(09/28 21:05:13) Calum Traveler: sensible
(09/28 21:05:27) Jules Lavisham: Do they drop off the nexus sometimes?
(09/28 21:05:38) [BUDDIES] From Calum Traveler in Great Tree's(3) Hood: town hall is in 15 minutes, for anyone attending.
(09/28 21:05:44) Calum Traveler: sometimes, yes
(09/28 21:05:48) Calum Traveler: board only shows so many hoods
(09/28 21:05:58) Calum Traveler: if more hoods are active, less active ones fall off
(09/28 21:06:06) Calum Traveler: only GoGreeters hood is 'pinned' as it were.
(09/28 21:06:19) Jules Lavisham: Hm. Handy to know, that.
(09/28 21:06:30) Jules Lavisham: Glad I joined now
(09/28 21:06:33) Calum Traveler:
(09/28 21:06:48) Calum Traveler: yeah, Mystlander's had to pull out of the Rei'schu stuff for the moment due to surface obligations.
(09/28 21:06:52) NoMore waves hello
(09/28 21:07:00) Calum Traveler waves hello
(09/28 21:07:01) Jules Lavisham: Shorah everyone!

(09/28 21:07:36) Superabbit: Shorah
(09/28 21:07:47) Jules Lavisham: We have actually given some consideration to moving it back ten minutes to hit the half past start
(09/28 21:07:57) Calum Traveler: we'll do a vote about that today
(09/28 21:07:59) Jules Lavisham: Nice round time and all
(09/28 21:08:16) Superabbit: I'm kinda new, what is the purpose of the Town Hall Meeting?
(09/28 21:08:51) Jules Lavisham: Glad you're joining us for the first time, Superabbit!
(09/28 21:08:56) Calum Traveler: town halls are meant to be recaps of ongoing events,
(09/28 21:09:49) Red Gunner: It's all an illusion, lol
(09/28 21:09:50) Superabbit: Different from AGM?
(09/28 21:09:57) Calum Traveler: similar to the All Guilds Meets on the first saturdays of each month,
(09/28 21:10:00) Calum Traveler: but different, yes
(09/28 21:10:09) Thumbs up from Superabbit
(09/28 21:10:32) [BUDDIES] To Buddies: Town Hall starting in ten minutes in the Great Tree Hood! There may be biscuits also.
(09/28 21:10:42) Calum Traveler: AGMs focus on upcoming events, meanwhile Town Halls focus mostly on previous events,
(09/28 21:10:51) Superabbit: Got it
(09/28 21:11:04) Superabbit: Question before the meeting starts
(09/28 21:11:09) Jules Lavisham: Go for it
(09/28 21:11:50) Superabbit: Is it okay to post links to my music site on my Hood imager?
(09/28 21:12:08) Calum Traveler: many folks advertise on their hood imagers,
(09/28 21:12:19) Superabbit: Okay, great
(09/28 21:12:42) Jules Lavisham: Hey there Tenny!
(09/28 21:12:47) Tiernan Quinlan: Shorah all!
(09/28 21:12:48) Jules Lavisham waves hello
(09/28 21:12:48) Superabbit: Part of my motivation for having a Musicians Guild Hood
(09/28 21:13:01) Tiernan Quinlan waves hello
(09/28 21:13:03) Calum Traveler: shorah, tenny
(09/28 21:13:07) Jules Lavisham: Musician's Guild Hood, you say
(09/28 21:13:14) Superabbit: Indeed, yes
(09/28 21:13:20) Superabbit: It's a thing
(09/28 21:13:22) Tiernan Quinlan: How is ever'one t'day?
(09/28 21:13:49) Jules Lavisham: Keeping busy. New semester on the surface
(09/28 21:13:50) Calum Traveler: tired, got another meeting after town hall
(09/28 21:13:57) Calum Traveler: i think we're also doing some QNA today too?
(09/28 21:14:14) Superabbit: I didn't know, but there was a minor Guild, Guild of Musicians
(09/28 21:14:15) Jules Lavisham: Yeah, why not Cal
(09/28 21:14:52) Calum Traveler: shorah, murry,

(09/28 21:15:20) Cygna: shorah
(09/28 21:15:27) Robert Murry: Very fine and you Dr. Lavisham?
(09/28 21:15:28) Jules Lavisham: Shorah Cygna
(09/28 21:15:45) Robert Murry: Shorah everybody
(09/28 21:15:46) Ereshkigal: Hi Cygna and others! Hi ules!!
(09/28 21:15:50) Ereshkigal: *Jules
(09/28 21:15:57) Ereshkigal: Hy Murry!
(09/28 21:15:57) Jules Lavisham: Keeping busy. As I was saying to Tenny, new semester at the Uni. Back on the teaching duties.
(09/28 21:16:05) Jules Lavisham: Shorah Ereshkigal
(09/28 21:16:19) Ereshkigal: What do you teach again, Jules?
(09/28 21:16:25) NoMore: so you got me here for so talk with a bunch of dudes this time ALotOf...?
(09/28 21:16:26) ALotOf: It's 'negotiations with the people of Reischu' NoMore... but not only... come on be a bit curious to learn something new...
(09/28 21:16:35) Jules Lavisham: Classical Civilizations, Eresh
(09/28 21:16:48) Robert Murry: I honestly can say that I don't miss that.
(09/28 21:17:07) Ereshkigal: ooh, beautiful, Jules!
(09/28 21:17:23) Jules Lavisham: Been trying to get a syllabus on this place going for years. Never quite managed to get it off the ground.
(09/28 21:17:44) Tiernan Quinlan: I've been busy tryin' t' make my hood clean enough to make grandmama happy. Heh.
(09/28 21:17:49) Tiernan Quinlan chuckles.
(09/28 21:17:51) Jules Lavisham: The whole business in 2007 spooked the higher-ups a bit. Not too enthusiastic about having students down here.
