Dreamscape Town Meeting - June 17th, 2000
Original article by Shawnee Chance, courtesy of the Virtual Planet newspaper.
The text isn't the full unedited transcript, but big chunks of text from questions the author thought was relevant.
Text of Town Meeting -- I have deleted overlapping avatar names for clarity -- Shawnee
Michael (Avaterra): A correction to what I said last week -- we originally wanted to open the theatre in June, but decided to put this on hold and open it by end of July or very early August. That doesn't mean "nothing will happen" for a month -- just means theatre is a bit delayed. The rough order is: theatre, boardwalk, regency hall.
Michael (Avaterra): Dual avatar login: It takes up to three weeks after you sent the request. If you sent another request, the previously submitted request will be deleted. so please don't resent it if it hasn't been three weeks yet. chances are that we will have processed all requests by end of this week. Probably sooner. You will receive a confirmation via email, if your email address works. (amazingly many emails bounce back) and the requests need to be send to support@avaterra.com -- not to my mailbox. It's likely to get lost there.
Michael (Avaterra): Although we changed the VZc town meetings (only one meeting per month), we are going to have weekly town meetings in Dreamscape. Please don't expect a ton of news every Saturday, but it's a good opportunity to ask questions and bring up concerns and issues. I can't ignore you if you're upset with me. <g> Most of the town meetings will be kind of "open end", but we'd like to keep them under three hours.
Michael (Avaterra): I'm currently looking into the possibility of a "news page" for you ... a place for us to post quick announcements. This would not replace the papers, just an addition, and help those of you who dislike the Delphi forum.
Michael (Avaterra): The Dreamscape Newsletter (email) will be back shortly. Hopefully this time more ... frequently. <cough> The VZones/Avarerra web site will be updated/remodeled very soon, so if you hate waiting 3 hours for the entry page to load, I think you can expect some improvements in this area.
Michael (Avaterra): Last but not least, our ISP, Global Frontiers/GlobalCenter, has been a major pain in the rear this past week. It only affected some of our members -- but it was really annoying. It's clearly beyond our control and affected most of their customers on the west coast, however, just wanted to mention it so that you know that we are aware of the problems ... and that we are not sweeping it under our large carpet. There is probably not much room left, anyway... <grin>
Michael (Avaterra): Oh, anime bodies! The male bodies will be fixed very soon. Brimble, one of our long-term artists, is looking into the problem. It's surprising that we didn't catch that problem before the bodies were released.
MoonGlow II: hi yas <grin>
MoonGlow II: Well i have a techy question -- several times lately i have gotten error msg from my system DR.
Michael (Avaterra): What kind of messages did you get?
MoonGlow II: says... Vzones/deram scape not allocating proper space for the program, my Symatec fixes it.. Is it possible or will it ever be possible to contact tech support via phone for problems like this?? No not running out of resources...
Michael (Avaterra): Did you experience any problems inworld?
MoonGlow II: gives me a path vzones.....dreamscape not allocating enough space to run program, only happens when i am inworld -- seems like a glitch in the program??
Michael (Avaterra): Hmm... sounds like a memory problem. If you keep getting the same message, I'd suggest to post to the technical support folder in the DS forum or email Ange directly at award@avaterra.com.
MoonGlow II: will we ever or can we now contact technical support via phone for quirks like this
Michael (Avaterra): Yes, we said so when we announced the pricing change. As far as I know, these plans haven't changed -- phone support should be available soooooon.
Officer Jenny: Hi I'd like to say WTG!! on all the recent changes! They r all great!
Michael (Avaterra): Thank you! <grin> which did you like best?
Officer Jenny: but will u able to add more games rooms? (to HG) As in 2 chess rooms?
Michael (Avaterra): We are monitoring the usage of the rooms -- if the rooms are still crowded after the newness has worn off, then we will add more rooms, yes. Just waiting to see how you folks like the games. <grin>
Officer Jenny: ohh I c fair enough <grin> the other thing is netscape navigator, I've now changed to internet explorer but i do want to go back, i was wondering --have u sorted out the problem? r u aware of the problem LOL it doesn't load up the 4 windows and u get a lot of windows and error msg coming up
Michael (Avaterra): As far as I know, this has not been changed yet ...
