Well, the meeting this morning went well. It was more of a "get to know each other" type meeting and figure out what times would work best for future meetings. We were each asked to say a little about ourselves and why we thought we were elected. We discussed plans for Town Hall meetings where the explorers can ask questions and (hopefully) get answers. These would be themed in that certain topics would be discussed only, to help keep the meeting more organized. Most things are still in the planning stages though, and we will keep you appraised of how things are progressing and also make announcements as we get the.
Here is a teaser to whet your appetites though. Welcome to Eder Delin ....

Here you all go ... the long awaited chat log. Sorry for the delay, but needed to edit out PM's and way too many smilies. Enjoy! :D

(04/15 08:46:14) Tweek: its like a weird combination of Kemo, Gira and Kadish Tolesa
(04/15 08:46:18) Gadren nods his head
(04/15 08:46:25) Marie Sutherland: One of the places we're working on.

(04/15 08:48:00) Tweek: oh yeah
(04/15 08:48:12) CAGrayWolf: Could this be Beyond Gira?
(04/15 08:48:38) Marie Sutherland: No, it is not "beyond gira"
(04/15 08:48:53) Gadren: OK, Eleri just told me she's on her way
(04/15 08:48:57) Marie Sutherland: Many of the rest Ages have similar features.

(04/15 08:49:33) Tweek: have always wondered what that plinth thing is...looks like its been
broken in Kemo.
(04/15 08:49:55) Marie Sutherland: I'm not sure what it is, to be honest.
(04/15 08:50:09) Tweek: nice to see the DRC back, even if I didn't always agree on what went on <.<

(04/15 09:01:31) Tweek: no prob
(04/15 09:01:37) Michael Engberg: How is everyone doing today?

(04/15 09:01:55) CAGrayWolf: Still waking up here, but doing well.
(04/15 09:02:01) Gadren starts to laugh
(04/15 09:02:18) Eleri: I'm good, nice break from the noise on the surface
(04/15 09:02:29) Victor Laxman: it's always quieter in the cavern
(04/15 09:02:34) CAGrayWolf: Did anyone bring the donuts?
(04/15 09:02:35) Victor Laxman: i find
(04/15 09:02:39) Michael Engberg: Oh Marie I see you put an image on the imager...

(04/15 09:03:30) Victor Laxman: we're waiting just a bit more for vort
(04/15 09:03:37) Victor Laxman: one last thing to try
(04/15 09:03:57) Eleri: *nod*
(04/15 09:04:31) Victor Laxman: imager has an age that Marie's been "working on"
(04/15 09:04:44) Victor Laxman: very small place - but beautiful

(04/15 09:04:51) CAGrayWolf: WOW! Very cool!
(04/15 09:04:51) Eleri: I's lovely. Looks like a great place for a picnic
(04/15 09:04:53) Tweek: nifty
(04/15 09:05:15) Eleri: Do you know the name?
(04/15 09:05:43) Victor Laxman: no - Marie might (but she is distracted right now)
(04/15 09:05:47) Victor Laxman:
(04/15 09:06:42) Dr. Kodama: I don't want to rush things but I will need to leave at 10:30.
(04/15 09:06:58) Tweek: least my new KI is working better than the old one.
(04/15 09:07:22) Victor Laxman: okay - almost ready
(04/15 09:07:44) Dr. Kodama: Why do each of you think you won the election?
(04/15 09:07:57) Michael Engberg: good to hear Tweek.. Well we could start.. why don't you all tell us just a few sentences about yourself??
(04/15 09:08:18) Gadren: Who should go first?
(04/15 09:08:19) CAGrayWolf: For me, I was actually surprised I won.
(04/15 09:08:25) Tweek: I won the election by bribing everyone with donuts..
(04/15 09:08:30) Gadren starts to laugh
(04/15 09:08:40) Victor Laxman: nicely done
(04/15 09:08:41) CAGrayWolf starts to laugh
(04/15 09:08:44) Michael Engberg: Garden lets start with you..
(04/15 09:08:46) Eleri: Luck, and good PR?
(04/15 09:08:55) CAGrayWolf starts to laugh
(04/15 09:08:55) Eleri: fire away, Gad
(04/15 09:09:13) Tweek: I dunno why I won, guess people like me, I'm usually busy in the community doing this and that and have done this kind of "job" before.
(04/15 09:09:17) Gadren: Oh, OK <smile> Well, I've been a part of the explorer community for a couple of years...
