[09:08:34] Shep (shep.titian): Go for it!
[09:08:42] Lilith Ivory nods

[09:10:52] Lilith Ivory: oh sorry to hear that
[09:11:14] Shep (shep.titian): Aww sorry about that .. sure you're ok to go on?
[09:11:22] Rosie Gray: yes
[09:11:25] Rosie Gray: thanks ㋡
[09:11:28] Rosie Gray: just a little slow
[09:11:32] Shep (shep.titian): yw
[09:12:05] Rosie Gray: does anyone have any comments about the first question there? anything to add?
[09:12:47] Rosie Gray: you'll note that we only had 22 responses to the survey
[09:13:06] Trebor Warcliffe: Yes:(
[09:13:18] Lilith Ivory nods
[09:13:45] Rosie Gray: and that 13 people thought we should proceed with a purchase... 3 said no
[09:14:13] Shep (shep.titian): However countries become independant on less
[09:14:46] Rosie Gray: less than 13 .... do they?
[09:15:08] Rosie Gray: anyway, we can proceed assuming that the decision is to purchase a sim
[09:15:16] Rosie Gray: otherwise there's no point in us talking about it
[09:15:17] Rosie Gray: lol
[09:15:21] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: Why not do a referendum.
[09:15:25] Mrs Anna Oxygen (annabel.coveria) is online.
[09:16:00] Shep (shep.titian): lol
[09:16:04] Rosie Gray: now, about the themes
[09:16:42] Rosie Gray: anyone have anything to add to the themes topic? It did seem to bring up some different ideas
[09:16:47] Shep (shep.titian): I would take it as a vote of confidence that they are happy with the rest deciding
[09:16:55] Trebor Warcliffe: Yes I agree Shep
[09:17:26] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: I would think a referendum would give all the citizens a voice.
[09:17:30] Trebor Warcliffe: Rosie I think it really depends on how many sims we start with.
[09:17:37] Shep (shep.titian): Well I voted carribean/pirate
[09:17:39] Rosie Gray: all the citizens had a voice on the survey
[09:17:42] Mrs Anna Oxygen (annabel.coveria) is offline.
[09:17:44] Trebor Warcliffe: Yes they did
[09:17:50] Lilith Ivory: well, all citizens had a chance to fill this survey
[09:17:51] Trebor Warcliffe: With plenty of notice
[09:18:08] Rosie Gray: and now we are here to gather any more ideas
[09:18:10] Trebor Warcliffe: You can lead a horse to water but you can't force it to drink
[09:18:27] Trebor Warcliffe: In my opinion Rosie
[09:18:46] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: Realistic Roman.
[09:18:55] Trebor Warcliffe: If we go with one Full SIm the logical choice would be to wrap up the original 5 by going with NFS East
[09:18:57] MystiTool HUD 1.3.1: Entering chat range: josjoha Resident (4m)
[09:19:10] Rosie Gray: is everyone aware of the original plans for the sims?

[09:19:49] Lilith Ivory: cool Avie
[09:19:55] Trebor Warcliffe: The original plans are outdated Rosie
[09:19:57] Rosie Gray: I think that the original plan was to make another NFS sim, Trebor
[09:20:00] Shep (shep.titian): Hi Jos
[09:20:02] Trebor Warcliffe: and they only cover 5 themes
[09:20:18] Shep (shep.titian): ooooh oven ready
[09:20:20] Trebor Warcliffe: Most of which arent popular as they once were.
[09:20:21] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: Saint Augustine ?
[09:20:26] Lilith Ivory: I´d go for NFS east
[09:20:46] Rosie Gray: I like the idea of filling in that sim as well
[09:20:49] Shep (shep.titian): Why do we have to be boring
[09:20:52] Trebor Warcliffe: For the first one out the gate I agree with Lilith as I mentioned earlier the logiacl choice is NFS East
[09:21:15] Trebor Warcliffe: That would at least wrap up the original plans of CDS
[09:21:18] Rosie Gray: well a new sim would have to blend and compliment what is already here

[09:23:11] Rosie Gray: any more thoughts?

[09:26:23] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: Greek then ! is second choice.
[09:26:27] Rosie Gray: but only 1 Bavarian sim, so another would give it equal status with the others
[09:26:43] Mrs Anna Oxygen (annabel.coveria) is online.
[09:26:51] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: true rosie.
[09:26:53] Timo Gufler: would the Bavarian sim be like NFS inner or outer city?

[09:27:53] Shep (shep.titian): Hi Ed
[09:27:56] Timo Gufler: Hi Edward
[09:28:02] Lilith Ivory: Hi Bagheera
[09:28:07] Trebor Warcliffe: the logical choice would be to either have NFS East be all in city walls or the other choice would be to make it similar to the current NFS.
[09:28:11] Clara Scanlan (clara.farslider) is online.
[09:28:15] Trebor Warcliffe: The good thing is we make it a double prim
[09:28:21] Trebor Warcliffe: with small parcels
[09:28:31] Rosie Gray: yes good idea about the double prim
[09:28:34] Trebor Warcliffe: similar to current NFS with better prims
[09:28:41] Mrs Anna Oxygen (annabel.coveria) is offline.
