Reference:2007-04-20 Nick White in Jazz's neighborhood

(04/20 23:08:18) Nick White: Haven't seen you for weeks.
(04/20 23:08:20) Jazz: Awww. Poor Kerm
(04/20 23:08:20) Andrew Eldred: Gone wading in Tetsonot already?
(04/20 23:08:26) Jazz: Where have you been?
(04/20 23:08:26) Kermit D Frog: guess I can stay for a little longer :)
(04/20 23:08:35) Jazz: We all missed you
(04/20 23:08:54) Nick White: What's going on?
(04/20 23:08:59) Jazz: Lots of things
(04/20 23:08:59) Nick White: Tell me the latest cavern news.
(04/20 23:09:08) Kermit D Frog: hiho Nick :) so, Tetsonot eh?
(04/20 23:09:18) Kermit D Frog: feels like home to me
(04/20 23:09:24) Jazz roars with laughter
(04/20 23:09:29) Jazz: Not in that water Kerm
(04/20 23:09:30) Nick White: The humidity is good for your skin.
(04/20 23:09:31) Kermit D Frog: bit chilly tho
(04/20 23:09:40) Andrew Eldred: Wait, shouldn't someone tell Nick about the ADM and RR...
(04/20 23:09:43) Jazz: Not too sure about the sparks
(04/20 23:09:48) Jazz nods her head
(04/20 23:09:51) Andrew Eldred: And by someone, I mean the person most qualified. Jazz?
(04/20 23:09:59) Jazz: OK
(04/20 23:09:59) Nick White: Do tell.
(04/20 23:10:14) Jazz: There seems to be some dissent in the Cavern lately
(04/20 23:10:41) Jazz: There is a group formed who are not happy with the DRC
(04/20 23:10:42) Kermit D Frog: I have a first hand account of the ADM members and what they say
(04/20 23:11:11) Jazz: They seem to be growing more powerful
(04/20 23:11:12) Nick White: What's this group? Haven't even heard about it.
(04/20 23:11:15) Jazz: Their numbers are growing
(04/20 23:11:28) Jazz: They are calling themselves the 'Anti-DRC Movement'
(04/20 23:11:28) Nick White: The Anti-DRC Movement?
(04/20 23:11:29) Andrew Eldred: Yeah, that's what happens when you haven't been in cavern in weeks. Revolutions start.
(04/20 23:11:38) Jazz nods her head
(04/20 23:11:46) Nick White: So what are they doing?
(04/20 23:11:57) Jazz: They are using words like 'force' and harassment
(04/20 23:12:03) Jazz: It's worrying
(04/20 23:12:05) Nick White: And is the girl who had the anti-drc hood a while back doing this?
(04/20 23:12:10) Jazz nods her head
(04/20 23:12:20) Nick White: Sydney?
(04/20 23:12:22) Andrew Eldred: Yeah, Nick, you might know her.
(04/20 23:12:25) Andrew Eldred laughs
(04/20 23:12:30) Kermit D Frog: simply put, one moment they're saying it's all about the explorers, and then when asked about something like having guilds, Sydney Austin is all like "not if I have anything to say about it". But when I ask her what if the explorers want it, shes silent
(04/20 23:12:51) Nick White: She's harmless.
(04/20 23:12:58) Jazz: Not so sure about that
(04/20 23:13:04) Kermit D Frog: she doesnt think so
(04/20 23:13:07) Jazz: She seems to have quite a following now
(04/20 23:13:22) Jazz: We are forming our own affiliation
(04/20 23:13:29) Jazz: Hi DM
(04/20 23:13:35) Nick White: The AADRM
(04/20 23:13:39) Dudemom_2000: hi Jazz
(04/20 23:13:40) Jazz: Noooo
(04/20 23:13:48) Jazz: No. Not anti ADM
(04/20 23:13:49) Jazz starts to laugh
(04/20 23:14:00) Jazz: We have called ourselves the Restoration Realists
(04/20 23:14:08) Nick White: I heard the AAADM was forming as well.
(04/20 23:14:08) Kermit D Frog: she honestly believes the DRC are covering up things. but she has no solid proof. she's a sensationalist - a dangerous thing in this place of rumours and hear-say
(04/20 23:14:18) Nick White: Hmm...
