(06/25 20:20:50) KL/\RREN: Is mike on sureface?

(06/25 20:21:00) Julian Lapis: So if he returns, it will be when he wants to?
(06/25 20:21:01) KL/\RREN: Surface
(06/25 20:21:04) The Guild Of Cones: i think he will show himself when he fells ready
(06/25 20:21:08) TomahnaGuy: He may feel "called" back one day! :)
(06/25 20:21:15) Poseidon: so what is you new position cate?
(06/25 20:21:17) Julian Lapis: Right.
(06/25 20:21:25) Nine-O-Nine: like Dr Watson....
(06/25 20:21:37) Erik: Ms. Alexander, is your position equal to that of the other DRC members? Or do you take Dr. Watson's old role?
(06/25 20:21:42) Pryftan: Ms. Alexander, how would you characterize the changes you want to bring to the DRC now that you have more pull?
(06/25 20:21:54) Cate Alexander: I am equasl to the other members as far as vote power.
(06/25 20:22:01) Julian Lapis: Hmm. We might need a question relay system
(06/25 20:22:03) TomahnaGuy: miss Alexander what role of Michaels will you now be taking?
(06/25 20:22:09) TomahnaGuy: I see
(06/25 20:22:19) Poseidon: well congratulations
(06/25 20:22:24) UberThend: CAte, what about the position you already occupied? Who is taking over your duties there and what were they - exactly?
(06/25 20:22:29) Whilyam: Cate, who will oversee the "restoration" phase?
(06/25 20:22:45) TomahnaGuy: Who will be doing your Job now Miss Alexander?
(06/25 20:22:48) Cate Alexander: I will also continue to try and find funding for the effort.
(06/25 20:22:50) Poseidon: do you have a raplacement for micheal?
(06/25 20:22:57) TomahnaGuy: Multiple jobs?
(06/25 20:22:59) Cate Alexander: Yes.
(06/25 20:23:04) TomahnaGuy: poseidon: it is Cate
(06/25 20:23:28) UberThend: Cate, related to that, how are we, as explorers, part of the funding effort? Where do we fit in?
(06/25 20:23:54) [ Mister Cloak ] wants to ask a question...
(06/25 20:24:08) Pryftan: Seconded.. how can we help?
(06/25 20:24:13) TomahnaGuy: Miss Alexander what is the funding situation like at present?
(06/25 20:24:18) Cate Alexander: I do want to say that it was not a unanimous vote.
(06/25 20:24:34) Cate Alexander: I'm sure that will come out eventually. There are no hard feelings however.
(06/25 20:24:34) Julian Lapis: No?
(06/25 20:24:40) Tai'lahr: oooo, who disagrees?
(06/25 20:24:48) AKA: who voted against it Ms Alexander?
(06/25 20:24:50) [ Mister Cloak ]: One question at a time please explorers.
(06/25 20:24:57) Cate Alexander: Marie was not sure that I should be appointed to the Council.
(06/25 20:25:01) Alhon wants to ask a question
(06/25 20:25:02) D'ean: Shorah
(06/25 20:25:09) Erik: Ms. Alexander, Mr. Laxman said yesterday that he doesn't know anything about structures, that was Mr. Engberg's job. Now, who will look after structures now?
(06/25 20:25:12) Cate Alexander: We have spoken and I understand her reasoning.
(06/25 20:25:31) TomahnaGuy: Miss Alexander, how is the fundin situation at prsent?
(06/25 20:25:33) Whilyam wants to ask a question...
(06/25 20:25:34) Pryftan: What were here concerns, exactly?
(06/25 20:25:43) [ Mister Cloak ] wants to ask a question...
(06/25 20:25:50) Cate Alexander: The funding situation could be better. Much better.
(06/25 20:25:58) TomahnaGuy: :?
(06/25 20:26:00) Cate Alexander: Marie can tell you her exact concerns.
(06/25 20:26:03) AKA: would you share her concerns with us Ms. Alexander?
(06/25 20:26:04) TomahnaGuy feels uneasy suddenly
(06/25 20:26:20) Whilyam: Hello, Blake
(06/25 20:26:32) TomahnaGuy: Bad iming :O
(06/25 20:26:33) KL/\RREN: Much better?
(06/25 20:26:41) NaWen: reply Hi Tehanu
(06/25 20:26:48) FI4CHR4: )
(06/25 20:27:12) UberThend: Mister Cloak has a Question...
(06/25 20:27:14) Cate Alexander: ResEngs will be filling in the gaps for strcutural analysis.
(06/25 20:27:32) TomahnaGuy: will the explorers have a part in this?
(06/25 20:27:36) Cate Alexander: There are quite a few who worked with Engberg before he left.
(06/25 20:27:41) Erik: Okay, thanks for answering.
(06/25 20:27:53) Pryftan: Do you have any particularly pressing goals as a member of the council?
(06/25 20:28:17) Cate Alexander: My goal is to make this work.
(06/25 20:28:18) TomahnaGuy wants to ask a question...
(06/25 20:28:24) Cate Alexander: Whatever it takes.
(06/25 20:28:31) Alhon: what will happen if Michal returns? will he be given his seat back?
(06/25 20:28:33) Julian Lapis: Whatever it takes?
(06/25 20:28:35) TomahnaGuy: we're backing you Miss Alexander :)
(06/25 20:28:38) Mohawk: I'm sure it'll work out!
(06/25 20:28:38) Tai'lahr: We share that goal with you.
(06/25 20:28:39) Whilyam: Cate what sort of credentials do you bring to the DRC? Did you study anything relevant to the restoration?
(06/25 20:28:54) TomahnaGuy: yes, same Q Whilyam
(06/25 20:28:57) Thumbs up from Ewilan
(06/25 20:29:00) Whilyam: Aside from making money that is
(06/25 20:29:06) AKA: awesome Ms. Alexander...I'm all for that...I hope to help make it work also.
(06/25 20:29:15) Cate Alexander: I understand this process enough and have enough experience in business ventures to have earned the respect of the other members.
(06/25 20:29:29) Pryftan: What sort of obstacles are in your way of making this work? Purely funding concerns?
