Myst Online: Uru Live -- "Deception" Episode Sneaks into September -- STARTS SEPT. 6 -- NO, SEPT. 8

The next Myst Online: Uru Live (MOUL) Episode is scheduled for early September. It's titled "Deception," which of course gets the speculative wheels turning.

Here's the official information:

Ahhhh, so there will be a season finale.

Are we going to war? or not?

Thanks Becky

I wonder...will we ever have anymore of the ''Big'' Ages like those in CC....BUT not those in cc? I will be looking forward to next episode, but have to admit not very thrilled with Jalek...or Pods. I am saving Minkata..maybe until WINTER! I really have been enjoying MOUL...has been awful nice to have the help and was fun getting help w/the new Eders!..but i sure do miss having a nice big Age to explore(don't miss the jumping though!). My son and his friend joined last week and i got to join them online and that was great fun! They already had figured out how to share books and ages...and although they were new..they helped me by sharing info and showing me. It was a nice 'visit'. I am pretty much a 'shut-in' so i enjoyed being able to spend the time w/them...almost like a real physical visit! However, i know, once they finish the Uru prime they are going to want to have more and i don't think they'll stay on with what has been released so far (exception..Ercana..they have not played CC so Ercana and Ahnnonay(sp?) will be new to them)..
It is nice to chat with other 'boomers and friends when they're in MOUL-no doubt of that!-but what i really hoped for(for the $$'s) was more large NEW ages to explore. But..maybe we'll have some yet! ( i never did get to finish Ahnnonay in CC..just can't get to that tower..even got it out again last week and tried..whew..still can't jump out where i need to be to get to that tower island!!! grrrrr). If we do get Ahnonay it will be nice though to have help getting to that darn tower!!!hahaha.. I know has been a lot of hard work for CYAN and know money, labor, and time are always an issue..so i DO appreciate what they have done(except Jalek..pfuii)..just had hope after all this time (since CC)for some more large ages..AGES first, politics second!

I sincerely hope they will be working on new ages and new storyline for us in the coming season (I am so sure they will!!!!) Gamenut, it took me forever to get it but I was finally able to swim to that danged tower

I would just love a new Myst game in a box instead of online!

Dudemom!!! Thanks for the spoiler!! I will try it...i swear that crab is laughing at me! Boy i sure hope Cyan will come out w/some new BIG ages!..Kaki...the one advantage to this being online is the help you can get ...(and, of course, the chat w/Boomers!)..i got to help my son and his roommate w/Eder Gira and Kemo and that was fun! And i have to say...having help w/that Bucket jump(teledahn) and Power room (gahreesen)made game much more enjoyable. Actually most of the first part is on cd/dvd...Myst,Uru: Complete Chronicles..includes: Teledahn, Gahreesen, Kadish, Eder Gira/Kemo, Bevin,City, E'rcana & Ahnonay(sp?)...no people, no Pods, no Minkata, no group Eders,nothing else added. I had this, and to tell the truth i like the online better insofar as being able to call on someone to help and if also feel in the mood to chat can do that as well!...BUT am disappointed a bit in online as no Big Ages. 'Course i am an exploring and puzzle nut...so would even like Ages bigger than the first ones! ahhaha....
Guys..i would still like to know how to help someone at the end of Gahreesen get to that door AND how someone can get help getting markers. We have a boomer who is having a real hard time w/those markers...i don't feel qualified to help her by myself.

You are welcome, gamenut! I had to look at many a walkthrough to figure that out and it has been one of the solutions that has stuck in my head over the years - that one and how to jump to the rock in Eder Kemo to get the Relto page! I need to load up the games again and replay to refresh my memory - besides they are such good games I enjoy playing them over again.

For hints to the markers check out the Guild of Greeters site:
http://www.guildofgreeters.com/

or for the really big hint.....maps of all of the marker locations......
http://home.comcast.net/~mark_af/urumaps.html

Whenever you need help and there is no one online you know, stop in to the Guild of Greeters Hood and someone there will certainly help you - that is what they are for!

