Secretary activates her recorders with a *whirr* *click*

Hazed checks her make-up

>ex hazed
Dressed to impress, Hazed is wearing a smart business suit with padded shoulders so huge they hit you in the eye! This really is power dressing.

Gwarrior hits the button for the vic....er...guests chair to rise out of the stage.

Hazed asks, "I sit there?"

Gwarrior nods.

Hazed looks at the chair dubiously

Gwarrior drawls, "ok ok..."

Hazed asks, "It's not going to suddenly sink down again with me in it?"

Gwarrior snaps his fingers and has a nice, squishy chair brought out of the wings and placed on the stage.

Hazed says, "Oh, that's better."

Hazed grins

Hazed sits in the squishy cushions. "Much more comfy."

Gwarrior grins as he takes his stool and picks up the mic.

Gwarrior exclaims, "Welcome everyone to Fed2's first edition of Meet and Greet!"

Gwarrior exclaims, "Tonight, I have the honor and the privilege to interview Fed's one and only Demi-Goddess, Hazed!"

Hazed struggles up from the squishy cushions to take a bow.

Fancy claps wildly.

Catsmeowcc claps and cheers

Gwarrior says, "Hazed, I really appreciate you staying up late to be with us tonight"

Art applauds her boss!

Hazed says, "Thanks Gw, it's good to be here"

Racingnut claps

Hazed says, "I'll try not to fall asleep."

Hazed sips some extra-strength triple-caffeine cola

Gandolf slips a few blue and black pills to Hazed

Gandolf says, "prop your eyes open with these"

Hazed says, "Thanks Gandolf"

Gwarrior asks, "Hazed, if you would be so kind, could you please give us a quick synopsis of the history of Fed, how you became involved, etc.?"

Hazed says, "Ok"

Hazed says, "Well, I was the very first person to play Fed, ever"

Hazed says, "When Alan first wrote the game, before it went live on Compunet he took it to a computer game fair to demo it"

Fancy winks, "She's been with Fed literally from the start. ;)"

Hazed says, "Yes, I am the oldest of the old-timers"

Hazed says, "I was on Compunet at the time, and we'd all heard that Alan was writing this science fiction game, so I was pleased to be able to try it out"

Art knows better than to offer a cane...

Vlad winks, "no wonder we need to deliver so many commodore 64's;)"

Hazed says, "That was the first time I met Alan too"

Gwarrior asks, "you met him in MUD, correct?"

Hazed says, "Then when the game opened up on Compunet, I was a fanatical player - one of the top players (not THE top player)"

Hazed says, "That's right - he was a wizard called Bella"

Racingnut says, "a fantical goddess..go figure hehe"

Hazed says, "He'd written some help stuff for MUD"

Hazed says, "But I never really played MUD much, it wasn't to my taste - much too difficult to get started; as soon as you got going, someone would come along and hit you over the head with a broadsword"

Hazed says, "And you'd be killed. No insurance in MUD."

Gwarrior exclaims, "ouch!"

Art winces

Gandolf says, "Hmmm. I always used a club"

Hazed says, "Anyway, throughout Fed's time on Compunet I became a leading light in the game, and collaborated on writing the Idiot's Guide"

Vlad winks, "yep, find your body in a certain amount of time to recover your stuff or start again from scratch;)"

Hazed drawls, "Then when Fed hopped over the Atlantic to the GEnie system in the States, I switched sides too..."

Hazed says, "I became staff"

Gandolf claps

Hazed says, "At first I was just a volunteer, helping out in exchange for a free GEnie account - that was when I started writing a weekly newsletter"

Hazed says, "Then later, I put some money into the company and became a full partner"

Gwarrior says, "well that is always nice"

Hazed says, "And the rest, as they say, is history! I have been interviewed several times before so you can get all the gory details of that period from these places:"

Hazed says, "http://www.ibgames.net/federation/events/duchyreview/1998/hazed.html"

Hazed says, "http://www.ibgames.net/federation/events/duchyreview/2002/hazed.html"

Hazed says, "and http://www.ibgames.net/fednews/040404/scoop01.html"

Hazed grins

Hazed came prepared

Lirimaer says, "Now that's what you call prepared"

Gwarrior chuckles.

