Caledon Oxbridge Q&A for 2017-10-01
14:46 | Phrynne | When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro. |
14:46 | Gronk Seriman | Good evening, Phrynne! |
14:47 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Those who can adapt, do, and thus survive. |
14:48 | Phrynne | I'm adapting as fast as I can, Word. |
14:48 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Now, about this idea of migrating from the oceans onto land ..... I'm still not sure. It seems a big step. |
14:49 | Phrynne | It could be quite an adventure |
14:50 | Gronk Seriman | Is that why some people still drink like a fish? |
14:50 | Phrynne | Could be, Gronk |
14:51 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Welcome, Sauce. |
14:51 | Sauce Sorrowman | ahoy |
14:51 | Sauce Sorrowman | ...maybe you should cross your legs Word... |
14:51 | Phrynne waves to Sauce | |
14:53 | lovejoy2199 | Hello everyone |
14:53 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Welcome back, lovejoy. |
14:54 | lovejoy2199 | Thank you, Chancellor |
14:54 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Hi Teddy. |
14:55 | - ̗̀ Teddy Bear ̖́- (atlasshrugged3) | Hello Chancellor Wordsmith |
14:55 | - ̗̀ Teddy Bear ̖́- (atlasshrugged3) | I do have a request today |
14:55 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | kk |
15:00 | Kara2016 | Greetings everyone. |
15:00 | Oxbridge Donation Coin R1 (Alternate Lecture Hall) | Kara2016 gave a generous donation to help support classes and tutorials at Caledon Oxbridge Gateway. |
15:01 | Sauce Sorrowman waves to Kara | |
15:01 | Sauce Sorrowman | (not the hand with the dangerous red button) |
15:02 | Kara2016 | laughing. |
15:02 | Kara2016 | it was fun. |
15:02 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Andrea is online, so I expect she will ... join me now. |
15:03 | Kara2016 | Hugs Star. |
15:03 | star (astarynite) smiles and hugs Kara | |
15:03 | Kara2016 | right on cue. |
15:03 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Welcome to the weekly Oxbridge Deans' Q&A. This is an open meeting. All are welcome (unless they misbehave badly). |
15:04 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Transcripts will be posted later. |
15:04 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Phrynne, anything for today? |
15:04 | Phrynne | Oh yes! |
15:05 | Phrynne | Today is the start of Halloween season at Caledon Oxbridge -- and you may or may not have noticed that a version of the Great Pumpkin is on campus. |
15:05 | lovejoy2199 | *SMILE* |
15:05 | Phrynne | This is an incredible build -- not my work, all I did was texture it -- and it is entirely built of prims. |
15:06 | Phrynne | If you build you may want to look at it closely -- there are ways of twisting prims on that build that I've never seen before. |
15:06 | Phrynne | Feel free to walk up the steps into it and take a seat on the cushions I added. |
15:06 | Phrynne | I expect to be adding a few more pumpkins and other things over the course of the month. |
15:06 | star (astarynite) smiles | |
15:07 | Phrynne | And the reason for all the pumpkins and harvesty-type things is this: General regions, such as Oxbridge, are not allowed to have 'horror imagery |
15:07 | Phrynne | ' as part of what we provide. |
15:08 | Phrynne | So, we provide pumpkins and harvest and only the slightest bit of scary. |
15:08 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | (Ahh. So that's what I landed on last night, tucking his legs back a bit where the orange slush on them isn't as obvious) |
15:08 | Phrynne | but we are still celebrating the season. |
15:08 | lovejoy2199 | So, no 'headless horseman'? |
15:08 | Phrynne | Possibly, if it's not a gory 'headless horseman'. No blood. No gore. No fright stuff. |
15:08 | Menta Black (mentadent) | Sorry - you are saying G-areas cannot show coffins? |
15:09 | Phrynne | We have a cemetery or two now also. |
15:09 | Phrynne | And we might end up with an open coffin somewhere. But not an open coffin that is messy with gore. And no vampire roleplay |
15:09 | Menta Black (mentadent) | OMG - don't you think that political correctness is just going toooo far?? |
15:09 | Phrynne | If you don't like the requirements of a General rating, please feel free to complain to Linden Labs. |
15:10 | star (astarynite) | no gore Menta |
15:10 | Phrynne | I didn't invent the restriction. |
15:10 | star (astarynite) | not no coffins |
15:10 | Menta Black (mentadent) | it's REALLY from Lindens? |
15:10 | Phrynne | Yes, it is. |
15:10 | Menta Black (mentadent) | thanks - at least I know where to complain now |
15:10 | Phrynne | Which makes it ridiculous that there are so many newbie outfits that are ghouls and so on -- they're not reading their own requirements. |
15:10 | Gronk Seriman | Somebody has an open mic. |