(04/15 09:09:26) Michael Engberg: oh and is anyone logging this?? Should it be logged?
(04/15 09:09:30) Gadren: I've done all sorts of different things and participated in a lot of projects
(04/15 09:09:34) Gadren: I'm logging this
(04/15 09:09:35) CAGrayWolf: I am
(04/15 09:09:37) Tweek: yes I am logging
(04/15 09:09:46) Victor Laxman: lot of lumberjacks
(04/15 09:09:48) Eleri: me four
(04/15 09:09:57) Eleri starts to laugh
(04/15 09:10:08) Gadren: As for why I think I won, I don't know...I guess part of it is that I'm somewhat well-known in the community and have done a fair amount for it in the past
(04/15 09:10:20) Michael Engberg: Very cool garden.. how about tweek next..
(04/15 09:10:32) Tweek: sorry for interuppting there gad.
(04/15 09:10:40) Dr. Kodama: I don't think his name is Garden, Michael.
(04/15 09:10:49) Gadren: <grin>
(04/15 09:10:56) Gadren: That's alright Tweek
(04/15 09:10:58) CAGrayWolf: Our own Garden Gadren
(04/15 09:10:59) Michael Engberg: opps!!!
(04/15 09:11:06) Gadren laughs
(04/15 09:11:06) CAGrayWolf starts to laugh
(04/15 09:11:20) Michael Engberg: Gadren... my eyes are tired this morning.. hehe
(04/15 09:11:34) Victor Laxman: seems like a fairly supportive group - kind of known for their support
(04/15 09:11:41) Gadren nods his head
(04/15 09:12:02) Tweek: Well, been in the community for a long time, worked on a lot of projects, most people seem to know me kind of guess that helped people have confidence me, luck goes a long way mind you ^_^
(04/15 09:13:20) Dr. Kodama: And GrayWolf...
(04/15 09:13:20) Michael Engberg: Who wants to go next?
(04/15 09:14:16) Eleri: go for it, Gray
(04/15 09:14:18) Victor Laxman: starting in two minutes - probably without vort - you all can fill him in if you don't mind
(04/15 09:14:26) Gadren nods his head
(04/15 09:14:45) CAGrayWolf: Well I have been here in the Cavren for almost 3 years now. I have been a supporter of many projects and have helped many an explorer. I have been active with the GoG as well. As I said, I'm still surprised I was elected ... though also grateful as well.
(04/15 09:15:18) Victor Laxman: were you all surprised you were elected - did anyone expect it?
(04/15 09:15:43) Tweek: half and half for me to be honest
(04/15 09:16:00) Michael Engberg: Very nice.. Eleri why don't you tell us a little about yourself before we start.
(04/15 09:16:01) Gadren: Me too; to tell the truth, I was thinking my election was somewhat probable
(04/15 09:16:02) Victor Laxman: good - just wondering
(04/15 09:16:10) Eleri: It was a good list of people, I figured I could be anywhere
(04/15 09:16:42) Eleri: Well, Same ans everyone else, really. I've been around the community, and done stuff to move it along.
(04/15 09:17:07) Eleri: I'm entirely too full of ideas
(04/15 09:17:39) Michael Engberg: Awesome.. Well, welcome everyone.. its a treat to be working with you..
(04/15 09:17:52) CAGrayWolf: Feeling is likewise.
(04/15 09:17:57) Gadren nods his head
(04/15 09:18:00) Eleri: It's good to see all of you down here again
(04/15 09:18:03) Tweek: agreed
(04/15 09:18:25) Victor Laxman: okay - let's just start in (I suppose we already have)
(04/15 09:18:48) Victor Laxman: this will be our gathering place (Uruto) for all future meetings
(04/15 09:19:18) Victor Laxman: and we'll shape the duties as we go - not sure what all you'll be able to handle
(04/15 09:19:50) Victor Laxman: we have some ideas for starting out that we can discuss in a moment
(04/15 09:20:17) Tweek: ok
(04/15 09:22:46) Tweek: apparently Vortmax is down here with another KI#
(04/15 09:25:31) Victor Laxman: we'll discuss it before Dr. K has to leave
(04/15 09:25:52) Gadren: Just FYI: Tweek told me vortmax's new KI#: 1783644
(04/15 09:26:19) Gadren: Sure, sounds good
(04/15 09:26:29) Eleri: Sounds good to me.
(04/15 09:26:51) Victor Laxman: quickly then - the first thing we thought would be good is a series of "Town Hall" meetings...
