(11/11 07:56:01) Ivy: hi Wolfie
(11/11 07:56:05) Sorceress: I wonder if he was a Boston native.
(11/11 07:56:13) ireenquench: Hm.. is an elephant bigger than Shroomie?
(11/11 07:56:26) Sorceress: Seeing as he's a big Patriots fan.
(11/11 07:56:28) Ivy: hmmm
(11/11 07:56:42) Marten: It seems likely, ireen. But we may never find out if the rumor is true.
(11/11 07:57:17) K'laamas: oooh, nice shirt
(11/11 07:57:29) K'laamas: what's that on the back?

(11/11 08:03:37) Cycreim: How's it goin'?
(11/11 08:03:43) CAGrayWolf: Saxy, Marten, Cycreim That I know of!
(11/11 08:03:44) Sorceress: Sleepy.
(11/11 08:03:47) Marten: Three TGT members here at the moment.
(11/11 08:04:34) Saxy: Brian's cell was off and no one picked up at his home phone.
(11/11 08:04:35) Saxy: :\
(11/11 08:04:48) UberThend: I'm thinking of starting a group myself - The 'Not-So-Great-Tree'. So, if anyone's interested... lol
(11/11 08:04:56) ireenquench laughs
(11/11 08:04:57) Saxy: I saw Brian and Jean last night and even reminded him. *lol*
(11/11 08:05:02) K'laamas: Saxy> That's why he should /always/ take his KI w/him--they're never off ;)
(11/11 08:05:03) Saxy laughs
(11/11 08:05:10) ireenquench: The Tiny Tree Toddlers?!
(11/11 08:05:17) CAGrayWolf starts to laugh
(11/11 08:05:19) Saxy: Hi Cyc!
(11/11 08:05:23) Sorceress: The Littlest Sapling?
(11/11 08:05:25) UberThend: Yeah, look what happened to Phend when he took his KI off
(11/11 08:05:35) K'laamas: Shorah, IBnetweazel
(11/11 08:05:44) Saxy laughs
(11/11 08:05:53) ireenquench: Shorah IBN!
(11/11 08:05:59) UberThend: hello IBnet
(11/11 08:06:13) K'laamas: Oh, btw, Happy Third Feast of the Maker, everyone! :D
(11/11 08:06:22) Sorceress: Yay!
(11/11 08:06:22) Saxy: Happy HTFM!
(11/11 08:06:23) ireenquench: Oh, is it today?!

(11/11 08:06:27) K'laamas: Yep!
(11/11 08:06:33) K'laamas does a dance
(11/11 08:06:42) CAGrayWolf: Cool, Happy TFoM!
(11/11 08:06:51) ireenquench: What did they celebrate on TFotM?!
(11/11 08:07:02) UberThend: 'TFoM' just doesn't have the same ring to it...
(11/11 08:07:03) K'laamas: ....good question ;)
(11/11 08:07:11) ireenquench laughs
(11/11 08:07:17) Sorceress: All I remember is that it was a pre-Earth celebration.
(11/11 08:07:29) Saxy: Brian said his KI wasn't working and he's trying to fix it. He said it'll be just a minute.
(11/11 08:07:32) Sorceress: So they observed it on Garternay as well.
(11/11 08:07:37) ireenquench: From Garternay?!
(11/11 08:07:44) Sorceress: Yup.
(11/11 08:07:45) Cycreim: Is Daed coming to this meeting, Saxy?
(11/11 08:07:47) Marten: Well, the DRC did warn that KIs might stop working.
(11/11 08:07:55) Saxy: He said he was going to.
(11/11 08:08:07) Saxy: But I haven't heard his status on it in over a week.
(11/11 08:08:12) Cycreim: Laxmaaaaaaaaaannnn!
(11/11 08:08:26) UberThend: i only celebrate the Fisrt Feast of the Maker. I don't observe the Second and Third. Theoloogical differences...
(11/11 08:08:41) K'laamas: Laxman?
(11/11 08:08:47) To Marten: I tried to post about that as IC as I could, and I don't think anyone got it.
(11/11 08:08:48) K'laamas: UT> lol
(11/11 08:08:49) Marten: According to my clock it is now 8 past the hour, so perhaps we should go ahead and start, but limit questions to the Prologue Documentaries until others arrive.
(11/11 08:09:00) Saxy nods her head
(11/11 08:09:21) Marten chuckles
(11/11 08:09:24) CAGrayWolf: G'morning to you all and thanks for coming ...!
(11/11 08:09:26) From Marten: *nod*
(11/11 08:09:34) Saxy: Yes, thanks!
(11/11 08:09:37) Marten: Brian is coming in, I see him on KI now.
(11/11 08:09:45) Cycreim: Brian's KI just turned on, he must be on his way
(11/11 08:10:02) CAGrayWolf: Would you all please give a round of applause for our guests this morning ... The Great Tree.!
(11/11 08:10:06) Sorceress claps her hands
(11/11 08:10:08) Ivy claps her hands
(11/11 08:10:08) K'laamas claps his hands
(11/11 08:10:14) Saxy waves
(11/11 08:10:16) ireenquench: clap!
(11/11 08:10:20) ireenquench: oops!
(11/11 08:10:29) Amarok clap clap clap
(11/11 08:10:36) ireenquench laughs
(11/11 08:10:56) Saxy laughs
(11/11 08:10:58) CAGrayWolf: As usual, I will be handling the question qyueue. So if you would like to ask a question. Just PM me with "QUESTION"!
