This is a text dump of the database that contained the text of the official posts on the
DRCLiaisons website (formerly http://www.mystembassy.net/drcliaisons).
Due to problems with the database sw I have, a lot of the formatting – carriage returns,
etc, - were lost. I’ve reformatted the raw chat logs. For the others, yer on your own. Also
note that the non-English entries didn’t come across well. Hopefully those more
knowledgeable than I can take that text and do the appropriate search and replace on the

Future with Moke- Business: Question: Why don't you tell us a bit about yourself, and what you do at Cya
evening
falls asleep, just kick me and I'll move on. I have had several titles at Cyan, all of them
Project Manager, Development Director and Producer. Basically, I try to solve problem
course, I usually miss the clues and have to solve the problems after they've exploded.
So I guess I'm responsible for anything ugly. I've been in the game development indus

years ago. We came very close to signing with them then. But that didn't work out and
kept the Turner relationship going even through the Ubisoft years, because the people
out of options last summer, Turner stepped right in and worked out a way to keep us g

a way for interational users, and others without credit cards, to pay for Live? M: <i>W
but we will make sure everyone who want to join Uru Live will be able to, from where
card thing. I'll have to get back to you on that.</i> Q: What kind of marketing efforts w
not certain. We haven't talked with Turner about this specifically, yet, but they have a
hope we can take advantage of that somehow. Word of mouth will always play an imp
plans for publicity, both positive and negative? How shall you deal with bad reviews, f
about the navigation system. M: <i>We like to think of "negative reviews" as good fee
everything! When the feedback makes sense, we try to make adjustments using that in
negative. And at the same time, we can't change the world in one day. Sometimes we g
do anything about it. But please be patient with us. We want Uru Live to be as good as
part of that.</i>
Technical: Question: Will dial-up users be able to register for Uru Live? Moke: <i>We
up, but there's nothing to stop that from working if you have superhuman patience.</i>
thinking this far ahead, what will happen to the D'mala Shard after the opening of URU
like I told the morning group, Until Uru has had - and is still serving - an important pu

new Uru Live will not be compatible. I hope we can take the ambition and energy of U
and fan-created content for Uru Live.</i> Q: Will Live be set up so that it is always "p
private exploration as well (like with our current Relto library)? M: <i>That's one thin
explorer will be able to choose their level of interaction. They will still have their own
theirs alone. Invitations and sharing will still matter. And there will continue to be a m
Content: Q: Moke, is there any "new content or updates" going to make it to "Until Ur
"URULive" to appear? (And can I get a "Cone Shaped Hat"? Please!!!) M: <i>The con
I write that down....For Until Uru, we're grateful to have the community contributing f
minor fixes will be coming soon...Maybe next week, even. But I must tell you, at Cyan
we spend on Until Uru is a minute less toward the new Uru Live. Hopefully we'll all b

Myst V story into the new story being developed for Uru Live? Or will the Myst V hap

can be found right in the Neighborhoods. Also, we will set up the library to have the ep

Beta Testing: Q: Will the beta testers be exploring some of the new areas or just what w
guessing the Beta Testers will see a few new areas... But much of the new content is st

(05/11 08:10:46) Moke: Okey dokey.
(05/11 08:11:05) Moke: The first set of questions is all business.
(05/11 08:11:48) Moke: I'll try to answer what I can, and hope to be more forthcoming
few I won't know the answer to.
(05/11 08:12:00) From DRCLeri1: LOL
(05/11 08:12:40) Moke: Thanks for letting me know about the gag order, Shorahmin. I

(05/11 08:14:14) Moke: I suppose there is an answer to this, but I'm not able to figure
(05/11 08:15:33) Moke: Our support from Turner is more than financial. We have a gr
like this will probably change depending on the situation and success.
(05/11 08:16:17) Moke: Second part: Is it different if a player subscribes to live via Ga
(05/11 08:17:16) From DRCLeri1: We're at 20, I'm going to go close the 'hood
(05/11 08:17:29) Moke: Uru Live itself will be no different either way. Obviously, if y

(05/11 08:18:47) To Tiran: Checking
(05/11 08:18:56) Moke: Third part of the first question: What about those people who
pay the same amount for less content than you would with GameTap?
(05/11 08:19:08) To DRCLeri1: What is they have additional ??? to what Moke siad?
(05/11 08:19:16) Moke: As I said, the Uru Live content will be the same.
(05/11 08:20:00) From DRCLeri1: Gametap? They have TONS of games. The three or
games...
(05/11 08:20:09) Moke: As far as the GameTap bonus goes, why would anyone compl
want?
(05/11 08:20:34) Moke: Next question: When does Beta start?
(05/11 08:21:01) From Tiran: Waiting ;)
(05/11 08:21:08) To Tiran: Was your ??? a resonse or additional. If the latter we will o

(05/11 08:23:47) From DRCLeri1: no, but tell him we'll have open questions at the end
(05/11 08:23:58) Moke: We'll start with just a handful, around 50 explorers, for that fir
(05/11 08:24:03) From Tiran: q: How can I pay as a non us citizen? Are you planing p
credit card? A lot of ppl in europe don't possess credit cards

(05/11 08:27:57) zam: awwww
(05/11 08:28:02) Jane: *sigh*
(05/11 08:28:08) Tiran: ATM uru is the most cpu consuming chat software I possess :]
(05/11 08:28:16) Jane: after coming an hour & a half early to get in, lol!
(05/11 08:28:20) CAGrayWolf starts to laugh
(05/11 08:28:51) Jane: someone is logging the meeting, right?
(05/11 08:29:05) CAGrayWolf: I am logging

(05/11 08:29:57) DRCLeri1: Wolf is also starting a queue for open questions, pm him
(05/11 08:30:11) Tweek: that kind of defeats the point if we set it up in a IRC
(05/11 08:30:13) From Bunny: I already have 2 questions!
(05/11 08:30:18) CAGrayWolf: I'm assuming with UrU Live that this will be improved
(05/11 08:30:29) From Shorahmin: when will Until URU close?
(05/11 08:30:29) Jane: we hope! :)
(05/11 08:30:40) From Shorahmin: will it close?
(05/11 08:30:40) To Bunny: I've added you to the queue
(05/11 08:30:42) DRCLeri1: *nod* all of their lag-fixing energy is going to Live :)
(05/11 08:30:50) Moke: Wow, was that a hard crash!

(05/11 08:31:01) Tiran: Welcome back Moke
(05/11 08:31:13) To Shorahmin: Not sure, hasn't been announced yet.
(05/11 08:31:13) From Zymmin: I would like to ask about the new physics engine
(05/11 08:31:21) Moke: That's only happened to me twice in the last six months. Figur
(05/11 08:31:26) DRCLeri1: lol
(05/11 08:31:33) From Shorahmin: that was a question for the q
(05/11 08:31:35) Moke: Sorry about that, everyone.

(05/11 08:31:43) Moke: Now, where was I?
(05/11 08:31:53) DRCLeri1: Beta testing
(05/11 08:31:56) From Shorahmin: or are you the wrong wolf? lol

(05/11 08:32:34) To Shorahmin: Sorry,your are added to the queue
(05/11 08:33:10) DRCLeri1: you said you'd be starting with small groups?
(05/11 08:33:14) Moke: Well, when we can support the first small group of Beta Teste
open it up to a couple hundred and see how that goes.
(05/11 08:33:16) To DRCLeri1: 4 on the queue now
(05/11 08:33:25) From DRCLeri1: coolcool
(05/11 08:33:53) Moke: When we can support them, we will double it.
(05/11 08:34:34) Moke: That will keep happening until we've got several thousand exp
(05/11 08:35:25) Moke: When we've proven our expandable system works, Beta is eith
much we feel we need to further stress things.
(05/11 08:35:31) From Shorahmin: another q question, What will be the new age limit
(05/11 08:35:52) Moke: And it all needs to wrap up to be truly Live by the holidays.
(05/11 08:36:23) From DRCLeri1: Live for Christmas, yay!
(05/11 08:36:48) Moke: This will be a ton of work for Cyan, but we've been laying a g
negotiating for financing, and I trust things will go well.
(05/11 08:36:59) To DRCLeri1: *chases tail in excitement*
(05/11 08:37:19) Moke: The next question was: What can the fans do to help?
(05/11 08:37:41) Moke: Keep being involved and spreading the word!
(05/11 08:38:16) Moke: We really think Uru Live is something special, but the real tes
same thing.
(05/11 08:38:54) Moke: Find those people and invite them to be a part of this world.

second thoughts about Uru. So it's all up to us to make this work.
(05/11 08:44:26) To DRCLeri1: True, very true. and that would generate tons of intere
(05/11 08:45:12) From DRCLeri1: I think it's a brilliant partnership, myself.
(05/11 08:45:20) Moke: Next part of the question: How will GameTap and Cyan meas
budget, personnel, resources, etc?
(05/11 08:47:31) Moke: I think the key to measuring has to do with steady growth, as o
(05/11 08:47:56) Moke: (Sorry, my computer is getting chunky for some reason...)
(05/11 08:48:44) Moke: Next question: How stable is this new arrangement?

(05/11 08:51:28) Moke: Next question: When will we see Eder Delin?
(05/11 08:52:25) Moke: Eder Delin is a small garden Age that you will be able to relax
will get to see it sooner than that, of course....
(05/11 08:52:53) Moke: Next question: How often will there be updates?
(05/11 08:54:11) Moke: One of the amazing parts of the Uru Live design is that there a
necessarily, but stories will be driven on a daily basis.
(05/11 08:54:37) Moke: Any week could have new areas open up.
(05/11 08:55:59) To Tweek: Can you get some pics for the website?
(05/11 08:56:51) From Tweek: already have, will get one of moke at the end, thats abo

(05/11 09:02:33) Jane: that makes me feel a little better, lol
(05/11 09:02:33) Tiran: Yeah, IRC might be better ...
(05/11 09:02:49) Jane: (about my puter)

Rand: Hmmmmm - well, I've got tons of information to step around and lots of questio

Rand: I do a little of both. Yesterday for example I was in a voice recording session (n

notebooks in Reltos/Hoods?
Rand: For now the KI is what we have for journaling. Uru Live will have better workin

AllMyst: How many other projects besides Uru Live is Cyan currently working on? Ca
Rand: We have five other projects that are various stages - including the dormant stage
and top secret. :) (we'll be happy if even one of the projects sees the light of day - btw)
Ron: How do you feel about the huge out pouring of support after the inital attempt for
by so many to keep it alive??
Rand: Humbled and excited. We have the best fans in the world! Having so many peop
delays is so great - it's helped us keep going!
Lego Addict: How is the Age creation tool to be implemented? Will it be a plugin to a

improvements (specifically the mobile video cards) that make them a better experience

testing numbers for future scalability.

(05/11 22:10:05) Moke: If that's the question...
(05/11 22:10:31) Moke: We are counting on a couple things to help.
(05/11 22:11:24) Moke: Postings and a readerboard system are being worked on so tha
Neighborhoods.
(05/11 22:12:17) Moke: Also, we will set up the library to have the episodes ready to e
(05/11 22:13:11) Moke: One of the biggest helps will be you guys - the community. H
that friends will spread the story. Maybe even be part of the story.
(05/11 22:13:37) Moke: Next question, please...
(05/11 22:14:07) DRCLVortmax1: We're going to open the floor to questions now. If y

(05/11 22:15:06) DRCLeri1: (it helps if you have your question all typed in, and ready

important purpose for the community.
(05/11 22:17:36) Moke: When Uru Live is back and growing like a weed, I'm not sure
(05/11 22:18:08) Moke: And I can tell you that the code between Until Uru and the ne

created content for Uru Live.
(05/11 22:19:22) Moke: Sort of skirting around a couple issues there, Sowden, but doe
(05/11 22:19:41) Sowden: yeah, it does
(05/11 22:19:44) Sowden: thanks Moke!
(05/11 22:19:48) DRCLVortmax1: Anthony, you're up!
(05/11 22:19:51) Anthony: So if you can say how long were you talking to Turner for
(05/11 22:19:53) Moke: You are welcome!
(05/11 22:21:06) Moke: That depends on how you look at it, Anthony.
(05/11 22:21:39) Moke: We were talking to Turner before Ubisoft even entered the pic
(05/11 22:22:40) Moke: We came very close to signing with them then. But that didn't
Ubisoft.
(05/11 22:23:32) Moke: We have kept the Turner relationship going even through the
are so awesome.
(05/11 22:24:25) Moke: When Cyan ran out of options last summer, Turner stepped rig
going.
(05/11 22:25:04) Moke: They have understood the talent we have and the special place
(05/11 22:25:23) Moke: So we couldn't be more thrilled that we are partnering with the
(05/11 22:25:48) Moke: Next please...
(05/11 22:25:50) DRCLVortmax1: Slider, you had a question?
(05/11 22:25:53) Slider: Moke, is there any "new content or updates" going to make it
"beta Uru" and "URULive" to appear? (And can I get a "Cone Shaped Hat"? Please!!!)
(05/11 22:26:02) DRCLVortmax1 starts to laugh
(05/11 22:26:36) Moke: The cone-shaped hat is a great idea! Hang on while I write tha
(05/11 22:26:44) Anthony: lol
(05/11 22:26:44) Slider: sweet
(05/11 22:26:47) Slider: thanks
(05/11 22:26:54) DRCLeri1: lol
(05/11 22:26:58) DRCLVortmax1 laughs
(05/11 22:27:32) Moke: For Until Uru, we're grateful to have the community contribut
of minor fixes will be coming soon...
(05/11 22:27:40) Moke: Maybe next week, even.
(05/11 22:28:22) Moke: But I must tell you, at Cyan, our focus is on Uru Live. Every m
less toward the new Uru Live.
(05/11 22:28:51) Slider: makes sense
(05/11 22:29:25) Moke: Hopefully we'll all be able to keep enjoying what we can here
back in Uru Live.
(05/11 22:29:36) Moke: Thanks for the question and suggestion, Slider.
(05/11 22:29:42) DRCLVortmax1: Professor Askew, your turn!
(05/11 22:29:45) Professor Askew: If you've answered this question previously just pa
of the new areas or just what we know on new servers?
(05/11 22:30:19) Moke: I'm guessing the Beta Testers will see a few new areas...
(05/11 22:30:53) DRCLVortmax1: (Sorry for the interruption, but gene, you're on the

(05/11 22:31:37) Moke: Next question, please.
(05/11 22:31:45) DRCLVortmax1: A Cynic! Go for it!
(05/11 22:31:50) a cynic: What are Cyan's plans for publicity, both positive and negati
for example?
(05/11 22:32:12) Moke: "Bad review"? What's that?
(05/11 22:32:27) Error: (Can't find 'Reme' in any of the player lists.)
(05/11 22:32:36) a cynic: Like, someone complaining about the navigation system
(05/11 22:32:42) a cynic: just overall negative
(05/11 22:32:49) Moke: Ah...
(05/11 22:33:28) Moke: We like to think of "negative reviews" as good feedback.
(05/11 22:33:45) Moke: We listen to everything. I mean, everything!
(05/11 22:34:23) Moke: When the feedback makes sense, we try to make adjustments
(05/11 22:34:35) Moke: Some of the best feedback is negative.
(05/11 22:35:10) Moke: And at the same time, we can't change the world in one day.
(05/11 22:35:55) a cynic: makes sense to me
(05/11 22:36:00) Moke: Sometimes we get great feedback and it takes us months to do
with us. We want Uru Live to be as good as it can be.
(05/11 22:36:10) Moke: And your voices will be a big part of that.
(05/11 22:36:23) Moke: Good question, a cynic.
(05/11 22:36:29) DRCLVortmax1: Zymmin, your turn to talk to Moke!
(05/11 22:36:30) Moke: Next, please...
(05/11 22:37:04) DRCLVortmax1: Oops, I think he crashed... J'mee!
(05/11 22:37:10) J'mee: Glad to meet you, Moke. Does Cyan plan to integrate any of t
developed for Uru Live? Or will the Myst V happenings not fit well or at all?
(05/11 22:37:38) Moke: Nice to meet you, J'mee!
(05/11 22:38:17) Moke: The Myst V story will not be ignored, but it might not fit the w
say about that.
(05/11 22:38:52) Moke: Next?
(05/11 22:39:18) DRCLVortmax1: Let's go with Sorceress next!
(05/11 22:39:22) Sorceress: Could you further explain the "episode library" you menti
(05/11 22:39:43) Moke: A bewitching question, Sorceress...
(05/11 22:39:57) Sorceress: hee
(05/11 22:40:04) Moke: You've all been to the Library, yes?
(05/11 22:40:29) Sorceress: If you mean the one in Ae'gura, then yes.
(05/11 22:40:57) Moke: Yes, in the City.
(05/11 22:41:34) Moke: It will function like any Library... It will house books.
(05/11 22:42:09) Moke: We're really looking ahead here...
(05/11 22:42:39) Moke: For when new explorers come into Uru Live in two or three y
(05/11 22:43:47) Moke: The story may have moved on quite a bit, but they will be able
visiting the Library.
(05/11 22:44:35) Moke: I know that's kind of vague... Ryan or Rand Miller could expl
them about it the next time you see them.
(05/11 22:44:47) Moke: Next question, please
(05/11 22:44:54) Sorceress: Thanks Moke!
(05/11 22:45:06) DRCLVortmax1: I think we get the idea. smile.gif Eleri has a few qu
(05/11 22:45:14) Moke: Quite welcome, sorry my answer wasn't as good as the questio
(05/11 22:45:18) DRCLVortmax1: And one of her own
(05/11 22:45:26) Moke: I'm ready!
(05/11 22:45:36) DRCLeri1: What kind of marketing efforts will we see?
(05/11 22:46:04) Moke: Great question, and I'm not certain.
(05/11 22:47:08) Moke: We haven't talked with Turner about this specifically, yet, but
(05/11 22:47:26) Moke: I certainly hope we can take advantage of that somehow.
(05/11 22:47:49) Moke: Word of mouth will always play an important part, as well.
(05/11 22:48:03) Moke: Next question, please....
(05/11 22:48:06) DRCLeri1: Which of the current Guilds will you be keeping, if any?
(05/11 22:49:44) Moke: I'm not sure we have the right to speak for any of the current G
of a guild - within reason - and we will help establish a few important Guilds, as well.
(05/11 22:50:42) Moke: So, I guess, all the current Guilds will continue in some form,
(05/11 22:50:55) Moke: Next question, please
(05/11 22:50:58) DRCLeri1: Will new explorers to Live start with the Cleft and the Jo
else?
(05/11 22:51:52) Moke: I can tell you that new explorers will not start out in the Cleft.
(05/11 22:52:04) DRCLVortmax1: *gasp*
(05/11 22:52:36) Moke: It will still be necessary to complete the journey, but accessibl
(05/11 22:52:59) Moke: The idea behind this, is...
(05/11 22:53:32) Moke: We wanted to get people to the heart of Uru more quickly. Th
(05/11 22:53:49) Moke: Next question, please.
(05/11 22:53:51) DRCLVortmax1: Der Rattenfanger, ask away!
(05/11 22:53:53) Der Rattenfanger: Will Live be set up so that it is always "public" or
exploration as well (like with our current Relto library)?
(05/11 22:55:10) Moke: That's one thing that won't change about Uru Live. Each explo
interaction.
(05/11 22:55:49) Moke: They will still have their own shelf of linking books that are th
(05/11 22:56:04) Moke: Invitations and sharing will still matter.
(05/11 22:56:42) Moke: And there will continue to be a mix of public and private area
(05/11 22:57:13) Moke: Does that answer your question, Der Rattenfanger?
(05/11 22:57:27) Der Rattenfanger: Yes! Thanks, Moke!
(05/11 22:57:27) Moke: Or did I miss the point?
(05/11 22:57:28) Moke: Great!
(05/11 22:57:34) DRCLVortmax1: Nancy, launch question!
(05/11 22:57:38) Nancy: how many people are you planning to allow on beta testing?
(05/11 23:00:36) DRCLVortmax1: Moke?
(05/11 23:00:51) Sorceress: Someone poke Moke.
(05/11 23:00:56) DRCLVortmax1: *pokes moke*
(05/11 23:00:59) DRCLeri1: We lost Moke, but I know the answer to that
(05/11 23:01:05) DRCLVortmax1: Don't panic! He'll be back
(05/11 23:01:08) DRCLeri1: Moke answered it this morning

that could cause disorientation and/or unconsciousness in a KI wearer in order to contr

(06/13 13:09:54) Eleri: and posting them as sidebars of the DRCL site
(06/13 13:10:07) Marie Sutherland: That would be nice, Eleri.
(06/13 13:10:49) Eleri: I think it would help to demystify (ahem) you guys a little

(06/13 13:14:12) Marie Sutherland: No, I'd rather it be rescheduled for a separate date.
(06/13 13:14:45) To Ivan in DRC (35) Neighborhood: Yes, will post chat log latter.
(06/13 13:15:02) Eleri: *nod* might be overwhelming to do both
(06/13 13:15:30) CAGrayWolf: Agreed
(06/13 13:15:41) Eleri: when would be good for you guys?
(06/13 13:18:04) Dr. Kodama: Is there any business we need to discuss here?
(06/13 13:18:30) Eleri: hmm, other than checking in, rescheduling that meeting... is the
doing?
(06/13 13:18:46) Eleri: now that someone opened the pursestrings?
(06/13 13:19:09) Dr. Kodama: Keep your fingers crossed.
(06/13 13:19:23) CAGrayWolf: How do you all feel we are doing with the TH meeting
(06/13 13:19:33) Marie Sutherland: let's tentatively set it for 6/20
(06/13 13:19:34) Dr. Kodama: And keep hope alive
(06/13 13:19:43) Michael Engberg: Great
(06/13 13:19:45) Vortmax: And, can we get a bit more detail on what you've been doin
(06/13 13:19:56) Tweek: any new KI images of places being planned on being released
(06/13 13:20:08) Dr. Kodama: Not that I'm aware of - not yet.
(06/13 13:20:11) Vortmax: Heh, now we're all flooding with questions...
(06/13 13:20:33) Dr. Kodama: New Ages are still in early stages - fairly dangerous
(06/13 13:21:06) Michael Engberg: We need to start small.. because we are small.
(06/13 13:21:09) CAGrayWolf: Cool ... still would be nice to have a small glimpse tho

(06/13 13:21:37) Michael Engberg: A glimpse of something new??
(06/13 13:21:45) Dr. Kodama: No, as Engberg just said, we are small...still...
(06/13 13:21:55) CAGrayWolf: or even current ... like a small teaser.

