November 02 Fast update Fast update, with no willingness to update my blog althought I'd have so many new things to tell. But I won't, ya know, I'm a shy boy. Much better to be the riddler (ask me why all mother beneath the earth and sky hold their children's hands for a while their hearts forever yours and mine).... ehm anyway....much better to be the riddler and let just a few understand :) I like to make riddles Nice period this one. Started University, found there so many new people and most importantly so much more similar to me. I'd never had friends much similar to me, not at all. Science minded, inclined to scientific jokes, like videogames, like good music, first of all metal.  Now I feel good. I even got one interested in Myst, and this is good, it's my first time...let's see how far he gets.Doesn't matter that man has no wings, as long as I hear the nightingale sing!! June 02 Quotes - TarjaIn the night I feel the cold of my loneliness Cold that embraces my heart Draining my strength to fight Only to breathe this suffering
Tell me why? Why must I bear this cross So heavy for my soul? Please hold me in your love
Let me die Give me the light I'm waiting for death to knock on my door to release my pain My sadness in the night
Every day I dream of sunlight in my dark room I want to find a reason why Justify my reason to stay alive Within this pain
-Sadness in the night ---------------------------
Tired of being alone
what you have dreamed is not what i am so far let me be the one please understand me how i am but i don't want , to walk alone i need your hands to warm my soul
Tired of being alone Tired of being alone
-Tired if being alone --------------------------- Overwhelming love, heaven's just a feeling.
-Die Alive --------------------------- all he needed was a gentle heart
-Boy and the Ghost ------------------------------------------------- Your cruel device
-Poison ------------------------------------- Open your heart, to close our great divide.
-Our great divide ------------------------------------- Frozen in time yearning forbidden wishes. Every single dawn I die again.
-Damned and divine ------------------------------------- I cut my heart, a gift to you You leave salt in my wound You are inside my wall of thoughts But in yours I'm unknown
My desperation finds a book of heroes gone Legends tell about a saviour wise and strong I'm burning at the stake of love, the flames get tall And in my anguish he's the last resort to call
And suddenly, my seer is on my side Bringing love while forgetting his pride In his eyes I see there'll be better times along my way
Nothing to fear Nothing to fear
Why is it called Elysian Fields When love builds only grief All your agony and pain Stays the same till you see
That destination shows you legends long extinct Rumours are told about a hero kind and skilled I'm burning at love's stake and that's the end I feel
But suddenly my seer is on my side Bringing love while forgetting his pride In his eyes I see there'll be better times along my way
As he longs to speak to me I realise the reflection while listening His words mend all my wounds, cause he is me My seer lives inside of me
When suddenly, my seer is on my side Bringing love while forgetting his pride In his eyes I see there'll be better times along my way
Nothing to fear My seer is near There's nothing to fear My seer is near My seer is near
-The seer ----------------------------
Quotes - Within Temptation 2Come into my world, See through my eyes. Try to understand, Don't want to lose what we have.
See who I am, Break through the surface. Reach for my hand, Let's show them that we can Free our minds and find a way. The world is in our hands, This is not the end.
Fear is withering the soul At the point of no return. We must be the change we wish to see.
-See who I am ------------------------------ I can see When you stay low nothing happens Does it feel right?
Late at night Things I thought I put behind me Haunt my mind
Stand my ground, I won't give in No more denying, I've got to face it Won't close my eyes and hide the truth inside If I don't make it, someone else will Stand my ground
-Stand my ground ------------------------------ I have to try To break free From the thoughts in my mind Use the time that I have I can say goodbye Have to make it right Have to fight 'Cause I know in the end it's worthwhile That the pain that I feel slowly fades away It will be all right
Oh, this night is too long Have no strength to go on No more pain I'm floating away
-Pale ------------------------------ Together in all these memories I see your smile All the memories I hold dear Darling you know I love you till the end of time
-Memories ------------------------------ Fear of who I am becoming I fear that I'm losing The struggle within I can no longer restrain it My strength, it is fading I have to give in
-It's the fear ------------------------------ Lost in the darkness Hoping for a sign Instead there's only silence Can't you hear my screams?