Officer Jenny: well let us know when u do <grin>
Michael (Avaterra): Ghosties say no, hasn't been corrected yet.
Officer Jenny: okay thanx
Michael (Avaterra): Internet Explorer works fine, though. <grin>
Officer Jenny: keep up the great work WTG
Michael (Avaterra): thank you. <grin>
Mijage: hi folks
Michael (Avaterra): If my pockets weren't full, I would not hold the "pot". <g> (Darcy is harassing me! <grin>)
Mijage: I have at least 2 questions.. <shrug> Let's start with the most important <grin>
Mijage: 1. Is there a way to put a "Reset" button in each game room of HG to reset the game pieces?
Michael (Avaterra): No, there is no such way .... not without major changes to the code ... and that is not an option at this time. If everyone cleans up the board when they have finished playing, I think that is the best way to deal with the problem...
Mijage: sounds reasonable to me i guess <g>
Mijage: 2. Why does there have to be a Quality Control on locales that will only be IW for 2 days?
Michael (Avaterra): Interesting question. <g> Because they are public -- there is really no difference between a public locale that is here to stay, or one that will be around for a weekend. The standards and the building guidelines are the same. The "idea" is that you can expect the same "quality" no matter where you go. I understand the question .... and the concern.
Mijage: most of the players only stay in the event center to buy the vendo items and to play games there, It's not like they stay there for hours on end
Michael (Avaterra): that is what it is for... to play games there. <grin> Yes ... and that's why I don't think we need entirely new locales for just one weekend.
Mijage: that's 20% of what makes an event fun <shrug> it's nice to see the CT's work if it was decorated there would be MORE PLAYING there Only the pink avvies of the world enjoy playing there now <g> The decorated EC was a major attraction for every event and dae is only one person among the hundreds in this world
Caretaker gloree: Let me just say this .. we had fun doing the EC too, but we still have some things we can do to add to events. for example, several of the events have used the cloned turf that we can build or decorate for puzzles designed for events. So we hope there will still be some fun things we can do to support you
Mijage: Well, there are fun things you can do, And all of us enjoy the turfs for turf hunts And like the old EC's, we love seeing your work there, But the fact remains, an event center is for events!
Jungle Angel: Gweetings all <wave><huggs> bear wif me i am laggin a bit <G> first off... wanted to say thank you so much for the wonderful changes .... the bodies.. the meetings.. new vmart.... everything has been wonderful... but... was wonderin.... any word on the bar remover yet? <bow> Rupert
Michael (Avaterra): No, I haven't been able to find a way to remove the cage without Rupert biting into my tail. In other words, haven't loacated a cage-less Rupert artwork yet. <sigh>
Jungle Angel: he is really quite gentle.. <G> that is okay.. pwease let me know ...
Michael (Avaterra): You basically live next to the cage... so I'd say you'll be one of the first to notice <grin>
Jungle Angel: thank you for answering our questions.. *huggs*
Abbi Bi SeXXy: Good afternoon everyone. Michael. The HG looks good, thanks for opening it, especialy the backgammon room..
Abbi Bi SeXXy: Anyway, in the Backgammon room, the chairs are worthless since we cannot sit in them while spinning the dice. May I suggest getting rid of them totally in that room. Also, if U remove the chairs, Maybe Brimble can make the board wider so it would be easier to move the men. As it stands now, the triangles are a tad too small, and the stones run together. Can the dice be larger too?
Abbi Bi SeXXy: Please read the Virtual Planet paper. Shawnee Chance has written some excellent Suggestions/Compromise ideas for the Event Center. Most EVENT CENTERS are for the enjoyment of ALL for events...Also, Putting folks in an "event clone turf" flies in the face of the RULE of making more games etc VISIBLE on the streets or Public Locales. <grin>
Abbi Bi SeXXy: I totally understand the letters in bags issue. Don't like it, but understand.
