FED
MEET AND GREET with DATASPACE HOST GALINFENNER (the Gecko) |
Galinfenner smiles, "Hi" Galinfenner is sorry to be late Redspice applauds..... "let me advertise real quick ...", says Galinfenner. "Hello old friend... I told you I wouldn't miss your M&G", smiles Jordy. "Thanks for coming sweets", smiles Galinfenner. Galinfenner says, "I'm glad you're here." Galinfenner adverts "Took you long enough, I only got 2 hours", says Jordy with a wink. Mouse snickers and ties Galin's shoe laces together before scurrying back to GW's pocket. Redspice whispers to mouse to pay attention to the kilt... Carrying daisies and blue orchids Esperanza has appeared with a shimmer of teleportation effect. Tiki smiles, "bet Galin could fill 2 hours easily" "Sorry I'm late everyone", says Esperanza. Esperanza asks, "Okay, are we ready?" "Thank you all for coming tonight", says Esperanza. Galinfenner takes a deep breath Esperanza says, "Since it seemed unseemly for Galin to interview himself, I agreed to do the honors" Galinfenner didn't wanna go blind Esperanza says, "And I am always up to torm...er interview" Esperanza grins Galinfenner grins Esperanza invites Galin to take his seat in the center Galinfenner sits Galinfenner stands and pulls the burr off his kilt Galinfenner sits "Are we ready", says Esperanza. Esperanza asks, "Comfy Galin?" "yes, I"m ready", says Galinfenner with a wink. Esperanza smiles Sirglec turns up the fire. "Okay...let's start with the traditional question, How did you find Federation?", asks Esperanza. Galinfenner looks for a popsicle or something Racingnut waits for espy to really torture galin Mouse blushes and thinks a man in a kilt shouldn't sit like that.. Zyphr hands Galinfenner a "SUCKER" Zyphr smiles sweetly... Redspice chuckles... Esperanza averts her eyes "Well, I'd been on AOL for a few months. One day there was a banner ... advertising this game that looked like a space adventure.", says Galinfenner. Galinfenner asks, "Ok, so I thought it was Star Trek ok?" Galinfenner smirks Galinfenner says, "The Federation." Esperanza grins Racingnut wonders if modern scots wear bvds like in the commercial Fancy could see why Galin would have thought that. "So I checked it out. I had a blast, there was a whole bunch going on on my screen.", says Galinfenner. Galinfenner says, "I was paying by the hour then, so as I had never played this type of game before, I loggged off..." Galinfenner says, "and went to get the guide." Esperanza asks, "you read the guide?" "Really?", asks Esperanza. Galinfenner says, "And that's basically how I found it." Galinfenner nods Galinfenner winks and says, "Yes I read it offline, then came back in." Esperanza marvels. I never knew anybody who read the guide before :) "WEll, two reasons...", says Galinfenner. Mouse did back then... and even printed it.. "I didn't want to look like an idiot for 1.", says Galinfenner. Gwarrior has read it several times. "and I didn't want to pay to make a bunch of mistakes for 2", says Galinfenner with a wink. Roslyn has read the guide. Fancy did so as well. "So I read about being a newbie, wrote down the directions to the office, and logged back on", says Galinfenner. Galinfenner winks and says, "then got lost after getting my ship" Galinfenner grins Esperanza grins Jordy sure hopes she remembered to turn on the webcam she planted under the kilt Tiki giggles Galinfenner has always been directionally challenged Gwarrior chuckles. Redspice is so glad to hear that.... Tiki is glad she's not the only directionally-challenged person here "Well then...who got you unlost from the Shipyard?", asks Esperanza. Esperanza asks, "Who do you remember back then?" "ahh.. I yelled HELP on the coms..", says Galinfenner. Galinfenner says, "and this MagsT1000 shimmered in front of me." Galinfenner says, "OF course I was so impressed I didn't know what to do." Tiki says, "lol" Redspice chuckles.. Galinfenner says, "But he led me out to my ship. (I thought