) Claidi Song: Thank you, IwonK!

(01/06 13:05:42) Claidi Song: Next, shokhootahn Rehn will bring us up-to-date on his Story Night and D’ni Language Classes.

(01/06 13:05:52) Claidi Song beckons you

(01/06 13:05:52) Claidi Song: Welcome to the platform shokhootahn Rehn!

(01/06 13:06:17) shokhootahn Rehn: I hope everyone had a happy and blessed holiday season. 🙂

(01/06 13:06:23) Ro”Jethhe thanks you

(01/06 13:06:25) shokhootahn Rehn: As always, I have two separate announcements. One is for the D’ni Language Class and the other one is for r’Tayrtahn’s Story Night.

(01/06 13:06:30) Claidi Song nods her head

(01/06 13:06:30) Claidi Song: Thank you

(01/06 13:06:45) shokhootahn Rehn: First, the language classes…

(01/06 13:06:58) shokhootahn Rehn: There are evening classes available on weekday evenings on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday starting at 20:00, 21:00 or 22:00 KI time, depending on the student’s schedule. There are daytime openings starting at either 12:00 KI time, 13:00 KI time, or 14:00 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#1317.

(01/06 13:07:38) shokhootahn Rehn: All classes are Monday through Friday, only. There are no weekend classes available.

(01/06 13:07:44) shokhootahn Rehn: Though, daytime availability is subject to change with little or no notice.

(01/06 13:07:49) shokhootahn Rehn: If you are going to contact me by KI-mail, remember to inclue your KI #.

(01/06 13:08:08) shokhootahn Rehn: *include

(01/06 13:08:11) shokhootahn Rehn: As always, current students can find last-minute updates to class times on the left-hand imager.

(01/06 13:08:47) shokhootahn Rehn: As Mr Magic is back in the cavern…

(01/06 13:09:06) shokhootahn Rehn: I use Magic Bot’s (KI #27527) advertisements (when he’s on) to announce last-minute changes to class times.

(01/06 13:09:22) shokhootahn Rehn: Now for some exciting news…

(01/06 13:09:33) shokhootahn Rehn: Another victim… er, student… has finished the 101 lessons and is working on their final exam.

(01/06 13:09:54) shokhootahn Rehn: The Guild of Instructors’ Hood will be open and public unless a class is in session.

(01/06 13:10:01) BIG thumbs up from Ro”Jethhe

(01/06 13:10:07) shokhootahn Rehn: I have one request for visitors: Please do not post pellet points into the Hood imager…

(01/06 13:10:15) shokhootahn Rehn: 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.

(01/06 13:10:24) shokhootahn Rehn: Are there any questions?

(01/06 13:10:27) ScottMiller: I was about to ask how many students you currently have…

(01/06 13:10:31) Claidi Song: No questions in the queue

(01/06 13:10:42) shokhootahn Rehn: 2, Scott. 🙂

(01/06 13:10:51) Mevvah raises her hand

(01/06 13:10:59) shokhootahn Rehn: Yes, Mevvah?

(01/06 13:11:06) ScottMiller: Great!

(01/06 13:11:09) Mevvah: are the clases oneon one or a groups?

(01/06 13:11:16) Mevvah: Sorry trying to type fase

(01/06 13:11:16) shokhootahn Rehn: One-on-one

(01/06 13:11:18) Mevvah: Fast

(01/06 13:11:19) Mevvah: Ok

(01/06 13:11:35) Mevvah: Thsnkd

(01/06 13:11:41) Mevvah: Thanks

(01/06 13:11:42) shokhootahn Rehn: I’ve found that it provides a better learning experience for the student. 🙂

(01/06 13:11:53) Mevvah: Just curious

(01/06 13:11:54) IwonK: I can confirm that 😀

(01/06 13:12:04) shokhootahn Rehn: 🙂

(01/06 13:12:05) Mevvah: The time slots jmust fill fast

(01/06 13:12:13) shokhootahn Rehn: Any oter questions?

(01/06 13:12:17) shokhootahn Rehn: *other

(01/06 13:12:28) shokhootahn Rehn: Moving on…

(01/06 13:12:33) ScottMiller: Not any easy class but very satisfing when you graduate!

(01/06 13:12:34) shokhootahn Rehn: The second announcement is about r’Taytahn’s Story Night.

(01/06 13:12:39) Claidi Song: qNo questions in the queue

(01/06 13:12:53) shokhootahn Rehn: Tonight, we start the story of Yeesha’s journey. There are two parts, total. After that, we will begin the stories of the first and second human restoration of the cavern. This week is story #92 of 105 in the story cycle of the history of D’ni.

(01/06 13:13:14) shokhootahn Rehn: So, there is still plenty of history to go!

(01/06 13:13:21) shokhootahn Rehn: Eventually, we will cover all of the books and games, as well as the three human attempts at the restoration of D’ni!

