[07:19]Β  .. but she hardly ever turns up
[07:19]Β  How long should we leave it before we remove her?

Tanoujin Milestone
[07:20]Β  I think we cant without impeachment
[07:20]Β  and i would refrain from that

Ranma Tardis
[07:20]Β  she never swore in

Shep Titian
[07:20]Β  That is true Ran

[07:21]Β  Could you please Lil .. we need all five us active

Lilith Ivory
[07:21] Lilith Ivory nods

Shep Titian
[07:21]Β  Thank you

Tanoujin Milestone
[07:21]Β  people, if we remove her, we need a 5th member or we are done πŸ˜€

Lilith Ivory
[07:21]Β  give me a few days to search old laws and procedures as I donΒ΄t think we had a case like this lately
[07:21]Β  in this case we needed a bielection again

Shep Titian
[07:22]Β  We would have to ask for a by-election

Lilith Ivory

Nolligan Nino
[07:28]Β  ah ok – I’m still a noob at this

Shep Titian
[07:28]Β  Yes Brava from me ..
[07:28]Β  Yes I know

Tanoujin Milestone
[07:28]Β  Nevertheless we can shift something on the agenda unanimously, if I remember right
[07:29]Β  Was this a theoretical question, Nolligan?

Shep Titian
[07:30]Β  Tan want to take this seat?

Tanoujin Milestone
[07:30]Β  i apologize

[07:31]Β  I sdpoke to Tor yesterday about this
[07:31]Β  one sec Ran
[07:32]Β  And he is in favour of said committee .. in fact he wants lead by by an RA member
[07:32]Β  Ok Ran

Ranma Tardis
[07:33]Β  am confused what is the purpose of this committee
[07:33]Β  ?

Tanoujin Milestone
[07:33] Tanoujin Milestone raises hand to offer an answer

Shep Titian
[07:34]Β  To evaluate the various sites .. plus look at the construction of a new amphitheatre
[07:34]Β  Tan?

Ranma Tardis
[07:34]Β  do the decisions mean anything?

Tanoujin Milestone
[07:34]Β  I summarized the discussion here: http://forums.slcds.info/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=4043
[07:34]Β  it is about designating fair grounds to have off covenant events
[07:35]Β  we discussed that at the end of the last term

Lilith Ivory
[07:35] Lilith Ivory raises her hand

Shep Titian
[07:35]Β  Well the committee answers to RA … so e need a volunteer to chair it and then we vote on its findings
[07:35]Β  Lil

Lilith Ivory
[07:36]Β  shouldnΒ΄t the construction of a new amphitheatre be something the artisan guild takes care about? and didnΒ΄t they get that job already?

Shep Titian
[07:37]Β  Not what Tor said

Tanoujin Milestone
[07:37]Β  hear, hear

Ranma Tardis
[07:37]Β  raises hand

Shep Titian
[07:37]Β  Don’t forget the guild are an NGO
[07:37]Β  Ran?

Ranma Tardis
[07:38]Β  lets rephrase this will the committee be able to approve or just recommend?

Shep Titian
[07:39]Β  Recommend to us ..

Tanoujin Milestone
[07:39]Β  may I?
[07:40] Tanoujin Milestone raises hand

Shep Titian
[07:40]Β  And yes Tan I know about the forum thread .. however as per uisual a lot of woprds were spoken and nothing happerned
[07:40]Β  Tan

Tanoujin Milestone
[07:40]Β  it is just for information

Ranma Tardis
[07:40]Β  raises hand

Tanoujin Milestone
[07:40]Β  the thread
[07:41]Β  okay, i would volunteer to chair such a commission with the condition we focus on the fair ground topic

Shep Titian
[07:41]Β  Yes .. this is if you like the continuation
[07:41]Β  Ok thats good

Fern Leissa
[07:41] Fern Leissa raises hand

Shep Titian
[07:41]Β  Fern?

Lilith Ivory
[07:41]Β  Hi Sudane

Tanoujin Milestone
[07:41]Β  the Theatre topic needs much work, it could block the decision about the fair grounds

Sudane Erato
[07:41]Β  hi

Tanoujin Milestone
[07:41]Β  done.

Shep Titian
[07:41]Β  Hi Sudane

Fern Leissa
[07:41]Β  If I may make a citizens comment…

Tanoujin Milestone
[07:41]Β  Hi Sudane

Shep Titian
[07:42]Β  Please do Fern

Fern Leissa
[07:42]Β  I think that a permanent fairground is not necessarily a good thing and would like to see this type of thing discussed as the need arrises
[07:43]Β  it seems like this was generagted out of a misunderstanding btw several citizens. I do not feel the ra should legislate all misunderstandings
[07:43]Β  done
[07:43]Β  ty

Tanoujin Milestone
[07:43]Β  (very good point, fern)

Ranma Tardis
[07:43] Shep Titian
[07:43]Β  The fairground will simply be the designate space for certain events
[07:44]Β  To avoid the situation that arose ovr a couple of events
[07:45]Β  There are absolutely NO plans for any permanent structures on it/them
[07:46]Β  Ok then since Tan volunteers to chair the committee and report to us .. I think thats all we need for now .. Tan do you need any recruiting?

Tanoujin Milestone
[07:47]Β  Volunteer all persons present here

Sudane Erato
[07:47]Β  hehe

Tanoujin Milestone
[07:47]Β  I will call for meetings and discussion

Shep Titian
[07:47]Β  Anyone want to join the committee?
[07:48]Β  I would imagine Bags might be interested

Tanoujin Milestone
[07:48]Β  knok, knock, Hi its me, Tan, I want to talk about the fair — slam
[07:48]Β  yes, I will ask bags

Nolligan Nino
[07:48] Nolligan Nino has other commitments

Shep Titian
[07:48]Β  Can’t speak for her of course
[07:49]Β  hehehe Silence is deafening eh πŸ˜€
[07:50]Β  Tan what shall we call your committee?

Tanoujin Milestone
[07:50]Β  that is bc the negotiations need to be secret _D

Shep Titian
[07:50]Β  Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh

Tanoujin Milestone
[07:50]Β  I will do my best. Lets go on?

Shep Titian
[07:50]Β  Feels things crawl out of woodwork

Tanoujin Milestone
[07:50]

Shep Titian
[07:51]Β  WEll just call it The Fairground Committee

Tanoujin Milestone
[07:51]Β  yes, Madam

Shep Titian
[07:51]Β  ok moving on .. Noli you wish to bring something up?

Nolligan Nino
[07:52]Β  if it’s ok

Shep Titian
[07:52]Β  You have the floor

Nolligan Nino
[07:53]Β  I am of the opinion that the finances of CDs need a careful examination. as the last set of accounts show an ongoing deficit – which iMHO is very serious
[07:55]Β  I would like to propose a consultation exercise to see what solutions we can gather form the c itizens and our friends

Tanoujin Milestone
[07:55] Tanoujin Milestone raises hand

Shep Titian
[07:55]Β  Tan

Tanoujin Milestone
[07:56]Β  I see the Treasurer is attending – let us ask her how serious the deficit is
[07:56]Β  Sudane, would you drop us a line?

Shep Titian
[07:57]Β  Sudane .. would you be prepared to give us some words?

Sudane Erato
[07:57]Β  sure…. but i’m not sure i understand the context of the question
[07:57]Β  are we discussing the budget?

Shep Titian
[07:58]Β  Yes .. Noli is concerned that we are running in defecit

Sudane Erato
[07:58]Β  ahh… ok
[07:58]Β  well, yes we are… a small one
[07:58]Β  there are 2 issues
[07:59]Β  one is that we need to try to sell more land
[07:59]Β  thus the conversation about LA
[07:59]Β  and the second is that a few terms ago, we drastically lowered tier
[07:59]Β  and i think perhaps we should slightly raise it again
[08:00]Β  keep in mind that the deficit is small

Ranma Tardis
[08:00]Β  raises hand

Sudane Erato
[08:00]Β  and that we have large reserves… so we are in no danger
[08:00]Β  but

Shep Titian
[08:00]Β  After Sudane Ran

Sudane Erato
[08:00]Β  we should correct the situation while it is still comfortable to do so
[08:00]Β  done

Shep Titian
[08:01]Β  Thank you Sudane
[08:01]Β  Ran

Ranma Tardis
[08:01]Β  Sudane how would you correct the situation?

Sudane Erato
[08:01]Β  by dealing with those 2 issues

Tanoujin Milestone
[08:02] Tanoujin Milestone raises hand

Sudane Erato
[08:02]Β  take steps to sell more land
[08:02]Β  and raise the tier

Shep Titian
[08:02]Β  Tan

Ranma Tardis
[08:02]Β  I mean should we raise rates and adjust them each term?

Shep Titian
[08:02]Β  Micro manage?

Sudane Erato
[08:03]Β  Ranma, i think not

Tanoujin Milestone
[08:03]Β  I think we should take the tier raise on the agenda for the next meeting and ask whether 6% is enough to improve the situation

Shep Titian
[08:03]Β  No .. could get messy

Ranma Tardis
[08:03]Β  no in the Corps of Engineers rates are adjusted as needed

Fern Leissa
[08:03]Β  me/raises hand
[08:03]

Shep Titian
[08:04]Β  ooooooooh whispered

Tanoujin Milestone
[08:04]

Fern Leissa
[08:05] Fern Leissa raises hand … really

Sudane Erato
[08:05]

Shep Titian
[08:06]Β  Fern I called you

Fern Leissa
[08:06]Β  Sorry Shep

Shep Titian
[08:06]Β  nps

Fern Leissa
[08:06]Β  I believe I was on the ra when we voted to lower tier
[08:07]Β  The idea behind doing so was to try to get more citizens to join us. We were worried about LA (if you can believe that ^^)
[08:07]Β  But… frankly I think I’d say it hasn’t worked

Sudane Erato
[08:07]Β  hehe

Shep Titian
[08:07]Β  Ok well I will add this to next meeting’s agenda

Fern Leissa
[08:07]Β  However in the meantime… I think is see some citizens have bought/are supporting more land

Nolligan Nino
[08:07] Nolligan Nino raises hand

Fern Leissa
[08:08]Β  And they may be doing so because it it cheaper… so I’m not sure what the fix is
[08:08]Β  done

Shep Titian
[08:08]Β  Thanks Fern .. Noli

Ranma Tardis
[08:08]Β  raises hand

Nolligan Nino
[08:08]Β  Firstly – many thanks to Sudane for addressing my concerns I now know that.the deficit is small and is partly due to a lowering of tier.
[08:08]Β  personally- I would still like to see how we can achieve the desired result of selling more land and increasing traffic.
[08:08]Β  So I would like to initiate a consultation exercise – and attempt to get people involved.
[08:09]Β  I may be a missed guided fool doomed to failure – but I’d still like to try…
[08:09]Β  done

Sudane Erato
[08:09]Β  raise hand

Tanoujin Milestone
[08:09] Tanoujin Milestone notes we have another volunteer

Shep Titian
[08:09]Β  Sudane

Sudane Erato
[08:10]Β  i think Ranma was before me?

Shep Titian
[08:10] )))
[08:10]Β  Oh sorry
[08:10]Β  Ran?

Ranma Tardis
[08:10]Β  taps fingers

Shep Titian
[08:10]Β  Slaps fingers

Ranma Tardis
[08:10]Β  you understand I was not finished talking several times
[08:11]Β  the way we do things breaks up the free exchange of infomation, takes more time

Shep Titian
[08:11]Β  I apologise … I wish people would use the typing or hand waving AOs so you know if more is coming

Ranma Tardis
[08:12]Β  it makes these meetings more painful than the ones at work

Sudane Erato
[08:12]Β  Shep, you might consider requiring that

Ranma Tardis
[08:12]Β  if I could figure out how to use it on the new viewer

Shep Titian
[08:12]Β  Ok we’ll talk later

Tanoujin Milestone
[08:13]Β  I did not get that, Ranma, I hope you will explain? Later, maybe?

Shep Titian
[08:13]Β  Yes I know a lot don’t like them .. but just for meetings would

Ranma Tardis
[08:13]Β  no, the RA members are being silenced during the meetings

Sudane Erato
[08:13]Β  pfft

Shep Titian
[08:14]Β  Rubbish

Ranma Tardis
[08:14]Β  might as well be a non member
[08:14]Β  you interupted me 3 times

Shep Titian
[08:14]Β  Ok .. how would you do it?

Ranma Tardis
[08:15]Β  a more free flow, we are typing not talking

Shep Titian
[08:15]Β  What do you mean free flow? everyone at once?

Ranma Tardis
[08:15]Β  the ra members should be able to talk without such a control and no
[08:16]Β  we have taken an hour and a quarter and have done almost nothing
[08:16]Β  mostly waiting

Shep Titian
[08:16]Β  And what should we have done?

Ranma Tardis
[08:17]Β  if we have to maybe give out so much time for an ra member to speak like the us congress

Shep Titian
[08:17]Β  We gave official thanks for the Schloss

Ranma Tardis
[08:17]Β  roberts rules of order

Shep Titian
[08:18]Β  We arranged a committee to research the fairgrounds
[08:18]Β  We had a few words from Sudanme in responce to Noli’s concers

Ranma Tardis
[08:18]Β  they will talk and someone else will make a motion and it will be for nothing
[08:19]Β  but it is their time

Shep Titian
[08:19]Β  Ok Ran .. I’ll hand the next meeting over to you

Ranma Tardis
[08:19]Β  how about giving each member a few minutes of uninterupted time
[08:19]Β  sure thing

Shep Titian
[08:19]Β  You do the agenda .. don’t forget the notice and the forum notice

Ranma Tardis
[08:20]Β  nods

Shep Titian
[08:21]Β  I want you to tell me what should jhave been achieved today that was’nt

Ranma Tardis
[08:22]Β  am all ears

Shep Titian
[08:23]Β  No Ranma YOU tell ME

Tanoujin Milestone
[08:23]Β  excuse me, i lost track… do we approve Nolligan’s consultation and involvement exercise?

Shep Titian
[08:23]Β  Yes I do

Tanoujin Milestone

Ranma Tardis

Shep Titian
[08:24]Β  I’m waiting for Ran

Tanoujin Milestone
[08:24]Β  ah! Okay

Ranma Tardis
[08:24]Β  i lose my train of thought easily one of the gifts of the war
[08:25]Β  we do need to make things more streamlined and actually do something about the budget which reminds me needs to be done

July 6 2013 – RA Transcript
οΏΌby Bagheera Β» Fri Jul 12, 2013 10:36 am
Shep Titian [07:05] Ok the agenda is in the box on the table .. please take a copy and we will begin
[07:05] May I say its lovely to see so many here

Tor Karlsvalt [07:05] Forgive me if I get a bit distracted. Just give me a hard nudge if I ignore you. I am running SL in a window so I can work on a statement.
[07:05] yes

Shep Titian [07:06] ok everyone has permission to poke Tor

Tanoujin Milestone [07:06] hehe

Rosie Gray [07:06] Rosie Gray tests out a POKE! on Tor

Shep Titian [07:06] cCalling this meeting to order

Tor Karlsvalt [07:06] haha

Shep Titian [07:07] RA have you read the agenda and approve its contents .. please say aye or nay

Ranma Tardis [07:07] aye

Moonrise Azalee [07:07] aye

Nolligan Nino [07:08] aye

Tanoujin Milestone [07:08] aye

Shep Titian [07:08] aye
[07:08] good moving on
[07:08] Nolligan I believe you want to speak on the LA issue?

Nolligan Nino [07:09] I will do when asked…

Shep Titian [07:09] Thanks .. Tan will you speak on the Fairground committee?

Tanoujin Milestone [07:09] yes, sbortly
[07:10] shortly

Shep Titian [07:10] Good and Tor will you be giving us a statement?
[07:12] I’ll rephrase that Tor I hope you will have an executive statement

Tanoujin Milestone [07:12] me pokes tor

Tor Karlsvalt [07:12] sorry yes

Nolligan Nino [07:12] Nolligan Nino reaches for cattle prod…

Tor Karlsvalt [07:12] I will

Shep Titian [07:12] Ok he’ll catch up
[07:12] Ah good
[07:13] ok .. Citizens concerns .. please only things not covered by the rest of the agenda

Callipygian Christensen [07:13] Callipygian Christensen raises her hand

Pip Torok [07:13] i have one tho not a concern

Shep Titian [07:14] Ok no hands waving

Tor Karlsvalt [07:14] sure

Shep Titian [07:14] Same again for RA .. any concerns?

Callipygian Christensen [07:14] Callipygian Christensen coughs and waves

Ranma Tardis [07:14] raises hand

Pip Torok [07:14] i have one

Nolligan Nino [07:14] yes – I have one

Shep Titian [07:14] Sorry Calli
[07:15] missed you there .. please what did you want to say?

Callipygian Christensen [07:15] Thank you. Last RA meeting there was discussion by those members present of removing or replacing a RA member.
Because it was discussed at that previous meeting and is present in the transcript of that meeting, I think it is important that this transcript also contain the following observations, so that anyone reviewing transcripts for information will see it..
[07:15] Barring impeachment for actions seriously damaging CDS or wilfully contravening the Constitution etc. , (as Tanoujin mentioned) there is no process for the RA to remove one of its own members, sworn in or not. To allow for such a thing would leave the constant possibility of RA members at risk of removal to block dissent. The only mechanism for removal of a RA member who is felt to not be doing their job well enough is failure to reelect them by the citizens of CDS.
[07:16] Done.

Ranma Tardis [07:16] claps

Tanoujin Milestone [07:16] great, thank you Calli

Pip Torok [07:16] applause

Shep Titian [07:18] Ok thank you for that clarification .. does that also apply if the person did’nt show up ever? .. not directing that at the lovely Birch who made a superhuman effort for us today

Moonrise Azalee [07:18] Moonrise Azalee laughs

Callipygian Christensen [07:18] Yes, it probably does

Widget Whiteberry [07:18] Widget Whiteberry wonders if that statement is from the formal docs of CDS
[07:19] seems very clear and well constructed

Shep Titian [07:19] Ok .. so what would the SC advise if RA were not able to be quorate because of such a situation?

Callipygian Christensen [07:19] No, i’t s just my interpretation of what is and isn’t stated in the documents

Pip Torok [07:20] Pip Torok wd be happier if the absence were quantified … for example more than 1 meeting in 3

Callipygian Christensen [07:21] It isn’t for the SC to advise on such a case – to not be quorate it would require 3 members to never attend or cast a 7 day voteort

Tanoujin Milestone [07:21] hear, hear. Maybe we need apiece of legislation

Callipygian Christensen [07:21] RA can function with only 3 active members

Shep Titian [07:21] Yes
[07:22] But Tan it might be worth exploring certainly

Tanoujin Milestone [07:22] nods

Shep Titian [07:23] Ok Pip did you have a comment?
[07:23] Or rather a concern

Callipygian Christensen [07:23] Callipygian Christensen raises her hand for a brief addendum

Pip Torok [07:24] yes … just to say there will shortly open new wine cellar … a rival to the present one at the northwest corner of the marktplatz .. you are all welcome of course done

Shep Titian [07:24] Well yes Calli .. if Pip is typing hes after
[07:24] Looks forward to new business

Moonrise Azalee [07:25] Moonrise Azalee grins.. Yay, wine!

Callipygian Christensen [07:25] Just to clarify, I, nor any other member of the SC can answer the ‘what would the SC …’ because it is a voting body – each of us can only give our personal opinion and view

Shep Titian [07:25] Ok thank you Calli
[07:26] oop lost Tan

Tor Karlsvalt [07:28] Tor Karlsvalt looks forward to pips wine cellar.

Shep Titian [07:28] Moving on … but we need Tan

Rosie Gray [07:28] Rosie Gray looks forward to the wine cellar too

Pip Torok [07:28] correction Tor .. its mothercard warden’s

Rosie Gray [07:29] oh Mothercard’s

Tor Karlsvalt [07:29]

Pip Torok [07:29] (she asked me to announce it)

Lilith Ivory [07:29] (placing Tan again)

Pip Torok [07:29] wb tan

Tanoujin Milestone [07:29] phew, sorry

Shep Titian [07:29] Ok we’ll skip Tan’s report for now
[07:29] Ah there

Tanoujin Milestone [07:30] sorry, crash

Shep Titian [07:30] Tan are you able to report on the Fairground Committee?

Tanoujin Milestone [07:30] i see, quick one I apologize, did not get very far

Shep Titian [07:30] WB

Tanoujin Milestone [07:31] i interviewed the chancellor and want to invite Bags to join me in this – next time more on this
[07:31] done

Shep Titian [07:31] Ok well thanks for making a start

Tanoujin Milestone [07:32] thanks for ypur patience

Shep Titian [07:32] New business .. I would like a small update on procedure
[07:33] there is a sidenote on the agenda .. asking people to say Done clearly when finished on a subject .. I know some of you already do

Pip Torok [07:33] welcome Bromo

Shep Titian [07:33] And thank you

Bromo Ivory [07:34]

Rosie Gray [07:34] hello Bromo

Moonrise Azalee [07:34] Hi Bromo

Fern Leissa [07:34] Hi Bromo

Tor Karlsvalt [07:34] Hi Bromo

Bromo Ivory [07:34] HI all

Tanoujin Milestone [07:34] Bromo

Shep Titian [07:34] And it would if people were prepared to use the typing (or arm waving ) anim

Moonrise Azalee [07:35] Moonrise Azalee nods..

Shep Titian [07:35] Just please make it as clear as possible that you are speaking and have finished

Callipygian Christensen [07:35] Friestorm has a preference to show that someone is typing in a chat bubble above their head also

Tanoujin Milestone [07:36] I support Shep’s suggestion on procedures

Moonrise Azalee [07:36] that might be even easier.. i know my typing anim is also set in AO and one over rides the other

Pip Torok [07:36] thanks calli those with fs appreciate knowing this

Shep Titian [07:36] I don’t like shopwing weakness but I’m a single digit typer and so do miss the odd comment by lookingh at my keybnoard

Tor Karlsvalt [07:36] Tor Karlsvalt probably a good idea, but rummages around in prefs looking for that setting.

Moonrise Azalee [07:37] Text Chat i believe
[07:37] in Cool VL viewer and imp anyhow

Pip Torok [07:37] Pip Torok thinks itll level the playingfield between fluent typers and the rest

Shep Titian [07:37] trlp .. chat .. second line Tor

Rosie Gray [07:37] FS ->chat ->general tab

Tor Karlsvalt [07:38]

Shep Titian [07:38] that was CTRL p

Callipygian Christensen [07:38] typing indicator in bubbles is the last on that same tab

Widget Whiteberry [07:38] tests …

Moonrise Azalee [07:39] < ---finds this SO much easier Rosie Gray [07:39] trys out to see if it shows you are typing, but it doesn't until you hit return Shep Titian [07:39] just flap about and have patience Moonrise Azalee [07:39] Moonrise Azalee can see that pip is typing Shep Titian [07:40] Done on that Pip Torok [07:40] Birch .. Cool i know but what is imp? Moonrise Azalee [07:40] Moonrise Azalee grins [07:40] (imprudence) Pip Torok [07:40] ah!! tks Moonrise Azalee [07:40] Moonrise Azalee smiles Shep Titian [07:40] I can't .. how can you? Rosie Gray [07:40] I can't either Moonrise Azalee [07:40] activated Chat Bubbles [07:41] in chat -show chat bubbles Widget Whiteberry [07:41] Widget Whiteberry notes you have to see the avies to see ... and that the bubble appears when text is entering Pip Torok [07:41] Pip Torok thinks a masterclass on viewers is called for especially now SSB is almost upon us Rosie Gray [07:41] I have that activated on Firestorm, but it doesn't work that way Widget Whiteberry [07:41] not while typng [07:41] typing Rosie Gray [07:41] Rosie Gray nods Shep Titian [07:41] Ok what does that do? Moonrise Azalee [07:42] while typing i see a bubble above the avies head with ... being entered until they hit enter Widget Whiteberry [07:42] could rez a golden ball on her lap as indicator Rosie Gray [07:42] I don't see that Shep Titian [07:42] Yes And I saw Rosie's Tanoujin Milestone [07:42] smiles at Widget Moonrise Azalee [07:42] You saw Rosie entering text?

Moonrise Azalee [07:43] Moonrise Azalee grins [07:43] i use Cool VL Shep Titian [07:43] Your name tag changes colour Widget Whiteberry [07:43] this is good in a crowd to see who has said something [07:43] not so useful here Moonrise Azalee [07:43] which viewer do you use Widget? Shep Titian [07:43] Now Calli Rosie Gray [07:44] Rosie Gray agrees with Widget Widget Whiteberry [07:44] newest FS Callipygian Christensen [07:44] I dont have chat bubbles activated..just that one setting. Panned out to see the whole room thier nae tag wiht dots appears when anyone is typing Widget Whiteberry [07:44] it was worth testing Moonrise Azalee [07:44] maybe it only doesnt work with fs then [07:44] Moonrise Azalee nods Widget Whiteberry [07:44] I can leave it ion if it s others Rosie Gray [07:45] I just use the old annoying typing gestures [07:45] Rosie Gray grins Shep Titian [07:45] Ok well if you can adopt it for meetings it would ..

Secret journal entries may only be deemed secret if they prevent the exploitation of the city and citizens from external threats." SO any vote like this is public. Lilith Ivory [07:58] congrats Noligan Pip Torok [07:58] congrats nolligan Shep Titian [07:58] CVongratulations Tor Karlsvalt [07:58] ?~~?~~APPLAUSE~~?~~? Tanoujin Milestone [07:58] nice Shep Titian [07:58] Thank You Calli .. [07:59] Sorry Ran .. I'll explain my vote .. Nolli is online a lot and is very keen at the moment οΏΌ [08:01] Ok .. moving on .. LA .. again .. Nolligan wanted to give his view on the issue [08:01] So I will yield the floor to Nooligan Nolligan Nino [08:02] Firstly I wanted tor raise a concern expressed to me by Em warden - she is experiencing problems opening notecards attached to group notices - a lack of permissions error Tor Karlsvalt [08:03] Hmm, I wonder if it is any of mine. Nolligan Nino [08:03] Moving to the agenda item number 3 Tor Karlsvalt [08:04] I will look her up and find out what the problem is. Moonrise Azalee [08:04] the last CDS one works fine for me Callipygian Christensen [08:04] That may be a lag or other issue on Em's end - I don't believe you can attach a notecard that isn't full perms, unless that has changed recently Nolligan Nino [08:04] (apologies I am experiencing packet loss and some of this may appear in the wrong order) [08:04] Locus Amoenus: This sim is not doing well, I am reliably informed that it has an occupancy rate of 49% This is neither desirable nor sustainable. [08:05] My honourable friend Tanoujin produced a report on it in Jan this year - I recommend reading it is candid and paints a bleak picture, and if anything matters have gotten worse since then. [08:06] 80% occupancy is required to break even. As far as I am aware there have been several attempts to relaunch it. [08:06] A number of citizens have spent substantial sums renovating and improving parcels in LA. We should thank Tan and Lillith (apologies if I have neglected to mention anyone) I also commend the efforts of all the residents of LA in trying to improve their sim. [08:06] However, multiple parcels remain empty and traffic is low. We have reached a moment where we can not afford to let matters drift. [08:07] I think that we have 4 principle options: [08:07] 1) Raise tier to cover the expense of LA and re-dedicate a large portion of the sim as a public space for events. [08:08] 2) Downgrade the sim to a homestead, hopefully this option would allow present residents there to keep their parcels. [08:08] 3) Get rid of the whole sim. Not my preferred option but may have to happen but in my opinion only after a plebiscite . [08:08] 4) McCawberism - carrying on and hoping that 'something will turn up' . This could be the Cedar Island initiative or a redesign. However, this could just be a case of 'kicking the can further down the road'. If something does not turn up we will be left with the same problem as now - but with a smaller cash pile. [08:09] I must stress that I do not favour 3) getting rid of the sim, but it has been raised by some citizens and needs to be considered as an option.
[08:09] What we need is a vigorous debate about the future of LA and more importantly a commitment to action.
[08:10] Now is the time to commence that debate.
[08:10] DONE

Shep Titian [08:10] Thank you Nolligan

Pip Torok [08:10] Pip Torok has one question:

Tor Karlsvalt [08:21] I think you are correct in your assessment. Alexia is the only citizen who is solely in LA. The rest of us have land elsewhere in CDS. I would not expect too much of an increase in ownership in ohter sims if LA were deleted.
[08:21] done

Shep Titian [08:21] Noted Lilith I’ll call you after Rosie

Bagheera Kristan [08:21] /raises hand

Shep Titian [08:21] Rosie first

Rosie Gray [08:21] thanks

Tanoujin Milestone [08:22] me raises hand

Shep Titian [08:22] Seen you Bags

Bagheera Kristan [08:22]

Shep Titian [08:22] After Bags Tan

Rosie Gray [08:22] I was wondering if anyone knows what the status of the discussions/proposal from the Cedar Island folks is
[08:22] and if there has been anything from Delia or Jon on that
[08:22] done

Shep Titian [08:23] Thanks .. nothing new from her .. OI spoke with her a few days ago and nothing forthcoming at that time
[08:23] Lilith?

Tor Karlsvalt [08:23] Tor Karlsvalt raises hand

Callipygian Christensen [08:24] Cedar is meeting right now

Lilith Ivory [08:24] I just wanted to mention that if we downgrate LA to a homestead the price per prim needs to go up as a homestead is always more expensive than a full Sim

Shep Titian [08:25] Ok thanks Lil
[08:25] Tan was next

Callipygian Christensen [08:25] Homestead also limits number of avatars allowed in doesnt it?
[08:25] ..didnt mean to hit enter..sorry

Shep Titian [08:26] it does Calli .. to 20

Tanoujin Milestone [08:26] In reply to Tor: I am maxed out at La solely, and I will move if it is off. done

Shep Titian [08:26] Thanks Tan

Ranma Tardis [08:26] raises hand

Shep Titian [08:26] Ranma?

Bagheera Kristan [08:26] /raises hand higher?

Fern Leissa [08:26] wb Tan

Tanoujin Milestone [08:26] sorry, crashed. I withdraw

Shep Titian [08:26] Oop sorry Bags

Tor Karlsvalt [08:27] Tor Karlsvalt would like to go after Bags

Shep Titian [08:27] Right noted Tor

Ranma Tardis [08:27] the problem with homestead is the size of the lots not the prims. Had a lot in monastary and it was unbuildable.

Tor Karlsvalt [08:27] Tor Karlsvalt means “speak” Go for speak is a Chicagoism.

Ranma Tardis [08:27] so it comes down to keeping the sim or not

Bagheera Kristan [08:28] speaking for myself, I prefer LA – although I own a larger parcel in CN, that was temporary and I had really wanted to move over to LA. I have a small apartment in LA now…
[08:28] I had also been wanting to hold events but was told to hold off until after Cedar Island was resolved.

Ranma Tardis [08:28] I think we need to give it more time and relax the overbearing convadents

Bagheera Kristan [08:28] with the intention to promote the sim. done. thank you.

Shep Titian [08:29] Who said that?

Ranma Tardis [08:29] in place

Bagheera Kristan [08:29] I forget

Tor Karlsvalt [08:29] Tor Karlsvalt raises hand

Shep Titian [08:29] Tor

Tor Karlsvalt [08:29] Thanks

Ranma Tardis [08:29] so I am against closing the sim or reducing it, done

Tor Karlsvalt [08:29] During the Ball, Jon mentioned that he would meet with Delia and others to work out some proposal. I lately asked Delia, but it seems both her and Jon have been very busy with work in RL these past few weeks.

Pip Torok [08:29] Pip Torok raises hand

Shep Titian [08:29] Thanks Ran

Tor Karlsvalt [08:29] Regardign some other concerns:
[08:30] Yes I agree homestaed prims are more expensive.

Shep Titian [08:30] Pip

Tor Karlsvalt [08:30] and a homestead allows only 20 AVs at one time. So not much good for events.
[08:30] done

Pip Torok [08:31] disagree that homestead la makes it “unbuildable .. ppl wd and do adapt done

Shep Titian [08:31] What events

Tor Karlsvalt [08:31] [08:31] We typically had many events in LA

Shep Titian [08:31] I have always lived on homesteads .. they’re great

Pip Torok [08:31] and other locales are available .. eg the oldbowk in am

Moonrise Azalee [08:32] Moonrise Azalee raises her hand

Pip Torok [08:32] oldbowl

Fern Leissa [08:32] Fern Leissa raises hand

Lilith Ivory [08:32] Lilith Ivory raises her hand

Shep Titian [08:32] Birch

Moonrise Azalee [08:32] Thank you… I was just going to say that I lived in Monastery, and did not find the prims an issue. Certainly not as difficult as say my 18 prim allowance in CN. Done

Shep Titian [08:33] thanks
[08:33] Fern

Ranma Tardis [08:33] raises hand

Shep Titian [08:33] Lilith after Fern then you Ran

Fern Leissa [08:34] I agree with Ranma. I do not yet want to see the sim shut down and I do to see a real advantage to convert it to a homestead

Tor Karlsvalt [08:34]

Shep Titian [08:34] Ok

[08:34] Bagheera Kristan is offline
[08:34] Lilith

Lilith Ivory [08:34] IΒ΄ve two comments

Fern Leissa [08:34] I would rather see an increase in tier across the sims it we cannot improve the vacancy rate by the end of the summmer

Rosie Gray [08:34] Rosie Gray raises hand

Lilith Ivory [08:35] firs the size of a parcel on a homestead can be designed how ever we want. It all depends on the prim factor

Fern Leissa [08:35] I would very much like to revisit some redesigning of the sim though I am very impressed with a lot of the builds that have gone up this past year. The sim looks very nice. done

Shep Titian [08:36] Thanks Fern

Lilith Ivory [08:36] second: I hate to say it but as far as I know we had problems with vacant land in LA from the beginning so I donΒ΄t know how long we should keep waiting for something to happen

Shep Titian [08:36] Good point .. we keep going there
[08:36] Ranm,a

Tor Karlsvalt [08:37] Tor Karlsvalt raises hand

Shep Titian [08:37] After Ran Tor

Widget Whiteberry [08:37] Widget Whiteberry raises hand

Rosie Gray [08:38] Rosie Gray waves hand around
[08:38] ahem

Ranma Tardis [08:38] Think the problem is with the covenants and think if we loosed up on the rp of medevil will fill the sim

Shep Titian [08:38] Widget after Tor

Rosie Gray [08:38] I was after Ranma, Shep

Ranma Tardis [08:38] saying that I motion to end discussion and vote

Shep Titian [08:38] Rosie have OI missed you?

