| 14:02 | Phrynne | hi Cynthia, Word |
| 14:02 | Cynthia Farshore | Greetings |
| 14:02 | Cynthia Farshore | and to everyone |
| 14:02 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Hi, Phrynne |
| 14:02 | Zahra Ethaniel | Hi Mari. Phrynne, and Cynthia |
| 14:02 | NeoBokrug Elytis | First; Winter is here. :D I hope everyone has a great holiday season. |
| 14:02 | Katie (katie.canningham) | Hi Wordsmith and Jorge! Hi Mari! |
| 14:03 | Jorge Serapis | *waves to everyone!* |
| 14:03 | Mari Moonbeam | waves ! |
| 14:03 | Zahra Ethaniel | Hi Aury and Elfbiter |
| 14:03 | Katie (katie.canningham) | Mari, the snow in Port Caledon is great! |
| 14:03 | Aury (aurysa) | hi there Zahra |
| 14:03 | Phrynne | hi Jorge and Zahra |
| 14:03 | NeoBokrug Elytis | Special thanks for Mari for helping out with the estate land textures. I am slowly learning the setups everyone has here. It's been really cool to fly around and see everything all wintery! |
| 14:03 | Zahra Ethaniel | :) Hi Jorge |
| 14:04 | Mari Moonbeam | pleasure & ty |
| 14:04 | Kara of the bright smile (kara2016) | Smiles brightly. |
| 14:04 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | Ravelli has used his own emitter at times |
| 14:05 | NeoBokrug Elytis | This past month I have been slowly picking at things across the estate, working on infrastructure here and there. |
| 14:05 | NeoBokrug Elytis | I've also been getting to know folks, which is quite pleasant. I was worried most folks were afraid of me, but that's just me. :) |
| 14:06 | NeoBokrug Elytis | We've got our own Community Discord server now, no pressure to join discord -- but I will usually be making announcements there first, and everywhere else within a couple hours: https://discord.gg/u6bZFaCG4y |
| 14:06 | NeoBokrug Elytis | Also, if you're there now -- you may notice the "event" posing for this meeting in discord has started. It's a good reminder. |
| 14:07 | Kara of the bright smile (kara2016) | Smiles brightly. |
| 14:07 | NeoBokrug Elytis | I want to contact all the regular event hosts, train them how to use events in Discord, so they can post Caledon Specific events there. It is really a useful tool. |
| 14:09 | NeoBokrug Elytis | I also want to adjust how events are posted in Caledon Groups. It is my understanding that the google calendars do not see much use, and we lean heavily on inworld notices for events. Right now it seems events are posted as they happen. Which is really tough for me personally, because I have to schedule my time. I suspect others may have similar time constraints. |
| 14:10 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) intentionally posts noticed hour before the event. | |
| 14:12 | Cynthia Farshore | It's been that if you post hours before or days people forget or miss |
| 14:13 | Mari Moonbeam | can we do both? group for the gnat brain and Discord for planning? |
| 14:13 | NeoBokrug Elytis | I am open to ideas and feedback for what's best for folks. Even if it's a hybrid of what we have now, and improved ideas. But I did bounce the idea off of some other estate managers. I was originally going to ask for a minimum of 3 days for posting a group NOTICE, and then within 15 minutes of staring time you can remind folks in group CHAT that your event is starting soon. But then after the discussion 1 day for the NOTICE seemed much better. That way the group notice doesn't eat up an offline IM, and folks who are online, will be reminded in chat. |
| 14:14 | NeoBokrug Elytis | Discord helps me post to social media about what's planned. If they're listed there, I can gather them all out, and make a big list of "Events for This Week" |
| 14:14 | NeoBokrug Elytis | Also in Discord you can click "interested", and it'll remind you. |
| 14:15 | NeoBokrug Elytis | But group notices and chat are still required in SL I think. |