Mags was like Maggie a girl at first but oh well)" "You were at a loss for words?", asks Esperanza. Galinfenner nods "Believe it! hee hee", says Galinfenner. Jordy giggles Fancy says, "Probably more like 'Majesty 1000'..." Sirglec doesn't. Galinfenner nods "WEll, Mags later became game manager and made me a host", says Galinfenner. Mouse tries hard to picture Galin lost on Earth.. Esperanza says, "Whoa" Galinfenner chuckles Esperanza says, "Wait...something had to happen between brand new commander and host" "well, yeah", says Galinfenner. Galinfenner tries not to be too verbose Tiki remembers the welcome to fed letters from Galin Galinfenner says, "Let's see..." Galinfenner asks, "You did? DO you have it?" Jordy never got one "I think I remember it", says Gwarrior. Galinfenner says, "I've got the one from Fundroid but not Galin." Zyphr didn't either... "not anymore, it's on my old computer", says Tiki. Galinfenner says, "Anyway... I was a hauler for about a month I think." Esperanza asks, "Were you Galinfenner then?" "Hmm, come to think of it, yes, there were welcome letters to Fed. And ones when you made Trader, too...", says Fancy. Esperanza asks, "Or who were you?" Galinfenner grins "Actually no I was Mark0224", says Galinfenner. "Ah", says Esperanza. Galinfenner turns red Esperanza smiles Esperanza tsks. Numbers in your name Galinfenner says, "Anyway, I didn't have any friends... and had no idea what it was all about really." "But I hauled my butt off and sometimes sat in the Cantina with wide eyes", says Galinfenner. "The Cantina then was very.. err.. busy.", says Galinfenner. "lol", says Dooeee. Tiki giggles Gwarrior remember sitting in the Cantina. Galinfenner grins Gwarrior smiles. Esperanza nods solemnly Racingnut says, "to say the least galin lol" Roslyn giggles and glad to know Galin did as she did. Dooeee says, "hard to picture Gain wide eyed" Esperanza asks, "Would you say it was a bit more boistrous then than now?" "That would be a horrible understatement!", exclaims Galinfenner. Esperanza grins "I met some friends there though.", says Galinfenner. Galinfenner says, "Chilichese..." Redspice nods like a bobble head doll... Galinfenner says, "Sewerrat... Ghost11..." "My best friend, I can't even remember his name.", says Galinfenner. "ouch", says Dooeee. "It's wonderful to be memorable", smiles Esperanza. Galinfenner nods Fancy says, "Remembers many of those names." Dooeee says, "me too" Esperanza asks, "Okay so what rank did Mark achieve before he caught the eye of the staff?" Galinfenner says, "It really irks me that I can't remember." Galinfenner says, "Well, when I started hanging in Chez Diesel, I'd made it to Adventurer." "you found CD's early", smiles Tiki. "And Freya had posted an ad for "greeters" .. people to help new people.", says Galinfenner. Esperanza says, "All the way to Adventurer" Wyldcat giggles Galinfenner nods Galinfenner says, "Hey, no one was giving me groats and I was playing about an hour a day" Galinfenner grins Dooeee grins Wyldcat blushes "So I talked to ... Freya I think.", says Galinfenner. Galinfenner says, "Can't remember, and she said the minimum rank was Trader." Dooeee feels for galin Galinfenner says, "But they made an exception for me. Can't rmember why now." Tiki winks and says, "musta been the kilt" Esperanza nods "So I started as a Greeter..", says Galinfenner. Ditzy wonders if it was the kilt... Zyphr winks and says, "Because you're exceptional?" Redspice nods and agrees "Whic was less official than a Navigator.", says Galinfenner with a wink. Zyphr strives for brownie points... Esperanza thinks it must be the great legs but what does she know? Galinfenner says, "I dind't have a kilt to much much later." Galinfenner grins "So in the meantime, I made it to merchant.", says Galinfenner. Galinfenner says, "That was still when there were no player planets." "I had to get factories in SOL and on about 7 or so Host-played planets.", says Galinfenner. Esperanza