I have already gone to both of the above links and neither one can help me. I'm not asking for help because I have no idea where I found any of the markers that I did find. I just stumbled across them willy-nilly, never did know where I was was. I did have help finding some but again I have no idea where I was. I have several balconies in my link books, I think. In any case, my interest in finding the markers isn't very great any more. I think most of my curiosity about MOUL has already been satisfied. I was very curious how MMO games played but never wanted to go to the RPG ones. Although my interest in MOUL is going down, my interest in GameTap is going up as I'm checking out some of the other games since I still have 9 months to go. At present I'm lost in King's Quest 5: Abscence Makes the Heart Go Yonder world. I played it when it first came out so it is bringing back lots and lots of memories! One of which is that I didn't remember how easy it is to get killed in the game!

I am sure no expert at this game Sierramindy...but i will be more than glad to help you hunt those darn markers!

Thanks a million, gamenut, but I am going to wait until after the mob scenes over Deception sneaking by are over. In the meantime my heart is going yonder with King Graham in KQ5.

Sierramindy -- you can start each marker game from scratch if you want just by selecting it again in the marker game machine. It erases previous progress on that particular marker game, and then you can use the walkthrough or map to find each marker.

That's great that you're enjoying King Graham's company!

Thanks, Becky! I was going to add that too. When I first started the markers, I just checked them off the map as I found them and made notes on there as well as to where I was at and that way I learned my way around at the same time.

It will be frantic during episode week, but you can always go to your own city instance in your neighborhood (just click on the Bahro Stone in the book room) that will take you to an unoccupied city instance. Your markers will be there as well and you won't have crowds to contend with. Invite a few friends and you can have a marker hunting party!

I am gearing up for episode week. I will be Relaying as will Boomer Bob - he is one of our newest Relayers. He has done some practice runs and will do a great job episode week! One note on that...if you see us in our Relayer avies (mine is [Relayer]DMom_2000) and you have me on your buddy list please put me on ignore for the week. I am usually an "Action" Relayer and end up right at the action with the DRC and have to send my transmissions to the other Relayers for distribution to the subscription neighborhoods and subscription buddy list. If my Relayer avie is on your buddy list and you use that list to talk to your other buddies then I get that chat as well as the Age Player chat and it is really difficult to get what the DRC are saying and the questions being asked because the chat usually scrolls really fast and if you add the buddy list chat, well, you know.......lol...It makes it REALLY hard!

I will try to say hi if I see you in the city, but if I don't answer, I am either Relaying or setting up to get to a Relay. We stay pretty busy during episode week. It can be hard but it is a LOT of fun as well and the Relayers are a great group to work with!

Anyone interested in becoming a Relayer please sign up at www.relayercorps.org We are looking for people who can give us at least three days out of an episode week. Typing like lightning helps, we can teach you how to Link like a Bahro!

Interesting, Dudemom! I will choose to ignore you if I can.

Dudemom! will try to remember you're 'working'..! thanks for all your hard work! P.s.....do we need to send you some Iced tea or Luna Bars, or cheeseburgers?! Hahhaaaa.....

Iced tea will be nice but I will need a straw so I can sip while I work, because I will probably type my fingers off this episode, I suspect! A corned beef sandwich from the neighbor deli also won't come amiss midweek!

If you want to put someone on ignore you can type /ignore KI# and I believe you can open your KI and click on a name and see ignore to the left with a little arrow. Just click on that arrow and it puts them on ignore...to take it off, just type /unignore KI# (My Relayer avie for next week KI # is 7069940)

OK, refresh my memory DM...which is being eroded daily!
If we want to be "in" on the Relayers during the week ahead, do we go to the web page to sign up? Since we didn't get a lot of affirmative replies about signing up the GB hood, I guess we do it individually?