[09:28:42] Lilith Ivory nods
[09:28:52] Trebor Warcliffe: By building NFS East you conclude the original sims
[09:28:56] Rosie Gray: and I personally like the idea of some inside walls, and some outside, as the current on e is
[09:29:03] Rosie Gray nods
[09:29:03] Trebor Warcliffe: Than as we expand we can move onto other themes
[09:29:28] Trebor Warcliffe: right now it would look funny to expand say off of LA when we have NFS just sitting there
[09:29:42] Rosie Gray: obviously if we did NFS east, it would be a full sim
[09:30:07] Bagheera Kristan: raises hand higher
[09:30:15] Trebor Warcliffe: Yes and it allows us some opportunity for public builds
[09:30:20] Rosie Gray: yes Bags?
[09:30:23] Lilith Ivory: and the costs for a puchase might be lower when buying on second market
[09:30:33] Rosie Gray: we aren't being that formal, you can just talk
[09:30:38] Bagheera Kristan: okay, this is just me - but I do want to say my opinion, okay
[09:30:49] Trebor Warcliffe: yes please do Bags
[09:30:59] Rosie Gray nods
[09:31:13] Bagheera Kristan: I have a concern for chosing sim design that is too rigid and I had been thinking...
[09:31:42] Bagheera Kristan: I need to add the caveat that for me, personally, I don't like the Bavarian theme much - but that is personal... that said
[09:31:45] Bagheera Kristan: How popular is the Bavarian sim compared to others?
[09:32:03] Trebor Warcliffe: It has historically been a fully owned sim
[09:32:04] Rosie Gray: it's verypopular
[09:32:10] Bagheera Kristan: and I had been thinking a Venice theme at some point might tie all the sims together because it is very ecelectic
[09:32:13] Trebor Warcliffe: very little vacancy
[09:32:20] Bagheera Kristan: okay, then it is IS just me - okay, nevermind
[09:32:26] Timo Gufler has home in the Baverian sim
[09:32:31] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: is that the theme? or the size of the pllots? id say the latter.
[09:32:44] Rosie Gray: here's my thought about NFS east... because I agree it is a bit restrictive
[09:32:46] Trebor Warcliffe: Thats not saying we want to build 6 Bavarian sims but the logical choicev is to close up NFS
[09:32:58] Lilith Ivory: I´d love to have venice sometimes but imo it makes more sense to start with NFS east
[09:33:07] Bagheera Kristan: okay I just wanted to speak my mind thanks for listening
[09:33:24] Rosie Gray: that we have the NFS east within the walls, but allow some modern buildings
[09:33:29] WhiteRose Irata is online.
[09:33:34] Trebor Warcliffe: modern how?
[09:33:39] Timo Gufler: huh
[09:33:40] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: Kim Rongyu had no idea there was a survey . She wants modern italy for the record.
[09:33:52] Lilith Ivory: I´d be fine without modern buildings also hehe
[09:34:10] Lilith Ivory: hard enough to keep the covenant with one time period
[09:34:11] Rosie Gray: make it like an extension of the Medieval bavarian, but some modern, just as a real town
[09:34:40] josjoha: maybe not bad for diversity
[09:34:44] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: explain lilith
[09:35:07] Edward Ballinger: it appears CDS is going towards a Heinz57 identity
[09:35:17] Rosie Gray: not really Edward
[09:35:18] josjoha: can also do a 1900 timezone, not quite modern, not that old
[09:35:27] Rosie Gray: true, Jos
[09:35:27] Trebor Warcliffe: Arent "modern day" bavarian builds reflective of the original Bavarian builds?
[09:35:42] Rosie Gray: I would think so, Trebor
[09:35:44] Edward Ballinger: you're going to be able to go through how many centuries in six sims?
[09:35:48] Rosie Gray: they would still have to fit the theme
[09:35:49] Lilith Ivory: NFS as we have it now was defined as Miedeaval + Bauhaus buildings
[09:36:03] Mrs Anna Oxygen (annabel.coveria) is online.
[09:36:22] Shep (shep.titian): Bauhaus was'nt that long ago
[09:36:26] josjoha: if it's going to be a new timezone, you may attract a new market of citizens
[09:36:26] Rosie Gray: we'd still have to redo the Schloss
[09:36:32] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: My opinon is NFS stays sold because and only because the plots r small.

[09:37:09] Rosie Gray: lots of people like the bavarian theme
[09:37:11] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: yes jos !
[09:37:12] Trebor Warcliffe: That is one of hte reasons Cleo but I also feel the theme itself is and has been quite popular.
[09:37:13] Rosie Gray: it's a little different
[09:37:14] Lilith Ivory: I´d like to see small plots in NFS east also
[09:37:21] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: how do you know Rosie ? explain.
[09:37:21] Trebor Warcliffe: Yes Lilith
[09:37:27] Trebor Warcliffe: small plots double prim
[09:37:41] Mrs Anna Oxygen (annabel.coveria) is offline.
