Er'Cana Pains

Ah, Er'Cana is getting tiresome, its not that it took very long to complete, but its just, the pellet thing got a bit old very fast. Though blowing up the lake with bad pellets was a bit fun at first, even if it's damaging the algae, which is, admittedly, bad.
besides, I got into the act after a bit, racking up some points on that funky pellet meter in the KI screen, if you have one, you'll know what I mean and such. I should probably get a picture of that up here, ah well, in due time.

Also, on older news, late last night, AFTER I went to bed, they sent out a KI message called Wheely Memorial which talks about Marie Sutherlund's (Personally) tacky new Memorial, though I don't wish to forsake the dead. Plus the new one about Er'Cana Pellets.
Now, back to the present, the DRC are starting a new stained glass project for the now operational Great Zero. Since they're still going over the Garden ones. Never actually mentioned that before, but I am now.

Plus, Laxman left a funky machine at the docks which is sorta like a high-tech barrel with wires and a digital panel that so far says: "__1" for whatever reasons. Seems its measuring the brightness of the lake. Wonder if it reminds anyone else of the Daleks? Mysteries around it are abound! Go figure.
Though I still think the new green cloths in Er'Cana are ugly, but the restored lights are great, so whatever.

Plus we've got a new Relto Page that gives us those funky stalks from Er'Cana, and they placed the Tie-Dye shirt back in the Teledahn Slave Office, tacky, 70's, but still very kewl.

Er'Cana Insanity

Boy, let's wind this up..

Er'Cana was released today, it's a bit different than the unauthorized release, but who's counting. They have a "Cloth Meter" on the other side of the ridge, they restored the lighting panels, and the Firemarbles Page hasn't been released, unfortunately.
And we have been charged with the duty of lighting up the Cavern by dropping Glo-Pellets (TM) into the lake, so..

Just before that, Marie dropped by a few times to recap and chat around with the explorers and such.

That was when Cate brought in the Er'Cana Book and Marie linked into the City (Which I can't get into!!) and paid her respects to Wheely and Rosette. During that visit she set up the Memorial Imager which shows the names of those who have died in the Cavern.
Such as Phil Henderson, Branch, and Wheely Engberg.

Then Marie began looking around for Reteltee's KI Number in the City. She wants to ask him about the guild system that he had questioned him on. So a bit later he was allowed into the Council's Bevin, and he came back and had a long Q&A with a whole bunch of explorers. A whole bunch of stuff he was forbidden to talk about, evidently.
Nick White distracted them a bit with a quick link into the Watcher's Sanctuary. Talked about a new person the DRC were working with named JD Barnes, don't know much about him, haven't read any KI Logs since I missed him, but oh, well.
Missed JD when he introduced himself in GoG (Wow, first time in a hood again! Newbie!), finding myself curious what he looks like. Was a long time 'till I saw Laxman too, but anyways..

Cate Elected, Oh Dear!

Sweet smokin' Yahvo, the Fall of D'ni has come! Cate Alexander was elected to the DRC in Micheal Engberg's stead. Honestly, I was pulling for Jeff Zandi or Sharper, ah well. I suggest we put on our hardhats and wait for the Cavern to fall in..

Going back to yesterday, which I recorded nothing of when I needed to, Kodama linked in and told us that previous to the collapse, the Kahlo Pub was structurally sound. And he voiced his opinion, which was "obviously" the Bahro.
And, personally, more importantly, Laxman finally fired up the Great Zero, and it was glowing and humming as the orange beam flew into it and all that dramatic stuff.

Back to today, Cate is talking about possible advertising in the Cavern, such as illuminated billboards in the City showing D'nitos!

And Marie linked into the Sanctuary to talk about her opinion on Cate joining among other things, and at some point Cate joined in the sometimes heated conversation.
And last but definetely not least, Doug Sharper linked in with an announcement. He has gained access to Noloben and plans to go in and get revenge for Wheely, Rosette, and Peggy Sue. He's going to go in and hopes to interact with the good Bahro, and to bring back the body of a bad one.
Many people disagreed with him or abhorred the idea, and he was essentially "booed off the stage" and said he'd come back when they'd understand it.

Besides that, there were a couple new KImails by the names of Great Zero Activated and Cate Alexander Elected.

"But I will come back with a body." - Douglas Sharper, explaining what he will do in Noloben

Victor, Cate, and KImails

Well, today it seems the DRC are back at it, I wouldn't call it a spike, but there was sure as heck enough to make notable, I suppose.

There were Micheal Engberg Still Missing, Explorer Created Quests, Great Zero Activation, and The Watchers Pub respectively. Downloaded straight from my KI, aye.
Then Victor Laxman linked into the Public City and talked to everyone for awhile, about things such as the Great Zero, Wheely, and the Bahro and Bahronoir.

