Meeting Chat Log:
(06/04 21:01:09) Vortmax: First of all, I'm Vortmax with The D'ni Network, and tonight we're here to talk to you about Relayer Corps, a new group from Ly'net and D'ni Network :D
(06/04 21:01:29) Maid4Life claps her hands
(06/04 21:01:35) Erandel claps his hands
(06/04 21:01:39) Vortmax: Thanks to all of you for coming out. And now, Ly'net, take it away!
(06/04 21:01:48) Relayer Corps: Thank you Vort.
(06/04 21:02:08) Relayer Corps: My name is Ly'net, and I'm a regular explorer like everyone else here.
(06/04 21:02:24) Relayer Corps: During the tradegy with Wheeley and Rose,
(06/04 21:02:39) Relayer Corps: I was one of the fortunate people to be able to get into the city
(06/04 21:02:52) Relayer Corps: but I had several friends who couldn't
(06/04 21:03:15) Relayer Corps: I along with a lot of you here relayed information to my friends.
(06/04 21:03:41) Relayer Corps: but unfortunately I sometimes had to leave the city unexpectedly
(06/04 21:04:07) Relayer Corps: So during the times I wasn't there, I ansd my friends missed out on what was happening.
(06/04 21:04:40) Relayer Corps: After all the commotion had subsided and we all had a chance to reflect on what had happened
(06/04 21:05:11) Relayer Corps: I saw a post on one of the forums thanking the relayers who had done such a great job informing others
(06/04 21:05:29) Relayer Corps: That gave me the idea for this organization.
(06/04 21:05:51) Relayer Corps: I hope that explained what a relayer is.
(06/04 21:06:04) Poseidon nods his head
(06/04 21:06:06) Dr James Donovan cheers
(06/04 21:06:08) Relayer Corps: Now that you have the important background,
(06/04 21:06:11) peni nods her head
(06/04 21:06:12) The Doctor: makes sense
(06/04 21:06:43) Relayer Corps: I want to go onto explain how I envision the Relayer Corps working\
(06/04 21:07:11) Relayer Corps: First, we need to have 2 - 3 relayers where the action is
(06/04 21:07:31) Relayer Corps: One to do the actual relaying and the other 2 as backups
(06/04 21:08:02) Relayer Corps: I have had requests not to be required to join this bevin
(06/04 21:08:18) Relayer Corps: I think I have a way to make that option availbe
(06/04 21:08:56) Sira: its lag
(06/04 21:09:07) Relayer Corps: We can have one of the relayers relaying exclusivly to people on the buddies list.
(06/04 21:09:45) Relayer Corps: This can include relayers stationed in the bevins as wellas single people off exploring by themselves.
(06/04 21:09:56) Relayer Corps: Does this make sense so far?
(06/04 21:10:01) Maid4Life: Yes
(06/04 21:10:05) peni nods her head
(06/04 21:10:06) Sudre: yes
(06/04 21:10:07) Relayer Corps: good.
(06/04 21:10:08) Ti'chelle nods head
(06/04 21:10:10) Jinanin: Yes
(06/04 21:10:11) Erandel nods his head
(06/04 21:10:12) SeanMc74 nods his head
(06/04 21:10:14) DeAn: yes
(06/04 21:10:17) Dichromus nod
(06/04 21:10:17) Poseidon nods his head
(06/04 21:10:18) Whilyam: Lag.
(06/04 21:10:19) No'ga: yes
(06/04 21:10:22) Alsource: yes
(06/04 21:10:23) Whilyam nods his head
(06/04 21:10:25) Foxylass: yes
(06/04 21:10:47) Relayer Corps: This will give us the ability to include more of the cavern population as the action is happening.
(06/04 21:10:58) cxevalo: sume what
(06/04 21:11:21) Relayer Corps: i was going to talk about the possibility of using a relaying program,
(06/04 21:11:44) Relayer Corps: But I didn't recieve a confirmation on it from the program designer
(06/04 21:11:53) Relayer Corps: So that will have to wait for another meeting.
(06/04 21:12:18) Maid4Life: Would we also need cyan's permission for that?
(06/04 21:12:28) Poseidon: if we make a new avie and have them join the relayer corps bevin can you use the neibhor chat option....... so i do not have to keep track of everyone?
(06/04 21:12:33) Erandel wants to ask a question...
(06/04 21:12:33) Erandel: is it also worth posting relayers in other Bevins, that way relayers can give larger population bevins a route to giving information outside the cavern as well
(06/04 21:12:37) Roger Telco: Have you had any discussions w/Cyan about tying into the existing distribution media ...
(06/04 21:12:44) Vortmax: Please PM me with 'question' or use the /askquestion command if you have a question. You'll be added to the queue and called on in turn.
