Zane@zanethesage: Okey, meeting is called to order.
Zane@zanethesage: Roll call!
Zane@zanethesage: Ten, can you speak, I'm trying to heat dinner and fix a buddie's computer.
T'Rena@avatararya: Back
Ten@Farmer42: So. We're winding up to the end of our most recent arc.
Ten@Farmer42: We've suffered some setbacks the past week or so, but we should be back on track.
Ten@Farmer42: Uh. Zane continues to cause chaos and mistells.
Ten@Farmer42: I think that about sums up us.
Ten@Farmer42: I'd have more, but I found out I was doing this when Zane told you I was doing this. Next victim.
Zane@zanethesage: ACI?
Three@Voyager316: Ok, I've personally been away mostly for the holidays and I assume some of our members were as well. Over-arcing rp hasn't ramped up in a bit but I am working on a story to bring ACI back to its
Three@Voyager316: sciency roots.
Three@Voyager316: Other than that, look forward to the holiday season.
Zane@zanethesage: Okey, 37th.
Michael@bigshady575: From what I know we are finally getting our departments together. Brian would likely have more details
Michael@bigshady575: Otherwise we are continuing our recruitment drive and have had some additions to the ranks
Zane@zanethesage: Nice, that all?
Michael@bigshady575: brian was posting stuff but I think it went to the wrong channel
brian@raynos3497: oops wrong channel sorry charles has started our mirror invasion and we plan on inflirtrating the mirror world and we still have the wedding for our two new members michael is now head of engineering
brian@raynos3497: and decker is helping with interviews charles is looking into foundry based rp missions michael anything to add
Michael@bigshady575: we still have the wedding of Kal Kitrick and C'Raw coming up. I think that's about it
brian@raynos3497: thats all from us
Zane@zanethesage: Alright, 5th?
Zane@zanethesage: *looks around*
Zane@zanethesage: Okey, uh, 26th?
Sindari@khaoskrow: *crickets*
Zane@zanethesage: ...where the heck is everyone?
brian@raynos3497: drops a pin
Sindari@khaoskrow: 26th has been kinda... absent of late.
T'Sar@pqtaggart13: I think the 26th are at their OWN Fleet Research base.
Sindari@khaoskrow: My friend in there has been talking to me about it a bit.
Zane@zanethesage: Sorta.
Zane@zanethesage: They've got some stuff going on if I remember correctly
Sindari@khaoskrow: 8 of them online, 5 on their starbase.
Zane@zanethesage: Anywya, there's not anything we need to vote on tonight, so it's not like a life-threatening emergency.
Zane@zanethesage: Lol quick, what major game series released today?
Tiana@vitas33: Just cause 3
brian@raynos3497: nothing that i know of
Sindari@khaoskrow: Their attendance has been down since the Stargate plot, I'm told.
Zane@zanethesage: ^
T'Sar@pqtaggart13: Maybe they're still on Fallout.
Zane@zanethesage: Probs
Zane@zanethesage: Oohh, here's Qul.
Sindari@khaoskrow: Eyyy they're not all dead!
Zane@zanethesage: Qul, what's been going on at the 26th? It's been quiet as of late.
Qul@meslamtea: Some new anomaly labled FO4
Zane@zanethesage: T'Sar, called it
T'Sar@pqtaggart13: Called it.
Zane@zanethesage: JINX!
Zane@zanethesage:
Qul@meslamtea: Gah.
T'Sar@pqtaggart13: 123456
Zane@zanethesage: lol
T'Sar@pqtaggart13: You owe me a coke!
Zane@zanethesage: What else has been going on, Qul?
Qul@meslamtea sits in a chair.
Qul@meslamtea: The usual profit and debits
Qul@meslamtea: Mostly profits. Why? I have lobes baby
Zane@zanethesage: Heard there's a Stargate plot going on or something.
Qul@meslamtea: There was something about that although I don't know details
Qul@meslamtea: I am just "happy" the foundry is back
Zane@zanethesage: Heard dat
Zane@zanethesage: Alright. So then, uh, Storytellers now.
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: Thank you. It's been a busy two weeks for us. We kicked off our big event, the Terran Occupation of our Starbase system.
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: The 146th fleet is now currently stationed on DS9, so we should be more visible.
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: Our RP ships are largely wrapped up for the year. We'll be resuming in 2016 and there is some interest with the GMs in opening the ships to Armada membership.
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: We're going to be having a meeting this Thursday at 7 pm EST in DS9 ops to discuss our next moves in the Terran plot.
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: And as for what the Terrans are up to, I'll throw that to Tiana.
Tiana@vitas33: Should be made clear that the meeting is IC to plan tactics for dealing with the Terran invasion
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: Right, thank you.
Zane@zanethesage: Right on. So, reports.
Zane@zanethesage: I do have a report
Zane@zanethesage: *ahem*
Zane@zanethesage: People, You don't have to sit across from me! It makes me feel unapproachable. >_>
Zane@zanethesage: Also, (lol) we had the podcast with P1 last week.
Zane@zanethesage: I sounded nervous as snot. >_<
Qul@meslamtea: You clearly need a [Outfit Box - Swimwear, Female - String Bikini] from QUAC to boost your self esteem
Qul@meslamtea: Sorry. Habit.
T'Sar@pqtaggart13: I certainly do. Tell me more.
Zane@zanethesage: Sweet, I'll put that on one of my other cahracters.
Zane@zanethesage: LOL
John Maxwell@stogiercloth59: Qul, you have my attention.
Zane@zanethesage: Lol guies *bangs digital gavel*
Qul@meslamtea: You model it and you will have mine
Qul@meslamtea: Wait....
T'Sar@pqtaggart13: Done!
Qul@meslamtea: Such tiny lobes... ewwww
Zane@zanethesage: Anyhoes, I don't thik I have anything else.
T'Sar@pqtaggart13: Ladies and gentlemen, a moment of privacy for Captain Maxwell as he changes.
Varzec@deffdog: we seeing any fruit come from the podcast?
Zane@zanethesage: Quiet from the peanut gallery.
Zane@zanethesage: Nothing right now, but we need to take another swing at the GB stuff.
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: ^
Zane@zanethesage: Okay, It's largely free for all now. But maintain procedure.
Varzec@deffdog: You missed Zakaria
Zane@zanethesage: Zak has the floor. Something new tonight, type -=- when you yield.
Three@Voyager316: noted
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: As a follow up to Varzec's question, I did reach out to P1 about more RP discussions. They are interested, but they right now their guest schedule is booked, but they are intersted and we have+
Zane@zanethesage: (or are done speaking for those less informed with parlimentary procedure)
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: +started dialoging.
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: And I said interested twice.
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: /yeild
Zane@zanethesage: Nice, keep me posted on that
Zane@zanethesage: do -=-, so that way the chat doesn't think you're trying to do a command. OR something.
Varzec@deffdog: ^
Zane@zanethesage: V
Varzec@deffdog: Just to get people up to date on the Newsletter, were currently stalled on the need for a publication designer, Loiren got with me and mentioned that he will not be able to help me with that
Varzec@deffdog: hes just too busy.
Varzec@deffdog: So anyone here or know a good graphic designer that might be interested in helping us create this document?
Qul@meslamtea: Not one who is free I am afraid
Varzec@deffdog: Well fair enough, if you cou.d ask your fleets it be appreciated.
John Maxwell@stogiercloth59: I may have a guy I can get in touch with, but he's been away for a while due to college. I'll see if I can nab him next time he's online.
Varzec@deffdog: And for anyone knew here we are wanting to create a newsletter for the armada so that we can keep up to date with sotries from each fleet rather then having to try and keep up with multiple websites
Varzec@deffdog: but we want it nice so it can be used as a recruitment tool
Varzec@deffdog: The topic of the first issue is where everyone is at with the end of the iconian war.
Varzec@deffdog: -+-
Zane@zanethesage: That works.
Varzec@deffdog: ugg
Varzec@deffdog: -=-
Zane@zanethesage: I'll figure out a slightly better yield sign later.
Zane@zanethesage: ANyone else?