Ages ready.
(06/13 13:24:21) CAGrayWolf: Understood
(06/13 13:24:33) Eleri: Just knowing you guys are up to something is worth knowing

(06/13 13:29:15) Dr. Kodama: Nick helps where he can.
(06/13 13:29:27) Dr. Kodama: Is there any reason he shouldn't?
(06/13 13:29:39) Michael Engberg: Why not?? Exactly, we need all the help we can ge
(06/13 13:29:58) Vortmax: I think it was that explorer's opinion that he'd kind of "betr
ask, and I got an anser
(06/13 13:30:00) Vortmax: *answer
(06/13 13:30:26) CAGrayWolf: Personally, I thought Nick was more mislead by Sharp
behind the backs of the DRC.
(06/13 13:30:49) Dr. Kodama: Alright, is that all then?
(06/13 13:30:57) Vortmax: I'm of the opinion that it doesn't matter much now. Things

(05/02 13:04:33) From darkstar in D'ni-Ae'gura: Shorah
(05/02 13:04:42) Eleri: we should probably decide when the next town hall meetings s
(05/02 13:04:54) Dr. Kodama: Yes.
(05/02 13:05:16) Eleri: I think half an hour was too short, myself. Especially when we
(05/02 13:05:30) CAGrayWolf: Agreed
(05/02 13:06:06) Marie Sutherland: If we make them longer, then we'll have to cut dow
(05/02 13:06:16) Dr. Kodama: Smaller group size is better in my opinion.
(05/02 13:06:32) Dr. Kodama: Less... issues
(05/02 13:06:45) Eleri: true, but we might get more substance to them, if age slowness
(05/02 13:07:09) CAGrayWolf: Oppps, I misunderstood Eleri. Half hour between mee
(05/02 13:07:40) Vortmax2: Is there a way you can limit the number of people in a 'ho
to 20 or so?
(05/02 13:08:06) Dr. Kodama: Opening and closing are the only way in the short term.
(05/02 13:08:21) Eleri: *nodnod*
(05/02 13:08:22) CAGrayWolf: I think the length on the meetings was fine.
(05/02 13:08:53) Tweek: need more time between meetings for everyone to get where

need to shout?
(05/02 13:10:14) Vortmax2: Here's another scheduling question: Can we get you guys
meetings at good times for the Aussie time zones?
(05/02 13:10:56) Dr. Kodama: The KI issue is something Victor is suppose to fix. But
(05/02 13:11:04) Eleri: one thing at a time, maybe?
(05/02 13:11:06) CAGrayWolf: Marie, I actually like having the two meetings at once
(05/02 13:11:06) Dr. Kodama: Shouting will have to suffice.
(05/02 13:11:16) Vortmax2: (Sorry, was typing as you asked)
(05/02 13:11:27) To Eleri: Sorry, had already typed that and didn't feel like typing aga
(05/02 13:11:29) Marie Sutherland: Understood, CAGW :)
(05/02 13:11:55) Eleri: how about this...
(05/02 13:12:23) Eleri: meetings start on the hour, and run for at least a half hour, but c
(05/02 13:12:52) Eleri: and the next meeting isn't scheduled until 2 hours after the star
(05/02 13:13:09) Eleri: so if a meeting started at 10am, it could go until 11, and the nex
(05/02 13:13:41) Tweek: that gives times for logs to be posted on the DRCL forum and

they're going
(05/02 13:14:35) Marie Sutherland: The schedule will be greatly affected by the topic.
chatting with me was roughly the same as chatting with Kodama.
(05/02 13:14:36) Dr. Kodama: Good.
(05/02 13:14:56) Vortmax2: Meeting here in advance is a really good idea
(05/02 13:15:02) Marie Sutherland: Other topics might be heavily focused on one mem
(05/02 13:15:10) Tweek: I think the next TH should proberbly be with Cyan folk,
(05/02 13:15:11) CAGrayWolf: Agreed
(05/02 13:15:25) Eleri: *nod*
(05/02 13:15:29) Tweek: keep it alternating perhaps
(05/02 13:15:31) Dr. Kodama: Yes.
(05/02 13:15:54) Marie Sutherland: That's a good idea. At least for now.
(05/02 13:15:54) Eleri: We need to have at least one cyan meeting, and one DRC meet
(05/02 13:16:39) Eleri: how often should we do this? 1 day a week, and alternate Cyan

you?
(05/02 13:17:55) Dr. Kodama: After the initial meetings I would prefer not to have eve

(05/02 13:18:28) Vortmax2: Would you rather we set up a day with topics for just one
(05/02 13:18:53) CAGrayWolf: So if we had one member of each for say an hour once
(05/02 13:18:54) Marie Sutherland: I think the frequency of the meetings will go down
questions right now,...
(05/02 13:18:58) Dr. Kodama: One or two is good.
(05/02 13:19:02) From juneous in D'ni-Ae'gura: hello greeters :)

(05/02 13:19:26) CAGrayWolf starts to laugh
(05/02 13:19:27) Dr. Kodama: Yet.
(05/02 13:19:33) Eleri: I think that'll happen in perpetuity

meetings
(05/02 13:20:10) Tweek: erm having them more spaced out I mean >.<
(05/02 13:20:14) Eleri: would it be better for you to get questions ahead of time on a to
(05/02 13:20:51) Eleri: or do a canned report at the top of the meeting, and then take q
(05/02 13:21:06) CAGrayWolf: Problem with that is we would get a flood of questions
(05/02 13:21:31) Marie Sutherland: the problem with getting the questions ahead of tim
liaisons) will be only picking some of the questions. People will accuse you of favoriti
(05/02 13:21:33) Tweek: well you could do something like "first 10 questions submitte
(05/02 13:21:54) Eleri: we could ask for questions to be pmed ahead of time on the for
topic
(05/02 13:22:15) Eleri: cause people are going to have questions that are similar enoug
(05/02 13:22:19) Marie Sutherland: If it's somewhere public like the forums where peo
were, that might work.
(05/02 13:22:43) Marie Sutherland: Unless you all aren't worried about the accusations
(05/02 13:22:46) CAGrayWolf: Like what I did with hood submissions?
(05/02 13:22:52) Vortmax2: Such things are done on the Surface regularly, where ques

(05/02 13:23:25) Vortmax2: I don't care about accusations, myself. I know we're doing

(05/02 13:25:15) CAGrayWolf: that they would cope.

(05/02 13:26:28) Marie Sutherland: Dr. Watson quoted that often. :)
(05/02 13:26:28) Eleri: I think we'll be able to figure out the best way to flow question
(05/02 13:26:59) Eleri: Still no word from him? That's so sad :(
(05/02 13:27:07) Dr. Kodama: Yes.
(05/02 13:27:15) Dr. Kodama: Sad.

(05/02 13:27:30) Tweek: Tweek spoke to watson just after you guys dispanded.
(05/02 13:27:45) Marie Sutherland: What did he say?
(05/02 13:27:50) Dr. Kodama: Where?
(05/02 13:28:01) Tweek: cant remember, did an interview with him for djc
(05/02 13:28:58) CAGrayWolf: Wasn't that just before Cyan released the x-packs?
(05/02 13:29:16) Marie Sutherland: Interesting.
(05/02 13:29:39) Dr. Kodama: Speaking of Cyan, Marie you know how to contact them
(05/02 13:29:41) Tweek: wolfie I cant honestly remember

(05/02 13:30:42) Eleri: Should we work on a tentative 2 month schedule?
(05/02 13:30:54) Marie Sutherland: That's not a bad idea, Eleri
(05/02 13:31:27) Vortmax2: Which begs the question, are there any particular days/tim
(05/02 13:31:28) Marie Sutherland: That way people can look ahead to future meeting
(05/02 13:31:36) Eleri: I'm thinking the technical director, first. Mark Deforest?
(05/02 13:31:41) Vortmax2: Or regularly good?
(05/02 13:32:43) Marie Sutherland: I will talk with Mr. DeForest and ask what times w

(06/26 07:55:53) JStaub: Okay, I'll try and remember to shout everything
(06/26 07:55:55) Jane: standing seems to be less memory intensive
(06/26 07:56:14) From Marie Sutherland in Jill S's Relto: great. thanks. :D
(06/26 07:56:21) Cubkyle: Sitting creates a memory leak?
(06/26 07:56:30) IanWatson: It seems so.
(06/26 07:56:46) IanWatson: Standing will release the memory.
(06/26 07:56:48) darkstar: Seems that way, sit you get one stand up and it goes away

(06/26 07:59:52) JStaub: Ok, well, let's see
(06/26 08:00:18) To DRCLeri1: Does he have presubmitted questions?
(06/26 08:00:20) JStaub: I've been at Cyan for over 12 years now
(06/26 08:00:42) JStaub: My first project for Cyan was actually the game Color Spelun

(06/26 08:04:41) JStaub: basically, that means in addition to being on the design team,
feels nice :)
(06/26 08:04:51) JStaub: How's that?
(06/26 08:05:04) DRCLeri1: Nifty!
(06/26 08:05:47) DRCLeri1: Can you start off the topic by telling us what the Pipline i
Uru?
(06/26 08:05:58) JStaub: Sure
(06/26 08:06:39) JStaub: Generally speaking, the design team will sit down and discus
in, for example, a new age
(06/26 08:07:12) JStaub: ...we will usually consider any technical issues and advancem
well
(06/26 08:08:24) JStaub: ...After a few days we usually have a fairly clear idea of wha

(06/26 08:13:54) JStaub: ...it is very beneficial to have qa and wiring in there at the ear
about how they will try and tackle the puzzle elements

(06/26 08:22:03) DRCLeri1: nono, that was great!
(06/26 08:22:23) DRCLeri1: do you want to take questions now?
(06/26 08:22:35) JStaub: I'd be happy to :)

(06/26 08:29:28) JStaub: Ah! (sorry)
(06/26 08:30:54) JStaub: Well, honestly, most of what we are working on now are gett

(06/26 08:31:30) From Dadguy: Question, if we have time.
(06/26 08:31:57) darkstar: lots of beta testing then lol
(06/26 08:32:16) JStaub: ...additionally, there are ages that were never multi-player, an
design revision in some cases...there are a lot of things you can do in single player that

for creating a roadblock

(06/26 08:39:23) CAGrayWolf: Mari, you have a question?
(06/26 08:39:53) Mari': How many ages are in the pipeline at one time?
(06/26 08:40:28) JStaub: Good question...it varies, but ideally we will have 1 or 2 larg
(06/26 08:40:43) JStaub: ...and perhaps a smaller one going at the same time

(06/26 08:47:43) joao pedro: sorry
(06/26 08:47:47) ireenq_translator: There have been made some suggestions on possib
several buddie lists or a web browser fuction, can you tell us if any of that is in the pip

(06/26 08:48:20) CAGrayWolf: NP Joao, you are on the list. :)
(06/26 08:48:21) From Sorceress: QUESTION

(06/26 08:49:58) JStaub: ...some of them aren't as practical as others, but there ARE so
important...I'm sure we will put those at the top of the list :)

(06/26 08:59:19) JStaub: Beta has not begun, I'm not sure of exactly when it will start,
can get the game stable, the servers up, and evertyhing in place
(06/26 08:59:59) JStaub: I'm not sure how much daily updating there will be in beta, a
structural things than story things

(06/26 09:02:13) Nikolas: The ages you are currently working on, are they mainly "nat
with large structures like Gahreseen?Or a blend?(excuse my bad english)
(06/26 09:03:16) JStaub: Well, as I mentioned most of what we're working on now is g
properly...but the ideas we have for future ages are a blend I would say
(06/26 09:03:28) JStaub: next?
(06/26 09:03:30) CAGrayWolf: Last two questions. Eleri, you have a question?
(06/26 09:03:47) DRCLeri1: I'll rephrase it, even...
(06/26 09:04:14) DRCLeri1: Is there a goal of having X number of new things for the
things rebuilt?
(06/26 09:04:53) JStaub: both?
(06/26 09:05:04) DRCLeri1: lol
(06/26 09:05:20) JStaub: Heheh. :) We definitely need the old things rebuilt, but there
well :0
(06/26 09:05:25) JStaub: I mean :)
(06/26 09:05:37) JStaub: next?
(06/26 09:05:39) CAGrayWolf: Jane, you have a question?
(06/26 09:05:41) Jane: We've been talking about your (wonderful) age-building, mostl
for the avatars, or is that a separate "department"?
(06/26 09:07:07) JStaub: Well, I still oversee everything visually, so that includes the a
done by Jason Baskett
(06/26 09:08:01) JStaub: specific items (rewards clothing, etc.) I will be more involved
vast majority of stuff is made by Jase
(06/26 09:08:34) JStaub: Is that the last question for now? I should probably get to my

managing the Art Dept., I also do the concept design work for the ages...
(06/26 22:01:42) JStaub: How's that? Probably more than you wanted to know I bet. :)
(06/26 22:01:57) DRCLVortmax1: Nah, that's great!
(06/26 22:02:13) JStaub: Did everyone get that or did I forget to use /shout?
(06/26 22:02:25) Tyion: got it
(06/26 22:02:30) Sithly: I got it
(06/26 22:02:31) DRCLVortmax1: So, do you have any juicy tidbits for us? Anything
(06/26 22:02:44) DRCLVortmax1: We hear DESTRUCTION IS COMING. What is th
(06/26 22:02:53) JStaub: Is that my first official question? ;)
(06/26 22:02:54) DRCLVortmax1 grins
(06/26 22:03:02) DRCLVortmax1: Semi-official
(06/26 22:03:15) JStaub: Unfortunately, there's no way I can let you in on THAT juicy
(06/26 22:03:23) DRCLVortmax1: Awww, okay
(06/26 22:03:23) DRCLeri1: aww
(06/26 22:03:26) DRCLeri1: ;)
(06/26 22:03:39) JStaub: I'm sure you've got plenty of theories :)
(06/26 22:03:44) JStaub: next?
(06/26 22:03:47) DRCLVortmax1: Okay, let's move on to the questions. Remember, if
I'll call on you in turn.
(06/26 22:03:53) DRCLVortmax1: Marten, let's start with you
(06/26 22:03:57) Marten: In another Town Hall meeting, Marie Sutherland of the DRC
content with "repeatable" value. Can you expound upon what that means for the pipeli
(06/26 22:04:40) JStaub: Sure. W
(06/26 22:05:12) JStaub: Without getting TOO specific, I think we are always going to
of ages that we make available...
(06/26 22:06:06) JStaub: One type of age we feel is important is one that can be played
entertaining...in most puzzle ages, you get through the age, and for many people it feel
(06/26 22:07:32) JStaub: ...so we want to try and come up with some ages that are fun
example of this might be an age that is still interesting visually, and perhaps has some
encourage friendly competition of sorts...I'm NOT talking about leveling or anything li
something fun to do, that they may want to challenge eachother with
(06/26 22:09:09) JStaub: for example, we would love to provide a vehicle in an age at
NOW, but we would like to...well, you provide a couple of vehicles in an age, and gue
Again, I'm not saying you HAVE to race in this age, but it is something that people W
(06/26 22:09:24) JStaub: Again, we would like to find a good balance :) Make sense?
(06/26 22:09:34) JStaub: next?
(06/26 22:09:36) DRCLVortmax1: Yali, your question?
(06/26 22:10:23) DRCLVortmax1: Yali? You there?
(06/26 22:10:32) Yali: yes
(06/26 22:10:42) Marten: Yali, use /shout
(06/26 22:11:46) Yali: My qurestion nis will Uru Live's story follow the logical contin
ABM, or will it be something entirely new
(06/26 22:12:39) JStaub: There will be new elements, but essentially I think it is safe t
continuation
(06/26 22:12:51) JStaub: next?
(06/26 22:12:52) DRCLVortmax1: A.Lingo, your turn!
(06/26 22:12:55) A.Lingo: Could you talk about the design concept of Eder Delin?
(06/26 22:13:09) JStaub: anything specific about it?
(06/26 22:13:24) A.Lingo: :) If you could.
(06/26 22:14:01) JStaub: Well, it is a garden age of course (thus the Eder), so it will sh
Eder Gira
(06/26 22:14:07) A.Lingo: How does it relate to the "Garden fad" of the D'ni, what wa
and Komo?
(06/26 22:14:24) Yali: Question no. 2
(06/26 22:14:58) JStaub: ...but at the same time it will be different. Some of the archite
standard "Dni" garden architecture) but the environment will be different
(06/26 22:15:10) JStaub: Have you seen images of it?
(06/26 22:15:21) DRCLVortmax1: We've just seen the image Marie provided
(06/26 22:15:42) JStaub: Okay, I'm aware of the one you're talking about...
(06/26 22:16:18) JStaub: ...The look and feel of the garden will be a little more myster
a garden,...somewhat calm in a way
(06/26 22:16:21) JStaub: next?
(06/26 22:16:25) Darryl Pogue: Hopefully you can say this without causing trouble, bu
the Physics engine used in Uru Live? You were mentioning this morning that it caused
to the slight nuances between engines.
(06/26 22:16:30) DRCLVortmax1: Darryl?
(06/26 22:17:47) JStaub: I actually don't think I can provide the name contractually at
will be able to comment on it soon. But yes, there are differences between the physics
working on now is getting the ABM ages to work with the new physics engine
(06/26 22:18:09) JStaub: next?
(06/26 22:18:16) DRCLVortmax1: vid?
(06/26 22:18:18) vid: This one is courtesy of Spock from the surface: Are there plans t
Uru Live? Such as the various Myst based ages? Even worlds with puzzles removed, it
others.
(06/26 22:20:03) JStaub: We have talked a lot about that actually, and judging from th
visiting previous ages (myst I ages for example) is something many of you would like
but we would also like to explore those :)
(06/26 22:20:59) JStaub: Incorporating some of the previous ages would definitely ma
the Myst franchise, and that is something that is exciting to me...of course, so is makin
(06/26 22:21:07) JStaub: next?
(06/26 22:21:09) DRCLVortmax1: Thend, you're up next!
(06/26 22:21:11) Thend: While the Pipeline is being filled and tested before Live, can

and Live?
(06/26 22:22:21) JStaub: I understand your question, but I'm really not the best person
goals of bringing lots of people to URU! :)
(06/26 22:22:46) JStaub: next?
(06/26 22:22:49) Marten: At this morning's TH, you mentioned adding multiplayer sup
in progress now, planned for the opening of Uru Live or sometime after? If after, how
things take in the pipeline)? (I won't ask which ages; I can guess.)
(06/26 22:24:55) JStaub: Wow, good questions. Well, like I mentioned this morning, m
just getting the ABM ages working...believe me, I fully understand that is not the most
up to live, but it is obviously the most critical...beyond that, we plan on attacking those
them amongst hopefully new bits of content...
(06/26 22:26:02) JStaub: ...that may change of course, we have the ability to move thin

balance that with the idea that many players have already seen that content and are loo

(06/26 22:27:24) JStaub: next?
(06/26 22:27:26) DRCLVortmax1: Yali?
(06/26 22:27:48) Yali: Is there a chance that we will revisit Tay. I'd LOVE to see more
(06/26 22:28:00) DRCLVortmax1: As a note: There's still plenty of time, and plenty o
'question' if you have one.
(06/26 22:28:49) Tyion: Ubisoft has some control over some of Uru's content my ques
(06/26 22:29:02) DRCLVortmax1: I'll add you Tyion :)
(06/26 22:29:26) Tyion: sry i thought i sent that to you vort
(06/26 22:29:34) JStaub: I would say we are open to exploring many of those places...b
content I believe
(06/26 22:29:43) JStaub: next?
(06/26 22:29:48) DRCLVortmax1: Sithly?
(06/26 22:29:50) Sithly: As far as the Story line hearing Destruction is coming makes
guy added to the story line.. is that something you can comment on?
(06/26 22:30:47) JStaub: Hmmm.
(06/26 22:31:25) Sithly: ohh that must be a yes :)
(06/26 22:31:27) JStaub: I think with any good storyline there is tension...as to where t
point. :)
(06/26 22:31:38) JStaub: How's that for vague?! :)
(06/26 22:31:42) JStaub: next?
(06/26 22:31:43) DRCLVortmax1: I've got a question. You said this morning that you
Liaisons wanted a shirt or a hat or something, we'd come to you?
(06/26 22:32:25) DRCLVortmax1 grins
(06/26 22:33:08) JStaub: Well, technically you could do that, but of course everything
saying we WON'T do that, but there's a lot of other stuff to do right now! ;)
(06/26 22:33:23) JStaub: next?
(06/26 22:33:25) DRCLVortmax1: Of course. :) Marten, you had another question?
(06/26 22:33:30) Marten: Are alternative neighborhood layouts and/or customizations
(06/26 22:33:55) Marten: (e.g., Kirel from To D'ni)
(06/26 22:34:31) JStaub: Alternative neighborhoods and customizations are definitely
(06/26 22:34:55) JStaub: ...but is not yet a priority in the pipeline (I said "yet') ;()

modifications to the ages? I.E., new items, new details? Or is it strictly a back-to-work
interesting to see that the ages have "aged".

sure they're on board. Once everyone is on the same page, we may assign particular tas
what we call a "massing model", which is an untextured, very simple version of the en

(07/18 22:25:12) Andy12: Why wasn't path of the Shell on UU?
(07/18 22:25:43) DRCLVortmax1: Andy, UU is merely what Prologue was at shutdow
because Live was shut down too soon.

(07/18 22:30:00) vid: Apparently? :)
(07/18 22:30:21) DRCLVortmax1: Aro, I was floored. I honestly never expected to ge
candidates (or so I thought), and didn't have the name recognition.
(07/18 22:30:53) DRCLVortmax1: Then after I got over the shock and excitement, I w
enough to elect me as basically an information passer, who had to be trusted to do this

(07/18 22:37:05) DRCLVortmax1: Okay, Jon, yet again?
(07/18 22:37:09) Jonathan: When the Liaisons chose the TMH topics, did you simply s
accepted verbatim, or were there some modifications or rejections? Any examples?
(07/18 22:38:02) DRCLVortmax1: Actually no, Marie took them as is and said it woul
things around to fit schedules, as you've seen most recently with Rand's meeting
(07/18 22:38:49) DRCLVortmax1: But overall, our topics went off just as planned.

