DRCL Candidate Conference - vid

[vidkid7]

I'm aware that this probably belongs in the DRCL forum, but I'm posting this here for a reason... hear me out.

I've noticed a lot of people in the cavern don't understand the concept of the DRC Liaisons, much less have any opinions on who they want to vote for. I was amazed at the number of people I've been encountering in Ae'gura who just go "Huh?" when I ask if they've made their decision about the five future Liaisons.

In response to this, I'm calling for meetings in Ae'gura to answer any questions that explorers have regarding why the DRCLs exist, as well as do my best to answer what they do. I'll also be answering any questions that are asked about me as a candidate.

The goal here is to make as many people as aware of the election and procedures as possible, so we can have a wide and informed vote from as much of the community as possible. I also ask that anyone interested in this, spread the word about it... so that this information can get to as many explorers as possible.

There will be two meetings...

---
Wednesday - October 18 - 05:00:00pm EDT (03:00:00pm MDT as listed in your KI)
Wednesday - October 18 - 09:00:00pm EDT (07:00:00pm MDT as listed in your KI)
---

These meetings will be held on the circular balcony that's attached to the Tokotah courtyard on Ae'gura. I'm looking forward to seeing lots of you at both meetings!

Will this be open to other candidates as well? Sort of a "get to know the candidates" night? If so, I'll also try and attend.

Certainly, the event is open to anyone who would like to attend, candidate or not.

I will try and be at both meetings. I'll be pretty late for the one at 5, and I might not be able to stay long at the 9 one, but I'll do my best to be there and to spread the word around.

[Gadren]

I'll try to show up -- it could be useful to have a former (our official terms ended a couple days ago) DRCL answer some questions, if you don't mind.

[vidkid7]

Gadren, I think that's a GREAT idea, I really hope you'll be there!

Log of the meeting (very long, sorry):

(10/18 17:13:46) Chat.log started...
(10/18 17:13:46) Rhee looks waaaaaay out over the canyon
(10/18 17:13:47) Aeris: There was a lot of discussion about things before the first election. Lots of questions that never really got answered.
(10/18 17:13:55) CAGrayWolf: Understood. I was in the "No Liaison" group initially ... kind of ironic that I got elected.
(10/18 17:14:04) Aeris: lol
(10/18 17:14:20) Whilyam: Nexus for vid
(10/18 17:14:27) Whilyam: At least, that's what my KI says
(10/18 17:14:27) Aeris: What have the liaisons done other than keep community meetings organized?
(10/18 17:14:28) Vortmax: Just like I've said before, anyone should feel free to talk about any concerns or issues. And again, I suggest that you start discussing things right after this election is over, and make use of that new forum on the DRC site.
(10/18 17:14:32) CAGrayWolf: Shorah Gad
(10/18 17:14:39) Rhee thinks "one heck of a place to go bungee jumping..."
(10/18 17:15:01) Vortmax: (I'd say now, but it's a little late to make a bunch of changes now... Admittedly, not a good reason, but there you have it.)
(10/18 17:15:14) Justin: can i have Vid's #?
(10/18 17:15:28) Whilyam: here he is
(10/18 17:15:29) Vortmax: Vid is trying to get in, but his bar loads up for Ae'gura, then nothing.
(10/18 17:15:30) Justin: He's here!
(10/18 17:15:33) Gadren: hi
(10/18 17:15:34) CAGrayWolf: Well, we now have three Un-liaisons present.
(10/18 17:15:34) Justin cheers
(10/18 17:15:38) Vortmax: Hey Gadren
(10/18 17:15:45) CAGrayWolf: Shorah Vid
(10/18 17:15:50) Vortmax thought about bringing in DRCLVortmax for today's meeting ;)
(10/18 17:16:18) Rhee: un-liasons... is that formerly elected or currently running for election?
(10/18 17:16:18) CAGrayWolf: LoL @ Vort ... I never did get around to creating one.
(10/18 17:16:19) vid: Hello, everyone!
(10/18 17:16:23) Whilyam: I think the new Liaisons should do more than just manage meetings. I know Vort's done a good job of listening to questions brought up down here.
(10/18 17:16:23) Gadren: :)
(10/18 17:16:25) Justin: Hi
(10/18 17:16:27) Vortmax: VID!!!!!
(10/18 17:16:28) Gadren: hi vid!
(10/18 17:16:30) Whilyam: Hey vid

(10/18 17:16:47) autoshout activated
(10/18 17:16:48) Rhee: hmm yes
(10/18 17:16:50) vid: I'm very sorry for my late arrival, the Nexus wasn't being cooperative. :)
(10/18 17:16:50) Whilyam: Okay!
(10/18 17:16:50) Justin: V I D ! ! !
(10/18 17:16:57) CAGrayWolf: Rhee ... Un-liaisons are the ones that were in office.
(10/18 17:17:04) Rhee: ah, okay, hehehe!
(10/18 17:17:13) Rhee: didn't really matter, just curious is all!
(10/18 17:17:33) Gadren: heh... autoshout makes us all sound so excited!
(10/18 17:17:37) CAGrayWolf: Were not quite ex-liaisons yet until the election and the new liasons take office.
(10/18 17:17:41) Whilyam: I'm bored!
(10/18 17:17:41) Gadren: so...what have I missed? !
(10/18 17:17:51) Vortmax: Not much :)!
(10/18 17:17:55) Whilyam: We all voted on the new liaisons, Gadren!
(10/18 17:17:55) Rhee: vid is from my neighborhood too? sheesh, how have i not met most of you before?!
(10/18 17:18:01) Vortmax: I suppose we should be running logs.!

(10/18 17:18:07) Whilyam: I'm already logging!
(10/18 17:18:08) Justin: so this meeting is to Inform people obut the Election?
(10/18 17:18:19) Vortmax: Yeah vid, why ARE we here? :D!
(10/18 17:18:20) Whilyam: and to answer questions!
(10/18 17:18:36) Aeris: I'm here to get to know people better
(10/18 17:18:41) Rhee: because this is the hip and happenin' place to be!!
(10/18 17:18:47) Vortmax is definitely peoples you should know :)
(10/18 17:18:48) Aeris: that, too
(10/18 17:18:56) Rhee: hehehehe!
(10/18 17:19:02) vid: We're here so we can hopefully learn more about the process, get to know each other better, and answer as many questions as can possibly be answered!
(10/18 17:19:11) Justin: ok
(10/18 17:19:17) Justin: can we start
(10/18 17:19:29) CAGrayWolf: Good to see you again Vid.!

