Below is a short summary of the latest Community Meeting, followed by its chat logs – which have been gently edited for formatting, to put questions and answers in bold for easy skimming, and to omit greetings and farewells and other such asides. Meetings are hosted by Estate owner NeoBokrug Elytis at 2:00 pm on the first Saturday of every month at The Potato Farm in The Wastelands, and the discussion is typically divided into three main topics: Estate, Game, and Roleplay & Events. Everyone is welcome to attend!
ESTATE:
➳ Tier’s going up 50% next month – April Fool’s!
➳ Occupancy has gone up in March, and may tick upward a little more in April.
➳ LL has released new Estate management options that can deny access to scripted agents (aka ‘bots.’)
➳ Have strong opinions on whether bots should be allowed or banned? Contact Neo through IM, notecard, email, semaphore, etc. and he’ll evaluate the community opinion!
➳ Little progress on the Northgate Community Gateway, but multiple RL obligations got squared away to allow more time from now on.
➳ Neo needs to do a deep-dive into the Estate EEP settings: there may be bugs or a conflict in code, and he may need to start things over to make the weather and dynamic clouds function properly.
GAME:
➳ For April Fool’s Day, Neo added some extra behavior to the crates. And possibly some extra swamp gas…
➳ There’s another surprise he wanted to release, but couldn’t finish in time. It should be released soon, and be live for a week or so.
➳ Nests are spawning through Sunday, April 9th – click to find WL: Eggs!
➳ Scythejaw will be painting said eggs again on Sunday the 9th – possibly with new patterns…
➳ Neo still hasn’t checked to see if the script memory issue is fixed in order to re-enable DoT effects.
➳ Work on the new pathfinding code is still in progress.
➳ No luck yet in finding lower-LI animesh rats for our next huntable mob.
➳ When ready, the new pathfinding will also be applied to the Dust Devils – which will hopefully be able to push and throw avatars again, as well.
➳ The Dune Trappers are still hibernating until their code can be updated.
➳ Wrong-person deathaports may be due to an issue in a core game system – one that may be easier to rewrite entirely than to fix a small part of in isolation.
➳ New items won’t be added to the game until various subsystems can be updated: spawning, the HUD, and item scripts.
➳ So, no WL: Cheese Sandwich.
ROLEPLAY & EVENTS:
➳ The Red Revival returns on Saturday, April 22! Be a Ghoul for a day – or have your character “heed The Call,” volunteer for some affectionate ritual sacrifice, and potentially become a Ghoul permanently!
➳ Anyone interested in DJing for it – or in potentially going Ghoul – can contact Apo to make arrangements.
➳ To literally drum up any sleeping Ghouls, Doktor Pileus will lead the Red Parade through the Estate starting at 6pm on Friday, April 21. Get an inworld instrument or noisemaker and make a godsawful din!
➳ Dassina Andel hosted the first of a series of Learn How To Fight Nights on March 25th, with info and movement drills for WL: Combat.
➳ Neo will host a roleplay workshop on Saturday the 15th to help any RPers, new or old, learn some of the fundamentals.
➳ Fight Night is still only going to be an occasional event with no fixed schedule for attempts.
➳ Dassina’s “Clerks” trailer inspired machinima is on hold pending new props.
➳ Apo may be hosting a special screening at Burnt Oak Drive-In at around 2:30pm SLT on 4/20.
➳ Reminder: The roleplay character template has been added to the Wiki – add yours today! Or review it to see who’s who and get some ideas for interactions.

I. THE ESTATE
NeoBokrug Elytis: IT’S… TIME.
Aposiopesis Fullstop: wooo!
Mayo von Schrott (myotis.draconia): its time for rum
NeoBokrug Elytis: As per the usual; we’ll talk about the three main aspects of the estate; Land, Game, Role-play & Events — with time for discussion between each. RP & Events is typically an open floor.
NeoBokrug Elytis: + discussion.
NeoBokrug Elytis: Starting with estate and land.
NeoBokrug Elytis: Occupancy has had a small bump up this past month. Things are doin’ alright. I appreciate you all but…
NeoBokrug Elytis: I have to increase tier by 50% next month. :\
Sketchkat Blackflag: :O
Tristan Kuramoto:
Irk (shannonwilsonbell): hahah!!