(08/10 10:55:31) randomos: bit helps. So does telling friends, lol. Next?
(08/10 10:55:36) CAGrayWolf: FordPerfect, you have a question?
(08/10 10:55:58) Ford Prefect: I know it's early yet, but can you give us some idea how
(08/10 10:56:44) randomos: Well, my understanding is it's going well. But I'm not dire
(08/10 10:56:58) randomos: But they've seemed pretty happy lately! Next?
(08/10 10:57:05) CAGrayWolf: Islander, you have a question?
(08/10 10:57:09) Islander: If cavern names will be the same as GameTap names, what
don't sign up to GameTap, but just UL? In fact, what will the whole process be like for
(08/10 10:58:06) randomos: Good question, and this is still being worked out. I think t
(08/10 10:58:36) randomos: there are or will be international participants in the Beta, w
details. Nex?
(08/10 10:58:41) CAGrayWolf: Walt, you have another question?
(08/10 10:58:43) Islander: Cheers ;)
(08/10 10:58:56) walt: will people have to buy the boxed version of the game, in addit
(08/10 10:59:46) randomos: My understanding is that Uru Live will be part of the Gam
download with subscription. And
(08/10 10:59:59) randomos: there will be a free trial version too. Next?
(08/10 11:00:04) CAGrayWolf: Ron, will GameTap be offering at some point subscrip
payment plans?
(08/10 11:01:11) randomos: I can't answer this for certain yet, but we are working on i
so there's a fair
(08/10 11:01:38) randomos: amount yet to be worked out, but GameTap is listening to
get heard.
(08/10 11:01:53) randomos: So, I'm confident it will happen. Next?
(08/10 11:01:55) DRCLVortmax1: We'd like to thank Ron Meiners for being at the me

(08/10 11:03:44) DRCLVortmax1: Stay tuned to the DRCL site at www.mystembassy
meeting!
(08/10 11:04:00) Islander: cheers Ron ;)
(08/10 11:04:08) randomos: It's really something isnt' it? I'm here to do all I can to help
(08/10 11:04:09) DRCLVortmax1: Yeah, welcome home, Ron
(08/10 11:04:27) randomos: great to be back, :-)
(08/10 11:04:31) A.Lingo claps.
(08/10 11:04:55) randomos: I'm still, honeslty... in a daze almost. Who would have tho
(08/10 11:05:14) randomos: It's all coming together really well
(08/10 11:05:23) Swimmery4: it is somewhat of a miracle
(08/10 11:05:28) DRCLVortmax1: So true. I wouldn't have believed this, two years ag
(08/10 11:05:36) randomos: I know, it's really true
(08/10 11:05:59) randomos: I find I appreciate it even more now...
(08/10 11:06:03) Saruk: I stuck around 'cause I thought it'd be back someday
(08/10 11:06:09) DRCLVortmax1: Until Uru was a minor miracle itself.
(08/10 11:06:09) Sparrowhawk (I'm on the surface, be back in a minute):
(08/10 11:06:16) randomos: really drink in every scene
(08/10 11:06:25) randomos: yes, very true- a very important one tho
(08/10 11:06:31) Julia: Some dreams just won't give up
(08/10 11:06:46) randomos: the community support has meant a lot to the powers that
(08/10 11:06:53) DRCLVortmax1: And now, the Cavern is full of life again! Hard to b
(08/10 11:06:56) Islander: too true, Jane
(08/10 11:06:58) walt: Uru fans are a stubborn lot - we won't let it go away again!
(08/10 11:06:58) randomos: which is impressive
(08/10 11:07:27) DRCLVortmax1: I've been really impressed with Turner so far. One
megacorporation like Time Warner
(08/10 11:07:40) Swimmery4: "perhaps the ending has not yet been written.." that's ce
(08/10 11:07:50) Imaroth: In that, I agree.
(08/10 11:07:53) CAGrayWolf: They do seem to be a more people compnay.
(08/10 11:07:59) randomos: I agree... they really are good people, and committed to C
(08/10 11:08:20) randomos: They really want to do it well
(08/10 11:08:45) Jane: and could I say--I initially had a little trouble getting GameTap
*awesome*
(08/10 11:08:50) DRCLVortmax1: It's nice to see that they're willing to commit to this
(08/10 11:08:52) randomos: I think too, they are really excited by the long-term potent
in three years?
(08/10 11:09:04) DRCLVortmax1: Oh yeah Jane, GameTap support has been really in
(08/10 11:09:06) Swimmery4: it will be hard to imagine
(08/10 11:09:24) Imaroth: Still, there's the thing with lag, here and there.
(08/10 11:09:24) DRCLVortmax1: Heh, I'm trying to imagine what it'll be like in 10 y
(08/10 11:09:27) randomos: I mean, if Cyan has a chance to make new content consist
(08/10 11:09:36) randomos: LOL yup!
(08/10 11:09:40) Jane: lol Imaroth
(08/10 11:10:07) randomos: I think that's one of the main targets of the Beta
(08/10 11:10:12) Jane: maybe the ending will *never* be written :)
(08/10 11:10:14) randomos: wish them good hunting, lol
(08/10 11:10:27) walt: I'm glad to see the price, too. Back in 2003 we were talking abo
(08/10 11:10:36) Imaroth: It's already quite amazing how they can biuld such worlds a
however, might be a solution for the lag.
(08/10 11:10:57) Swimmery4: won't we have problems with the story if it runs so long
(08/10 11:11:01) CAGrayWolf: squash squash squashing those bugs
(08/10 11:11:13) randomos: I have been impressed with GameTap- fun stuff. I hope I/
tho
(08/10 11:11:33) randomos: *part
(08/10 11:11:40) randomos: though party works well too
(08/10 11:11:51) Eleri: *nodnod*
(08/10 11:11:53) CAGrayWolf: party works as well, Ron.
(08/10 11:11:59) DRCLVortmax1: Yeah, don't we party all the time?
(08/10 11:12:02) CAGrayWolf: ?lol
(08/10 11:12:11) CAGrayWolf starts to laugh
(08/10 11:12:21) Swimmery4: every day in uru is a party!!
(08/10 11:12:32) randomos: I think that's a question more for GreyDragon or one of th
(08/10 11:12:42) Imaroth: Well, even that has it's sideeffects.. I'm more one for explor
(08/10 11:12:51) Imaroth: It's kind of disturbing, at times.
(08/10 11:12:56) Swimmery4: well i'll try to be there when i can ask that
(08/10 11:12:59) randomos: I'm not really as aware of all that is plannied, and how it w
(08/10 11:13:19) DRCLVortmax1: Ah, but things ARE planned, and that's a vast impr
(08/10 11:13:28) randomos: oh, yes!
(08/10 11:13:36) randomos: that much I know, lol
(08/10 11:13:39) Swimmery4: maybe we will run into the stranger
(08/10 11:13:45) DRCLVortmax1: And remember, go sign up for GameTap if you can
(08/10 11:14:09) Imaroth: I hope the strnager remains a mystery, it is, after all, Myst's
(08/10 11:14:13) randomos: LOL right! It's really for a great cause
(08/10 11:14:15) Imaroth: *stranger
(08/10 11:14:17) Jane: I've been impressed with GT--it's worth it!
(08/10 11:14:17) Swimmery4: yeah
(08/10 11:14:36) Swimmery4: well maybe he can be cloaked
(08/10 11:14:49) Eleri: is this your first time in cavern since Prologue?
(08/10 11:14:50) Swimmery4: like invisible
(08/10 11:15:07) Imaroth: Still, he, or she, I'd rather not find out, it's the hidden identit
(08/10 11:15:25) Eleri: wait...no, you were at the thusday TH
(08/10 11:15:34) CAGrayWolf starts to laugh
(08/10 11:15:38) Swimmery4: maybe it's not even a human or D'ni
(08/10 11:15:40) randomos: oh, me? No I've been around a little
(08/10 11:16:06) Imaroth: Speaking of which, the stranger appearing in Uru.. how old
(08/10 11:16:33) Swimmery4: i think he's a few hundred years old from myst to myst 5
(08/10 11:16:46) Imaroth: Atrus was about 250, in Myst 5, correct?
(08/10 11:16:57) Swimmery4: i think so
(08/10 11:17:21) DRCLVortmax1: Myst was set 150200 years ago I think
(08/10 11:17:22) Imaroth: Still, no one knows how young or old the stranger was on M
(08/10 11:17:28) DRCLVortmax1: *150-200
(08/10 11:17:52) Swimmery4: there is that too
(08/10 11:18:15) Imaroth: At least some of us know how the star fissure appeared.. tha
(08/10 11:18:24) DRCLVortmax1: And the Fall of D'ni was something like 300-400 y
(08/10 11:18:25) Swimmery4: maybe he lived in the fissure until the myst book fell, so
(08/10 11:19:05) Swimmery4: i dont think its that long, maybe 200-300
(08/10 11:19:17) Imaroth: currently reading the myst reader, it does explain a bit abou
to see it all back in here
(08/10 11:19:33) Swimmery4: yeah, if you want to know the backstory, pick up the my
(08/10 11:19:43) Swimmery4: great book
(08/10 11:19:51) Imaroth: I have one question though, about a certain structure here in
(08/10 11:19:57) walt: where's Doctor Watson when you need him?
(08/10 11:20:03) Swimmery4: lol
(08/10 11:20:18) randomos: it will be interesting to see if the greater popularity of MM
(08/10 11:20:21) Imaroth: Is there any way to reach Kerath's Arch in the near future? I
(08/10 11:20:22) CAGrayWolf: I thought we had already found dates to confirm when
(08/10 11:20:52) randomos: I'm just as curious, lol
(08/10 11:20:58) Swimmery4: if you meet an admin on a private shard, they might brin
(08/10 11:21:03) DRCLVortmax1: There's an interesting topic about that on the DRCs
Uru had to fail because of issues back then, so that it could live now.
(08/10 11:21:06) walt: Yes, Imartoh, but it's not "legal"
(08/10 11:21:32) Imaroth: I know, but that structure is weirdly enough one of the thing
(08/10 11:21:46) Imaroth: Besides, I was asking for a link to it when Uru gets expande
(08/10 11:21:47) DRCLVortmax1: Imartoh, if you do an offline installation, and apply
:)
(08/10 11:21:47) randomos: It's ... amazing... how much more "right" it feels now... an
(08/10 11:21:48) Swimmery4: anyone else remember sitting on the arch with an admin
(08/10 11:22:21) Imaroth: You've been there??
(08/10 11:22:25) Imaroth: What was it like?
(08/10 11:22:27) DRCLVortmax1: Yeah, I'm really pleased with the GameTap partner
(08/10 11:22:28) Swimmery4: like teledahn?
(08/10 11:22:29) Imaroth: T-T
(08/10 11:22:37) Swimmery4: bery low textured lol
(08/10 11:22:55) CAGrayWolf: I do recall, back during the first beta ... that Cyan had
the game version and that they felt it was to early yet.
(08/10 11:23:03) Imaroth: I have about, twenty shots of that structure alone..
(08/10 11:23:50) CAGrayWolf hands Swimmery more berries to increase the desired t
(08/10 11:25:04) Imaroth: Why do I have the feeling most of the people standing here
(08/10 11:25:04) Bennie: is it too late to ask a question ?
(08/10 11:25:23) Swimmery4: well, i gotta go because A) im scared that the guns will
(08/10 11:25:25) DRCLVortmax1: I'd go ahead Bennie. Randomos will answer, or not
(08/10 11:25:45) CAGrayWolf: I think I'm still here.
(08/10 11:25:45) randomos: sure
(08/10 11:25:55) Imaroth: He was just playing pacman on his KI, it seems.
(08/10 11:25:57) DRCLVortmax1: See ya Swimmery
(08/10 11:26:11) randomos: GameTap meets Ki
(08/10 11:26:13) Swimmery4: bye all, great meeting, thanks all speakers
(08/10 11:26:23) randomos: thanks, seeya!
(08/10 11:26:23) CAGrayWolf: bye Swimmery
(08/10 11:27:05) Imaroth: I've been thinking about something, though.. I'll ask it after
(08/10 11:28:01) randomos: Imaroth maybe you can just go ahead
(08/10 11:28:03) CAGrayWolf: BrB
(08/10 11:28:09) Imaroth: Maybe I should..
(08/10 11:28:13) Imaroth: Anyways
(08/10 11:28:14) randomos: I will answer both if I can
(08/10 11:29:06) Imaroth: Is there already some sort of collectors stuff that people get
stuff about the D'ni, its story, background story, etc?
(08/10 11:29:09) randomos: golly it's gorgeous in here isnt' it? Never get tired of looki
(08/10 11:29:40) randomos: I don't think so, not yet, but that's a great idea
(08/10 11:29:48) Imaroth: As in magazines or something, journals of other explorers, e
(08/10 11:29:57) randomos: I'll forward that along, and see if we can do somthing coo
(08/10 11:30:00) Imaroth: I'd be really interested in it.
(08/10 11:30:12) Imaroth: Hope so, I'd be the first to subscribe.
(08/10 11:30:15) Imaroth: <_<
(08/10 11:30:15) randomos: if Cyan's working on something- and they may be, but I d
(08/10 11:30:26) DRCLVortmax1: Heh, "D'ni Monthly" magazine appearing on your o
(08/10 11:30:56) Imaroth: Well, it should help them as well, people can read more abo
that way and concentrate on the games.
(08/10 11:31:22) Imaroth: And with the help of people who read it, they can expand, e
(08/10 11:31:37) randomos: yes- and there will be lots of new people coming in too
(08/10 11:31:59) Imaroth: that as well, it's another way to advertise Uru.
(08/10 11:32:05) Imaroth: Instead of only digital.
(08/10 11:32:15) walt: I have to put in a plug for The Lyst here....
(08/10 11:33:28) randomos: Presumably, the community will be growing a lot in a littl
help a lot
(08/10 11:33:32) Deg: The Great Tree and D'ni Explorers Guild are working on a serie
Restoration (from 2002 onwards), but that's so far just a digital project.
(08/10 11:33:58) Greg: BOOM
(08/10 11:34:00) DRCLVortmax1: I'm really hoping we'll get a boost from the built-in
(08/10 11:34:07) Imaroth: Well, most of us will support anything the community has t
(08/10 11:34:27) randomos: yes, I'm curious about that too Vort- how much they will c
(08/10 11:35:13) randomos: well, GameTap does see Uru Live as a jewel in the crown
added to consistently
(08/10 11:35:29) Deg: I think the in-cavern news channel on GameTap sounds cool an
(08/10 11:35:30) randomos: it is exciting- an evolving story
(08/10 11:36:02) randomos: I don't see why not- this community is clearly creative eno
(08/10 11:36:05) walt: I'm not that familiar with GT - don't they feature mostly "shoote
you think?
(08/10 11:36:24) DRCLVortmax1: They have all kinds of games, walt.
(08/10 11:36:43) randomos: GameTap has almost 600 titles from Carmen Diego to Sp
(08/10 11:36:43) DRCLVortmax1: Really covering just about any genre you want.
(08/10 11:37:08) randomos: I have been impressed to see some old faves- they're addin
too
(08/10 11:37:10) walt: I'll have to DL the software - I signed up but didn't go further th
(08/10 11:37:19) DRCLVortmax1: The ONE thing I wish they could pick up would be
go of the rights :p
(08/10 11:37:20) Imaroth: Well, I believe I ran out of questions, somehow.
(08/10 11:37:29) CAGrayWolf: I looked through all the games on GT and was quite im
with.
(08/10 11:37:52) walt: LOL I still enjoy the old Infocom text adventures!
(08/10 11:37:54) randomos: I'm really grateful, lol- I mean, it really is a good value
(08/10 11:37:59) Imaroth: Zork, huh?
(08/10 11:38:00) CAGrayWolf: and more will be added over time.
(08/10 11:38:08) randomos: and Uru Live too? very cool.
(08/10 11:38:14) walt: ork, and the original ADVENT....
(08/10 11:38:18) walt: ork
(08/10 11:38:25) Imaroth: *zork :p
(08/10 11:38:28) DRCLVortmax1: They add several games every week
(08/10 11:38:29) walt: Zork!
(08/10 11:38:37) Imaroth: yes!
(08/10 11:38:39) Imaroth: xD
(08/10 11:38:43) randomos: I can go back to playing Worms, lol
(08/10 11:39:11) Imaroth pokes Julia 'Ask something '
(08/10 11:39:44) randomos: I'm not sure- Deg that would be great
(08/10 11:39:56) randomos: OK, I should probably head out
(08/10 11:39:57) CAGrayWolf: Am I still here?
(08/10 11:40:05) DRCLVortmax1: Awww, bye randomos!
(08/10 11:40:12) walt: I think this has been asked, but are there any plans for a Linux v
(08/10 11:40:21) Imaroth: Later, randomos.
(08/10 11:40:24) CAGrayWolf: Bye Ron, and thank you again.
(08/10 11:40:27) randomos: thanks again for all the support folks, and for being here w
(08/10 11:40:32) randomos: will see you soon
(08/10 11:40:37) walt: Thanks, Ron
(08/10 11:40:43) Imaroth: Thanks for answering them.
(08/10 11:40:56) Imaroth: and for the forwarding :p
(08/10 11:41:03) CAGrayWolf: See you tonight Ron ... though I'll be about 30 minutes
(08/10 11:41:16) Julia: that poke froze me, Imaroth
(08/10 11:41:26) Imaroth: My apologies, Julia.
(08/10 11:41:28) Imaroth: >_<

(11/08 14:57:32) CAGrayWolf: Shorah Marie
(11/08 14:57:44) Marie Sutherland: so many duties, so little time
(11/08 14:57:54) CAGrayWolf: Know that feeling
(11/08 14:57:59) Eleri: running frantic, hmm?
(11/08 14:58:13) Marie Sutherland: pretty much, yes.
(11/08 14:58:23) Marie Sutherland: But such is life. How are things with you all?
(11/08 14:58:41) Eleri: goodgood.
(11/08 14:59:06) Marie Sutherland: I believe Kodama will be coming. Engberg is on th
(11/08 14:59:31) Vortmax: Dr. Kodama is always good for a laugh. :)
(11/08 15:00:08) Eleri: don't let him hear you say that ;) You'll blow his cover
(11/08 15:01:04) CAGrayWolf: Shorah Dr Kodama
(11/08 15:01:08) Vortmax: Greetings
(11/08 15:01:09) Dr. Kodama: hello
(11/08 15:01:33) Eleri: Hihi!
(11/08 15:02:07) Vortmax: Sooooo.... Where to start?
(11/08 15:02:27) Eleri: yer stuck with the five of us for another 6 months :)
(11/08 15:03:04) Dr. Kodama: I suppose we are.
(11/08 15:03:04) Vortmax: I guess first I'd like to know if you have any news for us, th
(11/08 15:03:15) Marie Sutherland: I see that. No complaints from me. You all did a g
given.
(11/08 15:03:55) Dr. Kodama: Then lets get on with the future.
(11/08 15:04:28) Dr. Kodama: Marie are you leading this or am I?
(11/08 15:04:47) Marie Sutherland: Some kind of official announcement? No. We don
(11/08 15:05:07) Marie Sutherland: At least not at this time.
(11/08 15:05:14) Dr. Kodama: Then we're done?
(11/08 15:05:20) CAGrayWolf starts to laugh
(11/08 15:05:26) Vortmax laughs
(11/08 15:05:29) Marie Sutherland: I do have other things to discuss, though, if you'd l
(11/08 15:05:29) Vortmax: What did I say? :P
(11/08 15:05:39) CAGrayWolf: I would
(11/08 15:05:42) Vortmax nods his head
(11/08 15:05:46) Dr. Kodama: Very good.
(11/08 15:06:17) Marie Sutherland: I've been trying to keep up with the forums, even w
discussions.
(11/08 15:06:47) Eleri: it's been semi organized chaos, as usual
(11/08 15:07:15) CAGrayWolf: I have a hard time keeping up ... and I have the time.
(11/08 15:07:33) Marie Sutherland: I've seen that some folks want to lock the liaisons
between the DRC and the explorers.
(11/08 15:07:58) Marie Sutherland: Personally, I don't agree with that idea.
(11/08 15:08:10) CAGrayWolf claps his hands
(11/08 15:08:24) Vortmax: Are you saying you'd like to see us continue working with
(11/08 15:08:28) Eleri: I figured, we'll end up going where we're needed
(11/08 15:08:59) Marie Sutherland: I think of the liaisons' job as "information dissemi
DRC, even though we are the ones that initially asked for you.
(11/08 15:09:29) Marie Sutherland: I see the liaisons as helping people who have infor
that information.
(11/08 15:09:40) Marie Sutherland: The town halls are a great example.
(11/08 15:09:54) Vortmax: So really, a more general information-facilitation job (for l
(11/08 15:10:01) Marie Sutherland: The town halls haven't solely been with the DRC.
(11/08 15:10:23) Marie Sutherland: The upcoming Town Hall with the Great Tree folk
(11/08 15:10:33) Vortmax nods his head
(11/08 15:10:53) Marie Sutherland: In that case, the information that they have that pe
Tree members themselves.
(11/08 15:10:54) CAGrayWolf: We have semi-discussed having TH with groups that a
The Great Tree. How do you feel about this?
(11/08 15:11:03) Marie Sutherland: I don't have a problem with that continuing in the
(11/08 15:11:07) Marie Sutherland: Comments?
(11/08 15:11:27) CAGrayWolf: Sorry, you just answered that. *blush*
(11/08 15:11:38) Eleri: I think that'll work just fine. If groups know they can come to u
(11/08 15:11:44) Vortmax: I like this. That way we're open to everyone, regardless of
(11/08 15:12:01) CAGrayWolf: Exactly my feelings as well.
(11/08 15:12:23) Eleri: hmm. Maybe wee need to be known as Cavern Liaisons then
(11/08 15:12:44) CAGrayWolf: That would probably be less confusing.
(11/08 15:12:44) Vortmax: Tweek is on his way
(11/08 15:12:50) Eleri: so people don't keep trying to pin us down.
(11/08 15:12:53) Marie Sutherland: I think we're all on the same page, then.
(11/08 15:13:10) Marie Sutherland: That isn't a bad idea, Eleri.
(11/08 15:13:16) Vortmax: I like that too
(11/08 15:13:24) CAGrayWolf: Agreed
(11/08 15:13:30) Eleri: not that I mind being a DRC pipeline, but that way were're not
(11/08 15:14:13) Eleri: that should probably come as an official sort of announcement
(11/08 15:14:24) Marie Sutherland: Helping us spread information around the Cavern
hosting the Town halls for now)
(11/08 15:14:38) Dr. Kodama: We'll have to think about that one.
(11/08 15:14:48) Dr. Kodama: I don't know about the name change.
(11/08 15:15:19) Eleri: you guys percolate it on your end. no sense rushing in
(11/08 15:15:40) Eleri: speaking of spread of information...
(11/08 15:15:43) Marie Sutherland: Agreed. We'll discuss it further.
(11/08 15:15:51) CAGrayWolf: I just feel better that we have a clearer idea of what to
(11/08 15:16:22) Eleri: we should probably touch on the Great Tree issue. Since it look
though misinformation there...
(11/08 15:16:43) Dr. Kodama: What now?
(11/08 15:17:07) CAGrayWolf: Apparently (rumor) the DRC burned their jackets.
(11/08 15:17:25) CAGrayWolf: Shorah Tweek
(11/08 15:17:33) Vortmax: It's come out that it was a hoax though
(11/08 15:17:35) Eleri: which they now know was a hoax, but somone they trusted pas
(11/08 15:17:42) Dr. Kodama: Who?
(11/08 15:17:49) Eleri: no idea
(11/08 15:17:56) Marie Sutherland: I saw it. I'm not sure who started the rumor, but it
response was appropriate.
(11/08 15:18:04) Dr. Kodama: Well we can't control everything that is said anyway.
(11/08 15:18:12) Eleri: and I betcha they won't be trusting them anymore.
(11/08 15:18:13) CAGrayWolf: Astar would not release his sourse ... which I can unde
(11/08 15:18:13) Dr. Kodama: So be it. There are liars in the world.
(11/08 15:18:17) Tweek: my appologise, I had some trouble getting down here.
(11/08 15:18:24) Marie Sutherland: It was bound to be discovered to be hoax soon eno
(11/08 15:18:33) Eleri: mostly, it bugs me that someoone would be trying to fan old fla
(11/08 15:18:36) Marie Sutherland: Hello, Tweek.
(11/08 15:18:36) Dr. Kodama: I'm sure there will be more lies in the future.
(11/08 15:18:42) Dr. Kodama: Tweek...
(11/08 15:18:49) Tweek: hi
(11/08 15:18:53) CAGrayWolf: This is true
(11/08 15:18:54) Vortmax: Right, we're worried this is a sign that perhaps more will be
(11/08 15:19:00) Dr. Kodama: I'm sure they will.
(11/08 15:19:02) Vortmax: It's something you should be aware of, if nothing else.
(11/08 15:19:14) CAGrayWolf: unfortunately ... along with mis-conception and mis-u
(11/08 15:19:33) Dr. Kodama: Not everyone is a friend of the DRC. I'm fine with that.
(11/08 15:20:15) Eleri: as far as I can tell, the GT people are ready to start anew. Thing
beliefs that may not fit
(11/08 15:20:25) Marie Sutherland: Shall we move on to something more positive?
(11/08 15:20:29) CAGrayWolf: I would like to ask ... will the DRC be available for an
(11/08 15:20:49) Vortmax: Yes, we'd like at least one, if possible
(11/08 15:21:17) CAGrayWolf: Perhaps along the lines of touching base and what you
(11/08 15:21:18) Eleri: just so pople don't fret you've been packed off by Bahro
(11/08 15:21:38) Marie Sutherland: Yes. We would like one more to discuss the upcom
(11/08 15:21:42) CAGrayWolf: and/or any updates.
(11/08 15:21:56) Eleri: that'll be an exciting one
(11/08 15:21:58) Marie Sutherland: WE're not sure of the exact timing, with our curren
(11/08 15:22:01) CAGrayWolf: Agreed
(11/08 15:22:22) Dr. Kodama: Not this month.
(11/08 15:22:25) Vortmax: And, of course, time is short for everyone right now
(11/08 15:22:37) Marie Sutherland: My best estimate is that it would be sometime duri
(11/08 15:22:39) CAGrayWolf: How about we work on TH schedules and then submit
know what works best for you all.
(11/08 15:22:52) Marie Sutherland: We'll provide a more specific time frame as soon a
(11/08 15:23:11) CAGrayWolf: Ok, first part of Dec
(11/08 15:23:12) Vortmax: Okay, first week of December should be good. Right befor
(11/08 15:23:18) Marie Sutherland: Which brings me to my next point, actually.
(11/08 15:24:05) Marie Sutherland: There are changes coming to the Cavern, as you're

