Welcome to Q&A With the Deans, the weekly combination question and answer session and open staff meeting for Oxbridge, where all the deans that can make it attempt to answer your questions about Oxbridge, Caledon, and Second Life, even though they are mostly out of it from the rest of the weekend! |

Hello Jorge |

Jorge Serapis |

Carl Metropolitan Let's start with Brace and move across the stage to Wordsmith in that order. Brace, you are up! |
| 15:04 |

Phrynne hands Brace another cookie |

Brace Coral |
Thank You! |
| 15:04 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |

Brace Coral |
I actually asked Word to have me NOT go first, but I think he's getting back at me for all my Stalking Activity ;) |

Wordsmith Jarvinen |
(imagines Brace chanting "I move my mind by will alone") |
| 15:05 |
Brace Coral |
SOME of you may or may not know this but... |
| 15:06 |
Carl Metropolitan |
We can go the other direction, if you like? |
| 15:06 |
Brace Coral |
I'm ok :) |
| 15:06 |
Jorge Serapis |
(Brace is famous, everyone...) |
| 15:06 |
Brace Coral |
But thanks to Carl's brilliant suggestion I put on a monthly FUNdraiser for COU |
| 15:07 |
|
Badass Fae (larkylouz) takes out her opera glasses to watch the weekly entertainment |
| 15:07 |
Brace Coral |
it's the first Wednesday of every month, and we dance wildly to salsa music, look all handsome and pretty, and chuck lindens at a HUGE version of the Oxbridge donation coin |
| 15:07 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
A picante fund raiser. |
| 15:07 |
Now with two percent less noob (friendlynoob) |

| 15:08 |
Brace Coral |
Before I tell you what we hauled in last week, I DO want to for SURE give a shout out to Andrea |
| 15:08 |
Brace Coral |
She set up that AMAZING space and with her Caledon Nights group has been hugely supportive and so: |
| 15:08 |
Brace Coral |
Thank You! |
| 15:08 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Yes, Andrea is behind a lot of very nice stuff that happens for Oxbridge and is greatly appreciated. |
| 15:08 |
Brace Coral |
you ROCK Miss Lady!! |

Phrynne applauds |

Brace Coral |
I have been nothing but Impressed with how yall do stuff here, and I'm so happy and appreciative to be part of the COU family :D |
| 15:09 |
Brace Coral |

| 15:09 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Awwww. Welcome home. |
| 15:10 |
Carl Metropolitan |
I do want to announce that in just four days, Brace will be celebrating an amazing twelfth rezday here in Second Life! |
| 15:10 |
Phrynne |

| 15:10 |
|
Phrynne hands Brace *all the cake* |

Brace Coral |

Badass Fae (larkylouz) thanks all the COU staff for what they do to keep COU running |

I hope I level up and get my Magical Uber God Powers like they promised in the brochure |