wonders if you can still do that. Probably not "The competition was stiff as everyone was an FO or below.", says Galinfenner. "Not in Sol at least.", says Fancy. Galinfenner says, "No you can't." Galinfenner says, "After we got enough player planets, they took that code out." Tiki bets Galin didn't have arts facs Fancy tries to remember which Imperial Edict now outlaws them. "But you had to offer higher wages than the minimum sometimes", says Galinfenner. Esperanza nods "and set layoff pay if you wanted workers.", says Galinfenner. Galinfenner says, "At that time you had a 10 day cycle." Galinfenner says, "You had to make so much profit in 10 days to promote from Merchant" Galinfenner looks at Fancy Galinfenner asks, "How much was it Fancy?" Galinfenner grins "I think it was 25,000,000 IG.", says Fancy. Jazir chuckles Galinfenner nods "If you missed it, YOu had to wait another 10 days", says Galinfenner. Dooeee nods Galinfenner says, "I think I was Merchant for about a month." Galinfenner grins "wasnt it 20 days at one point", says Ibunyc. Galinfenner says, "Then came the most wonderful rank ever in the history of Fed." Racingnut nods 24 "In 1997, I think.", says Fancy. "Could be Ibu, I don't remember.", says Galinfenner. Esperanza asks, "Which was?" Ibunyc says, "yeah" "Anyway, I made JP", says Galinfenner. Galinfenner says, "which at that time meant you were *SOMEBODY*" Galinfenner laughs Esperanza nods Galinfenner says, "JP's were the top dogs." Tiki chuckles Dooeee laughs "Yes it did", says Esperanza. Ibunyc laughs Racingnut nods "No one could spy you", says Galinfenner. "And you had this totally awesome puzzle you had to do.", says Galinfenner. Dooeee nods and nods "My best friends were made dying while doing that thing", says Galinfenner with a wink. Gwarrior chuckles. Galinfenner says, "It was really tough, but tons of fun." Esperanza nods Tiki winks and says, "dying was bad" Esperanza asks, "And you eventually solved it?" Haeger asks, "The snark?" "Yes I did.", says Galinfenner. Fancy got to do it the second time around. Racingnut became jp when the snark was phased out "Yes the Snark", smiles Galinfenner. "And this was still as Mark?", asks Esperanza. Ibunyc bows to galins greatness Haeger remembers doing it "well I'd d'd 3 times at JP.", says Galinfenner. "Oh wow", says Esperanza. Racingnut helped with it a couple times but never did it Galinfenner nods "Ouch!", exclaims Sirglec. Esperanza asks, "So when was Galinfenner born?" "Stupid ones too. Forgetting ot insure", says Galinfenner. "Ok ok. I'll jump forward a little. But wait on Galin", says Galinfenner. "dd'ing was really bad", says Tiki with a wink. "Okay", smiles Esperanza. "After about a year.. in February or so of 96 I finaly made it to PO", says Galinfenner. Galinfenner says, "And in March, I was asked to become Host" Galinfenner says, "I'd been doing the scheduling for the greeters and had a captain character to do it with." "Hazed had this idea to do Events", says Galinfenner. Racingnut agrees with tiki..no getting back to po within a week back then "So the staff kicked it around and I volunteered ::cough:: to manage them", says Galinfenner. Fancy perks up. Galinfenner says, "Our first one was Scavenger Hunt done by C5crwchief." "I was made Fundriod", says Galinfenner. "err Fundroid", says Galinfenner. Dooeee grins "Was Fundroid anything like Galin?", asks Esperanza. Dooeee asks, "that was you?" Galinfenner says, "Fun was really fun to play but tired me out." Galinfenner says, "Oh god no." "The little beast ran around bouncing and eating chocolate bunnies and drnking jolt cola", says Galinfenner. Tiki laughs Gwarrior chuckles. Dooeee laughs "He used to piss off Cryptosporidium for fun", says Galinfenner. Esperanza grins Galinfenner grins Galinfenner says, "Crypto started bumping him whenever he bounced." "that was never a good idea back then lol", says Racingnut. Fancy bursts out laughing. Felina hated typing