This is an edited transcript of the Blake Sea Townhall Meeting on August 23, 2009. Since Jack Linden spoke in SL Voice, Blondin Linden transcribed what Jack said for those who could not use use SL Voice and so this transcript could at least capture the core of Jack’s comments.
I have attempted to edit out much of the extraneous comments but much still remains (I could spend a week editing this, but wanted to get it uploaded with dispatch). On several occasions I have edited out questions for which Blondin did not provide a transcript of Jack’s answer and I could not remember the answer. On several other occasions the questions remain. On occasion I have added in double square brackets [[ ]] my memory of Jack’s answers or statements when Blondin missed them.
The subject of the meeting, the Blake Sea Code of Conduct (pre-publication), can be found here.
[8:00] Jack Linden: guys, though we’ll be taking questions from you all in text, i’ll be responding in voice hopefully

[[At 8:05 Meeting gets going in earnest. Jack speaking in SL Voice with Blondin transcribing into text chat]]
[8:05] Blondin Linden: Overall Blake Sea has been pretty sucessful
[8:05] Clay Ellison: YAY! (yay!)
[8:05] Clay Ellison: ???????? Applauds! ????????
[8:05] Chad Sawson: ???????? APPLAUSE!!! ????????
[8:05] Chad Sawson: Applause!!
[8:05] Blondin Linden: Shout out to MTW and Nber and all those who have helped
[8:05] Ceorl Onlyone: Heroic Effort!
[8:05] Chad Sawson: ???????? APPLAUSE!!! ????????
[8:05] Blondin Linden: Thanks to them for taking some of the pain and we appeciate it
[8:05] Blondin Linden: This code of conduct is really one of 2 docs we want to put out
[8:06] Blondin Linden: The 2nd is a document, a guidline for partnerships with Lindens. Lots of groups have requested a partnership like Blake Sea
[8:06] Blondin Linden: SO that 2nd Doc will come out around the same time, next week or two
[8:06] Blondin Linden: Pending feedback
[8:06] Blondin Linden: 2nd Doc will include, what is Linden looking for, what do we expect, what do we not need and how does someone apply, the procees
[8:07] Blondin Linden: SOrry for misspells
[8:07] Blondin Linden: 
[8:07] Blondin Linden: he wants to point out, its a living doc
[8:07] Blondin Linden: like the TOS and CS, they are all living, they change, and evolve
[8:07] Blondin Linden: DOn’t think the doc is set in stone
[8:08] Blondin Linden: we expect to revise it regulary
[8:08] Blondin Linden: Its not an end point
[8:08] Blondin Linden: Finally, last point
[8:08] Blondin Linden: Blake Sea is for ALL sailors
[8:08] Blondin Linden: we have partnered with USS who have been very engaged
[8:08] LauraAnne Sheridan: and aviators?
[8:08] JimEd Nicholls: what about pilots?
[8:09] Blondin Linden: WE need to recognize this in a public space
[8:09] Blondin Linden: but fundamentally for everyone
[8:09] Blondin Linden:
[[Jack said: Aviators can send me IMs with their suggestions about aviation areas]]
[8:09] JimEd Nicholls: i sent one
[8:09] LauraAnne Sheridan: I did
[8:09] JimEd Nicholls: so did i
[8:10] Surfwidow Beaumont: you cant rez
[8:10] GaiaGirl Pearl: yes
[8:10] Keira Linden: Object Entry as well
[8:11] Scurvy Ragu: yay
[8:11] Blondin Linden: Its difficult to manage if a whole area becomes Damaged enabled
[8:11] Blondin Linden: Lets talk more about that
[8:11] Blondin Linden: Give Jack a shout
[8:11] Blondin Linden: WE
[8:11] GaiaGirl Pearl: great TY
[8:11] Blondin Linden: re not closed to the idea
[8:11] Blondin Linden: [8:04] Ceorl Onlyone: Blondin, how many individuals will be given the additional powers to police events? and what is the vetting process to be in that number?
[8:12] Blondin Linden: There are a number of folks in that role now
[8:12] Blondin Linden: May be a bit difficult if there are 100s of people in the role
[[Jack asked how many in the EVENTS role]]
[8:12] MarkTwain White: 18
[8:12] Nber Medici: 18 Event members
[8:12] Blondin Linden: THis would be a conv between LL and the partnership group. We don’t want to be the ones to limit it
[8:13] Blondin Linden: If you come to us and say we think 30 is the right number, then thats up to you, but we dont want to see it jumping to a large number
[8:13] Blondin Linden: Think through the number of people you give that role to
[8:13] Blondin Linden: It becomes difficult to manage
[8:13] Blondin Linden: [8:04] LauraAnne Sheridan: Many of us here are SL Aviators, we want to know that our use and acess to the skies over the Blake sea wont be limted by the USS as long as we dont directly interfere with thier activities below
[8:14] Blondin Linden: Its a public space
[8:14] Blondin Linden: You should be free to to fly
[8:14] Blondin Linden: I would ask that you keep in mind that the area is geared up for sailing
[8:14] Blondin Linden: It makes sense to be mindful of that
[8:14] LauraAnne Sheridan: well we cant hardly fly over mainland anymore
[8:14] Blondin Linden: But you should feel free to use the area
[8:14] LauraAnne Sheridan nods
[8:15] LauraAnne Sheridan: yes ty
[8:15] Quirky Torok: as long as its not too low
[8:15] JimEd Nicholls: exactly laura… grid performance prevents us from flying over mainland
[8:15] Blondin Linden: Jim had a follow up
[8:15] Blondin Linden: [8:05] JimEd Nicholls: Im a sailor and an aviator. How does the aviation community fit into this and will we have any representation?
