Chesapeake Player Community-linked Teleporters and Banners Meeting Results

[Tancred RedStar]

Last night's meeting to discuss the concept of player community-linked gates/teleporters and banners was huge! The dev team member Mesanna as well as EM's Vladimere and Dudley hosted the meeting and it was well attended by Chesapeake players. The blaze tent at the Luna Fairgrounds was literally packed to the rafters.

I have included the complete chat log for all to read on another site as there is a 40k character limit here and the post is over 100k characters, even with extensive editting. The meeting lasted roughly 4 hours and the chatlog was over 500k in raw format.

To summarize:

• This was more a suggestion and comment meeting.
  
• The discussion was driven by "it's your shard, what do you want? We'll try to make it happen."
  
• Player communities should email either of the EM's to request a town banner. The EM's will then try to arrange a time to visit the town for a tour
  
• Communities that seem cohesive and active can have a town teleporter added.
  
• The specific rules and appearance of the teleporter have not been nailed down, but the basic gist is it won't be used in an exploitive manner or merely as a facade for activities non-conducive to the community(not to say that it can't involve dark RP, just not outright griefing or harassment).
  
• Teleporters that are used in a negative manner can be removed.
  
• This is a dedicated effort by Mesanna with, of course, EM support.
  
• In-game elements such as petitioning Queen Dawn will likely be employed to enrich and add flavor.
  
• It is possible(though not yet confirmed) that communities may be called upon to devote effort to constructing or otherwise achieving a town teleporter.
  
• There are NO strict requirements for what constitutes a "town" but it should be of player interest and things such as a local tavern, stocked vendors, rune library, player-run events and activities, etc. will come across as more conducive to the player community at large. Additionally, having structures(houses) share a common housesign or display a common banner help enhance the appearance of a common effort and community spirit.

The complete chat log is a good read if you want to get a better of idea of some of the things people suggested, how they were received, what kinds of concerns were raised and a general idea of the wide spectrum of players that were interested and came to this meeting.

Lastly, a big thank you to Mesanna, EM Vlad and Dudley for presenting us Chesapeake players an exciting opportunity and hearing us out over the span of hours and hours. Also, a special thanks to Gareth for helping get the ball rolling on this.

 

[Lord Gareth]

Thanks Red!

You see: Gizmo [SHE]
You see: Calamity
Mesanna: This is a meetijng for ideas, nothing will be ignored
Mesanna: but
Mesanna: please do not start calling names etc ok?
Mesanna: we are all here to do something good for the shard
Mesanna: ok first you guys have anything to address, Dudley Vlad?
EM Dudley: *shakes head*
EM Dudley: All yours
Mesanna: Ok let me put on the table what I am willing to do
Mesanna: Guild towns, player towns etc
Mesanna: can all have a banner placed
Mesanna: did everyone see the banner outside?
Mesanna: ok you really need to know what it looks like
Tancred RedStar: fire drill!

*Many people run outside after Mesanna*

Gareth: Mesanna is giving rules outside

*Remaining people run outside after Mesanna to view the prototype banner*



Mesanna: we copy your town banners
Mesanna: and place there here in the fair grounds
[Alliance][John Duke]: She says she has a problem with town teleporters
Mesanna: under your banner will be a teleporter to the matching banner in your town
[Alliance][John Duke]: But they will copy the town banners and place them here
[Alliance][John Duke]: The banners would have a teleporter which goes to your town
Mesanna: I will think about that one
Visago: will there be one town banner in the center of town?
Mesanna: I can see it being used as escapes if the town is in fe;l
Mesanna: and I really don't think that is fair
Mesanna: Ack Fel!
Tancred RedStar: what if it's no aggro only
Sari-Liane: Wouldnt the timer kick in if you tried to flee?
John Duke: the aggro rules can't work on teleporters?
Mesanna: timers do not work on my teleporters =)
Mesanna: they are not linked to the moongate system
Sari-Liane: Well I have a suggestion then
Sari-Liane: if I may?
Mesanna: of course
Sari-Liane: What if there was a single rune locked down at the foot of the banner?
Sari-Liane: That way it directly links back to here
Sari-Liane: But the aggro timer is still in effect
Sari-Liane: Would that work ok?
Mesanna: As I said I will think about putting teleporters under each banner
Mesanna: but let me think about all the ways to exploint that first =)
Mesanna: exploit too
Mesanna: shall we go back inside
*Everyone runs back inside the blaze tent*
Mesanna: so we can organize this better
Mesanna: ok so lets make sure everyone gets a voice
Mesanna: I would like for one person at a time to step down
EM Vladimere: but not all at the same time
Mesanna: that way we can all have a voice
Mesanna: Vlad your killing me with your text
Grimlar Mithrax: *raises his hand*
Mesanna: Come down Grimlar
Grimlar Mithrax: anyone in front of me?
Mesanna: Your the first
Grimlar Mithrax: i just want to say what a great job is being done

Mesanna: I have developed an issue due to surgery that has caused me to have lost vision in one eye

Mesanna: so I might be a little slow with some text
Winfield: oh no
Tancred RedStar:

Squee the savage: HA-OOH! HA-OOH! HA-OOH!
Grimlar Mithrax: Huzzah!
Mesanna: ok guys who is next?
EM Vladimere: A secret well kept by the EM staff till now
Winfield: *raises hand*
Gareth: Winfield had a question.
EM Dudley: Winfield I think
EM Dudley: Saw his hand first
Mesanna: Winfield please
Winfield: As for central hubs for the teleporters,
Winfield: there could be a lot of good involvement in Felucca too,
Mesanna: I hope so
Winfield: as you examine the diffulties of combat and escape.
EM Vladimere: Everytime we try to do an event in Fell it turns into a PvP bloodbath
Winfield: I recommend a gump to select which central hub you want to go to,
Winfield: when stepping on a town teleporter.
Mesanna: I will do this
Winfield: To the Felucca hub, or the Trammel-based hub.
Winfield: Thus our citizens who are red can participate.
Mesanna: to keep people from stepping to a town not knowing where they are
Winfield: Thank you.
Mesanna: I will add the facet the town is in
Mesanna: to the banner
Mesanna: I think that might help
Winfield: And have two hubs for the teleporters, one in Felucca, and one in Trammel perhaps?
EM Vladimere: AAAH! It feels like someone kicked me in the teeth!
Mesanna: I guess I am not understainding you, if the town is in Fel why would there be a hub in TraM?
Winfield: I have a town in Fel.
[Alliance][Tancred RedStar]: sounds like it will be like a teleporter, not a moongate with a menu
Winfield: And would like to hub it to Fel and Trammel.
Mesanna: The teleporter tiles will be here
EM Vladimere: MAKE IT STOP!
Winfield: Most of our citizens are in Trammel, but our statehood city is in Felucca.
Mesanna: going to each town
Mesanna: Do you have towns in both tram and fel?
Winfield: I do.
Mesanna: I do not see a problem then
Winfield: We have three towns and several outposts.
Mesanna: would both of your towns be named the same?
Winfield: 2 towns in Fel, and one in Tokuno
Mesanna: Are the towns named different?
Winfield: We are PaxLair Statehood, consisting of PaxLair City Fel, Dragons Watch Fel, and PaxOku Tokuno
Daria Blackmoore: She means one hub here to all cities i think
Mesanna: Then you would have 3 banners
Winfield: So we have three cities to connect and contribute across several facets.
Mesanna: One for each
Winfield: *nods*
Mesanna: each one denoting the name
Winfield: Each will just teleport back here to Luna? the central hub?
Mesanna: yes sir
Winfield: If this is the hub.
EM Vladimere: You just can't find a good Britannian dentist these days...
You see: EM Vladimere
Winfield: So there won't be a hub on Felucca you think?
Winfield: to get to all cities? So murderers can go around Felucca towns?
Mesanna: I see your point now
Winfield: Just something to consider, two hubs to connect all towns.
Mesanna: for the Fel towns we can have a hub there to link the Fel cities
Mesanna: and one here
Mesanna: Is that acceptable to you?
Winfield: Here linking to all cities, wether in fel or trammel I think is essential.
EM Vladimere: All the other shards are gonna be jealous that chessy has this and they dont
Winfield: As for a Felucca hub, not really sure yet, other than how to help murderers too.
Winfield: I will think on this more too. The trammel hub is most important first I think.
Winfield: Thank you.
Mesanna: Let me just say I will work with you guys to make sure they are not left out
Mesanna: an we will work out a way to link all fel cities
Winfield: My evil Winfield twin appreciates it!
Winfield: Well, I don't really have a twin.
Mesanna: who is next guys
EM Dudley: I saw Teqilla earlier
EM Dudley: We'll get to everyone in time
EM Dudley: Tequilla come on down
Mesanna: please step down
Mesanna: Hi Te

TeQuIlLa-: we have a ton of reds on chessy
TeQuIlLa-: and i think that we should have more

Mesanna: that brings up a good point
TeQuIlLa-: gettin out there havin huge wars
EM Vladimere: but if i go around killing everyone i cant come to luna
Mesanna: I personally love to kill players
TeQuIlLa-: lol
Mesanna: I mean have a good fight

Gareth: Aye.
Vek the Savage: ((yeah!))
Grimlar Mithrax: Arrr!
Mesanna: Lets put it this way