Then, awhile after the Watcher's Pub, which I'm pretty sure is a Sanctuary, and blah-de-blah, anywho, it opened, and everyone started linking in, which, ofcourse caused LINK-IN LAG people were "merging" with other people and appearing to take a step ten times before they appeared across the room.
Basically the rapid influx of linking caused a rift that messed up physics and movement, if you're getting it. Screwed with the KIs too.

Then Cate appeared in the Sanctuary/Pub and talked about the Bahro, Er'Cana, which is supposed to be released on Tuesday or Wednesday, and the new Age the DRC is working on, Jalak, which is supposed to be some sort of game arena, and she says we'll probably have fun.

Her visit didn't help with the lag, though.

On the Ytram

Okay, I spent most of my morning in MoonLightShadow's Kadish Tile Puzzle, and I unknowingly walked into the Puzzlers Meeting, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, it's pretty kewl. Just had no idea what I was doing. Heh.
We spoke about a whole lot of things, everyone has a subject, subjects, etcetera. Then it proceeded to the Bahro and what might happen next, is there war, what will happen with Watson, and such. Its very educational, and we're studying stuff.

Then I snuck my way to solving the Tile Puzzle so we could go down the elevator, and me and kyashii snuck into the Vault, which we locked and spent a little time in, then we blew out of there when he started PMing us.
Hid out in kyashii's Relto for awhile, needlessly, to be perfectly honest, but we were still there all the same, did some experiments with island hopping. And kyashii attempted to get back to the island by repeatedly hopping up a slanted edge of the island from a different island.

Then I came back tonight and spent some more time is Tsogal, just talking about stuff. Yali has had some interesting dreams about the Miller Brothers becoming Iraq Dictators, and his Mother beating up Greydragon, so..

Yeah, suppose that's it.

Tandy's Birthday

Today was Tandy's Birthday so sil_oh_wet threw her a pajama party instead of a Karaoke Party today. There was some Karaoke for awhile, but she ran out and started up with the real tunes, which was way better, if you ask me.
Dakro spent all last night setting up the cones in UO on the seats of the Heek Table, and he got really frustrated whenever I went near him. And I was the guy protecting the Cone Cave (Gameroom Alcove).

Nothing else much happened, have an annoying shortage of quotes cause I haven't been recording and barely anybody around the past few days, the Cavern seems to be oddly silent.
I'm about to go to bed, sometimes I wonder if I spend too much time down here. There's probably a "You Know You Spend Too Much Time in the Cavern If.." somewhere.

Well, whatever, harohs, and goodnight.

"Still alive." - vid, in response to how he's doing

UruBlogs

Well, two days in a row, both with double posts, some may call it annoying, but blah. Like the other one, this one just has to with an add-on, actually, to another website, anyone ever heard of UruBlogs?
Actually, I'd imagine not, atleast until now, cause I may actually have a reader every month or two, and they'll likely come only from that site, so, whatever.

I still post here, since its connected to the site, and whatever. Said whatever twice, eh.
The only real downside is the people I've mentioned here, though not an absolute insult, such as Arcadian and TayLogan, might now read it. Creepy thought.
Plus, I'm listening to The Cavern Today PodCast #26 as I type all this up, nice and long.

And here's another quote that I took from my list on My Tumblelog, whooo!

"'I, Kadish, painted a chicken. Bow down before me. I did it mathematically.'" - krystyn, talking about who would paint a chicken

BBC or BCC?

Well, I didn't post yesterday because access to the Cavern was down, but today its back up, so, yeah.
Though I can't say anything too terribly interesting happened, I played a little Heek in Guide of Greeter's Bevin, which was the ONLY hood with anybody in it at the time.

The only other interesting thing was that I spent some time in UO talking to some folks about the Bahro and Wheely's death a few weeks ago, Thend was there for the Bahro Contact Comittee meeting, which he was Co-Leader of, turns out nobody showed up, people just kept coming in via Nexus since we had the most people currently besides the Guide of Greeters, who the least people I've ever seen it have is two.
Nobody actually showed up for the meeting though, turns out Thend didn't advertise enough, so, like I said, the only reason people were there was because we were somewhat populated at the time.

A couple of interesting characters appeared, like Rechchoortahn and TayLogan, and it turns out Tay is an actually Irish name, go figure, sure the Moiety (Or Moietay, for that matter) didn't know that one: Tay Logan. Go figure, and it was a guy too, now I can only hope he never finds this post.
Also, spent some of the night at another one of Ravenclaw's parties in the public city, and that's about it.
And don't forget, if anyone's actually reading this, Explorer or not, to check out my Uru Tumblelog every once in awhile, stuff'll be popping up there, remember, more quotes, whoo!

"She did, but what she meant was 'Pento is perfectly safe if you don't mind coughing up your lungs after two minutes.'" - TayLogan, talking about Pento and Lexie

Xavius' Tumblelog!!