Jorge Serapis |
Look good, Brace! Black don't crack! *blows kiss!* |
| 15:13 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And an announcement and LM give go up on the schedules just outside and inside the lecture hall before Brace's event. |
| 15:13 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Well, you do not have to kill any NPCs for that... |
| 15:13 |
|
Badass Fae (larkylouz) raises an eyebrow. "You need MORE powers?" |
| 15:13 |
Brace Coral |
wooHOO!! *highfives* Jorge! you know it ;) |
| 15:13 |
|
Carl Metropolitan looks at his friends list and realizes he has an alt that's nearly ten :) |
| 15:13 |
Brace Coral |
also, I'm prolly forgetting some other stuff |
| 15:13 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Sparklers+ |
| 15:14 |
Brace Coral |
I'm still learning all my duties, but Wordsmith did go over things like the advertising network |
| 15:14 |
|
Brace Coral points to the posters on the walls |
| 15:14 |
Brace Coral |
so I look forward to getting even MORE folks signed up for that |
| 15:14 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Brace I need to skype you about Patrons next week. Is that okay? |
| 15:15 |
Brace Coral |
Carl.. you can skype me anytime ;) |
| 15:15 |
Brace Coral |
*** Purr! Purr! Purr! *** |
| 15:15 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Okay :) |
| 15:15 |
|
Badass Fae (larkylouz) snorts tea all over her keyboard |
| 15:15 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Phyrnne, lets go over to you... |
| 15:15 |
Brace Coral |
I love Carl's voice |
| 15:15 |
Phrynne |
I just have one thing today, but it's fairly signifcant. |
| 15:15 |
Phrynne |
For all these years, we have been telling people to go to the Lecture Hall for their classes. |
| 15:16 |
Phrynne |
And many have asked, "Where is it?" |
| 15:16 |
Phrynne |
This week, thanks to the work of Ravelli Ormstein, we now have a new sign on that building down there... |
| 15:16 |
Phrynne |
*fanfare* |
| 15:16 |
Phrynne |
*drum roll* |
| 15:16 |
Phrynne |
LECTURE HALL |
| 15:17 |
Ursidae97 |
Yeah easier to find. |
| 15:17 |
Phrynne |
So, if someone asks you -- you can point at the sign, instead of saying, "Down the short walk between the bunnies and up the stairs..." |
| 15:17 |
Phrynne |
so thank you, Ravelli, for changing the sign! |
| 15:17 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |
Phrynne, maybe the sgn needs a notecard giver that says that? |
| 15:17 |
Brace Coral |
Yay! |
| 15:17 |
Phrynne |
Why would the sign on the building need a notecard giver that says what it is? |
| 15:18 |
Ursidae97 |
So why is this Lecture Hall in the sky? Just curious :) |
| 15:18 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Because this is in a full sim (Caledon Oxbridge Village) and has room for more people |
| 15:18 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Caledon Oxbridge maxes out at 20 people as it is a Homestead |
| 15:18 |
Phrynne |
Oxbridge itself can only hold 20 people at a time. |
| 15:19 |
Phrynne |
and that's on the whole region, not in the lecture hall. |
| 15:19 |
Brace Coral |
and it gives excellent base jumping opportunities after each event here ;) |
| 15:19 |
Carl Metropolitan |
So we move events that can make it hard to get into the sim up here. |
| 15:19 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |
Just being snide, Phrynne |
| 15:19 |
Ursidae97 |
Ah. |
| 15:19 |
|
Phrynne throws a donut at Badass Fae |
| 15:19 |
Now with two percent less noob (friendlynoob) |
I think a sign next to the class schedules with LM to all places classes are held would be nice. Or TPs |
| 15:19 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |
Word, there's your new class - Base jumping from the Lofty Heights. |
| 15:20 |
Phrynne |
That is the only place classes are held, generally speaking. |
| 15:20 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Lots of people jump from the sandbox as it is... |
| 15:20 |
Phrynne |
This is the exception. |
| 15:20 |
Brace Coral |
mmHMM |
| 15:20 |
Brace Coral |
can we still visit the bunnies? |
| 15:20 |
Phrynne |
of course you can! |
| 15:20 |
Brace Coral |
awesome :D |
| 15:20 |
Phrynne |
You can even sit on the bunny's teacup if you want. |
| 15:21 |
Ursidae97 |
haha |
| 15:21 |
Phrynne |
(better than sitting on the umbrella, believe me) |
| 15:21 |
Brace Coral |
Oh my! |
| 15:21 |
|
Now with two percent less noob (friendlynoob) giggles |
| 15:21 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Just don't leave it full. One can't learn with a full teacup. |
| 15:21 |
|
Brace Coral scribbles down notes |
| 15:22 |
Phrynne |
And that's all I have for today |
| 15:22 |
Carl Metropolitan |
I have nothing important to say today. |
| 15:22 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Wordsmith? |
| 15:23 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Not much again. Caught up on payroll (small professor stipends) |
| 15:23 |
Brace Coral |
aww I thought you had some juicy gossip or something Carl |
| 15:24 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Schedule moves, cancels, and one special event prim/LM giver to place over an empty part of the schedule. |
| 15:24 |
|
Brace Coral hides her notepad away |
| 15:24 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Starting to get functional again with tree and grass pollen abating. |
| 15:25 |
|
Badass Fae (larkylouz) appreciates all the behind-the-scenes work the Deans do! |
| 15:25 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I'll be away next Thurs-Sun, need someone else to catch transcripts. |
| 15:25 |
Oxbridge Donation Coin R1 (Alternate Lecture Hall) |
Carl Metropolitan gave a generous donation to help support classes and tutorials at Caledon Oxbridge Gateway. |
| 15:26 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Realized the doors at Braces salsa place make a good example for people trying to script mesh doors (helped someone; gave script; also gave LM for example) |
| 15:26 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Oh. I got my income tax refund this week, and just brought my delinquent patron payments up to date just now. One of the things I'm going to have to talk to Brace about. Gently reminding people who are behind (like me). |
| 15:27 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Can't use the prim trick of cutting off half the door priim. |
| 15:27 |
Brace Coral |
is it easy to do? In all my years in SL, I've never used the log/chat capture feature |
| 15:27 |
Brace Coral |
We'll get it sorted Carl :) |
| 15:28 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Pretty much having log on and cutting, pasting, and emailing will do. |
| 15:28 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |
Just Ctrl + A to select the entire nearby chat window, Ctrl + C to copy, and then paste it in an Email to Word. I edit it a bit. |
| 15:28 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Don't worry about editing, I can do that. |
| 15:29 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I run them through a python script for formatting. |
| 15:29 |
|
Phrynne hands the python down a nice dead mouse |
| 15:29 |
|
Badass Fae (larkylouz) hisses in appreciation |

