Hey guys!! I have been thinking recently about Hall and was wondering
if there was any interest out there to revive it. I would be
interested in at least once a week for a few hours. Anyone else?

I miss you all :D

Hello, everyone.  Matt here.  I'm sending out a little email to make
sure Yahoo doesn't delete this mostly dormant list, but also to say
I've upgraded the Hall's wiki to the most recent version of MediaWiki.
  This involved backing up the database and restoring it, and deleting
big directories and then replacing them with other directories, and it
looks like it, uh, worked.  However, if you notice anything broken in
the wiki, shoot me an email and I'll ignore it until I guilt myself
into tending to the problem.

Happy April!

Um... hi!  Remember me?  My name's Matt Brooks, and I used to post
transcripts to the Meade Hall site!

Well, I've done and posted some more right now.  I have no idea how
many I've posted (if any) since the last mailing I did, so I'm just
going to mention the three I put up tonight, and if you go to the
site and find something else I'd posted that you hadn't heard about,
let's just call that a bonus and assume that you're happy with the
unexpected reading material.

First, in Innocents Inquirant, Ennis, Temire, and Orlann seek out
Kauriss, hoping she'll come to Temire's aid. Who helps them find
Kauriss, what's lounging on her lawn, and what does Kauriss say
she'll do?
<http://www.meadehall.org/transcripts/1405/20050929-3.shtml>  Then,
in Ties That Bind, following hot on the heels of Innocents Inquirant,
Ennis, Tarri, and Orlann meet up with Nine Fingers at the Selgaunt
City Jail. Talk ensues of dinner, family relations, and a day later,
strings are pulled.
<http://www.meadehall.org/transcripts/1405/20050929-4.shtml>  And
lastly, in A Pregnant Pause, Jewel and Angel have an early morning
Talk. What's bothering Jewel, what does she have to ask Angel, and
what sort of answer does he have?
<http://www.meadehall.org/transcripts/1405/20051127-1.shtml>

That's all for now.  More to come!

I don't remember if I told anyone this or not (this
past week has been crazy busy) but Liz C's surgery has
been rescheduled for Monday, and then she needs
someone to look after her for 24 hours after the
surgery.  So I won't be able to Hall tomorrow.  Sorry
about this.

... is coming to a close.

Unless anyone has a pressing reason not to, tonight's Meade Hall
session will be the last scheduled Monday night session until after
the next plot (whatever it may be, no one has called dibs yet, so if
you've got a plot you want to run, lines are open, and operators are
standing by!) has finished.

Thanks for listening, and I'll see you on the Hall!

Well, I went the whole month of June and didn't manage to write a
single update mail.  If you think this means nothing happened, you
may want to go take a look at the site, and the voluminous transcript
archive.

There is a new bit on the site that should be pointed out.  There's a
new character post, up at
http://www.meadehall.org/characters/ennis.shtml .  Go take a look and
see who the new guy in town is!

That's all, and I'll see you on the Hall!

Yes, indeed, the rumors are true!  Tonight, the 27th of June, there's
an olde-fashioned open Hall session.  The doors of the Meade Hall will
be flung open to all and sundry, and if past experience is any
predictor, then all and sundry is what we'll get.  Come see what
everyone's characters have been up to in the off season, and say what
yours have been doing (if you don't know what they've been up to, now
would be a good time to start thinking something up!).

See you tonight!

--Matt

Hey, Alex!

Wanted to let you know, we've got an intro-type session worked out for
Dagred, so log in sometime and we'll figure out when we can all be
online for the same 2-3 hours to run it.  :)