Kurk (ironblood.mechanique): still cheaper than eggs
Mayo von Schrott (myotis.draconia): lol nice prank
Aposiopesis Fullstop FROWNS!
Aposiopesis Fullstop: Hahaha
Aposiopesis Fullstop: Would help me with that diet I keep meaning to go on, Neo…
Sketchkat Blackflag: xD
Memory Harker: Vikki! :D
NeoBokrug Elytis: In general there hasn’t been much going on regarding estate stuff, but I do have a few questions for you folks.
NeoBokrug Elytis: Does anyone feel strongly about bots in general?
Sketchkat Blackflag: what kinda bots?
Vikki Placebo: RL or SL bots?
NeoBokrug Elytis: SL Bots.
Irk (shannonwilsonbell): I don’t trust them to repair my spaceship.
Vikki Placebo: oh they’re lovely.
Aposiopesis Fullstop: Depends what they do! I’m not concerned by most SL ones.
Mayo von Schrott (myotis.draconia): These bots are made for walking
Kurk (ironblood.mechanique): lol
Tristan Kuramoto: I see them alot pop up in WL
Vikki Placebo: hehehe
Memory Harker: Heee, Mayo!
Aposiopesis Fullstop: I’ve heard rumors that some cann just show up and copybot everything, but I dunno how true that is.
Aposiopesis Fullstop: *can
Vikki Placebo: if a normal viewer/user can do it, then… bot probably can
NeoBokrug Elytis: Non-legit viewers can do that too.
Sandling Honey: I have my own Money Chair industry of course
NeoBokrug Elytis: Bots can do anything a veiwer can.
Aposiopesis Fullstop: Haha, just what I was gonna say.
NeoBokrug Elytis: And sometimes ore.
Kyo (kyo.voxel): I mean, there’s always going to be a risk about copybotting regardless
Tristan Kuramoto: this Punch Out beat tho..
NeoBokrug Elytis: Right.
NeoBokrug Elytis: I personally don’t care about bots because they’ve been in SL as long as SL has existed. They only got a lot of attention because of the bonnie bots making public infomation; which LL has a policy about now. But since this estate is a bit democratic (as in I listen…)…
Memory Harker has been both bot and sold, is trying to get over it.
Aposiopesis Fullstop: Hah!
NeoBokrug Elytis: There’s a new option at the estate level where I can disallow accounts that identify themselves as bots. Which, if anyone didn’t want to identify could still get past that check.
Kyo (kyo.voxel): lol
Memory Harker winks stagily. Like a BOT would.
Tora the Explorer (toraona.thane): haha!!
Vikki Placebo: hehehehe
Memory Harker: Hiiii, Tora ‘Dorable!
Kyo (kyo.voxel): hi Tora!
Tora the Explorer (toraona.thane): hiya mem!! *hugs you soooo hard!*
NeoBokrug Elytis: So if anyone feels very strongly about bots not visiting the estate, let me know. I’ll consider it if a lot of people have concerns.
NeoBokrug Elytis: Right now bots can visit the estate.
Tora the Explorer (toraona.thane): sorry, was afk mother-in-lawing…
Tristan Kuramoto: ya the bonnie bots are always here
Tristan Kuramoto: see them poppin up during the day
NeoBokrug Elytis: They have to follow LLs new policies. :)
Sketchkat Blackflag: oh, are those the ones that have names like bonniebelle and bunches of numbers
Tristan Kuramoto: ya
NeoBokrug Elytis: Yarp
Sketchkat Blackflag: I see them frequently in other places, but strangely not here yet
Sketchkat Blackflag: must be wrong time
Memory Harker sings “Ohhh, th’ bonnie bonnie bots …. ”
Tristan Kuramoto: they pop up during the days here
Memory Harker dodges a thrown boot.
Sketchkat Blackflag: ahh x34
Tristan Kuramoto: well mornings
Sketchkat Blackflag: *x3
Vikki Placebo: hahaha
Tristan Kuramoto: there was one abouve the junkyard the other day
Tristan Kuramoto: above
NeoBokrug Elytis: It doesn’t sound like anyone cares too much. Wastelanders know what really matters; like what’s for dinner!
Sketchkat Blackflag: chicken nuggies
Kyo (kyo.voxel): stoo
Aposiopesis Fullstop: They only seem to pop in for a bit. “How many people are here? That’s a good enough metric to determine the value of a place! Sure worked in the old days of traffic metrics, boy howdy! now!”