(06/04 21:12:45) Roger Telco: like the the 'hood imagers
(06/04 21:12:49) Relayer Corps: The question has been raised as to how we are going to make sure we have a relayer available when the action is happening
(06/04 21:13:29) Relayer Corps: the only solution we have been able to come up with so far is rotating shifts.
(06/04 21:14:01) Poseidon: i dont mind doing shifts
(06/04 21:14:09) The Doctor: seems fair
(06/04 21:14:31) Poseidon: will it be organised..... have a log of when everyone is on shift?
(06/04 21:14:37) Erandel: I am used to shifts anyway as a greeter, its a solution that works well
(06/04 21:15:11) Relayer Corps: we do have someone willing to keep the shift logs
(06/04 21:15:52) Relayer Corps: that's it in a nutshell
(06/04 21:15:56) Erandel: Also, I would reccommend keeping spots open for floaters, that way if a relayer happens to be on and they spot something, it gives the corps greater flexibility
(06/04 21:16:14) Relayer Corps: yes. That's a good idea
(06/04 21:16:20) Erandel: but I will leave the floor open to you now and stop interrupting Relayer corps :)
(06/04 21:16:26) Relayer Corps: Lol ty
(06/04 21:16:31) Vortmax: I just wanted to add that D'ni Network was working on something similar, but Ly'net got it out first. We're very pleased she decided to join with us to run this project!
(06/04 21:16:40) Relayer Corps: lol
(06/04 21:16:58) Relayer Corps: Who has the first question?
(06/04 21:16:58) Vortmax: And with that, let's start the questions! DeAn, you're up
(06/04 21:16:59) DeAn: do we have to join the bevin to be a relayer
(06/04 21:17:33) Relayer Corps: no. Since we have a buddies list option avail;able, we can have a relayer relaying just to that list
(06/04 21:17:40) DeAn: ok
(06/04 21:17:49) Relayer Corps: As long as your on it, you will get the info.
(06/04 21:17:56) Relayer Corps: Next?
(06/04 21:18:02) Sira: how formalized will the scheduling be? if someone suddenly can't make it, is that what the floaters are for?
(06/04 21:18:10) Vortmax: Sira! :D
(06/04 21:18:16) Vortmax: Or, yeah, that's it.
(06/04 21:18:22) Sira: lol
(06/04 21:18:54) Relayer Corps: that will be one option. I am hoping we will have enough relayers available that we can cover any unforseen ummm.....disappearences.
(06/04 21:19:04) Relayer Corps: Next?
(06/04 21:19:11) Vortmax: Erandel!
(06/04 21:19:22) Erandel: I was asking earlier about stationing relayers in larger Population Bevins, as it would give people more options
(06/04 21:19:50) Erandel: will this be carried out?
(06/04 21:19:57) Relayer Corps: it is my hope that we will have atleast 3 bevins that will advertise that they have a relayer available.
(06/04 21:20:29) Relayer Corps: i have had several explorers who wish to exclusivly relay for theie bevin
(06/04 21:20:42) Relayer Corps: So, I don't see that as a problem.
(06/04 21:20:49) Relayer Corps: Next?
(06/04 21:20:51) Vortmax: Roger Telco!
(06/04 21:20:54) Roger Telco: Will you be able to talk to Cyan about using existing media like the hood imagers? (eg send logs or photos direct from action to imager) - also use of macro or retyping aids
(06/04 21:21:23) Relayer Corps: i have not been able to yet, but that is something I am working on.
(06/04 21:21:53) Vortmax: Sudre!
(06/04 21:21:55) Sudre: Has it been tested to see if a large amount of ppl in the Buddies list will work properly? With this many ppl we could test here tonight.
(06/04 21:22:18) Relayer Corps: that is a great idea. We can test that out after the meeting.
(06/04 21:22:33) Vortmax: Thend!
(06/04 21:22:35) Thend: Will the resources of the Relayers be available for events other than what we refer to as 'episodic storyline' content and special guest-appearances? Will there be coverage available for more explorer-based meetings and such related things?
(06/04 21:23:23) Relayer Corps: as those events come up, as long as we are not needed for city events, I don't see any problems with it.
(06/04 21:23:46) Relayer Corps: but I would like to wait until we have had a chance to get any bugs out of the system
(06/04 21:24:08) Relayer Corps: Unless these events don't mind being guine pigs
(06/04 21:24:13) Thend nods his head
(06/04 21:24:17) Vortmax: Maid4Life!
(06/04 21:24:19) Maid4Life: What will the time requirements of Relayers be? Will they be assinged shifts or can we sign up?
(06/04 21:24:35) Relayer Corps: I would much rather people sign up for it.
(06/04 21:24:49) Relayer Corps: you know what times you are available better than I do.
(06/04 21:25:02) Vortmax: Zedra!