(06/25 20:29:30) Richi salutes
(06/25 20:29:31) TomahnaGuy: But what are your qualifications?
(06/25 20:29:39) Whilyam: What sort of education, though?
(06/25 20:29:44) [ Mister Cloak ] wants to ask a question...
(06/25 20:29:46) Cate Alexander: I suppose everything starts with funding.
(06/25 20:29:49) Justin: Yay! I got to the top of Age Players!!!
(06/25 20:29:56) Cate Alexander: We need man power.
(06/25 20:30:01) Cate Alexander: We need time.
(06/25 20:30:07) Alhon: get me a hard hat and a shovel. :)
(06/25 20:30:10) Julian Lapis: And things end with a lack of funding....
(06/25 20:30:10) Richi salutes
(06/25 20:30:11) Volki salutes
(06/25 20:30:20) Cate Alexander: And we have creatures runnign around that we know very little about.
(06/25 20:30:24) [ Mister Cloak ]: Cate, have you come up with alternate means of providing income for the restoration?
(06/25 20:30:24) Whilyam: Blak, where'd you go?
(06/25 20:30:34) Mohawk is ready to lend a hand!
(06/25 20:30:41) Poseidon: speaking of which... what is the status of the Er'canna age?
(06/25 20:30:41) Pryftan: Does that mean studying the Bahro will be one of the DRC's main priorities?
(06/25 20:30:42) Tai'lahr: We're prepared to assist you in studying the Bahro.
(06/25 20:30:46) TomahnaGuy: I agree Cate.
(06/25 20:30:49) Cate Alexander: We have discussed advertisements in the cavern.
(06/25 20:30:58) Tai'lahr: Oh, no.
(06/25 20:31:03) Whilyam shakes his head
(06/25 20:31:04) Nadnerb is opposed to that
(06/25 20:31:05) Julian Lapis: Advertising?!?
(06/25 20:31:08) Yellowdog: Like Nascar?
(06/25 20:31:12) TomahnaGuy: The Cavern would be a different place if there was more funding. Still many of us back your decisions! :)
(06/25 20:31:12) Erik: What? In an archeological place like this?
(06/25 20:31:15) The Guild Of Cones: d'ni Coke
(06/25 20:31:16) Loolee70 starts to laugh
(06/25 20:31:21) Diafero: IMHO a bad idea...
(06/25 20:31:21) Alhon: that depends how it'd done.
(06/25 20:31:24) Poseidon: D'nitoes
(06/25 20:31:26) Nine-O-Nine: and..... can you tell us of the status on that?
(06/25 20:31:33) Astro thinks not
(06/25 20:31:39) Cate Alexander: It is still under discussion.
(06/25 20:31:49) Cate Alexander: I will tell you bluntly, I'm al for it.
(06/25 20:31:52) [ Mister Cloak ]: D'nominoes
(06/25 20:31:54) Tai'lahr feels faint.
(06/25 20:31:56) Kimmie cringes
(06/25 20:32:04) Whilyam is a bit upset...
(06/25 20:32:05) TomahnaGuy: all for what?
(06/25 20:32:08) Alhon: it need to be pretty non-obtrusive, though.
(06/25 20:32:11) Ewilan: no advertisment please
(06/25 20:32:12) Tela cringes
(06/25 20:32:13) Diafero: :(
(06/25 20:32:14) Erik: Do you think the Bahro will like it, if we treat the Cavern like some sort of theme park.
(06/25 20:32:16) [ Mister Cloak ]: it's a good idea for funding, no doubt
(06/25 20:32:18) Julian Lapis: Hmmm. If it isn't done right, it could be a very negative thing...
(06/25 20:32:18) ireenquench: We already have advertisement. Shirts. More shirts?
(06/25 20:32:24) Cate Alexander: As I said, whatever it takes. If the option is to end the restoration, I would rather have advertisting.
(06/25 20:32:25) Tai'lahr: Good point, Erik.
(06/25 20:32:26) AKA: but wouldn't that ruin the feel of D'ni?
(06/25 20:32:32) lightkeeper: The only audiance for IC advertising are the explorers, we are against it.
(06/25 20:32:36) awalan: if it will decrease the lag---------let it roll
(06/25 20:32:42) Ewilan: would tottaly spoill the cavern
(06/25 20:32:45) [ Mister Cloak ]: that is a good point Cate
(06/25 20:32:45) TomahnaGuy: As more explorers are coming every day, its be greatif we had more funding I suppose.
(06/25 20:32:47) leeloo: waht sort of advertisement would that be?
(06/25 20:32:52) Cate Alexander: I understand the negative consequences.
(06/25 20:32:55) Tai'lahr: Good point, awalan.
(06/25 20:32:56) Pryftan: Where exactly would the advertising be displayed?
(06/25 20:32:58) Astro: Maybe if we could buy merchandise...
(06/25 20:32:59) Erik: D'ni lives. This is no attraction. There are even D'ni! How would the D'ni feel if we would do this?
(06/25 20:32:59) D'ean: i would be for it Cate, if its just temporary tell the DRC can get more funding
(06/25 20:33:03) Mohawk: We'll get used to it
(06/25 20:33:03) TomahnaGuy: it is an interesting oncept
(06/25 20:33:12) Whilyam: I would love to be able to get some shirts or something.
(06/25 20:33:12) Altydwarber: Cate Alexander what if thre would be advertising europe and australia to get funding
(06/25 20:33:26) TomahnaGuy: it would modernise the cavern
(06/25 20:33:32) Pryftan: I wouldn't mind new constructions here, but putting banners on ancient D'ni construction seems a little risky
(06/25 20:33:36) Diafero: we already have quite many un-dni-ish things around here which somehow destroy the feeling... advertisment would really be too much
(06/25 20:33:40) Alhon: i'd be ok if it's in the cavern, but NOT in the ages.
(06/25 20:33:43) lightkeeper: spend advertising to attract more explorers
(06/25 20:33:46) The Guild Of Cones: i wouldn't mind shirt, but I wouldn't want giant billboards
(06/25 20:33:54) Tai'lahr: Oh, yes, by all means, let's "modernize" the cavern! :(
(06/25 20:33:54) TomahnaGuy: agrred Alhon
(06/25 20:33:58) Mar'ith: how about just a shopping / advertising age only?