Rosie Gray [08:39] yes maam
[08:39] can I speak?

Shep Titian [08:39] Thanks RAn .. no vote today
[08:39] Rosie

[08:39] Bagheera Kristan is online

Rosie Gray [08:39] I think that we should get an answer from Delia and Jon first before doing anything else,

Ranma Tardis [08:40] coughs I must go
[08:40] 7 day on any vote please

Rosie Gray [08:40] and I wanted to say I agree with Ranma about loosing up the covenants would

Tanoujin Milestone [08:40] , Ranma, see you soon

Widget Whiteberry [08:40] Widget Whiteberry waits for her turn

Moonrise Azalee [08:40] Ran

Ranma Tardis [08:40] RL calls

Shep Titian [08:40] Ah ok Ranma .. this won’t be voted on as Rosie says we need to see all the options

Callipygian Christensen [08:41] Callipygian Christensen raises her hand

[08:41] Bagheera Kristan is offline

Rosie Gray [08:41] and I also think that if all of these things don’t work, then a homestead would be a good idea
[08:41] done

Shep Titian [08:41] Ok is getting out of kilter Widget

Widget Whiteberry [08:41] my turn?

Shep Titian [08:42] It was after Tor but he seems to have stopped οΏΌ
[08:42] So go ahead

Tor Karlsvalt [08:42] I agree with Lilith. If you look at the history of LA, it has been beset with constant problems. It is also somewhat of a danger politically as it allows for “invasion”. I want to keep it nonetheless. But it needs a new focus. A new theme. Preferably one close to CN in character but more modern. The ancient theme just isn’t a draw. Even in hard times, other sims seem more attractive to new people.

Shep Titian [08:42] oop he had’nt

Rosie Gray [08:43] Rosie Gray agrees with Tor too

Moonrise Azalee [08:43] Moonrise Azalee nods in agreement with Tor’s words

Nolligan Nino [08:43] apologies for my absence – I had to tunnel through the great firewall to log in – and may disappear…

Rosie Gray [08:43] ?

Tanoujin Milestone [08:43] wb

Shep Titian [08:43] WB Nolli

Tor Karlsvalt [08:44] wb Nolli

Widget Whiteberry [08:44] hands Nolli a clean towel for the tunnel dust

Fern Leissa [08:44] hehe

Lilith Ivory [08:44] what Tor just said is the consent we had at the citizens meetings last term

Nolligan Nino [08:44] ?

Widget Whiteberry [08:45] Tor, are you done?

Tor Karlsvalt [08:45] Tor Karlsvalt wonders if the NSA is watching internet in China
[08:45] oh sorry syes

Widget Whiteberry [08:46] ok, me then?

Shep Titian [08:46] Good on ya Widget

Widget Whiteberry [08:46] smiles
[08:46] Before coming to CDS, I was the EM for a full sim. I was VERY attached to it, as attached as I might be to real land. Within my time constraints, I tried many ways to make it pay, but it wouldn’t. It was wrenching to leave it behind. But, once I settled in here, all that went away.
[08:46] The existing theme begs for rp ….. but I don’t think it’s the only problem.
[08:46] Having no attachment to LA and just listening to talk about it these past months, I’m in favor of closing LA and focusing our efforts on the remaining 4 sims.
[08:47] Finally, a question: if we do that, close LA, have we resolved the persistent money leak?
[08:47] DONE (and thank you)

Shep Titian [08:47] Thank you Widget

Tor Karlsvalt [08:47] Tor Karlsvalt raises hand

Nolligan Nino [08:47] Point of information: as I crashed I was answering a question about Cedar Island – there are having ameeting as we speak scheduled to start at 08:00 am . Delia told me this.

Tor Karlsvalt [08:48] ah

Rosie Gray [08:48] 8 am today?

Shep Titian [08:48] Thanks Nolli yes we had that info

Tor Karlsvalt [08:48] Tor Karlsvalt heartened my the good news.

Shep Titian [08:48] Calli its your time?
[08:50] Ok Calli is leaving shortly .. but for the record she has left this comment that I entirely agree with .: I suggest asking Cedar to give some reply by a certain date – its unresonable for CDS to keep waiting on a possibility that has only sen one person form there speak about it or show interest here.

Moonrise Azalee [08:50] Moonrise Azalee raises her hand

Widget Whiteberry [08:51] Widget Whiteberry raises her hand

Shep Titian [08:51] Birch

Moonrise Azalee [08:52] thank you.. just a question that perhaps Tor can answer.. i know LA is losing money, however how is it in the scale of all sims. With all five together, are we breaking even or on the hole. Is LA the factor behind that? Just looking for an overall understandign of LA as part of the whole. Done

Tor Karlsvalt [08:53] Can I respond to birch

Shep Titian [08:53] Yes Tor

Tor Karlsvalt [08:53] Thank you

Antonius Camus [08:53] [whispers] Hiya.

Lilith Ivory [08:54] Hi Tony

Tor Karlsvalt [08:56] OK, this is getting ahead of my statement, but I have a spreadsheet showing a proposed tier increase. It is inter active. I am allowing you all access to one copy so you can plug in tier rates. In response to Birch, however, no it does’t. CDS will still lose money without LA. Not as much, but some. Here is the link to the interactive sheet. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc … sp=sharing
[08:57] on the summary page, if you have the tier rate, you will see how differing rates affect the balance of payments of LL tier. I note, that there are expenses over and above tier.

Moonrise Azalee [08:57] Moonrise Azalee nods

Shep Titian [08:57] But iof the people now in LA move .. its likely they will buy parcel elsewhere

Tor Karlsvalt [08:57] Web hosting for one, but also, events.
[08:58] Possibly shep. Tho that is uncertain.
[08:59] I also need to update a few occupancy codes. We have had a couple of new people since I posted that sheet.
[08:59] done

Shep Titian [08:59] And if they did’nt I would say CDS has an even bigger question to answer

Tor Karlsvalt [08:59] Well, I am allowed only 8 parcels. Three of them are now in LA.

Moonrise Azalee [09:00] Moonrise Azalee had a moment trying to find summary page—tab on bottom.. genius

Tor Karlsvalt [09:00] Tan is already a bit over extended in LA.

Tanoujin Milestone [09:00]

Shep Titian [09:00] Why do you buy 8 parcels?

Tor Karlsvalt [09:01] I should note, if Cedar wants in, we may want to consider changes to LA to make it suitable.

Tanoujin Milestone [09:01] to keep it up

Shep Titian [09:01] Do you use them all?

Tor Karlsvalt [09:01] Um, I use them. I have been in LA with the same three parcels for more than a year, maybe two.

Shep Titian [09:01] If we do that for Cedar we should look in general to change things

Moonrise Azalee [09:02] Moonrise Azalee would still love to see a brand new look for LA if kept.

Tor Karlsvalt [09:02] one parcel is only a fachwerk and prim parcel in NfS.

Moonrise Azalee [09:02] Moonrise Azalee nods

Tanoujin Milestone [09:03] sorry, my time is up. Thank you, great meeting.

Moonrise Azalee [09:03] … if i may, people like to express their creativity and it can be difficult within the confines and be attractive to only certain groups of people. Not necessarily bad, but just difficult.

Tor Karlsvalt [09:03] I might point out, that with a tier increase LA might support a large event space.

Rosie Gray [09:03] Tan!

Tor Karlsvalt [09:03] just throwing that out.

Fern Leissa [09:03] Tan

Moonrise Azalee [09:03] Sorry Tan.. and yes i have to get goign here sooon too.

Callipygian Christensen [09:03] Callipygian Christensen raises her hand
[09:03] (back from the shower

Tor Karlsvalt [09:03] done

Shep Titian [09:03] Tan

Pip Torok [09:03] i must go as well folks … see you all!

Shep Titian [09:03] Calli

Rosie Gray [09:03] Rosie Gray waves to Pip

Moonrise Azalee [09:03] Pip

Fern Leissa [09:04] [whispers] hair is still wet Calli

Pip Torok [09:04]

Shep Titian [09:04] Pip

Fern Leissa [09:04] Pip

Tor Karlsvalt [09:04] Tor Karlsvalt gets coffee

Callipygian Christensen [09:04] Personally I oppose tire increase. The surplus is there for this sort of thing – establish a wy to try to revive LA, set a date for it to work by or ot, then act accordingly, allowing the surplus to cover the shortfall in that time

Moonrise Azalee [09:05] Moonrise Azalee nods

Callipygian Christensen [09:05] Once before parcels were sold with no cost for land..just 3 months tier as first payment..
[09:06] that could be done again and advertised – its not as if each parcel hasnt been sold and covered its initial cost many times already
[09:06] done

Shep Titian [09:06] Likes it when the Dean speaks sence

Moonrise Azalee [09:06] Moonrise Azalee nods in agreement

Tor Karlsvalt [09:06] Tor Karlsvalt nods, that was a special arrangement and one I took advantage of when I bought me first parcel.

Shep Titian [09:06] Thank you Calli

Callipygian Christensen [09:06] Callipygian Christensen is speking as Calli

Fern Leissa [09:06] Fern Leissa raises hand

Rosie Gray [09:06] Rosie Gray likes Calli’s idea

Callipygian Christensen [09:06] Tor..me too..in LA as a matter of fact

Tor Karlsvalt [09:07] Tor Karlsvalt notes also that land prices at the time were way out of proportion to reality.

Shep Titian [09:07] Ok we can agree a date while we are here
[09:07] Get iot on record

Callipygian Christensen [09:07] many many estates now folow the X months of tier, no actual cost of land model

Tor Karlsvalt [09:08] Tor Karlsvalt nods

Callipygian Christensen [09:08] ok..I am off to be a witness at a wedding..later everyone!

Fern Leissa [09:08] Calli

Tor Karlsvalt [09:08] Callie

Shep Titian [09:08] Yes I agree Calli .. you don’t see them with a cost to buy these days
[09:08] Enjoy hun

Moonrise Azalee [09:09] Calli

Tor Karlsvalt [09:09] Ms. LRA, would you rather have my statement just posted to the forum?

Shep Titian [09:10] Ok we’re down to two .. so lets get this wound up .. I will take this to the forum .. will start it up .. and we keep it on agenda until a decision is made
[09:10] Agree to move on Birch?

Moonrise Azalee [09:10] Aye
[09:10] Moonrise Azalee smiles

Shep Titian [09:11] Aye
[09:12] He needs a poke

Tor Karlsvalt [09:12] oh sorry
[09:12] me?

Shep Titian [09:12] Yay

Tor Karlsvalt [09:12] [09:13] Oh ok, it is long and I was going to post it to the forum anyway.
[09:13] But I can just jet it in if you like.

Shep Titian [09:13] Yes its meant to go there first

Tor Karlsvalt [09:13] ok
[09:13] here or in the forum?

Shep Titian [09:13] It goes forum/ amend if needed / to RA

Widget Whiteberry [09:13] Widget Whiteberry bio break …. will read up shortly

Tor Karlsvalt [09:14] ok
[09:14] I do ask that we have another RA this month however.

Shep Titian [09:14] Ok so will you post it formally and then we can ratify next meeting

Tor Karlsvalt [09:15] ok

Rosie Gray [09:15] have to go all… now

Shep Titian [09:15] lovely

Tor Karlsvalt [09:15] Roise

Moonrise Azalee [09:15] Rosie

Tor Karlsvalt [09:15] Rosie

Shep Titian [09:15] Rosie hun thanks for coming

Moonrise Azalee [09:15] Does it have to be this month?

Shep Titian [09:15] Ok Birch .. next meeting
[09:16] No we can do a monthly one

Moonrise Azalee [09:16] Moonrise Azalee looks over at Tor

Shep Titian [09:16] Sat 3rd August?

Tor Karlsvalt [09:16] It would be nice to resolve a tier issue this month.
[09:17] One way or another.

Moonrise Azalee [09:17] Sat 3rd August works for me.. i am gone from the 22nd til the end of the month for July

Shep Titian [09:17] Well Atm you have 3-4 nays

Tor Karlsvalt [09:17] Tor Karlsvalt marks his Calendar.

Moonrise Azalee [09:18] Can we make it 8am or does it need to be 7? 7 is a smidge too early :/
[09:18] tho i can do it

Shep Titian [09:18] So if you push it I think you’d lose

Tor Karlsvalt [09:18] Tor Karlsvalt reflects on the power of the purse.

Shep Titian [09:18] Lets do 8 am hun

Moonrise Azalee [09:18] Moonrise Azalee smiles
[09:18] ok so August 3rd, Saturday 8am

Shep Titian [09:18] this was a long meeting today

Moonrise Azalee [09:18] Hell yeah

Tor Karlsvalt [09:18] yes, but a good one

Shep Titian [09:19] Yep ..

Fern Leissa [09:19] Agreed

Tor Karlsvalt [09:19] I think it ed to frame some of the issues.

Moonrise Azalee [09:19] Moonrise Azalee nods
[09:19] ive got to get back onto the forums for discussion further regarding topics today.

Tor Karlsvalt [09:19] the Cedar meeting must be over. Jon logged.

Shep Titian [09:20] Yes Tor .. oh I should ask Tor do you want to give any statement atm?

Tor Karlsvalt [09:20] haha

Shep Titian [09:20] οΏΌ

Tor Karlsvalt [09:20] Well it was a long one, I could do it now or post it

Shep Titian [09:20] Does it need a vote?

Tor Karlsvalt [09:22] hmmm, well maybe the part relating to a proposed tier increase. Perhaps that should just be included in the agenda for next meeting.
[09:22] at best I expected it to be tabled today anyway.

Shep Titian [09:22] Yes .. we’re not quorate now

Tor Karlsvalt [09:22] I could just add something about SL10

Shep Titian [09:23] Yes good go ahead .. you have the floor

Tor Karlsvalt [09:23] Thanks
[09:23] First let me state we had a successful exhibit at SL10B. I heard from a number of you via IM and some posted to the forum how well they enjoyed the exhibit. I must thank some for all the hard work they did for CDS in putting on the exhibit. First of all, Lilith Ivory make a wonderful pavilion. I think without her work we would not have had such a successful exhibit. But also important were the contributions from Sudane, who always comes through with an informative exhibit about our mission, Gwyn who provided some old pictures and a history of CDS, Trebor who ed assembled some historic dates and um, myself for creating the timeline. (Don’t want to be immodest but that was some work.)
[09:23] I will place the exhibit on some land I own in Alpine Meadow for any who might have missed it.
[09:24] I would also note that we have some new people in CDS. Fern is back as well as AmelieScarlett,
Cleo Xigalia, and Seraphiel Galaxy. We have one other old timer who’s name escapes me at the moment.

Widget Whiteberry [09:24] Widget Whiteberry makes a note to see that exhibit … in lag free environment

Moonrise Azalee [09:25] Moonrise Azalee nods and makes a similar note

Tor Karlsvalt [09:25] I would also, like to thank you all for a very good RA meeting today. Thanks to Shep for running it very well.

Moonrise Azalee [09:25] Moonrise Azalee claps
[09:25] WOOT

Tor Karlsvalt [09:25] done

Fern Leissa [09:25] clap clap clap thank you Shep!

Shep Titian [09:25] Aww shoot thx

Tor Karlsvalt [09:25]

Shep Titian [09:25] Keep the old girl onside! οΏΌ

Moonrise Azalee [09:25]

Shep Titian [09:26] hehehehehehehehehehe
[09:26] Anyone else got anything?

Tor Karlsvalt [09:26]

Widget Whiteberry [09:26] nope

Moonrise Azalee [09:27] i second that

Covey Homewood [08:26] I’m not sure what that means” “any citizen concerns”
[08:26] sorry, new to this meeting format

Ranma Tardis [08:26] any citizen

Alexia Carnell [08:26] yes some concerns about anarchy in LA

Ranma Tardis [08:26] please go on

Alexia Carnell [08:27] i just notice that anybody can build whatever wherever he wants and i frankly do NOT like it

Callipygian Christensen [08:27] Covey – general concerns about CDS that may not be covered in agenda items

Alexia Carnell [08:27] and i have nothing else to add

Tanoujin Milestone [08:27] me raises hand

Ranma Tardis [08:27] please continue

Tanoujin Milestone [08:28] may I?

Ranma Tardis [08:28] yes

Alexia Carnell [08:28] i propose to abolish covenants in LA and make it a sandbox so we’ll all be happy

Trebor Warcliffe [08:28] Tuscany

Tor Karlsvalt [08:28] Raises Hand

Tanoujin Milestone [08:28] Alexia, your concern has been adressed. The Mosque will be boxed and replaced by a temple. The rest is for our private converstation, i think done

Covey Homewood [08:28] Who are you referring to Alexia?

Ranma Tardis [08:29] Covey please wait your turn

Alexia Carnell [08:29] i ‘m not referring to anybody
[08:29] i’m rfeferring to COVENANTS

Callipygian Christensen [08:29] Callipygian Christensen raises her hand

Alexia Carnell [08:29] which appear to be totally unuseful

Ranma Tardis [08:29] anything else?

Alexia Carnell [08:29] strict or large
[08:29] woint make any difference

CLEOPATRA Xigalia [08:30] CLEOPATRA Xigalia raises her hand too

Alexia Carnell [08:30] i am finished

Ranma Tardis [08:30] Callipygian your turn
[08:31] you can speak noe
[08:32] now
[08:32] okies Cleo your turn

Tor Karlsvalt [08:32] Raises hand

CLEOPATRA Xigalia [08:33] Enforcing the covenents of CDS is one of the major duties of the chancellor. If we do not like how the current chancellor makes decisions it seems we should deal with the chancellor directly and then make note of how the chancellor chooses to use his or her power, and their ability to implement the rules fairly and with good sense. Then, remember when you VOTE or when you choose not to run for chancellor next term.

Ranma Tardis [08:33] you are next Tor

CLEOPATRA Xigalia [08:33] Do not keep electing a chancellor if you do not like how they use their power.
[08:33] By virtue of the many number of times Tor has been elected or made chancellor by default because no one else ran, it would seem the majority of the citizens MUST be pleased with his work.
[08:33] personally i question most the hobo camp and red underwear
[08:33] done

Ranma Tardis [08:34] hobo camp?

Tanoujin Milestone [08:34] Tanoujin Milestone takes another note

Lilith Ivory [08:34] Lilith Ivory laughs

CLEOPATRA Xigalia [08:34] the hobo camp in Locus

Trebor Warcliffe [08:34] I vote for pink underwear

Moonrise Azalee [08:34] Moonrise Azalee grins

CLEOPATRA Xigalia [08:34] its more roman

Lilith Ivory [08:34] may we have blue and white one?

Ranma Tardis [08:34] ok Tor your turn

CLEOPATRA Xigalia [08:34] οΏΌ

Tor Karlsvalt [08:34] Thank you Cleo for the early campain speech.

Trebor Warcliffe [08:34] @ Tor

CLEOPATRA Xigalia [08:34] I am not running

Widget Whiteberry [08:34] Widget Whiteberry snickers

Tor Karlsvalt [08:35] Regarding the mosque
[08:35] The issue has been dealt with and it will be removed.

Ranma Tardis [08:35] yes

Trebor Warcliffe [08:35] Chancellor Cleo does have a nice ring to it hehe

Callipygian Christensen [08:35] my turn.ok

Tor Karlsvalt [08:35] I remind the group that we are not a rp sim
[08:35] we may form time to time have anachronims
[08:36] we have others visible in LA now, by several citizens
[08:36] Also, we will be updating the covenant and theme of LA to be more tolerant and modern.

Callipygian Christensen [08:36] Alexia, or anyone for that matter with knowledge of architecture and history, I am sure any Chancellor would appreciate in reviewing builds for covenant compliance. Perhaps meeting with him, since it is currently Tor, to address builds that are a concern so he can start a process of dealing with them done

Tor Karlsvalt [08:37] I think that is basically what people have been pushing for with all these variances.

Ranma Tardis [08:37] ok Call

Tor Karlsvalt [08:38] I remind the group also, that other chancellors have allowed variances to a far greater degree. I think Cleo had an Egyptian build for quite some time.

CLEOPATRA Xigalia [08:40] thank you for the snide remarks, and yes i had an egyptian thing in la years ago…. 2.. What is the legal action that needs to be taken to change the covenents not just interpret

Ranma Tardis [08:40] Cleo you have the floor

Covey Homewood [08:40] forgot to include Imper Fegte from Cedar Island

CLEOPATRA Xigalia [08:40] fern do you know what it takes to change covenents ?

Tor Karlsvalt [08:41] Tor Karlsvalt laughs at the question

Ranma Tardis [08:41] moving on
[08:41] new business

CLEOPATRA Xigalia [08:41] tor you are making a jerk of yourself love.
[08:41] h

Ranma Tardis [08:42] Ms Xigalia no personal attacks during the meeting

Alexia Carnell [08:42] Please you all stop personal attacks – we are here to talk about LA

CLEOPATRA Xigalia [08:42] CLEOPATRA Xigalia raises hand

Ranma Tardis [08:42] one last time

Alexia Carnell [08:42] Alexia Carnell raises hand

Ranma Tardis [08:43] I remind people to be civil to each other
[08:43] we are waiting Cleo

Delia Lake [08:43] Delia Lake volunteers to work with the Chancellor to propose modified/updated covenants for the sims

CLEOPATRA Xigalia [08:43] 1/ if you read back I was attacked first… 2/ asking how the covenents get changed is a legitimatequestion

Ranma Tardis [08:44] this is not grade school
[08:44] Alexia your turn

Alexia Carnell [08:44] Gettin back to LA… i suggest we ask Sudane’s opinion on how they manage good quality in new england sims. There the resuklts are bright. Loosening covenants in LA will not be a solution.
[08:44] My personal opinion is that CDS should strongly protect the environmental and architectural quality of Locus Amoenus. I therefore propose either an entirely built sim – or 2nd option a “catalogue” of houses to rez – or (3rd option at worst) a redefinition of covenants with a strict control – which up to now we largely demonstrate we are not able to manage or guarantee.

Ranma Tardis [08:44] okies moving to new business

Alexia Carnell [08:45] finished

Ranma Tardis [08:45] the Budget

Callipygian Christensen [08:58] Callipygian Christensen coughs and waves again

Shep Titian [08:59] LA … the chancellor has asked me to propose RA direct the guild to redesign and carry out the works of redesigning LA .. there is a list of guidelines .. and the chjancellor wishes any design approved by RA before work begins

Fern Leissa [08:59] Fern Leissa raises hand

Tor Karlsvalt [09:00] just for info: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=4068

Shep Titian [09:00] Calli

Callipygian Christensen [09:00] thankyou Shep – this relates to the budget
[09:01] since you’ve ratified it without discussion, I request tht an item be added to the next RA agenda, authorizing 75,000 lindens to be used for advertising of the CDS, as discussed on the Forums with the support of Sudane and others
[09:02] This would be a special expenditure or whatever you want to call it. Done.

Shep Titian [09:02] Yes no problem
[09:03] It goes well with the redesign
[09:03] Fern

Fern Leissa [09:03] ty
[09:04] I believe it is the responsibility of the the ra to change themes/covenants for sims. Not the guild nor the chancellor
[09:04] Last time.. if I remember correctly the LRA appointed a committee to make recommendations to the ra

Tanoujin Milestone [09:05] Committe report after new business, Fern

Fern Leissa [09:05] Once the changes were voted on
[09:05] ok

Ranma Tardis [09:05] raises hand

CLEOPATRA Xigalia [09:05] CLEOPATRA Xigalia raises hand

Shep Titian [09:06] That is a question I have for the SC .. whose remit is the land desgn?

Delia Lake [09:06] /raises her hand

Shep Titian [09:06] Ranma
[09:07] Cleo after Ran then Delia

Callipygian Christensen [09:07] land design falls to the guild or whomever is tasked to do so, after RA appproves any major change

Ranma Tardis [09:07] had thought Tor was part of the committee and this is their plan? is it?
[09:07] ty

Callipygian Christensen [09:07] The Chancellor cannot change a theme, RA does that, which is why Tor has brought this to RA I am guessing

Tor Karlsvalt [09:07] Raises hand.

Tanoujin Milestone [09:07] me raises hand

Shep Titian [09:07] Good thank you
[09:08] Cleo

CLEOPATRA Xigalia [09:08] I am curious… if fern is correct, If the chancellor steps out of bounds, what happens? then is it the matter of the SC , or does the RA empeach

Callipygian Christensen [09:08] Callipygian Christensen raises her hand

Shep Titian [09:08] Tan after Delia

CLEOPATRA Xigalia [09:08] done.. scratching head

Shep Titian [09:08] Calli after Tan

Delia Lake [09:09] following on what Calli said,

Shep Titian [09:10] Cleo .. with everyone watching him I’m sure he would’nt dare οΏΌ

Delia Lake [09:10] in the past proposals wer brought to the guild, the Guild made detailed plans and those were voted by the RA

CLEOPATRA Xigalia [09:10] CLEOPATRA Xigalia winks at shep

Delia Lake [09:10] re sim design

Tor Karlsvalt [09:10] brb coffee

Shep Titian [09:10] Yes DElia he asks us to ok the design

Tor Karlsvalt [09:11] b

Delia Lake [09:11] that is because it is up to the Guild to decide if a design is technically doable

Shep Titian [09:11] Tan

Tanoujin Milestone [09:11] i withdraw

Shep Titian [09:11] Calli

CLEOPATRA Xigalia [09:11] CLEOPATRA Xigalia raises hand again

Shep Titian [09:11] After Calli Cleo

Callipygian Christensen [09:12] I’ve expressed some concerns about the breadth of the timeframe and vaguenss of theme here: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=4068#p20615

Tor Karlsvalt [09:12] Tor Karlsvalt notes he raised his hand at 9:07:58

Callipygian Christensen [09:12] once again, sounding like a broken record, please consider Tuscany as a thme, or some other theme that allows simple, understandable and enforcable covenants – done

Shep Titian [09:12] Sorry Tor

Tor Karlsvalt [09:13] np
[09:13] Thanks

Shep Titian [09:13] Cleo please allow Tor as I missed him

Tor Karlsvalt [09:13] My plan is on the forum at viewtopic.php?f=8&t=4068
[09:13] Calli and Alexia have also advanced plans there and to me personally.
[09:13] So has Candace
[09:14] my guidlines are not intended to be rigid.

Shep Titian [09:14] Well maybe they could be put out somewhere

Fern Leissa [09:14] Fern Leissa raises hand

Tor Karlsvalt [09:14] It has always been my undersdtanding that the Guild is merely hired by the RA and that the RA mus approve any final plan for LA.
[09:14] done.

Shep Titian [09:15] Fern after Cleo

CLEOPATRA Xigalia [09:15] Is it appropriate to ask for a review of proper procedure before the L A project goes forward ? maybe a committee or what ever way makes sense to make sure the procedures are known understood and followed ?

Tanoujin Milestone [09:15] Tanoujin Milestone raises hand (for real)

Fern Leissa [09:15]

CLEOPATRA Xigalia [09:16] Is it appropriate to ask for a review of proper procedure before the L A project goes forward ? maybe a committee or what ever way makes sense to make sure the procedures are known understood and followed ?
[09:16] done

Shep Titian [09:16] Fern

Soro Dagostino [09:17] Soro Dagostino raises hand

Shep Titian [09:17] Tan after Fern

Fern Leissa [09:17] Tan first maybe?

Tanoujin Milestone [09:17] okay—
[09:17] I wonder if we can place the discussion of the LA sim theme at the guild and adopt the rest of Tor’s proposal. And I would like to hear Calli’s opinion on this.

Shep Titian [09:17] Ok Tan

Tanoujin Milestone [09:18] done, thanks

Fern Leissa [09:18] kk…me next I think

Shep Titian [09:18] Fern

Fern Leissa [09:18] I want to say again that I think this is an ra matter not guild.. the ra must decide the theme

Shep Titian [09:18] Yes Fern I was aware

Rosie Gray [09:18] Rosie Gray raises hand

Shep Titian [09:19] Cleo

CLEOPATRA Xigalia [09:19] Is it appropriate to ask for a review of proper procedure before the L A project goes forward ? maybe a committee or what ever way makes sense to make sure the procedures are known understood and followed ?

Rosie Gray [09:20] I agree that the RA needs to ratify the theme and covenant before the Guild starts to develop the propposal based on it
[09:20] done

Shep Titian [09:21] Soro

Alexia Carnell [09:21] Alexia Carnell raises hand again [09:19] Alexia Carnell raises hand

Soro Dagostino [09:21] I would provide a point of information. This procedure was reviewed in depth, to the point of a SC review Several terms ago.

Shep Titian [09:21] Sorry Alexia .. Tor I’m bumping you one

Tor Karlsvalt [09:22] np

Soro Dagostino [09:22] The Rules were changed to provide the RA approval of the suggestions of a NGO — the then Guild.

CLEOPATRA Xigalia [09:22] CLEOPATRA Xigalia listens to soro

Tor Karlsvalt [09:22] I was going to yield if you didn’t

Shep Titian [09:22]

Soro Dagostino [09:23] Done

Shep Titian [09:23] Alexia

Alexia Carnell [09:23] I’m totally ignorant about procedures. But please dont stuck in procedures.
[09:23] One BASIC thing should be clear to whoever and all…
[09:23] Covenants .. themes.. “not rigid” what are we talking about? do we think that freedom of building is appealing for new citizens? it’s plenty of sandboxes out there.
[09:23] Do we want freedom of building or a high quality sim? please let’s focus on this point
[09:24] first
[09:24] I’m finished

Ranma Tardis [09:24] raises hand

Shep Titian [09:24] Thank you Alexia
[09:24] Tor

Tor Karlsvalt [09:24] Thanks

Shep Titian [09:25] Cleo after Ran

Tanoujin Milestone [09:25] Tanoujin Milestone raises hand

Fern Leissa [09:25] Fern Leissa raises hand

Moonrise Azalee [09:26] Moonrise Azalee raises hand

Callipygian Christensen [09:26] Callipygian Christensen raises her hand

Tor Karlsvalt [09:26] Welcome Josjoha

Widget Whiteberry [09:26] Widget Whiteberry likes the idea of a broad time period

josjoha Resident#http://mbprofile:46d57f91-c823-4875-be4e-4bb2ba63e17d&josjoha Resident [09:26] ty Tor

[09:27] Bagheera Kristan is offline

Ranma Tardis [09:27] what people forget is the CDS is an exercise in representional democracy first and lsst. It was not intended to be a place of only high quality builds
[09:27] it was never intended to be a role playing set of sims.

Shep Titian [09:27] Tan then Fern Birch

Ranma Tardis [09:28] while quality is important we have let the cart drag the horse

Shep Titian [09:28] missed Cleo

Tanoujin Milestone [09:28] I was about to move we adopt Tor’s proposal but define the theme as “tuscany” with a time frame “post-Roman to the end of the 19th century (or pre-WWI)”. Does the time frame need more discussion? Dome

Ranma Tardis [09:28] the main theme is a place of citizen empowerment.

CLEOPATRA Xigalia [09:28] CLEOPATRA Xigalia agrees with Tan.

Delia Lake [09:28] Delia Lake notes that Shep missed Delia too

Ranma Tardis [09:29] not the perfect theme in the only high quality builds

CLEOPATRA Xigalia [09:29] CLEOPATRA Xigalia raises hand..

Shep Titian [09:29] Cleo
[09:29] then Birch

CLEOPATRA Xigalia [09:29] CLEOPATRA Xigalia passes

Ranma Tardis [09:29] while standards are important democracy must rule the day

Fern Leissa [09:29] Fern Leissa raises hand

Tor Karlsvalt [09:29] Tor Karlsvalt thinks Tan’s proposal is good.

Ranma Tardis [09:29] thank you\

Shep Titian [09:29] OK

Lilith Ivory [09:29] Lilith Ivory thinks so too

Shep Titian [09:30] Have a free for all
[09:30] NOTHING will get done

Alexia Carnell [09:30] Alexia Carnell wonders what “tuscany” means (knowing the RL region very well)

Tanoujin Milestone [09:30] any speakers? I will place the move when LRA calls me. Silent now

Shep Titian [09:31] I would like a voice myself

Fern Leissa [09:31] ?

Soro Dagostino [09:31] Sorry folk, like to stay, but RL calls.

Rosie Gray [09:31] Rosie Gray raises hand

Fern Leissa [09:31] Soro

Callipygian Christensen [09:31] Alexia – my original suggestion is here, along with links viewtopic.php?f=1&t=4062&p=20594#p20594

Shep Titian [09:31] We have done nothing for months but bemoan the state of LA
[09:31] WEe have HAD committees
[09:32] They hjave reported it needs changing

CLEOPATRA Xigalia [09:32] CLEOPATRA Xigalia raises hand.. again

Shep Titian [09:32] Tor IS doing it the right way

Ranma Tardis [09:32] nods

Fern Leissa [09:32] Fern Leissa raises hand

Shep Titian [09:33] RA has to approver .. BUT Tor you can’t decide the theme .. RA does that

[09:33] Bagheera Kristan is online
[09:34] I honestly don’t thinkk any more ‘oh buts’ wioll do anythjing but delay us improving CDS
[09:34] so can we please ghet on with it .. we will NEVER please every single person .. but let us try

Tanoujin Milestone [09:35] 7me looks at her hand

Ranma Tardis [09:35] claps

Rosie Gray [09:35] Rosie Gray looks at her hand too

Shep Titian [09:35] Ok taking hands up from now

Tanoujin Milestone [09:35] Tanoujin Milestone raises hand

Shep Titian [09:35] Tan

Tanoujin Milestone [09:35] I move we adopt Tor’s proposal but define the theme as “tuscany” with a time frame “post-Roman to the end of the 19th century (or pre-WWI)”

Moonrise Azalee [09:35] Moonrise Azalee raises hand

Fern Leissa [09:35] Fern Leissa raises hand

Rosie Gray [09:35] Rosie Gray keeps her hand raised

Shep Titian [09:35] I second
[09:36] o no wait ..