Gandolf says, "I understand you were hard to talk to in the early years"

Fancy is smiling broadly.

Hazed says, "Never! I was always extremely friendly and approachable."

Gwarrior asks, "what is it that you do now for Fed2?"

Hazed says, "In some ways, my job is the un-glamorous stuff"

Hazed says, "I do all the admin, which includes billing admin - the most boring job in the world"

Hazed says, "Answering emails"

Hazed says, "And of course writing stuff for the weekly news, and publishing it"

Gwarrior drawls, "keeping the staff in line...."

Hazed says, "But with the advent of Fed II I was finally able to do some more interesting stuff as well"

Hazed says, "Oh yes, keeping staff in line"

Hazed cracks her whip.

Catsmeowcc jumps!

Catsmeowcc exclaims, "I didnt do it!"

Art starts writing as fast as she can.

Felina exclaims, "Ouch!"

Hazed says, "When Bella and I made the decision to do a new version of Fed, we had a lot of discussion about whether the layout of the planets should stay the same or change"

Gandolf starts drooling

Hazed says, "When it first opened in Christmas day, the planets were more or less the same"

Gwarrior asks, "including respelling Castillo the right way or not?"

Hazed says, "But as soon as Bella put jobs in, out came the old macro programs - so we decided to shake things up a bit and change the maps"

Hazed says, "Oh, we always knew we'd keep the mis-spelling of Castillo - it's tradition"

Gwarrior says, "ah"

Hazed says, "So I took on the job of revamping the maps"

Racingnut remembers when that was the talk of the time back in aolfed

Gwarrior says, "yeah.. I remember when you redid the maps.. you took out one of my favorite locations"

Hazed asks, "Which one was that?"

Gwarrior says, "the Sauna on Selena"

Hazed laughs

Fancy says, "I think it might be still there, actually."

Fancy says, "Just a different place."

Hazed says, "It is still there"

Gandolf says, "I think I mapped it recently"

Gwarrior drawls, "ah... I need to go in search of it then..."

Hazed says, "As well as changing the maps, I rewrote most of the descriptions"

Gandolf drawls, "at least, it was something steamy ..."

Hazed says, "Bella's original descriptions were quite short because she only allowed a little bit of space back when she first wrote Fed. "

Fancy grins and chuckles.

Hazed says, "I am very verbose when I write so I expanded them a lot"

Kes says, "omg Castillo is misspelled, i always thought I was just a dork for thinking it was callisto"

Art nods.

Gwarrior laughs at Kes.

Racingnut chuckles

Hazed says, "Then, when we decided we wanted some new planets, I wrote two of the current new ones - Brass and Phobos (which isn't finished yet)"

Fancy remembers Selena's comment about Castillo in the classic Fed tour.

Hazed says, "Even back on classic Fed, I always really loved writing planets, it's the bit about the game that fascinated me the most"

Hazed says, "I never had much interest in planetary economics, it was the creative side I liked"

Gwarrior nods.

Gwarrior says, "its allows you to let your imagination run wild"

Gandolf says, "Who did the jail cell? I loved that."

Hazed says, "And the latest piece of work I did was all the stuff for the party - I wrote the parade and the fireworks and all that"

Gwarrior says, "you can have nearly anything you want"

Gwarrior says, "and what a wonderful job you did, too"

Chamberlain smiles, "The parade was awsome :)"

Hazed says, "And the really neat thing is, as well as writing the text, I wrote the events to make them happen - the new event system is so cool"

Art loved the fireworks

Gandolf missed the parade, busy chasing airplanes

Lirimaer nods, "The parade was fantastic..missed the fireworks tho"

Kes says, "It was great Hazed"

Hazed says, "So when we have player planets, and you are able to modify them, you would be able to do things like the parade on your planet"

Fancy looks forward to that.

Gandolf says, "Sweet."

Hazed says, "I had fun writing that"

Hazed says, "Anyone who enjoys writing planets will love the new event system"

Gwarrior asks, "so the possiblities will be almost endless?"

Hazed says, "You can do so much with it"

Art nods.

Gandolf asks, "and we can continually change the events?"

