Communauté linguistique D'ni

Famed author and field explorer Ainia, along with her research partner KathAveara, are launching a new project!

Having applied for research grants from both the D'ni Museum of Art (& Sciences) and the Guild of Cartographers, funding has been secured to support a moderately sized expedition team into the various Ages. This group, along with small teams of individual explorers, will investigate and decipher the nuances of Bahro script versus the Bahro murals known more commonly as "Bahroglyphs". This project will follow up on the work of the D'ni Linguistic Fellowship, whose records stored in DMoA archives were damaged severely sometime before the cavern's reopening.

Current job openings include, but are not limited to:

• Field Research Assistants
• On-site Photographers
• Linguistic Analysts 
• Data Catalogers
• And others....

To apply for any of these jobs, to simply express interest, or to share other relevant skills, please contact the expedition's team leader, KathAveara (KI# 17967159). One may also express interest via a post in the corresponding MOULa forums thread, or contacting DLordofTime, the project's representative on the forums, via PM.

Safe journeys to Ainia, KathAveara, and good luck to their entire team! Be careful out there!

Shorah, everyone!  Sitting in the middle of summer did not stop this month's All Guilds Meeting, and this one had a couple of big developments!  Of course, we present the usual raw and cleansed chatlogs and a summary of all that went down.

Mac and rarified were first up for OU.  There was a bit of a rough time recently as wildfires in the midwestern United States caused the Minkata shard to shut down for awhile (as rarified had to evacuate his home), but thankfully, not only was his home spared, but (less importantly by comparison, of course) he was able to reconstitute everything in record time thanks to some earlier planning.  Bug fixes and testing continue, with a mention of another stress test party some time soon.