Tanoujin Milestone [09:36] [09:37] fine, withdrawing a third time today – improve it… let us have a result

Shep Titian [09:37] Lets get this done right .. I propose we the RA instruct the Guild to make plans to redesign LA in a Tuscan themne .. and to do the woprk once the design is approved by RA

Ranma Tardis [09:38] second

Moonrise Azalee [09:38] i second

Tanoujin Milestone [09:38] time frame, Shep?

Moonrise Azalee [09:38] Moonrise Azalee grins

Fern Leissa [09:38] Fern Leissa pulls hair out and raises hand

Shep Titian [09:38] ASAP

Tanoujin Milestone [09:38] of the theme

Shep Titian [09:38] one minute FErn

Ranma Tardis [09:38] point of order we have a motion on the floor

Shep Titian [09:38] Vote

Ranma Tardis [09:38] aye

Shep Titian [09:38] Aye

Moonrise Azalee [09:39] aye

Tanoujin Milestone [09:39] aye

Carlo Islar [09:39] stands from voting

Ranma Tardis [09:39] claps

Lilith Ivory [09:39] yay!

Rosie Gray [09:39]

Tanoujin Milestone [09:39] no timeframe, we will regret that

Shep Titian [09:39] Tor! exxciting times ahead !!!!!

Ranma Tardis [09:39] do not think so

Shep Titian [09:39] Fern

Callipygian Christensen [09:40] point of order..is that vote on Tan’s motion, ? (Shep’s comments being a second motion to follow?

Fern Leissa [09:40] You still need to write something out. The specifics of the covenant need to go in the About Land tab. I believe that is the ra’s job.

Tanoujin Milestone [09:40] I withdrew the motion

Rosie Gray [09:40] Rosie Gray agrees with Fern

Fern Leissa [09:40] If it’s not clear… then this debate will just continue to give us headaches

Tor Karlsvalt [09:41] Tor Karlsvalt raises hand

Ranma Tardis [09:41] raises hand

Rosie Gray [09:41] Rosie Gray keeps hand raised

Fern Leissa [09:41] done

Shep Titian [09:41] Rosie

Rosie Gray [09:41] thank you Shep

Callipygian Christensen [09:41] Callipygian Christensen s

Moonrise Azalee [09:41] Moonrise Azalee withdraws hand

Rosie Gray [09:41] I really think that the RA needs to set specifics for the covenants
[09:41] including the time frame
[09:41] and building materials
[09:41] allowable
[09:42] but perhaps right now is not the appropriate time to work those out

Delia Lake [09:42] Delia Lake raises her most invisible hand

Lilith Ivory [09:42] Lilith Ivory raises hand

Delia Lake [09:42] again

Shep Titian [09:42] DElia then CAlli

Rosie Gray [09:42] but I think that a committee could report back next RA meeting with specifics
[09:43] otherwise, I agree with what others have said, that we are leaving things too vague again
[09:43] and, specifically in regards to Tuscany

Shep Titian [09:43] The word committe is so damn depressing

Delia Lake [09:43] covenants and redesign need to fit together. developing 1 without consideration of the other would be a big mistake imo, and make each much more difficult

Tor Karlsvalt [09:43]

Rosie Gray [09:43] I’d like to also have that clarified a bit more

CLEOPATRA Xigalia [09:43] here here Delia

Tor Karlsvalt [09:43] Tor Karlsvalt remembers raising his hand.

Rosie Gray [09:44] so that the guild can get down to a hard proposal on development and not have to worry about the covenants being too vague
[09:44] done.

Shep Titian [09:44] Calli then Tor

Callipygian Christensen [09:44] I request that Tanoujin make a motion to add the timeframe back in, and that while the guild is working on a design,someone be tasked with drafting appropriate covenants
[09:45] If the design and covenants can be brought to RA together, after discussion on the Forums, we can actually get something done
[09:45] finished

Tanoujin Milestone [09:45] okay with me, a moment please… Shep, do you have objections?

Shep Titian [09:46] My personal view on Covenants is you find a design that people might want to live in and work the covenants to fit the design
[09:46] No go ahead

Tor Karlsvalt [09:46] Thanks Callie/shep, I agree with Delia and Rosie.
[09:46] me or Tan?

Tanoujin Milestone [09:46] Suggestion to be discussed: “I propose we the RA instruct the Guild to make plans to redesign LA in a Tuscan theme with a time frame “post-Roman to the end of the 19th century (or pre-WWI)”, and to draft a covenant fitting to that theme .. and to do the woprk once the design is approved by RA. ”

Shep Titian [09:47] Tor speak

Tor Karlsvalt [09:47] Ok thanks

CLEOPATRA Xigalia [09:47] CLEOPATRA Xigalia wonders if a castle would fit pre WWI theme

Shep Titian [09:47] I second
[09:48] hahahahahahahahaha

Rosie Gray [09:48] Rosie Gray wonders why the starting point is post-Roman

Alexia Carnell [09:48] i dont understand

Tor Karlsvalt [09:48] This suggestion would work. I was going to point out that earlier Delia thought She and I could work together on covenants. Or the RA could have a commission. Or the Guild could probably have a committee.

Shep Titian [09:48] OH dear ..

CLEOPATRA Xigalia [09:48] 1914?

Tor Karlsvalt [09:48] We could do any of those routes.

Alexia Carnell [09:49] iah uh i suppose i have to remove the Time Machine

Tanoujin Milestone [09:49] Tanoujin Milestone is getting a headache

Ranma Tardis [09:49] move we table the vote

Tor Karlsvalt [09:49] I think the time machine could stay imo
[09:49] done

Shep Titian [09:49] Just chage the exterior textures Alexia

Alexia Carnell [09:49] Alexia Carnell raises hand

Callipygian Christensen [09:49] to tie-in with CN and not lose the original history of LA completely

Tor Karlsvalt [09:50] Tor Karlsvalt notes that ancient might be a better term than post-roman

Bagheera Kristan [09:50] oh this is bad *Bagheera mutters under her breath*

Tanoujin Milestone [09:50] i second Ranma’s move to table the motion

CLEOPATRA Xigalia [09:50] really bad.

Shep Titian [09:50] VBote
[09:50] Vote

Tanoujin Milestone [09:50] aye

Ranma Tardis [09:50] aye

Shep Titian [09:50] Aye

Moonrise Azalee [09:50] aye

Shep Titian [09:51] Passed

CLEOPATRA Xigalia [09:51] they had skyscrapers then alexia !

Shep Titian [09:51] Can we all treat this as fun

Tanoujin Milestone [09:51] the motion to table the motion has passed?

Moonrise Azalee [09:51] it would appear

Ranma Tardis [09:51] lets move to the last point of business

Tanoujin Milestone [09:51] fine

Rosie Gray [09:51] Rosie Gray is confused

CLEOPATRA Xigalia [09:51] 12 story buildings in 1914 in tuscany

Shep Titian [09:52] Cleo you are being silly

Tor Karlsvalt [09:52] Tor Karlsvalt is sure that we can keep a height limit on builds.

CLEOPATRA Xigalia [09:52] C just looked it up
[09:52] did the RA research what they just voted on ?

Shep Titian [09:52] RA has final say

CLEOPATRA Xigalia [09:52] great !

Shep Titian [09:52] you think we’d allow that?

Moonrise Azalee [09:52] i think we voted to table the motion
[09:53] Moonrise Azalee is confused

CLEOPATRA Xigalia [09:53] 1914 had huge factories too

Callipygian Christensen [09:53] Cleo..you might have commented on the Forums when this was all posted a week ago- as could any citizen concerned that the suggestions were not appropriate.

Tanoujin Milestone [09:53] Tanoujin Milestone raises hand

Tor Karlsvalt [09:53] Tor Karlsvalt very true

josjoha Resident#http://mbprofile:46d57f91-c823-4875-be4e-4bb2ba63e17d&josjoha Resident [09:53] concurs with Cleo; industrial revolution was roaring a long time by 1914

CLEOPATRA Xigalia [09:53] sorry Calli i was otherwise occupied .. seems the RA who voted should have researched what they voted on

Tor Karlsvalt [09:53] Tor Karlsvalt sits on his hands.

Ranma Tardis [09:54] Madame LRA can we move to the next item?

Callipygian Christensen [09:54] And covenants can specify no factories, no skyscrapers..so I htink it a moot point.

Ceasar Xigalia [09:54] Ceasar Xigalia rolls on the floor laughing

Tor Karlsvalt [09:55] Tor Karlsvalt notes we are going on two hours.

CLEOPATRA Xigalia [09:55] you could allow things based on who builds them instead, thats easier.

Moonrise Azalee [09:55]

Shep Titian [09:55] Ok lets move on

Moonrise Azalee [09:55] Moonrise Azalee coughs.. i think this can all be dealt with

Tanoujin Milestone [09:55] okay

CLEOPATRA Xigalia [09:56] you said make it fun, shep

Ceasar Xigalia [09:56] Ceasar Xigalia now hurts from laughing

Shep Titian [09:56] OK the chancellor proposes an increasre in tier .. Tor would you like to speak?

Tor Karlsvalt [09:56] Sure

Shep Titian [09:56] Not ful Ceasar

Tor Karlsvalt [09:56] The proposal has been on the forums for some time.

Carlo Islar [09:57] raises hand

Shep Titian [09:57] Carlo

Tor Karlsvalt [09:57] As has been reported we have been running deficits for the last three terms.

Callipygian Christensen [09:57] Callipygian Christensen ha s RL commitments..good day everyone!

Carlo Islar [09:57] i wa amazed how cheap it is here
[09:57] considdering the nature of the sims

Shep Titian [09:57] Calli

Moonrise Azalee [09:57] Calli!

Carlo Islar [09:57] done

Moonrise Azalee [09:57]

Delia Lake [09:57] Delia Lake raises her hand

Shep Titian [09:58] Thank you Carlo

Tor Karlsvalt [09:58] The proposed increase is 0.0325 per prim for all sims but Monaster, which is currently higher than other sims.
[09:58] There is an interactive version of the proposal that all can use to see how different rates affect our balance sheet.

Widget Whiteberry [09:59] Widget Whiteberry listens

Tor Karlsvalt [09:59] Although there are reasons to oppose an increase, I do not subscribe to merely living off the treasure built up by past residents. That seem a bad habit to get into.
[10:00] I must state that we have a large reserve, over 9K
[10:00] we are not in any danger of folding.
[10:00] But we can use our resever for sim expansion or advancement not current living expenses.
[10:01] done

Moonrise Azalee [10:01] Moonrise Azalee raises hand

Shep Titian [10:01] Birch

Tor Karlsvalt [10:02] sorry here is the link to the proposed tier.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc … lSEE#gid=0

Delia Lake [10:02] Delia Lake looks closely at her hand and wonders how come she can see it but no one else can

CLEOPATRA Xigalia [10:02] CLEOPATRA Xigalia sees it

Moonrise Azalee [10:02] I’ll just say i have read this at length in the forums and am opposed to a tier increase. I do not think that this encourages new residents. As for Sim expansion… i REALLY dont even want to think about that until well after we get LA dealt with.
[10:02] done

Shep Titian [10:03] Thank you
[10:03] O silence

Moonrise Azalee [10:03] Moonrise Azalee hears crickets…. sweet silence

CLEOPATRA Xigalia [10:03] CLEOPATRA Xigalia raises hers too

Ranma Tardis [10:04] moves we approve Tors proposal to raise tier

CLEOPATRA Xigalia [10:04] we can readjust every term to meet our needs for teir, maybe that motivates us to go get new citizens interested and be nice to them . im ok to make the budget balanced .. it would be lower teir if we have more citizens

Tanoujin Milestone [10:04] second

CLEOPATRA Xigalia [10:04] [10:04] sorry

Shep Titian [10:05] My own view is the reserves were built up to cover just such a situation we find ourselves in .. and I think we should use a bit for advertising as previously suggested by Calli

Delia Lake [10:05] Delia Lake raises her hand and waves it around

Ranma Tardis [10:05] we have a motion on the floor

Shep Titian [10:05] I agree with Birch that increasing tier when other regions are giving some bargains is the wrong message
[10:06] Delia

Moonrise Azalee [10:06] Moonrise Azalee raises hand

CLEOPATRA Xigalia [10:06] make it temporary til we balance the budget.

Delia Lake [10:06] I also am opposed to raising tier at this time

Rosie Gray [10:06] Rosie Gray agrees with Birch and Delia

Delia Lake [10:07] I do not see right now when we are working on a redesign of LA, and are bringing in new residents that raising tier will have a positive affect, and likely just the opposite

Shep Titian [10:07] NBirch

Moonrise Azalee [10:07] Moonrise Azalee waits to see when Delia is done

Delia Lake [10:07] I agree with Shep that we need to spend some on advertizing, and I would also add to spend on events that draw new people to the sims

Ranma Tardis [10:08] point of order we have a motion on the floor

Tanoujin Milestone [10:08] and it was seconded

Shep Titian [10:08] Hear hear Delia .. the event the other night was a good example

Delia Lake [10:08] we cannot just be a place that people log into as home. we need to spend our efforts, and yes some money, cultivating a lively place to be

Rosie Gray [10:09] Rosie Gray nods

Moonrise Azalee [10:09] Moonrise Azalee nods

CLEOPATRA Xigalia [10:09] CLEOPATRA Xigalia nods

Tanoujin Milestone [10:09] [10:04] Ranma Tardis: moves we approve Tors proposal to raise tier

Ranma Tardis [10:09] Tan seconded

Tanoujin Milestone [10:09] [10:04] Tanoujin Milestone: second

Moonrise Azalee [10:10] my comment can wait until after the vote

Shep Titian [10:10] Vote
[10:10] Nay

Tanoujin Milestone [10:10] aye

Moonrise Azalee [10:10] Nay

Ranma Tardis [10:10] aye

Shep Titian [10:10] Not carried

Ranma Tardis [10:10] tie

Shep Titian [10:10] Sorry Tor

Tor Karlsvalt [10:10] Tor Karlsvalt do we have a seven day vote or Nolli?

Tanoujin Milestone [10:11] Did Nolligan ask for a 7 day vote?

CLEOPATRA Xigalia [10:11] CLEOPATRA Xigalia weeps
[10:11] ))
[10:11] let nolli vote

Ranma Tardis [10:11] yes it is up to him

Shep Titian [10:11] No he did’nt

Tor Karlsvalt [10:11] np

Shep Titian [10:11] No he did’nt

Ranma Tardis [10:11] well it has to go to the sc

Shep Titian [10:11] Why Tan?

Tanoujin Milestone [10:12] i did not state that

Tor Karlsvalt [10:12] I think a tie fails, unless there is a 7 day vote from Nolli

Rosie Gray [10:12] all… RL calling

Ranma Tardis [10:12] a tie vote is not a loss

Tor Karlsvalt [10:12] by Rosie

Moonrise Azalee [10:12] Rosie

Delia Lake [10:12] ?? a tie doesn’t pass

CLEOPATRA Xigalia [10:12] up to Nolligan Delia, IM him and tell him your wishes everyone

josjoha Resident#http://mbprofile:46d57f91-c823-4875-be4e-4bb2ba63e17d&josjoha Resident [10:12] Rosie

Fern Leissa [10:13] Rosie

Shep Titian [10:13] It is a loss because it was’nt carried

Lilith Ivory [10:13] as Noli is on vacation and depends on an iphone he might have unexpected problems to log in

Moonrise Azalee [10:13] he did not ask for a 7 day vote

Shep Titian [10:13] He did not ask .. I spoke to him on Wednesday he was fine then

Lilith Ivory [10:13] when I talked to him last he wanted to come to the meeting

Ranma Tardis [10:14] the science council has to rule

Shep Titian [10:14] He was .. last I heard .. against increase

Delia Lake [10:14] I am late to return to rl duties. will stay inworld to catch the rest of the chat but will not really be here

Moonrise Azalee [10:14] Why does SC have to rule?

Shep Titian [10:14] Yes he did

Lilith Ivory [10:14] why not just grant him a 7day vote

Fern Leissa [10:14] Delia

Ranma Tardis [10:14] because a tie is not a win or loss

CLEOPATRA Xigalia [10:14] why not vote next meeting ?

Shep Titian [10:14] BUT there is no 7 day

Tor Karlsvalt [10:15] The issue is still out there. We could motion that it be considered next meeting?

Moonrise Azalee [10:15] exactly. no 7 day or HECK i culd have been voting on lots of stuff for all the meetings i missed,

Delia Lake [10:15] fyi, the SC does not rule on tie votes of the RA

Tor Karlsvalt [10:15] Yes I agree with Cleo

Lilith Ivory [10:15] you could have indeed Birch

Moonrise Azalee [10:15] but i had assumed
[10:15] unless i asked for a 7 day
[10:15] there was no vote for me

Tor Karlsvalt [10:15] 7 day votes are in the rules

Tanoujin Milestone [10:16] we discussed that last time with Callli. Let us look it up, RA procedures.

Ranma Tardis [10:16] usually the Chancellor votes to break a tie

Moonrise Azalee [10:16] Moonrise Azalee is tired

Lilith Ivory [10:16] this is quite new to me Ranma

Ranma Tardis [10:16] nods

Lilith Ivory [10:17] but I used to grant 7day votes if a member could not come due to unexpected problems

CLEOPATRA Xigalia [10:17] at Ranma !

Shep Titian [10:17] Ok we’ll give Nolli a 7 day ..

Tor Karlsvalt [10:17] I would rather have the issue tabled for next meeting or a 7 day vote for Nolli rather than arguments before the SC.

Moonrise Azalee [10:18] Moonrise Azalee hopes to heck he isnt harassed by people wanting things one way or another

CLEOPATRA Xigalia [10:18] up to shep tor.

Tor Karlsvalt [10:18] haha
[10:18] sure

Ranma Tardis [10:18] we need to clean up the consitution in event of tie votes

Moonrise Azalee [10:18] what is the rule for tie votes then?

Tanoujin Milestone [10:19] a tie does not carry, like – who moves first loses

Lilith Ivory [10:19] thatΒ΄s why we have an unequal number of RA members and 7 day votes

Tanoujin Milestone [10:19] From Procedures (Portal) 7-day vote

Any member who is absent from a meeting can request a 7-day vote if they tell the LRA before the meeting.

Shep Titian [10:20] Its not a tie though .. you two are 40% of the RA .. not enough to carry

Moonrise Azalee [10:20] Moonrise Azalee nods

Tanoujin Milestone [10:20] i am not arguing against you Shep, this might be surprising within CDS but it is a fact

Moonrise Azalee [10:20] Moonrise Azalee grins

Ranma Tardis [10:21] still we need a provision in the contitution

Delia Lake [10:21] there is nothing in this to bring before the SC. The RA sets its own policies and procedures. unless the RA does something that abridges the rights of citizens or does something in conflict with the constitution, it is not an affair of the SC–and cannot be

Ranma Tardis [10:21] consitution

Tanoujin Milestone [10:21] Ranma, we should have waited until they move οΏΌ

Delia Lake [10:21] that is very clear

Tanoujin Milestone [10:21] we have defeated ourselves,

Moonrise Azalee [10:21] Moonrise Azalee s
[10:21] we represent the people
[10:21] not just ourselves

Ranma Tardis [10:22] yes

Shep Titian [10:22] He did’nt tell me he would’nt be here .. BUT I also know he’s only on his phone thios week .. so if I’m allowed I will give him a 7 day vote
[10:22] So we can finish this meeting

Ranma Tardis [10:22] nods

Tanoujin Milestone [10:22] this would be very much appreciated, Shep

Delia Lake [10:22] Delia Lake is no longer consciously in sl

Ranma Tardis [10:22] yes!

Tor Karlsvalt [10:23] sorry back, had a phone call

Shep Titian [10:23] Ok Tor do you have any exec report to give
[10:23] Please say no

Tor Karlsvalt [10:23] thanks

Shep Titian [10:23]

Tor Karlsvalt [10:23] No,

Tanoujin Milestone [10:23] (Committee report, Shep)

Moonrise Azalee [10:23] Moonrise Azalee laughs

Tor Karlsvalt [10:23] haah

Shep Titian [10:23] hehehehe

Tor Karlsvalt [10:23]

Tanoujin Milestone [10:24] I have a report to make

Shep Titian [10:24] Yes Tan .. Fairground Committee report?

CLEOPATRA Xigalia [10:24] CLEOPATRA Xigalia raises hand !

Tanoujin Milestone [10:24] Committee Report:

The committee met on 2013-07-27. It stated there was no need to have a fairground. The executive should go on to direct temporary events to empty unsold parcels and public land as the Marktplatz, Schloss, the Docks, the Amphitheatre and LA harbor. The Amphitheatre parcel should not be used for fairs, the committee prefers the use of private unsold land here. The guild offers assistance and quality assurance for setting up temporary events out of covenant run by citizens.

Summary: the Committee recommends to drop the topic and keep the established executive routines to handle events.

Sidenotes: the Committee recommends to order the guild to redesign the Amphitheatre. Further it recommends to rewrite the Locus Amoenus covenant to cover rules for events and a change of the sim theme as already discussed. I move to make both items new business

viewtopic.php?f=1&t=4066&p=20631#p20631

Shep Titian [10:24] Cleo

Tor Karlsvalt [10:24] Tor Karlsvalt thinks we did rather well considering the issues.

Tanoujin Milestone [10:24] done

Shep Titian [10:25] Ok next meeting
[10:26] Now with projects underway I suggest twop weeks?

CLEOPATRA Xigalia [10:26] i had something to say about fairground
[10:26]

Shep Titian [10:26] Sorry Cleo

CLEOPATRA Xigalia [10:26] its ok

Shep Titian [10:26] Go ahead

Moonrise Azalee [10:26] August 17th

CLEOPATRA Xigalia [10:27] ill save it, its about events

Shep Titian [10:27] Ok thank you

Moonrise Azalee [10:28] Moonrise Azalee raises hand

Shep Titian [10:28] Yes Birch August 17th is 8 am ok again?

Moonrise Azalee [10:29] yes… and just wanted to say.. like.. we reprsent the people. what is good for everyone.. right? And i think we need to keep that in mind. Not just what is good for you, or me or whoever but for the general good of all.. its not a win/lose between us. it is honestly trying to consider what will make this place a more desirable place to live, work and play. Done

Ranma Tardis [10:29] motion we adjourn until 17th Aug at 8am sl

Tanoujin Milestone [10:29] second

Ceasar Xigalia [10:30] Ceasar Xigalia claps for Birch

Tanoujin Milestone [10:31] Yes, Birch, I agree. Do you think I am putting forward my personal agenda?

Moonrise Azalee [10:31] no, i think we all do

Shep Titian [10:31] Thank you Birch .. I agree completely

Ranma Tardis [10:31] how does this profit me?

Moonrise Azalee [10:31] while forgetting about trying to make this place a place people want to BE

Shep Titian [10:31] Vote to adjorn

Tanoujin Milestone [10:31] aye

Ranma Tardis [10:31] aye

CLEOPATRA Xigalia [10:31] here here birch !

Moonrise Azalee [10:31] aye

Shep Titian [10:31] Aye

CLEOPATRA Xigalia [10:31] they are here for people not builds

Ranma Tardis [10:32] oh thank you!

Shep Titian [10:32] Yes Cleo but its both

Moonrise Azalee [10:32] all people have different reasons. some for the look of a place, some for the community.. and we cant please all.. but its not like us against them
[10:32] its us for the people

Tanoujin Milestone [10:32] It is true what you say, Birch. But sometimes we need a majority decision

[08:26:45] Soro Dagostino: As do I.
[08:26:58] Ranma Tardis: raises hand
[08:27:29] Shep (shep.titian): All I have here is a confirmation that despite allowing Nolligan a 7 day vote .. the increase in tier remained defeated as Nolligan did’nt vote .. leaving a majority impossible
[08:27:52] Shep (shep.titian): Ranma first
[08:28:15] Rosie Gray whispers: hi Widget
[08:28:19] Shep (shep.titian): Hi Widget
[08:28:23] Ranma Tardis: correct me if I am wrong it was defeated and the supporters accept the outcome
[08:28:26] Widget Whiteberry: shhhh, sorry I’m late
[08:28:46] Lilith Ivory: Hi Widget
[08:28:59] Tor Karlsvalt: Hi Widget
[08:29:23] Shep (shep.titian): The last we were officially qorate You and Tan persuaded me to allow Nolligan a 7 day vote
[08:29:48] Shep (shep.titian): This is the first official meeting to report on it
[08:29:57] Ranma Tardis: nods
[08:30:20] Shep (shep.titian): Cool
[08:30:51] Shep (shep.titian): from the floor Delia?
[08:31:28] Delia Lake: if it remains defeated im fine
[08:32:53] Shep (shep.titian): οΏΌ)) yes it does .. I was just making sure the defeat was official
[08:33:03] Shep (shep.titian): Soro?
[08:33:11] Rosie Gray: Β·Β·β€’Β°β€’Β·Β·..? Applauds! ? ..Β·Β·β€’Β°β€’Β·Β·..
[08:33:21] Birch (moonrise.azalee) grins
[08:33:31] Soro Dagostino: I am of the same opinion as Delisa
[08:33:35] Shep (shep.titian): LOL thank you Rosie
[08:33:39] Soro Dagostino: Delia*
[08:33:46] Rosie Gray: οΏΌ
[08:35:03] Shep (shep.titian): I can’t see Soro typing So Rosie
[08:35:12] Shep (shep.titian): yopu raised a hand
[08:35:49] Rosie Gray: oh sorry raised my hand earlier because I thought of a citizen concern
[08:36:04] Rosie Gray: am I too late?
[08:36:13] Shep (shep.titian): Oh I’m sorry I missed that
[08:36:31] Rosie Gray: well I was a bit late
[08:36:37] Rosie Gray: may I speak to it now?
[08:36:39] Shep (shep.titian): No I’ll allow as this seems finished
[08:36:50] Rosie Gray: okay thanks
[08:37:17] Rosie Gray: I ‘ve noticed that there seems to be a few citizens leaving boxes of stuff for sale
[08:37:27] Rosie Gray: floating around outside of buildings
[08:37:58] Rosie Gray: which isn’t appropriate, so would like a notice sent to them about it
[08:38:42] Shep (shep.titian): Maybe a Land Manager could send a note asking for them to be taken indoors
[08:38:43] Rosie Gray: that’s about it
[08:39:19] Rosie Gray: I thought perhaps it could be reiterated by RA that it is against covenants
[08:40:02] Shep (shep.titian): I think an Estate Manager .. then they can move them if we have people who won’t move them
[08:40:18] Rosie Gray: and I’m not referring to signs that are meant to be there… just either being careless with prims, or deliberately leaving them there
[08:40:31] Noma Falta is offline.
[08:40:39] Pip Torok writes himself a reminder not to leave opened boxes hanging round outside
[08:40:58] Rosie Gray: yes, an estate manager can send them back… just thought an official notice as a reminder would be a good idea
[08:41:24] Rosie Gray: I’m trying not to name a name here
[08:41:29] Birch (moonrise.azalee): boxes for sale are different than just boxes of stuff accidentally left
[08:41:35] Rosie Gray: but there is one person doing this deligberately
[08:41:37] Shep (shep.titian): There has been a gheneral state of people pushing boxes .. sorry … and we need a general tidy up
[08:41:40] Birch (moonrise.azalee): ((eek — sorry for speaking out of turn))
[08:41:58] Ranma Tardis: raises hand
[08:42:04] Rosie Gray: done
[08:42:35] Shep (shep.titian): Ran
[08:43:02] Shep (shep.titian): I hear the name Rosie lol
[08:43:13] Ranma Tardis: correct me if I am wrong, that is an executive function not in the RA lane
[08:44:43] Shep (shep.titian): It is mostly Ran .. but RA makes the laws .. so I think we can join in
[08:44:43] Ranma Tardis: done
[08:44:49] Callipygian Christensen: oops
[08:45:00] Shep (shep.titian): Calli?
[08:45:38] Callipygian Christensen: I managed to TP myself across the sim..noting related to the meeting lol
[08:45:52] Birch (moonrise.azalee) grins
[08:46:24] Shep (shep.titian): hahahahahaha
[08:46:55] Shep (shep.titian): Ok moving on … New business
[08:46:55] Callipygian Christensen: however, if we are on exec and land stuff a moment, can we ask for a clarification of whether setting land to only allow people with payment info on file is within covenants or not?
[08:47:12] Callipygian Christensen: (sorry, Rosie and the boxes jogged my memory)
[08:47:52] Aliasi Stonebender: That’s a good question, although it depends on why it’s being set that way, I’d imagine.
[08:48:27] Shep (shep.titian): Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm I would personally have to look that up .. but that is the only way to pay I believe
[08:48:57] Aliasi Stonebender: Well, no, you can pay with pure linden to the boxes. GETTING linden might be difficult but the trick is possible, i.e. third-party L$ sellers.
[08:48:57] Lilith Ivory: I confess I set a a few group owned parcels this way to deal with some griefers and didnΒ΄t think about changing it back to normal (have to change that soon)
[08:48:58] Tor Karlsvalt: It might be a problem for events.
[08:49:07] Callipygian Christensen: traditonally that is a setting to avoid griefers – but there are other ways to deal with them and the payment info thing seems to fall toward the ‘ban lines’ side of things
[08:49:28] Shep (shep.titian): I know you can’t pay someone elses hippo .. I tried and it refunds you
[08:49:40] Metafictioner: οΏΌ
[08:49:57] Aliasi Stonebender: yes, but it’s not like they can’t hand you the money and you pay, as it were.
[08:50:40] Ranma Tardis: griefing? will someone please pay my meter in Caledon for 8 weeks
[08:50:44] Shep (shep.titian): Yes but the idea is to keep alts from being citizens
[08:50:56] Callipygian Christensen: I am confused – did I miss something that moved us on to hippo boxes?
[08:51:06] Lilith Ivory: I think itΒ΄s an interesting question anyway which settings on private land are allowed and which are not
[08:51:31] Aliasi Stonebender: Just the main reason I could see to worry about that setting is ‘it might fall across the ‘general ban line’ prohibition’.
[08:51:31] Lilith Ivory: as we got a few new setting options lately
[08:51:32] Birch (moonrise.azalee): i dont think i have payment info on file
[08:51:54] Tor Karlsvalt: The covenants do require public access.
[08:52:00] Shep (shep.titian): Yes you do
[08:52:02] Callipygian Christensen: my original question was ‘is setting your land/store to only allow people with payment info on file with LL the same as bn lines, which are not permitted
[08:52:38] Shep (shep.titian): Oh sorry .. my mind went alt!!
[08:53:11] Rosie Gray: no doubt it did!
[08:53:15] Shep (shep.titian): Yes thats like saying I only want people with money
[08:54:04] Lilith Ivory: but what about the setting that only age vertified people are allowed on a parcel?
[08:54:32] Birch (moonrise.azalee): i took payment info off my file for a while due to issues i was having with Paypal. For many months
[08:54:49] Tor Karlsvalt: I think on setting begets another.
[08:54:59] Shep (shep.titian): Ok we don’t have the answer her at this time
[08:55:18] Shep (shep.titian): Can we move on
[08:55:23] Aliasi Stonebender: I’m pretty sure any banline that isn’t a specific user would fall prey to that, but that might be a question for the full SC.
[08:55:32] Aliasi Stonebender: I’ll try to remember to bring it up, next meeting.
[08:55:49] Shep (shep.titian): I’m happy to agenda it
[08:56:22] Shep (shep.titian): Ok new business
[08:58:32] Tor Karlsvalt gets coffee
[08:59:09] Shep (shep.titian): I thought it wise to state in a meeting that the covenants that have been in force in LA remain in force until the rebuild happens .. in the meantime there were a number pof people happy to work on the new ones .. Fern being one … and Rosie I wondered if the guild wanted to form a committee to work them out?
[08:59:51] Ranma Tardis: nods
[08:59:53] Rosie Gray: we could do that, if the RA requests
[09:00:35] Shep (shep.titian): Ok … no squeeking lol
[09:01:18] Callipygian Christensen raises her hand
[09:01:32] Shep (shep.titian): I propose we ask the Guild to form a committee to work out the new covenants for LA
[09:01:38] Ranma Tardis: second
[09:01:47] Shep (shep.titian): Calli
[09:02:34] Callipygian Christensen waits since Ranma has seconded to treat the proposal as a motion?

[09:03:51] Shep (shep.titian): Thank you
[09:03:55] Shep (shep.titian): Calli?

[09:04:54] Callipygian Christensen: done
[09:05:11] Rosie Gray *raises hand*
[09:05:36] Shep (shep.titian): And I will add that I like it very much and am sure Alexia will be happy
[09:05:48] Shep (shep.titian): Rosie
[09:05:56] Birch (moonrise.azalee) makes mental note to self to go take a look
[09:06:17] Pip Torok does the same
[09:06:19] Rosie Gray: yes just wanted to encourage anyone else who has a vision for the sim to also create a map drawing, and we can put it with the other two ideas.
[09:06:44] Rosie Gray: and echo that I like Calli’s too
[09:06:47] Rosie Gray: done
[09:07:23] Tor Karlsvalt likes Callie’s also.
[09:08:02] Shep (shep.titian): Seems we have a secret town developer amongst us οΏΌ

[09:09:51] Shep (shep.titian): 75k needed to advertise CDS on the grid
[09:10:30] Shep (shep.titian): I expected a slough of hands
[09:10:40] Tor Karlsvalt: οΏΌ
[09:10:43] Pip Torok raises hand
[09:12:11] Shep (shep.titian): Ok .. I propose we allow a sum of 75,000 be released to the executive .. for the reason of advertising and promoting the CDS around the grid
[09:12:24] Ranma Tardis: second
[09:12:43] Shep (shep.titian): Vote
[09:12:47] Ranma Tardis: aye

[09:13:44] Birch (moonrise.azalee): give me a quick sec
[09:13:53] Callipygian Christensen: umm..Pip raised his hand back there?
[09:14:08] Pip Torok: imo a wise expenditure of 75000 will concentrate on 1. democracy its principles and virtues ..2, the community at present her and 3. the looknfeel of our sims .. done
[09:14:10] Shep (shep.titian): Pip
[09:14:34] Rosie Gray: οΏΌ
[09:15:01] Tor Karlsvalt: Well, always fun to have money to spend. I may need suggestions as to ad content and help creating ads.