Looking forward to a big new age too, Gamenut, and wondering if that is going to be the grand finale. Hmm...

Always on Uru...

Kate (Katva)

Dudemom -- have they given the relayers any hints as to what will occur during Deception?

Hey guys, we were in the city last night, and some folks were chatting about a sting to catch those that were selling counterfeit linking books.

I assume that was part of the new story?

Hi Kateva:

I checked this link http://relayercorps.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=9
and did not find your request for a relayer for Gameboomers Bevin. Perhaps you should put your request here.

I don't remember anyone discussing or deciding either way whether or not the GB Bevin should have a relayer. I think it's a great idea. I am someone who likes to get in on the action if I can but if the lag is severe or we can't get in, a relayer would be nice to have.

Has anyone seen Kat lately? Ever since I got back from vacation a few weeks ago, I haven't seen her in the game or heard from her. She's usually so active both here and in the game. Kat, are you okay?

Kateva posted yesterday here--it's at the top of this page

Or is that not who you were asking about

I've been wondering the same thing, Celtic Lark....she's usually at the Karoke parties, but has been MIA for the last 2-3 weeks....hope she's okay...(I'll send her a PM). Today's a big party in the city - I'm on my way there now....(shoutcast url = http://89.106.68.121:8000/listen.pls)

Looney-believe she was looking for Urukat

Bob-I asked in an earlier thread about whether we should ask for a relayer for our hood. Becky was the only one at that time who replied.

Since Thursday will be the start of the downloading,(check out the Coming Soon page) I would love to ask for a relayer!! Maybe we can consider three people a quorum?

Kate (Katva)

BTW -- if ANYONE gets to sit in on a Phil Henderson (I believe that "phend" is his current avatar name) group event, would you please ask him if he's the Seeker mentioned in Words by the Watcher?

Oh, and it would be very interesting to find out from him why the people in Releeshan have been so shy about returning to the Cavern now that the place is so full of life. Have they been avoiding us for some reason?

EDIT: Added date that Deception starts to the thread title.

I knew I should have signed onto the game today. I was so busy this morning and then a friend called to say that she had her baby two weeks early and I went off to the hospital to visit her.

Renee, let me know if you hear from Kat. I PMed her about two weeks ago and still have no response. Maybe I'll send a message to her regular email.

I'm ashamed to say that I haven't played this since the marker hunting and I'm not up on any of the new episodes! Not even scars. so can I still play without feeling like I'm missing a huge amount (I've been playingn casual games mostly....)

WW

WW, of course you can!

WW -- here's a quick story catch up from the Myst Online site.

To get GameBoomers Hood on the Relay, you can go to www.relayercorps.org and sign the hood up or you can go to the same location and sign yourself up for the buddy relay. If we have an available relayer, we will assign them to occupied subscriber hoods but keep in mind we are very small in numbers and will do the best we can! We do have Relayers who have only the buddy lists and while I and the other Action Relayers send to them, they send everything on to the subscribers. I keep trying to recruit but it is hard going! So again.....if anyone would love to give us three days out of an episode, we would love to have you and will teach you how to link like a Bahro! Good typing skills are a definite plus here!

Well, that lets me out!

Time is precious, but surely some of us could do this?? (/me looks for volunteers)

Now the big question again. Do you want the hood signed up if the corps can find an available relayer? Show of hands, please!

Kate (Katva)

Sure. Relay to us!

Has anyone heard from UruKat yet?

I vote yes.

Katva, I vote yes, too!!

No, Becky - I haven't heard from UruKat (I sent a private message and emailed her the other day, but no reply)

I hope she's okay!

Becky said:


Lol, no! We have no official standing in the Cavern other than we are a group who got together to provide a service. Trust me, they don't give us any breaks! We are just really good at getting where the action is quickly, setting up and starting a Relay.

Actually it is more fun not knowing where someone will show up....sometimes we scramble around before we are able to locate someone and get there....that is half the fun!