| 14:15 | NeoBokrug Elytis | I don't want to migrate away from that. |
| 14:15 | Katie (katie.canningham) | And isn't it easier to categorize things in Discord too? |
| 14:15 | Zahra Ethaniel | I think a Hybrid would be great, hit all bases that way |
| 14:15 | NeoBokrug Elytis | "Events" are all in one cluster, but they can look pretty. |
| 14:15 | NeoBokrug Elytis | Let me share a screenshot if I can, of what The Wastelands looks like. |
| 14:16 | Mari Moonbeam | my gnat brain likes that, I go for the shiny in front of me |
| 14:16 | Katie (katie.canningham) | but is there a way to keep them from being a reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeallly long list of same looking stuff that lets stuff get missed too easily? |
| 14:16 | NeoBokrug Elytis | https://imgur.com/a/w74Jnoc |
| 14:16 | Katie (katie.canningham) | I'm a gnat brain so maybe it's a dumb question - forgive me |
| 14:17 | NeoBokrug Elytis | I ask folks to submit events by Wednesdays, and to keep it fresh. |
| 14:17 | Darlingmonster Ember | mmm nice format |
| 14:17 | Zahra Ethaniel | Yes |
| 14:17 | NeoBokrug Elytis | I post things on Thursdays |
| 14:17 | Katie (katie.canningham) | YESH |
| 14:17 | Mari Moonbeam | do you have to join imgur? |
| 14:17 | NeoBokrug Elytis | And I don't allow recurring event posts. |
| 14:17 | NeoBokrug Elytis | Mari: No |
| 14:17 | NeoBokrug Elytis | That's just a site for sharing images. |
| 14:18 | Cynthia Farshore | Just seems since have Independent State of Caledon with channels Oxbridge , market..just add #events |
| 14:18 | Phrynne | then where will recurring events be posted, if at all? |
| 14:18 | NeoBokrug Elytis | Manually. |
| 14:18 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | Writers' Meeting is in Thursdays |
| 14:18 | NeoBokrug Elytis | The problem with automated recurring events, is folks will plan to attend, and then it might be canceled, or discontinued. |
| 14:19 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | Or host cannot log in. |
| 14:19 | NeoBokrug Elytis | I know it is tedious, but it's important even if the event is recurring -- post what the subject is. |
| 14:19 | NeoBokrug Elytis | For instance Drifter has storytime, and even though it's mostly the same for weeks, he submits a picture of the book, and what it's about, who the writer is. |
| 14:20 | NeoBokrug Elytis | While Apo, posts that she's playing music, but it might be a themed set. |
| 14:20 | NeoBokrug Elytis | And, using discord COMBINED with inworld Group Notices and chat, in addition to a listed post of upcoming events on social media, is rather effective. |
| 14:21 | Katie (katie.canningham) | Does Discord also have calendars? |
| 14:21 | Inspector Dooley | Yup! :D |
| 14:21 | Inspector Dooley | As in, that its effective |
| 14:21 | NeoBokrug Elytis | I don't mind gathering up the list of events, and posting things on behalf of Caledon. It takes me an hour for The Wastelands. Might take a little longer here. |
| 14:21 | Cynthia Farshore | and I can tell you Caledon Nights has had to cancel dances and had to put notices out within the hour of it |
| 14:22 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | DJ trouble ensues |
| 14:22 | NeoBokrug Elytis | Cynthia, it's not a silver bullet. We've had folks have general issues that all events face. But the idea is to bring maximum awareness to the events. |
| 14:22 | NeoBokrug Elytis | Diamanda lost power about 10 minutes before her live performance. Things happen, messages are communicated. :) |
| 14:22 | Cynthia Farshore | it seems that a discord channel would have such easy to find as you have to open group info and dig up a notice |
| 14:23 | NeoBokrug Elytis | And if you're interested Discord will remind you when it starts. As helpful as groups are, they're a bit clunky in SL. |
