Uru Community-wide Gathering: Time to Reconnect

Tai'lahr · **Posted:** Thu Apr 02, 2009 6:18 pm

It's been nearly a year since we were all together last, and in that time, we've scattered far and wide across the metaverse. So, as the anniversary of the cavern closing approaches, it's time to reconnect as many explorers as possible. Please help spread the word about a planned gathering by carrying the message to any worlds where explorers have gathered and by posting to any forums where explorers might see the message. Below are the details which will be updated in this post as new information becomes available (just post a link to here):

Guild Wars party. The FPI (Fuzzy Physics Institute) Guild is hosting a party in their guild Hall. The plan is so start at 7 am PDT / 10 am EDT / 4pm UK, though we have plenty of Guild Halls and are more than flexible. You might also want to check out the Fellowship of Freeters (FOG) Guild Hall. If you are in our Alliance (group of guilds) talk to people on the Alliance chat and someone will tell you where people are grouping.

If you aren't in our Alliance (FOG), message (whisper) BrettM in game - Brett Okh Uru. The Uru and "friends of Uru" GW crowd is a great group of people.

[/spoiler]

NOTE: Gatherings are not limited to the places listed so far. They can be anywhere that two or more people can meet online. If you’d like to host one, please post the information here and I’ll add it to the announcements.

Thanks to everyone for their assistance and encouragement in making this happen. It's going to be a great day because this community is great!

Certainly! It's now added. Will you be the host and would you like to provide specific times for the above announcement?

mtn'man · **Posted:** Fri Apr 03, 2009 2:17 pm

Bummer, I'll be at RL events all afternoon and then a hockey game that night. The first round of pelletized lake water drinks are on me though!

Karkadann · **Posted:** Fri Apr 03, 2009 3:23 pm

Uh oh what does a host do?
I think thats a Saturday my day off. Although I still hafta cook dinner, Im not sure what I just got myself into.
if we can get a few host in each party we can have it going on the whole day depending on what time zone your in this way people that work or go to school will be able to get to at least one of them if not more, I was planning on being in and out threw out the day.

I have made up a 5-hour playlist of music from all the games, music made by explorers, and songs that have been used in various Uru music videos*. I'll start playing this at noon Pacific time, so those of you who want to amble down memory lane will have lots of time.

It'll be on Ashtar's Shoutcast server, as usual for Radio KTDN, at

Code:

http://radioktdn.zapto.org:8025

Use any media player. If you're using Windows Media Player you may need to change your skin to view the File menu. Pull down File, select Open URL, and paste in the above. Or use your browser and go to the Server Status page, then click on Listen among the buttons at the top of the page.

Starts:
Noon, US Pacific
2P US Central
3P US Eastern
9P British
9P Central European (assuming no daylight saving in Europe)

If someone wants me to start earlier that's not a problem. Let me know.

*Tai might need a box of tissues...

Edit: Thanks, Rusty.

Rusty_Russell · **Posted:** Fri Apr 03, 2009 4:34 pm

Hi, LC. 8 pm Zulu + 1 (BST now). [The 8 pm is correct, it's just that no-one's on GMT at present]

Tai'lahr · **Posted:** Fri Apr 03, 2009 9:09 pm

/me makes a note to buy more tissues before the 11th. :wink:

Thanks, LC.

Well, first, if you're NOT a moderator in the chat room, then I would suggest you discuss it with them first to make sure they're prepared for the influx of guests.

When you've agreed on the time period(s) that the room will be hosting a gathering, let me know and I'll add it to the announcement.

Then, plan to be in both the place where you're hosting and in the Cyan Chat room so you can relay tidbits of information back and forth. For example, you might tell the people in CC who's at your gathering and vice-versa. Then, if "Joe waves to Cindy" etc., you relay that back. And, that's all there is to it. Just making the connection.

Karkadann · **Posted:** Sat Apr 04, 2009 5:58 am

Well I actually not a moderator any where cuz I aint sure what they do either I just suggested it because its "The Myst Online Info" chatroom with a nice background of the fountain in Bevin. I figured it would just be a bunch of people chatting back and forth. But I'll drop by in the morning and ask them, I guess its something I should have done first before volunteering their site. :oops:

It's ok, Karkadann, I am the creator, host and owner of the site and chatroom, and mentioned this thread to one of the mods yesterday. You can either PM me, or drop by and speak to the moderators in person. I know for a fact they don't bite (too hard) :lol:

CrisGer · **Posted:** Sat Apr 04, 2009 8:19 pm

We only bite when we are hungry.....

but we feed regularly so that you are pretty safe. lol

We in the MystOnline Chat are very happy to welcome explorers on Saturday as always, and will be very glad to see one and all and share with great pleasure. We have room in our main chat room for up to 100 explorers and other rooms as well. Our Chat room has technical limitations that limit relaying, so we will be a live and on location only chat. But as always and since April of 2008, MystOnline Chat will be really glad to see any who want to drop by. Shorah and welcome to all and it is wonderful to be returning to the Cavern soon.

You will need to sign up in advance on our site for your user name and access which is sent to your e mail but it only takes a few minutes....and we have nice blogs and news on our site as well as the lovely URU 2D tour of the cavern thanks to our much estemed Host Sophia

it is amazing to realize it has been almost a year since the beginning of Intermisison and it will be wonderful to be back....

Nope, not yet. And, I know there is a very large Uru community there, so I would really like for them to be included. Perhaps you could talk to a few people there and see if there is any interest.