(11/08 15:24:49) Tweek: Changes?
(11/08 15:25:04) CAGrayWolf: *perk*
(11/08 15:25:04) Tweek: good idea wolfie.
(11/08 15:25:14) Marie Sutherland: Those changes may require the liaison's role to cha
(11/08 15:25:31) Eleri: just warn us in advance?
(11/08 15:25:49) Marie Sutherland: For example, Laxman is working on the lattice as
(11/08 15:26:09) Dr. Kodama: Working a.k.a. destroying
(11/08 15:26:13) Tweek: lol
(11/08 15:26:15) CAGrayWolf starts to laugh
(11/08 15:26:24) Eleri: Laxman and his Lattice
(11/08 15:26:24) Vortmax: Hey, sometimes you have to do a format and reinstall. :D
(11/08 15:26:42) Dr. Kodama: We're expecting problems with it.
(11/08 15:27:13) Eleri: nothing like upgradind hardwaare you don't know quite how it
(11/08 15:27:17) Marie Sutherland: Some of us are hoping for the best but preparing fo
(11/08 15:27:26) Vortmax: Any idea what kind of problems?
(11/08 15:28:16) Dr. Kodama: If we're not able to send messages via the KI, we may d
(11/08 15:28:23) Vortmax nods his head
(11/08 15:28:25) Dr. Kodama: That's the bottom line.
(11/08 15:28:30) Eleri: not a problem
(11/08 15:28:33) Dr. Kodama: And I would plan on it - but I"m a pessimist.
(11/08 15:28:50) Tweek: I'm just plain grumpy
(11/08 15:28:52) Vortmax: Always prepare for the worst. It's just a smart move.
(11/08 15:29:04) Tweek: Guild of Messengers it is then ;)
(11/08 15:29:24) Dr. Kodama: Perhaps more than you think eventually.
(11/08 15:29:55) Dr. Kodama: It won't hurt to begin see the future, somewhat distant,
(11/08 15:30:29) Vortmax: Well, you know, we've heard rumors that destruction is com
already getting us thinking.
(11/08 15:30:37) CAGrayWolf: Won't we need a special KI for bulk messaging or can
(11/08 15:30:47) Dr. Kodama: You won't be using KI's.
(11/08 15:30:51) Dr. Kodama: They won't be working.
(11/08 15:30:54) Tweek: if the lattice is down KIs are no no
(11/08 15:30:58) CAGrayWolf: ooooooooooh
(11/08 15:31:02) Dr. Kodama: For bulk messaging.
(11/08 15:31:14) Vortmax: We'll be posting to forums and spending time in the Cavern
(11/08 15:31:17) Tweek: see I told you homing pidgeons was the future..
(11/08 15:31:28) Marie Sutherland: That's was another point on my list, actually... the

(11/08 15:32:24) Marie Sutherland: Just so you're prepared for the "distant" future... th

(11/08 15:32:45) Marie Sutherland: will one day fall under the jurisdiction of the Guild
(11/08 15:32:57) Vortmax: Interesting...
(11/08 15:33:00) CAGrayWolf: Cool
(11/08 15:33:11) Eleri: coolcool. Sort of the official cavern Press corps?

to be heading, just so you all know.
(11/08 15:34:05) Eleri: umm, as changes start happeneing, I assume there's going to be
planning for that?
(11/08 15:35:10) Tweek: Tweek had heard whispers about future guilds and stuff, shou
(11/08 15:35:15) Marie Sutherland: eleri - it's to early to really start planning it in any
(11/08 15:35:21) Vortmax: Do you thinkf these changes will take place during our term
(11/08 15:35:43) Vortmax: (Understanding you have no specific dates in mind at this p
(11/08 15:35:45) Marie Sutherland: probably further out. hard to say
(11/08 15:35:49) Vortmax nods his head
(11/08 15:35:49) CAGrayWolf: or at least our specifc roles, currently?
(11/08 15:35:54) Dr. Kodama: Guilds are some time.
(11/08 15:35:58) Dr. Kodama: The KI going down is not.
(11/08 15:36:04) Vortmax: Right.
(11/08 15:36:38) Eleri: hmmmm
(11/08 15:36:52) Marie Sutherland: That's all from my list.
(11/08 15:37:03) Vortmax: That actually answers several of my questions too.
(11/08 15:37:07) Tweek: I didn't have time to get my list sorted
(11/08 15:37:23) Dr. Kodama: Is there anything more to discuss? Anyone?
(11/08 15:38:01) Vortmax: So, to make sure I have this correct: We are to help all grou
information at large. We will be needed for getting your word out soon too, if the Latti

(11/08 15:38:44) Vortmax: Right?
(11/08 15:38:44) Eleri: anything the DRC needs from the explorers?
(11/08 15:38:46) CAGrayWolf: I'll post the chat log if Vort doesn't beat me to it.
(11/08 15:38:59) Dr. Kodama: Yes.
(11/08 15:39:07) Marie Sutherland: sounds correct.
(11/08 15:39:37) Dr. Kodama: Very well, I think we're done.
(11/08 15:39:47) CAGrayWolf: Great, this has cleared up so much.

(11/08 15:41:40) Vortmax: Thanks. I'll pass that on.

(08/10 10:11:52) DRCLVortmax1: So, do you have any questions to answer that were
(08/10 10:12:28) randomos: Yes, Wolfie sent me some questions I can start with

(08/10 10:14:25) randomos: Answer: GameTap will be offering a free version of Uru L
introducing our friends to the Cavern.
(08/10 10:15:01) randomos: I'm not sure exactly what will be open to the free accounts
(08/10 10:15:26) randomos: that's my understanding now. So this will give us all a cha
(08/10 10:15:58) randomos: at least, I find it really hard to describe in words what's so
show it to new people.
(08/10 10:16:53) randomos: OK Second Question: This is the one you really all want t
do Beta?"
(08/10 10:17:30) randomos: Answer: This is mostly being determined by the engineeri
(08/10 10:17:54) randomos: limited numbers of people in soon, in order of Beta signup
(08/10 10:18:25) randomos: the testing is going, with the intention of creating ideal tes
(08/10 10:19:03) randomos: people as soon as we can, but the main goal is testing, and
the testing go faster.
(08/10 10:19:47) randomos: The next question follows on that: "What exactly does the
Christmas?
(08/10 10:20:24) randomos: Answer: Well, yes, lol.

(08/10 10:24:59) randomos: We're not really looking at a lot of new features yet, and m
complicated aspects to it, in how it's implemented.
(08/10 10:25:27) randomos: So, it's known that this is important to people, but it's prob
(08/10 10:25:59) randomos: One thing to remember is that showing support for Cyan w
is not out yet,
(08/10 10:26:23) randomos: which makes signups now that much more meaningful... t
more
(08/10 10:26:42) randomos: funding is available for new engineers, and new features.
(08/10 10:27:13) randomos: have shown their support through these years... Cyan know
(08/10 10:27:49) randomos: and a footnote from me... I think hugs will come, before to
it were!
(08/10 10:28:05) DRCLVortmax1: I'd like to add that Cosmic Osmo and The Manhole
and surely that will be worth paying for until Live comes out! :)
(08/10 10:28:13) randomos: We're starting a new home, one that could be here for yea
(08/10 10:29:39) DRCLVortmax1: So are you ready to take some questions now, Ron
*NOTE: Right here is where Ron vanished and Vort and I answered some of the quest
(08/10 10:32:40) DRCLVortmax1: Just to reiterate it: If you're in the US, signing up fo
Cyan.
(08/10 10:33:06) DRCLVortmax1: They have about 600 games, plus the GameTap TV
(08/10 10:33:39) DRCLVortmax1: And with Cosmic Osmo and The Manhole coming
ends, you should have something worth paying for, even if you haven't found anything
(08/10 10:33:48) walt: is UU on gametap now?
(08/10 10:34:07) DRCLVortmax1: No walt, but they do have Myst, Riven, Myst 3, an

(08/10 10:36:23) CAGrayWolf: You also get the first month free by using the UrU Liv
(08/10 10:36:33) DRCLVortmax1: The more support we show for Cyan now, the more
(08/10 10:40:37) CAGrayWolf: It worked great for me because I wasn't planning on su
free month it still works out the same.
*NOTE: Ron was able to get back to the meeting from here on.
(08/10 10:41:26) DRCLVortmax1: So are you ready to take some questions now?
(08/10 10:41:42) randomos: one more preloaded one, that is important:
(08/10 10:42:09) randomos: Question: "Will there be a payment alternatived to Credit
(08/10 10:42:46) randomos: Answer: We're working on that... Theproblem is that the b
(08/10 10:43:22) randomos: division of Turner... so it's a major change even to add new
(08/10 10:43:32) randomos: that this is important and is working on it.
(08/10 10:43:49) randomos: Ooops, one more- sorry
(08/10 10:44:28) randomos: Question: "How will Uru Live and it's community integra
be a Cavern Action
(08/10 10:44:38) randomos: news segmenton GameTap TV?
(08/10 10:45:15) randomos: I think Uru Live and the Uru community will add a lot to
for them.
(08/10 10:45:39) randomos: and who knows? An Uru channel some day maybe? We're
(08/10 10:48:28) walt: I was just wondering about the signup for gametap on the Uru L
up that way?
(08/10 10:49:04) randomos: yes, absolutely, and it's much appreciated. Next?
(08/10 10:49:11) DRCLVortmax1: Some of those who have signed up for GameTap h
Will they have to use their GameTap login for their avatar name in Uru Live, or will it
(08/10 10:50:37) randomos: I will have to double check this, but I'd guess that GameT
However,
(08/10 10:51:18) randomos: I believe we will be able to have more than one sub accou
avatar,
(08/10 10:52:07) randomos: or families can share an account- this is all still being wor
definitive. Next?
(08/10 10:52:21) Swimmery4: If someone were to sign up for GameTap through the U
that they don't start paying for it), would it still show the same support as continuing to
for GameTap right now.
(08/10 10:53:45) randomos: Well, all of those numbers will be tracked, and the cancell
important to do what you can, and appreciated.
(08/10 10:55:11) randomos: Of course, there's a financial piece to it too... we do have t
(08/10 10:55:31) randomos: bit helps. So does telling friends, lol. Next?
(08/10 10:55:58) Ford Prefect: I know it's early yet, but can you give us some idea how
(08/10 10:56:44) randomos: Well, my understanding is it's going well. But I'm not dire
(08/10 10:56:58) randomos: But they've seemed pretty happy lately! Next?
(08/10 10:57:09) Islander: If cavern names will be the same as GameTap names, what
don't sign up to GameTap, but just UL? In fact, what will the whole process be like for
(08/10 10:58:06) randomos: Good question, and this is still being worked out. I think t
(08/10 10:58:36) randomos: there are or will be international participants in the Beta, w
details. Nex?
(08/10 10:58:56) walt: will people have to buy the boxed version of the game, in addit
(08/10 10:59:46) randomos: My understanding is that Uru Live will be part of the Gam
download with subscription. And
(08/10 10:59:59) randomos: there will be a free trial version too. Next?
(08/10 11:00:04) CAGrayWolf: Ron, will GameTap be offering at some point subscrip
payment plans?
(08/10 11:01:11) randomos: I can't answer this for certain yet, but we are working on i
so there's a fair
(08/10 11:01:38) randomos: amount yet to be worked out, but GameTap is listening to
get heard.
(08/10 11:01:53) randomos: So, I'm confident it will happen. Next?

(08/10 22:00:26) randomos: with some of th eTMP folks there (Hi Soosi and June!)
(08/10 22:01:08) randomos: GameTap approached me to help out with bringing back U

(08/10 22:01:33) randomos: of Celia Pearce, aka Artemesia, and Grey Dragon. So I've
(08/10 22:01:39) randomos: Mostly my role now
(08/10 22:02:04) randomos: is to listen to you and relay your input upstairs... GameTa

(08/10 22:03:22) randomos: Shall we start with questions?
(08/10 22:03:40) DRCLVortmax1: First, could you talk a bit more about what you do
(08/10 22:03:57) DRCLVortmax1: Basically, what's the job description? :D
(08/10 22:04:30) randomos: Yes, certainly- well, I sort of see my role as similar in man
(08/10 22:04:58) randomos: I try to help the community make it's wants and needs kno
versa
(08/10 22:05:34) randomos: This is really a partnership in many ways, and I try to help
(08/10 22:05:58) randomos: I'm also starting to talk to the GameTap folks about what
(08/10 22:06:19) randomos: community- I think there's a lot of opportunity there to cre
(08/10 22:06:43) randomos: I'm sort of the voice of the community, in many ways... m
(08/10 22:06:51) randomos: Does that help?
(08/10 22:07:02) DRCLVortmax1: Yes, that's quite informative!
(08/10 22:07:10) DRCLVortmax1: So, let's start with Dalken!
(08/10 22:07:37) DRCLVortmax1: Dalken?
(08/10 22:07:57) Dalken Starbyne: I'm still planning of using the UruLive.com link to
around to helping me with credit card stuff etc. *sigh*) but I was wondering...sorry, try
(08/10 22:08:42) DRCLVortmax1: Dalken, do you need more time?
(08/10 22:09:02) DRCLVortmax1: Okay, moving on, Reme?
(08/10 22:09:09) Reme: Will beta testers be needed after URU has gone live? New age
(08/10 22:09:50) randomos: That's a good question, and one properly for the Cyan folk
The need to test new content will be ongoing...
(08/10 22:10:01) randomos: Which is very exciting! Next?
(08/10 22:10:04) DRCLVortmax1: AllMyst?
(08/10 22:10:07) AllMyst: What kind of players has Gametap been attracting so far? T
players? In other words, what kinds of games have seen the most action on Gametap?
(08/10 22:10:39) randomos: Good question... let me answer in two parts
(08/10 22:11:11) randomos: first, I havent' seen that yet- the breakdown of their existin
(08/10 22:11:46) randomos: look pretty familiar- probably older than most gamers, and
member for a while, and enjoyed it.
(08/10 22:12:07) randomos: the real answer is I'm very curious... but very optimistic to
(08/10 22:12:25) randomos: that I sort of want to get people thinking about (being a co
(08/10 22:12:46) randomos: well, we all need to help the community grow, that's impo
(08/10 22:12:56) randomos: the fact that it will be growing a lot.
(08/10 22:13:21) randomos: I think this is a good thing, and much as we found new fri
think
(08/10 22:13:45) randomos: we'll find the same thing happening this time- lots of peop
(08/10 22:13:58) randomos: and who will become new friends and community membe
(08/10 22:14:02) DRCLVortmax1: Remember, if you have a question, PM me with 'qu
turn!
(08/10 22:14:05) IanWatson: A friend of mine recently spoke about how many MMOR

missing "vital" element?
(08/10 22:15:00) randomos: Great question... I think that this community has been incr
(08/10 22:15:30) randomos: finding those kinds of activities with the Cavern as it is to
day parade
(08/10 22:15:55) randomos: or any of the creative and exciting things people have disc
(08/10 22:16:57) randomos: that as the story unfolds, we'll continue to have a meaning
(08/10 22:17:28) randomos: should be very fun too. But also... I want to learn, really...
Cavern?
(08/10 22:17:51) randomos: Friendships... certainly. Well, this is a big question for me
(08/10 22:18:29) randomos: to relay to GameTap and Cyan as best I can. Talk to me la
with... Next?
(08/10 22:18:35) DRCLVortmax1: GingerDiva?

(08/10 22:19:33) randomos: All international community members are included.
(08/10 22:19:55) randomos: As I gather you know... we're from all over, lol
(08/10 22:20:01) randomos: Next?
(08/10 22:20:05) DRCLVortmax1: Dalken?
(08/10 22:20:20) Dalken Starbyne: I'm still planning on unsing the UruLive.com link t
get around to helping me with credit card stuff, etc. *sigh*), but I was wondering if the
of people are signing up for GameTap via the Uru Live link so far
(08/10 22:20:57) randomos: I think the response so far has been very good. Honestly
(08/10 22:21:24) randomos: I'd love to see more though... the more signups, the more t
(08/10 22:21:42) randomos: will want to support Cyan- that's what it all really amount

(09/16 10:09:39) J'Kla: Personaly I'm looking to create conditional episodic released te
for
(09/16 10:09:43) Whilyam: I would like to be able to create Ages more easily from ins

(09/16 10:10:09) Mattias: An ocean seems like the base of an age...
(09/16 10:10:11) inspector gadget: like eder kemo,and you add bahro and some houses
(09/16 10:10:15) Gadren: one thing i would like would be to make Relto a kind of cen
make their own relto pages and give them to friends...
(09/16 10:10:20) Whilyam: Using a system sort of like what I've seen in the Spore dem
(09/16 10:10:31) inspector gadget: yes,a new menu for it perhaps???
(09/16 10:10:33) Gadren: one problem i have with Relto right now is that all the pages

(09/16 10:10:42) inspector gadget: ?
(09/16 10:10:53) Myridean: Does the DRC have a collection development policy for th