Mesanna: anything within reason
Gareth: *nods*
Gareth: One last thing.
Mesanna: Please don't ask me to dye a color that will make my eyes bleed though
Gareth: How will you decide what communities get one?
Vek the Savage: Vek want eye blood banner
Mesanna: That is why we are here tonight
Winfield: Good question Gareth, lot's of people wondering.
EM Dudley: *is keeping a running list of those with questions*
Mesanna: I will not, WE ARE
Mesanna: I want your feedback
Mesanna: You have good ideas, its your shard
Gareth: *nods*
Mesanna: I am here to help organize and tell you what is possible
Gareth: Okay.
Mesanna: I will say this
Mesanna: If we put a banner in your town and any player is just griefed there
Mesanna: you will lose your banner
Gareth: Good rule.
Mesanna: everyone here has my email address
Winfield: *hopes our Felucca towns are not griefed by non-citizens*
Mesanna: you also have your EM address
Mesanna: use it
EM Dudley: Tancred is next

Gareth: Aye
Gareth: I am not good with big groups.
Gareth: *smiles* im silent

CoolHandLuke: .
Tancred RedStar: there?
Elijah Cross: same
Masta Blasta: i think hes colorblind
Grimlar Mithrax: accept it
EM Dudley: Make sure you hit Apply Tancred
Tancred RedStar: you know, I'm color blind too
*Drama of 10 year vet/noob Tancred who can't change his speech color on the fly removed, oy!
*
Tancred RedStar: how long we looking at til implementation, a week? 3 months?
Mesanna: as soon as we come up with the rules I am looking at starting to put down banners in towns
Mesanna: After we get the banners in towns we will start the hub teleporters to the towns
Tancred RedStar: would it be possible to make this an event for each player community, amass materials together?
Tancred RedStar: rather than just *boom* banner/portal appears
Visago: good idea, like a community project
Mesanna: I like that idea, Dudley/Vlad?
Mesanna: Thank you can work with everyone for this
EM Dudley: Sounds great to me
EM Vladimere: Agreed
Mesanna: Sweet
Tancred RedStar: one of my favorite memories was helping build defenses of Moonglow
EM Dudley: I'd have to clear it with the Queen though...
EM Dudley: *winks*
Grimlar Mithrax: *cheers!!!*
Tancred RedStar: hides, wood, etc
EM Vladimere: Wait before we go any further thou
EM Vladimere: we need to come to a number of houses needed to make the town
EM Vladimere: and how long it has been in operation
EM Vladimere: thats to stop someone from buying two or three accounts
EM Vladimere: saying its a town
EM Vladimere: and getting a gate
Mesanna: one sec guys
EM Vladimere: Also all the houses in that town need their house sign to be the same
Mesanna: Reporter?
Reporter: Yes.
Reporter: I have thought this over several times
EM Vladimere: thats so we know
Reporter: And have come to a suggestion for classification as well as denotation of player towns.
EM Vladimere: thats so we know and the players know
EM Vladimere: its discussion
EM Vladimere: ideas thrown out
EM Vladimere: not in stone
EM Vladimere: i am sorry if it came that way, i was not trying to make it sound like i was telling
EM Vladimere: just tossing out things for discussion
Mesanna: ok Reporter go ahead
EM Vladimere: brb, door bell
Reporter: Very well.
Reporter: I would like to propose a simple classification system
Reporter: That is dependent upon number of homes
Reporter: as well as another categorization possibility
EM Vladimere: those was sugguestions not rules
Reporter: The first is that the number depends on the name
Reporter: A village or Hamlet might have 5-10 homes
Reporter: A town might have 10-20
Reporter: A city would have 20-30
Reporter: and a kingdom or empire 30-50, with possibilities ranging higher
Reporter: if they exist
Reporter: I would not think that is necessary
Reporter: However
Reporter: A mere set of houses is not enough
Reporter: you must also make it a town, village, or hamlet
Reporter: Or city
EM Dudley: *has everyone in the que*
Reporter: for those whom have a village, one would expect there to be at least a basic stop for travellers
Reporter: To get drinks, food, and rest their legs
Reporter: A town would expand upon this
Reporter: A town should have some center for commerce
Reporter: Perhaps a market square, or an auction house
Reporter: A city would have more of what you expect in a true brittanian city
Reporter: The ability to enjoy entertainment...
Reporter: Nay, these are things the players should work on, not the EM's/Devs
Reporter: A playhouse, or perhaps a stage, or a library
Reporter: A museum
Reporter: An archive
Reporter: There should be at least one building
Reporter: that has administrative offices
Reporter: all cities have to be run at some level
Reporter: Without this, can it be a city?
Reporter: Finally, the kingdom/empire should be very difficult to achieve
Reporter: It should be necessary to have a jail to incarcerate those who break the laws
Reporter: Guard towers
EM Vladimere: we are not gonna set rules to what your city does, thats up to the players and their towns
Reporter: A courthouse
Reporter: That is why i am giving many examples
Reporter: administrative for the savages would be the chiefs hut
EM Vladimere: its your not ours
Reporter: A kingdom or empire should have resources that are useful
Reporter: like a rune library, or a historic building
Reporter: This should be used if you want in game recognition by the Crown...
Reporter: If you merely throw a random assortment of homes together
EM Vladimere: we was here to discuss linking them
EM Vladimere: not governing them
Reporter: How can it be said you should be recognize more than any random patch of malas?
Reporter: This is the problem facing us.
Reporter: I agree with EM Vlad
Reporter: The houses should be identifiable in some way
EM Vladimere: i am done before mesanna stabs me
Reporter: Either the same house sign
Reporter: Or perhaps the town name after the house name
Reporter: Or a veteran reward banner
Reporter: or some other landmark that makes them easily known as belonging to that town
EM Vladimere: hold for a sec
Reporter: I disagree with the fact of 'longevity' being a factor
EM Vladimere: let me see where mesanna got too
Reporter: Because then you have a large argument to decide about what is long enough
Reporter: I am offering a suggestion.
Reporter: My suggestion is that the banners have little requirement
Mesanna: ok thank you Reporter
Reporter: other than activity
Reporter: And proof of township
Reporter: The others are advanced ideas for true recognition.
Reporter: I apologize for my longwindedness, and thank you for your patience.
Mesanna: thank you
EM Dudley: Nyx is up next
Nyx: ..
EM Dudley: Daria is on deck
Nyx: Hello Mesanna
Mesanna: Hi Nyx
Nyx: Recently our guild decided to ask what makes a town a town
Nyx: Since then our guild and others in the area like whitesnake
Nyx: have aquired homes near Handes Hostel
Nyx: which means
Nyx: we have we working inn and stables
Nyx: procided by the designers
Nyx: we also have a post office
Nyx: town hall
Nyx: bar
Nyx: nightclub
Nyx: auction house
Nyx: library
Nyx: the question is what else is there
Nyx: age?
Nyx: events
Mesanna: I ask myself this
Mesanna: What are we really wanting to do this for, what is the reason for this
Nyx: Right
Mesanna: I hope the answer is to bring the shard together
Mesanna: to give players a simple way to find better vendors
Nyx: Will there be certain days for events for player towns
Mesanna: to give them a way to meet other players
Mesanna: to bring us together
Nyx: instead of everyone stepping on everyone elses toes
Nyx: Like sat nights are she auctions
Mesanna: wait I have more suggestions here
Nyx: it would be intrusive to hold an event on there night
EM Vladimere: I have a question for everyone
Mesanna: I would like to suggestion a reward system for our towns
Mesanna: We can help the players organize their events
Nyx: not great for 2nd and 3rd shift persons
Masta Blasta: ok weedends in the afternoon
Mesanna: we can put down a table
Nyx: What type of rewards
Nyx: town items
Nyx: or useful things
Nyx: like a banker
Mesanna: I was thinking for the towns that do the most for the community
Mesanna: such as help others, organize events etc
Mesanna: we can add little things to their towns
Mesanna: I won't bless a house
Mesanna: but I would give a fountain
Mesanna: maybe a stable
Mesanna: or a bank
Nyx: very nice
Prowler: what about plaques handed to people that help events
Prowler: is a good recognition
Yoshi: so playing favorites??
Mesanna: this are only suggestions guys off the top of my head
Mesanna: no I am not
Mesanna: here is the kicker
Mesanna: you guys tell me what towns are doing the most for the shard
Mesanna: I nor the EM's would do that
Luna Rossa: what if you are a person that likes to hold things for the shard?
Mesanna: its all on your shoulders
Mesanna: define hold things>
Mesanna: ?
Tancred RedStar: there needs to be some oversight so the "system" isn't gamed
Luna Rossa: well for example
Luna Rossa: before I arrived here
Luna Rossa: I asked an EM on another shard
Luna Rossa: if they could help me
Luna Rossa: as I wanted to set up a maze
Luna Rossa: for the harvest festival
Luna Rossa: they said it could not be done
Luna Rossa: so it can?
Luna Rossa: or I have held shard tours
Mesanna: Guys none of the EM's are going to show favoritism but...
Mesanna: they will help with your events but not by spawning things
Luna Rossa: ah ok
Zelda of Zed: ours do
Luna Rossa: thank you sorry to interject
Mesanna: they can lock things down but they will delete it afterwards
Luna Rossa: aye
Luna Rossa: that was what I was after

