I'm very well |

RainyDayRecess |
Nice, right? |

Oxbridge Donation Coin R1 (Alternate Lecture Hall) |

Good, we have a dean-set. |

Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Transcripts are posted at some point after the meeting. http://www.caledonoxbridge.org/qna/qna_index.php |
| 15:06 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Phrynne, got anything for this week? |
| 15:07 |
Phrynne |
I was hijacked by RL much of the week, but when I was here I was helping newcomers and answering questions here and on the sandbox. |
| 15:07 |
Phrynne |
So, nothing special, just the usual. |
| 15:07 |
Phrynne |
that's all for me |
| 15:08 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
kk And if you like the seasonal landscaping at Oxbridge, you have Phrynne to thank for it. |
| 15:08 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Andrea? |
| 15:08 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Grand Pumpkin has created some praise... |
| 15:09 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Any word on the headstones? |
| 15:09 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
I have been off line all day, So no. |
| 15:09 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
I haven't checked on them |
| 15:10 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |

Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
The freebie box is still there is you missed picking up your pin or freebies |
| 15:11 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |

| 15:11 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
flexes fingers |
| 15:11 |
Phrynne |
The haunted house ride is very cool. |
| 15:12 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
might add one or two more |
| 15:12 |
RainyDayRecess |
;) |
| 15:12 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) whispers |
Star, how long will you be leaving your build up? |
| 15:12 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Star, how long will you be leaving your build up? |
| 15:13 |
star (astarynite) |
most likely until Halloween |
| 15:13 |
Gronk Seriman |
I really liked the Haunted House. And Star's build was quite spectacular, too. |
| 15:13 |
star (astarynite) |
thanks Gronk |
| 15:13 |
Kara2016 |
Smiles brightly for star and Andrea. |
| 15:13 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And has it's own auction and (of course) a donation coin. |
| 15:14 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And starts out in a very grave manner. |
| 15:14 |
RainyDayRecess |
:D |

| 15:15 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
I had a whole folder of no copy items, But did not have time to photograph them or box them,. Those and anything left from this auction will be in one coming up later on next month |
| 15:15 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
an auction next month |
| 15:15 |

