Entry 30 - Minkata Finata

Okay, that was the last Minkata pun.

Yesterday, I finished off Minkata. It didn't take long. I was not surprised to be taken to a Bahro cave in the end, but I was surprised to find an entire well ring there instead of a piece of one. I expected Minkata to be one of a group of four new Ages, but I guess not. There is also a clear space under the Minkata ring which I suspect is for the Path of the Shell Ages which should be coming on line any day now.

I then switched over to Helper HC and went to the Guild of Helpers for some much needed housekeeping. I updated the viewer with our two newest members and added Minkata to the list of starting places for newbies. I was very pleased to see that Helpers is now, well at least yesterday, at the top of the public 'hood list in the Nexus. It was also very clear that there has been no shortage of traffic through our Bevin. This is exciting. I'm getting the feeling that we may be reaching a tipping point soon. Helper420 was there too and we agreed on trying to establish a regular meeting time of every Saturday at 18:00 KI Time. I posted this on the viewer, inviting all those interested to come. It will be interesting to see who shows this weekend.

I also got Helper420 to give me a hand starting the Guild of Truth for my alter ego Stephen Porter. Since all new 'hood names are simply an avatar name followed by "'s Bevin", you need two people to set one up unless you want to run around with an avatar with a goofy nick like "Guild of Truth". I'm getting more and more intrigued with the idea of playing completely within character as Stephen Porter. The guy will be a bit of a knob, but what fun would it be if he wasn't? With the story taking such a dark turn in the last week or so, I really feel there needs to be a voice of dissension that represents the opposite view of organizations like The Great Tree and the Anti-DRC Movement. I'm hoping Stephen and the Guild of Truth can provide the voice.

We'll have to see.