EM Vladimere: Masta
EM Vladimere: sry
EM Dudley: Masta is on deck
Mesanna: Masta hello
Masta Blasta: me or daria?
Daria Blackmoore: Like to say it awesome to see two new towns emerge as these discussions have begun
Daria Blackmoore: I hope in some way
Daria Blackmoore: we can extend this to well known single establishments
Ashlynn: would fulfill that one?
Daria Blackmoore: such as the fine folks of the SHE auction
Daria Blackmoore: who do as much for the comm as any of us
Daria Blackmoore: being a stable in the comm
Daria Blackmoore: also
Daria Blackmoore: I cant say we should put a number on the houses to make a town
Daria Blackmoore: a town
Daria Blackmoore: some are very small
Nyx: Mesanna what is your email please.
Daria Blackmoore: and desrve fair treatment
Daria Blackmoore: and recongnition
Daria Blackmoore: I love the idea of having to work a bit for these blessings
Daria Blackmoore: I think a simple visit to each comm
Daria Blackmoore: to see for yourselves
Daria Blackmoore: will help greatly
Daria Blackmoore: in sizing up the task ahead
Mesanna: Personal feeling is its not the amount of houses that matters
Daria Blackmoore: *nods*
Daria Blackmoore: that is all i think
Daria Blackmoore: :}
Reporter: I must personally say that I disagree with blessings being given based on player reccomendation;
Mesanna: I will not say you can not be recognized just because your in one house
Reporter: This seems like an easy way to set it up as popularity contest.
Daria Blackmoore: Aye it could eaily go either way Rep
Daria Blackmoore: We dont want that
EM Vladimere: no matter what happens some will be happy and some will be mad
Daria Blackmoore: Thank you
EM Dudley: Masta is up
Masta Blasta: ok i have a few questions
Mesanna: go ahead Masta
Masta Blasta: first is about player towns
Masta Blasta: myself and a few others own houses along the road at britain crossroads in felucca
Masta Blasta: we have about 8 or 9 houses along the road, would it be possible to make that a player town?
Mesanna: why wouldn't it?
Sari-Liane: Are they public and for the benefit of all players?
Masta Blasta: i dunno just asking, how would it get started?
Masta Blasta: like would one of the ems have to set it up or something
Masta Blasta: or does everyone need to agree that it should be a player town
Mesanna: I will be setting up all banners etc
Masta Blasta: ok
Mesanna: I would be adding your town names to them
Masta Blasta: another question is
EM Dudley: *has Lza and Ozog in the que"*
Masta Blasta: is you own a house in part of a player town, are you forced to be part of that town?
Ozog Giantfart: *grins*
Daria Blackmoore: Wouldnt think so
EM Vladimere: no
EM Vladimere: can i be the tax man
EM Dudley: *has Gunga, adds Vis*
Reporter: To interject, is your concern masta about the supposed downside of the towns?
Mesanna: Not here to force anyone to do anything
Mesanna: but
Mesanna: would be nice if all the houses had the same banners in their houses that is being displayed
Mesanna: as the town banner
Masta Blasta: ok and finally, i would suggest events to be monday thru thursday evening and weekend afternoons
Masta Blasta:
Masta Blasta: thank you
Mesanna: thank you Masta
Mesanna: Next?
EM Dudley: Luna was next
Luna Rossa: thank you
Mesanna: Luna?

Mesanna: That will be your choice and we will merge the banners at that time
Gunga Din: aye

Gunga Din: i will have to consider
Gunga Din: which choice is more helpful to the shard

Zelda of Zed: but was not sure how to change it
Zelda of Zed: so i am very happy to see that you having given up your time
Zelda of Zed: to be with us tonight
Zelda of Zed: my big issue was the way that Cheesy was being ignored
Zelda of Zed: we all looked at what the other shards got
Zelda of Zed: and felt like we were left out
Zelda of Zed: when we felt we needed to say something
Zelda of Zed: and i will admit
Zelda of Zed: sometimes i didn not have the tact i should have
Zelda of Zed: and for that i am sorry to any one I hurt or offeend
Zelda of Zed: i have myself given alot to the community and felt we were left out
Zelda of Zed: and that lead to some of my rudeness
Zelda of Zed: so........
Zelda of Zed: with that said
Zelda of Zed: i hope in the future we will be able to talk to the ems and deal with isssues
Zelda of Zed: without scarsim.. from them...
Tancred RedStar: I do not agree
Zelda of Zed: or others.. when someone feels. they are getting the short end of the stick
Vek the Savage: Vek like ems
Zelda of Zed: so with that said... i very much hope that what you are doing will work
Zelda of Zed: and that there is better chatter between all of us
Mesanna: Thank you Zelda
Zelda of Zed: and not just name calling or bs... it is great what you are doing with the city run towns...

Lazarus: that is a few screens off
Lazarus: is there going to be a limit?
Mesanna: You would have to come up with a location for your banner
Lazarus: ok we have an Idea of were it will be
Phoenix: Dudley am I in q?
Lazarus: Now secondly
Lazarus: as for town events
Lazarus: I don't know the limit to your powers as GM but we hold an ester egg hunt every easter
Lazarus: Now to kill rabits got the colored eggs is a pain for the guild so to hold it
Mesanna: Ok First
CharGar: shes a dev not a gm.

Mesanna: I am NOT a GM hun
CharGar: ROFL
EM Dudley: *snickers*
CharGar: hehe

Lazarus: ?
Tancred RedStar: lol
Mesanna: You mean an easter egg hunt like we had this year?

Vek the Savage: HA OOH!
Vek the Savage: HA OOH!
Gareth: Or convert paintbrushes to paint eggs heh Make a use for em.
Lazarus: aand lastly ....as to conecting the towns...
Mesanna: true
Lazarus: my suggestion is to put a guild town facet on the moon gates
Lazarus: like ter mer was added add a slot for guild towns
Lazarus: that are conected to the banners
Lazarus: that way the guild towns are connected to all the towns
Lazarus: thank you for your time
EM Dudley: Sari is up next
Mesanna: thank you Lazarus
Mesanna: Hello Sari
EM Dudley: Sari-Lane?
EM Dudley: Sari-Liane
Sari-Liane: Ohh sorry was half asleep lol
Sari-Liane: Its nearly 4am here
Mesanna: wow
Darth Oni: by me 5 am!
Sari-Liane: Hehe Just moved from Europa
Sari-Liane: Ok.. here's what i've been wondering
Sari-Liane: What constitutes as a player town?
Sari-Liane: Alot has been spoken about this and that with groups of houses
Daria Blackmoore: ice cream truck ran by
Sari-Liane: But there has been no real... confirmation about what the basics are
Mesanna: No there hasn't
Sari-Liane: IE.. Houses being public, of benefit to those around, crafters + townspeople being avaliable
Sari-Liane: to well.. do what they do like at brit smithy years ago
EM Vladimere: Vendors being stocked
Sari-Liane: A good feel of community
Sari-Liane: LOL exactly
Sari-Liane: Too often I run around places and 'town's that are empty of anyone
Sari-Liane: and this is during prime time
Sari-Liane: That is not a town... its houses clumped together
Mesanna: I would say first off you have to be an active player
Sari-Liane: If any player run area is to gain regonition
Sari-Liane: then it must be worthwhile them having it
Sari-Liane: *nods*
Gunga Din: too many people hangout at the bank
EM Vladimere: Bank = Safe Haven
Sari-Liane: Exactly
Mesanna: Banks are easy to find players at
Sari-Liane: for instance in the village i've just moved into
Sari-Liane: I'm often running around as is others
Sari-Liane: and if anyone comes though being chased by a tuski wolf (sp??) was chasing them
Sari-Liane: we'ld go out and help him
Niva the Savage: Hard numbers bad!
Sari-Liane: At the end of the day...
Sari-Liane: It has to be about community
Sari-Liane: one house
Sari-Liane: or 100
Sari-Liane: dosnt matter
Mesanna: I agree
Sari-Liane: Its community
Daria Blackmoore: *claps*
Vek the Savage: HA OOH!
Gareth: *Claps*
Vek the Savage: HA OOH!
Sinhi: HA-OOH! HA-OOH! HA-OOH!
Gunga Din: agree
Sinthe: HA-OOH! HA-OOH! HA-OOH!
Sari-Liane: *grins*
Sari-Liane: I'll shut me trap now
Mesanna: You have good points
Mesanna: thank you
Sinhi: HA-OOH! HA-OOH! HA-OOH!
Luna Rossa: *applauds*
Niva the Savage: HA-OOH! HA-OOH! HA-OOH!
Sari-Liane: *Bows*
Sari-Liane: thank you for your time Mesanna *grins*
EM Dudley: Exavior is up, Char on deck, Sinhi in the hold
EM Dudley: err Hole even
Mesanna: Good night Dartari
Phoenix: Did you get me Dudley?
EM Dudley: *nods*
Mesanna: Hello Exavior
Gunga Din: In the past, many of the best community areas were single establishments
Winfield: Get me too Dudley?
Exavior: alot of my questions have been answered
EM Dudley: *ndos*
EM Dudley: *nods*
Exavior: but my consern is for the newbees
Exavior: is there a safe gaurd spot that can be put in town neer banner
Mesanna: as in how do we include new players?
Exavior: or a rez spot
Mesanna: ahh how do we protec them
Sari-Liane: Use the community!!
Angelica: with player run guards
CharGar: we dont
EM Vladimere: Newbs not allowed in Fell
Exavior: if we the vets are not there
CharGar: newbies die
Gareth: player run guards?
Exavior: to help
CharGar: rofl
Celestial Knight: yea red's in fel made sure young player's can't go to fel
Elijah Cross: Live and learn as in the days of old?
CharGar: exactly
Masta Blasta: amen !
Mesanna: well lets evaluate the towns seperately
Mesanna: I really don't have an answer right now
Exavior: ok
Exavior: and
Exavior: the grieving in town i understand
Nyx: maybe something like faction guards that the towns could purchase for x amount of gold a week
Exavior: but what if others come to your town and grieve you
Exavior: maybe have some whay that a town can work for rewards to better the town?
Mesanna: well I know what I would love to say =)
Arin: say it
Gareth: death to em all? heh
Mesanna: but I will just say this, no matter what we are always going to have players
Exavior: that would be a way for a community to work together to benifit others
Mesanna: some players live to grief
Prowler: dont flap yap and u dont get ur fel house camped
Masta Blasta: griefers help make the game, dont hate them
EM Vladimere: so do PK
Mesanna: guards would require publishes
Exavior: ok i am done thank you for your time
EM Dudley: Char
Mesanna: we do have some restrictions as to what we can do without coding and publishes
EM Vladimere: be nice Char
CharGar: i will try
CharGar:
Mesanna: Hello Char
CharGar: ty for ur time
CharGar: i will try to be brief
CharGar: ever since the discussion of player towns has started
CharGar: i betcha at least 10 new player run towns have started up
CharGar: within the last month
CharGar: we need to establish
CharGar: guidelines
CharGar: so that player towns are not coming and going
Tancred RedStar: hear hear
CharGar: i dont have one
CharGar: but from what i hear tonite
CharGar: my few houses on horseshoe island
Celestial Knight: player's come and go..lost u'r job there u go
CharGar: could be a player town
Phoenix: *nods*
CharGar: and get a banner and teleporter
CharGar: we need to avoid this
CharGar: to not cause problems in the future
CharGar: this is my opinion
CharGar: of course
CharGar: but throwing it out htere
CharGar: we had a handful of towns
CharGar: uptill the last month
CharGar: now we have 100
CharGar: exagerated of course
Phoenix: *chuckles*
Mesanna: of course
CharGar: eheh
CharGar: but htats what has been happening
CharGar: and would just like to see some strong guidelines
Mesanna: ok so what about something like this
CharGar: as to how it hgets implemented
Phoenix: *claps*
Tancred RedStar: *claps*
Ozog Giantfart: *claps*
Mesanna: banners are a dime a dozen
Allistair: *claps*