[09:15:23] Shep (shep.titian): Ok passed

[09:22:11] Ranma Tardis: aye
[09:22:27] Callipygian Christensen raises her hand on a point of order
[09:23:03] Shep (shep.titian): Caslli
[09:24:32] Callipygian Christensen: Just as a moment to point out something – while this item has been discussed in the past it is not actually ON today’s agenda, so any citizen or the SC could, if they chose, challenge the validity of the vote. Since it HAS been discussed before I can’t see that happening, but I suggest strongly that anything you plan to vote on, whether you are calling it a proposal or motion, be on the agenda o the populace is aware.
[09:25:10] Shep (shep.titian): Yes Dean apologies
[09:25:23] Birch (moonrise.azalee): Voting now —- Aye

Shep Titian [08:15] Can I ask .. are any of you thinking of standing in the election?
[08:15] Jos .. you are always keen

Tor Karlsvalt [08:15] Tor Karlsvalt looks down at his shoes.

Jamie Palisades [08:15] To whom are you directing this question?

Shep Titian [08:15] THe room Jamie

josjoha Resident [08:15] me ??? oh no

Pip Torok [08:16] Pip Torok thinks we need a little more notice of that question

Shep Titian [08:16] I’m not standing next time

Ludo Merit [08:16] I can’t get on the forum so I don’t know these ‘reminders’

Rosie Gray [08:16] ?

Shep Titian [08:16] I’ve heard that Tan may be taking a break .. Nolli has no net coverage
[08:17] Hi Rosy

Rosie Gray [08:17] hi Shep

Ranma Tardis [08:17] am reading the post

Tor Karlsvalt [08:17] Nolli was able to get on yesterday for a short time.

Pip Torok [08:17] can the meeting join me in thanking Shep for her har yet humorous handling of the difficult job of LRA?

Moonrise Azalee [08:18] Moonrise Azalee can’t believe it’s that time again

Shep Titian [08:18] How do I give you notice of a Question without telling you the question?

Moonrise Azalee [08:18] Yes! Big thanks to you Shep

Rosie Gray [08:18] absolutely, thank you Shep!

Shep Titian [08:19] WEll thanks .. I’ve mostly enjoyed it

Tor Karlsvalt [08:19] Tor Karlsvalt gives shep a hearty thanks and wishes best for the next two months.

Jamie Palisades [08:19] Yes, thanks Shep. Hmm. I can’t quite tell, Mme. LRA, whether there are rules here for who speaks when, anymore — but it occurs to me that CDS rules are *not* very good at dealing with situations when a low number of candidates results in stalemate or stasis. Anyone working on that?

Shep Titian [08:19]

Ranma Tardis [08:19] what about the post Shep?

Callipygian Christensen [08:20] Jamie – other than the secret plan to declare me Empress for Life, no.

Moonrise Azalee [08:20] Moonrise Azalee grins

Tor Karlsvalt [08:20] haha

Jamie Palisades [08:20] But you look GOOD in a tiara, Calli.

josjoha Resident [08:20] Jamie: yes, I have just proposed a new Constitution for CDS on the forums

Tor Karlsvalt [08:20] That was a secret plan?

Soro Dagostino [08:20] Well, I thought you were?

Jamie Palisades [08:20] ANyway, didn’t we already do that with Gwyn when she was the SC?

Callipygian Christensen [08:20] I do indeed

Shep Titian [08:20] OK .. back to business

Jamie Palisades [08:20] It’s your classical features.
[08:21] Oh – sorry – was there some? I thought you asked about elections.

Shep Titian [08:22] OK .. back to business
[08:22] I’m sorry Jamie am I boring you?
[08:23] I will assume that you all know how to ensure you can vote

Jamie Palisades [08:23] Not at all. I was rtting to respond to your questions. Is it not time for that? I would’;t want to be boring either.

Ludo Merit [08:23] not me

Jamie Palisades [08:23] Jamie Palisades sits back happily and waits politely

Shep Titian [08:24] Oop too late
[08:24] Ok .. I just wanted to remind everyone
[08:25] Let me just add I did’nt think this meeting was going to happen
[08:26] I was told that Ranma was boycotting future meetings to force us to be inquorate .. so I did’nt sask around

Ranma Tardis [08:26] Well to be honest it has to do with American politics

Jamie Palisades [08:26]

Rosie Gray [08:27] Rosie Gray wonders why American politics have anything to do with the CDS

Shep Titian [08:27] Only by asking last night did I discover she was coming .. but that left no time for business to be declared 24 hours in advance

Ranma Tardis [08:27] the skinny is I do not want to act like a Tea Party Republican having a tantrum

Shep Titian [08:28] I was explaining why this meeting is cobbled together
[08:28] Moving on

Ranma Tardis [08:28] explaining why I am here

Soro Dagostino [08:28] The issue really is one of finding a way to replace members of the RA who cannot fulfill their terms.

Shep Titian [08:28] Moving on

Jamie Palisades [08:29] Soro, you’d think that would be under discussion, yes

Shep Titian [08:29] Now lag

Soro Dagostino [08:29] In many groups, missing more than 3 meetings allows the body to replace the member.

josjoha Resident [08:29] josjoha Resident notices this problem might not occur in proposed new election system

Pip Torok [08:29] Pip Torok agrees with soro and wonders whether one reserve RA member might be the way to go …

Soro Dagostino [08:30] Jos, what proposal.

Jamie Palisades [08:30] Sorry, madame moderator or whatever – are we *talking* about that issue now or not?
[08:30] (Wouldn;t want to bore you otherwise.)

Shep Titian [08:30] Sorry my post has vanished it seems

josjoha Resident [08:30] Soro: I’ve posted a Constitution for CDS on the forum, it has an election system where voters group and by having a minimum they immediately have one representative, and only one, that they can replace any moment (with apologies to the chair)

Shep Titian [08:31] Ranma . would you like to open the discussion on Covenants?

Jamie Palisades [08:31] (URL Link, josjoha?)

josjoha Resident [08:32] ((franticly searching Jamie … sec … big thank u for interest !!))

Ranma Tardis [08:32] sure they have become so restrictive it takes a professional to have a chance of making an “approved” build.

Shep Titian [08:32] Would you two like to talk in IM
[08:32] Jos and Jamie

josjoha Resident [08:32] viewtopic.php?f=7&t=4114 (a Constitution)

Ranma Tardis [08:33] the founding principles was that there was a lot of latitude in builds. It has to do with our principle of freedom

josjoha Resident [08:33] (sorry chairman)
[08:33] josjoha Resident *raises hand*

Shep Titian [08:34] THx Jos

Ranma Tardis [08:34] things have gotten so bad that the cds is becoming a showroom for content proveders and no a community

Pip Torok [08:34] raises hand

Jamie Palisades [08:34] Jamie Palisades chuckles. Me too. Raising hand.

Shep Titian [08:35] Pip after Ran is done

Ranma Tardis [08:35] I propose we change the language so strict interpretation is removed and we return to founding principles.
[08:35] thank you

Ludo Merit [08:35] Ludo Merit tentatively raises hand.

Moonrise Azalee [08:35] raises hand

Shep Titian [08:35] Pip then Jamie then Ludo
[08:35] Pip

Ranma Tardis [08:36] am done

Pip Torok [08:37] I refute the assertion that a _professional_ is needed to read a covenant … to me they are clarity itself … and i assert that what ranma calls liberalisation wd result in a slummy and squalid mess .. Kowloon is a good example … done

Shep Titian [08:37] Thank you Pip
[08:37] Jamie?

Jamie Palisades [08:38] thanks.
[08:38] I always thought that a key draw of DCDS was the sheer visual look — and a more or less unified set of themes. Look at AM – lots of variables give room for lots of expression — but we are NOT Caledon with random floating skypunk stemawhatevers and nbeon As a result our vacancy rate has always been LOWER than Caledon’s Still is, based on what I roughly know – and would be even more so if Des had not closed sims at will.
[08:38] I don;t agree that covenant free building would improve CDS.
[08:38] WEe have mainland for that.
[08:38] A few Roman era enthusiasts wanted RA. The faction in piower ghave it to them, It has never sold well., Its theme is therefore flawed, in the sense of econonmically proven failure. Calli has a proposal to replace it.

Tor Karlsvalt [08:39] Tor Karlsvalt raises hand.

Jamie Palisades [08:39] SHould that not be the focus of debate? Thanks, done.

Shep Titian [08:40] Jos did I miss you?

josjoha Resident [08:40] SHep: yes, but it’s ok, put me after Ludo & Tor is fine, thx : )

Shep Titian [08:40] SDorry Ludo he shoul;d have been first

Ranma Tardis [08:40] raises hand

Shep Titian [08:41] Ludo please
[08:41] Then Jos

Ludo Merit [08:42] I like the idea of themed sims. I am a good test case. I am not a professional builder. I just asked foir approval on NFS and expect to get it. My first effort was not approved and it conformed to what the covenant said in every particular. I was then told I had to use a fachwerk texture, and that is not in the covenant. I don’t object to themes but I do object to unwritten covenants. If my place is approved as it is now it would prove that it doesn’t take a pro to build something acceptable.
[08:43] Done foir noiw

Shep Titian [08:43] Thanks Ludo .. Jos then Tor

josjoha Resident [08:44] On the general topic: I concur that covenants should be strict to create an harmonic atmosphere that is realistic; but all within reason (not to harp excessively on a wood/stone texture to be perfectly archeologically accurate). As an example of Covenant: there is a parcel in NFS (far side of town from here) in which someone has build a Greek god on a pole, with a temple and an amphitheater; these devices are not Bavarian-mid-eaval. If they would be there at all, they would probably be in ruins. Mid-eaval bavaria was strongly into the jesus religion at the time, ty. Perhaps Tor can enforce NFS Covenant on the parcel ? thanks done.

Shep Titian [08:45] Thanks Jos
[08:45] Tor then Birch then Ran

Tor Karlsvalt [08:45] Since we are discussing covenants, I must say that I have always tried to strike a balance between strictness and freedom. IMO some of those who are most vocal on this have build building in bad faith only to cause controversy. And the community seems to let itself get drawn into public fights that are best handled privately. I do not refer to Ludo here. .
[08:47] I note that some builds have been in poor taste, poorly constructed and out of theme.
[08:47] Their only purpose was to make a political statement.
[08:47] In time these have been dealt with.
[08:47] done

Pip Torok [08:47] (hear hear!)

Shep Titian [08:48] Thanks Tor .. Birch .. then Ran

Jamie Palisades [08:48] Amen. It’s a tough job, and one not best done by pogrom.

Rosie Gray [08:48] Rosie Gray nods

josjoha Resident [08:49] Justice is best served in public, creating jurisprudence and transparency…

Moonrise Azalee [08:50] I just wanted to say that I am definiitely not a pro, and my first two homes i built here in CN and in LA, I asked for lots of input from Rosie and others. I didn’t find it hard per sec but I did find a bit of confusion. I think that having somewhat of a ‘strict’ guideline , as long as enforced for all builds including ones from the past, is good for the over all area. I personally feel a very strong sense of community, you can tell by the way we all bicker.

Rosie Gray [08:50] ?

Shep Titian [08:50]

Moonrise Azalee [08:50] I do think also it would be nice to have back up prefabs for the oddly shaped areas so that those who arent up for a building challenge, yet who want to swap out paper thin alpha walled exisitng homes, have a pre approved variety of choice.
[08:51] I also personally take just as much issue to places in the centres of NFS and CN, left empty
[08:51] i know thats not the topic here ut it contributes to the sometimes dismal-ish look
[08:51] done

Shep Titian [08:52] Thanks .. Ranma

Ranma Tardis [08:52] Am looking at the covenant for Neuf
[08:52] The city of Neufreistadt is modeled after a medieval Bavarian city with a surrounding valley. The time period is indeterminate.

Pip Torok [08:52] Pip Torok agrees about the dismal emptiness …

Soro Dagostino [08:53] sorry all, RL calls.

Ranma Tardis [08:53] There is nothing that it be preindustrial but only of the materials and design

Shep Titian [08:54] e Soro

Ranma Tardis [08:54] we were never meant to be a historical group of sims
[08:55] I do not advocake making the convalescents too weak but like real cities there is always the exception.

Pip Torok [08:55] Pip Torok respectively gegs to differ .. how can a mediaeval theme be anything but pre-industrial?

Ranma Tardis [08:55] right now a very few citizens are forcing their will on the majority.

Shep Titian [08:55] Pip please no one interupted you

Ranma Tardis [08:56] I would like to extend and revise my remarks
[08:57] Perhaps it needs to be rewritten to be “preindustrial” we would have to build them only like pre 1700
[08:57] the sims in reality would look like a slum
[08:58] you are taking a single passage and are wagging the dog with it
[08:58] again first part
[08:58] The city of Neufreistadt is modeled after a medieval Bavarian city with a surrounding valley. The time period is indeterminate.
[08:58] since it is first it overrides the second

Shep Titian [08:58] ??

Ranma Tardis [08:59] I advocate tolerance but not making the mainland or Caledon. As a Peer of Caledon take insults as a personal insult.
[08:59] done

Shep Titian [09:00] Modelled after a medieval Bavarian city .. then that’s what it should look like

Jamie Palisades [09:00] Jamie Palisades grins, raises hand

Shep Titian [09:01] There are so many off covenant bits here and there that are tolerated Ran
[09:01] Loads of them

Ludo Merit [09:01] Ludo Merit raises hand

josjoha Resident [09:01] josjoha Resident *raises hand*

Shep Titian [09:01] Jos

josjoha Resident [09:02] If there are off covenant bits tolerated, as you say and i have heard from others: I hope these bits & pieces can be brought in line of the Covenant, or the Covenant be expanded; otherwise we will erode the law. thanks done.

Rosie Gray [09:03] Rosie Gray raises hand

Shep Titian [09:03] I understand for the most part they are grandfathered
[09:04] But as buildings are replaced they can be cleaned up

josjoha Resident [09:04] josjoha Resident raises hand

Shep Titian [09:04] Jos
[09:05] oop sorry Rosy was in IM

josjoha Resident [09:05] Ludo raised her hand before me, and so did Rosie. thx

Jamie Palisades [09:05] Jamie Palisades smiles, raises his again, just in case.

Shep Titian [09:05] OK Not answering any IMs
[09:05] Jamie

Jamie Palisades [09:06] Thank yhou.
[09:06] Ranma, I would never diss Caledon, a place run by an old friend of mind — and of CDS — who unofficially apprenticed HERE first, by the way. I attend and support their events and lived there for years — until my home sim there was closed — Ranma, you were resident there too — but CDN is simply an inappropriate model for CDS. Run differently, based on equally-valid but different models and goals.
[09:06] Jos, I think you have a valid point but the way we *usually* have successfully dealt with such thigns is — quiet intervention with the Chancellor first, THEN a decision, THEN a debate IF someone’s sitll unhappy. That makes for less fractiouslness
[09:06] DOne, thanks

Shep Titian [09:07] Thank you Ludo

Pip Torok [09:07] raises hand

Ludo Merit [09:07] [whispers] I just wanted to say a couple of things.
[09:08] I just wante dto say a couple of things

Rosie Gray [09:09] Rosie Gray raises hand

Ludo Merit [09:09] I am not against reasonable theme requirements. I am against applying them unfairly to some and not to others.

Shep Titian [09:09] Josd

Ludo Merit [09:09] So far I have seen some evidence of that but am not sure yet that it’s a serious problem, though I’m told it is
[09:09] Oh, am I supposed to be done?

Shep Titian [09:10] Then I’m going Rosie Pip as she asked and I missed her

josjoha Resident [09:10] i defer to Rosie, who was first i think, please; ah ok Ludo, continue

Shep Titian [09:10] Jos take the place you asre given after Ludo
[09:10] then its RTosie and Pip

josjoha Resident [09:11] Ok, I concur with Jamie that it’s appropriate to start small and then beat louder on the drum if an issue is not resolved,

Ludo Merit [09:11] And I want to mention that ‘time indeterminate’ has allowed solar panels and a roof garden on NFS, and I don’t think it looks too bad.
[09:11] Done

josjoha Resident [09:12] however we are here now to debate it, and the violation in NFS other side of town seems quite extreme to me, it’s a ancient Greek build, it says so itself, even rezzed under an ancient Rome group. Tor did not reply what he is planning, i would like to ask how Tor likes to proceed in the matter, thanks. done.

Tor Karlsvalt [09:12] Tor Karlsvalt raises hand.

Shep Titian [09:12] Rosie

Rosie Gray [09:13] may I defer to Tor to answer the question first?

Ranma Tardis [09:13] raises hand

Shep Titian [09:13] Tor
[09:14] then Rosie then Pip then Ranma

Tor Karlsvalt [09:15] First, with regard to the Roman temple in NFS. It is my understanding that the temple was a temporary building exercise and is to be replaced this weekend or so. Also, I have talked to a neighbor of the the temple who finds the build tolerable given its temporary nature.
[09:15] Second

Ludo Merit [09:16] Ludo Merit raises hand

Shep Titian [09:16] after Ranma Ludo

Tor Karlsvalt [09:16] At times building are within the covenant, but perhaps not well liked by neighbors. Some have ed builders with their houses. This is not the government engaging in unfair treatment.

josjoha Resident [09:17] josjoha Resident raises hand

Tor Karlsvalt [09:17] Regarding NFS
[09:17] In my memory here, NFS has had a wide range of styles.
[09:17] I remember a bauhaus build when I arrived.
[09:18] I think there was a victorian house also.

Jamie Palisades [09:18] Jamie Palisades tries to block out the memory of that concrete block house from the nice Quaker fellow.

Tor Karlsvalt [09:18] As far as I can tell, as long as he houses fit the landscape and are of natural materials, they are allowed.
[09:18] done
[09:18] ah

Shep Titian [09:19] Rosie

Rosie Gray [09:19] thanks…

Shep Titian [09:19] then pip then Ran then Jamie

Rosie Gray [09:20] I think that the covenants are quite clear for the sims
[09:20] and give a reasonable amount of leaway for creativity
[09:21] I think that some of these issues have arisen because of the grandfathered builds that were let to slide from a long time ago

Jamie Palisades [09:21] ((I’ll pass, this turn, I think, Shep. BRB.))

Shep Titian [09:21] ok Jamie

Rosie Gray [09:21] and that as new builds are created, they should conform to the covenants
[09:22] we shouldn’t be letting new builds not conform, because that just perpetuates the problem

Moonrise Azalee [09:22] Moonrise Azalee reluctantly raises her hand also

Shep Titian [09:22] Cheers Rosie

Rosie Gray [09:22] but I want concerned people who want to build their own places and don’t have a lot of experience

Shep Titian [09:22] After Ran Birch

Rosie Gray [09:22] to know that they are always welcome to request advise and from the Artisan’s Guild

Moonrise Azalee [09:23] Moonrise Azalee nods.

Rosie Gray [09:23] we are there to …

Tor Karlsvalt [09:23] my appolgies, I have to go to the platz for a moment.

Shep Titian [09:23] ok Tor

Tor Karlsvalt [09:23] brb

Rosie Gray [09:24] and that as a less experienced builder, you can take it as an opportunity to get better at your building, so you’ll be better able to make both what you want and what will aesthetically please your neighbours
[09:24] and fit the covenants
[09:24] I feel that we should try to work together instead of at odds with one another
[09:24] done

Shep Titian [09:24] thanks Rosie and agree
[09:24] Pip

Pip Torok [09:26] to speakers who feel that a _minority_ are trying to force their strictures upon a majority Id like to say that a vote is the means of confirming or otherwise that thought … done

Shep Titian [09:26] thanks Pip .. Ranma

Callipygian Christensen [09:27] Callipygian Christensen raises her hand

Ranma Tardis [09:28] okies think that people are forcing a fantasy version of reality on people

Shep Titian [09:28] Calli after Birch

Ranma Tardis [09:28] am going to rez a picture of a roman yes roman building in the Rhineland

josjoha Resident [09:29] raised hand
[09:30] there are amphitheaters and ruins of temples in Bavaria

Shep Titian [09:30] What is the point Ranma?

Ranma Tardis [09:31] this was constructed log before the era and there are others as well. What I see is some want to create a sim of perfect builds to make themselves happy

Rosie Gray [09:31] Rosie Gray raises hand

Shep Titian [09:31] Are you done Ran?

Ranma Tardis [09:31] that in the real world there is no 100 percent anything
[09:31] coughs

Shep Titian [09:32] Rosie theres Bircg and Calli first

Ranma Tardis [09:33] there should be a way to replace not strictly themed buildings. otherwise the sims look like the theme park “Busch Gardens” in the USA and completely fake
[09:34] I ask for tolerance not throwing the rules away. What is happening now sounds like the purification plan of a recent German government..

Shep Titian [09:34] Too far Ranma

Ranma Tardis [09:34] we have to respect others as is stated in our Constitution.

Tor Karlsvalt [09:35] Tor Karlsvalt Raises hand.

Ranma Tardis [09:35] Maybe Shep but I am talking

Shep Titian [09:35] RL gov’ts have town planning

Ranma Tardis [09:35] Shep can I finish?

Shep Titian [09:36] Go ahead

Ranma Tardis [09:37] The thing is what the minority wants is a “theme park” look. I propose we let the next election cycle decide
[09:37] thank you
[09:37] done

Shep Titian [09:37] Thanks Birch then Calli

josjoha Resident [09:37] raised hand

Rosie Gray [09:37] Rosie Gray coughs

Shep Titian [09:38] Rosie you were after Calli .. it has taken that long

Rosie Gray [09:38] ?

Moonrise Azalee [09:38] ok well 1) I admit that once we are putting control panels on tops of houses that are modeled after a meieval bavarian city it gets confusing. Do panels count as building material? the window stucture has to be old, the siding, the roof.. .but solar panels are okay? yes i find that odd in the way the covenant states.
[09:38] 2nd

Shep Titian [09:39] Jos after Rosie

Moonrise Azalee [09:39] The temple.. not sure who built it, but without stepping on toes lest that person be here, regardless of what the neighbours of the temple think, how does that look for people who come here, looking to live here because of the amazing community, its history and lush backdrops… so then they put a lighthouse on a ledge over the water, because it looks nice but is totally not in theme…

josjoha Resident [09:40] ty

Moonrise Azalee [09:40] each thing we do here, especially in builds that are being focused toward the public, should reflect the integrity of our commitment to this place. a bit of hard work and effort…
[09:42] i really think all builds need to be brought up to snuff and if solar panels are going to be allowed on homes in NFS, then we really need to look at the covenant and figure out a way to have that make sense. to me ‘built to look like a mideval bavarian villafe of an undetermined time ‘ means like.. any years within the medieval period… point being.. it should be brought across the board. too much confusion. Done.

Shep Titian [09:42] YThanks Birch .. Calli

Tor Karlsvalt [09:42] Tor Karlsvalt raises hand higher.

Callipygian Christensen [09:42] Thankyou . This is rather dejavuish since in fall of 2011 Trebor tried to find aan officer to enforce covenants. I am reposting something I wrote on the Forums then since here we are 2 years later, at it again, and my comments still apply. (large block of quoted text coming)

Shep Titian [09:43] Tor you’re after first Rosie then Jos

Tor Karlsvalt [09:43] thanks

Callipygian Christensen [09:43] Personally there are a number of the covenant requirements that I could’nt care less about, and probably wouldn’t even notice are a contravention – I am guessing that is true of many of us, and means those contraventions don’t get reported in any prescribed time. In other cases, back in the mists of time, a Chancellor may have given permission for the variance making the build ‘legal’. Others see it, follow suit, and aren’t even aware they are not in compliance.
As an example, look at Neufriestadt. One simple line in the covenants states that inside the city walls ‘ all plots must have a building’. The last time I walked around there were 4 or 5 plots with no building on the ground, and one with a beehive.
[09:43] A new resident walking through the city and deciding to buy a plot would probably assume that it will be ok to remove that fachwerk sitting on it, because others have clearly done so. If a beehive is ok, then perhaps a pen of chickens will be ok to
[09:44] Sooner or later someone will ask the Chancellor to act about one of these non-compliant plots, whether as a result of an aesthetic desire for improvement or a desire to harrass the owner – at that point the Chancellor must act. It’s a rock and a hard place – if the Chancellor enforces the rules, the resident who must bring their build into compliance points out that this isn’t fair, since a number of others aren’t following the Covenants either.If the Chancellor doesn’t the person filing the complaint will probably be squawking on the Forums that s/he isn’t doing her job or is playing favourites.
[09:44] So if we are going to have Covenants, they need to be monitored and enforced consistently. If we do not want such precise and detailed Covenants, then follow due process to get them changed. As others have pointed out in different threads, the ‘majority’ may now be a different set of people than in the past. I don’t necessarily agree with that observation, but if it is accurate, changing the Covenants is well within their rights and abilities.
[09:45] Personally, I would support a 90 day ‘bring your plots and builds up to covenant’ request from the Chancellor’s office. No grandfathering, no exceptions. If the residents were to do this voluntarily, then there really wouldn’t be a need for enforcement officers – but I am not holding my breathe on that
[09:45] -end of quoted text-

Moonrise Azalee [09:45] Moonrise Azalee nods in firm agreement of that ancient but well expressed post

Tor Karlsvalt [09:45] Thanks

Pip Torok [09:45] (and so does Pip)

Tor Karlsvalt [09:46] First, with regard to NFS.

Rosie Gray [09:46] ahem

Callipygian Christensen [09:46] earlier this year when Bagheera was concerned about covenants I posted this:http://forums.slcds.info/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=4023&p=20474&hilit=+covenant#p20474
[09:46] suggesting *how* our covenants are written in the tabs is part of the problem – again I suggest that it still applies. Thak you – done.

Shep Titian [09:46] Calli are you done?

Ranma Tardis [09:46] raises hand for closing statement

Tor Karlsvalt [09:47] When the covenants were rewritten in 2011 there was an attempt to make them clear and the description of NFS as a POST MODERN medieval Bavarian Village was ommited.
[09:47] sorry cally
[09:47] I didn’t mean to intrude on your space.

Shep Titian [09:47] Sorry ok Rosie

Rosie Gray [09:47] Tor you are after me and Jos

Tor Karlsvalt [09:47] ohok
[09:47] sorry to all

Shep Titian [09:48] Yes Jos wioll be next

josjoha Resident [09:48] ty
[09:48] The NFS Greek temple violation (to Tor): I notice these weeks where a special time in NFS with the house-tour which also passed the out of theme temples. I propose that the RA passes a guideline if necessary that buildings that are flagrantly out of theme are not allowed to persist past the opportunity to remove them; perhaps with a 2 day deadline to the builder. Sand boxes are for excercises..
[09:48] Theme strictness (in reply to Ranma): There is also ample of ancient Rome in the CDS already. Ranma says there are Roman ruins in Bavaria, this is true; however how many are there, did every small Bavarian village have them; it seems doubtful, secondly they would likely be in ruined not new state. Also there is already a heavy Roman precence in CDS, the idea that “Roman things can be visible in med-eaval Bavaria” is well provided for by the view on the Roman sims. When one says “desert theme,” does one rezz an oil refinery, because there are oil refineries in some deserts ?
[09:49] I prefer a theme-park look, to a mainland look. But I think that Ranma has a good point: the NFS village for example is somewhat homogenious ? Where are the farms ? Where are the homes that aren’t fachwerk (wasn’t fachwerk for the well-to-do ?). Where are the swines, the oxen, the stinking runoff. The middle ages had a lot of fun to offer. In the same way the Roman sims all show the upper aristocracy their palaces; in reality there was more small places, poor dwellings, also farms, all kinds. The selection within the theme seems narrow, giving that theme-park look ?
[09:50] I concur with Birch, maybe we can have “Covenant compliance month” to give citizens a chance to comply debatable choices, and then do a strict review. thanks, done.
[09:50] ty (sorry for length)

Rosie Gray [09:50] thanks Shep… okay I agree with Calli’s post, but I did want to say that I do think that Ranma was right about the ancient Roman build being okay because a medieval town would have come AFTER the Roman build, and would have incorporated it into the city. This is true to life so I don’t see what the problem would have been with that.
[09:50] Jos, you took my place

josjoha Resident [09:50] oh sorry, i heard “Jos is next” (by the way, i had my hand raised a long time and was passed over once or twice)

Rosie Gray [09:51] np

josjoha Resident [09:51] ty

Shep Titian [09:51] Rosie now!

Tor Karlsvalt [09:51]

Rosie Gray [09:51] but the point is, that what came before would no doubt still be there
[09:52] and you are right Jos, they would not be like new, they would be old… not necessarily ruins, but old
[09:52] it is common sense and I don’t understand what the issue is around that

josjoha Resident [09:52] josjoha Resident nods

Rosie Gray [09:52] but I did want to clarify one point that Ranma brought up
[09:52] Ranma, you seem to equate ‘perfect’ builds with questions of theme
[09:53] and to me that doesn’t make sense
[09:53] the idea of ‘perfect’ would mean something created that looks realistic…
[09:53] it’s not a matter of the theme
[09:54] so I would ask that you consider using more specific words when you are talking about these issues because using general language makes it hard to understand what you really mean
[09:54] done

Shep Titian [09:54] Thanks Rosie

Tor Karlsvalt [09:54] Thank you Ms. LRA

Shep Titian [09:54] Tor

Tor Karlsvalt [09:55] Sorry for intruding earlier, I lost my place

Shep Titian [09:55] You and me both

Tor Karlsvalt [09:55] RE NFS, I would suggest that we insert the older description of NFS as a post modern medieval city.
[09:56] I belived this was overlooked when the covenants were rewritten.
[09:56] Second, I do not seek a pure sim.
[09:56] CDS is quirky in that we have themes but live in the modern world. We are not RP.
[09:57] In my mind, we marry the themes to what we like to do.

Rosie Gray [09:57] Rosie Gray nods enthusiastically

Tor Karlsvalt [09:57] Sports, or events often have aspects that are anachronistic.

Jamie Palisades [09:58] Jamie Palisades smiles at that and dons his old NFS rugby football shirt

Tor Karlsvalt [09:58] We need to find some language that permits this in order to stop incessant sniping about minor aspects of bilds.
[09:58] done

Shep Titian [09:58] Thanks Tor
[09:59] IO like the idea of a concerted clean up .. if the chancellor and the guild did it together

Ludo Merit [10:00] Point of order. Guild?

Shep Titian [10:01] The Artisan Guild

Ludo Merit [10:01] Thanks

Shep Titian [10:01] Sorry

Ranma Tardis [10:01] question

Shep Titian [10:01] Yesa Ran ?

Ranma Tardis [10:02] How will this “clean up” be done. You can only return the entire build.

josjoha Resident [10:02] raises hand

Shep Titian [10:03] No Ran most things allow you to mod them

Ranma Tardis [10:04] other peoples builds?

Shep Titian [10:04] Well they would have to do it if they were the creator

Ranma Tardis [10:04] what if they do not?

Tor Karlsvalt [10:05] Tor Karlsvalt cna’t let the old men of NFS sit here unchallenged.

Shep Titian [10:05] No one is going around physically forcing change

Jamie Palisades [10:05]

Shep Titian [10:06] Did you raise your hand?
[10:06] I saw JKos

josjoha Resident [10:06] to the idea of Tor & to have a theme but with quirkyness of our weird ways: perhaps we could say the buildings-proper (roof/walls/*) must be strictly in theme, but a different wider theme is set for things like chairs, vehicles ? or vehicles up to 1700, and smaller items (chairs) up to 1900 ???
[10:07] somehow we need a law that is clear & clean, enforceable, enforced
[10:07] ty done

Shep Titian [10:08] Things inside don’t need to be in theme

josjoha Resident [10:08] (yes i mean, outside)

Shep Titian [10:08] ok

josjoha Resident [10:09] we risk sortof a steam-punk look, i’m personally not too liking it to go into the industrial age
[10:09] in NFS

Tor Karlsvalt [10:10] Tor Karlsvalt raises hand

Shep Titian [10:11] Tor
[10:11] afk a sec Birch in charge

Tor Karlsvalt [10:11] thanks

Moonrise Azalee [10:11] noooo
[10:11] ( )

Tor Karlsvalt [10:13] Oh I just wanted to mention that the temple in NFS has been removed. It was merely a building exercise and totally temporary. I think I will add that one of CDSs great functions is the nurturing of good builders. We can maintain a beautiful sim and still provide or allow students of building opportunities. We are all better for it.
[10:13] done

Callipygian Christensen [10:13] (I see tor typing – but suggest we move things along here? This meeting is past 2 hours already)

Moonrise Azalee [10:14] Thank you Torm and yes, this meeting has certainly grown long
[10:14] Moonrise Azalee looks over agenda
[10:14] Do we have commission reports?

josjoha Resident [10:14] *applauds Tor’s enthusiastic law enforcements* οΏΌ

Tor Karlsvalt [10:16] oh can I add just one more thing if we are wrapping up
[10:16] ?

Moonrise Azalee [10:16] Yes Tor

Tor Karlsvalt [10:16] Just want to reminde everyone we have Engrama here at 1PM
[10:16] should be a good show

Moonrise Azalee [10:16] Moonrise Azalee grins
[10:16] Moonrise Azalee wants to go in to work late so i can catch them first

Tor Karlsvalt [10:17] at 50 Biscuits here at 8PM this evening
[10:17] Tomorrow we have the Ball.
[10:17] at noon
[10:17] With our wonderful Callie as DJ.

Callipygian Christensen [10:17] oh..50 Biscuits are a lot of country fun

Tor Karlsvalt [10:17] Now I am done.

Moonrise Azalee [10:17] Thank you Tor.

Jamie Palisades [10:17] Jamie Palisades smiles

Moonrise Azalee [10:17] Do we have commission reports?

Shep Titian [10:18] back

Moonrise Azalee [10:18] wb!

Shep Titian [10:18] ty
[10:18] no commissions

Jamie Palisades [10:19] Jamie Palisades stands, nods, sorry that I must run, cheers all.

josjoha Resident [10:19] Jamie

Shep Titian [10:19] do you want to giove a exec statement Tor?