Brace Coral |

I guess we are ready for questions now? |

Brace Coral peers at the screen |

Brace Coral |
am I seeing quadruple? |

Yup. If it's Andrea your looking at ;) |

Brace Coral |
it is lol |

Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Whole lotta cloning go'in on. |
| 15:32 |
Brace Coral |
beautiful sight :D |
| 15:32 |
Jorge Serapis |
Just a wee bit of teasing. I was going through some old books I have in RL. One is SL: THE OFFICIAL GUIDE (2006). Miss Brace is profiled in it..! |
| 15:32 |
Brace Coral |
Jorge!! |
| 15:32 |
Brace Coral |
LMAO |
| 15:33 |
Carl Metropolitan |
I have that one, too. |
| 15:33 |
Thunderstone (jeffrey0thunderstone) |
The Salsa dance, did a notice go out on the group? |
| 15:33 |
Thunderstone (jeffrey0thunderstone) |
I'm on most every day and missed it. |
| 15:33 |
Brace Coral |
yes, Thunderstone |
| 15:33 |
Jorge Serapis |
I was going through it to find some older places for new resident to explore. |
| 15:34 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Or perhaps new places for older residents to explore? |
| 15:34 |
Brace Coral |
however, I've been missing notices from several groups I'm in lately, whether I'm online or off, so that might be happening to you too |
| 15:34 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Some groups I am in hav ebeen wondering if their notices go through as well. |
| 15:34 |
Brace Coral |
I was gonna do a ticket on it, but I'm not sure what to say, or even if its a THING. or its just me |
| 15:35 |
Jorge Serapis |
The prim rig at ANWR, Señor Word? |
| 15:35 |
Thunderstone (jeffrey0thunderstone) |
Could be. I ducked out for RL one day, maybe it was WED. |
| 15:35 |
Jorge Serapis |
Or the moth Temple? |
| 15:35 |
Brace Coral |
I love that place :) |
| 15:36 |
Brace Coral |
seeing newbies flit around in the free moth avies... awesome! |
| 15:36 |
Ursidae97 |
lol |
| 15:36 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Notices cap like IMs, too |
| 15:36 |
Jorge Serapis |
I had also heard that Yadni's Junkyard is finally closed? |
| 15:36 |
Brace Coral |
yes Jorge |
| 15:37 |
Jorge Serapis |
A true loss for SL. |
| 15:37 |
Brace Coral |
NCI was able to get a lot of the freebies from Yadni |
| 15:37 |
Brace Coral |
very sad |
| 15:37 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Did he make any announcements about why it has closed? |
| 15:38 |
Now with two percent less noob (friendlynoob) |
I saw a sign and was planning on visiting one day. I guess not now. "( |
| 15:39 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
I have heard that several times... |
| 15:39 |
Carl Metropolitan |
I got copies of very early maps of Second Life from his place. |
| 15:40 |
Brace Coral |
I found this: https://danielvoyager.wordpress.com/2015/06/27/yadni-s-junkyard-has-closed-down-after-11-years-in-second-life/ |
| 15:40 |
|
Now with two percent less noob (friendlynoob) groans. Thinks "why didn't I go last week?" |
| 15:41 |
Jorge Serapis |
Well, I believe the Freebie Dungeon and Freebie Galaxy are still open. |
| 15:41 |
Thunderstone (jeffrey0thunderstone) |
But not Freebie Island. |
| 15:41 |
Thunderstone (jeffrey0thunderstone) |
Been gone for more than a month. |
| 15:42 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |
Yadni's was clearly unique, but many of the freebies are available other places in SL. |
| 15:42 |
Now with two percent less noob (friendlynoob) |
Have not been to dungeon yet, galaxy has many pervs. I change to make avatar to go. |
| 15:42 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
They are, Just checked |
| 15:43 |
Brace Coral |
hmmm a Freebie Hunting class? |
| 15:44 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
I think it is part of smart shopping class |
| 15:44 |
Thunderstone (jeffrey0thunderstone) |
We have one. Smart Shopper. |
| 15:44 |
Brace Coral |
good! |
| 15:44 |
Jorge Serapis |
Very true, Miss Larky... but in a world where businesses open and close on an almost daily basis, that Yadni's has been in service for close to 12 years is nothing short of astounding. |