Too bad. I was hoping to learn a little extra something in advance.

EDIT: The Myst Online: Uru Live website now states that the episode will begin on September 8th, not September 6th.

Okay, I went and added us to the list of Bevins requesting a relayer. Here is the reply:



So, couple of things here. If there is "action" in the storyline, we will need bodies in the hood. Assuming you can't get to where that action is, of course And please make sure, whenever you are in the Nexus, to see if the GB Hood shows on the hood list. If it doesn't, then click on Make Private and then Make Public. This should put it back on the list. If you need any help with this, just send a message to neighbors-someone will be able to cope!

Can't wait to see what is going to happen next!

Kate (Katva)

I'll head to the hood when there's action. I'm curious to see how this works.

Me too! But how will I know when the action starts so I can get to the hood on time? Where is the meeting place in the hood? At the fountain maybe?

I was wondering the same thing, sierramindy. Is there a certain time interval when this happens? Or is this just a random visit?

If anyone knows that there's a game character that's shown up in the city or in a neighborhood, maybe they could send a quick word to all the GameBoomers' neighbors who happen to be in MOUL at the time?

I suppose they could also post here at GameBoomers if they know something is going on -- would that make sense?

The DRC characters come in randomly so it can be hit or miss. If you are in the Nexus and see a rather large population somewhere, there most likely is a DRC member there. A lot of people have friends that pm them and let them know when they find out where a DRC member is. Just keep your eyes open and if you see people linking around like crazy then it is starting! Also if any of you, and I think there are several, who are on the buddy list as well, they will know as soon as a Relay starts and can let the others know.

I just logged in and there was a large update for the Deception episode! Of course, it won't start until the 8th, but I like to get the update out of the way before the first "real" day that the episode begins.

Thanks Becky, for the reminder. I updated both Soot's computer and mine. Took several tries with mine, but at least it is done.

I'm glad they moved the new episode to the weekend. It means I'll actually be able to be in on the action the day it starts. I have to go to my niece's gymnastics competition in the morning but I'll be around in the late afternoon.

Thanks for the heads up on the new update. I'll do that before bed tonight so I don't have to wait for it on Saturday when I'll be impatient to join the fun!

I've been in/out several times today and have not seen anything new.....lots of yakking in the Watcher's Pub...talking about whether or not you might have to wear one of the Guild Tee-shirts to enter a 'pub'...but as of yet...not seen anything new. pfuii. will wait and check back next week...maybe. Seems like might be another 'Pods' or 'Jalek' entry...

Sharper was in the Watcher's Pub tonight but I only caught the last few moments of the conversation. I'm sure someone will post a chat log on one of the URU sites. Based on what people were saying afterwards, there was no new information. From what was said, Cate indicated earlier today we're waiting for the guilds to open.

Someone also said that Phil was going on about green being good and black being bad. But apparently he was rambling so we don't know if he's been traumatized in some way. Some people think it has to do with the shirt colors of the different guilds but someone one else suggested that it might have to do with Bahro eye color. Green eyes mean a good Bahro and black mean a bad. Of course, by the time you get close enough to see their eyes, you may be out of luck!

I keep wondering about the Bahro. wondering if any attacks they might have committed were provoked in some way.... seems to me the 'body' count would be a lot higher if they were (or some were) just out and out killers.... so many explorers on the loose...???

Here is a log of Sharper in the Wathcer's Pub:

http://relayercorps.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=198

Thanks for the log.

I see that Douglas is his usual charming self! Intriguing -- will we see "him" this Episode, do you think? And how does "Deception" fit into all this?

BTW....a new "sparkie" is available.

Finally, 10 days deep before a new sparkly. Whew!

Has everybody seen gelf56's 1:00 AM post and log at Uru Obsession? (Logged by D'Ja Vu & J'on)

In my continuing obsession with Words by the Watcher, I thought I'd post excerpts from Words, first any mention that the Watcher made of color or colors (because of what seems to be going through Phil's mind at the moment). And next, any mention of deception, because of the Episode's title.