(10/18 17:19:50) vid: Good to see all of you... Un-Liaison, Candidates, and Excited Votered alike!
(10/18 17:20:00) Vortmax is crazier than usual today. This will be your only warning.
(10/18 17:20:18) CAGrayWolf Vort is in spin dry.
(10/18 17:20:24) Whilyam: Well let's try to at least keep the meeting relatively sane and serious!
(10/18 17:20:35) CAGrayWolf starts to laugh
(10/18 17:20:35) vid: So... anyone who would like to introduce themselves, feel free... I'll go ahead and say, I'm vid... I'm one of the cadidates.!
(10/18 17:20:37) Justin: Ok
(10/18 17:20:38) Rhee: yeah... insanity rubs off on my REALLY fast!
(10/18 17:20:48) Rhee: *me!
(10/18 17:21:02) Vortmax: I'm Vort, former Liaison, and current candidate. And I will try to behave myself and save the crazy for SWN.!
(10/18 17:21:03) CAGrayWolf: I'm Wolfie ... one of the candidates ... and Un-liaison!
(10/18 17:21:27) Whilyam: I'm Whilyam, one of the candidates, and sane person.!
(10/18 17:21:41) Rhee: I'm Rhee, relatively new and unknown, a candidate, and looking forward to the meeting!
(10/18 17:21:57) Rhee waves
(10/18 17:21:58) Justin: I'm Justin and i'm am a Typical Uru Fanatic
(10/18 17:22:07) CAGrayWolf: Gad ... where are you?!
(10/18 17:22:08) Vortmax: New is good :)!
(10/18 17:22:13) Aeris: I'm Aeris, excited voter
(10/18 17:22:41) Rhee: oh wow, an EXCITED voter... do we get those often? that's awesome!
(10/18 17:22:47) KenS* yawns
(10/18 17:22:52) vid: All around, I think everyone here right now can say they're pretty excited for one reason or another
(10/18 17:22:57) Whilyam: Well there goes Gadren
(10/18 17:23:10) CAGrayWolf: *POOF*
(10/18 17:23:19) vid: Uh oh, we'll need another Gadren!
(10/18 17:23:21) Vortmax: Gadren was a beloved Liaison, and current candidate. We will miss him.
(10/18 17:23:24) Whilyam: No need to autoshout now either, I guss
(10/18 17:23:27) Whilyam: guess*
(10/18 17:23:53) Whilyam: There are fewer voters here than I'd expected.
(10/18 17:23:54) Justin: r u gonna use Voice chat
(10/18 17:23:56) Vortmax: So yeah, question time?
(10/18 17:23:58) Justin: ?
(10/18 17:24:05) Justin: ok
(10/18 17:24:10) Justin: I hav a Q
(10/18 17:24:19) vid: Go for it!
(10/18 17:24:30) Vortmax: Excellent.
(10/18 17:24:31) Whilyam: PLEASE PM A LIAISON WITH YOUR-- wait... wait.. no... Um... go ahead Justin
(10/18 17:24:32) Justin: whatr is a Liason, and why do we Vote 4 them?
(10/18 17:24:38) CAGrayWolf starts to laugh
(10/18 17:24:44) Vortmax: Ah, that's the question, isn't it?
(10/18 17:24:54) Justin: yep
(10/18 17:25:01) Vortmax: The real answer is "We have no idea."
(10/18 17:25:05) CAGrayWolf: I let you take that one Vort
(10/18 17:25:06) Justin starts to laugh
(10/18 17:25:06) vid laughs
(10/18 17:25:24) Vortmax: But here's the best we've been able to put together (from people who have done the job):
(10/18 17:26:11) Vortmax: Basically, the DRC wants people to pass info back and forth. They give info to these Liaisons, and the DRCLs (for short) go out and share it with you guys
(10/18 17:26:28) Justin: ok...
(10/18 17:26:33) Aeris: How often do the liaisons meet with the DRC?
(10/18 17:26:34) Vortmax: Then they get info from you, and take it back. (It hasn't worked that way so far, btw.)
(10/18 17:26:43) Justin: are these people working at Cya Worlds?
(10/18 17:26:46) CAGrayWolf: Usually done in some sort of announcements
(10/18 17:26:51) Justin: or just Interested fans?
(10/18 17:26:59) Rhee puts her hand up, then down because Vort just answered her question
(10/18 17:27:02) Whilyam: We elect them because there is a certain level of responsibility
(10/18 17:27:08) CAGrayWolf: The liaison? Are all fans.
(10/18 17:27:22) Justin: oh, ok
(10/18 17:27:26) Vortmax: What we've actually done is deal with setting up meetings and stuff, so that you guys can talk directly to the bigwigs and get your own questions answered. Which I guess has worked well!
(10/18 17:27:29) vid: Justin, the DRC works with Cyan Worlds, in a way. But the Liaisons are all interested and passionate explorers.
(10/18 17:27:44) Justin: ok
(10/18 17:27:53) Vortmax: Right. The DRC said they want these 5 explorers, and it was up to us to pick them. And we decided to do elections, and 6 month terms.
(10/18 17:27:53) CAGrayWolf: Well said, Vid
(10/18 17:28:13) Rhee: Aeris asked a moment ago how often the liasons meet with the DRC
(10/18 17:28:14) Vortmax: And then we dragged people from Cyan Worlds down as well for meetings. :)
(10/18 17:28:18) Rhee: i'm curious as well hehee
(10/18 17:28:33) Whilyam: Monthly was the plan, correct?
(10/18 17:28:36) Vortmax: In theory, once a month. In practice, there hasn't been much to talk about lately, so the meetings tapered off
(10/18 17:28:43) Aeris: Have there been only the community meetins with everyone, or have there been special meeting with just the liaisons and the DRC?
(10/18 17:28:48) Rhee nods her head
(10/18 17:29:00) CAGrayWolf: Both
(10/18 17:29:01) Whilyam: Both.
(10/18 17:29:04) Vortmax: We've had a few special meetings with just us and the DRC, three I think
(10/18 17:29:14) CAGrayWolf: Correct Vort
(10/18 17:29:24) Vortmax cheers
(10/18 17:29:25) Justin: now... about the voting prosess...
(10/18 17:29:25) Aeris: what have been the biggest challenges these last months?
(10/18 17:29:46) CAGrayWolf: Figuring out what we are supposed to do
(10/18 17:29:52) CAGrayWolf starts to laugh
(10/18 17:29:54) Vortmax: Okay, voting process. As I understand it, we will be voting at uruvote.stoneship.org
(10/18 17:30:21) Rhee: you can learn about all of the candidates there, including those not present now
(10/18 17:30:24) vid: The next group is pretty lucky, the current liaisons have already pushed through a lot of that rocky "Well.. we're elected... now what?" ground
(10/18 17:30:32) Vortmax: You get to vote for up to five people. Just pick the names, enter your e-mail address, and vote. You'll get an e-mail to confirm your vote, and then it's counted.
(10/18 17:30:41) Vortmax: Heh, to an extent vid.
(10/18 17:31:00) Vortmax: Voting starts this Saturday, and will run for a week.
(10/18 17:31:02) Whilyam: If elected, I will push into more "now what?"
(10/18 17:31:10) CAGrayWolf: Actually ... the biggest challenge has been negotiating meetings and arranging the schedules for the guest speakers. Most of this is done behind the scenes before any announcements are made.
(10/18 17:31:17) Whilyam: Forward... for figuring out stuff!
(10/18 17:31:30) Justin: and is there anythinfg saying Y we should vote 4 these people?
(10/18 17:31:41) Whilyam: To get a voice in the DRC
(10/18 17:31:42) Vortmax: Yeah, and I really have to praise the other Liaisons for most of that scheduling work. I tended to just show up and say "Sure, I can do that" or "No, can't make that."
(10/18 17:31:47) Whilyam: In short
(10/18 17:31:56) Rhee: yes, you can check that out on the DRC website (www.drcsite.org)
(10/18 17:31:59) Justin: but...
(10/18 17:32:03) Rhee: or right on the Uruvote site
(10/18 17:32:05) Justin: is there stuff like
(10/18 17:32:08) Whilyam: The DRC suffered before from lack of communcation
(10/18 17:32:09) Vortmax: Justin, how much do you know about the DRC?
(10/18 17:32:16) Justin: "if I become a Liason..."
(10/18 17:32:21) Whilyam: No
(10/18 17:32:23) Whilyam: Never
(10/18 17:32:23) Justin: Uh...
(10/18 17:32:26) Justin: not much
(10/18 17:32:29) Whilyam: Never will never should be.
(10/18 17:32:37) Whilyam: At least with me
(10/18 17:32:40) vid: ooh, ooh, let me! :)
(10/18 17:32:41) Vortmax: Okay. The DRC = D'ni Restoration Council. They're the ones who are getting things up and running down here.
(10/18 17:32:45) Vortmax: Go vid :D
(10/18 17:32:49) vid pulls out his "restoration historian" notes
(10/18 17:32:50) Justin: all I know about the DRC is that they are in Uru...
(10/18 17:32:50) Aeris: I'm wondering how much it's better to give new people a chance and how much it's better to go with people who have had some experience now - maybe both
(10/18 17:32:57) CAGrayWolf: Having background hystory is quite a bit importnat in this role.
(10/18 17:33:05) Justin: and I know their names
(10/18 17:33:17) Aeris: what do you mean by background history?
(10/18 17:33:24) Aeris: for Uru?
(10/18 17:33:26) Whilyam: brb
(10/18 17:33:28) Vortmax: The backstory, Aeris. The history of what's happened here.
(10/18 17:33:30) Gadren: shorah!
(10/18 17:33:35) CAGrayWolf: I would say both ... new people should be given the chance to learn
(10/18 17:33:35) Gadren: crashed out
(10/18 17:33:35) Vortmax: WB Gadren
(10/18 17:33:39) vid: the DRC or D'ni Restoration Council is the group of five people who banded together about ten years or so ago to gather the resources necessary to restore D'ni and it's ages
(10/18 17:33:48) Aeris: shorah, Gadren
(10/18 17:33:58) Justin: 5 people?
(10/18 17:33:58) vid: whenever something new is learned about D'ni, they're generally behind it
(10/18 17:34:07) CAGrayWolf: Aeris ... knowing who and what the DRC are about and what they represent is very important to this role.
(10/18 17:34:16) vid: they're also to thank for telling Cyan the history.. thus allowing the creation of the Myst series
(10/18 17:34:27) Gadren: the actual Council is 5 people, but there are a bunch of restoration engineers working under them
(10/18 17:34:29) Aeris: Is there anywhere on the forums where there is a brief history of the DRC?
(10/18 17:34:40) vid: Justin, five people make up the council itself.. but there are many more restoration engineers and translators and all sorts of things.
(10/18 17:34:45) Justin: can I have the Names of the 5?
(10/18 17:34:45) CAGrayWolf: DRCSite.org
(10/18 17:35:08) vid: Marie Sutherland, Ikuro Kodama, Victor Laxman, Michael Engberg, and Richard Watson
(10/18 17:35:08) Whilyam: back
(10/18 17:35:13) Vortmax: Dr. Richard A. Watson (currently missing), Dr. Marie Sutherland, Dr. Ikuro Kodama, Dr. Michael Engberg, Dr. Victor Laxman
(10/18 17:35:14) Aeris: okay. I go there, but always get kind of lost in the reading
(10/18 17:35:18) vid: Watson has been missing since December 2003, however
(10/18 17:35:22) autoshout activated
(10/18 17:35:33) Aeris: It must be kind of fun to meet with the DRC
(10/18 17:35:40) CAGrayWolf: Is the council still 5? Dr Watson is still considered MIA
(10/18 17:35:45) Vortmax: And yes, lots of other people work for the DRC too, restoring things, doing translations, and the like
(10/18 17:35:48) Whilyam: Everyone please come to the circular balcony off the Tokotah!
(10/18 17:35:50) vid: and yes, www.DRCSite.org has a lot of information about the DRC... also there are several explorer blogs that cover the history of the restoration
(10/18 17:35:50) autoshout stopped
(10/18 17:35:58) Aeris: I get bits of the story, but don't really have it coherent in my mind
(10/18 17:36:12) Rhee: i know how you feel Aeris, i have the same trouble too
(10/18 17:36:24) Rhee: being as new to the cavern as i am, i'm still catching up on it all
(10/18 17:36:28) Justin: could U repeat the 5?
(10/18 17:36:30) Vortmax: Okay, 10k years ago, the D'ni came to the Cavern. About 300 years ago, D'ni falls.
(10/18 17:36:35) vid nods his head
(10/18 17:36:40) Whilyam: Look on the DRC site, Justin
(10/18 17:36:42) Justin: the scrolling is going too fast
(10/18 17:36:45) Justin: ok
(10/18 17:36:46) Whilyam: They have bios
(10/18 17:36:53) Justin: well...
(10/18 17:36:57) CAGrayWolf: Aeris: For many of us it has taken years to fully understand what we know ... and even then we can still be in the dark.
(10/18 17:37:05) Justin: I think I have all the Info I need...
(10/18 17:37:05) vid: Dr Richard Watson - Chairman of the Restoration Council
(10/18 17:37:06) Gadren: Watson, Sutherland, Kodama, Laxman, Engberg
(10/18 17:37:13) Justin: see ya at SWN
(10/18 17:37:18) vid: Dr Marie Sutherland - Director of Field Work
(10/18 17:37:21) Vortmax: Elias Zandi and Branch Lofton found the Cavern again in 1981 (I think). They got things started in restoring it, and brought in Dr. Watson
(10/18 17:37:33) vid: Dr. Ikuro Kodama - Structural Integrity
(10/18 17:37:43) vid: Victor Laxman - Chief Engineer
(10/18 17:37:50) Whilyam: I thought Watson was with the other two when they first went down
(10/18 17:37:51) vid: and Michael Engberg - Architectural Analysis
(10/18 17:37:57) Vortmax: Branch died early in an accident, and Zandi set up the D'ni Restoration Foundation a few years later.
(10/18 17:38:11) Vortmax: *set up with Dr. Watson
(10/18 17:38:21) Vortmax: No, Watson came down on the 2nd or 3rd trip
(10/18 17:38:22) Gadren: Elias Zandi
(10/18 17:38:46) vid: Actually, tonight I will post a fair recap of restoration history on the DRC Site forums, for those who are interested
(10/18 17:38:52) Vortmax: When Elias Zandi died, he left the DRF in Dr. Watson's control (who made it the DRC), and the land to his son Jeff Zandi
(10/18 17:38:55) CAGrayWolf: Question for today ... where is Dr Watson?
(10/18 17:38:56) Aeris: good, thanks