(06/25 20:34:02) D'ean: i aggree lightkeeper
(06/25 20:34:12) Justin: Ms. Alexander, is there any news on Mr. Engburg?
(06/25 20:34:13) Cate Alexander: There is still a lot of discussion that has to happen.
(06/25 20:34:15) TomahnaGuy: in the main ciy would be good I think
(06/25 20:34:19) Erik: Ms. Alexander, there are still D'ni living. We can't just place posters and avertisements on their homes, can we?
(06/25 20:34:21) TomahnaGuy: city
(06/25 20:34:28) lightkeeper: Thx D"ean
(06/25 20:34:35) KalTan: and the next thing is a casino in the palace ...
(06/25 20:34:39) TomahnaGuy: Erik sometimes the majority outweigh the minority
(06/25 20:34:43) UberThend: Cate, how does the explorers' presence here contribute to the funding, how do we fit in?
(06/25 20:34:46) Pryftan: I understand it will be up to you and the Council, but please keep us posted, Ms Alexander.
(06/25 20:34:48) leeloo: what about hood imagers? good place for advertising
(06/25 20:34:52) TomahnaGuy: and if more people like signs and if it provides funding im all for it
(06/25 20:34:56) UberThend: Pre-advertising
(06/25 20:34:57) ireenquench: Maybe Jalak couldd be used for that. Like an amusement park fair thing.
(06/25 20:35:06) Cate Alexander: I will keep you posted.
(06/25 20:35:12) Pryftan: Thank you.
(06/25 20:35:12) Diafero: but now it seems the majority is against ads, TomahnaGuy
(06/25 20:35:15) TomahnaGuy: yes, plkeae tell us more on jalak Cate :)
(06/25 20:35:16) Whilyam: Would it be possible to get some photos from Jalak, Cate?
(06/25 20:35:17) ABguy: What about mining and oil companies has the DRC considered assessing ages for there mineral value for funding?
(06/25 20:35:17) [ Mister Cloak ]: is Jalak like an arena?
(06/25 20:35:22) Ewilan: if some advertising shows up, i probably won't stay in the cavern
(06/25 20:35:23) Tai'lahr imagines advertizing posters hanging in the Hall of Kings.
(06/25 20:35:32) Justin: Is Jalak a new age or something?
(06/25 20:35:33) Saint Kip: tell us something good please
(06/25 20:35:40) TomahnaGuy: Ewilan that would be unfortunate.
(06/25 20:35:42) TomahnaGuy: and said
(06/25 20:35:46) TomahnaGuy: sad
(06/25 20:35:50) Tela: I think modernizing the cavern would also mean losing a whole lot of its atmosphere, I am against advertisements, except for those on T-Shirts
(06/25 20:35:51) Alhon: is there a way to market surface area like the cleft? that could be a source of revenue.
(06/25 20:35:57) Nadnerb: good is subjective.
(06/25 20:36:01) Pryftan: Justin, Jalak is a D'ni gaming age due to be released around the time of Ahnonay
(06/25 20:36:07) TomahnaGuy: perhapse just certain places for advertising
(06/25 20:36:07) Cate Alexander: If no advertising shows up there may not be a cavern for you to stay in.
(06/25 20:36:11) Justin: Ah
(06/25 20:36:13) Justin: Wow
(06/25 20:36:19) Mohawk: hmmmmm...
(06/25 20:36:19) TomahnaGuy: my goodness
(06/25 20:36:20) Ewilan: i like the idea of gamming
(06/25 20:36:26) Alhon: i'll take the ads if it means a cavern.
(06/25 20:36:34) Cate Alexander: These are not easy discussions.
(06/25 20:36:36) TomahnaGuy: are we at that dire a state Miss alexander?
(06/25 20:36:40) UberThend: Ca
(06/25 20:36:43) TomahnaGuy: are things with funding that bad?
(06/25 20:36:45) ireenquench: Whats with merchandise selling on the surface? That could make money.
(06/25 20:36:46) Alhon: is Gametap helping with the funding at all?
(06/25 20:36:47) Julian Lapis: IS the financing situation truly that dire?
(06/25 20:36:47) Tai'lahr: So, it's really already a done deal; we just need to get used to the idea, huh?
(06/25 20:36:48) Cate Alexander: We may be.
(06/25 20:36:52) leeloo: i'd rather have some advertising than no cavern at all
(06/25 20:36:55) TomahnaGuy: i see.
(06/25 20:37:00) Erik: Won't this anger the Bahro? especially Yeesha wouldn't agree with this. She seems to be on our side now, but if we do this....
(06/25 20:37:00) d'ni everything: I like the idea of advertising - I work in the business
(06/25 20:37:05) Saint Kip: talk about killing moral
(06/25 20:37:11) TomahnaGuy: i personally support it. But like you say intense discussions must follow this.
(06/25 20:37:12) KalTan: if advertising is at least necessary for exploring than i'm for it.
(06/25 20:37:15) Tai'lahr: Can we try to do this tastefully, at least?
(06/25 20:37:22) gelf56: laxman said that fixing doors was Enbergs speciality.. you going to get your hands dirty now cate you will you be busy in a finance meeting and the doors stay broken
(06/25 20:37:23) lightkeeper: Like pay TV I expect no advetising
(06/25 20:37:33) d'ni everything: advertising isnt all bad
(06/25 20:37:37) KL/\RREN: ADS means the ending is written.. for shure
(06/25 20:37:43) Illuvatar: Raise our monthly fees by 50% I'd gladly pay
(06/25 20:37:43) Cate Alexander: I am only bringing up some of our discussions - nothing has been decided.
(06/25 20:37:44) Alhon: we'll live.
(06/25 20:37:50) Suz: What about running ads during update loading.
(06/25 20:37:52) Ewilan: quitte right lightkeeper
(06/25 20:37:52) Cate Alexander: Please understand that.
(06/25 20:37:58) Diafero: but this is dni, not a supermarket... do we have ads in a museum?!?
(06/25 20:38:04) Mohawk: thank you for keeping us involved!