Aposiopesis Fullstop: Bye
Memory Harker: Winglies!
Sketchkat Blackflag: mhm
Aposiopesis Fullstop: Bah, time-traveling gesture.
NeoBokrug Elytis: If anyone has concerns about them, or changes their mind about them, shoot me an IM. For now I’ll keep allowing them to visit. There’s actually a lot of bot survey systems out there, and some are very beneficial.
Memory Harker waves to Drifter and Irk and Mutsy!
Drifter (wastelanddrifter) waves.
Memory Harker: Hiya, Sketchy!
Irk (shannonwilsonbell) waves
Sketchkat Blackflag: Meowdy!
Kyo (kyo.voxel): I need to remember to log in on the weekends more haha
Memory Harker: And oh! Skyyyyylar!
Kyo (kyo.voxel): I’m so bad about it
NeoBokrug Elytis: Not much progress on Northgate this past month; but I’ve got a lot of RL obligations sorted out now. I should have considerable amount of time to start plunking away at it again.
Kyo (kyo.voxel): plunk!
Aposiopesis Fullstop: You should, Kyo!
Tristan Kuramoto: Cant wait to see Northgate
Kyo (kyo.voxel): yeah I’ve been busy RL as I’m about to start my last quarter for my associate’s degree :D
Tora the Explorer (toraona.thane) whispers: watching irk’s tushie swaying to this song is one hell of a fun experience….
NeoBokrug Elytis: Thanks for the tunes Sandling. :)
Sandling Honey: Thankees :D
Mayo von Schrott (myotis.draconia): as if this song knows that Rum is being guzzled
NeoBokrug Elytis: Any questions about estate or land stuff before we move on to game things?
Kyo (kyo.voxel): thanks for the tunes!
Dassina Andel can finally pay attention now that her food has arrived.
Memory Harker has never missed a Resting Bitch Face more than she misses Vikki’s Resting Bitch face. <3 <3 <3
Memory Harker giggles like a smol loon.
Aposiopesis Fullstop: Hee!
Aposiopesis Fullstop: Resting Witch Face, more like.
Sketchkat Blackflag: xD
Kyo (kyo.voxel): Resting Vik Face
Vikki Placebo: hehehe
Memory Harker: :D
NeoBokrug Elytis: Movin’ on to game stuff!
II. THE GAME
Aposiopesis Fullstop: Mess not with the Reaver Witch.
Memory Harker makes new Reaver Witch note.
NeoBokrug Elytis: If you’re running for crates today, you may have noticed something… different.
Aposiopesis Fullstop: :D
Vikki Placebo: :o
Memory Harker looks around for RM “All the Crates” Beedit.
Memory Harker: o.O
Kyo (kyo.voxel): let me guess the crates have legs too :O
Tristan Kuramoto: haha
Aposiopesis Fullstop: Not… quite…
Memory Harker: Heee, Kyo!
NeoBokrug Elytis: I also wanted to have one more surprise for today; but I was not able to get it done before the meeting/fight night.
Sketchkat Blackflag: aww x3
Kyo (kyo.voxel): σί! Verity
NeoBokrug Elytis: I WILL probably have it done tonight though, and I’ll leave it “live” for a week or so.
Mayo von Schrott (myotis.draconia): I didnt salvage today what did i miss
Aposiopesis Fullstop: Ohboy.
Aposiopesis Fullstop: Yesss, this song and this guy.
NeoBokrug Elytis: Also, lots of animals will be laying eggs soon.
Irk (shannonwilsonbell): “Ooooh!”
Aposiopesis Fullstop duly twerks.
Sketchkat Blackflag: oooh?!
Tristan Kuramoto: woo
Dassina Andel: Eggs. :3
Drifter (wastelanddrifter): Eyren
Tora the Explorer (toraona.thane): woooHOOOO will there be caledon eggs again? cuz i never ound one last year :-P
Aposiopesis Fullstop: Eggiweggs.
NeoBokrug Elytis: If we have some NEW art from Scythejaw remains to be seen, RL has been rough on all the devs.
Dassina Andel: Mmm, New Eggs.
NeoBokrug Elytis: Unless I have severe brain damage, I am certain there is no Caledon eggs.
Tora the Explorer (toraona.thane): oh dang.