(10/18 17:39:10) Vortmax: Better idea than mine, vid :)
(10/18 17:39:13) Whilyam: Are there any other questions?
(10/18 17:39:36) Rhee: i have one
(10/18 17:40:08) Whilyam: Everyone please come within range of the group so we won't have to shout
(10/18 17:40:10) Vortmax: But the basic idea is that you vote for the Liaisons so that you have a more direct voice with the DRC. They weren't that great at communication in the past, and they're trying to fix that.
(10/18 17:40:15) vid: Fire away, Rhee
(10/18 17:40:18) Rhee: how much time (on average) have the previoius liasons needed to devote to the position? one hour per week? three hours per day?
(10/18 17:40:38) CAGrayWolf: That depends on the liaison
(10/18 17:40:43) Rhee: hehehehehe
(10/18 17:41:00) Gadren nods his head
(10/18 17:41:02) Rhee: okay then, Wolfie, how much time did YOU find you needed to devote?
(10/18 17:41:02) Whilyam: The next liaisons will need to devote more time, though
(10/18 17:41:02) Vortmax: In my case, not a whole lot. I mostly showed up for meetings, posted my logs, and sometimes edited and posted logs to the DRCL site.
(10/18 17:41:08) CAGrayWolf: I tend to have quite a but more time to devote ... being on perm disability ... I'm home all the time.
(10/18 17:41:14) Dreamer: Is SteveW in here?
(10/18 17:41:17) Aeris: brb
(10/18 17:41:41) Dreamer: :O
(10/18 17:41:42) Whilyam: No, Dreamer
(10/18 17:41:48) Dreamer: interesting...
(10/18 17:41:57) Dreamer: I got some info for him
(10/18 17:41:57) Gadren: liaison duty, for me, often involved long periods of lessened acctivity punctuated by meeting frenzy
(10/18 17:42:00) Vortmax: I spend a lot of time down here though, and in that I also talked to people about job stuff. But I would've been down here anyway, so that's not really extra time.
(10/18 17:42:01) CAGrayWolf: I was responsibgle to making announcement and posting to all the foruums ... which took about 2 hours per meeting alone.
(10/18 17:42:27) Rhee: right, right
(10/18 17:42:35) ghaelen: why do you think it will take more time now?
(10/18 17:42:36) vid: Dreamer... if I see him, I'll pass it along, or let him know you're looking
(10/18 17:42:48) Vortmax: Hopefully, there will be more to do, ghaelen
(10/18 17:42:56) Whilyam: Keep in mind that when the Restoration starts again, the liaisons will need to devote more time.
(10/18 17:42:57) Dreamer: no need, I got him on my buddies list
(10/18 17:43:00) ghaelen: ah, lol, that makes sense
(10/18 17:43:01) CAGrayWolf: I also made sure the liaison had connections around the world to cover all the different languages.
(10/18 17:43:04) Rhee: okay, i was just wondering... i too am home all day, and i was hoping that it would be a labour-intensive thing, so as to help fill my days!
(10/18 17:43:21) Dreamer: wow, this is just amazing
(10/18 17:43:22) Vortmax: With the restoration starting back up in full swing, there will be a lot more happening, and hopefully there will be a lot more to talk about.
(10/18 17:43:26) vid: With the restoration starting up full time and the cavern going open and public again, there will be a lot more explorers craving information
(10/18 17:43:41) Rhee: hehehheeh great minds think alike
(10/18 17:43:42) vid: Dreamer, what's that?
(10/18 17:43:48) Whilyam: and we ALL say the same thing
(10/18 17:43:49) Vortmax: Vid, that's creepy. GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!!!!
(10/18 17:43:54) CAGrayWolf: Rhee ... it will always depend on upcoming meetings. We can go days and sometimes a full week with no activity.
(10/18 17:43:54) Dreamer: there's that gate down there...
(10/18 17:43:57) ghaelen: lol
(10/18 17:44:12) Dreamer: and it leads to a courtyard of sorts
(10/18 17:44:20) Vortmax: Really, since the big meeting with Rand & the GameTap folks, we haven't had a lot to do.
(10/18 17:44:24) CAGrayWolf: Then have things get very chaotic.
(10/18 17:44:30) Dreamer: all the gates and such go there, but there's nothing up there
(10/18 17:44:33) ghaelen: yes, they certainly have
(10/18 17:44:51) ghaelen: are you ready for another question?
(10/18 17:44:52) Whilyam: Next?
(10/18 17:44:52) vid: I'm still angling for a public blog for the new group.... just so people can feel more in touch with the liaisons, even if it's posts about how not much is going on. Just another way to reach out in all directions, you know?
(10/18 17:44:56) CAGrayWolf: And many of the proposed guests have equally been busy and hard to commit to a time.
(10/18 17:45:10) janaba1: hello, everybody
(10/18 17:45:13) Rhee: totally understandable
(10/18 17:45:15) ghaelen: hi janaba!
(10/18 17:45:18) vid: Shorah, Janaba
(10/18 17:45:21) CAGrayWolf: Shorah Janaba
(10/18 17:45:22) ghaelen: ok, another question
(10/18 17:45:26) Dreamer: I don't even think the buildings are solid
(10/18 17:45:27) Rhee: shoot!
(10/18 17:45:28) Vortmax: Go for it ghaelen
(10/18 17:45:41) Vortmax: (I think Dreamer is dreaming again...)
(10/18 17:45:44) Dreamer: vid, come and take a look fer yerself
(10/18 17:45:44) CAGrayWolf: Shorah Ghaelen ... didn't see you come in.
(10/18 17:46:06) janaba1: lol
(10/18 17:46:07) ghaelen: does it appear, to the best of your knowledge, that Cyan will ask the community to keep electing liaisons
(10/18 17:46:20) Whilyam: Yes.
(10/18 17:46:22) ghaelen: or would they tend to create them from their own ranks?
(10/18 17:46:28) CAGrayWolf: Good question. I would say yes as well.
(10/18 17:46:32) Gadren nods his head
(10/18 17:46:38) Dreamer: there are windows that only show the inside of the courtyard, no room or anything, just shows right through
(10/18 17:46:44) Vortmax: I think so. The DRC really wanted us to do this ourselves, so as long as the system keeps working, they wont' interfere.
(10/18 17:47:03) vid: At no point has anything been mentioned about dissolving the liaisons... so I don't see any reason they wouldn't want this to continue.
(10/18 17:47:17) Vortmax: Heh, people kept asking them to interfere in the last election, and they refused. They said it'd have to be a lot more broken before they'd step in.
(10/18 17:47:18) CAGrayWolf: I believe DRC are wanting to keep this more within the community and so are letting the community handle to majority of the task.
(10/18 17:47:33) Whilyam: We were asked to elect them from the community, not from Cyan. So yes.
(10/18 17:47:37) Rhee: no, i think it its really good to have this link, so i would hope they continue to renew and strengthen it
(10/18 17:48:12) Whilyam: Next?
(10/18 17:48:14) ghaelen: sorry Whilyam, I meant would Cyan/Drc choose 'liaisons'
(10/18 17:48:17) ghaelen: oops
(10/18 17:48:24) Whilyam: No.
(10/18 17:48:28) Whilyam: They won't.
(10/18 17:48:42) Whilyam: That's why they contacted us. Liaisons are the link between the two
(10/18 17:48:49) Dreamer: just flay out vote from the people?
(10/18 17:48:53) Whilyam: Ordered by the DRC, formed by the explorers.
(10/18 17:48:58) CAGrayWolf: Being a liaison also means that you have to pat strict attention to IC/OOC and be careful how you word things.
(10/18 17:49:42) Vortmax: Oh yes, that's a fun little game right there. :)
(10/18 17:49:49) Rhee: hehehehe
(10/18 17:49:56) vid nods his head
(10/18 17:49:57) ghaelen: boy, that brings up lots of questions I can't expect you to answer, like....Yeesha liaisons....?
(10/18 17:50:00) Whilyam: If you are here for the DRC Liaison Candidate meeting, please come within range of everyone.
(10/18 17:50:01) CAGrayWolf: and being aware of who is resposible for what ... IE: DRC is resposible for the restoration ... Cyan is responsible for the games.
(10/18 17:50:37) Vortmax: Oh ask anything you want. We've learned how to switch back and forth between IC/OOC fluidly. :)
(10/18 17:50:38) Aeris: you mean the technical aspects of the games?
(10/18 17:50:51) Dreamer: whoever went into the museum, can you get out?
(10/18 17:50:59) Whilyam: Yeesha Liaisons? Doubtful. Unless Yeesha suddenly feels she needs to communicate better with explorers.
(10/18 17:51:15) Whilyam: and it seems many people already try and communicate her message.
(10/18 17:51:23) ghaelen: and wouldn't that be something if she did
(10/18 17:51:26) Rhee: i think Yeesha will speak to those she deems it necessary to speak to
(10/18 17:51:26) CAGrayWolf: Though none of us have seen much of Yeesha recently anyway.!
(10/18 17:51:27) vid: Yeesha seems to prefer talking with people personally, anyway
(10/18 17:51:27) Whilyam: so... no real need,no.
(10/18 17:51:41) Rhee: without the middle man
(10/18 17:51:53) Whilyam: Or getting someone like Phil as a middleman
(10/18 17:52:09) CAGrayWolf: "Where is Phil?"!
(10/18 17:52:11) Whilyam: brb
(10/18 17:52:15) ghaelen: why does the DRC need liaisons? I never did understand that.
(10/18 17:52:18) Dreamer: vanished...
(10/18 17:52:29) Whilyam: to communicate better with the Explorers.
(10/18 17:52:31) Whilyam: brb again
(10/18 17:52:33) Vortmax: Well, remember how there were many complaints about them not talking to us enough, or giving us enough info?
(10/18 17:52:41) ghaelen: yes
(10/18 17:52:46) Rhee: i wish i could have met phil... but i wasn't around soon enough
(10/18 17:52:46) CAGrayWolf: The DRC have never been confortable with dealing with the explorers ...!
(10/18 17:52:46) Vortmax: I think they're trying to correct that, with the Liaisons.
(10/18 17:52:49) Aeris: As I understand it, they have not been good with communication in the past, and want to improve
(10/18 17:52:58) ghaelen: ah, I see now
(10/18 17:53:14) CAGrayWolf: But they also recognize that they need us and much as we need them ... and so communication is important.!
(10/18 17:53:21) vid: the DRC already have their hands full with the restoration... so rather than try to make time they already don't have to come talk with us personally.. they've asked for five people to do it for them
(10/18 17:53:38) ghaelen: not because they don't have the capacity, but they need a buffer?
(10/18 17:53:40) Rhee: exactly! what's the point in restoring the cavern if there's no one to come and enjoy it?
(10/18 17:53:41) Vortmax: I honestly don't know how much better they'll be now, because there hasn't been a whole lot of new information to give.
(10/18 17:53:51) Aeris: I like the way that the community meetings have been handled, and getting to meet with people in Cyan and Gametap was exciting.
(10/18 17:53:53) peni: shorah :)
(10/18 17:53:59) Vortmax: Heya peni! :)
(10/18 17:54:06) Aeris: shorah peni :)
(10/18 17:54:11) ghaelen: yeah, I do understand the <whispers> OOC reason
(10/18 17:54:20) ghaelen: hi peni!
(10/18 17:54:20) CAGrayWolf: Shorah Peni!
(10/18 17:54:27) peni: hi
(10/18 17:54:29) Dreamer: Shorah, peace to you peni
(10/18 17:54:34) Vortmax: But yeah, they're so busy withthe restoration, it's far easier for them to have a set of people to work with who are here a lot anyway. :)!
(10/18 17:54:50) janaba1: hello, Peni :-)
(10/18 17:55:00) peni: hi janaba !
(10/18 17:55:01) Aeris: That makes sense
(10/18 17:55:17) Rhee: i imagine, now that there is more funding for the DRC, and new areas will be opened as a result, there will be need for more communication.
(10/18 17:55:33) CAGrayWolf: Probably!
(10/18 17:55:34) Rhee: things like what's safe and what isn't, what's available, how the community can help, things like that
(10/18 17:55:38) Dreamer: the balcony...
(10/18 17:55:48) Dreamer: it connects to that courtyard...
(10/18 17:55:50) CAGrayWolf: Shorah Ural!
(10/18 17:55:55) Dreamer: bah, nevermind
(10/18 17:55:57) Vortmax: That's the hope, Rhee!
(10/18 17:56:06) Rhee: can't wait :)
(10/18 17:56:11) janaba1: hi, Ural
(10/18 17:56:11) ghaelen: you know, this kind of discussion would make a really nice audio roundtable discussion on a CCN program.....
(10/18 17:56:14) Aeris: May I ask a question that's not about the liaisons, since there are historians and such here?
(10/18 17:56:23) ghaelen always with her wild ideas
(10/18 17:56:24) Ural: Hello
(10/18 17:56:42) CAGrayWolf: ghaelen ... you are probably right.!
(10/18 17:56:44) vid: Aeris, can't hurt, go for it :)
(10/18 17:56:45) Aeris: How would one say "garden of the great tree" in d'ni?
(10/18 17:56:55) Vortmax: O.o!
(10/18 17:56:57) Rhee: oh wow!
(10/18 17:56:59) Aeris: lol
(10/18 17:57:01) Vortmax: No idea!
(10/18 17:57:02) janaba1 waves
(10/18 17:57:10) Aeris: okay, I'll keep looking, lol
(10/18 17:57:12) Rhee passes the hot potato on to the next guy
(10/18 17:57:30) ghaelen: lol
(10/18 17:57:49) CAGrayWolf: Aeris: You shuld check the Dni' Linguistic forum. They would be able to help you.!
(10/18 17:57:53) Rhee: who is it that has been doing lectures on the d'ni language... i remember reading something about it on the DRC forums
(10/18 17:57:56) janaba1: hi, Sheila
(10/18 17:57:57) Aeris: okay
(10/18 17:57:59) ghaelen: hi sheila
(10/18 17:57:59) Aeris: thanks
(10/18 17:58:02) Vortmax: That's Ian Atrus, Rhee!
(10/18 17:58:03) ghaelen: hey ken
(10/18 17:58:07) SheilaR: Shorah all
(10/18 17:58:08) Rhee: Right!!

