For anyone who is not interested in fan storylines this would be a good spot to stop as I think that's what this is about. I'm posting this on MOUL forum in hopes we can encourage more explorers to join us. There is a thread already going on on the German Reallife Forum.

Let me introduce Der Clan. At least those that I'm aware of today (babelfish translation of name):

DerBetrachter (The viewer) KI NR: 4 077 149
DerVerkuender KI NR: 4 077 992
DerhalbVerraeter (The half-hinter) KI NR: 4 083 937
DerWaechter (The guard) KI NR 4 152 916.

And some backstory. I was visiting hoodmates in NULP hood the other day and the fahtehrthtehs popped in for a couple of minutes. On the fahtehrthtehs' heels another mysterious character linked in and posted a message on the hood imager. At the time I'd thought he was a friend of the fahtehrthtehs but upon discussion it became clear that he was not but rather was a member of Der Clan. Oddly enough also they seemed to have the same agenda -- Community.

Der Clan have dropped by a couple of times since but the first time only to say they were hoping for more explorers. The second time they seemed ready to get the story rolling and had a hood member post the following message on the imager:

Shorah,

The time has come and the old game starts anew. Do you still remember the very first riddle? Someone will be waiting for you very close to that place. It won't be easy to find him but you will recognize him. He will give you more instructions.

Der Clan

In subsequent chatter with Der Clan visitor the time of 12:00 cavern time is mentioned. I'm not sure but I think that's when he meant this person with 'more instructions' would be there.

On one of the earliest visits Der Clan member had requested that we look through the Bevin telescope. We took that to be the "first riddle" mentioned in this message. So, looking through the telescope you see the city from the lake point of view. That's the Ferry Terminal probably. So we hustle to the city to see if he is there. Nothing. Not really surprised since we have a location and another time. But it's nice to be on the chase once again.

So, I'm asking any who may be interested to meet us at the Ferry Terminal in the public Ae'gura Saturday at noon cavern time to help us find this guy and see what he has in mind. We're working on German and English translation capabilities so it will go easier. In fact we had a French speaker with us today as well. By the way this is not the first visit to the cavern by Der Clan. We couldn't find any details but they were here before back in the day.

(/edit) Okay, here is the chatlog from Friday's visit from Der Clan:

Some extraneous comments have been edited out. Babelfish thinks 'DerUeberbringer' is 'The deliverer.' See also that the NULPs helped me to understand what was going on by adding English comments and translations in real time. This is how I am able to participate as I understand very little German. This is, after all, an international game and the agenda is 'community' or at least that's my focus. Thanks again NULPs. (/endedit)

(/edit2) Some more information from MarkusV that just in case Der Clan refers to the 'first puzzle' from their previous visit to the cavern the location might be the cliff edge behind the library in Ae'gura. That previous visit by Der Clan was January 2005.(/endedit2)

The following message has been posted by Der Clan on the German Reallife Forum:

Shorah liebe Gemeinde,

wegen der aktuellen ereignis (MOUL Server down), haben wir zu folgt entschieden:

Wenn der Server vor 18 Uhr wieder läuft, werden wir wie vorgesehen fortfahren.
Falls der Server nach 18 Uhr bis max. 20:30 Uhr wieder läuft, werden wir das Rätsel auf 21 Uhr verschieben.
Wird keines von diesen besagten Uhrzeiten eintreffen, werden wir es auf Sonntag verschieben.
Die genaue Uhrzeit werdet ihr am Sonntag auf den Imager in der Gemeinde "NULP" lesen können.

Shorah
Der-Clan

and the Babelfish translation:

Shorah dear municipality,

because of the current event (MOUL server down), we have too follow decided:

If the server runs before 18 o'clock again, we as intended to continue.
If the server runs after 18 o'clock upto max. 20:30 clock again, we will shift the mystery on 21 o'clock.
None of these mentioned clock times will arrive, we will shift it on Sunday.
_ the exact time will it to Sunday on the Imager in the municipality “NULP” read can.