The Scum plot rolls on, with a bunch of new 'scripts.  First, in News
from the Blushing Maiden, Jade makes her way incognito to a brothel
called The Blushing Maiden. How does she gain entry, who does she
meet there, and what does she learn?
<http://www.meadehall.org/transcripts/1405/20050525-1.shtml>  Then,
in Morning Commute, Dawn and Bienca leave in the morning for Pleasure
Island... and they're not alone. Who's trailing them, how long does
it take them to spot him, and what do they do to their shadow?
<http://www.meadehall.org/transcripts/1405/20050528-1.shtml>.
Shortly after that, in Captured Pawn, Dawn comes back from taking
Bienca to Pleasure Island, and notices a disturbance in the Force.
No, wait, a disturbance in his 'telltales'. Who does he finger, what
does she have to say, and what does she give up?
<http://www.meadehall.org/transcripts/1405/20050528-2.shtml>  Still
that same day, there's Drawing Out the Enemy, where Jewel and Angel
chit-chat in the shoppe. What is Angel puzzling over, is Jewel up for
it, and who's going along for the ride?
<http://www.meadehall.org/transcripts/1405/20050528-3.shtml>.  And
then, *still* that day, in Cats and Mice Bienca returns from work to
find Dawn very out of sorts. What has he been doing, what three ways
is he an idiot, and what news does she have for him?
<http://www.meadehall.org/transcripts/1405/20050528-4.shtml>  Next
day, in A Classic Feint it's more roving action. Angel and Jewel's
apartment, and on the road. Why's Cat kissing Geremi, what does Angel
have to say about it, and what charming man shows up at Jewel's shop?
<http://www.meadehall.org/transcripts/1405/20050529-1.shtml>   And
lastly, there's Queen In Danger, taking place right after (no,
really, RIGHT AFTER) A Classic Feint, Jewel, Snowman, and Tower go
out to lunch. What rituals does Jewel have Snowman go through at the
table, what does Tower think of them, and what are the consequences
for Snowman?
<http://www.meadehall.org/transcripts/1405/20050529-2.shtml>.

That's all for now, I'll see you on the Hall!

time to meet you in that Time Zone (the website says Monday nights

Many many 'scripts since I last wrote ...

Many many 'scripts since I last wrote, since I'm much better about
getting sessions posted than I am writing email about them.  On with
the show!

First, in Dusk's Wake, as the title says, Dusk's wake. Who shows, who
throws things, who's uncouth?
<http://www.meadehall.org/transcripts/1405/20050507-1.shtml>  Then,
moving on to new things, in Opening Gambit, ah, to start out in two
places and end in one. Dawn and Angel go to visit Jinali and Stripes,
while Jewel and Isa finish up a day at the shop. Who visits the shop,
what does Jinali favor as her mufti, and what brings everyone
together?
<http://www.meadehall.org/transcripts/1405/20050517-1.shtml>.
Shortly after that, in Lightly Toasted and Grilled, Dawn deals with
the captive from the attack on Jewel. Who is he, where's he from, and
whatever is he doing here?
<http://www.meadehall.org/transcripts/1405/20050517-2.shtml>.  Next,
in Going Through His Paces, after interrogating Jolly, Dawn creeps
back to tell Bastian what he's discovered. What hypotheses are made,
who do they decide to bring in, and what does does Bastian want to
talk to Dawn about?
<http://www.meadehall.org/transcripts/1405/20050517-3.shtml>.  After
that, there's The Mysterious Talisman, wherein Dawn and Jade meet to
discuss something Dawn took off one of the would-be assassins. What
does it say, what hypotheses are made, and how long does it take for
it to slip out of their fingers?
<http://www.meadehall.org/transcripts/1405/20050519-1.shtml>.  Then,
in White Knight, Dawn leaves Sylvie's, and is followed by two people.
Which one does he talk to, what does she have to say, and where does
he take her?
<http://www.meadehall.org/transcripts/1405/20050523-1.shtml>  And
lastly, in With the Fishes, which ends very far from where it begins.
In the beginning, Bluestar and Dawn have a talk about Bluestar's
mildly psychotic expectations of Dawn. In the end, Angel and Legs are
in a bathhouse, and Legs is cleaning blood of Angel. Legs? Who's
Legs? All the answers are in the middle.
<http://www.meadehall.org/transcripts/1405/20050526-1.shtml>.

And last but not least, we have a new player on the Hall!  Check out
Dagred Brogson's character post at
<http://www.meadehall.org/characters/dagred.shtml> and see who's
showing up for the party!

That's all for now, I'll see you on the Hall!