(10/18 17:58:16) CAGrayWolf: Shorah Sheila!
(10/18 17:58:31) Aeris: I need to be going everyone. I'm glad I got to see everyone, and I'll try to get in for the next one, too
(10/18 17:58:43) vid: see you later, Aeris!
(10/18 17:58:43) Rhee: thanks so much for coming Aeris!

(10/18 17:59:53) Vortmax: Heh, not really.!
(10/18 17:59:59) janaba1: lol!
(10/18 18:00:02) CAGrayWolf: They have been awfully quiet lately.!
(10/18 18:00:07) Rhee: that's too bad really... hope to hear more from them soon!
(10/18 18:00:08) Vortmax: They are busy bees.!

(10/18 18:00:30) vid: buzz buzz: SAFETY buzz buzz: CONES!!!
(10/18 18:00:30) Vortmax: Just trying to fix the stuff that broke down in the last couple of years.!
(10/18 18:00:43) janaba1 starts to laugh
(10/18 18:00:56) Dreamer: booboop!
(10/18 18:01:05) Vortmax: I'm telling you, this place requires CONSTANT maintainence! No wonder they had a Guild of Maintainers!!
(10/18 18:01:14) CAGrayWolf starts to laugh
(10/18 18:01:18) CAGrayWolf: How true Vort!
(10/18 18:01:19) Ural: Lol
(10/18 18:01:26) vid: seriously, those buckets in Teledahn? Nightmares!

(10/18 18:02:17) Vortmax: Or the map!
(10/18 18:02:24) Rhee: hehehe
(10/18 18:02:29) vid: I don't know how that map is still standing!
(10/18 18:02:41) Vortmax: Printed on a sheet of nara?!
(10/18 18:02:42) janaba1 starts to laugh
(10/18 18:02:54) Rhee: must be top priority for the DRC to keep fixed
(10/18 18:02:59) Vortmax: And set on a nara easel, too.!
(10/18 18:03:00) ghaelen: oh, I have another question
(10/18 18:03:05) CAGrayWolf: I was thinking how would it be with a Bahro strapped to my back ... I could go anywhere in the cavern.!
(10/18 18:03:10) Vortmax: I KNOW NOTZING!!
(10/18 18:03:18) ghaelen: This may already be on the drc site, but I don't know
(10/18 18:03:23) vid: Vort is like the goggles.. HE KNOW NOTZING
(10/18 18:03:34) ghaelen: is there any indication of when the election will be held?
(10/18 18:03:37) janaba1: lol!
(10/18 18:03:43) Vortmax: Starting Saturday, ghaelen!
(10/18 18:03:44) Rhee: 21st of october, i think?
(10/18 18:03:45) vid: Voting starts saturday
(10/18 18:03:49) ghaelen: oooh, ok
(10/18 18:03:52) ghaelen: great!
(10/18 18:03:52) janaba1: eyes!
(10/18 18:03:56) vid: for one week... I assume after that... election day!
(10/18 18:03:58) Vortmax: You do NOT have to pre-register this time either.!
(10/18 18:04:01) Rhee: whatever day is saturday
(10/18 18:04:09) Ural: How will we transition to live?
(10/18 18:04:18) Dreamer: well, at least if you DID have a bahro, you wouldn't need to use fly mode
(10/18 18:04:19) CAGrayWolf: 21 thru the 28!
(10/18 18:04:19) Rhee: oh wow, toughie
(10/18 18:04:19) Vortmax: You mean the Liaisons?!
(10/18 18:04:30) Ural: Yes
(10/18 18:04:36) Rhee: probably with a lot of groaning and skinned knuckles
(10/18 18:04:37) ghaelen: do you mind if I talk a little about this on a shortwave, to advertise it more?
(10/18 18:04:52) Dreamer hopes we get pets in live
(10/18 18:04:54) CAGrayWolf: Please do ghaelen.!
(10/18 18:04:55) Vortmax: Eh, not entirely sure. Things, in theory, shouldn't change too much. But it's really tought to know what the job will be until we get there.!
(10/18 18:04:56) vid: I think we'll take of our "Until Uru" shirts and put on "Uru Live" shirts? :)
(10/18 18:05:02) Vortmax: PLEASE DO, ghaelen.!
(10/18 18:05:05) Rhee: that would be great, ghaelen!
(10/18 18:05:05) vid: Ghaelen, yes, please!
(10/18 18:05:09) Vortmax: Spread the word, EVERYONE.!
(10/18 18:05:16) ghaelen: ok, then, I guess that's a yes?
(10/18 18:05:19) ghaelen laughs
(10/18 18:05:23) Vortmax: Everyone should have a voice in this election!
(10/18 18:05:37) vid was sort of hoping shortwave would pick it up when he made the original post
(10/18 18:05:41) janaba1: lol!
(10/18 18:05:43) Vortmax: (Those who vote for me should have 2 voices. :) )!
(10/18 18:05:43) Rhee: there are still lots of people that don't know, so the more you can get the word heard, the better
(10/18 18:05:55) Rhee: lol Vort
(10/18 18:06:03) ghaelen: lol, sorry Vid....if only we didn't have surface jobs....
(10/18 18:06:14) vid: hehehe :)
(10/18 18:06:23) Dreamer already has split personality, why would he need another one?
(10/18 18:06:35) CAGrayWolf starts to laugh
(10/18 18:06:36) janaba1: lol!
(10/18 18:06:36) vid: why apologize? I said I was hoping for it, and you just asked :)
(10/18 18:06:39) Dreamer will still vote for Vort though
(10/18 18:06:44) Vortmax cheers
(10/18 18:06:56) Dreamer: If I can find the site
(10/18 18:06:59) Rhee: hehehehehe
(10/18 18:07:19) Dreamer: brb, supper time for me
(10/18 18:07:26) peni: K
(10/18 18:07:31) Vortmax: uruvote.stoneship.org!
(10/18 18:07:35) vid: But yes... tonight shows the point even more so.. that a lot of people don't understand exactly what this is all about yet, which is why we need to try and get the word out before saturday... otherwise we might have people who just "christmas tree" the voting ballots
(10/18 18:07:35) ghaelen: yeah, well, I'm not a reporter, and I never get in people's faces, so I always try to ask
(10/18 18:07:35) Rhee: well everyone, i'm afraid i have to go at the moment... some pressing surface situations demanding my presence
(10/18 18:07:46) vid: take care, Rhee
(10/18 18:07:51) ghaelen: bye Rhee
(10/18 18:07:56) CAGrayWolf: This is almost strange actually ... I've been romping in Doom 3 for the past few nights.!
(10/18 18:07:57) Rhee: (ie. hungry hubby will be expecting his supper)
(10/18 18:08:01) ghaelen waves
(10/18 18:08:01) Vortmax: Stupid surface!!
(10/18 18:08:06) Vortmax shakes his fist
(10/18 18:08:14) Rhee: But I will be back for the later meeting, i promise!!
(10/18 18:08:17) vid misses when everyone used to spend more time down here...
(10/18 18:08:18) janaba1: bye Rhee!
(10/18 18:08:19) Vortmax: See ya :)!
(10/18 18:08:21) vid sighs
(10/18 18:08:28) Rhee: seeya everyone, take care
(10/18 18:08:29) vid: See you then, Rhee!
(10/18 18:08:34) ghaelen: bye!
(10/18 18:08:35) Rhee waves
(10/18 18:08:39) CAGrayWolf: Bye Rhee ... and good luck.!
(10/18 18:08:42) janaba1 waves
(10/18 18:08:48) Vortmax has been guilty of spending too much time on the Surface of late himself