Visago: my first question, how would you like the community to communicate what it decides a player town
Visago: is
Visago: is
Visago: is
Visago: woops
Visago: hit the speach limit
Mesanna: well you can do one of several things
Mesanna: you can pick a speaker
Mesanna: and I can return to hear your choices
Mesanna: or you can email me
Visago: do you have a time line for this? I'd hate us to miss the boat
Mesanna: or you can tell your EM's and they can rely they information
Mesanna: no I will not put a time line on this
Mesanna: you will not miss the boat
Visago: excellent
Mesanna: I will make time to do this
Daria Blackmoore: *claps*
Tancred RedStar: *claps*
Sinhi: HA-OOH! HA-OOH! HA-OOH!
Se'an Silverfoot: Thank you!
Darth Oni: *cheers*
Niva the Savage: HA-OOH! HA-OOH! HA-OOH!
Visago: another question is, how will towns be removed from the system if they should fail
Se'an Silverfoot: **claps**
Mesanna: Tancred you changed your text!
Tancred RedStar: just for you
Tancred RedStar: lol
Mesanna: Congrats
Mesanna: thank you!
Mesanna: you rock
Gunga Din: i think we are all missing the pt
EM Vladimere: we need to get them started before we worry about removeing them
Mesanna: what do you mean Gunga
Visago: true, but its easier to have a framework then to work it in later
Gunga Din: i'm running my tavern not for a teleporter
Gunga Din: we are not trying for teleporters
Gunga Din: i think, blessings or towns and single establisments
EM Dudley: May I speak for a moment?
Gunga Din: would be more helpful
Gunga Din: if you are here for a teleporter
Gunga Din: you are missing
Gunga Din: the point of the community
EM Dudley: *looks to Visago*
Tancred RedStar: true dat
EM Vladimere: remember this is a 1st time ever happening, we need to take one step at a time
EM Dudley: You have the floor sir, may I interject?
Gunga Din: aye
Visago: sure, if your asking me
EM Dudley: Thankee
EM Dudley: There's been a lot of discussion about what a town is, or how we shall define them
EM Dudley: How we will know which towns are which
EM Dudley: Who will get the teleporters and so on and so forth
EM Dudley: And one of the resounding answers to that question
EM Dudley: Is that this is your shard
EM Dudley: And we wish for YOU to decide that based on the decsions made by those involved
EM Dudley: I would be more than anxious to develop a scenario in which the Crown recognizes these towns
EM Dudley: Developso a registry
EM Dudley: After all, this is a Roleplaying game
Tancred RedStar: do it!
Se'an Silverfoot: **claps**
Niva the Savage: Even orcs know cities!
EM Dudley: And while we are discussing out of character mechanics this evening
Allistair: Here here!
Niva the Savage: Paxlair!
EM Dudley: I am very much for handling this IN character
Tancred RedStar: erm, we're not *all* RP'ers tho
Niva the Savage: GG!
Masta Blasta: we dont take kindly to role players !
Niva the Savage: Silverdale!
EM Dudley: That is true Tancred
Darth Oni: no
Tancred RedStar: I'm kind of RP-lite
Darth Oni: silvervale
Niva the Savage: Glyenfield!
EM Dudley: Not everyone is a Roleplayer to the direct meaning of the word
Masta Blasta: lol
Niva the Savage: Village
EM Dudley: However, every one fulfills some role in the community
Allistair: but a community is a bunch of roles that play together
EM Dudley: And that is what we are trying to support and promote
Se'an Silverfoot: **claps**
Niva the Savage: Dragon's Watch!
Tancred RedStar: we gonna nominate a village idiot then?
Tancred RedStar: hehe
Gareth: Ill be it!
EM Dudley: *chuckles*
Lobonyx: *wry smile*
EM Vladimere: where did the troll get too
Yoshi: Still missing the point of this
EM Vladimere: lol
Gareth: Winfield is alive again
EM Dudley: All I wanted to add
EM Dudley: Carry on Visago
Visago: In regards to my question, I meant it in the sense of mechanics,
Visago: as you mentioned Dudley
Visago: we have had towns fail on the shard before
Visago: I wouldn't want gates or what not scattered through out the land
Visago: or people fighting over them as idocs
Visago: our critieas will dictate
Visago: if a town stands or falls
Visago: of course
Gunga Din: great pt
Visago: however, in regards to what makes a town a town
Visago: I would suggest that focus be given to the events
Visago: they are what bring people together
Visago: not buildings
Gunga Din: well said
Visago: I own 4 buildings in one spot, and nobody visits me
Visago: thank you for your time EM's, Mesanna
Gareth: Events held in the town or can they be outside of the town Vis?
Daria Blackmoore: *claps*
Visago: I believe events can be held anywhere
Phoenix: *claps*
Visago: if they are in the name of the town/group
Visago: what does it matter
Gareth: *nods*
Visago: towns give focus
Lobonyx: *clap*
Visago: events give life
Visago: and community
Gareth: unless you die at the event
Tancred RedStar: well said
NANOC: *claps*
Darth Oni: *cheers*
Sinhi: hrr hrr
Gareth: *Claps*
Visago: I die at my events all the time, hehe
Gareth: hehe
EM Dudley: Winfield is up next
Elijah Cross: Wow, so philosophic
Tancred RedStar: someone poke Winfield awake
Gareth: Winfield sent me some questions
Gareth: HE is having trouble logging in.
Mesanna: If your doing this for personal gain then your doing it for the wrong reason
EM Dudley: Ok
NANOC: *claps*
Gunga Din: That was my point heh
Gunga Din: u said it better
Gareth: I wanted to ask ... there are already some towns ready to proceed, have been around for years,
Gareth: ready for tours to show EMs, have been involved in community, etc. etc. What do we do next? D
Allistair: *claps*
Gareth: Do we reach the EMs to get banners and teleporters to start the ideas rolling? See what works?
Gareth: Do we email the EMs with ideas? Which EM? To help define ideas to select towns for these 'rew
You see: Winfield [Pax]
Tancred RedStar: there he is
Gareth: Now he back ehhe
John Duke: he is asking your question
Gareth: Winfield has many questins within questions ehhe
Winfield: I am back.
Darth Oni: wb
John Duke: go down
John Duke: quick old man
Gareth: Cmon down'
John Duke: speech time
John Duke: yay
Mesanna: Lets start with banners, I believe Dudley has a really good idea to earn the teleporters
Niva the Savage: Orc Slave not get paper from Niva!
Allistair: agreed
CharGar: CHEERS!
Mesanna: schedule your banners with Dudley and Vlad
Gareth: Dudley gonna make us bake cookies for em isnt he? *smiles*
Daria Blackmoore: lol
NANOC:
EM Dudley: You'll have to satisfy the Crown
Mesanna: they will send me locations and I will come place them
Gareth: *nods*
Tancred RedStar: We knew Casca was crooked all along!
Mesanna: Be nice to Dudley
CharGar: dudley took cookies from casca
CharGar:
Kagome: ..
EM Dudley: They were delcious!
Mesanna: lol
CharGar: heeh
NANOC:
EM Dudley: Phoenix is next if WInfield is finished
Exavior: if there is any town out there who did not start for personal gain toss the first stone
EM Vladimere: That is not a flac jacket but really a corset in desguise
Winfield: I have my answer to the "how to get started"
Winfield: But have one other question.
Prowler: i dont throw stones i park a boulder in ur yard
Winfield: How should we continue to discuss this? Throw out suggestions, our experiences with towns, etc.?
Winfield: On the UO Forums? On Stratics? The threads that are under way now?
Winfield: *listens*
Daria Blackmoore: Can always use our HoC
EM Vladimere: sofe try again
Winfield: HOC for weekly ideas is great idea.
EM Dudley: We can always have special Commons workshops
Mesanna: yes it is
Winfield: I like the idea of workshops too.
Nyx: but not for persons on a 3rd shift schedule
Winfield: In the realm.
Exavior: prowler i expect a boulder in the yard when i get home
Winfield: Thank you, I am finished.
Daria Blackmoore: Haha
Daria Blackmoore: *claps*
Tancred RedStar: *claps*
Winfield: Great effort! Thanks!
Gareth: *Claps*
Allistair: *claps*
Yoshi: *claps*
Exavior: 3 i want 4
Phoenix: Greetings
Mesanna: Hi Phoenix
Exavior: boulder storm?
Phoenix: First I want to thank you, Dudley and Vlad for all your work
Phoenix: Thank you also for the banners
EM Vladimere: Thank you for the kind words
Phoenix: they have been suggested at many townhall meetings
Phoenix: and I am glad you still have your notes
Phoenix: *grins*
Mesanna: lol
Phoenix: I would like to make a suggestion if possible as this is about community
Phoenix: Possibly we could have an event announcer at the hub
Gareth: [email protected]
Phoenix: that you could use keywords such as Guardian Gate
CharGar: nice idea
Phoenix: announcer would say Archer competion Dec 5th 9p
Phoenix: So we do not need to drop runes or books
Phoenix: but can get the word out
Phoenix: I dont know how much work this would involve but a suggestion
Phoenix: Thank you
Phoenix: dont want to add more work as I enjoy the storylines the em provide us
Mesanna: sooo how about you guys just being able to place books with event schedules for the week
Mesanna: down by your banners?
Phoenix: *nods*
Phoenix: that would work or monthly
Mesanna: these can be locked down by the EM's pretty easy
Phoenix: *nods*
Mesanna: yep
Phoenix: would also let us make sure we do not step on another event
Tancred RedStar: that is a big issue
Mesanna: exactly
Phoenix: Thank you very much again for your time
Gareth: *Claps*
Daria Blackmoore: *claps*
CharGar: cheers
Darth Oni: *cheers*
NANOC: *claps*
Yoshi: *claps*
Prowler: me now dudley
Exavior: how about a bank message board?
Allistair: great
Mesanna: your welcome
Prowler: ?
Phoenix: It was suggested
EM Dudley: Prowler is up
Phoenix: possibly a town message board with the banner
Lazarus: What about a message board at each bank that we can put events?
Phoenix: *listens to whispers in ear*
Naomie De'Layne: Is Rivi still in que?
Prowler: i am honored to be in your presents this evening
Mesanna: hi Prowler
Prowler: i have 2 questions
Prowler: 1
Mesanna: yes sir?
Prowler: i think i have a fixable solution
Prowler: for player town items
Prowler: so if the town grows
Prowler: is good if the towns go
Prowler: is fine the items return back to the game
Prowler: as we all know
Prowler: the loyalty rating went well for turmer
Prowler: what about doing town loyalty ratings
Prowler: for the items
Prowler: so if the town goes away
Prowler: so do the items
Prowler: if it growns
Prowler: more is good
CharGar: not a bad idea
Prowler: does this possably work
Celestial Knight: i agree good idea
Allistair: aye
Mesanna: that requires something out of our hands and would require a new system installed
Prowler: yes
Prowler: but
Tancred RedStar: next expansion, lol
Nyx: and who would pass out these points?
CharGar: aahhh
Mesanna: thats not a bad idea and I will bring it up to the team
Prowler: right now as we speak
Reporter: Please put me in the Que, EM Dudley.
Prowler: the team is working on loyalty ratings for factions
Prowler: didnt see why not they could throw that inb also
Exavior: auctions are 100 pts
Prowler: *shrugs
Grimlar Mithrax: also perhaps a mix of some of the things...there have been some really good ideas this evening
Mesanna: we are working on redoing factions yes
Prowler: right
Prowler: but i felt
Prowler: after seeing so many good questions
Prowler: this was a solid fix
Prowler: to it all
Prowler: bigger the town
Prowler: more ratings
Prowler: and if the town falls
Celestial Knight: it's good idea because >u can tell what town is helpin and those who are welp u know
Prowler: the goods go bu bye
Prowler: seems fair to all
Celestial Knight: lol
Mesanna: yes but please understand it would be a seperate system
Prowler: in my humble oppion
Arin: you dont have to be big to be good
Mesanna: it would have to be different rules etc
Prowler: yes
Celestial Knight: true
Mesanna: its a good idea
Prowler: but i was just throwing my oppion out there
Prowler: seemed fair to me
Prowler: is all
Mesanna: but right now I am looking to do something we can do now
Prowler: just a thought
Mesanna: not wait for something for the future
Prowler: well banners now u said fine
Mesanna: does that make sense?
Prowler: is a start
Celestial Knight: one good thing i have heard tonite that sound's great
Prowler: was just a idea
Prowler: to ponder on
Prowler: thats all
Prowler:
Sofie: MAKE IT STOP!
Prowler: my 2nd question