[8:15] Blondin Linden: Its a public area and its also a partnership area
[8:15] Blondin Linden: We can have that convo if the aviators need some type of representation
[8:16] Blondin Linden: We don’t know who is involved with that – IE, who runs, how it works
[8:16] Blondin Linden: But we’re open to it
[8:16] JimEd Nicholls: blake sea is one of the FEW areas where one can actually fly
[8:17] JimEd Nicholls: there are a t least 4 of us here
[8:17] jetplane1123 Hanly: 5
[8:17] jetplane1123 Hanly: hehe
[8:17] Chad Sawson: due to low lag?
[8:17] CallieDel Boa: I enjoy watching sailing from my Airship
[8:17] JimEd Nicholls: no, grid performance jack
[8:17] Orca Flotta: 6
[8:17] JimEd Nicholls: yes
[8:17] LauraAnne Sheridan: exactly
[8:17] Surfwidow Beaumont: no ban zones either
[8:17] Orca Flotta: and no banlines
[8:17] Surfwidow Beaumont: yup snap!*
[8:17] LauraAnne Sheridan: and you can actualy go somewhere
[8:17] Chad Sawson: i think the sailing and flying communities can certianly work things out also
[8:17] Jack Linden: jack@lindenlab.com
[8:17] LauraAnne Sheridan: I agree Chad
[8:18] JimEd Nicholls: got it thank you
[8:18] Blondin Linden: [8:06] Surfwidow Beaumont: Hi Blondin nice to meet you – I am wondering what safeguards there are to prevent cronyism from becoming established as this sort of arrangement can become quite cliquey very quickly and result in a two tier situation whereby one voice is stronger than the others and they can basically railroad others into complying with then else they are outcasts – it would be nice if this has some sort of public committee maybe on a monthly basis held here where people can participate as it changes and is seen to be flexible and fair
[8:18] CallieDel Boa: I agree
[8:18] Blondin Linden: We deal with this all the time
[8:19] Blondin Linden: Everytime we reach out to a person, or a group, we accused of favortism
[8:19] CallieDel Boa: Understood
[8:19] Blondin Linden: We need to be careful to avoid the area being exclusive
[8:19] Blondin Linden: We’ve tried to make it inclusive to all and we’ve asked that the USS do this by posting events in the public spaces
[8:19] Chad Sawson: we already have a good working relationship with the Nautilus folks btw
[[Jack makes a comment about trying to sail to a LEARN TO SAIL CLASS and could not even make it to the event he was such a bad sailor]]
[8:19] MarkTwain White: hehe
[8:19] Surfwidow Beaumont:
[8:19] LauraAnne Sheridan: lol
[8:19] CallieDel Boa giggles
[8:19] Liv Leigh: need lessons ?
[8:20] Ceorl Onlyone: we still need ballast Jack
[8:20] BennyThe Boozehound: Free lessons every Sunday Jack
[8:20] Jean Swashbuckler: nods and agrees with Chad
[8:20] Blondin Linden: We’re not aware of anything that is being too cliquey
[8:20] Chad Sawson: ha ha ha you go Benny
[8:20] Blondin Linden: spelling
[8:20] Blondin Linden:
[8:20] Liv Leigh: and thursday or tuesdays.. lots of training opportunities 
[8:20] Blondin Linden: But let us know if it is
[8:20] Liv Leigh: haha
[8:21] Liv Leigh: you need a private coach then
[8:21] Blondin Linden: [8:09] Aleks Piers: Ahoy, I have a problem with the term “sailBOAT” in the right of way passage. – It is a bit unclear to those who sail pirate ships being bigger sluggisher and way less capable to stay out of a sailboat’s way. – Of course the priority of racing flottilas isn’t questioned…
[8:21] Chad Sawson: ill send you an invite Jack….