(06/25 20:38:04) Pryftan: Agreed Illuvatar
(06/25 20:38:10) KalTan: you're doing a great job mrs. Alexander ....
(06/25 20:38:15) Justin: tHe Ending has not yet been writen!
(06/25 20:38:21) TomahnaGuy: noi Kaalrren. On the contrary I belive advertising is necessary for the future. yes it would modernise the cavern and lose a pice of it at the same time but still if it is going to let the cavern survive so be it!
(06/25 20:38:25) Justin: no ads!!
(06/25 20:38:26) d'ni everything: no it can be done tastefully and with humor
(06/25 20:38:27) [ Mister Cloak ]: actually yes, we do have ads in museums
(06/25 20:38:27) Whilyam: Blake, what do you think of all this?
(06/25 20:38:31) Alhon: if you could give us a percentage, how close are we to closing the cavern?
(06/25 20:38:35) UberThend: Cate, would more people coming to the Cavern help revenue? If so, how exactly?
(06/25 20:38:45) Tai'lahr thinks Ms. Alexander is very brave to bring this topic to the explorers for discussion.
(06/25 20:38:50) leeloo: yes we ahve ads in museum diafero
(06/25 20:38:51) Justin: no Ads!!!
(06/25 20:38:59) KL/\RREN: if there are ads , i will play second life
(06/25 20:39:05) Cate Alexander: The more explorers the better. Of course.
(06/25 20:39:18) leeloo: we even have shops with things to buy some are tasty and some are horrible
(06/25 20:39:19) Cate Alexander: We are not close to closing the cavern.
(06/25 20:39:20) Justin: same here, if there were add, i would leave uru
(06/25 20:39:20) mayy: No aqds
(06/25 20:39:20) Diafero: you have? i never saw ads in the museums i visited
(06/25 20:39:24) URU_Plum: a quick way to kill uru=ads
(06/25 20:39:24) d'ni everything: what s wrong with Mister /Cloaks card game
(06/25 20:39:28) Cate Alexander: We are looking ahead.
(06/25 20:39:36) Justin: No Money! now Shops! No Add!!!!
(06/25 20:39:36) Saint Kip: is there anything to look forward to today?
(06/25 20:39:38) Cate Alexander: We are trying to plan wisely.
(06/25 20:39:40) d'ni everything: or Minkata Mudd Coffee?
(06/25 20:39:56) TomahnaGuy: this will need to eb considered carefully
(06/25 20:40:04) Cate Alexander: Agreed.
(06/25 20:40:04) Yellowdog: Pay Toilets...lol
(06/25 20:40:07) Erik: Thanks, Ms. Alexander. I appreciate your honesty about this and your will to discuss this with us. It's just a bit shocking.
(06/25 20:40:08) Illuvatar: Will you take donations from the willing?
(06/25 20:40:12) Tai'lahr: Market D'ni products to the explorers. They will buy lots!
(06/25 20:40:21) 'Veralun: Cate: those explorers are there, we just need to reach them
(06/25 20:40:22) KL/\RREN: do adds on login , but ingame it is the end of the game...
(06/25 20:40:32) ireenquench: Thats good to hear Cate. I am worried. Please consider merchandizing on surface as well. I am sure that can be a good source for funding.
(06/25 20:40:48) UberThend: Klarren, without them may be 'end of game', as she is saying
(06/25 20:40:49) TomahnaGuy: who else supports advertising> for the future of the ccavern?
(06/25 20:40:58) KL/\RREN: Ok, lets end today
(06/25 20:40:59) Tela: well, then do not let advertisements spoil the cavern
(06/25 20:41:04) Mar'ith: Cate: would the ads be in all ages or just a few like the city?
(06/25 20:41:07) Illuvatar: I support anything that keeps uru alive
(06/25 20:41:11) Cate Alexander: Hopefully these discussions can cotinue between us and you. Hopefully we can all come to a decision that we all agree on.
(06/25 20:41:15) Justin: ads would kill uru!!
(06/25 20:41:17) Poseidon: i will take adds if they are un-intrusive
(06/25 20:41:19) d'ni everything: Ive been in Pr and ad work for years - your not tapping this place well enough
(06/25 20:41:20) Diafero: do you think ads would keep it alive?
(06/25 20:41:21) UberThend: Bahro plushies, Hoodie action figures, t-shirts, posters, ANYthing
(06/25 20:41:24) D'ean: i support it, at least till thers enough support from explorers
(06/25 20:41:28) Cate Alexander: We will continue to talk.
(06/25 20:41:30) Nadnerb: the way I'm hearing this, there is really little danger of the cavern, they are simply discussing options for speeding up the restoration. Is that about right?
(06/25 20:41:33) TomahnaGuy: agreed
(06/25 20:41:35) Whilyam: I wouldn't like to see ads. Even if it meant shutting down the cavern.
(06/25 20:41:39) Cate Alexander: And keep the communication open.
(06/25 20:41:48) Tai'lahr: Will there be a discussion about this on the DRC forums? And, will the DRC participate in those discussions?
(06/25 20:41:50) Tela: I agree, whilyam
(06/25 20:41:50) Diafero: it would keep it up, but not alive
(06/25 20:41:52) Whilyam: This is an archaeological site first, Cate.
(06/25 20:41:52) [ Mister Cloak ]: Cate, if funding is a concern, could you set up a donation page on The DRC website?
(06/25 20:41:54) TomahnaGuy: we always like talking to you guys :)
(06/25 20:41:55) AKA: no it wouldn't Justin...if it is tastfully done
(06/25 20:41:57) Altydwarber: oh yes we sure will
(06/25 20:42:04) Songe: i'd buy a T-shirt, mouse mat etc
(06/25 20:42:05) Illuvatar: Yes. set up a donation page
(06/25 20:42:08) Yellowdog: Cate: Surely you dident come to tell us that! What else (Good News) do you have for us today?
(06/25 20:42:09) leeloo: i would certainly buy a d'ni mug or a yeesha tee shirt or ......
(06/25 20:42:10) Justin: True... but sitll
(06/25 20:42:17) KL/\RREN: adds in the caves? you will lost 50% players... belive me
(06/25 20:42:19) Whilyam: I would love to buy some form of D'ni merchandise
(06/25 20:42:20) Mohawk: this purpose the DRC site would be a good place to communicate
(06/25 20:42:23) Sti 'in: what are you talkin about?