[09:37:48] Trebor Warcliffe: I'd ALMOST say nothing larger than 256sqm
[09:37:53] Lilith Ivory: the small plots in CN don´t sell as good
[09:37:53] Callipygian Christensen: praying that you stay connected Bells?
[09:37:54] josjoha: there is this whole ' steampunk' thing going around that fwik
[09:37:58] Edward Ballinger: Bauhaus was from the end of WWI until 1933
[09:38:05] Rosie Gray: hehehe
[09:38:26] Rosie Gray: Bauhaus is kind of interesting
[09:38:30] Bells Semyorka laughs, I'm wishing I didnt see one person. LOL, whoops wrong sit
[09:38:34] Rosie Gray: wouldn't like to see it all like that though

[09:39:04] Rosie Gray: what is that, Jos?
[09:39:23] josjoha: uhm, i guess have to look it up on the Internet, it is with curles and stuff, a bit faerie
[09:39:28] Edward Ballinger: if a plot is 256 sqm, how much of that can be built on?
[09:39:29] josjoha: it's a well known German style
[09:39:37] Shep (shep.titian): I found Bauhaus bleak
[09:39:39] Rosie Gray: aah
[09:39:42] Lilith Ivory: art nouveau
[09:39:50] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: nfs is sold but not busy usually
[09:39:53] Trebor Warcliffe: Ed with a double prim sim its 117 prims
[09:39:57] josjoha: Bauhous is this cubic thing right ? together with Jugendstil you could balance it out
[09:40:05] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: when we were in showcase they showed up and left
[09:40:11] Edward Ballinger: I mean, can they build on all of the plot, or just 60%?
[09:40:24] Trebor Warcliffe: The current NFS has it on all the plot
[09:40:31] Trebor Warcliffe: Sort of a dense feel to it
[09:40:31] Rosie Gray: it's not the same covenants as the roman sims, Edward
[09:40:35] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: and small also means cheap, so if you do small expensive ones.. they wont sell as well either. in my opinion
[09:40:58] Bells Semyorka: please something different than Roman
[09:41:00] Edward Ballinger: 16X16m
[09:41:08] Trebor Warcliffe: L$3 per sqm for the purchase of a double prim parcel is not expensive
[09:41:11] Sazzy (sazzy.oh) is online.
[09:41:15] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: its the price. not the size is what i mean. cheap easy , thats why nfs sells to keep a citizenship

[09:41:17] josjoha: hi kitty Rain
[09:41:18] Rosie Gray: hello Rain
[09:41:22] Rain Ninetails: purr
[09:41:24] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: its twice 1.5 is all im saying.
[09:41:49] Trebor Warcliffe: yes it is and twice the prims also, thats why we keep the parcels small so they are affordable for purchase and tier
[09:41:50] Timo Gufler: Linden homes have bit over 100 prims and people like to live there
[09:42:15] Edward Ballinger: they have 512 sqm
[09:42:19] josjoha: i was just in an American country-side sim, we could do an 1800th steamy American country theme
[09:42:28] Timo Gufler: yeah
[09:42:44] Agnes Cecilia (agnes.sharple) is online.
[09:42:54] Trebor Warcliffe: josjoha eventually we are going to incorporate new themes into the CDS but first we have to finish what was started with the original 5
[09:42:58] Lilith Ivory: I´m not sure if a wild mix of themes would make us more popular
[09:42:59] Rosie Gray: we would need a water sim in between
[09:43:09] Rosie Gray: it wouldn't flow nicely otherwise
[09:43:10] josjoha: if we at least stay out of the 20th century, whatever we choose it will retain the historical aspect, which may be nice
[09:43:10] Timo Gufler: I think the look and low tiers are the primary things that make selling NFS parcel easy
[09:43:45] Udo Swashbuckler is offline.
[09:43:47] Mrs Anna Oxygen (annabel.coveria) is online.
[09:43:48] Rosie Gray: I agree, Timo
[09:43:50] Trebor Warcliffe: And Ed realistically we could have a handful of 512sqm parcels.
[09:44:03] josjoha: Lilith, maybe it should flow over a bit sensible, such as that NFS flows over into Roman with the whole meadow in between as a buffer
[09:44:15] Trebor Warcliffe: If we make NFS East all within city walls I would suggest it
[09:44:27] Bagheera Kristan: One thing, on a technical side, that makes CDS popular I am sure - is CDS is remarkably free of lag compared to most other areas I have been - I'd like to identify how we are doing that and make sure we keep doing it.
[09:44:38] Callipygian Christensen: I think Linden homes don't count the actual house prims against the residents total though - so not a totally accurate way to compare
[09:44:55] Bells Semyorka: that's right Calli
[09:44:57] Trebor Warcliffe: Bags unfortunatly we do that by not having many people in the sims at any one given time
[09:44:57] Timo Gufler: Linden homes have root prims outside of the parcels
[09:45:03] Shep (shep.titian): You;re right Calli
[09:45:17] Trebor Warcliffe: We crashed LA last night
[09:45:36] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: keep up the good work trebor.