[8:21] Chad Sawson: tonage rights? lol
[8:21] Blondin Linden: Interesting question. Maybe you can give me YOUR perspective
[8:21] Sidney Sheldon sighs
[8:22] Blondin Linden: All vehicles all welcome to come into Blake Sea and enjoy it, its predominatly meant for sailboats
[8:22] Surfwidow Beaumont: agreed
[8:22] Orca Flotta: pirate ships arev sailboats and have to comply to the rules, easy as that
[8:22] Blondin Linden: It makes since that sailboats get the right of way
[8:22] Surfwidow Beaumont: power gives way to sail P
[8:22] Chad Sawson: agreed Orca
[8:22] Sho Kyong: Pirate ships sail in the wind
[8:22] Ceorl Onlyone: least manuverable gets right of way in RL™
[8:22] JimEd Nicholls: im a RL boater… sails have right aweay in RL
[8:22] Surfwidow Beaumont: yeah oil tankers
[8:22] jetplane1123 Hanly: yes Jim
[8:22] Chad Sawson: I think the issue arrises primarily during racing events also
[8:22] Orca Flotta: trucks have to follow the rules of road traffic as well as sports cars, same on the water
[8:23] Aleks Piers: I just thought one should replace the term boat with sailing vessle since well both are sailing – no idea how tonnage is dealt with IRL
[8:23] Blondin Linden: sailing vessel?
[8:23] Surfwidow Beaumont: to cover ships?
[8:23] Aleks Piers: Aye
[8:23] Blondin Linden: instead of sailboat?
[8:23] Blondin Linden: How do you feel about the small change in wording?
[8:23] XiuLan Quan: bravo
[8:23] JimEd Nicholls: sailing vessel is a bit exclusionary
[8:23] Sho Kyong: aye
[8:23] Chad Sawson: I think it makes sense
[8:23] Borday Moo: use the rl rules
[8:23] Nber Medici: not sure what the difference is really
[8:23] XiuLan Quan: change it
[8:23] LauraAnne Sheridan: some sailing vessels are wind driven in SL….others…you drive like a car
[8:23] Surfwidow Beaumont: there are some larger boats that could be classified as ships now
[8:23] Orca Flotta: oh my
[8:24] MarkTwain White: means the same thing
[8:24] Sidney Sheldon: aleks, it isnt. in RL right of way is easy enough: commercial vessel has right of way over sailboat, sailboat has right of way over private motor vessel
[8:24] Liv Leigh: i dont mind. sailboat is easier i think for non-native english speakers
[8:24] Blondin Linden: Any reason why we shouldnt change it to sailing vessel
[8:24] Blondin Linden: ?
[8:24] CallieDel Boa: I agree with Liv
[8:24] Tig Spijkers: then you have sailing vessels with motors
[8:24] LauraAnne Sheridan: some boats dont actualy “sail” at all
[8:24] Liv Leigh: 50% of the sailors comes from asia now..
[8:24] Blondin Linden: 1/2 the residents in SL are international we need it to be as understandable as possible
[8:24] Surfwidow Beaumont: water craft?
[8:24] Sidney Sheldon: god, are we sopposed to edit other peoples boats now to see what kind of scripts are in it?
[8:24] Sho Kyong: sailing ship?
[8:24] Surfwidow Beaumont: is probably the most inclusive term
[8:25] Oma Larnia: Hope not, that stops them dead if you edit them.
[8:25] Sidney Sheldon: exactly.
[8:25] Scurvy Ragu: editing boats should not be done
[8:25] Orca Flotta: then they are not sailing boats, Laura, and must be seen as motorboats
[8:25] MarkTwain White: sailboat is probably the least likely to suffer from language barriers
[8:25] Sidney Sheldon: how about “if it looks like a sailboat, it is one”?
[8:25] Chad Sawson: wind powered floating thingy
[8:25] Talulah Munro: it’s basically saying that everyone should show some common courtesy, and I would think that that woudl be no matter what kind of boat it is
[8:25] LauraAnne Sheridan: agreed…yet they show sails
[8:25] Talulah Munro: would*
[8:25] Keira Linden: lol
[8:25] Fanci Beebe: lol.
[8:25] Blondin Linden: [8:09] Greythistle Twine: if Blake Sea is for ALL sailors, what is the mechanism whereby ALL sailors can organise events in the Blake Sea and will this be documented?
[8:25] Blondin Linden: The Uss has their methods in place
[8:26] Aleks Piers: Sorry for opening that can of worms – blushes
[8:26] Scurvy Ragu: editing a boat is a bannable offense in many places cause it stops a ship cold in the water
[8:26] Blondin Linden: Calendaring and scheduling is sopmething we can spend 2 hours on
[8:26] Blondin Linden: from our point of view, what we care most about, is that if someone is using the Blake Sea, that its listed SOMEWHERE publicly
[8:26] MarkTwain White: actually, jack, the SL Sailing Calendar covers all sailing groups in all areas of SL sailing, its not the USS calendear
[8:26] Blondin Linden: THe public events listing calendar is a good place to do it
[8:26] CallieDel Boa: Scurvy unfortunately it happens so fast some are unable to find who “edits” them in time to file an AR
[8:27] Tasha Kostolany: no it deosn’t mark — it deosn’t cover ALL grops
[8:27] Scurvy Ragu: true
[8:27] Blondin Linden: Having a single calendar would be perfect
[8:27] Sidney Sheldon: where is that public events listing calendar?
[8:27] Sidney Sheldon: is that search-]]events? well hidden between all the yard sales?