(06/04 21:25:06) Zedra: To allow people to take others places in a full area, just requires the new person to stay in the nexus until the other person says they are leaving, and then the new person can take their spot. Just a suggestion.
(06/04 21:25:32) Zedra: This worked for me and another neighbour.
(06/04 21:25:34) Relayer Corps: good suggestion. I will take that under consideration.
(06/04 21:25:42) Vortmax: Relayer Bugsy!
(06/04 21:25:45) Relayer Bugsy: Aside from shifts, how will we ensure widespread coverage among the various hoods? Will we have certain 'set' locations with a relayer, and will we be accepting requests from hoods for an assigned relayer? Also, how do we know who all we need to have on buddies?
(06/04 21:25:53) Whilyam: When many people are trying to get in, that doesn't work, Zedra.
(06/04 21:26:31) Relayer Corps: what I would like to see happen, is the different hoods to come to us.
(06/04 21:26:46) Relayer Corps: they can let us know if they want a relayer persent or not
(06/04 21:27:00) Relayer Corps: i don't want to force ourselves on anyone.
(06/04 21:27:11) Maid4Life: I don't think that will be a problem. LOL!
(06/04 21:27:31) Relayer Corps: I would like to have a time period in which bevins can sign up.
(06/04 21:27:34) SeanMc74 wants to ask a question...
(06/04 21:27:46) Relayer Corps: That will let us know how many relayers we will need.
(06/04 21:28:00) Relayer Bugsy: And the second part, how do we know who we need to add as buddies to relay to?
(06/04 21:28:01) Relayer Corps: Did that answer your question?
(06/04 21:28:12) Relayer Bugsy: yes'm :)
(06/04 21:28:21) Relayer Corps: The amount of bevins that sign up will tell us how many we will need.
(06/04 21:28:27) Relayer Corps: next?
(06/04 21:28:33) DeAn: who do we contact for scheduling our shift?
(06/04 21:29:15) Relayer Corps: You can contact me or Rel;ayer Sumatria for now. The pwerson who was going to do that is not here atm. He had previous commitments.
(06/04 21:29:26) Relayer Corps: Sorry about the typos everyone
(06/04 21:29:29) DeAn: ok
(06/04 21:29:31) Relayer Corps: next?
(06/04 21:29:32) Poseidon: is there a drees code...... soething we can use to identify ourselfes as relayers...... i see that both of you are wearing red
(06/04 21:29:37) Vortmax: Mystified!
(06/04 21:29:56) Relayer Corps: I will get to your question Pose
(06/04 21:29:59) Mystified: how can you guarantee that someone will be in the right place, or able to get in the city
(06/04 21:30:03) Vortmax: Please PM me with 'question' or use the /askquestion command if you have a question. You'll be added to the queue and called on in turn.
(06/04 21:30:26) Relayer Corps: I am hoping to have enough relayers that we can have rotating shifts in the city.
(06/04 21:30:51) Relayer Corps: I don't think we will need someone in the city all the time. The DRC need to sleep sometime
(06/04 21:31:21) Vortmax: Sudre!
(06/04 21:31:22) Sudre: Will there be a HEAD person so everyone knows who to contact if they find something worth relaying but are not a relayer themselves?
(06/04 21:31:41) Relayer Corps: Yes. Me.
(06/04 21:31:48) Sudre: k
(06/04 21:31:59) Relayer Corps: Or anyone with Relayer infront of there name
(06/04 21:32:15) Relayer Corps: I will also try to get a list up on the imager of people to contact.
(06/04 21:32:24) Vortmax: Whilyam!
(06/04 21:32:26) Whilyam: I'm interested in getting messages relayed to me by the relayers. How would I go about getting on their list?
(06/04 21:32:58) Relayer Corps: All you have to do is sign up, just the the bevins.
(06/04 21:33:31) Relayer Corps: I have even toyed with the idea to have a relayer dedicated to indiviual explorers
(06/04 21:33:44) Whilyam: But how do I sign up?
(06/04 21:33:47) Maid4Life: I think he might be asking how and where to sign up.
(06/04 21:33:58) Relayer Corps: That would cut down on any one relayers buddies list getting too long.
(06/04 21:34:18) Sudre thinks thats a great idea
(06/04 21:34:18) Relayer Corps: How or where?
(06/04 21:34:24) Whilyam: Yeah
(06/04 21:34:29) Relayer Corps: Just let a relayer know for now.
(06/04 21:34:42) Whilyam: Okay. I do. :P
(06/04 21:34:43) Relayer Corps: we are working on a sign up website
(06/04 21:34:56) Relayer Corps: lol. let me know after the meeting please.
(06/04 21:35:02) Whilyam: Okay.
(06/04 21:35:04) Vortmax: Ti'chelle!