Moonrise Azalee [10:19] Jamie

Pip Torok [10:19] Janie

Shep Titian [10:19] Jamioe

Pip Torok [10:19] Jamie!

Tor Karlsvalt [10:19] ok ok
[10:19] but this will be short

Shep Titian [10:19] good

Tor Karlsvalt [10:20] We seem to be doing well with Oktoberfest. Some of you have had good fun

Moonrise Azalee [10:20] Moonrise Azalee grins

Tor Karlsvalt [10:20] We are now in our 10th year. We had our 9th anniversary Sept 21st
[10:21] So no matter what our disagreements, I think we have achieved a great thing.
[10:21] I now I have been honored to serve as Chancellor.
[10:22] Financially, most of our parcels in the four sims excluding LA
[10:22] are sold

Shep Titian [10:22] and a very good job Tor

josjoha Resident [10:22] wew!

Tor Karlsvalt [10:22] Also, we think we can begin with the ad campaign push after the fest.
[10:23] I admit I have been so busy with the fest that this has gotten pushed back.
[10:23] But Widget has some good ideas and we will look at other options.
[10:23] done

Shep Titian [10:24] ok … we need to get on with LA as well
[10:24] ok next meeting
[10:25] Oct 19 or 26?

Moonrise Azalee [10:25] October 12th?

Shep Titian [10:25] two weeks?

Moonrise Azalee [10:25] isnt it every two weeks?

Ranma Tardis [10:25] np

Shep Titian [10:25] no once a month is the requirement

Moonrise Azalee [10:26] oh
[10:26] i thought wed been meeting every two weeks
[10:26] was falling into a routine,

RA Meeting 26 October 2013

October 26, 2013

Shep Titian [08:08] Ok .. well we are quorate so we will begin
[08:08] Calling the meeting to order
[08:08] Hi Calli

Callipygian Christensen [08:08] Callipygian Christensen waves

Soro Dagostino [08:09] Soro Dagostino waves at Calli

Lilith Ivory [08:09] HI Rosie, Hi Calli

Shep Titian [08:09] Ok Birch approves the agenda as stated .. Ranma do you aprove the agenda?

Rosie Gray [08:09] ?

Soro Dagostino [08:09] Soro Dagostino Rosie too

Ranma Tardis [08:09] aye
[08:10] I move to approve the agenda
[08:10] am off this am

Shep Titian [08:10] Speakers on todays agenda items are Rosie Gray .. representing the Guild
[08:11] Ok Any citizens concerns other than the item on agenda?

Bagheera Kristan [08:11] raises hand

Shep Titian [08:11] Bags

Bagheera Kristan [08:12] At Gwyn’s last meeting, it came out that I – as RA Archivist – was supposed to be extracting laws as they were passed and posting them… I didn’t know I was supposed to be doing that, so I am currently going through the transcripts and doing that now just for the record
[08:13] trying to get all the laws current
[08:13] I expect to have that done this week
[08:13] done

Pip Torok [08:14] Pip Torok hopes we’ll all be instant lawyers for the election …

Shep Titian [08:14] Awww thank you Bags … I don’t think we changed anything important this last session … we’ve been focussed on building

Bagheera Kristan [08:14] yes

Shep Titian [08:15] Anyone else?
[08:15] Ok
[08:15] moving on
[08:15] RA any concerns other than the main item ?

Moonrise Azalee [08:15] good lord, ok im back
[08:16] (sorry)

Shep Titian [08:16] WB .. nourished I hope

Moonrise Azalee [08:16] well, im aiming for quiet but well nourished is good too

Rosie Gray [08:16] οΏΌ

Shep Titian [08:16] Lets Birch catch up

Moonrise Azalee [08:16] scrolling

Shep Titian [08:17] Are you ready Rosie?

Moonrise Azalee [08:17] ok. caught up

Shep Titian [08:17] ok cool

Rosie Gray [08:17] yes
[08:18] ?

Shep Titian [08:18] AS there is no old business we move on to the main item .. redesign of LA .. Rosie I give you the floor

Rosie Gray [08:18] thank you Shep
[08:19] As the representative of the CDS Artisan Guild
[08:19] I’d like to present this design you’ve all been looking at… Calli’s design
[08:19] as the one we’d like to recommend for reworking the Locus Amoenus sim
[08:20] as you can see it enlarges the harbour area
[08:20] and creates a focal point, with the little fishing village
[08:20] this would give us some small lots, similar to the walled city in NFS too
[08:20] and of course there are the other varied sized lots
[08:21] with this plan, we can leave the Time Machine where it is
[08:21] and there are a few other lots that can stay as they are too

Bagheera Kristan [08:22] raises hand

Rosie Gray [08:22] I think we may need to adjust the road on the far right so that it stays where it is now, since it connects up with the road on CN

Shep Titian [08:22] When Rosie is done Bags

Bagheera Kristan [08:22]

Rosie Gray [08:23] this plan is to work with the new them of Tuscany that was approved by the RA
[08:23] now, for those people that may have to move some
[08:23] I’ve discussed with our Chancellor the need to compensate people
[08:24] by giving them same sized lots, or buying them out at what they paid, at their choice
[08:25] the details of this need to be worked out still
[08:25] so, waiting for questions now

Shep Titian [08:26] Ok Bags

Moonrise Azalee [08:26] Moonrise Azalee raises hand

Bagheera Kristan [08:26] okay just a moment… let me type this out

Shep Titian [08:26] After Bags Birch

Ranma Tardis [08:26] raises hand

Moonrise Azalee [08:26] Moonrise Azalee nods

Shep Titian [08:26] Ran after Birch

Ranma Tardis [08:26] nods

Bagheera Kristan [08:28] Since it appears both my builds… the Insulae which belongs to CDS and my own building and lot, the Library, are both off this map I’d like to hear the benefits and thought behind each parcel created… the reason I am asking is because I did build both of my builds with careful consideration for making the whole sim better so – not a judgment, just a question “why these parcels? what makes each parcel size/location something appealing to a prospective citizen?

Callipygian Christensen [08:28] Callipygian Christensen raises her hand

Bagheera Kristan [08:29] done

Alexia Carnell [08:29] Alexia Carnell raises hand

Shep Titian [08:29] Rosie do you want to respond?

Rosie Gray [08:29] sure
[08:29] good question Bags ?

Bagheera Kristan [08:29]

Shep Titian [08:30] Calli after Ranma and Alexia after Calli

Rosie Gray [08:30] the plan, although it’s a bit hard to tell from the drawing, was to generally have a cliff down to beach along the left side of the drawing
[08:31] and I also wanted to say, that just because some lots are changing around a bit
[08:31] that it doesn’t mean we can’t keep existing builds
[08:31] they might have to be picked up for a time though

Bagheera Kristan [08:31]

Rosie Gray [08:31] there does need to be some terrascaping done

Shep Titian [08:32] ok Bags?

Rosie Gray [08:32] the biggist part of the plan centres on the enlarged harbour area and the fishing village, which is all currently common land
[08:32] does that answer your question Bags?

Shep Titian [08:32] OK Birch

Bagheera Kristan [08:32] I was wondering about t lines, what does a citizen see – what is their view – from their parcels?

Shep Titian [08:32] oop

Bagheera Kristan [08:32] sorry

Moonrise Azalee [08:32] Moonrise Azalee waits

Rosie Gray [08:32] well there needs to be terrascaping done

Bagheera Kristan [08:32] yes

Rosie Gray [08:32] some of this you’ll have to imagine

Bagheera Kristan [08:33] okay – I guess I just want to say that each citizen should have some sort of view that’s all

Rosie Gray [08:33] but the idea was to have the sim finished around the edges (down to beach)
[08:33] aah, yes

Bagheera Kristan [08:33] nice & nice job, calli

Shep Titian [08:33] k Birch

Moonrise Azalee [08:34] k… well first of all, i just wanted to know is the top of the image West and the bottom East?

Rosie Gray [08:34] the harbour to sea is where it is currently

Moonrise Azalee [08:35] so the top is flowing into CN?

Rosie Gray [08:35] yes
[08:35] and to the right is Monastery

Moonrise Azalee [08:36] Okay, well I just wanted to say I really like the layout, I think it makes a far better use of land. LA has always seemed so random to me. This looks nice. Done

Shep Titian [08:36] thanks
[08:36] Ranma

Ranma Tardis [08:38] I am concerned about citizens being forced to relocate. I do not find your compensation plan correct. Also there will be cries of favoritism by some. How will this be managed and what is the due process to assure fairness?

Rosie Gray [08:39] these details need to be worked out, with the Chancellor
[08:39] but the idea is to keep people happy

Ranma Tardis [08:40] Again there is no due process of law? I like the plan but representing the citizens makes me have to ask.

Rosie Gray [08:40] I don’t think the laws address this issue

Ranma Tardis [08:41] ok, done

Shep Titian [08:41] thanks

Rosie Gray [08:41] and this is why we do need to write it out carefully so that everyone understands the process

Shep Titian [08:41] Calli

Callipygian Christensen [08:41] thank you – just to clarify, this was a draft done with some specifics in mind from the group disscussions1 A fishing village on a larger harbour, 2 Time Machine in same spot for LM access 3 All prcels having road access or water access or both
[08:42] keeping canal and river ‘in line’ as well. Other thn that the parcels were meant to just be ‘there’ I have no idea if there are too many or not enough – so this was just to get the main ‘we wants’ of people in a concept
[08:42] done

Pip Torok [08:42] Pip Torok raises hand

Shep Titian [08:43] alexia then Pip

Alexia Carnell [08:43] More or less same question as Ranma’s – for the moment – this plan was made when LA was a desert – did you consider carefully the troubles it will create, carrying it on now, for LA (and other sims) new citizens?

Shep Titian [08:44] there is still a lot empty Alexia

Alexia Carnell [08:44] done

Shep Titian [08:44] Pip

Pip Torok [08:45] May I suggest that the map forms part of the transcript to this meeting (for obvious reason)? done

Alexia Carnell [08:46] Alexia Carnell raises hand

Lilith Ivory [08:46] Lilith Ivory raises her hand too

Shep Titian [08:46] Alexia

Alexia Carnell [08:46] I must thank anybody who ed with the “favoritism” of preserving my shop location in LA in this plan.
But i think at this point there is SOMETHING MUCH MORE IMPORTANT than my shop, and it’s some basic principles i will try to resume here, if you allow me… can i go on?.

Shep Titian [08:47] Yes go on

Alexia Carnell [08:47] First. As a citizen i have to say the whole LA issue has been managed in a weird way (least i can say). Forcing theme changes. Encouraging spontaneous rezzings. Preparing redesign plans at the desk without sharing enough with citizens. Locking estate transactions to new citizens. Spreading rumours. All this lead to an escalation of misunderstandings, bullying, griefing from citizens against other citizens. So what i ask to our rulers is to step down from their hyperuranian meetings and see what happens on the ground, discuss, share, spend some of their precious time LISTENING and COMMUNICATING in world. Relations work better in world than in a freezing forum, which works well as an archive but is not a problem solver.
[08:47] Second. I had a nice experience in the last days ing a noob to organize his plot. I could see Cds from his point of view, and it all sounded hard-to.understand, hostile, cumbersome. I suddenly realized that ING NEW CITIZENS to deal with strict covenants and impositions or whatever their needs are, is a priority, if we dont want to lose them. So again some more bottom – up approach would not be bad: and never impose.
[08:47] I had another experience i want to share with you. Last year i got a residential plot in another Sim. I wanted some terraforming changes and i had it in one day. I was allowed to build but I had to get my house approved, rezzin it in the sky first. They came and gave me some suggestions. I made some changes, they approved and i was allowed to rez. The whole process took a couple of days. A couple of days!!!. How do we call it? Customer care?
[08:48] Fourth. A special attention should be dedicated to citizens who bring in new people, in spite of their bad tempers, and to citizens who want to organize events, open activities as schools, bars, shops. For some weeks i opened a bellydance school near the Time Machine last year and i have to say i brought a lot of visitors. I think Cds should promoting citizen’s activities. Be their LOUDSPEAKERS in world, and not their daily nightmare.
[08:48] LAST. My dear friends, THESE above should be our priorities. I understand REDESIGNING a sim, building and landscaping is much more fun. But very simply it’s not our core problem. Do you really think that changing a Sim theme or having a top quality landscape will change things and attract more people? Alas you are totally wrong if you believe it. I have seen in these years tens of top quality sims disappear for lack of traffic and business. I have seen some low quality sims surviving and beeing lively and having traffic after five years, just because they had a strong “glue” in their activities that attracted people and made rulers happy to organize them.
[08:49] I suggest you suspend this plan and consider with a bit more attentionn
[08:49] Done

Callipygian Christensen [08:50] Callipygian Christensen has to leave – I wont comment on the speech but will point out this:It isn’t ‘favouritism’, it’s courtesy to a long time location with LMs out in the world – feel free to ignore the courtesy offered and move

Soro Dagostino [08:50] Soro Dagostino raises hand

Alexia Carnell [08:50] oh so kind Cally

Shep Titian [08:51] Lil then Soro

Callipygian Christensen [08:51] Callipygian Christensen waves and heads to the chiro

Shep Titian [08:51] Just an aside from me .. well done Calli for writing your speech

Lilith Ivory [08:51] Lilith Ivory lowers her hand again as she is shocked

Rosie Gray [08:51] Calli, and thanks for the excellent plan

Lilith Ivory [08:51] nothing to say atm

Moonrise Azalee [08:52] Calli

Pip Torok [08:52] Pip Torok eraises hand

Lilith Ivory [08:52] Calli

Soro Dagostino [08:52] Soro Dagostino yields to Pip.

Alexia Carnell [08:52] Thanks Cally, i will consider your proposal

Bagheera Kristan [08:53] ((afk for a bit))

Pip Torok [08:53] i take Alexs point about providing “glue” but i fail to see how _cancelling_ the plan will /hinder this necessary process done

Shep Titian [08:54] Soro?

Soro Dagostino [08:54] I believe there needs to be some planning done. LA is a little occupied space and horse lots.
[08:55] It needs covenants. It needs supervision by the “government”
[08:55] Leaving it to the wishes of citizens, without an agreed plan, will lead to disaster.

Tor Karlsvalt [08:56] Tor Karlsvalt listens to everything but is in some bad lag.

Soro Dagostino [08:56] That is unless those who want to “bubble up” want to guaranty the tier for the Sim.

Alexia Carnell [08:56] wonders what the word “agreed” means

Shep Titian [08:57] I believe it will have covenants Soro .. not a free for all

Soro Dagostino [08:57] Done.
[08:59] brb — warming coffee.

Pip Torok [08:59] Pip Torok raises hand

Shep Titian [08:59] Nice
[08:59] Ok …

Pip Torok [09:00] Pip Torok has hand still in the air …..

Shep Titian [09:00] Sorry Pip

Tor Karlsvalt [09:01] brb

Bagheera Kristan [09:01] raises hand

Pip Torok [09:02] just to say that i wd go one further than soro .. i wd empower the chancellor to negotiate with citizens who _seriously_ compromise the theme and in necessary to remo ve the build done

Alexia Carnell [09:02]

Pip Torok [09:02] if necessary

Alexia Carnell [09:02] Alexia Carnell wonders if Time Machin could become tuscan

Bagheera Kristan [09:03] ((I may have to run to the kitchen really quick as I have something on the stove, but I do have my hand up- ))

Pip Torok [09:03]

Moonrise Azalee [09:03] Moonrise Azalee raises hand

Shep Titian [09:03] Pip did you change your mind?

Moonrise Azalee [09:04] Moonrise Azalee whispers… he spoke

Pip Torok [09:04] no .. in what respect?

Shep Titian [09:04] Oop sorry

Pip Torok [09:04] np! )

Shep Titian [09:04] Bags then Birch

Bagheera Kristan [09:05] thank you okay… so, considering what Alexia said, and I feelher thoughts are valid, and weighing it against all that has transpired here… the last RA voted on making this change, so it isn’t a surprise…
[09:05] but I think Alexia makes some valid points and…
[09:06] I think it is important to acknowledge those who have settled in LA… I do believe there is harmony between the new theme as proposed and the current citizenry, as long as there is flexibility and respect on both sides. The people who settled in LA, I believe chose to be there because they LIKE it
[09:06] so they are not the enemies of the government’s plans – – they are the reason for the government’s being
[09:07] and I believe there is good common ground as long as effort is made to listen and consider the people who are there
[09:07] done

Shep Titian [09:07] I have to interject .. there were meetings after meetings about this .. not one did I se Alexia there ,.. in fact I told her I would look out for her interests

Bagheera Kristan [09:07] nevertheless, she is a citizen of LA, as am I

Pip Torok [09:07] Pip Torok guesses that the new citizens like the community spirit fully as much as the landscape

Tor Karlsvalt [09:07] Tor Karlsvalt raises hand

Alexia Carnell [09:08] i never receive a guild meeting btw
[09:08] *received

Bagheera Kristan [09:08] okay, done

Shep Titian [09:08] Birch

Moonrise Azalee [09:09] ok….

Shep Titian [09:09] After Birch Tor

Rosie Gray [09:09] guild meetings have been announced through the group, and on the forum

Alexia Carnell [09:10] and i already said my opinions in a previous RA meeting
[09:10] group notices last a whim

Moonrise Azalee [09:10] Well first of all, to address Alexia — since being a member of the RA there has been lots of talk about how to get new people here. The only thing we didnt do was change the theme. ITs an issue in SL period as many people find more prims and less cost in other grids —
[09:10] secondly, the point about noobs…..
[09:10] yes, it is a reason i argue for clearer covenants. Not necessarily ‘less stringent’ butmore clear meaning…..
[09:10] thirdly
[09:11] I am a sim owner…. i am full
[09:11] i have people lined up right now to rent parcels…
[09:12] and my prices are an in between.. but do you know what each new tenant says to me….. ‘this place is beautiful.. what a peaceful, attractive place to ‘live’ ‘ so yes, aesthetics DOES play a huge role. LA is currently a rather chaotic mess and does not feel ‘real’ its not very immersive in its appearnce and i feel that the new look is a big step in the right direction. Done.

Ranma Tardis [09:12] raises hand

Tor Karlsvalt [09:13] Thanks
[09:13] Pleahaving some chat lag problems but here goes
[09:14] Last winter I held three long meetings in LA on a theme redo at three different times.
[09:15] The general consensus was a theme change would be a good idea and that Tuscan or Mediterranean would be preferable.
[09:16] As far as promoting citizen interests, that is an excellent idea but I think CDS channels have been open for individuals to promote their interests.

Moonrise Azalee [09:16] Moonrise Azalee nods in agreement

Tor Karlsvalt [09:16] I also would point out that many SL sims have reduced sims. ROMA has cut two sims I think,
[09:16] Ars Avete I understand is out of business.
[09:16] Caledon has downgraded sims.

Bagheera Kristan [09:17] (in counterpoint, Blake Sea Battles has added 5 sims)

Tor Karlsvalt [09:18] Without doubt competition for residents is firerse in SL and other grids do take people from SL. I think generally tho, these numbers are small.

Shep Titian [09:18] OK

Tor Karlsvalt [09:18] Done

Shep Titian [09:18] we digress
[09:18] I’m ready to put it to the vote
[09:18] I propose that we accept the redesign plan as presented and discussed, and that the guild and Chancellor be authorized to move forward executing the plan.with a time frame “post-Roman to the end of the 19th century (or pre-WWI)”

Ranma Tardis [09:19] second

Shep Titian [09:19] Vote .. aye

Ranma Tardis [09:19] aye

Moonrise Azalee [09:20] Aye

Shep Titian [09:20] Excellent !!!!!

Alexia Carnell [09:20] Ok my friends – i take your vote and make you a favour – i will take Cally’s suggestion and leave LA – and Cds – so you can feel free to build a bright future for the sim. Farewell

Rosie Gray [09:20] Β·Β·β€’Β°β€’Β·Β·..? Applauds! ? ..Β·Β·β€’Β°β€’Β·Β·..

Pip Torok [09:20] congratulations everybody!

Rosie Gray [09:20] Rosie Gray notes that some people just cannot be accommodated

Shep Titian [09:20] Rosie and Tor .. can you take this as our request to move ahead with the redevelopment

Rosie Gray [09:21] yes thank you Shep, and thank you Ranma and Birch

Pip Torok [09:21] Pip Torok wd have liked Alexia to have continued with us …

Moonrise Azalee [09:21] Moonrise Azalee grins. Good Job everyone involved in this redesigning

Bagheera Kristan [09:21] me too pip

Lilith Ivory [09:21] me too

Ranma Tardis [09:21] I have faith the Guild will be fair to all citizens

Rosie Gray [09:22] I don’t understand why she is being like that since we said her land would be left alone

Soro Dagostino [09:22] Cleo

Shep Titian [09:22] I agree Soro

Bagheera Kristan [09:22] no, honestly, if you think about it – her brand is Roman themed – and the sim supported that as is

Moonrise Azalee [09:22] I’m looking forward to it, it’s very exciting

Bagheera Kristan [09:22] to state post-Roman gives her no incentive to stay

Rosie Gray [09:23] well then she needs to have her own sim, and pay for the whole thing if that’s the case
[09:23] otherwise, it would have fit just fine

Tor Karlsvalt [09:24] Alas, Roman is in decline unless supported by a strong RP policy or combat.

Bagheera Kristan [09:24] she was unhappy before Cleo, I know this because we talked, so you cannot hang this on Cleo’s influence

Rosie Gray [09:24] Rosie Gray nods

Moonrise Azalee [09:24] Growth can be painful and awkward, but otherwise we risk being stagnant…. the theme as is, Roman… just isnt very attractive to the general population. There are ways that she could adjust. But sometimes giving up is easier.

Bagheera Kristan [09:24] so please don’t
[09:24] true, I like the idea of a bigger harbor

Ranma Tardis [09:25] am sad

Rosie Gray [09:25] she might change her mind

Moonrise Azalee [09:25] landscape is a huge part of wanting to spend time in a fantasy life, i look at places like Chilbo, a huge community once… and its gone to peices
[09:26] they had to sell of land, it got choppy, roads broken… and now its just like the rest of mainland for the most part.

Tor Karlsvalt [09:26] Chilbo is sad

Moonrise Azalee [09:26] it was amazing once

Shep Titian [09:26] I’m talking to her

Bagheera Kristan [09:26] I’ve been exploring successful private communities… I think we could learn a lot from places like the Steampunks of New Babbage – 10 thriving sims

Rosie Gray [09:26] behaving like a spoilt teenager doesn’t anything

Bagheera Kristan [09:26] the Blake Sea Battles, who just added 5 sims

Rosie Gray [09:26] aren’t they all rp though, Bags?

Tor Karlsvalt [09:27] Oh btw, I have been asked to respond to an effort started to pull together community based sims.

Bagheera Kristan [09:27] ohyes, I guess maybe that’s it

Moonrise Azalee [09:27] as times change, public and social interests change and i really feel that rome is past its time. unless, .like said, its RP. Tuscany offers a richer beauty i think

Tor Karlsvalt [09:27] One question is to suggest other community members who can be contacted.

Rosie Gray [09:27] we can have renaissance builds in Tuscany!

Moonrise Azalee [09:27] οΏΌ

Pip Torok [09:27] yes … think of Renaissance art !!

Tor Karlsvalt [09:27] I thought of the RA, SC and guild members. Also people running for office this term.
[09:28] I will send you all a copy of my responce.
[09:28] response.

Moonrise Azalee [09:28] What exactly is it Tor?

Bagheera Kristan [09:28] true – I guess where I got stuck was outright stating “post-roman” since even today, you can see Roman era buildings

Tor Karlsvalt [09:28] Well it seems to be an effort forming among some community bases sims.
[09:28] based

Moonrise Azalee [09:29] like to have joint events etc?

Rosie Gray [09:29] I was taking the post-Roman to mean that the Roman buildings would be old
[09:29] Rosie Gray shuts up now

Bagheera Kristan [09:29] ah

Tor Karlsvalt [09:29] sort of an inter communication effort.

Moonrise Azalee [09:29] Moonrise Azalee grins
[09:29] ahh yes that makes sense

Tor Karlsvalt [09:29] Or at least promote eachother’s events.

Rosie Gray [09:29] sounds interesting, Tor

Moonrise Azalee [09:29] indeed yes

Tor Karlsvalt [09:30] I think we can have some Roman builds. Look at the Pantheon in Rome.
[09:31] That build survives to this day as a functioning building.

Lilith Ivory [09:31] I think we agreed on this theme as it is a way citizens donΒ΄t have to change their homes

Rosie Gray [09:31] Rosie Gray nods

Pip Torok [09:31] has anyone given thought to giving LA a new Italian name?

Rosie Gray [09:31] we would have to pay to rename the sim

Lilith Ivory [09:31] changing the name of a Sim costs some money

Bagheera Kristan [09:31] don’t you have to pay Linden

Tor Karlsvalt [09:31] Some people like the name.

Pip Torok [09:31] (or is that not possible?)

Bagheera Kristan [09:31] yes

Tor Karlsvalt [09:31] Nice place

Lilith Ivory [09:32] itΒ΄s possible but not cheap

Bagheera Kristan [09:32] have to be a compelling reason to spend the money

Shep Titian [09:32] OK folks .. order please

Pip Torok [09:32] well .. since i’m not bowled-over in the rush .. I’ll forget I said that !! :-]

Rosie Gray [09:33] ?

Bagheera Kristan [09:33]

Shep Titian [09:33] Moving on
[09:33] No reports
[09:33] Tor anything from the exec?

Tor Karlsvalt [09:34] yes
[09:34] Thank you Madam LRA
[09:35] I would like to point out that hippo shows occupancy at 88 percent

Shep Titian [09:35] Thats wonderful

Tor Karlsvalt [09:36] Also, talking to several of our new people, I think a Tuscan theame would be welcomed. One might even be interested in ing to build the new sim.
[09:37] Done

Shep Titian [09:37] THank you Tor
[09:37] No announcements
[09:37] So next RA meeting

Lilith Ivory [09:38] Lilith Ivory looks around and is sad to see none of the new citizens

Rosie Gray [09:38] Rosie Gray nods at Lil and agrees

Shep Titian [09:39] A number have said Lil that they love the sims .. mountains etc .. and are’nt here for politics but community
[09:39] Which is cool in my book

Moonrise Azalee [09:39] Moonrise Azalee notes that there are many anti-politic sorts these days

Rosie Gray [09:39]

Tor Karlsvalt [09:39] Well one may follow the other in time.

Moonrise Azalee [09:39] they come here to be stress free οΏΌ

Shep Titian [09:40] Yes Tor you’re right
[09:40] But they are happy to be here

Tor Karlsvalt [09:40] I have to say the shops on the quay were very nice.

Lilith Ivory [09:40] Lilith Ivory is not a very political person too

Shep Titian [09:41] Ok .. date

Moonrise Azalee [09:41] Moonrise Azalee grins

Shep Titian [09:41] Is two weeks ok
[09:41] or three .. getting close to the end

Ranma Tardis [09:41] nods

Moonrise Azalee [09:41] im good for two

Tor Karlsvalt [09:41] Yay!

Moonrise Azalee [09:41] or three, or whatever

Shep Titian [09:41] ok two weeks

Ranma Tardis [09:42] me too

Shep Titian [09:42] Sat 9th Nov at 8am

Tor Karlsvalt [09:42] Tor Karlsvalt needs to find someone to organize debates.

Moonrise Azalee [09:42]

Ranma Tardis [09:42]

Shep Titian [09:42] I propose we adjourn

Moonrise Azalee [09:42] second

Ranma Tardis [09:42] second
[09:43] aye

Moonrise Azalee [09:43] aye

Shep Titian [09:43] aye

Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): Hi Delia!
Shep (shep.titian): New business .. and item 1 the Budget
Ranma Tardis: big item
Shep (shep.titian): Tor would you care to run through it briefly
Tor Karlsvalt: Sure
Shep (shep.titian): thank you
Tor Karlsvalt: Thank you Madam LRA. As you know, I have proposed a budget for the 18th Term. It is on the forum and located at the following link:
Tor Karlsvalt: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc … scUE#gid=0. As noted we will have a deficit during the term but I will make every effort to increase revenue. First, let me note that the estate is not in any danger at this time. We shave considerable reserves in excess of $13K, USD. However we cannot merely bleed money without efforts to fix the problem CDS has. As noted already by Tan and others, Locus Amoenus is our weakest sim and is in need of attention.
Tor Karlsvalt: I assume most of you have reviewed the budget and I would like you to approve it without amendment. This so we can begin using money to generate traffic and carry on normal business.
Tor Karlsvalt: With regard to LA
Tor Karlsvalt: I have consulted with many already including the LRA.
Bagheera Kristan: raises hand
Shep (shep.titian): Bags
Tor Karlsvalt: Although I have a sense of where many people are with regard to LA, the LRA and myself suggest tht I hold several community meetings to gauge public opiniong.
Tor Karlsvalt: opinion.
Shep (shep.titian): Sorry Tor I thought you’d finished
Tor Karlsvalt: I intend to hold meetings beginning no later than this Saturday.
Tor Karlsvalt: no not yet
Tanoujin Milestone: hear , hear – a regional meeting! Welcome
Shep (shep.titian): Tor can we stick to the budget for this bit
Tor Karlsvalt: I expect to have at least two, one early and probably one later in the week at a later time.
Tor Karlsvalt: well we can sure.
Tor Karlsvalt: it isall sort of connected. but sure
Shep (shep.titian): thanks I’ll put LA on at the end
Shep (shep.titian): Do we have any questions about the budget?
Bagheera Kristan: Is there a line item that covers the expense of showing parcels in search – the 30L/week per parcel? – or is that something that if we want it, we will need to add to the budget as a new item?
Tor Karlsvalt: No there isn’t.
Tor Karlsvalt: We could.
Tanoujin Milestone: me raises hand
Bagheera Kristan: as of right now, CDS is sorely missing in search because there are no parcels singled out to show in search
Bagheera Kristan: which, I think, is one reason we are not getting the attention we should
Tor Karlsvalt: There are technical problems with advertising like that.
Shep (shep.titian): After Bags Tan
Ranma Tardis: what problems?
Bagheera Kristan: I had written on the forums what I think would be both economical and effective in regards to that
Tor Karlsvalt: Well the land will show up on the SL land list anyway I believe. I know several people have told me they found us via that listing.
Bagheera Kristan: 1 parcel for each sim in CDS that shows in search, and that parcel would be optimized with name and description – probably each welcome kosk in each sim
Tor Karlsvalt: The technical problem is that I believe Rudeen must create the ad.
Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): /me raises his hand.
Tor Karlsvalt: And it could be considerable cost if all our parcels are listed.
Shep (shep.titian): Well I expect after the discussions we could deal with the costs .. we can allocate a top up if needs be
Shep (shep.titian): Tan is waiting .. then you G
Bagheera Kristan: sure, it isn’t much, and I wouldn’t list all the parcels
Bagheera Kristan: done
Soro Dagostino: raises hand
Shep (shep.titian): thanks .. Tan?
Tanoujin Milestone: thank you – about the ads – we talk about 720 L$ right?
Shep (shep.titian): After G Soro
Tanoujin Milestone: Bags? 30 per month?
Tor Karlsvalt: right for one parcel.
Bagheera Kristan: 30/week per parcel – but I wasn’t meaning ALL the parcels in cds
Bagheera Kristan: week not month
Tanoujin Milestone: could you estimate how much is needed?
Tanoujin Milestone: 3000 L$?
Bagheera Kristan: 5 sims x 120/month = 600/month
Ranma Tardis: for 6 onths?
Shep (shep.titian): We don’t need details now
Bagheera Kristan: 3600 for six months
Bagheera Kristan: roughtly
Tanoujin Milestone: Bags, can we talk about that after the meeting?
Tanoujin Milestone: done
Bagheera Kristan: yes, of course
Bagheera Kristan: done
Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): Might I suggest that a special fund be made for those who apply to the executive to be given 30L/week or that amount per month so that they can put their parcels on search if they wish?
Shep (shep.titian): thank you .. G?
Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): This could be beneficial for both vendors and for the CDS as a whole.
Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): Done.
Shep (shep.titian): Soro?
Soro Dagostino: Is it required that all parcels for sale be listed?
Soro Dagostino: Or, can the Executive hold back on some?
Shep (shep.titian): It seems that it would be up to us to chose
Tor Karlsvalt: it is a fee based on parcel.
Bagheera Kristan: I’m sorry, I’ve opened a can of worms – no, that isn’ what I was proposing.
Ranma Tardis: frowns am confused
Bagheera Kristan: this was promoting CDS in general by the government
Soro Dagostino: I yeild to Bags.
Bagheera Kristan: Madame LRA, I can explain now or hold off and write up details in the forums
Soro Dagostino: And I agree that it is a benefit only to CDS
Shep (shep.titian): Okay .. I think that we will have tothink about ads another time
Bagheera Kristan: okay
Shep (shep.titian): I would like to propose that we assept and approve the Budget as given us by the Chancellor
Ranma Tardis: second
Bagheera Kristan: Aye
Shep (shep.titian): Vote
Ranma Tardis: aye
Shep (shep.titian): Aye
Tanoujin Milestone: aye
Shep (shep.titian): You have it Tor .. well done
Rosie Gray: Β·Β·β€’Β°β€’Β·Β·..☺ Applauds! ☺ ..Β·Β·β€’Β°β€’Β·Β·..
Shep (shep.titian): Razzy has a 7 day .. but it passed
Tanoujin Milestone: me raises hand
Shep (shep.titian): Tan
Rosie Gray: Pip
Rosie Gray: *:::* WELCOME BACK *:::*
Tanoujin Milestone: i would like to stress that I am not happy to approve such a deficit of more than 600 US$, but it is plausible
Tanoujin Milestone: but i am not in the mood to applaud it οΏΌ
Tanoujin Milestone: thanks, done
Tor Karlsvalt: Thank you all
Ranma Tardis: raises hand
Shep (shep.titian): Yes well it is understood that none of us like it
Tor Karlsvalt: It is my hope we do not have such a deficit at the end of the term
Shep (shep.titian): so we need to solve it
Ranma Tardis: how?
Tanoujin Milestone: Working on LA – let us have that after the Schloss proposal, as the LRA suggested
Shep (shep.titian): That we need to work out Ran
Shep (shep.titian): ok moving on
Shep (shep.titian): The Schloss proposal
Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): Well, we won’t run into a deficit based upon the projected income. Just from the projects we may have, like Floralia.
Shep (shep.titian): Who wants to outline?
Tor Karlsvalt: Madam LRA
Tor Karlsvalt: Please let me begin.
Shep (shep.titian): Yes Tor?
Tor Karlsvalt: Thank you
Shep (shep.titian): you have the floor
Tor Karlsvalt: I am very pleased to encourage the building of a new Schloss as proposed by Sudane and Rosie.
Tor Karlsvalt: It will undoubtably add to the attraction of our sims and also be a more efficient use of our land and prims.
Tor Karlsvalt: at this time I would like to defer to Sudane or Rosie.
Tor Karlsvalt: thank you
Sudane Erato: ok… I will give details, if that helps
Shep (shep.titian): please Sudane
Rosie Gray: please, Sudane
Ranma Tardis: nods
Sudane Erato: the details of the proposal were put some weeks ago into the forum
Sudane Erato: but in essence
Sudane Erato: Rosie and I propose to offer our service to replace the Schloss
Sudane Erato: you, the RA, and the Chancellor… we request approval
Sudane Erato: if you appriove now
Sudane Erato: we will offer a list of inspirations… pictures and text
Sudane Erato: so you have some idea what we intend
Sudane Erato: at all times we are welcoming of ideas and suggestions
Sudane Erato: we will create a basic build… off site, so as not to load the sim
Sudane Erato: and then,
Sudane Erato: before doing anything with the old build
Shep (shep.titian): I’m assuming RA has final approval of the new building
Sudane Erato: we will again seek both yours and the Chancellors approval
Sudane Erato: we ask both the RA and the Chancellor
Sudane Erato: but we leave it to you all to figure out the exact authority οΏΌ
Shep (shep.titian): Do we have any questions RA?
Sudane Erato: in any case… no changes will be made to the existing structure
Bagheera Kristan: yes, please, I have a question
Tanoujin Milestone: A free donation, backup provided to Archive?
Sudane Erato: until you have approved the off site build
Shep (shep.titian): Bags
Tanoujin Milestone: sorry
Sudane Erato: yes… its a free donation
Bagheera Kristan: no, Tan, you just asked the question I was going to ask…
Ranma Tardis: Sundane how much is left of Kendra’s build?
Sudane Erato: one other note
Bagheera Kristan: First, I want to express my gratitude to Sudane and Rosie for this generous offer. I very much approve the idea of a new Schloss. I had one question, which is, will the original build be archived? Can it be? I would like to see that happen but whether it can or not, I will still approve the build of the new one.
Sudane Erato: the offsite build will be substantially complete… but not totally… as that is impractical until we are actually there in the final location
Sudane Erato: done
Shep (shep.titian): Ok thank you
Sudane Erato: the existing build
Sudane Erato: the prims are mostly by Samantha Fuller
Tor Karlsvalt: brb
Sudane Erato: with a few by Kendra, and me, Tor, lilith
Sudane Erato: Tor has sent a notecard to Samantha
Tanoujin Milestone: ah!
Sudane Erato: but i think that she has gone
Ranma Tardis: do wish it is returned not deleted
Sudane Erato: so i don’t think that it can be saved
Shep (shep.titian): Then I would like to propse that we allow Sudane and Rosie to replace the Schloss with a new building subject to final approval of the RA and Chancellor
Sudane Erato: well… whenever one “deletes” something owned by someone else
Sudane Erato: it is actually “returned”
Pip Torok /me raises hand
Callipygian Christensen /me raises her hand
Shep (shep.titian): Calli
Tor Karlsvalt: b
Callipygian Christensen: Since archiving whole is unlikely to be possible, perhaps a machinima and set of photos could be taken to keep as archives
Sudane Erato: that would be great!
Ranma Tardis: nods
Rosie Gray: γ‹‘
Soro Dagostino: Great idea
Bagheera Kristan: yes !
Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): γ‹‘
Tanoujin Milestone: nice, yes
Pip Torok /me raises hand
Tor Karlsvalt: that is a good idea.
Tanoujin Milestone /me raises hand
Shep (shep.titian): Tan
Tor Karlsvalt: We cold play it at the New Schloss.
Tanoujin Milestone: after Pip, if you allow, Chair?
Shep (shep.titian): Pip
Pip Torok: tku .. can we confirm that it is now standard practice to automatically archive new structures?
Pip Torok: done
Tanoujin Milestone: I think we can, Pip
Tor Karlsvalt: raises hand
Tanoujin Milestone: may I?
Shep (shep.titian): It would seem to be so Pip but am not sure if it should be made a law
Tor Karlsvalt: Raises hand
Shep (shep.titian): Tan was after Pip
Tanoujin Milestone: Tor, I want to second the LRA’s proposal – do you need more discussion or can it wait?
Tanoujin Milestone: Shep has proposed that we allow Sudane and Rosie to replace the Schloss with a new building subject to final approval of the RA and Chancellor. I second that.
Tor Karlsvalt: I only want to answer Pip’s question.
Tanoujin Milestone: me leans back
Tor Karlsvalt: haha
Sudane Erato: οΏΌ