[09:45:41] Trebor Warcliffe: thank you
[09:45:53] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: Why not do a referendum ?
[09:46:07] Trebor Warcliffe: We had over 100 individuals in and out of LA for yesterday's Ball
[09:46:12] Rosie Gray: why keep asking the same question, when it's been answered
[09:46:14] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: Then you get a lot of people
[09:46:29] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: everyone did not answer the survery or know about it .
[09:46:30] Trebor Warcliffe: 42 was the most at one time only because others were not able to teleport in
[09:46:36] Bells Semyorka what question. I am missing some chat
[09:46:42] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: sims have limits.
[09:46:43] Trebor Warcliffe: There was plenty of notice
[09:46:44] Satir DeCuir: I didnt even know there would be expansion
[09:46:45] Rosie Gray: ever;y citizehn had plenty of opportunity to do the survey
[09:47:01] Rosie Gray: if they choose not to participate, that is their choice
[09:47:04] Trebor Warcliffe: If people dont take the time to fill themselves in on information that is easily provided than thats to bad for them
[09:47:16] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: Everyone didnt know.
[09:47:23] Trebor Warcliffe: For them to come back and say "I didnt know about it" when it was well known is not our fault
[09:47:28] Rosie Gray: then they pay no attention to notices
[09:47:34] Bells Semyorka: there was notices and forums listings if this was about the expansion
[09:47:36] Trebor Warcliffe: What would you like us to do send a personal email to everyone?
[09:47:37] Rosie Gray: you can't babysit people
[09:47:58] Trebor Warcliffe: Hell they get personal emails to pay tier and they still dont pay their tier.
[09:48:02] Callipygian Christensen: The survey was posted on the forums, was anounced in in world group notices, mentioned in various transcripts of RA etc - people have to take *some* responsibility to stay informed
[09:48:22] Trebor Warcliffe: They know elections are held every six months yet onl y38 people voted for Chancellor out of close to 90 eligible people
[09:48:32] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: Ok i understand you do not want to wait.
[09:48:37] Trebor Warcliffe: So dont get me sstarted on thsi "they didnt knwo crap"
[09:49:19] Trebor Warcliffe: Im sick and tired of people standing on the sidelines and only wanting to participate when its something that benefits them or something there against
[09:49:39] Bells Semyorka nods
[09:49:43] Rosie Gray nods too
[09:49:47] Trebor Warcliffe: If you want to be involved than you make yourself involved
[09:49:51] josjoha: (let's get back to the sim design question..)
[09:49:58] Rosie Gray: yes, please
[09:50:14] Trebor Warcliffe: Sorry Jos yes lets get back to the point of why were here
[09:50:22] josjoha: ◕‿◕
[09:50:42] Satir DeCuir: but still no reply why not a vote lol
[09:50:43] Rosie Gray: also, there had been some discussion about purchasing more than 1 sim.... perhaps a second one for water
[09:50:50] Trebor Warcliffe: Are we pretty much in agreement that the logical choice for our first expansion should be NFS East?4
[09:50:53] Trill Zapatero is offline.
[09:50:57] Rosie Gray: we have a nice little port but no place to go
[09:50:58] Trebor Warcliffe: Yes there was Rosie
[09:51:04] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: No
[09:51:12] Trebor Warcliffe: I can expand on that idea a little bit if you'd lioke
[09:51:15] Trebor Warcliffe: like
[09:51:15] josjoha: 'm fine with NFS east, and it makes sense to fill that gap in the row of 5
[09:51:16] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: Can we vote.
[09:51:32] Trebor Warcliffe: We're not voting we're discussing
[09:51:43] Trebor Warcliffe: This is not an official government meeting
[09:52:01] Rosie Gray: we could take an informal vote
[09:52:01] Bells Semyorka giggles
[09:52:04] Rosie Gray: no harm in that
[09:52:06] Trebor Warcliffe: Its an exchange of ideas
[09:52:06] Edward Ballinger: shouldn't the vote include all citizens?
[09:52:13] josjoha: ok what we vote on
[09:52:26] Trebor Warcliffe: There is nothing to vote on yet people
[09:52:28] Rosie Gray: let's just have a count right now with who is here
[09:52:30] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: referendums. make a law you can do one mid term.
[09:52:40] Rosie Gray: who would agree to NFS east?
[09:52:43] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: so everyone can vote.
[09:52:43] Trebor Warcliffe: go on Rosie, my apologies
[09:52:45] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: nay
[09:52:45] Mrs Anna Oxygen (annabel.coveria) is offline.
[09:52:49] Timo Gufler: if we "voted" it would be just a poll
[09:52:51] josjoha: aye
[09:52:55] Trebor Warcliffe: aye
[09:52:58] Lilith Ivory: aye
[09:52:59] Rosie Gray: it is just a poll, yes
[09:53:02] Rosie Gray: and I vote aye
[09:53:03] Timo Gufler: aye
[09:53:06] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: agreed timo its a poll of who is present. not the citizens who care.