(09/16 10:11:14) Mattias: true that

(09/16 10:11:30) Whilyam: Yeah, maybe like different types of trees. A new shape of
(09/16 10:11:40) inspector gadget: new clothes
(09/16 10:11:43) Gadren: what i mean is that Relto development is rather linear, where
like to see things where you have to choose what to put on limited space, so you can re
(09/16 10:11:47) Eric L: Okay, so what I'm hearing is that you'd like to not only create
existing places, is that it?
(09/16 10:11:54) _predator_: Yah spikes and studs
(09/16 10:12:09) Gadren: that way, it really branches out and it becomes what yeesha s
(09/16 10:12:12) Myridean: For instance, personal ages were not part of the library col
New Writers of D'ni library
(09/16 10:12:15) inspector gadget: a bowtie if its a birthday
(09/16 10:12:23) _predator_: Yeah good idea
(09/16 10:12:35) _predator_: Each member has a hut
(09/16 10:13:02) _predator_: And at christmas lights appear and when it's their b-day t
(09/16 10:13:02) Mattias: Individual Realto is fine, but what about new ages? I'd like t
(09/16 10:13:14) J'Kla: We have allready prooved we were able to have new text in bo
was based on actions eluded to in the text.
(09/16 10:13:15) Eric L: Myridean, I tend to think of the Nexus as a sort of library. Ar
(09/16 10:13:48) Myridean: Something more browsable perhaps like a real library with
(09/16 10:14:01) Eric L: J'kla, so what you'd like to do is create journals that other peo
(09/16 10:14:10) _predator_: Yeha
(09/16 10:14:14) Mattias: that, yes
(09/16 10:14:17) Whilyam: I would like to be able to do that as well
(09/16 10:14:22) J'Kla: Yes but conditional
(09/16 10:14:23) _predator_: Each person has his own customizeable journal
(09/16 10:14:35) inspector gadget: cool
(09/16 10:14:39) Marten: So, you're asking for MySpace or LiveJournal, in Uru? :)
(09/16 10:14:39) Whilyam: Perhaps even be able to write a note and lay it on the groun
(09/16 10:14:41) Mattias: How about the ability to write notes and drop them?
(09/16 10:14:46) Mattias: haha
(09/16 10:14:48) Gadren: I agree; it would be nice if we could write things on paper an
(09/16 10:14:50) J'Kla: you complete certain actions to release the next chapter
(09/16 10:14:56) inspector gadget: ah
(09/16 10:15:05) _predator_: uru myspace would b kool
(09/16 10:15:05) inspector gadget: like dragonfable
(09/16 10:15:07) J'Kla: we wanted to link it to fixed marker missions
(09/16 10:15:17) Eric L: Ah, so you're thinking a bit more like Sharper's journal in the
(09/16 10:15:19) _predator_: Ick dragonfable
(09/16 10:15:27) inspector gadget: ?
(09/16 10:15:48) J'Kla: we were able to use some of the stuff lying around like the feat
(09/16 10:15:49) Myridean: Right now, links to new ages are only being added as page
(09/16 10:16:12) Eric L: (Apologies if I don't respond to someone's suggestion. This sc
won't miss it on the second pass. ;) )
(09/16 10:16:38) _predator_: How bout a soccer stadium w/a each ball or other soccer
(09/16 10:16:39) J'Kla: we dropped a simple clue on sharpers journal everything after
(09/16 10:16:57) inspector gadget: presents you get when its cristmas or halloween
(09/16 10:17:10) J'Kla: we used the city journeys
(09/16 10:17:14) _predator_: Yeah like clothes or ages
(09/16 10:17:17) J'Kla: cloths
(09/16 10:17:32) inspector gadget: i would like that
(09/16 10:17:38) J'Kla: journey cloths currently hidden in the city
(09/16 10:17:43) inspector gadget: i never played it :(
(09/16 10:17:50) inspector gadget: thats cool
(09/16 10:18:06) Gadren: i think it would be great if we could upload patterns for shirt
way it could be done without having to download a million updates all the time
(09/16 10:18:06) inspector gadget: the guild
(09/16 10:18:15) J'Kla: I wanted to make use of the hidden number in the picture in the
(09/16 10:18:16) Eric L: Okay, I should mention that we're talking about things that pl
things that Cyan creates.
(09/16 10:18:29) _predator_: How bout a mansion where everybody has a room
(09/16 10:18:33) Marten: And provent people from uploading offensive content, Gadre
(09/16 10:18:40) Marten: Er, prevent.
(09/16 10:19:01) Whilyam: for Engberg
(09/16 10:19:01) Mattias: who would check that...?
(09/16 10:19:02) _predator_: Spam & vulgarity
(09/16 10:19:06) Eric L: That is another thing I wanted to ask about. How would peop
handled?
(09/16 10:19:09) _predator_: G2g sry by
(09/16 10:19:14) Eric L: Would people want to filter it themselves, and if so how?
(09/16 10:19:17) Mattias: like what?
(09/16 10:19:19) _predator_: Cya l8er
(09/16 10:19:22) J'Kla: at the moment we can only use cyans droppings for flags
(09/16 10:19:26) Gadren: I like that idea, predator...I remember playing the old text-ba
how each guild member had his own customizable room
(09/16 10:19:30) Whilyam: Perhaps a Guild to oversee that?
(09/16 10:19:41) inspector gadget: yes,THW GUILD
(09/16 10:19:41) Mattias: yeah
(09/16 10:19:51) Whilyam: All submissions to the Guild who approves them and send
(09/16 10:19:51) J'Kla: the stuff that was around when live one died
(09/16 10:19:55) inspector gadget: in the city,close to the thent
(09/16 10:20:00) Gadren: i don't know how comfortable i am with the idea of people p
(09/16 10:20:11) Myridean: Guilds with different ratings
(09/16 10:20:15) Whilyam: It's either they ploice it or Cyan does.
(09/16 10:20:19) Gadren: we've had some problems in UU before when people wanted
(09/16 10:20:19) Whilyam: police*
(09/16 10:20:30) inspector gadget: or that we can cook
(09/16 10:20:32) Whilyam: This would be sanctioned by Cyan, however
(09/16 10:20:32) Mattias: But there would have to be someone to check new ages befo
(09/16 10:20:41) Whilyam: Not some nut deciding what's right or not
(09/16 10:20:46) Eric L: At the very least to make sure they don't blow up on people. :
(09/16 10:20:47) Shonda: It's not fair to lay a policing job on Cyan. Approval... maybe
(09/16 10:20:53) inspector gadget: someone from UU
(09/16 10:21:22) Whilyam: A simple guild could even simply enforce rules made by C
(09/16 10:21:23) J'Kla: United shards were onboard for my story but it's on hold becus
(09/16 10:21:24) Marten: I think Whilyam's idea is inevitable unless Cyan takes on tha
to be devoting their resources to such things. It's a tough topic.
(09/16 10:21:28) Eric L: Okay, I think this is probably a good thing to talk about. Let's
protected from offensive content while other people can still be free to create.
(09/16 10:21:43) Myridean: On another MMO I currently subscribe to, people conduct
harassment then it should be dealt by a petition to a GM
(09/16 10:21:52) inspector gadget: your own filter
(09/16 10:22:16) Gadren: perhaps when someone sees someone wearing a shirt, they c
on the pattern...then, they could click a button which marked it as "safe" or "not safe"
(09/16 10:22:21) J'Kla: We had indy create a loader that meant that content was server
(09/16 10:22:22) inspector gadget: you can customize a filter,and you can report peopl
(09/16 10:22:24) Whilyam: The other way would be to simply post rules and guideline
let Cyan knock off those who disobey
(09/16 10:22:35) inspector gadget: yes
(09/16 10:22:44) Mattias: yeah
(09/16 10:22:44) Eric L: Okay, I'm seeing three ideas so far. A guild that approves all
content, and a way for users to be able to choose what they see or don't see.
(09/16 10:22:45) Whilyam: But there's a question over whether people would follow th
(09/16 10:22:54) Gadren: then, over time, offensive clothes would get an "unsafe" ratin
unsafe content, it shows upas a blank shirt for them
(09/16 10:23:05) inspector gadget: yea
(09/16 10:23:07) Whilyam: Yeah
(09/16 10:23:11) inspector gadget: a filter
(09/16 10:23:15) J'Kla: see server side loader
(09/16 10:23:18) Whilyam: (I seem more enthusiastic then I am :P)
(09/16 10:23:32) Eric L: That's an interesting idea. A way that people can "rate" conten
(09/16 10:23:33) Gadren: i go to a website called YTMND where people make humor
SFW or NSFW "(not) safe for work"
(09/16 10:24:09) Reelah: is this being logged?
(09/16 10:24:10) Gadren: there can also be a way to rate content and make those who m
known
(09/16 10:24:15) Eric L: And then a corresponding filter where people can select the th
to see.
(09/16 10:24:17) Gadren: i'm logging this meeting...
(09/16 10:24:18) J'Kla: I've got no problem with my stuff going through peer approova
(09/16 10:24:23) Reelah: ok
(09/16 10:24:24) inspector gadget: yes, like newgrounds
(09/16 10:24:28) Reelah: thaakns gadren
(09/16 10:25:05) Whilyam: Most of this stuff could be implemented now without muc
(09/16 10:25:16) Eric L: Would we just want people to flag something as offensive, or
positive and negative ratings?
(09/16 10:25:23) Whilyam: Most of us are moral enough to know what to put and not
(09/16 10:25:23) inspector gadget: yes
(09/16 10:25:24) Reelah: both
(09/16 10:25:29) J'Kla: we do realy need some sort of admin
(09/16 10:25:40) Whilyam: Both
(09/16 10:25:50) Reelah: i have a question
(09/16 10:25:55) Whilyam: So goo people aren't merely not bad, but good
(09/16 10:25:57) inspector gadget: when youre good,you can be a admin
(09/16 10:25:58) Gadren: i think that both would be best...you see a shirt, you're like "
you're like "eww" and you downvote it ormark it as nsfw
(09/16 10:26:00) Eric L: Okay, Reelah. I'll answer if I can.
(09/16 10:26:12) Reelah: its unrelaped
(09/16 10:26:18) Reelah: whoops
(09/16 10:26:23) Eric L: Hmmm... In that case PM it to me. :)
(09/16 10:26:48) Eric L: Okay, so who likes the idea of a rating system for content?
(09/16 10:26:50) inspector gadget: why not have a couple of good people be admin
(09/16 10:26:58) inspector gadget: yes i like it
(09/16 10:27:03) Mattias: yeah, I like it
(09/16 10:27:03) Shonda: I like it, Eric
(09/16 10:27:05) Whilyam: I do. Along with other ways
(09/16 10:27:07) Gadren: i like it...i just think that by moving approval things to the "f
lot of busy work from Cyan
(09/16 10:27:14) J'Kla: yes rating is a good call
(09/16 10:27:20) inspector gadget: yehaaaaa
(09/16 10:27:21) Kimmie Hawk: I like it
(09/16 10:27:30) Whilyam: Along with a fan approval process
(09/16 10:27:49) J'Kla: I would prefer a closed group
(09/16 10:27:54) inspector gadget: when its good, everyone can get it
(09/16 10:28:02) Whilyam: If something somehow makes it past that, then the rating s
(09/16 10:28:02) J'Kla: ok fan appointed but closed
(09/16 10:28:09) Whilyam: Yeah
(09/16 10:28:17) inspector gadget: yes
(09/16 10:28:22) Whilyam: Not like a wiki or anything
(09/16 10:28:23) Eric L: Okay, what about more than one "level" of approval?
(09/16 10:28:25) Shonda: You could also instigate a time measure to the creation proc
(09/16 10:28:42) Gadren: what do you mean, Shonda?
(09/16 10:28:43) Eric L: Say, the first one is "doesn't blow up", and another one is "no
(09/16 10:28:48) Whilyam: Sounds good. the Guild approval and then the ratin approv
(09/16 10:28:49) Gadren nods his head
(09/16 10:28:53) Whilyam: ah
(09/16 10:28:56) Whilyam: yeah sounds great
(09/16 10:29:00) Reelah: but the tree growth created major problewms for ssome ppl
(09/16 10:29:01) inspector gadget: cool
(09/16 10:29:01) Shonda: We had to play the game for X amount of time before the tre
(09/16 10:29:13) Whilyam: also perhaps quality?
(09/16 10:29:17) Shonda: It could be the same with adding/creating thing.
(09/16 10:29:18) inspector gadget: yea
(09/16 10:29:19) Myridean: I agree as long as in the end, a client controlled filter enab
with the content
(09/16 10:29:21) Eric L: Can anyone think of any other approval "levels" that might be
(09/16 10:29:27) Whilyam: like screen out the fuzzy bitmaps, etc.?
(09/16 10:29:43) edwin: hello all
(09/16 10:29:43) Reelah: extremely offensive
(09/16 10:29:55) Myridean: ESRB Ratings would be good
(09/16 10:29:57) Gadren: perhaps IC/OOC stuff?
(09/16 10:29:57) inspector gadget: not to bad
(09/16 10:30:04) Whilyam: Perhaps "quality" could replace non-offensive since offens
(09/16 10:30:06) inspector gadget: ic/ooc?
(09/16 10:30:07) Gadren: like, a D'ni-like chair would be IC...
(09/16 10:30:20) Reelah: yes i like the IC/OOC ida
(09/16 10:30:21) Gadren: but a gigantic monster robot would be OOC
(09/16 10:30:29) inspector gadget: yes,it is
(09/16 10:30:36) Whilyam: Not too many applications, though
(09/16 10:30:37) Reelah: in cavern or in charector IG
(09/16 10:30:46) Gadren: by marking ages and objects that way, we could have a degr
roleplay
(09/16 10:30:51) Reelah: out of cavern or out of charector
(09/16 10:30:57) inspector gadget: ?
(09/16 10:31:06) Mattias: but we're in the real wqorld. We have to be able to put giant
(09/16 10:31:10) J'Kla: There's things we looked at as rewards for game progress
(09/16 10:31:25) J'Kla: these would also need approoval
(09/16 10:31:34) Eric L: Actually, that is another aspect of Uru Live. You are you. Thi
own stories your way. :)
(09/16 10:31:36) inspector gadget: rewards
(09/16 10:31:43) Gadren: oh, i wasn't talking about shirts there, mattias...i mean model
(09/16 10:31:51) Mattias: ah
(09/16 10:31:52) inspector gadget: good idea
(09/16 10:32:07) inspector gadget: like getting a gameboy
(09/16 10:32:13) J'Kla: I have one story that paints its own history
(09/16 10:32:24) inspector gadget: how?
(09/16 10:32:37) J'Kla: it would be nice to allow others to walk through that history
(09/16 10:33:05) inspector gadget: or a age that follows a story
(09/16 10:33:09) Eric L: Sounds interesting. Is it completely independent of the D'ni h
(09/16 10:33:31) J'Kla: I would also like to do a story that was set in the future of the c
(09/16 10:33:45) inspector gadget: like: "he fell" and you fall as well
(09/16 10:33:45) Gadren: and, not only could we have IC/OOC tihngs, but maybe even
could approve and work into te canon
(09/16 10:33:45) Reelah: like when it is restored?
(09/16 10:33:49) Eric L: Hmmm... Uru Sci-fi... :)
(09/16 10:33:59) inspector gadget: lol
(09/16 10:34:06) inspector gadget: get a stargate
(09/16 10:34:11) Mattias: I'm not too keen on that idea
(09/16 10:34:13) Reelah: oooooooo
(09/16 10:34:28) Reelah: why?
(09/16 10:34:29) Eric L: Okay, that gets into another thing I wanted to talk about.
(09/16 10:34:30) inspector gadget: and we can go to Atlantis
(09/16 10:34:32) Whilyam: I would also like to find a way to get fan-made storylines i
(09/16 10:34:42) Reelah: yes Eric?
(09/16 10:34:55) Whilyam: It seems these days everyone hates fan stories and so most
interaction.
(09/16 10:35:13) Eric L: One of the ideas I've heard is for people to have more freedom
stuff that's publicly available.
(09/16 10:35:21) inspector gadget: why not have some quests
(09/16 10:35:24) Eric L: How do you feel about that, and how do you think that could
(09/16 10:35:30) Reelah: yes
(09/16 10:35:33) Reelah: definatly
(09/16 10:35:37) Whilyam: I'm not sure I understand
(09/16 10:35:38) Gadren: what kinds of things do you mean, Eric?
(09/16 10:35:58) inspector gadget: like THE SIMS
(09/16 10:36:04) Reelah: aaaahhhhhhhh
(09/16 10:36:09) Whilyam: You mean creating new things, not just editing Cyan stuff?
(09/16 10:36:10) Eric L: Well, say you create some kind of content just for yourself an
share it with the whole world.
(09/16 10:36:22) Reelah: yes i like that idea
(09/16 10:36:28) Whilyam: That would be odd
(09/16 10:36:30) inspector gadget: yesgo ahead
(09/16 10:36:33) Shonda: That would be a good idea
(09/16 10:36:39) Whilyam: Why would I make anything if not to share it?
(09/16 10:37:00) Gadren: that would be good, too...
(09/16 10:37:07) Shonda: We could share if we wanted - and others could go/see if the
(09/16 10:37:09) Myridean: Perhaps some might take offense to an object you make
(09/16 10:37:19) Eric L: Well, say you were making something that may not be fit for
creative view.
(09/16 10:37:21) Whilyam: How would it be approved, then?
(09/16 10:37:21) Reelah: then dont give it to them
(09/16 10:37:23) Gadren: when making something, you could choose whether it to go
(09/16 10:37:34) inspector gadget: make your own paintings
(09/16 10:37:42) Reelah: pies
(09/16 10:37:52) Myridean: It could be hood related
(09/16 10:37:52) inspector gadget: food
(09/16 10:37:55) Shonda: Or it could be presented as a linking page and someone coul
(09/16 10:38:01) Whilyam: But if it was offensive then how would it be approved by t
(09/16 10:38:04) inspector gadget: yes
(09/16 10:38:06) Reelah: oh how about we having usful arms?
(09/16 10:38:23) inspector gadget: or we can lift stuff
(09/16 10:38:27) J'Kla: User interaction with artifacts could be useful
(09/16 10:38:31) Whilyam: Yes
(09/16 10:38:32) Myridean: Just as people get invitations to join a hood you are a mem
to have to access to that content
(09/16 10:38:34) Shonda: The ability to use avatar arms would be nice... to be able to p
(09/16 10:38:44) Gadren: whilyam, i see an approval guild as approving things technic
(09/16 10:38:47) J'Kla: I also have puzzles that are ripe for embedding
(09/16 10:38:50) Reelah: i like that Myridean
(09/16 10:39:00) Whilyam: Who would approve the content itself, then?
(09/16 10:39:04) inspector gadget: me
(09/16 10:39:07) Gadren: we would let the public decide what's offensive and what's n
(09/16 10:39:08) J'Kla: things like the D'niDoku
(09/16 10:39:08) Reelah: lol
(09/16 10:39:16) Whilyam: Ah..
(09/16 10:39:19) Eric L: Well, if it's private to a person or a small group of people, wo
(09/16 10:39:27) inspector gadget: yes
(09/16 10:39:28) Gadren: and then, over time, offensive things would be pushed away
their own group, they could
(09/16 10:39:29) Reelah: i dont really think so
(09/16 10:39:43) Whilyam: Sounds good.
(09/16 10:39:45) Reelah: unless its reallly bad
(09/16 10:39:49) Whilyam: What's private is private
(09/16 10:39:58) inspector gadget: yes
(09/16 10:39:59) Reelah: but this is rated E
(09/16 10:40:00) Gadren: i like that kind of freedom to let people do some things in pr
long as it's hidden by default
(09/16 10:40:02) Myridean: It goes back to the hood rating system
(09/16 10:40:19) Mattias: Haha, An X-rated hood :)
(09/16 10:40:20) Reelah: but like no reeeaaalllllyyyy bad things
(09/16 10:40:31) inspector gadget: no bad stuff
(09/16 10:40:37) Eric L: You mean like stuff that crashes Uru? :)
(09/16 10:40:43) inspector gadget: yes
(09/16 10:40:53) Whilyam: Again, offensive stuff is apparently not being filtered, so..
(09/16 10:40:55) J'Kla: x rated hood would bring issues of public accountability
(09/16 10:40:58) Reelah: like political opinions are good
(09/16 10:41:11) Reelah: i mean not crashes but content
(09/16 10:41:17) inspector gadget: bud taking over the world...bad
(09/16 10:41:41) Whilyam: I say everything should be screened for offensive material
let out into any area where it could be seen by other people.
(09/16 10:41:42) Reelah: or like really sick idease
(09/16 10:41:48) Eric L: Well, what if it weren't so much restricted to a 'hood as to som
(09/16 10:41:57) Whilyam: People can still get to Relto
(09/16 10:42:05) Eric L: Only if personally invited.
(09/16 10:42:11) inspector gadget: yes
(09/16 10:42:13) Whilyam: True. same for a hood though
(09/16 10:42:20) Gadren: Whilyam, i think that having the controls too strict will end
backlog
(09/16 10:42:20) inspector gadget: i have a question
(09/16 10:42:34) J'Kla: you have to be aware invited or not minors are still minors
(09/16 10:42:49) Eric L: Very true, J'kla.
(09/16 10:42:51) Reelah: yes
(09/16 10:42:53) inspector gadget: i have a question
(09/16 10:42:58) J'Kla: easier to block this content
(09/16 10:42:59) Reelah: thats what im saying too
(09/16 10:43:03) Whilyam: and Gadren, I don't think banning offensive material will s
(09/16 10:43:04) Reelah: IG?
(09/16 10:43:14) Eric L: Maybe still have ways for people to filter even on private stuf
(09/16 10:43:18) Eric L: Fire away, Inspector. :)
(09/16 10:43:21) Gadren: true, Whilyam, but having to approve each and every object
(09/16 10:43:22) Reelah: i think the inspector has a question
(09/16 10:43:30) Whilyam: That's why the fans would do it
(09/16 10:43:46) inspector gadget: how are we gonna do all of this stuff anyway?how
(09/16 10:44:00) inspector gadget: do we have to download something?
(09/16 10:44:04) J'Kla: thats erics problem
(09/16 10:44:11) J'Kla: lol
(09/16 10:44:12) Eric L: You mean on the technical end?
(09/16 10:44:22) Mattias: Is all user created content going to get stored on public serve
(09/16 10:44:26) Whilyam: Perhaps those who filter out fan-made content wouldn't ha
(09/16 10:44:42) Whilyam: So those who might have problems downloading all the stu
(09/16 10:44:51) Eric L: I think that's a hurdle to be jumped when development starts.
(09/16 10:45:04) J'Kla: yes selective download is an option
(09/16 10:45:07) inspector gadget: ok
(09/16 10:45:14) Whilyam: Perhaps even break it down by catagory
(09/16 10:45:24) inspector gadget: like a filter
(09/16 10:45:36) Whilyam: like "guild clothes" on but "member-specific shirts" off
(09/16 10:45:45) inspector gadget: yes
(09/16 10:45:46) Gadren: yah, these kinds of things would be determined when you're
etc)
(09/16 10:45:58) J'Kla: when we ran our beta it was python the file was e-mailed
(09/16 10:46:02) Reelah: yes
(09/16 10:46:04) Eric L: Yeah, that might could fit into the rating system we talked ab
(09/16 10:46:15) J'Kla: indy wrote a loader that solved the hacker issue
(09/16 10:46:26) Gadren: so you could list it so that, say, "safe for work" items are the
(09/16 10:46:27) Reelah: indy the greeter?
(09/16 10:46:37) inspector gadget: indyana jones?
(09/16 10:47:01) J'Kla: indy is a dutch python coder
(09/16 10:47:08) Reelah: ooo
(09/16 10:47:11) J'Kla: a good one
(09/16 10:47:15) inspector gadget: ah,and whats python?
(09/16 10:47:15) Whilyam: Also, a thing to check for in the content might be "original
works or stuff from outside the Uru world.
(09/16 10:47:34) Reelah: yes
(09/16 10:47:38) Whilyam: To keep people from making a Spongebob world :P
(09/16 10:47:44) Mattias: This is hard..
(09/16 10:47:45) Eric L: In other words, no Pokemon running around someone's Age?
(09/16 10:47:48) Marten: Yeah. Copyright issues.... could be a problem.
(09/16 10:47:50) Whilyam: Right
(09/16 10:47:53) Reelah: yeah
(09/16 10:47:58) J'Kla: One of the issues I am most concered about is stuff inside appe
(09/16 10:47:59) inspector gadget: bye pika
(09/16 10:48:00) Whilyam: Not even P'ohkehnmahn
(09/16 10:48:17) inspector gadget: poekymon
(09/16 10:48:51) Eric L: You mean like something built in someone's Age showing up
(09/16 10:48:56) Reelah: yes
(09/16 10:48:57) Whilyam: Town hall meeting, Justin
(09/16 10:49:00) Reelah: that would be bad
(09/16 10:49:09) inspector gadget: really bad
(09/16 10:49:13) Whilyam: Why bad?
(09/16 10:49:34) Gadren: issues of copyright are things that can be solved when they b
(09/16 10:49:35) J'Kla: plaigerisim is the dirty word of creative works
(09/16 10:49:40) Myridean: Eric, copyright question: fan created content would fall un
GameTap, Cyan or the age creator/age creation group?
(09/16 10:49:53) Reelah: if this is being loogged when its posted are someparts going
(09/16 10:50:07) Eric L: That's a good question, and I'm not entirely sure yet where the
to the legal eagles.
(09/16 10:50:14) Eric L: That being said, I would like to ask something related.
(09/16 10:50:21) Reelah: cause i want the raw log
(09/16 10:50:31) Reelah: never mind
(09/16 10:50:46) Eric L: Say that in order for Cyan to be on good legal footing, they h
created in the world. Do you think that would stifle what you create?
(09/16 10:50:47) inspector gadget: go ahead eric
(09/16 10:50:59) J'Kla: no
(09/16 10:50:59) inspector gadget: i guess so
(09/16 10:51:07) Whilyam: If that is the only way then that'sthe only way
(09/16 10:51:09) inspector gadget: im not so sure
(09/16 10:51:10) Shonda: It wouldn't bother me a bit.
(09/16 10:51:12) Mattias: I think Cyan should have the final word in everything
(09/16 10:51:17) inspector gadget: yes
(09/16 10:51:37) inspector gadget: what is liasons?
(09/16 10:51:38) J'Kla: I allways work inside the Myst/Cyan cannon without interferri
(09/16 10:51:42) Whilyam: Cyan should have SOME part in this. perhaps nothing mor
(09/16 10:51:44) Reelah: no justin
(09/16 10:52:09) Eric L: We're bouncing ideas around about players being able to crea
(09/16 10:52:12) Reelah: taking about fan created stuff and uru live
(09/16 10:52:14) J'Kla: at the moment Cyan say they want the fans to police this work
(09/16 10:52:23) J'Kla: they dont want the work load
(09/16 10:52:27) Whilyam: Right
(09/16 10:52:31) inspector gadget: ok
(09/16 10:52:37) Whilyam: but they WILL need to deal with it at some point
(09/16 10:52:38) Eric L: Well, a pint can't hold a quart. :)
(09/16 10:52:39) Reelah: yes that would be hard on them
(09/16 10:52:47) inspector gadget: yea
(09/16 10:52:56) Justin: is anyone here from Cyan?
(09/16 10:53:00) Whilyam: Yes
(09/16 10:53:05) Whilyam: Eric is, correct?
(09/16 10:53:07) Reelah: ca grey wolf is
(09/16 10:53:11) Reelah: i think...
(09/16 10:53:18) Gadren: i don't think so, Reelah
(09/16 10:53:20) Whilyam: We're probably both wrong
(09/16 10:53:23) Whilyam: :P
(09/16 10:53:24) Eric L: I'm a consultant for New Products at Turner. I work with Gam
(09/16 10:53:26) J'Kla: I have no issue with that thats why i would like fan aprooved c