Never stop hoping Need to know where you are But one thing's for sure You're always in my heart
[Chorus:] I'll find you somewhere I'll keep on trying Until my dying day I just need to know Whatever has happened The truth will free my soul
Lost in the darkness Tried to find your way home I want to embrace you And never let you go
Almost hope you're in heaven So no one can hurt your soul Living in agony Cause I just do not know Where you are
[Chorus]
Wherever you are I won't stop searching Whatever it takes me to know
[Chorus]
-Somewhere ----------------------------- Where are the heroes In my time of need Is my crying abandoned? Or have they gone Oh no
They just tend to stand Out of the rain Thinking but not acting That they're not to blame
Falling and crawling A fight to stand up Memory still haunts me In the dead of night
Over and over I felt so small But one day I'll be stronger And you better watch out
[Chorus:] I will overcome In violence there's silence Oh no, It can't be undone I will overcome Knowing that I'm not the only one I will overcome It's the only way to carry on
Where are the saviours Afraid of the toll Sorry do my nine inch nails Slash your soul?
Such heroes Throwing stones Straight at the one Who is standing alone?
Twisting and turning It's always the same The truth is never honest When you're to blame
Pushing and pulling Never give in One day I wish You see you're not so beautiful within
[Chorus]
Run and run Run and run
[Chorus]
I will overcome
-Overcome ---------------------------- I did my best to please you But my best was never good enough Somehow you're only able to see All I am not Did you ever look behind Aren't you afraid of the pieces you'll find I have failed you But you have failed me too It's so easy to destroy and condemn The ones you do not understand Do you ever wonder if it's justified It's so easy to destroy and condemn The ones you do not understand In your life why didn't you ever try I close my eyes as I walk the thin line between love and hate For the person with the same blood in his veins You show no regrets About all the things you did or said I have failed you But believe me you failed me too It's so easy to destroy and condemn The ones you do not understand Do you ever wonder if it's justified It's so easy to destroy and condemn The ones you do not understand In your life why didn't you ever try It's so easy to destroy and condemn The ones you do not understand Do you ever wonder if it's justified It's so easy to destroy and condemn The ones you do not understand Do you ever wonder if it's justified
-Destroyed ----------------------------- No matter how many stones you put inside She always keeps on floating in your mind With every turn of your head you see her face again Until the end, over and over again
Why, you just won't leave my mind Was this the only way I couldn't let you stay
-Jane Doe ----------------------------- It's burning me up inside Lost all my tears, can't cry No reason, no meaning Just hatred No matter how hard I try You fear the beast inside It's growing, it's waiting Just to hurt you
-Blue Eyes ----------------------------- Do you wanna feel how it feels?
Do you wanna hear about the deal that I'm making?
And if I only could Make a deal with God And have him swap our places
Is there so much hate for the ones we love? Oh tell me we both matter, don't we?
C'mon baby, c'mon darling Let me steal this moment from you now C'mon angel, c'mon, c'mon darling Let's exchange the experience
-Running up that hill ---------------------------- Quotes - Within Temptation 1Would you mind if I hurt you?
Understand that I need to Wish that I had other choices Than to harm the one I love
What have you done now
I know I'd better stop trying You know that there's no denying I won't show mercy on you now
I know I should stop believing I know that there's no retrieving
I, I've been waiting for someone like you But now you are slipping away What have you done now Why, Why does fate make us suffer There's a curse between us Between me and you
Would you mind if I killed you Would you mind if I tried to Cause you have turned into my worst enemy
-What have you done -------------------------------- In my darkest hours -Our Solemn Hour -------------------------------- Nothing's ever changed, you still turn away You've washed your hands, you've made that all too clear You just keep on living this lie
You refuse to see, you're denying me the cross I bear but you don't seem to care Even Judas knew he had lied
I keep wondering why I'm still calling your name through my tears
Why have you waited to embrace me my dear? Cold is your silence, denying what is real I'm still wondering why I'm still calling your name my dear
I'm sorry if you can't stand the naked truth All you see is how you want it to be So you keep on living your life
Release me from this cross after all these years Oh call my name and help me with this weight Even though it comes far too late
I keep wondering why I'm still calling your name through my tears
Why have you waited to embrace me my dear Cold is your silence, denying what is real I'm still wondering why I'm still calling your name and I wonder, oh I wonder ...
In my heart I still hope you will open the door You can purify it all, answer my call
Why? Why?
Why have you waited to embrace me my dear? Cold is your silence, denying what is real I'm still wondering why I'm still calling your name and I wonder, oh I wonder ...
In my heart I still hope you will open the door You can purify it all, answer my call
-The Cross --------------------------------- I´m searching, I´m fighting for a way to get through To turn it away
It´s waiting, always trying I feel the hands of fate, they´re suffocating Tell me what´s the reason Is it all inside my head Can´t take it no more!
