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 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

15:32 Wordsmith Jarvinen My only request is that, if you leave the lecture hall before 7:15p, you take roll.
15:32 lovejoy2199 Sounds interesting
15:32 - ̗̀ Teddy Bear ̖́- (atlasshrugged3) Is there any haunted areas in Caledon that you want included in the Tour?
15:33 Sauce Sorrowman reminisces about the old zombies under SSC...
15:33 Phrynne Is there still a crypt in Brigadoon?
15:33 Wordsmith Jarvinen I can recall one area of a grave nature that's on the Oxbridge Quest, but don't know if that's been decorated.
15:34 - ̗̀ Teddy Bear ̖́- (atlasshrugged3) if you find someplace you wish I include on this tour please let me know
15:34 Wordsmith Jarvinen Andrea and Star will both have builds up.

15:36 - ̗̀ Teddy Bear ̖́- (atlasshrugged3) 1) Does this date & time conflict with any other Caledon Halloween Events?
15:36 - ̗̀ Teddy Bear ̖́- (atlasshrugged3) I gather from earlier it does not since its the same class time as normal
15:36 Wordsmith Jarvinen Phrynne, Andrea, Star anything you're aware of?
15:37 Phrynne Not that I know of.
15:37 - ̗̀ Teddy Bear ̖́- (atlasshrugged3) 2) Is it possible to add this event added to Caledon Event Calendar
15:37 star (astarynite) I am looking at the Aether page
15:37 star (astarynite) there are a few things but nothing that are major
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
15:38 Wordsmith Jarvinen Yes, That I can do.
15:38 - ̗̀ Teddy Bear ̖́- (atlasshrugged3) 3) Class attendance may be larger than normal. May I have access to the Alternate Classroom?
15:39 - ̗̀ Teddy Bear ̖́- (atlasshrugged3) Although I just noticed I do not have rezz rights in this class room
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 lovejoy2199 Just don't rezz 'pumpkins' here.
15:43 - ̗̀ Teddy Bear ̖́- (atlasshrugged3) Thank You !
15:43 - ̗̀ Teddy Bear ̖́- (atlasshrugged3) Thank you =)
15:43 - ̗̀ Teddy Bear ̖́- (atlasshrugged3) 5) This event will be advertised on several Social Media Outlets
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 ....