Tora the Explorer (toraona.thane): ok, guess the universe will not implode :-P
NeoBokrug Elytis: We’ll see. We’ll all probably have to see the day of.
Aposiopesis Fullstop: <3
Tora the Explorer (toraona.thane): okies. i shall abide myself in patience
Memory Harker: If you GET brain damage, then there WILL be Caledon eggs?
Dassina Andel: Remember to Boil your Eggs, for best eatin’. https://wiki.the-wastelands.org/WL:_Boiled_Egg
Aposiopesis Fullstop: Hahaha
Vikki Placebo: lol
Tora the Explorer (toraona.thane): haha!!!
Memory Harker tries to work the logics, fails miserably.
Sketchkat Blackflag: ooh, thanks Dass
NeoBokrug Elytis: I think if I have brain damage I’ll just nap all day.
NeoBokrug Elytis: Well deserved brain damage nap.
Memory Harker: HEEEE!
Memory Harker: The best nappage of all.
NeoBokrug Elytis: Let’s see, what else for game things?
Mutsy Kaligawa is back after the tae-a-way finally arrived and has been checked out… all good!
Memory Harker: MUTTTTTTTTT-SEE!
Aposiopesis Fullstop: Last month’s logs, if it’s any reminder: https://press.the-wastelands.org/2023/03/11/community-meeting-march-4-2023/
Memory Harker waves and waves at the Big Monster Grrl.
Mutsy Kaligawa: ah, did I miss the estate stuff?
Aposiopesis Fullstop: And last year’s as well: https://press.the-wastelands.org/2022/04/15/community-meeting-april-2-2022/
Sketchkat Blackflag: is rats a mob yet?
Tristan Kuramoto: the DuneTrapper still in deep sleep?
Aposiopesis Fullstop: DoT effects back yet?
NeoBokrug Elytis: I have been trying to wrangle the EEP settings more, but I am running into some problems. I can’t tell if it’s a bug, or conflicting code in things. So, I think.. unfortunately I need to just start that whole EEP thing over. WHich means I need to have a layer that is a normal daycycle without clouds, probably at the highest elevation above the dark layer.
NeoBokrug Elytis: And I think I am only going to have the “actual `weather`” on the ground layer; sub-500 meters.
Sketchkat Blackflag nods
NeoBokrug Elytis: It’s a complicated problem, that gets more complex when I need to take in to account regions like The Sand Seas.
Aposiopesis Fullstop: Oh, yeah, weather probably ought to work there too, ideally…
Sketchkat Blackflag: oof yeah
Dassina Andel: Bad enough with the Dusk Devils. ;)
NeoBokrug Elytis: For now I am going to mostly take notes about that region, it’s elevations, and try to maybe cheat a little.
Dassina Andel: *Dust
NeoBokrug Elytis: Oh, speaking of — that new pathfinding I have been working on warrants a dust-devil update. Yes, it does pathfinding.
Sandling Honey: thx Memory :D
Memory Harker: yw, Sandling!
NeoBokrug Elytis: HOPEFULLY it will start throwing avatars around again.
Aposiopesis Fullstop: Oho! Did you get some of the problems from last month sorted then?
Dassina Andel: !
Aposiopesis Fullstop: OOOH.
Memory Harker gets on downnnnn-n-n-n
Aposiopesis Fullstop: I eagerly anticipate being yote.
Mutsy Kaligawa just read the thing about tier going up in chat back log u_u;
Memory Harker: XD
Aposiopesis Fullstop: Check the calendar, Mutsy.
NeoBokrug Elytis: Yes, the pathfinding stuff is better. I need to test on the region again. It’s certainly not perfect, but I think It’ll do.
Tora the Explorer (toraona.thane): yah, what apo says! i wanna get yeeted too
Dassina Andel: At least there’s no fire….
Sketchkat Blackflag: shhhh
Memory Harker makes note to yeet her dear friend Tora ASAP.
Aposiopesis Fullstop: Firenadoes comin’ outta Stygian…
Tora the Explorer (toraona.thane): haha!! lifts up her arms like a little kid X-D
Memory Harker applies Cosgrove’s Yeeting Lotion to the palms of her hands.
Aposiopesis Fullstop: Hahaha
Tora the Explorer (toraona.thane): HAHAH!!