Colors

"Black turns to green.
Red and yellow fruits emerge.
And he laughs at the worm,
And soon there are many.

One wears color and holds paper.

But a storm approaches, and a new river flows.
Its waters of deep red stain the land.

A river of blood flows from the surface."



Deception

"They rejoice at a spark,
Though they never see the fire.
They rejoice at a star,
Though they never see the sun.
They honor magicians,
And never know of true power.
They bow to liars,
Because truth cannot wait.

All of them look over you.
And they do not see the right path.

The action of the deceived is toiling in vain.

Roll the stone to know the deceiver.

But do not be deceived.
Few ears in the low places will know the grower.
But many ears will hear those who claim to be the grower.
Only the ears of the new ones will hear the true grower.
Do not be deceived.

The grower leads in the dark,
While the deceiver flails in the light.
The grower raises truth in the absence of eyes,
While the deceiver blesses them in clear view of many.

Eyes are removed,
Yet sight is restored.

Through the minds of imposters
Comes new life.

Do my wishes deceive me?
I have never seen like this before.

There can be not deception
With such dreams that outweigh my own.

A new river flowers through the land;
Its paths are chosen wisely.
The waters have lived through many dry lands
And are not longer deceived by imaginary images."

I have a confession to make. I have never followed the "story" closely because I play more for the puzzles. I am suddenly riveted this time by the plot. Last night, when Engleberg reappeared, I was disappointed. Said to Big John in the hood "I thought that Dr Watson would be the one returning". And then (of course, after I had left for the night) who should reappear in the game!

I, too, have been rereading the books in the Watcher's Sanctuary (which somehow became a pub ) and trying to match up the ideas with Phil's (Phend) arcane ramblings. So, the stone reference struck me as well as the colors'.

Roll the stone to know the deceiver.

Is not Phil pointing out stones? Now Sharper...

Sorry but I have to rush back to the game now to see if I am missing something. Last thought here, again a HUGE thanks to the Relayers for keeping us in touch when we can't be in the right place!

Kate (Katva)

I wish they had put one of those Nexus link stands in each one of the pubs....wonder why they didn't?

Time to get out your parkas! It's snowing in Delin!! Think it will last until the weekend and we can have a snowball fight?

I am going crazy trying to figure out how to get to...

It's snowing in Delin? - Thanks, Celtic Lark - I'll have to head over there tonight!

BTW, do we have the Delin book in our Gameboomer's bevin yet? I haven't checked it lately.

About the above spoiler:

well, i did the things in T..and dont have that extra Relto book.....even looked at the single player game and went around the back way ...to check the ledge and nothing there...

I've been visiting the guild pubs -- I like the colors. I have been thinking about the weird way I gain entrance to those pubs.

The DRC seems to have rigged the nexus so it responds to what's in my closet. This means they KNOW what's in my closet. And I thought I was alone in there, changing my clothes and the shape of my figure!

Does anyone else find this a bit creepy?

Becky, ewwww! That's creepy.... I hope they're not keeping track of how many times I change my hairstyle!

Gamenut -

I just realized that the symbols on the walls of the guild pubs match the purpose of the guild. Now I'll have to go back to the pubs I first visited and look more closely at the walls. More time spent in the closet.

One of the cartographers at the Cartographer's Guild pointed out that they have a map of D'ni on their floor like the one in the Great Zero. A nice touch.

A question -- there's a Bahro cave in the cleft. The door has been apparently destroyed (?) but I can still hear flappings and Bahro screechings. Um, why can't they leave? And why can't I see them?

BTW -- I've decided that the egg in the egg room is not an egg. Okay, it's not a pistachio nut like I originally thought either.

It's a seed. The podium things under the windows show a picture of the Great Tree.

I think.