Log 2

(10/18 18:20:11) Chat.log started...
(10/18 18:20:17) Whilyam: Sorry. Crashed
(10/18 18:20:24) SheilaR: Everyone crashed Whil
(10/18 18:20:28) Whilyam: Ah
(10/18 18:21:02) Whilyam: Where's vid?
(10/18 18:21:03) SheilaR: That hasn't happened when I've been on for a long time
(10/18 18:21:17) Whilyam: I see everyone still online, just not here.
(10/18 18:21:17) peni (I'm on the surface, be back in a minute):
(10/18 18:21:20) Vortmax: He's on the way. He's here somewhere
(10/18 18:21:24) Vortmax points
(10/18 18:21:29) Vortmax: THERE HE IS!
(10/18 18:21:29) Whilyam: There he is
(10/18 18:21:33) vid: vid is here. But where's Phil?
(10/18 18:21:42) Vortmax: No... He....
(10/18 18:21:45) Vortmax links out
(10/18 18:21:47) Whilyam: Where is Thend, anyhow
(10/18 18:21:53) vid: No. Please no.
(10/18 18:21:55) Vortmax: Thend is in Kadish, I think
(10/18 18:22:01) Whilyam: Ah
(10/18 18:22:08) ghaelen: booted me butt right out
(10/18 18:22:10) Vortmax: Gahreesen. I stand corrected.
(10/18 18:22:12) Whilyam: So. Where were we?
(10/18 18:22:16) Vortmax: Everyone crashed apparently
(10/18 18:22:20) ghaelen: ack
(10/18 18:22:28) janaba1: lol
(10/18 18:22:50) ghaelen: ok, well I have to go try to give a surface lecture, but I should be back for the session this evening
(10/18 18:23:03) Whilyam: Okay. Bye Ghaelen
(10/18 18:23:04) vid: see you then, Ghaelen
(10/18 18:23:06) janaba1: bye ghaelen
(10/18 18:23:07) SheilaR: What time is that?
(10/18 18:23:07) ghaelen: so try not to say anything too interesting, or keep a log of it, OK? lol
(10/18 18:23:13) Vortmax: Have fun ghaelen
(10/18 18:23:14) ghaelen: bye for now
(10/18 18:23:15) SheilaR: cavern time
(10/18 18:23:15) Whilyam: I'm logging
(10/18 18:23:18) ghaelen: great
(10/18 18:23:21) vid: Are there anymore questions or concerns for now?
(10/18 18:23:22) ghaelen waves
(10/18 18:23:24) mikeplay3: Bye ghaelen
(10/18 18:23:25) janaba1: lol
(10/18 18:23:41) janaba1: hello, Mikeplay
(10/18 18:23:42) Vortmax: Next meeting is at 7PM Cavern Time?
(10/18 18:23:46) Whilyam: Yes
(10/18 18:23:48) vid nods his head
(10/18 18:23:52) SheilaR: Too late for me, then
(10/18 18:23:57) janaba1: for me too
(10/18 18:24:01) mikeplay3: Hi Janaba1
(10/18 18:24:01) janaba1: Germany :-))
(10/18 18:24:03) ghaelen: about 2.5 hours from now?
(10/18 18:24:08) ghaelen: awww, janaba....
(10/18 18:24:09) vid nods his head
(10/18 18:24:10) mikeplay3: Hi peni
(10/18 18:24:10) Vortmax: So like 2.5 hrs from now
(10/18 18:24:12) ghaelen: ok.
(10/18 18:24:16) SheilaR: It's nearly 11.30 p.m. here
(10/18 18:24:18) Whilyam: I'll put up logs of this meeting when I leave.
(10/18 18:24:25) ghaelen: echo, echo, one, two, three
(10/18 18:24:29) janaba1: in Germany it will be 3:00 am then
(10/18 18:24:29) peni: Hi mp3
(10/18 18:24:31) janaba1: :-))
(10/18 18:24:39) mikeplay3: Hi relentless
(10/18 18:24:45) Relentless: hi mp3
(10/18 18:24:45) janaba1: lol
(10/18 18:24:58) vid: Well, if you guys can't make the late meeting, are there any particular things you'd like to know at this point?
(10/18 18:25:11) SheilaR: Can I ask a REALLY stupid question?
(10/18 18:25:15) Whilyam: Sure!
(10/18 18:25:18) janaba1: no, thanks vid
(10/18 18:25:20) vid: There's no such thing as a stupid question
(10/18 18:25:29) janaba1: I've already read a lot everywhere
(10/18 18:25:29) SheilaR: Wait until you hear it vid!!!
(10/18 18:25:33) Vortmax: Only stupid answers. (Which are mostly mine.)
(10/18 18:25:34) janaba1 thanks you
(10/18 18:25:47) Whilyam: Unless you ask "Who's Whilyam?"
(10/18 18:25:50) Whilyam: :P
(10/18 18:25:55) Vortmax is Whilyam
(10/18 18:25:57) SheilaR: What do those elected actually do?? <embarrassed she doesn't know)
(10/18 18:25:57) janaba1: lol
(10/18 18:26:08) Vortmax: Heh, good question. We dont' know either.
(10/18 18:26:09) janaba1 starts to laugh
(10/18 18:26:10) Whilyam: Communicate between the DRC and explorers
(10/18 18:26:24) vid: the elected officials are meant to serve as communicators between the DRC and the explorers... at least that's the written description :)
(10/18 18:26:36) SheilaR: and how do they do that?
(10/18 18:26:38) vid: I don't think the current five themselves know for sure... right Vort? :)
(10/18 18:26:38) Vortmax: What we have done so far is basically set up the Town Hall meetings, so you guys can get direct answers from the people who have them.
(10/18 18:26:39) Whilyam: Giving and taking questions from both sides.
(10/18 18:27:09) janaba1: people have no idea yet, until Uru Live will be open to the public
(10/18 18:27:15) janaba1: but then they will see
(10/18 18:27:27) SheilaR: OK. I thought perhaps I was missing the plot!
(10/18 18:27:31) Vortmax: I think ideally what will happen is that the DRC will meet with us and give us some information, or ask for opinions on a certain topic, and then we'll come talk to you about it.
(10/18 18:27:40) janaba1: they can imagine something if they would watch the TGT prolog films
(10/18 18:27:59) Vortmax: That DID happen once already, with the Eder Delin picture
(10/18 18:28:06) vid nods his head
(10/18 18:28:16) vid: Boy... everyone was in an uproar that day..
(10/18 18:28:24) Vortmax: But really, that's the only juicy info we got.
(10/18 18:28:28) Whilyam: Yeah, big news.
(10/18 18:28:38) janaba1: ou will have to force the DRC to be cooperative and open
(10/18 18:28:44) Vortmax: Well, we also knew that GameTap people would be at the "super special Town Hall meeting" before you guys...
(10/18 18:28:51) Relentless: anybody know if gametap is gonna be available in europe?
(10/18 18:29:03) Vortmax: I'm sure it will Relentless, it's just a matter of when.
(10/18 18:29:09) Whilyam: I don't. Good chance it will, though
(10/18 18:29:13) SheilaR: Whoo hoo
(10/18 18:29:16) vid: the DRC have always been cooperative and open, I think... just... there's not as many of them as there are us... and they're already very busy
(10/18 18:29:17) Relentless: yeah
(10/18 18:29:20) Relentless does a dance
(10/18 18:29:22) janaba1: the liaisonds will have to be very strong and be always behind the DRC
(10/18 18:29:35) janaba1: what they are doing, to keep us informed
(10/18 18:29:41) Dreamer: hello mp3
(10/18 18:29:45) janaba1: Bahro says yes
(10/18 18:29:47) SheilaR: Do you have special personal links then
(10/18 18:29:51) mikeplay3: hi dreamer
(10/18 18:29:53) Whilyam: Not behind them, supporting them, though
(10/18 18:29:59) Vortmax: Eh, I'm not always behind the DRC. I do support them though.
(10/18 18:30:04) janaba1: yes both
(10/18 18:30:14) Whilyam: Just listening to them
(10/18 18:30:20) Vortmax: I'll be quick to point out their flaws, but also their benefits.
(10/18 18:30:22) Whilyam: and giving them info if they want it
(10/18 18:30:26) janaba1: just to be aware of all
(10/18 18:30:28) Whilyam: Same here, Vort.
(10/18 18:30:36) peni cheers
(10/18 18:30:53) Vortmax: After all, they have done a LOT of work that allows us to even be here. Yeesha couldn't have given us the Journey without their work on the Ages first.
(10/18 18:30:54) janaba1: but in the first instance you have to inform us the explorers
(10/18 18:31:01) janaba1: as i understand it
(10/18 18:31:09) Whilyam: No
(10/18 18:31:11) Vortmax: Right. Above all, if you're elected, you must set aside personal opinions.
(10/18 18:31:15) Whilyam: Both are equal
(10/18 18:31:19) Vortmax: When doing the job, anyway.
(10/18 18:31:24) janaba1: otherwise it will end up as it did in the past
(10/18 18:31:29) vid: You can still have your opinions, but they shouldn't affect the job
(10/18 18:31:36) Vortmax: You must be unbiased, and pass the information back and forth cleanly.
(10/18 18:31:45) Whilyam: Exactly
(10/18 18:31:49) SheilaR: And you would do that how?
(10/18 18:31:52) janaba1: correct
(10/18 18:31:54) Vortmax: Right vid. They have to be seperated from the job. (Which is partly why I have a DRCL Avatar for "official work")
(10/18 18:32:22) peni: Incoming
(10/18 18:32:24) Vortmax: What, remain unbiased? I find it easy to do. I pass along the information first.
(10/18 18:32:27) peni: ?
(10/18 18:32:40) SheilaR: How would you pass on the information, I mean
(10/18 18:32:41) Vortmax: If I have any comments, I may share that in discussion afterward, but the info comes out first, just as I got it.
(10/18 18:32:46) Whilyam: Logs on the forum, Shiela
(10/18 18:32:59) SheilaR: OK. That's what I thought, but wanted to make sure
(10/18 18:33:07) Whilyam: that's what I'm planning to do if elected.
(10/18 18:33:10) vid: Logs is one thing... but it feels like the best answer is just face to face with the explorers.
(10/18 18:33:14) Vortmax: For the meetings, we post logs. For things like the Eder Delin pic, we took pics in our KIs of the picture on the imager, and spread that around in the Cavern.
(10/18 18:33:30) vid: that way you're available to answer as much as you can
(10/18 18:33:34) janaba1: yes vid
(10/18 18:33:37) Vortmax: And I'm usually hanging around here talking to people, and you're always free to ask about stuff.
(10/18 18:33:59) Vortmax: Usually that's one of the first things I hear when I get down here. "Any news from the DRC?" :D
(10/18 18:34:06) Whilyam starts to laugh
(10/18 18:34:07) SheilaR: lol
(10/18 18:34:07) vid: oh, that reminds me
(10/18 18:34:10) vid: Vort...
(10/18 18:34:12) janaba1 starts to laugh
(10/18 18:34:25) vid: ...any news from the DRC?\
(10/18 18:34:29) Whilyam: any news from the DRC?
(10/18 18:34:32) Vortmax: And then I'm going "Did you hear about this?? Or this??"
(10/18 18:34:40) janaba1: anything new?
(10/18 18:34:42) janaba1: lol
(10/18 18:34:46) Whilyam: from the DRC?
(10/18 18:34:48) Vortmax: Ummm... Did you hear about the new pictures of these weird Ages?
(10/18 18:34:54) Vortmax: I think they're on GameSpot or something.
(10/18 18:35:06) Vortmax: I can get the URL if you want
(10/18 18:35:10) Dreamer: Eder Tsogahl and Eder Delin?
(10/18 18:35:10) SheilaR: Oooh
(10/18 18:35:17) vid: IGN... GameSpot... all over... nothing on the DRCSite though
(10/18 18:35:22) janaba1: UO forum
(10/18 18:35:24) Vortmax: One is clearly Delin, and we assume the other is Tsogahl.
(10/18 18:35:30) janaba1: IGN yes
(10/18 18:35:33) Vortmax: Oh yeah, did you hear about the interview on CNET? :D
(10/18 18:35:33) vid wants to get in contact with someone he can ask about fixing some of the bugs on the DRC Site
(10/18 18:35:39) Whilyam: Yes, we need the DRC to give out more info and update us on what's happening.
(10/18 18:35:40) Dreamer: it looks like a weird swampy thing?
(10/18 18:35:49) Whilyam: brb
(10/18 18:35:57) Vortmax: I'm honestly not sure who runs the DRC site. I think greydragon is freelancing for the DRC on that one.
(10/18 18:36:22) Dreamer: like, part swampy, then there are hills lined with Oaks and moantains?
(10/18 18:36:27) vid: I'm trying to imagine that e-mail "Greydragon, DRC Site is broken, please let me fix it for free? Thanks, vid"
(10/18 18:36:33) Vortmax: I'm pretty sure the site is on Cyan's servers, but that's probably a good charitable donation tax writeoff :D
(10/18 18:36:38) Vortmax: Yeah Dreamer
(10/18 18:36:46) Dreamer: yep, Tsogahl
(10/18 18:36:53) Vortmax: Where has that been confirmed?
(10/18 18:37:06) Dreamer: can't figure out what those two other ages are in the museum
(10/18 18:37:09) CHAORAIN: Can some one please send me the charecter commands
(10/18 18:37:14) Dreamer: UO
(10/18 18:37:22) Whilyam: Negilahn and Todelmer, Dreamer
(10/18 18:37:27) vid: Todelmer and Negilahn
(10/18 18:37:31) SheilaR: lol
(10/18 18:37:35) Vortmax: Oh crap, I think I deleted those, Chaorain...
(10/18 18:37:37) Dreamer: they've got Todelmer, YAY
(10/18 18:37:42) vid: too bad they're locked off...
(10/18 18:37:42) CHAORAIN: I had them but lost them by accident
(10/18 18:38:01) Dreamer just has to sign up for LIVE
(10/18 18:38:04) CHAORAIN: hello?
(10/18 18:38:32) SheilaR: There don't seem to have been any more invitations sent out recently
(10/18 18:38:33) janaba1: sent
(10/18 18:38:38) CHAORAIN: got it thanks
(10/18 18:38:40) SheilaR: for beta.
(10/18 18:38:46) SheilaR: Have they stopped?
(10/18 18:38:52) janaba1: yw
(10/18 18:38:53) Vortmax: I don't think they've stopped
(10/18 18:39:00) vid: Dreamer, they haven't
(10/18 18:39:00) Whilyam: Everyone here for the DRC Liaison Candidate meetings pleace come to the circular balcony overlooking the canyon off of the Tokotah.
(10/18 18:39:09) Vortmax: Maybe just slowed down for a bit. but the open beta should start any week now
(10/18 18:39:11) Whilyam: please*
(10/18 18:39:35) janaba1: yes mike
(10/18 18:39:40) vid: Todelmer was intended to be released via Live.. but it got lumped into Myst V instead. It hasn't been said that it'd be added into Uru again, though I sure hope it will be.
(10/18 18:39:48) mikeplay3: thx Janaba1
(10/18 18:39:57) vid: anyway... I have to go see about hosting another event in just a few moments
(10/18 18:40:02) janaba1: yw
(10/18 18:40:03) Dreamer: oh, I see it now, on Todelmer in Myst 5 you're up on a cliff or the observatory, but now you're able to explore the lower region :D
(10/18 18:40:18) vid: so I'll see you all later... but leave you with this very important message
(10/18 18:40:27) Vortmax: Ah yes, SWN
(10/18 18:40:35) vid: Hayatchachachacha...chaaaaaa.... kick, punch, it's all in the mind *kick punch*
(10/18 18:40:35) SheilaR: I'll be along later vid
(10/18 18:40:42) Dreamer: oh, wait, nevermind :(
(10/18 18:40:46) janaba1: Ubisoft has its hands on Myst V til 2008
(10/18 18:40:58) Vortmax dies of Parappa poisoning
(10/18 18:41:04) vid: if you want to test me, I'm sure you'll find, the things I'll teach ya, I'll surely beatcha, but nevertheless, you'll get a lesson from teacha!!
(10/18 18:41:10) janaba1: bye Sheila
(10/18 18:41:12) vid: vote vid - he's the good kind of crazy! :)
(10/18 18:41:25) Dreamer never saw Todelmer during the day time
(10/18 18:41:27) Vortmax thought he was the good kind of crazy...
(10/18 18:41:37) janaba1: oh, SWN

(10/18 18:41:42) SheilaR thinks all crazy is good
(10/18 18:41:44) Whilyam: Anyhow... I have to go for a bit. Hope to see you all at Spoken Word Night in... 20 minutes in the UO hood.

