badgerofzen |
hullo andrea and ember |
| 15:09 |
Ember (emberell) |
You'll be more than welcome to attend any and all of the events, Sanding! |
| 15:10 |
Tora the Explorer (toraona.thane) |
hiya Sandling! hiya Ember and Andrea and all the lovely peeps :-D |
| 15:10 |
Sandling Honey |
As long as there's candy, I'm somehow there! |
| 15:10 |
Kara of the bright smile (kara2016) |
Belive me..here the candy comes after you.. |
| 15:11 |
Ember (emberell) |
I'm told that Neo here will be hosting a Caledon Community Meeting every 2nd Saturday at 2pm SLT, in the Guv's mansion courtyard, also! |
| 15:11 |
Sandling Honey |
These are uncertain times we're living in for sure. I'll take that chance. |
| 15:11 |
|
NeoBokrug Elytis tips his hat. |
| 15:11 |
Frigid Cryotank |
I can just see a river of candy rolling towards an avatar... "me, eat me". "No, eat me...." |
| 15:11 |
Kara of the bright smile (kara2016) |
Smiles brigtly for Neo |
| 15:11 |
Ember (emberell) |
I think there was a scary sim that did just that Frigid |
| 15:11 |
Ember (emberell) |
That, or they'd mis-scripted the candy to act like zombies... |
| 15:11 |
Kara of the bright smile (kara2016) |
Laughing..someone should make one |
| 15:12 |
Spike (spike.bloodrose) |
a candy river? how sweet. |
| 15:12 |
Tora the Explorer (toraona.thane) |
death by candy river seems a good way to die :-D |
| 15:12 |
NeoBokrug Elytis |
Ember, I have a friend who did that. :) |
| 15:13 |
Frigid Cryotank |
Given Halloween coming up, there are some macabre scenarios that come to mind... |
| 15:13 |
Ember (emberell) |
Hee! That sounds fun. |
| 15:13 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
....caries, caries, caries,,,, |
| 15:13 |
Tora the Explorer (toraona.thane) |
again, death by candy |
| 15:13 |
Sandling Honey |
Well, it's a good thing all the children ritualistically consume all candy every year on this spectacular death, less the candy would actually evolve sentience and do this stuff |
| 15:13 |
Ember (emberell) |
With that said, have we any questions today? ♥ If you're unsure you can always ask us your questions in IM. We don't bite! |
| 15:14 |
Frigid Cryotank |
What was the name of that gruesome sci-fi movie? Oh, yes: "Alien" Think of Alien candy comes to ..visit. |
| 15:14 |
Sandling Honey |
I've seen a mars bar that was left unattended for a bit too long. I swear it started to scurry away |
| 15:14 |
Tora the Explorer (toraona.thane) |
it's our patriotic duty to eat as much candy as possible, lest it evolve. smart Sandling!! |
| 15:14 |
Agatha Macbeth |
Alien candy sounds good |
| 15:14 |
Ember (emberell) |
It sounds like we've more candy fiending than anyone :_) |
| 15:14 |
Sandling Honey |
I also somehow said Death instead of Day |
| 15:14 |
Ember (emberell) |
I'm tempted to wrap up early so y'all can find the nearest candy store! |
| 15:14 |
Agatha Macbeth |
Easy done |
| 15:14 |
Sandling Honey |
That's when you eat too much |
| 15:15 |
Tora the Explorer (toraona.thane) |
i knew there was a reason i'm so fond of my emberoonies! X-D |
| 15:15 |
Ember (emberell) |
:-) |
| 15:15 |
Ember (emberell) |
I know there are a few in SL. But it's been an age since I've visited one myself |
| 15:15 |
Frigid Cryotank |
If I scripted something like that, I'd probably collect an AR for "too gruesome for SL." |
| 15:16 |
|
Agatha Macbeth blinks |
| 15:16 |
Ember (emberell) |
It depends on the locale, I'd say. There are a fair few more mature exhibits that use very visceral displays |
| 15:16 |
Kara of the bright smile (kara2016) |
Have you visited any of the Haunted Places tour, Frigid? |
| 15:16 |
Frigid Cryotank |
Kara: thankfully, no. I get nightmares easily. |
| 15:16 |
Ember (emberell) |
Oh, speaking of, Kara - could I get a copy of this year's tour notecard, if you have one? |
| 15:17 |
Kara of the bright smile (kara2016) |
,..some give me the chills.. |
| 15:17 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
SL FAcebook group has had lots of ads for literally bloody avatars lately. |
| 15:17 |
