Beaut artwork, I <3 em! Well, am not disagreeing with the use of Vita brevis, ars longa here or on the email I did not receive. Yet thought y'all might want to know it is originally from Greek & the reason why it's said a lot by tired medical students, interns etc.. Phrase MEANING ETA: Oh, a new & exciting Moorpond Teacher blog post.


Yeah upon further research I saw that, but the email it was in was in reply to our art submissions. So I suspect, but this is just my impression, that they mean art as in artistic endeavors instead of art as craft or skill. It could also be a double entendre. That seems very plausible.

I love your drawing Elethamei! Smile And the name!

 		Getting to this a little late but:

I wish I was good at art. Oh well. Maybe I'll just have to draw a some sort of legendary beast, otherwise know as a mess of squiggly lines with eyes

 		Yeah, I've been poring over that announcement and wondering just what they mean by "portrait", since I can't draw either. Ugh. I've got a character in mind, so I'm wondering what would happen if I just sent in a pic I downloaded. Since I'm just a "member of the community," not a student or anything, what're they gonna do? ;P

 		Just sent in my submission

Quote:
Der Fliegende Eyeapfel (or The Flying Eyeball) is a demon of Der Schwarzwald (The Black Forest). In most tales he would follow children through out the day to ensure they behave. Commonly thought to be a minion of Der Großmann (The Tall Man). It punishes bad children by haunting their dreams and reflecting their nightmares in its deep pupil. Many stories report that children haunted by this demon would disappear within a couple weeks, never to be heard from again.


I gave a simple little picture that I drew. Hopefully it gets thrown up on the site. What do you guys think?

 		Love it! Made me think of a Beholder from D&D Smile

This is mine.

Quote:
When mortals walked earth close to the gods of old, one found herself on the outside seeing only half the world half the life of the mortals. Nyx was saddened that she could not see the mortals while active, getting only second hand stories of what these creatures were like. So she came up with an idea.

Using a weapon of light, Nyx cut her long hair, gathering the strands and at night visited each mortal tying a strand to the foot of each. The next morning as the sun rose, each mortal found a touch of night hovering around them, a shadow.

The shadow was called Skia, a messenger of Nyx. Each human has their own Skia, who brings Nyx stories of the life that they lead during the day.

Good luck with that. I sent an email requesting more information, posing as a parent interested in enrolling her daughter, and thus far I haven't gotten anything that hasn't already been said on their website.

I'm not sure if it's a matter that we just haven't been asking the right questions, or what. I'm starting to lose interest a bit because it seems like updates are slow, and there isn't really a ton of interaction or puzzles to solve.

I'm hopeful, since this is the first time I've really taking part in an arg, at least since the Jadusable haunted Zelda cartridge thing.

Yeah.... still nothing to do. I like the story, and will follow, but not really sure I'm "in"

 		Coffee It's busy at Moorpond with not only a new blog entry titled White Raven but also a makeover at Moorpond School with a Community tab for our submissions.

WOW y'all! Am so impressed by both the artwork and the creative mythos. Also, each of the original "hidden" pages can still be viewed in a cached version on Google.

 		I like where the story is going. Seems really interesting.

One oog thing I noticed about Geneva's blog.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
In my blogger reading list it says that Sandy (who I assume to be the pm) is writing the blog. Little mistake but breaks the immersion just a little bit.

 		There was an update to the webpage. All the "hidden" pages seem to be gone now, and they have (in my opinion at least) a very generic layout. They've added some of our submissions to the page though, so that's neat.

I'm really hoping something happens soon, and I'm hoping that they will give us more to do. I'm feeling underwhelmed by the lack of interaction so far.