Hazed says, "Well, not completely endless... there will be restrictions on what you can do"

Gwarrior says, "hence the almost.."

Hazed says, "The event system that Bella and I use lets us do things like promote players, give them loads of money and so on"

Hazed says, "We won't let players do that on their planets"

Fancy grins.

Gwarrior says, "well of course.."

Kes says, "awwa shucks"

Hazed grins

Gwarrior says, "just a note... don't know if it is a record or not... but we are up to 27 players"

Hazed says, "But that's more or less what I do. Basically, I do everything that isn't programming or game design."

Hazed says, "I think we went up to 35 during the party"

Kes says, "We had in the 30s at the launch"

Gwarrior says, "well shucks.."

Gwarrior asks, "what are some examples of what we may be able to do?"

Hazed says, "So I guess I am not so popular as Diesel. Sigh"

Racingnut says, "its better than it was.. there'd usually be 5-15 this time of night"

Paladin says, "you never accepted LVs"

Hazed says, "True"

Gwarrior laughs.

Hazed says, "Ok, the classic Fed events, you can basically change a stat, check a stat, or check if someone is carrying an object"

Gwarrior says, "that is pretty much it"

Art nods

Hazed says, "And you can move a player to another location, and send them a message"

Hazed says, "Well with the Fed II event system - which right now is only half finished, or maybe even less"

Hazed says, "You can do things like send a message to a specific location"

Hazed says, "So everyone in the room sees it"

Hazed says, "That's how the parade was done"

Hazed says, "And the announcements in the Earth spaceport, and on the Venus shuttle"

Hazed says, "The other big difference is that the events can be linked together, so one event can make another event happen"

Lirimaer says, "oh great..more reason for me to double check what I typed so I don't broadcast things that shouldn't be"

Gandolf smiles

Gwarrior asks, "is there a possiblity that we will be able to put annoucements in our bars?"

Hazed says, "So if you want to check if someone is carrying an object, you can have two different events called depending on the outcome"

Lirimaer squiggles

Hazed says, "Yes Gw"

Hazed says, "Plus you can have delays in the events - again this was used in the parade - so things happen after a pause"

Kes whispers, "At least you didn't drop a tb during the launch party"

Hazed asks, "Who did drop a TB?"

Fancy says, "I think we also see examples on Sumatra."

Hazed wants to know!

Kes raises her hand.

Paladin points at Kes

Hazed says, "The Venus shuttle is all done with events. And the teleport disks on The Lattice."

Lirimaer points to Kes as well

Hazed asks, "What was it, Kes?"

Hazed exclaims, "Come on, tell!"

Kes says, "I typed act grabs something firm in your pants"

Hazed laughs

Gwarrior laughs.

Art chuckles

Gwarrior says, "I'm sorry I missed that now"

Hazed asks, "Whose pants were you attempting to grab?"

Fancy tries to suppress a laugh and is only partly successful.

Catsmeowcc snickers

Art wants names!

Paladin says, "evidently, everyone in the room"

Lirimaer says, "And I was trying to figure out what was so firm in my pants that she felt the need to grab it"

Kes says, "I didn't use a name"

Racingnut says, "multi dextrous arent u art"

Gwarrior laughs!!

Hazed says, "Maybe you'd shoved a party popper down your pants"

Kes drawls, "fortunately..."

Hazed asks, "Who did you intend it for, though?"

Lirimaer says, "I was thinking same thing Hazed"_"

Racingnut tries to stifle a laugh

Vlad drawls, "yeah, and everyone said is that a party popper in your pants or...."

Hazed giggles

Lirimaer says, "Someone got mad she tried to grab their cell phone"

Art chuckles.

Kes laughs, "Now that's a State Secret" with a twinkle in her eye.

Hazed exclaims, "Well, if you are ever a guest on Meet & Greet, we know what your most embarrassing moment will be!"

Gwarrior asks, "ok, what are some things that we might see go into Fed2 in the near future?"

Fancy bursts out laughing.

Vlad asks, "but how many numbers could you actually dial then?"

Hazed says, "Well as you can imagine, Bella has a To Do list that stretches from here to Mars."

Racingnut says, "that short? ::ducks::"

Hazed says, "I think the first thing she will concentrate on is the stuff for Merchants"

Gwarrior nods.

