Shorah!
Rand Miller war vorhin in UU zu Besuch und plauderte mit den Forschern. Ich hab mal mitgeloggt und ein Bild gemacht.
Anmerkung: Die Besucherzahlen in der Gemeinde waren vermutlich so hoch, das ich wohl bei denjenigen, welche vor mir einlinkten, als Geist aufgeführt war. (nicht in der Liste)
Hier der Chatlog ....
[hide](03/01 01:10:46) Chat.log aktiviert...
(03/01 01:10:47) Geert: ?
(03/01 01:10:47) Paul: is the option of cycling the 5 reps possible?...
(03/01 01:10:50) Cycreim: Let's nominate the Bahro, they were pretty good servants.
(03/01 01:10:55) Geron: right, olrec!
(03/01 01:10:59) Vormaen: Unlike our country today( usa), Uru has a lot of opportunity
(03/01 01:10:59) ireenquench roars with laughter
(03/01 01:11:02) Vormaen: lol
(03/01 01:11:04) Cycreim: Ow stop hitting me.
(03/01 01:11:17) Taba: they don't seem to let the power go to their heads, either
(03/01 01:11:45) Cycreim: They don't really seem interested in us explorers, though.
(03/01 01:11:46) Legacy: I dunno...The Bahro are kind of creepy...and do they even speak english?
(03/01 01:11:48) Vormaen: Rand, what would Cyan do if things got out of hand with this new "role?"
(03/01 01:11:51) Rand: ireen brough up communication earlier - i think that's what this is about
(03/01 01:12:14) Veralun: as long as ppl talk about power it will not succeed
(03/01 01:12:34) Vormaen: There will be none of that, that's not what it's about
(03/01 01:12:36) Cycreim: I think we can come up with new and interesting plays on democracy for these representatives, you know...
(03/01 01:12:40) Rand: olrac - not bad - just too soon?
(03/01 01:12:45) Geert: uru needs guidance to develop
(03/01 01:12:54) Jahuti: How about calling it a "liason group" rather tha representatives?
(03/01 01:12:55) Vormaen: Rand, it's about everyone wanting their equal share of being a part of this story
(03/01 01:12:55) Taba: yes, Veralun, this shouldn't be about power, this should be about communicating with the DRC and helpin=g the community grow
(03/01 01:12:58) Rand: this may be just a start
(03/01 01:13:17) Rand: vormaen - good point
(03/01 01:13:29) Geert: guidance is not power
(03/01 01:13:32) Vormaen: Think about how live was
(03/01 01:13:40) Veralun: thats what I think Rand, but can the ppl here show that they are beable to do so?
(03/01 01:13:40) Cycreim: Yeah this is about power in a way. I know I'd love to be a part of forwarding Uru's story, getting my name in lights like Brian did in Sharper's journal...
(03/01 01:13:41) Altydwarber: shorah
(03/01 01:13:48) Jewel: hi Alty
(03/01 01:13:58) Geert: Shorah alty
(03/01 01:13:58) Rand: but having five reps may actually let more people take part in the story
(03/01 01:13:59) ireenquench: I don't like the word guidance in this context, Geert.
(03/01 01:14:01) Veralun: hi Alty
(03/01 01:14:02) Vormaen: I was so desperate to be a part of the story, I wasn't myself.......people will do such things.
(03/01 01:14:21) Vormaen: Yeah.
(03/01 01:14:25) Jewel: I read a nice posting of yours in UO Vormaen, lol
(03/01 01:14:36) Vormaen: Oh....hehe really
(03/01 01:14:41) Cycreim: Being famous here down in the Cavern and having people flock to me whenever I showed up in a hood... Oh boy Cycreim is on! Oh boy let's all go bother him with questions and demands!
(03/01 01:14:52) Cycreim: But uh really that is not what should happen is it?
(03/01 01:15:00) Vormaen: THAT is exactly what I mean
(03/01 01:15:16) Vormaen: no, it shouldn't, but look and B. Fioca
(03/01 01:15:30) Rand: not as much fun as it seems cycreim
(03/01 01:15:31) Cycreim: Brian's been really good about it.