(11/11 08:11:17) From ireenquench: QUESTION
(11/11 08:11:24) CAGrayWolf: Also, please be sure to activate the /autoshout feature on your KI's.!
(11/11 08:11:50) From K'laamas: I don't understand this "autoshout" people keep talking about...
(11/11 08:12:04) From UberThend: QUESTION
(11/11 08:12:33) To K'laamas: Just type /autoshout and then you do not need to always do /shout before each comment
(11/11 08:12:42) Saxy: Hi Brian!!
(11/11 08:12:56) Cycreim: Hey Brian! Come on down!!
(11/11 08:12:56) CAGrayWolf: Shourah Brian!
(11/11 08:13:08) From K'laamas: ...what does /shout do? it's text-chat
(11/11 08:13:09) ireenquench: Shorah Brian!
(11/11 08:13:15) K'laamas: Shorah, Brian :)
(11/11 08:13:37) To K'laamas: Allows everyone to hear you in large groups
(11/11 08:13:59) K'laamas: that's why we link instead of taking the tunnels ;)
(11/11 08:14:10) Brian Fioca: hehe
(11/11 08:14:29) CAGrayWolf: G'morning Brian ... would you like to lead us off?!
(11/11 08:14:44) Brian Fioca: Sure.
(11/11 08:14:48) Brian Fioca: Welcome everyone!
(11/11 08:15:09) Brian Fioca: I'm glad everyone made it here. We at the great tree have been looking forward
(11/11 08:15:16) Brian Fioca: to a chance to get to answer everyone's questions
(11/11 08:15:23) Brian Fioca: about our history,
(11/11 08:15:46) Brian Fioca: and where we're going in the future
(11/11 08:15:53) To Brian Fioca: May want to activate the /autoshout feature of your KI.
(11/11 08:15:58) Brian Fioca: and how we can better interact with the comunity from here out
(11/11 08:16:11) Brian Fioca: sorry, can everyone hear me now?!
(11/11 08:16:17) ireenquench nods her head
(11/11 08:16:19) K'laamas nods his head
(11/11 08:16:20) Sorceress: Yep.
(11/11 08:16:21) Ivy nods her head
(11/11 08:16:22) Gwylan: no!
(11/11 08:16:23) Amarok: ok!
(11/11 08:16:29) Annick: yes
(11/11 08:16:29) Brian Fioca: great!
(11/11 08:16:52) Brian Fioca: well, I'll continue to shout from here out. pardon the extra punctuation.!
(11/11 08:17:01) Cycreim: Lial, Gwylan, don't be shy! Come a little closer!
(11/11 08:17:05) CAGrayWolf smiles
(11/11 08:17:26) Brian Fioca: to bring everyone up to speed with the basics!
(11/11 08:17:46) Brian Fioca: our group started roughly around december of 2003!
(11/11 08:18:00) Gwylan: can't hear!
(11/11 08:18:16) From Brian Fioca: yeah
(11/11 08:18:24) From Brian Fioca: oops
(11/11 08:18:34) To Brian Fioca: lol
(11/11 08:19:04) Brian Fioca: when the cavern closed
(11/11 08:19:05) Gwylan: OK!
(11/11 08:19:21) Saxy: FYI, Professor Askew is on his way.!
(11/11 08:19:44) Brian Fioca: we were beggining to change our direction
(11/11 08:19:49) From Marten: Gwylan was expecting voice chat, I straightened it out.
(11/11 08:20:06) To Marten: ahhh, ok ... thanks
(11/11 08:20:33) Brian Fioca: and by now, we're starting to be more orgainzed for what is to come. I'm being a bit vague here
(11/11 08:20:39) Brian Fioca: so
(11/11 08:20:45) Brian Fioca: I'll just open the floor to questions. :)
(11/11 08:21:01) CAGrayWolf: Ireen ... You have a question?!
(11/11 08:21:42) ireenquench: Brian you have been called the "leader"... ist this somehow by election? Or by tradition?!
(11/11 08:21:58) Brian Fioca: ireen, good question. :)
(11/11 08:22:12) Brian Fioca: perhaps by tradition
(11/11 08:22:13) Brian Fioca: more than anything
(11/11 08:22:24) Brian Fioca: I was the one that starte the group initially
(11/11 08:22:33) Saxy: Hi Professor!
(11/11 08:22:53) Professor Askew: Sorry I'm late.
(11/11 08:23:01) Brian Fioca: and so, that has probably something to do with why they call me that. :)
(11/11 08:23:08) Brian Fioca: but
(11/11 08:23:16) Brian Fioca: I try to continue to maintain an active role
(11/11 08:23:21) Brian Fioca: in the direction of the group
(11/11 08:23:24) janaba1: hi, everybody!
(11/11 08:23:33) Saxy: Hi Jana!
(11/11 08:23:41) To Brian Fioca: When done ... say next ... so I know to call of the next person.
(11/11 08:23:52) Brian Fioca: and to make sure we're going in the right direction. thanks for the question
(11/11 08:24:05) From ireenquench: QUESTION
(11/11 08:24:06) Brian Fioca: next CA?
(11/11 08:24:17) CAGrayWolf: Thend ... You have a question?!
(11/11 08:24:31) Ivy: I didnt hear an answer to ireen's!
(11/11 08:24:34) IBnetweazel: did we lose autoshout?!