Abbi Bi SeXXy: Also I am very sorry to see Jal & Suz resign as CT's due to the hideous vendos now in V-mart, and their great decorative ideas being trashed.
Abbi Bi SeXXy: Thank you for your input on the EO recognition gifts/prizes. This has opened good discussion on the issue in the DS event forum.
Abbi Bi SeXXy: Sure wish the anime bikini bodies would come out. Would look a lot better than the ones we currently haveIMO <grin>
Michael (Avaterra): Backgammon game ... will forward to Brimble.
Michael (Avaterra): Event Center -- yes, have read the ideas, and this seemed mostly alright, no objections.
Michael (Avaterra): Jal and Suz ... didn't resign because of the V-Mart changes.
Michael (Avaterra): bikini bodies -- no plans to release them in either of the worlds The loincloth bodies don't have all animations, so they are not really ready for release at this time.
luvsparks golden knight: i wan to just say thank u for all the nice new things and the 2 avis
Michael (Avaterra): Glad you like. <grin>
luvsparks golden knight: michael,do u have something agaist larger boosoms? I mean look
Caretaker gloree: here here, is this fair sir? well i do thnk u all for the hard work in pleaseing us. is he gunna speak? i have to demand answer sir
Michael (Avaterra): I had to catch some breath...
Oracle Electra: I don't think he wants to comment on bosoms <G>
Caretaker gloree: now you know what replaces the shoe question
Michael (Avaterra): Lots of suggestions from the ghosties... but if I said any of this, I would be in trouble.
luvsparks golden knight: hey i am 49 i can handle
Michael (Avaterra): I'll forward your feedback to the art department and ask them for wonder bras...?
Oracle Electra: LOL
Caretaker gloree: lol
luvsparks golden knight: rofl
luvsparks golden knight: ok good enough u know i adore u for all u have dont michael, so slep at night in peace
Michael (Avaterra): why is everyone telling me that it is 1-0 for England? <g>
avatar7: hehehe Hugggggggggggs C<grin>
avatar7: Otay, my concern, and my hope, with a tad of background.............
avatar7: I remember when I discovered ghost racing, and that fun rush of just gettin down.............. over the passage of time, there have evolved the "pathces" .............. and "shortcuts"............... and it is just so obvious when one avi after another wins three in a row............. and I hate to say, it aint no fun no more <sigh>
avatar7: is there any way............................... that maybe an aco, if available, could monitor for the pathchers and and shortcuters................ and try to bring back some balance to the wonderful game? is there anything being considered or worked on to remedy??
Michael (Avaterra): Okay ... this falls into the responsibility of the events CTs, but I just got an email about this earlier today.
Michael (Avaterra): I, too, remember the "thrill" of ghost racing .... I was quite addicted to it .... and I *won* it one time, in March '96. was very stressful. <grin>
Michael (Avaterra): so, anyway... after reading the email, I decided to show up at some of the ghost races to check out what's going on. With an alt ... Other than that... I really have no good solutions for this problem. If someone has a very fast connection and a highend machine, it's possible to win every race, but yeah, I agree, it's a bit unlikely.
avatar7: I know Michael, and there is creedance in that............
avatar7: OK, good, you arent denyin then <bow> yes, that is what Im wonder if is possible and in the works?
Michael (Avaterra): main problem for us is: we need to prove that someone *is* using cheating and using patches.
Michael (Avaterra): No, I'm not denying it -- greed does that to people.
Michael (Avaterra): I don't know if it's possible to ever do something that completely prevents people from cheating --- maybe the solution is to do away with prize heads.
avatar7: God forbid, for some strange reason, we all respect each other, and keep the playing field even for all, the easiest thing to do<shrug>, but no<sigh>
avatar7: No, I dont think so Michael, probally be sumthing else, if not the head
Caretaker gloree: Some Hosts design races so that patch advantages are minimized that helps some
avatar7: yes, great point Gloree<grin>and I would encourage hosts to explore that more
Caretaker gloree: Kittie Kat does one where they have to pull a box out of a chest and then find the box with the right item inside and Mijage tells me he has some ideas
Michael (Avaterra): Maybe reversed ghost racing --- the 6th person that unghosts wins? OK, I know, I have a twisted mind -- but that would be fun to watch.
avatar7: Yea, Kittie one of the bests <grin> and that could be fun Michael <grin><grin>
Oracle Electra: this might make a good discussion for the events forum <grin>
Guinevere: a few things
Michael (Avaterra): Hello!
