You: Lead Counselor, Lt Dolamite Giffen
You: oh
You: wait
You: ok
Dolamite Giffen:
You: just saw the IM
Dolamite Giffen: yea, was hoping to write a little more but its ok
Dolamite Giffen: Hello all!
Si Arcadia + sourit jusqu'aux oreilles + * smiles up to ears *
Dolamite Giffen: It is with great pleasure that i am now off of LOA, stil having some Rl issues, but managing to get them behnd me not in front of me, so i am returning to full active duty.
Dolamite Giffen: let me take a little time to tell you about counseling...in case some of you have forgotten.
Gandalf Nakamura: .-'`'-. APPLAUSE APPLAUSE .-'`'-.
JD Matova: clapping
Warren Holt claps
Dolamite Giffen: Counseling division has been in history many things, some good, some bad, and some indifferent.
Bau Ur claps
Dolamite Giffen: But now i am seriously looking towards an interesting vision for this dept, and hope we will be met with support and recognition. I will outline our goals now...
Dolamite Giffen: and btw those different things we have been in the past is neither good nor bad it just simply exists.
Dolamite Giffen: Our first goal as counselors within the atmosphere of Second Life and Starfleet Command SLQ is...
Dolamite Giffen: We aim to be mediators, nonbiased people who look at both sides of a scenario and can offer a different view then the one you originally had thought of, based upon both sides, this is in order to save animosity toward your fellow officers/friends.
Bau Ur deeply approves
Dolamite Giffen: As you all know confusion in this group is at an all time high
Dolamite Giffen: This is due to a large part of a whole new process affecting a WIDE variety of people both new and old members
Bau Ur: ?me is so confused that he doesn't even know what confusion is bing referred-to
Gandalf Nakamura nods
Solomon Flax: ...
Dolamite Giffen: If you have problems and cant seem to get them resolved, please seek out a counselor they are named in the counseling office.
Dolamite Giffen: We do NOT solve the problems! We merely facilitate an open ear, and ask the right questions
Dolamite Giffen: So in that respect id like to see us be respected if we ask a question, we dont care about personal gain or egos or anything all we care about is the facts. If a counselor comes to you and asks you about a particular incident, or discussion...they arent doing it to be malicious and i would hope that you would respect that.
Dolamite Giffen: Second..
Dolamite Giffen: We Aim to do the Counseling "evalutions" Partaining to the new recruits
Dolamite Giffen: We will not diagnose people but we do take pride in the interview process...
Dolamite Giffen: we take extreme pride in being the people that the new recruits see first.
Dolamite Giffen: within this boundary, we are only offering this position to our student counselors. After being in the group for a little while they will be come assigned to a full fledged counselor and begin to take on mediation cases.
Dolamite Giffen: And student counselors are our enlisted ranks for now.
Dolamite Giffen: So this process from brgninng to finish all the way from personnel through academy gets this group to actually KNOW who everyne is.! and isnt that what a group is for!
Dolamite Giffen: We are here to build relationships, and to have fun please lets not forget that.
Dolamite Giffen: Third...We aim to not just sit in a back corner and be forgotten, we aim to be in the forfront of the group as a fully active participating group.
Gandalf Nakamura nods
Si Arcadia: ( By the way, counselling was offered for the FAdm and I )
Dolamite Giffen: SO in closing thank you all for sticking through some rough times in the group, and it is really appreciated. we are working hard to solve the problems you see, and believe me the Senior staff knows alot about them, but that doesnt mean you cant ask them questions and if the senior staff doesnt know the answers..then they can ask other senior staff Ok thats all....
Dolamite Giffen: Any questions.
Solomon Flax raises his hand.

Andromeda Quonset: There has also been some rework on the 4-corners teleport building.
Andromeda Quonset: This system has a lot of features, and is made by a reliable vendor. In fact, that vendor just issued an update yesterday, which corrects some problems and makes the system run a little faster.