(06/25 20:42:25) Whilyam: But no ads.
(06/25 20:42:27) sil_oh_wet: i am open to advertising under the right circumstances.
(06/25 20:42:28) UberThend: Cate, may here would buy erchandise, I'm fairly sure of it
(06/25 20:42:39) ireenquench: Cate, if you dont mind the question...whats Marie currently doing?
(06/25 20:42:40) d'ni everything: I think abit of cooperative discussion is very helpful
(06/25 20:42:48) Cate Alexander: I do have to get to a meeting with Mr. Sharper. We will talk more about this. Please keep an open mind. I will do the same.
(06/25 20:42:48) Pryftan: If people leave because of a few ads they weren't really all that interested in D'ni in the first place.
(06/25 20:42:54) Tai'lahr: You can be absolutedly certain of it, UberThend
(06/25 20:42:55) Saint Kip: is there any idea of the companies that would sponser uru?
(06/25 20:42:56) UberThend: Thank you Cate
(06/25 20:42:58) AKA: so as it stands now, Cate, who is the leader of the DRC?
(06/25 20:43:02) Cate Alexander: And remember, no decision has been made.
(06/25 20:43:02) Justin: how bout Ads on URU live.com, and DRCsit, that way they don't ruin uru!
(06/25 20:43:06) Erik: Thank you for letting us know.
(06/25 20:43:08) Cate Alexander: It is only discussion.
(06/25 20:43:09) Solita: Thank You Cate!
(06/25 20:43:17) Pryftan: Thanks for sharing an unpopular idea with us.. takes some guts!

(06/25 20:43:28) Justin: bye
(06/25 20:43:29) Tai'lahr: Will the DRC be discussing this topic with the explorers on the DRC site?
(06/25 20:43:30) T'layeh: Thanks for coming Cate
(06/25 20:43:33) Justin: good luck with sharper

(06/25 20:44:19) Pryftan: Anyone get a log?
(06/25 20:44:20) Tai'lahr thinks Klarren is a little unhappy.
(06/25 20:44:28) Sti 'in: is cate still here?
(06/25 20:44:29) Mar'ith imagines McDonald's Bahro Burger ads around the city

(06/25 20:44:44) Whilyam: So, Blake. You're still here.
(06/25 20:44:45) Tai'lahr: D'nitos
(06/25 20:44:47) sil_oh_wet: Left*
(06/25 20:44:47) KL/\RREN: Unhappy? i have no more words...
(06/25 20:44:50) To ireenquench: wau das war viel , zu viel
(06/25 20:44:53) TomahnaGuy: sorry had to go afk. what were cates loast words here?
(06/25 20:44:54) Whilyam: What's your opinion on all this?
(06/25 20:44:54) Ewilan: is cyan really missing money that much
(06/25 20:44:59) Ewilan is worried
(06/25 20:45:01) Jazz: I'd rather have ads than no Uru
(06/25 20:45:02) Justin: i don't want ads in the cavern :(
(06/25 20:45:04) lightkeeper: Klarren don't worry yert
(06/25 20:45:07) d'ni everything: they are already running tv ads in NYC
(06/25 20:45:09) Sti 'in: Who would like to go to one of the pod ages with me??
(06/25 20:45:13) ireenquench: Yes, Blake, can you commetnt on all this? That'd be interesting.
(06/25 20:45:14) lightkeeper: *uyet

(06/25 20:45:19) lightkeeper: Ikes!
(06/25 20:45:19) TomahnaGuy: Blake do you have anyhing to tell us today? :)
(06/25 20:45:30) Blake: This is Cate's job now
(06/25 20:45:40) D'ean: same here, i would prefer ads over no cavern
(06/25 20:45:43) Dragonia: to put ad's in the cavern?
(06/25 20:45:44) Blake: I'm just here to observe
(06/25 20:45:44) TomahnaGuy: but you still work for GameTao OOC
(06/25 20:45:45) UberThend: I f we don't have enough funding, and you don't want ads, then find a way to drum up some business some other way on your own ;)
(06/25 20:45:49) TomahnaGuy: Tap
(06/25 20:45:58) Whilyam: You're the primary funder.
(06/25 20:45:58) Poseidon: so engberg is really gone now
(06/25 20:46:01) sil_oh_wet: i dont want to be idley threatened - if it's neccessary - fine - if not, then lets re=evaluate other options
(06/25 20:46:03) TomahnaGuy: please explin the funding situation to us in OOC terms
(06/25 20:46:11) d'ni everything: the cavern looks good on TV
(06/25 20:46:12) Ewilan: i'm not sure. guess it depends on the ads. but i HATE ads
(06/25 20:46:15) Justin: F they are not IN the cavern
(06/25 20:46:22) ireenquench: Okay Blake , so you're more in the background, she does communications. ?
(06/25 20:46:26) Whilyam: Are we really that close to shutting down the cavern?
(06/25 20:46:39) Justin: What/???????
(06/25 20:46:46) Sti 'in: :O
(06/25 20:46:47) KL/\RREN: if i want ads i can play second life...
(06/25 20:46:48) Ewilan: Cate said we're not about to close a least
(06/25 20:46:52) Justin: shutting down the cavern??????
(06/25 20:46:53) Justin: noooooooo
(06/25 20:46:56) Justin: noooooooooo
(06/25 20:46:59) Sti 'in: Noooooo
(06/25 20:46:59) Altydwarber: no cate did not say close to close
(06/25 20:47:02) d'ni everything: no they arent closing
(06/25 20:47:02) Sti 'in: Cant be
(06/25 20:47:02) Nadnerb: No, we're not close to shutting down anything.
(06/25 20:47:03) Illuvatar: Whilyam, she said "we are not close to c;osomg the cavern"
(06/25 20:47:03) Justin: They can't shut it down!!!!
(06/25 20:47:04) Sti 'in: So many people
(06/25 20:47:05) Justin: noooo
(06/25 20:47:08) Whilyam: Close enough.