But no one faced what's coming my way And I will let my fear fade away Whatever may be, I'll have to find out
-Final Destination -------------------------------- I'm dying to catch my breath oh why don't i ever learn I've lost all my trust that i'm sure we try to Turn it around
Can you still see the heart of me all my agony fades away when you hold me in your embrace

-All I need ------------------------------- Love you so it hurts my soul Can you forgive me for trying again Your silence makes me hold my breath
Watch the clouds drifting away Still the sun can't warm my face I know it was destined to go wrong
-Forgiven ------------------------------ Wish You Were Here Me, oh, my country man Wish You Were Here I Wish You Were Here Don't you know, the snow is getting colder And I miss you like hell And I'm feeling blue
Wish You Were Here Me, oh, my country man Wish You Were Here I Wish You Were Here Don't you know, the snow is getting colder And I miss you like hell And I'm feeling blue
I've got feelings for you Do you still feel the same? From the first time I laid my eyes on you I felt joy of living I saw heaven in your eyes In your eyes
Wish You Were Here Me, oh, my country man Wish You Were Here I Wish You Were Here Don't you know, the snow is getting colder And I miss you like hell And I'm feeling blue
I miss your laugh, I miss your smile I miss everything about you Every second's like a minute Every minute's like a day When you're far away
The snow is getting colder, baby I Wish You Were Here A battlefield of love and fear And I Wish You Were Here
I've got feelings for you From the first time I laid my eyes on you
Wish You Were Here Me, oh, my country man Wish You Were Here I Wish You Were Here Don't you know, the snow is getting colder And I miss you like hell And I'm feeling blue
(Wish you were here) Wish you were here Wish you were here (Wish you were here) I wish you were here
-Wish you were here ------------------------------- Come near me, enter my private chambers, I want to feel the warmth on my face, light-in darkness, lift me up from here. Give me you wings, to flee from my ivory tower.
-Enter ------------------------------- Fallen from grace, help me rise again. Fallen from grace, help me through.
Feel these hands, the pressure, the cold, tremble.
Do you hear these words. Do you feel the wounds.
-Grace ------------------------------- In my hands A legacy of memories I can hear you say my name I can almost see your smile Feel the warmth of your embrace But there is nothing but silence now
I feel so lost when you are not by my side
-Our Farewell ------------------------------- Always there to remind me It keeps me from believing That someone might be there Who'll free me and never ever leave me
-Caged ------------------------------- Never thought things would change Hold me tight
A bitter thought I had it all But I just let it go Hold your silence It's so violent
-Bittersweet ------------------------------- May 13 GriefThis is me, for forever one of the lost ones for hope I'd give my everything. Can you still see the heart of me all my agony fades away when you hold me in your embrace. Don't tear me down for all I need make my heart a better place give me something I can believe.  December 13 Rinascita!
Meno male che ero uno di quelli che non credevano assolutamente che la Cyan avrebbe reso il tutto Open Source. Addirittura il codice del lato server...incredibile. Spero tanto che le speranze di Tony si avverino.
OMG!!!! And I was the one who asbolutely didn't believe Cyan would have turned MOUL to Open Source. Even the Server Code...that's astonishing!

October 30 Deceiver of FoolsPer chi sa capire....
(http://it.youtube.com/watch?v=KrdjcNtMKO8 versione originale)
He feeds on fear
He feeds on pain He rules again With growing hate He will gain Their faith again No light in the darkness Is too small to see There's always a sparkle of hope If you just believe He told the tale so many times
About the dream not meant to be
In a world of the free
He plays with your mind
As faith for the future faded fast
He grows strong with their displeasure
It sets him free
Deceiver of hearts
Deceiver of fools
He rules with fear
Deceiver of hearts
Deceiver of fools
He rules again
He feeds on fear
Poisons the truth
To gain their faith
To lead the way
To a world of decay
He rules your heart
He will sell your soul to the grave
No hesitation he'll make
He belongs to the dark
Deceiver of hearts
Deceiver of fools
He rules with fear
Deceiver of hearts
Deceiver of fools
He rules again
Please awake
And see the truth
He can only be
If you believe what he tells you
Remember who you are
What you stand for
And there will always be a way
Deceiver of hearts
Deceiver of fools
He rules with fear
Deceiver of hearts
Deceiver of fools
He rules again
In my heart there is a place
In my heart there is a trace
Of a small fire burning
A sheltering ray shines through this night
Although it's small, it's bright
But darkness is lurking
He will sell your soul to bitterness and cold
Fear him
Deceiver of hearts
Deceiver of fools
He rules with fear
Deceiver of hearts
Deceiver of fools
Shall he rule again? October 15 Final DestinationI escaped my final moment
But it´s turning back at me
On every corner I can feel it waiting
Just a moment, no awareness
I could easily slip away
And then I´ll be gone forever
I´m searching,
I´m fighting for a way to get through
To turn it away
It´s waiting, always trying
I feel the hands of fate, they´re suffocating
Tell me what´s the reason
Is it all inside my head
Can´t take it no more!