(04/15 09:27:05) CAGrayWolf: Shorah Wheely
(04/15 09:27:21) Eleri: Shorah, Wheely
(04/15 09:27:26) Wheely: Sorry. Dad could I talk to you a sec? Just us.
(04/15 09:27:27) Tweek: howdy
(04/15 09:27:38) Michael Engberg: Okay.. follow me...
(04/15 09:27:53) Victor Laxman: since the DRC (or exDRC) members have been kind of quiet - we thought it might be good for them to...
(04/15 09:28:11) Victor Laxman: make themselves a little more available for questions...
(04/15 09:28:18) Victor Laxman: in a more formal way
(04/15 09:28:18) Eleri: I like that idea
(04/15 09:28:21) Gadren: Shorah Vortmax!
(04/15 09:28:31) Vortmax2 waves
(04/15 09:28:37) CAGrayWolf: {{{{{ Vort }}}}}
(04/15 09:28:40) Gadren nods his head
(04/15 09:28:45) Victor Laxman: But it'll take some organization - and that's where we thought you might have some ideas
(04/15 09:28:49) Vortmax2: Finally! Glad I could make it! And thank you Marie
(04/15 09:28:51) Eleri: would it be an open question forum, or would you want a list of questions ahead of time?
(04/15 09:29:12) Victor Laxman: "open" would be fine - but we might not have all the answers
(04/15 09:30:12) Victor Laxman: anyway...
(04/15 09:30:13) Marie Sutherland: glad you could make it, vortmax
(04/15 09:30:21) Michael Engberg waves
(04/15 09:30:23) Wheely: Bye dad! Bye everyone.
(04/15 09:30:27) Gadren: Bye Wheely!
(04/15 09:30:30) Tweek: cya Wheely
(04/15 09:30:31) CAGrayWolf waves
(04/15 09:30:32) Victor Laxman: hello Vortmax - welcome - sorry we had to start without you
(04/15 09:30:36) Eleri: bye!
(04/15 09:30:40) CAGrayWolf: Bye Wheely
(04/15 09:30:41) Marie Sutherland: Bye, Wheely
(04/15 09:31:06) Vortmax2: Understandable, Dr. Laxman. I'm sure the others can catch me up later.
(04/15 09:31:07) Victor Laxman: on the TH idea...
(04/15 09:31:14) Eleri: Maybe once a month, one DRC member, and one Liason could hold an open forum in one of the hoods?
(04/15 09:31:18) Victor Laxman: (to continue)...
(04/15 09:31:30) Dr. Kodama: Well, as I said, I, unfortunately, have to be leaving. I'm sure someone will catch me up later. Congratulations to you all again.
(04/15 09:31:37) Victor Laxman: we might want to start with a series of them...
(04/15 09:31:37) Gadren waves
(04/15 09:31:40) Dr. Kodama: I look forward to seeing things happen.
(04/15 09:31:44) Gadren nods his head
(04/15 09:31:47) Michael Engberg: Once a week.. I am thinking..
(04/15 09:31:48) Victor Laxman: to address a lot of questions...
(04/15 09:31:49) Tweek: bye Dr. Kodama
(04/15 09:31:56) CAGrayWolf: Bye Dr kodama
(04/15 09:32:07) Marie Sutherland: Bye
(04/15 09:32:12) Eleri: bye Dr Kodama
(04/15 09:32:36) Vortmax2: Goodbye Dr. Kodoma
(04/15 09:32:36) Eleri: sorted by topic? To keep them from wandering all over?
(04/15 09:32:57) Victor Laxman: it also might be good to keep numbers small go to several hoods
(04/15 09:33:28) Victor Laxman: the person doing the TH could go to whichever hoods would like to host him
(04/15 09:33:30) Michael Engberg: Yes, I think the meeting should have a main topic.
(04/15 09:33:30) CAGrayWolf: Yes good idea. Prevent linking issues as we can.
(04/15 09:33:40) Victor Laxman: or her - which would allow smaller numbers
(04/15 09:33:59) Eleri: *nodnod*
(04/15 09:34:10) Victor Laxman: we also had a question for you all...
(04/15 09:34:37) Victor Laxman: there are certain "Cyan" employees who seem to be looked on as...
(04/15 09:35:02) Victor Laxman: contributers to the restoration. Would it be good to include them as well - as part...
(04/15 09:35:17) Victor Laxman: of the people who could be available for TH
appearences?
(04/15 09:35:26) Gadren: I don't have a problem with it
(04/15 09:35:40) Tweek: nor me
(04/15 09:35:41) Vortmax2: That would probably be a good idea.
