La guilde des messagers aura une réunion ce samedi, pour discuter de tous les projets d'activité et accueillir le nouveau membre du conseil :  Luna(nne)

La réunion ne sera pas tenu dans la caverne, comme il en a été de nos précédentes rencontres mais il aura lieu sur notre  canal IRC (Gracieusement offert par Mystlore).

Dans l'atmosphère amical habituelle, nous discuteront entre autres choses :

• Go! Magazine: le second numéro et les plans de développements futurs
• GoMe History
• la structure des document GoMe, éclairage de certains point, d'après la discussion de actuelle de GoG
• Cavern Criers: Utilisation de sondages et recrutement.

La réunion est publique et tout le monde est bienvenue pour participer et apporter des suggestion (ou assiter à la réunion simplement par curiosité XD). Il est également recommandé d'y assisté si vous êtes interesser par la rédaction d'un article qui sera inclus dans notre magazine.

As reported by most gaming sites, the Smithsonian American Art Museum is preparing an exhibition that intends to "explore the 40-year evolution of video games as an artistic medium, with a focus on striking visual effects, the creative use of new technologies, and the most influential artists and designers". It will be the first of its kind to appear in such a prestigious institution and may go great lengths to improve the status of videogames as a form of creative expression.

The museum is asking the public to elect the games that will be shown, arranging its nominations in an online poll (link below).

Myst is notably absent from the poll, that covers more than 200 games from the '70s to present day. Partly prompted by the Mysteriacs in their latest blog entry, many fans questioned the decision. A quick reply came from the organizers, stating that Myst is absent from the poll only because it is one of the few games that will skip qualifications and be shown no matter what. The other 'sure' games are currently unknown (their fanbases being less enthusiastic, apparently :p ).

Replying to my question as to whether the news could be shared with the community at large, curator Georgina answered:

You may let people know that Myst will be included in the exhibition! It will actually be one of 5 playable games.

Voting will be open until April 7th, results will be made public in May, while the exhibition itself is slated for 2012.

A more detailed explanation comes from curator Chris Melissinos on the movie blog:

I would repost the details of the event, however I'm lazy so I'll point you to the thread for the previous event so you can get all the nitty gritty about how the day will run and what we expect from any veterans/people who have completed the age that accompany us. Just replace any time you see Er'cana with Gahreesen ;)

So as with before, spread the word. Find some people who might be interested in real life and get them to sign up if you have to. We want new people to come!