(03/01 01:15:33) Geert: or plinthon btw
(03/01 01:15:34) Vormaen: He is forever in the Sharper journal
(03/01 01:15:36) Geron: some ppl would like such a role
(03/01 01:15:40) Vormaen: true he has.
(03/01 01:15:44) Taba: perhaps we could set up another means to contact the reps to have our voices heard through them?
(03/01 01:15:58) Taba: without buggin them in the cavern, I mean
(03/01 01:16:06) ireenquench: what do you mean Taba?
(03/01 01:16:09) Rand: if everyone was famous - no one would be famous
(03/01 01:16:10) Vormaen: Have the Reps bring a guest for such meetings?
(03/01 01:16:13) Cycreim: If there was some way to satisfy everyone in that way...
(03/01 01:16:16) Cycreim: Yeah exactly Rand.
(03/01 01:16:27) Geert: Like that rand
(03/01 01:16:28) Vormaen: lol heard that before Rand.....The INcredibles?
(03/01 01:16:34) Vormaen: lol
(03/01 01:16:38) Taba: like a subforum to the DRC fourm, or an email contact, or something like that
(03/01 01:17:17) Cycreim: Haha, but that's the concept! An explorer could say, "Oh, it was me who got this bridge set up." or "I left this note on this table in this Age."
(03/01 01:17:20) Rand: be good if the reps had a way to hear from the explorers
(03/01 01:17:29) ireenquench: A good question, would the function be more forum or more Cavern based.
(03/01 01:17:32) Emyn: That's a good idea--a more orderly form of communication instead of pestering the leaders here all the time
(03/01 01:17:33) Geert: Just how would URU develop with just representitives
(03/01 01:17:41) Taba: we'd have to be able to post to it, so they would know what we wanted
(03/01 01:17:50) Cycreim: It's sort of what was started with the imagers.
(03/01 01:17:53) Vormaen: Everyone wants to be immortized here
(03/01 01:18:01) Geron: must be forum based, just think of the timezones, Ireen
(03/01 01:18:07) Cycreim: Exactly, Vormaen.
(03/01 01:18:14) Cycreim: Is there a way for that to be possible, though?
(03/01 01:18:15) Vormaen: Look at current MMO The Matrix online
(03/01 01:18:17) Taba: I'm happy to just be able to talk to the Cyantists on occasion
(03/01 01:18:17) Geert: Will they decide upon the development of the cavern?
(03/01 01:18:46) Rand: uh....
(03/01 01:19:10) Rand: go ahead olrac
(03/01 01:19:11) Vormaen: A little off topic, but Rand, if I submit my Uru Comic to Cyan will you be reading it?
(03/01 01:19:12) Jewel: oooooh this is not a game, this is an office meeting
(03/01 01:19:21) Vormaen: lol
(03/01 01:19:25) Geert: how do you see further expansion of the game l?
(03/01 01:19:29) Taba: offices have comfier chairs
(03/01 01:19:36) Jewel: lol
(03/01 01:19:40) Rand: jewel - how much have you explored?
(03/01 01:19:43) Cycreim: Is that a question for all of us, Geert?
(03/01 01:19:51) Vormaen: yeah, my butt is getting numb
(03/01 01:19:56) Jewel: oooh everything inside and out, been here every single day since Live LOL
(03/01 01:20:00) Geert: Yes and espescially for rand
(03/01 01:20:31) Geert: Somewher the cavern will have to develop
(03/01 01:20:32) Rand: i hope we get a chance to see Uru expand - fingers crossed
(03/01 01:20:38) Jewel cheers
(03/01 01:20:39) Geert: Not only by politics but also as a game
(03/01 01:20:40) Taba: oh, I've got a "rabid fan" question for you, Rand...
(03/01 01:20:44) Rand: more places for Jewel to explore
(03/01 01:20:45) Cycreim: I'd personally like to see this continue in the way it always has...
(03/01 01:20:49) Rand: more office meetings
(03/01 01:20:58) Rand: more people
(03/01 01:20:59) Vormaen: OK, hope this goes well, I have to go tempt Moke with more Pizza!
