All Guilds Meeting – September 2021 – Raw Chatlog

(09/04 13:00:04) shokhootahn Rehn: Are you the mderator today, Doobes?
(09/04 13:00:19) Doobes: Nope! But I will present first if that’s OK. 😀
(09/04 13:00:26) Doobes: Got lots of stuff to talk about.
(09/04 13:00:32) shokhootahn Rehn: Fine by me!
(09/04 13:00:47) Doobes: Like I said, we’ll try free form…just in case the dreaded Net 2 comes back.
(09/04 13:00:48) Korov’ev: technically no, but it seems there’s to substitute yet
(09/04 13:00:54) Doobes: Sure Susa’n.
(09/04 13:00:56) Lu*: Shorah All 🙂
(09/04 13:01:09) Eternal Seeker: we had 4 Net 2 in one Hour during our Show
(09/04 13:01:13) Ro”Jethhe claps his hands
(09/04 13:01:26) Doobes: Yep, it’s an ongoing problem. I’ll explain in a bit.
(09/04 13:01:28) CT Hostess Susa’n clears throat
(09/04 13:01:41) CT Hostess Susa’n: Shorah b’shemtee! I am Koro …
(09/04 13:01:50) judyg starts to laugh
(09/04 13:01:52) Eternal Seeker: yeah
(09/04 13:01:55) Ro”Jethhe: Too much smoke for those California fires Susa’n?
(09/04 13:02:00) CT Hostess Susa’n: I am Susa’n hostess for our monthly Cavern Tours
(09/04 13:02:02) rarified: It’s fortunate Chogon was able to set the server to automatically restart before he had to leave.
(09/04 13:02:04) Ro”Jethhe: from*
(09/04 13:02:15) Doobes: True.
(09/04 13:02:26) CT Hostess Susa’n: Cavern Tours are a series of walking tours that cover every age in MOULa.
(09/04 13:02:49) CT Hostess Susa’n: Each tour takes place the second Saturday of each month.
(09/04 13:02:56) Minasunda leans right
(09/04 13:03:01) Lu* leans left
(09/04 13:03:03) CT Hostess Susa’n: We meet in Cavern Tour’s Hood at 11:00 a.m. KI time.

(09/04 13:03:37) Scharminius leans left
(09/04 13:03:40) Lu* leans right
(09/04 13:03:42) CT Hostess Susa’n: Our intrepid tour guide, Larry LeDeay, also streams the tour using his twitch channel, twitch.tv/LWF58.
(09/04 13:03:59) CT Hostess Susa’n: lol I see some people jumping and leaning on each other 🙂
(09/04 13:04:08) Lu* leans right
(09/04 13:04:10) Claidi Song leans left
(09/04 13:04:18) neurovac: wave
(09/04 13:04:23) neurovac waves hello
(09/04 13:04:24) Scharminius: Net 2 took us, and we’re coming back 🙂
(09/04 13:04:37) CT Hostess Susa’n: Our very talented grey hat, Mirphak, uses his bot, Mir-o-Bot, to provide special effects and travel services.
(09/04 13:04:50) Claidi Song: Did everyone Net2?
(09/04 13:04:54) Doobes: Yes.
(09/04 13:04:59) CT Hostess Susa’n: I have good new and bad news about next week’s tour — Saturday, September 11.
(09/04 13:05:04) philipgr: I got a net 6
(09/04 13:05:14) Prad: I came in late, so not yet 🙂
(09/04 13:05:45) CT Hostess Susa’n: The bad news is Mirphak will be out of town and he cannot guarantee Mir-o-Bot’s consistent presence due to the Net2s, which we just experienced.
(09/04 13:06:00) CT Hostess Susa’n: The good news is “the show will go on!”
(09/04 13:06:08) Frobozz cheers
(09/04 13:06:13) ScottMiller: oh dear…
(09/04 13:06:17) ShilohOBrien: Cue the dancing bahro!
(09/04 13:06:26) CT Hostess Susa’n: Larry will make a presentation using his twitch channel.
(09/04 13:06:52) CT Hostess Susa’n: Larry invites you to meet in Cavern Tour’s Hood, as usual, although he’s not sure we will travel anywhere.
(09/04 13:07:23) CT Hostess Susa’n: The three of us thank you for your attendance at these tours. We hope you enjoy them as much as we do.