All around me I see danger
And it´s closing in on me
Every second I can hear it breathing
I can´t stand the fear inside me
Cause it´s leading me astray
And it will be my ending
I´m searching
I´m fighting for a way to get through
To turn it away
It´s waiting, always trying
I feel the hands of fate, they´re suffocating
Tell me what´s the reason
Is it all inside my head
Can´t take it no more!
But no one faced what's coming my way
And I'll let my fear fade away
Whatever may be, I'll have to find out
It´s waiting, always trying
I feel the hands of fate, they´re suffocating
Tell me what´s the reason
Is it all inside my head
Can´t take it no more! September 25 Lezioni d'OrgoglioUn Viaggio si è dipanato davanti a me, anni fa.
L'ho seguito, inizialmente per gioco, era solo uno dei tanti giochi.
Poi ho cominciato a capire che dietro la maschera del gioco si nascondeva un Viaggio che guidava attraverso importanti concetti; un discorso.
Il Discorso d'Orgoglio, volto a rivelare le Lezioni d'Orgoglio.
Ho seguito il Viaggio con curiosità, impreparato a quello che avrei trovato, incosciente di quello a cui stavo andando incontro.
Un gioco che nasconde le lezioni per la vita.
Non sono bravo a spiegarlo e ci sono sicuramente parti del Viaggio che non ho ancora compreso.
Le lezioni d'Orgoglio insegnano di come l'Orgoglio sia la rovina di tutto. Quando la persona è Orgogliosa arriva immediatamente all'arroganza, perchè è l'Orgoglio stesso che necessita di difesa.
Vuoi andare contro l'arroganza? Devi eliminare anche l'Orgoglio. L'opposto dell'Orgoglio si chiama umiltà. Conquista l'umiltà e seppellisci l'Orgoglio per avere l'armonia e la quiete.
Le frasi sono già composte, le ho selezionate dal più grande discorso per evidenziare le Lezioni d'Orgoglio:
Perhaps the ending has not yet been written - Forse la fine non è ancora stata scritta August 21 La Prova - The ProofL'ho sempre detto che c'era qualcosa di più nella Comunità di Myst che ci univa...non era solo il gioco.
Una buona spiegazione del perchè restiamo insieme dopo tutte le cadute di Myst la potete trovare nella Newsletter della Gilda dei Messaggeri che uscirà tra qualche giorno (ho appena finito la traduzione in italiano e appena blutec mi invia il layout la metto online)
Ma non sono venuto certo qui per far pubblicità alla Gilda.
Ho finalmente trovato anche la prova scientifica. Se qualcuno mi avese chiesto perchè stiamo insieme fino a ieri avrei risposto perchè Myst è riuscito a riunire persone che hanno un carattere molto raro, tutte insieme. Persone che a causa della rarità in genere tendono a chiudersi e sembrare timide e distanti.
Quante ho volte ho letto messaggi che finivano con questa frase "Thank you, you brought me out of my shell", lascio a voi la traduzione.
Ora ho capito che effettivamente avevo ragione, ci tiene insieme il fatto che stiamo bene insieme e che nel mondo esterno è assolutamente difficile trovare altre persone così.
Ed ecco la prova "scientifica":
La psicologia/sociologia suddivide le persone in molti tipi di personalità, secondo due metodi: il sistema di Myers-Briggs e il sistema di Keirsey.
La tipologia in assoluto più rara di persona è la tipologia INTJ (Introversione, Intuizione, Pensiero, Giudizio) per il metodo Myers-Briggs, che corrisponde alla tipologia "Mastermind" del sistema Keirsey. Leggete le definizioni, molto Myststiche, no?
La percentuale mondiale di questo tipo di persone è stimata all'incirca sull'1% della popolazione.
Ora, facendo un'analisi delle personalità nella Comunità di Myst abbiamo notato una cosa stupefacente, cioè che la personalità INTJ invece di essere la più scarsa, nella comunità risulta essere tra le più comuni.
Questa è la forza che ci tiene insieme e a giudicare dalla descrizione è anche la forza che ci permette di portare a successo i nostri progetti.