Andromeda Quonset: I don't have that information.
Andromeda Quonset: Si?
Si Arcadia: When and how went the last meeting of science?
Andromeda Quonset: Vanessa would have that information, or Picard.
Si Arcadia: Thank-you
Andromeda Quonset: DarthBunny?
DarthBunny Petrov: The 'ufo' that chases you around after using that new transporter system, is that a feature that can be disabled? as it can be a little annoying
Gizmo Theas nods in agreement
Andromeda Quonset: It can be disabled, it has to be done at every pad.
Pax Forwzy also nods in agreement.
Andromeda Quonset: I did have it disabled on several pads.
Andromeda Quonset: It seems that they got re-enabled when I installed the update yesterday.
Rowan Jacobus: they are fun,
Andromeda Quonset: So I do plan to disable it on many of the pads.
Andromeda Quonset: Supposedly, other effects are possible.
LauraAnne Sheridan: like star trek effects?
Andromeda Quonset: I have considered a Borg cube chasing one around, for isntance. or a tiny starship.
Andromeda Quonset: Yes, maybe str trek effects.
Pax Forwzy raises hand.
You: rolls eyes
Andromeda Quonset: Pax?
Bau Ur ponders human concepts of what constitutes fun, a borg cube being nearly incomprehensible
LauraAnne Sheridan: trek effect would seem....logical
Pax Forwzy: is there anyway we can do to turn these effects off at our end? I don't know if I want anything chasing aftter me after I teleport.
Gizmo Theas nods in agreement
Andromeda Quonset: Right now, i will have to turn them off.
Gizmo Theas: *Raises Hand*
Andromeda Quonset: Yes Gizmo?
Bau Ur reflects on the hazards involved and the liklihood that at some point a Klingon will see one of those things and start shooting
Rafe Wilber: hehe
Gizmo Theas: Have the various TP solutions been reviewed by the anti-lag team?
Areyn Laurasia looks forward to capturing one of the 'ufo's for studies...
Si Arcadia + rit aux éclats + * laughs heartily *
Andromeda Quonset: I think that the TP scripts have been checked in conjunction with all the other scriipts during the course of their daily routine.

Gandalf Nakamura: sir
Free Radar HUD v1.1 by Crystal Gadgets
RoBobby McMillan: I believe DarkAlpha will take TK's role as lead... or at least, that seems logical to me. I'm sure it first has to be officially approved. As for Asst. Lead of Activities... I'm not certain.
RoBobby McMillan: You'd have to ask Talon for that.
RoBobby McMillan: Admiral, thank you for your patience.
You: ok, next report
Bau Ur applauds

Ethan Muldoon: Good afternoon Admrials, members of the Fleet, and guests.
Ethan Muldoon: As some of you may know, we have had the resignation of two members of our staff, Lt. JG Morgue McMillan and Lt. JG Carrington Stepford.
Ethan Muldoon: Both are fine officers, and both site RL and SL obligations taht led them to their decision.
Ethan Muldoon: Lt. JG Morgue McMillan will still be carrying on her duties with other divisions of SLQ, so her talents will still be put to use in the Academy and Counseling.
Ethan Muldoon: Despite the absence of these fine officers, our staff will still endeavor to meet the expectations of the Fleet.
Ethan Muldoon: With that said, I am honored to announce that we have added additional members to our staff. These are:

Jyrras Wilder: is he even awake?
Dolamite Giffen: nah
Warren Holt: yep
Warren Holt: Just was lagging out, sorry about that
Jyrras Wilder: dern he was awake
Warren Holt: Good Evening everyone, thanks for staying awake till my turn wanted to say, first, welcome back from LOA Lt Dolamite Giffen, too many other things happening this GM to mention so I'll move onto my report.
Warren Holt: Last week I gave information on communications next project. which is a promotional video for our group. and schedualed a public open meeting this thursday at 12pm SLT (noon)
Warren Holt: hmm, i should of spell checked.
Warren Holt: The meeting went well, had many in attendance who gave many great idea's for this project, and it was decided to hold these meetings every week thursday at 12pm SLT (noon)
Warren Holt: Also it was decided to ask at this General meeting, as well as afterward (will be making a post on forums) about asking for submissions of idea's for scenes for the video. the group promotional video we will be producing soon.
Warren Holt: In the main video it was decided to do an intro scene, like a trek series, with a short roleplay scene aboard a galaxy bridge, and space scene with possibly a battle scene with klingons, then a fade out/in to other scenes, with many other scenes .
Warren Holt: like a movie preview with short 6-10 second scenes of our group, divisions in action, medical, counselors, tacticals, research, personnel, so what we're going to be asking for idea's from people (anyone) and division leads on these.
Warren Holt: (ops forgot i had coffee in my hand )
Warren Holt: We're asking for idea's for these short scenes, but detailed scene infomration of camera angles and movements, and the setting of it, where it will take place, and whats happening in the scene, and any possible text to fade in and out at the end of the scene, these would be each focused on divisions, like aircorps etc.
Warren Holt: So please make up notecards and submit these idea's for scenes, by this wedsday the 1st of august, and we will be holding another meeting on the 2nd of august, thursday 12pm SLT (noon) to go over the submissions and make a storyboard with the groups ideas for video, then begin production soon after, we want everyone involved in this.
Warren Holt: With the new plaza area for the galaxy region completed, we need to start promoting our group more, and hopefully start some themed weekends and events and more video's for group promotion purposes.
Warren Holt: Ok , moving to old news, we are looking for people to join communications with photo,video production/editing experience, and also with journalistic or editing skills, we have a few projects that are in need of project leads.
Warren Holt: We're still looking for news submissions for our group newsletter. please forward any you have to me, also on another note the forums has a new area, called newscast (thanks to Dirk Klees) , for members to keep other members informed of news, even stuff mentioned at GM's, so please use it to keep our members who do not attend the general meetings or read the logs informed of happenings.
Warren Holt: Other than this, their is nothing new to report, we're making progress on a communications 101 course, and the advanced courses will teach graphics editing technique's to make posters and such, and texture making. using (gimp (freeware) & photoshop) , we will keep you informed of progress.
Warren Holt: I mentioned last week will do so again, Lt Cmdr, Dwain knight is away for a few weeks on LOA, he is still lead of our division, but i am in charge in his absence till his return , so Please contact me for anything regarding Comm's , or joining our division, or any of the projects i mentioned.