(11/11 08:25:00) UberThend: The content in the excellent 'Prologue Story' already seems to have been covered by the SWN25 production 'Tales of the DRC' authentically (lol). What did the GT think of it? (Btw, if you need any voiceovers for the Prologue 'Director's Cut', I'm sure the Bad Boys and Girls of Uru would be happy to oblige)
(11/11 08:25:10) ireenquench: (I heard it and I am logging)!
(11/11 08:25:26) Saxy laughs
(11/11 08:25:38) Brian Fioca: Hi thend, thanks for the question.!
(11/11 08:25:51) UberThend: Hello Brian
(11/11 08:25:58) Brian Fioca: I'm not sure we're planning on doing voiceovers at this time. we think it wouldn't do justice to the people who were there.!
(11/11 08:26:15) Professor Askew: hehe
(11/11 08:26:16) Brian Fioca: as to the first part of your question, maybe someone else involved with the production can answer?!
(11/11 08:26:38) Saxy: I haven't seen Tales of the DRC. Where could one see it?!
(11/11 08:26:48) Professor Askew: hear it
(11/11 08:26:53) Saxy: Hm.!
(11/11 08:26:55) janaba1: :-)!
(11/11 08:27:10) Professor Askew: I haven't had a chance.
(11/11 08:27:22) UberThend: Hmm, well hear it anyways, video not released. Check with Vort, he has the link
(11/11 08:27:28) Brian Fioca: So, it seems like we haven't actually had a chance to check it out, but thanks for bringing it to our attention.!
(11/11 08:27:36) Saxy: That could be one reason. The Prologue story hasn't been put to screen, as far as I know.!
(11/11 08:27:49) Brian Fioca: Also!
(11/11 08:27:54) UberThend: Hey np, really liking the Prologue videos
(11/11 08:27:57) Brian Fioca: we wanted to approach it!
(11/11 08:28:06) Saxy: And, personally, I think the story has a bit more impact when you can put it to screen.!
(11/11 08:28:15) Brian Fioca: since we think we have a unique perpective about what happened!
(11/11 08:28:18) Cycreim: We're just glad that people are interested in what happened. :)!
(11/11 08:28:31) Brian Fioca: and wanted to share with everyone else.!
(11/11 08:28:33) Professor Askew: Indeed.
(11/11 08:28:45) From Brian Fioca: netxt :)
(11/11 08:28:45) CAGrayWolf: For those who are just coming in or are unfamilar with TH's ... if you would like to ask a question please PM me with "QUESTION" and I will add you to the queue.!
(11/11 08:29:16) From Marten: And remember to turn on /autoshout; we have a very large crowd.
(11/11 08:29:31) From UberThend: Better prompt ireen again, I totally stepped on her question, sorry
(11/11 08:29:39) Saxy: While we're wating for questions..!
(11/11 08:29:48) Saxy: What do you guys think of the Prologue videos so far?!
(11/11 08:29:59) Sorceress: They're great!
(11/11 08:30:03) CAGrayWolf: I have a question. Yoy all were quite involved with Sharper in the early days. How has your opinion of Sharper changed (if at all) and how do you all feel about what happened now (as in the here and now)?!
(11/11 08:30:05) Ivy: very good!!
(11/11 08:30:10) UberThend: Very nice and pretty awesome
(11/11 08:30:17) K'laamas: I think they're very interesting :) A little bit long, but I'm quite interested in seeing what happended next.!
(11/11 08:30:25) Brian Fioca: great question, Wolfie!
(11/11 08:30:27) UberThend: Plus quite informative
(11/11 08:30:39) Professor Askew: Great question, GrayWolf.
(11/11 08:30:40) Saxy: Thanks for the feedback :)!
(11/11 08:30:51) From K'laamas: Question!
(11/11 08:30:53) Brian Fioca: well, I have to say that I"ve always defended doug, we was rather like a friend to me!
(11/11 08:30:58) Professor Askew: I'm sure it's different for all of us.
(11/11 08:31:07) Brian Fioca: I think he continues to be misunderstood!
(11/11 08:31:30) Professor Askew: hehe
(11/11 08:31:32) Brian Fioca: that said, I think there are things we're doing now that he might not have agreed with.!
(11/11 08:31:46) Brian Fioca: but, as we know,!
(11/11 08:32:14) janaba1: what things?!
(11/11 08:32:25) Brian Fioca: we make our own paths down here, and we need to make our own way. I'm not sure if he's coming back, !
(11/11 08:32:36) Saxy nods her head
(11/11 08:32:36) Cycreim: Like trying to reconcile with the DRC, for example.!
(11/11 08:32:42) Brian Fioca: hi jana, what things? - well yes, Cyc.!
(11/11 08:32:44) janaba1: aha!
(11/11 08:33:08) janaba1: ah, he didn't want that at all?!
(11/11 08:33:08) Brian Fioca: he might not have thought that was wise, but maybe because he became rather biased due to their treatment of him.!
(11/11 08:33:21) Saxy: I think Sharper might've come off as brash in Prologue, but I believe he had good intentions.!
(11/11 08:33:23) janaba1: aha, I understand!
(11/11 08:33:42) janaba1: oh, yes!
(11/11 08:33:43) Brian Fioca: in any event, yes, Saxy. I believe so, too... or else I wouldn't have stuck my neck out trying to defend him so much. :)!
(11/11 08:33:44) Professor Askew: I'm not quite as sure about his good intentions. lol
(11/11 08:33:52) Brian Fioca: it seems to have hurt my reputation long therm.!