Everyone:

The server the Meade Hall website and IRC server reside on will be
offline and unavailable for a few hours Friday afternoon and evening,
as it changes its hosting location.  No complications are expected,
and hopefully by later Friday evening, as DNS updates to reflect the
new location, everything will be available without any sort of
"hitch."

Please ignore the malevolent chuckling of the computer gods.  :)

People have been busy playing, I've been busy posting, I haven't
written update mail.  Mea maxima culpa.

First, in A Quiet Evening At Home, an assassin and his bride have a
quiet night together. Until the nightmare. Whose is it, who are they
going to see about it, and what special talk takes place?
<http://www.meadehall.org/transcripts/1405/20050425-1.shtml>  Then,
in Unofficially... , Dawn visits Bienca. What news has he heard,
how's he taking it, and what does he recommend?
<http://www.meadehall.org/transcripts/1405/20050426-1.shtml>  Next,
in Taking What's Offered, Dawn makes his report to Bastian, and goes
out to get shit-faced. Who does he encounter, where does she take
him, and what does he introduce her to?
<http://www.meadehall.org/transcripts/1405/20050426-2.shtml>  After
that, in Officially, Angel fails to sit in one place, and gets up.
After he gets Jewel, where does he go, what's his official statement,
and what's Bienca going to do now?
<http://www.meadehall.org/transcripts/1405/20050426-3.shtml>   Then,
in Night Falls Angel finishes his interview, Jewel chimes in, and
Dawn returns to report. What's happened, what state is Dawn in, and
who comes to soothe him?
<http://www.meadehall.org/transcripts/1405/20050428-1.shtml>  The
events Dawn recounts in Night Falls are available in the Writings
section of the site, in the story Close of Dusk, at
<http://www.meadehall.org/writings/closeofdusk.shtml>  Next, in Dawn
Report, A soot-covered Orlann comes back to Tarri. Where's he been,
what has he heard, and what's going to happen?
<http://www.meadehall.org/transcripts/1405/20050429-1.shtml>  Then,
in Bearing Witness, Jewel visits Andrial. What does she do with the
knife she picks up while she's there, what does she ask of Andrial,
and what does she have Andrial ask of her in return?
<http://www.meadehall.org/transcripts/1405/20050430-1.shtml>  Shortly
after that is Fallen Angel, where Jewel confronts Angel with what she
now knows. How does he react, what breaks him down, and what keeps
him together?
<http://www.meadehall.org/transcripts/1405/20050430-2.shtml>  Next,
in Under the Camouflage, Dawn visits Jewel's shoppe. What does he
bring with him, what does he say when he sees Jewel's bruises, and
what advice does he leave her with?
<http://www.meadehall.org/transcripts/1405/20050502-1.shtml>  A few
days later, in Garden of Questions, Geremi and Dawn have a nice chat
in a temple garden. What truck hit Angel, what does Geremi have to
tell Dawn, and what does Dawn have to tell Geremi?
<http://www.meadehall.org/transcripts/1405/20050504-1.shtml>  Then,
in The Apprentice, Dawn visits Andrial and Calis. What have the
Dragons said to Andrial about their investigations, what does Dawn
have in mind for Calis, and what almost makes Dawn do a spit-take?
<http://www.meadehall.org/transcripts/1405/20050505-1.shtml>  And
lastly, in Bitter Dose,  it's the day of Vander's funeral, while
Bastian is out, Dawn visits Jewel. What as he found in Dusk's
effects, what are the implications, and what will Jewel do about it?
<http://www.meadehall.org/transcripts/1405/20050506-1.shtml>  To see
what Bastian is up to, look to the Writings section, and the piece
titled Ghosts of Marsember.
<http://www.meadehall.org/writings/ghostsofmarsember.shtml>

That's all for now, I'll see you on the Hall!