Darth Oni: hm?
EM Dudley: The hour grows late
Tancred RedStar: indeed
EM Dudley: Perhaps we chould continue with tonight's topic?
Rivi Ravenwynd: yes and I think we need to move back to banners
Yoshi: ok
Tancred RedStar: excellent idea
Lobonyx: please.
EM Dudley: As much as I enjoy salamii
EM Vladimere: The strike of the witching hour, 12 bells and all is well
EM Dudley: As it is the most seductive of the salted meats...
Prowler: ok
Prowler: thankyou for your tiem mesanna
Tancred RedStar: you'd be surprised what the sailors of Trinsic boast
Prowler: im sure u wont forget me
Prowler: any time soon
Prowler: im sure
Mesanna: thank you for the laugh
Prowler: anytime
Rivi Ravenwynd: my concern involves griefing and losing banners/teloporterws
Rivi Ravenwynd: if town A gets a banner/teleporter,, but town B goes to it and greives the Town A banner
Daria Blackmoore: *rubs feet*
Rivi Ravenwynd: Town A should not lose their banner b/c of auction of town b.. that would not be fair imo
Darth Oni: *chuckles*
Niva the Savage: Trade Town B?
Vek the Savage: *woggles*
Mesanna: why would town A lose their banner
Vek the Savage: hrr hrr
Rivi Ravenwynd: it was mentioned that ppl grieved u lose ur banner
Rivi Ravenwynd: but others can greive ur town and that should not cause banner loss
Mesanna: giving and taking away will not be done lightly
Rivi Ravenwynd: and it imo should be b/c of actions of ppl not in the town
Rivi Ravenwynd: for exapmle let say SHE gets one of these.. and then others release greater dragons by our banne
Rivi Ravenwynd: we have no control over griefers
Mesanna: it would not be their fault
Prowler: rivi you live in fel? if not mute point
Rivi Ravenwynd: ok good
Niva the Savage: Beast not care Gold or Gray!
Niva the Savage: Beast wild!
Rivi Ravenwynd: We dont live in fel but it is not a mute point
John Duke: where's my taxes Niva
Rivi Ravenwynd: ppl release aggro monsters to kill others al lthe time in tram
Niva the Savage: *throws bull dung at Orc Slave*
Rivi Ravenwynd: that is grieving even thouggh not in fel
John Duke: I'll take that as a down payment
Tancred RedStar: lol
Mesanna: yes they do but this will not be held against the town
Daria Blackmoore: I'd think the claim of griefing would have to be investiagted no snap judgement
Rivi Ravenwynd: Great
Rivi Ravenwynd: ty
Sofie: MAKE IT STOP!
Rivi Ravenwynd:
Rivi Ravenwynd: hugs Messana
Mesanna: your welcome
Elijah Cross: He's serious Niva...
Elijah Cross: *chuckles*
Celestial Knight: don't remeber someone saying u'r banner could be taken.
Tancred RedStar: Was I next?
Niva the Savage: Niva not give Orc Slave gold!
EM Dudley: Tancred
Gareth: Capture the banner? heh
Daria Blackmoore: hehe
Mesanna: Hi
Tancred RedStar: ok

 

[Lord Gareth]