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: ^
Zane@zanethesage: Zak
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: Just cause I'm new to this, if this isn't the time let me know, but I wanted to bring up the RP channel.
Zane@zanethesage: Go ahead.
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: So, I'll have the system on the forum, but I would like to see if there would be interest in an Armada wide RP channel. This would allow us to work over multiple ships and settings in massive RP+
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: +events.
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: The Storytellers use a system similar to the one we are proposing for our RP ships and for our large scale events.
Zane@zanethesage: Zak's had a lot of experience with large scale events so he's got the ball on this one yall. Shoot him questions and all that.
Three@Voyager316: ^
Zane@zanethesage: Three
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: I'll have something on the forums to better explain.
Sindari@khaoskrow: It's a very effective system, as it lets the GM coordinate better using XMPP.
Qul@meslamtea: (short AFK)
Three@Voyager316: How would use of the channel be handled? Say two or three fleets are utilizing it for a group rp and two other fleets wanted to use it for a separate event.
Zane@zanethesage: Nerdie points to Sindari for correct terminology!
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: There would have to be a scheduling system. Ideally, this would be for only Armada wide events and fleets would use their own systems.
Zane@zanethesage: There's a lot of questioning to Cryptic as to why the Armadas system seems to lack things taht would be expected.
Zane@zanethesage: Like a calendar.
Zane@zanethesage: Or the ability to change teh Armada name...>_>
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: Well, it's not like we don't have a calendar on our forums and fleets.
Three@Voyager316: In the meantime we could utilize the STAR site for scheduling RP channel usage.
Three@Voyager316: -=-
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: Exactly.
Sindari@khaoskrow: Can I traide in nerdie points for a cash prize? >.>
Zane@zanethesage: Maybe.
Sindari@khaoskrow: ...that's not a word. Huh.
Zane@zanethesage: XMPP is a acronym
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: Storytellers rule for the use of our RP channels is don't use them during scheduled events... Otherwise, first come first serve.
Sonak@cogitation#5681: I have only been recently assigned to a fleet attached to this armada. What is the purpose of this meeting?
Sindari@khaoskrow: "traide" isn't.
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: Again... I'll have the system up on the forum... It's not complicated, but it can look that way, so feel free to ask questions.
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: -=-
Sonak@cogitation#5681: I just asked a question.
Sonak@cogitation#5681: I have only been recently assigned to a fleet attached to this armada. What is the purpose of this meeting?
Zane@zanethesage: It's a weekly meeting for the Armada, Sonak. You don't have to be here if you don't wanna be.
Zane@zanethesage: We have the meetings to conduct operational stuff.
Ten@Farmer42: Also, not in character.
Kyle Shran@PvtFromPA: I'm just here for the popcorn
Three@Voyager316: I'm just here so I don't get fined.
Sonak@cogitation#5681: No complaint was intended. I was curious.
Kevin@Sonusem: They give you popcorn?
Zane@zanethesage: It's cool.
Kevin@Sonusem: Three, dude. You just gave me a free pizza stamp card. That's not cool, dude.
Kyle Shran@PvtFromPA: Trust perk #23. Free popcorn for all members
Varzec@deffdog: Im heading out guys if you have any ?son the newsletter hit me up later
Sindari@khaoskrow: I'm just here cause I'm bored and wanted to feel included. T_T
Zane@zanethesage: SHHHH KYLE
Zane@zanethesage: We wuv you fow coming Sindari
Zane@zanethesage: :3
Kevin@Sonusem: I come because the last couple meetings it's only been Three and I from the fleet.
Kevin@Sonusem: But they are good meetings.
Zane@zanethesage: Okay, anything else frome yall?
T'Sar@pqtaggart13: I am totally making a Christmas elf costume.
Kyle Shran@PvtFromPA: what? its not like i told them about the booze cabinet on the starbase or anything
Sonak@cogitation#5681 yawns at Kevin.
brian@raynos3497: i really dont have anything guess theres no voting tonight
Sonak@cogitation#5681: What issues tend to face this council?
Zane@zanethesage: Not really, kind of had a rough Thanksgiving.
Zane@zanethesage: And by rough I mean "please end this miserable week of my existance".
Three@Voyager316: Ok, I need to be heading out now. Night guys
Zane@zanethesage: Yeah, We're dismissed all.
Kyle Shran@PvtFromPA: nighty night
Michael@bigshady575: try working in retail
Kyle Shran@PvtFromPA: Zane you keep being all sad I'm pouring myself some Gin
Sindari@khaoskrow: I think RP channels are all well and good, but why do armadas never want to make a Cross fleet OOC?
Zane@zanethesage: Hmm?
Sindari@khaoskrow: It's weird. None of the ones I talked to seem interested.
Tiana@vitas33: There already is one. It's called Armada
Kyle Shran@PvtFromPA: Dont we have that with the Armada freq?
Sindari@khaoskrow: Armada can't be accessed unless you're on a toon in it and it can't be opened on XMPP.
Kyle Shran@PvtFromPA: or are you talking inter-armada?
brian@raynos3497: and sonak ill answer in fleet chat
Zane@zanethesage: We did, nobody used it.
Zane@zanethesage: I think more people shut it off than anything.
Zane@zanethesage: I mean if you wanna use something like that, there's STAR Public
Zane@zanethesage: But I get what you're asking now Sindari.
Sindari@khaoskrow: Is the whole STAR armada channel active at all?
Zane@zanethesage: Yup! Pretty regularly now.
Sindari@khaoskrow: I'm never on a toon in the Storytellers these days, so I wouldn't know. >.<
Zane@zanethesage: XD
Zane@zanethesage: Yeah I see you're in Argo
Zane@zanethesage: I asked them if they wanted to join, I got a cold shoulder
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: Its as bout as active as our OOC channel... We have lots of Channels guys...
Sindari@khaoskrow: Yep. Put my main, Sindari, in there.
Sindari@khaoskrow: Argo is in one with the ZEF.
Zane@zanethesage: Yeah, got cold shoulder from them too.
Zane@zanethesage: Actually I take that back
Sindari@khaoskrow: I would have been all for joining STAR, but the feeling I got was kinda meh.
Sindari@khaoskrow: A lot of people see the 26th in there and kinda shy away TBH.
Sindari@khaoskrow: Least, that's the impression I got.
Zane@zanethesage: Some ZEF people are openly hostile to me, so IDK what I did.
Kyle Shran@PvtFromPA: random Armada noob question. On the armada page the different fleets look broken down. is there a hierarchy or anything?
Zane@zanethesage: Not really.
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: Nope.
Sindari@khaoskrow: They're SUPER isolated... Argo did one or two events with them, then nothing.
Zane@zanethesage: That's what I heard
Sindari@khaoskrow: I see ZEF people online a lot, but the Armada channel is silent and you NEVER see them outside their Starbase.
Zane@zanethesage: I talked to them about some of the game stuff, and I found out they all ignored me.
Sindari@khaoskrow: RPers never want to talk game stuff. T_T
Zane@zanethesage: It's wierd.
Zane@zanethesage: I mean, I do, it's a happy medium.
Zane@zanethesage: Ten showed me the light of DPS-10k recently so.
Sindari@khaoskrow: I keep trying to get Argo to talk builds or fill queues. But nooope. Silence.
Zane@zanethesage: Now I can blaze through new alts and get them to 50
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: On the note on the forum pages, last I checked the Storytellers forum was not grouped with the rest...
Zane@zanethesage: I...heard reasons as to why that were.
Zane@zanethesage: It's not?
Zane@zanethesage: *grumbles and goes back to fix it, cursing self*
brian@raynos3497: sounds like you need to members that will speak
Kevin@Sonusem: mmm. dps builds.
Sindari@khaoskrow: Well. Let's be honest, most RPers don't play STO for the gameplay. So. My job can be agonizing.
Zane@zanethesage: I mean I kinda do.
Zane@zanethesage: I guess I'm wierd.
Sindari@khaoskrow: Good!
