Still none of the others verified by System…?

Nothing yet, archie last seen here 3 hours ago. They might be working through the memory submissions and staging which ones theyd like to take hold. Would be nice if we got something before they knock off for the night but it could be tomorrow before we see them locked in by system if we don’t see any activity soon.

Here’s the email I just sent:
System,
I hope you are well!
In the 2016 memory bloc, August 18 is currently “no/value.” I would like to assist. I attempted entry via the website, but erred in not including a complete memory; it is submitted below. Thank you!

Title: Death is Not the End - Value: Editorial Promotion Grants New Life - Body Text: A non-gamer, my first exposure to No Man’s Sky was via an online music magazine and a short feature from one of my favorite authors who played for hours with the hilarious sole purpose of experiencing in-game death so that he could see which of his quotations the developers had included as a “Game Over” notification. From this short piece, the concept of No Man’s Sky leapt out at me, and though it was some time later before I began my own journey, I knew then that my first steps were inevitable, eventual, and would be a new beginning, a dream I could share among the stars … 'No Man's Sky': Author John Scalzi's Suicidal Journey

Did things start happening as soon as I posted this and walked away to build with Devilin?! 
Looks like a bunch came rolling in before the PM’s called it a night

So far mine seems to be the only one that didn’t include the link provided with it. It’s possible because it linked to my instagram, I should have saved and hosted the image somewhere else first like I did with the latter one about moving apartment/base building
Seems discord operators are already on the case of figuring out if its a puzzle or not.
I think it’s just system freaking out cos I made it go anywhere near Instagram with my original link submission

What kind of 2016 memories are you looking for? On Sept 28 2016, I uploaded a NMS video on youtube, I already submitted it a while ago when we were looking at the form for the first time.

Any, you can see by the ones that were accepted, MTR submitted one about their childs birth, Ben submitted one about their marriage, I submitted one about doodling at work with a nms doodle I did in work on september 6th.
All were approved. Doesn’t need to be NMS related, just emotionally charged.
The one I submitted did not include my doodle though. Instead, the PM’s inserted an image puzzle which everyone is trying to solve rn, if it’s even solveable in its current state, it could be the first part of a larger puzzle for all we know.
This email exhange between Bomberboi and Archie explains what works and the format to submit them in (archie wants us to now include a title and value [sub title] as well as the main block of text with a related link)

OMG! That’s awesome!!!
I did notice that my link changed from what I submitted. I had submitted the link to Birthday from Wikipedia. It now links to Text Emoji G.R.3.G. the birthday gift I got from my daughter but the link looks weird https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/etarc/original/3X/6/4/6442e9cae5633d5f3ee01559f523b0df63999064.jpe (I removed the g in jpeg here to stop it from just posting the image)
Is it just a direct link to the jpeg here on ETARC?

I dug up an old email I emailed HG back in 2016 when I was in college, right before the game released. I almost forgot I ever even wrote it. I wonder if I should submit something about that.

I submitted this memory last night while I was at work, so I didn’t have time to share. It looks like SYSTEM liked it though. It anchored to July 22nd, 2016. Cool!

I am waiting to see if the 2 I sent in get chosen.
They can’t all be about NMS. So I sent in 2 from early in the year. Made them space related to show my interest in space which is why NMS appealed to me when it released.
Will be interesting to see what gets chosen and what does not

@Selfie-Gek just confirmed that the second one was theirs. Also followed up to say that they didn’t include the link, but explained why so in the link slot of the submission.

My current theory is that System is looking for our memories of our lives from before we started playing NMS. 2016 is the last year that all of us had something we were doing prior to joining the “shared dream.” There is still over half a year’s worth of memories before NMS.
But it could also be that I emailed System with a screenshot of my entry.