| 14:25 | NeoBokrug Elytis | I will more than likely reach out to all the regular event hosts, and start with them. There's a special events host channel, for when you want to plan larger community events or share information with each other. |
| 14:25 | NeoBokrug Elytis | I'll also see how they all feel about changing how events are posted to groups with notices and chat. |
| 14:26 | Cynthia Farshore | Well I'm all for setting up an events channel in Discord as not only makes them easy to find you won't have to log into SL to be in the know |
| 14:26 | NeoBokrug Elytis | But for me to post to social media, I will need folks to contact me before I post events for the upcoming week. I'll probably keep it on Wednesday evenings as the hard deadline, and I'll make my own inworld group announcement for that. |
| 14:27 | Mari Moonbeam | Thanks Guv, you're taking on a lot of work for us , appreciate it |
| 14:27 | NeoBokrug Elytis | Once we have a regular system set up, it'll be a lot easier to keep tabs on things. :) |
| 14:27 | NeoBokrug Elytis | Nooo problem! |
| 14:27 | Darlingmonster Ember | nods |
| 14:27 | Katie (katie.canningham) | ♩♪♫♬ APPAWS! ♩♪♫♬ |
| 14:27 | NeoBokrug Elytis | Cross-Over events! |
| 14:28 | Mari Moonbeam | skiing? |
| 14:28 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | I do post notice to multiple groups anyway. |
| 14:28 | NeoBokrug Elytis | They are where Wastelanders are invited to one event per month in Caledon -- posted in The Wastelands groups. And where Caledonians are invited to Wastelands events in The Wastelands -- posted to Caledon groups. |
| 14:28 | Darlingmonster Ember | oh, not cross-species swapping |
| 14:28 | Darlingmonster Ember | nod |
| 14:29 | Katie (katie.canningham) checks her inventory for her Geiger counter | |
| 14:29 | Cynthia Farshore | 0.o |
| 14:29 | Zahra Ethaniel chuckles | |
| 14:29 | Magda Kamenev (magdalena.kamenev) | But will there be waffles and wootberry syrup at both events? |
| 14:29 | NeoBokrug Elytis | I have a few applications for the month of December, here. I tend to favor events that have been hosted before. Events that are also seasonal. And events that do not have hard thematic requirements. :) |
| 14:29 | Katie (katie.canningham) | even if I have to bring 'em! |
| 14:30 | Mari Moonbeam | num num |
| 14:30 | Katie (katie.canningham) | hooray for weird! |
| 14:30 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) tried to add themes but discussion always diverged to something else... | |
| 14:30 | NeoBokrug Elytis | I will stop taking applications by SUNDAY. SO if you have an idea for an event you want to invite Wastelanders to. IM me with the date, time, title, and a short description of your event, with a SLURL. |
| 14:30 | NeoBokrug Elytis | I can only pick one person per month, and I favor those who haven't run something last month. |
| 14:30 | Katie (katie.canningham) | Janpooh!!! |
| 14:30 | Darlingmonster Ember | Santa Jan! Hiya |
| 14:31 | Katie (katie.canningham) | :) |
| 14:31 | Jan Stroikavskoi whispers Hi everyone :) | |
| 14:31 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | Wasterlanders of more or less human size are welcome :-) |
| 14:31 | NeoBokrug Elytis | Please don't be upset if I don't pick you this month, I just want to keep a rotation on things. Keep applying every month, and I'll eventually pick you. |
| 14:31 | Zahra Ethaniel | Hugs Sis |
| 14:31 | Jan Stroikavskoi | thanks sis, hugs back :) |
| 14:31 | Magda Kamenev (magdalena.kamenev) | Human size is not fun-size |
| 14:31 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | Place is small |
| 14:32 | Katie (katie.canningham) | I assume they can come to other stuff too, just not as official crossover event? |
| 14:32 | NeoBokrug Elytis | Sunday (tomorrow), Midnight is my hard deadline. In the future, I will ask for applicants during the last week of the month. However, since December is a general wash -- I will ask the first week of January. |