(09/28 21:17:52) angelmyst: hiya
(09/28 21:18:22) Tiernan Quinlan: Aside from helpin' folks with th' inevitable bumps and bruises tha' explorin' brings.
(09/28 21:18:27) Robert Murry: Let me know if I can help you with that Jules.
(09/28 21:18:31) Ereshkigal: I can imagine it's difficult to get enugh people interested in D'ni history. D'ni is an ut-of-the-way place, and quite literally not really part f human history
(09/28 21:18:46) Tiernan Quinlan: Aye!
(09/28 21:18:51) NoMore: what were you up to anyhow, ALotOf... havent seen you around in a while...
(09/28 21:18:52) ALotOf: some 2003 game engine disassembly analyze, to hopefulle be able to mod some game data,,,
(09/28 21:19:57) Robert Murry: So Tenny, when is your grandmother arriving?
(09/28 21:20:22) NoMore: and?
(09/28 21:20:23) ALotOf: well got somewhere... can cut the game level files into it's components, but not yet make out what the data in each container is, NoMore...
(09/28 21:20:33) Tiernan Quinlan: Around th' 7th, I'm thinkin'. She's driving out from Sedona.
(09/28 21:20:39) Jules Lavisham: Right, we're due to start at twenty past, but we a nice burst of arrivals last month nearer the half past mark, so I'll give it a few more
(09/28 21:20:50) Calum Traveler: ah, jules beat me to it
(09/28 21:20:51) Calum Traveler: lol
(09/28 21:21:31) NoMore: so hope to play some real games with you soon, ALotOf...
(09/28 21:21:32) ALotOf: will be ready, NoMore...
(09/28 21:21:34) Calum Traveler: As a reminder, previous chatlogs of other townhalls can be found on our webforums,
(09/28 21:21:44) Calum Traveler: viewforum.php?f=8
(09/28 21:22:02) Jules Lavisham: Along with other assorted goings on
(09/28 21:22:37) Ereshkigal: Are you stuck, Aurelias?
(09/28 21:23:09) Jules Lavisham has a quick last minute flick through of his notes
(09/28 21:23:18) NoMore: Hi Stuck
(09/28 21:23:20) ALotOf: lol
(09/28 21:24:36) Calum Traveler gets a drink of water quickly...
(09/28 21:25:31) Jules Lavisham: Shorah IwonK!
(09/28 21:25:51) Robert Murry: Shorah Iwonk
(09/28 21:25:53) Tiernan Quinlan: Oh, my favorite cookie maker is here!
(09/28 21:26:03) Jules Lavisham: Heh
(09/28 21:26:09) Calum Traveler: shorah, iwonk
(09/28 21:26:14) Robert Murry: My favorite Scotch theif is here.
(09/28 21:26:37) Jules Lavisham: Yes, that reminds me Robert, must give the cabinet in Chiso a replenish
(09/28 21:26:42) Calum Traveler: yeah, i think the vote we have for today is a good idea, Jules.
(09/28 21:26:56) Jules Lavisham: Agreed. It makes sense.
(09/28 21:26:59) angelmyst: Is there information on the descendants of the D'ni who made it to the surface? can you send me a link in a KI mail if you have anything.
(09/28 21:27:01) Robert Murry: At least she leaves cookies behind.
(09/28 21:27:18) Tiernan Quinlan chuckles.
(09/28 21:27:20) Calum Traveler: we dont really have much on anyone specific, angelmyst,
(09/28 21:27:24) Calum Traveler: atleast, im not aware of anything
(09/28 21:27:34) angelmyst: Been doing some research for my next adventure...and finding some D'ni descendants would be wild
(09/28 21:27:44) Robert Murry: Yes Jules. My nephew should be getting in his supply from Zandi soon.
(09/28 21:27:48) NoMore: descendant cookies?
(09/28 21:28:00) ALotOf: hope not.
(09/28 21:28:04) Jules Lavisham: Definitely an interesting subject, angelmyst. If anything turns up in my own reading, I'll drop you a line.
(09/28 21:28:06) Calum Traveler blinks, having misheard 'dancestor' for a moment...
(09/28 21:28:12) angelmyst: great.
(09/28 21:28:17) Calum Traveler shakes head and gets mind out of the fandom gutters...
(09/28 21:28:19) Tiernan Quinlan: Aye, Angel! I'd definitely like to talk to some medical folks about D'ni medicine!
(09/28 21:28:46) Tiernan Quinlan: My own research has kind of gotten side-lined with how busy things have been lately.
(09/28 21:28:46) Jules Lavisham: Right, couple more minutes for the stragglers.
(09/28 21:28:59) angelmyst: A lot of the medicine is similar to that of the Native Americans...so I have been lead to understnad.
(09/28 21:29:09) Calum Traveler: i think we can probably go over the ground rules though
(09/28 21:29:12) cameo: straggler here!
(09/28 21:29:24) Calum Traveler: as always, yall know the AGM Rules, and we run something similar.
(09/28 21:29:26) Tiernan Quinlan: Aye, aye! It's wonderful, actually! I studied some Navajo medicine when I was at ASU.
(09/28 21:29:40) ALotOf salutes
(09/28 21:29:40) NoMore salutes
(09/28 21:29:44) Calum Traveler: big one is dont press the blue button,
(09/28 21:29:54) Thumbs up from Tiernan Quinlan
(09/28 21:30:04) angelmyst: I am a student of NAtural medicine...and have found many helps in Native wriitings.
(09/28 21:30:05) Superabbit: I actually don't know the AGM rules, but I'll keep my mouth shut until I know it's okay
(09/28 21:30:09) Calum Traveler: ah,
(09/28 21:30:12) Calum Traveler: a refresher then
(09/28 21:30:18) Calum Traveler: the standard AGM rules are:
(09/28 21:30:52) Calum Traveler: "Let the speakers speak uncontested, try to keep chatter to a minimum, forwards questions to the Moderator" me, in this case. "and dont press the blue button."