Sketchkat Blackflag: XD
Vikki Placebo: lol
NeoBokrug Elytis: Some functions in LSL have a value associated with them called “Energy”, and basically the dust devil works for a while, because it has all the energy. It’s a dumb old system and I know why LL had it, but most things don’t even use it anymore. Fortunately I know a way around it.
NeoBokrug Elytis: When the dust devil pushes you, it uses this “energy”, and if you run out of energy for an object, then it doesn’t work anymore.
Aposiopesis Fullstop: Huh!
NeoBokrug Elytis: Energy regens slowly.
Dassina Andel: https://www.dropbox.com/s/n27hugyk1dhhvu7/StraightouttaFortStygian.png?dl=0
NeoBokrug Elytis: Yeah, not great.
Sketchkat Blackflag: didn’t even know that was a thing
NeoBokrug Elytis: Yeah, it’s super dooper old, and mostly asscociated with pushing and a few other functions.
Mayo von Schrott (myotis.draconia): I have a questio, Do Burnt Cappies keep the drug effect of Purple Mushrooms?
Mayo von Schrott (myotis.draconia): n
Dassina Andel: Yes
NeoBokrug Elytis: Eat some. Find out.
Aposiopesis Fullstop: Find out! :D
Dassina Andel: TASTE COLORS
Tristan Kuramoto: lol
Sandling Honey: Bonefish
Verity Goodnight: Dooo iiittt
Mayo von Schrott (myotis.draconia): I have another question. I have a question. Don’t you all agree that Psychobilly is THE music that suits ghouls the best?
Tora the Explorer (toraona.thane): goshdangitall i need that on a tshirt, dass!!!!
Mayo von Schrott (myotis.draconia): lol
NeoBokrug Elytis: https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Energy
Irk (shannonwilsonbell): Psychobilly: YES
Aposiopesis Fullstop: I can see that, Mayo! A lot has found its way into my research playlist for my Red Revival set. And other fucked-up folk.
Memory Harker sighs mightily. How am I sposed to keep up with the lastest and best fashions, if Verity isn’t gonna rez in my viewer?
NeoBokrug Elytis: I think that’s about it for game stuff. Keep an eye out for announcements tonight or tomorrow. Inworld and in Discord.
Mutsy Kaligawa: taste the rainbow
Dassina Andel: Quick-Halt T-Shirt Sales when…? Oh, wait.
NeoBokrug Elytis: ANy other questions about game related things?
Mayo von Schrott (myotis.draconia): I have a third question. Rum?
Dassina Andel: Any ETA on Falling Damage being un-borked?
Memory Harker: Yes! Why does the little car in Monopoly … oh, wait, no, wrong context. SORRRRY!
Aposiopesis Fullstop: DoT effects: have you figured out if the script memory is fixed?
Tristan Kuramoto: ya Dass when does your giftshop open lol
Mutsy Kaligawa: hahaha Mem!
Vikki Placebo: ;)
NeoBokrug Elytis: I have not. It’s an easy test I keep putting off. :\
Tora the Explorer (toraona.thane): I WANT THAT TSHIRT DASS SENSEI!
Memory Harker cams.
Aposiopesis Fullstop: Can that maybe happen for next month? You say it’s small, but it’s a really important thing for feedback when you’re fighting someone. It helps a lot to know if someone has experienced an effect.
Dassina Andel: I’d rather not sell t-shirts with technically WL IP on them. ;)
Tristan Kuramoto: I need a Dass commemorative mug for my display
Mutsy Kaligawa: me too
NeoBokrug Elytis: It’s on my pile of things to do.
Tora the Explorer (toraona.thane): raises hand as high as she can “me me me me me!!”
Tristan Kuramoto: Or a dass shirt that says I ways there and on the back have all her win dates on it
Mutsy Kaligawa: :D
Tristan Kuramoto: “I Was There”
Tora the Explorer (toraona.thane): YESYES L O L O L ok i’m gonna calm down now and unstick my shift key X-D
Dassina Andel: I will NOT be doing that date research. All 13 years of it. >.>
Mutsy Kaligawa: “I Was There”
NeoBokrug Elytis: Any other questions about game stuff?
Tristan Kuramoto: haha
Tristan Kuramoto: ya neo
Tristan Kuramoto: is the dunetrapper forever dead
Mutsy Kaligawa: Does Bloodmoss count as 1 of your 5 a day?
Aposiopesis Fullstop: Wrong-person deathaports: any investigation yet?