[8:27] MarkTwain White: true, at least one group does not particpate in the SL sailing calendar
[8:27] Chad Sawson: slsailing.com Sidney
[8:27] Liv Leigh: it doesnt make it lear yet for outsiders though where exactly the events takes place often. it can still surprise people who ”get in the way” of an event
[8:27] Surfwidow Beaumont: its a shame that all the YC couldnt subscribe and have posting rights to an OFFICIAL blake sea calendar hosted by LL
[8:27] Nber Medici: both slsailng.com and org
[8:28] Blondin Linden: [8:12] Liv Leigh: many of our sailing events use blake sea only as part of our course. races for instance extend from here into the nautilus area or beyond. what is trhe relevance of the code of conduct for events tthat use blake sea and both nautilus area for instance in one event?
[8:28] Surfwidow Beaumont: perhaps as an extension to the SL Forums
[8:28] Sidney Sheldon: what about all the people who normally dont care about us sailors? they need a place to see that we’re here chasing fizzes at some time, too
[8:28] Liv Leigh: i mean not exclusively.. error in formulating
[8:28] Blondin Linden: The CoC is specific for the Blake Sea area
[8:28] Blondin Linden: if you head West, the Coc is not intended to cover that, its meant for Blake Sea
[8:28] Sidney Sheldon: hmm so where ends the blake sea area? lot of races extend into other waterways…
[8:28] LauraAnne Sheridan: i think….the fear really is when you give control to a private group….it soon becomes not very public
[8:29] Blondin Linden: Outside of that, the regions are fine to do waht they want under the normal Tos And CS
[8:29] JimEd Nicholls: exactly laura
[8:29] Tasha Kostolany: exactly Lara
[8:29] Orca Flotta: zactly
[8:29] Blondin Linden: Lauraanee, thats a valid concern
[8:29] Tweedlife Dezno: Gude luck with this y’all.
[8:29] Blondin Linden: we dont wish that to happen
[8:29] Sidney Sheldon: so if i sail west, as soon as i’m too close to nautilus island, the CoC is worth nothing?
[8:29] Blondin Linden: The USS do not seem keen on being exclusive
[8:29] LauraAnne Sheridan: fair enough
[8:29] Blondin Linden: And we need to work together to keep it from happening
[8:30] Tasha Kostolany: (caugh caugh)
[8:30] Nber Medici: [8:29] Blondin Linden: THe USS do not seem keen on being exclusive
[8:30] Blondin Linden: Coc is meant for the Blake Sea
[8:30] Blackbird Latte: how does That effect social gaming and griefing people off of the sea?
[8:30] Blondin Linden: TOS and CS is still applicable
[8:30] CallieDel Boa: Thank you BlackBird!
[8:30] Blondin Linden: SO people are still not allowed to abuse you in anyway
[8:30] LauraAnne Sheridan: lol
[8:30] jetplane1123 Hanly: i’ve had that before
[8:30] jetplane1123 Hanly: loll
[8:30] Blackbird Latte: If they harass individuals or grief them while racing they are not enjoying the sea
[8:31] Blondin Linden: [8:25] CallieDel Boa: Edit brings up another question, when racing people when editing other’s boats stops them dead in the water during races
[8:31] Oma Larnia nods.
[8:31] Blondin Linden: The right click stop is a problem
[8:31] Blondin Linden: MTW and Nber can correct us
[8:31] Sidney Sheldon: yea, but… within the blake sea area its defined miuch more clearly what counts as abuse, if i’m on a sailboat
[8:31] MarkTwain White: sorry
[8:31] MarkTwain White: it does happen enough’
[8:31] Scurvy Ragu: why cant LL fix that?
[8:31] Blondin Linden: Its been rare if the races have been seriously obstructed b/c of this
[8:31] Blondin Linden: we have been talking in the lab about the issue
[8:31] MarkTwain White: to need to be dealt with
[8:31] Sidney Sheldon: 10 meters further west, a sim that is not named “blake sea – soandso”, and its not as clear anymore
[8:31] Blondin Linden: If theres a technical fix
[8:32] Blondin Linden: Wether it makes sense for it to be able to the land owner or to group memebers
[8:32] Quirky Torok: damn thats a good idea
[8:32] Blackbird Latte: There is not a technical fix but there is a disciplinary fix
[8:32] Blondin Linden: That way, people here could use it for abuse issues
[8:32] Blondin Linden: But there are many use cases for people to use Right click
[8:33] Blondin Linden: very few ARs from Blake Sea
[8:33] MarkTwain White: liv is proably right on the numbers, but that does not mean it has not happened at critical times
[8:33] Chad Sawson: In most cases that has happened to newbies that dont know about the racing
[8:33] Blondin Linden: It is one of the most quiet parts
[8:33] Surfwidow Beaumont: O:D wwe are all so ggood
[8:33] Liv Leigh: true mark, and it does annoy people tremendously
[8:33] Sidney Sheldon: the easiest way to stop dumb people from right clicking is an invisible prim
[8:33] Blondin Linden: [8:15] Tomm Kira: the question regarding what has to be done to become a person with additional powers over the blake sea was not answered…
[8:33] Blondin Linden: Sorry if we missed something
[8:34] Blackbird Latte: Blondin has Linden labs attempted to trace how many actual real life users have populated Blake sea compared to false population produced using alts?