Bagheera Kristan: the Schloss was the big one
Ranma Tardis: yes
Shep (shep.titian): Yep
Pip Torok: well it seems to have had its “high”… :] Ranma Tardis: am very concerned about LA
Bagheera Kristan: raises hand
Shep (shep.titian): Soro do you still want to say something about LA?
Ranma Tardis: the residents there put so much effort into it
Soro Dagostino: Is it time for that?
Shep (shep.titian): Yes
Shep (shep.titian): Its a tag on for today
Soro Dagostino: My suggestion is that it be put to a a commission to look at what could be done.
Ranma Tardis: what to express my support for the residents of LA, they too have ah thinking
Soro Dagostino: Get the advice of the builders of CDS and see what consensus can be established.
Ranma Tardis: like my concern over neuf
Ranma Tardis: we are all in this toughter
Shep (shep.titian): We are indeed
Tanoujin Milestone /me raises hand
Shep (shep.titian): Tan
Bagheera Kristan: raises hand higher οΏΌ
Shep (shep.titian): Sorry Bags did I miss you
Bagheera Kristan: I can wait, but yes οΏΌ
Shep (shep.titian): then Bags
Bagheera Kristan: go ahead, Tan, please
Tanoujin Milestone: Soro, not sure we need a commission right now – i would like to have that regional meeting bc I want to know who wnats to invest and who wnats to build at LA
Soro Dagostino: raises hand.
Shep (shep.titian): Can I tell you it is gone 1 am here
Tanoujin Milestone: 2 am here (bragging)
Shep (shep.titian): Soro
Shep (shep.titian): οΏΌ
Pip Torok: (tks for reminding the others, Shep!:)
Soro Dagostino: The commission should include all those with an interest in the LA issues.
Tanoujin Milestone: Are you volunteering to chair a commission, Soro?
Shep (shep.titian): Ny only problem with commissions is they take forever and achieve nothing
Soro Dagostino: I am.
Ranma Tardis: have some faith
Tanoujin Milestone: In this case you have my support, as well as Tor has with the regional meeting
Ranma Tardis: mine as well
Pip Torok: (my thoughts entirely Shep .. I prefer Tor’s looser approach
Bagheera Kristan: (please let me know when it is my turn to speak)
Tanoujin Milestone: sorry Bags
Bagheera Kristan: οΏΌ
Soro Dagostino: Yield to Bags.
Soro Dagostino: sorry
Shep (shep.titian): Aww Bags I did cxall you but you said nothing sorry
Bagheera Kristan: thank you, this will take a moment to type…
Bagheera Kristan: sorry, I missed the call…
Shep (shep.titian): Bags go ahead
Bagheera Kristan: A little over a year ago, all the sims were full, LA included…
Bagheera Kristan: Each of the 5 sims has its own unique appeal, LA is a coastal semi-rural area, no other sim we have offers that
Bagheera Kristan: I love LA, and its view of the harbor & I believe others do as well…
Bagheera Kristan: I believe LA was the hardest hit by the political fallout of a year ago
Bagheera Kristan: I know some people who had been CDS residents for some years in CDS, made their homes in LA, and they left
Bagheera Kristan: I have personally been doing things to repopulate LA and becoming an RA seemed to be a way to be a better position to do some of those things, which had been stymied before
Bagheera Kristan: I would like to offer my knowledge and expertise in building traffic and getting “found”
Bagheera Kristan: specifically because I think that is all LA really needs
Bagheera Kristan: oh and one other thing
Bagheera Kristan: which I mentioned on the forums, which is there are large parcels in LA which are designated residential only
Bagheera Kristan: which can be a little off-putting because most people have a dream of some small commerce or creative outlet in SL
Bagheera Kristan: and residential only, without explanation, feels like a stranglehold perhaps
Bagheera Kristan: Thank you, I’m done
Ranma Tardis: Bag how can the RA help?
Shep (shep.titian): Thank Dags and for your offer too
Shep (shep.titian): Bags
Shep (shep.titian): Ok I’m moving on
Soro Dagostino: raises hand
Bagheera Kristan: well, I made recommendations on the forums – specifically to use the search feature, which I saw from the earlier discussion, is not well understood
Bagheera Kristan: sorry, was typing
Ranma Tardis: nods
Tanoujin Milestone /me raises hand (after Soro)
Ranma Tardis: shaw we vote money?
Tanoujin Milestone: budget is done – let us solve that by donation
Bagheera Kristan: I would like to get with Tor, something he and I have discussed
Ranma Tardis: nods
Bagheera Kristan: mostly it is time and knowledge, which I am willing to offer
Tor Karlsvalt: ah donations.
Shep (shep.titian): I think it will be good to gettogether with Tor as he suggested and have an open meeting .. thank you Soro for your offer which may still get taken up:)
Soro Dagostino: raises hand
Shep (shep.titian): Soro
Tor Karlsvalt: Just a plug, but there are donation bowls at the harbor, amphitheater and in front of the Kirche
Tor Karlsvalt: In the kirche also
Soro Dagostino: I yield to the appointment of Bags as chair.
Bagheera Kristan: smiles οΏΌ we are all in this together
Ranma Tardis: grins
Shep (shep.titian): Yes lol
Tanoujin Milestone: excuse me Soro? I did not get that, could you paraphrase please?
Soro Dagostino: I offered to chair a commission or other study group.
Shep (shep.titian): Tor when can you do the first meeting do you think .. while people are hjere to say if they can attend
Soro Dagostino: I yield that to Bags.
Tor Karlsvalt: I am shooting for Next Saturday Morning.

Bagheera Kristan: okay, I wanted to give an update on the chariot races I held
Tanoujin Milestone: πŸ™‚
Bagheera Kristan: I held them a couple weeks ago in Locus Amoenus with the underlying intent to draw new people here
Bagheera Kristan: I spammed my own friends list – LOL – so they showed up, but a couple of them had never been to CDS and one of them remarked how pretty Locus Amoenus is…
Bagheera Kristan: she is a blogger, she helps promote my shop, and she volunteered to also promote LA
Bagheera Kristan: on her own initiatve
Bagheera Kristan: we also got two totally new people who found us from the Second Life calendar

Shep Titian: Go ahead

Bagheera Kristan: πŸ™‚
Tanoujin Milestone: let me give you short history of the Citizen Notification Act
Moonrise Azalee: nods
Tanoujin Milestone: The Dean requested the RA
1. to rule on timing when new laws come into effect
2. To review NL4-26 Public Information Act
This was discussed at RA 16 Jun 2012
Tanoujin Milestone: Pat posted a straw man proposal from 27 Jun 2012
Tanoujin Milestone: with a preamble
Tanoujin Milestone: :
Tanoujin Milestone: Preamble
Citizens have a right to expect some notification of changes that will affect them. Similarly, citizens also have a responsibility to check official channels and raise concerns about changes which will affect them in a timely fashion. This Act sets out the expectations for both Government branches and citizens.
Tanoujin Milestone: well
Tanoujin Milestone: on 30 Jun 2013 the RA amended the time frame to 30d, accidentally left out the preamble and passed it as CDSL17-01. Razzy suggested to improve accessibility by using the portal too.
Tanoujin Milestone: are you still with me?
Shep Titian: Yes
Bagheera Kristan: yes
Tanoujin Milestone: ty
Tanoujin Milestone: Gwyn critzised the missing preamble on the forums thread.
Tanoujin Milestone: On 14 Jul 2012 at a inquorate meeting the LRA pointed to the cause of the legislation: it was CDSL16-03 Citizen Establishment Act section 3 which declares parcels deeded to private groups illegal.
Tanoujin Milestone: that took us into trouble..hence the law
Tanoujin Milestone: On 4 Aug 2012 the RA passed two amendments to the law:
3. This Act shall not apply to notice of meetings provided that any action taken at the meeting is ineffective for thirty days under this Act to allow citizen comment and requests for revision
4. This Act shall apply only to general, public actions, and not to private actions (such as covenant enforcement and foreclosure for not paying tier)
Tanoujin Milestone: sigh
Tanoujin Milestone: Yes, it passed, and again, without preamble. The amendments were not filed to the code of law.
Tanoujin Milestone: A short personal passage. I have not been archivist then, and when I became archivist, I did not volunteer to update the forum. That was accepted. I think there is no law forcing me to do it. Looks like I can do whatever I see fit.
Tanoujin Milestone: But on the other hand, what are the consequences? Okay, I have asked the former archivist to continue to post to the portal. He did not do it. Well. I will ask the designated guild master to give me a class. And I will post that darn amendments.
Tanoujin Milestone: πŸ™‚
Tanoujin Milestone: But my recommendation would be:
Tanoujin Milestone: wipe the #3 and #4 and put Pat’s preamble on top. Please consider until next time, and let us discuss it in-between on the forums.
Tanoujin Milestone: But let us have a look at the topic announced in the agenda now: I suggested we amend the Citizen Information Act. So, everything I said before looks a bit off topic. Really?
Tanoujin Milestone: If the Citizen Information Act was about informing the citizens, as the title suggests, it would not be off topic. But in fact: it is. What is the Citizen Information Act?
Tanoujin Milestone: It is NL5-15, stating it was the EO’s duty to publish a citizen list once per month. Once per month! Are you aware you have to check 220 parcels inworld to meet that requirement?
Tanoujin Milestone: πŸ™‚
Tanoujin Milestone: are you with me?
Bagheera Kristan: yes
Tanoujin Milestone: ty
Tanoujin Milestone: I suggest we repeal NL5-15, keeping in mind our names are public knowledge. Next time? Discussion on forums?
Razzy: yes
Tanoujin Milestone: But that is not what the Dean asked for on 16 Jun 2012! She asked to review the Public Information act. That is CDSL13-01. That law establishes a public information team. That team deals with calendars, event notes, inworld kiosks, magazines, handouts, all regarding to actions, policies and history of the government, and the chancellor responsible to keep it current “at all times”.
Tanoujin Milestone: πŸ™‚
Tanoujin Milestone: sorry
Tanoujin Milestone: no, it is the wrong law.
Tanoujin Milestone: We wanted to talk about NL4-26 Public Information Act. That introduces the role of the PIO. We are having no PIO at the moment. We will not pay 1000 L$ to her. And we will not let the chair of a private organization appoint her, right? The PIO, btw, is responsible for a public relation campaign.
Tanoujin Milestone: okay… three statements and I am done
Tanoujin Milestone: 1. The principle of publicity and the scattered single requirements of notification are not sufficient. We need a central law on information policy which provides a basic framework of requirements and criteria, avoiding the mistake to get lost in outdating technical and personal details.
Tanoujin Milestone: 2. What we need now is a panorama of all legislation connected to the public information issue and the current practice, which could be improved using state of the art technology. Again, it has to be doable and enforceable on the executive level, let us listen to people who are at home in the technical aspects.
Shep Titian: WOW
Tanoujin Milestone: 3. Information is the act to transmit content in order to have an effect. The community handles information to realize obligations and goals, to meet fundamental needs of social coexistence and to use it as an instrument of power and organization.;)
Tanoujin Milestone: hehehe
Tanoujin Milestone: Let us find out what the real limitations are regarding effort, proportionality, protection of data, exceptions and absorbing capacity of the target group. And let us call a spade a spade in the future.
Tanoujin Milestone: Thanks for your attention.I am looking forward to a lively forums discussion
Tanoujin Milestone: done
Bagheera Kristan: much to think about, thank you Tan
Shep Titian: Thank you Tan … I think
Bagheera Kristan: LOL !
Tanoujin Milestone: thank you!
Callipygian ChristensenCallipygian Christensen raises her hand
Shep Titian: Ok well that is going to be interestring .. and my own view in reaction is scrub what exists and get it right .. then leave it alone
Shep Titian: Calli please
Callipygian Christensen: I think I am the dean in question there so just a couple of things – while I may have specified and law, I dont recall doing so..
Tanoujin Milestone: well, it is on the record
Callipygian Christensen: what I did ask was that something be put in place to avoid having the Chancellor required to send out 120 notecards asking citizens to comply with a law, in case they dont bother reading forums or notices
Tor Karlsvalt: Raises hand
Callipygian Christensen: that would still be my main concern, as a citizen, that the Cancellor or anyone else not bear the burden of responsibility that wach citizen should carry for themself
Shep Titian: After Calli Tor
Callipygian Christensen: so that is my only comment..whatever you change or create, please ensure that is in place
Callipygian Christensen: done
Tor Karlsvalt: thanks
Tor Karlsvalt: a couple of things
Tor Karlsvalt: In the past with hippo rollout the RA
Tor Karlsvalt: asked that the Exec notify all citizens
Tor Karlsvalt: this was done via the forum and notices and posters near tier box temples.
Tor Karlsvalt: then the effective date was in the future to allow all to be notified.
Tor Karlsvalt: I might add that we still had problems.
Tor Karlsvalt: second
Tor Karlsvalt: Group notices are about the only method we know is common to all citizens
Bagheera Kristan: raises hand
Tor Karlsvalt: Even there however, the new viewers make these less effective
Tor Karlsvalt: done
Shep Titian: I agree with you there Tor
Shep Titian: and thanks
Tor Karlsvalt: shure
Tor Karlsvalt: sure*
Callipygian ChristensenCallipygian Christensen has to be afk due to the dinner thing
Tanoujin Milestone: good appetite, Calli
Shep Titian: Enjoy
Tor Karlsvalt: ok callie
Bagheera Kristan: *raises hand higher
Shep Titian: Ok well Tan could you start a seperate thread in the forum on the subject ?
Shep Titian: Sorry Bags
Tanoujin Milestone: yes Ma’m
Shep Titian: Go ahead hun
Bagheera Kristan: just a thought – the one thing citizens have
Bagheera Kristan: is they have to pay tier. In real life, when I pay my HOA, I pick up the HOA newsletter, would it be feasible for paying tier to result in receiving a notecard and/or…
Bagheera Kristan: one weakness with “signs” is they are graphics, which mean if they haven’ rezzed, you dn’t know what you are missing
Tor Karlsvalt: Raises hand
Bagheera Kristan: but a box that distributes notecards and everyone knows to touch it would a) keep things in world and b) not be missed
Shep Titian: I don’t know the hippo posibilities
Bagheera Kristan: just a thought, i will take the rest to the forums
Tanoujin Milestone: πŸ™‚
Shep Titian: Yes cool thanks ..
Bagheera Kristan: ty πŸ™‚
Shep Titian: Ok moving on …
Shep Titian: If we are considering changes to LA .. should we take the opportunity to clean up bits on all the sims
Shep Titian: There are pathways that lead only to a sim edge on the mountain
Bagheera Kristan: ah, residual from AA, probably. I cleaned up some of that in CN
Shep Titian: There are old insula for sale with 2 prims available
Razzy nods
Tanoujin Milestone: oh, wow
Shep Titian: No one is going to buy them
Bagheera Kristan: raises hand
Shep Titian: Bags
Bagheera Kristan: I would think the thing to do mgiht not be “one big clean up” but to encourage people to speak out when they notice some of the things like you have mentioned and we can fix them as we discover their existence?
Tor Karlsvalt: raises hand
Shep Titian: Yes I agree .. I wanted to test people’s appetite for the job
Bagheera Kristan: okay, yes, done πŸ™‚
Shep Titian: Some are VERY sentimental πŸ™‚
Tor Karlsvalt: raises hand
Shep Titian: Tor
Tor Karlsvalt: thanks
Tor Karlsvalt: I sort of agree with Bags
Tor Karlsvalt: at the moment we have already started
Tor Karlsvalt: I needed a house for the cardo as a prior owner deleted it and I could not get the copy from Jon
Tor Karlsvalt: Tan was good to commission Lil to build two new houses for the Cardo and donate them to the CDS
Shep Titian: Thats cool
Tor Karlsvalt: We could follow a similar pattern, however I agree we have to be sensitive to the traditional look of CN
Shep Titian: I did’nt know
Shep Titian: We maybe should know
Tor Karlsvalt: I also think we can work on that road you referenced.
Shep Titian: Yes that would be good
Tor Karlsvalt: However we are a bit extended with the Schloss and proBably LA
Tor Karlsvalt: but the road thing, might be minimal and truly would give NFS some prims
Shep Titian: Yes … that would
Tor Karlsvalt: then Rosie myself and Tan have been deprimming where we could
Tor Karlsvalt: the soccer field was reduced by more than 20 prims.
Tor Karlsvalt: done
Shep Titian: THe centre of CN is where the old builds are with no prim
Tor Karlsvalt: ok
Tor Karlsvalt: I have to look at that
Tanoujin MilestoneTanoujin Milestone coughts
Tor Karlsvalt: I just pulled an old prim out of a wall today.
Tanoujin MilestoneTanoujin Milestone raises hand
Tor KarlsvaltTor Karlsvalt throws Tan a coughdrop
Tanoujin Milestone: πŸ˜‰
Shep Titian: Rosie and I were looking yesterday …
Shep Titian: Tan
Tanoujin Milestone: the superflues road at NFS, is it the right of way?
Tanoujin Milestone: just curious
Tor Karlsvalt: It is a road to nowhere
Shep Titian: Just leads to a drop off
Tanoujin Milestone: notheast, yes
Tanoujin Milestone: hmmm
Tor Karlsvalt: just extends past a x-roads and leads to NFS East
Tor Karlsvalt: or south
Tor Karlsvalt: πŸ™‚
Shep Titian: Someone wanted to join two parcels it was in the middle .. I think they moved elsewhere
Shep Titian: But it was a good point
Shep Titian: Ok .. I think we know we can reoprt things and they may get changed πŸ˜€
Shep Titian: Moving on
Tor Karlsvalt: we try
Shep Titian: This was requested by Rosie … When should Spring begin ?
Tor Karlsvalt: ah
Shep Titian: And shMoonrise Azaleeould we timetable our seadons?
Shep Titian: seasons
Moonrise Azalee: February! lol
Moonrise Azalee: is so sick of winter
Tor Karlsvalt: haha
Shep Titian: lol
Bagheera Kristan: I think that has been the purvue of the current exec in the past
Tor KarlsvaltTor Karlsvalt just notes that the ground hog says we have six more weeks of winter.
Bagheera Kristan: in real life, seasons are not fixed – LOL !
Shep Titian: NOoooooooooooooooooooooo
Bagheera Kristan: but I’m in California, IRL, so I know nothing of this seasons of which you speak
Shep Titian: LOL
Tanoujin Milestone: you don’t miss anything but a running nose and cold feet
Shep Titian: No Bags in fact more changeable than ever
Tor Karlsvalt: raises hand
Shep Titian: Tor
Tor Karlsvalt: Yes, bags is correct it was usually an exec decision.
Tor Karlsvalt: Usually we plan for March
Tor Karlsvalt: probably earlier than later in March
Tor Karlsvalt: that has been traditional.
Tor Karlsvalt: Not that it can’t change tho.
Moonrise Azalee: Guess it depends on where one is from – ones idea of when spring is
Shep Titian: Well really the lower sims should melt first πŸ™‚
Tor Karlsvalt: We can do that
Moonrise Azalee: We have crocuses πŸ™‚ –
Bagheera Kristan: LOL !
Moonrise Azalee: agrees with Shep
Tor Karlsvalt: Actually, this year we tried to have less snow in LA
Shep Titian: Ok well this is’nt exercizing anyone much lol
Bagheera Kristan: there is some history behind this, originally CDS came about in part because SL wanted snow sims to compete with other MMorPGS
Shep Titian: I’ll tell Rosie to ask Tor πŸ˜€
Tor Karlsvalt: haha
Tanoujin Milestone: hehehe, good one
Tor Karlsvalt: I think one year we were very late
Tor Karlsvalt: that got people mad when winter ran into late March.
Tor Karlsvalt: My plan was the first weekend of March btw
Moonrise Azalee: Is there a real place we are basing our climate on?
Moonrise Azalee: if so, would we be in sync with that?
Shep Titian: Yes .. people suffer from SAD
Tor Karlsvalt: Gee they had this argument years ago
Bagheera Kristan: I apologize, I need to excuse myself – IRL
Tor Karlsvalt: I think the problem is CN is technically Colonge Germany
Tor Karlsvalt: ok
Moonrise Azalee: wasn’t here years ago
Shep Titian: Everything goes around inb circles Tor
Moonrise Azalee: ahh
Tor Karlsvalt: haha
Tor Karlsvalt: yes
Shep Titian: Ok Bags
Bagheera Kristan: thank you
Tor Karlsvalt: but then CN and LA are one the same latitude if you will
Moonrise Azalee: Bye Bags πŸ™‚
Moonrise Azalee: waves
Tanoujin Milestone: oh, leaving? See you!
Tor Karlsvalt: I will get with Rosie, see what her thoughts are.
Shep Titian: Ok well we’ll leave that for now ..
Shep Titian: Ummm I thought I said .. nevermind
Tor Karlsvalt: np
Shep Titian: Ok no commissions to report
Tanoujin Milestone: ahhhh, exec! Me claps her hands πŸ˜€
Shep Titian: Exec .. do you need to report anything Tor? πŸ™‚
Tor Karlsvalt: sure
Tor Karlsvalt: I can be brief.
Shep Titian: cool
Shep Titian: You have the floor
Tor Karlsvalt: I held 3 meetings on LA redevelopment
Tor Karlsvalt: the transcripts and a summary are posted to the forum.
Tor Karlsvalt: I suggest we all just go there to read about the meeting
Tor Karlsvalt: I think however we will have some proposals, but probably want to see how the newly constituted Guild can consider plans for LA and RA approval
Tor Karlsvalt: done
Moonrise Azalee: ooh, just a sec
Tor Karlsvalt: oh one more thing sorry
Shep Titian: Razzy?
Moonrise Azalee: k back
Moonrise Azalee: sorry
Moonrise Azalee: son was leaving
Shep Titian: Ok lol
Tor Karlsvalt: I should note that one great idea that came out of the meetings was that CDS should provide high quality prefabs for new citizens.
Moonrise Azalee: Thats a good idea
Tor Karlsvalt: Several of the people at the meeting, all good builders, were interested in helping with this.
Tanoujin Milestone: thats great, we need that
Tor Karlsvalt: I think that is it so far. I would like people to read the forums.
Tor Karlsvalt: let me put the link in the chat