 Ed è anche la spiegazione del perchè così pochi di noi se ne vanno: una volta che trovi un intero gruppo che pensa come te......Ecco il topic del forum di MystCommunity dove sono stati postati alcuni dei risultati: http://www.mystcommunity.com/board/index.php?showtopic=30003&st=0
Ovviamente non si arriva al 100%, ci sono molte altre personalità ma il 90% ha in comune una cosa: la I, di Introversione. La seconda lettera più frequente è la N, di iNtuitivo. e anche la J si vede spesso, di Giudizio.
Passando ai miei risultati. Anch'io sono risultato INTJ o Mastermind, seppure con un paio di percentuali un po' basse.
I miei risultati: è interessante vedere come coincida anche il tipo di carriera lavorativa consigliata.
Voi che personalità avete?: Fate il Test (in Inglese)
Fate li test (In Italiano. Non è bello come quello inglese, però funziona)
I've always said that there is something more that keeps the Uru Community together...not only the game.
A good explanation of the reasons why we sticky around after all the Mys falls can be found in the August Newsletter of the GoMe, which should be out for tomorrow (just finished the Italian translation)
But I didn't come to to advertise the Guild.
Eventually I've found the scientific proof, too. Till yesterday if someone asked me why we stick together I'd have replied: because Myst has been able to unite people who have a rare personality, all together. People that usually, because of the rarity, tend to close themslves and they seem shy and distant.
How many time I read messages that ended with this sentence: "Thank you, you brought me out of my shell".
Now I actually found that I was right, the thing that keeps us together is the fact that we feel good together and that in the outside world is absolutely difficult to find poeple like us.
And this is the "scientific" proof:
Psychology/sociology splits people in many kinds of personalities, with 2 methods: The Myers-Briggs system and the Keirsey system.
The most rare kind of person is the INTJ kind (Introversion, iNtuition, Thinking, Judging) for the Myers-Briggs Method, witch corresponds to the "Mastermind" tipology in the Keirsey method. Read the definition, very Mystish, no?
The world percentage of this kind of people is about 1% of the population.
Now, analysing the personalities in the Myst Comunity we've noticed a wonderful thing, that is that the INTJ personality isn't the most rare in the comunity, but it's one the most common.
This is the force that keep sus together and looking at the description it is also the force which allows us to succeed in our projects.
And it the explanation to the fact that so few among us go away: when you find a whole group that think like you....Here is the thread of the MystCommunity Forum where there are some results: http://www.mystcommunity.com/board/index.php?showtopic=30003&st=0
Obviously we don't get to 100%, there are various other personalities but the 90% has one thing in common: the I, of Introversion. Le second most frequent letter is the N, of iNtuition. And there's often the J too, of Judging.
Changing to my results. I am an INTJ or Mastermind too, altought a couple of % are a bit low.
My results: it is interesting to see that the Working career is exactly the one I like.
What's your personality?: Try the Test July 24 Chi non muore si rivedeSi torna in pista!!!
eheh, è già da un paio di settimane ormai che ho in mente di scrivere questo post ma sono stato davvero indaffaratissimo in questo periodo.
Allora, riassumiamo tutto quello che è successo dall'inizio di Luglio.
Il 3 (o qualcosa del genere) luglio il giornale locale di Spokane (Washington, USA) ha annunciato che finalmente GameTap e Cyan Worlds hanno trovato un'accordo per il rilascio dei diritti commerciali su MystOnline:UruLive.....in altre parole la Cyan ora può continuare a sviluppare MystOnline da sola senza più GameTap tra i piedi....e questo significa MystOnline Ritorna.Poco tempo dopo il nuovo Community Manager della Cyan Worlds, Mark DeForest ha fatto un'annuncio sui forum di MystOnline spiegando esattamente come stanno le cose.
MystOnline ricomincia con un nuovo titolo e in una forma quasi totalmente diversa: MystOnline:RestorationExperiment consisterà in una cosa che nessuno mai nel mondo ha fatto. Questo sembra essere uno dei "vizi" della Cyan....hanno cominciato con il primo episodio di Myst a fare cose mai fatte e continuano a sfidare il mercato dei videogiochi.
A dispetto di tutte le teorie commerciali ed economiche, il progetto UruLive verrà fatto rinascere per la terza volta. Questa volta però sarà tutto sulle spalle della Cyan, niente finanziatori, niente publisher, questo significa anche meno fondi. Ma la Cyan capisce anche che è spropositato far pagare 30$ per un videogioco. Daltra parte senza quei soldi il gioco non potrà essere sviluppato. Ed è qui che entra in gioco la novità. I contenuti li creeremo noi...già da moltissimo tempo esiste più di un gruppo di persone (H'Uru project, the Guild of Age Crafters, COBBS) che hanno studiato la struttura del gioco e hanno cominciato a creare programmi in grado di fare contenuti il Uru. La Cyan ha sempre simpatizzato per cose del genere...ovviament però non era legalmente fattibile quandi c'era un tacito accordo tra Cyan e gruppi in cui si diceva che la Cyan avrebbe fatto finta di non vedere.
