- Approach each topic with the mindset that each person is doing the best they can with the knowledge they have, staff and player alike.
- Please avoid topics around current events. Nothing should be revealed in an OOC meeting that others would prefer to find out in game ICly.
- This is not the correct forum for criticism of a specific player or a topic centered around one player. If there are concerns about a specific player, please address that with staff privately.
- This is not the correct forum for bringing up policy violations. If there are instances of perceived policy violations, please address that with staff privately."
Karrin questions, "Ok! We'll start with how everyone's been this week. So, how has everyone been this week?"
Hibiscus states, "I was sick and sadly haven't been able to RP. I am a bit worried though since I made items for Yule but missed the cut off. I am hopeful the items can still be put up."
Motherof claims, "Much crafting. Busy Yule."
Sulla says, "Fine enough, trying to cope with finding a new job and gettin the place cleaned up"
CherrySpice claims, "Pretty okay. Had some cozy RP, Yule plans are coming together, and my character got some Retail Therapy. *nod*"
Meiari exclaims, "Been battling the sads so haven't been around as much... But I got Yule Market up for you all to enjoy! Thank you merchants <3 and toss me a tell, I can put your things in Hibiscus"
Pippa states, "Pretty good, appreciated people showing up for Magebane and taking part"
Hibiscus declaims, "So sad to have missed Magebane too!"
Hibiscus declares, "Thank you, Meiari!"
Bigman claims, "The Magebane was super fun
"Karrin says, "Saw some fun recommends come through for Magebane, sounds like it was a fun time."
Harrow is carried in on a litter by a group of resplendent skeletons. [OOC]
Karrin pats Harrow on the head.
Karrin questions, "Do we have any topics for this week?"
woodsman pontificates, "I missed magebane, but it still generated RP for my PC, so that was extra super fun! "
CherrySpice claims, "Ohai Harrow and Harrow's skeletons."
Karrin states, "I will take that as a no. Alrighty! If anything commes up, just send me a tell, we'll fit you in."
Harrow says, "Hello party people. I may have been napping."
Karrin claims, "With one m. Things come up."
Karrin claims, "ANYWAY. This week, I've been sort of out of it. Had some serious issues with my air conditioner, and so I half melted, and half burned up. We're good now, though."
CherrySpice wonders, "Oh BLEUGH AC issues during summer? D:"
Karrin claims, "Yes, indeed."
Temi comforts Karrin.
Hibiscus claims, "I'm so sorry."
Karrin states, "Other than that, any, uh. "Issue" I handled was quite public. I imagine some agree with how I handled it, and some do not. It is as those things go."
Karrin claims to Temi, "Your turn."
Temi finishes abruptly, "Not too much this week. I think I saw some plots in draft state now, so not sure if they still need attention, make sure those are queued if they are ready - apologize there was some delay in looking at them before"
Temi says, "But I will be gone starting next Friday for a week, and may not have much access, so you'll need to survive without me"
CherrySpice says, "We'll miss you."
Temi grins.
Temi nods at Karrin.
Karrin declares, "Not as much as I will!"
Karrin states to Harrow, "Your turn."
Karrin nudges Harrow again.
Harrow claims, "I'm afraid I haven't done a lot really. I've been dealing with some RL things for the most part. I plan to be puppeting NPCs and eventually there might be some plot things in the near future, but yeah, apologies for not doing all that much the last week."
Karrin claims to Harrow, "Presence means a lot sometimes, too. It's fine to deal with RL."
Karrin states, "For all of us. It hits staff, too."
Karrin pontificates to Lochan, "Yoooooou!"
Lochan claims, "Me"
Lochan claims, "I have done absolutely nothing. The end"
Capitalism snickers.
Temi muses, "Just noodling around?"
Karrin states, "Not true, Lochan did some digging in code for me to figure out how some things work. But was busy, so hasn't been able to fix things yet."
Lochan claims, "Ah yes, digging"
Karrin wonders, "Spaghetti delving?"
Karrin exclaims to Dorothy, "Your turn!"
Dorothy says, "I did a couple of typos, helped on the staff side of Yule Market, including bringing out a holiday vendor, botched a request board then fixed it... good stuff all around! Also got slimed by Lochan at least once."
Temi grins.
Dorothy nods.
Karrin claims, "Ooooh, Yuuuuule. I think my epic heat situation made Yule feel very off."
CherrySpice states, "Slimed? Like that old Nickelodeon game show? Or is this some new youngster talk I'm not familiar with."
