It is 3 PM, SL Time, and it is time to start. |

Carl Metropolitan |
Welcome to this Sunday's Oxbridge General Q&A. I am here to answer any of your questions about Second Life, Caledon, Oxbridge, Steampunk, Linden Lab, Virtual Worlds, and anything vaguely related to any of the above. I'm also good at trivia questions. |
| 15:00 |
Carl Metropolitan |
If I don't know the answer, I can Google it. In other words, I know where to look, or at least can probably put you in touch with someone who does know the answer. |
| 15:01 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Usually. |
| 15:01 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Okay. Does anyone have any announcements relating to Oxbridge they would like to make before we get started. |
| 15:02 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Only the Writers' Meeting in Thursdays. |
| 15:02 |
Carl Metropolitan |

| 15:04 |
Cychwynn |

| 15:05 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Yes, you need to be dressed properly. |

Carl Metropolitan |

| 15:05 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
I will announce the place a little later this week. Should be fun. That's all for now. |
| 15:06 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Good to see you all. |

| 15:06 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Thank you Andrea. |
| 15:06 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Heather, this is just a question and answer session. People ask questions, and we do our best to answer them. |
| 15:07 |
Carl Metropolitan |
With that said, let's move on to questions. |
| 15:07 |
нєαтнєя Rɵʂἔ (hrheather) |
gotcha |
| 15:07 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Does anyone have any questions? |
| 15:08 |
Ayuka Kurosawa (ayuka) |
/me raises her hand |
| 15:08 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Please ask away, Ayuka! |
| 15:08 |
Ayuka Kurosawa (ayuka) |
I was told there would be punch and pie? |
| 15:09 |
нєαтнєя Rɵʂἔ (hrheather) |
*fixes my brass knuckles to my right hand* |
| 15:10 |
Carl Metropolitan |
No. I am afraid there is no punch and pie. Just answers and questions. |
| 15:10 |
Ayuka Kurosawa (ayuka) |
/me snaps her fingers, "darn" |
| 15:10 |
Carl Metropolitan |
If there are no questions this afternoon, then I guess we have the shortest General Q&A on record. |
| 15:10 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Thank you all for coming tonight. |
| 15:10 |
Soup Jonson |
Oh my. |
| 15:11 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Next week will be Q&A With the Deans. |
| 15:11 |
Zaida Gearbox (zaida.gearbox) |

| 15:11 |
Carl Metropolitan |
And all the Oxbridge Deans will be on stage. |
| 15:11 |
Zaida Gearbox (zaida.gearbox) |
Think of something. |
| 15:11 |
Zaida Gearbox (zaida.gearbox) |
Who are the oxbridge deans? |
| 15:11 |
Ayuka Kurosawa (ayuka) |
Oh. |
| 15:11 |
Ayuka Kurosawa (ayuka) |
And who are you two? |
| 15:11 |
Soup Jonson |
I umm. |