(04/20 23:14:33) Jazz: We all know the DRC are not perfect . . . sorry Nick
(04/20 23:14:34) Kermit D Frog: and the professor Matt...
(04/20 23:14:46) Jazz: But there are ways and there are better ways
(04/20 23:14:46) Nick White: All of them except myself of course.
(04/20 23:14:51) Nick White: Alright.
(04/20 23:14:52) Jazz: Of course! lol
(04/20 23:15:04) Nick White: So what is the RR doing?
(04/20 23:15:09) Dudemom_2000: Well, I think the DRC should be able to visit the cavern without getting mobbed or harassed and be able to give out information
(04/20 23:15:17) Jazz: We realise that things can be improved, but we are trying to do that in a peaceful way
(04/20 23:15:24) Kermit D Frog: the ADM talk of giving the DRC a chance to change their ways, but they seriously have problems with the DRC before giving them that chance. The ADM have already made their mind up
(04/20 23:15:26) Jazz: That is exactly one of our aims DM
(04/20 23:15:41) Jazz: So that members of the DRC will come and visit us more often
(04/20 23:15:49) Nick White: Alright.
(04/20 23:15:50) Jazz: If they feel they will not be mobbed or harassed
(04/20 23:16:00) Jazz: We would like to build up a better relationship
(04/20 23:16:03) Sumatria: shorah
(04/20 23:16:05) Dudemom_2000 nods her head
(04/20 23:16:13) Dudemom_2000: shorah Sumatria
(04/20 23:16:17) Andrew Eldred: Wait. Why don't we just -ask- Nick why he/they haven't been around?
(04/20 23:16:18) Nick White: I'm all for relationships.
(04/20 23:16:22) Bob Mackey: Shorah
(04/20 23:16:28) Andrew Eldred: Yeah, we know Nick.
(04/20 23:16:28) Dudemom_2000: lol
(04/20 23:16:54) Jazz: I fear Sydney and her group are more than just rhetoric and bluff
(04/20 23:17:11) Nick White: Alright, well... I guess I'll have to talk to her and see what's up.
(04/20 23:17:21) Jazz: OK. But be careful, Nick
(04/20 23:17:34) Nick White: Always....
(04/20 23:17:36) Jazz: Don't fall for her charms
(04/20 23:17:59) Nick White: Will do.
(04/20 23:18:03) Jazz: Will do?
(04/20 23:18:08) Jazz starts to laugh
(04/20 23:18:26) vid wants to ask a question...
(04/20 23:18:30) Andrew Eldred: What other news in the cavern?
(04/20 23:18:31) Dudemom_2000: that was a happy Bahro
(04/20 23:18:37) Jazz: If you see the purple hard hat on explorers, you know they are affiliated with the Restoration Realists
(04/20 23:18:40) Andrew Eldred: Oh yeah, i was named Heek Champion of the Universe.
(04/20 23:18:47) Dudemom_2000 claps her hands
(04/20 23:18:51) Nick White: Nice work.
(04/20 23:18:55) Dudemom_2000: good Andrew!
(04/20 23:18:58) Nick White: I did like the purple hair better.
(04/20 23:19:02) vid: Mr White... I'm sorry to interrupt... but may I ask a very serious question?
(04/20 23:19:24) Nick White: Yes, Vid. As long as it is very serious.
(04/20 23:19:28) Jazz: lol
(04/20 23:19:31) Nick White: I mean very. Not just a little.
(04/20 23:19:32) vid: It's VERY serious.
(04/20 23:19:35) Andrew Eldred suppresses a giggle. This is -serious-!
(04/20 23:19:41) Nick White: Ok.
(04/20 23:19:49) Nick White: Then, by all means, you must ask it.
(04/20 23:19:59) vid: Tetsonot was placed in the museum today... is it DRC approved? Early reports are that it's very... potentially dangerous.
(04/20 23:20:04) Andros: Nick, i have a questuion regarding the pod age. we know the name of some parts of the age but do we know the name of the age as a whole?
(04/20 23:20:22) Nick White: The Age is DRC approved.