[8:34] Sidney Sheldon: _not_ worn on a sailors bum… just put invisiprim fences around spectators platforms
[8:34] Orca Flotta: powers should only be give to people who don’t want them!!!
[8:34] Blondin Linden: Do you mean the abiity to eject and freeze? That is linked to certain roles for Blake Sea
[8:34] LauraAnne Sheridan: so who does one talk to to join that group?
[8:34] Blondin Linden: The USS
[8:34] Tomm Kira: and who controls the USS on this?
[8:35] Blondin Linden: What do you mean
[8:35] Dil Spitz: there need to be transparency
[8:35] Tomm Kira: i liked the idea of a monthly meeting regarding adjustments or eventually also regarding who is in that group
[8:35] Tomm Kira: *meeting
[8:35] JimEd Nicholls: so. basically the USS is the 800 gorilla in this?
[8:35] Surfwidow Beaumont: yes i suggested this to Blondin it is in IM i think
[8:35] MarkTwain White: a bit of history might be helpful….
[8:35] MarkTwain White: when the Blake Sea launched….
[8:36] Blondin Linden: Tom and JIm, it sounds like your concered about how the USS and LL are working together in this area
[8:36] JimEd Nicholls: im a student of human natue and have a jaundiced eye
[8:36] Sidney Sheldon puts on his flame-resitant underwear
[8:36] Blondin Linden: This colabartion was brand new
[8:36] Blondin Linden: we’ve learned a great deal from it
[8:36] Blondin Linden: You can see how much the USS have put into it and how invest they are in making sailing a sucess
[8:36] Blondin Linden: and thats been appeciated by LL
[8:37] Blondin Linden: A part of that partnership is shared expectations
[8:37] Blondin Linden: we expect them to keep it open and fair
[8:37] Blondin Linden: and how to get people involved
[8:37] Blondin Linden: and I’ve not heard from everyone saying that its been impossible for them
[8:37] Blondin Linden: But we do want it to be inclusive
[8:38] Blondin Linden: but we can’t deal with 20 different groups in this area
[8:38] Blondin Linden: THe 2nd Doc will talk about how to apply for a partnership
[8:38] jetplane1123 Hanly nods
[8:38] Blondin Linden: like the aviators for example
[8:38] Orca Flotta: Blondin, you’re hired as secretary
[8:38] Blondin Linden: and we are very open to that
[8:38] LauraAnne Sheridan: is it based on number of members…or how many open space sim we pay tier on?
[8:38] JimEd Nicholls: we will be in communication with you on the aviation issue
[8:38] Tomm Kira: ok, i will wait for the 2nd Doc.
[8:38] Orca Flotta: what a fast little typist he is
[8:39] Blondin Linden: We hear your concerns but we havent seen any evidence of it
[8:39] Tig Spijkers: the USS has 5 airports, correct me if I am wrong Mark
[8:39] MarkTwain White: at least tig
[8:39] jetplane1123 Hanly: a bit more
[8:39] Blondin Linden: There will be an element of size to it
[8:39] LauraAnne Sheridan: certainly
[8:39] Blondin Linden: We can’t accomdate everyone 
[8:39] MarkTwain White: would LOVE an avaition community area
[8:39] jetplane1123 Hanly: thank you Mark
[8:39] Blondin Linden: It will need to be an active, large community
[8:39] Blondin Linden: Explains how they benefit the mailand
[8:39] Surfwidow Beaumont: Surfwidow Beaumont: you have seen today the amount of people here all coming together to meet about this issue almost all of these people would be outside of the private meetings wouldnt it be a good idea to have some sort of committee thats public and held here once a month to address concerns
[8:39] CallieDel Boa: Yes mark huge!
[8:39] JimEd Nicholls: seperate but equal mark? that dog won’t hunt
[8:39] Blondin Linden: and we would get into a conversation with them
[8:40] Sidney Sheldon: seriously… the biggest problems that i have noticed around here are people leaving parts of boats behind when they crash on a sim border.
[8:40] Blondin Linden: some groups may not want that – may want different things than the USS needed for the sailing community
[8:40] Sidney Sheldon: or other vehicles, for that matter
[8:40] Blackbird Latte: Sidney the only way to deal with that is the out of control use of alts for griefing and social gaming
[8:40] Clay Ellison: yes
[8:40] Surfwidow Beaumont: ))
[8:40] OUTLAW Acker: great idea
[8:40] Liv Leigh: it is often near impossible to find crashed boats back sidney. they get many sims away from the crash spot often
[8:40] Blondin Linden: We havent had plans to impose a media stream
[8:40] CallieDel Boa: There are plenty of media devices you can mod your boats with
[8:41] Surfwidow Beaumont: sea chanty FM
[8:41] Liv Leigh: and most of them are dealt with by autoreturns
[8:41] Clay Ellison: ok thank you
[8:41] Blondin Linden: We’re not adverse to the idea if someone wants to propose a stream that everyone can agree on
[8:41] Blondin Linden: But not sure how we’d do that
[8:41] Quirky Torok: ar martini in the morning on the blake sea. perfect
[8:41] Blondin Linden: [8:34] Ceorl Onlyone: Blondin, is there any chance of allowing rezzing everywhere in Blake Sea with autoreturn turned on? Having to find and go to a rezz spot is very unnatural and inconvenient.