(09/04 13:07:28) Frobozz: Where are we NOT going?
(09/04 13:07:29) CT Hostess Susa’n: See you next week!
(09/04 13:07:32) CT Hostess Susa’n cheers

(09/04 13:07:55) Scharminius claps his hands
(09/04 13:08:01) CT Hostess Susa’n: Either we will stay in Cavern Tour’s Hood and communicate there and via twitch.tv/LWF58, …
(09/04 13:08:01) J’Kla claps his hands
(09/04 13:08:25) CT Hostess Susa’n: or Larry will take us on a physical tour without Mir-o-Bot.
[Net2 error] (09/04 13:15:23) Babbeltje.40: shorah
(09/04 13:15:25) Doobes: Any of you in DRC Hood 67 by chance?
(09/04 13:15:30) Minasunda: no
(09/04 13:15:37) TGMChrist: nope
(09/04 13:15:42) Doobes: It’ll say in the bottom right of your KI.
(09/04 13:15:43) Babbeltje.40: no
(09/04 13:16:00) Cassis: non
(09/04 13:16:00) Doobes: OK, I’ll give it another minute and get into the nitty gritty of what’s going on.
(09/04 13:16:14) ShilohOBrien: Did we miss much?
(09/04 13:16:20) Doobes: I do want to apologize for all this server weirdness.
(09/04 13:16:24) Doobes: Nope, just getting started again.
(09/04 13:16:27) TGMChrist: If that happen again, we are moving to Discord or any other Shard.
(09/04 13:16:43) ScottMiller: well THAT didn’t take long!
(09/04 13:16:45) Doobes: It’s something that didn’t come up in staging because staging doesn’t have nearly the population that this shard does.
(09/04 13:17:02) thoekenem says hey
(09/04 13:17:08) Doobes: So we’re aware of these Net 2 problems and laggy Linking, so please be patient while we sort things.
(09/04 13:17:20) ScottMiller: This could be a VERY long AGM!
(09/04 13:17:23) judyg: i’m too afraid to move
(09/04 13:17:26) Doobes: Chogon had to go out of town for family reasons, so we’ll need him back to report what’s going on with the server.
(09/04 13:17:30) Frobozz: Something needs reboot…
(09/04 13:17:35) Thumbs up from ametist’
(09/04 13:17:40) Doobes: And believe me, we’ll get on it as quickly as we can!
(09/04 13:17:55) judyg: hi theo
(09/04 13:18:03) judyg: i’m not moving
(09/04 13:18:04) Doobes: Believe me, we’ve tried getting others introduced to other shards. Still, the majority comes here.
(09/04 13:18:05) Doobes shrugs
(09/04 13:18:10) judyg: too scared
(09/04 13:18:12) ScottMiller: not all of us, Pod…
(09/04 13:18:25) Doobes: So again, I apologize for all this. We *will* work to find a solution, but again, it may take a bit of time.
(09/04 13:18:28) judyg: keeps crashing
(09/04 13:18:33) Doobes: Expect a hotfix the nanosecond we figure things out though. 😉
(09/04 13:18:39) Frobozz: This is running in AWS now?
(09/04 13:18:39) judyg: i know. silly
(09/04 13:19:04) ShilohOBrien: I have to say, the instructions to get on to other shards are rather opaque to the non tech savey.
(09/04 13:19:05) Doobes: So again, to reiterate, we’re on the Net 2 problem. We’re going to work to fix it ASAP.
(09/04 13:19:32) Doobes: They’re pretty much like MOULa: download the installer, run it, and for the most part, that’s all you need.
(09/04 13:19:47) Doobes: It’s easier since we can now distribute the files ourselves instead of leaching of Cyan’s server.
(09/04 13:19:57) Doobes: (file server, not game server!)
(09/04 13:20:23) Doobes: So yeah, please be patient. I know how frustrating the Net 2 bug is, but we will squash it with great justice as soon as we can. 😀
(09/04 13:20:30) ShilohOBrien: But the instructions for getting on the Dream Island shard have all these “rename file” instructions that don’t apply to whateever version of windows I have
(09/04 13:20:44) Doobes: Deep Island is more complicated because it hacks the offline game.
(09/04 13:20:55) ShilohOBrien: Ahh@
(09/04 13:20:56) Doobes: So yeah, that one requires a bit more effort.