Andrea, can you list the three DJs from yesterday? |
| 15:16 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
on sec I can |
| 15:17 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
(being left-handed, Wordsmudge wouldn't be that inaccurate) |
| 15:17 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
DJ Sugar Sprinkles, DJ Kate Aeon., DJ Cynthia Farshore |
| 15:17 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
There are 2 haunted houses in the village that will be up til the end of October |
| 15:18 |
Gronk Seriman |
Do we know how much the coins collected yesterday? |
| 15:18 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
18,597 $L |
| 15:18 |
RainyDayRecess |
WoW! |
| 15:19 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Thanks you. I wanted to acknowledge our music artists AND Andrea and Star for their efforts in making the fundraiser happen. |
| 15:19 |
Gronk Seriman |
Woohoo! |
| 15:19 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
and Desmond showed , didn't get his pic |
| 15:19 |
RainyDayRecess |
Yay!! Thank you Andrea! |
| 15:19 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
It goes back to those that came and donated |
| 15:19 |
RainyDayRecess |
Thank you Star!! |
| 15:19 |
|
star (astarynite) smiles softly |
| 15:19 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Yes ty to start for helping |
| 15:19 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
star |
| 15:20 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Which more than makes up any deficit from last quarter, with the majority of the quarter remaining before next tier is due. |
| 15:20 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Star's a starter. |
| 15:20 |
star (astarynite) |
lol |
| 15:20 |
RainyDayRecess |
Great job ;) |
| 15:20 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Great twinkling :-) |
| 15:20 |
|
star (astarynite) sparkles |
| 15:21 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
With the fundraiser taking so much time. I have been remiss in the patron programs. those will get back ontrack this week |
| 15:22 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Andrea and Star carried the building load and I mostly moved into support for the week. Scripts looked at (modified also), large coins lugged to several places, plus normal schedule and transcript stuff. |
| 15:23 |
RainyDayRecess |
Thank you Word ;) |
| 15:23 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I also used my ability to lose direction to suggest a few places where arrows would be useful |
| 15:24 |
Kara2016 |
it was very useful. |
| 15:25 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
As a precautionary measure with Halloween approaching, I also put up some headstones down below in front of the ad panels to discourage vampire role-playing. |
| 15:26 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
A bit of a softer approach than the picture Carl used to discourage such activity. |
| 15:26 |
RainyDayRecess |
I know, right?! |
| 15:26 |
Rowan Entilles (rowan900) |
hahhhaa |
| 15:26 |
Kara2016 |
?? |
| 15:26 |
Phrynne |
it was a bit unsubtle but effective |
| 15:26 |
Russell A. Firecrest (adventureruss) |
I kind of like the idea of all the tutors being ready with stakes. |
| 15:27 |
RainyDayRecess |
It was a very gross image |
| 15:27 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Casket, stake, blood. |
| 15:27 |
star (astarynite) |
lol |
| 15:27 |
|
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) adds wooden stake to his ejection boot |
| 15:27 |
RainyDayRecess |
:D |
| 15:27 |
Rowan Entilles (rowan900) |
are there a lot of vampire incidents? |
| 15:28 |
RainyDayRecess |
Enough,..I had one try to bite me ;( |
| 15:28 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Not in my watch recently. |
| 15:28 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
They are likely the most incidents that have any pattern. |
| 15:28 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
But I have blocked all the bite items. |
| 15:28 |
RainyDayRecess |
nice |
| 15:29 |
Phrynne |
They don't happen that often -- but this is the season for it, and I have seen more of the old mesh vampire newbie outfits when I've been here lately. |
| 15:29 |
Rowan Entilles (rowan900) |
I'm sure glad they issue those |
| 15:29 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
We get more of the dumb and dumber sort, but since Halloween fits the theme .... |
| 15:29 |
RainyDayRecess |
So it's okay to dress like one? |
| 15:30 |
Phrynne |
Yes, but don't go to extremes, like bloody clothing or obvious teeth |
| 15:30 |
RainyDayRecess |
I see |
| 15:30 |
Evil Sociopath Beware (cymbal.constantine) |
I have teeth but I keep my mouth closed |
| 15:30 |
Phrynne |
Because Oxbridge is General, 'horror imagery' is not allowed. |
| 15:30 |
RainyDayRecess |
Hahaha |
| 15:30 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Yes. The headstones pretty much lay it out. It's not what one looks like, but what the displays are and what the actions are. |
| 15:30 |
RainyDayRecess |
Okay |
| 15:30 |
Russell A. Firecrest (adventureruss) |
Be friendly to the newbs. |
| 15:31 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
But you can't recruit. :P |
| 15:31 |
Phrynne |
We have some older vampires coming through to walk with a newbie in their group -- which is fine |
| 15:31 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
And don't confuse the newcomers...... |
| 15:31 |
Phrynne |
Definitely don't confuse the newcomers. |
| 15:31 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Although some come in pre-confused. |
| 15:31 |
Phrynne |
True. |
| 15:32 |
Phrynne |
perhaps ... try not to *further* confuse them. |
| 15:32 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Desmond said something last night. Caledon is not a rp only sim. You do not have dress the part, only be decently attired. |
| 15:32 |
Phrynne |
*further* |
| 15:32 |
Russell A. Firecrest (adventureruss) |
I like to preconfuse me friends when they come into SL. |
| 15:32 |
RainyDayRecess |
;) |
| 15:33 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Sometimes IMVU has confused them.. |
| 15:33 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Yes, Desmond was responding to someone being told that you had to always be in period dress. This is not the case. |
| 15:33 |
RainyDayRecess |
Ohhhhh |
| 15:34 |
star (astarynite) |
you would need to enlarge it, JJ probably can, with the roof and all it was hard and I gave up |
| 15:34 |
Kara2016 |
These days it hard too tell the victorian dress from the modern dress. |
| 15:34 |
star (astarynite) |
sorry ww |
| 15:34 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
And newcomers come sometimes straight to Oxbridge, so they have no other outfits yet |
| 15:34 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And Oxbridge, being akin to a spaceport, is basically unconcerned with dress except that it be G-rated rather than OMG rated. |
| 15:34 |
Phrynne |
More hoops and crinolines in the Victorian era than now |
| 15:34 |
Caledon Hot Chocolate Mug whispers |
mmmmm... . |
| 15:35 |
Rowan Entilles (rowan900) |
hahhah |
| 15:35 |
RainyDayRecess |
:D |
| 15:35 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
About as much corsets... |
| 15:35 |
Kara2016 |
giggles. |
| 15:35 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And, if I haven't said it, we're open to general questions. |
| 15:36 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Elizabeth in the first Pirates of the Caribbean: "If you want pain, try wearing a corset". |
| 15:36 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
*corset |
| 15:36 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Hi lovejoy. |
| 15:36 |
Phrynne |
She's not wrong if they aren't properly fitted |
| 15:36 |
Russell A. Firecrest (adventureruss) |
I have a question, related to Caledon in general. |
| 15:36 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Some of those ladies had damaged internal organs... |
| 15:36 |
lovejoy2199 |
Hello Chancellor |