Kyle Shran@PvtFromPA: I just dont PvP. never got into it
T'Sar@pqtaggart13: I love the gameplay! ... It's just way beyond me. If I don't blow up or die, I figure I'm doing something right.
Zane@zanethesage: ERe we go
Kevin@Sonusem: Gameplay's easy.
Kevin@Sonusem: Starts on the 2nd.
Raines@o0mpgregor0o: it took me forever to find the right ship to rp in for me
Sindari@khaoskrow: I'm one of the weird people that still PvP sometimes. Helps with the tutoring.
Kyle Shran@PvtFromPA: i decided to be diff and RP with a tier 2
Raines@o0mpgregor0o: i was going to ask you after the meeting about some pvp tutoring
Kevin@Sonusem: Man
Zane@zanethesage: Zak, fixed
Kevin@Sonusem: 3rd? Hmm.
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: Thanks.
brian@raynos3497: since the meeting is over im heading out
Sindari@khaoskrow: If you ever need help, I've been a PvE/PvP tutor in Storytellers for... what, a couple years now?
Zane@zanethesage: Sind, you should come more often.
Sindari@khaoskrow: I would!
Sindari@khaoskrow: Buuut I can't see the cross-fleet.
Zane@zanethesage: Eugh. I've thought about having a meeting channel
Sindari@khaoskrow: And all my RP is with Argo at the moment.
Zane@zanethesage: But i'd have to invite people to and manage it
Zane@zanethesage: And that's a pain in the rear for something like that
Kyle Shran@PvtFromPA: do we have an Armada RP coming??
Sindari@khaoskrow: I've been pushing for a cross-fleet OOC for ages. No one I've talked to wants to be involved though.
Kevin@Sonusem: So.
Sindari@khaoskrow: But everyone uses STORP.ORG channel. So I don't get it.
Zane@zanethesage: That channel still has people in it?
T'Sar@pqtaggart13: All the time! I have to shut it off sometimes. It's like Zone chat.
brian@raynos3497: i dont see why argo cant come join our armada
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: @kyle, I'm working on a few things for an Armada RP. I would like to try and have something before Christmas, but that may be a tall order.
Sindari@khaoskrow: Pretty active. But it's open. So anyone can get in.
Zane@zanethesage: They don't want to. I asked, got a really cold shoulder.
Kevin@Sonusem: You guys keep talking about doing big stories and such, but is there just light RP at all?
Kevin@Sonusem: I mean, stories are cool, but not all the time.
Kyle Shran@PvtFromPA: if they dont want to and their rude like that forget em
Sindari@khaoskrow: I can ask them, if you'd like. Maybe see why they said no.
T'Sar@pqtaggart13: I am all about the light RP.
Zane@zanethesage: We actually do have a STA-RP night set up, but it never took of
Zane@zanethesage: It's Thursdays at 8
Kyle Shran@PvtFromPA: YOUR THURSDAYS AT 8 ZANE
Zane@zanethesage: But nobody's really done anything for it, so if you guys wanna get together, and make that thing a thing again
Zane@zanethesage: *throws a tribble at Kyle*
Zane@zanethesage: MERRY CHRISTMAS YOU HOCKEY PUCK
Kevin@Sonusem: The problem I seem to have with doing rp is that there's not a set place it goes on.
Kyle Shran@PvtFromPA: *throws a klingon at Zane*
Kevin@Sonusem: Makes it difficult to get into it.
brian@raynos3497: alrighty good night all
Kyle Shran@PvtFromPA: bye bye
Kevin@Sonusem: And fleet starbases are invite only outside of fleets, so that's not really a good idea for casual stuff.
Kevin@Sonusem: Night night.
Zane@zanethesage: Hrm, you've got my gears turning Kevin.
T'Sar@pqtaggart13: Ask on Armada if anyone wants to play. Find a place to meet. :]
Zane@zanethesage: GUH! I GOT IT!
Zane@zanethesage: K7.
Qul@meslamtea: Also social zones are trolled or DS9 #1 fills up quick
Kevin@Sonusem: Yeah, but I was thinking more like setting a place where we all go for social rp.
Sindari@khaoskrow: Dammit, I wish I could see Armada channel. T_T
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: Well, just the way the scheduling falls, but we do have a thing this Thursday in DS9 Ops at 7 EST... IC meeting. It is part of our plot, but interested folks are welcomed to sit in.
Zane@zanethesage: Which is why I suggested K7.
T'Sar@pqtaggart13: That's a good one Zane!
Zane@zanethesage: K7 is hardly used, we can do something there.
Zane@zanethesage: A low-usage public map.
T'Sar@pqtaggart13: My ship goes there, like, for free.
Zane@zanethesage: Exactly.
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: Or the one in Romulan space... It's prettier IMO.
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: Or Bajor.
Kevin@Sonusem: Think I've only been to K7 twice for those missions.
Zane@zanethesage: I thought about Hathon
Kyle Shran@PvtFromPA: that.
Kyle Shran@PvtFromPA: Drozana has quieted down as well i think
Zane@zanethesage: Drozana is cursed ground still.
T'Sar@pqtaggart13: Actually Hathon is purty. Too bad we can't go to Mirror Hathon. That joint is bumpin'.
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: The sheer fact Hathon has a Klingon Bar gives it my vote.
Raines@o0mpgregor0o: ds9 was a ghost town earlier
Kevin@Sonusem: Regular Risa might be good now that everyone ignores it for Summer Risa.
Qul@meslamtea: Drozana still has its trolls
Sindari@khaoskrow: So?
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: Summer Risa is good too.
Sindari@khaoskrow: Trolls are easily ignored.
Sindari@khaoskrow: And sometimes, even rather helpful.
Kyle Shran@PvtFromPA: wish there was some infrastructer on Andoria
Sindari@khaoskrow: Had Nabreeki do us all a public service in Quarks the other day. Was nice.
Zane@zanethesage: While I agree with you Sin, The sheer presence of people feeds the trolls, even the presence of trolls.
Qul@meslamtea: K7 sounds awesome though
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: That is one thing I'm trying to push: Ignore the trolls... get out there.
Kyle Shran@PvtFromPA: i like K7
Sindari@khaoskrow: Co-exist.
Zane@zanethesage: Push man push.
Kyle Shran@PvtFromPA: also, ESD seems to be quiet in the social areas
Sindari@khaoskrow: Grab a [Subspace Party Nullifier] and move on.
Zane@zanethesage: I ws JUST About to suggest that
Zane@zanethesage: ESD Club 47
Kevin@Sonusem: Club 47 is usually abandoned.
Zane@zanethesage: Which is perfect
Kevin@Sonusem: The upper tresses where the memorial plaque is also.
Kyle Shran@PvtFromPA: YES
Sindari@khaoskrow: Welp. I got an answer as to why Argo didn't join STAR.
Zane@zanethesage: AND I think I can run interference while we're there.
Kyle Shran@PvtFromPA: and STA
Zane@zanethesage: Oohh, do share
Qul@meslamtea: Would it be too much of a pain to have a rotating RP? ESD one thurs, then K7 etc?
Zane@zanethesage: We can try it
Sindari@khaoskrow: I'll paste it.
Zane@zanethesage: I'm open to any and all ideas.
Sindari@khaoskrow: Not all RP fleets are going to be on the same page, about any number of things. We did discuss it, and we decided that joining that particular armada wasn't +
Sindari@khaoskrow: the direction that we wanted for Argo.
Sindari@khaoskrow:
Zane@zanethesage: ...Wow, I might have said no just from the bushbeating.
Zane@zanethesage: That's not even cold
Zane@zanethesage: Jeesh
Zane@zanethesage: *kicks stone* Try to be a nice guy...
T'Sar@pqtaggart13: What direction does Argo want?
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: I would like to point out that DS9, Hathon, Drozana, and Risa are the only onese we can bring our Klink side friends too.
Zane@zanethesage: Eugh, good point.
Kevin@Sonusem: Sounds like they want to do things specifically their way to me.
Zane@zanethesage: Heh, Sin, we're still here, so.
Zane@zanethesage: We're agreed this long. XP
Sindari@khaoskrow: I'm betting it was a case of them not liking the smell of one of the fleets.