Frigid Cryotank |
I wonder if it's possible for an avatar to swell up in real-time. |
| 15:17 |
Ember (emberell) |
Maybe, Frigid, with deformations |
| 15:17 |
Kara of the bright smile (kara2016) |
Ember..as soon as I start, i will send you a copy..I got distracted by decorating my place. |
| 15:17 |
Ember (emberell) |
Thanks Kara! ❤ |
| 15:18 |
Ember (emberell) |
with that said, I'm not hearing any questions. Last call - anyone have anything in SL we can help clear up? |
| 15:18 |
Ember (emberell) |
Much as I do quite appreciate the candy talk :-) |
| 15:19 |
Agatha Macbeth |
Sweet nothings |
| 15:19 |
Ember (emberell) |
It's ever more literal in SL, as they don't even have a sugar content here! |
| 15:19 |
Kara of the bright smile (kara2016) |
the only thing I do in Caledon..especially in chat is Smile brightly. |
| 15:19 |
Frigid Cryotank |
Being chased around Caledon by a 10 pound block of chocolate. |
| 15:19 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
I am looking for someone to make a texture for me for the vender machines. It is text basicaly on a alpha. |
| 15:19 |
Ember (emberell) |
I can do that, Andrea |
| 15:19 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
please let me know by IM if you can help |
| 15:19 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
ok then |
| 15:19 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
I will be adding some Halloween stuff to them |
| 15:19 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
or more stuff |
| 15:20 |
Ember (emberell) |
Wonderful! |
| 15:20 |
Ember (emberell) |
We'll keep an eye out! |
| 15:20 |
|
Ember (emberell) nods |
| 15:20 |
Sandling Honey |
As a new member of the community, I've had one question that came up to mind a few times now |
| 15:20 |
Ember (emberell) |
Ok, Sandling. What's on your mind? |
| 15:20 |
Sandling Honey |
and since I haven't actually asked anyone, I'll ask it here: |
| 15:20 |
Kara of the bright smile (kara2016) |
good place.. |
| 15:21 |
Sandling Honey |
What was the specific background/concept behind the Caledon Moors - It really stands out in its theme (and i mean, I love it) |
| 15:21 |
Sandling Honey |
Since we're going with Halloween, fall, and a bit of spooky |
| 15:22 |
Ember (emberell) |
Oh, that IS a good question. |
| 15:22 |
Ember (emberell) |
Andrea, do you happen to know the answer to that one? |
| 15:22 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Caledon Moors is a homestead. owned by one individual. I believe Star is setting up a event for Halloween there |
| 15:22 |
Kara of the bright smile (kara2016) |
Magda is the owner of the Moors |
| 15:22 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
that is correct kara |
| 15:22 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
there is a cemetary there from the early days of Caledon |
| 15:23 |
Sandling Honey |
It definitely is showcasing a Halloween vibe already indeed ;) - I just wasn't sure if it was perpetually in that state |
| 15:23 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
and it is a permanent fixture |
| 15:23 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
a memorial |
| 15:23 |
Kara of the bright smile (kara2016) |
The Moors are fantastic in its Simplicity. |
| 15:23 |
lovejoy2199 |
Take care everyone. And, stay safe. |
| 15:24 |
Sandling Honey |
I'm incredibly drawn to swampy areas, so I've spent quite some time just admiring the place |
| 15:24 |
|
Ember (emberell) nods |
| 15:24 |
Ember (emberell) |
If you're able to catch Magda around, you might be able to get a better answer out of her as to inspiration. But it's always been a place lovely to wander through when traveling Caledon |
| 15:25 |
Sandling Honey |
Thank you, I'll give her a poke : ) |
| 15:25 |
|
Ember (emberell) nods! |
| 15:25 |
Ember (emberell) |
A lot of the folk who manage the regions are very happy to get interested questions on 'em. So that's never a bad idea :-) |
| 15:26 |
Ember (emberell) |
With that said, are there any other questions? ♥ |
| 15:26 |