| 14:32 | NeoBokrug Elytis | Oh yeah. A cross-over is only really defined that I post Caledon Events in The WAstelands, and vice-versa. |
| 14:32 | NeoBokrug Elytis | The communities are VERY similar at heart. |
| 14:33 | Cynthia Farshore | Just we're nuts and they are wasted |
| 14:33 | Magda Kamenev (magdalena.kamenev) | Thanks, Elf. |
| 14:33 | NeoBokrug Elytis | Any questions about general events stuff? |
| 14:33 | NeoBokrug Elytis | Haha yeah! |
| 14:33 | Inspector Dooley | Same taste, different smell |
| 14:33 | Katie (katie.canningham) | WE glow in different ways |
| 14:34 | Mari Moonbeam | we have doors |
| 14:34 | Jan Stroikavskoi | yes can you repeat everything i missed please Neo? (just kidding lol) |
| 14:34 | Katie (katie.canningham) | I love that group |
| 14:34 | NeoBokrug Elytis | Word can help you there later Jan. :) |
| 14:34 | Zahra Ethaniel | I think there will be a transcript posted :) |
| 14:34 | Jan Stroikavskoi | yes i know, just pulling your leg ;) |
| 14:35 | Cynthia Farshore | Just rewind Guvnah's tape and hit play |
| 14:35 | Katie (katie.canningham) passes out. | |
| 14:35 | Magda Kamenev (magdalena.kamenev) blinks. | |
| 14:35 | Zahra Ethaniel | O.O |
| 14:35 | NeoBokrug Elytis | Occupancy is rather stellar in Caledon. Typically as a parcel opens up, it's gone within a day. If this keeps up, I may have to add a new region to the estate. |
| 14:35 | Mari Moonbeam | odd |
| 14:35 | Darlingmonster Ember | I had my hands in my pockets the entire time!!!! |
| 14:35 | Cynthia Farshore | ooohhh jezzz *nose pinch* |
| 14:35 | Zahra Ethaniel grins | |
| 14:35 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Yes, I am collecting the transcript as we go |
| 14:35 | Magda Kamenev (magdalena.kamenev) | Usually, the perv would be me, but in this case ... |
| 14:36 | NeoBokrug Elytis | I will finish Caledon Carriag Neamhai, make a few improvements to existing regions, and see if Occupancy still does well once I make Neamhai available. |
| 14:36 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | Would that be the duchy one? |
| 14:36 | NeoBokrug Elytis | Yup. |
| 14:36 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | Okay |
| 14:37 | NeoBokrug Elytis | Then, if things are still great for some time. I'll start taking reservations. |
| 14:37 | Cynthia Farshore | Guvnah did you know what you was getting into trying to lead this bunch |
| 14:37 | Katie (katie.canningham) giggles uncontrollably | |
| 14:37 | Magda Kamenev (magdalena.kamenev) sings "Pass the Duchy on the left-hand side ... I said ..." | |
| 14:37 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | Hm. I don't think management fads apply in this bunch of people.... |
| 14:37 | NeoBokrug Elytis | Mostly. I wasn't active here, but I talked to Des throughout the years. |
| 14:38 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | And my dad was teaching management... |
| 14:38 | NeoBokrug Elytis | Oh! |
| 14:39 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | Dad managed the management school of Nokia company when they still had one... |
| 14:39 | Kara of the bright smile (kara2016) | hhmm..did not know my juke box reached this far.. |
| 14:39 | Cynthia Farshore | Yes I been seeing the work on Caledon Carriag Neamhai oh by the way did you know you have the auto-return set for ..one second! |
| 14:40 | Katie (katie.canningham) | that's fast! |
| 14:40 | NeoBokrug Elytis | I brought another tier-helper from The Wastelands over; it is the auto-tier-paying Cog. Basically, if you're a CURRENT resident of Caledon, you can grab one from the west wing of the Guvnahs Mansion. If you rez it and set it up on your parcel -- it'll pay your tier if you can't log in for some reason. |
| 14:40 | Mari Moonbeam | he's on to us |
| 14:40 | NeoBokrug Elytis | Neamhai is set to 1 minute, just because it's a work in progress. |