(06/25 20:47:16) d'ni everything: silly talk
(06/25 20:47:21) Whilyam: So, Blake?
(06/25 20:47:22) ireenquench: Justin, please you make me all panicky.
(06/25 20:47:24) Nadnerb: we're only looking for ways to spped things up.
(06/25 20:47:26) Justin: Why do they need adds?
(06/25 20:47:26) UberThend: Klarren, we can all do our part to get the word out on the surface then, step up efforts, if ads are that distasteful
(06/25 20:47:41) Pryftan: Well apparently people think everyone will jump ship if they do what they need to do to survive
(06/25 20:47:43) Whilyam: ...
(06/25 20:47:47) Justin: Can't we keep ads on the DRC sit and rur live .com
(06/25 20:47:51) Pryftan: With that attitude maybe we are screwed.
(06/25 20:47:54) KL/\RREN: thts cyan/GT's part
(06/25 20:47:56) Poseidon: ads = more money = more employees = more content
(06/25 20:47:56) Justin: That would b fine right?
(06/25 20:48:05) D'ean: hey, if ads allows funding for more DRC members to help restore... i'm all for it!
(06/25 20:48:10) Sti 'in waves hello
(06/25 20:48:11) Songe: they are not really advertising teh fact that URU live is about - I only found out by chnace
(06/25 20:48:12) Justin: Ah i se Poseidon
(06/25 20:48:16) Poseidon nods his head
(06/25 20:48:17) UberThend: You don't seem to agree with how they will do it though, within their own means
(06/25 20:48:21) Whilyam: I guess that's a "no comment" ...
(06/25 20:48:24) d'ni everything: Im sure she is talking about something unobtusive
(06/25 20:48:24) Justin: Anyway tata
(06/25 20:48:29) sil_oh_wet: i wouldnt mind walking around with a can of Diet Pepsi in my hand once in a while, that is if my hands actually worked
(06/25 20:48:37) Illuvatar: Lol sil
(06/25 20:48:41) Poseidon: if ands means more content.... im all for it
(06/25 20:48:41) Pryftan: haha.
(06/25 20:48:44) Pryftan: Agreed.
(06/25 20:48:46) Sti 'in: :P
(06/25 20:48:50) KL/\RREN: ok, i play uru with ads, but won't pay for it anymore!!
(06/25 20:48:51) Sti 'in: Me too
(06/25 20:48:52) Poseidon: just as long as they are in-obtrusive
(06/25 20:49:09) Mar'ith: as long as the ads are tasteful, fit wll with the d'ni textures and aren't in all ages then it may be ok
(06/25 20:49:13) KL/\RREN: with adds it should be free
(06/25 20:49:16) Mar'ith: *well
(06/25 20:49:17) d'ni everything: McDonalds and Starbucks
(06/25 20:49:18) Sti 'in waves hello
(06/25 20:49:23) d'ni everything: hee hee
(06/25 20:49:25) Pryftan: Klarren cable isn't free either
(06/25 20:49:26) ireenquench: So... just to recap... she says she is replacing Engberg. With some help of ResEngs.
(06/25 20:49:27) peni: i will go along with whatever they decide. (have decided)
(06/25 20:49:28) sil_oh_wet: Mmmm cofffeee
(06/25 20:49:34) Mar'ith: McDonalds Bahro Burgers
(06/25 20:49:45) Poseidon: she is now a full member of the council as well
(06/25 20:49:49) d'ni everything: CHOCOLATE
(06/25 20:49:53) Poseidon: and they let engberg go
(06/25 20:49:54) ireenquench: Which Marie disagreed with... cate now being on the council.
(06/25 20:49:55) leeloo: oui moi aussi
(06/25 20:49:57) TomahnaGuy: did Blake explain the funding: I was afk
(06/25 20:49:58) UberThend: Squee Dog stands in Ae'gura
(06/25 20:49:58) leeloo: oops
(06/25 20:50:03) ABguy: Once you open that door, its hard to go back. IF we have adds in the cavern the place will loose something... Rationalize it how you want but thats the bottom line.
(06/25 20:50:08) sil_oh_wet: they let Engberg go?
(06/25 20:50:10) KL/\RREN: they let us all go
(06/25 20:50:20) Sti 'in: Selling relto pages :P
(06/25 20:50:25) UberThend: Ab, what would you propose then?
(06/25 20:50:39) Songe: Coke bottle on relto?
(06/25 20:50:48) TomahnaGuy: I think we should vote. Raise your hans with /askquestion if you approve of ads in the main Aegura?
(06/25 20:50:50) d'ni everything: silly - to get worried about a logo on a shirt or a poster
(06/25 20:50:52) UberThend: Proactively, not reactively
(06/25 20:50:54) TomahnaGuy wants to ask a question...
(06/25 20:50:59) Pryftan wants to ask a question...
(06/25 20:51:02) Songe wants to ask a question...
(06/25 20:51:03) Illuvatar wants to ask a question...
(06/25 20:51:04) KL/\RREN: TG please
(06/25 20:51:04) Sti 'in wants to ask a question...
(06/25 20:51:07) Poseidon: ill take a pepsi machine in my relto =)
(06/25 20:51:09) Reva wants to ask a question...
(06/25 20:51:11) Mar'ith wants to ask a question...
(06/25 20:51:14) Arwen Gemstone: starbucks where kahlo pub is?

(06/25 20:51:19) Kimmie wants to ask a question...
(06/25 20:51:19) Sti 'in: But not too much
(06/25 20:51:20) TomahnaGuy: sorry but tthis is the best way to find out
(06/25 20:51:23) Dragonia wants to ask a question...
(06/25 20:51:26) Sti 'in: Ads
(06/25 20:51:38) peni: i don't mine D'nitos
(06/25 20:51:38) Sti 'in wants to ask a question...
(06/25 20:51:38) Ewilan: so they can bck up cyan, and must if needed
(06/25 20:51:52) ireenquench: She said they stopped searching for him a while ago... and will not keep his position open for him anymore... instead Cate moves into the Council with her "business expetise" ...and Marie disagreed with that and might tell her more about her reasoning. If we can get a hold of her.