(03/01 01:21:01) Geert: I know rand and i keep my fingers crossed
(03/01 01:21:03) Jewel: WHEEEEEEEEEEEE
Oh no
(03/01 01:21:03) Geron:
(03/01 01:21:04) Rand: more conflict?
(03/01 01:21:11) Rand: more puzzles
(03/01 01:21:12) Cycreim: More conflict, yeah!
(03/01 01:21:16) Cycreim: But the good kind.
(03/01 01:21:25) ireenquench: and I hope it will expand like this, exploring with others
(03/01 01:21:28) Ivy: fingers and eyes crossed
(03/01 01:21:28) Geert: mor choice that is lol
(03/01 01:21:29) Vormaen: More worlds to explore
(03/01 01:21:30) Jewel: Hope to see the city expand and book appear
(03/01 01:21:31) Rand: something for everyone
(03/01 01:21:32) Toria: Can I suggest for the player representives that a forum be set up with short bios, and then vote for the top 5?
(03/01 01:21:38) Geron: i wish my real life office was as nice as Uru office
(03/01 01:21:39) Cycreim: More permanence to the actions of explorers...
(03/01 01:21:46) Vormaen: already set up on DRC forums
(03/01 01:22:28) Cycreim: Risks...
(03/01 01:22:31) Vormaen: Just waiting for people to post their reasons for being the best candidates.
(03/01 01:22:33) Paul: can the DRC reps be rotated ? so a new 5 every so offten?
(03/01 01:22:34) Geert: still believe the basics of Uru were good
(03/01 01:22:43) Geert: It leaded to conflict
(03/01 01:23:01) Jewel: /gives everybody coffee and a chocolate cake
(03/01 01:23:07) Geron: we all do, Geert. We wouldnt be so crazy about it otherwise
(03/01 01:23:08) Taba: yum!
(03/01 01:23:12) Geert: thx jewl
(03/01 01:23:15) Rand: mmmmmmm
(03/01 01:23:16) Cycreim: That sounds delicious.
(03/01 01:23:23) Altydwarber: thank you Jewel
(03/01 01:23:27) Vormaen: I was comfortable with what was given to us on a daily basis, don't know why it has to change
(03/01 01:23:36) Emyn: I love chocolate...
(03/01 01:23:37) Toria: Where's the donuts? Ha haha
(03/01 01:23:44) Emyn: lol
(03/01 01:23:48) Toria: that Easter Egg
(03/01 01:23:51) Mellina: mmmm, chocolate
(03/01 01:23:52) Toria: lol
(03/01 01:23:53) Jewel: yw
and donuts are on the heek table
(03/01 01:23:55) Cycreim: what do you mean, Vormaen?
(03/01 01:23:55) Taba starts to laugh
(03/01 01:24:11) Geert: rand , why should it be changed?
(03/01 01:24:14) Vormaen: I mean the DRC opening things when they were ready, without our input
(03/01 01:24:38) Vormaen: It was a certain DS that bugged things out
(03/01 01:24:42) Geert: Let the community grow like in live
(03/01 01:24:47) Rand: You mean Uru - why should it be changed?
(03/01 01:25:00) Cycreim: Because there was good reason to believe they were doing that because they had something to hide, Vormaen.
(03/01 01:25:07) Geert: Yes the basics which wer presented
(03/01 01:25:26) Vormaen: I believe the DRC visiting random explorers for input would be more than enough for info into our wants and desires.
(03/01 01:25:43) Taba: I think this may be a good way to maybe let the community show what they want, and maybe that will influence the DRC to open up places that the explorers want to see most
(03/01 01:25:50) Rand: i like change personally - keeps me wondering what around the next corner
(03/01 01:26:00) ireenquench nods her head
(03/01 01:26:01) Toria: yes, very true Rand
(03/01 01:26:07) Emyn: I agree
(03/01 01:26:09) Cycreim: That's a good point, Vor. Somethign to be considered...
