Eliyyahu (anakainoo) |
Does Caleson Oxbridge have its own sandbox area? |
| 15:08 |
Ember (emberell) |
Yes, it does! |
| 15:08 |
Ember (emberell) |
There's a teleporter up to itt from campus, but let me give you a landmark too |

Eliyyahu (anakainoo) |
I agree |

Andrea Jones (andreajonesms3) |
and always check for invisible pieces |

| 15:13 |
Eliyyahu (anakainoo) |
Dean is there a listing available of possible lands to buy or rent on Caledon Oxbridge or houses to rent or buy here on Caledon Oxbridge? |
| 15:14 |
Ember (emberell) |
Not currently, though you can usually ask after it from Mari Moonbeam |

Eliyyahu (anakainoo) |

| 15:18 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
No more news about the Quest? |
| 15:19 |
Ember (emberell) |
From what Word said last week - there's some organizing to see what can be done about it. |
| 15:19 |
Ember (emberell) |
The previous person maintaining the quest, Marion Questi, has expressed that they would like to step back from SL matters |
| 15:20 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Okay |
| 15:20 |
Ember (emberell) |
Other questions? |
| 15:21 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms3) |
do cabbages have kings? |
| 15:21 |
Phrynne |
or pigs have wings? |
| 15:21 |
Ember (emberell) |
Hm. I'm not sure if cabbages are a monarchy... |
| 15:21 |
Yikes (aiyiai) |
Or why the sea is icy hot |
| 15:21 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms3) |
is the sea boiling hot? |
| 15:21 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Language barrier... |
| 15:21 |
Phrynne |
it's a bit warm |
| 15:22 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms3) |
poor little clams |
| 15:22 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms3) |

| 15:22 |
|
Katie (katie.canningham) cries for them |
| 15:22 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms3) |
and none for me |
| 15:22 |
Ember (emberell) |
hehehe |
| 15:22 |
Ember (emberell) |
If we haven't any more questions, I'm tempted to wrap things up early - so please do ask! |
| 15:23 |
|
Katie (katie.canningham) raises a hand |
| 15:23 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms3) |
is it your hand? |
| 15:23 |
Katie (katie.canningham) |
yes |
| 15:23 |
Katie (katie.canningham) |
I promise |
| 15:23 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms3) |
ok |
| 15:23 |
|
Katie (katie.canningham) hides the string |
| 15:23 |
Ember (emberell) |
Katie, what's up? |
| 15:23 |
Katie (katie.canningham) |
COU dance is next week? |

| 15:24 |
Katie (katie.canningham) |

| 15:24 |
Ember (emberell) |
Yes, it should be. WAiting to hear from Sasha about details I believe |
| 15:24 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms3) |

| 15:24 |
Ember (emberell) |

Andrea Jones (andreajonesms3) |

Andrea Jones (andreajonesms3) |

| 15:24 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms3) |
letme check |
| 15:24 |
Katie (katie.canningham) |
thankee! |
| 15:24 |
Eliyyahu (anakainoo) |
Dean Ember, I understand that Caledon is it own separate entity as a part of SL. How many land regions make up all of Caledon? |
| 15:25 |
Ember (emberell) |
currently, I believe it is around 17 regions in all of Caledon |
| 15:25 |
Ember (emberell) |
The number shifts as renters come and go, however. |
| 15:25 |
Ember (emberell) |
I DO very much recommend taking the tour via the trains, or airships, sometime |
| 15:26 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms3) |
yes. the party is next week. carnival |
| 15:26 |
Ember (emberell) |
There's so much to see here |
| 15:26 |
Katie (katie.canningham) |
ooo! |
| 15:26 |
Eliyyahu (anakainoo) |
... ah, ok, this does sound quite interesting, ty ty |
| 15:26 |
Phrynne |
The airship rides are excellent |
| 15:26 |
Katie (katie.canningham) |
yes!!! |
| 15:26 |
Kali Foxx (maxinefox2008) |
I've barely explored any of it |
| 15:26 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms3) |
be sure to stick your head under the water around the regions. |
| 15:26 |
Katie (katie.canningham) |
the trains are fun too |
| 15:26 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms3) |
sometimes there is stuff under there |
| 15:26 |
Ember (emberell) |
there are stops all throughout caledon, including at Oxbridge |
| 15:26 |
Ember (emberell) |
yes! |
| 15:26 |
Ember (emberell) |
There's so uch to see and it's all open for exploring |
| 15:27 |
Kali Foxx (maxinefox2008) whispers |
I should explore more in SL |
| 15:27 |
lovejoy2199 |
But watch out for the 'laser sharks'. |
| 15:27 |
Phrynne |
oh, they don't bite unless teased. |
| 15:27 |
Ember (emberell) |
Just be mindful going too high up - private areas are up in the sky |
| 15:27 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
and the flying kranes |
| 15:27 |
Ember (emberell) |
(unless a public teleporter or door takes you there, of course) |
| 15:28 |
Eliyyahu (anakainoo) |
finally Dean Ember, are their shops around Caledon where I can purchase clothing attire appropriate with the Celedon era?? |
| 15:28 |
Ember (emberell) |
I believe there are still a few clothing stores, though many of the ones in the villagee aren't here any more. |
| 15:29 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms3) |
the door outside the pub in the village has a teleport to the stellarium if you wish to vist |
| 15:29 |
Ember (emberell) |
Oxbridge village and Victoria city are good spaces to check for stores though |
| 15:29 |
|
Ember (emberell) nods |
| 15:29 |
Ember (emberell) |
All of anDrea's areas are usually open to all |
| 15:29 |
Eliyyahu (anakainoo) |
excellent, tyty |
| 15:29 |
Ember (emberell) |
We have some free outfits too for steampunk at Oxbridge proper |
| 15:29 |
Ember (emberell) |
so your'e welcome to make use of those as you see fit |
| 15:29 |
Larky (larkylouz) |
marketplace.secondlife.com is a good source for steampunk shops |
| 15:29 |
Ember (emberell) |
Both in the orientation, and through the train station |
| 15:29 |
Ember (emberell) |
and yes, as LArky said, using the marketplace, and the search feature, can help yo ufind other shops too |
| 15:30 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms3) |