(06/25 20:52:03) Poseidon: are there going to be the "click here to make your **** bigger" adverts?
(06/25 20:52:09) UberThend: thanks ireen
(06/25 20:52:12) Paulll50: you can't here me unless I shout right?
(06/25 20:52:13) KL/\RREN: Lol
(06/25 20:52:18) Dragonia says DOH!
(06/25 20:52:18) Pryftan: They can do it tastefully. We need to trust Cate. We have no other choice.
(06/25 20:52:21) TomahnaGuy: what if like Cate says this is the only way to secure funding? What would we do thgen?
(06/25 20:52:26) UberThend: Poseidon, I'd draw the line around there lol
(06/25 20:52:38) Poseidon roars with laughter
(06/25 20:52:44) KL/\RREN: no other choice? we have
(06/25 20:52:48) Illuvatar: I want uru to live, no matter what it takes
(06/25 20:52:56) Ewilan: from an OOC point of view, gametap is the solution
(06/25 20:52:58) Jazz: Same here
(06/25 20:53:01) ABguy: Im sure there are solutions besides Ads in game, at the moment I havent' put alot of thought into it... but if worse comes to worse UU may have to return
(06/25 20:53:04) peni: we will do what we need to do like we always have
(06/25 20:53:04) TomahnaGuy: if there IS no toher choice then i must support this IC: for the city: and OOC for Cyan and uru!
(06/25 20:53:09) UberThend: Klarren, as in leaving or actually assisting?
(06/25 20:53:18) Sti 'in: Yep!
(06/25 20:53:23) Pryftan: I mean there is no other choice but to trust Cate.
(06/25 20:53:35) Dragonia: no pop-ups and I'll be happy
(06/25 20:53:36) Pryftan: They will only put up ads if it is absolutely necessaru.
(06/25 20:53:37) TomahnaGuy: I trust Cate.
(06/25 20:53:41) Sti 'in: Not to u ub er
(06/25 20:53:44) Pryftan: In that sense, they should do it.
(06/25 20:53:48) leeloo: for me the best way would be to sell the explorers products, i have a dn'i games mug, I would buy another d'ni mug anyday
(06/25 20:53:49) Illuvatar: If i loose uru, gametap loses me
(06/25 20:53:50) KL/\RREN: i play uru from the beginning, but this is it. i love this game, but with ads i will hate it.. so i must leave
(06/25 20:54:04) Poseidon: and no "pop up" adds either.....
(06/25 20:54:09) TomahnaGuy: Pehapse Jalak will have the first sign of ads?
(06/25 20:54:14) Paulll50: I love it to
(06/25 20:54:16) Mar'ith: i'm only using gametap for uru
(06/25 20:54:20) Poseidon: be in relto and have an add pop up.....
(06/25 20:54:21) Songe would like a set of mugs
(06/25 20:54:22) Dragonia: Jalak?
(06/25 20:54:35) Mar'ith would like some t-shirts
(06/25 20:54:38) peni: i can cope with whatever comes along
(06/25 20:54:42) TomahnaGuy: Jalak is the newly scheduled Dni agmes arena
(06/25 20:54:44) Dragonia cringes
(06/25 20:54:49) Paulll50: hi peni
(06/25 20:54:54) TomahnaGuy: I hope the "games" dont involve fighting though :(
(06/25 20:54:57) Dragonia: thx
(06/25 20:55:00) Songe: Bingo ?
(06/25 20:55:01) peni: hiya Paul :)
(06/25 20:55:11) Mar'ith: poker?
(06/25 20:55:21) TomahnaGuy: lets just say anything but that :)
(06/25 20:55:30) Mar'ith: lol
(06/25 20:55:33) Pryftan: Honestly, I'd prefer an ad-free cavern, but anybody who leaves because of them was only partially interested anyway and the community can do without them.
(06/25 20:55:34) Ewilan feels sad and worried
(06/25 20:55:37) ABguy: I hate to say it but I don't know if I have seen enough to be happy with ads just yet... Opening ages that would ad a new dimension to the game would intise me to put up with it... but if I had to put up with it for what I have seen so far IM with Klarren...
(06/25 20:55:39) Songe: Ping pong
(06/25 20:55:42) TomahnaGuy: now im going to step down from this podium before I seem like n overlord :P
(06/25 20:55:57) Ewilan: lol
(06/25 20:56:07) UberThend: lol
(06/25 20:56:12) Marcello: I think pretty black or white about this
(06/25 20:56:35) To ireenquench: wollen die wieder offline addons machen ??
(06/25 20:56:40) TomahnaGuy: Cates news was pretty shocking
(06/25 20:56:40) Marcello: Either without ads and like how it's going now or with ads and a major, major improvement in the nr of ages and interaction
(06/25 20:56:44) Dragonia: I can see blimps flying around the city with blinking ads like Blade Runner
(06/25 20:56:49) Poseidon: lets vote....
(06/25 20:56:52) Songe: Cool
(06/25 20:56:54) TomahnaGuy: agreed.
(06/25 20:56:56) Marcello: Something in the middle won't work I think
(06/25 20:56:56) Ewilan: i don't want have the ads when gametap have the money to make it be without
(06/25 20:57:05) Poseidon: who doesnt mind ads if they are un-intrusive?
(06/25 20:57:05) ABguy: Right
(06/25 20:57:10) Sti 'in: who wants to go to a pod age with me???
(06/25 20:57:12) Ewilan: i'm not paying 14 dollard / months for noting
(06/25 20:57:16) Sti 'in:
(06/25 20:57:18) From ireenquench: neine
(06/25 20:57:18) UberThend: Where'd you hear that Ewilan?
(06/25 20:57:18) TomahnaGuy: if it me or is the room getting progressively dimmer?
(06/25 20:57:21) TomahnaGuy: () ()
(06/25 20:57:22) TomahnaGuy: __
(06/25 20:57:22) D'ean: i don't mind *raises hand*
(06/25 20:57:24) To ireenquench: ah gut
(06/25 20:57:27) Jazz: I don't mind ads if it means keeping Uru alive
(06/25 20:57:28) Pryftan: Gametap has more concerns than just Uru.