(09/28 21:31:09) Calum Traveler: we're a bit looser though,
(09/28 21:31:23) Calum Traveler: seriously, just dont press the blue button lol
(09/28 21:31:29) Jules Lavisham: Yeah, we tend to run a reasonably relaxed ship around here.
(09/28 21:31:40) Calum Traveler: shall we start, jules?
(09/28 21:31:44) Superabbit: I guess I shouldn't press the blue button....
(09/28 21:31:56) Jules Lavisham: Yes, I reckon now will do it.
(09/28 21:32:12) Jules Lavisham: Shorah everybody, and welcome to number four in our explorer Town Halls!
(09/28 21:32:47) Jules Lavisham: Hope you're all doing well and got the most out of the summer warmth while it was still around.
(09/28 21:33:05) Calum Traveler: what do you mean? It's still summer weather on the surface where i am.
(09/28 21:33:12) Calum Traveler: high 70s.
(09/28 21:33:19) cameo:
(09/28 21:33:20) Calum Traveler sweats a bit just thinking about it...
(09/28 21:33:28) cameo: not hot enough for me
(09/28 21:33:34) Calum Traveler hopes for some cooler weather...
(09/28 21:33:37) Jules Lavisham: The UK is envious, I can assure you Cal.
(09/28 21:33:47) Calum Traveler: fair,
(09/28 21:33:48) Tiernan Quinlan: Heh. Same f' those of us from Arizona, I'd say.
(09/28 21:33:49) NoMore: rainy...
(09/28 21:33:50) ALotOf: days...
(09/28 21:33:58) Jules Lavisham: So, we've done our usual recap of the rules,
(09/28 21:34:13) cameo: and mondays always bring me down
(09/28 21:34:25) Jules Lavisham: and as with the previous TH's, transcripts will be posted to the Beneath forums for future reference.
(09/28 21:34:45) ALotOf: mondays?
(09/28 21:34:46) Jules Lavisham: Right, all that said, let's crack on.
(09/28 21:34:50) cameo shutting up now
(09/28 21:34:57) NoMore: hehe...
(09/28 21:35:07) Jules Lavisham: We've recently had a check in with Benavud,
(09/28 21:35:18) Tiernan Quinlan nods his head
(09/28 21:35:24) Jules Lavisham: who as is my understanding recently visited Kadish Tolesa with several explorers
(09/28 21:35:42) Jules Lavisham: Let me see... D'ni Seeker 5,Isa Mouski and Mystlander.
(09/28 21:35:50) NoMore: is he cool? he is I hope...
(09/28 21:36:15) Jules Lavisham: According to their accounts, he was much more familiar with this age than the others he's visited thus far.
(09/28 21:36:38) Jules Lavisham: Notably, he remembers having a friend travel with him there,
(09/28 21:36:48) Ereshkigal: Has he remembered anything more since? I also saw him remembering some songs at Fil's some time ago
(09/28 21:36:56) Tiernan Quinlan nods his head
(09/28 21:37:01) Jules Lavisham: although he doesn't seem to remember anything about the friend in question when asked about it.
(09/28 21:37:18) Tiernan Quinlan: No description, Jules?
(09/28 21:37:25) Calum Traveler: Ben's memory regarding his amnesia might be heavily trauma related, i fear.
(09/28 21:37:26) Tiernan Quinlan: Hair, eye color? Height?
(09/28 21:37:30) Jules Lavisham: Afraid not, Tenny.
(09/28 21:37:33) Tiernan Quinlan sighs.
(09/28 21:37:49) Jules Lavisham: Still, does represent a potential lead to be followed up.
(09/28 21:37:52) Tiernan Quinlan: I wonder if I might be able to help him with tha'.
(09/28 21:37:57) Calum Traveler: anything that seems to be a shakeup from what he considers 'normal' seems terrifying to him, last I talked with Ben...
(09/28 21:38:07) Calum Traveler: though, considering the *last* time I talked with Ben....
(09/28 21:38:12) Calum Traveler glances at Tenny meaningfully
(09/28 21:38:19) Tiernan Quinlan nods his head
(09/28 21:38:29) Tiernan Quinlan: Poor Ben. I've not seen him since.
(09/28 21:38:45) Jules Lavisham: I myself recently visited the basement of the CIty Library with Ben
(09/28 21:39:02) Calum Traveler: i think that was a bit before the next bit, which... we'll get to,
(09/28 21:39:07) Jules Lavisham: Just to see if anything could be jogged loose in respect of this friend,
(09/28 21:39:14) Jules Lavisham: or indeed anything else.
(09/28 21:39:25) Jules Lavisham: Unfortuntately nothing turned up there as of yet,
(09/28 21:39:33) Jules Lavisham: although we're going to keep trying.
(09/28 21:39:33) Calum Traveler: unfortunate, but not surprising,
(09/28 21:39:47) Calum Traveler: i have a feeling the library may not have anything to do with his friend, all things considered.
(09/28 21:39:51) Jules Lavisham: Mm. No stone unturned and all that business.
(09/28 21:39:52) Calum Traveler: just a gut hunch,
(09/28 21:39:56) ALotOf: well that sounds interesting Jules... back to the place where he was found... anything?
(09/28 21:40:14) Jules Lavisham: Nothing as of yet, ALotOf, although there is definitely more ground to cover there.
(09/28 21:40:14) ALotOf: ah okay sorry... but still interesting...
(09/28 21:40:41) Calum Traveler: as for the last thing regarding Ben...
(09/28 21:40:42) Calum Traveler sighs
(09/28 21:40:49) Calum Traveler: well, I guess there's no short way around it.
(09/28 21:40:57) Calum Traveler: Ben had a second DNA test done,
(09/28 21:41:12) Tiernan Quinlan nods his head
(09/28 21:41:14) Calum Traveler: if you were there at the GoMePub a couple weeks ago when Tenny got the results in....
(09/28 21:41:17) NoMore: what's so interesting about 'not memorizing' counter 'memoryzing' ALotOf...?
(09/28 21:41:17) ALotOf: I'll explain you later, NoMore...