[09:53:29] josjoha: yes, informal poll is all : )
[09:53:30] Mrs Anna Oxygen (annabel.coveria) is online.
[09:53:43] Rosie Gray: anyone else voting nay?
[09:53:48] Trebor Warcliffe: Obviously the 14 citizens in attendance care
[09:53:52] josjoha: i see a majority who is ok with NFS east here, so we could explore that further
[09:54:01] Rosie Gray: yes, agreed
[09:54:06] Edward Ballinger: I don't think that given the proposed size of the parcels that it matters one way or another
[09:54:13] josjoha: whether that actually becomes it or not
[09:54:13] Bells Semyorka is abstaining from any informal poll since I'd like more information before giving an opinion
[09:54:14] Rosie Gray: and Trebor... you had something to say about the water sim idea?
[09:54:17] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: So , because Tor isnt here, he doesnt care ?
[09:54:26] Trebor Warcliffe: Explain Ed please
[09:54:26] Rosie Gray: he filled out the survey
[09:54:43] Shep (shep.titian): I also abstain
[09:54:54] Satir DeCuir: I dont agree neither desagree, but just feels like having other options open, altho yes I missed notices and dont check forums so its my fault on that too
[09:55:07] Trebor Warcliffe: Ed you had a comment or suggestion about parcel sizes? Please explain
[09:55:16] Edward Ballinger: if you sell parcels on which someone can build a 16X16home, you end with a box of a house without style in whatever time period
[09:55:34] Trebor Warcliffe: Can a 256sqm parcel be other than 16 x 16?
[09:55:43] Rosie Gray: where are you getting that measurement?
[09:55:45] Edward Ballinger: it can be 25.6X10
[09:55:58] Trebor Warcliffe: Let me ask you this than Ed.
[09:55:59] Rain Ninetails: 4's
[09:55:59] Edward Ballinger: 16 is the square root of 256
[09:56:08] Trebor Warcliffe: Lets say we keep them all under 512sqm
[09:56:16] Trebor Warcliffe: What type of a variety can we accomplish
[09:56:22] Lilith Ivory: imo those are details we can talk about later also
[09:56:29] Rosie Gray: I agree Lilith
[09:56:34] Lilith Ivory smiles
[09:56:36] Trebor Warcliffe: Its my understanding from Bags that all parcels have to be divisable by 4?
[09:56:43] Rosie Gray: we are looking at the broad stroke now, not the details
[09:56:43] Bagheera Kristan: yes
[09:57:03] Edward Ballinger: you're still limiting it to a functional space in which you basically have to step outside to change your mind
[09:57:20] Rain Ninetails: is it a snow sim? or the altitude is already defined?
[09:57:25] Trebor Warcliffe: Thats something we need to keep in mind than, thank you.
[09:57:48] Trebor Warcliffe: Rain the sim would be NFS East whcih is the completion of NFS
[09:58:05] Rosie Gray: if it is NFS east, then it is a mountain sim
[09:58:13] josjoha: NFS East would then be the existing Bavarian theme ?
[09:58:19] Trebor Warcliffe: yes
[09:58:20] Timo Gufler: naturally
[09:58:32] josjoha: ah ok, so the wall will loop around all
[09:58:40] Rosie Gray: or part of
[09:58:41] Trebor Warcliffe: it would allow us better city planning for both NFS and NFS East
[09:58:43] Rosie Gray: as it does now
[09:58:57] Rosie Gray: and to rebuild the Schloss
[09:59:06] Bells Semyorka: amen
[09:59:07] Rosie Gray: which sorely needs it
[09:59:11] josjoha: then i agree with Lilith that it's better to keep it the same time, which seems to be around 1800 or so
[09:59:14] Trebor Warcliffe: Rosie when you are ready I can expand on the idea about the water sims
[09:59:38] Rosie Gray: it was actually supposed to be medieval, Jos
[09:59:49] Lilith Ivory: Fachwerks are way older
[10:00:05] Lilith Ivory: I´ve lived in one build 1620
[10:00:13] josjoha: ah ok, 1800 villages also looked a lot like that i guess
[10:00:16] Trebor Warcliffe: In RL? Thats awesome
[10:00:20] Rosie Gray: yes, why don't you tell us about the water sims idea
[10:00:24] Lilith Ivory: yea )
[10:00:25] Rosie Gray: wow nice Lilith!
