An Unwritten Ending

Posted on by

For those still at the hotel and not the walking dead, lets meet outside the hotel at 8pm, walk to the park, watch the batty bats come out of the cave, walk a labyrinth, and say goodbye to another year of Mysterium

Game Called on Account of Plague

Yes, it’s true. Mysterium ended this year not with a joyous celebration of community, but with a whole lot of praying to the Great Porcelain God.

Sadly, 15-20 Mysterum attendees were struck with what was likely a fast-acting type of norovirus. The good news is that everyone is recovering quickly, and seems to be affected for less than 24 hours total.

So, many things were canceled and/or put on hold.
The Ahyoheek tournament will be decided by going over the existing results.
The Marker Mission winning team will get their participation prize in the mail, and we’ll draw a name for the big prize
WWAD team will be decided by popular vote on the website, look for the poll next week. Prizes will be handled the same as Marker Missions.
Other prizes will be handed out by drawing.
There will be online shirt ordering at some point.

We are in contact with Silverwood about refunds, but that may take some time, and we cannot guarantee a 100% return.

There were extra, unplanned expenses incurred, please consider dropping some change in the donation jar (button) on the right.

Shorah and care to you all,
~Eleri

Shirts, Prizes, & Schedules, Oh My!

Shorah and greetings once again fellow Myst fans! Mysterium 2009 is just two months away! The Mysterium Planning Committee is gearing up for it at full steam, and we’ve got a boat-load of updates for you today.

T-SHIRTS

First, we’re pleased to officially announce our logo contest winners! Two of them, in fact! This years t-shirt designs are from the lovely and talented Jean Fioca, and the equally lovely and talented Claire ‘Shoomlah’ Hummell.

Jean created this year’s front design, a lighthearted celebration of the 10th Mysterium ever.

Claire gives us the back design, a unique representation of all the Myst games to date. See if you can spot all the references!

Our t-shirts will be screen-printed this year. Because of this, we are taking pre-orders on shirts with registrations to get an accurate estimate of how many we need to print. As a result, if you want to ensure you get a shirt, we strongly recommend that you pre-register! Shirts are $14 each for Small through XL sizes (and $15 for XXL shirts). You can order your shirts by visiting the Mysterium website and pre-registering to attend here.

Thank you to all our entrants, you make voting fun! All of this years entries can be viewed here.

PRIZES

Once again, the Mysterium committee is reaching out to our talented community for Myst-themed items that can be given away as prizes at this year’s events. Last year, people went home with limited edition Riven keychains, beautiful handmade books, and unique swag… what will we have for the attendees this year?

Please email eleri@mysterium.net to donate a prize. Thanks so much for helping make Mysterium happen!