Zane@zanethesage: Probable. We had discussions about that in private.
Kevin@Sonusem: Or they are paranoid people will leave for other fleets in the armada.
Sindari@khaoskrow: One person PMed me and said because of Storytellers when I asked. I know a couple others are 26th refugees who were kicked. Sooo...
Sindari@khaoskrow: Who knows.
Kevin@Sonusem: Ah well.
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: We're two weeks new into this Armada!
T'Sar@pqtaggart13: They must be our rivals.
Sindari@khaoskrow: A shame. I can't help but look at all this activity and drool.
Zane@zanethesage: *shrugs* People are big asses sometimes. I guess I have more faith in people than I should.
Zane@zanethesage: Oh well~!
Kevin@Sonusem: naw. Always have faith in people.
Sindari@khaoskrow: That, and it only takes one or two bad experiences with individuals to color an opinion of a whole fleet.
Kevin@Sonusem: They will let you down, but the alternative is reeeaaaaal bad.
T'Sar@pqtaggart13: They will be our enemy fleet. We will have RP wars.
Zane@zanethesage: Yeah, took me long enough to rise above some of thsoe experiences
Zane@zanethesage: I still update TFA's little Google Doc thing too.
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: Hey, I nearly didn't join the Tellers way back in the day when we were still STORP because of a bad experience with an ex-member.
Sindari@khaoskrow: I'll try to join in on some STAR RP, but... I'll have to use the forums if I can't access the Armada channel on my main RP toons.
Zane@zanethesage: You can use Public, Sin
T'Sar@pqtaggart13: Will someone ask Sindari if she wants to join us already, GAWD.
Sindari@khaoskrow: I'm a member of Storytellers already.
T'Sar@pqtaggart13: Oh, right. >_>
Zane@zanethesage: Suprisingly, STAR is the second biggest RP armada
Zane@zanethesage: Because UST is ENORMOUS.
Sindari@khaoskrow: One of their Mentors. Tutor/Recruitment officer. I just moved almost all my main RP toons out of it.
Zane@zanethesage: I'm actually suprised nobody from UST has tried to talk to me
Zane@zanethesage: Yall know ID4, and hte alien mothership situating over the white house?
T'Sar@pqtaggart13: They're scared of having so many people it turns into chaos.
Zane@zanethesage: That's kinda what it feels like
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: You know, IMO, I belive Fleet Starbases did more to hurt the STO RP community than any party bomb did. I'm hoping we can be the Armada to bring back quality public RP.
Kyle Shran@PvtFromPA: I agree
Zane@zanethesage: Right now, I've got people that are really wanting to put an effort in talking to one another. So we're getting somewhere. ^~^
Kyle Shran@PvtFromPA: i enjoyed the days when we as a fleet could go to ds9 and interact wth other fleets
Sindari@khaoskrow: It's more of a case of filtering.
Qul@meslamtea: Public social maps offer better RP than starbases
Zane@zanethesage: Yeah
Sindari@khaoskrow: In Quarks, you get Augments, ERP, 18 year old fleet admirals with elemental powers who nailed Q. On a fleet holding, you can do quality control better.
Sindari@khaoskrow: But it's a double edged sword, since that tends to stagnate.
Qul@meslamtea: Yep
Zane@zanethesage: So take this to yalls fleet guys, I'm putting out the APB.
Zane@zanethesage: I want ideas for a public, regular, RP event that we can announce to the STO community
Kevin@Sonusem: We should have a casual winter wonderland rp going on.
Zane@zanethesage: So that way we can reach out to the powers that be to try and hit more people.
Zane@zanethesage: YES! We can make STA-RP in the wonderland a regular thing.
Zane@zanethesage: Q "rewarding" us for beating the Iconians. Or something.
Kevin@Sonusem: Snowman of Borg.
Kyle Shran@PvtFromPA: just a random idea off the top of my head... inter fleet discussions in Quinns office on ESD followed by social in 47
Kyle Shran@PvtFromPA: OOC then IC
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: You have ours... And I'm making an effort to tell stories that are fleet, armada, and community wide.
Kevin@Sonusem: Well, why are you running aux cannons on a vesta?
Sindari@khaoskrow: Oh hey, what IS your various fleet's policy on the Wonderland?
Zane@zanethesage: You've got the experience Zak, we can all learn from you.
Sindari@khaoskrow: Mass holodeck program? Where they're all linked like a VR MMO?
Zane@zanethesage: No not at- wait a minute....
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: Kyle, there's a nice conference room under Quinn's office... that way we won't take up space in the office itself... but we'll still be heard, especially by newbs.
Zane@zanethesage: *meta detector beeps*
Zane@zanethesage:
Sindari@khaoskrow: So you and your friends can chat with holographic avatars of people across the galaxy on another Starbase?
Zane@zanethesage: Anyway, we used to have a policy on it, but I axed it.
Zane@zanethesage: So now it's Q just kind of teleports people there
Kevin@Sonusem: I have no idea what our fleets stance on the wonderland is. I'm pretty sure I'm the only one on.
Zane@zanethesage: But now I can say Q basically paused the entire universe (or something along those lines) and put everyone in the wonderland
Zane@zanethesage: Or he "rewarded" the universe for beating the Iconians
Zane@zanethesage: Bla bla bla, et cetera, et cetera, we used to have wierd rules about it. *waves hand around*
Kyle Shran@PvtFromPA: being heard wouldnt be a problem with a special channel
Zane@zanethesage: STAR public.
Zane@zanethesage: Also, tell others they should join STAR Public.
Zane@zanethesage: Otherwise I start going down fleet lists.
Sindari@khaoskrow: I avoid Q stuff, generally. People get silly with it.
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: My personal opinion is... It's not that important.
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: Just RP and enjoy the snow.
Zane@zanethesage: *shrugs* Yeah, but people like the wonderland, so I put down a generic reason now that I could
Kevin@Sonusem: I hope they leave it open like they did the summer area.
Zane@zanethesage: They don't
Zane@zanethesage: Which is sad
Zane@zanethesage: Cause they could make something of it
Sindari@khaoskrow: Ima stack ALL the runspeed buffs!
Kevin@Sonusem: Well they didn't used to leave the summer area open, either, but they did this year. So. Maybe we'll get lucky.
Zane@zanethesage: They did since its inception
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: For the life of me, I will never understand why they don't do it on the unused Andoria map.
Zane@zanethesage: Since it was so popular
Sindari@khaoskrow: I hope they move it to Andoria and pimp out that HUGE map.
Zane@zanethesage: YES
Qul@meslamtea: Amen
Zane@zanethesage: But it's cause Andoria's old code is Federation specific
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: So was Risa's.
Zane@zanethesage: It's actually REALLY hard to make a map multi-faction
Zane@zanethesage: From what I can read in the source code
Tiana@vitas33: You would think it's just a couple of flags
Zane@zanethesage: No, there's a lot of very ugly stuff you gotta do.
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: Yep.
Kevin@Sonusem: so I asked the senior members who are actually on.
Kevin@Sonusem: And our stance is that it's usually OOC but feel free to be IC.
Zane@zanethesage: Purdy much ours too.
Kevin@Sonusem: The wonderland, I mean.
Zane@zanethesage: ANyhoes, I got somewhere to be. I'll be Out of game for 15 minutes but if peeps wanna talk to me after I'll be on Pidgin.
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: I think Armada-wide, the stance should be "let people have their stance and don't bother about it."
Zane@zanethesage: Yup
Kevin@Sonusem: Yeah.
Kyle Shran@PvtFromPA: hooah
Zane@zanethesage: I mean that's a fleet thing, I can't enforce anything on that by design.
Kevin@Sonusem: I have to get going also. A friend is waiting to give me some stuff to gear my new baby klingon Talaxian.
Zane@zanethesage: Cyall later!
Kevin@Sonusem: Full Mark 2 purples, woo!
Kyle Shran@PvtFromPA: this was really educational. thanks!
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: Hell, Q vs. Holodeck MMO both explain the crazy of the other.