(04/15 09:35:48) Eleri: I think that would be good
(04/15 09:35:49) CAGrayWolf: I don't have a problem with this either.
(04/15 09:35:54) From Vortmax2: TH == Town Hall?
(04/15 09:36:03) To Vortmax2: Yes
(04/15 09:36:08) Victor Laxman: There sessions might focus on different questions - as you might guess.
(04/15 09:36:15) Eleri: People know that you brought Rand and others here before.
(04/15 09:36:41) Victor Laxman: We don't need an answer now - just something for you to think about
(04/15 09:36:48) CAGrayWolf: and we speak with Moke and GD quite often already.
(04/15 09:37:02) Eleri: when would you want to have the first Town Hall?
(04/15 09:37:06) Victor Laxman: you all should feel free to use this Hood as a place to meet yourselves
(04/15 09:37:10) Victor Laxman: by the way
(04/15 09:37:18) Tweek: thanks ^_^
(04/15 09:37:23) CAGrayWolf: oh cool ... thank you
(04/15 09:37:26) Gadren: Thanks <smile>
(04/15 09:37:26) Vortmax2 thanks you very much!
(04/15 09:37:29) Eleri: thank you
(04/15 09:37:30) Victor Laxman: first town hall should be fairly soon i think
(04/15 09:38:06) Eleri: do you want us to cat herd the organizing, based on your schedules?
(04/15 09:38:34) Tweek: well I am pretty much good for most times, though my body operates on GMT time so if its too late I could be napping somewhere.
(04/15 09:38:39) Victor Laxman: hmmm - it'll have to be a balance of our schedule and whatever time you think is best
(04/15 09:38:49) Marie Sutherland: Just as long as, That's another good thing to settle while we're here.
(04/15 09:39:14) Victor Laxman: but it would be a good sign for everyone to have it sooner - to show that you all are proactive...
(04/15 09:39:31) Michael Engberg: Let us not forget our internation explorers...
(04/15 09:39:35) Victor Laxman: and the positions (and elections) atually proved to be helpful
(04/15 09:39:38) Gadren nods his head
(04/15 09:39:40) CAGrayWolf: This time and day seems to work well.
(04/15 09:39:50) Eleri: *nod* My thought would be for you to give us the times you're available, and we'll get the meetings scheduled.
(04/15 09:40:32) Victor Laxman: we might want to let you ask around - and try different times - even for the same TH rep
(04/15 09:40:38) Victor Laxman: to include more people
(04/15 09:40:44) Eleri: a list of suggested topics, would be helpful, too. Maybe even what's off limits to talk about
(04/15 09:40:46) Marie Sutherland: Saturday's aren't good for me. I made an exception this morning, but wouldn't want it to be a habit
(04/15 09:40:53) Victor Laxman: several times during a day a rep could be available
(04/15 09:42:16) Victor Laxman: we can choose an entire day for a TH event
(04/15 09:42:44) Vortmax2: Spread out several meetings over a day, covering various topics?
(04/15 09:42:46) Victor Laxman: and make the rounds through whatever hoods want to be involved
(04/15 09:43:03) Eleri: I like that
(04/15 09:43:10) CAGrayWolf: Agreed
(04/15 09:43:26) Tweek: see the DLA site would have been perfect for this...mind you we do that the Planner site that lists events going on down in the cavern...
(04/15 09:43:38) Victor Laxman: we'll we are happy to let you decide who you think should start off the TH events and when to start
(04/15 09:44:04) Eleri: What you guys have been up to, will be one of the biggest questions
(04/15 09:44:14) Victor Laxman: are you all comfortable doing that and letting us know
(04/15 09:44:15) Victor Laxman: ?
(04/15 09:44:30) Tweek: yep
(04/15 09:44:32) Eleri: I'm good
(04/15 09:44:33) CAGrayWolf: yes
(04/15 09:44:34) Gadren: <smile>
(04/15 09:44:40) Vortmax2: I think so <smile>
(04/15 09:44:49) Victor Laxman: yes - some of the questions will be hard to answer, but useful
(04/15 09:45:01) Michael Engberg: Remember to work with other people in the community to help you.. it will make it easier ..
(04/15 09:45:27) Marie Sutherland: I'll be the main point of contact
(04/15 09:45:29) Michael Engberg: sometimes.. <smile>
(04/15 09:45:47) Victor Laxman: we will assign Marie as the point-person to recieve KI-mail from you...