[10:00:54] Lilith Ivory: was an interesting experience
[10:01:03] Timo Gufler: sounds like those 1620 houses are very durable
[10:01:11] Rosie Gray: hehe
[10:01:15] Trebor Warcliffe: The CDS is unique in that we are able to have more than one main theme. Our democracy is what makes us the community
[10:01:23] josjoha: i would guess in a middle ages setting you would see a lot of absolute poverty and destitution, and your basic subsistance farming stuff everywhere
[10:01:25] Trebor Warcliffe: Homestead Water Sims
[10:01:31] Trebor Warcliffe: with islands
[10:01:42] Bells Semyorka: treasure island, aaarrg
[10:01:43] Trebor Warcliffe: would serve multiple purposes
[10:02:19] Trebor Warcliffe: one big purpose would be to serve as a buffer between our original sims and whatever new themese we take on
[10:02:21] josjoha: maybe we could do some of that in NFS-east, a number of med-eaval type farms with their equipments
[10:02:23] Lilith Ivory: I like the idea of a homestead with water and a few island parcels
[10:02:33] Trebor Warcliffe: lets say we want to explore some steampunk sims
[10:02:48] Lilith Ivory: you can make the parcels more than double prim so they don´t need to be too big
[10:02:48] Rosie Gray: or new world
[10:02:57] Trebor Warcliffe: well that buffer allows us to seperate the two groups but they're all under the umbrella of the CDS
[10:03:11] Trebor Warcliffe: yes Colonial America was an idea a few of us have talekd about
[10:03:25] Rosie Gray: that's a fun idea
[10:03:27] Trebor Warcliffe: Some of the early cities of USA
[10:03:34] Satir DeCuir: jamestown!
[10:03:35] Rosie Gray: it wasn't USA then
[10:03:48] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: St. Augustine
[10:03:49] Trebor Warcliffe: St. Augustine, Savanna Georgia, Boston, Philadelphia
[10:04:01] Rosie Gray: Montreal, St. John's
[10:04:04] Trebor Warcliffe: I know Rosie
[10:04:10] Trebor Warcliffe: North America
[10:04:12] Trebor Warcliffe: lol
[10:04:13] Bells Semyorka: im not feeling the colonial theme like visiting liberty square in Disney world
[10:04:13] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: St. Augustine was the first .
[10:04:14] Rosie Gray: yes, thank you
[10:04:20] Trebor Warcliffe: yes it was Cleo
[10:04:32] Trebor Warcliffe: the tricky part in my research is to find the right time period
[10:04:38] Trebor Warcliffe: like St. Augistine
[10:04:47] Rosie Gray has never heard of St. Augustine
[10:04:48] Trebor Warcliffe: really didnt look cool until about the 1800's
[10:04:56] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: I like it too, so its out.
[10:04:56] Trebor Warcliffe: even though it began in the 1600's
[10:05:05] Trebor Warcliffe: no its not out Cleo LOL
[10:05:10] Satir DeCuir: lol
[10:05:15] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: It was the first settlement in the USA
[10:05:21] Trebor Warcliffe: yes the very first
[10:05:27] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: has a cool fort
[10:05:31] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: on teh ocean
[10:05:34] Trebor Warcliffe: yup
[10:05:36] Satir DeCuir: does LL still keep the homestead for water, or they just have the 'normal' homesteads at 125 usd now?
[10:05:36] Rosie Gray: aah
[10:05:37] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: littel town
[10:05:39] Trebor Warcliffe: lot of history
[10:05:40] Edward Ballinger: it was spanish
[10:05:42] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: yes
[10:05:44] Karyan Gaea is offline.
[10:05:47] Trebor Warcliffe: the Fort could be a sandbox
[10:05:48] Rosie Gray: sounds lovely
[10:05:54] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: i t has had several contrtys control it
[10:05:58] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: a brige
[10:06:01] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: bridge
[10:06:05] Bagheera Kristan: don't say sandbox too loud, Rain is here (laughing)
[10:06:06] Lilith Ivory: imo homesteads can be whatever you want
[10:06:14] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: how many countries flew a flag over St. Augustine trebor
[10:06:16] Lilith Ivory: it´s the open Sims that need to be water
[10:06:18] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: bridge of lions..
[10:06:35] Trebor Warcliffe: Can you "DO" anythign with open sims though?
[10:06:43] Bagheera Kristan: St. Augustine was founded by Ponce de Leon, and then burned to ground by the English and rebuilt
[10:06:43] Lilith Ivory: sailing on them
[10:06:48] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: the fountain of youth is there that ponce de leon was looking for , just like sl
[10:06:51] Timo Gufler raises his eyebrows
[10:06:53] Rosie Gray: not much, they are meant mostly for scenics
[10:06:56] Satir DeCuir: but LL had a light homestead with lower cost, idk if they kept it
[10:07:05] Edward Ballinger: if youth tastes sulphurous, you can keep it
[10:07:07] Trebor Warcliffe: With a homestead island sims I can calculate it at about US$9.50 - 9.75 per 512sqm parcel to cover expenses
[10:07:34] Trebor Warcliffe: Currently MON is at US$10.12 per 512sqm
[10:07:39] Rosie Gray: you cannot have it broken in to 512 parcels
[10:07:44] Rosie Gray: not enough prims
[10:07:45] Trebor Warcliffe: I know that
[10:07:48] Rosie Gray: okay
[10:07:51] Trebor Warcliffe: but thats how I have to calculate tier
[10:07:52] Callipygian Christensen: Please keep in mind that homesteads have avatar limits..possibly script limits too
[10:07:54] Lilith Ivory: all I know is that prims on a homestead are slighly more expensive than at a full sim
[10:08:02] Trebor Warcliffe: yes true lil
[10:08:14] Trebor Warcliffe: to give you a quick comparison
[10:08:33] Trebor Warcliffe: right now NFS, and CN are US$3.25 per 512sqm
[10:08:44] Trebor Warcliffe: AM and LA US$6.50 per 512 sqm
[10:08:56] Trebor Warcliffe: and MON US$10.12 per 512sqm
[10:09:09] Timo Gufler: MON is a beautiful sim
[10:09:21] Trebor Warcliffe: yes it is
[10:09:34] Trebor Warcliffe: A good example of island sim is over at New Toulouse
[10:09:48] josjoha: from an American Colonies sim it's a small step to an American natives sim, which may be fun too
[10:09:50] Lilith Ivory: I agree as I live there
[10:09:55] Trebor Warcliffe: They seem to have calculated it out properly
[10:10:14] Trebor Warcliffe: Which is the template I worked off of for my plans
[10:10:21] Rain Ninetails: oo sorry, I'm mixed up with the map. Will it make CDS rectangular? 2x3 sims ?