(03/01 01:26:12) Vormaen: So does that mean you'll rething the whole Myst V ending? lol
(03/01 01:26:17) Rand: sometimes it's not something good - but I like wondering
(03/01 01:26:20) Geert: Agree on that, but the story is to my opinion
(03/01 01:26:33) Geert: It is flexible enough
(03/01 01:26:34) Cycreim: It's not about the ending, it's about the journey!
(03/01 01:26:35) Mellina: lol, Vormaen
(03/01 01:26:43) Cycreim: It all comes together, doesn't it?
(03/01 01:26:45) Vormaen: I know! hehe
(03/01 01:26:53) Toria: Congrats on winning some GIN awards for Myst V btw
(03/01 01:27:09) Rand: yeah - that was cool - thanks toria
(03/01 01:27:10) Geron claps his hands
(03/01 01:27:16) Vormaen: I think if Live came back the Myst V story could totally change, but that's totally up to you rand.
(03/01 01:27:31) Geert: v is 5 couldn't be better
(03/01 01:27:39) Taba: perhaps what happened in myst v was on another branch of the great tree?
(03/01 01:27:42) Cycreim: Haha we should cross that bridge when we come to it, probably.
(03/01 01:27:42) Vormaen: Just you always say the ending hasn't been written
(03/01 01:28:13) Vormaen: Just like my spelling may not always be this bad....
(03/01 01:28:27) Rand: there are plenty of stories to tell in Uru - just got to get the chance
(03/01 01:28:38) Cycreim: The potential I see in this is that we've got this wonderful world, thousands if not millions of D'ni across many generations...
(03/01 01:28:39) Rand: yep
(03/01 01:28:53) Cycreim: It doesn't stop and start with the story of Atrus and his family, right?
(03/01 01:28:56) Toria: When will you know more about the negotiations with Ubisosft?
(03/01 01:29:08) Geert: again i just see us waiting and inventing all kind of things to pass the time
(03/01 01:29:18) Vormaen: But Esher was in the Uru story...in a letter, but he became the focal point in MV
(03/01 01:29:34) Vormaen: Ugh....Ubi
(03/01 01:29:36) Geert: Still think you presented with live the playground
(03/01 01:29:50) Cycreim: I like that term for it, Geert. A playground.
(03/01 01:30:01) Vormaen: Other than Myst V and IV I don't buy from Ubi anymore
(03/01 01:30:15) Geert: forget ubi
(03/01 01:30:20) Geert: It is past
(03/01 01:30:23) Mellina: are there any other games anyway?
(03/01 01:30:24) Vormaen: I try to on a daily basis
(03/01 01:30:30) Jewel: lol
(03/01 01:30:35) Vormaen: nope.....Uru is more than enough for me
(03/01 01:30:48) Vormaen: butt going numb too?
(03/01 01:30:48) Rand: Uru is getting some support from an un-named company right now
(03/01 01:30:49) Jewel: yes the floor is very cold isn't it
(03/01 01:30:58) Vormaen: Yeah baby!
(03/01 01:31:02) Cycreim: That is GREAT!
(03/01 01:31:05) Toria: okay
(03/01 01:31:09) Taba: awesome!
(03/01 01:31:12) Rand: they are helping a bit - to see if they want to help more
(03/01 01:31:13) Vormaen: Do they enjoy the experience Rand?
(03/01 01:31:18) Geert: What can we do to make the difference rand
(03/01 01:31:27) Cycreim: Yeah, if anything.
(03/01 01:31:29) Rand: more would be good
(03/01 01:31:30) Taba: yes, how can we help?
(03/01 01:31:30) ireenquench: we should really run down their doors
(03/01 01:31:31) Rand: for Uru
(03/01 01:31:39) Geert: I really hope for a good investor
(03/01 01:31:39) Vormaen: Ask me for 30 bucks a month or more, I'd gladly pay it
(03/01 01:31:42) Taba: me too!
(03/01 01:31:43) Rand:
(03/01 01:31:44) Geron: they will not base their decisions on joy, I am afraid, but on figures
(03/01 01:31:46) Jewel: get all your friends, family, colleages and strangers in here hehe
(03/01 01:32:01) Vormaen: Go ahead....ask me...PLEASE!