(04/15 09:45:52) Eleri: what's the easiest way to contact you, Marie?
(04/15 09:45:56) Victor Laxman: if that's alright with you Marie?
(04/15 09:45:56) Gadren: cool
(04/15 09:46:23) Marie Sutherland: Laxman, Kodama, and Engberg are notorious for not checking their PMs for days (weeks) at a time
(04/15 09:46:24) Victor Laxman: but you may also run into any of us in this hood
(04/15 09:46:47) Victor Laxman: we'll try to be better about it Marie
(04/15 09:46:51) Eleri: *chuckle*
(04/15 09:46:51) Marie Sutherland: PM-ing me on the DRC site forums is fine
(04/15 09:46:56) Michael Engberg: <smile>
(04/15 09:47:01) Vortmax2: <grin>
(04/15 09:47:10) CAGrayWolf: I have to ask ... since many are asking ... have you heard where Dr Watson is ... or at least how he is doing ... Is he well?
(04/15 09:47:21) Gadren: Good question
(04/15 09:47:26) Marie Sutherland: I check them daily, even if I don't always respond. <grin>
(04/15 09:47:32) Victor Laxman: we will also try to make it a point to check into Uruto whenever we're passing through the cavern
(04/15 09:48:18) Eleri: You're welcome into my hood any time, too.
(04/15 09:48:38) Victor Laxman: no comments on Dr. Watson - there are things that are best left unanswered at the moment...
(04/15 09:48:46) Gadren: aww
(04/15 09:48:53) CAGrayWolf: ok ... thank you.
(04/15 09:48:57) Victor Laxman: issues that are better addressed at a later time...
(04/15 09:49:10) Vortmax2: Somehow I suspected that <wink>
(04/15 09:49:15) CAGrayWolf starts to laugh
(04/15 09:49:19) Gadren: heehee
(04/15 09:49:20) Eleri: sounds like a whole lot has happened
(04/15 09:49:25) CAGrayWolf: Yea, same here.
(04/15 09:49:50) Marie Sutherland: I'm just waiting to see RAWA and Dr. Watson at the same place at the same time...
(04/15 09:49:53) Victor Laxman: when the explorers are less fragmented
(04/15 09:50:00) Gadren:
(04/15 09:50:07) Tweek: hehe
(04/15 09:50:21) Eleri: things would implode. Like some sort of Watsony vortex
(04/15 09:50:28) Vortmax2: On that note, it does seem that the fragmentation is healing again.
(04/15 09:50:37) Michael Engberg: Victor, who is planning the next meeting?
(04/15 09:50:42) Eleri: It comes and goes
(04/15 09:50:55) Victor Laxman: exactly - some answers would lead to chaos
(04/15 09:50:58) Vortmax2: (And it probably always will, Eleri)
(04/15 09:51:04) Tweek: yes, we'll see it again next time elections come around
(04/15 09:51:10) CAGrayWolf: ebbs and wanes like the tide / moon ... something like that
(04/15 09:51:17) Gadren: how poetic
(04/15 09:52:10) Victor Laxman: next meeting - is it useful to meet with everyone? or should not worry about meeting with smaller...
(04/15 09:52:18) Victor Laxman: groups of liasons?
(04/15 09:52:46) Eleri: we'll keep in touch pretty consistantly, so if some of us can't make it, no one will miss out
(04/15 09:52:48) Tweek: well I'd be surprised if we can get 100% attendence all the time,
(04/15 09:52:50) Gadren: smaller meetings wouldn't be too bad, since the missing liaisons can pass things on
(04/15 09:52:58) CAGrayWolf: My schedule is quite a bit more flexible.
(04/15 09:53:08) Victor Laxman: that might be easier - you all can certainly communicate amoung yourselves
(04/15 09:53:14) Gadren: wow -- that's fast
(04/15 09:53:24) Eleri: I'm almost always around, but can't always get here
(04/15 09:53:42) Vortmax2: And there can always be technical issues... <wink>
(04/15 09:53:49) Victor Laxman: <smile>
(04/15 09:53:51) Michael Engberg: <smile>
(04/15 09:53:58) Marie Sutherland: <grin>
(04/15 09:53:59) Eleri: *hands Vortmax duct tape and a hammer*
(04/15 09:54:02) Gadren: <smile>
(04/15 09:54:15) CAGrayWolf starts to laugh
(04/15 09:54:41) Victor Laxman: let's try another meeting during the week
(04/15 09:54:57) Gadren: OK...most evenings are good for me
(04/15 09:54:58) Michael Engberg: Ok
(04/15 09:55:08) Vortmax2: Same here. Afternoons and evenings are good.