CHAT LOG 3

Spoiler

EM Vladimere: the town would cause the loss of their banner, not other players
John Duke: yay
Tancred RedStar: got the text color going this time
Tancred RedStar: the hour grows late, I will try to be quick
Mesanna: yes you do
Tancred RedStar: as a quick aside however
Tancred RedStar: in terms of some of the earlier misgivings about the EM's
Tancred RedStar: and while Dudley is the happy go-lucky one
Tancred RedStar: and Vlad cane be gruff
Tancred RedStar: if you ask around
Tancred RedStar: have a poll
Tancred RedStar: show of ahnds
Tancred RedStar: hands
Tancred RedStar: etc
Tancred RedStar: I think you will find
Tancred RedStar: most people think they both do a good job
Allistair: aye
Elijah Cross: *cheers*
NANOC: *claps*
Tancred RedStar: ask around sometime incognito
Tancred RedStar: you will see
Daria Blackmoore: *applauds*
Tancred RedStar: ok
Tancred RedStar: With all due respect, I think a good idea would be to have a modest time requirement for a "town
Tancred RedStar: like 3 or 4 months
Tancred RedStar: This will help weed out the wannabes and reward people who really put effort into building their to
Tancred RedStar: towns
Tancred RedStar: It took us *years* to eventually get all the houses around Gyldenfeld through
Tancred RedStar: IDOC'ing, donations, trading, buying, etc.
Tancred RedStar: If theyre serious about their town, I dont think 3 or 4 months is too much to ask
Winfield: *hear hear*
Tancred RedStar: Patience is the 9th Virtue in UO
Tancred RedStar: lol
Tancred RedStar: I'm also concerned about this whole concept/project being kept simple initially
Niva the Savage: *holds up both hands*
Tancred RedStar: Once Chesapeake has this, other shards will be clamoring for it
Tancred RedStar: it needs ease of scalability or there will be problems
Gareth: I believe catskills already is.
Tancred RedStar: and no one wants to see it go away
Mesanna: Catskills has banners
Tancred RedStar: then we must invade and destroy them
Niva the Savage: (Baja has banners as well)
Tancred RedStar: oops, wrong speech
Lobonyx: :O
Daria Blackmoore: hehe
Daria Blackmoore: woot
Mesanna: and honestly I have only done like 9 banners for towns there
Gareth: I prolly said it wrong. I always do lol
Mesanna: but
Mesanna: taking your idea
Mesanna: about pending towns
Mesanna: have the towns apply for a banner
[Alliance][John Duke]: and then we must invade and destroy them?
[Alliance][Tancred RedStar]: that's right! til theyre all but wind-blown cinders!!!
Mesanna: put up a pending simple pending banner with a date
[Alliance][John Duke]: hehehehe
Mesanna: that way it will be easy to for all to track
Gareth: *nods*
Daria Blackmoore: Not bad
Gareth: We gave dudley a book.
Tancred RedStar: no one wants to see a "town" pop up as a facade for the next gold-seller's megamall
Tancred RedStar: Lastly
Mesanna: putting up a simple white banner with a date on it will not hurt anything
Mesanna: imo
Tancred RedStar: and thank you and both you EM's for your time tonight
Tancred RedStar: Lastly
Tancred RedStar: can you give us even a vague, vague hint about 2009 Holiday gifts?
Mesanna: and it will let all know how long they were around before getting full town rights
Mesanna: oh
John Duke: will there be dead savages?
EM Dudley: Yoshi is next
Mesanna: No dead savages sorry
Niva the Savage: HA-OOH! HA-OOH! HA-OOH!
Mesanna: but I think you will like the gifts
Elijah Cross: *chuckles at John*
Daria Blackmoore: hehe
John Duke: she said savages
Tancred RedStar: plz no candles with bows again, lol
Prowler: 4ft x mas salamis?
John Duke: there might be a dead savage
Tancred RedStar: thank you
John Duke: instead of lots
Niva the Savage: Try!
John Duke: keep that in mind Niva
Naomie De'Layne: *ponders that....*
Yoshi: Thank You for hearing me mesanna
Winfield: *cheers for Yoshi*
Mesanna: of course
Tancred RedStar: do I need to sit elsewhere?
Tancred RedStar: lol
Mesanna: Greetings
Yoshi: thanks to both EM
NANOC: *claps*
Elijah Cross: I would Tancred...
Yoshi: events are wonderful
Sofie: My teeth!
Elijah Cross: *smiles*
Phoenix: *claps*
Yoshi: when we first started talking
John Duke: winfield will protect me
Yoshi: about linking the communities
Yoshi: it was also for the new players
Yoshi: coming into the cities
Yoshi: and not knowing where to go
Yoshi: If we start putting up teleporters to communities
Yoshi: and new players go through
Yoshi: no one is there
Yoshi: they are not going to know what is going on
Niva the Savage: Vistors too!
EM Vladimere: thats why the locked down books to tell when your events are happening
Yoshi: They are not going to see a bunch of teleporters here
Yoshi: and say
Yoshi: I think Ill go to this community
Niva the Savage: Good Hunting all!
Yoshi: Just a suggestion ...that we need to keep
Lobonyx: *wonders if savages get cold*
Yoshi: our new players in the back of everyones mind
Winfield: *cheers about new players*
Yoshi: Thank You
Daria Blackmoore: *claps*
EM Vladimere: i try to tame Niva all the time
Mesanna: I agree we do not want to add to the frustration of new players
Darth Oni: *cheers*
Lobonyx: How is that working?
EM Vladimere: Slowly
EM Vladimere: lol
Phoenix: Aye they come into haven how will they even know of this hub?
Mesanna: Its a hard balance
Lobonyx: *smiles*
Yoshi: yes
Yoshi: and having no one around
Prowler: what about blocking the teleporters
Yoshi: if they choose to go through this teleporter
Prowler: so young players cannt use them
Yoshi: is going toconfuse them even more
Yoshi: if no one is around
Prowler: that gives the young player the 40 hours game time to figure things out
Gareth: Then have a general warning book infront of the hub?
EM Vladimere: your over thinking this
Prowler: yes yes
Nyx: *wonders who has honestly seen a true new player in years*
Vek the Savage: (aye a book or informative sign)
Prowler: think inside the 4ft salami .. not out side of it
Prowler: right em vlad?
Lobonyx: :/
EM Vladimere: no comment
EM Vladimere: lol
Prowler: ugh
Prowler: lol
Vek the Savage: =(
Yoshi: thank you for your time
Allistair: I was a newb 7 montha ago
EM Vladimere: i was a newb 11 years ago
EM Dudley: Lobo you're up
Prowler: 2009 x mas gift 4ft summer sausage!
Nyx: new to shard or game?
Lobonyx: yay!
EM Vladimere: Game
Gareth: heh
Prowler: with cracjkers
Allistair: both
Lobonyx: ahem...
Winfield: *raises hand for the queue*
Vek the Savage: (high fives allistair))
Daria Blackmoore: *claps*
Lobonyx: Whatever is decided requirements to be a town or city
Allistair: *(connects with high five)
Lobonyx: and if a town in progress is not yet meeting that standard
Lobonyx: but will in later months
Lobonyx: can they still get a banner?
Lobonyx: after they meet requirements, say much later from now.
Naomie De'Layne: Enjoyed!!! Take Care all!!
EM Vladimere: nite
Sofie: You just can't find a good Britannian dentist these days...
Baby Bear: off me
Prowler: see em vlad
Baby Bear: lol
Vek the Savage: Vek sorry
Baby Bear: lol
Prowler: i offered to remove that tooth with a shovel at my home and ur not in pain anymore
Baby Bear: k
Mesanna: when the towns first apply I would think they would get a plain banner
Mesanna: with their application date maybe
Lobonyx: I see. And we apply by emailing you or Valdimere?
Mesanna: replaced by a selected banner after they meet the time requirements?
Sofie: i'm trying to recall eating candy.....
Gareth: *Nods*
Sofie: i must have chased it down with an ale...
Mesanna: Yes email your EM's
Baby Bear: cool an establihsed date ?
Lobonyx: And that is how we officially establish our towns (even ones Like Paxlair that have been around)
EM Vladimere: [email protected]
Mesanna: you guys know what towns have been around for years
Mesanna: they will bypass the waiting period I would think
Arin: they been around but not active
Lobonyx: Okay, that makes sense I think.
Mesanna: newly established towns are more of a concern
Lobonyx: Well, Paxlair was just an example of many towns.
Mesanna: if a town is not active why would they apply
EM Dudley: Perhaps a nomination process by which non residents can nominate a town?
Lobonyx: We have many very awesome towns that are around.
Mesanna: why would they even care?
Vek the Savage: *falls asleep almost light baby bears hair ablaze*
Daria Blackmoore: hehe
Arin: they use to be active in fel days but not since
Mesanna: let me show you what I am talking about
Mesanna: give me a sec

