The Campfire
The Campfire is for small groups and teams working on something together or watching/listening together.
How it goes here
Campfire Norms
- Video optional.
- Mute when you’re not actively talking.
- Quietly lurking with camera and mic off is perfectly fine and accepted.
The fire
The fire in the middle is the fire pit at Swaying Sweetgrass’s own playlist of real campfires, read out of that room’s list, and it runs until you stop it. The fires round it are from the same playlist, one at a time, each with how long it runs. Play one here, or put it on the fire; each is yours, at your own pace. In the call, anybody can put a YouTube video on for everybody from the call’s own menu, under Share video, and then whoever shares it plays and pauses it for everybody, which is watching together the way a campfire does it.

Talking
The call in here is for people signed on to the CB. Anybody can come in and look around; to talk, and to be in the call, you need the CB, and the Community Center says how to get on it.

The call is run by 8x8’s Jitsi as a Service. Your camera and microphone start off, the name you are called by goes to 8x8 inside your pass into the call, and we keep nothing about a call. What goes where.
Why a campfire
People have sat round a fire to work on something together, and to watch and listen together, for as long as there have been people. Everybody faces the same way, which is in, and nobody is at the head of it. Sit on a log, keep your camera and microphone off if you like, and listen. Nothing in this room moves, at any setting, the flame included.
Whose words
What goes on in here, and the norms, are Ryan’s words, as he wrote them for the Hang Suites; caves, campfires and watering holes are David Thornburg’s.
The fires are Norwegian Fireplace and Campfire’s, from the playlist Swaying Sweetgrass keeps burning in its fire pit; their titles are the channel’s own and the notes are ours. Holtwood One SC is Vernon Adams’s and Lato is Łukasz Dziedzic’s, both under the SIL Open Font License; the room is ours. More in the liner notes.
Job marker — a toasting stick, left leaning against a log
You have found a job marker. The Adventurer’s Guild is a shopfront on the street, and it posts jobs that send you round these rooms. Take the code below to its board and that job is done. Nothing here is scored, nothing expires, and one is a perfectly good number of jobs to do.
The job: Whose fire this is
Before the code: Which room on the street's fire pit are the Campfire's fires from?
Hint 1
It is named in the first sentence under The fire.
Hint 2
It is a meadow past the treeline, at golden hour.
Last hint
Pitch 02 at the campgrounds.
Give me the answer
The answer is Swaying Sweetgrass. Swaying Sweetgrass. The fire in the middle is the playlist of real campfires that room keeps burning in its fire pit, read out of its own list, and the fires round it are from the same playlist, each with how long it runs.
Taking the answer is a real way through this, not a lesser one. Nothing is watching and nothing is written down.
Quest code: TOASTING
That is the one.