Shep Titian: Ok … calling the meeting to order
Shep Titian: We begin with the usual
Moonrise Azalee: Razzy laughs at pip
Moonrise Azalee: Razzy nods and listens
Shep Titian: Approve agenda … any problems?
Pip Torok: none here
Bagheera Kristan: I am fine with it
Tanoujin Milestone: Agenda is fine to me
Moonrise Azalee: approved
Pip Torok: EXCEPT “CH” ???
Moonrise Azalee: (with me)
Bagheera Kristan: oh yes! that’s right, what is CH?
Bagheera Kristan: convex hull?
Sudane Erato: Church
Tanoujin Milestone: Convex Hull, a prim saver
Pip Torok: ah!!!
Shep Titian: Sorry Convex Hull
Pip Torok: thus are acronyms given birth …
Sudane Erato: πŸ™‚
Shep Titian: Lol
Bagheera Kristan: LOL!
Shep Titian: Ok
Shep Titian: Speakers .. only missing Tor for exec report
Shep Titian: Citizens concers??
Tanoujin Milestone: Since Ranma is not there I would like to adopt her motion
Tanoujin Milestone: on the Schloss topic
Shep Titian: Any problems?
Shep Titian: ok RA concerns? any ?
Bagheera Kristan: yes
Shep Titian: Bags
Bagheera Kristan: I had been talking with Tor about this, I wanted to fix the landing point for center of sim for LA and CN
Bagheera Kristan: I had given Tor information on how to do this but Sudane also needs to be in the discussion
Bagheera Kristan: also there is at least one public parcel in LA with a forced landing point which is detrimental to visitors
Shep Titian: Yes the CN one is a walk from the info centre
Bagheera Kristan: the goal is to keep people from landing in a bad spot if they tp in from the big map
Bagheera Kristan: CN lands in Arria’s house, LA lands you underwater in the center of the river
Sudane Erato: good for mermaids
Bagheera Kristan: I had figured out solutions, but realized I needed to let people know what was going on – in LA, in the winter, you get stuck under the ice
Tor Karlsvalt: hi all, Sudane πŸ™‚
Tanoujin Milestone: i encountered this, you are right, Bags
Shep Titian: Hi Tor
Pip Torok: yes .. otherwise itll give LA a bad name …
Bagheera Kristan: so I just wanted to mention I had been paying attention to this and had thought of solutions, and wasnt’ sure what I should do to get them implemented except talk to Tor, which I have done – πŸ™‚ hi Tor – and he and I agreed we needed Sudane’s help to go further
Shep Titian: Who needs to change them?
Sudane Erato: if you need to (or Rudeen) to do something… np at all… just give instructions, since i’m not very knowledgeable about Landing Points
Bagheera Kristan: okay, thank you Sudane πŸ™‚ it requires a bit of reparceling
Bagheera Kristan: we can talk about it after, if that’s alrigth with everyone
Sudane Erato: np, if necessary
Bagheera Kristan: okay, I’m done πŸ™‚
Bagheera Kristan: thank you
Tor Karlsvalt: We need to create a small strip of a parcel to connect the center cooridnate to say the meeting circle.
Shep Titian: Thanks Bags
Tor Karlsvalt: or maybe an Agora
Shep Titian: that would be off putting
Shep Titian: Ok next
Shep Titian: The new Schloss building
Bagheera Kristan: lovely job on the build !
Sudane Erato: ty πŸ™‚
Shep Titian: I hope most have bneen to see it .. its coming on a treat πŸ™‚
Moonrise Azalee: I love it. Very awesome
Tor Karlsvalt: yes! great job
Pip Torok: did sudane pick up on the suggestion for tapestries?
Callipygian Christensen: Callipygian Christensen raises her hand
Shep Titian: Calli
Sudane Erato: we are experimenting with tapestries, yes
Pip Torok: tks .. πŸ™‚
Tanoujin MilestoneTanoujin Milestone rises hand
[b]Callipygian Christensen: The schloss build does look great, but one question re – the proposal (motion?) Ranma posted
Shep Titian: After Calli Tan
Tanoujin Milestone: sure
Shep Titian: I have’nt pocked that up Calli
Callipygian Christensen: It speaks of approving the build at the appropriate time, but I thought approval is something planned for before themove?
Callipygian Christensen: because once the old schloss goes, it’s gone I think – no putting it back
Tanoujin Milestone: Tanoujin Milestone bites her lips
Shep Titian: No it was always stated it could’nt be finished off site
Sudane Erato: the original proposal suggested that in order to do the move, the RA and Chancellor would approve the build in its unfinished state
Sudane Erato: of course, more finishing will be needed
Sudane Erato: but
Callipygian Christensen: Yes , I know Shep..but wasnt the idea that people basically approve it in progress then move it for the final pieces?
Sudane Erato: you can’t change your mind after the old one is removed
Callipygian Christensen: yes, what Sudane said
Tor Karlsvalt: Yes, the old schloss will be gone forever.
Tor Karlsvalt: We have saved only small parts of it.
Bagheera Kristan: raises hand
Shep Titian: Yes .. but as buildings are essentially under exec decisions RA is really only a tiken in this
Shep Titian: Tan
Tanoujin Milestone: fine. Ranma suggested on the forums we give the replacement a nod – may I post it here in chat for discussion
Tanoujin Milestone: ?
Shep Titian: Yes go ahead
Tanoujin Milestone: Subject to the approval of the CDS Chancellor the old build in Neufreistadt know as “Schloss” be removed and replaced by Rosie Gray and Sudane Erato. Understanding the new Schloss needs to be moved to its final site before being finished. Approval of the final build would be made at the correct time. The Representational Assembly commends the selfless acts of Rosie Gray and Sudane Erato in making this project possible.
Shep Titian: Bags
Bagheera Kristan: I would like to propose that – unless this causes a hardship on Sudane, who I know has donated the building site…
Bagheera Kristan: that we delay the move at least another week and/or – the underlying reason – there was talk of creating a photographic or machinanime of the original and ahs that happened yet?
Pip Torok: I propose a small drafting amendment : representatives’ instead of Representational …
Bagheera Kristan: are people satisfied they have preserved the memory enough? do they need more time?
Shep Titian: No it has’nt
Sudane Erato: raise hand
Shep Titian: No one seems to have the stomach for it
Shep Titian: Sudane
Sudane Erato: regarding timing
Sudane Erato: there is nothing intrinsic here, except to do it as soon as possible… so
Callipygian Christensen: I have taken pictues but I dont do machinima
Sudane Erato: i agree that if people feel they have no yet fully docuemnted the old build
Sudane Erato: they we can wait
Tanoujin Milestone: Tanoujin Milestone raises hand
Sudane Erato: my concern now was just to get the go ahead from the RA and chancellor
Shep Titian: People have had plenty of time Sudane
Lilith Ivory: IΒ΄ve taken a few pictures too but didnΒ΄t have the time to take more
Sudane Erato: we’ll be happy to wait until photos and videos are finished
Sudane Erato: done
Bagheera Kristan: I would like to propose that we wait at least a week from the time of approval before the move begins, so people who maybe were delaying, realize they’d better get moving if they care to get their photos in
Shep Titian: Thank you
Moonrise Azalee: Razzy nods
Tanoujin Milestone: though
Tanoujin Milestone: i strongly recommend
Tanoujin Milestone: we approve the Schloss in its state ready for the move today
Shep Titian: I propose we allow the building to continue on the permanent site
Shep Titian: Tan
Tanoujin Milestone: let us fix the following
Tanoujin Milestone: 1. we are fine with the new schloss
Tanoujin Milestone: 2. we want it moved when the time is there
Lilith IvoryLilith Ivory raises her hand
[b]Tanoujin Milestone: and set a time to finish the documentation of the old building
Tanoujin Milestone: done
Shep Titian: Lil
Tor Karlsvalt: raises hand
Shep Titian: After Lol Tor
Lilith Ivory: I just wanted to suggest to set a time for the move already as “when the time is there” so sounds CDS like πŸ™‚
Shep Titian: Lil
Shep Titian: sorry
Tor Karlsvalt: I propose that RA approve the schloss and allow the Chancellor to set the time of the move no earlier than next Saturday.
Pip Torok: i agree
Moonrise Azalee: Razzy raises hand
Tor Karlsvalt: If we need more time to finish a picture montage then I will extend the move a bit.
Tor Karlsvalt: Naturally, we need to fit into people’s schedules.
Tor Karlsvalt: done
Tanoujin Milestone: I support the Chancellors suggestion
Bagheera Kristan: I do too
Moonrise Azalee: Razzy lowers hand
Shep Titian: I already propsed it be moved
Shep Titian: No one seconded
Pip Torok: i second
Shep Titian: You can’t Pip sorry
Moonrise Azalee: I second
Sudane Erato: lol Pip… you’re not in the RA! )
Shep Titian: Thank you Razzy
Sudane Erato: hehe
Tanoujin Milestone: could you repeat, Shep? I obviously missed it, my apologies
Pip Torok: of course (must frop those bad habits!)
Shep Titian: ok vote on the new build being approved to move to the permanent site
Shep Titian: Aye
Bagheera Kristan: aye
Moonrise Azalee: aye
Tanoujin Milestone: aye
Shep Titian: Passed .. excellent
Sudane Erato: ty πŸ™‚
Tor Karlsvalt: ?~~?~~APPLAUSE~~?~~?
Pip Torok: marvellous!! :-))
Moonrise Azalee: Razzy smiles
Shep Titian: Tor if you can take it from here
Serge Voorhees: Serge Voorhees smiles
Shep Titian: Cool
Tanoujin Milestone: phew
Sudane Erato: Rosie and I will be happy to work with Tor on this
Sudane Erato: as he suggests
Shep Titian: Excellent
Shep Titian: We look forward to the first ball
Sudane Erato: yes!!!
Tor Karlsvalt: I will let every one know when the wrecking party happens.
Sudane Erato: πŸ™‚
Callipygian Christensen: Sudane- I have a number of images that can be made into tapestries if you or Rosie want to provide the tapestry prim
Sudane Erato: oh… we can talk πŸ™‚
Shep Titian: Ok .. now just a discussion as yet lol
Tor Karlsvalt: that would be an excellent idea
Tor Karlsvalt: a tapestry maybe of the old schloss?
Pip Torok: I have a number of tapestries that were in the tanzhaus, Sudane
Shep Titian: In the fervour to restock with citizens .. and the talking about remoddling LA
Sudane Erato: we’d be happy to accept full perm textures for proposed tapestries or any other pictures
Shep Titian: I’m sorry am I disturbing you
Sudane Erato: sorry… just answering… time to move on, i agree
Shep Titian: Thanks πŸ™‚
Shep Titian: Basically .. how do folks feel about all the sims being looked at
Bagheera Kristan: raises hand
Shep Titian: maybe make some bigger parcels where possible
Shep Titian: Bahs
Bagheera Kristan: oh sorry, you weren’t done πŸ™‚ please finish
Shep Titian: There are places where paths lead no where .. many other small bits that could save prim and m,ake the parcels more appealing
Pip Torok: can we assume that the sims with the most serious shortage will be looked at first?
Moonrise Azalee: Razzy raises hand
Shep Titian: If people think its a good idea I thought a committee might be the way to go
Shep Titian: ok done
Shep Titian: razz anfrt Bags
Moonrise Azalee: Razzy giggles
Moonrise Azalee: thank you
Shep Titian: I low typos lol
Moonrise Azalee: just in response to what Pip said… I think that the sims we need to get habitated might be the ones we need to look at first.
Bagheera Kristan: I would love to help with the committee, I was also thinking about how to do it so it wouldn’t be chaotic…
Shep Titian: Yes good point
Shep Titian: it seems a good opportunity to look in depth
Bagheera Kristan: I know we talked last month about this and said people should start fixing things as they were discovered, is this a continutation of that discussion?
Moonrise Azalee: There must be reasons why one sim is full and one is so empty. taking a look at redesigning paths, finding prims and maybe, as you mentioned, extending parcels.. would be good.
Moonrise Azalee: done
Tor Karlsvalt: raises hand
Shep Titian: It is in a way Bags .. its my responce to seeing nmo change lol
Shep Titian: But if thats whats wanted no problem πŸ™‚
Bagheera Kristan: ah, sorry, my IRL father has been in the hospital this past month, I meant to do more
Shep Titian: Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Tor Karlsvalt: sorry to hear that Bags.
Shep Titian: Hell I’m not blaming you
Moonrise Azalee: Sorry Bags
Bagheera Kristan: πŸ™‚ kk πŸ™‚
Shep Titian: Awww so sorry .. I hope he recovers well
Bagheera Kristan: he’s 92…
Shep Titian: Good genes
Bagheera Kristan: no worries, let’s talk abotu what’s at hand, I only meant to say this DOES matter to me, I just didn’t get to it this month
Moonrise Azalee: Razzy nods
Shep Titian: Yes and my point was general hun .. I would’nt single anyone out
Shep Titian: CDS is alwats talk talk lol
Tor Karlsvalt: raises hand
Shep Titian: Tor
Tor Karlsvalt: Thanks
Tor Karlsvalt: I think the meeting I held had one theme, the theme of LA should be tweaked.
Tor Karlsvalt: I also believe that some redrawing of parcels is inorder.
Tor Karlsvalt: in LA the larger parcels have always been rather popular.
Shep Titian: Right .. what would you like it to be Tor?
Moonrise Azalee: Razzy nods
Bagheera Kristan: yes, I agree with Tor
Tor Karlsvalt: Well I know you might disagree but I think the Guild could run a contest for a map or plan.
Tor Karlsvalt: There could be some parameters.
Tor Karlsvalt: bigger harbor, more water, better music venue etc
Moonrise Azalee: Razzy nods
Shep Titian: Well the Guild is’nt a CDS gov’t thing
Tanoujin Milestone: the Chancellor can hire the Guild πŸ™‚
Shep Titian: You’d have to set the comp
Tor Karlsvalt: Also, we probably want to keep some of the legacy builds.
Shep Titian: Yes he can
Lilith Ivory: the RA could offer the guild that job if I remember right
Bagheera Kristan: are we still on the agenda? I am lost
Shep Titian: Yes hun
Shep Titian: its a discussion in general about tidying up etc
Serge Voorhees raises hand
[b]Shep Titian: I’m more than happy for you to chair a committee if we can get one up and running
Bagheera Kristan: yes, okay. I am for prim saving and judicious redrawing of parcels to make larger parcels, I’m not for a wholesale overhaul of LA
Shep Titian: Getting a bad lag
Bagheera Kristan: chat lag – LOL! I wrote that a while back, sorry
Shep Titian: Its ok lol
Shep Titian: Serge
Serge Voorhees: As you know, I am new here, and maybe my question is superfluous…. does CDS has proper statistics on the PRIM-usage and on visitors?
Tor Karlsvalt: no we don’t
Serge Voorhees: I would suggest then to gather such statistics, as they might be very helpful
Tor Karlsvalt: Well we know where prims are a problem, NFS.
Pip TorokPip Torok raises hand
[b]Shep Titian: Pip
Shep Titian: Wb Tan
Pip Torok: imo keeping stats IN CASE they may be needed cd be a wate of valuable time
Pip Torok: waste
Tanoujin Milestone: thank you
Pip Torok: done
Serge Voorhees: Serge Voorhees raises hand
Shep Titian: Serge
Serge Voorhees: TY. Maybe I should explain better why I brought the topic.
Shep Titian: Please do
Serge Voorhees: Of course, you all do know calculating the static PRIM is not a problem, and can be easily gathered in statistic. But lag is also a problem of temp prims, which has to do with visitors and what scripts they are wearing
Shep Titian: yes
Moonrise Azalee: Razzy nods
Tor Karlsvalt: raises hand
Serge Voorhees: So if you don’t know why some parts are laggy, and you would base yourself only on fixed prims, you might take wrong conclusions
Shep Titian: Tor
Tor Karlsvalt: thanks
Tor Karlsvalt: Just in response to Serge
Tor Karlsvalt: Correct me if I am wrong, but I think the old schloss has some temp prims that rezz only when you need them in a room
Bagheera Kristan: raises hand
Tor Karlsvalt: I have gotten a funny error from time to time up at the schloss. I suspect it is somewhat of a problem gone overlooked for a long time.
Tor Karlsvalt: done
Serge Voorhees: Serge Voorhees raises hand
Shep Titian: serge
Bagheera Kristan: raises hand higher
Shep Titian: Sorry Bags
Shep Titian: After serge
Bagheera Kristan: ty
Serge Voorhees: In answer to Tor:: as far as the “schloß” is concerned, I am unaware. I was only referring to the # of prims (from scripts) that are brought in by visiting ALTS as a cause of LAG, and hence discomfort. That is also the reason why you find PRIM-counters for visitors on some SIMS
Moonrise Azalee: Hey guys.. I’ve got to go
Moonrise Azalee: Family showed up a little while ago
Tor Karlsvalt: by Razzy
Tanoujin Milestone: Have a good time, Razzy πŸ™‚
Shep Titian: I don’t think we het enough visitors to worry lol
Bagheera Kristan: bye πŸ™‚
Moonrise Azalee: :/ Sorry!
Shep Titian: Bags
Lilith Ivory: bye Razzi
Moonrise Azalee: Razzy waves
Pip Torok: au revoir razzy
Moonrise Azalee: Bye
Shep Titian: byre Razz
Bagheera Kristan: I meant to mention this earlier, but it seems areas that used to have some restrictions on rezzing now are open to rezzing by anyone and I keep stumbling across random prims that shouldn’t be there. Just before todays’ meeting I found one, a purchased hair that belonged to someone I didn’t recognize. I don’t have the powers to return these and I forget to mention them
Tor Karlsvalt: Girls can start by taking off their hair.
Tor Karlsvalt: sorry
Bagheera Kristan: but somehow, I think permissions have gotten changed inadvertently over time and there are now random prims by people who shouldn’t be rezzing
Bagheera Kristan: CDS has – in my experience – been remarkably lag free, today’s experience is the first real exception
Tor Karlsvalt: raises hand
Shep Titian: The ims should be set to group
Shep Titian: Tor
Tor Karlsvalt: thanks
Bagheera Kristan: done
Tor Karlsvalt: Thakns Bags for finding that
Shep Titian: thanks Bags
Tor Karlsvalt: I have been limiting prims on some LV land.
Tor Karlsvalt: especially in CN.
Sudane Erato: there will always be a need for clean-up crews to return garbage
Tanoujin Milestone: i volunteer πŸ˜‰
Tor Karlsvalt: I know we recently changed much of he common land there from CN to LV and the perms might have been relaxed.
Bagheera Kristan: ah!
Tor Karlsvalt: I will look at that and restrict rezzing to only LV
Tor Karlsvalt: done
Shep Titian: Excellent
Tor Karlsvalt: But if you need LV perms see me or any other officer in LV.
Shep Titian: Is there anyone else here who would like to join Bags on a committee to check the sims?
Bagheera Kristan: a committee of one – LOL πŸ™‚
Bagheera Kristan: makes decision amking so much easier
Shep Titian: Looking that way
Pip Torok: theyre the most efficient, usually!
Sudane Erato: well, there are other residents not present who might help
Bagheera Kristan: yes πŸ™‚
Bagheera Kristan: I am laughing
Shep Titian: Yes I agree Sudane
Bagheera Kristan: well, I can start and people can join me as they please πŸ™‚
Shep Titian: Ok we’ll leave that as a work in progress .. but when it’s formed its yours Bags
Bagheera Kristan: okay, thank you πŸ™‚
Shep Titian: We’ll talk to some others to see who will help
Bagheera Kristan: I appreciate that πŸ™‚ I’ll put something on the forum too
Shep Titian: Yes cool
Shep Titian: Ok moving on
Shep Titian: Do you have an exec report Tor?
Tor Karlsvalt: thanks
Tor Karlsvalt: sure
Tor Karlsvalt: a few things
Shep Titian: You have thje floor
Tor Karlsvalt: first we have two new citizens, Candence Theus and Io ouch some thing
Tor Karlsvalt: both have parcels not in NFS.
Bagheera Kristan: hurrah !
Shep Titian: cool
Tor Karlsvalt: Second I have have placed a number of fachwerk on parcels and halved their land impact using the Convex Hull feature.
Tor Karlsvalt: I urge all to look into this, especially in NFS.
Shep Titian: so they buy a sofa now πŸ™‚
Tor Karlsvalt: πŸ™‚
Tor Karlsvalt: Also, we have had some goood work done in the guild re prefab houses for CDS
Tor Karlsvalt: Candence built a very good one and it can be viewed in LA on parcels 13 and 14
Sudane Erato: raise hand
Pip TorokPip Torok wd be happy to do an old4new swap of fachwerke in his inventory…
[b]Tor Karlsvalt: I am going to plan a spring fest with hopefully an art fair in he streets of CN.
Tor Karlsvalt: I think some time in April will be good for that.
Tor Karlsvalt: Also, we will be taking up he ice in the next several weeks.
Tor Karlsvalt: probably toward the middle of March.
Tor Karlsvalt: done
Shep Titian: how many is several?
Sudane Erato: πŸ™‚
Tor Karlsvalt: Well we have the schloss as a priority
Shep Titian: lol thats 2
Tor Karlsvalt: but I assume as soon as possible, I don’t want to go too far past the 15th
Tor Karlsvalt: I like the snow, but am tired of it.
Sudane Erato: I can change the ground texs whenever asked πŸ™‚
Tor Karlsvalt: and I hear Chicago might be 60 this week so…..

[13:20] Sudane Erato: but…
[13:20] Sudane Erato: you can always come and comment and suggest
[13:20] Shep Titian: Well I understood that it required RA approval
[13:21] Sudane Erato: our target as originally proposed was to be done by the next inaugural
[13:21] Sudane Erato: well… i guess you can approve it… that needed to be done before the old one was replaced
[13:21] Sudane Erato: sin ce we can no longer put the old one back
[13:22] Sudane Erato: an approval is kind of theortetical
[13:22] Sudane Erato: but you’re welcome to do that anytime
[13:22] Shep Titian: Right … I’m wondering why iy needs RA approval to be honesyt .. but its always been talked about that we give final approval
[13:22] Sudane Erato: or indicate things thgbat you’d like changed

[13:26] Shep Titian: DEar lord
[13:26] Moonrise Azalee: (laughs)
[13:26] Ranma Tardis: well I move to accept it and give our thanks to Sudane Erato and Rosie Grey
[13:26] Shep Titian: I second

[13:27] Ranma Tardis: my thanks to Rosie and Sudane
[13:27] Rosie Gray: thanks everyone
[13:28] Widget Whiteberry: it’s exciting to watch it take place
[13:28] Moonrise Azalee: (nods)
[13:28] Shep Titian: Ok moving on
[13:29] Shep Titian: The next are just discussion subjects .. which can be expanded to the forum
[13:29] Shep Titian: Private Use of public buildings
[13:30] Rosie Gray: Hi Kell
[13:30] Pip Torok: hi kellie !
[13:30] Kellie Wellesley: Β‘o???? Rosie
[13:30] Lilith Ivory: Hi Kellie πŸ™‚
[13:30] Shep Titian: Do we need to add a statement to our covenants that private use items be removed after the event
[13:30] Pip Torok: LOL
[13:30] Kellie Wellesley: Β‘o???? Pip, Lilith Tan everyone
[13:31] Shep Titian: Hi Kellie
[13:31] Lilith Ivory: (raises her hand)
[13:31] Shep Titian: Lil
[13:31] Lilith Ivory: (smiles)
[13:32] Lilith Ivory: I only wanted to say that I think it is great what Widget does for our community and that we have a lot of other deserted public buildings which needed to be filled with life.
[13:33] Sudane Erato: agree!
[13:33] Lilith Ivory: IΒ΄m sure any of our citizens was more than welcome to hold an event there whenever she or he would like
[13:33] Rosie Gray: I agree too
[13:33] Shep Titian: Yes .. so do we ignore covenant then?
[13:33] Lilith Ivory: and get the support of our executive team
[13:33] Lilith Ivory: what part of the covenant exactly Shep?
[13:34] Shep Titian: Timeline
[13:34] Lilith Ivory: I think itΒ΄s more important to have life in our community than matching chairs in an empty Sim
[13:34] Ranma Tardis: letting a group take control of public property is stealing from the community
[13:34] Rosie Gray: (raises hand)
[13:35] Pip Torok: raises hand
[13:35] Lilith Ivory: not stealing, just lenting
[13:35] Shep Titian: Rosie
[13:35] Ranma Tardis: why can’t I have a free lot for my group?
[13:35] Rosie Gray: well I’d just like to point out that it was all done with the approval of the Chancellor and executive
[13:35] Rosie Gray: so calling this ‘stealing’ is really out of line, in my view
[13:35] Ranma Tardis: who ingored my summons
[13:36] Shep Titian: Yes and he is restricted from allowing change
[13:36] Ranma Tardis: as a community we survive on tier
[13:36] Rosie Gray: he hasnt’ changed any covenant
[13:36] Shep Titian: Why was it so impossible to remove the items?
[13:36] Shep Titian: Pip
[13:37] Widget Whiteberry: Are we talking about removal of VS items?
[13:37] Rosie Gray: and Ranma, I would suggest that you or anyone else that has a group that wants to hold regular, well publicized public functions could probably arrange to have a plot to do so
[13:37] Rosie Gray: finished
[13:37] Pip Torok: 2 things … 1st its always possible to create a linked structure and install/remove it in seconds
[13:37] Shep Titian: Exactly Pip
[13:37] Lilith Ivory: (raises hand to comment on Pip)
[13:38] Pip Torok: 2nd imo covenants should be as light and as slim as possible … and allot most items to informal arrangements
[13:38] Pip Torok: done
[13:38] Ranma Tardis: though you miss my point, how will we survive without tier
[13:38] Ranma Tardis: ?
[13:38] Shep Titian: Then the group gets its use and those of us that don’t want things there between meets have what we want too
[13:38] Moonrise Azalee: (raises hand)
[13:38] Shep Titian: Lil
[13:39] Shep Titian: then Razzy after
[13:39] Tanoujin Milestone: (Tanoujin Milestone rises hand to comment on Ranma and waits)
[13:39] Rosie Gray: (raises hand again too)
[13:39] Lilith Ivory: I only wanted to say that is is not as easy to create a linked structure as Pip thinks as it depends on the permissions of the different items
[13:40] Sudane Erato: linked or not linked, a rezzor can handle the job easily
[13:40] Shep Titian: We have excellent builders that could help
[13:40] Shep Titian: Razz
[13:40] Shep Titian: then Tan then Rosie
[13:40] Moonrise Azalee: Well, I will say that I disagree.. it is not tier that holds a community… it is comeraderie…
[13:40] Moonrise Azalee: and activity
[13:40] Shep Titian: Lol
[13:41] Moonrise Azalee: tier makes a sim. not a community. Thats all.
[13:41] Moonrise Azalee: done
[13:41] Shep Titian: Yes if there are sims left
[13:41] Sudane Erato: yes!
[13:41] Ranma Tardis: tier pays for the sims
[13:41] Pip Torok:
[13:41] Sudane Erato: yes to Razzy
[13:41Moonrise Azalee: I guess im missing something…
[13:41] Moonrise Azalee: Im not sure how allowing a parcel for a group to use…
[13:41] Shep Titian: Tan
[13:41] Ranma Tardis: so the community is paying for this free lot
[13:42] Razzy: is setting up the failure of a sim.
[13:42] Tanoujin Milestone: Ranma, we are mixing topics, if we have a controveres between liberals and socialists, let us have that – if it is about chairs, let us stick to that
[13:42] Moonrise Azalee: (realizes we have lots of vacant lots anyhow)
[13:42] Widget Whiteberry: (raises her hand to comment on tier)
[13:42] Moonrise Azalee: anyhow.. sorry. im done
[13:42] Ranma Tardis: Sundane are we meeting expenses?
[13:42] Tanoujin Milestone: I appreciate what you say, Razzy
[13:42] Shep Titian: Widget
[13:42] Widget Whiteberry: ty
[13:42] Widget Whiteberry: Ranma hasn’t explained the connection between tier and use of public space. I am paying slightly less now that I’ve created a skybox.
[13:43] Widget Whiteberry: More importantly
[13:43] Widget Whiteberry: I don’t see availability of public spaces for privately produced events as a draw.
[13:44] Moonrise Azalee: (nods)
[13:44] Widget Whiteberry: I’m hoping once the rules are clear that will change.
[13:44] Widget Whiteberry: done
[13:44] Ranma Tardis: the connection is on a private lot she can maintain her groups objects
[13:44] Widget Whiteberry:
[13:44] Shep Titian: No .. I like public spaces to be just that
[13:44] Ranma Tardis: put out any political message no matter how vulgar
[13:44] Rosie Gray: perhaps LRA could keep people from interrupting when it’s not their turn?
[13:44] Shep Titian: BUT if someone really wants to use one just clear it up
[13:44] Moonrise Azalee: (laughs)
[13:45] Shep Titian: Ok .. easily solved .. take it to the forum
[13:45] Shep Titian: Moving on
[13:45] Widget Whiteberry: (raises hand to address rezzing and removal of objects)
[13:45] Pip Torok: (remembers london democratic sessions that were _ever_ so vulgar ….)
[13:45] Sudane Erato: πŸ™‚
[13:46] Rosie Gray: heheh
[13:46] Ranma Tardis: well they insulted the head of my political party
[13:46] Ranma Tardis: The President of the United States
[13:46] Shep Titian: Stop fighting
[13:46] Rosie Gray: (chortles)
[13:47] Kellie Wellesley: Every president of the US has been insulted for the last 200 years
[13:47] Ranma Tardis: further a member of my extended rl family
[13:47] Lilith Ivory: (mumbles something about freedom of speech)
[13:47] Kellie Wellesley: I would worry if it didn’t happen
[13:47] Shep Titian: OK who wants to take some chancellors powers away?
[13:47] Shep Titian: Mumble in the forum Lileth
[13:47] Ranma Tardis: but this is on public land and it looks like the cds endorses the message
[13:47] Widget Whiteberry: (raises hand to address rezzing and removal of objects)
[13:48] Tanoujin Milestone: me raises hand
[13:48] Shep Titian: Ranma I will abort the meeting
[13:48] Shep Titian: Tan
[13:48] Moonrise Azalee: I will second that
[13:48] Tanoujin Milestone: i would like to ask you, chair
[13:49] Tanoujin Milestone: to let have Widget have the last say on the topic
[13:49] Widget Whiteberry: ty
[13:49] Tanoujin Milestone: and move on, please?
[13:49] Widget Whiteberry: 2 comments
[13:49] Widget Whiteberry: If we want to encourage private use of public space, it would be useful to create rules that allow some flexibility. Take ‘clean-up’ – which I agree with. For example, some events don’t actually end after the formal period. I recommend a case by case agreement.
[13:49] Shep Titian: Ok Widget .. with NO right of reply
[13:49] Widget Whiteberry: ah 3, and ok
[13:49] Widget Whiteberry: It might be useful to anticipate different uses of public spaces and create some set ups that are linked.
[13:50] Lilith Ivory: good ideas
[13:50] Widget Whiteberry: I think I’ll leave it at that
[13:51] Shep Titian: Would you be interested in investigating that Widget and coming up with some ideas?
[13:51] Widget Whiteberry: thinking
[13:51] Widget Whiteberry: I’d contribute to that kind of idea generation
[13:52] Widget Whiteberry: for public spaces are going to remain as they are now
[13:52] Widget Whiteberry: if a redesign is in the works, I’d hold off
[13:53] Shep Titian: Maybe it would be a good use of the Guild .. what do you think Rosie?
[13:53] Rosie Gray: absolutely
[13:54] Rosie Gray: it could be our next project for the guild, if the Ra would like that
[13:54] Widget Whiteberry: (smiles encouragement at Rosie)
[13:54] Moonrise Azalee: nods
[13:55] Shep Titian: Cool .. ok does the rest of RA approve of the Guild and featuring Widget formulate some plans for public builds to be used and returned to normal quickly?
[13:55] Moonrise Azalee: yes
[13:55] Shep Titian: Tan?
[13:56] Tanoujin Milestone: SUre, and we could ask the guild to get on the job officialy
[13:56] Shep Titian: Ran ?
[13:56] Ranma Tardis: nay
[13:56] Rosie Gray: (nods)
[13:56] Shep Titian: Why nay?
[13:56] Ranma Tardis: no RA oversight
[13:57] Shep Titian: Yes I was going to Tan but we don’t have 4 votes
[13:57] Tanoujin Milestone: (scratches her head)
[13:57] Shep Titian: WEll yes .. they are employed by us
[13:57] Shep Titian: and report back
[13:59] Tanoujin Milestone: Ranma , would you agree to redesign of public spaces so they can be used
and cleaned up again by the guild?
[14:00] Tanoujin Milestone: and if not, why?
[14:00] Ranma Tardis: want to hear more
[14:00] Shep Titian: Ok I’ll do it this way … I propse that RA ask the guild and Widget if they will come up with some ideas for the fast removal of items from private use of public buildings and report back before implementing any .. for approval by RA
[14:00] Ranma Tardis: nods