(04/15 09:55:10) Victor Laxman: not everyone will make it - but we'll touch base and see how things are going
(04/15 09:55:19) Eleri: good plan
(04/15 09:55:23) Victor Laxman: evenings are better for everyone?
(04/15 09:55:27) Victor Laxman: generally?
(04/15 09:55:35) Eleri: *nod*
(04/15 09:55:45) Vortmax2 nods his head
(04/15 09:55:52) Tweek: depends what time zone you are going by
(04/15 09:56:00) Victor Laxman: any "time zone" issues we should know about?
(04/15 09:56:03) Vortmax2: (Probably US timezones)
(04/15 09:56:23) Tweek: evening in say central US is late night in the UK
(04/15 09:56:25) Eleri: I'm pacific time
(04/15 09:56:29) Gadren: Two questions (sorry to interrupt):Had we reached a consensus on releasing chat logs? and is that Age image on the imager allowed to be released to the explorers?
(04/15 09:56:34) Tweek: GMT here.
(04/15 09:56:34) Gadren: I'm central daylight time
(04/15 09:56:41) Victor Laxman: tweek is UK - evenings are rough
(04/15 09:57:08) Tweek: hmm mind you after next tuesday evenings should be ok
(04/15 09:57:13) Marie Sutherland: And don't trust time zone converters on the internet... (blush)
(04/15 09:57:15) Victor Laxman: might try afternoons - we'll try different things next week and see how it works
(04/15 09:57:19) Gadren starts to laugh
(04/15 09:57:23) Eleri: heh
(04/15 09:57:41) Vortmax2: This whole BST/GMT thing is getting me confused too...
(04/15 09:57:55) Victor Laxman: Gadren's questions - chat logs are up to you - but conservative is better to begin with
(04/15 09:57:58) Eleri: Yes, Marie, what age is that on the imager?
(04/15 09:58:33) Eleri: Good idea, Gadren <smile>
(04/15 09:58:34) Victor Laxman: and feel free to take images of the imager <smile>
(04/15 09:58:45) CAGrayWolf: I would like to ask one more question. Seems most have been upset with the term switching between "rep" and "liaison" Can we all agree on one term?
(04/15 09:58:50) Gadren: I've gotten images of just about everything and everyone
(04/15 09:59:02) Marie Sutherland: That is Eder Delin
(04/15 09:59:09) Vortmax2: Oooooooh...
(04/15 09:59:12) Gadren: Eder Delin...hmmm
(04/15 09:59:16) CAGrayWolf claps his hands
(04/15 09:59:24) Eleri: It's beautiful.
(04/15 09:59:24) Marie Sutherland: It's a fairly small Age. But a nice place to wind down.
(04/15 09:59:28) Gadren: I assume that's [d][eh][l][ih][n] in the D'ni letters, right?
(04/15 09:59:28) CAGrayWolf: Very interesting ......
(04/15 09:59:29) Vortmax2: Soooo... Any idea when we'll get to see it in person?
(04/15 09:59:48) Victor Laxman: Liason seems less inflamatory - but open to whatever you think
(04/15 10:00:00) Vortmax2: (I HAD to ask)
(04/15 10:00:04) Marie Sutherland: I believe so, Gadren, but I could be wrong.
(04/15 10:00:04) CAGrayWolf: Agreed on Liaison
(04/15 10:00:05) Gadren starts to laugh
(04/15 10:00:06) Tweek: well I don't really mind between rep and liaison to be honest...seeming we are kinda doing bother...reps are a pain because people will complain about their groups not being represented
(04/15 10:00:15) Eleri: I like liason
(04/15 10:00:22) Victor Laxman: right
(04/15 10:00:22) Gadren: So, Liaison it is?
(04/15 10:00:28) Tweek: ok with me
(04/15 10:00:29) Victor Laxman: for now
(04/15 10:00:31) Eleri: maybe we could ask RAWA for a good word
(04/15 10:00:37) CAGrayWolf starts to laugh
(04/15 10:00:40) Michael Engberg: People will be looking for the chat logs of this meeting today .. so the sooner you can release them .. the better
<smile>
(04/15 10:00:43) Tweek: dictators is a good word <.<
(04/15 10:00:53) Gadren: I've always wanted to call ourselves "Links", since we're links between the DRC and explorers
(04/15 10:01:00) Eleri: Underground Overlords! <wink>
(04/15 10:01:02) Vortmax2: I like Emperor, myself, Tweek. <smile>
(04/15 10:01:07) Victor Laxman: i like "masters of time, space, and dimension"
(04/15 10:01:13) Eleri: oooooooo
(04/15 10:01:14) Michael Engberg: bahro blood drinkers??