(11/11 08:34:12) Cycreim: Sharper was a good guy, despite what a lot of people think of him. YOu can't know a guy just by reading his journal!!
(11/11 08:34:22) Brian Fioca: anyway, !
(11/11 08:34:25) Saxy: Professor brings up a good point.!
(11/11 08:34:26) janaba1: right!
(11/11 08:34:32) Professor Askew: Unfortunately, I never met the man.
(11/11 08:34:45) Brian Fioca: that doesn't really matter... because he's gone, and likely not coming back as best as we can tell..!
(11/11 08:34:52) Saxy: Although we're all members of the Great Tree,!
(11/11 08:34:55) Brian Fioca: our furute doesn't have much to do with Douglas Sharper.!
(11/11 08:35:02) Brian Fioca: *future!
(11/11 08:35:17) UberThend: Eating Shroomies and stealing artifacts?
(11/11 08:35:17) Professor Askew: true.........or does it? Dum dum dum......
(11/11 08:35:18) Saxy: And we believe in a similar philosophy, we've all had different experiences in the cavern.!
(11/11 08:35:46) Professor Askew: Right.
(11/11 08:36:03) Saxy: Therefore, we've had different (if any) interactions with Doug.!
(11/11 08:36:17) CAGrayWolf: K'laamas ... You have a question?!
(11/11 08:36:22) K'laamas: What actually prompted the formation of the Great Tree, and to what end was it formed?!
(11/11 08:36:25) Brian Fioca: I think we should really stress though, that we're not tied to him..!
(11/11 08:36:37) Brian Fioca: Hi, K'laamas.!
(11/11 08:36:53) Saxy: Good question :)!
(11/11 08:37:00) janaba1: yes!
(11/11 08:37:02) Marten: I think that Sharper was a classic example of what it means to be human. He was a skeptic of the DRC... he was a skeptic of Phil too, at first. It was his nature to question things.!
(11/11 08:37:23) janaba1: right!
(11/11 08:37:27) Brian Fioca: The short answer is, the Great Tree was formed from the members of a group that started out as a gruop of ...!
(11/11 08:37:30) janaba1: this is good!
(11/11 08:37:45) Brian Fioca: explorers who were not satisfied with the state of the restoration of the DRC!
(11/11 08:38:17) Brian Fioca: there were a small number of us early on, we didn't really have a name, and we were rather agressive at times, but we !
(11/11 08:38:45) Brian Fioca: were trying to make sure that there was representation (like Liaisons!) for the explorers who we believed could help (and wanted to)!
(11/11 08:38:50) Brian Fioca: the drc restore D'ni.!
(11/11 08:39:02) Brian Fioca: toward the end of our time in the Cavern, !
(11/11 08:39:25) Brian Fioca: we really began to organize as a larger, broader purpose group!
(11/11 08:39:34) Brian Fioca: since the DRC were leaving, !
(11/11 08:39:59) Saxy: We felt that the DRC was also not capturing the spirit of Yeesha's message about D'ni.!
(11/11 08:40:19) Brian Fioca: thanks, Saxy. That's very true.!
(11/11 08:40:21) Saxy: And occasionally the DRC were a bit misguided.!
(11/11 08:40:30) Brian Fioca: but so were we. :)!
(11/11 08:40:42) Brian Fioca: but what mattered to us was that at least we needed a balance.!
(11/11 08:40:44) Cycreim: We're working on that. The Yeesha thing.!
(11/11 08:41:01) From UberThend: QUESTION
(11/11 08:41:02) Brian Fioca: as far as what we're here for now, !
(11/11 08:41:18) Brian Fioca: prof, do you want to summarize our direction? !
(11/11 08:41:36) Professor Askew: Sure!
(11/11 08:41:48) Professor Askew: What is it?
(11/11 08:41:52) Brian Fioca: :)!
(11/11 08:41:55) Professor Askew: Kidding!
(11/11 08:41:58) Saxy laughs
(11/11 08:42:00) janaba1: :-)!
(11/11 08:42:14) Professor Askew: Okay.!
(11/11 08:42:36) Professor Askew: Our goals are simple now....!
(11/11 08:42:46) Professor Askew: Or are they?!
(11/11 08:42:55) Professor Askew: I'm sorry, I'm feeling odd today.!
(11/11 08:43:02) janaba1: np!
(11/11 08:43:06) janaba1: :-)!
(11/11 08:43:07) Professor Askew: And it's not even early morning for me.!
(11/11 08:43:22) Professor Askew: We're concerned that....!
(11/11 08:43:37) Professor Askew: a lot of what has come before will be swept under the carpet.!
(11/11 08:43:46) Professor Askew: And that is not good.!
(11/11 08:44:08) Professor Askew: The principle driver for these documentaries...!
(11/11 08:44:08) Marten: Exactly.!
(11/11 08:44:16) Saxy nods her head
(11/11 08:44:18) Professor Askew: is that no one forget.!
(11/11 08:44:34) janaba1 claps her hands
(11/11 08:44:38) Saxy: I'd like to interject...!
(11/11 08:44:38) Professor Askew: We're very pleased about the DRC and their efforts to communicate...!
(11/11 08:44:47) Professor Askew: Go ahead.!
(11/11 08:45:06) Saxy: If any of you saw us at the meeting out of the cavern this summer...!
(11/11 08:45:21) Saxy: The GT members were wearing buttons that said, "Where is Phil?"!