Well, it looks like a few forums I'm administrating/tech advisor for got spammed again and it means more work on the forum's spam filters. Guess I won't be able to make the meeting tonight.

Hope everyone takes good notes, lol.

(10/18 21:06:02) Katva: not ad
(10/18 21:06:04) From Yatgirl: I was filming that when you jumped over! it was cool!
(10/18 21:06:05) Katva: bad
(10/18 21:06:14) Whilyam: We're a bridge between the DRC and the Explorers.
(10/18 21:06:22) Katva: and what has the DRC done for us lately?
(10/18 21:06:30) oldmanjob: what will you guys do that the original people didn't!
(10/18 21:06:33) vid: nine words... Whil wins this round!
(10/18 21:06:49) Yatgirl: i'm suffering from too much Pomp and not enough Circumstance
(10/18 21:06:50) Rex Havoc: Ack lag
(10/18 21:07:02) Whilyam: They've given us pictures of new Ages and they're doing their best to repair what we've broken over the last 2 years :P
(10/18 21:07:05) vid: the DRC has been getting the caven back nto working order, and trying to get new ages available to us in time for the restoration to return full force in December
(10/18 21:07:13) Katva: And...big question...have they found Phil?
(10/18 21:07:16) Whilyam: No
(10/18 21:07:26) vid: If they have, we don't know about it.
(10/18 21:07:33) Whilyam: However, due to my efforts, we've found out new things about the circumstances
(10/18 21:07:37) Katva: Will we get to go down the Great Shaft?
(10/18 21:07:47) Katva: ooh, tell all Whil
(10/18 21:07:56) Yatgirl: rOFLMAO
(10/18 21:07:59) oldmanjob: or are we going to get the great shaft!
(10/18 21:08:03) vid: Katva, these questions are more well suited to asking the DRC... or having us ask if we're elected :)
(10/18 21:08:18) Katva: Just testing you vid
(10/18 21:08:28) Whilyam: Namely, confirmation it was Phil's KI in the rubble, and info that no one knows exactly what "killed" him.
(10/18 21:08:33) oldmanjob: what will you do to improve communications !
(10/18 21:08:39) Katva: hey ghaelen
(10/18 21:08:46) vid: The DRC Liasons (and candidates!) aren't privy to any more information then the rest of us, we're just middle men
(10/18 21:08:55) Rex Havoc: Being available is important
(10/18 21:08:55) ghaelen: hi all!
(10/18 21:09:06) mikeplay3: hi ghaelen
(10/18 21:09:10) Whilyam: I will hold regular and irregular meetings in the City and the hoods to gather questions to be asked whenever a DRC member is availible to bug.
(10/18 21:09:10) Resolute.Guardian (I'm on the surface, be back in a minute):
(10/18 21:09:21) K'laamas: lol
(10/18 21:09:24) vid: OMJ, I personally intend to spend more time in the cavern personally, so people can get in touch that way... aside from the usual channels of PMs and forums and things.
(10/18 21:09:28) Rex Havoc: They usually run for cover
(10/18 21:09:47) Whilyam: I will schedule and make the DRC keep to the meetings the Liaisons set up.
(10/18 21:09:47) Rex Havoc: DRC members that si
(10/18 21:10:09) Katva takes notes
(10/18 21:10:13) vid: I'm also hoping that if I'm elected, the other four liaisons would be willing to post to a public blog sort of thing... that way there will always be a bit more contact there, even if it's to say "nothing is happening right now"
(10/18 21:10:27) Katva claps her hands
(10/18 21:10:31) Rhee balances her plate of supper on one hand as she runs down the stairs
(10/18 21:10:34) Whilyam: Oh yes. Of course all news and opinions will be on my blog.
(10/18 21:10:56) Whilyam: Regardless of whether or not I'm elected :P
(10/18 21:11:05) ghaelen: did you mean the group blog, whilyam?
(10/18 21:11:05) Rex Havoc: I would think as we approach the opening of Live, a lot more information will be made available
(10/18 21:11:07) oldmanjob: why don't you all work with one blog and make it easy on us!
(10/18 21:11:08) Katva: good balancing Rheee
(10/18 21:11:14) Rhee: hi everyone sorry i'm late, supper took longer than expected
(10/18 21:11:16) Whilyam: Group blog and personal one, Ghaelen
(10/18 21:11:22) Yatgirl: i'm sorry...who are the candidates again?
(10/18 21:11:23) ghaelen: ok
(10/18 21:11:24) vid: OMJ, that's what I was suggesting... a singular blog for liaisons
(10/18 21:11:33) Whilyam: Whichever is easiest for people to get to
(10/18 21:11:39) vid: Yatgirl, there are 22 candidates...
(10/18 21:11:41) Rex Havoc: A central place is importnat
(10/18 21:11:46) Yatgirl: jHC!
(10/18 21:11:53) Katva: TWENTY TWO???
(10/18 21:11:57) Rex Havoc: He is not one of them,.,
(10/18 21:12:00) oldmanjob: one blog is great there is already too much to try to read now!
(10/18 21:12:02) Rhee: yes, there's lots of them this time!
(10/18 21:12:03) Yatgirl: Lol good
(10/18 21:12:08) Katva: yikes
(10/18 21:12:15) Whilyam: Rhee vid and myself are the only candidates currently present.
(10/18 21:12:16) Katva: Do I know any of them? LOL
(10/18 21:12:30) Katva: I thought REx was a candidate?
(10/18 21:12:31) Rex Havoc: And Rex...
(10/18 21:12:31) Rhee: tadaaa!
(10/18 21:12:32) Yatgirl: can someone direct me to a webpage containing the info on the candidates, their position and platform?
(10/18 21:12:33) Rhee does a dance
(10/18 21:12:37) Whilyam: D'oh..
(10/18 21:12:42) Rhee: uruvote.stoneship.org
(10/18 21:12:43) Whilyam: Sorry.
(10/18 21:12:49) Yatgirl: go Rhee!
(10/18 21:12:50) oldmanjob: REX, REX, REX!
(10/18 21:13:07) Rex Havoc: :)
(10/18 21:13:15) ghaelen: is that the site I should send people to on the shortwave, too?
(10/18 21:13:17) mikeplay3: hi peni
(10/18 21:13:24) vid: TomahnaGuy, Mystical Explorer, Tweek, vidkid7 (that's me!), Darkstar, Eleri, Rex (right here), Kato, Professor Askew, Gadren, Zib Redlektab, CAGraywolf, Whil (also here), Lord Chaos, Vortmax, Rhee (here here here), Kelm, The Psion, Plinthon, Tehl Nava, Ian Watson, and Brian Fioca
(10/18 21:13:24) Whilyam: Okay. So four people could show up here... and just add one random guy and you have your votes all set. Bye! :P
(10/18 21:13:25) Rhee: sure, ghaelen
(10/18 21:13:27) mikeplay3: hi filippe
(10/18 21:13:30) Rex Havoc: I would think so
(10/18 21:13:39) Rex Havoc: lol
(10/18 21:13:40) vid: ghaelen, yes
(10/18 21:13:42) ghaelen: ok, will do
(10/18 21:13:43) Katva: I forget how many we can vote four.,,,.seem to remeber it was a starange voting procedure
(10/18 21:13:45) Rhee: yes!! BRILLIaNT idea
(10/18 21:13:53) ghaelen: lol
(10/18 21:13:54) Rhee: this time you get five votes
(10/18 21:13:56) Whilyam: it's simpler this time
(10/18 21:14:00) Yatgirl: religion didn't go over too well on Tapestry..what makes ya'll think politics will do well here?
(10/18 21:14:03) Rex Havoc: I think the plan is to change the voting but I have not seen anything about it
(10/18 21:14:05) Whilyam: five people, five votes. no wieghing.
(10/18 21:14:05) Rhee: not weighted, so each will count equally
(10/18 21:14:10) vid: you choose the five people you feel you would like to see in the position... that's all there is to it :)
(10/18 21:14:21) Rhee: you don't have to use all of your votes, but you can't vote twice for the same person
(10/18 21:14:22) vid: Yatgirl, that's why it
(10/18 21:14:28) vid: 's not about politics
(10/18 21:14:31) Whilyam: Ties will be... dealt with.. *sharpens knife*
(10/18 21:14:36) K'laamas: lol
(10/18 21:14:37) Rhee: lol
(10/18 21:14:42) Rex Havoc: Not really politics, per se
(10/18 21:14:42) Yatgirl: What Vid?
(10/18 21:14:44) Rhee gets out her chainmail
(10/18 21:14:49) ghaelen: wow, I'm glad I came to this. I haven't had time to wade through all the posts
(10/18 21:14:55) Whilyam gets out his chainsaw
(10/18 21:15:08) Rex Havoc jumps over railing
(10/18 21:15:11) Katva: I cant say that I remember a lot that current liasons did...
(10/18 21:15:12) vid: We're not politicians... we're explorers who want to help the explorers and DRC as much as possible, so that we can have a successful return to the cavern full time
(10/18 21:15:14) Whilyam: I'm logging this and will put up the log on the topic in the DRC forum.
(10/18 21:15:27) Whilyam: so in case stuff scrolls by too much
(10/18 21:15:29) Katva: couple of town meetings...
(10/18 21:15:29) Yatgirl: Is it a popularity contest then?
(10/18 21:15:39) Whilyam: No.
(10/18 21:15:40) ghaelen: yay to logging
(10/18 21:15:41) K'laamas: there hasn't been a /lot/ for the current liasons to do, while things have been so slow in the cavern
(10/18 21:15:47) Whilyam: It's a show of skills
(10/18 21:15:51) Rex Havoc: No, not any more than any election...
(10/18 21:15:55) vid: It's not about us being in positions, as much as it is about the community as a whole coming together to share ideas and make the cavern a better place
(10/18 21:15:55) Yatgirl: i wish I knew what they do do.
(10/18 21:15:59) Katva: youa re loggin this?? ergh...
(10/18 21:16:12) Rhee: and its a choice for the person you think will do the best job, not necesarily the person you like or know the best
(10/18 21:16:16) Whilyam: Who can be reliable and who can be trusted and who can work best as a team player.
(10/18 21:16:17) Katva: I wont be able to show my avie in the cavern again
(10/18 21:16:21) vid: Yat, they've scheduled all of the town hall meetings so far... with the DRC< Cyan, and GameTap
(10/18 21:16:23) Yatgirl: Lol
(10/18 21:16:47) ghaelen: glad you're here now, Toz!
(10/18 21:16:48) Whilyam: That's why I hesitate to say stuff like "if elected I will--"
(10/18 21:16:49) Rex Havoc: They are a conduit for communication between Cyan and the community
(10/18 21:16:56) vid: aside from that, since the restoration has been halted for so long, they haven't had a lot else to do... but even that has been appreciated, I think... and we've learned a lot from all groups involved.
(10/18 21:16:58) oldmanjob passes Toz a map
(10/18 21:17:05) Rhee: yeah... we don't relaly gain power, just responsibilties
(10/18 21:17:05) ghaelen: hey peni
(10/18 21:17:18) Rex Havoc: And a target on our back
(10/18 21:17:24) Katva: lol
(10/18 21:17:27) Rhee: hehehehe
(10/18 21:17:42) Katva: Will you carry on when Live becomes reality?
(10/18 21:17:53) Whilyam: Why wouldn't I?
(10/18 21:17:57) Rex Havoc: It is all up to Cyan, we think so
(10/18 21:18:04) vid: That's the thing.. the first election brought a lot of animosity out of the woodwork, because too many people believed it was a position of power, not of being "Middle-men" so to speak