Three more new ones (yes, there's a lot of activity on IRC lately) on
the site!  First, in Unexpected Entanglements, Dawn and Angel and
Andriel and Jewel and Dusk all end up at the same rickety tavern in
Marsember. What's everyone doing there, how does Andriel react to
finding someone back from the dead, and who's not so happy?
<http://www.meadehall.org/transcripts/1405/20050423-1.shtml>.  Taking
place mostly concurrently with the last half of that transcript is
Come Clean, where Dawn and Dusk go to check up on Andriel. What sort
of a state is she in, what does Dawn ask of her, and what does she
have to say about it?
<http://www.meadehall.org/transcripts/1405/20050423-2.shtml>.  And
then, the day after, in Fighting The Green-Eyed Monster Dawn and
Jewel aren't saying much. At first, at least. Who breaks the ice,
what exactly is bothering Jewel this time, and does Dawn have any
advice? <http://www.meadehall.org/transcripts/1405/20050424-1.shtml>.

That's all for now.  I'll see you on the Hall!

There's new stuff on the site, and it's not just transcripts!  There
is a new transcript, of course, though.  In Ancient History, Dawn and
Jewel have a little chit-chat. Revealed, how Dawn met Dusk, why Dawn
is so skittish around psionics, and more details about Dawn and
Dusk's past.
<http://www.meadehall.org/transcripts/1405/20050421-1.shtml>

The other new thing is a new writing piece!  It's called A Troubled
Sleep, and in it, Jewel starts awake from a restless sleep.  What's
on her mind?  Quite a bit, actually.  Find out more at
<http://www.meadehall.org/writings/troubledsleep.shtml>

That's all for now, I'll see you on the Hall!

Two more new transcripts since last night!  Here we go....

First, on the day after Free and Clear, we've got Honey, I'm Home,
Jewel returns to her apartment to find a single red rose waiting for
her. Who left it there (okay, so this question is a gimme), where's
he been, and what news do they have to share?
<http://www.meadehall.org/transcripts/1405/20050417-1.shtml>.  And a
few days later, in Idle Conversation Lisl's having a drink of sorts
in the Weasel's Warren, when who should wander in but Dawn. Who gets
whom a drink, what's Lisl up to right now, and what does she have for
Dawn? <http://www.meadehall.org/transcripts/1405/20050420-1.shtml>.

That's all for now, I'll see you on the Hall!

Yes, I'm behind on the updates again!  My most sincere apologies, as usual.

First, in All In His Head, Cat rests next to Bastian, reaches out...
and finds a note someone's left for her. What kind of note is it and
what's inside?
<http://www.meadehall.org/transcripts/1405/20050407-2.shtml>  Then,
in Tea and Gossip, Prinda comes by to visit with Cat. What's up with
the tentative opening greetings, what has Prinda been up to, and what
has been going on with the graduates from the psionics school?
<http://www.meadehall.org/transcripts/1405/20050411-1.shtml>  Next,
in On the Mend, Angel drops in on Dawn while Cat has her tea pahtee.
Who's zonked on Dawn's sofa, what does Angel have to say to Dawn
about his time inside, and where does he go at the end of the
session?
<http://www.meadehall.org/transcripts/1405/20050411-2.shtml>.  After
that, in Shedding Some Light, after her tea party with Prinda, Jewel
goes back to visit Dawn and Dusk. What's her reaction to Angel's
absence, what revelation does Dusk make, and what promise does he
exact from Jewel?
<http://www.meadehall.org/transcripts/1405/20050411-3.shtml>.  Then,
in Working Off the Tension, it's been two days, Angel's not back yet,
so Jewel goes to see Dawn and Dusk for some tension relief. Which one
does she end up with, what do they discuss, and what shouldn't Angel
find out about?
<http://www.meadehall.org/transcripts/1405/20050413-1.shtml>.  Next,
in Free And Clear, Dawn, Jewel, and an unconscious third party pay
someone a visit. Whom do they visit, who's the sleeping
accompaniment, and what deal is struck?
<http://www.meadehall.org/transcripts/1405/20050416-1.shtml>.  And
lastly, in Do The Right Thing, Orlann comes to see Tarri. What's
wadded up under his arm, what does he need from Tarri, and how is he
going to risk his career?
<http://www.meadehall.org/transcripts/1405/20050418-1.shtml>

That's all for now (more soon!), and I'll see you on the Hall!