cryptosporidium Galinfenner nods Ditzy chuckles Galinfenner says, "Too much Jolt does things to the circuits" Galinfenner grins Esperanza asks, "So what happened to Fundroid?" "Well, a bunch of droid characters started showing up", says Galinfenner. Racingnut laughsd "And MagsT thought it best not to confuse them with staff characters.", says Galinfenner. "So he had me kill Fundroid and think up a new name.", says Galinfenner. Galinfenner says, "Fundroid got a cold from the Cleaner. He had this 'thing' for the cleaner ..." Esperanza giggles "And it turned into some sort of strange Droid virus and killed him.", says Galinfenner. Gwarrior chuckles. "So I sat down and started writing.", says Galinfenner. Galinfenner exclaims, "Determined not to be host mark0224!" Jordy giggles Gwarrior says, "I actually think I remember that name" Galinfenner says, "I wrote out about 15 names that I thought were acceptable and started trying to get them as AOL accounts." Gwarrior laughs. Galinfenner grins "That was waayyy back G", says Galinfenner with a wink. Galinfenner says, "The first one that took was Galinfenner" Galinfenner winks and says, "So I was born" "Why Galinfenner?", asks Esperanza. Zyphr wonders how you came up with that one... Tiki asks, "didn't it used to be Galinfennr without the second e?" Galinfenner asks, "I dunno. Sounded good?" Galinfenner grins Racingnut wonders too Fancy says, "Yes, I remember it lacking a "e" or two." Galinfenner says, "Tiki I think you are right." Racingnut nods "AOL wouldn't take the full name", smiles Galinfenner. Galinfenner had forgotten that "Right..10 letters only", says Esperanza. Galinfenner nods Felina still has that on her buddy list;) "So I put on a kilt and have been here since.", says Galinfenner. Esperanza asks, "And you have been a Federation host now for how long?" "right my AIM name is lacking an e too.", says Galinfenner. Jordy checks her buddy list Galinfenner thinks "Yep, no "e"", smiles Jordy. Galinfenner says, "since about May of 1996 I think" Esperanza nods Galinfenner nods and smiles at Jordy Galinfenner says, "Funny thing.." Jordy has given Dooeee a hot tickle! "Mags told me that hosts only last a year", says Galinfenner with a wink. Dooeee grins Galinfenner chuckles Esperanza says, "Yeah, that's how they get volunteers" Galinfenner nods Fancy thinks Galin is upping the average. "I was the first AOL host", says Galinfenner. "The rest had come from Aries Fed", says Galinfenner. Esperanza says, "So you have the unique perspective of being both player and host" "I suppose I do yes.", says Galinfenner. "So the question you ask everybody else......what would you change about Fed?", asks Esperanza. Galinfenner grins Dooeee ducks Racingnut would toss it in the bin and start again..oh wait no he wouldnt "Well, if I had my way, I'd teach people not to be so damn thin skinned.", says Galinfenner. Gwarrior nods. Dooeee cheers "Take it easy, chill out, have some fun", says Galinfenner with a wink. Esperanza tries very hard to keep a cool objectivity here Roslyn blinks. "As for the game mechanics...", says Galinfenner. Roslyn asks, "Now why would people be thin skinned?" Ditzy wonders how to change peoples nature... some sort of mind ray, or maybe skin ray... Dooeee grins "Well, Ros it happens. We invest our emotions in this place.", says Galinfenner. "lets talk to ming bout thickening peoples skins", says Racingnut. Galinfenner asks, "You can hear 'It's just a game' but it's more isn't it?" Galinfenner smiles Galinfenner says, "Plus we deal with a lack of communication" Roslyn says, "Just teasing Galin I am aware of how much people of each people put into Fed." Galinfenner nods Roslyn groans. Roslyn says, "I can type really I can." Galinfenner says, "If you take a speech class you learn that actual words are onlyh a small part of communication." "later guys", says Ibunyc. "vocal communication.", says Galinfenner. Ibunyc has given Galinfenner a nice kiss! Ibunyc has