Zane@zanethesage: Roll call!
Zane@zanethesage: Ten, can you speak, I'm trying to heat dinner and fix a buddie's computer.
T'Rena@avatararya: Back
Ten@Farmer42: So. We're winding up to the end of our most recent arc.
Ten@Farmer42: We've suffered some setbacks the past week or so, but we should be back on track.
Ten@Farmer42: Uh. Zane continues to cause chaos and mistells.
Ten@Farmer42: I think that about sums up us.
Ten@Farmer42: I'd have more, but I found out I was doing this when Zane told you I was doing this. Next victim.
Zane@zanethesage: ACI?
Three@Voyager316: Ok, I've personally been away mostly for the holidays and I assume some of our members were as well. Over-arcing rp hasn't ramped up in a bit but I am working on a story to bring ACI back to its
Three@Voyager316: sciency roots.
Three@Voyager316: Other than that, look forward to the holiday season.
Zane@zanethesage: Okey, 37th.
Michael@bigshady575: From what I know we are finally getting our departments together. Brian would likely have more details
Michael@bigshady575: Otherwise we are continuing our recruitment drive and have had some additions to the ranks
Zane@zanethesage: Nice, that all?
Michael@bigshady575: brian was posting stuff but I think it went to the wrong channel
brian@raynos3497: oops wrong channel sorry charles has started our mirror invasion and we plan on inflirtrating the mirror world and we still have the wedding for our two new members michael is now head of engineering
brian@raynos3497: and decker is helping with interviews charles is looking into foundry based rp missions michael anything to add
Michael@bigshady575: we still have the wedding of Kal Kitrick and C'Raw coming up. I think that's about it
brian@raynos3497: thats all from us
Zane@zanethesage: Alright, 5th?
Zane@zanethesage: *looks around*
Zane@zanethesage: Okey, uh, 26th?
Sindari@khaoskrow: *crickets*
Zane@zanethesage: ...where the heck is everyone?
brian@raynos3497: drops a pin
Sindari@khaoskrow: 26th has been kinda... absent of late.
T'Sar@pqtaggart13: I think the 26th are at their OWN Fleet Research base.
Sindari@khaoskrow: My friend in there has been talking to me about it a bit.
Zane@zanethesage: Sorta.
Zane@zanethesage: They've got some stuff going on if I remember correctly
Sindari@khaoskrow: 8 of them online, 5 on their starbase.
Zane@zanethesage: Anywya, there's not anything we need to vote on tonight, so it's not like a life-threatening emergency.
Zane@zanethesage: Lol quick, what major game series released today?
Tiana@vitas33: Just cause 3
brian@raynos3497: nothing that i know of
Sindari@khaoskrow: Their attendance has been down since the Stargate plot, I'm told.
Zane@zanethesage: ^
T'Sar@pqtaggart13: Maybe they're still on Fallout.
Zane@zanethesage: Probs
Zane@zanethesage: Oohh, here's Qul.
Sindari@khaoskrow: Eyyy they're not all dead!
Zane@zanethesage: Qul, what's been going on at the 26th? It's been quiet as of late.
Qul@meslamtea: Some new anomaly labled FO4
Zane@zanethesage: T'Sar, called it
T'Sar@pqtaggart13: Called it.
Zane@zanethesage: JINX!
Zane@zanethesage:
Qul@meslamtea: Gah.
T'Sar@pqtaggart13: 123456
Zane@zanethesage: lol
T'Sar@pqtaggart13: You owe me a coke!
Zane@zanethesage: What else has been going on, Qul?
Qul@meslamtea sits in a chair.
Qul@meslamtea: The usual profit and debits
Qul@meslamtea: Mostly profits. Why? I have lobes baby
Zane@zanethesage: Heard there's a Stargate plot going on or something.
Qul@meslamtea: There was something about that although I don't know details
Qul@meslamtea: I am just "happy" the foundry is back
Zane@zanethesage: Heard dat
Zane@zanethesage: Alright. So then, uh, Storytellers now.
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: Thank you. It's been a busy two weeks for us. We kicked off our big event, the Terran Occupation of our Starbase system.
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: The 146th fleet is now currently stationed on DS9, so we should be more visible.
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: Our RP ships are largely wrapped up for the year. We'll be resuming in 2016 and there is some interest with the GMs in opening the ships to Armada membership.
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: We're going to be having a meeting this Thursday at 7 pm EST in DS9 ops to discuss our next moves in the Terran plot.
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: And as for what the Terrans are up to, I'll throw that to Tiana.
Tiana@vitas33: Should be made clear that the meeting is IC to plan tactics for dealing with the Terran invasion
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: Right, thank you.
Zane@zanethesage: Right on. So, reports.
Zane@zanethesage: I do have a report
Zane@zanethesage: *ahem*
Zane@zanethesage: People, You don't have to sit across from me! It makes me feel unapproachable. >_>
Zane@zanethesage: Also, (lol) we had the podcast with P1 last week.
Zane@zanethesage: I sounded nervous as snot. >_<
Qul@meslamtea: You clearly need a [Outfit Box - Swimwear, Female - String Bikini] from QUAC to boost your self esteem
Qul@meslamtea: Sorry. Habit.
T'Sar@pqtaggart13: I certainly do. Tell me more.
Zane@zanethesage: Sweet, I'll put that on one of my other cahracters.
Zane@zanethesage: LOL
John Maxwell@stogiercloth59: Qul, you have my attention.
Zane@zanethesage: Lol guies *bangs digital gavel*
Qul@meslamtea: You model it and you will have mine
Qul@meslamtea: Wait....
T'Sar@pqtaggart13: Done!
Qul@meslamtea: Such tiny lobes... ewwww
Zane@zanethesage: Anyhoes, I don't thik I have anything else.
T'Sar@pqtaggart13: Ladies and gentlemen, a moment of privacy for Captain Maxwell as he changes.
Varzec@deffdog: we seeing any fruit come from the podcast?
Zane@zanethesage: Quiet from the peanut gallery.
Zane@zanethesage: Nothing right now, but we need to take another swing at the GB stuff.
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: ^
Zane@zanethesage: Okay, It's largely free for all now. But maintain procedure.
Varzec@deffdog: You missed Zakaria
Zane@zanethesage: Zak has the floor. Something new tonight, type -=- when you yield.
Three@Voyager316: noted
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: As a follow up to Varzec's question, I did reach out to P1 about more RP discussions. They are interested, but they right now their guest schedule is booked, but they are intersted and we have+
Zane@zanethesage: (or are done speaking for those less informed with parlimentary procedure)
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: +started dialoging.
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: And I said interested twice.
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: /yeild
Zane@zanethesage: Nice, keep me posted on that
Zane@zanethesage: do -=-, so that way the chat doesn't think you're trying to do a command. OR something.
Varzec@deffdog: ^
Zane@zanethesage: V
Varzec@deffdog: Just to get people up to date on the Newsletter, were currently stalled on the need for a publication designer, Loiren got with me and mentioned that he will not be able to help me with that
Varzec@deffdog: hes just too busy.
Varzec@deffdog: So anyone here or know a good graphic designer that might be interested in helping us create this document?
Qul@meslamtea: Not one who is free I am afraid
Varzec@deffdog: Well fair enough, if you cou.d ask your fleets it be appreciated.
John Maxwell@stogiercloth59: I may have a guy I can get in touch with, but he's been away for a while due to college. I'll see if I can nab him next time he's online.
Varzec@deffdog: And for anyone knew here we are wanting to create a newsletter for the armada so that we can keep up to date with sotries from each fleet rather then having to try and keep up with multiple websites
Varzec@deffdog: but we want it nice so it can be used as a recruitment tool
Varzec@deffdog: The topic of the first issue is where everyone is at with the end of the iconian war.
Varzec@deffdog: -+-
Zane@zanethesage: That works.
Varzec@deffdog: ugg
Varzec@deffdog: -=-
Zane@zanethesage: I'll figure out a slightly better yield sign later.
Zane@zanethesage: ANyone else?