(10/18 21:18:25) Whilyam: We were chosen by the DRC. I don't see Liaisons going away any time soon.
(10/18 21:18:31) Rex Havoc: I t got ugly, plain and simple
(10/18 21:18:41) ghaelen: are you offended by the question, Whilyam?
(10/18 21:18:45) Rhee: its not so much that we are trying to lead people or make giant changes in process, we're just volunteering our time and devotion to make the experience of Uru better for all involved, the DRC and the community.
(10/18 21:18:49) vid: nothing to get so worked up about... again... it's not politics, it's just trying to make it easier to pass information back and forth between the explorers and the DRC
(10/18 21:18:52) Whilyam: No, just firm in my belief.
(10/18 21:18:56) Rhee: but 22 is to many, so you have to chose the best 5
(10/18 21:19:05) Whilyam: This is a position that both sides need.
(10/18 21:19:06) peni (I'm on the surface, be back in a minute):
(10/18 21:19:08) Yatgirl: don't we have that already with the Greeters?
(10/18 21:19:18) Rhee: greeters are differnet
(10/18 21:19:18) Whilyam: To kill it off would be the stupidest thing the DRC could ever do.
(10/18 21:19:19) Rex Havoc: Greeters are different
(10/18 21:19:23) Yatgirl: i know I haven't been Greeted in a while but I know they're there LOL
(10/18 21:19:24) Rex Havoc: Speaking as one
(10/18 21:19:38) K'laamas: the Greeters are to welcome ppl into the cavern, & help them learn about the community
(10/18 21:19:38) vid: Not really... the Guild of Greeters are more involved in welcoming new people to the cavern, and teaching them the workings of life down here
(10/18 21:19:39) Rhee: they are here to help newcomers understand and adapt to the new environment here
(10/18 21:19:48) oldmanjob: you got my picture the old greeter!
(10/18 21:19:48) K'laamas: the Liasons are a go-between between us & the DRC
(10/18 21:19:56) Rex Havoc: Greeters work on an individual basis to help peoople navigate through the cavern
(10/18 21:20:12) Rex Havoc: and feel at home
(10/18 21:20:12) Yatgirl: lOL!
(10/18 21:20:18) Whilyam: The Liaisons get NEW information. The Greeters disperse OLD information. That's pretty much the core of the differences.
(10/18 21:20:27) Whilyam: Both are essential.
(10/18 21:20:29) ghaelen: that's my understanding, too, K'laamas
(10/18 21:20:41) oldmanjob: we also pass on new when we have it !
(10/18 21:20:52) Whilyam: As I said in the beginning: The Liaisons are a bridge between the DRC and the Explorers.
(10/18 21:21:05) vid: but the LIAIS-GREETERS are UNSTOPPABLE!
(10/18 21:21:13) ghaelen starts to laugh
(10/18 21:21:20) vid: Rex, you're a greeter, right? Come here... :)
(10/18 21:21:21) Whilyam: I prefer Greetsons.
(10/18 21:21:25) oldmanjob: Greeters for ever!
(10/18 21:21:36) Rex Havoc slaps hie forhead
(10/18 21:21:39) ghaelen: Gre-atsons?
(10/18 21:21:48) Whilyam: Great sons?
(10/18 21:21:55) <sniffle> Rex Havoc is sad
(10/18 21:21:58) Whilyam: What about great daughters?
(10/18 21:21:59) Rhee: can i make a quick analogy here? that will clear this up?
(10/18 21:22:01) ghaelen laughs
(10/18 21:22:02) K'laamas: <Derail> ;)
(10/18 21:22:03) vid links hands with Rex
(10/18 21:22:13) vid: FORM: MEGA GREATSON!
(10/18 21:22:14) Yatgirl: please Rhee I'd like to hear it
(10/18 21:22:16) Whilyam watches the discussion fly away.
(10/18 21:22:27) vid: go for it, Rhee :)
(10/18 21:22:48) Rhee: Think of it this way. Greeters are the link between newcomers and the rest of the community, helping them to understand what's going on, what's appropriate, etc.
(10/18 21:22:50) ghaelen gets out the rare notepad
(10/18 21:23:09) Rex Havoc: yes
(10/18 21:23:34) Rhee: while the DRCL's are the link between the whole community,, new and old, and they help the communiity to understand what the DRC needs, and to help the DRC understand what the community needs
(10/18 21:23:34) vid nods his head
(10/18 21:23:35) Rex Havoc: Liaisons are a link between the whole community and Cyan/DRC
(10/18 21:23:35) Katva: can you eliminate stack error? ROFL
(10/18 21:23:36) Whilyam: Both are there to inform people. However, that's pretty much where the similarity ends.
(10/18 21:23:37) peni (I'm on the surface, be back in a minute):
(10/18 21:23:47) Rex Havoc: I wish!@!
(10/18 21:23:51) vid: I think Rhee hit the nail on the head
(10/18 21:24:08) Rex Havoc: A broader picture
(10/18 21:24:10) Whilyam: Any other questions?
(10/18 21:24:11) Katva: oK, I dont think many people in the cavern even know abgout the DRC web site
(10/18 21:24:11) ghaelen: night, relentless
(10/18 21:24:12) Rhee: adn i didn't even mash my thumb!
(10/18 21:24:24) Katva: are you going to promote that?
(10/18 21:24:33) Rex Havoc: I think a lot don't know about many of the forums
(10/18 21:24:35) Whilyam: That's up to the DRC
(10/18 21:24:36) ghaelen: I have a question for the liaisons about that
(10/18 21:24:42) Yatgirl: The forums suck
(10/18 21:24:44) Whilyam: if they ask us to.. I guess, sure.
(10/18 21:24:56) Rex Havoc: What are you doing to help that Yatgirl?
(10/18 21:25:17) ghaelen: If voters can only go to one forum, which one is the best for the amount of information and ease-of-use?
(10/18 21:25:24) Katva: so, basically, you are looking to personal contact in the cavern and a blog to get out opinions suggestions, etc?
(10/18 21:25:26) vid: DRCSite
(10/18 21:25:27) Whilyam: DRC site.
(10/18 21:25:28) oldmanjob: There are too many forums to try and keep up with!
(10/18 21:25:32) Yatgirl: Most forums everyone want to be in charge, they don't allow anyone to argue with them in any way and everyone wants to be in charge of others
(10/18 21:25:34) madge (I'm on the surface, be back in a minute):
(10/18 21:25:39) Whilyam: I would like to see a consolidation of the community
(10/18 21:25:40) madge (I'm on the surface, be back in a minute):
(10/18 21:25:40) ghaelen is writing the shortwave advert
(10/18 21:25:42) Rex Havoc: DRC site for what we are discussion right now
(10/18 21:25:45) Yatgirl: i'm in charge of ME
(10/18 21:25:46) vid: the DRCSite forum has all of the pertinent information regarding the elections
(10/18 21:25:53) Yatgirl: And that is enough LOL
(10/18 21:25:57) Whilyam: The ammount of forums is too much.
(10/18 21:26:03) Yatgirl: i will check out that forum then :)
(10/18 21:26:07) Katva: here here!
(10/18 21:26:10) K'laamas: there aren't /that/ many forums
(10/18 21:26:10) Katva claps her hands
(10/18 21:26:16) ghaelen writes furiously in D'ni shorthand
(10/18 21:26:21) vid: Yat, then don't let anyone be in charge of you! Everyone here is on equal ground, and deserves to be treated that way
(10/18 21:26:21) Yatgirl: There are about 11 forums I know of
(10/18 21:26:24) Whilyam: Certainly those that expect to be notified of Liaison matters.
(10/18 21:26:25) Rex Havoc: Maybe 10 or so
(10/18 21:26:35) K'laamas: The main ones are DRC, UL, M/UO, MC, & DLF, I believe.
(10/18 21:26:45) Whilyam: Yes. And Great Tree
(10/18 21:26:47) Rex Havoc: Umm, GoG... :)
(10/18 21:26:47) Yatgirl: i wont start complaining about Tapestry shard but some of ya'll know what I'm saying
(10/18 21:26:49) SteveW (I'm on the surface, be back in a minute):
(10/18 21:26:58) oldmanjob: GoG!
(10/18 21:27:03) K'laamas: ah yes, GoG
(10/18 21:27:06) ghaelen: yes, GT and GOG
(10/18 21:27:06) Katva: judging by how few people here tonight even knew of this meeting...
(10/18 21:27:17) Whilyam: Still. This is a good gathering.
(10/18 21:27:21) Yatgirl: fEW? this is a Mosh Pit!
(10/18 21:27:25) Rhee: yes, i'm impressed
(10/18 21:27:29) Rex Havoc: No one is saying getting information out is an easy job!
(10/18 21:27:30) Dreamer: what's this?
(10/18 21:27:35) ghaelen: lol
(10/18 21:27:41) Rhee: considering the short notice it was planned with too
(10/18 21:27:47) vid: Remember, that for right now... D'mala is the closest thing we have to Uru Live. It's a single place for us to go, instead of being scatterd out across shards... so we need to get through any differences we have, and come together!
(10/18 21:28:03) Rex Havoc: People are here on D'mala for different reasons too
(10/18 21:28:03) Yatgirl: yes and I'm glad
(10/18 21:28:13) Whilyam: I have an idea for everyone here with an enemy..
(10/18 21:28:17) Yatgirl: well, the people here are WAY nicer
(10/18 21:28:19) Katva: i havent heard a lot of questions from newer explorers..
(10/18 21:28:22) Whilyam: Anyone whom they disagree with.
(10/18 21:28:25) ghaelen: and I usually couldn't be here, but today was a lucky day
(10/18 21:28:31) Rhee pulls out her guitar and passes flowers and peace-sign necklaces around
(10/18 21:28:35) Yatgirl: lol
(10/18 21:28:38) Rex Havoc: lol
(10/18 21:28:41) Whilyam: PM them or e-mail them to come to the cavern and talk out your differences. At least try.
(10/18 21:28:43) Rhee: Loooooove one anooooother
(10/18 21:28:57) Whilyam: Even if it fails, you can say you've done all you can.
(10/18 21:28:58) Yatgirl: Whyliam it is better to be quiet and walk the other way
(10/18 21:28:59) Dreamer: good night everyone, off to Dream for me
(10/18 21:29:02) ghaelen: I disagree, Whilyam
(10/18 21:29:03) oldmanjob tales tomato out of bag
(10/18 21:29:09) vid: In the end, everyone here has at least one shared love to build off of... D'NI!
(10/18 21:29:13) ghaelen: lol, kidding
(10/18 21:29:16) Toz: yeah
(10/18 21:29:24) Dreamer links safely back to Dream
(10/18 21:29:26) ghaelen claps her hands
(10/18 21:29:27) Rex Havoc: I think being accessable via the cavern, e-mail or forum PM is important
(10/18 21:29:31) Toz: It's better to talk to one's facw
(10/18 21:29:34) Toz: Face
(10/18 21:29:42) Whilyam: Argueing on the forums does nothing but make things worse. It's an area where it's hard to judge emotion
(10/18 21:29:45) ghaelen: oh, not because Dream left
(10/18 21:29:59) Rex Havoc: Yes, it turns into a flame pit
(10/18 21:30:03) Yatgirl: it is no different in game
(10/18 21:30:13) ghaelen: face to face
(10/18 21:30:17) vid: Face to face is best, but PMs and forums and stuff are more accessible... but best of all is to be open to all forms of communication
(10/18 21:30:20) Rex Havoc: avie to avie