Ora però le cose cambiano...la Cyan non si può più permettere di creare contenuti per MystOnline quindi possiamo farlo noi. Già un'anno fa (a metà Agosto), quando ancora nessuno sospettava la chisura di MystOnline, era stata annunciata dalla Cyan l'approvazione di un sistema di Gilde come quelle dell'antica D'ni. Le cinque Gilde non sono mai state supportate veramente dalla Cyan; nel senso che, al contrario di moltissimi altri giochi in cui trovi già un sistema di Gilde assemblato all'interno del gioco, e codificato al suo interno; in MystOnline non c'era nulla, siamo stati noi a raggrupparci e creare queste Gilde. Tutt'oggi la casa delle Gilde è ospitata sui nostri server, non quelli della Cyan, dando soldi e tempo di tasca nostra.
In questa nuova visione di MystOnline:RestorationExperiment le Gilde lavoreranno insieme per il nuovo contenuto:
La Gilda degli Scrittori creerà nuovi mondi utilizzando il plug-in che utilizza la stessa Cyan e che verrà rilasciato anche con il codice sorgente per permettere di sviluppare plug-in simili per altri programmi (3D studio Max costa più di 3000$).
La Gilda dei Mantenitori testerà e approverà i mondi creati dalla GIlda degli Scrittori; riferirà direttamente alla Cyan il risultato del test e poi ci penserà la Cyan a mettere tutto online.
La Gilda degli Archivisti terrà traccia delle storie dei mondi e si assicurerà che le nuove storie non vadano in contraddizione con le vecchie.
La Gilda dei Cartografi si occuperà di fare le mappe dei mondi creati dalla Gilda degli Scrittori.
La Gilda dei Messaggeri coordinerà le comunicazioni tra le Gilde e tutti gli altri gruppi della comunità.
La Gilda degli Accoglitori si occuperà di accogliere i nuovi giocatori e fargli capire cosa succede attorno a loro, perchè non è per niente semplice orientarsi in quello che succede nella nostra comunità.
Tutte queste Gilde sono improvvisamente schizzate di vita e di cose da fare e preparare all'annuncio di Mark DeForest (conosciuto principalmente con il nuo nickname: Chogon).
Per quanto riguarda me, ho scoperto queste cose il 13 Luglio non appena sono tornato dall'Isola D'Elba. Da allora sono stato impegnatissimo, lavorando di giorno in laboratorio mi rimane solo la sera per lavorare qui:
Già dall'inizio (Agosto 2007) sono stato un supporter della Gilda Dei Mantenitori e ho collaborato con gli altri a formarla, creare una sua struttura, i suoi dipartimenti, le sue regole, etc. Quindi sono uno dei fandatori della Gilda dei Mantenitori.
Inoltre sono sempre stato interessato a mantenere aggiornata la comunità italiana...quindi a Giugno mi sono unito anche alla Gilda dei Messaggeri per fare da traduttore della Newsletter e degli annunci.
In questo modo ho potuto corprire un po' tutti i miei interessi: Italiani, Nuove Ere e Annunci.
Ora....la Gilda dei Messageri (come anche quella dei Mantenitori) si sta mobilitando per essere efficiente per questi momenti futuri in cui le Gilde saranno impegnate...quindi facendo parte sia della GoMa che della GoMe pochi giorni fa mi ha contattato Kalypso, Amministratrice del forum e delle posizioni alla GoMe, per propormi di fare da collegamento (Liaison) tra la GoMe e la GoMa. Casualmente io avevo fatto la stessa richiesta alla Gilda dei Mantenitori proprio pochi minuti prima....quindi ho accettato la posizione.
Inoltre con gli Italiani stiamo discutendo di costruire un nostro mondo...e io sono il moderatore del forum (privato) in cui discutiamo queste cose.
Quindi il futuro di preannuncia più colorito e impegnato che mai. LOL
Alla faccia di chi ci dava già per morti!.