Hello everyone |
| 15:37 |
lovejoy2199 |
Hello Star |
| 15:37 |
Russell A. Firecrest (adventureruss) |
I have been struggling to find active roleplay groups of late. Are there any about in Caledon these days? |
| 15:37 |
Kara2016 |
hhmm.. |
| 15:37 |
Phrynne |
Rosehaven, just north of Caledon, has an active roleplay group. |
| 15:38 |
Phrynne |
It used to be Winterfell, if you look at the map. |
| 15:38 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And isn't Babbage more strictly Victorian? |
| 15:38 |
Phrynne |
NeoVictoria is active dark Victorian roleplay |
| 15:38 |
Russell A. Firecrest (adventureruss) |
In theme yes, though roleplay is entirely optional. |
| 15:39 |
Evil Sociopath Beware (cymbal.constantine) |
I love Babbage |
| 15:39 |
Russell A. Firecrest (adventureruss) |
Babbage has been rather quiet lately. |
| 15:39 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
quietly sips her dark matter |
| 15:39 |
lovejoy2199 |
As long as they have trains, I am ok. |
| 15:40 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Phrynne or others, any other known RP efforts? |
| 15:40 |
Russell A. Firecrest (adventureruss) |
Plenty of trains. |
| 15:40 |
lovejoy2199 |
*Smile* |
| 15:40 |
Phrynne |
There is another Victorian RP group but I can't remember the name. |
| 15:41 |
Phrynne |
I think some of the Western groups are RP, also |
| 15:41 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And Caledon would likely look a lot more Victorian at an event such as an anniversary ball. |
| 15:41 |
Evil Sociopath Beware (cymbal.constantine) |
You can always start one. An RP effort doesn't have to be landed |
| 15:42 |
Russell A. Firecrest (adventureruss) |
I have started one or two things. |
| 15:42 |
RainyDayRecess |
I'm in a RP group, but I've never been there, it's called 'We <3 Role-Play.....weloveroleplay.weebly.com |
| 15:42 |
star (astarynite) |
There is a large Western themed one which my friend is in, if you want I can get you the information Russell |
| 15:42 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
I think Jerahmya was involved with one Western group.... |
| 15:42 |
Kara2016 |
i remember there was RP group..during the Silkroad hunt..around Mieville. |
| 15:42 |
Russell A. Firecrest (adventureruss) |
That would be excellent. |
| 15:43 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I recall some western sims being no-fly and very traditional looking. Several sims together. |
| 15:44 |
Gronk Seriman |
Insilico is supposedly a futuristic Blade Runner type RP area. I hardly ever see enough people there to RP, though. |
| 15:45 |
Russell A. Firecrest (adventureruss) |
Two is enough for me if the people in question are interesting. |
| 15:45 |
Evil Sociopath Beware (cymbal.constantine) |
Love InSilico |
| 15:45 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
I am not sure how active the Weimar Republic sim is, RP-wise... |
| 15:46 |
Rowan Entilles (rowan900) |
They at least actively remove eles from the sim |
| 15:46 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Nods. I'd expect that there would also be some Medieval role play, particularly if the Society for Creative Anachronism has drifted into SL. |
| 15:46 |
Phrynne |
If you search on Role Play, there seem to be dozens of choices |
| 15:46 |
lovejoy2199 |
Wow. I haven't heard to them for a while. |
| 15:47 |
Russell A. Firecrest (adventureruss) |
Cheers everyone, I shall look into it. I'm mainly looking for steampunk themed areas. |
| 15:47 |
Phrynne |
Medieval, family, Harry Potter, elven, all sorts of things. |
| 15:47 |
Kara2016 |
SCA? |
| 15:48 |
Phrynne |
Society for Creative Anachronism. RL role play in the Medieval and Renaissance and sometimes Roman eras |
| 15:48 |
Kara2016 |
smiles brightly. |
| 15:48 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Way before the internet, SCA was doing medieval reenactment. |
| 15:49 |
Rowan Entilles (rowan900) |
hehhe I'm old enough to remember hahha |
| 15:49 |
Russell A. Firecrest (adventureruss) |
^-^ |
| 15:49 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Famous for their mock medieval battles... |
| 15:49 |
Phrynne |
I looked up Markland Military Militia, another RL re-enactment group (concentrates on the Battle of Hastings) but I don't see it here. |
| 15:49 |
Phrynne |
Both of these are still very active in RL |
| 15:50 |
lovejoy2199 |
Traveling across the country looking for their King. |
| 15:50 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
I was told some SCA guy called Finnish Medieval Society members "wimps".... |
| 15:50 |
Gronk Seriman |
As far as Steampunk RP, I still think New Babbage is the place you'll most likely find it. |
| 15:50 |
Rowan Entilles (rowan900) |
risky maneuver, that |
| 15:50 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Well, you'd expect that after being bashed on the head enough, some might not be so smart. |
| 15:51 |
Kara2016 |
ouch. |
| 15:51 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Other questions? |
| 15:51 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Carriages? |
| 15:51 |
Rowan Entilles (rowan900) |

Working on the script after I get back from a meeting, gone 21-25, which will affect next week's Q&A. |
| 15:54 |
Gronk Seriman |
Ooo! So w can talk about that nasty Wordsmiith guy, then? |
| 15:54 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
So, assuming the remaining deans hold a Q&A, someone please collect a transcript for me. |
| 15:54 |
Russell A. Firecrest (adventureruss) |
I have constructed an air taxi which can be available to anyone in the Caledon Taxi Alliance group. |
| 15:54 |
RainyDayRecess |
Sure thing ;) |

My presence next week may be iffy; I have an all day workshop. |