15:11 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Has been IMed to turn it off. |
15:12 | Phrynne | I am grateful to Star, who has helped me to find good decorations. |
15:12 | star (astarynite) sends Phrynne a link | |
15:12 | star (astarynite) | well heck |
15:12 | Phrynne | And I will be putting up more things and juggling prims as the month goes on. |
15:13 | star (astarynite) | everyone can know |
15:13 | star (astarynite) | HPMD has a 25 pumpkin hunt, and there are 2 pumpkins in each folder, so 50 pumpkins |
15:13 | star (astarynite) grins | |
15:13 | Sauce Sorrowman | does Oxbridge have more prims now? thought we were limited by homestead status but it seems like there are more things around now. |
15:13 | Menta Black (mentadent) | What's HPMD? |
15:13 | Phrynne | As for General regions -- I don't know if you're aware that we get students as young as 9 years old sometimes. We do want to make them feel safe. |
15:13 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | (The huntress incarnate) |
15:13 | star (astarynite) | A landscaping place |
15:14 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Anything else, Phrynne? |
15:15 | Phrynne | That's it, for now. |
15:15 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Andrea? |
15:15 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | HI all |
15:15 | Agatha Macbeth waves | |
15:16 | charliegamer008 | hello |
15:16 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | The build for the Halloween fundraiser is under way i the Village. It is the huge cemetery build where Blackopal was. |
15:16 | Sauce Sorrowman | and a spooky build it is too. |
15:16 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | The date is for Saturday the 14th |
15:17 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | right now the dance is set for 7 to 9 |
15:17 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | I'm going to see if the DJ will come in at 1 and do a afternoon dance for our ero residents |
15:17 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | I should have that settled tonight. |
15:18 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | That would be nice. |
15:18 | Menta Black (mentadent) | sorry - what are ero residents? |
15:18 | Sauce Sorrowman | European people |
15:18 | Menta Black (mentadent) | hehehe - Euro residents? |
15:18 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Yes. |
15:18 | Menta Black (mentadent) | TY |
15:19 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | There are currently 2 haunted houses in the village that you can explore. the one with the large iron fencing is for Tuesday night and not all the effects will be active in it till Tuesday night. |
15:19 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | (Some may worship Eros as well, but that's a separate matter.) |
15:20 | Menta Black (mentadent) | LMAO - THAT 's a good one !!!! |
15:20 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | Other than the fundraiser build. not much else going on. It i still in the early stages of construction BTW. |
15:20 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | Looks back at Wordsmith |
15:21 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Not a lot on my plate that's visible. Current financials to Andrea and Rainy, a script mod for Andrea, |
15:23 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Good time to open for general questions, as well as anything Agatha, Gronk, or Teddy wish to bring up. |
15:23 | Agatha Macbeth | Aye sir... |
15:23 | Agatha Macbeth | October is the last (official) month for getting in yer wee gifties |
15:24 | Agatha Macbeth | November 1 is the closing date |
15:24 | Agatha Macbeth | Tho I probably won't turn down anything if it comes in November :p |
15:24 | Sauce Sorrowman | closing date for what? |
15:24 | Agatha Macbeth | I'm pretty flexible |
15:24 | Phrynne | Advent Calendar, Sauce |
15:24 | Agatha Macbeth | For the Advent calendar Sauce |
15:24 | Sauce Sorrowman | ah, cool. |
15:25 | Sauce Sorrowman | are there guidelines for that? |
15:25 | Agatha Macbeth | It is! |
15:25 | Agatha Macbeth | Guidelines as in...? |
15:25 | Agatha Macbeth | What to donate? |
15:25 | Sauce Sorrowman | yep |
15:26 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Well, since we lay out the boxes in Oxbridge, under General rated sim rules. |
15:26 | Agatha Macbeth | Hang on, I'll throw a notecard your way :) |
15:26 | Kara2016 | <..ducks.. |
15:26 | Gronk Seriman | No fruitcake! We know you are just regifting it. |
15:26 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | (glad we are past the age of stone notecards) |
15:26 | Agatha Macbeth | Quack |
15:26 | Kara2016 | giggles. |