| 15:44 |
Edmund Broek |
A fundraiser: Visit to freebie places then give COU the money you saved. |
| 15:44 |
Thunderstone (jeffrey0thunderstone) |
Held earlier today. |
| 15:44 |
Brace Coral |
freebies are an important part of SL |
| 15:45 |
|
Brace Coral grins at Edmund :D |
| 15:45 |
Brace Coral |
I catch people downing freebies, and I always set them straight |
| 15:45 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |
Oh, I agree, Jorge. And he did have an amazing collection. No doubt about it. |
| 15:45 |
Carl Metropolitan |
One of the problems with freebies now is that most clothing has gone to mesh, and that licenses that full perm mesh clothing items are released under usually does not allow them to be used as freebies. So a lot of freebies tend to look dated. |
| 15:46 |
Thunderstone (jeffrey0thunderstone) |
That, and mesh bodies can't wear them |
| 15:46 |
Brace Coral |
dated is one thing, I keep seeing "anything free in SL is trash" concept being batted around. it's not that case at all |
| 15:46 |
Zantyago Mannonen |
another reason to dislike full mesh avvies, inflexible |
| 15:46 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Lots of mesh clothing are still for standard body shapes... |
| 15:46 |
Ursidae97 |
Still its nice to have things for people without money haha |
| 15:47 |
Brace Coral |
yes Urs :) |
| 15:47 |
Phrynne |
It is possible to have a good Second Life without money. |
| 15:47 |
Phrynne |
but it takes a little effort |
| 15:47 |
Now with two percent less noob (friendlynoob) |
Agreed! |
| 15:47 |
Dusty (dustybunns) |
Possible to have a good second life without things. |
| 15:47 |
Zantyago Mannonen |
and if you're smart and resourceful you can get youre own L inworld |
| 15:47 |
Now with two percent less noob (friendlynoob) |
I have so much nice free things. |
| 15:47 |
Brace Coral |
I set up my home using nearly all free stuff initially. It's very possible :) |
| 15:47 |
Thunderstone (jeffrey0thunderstone) |
I've seen that too. Had to set more than one person straight on freebies being crap. |
| 15:48 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |
I agree, Brace. I still have many non-mesh outfits that I love. And many stores still sell or give away prim clothing. I didn't buy much at all my first couple of years here. |
| 15:48 |
Phrynne |
Often as not, the freebies that are available from shops during someone's first 30 days in world are very good quality. |
| 15:48 |
Phrynne |
They *want* you to come back. |
| 15:48 |
|
Brace Coral nods |
| 15:48 |
Now with two percent less noob (friendlynoob) |
A friend gave me a house she made. Now, where is the free land? LOL |
| 15:48 |
Brace Coral |
lol |
| 15:48 |
Jorge Serapis |
I think it would help to think of freebies as promotional items instead. |
| 15:48 |
Phrynne |
And if you join groups for shops? Many give out free things monthly. |
| 15:48 |
Ursidae97 |
true enough. |
| 15:48 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Hunt items are also form of marketing. If they would be crap, it would be good PR. |
| 15:49 |
Thunderstone (jeffrey0thunderstone) |
Hucksters hang around the new arrival areas to put people off of the help centers and free stores. |
| 15:49 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
*woul dnot be |
| 15:49 |
Phrynne |
Hunt items are generally very good quality |
| 15:50 |
Now with two percent less noob (friendlynoob) |
Thunderstone, Really?!??!? |
| 15:50 |
Ursidae97 |
So what does hunting mean exactly? |
| 15:50 |
Carl Metropolitan |
"Hunts" are events put together where each store in a list hides a specific small item somewhere in the store that contains a free or inexpensive prize |
| 15:51 |
Now with two percent less noob (friendlynoob) |
I must do what I can when I can to stop that. |
| 15:51 |
Thunderstone (jeffrey0thunderstone) |
Yes. Had more than one noob I've helped off campus say so. Most where being "helped" privetly. |
| 15:51 |
Now with two percent less noob (friendlynoob) |
The hucksters, not the hunts. |