Zaida Gearbox (zaida.gearbox) |

Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |

| 15:13 |
Zaida Gearbox (zaida.gearbox) |

Carl Metropolitan |
Lindal Kidd is Dean of Information |
| 15:13 |
Carl Metropolitan |
To find out more, click on the link Larky supplied. |
| 15:14 |
Carl Metropolitan |
As for me, I'm mostly retired from Oxbridge. But I was the co-founder and first Chancellor here. |
| 15:14 |
Zaida Gearbox (zaida.gearbox) |
Why did you retire? |
| 15:14 |
Ayuka Kurosawa (ayuka) |
Is there a secret 9th dean of mysteries? |
| 15:15 |
Carl Metropolitan |
No. There is not. |
| 15:15 |
AnyaCapri |
Shhh. |
| 15:15 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Thank you Kara. |
| 15:15 |
Carl Metropolitan |
I was tired, Zaida. |
| 15:15 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Thank you Zaida. |
| 15:15 |
Zaida Gearbox (zaida.gearbox) |
/me grins at Miz Andrea. |
| 15:15 |
нєαтнєя Rɵʂἔ (hrheather) |
In the years I've seen Caledon change an awful lot - the landscape. It's shrunk and expanded - like a breathing animal. a) is this question and answer ONLY about Oxbridge, or all Caledon b) if all Caledon, is there still role play in certain areas of Caledon? b-i) What role play? b-ii) and are further changes to the geography expected in the near future? |
| 15:15 |
Ayuka Kurosawa (ayuka) |
That's just what the Dean of Mysteries would say. |
| 15:16 |
Zaida Gearbox (zaida.gearbox) |
We have a little role play in Stormhold—Soup is a mad scientist. And imma naughty child. |
| 15:16 |
Soup Jonson |
/me nods |
| 15:16 |
Larky (larkylouz) |
Caledon is always changing, as residents move in, move out and decorate. |
| 15:16 |
нєαтнєя Rɵʂἔ (hrheather) |
Woohoo to mad scientific studies. |
| 15:16 |
Carl Metropolitan |
I am happy to answer questions about more than just Oxbridge. |
| 15:16 |
Zaida Gearbox (zaida.gearbox) |
and we're plotting the invasion of Tanglewood. |
| 15:16 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Caledon is "light roleplay". |
| 15:16 |
|
Soup Jonson again nods. |
| 15:16 |
Cychwynn |
that is just you and soup, Zaida. |
| 15:17 |
Carl Metropolitan |
If people want to roleplay, they are welcome to. |
| 15:17 |
Cychwynn |
XD |
| 15:17 |
Carl Metropolitan |
If they don't, then they are equally welcome to not. |
| 15:17 |
нєαтнєя Rɵʂἔ (hrheather) |
sensible choice... Tanglewood... yes... very sensible. |
| 15:17 |
Zaida Gearbox (zaida.gearbox) |
No you live in Stormhold, too. |
| 15:17 |
Carl Metropolitan |
As for Caledon shrinking or growing, that depends on the demand for land here. |
| 15:17 |
Cychwynn |
Oh serious question about land. |
| 15:17 |
Zaida Gearbox (zaida.gearbox) |
Stormhold is almost all full. *beams with pride* |
| 15:17 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Desmond Shang the owner of the Caledon estate can only support as many sims as he has people to rent. |
| 15:18 |
Cychwynn |
Is there any place in caledon that shows all available plots? |
| 15:18 |
нєαтнєя Rɵʂἔ (hrheather) |
Well here's hoping on expansion and too many people wanting to buy. |
| 15:18 |
Carl Metropolitan |
It would be nice Heather. |
| 15:18 |
Soup Jonson |
Stormhold is lovely this time of year. |
| 15:18 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Cychwynn, there is not a central listing of all land for sale here. |
| 15:19 |
Cychwynn |
Ahh thank you, then I will still go on a Caledon horsey land hunt with my seeking friend :) |
| 15:19 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
There has been people interested about a plot; I tell them to explore to find free plots. |
| 15:19 |
нєαтнєя Rɵʂἔ (hrheather) |
((supper just PINGED and I'm going to dish up)) |
| 15:19 |
Zaida Gearbox (zaida.gearbox) |
Why not? |
| 15:19 |
Carl Metropolitan |
The best I can suggest to anyone is that they ask for available parcels in the ISC (Independent State of Caledon) group or the Caledon Oxbridge Help group |
| 15:19 |
Zaida Gearbox (zaida.gearbox) |
Why don't your friend rent that empty parcel near me an' soup? |
| 15:19 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