[10:10:35] Lilith Ivory: I need to check that but the parcels are more than double prim
[10:10:45] Trebor Warcliffe: 8.0
[10:10:51] Lilith Ivory nods
[10:11:09] Trebor Warcliffe: You know me and numbers LOL
[10:11:12] Lilith Ivory: imo that´s a way clever idea
[10:11:20] Lilith Ivory giggles
[10:11:47] Trebor Warcliffe: If it was me I would place water/island sims on the borders of LA
[10:12:14] Lilith Ivory: those Islands might sell pretty good
[10:12:18] Trebor Warcliffe: Than you could do a little remodeling of LA to make use of the waterfront
[10:12:31] Trebor Warcliffe: and have a buffer in place for future expansion
[10:12:33] Lilith Ivory: maybe try with one Sim first and see how it works
[10:12:40] Rosie Gray: yes
[10:12:56] Trebor Warcliffe: Thats what I was thinking Lil one NFS East adn one Homestead water/island sim
[10:13:07] Lilith Ivory: I like this idea
[10:13:09] Rosie Gray: I like the idea of some water off of the port
[10:13:09] HonestHeart is online.
[10:13:17] Rosie Gray: I like it too
[10:13:18] Trebor Warcliffe: Any more than that to begin with and I think we'd stretch ourselves to thin as far as workers
[10:13:32] Rosie Gray: agreed
[10:13:42] Rosie Gray: not just workers.....
[10:13:51] Rosie Gray: finances and citizens too
[10:14:01] Trebor Warcliffe: citizens more than finances
[10:14:04] josjoha: byeee, have to go (rl meeting)
[10:14:13] Rosie Gray: bye Jos
[10:14:16] Bells Semyorka: Bye Jos
[10:14:17] Lilith Ivory: bye Jos
[10:14:19] Rosie Gray: I have to go shortly too
[10:14:20] Bells Semyorka: have a good one
[10:14:21] Edward Ballinger: bye Jos
[10:14:22] Timo Gufler: bye
[10:14:27] josjoha: g'luck
[10:14:35] Trebor Warcliffe: thankfully we are pretty solid financially which allows us to expand, not dragging feet mind you, but get work done without losing our asses
[10:14:39] Bagheera Kristan: I have to go too - sorry bye
[10:14:46] Rosie Gray: bye Bags
[10:14:51] Trebor Warcliffe: Whens the next meeting Rosie
[10:14:53] Bells Semyorka: Ciao Bags
[10:14:58] josjoha: bye Bagh
[10:15:01] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: me too !
[10:15:05] josjoha: bye Cleo
[10:15:09] josjoha: lol, the exodus has started
[10:15:12] Timo Gufler: Bya Bags and Cleo
[10:15:17] Lilith Ivory: bye Cleo
[10:15:18] josjoha: bye kitty
[10:15:25] josjoha is offline.
[10:15:25] Rain Ninetails: meow
[10:15:29] Trebor Warcliffe: Well Rosie said she had to go soon to and she is hte lead person on this
[10:15:53] Rosie Gray: I have another meeting time set for Friday at 4:00 pm
[10:15:58] Trebor Warcliffe: slt
[10:16:02] Rosie Gray: yes
[10:16:06] Trebor Warcliffe: ok
[10:16:15] Timo Gufler: that will be a night for Europeans
[10:16:30] Rosie Gray: that's the idea
[10:16:36] Edward Ballinger: ooooo
[10:16:39] Lilith Ivory: but a friday night
[10:16:40] Rosie Gray: catch a different time zone
[10:16:41] Timo Gufler: hmmmm
[10:16:48] Timo Gufler: yeah
[10:16:50] Rosie Gray: well there can be another meeting too
[10:16:58] Tuatha Shippe is online.
