To start, a new KI mail has been sent out to all explorers:

Explorers,

A short time ago, two Bahro appeared in the Watcher’s Sanctuary with what appeared to be the Bahro that Douglas Sharper had killed during his reconnaissance trip to Noloben.

It is not clear what their intentions were, but, so far, no explorers have been harmed by these Bahro. Still, it is a matter of concern, as we do not want to provoke the Bahro and have anything as tragic as has recently happened repeated.

If you see on of these Bharo, please take great care to not startle them or appear to threaten them in any way. It may be best to keep your distance from them as much as you can.

This was news enough in itself, but it appears that I have finally been added to the relayer list, as the first words I heard when I logged in today were:

the bahro is still on top of the library, moving from side to side on the roof.

The city, of course, is full. :roll:

Edit: This was followed by the annoucement:

There are two bahro on top of the tokotah roof 

That was the last I heard before crashing out attempting to reach the Watcher’s Sanctuary. :P

I then spent some time looking up the occurence in the forums, as it was evident that I was not going to get much in-game. Da Big Thread has some nice pictures and chatlogs, which we may mirror later.

Well, we finally got to see the guy. Don’t know that we got much out of him, though. It’s my opinion, and that of many others that if people would stop slinging insults and badgering the NPC’s!!!, we might actually get some info out of these people.

Looks like it was a Series of Unfortunate events that caused this. Murphy’s law did the rest. :)

Here’s the link to the incident report from our hosting provider: link

Got this on my KI today:

Explorers,

We would like to thank everyone for their contributions in baking pellets to feed the algae in the lake. Your efforts this past month have exceeded our expectations, but lake is large and pellets are small. This project is still in its very early stages. Keep in mind that the “points” awarded to individuals via their KI are only a general indication of the value their pellet is to the lake algae.

In order to help keep people motivated, Mr. Laxman has set up the imagers in the neighborhoods to accept your pellet points. Each hood will have a running total of the pellet points that have been collected by that neighborhood to help provide a little healthy competition between the neighborhoods.

Please note that you can donate your pellet points to any neighborhood you choose.

Also note that Mr. Laxman has removed the lake light meter from the harbor area in the city since many Explorers were discouraged that it was not providing useful feedback for them. The meter may be returned if the digital readout can be repaired.

Thanks again for all your hard work. We look forward to seeing which neighborhood comes out on top.

The DRC

The latest news! Now that the database is no longer down, we can post it. :D (Sorry for the trouble earlier. I’ll post in Site News when I get a response as to what happened.)

I’ll start with the news in Bevin. We have an addition to the Visitors / Ahyoheek Scores Imager. The Imager now reports on Er’cana pellets. I am presently unsure how to do it, but you can upload your point score to the Imager, which allows you to contribute towards your Neighborhood’s overall pellet score.

When you upload your points though, the counter on your KI is reset (supposedly, others have had different results, though this is expected to be a bug). Each time  you make a contribution, it is recorded on the one screen, and that contribution total is then added to the total score for the hood.

Sadly, the Ahyoheek ranking screen of the Imager is still “borked.”

Stained Glass Window Projects

Also, while I was perusing The Cavern Today, I came across news that the winners of the Eder Delin & Eder Tsogal Stained Glass Window Projects, had been announced. Here are the links to the news on the DRC site:

Sadly, our own Nadnerb’s entry did not make the list, but we have it on our Imager anyways. :)