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: ^
Zane@zanethesage: Zak
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: Just cause I'm new to this, if this isn't the time let me know, but I wanted to bring up the RP channel.
Zane@zanethesage: Go ahead.
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: So, I'll have the system on the forum, but I would like to see if there would be interest in an Armada wide RP channel. This would allow us to work over multiple ships and settings in massive RP+
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: +events.
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: The Storytellers use a system similar to the one we are proposing for our RP ships and for our large scale events.
Zane@zanethesage: Zak's had a lot of experience with large scale events so he's got the ball on this one yall. Shoot him questions and all that.
Three@Voyager316: ^
Zane@zanethesage: Three
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: I'll have something on the forums to better explain.
Sindari@khaoskrow: It's a very effective system, as it lets the GM coordinate better using XMPP.
Qul@meslamtea: (short AFK)
Three@Voyager316: How would use of the channel be handled? Say two or three fleets are utilizing it for a group rp and two other fleets wanted to use it for a separate event.
Zane@zanethesage: Nerdie points to Sindari for correct terminology!
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: There would have to be a scheduling system. Ideally, this would be for only Armada wide events and fleets would use their own systems.
Zane@zanethesage: There's a lot of questioning to Cryptic as to why the Armadas system seems to lack things taht would be expected.
Zane@zanethesage: Like a calendar.
Zane@zanethesage: Or the ability to change teh Armada name...>_>
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: Well, it's not like we don't have a calendar on our forums and fleets.
Three@Voyager316: In the meantime we could utilize the STAR site for scheduling RP channel usage.
Three@Voyager316: -=-
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: Exactly.
Sindari@khaoskrow: Can I traide in nerdie points for a cash prize? >.>
Zane@zanethesage: Maybe.
Sindari@khaoskrow: ...that's not a word. Huh.
Zane@zanethesage: XMPP is a acronym
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: Storytellers rule for the use of our RP channels is don't use them during scheduled events... Otherwise, first come first serve.
Sonak@cogitation#5681: I have only been recently assigned to a fleet attached to this armada. What is the purpose of this meeting?
Sindari@khaoskrow: "traide" isn't.
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: Again... I'll have the system up on the forum... It's not complicated, but it can look that way, so feel free to ask questions.
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: -=-
Sonak@cogitation#5681: I just asked a question.
Sonak@cogitation#5681: I have only been recently assigned to a fleet attached to this armada. What is the purpose of this meeting?
Zane@zanethesage: It's a weekly meeting for the Armada, Sonak. You don't have to be here if you don't wanna be.
Zane@zanethesage: We have the meetings to conduct operational stuff.
Ten@Farmer42: Also, not in character.
Kyle Shran@PvtFromPA: I'm just here for the popcorn
Three@Voyager316: I'm just here so I don't get fined.
Sonak@cogitation#5681: No complaint was intended. I was curious.
Kevin@Sonusem: They give you popcorn?
Zane@zanethesage: It's cool.
Kevin@Sonusem: Three, dude. You just gave me a free pizza stamp card. That's not cool, dude.
Kyle Shran@PvtFromPA: Trust perk #23. Free popcorn for all members
Varzec@deffdog: Im heading out guys if you have any ?son the newsletter hit me up later
Sindari@khaoskrow: I'm just here cause I'm bored and wanted to feel included. T_T
Zane@zanethesage: SHHHH KYLE
Zane@zanethesage: We wuv you fow coming Sindari
Zane@zanethesage: :3
Kevin@Sonusem: I come because the last couple meetings it's only been Three and I from the fleet.
Kevin@Sonusem: But they are good meetings.
Zane@zanethesage: Okay, anything else frome yall?
T'Sar@pqtaggart13: I am totally making a Christmas elf costume.
Kyle Shran@PvtFromPA: what? its not like i told them about the booze cabinet on the starbase or anything
Sonak@cogitation#5681 yawns at Kevin.
brian@raynos3497: i really dont have anything guess theres no voting tonight
Sonak@cogitation#5681: What issues tend to face this council?
Zane@zanethesage: Not really, kind of had a rough Thanksgiving.
Zane@zanethesage: And by rough I mean "please end this miserable week of my existance".
Three@Voyager316: Ok, I need to be heading out now. Night guys
Zane@zanethesage: Yeah, We're dismissed all.
Kyle Shran@PvtFromPA: nighty night
Michael@bigshady575: try working in retail
Kyle Shran@PvtFromPA: Zane you keep being all sad I'm pouring myself some Gin
Sindari@khaoskrow: I think RP channels are all well and good, but why do armadas never want to make a Cross fleet OOC?
Zane@zanethesage: Hmm?
Sindari@khaoskrow: It's weird. None of the ones I talked to seem interested.
Tiana@vitas33: There already is one. It's called Armada
Kyle Shran@PvtFromPA: Dont we have that with the Armada freq?
Sindari@khaoskrow: Armada can't be accessed unless you're on a toon in it and it can't be opened on XMPP.
Kyle Shran@PvtFromPA: or are you talking inter-armada?
brian@raynos3497: and sonak ill answer in fleet chat
Zane@zanethesage: We did, nobody used it.
Zane@zanethesage: I think more people shut it off than anything.
Zane@zanethesage: I mean if you wanna use something like that, there's STAR Public
Zane@zanethesage: But I get what you're asking now Sindari.
Sindari@khaoskrow: Is the whole STAR armada channel active at all?
Zane@zanethesage: Yup! Pretty regularly now.
Sindari@khaoskrow: I'm never on a toon in the Storytellers these days, so I wouldn't know. >.<
Zane@zanethesage: XD
Zane@zanethesage: Yeah I see you're in Argo
Zane@zanethesage: I asked them if they wanted to join, I got a cold shoulder
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: Its as bout as active as our OOC channel... We have lots of Channels guys...
Sindari@khaoskrow: Yep. Put my main, Sindari, in there.
Sindari@khaoskrow: Argo is in one with the ZEF.
Zane@zanethesage: Yeah, got cold shoulder from them too.
Zane@zanethesage: Actually I take that back
Sindari@khaoskrow: I would have been all for joining STAR, but the feeling I got was kinda meh.
Sindari@khaoskrow: A lot of people see the 26th in there and kinda shy away TBH.
Sindari@khaoskrow: Least, that's the impression I got.
Zane@zanethesage: Some ZEF people are openly hostile to me, so IDK what I did.
Kyle Shran@PvtFromPA: random Armada noob question. On the armada page the different fleets look broken down. is there a hierarchy or anything?
Zane@zanethesage: Not really.
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: Nope.
Sindari@khaoskrow: They're SUPER isolated... Argo did one or two events with them, then nothing.
Zane@zanethesage: That's what I heard
Sindari@khaoskrow: I see ZEF people online a lot, but the Armada channel is silent and you NEVER see them outside their Starbase.
Zane@zanethesage: I talked to them about some of the game stuff, and I found out they all ignored me.
Sindari@khaoskrow: RPers never want to talk game stuff. T_T
Zane@zanethesage: It's wierd.
Zane@zanethesage: I mean, I do, it's a happy medium.
Zane@zanethesage: Ten showed me the light of DPS-10k recently so.
Sindari@khaoskrow: I keep trying to get Argo to talk builds or fill queues. But nooope. Silence.
Zane@zanethesage: Now I can blaze through new alts and get them to 50
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: On the note on the forum pages, last I checked the Storytellers forum was not grouped with the rest...
Zane@zanethesage: I...heard reasons as to why that were.
Zane@zanethesage: It's not?
Zane@zanethesage: *grumbles and goes back to fix it, cursing self*
brian@raynos3497: sounds like you need to members that will speak
Kevin@Sonusem: mmm. dps builds.
Sindari@khaoskrow: Well. Let's be honest, most RPers don't play STO for the gameplay. So. My job can be agonizing.
Zane@zanethesage: I mean I kinda do.
Zane@zanethesage: I guess I'm wierd.
Sindari@khaoskrow: Good!
Kyle Shran@PvtFromPA: I just dont PvP. never got into it
T'Sar@pqtaggart13: I love the gameplay! ... It's just way beyond me. If I don't blow up or die, I figure I'm doing something right.