[8:41] Nber Medici: wooooot QT
[8:41] MarkTwain White: haha Quirky
[8:41] Surfwidow Beaumont: good idea
[8:42] Blondin Linden: What do you all think about that, rezzing everywhere in Blake Sea?
[8:42] LauraAnne Sheridan: yes definatly
[8:42] Sidney Sheldon: what he said!
[8:42] MarkTwain White: i like that idea
[8:42] Blondin Linden: It changes things
[8:42] Athena Ellison: good idea
[8:42] Tasha Kostolany: I like it
[8:42] Chad Sawson: I think it would help sailors who crash for sure!
[8:42] Rabby Hawker: Problem is you have sailors in different time periods so a special channel will not stisfy all I’d figure
[8:42] Orca Flotta:
[8:42] Nber Medici: but would have to be a short autoreturn
[8:42] Yawara Texan: I vote aye…
[8:42] CallieDel Boa:
[8:42] Orca Flotta: was a joke, more a jazz fan now
[8:42] Martina Lewsey: would solve a lot probs, good idea
[8:42] Kirby Jameson: excellent idea
[8:42] Chad Sawson: during races for example
[8:42] JimEd Nicholls: short auto return would work
[8:42] Sidney Sheldon: nothing wrong with 5 minutes autoreturn
[8:42] LauraAnne Sheridan: we get knocked out of the sky by as sim cross….we have no where to rez and get going again….same with boats
[8:42] Fanci Beebe: Rez with a 3 to 5 minute auto return.. enough time to get in
[8:42] Sidney Sheldon: and rezzing anywhere
[8:43] LauraAnne Sheridan: short auto return would be WONDERFUL
[8:43] Chad Sawson: agreed Fanci
[[Jack asked for a vote. How many think rezzing throughout the Blake Sea is a good idea]]
[8:43] Slado Bellic: aye!
[8:43] Greythistle Twine: yes
[8:43] Chad Sawson: yes

[8:43] Orca Flotta: indifferent
[8:43] Surfwidow Beaumont: YESSSS!!!
[8:43] WillOW Gynoid: yes
[8:43] Astro Marksman: yes
[8:43] Clay Ellison: lol
[8:43] Athena Ellison: ha!
[8:43] Sigrun Lyle: aye
[8:43] jetplane1123 Hanly: Loll
[8:43] Nber Medici: LOL
[8:43] Quirky Torok: yess!!
[8:43] Chakku451 Rieko: I’m in favor, wth a 3 to 5 minute autoreturn
[8:43] Aleks Piers: yes
[8:43] Isis Rexie: unanimous
[8:43] Scurvy Ragu: ?¯`•:. WhaHaHaHa Arr! .:•´¯?
[8:43] Borday Moo: it will turn into a sandbox
[8:43] Orca Flotta: ? ? ? ha ha ha ? ? ?
[8:43] JimEd Nicholls: pilots and sailors agree on that
[8:43] Sharptongue Chronisch: yes..short autoreturn to avoid wrecks^^
[8:43] Tasha Kostolany: (if grifing or noobies become a problem as a sandbox you could asjut it later)
[8:43] Keira Linden: Absolutely.
[8:44] MarkTwain White: short autoreturn is good, no sandboxes
[8:44] Surfwidow Beaumont: be generous with the retuurn time though
[8:44] Surfwidow Beaumont: P
[8:44] Blondin Linden: [8:34] Tasha Kostolany: So if we are seeing abuses in how the Blake Sea is being run by the private group , who do we address that to with Linden Labs?
[8:44] Surfwidow Beaumont:
[8:44] LauraAnne Sheridan: even a small zone in the center of EACH sim
[8:44] BennyThe Boozehound: Not with 3 min auto Borday
[8:44] Liv Leigh: not too short an autoreturn, thwt causes other issues
[8:44] Sidney Sheldon: autoreturn 1 minute should work as well
[8:44] Gemma Vuckovic: no rezzing infront of start-lines
[8:44] Blondin Linden: You can AR
[8:44] Blondin Linden: Or DIrect to Jack, Blondin or Keira
[8:44] Sidney Sheldon: if you dont get on your boat in a minute you have too much lag for proper sailing anyways
[8:44] Blondin Linden: A private group is not running the space, but the USS is working with us on how it evolves and grows, but the space is Linden land
[8:45] Sharptongue Chronisch: but what about leaving ship to explore some isle??..a chance for a group tack for all residents or club sailors to avoid rezzing one’s ship all the time??