NeoBokrug Elytis: The Dune Trapper is not gone forever. It has problems that need fixing
Tristan Kuramoto: ah okies
Tora the Explorer (toraona.thane): oh yah!! it still makes me laugh to think i died and drifter got picked up off the couch outside the arena! i’m kinda proud of that
Mutsy Kaligawa: Aww, get well soon Dune Trapper :)
Tristan Kuramoto: hehe
Tristan Kuramoto: Get well soon
Memory Harker: Heee, Tora! Tora the Artful Reaper Dodger!
NeoBokrug Elytis: Wrong-person death-a-ports would require an update to a core system that is… difficult to fix. I’ll give it a look again, but I basically need to re-write it.
NeoBokrug Elytis: Any other game related questions?
Aposiopesis Fullstop: Any better animesh rats yet? ._.
NeoBokrug Elytis: No.
Tristan Kuramoto: ooo
Aposiopesis Fullstop: :C
Dassina Andel: But, will they taste better than fish? .>
Mayo von Schrott (myotis.draconia): I killed my first cave grub. does it have the same spawn rate as buzzards?
NeoBokrug Elytis: It needs the better pathfinding, which is getting closer to being done.
Mutsy Kaligawa: WL: Rat Burgers
Tora the Explorer (toraona.thane): let’s clone neo. i think he needs a bit of help :-P
Aposiopesis Fullstop: If they have 51 LI when rezzed, but not when attached, can you use experiences to attach them to someone and have them run to them from a distance? :V
Aposiopesis Fullstop: Probably couldn’t hit them then, though; drat.
Tristan Kuramoto: mmm
Mayo von Schrott (myotis.draconia): and WL: Popcorn?
NeoBokrug Elytis: Apo: No, they are animesh.
Tristan Kuramoto: no no WL: Grilled Cheese
Tora the Explorer (toraona.thane): no no WL cheez sammich!
Tora the Explorer (toraona.thane): hahah
Tristan Kuramoto: ah yes
Tora the Explorer (toraona.thane): JINX tristan!
Drifter (wastelanddrifter): Where does the milk from the cheese come from?
Tristan Kuramoto: lol
Aposiopesis Fullstop: Sand Hippos!
Drifter (wastelanddrifter): *for the cheese
NeoBokrug Elytis: I am not adding new items to the game until I get a lot of other smaller systems updated.
Irk (shannonwilsonbell): Sand Hippos
Tora the Explorer (toraona.thane): yes. what apo said.
Mutsy Kaligawa: Rat Burger, yum!
Tristan Kuramoto: its wastelands not a real grilled cheese
NeoBokrug Elytis: Sand hippos drifter
Tora the Explorer (toraona.thane): i will not volunteer to milk a hippo then
Aposiopesis Fullstop: Hahaha
Aposiopesis Fullstop: What all systems need updated, Neo?
Tristan Kuramoto: where do the cookies come from for the goreo?
Kyo (kyo.voxel): sand hippos. I never thought those were two words that I would ever see
Aposiopesis Fullstop: Burnt Cappies without the drugs. :D
NeoBokrug Elytis: A lot. Spawning, HUD, item scripts.
NeoBokrug Elytis: Pathfinding first, for some quick and fun joy.
Aposiopesis Fullstop: Ahhh. Kinda everything.
Mutsy Kaligawa: plenty goats arround
Aposiopesis Fullstop: Yeah, non-item updates would be nice too!
Dassina Andel: #EatTheGoats
Tristan Kuramoto: junkyard is full of goats
Mutsy Kaligawa: #LoveTheGoats
Aposiopesis Fullstop: Ned might want to #LoveTheGoats…
Mayo von Schrott (myotis.draconia): I have a taxidermy goat head
Tristan Kuramoto: haha
Mayo von Schrott (myotis.draconia): in SL not in RL lol
Aposiopesis Fullstop: Both would be badass, mind you!
Tristan Kuramoto: there were storys of killer hairless goats that lived in the junkyard tunnels
Mayo von Schrott (myotis.draconia): I know a man half goat half man, the lower oart man the upper part goat
Mayo von Schrott (myotis.draconia): *part
Tristan Kuramoto: haha
Aposiopesis Fullstop: Hahaha
Mayo von Schrott (myotis.draconia): drunkness typonese is kickin in
Aposiopesis Fullstop: One of the Nuafs, eh?