Zane@zanethesage: ERe we go
Kevin@Sonusem: Gameplay's easy.
Kevin@Sonusem: Starts on the 2nd.
Raines@o0mpgregor0o: it took me forever to find the right ship to rp in for me
Sindari@khaoskrow: I'm one of the weird people that still PvP sometimes. Helps with the tutoring.
Kyle Shran@PvtFromPA: i decided to be diff and RP with a tier 2
Raines@o0mpgregor0o: i was going to ask you after the meeting about some pvp tutoring
Kevin@Sonusem: Man
Zane@zanethesage: Zak, fixed
Kevin@Sonusem: 3rd? Hmm.
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: Thanks.
brian@raynos3497: since the meeting is over im heading out
Sindari@khaoskrow: If you ever need help, I've been a PvE/PvP tutor in Storytellers for... what, a couple years now?
Zane@zanethesage: Sind, you should come more often.
Sindari@khaoskrow: I would!
Sindari@khaoskrow: Buuut I can't see the cross-fleet.
Zane@zanethesage: Eugh. I've thought about having a meeting channel
Sindari@khaoskrow: And all my RP is with Argo at the moment.
Zane@zanethesage: But i'd have to invite people to and manage it
Zane@zanethesage: And that's a pain in the rear for something like that
Kyle Shran@PvtFromPA: do we have an Armada RP coming??
Sindari@khaoskrow: I've been pushing for a cross-fleet OOC for ages. No one I've talked to wants to be involved though.
Kevin@Sonusem: So.
Sindari@khaoskrow: But everyone uses STORP.ORG channel. So I don't get it.
Zane@zanethesage: That channel still has people in it?
T'Sar@pqtaggart13: All the time! I have to shut it off sometimes. It's like Zone chat.
brian@raynos3497: i dont see why argo cant come join our armada
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: @kyle, I'm working on a few things for an Armada RP. I would like to try and have something before Christmas, but that may be a tall order.
Sindari@khaoskrow: Pretty active. But it's open. So anyone can get in.
Zane@zanethesage: They don't want to. I asked, got a really cold shoulder.
Kevin@Sonusem: You guys keep talking about doing big stories and such, but is there just light RP at all?
Kevin@Sonusem: I mean, stories are cool, but not all the time.
Kyle Shran@PvtFromPA: if they dont want to and their rude like that forget em
Sindari@khaoskrow: I can ask them, if you'd like. Maybe see why they said no.
T'Sar@pqtaggart13: I am all about the light RP.
Zane@zanethesage: We actually do have a STA-RP night set up, but it never took of
Zane@zanethesage: It's Thursdays at 8
Kyle Shran@PvtFromPA: YOUR THURSDAYS AT 8 ZANE
Zane@zanethesage: But nobody's really done anything for it, so if you guys wanna get together, and make that thing a thing again
Zane@zanethesage: *throws a tribble at Kyle*
Zane@zanethesage: MERRY CHRISTMAS YOU HOCKEY PUCK
Kevin@Sonusem: The problem I seem to have with doing rp is that there's not a set place it goes on.
Kyle Shran@PvtFromPA: *throws a klingon at Zane*
Kevin@Sonusem: Makes it difficult to get into it.
brian@raynos3497: alrighty good night all
Kyle Shran@PvtFromPA: bye bye
Kevin@Sonusem: And fleet starbases are invite only outside of fleets, so that's not really a good idea for casual stuff.
Kevin@Sonusem: Night night.
Zane@zanethesage: Hrm, you've got my gears turning Kevin.
T'Sar@pqtaggart13: Ask on Armada if anyone wants to play. Find a place to meet. :]
Zane@zanethesage: GUH! I GOT IT!
Zane@zanethesage: K7.
Qul@meslamtea: Also social zones are trolled or DS9 #1 fills up quick
Kevin@Sonusem: Yeah, but I was thinking more like setting a place where we all go for social rp.
Sindari@khaoskrow: Dammit, I wish I could see Armada channel. T_T
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: Well, just the way the scheduling falls, but we do have a thing this Thursday in DS9 Ops at 7 EST... IC meeting. It is part of our plot, but interested folks are welcomed to sit in.
Zane@zanethesage: Which is why I suggested K7.
T'Sar@pqtaggart13: That's a good one Zane!
Zane@zanethesage: K7 is hardly used, we can do something there.
Zane@zanethesage: A low-usage public map.
T'Sar@pqtaggart13: My ship goes there, like, for free.
Zane@zanethesage: Exactly.
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: Or the one in Romulan space... It's prettier IMO.
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: Or Bajor.
Kevin@Sonusem: Think I've only been to K7 twice for those missions.
Zane@zanethesage: I thought about Hathon
Kyle Shran@PvtFromPA: that.
Kyle Shran@PvtFromPA: Drozana has quieted down as well i think
Zane@zanethesage: Drozana is cursed ground still.
T'Sar@pqtaggart13: Actually Hathon is purty. Too bad we can't go to Mirror Hathon. That joint is bumpin'.
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: The sheer fact Hathon has a Klingon Bar gives it my vote.
Raines@o0mpgregor0o: ds9 was a ghost town earlier
Kevin@Sonusem: Regular Risa might be good now that everyone ignores it for Summer Risa.
Qul@meslamtea: Drozana still has its trolls
Sindari@khaoskrow: So?
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: Summer Risa is good too.
Sindari@khaoskrow: Trolls are easily ignored.
Sindari@khaoskrow: And sometimes, even rather helpful.
Kyle Shran@PvtFromPA: wish there was some infrastructer on Andoria
Sindari@khaoskrow: Had Nabreeki do us all a public service in Quarks the other day. Was nice.
Zane@zanethesage: While I agree with you Sin, The sheer presence of people feeds the trolls, even the presence of trolls.
Qul@meslamtea: K7 sounds awesome though
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: That is one thing I'm trying to push: Ignore the trolls... get out there.
Kyle Shran@PvtFromPA: i like K7
Sindari@khaoskrow: Co-exist.
Zane@zanethesage: Push man push.
Kyle Shran@PvtFromPA: also, ESD seems to be quiet in the social areas
Sindari@khaoskrow: Grab a [Subspace Party Nullifier] and move on.
Zane@zanethesage: I ws JUST About to suggest that
Zane@zanethesage: ESD Club 47
Kevin@Sonusem: Club 47 is usually abandoned.
Zane@zanethesage: Which is perfect
Kevin@Sonusem: The upper tresses where the memorial plaque is also.
Kyle Shran@PvtFromPA: YES
Sindari@khaoskrow: Welp. I got an answer as to why Argo didn't join STAR.
Zane@zanethesage: AND I think I can run interference while we're there.
Kyle Shran@PvtFromPA: and STA
Zane@zanethesage: Oohh, do share
Qul@meslamtea: Would it be too much of a pain to have a rotating RP? ESD one thurs, then K7 etc?
Zane@zanethesage: We can try it
Sindari@khaoskrow: I'll paste it.
Zane@zanethesage: I'm open to any and all ideas.
Sindari@khaoskrow: Not all RP fleets are going to be on the same page, about any number of things. We did discuss it, and we decided that joining that particular armada wasn't +
Sindari@khaoskrow: the direction that we wanted for Argo.
Sindari@khaoskrow:
Zane@zanethesage: ...Wow, I might have said no just from the bushbeating.
Zane@zanethesage: That's not even cold
Zane@zanethesage: Jeesh
Zane@zanethesage: *kicks stone* Try to be a nice guy...
T'Sar@pqtaggart13: What direction does Argo want?
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: I would like to point out that DS9, Hathon, Drozana, and Risa are the only onese we can bring our Klink side friends too.
Zane@zanethesage: Eugh, good point.
Kevin@Sonusem: Sounds like they want to do things specifically their way to me.
Zane@zanethesage: Heh, Sin, we're still here, so.
Zane@zanethesage: We're agreed this long. XP
Sindari@khaoskrow: I'm betting it was a case of them not liking the smell of one of the fleets.