(01/06 13:13:48) 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.

(01/06 13:14:20) shokhootahn Rehn: Currently, I am caught up with video compression. Unfortunately, I have a sizable backlog of videos to edit and upload. To my channel subscribers, please be patient; I am slowly working through it and have uploaded a few more videos to the channel. 🙂

(01/06 13:16:21) shokhootahn Rehn: As an aside, I am also providing caption translations into several languages: French, German, Indonesian, Polish, 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. 🙂

(01/06 13:16:55) IwonK smirks in Polish

(01/06 13:17:08) shokhootahn Rehn: Oh, and Italian, as well.

(01/06 13:17:14) judyg laughs in english

(01/06 13:17:15) Ereshkigal: Is it google translate then?

(01/06 13:17:22) Claidi Song: Wow

(01/06 13:17:23) IwonK: I can’t smirk in Italian 😛

(01/06 13:17:34) uru348: I’d be happy to proofread Indonesian for you.

(01/06 13:17:34) judyg: me neither

(01/06 13:17:35) shokhootahn Rehn: lol

(01/06 13:17:38) shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night is held in the public neighborhood of Tsahno’s Hood every Saturday.

(01/06 13:17:39) jtrigg: esperanto?

(01/06 13:17:42) Ereshkigal wonders about translating D’ni to Bengali with little knowledge of either

(01/06 13:17:45) ScottMiller: There is a denand for Indonesian?

(01/06 13:17:55) rarified: Latin!

(01/06 13:18:10) Mevvah: Seconded!

(01/06 13:18:17) judyg: thirded

(01/06 13:18:28) Musica3: Thirded

(01/06 13:18:43) Musica3: Sorry. Fourthed

(01/06 13:18:52) Claidi Song looks confused

(01/06 13:19:37) Ereshkigal: So, Latin then?

(01/06 13:19:38) judyg: can i get a fifth? (hic)

(01/06 13:19:48) Cully Barger: are we derailed yet?

(01/06 13:19:59) shokhootahn Rehn: Since Latin is spoken by member of the Vatican, and since I do not believe there are any nuns, priests, Bishops or Cardinals who follow my Story Night, I will not be translating in to Latin.

(01/06 13:20:12) shokhootahn Rehn: The jury is still out on the Pope, however…

(01/06 13:20:13) judyg: awwww!

(01/06 13:20:14) shokhootahn Rehn starts to laugh

(01/06 13:20:20) Ereshkigal: Let’s give Claidi a chance to get us back on the rails 🙂

(01/06 13:20:30) shokhootahn Rehn: Original Story Night is held at 23:30 KI time on Saturday night. We start gathering at the hood’s fountain starting at 23:00 KI time.

(01/06 13:20:37) Claidi Song: I was just thinking that.

(01/06 13:20:43) shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night – Europe is held at 14:00 KI time on Saturday afternoon. We start gathering at the hood’s fountain starting at 13:30 KI time except for AGM Saturdays, when it starts at 14:00 KI or 30 minutes after the AGM, whichever is later.

(01/06 13:20:57) shokhootahn Rehn: I also post changes on the left-hand imager in the hood.

(01/06 13:21:04) 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. 🙂

(01/06 13:21:18) shokhootahn Rehn: Minasunda is one of those members, as she runs the announcements channel on Discord.

(01/06 13:21:26) shokhootahn Rehn: The stories are told using voice so you will need to have your speakers or headsets on.

(01/06 13:21:35) 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. 🙂

(01/06 13:21:57) shokhootahn Rehn: We hope to see you there!

(01/06 13:22:04) shokhootahn Rehn: Any questions?

(01/06 13:22:15) Claidi Song: No questions in the queue

(01/06 13:22:19) shokhootahn Rehn thanks you very much!

(01/06 13:22:31) Claidi Song: Thank you, shokhootahn Rehn!

(01/06 13:23:11) Claidi Song: Calum has information about what is happening in Mysterium

(01/06 13:23:29) Claidi Song: But I don’t see his name

(01/06 13:23:46) Ereshkigal: Doesn’t seem to be here…

(01/06 13:23:58) Claidi Song: Alright moving on 🙂

(01/06 13:24:47) Claidi Song: It is always great to hear about the fan created ages in the works to become part of MOULa!

(01/06 13:24:55) Claidi Song: I have received a report from

(01/06 13:25:06) Claidi Song: Semjay, creator of Kalamee,

(01/06 13:25:13) Claidi Song: that The Explorers’ Emporium (although not quite finished) has been submitted for testing!

(01/06 13:25:23) Jaytea: cool

(01/06 13:25:32) rarified: :O

(01/06 13:25:38) judyg: yay!

(01/06 13:25:49) Claidi Song: Sadly, I don’t know the Mysterium date

(01/06 13:25:55) Claidi Song: It is expected to be uploaded sometime in the next several days. So, Testers, watch the OpenUru discord to verify that it is actually there or still pending.