(09/28 21:41:19) Calum Traveler lets the Doctor explain...
(09/28 21:41:26) cameo: it still bugs me why he didn't want to see the spheres turn in anonay. wierd. he kept putting it off, or changed the subject. thoughts?
(09/28 21:41:55) Tiernan Quinlan: Well, th' long an' short of it is tha' Ben is 100% D'ni. He's not happy about this, though I've no idea why.
(09/28 21:42:13) Tiernan Quinlan: So approach th' subject delicately with him. Please.
(09/28 21:42:21) Calum Traveler: i cant say for certain, cameo, could be he was tired- I know I was after the long trip through that age.
(09/28 21:42:37) Calum Traveler: yeah, Ben seems... very tense about being D'ni, for some reason,
(09/28 21:42:45) Tiernan Quinlan nods his head
(09/28 21:42:47) Calum Traveler: I suspect there's some burried trauma that's related to that.
(09/28 21:42:49) angelmyst: Ahnonay....annoying fits it well
(09/28 21:42:50) Jules Lavisham: It's a lot to process.
(09/28 21:43:02) Calum Traveler: we know he doesnt like the Journey doors,
(09/28 21:43:12) Calum Traveler: and that's an extreme reaction to say the least.
(09/28 21:43:26) cameo: he really seemed to enjoy the visit, until.......
(09/28 21:43:37) Calum Traveler: so yeah, sensitive subject, best to just keep treating Ben like any other explorer.
(09/28 21:43:54) Calum Traveler: i think he's concerned we'd treat him differently just because of heritage, or whatnot,
(09/28 21:43:59) Jules Lavisham: Absolutely. Regardless of who he is and where he came from,
(09/28 21:44:05) Jules Lavisham: he remains one of us.
(09/28 21:44:08) Calum Traveler: but honestly, just because ive got some scottish DNA in me doesnt mean im from scottland, for example.
(09/28 21:44:13) cameo: hope he's well. be nice to see him again
(09/28 21:44:23) Calum Traveler: hopefully he'll drop in at some point and check in with us.
(09/28 21:44:43) Tiernan Quinlan nods his head

[Jules Lavisham]

09/28 21:44:46) Calum Traveler: onto lighter topics then, Jules?
(09/28 21:44:55) angelmyst: Scottish DNA....lol. You are human...not the same as BEn being D'ni.
(09/28 21:44:57) Jules Lavisham: Yes, absolutely.
(09/28 21:45:12) Jules Lavisham: We've recently had the age of Eder Naybree released,
(09/28 21:45:19) NoMore: true angelmyst!
(09/28 21:45:21) Calum Traveler: Yep! I'm glad to see folks are enjoying it,
(09/28 21:45:37) Calum Traveler: PodHopper's built up a clock on his website tracking the sunrise and sunset,
(09/28 21:45:38) ALotOf: but then... who are we humans after all...?
(09/28 21:45:41) Jules Lavisham: It was quite heartening see the number of explorers at last night's Relaxation Session sporting the green hoodie.
(09/28 21:45:50) angelmyst: whose bright ide was it to put the credit /ty book waaaaay up there!!!
(09/28 21:45:52) Red Gunner: Been there, got the t-shirt. lol
(09/28 21:45:58) Calum Traveler chuckles to self...
(09/28 21:46:06) Calum Traveler: oh, it was a team effort, angelmyst
(09/28 21:46:13) angelmyst starts to laugh
(09/28 21:46:21) angelmyst: ty teeam
(09/28 21:46:25) Jules Lavisham: Been quite fascinating to dip back into the history surrounding the age
(09/28 21:46:30) Calum Traveler: regardless, there's a lot of stuff in Naybree,
(09/28 21:46:33) cameo: no spoilers. i've yet to fet it before judyg does
(09/28 21:46:47) Calum Traveler: Kelsei's left a journal there depicting a lot of lore regarding the age, but i'll touch on the basic highlights,
(09/28 21:46:52) Calum Traveler: nothing too spoilerly
(09/28 21:47:06) angelmyst: there is a marker mission floating around if you get tired of swimming
(09/28 21:47:12) cameo has ideas
(09/28 21:47:26) Calum Traveler: Essentially, what we know about Eder Naybree is that the age was written as a retirement gift for a prominent Guild Master at one point,
(09/28 21:47:31) Tiernan Quinlan: Oh, I must make another trip as soon as I can.
(09/28 21:47:46) Calum Traveler: after some time, the age was bounced around some private collections before winding up in a public library, sometime before the Fall.
(09/28 21:47:48) angelmyst is ready to retire
(09/28 21:47:52) ALotOf: Oh I'd might have a funny 'photopic' about the 'who brough up the credit book up there' ... could post it on discord with a spoiler mark when gimp edited... lol
(09/28 21:48:14) Calum Traveler: During the Fall...
(09/28 21:48:25) Calum Traveler: as you know, many D'ni attempted to save themselves by using Age Books,
(09/28 21:48:34) Calum Traveler: one such survivor was a young girl, Athsheba,
(09/28 21:48:50) Calum Traveler: she was very young, it needs stating.
(09/28 21:49:01) Calum Traveler: we arent sure how young, but id personally wager around 10ish,
(09/28 21:49:12) Calum Traveler: maybe younger.
(09/28 21:49:25) Calum Traveler: she spent a LOT of time in Naybree,
(09/28 21:49:34) Calum Traveler: you'll find a few artifacts of hers left behind there,
(09/28 21:49:37) Calum Traveler: carvings, paintings,
(09/28 21:49:41) angelmyst: are some of the drawings hers?
(09/28 21:49:48) angelmyst: ah..lol
(09/28 21:49:52) Calum Traveler: yes, the drawings are hers,
(09/28 21:50:01) Calum Traveler: one set depicts the Fall, and her Exile to Naybree,
(09/28 21:50:05) Calum Traveler: the other is...