| 14:40 | Darlingmonster Ember | nice trick |
| 14:40 | Cynthia Farshore | made the re-routing of the Santa Sleigh Ride rather,,interesting |
| 14:41 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | Was that the reason you went through Oxbridge? |
| 14:41 | NeoBokrug Elytis | Oh hah! I think if you're sitting on it, it is exempt from return? If you need it longer to set it up, let me know. |
| 14:41 | Cynthia Farshore | no it's 1 second if you want a minute you need to put in 60 |
| 14:42 | NeoBokrug Elytis | Auto return is by minutes. :) |
| 14:42 | Mari Moonbeam | yes minutes |
| 14:42 | Darlingmonster Ember | true |
| 14:42 | Phrynne | yes |
| 14:42 | Cynthia Farshore | well I can say I watched things go instantly |
| 14:43 | Cynthia Farshore | but don't worry didn't mean it to be a big issue |
| 14:43 | Mari Moonbeam | prob because not owned by Neo? |
| 14:43 | NeoBokrug Elytis | I originally made the auto-tier-paying tool for folks who might not be able to log in as a safety net. In case their computer broke, or their net went out. Probably half of The Wastelanders use it as a set-it-and-forget-it tool. Which I guess works, but I didn't expect that. |
| 14:44 | Darlingmonster Ember | can it be adapted to do massages? |
| 14:44 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) hears that the song retail workers hate is playing in the background. | |
| 14:44 | Swiftly Streeter | That requires extra work Darling and Neo charges for that |
| 14:44 | NeoBokrug Elytis | The most demanded thing Caledon and Wastelanders are asking me to finish; is the tier syncing tool. I have a good idea how I want to make it, but I can't commit to anything until after the holidays. |
| 14:44 | Darlingmonster Ember | :D |
| 14:44 | Katie (katie.canningham) needs a nice massage | |
| 14:45 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) tells his automatons to give Katie good massage | |
| 14:45 | NeoBokrug Elytis | I hear the mutants with the extra arms in The Wastelands give good massages. |
| 14:45 | Katie (katie.canningham) | thankee Elf! |
| 14:45 | NeoBokrug Elytis | Just be wary if they start rubbing spices in. |
| 14:45 | Mari Moonbeam | iMassage - Victorian or sandcastle? |
| 14:46 | NeoBokrug Elytis | Any questions about anything we've discussed so far today? |
| 14:46 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | llGiveMassage (Katie) |
| 14:46 | Katie (katie.canningham) | ahhh |
| 14:46 | Magda Kamenev (magdalena.kamenev) | Quel est tier syncing, s'il vous plait? |
| 14:46 | Mari Moonbeam | I watch Neamhai for large stewpots |
| 14:46 | NeoBokrug Elytis | I am still working on it Magda ( I think that's what you're asking for ) |
| 14:47 | Magda Kamenev (magdalena.kamenev) | Oui, but what is it supposed to do, once done? |
| 14:47 | NeoBokrug Elytis | OH! |
| 14:48 | Darlingmonster Ember | All the tier meters go underwater at the same time..... |
| 14:48 | NeoBokrug Elytis | The way it works is it will take your current list of parcels you own, find out which one is the furthest out. It will add one day to that, and will bring up the amount of days that all other parcels need to meet that day -- tally it all up, and present a paybox. That paybox will make all your parcels due on the same day. Then, using the tier panels in the west wing of the Guvnahs mansion, you can pay one week or four weeks. Or use the sync payment again to add single days to all parcels. |
| 14:49 | Magda Kamenev (magdalena.kamenev) | Aha ... |
| 14:49 | Darlingmonster Ember | wow... |
| 14:49 | Magda Kamenev (magdalena.kamenev) | Merci. |
| 14:49 | Darlingmonster Ember | that's brill |
| 14:49 | NeoBokrug Elytis | You can't go back, or over 24 weeks, but you can give yourself a weekly date or something. |