P.s.: Sorry Silver and Splash but this is far too long to translate.../doh. Use Google translator or something else :P May 19 QuotesI often do this with songs...looking for me in them
Sweet little words made for silence
Not talk Young heart for love Not heartache Dark hair for catching the wind Not to veil the sight of a cold world First day of love never comes back A passionate hour`s never a wasted one The violin, the poet`s hand, Every thawing heart plays your theme with care --While Your Lips are still Red
-------------------------------------------------
A nightingale in a golden cage
That's me locked inside reality's maze Come someone make my heavy heart light Come undone bring me back to life It all starts with a lullaby --Escapist
----------------------------------------------------------
So much to live for, so much to die for
If only my heart had a home "If you read this line, remember not the hand that wrote it
Remember only the verse, songmaker`s cry, the one without tears For I`ve given this its strength and it has become my only strength. Comforting home, mother`s lap, chance for immortality Where being wanted became a thrill I never knew The sweet piano writing down my life And you... I wish I didn`t feel for you anymore..." --Dead Boy's Poem
------------------------------------------------
One more night
To bear this nightmare What more do I have to say My lonely soul is only filled with fear
Long hours of loneliness --Ocean Soul
------------------------------------------------- Trees have dropped their leaves,
Clouds their waters All this burden is killing me Distance is covering your way,
Tears your memory All this beauty is killing me Oh, do you care,
I still feel for you So aware, What should be lost is there I fear I will never find anyone
I know my greatest pain is yet to come Will we find each other in the dark My long lost love --The Beauty of the Beast
-------------------------------------------------
Fare thee well, little broken heart
Downcast eyes, lifetime loneliness Whatever walks in my heart will walk alone Constant longing for the perfect soul Unwashed scenery forever gone No love left in me No eyes to see the heaven beside me My time is yet to come So I'll be forever yours --Forever Yours
---------------------------------------------- Heaven queen, carry me Away from all pain All the same take me away We're dead to the world Lonely soul
--Dead to the world
-----------------------------------------
I've never felt so alone in my life
As I drank from a cup which was counting my time There's a poison drop in this cup of Man To drink it is to follow the left hand path --Bless the Child
------------------------------------- Only so many times
I can say I long for you The lily among the thorns The prey among the wolves --Feel for you
----------------------------------------------- This is the end of all hope
To lose the child, the faith To end all the innocence To be someone like me --End of all Hope

This one fits exactly. March 20 these days.."holidays", days of lonelinessLoneliness frazzles me......sadness, anger return from the past to chain me.
Don't leave me alone.
Why did you leave me alone, dear friend?
February 07 So it ends, againDi nuovo, la Caverna chiude per la seconda volta. Il silenzio protratto così a lungo da parte della Cyan parlava di ingranaggi che non giravano....eppure non avevo dubitato un secondo che ci sarebbe stata una Seconda Stagione per MystOnline; ero sicuro che fosse tutto programmato come un evento IC (In Character, o InCavern). Poi, invece greydragon ha postato quello che potete leggere dal link qui sopra.
Il 4 Febbraio, la storia di Myst sia nella realtà che nella finzione è stata segnata...sembra che lo fosse sempre stata; esattamente 4 anni prima, il 4 Febbraio 2004 lo stesso progetto è stato cancellato da Ubisoft, solo che allora si chiamava solo UruLive. Ora finalmente, dopo più di un anno, sembra che il motto della Prima Stagione di MystOnline abbia un senso: Destruction is Coming. Find a Way. Make a Home. Era inteso solo IC certo.....ma sembra che ora si possa rispecchiare OOC (Out of Character o Out Of Cavern), visto che la distruzione è arrivata veramente. E ora la Comunità di Myst non ha più una casa, e deve trovare il modo di restare a galla, unita.
Quello che mi dispiace di più è perdere tutti gli amici che avevo conosciuto in questo posto lontano, fuori dal mondo reale, ma così reale....un posto senza violenza e dove tutti sono sempre pronti ad aiutarsi in qualsiasi modo. Quanti progetti sono nati così, dalle Radio di Uru alle Nuove Gilde di D'ni, che in pochi mesi di attività sono comunque stati in grado di tirare in piedi un complesso sistema di collaborazione; ai Documentari del Great Tree, di cui io ero il traduttore Italiano e che è saltato proprio a causa di questa imminente chiusura; perchè la cosa più bella di Uru, come hanno detto molti giocatori che venivano da altri MMO (tipo WoW), è che "Things get really done here", quando si propone qualcosa la si fa, abbiamo fantastiche persone che hanno le conoscenze per tirare in piedi un sito in pochi giorni, anche pagando l'host di tasca loro, perchè la passione in questa comunità è così grande.