just disappeared. "wow he kissed me.", says Galinfenner. Galinfenner smirks "Anyway..", says Galinfenner. Esperanza grins Galinfenner asks, "Where was I?" Dooeee laughs Gwarrior chuckles. "He kisses good too doesn't he", smiles Esperanza. Galinfenner laughs Roslyn giggles. Dooeee laughs Galinfenner reserves judgement Zyphr thought it was a nice kiss... ;) "Talking about communication.", says Fancy. "Oh yeah. see... when you talk to someone face to face...", says Galinfenner. Roslyn thinks the kilt will determine Redspice winks and says, "that was a quick communication that got your attention..." "least it wasnt a hot kiss,,someone might ask questions", says Racingnut. "Or passionate!", exclaims Roslyn. Galinfenner says, "You hear their inflection, get their body language.. you get more of what they are trying to tell you." Esperanza wants to hear Galin's point here "In here...", says Galinfenner. "we are reduced to just words.", says Galinfenner. Zyphr thinks that causes BIG misunderstandings... Galinfenner says, "That leads to mass amounts of misunderstandings." "Exactly", says Galinfenner. Tiki agrees Racingnut is the most emotionally unemotional person in fed ;) Roslyn smiles, "So talking with your hands is very important?" Galinfenner says, "Have to be very sure you understand what someone is saying before you assume things." Galinfenner nods and grins at Ros Roslyn laughs. Redspice chuckles at Ros Racingnut grins at ros "So.....", says Esperanza. Dooeee writes all this down for the next time he gets in a fuse... Esperanza nods Dooeee says, "fuss" Esperanza leans on Galin's shoulder and gets very serious Roslyn points to the i Dooee didn't dot. "So Galin....", says Esperanza. Mouse just changes her mood.. Galinfenner licks Espy's nose Tiki thought winkies and smileys were body language "Inquiring minds want to know", says Esperanza. Galinfenner asks, "uh huh?" Esperanza asks, "What do you wear under the kilt?" Racingnut says, "ive been doing that a lot but my monitor doesnt seem to pay much interest in my hand expressions" Galinfenner says, "well, I"ve never made it a secret" Redspice twirls a little ribbon.... Galinfenner stands up and flashes the audience with a view of his Barney Boxers Gwarrior laughs. Esperanza laughs Roslyn giggles. Galinfenner grins and sits back down "GECKO!", shouts Zyphr. Esperanza moves between Redspice and Galin "Yikes Red, get'em", says Roslyn. Redspice chuckles... Galinfenner says, "Barney is a purple dinosaur for those who don't know." "sorry...could not resist...", says Redspice with a wink. Mouse has never seen legs so hairy. Esperanza says, "One of my earliest memories of Fed was being in Fedrukkers" Tiki winks and says, "Barney has a big nose" Esperanza says, "And exing Galin" Galinfenner chuckles Galinfenner nods Wyldcat writes a new post. ;) Gwarrior laughs. >ex galinfenner "And his description was something like....he leers at you and slowly raises his kilt", says Esperanza. Galinfenner asks, "really?" Roslyn laughs. Tiki giggles Esperanza nods Galinfenner wonders when he did that. "You sure?", asks Galinfenner. "Very sure", says Esperanza. Esperanza says, "It's my earliest memory of you" Galinfenner asks, "Maybe you had a nightmare that was real seeming?" Redspice laughs "Nope", says Esperanza. Galinfenner chuckles Galinfenner says, "That's funny" Esperanza says, "Okay I'll open it to the audience" Tiki raises her hand Mouse raises her paw.. Esperanza says, "Anything you've ever wanted to ask one of Fed's most popular hosts...nows your chance" "Tiki", says Esperanza. "oo careful. Uni and Felina will kill me if you say I"m more popular", says Galinfenner. "I remember when you used to award groats as prizes for events, Galin... who gave you the groats to award to the players?", asks Tiki. Esperanza was tactful Galinfenner says, "ahh. Hosts get a stipend of 100 meg everytime we sign in" Tiki says, "100 megs? geesh, sign me up..." Galinfenner nods Esperanza