Yes....i am getting the ''Big Brother is Watching '' feeling feeling w/the shirts ! whew...time consuming visting all the pubs...don't know why no nexus link in them!!! would have saved some time!...seems like i remember something about the Egg being a Seed from something i read waaaaayyyy back...i could not figure that out either....But then there is a lot about this game and D'ni i haven't figured out...ahhahaa! OH...one thing is: lots of times people say they don't ''see'' me online!..says i am offline...(and i am not).does anyone know what causes that?? I tried to put in a ticket, but had forgotten my password, did ask for it to be sent (2x) AND STILL after a month have not heard a thing back....also: what keys are hit when it says: on surface be right back?....that happens to several people i know and they don't know what causes that...they also have sent in tickets and gotten no response...

I see the "on the surface be right back" thing occasionally too, and I just ignore it. IT doesn't seem to affect anything. I thought maybe I was typing in responses too quickly.

The Kis seem to be a bit finicky lately -- sometimes people aren't listed in my "neighbor" list on the left, while if I open the Ki they ARE in the neighbor list and are online.

I'm wondering if the locations with a nexus link will become important at some point. Will we be linking from location to location via the nexus in order to get something to happen?

Speaking of which -- does anybody remember the numbers in the pods?

i think i wrote down pod #'s...(at least i hope it did)...by the way....i noticed in one of the pubs...cannot remember which one...don't think cartographer's...there is a picture of Teledahn AND in the upper right corner are 3 D'ni numbers....i believe they are 3, 1, 8. (i think).....wonder what THAT is about?! AHEM...also people!!!>>>>drum roll......me, the 'wuss, and supreme klutz, Somehow managed to get a 'sparklie. The thing is ..it is for last month (Jalek), and just noticed it the other day!!! hahahaaa...noticed it looking out the window of my relto! No telling how long it had been there. didn't know what it was..had not gotten one before! Ta-da! hahaha...usually they are gone by the time i ever see or hear of one! Renee, i am going to go back to the ledge area....guess have to go into that area a bit more? Also...saw where there might be a tie-dye tee shirt in the front cargo area, but don't have one. Are they still available?

Thanks Renee. I was in the right place and playing with the right things but I couldn't get the right combination. LOL How's that for cryptic??

Becky - Yes, I think it's a little creepy that they know what's in our closet. Makes me feel like someone with a clipboard came through my Relto when I wasn't "home" and rifled through my unmentionables! And about the egg/seed - was it you I was with when I mentioned that I thought the reflections on the wall inside the egg/seed room seemed to be stronger or bluer? Maybe there is water somewhere down there?

Gamenut - Everyone is having KI issues since Jalak opened. I have one friend in particular with whom I have the problem you described - for a long time I wouldn't see him on my KI. That seems to be fixed but now he's not seeing me on his KI. We've discovered that if we meet up in a common area and the "missing" person links out and back in in our presence, the problem is fixed. Weird, huh?

"On the surface" appears when you are linking from point A to point B (and possibly when you are afk though I am not sure about that one). It's handy to know that someone you are trying to contact can't see your message yet.

Yes, the Ki seems to need new batteries. I find that if someone doesn't show on my (neighbors or age players) list, then linking out and back can fix that.

The seed - great call Becky! And it is even blue, Phil's favorite color. Hmm...Pod numbers...I wrote them down somewhere and remember checking the map in the museum against the numbers. Wonder where I put them?

Gamenut-sounds like someone posted a Ki photo from Sharper's office. Go back up there and try taking a Ki pic,...and if you ever figure out what the 314 (I think that was the number?) is, please tell us!! There is also a place in the hood where a ki photo does interesting things. heheh

Has anyone played any of the players' marker missions? I am having a lot of fun with those right now. Keeps my head from hurting about Phil's ramblings. Rumour has it that Becky made one....

Kate (Katva #969932)

More goodies have been found!! Look closely and find a new Relto addition. To find it, think of birds.