(09/04 13:21:05) Doobes: Alright, so quickly as I can…
(09/04 13:21:18) Claidi Song leans left
(09/04 13:21:22) Doobes: The Guild of Writers released Korman 0.12a a few days ago!
(09/04 13:21:35) Doobes: For those unaware, Korman is the plugin we currently use to create Ages for MOULa.
(09/04 13:21:43) Claidi Song: Good to see you!
(09/04 13:21:58) Doobes: This iteration adds goodies like grass shaders and random sound mods to the mix, as well as a ton of lighting fixes.
(09/04 13:22:44) Doobes: For those that are code-savvy, you can see the Korman repo on GitHub. For discussion on the new plugin, you can go to https://forum.guildofwriters.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=7306
[Net2 error] (09/04 13:26:27) ShilohOBrien: One more Net2 and I’m bailing for supper
(09/04 13:26:46) Doobes: Well…this is “fun”, isn’t it? 😛
(09/04 13:26:51) Argo: oh, my KI is very screwed up
(09/04 13:26:56) cjherkeless: gonna be a fun log to edit
(09/04 13:27:03) ShilohOBrien: For a given value of “fun”.
(09/04 13:27:15) Doobes: Another thing to remember…if anyone is a member of DRC Hood 67…vacate it *immediately*!
(09/04 13:27:24) Doobes: Please also spread this to others.
(09/04 13:27:31) ScottMiller: ok, one more time and I’m throwing in the towel…
(09/04 13:27:32) rarified: Can you say “Groundhog Day?”
(09/04 13:27:49) ScottMiller: aleady did, Doobes!
(09/04 13:28:03) Doobes: You can either create your own hood by deleting the hood book and going to the Nexus or move to another hood by deleting the Hood Book and using another’s Hood Book on their Relto.
(09/04 13:28:27) Doobes: SO yeah, Korman 0.12a. Check it out! Hehehe.
(09/04 13:28:38) ScottMiller: This is cozy, Sharm :)!
(09/04 13:28:45) Doobes: To sum up…vacate DRC Hood 67, we’re on the problem, Korman new version.
(09/04 13:28:51) Frobozz: Is everyone getting these errors?
(09/04 13:28:57) Doobes: I had more, but I’ll step aside for someone else. 😀
(09/04 13:28:58) Doobes bows
(09/04 13:29:03) cjherkeless claps his hands
(09/04 13:29:03) Ro”Jethhe LONGS for the days before client updages.
(09/04 13:29:03) Aurelias claps her hands
(09/04 13:29:05) Minasunda claps her hands
(09/04 13:29:07) rarified claps his hands

(09/04 13:29:26) faunah claps his hands
(09/04 13:29:29) Frobozz: Not all at the same time?
(09/04 13:29:31) Argo: The issues may have been happening without updates anyways.
(09/04 13:29:33) Doobes: Note that we have no moderator, so anyone feel free to hop up there.
(09/04 13:29:40) Argo: it just took a long time to crop up
(09/04 13:29:47) Doobes: Yeah, we’ll find out why though.
(09/04 13:29:50) cjherkeless claps his hands
(09/04 13:29:56) rarified: Ok, condensed news from OU
(09/04 13:30:04) Doobes: It’s also related to the hood that filled up with all new avatars, so vacate DRC Hood 67!
(09/04 13:30:16) Ro”Jethhe roars with laughter
(09/04 13:30:18) rarified: This release cycle is Content. Content artists are busy at work on things, both
(09/04 13:30:27) rarified: big and small. And I do mean BIG. 😉
(09/04 13:30:28) Frobozz: Good to know.
(09/04 13:30:42) rarified: (Hint. Bring comfortable shoes.)
(09/04 13:31:02) rarified: Minkata (both shards) are where you can help with testing the new content.
(09/04 13:31:11) rarified: But you’ll be exposed to spoilers.
(09/04 13:31:42) rarified: We’re planning the next release to appear on MOULa before Christmas (likely late November).
(09/04 13:31:45) PodHopper: I see people 🙂
(09/04 13:31:55) rarified: That’s it. Questions?
(09/04 13:32:17) Frobozz: That’s an old hood.