Oracle Electra: hi Guin
Guinevere: thanks for all the great new stuff, espically the blooooooooo stuff
Guinevere: about the racing - I have a top end machine and an ADSL line and I still can not beat the "trick" peeps just not fair or fun
Michael (Avaterra): Did you ever think of adopting a certain grey cat?
Caretaker gloree: any host you can recommend as an example Guin?
Michael (Avaterra): Yes, true -- I know how these patches work, and if they have a sufficiently fast machine, they will beat you at it.
Caretaker gloree: who seems to beat the patches?
Guinevere: can we get a new turf since the beach turfs have been moved back???
Michael (Avaterra): I think Electra was considering a turf.<grin>
Oracle Electra: will see if I can come up with something for July <grin> maybe a special PINK one for Dae? <G>
Caretaker gloree: <grin>
Guinevere: and can I PLEASE get some help with this body???? soooooo tired of this it was fixed in beta, but not in 3.0
Michael (Avaterra): It's somewhere on the art dept's ToDo list .... I can send a reminder. It was fixed in beta?
Caretaker gloree: it was fixed once but we lost it again
Michael (Avaterra): yes, but was it fixed in the recent beta? Oh good, we have the corrected files then -- I'll see what I can do.
Caretaker gloree: didn't use it in the recent beta
Guinevere: I am tired of looking like I am giving birth
Caretaker gloree: fern dance is pretty obscene too
Michael (Avaterra): as long as it's just that. <grin> I will see where these files are.
Guinevere: oh and can we get custom head paints???
Michael (Avaterra): thanks <grin><bow> Yes. soon. stay tuned. <grin>
Guinevere: great<jump>
Laura 57: Wow. My first summon. Cool
Laura 57: Hi everyone. My question was answered so I will just comment. I think the work you are doing is great, keep it up. Also, I speak on behalf of most everyone when I say how glad I am to have such wonderful people such as Ms. Luvsparks here in this place. Hugggs hon. That is all I have to say,
Lazzy: will we be able to ever buy a marvin out of the vendos Please say yes and how do i fix grapics for the gameboards as i dont see them right i see chess and checkers at same time hehehe
Michael (Avaterra): No, Marvin's animation is too complex to release him in a vendo.. if there's six people with alive Marvins in a locale, people with slower machines will bite the dust... Hmm.. you will probably have to reload the graphics, then.
Lazzy: why cant u put him in the turf just make it where he cant leave turf
Caretaker gloree: a turf that comes with a marvin?
Lazzy: how do i do that as i dont want to have to delete all of vzones?
Caretaker gloree: lol
Michael (Avaterra): then we have "free my Marvin" protests... <g>
Acolyte Kashmir: Lazzy, delete just the wres files not the entire program then reinstall the software
Lazzy: u dont pawn him he is to cute to pawn
Michael (Avaterra): There's a folder called WSRES... inside of this are two files called dreamsca.* ...
Michael (Avaterra): delete these two... but log out before. <grin>
Acolyte Kashmir: maybe....marvin and hermes stew
Lazzy: ok thanks mike and good job on the changes <jump>
Caretaker gloree: sheeeeeeesh, next you will be after toucan dan and the dino
Oracle Electra: Magik Knite is back <grin>
Michael (Avaterra): You're welcome -- we are glad you are having fun <bow><grin>
Magik Knite: Hello goodevening and welcome.
Magik Knite: A hug for the Ladies and a beer for the men<grin>
Magik Knite: 1. I love all the new stuff we got.