ISC is invitation-only group. |
| 15:19 |
Zaida Gearbox (zaida.gearbox) |
Are they afraid that Soup is polluting the water. |
| 15:19 |
Carl Metropolitan |
If Desmond Shang is online, he can always help you. |
| 15:19 |
нєαтнєя Rɵʂἔ (hrheather) |
((<-- super highly domesticated vampire)) |
| 15:19 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Mari Moonbeam can assist you as well. |
| 15:20 |
Larky (larkylouz) |
Isn't Mari in charge of rentals these days? |
| 15:20 |
Larky (larkylouz) |
Jinx! |
| 15:20 |
Cychwynn |
Ha. No zaida she wants no bigger then a 512. |
| 15:20 |
Kara2016 |
Welcome too the neighborhood, Heather. |
| 15:20 |
Carl Metropolitan |
I don't know what is available in Stormhold I'm afraid. I am sure that there is a 512 somewhere in Caledon for rent though. |
| 15:20 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Or you can try to talk to Jorge Serapis. |
| 15:21 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Does Jorge keep track of vacant parcels? |
| 15:21 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
He is Regent, able to deal with land. |
| 15:21 |
Cychwynn |
Oh yeah Carl i know its not open in Stormhold; she is open to anywhere in Caledon that she likes the look of I think :) |
| 15:21 |
lovejoy2199 |
We have a Regent? |
| 15:22 |
Zaida Gearbox (zaida.gearbox) |
What about Tanglewood; that's near Stormhold. |
| 15:22 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Okay. I don't think Jorge is regent. I may have missed the Group Notice though. |
| 15:22 |
Zaida Gearbox (zaida.gearbox) |
What is a regent? |
| 15:23 |
Carl Metropolitan |
An old title for the person who ruled a monarchy when the king or queen was unable to for reasons of illness or being underage. |
| 15:23 |
Larky (larkylouz) |
NOUN - A person appointed to administer a country because the monarch is a minor or is absent or incapacitated. NORTH AMERICAN - A member of the governing body of a university or other academic institution. |
| 15:23 |
Cychwynn |
Nope, Zaida nothing open in Tangle[wood], or Kitti[wickshire] for a 512 m2. |
| 15:23 |
Kara2016 |
...flying through Tanglewood last night, I did not see any parcel available... |
| 15:23 |
Carl Metropolitan |
In Caledon terms, someone who helps out Desmond. |
| 15:23 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Lady Aevalle can help. |
| 15:24 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
He at least used to be in the position to deal with land rentals and the like. |
| 15:24 |
Kara2016 |
I think Mr. Triode Enbie has taken most of the seaside parcels in Kitti[wickshire]... |
| 15:24 |
Larky (larkylouz) |
Someone just asked me if there is a castle in Caledon? |
| 15:25 |
Zaida Gearbox (zaida.gearbox) |
Every home is the Castle of the people that live there. |
| 15:25 |
Carl Metropolitan |
I think there are several. |
| 15:25 |
Zaida Gearbox (zaida.gearbox) |
But my house is the most excellent house in all of Caledon. *nods* |
| 15:25 |
AnyaCapri |
There's one in Cymru, not much in it though |
| 15:25 |
Kara2016 |
lots of Castles in Stormhold mountains. |
| 15:25 |
Cychwynn |
Hmmm. I politely disagree Zaida! I love my house ;) |
| 15:25 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Yes. Cymru is likely the largest castle in Caledon. |
| 15:26 |
Larky (larkylouz) |
Thanks. I passed on the info. |
| 15:26 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Weirdly enough, I had a castle on the mainland before I moved to Caledon. |
| 15:27 |
Kara2016 |
Smiles brightly. |
| 15:27 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Any other questions? |
| 15:29 |
Carl Metropolitan |

| 15:29 |

| 15:32 |
Kara2016 |
Ok… was making sure. |
| 15:32 |
Kara2016 |
Thank you. |
| 15:32 |
Larky (larkylouz) |
Breach party? That sounds fun.... |
| 15:32 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Might do the listening event again. |
| 15:32 |
AnyaCapri |
Once more, onto the beach! |
| 15:32 |
Lightweaver Balan |
Fill the breach |

Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