15:26 | Sauce Sorrowman | as Kara will attest, you don't want to get into a throwing match with me... |
15:26 | Kara2016 | laughing. |
15:27 | star (astarynite) | lol |
15:27 | star (astarynite) | I heard |
15:27 | Agatha Macbeth | Snowballs? |
15:27 | Kara2016 | anvils. |
15:27 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | (keeps an eye on Kara and tries not to blink) |
15:27 | Agatha Macbeth | 0.0 |
15:27 | Sauce Sorrowman | anvils :) |
15:27 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | Oh, Just a quick mention on the fundraiser. It is a Halloween themed event. But,please, A little decorum, no major blood and guts or particle effects. |
15:28 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | And there will be donation pins for this event |

15:37 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | I haven't checked the calender. shouldn't be a problem |
15:37 | star (astarynite) | http://www.aetherchrononauts.org/ |
15:38 | - ̗̀ Teddy Bear ̖́- (atlasshrugged3) | The class is currently on the calender, maybe just add a something about the haunted house tour |

15:40 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | I can take care of that. |
15:40 | - ̗̀ Teddy Bear ̖́- (atlasshrugged3) | I will make a Transport Notification Board |
15:41 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Wait. This room is COUG (scholar's group land) |
15:41 | Kara2016 | Greetings Zady |
15:41 | Zady (zadoma) | hello :) |
15:41 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | I'll look, but I don't think it requires special rez rights, just make sure things are set to COUG group or they get returned. |
15:42 | - ̗̀ Teddy Bear ̖́- (atlasshrugged3) | 4) Can the class rooms contain Halloween Decorations for this Event? |
15:42 | - ̗̀ Teddy Bear ̖́- (atlasshrugged3) | I am assuming Star will decorate the class rooms |
15:42 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Yes. This is a moderate sim so limitations are more relaxed. |
15:43 | star (astarynite) | sure can |
15:43 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Is Star assuming that she will decorate the classrooms? |
15:43 | star (astarynite) | I can do that |

15:43 | - ̗̀ Teddy Bear ̖́- (atlasshrugged3) | Thank you =) |

15:43 | star (astarynite) | as long as the prims are available |
15:43 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | 258 |
15:43 | Phrynne | That shouldn't be a problem |
15:44 | star (astarynite) | I have a lot of low prim things |
15:44 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | COUG group up here. (scholar's group). COU group downstairs (faculty group) |
15:44 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | nods |
15:45 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Up here, if you get over to the entrance wall, it may be commonwealth land. |
15:45 | Zady (zadoma) | wth? |
15:45 | - ̗̀ Teddy Bear ̖́- (atlasshrugged3) | so I just switch tags |
15:46 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Up here, for the stage and most of the lecture hall, it scholars group and you just switch tags. |
15:46 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Different parcels of land are owned by different groups, Zady. |
15:47 | Gronk Seriman | Ooo! Lovely sign! |
15:47 | Zady (zadoma) | ok :) |
15:47 | - ̗̀ Teddy Bear ̖́- (atlasshrugged3) | I am finished |
15:47 | star (astarynite) | great sign |
15:47 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Things rezzed not in accord with the parcel's group generally get auto-returned in 10 minutes. |
15:47 | Menta Black (mentadent) | You may want to add that it's G-rated, and will not go to coffins, cemeteries, and hospitals |
15:48 | Menta Black (mentadent) | LOL |
15:48 | Phrynne | Menta, the restriction only holds on Oxbridge itself, not on classes going elsewhere. |
15:48 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | If it starts here, it wouldn't necessarily have to be. |
15:48 | Zady (zadoma) | Will anything be done about reducing lag at the event? |
15:49 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | And since most of Caledon is not G-rated, it would be a substantial restriction. |
15:49 | Menta Black (mentadent) | Phrynne - I was joking - sorry |
15:49 | - ̗̀ Teddy Bear ̖́- (atlasshrugged3) | I will talk about dealing with the lag that is so common at large events, during the class on the 25th |
15:50 | Zady (zadoma) | oki :) |
15:50 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Teddy, could you give me a notecard with a statement the week before? |
15:51 | - ̗̀ Teddy Bear ̖́- (atlasshrugged3) | No problem Professor |
15:51 | - ̗̀ Teddy Bear ̖́- (atlasshrugged3) | I also need to update you on next Semesters class schedule |