(09/04 13:32:19) faunah claps his hands
(09/04 13:32:31) rarified bows
(09/04 13:32:34) shokhootahn Rehn claps his hands
(09/04 13:32:34) neurovac: May I ask – Can someone post an invite to the discord server? I’d be grateful.
(09/04 13:32:36) judyg claps her hands
(09/04 13:32:39) Eternal Seeker claps his hands
(09/04 13:32:41) Lu* claps her hands
(09/04 13:32:49) Korov’ev: While we’re on the topic of fan ages, I can give the usual update on the Fan Age Expeditions in the Deep Island shard.
(09/04 13:32:59) Korov’ev: after Rehn 🙂
(09/04 13:33:18) shokhootahn Rehn: :-))
(09/04 13:33:20) 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.
(09/04 13:33:27) shokhootahn Rehn: First, the language classes…
(09/04 13:33:33) darkwingduck leans left
(09/04 13:33:39) shokhootahn Rehn: There are evening classes available on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, starting at 20:00, 21:00 or 22:00 KI time, depending on the student’s schedule. There are daytime openings Monday through Friday, starting at either 12:00 KI time, 13:00 KI time, or 14:00 KI time, depending on the student’s schedule. Contact me by PM to set up a day and a time.
(09/04 13:33:41) SandDoone leans right
(09/04 13:33:55) shokhootahn Rehn: Though, daytime availability is subject to change with little or no notice.
(09/04 13:33:56) shokhootahn Rehn:
(09/04 13:34:09) shokhootahn Rehn: As always, current students can find last-minute updates to class times on the left-hand imager.
(09/04 13:34:15) neurovac: Openuru. I have Cyan :o)
(09/04 13:34:51) shokhootahn Rehn: Currently there are six students taking the classes and are at various stages of completion.
(09/04 13:34:52) shokhootahn Rehn:
(09/04 13:35:01) shokhootahn Rehn: The Guild of Instructors’ Hood will be open and public unless a class is in session.
(09/04 13:35:07) shokhootahn Rehn: Are there any questions?
(09/04 13:35:25) shokhootahn Rehn: Moving on…
(09/04 13:35:30) shokhootahn Rehn: The second announcement is about r’Taytahn’s Story Night.
(09/04 13:35:35) shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night – Europe is, currently, in synch with original Story Night.
(09/04 13:35:43) shokhootahn Rehn: We have started the story of the restoration. Today we are on part four of eight of the stories.
(09/04 13:35:55) shokhootahn Rehn: After that, there will be a special, five-part story of fan fiction that was written by an explorer named Janai. As of right now, I will be reading it alone during Story Night – Europe and will be assisted by axenna for original Story Night.
(09/04 13:36:16) shokhootahn Rehn: Afer that will be the bi-annual Bahr Glyph Tour as we tour all the Ages that contain Bahro glyphs. Some glyphs have explanations while others just generate more questions.
(09/04 13:36:41) shokhootahn Rehn: After that… we begin, again! Starting with the D’ni story of creation.
(09/04 13:36:48) shokhootahn Rehn: Yes, it’s from the *very* beginning! lol
(09/04 13:37:06) shokhootahn Rehn: I have given up on the idea of live-streaming Story Night, at least for now.
(09/04 13:37:11) shokhootahn Rehn: (a combination of hardware/software issues)
(09/04 13:37:19) darkwingduck waves hello
(09/04 13:37:22) shokhootahn Rehn: Unfortunately, those same hardware issues are preventing me from recording the stories and uploading them to my YouTube channel.
(09/04 13:37:41) shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night is held in the public neighborhood of Tsahno’s Hood every Saturday.
(09/04 13:37:58) 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.
(09/04 13:38:09) neurovac: Gratitude, Korov’ev
(09/04 13:38:21) 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.
(09/04 13:38:50) shokhootahn Rehn: *15 minutes after the AGM
(09/04 13:39:22) shokhootahn Rehn: (not sure how that 30 got in there – lol)
(09/04 13:39:27) shokhootahn Rehn: I also post changes on the left-hand imager in the hood.
(09/04 13:39:41) 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. 🙂
(09/04 13:39:42) Frobozz claps his hands
(09/04 13:39:49) shokhootahn Rehn: The stories are told using voice so you will need to have your speakers or headsets on.
(09/04 13:40:03) 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 so it must be added to the body of the text.