Two new 'scripts up on the Hall site.  In the first one, Cemetery
Angel, it's a dead man's party, who could ask for more? Dusk, Dawn,
and Jewel traipse into the city cemetery to dig up the only mostly
dead Angel. How do they find his unmarked grave, and what witty
banter is tossed about?
<http://www.meadehall.org/transcripts/1405/20050406-1.shtml>.  And
then, a few hours later, in Ministering Angel, bathing and stitching,
washing and cleansing. It's not an episode of M*A*S*H, but it's the
Scum! While Angel gets first, second, and third aid, what did he
spill while he was in prison, what's going to have to be dome about
it with the Guild, and who's going to die?
<http://www.meadehall.org/transcripts/1405/20050407-1.shtml>

That's all for now, I'll see you on the Hall!

A bunch of transcripts have gone up on the site, and I've been slack
in sending out update notes about them.  So, basically, the status
quo.  Here's what's new!

First, in Keeper of Secrets, Jewel is working and Angel is laying
about when Bienca stops by. What exactly is going on with Bienca, who
does she have to talk to about it, and what is she worried about?
<http://www.meadehall.org/transcripts/1405/20050310-1.shtml>  Then,
in the possibly erroneously titled Later, That Same Evening, picking
up where the last session left off, Dawn arrives in a hurry. What's
happened, how is the psionic's school involved, and what's the new
twist on things?
<http://www.meadehall.org/transcripts/1405/20050310-2.shtml>  Next,
in I Hate Waiting, Jewel has visitors at her shoppe. What is the news
of the day, what does everyone think it means, and what comes next?
<http://www.meadehall.org/transcripts/1405/20050331-1.shtml>  After
that, in Breaking Out Is Hard To Do, Bienca arrives with goodies for
the crew. What does she have, whom does Dawn remember, and what does
Jewel decide to do?
<http://www.meadehall.org/transcripts/1405/20050404-1.shtml>  And
lastly, in Beauty Is As Beauty Does, Dawn and Dusk obtain entry to a
local shoppe. Who... or *what* awaits them inside, who are they there
to see, and what deal do they make?
<http://www.meadehall.org/transcripts/1405/20050405-1.shtml>

Also, there's been some more activity on the wiki at
http://www.meadehall.org/patrons_only/settings/index.php/Main_Page .
Take a peek at the Recent Changes page (there's a link in the
left-hand sidebar) and see what's up!

That's all for now, I'll see you on the Hall!

Yes, Hall fans, it's that moment you've all been waiting for, the
first transcript of 2005!  It's called Growing Pains, and in it, Dusk
and Jewel have a sparring/training session. How does it go for Jewel,
what questions does she have for Dusk, and what questions about Mace
does he have for her?

That's all for now, I'll see you on the Hall!

Just a little announcement to say Sarah Pearl Brandt was born at
1:19PM today, weighing 9 pounds, 4 ounces, and measuring in at 22
inches long.  Mom and baby are doing well.

Yes, I know we're idle, but there's still a new transcript up on the
Hall site!  In Idle Hands, Aeryn comes to visit Jaret. What does he
bring, what does Jaret tell him he's up to, and what does Aeryn have
to say about it?
<http://www.meadehall.org/transcripts/1404/20041214-1.shtml>

That's all for now.  See you around!

We would like to remind you of this upcoming event.

Hall Session

Date: Monday, November 29, 2004
Time: 8:00PM - 10:00PM EST (GMT-05:00)

All:

It's been brought to my attention that several people are no longer
having fun playing on the Meade Hall, and want to take a break from
playing.  At present, the plan is to have this coming Monday,
November 29th as the last regular Monday night session for some time.

Everyone is welcome to schedule sessions on their own, and they will
be posted to the site quickly.  Personally, I look forward to doing
sessions to advance the plot I'd started with Jaret.

I look forward to sending out email sometime in the new year
announcing the Hall's return.  Until then, I'll see you around.