Vlad winks, "which is now full of holes from the customs ship flying though it back and forth stopping siteseers;)"

Hazed says, "Which is going to be something completely different - options and futures - don't ask me the details cos I don't know"

Hazed grins

Elijah winks, "Can we have the details? ;)"

Hazed says, "She also needs to do some more work on the event system, so we can do more stuff with events"

Gwarrior says, "he hinted about a few things in his interview with Blaze, which can be seen in this week's Fed2 Star"

Art says, "Inquiring minds and all that"

Hazed says, "She'll be coding in the things needed so I can create things like dice, which will be used for events, and a wheel for Fed Phrase Game"

Elijah exclaims, "That's awesome!"

Hazed says, "Beyond what Bella said in the interview in the Star today, i really don't know"

Kes gets an image of people playing Dungeons and Dragons in Fed.

Catsmeowcc quickly starts scanning her paper

Hazed says, "The other thing she's going to work on is a graphic front-end for Fed II"

Paladin asks, "I heard talk of us being able to create objects, like the party poppers?"

Gwarrior asks, "graphic front-end?"

Hazed says, "One that will display different types of text in different windows, and have little pictures for commodities, and the AK job items"

Gwarrior says, "oh ok"

Kes says, "Wow, that's great"

Gwarrior says, "well, that would be neat to have"

Racingnut eyes widen appreciably

Hazed says, "It won't be a compulsory front-end - you will still be able to play Fed with whatever FE you want"

Gwarrior says, "would help reduce scroll"

Hazed says, "Yes Pal, the event system lets you create objects and destroy them again when a player does a certain thing"

Hazed says, "The party poppers appeared when either Freya or I typed a command in"

Hazed says, "All done with events"

Gwarrior goes through his lists of questions and throws out the ones that don't apply.

Hazed says, "That's about all I can say about what's going in in the future"

Gwarrior asks, "is there anything in particular that you would like to see go in?"

Hazed says, "The way Bella works is, she often doesn't make up her mind about things until she comes to actually code something"

Fancy smiles, "It ought to be interesting. :)"

Hazed says, "Well, I am looking forward to being able to do more things with events."

Art knows one event she wants to be able to do, eventually...

Hazed says, "Obviously I would like to see everything go in immediately"

Hazed grins

Gwarrior says, "we all would like that"

Hazed says, "Actually, it's just such fun being involved in a game which is moving again"

Fancy nods in agreement.

Hazed says, "It was quite depressing, managing classic Fed when I knew that the code couldn't be changed at all"

Gwarrior asks, "with lots of old faces coming back and new ones popping in every day?"

Hazed says, "Bugs couldn't be fixed, tweaks to fix social problems couldn't be put in"

Fancy says, "And then the crash around Thanksgiving."

Hazed says, "Everyone seems very enthusiastic about Fed II - and yes it's great to see lots of old faces"

Hazed says, "Well, that crash was scary"

Gwarrior says, "yeah... that was kind of disparaging to everybody.."

Marina asks, "Speaking of new faces, are we getting any legitimate newbie traffic?"

Art still has nightmares...

Hazed says, "For about a week, we didn't know if we would actually be able to get Fed running again"

Gwarrior says, "we didn't ahve any chat rooms to go to.. lol"

Lirimaer says, "Ahhh AOLFed days hehe"

Racingnut shouts for old times sake FED'S UP!!!

Hazed exclaims, "Oh god, I remember those chatrooms!"

Kes says, "Yeah like in AOL when it would crash we could at least all still complain together"

Catsmeowcc exclaims, "no chatrooms to go and gripe!"

Lirimaer nods at Kes

Hazed says, "Mind you, you may not have noticed, but Fed II has been remarkably stable"

Paladin grumbles, 'AOLFed...blech'

Hazed says, "There's been very few bugs, only a couple of crashes"

Gwarrior says, "it would take all of 5 minutes for 100 chat rooms to pop up.."