Celtic -- yes, I've been spending a lot more time in the Seed Room since you pointed out the increased activity of the reflections and maybe even the "soup" in there. You can see down a bit further into the soup if you jump and then look down in first person. I tried to get a cone in there to stand on for a better look, but I'm terrible with cones and I couldn't get it through the door.

Kate -- I've now made 2 marker missions. The second one I'm calling "The Watcher's Pub Roundup." Like the first mission in the hood, it's more about setting off as many markers as possible than it is about finding them. Let's just say that I've redecorated the Watcher's Pub, and it's now full of little glowing things.

Yes Kate,

I'm having fun doing Leaping Leprechauns in Ercana, don't know about a leprechaun , mountain goat springs to mind.

Anyways to get in the hole Kate no need to jump, find the ledge at the right height and you run right into it and then you can jump right into the tallest flower.

Becky can you please send me the two games you made, thanks, lor

Lor -- will do the next time I get in. Warning -- they are VERY easy, mostly the pleasure of walking/running/leaping through the markers. I picture them as "something to do while waiting for a game character to show up in a hood or the Watcher's Pub."

The pod numbers are:

Dereno - 25
Payiferen - 18
Negilahn - 18

Can't find Tetsonot's! :-(

hey Becky, it was great fun talking with you the other night! :-)

That was fun ces!

Maybe it's too dark in Tetsonot to see the number. Thanks for those.

Does anyone know which hoods have Rustee's stained glass window in it? I'd love to see it.

Our hood has passed the 9 million pellet mark! There's a celebratory picture on the imager in the hood, showing Soot cheering, Katva looking lovely and happy, and me accidentally elbowing Dudemom 2000. (Sorry Dudemom.)

lol, you didn't elbow me....I was standing just behind you!

Um, have you looked closely at the pic?

Amber Horizons and Uru Obesession both have Rustee's beautiful stained glass. Be sure to congratulate him when you see him online

>Katva looks at her face in the mirror.< Lovely?? I see a LOT of wrinkles...heheh...and yes, sure looked to me like you were punching out poor DudeMom.

Kate (aka Katva)

Oh, oh, oh! Bad me! The pod number I listed for Payiferen is wrong!

Payiferen is 13 (not 18).

I blame it on the pain pills I'm taking for the tooth I had pulled. The real culprit is probably the fact that I need new glasses.

Thanks CES. I'm trying to fit that in with 1, 9, 4, 10 somehow.

Doesn't look too likely, does it?

Tetsonot is 6.

OK, what numbers are you working on Becky? I mean, where did these numbers come from? Should I study the map some more???

Kate (Katva)

Ohhh.... so that's why everyone was running through our Bevin last week. A few of us were hanging out chatting and strangers kept linking in and running by saying that they wanted to look at our stained glass. They must have been looking for Rustee's work. I was very confused about why our stained glass was suddenly so exciting.

I hope to get in the game tonight to find the new Relto page and finally figure out how to get into Phil's Relto. If anyone wants to join me, I'd love the company. I hope to be on by 8:00 pm PST. I think that would be 7:00 Cavern Time.

1, 9, 4, 10 are numbers from Words by the Watcher. "If understood they could save."

Seems like this would be a good time to be saved, as the war may be approaching.

We probably don't know enough yet to interpret them, though. Can't think of a way to relate them to 6, 13, 18, 25 from the pods. Maybe there's a math whiz out there who can?

Hmm. Maybe the pod numbers should be listed in the order in which the pods appeared?

Ack..!!!! It is all i can do to balance the old checkbook! Darn these D'ni and their numbering system and symbols!!! Too crafty for their own good!

Say...i went back to Jalek (don't ask why..) and was looking around, i noticed between the 2 yellow flags a spot high up on Mountain area...looks like where 2 meet....seems to be either a big drawing of some sort, almost looks like a chair-lift. don't see any cables though...can't get close enough to see better...anyone know how to take a picture and blow it up? and show us???