(09/28 21:50:21) Calum Traveler: so the thing to keep in mind is that Athsheba's family were stewards of the Rei'schu age,
(09/28 21:50:31) ALotOf: she didn't come alone due to the pics, was it? or was she imagining someone coming with her...?
(09/28 21:50:52) Calum Traveler: at one point in their family history, they ran a cult of sorts, based on the Age's religion
(09/28 21:51:07) Calum Traveler: the other set of drawings there depicts an origin story, of sorts, for the main figure in it- Chezahcen.
(09/28 21:51:27) Calum Traveler: ALotOf according to the journal Athsheba left in the Cathedral Island her family once called home, someone sent her there, a woman, but didn't follow.
(09/28 21:52:05) Calum Traveler: we dont know why the woman didn't follow through, who she was, or why she was running around saving people during the Fall,
(09/28 21:52:13) ALotOf: ah okay... thanks... so fully a childs fantasy... explains something...
(09/28 21:52:45) Calum Traveler: but Athsheba wouldnt have survived without the woman's involvement,
(09/28 21:53:13) Calum Traveler: as far as we can tell, that woman did send her through the Age book to Naybree, and hid the book afterwards.
(09/28 21:53:44) Calum Traveler: according to the notes we reviewed from the DRC archive regarding Naybree's linking book, it wasn't found in the library it was said to be hosted in.
(09/28 21:53:53) Calum Traveler shrugs
(09/28 21:54:13) Calum Traveler: who knows why this woman did what she did, it's a bit of a mystery.
(09/28 21:54:34) cameo: good-hearted
(09/28 21:54:36) Jules Lavisham: Certainly actions that are to be commended, though.
(09/28 21:54:44) Calum Traveler nods
(09/28 21:55:07) Calum Traveler: without her efforts, how we discovered the Rei'schu book would have gone very differently.
(09/28 21:55:09) NoMore: Hmm... how's Atheba doing now... if she's still alive... you know all that D'ni history one looses track who lives and is history...
(09/28 21:55:30) Calum Traveler: from what we know, according to her granddaughter, she's still on Rei'schu,
(09/28 21:55:39) Calum Traveler: but Athsheba doesnt want to talk about anything relating to D'ni,
(09/28 21:55:50) Calum Traveler: cant blame her, honestly.
(09/28 21:56:13) Jules Lavisham: Mm. Not something I would want to relive, that's for sure.
(09/28 21:56:20) Calum Traveler: aye.
(09/28 21:56:27) Calum Traveler: moving away from that topic for a moment
(09/28 21:56:34) Calum Traveler: Highgarden is releasing this October,
(09/28 21:56:43) Calum Traveler: October 1st, 12:30 KI time.
(09/28 21:56:45) ALotOf cheers
(09/28 21:56:48) NoMore cheers
(09/28 21:56:50) Calum Traveler: right before the AGM
(09/28 21:56:50) Superabbit cheers
(09/28 21:57:04) cameo: sweet!
(09/28 21:57:05) Calum Traveler: i believe Keith is coming to Chiso right after work to do the release.
(09/28 21:57:29) Calum Traveler: Eder Bahvahnter.... for those aware, it's a garden age tied to Elonin,
(09/28 21:57:36) Calum Traveler: we believe it'll be ready by December, at the earliest,
(09/28 21:58:06) NoMore: they found another one of these linking books, ALotOf?
(09/28 21:58:06) ALotOf: The 'restored the ages' and then 'offered the linking books to the public', NoMore. Something different...
(09/28 21:58:16) Calum Traveler: speaking of December, and back to Naybree
(09/28 21:58:18) Calum Traveler: I've also picked up some decorative Crystals for placing on and around the fountain come December. That should be festive enough for most folks!
(09/28 21:58:30) Calum Traveler: just, make sure to leave them be,
(09/28 21:58:33) Ereshkigal: Oooh, loking forward to it!
(09/28 21:58:45) Calum Traveler: they're from Rei'schu, and are very vocal...
(09/28 21:58:52) Calum Traveler: getting them setup right is a bit of a chore.
(09/28 21:59:10) Calum Traveler: there'll also be some banners to go up as well,
(09/28 21:59:12) angelmyst: nice
(09/28 21:59:17) ALotOf: a choir
(09/28 21:59:25) Calum Traveler: i wont say much else, but that fountain should look like a tree in a few months
(09/28 21:59:32) Ereshkigal: Will the crystals be okay in the Cavern?
(09/28 21:59:33) Superabbit: No Santa hat on the rock face
(09/28 21:59:43) Jules Lavisham: Should give the place a little bit of festivity
(09/28 21:59:51) Calum Traveler: Rei'schu's crystals are more... stable than the Vertigo Crystals that gave me some trouble
(09/28 21:59:58) Calum Traveler: Vertigo, being an age I wrote myself,
(09/28 22:00:01) Ereshkigal: Ha, I'd hope so!
(09/28 22:00:10) Calum Traveler: they're similar in nature, but Rei'schu's are...
(09/28 22:00:13) Calum Traveler: lemme put it this way
(09/28 22:00:21) Calum Traveler: in comparison, Vertigo Crystals are like infants.
(09/28 22:00:53) Calum Traveler: and speaking of Rei'schu...
(09/28 22:01:01) Jules Lavisham: Ah yes
(09/28 22:01:08) Calum Traveler: as you know, we've been planning for a diplomatic mission there.
(09/28 22:01:09) Calum Traveler: We're hoping to have the excursion in October, to that end I've generated a Discord channel where you all can watch us do our preparations and finalize the scheduling and such.
(09/28 22:01:19) Calum Traveler: You can find it here: https://discord.gg/FPTKRfWe3w
(09/28 22:01:39) Calum Traveler: youll be able to watch us do our prepwork in a few specific channels
(09/28 22:01:42) Calum Traveler: and chat with us in another,
(09/28 22:01:52) Calum Traveler: ill make a larger announcement about this at the AGM this saturday
(09/28 22:01:57) Calum Traveler: more details there.