(09/16 10:53:43) Reelah: i read that somewhere on a forum
(09/16 10:54:23) Shonda: If user created content was stored by the creator, would Cya
offensive to its own good?
(09/16 10:54:40) J'Kla: no
(09/16 10:54:47) inspector gadget: only if they have permission
(09/16 10:54:48) Shonda: No?
(09/16 10:54:55) Gadren: can you give me an example, Shonda?
(09/16 10:54:58) J'Kla: they could call for changes before it went public
(09/16 10:55:02) Eric L: Well, where content is stored, etc. is more of a development q

what their ratings are
(09/16 10:55:12) Shonda: Could they have the ability to detatch it from the game itself
(09/16 10:55:20) J'Kla: thats written into the fan licence
(09/16 10:55:44) inspector gadget: ????
(09/16 10:56:01) Whilyam: Cyan should have the final word in this. They obviously sh
regardless of any stifling that might happen.
(09/16 10:56:13) J'Kla: yep
(09/16 10:56:16) inspector gadget: yea,youre right......
(09/16 10:56:17) Eric L: Well, I doubt they'd be draconian about it. :)
(09/16 10:56:25) inspector gadget: draconian?
(09/16 10:56:32) Whilyam: strict
(09/16 10:56:33) Eric L: Overly strict.
(09/16 10:56:35) inspector gadget: ok
(09/16 10:56:45) J'Kla: but they do have editorial level control of the server(shard)
(09/16 10:56:51) Whilyam: I think so
(09/16 10:57:03) Whilyam: They should
(09/16 10:57:10) Whilyam: It's their shard, after all
(09/16 10:57:19) inspector gadget: yea
(09/16 10:57:21) Myridean: True but what has made Cyan different and stand out from
family oriented content
(09/16 10:57:38) J'Kla: and if the community asked for something to be removed they
(09/16 10:58:02) Myridean: Myst was created as a game for adults but it's not filled wi
(09/16 10:58:02) Whilyam: Right. And a guild would screen the stuff for anything offe
(09/16 10:58:08) Eric L: Or the creator is required to keep it private?
(09/16 10:58:08) Justin: I'm also having Gametap problems
(09/16 10:58:08) Shonda: I certainly think they should be able to do that, regardless of
(09/16 10:58:24) Gadren: Say, Eric L, is there a way to contact you after this meeting?
of my thoughts for user content
(09/16 10:58:50) Eric L: I'm on the Uru Live forums. You can PM me there.
(09/16 10:59:47) Eric L: Might have to ask them for a bigger inbox. :)
(09/16 11:00:31) Eric L: Okay, well, we're at about an hour, and I should be going soo
wants to shout out?
(09/16 11:00:45) Reelah: is there a place where the RAW RAW chatolg is posted? tota

(09/16 11:01:43) Gadren: well, all i can think, Eric, is that Cyan/Gametap should really

(09/16 22:26:49) DRCLVortmax1: Eric has that power.!
(09/16 22:26:51) Kam begins to bow and chant to Eric
(09/16 22:26:53) Eric L: okay, in the usual town hall meetings, you do most of the que

(09/16 22:26:54) DRCLVortmax1 nods his head

(09/16 22:27:13) Ehren: Eric? what happened to tapestry shard?
(09/16 22:27:41) Eric L: long story, Ehren. The short version is that I've been busy her
(09/16 22:28:07) To Eric L: Do you still want a queue for comments, or just run wild?
(09/16 22:28:22) Dalken Starbyne: Hide! It's the Uru Police! :P
(09/16 22:28:28) Kam: Anyone got a chatlog running. Thought I'd make sure ;)!
(09/16 22:28:29) From Eric L: Just let it run wild. We want to collect ideas.
(09/16 22:28:33) Sorceress: i do Kam!
(09/16 22:28:34) DRCLVortmax1: I have one :)!

(09/16 22:28:45) DRCLVortmax1: Okay, well, we're not going to worry about a queue
(09/16 22:28:49) vid: is it true that the DRC are secretly working on the black ops proj
(09/16 22:29:02) Kam: lol!
(09/16 22:29:08) Eric L chuckles
(09/16 22:29:14) Ehren: who is the person answering questions this townhall?
(09/16 22:29:15) Yutram: lol!
(09/16 22:29:37) Eric L: actually, that would be you, Ehren, as well as everyone else. :
(09/16 22:29:38) Kam: We're making suggestions. Not questions!
(09/16 22:30:03) Ehren: to who though?
(09/16 22:30:07) Eric L: just checking the time. Don't want to start the introduction un

(09/16 22:30:34) Kam: Er, right?!

(09/16 22:31:02) Janine claps her hands
(09/16 22:31:07) Dalken Starbyne applauds
(09/16 22:31:09) DRCLVortmax1: Tonight we've got Eric L here, who works for CNN
to help with the wonderful Myst Online: Uru Live!
(09/16 22:31:27) DRCLVortmax1: Whatever that is...!
(09/16 22:31:42) From Eric L: my turn?
(09/16 22:31:54) DRCLVortmax1: So Eric, first, tell us a bit about you and what you d
(09/16 22:32:07) Eric L: Thanks, Vort. :)!
(09/16 22:32:41) Eric L: Okay, I've been doing various things on the backend for Cyan

(09/16 22:33:04) Eric L: right now, my current project is doing research into the kinds
Uru world.!
(09/16 22:33:55) Eric L: Actual development on any tools is a ways off, as right now t
launch.!
(09/16 22:34:11) Eric L: so right now my job is to gather ideas from all of you.!
(09/16 22:34:51) Eric L: now, we're leaving the definition of "user generated content"
come up with as wide a range of ideas as they can.!
(09/16 22:35:15) DRCLVortmax1: So not just ages and textures, but things like machi
(09/16 22:35:37) Eric L: any ideas we can come up with. We'll probably have to narro
brainstorming time. :)!
(09/16 22:36:11) vid: so... we just.. go? >_>
(09/16 22:36:25) Eric L: so, to get started, what sort of things can you imagine creating
(09/16 22:36:34) Dalken Starbyne: Clothes!!
(09/16 22:36:34) vid: clothing!
(09/16 22:36:56) Eric L: (Don't worry about talking over someone else. I'm logging, so
realtime I won't lose it in the log. :)!
(09/16 22:36:56) Janine: hairstyles!!!
(09/16 22:36:58) vid: Relto furniture
(09/16 22:37:30) Dalken Starbyne: Our own Ages, of course!
(09/16 22:37:39) Eric L: okay, so I'm seeing ideas about ways to customize your avata
(09/16 22:37:42) vid: physical journals we can put in shelves
(09/16 22:37:44) DRCLVortmax1: Maybe more kickable things, like cones!
(09/16 22:37:47) Sorceress: how about an in-game library for fan-written works, like p
(09/16 22:37:49) Janine: Extra places for siting and gathering in the hoods
(09/16 22:37:54) DRCLVortmax1: (Reminder: /autoshout is good!)!
(09/16 22:38:23) vid: areas we can creat "layouts" for and save and have people play th
(09/16 22:38:44) vid: an age where buttons control walls that we can place as mazes...
(09/16 22:38:47) Kam: Okay Eric, then as someone who does machinima, I see the Ur
that potential could be strengthened by more emotive avatars. Things like being able to
type /impatient!
(09/16 22:38:49) Janine: yes more interactive character games!
(09/16 22:38:52) Sorceress: do those contests like the Inspired Verse one in Prologue!
(09/16 22:38:54) Eric L: okay, so being able to create your own journals, adding furnit
(09/16 22:38:55) Janine nods her head
(09/16 22:39:02) Ehren: maybe adjust how the sky looks in relto?
(09/16 22:39:18) vid: more interactive things, like "inspired verse" and the Gahreesen
(09/16 22:39:19) DRCLVortmax1: Remember, we're talking about things YOU can do
(09/16 22:39:48) DRCLVortmax1: Any ideas on what kind of tools you'd like?!
(09/16 22:39:55) Eric L: yeah, we're looking at people being able to create their own c
(09/16 22:40:02) Sorceress: audio recordings!
(09/16 22:40:05) Yutram: a movie recorder for the KI!
(09/16 22:40:07) Dalken Starbyne: Animation tools!
(09/16 22:40:27) Eric L: okay, so being able to record video?!
(09/16 22:40:41) Shonda: Video recording would be very good.!
(09/16 22:40:57) Kam: Also, more diverse ability with the camera view in 3rd person.
can get different angle shots of your avatar!
(09/16 22:41:02) DRCLVortmax1: It would be nice if we could create textures too, for
(09/16 22:41:07) Dalken Starbyne: Some kind of clothing creator, to make shirts, pant
(09/16 22:41:18) vid: a "data hub" where people can store and share photos, videos, an
"hub" with your KI and get photos from a friend who had to go offline, or even the new
(09/16 22:41:23) Eric L: okay, so let me ask you this. Would you rather things like ani
environment, or being able to add your own animations created outside?!
(09/16 22:41:40) Sorceress: bring back the cannen for our Relto!
(09/16 22:41:45) DRCLVortmax1: I think adding things from outside would be good.!
(09/16 22:41:53) Dalken Starbyne: I agree.!
(09/16 22:41:55) vid: It'd probably be best to create the things outside.
(09/16 22:42:03) DRCLVortmax1: In-game would be a bit complicated!
(09/16 22:42:12) Shonda: It would be safer to create them inside the game.!
(09/16 22:42:14) Kam: Agreed, but would other players be able to see them?!
(09/16 22:42:25) vid would love to be able to import some of his smaller 3DS Max mo
(09/16 22:42:26) DRCLVortmax1: But yes, something to let us make clothing, accesso
everyone.!
(09/16 22:42:42) Dalken Starbyne: How about this? A program connected to the game
game running?!
(09/16 22:42:44) Janine: I agree with the Vort!
(09/16 22:42:56) DRCLVortmax1: Perhaps a way to share things, so if you created som
access it from a "hub" area (in or out of game).!
(09/16 22:43:21) Eric L: So you mean making it so people can share stuff they've creat
(09/16 22:43:27) DRCLVortmax1: Yes!!
(09/16 22:43:48) DRCLVortmax1: Say if I created a shirt design, and wanted everyone
their closet.!
(09/16 22:43:53) vid: what's the fun of making something, if you can't share it? :)
(09/16 22:43:56) Eric L: okay, how many people like the idea of sharing things that th
of them?!
(09/16 22:44:06) Eric L: (wave so I can get a count of hands.)!
(09/16 22:44:12) Kam waves

(09/16 22:44:25) Shonda: I'll support that IF it's voluntary on the pick-up.!
(09/16 22:44:26) Dalken Starbyne waves
(09/16 22:44:46) Ehren: yeah we don't want every single thing someone makes in the c
(09/16 22:44:52) Eric L: okay, how many would prefer that the stuff they create be uni
(09/16 22:45:08) Kam: I want both....!
(09/16 22:45:10) DRCLVortmax1: I really think that should be an option to some degr
(09/16 22:45:14) Dalken Starbyne: I prefer both: have the option to share it, or have it
(09/16 22:45:22) Sorceress: same here!
(09/16 22:45:25) Shonda: The choice is ideal.!
(09/16 22:45:27) Yutram: same!
(09/16 22:45:39) Eric L: does anyone disagree with that idea?!
(09/16 22:45:39) Kam: Sorry Eric, we're greedy :P!
(09/16 22:45:46) vid: I like that... make some things just for us... but other things that w
(09/16 22:45:47) DRCLVortmax1: The idea of choice?!
(09/16 22:45:58) Ehren: you know how there is "share book" maybe "share clothes" lo
(09/16 22:46:07) Eric L: being able to share as an option, but only as an option.!
(09/16 22:46:10) vid: after all, I don't want EVERYONE running around in my SPECI
lot of people would like :)
(09/16 22:46:10) Dalken Starbyne: Someone else brought up a kind of hub for sharing
uniqueness!
(09/16 22:46:24) Kam: Only if you wash them before you share them, Ehren!
(09/16 22:46:33) Eric L smiles
(09/16 22:47:05) Eric L: Okay, can anyone else think of things they'd like to create?!
(09/16 22:47:20) Eric L: i've seen Ages, clothing, objects, sounds, animations...!
(09/16 22:47:22) Yutram: transportation!
(09/16 22:47:37) Kam: A diving board in relto for cliff jumping!
(09/16 22:48:05) Eric L: okay, so not just static objects, but objects you can interact w
(09/16 22:48:13) Shonda: I suppose magic carpets are out of the question....!
(09/16 22:48:19) Yutram: lol!
(09/16 22:48:35) Kam: How about customizable pets from various ages!
(09/16 22:48:37) Dalken Starbyne: Decorations!
(09/16 22:48:42) Yutram: ooh, yeah!
(09/16 22:48:47) Shonda: But yes - interaction.!
(09/16 22:48:59) DRCLVortmax1: Pets could be really fun!!
(09/16 22:49:05) Dalken Starbyne: YES!!!
(09/16 22:49:08) Kam: I'd love my own Squee to follow me around or sit on my shoul
(09/16 22:49:08) Sorceress: being able to use the classroom imager for classes!
(09/16 22:49:22) vid: perhaps the ability to create our own textures for Relto? Like cha
(09/16 22:49:40) Eric L: Sort of like a Yeesha page, vid?!
(09/16 22:49:43) DRCLVortmax1: That's a thought. The ability to put in our own "lect
(09/16 22:49:57) Sorceress: yes!
(09/16 22:50:00) DRCLVortmax1: Oooooh, maybe our own Yeesha pages?!
(09/16 22:50:03) vid: Eric, maybe. Or just being able to import a texture and change th
(09/16 22:50:16) Dalken Starbyne: Maybe something like Yeesha pages, but a user equ
(09/16 22:50:16) Kam: Or propaganda in the DRC's case, oops, was that out loud?!
(09/16 22:50:18) Janine: yes more control over the classroom boards and or screens wo
(09/16 22:50:25) vid: Like adjust it so it's a white blanket of snowy grass :)
(09/16 22:50:41) Eric L: Sometimes that happens on its own, vid. ;)!
(09/16 22:50:48) vid: Ooooh :)
(09/16 22:50:50) Sorceress: increase the picture capacity on both the KIs and the imag
(09/16 22:51:13) Shonda: I'd like some things to require time in-game, like our relto tr
(09/16 22:51:16) Dalken Starbyne: An airship to fly around Relto...!
(09/16 22:51:17) DRCLVortmax1: Remember, we want to think about ways to get stu
Cyan can do to make things better!
(09/16 22:51:44) Eric L: Well, someone could create these things I suppose. :)!
(09/16 22:51:53) DRCLVortmax1: Well, the airship could be created :)!
(09/16 22:52:03) Yutram: yay!
(09/16 22:52:18) vid: Not technically "creating" but it'd be nice if we could all work on
things like the cracks in the ground
(09/16 22:52:23) Kam: Okay, then a way for us to create animal life in our relto perhap
(09/16 22:52:38) Dalken Starbyne: I still like the pet idea!
(09/16 22:52:50) Shonda: I'd like the pets to be bound to relto.!
(09/16 22:52:58) Eric L: i'm wondering what sort of tool you would imagine to create
(09/16 22:53:09) Kam: Nah, let em come to the city at least!
(09/16 22:53:14) Eric L: any ideas?!
(09/16 22:53:27) Kam: Hmmm....!
(09/16 22:53:48) Dalken Starbyne: A pet you can choose to have follow you or not, so
with you!
(09/16 22:54:01) DRCLVortmax1: Well, if we were to go easy, something with option
you could kinda drag/drop it?!
(09/16 22:54:03) vid: Poser tends to produce things that are all more or less the same t
(09/16 22:54:11) DRCLVortmax1: That's true of any creation too though, for the mass
(09/16 22:54:23) DRCLVortmax1: *tool!
(09/16 22:54:28) Kam: Well, if we had an avatar custumization program that we could
animals, then tweek the different attributes of, that might work!
(09/16 22:54:48) Eric L: So something like avatar customization, then.!
(09/16 22:54:55) DRCLVortmax1: That's actually a good idea.!
(09/16 22:55:27) Kam: Yeah. But, with perhaos behavioral customization as well, with
(09/16 22:55:43) *Cubkyle: Attack pet!
(09/16 22:55:56) Kam: For example, you could make a Squee that would be jittery, or
(09/16 22:56:01) Kam: ...!
(09/16 22:56:01) *Cubkyle: Keep the Relto safe ;)!
(09/16 22:56:17) Eric L: maybe with sliders for different personality traits?!
(09/16 22:56:24) Ehren: I think I will stay out of Cubkyle's relto from now on
(09/16 22:56:28) Kam: Go for the neck, Boo! (Baldus Gate)!
(09/16 22:56:40) Dalken Starbyne: How about an area in the data hub for people who d
something they want to make but don't know how, they can submit it to the hub reques
design and/or animate it?!
(09/16 22:56:56) *Cubkyle: I like that!
(09/16 22:56:58) DRCLVortmax1: Like a request ticketing system?!
(09/16 22:57:03) Dalken Starbyne: Exactly!
(09/16 22:57:06) Sorceress: good idea!
(09/16 22:57:09) Eric L: or more like a want ads?!
(09/16 22:57:21) Shonda: That I'll support - the want-ads tickets!
(09/16 22:57:29) vid: Perhaps if/as Guilds form, the ability to build guild houses for th
(09/16 22:57:31) Kam: That's a good way to put it!
(09/16 22:57:52) Eric L: okay, now I wanted to talk about another aspect of this.!
(09/16 22:57:58) vid: for example, a Guild of Caterers could have someone model and
(09/16 22:58:00) Kam: Okay!
(09/16 22:58:12) Shonda: Getting from guilds will require a currency, won't it? Will w
(09/16 22:58:16) DRCLVortmax1: Okay, question: Will Cyan have to approve everyth
(09/16 22:58:17) Kam: VId thinks with his stomach, btw!
(09/16 22:58:26) Eric L: giving people all this creative flexibility could lead to the pos
people object to.!
(09/16 22:58:38) Eric L: i'd like to get some discussion going about how we can deal w
(09/16 22:58:40) DRCLVortmax1: Exactly.!
(09/16 22:59:01) Shonda: I think the "view" or "not view" option from this morning so
(09/16 22:59:14) Sorceress: let Cyan have final say on appropriate content!
(09/16 22:59:15) Shonda: For most things, anyway!
(09/16 22:59:18) Kam: Well, it has to be within set limits. No profanity. No sexual ima
(09/16 22:59:39) *Cubkyle: There should be options to turn on different user created th
(09/16 22:59:48) DRCLVortmax1: Maybe some kind of fan approval system, where so
doesn't have to worry about it all the time?!
(09/16 22:59:55) DRCLVortmax1: The problem would be finding people who can do
(09/16 22:59:58) Kam: No excedingly violent images.!
(09/16 23:00:09) Eric L: Okay, so you'd like to be able to decide for yourself what you
(09/16 23:00:33) Dalken Starbyne: That could be handled by the hub!!
(09/16 23:00:33) Shonda: The fan approval system would be great for passing most tin
(09/16 23:00:34) *Cubkyle: Like a check list. Turn this on. Turn this off!
(09/16 23:00:53) Eric L: okay, let me check on this. !
(09/16 23:00:57) *Cubkyle: Almost like the Relto pages!
(09/16 23:01:13) vid: perhaps each person gets "tickets" every month with their subscr
creations to the world? Say you get two, and you can only design two items a month, s
rather than just churning things out constantly, cluttering the world without much thou

(09/16 23:01:52) Shonda: Vid's ticketing would be very good!!
(09/16 23:01:59) Eric L: <Ben Stein> Anyone? Anyone? </Ben Stein> ;)!
(09/16 23:02:06) vid: Bueller? Bueller?
(09/16 23:02:08) Dalken Starbyne: Well, you wouldn't have to worry about clutter if y

(09/16 23:02:19) vid notes that there's an aesome Ferris Bueller poster in the Red Robi

(09/16 23:02:36) DRCLVortmax1: However, everyone's standards are different.!

(09/16 23:03:05) *Cubkyle: Cyan always does things right!
(09/16 23:03:12) Sorceress: i agree with vid as well!
(09/16 23:03:23) Kam: Lol Cub!
(09/16 23:03:44) Shonda: I think the fan rating system would help out more there. Wit
(09/16 23:03:58) vid: but another point with the "tickets" is that whoever is approving

(09/16 23:05:14) Ehren: yeah created things should be in peoples personal ages..
(09/16 23:05:14) Yutram: makes sense!
(09/16 23:05:23) Kam: Oh, Eric, another idea!
(09/16 23:05:27) Eric L: yes, Kam?!
(09/16 23:05:27) Shonda: I prefer the flexibility to create within peronal Ages. But how
(09/16 23:05:36) vid: maybe if it's in an age you create or something like that, there co
can look through that before they link in

(09/16 23:07:07) DRCLVortmax1: That's a great idea Eric!
(09/16 23:07:12) Kam: I agree with Zadok on that. But they could fix that by having it
it resets to default!
(09/16 23:07:24) *Cubkyle: Sounds good Eric!
(09/16 23:07:37) Kam: Yeah!

(09/16 23:09:21) Shonda: They might not, if it's not stored on a public server.!

