All Guilds Meeting - February 2013
It's Groundhog Day in the US, and as we all wait for a (hopefully) early spring, we repeated our usual tradition of the All Guilds Meeting! Many groups were there this month, both new and veteran faces coming in to update everyone. We have our usual raw and cleansed chatlogs for your consumption.
Here's what happened:
Destiny
Christopher and Mystler announced the public release of an URU test shard dubbed "Destiny" after the spaceship in the television show Stargate Universe (which Mystler had been watching at the time). This shard will primarily be for testing purposes, including new fan Ages for multiplayer functions. More information can be found on their forum.
Alien
Next to present was Alien. She announced that she will be broadcasting audio plays of both The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings that were first broadcast by the BBC about 30 years ago. The broadcasts would be one hour each week for 15 weeks. Alien plans to start them around the time Heritage Night ends its current cycle in about 6 weeks, so look back here for further details!
Language Lessons: D'ni 101
Starting on Monday, March 4, 2013 and running through Wednesday, April 10, there will be two classes per week: Mondays at 9:00 KI time and Wednesdays at 23:00 KI time. shokhootahn Rehn will be teaching the Monday morning class and shokhootahn shen will be teaching the Wednesday evening class. Classes will be held in-cavern at the Guild of Instructors' Hood.
Each class wil start in the hood's classroom, but may not necessarily end there. The first class will last about 90 minutes. The remainder of the classes will last from 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the amount of Q & A during the lesson. For those of you who have taken the 101 class and are interested in continuing your studies, the 201 class will begin in mid-March. The actual dates have yet to be determined. This is a 6-week course, in which you will learn to count in D'ni and read D'ni texts.
There will be a website for explorers to reference for class materials during the class. Hopefully, the interest level from the community will be such that we can add more classes. There are currently six instructors in the Guild: shokhootahn Rehn, shokhootahn shen, shokhootahn Svig, shokhootahn Ben, shokhootahn Misha, and shokhootahn Molly. The latter two are not currently available to teach due to RL concerns.
We hope to see you there! Take care and have a blessed day! .shorah gah bigtotee (Peace and blessings.)