[8:45] Scurvy Ragu: Will blakes sea expand to other areas?
[8:45] Tasha Kostolany: yes thank you!!!
[8:45] jetplane1123 Hanly: perfect
[8:46] Chad Sawson: nautilus could us a bit more water!
[8:46] Clay Ellison: that would be awsome
[8:46] JimEd Nicholls: i agree with that jack!!!
[8:46] Blondin Linden: Will the blake Sea Expand? Perhaps, If you look at how the BS exisits, with Nautiuls in the middle, there is a space over there where it can expand
[8:46] Sidney Sheldon: how about a waterway between korsika and sansara
[8:46] Kirby Jameson: without windsetters, being able to rez is not very useful
[8:46] Blondin Linden: BS can expand to the SOuth
[8:46] jetplane1123 Hanly: yes
[8:46] LauraAnne Sheridan: can seas be made deeper? there are submariners out there too
[8:46] jetplane1123 Hanly: South would be great!
[8:46] Orca Flotta: yep
[8:46] Blondin Linden: [8:22] Athena Ellison: Hi ! I have a question about an official event schedule .. right now the only reliable schedule is on SL Sailing .com
[8:47] Orca Flotta: well, reliable :/
[8:47] Surfwidow Beaumont: drop some more water sims off Boogdolt P hehehe
[8:47] jetplane1123 Hanly: [8:46] LauraAnne Sheridan: can seas be made deeper? there are submariners out there too
[8:47] Blondin Linden: Linden is here to help support, but we dont want to tell how how to manage your community. You know whats best. But we’ll do what we can to support.
[8:47] jetplane1123 Hanly: Deeper waters would be good
[8:47] Chad Sawson: I will host a discussion between groups to iron out scheduling resourses if folks are interested
[8:47] Isis Rexie: Hell … even J-Class skips wuld like deeper seas
[8:48] Jane Fossett: yes chad
[8:48] Blondin Linden: We jsut care about the events being public
[8:48] LauraAnne Sheridan: yes gets very shallow in places
[8:48] Surfwidow Beaumont: yes the terraforming is very shallow in places
[8:48] JimEd Nicholls: exactly Isis!
[8:48] Athena Ellison: yes ..
[8:48] jetplane1123 Hanly: agree with laura on deeper Sea’s
[8:48] Surfwidow Beaumont: allow for keep depth
[8:48] JimEd Nicholls: its a problem for j class boats
[8:48] Surfwidow Beaumont: keel
[8:48] Nber Medici: keel for some boats
[8:48] Blondin Linden: Why would you need deeper seas?
[8:48] BennyThe Boozehound: heh gets that way in the real world too
[8:48] Orca Flotta: and yachts with deep keels
[8:48] Nber Medici: and for subs
[8:48] JimEd Nicholls: many sail boats have deep keels
[8:48] Blondin Linden: What is a J Class boat?
[8:48] Chad Sawson: they are classic vessels
[8:48] Jane Fossett: I’ve discussed the issue with Michael and MTW
[8:48] Ceorl Onlyone: and mermaids
[8:48] Greythistle Twine: bigger boat deeper keel
[8:48] Blackbird Latte: Deeper is better the blake sea being lake depth has effected multiple user groups
[8:48] Sidney Sheldon: someone get the guy a tradewind or open 70
[8:48] Surfwidow Beaumont: i almost run aground off ISHLON
[8:48] Isis Rexie: submarines and J-Class hit bottom fast
[8:48] Kirby Jameson: some shallow areas are good .. just like rl sailing .. if not careful, you run aground
[8:48] Tig Spijkers: omg, Jack doesn’t know what a J-Class is
[8:48] Jane Fossett: the boatsd need minimum of 4 m
[8:48] Chad Sawson: lol
[8:48] Clay Ellison: ?
[[Jack suggested that he wanted to see more shallow areas and shoals, so sailors had to learn where they are and avoid them like in RL]]
[8:49] Nber Medici: hehehe yes Jack !
[8:49] Quirky Torok: i have to agree with jack
[8:49] Blondin Linden:
[8:49] Tomm Kira: indeed jack, they are there in RL too lol
[8:49] Surfwidow Beaumont: it rights off lareg areas of water
[8:49] CallieDel Boa:
[8:49] MarkTwain White: Jack is evil
[8:49] Chad Sawson: woot! a new challenge
[8:49] Surfwidow Beaumont: writes*
[8:49] Nber Medici: I would love sand banks
[8:49] Jane Fossett: Michael will fix the trouble points.
[8:49] Rabby Hawker: you shoudl give us the opporunity to lay islands and homestedas around the blake sea to get the corners out under condition we keep thise simes open for the whole sl community tit will give us more room toi sail and fly
[8:49] jetplane1123 Hanly: all of the sea’s are shallow
[8:49] LauraAnne Sheridan: there are some wondfersubmarines in SL…but very hard to use in 5 meters of water
[8:49] Liv Leigh: not just in places, whereas the seas west of BS are 20m deep often, blake sea hovers around 10m.. which makes it hard for submarines or some sailing ships as well in many spots
[8:49] Chad Sawson: scuba areas too!
