We’ve had a slight issue with user registrations over the past few weeks that I’ve finally been able to rectify. Unfortunately, as a result, all of those registration requests which were submitted had to be deleted in order to correct the problem. So, if you attempted to sign up for an account this month, and either never received your verification e-mail, or just plain had an issue with registering, please give it a try once more.

If you still can’t get through, please, by all means, drop me an e-mail to isyldar@uruexploration.net, and I will correct any problems manually. My sincere apologies for any inconvenience that may have been caused.

Shorah,

There’s still so much to do in the cavern. Ahnonay to complete, Eder Delin and Tsogal to complete. Half of the calibration missions still to run. And yet, none of those things really matter when compared to the people who inhabit the Cavern. After a very pleasurable visit to the Cavern today, I was reminded of what makes Uru such a great community.

I regret I don’t have more time to spend on Moula, but whenever I can, I’ll be there. It’s always worth a visit.

The Olympics have been great, and the experience amazing. :) I will have a few Imager photos of them to share when I get back. Until then,

Shorah!

I was able to get Izy set up in the Sardines’ Bevin, courtesy of Sardine himself ;), and then helped Mel do the same. So far, I’ve only had 1 request for an add to the Canadian’s Bevin, but as it’s hard to keep that Age on the active links in the Nexus, it may be a while before we get more members returning.

I also spent a few hours running around grabbing various Ages so that I’ll be ready for the first game of Sardines! :) It took me a little while, but I now have every common Age from MOUL back in my Relto. I still have some work to do to get the K’veer and MYST Island links back, but I’m sure it won’t be long before I have those too.

At any rate, it’s late, and I’m exhausted from all the exercise tonight. On top of that, I have preparations to make for my surface trip to Vancouver! :)

See you all in a week!

Izy

Also, if you’d like to add new pages to the texts that we’ve got set up here, feel welcome to do so! You can also create your own for various topics that may not already have been covered.

Of course, there’s going to be some moderation, and if something is not appropriate for the site, the Admins are going to be able to review and pull it if necessary. However, with the crew that we’ve got here, I’m fairly confident that won’t be an issue.

Cheers,

Just a note that I’ve had to go through the site and disable a few links just to clean things up. I removed links in the sidebar to a few places like CCN Central, and the URU Guilds page. If you come across any others that need to be taken down, or updated, let me know either by email (isyldar@uruexploration.net), or by commenting on this post.

The Cavern has been open for approximately a week (perhaps a day or two longer), and already, the KI #s are above 1 million! I honestly can’t remember if they ever hit that count when the Cavern was open last time. Further to that, I was helping set up the new Canadian’s Bevin with J’naem, who returned to D’ni this evening as well, and the KI#s jumped thousands within minutes. (This is partly what leads to my borked Lattice, or reserved #s theory.)

At any rate, there are a lot of people in D’ni these days, and it is great getting to run into old friends, and even new ones!

Nadnerb and I were able to attend an Eder Delin run courtesy of the D’ni Museum of Art Bevin. It took us quite a while to get the door open the first time. Nad’s theory is that with so many cooks in the kitchen, it was hard to communicate. We were also trying to teach a new Door Caller how to do the job, and that definitely contributed to the time it took us to get it working the first time. (Including having everyone leave the Age and come back in when we thought the door had stopped working.)

Following the first success, we had Medic get stuck behind the door, and Nad had to bring me up to speed on the cloths so that we could open the door with just the two of us and get Medic out of there. It took us a few tries, as I kept getting things mixed up, but we succeeded. :)

Along the way, Lagrider stopped in, and was surprised to see the door opened with such a technique as the one Nad taught me, so we ran the door on 3 people to show him how it was done. That also took us a couple tries, though only a couple. :)

I think we may need to put together some articles on the techniques of running Eder Tsogal and Eder Delin on less than a full crew of people. And, based on tonight’s performance with the large group, we may yet need to put something together on the standard practice for a run too. :) Either way, I don’t think we have any notes posted for either Delin or Tsogal at this point. It’s worth looking into.

Wow, there was so much accomplished tonight.

Nad and I proceeded to run through Eder Gira and Kemo following Delin. I hadn’t yet retrieved my pillar for the Ages. Along the way, Nad discovered that it was possible to walk across the gap between the land and area behind the waterfall in Gira on just 1 basket. It saved us having to retrieve the second one; but I’ll let him post about hte technique. He understands more of what he did than I do, as usual.

On the subject of the Canadian’s Bevin:

Since the KI #s are already so high, and I have yet to see it resurrected, I decided to re-open the Canadian’s Bevin myself. Hopefully no one will object, but if they do, I’ll gladly hand over the reins.  I’m going to have to research it a little bit and see if there was ever a forum or site set up for it so I can let some people know that it’s back. In the mean time, hopefully we’ll get more of the old hood members back in!

New KI #s of note:

• Isyldar: 41771
• Isyldar Saaren: 1160655
• Izy: 1159519
• J’naem: 1161260
• Canadian: 1161964

Today, I neared completion of my collection of stuff. Only the Minkata wedge remains to be retaken. Ironically, the Minkata sparklie remains also, but cannot be collected for some reason unknown. I spent a good deal of time in Ahnonay as well, helping Elatine understand the age, hosted a good sized (5) group in my Relto for a Fissure opening, which was quite fun, and played around in Jalak a bit with Jeff.

The pod portal calculator has been updated with new times and should be accurate to the minute, though at the moment there appears to be a timezone issue that causes some people to get a countdown exactly an hour off. Hopefully I’ll find the time to look into this soon.