Dusty (dustybunns) is steamed about something. |
| 15:53 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
These are the steamlands. |

Does my avatar usually sit on chairs backwards btw? |
| 15:53 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
You are tiny now. |
| 15:54 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
These benches are scripted for human-sized avatars |
| 15:54 |
Dusty (dustybunns) |
So don't look back |
| 15:54 |
Ursidae97 |
Didn't know that effect would happen lol |
| 15:54 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Even so, the benches can be a bit fussy about where you click. |
| 15:54 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
well with a locker she should be good |
| 15:55 |
Ursidae97 |
Huh, I don't think thats it lol |
| 15:55 |
Brace Coral |
try standing in front of the bench you want to sit on |
| 15:55 |
Dusty (dustybunns) |
Try sitting on the front edge |
| 15:55 |
Brace Coral |
whisper a latin incantation |
| 15:55 |
Brace Coral |
then try to sit |

Phrynne |

| 15:57 |
Brace Coral |

| 15:57 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Any last questions? |
| 15:57 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Anouncement, |
| 15:57 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
nods. |
| 15:58 |
Jorge Serapis |
I must say, after putting in the deans' ears a bug about possible multi language kiosks... |
| 15:58 |
Now with two percent less noob (friendlynoob) |
What can we do about the people taking advantage of us noobs? |
| 15:58 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
despite a short delay. the wonderland dance will be this tues night at 6 |
| 15:58 |
Brace Coral |
ooooo! |
| 15:58 |
Jorge Serapis |
.. I am pleasantly surprised at the speed which it's being implemented. |
| 15:58 |
Jorge Serapis |
*points to demos in the back* |
| 15:59 |
Jorge Serapis |
I'm currently awaiting Dean Lindal to supply me with the psp files so I can start producing the foriegn language textures. |
| 15:59 |
Brace Coral |
Friendly, if you're having issues w/pervs and such, please to always let a COU staff member know |
| 15:59 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Jorge, some of the files are originals with me. Contact me via email for any you are missing please. |
| 16:00 |
Now with two percent less noob (friendlynoob) |
I just wish I could find an interpeter for free that works. |
| 16:00 |
Thunderstone (jeffrey0thunderstone) |
We can't do much of anything about people taking advantage of noobs. The arrival areas are open to anyone. They are already a free-for-all. |
| 16:00 |
Jorge Serapis |
Thank you. Do you have the most up to date ones? |
| 16:00 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Oh and the wonderland dance has a notice in the isc group or youcan im me direectly |
| 16:00 |
Carl Metropolitan |
What we do for people who are being taken advantage of because they are new to SL is Oxbridge :) |
| 16:00 |
Jorge Serapis |
Miss Friendly, if you haven't taken it by now, I highly recommend the avatar safety course. |
| 16:00 |
Carl Metropolitan |
We also have a class in Avatar Safety |
| 16:00 |
|
Brace Coral nod nods! |
| 16:01 |
Carl Metropolitan |
And a second on scams in the Money and Commerce hall |
| 16:01 |
Jorge Serapis |
You develop a spider sense in time, but for now, Dean Lindal's course is the second best thing. |
| 16:01 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And, we can control abuse at Oxbridge itself, if we are alerted to it (we can't monitor IMs). |
| 16:02 |
Thunderstone (jeffrey0thunderstone) |
We have to get them here first. We do show up up in New User Friendly section of the Destnations tab and a sign at the Hubs. |