Bau Ur ponders the phrase "siling up to one's ears. If a Vulcan were to smile up to his ears, it would be not only a degenerate act of emotion, but also anatomically harmful.
You: yes, Jyrras?
Rafe Wilber: Phlox can do it
Talon Lardner 's rump is sore from his seat... just thought he'd add to this ackwardness....
Jyrras Wilder: just wanted to make a statement about noncombatants showing up under tactical event sir

Applause Box: Katrina Bixby clapped!
JD Matova: clapping
Gandalf Nakamura claps
Bau Ur: The additional teleports are welcome but would be less necessary were we able to set landmarks.
Andromeda Quonset: I don't have that information.
Andromeda Quonset: Si?
Si Arcadia: When and how went the last meeting of science?
Andromeda Quonset: Vanessa would have that information, or Picard.
Si Arcadia: Thank-you
Andromeda Quonset: DarthBunny?
DarthBunny Petrov: The 'ufo' that chases you around after using that new transporter system, is that a feature that can be disabled? as it can be a little annoying
Gizmo Theas nods in agreement
Andromeda Quonset: It can be disabled, it has to be done at every pad.
Pax Forwzy also nods in agreement.
Andromeda Quonset: I did have it disabled on several pads.
Andromeda Quonset: It seems that they got re-enabled when I installed the update yesterday.
Rowan Jacobus: they are fun,
Andromeda Quonset: So I do plan to disable it on many of the pads.
Andromeda Quonset: Supposedly, other effects are possible.
LauraAnne Sheridan: like star trek effects?
Andromeda Quonset: I have considered a Borg cube chasing one around, for isntance. or a tiny starship.
Andromeda Quonset: Yes, maybe str trek effects.
Pax Forwzy raises hand.
You: rolls eyes
Andromeda Quonset: Pax?
Bau Ur ponders human concepts of what constitutes fun, a borg cube being nearly incomprehensible
LauraAnne Sheridan: trek effect would seem....logical
Pax Forwzy: is there anyway we can do to turn these effects off at our end? I don't know if I want anything chasing aftter me after I teleport.
Gizmo Theas nods in agreement
Andromeda Quonset: Right now, i will have to turn them off.
Gizmo Theas: *Raises Hand*
Andromeda Quonset: Yes Gizmo?
Bau Ur reflects on the hazards involved and the liklihood that at some point a Klingon will see one of those things and start shooting
Rafe Wilber: hehe
Gizmo Theas: Have the various TP solutions been reviewed by the anti-lag team?
Areyn Laurasia looks forward to capturing one of the 'ufo's for studies...
Si Arcadia + rit aux éclats + * laughs heartily *
Andromeda Quonset: I think that the TP scripts have been checked in conjunction with all the other scriipts during the course of their daily routine.
Andromeda Quonset: They haven't given me any information about any of the systems.

Gandalf Nakamura: sir
Free Radar HUD v1.1 by Crystal Gadgets
RoBobby McMillan: I believe DarkAlpha will take TK's role as lead... or at least, that seems logical to me. I'm sure it first has to be officially approved. As for Asst. Lead of Activities... I'm not certain.
RoBobby McMillan: You'd have to ask Talon for that.
RoBobby McMillan: Admiral, thank you for your patience.
You: ok, next report
Bau Ur applauds
You: Action Lead Personnel Officer, Lt Cmdr Ethan Muldoon
You: Acting
Dolamite Giffen: Action?