Magik Knite: 2. can we create a local that doesnt allow patches for ghost racing
Magik Knite: 3. Is it possible that the muscular mail bodies could have shorts instead of pants. The weather is heating up and we are all hot and sweaty lol. or how about new ones
Acolyte Kashmir: thanks for sharing
Michael (Avaterra): -- patches modify the files on the user's end, we can't control this. No, the existing bodies can't be changed... unfortunately. I would not have brown shoes, if we could do that easily.. or at all. <grin>
Michael (Avaterra): Bodies are a lot of work... Virtual Planet published an article written by Sheryl Knowls, the former art director. She explained how artwork is created and how long it takes.
Magik Knite: Im willing to wait. im not going to leave here so I have plenty of time to kill<grin>
Michael (Avaterra): a new body (just one) can take up three months, *if* the artists have the time, and *if* we have an "animator" on staff (which we currently don't). I'd like some new bodies too... animal bodies especially, for Dreamscape, but we won't see any of this very soon.
Ðing Ðõng ®: huggs all around<jump><react>
Oracle Electra: thanks <grin>
Caretaker gloree: hi<wave>
Acolyte Kashmir: huggss
Oracle Electra: huuggss
Michael (Avaterra): England has 1 .... Germany has, um, a whooping 0.
Caretaker gloree: another cat winner
Michael (Avaterra): yes, it's soccer.
Michael (Avaterra): Hello!
Ðing Ðõng ®: Thanks for all the great new stuff<grin> we all really appreciate your work<jump><react>
Michael (Avaterra): thank you. <grin>
Scribe: Hello! First time I'm meeting you four, unless I've met your alts and don't know it. <BG> I love the changes and additions and think they are well done! ANyway, you've answered a lot of questions already, so... I just want to say thanks to everyone whose helped me out... and thanks for all the nice new stuff, even these bods, bosoms or no
Michael (Avaterra): Thank you again. <grin>
Oracle Electra: thank you <grin>
Orion: Hi all <waves> Just a couple of quick questions - Is it possible to produce a quick webpage with the co-ordinates for pieces in the chess room?
Michael (Avaterra):If someone wants to do this, we will gladly, add the picture to the HG page. and give credit ...
Caretaker gloree: Do you not have click and drag moving?
Oracle Electra: hold down shift then click and drag
Orion: Ahhhhh...doh<grin>
Orion: Secondly, and this might cout controversy... But what are the implications for Golden Knights with the (re)introduction of Hermes?
Acolyte Kashmir: to help me stew him
Caretaker gloree: is there a connection between the golden knights and hermes?
Oracle Electra: how does Hermes impact the GK's?
Michael (Avaterra): <thanks for asking>
Orion: Well, I thought the GKs were to help people into Kymer, but Hermes now seems to do this<shrug>
Oracle Electra: newbies can use all the help they can get and Hermes just gives the very first basics
Caretaker gloree: GKs help newbies once they get here
Michael (Avaterra): ah, Hermes only provides some general help, so that new arrivals have some basic knowledge before they enter the actual world.
Oracle Electra: I really don't see that he negates the good work done by either the GK's or others that help newbies <grin>
Michael (Avaterra): But there is so much human helpers can do ... that Hermes can't do.
Oracle Electra: and he can't do one very important thing he can't answer questions <grin>
Nia-Golden Knight: <grin><grin> well I waited all last wekk and now Imm down Do you realise Micheal that you have caused many cases of anerexia in this world with us fuler figure ladies I have too stand like thgis hosting when a chest is the prize
Oracle Electra: hopefully Michael can get that fixed soon <grin>
Nia-Golden Knight: great that was my main concern thankyou very much for hG in the Chess local would it be possible for the moves to be registered on both screens now only your own move is scrolled so you have too watch carefully for other players move
Caretaker gloree: do you not see the piece until it is replaced?
Acolyte Kashmir: ghosties say it would be good in checkers too
Nia-Golden Knight: it would be so helful if both players moves came on both sreens, like if you unlock a chest or box everyone knows couldnt the moves be like that LOVE the Games Though
Michael (Avaterra): The technology doesn't support it -- unfortunately.