| 16:02 |
Ursidae97 |
So u guys moniter all the public chats then? |
| 16:02 |
Jorge Serapis |
Also, whilst I have been asked about it infrequently, a course on animation overriders would not be amiss. |
| 16:03 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
If we have staff at the quad or entry point, we can monitor local chat. We can also monitor COUG (scholars' group) chat. |
| 16:03 |
Phrynne |
We don't 'monitor' public chat. |
| 16:03 |
Phrynne |
only what is near us |
| 16:03 |
Brace Coral |
like how to use AOs? |
| 16:03 |
Ursidae97 |
Ah thats fair. ^_^ |
| 16:03 |
Jorge Serapis |
Yes. how to use them, how to fill out the notecards, adding anims, that sort of thing. |
| 16:03 |
Carl Metropolitan |
We can't, Ursidae97 |
| 16:03 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Only chats that take place near one of us |
| 16:04 |
Jorge Serapis |
I know most viewers have them now built in as well. |
| 16:04 |
Thunderstone (jeffrey0thunderstone) |
In Firestorm you can biuld your own AO. I don't know how though. |
| 16:04 |
Jorge Serapis |
Zactly, M. Thunderstone. |
| 16:04 |
Brace Coral |
yes, I use the built in one, I went thru the process of how to do it |
| 16:04 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And look for bumping (w/o consent), soliciting, weapons, nudity, .... |
| 16:04 |
Brace Coral |
I MIGHT be abel to teach it.. I'll study on it |
| 16:05 |
Now with two percent less noob (friendlynoob) |
Sorry I took so long to answer, I think I took Avatar Safety. |
| 16:05 |
Jorge Serapis |
I personally find it easier to use a gadget AO and lump everything into it. Moves, dances, etc. |
| 16:05 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Scripting now includes setting default animations. |
| 16:05 |
Brace Coral |
at least the new-Newbie avatars come with AOs |
| 16:06 |
Brace Coral |
only took nearly a year for the complete upgrade on those, but ...ok nm *sits on hands* |
| 16:06 |
andreajonesms |
...Squeaky Alien Invader... |
| 16:06 |
Jorge Serapis |
.. and one last thing on my part. |
| 16:06 |
Jorge Serapis |
I was wondering the pros and cons of labelling the classes as to the level of difficulty. |
| 16:07 |
Now with two percent less noob (friendlynoob) |
oops |
| 16:07 |
Now with two percent less noob (friendlynoob) |
Great idea! |
| 16:07 |
Jorge Serapis |
Some classes are great for beginners to follow, and some may need a bit more experience. |
| 16:07 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Some do list prerequisites. |
| 16:07 |
Carl Metropolitan |
(At this point, I'd like to point out we are over our time limits, so feel free to leave :) |
| 16:08 |
Carl Metropolitan |
But I'm happy to stay and answer questions. |
| 16:09 |
Now with two percent less noob (friendlynoob) |
Thank you everyone so much for everything. :D |
| 16:09 |
Jorge Serapis |
Quite so, Senor Word. From my own experience, I've had a few say they found a particular class beyond their ken atm...and I tend to reassure them that it's just a matter of expereince is all. |
| 16:09 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |
Thank you everyone. And Jorge, thank you so much for taking on the orientation. |
| 16:09 |
Jorge Serapis |
Just an idea tossed out to be debated, is all. :_) |
| 16:09 |
Brace Coral |

| 16:10 |
Now with two percent less noob (friendlynoob) |
I appear to be having trouble simply sitting. hehe |
| 16:10 |
Ursidae97 |

Brace Coral |

Brace Coral |

Badass Fae (larkylouz) |
Take care all. Thank you. |
| 16:11 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Okay. Then let's adjourn for the evening. |