LauraAnne Sheridan: kinda looks like an action figure though
Ethan Muldoon: Good afternoon Admrials, members of the Fleet, and guests.
Ethan Muldoon: As some of you may know, we have had the resignation of two members of our staff, Lt. JG Morgue McMillan and Lt. JG Carrington Stepford.
Ethan Muldoon: Both are fine officers, and both site RL and SL obligations taht led them to their decision.
Ethan Muldoon: Lt. JG Morgue McMillan will still be carrying on her duties with other divisions of SLQ, so her talents will still be put to use in the Academy and Counseling.
Ethan Muldoon: Despite the absence of these fine officers, our staff will still endeavor to meet the expectations of the Fleet.
Ethan Muldoon: With that said, I am honored to announce that we have added additional members to our staff. These are:
Ethan Muldoon: PERSONNEL RECRUITERS:
Ethan Muldoon: Ensign Kitsunami Chu

Ethan Muldoon: As it was mentioned before, there are many openings within the Engineering Division. So if you are a talents builder, scripter, animator please come see me in Placement. If I am not available, drop me a notecard on my desk with what you would be interested in doing, and your talents.

Dolamite Giffen: nah
Warren Holt: yep
Warren Holt: Just was lagging out, sorry about that
Jyrras Wilder: dern he was awake
Warren Holt: Good Evening everyone, thanks for staying awake till my turn
wanted to say, first, welcome back from LOA Lt Dolamite Giffen, too many other things happening this GM to mention so I'll move onto my report.Warren Holt: Last week I gave information on communications next project. which is a promotional video for our group. and schedualed a public open meeting this thursday at 12pm SLT (noon)
Warren Holt: hmm, i should of spell checked.
Warren Holt: The meeting went well, had many in attendance who gave many great idea's for this project, and it was decided to hold these meetings every week thursday at 12pm SLT (noon)
Warren Holt: Also it was decided to ask at this General meeting, as well as afterward (will be making a post on forums) about asking for submissions of idea's for scenes for the video. the group promotional video we will be producing soon.
Warren Holt: In the main video it was decided to do an intro scene, like a trek series, with a short roleplay scene aboard a galaxy bridge, and space scene with possibly a battle scene with klingons, then a fade out/in to other scenes, with many other scenes .
Warren Holt: like a movie preview with short 6-10 second scenes of our group, divisions in action, medical, counselors, tacticals, research, personnel, so what we're going to be asking for idea's from people (anyone) and division leads on these.
Warren Holt: (ops forgot i had coffee in my hand
)Warren Holt: We're asking for idea's for these short scenes, but detailed scene infomration of camera angles and movements, and the setting of it, where it will take place, and whats happening in the scene, and any possible text to fade in and out at the end of the scene, these would be each focused on divisions, like aircorps etc.
Warren Holt: So please make up notecards and submit these idea's for scenes, by this wedsday the 1st of august, and we will be holding another meeting on the 2nd of august, thursday 12pm SLT (noon) to go over the submissions and make a storyboard with the groups ideas for video, then begin production soon after, we want everyone involved in this.
Warren Holt: With the new plaza area for the galaxy region completed, we need to start promoting our group more, and hopefully start some themed weekends and events and more video's for group promotion purposes.
Warren Holt: Ok , moving to old news, we are looking for people to join communications with photo,video production/editing experience, and also with journalistic or editing skills, we have a few projects that are in need of project leads.
Warren Holt: We're still looking for news submissions for our group newsletter. please forward any you have to me, also on another note the forums has a new area, called newscast (thanks to Dirk Klees) , for members to keep other members informed of news, even stuff mentioned at GM's, so please use it to keep our members who do not attend the general meetings or read the logs informed of happenings.
Warren Holt: Other than this, their is nothing new to report, we're making progress on a communications 101 course, and the advanced courses will teach graphics editing technique's to make posters and such, and texture making. using (gimp (freeware) & photoshop) , we will keep you informed of progress.
Warren Holt: I mentioned last week will do so again, Lt Cmdr, Dwain knight is away for a few weeks on LOA, he is still lead of our division, but i am in charge in his absence till his return , so Please contact me for anything regarding Comm's , or joining our division, or any of the projects i mentioned.

Bau Ur ponders the phrase "siling up to one's ears. If a Vulcan were to smile up to his ears, it would be not only a degenerate act of emotion, but also anatomically harmful.
You: yes, Jyrras?
Rafe Wilber: Phlox can do it
Talon Lardner 's rump is sore from his seat... just thought he'd add to this ackwardness....
Jyrras Wilder: just wanted to make a statement about noncombatants showing up under tactical event sir