NeoBokrug Elytis |
Why? |
| 15:26 |
Oxbridge Donation Coin R1 (Alternate Lecture Hall) |
badgerofzen gave a generous donation to help support classes and tutorials at Caledon Oxbridge Gateway. |
| 15:26 |
NeoBokrug Elytis |
Ignore me, I am being ... a pain. |
| 15:26 |
NeoBokrug Elytis |
;) |
| 15:27 |
Kara of the bright smile (kara2016) |
You're fine, Neo |
| 15:27 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
ty badger of zen |
| 15:27 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
for the doantion |
| 15:27 |
Ember (emberell) |
Well, why is a good question! Asking here can be a great way to inspire others who have questions ,remind them what they might be missing... or just ask something someone else has forgotten to ask! |
| 15:27 |
|
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) hands Neo a butt |
| 15:27 |
Ember (emberell) |
Thank you, Badger, for the donation! |
| 15:27 |
badgerofzen |
:) |
| 15:28 |
Ember (emberell) |
HJehe. With that though, I think that has been all the questions for the day? Unless I am missing anyone - and if I am, please gently bap my beak! |
| 15:28 |
Frigid Cryotank |
Someone needs to fix that donation coin. |
| 15:28 |
|
Agatha Macbeth entered chat range (5.86 m). |
| 15:28 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Some people have seen the coin as a square for some reason. |
| 15:28 |
Ember (emberell) |
Word is working on the coin, actually. |
| 15:28 |
Kara of the bright smile (kara2016) |
it was working fine.. |
| 15:29 |
Ember (emberell) |
From my understanding it's a bit more complex an issue than just refreshing the database - the old one has failed entirely |
| 15:29 |
Ember (emberell) |
Donations still function fine - the display numbers are just borked! |
| 15:29 |
Spike (spike.bloodrose) |
yikes. |
| 15:29 |
Kara of the bright smile (kara2016) |
welcome back Agatha |
| 15:29 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Wordsmith holds the hats for several poisons here on staff and has only so much time |
| 15:29 |
|
Ember (emberell) nods |
| 15:29 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
so much |
| 15:29 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Oxbridge would need more heads for those hats |
| 15:29 |
Oxbridge Donation Coin R1 (Alternate Lecture Hall) |
Tora the Explorer (toraona.thane) gave a generous donation to help support classes and tutorials at Caledon Oxbridge Gateway. |
| 15:29 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
I keep hoping we find some folks interested in joining us |
| 15:29 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
thank you Tora |
| 15:30 |
Kara of the bright smile (kara2016) |
oh, the coin is offline |
| 15:30 |
Tora the Explorer (toraona.thane) |
yvw! |
| 15:30 |
Tora the Explorer (toraona.thane) |
it just worked for me?? |
| 15:31 |
Frigid Cryotank |
It's having a problem with HHTP comm. |
| 15:31 |
Kara of the bright smile (kara2016) |
Yes..its still taking donations. |
| 15:31 |
Tora the Explorer (toraona.thane) |
i mean, it took the donation ok. |
| 15:31 |
Tora the Explorer (toraona.thane) |
ah okies |
| 15:31 |
Tora the Explorer (toraona.thane) |
what you said :-P |
| 15:31 |
Frigid Cryotank |
Probably having difficulties recording statistics about the donation. |
| 15:32 |
Ember (emberell) |
Tora, thank you for your donation! ♥ |
| 15:32 |
Tora the Explorer (toraona.thane) |
yvw sweetie :-) |
| 15:32 |
Ember (emberell) |
But yeah, the donation works - it goes to Oxbridge's finance account. but it wont' display the number totally |
| 15:33 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
there was a broken link . something Word was working on |
| 15:34 |
Ember (emberell) |
With that said we ARE wrapped up for the day! Thank you all for being here! |
| 15:34 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
I has a gig at 4 |
| 15:34 |
Ember (emberell) |
I'm just collecting transcripts and all. If there are any other questions, please do feel free to ask. I'll linger and answer as I can |