(04/20 23:20:32) vid blinks
(04/20 23:20:33) Andrew Eldred: But is the pod?
(04/20 23:20:33) Dudemom_2000: We should let Nick answer the first question and then go onto the next question
(04/20 23:20:42) vid: Well, I'm scared as fiery abyss. But thank you very much.
(04/20 23:20:46) Nick White: The DRC put the Book out.
(04/20 23:21:07) Jazz: Is it safe there?
(04/20 23:21:13) Jared: I'm concerned about the DRC's judgement then
(04/20 23:21:14) Nick White: I hope so.
(04/20 23:21:17) Sumatria: The pod seems to be unstable though
(04/20 23:21:28) Andrew Eldred whispers to Nick.
(04/20 23:23:00) Nick White: So what else is going on?
(04/20 23:23:16) slider: Someone broke the new pod
(04/20 23:23:26) Dudemom_2000: You missed one of the greatest Pod Parties ever, Nick
(04/20 23:23:32) Andrew Eldred: Ah, I expected a Gira trip.
(04/20 23:23:42) Nick White: Bummer, I love Pod Parties.
(04/20 23:23:43) Andrew Eldred: Uhm, why doesn't someone ask how GZ calibration is going?
(04/20 23:23:59) Nadnerb: why don't you?
(04/20 23:23:59) vid: DM... the sequel might be on saturday :)
(04/20 23:24:10) Dudemom_2000: hurray!!!!
(04/20 23:24:21) Jazz: Awww. I can't come on Saturday
(04/20 23:25:36) Andros: Did he say anything good?
(04/20 23:26:01) Jazz: At least he answered my request for him to come in and see us
(04/20 23:26:09) Dudemom_2000 nods her head
(04/20 23:26:15) rivenraft: he's in the city
(04/20 23:26:15) Andros: Thanks jazz for asking ;)
(04/20 23:26:19) Dudemom_2000: that was nice of him
(04/20 23:26:52) Jazz: It's nice to have lots of visitors
(04/20 23:26:54) Andrew Eldred: It's like... a population!
(04/20 23:27:07) Jazz: Check out the imager while you're here
(04/20 23:27:16) Jazz: Lots of info there
(04/20 23:27:57) Andrew Eldred: Just for the record, that was pretty nicely civilized.
(04/20 23:28:27) Dudemom_2000: I am glad he stopped by. It bodes well at least for him in keeping dialogue open between the explorers and the DRC
(04/20 23:28:45) Jazz: Yes. And he didn't get mobbed too badly this time
(04/20 23:28:59) Jazz: So thank you everyone
(04/20 23:29:13) vid: I'm glad he answered the question about the pod... feel a little safer now...
(04/20 23:29:14) Melcabral: shorah all
(04/20 23:29:20) Dudemom_2000: Well if we can come to some sort of order when the DRC show up and then we can ask our questions
(04/20 23:29:24) Jazz: I just think everyone was so surprised to see him, that they didn't have anything to ask! lol
(04/20 23:29:30) Janine: I'm glad you feel safe vid
(04/20 23:29:36) vid: Whoa... hey Janine!
(04/20 23:29:39) Andros: Did thend released part 2 and 3 of the creation the internet?
(04/20 23:29:43) Janine: I don't feel safe in that pod
(04/20 23:29:45) Dudemom_2000: I don't.....that place creeps me out....
(04/20 23:29:51) Dudemom_2000 shivers
(04/20 23:29:56) vid: I don't feel safe in MOST of the pods...
(04/20 23:30:01) Jazz: hehe
(04/20 23:30:03) Janine: lol agreed
(04/20 23:30:12) vid: but.. I feel a little better now knowing that it's not Yeesha messing around with us
(04/20 23:30:16) j'aiefel: feels great..if you are a salamander
(04/20 23:30:17) Dudemom_2000: plus my feet are wet and clammy
(04/20 23:30:24) Jazz: Eeeeuuuw
(04/20 23:30:29) Dudemom_2000: I needed a beer after going there.....