(11/11 08:45:31) Saxy: That ties into Prof's point.!
(11/11 08:45:40) Professor Askew: Exactly.!
(11/11 08:45:43) Saxy: There are some questions that haven't been answered yet.!
(11/11 08:45:52) Brian Fioca: we think it's important to ... continue to make sure that explorers are aware that they can and should get actively involved with the restoration - !
(11/11 08:46:09) Professor Askew: True.!
(11/11 08:46:10) Saxy: And although we're trying to reconcile with the DRC, we also think it's important for people to remember so history doesn't repeat itself.!
(11/11 08:46:12) Professor Askew: Always.!
(11/11 08:46:22) Cycreim: Getting involved is something we want to encourage for everyone!
(11/11 08:46:22) Brian Fioca: and be suspicious of people like the DRC (and, even us!) and to make their own conclusions and decisions.!
(11/11 08:46:35) Marten: Some may feel that our documentaries are digging up old bones. I would disagree. I think we are pointing out bones that have not been given a proper burial.!
(11/11 08:46:36) Professor Askew: Exactly.!
(11/11 08:46:45) CAGrayWolf: Concerning your videos (wonderful work by the way) how have you been acquiring your information (ie: chat logs, etc) and are you trying to keep your videos and are you trying to keep your videos factual? Also, Have you been able to get most of the original people involved to cooperate and help out with their actual involvement?!
(11/11 08:46:59) Cycreim: There's a lot that can be changed. You guys have no idea!
(11/11 08:47:06) Cycreim: Or maybe you might!
(11/11 08:47:10) janaba1: right Marten!
(11/11 08:47:13) Marten: I'll take that question.!
(11/11 08:47:20) Brian Fioca: Marten and prof can answer that one :) thanks marten.!
(11/11 08:47:28) Professor Askew: Go ahead, Marten.!
(11/11 08:48:07) Marten: Everything we're produced so far, and intend to produce, is directly from written records of people who attended the events. While we cannot ensure that the records themselves are accurate... they are all we have to go by.!
(11/11 08:48:32) From Tweek: wow I had some much trouble getting in
(11/11 08:48:42) Marten: Whereever possible, we have contacted people from those events to ask them to participate, or to at least interview them to glean more understanding of how things transpired.!
(11/11 08:48:46) Professor Askew: The only editing is spelling and sometimes sentence sequence.!
(11/11 08:48:52) To Tweek: Seems a few have
(11/11 08:49:28) Brian Fioca: all of the records we are using can be independently verified across the myst community!
(11/11 08:49:37) Professor Askew: Yes.!
(11/11 08:49:39) Marten: Right. Sometimes, people would talk over each other a little (such as we are today!), and to clarify we might re-order a few spoken words so that they fit together more coherently. Aside from that... what you see is how we believe it really happened.!
(11/11 08:49:58) Professor Askew: Exciting, yes?!
(11/11 08:49:59) Saxy: And I'd like to add that some of the chat logs of the events can be read on the Great Tree's website.!
(11/11 08:49:59) Brian Fioca: and most of the time!
(11/11 08:50:10) Brian Fioca: some of us were there, so we can verify the events!
(11/11 08:50:18) Cycreim: Marten's been doing a brilliant job with his editing!
(11/11 08:50:23) Saxy claps her hands
(11/11 08:50:39) Marten: Zardoz and MrM3FaN were very helpful with these first two episodes.!
(11/11 08:50:39) janaba1 cheers
(11/11 08:51:06) Marten: Next?!
(11/11 08:51:09) CAGrayWolf: Thend ... You have a question?!
(11/11 08:51:11) UberThend: ireen's question - Brian, you have been called the 'leader'. Is this somehow by election? Or by tradition?
(11/11 08:51:16) ireenquench: I understand... you want to ask questions and not forget anything.... but to follow up on earlier points question about purpose and direction, how do you as a group make decisions... if you do so collectively at all? Or do you just hang out together and decide on the fly? But how do you decide with what "your future has to do about"? Or if you chose to go with or against the DRC or another Cavern force in the future (just an example for lack of a better one)?!
(11/11 08:51:29) ireenquench: (sorry!!!)!
(11/11 08:51:51) Brian Fioca: maybe we can answer both questions!
(11/11 08:51:55) Professor Askew: We're a hive mind!!
(11/11 08:52:10) UberThend: ((Btw, some of the actors in the Prologue videos were played by stand-ins when the actual people were not able to attend)
(11/11 08:52:26) Saxy: Thanks, Thend :)!
(11/11 08:52:27) Brian Fioca: i think the simple answer to your question about how we organize ourselves is:!
(11/11 08:52:31) Cycreim: You'd be surprised at how true Prof's comment is, sometimes!
(11/11 08:52:34) UberThend nods his head
(11/11 08:52:38) Brian Fioca: 1) we don't like beurocracy.!
(11/11 08:52:46) Professor Askew: correct!
(11/11 08:52:53) Brian Fioca: so we don't like to impose too many rules on how we interact with each other!
(11/11 08:53:08) Brian Fioca: the best way to sway our group is to get people excited about something and everyone get together and do it.!
(11/11 08:53:15) Cycreim: Hive mind? That's exactly what I was thinking!!
(11/11 08:53:21) Professor Askew: lol!
(11/11 08:53:22) From K'laamas: Question!
(11/11 08:53:32) Brian Fioca: usually, if something is a bad idea, it won't get enough people excited and won't get done!