(09/28 22:02:06) Calum Traveler: for now, Our Negotiators are: Catchen, Skyisblu, Carl, Jules, and Ereshkigal. Mystlander, unfortunately, had to bow out due to surface matters.
(09/28 22:02:17) Jules Lavisham: Plans have been made for members to bring along aspects of surface culture. Music, creative works, food, writings, that sort of thing.
(09/28 22:02:22) Calum Traveler: im not sure if Jule's friend Ed is coming or not?
(09/28 22:02:26) Calum Traveler looks to Jules...?
(09/28 22:02:58) Jules Lavisham: Potentially. He did say something about the university sending off to Whitby around that time.
(09/28 22:03:06) Calum Traveler: anyways, end goal is to hopefully have some recurring and cycling negotiators going forwards, if everything goes well...
(09/28 22:03:13) Robert Murry: Ahem
(09/28 22:03:18) Calum Traveler: Oh! Right!
(09/28 22:03:24) Calum Traveler: Murry's joining us too
(09/28 22:03:28) Jules Lavisham: Ah yes, I believe Dr Murry has also agreed to accompany us
(09/28 22:03:31) Calum Traveler: sorry, I forgot to add your name to my notes -_-;
(09/28 22:03:33) Calum Traveler: and Tenny too?
(09/28 22:03:46) Tiernan Quinlan: Yes
(09/28 22:03:49) Calum Traveler: sorry, i copied from an older post for my notes,
(09/28 22:03:56) Calum Traveler: so i didn't have the full list.
(09/28 22:03:57) Jules Lavisham: I understand you've had some experience with this sort of thing, Robert?
(09/28 22:03:58) Calum Traveler: my bad there, whoops.
(09/28 22:04:05) Robert Murry: Its okay.
(09/28 22:04:38) Robert Murry: Yes. I've encountered a few lost tribes before.
(09/28 22:05:03) Calum Traveler: as far as what this first round of Negotiations will entail...
(09/28 22:05:22) Calum Traveler: What I can say in detail right now is: The locals are wanting four things from us in our presentations during this first round:
(09/28 22:05:23) Robert Murry: Hopefully this one will go smoother and more peaceful.
(09/28 22:05:31) Calum Traveler: A, Proof of Community. IE: Some kind of evidence that we can put aside differences to help someone out in a time of need. This is specifically for us in D'ni, not for any surface cultures.
(09/28 22:05:41) Calum Traveler: B, Examples of Musical Compositions. Given the emphasis on harmonics with the Crystals, music is a form of communication FOR the locals.
(09/28 22:06:07) Calum Traveler: C, Food, Drink, Etc. One of the big concerns in Rei'schu is restoring some food-based diversity in their food markets.
(09/28 22:06:18) Calum Traveler: (Given the disaster that befell the age, lots of food types went into near or total extinction. Beyond some examples of pre-packaged stuff, they've asked for samples of growable foods, as well as possibly some types of wildlife that could be imported and farmed.)
(09/28 22:06:35) Calum Traveler: D, Examples of Cultural Relaxation. These are a people who pride themselves on accomplishing their daily tasks early, and quickly, and efficiently, so they can have the rest of the day to themselves.
(09/28 22:06:41) NoMore: crystal music... could be some of your expertise ALotOf... that MID thingie on your PC...
(09/28 22:06:43) Calum Traveler: As expected, they're always looking for new things to fill their time with, but safely.
(09/28 22:06:45) NoMore: *MIDI*
(09/28 22:07:08) Calum Traveler: our negotiators have already had a few great ideas and are preparing for the trip.
(09/28 22:07:19) Calum Traveler: I know the Priestesses are very much seeking more of that Eton Mess stuff, Jules.
(09/28 22:07:35) angelmyst: sounds like someone needs to explore my findings in the Adventures of Angelmyst...I found some strange things in my attempt to retrace Ghens path from the ferry terminal up to Cleft.
(09/28 22:07:47) Jules Lavisham: Good ol' Bird & Blend tea. You really can *depend* on it.
(09/28 22:07:56) Calum Traveler: speaking of Descent,
(09/28 22:08:30) Ereshkigal: I have some Darjeeling tea lying around which I brought from India. I wonder if they would like it
(09/28 22:08:31) NoMore: well MIDI crystals sound cool but synthetic... sample based is better... but have an idea...
(09/28 22:08:47) Calum Traveler: I believe we're likely going to not release anything major in the next few months
(09/28 22:08:58) Calum Traveler: our last work load cycle pre-august exhausted a LOT of us,
(09/28 22:09:10) Calum Traveler: we've kindof been taking the time since then a bit slower,
(09/28 22:09:53) Calum Traveler: I believe Patrick has had his Descent crew working briefly on Ahnonay Cathedral for a bit as a mind-refresher,
(09/28 22:10:12) Calum Traveler: end goal is hopefully to fix those danged doors from closing sharply in people's faces.
(09/28 22:10:14) Robert Murry: I'll be doing some geological surveys along the paths of Descent to make sure that it is stable.
(09/28 22:11:10) Calum Traveler: i suspect he'll make a bigger announcement at the AGM regarding Descent once things are ready there.
(09/28 22:11:21) NoMore: descent is exciting... but also rightening... it IS a dangerous place to explore...
(09/28 22:11:29) NoMore: *frightening*
(09/28 22:11:32) Calum Traveler: i know we all had plans to get the First stretch of the path ready this quarter or next, but... well...
(09/28 22:11:40) Calum Traveler: exhausting times are exhausting, and we dont want folks burning out.
(09/28 22:11:56) Calum Traveler: speaking of times,
(09/28 22:12:02) Robert Murry: Especially Patrick.

[Jules Lavisham]

(09/28 22:12:04) Calum Traveler: i believe it's time for our next vote, Jules?
(09/28 22:12:13) Calum Traveler: care to do the honors?
(09/28 22:12:31) Calum Traveler gets a bottle of water and sips at it, evidently having a dry throat from all the talking.