Oh yeah, and before I head out, and yes, I know it hasn't been that long since my last post. But just a minute ago I found out about Tumblelog, and I made one for random logs and stuff that relates to the stuff here, I'm not moving!
I'll still be here, but I'll have an extra Tumblelog to mess around with, if anyone is actually reading this, which I'm sure they aren't, check it out here.

And hey, why not add another quote, since now every day you'll be able to get a whole list of quotes on the Tumblelog. Though I wish I could make the giant text smaller..

"So I went to UO Bevin and all I got was a lousy spiral?" - SwiftHawk, when talking about Yeesha and the Spiral

Spirals and Stuff

Wow, running out of puns..

Anywho, as soon as I linked in, I found out Thend was making a Spiral to summon Yeesha or communicate with the Bahro. And we spent several hours waiting around in a spiral that started from the center of the fountain, nothing happened.
Except some weird guy named Yeesh-o showed up, said he/she was Yeesha's long-lost cousin and warned us in very bad grammar.

Then everybody headed over to the UO Tsogal and listened to Jinanin's SHOUTcast and hung out, nothing too exciting, it turned into a pool party for a bit near the end, and I changed into Zandi's hawaiian thing.
Everybody talked about movies and stuff, like Spiderman 3 and PotC 3, turns out they were going to make seven, but Keira Knightley wants to stop acting somewhere in her twenties..

So, we mostly partied, spiralled, and hung out all day, nothing too terribly exciting besides the heavy debate during the spiral-making about the Bahro's intentions and whether or not Sharper had been lying.
I really do spend ALL my time down here, especially pending on how long I actually spent on the spiral.

Showed FlangBC that the City Book in Relto is hood-instanced, tried my hat at tent-climbing, still can't get up top, seems the DRC was trying to stop us from doing just that. And never jump on the lights, they're HOT.
I also checked out KARAOKE PARTY's Bevin, the explorers there have lots of talent, sil_oh_wet's mixed all their tapes together and put them on a SHOUTcast, its actually pretty cool there.
Well, Payiferen sunset is coming up, Jin's catching her Negilahnportal, and everybody in Tsogal is heading off to Migo's Payiferen to catch it, so off I go.

Party, Partah!

Well, today I didn't really do much, just roamed around the UO Hood in the morning with 909, Dakro, AKA, and a few others of the limited amount of hood members that were on. Talking about the war and some stuff, like the Diver Light and Ae'Gura fishies.
I'm really anticipating the Maintainer Suits coming out, everybody's noticed Laxman has started some work on the fitters, so.

Dakro has stashed all the cones, firemarbles, and Eddie in the little alcove with the entrance to what I think is the Bevin Gameroom in the Hood. Its kinda neat, and its in my Album.

Besides that there was the D'ni Party's Bevin, which I also have a new picture of in my Album, Donahoo, Akira, Doobes, and all the rest. Plus AKA and 909 again, whoo. I thought I would have a bigger paragraph about that, but that's it.
The Imagers are real screwy, so, whatever. I'm off for now.

Ravenclaw and Reminiscient

Well, Ravenclaw threw another party in the Public City tonight, and I just got up and I'm doing this before I go to bed, since I've been neglecting this. Nice music, met Granelda, well, guess I've met here before, met beachrm, and met Ravenclaw a bit more formally.
So, eh, that's about it, you'd be surprised I'd even be blogging if I didn't have to explain the events that happened a couple weeks ago:

Well, week started off with some serious DRC activity, Nick White, Doug Sharper, Laxman, and Cate Alexander popped up like crazy. At one point Laxman had to link away due to seismic activity in the Cavern.
Nick White appeared in the Pub and noticed a crack in the wall of the corridor, and Engberg explained about it later.
Everybody started looking at it against what Mike said, even though they put up a barrier.

Then Willow, or Wheely, Engberg's daughter was trapped under the Pub with Rosette, who died almost immedieately. Wheely was under there for days, explorers all supported her, and there were strange blue, Bahro eyes floating in the corner.
When they finally reached her, the Bahro went crazy and attacked Wheely, Micheal, and ResEng122. She was reported dead from mauling, and the DRC set up a memorial where the crack used to be, and Engberg dissepeared after a vigil at the memorial.

There were a bunch of Relto Pages, Flora, Satellites, and Grass.

Also, Minkata was released, which is a big deserty Age with craters and five caves that change the time from day to night, and the night has floating, green Bahro Glyphs. There's also flags, a cage, and alot of sand. Plus an (Personally) ugly pair of hiking boots.
Also, Sharper reported that the Bahro are within a Civil War, since they ambushed him, and he was saved by Bahro, and attacked by others.

And that's it, wow.

It all just really sucks because I've always wanted to meet Wheely and I missed her the last couple of times she's been In-Cavern, and now I'll never see her again. I paid my respects at the Memorial they set up, and I feel like taking a couple days off. Even though I know I won't and will hate myself for it.

Rest in Peace
Willow "Wheely" Engberg