Dorothy says, "Nickelodeon slime. Ruined my ruby shoes *sighs*"
Temi claims, "Yeah, Yules that hit in summer often feel a little word"
Temi claims, "Weird*"
Karrin wonders, "Anyway, very good. I have not received any topic requests - do we have any topics? Grumbles? Compliments? General comments?"
Karrin says to a plush, little piglet with a spider sitting upon its snout, "You should probably smell like bacon, you know."
Pippa claims, "I'm still trying to make sure we get a Yule Ball nailed down but haven't received much input yet"
Capitalism declaims, "Shameless plug... Attend the Yule Market and buy things! RP with any craftsmen who might be there and have fun! The Grand Magnate and Magnate did their best to make sure it all worked!"
Pippa says, "But that's not really a staff problem"
Capitalism claims, "That's about all I got."
Karrin claims to Pippa, "What kind of input! I can provide input."
Karrin rubs her hands evilly.
Pippa says, "When people can be available to do stuff input"
CherrySpice declaims, "I did my part and spent a hefty chunk of currency. Go! Spend your cash! Invest in the economy!"
Karrin claims, "I am excellent with sticking my nose in where it doesn't belong."
Bigman says, "Yes, if you have coin, spend it, t always generates some RP
"Temi declares, "And if you don't have coin, you could have RP to borrow it and then to spend it extra RP all around!"
Karrin mumbles to Temi, "They burned the moneylender."
Karrin states, "That's it, make another moneylender, somebody."
Temi muses, "Well, then they might have to RP with a few people before they find who will do it?"
Karrin states to Temi, "True."
CherrySpice trails off, "That's what the Inquisition does to tax evasion..."
Meiari trails off, "Wait, CherrySpice might be onto something here..."
Karrin muses to Sparkles, "Not much time left, did you have a topic?"
Bigman questions, "Wait, you mean to say the Inquisition does NOT fear the IRS? "
Temi claims, "I think it's more tithe evasion"
Sparkles states, "Ah no, not today "
Karrin nods.
Capitalism states, "The IRS(Reeves) will just take it out of your bank account anyway."
Capitalism says, "It's their whole thing."
Karrin claims, "Alright! Well, whomever is not giving Pippa feedback to do the Yule ball, hop on that. Otherwise, unless we have anything else, I suppose I'll be sending everyone back. For those who -were- enjoying our new player this last week, I do apologize if I scared them away for good. I just needed them to... stop the constant stream of consciousness on a channel intended for people to get help. I hoped they'd take it, and internalize it, and try to cut back on just how much energy they were usurping. But, it seems they chose to vanish completely instead."
Sulla states, "I was wondering what you meant by that issue"
Karrin claims, "No, I did not ban them. They have perfect capabilities of returning."
Sulla states, "I think it might be worth looking into making it possible for one to temporarily mute vis"
Karrin trails off to Sulla, "You can mute visnet..."
Karrin claims, "I mean, aides and staff can't, but you can."
Bigman claims, "One can mute visnet just like one can mu--- What Karrin said
"Sulla states, "Wait how"
Karrin states, "It was the Discord that they were bombing for 2.5 days straight."
Karrin claims to Sulla, "By typing just 'visnet'."
Temi nods.
Sulla says, "I see, I don't actually use the discord so i had no idea"
Temi says, "On its own it should be a toggle"
Karrin nods.
Karrin says, "You can toggle most/all OOC channels that way as long as you don't have an aide tag. And, we do need to set it to where if they take their aide tag off, they should be able to, also."
Karrin says, "But we need to look into that. "
Bigman muses, "Aids can un-aide themselves? Or you mean when they step down? "
Bigman claims, "AIDES. E with the E."
Karrin claims, "They can just turn their aide tag off on the who list."
Karrin claims, "Most of mine don't, but yes, they CAN."
Temi states, "Going off duty when they're busy with something or whatnot"
Temi nods.
Bigman exclaims, "Fair, good to know! "
Karrin states, "I only aide each of them on a single character, too. So."
Karrin shrugs.
Karrin claims, "And only with their permission. I don't aide anyone who does not agree to be aided, that'd feel weird."
Bigman states, "Oh yeah, that was my assumption too
"Temi nods in agreement.
Karrin claims, "ANYWAY, ok. I guess I can send you all back to the grid to enjoy some Yuletide funsies."
Karrin claims, "If we have babies in Septembris, WE KNOW WHAT HAPPENED. Ok. Shoo. Have a wonderful week, see you next week."