*Mesanna goes to the southern end of the tent and sets up a sample banner*



Nyx: how many towns are wanting these banners/teleporters?
Lobonyx: *waits patiently*
Baby Bear: couldent read that in journal so go to sleep
Baby Bear:
Vek the Savage: *hrr hrr*
Prowler: i am just interested in the banner
Prowler: i am simple
Baby Bear: just watch that torch
Lobonyx: We just want a banner when we're town worthy.
Prowler: where my home is isnt well
Prowler: where my home is i should not be penalized
Prowler: for woods
Vek the Savage: *test*
EM Vladimere: in case anyone sent me an e-mail I wont be checking it till tommorrow sometime
Lobonyx: *noted*
Lobonyx: oo
EM Dudley: That's where my pillowcase went!
Daria Blackmoore: lol
Gunga Din: lol
Darth Oni: lol
Phoenix: *laughs*
Baby Bear: lol
Vek the Savage: hrr hrr
Lobonyx: :O
Tancred RedStar: I was thinking shower scene
Lobonyx: is that drool I see on it?
Daria Blackmoore: physco
Sofie: ha ha i got the sudden urge to go shower as well.....
Daria Blackmoore: she doea have a dagger
Sofie:
Daria Blackmoore: *grins*
Phoenix: *claps*
NANOC: *claps*
Gunga Din: yea that would work great
Daria Blackmoore: Very nice
Baby Bear: my dar u grew
Vek the Savage: HA OOH!
Lobonyx: that would be the starter, or something like that?
Mesanna: yes thats my idea
Prowler: well
Daria Blackmoore: Sak is just makin friends hehe
EM Dudley: It's very nice
Prowler: better then a used diapier!
Lobonyx: and then it could evolve as the town grows or earns points or whatever system is made.
Sakurai: sorry
Gunga Din: mb smaller outposts could just have banners
Baby Bear: humm how mch was that lap dance
Mesanna: maybe the name of the town just for the records
Daria Blackmoore: no worries friend
Exavior: will you be visiting the towns for a tour?
EM Vladimere: Sugguestion: Temp banner like that one with a locked down rune till you get town/city status
Vek the Savage: Vek accept orc heads
Lobonyx: ((and my question was answered, thats all I had and thank you very much))
Sofie: ARRGH! My tooth hurts sooo much!
EM Vladimere: once you get town/city then a perm banner with a teleporter
Phoenix: *nods*
EM Vladimere: again sugguestion
Tancred RedStar: like a vetting process
Gunga Din: for smaller areas, how abotu just banners, no teleporter?
Mesanna: makes sense
Nyx: Do we invite you and the Ems for a town tour?
Mesanna: not every town needs teleporters
Gunga Din: right
Gunga Din: for my project, i just need recognition
EM Vladimere: yes, send e-mail asking for time to visit
Baby Bear: then they would be up every where
EM Vladimere: we reply with time to meet and where
Darth Oni: runes and/or books nice too
Sofie: ARRGH! My tooth hurts sooo much!
Nyx: ty Vlad
Lobonyx: *pulls tooth out*
Gunga Din: if u just reward larger areas
EM Vladimere: i feel for you Sofie
Baby Bear: im going orc hunting lol
Mesanna: how much candy have you eaten
EM Dudley: This could be folded into a process of applying for township with the Crown
Gunga Din: u wont be promoting the community
Vek the Savage: hrr hrr
EM Dudley: In which the Royal Registrar would visit and tour and such
Tancred RedStar: I like that idea
Allistair: aye
NANOC: aye
Winfield: *likes Dudley's idea, fold it into RPing with the Queen*
Nyx: In Jux Mani Xen - Blood Oath
Nyx: Wouldnt that require all towns to start at square 1
Prowler: well
Prowler: i have a question now
Baby Bear: towns have mayors
Prowler: on that
Prowler: em dudley
EM Dudley: Hm?
EM Vladimere: Sugguestion: We can exclude towns already established for years
Prowler: u seen my home
Prowler: wouls i get penalized
Prowler: trees not in my power to move
Vek the Savage: oo
Vek the Savage: *sniffs*
Arin: why would we ? there not active?
EM Dudley: *quirks brow*
Prowler: cannt be faulted for that
Sofie: You just can't find a good Britannian dentist these days...
EM Vladimere: Active ones
EM Dudley: Not sure I know what you're referring too...
EM Vladimere: was a sugguestion
Prowler: ok
Tancred RedStar: there are many abadoned towns
Prowler: just wondering
Prowler: because
Prowler: id be happy
Prowler: with just a banner
Prowler: really
Prowler: just wondering if im doomed because where i live
Prowler: unless u know a darn good lumberjack
EM Dudley: I wouldn't think so
Arin: iam just saying yes there is old towns but they should prove themselfs too since not active
Prowler: ok ty
EM Vladimere: agreed
EM Dudley: We do have a three left in the Que
Gareth: Can build it ontop of the trees Prowler
Tancred RedStar: well some towns like Nidaros or Duir or Mythndale are long gone
EM Dudley: Gunga was next
Nyx: right and not ride on the coattaols of age
Prowler: if that was so
Prowler: ill take the first cloud city
Gareth: hehehe
Tancred RedStar: lol
Gunga Din: I just want to make the pt to give merit to smaller areas as well
Exavior: can i ride in a wagon in the caravan?
Prowler: uh
Exavior: sorry i was just thinking
Allistair: established towns that are still active should already be accepted
Prowler: u can be in charge exaviour
Tancred RedStar: give merit? or have them earn it?
Prowler: of the town hobby horse
Gunga Din: aye
Gunga Din: earn
Exavior: yes
Sofie: AAAH! It feels like someone kicked me in the teeth!
Gunga Din: I for one dont need teleporters
Tancred RedStar: my town started when we opened the Red Wolf and just started having events
Tancred RedStar: at first no one came, lol
Tancred RedStar: but we just kept at it
Tancred RedStar: and over time lots of people came
Gunga Din: but a banner to bring people or setup events
Tancred RedStar: a banner won't magically bring people, there has to be a reason to go there
Gunga Din: right
Vek the Savage: oo
Winfield: Over the past 11 years, there have been about 15 player towns on chessy, 3-4 blessed, & 6 left.
Allistair: if you build it they will come, lol
Vek the Savage: Vek like
Gunga Din: but u can promote events through it
Lobonyx: lol
EM Vladimere: the teleporters are great for those that cant recall
Tancred RedStar: start simple, host a guided hunt or something
Bjorn Darkstone: good night all, thank you for your time
Winfield: Just a historical note.
Exavior: yes agreed
Tancred RedStar: treasure hunting night, ask ppl to bring maps
Tancred RedStar: or a fishing contest, just need a boat
Gunga Din: that is all, thx for hosting this meeting
EM Dudley: Masta still here?
Tancred RedStar: start simple
Mesanna: your welcome
Arin: yes
Vek the Savage: Vek leave now too
Masta Blasta: yes
EM Dudley: Masta you're up
Masta Blasta: so if i were able to make my houses in felucca into a town
Masta Blasta: would i then be able to connect that town with an auction house in luna
Tancred RedStar: lol
Masta Blasta: like a teleporter between the two locations
Exavior: me too
Nyx: just get a 12th yr vet reward for that
Masta Blasta: that only connects houses
Exavior: oh hi vlad didn't see you there
Masta Blasta: this is town to house
EM Vladimere: been here all night
Gareth: Cant miss the orange
Nyx: In Jux Mani Xen - Blood Oath
Baby Bear: i want what he is smokin
Nyx: can an em lock down a 12th yr telly on a road?
Nyx: if we own
Reporter: I highly dislike this notion, as it ruins the entire idea of a town.
Arin: you cant have a auction in fel
Mesanna: I am against that idea
Reporter: A town is supposed to be a unified area. Not a dispersed assortment of homes.
Grimlar Mithrax: i said my farewells thinking i wasnt going to be back in time
Masta Blasta: also i have a question about something totally off topic
Gareth: yay Hi grimlar
Mesanna: I really don't want to leave a town to a house
Darth Oni: wb grim
Grimlar Mithrax: thank ye
Grimlar Mithrax: hail all
Grimlar Mithrax: again
Grimlar Mithrax: *smiles*
Prowler: hello
Masta Blasta: why is the R word highly illegal to say? i mean people say it and get perma banned
Tancred RedStar: oh boy
Allistair: Thanks to our wonderful EMs and Devs, good night to you all!
Masta Blasta: it really is not that offensive of a word, its just an action
EM Vladimere: g'nite
Masta Blasta: people say it in terms of pvp or think it
Reporter: *slaps her face into her hand lightly*
Grimlar Mithrax: farewell Allistair
Allistair: keep up the great work
Mesanna: I know
Mesanna: its an old rule
Masta Blasta: ah
Phoenix: *nods*
Masta Blasta: well they should change it...
Mesanna: kinda of like saying bomb on a plane
Phoenix: 11 years at least
Masta Blasta: lol
EM Vladimere: goes back almost 11 years
Darth Oni: *is clueless*
Baby Bear: me to oni
EM Vladimere: very old rule
Tancred RedStar: just don't say it, lol
Darth Oni: *chuckles*
Tancred RedStar: plenty other words to use
Mesanna: I used to live in a town that had a law on the books
Exavior: so no ___ or plundering
Mesanna: that you could not wear red heels down town
Gareth: hehe
Daria Blackmoore: lol
NANOC:
Phoenix: *laughs*
Masta Blasta:
Baby Bear: OOHhhH
Mesanna: I am not kidding
EM Dudley: It was illegal to eat onions on Sunday in Chicago until 1996
EM Vladimere: so you tell them its dark pink
Tancred RedStar: I live in a town where you have to be a certain number of feet away
Mesanna: it was a sign you were in a very old profession =P
Arin: you cant wear shorts in turkey
NANOC:
Tancred RedStar: yes you can
Masta Blasta: also, what would it take to get ea's policy on returning lost items and lost characters changed?
EM Vladimere: You cant shoot buffalo from 2nd floor hotel in texas
Masta Blasta: like where would i have to get started to do this
Grimlar Mithrax: a heck of a lot more GM's
Grimlar Mithrax: LOL
Exavior: in alabama your not allowed to tie your geraffe to a hitching post
Nyx: so cursing isnt illegal
Masta Blasta: to me, it is the most horrible policy ever
Grimlar Mithrax: hehe
Phoenix: Cant use profanity in from of women and children in Michigan
EM Vladimere: depends on who your curseing at
Tancred RedStar: has the meeting regarding the town stuff come to a close?
Masta Blasta: if someone hacks an account and deletes your character, ea will not help at all
Prowler: masta
Prowler: ur kickin a dead horse
Reporter: No, we are just extremely offtopic. *sighs*
EM Dudley: There is still one person left on teh que
Prowler: those rules came out in the first 6 months of uo
Prowler: when was beta
Prowler: they wont change it
Masta Blasta: well im asking since we have a dev team member here
Masta Blasta: that doesnt happen often
Tancred RedStar: this is what happens every time
Prowler: yes
Prowler: but
Nyx: An Nox - Cure
Nyx: well for example
Tancred RedStar: and it's annoying for most everyone
Prowler: some words arnt ment to be used
Mesanna: Masta to be honest that rule is older than I am
Masta Blasta: you guys talked enough about houses
EM Vladimere: Mesanna is Dev Team, Not Legal Department
Masta Blasta: and towns
Nyx: what would be the difference
Gareth: just have one quick suggestion
Mesanna: and I have worked on UO for over 9 years and played it for 12
EM Vladimere: Mesanna is Dev Team, Not Legal Department
Masta Blasta: wow
Masta Blasta: so how do i contact the legal department?
Tancred RedStar: omg
Exavior: i just want to see this game get better and more fun
Gareth: *Face plant*
Nyx: of saying the r word and rewording it to you were forcably fu**ed
Phoenix: *shakes head*
Baby Bear: ohh gezz
Gareth: Demon Slayer is that you?
Mesanna: as we all do
Masta Blasta: tancred, if you ever got hacked, you would care about what i was saying, k thanks
Prowler: hey masta
Prowler: just liek u get ban for releasing a hostle pet in tram
Exavior: and if you can do these things, you are the bomb
Gareth: Can you link to the EMs brit area as well if you do link the towns. Players get lost easy
Tancred RedStar: I do care, but this isnt the time or place
Exavior: oh did i say bomb sorry
Prowler: that was me that got that rule put in the book
Prowler: long ago'
Prowler: trammies used moonglow cem to farm gold
Prowler: young players
Prowler: with no young tag
Prowler: i released dragoj in there
Prowler: casted stone wall at gate
Gareth: I always looted the bodies at the X Roads when I was young player.
Prowler: and invised
Prowler: watched the buffet
Reporter: Can we please get back to the matters at hand?
Prowler: u now get ban for releasing hostle pets in tram
Nyx: In Mani - Heal