asks, "Are you allowed to give it to anybody?" Esperanza asks, "Or you're limited?" "Well, when the prize was a gig it took a lot of signing in and out", says Galinfenner. "Ahhh... So, that's why you guys sign in and out repeatedly.", says Sirglec with a wink. Jordy hugs everyone else and waves Galinfenner says, "No no" Esperanza says, "OKay Mouse next and then Jordy" Galinfenner says, "It's recorded in the game log and Hazed is notified if I give out groats" Zyphr smiles, "cya girly" Mouse wonders what Galin's favorite kind of cheese is. Fancy says, "Ah ha, THAT must have been the "secret money machine" I must have heard of long ago." Galinfenner nods at Sir "right", smiles Galinfenner. Tiki nods "I'd give 100 meg, sign out, sign back in, give 100 meg..", says Galinfenner. Esperanza says, "MOuse wants to know your favorite cheese Galin" Galinfenner winks and says, "Was glad when we started giving out points" Galinfenner says, "My favorite cheese is Swiss cheese" "I like holes", says Galinfenner. Mouse thinks this is a good choice.. Esperanza grins Galinfenner smirks "He didn't say that, did he?", asks Sirglec. Redspice roflmao Roslyn hopes she heard wrong. "those holes are made by mold", says Tiki. Dooeee nods Esperanza stares at the ceiling Galinfenner says, "really? wow" Dooeee was biteing his tongue Esperanza asks, "Any other questions?" Zyphr nods at Sirglec.. "He did!" Galinfenner looks innocent Galinfenner asks, "What?" Felina has one Esperanza says, "Felina" Zyphr chuckles at Felina... Galinfenner grins Wyldcat laughs "OH! Felina has a question!", exclaims Zyphr. Zyphr smacks her forehead... ;) Galinfenner wonders if Felina is speechless Esperanza nudges Felina Redspice roflmao Mouse blinks at Zyphr. Sirglec thinks everyone's mind went right in the gutter after Galin said that. ;) Felina exclaims, "it's coming!" "lol", says Dooeee. Zyphr chuckles... Esperanza chokes Zyphr winks and says, "well, timing -is- everything" "went? or there already?", says Wyldcat with a wink. Felina grins Mouse hides all the swiss cheese in the room "sorry", says Felina. "Well, Scotsmen were also known for golf...", says Fancy. Dooeee says, "oh god" "Right Golf. That's what I was talking about", says Galinfenner. Gwarrior helps Mouse hide the cheese. Galinfenner grins Felina had the wrong question Roslyn giggles and says nothing. "but I was wondering about the story of you and the missing kilt", says Felina. Racingnut says, "yes but it suffered when the brits outlawed it to focus more on trained archers" Dooeee says, "the wrong reply at the wrong time" Zyphr has a question... Galinfenner says, "which one? LOL" Wyldcat teleports over to redspcie Redspice chuckles... "when you were naked in the fed news story", says Felina. Galinfenner asks, "Not sure which time my kilt was missing.. when was this?" Felina laughs "we had a naked olympic run one time.", says Galinfenner. Felina asks, "hmmmm I think it was 3 years ago?" Galinfenner says, "I don't remember too well." Galinfenner grins Galinfenner asks, "Someone stold my kilt?" "wouldn't have missed this for a Butterfinger", says Dooeee with a wink. Galinfenner says, "I think I remember that" Galinfenner laughs "all those years and stories jumble together", smiles Tiki. Galinfenner nods Esperanza nods Esperanza asks, "Zyphr you have a question?" "Actually I have two", says Zyphr with a wink. Esperanza says, "Fire away" Felina exclaims, "yes!" Fancy also recalls a story about a missing kilt sometime. Galinfenner prepares a statement "My first one is to describe your most embarassing moment... the second is to talk about what you'd like to see different in Fed...", says Zyphr. Wyldcat laughs "oh god. EMbarrassing moments are my life.", says Galinfenner. Galinfenner thinks "why am I -not- surprised!", exclaims Zyphr. "I typo'd sex instead of six a lot.", says Galinfenner. Galinfenner says, "mmm..." Redspice chuckles... Zyphr puts on her Psychologist hat and makes notes... Galinfenner