Kes says, "No kidding"

Kes says, "You would try to enter one and it would be full"

Racingnut says, "i remember those chatrooms well"

Lirimaer says, "That would be fun again to be able to go into the chatrooms during a crash"

Hazed says, "Fed on AOL was a huge culture shock for me"

Kes says, "It's even more fun that there aren't crashes every other hour in this game"

Catsmeowcc nods to lir

Art says, "I would rather not have the crashes"

Gwarrior says, "I'm sure it was very different for your previous experiences"

Fancy says, "It was certainly very popular."

Racingnut says, "same"

Hazed says, "Previously, Fed had been on systems that were used by... well, not computer experts, but computer hobbyists"

Lirimaer thought it was really funny to try to get into the same room as your friend and it was full, everyone running around to get into same rooms

Hazed says, "Comms, as it was called before the Internet, was difficult"

Paladin says, "I am sure many people think fondly of AOLFed, but frankly, it was the death of a lot of the way of life in Fed... closed down the puzzles... damn snerts"

Gwarrior asks, "before Sir whatever his name was got on it?"

Hazed says, "Then AOL came along and produced software that made it possible for ordinary people, without any technical knowledge, to get online"

Hazed says, "So pre-AOL anybody playing Fed had had to jump through a number of technical hoops just to get online - and it was also extremely expensive so they had to be pretty well off"

Hazed says, "There were hardly any kids"

Gwarrior says, "aol just made it cheap and easy"

Hazed says, "Then, we moved to AOL, and were stunned by the numbers of players"

Hazed says, "But also my the complete change in culture"

Lirimaer asks, "Cheap?"

Marina winks, "$600 AOL bills sure didn't seem cheap ;)"

Gwarrior asks, "from mature adults to nutty kids?"

Hazed says, "I'd never seen so many trouble-makers"

Hazed grins

Lirimaer winks, "Try $1300 bills ;)"

Hazed asks, "AOL was... what... $2.95 an hour or something?"

Fancy says, "Until December of 1996."

Hazed says, "Well back in the Compunet days, it worked out at about six pounds an hour"

Gwarrior says, "I don't know, I didn't join until after it went flat rate"

Hazed says, "There were no flat-rate phone lines then"

Hazed says, "Not in the UK"

Paladin says, "add the Fed charges, and the access charges"

Hazed nods

Racingnut says, "paladin it was also a time where u worked quite a bit..people were a lot less willing to just give money to ya"

Lirimaer says, "I scrambled harder to pay off the $1300 bill to play Fed then for my $65 water bill so I can shower"

Hazed says, "Then with the AOL flat-rate, the culture changed again"

Racingnut says, "yeah 2.95 an hour plus any phone charges"

Kes says, "I would have had to quit playing if they hadn't gone flat rate"

Kes says, "And had to quit anyway when Fed became indepedent and paid"

Hazed says, "With flat-rate, even more "ordinary" people came into Fed, and a lot of them didn't want to make much of an effort, wanted to be given the answers"

Gwarrior drawls, "I can't really say anything about the kids back in aol days seeing as I was one of them..."

Hazed bites her tongue.

Gwarrior says, "didn't want to work for it"

Hazed grins

Hazed says, "The game on classic Fed became much too easy"

Racingnut nods

Hazed says, "But in Fed II we want to get back to the idea that it should be a challenge"

Hazed says, "I dare say that we would get loads and loads of players if we could figure out a game where all you had to do was press a button over and over and you would advance"

Hazed says, "But it would be boring for Alan to code, boring for me to manage"

Gwarrior nods.

Wolfyn winks, "But the challenge is going to wain by the time I have to visit the Doris Reception Area 75 times. ;)"

Hazed says, "Both of us like games that are a challenge"

Hazed says, "yes Wolfyn, but you have the knowledge that you only have to do AK jobs at one rank"

Kes says, "Fed is like RL a lot though, and like in RL you have to advance up the ranks"

Wolfyn exclaims, "Not the way I void them!"

Hazed says, "That is one way Fed differs a lot from other MUDs"

Wolfyn chuckles.

Hazed says, "In most MUDs what you do remains more or less the same throughout the game - you just get a bigger sword and hit bigger orcs with it"

Gwarrior asks, "instead of the game changing?"

Hazed nods

Hazed says, "I love the fact that when you promote in Fed you have to learn new skills"

Gwarrior nods.