EM Dudley: Reporter
Reporter: Thank you.
EM Vladimere: [email protected]
Gunga Din: no ,not the reporter !!
Gareth: ooooo Vladdy made it public
Gareth: :_)
Reporter: Developer Lady Mesanna, Lord EM Dudley, Lord EM Vladimiere
Reporter: I am very glad we have such dedicated staff as yourself. I have listened long and hard
Reporter: And have observed the posts and threads about tonight for quite some time
Reporter: I have heard many things addressed and answered quite well
Reporter: And I have seen things that i both agree and disagree with
Reporter: However, I must say that there are a few things I strongly disagree with.
Bio: baby bear can i cuddle by u
EM Vladimere: No Candy!!
Reporter: I am very much against your offer, Lady Mesanna, of banks to player cities or organization
Exavior: wait for it
Baby Bear: sure
Reporter: In any aspect.
Baby Bear: looks like long night
Bio: sweet
Reporter: The reasoning behind this is that these do not support the community
Reporter: but rather draw away from it.
Gareth: I musta missed the bank thing heh
Exavior: i dis agree
Reporter: These additions to player towns
Reporter: remove reasons to care about
Reporter: Defend
Reporter: Or protect the true cities of britannia
Grimlar Mithrax: *looks at the lollipop*
Grimlar Mithrax: Mmm
Exavior: this will alow players to bank things they buy in town easyer
Reporter: While we are all very pleased with our abilities to change and shape our worlds, our shards
Gareth: The player cities will have random attacks as well.
Tancred RedStar: theyre all empty except Haven and Luna, what do you mean?
Reporter: There must be reasons to care about the other cities, or they will forever remain empty
Reporter: I also disagree strongly with a 'Town items' initiative.
Bio: omg noone will sit in luna anymore and burn counts
Nyx: Reporter, what if you were new to a town and could not get back to a city a bank may be of
Exavior: brit is to cluttered for me
Tancred RedStar: give them the Magincia treatment!
Reporter: This brings into the factor the same greed that plagues the current faction system
Nyx: great need
Reporter: Towns will be established merely for the items
Reporter: Not for the progress of the community
Reporter: While it will indeed encourage activities to be supported for the community
Exavior: either way our town will grow
Exavior: to help others
Yoshi: Ill go
Mesanna: Before you go much further
Reporter: I am unsure that it should be gone about it directly for items.
Reporter: Yes?
Mesanna: I said there was an option to do something like that
Mesanna: nothing has been put in concrete
Prowler: *begins recruiting a linch mob*
Reporter: That is why I wished to address it, calmly and at this time.
Arin: repoter are u from this shard?
Reporter: I did not see a single person object, and felt my opinion was needed.
Prowler: *to help reporter off the shard*
Tancred RedStar: show of hands?
Reporter: I am from many shards; I do reside here on chesapeake as well.
Nyx: Ill help
Reporter: I count amongst my residences Chesapeake, Europa, Atlantic, and Catskills.
Exavior: ok what draws people to luna?
Rivi Ravenwynd: Well u didnt objections b/c majority hear did not fell as u do
Mesanna: I just don't want you to get the wrong opinon here
Winfield: I think the EMs at this point should keep all options open for enhancing the towns.
Exavior: having all amminities in one area
Mesanna: you see to feel like it was all mapped out
Winfield: Even if it takes several years.
Mesanna: and it has not been
Reporter: I did not say my opinion was absolute nor that it should be held above others.
Bio: *puts tape over reporters mouth*
Baby Bear: lol
Reporter: I must have misspoken then, and I apologize.
Reporter: *bows head slightly*
Baby Bear: yahhh
Tancred RedStar: I liked the ice cream shop idea
Bio: hehe
Gareth: woot woot for ice creram
Gareth: *cream
Darth Oni: yes...
Darth Oni: ice cream!
Tancred RedStar: I scream
Mesanna: You have every right to voice your opinion
Grimlar Mithrax: in my opinion, everyone in entitled to their say
EM Dudley: I kindly ask that everyone show each other the respect of not interupting the spearkers
Baby Bear: ohh give the little grimlin his sce cream
Grimlar Mithrax: *nods*
EM Vladimere: My idea is the pillow looking like a marshmellow at this point in time
Reporter: The other things, the banner and application process
Mesanna: I just wanted to make sure you knew alot of things have been said tonight
Reporter: I am quite happy to hear about, and agree fully.
Mesanna: alot of suggestions
Reporter: *nods*
Reporter: I am concerned though, that perhaps
Mesanna: You are a shard still have thing to finalize
Reporter: Lord Dudley
Mesanna: I am just getting it started
Reporter: You said you have an idea for the towns to be accepted by the Queen, yes?
Mesanna: That was Dudleys idea
EM Dudley: In some light, aye. The final decision must rest with the citizens
Reporter: I ask this
Reporter: Because If it were so, I would be very pleased to see something similar
Baby Bear: when do towns have queens
EM Dudley: But the petition should be made to the Queen
Reporter: Or at least a somewhat 'standardized' way to go about this
Reporter: for most shards
Freaky Deeky: hehe Camoflague I haz it
EM Dudley: Afterall, you are in her Queendom.
Baby Bear: yea dont think she will like that to mucjhj
EM Vladimere: dont compair chessy to other shards
Reporter: You must compare all shards to others in terms of fairness, EM Vladimiere
Yoshi: sorry
EM Vladimere: sorry i dont agree with that
Prowler: uh em masanna dagger red.. someone getting shived
Reporter: Were this for a single guild that had shown immense prowess
Reporter: the likes of which were unheard
EM Vladimere: what i do should not be compaired with what other em do
Gareth: Each shard being different shows it unique/
Reporter: Then yes, It should be entirely unique.
Reporter: However, you are looking at a way to enrich the community...
Darth Oni: *streches*
Reporter: And your attitude in this matter seems as if you are saying...
NANOC: Chesapeaks
Reporter: The chesapeake community is superior to all others
Freaky Deeky: Crashapeake!
Reporter: And the others do not deserve a fair chance.
NANOC: they have
NANOC: EM's
Reporter: *sighs*
EM Vladimere: my oponion is chessy is the best shard online
Tancred RedStar: word
Baby Bear: woo hoo u know it
Gareth: Their citizens should suggest it to their EMs
Reporter: Mesanna is the one whom has to put in much of the work in this matter.
Prowler: reporter
Reporter: While yes, much of it is up to the EM's
NANOC: We are here talking about OUR shard
Reporter: It is unfair to not think of ANYONE else.
Gareth: *Listens*
Prowler: reporter?
Reporter: This is as selfish as wishing for only your guild to acquire a teleporter.
Prowler: em dudley and em vlad
Gareth: :_/
EM Vladimere: i honestly dont care what other shards do, I care what this shard does
NANOC: You would know about that
Prowler: are from other shards
Tancred RedStar: why you making judgements on ppl
Prowler: they em here
Prowler: if the em's
Reporter: I am not.
Gareth: Dont judge Vladimere
Reporter: I merely stated how it appeared.,
Prowler: state chessy is best
Winfield: *cheers for Vlad*
EM Vladimere: i get paid to care about this shard
Prowler: and there only a em here
Prowler: that has something to be said
Prowler: does it not
Grimlar Mithrax: *cheers*
EM Vladimere: and i do care
Reporter: I believe you said earlier we are all entitled to our opinions...
Reporter: Does that no longer hold true for me?
Reporter: If so, I shall take my leave then.
Grimlar Mithrax: may i interrupt for a moment?
Reporter: Thank you for your consideration, Lady Mesanna.
EM Vladimere: even if they did not pay me I would care more for this shard then any other
Reporter: Thank you for yours, Lord Dudley.
Gareth: awww
