CCN Gears up with a Meeting

“Only because we love meetings so dearly.”

Last week, the CCN Staff met for the first time since the close of MOUL to celebrate MORE and their future return to their offices in the cavern.  Tyion reported that office construction was still in progress, but it was very difficult to continue assembling the structures without access to the actual office spaces.   He is assembling what parts he can while restricted to the surface.

Veralun surprised us with a call from far away….. somewhere near the Cleft, he said.  He sounded a bit strange as of yet, but he said he was feeling better and was certain he would make a full recovery by the time we resume our work in the Cavern.  He has actually been at work on a web archive of explorer videos that he found in a dusty old basement in a house out in the desert.  How he discovered that house he did not say….  but he did say he would continue gathering and preserving these videos while we waited for the offices to be finished.  The videos he has gathered can be seen here on the website >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

We should add that Altydwarber was quite relieved when Veralun made contact with her several months ago.  She had promised Veralun to keep that news to herself, but when he called us she felt able to /wave and /cheer that her beloved was well.  We all /cheered with her!

Tyion was also busy setting up the new and improved CCN forums.  As the software changed dramatically (and after that little “situation” with the wiring) he discovered the best course of action was to redo and reboot the forums.  So he did, and we all think it very nicely done!  He also mentioned that he is still at work on his audio drama.  He will give us and update at the next meeting.

Ghaelen began work on the new and improved CCN Website, which will carry future CCN CavernCasts, Team Productions (TBA), the Lakewater Theater (featuring the Cavern Players), and CCN’s usual variety programs.  The software now allows us to feed news and programming directly from the site, so she is happily experimenting with the buttons and levers to make the appearance of those program pages just right.  While it will take some time to bring existing programs over to the new site, it is already in progress, and may be complete by the time the Cavern reopens.

Mr. Jules popped in (in his usual way) to say “How Do” and “How does it?”  After a most cordial round of greetings (well, maybe not so much so from Veralun) the staff gave Mr. Jules a far-too-brief snyopsis of their current progres.   Since he didn’t seem to notice, the staff didn’t offer more information on that subject.  he did notice Ruby O’Degee was still absent, which Tyion explained once again.  Ghaelen and Veralun were able to stop the subsequent argument after about five minutes, which they considered quite an accomplishment.

Overall, the meeting was a success.  The next meeting date was scheduled, and Mr. Jules promised to attend for its entirety.

Future meeting topics include, but are not limited to:

~Locating The Lost Cavern Players

~Progress Reports

  • Office Construction Update (Tyion)
  • Archival Department Report (Veralun)
  • Cavern Player Location Efforts (Ghaelen)
  • Staff Health and Absenteeism (Ruby O’Degee)
  • Recent Complaints and Apologies (Mr. Jules)

Everyone hoped that other members of the CCN Staff would also be able to attend the next meeting.

  • Hi dnieverything,

    Sorry for the delayed response. Surface life gets me every time, lol. Thanks for your kind words… we’d love to collaborate with the crew from Blabbity’s Bevin — individually or collectively. If you’d like to join the fun, come on over to the CCN forum http://uruarchives.com/central/index.php We’re working on some new programming and getting ready for MORE.

    I hear what you say about trying to find a replacement for the cavern. It simply isn’t possible, not for me anyway.

    I’m glad to hear you are gathering to put the cavern back together… I would be very interested in knowing how I could get involved. If you are interested in locating the crew from Blabbity’s Bevin, I know that about 20+ players went over to Lord of the Rings online. I could contact them, although they have become fractured in a sad way, the loss of URU tore them apart /sad. There really isn’t another place like it.