(04/15 10:01:17) CAGrayWolf: We should divide up the forums amungst us ... and then post. Sound like a plan?
(04/15 10:01:17) Vortmax2 laughs
(04/15 10:01:18) Victor Laxman: easier to spell then liansonsinon
(04/15 10:01:18) Eleri: eew!
(04/15 10:01:19) Gadren: bwahaha
(04/15 10:01:36) Vortmax2: Yeah, this Bahro blood sure is tasty!
(04/15 10:01:56) Michael Engberg: and it can make you fly... <smile>
(04/15 10:02:10) Victor Laxman: okay, well thanks again so much for your help...
(04/15 10:02:12) Gadren: Don't you know? Bahro Blood gives you wings!
(04/15 10:02:21) CAGrayWolf starts to laugh
(04/15 10:02:22) Marie Sutherland: The best way to fly is to throw yourself at the ground and miss.
(04/15 10:02:23) Vortmax2: (OOh, the DRC have a sense of humor! They'll never believe this one!)
(04/15 10:02:25) Victor Laxman: hopefully nothing but good will come from this new arrangement...
(04/15 10:02:31) Eleri starts to laugh
(04/15 10:02:39) Gadren:
(04/15 10:02:47) Victor Laxman: but we're open to any suggestions if the need arises
(04/15 10:02:54) Vortmax2: I've been trying that one for years, Marie. I'm never properly distracted.
(04/15 10:02:54) Eleri: Anything you want us to pass on directly, right now?
(04/15 10:03:34) Victor Laxman: Please thank everyone for bearing up under the pressures of the elections...
(04/15 10:03:38) Tweek: hmm wonder what Delin means in anything
(04/15 10:03:46) Tweek: will do
(04/15 10:04:03) Victor Laxman: we do know it was not always pleasant - and we have learned quite a bit as we move forward
(04/15 10:04:04) Michael Engberg: I would say let people know about the TH meetings - asap.. Even if you say more details are coming.
(04/15 10:04:14) Victor Laxman: yes - good mike
(04/15 10:04:18) Marie Sutherland: I would guess it's a safe bet that it does, Tweek.
(04/15 10:04:57) CAGrayWolf: Good plan.
(04/15 10:04:58) Vortmax2: I've got some images too, and I'll post them as well, if I can find a good place.
(04/15 10:05:07) Victor Laxman: let me end by saying that the DRC is not the same as it once was...
(04/15 10:05:41) Tweek: The fact that you have opted for liaisons shows that Victor
(04/15 10:05:45) Gadren nods his head
(04/15 10:05:45) Victor Laxman: without Dr. Watson we're simply a loosely organised group that is drawn to the cavern
(04/15 10:05:52) CAGrayWolf: Victor, this is quite obvious to those of us who have been around awhile ... and good to see I might add.
(04/15 10:05:53) Victor Laxman: much like all of you
(04/15 10:06:37) Gadren: ^_^
(04/15 10:06:40) Victor Laxman: it's a team effort at this point - thanks for being part of it
(04/15 10:06:41) CAGrayWolf: drawn = tugged = YANKED!
(04/15 10:06:51) Michael Engberg: <smile>
(04/15 10:07:00) Victor Laxman: okay photo op
(04/15 10:07:03) Eleri: We all want to be here, and do what we can
(04/15 10:07:04) Vortmax2 laughs
(04/15 10:07:08) Tweek: and because Wolfie is akward I have to set up specific permissons just for him >.<
(04/15 10:07:34) Victor Laxman: where is a good place for a group photo?
(04/15 10:07:38) Eleri: Marie, scooch over there by the guys
(04/15 10:07:43) Victor Laxman: balcony?
(04/15 10:07:57) Tweek: by the scope I would have thought
(04/15 10:07:57) Victor Laxman: we can all face the "camera"?
(04/15 10:08:04) Gadren: How about the community room?
(04/15 10:08:09) Gadren: Or the classroom?
(04/15 10:08:18) Gadren: Actually, the classroom would be better...closer up
(04/15 10:08:26) Victor Laxman: classroom - good
(04/15 10:08:30) Gadren: ^_^
(04/15 10:08:32) Victor Laxman: let's try it
(04/15 10:09:50) Gadren: Where's Eleri?
