Phrynne, Ember and I figured out the problem with the TPs to the CAT landing. If one just touched the TP it worked. If one did what it said, which was to right click it and select teleport, it didn't work. |

I've sorted the teleporter so that the instructions match what needs to be done (and removed the broken scripting in the posts so they don't capture people anymore) |

What do you have for us from The Commons, Ember? |
| 15:03 |
Ember (emberell) |
My work in commons has been slow the last few weeks, but I've just managed to catch up with updating the campus to a more wintery look. With many thanks to Jorge's fabulous winter finds, the campus is looking much more festive now. |
| 15:03 |
Agatha Macbeth |
Yay |
| 15:03 |

Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) spanks disobedient snow banks |

Ember (emberell) |
Aside from that, I've been recovering from a minor injury since returning from a vacation abroad - so work has been slow. But Oxbridge is still looking for people willing to help out, whether as tutors, teachers, or otherwise. If you want to get involved and help out here, please reach out to me, Word, or any of the other staff here, we'll help you figure out how you can do so |
| 15:04 |
Ember (emberell) |
That's all from me, this week |
| 15:04 |
Agatha Macbeth |
Aww |

Several people have sent me textures for their Christmas cards made at the card platform |
| 15:07 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
That was my fault, Liska. Was under the weather and spaced it. |
| 15:08 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
and sent me the textures to send out |
| 15:08 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
I'll be sending those out in the ISC group notices and the Nights group notices |

the platform was for anyone, particular those with no land or low primage, to use |
| 15:10 |
Liska da'Lantros (liskadalantros) |
I needed to make mine a physical card, as the aspect ratio didn't work well as a texture |
| 15:10 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
it was up to you if you wanted to share. As a texture or in a object |
| 15:11 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
i have the cards I have been sent on the back wall of the loft |

I was reminiscing about years past when we all send lots of cards to each other. So put the builds in place. |

Phrynne |
I wrote him a while ago and had no reply |
| 15:32 |
Agatha Macbeth |
:( |
| 15:32 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I haven't heard anything from, Carl recently. The last was simply a message from him that VWBPE was accepting proposals. |
| 15:32 |
Agatha Macbeth |
Ok, thanks |
| 15:34 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I looked into exhibits for VWBPE, the theme is "uncommon realities", but exhibits have to fit within six (not all that uncommon) biomes, so I dropped the idea. |
| 15:34 |
Agatha Macbeth |
Aww |
| 15:35 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Not enough space? |
| 15:36 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I had been thinking of forced perspective dioramas on places like Icelandic volcanic fields, Saturn's moon Enceladus (they just discovered phosphorus there ... the last element needed for life). |
| 15:36 |
Agatha Macbeth |
Yay |
| 15:36 |
highlyadjective |
I've never heard of 'biomes' |
| 15:37 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And they recently discovered photochemistry on the exoplanet WASP 39B. |
| 15:37 |
Agatha Macbeth |
Wow |
| 15:38 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
but none of that fits the biome restrictions. I may still play around with those just because. I also bought a book on forced-perspective dioramas. |
| 15:38 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Biome as in certain kind of forest, desert, tundra |
| 15:38 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
yep |
| 15:39 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Granted, rather many people assume that Minecraft invented the term and that is not true... |
| 15:39 |
Agatha Macbeth |
Hehe |

"Biome" is a terminology of different "environments" and fauna within that Biome. |

| 15:42 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Unless someone has taken the cactus there :-) |

There's a desert in Peru that has mountains but no rain |

Liska da'Lantros (liskadalantros) |

I don't get that it is a restriction - looks like you can request a particular biome? But I don't know anything about setting up exhibits anyway :) |
| 15:43 |
Agatha Macbeth |
Right |
| 15:43 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
They've got a statement that things not fitting the biome are subject to removal |
| 15:44 |
Agatha Macbeth |
Not surprising really |
| 15:44 |
Ember (emberell) |
And there are a limited numer of biomes |
| 15:45 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
"Exhibit designs must conform to the biome type in which your exhibit is placed. Builds which do not blend into the environment will be asked to be redesigned or may be removed." |
| 15:45 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Any other topics? |
| 15:46 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
"WHy I cannot place the polar bear dance exhibit in a middle of Nazca Lines reconstruction?" |