Hazed says, "It stops the game getting routine, boring"

Gwarrior says, "doing the same thing over and over again.."

Hazed says, "I went to las Vegas once and I was amazed by the rows and rows and rows of people pushing coins into the slot machines. They didn't look as if they were enjoying themselves, it was more like they were under some compulsion"

Lirimaer says, "I knew I should've worn a disguise"

Hazed says, "I would hate for Fed to be like that... repetitive"

Kes laughs

Gwarrior says, "ok, I know we are probably past this, but if anyone has a question for Hazed, please raise your hand and I'll point you out"

Gwarrior asks, "Rn?"

Racingnut says, "hazed has the # of planet locs been determined yet? ive heard they'll be more than in classic fed but nothing definitive"

Hazed drawls, "Um well..."

Hazed says, "There are two different limits"

Hazed says, "The map itself is constructed using an editor that looks a bit like the old Genesis program"

Vlad used to spend his entire nights 7 days a week in fed....talk about compulsion;)

Hazed says, "I think it is a 64 x 64 grid"

Art nods

Hazed says, "Theoretically, you could put one location in every square"

Hazed exclaims, "But that would be a terrible idea!"

Kes s eyes widen

Gwarrior says, "wow... that would be a lot of locations"

Hazed asks, "Apart from being impossible for players to find each other, can you imagine writing that many descriptions?"

Art shudders

Vlad could do it;)

Hazed says, "Anyway, we will put limits on the total number of locations you can have"

Fancy feels faint at the thought.

Kes says, "yes...I mean...uh hehe"

Hazed says, "And one of the privileges of promoting to higher PO ranks will be that limit will be raised"

Racingnut wants to greatly expand his planet into a racing season..something that u cant do in 120 locations

Lirimaer hands Fancy some smelling salts

Hazed says, "But right now, I have absolutely no idea what the limits will be"

Hazed says, "As I said before, Bella doesn't make decisions like that until she comes to code something"

Gwarrior asks, "what about rotating locs as a part of the event system?"

Hazed says, "Not sure I understand you, Gw"

Gwarrior says, "so Rn coud, say, have a differentt rack every week"

Vlad would hate to have to wait for her to get hungry to decide on what restaurant to visit;)

Gwarrior says, "different track, that is"

Lirimaer giggles

Gwarrior says, "and not have to reload it every week"

Hazed says, "Well... not really"

Fancy says, "He might be able to create a lot of parallel tracks that look the same, but are slightly different."

Hazed says, "The Venus shuttle kind of works like that - the exits from the location which is the shuttle change every few minutes to lead to a different station"

Gwarrior nods at Fancy.

Racingnut says, "i was thinking something more like separate tracks on different "moons" connected by a transport tube type thing "

Hazed says, "But everything gets set back to the starting position at reset"

Gwarrior says, "Marina.. you had a question"

Hazed says, "You could do that, Rn, probably"

Marina asks, "Are we getting any legitimate newbie traffic since we started marketing the game again?"

Hazed says, "I personally have seen some genuine brand new players"

Fancy smiles excitedly.

Hazed says, "But it's one of those things that it's hard to know about - unless someone tells us, we have no idea if the new personas getting set up are old-timers returning, existing classic Fed players, or brand new newbods"

Hazed says, "Once the navs are in place doing their stuff, they will I hope be able to get an idea of that"

Gwarrior asks, "that will have to wait until Bella gets their stuff coded, correct?"

Hazed says, "That's more or less done"

Gwarrior says, "ah"

Vlad smiles

Hazed says, "It's more waiting for the navs to become familiar with this game"

Gwarrior says, "ohhhh"

Gwarrior says, "that makes sense"

Hazed says, "They can't help players if they don't know how it works, so they have to work their way up the ranks"

Gwarrior asks, "anyone else have a question?"

Hazed says, "Vlad here is the first of the classic Fed navs to do so"

Vlad smiles

Hazed says, "So he'll get into the Hall of Fame (and Shame)"

Vlad chuckles

Gwarrior says, "oh, if you would, tell us a bit more about that"

Hazed says, "Well there's not much I can tell - it's an idea I came up with about a week ago."