(11/11 08:53:37) Brian Fioca: my purpose, I think,!
(11/11 08:53:39) Professor Askew: Brian's right.!
(11/11 08:53:43) UberThend: Brian Fioca - Queen Bee
(11/11 08:53:53) Saxy: We have yet to encounter strong disagreement in the GT between members.!
(11/11 08:53:56) Brian Fioca: is to continue to keep an eye on things and make sure our way of deciding is stable!
(11/11 08:54:08) Brian Fioca: and to keep people from trying to game our system!
(11/11 08:54:09) Professor Askew: Right.!
(11/11 08:54:17) Saxy: But when we do, I'm sure we can solve the problem. We all seem compatible as a group.!
(11/11 08:54:30) From UberThend: QUESTION
(11/11 08:54:34) Brian Fioca: sure, I'm called "the leader" but what I think it really is is I'm the keeper of our organizational process. :)!
(11/11 08:54:42) Brian Fioca: yes, Saxy.!
(11/11 08:54:48) Cycreim: I love you guys. :) Awwwwwwww!
(11/11 08:54:49) Professor Askew: We want to be involved in the restoration to the nth degree.!
(11/11 08:54:58) janaba1: I love you all too!
(11/11 08:55:02) Professor Askew: We want to participate.!
(11/11 08:55:02) janaba1 claps her hands
(11/11 08:55:13) Brian Fioca: does that answer your question? !
(11/11 08:55:29) janaba1 claps her hands
(11/11 08:55:29) ireenquench: It gives me something to think about!
(11/11 08:55:31) Saxy: And we're excited to see more and more explorers wanting to participate, too.!
(11/11 08:55:32) Professor Askew: hehe!
(11/11 08:55:38) Professor Askew: We looove to think!!
(11/11 08:55:40) janaba1: lol!
(11/11 08:55:45) CAGrayWolf: K'laamas ... You have a question?!
(11/11 08:55:46) Brian Fioca: if you're asking if I"m a dictator, I'm not. :) am, I? !
(11/11 08:55:47) Brian Fioca: :D!
(11/11 08:55:49) K'laamas: With the things that have changed in the last several years, what specific role or roles do you see the Great Tree fulfilling once the Cavern is officially re-opened?!
(11/11 08:55:54) Saxy: *lol*!
(11/11 08:56:03) Professor Askew: Don't know!!
(11/11 08:56:06) From ireenquench: QUESTION
(11/11 08:56:09) Professor Askew: But, it's exciting.!
(11/11 08:56:19) Professor Askew: All the possibilities.!
(11/11 08:56:20) Brian Fioca: yeah!
(11/11 08:56:23) Brian Fioca: we're not really sure. :)!
(11/11 08:56:31) Professor Askew: we've only scratched the surface.!
(11/11 08:56:33) Saxy: "The Great Tree of Possibilities"!
(11/11 08:56:38) Brian Fioca: but like I said, we want to at least make sure that people know what they can do here!
(11/11 08:56:42) Brian Fioca: yes, Saxy.!
(11/11 08:57:01) Brian Fioca: it took us a long time to realize how much of an impact we could have, and we want to share that knowledge with others!
(11/11 08:57:04) Saxy: That's what a journey is about sometimes. Uncertainty.!
(11/11 08:57:09) To Brian Fioca: Two more questions and then I'll strat the ending process ... you're always welcome to continue afterward.
(11/11 08:57:09) Saxy: Makes it quite exciting. :)!
(11/11 08:57:13) Cycreim: Great question, and yeah we're just as scared as you guys... Maybe scared isn't the best word... but we don't know what's coming any more than the rest of you. We're just regular ol' explorers with a history and a jacket!
(11/11 08:57:34) From catherwood: hi, just saying hello, i think we've met in a former life?
(11/11 08:57:35) Saxy: *lol*!
(11/11 08:57:42) Professor Askew: We hope our enthusiasm becomes infectious.!
(11/11 08:57:46) From Brian Fioca: next
(11/11 08:57:57) CAGrayWolf: Thend ... you have a question?!
(11/11 08:58:00) UberThend: How does one become a member of The Great Tree? And what requirements does one have if they do?
(11/11 08:58:10) Professor Askew: You can't!!!
(11/11 08:58:13) Professor Askew: LOL!
(11/11 08:58:22) UberThend: !!!
(11/11 08:58:25) Professor Askew: Just kidding again.!
(11/11 08:58:25) Saxy: He's just kidding. :P!
(11/11 08:58:25) Cycreim: Oh hush,, Prof!
(11/11 08:58:27) janaba1: lol!
(11/11 08:58:29) Brian Fioca: good qestion. :) we're starting to nail that down... right now it's a rather informal process.!
(11/11 08:58:32) CAGrayWolf slaps Prof with a rubber fish
(11/11 08:58:33) Professor Askew blushes
(11/11 08:58:37) Saxy: *lol*!
(11/11 08:58:43) Brian Fioca: and we'd like to keep it free of too many rules or whatever!
(11/11 08:58:46) janaba1: lol!
(11/11 08:59:06) Cycreim: I dunno, Brian, I'd rather it stay informal...!
(11/11 08:59:07) Brian Fioca: but we want to make sure people don't go around saying "I"m with the Great Tree and you guys are icky!" or whatever...!
(11/11 08:59:18) Professor Askew: Right.!
(11/11 08:59:24) Saxy: It's a gut feeling with us now.!