(04/20 23:30:34) Kermit D Frog: bugger. just got back. anyway, just so you know, after being at the ADM meeting yesterday I saw 3 things. They've got it in for the DRC. They'd rather see people get fired from the DRC than the DRC change as they are. And they have no care for PR - they are snippy and at worst rude to even little me. and I'm just a frogman.
(04/20 23:42:17) Dudemom_2000: Well, when the DRC come to visit can we set up some guidelines of etiquette?
(04/20 23:42:42) Jazz: That's an excellent idea DM. Post that in our Suggestion Box
(04/20 23:42:45) Nichola: yeah.. like act normal
(04/20 23:42:55) Jazz: www.uruguilds.org
(04/20 23:43:00) Nichola: the Barho agrees
(04/20 23:43:04) Dudemom_2000: you know like raise your hand and then have someone call each one in turn to ask their question and let the DRC answer if they want to
(04/20 23:43:20) Jazz: We have the facility now
(04/20 23:43:23) Jazz wants to ask a question...
(04/20 23:43:25) Dudemom_2000: ok. I will
(04/20 23:45:25) Jazz: I wanted to ask him about the Town Hall meeting
(04/20 23:45:51) Jazz: If a member of the DRC would attend
(04/20 23:45:55) Dudemom_2000: I have not kept up....Is there going to be one scheduled?
(04/20 23:46:01) Jazz: 28th April
(04/20 23:46:05) Dudemom_2000: ooh
(04/20 23:46:20) Jazz: lol. It's all on the uruguild forum
(04/20 23:46:29) Dudemom_2000: ok. I will check there
(04/20 23:49:30) Kermit D Frog: now we just have to figure out a way to save the ADM from themselves ;)
(04/20 23:49:54) Bukwheet: I didn't know that was possible
(04/20 23:50:16) Kermit D Frog: I always like to believe theres... possibilities :)
(04/20 23:50:38) Jazz: If there are enough of us who believe in the RR, they will naturally fade away
(04/20 23:51:11) Andrew Eldred: Agreed.

Nick White returned to the neighborhood later:

(04/21 00:04:21) Jazz: Did you talk to Sydney?
(04/21 00:04:28) Nichola: lol.. if you are serious.. let me know.. I even have the photos to prove it
(04/21 00:04:29) Andrew Eldred: Hey Nick, how's the GZ calibration going?
(04/21 00:04:31) Nick White: I did.
(04/21 00:04:39) Nick White: Pretty good from what I understand.
(04/21 00:04:50) Nichola: oh jeez...
(04/21 00:04:50) Jazz: We've all been doing our bit for it
(04/21 00:04:59) Andrew Eldred: Jazz, sorry I cut off your question there.
(04/21 00:05:01) Nick White: Laxman is happy.
(04/21 00:05:09) Jazz: Phew
(04/21 00:05:11) Andrew Eldred: So, how'd the talk go?
(04/21 00:05:16) Nick White: Good.
(04/21 00:05:17) Jazz: I'd hate to see him unhappy. lol
(04/21 00:05:25) Nichola is sitting down for "Nick White" hour
(04/21 00:05:31) Andrew Eldred: ... A man of many words.
(04/21 00:05:32) Time: Ooo, It's the famous Nick White. Pleased to meet you.
(04/21 00:05:35) Time bows
(04/21 00:05:35) Nichola: :-)
(04/21 00:05:45) Jazz: What did she have to say?
(04/21 00:05:46) Nick White: Same Time.
(04/21 00:06:01) Nick White: Told me about her little group. Wants to meet with Cate.
(04/21 00:06:11) Nick White: Don't trust the DRC - secrets, lies, Watson....
(04/21 00:06:17) Nick White: Blah, blah, blah.
(04/21 00:06:19) Time: DocOlanA wanted me to ask you if you had any more documents for the SoDK to distribute when we finish the creation story in 2 weeks.
(04/21 00:06:23) Jazz: Hmmm. that's what she's been saying
(04/21 00:06:27) Nick White: You bet Time.
(04/21 00:06:36) Time: Awesome. ^_^
(04/21 00:06:39) Nick White: Just give me Time.
(04/21 00:06:44) Gondar: Hi all..
(04/21 00:06:45) Jazz starts to laugh
(04/21 00:06:49) Andrew Eldred: On D'ni philosophy? Because I asked so long ago...