(09/16 23:09:54) *Cubkyle: 1 to 5 stars!
(09/16 23:10:00) Kam: Not stars. Linking books :P!
(09/16 23:10:03) Eric L: wow. There could be a lot of content in that list after a while.
(09/16 23:10:05) Shonda: how about 1 to 25!
(09/16 23:10:29) Kam: Okay, firemarbles!
(09/16 23:10:31) Dalken Starbyne: I prefer the ingame hub...it'd have a UI similar to th
and names!
(09/16 23:10:32) *Cubkyle: It would be easier then putting it in the game right?!
(09/16 23:10:51) Dalken Starbyne: Tabs at the top with different categories!
(09/16 23:10:59) Dalken Starbyne: "Clothes" "!
(09/16 23:11:00) *Cubkyle: Yea!
(09/16 23:11:07) Dalken Starbyne: "Pets"?!
(09/16 23:11:12) Kam: YEAH!!
(09/16 23:11:29) Kam: Sorry, I really want a Squee!
(09/16 23:11:30) Yutram: uh-huh!
(09/16 23:11:30) Dalken Starbyne: "Ages" ;)!
(09/16 23:11:50) *Cubkyle: I want a flopper!
(09/16 23:11:56) Yutram: vehicles?!
(09/16 23:12:00) Dalken Starbyne: Exactly!
(09/16 23:12:03) Kam: Nah!
(09/16 23:12:07) DRCLVortmax1: I like that idea Dalken!
(09/16 23:12:16) *Cubkyle: Zandimobile!
(09/16 23:12:42) Kam: Vehicles should be limited to ages. And how far can you drive
(09/16 23:13:18) DRCLVortmax1: Except maybe a Segway for getting around Ae'gura
(09/16 23:13:20) DRCLVortmax1 laughs
(09/16 23:13:22) *Cubkyle: I like driveing off the edge in the cleft! :D !
(09/16 23:13:36) Kam: Sure, I'd love to tear around in my own Dukes of Hazzard car,
(09/16 23:13:50) Dalken Starbyne: Well, as far as vehicles go, maybe the bigger ones
package?!
(09/16 23:13:52) vid: physical journals would be nice... pull them out... write in them..
give them to other people
(09/16 23:14:08) Kam: Okay now that I agree with, VId!
(09/16 23:14:09) Eric L: ah, there's an idea. Being able to leave notes behind?!
(09/16 23:14:18) vid nods his head
(09/16 23:14:22) *Cubkyle: Cool!
(09/16 23:14:25) Ehren: but then the whole ground would get covered in notes in place
(09/16 23:14:28) DRCLVortmax1 cheers
(09/16 23:14:34) Kam: Atrus, Catherine, Yeesha, Gehn, ALL the major Myst characte
(09/16 23:14:41) *Cubkyle: Yea. That would be alot of trash!
(09/16 23:14:41) vid: and so they wouldn't clutter the place... maybe after so many vie
(09/16 23:14:42) Eric L: i guess we'd have to have a D'ni litter patrol. ;)!
(09/16 23:14:58) Sorceress: i like the notes idea!
(09/16 23:14:59) Janine: A relto book on one hip and a notebook in you pocket :D!
(09/16 23:15:01) *Cubkyle: Guild of Garbage!
(09/16 23:15:02) Dalken Starbyne: How about a certain amount of time, instead, vid?!
(09/16 23:15:13) vid: DS, maybe... how much time?
(09/16 23:15:23) Eric L: or maybe someone else can come along and pick the note up?
(09/16 23:15:24) *Cubkyle: A week!
(09/16 23:15:41) Dalken Starbyne: Well, I dunno for sure...but for other games, things
(09/16 23:15:46) Kam: So Eric, I suggest we be given our own journals we keep in our
books!
(09/16 23:16:05) Eric L: journals that other people can read, correct?!
(09/16 23:16:08) Kam: lol, Myr wants to stash her feathers, lol!
(09/16 23:16:16) DRCLVortmax1: Say make them like the LInking books.!
(09/16 23:16:20) Shonda: Kam's relto journals would be neat!!
(09/16 23:16:22) Myridean: inventories would enable you to keep notes in your ki or p
(09/16 23:16:24) DRCLVortmax1: You can lock or unlock them on your shelf as you
(09/16 23:16:28) *Cubkyle: Yes. Maybe just picking up the page and having that be th
(09/16 23:16:33) Kam: Sure, if we want. Maybe allow them to be lockable too!
(09/16 23:16:34) Dalken Starbyne: Maybe the "decay" time would only be in public A
(09/16 23:17:01) Eric L: speaking of throwing Eddie...!
(09/16 23:17:13) Eric L: How do you feel about the idea of adding your own emotes?!
(09/16 23:17:16) vid wants to bounce eddie into the room right now :)
(09/16 23:17:23) Dalken Starbyne: YES!!!
(09/16 23:17:27) Kam: Doh, dropped my cordless keyboard.!
(09/16 23:17:28) Eric L: (more than just text)!
(09/16 23:17:29) vid: Yes, PLEASE!!!
(09/16 23:17:37) *Cubkyle: I think you should be able to pick up the note and then kee
(09/16 23:17:38) Yutram: definetally!
(09/16 23:17:41) Sorceress: yes!
(09/16 23:17:51) DRCLVortmax1: Oh, I'd like to be able to build chat macros.!
(09/16 23:17:59) DRCLVortmax1: It'd make this job a lot easier :D!
(09/16 23:18:30) Dalken Starbyne: And what about our own postures? For example...s
people sit down with their legs spread out...and not all guys sit down in chairs with the
(09/16 23:19:01) Kam: I think an animation program similar too avatar customization
movements of our own emotes, but keep it within the confines of the game engine!
(09/16 23:19:26) Dalken Starbyne: So as hub categories: "Postures" and "Emotes"?!
(09/16 23:19:52) Kam: Yeah, and make them saveable... is that really a word!
(09/16 23:19:52) Eric L: okay, it would be easy enough to click on an object and rate i
goes like an emote?!
(09/16 23:19:53) Shonda: So who designs the emotes.... users or Cyan?!
(09/16 23:20:21) *Cubkyle: I think Emotes should be left up to Cyan in the end!
(09/16 23:20:23) Kam: ... Skylark, stop watching Ghost in the Shell!
(09/16 23:20:54) vid: Emotes could be like life on the surface. If someone does someth
it persists and is bothering a lot of people, contact the proper channels.
(09/16 23:20:58) Shonda: You mean like /angry ?!
(09/16 23:21:16) Dalken Starbyne: To add to skylark's comment: a game I played befo
play certain avatar animations if you typed a certain word in a converstaion!
(09/16 23:21:26) vid: Uru is a sort of "reality extension" after all, more than a game.
(09/16 23:21:39) Eric L: well, say someone uses a custom emote that you don't like. W
rate it? !
(09/16 23:21:51) Dalken Starbyne: For example, if someone said "Hello", their avvie w
(09/16 23:22:23) DRCLVortmax1: Well, I think the 5-star system Dalken came up wit
(09/16 23:22:25) Kam: Look, I just wanna be able to air guitar!
(09/16 23:23:01) Dalken Starbyne: Well, in the hub, you could have basic avvies in the
"play" button on the squares so the avvies would play the emote in the hub!
(09/16 23:23:11) Kam: Well obviously again we have to set limits. No flipping someo
(09/16 23:23:30) DRCLVortmax1: See, things that are inappropriate would get modde
(09/16 23:23:43) Kam: Or banned entirely!
(09/16 23:23:46) From skylark: ty you got it
(09/16 23:23:49) Dalken Starbyne: I have an idea!!
(09/16 23:23:52) *Cubkyle: I think Cyan should approve of emotes!
(09/16 23:23:54) Eric L: what's that, Dalken?!
(09/16 23:24:09) Kam: Put some GM's incharge of monitoring new emotes.!
(09/16 23:24:24) vid: perhaps it could lead to a "Guild of Maintainers", people workin
like that. Not quite GMs, but capable of watching over things.
(09/16 23:24:51) DRCLVortmax1: Someone to bring those things to the attention of C
(09/16 23:25:00) Kam: lol, now that makes me think of the scarlet knights from Dot H
(09/16 23:25:04) Shonda: Spy Guilds?!
(09/16 23:25:21) vid: we've got the liaisons in place for information, so maybe a simila
(09/16 23:25:21) Eric L: dalken? What was your idea?!
(09/16 23:25:34) Kam: B'ond. J'ames B'ond...!
(09/16 23:25:39) DRCLVortmax1: He's still typing, I think :D!
(09/16 23:25:50) Eric L: must be a big idea. :)!
(09/16 23:25:53) Yutram: or he crashed!
(09/16 23:25:58) vid: Kam, but don't forget that the Crimson Knights weren't supporte
just renegades, pretty much.
(09/16 23:26:01) DRCLVortmax1: Nah, he's typing. VERY big idea, I think :D!
(09/16 23:26:27) Yutram: the BIG idea!
(09/16 23:26:29) vid chants "Dal-ken, Dal-ken..."
(09/16 23:26:29) Dalken Starbyne: Expanding on the similarity of the hub and the avat
clothing, etc, just like the avvie customization screen, and when it go to emotes, it wou
you tried it out. And when you went to pets/vehicles/etc. it would show the pet/persona
in place of the avvie!
(09/16 23:26:33) Kam: He's having trouble with the big words, give him time!
(09/16 23:26:57) DRCLVortmax1: I'm just going to throw in that the meeting officiall
as Eric wants :D!
(09/16 23:27:20) vid: holy crow, has it really been an hour already?

(09/16 23:33:30) Kam: I'd go for that!
(09/16 23:33:31) Myridean: That goes back to the collection development policy sugge
(09/16 23:33:32) Eric L: you'd like to see some central point where they're kept, right M
(09/16 23:33:34) Shonda: Library access to that Age would be awsome!
(09/16 23:33:41) DRCLVortmax1 nods his head
(09/16 23:33:53) Zadok: there sure are plenty of empty pedestals in the Library, hehe
(09/16 23:33:56) vid: I like that idea a lot too.. the rating to make it public

(11/11 08:07:11) ireenquench laughs
(11/11 08:07:17) Sorceress: All I remember is that it was a pre-Earth celebration.

(11/11 08:21:58) Brian Fioca: ireen, good question. :)
(11/11 08:22:12) Brian Fioca: perhaps by tradition
(11/11 08:22:13) Brian Fioca: more than anything
(11/11 08:22:24) Brian Fioca: I was the one that starte the group initially
(11/11 08:22:33) Saxy: Hi Professor!
(11/11 08:22:53) Professor Askew: Sorry I'm late.
(11/11 08:23:01) Brian Fioca: and so, that has probably something to do with why they

(11/11 08:24:34) IBnetweazel: did we lose autoshout?!
(11/11 08:25:00) UberThend: The content in the excellent 'Prologue Story' already see
production 'Tales of the DRC' authentically (lol). What did the GT think of it? (Btw, if
'Director's Cut', I'm sure the Bad Boys and Girls of Uru would be happy to oblige)
(11/11 08:25:10) ireenquench: (I heard it and I am logging)!
(11/11 08:25:26) Saxy laughs
(11/11 08:25:38) Brian Fioca: Hi thend, thanks for the question.!

people who were there.!
(11/11 08:26:15) Professor Askew: hehe
(11/11 08:26:16) Brian Fioca: as to the first part of your question, maybe someone else
(11/11 08:26:38) Saxy: I haven't seen Tales of the DRC. Where could one see it?!
(11/11 08:26:48) Professor Askew: hear it
(11/11 08:26:53) Saxy: Hm.!
(11/11 08:26:55) janaba1: :-)!

(11/11 08:27:28) Brian Fioca: So, it seems like we haven't actually had a chance to che
attention.!
(11/11 08:27:36) Saxy: That could be one reason. The Prologue story hasn't been put t
(11/11 08:27:49) Brian Fioca: Also!
(11/11 08:27:54) UberThend: Hey np, really liking the Prologue videos
(11/11 08:27:57) Brian Fioca: we wanted to approach it!
(11/11 08:28:06) Saxy: And, personally, I think the story has a bit more impact when y
(11/11 08:28:15) Brian Fioca: since we think we have a unique perpective about what
(11/11 08:28:18) Cycreim: We're just glad that people are interested in what happened
(11/11 08:28:31) Brian Fioca: and wanted to share with everyone else.!
(11/11 08:28:33) Professor Askew: Indeed.

(11/11 08:29:39) Saxy: While we're wating for questions..!
(11/11 08:29:48) Saxy: What do you guys think of the Prologue videos so far?!
(11/11 08:29:59) Sorceress: They're great!
(11/11 08:30:03) CAGrayWolf: I have a question. Yoy all were quite involved with Sh
opinion of Sharper changed (if at all) and how do you all feel about what happened no

(11/11 08:30:40) Saxy: Thanks for the feedback :)!
(11/11 08:30:51) From K'laamas: Question!
(11/11 08:30:53) Brian Fioca: well, I have to say that I"ve always defended doug, we w
(11/11 08:30:58) Professor Askew: I'm sure it's different for all of us.
(11/11 08:31:07) Brian Fioca: I think he continues to be misunderstood!
(11/11 08:31:30) Professor Askew: hehe
(11/11 08:31:32) Brian Fioca: that said, I think there are things we're doing now that h
(11/11 08:31:46) Brian Fioca: but, as we know,!
(11/11 08:32:14) janaba1: what things?!
(11/11 08:32:25) Brian Fioca: we make our own paths down here, and we need to mak
back, !
(11/11 08:32:36) Saxy nods her head
(11/11 08:32:36) Cycreim: Like trying to reconcile with the DRC, for example.!
(11/11 08:32:42) Brian Fioca: hi jana, what things? - well yes, Cyc.!
(11/11 08:32:44) janaba1: aha!
(11/11 08:33:08) janaba1: ah, he didn't want that at all?!
(11/11 08:33:08) Brian Fioca: he might not have thought that was wise, but maybe bec
treatment of him.!
(11/11 08:33:21) Saxy: I think Sharper might've come off as brash in Prologue, but I b
(11/11 08:33:23) janaba1: aha, I understand!
(11/11 08:33:42) janaba1: oh, yes!
(11/11 08:33:43) Brian Fioca: in any event, yes, Saxy. I believe so, too... or else I wou
defend him so much. :)!
(11/11 08:33:44) Professor Askew: I'm not quite as sure about his good intentions. lol
(11/11 08:33:52) Brian Fioca: it seems to have hurt my reputation long therm.!
(11/11 08:34:12) Cycreim: Sharper was a good guy, despite what a lot of people think
reading his journal!!
(11/11 08:34:22) Brian Fioca: anyway, !
(11/11 08:34:25) Saxy: Professor brings up a good point.!
(11/11 08:34:26) janaba1: right!
(11/11 08:34:32) Professor Askew: Unfortunately, I never met the man.
(11/11 08:34:45) Brian Fioca: that doesn't really matter... because he's gone, and likely
(11/11 08:34:52) Saxy: Although we're all members of the Great Tree,!
(11/11 08:34:55) Brian Fioca: our furute doesn't have much to do with Douglas Sharpe
(11/11 08:35:02) Brian Fioca: *future!
(11/11 08:35:17) UberThend: Eating Shroomies and stealing artifacts?
(11/11 08:35:17) Professor Askew: true.........or does it? Dum dum dum......
(11/11 08:35:18) Saxy: And we believe in a similar philosophy, we've all had different
(11/11 08:35:46) Professor Askew: Right.
(11/11 08:36:03) Saxy: Therefore, we've had different (if any) interactions with Doug.
(11/11 08:36:17) CAGrayWolf: K'laamas ... You have a question?!
(11/11 08:36:22) K'laamas: What actually prompted the formation of the Great Tree, a
(11/11 08:36:25) Brian Fioca: I think we should really stress though, that we're not tied
(11/11 08:36:37) Brian Fioca: Hi, K'laamas.!
(11/11 08:36:53) Saxy: Good question :)!
(11/11 08:37:00) janaba1: yes!
(11/11 08:37:02) Marten: I think that Sharper was a classic example of what it means t
he was a skeptic of Phil too, at first. It was his nature to question things.!
(11/11 08:37:23) janaba1: right!
(11/11 08:37:27) Brian Fioca: The short answer is, the Great Tree was formed from the
gruop of ...!
(11/11 08:37:30) janaba1: this is good!

(11/11 08:39:34) Brian Fioca: since the DRC were leaving, !
(11/11 08:39:59) Saxy: We felt that the DRC was also not capturing the spirit of Yeesh
(11/11 08:40:19) Brian Fioca: thanks, Saxy. That's very true.!
(11/11 08:40:21) Saxy: And occasionally the DRC were a bit misguided.!

afterward.
(11/11 08:57:09) Saxy: Makes it quite exciting. :)!

(11/11 09:07:12) Professor Askew: I'll never get over it.!
(11/11 09:07:17) Marten: It was a very fractious time. People were dividing into group

(11/11 09:10:27) Marten: It is a symbol. We don't need the symbol... but we want it.!
(11/11 09:10:31) K'laamas: What would you say is the main "focus" of the GT forums
(11/11 09:10:33) UberThend: lol

(11/11 20:08:25) Cycreim: Oh boy...
(11/11 20:08:36) jjohns (Marten): Sure. I'll let Cycreim speak first.
(11/11 20:08:52) Cycreim: Haha, well all the eloquent speakers aren't here this evening
(11/11 20:09:50) jjohns (Marten): OK, Cycreim just handed it to me first. OK. A little
(11/11 20:10:06) Cycreim gets stage fright. :P
(11/11 20:10:33) jjohns (Marten): During 2003 Uru Prologue, the Great Tree was born
around Brian Fioca, who we currently call our "leader" though really, he's more of a go

(11/11 20:11:56) Cycreim: Oh hey Jean
(11/11 20:12:06) jjohns (Marten): Brian was by no means the only person to which thi

(11/11 20:12:31) Cycreim: Right, a lot of them were just in the right place at the right
(11/11 20:12:41) jjohns (Marten): Good examples include Zardoz and MrM3FaN, both
documentary video series we are now producing to help explain many of those events.
(11/11 20:12:48) Moiety Jean waves
(11/11 20:12:57) jjohns (Marten) welcomes Moiety Jean, "First Lady of the Great Tree
(11/11 20:13:00) Cycreim: Glad you could join us, even if it's just for a bit :)
(11/11 20:13:03) Moiety Jean: Hehe, thanks
(11/11 20:13:09) Moiety Jean: Sorry to duck in late
(11/11 20:13:41) Cycreim: The rest of us just sort of rolled up in the group at random m
(11/11 20:14:05) jjohns (Marten): As Prologue wrapped up towards the end of January
cavern.... yeah, we sort of rolled up into the group like an avalanche.
(11/11 20:14:17) jjohns (Marten): It was a very tumultous time.
(11/11 20:14:32) jjohns (Marten): Good enough?
(11/11 20:14:32) Cycreim: Daedalus liked the cut of my jib on the DRC forums and w
was that.
(11/11 20:14:47) Moiety Jean: Nowadays we find that people who enjoy our type of fu

(11/11 20:15:23) jjohns (Marten): The documentaries have also renewed some interest
(11/11 20:15:30) Moiety Jean: Once they hang around on our forums and get to know
they are just adopted as "official" members.
(11/11 20:16:04) Cycreim: We're really casual, even if we come off as rabble-rousers s
(11/11 20:16:15) Moiety Jean: Indeed.

(11/11 20:17:39) Cycreim: Ha
(11/11 20:17:45) Moiety Jean: We don't have anything official, but I'm certain Cyan pl
themselves to help the explorers forward the story
(11/11 20:18:14) jjohns (Marten): That's a very good question. From our point of persp
on wehther they want to get involved in the story. You don't have to be part of the Gre
opportunity.
(11/11 20:18:15) Cycreim: At the present time I can tell you that we don't know anythi
(11/11 20:18:23) Moiety Jean: So the Great Tree could be involved, and so could anoth
(11/11 20:19:02) Cycreim: We're a group with a lot of history, and how that rolls out i
Cyan.
(11/11 20:19:09) Moiety Jean: Or an individual. There are many possibilities and I'm s
(11/11 20:19:16) jjohns (Marten): Right. Cyan, per our understanding, will have multip
involved and exert influence on the direction things go. There will be subtle and not so
example to go by.

the rest of you.
(11/11 20:20:15) jjohns (Marten): Don't disregard strange private messages you get Yo
knocking. It could also be a hoax, and I'm sure we'll see some of those... but keep your

(11/11 20:21:15) Cycreim: that you could be a part of the story in a concrete way
(11/11 20:21:32) Moiety Jean: Yes. We got a bit of flak recently for coming forward to
being false.
(11/11 20:21:38) Cycreim: just like the Great Tree's story was intertwined in the story
(11/11 20:21:58) Moiety Jean: I don't believe we made a bad decision in this, because
was true.
(11/11 20:22:08) Moiety Jean: We made sure to handle it in a civil way, first.
(11/11 20:22:23) Cycreim: Is that a good answer?
(11/11 20:22:29) jjohns (Marten): Right. There's been a lot of confusion and concern a
elitism. But the story is optional... you don't have to participate if you don't want to. Bu
then complain about it.
(11/11 20:22:38) Moiety Jean: Right

(11/11 20:23:29) To jjohns (Marten): awesome answers...if you could maybe have one
great.. i'm getting a queue
(11/11 20:23:51) Moiety Jean: By simply interacting with the DRC, which are a fiction
(11/11 20:24:09) Moiety Jean: you are embracing the concept that the cavern is real in
(11/11 20:24:26) Moiety Jean: That's the only thing which is required in order to play "
(11/11 20:24:32) Gadren: Hi everyone who's just come in We're in the community hall
queue...and when done with answering a question, say "next"