(11/11 08:59:26) Brian Fioca: because that's happened before and it just hurts everyone!
(11/11 08:59:41) Cycreim: Pretty much the process is... "We like you. Join the Great Tree!"!
(11/11 08:59:45) UberThend: People have actually used the word 'icky'?
(11/11 08:59:49) Professor Askew: hehe!
(11/11 08:59:53) Brian Fioca: we just need to get to know the person - so if you hang around long enough, you're part of us. :)!
(11/11 08:59:54) Saxy: If you get involved in conversation on our forums and we get a better feeling for you..!
(11/11 09:00:00) Cycreim: If ONLY they used the word "icky".!
(11/11 09:00:10) Brian Fioca: yeah, I was censoring a bit ;)!
(11/11 09:00:18) Professor Askew: It's a pickle when you open your doors to everyone then have retroactively let someone go due to their behavior.!
(11/11 09:00:21) Brian Fioca: but here's our problem, right...!
(11/11 09:00:28) janaba1: lol!
(11/11 09:00:33) Brian Fioca: we have a storied past, and people can abuse that... we don't want them to.!
(11/11 09:00:47) Professor Askew: We are both fun and serious.!
(11/11 09:00:54) Saxy: We've had one incident already.!
(11/11 09:00:57) Professor Askew: People have to figure out the balance.!
(11/11 09:01:04) Saxy: And that's why we're a bit cautious, understandably.!
(11/11 09:01:11) Brian Fioca: and people invite their friends, and some of them aren't good people... it's like having a party at your parents house when they're away!
(11/11 09:01:14) From K'laamas: Question!
(11/11 09:01:19) Brian Fioca: it gets out of control, and people ruin it for everyone!
(11/11 09:01:20) Brian Fioca: :)!
(11/11 09:01:20) Marten: Sorry about that. temporal problem.!
(11/11 09:01:21) Professor Askew: Dude!
(11/11 09:01:32) Saxy: No problem, Marten.!
(11/11 09:01:34) janaba1: np!
(11/11 09:01:35) UberThend: I never thought of the GT that way...
(11/11 09:01:49) Professor Askew: What do you mean, Thend?!
(11/11 09:01:56) Cycreim: Oh trust us, it's a neverending party at the Great Tree :)!
(11/11 09:02:03) Saxy laughs
(11/11 09:02:05) UberThend: As a party while the parents are away
(11/11 09:02:06) Brian Fioca: rolls!
(11/11 09:02:09) janaba1 claps her hands
(11/11 09:02:10) Brian Fioca: oh!
(11/11 09:02:11) Brian Fioca: no!
(11/11 09:02:14) Professor Askew laughs
(11/11 09:02:14) UberThend: But I get it now, thanks :)
(11/11 09:02:15) Brian Fioca: that's not what I meant-!
(11/11 09:02:19) Marten: Every time I link back to the cavern, my clothes change. I blame Yeesha.!
(11/11 09:02:28) Brian Fioca: I guess I meant that ... you have to be careful who you let romp around your home, is all.!
(11/11 09:02:30) Saxy: *lol*!
(11/11 09:02:38) Professor Askew: Right.!
(11/11 09:02:41) janaba1: lol!
(11/11 09:02:41) Saxy: Exactly!
(11/11 09:02:43) UberThend: No romping, got it
(11/11 09:02:47) CAGrayWolf: Ireen, you have a question?!
(11/11 09:02:50) ireenquench: Jackets! Can you explain what your Jackets symbolize for you? And why do you want to have them so badly?!
(11/11 09:02:55) Cycreim: Romp responsibly. :)!
(11/11 09:02:59) Professor Askew: My jacket!!!!
(11/11 09:03:03) Brian Fioca: :D!
(11/11 09:03:17) UberThend: And who do you have to know to get a specialized jacket?
(11/11 09:03:19) janaba1: :-)!
(11/11 09:03:19) Marten: As TomahnaGuy would say, "Precious..."!
(11/11 09:03:33) IBnetweazel: lol!
(11/11 09:03:34) janaba1: :-)!
(11/11 09:03:38) Saxy: Prof should tell about the jacket. :)!
(11/11 09:03:52) Professor Askew: Well, I can only speak personally...!
(11/11 09:04:14) Professor Askew: Being in the Cavern was a very new experience for me....!
(11/11 09:04:27) Professor Askew: And it took me awhile to open up....!
(11/11 09:04:44) Professor Askew: I fell in with GT people early on....!
(11/11 09:05:12) Professor Askew: Word went around that Jackets would be distributed to those involved with brian and daedalus..!
(11/11 09:05:24) Professor Askew: to show support and solidarity...!
(11/11 09:05:42) Professor Askew: Aaaand the Sharper disappeared...DRC...and the cavern closed.!
(11/11 09:05:50) Professor Askew: It was a bummer as you all know.!
(11/11 09:05:54) Cycreim: Was that after Sharper opened the Egg Room in his 'hood?!
(11/11 09:06:06) UberThend: Askew tells the bestest stories
(11/11 09:06:07) Professor Askew: And not getting the jacket before made it worse.!
(11/11 09:06:16) Professor Askew: hehe!
(11/11 09:06:19) Saxy: Some of us still don't have jackets, and personally, I have no problem with that.!
(11/11 09:06:36) Saxy: I know where I stand with the GT members, and that's all the jacket I need.!
(11/11 09:06:45) Cycreim: The jackets are kind of a loose end really!