says, "As a host I can't remember any becuase there really were too many of them." "None that made you cringe? and want to dd immediately??", asks Zyphr. "There was one as a player but I have conveniently forgotten the incident.", says Galinfenner. "I remember it involved Freya and coms though.", says Galinfenner. Roslyn thinks that typo was intentional Galinfenner remembers wanting to die Galinfenner says, "Can't remember exactly what I said however." Zyphr waits for the memories to return... Galinfenner shrugs Esperanza grins "Ignorance is bliss", says Galinfenner with a wink. Fancy wonders if that incident had anything to do with The Incident. "seems to be a backup on memory lane", says Racingnut. "Yep. Well, Freya used to hand out whippings", says Galinfenner. Zyphr decides to bite her lip and not say what sprang to mind... ;) Esperanza says, "You've sort of addressed the question already, but Zyphr's second question is what you would like to see different in Fed" "C5crwchief and i would compete for them", says Galinfenner. Zyphr misses Posei... :::sighs:: Galinfenner says, "Well, I think I mentioned what I would like players to do to change." Racingnut misses C5 Tiki nods at Zyph "The game itself...", says Galinfenner. Roslyn sighs. Galinfenner says, "I guess I'd like to see selling a commod to your exchange go back to the way it was." Galinfenner says, "Before Crypto changed it." "here here", says Gwarrior. Esperanza nods Galinfenner says, "The game was wonderful when I was new... and learning." Galinfenner says, "It's much different now, but still wonderful." "I think I might be a lifer", smiles Galinfenner. Tiki says, "a lot of the challenge is missing now" Esperanza smiles Gwarrior hauled several million tons of commods today to help Mouse. Racingnut agrees with tiki "Do you think true newbies coming into the game experience the same rush we old timers did?", asks Esperanza. Galinfenner says, "I ask myself that a lot." Roslyn shakes her head "I don't know. I think it has to be different for them.", says Galinfenner. Zyphr thinks we shouldn't "rush" them so much... Galinfenner grins Racingnut wonders when theyve experienced a bombing of the cantina due to tdx being dropped "Everyone says that, and everyone hands out groats", says Galinfenner with a wink. Haeger agrees with Zyphr "newbies are greeted by dukes now... used to be a long wait to meet a duke", says Tiki. "not everyone", says Zyphr with a wink. Roslyn says, "Cen tried" Galinfenner winks and says, "well, ok Most do" Galinfenner nods Esperanza says, "Of course we have more dukes now than anything else almost" Zyphr says, "There a difference in helping getting a bigger ship and a gig" Galinfenner says, "Everyone has an idea to make it better. I try to enjoy it as it is." Roslyn gave it back to him though. Ditzy has noticed that those that don't hand out groats also have empty duchies Racingnut remembers having to fill out a 2 page form to get into jruffalos duchy Tiki has another question "Duke were pretty rare back in 1995 and 1996", says Esperanza. Galinfenner laughs "Tiki", says Esperanza. Zyphr had to fill out a 5 pager for Freedom ;) "Yes they weer non existent when I started", says Galinfenner. Galinfenner says, "were that is" Tiki asks, "Do you know why staff moved from Fedruckers to CD's, Galin?" Zyphr has another question as well after Tiki's :) "Well, when I was first a host we hung out in CD's.", says Galinfenner. "One day I came in and MagsT was in Fedr's so I moved.", says Galinfenner. Racingnut vaguely remembers mags Galinfenner says, "We have a host room on Arena... we were there for ahwile til Hazed kicked us out" Tiki remembers Mags well Gwarrior doesn't know what Fedrucker's is. "We moved back to Cds...", says Galinfenner. "bar on .. Castillo", says Galinfenner with a wink. Racingnut tickles gw Galinfenner says, "east of the exchange. Hidden movement" Esperanza whispers to Gwarrior "It's the bar on Castillo "teleport 81", says Galinfenner with a wink. Gwarrior smiles, "thanks" "I sat in CDs for awhile again, but the scroll was bad", says Galinfenner. "I stumbled into there once when I was very small, reeled from the power in there, lol", says Tiki. "Why did Hazed kick you out?", asks Roslyn. "So I moved back to Fedruckers", says Galinfenner. Galinfenner says, "She wanted us visible in SOL." Galinfenner says, "SItting in Arena made us too aloof" "Makes sense", says Roslyn. Tiki nods Galinfenner nods Galinfenner smiles, "She's a very smart lady" Esperanza concurs Antonia nods Galinfenner waves to his boss and smiles Roslyn waves too. Esperanza grins Zyphr winks and says, "you ready for my question?" Redspice chuckles... Galinfenner nods "Yes Zyphr...last question", says Esperanza. Galinfenner winks and says, "THought I got your question" "She has another", smiles Esperanza. "And then we better wrap it up", says Esperanza. Galinfenner says, "ok" Esperanza waits for Zyphr's question "As Espy just mentioned, there are more Dukes/esses now than ever... and as being recently accused of this "crime" I'd like your opinion on PO Stealing...", smiles Zyphr. Galinfenner grins Racingnut rolls his eyes "Po Stealing...", says Galinfenner. Galinfenner says, "Well that ties into my 'have a thicker skin' statement" Galinfenner says, "I think it should be part of the game." "can't steal something that doesn't *belong* to anyone", says Tiki with a wink. Galinfenner says, "But unfortunately people take it way seriously" "agreed tiki..pos make the choice", says Racingnut. Zyphr tends to agree with Tiki :) Roslyn looks at Wyld. "some of my favorite characters in fed are Jasana and Xslaught", says Galinfenner. Galinfenner asks, "anyone remember Jasana?" Zyphr does ;) Racingnut says, "i do" Tiki does Jazir does Roslyn groans again. "she ROCKED", says Zyphr with a wink. Felina does Haeger smiles, "lol, I do" Esperanza smiles, "Yup....she took 200 meg out of Milagro right after I first onlined it" Fancy raises a paw. Zyphr winks and says, "Xyli is one of my favorites" "She set up d'd locations. Was famous for killing people", says Galinfenner. Galinfenner nods "She was evil", says Galinfenner. Haeger was a duchymate of Jas Galinfenner says, "In a classy way" Tiki giggles at Galin "but she pissed people off", says Galinfenner. Galinfenner says, "And stealing PO's could be an artform." Zyphr should be a favorite now too then ;) Galinfenner says, "but it pisses people off." Redspice twirls the ribbon and thinks you can steal anything....if you use the right technique.... Fancy remembers once being able to land on Odyssey and walk around there safely before it was made unsafe. Galinfenner asks, "anyone else?" Esperanza says, "I want to thank the lovely Galinfenner for being our guest this evening" Galinfenner grins Roslyn has one. Jazir applauds Galin "Thanks for coming", says Galinfenner. Racingnut stands and applauds Gwarrior looks at Galin "since when is he lovely?", asks Gwarrior. "fascinating night Galin", smiles Tiki. "oh wait..Ros? A quick one?", asks Esperanza. Ditzy applauds Zyphr says, "Thanks Galin" Redspice applauds .... Wyldcat applauds "Will you dance with me Galin?", asks Roslyn. Esperanza grins Roslyn giggles. Galinfenner grins and twirls Roslyn around the room "Hey, Next week!!!", exclaims Galinfenner. "We are goign to have the event hosts and hostesses up here.", says Galinfenner. "Next week is?", asks Esperanza. Roslyn gets dizzy from the twirling and falls to the floor "Wow what a dancer", says Roslyn with a wink. Galinfenner smiles, "Don't miss it" Tiki smiles, "oboy" Esperanza says, "Thank you all for coming" Gwarrior says, "that should be interesting" Galinfenner helps Roslyn up and steps on her dress "Oops", says Galinfenner. "Please fly safely on your way home", says Esperanza. "thanks for hosting, Espy", smiles Tiki. Galinfenner grins and waves Redspice chuckles... "Thanks everyone", says Galinfenner. |