Okay, so the last time I sent out an update mail was in August.
Granted, it was August 31st, but um... I hope September was okay for
you.  Subscribing to the RSS feed at
http://www.meadehall.org/transcripts.xml ?  Good.  :D

I'll get to the new transcripts (some of which aren't so new anymore)
soon, but first, a bit of news about the site configuration.  Today I
moved all the old Hall transcripts out into the public side of the
site.  I'd talked this over with several of you, and had received a
uniformly positive response to the idea.  The initial reason for
having the transcripts behind a login -- to encourage people to
register -- hasn't happened.  Having the transcripts behind a login
also means they haven't been indexed by Google (or other search
engines), and we've had to make do with an
okay-but-definitely-not-Google search utility.

I'm going to give the new configuration a few days, and give people a
chance to poke around and see if there are any broken links that need
fixing, and also to give people one last chance to comment on the
idea, and then I'll remove stricture on the transcripts folder that
asks search engines to not index it.  Soon after, the search page
will be changed to use Google's index of the site.

Now that's done... on to the new (and not so new) transcripts!

First, in Unexpected Returns Jaret receives two unexpected visitors.
Where have they been, how are they now, and where does he take them?
<http://www.meadehall.org/transcripts/1404/20040901-1.shtml>.  Then,
in Absorbing News Glossaria comes to Vallel on their anniversary with
some surprising news. How does he react, what plans do they make, and
how does Zoya feel about it?
<http://www.meadehall.org/transcripts/1404/20040910-1.shtml>.  Next,
on the Monday night session from September 13th it's a mucky day in
Marsember, and Michelle is keeping the Patrons drinks filled. What
forestry development does Michelle jestingly suggest, what has Tarri
been up to lately, and Jaret espouses some predictable weaponry
opinions
<http://www.meadehall.org/transcripts/1404/20040913-1.shtml>.  Then,
in Kevil's Forfeits Glossaria visits the Talarin household with her
news, and finds Kevil home. How does he surprise her, who were
Kevil's two forfeits, and what does Kevil offer to share with Vallel?
<http://www.meadehall.org/transcripts/1404/20040917-1.shtml>.
Following that is the September 20th session, wherein Rhys is tending
bar this Monday night. What has Tarri just done, there's a question
of melonry, and what new law has Orlann all grouchy?
<http://www.meadehall.org/transcripts/1404/20040920-1.shtml>  Next,
in Control Freak Someone's in the kitchen with Liiiiiiiiiiiisl,
someone in the kitchen we know oh oh oh... Who is it, what jewelry
does he have that sends Lisl into a furor, and what does Lisl send
him away with?
<http://www.meadehall.org/transcripts/1404/20040926-1.shtml>.  Then,
in the September 27th session Nacheyla's behind the bar tonight, and
it's fitting the Blessed Mother is there, because it's baby night on
the Hall. How is Glossaria's condition progressing, what has Tarri
been up to, and what can't Nacheyla stand?
<http://www.meadehall.org/transcripts/1404/20040927-1.shtml>  And a
week from then, on October 4th Michelle's keeping an eye on things
tonight, as Lisl arrives with a goal for the winter, someone with an
agenda arrives to speak to Jaret, and Jaret gets himself in a
lifetime of trouble.
<http://www.meadehall.org/transcripts/1404/20041004-1.shtml>  And
lastly, on October 11th Rhys's behind the bar tonight as everyone's
drinking chai, giving the battered and bruised Temire some advice,
and not listening to the conversation Jaret and Candra are having.
Except, of course, for those people who aren't.
<http://www.meadehall.org/transcripts/1404/20041011-1.shtml>

That's all for now (what, you want MORE?!), I'll see you on the Hall!

                        I solemnly swear I am up to no good.

                     <http://www.widomaker.com/~walker/>

There's two new transcripts up on the Hall site. First, in A Keen
Proposal, Lisl hikes out to Jaret's house on one of the hottest days
of the summer. What did she bring along for the trip, what does she
ask of Jaret, and what does Jaret have a vast supply of?
<http://www.meadehall.org/transcripts/20040825-1.shtml>  And then on
Monday night, Everyone comes back. No, seriously, everyone. Braz is
going to have to bring Marten/Moon Dancer/Taliaferro/Throat Warbler
Mangrove back in order to top this.
<http://www.meadehall.org/transcripts/20040830-1.shtml>.

That's all for now, I'll see you on the Hall!