(09/04 13:40:31) shokhootahn Rehn: YOU *MUST* INCLUDE YOUR KI NUMBER IN THE BODY OF THE MAIL TO BE ADDED! (caps for emphasis, not for shouting)
(09/04 13:40:40) shokhootahn Rehn: Some have sent messages to be added but have not included their KI number so they were unable to be added.
(09/04 13:40:57) shokhootahn Rehn: With the increasing number of Net2s, if they occur during the story, and since we seem to be able to return almost immediately, I will continue the story about 5 minutes after the Net2, allowing for as many people to return as possible, first.
(09/04 13:41:33) judyg claps her hands
(09/04 13:41:36) shokhootahn Rehn: As a temporary workaround, until the Net2 issue is fixed, there will be a replay of SN-E at 13:00 KI the following week. Hopefully, that will only be required for a couple of weeks.
(09/04 13:41:56) shokhootahn Rehn: I will announce the start of he replay as I do the regularly scheduled story.
(09/04 13:42:07) shokhootahn Rehn: So far, Original Story Night has not had the Net2 issues that we experience during the day. If it does, there will also be a replay the following week.
(09/04 13:42:25) shokhootahn Rehn: We hope to see you there!
(09/04 13:42:30) shokhootahn Rehn: Any questions?
(09/04 13:42:51) shokhootahn Rehn bows

(09/04 13:43:29) Argo: your turn, Korov’
(09/04 13:43:32) Korov’ev: So, the usual update on the Fan Age Expeditions:
(09/04 13:43:40) Korov’ev: In August we explored two ages by by Jhon J. Jaguar: Tentsahveet, and the recently released Edereden;
(09/04 13:43:47) Korov’ev: then two ages by Semjay: Terahgrahm and Zahlto.
(09/04 13:43:54) Korov’ev: Lastly we started Kohdalan, by Corvus, Wodan, Itep Edor and other creators.
(09/04 13:44:05) Korov’ev: For September, the plan is finish Kohdalan; then we’ll begin the Path of the Lost Ages by Melvin, starting in Palamary bay.
(09/04 13:44:17) Korov’ev: There are only a few ages left! We’ll see what we’ll do after that 😉
(09/04 13:44:25) Korov’ev: The expeditions are on Sunday at 11:00 KIT, starting in the shard Hood (you can get there quickly with “/hood”).
(09/04 13:44:32) Korov’ev: There’s also a (mute) stream: https://www.twitch.tv/korovvannoort

(09/04 13:45:15) Doobes: Once again, I reiterate…if you or anyone you know is a member of DRC Hood 67, leave it ASAP. Thank you. 🙂
(09/04 13:45:16) Obelisk claps and crashes.
(09/04 13:45:35) Doobes: Hmm…dare I risk it?
(09/04 13:45:46) cjherkeless: what’s life without risk?
(09/04 13:45:48) Kayara: doobes: What is wrong with DRC Hood 67?
(09/04 13:45:48) Doobes: One more quick thing from me…and it’s rather exciting…
(09/04 13:45:54) judyg: go ahead dare
(09/04 13:46:02) Argo: 67 is overpop’d at around 1000 avvies
(09/04 13:46:03) ScottMiller: too many members
(09/04 13:46:12) Doobes: It’s overpopulated and related to the Net 2 crashes as far as we can tell.
(09/04 13:46:16) Argo: drc hoods shouldnt be hitting more than 20, the assignment system is busted
(09/04 13:46:33) Doobes: If we can depopulate as many people as we can, then Chogon will hopefully not have to do as much work when he gets back.
(09/04 13:46:39) Argo: as far as we can tell, the massive pop of the hood is causing the server backend to choke when it calls on that data
[Net2 error] (09/04 13:51:25) Argo: ill log any other announcements anyone else has to make
(09/04 13:51:25) TGMChrist: That’s enough with the Net2s
(09/04 13:51:33) shokhootahn Rehn: Amen!
(09/04 13:51:41) Argo: (this is Kelsei btw, my main KI isn’t working)
(09/04 13:52:20) Argo: so, uh, if anyone has anything else to announce, this is probably the time to do it.
(09/04 13:52:26) Lu*: it is the 1001Net2Night
(09/04 13:52:42) Minasunda: lol
(09/04 13:52:48) Cassis: lol
(09/04 13:53:09) Argo: uh, I guess if nobody else has anything else to announce…?