Gwarrior says, "ah"

Hazed asks, "In the past, people have occasionally asked me "who was the first person to promote to rankX on AOL" or "I've just done something significant, has anyone ever done it before"?"

Hazed says, "And I always had to say, sorry, I have no idea"

Gwarrior says, "so now you are going to keep track of it"

Hazed says, "Unless something got mentioned in the Chronicle, that kind of info wasn't kept"

Hazed says, "Yes"

Hazed says, "People like to see their achievements mentioned"

Catsmeowcc wonders if MB's wedding will be one of the first entries :)

Hazed says, "No, I am starting it from launch day"

Catsmeowcc says, "ah just curious"

Fancy winks, "Nobody else is ever going to get married on the solar surface. ;)"

Gwarrior says, "I think she is talking about Mb's wedding on the sun"

Skydancer smiles, "should stick to game stuff :)"

Hazed exclaims, "So if any of you do anything you think is a first, email me!"

Catsmeowcc nods

Hazed says, "I will pick out the significant promotions from the spynet review"

Fancy says, "I got a 3000 IG payoff with an Akaturi job. "

Skydancer says, "LOL"

Vlad buys Fancy a drink to celebrate

Lirimaer winks, "that just sounds like bragging tho;)"

Catsmeowcc agrees with fancy

Catsmeowcc exclaims, "not since death came to fed!"

Paladin asks, "you have the proof?"

Hazed says, "I will need proof in the form of a capture for those things"

Hazed says, "And I am eagerly awaiting the first accidental DD"

Paladin exclaims, "oh, and captures are never doctored!"

Fancy says, "I remembered it as my 444th completed Akaturi job. I didn't make a capture, though."

Hazed says, "Of course not! Fedders are honest and trustworthy."

Lirimaer says, "Oh well..just give me a minute on that one, Hazed"

Kes says, "Actually Hazed I did that already"

Hazed asks, "You did?"

Kes says, "During Fedpardy I flew into the sun on accident"

Vlad asks, "twice?"

Hazed asks, "Did you die dead-dead?"

Vlad asks, "without reinsuring?"

Kes says, "Oh...wait sorry no i just died once...heh heh heh"

Hazed laughs

Hazed exclaims, "That's not significant enough!"

Fancy winks, "Saved, from the Hall of Shame. ;)"

Gwarrior asks, "ok, well, does anyone else have a question?"

Lirimaer says, "Try it again, Kes"

Fancy says, "Someone might type ahead while moving in space, have customs pull them over, and then fly into the sun afterwards as a result, though. "

Skydancer asks, "but I was late, so may have already been asked...How long do you anticipate it being before the first player planet is made?"

Hazed says, "I have no idea"

Gwarrior says, "awhile, I'm sure"

Hazed says, "Seriously, I just cannot estimate"

Vlad says, "I think someone took a guess at 2075"

Racingnut chuckles

Hazed slaps vlad

Fancy says, "I would have to figure months, at least."

Art bets 6 months

Vlad rubs his face as he was just repeating what was said on the comms earlier

Hazed says, "Bella wants to give you something different to do at each rank up to PO"

Hazed says, "So Merchant, JP and GM will all need separate coding"

Skydancer says, "6 months is not bad...as long as the ability is there before players are clamoring on Margrathea"

Hazed says, "Although it's great to play a game that is still being developed, it does mean you sometimes have to wait for the next rank to be coded"

Lirimaer has to run, "Great M&G Hazed..GW:)"

Gwarrior says, "ok, well, I'd like to thank everyone for coming out tonight"

Marina claps for Hazed!

Gwarrior says, "and Hazed, thank you very much for being my guest tonight"

Fancy applauds loudly.

Racingnut winks, "itll definetly take longer than 18 hours ;)"

Kes claps

Catsmeowcc claps and cheers for her boss

Vlad applauds for the demi-goddess and his favorite boss

Hazed exclaims, "I think I will pass, Paly - I have had enuff late nights!"

Hazed says, "I shall now go and crash."

Hazed has given you a divine kiss.

Sissy applauds and cheers

Racingnut says, "nite hazed"

Vlad says, "sleep well"

The one, the only, the demi-goddess Hazed has left.