(03/01 01:32:05) Rand: send invites to people who have Uru - that always helps
(03/01 01:32:11) Rand: help them feel the call
(03/01 01:32:12) Cycreim: I've been getting some friends to try Uru. It's so inexpensive now there's no reason not to...
(03/01 01:32:14) Toria: yes, I have.
(03/01 01:32:26) Vormaen: Just bought a copy for my mom, my brother, my sister......
(03/01 01:32:27) Geert: I will
(03/01 01:32:36) Mellina: I have friends who would gladly join
(03/01 01:32:37) Jewel: tell them (sorry Rand) that Uru is very very cheap right now, less then 10 dollars, 8 euros
(03/01 01:32:40) Cycreim: And, if they like it, off goes the invite.
(03/01 01:32:44) Toria: sadly some of the friends from Prologue don't answer emails
(03/01 01:32:51) Taba: I'm giving my dad my spare copy of Uru... and will be sending him an invite soon
(03/01 01:32:55) Rand: cool
(03/01 01:32:59) Geert: Just show it and give the feeling of community growth
(03/01 01:32:59) Veralun: is it more ppl you want or is it something else Rand?
(03/01 01:33:09) Rand: Myst has great fans!!
(03/01 01:33:10) Cycreim: A lot of them just won't play unless it's perfect, though... sucks to their assmar, as far as I'm concerned.
(03/01 01:33:28) Vormaen: Half of New Mexico knwos about Uru thanks to my big mouth
(03/01 01:33:36) Geert: The inventor has great fans
(03/01 01:33:45) Geron nods his head
(03/01 01:33:54) Toria: yes, in that radio interview you said that Rand! Thanks for praising us, the Myst fans
(03/01 01:33:58) Toria claps her hands
(03/01 01:34:02) Vormaen: Obviously your kids love Uru as well, right rand?
(03/01 01:34:03) Rand: The company is looking at lots of factors - including people
(03/01 01:34:09) Mellina: Besides getting the word out, is there anything else we should do?
(03/01 01:34:25) Rand: Can't get my daughter out of the cavern these days
(03/01 01:34:30) Jewel: yes come in here
(03/01 01:34:32) Von Quin: time for news
(03/01 01:34:33) Veralun: great we can bring you ppl, can we do more?
(03/01 01:34:35) Geron: lol
(03/01 01:34:36) Cycreim: Haha
(03/01 01:34:39) Geert: Is there a plan of real good marketing rand
(03/01 01:34:46) Geron: another addict? hehe
(03/01 01:34:49) Cycreim: I should try the "oh, just try it for five minutes." tactic.
(03/01 01:34:50) Vormaen: I know it's hard......in this day and age where everyone wants rpg mmos...waste of TIME in my mind
(03/01 01:34:51) Jewel: even though there is nothing new.... yet
(03/01 01:34:52) ireenquench: Rand, re they looking at people as in numbers or people as in what they do here?
(03/01 01:34:58) Rand: i think if Uru grows again it would be grassroots
(03/01 01:35:00) Ivy: I got my son in here... but has to play on MY pc... keeps me out
(03/01 01:35:14) Cycreim: Uru is so indie!
(03/01 01:35:31) Rand: kind of appropriate in a way
(03/01 01:35:39) Vormaen: Rand, is there anyway that advertising would be greater this time round than with Ubi?
(03/01 01:35:43) Geert: Uru to my opinion is the best concept ever
(03/01 01:35:46) Taba: it's so refreshingly diffrent from other shoot-em-up mmos
(03/01 01:35:58) Geert: And as it says it has to grow
(03/01 01:36:07) Geron: some fans are still reluctant to get online ...
(03/01 01:36:16) Vormaen: Too bad a lot of people has attention spans of ----- this much
(03/01 01:36:21) Jewel: I got my Mom in here, after two years of nagging, wheeeeeeeeeee
(03/01 01:36:23) Jahuti: I note that there are a lot of Uru-like possibilities..
(03/01 01:36:29) Toria: I just wish my husband would understand why I like this place so much....
(03/01 01:36:31) Toria: LOL
(03/01 01:36:38) Rand: just need a committment to the restoration by the comany - so more areas can be opened