JR311: I just would like to request something that would make our turfs more fun. I don't want to speak for anybody who's opinions differ, but I know noone is gonna dissagree with me when I say, We need Refridgerators (to put our food)..... ...stoves(for our turkeys), microwaves, pretty much a fully functional Kitchen! <grin><grin>
Michael (Avaterra): We were thinking about releasing "kitchen artwork", but don't quite know how many of you folks would be interested in such items. Cabinets... and such. Good point about kitchen artwork being more appropriate for VZc, ghosties. well, we'll keep pondering on it.
Acolyte Kashmir: I've built a kitchen before, cabinets and all
JR311: Showers would be easier then bathtubs, because of the NON laying down ability.
Solarwyn: would it b possible dat esp text could b colored so when I hunting i know i gets an esp ? tanks fur everything yall doing here
Michael (Avaterra): we suggested this a few times already, but so far it has not been considered by the programmers. I'd prefer a solution that allows everyone to change the colour of ESP messages individually.
GentleHeart: 1) The Global problems....Global has been nothing but a PITA from day one. I've sent in a few hundred tracerts all concerning Global...........
GentleHeart: tracing back to the switchover. Is Avaterra gonna stick from this company? Or is there no choice in this instance?
GentleHeart: 2) Is there anything going to be done with the public parkers? For instance, how about a parking lot for the CT's or Aco's to send the parkers to?
GentleHeart: 3) I'm seeing much better communication between Avaterra and the citizens here. Its appreciated much more than can be expressed and I for one, thank you kindly for your time each week.
Michael (Avaterra): Parking ... Acolytes will force ghost parkers if someone sends a page about a parker. Acolytes can't send (teleport) avatars, so a parking lot isn't an option.
GentleHeart: my dream is shattered
Michael (Avaterra): Only Caretakers can do that ... and they can't cover 24/7. I kind of like the idea, but then we might have people that park because they want to see what getting teleported is like. I wouldn't support it, but maybe can make a web page with names of parkers on it? <g> a Hall of Fame..
Michael (Avaterra): OK, Global.. pain in the rear. Let me look up an email I got on this topic. Okay, tech dept basically says that there is notging we can do, and that they stopped calling Global as there is no serious action being taken on Global's end. so, yes, even though I don't know about specific plans, I would say that we will have to look for a different ISP. It depends on your own ISP, yes. One of mine goes thru global, the other one doesn't (only the last two "hops").
Michael (Avaterra): Keep sending those traceroutes... they do help. It shows those in charge for the technical areas that there are problems, and that the members aren't pleased.
GentleHeart: DD, ya espin the wrong avi duh <shrug>
GentleHeart: I understand <grin> Ok, and thanks for the communication It has helped alot of us............
MrsShark CGK: First i would like to say thank you for the Dragon* heads and all the new items. specially the dragon heads <EG> I would certainly host my one game there if i had a way to. Beat the odds needs Numbers and Dice. Is it possible to have a room set up this way? Second I like the HG its very nice however I was wondering if the games there will conflict with regular hosted weekly games?
Oracle Electra: regular games can be scheduled there <grin>
MrsShark CGK: I would certainly host my one game there if i had a way to. Beat the odds needs Numbers and Dice. Is it possible to have a room set up this way?
Michael (Avaterra): We'd rather not add more rooms right now... but we'll re-think this in about a month.