(06/25 20:57:35) sil_oh_wet: They are trying to save on power
(06/25 20:57:35) Poseidon: i dont mind either
(06/25 20:57:39) Ewilan: gametap, is turner, big huge full of money company
(06/25 20:57:45) Dragonia nods her head
(06/25 20:57:45) From ireenquench: sie diskutieren werbung in den hoehlen
(06/25 20:57:52) Mar'ith: they could have 2 fees - one without ads and one with ads but cheaper
(06/25 20:57:57) Marcello: I'm afraid we are not hte kinda crowd that can be targeted by this kinda advertising
(06/25 20:57:58) Poseidon: ok.... now who is completely opposed to all adds whatsoever?
(06/25 20:58:03) To ireenquench: oje
(06/25 20:58:07) Ewilan: I am
(06/25 20:58:08) Marcello: there is nothing to be gained
(06/25 20:58:13) URU_Plum: is gametap squeezing cyan?
(06/25 20:58:14) Songe: But they aren't going to pay to keep agame going for a few diehards
(06/25 20:58:16) ABguy: I understand the business end of it guys... but I don't agree, I vote down.
(06/25 20:58:20) Songe: We need more ppl
(06/25 20:58:20) Rheanna: I am against adds
(06/25 20:58:21) Marcello: depends on where and how it's done
(06/25 20:58:22) Sti 'in: nobody responding to me...:(
(06/25 20:58:24) TomahnaGuy: GameTap could put a LOT more funding in. But I supporty GameTap and Cyan and if it comes down to ads then so be it as long as they arent to obvious
(06/25 20:58:34) Poseidon: it is 5 to 5
(06/25 20:58:39) Rheanna: and there is other choices
(06/25 20:58:48) Poseidon: anyone else... want to vote
(06/25 20:58:50) ABguy: GameTap is fine... but GameTap isn't the reason Uru is really here... its US.
(06/25 20:58:58) Pryftan: Gametap saved Cyan
(06/25 20:58:58) TomahnaGuy: yes, we are a long way from a unanimous decision and there are many more options to eb considered.
(06/25 20:58:59) ireenquench: I just talked to Blake. Business wise he personally has moved on away from the restoration to other endeavours. He said his heart will always remain in D'ni though. He said I was allowed to tell this to you.
(06/25 20:59:02) <sniffle> Sti 'in is sad
(06/25 20:59:07) UberThend: Uru came back because of grass-roots efforts, now it has changed to a more business structure, the only way to quell the tide here is to re-visit becoming grass-roots again, but that is a lot of work, unless undertaken, then ads are a necessarycompromise
(06/25 20:59:12) Nine-O-Nine: 5 to 5.... and there is WAAAAAYYYyyyy more then 10 people..... good vote :-)
(06/25 20:59:18) Poseidon: seems like a split crowd..... yikes
(06/25 20:59:19) darkstar: Ewilan unfortunately business doesnt work that way, doesn't matter how big Turner is Gametap have to stand on there own and make money for Turner If they don't Turner will just close them down
(06/25 20:59:29) Pryftan: I'm for ads, I voted the first time but not the second.
(06/25 20:59:46) UberThend: Thank you very much, ireen
(06/25 20:59:50) Rheanna: and this has never been a democracy
(06/25 20:59:50) Poseidon: someone go start a poll on MOUL
(06/25 20:59:51) Mar'ith: i'm for ads if they are unobtrusive
(06/25 21:00:00) Ewilan: well gametap isn"t gonna get ANY for my money by actiing like this
(06/25 21:00:06) Poseidon: now... lol, i need to know
(06/25 21:00:10) Dragonia: I don't mind ads in a certain area but no pop-ups
(06/25 21:00:16) darkstar: acting like what?
(06/25 21:00:22) Pryftan: Look Gametap saved Cyan
(06/25 21:00:25) Marcello: what about when starting and closing the game, but not during
(06/25 21:00:33) Pryftan: They don't have incentive to keep flooding money into Cyan
(06/25 21:00:34) Songe: Goo idea
(06/25 21:00:38) Pryftan: Cyan needs to stand on their own
(06/25 21:00:41) Miranna: i only just got to the age players. I am totoally against ads in uru. AGAINST with all my heart and being ! ! ! ! !
(06/25 21:00:42) Marcello: "Coming soon on Gametap"
(06/25 21:00:44) TomahnaGuy: I dont need to say that the funding situation is poor but based oin Cates speech today, id say this is going on its last limb. GameTap was made for bringing back dead games. GameTap needto rethink their business model and help fund uru once again. With or without advertisement in the cavern!
(06/25 21:00:45) KL/\RREN: believe me.. ads won't help us.
(06/25 21:00:45) Pryftan: Gametap can do without us
(06/25 21:00:47) Poseidon: i dont mind ads during the loading screens....
(06/25 21:00:47) Sti 'in cries
(06/25 21:00:48) Ewilan: what point in saving cyan to screw it up after ?
(06/25 21:00:48) ireenquench: So i guess he'll be a mere visitor like us from now on. Said its all cates business now. he is not involved anymore.
(06/25 21:00:49) dEZMiTE: Marcello has a point
(06/25 21:00:56) <sniffle> Sti 'in is sad
(06/25 21:00:59) Maratanos: look If Cate is talking about it, it won't be popups, because those are not IC. Period
(06/25 21:00:59) Mar'ith: they could be instead of the black "linking" screen which we get a lot of these days
(06/25 21:01:04) <sniffle> Sti 'in is sad
(06/25 21:01:06) Poseidon: just not in any of the physical locations
(06/25 21:01:10) Pryftan: Gametap isn't doing anythign to screw them up.. Cyan's trying to stand on their own feet
(06/25 21:01:33) TomahnaGuy: yes pryftan
(06/25 21:01:36) Miranna: We can design shrts, mugs, anything and sell them on the surface. that would promote more money than plying us with nasty ads all over our beautiful uru
(06/25 21:01:37) dEZMiTE: put in the ads while loading. Like the Steam Network does.
(06/25 21:01:40) Pryftan: It'd be Cyan's decision to put ads in the cavern
(06/25 21:01:42) Marcello: And what about the loading screens?
(06/25 21:02:29) ...Chat.log stopped.