Aposiopesis Fullstop: Or maybe a Rytas?
Tristan Kuramoto: Storm is the only goat person i know
III. THE ROLEPLAY & EVENTS
NeoBokrug Elytis: Before I open the floor for RP and Events discussion. Does anyone have fun ideas for RP story-arcs that you’d like to see — but need some help fleshing out your ideas? I’d like to see more RP, because there certainly is interest; but I feel like a lot of people hold back because it can be intimidating.
Aposiopesis Fullstop: Like, large-scale Dev-run things, or individual arcs?
Mutsy Kaligawa: tbh, same here Tristan
Dassina Andel: Still doing a LOT of workshopping/note making about the Klurks.
NeoBokrug Elytis: Individual. Not dev arcs.
Aposiopesis Fullstop: Gotcha.
Aposiopesis Fullstop: Haha, I’ve got plenty on the boil. But always willing to help anyone else brainstorm / flesh things out! :D
Memory Harker: Yes! *raises her hand* “RM Beedit takes a weird mushroom, grows to 50 feet tall!”
Tristan Kuramoto: i was thinking about it still need to think of some things
NeoBokrug Elytis: Does anyone feel like a little RP workshop would be beneficial?
Irk (shannonwilsonbell): Yeah!
Sketchkat Blackflag: yeah, I think so :3 … am rusty xD
Tristan Kuramoto: ya neo
Memory Harker giggles, grateful for her friends’ patience with her silly ass.
Mutsy Kaligawa: I’ll be the caterpillar if you need one Mem
Tora the Explorer (toraona.thane): i’m here to support your ass, and the rest of you, mem!
Tora the Explorer (toraona.thane): X-D
Tristan Kuramoto: I have not rped in years
NeoBokrug Elytis: Okay, in a supposed RP workshop, what topics would you like covered?
Dassina Andel: Would be a good workshop, for those that aren’t into the fighting aspect of WL.
Irk (shannonwilsonbell): Races and Lore
Tristan Kuramoto: ah yes Irk
NeoBokrug Elytis writes down “Everything”.
Irk (shannonwilsonbell): hahah
Tristan Kuramoto: haha
Sandling Honey: \ o /
Memory Harker: Awwww, Tora!
Sketchkat Blackflag: ^ what Irk said, indeed
Memory Harker melts and beams.
Tora the Explorer (toraona.thane): oh lord, just to get to sit down while apo, or bartleby, tells stories about the olden times!
Memory Harker: :D
Aposiopesis Fullstop: D’awwwr.
Mutsy Kaligawa: :>
Memory Harker: WHAT TORA SAID
Dassina Andel: … which is good, because I need notes for the Stor-Y Soc.
Tora the Explorer (toraona.thane): L O L O L
NeoBokrug Elytis: So maybe on the 22nd, instead of “Other people’s suffering”, I’ll host an RP workshop for a few hours. That way people can ask questions, and get it directly from the source.
Aposiopesis Fullstop: Uh
Aposiopesis Fullstop: Please not on the 22nd.
Mutsy Kaligawa: o.o
NeoBokrug Elytis: Oh yeah
NeoBokrug Elytis: herp
Tristan Kuramoto: Indeed
Mutsy Kaligawa: hmm?
NeoBokrug Elytis: Maybe early on the 15th then.
Aposiopesis Fullstop: That’s the Red Revival. I would very strongly prefer there be a Fight Night.
Mutsy Kaligawa: oh heck, yes
NeoBokrug Elytis: Okay folks, that’s all I wanted to ask; Open floor for RP events and Discussion until 2:55pm, then we all move out of the arena.
Dassina Andel: So, I’ve got class notes ready for “Learn To Fight Night: A Primer on Weapons” if anyone is interested in another class taught by me.
Sandling Honey: Thanks Vikki :D
NeoBokrug Elytis: And continue the discussion
Irk (shannonwilsonbell): I am!
Vikki Placebo: thanks for musics, Sandling!
Sandling Honey: Get your cat in heat out of there
NeoBokrug Elytis: Yeah! Thanks for the tunes Sandling.