MrsShark CGK: there are many who do Lucky numbers that would use it too i am sure well we can use the garden if possibly they can put numbers over head we tried to put numbers over dice but dice are so close to the edge it can't be done right now i place numbers every week in the locale one left of vmart good suggestions from ghosties will try if not i will keep it outside <shrug>
Oracle Electra: I'll take a look and see if I can make it look okay with the numbers, no promises, let me know how many you need -- we'd like the locales to be versatile so many game can be played there
MrsShark CGK: 1 thru 6
Oracle Electra: K <grin>
MrsShark CGK: also would like to comment on a previous comment about the GK
MrsShark CGK: If your saying that there is no need for the GK now with hermes, i am wondering how Hermes will take newbies out and GIVE THEM new heads Paints and chest and toys to welcome them to the world
MrsShark CGK: I in the last week have had my fill of GK bashing when we had Nothing to do with a certain event that took place from both avatars and acos sorry to say. Our group works hard to help in this world<shrug> we have some of the most dedicated ppl working our centers and our auctions to keep not only newbies but those who have lost items or came back with nothing
Acolyte Kashmir: he can take them to BBQ pit
Oracle Electra: we never said Hermes would replace inworld help of any kind <grin>
Caretaker gloree: you all do a great job Mrs S
MrsShark CGK: well i would like please to stop hearing us being bashed for no reason. Ihave saved text from conversations that have mentioned out loud Names of our group that had to do with the ridiculous selling of an item. fine Keeks2 whoever you are, I guess I don't have the same rights as others
Louise H2: Thankyou for Harliquin Games it is great
Michael (Avaterra): thanks <grin>
Louise H2: But can anyone advise me why I keep running out of rescourse when I am playing there
Oracle Electra: Are others having that problem?
Louise H2: I have plenty of Ram But it says not enough memory and crashes the puter
Oracle Electra: did you send in a tech report? I got two yeses. okay, give them all the specifics. that's 3 that have the same problem
Louise H2: I will its only been happenning today and thanks for the great games, when i can play without crashing they will be super I will live here
Petora Noesoses: Thanks for Harlequin Games. I think it is wonderfull. Are you considering any future board games. If so may I suggest Pachisi. If been playing that at Hoyle and though some may consider it a kids game actually, mostly adults play it there. It's an hilairiusly funny game<grin>
Petora Noesoses: Also would it be possible to set up a ladder compition for the board games. An URL added to the rooms with an email adress attached where people could send in results would be great<grin>
Petora Noesoses: Lastly would it be possible to get on screen prove of whom you have paid, like we have now onscreen prove from who have paid us. This would be very helpfull for roulette hosting.
Oracle Electra: I don't know if we have any other games planned but will be happy to suggest Pachisi <grin>
Petora Noesoses: Oh that would be kewl<grin>
Oracle Electra: talk to the event CT's about keeping game totals they are in charge of HG that's Caretaker Jess and Caretaker gloree
Caretaker gloree: gulp
Oracle Electra: discuss your ideas with them <grin> as for the paid to that would be a major code change. doesn't your host keep that info for you? I don't think it could be easily implemented, but we can put it on the wish list <grin>
Petora Noesoses: Yes but you have to click a button to say if you've paid so if you forget that suggested change would help
Oracle Electra: K, will suggest it <grin> but don't know if it's possible we can only try <grin>
Petora Noesoses: Thanks that would be great cause Roulette hosting can be hectic at times
Oracle Electra: yes, I've watched, you have my admiration for keeping it all straight <G>
Petora Noesoses: LOL thanks it's great fun too though<bow>
Schlabber: Can we have the promise that there will be no Duck Hunts anymore in the future?
Schlabber: I know that there havent been too many recently, but still...<sigh>
Schlabber: I mean.. see, after all.. I am a Duck, and I kinda love my life..
Schlabber: All this action, adventures and trouble is something for my brother, but I'm a quiet, little farmer duck.. nothing for me.
Schlabber: Well.. and.. after all, grin, thanks for the changes now, and the ones that are coming, me and my brother are very happy about it, although we are still waiting for the Anchovy tree for the vendos.
Schlabber: Oh.. and.. Electra... couldn't you summon one of the nice duck babes to my turf while you are already summoning anyway? <g>
Sly StarDust: I just want to say thank you for all of the additions. I especially like the Argo..and HG!!
Sly StarDust: My question is: Has it ever been considered to have Weekly Host Appreciation Gifts? AND the Medium Build Female body is fixed in VZConnections.
Michael (Avaterra): Thanks. <grin> as for the host appreciation prizes .. (weekly?!) ... this is mainly up for the CTs.
Michael (Avaterra): Oh, I see. <grin>
Oracle Electra: something for the hosts, not a weekly gift?
Sly StarDust: Like host hats