(09/04 13:53:43) Argo: Before the crash, Doobes was going to announce that…
(09/04 13:53:52) Babbeltje.40: shorah Lu
(09/04 13:53:59) Argo: Descent is Nearing Phase 1 final checks,
(09/04 13:54:09) Argo: and he will be opening a Github repo branch for it “Soon”
(09/04 13:54:40) Argo: as a reminder, Descent is going through a 5 phase system, with phase 1 being “Near identical to Myst 5” and Phase 5 being “Final Release in MOULa”
(09/04 13:54:57) Argo: uh… so yes, hype there.
(09/04 13:54:59) Korov’ev: ah, so not the DRC phases
(09/04 13:55:06) Argo: a slight deviation from them, yes
(09/04 13:55:14) Argo: due to the unique nature of Descent’s process
(09/04 13:55:37) Argo: does anyone else have any other announcements?
(09/04 13:55:48) Argo: last call,
(09/04 13:56:06) Korov’ev: a reminder: Friday 24 is Myst anniversary 🙂
(09/04 13:56:25) Argo: oh! yes! and if you haven’t checked it out yet, MYST for PC/VR has finally released
(09/04 13:56:47) ScottMiller: where can you get it?
(09/04 13:56:49) Scharminius: no Net 2’s there…
(09/04 13:56:52) Lu* claps her hands
(09/04 13:56:56) Argo: umm… Steam and GOG and XBOX live pass?
(09/04 13:56:58) Argo: game pass?
(09/04 13:57:05) Argo: whatever the XBOX system is called
(09/04 13:57:08) Korov’ev: also Epic and Apple Store
(09/04 13:57:12) Argo: Those too!
(09/04 13:57:30) Argo: did it drop on playstation?
(09/04 13:57:40) Argo: im not sure on that one.
(09/04 13:57:46) Korov’ev: a patch was just released with an official option to the old FMV characters
(09/04 13:58:10) Kayara cheers
(09/04 13:58:13) Argo: yep! if you’re not a fan of cgi avvies, most of the FMVs have been restored in a lot of those cases
(09/04 13:58:32) Argo: note this doesnt include the endings, where the avvies are ‘live acted’
(09/04 13:58:37) Argo: and not pre-recorded
(09/04 13:58:37) ScottMiller: FMV?
(09/04 13:58:42) Argo: Full Motion Video?
(09/04 13:58:46) Korov’ev: yep
(09/04 13:58:53) Argo: the videos that play in the book panels
(09/04 13:58:55) ScottMiller: ah..
(09/04 13:59:11) Argo: okay, so, if nobody else has any other announcements
(09/04 13:59:15) Argo: *last last call* for that?
(09/04 13:59:37) Argo looks around
(09/04 13:59:44) Argo: …nobody?
(09/04 13:59:50) judyg: i have a question
(09/04 13:59:53) Argo: sure!
(09/04 13:59:58) judyg: probably a stupid one
(09/04 14:00:04) Argo: ask anyways 🙂
(09/04 14:00:17) Minasunda: nothing until the net2 war is solved lol
(09/04 14:00:28) judyg: earlier was mentioned to get out of drc hood 67 if you are a member
(09/04 14:00:35) ScottMiller wishes Iwonk was here..We could use some of her famous anti-net2 cookies…
(09/04 14:00:37) Argo: yes,
(09/04 14:00:38) judyg: how do i know if i’m a member?
(09/04 14:00:44) Argo: right now?
(09/04 14:00:49) PodHopper: open ki
(09/04 14:00:52) Argo: open your KI, look at bottom of screen
(09/04 14:00:54) PodHopper: gears icon
(09/04 14:00:59) PodHopper: then …Hood
(09/04 14:01:02) Argo: it’ll say ‘member of HOOD NAME’
(09/04 14:01:05) neurovac: Not a dumb question, I think.
(09/04 14:01:19) Argo: for more accurate pop check, check the gear icon, and hood settings as PodHopper described 🙂
(09/04 14:01:28) Kayara: Not a dumb question at all!
(09/04 14:01:31) judyg: ok, but i can only be a member of one hood at a time?