Mayo von Schrott (myotis.draconia): James Godzilla Brown
Dassina Andel: Last class seemed to be well-received, and I’d love to continue the trend
Aposiopesis Fullstop: Reminder to everyone including Neo apparently: The Red Revival returns on Saturday, April 22nd! Be a Ghoul for a day in a festival of movies, music, mushrooms, and madness! If you want your RP character (Human or Manimal only) to go Ghoul permanently, there could be an interesting opportunity for you after Doktor PIleus’ opening benection…
Sketchkat Blackflag: have never been to RR, is it a fairly long event?
Aposiopesis Fullstop: It’s an all-day festival.
Tristan Kuramoto: Good event js
Aposiopesis Fullstop: Usually starts around 9am or 10, runs until whenever it iends.
Aposiopesis Fullstop: *ends
Sketchkat Blackflag: ♥ good to know, as I know I got work rl xD
Aposiopesis Fullstop: But the ICly bit is just the first half-hour or so. The rest is OOC and hallucinations. :D
Sketchkat Blackflag: \o/
Mutsy Kaligawa: @w@
Irk (shannonwilsonbell): The Parade is also very good.
Dassina Andel: Is everyone okay with the same time as last time, possibly this coming off-weekend for Fight Night?
Sketchkat Blackflag thumbs ups.
Irk (shannonwilsonbell): Good for me, Dass.
Tora the Explorer (toraona.thane): ooh the parade! i missed that last year. gonna be there with dang bells on this time!!
Aposiopesis Fullstop: Oh yes indeed – the Red Parade will be at 6pm SLT on Friday the 21st! Make a godsawful din to wake any long-sleeping Ghouls and wander around The Wastelands (and maybe elsewhere, if we feel like being trouble.)
Aposiopesis Fullstop: Bells would be perfectly appropriate in that case! :V
Sketchkat Blackflag: haha
Tora the Explorer (toraona.thane): i shall work on an Outfit
Irk (shannonwilsonbell): The Parade had me laughing until I had to log off. Super fun :)
Aposiopesis Fullstop: :D
Mutsy Kaligawa: hopefully i can have a nap and witness it
Aposiopesis Fullstop: And yeah, that timing should work, Dass. It’s the familiar wartime for anyone combat-inclined here. :D
Drifter (wastelanddrifter): It can be your unusually aggressive alarm clock
Aposiopesis Fullstop: Hhaha
Sketchkat Blackflag: can someone record it? ^^
Tora the Explorer (toraona.thane): oh hell yes!!!
Tora the Explorer (toraona.thane): that would be appallingly cool!
NeoBokrug Elytis: I look forward to seeing your students in the ring.
Aposiopesis Fullstop: Er, I could try to. I tried last year, but it didn’t get the audio somehow.
Sketchkat Blackflag: s’fair :3
Sandling Honey: Thanks Angharad! :D
Aposiopesis Fullstop: I might check it again; always a chance I just dicked something up in Handbrake.
Angharad Greggan: Thanks Sandling
Dassina Andel: Next Class will be all about weapons, EXCEPT Fistwraps. Those, deserve their own dedicated class time.
Tora the Explorer (toraona.thane): brilliant set as always, sandling!
Sandling Honey: Extra nutty, but it fits the day
Sandling Honey: : >
Mutsy Kaligawa: take the red pill!
Angharad Greggan: haha
Sketchkat Blackflag: ooh ♥ sounds good Dass
Aposiopesis Fullstop: And if anyone’s wanting to learn RP things, but has The Awkwards about a group setting – or if you just want some personalized one-on-one workshopping to build a character – lemme know! I would gladly be a consultant. :D
Mutsy Kaligawa: ooh tune
Dassina Andel: Oh, work on the WL: Clerks trailer is halted, until I receive some key mesh pieces I need for the Quick-Halt. x.x
NeoBokrug Elytis: If folks could come out of the arena, we can continue the discussion up here to the top of the hour.
Dassina Andel: I’m… 90% done with the script.
Mutsy Kaligawa grabs more rum
Aposiopesis Fullstop: wo
Aposiopesis Fullstop: wooo!
Aposiopesis Fullstop: OH, I almost forgot.
Keichi Hyun: brb
Aposiopesis Fullstop: I might try to wedge a special Burnt Oak screening in on 4/20, sometime before Dia music (and also after I get off work.) :D
Tora the Explorer (toraona.thane): and everybody remember to leave out a plate of weed cookies for Snoop on 4/20
Aposiopesis Fullstop: Haha!
Sketchkat Blackflag: lmao
Vikki Placebo: hehehe