(01/06 13:26:01) IwonK: I don’t think it has been announced yet

(01/06 13:26:02) Claidi Song: It is expected to be uploaded sometime in the next several days. So, Testers, watch the OpenUru discord to verify that it is actually there or still pending.

(01/06 13:26:13) Ereshkigal: Will it be part of the next Moula update?

(01/06 13:26:17) Claidi Song: This brings up the subject of Testers.

(01/06 13:26:26) Claidi Song: More Testers are needed!

(01/06 13:26:41) Claidi Song: Testers are vital to the process of prepping new ages for being added to MOULa.

(01/06 13:26:50) Claidi Song: That can’t be overstated!!!

(01/06 13:26:55) Claidi Song says DOH!

(01/06 13:26:55) Claidi Song: However, I will try not to overstate it here! As I’ve been known to do on occassion. LOL

(01/06 13:27:19) Claidi Song: Anyone who has a good eye for noticing details in a scene and is willing to point out those details that jar, aren’t consistent or plausible and/or are not working correctly is qualified to be a Tester.

(01/06 13:27:27) Claidi Song thanks you very much!

(01/06 13:27:27) Claidi Song: So, please, take advantage of this opportunity to help our creators polish their work and bring these new ages into MOULa for all of us to enjoy.

(01/06 13:27:31) jtrigg: that’s an understatement

(01/06 13:27:34) Claidi Song: For more information about what is going on in the Cavern:

(01/06 13:27:56) rarified: Sign up for access to the Minkata test shard(s) at https://foundry.openuru.org/accounts/

(01/06 13:28:35) Claidi Song: Thank you rarified!!!

(01/06 13:29:08) Claidi Song: I’d like to 1st acknowledge those who staff The Guild of Greeters Hood. It is staffed, Monday-Saturday 13:45-14:15 KI.

(01/06 13:29:14) Claidi Song: Other community members are often there, as well, to provide information and assistance to those who are unfamiliar with the Cavern or just want to learn more.

(01/06 13:29:17) ScottMiller: how does one become a tester?

(01/06 13:29:20) Claidi Song: You can find Cavern Events, Holidays and Anniversaries published on the Guild of Messengers Calendar https://guildofmessengers.org/calendar/

(01/06 13:29:42) ural: Rex has beem on most days

(01/06 13:29:58) ural: And ken might be

(01/06 13:30:17) Claidi Song: Other community members are often there, as well, to provide information and assistance to those who are unfamiliar with the Cavern or just want to learn more.

(01/06 13:31:00) Claidi Song: I’m very impressed by how welcoming it is to have a Guild of Messengers Hoo

(01/06 13:31:07) Claidi Song: *Hood

(01/06 13:31:39) Claidi Song: That is so cool! Thank you

(01/06 13:31:49) Claidi Song: Regular Cavern events are posted in the following places:

(01/06 13:31:54) Claidi Song: 1. In Cavern, the left imager in the qd has a calendar of events. Some events presented by today’s speakers may be missing.

(01/06 13:32:04) Claidi Song: 2.Cyan’s Official Discord Server – https://discord.com/invite/cyanchat

(01/06 13:32:11) Claidi Song: 3. On the D’niverse channel – cavern-events is one place Minasunda posts the events for the day and special events coming up in the next day or so.

(01/06 13:32:20) Claidi Song: 4. Myst Online: Uru Live (again) on Facebook is another place to find Minasunda’s daily notice of scheduled Cavern Events along with short notice events.

(01/06 13:32:27) Claidi Song: 5. As another in-cavern option to getting announcements, Minasunda, KI# 5667000, has offered to send KI mail event lists to anyone who doesn’t access the websites just mentioned. Please, send her your KI # and request these announcements by PM or KI mail in the Cavern.

(01/06 13:32:40) Claidi Song: Last though not least: Remember to support MOULa through CAVCON. The December 2023 donations covered 72% of costs. Awesomely, there is currently a reserve of 620%.

(01/06 13:32:46) Claidi Song shrugs

(01/06 13:32:46) Claidi Song: Not sure how exactly that works . . . but it sounds like donations are going well 🙂

(01/06 13:32:50) Ro”Jethhe is amazed!

(01/06 13:32:52) Ereshkigal: I might come to hang out in the Guild of Greeters ‘ Hood as well sometime! I didn’t know it was that active

(01/06 13:33:06) Claidi Song: That’s the AGM agenda for the month of October!

(01/06 13:33:09) Ereshkigal: Yes!

(01/06 13:33:16) Claidi Song thanks you very much!

(01/06 13:33:17) Claidi Song: Thank you to all the participants! Thank you ALL for coming.

(01/06 13:33:20) rarified: Eeek. October already!?!