(09/28 22:12:35) Jules Lavisham: Yes! Nothing too grand, just a bit of an administrative one to finish off.
(09/28 22:13:01) ALotOf: PM votes go to whom again?
(09/28 22:13:02) cameo: lol@cal
(09/28 22:13:16) Jules Lavisham: Since we've managed to get these monthly get-togethers of ours done nice and effeciently nowadays,
(09/28 22:13:32) Jules Lavisham: we've given thought to bumping them back in the schedule by ten minutes.
(09/28 22:13:50) Jules Lavisham: People seem to be turning up at the half past mark, it's a nice round time
(09/28 22:14:14) cameo: we try
(09/28 22:14:17) Jules Lavisham: but we were going to put it to the vote for you lovely lot here.
(09/28 22:14:36) Jules Lavisham: Vox populi and all that toot.
(09/28 22:15:18) Jules Lavisham: Plus we're due a test of the old voting muscles, just to make sure the rhythms are there for future ones
(09/28 22:15:46) Jules Lavisham: So, we'll do two options, A and B, to be PM'd to Cal
(09/28 22:16:03) Calum Traveler grins, 'no pressure'
(09/28 22:16:20) Jules Lavisham: Option A - keep it at the regular time, 14:20 KI time
(09/28 22:16:37) Jules Lavisham: Option B - move it up to 14:30 KI time, ten minutes later
(09/28 22:16:43) Calum Traveler: PM me "A" or "B, pls.
(09/28 22:16:53) angelmyst: adjusted for time change in the fall?
(09/28 22:17:02) NoMore: you vote for me, ALotOf? I can't do that.
(09/28 22:17:02) ALotOf: Okay, I give one vote for us two, NoMore.
(09/28 22:17:45) Superabbit: Is D'ni on algaelight savings time?
(09/28 22:18:16) angelmyst: lol
(09/28 22:18:42) Jules Lavisham: Right, we'll give that a minute
(09/28 22:19:13) Calum Traveler hums the jeopardy theme...
(09/28 22:19:24) angelmyst starts to laugh
(09/28 22:19:28) Jules Lavisham hums the Countdown theme
(09/28 22:19:30) angelmyst: you read my mind
(09/28 22:19:36) ALotOf: except some rare year's extra seconds which D'ni clocks may be off... lol
(09/28 22:19:55) Jules Lavisham basks in the discordant anxiety of it all
(09/28 22:20:01) Calum Traveler: ba,. ba da da dah... dahhhh..... Dahh BUM BUM...
(09/28 22:20:06) Calum Traveler: gonna call it,
(09/28 22:20:12) Jules Lavisham: Right, pencils down
(09/28 22:20:15) Calum Traveler: 5-2, Option B won.
(09/28 22:20:20) Calum Traveler: 14:30 KI time it is
(09/28 22:20:31) Jules Lavisham: Ah, the spirit of local government is truly alive and well
(09/28 22:21:00) Robert Murry: So Tenny. Iwas wondering if I could set up some equipment in your Lab? Then, we could start analyzing those crystals.
(09/28 22:21:01) Tiernan Quinlan nods his head
(09/28 22:21:18) Calum Traveler: alright, then, i think that wraps up the official portion of our town hall,
(09/28 22:21:21) Tiernan Quinlan: Certainly, Robert.
(09/28 22:21:25) Calum Traveler: time fot the Q&As?
(09/28 22:21:28) Ereshkigal: I have to get back up, guys. Thanks a lot again!
(09/28 22:21:29) Calum Traveler: for*
(09/28 22:21:31) Robert Murry: Great.
(09/28 22:21:32) Calum Traveler: later, eresh
(09/28 22:21:41) Jules Lavisham: See you later Eresh.
(09/28 22:21:50) Jules Lavisham: Yes, I reckon we can open up the floor
(09/28 22:21:59) Calum Traveler: this is the official end of our Town Hall's main section, thank you all for attending.
(09/28 22:22:00) BIG thumbs up from ALotOf
(09/28 22:22:00) BIG thumbs up from NoMore
(09/28 22:22:13) Superabbit claps his hands
(09/28 22:22:23) Calum Traveler exhales and relaxes a little...
(09/28 22:22:58) Calum Traveler: angelmyst: if someone finds something interesting, while exploring, who would they send their findings to?
(09/28 22:23:00) Jules Lavisham dips into his packet of Jammie Dodgers and has a good munch
(09/28 22:23:18) Calum Traveler looks to Jules, because he doesn't want to be 'it' in this case.
(09/28 22:23:43) Calum Traveler: (I already get farrrr too many DMs and KImails about things on a daily basis.)
(09/28 22:23:59) Jules Lavisham: More than happy to be the receivership of anything you turn up, Angelmyst
(09/28 22:24:17) angelmyst: Ill send you my journal....
(09/28 22:24:24) Thumbs up from Calum Traveler
(09/28 22:24:29) ALotOf STRONGLY wants to be Information Technology (IT) lol
(09/28 22:24:35) Jules Lavisham: We're certainly on the hunt for works to feature in the Chiso library
(09/28 22:24:40) [PRIVATE] From angelmyst: so here is a link..let me know what you think.
(09/28 22:24:42) Robert Murry: Have you found something Angelmyst?
(09/28 22:24:46) Calum Traveler: oh, yes, that too,
(09/28 22:24:50) Jules Lavisham: Journals, articles, essays, all that good stuff
(09/28 22:25:10) Calum Traveler: i forgot to mention ill be sure to be 'novelizing' the events of our expedition to Rei'schu for publication somewhere,
(09/28 22:25:10) angelmyst: yes..just forget how to paste into chat
(09/28 22:25:23) Jules Lavisham: I myself want to see those shelves packed someday
(09/28 22:25:30) Calum Traveler: either Chiso, or somewhere else relevant.
(09/28 22:25:57) angelmyst: how do you paste into chat?
