[MISSION]Mythopoeia/Sophrosune: Make a Register

[bryanflurry]

I'll be glad to help
Is it something like yahoo upcoming that registers a Labyrinth event, but in the Omphaputer?

[Junesun]

Would something like the events system at http://www.learnlangs.com/ringo work? I originally planned it for coordinating public labyrinth runs, so people could easily indicate whether they participate and what tasks they could do. Note that the website is still beta.

^I like the different language support feature
Here's my understanding of the mission so far:

A personal labyrinth? I'm not entirely sure how that would work. There wouldn't be any assistance from the walls and a blindfolded run in circles just seems like a waste of time if you don't quite know what you're doing. I need to finish reading the codex so far. Maybe this has to do with the personal meditation outlined in the Hong Kong artifact? I think our first step should be to figure out what EXACTLY the labyrinth we are registering for entails.

Okay, so it sounds like either we build the labyrinth or it will be shown to us and we'll have to sign in prior to completing it? I'll have to bring this up for discussion when the SF agonothetai meet this Sunday.

[DavFlamerock]

This is true. I intend on trying it out on Saturday (it being my birthday and all), so I'll give feedback on Sunday as well.

Maybe we could place registries in libraries? Most libraries are open to community building events, plus it's free publicity for them and most cities that I know of have a public library system. Either that or we need to find someplace that is a travel marker or navigational aid, like the ancient omphaloi and make that our omphalos location. Maybe if we have any artists out there that can sculpt some kind of container for our registry, we can work out a system from there.

Personally, what it makes me think of is one of those guest books that I've seen left at weddings and various historic places, where you sign to say "I was here" in a way, and to let the person running the wedding/historic site know who's been there, how often people come, where they come from, etc. The difference here is that this register is to say not "I was in this place" but "I will be in such-and-such a place"...to let your parallel selves know where and when to be in order to make the event a synchronized one, allowing for the unifying of your memories across the parallel worlds.

I'm not really sure how signing this register lets your parallel selves know, though...wouldn't they have to be doing a personal labyrinth with you at the same time for them to get the memory of you signing the register? Doesn't that form somewhat of a vicious cycle, a catch-22 as it were? Hmm, maybe when the codex page says, "You must show to the many worlds your intentions to finish the rite beforehand, by signing the labyrinth register," it doesn't mean you are showing your many selves, but somehow informing the many worlds...in some way and for some reason that I don't understand.

[Cineball]

Which is a bit of a catch 22, but if we can log out personal labyrinths on the omphaputer, there has to be some command line for that. Any ideas?

[dreamerblue]

[Cineball]

True, true. So we're back to creating a log book and... hiding it somewhere? That seems reasonable, but a bit tricky. Maybe this is another thing we need to "hide in plain sight."

I think it's the code also, I've been messing with some combination of codes and words(MAKE CREATE REGISTER BUILD OMPH etc), and been trying them in the Omphaputer after the MAKE OMPH KNOT command, to me, it looks like it's "syncing" with the other parallel worlds.

eta: how many parallel worlds are there in the lostring world?, aside from this one and the other one where Eli is helping Ariadne..?