[10:17:03] Rosie Gray: if need be
[10:17:14] Lilith Ivory: I´m afraid we might need a lot of meetings to work our way through this survey
[10:17:24] Rosie Gray: at this rate, lol
[10:17:30] Lilith Ivory giggles
[10:17:34] Trebor Warcliffe: Well the survey is rather broad
[10:17:35] Timo Gufler: but rushing is never good
[10:17:41] Trebor Warcliffe: agreed
[10:17:56] Lilith Ivory nods
[10:18:00] Trebor Warcliffe: BUT we'd like to break the stereotype of the CDS takign FOREVER to get anythign done
[10:18:07] Timo Gufler: hehe
[10:18:10] Trebor Warcliffe: At least I know I do
[10:18:26] Lilith Ivory: no chance with NFS east as we are talking about this for years already ,-)
[10:18:37] Rosie Gray: we WOULD like to breat the stereotype!
[10:18:50] Timo Gufler: Decision about the Monastery sim took months and had a lot of fighting.... let's hope things could be smoother this time
[10:18:50] Callipygian Christensen: well, one way to move things along might be to come up wiht a descrition of the three most popular choices, then hold an unofficial referendum
[10:18:51] Trebor Warcliffe: But this is the New NFS East idea Lil
[10:18:53] Trebor Warcliffe: LOL
[10:19:18] MystiTool HUD 1.3.1: Entering chat range: Bells Semyorka (2m)
[10:19:22] Rosie Gray: well that's essentially what the survey did, calli
[10:19:30] Callipygian Christensen: you will never satisfy everyone, but that gets the broadest input and gives the most participation in the choice
[10:19:51] Callipygian Christensen: no, the survey said 'waht do you want'..I am talking 'here are the three options'
[10:20:04] Rosie Gray: it also gave the choices
[10:20:07] Trebor Warcliffe: I see the general consensus being NFS East and one water/island sim.
[10:20:17] Bells Semyorka: it also allowed you to give it choices
[10:20:20] Lilith Ivory: I don´t mind having a referendum
[10:20:24] Trebor Warcliffe: Than its just a matter of is everyoen happy with that decision
[10:20:32] Mrs Anna Oxygen (annabel.coveria) is offline.
[10:20:48] Trebor Warcliffe: Than we work out the details, get all of our ducks in a row and move forward
[10:20:53] Timo Gufler: referendum wouldn't be a bad idea
[10:21:02] Mrs Anna Oxygen (annabel.coveria) is online.
[10:21:09] Trebor Warcliffe: I agree but keep it simple,
[10:21:15] Lilith Ivory: while we keep discussing next election might come anyway
[10:21:20] Rosie Gray: lol
[10:21:22] Timo Gufler: lol
[10:21:26] Roselys Luminos is online.
[10:21:29] Lilith Ivory: just being realistic
[10:21:34] Rosie Gray: well... we can call for a referendum
[10:21:37] Trebor Warcliffe: Let me ask this than
[10:22:00] Trebor Warcliffe: Can we call a referendum for eveyones approval for NFS East and 1 island sim?
[10:22:13] Callipygian Christensen: exactly - you can have a dozen meetings, repeat yourselves over and over..someone *still* wont feel they were informed - so put together the 'here is what people seem to want , pick the one you support..and get it done
[10:22:30] Trebor Warcliffe: The general feeling is that's what the majority is leaning towards
[10:23:10] Timo Gufler: I think the nfs east and the water sim shouldn't voted as a package
[10:23:12] Trebor Warcliffe: Yes Calli we can't wait around forever for people to decide when they want to become a part of us and contribute
[10:23:23] Trebor Warcliffe: Whats your suggestin Timo
[10:23:26] Bells Semyorka nods
[10:23:28] Callipygian Christensen: I believe any actual official Referendum has to be attached to the next elections..
[10:23:46] Trebor Warcliffe: Thats going to be a waste of time than
[10:23:48] Timo Gufler: give them several options about the next sim
[10:23:53] Trebor Warcliffe: And nothing will get done
[10:23:57] Callipygian Christensen: which is why I think an unnoficila one 'vote for your choice' will be speedier
[10:23:58] Trebor Warcliffe: Timi we did htat
[10:24:02] Trebor Warcliffe: With the survey
[10:24:06] Lilith Ivory: maybe say: do you want both or NFS east or water/islands or nothing of that
[10:24:11] Edward Ballinger: you don't have to wait for an election to buy sims..... that would take forever
[10:24:21] Trebor Warcliffe: Thats why we're talkign about NFS East and a water sim
[10:24:22] Bells Semyorka: were just chaising our tails again
[10:24:25] Trebor Warcliffe: Correct Ed
[10:24:34] Timo Gufler: hmmm
[10:24:46] Trebor Warcliffe: We gave anyone and everyoen interested almost a month
[10:24:50] Rosie Gray: yes
[10:24:55] Trebor Warcliffe: to contribute there thoughts to the survey
[10:24:58] Timo Gufler: my impression was that we were discussion about the next sim, not about the next sims
[10:24:59] Bells Semyorka: I filled mine out the fisrt day
[10:25:02] Trebor Warcliffe: that is why were meeting now
[10:25:05] Trebor Warcliffe: same here Bells
[10:25:05] Lilith Ivory: well, we need to make a decision and than work on the Sim layout before buying one imo