| 14:50 | NeoBokrug Elytis | It's been in the works for over a year now. It all works in my head, I just need to code it all up. |
| 14:51 | Zahra Ethaniel | That will be handy |
| 14:51 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | And test it, of course |
| 14:51 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | No programming without testing |
| 14:51 | NeoBokrug Elytis | On to the last thing; another Community Event that started in The Wastelands, but has been adapted to Caledon. Just West of us is the Caledon Community Tree. EVERYONE is allowed to add a small LI decoration, and a boxed gift for ANYONE to take during the last week of the month. Total LI use by avatars should not exceed 5. |
| 14:52 | Katie (katie.canningham) | ooo nice! |
| 14:52 | Katie (katie.canningham) | ooo nice! |
| 14:52 | NeoBokrug Elytis | Does anyone need a notecard to explain it? If so shoot me an IM now. |
| 14:52 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | Aim carefully... |
| 14:53 | NeoBokrug Elytis | Word: Can you in-line the notecard in the logs? |
| 14:53 | NeoBokrug Elytis | It is the one from the group notice. :) Greetings Everyone! Winter has come to Caledon! I am bringing another fun tradition over from The Wastelands, and polishing it up for an extra Classy Caledon adaptation. I present to you the Caledon Holiday Tree, an event that runs through all of December. In summary, there's a Holiday Tree in Caledon. Anyone can decorate it, and leave gifts for everyone to take. Most folks claim their gifts on the last week of the year. And we'll take some pictures of the decorated tree for us to remember as time wears on. EVERYONE, even folks not from Caledon, are allowed to decorate and leave gifts for others to take, but please limit your *TOTAL* LI use to 5. Gifts should --ideally-- be something you made, or at the very least have permission to distribute. They can be any asset. If you did not create the item, you will NEED transfer and copy permissions for it. Items that are not copy, or no transfer will not work as intended. Either they won't dispense, or only one person gets the gift. Because most folks claim their gifts during the last week of December, one should strive to have their contributions done by the 24th. On January 1st, everything will be cleaned up and returned. Like Gifts, decorations should be only a few LI. You do not NEED to create them, but a personal touch would be extra nice. How to prepare gifts under the tree: A single item will be your gift dispenser, make it look like an unopened gift or card, and ideally it should be low LI. Put all the things you want to give away inside your gift box. In the build menu, tick "For Sale", change the drop-down to "Contents", set the price to L$0 and press "Apply". Some hard enforced rules: Only Gifts and Decor are allowed. Promotions of events, or ads of any kind are STRICTLY forbidden near the Holiday Tree. However, the contents of your gift may include a landmark. There is a 5 LI MAXIMUM per person. This includes your gift and decor. If you go over your items WILL be returned. Be sensible: Please, no particles, spammy noise, music, or full-bright items, unless the fullbright items are decor lights. Don't have your gifts or decor take up all the space ever. Leave room for everyone to participate. Since this event is adapted from The Wastelands Giftmas TREE (it's not even a real tree at all), I am including a landmark, and I invite you to leave your gifts there as well as decorate it. I am sure Wastelanders will leave their own... contributions here in Caledon. And finally, I am including a landmark to Bleedy the Dirtman, kind of a spin-off event inspired by The Giftmas TREE. Sam Wyx invites the fine folk of Caledon to help decorate bleedy with low LI contributions. There's even a link there to a free PDF Comic Book telling the origins of Bleedy, and showing off his past iterations.