(11/11 09:06:50) Professor Askew: Right.!
(11/11 09:06:54) Professor Askew: No closure!
(11/11 09:07:00) janaba1: very nice Saxy :-)!
(11/11 09:07:03) Cycreim: They symbolize our group, our togetherness and friendship!
(11/11 09:07:10) Brian Fioca: the origins of the jackets go back to when we were pre GT - but the name of the group comes from the jackets... so it's very sentimental. !
(11/11 09:07:11) Saxy: :)!
(11/11 09:07:12) Professor Askew: I'll never get over it.!
(11/11 09:07:17) Marten: It was a very fractious time. People were dividing into groups based on their philosophies. The jacket, a symbol of trust between Sharper and TGT, was a way of recognizing someone who you knew right away had respect of the group.!
(11/11 09:07:19) Cycreim: and to get them back would be to tie our history with the present!
(11/11 09:07:35) Professor Askew: Exactly!
(11/11 09:07:37) <sniffle> Professor Askew is sad
(11/11 09:07:47) ireenquench: A tie to your past, symbol of loss more than gain?!
(11/11 09:07:51) UberThend: Who approached you about having jackets in the first place?
(11/11 09:07:52) Brian Fioca: but they gave us hope, too! because even though times were tough, the jackets symbolized possibility. !
(11/11 09:08:02) Saxy: There, there, Prof.!
(11/11 09:08:03) Brian Fioca: Sharper gave them out. !
(11/11 09:08:05) Marten: The Great Tree of Possibilities.!
(11/11 09:08:20) Brian Fioca: Some of the first to get them were Dusante, Daedalus, Tah, !
(11/11 09:08:26) Professor Askew: No, ireen, ultimately gain.!
(11/11 09:08:27) UberThend makes mental note to get in touch with the Sharp-man
(11/11 09:08:28) Brian Fioca: Preachr46!
(11/11 09:08:29) CAGrayWolf: I remember when Sharper was handing them out.!
(11/11 09:08:45) Professor Askew: Cool!
(11/11 09:08:47) Cycreim: I think I was in the second wave of people to get them...!
(11/11 09:08:48) Brian Fioca: I wasn't the first, but I got it pretty early.!
(11/11 09:08:54) Marten: Who was it that got a jecket just for playing 'heek with Sharper?!
(11/11 09:09:09) Brian Fioca: I forget, :)(!
(11/11 09:09:10) Saxy: ??!
(11/11 09:09:14) Marten: Might have been Tweek.!
(11/11 09:09:17) ireenquench: Gain of what?!
(11/11 09:09:32) CAGrayWolf: I forget as well ... and I was in the cavern that day.!
(11/11 09:09:39) UberThend: lol
(11/11 09:09:48) Professor Askew: A morale booster, ireen.!
(11/11 09:09:56) Professor Askew: Nothing major.!
(11/11 09:10:02) Brian Fioca: it's the great tree of possibilities!
(11/11 09:10:17) CAGrayWolf: OK ... last question. K'laamas, you have a question?!
(11/11 09:10:24) Saxy: I think it helped us to realize that the explorers really do have an affect on what happens in the cavern, Ireen.!
(11/11 09:10:27) Marten: It is a symbol. We don't need the symbol... but we want it.!
(11/11 09:10:31) K'laamas: What would you say is the main "focus" of the GT forums, that makes it different from other forums?!
(11/11 09:10:33) UberThend: lol
(11/11 09:10:41) janaba1: you can read the story at the TGT website, if it's still there!
(11/11 09:10:45) janaba1: this is very nice!
(11/11 09:10:47) Cycreim: Oh man that's a good question!
(11/11 09:11:17) Brian Fioca: the forums are only part of it, we're planning on redo-ing the entire site!
(11/11 09:11:19) Brian Fioca: but!
(11/11 09:11:43) Marten: Daed's going to cringe that his plans are now in the public record.!
(11/11 09:12:03) Brian Fioca: right now it's really our place to talk to everyone and be ourselves and discover our direction and thinkgs like that.!
(11/11 09:12:07) Cycreim: We can't give away too much, see. Ugh, now I'M cringing. :P!
(11/11 09:12:23) janaba1: :-)!
(11/11 09:12:35) UberThend: Hmm
(11/11 09:12:37) Professor Askew: Plus, the beginning has not yet been written.!
(11/11 09:12:44) Brian Fioca: honestly, the forums are cool because - !
(11/11 09:12:56) Brian Fioca: I was going to take them down after the cavern closed, !
(11/11 09:13:14) Brian Fioca: but I didn't, and we'd all poke in there every now and then, and it kept us together. !
(11/11 09:13:29) Professor Askew: Yay!
(11/11 09:13:32) Brian Fioca: hehe!
(11/11 09:13:43) Marten: Maybe it's best to just say: We haven't really seen the direction that things will go with the reopening of the Cavern. When change arrives here... expect the Great Tree site to change and adapt.!
(11/11 09:13:44) janaba1 cheers
(11/11 09:13:53) Brian Fioca: great answer.!
(11/11 09:14:04) UberThend: Thanks for such a cool Town Hall everyone

(11/11 09:14:12) K'laamas claps his hands
(11/11 09:14:16) Saxy: But to answer your question, K'laamas, it's not much different from other Uru community forums except that it's a key part of our organization. That's where we stay intouch and get to know potential members.!
(11/11 09:14:17) Professor Askew: Fun!