(04/15 10:09:51) Victor Laxman: very nice!
(04/15 10:10:10) Vortmax2: Eleri! Where'd you go?
(04/15 10:10:15) Gadren: Eleri! Up here!
(04/15 10:10:24) Gadren waves
(04/15 10:10:33) Vortmax2: Oh no! She's gone!
(04/15 10:10:38) Gadren:
(04/15 10:11:09) Gadren: Well, at least I got this pic
(04/15 10:11:19) Tweek: hmm well could always photoshop her in if you can extract the image to a computer ^_^
(04/15 10:11:25) Gadren starts to laugh
(04/15 10:11:57) Gadren: Oh well, maybe we can get a full one later (with Kodama too)?
(04/15 10:12:12) Vortmax2: Perhaps <smile>
(04/15 10:12:13) Tweek: ah yes, knew we were missing someone else too.
(04/15 10:12:52) Gadren: So...anything else for this meeting?
(04/15 10:12:59) Michael Engberg: awww!!!
(04/15 10:13:07) Vortmax2: Yeah! When do we get to see Kahlo? <grin>
(04/15 10:13:13) Gadren starts to laugh
(04/15 10:13:35) Tweek: lol
(04/15 10:13:35) Vortmax2: Thanks for the picture! Very nice <smile>
(04/15 10:13:35) Eleri: Well, that was unpleasant
(04/15 10:13:39) Victor Laxman: this meeting is over (by default) <smile>
(04/15 10:13:47) CAGrayWolf: WB Eleri
(04/15 10:13:48) Victor Laxman: El is back
(04/15 10:13:49) Vortmax2 laughs
(04/15 10:13:51) Gadren: Hi Eleri!
(04/15 10:13:54) Tweek: wb Eleri
(04/15 10:13:57) Gadren: We're in the classroom...c'mon in!
(04/15 10:14:40) Gadren: c'mon up here
(04/15 10:14:53) Victor Laxman: Eleri?
(04/15 10:15:07) CAGrayWolf: This we lost her agehn
(04/15 10:15:27) Vortmax2: I think she's here, but not on the Age Player list. It's a common KI bug.
(04/15 10:15:32) Gadren: Yay!
(04/15 10:15:36) Vortmax2: Yup, there she is!
(04/15 10:15:38) CAGrayWolf: True Vort
(04/15 10:15:50) Vortmax2: Heh, there's something maybe you guys could work on.
(04/15 10:16:02) Gadren: Got the pic
(04/15 10:16:45) Michael Engberg: see you all later
(04/15 10:16:46) Michael Engberg waves
(04/15 10:16:51) Vortmax2: So long!
(04/15 10:16:57) Gadren waves
(04/15 10:17:03) Marie Sutherland: Thank you all
(04/15 10:17:05) Michael Engberg: Have a wonderful day...
(04/15 10:17:13) Vortmax2: Thank you for doing this!
(04/15 10:17:19) Victor Laxman: bye everyone - thanks again!
(04/15 10:17:28) Tweek: byee
(04/15 10:17:34) Victor Laxman waves
(04/15 10:17:36) CAGrayWolf: Bye all ... and thank you.
(04/15 10:17:39) Tweek waves
(04/15 10:17:40) CAGrayWolf waves
(04/15 10:17:53) CAGrayWolf: oh ... duh!
(04/15 10:17:55) CAGrayWolf starts to laugh
(04/15 10:18:11) Tweek: you know Victor looks scarily similar to my uncle Alan
(04/15 10:18:16) Vortmax2 laughs
(04/15 10:18:49) Victor Laxman: no nexus this time - good thing we're all Yeesha enabled
(04/15 10:18:53) Marie Sutherland: We need maintenance to come check that door.
(04/15 10:19:04) Vortmax2: Oh no, your doors are broken?
(04/15 10:19:14) Tweek: ^_^ how did you guys find the journey?
(04/15 10:19:14) CAGrayWolf starts to laugh
(04/15 10:19:17) From Eleri in Eleri's Relto: I'll hop on the form soon. I'm being summoned to the surface
(04/15 10:19:27) CAGrayWolf: DRC ... Yeesha enabled?
(04/15 10:19:32) Marie Sutherland waves
(04/15 10:19:38) Vortmax2 waves
(04/15 10:19:39) Tweek waves
(04/15 10:19:52) Tweek: yep took the journey after the phil issue apparently
(04/15 10:20:01) CAGrayWolf: Cool