(09/28 22:26:12) Calum Traveler: crtl-v, as with surface keyboards
(09/28 22:26:22) Superabbit: And is it possible to copy from chat?
(09/28 22:26:24) Robert Murry: I've been finding excellent research in Chiso.
(09/28 22:26:26) Calum Traveler: though, be warned, the KI sometimes doesnt like certain characters,
(09/28 22:26:39) Calum Traveler: not at present, Superabbit, but you can copy and paste from and to KI mails,
(09/28 22:27:05) Superabbit: Like your discord link, it scrolled way too quickly for me to grab
(09/28 22:27:19) Calum Traveler: link will be posted with the chatlog, superrabbit,
(09/28 22:27:32) Thumbs up from Jules Lavisham
(09/28 22:27:32) Superabbit: Oh, cool, we have a chat log
(09/28 22:27:34) Calum Traveler: viewforum.php?f=1
(09/28 22:27:48) Jules Lavisham: Will give that a perusal later, Angelmyst
(09/28 22:27:50) Calum Traveler: ill also crosspost to cyanchat discord's 'Messengers Pub'
(09/28 22:27:59) Calum Traveler: and other relevant channels,
(09/28 22:28:49) Calum Traveler: as for the autumn time changes, i believe most events stick to KI time as listed during the shift arounds...
(09/28 22:28:53) Calum Traveler: but others do change,
(09/28 22:29:03) Calum Traveler: we might need to discuss that, jules, with the others?
(09/28 22:29:11) Tiernan Quinlan nods his head
(09/28 22:29:14) Jules Lavisham: Ah, yes.
(09/28 22:29:20) Calum Traveler: at the very least i need to talk with Mina about the updated time
(09/28 22:29:35) ALotOf: do that - important
(09/28 22:29:43) Calum Traveler: yes, yes, plan to
(09/28 22:29:47) Jules Lavisham: Mmm, I'll let Korovev know so he can update the GoMe Calendar
(09/28 22:29:59) ALotOf: part of town hall administration duties
(09/28 22:30:03) Calum Traveler: speaking of, I havent seen Korov around in a while. hope he's doing alright.
(09/28 22:30:25) Jules Lavisham: Mm.
(09/28 22:30:35) Jules Lavisham: Right, any other questions?
(09/28 22:30:43) Superabbit: Yes
(09/28 22:30:45) Robert Murry: I think he's doingsome travelling.
(09/28 22:31:00) Calum Traveler smiles at Robert Murry
(09/28 22:31:08) Superabbit: I've brought this up with CT in private chat
(09/28 22:31:15) Calum Traveler: hm?
(09/28 22:31:24) Superabbit: I'd like to make my music available to age creators
(09/28 22:31:37) Calum Traveler: im sure there are some folks who'd love to put music on play,
(09/28 22:31:44) Superabbit: Themes, backgrounds, cues
(09/28 22:32:00) Calum Traveler: i can send you the relevant links over DM
(09/28 22:32:00) Superabbit: I mean for possible inclusion in the Age
(09/28 22:32:09) Jules Lavisham: I certainly would be very much up for hearing more original compositions from explorers.
(09/28 22:32:10) Robert Murry: That would be great.
(09/28 22:32:34) Superabbit: I want to create a repository so that age creators can pick and choose
(09/28 22:32:51) Superabbit: I'm on there
(09/28 22:33:00) Superabbit: I should just jump in?
(09/28 22:33:03) Calum Traveler: yep,
(09/28 22:33:11) Calum Traveler: just post and offer
(09/28 22:33:20) Robert Murry: Cal, have we thought about including some original music with our gifts?
(09/28 22:33:20) ALotOf: sounds super Superabbit... best in some 'age developers' communication channel (composers subchannel)...
(09/28 22:33:36) Calum Traveler: if there's a repository site you want to set up somewhere, that'd be the place to link it
(09/28 22:33:38) Superabbit: It was part of the idea of Musicians Guild Hood
(09/28 22:33:48) ALotOf: ... I have heard great music suatable for new ages in such already...
(09/28 22:33:57) Superabbit: Excellent!
(09/28 22:34:00) Calum Traveler: Robert Murry, i think thats up to the individual to prepare
(09/28 22:34:06) Calum Traveler: i have to remain a little 'neutral'
(09/28 22:34:15) Calum Traveler: and also Priestess Karin'da gave me that *look*
(09/28 22:34:20) Robert Murry nods.
(09/28 22:34:31) Calum Traveler: you know the one that says 'you meddled with forces you know not, you think we'll trust your music selection choices?'
(09/28 22:34:33) Calum Traveler starts to laugh
(09/28 22:34:41) Superabbit: It would be like a library of available music
(09/28 22:34:48) Jules Lavisham: Well, Ed won't let me hear the end of it if I didn't at least try to get Dark Side of the Moon on the ticket
(09/28 22:35:00) Superabbit: Tailored to age creation
(09/28 22:35:01) Calum Traveler: if you have something set up, Superabbit, feel free to link it in the relevant places
(09/28 22:35:13) Jules Lavisham: One for the Priestesses to vet in the first instance, I feel
(09/28 22:35:20) Superabbit: I wanted to check first if there was interest
(09/28 22:35:30) Jules Lavisham: You don't drop Pink Floyd onto an unsuspecting populace without warning
(09/28 22:35:38) Superabbit: Don't like to be too presumptuous
(09/28 22:35:44) Calum Traveler: it really depends on the individual person id think
(09/28 22:35:55) Jules Lavisham: I think you'll definitely find interest, Superabbit
(09/28 22:36:08) Calum Traveler: anyways, if there arent any more questions...?
(09/28 22:36:09) Superabbit: Oh cool
(09/28 22:36:13) Robert Murry: Heavy Metal and Viking Opera would shater their crystals.
(09/28 22:36:16) Calum Traveler: i think I've got to get going and get some food,
(09/28 22:36:22) Calum Traveler: then i gotta bounce for another meeting,
(09/28 22:36:31) Calum Traveler: Jules, did you chatlog?