15:52 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | I'll have to remember to update the week's schedule that Sunday while on travel to Seattle (leave on the 21st, back the night of the 25th). |
15:52 | - ̗̀ Teddy Bear ̖́- (atlasshrugged3) | ok - note made |
15:53 | Zady (zadoma) | safe journey, Chancellor |
15:53 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Thanks. I'll have an SL capable laptop with me, just more on my mind. |
15:54 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Any other questions or topics? |
15:54 | Zady (zadoma) | any restrictions on attire? |
15:54 | Zady (zadoma) | fer the event? |
15:54 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | which one? |
15:56 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | The fundraiser is here in the village, But I do ask that outfits not be very gory |
15:56 | Zady (zadoma) | that's what I meant |
15:56 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | IE blood spurting, guts hanging out etc |
15:56 | Zady (zadoma) | thank you :) |
15:56 | charliegamer008 | lol |
15:57 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | For the fundraiser, what Andrea said about decorum. Which implies keeping yourself together and not scattering body parts around. |
15:57 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | I think the class would be similar. |
15:57 | Zady (zadoma) | Not scattering body parts around, just the gory detailed attire, was what I was asking about. |
15:57 | Gronk Seriman | Gah. That rules out my leprosy costume. |
15:58 | star (astarynite) whispers | lol Gronk! |
15:58 | Zady (zadoma) | I found a kewl one with intestines hanging out. |
15:58 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | I anticipated, Gronk. |
15:58 | Zady (zadoma) | but scratch that. |
15:59 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | It would be appreciated |
15:59 | Zady (zadoma) | duly noted :) |
15:59 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | It's still a class. In theme is okay, just not extreme. |
15:59 | Zady (zadoma) | got it :) |
15:59 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | i.e. you are going to see the haunted houses, but are not the exhibit yourself. |
16:00 | Sauce Sorrowman | plus dribbly intestines will probably increase your rendering cost and lag |
16:00 | Phrynne is not cleaning that up. | |
16:00 | Zady (zadoma) | ah ok, Sauce, didn't think about that, thank you :) |
16:00 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Anything else? |
16:01 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | I'll send out a notice tomorrow or tonight on the Fundraiser. Any help advertising ti would be appreciated |
16:01 | Zady (zadoma) | volunteering allowed? |
16:01 | Zady (zadoma) | I'd like to volunteer to help any way I can. |
16:02 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | I currently do not have a lot final details on the fundraiser. I'm running behind. |
16:02 | Zady (zadoma) | oki :) |
16:02 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | What would you like to do? |
16:02 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Andrea would be the contact on that. |
16:02 | Zady (zadoma) | whatever that needs to be done, I'll help. |
16:03 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | ok |
16:03 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Nothing else arising, we are adjourned. |
16:03 | Gronk Seriman | Thank you, Deans! |
16:04 | Zady (zadoma) | Thank you fer another awesome Q&A session :) |
16:04 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | night all |
16:05 | Kara2016 | Yike! |
16:05 | Zady (zadoma) | be well, everyone :) |
16:05 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | We try to make these both informative and fun. |
16:05 | Kara2016 | laughing. |
16:05 | Sauce Sorrowman whistles innocently | |
16:05 | Sauce Sorrowman | cheerio all |
16:05 | Zady (zadoma) | :) |
16:05 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Night, Andrea. |
16:05 | Kara2016 | <..that dirty rat..laughing. |
16:05 | lovejoy2199 | This ok, Chancellor? |
16:06 | Zady (zadoma) | I try my best to make it on time...fergive my tardiness. |
16:06 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Looks fine to me, lovejoy. |
16:06 | Kara2016 | Going too the strip club again, loveJoy? |
16:06 | lovejoy2199 | How about this? |
16:06 | Zady (zadoma) waves and poofs | |
16:06 | Kara2016 | giggles. |
16:06 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | The skeleton isn't particularly gory. |
16:07 | Gronk Seriman | No bones to pick. |
16:07 | lovejoy2199 | *smile* |
16:07 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Kara might be scarier. -- weeping angels. |
16:07 | lovejoy2199 | Part of the crew... |
16:07 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Yes, and until you put that gold back .... |