(10/18 21:30:23) Yatgirl: if someone is histerical face doesn't matter
(10/18 21:30:29) Katva: Virtual face at least
(10/18 21:30:41) Whilyam: Then that is that, Yatgirl.
(10/18 21:30:47) Whilyam: Still you tried.
(10/18 21:30:58) Rex Havoc: You can't change who people are here any more thatn in RL
(10/18 21:31:02) Yatgirl: that is all one can do
(10/18 21:31:03) ghaelen: yes, sometimes it is best to stay calm no matter what, even when it's really hard
(10/18 21:31:21) Rex Havoc: Biting you r tounge here, though, is less painful;
(10/18 21:31:27) Whilyam: Eeek... I'm sorry. I just grabbed the wheel of this thing and flew it over a ditch didn't I...
(10/18 21:31:37) Whilyam: Any questions?
(10/18 21:31:38) oldmanjob: Guido has changed a few down here lol!
(10/18 21:31:45) Yatgirl: easier to walk away....it would be nice to slap someone but how can you in a game? LOL
(10/18 21:31:52) vid: No. Next person! Oh, wait, I'm not Dr Kodama... >_>
(10/18 21:31:58) Rhee: i think the best way to solve that sort of situation is to be so stinkin nice that they can't help but love you!!
(10/18 21:32:05) Yatgirl: lol
(10/18 21:32:08) Whilyam: No, vid... you're the non-british Laxman... :P
(10/18 21:32:10) ghaelen: lol
(10/18 21:32:13) Rhee: carring a puppy always helps too
(10/18 21:32:24) Rex Havoc starts to laugh
(10/18 21:32:26) vid: I'm the stuttering stammering Laxman :)
(10/18 21:32:30) vid: oooh puppy!!
(10/18 21:32:31) oldmanjob: or a box f Moon Pies!
(10/18 21:32:33) Whilyam: Speak quietly and carry a big stick.
(10/18 21:32:34) ghaelen starts to sing "All we need is Love"
(10/18 21:32:37) Rhee: hehe
(10/18 21:32:41) Rhee: oh dear
(10/18 21:32:43) Katva: Softly
(10/18 21:32:46) ghaelen: ooooh Whilyam.....
(10/18 21:32:48) vid: Vote for vid - You can pet the puppies (not, not related to vid in anyway!)
(10/18 21:32:48) Yatgirl: some people put themselves in charge of many things, activities etc then go meglomaniac
(10/18 21:32:53) Whilyam: Softly, whoops.
(10/18 21:32:58) Rex Havoc ums, "We are Family"
(10/18 21:33:00) Katva: teddy quote
(10/18 21:33:01) Rhee watches the train wander further from the track
(10/18 21:33:13) ghaelen: put down the stick, then you won't need it
(10/18 21:33:15) Rex Havoc: I hope I'm not in that catagory!
(10/18 21:33:17) Katva marks Whil's exam paper
(10/18 21:33:23) ghaelen starts to laugh
(10/18 21:33:30) Yatgirl: that is why I'm wary of the whole organized *thing*
(10/18 21:33:32) Whilyam: Speak softly and carry a big shroomie.
(10/18 21:33:42) Whilyam: Organized thing, Yat?
(10/18 21:33:43) Yatgirl: lol @ Whyl
(10/18 21:33:44) Rex Havoc: You have to trust who you elect
(10/18 21:33:45) Katva adds ten points
(10/18 21:33:52) Yatgirl: scroll up LOL
(10/18 21:33:53) ghaelen: yeah, I think the last election did turn some people off, unfortunately
(10/18 21:33:56) mikeplay3: bye toz
(10/18 21:34:02) Whilyam: Ah okay
(10/18 21:34:08) Rex Havoc: Yes, it did
(10/18 21:34:13) Katva: the last election was soo convoluted!
(10/18 21:34:20) ghaelen laughs at Whilyam
(10/18 21:34:27) Whilyam: One thing, though. Rushing through this has alienated a few people. Some I'm sure had valid concerns.
(10/18 21:34:31) From Yatgirl: then how can you argue with someone who is the Helper and In Charge?
(10/18 21:34:36) Rhee: i think i'm very lucky to have not been around at that point!
(10/18 21:34:36) Katva: ty candidates for talking to us here
(10/18 21:34:37) Rex Havoc: I'm glad this has remained more sain (sp?)
(10/18 21:34:38) vid: it did... the last election had a lot of trouble
(10/18 21:34:39) From Yatgirl: I'm saying this because it happened to me
(10/18 21:34:50) Rhee: (sane, Rex)
(10/18 21:34:53) vid: but in the end, we pulled through, healed, and moved on
(10/18 21:34:55) Rex Havoc thanks you
(10/18 21:34:59) ghaelen: oh, I think so, Rex
(10/18 21:34:59) Katva claps her hands
(10/18 21:35:03) Yatgirl: that's where I was going with this
(10/18 21:35:11) Rex Havoc: If elected, I will install Spell Check in the Cavern!
(10/18 21:35:15) Rhee: lol
(10/18 21:35:16) mikeplay3 claps his hands
(10/18 21:35:17) Rex Havoc: sorry...
(10/18 21:35:20) Yatgirl: My friend Toria got messed up with the election stuff from last time
(10/18 21:35:20) vid starts to laugh
(10/18 21:35:21) ghaelen: we always do seem to do that, don't we?
(10/18 21:35:35) ghaelen: heal and move on, that is
(10/18 21:35:41) Yatgirl: lol she was disinfranchised
(10/18 21:35:44) Rex Havoc: You have to move on
(10/18 21:35:47) Rex Havoc: or stagnate
(10/18 21:35:48) vid: I felt really bad... I know Toria and Ruby both got a lot of flak because of it...
(10/18 21:36:00) Whilyam: I hope that once Live starts we can get some decent moderating in here to clean up problems.
(10/18 21:36:07) Yatgirl: Toria is very sweet and very French Canadian
(10/18 21:36:12) oldmanjob wonders if Rex gets elected if everyone will have a free 10 day trial of 56k
(10/18 21:36:17) ghaelen: poor Ruby.....
(10/18 21:36:18) Yatgirl: and very much a buddy of mine from Live
(10/18 21:36:35) ghaelen: yes, Yatgirl, I felt bad for her, too
(10/18 21:36:39) Rex Havoc: Yes, I think the moderating will be VERY important with the Game Tap community hitting us too
(10/18 21:36:39) Rhee: yes, i have heard far to many horror stories about newcomers being shouted at and mistreated simply because they're new... things like this have to stop
(10/18 21:36:42) ghaelen: she's such a nice person
(10/18 21:36:44) K'laamas: I'm off
(10/18 21:36:45) K'laamas waves
(10/18 21:36:54) vid: take care, K'l!
(10/18 21:36:54) Rex Havoc waves
(10/18 21:36:55) Yatgirl: see yuz Dood :)
(10/18 21:36:56) Whilyam: Ruby.. I'm still not pleased that she chose to waste her time and everyone elses by breaking the polls, but I know that she was right.
(10/18 21:36:56) K'laamas (I'm on the surface, be back in a minute):
(10/18 21:37:11) mikeplay3: bye
(10/18 21:37:18) Whilyam: Still I think it could've been solvedbetter by pointing that out.
(10/18 21:37:33) Yatgirl: Harder Heads Prevail LOL
(10/18 21:37:35) ghaelen: awwww
(10/18 21:37:37) Whilyam: And her tone in her posts I think begged for much of the reaction she got.
(10/18 21:37:43) Katva is happy she has stayed out of controversy...or even was aware there was any
(10/18 21:37:49) Whilyam starts to laugh
(10/18 21:37:52) Yatgirl: LOL yeah
(10/18 21:37:58) vid: She got removed from the DRC forums for it... shame... but it was just a difference of opinion
(10/18 21:38:09) Whilyam: She left from what I was told.
(10/18 21:38:12) Yatgirl: I like the Gesthapo BS
(10/18 21:38:15) ghaelen: she did?
(10/18 21:38:19) Katva: thank you again...and G'nite all!
(10/18 21:38:24) Rex Havoc: Night
(10/18 21:38:25) Katva waves
(10/18 21:38:26) Rhee: thanks for coming, Katva!
(10/18 21:38:28) Whilyam: I was told she left for good, but she came back.
(10/18 21:38:28) ghaelen: bye Katva
(10/18 21:38:29) Yatgirl: aww you goin?
(10/18 21:38:31) Rex Havoc waves
(10/18 21:38:33) Whilyam: Night
(10/18 21:38:38) vid: I talked with her about it at Mysterium... that was the feeling I got... maybe I misunderstood
(10/18 21:38:41) Katva mutters "Vote early vote often"
(10/18 21:38:47) ghaelen: no Whilyam, you are misinformed
(10/18 21:38:50) Yatgirl: lol see ya Katva
(10/18 21:38:58) Whilyam: I figured when I saw her back.
(10/18 21:39:06) ghaelen: but I think that should be a different discussion
(10/18 21:39:13) Rhee: yes, indeed
(10/18 21:39:18) Rhee: gossip does not become us
(10/18 21:39:18) ghaelen: and not here and now
(10/18 21:39:23) Whilyam: Eh.. I have no idea. Nor do I really care.
(10/18 21:39:24) Rex Havoc: yes, we wander
(10/18 21:39:38) Rex Havoc: But gossips happens a lot!
(10/18 21:39:39) ghaelen: course, we are explorers....
(10/18 21:39:40) Rhee: any other questions?
(10/18 21:39:53) Whilyam: So long as we can come together to support Live, it's fine.
(10/18 21:39:55) Yatgirl: I do but I'm going to read the website
(10/18 21:40:06) Whilyam: Yes. Questions! Next?
(10/18 21:40:06) Rex Havoc: Ack, I'm going to have to check photos and get a face!! LOL
(10/18 21:40:21) ghaelen: yes, will we get real food on the table on the Tokotah Roof?
(10/18 21:40:21) Rex Havoc: Raise your hands!
(10/18 21:40:28) Rhee: rofl
(10/18 21:40:36) Rex Havoc: What do you call that lunch bag?
(10/18 21:40:45) Yatgirl: My Wife? LOL
(10/18 21:40:47) Whilyam: I doubt it. The DRC don't have the time to get food down here for us. You will have to bring it down yourself.
(10/18 21:41:02) Whilyam: :P
(10/18 21:41:04) ghaelen: Vinnie and essjay do a marvelous job, but Roof goers are a hungry bunch!
(10/18 21:41:09) Rex Havoc: That is why I like these cargo pants
(10/18 21:41:18) Rex Havoc: :)
(10/18 21:41:19) oldmanjob: That is what we have Vinnie for onthe Roof!
(10/18 21:41:31) Whilyam: perhaps drop food from those pellet holes in the roof? XD
(10/18 21:41:41) oldmanjob: he takes care of hte food now!
(10/18 21:41:42) Whilyam: "It's raining turkey!"
(10/18 21:41:42) ghaelen: maybe a refrigerator
(10/18 21:41:43) vid: Any more questions?
(10/18 21:41:46) Rhee: oooooh dear
(10/18 21:41:47) Yatgirl: well it's been fun ya'll...I'm off to aggravate my friends!
(10/18 21:41:48) Rex Havoc: lol
(10/18 21:41:53) Rex Havoc: Turkey bombs
(10/18 21:41:53) Whilyam: Shorah

(10/18 21:42:17) Yatgirl thanks you very much!
(10/18 21:42:22) Rex Havoc: I think we have done most of the damage we can do!
(10/18 21:42:32) vid: Did we make things better or worse?!
(10/18 21:42:38) vid starts to laugh
(10/18 21:42:42) ghaelen: yes, thank you all for your informative discussion
(10/18 21:42:44) oldmanjob claps his hands
(10/18 21:42:45) peni waves
(10/18 21:42:47) Yatgirl: Hey Peni
(10/18 21:42:51) peni: hiya
(10/18 21:42:53) Rex Havoc: Better, I think (hope!)
(10/18 21:42:58) Whilyam: Make sure to spread the news about the election.

(10/18 21:43:46) vid: voting starts saturday and runs for one week... be ready!
(10/18 21:43:52) Rhee: HAHA
(10/18 21:43:54) Whilyam: A lot of the old prologue groups have their leaders and members in the election, choose wisely and choose who you think will do the best job.
(10/18 21:44:13) Rhee: no, its "N O T R E X"
(10/18 21:44:20) vid: Hey, CK!
(10/18 21:44:22) Rhee: ;)