What are classifieds in SL? |
| 15:37 |
Ember (emberell) |
Classifieds are like personal ads in a newspaper! |
| 15:37 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms3) |

| 15:37 |
Phrynne |

| 15:39 |
Ember (emberell) |
And, on the off chance questions occur outside of the Q&A (unthinkable, I know!), you're all always welcome to visit Oxbridge or use the group to ask us! |
| 15:41 |
Eliyyahu (anakainoo) |
... Does Caledon Oxbridge ever have fundraised or events to help with keeping itself going, being so large as it is with many regions?? |
| 15:41 |
Ember (emberell) |
Yes, actually! |
| 15:41 |
Eliyyahu (anakainoo) |
yays |
| 15:41 |
Ember (emberell) |
Those are most often the biweekly events, but there are many events run to help keep things going |
| 15:41 |
Katie (katie.canningham) |
and they're fun! |
| 15:41 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
All the time |
| 15:41 |
Ember (emberell) |
And you never are required to donate to attend! |
| 15:41 |
Ember (emberell) |
honestly just -being- here means a lot to us |
| 15:42 |

| 15:42 |
Kali Foxx (maxinefox2008) |
Does elf |
| 15:42 |
Ember (emberell) |
Would you like to join the Caledonian Nights group? Most events are announced through there |
| 15:42 |
Kali Foxx (maxinefox2008) |
oops |
| 15:42 |
Ember (emberell) |
What's on your mind, Kali? |
| 15:42 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms3) |
the COU does, as Ember said. not to be confused with the nation of Caledon |
| 15:42 |
Kali Foxx (maxinefox2008) |
Does an elfn XD |
| 15:43 |
Kali Foxx (maxinefox2008) |
Does Elfbiter really bite elves :P |
| 15:43 |
|
Ember (emberell) nods |
| 15:43 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms3) |
i never asked |
| 15:43 |
Ember (emberell) |
Only diskworld and Thalmori elves, Kali :P |
| 15:43 |
Kali Foxx (maxinefox2008) |
heheheehheheheeh |
| 15:43 |
Katie (katie.canningham) |
I thought he's an Elf who bites |
| 15:43 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
and Aldryami |
| 15:43 |
Ember (emberell) |
Oh, yes, I always forget about those |
| 15:43 |
Kali Foxx (maxinefox2008) |
That was a joke question :P |
| 15:43 |
Katie (katie.canningham) |
ok |
| 15:44 |
Ember (emberell) |
But yes, Caledon Oxbridge and Caledon as a nation are separate entities. We do our best to support Caledonian events though! |
| 15:44 |
Ember (emberell) |
That was, mostly, a joke answer :-) |
| 15:44 |
|
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) cleans his teeth with the silver dagger of the Queen of the Discworld Elves. |
| 15:44 |
Ember (emberell) |
shhhh, Elfbiter. |
| 15:44 |
Ember (emberell) |
Jokes aside, any other questions? |
| 15:44 |
Katie (katie.canningham) |
COU and Caledon are closely linked, like two closely linked things |
| 15:45 |
Phrynne |
COU is one region of Caledon |
| 15:45 |
|
Ember (emberell) nods |
| 15:45 |
Ember (emberell) |
Hearing no other questions |
| 15:45 |
Ember (emberell) |
I'll go ahead and let you all go for the day! Thank you all for being here! AS always, I'll linger on for a while just in case any last minute questions occur. |