(11/11 20:25:18) Gadren: Sorceress?
(11/11 20:25:19) Moiety Jean: Yeah, I just dislike those silly exclamation points. :)
(11/11 20:25:23) Beatfox: haha
(11/11 20:25:36) Gadren: (and don't worry, i'll edit out the exclamation marks)
(11/11 20:25:55) Sorceress: General question: did you ever know which Cyanists cont
etc)?
(11/11 20:26:12) Cycreim: Jean maybe you could handle this.
(11/11 20:26:15) Moiety Jean: That is something which, even if we did know, would b
(11/11 20:26:35) hhenry: you dont have a need to know
(11/11 20:26:45) Moiety Jean: We have never had official confirmation of who played
(11/11 20:27:11) Moiety Jean: Though we have speculated :)
(11/11 20:27:30) Moiety Jean: Next?
(11/11 20:27:39) Gadren: Michael again?
(11/11 20:27:42) Michael: If Cyan implements guilds in Uru Live do you think the GT
(11/11 20:27:57) Moiety Jean: We've definitely thought about it.
(11/11 20:28:16) jjohns (Marten): I have something to add to that...
(11/11 20:28:20) Moiety Jean: Please

stance

(11/11 20:30:04) Cycreim: Which is very likely to happen :D
(11/11 20:30:17) Moiety Jean: So, if the opportunity presents itself for the Great Tree t
internally, and decide from there.
(11/11 20:30:40) jjohns (Marten): Next?
(11/11 20:30:42) Moiety Jean: I doubt that we'll pass up on a good opportunity to be in
(11/11 20:31:01) Moiety Jean: Yes, next?
(11/11 20:31:15) Gadren: Uh...i don't think i have anyone on my queue right now
(11/11 20:31:42) jjohns (Marten): Do you have any questions yourself, Gadren?
(11/11 20:31:42) Gadren: If no one else has any more OOC questions, I'll open the floo
(11/11 20:32:10) Gadren: hhenry asks "Will GT continue as a UU shard or go down?"
(11/11 20:32:13) Moiety Jean: Alright Well, there were many good questions asked in
to read the transcript as it's posted.
(11/11 20:32:21) jjohns (Marten): I'll take that one.
(11/11 20:32:33) To Eleri: Hi eleri
(11/11 20:32:34) Moiety Jean: That's entirely up to Cyan... is that right, John?
(11/11 20:32:55) Cycreim: Ask Ashtar. :)
(11/11 20:33:07) Cycreim: It's his shard.
(11/11 20:33:16) jjohns (Marten): We don't know. GT as a shard isn't really directly af
shard, and it even has its own forums. Ultimately, yeah... it's up to Cyan on whether so
he shuts his down early. I don't think he will until Cyan asks, though.
(11/11 20:33:16) Sorceress: OOC QUESTION
(11/11 20:33:27) Sorceress: oops
(11/11 20:33:37) jjohns (Marten): Next. :)
(11/11 20:33:46) Gadren: heh...go ahead sorceress
(11/11 20:33:55) Moiety Jean: It would definitely be in our best interest to keep the UU
our documentary series.
(11/11 20:34:10) Moiety Jean: Hi Eleri
(11/11 20:34:14) Sorceress: Do you have any general tips on how to be involved in the
(11/11 20:34:16) K'laamas: Shorah, Eleri :)
(11/11 20:34:18) jjohns (Marten): Shorah to our other liaison for the evening, Eleri :)
(11/11 20:34:31) Eleri: Shorah, all. Sorry I am late. stuck in surface traffic
(11/11 20:34:38) Gadren: 'tis alright. :)
(11/11 20:34:43) Cycreim: Oh Yeah awesome Great question
(11/11 20:35:50) Cycreim: The easiest way to get involved is to be on 24/7. That ups y
character" LOL
(11/11 20:35:59) Moiety Jean: Part of it will likely be "right place, right time"
(11/11 20:36:01) Beatfox: hehe
(11/11 20:36:01) jjohns (Marten) rolls his eyes.
(11/11 20:36:12) Cycreim: Of course that's kind of unreasonable, natch
(11/11 20:36:43) Moiety Jean: I'd say, keep tabs on events as the story unfolds
(11/11 20:36:55) Cycreim: I can say one thing
(11/11 20:37:22) Moiety Jean: But you can always be involved, even if you're not a hig
(11/11 20:37:24) Cycreim: If you do run into an actor character, don't get starstruck, ju
(11/11 20:37:30) jjohns (Marten): One point we wanted to drive home in the Prologue
of every event that occurred. As we continue, viewers will see that events in Prologue
day. You never knew when something important would happen.
(11/11 20:38:18) Moiety Jean: Don't worry too much about it, but have fun, be appeali
(11/11 20:38:24) jjohns (Marten): Pay attention to the DRC forums. Stay up on curren
there will be other clues, but I couldn't guess what they may be.
(11/11 20:38:30) Cycreim: Actor characters are being played by real people, so you ca
on the forums, you can do all sorts of things.
(11/11 20:38:35) Beatfox: As with any RP setting, try to put your own personal twist o
force events in a certain direction.
(11/11 20:38:52) Moiety Jean: That's good
(11/11 20:38:55) jjohns (Marten): Good advice, Beatfox. :)
(11/11 20:39:02) Cycreim: Yes Pay attention to PMs and follow up on them as much a
somewhere, it's very likely that something interesting is going to happen in that place.
(11/11 20:39:08) Beatfox: I'm in one of those old transcripts, BTW :P
(11/11 20:39:23) Beatfox: and thanks, hehe
(11/11 20:39:54) jjohns (Marten): Well, if we're using one of those in the planned epis
just too much), you'll get a message from one of us when we're ready to cover it. :)
(11/11 20:39:57) Moiety Jean: Remember that as Live grows, it will be hard for everyo

(11/11 20:40:00) Cycreim: If Laxman tells you to go to Eder Kemo, for the sake of all
(11/11 20:40:07) Sorceress: hee
(11/11 20:40:10) Beatfox: Cool, thanks jjohns
(11/11 20:40:24) Cycreim: Of course
(11/11 20:40:27) Cycreim: One more thing
(11/11 20:40:40) Cycreim: The DRC aren't the only way to get involved in the plot of
(11/11 20:40:45) Moiety Jean: Yes
(11/11 20:41:07) Moiety Jean: The community is constantly showing its many talents
(11/11 20:41:11) Cycreim: There are lots of explorers who are running smaller stories,
Uru
(11/11 20:41:51) Cycreim: The Great Tree is like that, I think
(11/11 20:41:56) jjohns (Marten): Right. And the DRC may even react to those. You n
(11/11 20:42:22) Moiety Jean: At some point you may have to choose a direction and r
straddling the fence about current events will cause your story to stagnate
(11/11 20:42:25) Cycreim: You can get involved on so many levels, and the way those
(11/11 20:43:01) Beatfox: Above all, have fun. If too much of your efforts are simply s
storyline, you're probably not gonna get much enjoyment outta that.
(11/11 20:43:08) Eleri: I think, just being aware, and keeping up on what's going on is
dropped in your lap, you're not lost.
(11/11 20:43:14) Beatfox: And that is the whole point of this place: enjoyment
(11/11 20:43:25) Moiety Jean: So, if it comes to it, make friends, make alliances, and t
importantly, enjoy the experience at your own pace.
(11/11 20:43:31) Cycreim: I think we're ready to go to the next question.
(11/11 20:43:34) Moiety Jean: yes
(11/11 20:43:49) Gadren: Well, I have an IC question:
(11/11 20:43:58) Moiety Jean: sure
(11/11 20:44:02) Cycreim: Fire away
(11/11 20:44:02) jjohns (Marten) puts on his pith helmet. "Go"
(11/11 20:45:22) Gadren: Could you eplain what the path of Yeesha is and what you th
mysticism that can make it confusing for many of us?
(11/11 20:45:46) Moiety Jean: But the mysticism is part of the fun ;)
(11/11 20:45:49) Gadren: for example, what is a "spritual restoration?" ;)
(11/11 20:46:05) jjohns (Marten): "No." Hey, it was a yes or no question. ;)
(11/11 20:46:08) hhenry: Restock thepub
(11/11 20:46:15) Moiety Jean: I think Yeesha is more concerned with the people who
ruins themselves
(11/11 20:46:21) Beatfox: haha hhenry
(11/11 20:46:39) Cycreim: Right. She's not talking about D'ni at the time of the Fall
(11/11 20:47:03) Moiety Jean: She wants to teach us that building up pride and refusin
(11/11 20:47:05) Cycreim: When the Cavern was first colonized, I guess that would be
(11/11 20:47:26) jjohns (Marten): Anyone can rebuild. But if you keep repeating your
A true restoration is to overcome your shortcomings.
(11/11 20:47:26) Cycreim: the D'ni were supposed to live in humility
(11/11 20:47:46) Cycreim: obviously they lost some of that humility :)
(11/11 20:47:58) Moiety Jean: But they built class structures and caste systems that ab
(11/11 20:47:59) Gadren: So, where do you see a Yeesha-inspired Cavern community
(11/11 20:48:06) jjohns (Marten): Right. I'll elaborate on that just a bit more...
(11/11 20:48:15) Moiety Jean: pride and vanity caused them to overlook their dire situ
(11/11 20:48:16) Cycreim: Behind your desk. :)
(11/11 20:48:23) Cycreim: Oh wait this isn't a job interview
(11/11 20:48:43) catherwood laughs
(11/11 20:48:58) Cycreim: Well Gadren
(11/11 20:49:02) Moiety Jean: Yeesha muses a lot farther into the future than we do
(11/11 20:49:23) Cycreim: I really don't know, personally, and I don't think it's our job
be about the Journey and everything
(11/11 20:49:26) jjohns (Marten): The response some people might have is to look at V
about D'ni's fall, and blame Veovis, or blame Ti'Ana. But that doesn't take away the rig
amount of security or comfort will save you. The more you attempt to be secure, the m
(11/11 20:49:55) jjohns (Marten): (that's my opinion)
(11/11 20:50:03) Moiety Jean: It's impossible to say where we will be. I'm pretty sure t
way the community thinks the cavern should be managed
(11/11 20:50:20) Cycreim: Making predictions would be setting ourselves a goal and I
just try to be here in the moment and do the best we can to remember the least among u
(11/11 20:50:36) Cycreim: It's all about the Journey
(11/11 20:50:41) jjohns (Marten): Ten years from now, we will still be learning. The D
they either did not learn, or did not remember, the lesson.
(11/11 20:51:09) Moiety Jean: Are we ready to go on?
(11/11 20:51:13) jjohns (Marten): I am.
(11/11 20:51:17) Cycreim: I think so. Next
(11/11 20:51:18) Gadren: Heh, OK. ;)
(11/11 20:51:32) Gadren: Well, Idon't have anyone else on my queue...if I missed anyo
(11/11 20:51:42) Moiety Jean: Hello to our newcomers
(11/11 20:51:53) jjohns (Marten): If anyone feels that we've neglected to answer suffic
(11/11 20:52:24) Cycreim: Maybe I can put something forward
(11/11 20:52:27) To jjohns (Marten): heh, thanks for the invite...if you don't mind, i'll
distract the meeting any further ;)
(11/11 20:52:33) Gadren: OK, Michael, you're up
(11/11 20:52:33) Nita (I'm on the surface, be back in a minute):
(11/11 20:52:48) Michael: any of you ever meet a bahro in person
(11/11 20:52:49) Cycreim: After Michael's question, of course. :)
(11/11 20:52:54) Cycreim: Hahaha
(11/11 20:53:06) Moiety Jean: hehe, depends on if you're speaking IC or OOC ;)
(11/11 20:53:11) Cycreim: I'd like to, one day...
(11/11 20:53:12) Michael: IC

(11/11 20:53:39) Moiety Jean: 'm pretty sure they've seen me
(11/11 20:54:25) Nita: what's the subject tonight
(11/11 20:54:26) Moiety Jean: Keep them in mind if you sneak off to make a pit stop s
(11/11 20:54:33) Nita: lol
(11/11 20:54:42) Gadren: OK, hhenry has a question...
(11/11 20:55:07) Moiety Jean: Nita, we're discussing the Great Tree, and explorer role
(11/11 20:55:13) Nita: ok
(11/11 20:55:22) jjohns (Marten): Go ahead with your question, hhenry :)
(11/11 20:56:20) jjohns (Marten): .... is there a punchline? :)
(11/11 20:56:40) Cycreim: Are you implying that the people who wear pith helmets ar

(11/11 20:59:29) Cycreim: Do we have another question?
(11/11 20:59:34) jjohns (Marten): I'll ask a question of the crowd. What do you think o
anyone not seen them?
(11/11 20:59:44) catherwood downloaded them
(11/11 20:59:44) Nita: no
(11/11 20:59:45) Cycreim: Later K'laamas
(11/11 20:59:51) Michael: They are very well made.
(11/11 20:59:52) Sorceress: They're great for those who weren't in Prologue
(11/11 21:00:00) Beatfox: I just saw them for the first time yesterday. Great job
(11/11 21:00:07) Nita: up here hana
(11/11 21:00:45) Beatfox: If I had one qualm about them, I'd say that they could perha
(11/11 21:00:50) Gadren nods his head
(11/11 21:00:55) Gadren: They are a bit slow...
(11/11 21:01:04) Beatfox: Still enjoyable, nonetheless
(11/11 21:01:17) Cycreim: It's a lot of material to condense
(11/11 21:01:23) Beatfox: Indeed, heheh
(11/11 21:01:31) catherwood: won't UruLive need to provide all of that backstory anyw
(11/11 21:01:33) Gadren: Sorceress has a question
(11/11 21:01:44) jjohns (Marten): Yes, they do run a little slow. There is a lot to cover
conversations and we don't want to change what people said to make it faster. But I wi
go faster.
(11/11 21:01:59) jjohns (Marten): OK
(11/11 21:02:08) Sorceress: I know you'll got into detail in a later movie, but can you g
kidnapped?
(11/11 21:03:16) Nita: marten i thought you didnt work for Cyan...
(11/11 21:03:17) jjohns (Marten): I don't work for Cyan. :)
(11/11 21:03:17) Nita: Marten...sorry
(11/11 21:03:17) Nita: lol
(11/11 21:03:17) Beatfox: One little tip: The fading subtitles seem to take up a lot of ti
most subtitles work, you could probably pace them faster.
(11/11 21:03:47) jjohns (Marten): Cycreim, did you want to answer the kidnapping qu
(11/11 21:04:43) Cycreim: I don't know much about it, I wasn't around when it happen
(11/11 21:04:52) jjohns (Marten): Neither was I. :)
(11/11 21:05:01) Beatfox: Heh. That was the one thing I actually WAS around for. :P
(11/11 21:05:10) jjohns (Marten): We just have the chat logs to go by, and interviewin
remembered.
(11/11 21:05:16) Cycreim: I guess you'll find out when we get to that video. It's Episod
(11/11 21:05:20) jjohns (Marten): Which is something we're doing with each episode.
(11/11 21:05:28) Cycreim: Oh Beatfox if you want to explain it, go ahead
(11/11 21:06:30) Beatfox: Basically Phil was at the bridge in Ae'gura with Sharper and
(11/11 21:06:39) Beatfox: I'm trying to remember off the top of my head, hehe
(11/11 21:06:39) jjohns (Marten): This is actually good timing as I know other Great T
version for that event now.
(11/11 21:07:06) jjohns (Marten): http://www.thegreattree.com/media/
(11/11 21:07:17) jjohns (Marten): (without the exclamation point at the end)
(11/11 21:07:52) Beatfox: The details are all in the chatlog. But basically, the DRC gu
questioning. They wouldn't really elaborate.
(11/11 21:08:01) Beatfox: And they took Phil's Relto book from him.
(11/11 21:08:12) Cycreim: And forced him to use a book, IIRC
(11/11 21:08:32) Leftbrained waves
(11/11 21:08:35) Beatfox: Did they? I don't recall.
(11/11 21:08:37) Cycreim: Sharper was there, wanted both of them to escape by jumpi
(11/11 21:08:47) Cycreim: Man I think so...
(11/11 21:09:00) Cycreim: Sharper jumped, but Phil didn't...
(11/11 21:09:24) Cycreim: If memory serves.
(11/11 21:09:24) Beatfox: Dr. Watson assured those of us who were there that Phil wo
(11/11 21:09:29) Sorceress: Didn't Rand have to intercede as a go-between for negotia
another event?
(11/11 21:09:32) hana*: so phil is dead?
(11/11 21:09:45) Beatfox: We... don't know for certain.
(11/11 21:09:49) Cycreim: Phil's death is uncertain at this point
(11/11 21:09:57) Beatfox: His apparent death occured at a later date.
(11/11 21:10:01) Cycreim: We hope he's alive
(11/11 21:10:12) jjohns (Marten): That's a good question. We don't know. That is one

(11/11 21:10:22) Beatfox: haha
(11/11 21:10:22) hhenry: If you have access and clearance for CIA........
(11/11 21:10:36) hana*: ahh i love a mystery
(11/11 21:10:38) Cycreim: Cyan didn't know where Phil was either...
(11/11 21:10:49) Gadren: Sorceress, it wasn't negotian for relrease...it was more of "th
see Phil and assure the explorers that he's fine"
(11/11 21:10:49) catherwood (I'm on the surface, be back in a minute):
(11/11 21:11:10) Beatfox: I'm not sure if anyone actually jumped off the bridge. Sever
the time, but I don't remember if I saw anyone jump myself.
(11/11 21:11:11) hana*: so is a statement forthcoming
(11/11 21:11:20) Beatfox: It was pretty hard to see from such a distance.
(11/11 21:11:45) Beatfox: err, Rand?
(11/11 21:11:46) hhenry: Phil was the subject of a rendition.....
(11/11 21:11:49) jjohns (Marten): I think that's good for that question. Any others?
(11/11 21:11:51) Beatfox: I don't think Rand was there.
(11/11 21:12:10) Cycreim: Yeah, I think that's as much as we can answer... next?
(11/11 21:12:16) Gadren: Well, my queue's empty
(11/11 21:12:29) Gadren: If there's nothing more...I'll declare this meeting adjourned
(11/11 21:12:29) jjohns (Marten): Alright. Well, that has been about an hour. :)
(11/11 21:12:40) Gadren pounds gavel

Highlights -- Meeting <i>
with the DRC - 8 Here are some highlights from the meeting with the DRC. It does not cover everything
November 2006 chatlog.</i>
Vortmax: So, to make sure I have this correct: We are to help all groups in the Cavern
be needed for getting your word out soon too, if the Lattice goes down.
Tweek: GT hoax has been covered, not sure what I missed at the start of the meeting.
Vortmax: And in the further future, this job will fall under a Guild of Messengers.
Marie Sutherland: and another DRC town hall with exact time to be determined. <!--br
Vortmax: I guess first I'd like to know if you have any news for us, things the explorer
No complaints from me. You all did a great job at working with what you were given.
Dr. Kodama: Then lets get on with the future.

though we are the ones that initially asked for you. I see the liaisons as helping people

upcoming Town Hall with the Great Tree folks is an excellent example. In that case, th

Dr. Kodama: We'll have to think about that one. I don't know about the name change.
Eleri: you guys percolate it on your end. no sense rushing in
Eleri: Speaking of spread of information...we should probably touch on the Great Tree
stir up trouble though misinformation there...
Dr. Kodama: What now?
CAGrayWolf: Apparently (rumor) the DRC burned their jackets.
Vortmax: It's come out that it was a hoax though
Eleri: which they now know was a hoax, but somone they trusted passed it off as real.
Dr. Kodama: Who?
Eleri: no idea
Marie Sutherland: I saw it. I'm not sure who started the rumor, but it didn't even seem
appropriate. It was bound to be discovered to be hoax soon enough on its own.
Dr. Kodama: Well we can't control everything that is said anyway. So be it. There are
more lies in the future. Not everyone is a friend of the DRC. I'm fine with that.
CAGrayWolf: I would like to ask ... will the DRC be available for any TH's before the
Marie Sutherland: Yes. We would like one more to discuss the upcoming changes to th
timing, with our current schedules. My best estimate is that it would be sometime durin
We'll provide a more specific time frame as soon as we can.
Marie Sutherland: There are changes coming to the Cavern, as you're aware. Those cha
change a bit. For example, Laxman is working on the lattice as we speak.
Dr. Kodama: Working a.k.a. destroying. ;) We're expecting problems with it. Marie Su
but preparing for the worst :)
Vortmax: Any idea what kind of problems?
Dr. Kodama: If we're not able to send messages via the KI, we may depend on you. Th
- but I"m a pessimist.
Tweek: Guild of Messengers it is then ;)

Dr. Kodama: I need to go. I have a meeting with Cate. Good day all.

(01/03 13:02:11) Tweek: I'm not a Dr. I just play one on TV
(01/03 13:02:23) Cate Alexander: Yes.
(01/03 13:02:31) Eleri: nifty
(01/03 13:02:43) Vortmax: Oh no! Tweek!
(01/03 13:02:50) Eleri: Bahro got him again
(01/03 13:02:58) Cate Alexander: He do that often?
(01/03 13:03:15) Vortmax: Not usually, no.
(01/03 13:03:20) Eleri: he's got a twitchy linking book, I think
(01/03 13:03:39) Cate Alexander: Alright, I was hoping to have all five of you here bu
(01/03 13:03:40) Vortmax: It must be all the excitement :)
(01/03 13:03:51) Eleri: Is this your first chance to visit, Cate?
(01/03 13:04:14) Cate Alexander: Visit the cavern?
(01/03 13:04:33) Cate Alexander: I've been in the cavern quite a few times.
(01/03 13:04:42) Cate Alexander: I haven't been to this particular neighborhood.
(01/03 13:04:48) Cate Alexander: Is Tweek returning?
(01/03 13:04:58) Eleri: He should be on his way back
(01/03 13:04:58) Vortmax: I believe he is, as soon as he can Link back
(01/03 13:05:25) Cate Alexander: Well this won't be extremely formal so maybe we sh
(01/03 13:06:03) Vortmax: Sure
(01/03 13:06:04) Cate Alexander: I'm in the process of asessing a variety of areas, grou
the DRC and the liasons somewhat fall into those categories.
(01/03 13:06:05) Eleri says hi to Marie, too, so she doesn't feel forgotten :)
(01/03 13:06:18) Eleri: sounds interesting.
(01/03 13:06:22) Eleri: and complicated
(01/03 13:06:22) Cate Alexander: I'd like to know a little bit more about your group.
(01/03 13:06:50) Vortmax: Well, as I understand it, we are supposed to be a way to pa
Explorers

viewed by other explorers
(01/03 13:06:59) Cate Alexander: Is that happening?
(01/03 13:07:00) Marie Sutherland smiles at Eleri with a small nod.
(01/03 13:07:12) Eleri: some.
(01/03 13:07:19) Vortmax: Not often enough, though since the DRC has been so busy
(01/03 13:07:34) Eleri: the easiest way for the DRC to get a solid message to everyone
(01/03 13:07:56) Cate Alexander: So does that mean your role is not necessary?
(01/03 13:08:16) Eleri: I think it needs... expanded?
(01/03 13:08:27) Cate Alexander: Right.
(01/03 13:08:31) Vortmax: And defined. We still don't have a very clear definition of o
(01/03 13:08:46) Cate Alexander: What ways do you see yourselves expanding?
(01/03 13:08:53) Eleri: Like, if something happens, like the scream, it's easier to tell us
(01/03 13:09:02) Eleri: that much info won't fit in a KI message
(01/03 13:09:25) Cate Alexander: My impression is that people would be a little jealou
information.
(01/03 13:09:38) Cate Alexander: Have you found that to be the case or is that wrong?
(01/03 13:09:42) Eleri: *nod* some people always would be.
(01/03 13:09:59) Eleri: theres a few groups that have reall issues with supposed power
(01/03 13:10:10) Cate Alexander: Of course, there always will be.
(01/03 13:10:24) Cate Alexander: And I don't have much time for that.
(01/03 13:10:31) Eleri: but by and large, as long as we're not hiding info, people have
(01/03 13:10:41) Cate Alexander: But, at the same time, we want to make sure there is
(01/03 13:10:47) Eleri: exactly.
(01/03 13:11:03) Cate Alexander: Well, I'm not sure I'm going to have answers for you
(01/03 13:11:14) Cate Alexander: There is a lot to consider...
(01/03 13:11:22) Eleri nods
(01/03 13:11:24) Vortmax: That implies there will be answers though, and that's good.
(01/03 13:11:30) Cate Alexander: I will say I think there will be a role for you in the fu
(01/03 13:11:43) Anonymous Coward: well that was rather annoying
(01/03 13:11:45) Cate Alexander: But I won't guarantee it.
(01/03 13:11:51) Eleri: We've talked a little bit about writing down some of the things
(01/03 13:11:53) Anonymous Coward: oh please say you guys can here me?
(01/03 13:12:14) Vortmax: I hear you Tweek, though you're on the KI as Anonymous
(01/03 13:12:20) Anonymous Coward: yeah
(01/03 13:12:31) Eleri: weird
(01/03 13:12:31) sighs
(01/03 13:12:35) Anonymous Coward: brb
(01/03 13:12:49) Cate Alexander: Apparently Tweek has better things to do. : )
(01/03 13:12:57) Vortmax: He's trying to fix that KI bug.
(01/03 13:13:10) Cate Alexander: Regardless, it was a pleasure to meet you all and I h
one way or another - soon.
(01/03 13:13:19) Eleri: If I may ask, Cate, how did you get involved with the DRC?
(01/03 13:13:46) Cate Alexander: Long story... I don't have time for that now as I have
(01/03 13:13:50) Vortmax: And what is your role in the organization?
(01/03 13:13:55) Cate Alexander: Thank you again and we'll be in contact.
(01/03 13:14:02) Cate Alexander: Ready Marie?
(01/03 13:14:04) Vortmax thanks you very much!