Zane@zanethesage: Probable. We had discussions about that in private.
Kevin@Sonusem: Or they are paranoid people will leave for other fleets in the armada.
Sindari@khaoskrow: One person PMed me and said because of Storytellers when I asked. I know a couple others are 26th refugees who were kicked. Sooo...
Sindari@khaoskrow: Who knows.
Kevin@Sonusem: Ah well.
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: We're two weeks new into this Armada!
T'Sar@pqtaggart13: They must be our rivals.
Sindari@khaoskrow: A shame. I can't help but look at all this activity and drool.
Zane@zanethesage: *shrugs* People are big asses sometimes. I guess I have more faith in people than I should.
Zane@zanethesage: Oh well~!
Kevin@Sonusem: naw. Always have faith in people.
Sindari@khaoskrow: That, and it only takes one or two bad experiences with individuals to color an opinion of a whole fleet.
Kevin@Sonusem: They will let you down, but the alternative is reeeaaaaal bad.
T'Sar@pqtaggart13: They will be our enemy fleet. We will have RP wars.
Zane@zanethesage: Yeah, took me long enough to rise above some of thsoe experiences
Zane@zanethesage: I still update TFA's little Google Doc thing too.
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: Hey, I nearly didn't join the Tellers way back in the day when we were still STORP because of a bad experience with an ex-member.
Sindari@khaoskrow: I'll try to join in on some STAR RP, but... I'll have to use the forums if I can't access the Armada channel on my main RP toons.
Zane@zanethesage: You can use Public, Sin
T'Sar@pqtaggart13: Will someone ask Sindari if she wants to join us already, GAWD.
Sindari@khaoskrow: I'm a member of Storytellers already.
T'Sar@pqtaggart13: Oh, right. >_>
Zane@zanethesage: Suprisingly, STAR is the second biggest RP armada
Zane@zanethesage: Because UST is ENORMOUS.
Sindari@khaoskrow: One of their Mentors. Tutor/Recruitment officer. I just moved almost all my main RP toons out of it.
Zane@zanethesage: I'm actually suprised nobody from UST has tried to talk to me
Zane@zanethesage: Yall know ID4, and hte alien mothership situating over the white house?
T'Sar@pqtaggart13: They're scared of having so many people it turns into chaos.
Zane@zanethesage: That's kinda what it feels like
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: You know, IMO, I belive Fleet Starbases did more to hurt the STO RP community than any party bomb did. I'm hoping we can be the Armada to bring back quality public RP.
Kyle Shran@PvtFromPA: I agree
Zane@zanethesage: Right now, I've got people that are really wanting to put an effort in talking to one another. So we're getting somewhere. ^~^
Kyle Shran@PvtFromPA: i enjoyed the days when we as a fleet could go to ds9 and interact wth other fleets
Sindari@khaoskrow: It's more of a case of filtering.
Qul@meslamtea: Public social maps offer better RP than starbases
Zane@zanethesage: Yeah
Sindari@khaoskrow: In Quarks, you get Augments, ERP, 18 year old fleet admirals with elemental powers who nailed Q. On a fleet holding, you can do quality control better.
Sindari@khaoskrow: But it's a double edged sword, since that tends to stagnate.
Qul@meslamtea: Yep
Zane@zanethesage: So take this to yalls fleet guys, I'm putting out the APB.
Zane@zanethesage: I want ideas for a public, regular, RP event that we can announce to the STO community
Kevin@Sonusem: We should have a casual winter wonderland rp going on.
Zane@zanethesage: So that way we can reach out to the powers that be to try and hit more people.
Zane@zanethesage: YES! We can make STA-RP in the wonderland a regular thing.
Zane@zanethesage: Q "rewarding" us for beating the Iconians. Or something.
Kevin@Sonusem: Snowman of Borg.
Kyle Shran@PvtFromPA: just a random idea off the top of my head... inter fleet discussions in Quinns office on ESD followed by social in 47
Kyle Shran@PvtFromPA: OOC then IC
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: You have ours... And I'm making an effort to tell stories that are fleet, armada, and community wide.
Kevin@Sonusem: Well, why are you running aux cannons on a vesta?
Sindari@khaoskrow: Oh hey, what IS your various fleet's policy on the Wonderland?
Zane@zanethesage: You've got the experience Zak, we can all learn from you.
Sindari@khaoskrow: Mass holodeck program? Where they're all linked like a VR MMO?
Zane@zanethesage: No not at- wait a minute....
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: Kyle, there's a nice conference room under Quinn's office... that way we won't take up space in the office itself... but we'll still be heard, especially by newbs.
Zane@zanethesage: *meta detector beeps*
Zane@zanethesage:
Sindari@khaoskrow: So you and your friends can chat with holographic avatars of people across the galaxy on another Starbase?
Zane@zanethesage: Anyway, we used to have a policy on it, but I axed it.
Zane@zanethesage: So now it's Q just kind of teleports people there
Kevin@Sonusem: I have no idea what our fleets stance on the wonderland is. I'm pretty sure I'm the only one on.
Zane@zanethesage: But now I can say Q basically paused the entire universe (or something along those lines) and put everyone in the wonderland
Zane@zanethesage: Or he "rewarded" the universe for beating the Iconians
Zane@zanethesage: Bla bla bla, et cetera, et cetera, we used to have wierd rules about it. *waves hand around*
Kyle Shran@PvtFromPA: being heard wouldnt be a problem with a special channel
Zane@zanethesage: STAR public.
Zane@zanethesage: Also, tell others they should join STAR Public.
Zane@zanethesage: Otherwise I start going down fleet lists.
Sindari@khaoskrow: I avoid Q stuff, generally. People get silly with it.
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: My personal opinion is... It's not that important.
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: Just RP and enjoy the snow.
Zane@zanethesage: *shrugs* Yeah, but people like the wonderland, so I put down a generic reason now that I could
Kevin@Sonusem: I hope they leave it open like they did the summer area.
Zane@zanethesage: They don't
Zane@zanethesage: Which is sad
Zane@zanethesage: Cause they could make something of it
Sindari@khaoskrow: Ima stack ALL the runspeed buffs!
Kevin@Sonusem: Well they didn't used to leave the summer area open, either, but they did this year. So. Maybe we'll get lucky.
Zane@zanethesage: They did since its inception
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: For the life of me, I will never understand why they don't do it on the unused Andoria map.
Zane@zanethesage: Since it was so popular
Sindari@khaoskrow: I hope they move it to Andoria and pimp out that HUGE map.
Zane@zanethesage: YES
Qul@meslamtea: Amen
Zane@zanethesage: But it's cause Andoria's old code is Federation specific
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: So was Risa's.
Zane@zanethesage: It's actually REALLY hard to make a map multi-faction
Zane@zanethesage: From what I can read in the source code
Tiana@vitas33: You would think it's just a couple of flags
Zane@zanethesage: No, there's a lot of very ugly stuff you gotta do.
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: Yep.
Kevin@Sonusem: so I asked the senior members who are actually on.
Kevin@Sonusem: And our stance is that it's usually OOC but feel free to be IC.
Zane@zanethesage: Purdy much ours too.
Kevin@Sonusem: The wonderland, I mean.
Zane@zanethesage: ANyhoes, I got somewhere to be. I'll be Out of game for 15 minutes but if peeps wanna talk to me after I'll be on Pidgin.
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: I think Armada-wide, the stance should be "let people have their stance and don't bother about it."
Zane@zanethesage: Yup
Kevin@Sonusem: Yeah.
Kyle Shran@PvtFromPA: hooah
Zane@zanethesage: I mean that's a fleet thing, I can't enforce anything on that by design.
Kevin@Sonusem: I have to get going also. A friend is waiting to give me some stuff to gear my new baby klingon Talaxian.
Zane@zanethesage: Cyall later!
Kevin@Sonusem: Full Mark 2 purples, woo!
Kyle Shran@PvtFromPA: this was really educational. thanks!
Zakaria Basri@hszmv: Hell, Q vs. Holodeck MMO both explain the crazy of the other.