[14:02] Shep Titian: Excellent … Rosie will you be kind enough to approve the Guild working for us
[14:02] Rosie Gray: yes Madam LRA
[14:02] Rosie Gray: (smiles)
[14:02] Tanoujin Milestone: fantastic!
[14:02] Moonrise Azalee: grins
[14:02] Rosie Gray: I’ll call a meeting soon to discuss this
[14:03] Shep Titian: Excellent .. we have a plan
[14:03] Lilith Ivory: yay
[14:03] Moonrise Azalee: claps
[14:03] Sudane Erato: bravo!
[14:03] Ranma Tardis: raises hand
[14:03] Shep Titian: Ran
[14:04] Ranma Tardis: am not happy I summoned the chancellor as per the Constitution and he ignored the summons
[14:05] Shep Titian: Yes and he shouls attend for the exec report
[14:05] Widget Whiteberry: I hope he’s alright
[14:05] Shep Titian: But we don’t know why
[14:05] Shep Titian: Its not like him to miss
[14:06] Rosie Gray: he’s had a lot of problems logging in recently
[14:06] Lilith Ivory: I saw him today and somehow I think he was not aware he had to answer questions here today
[14:06] Shep Titian: He has to attend RA once a month
[14:06] Sudane Erato: raise hand
[14:06] Shep Titian: Its in the constitution
[14:07] Shep Titian: Sudane
[14:07] Sudane Erato: question of information
[14:07] Callipygian Christensen: (raises her hand)
[14:07] Sudane Erato: itenmn 2 on the agenda refers to some right that the chancellor has to take away a persons land
[14:07] Shep Titian: After Sudane Calli
[14:07] Sudane Erato: i’ve never heard of such a right
[14:08] Sudane Erato: could you identify and define it?
[14:08] Sudane Erato: done
[14:08] Shep Titian: Well I read it this week in the constitution
[14:08] Pip Torok: (is VERY relieved to hear that …)
[14:08] Shep Titian: One dec I’ll get it
[14:09] Callipygian Christensen: it is in the Consitution and has been forever πŸ™‚ It came up in discussion last term as well iirc
[14:09] Tanoujin Milestone: (e) subject to the payment of adequate compensation to any citizen or citizens thereby affected, reclaim or swap any land…
[14:09] Tanoujin Milestone: and
[14:09] Tanoujin Milestone: (a) to determine the use to which any and all land in CDS shall be put;
[14:10] Shep Titian: Ok .. I’ll be a few mins
[14:10] Sudane Erato: ahh… the old “eminnent domain” issue…
[14:10] Shep Titian: bre good
[14:11] Callipygian Christensen: it’s a reasonable power, and seldom used and rightly so – I dont recall it being used in my time in CDS
[14:11] Lilith Ivory: (nods)
[14:11] Sudane Erato: nor do i
[14:11] Ranma Tardis: nods
[14:12] Tanoujin Milestone: The Chancellor of CDS shall, *subject to the laws* of CDS, have the power:
[14:12] Tanoujin Milestone: so, we make the laws here, right?
[14:12] Sudane Erato: we try πŸ™‚
[14:12] Tanoujin Milestone: and we can limit the power by law
[14:13] Tanoujin Milestone: so true, Sudane .-D
[14:13] Moonrise Azalee: Hey everyone.. I have to head off to work
[14:13] Callipygian Christensen: (would respectuflly sggest that things that aren’t broken might not need fixin’ πŸ™‚
[14:14] Widget Whiteberry: (wonders what’s broken here)
[14:14] Tanoujin Milestone: not in the constitution if we can regulate it by law
[14:14] Callipygian Christensen: (and my hand is still up re the previous matter of the Chancellor appearing)
[14:14] Rosie Gray: (waves goodbye to Razzy)
[14:14] Tanoujin Milestone: Bye, Razzy
[14:14] Lilith Ivory: bye Razzy
[14:14] Pip Torok: bye razz … dont work too hard …
[14:14] Moonrise Azalee: Sorry for being late and having to leave early. I only had an hour today πŸ™
[14:14] Shep Titian: (e) subject to the payment of adequate compensation to any citizen or citizens thereby affected, reclaim or swap any land held by any citizen of CDS for the purposes of discharging any function of the Office of the Chancellor conferred by this Act or any other Act of the Representative Assembly, provided always that no citizen of CDS shall not be caused to have no holding in Neufriestadt at all thereby;
[14:14] Moonrise Azalee: (waves)
[14:15] Shep Titian: Sorry it would’nt open
[14:15] Moonrise Azalee: Bye Shep πŸ™‚
[14:15] Ranma Tardis: bye bye Razzy
[14:15] Shep Titian: O bye Razz
[14:15] Shep Titian: aee you over there!! lol
[14:16] Sudane Erato: raise hand
[14:16] Callipygian Christensen: me?
[14:17] Shep Titian: I found that peregraph a little startling
[14:17] Callipygian Christensen: just to clarify – was Tor sent a notecard requesting that he appear?
[14:17] Shep Titian: Sudane
[14:17] Shep Titian: No Calli Razz
[14:17] Callipygian Christensen: oh sorry..thought you wanted me to go ahead lol
[14:17] Shep Titian: I was too slow posting
[14:17] Sudane Erato: i’m just wondering why this issue is being brought to the RA… was there any event which prompted it?
[14:17] Sudane Erato: done
[14:18] Shep Titian: Yes .. I read it :)))
[14:18] Sudane Erato: πŸ™‚
[14:18] Sudane Erato: ok…
[14:18] Shep Titian: LOL
[14:18] Sudane Erato: understood πŸ™‚
[14:18] Shep Titian: well its for discussion
[14:18] Callipygian Christensen: ok..so to speak to Ranma’s disappointment, if he didn’t recieve a formal request I think it’s probably easiest to just send one for the next meeting πŸ™‚
[14:19] Shep Titian: And I’m sure Tor won’t play musical parcels
[14:19] Shep Titian: But he could
[14:19] Ranma Tardis: it was in the forums
[14:20] Shep Titian: I checked that too .. it needs to be a notecard Ranma
[14:20] Callipygian Christensen: I don’t think a forum post qualifies as ‘written request’ Ranma..a notecard in world would be the standard or an e-mail
[14:20] Ranma Tardis: notecards are no good because there is no way to verify delivery
[14:21] Lilith Ivory: if you send a notecard itΒ΄s in your transaction history
[14:21] Ranma Tardis: he could always calaim he did not get it
[14:21] Ranma Tardis: got a notecard not what
[14:21] Pip Torok: (prefers “invitation” to “summons” any day …)
[14:21] Callipygian Christensen: Your transaction history will show delivery Ranma..just title the notecard so that it can be recognizable
[14:22] Rosie Gray: (completely agrees that politeness counts)
[14:22] Ranma Tardis: still where does it say it has to be notecard?
[14:22] Shep Titian: One sec
[14:23] Tanoujin Milestone: The Chancellor will also attend upon three days notice at the written request from any member of the Representative Assembly.
[14:23] Callipygian Christensen: The Consitution says ‘written request’ – in world a written request is a notecard
[14:23] Tanoujin Milestone: Section (
[14:23] Lilith Ivory: (raises her hand)
[14:23] Ranma Tardis: forum is written too
[14:23] Tanoujin Milestone: there he is
[14:23] Rosie Gray: speak of the devil!
[14:23] Sudane Erato: hehe
[14:23] Lilith Ivory: (grins)
[14:23] Shep Titian: Section 8 – RA Oversight
Each month the Chancellor shall attend a meeting of the Representative Assembly, and fully and truthfully answer there any questions posed by any citizen about any aspect of the affairs of the CDS or of the Office of the Chancellor. The Chancellor will also attend upon three days notice at the written request from any member of the Representative Assembly.
[14:24] Pip Torok: (raises hand)
[14:24] Shep Titian: Pip
[14:24] Lilith Ivory: Hi Tor πŸ™‚
[14:24] Rosie Gray: hello Herr Chancellor
[14:24] Tanoujin Milestone: Tor πŸ™‚
[14:24] Shep Titian: Hi Tor
[14:25] Tor Karlsvalt: HI all
[14:25] Ranma Tardis: Tor *smiles*
[14:25] Widget Whiteberry: waves to Tor
[14:25] Tanoujin Milestone: (leans back and lights a cigarette)
[14:25] Tor Karlsvalt: Sorry I am so late. We were having a beautiful day here and just finished my 4 mile walk.
[14:25] Shep Titian: LMAO
[14:25] Pip Torok: may i suggest that when a member of the RA makes such a request, she declares that she makes it _as_ a menber of the RA .. and in addition gets the “nod” from other RA members?
[14:26] Shep Titian: (whispers) Is about to give up LOL
[14:26] Lilith Ivory: (raises her hand again)
[14:26] Pip Torok: done (btw)
[14:26] Callipygian Christensen: Pip – the ok of all RA members is not required..the form of request is πŸ™‚
[14:26] Ranma Tardis: As a member of the RA am requesting the presence of the CDS Chancellor Tor at the next meeting of the RA April 7. This involves RA oversight of his office.
[14:26] Shep Titian: Can we decide if it needs talking about .. the chancellors power lol
[14:26] Shep Titian: RAMNA!!!
[14:27] Sudane Erato: πŸ™‚
[14:27] Shep Titian: Ok I’m giving up on that last I’ll take it to the forum myself
[14:28] Tor Karlsvalt: Raises hand
[14:28] Shep Titian: There being o commission reports we move to executive report and ask the chancellor time
[14:28] Shep Titian: Tor you have the floor
[14:29] Tor Karlsvalt: Thank you
[14:29] Tor Karlsvalt: I have been asked to inform the RA abut the policy of approving th euse of public land.
[14:30] Tor Karlsvalt: As far as I can find, there is no other policy other than public land is available for use by any citizen of CDS. The exec ‘s have as I can see only felt a need to ensure there are no conflicts between use of public land.
[14:31] Widget Whiteberry: (listens)
[14:32] Tor Karlsvalt: As far as attendance is concerned, the Chancellor is required I belive to attend only one RA per term. Usually this is for the state of the Confederation. I think the record would show that I have attended all of the RA sessions, probably a record some RA members might envy.
[14:32] Sudane Erato: πŸ™‚
[14:32] Shep Titian: Per month Tor
[14:32] Rosie Gray: πŸ˜€
[14:33] Tor Karlsvalt: Well I may stand corrected, but I would have to review the constitution again.
[14:33] Tor Karlsvalt: I know I am required to attend one.
[14:33] Callipygian Christensen: It IS ‘each month’ Tor
[14:34] Shep Titian: Section 8 – RA Oversight
Each month the Chancellor shall attend a meeting of the Representative Assembly, and fully and truthfully answer there any questions posed by any citizen about any aspect of the affairs of the CDS or of the Office of the Chancellor. The Chancellor will also attend upon three days notice at the written request from any member of the Representative Assembly.
[14:34] Callipygian Christensen: But since members of RA weren’t overly familiar with the Consitution either, no fault in you not being aware either lol
[14:34] Tor Karlsvalt: Ok, as we have only one per month, it seems the chancellor has a more stringent requirement than an RA member
[14:34] Sudane Erato: hehe
[14:35] Lilith Ivory: (grins)
[14:35] Tor Karlsvalt: In any case, I am sure that I am always available to discuss issues.
[14:35] Tanoujin Milestone: (throws a softball in Calli’s direction)
[14:35] Shep Titian: I hope you are’nt pointing at me
[14:35] Tor Karlsvalt: oh me no, not at anyone.
[14:36] Tor Karlsvalt: I would make just one more observation.
[14:36] Shep Titian: I don’t think I’ve missed a single meeting
[14:36] Shep Titian: Rambling
[14:36] Tor Karlsvalt: VS has been a wonderful event in CDS.
[14:36] Callipygian Christensen: background info _ the ‘eachmonth’ stems from the days RA met every two weeks – it may be something to look at changing.
[14:36] Ranma Tardis: raises hand
[14:36] Tor Karlsvalt: done
[14:37] Rosie Gray: (gets up and sneaks quietly away)
[14:37] Shep Titian: Bye Rosie
[14:37] Tor Karlsvalt: bye Rosie
[14:37] Shep Titian: Ran
[14:38] Ranma Tardis: just want to know how you feel executive power should be use when determining public land usuage?
[14:38] Shep Titian: I don’t see why Tor should have a lesser meeting ratio than us
[14:38] Tor Karlsvalt: May I answer?
[14:38] Shep Titian: Yes
[14:38] Ranma Tardis: please
[14:39] Tor Karlsvalt: I feel the exec role is merely one of scheduling and ensuring that all citizens have access to public land.
[14:39] Tor Karlsvalt: Naturally, events my conflict.
[14:40] Tor Karlsvalt: And the exec would have to ensure that there is no conflict.
[14:40] Tor Karlsvalt: I my knowledge nobody complained to me that they had an event they could not hold in a public place.
[14:40] Shep Titian: Gwyn did
[14:40] Shep Titian: Its in the forum
[14:41] Tor Karlsvalt: If they had, I am sure arrangements would have been made to accomodate alll events.
[14:41] Tor Karlsvalt: Well I am very easy to contct
[14:41] Shep Titian: She wanted the amphitheatre anjd was put off
[14:41] Shep Titian: Asked for ideas of an alternative
[14:41] Tor Karlsvalt: If you send me an email, IM or fb message you can reach me
[14:41] Tor Karlsvalt: I have a mailbox on my house
[14:42] Sudane Erato: I tink Gwyn should speak to her own reaction to that situation
[14:42] Tor Karlsvalt: Gwyn never asked me first.
[14:42] Pip Torok: (feels it was a shame tht no approach was made for use of the OldBowl)
[14:42] Shep Titian: I’m only sharing what she posted
[14:42] Tor Karlsvalt: Second, I and widget were the only people here who attended her meeting.
[14:42] Shep Titian: I think someone spoke with her but I forget who
[14:42] Tor Karlsvalt: She nver mentioned use of the Amphitheater at that time.
[14:42] Widget Whiteberry: (nods)
[14:43] Shep Titian: Yes she did
[14:43] Tor Karlsvalt: This whole thing was probably less an issue with Gwyn than with everyone else.
[14:43] Shep Titian: said it was one of the places she could use a certain stream
[14:43] Sudane Erato: I am sure that what Tor says is true about Gwyn’s feeling
[14:44] Tor Karlsvalt: As far as I know her event was not hindered.
[14:44] Shep Titian: I really don’t see why this has exercized people so much .. by all means use public land .. just clear up
[14:45] Tanoujin Milestone: (raises hand)
[14:45] Ranma Tardis: raises hand
[14:45] Tor Karlsvalt: I do apologize for the appearance that public land seemed to have been taken over.
[14:45] Shep Titian: You Cannot care that the wrong trees are on the beach then say its ok to have a load of modern stuff on permanent show
[14:45] Tor Karlsvalt: That will not happen again.
[14:45] Shep Titian: Tan
[14:46] Tanoujin Milestone: I have a comment
[14:46] Tanoujin Milestone: we have elements of a presidental system
[14:46] Shep Titian: go ahead
[14:46] Tanoujin Milestone: the chancellor is elected
[14:46] Tor Karlsvalt: However I still would like to point out, that VS has brought at least 14 ppl into the sim twice a week. Not to mention the sims get free publicity on the LL calendar, the VS group and the Pulse Group.
[14:46] Tor Karlsvalt: done, sorry
[14:46] Tanoujin Milestone: and he is responsible for management of events and all kind of administrative tasks
[14:46] Shep Titian: Where has the fishing gone?
[14:47] Tanoujin Milestone: so, if people want to hold him responsible, there are elections too for it
[14:47] Tanoujin Milestone: RA is here to check his actions
[14:47] Shep Titian: Of course
[14:47] Tor Karlsvalt: I stopped the fishing. It was just costing money and it seemed little return.
[14:48] Tanoujin Milestone: but we should appreciate what -he does as a volunteer and give him a little freedom and space to ‘work* done
[14:48] Sudane Erato: bravo
[14:48] Widget Whiteberry: Tor – pt of info – notices go to 6 inworld groups.
[14:48] Shep Titian: It gave us green dots also
[14:48] Tor Karlsvalt: Ranma was kind to continue it for a month longer at her own expense.
[14:48] Callipygian Christensen: (applauds)
[14:48] Pip Torok: (strongly agrees)
[14:49] Shep Titian: Ok can we wind up
[14:49] Tor Karlsvalt: raises hand
[14:49] Shep Titian: this cold is devloping nicely
[14:49] Shep Titian: Tor
[14:49] Tor Karlsvalt: Thanks
[14:50] Ranma Tardis: raises hand
[14:50] Shep Titian: Oh then Ran
[14:50] Shep Titian: I forgot
[14:50] Tor Karlsvalt: Heads up! SL10B is coming
[14:50] Tor Karlsvalt: I will have a meeting on it probably Wednesday Evening and Friday Morning.
[14:50] Shep Titian: The beach party was great last year
[14:51] Tor Karlsvalt: We have to apply between the 15 thru the 20th.
[14:51] Shep Titian: Not much time
[14:51] Tor Karlsvalt: WE need to get ready this term so we are ready for the event in mid June
[14:51] Tor Karlsvalt: Well we can’t apply until the 15th
[14:52] Shep Titian: ok just after nre RA session
[14:52] Tor Karlsvalt: I will apply no mater what we have
[14:52] Tor Karlsvalt: ok done, and I hope you get over your cold.
[14:52] Shep Titian: ok
[14:52] Shep Titian: Ranma
[14:52] Shep Titian: lol me too
[14:53] Ranma Tardis: my only concern is the appearance of government endorsement of functions done on public land
[14:54] Ranma Tardis: I praise Widgets involvement in her meetings
[14:54] Shep Titian: Well I think it was all lost in excitement by some Ran
[14:54] Ranma Tardis: and I agree with some of it
[14:54] Shep Titian: I don’t see it as that
[14:55] Ranma Tardis: well it is my view and seems I am in the minority
[14:55] Shep Titian: Did you ever get a reply to that message you sent?
[14:55] Widget Whiteberry: (had no idea there was any implied endoresement of anything other than citizens producing events open to the public.)
[14:55] Ranma Tardis: it is how I see it right or wrong
[14:56] Tanoujin Milestone: (listens)
[14:56] Shep Titian: Probably because I’m a Brit I don’t see that so much
[14:56] Tor Karlsvalt: Frankly I just never even thought about it seeming and endorsement of VS views. But I understand the issue once it was expressed.
[14:56] Ranma Tardis: wish I understood European politics better
[14:56] Shep Titian: Being not that interested in American politics .. sorry
[14:56] Ranma Tardis: maybe a sign
[14:56] Tor Karlsvalt: Well in future perhaps we should have a sign about views expressed here do not represent the views of the CDS.
[14:57] Pip Torok: you and me both, Ranma!
[14:57] Widget Whiteberry: I was’nt aware that VS had consistent or uniform views
[14:57] Callipygian Christensen: So ask that a sign be put up stating ‘The views of this event do not necesarilly reflect the vies of the CDS’ during events
[14:57] Tor Karlsvalt: It is on private land now
[14:57] Ranma Tardis: yes she does a great job of running it
[14:57] Tanoujin Milestone: Yes, it is solved, an interesting question though that Ranma rised here
[14:57] Tor Karlsvalt: you are right Widget, I think that is why I didn’t see any problem.
[14:57] Sudane Erato: there is NO reason to even consider that events should express the views of the CDS!
[14:58] Callipygian Christensen: We are a democracy – that implies that we encourage open and honest exchange of viewpoints
[14:58] Widget Whiteberry: Sudane ++
[14:58] Sudane Erato: exactly
[14:58] Ranma Tardis: on private land there is no reason
[14:58] Shep Titian: Ok folks
[14:59] Shep Titian: No announcements
[14:59] Sudane Erato: so long as public land is open to all citizens and their views, there is no reason on public land either
[14:59] Shep Titian: Date next meeting
[14:59] Ranma Tardis: one last thing, I would like to raise money for relay for life
[14:59] Tor Karlsvalt: Just to insert in thoh ok Ranma
[14:59] Tor Karlsvalt: we should talk about that
[14:59] Shep Titian: Sunday 5th May at 1pm SLT
[14:59] Tor Karlsvalt: k
[15:00] Sudane Erato: hey… that’s the orthodox Easter! πŸ™‚

[13:13] Bagheera Kristan: they are all bundled together
[13:13] Shep: Is that a serious suggestion or a remark in support?
[13:13] Bagheera Kristan: ?? sorry
[13:13] Shep: Well look around you
[13:13] Tanoujin Milestone: me? Serious
[13:14] Shep: lol
[13:14] Tanoujin Milestone: it is called the lame duck meeting
[13:14] Tanoujin Milestone: we are quorate
[13:14] Shep: Not for anything big Tan
[13:15] Tanoujin Milestone: maybe
[13:15] Shep: And we would not have given notice
[13:16] Lilith Ivory: brb, I need to relog
[13:16] Shep: I could happily stand here and say I propose that we close LA .. it does’nt attract citizens
[13:16] Free Radar HUDFree Radar HUD v1.1 by Crystal Gadgets
[13:16] Tanoujin Milestone: i am ready to discuss it
[13:17] Bagheera Kristan: I could happily disagree. I was there this morning and I noticed new citizens have moved in
[13:17] Bagheera Kristan: Anti’s parcel is beautiful, by the way
[13:17] Tanoujin Milestone: yes, anti knows how to make gardens
[13:17] Shep: Ok .. then I propose we bite the bullet and ditch LA
[13:17] Bagheera Kristan: There were two others that were new and not government or Tan’s projects
[13:18] Bagheera Kristan: Opposed
[13:18] Shep: Discuss
[13:18] Tanoujin Milestone: wb, Lilith
[13:18] Lilith Ivory: thanks
[13:18] Tanoujin Milestone: would you name them, Bags?
[13:18] Shep: wb Lil
[13:18] Bagheera Kristan: I want to but I would have to go back and look
[13:18] Bagheera Kristan: I didn’t write them down
[13:18] Lilith Ivory: thanks Shep
[13:18] Bagheera Kristan: I noticed Anti and then two others by the river. Tor has a new place I think
[13:19] Tanoujin Milestone: I will keep my holdings during this term. Anyone can start a project there
[13:19] Shep: Bags they are doing it to keep the sim ticking over
[13:19] Shep: Its not because they want to be there
[13:20] Bagheera Kristan: Where are our new citizens settling?
[13:20] Bagheera Kristan: who are a new new citizens?
[13:20] Shep: What new citizens?
[13:20] Lilith Ivory: I might have missed we got new citizens πŸ™
[13:20] Tanoujin Milestone: Have you noticed Cadence?
[13:20] Lilith Ivory: didnΒ΄t see any land scanner message about new citizens
[13:20] Bagheera Kristan: and Cadence has been very busy in LA
[13:21] Tanoujin Milestone: Yes. I hope we can welcome her at the guild soon. She is living in NFS
[13:21] Bagheera Kristan: Anyways, I’m not ready to give up on LA yet, because I believe giving up on LA would be giving up on CDS
[13:21] Bagheera Kristan: but I am just one voice and can be overruled
[13:22] Lilith IvoryLilith Ivory raises her hand
[13:22] Shep: Lil
[13:22] Lilith Ivory: in my opinion we should give a try what we figured out at the previous LA meetings first
[13:22] Lilith Ivory: there have been a lot of good ideas about changing the covenent and adding more water
[13:22] Lilith Ivory: but somehow this got stck
[13:23] Shep: This is the point with CDS
[13:23] Lilith Ivory: stuck
[13:23] Tanoujin Milestone: Isn’t the chair of the development working group present here atm?
[13:23] Shep: things start the right way and then it all stops
[13:23] Lilith Ivory: thatΒ΄s CS at itΒ΄s bset IΒ΄m afraid πŸ™
[13:23] Lilith Ivory: best
[13:24] Tanoujin Milestone: we can do better. Easily
[13:24] Lilith Ivory: imo we should give it one more try next term before we dump LA
[13:24] Tanoujin Milestone: we need a regional meeting in every case
[13:24] Tanoujin Milestone: and we need to contact alexia
[13:25] Lilith Ivory: and we need to ask the guild to take care about it
[13:25] Shep: I just honesrly don’t see how we can get new citizens
[13:25] Lilith Ivory: imo a mediteran theme is more tempting for new citizens than our roman theme
[13:25] Shep: Yes she could have the two plots on CN by the river
[13:25] Tanoujin Milestone: Bags, excuse me, are you still the chair of the development group for LA
[13:25] Tanoujin Milestone: ?
[13:26] Bagheera Kristan: well, I had meant to do more activities – the one chariot race I held did get new people to come. but IRL – my dad has been sick and my time has been limited
[13:26] Shep: That group did’nt develop did it
[13:26] Bagheera Kristan: no
[13:26] Tanoujin Milestone: πŸ™‚ i so know what you mean, Bags, really
[13:26] Shep: Rosie was going to help if I recall
[13:26] Bagheera Kristan: I apologize, I dropped teh ball
[13:26] Bagheera Kristan: I’d really like to try again
[13:27] Tanoujin Milestone: I just want you to realize there is support
[13:27] Bagheera Kristan: thank you
[13:27] Lilith Ivory: as far as I know a lot of people were willing to support a change of the theme
[13:27] Tanoujin Milestone: let us give it another try. Go back to that discussions
[13:27] Bagheera Kristan: yes
[13:28] Shep: Yes but a new one was’nt chosen
[13:28] Shep: Just like everything else
[13:28] Bagheera Kristan: there was discussion to make it broader – more recent Mediterranean
[13:28] Tanoujin Milestone: Hi Calli
[13:28] Lilith Ivory: Hi Calli πŸ™‚
[13:28] Callipygian Christensen: hi hi
[13:28] Shep: Hi Calli πŸ™‚
[13:28] Lilith Ivory: exactly
[13:29] Bagheera Kristan: hi Calli πŸ™‚
[13:29] Bagheera Kristan: if I am not holding a governmetn office next term, can I still head up the committee?
[13:29] Tanoujin Milestone: sure, why not?
[13:29] Shep: But that has’nt been made official
[13:29] Bagheera Kristan: okay
[13:30] Shep: Yes Bags
[13:30] Tanoujin Milestone: You can do even more, Bags
[13:31] Tanoujin Milestone: you can take the parcels we hold and demonstrate the concept
[13:31] Tanoujin Milestone: possibly people join
[13:31] Shep: That’s a good idea
[13:31] Bagheera Kristan: yes
[13:31] Shep: But there is l;and for sale everywhere atm
[13:32] Tanoujin Milestone: it could be for sale with prefabs
[13:32] Bagheera Kristan: well, I know things that don’t involve sim changes, but just getting people to look around – races, primtionary, hunts, that sort of thing too
[13:32] Shep: Ok .. lrys say after the election .. we have a doo or die push on LA
[13:32] Bagheera Kristan: sounds good
[13:33] Tanoujin MilestoneTanoujin Milestone nods
[13:33] Shep: Ok well we’ll come back to it in a few weeks
[13:34] Shep: Anymore on the subject?
[13:34] Tanoujin Milestone: done so far
[13:34] Shep: ok moving on
[13:35] Shep: No old business .. so to new business
[13:35] Tanoujin Milestone: brb
[13:35] Shep: Bags .. would you like to outline your idea?
[13:35] Bagheera Kristan: yes, I have a long piece to cut and paste, shall I wait for Tan to return?
[13:35] Shep: yes please
[13:36] Bagheera Kristan: okay – well the short version is I am withdrawing the idea of the Amendment but I have something I’d like to say… I will wait
[13:36] Tanoujin Milestone: b, sorry
[13:36] Shep: Ok .. Bags go ahead
[13:36] Bagheera Kristan: this will be a big block of text – shouldI do it in chunks or all at once?
[13:36] Shep: wb Tan
[13:37] Bagheera Kristan: I will do it in chunks
[13:37] Shep: Once
[13:37] Shep: then we can discuss it
[13:37] Bagheera Kristan: okay, all at once, here it is…
[13:37] Lilith Ivory: wb
[13:37] Bagheera Kristan: It seems, from the discussion on the forum, that people don’t feel there is a need or are opposed to the Amendment I’ve proposed, so I am withdrawing my proposal and/or am open to changes to make it acceptable IF people still think it is a viable topic. At this point, it sounds like it isn’t.

That said, I would like to address the underlying reason for suggesting it, which is my experiences with grossly out of covenant objects rezzed – such as the bumper cars on a floating platform, or a mega rock music stage on the Quay, or a large ferris wheel. All of these things have happened. They were all actions by the Chancellor…and so the real issue, in my mind, and as I have posted on the forums, is the limitations or lack thereof on the Chancellor and government officers.

The interpretation of some, to the Constitution, is the Chancellor can pretty much do anything they want. I read it that the Chancellor is limited in that they cannot go grossly outside covenant. It appears – from reading the archives –
[13:37] Bagheera Kristan: that the Chancellor may have had those powers at some point, but the present incarnation of the Constitution and Covenants – specifically the Constitution – seems to me to limit the Chancellor from making gross changes outside covenant, even on a temporary basis (since no time frame for the limitation is given, it just says, cannot change covenant to sim or ANY part).

To be clear, I do NOT care about historical accuracy. I am mostly thinking optimistically about how things will be when the sims are full up with citizens…and how things that appear okay to do now because no one is there to complain, would not be appropriate.la

I DO think Calli’s suggestion in the forums about using our public spaces – such as the amphitheater parcel, which is quite large, to have travelling fairs or such – and outside covenant, is a great idea.

I realize this may all be for the next RA to review and discuss.
[13:38] Bagheera Kristan: done
[13:38] Callipygian ChristensenCallipygian Christensen waves hand
[13:39] Tanoujin MilestoneTanoujin Milestone has read through and leans back
[13:40] Bagheera Kristan: please take this with the kindest of intentions too
[13:40] Shep: Calli
[13:41] Callipygian Christensen: a couple of things
[13:41] Callipygian Christensen: Thankyou – I interpret the wording ‘cannot change the *theme* to mean just that..Chancellor cannot declare Neif is going to be a middle eastern medieval port for example
[13:41] Lilith IvoryLilith Ivory nods
[13:41] Tanoujin MilestoneTanoujin Milestone listens
[13:41] Callipygian Christensen: as to temporary uses, I believe the Chancellor does have the right to allow things,
[13:42] Callipygian Christensen: That said, I was one of the people asking Treb to get Neuf parcels back into covenant..I am NOT anti_covenant..quite the opposite.
[13:43] Bagheera Kristan: raises hand
[13:43] Shep: Bags
[13:43] Callipygian Christensen: thus my suggestion of fairgrounds – it removes the perception/option of favouritism, of bad neighbours, of planned events being cancelled when complaints come in
[13:43] Shep: oop sorry Calli
[13:44] Callipygian Christensen: Follow history…put all those travelling merchants and riffraff out in the pastures where they belong! πŸ™‚ Done
[13:44] Shep: πŸ™‚
[13:44] Shep: Bags
[13:44] Tanoujin MilestoneTanoujin Milestone appplauds
[13:44] Bagheera Kristan: okay, well then maybe ONE component of my amendment would be worthwhile, which is the concept of notification beforehand, instead of logging in one morning thinking I’ll have peace and quiet and getting a view of death skulls on the quay instead – quite a surprise
[13:44] Bagheera Kristan: yes, I love your idea, Calli
[13:44] Shep: As do I Calli
[13:45] Tanoujin Milestone: me raises hand
[13:45] Callipygian Christensen: Trees make a lovely screen to block view of things like that *nod*
[13:46] Callipygian Christensen: But any major ‘fair’ would have notification …can build that in to the use outlines
[13:46] Bagheera Kristan: I was looking at the amphitheater site, currently the aqueduct is sort of out there, taking up space – I was thinking of rebuilding the aqueduct to act as a line of sight block (partial)
[13:47] Bagheera Kristan: that is another discussion, sorry – the notification seems a reasonable burden
[13:47] Lilith Ivory: I need to have a look at this space again but have problems to imagine how bumber cars could fit in there
[13:47] Bagheera Kristan: I measured, they do
[13:47] Tanoujin Milestone: hand?
[13:48] Tanoujin Milestone: I#d like to hear the Chancellor here on the notification aspect – does it rise a threshold? Is it doable? Who should do the notification?
[13:49] Tor Karlsvalt: Notification I agree was the problem with the fair proposed by Naf and Ria
[13:49] Shep: Well I was taken by surprise on that
[13:49] Tor Karlsvalt: It was a spontaneous effort and obviously lack of early communication of the intention to all caused a problem.
[13:50] Tanoujin Milestone: tsk, we should not choke all spontaneity
[13:50] Tanoujin Milestone: sorry, I have to insist
[13:50] Shep: No .. and they were grest fun
[13:50] Shep: shame they got taken away
[13:51] Callipygian Christensen: (I have to leave so throw this out with apologies for out of order- we have both a calendar, events forum, and inworld notices – not hard to post ‘A Request for use of the fairgrounds for a hippy beltane celebration on these dates’
[13:51] Tanoujin Milestone: a request? That would be enough?
[13:51] Tanoujin Milestone: public request?
[13:51] Callipygian Christensen: since the whole idea of fairgrounds is ‘away from most residences’ its really just an FYI at that point)
[13:52] Shep: Yes exactly
[13:52] Callipygian Christensen: Tan..the Chancellor posts that he/she received a request
[13:52] Tor Karlsvalt: I do think a fair ground is a good idea btw
[13:52] Shep: Yes so do I
[13:52] Lilith Ivory: I agree
[13:52] Callipygian Christensen: ok..off i go to the RL committee i chair..later all!
[13:52] Tanoujin Milestone: I have heard your time is almost up, thanks for that constructive contribution, Calli
[13:53] Bagheera Kristan: bye Calli
[13:53] Lilith Ivory: see you Calli πŸ™‚
[13:53] Shep: Byeee Calli πŸ™‚
[13:53] Tor Karlsvalt: I think tho the fair was not planned and the back lash was almost immediate.
[13:53] Tor Karlsvalt: ok Callie
[13:53] Tor Karlsvalt: see you
[13:53] Tor Karlsvalt: Tensions were raised quickly.
[13:54] Shep: I thought that went well
[13:54] Tor Karlsvalt: In some part I might ad by Cleo.
[13:54] Tor Karlsvalt: sure.
[13:54] Shep: Please .. no more of that name
[13:54] Tor Karlsvalt: haha
[13:54] Shep: this gets posted
[13:54] Tanoujin Milestone: my tinnitus πŸ™‚
[13:55] Shep whispers: LOL
[13:55] Shep: Ok
[13:55] Tor Karlsvalt: Hearing?
[13:55] Tanoujin Milestone: fine, could we outline a new procedure?
[13:55] Tor Karlsvalt: Struggles to find a latin dictionary.
[13:55] Tanoujin Milestone: so, how is it done to hold such an event?
[13:55] Shep: I propose we use the land around the amphitheatre as a fairground
[13:56] Bagheera Kristan: In my amendment, I had suggested 3 day advance notice – does that sound like a reasonable time frame – allows some spontaneity?
[13:56] Tor Karlsvalt: Well our most current precedent are Oktoberfest.
[13:56] Shep: RA sleeps
[13:57] Bagheera Kristan: I send your proposal, Shep
[13:57] Bagheera Kristan: sorry
[13:57] Bagheera Kristan: second
[13:57] Bagheera Kristan: second
[13:57] Shep: lol
[13:57] Bagheera Kristan: gargh
[13:57] Shep: thx and vote
[13:57] Bagheera Kristan: aye
[13:57] Shep: aye
[13:57] Tanoujin Milestone: wait a moment, this is a little quick
[13:57] Shep: Tan
[13:58] Tanoujin Milestone: darn, nay then – i need to sleep on it, sorry
[13:58] Shep: No itv is’nt
[13:58] Shep: OFFS
[13:58] Tanoujin Milestone: give me a minute, okay
[13:58] Shep: Not carried
[13:58] Bagheera Kristan: LOL
[13:58] Tanoujin Milestone: the suggestion is good.
[13:58] Shep: This is what CDS needs
[13:59] Bagheera Kristan: do we need a field trip?
[13:59] Tanoujin Milestone: sorry, i can not pick a parcel for a fair in 5 seconds
[13:59] Shep: We all sat here saying yes good idea
[13:59] Shep: ALL OF US
[13:59] Shep: So make it happen
[14:00] Tanoujin Milestone: i have not seen and measured that parcel i fgeel railroaded
[14:00] Bagheera Kristan: raises hand
[14:00] Tanoujin Milestone: i generally aagree on the idey
[14:00] Lilith Ivory: there might be other parcels that are as good or even better
[14:00] Tanoujin Milestone: but i need time to see the parcel
[14:01] Shep: Its position is ideal
[14:01] Shep: Bags
[14:01] Tanoujin Milestone: can we vote we will have that fair ground at cn? Bags, sorry
[14:01] Lilith Ivory: the ground besides the theatre is rather step
[14:01] Shep: No we can’t
[14:02] Shep: its too broad
[14:02] Bagheera Kristan: My thought is we could take a quick couple minutes to go take a look at it
[14:02] Shep: Then it can be leveled a little
[14:02] Bagheera Kristan: I understand it is hard to make a decision when you haven’t seen it, I actually went to look earlier
[14:02] Tanoujin Milestone: thank you bags – i want to say aye to a fairy ground at the CN *sim*
[14:03] Tanoujin Milestone: and decide on the exact parcel after that
[14:03] Lilith Ivory: didnΒ΄t the guild get the job to rebuild this place anyway?
[14:03] Tanoujin Milestone: is that okay?
[14:04] Shep: No you can’t do that .. it gives us permission to purloin a parcel
[14:04] Tanoujin Milestone: so you force me to say nay to a good idea
[14:04] Shep whispers: Where else is there common land on CN?
[14:04] Bagheera Kristan: I have a notecard which shows all the parcels in Colonia Nova – I can share it with all of you – the ownership isn’t up to date for everything but the parcel for the amphitheater is clear
[14:04] Tanoujin Milestone: that is exactly the point, shep
[14:04] Bagheera Kristan: it is the large section marked with an “n”
[14:05] Tanoujin Milestone: just because it is there is not reason enough
[14:05] Tanoujin Milestone: can we make it old business, please? I am so inclined to say yes to that!
[14:05] Shep: I am at a loss
[14:05] Tanoujin Milestone: it is just the question what parcel
[14:06] Tanoujin Milestone: aye to the overall idea
[14:06] Shep: It has to be common land
[14:06] Tanoujin Milestone: but – not yet sure which parcel
[14:06] Bagheera Kristan: Shep I have given you a notecard that isa parcel map for Colonia Nova – you may make it public
[14:06] Tanoujin Milestone: I move to table this until the next meeting – otherwise my vote is nay
[14:07] Tanoujin Milestone: I have people to represent, i want to talk with them
[14:07] Shep: ok its in the box
[14:08] Shep: Map of parcels on CN folks
[14:08] Bagheera Kristan: the amphitheater parcel is the upper right section marked as “n” with circles around them
[14:08] Tanoujin Milestone: I know where it is ‘sigh
[14:09] Tanoujin Milestone: you make it really hard to compromise
[14:09] Shep: Who me?
[14:09] Tanoujin Milestone: what is the issue with giving me time to think of a decision?
[14:09] Tanoujin Milestone: you both, yes
[14:09] Shep: None
[14:10] Shep: You sat there saying it was a good idea by Calli
[14:10] Tanoujin Milestone: please table it, let us have it old business and discuss which parcel exactly
[14:10] Shep: I liked it
[14:10] Shep: Tor Liked it
[14:10] Tanoujin Milestone: Shep: 1. the idea is good
[14:10] Tanoujin Milestone: 2. which parcel: not sure
[14:11] Shep: I’ll mark it old business
[14:11] Tanoujin Milestone: thank you very much
[14:11] Tanoujin Milestone: i will work on it
[14:11] Shep: Why not it’s how everything else works here
[14:11] Tanoujin Milestone: you get your decision next time
[14:12] Shep: Ok no copmmissions to report
[14:12] Shep: Tor do we have an exec report?
[14:12] Tor Karlsvalt: Well sure
[14:12] Tor Karlsvalt: short one
[14:12] Shep: Ok then you have the floor
[14:13] Tor Karlsvalt: We had a meeting for SL10B panning on April 28th
[14:13] Tor Karlsvalt: The meeting went well. I posted the transcripts to the forum
[14:13] Tor Karlsvalt: Lil will build build some sort of a Rathaus and anti will build a meeting garden
[14:14] Tor Karlsvalt: WE will be asking the community for artifacts, pics and notecards to describe our community
[14:14] Tor Karlsvalt: The SL10B will open on June 16th.
[14:15] Tor Karlsvalt: Jamie has purchsed the two prim parcels in AM.
[14:15] Tor Karlsvalt: So that is good and actually AM is very well sold right now.
[14:15] Tor Karlsvalt: I have also seen some movement in CN.
[14:16] Tor Karlsvalt: We did have an unfortunate affair with two new citzens who did not want to pay monthly tier.
[14:16] Tor Karlsvalt: One turned out to be a griefer and was banned.
[14:17] Tor Karlsvalt: The has purchased parcels in Monastery and were not building in accordance with the covenants.
[14:17] Tanoujin Milestone: πŸ™‚
[14:17] Tor Karlsvalt: Then one got very angry when I asked him to pay tier.
[14:18] Tor Karlsvalt: Other than that, we where fairly stable in the the last month.
[14:18] Tor Karlsvalt: done.
[14:18] Pip TorokPip Torok remembers he was looking for an excuse to grief …
[14:18] Shep: Thanks Tor
[14:18] Shep: Pip?
[14:19] Pip Torok: sorry … etraneous comment … pls desregard
[14:19] Tor Karlsvalt: Raises hand
[14:19] Shep: Tor
[14:19] Tor Karlsvalt: Oh I just wanted to add that Ranma has started a CDS based RFL group.
[14:20] Tor Karlsvalt: I hope we can all support her in this effort.
[14:20] Shep: Ok
[14:20] Tor Karlsvalt: Thanks, done
[14:20] Tanoujin Milestone: Can you invite me to that group, Tor?
[14:20] Tor Karlsvalt: I will, I think i need to look for my invite.