(09/04 14:01:35) Argo: yes,
(09/04 14:01:38) PodHopper: number of people is also important
(09/04 14:01:40) shokhootahn Rehn: judy, w\bottom right-hand corner of your KI tells you to what neighborhood you belong
(09/04 14:01:46) shokhootahn Rehn: *bottom
(09/04 14:01:51) TGMChrist: My says e.g. German NULP’s Hood
(09/04 14:01:52) judyg: cool. so it’s not me causing NET2
(09/04 14:01:55) Argo: calum has told me he thinks that around 300 is probably the ‘safe’ limit for a crowded hood
(09/04 14:02:06) Argo: but that’s conjecture still,
(09/04 14:02:22) Argo: at any rate, 67 is near 1000 avvies, and it’s very likely the major culprit of data clogging at the moment
(09/04 14:02:27) judyg: my hood has only my name on it
(09/04 14:02:28) neurovac: 1000 is.. stunning.
(09/04 14:02:30) Thumbs up from Argo
(09/04 14:02:35) Argo: yes, stunning!
(09/04 14:02:37) Thumbs up from shokhootahn Rehn
(09/04 14:02:37) Korov’ev: besides, more custom hoods is fun 😉
(09/04 14:02:39) judyg: 1000 is a LOT!
(09/04 14:02:48) Argo: if it weren’t the fault of the faulty assignment code, it’d be very impressive
(09/04 14:03:08) neurovac: Nothing quite as impressive as a good bug
(09/04 14:03:20) Argo: so yes, with that reminder of ‘please leave 67 if you are a member’
(09/04 14:03:26) Argo: i think we’ll close this AGM
(09/04 14:03:31) Kayara claps her hands
(09/04 14:03:34) neurovac claps his hands
(09/04 14:03:35) DecafToaster claps his hands
(09/04 14:03:35) judyg: can’t that hood just be deleted?
(09/04 14:03:39) TGMChrist claps his hands
(09/04 14:03:40) Argo: Thank you all for coming and putting through the mess
(09/04 14:03:42) neurovac: <3 all
(09/04 14:03:43) Eternal Seeker claps his hands
(09/04 14:03:43) Lu* claps her hands
(09/04 14:03:43) faunah claps his hands
(09/04 14:03:44) judyg claps her hands
(09/04 14:03:48) Argo thanks you very much!
(09/04 14:03:49) Scharminius claps his hands
(09/04 14:03:50) Minasunda claps her hands
(09/04 14:03:52) ScottMiller: my avatar, Puck, is a member of DRC(28) (I have a private hood after escaping 67) which has just under 450 which I thought was safe..
(09/04 14:03:56) Babbeltje.40 claps her hands
(09/04 14:03:57) Anatheia claps her hands
(09/04 14:04:09) Argo: it’s a matter of the avvies in it at this stage,
(09/04 14:04:09) ScottMiller: maybe not now…
(09/04 14:04:14) Argo: Those avvies will have to go somewhere
(09/04 14:04:25) Argo: i’d say 450 is towing the line,
(09/04 14:04:30) Korov’ev: deleting stuff from the Vault is a Bad Thing
(09/04 14:04:38) Argo: nothing really gets deleted, anyways
(09/04 14:04:40) judyg: but aren’t there avvies who come and play, join a hood, then leave?
(09/04 14:04:45) Ehren: Technically an avatar can be hoodless, but it messes up the city book links
(09/04 14:04:52) shokhootahn Rehn: So, are we done, here? Does anyone have any more announcements?
(09/04 14:05:04) Argo: for the avvies that are technically idle and absent, we’re considering measures to move them ourselves
(09/04 14:05:24) Argo: but so as to not risk catching active avvies, we’re recommending the manual movement of yourselves
(09/04 14:05:31) judyg: that may be a good idea argo
(09/04 14:05:36) TGMChrist: Well I say bye to all before the Net2 happen again. cya
(09/04 14:05:40) TGMChrist salutes
(09/04 14:05:44) DecafToaster: I imagine there are a lot of folks who won’t be coming back to move.
(09/04 14:05:49) Kayara: Bye TGM
(09/04 14:05:53) Eternal Seeker: Ok time for Storynight I think
(09/04 14:05:56) Argo: yes, for sure,
(09/04 14:06:00) Argo: Thank you all for coming
(09/04 14:06:06) DecafToaster: I agree, ES. Thank you, Argo!