(04/21 00:06:51) Time: Will do. I'm sure he'll be happy to hear it.
(04/21 00:06:59) Nick White: When it' s Time I'll give them to you.
(04/21 00:07:06) Jazz groans
(04/21 00:07:12) Andrew Eldred: Haha
(04/21 00:07:18) Time: Sounds like a plan. Thanks again for the first one. It's been a very interesting read. ^_^
(04/21 00:07:20) Nick White: Time will tell everyone else.
(04/21 00:07:23) Jazz: Jokes aren't getting better
(04/21 00:07:36) Nick White: Give me Time.
(04/21 00:07:44) Time laughs
(04/21 00:07:45) Nick White: Time knows all.
(04/21 00:07:49) Jazz: Will Cate meet with her, do you think?
(04/21 00:07:49) Nick White: Alright.
(04/21 00:07:53) Nick White: No.
(04/21 00:07:56) Jazz: Good
(04/21 00:07:57) Bukwheet: I don't think Time flies, though
(04/21 00:08:05) Jazz groans again
(04/21 00:08:07) Gondar: But fruit does.
(04/21 00:08:12) Jazz slaps Gondar
(04/21 00:08:15) Time: I've flown once or twice. ^_^
(04/21 00:08:18) Gondar: Ow!
(04/21 00:08:27) Nick White: And boy your arms hurt...
(04/21 00:08:29) Andrew Eldred: Did you tell her Cate wouldn't?
(04/21 00:08:31) Gondar laughs
(04/21 00:08:32) Nick White: Yeah.
(04/21 00:08:41) Andrew Eldred: And her response?
(04/21 00:08:59) Nick White: Well I told her Cate doesn't meet with every little group that comes along.
(04/21 00:09:12) Jazz: I bet she liked that . . . not
(04/21 00:09:24) Andrew Eldred: But she has a professor! From ... some university!
(04/21 00:09:30) Andrew Eldred employs sarcasm.
(04/21 00:09:50) Jazz: I believe they will try and get their own way by any means
(04/21 00:10:04) Nick White: Well, I like Sydney. She has reasons to be upset but I'm not worried about her group.
(04/21 00:10:08) Time: We talking about the Anti DRC movement people?
(04/21 00:10:13) Jazz: Yes, Time
(04/21 00:10:13) Nick White: Yeah.
(04/21 00:10:23) Nick White: Time is ticking.
(04/21 00:10:30) Jazz moves away from Time
(04/21 00:10:31) Andrew Eldred: Time has come for that discussion.
(04/21 00:10:32) Time: Ah, I met some fo them last night. They didn't really seem like a pitchforks and torches bunch.
(04/21 00:10:34) Gondar: I figure it'll blow over one way or another. They work themselves up, and then lose interest and move on to another crusade.
(04/21 00:10:50) Nick White: Yeah, that's what I figure.
(04/21 00:10:53) Jazz: We are trying to stymie their progress
(04/21 00:11:01) Nichola: Syd.. think she has you wrapped around her finger.. there Nick.. sorry to say
(04/21 00:11:10) Time: When i asked them about their stance they just wanted a bit more openness as far as I could tell.
(04/21 00:11:12) Nick White: I'm staying out of the politics.
(04/21 00:11:17) Nichola: me too
(04/21 00:11:18) Gondar: Smart move.
(04/21 00:11:18) Andrew Eldred: Uh-huh.
(04/21 00:11:27) Time: A wise decision, if I do say so myself. ^_^
(04/21 00:11:29) Nick White: No one has me wrapped. Not even Jazz.
(04/21 00:11:31) Jazz: Will we be seeing more of you now?
(04/21 00:11:42) Nichola: hmm.. lol
(04/21 00:11:43) Jazz: lol. Never thought I did
(04/21 00:11:46) Andrew Eldred: Yeah, why the long silence?
(04/21 00:11:49) Gondar: Nick White: Unwrapped
(04/21 00:11:53) Nick White: Does Heaven ever show up anymore?
(04/21 00:12:02) Jazz: Not often
(04/21 00:12:08) Nick White: Been away on the surface and then I was pretty busy down here.