E solo pensare di perdere tutto questo - la dimostrazione di come persone anche dai lati opposti del globo riescono a fare cose che molto spesso persone vicine non riescono neanche a organizzare - è estremamente triste. Non voglio perdere i miei "Buddies", il gruppo del QI (Quartiere Italiano) che ho cercato di tenere unito per tutto questo tempo, il gruppo dei finlandesi pazzi (silverdragonesse, Zaphodi, Cojaar, EthanEver, Zia e tutti i loro compagni con cui abbiamo esplorato ogni pixel di Uru), le folle di gente danzante durante le feste, le corse nelle Ere Giardino per aprire le Porte del Viaggio, il Quartiere di UruObssession che anche nei giorni più calmi era pieno, la Gilda degli Accoglitori che ha dato aiuto a tutti i nuovi esploratori, e i tanti tanti altri gruppi che compongono la comunità di Uru.
Come ha detto anche Silver sul suo blog, c'è ancora così tanto da fare prima di lasciare la Caverna....devo fare filmati delle Ere che non posso visitare offline, delle feste insieme, di tutti i miei amici e i membri dell'Italian's Bevin, di.......tutto.
Non so se la comunità resisterà senza la Caverna, forse comincerà a spezzettarsi come aveva già fatto nel 2004, perchè la Caverna è la colla che ci tiene insieme, ma noi ce la metteremo tutta per restare insieme, Looking for a Way to Make a New Home. 4 anni fa Ian aveva fatto un commento simile sul suo blog e la maggior parte dei sentimenti descritti allora sono gli stessi di oggi. C'è una frase di quell'articolo che mai dimenticherò e che vorrei riproporre qui, visto che questo blog non viene letto solo dai miei amici di Myst:
Ma forse la fine non è ancora stata scritta. Leonardo

Again, the Cavern closes for the second time. The silence kept for so long by Cyan was telling us a story of mechanincs not working...but still I didn't dubted a second that MystOnline'd have had a Second Season; I was sure it was only a programmed IC event (In Character or In Cavern). But then, greydragon posted what you can read in clicking on the link here above.
February 4th, the Myst story has been marked, both in reality and not...it seems to have always been marked, for exactly 4 years ago, February the 4th, 2004 in the same project was cancelled by Ubisoft, only that then it was called only UruLive. Now, at last, after more than a year, the motto of the First Season seems to have a meaning: Destruction is Coming. Find a Way. Make a Home. Of course, it was meant only in an IC way...but now it fits the OOC status (Out Of Character or OutOfCavern), since Distruction is really coming. And the Myst Community won't have a home, and must find a way remain afloat, together.
What hurts more is losing all the friends I have known in this far place, out of the real world, but still so real...a place without violence where everyone is always ready to help each other in whichever way. So many projects were born in this way, from the Uru Radios to the New Guilds of D'ni, which in a few months of activity have been able to build a complex collaboration system; to the Documentaries of the Great Tree, of which I was the Italian translator and which had to close just because of this near End; because the best thing I found in Uru is, like many players coming from other MMOs (as WoW) said, that "Things get really done here", when someone proposes something this thing gets done, we have wonderflu people who have the knowledge to build a website in a few days, paying the host by themselves, because passion in this community is so big.
And only thinking I'll lost all of this - the proof of how people from all over the world can do things that people who are near often can't even organize - is extremely sad. I don't want to lose the "Buddies", the QI (Italian Neighborhood) group which I tryed to keep together in all this time, the crazy finnish group (silverdragonesse, Zaphodi, Cojaar, EthanEver, Zia and all their friends with whom we explored every pixel of Uru), the crowds of dancing people during the parties, the runs in the Garden Ages to open the Journey Doors, the UruObssession's Bevin which was full even in the calmest day, the Guild of Greeters which has given help to all the new explorers, and all the many many groups which make the UruCommunity.
As Silver said on her blog, there're so much thing still to do before we leave the Cavern...I must take videos of the Ages which I wont' be able to visit offline, of the parties all together, of all my buddies and Neighbors of the Italian's Bevin, of....everything.
I don't know if the community will last without the Cavern, perhaps it'll begin to fragment just like it did in 2004, because the Cavern is the glue which keeps us together, but we'll our best to stay together, Looking for a Way to Make a New Home. 4 years ago Ian wrote a similar comment on his blog and the major part of the feeling described then are the same of today. There's a sentence I'll never forget and I'd like to rewrite it here, since this blog isn't read only by my MystFriends:
But perhaps the ending has not yet been written. Leonardo December 14 Italian SongWell, here we are.
Some time ago Silver posted a Finnish Song on her Live Space