(06/04 21:35:07) Ti'chelle: Will we have a forum? A place for the shift lists, info ,etc. And should we create an explorer with Relayer name?
(06/04 21:35:45) Relayer Corps: That is something we are working on right now. The Relayer explorer is optional, but encouraged.
(06/04 21:36:08) Vortmax: Poseidon!
(06/04 21:36:12) Poseidon: previous question..... about the drees code, is there one?
(06/04 21:36:15) Relayer Corps: lol
(06/04 21:36:24) Relayer Corps: I remember the question
(06/04 21:36:28) Relayer Bugsy likes white
(06/04 21:36:32) Vortmax: I just felt like wearing red today. But that's just me.
(06/04 21:37:06) Relayer Corps: That fact that we are both dressed in red was a coincidence. But I think it's a good idea. It would make it easier for us to be identified
(06/04 21:37:14) Poseidon: so thats a maybe.... but nothing is solid yet
(06/04 21:37:33) Vortmax: Please PM me with 'question' or use the /askquestion command if you have a question. You'll be added to the queue and called on in turn.
(06/04 21:37:52) Dichromus hopes they don't choose pink
(06/04 21:37:57) Relayer Corps: I need to see how many people want to join and get a concensis. I may be the head, but there are many voices.
(06/04 21:37:58) Poseidon starts to laugh
(06/04 21:38:03) Relayer Bugsy hopes not pink too
(06/04 21:38:07) Relayer Corps: No, not pink
(06/04 21:38:12) Relayer Corps: red is much better
(06/04 21:38:15) Relayer Corps nods her head
(06/04 21:38:17) Thend nods his head
(06/04 21:38:18) Dudemom_2000 nods her head
(06/04 21:38:24) Vortmax: Maid4Life
(06/04 21:38:26) Maid4Life: Along the lines of Ti'chelle's question, how do we get the relayer added to our name if we don't join the bevin? If not necessary to have the prefix Relayer, how will people recognize us as a Relayer? Oh, and you could ask Cyan for t-shirts like the greeters have.
(06/04 21:38:45) Relayer Bugsy raises hand to join the Relayers
(06/04 21:38:53) Relayer Corps: Let me answer this in reverse order.
(06/04 21:39:09) Relayer Corps: Cyan, haven't talk to, but when I do, I will ask.
(06/04 21:39:49) Relayer Corps: Suggestion of wear red would negate the need for Relayer in the name and make it easier to be recognized.
(06/04 21:40:20) Relayer Corps: And if Relayer isn't in your name already, you would have to creat a new explorer with Relayer in the name.
(06/04 21:40:31) Relayer Corps: Did I answer everything?
(06/04 21:40:37) Maid4Life: Yes, thank you.
(06/04 21:40:42) Vortmax: Any other questions?
(06/04 21:40:44) Relayer Corps: next?
(06/04 21:40:51) Relayer Corps: Are we done?
(06/04 21:41:04) Vortmax: Anyone? Anyone?
(06/04 21:41:05) Jinanin holds up the YOU DID A GOOD JOB banner
(06/04 21:41:09) Dr James Donovan: lol
(06/04 21:41:10) Poseidon: where do we sign up... lol
(06/04 21:41:11) Relayer Corps roars with laughter
(06/04 21:41:11) Erandel: I just want to mention About shifts, from the two years of greeters exprience that I have, signed up shifts tend to work better. Plus the opportunity for floaters to step in.
(06/04 21:41:11) Ti'chelle: I have one more
(06/04 21:41:12) Dudemom_2000 claps her hands
(06/04 21:41:12) Maid4Life thinks you have a geat idea Ly'net
(06/04 21:41:20) [Relayer] Ai'ron claps his hands
(06/04 21:41:24) Sudre: now we just need for someone to add everyone here to their buddies list and see if this works.
(06/04 21:41:27) Relayer Bugsy claps her hands
(06/04 21:41:28) Relayer Corps: Erandel, are you signing up?
(06/04 21:41:28) Thend claps his hands
(06/04 21:41:39) peni: thanks for doing this Relayer, i know it has been a lot of work for you.
(06/04 21:41:40) Vortmax: Well, if that's all, thanks to Ly'net for talking to us tonight about the Relayer Corps, and thanks to all of you for showing up!
(06/04 21:41:45) Relayer Corps: I could use your experience
(06/04 21:41:52) Relayer Corps: Ti'chelle?
(06/04 21:41:54) Dr James Donovan claps his hands
(06/04 21:41:58) Relayer Corps: Did you have a question?
(06/04 21:42:00) Vortmax: Oh sorry, Ti'chelle?
(06/04 21:42:04) Maid4Life claps her hands
(06/04 21:42:14) Whilyam claps his hands