Shorah
The clan

As you can see, Babelfish is not very good with grammar. So, my interpretation:

I had a quick calculation of these times considering 18:00 means cavern time. This seems unlikely since 18:00 cavern time is 2:00am in Germany. This would still be the most likely, though, IMHO, since it is even less likely to be German time since the originally scheduled 12:00 cavern time is 20:00 in Germany which is beyond the stated 18:00. So, I am at a loss to interpret the times in this message. Is it possible to have times posted in the forum converted automatically to the local time of each individual reader as per their profiles? In the middle of all this, most of Europe, including Germany, is switching to Daylight/Summer time overnight tonight. That makes the 2:00am Germany time actually 3:00am Germany. Sigh. In short, your interpretation of the timings is as good as any and perhaps moot since the servers are still down. Yeah, yeah, I've reread this several times and it doesn't make any sense to me either so I'm leaving it the way it is.

Maybe I can help.
What "The Clan" says, is:


Shorah, dear community,

because the MOUL-servers are down, we have decided the following:

If the server runs till 10 a.m. cavern time, we will continue as planned.
If the server comes back between 10 a.m. cavern time and 12.30 p.m.cavern time, we'll start at 1 p.m. cavern time
Otherwise, we will defer to sunday. For more details, look at the imager of the NULP-hood.

Shorah
The clan

_________________

Hello Old Man,
no, 18:00 meas German time, so this is 10 Cavern time. But you know the server is still down.
So I will write the clan that he think for our frinds in the USA and Canada.

I hope tomorrow we are back in Cavern.

Greetings
Menolly

[ok Mucol was faster]

Here's Sunday's update.

A message from DerClan posted to the NULP Bevin imager by DerVerkuender:

Subject: Neue URUZeit fuers Raetsel

Shorah liebe Gemeinde,

da der Server gestern nicht mehr angelaufen ist, werden wir heute das Raetsel fortfahren.
Die neue Zeit ist um 10 Uhr URUZeit

Shorah

Der-clan


and the Babelfish translation:

Subject: New URUZeit for the mystery

Shorah dear municipality,

since the server did not start yesterday any longer, we will continue today the mystery. The recent time is at 10 o'clock URUZeit

Shorah
The clan


I'll interpret this to mean DerClan will appear at 10am cavern time today.

Yes Old Man it is 10 Cavern time
So in one hour it begins.

I hope I can be there.

Greetings
Menolly

Oh I forget,
Our think is, the Clan member will come to Ae'gura.
So please looks for a user with Der in the front of here name ( but not DerMoni )

The game servers were back up Sunday morning and The Clan posted on the NULP hood imager that the scheduled time to begin searching is 10am cavern time. We met in NULP hood and as a group went to the city to search. Al Bina finds DerAuftraggeber downstairs in the library. Here is the pared chatlog from that meeting:


(03/28 19:05:34) From izza in D'ni-Ae'gura': hat iwer etwas?
(03/28 19:05:53) Al Bina: so, alle da
(03/28 19:06:06) Hordath: sagte doch in rot

(03/28 19:08:06) Old Man points
(03/28 19:08:13) Al Bina: Hordath
(03/28 19:08:15) SonRonny: Hordi
(03/28 19:08:16) Hordath shrugs
(03/28 19:08:17) Old Man: Hordath
(03/28 19:08:56) Hordath: danke fuer das vertrauen friends
(03/28 19:09:04) Menolly: )
(03/28 19:09:06) Al Bina: (he may step up)
(03/28 19:09:0 DerAuftraggeber: Hordath, ich werde dir das naechste raetsel geben
(03/28 19:09:09) From izza in D'ni-Ae'gura: was heist das raestel jetzt? was muessen wir tun?
(03/28 19:09:11) Al Bina: (thanks for your trust)
(03/28 19:09:21) DerAuftraggeber: verteile dies dann an die anderen

The message as given to Hordath by DerAuftraggeber and distributed to the rest of us:

Findet den Ort

Shorah Sucher,
Diesen Ort muesst ihr finden:
Findet den Ort wo es hier mehrmals gibt aber doch nur einmal da ist.
Es gibt dort mehr Lichter als sonst wo.
Einige Tueren sind weg, die anderen gehen nicht auf.
Obwohl es einen bekannt vorkommt, ist es doch nicht bekannt.

Findet einen von uns dort und ihr habt das Raetsel geloest.
Shorah
Der-Clan

The message as translated into English by Al Bina:

Shorah searcher,

You have to find this place:

Find the place that exists more than one time but is still there just once. There are more lights in this place than anywhere else. Some doors are missing and others don't open. Even if it seems familiar to you, it isn't.

Find one of us there and you have solved the riddle.

Shorah, Der Clan