[8:49] jetplane1123 Hanly: have those already
[8:49] JimEd Nicholls: many areas ar eless than 4 m deep
[8:49] Surfwidow Beaumont: yes there is no shortage of land
[8:50] Surfwidow Beaumont: or air
[8:50] Surfwidow Beaumont: but there is a shortage of deep seas
[8:50] BennyThe Boozehound: personally I like that it is the way it is, requires some skill to avoid navigational hazzards…altho they could be marked better I think
[8:50] Blondin Linden: 10 Minute Heads Up
[8:50] Rabby Hawker: yes but with sailing ships you get stuck( out of the wind) ((
[8:50] Rabby Hawker: tty
[8:50] Blondin Linden: 8:28] Jane Fossett: “Thank you very much for your help placing Fastnet Light at the center of Blake. It meant a good deal to many sailors here. Do you see that as a single event, or do you envision more cooperation between DPW, Blake, and independent builders?
[8:51] Blondin Linden: If it makes sense and your keen on it, then we can talk about it. But the DPW is only a few people
[8:51] Orca Flotta: let’s have rocks and lighthouses in every BS sim
[8:51] Liv Leigh: shh orca!
[8:51] Blondin Linden: THe amount of their time we can have them spend, we need to be careful
[8:51] jetplane1123 Hanly: loll
[8:51] Surfwidow Beaumont: Giant Crab LOL
[8:51] Borday Moo: yes roving sea monsters
[8:51] Fanci Beebe: loll
[8:51] Jane Fossett: DPW has been great. Thank you.
[8:51] Tig Spijkers: someone explain to Jack that crabs do not eat ships
[8:51] jetplane1123 Hanly: Loll
[8:51] Chakku451 Rieko: Kraken…we need a Kraken
[8:51] Keira Linden: heheheh
[8:52] Clay Ellison: what is DPW?
[8:52] GaiaGirl Pearl: Thar be monsters!!
[8:52] jetplane1123 Hanly: Giant Crabs might
[8:52] Chad Sawson: lol
[8:52] Clay Ellison: YAY! (yay!)
[8:52] Keira Linden: Department of Public Works = DPW
[8:52] Blondin Linden: Department od Public WOrks
[8:52] LauraAnne Sheridan: Jack…we need to get you out from behind the desk and out flying and sailing with us…then youd see better what we need ?
[8:52] Blondin Linden: [8:36] Blackbird Latte: Blondin has Linden labs attempted to trace how many actual real life users have populated Blake sea compared to false population produced using alts? While everything may seem normal on the surface there has been too much social griefing preventing an honest racing platform which would attract more users.
[8:52] Surfwidow Beaumont: i think Doctor Who already did that one
[8:52] Sidney Sheldon: what about proper buoys instead of deeper waters
[8:52] Blondin Linden: We are aware of traffic scores
[8:52] Blondin Linden: WE have that data
[8:52] Blondin Linden: BS varies over times as you would expect
[8:53] Blondin Linden: Jack sees it when its quiet, hes from the UK
[8:53] Sidney Sheldon: what exactly is social griefing supposed to be?
[8:53] Blondin Linden:
[8:53] Gemma Vuckovic: come along a 4pm today, big boats Jack, busy busy
[8:53] Blondin Linden: But yes, we know how busy it is
[8:53] Blondin Linden: [8:41] Jean Swashbuckler: is there an opportunity to expand the CoC from the Blake Sea to the water sims around Nautilus City if the NC people are interested?
[8:54] Jean Swashbuckler: ty, we can bring it up with the Nautilus City Alliance which also works with the USS and the Bay City alliance
[8:55] Blondin Linden: If the Naut Residents thought it was important enough to treat their waters different, then we can have that convo.
[8:55] Jean Swashbuckler: on consensus
[8:55] Blondin Linden: Its difficult to get a concensus
[8:55] Blondin Linden: WEd need a CLEAR majority
[8:55] jetplane1123 Hanly: For aviators, we fly everywhere, and some of the difficult area’s to fly to are up North
[8:56] Sidney Sheldon: exactly
[8:56] cool joint whispers: blessed love
[8:56] Blondin Linden: [8:49] Aislin Keynes: Blondin, the relationship between LL and USS has been in place and in practice for many months, have there been any abuse reports from people feeling that they have been unfairly treated by those with authority in the Blake Sea?
[8:56] Blondin Linden: We dont generally talk about AR specifics
[8:56] Orca Flotta has problems with authorities period
[8:56] Quirky Torok: tc liv
[8:56] Liv Leigh: tc
[8:56] Isis Rexie whispers: bye Liv
[8:56] Blondin Linden: we’ve had almost no [[negative]] communications from people [[about those with authority in the Blake Sea]]
[8:57] Aislin Keynes: not looking for specifics, just does it appear to be a general problem?
[8:57] MarkTwain White: nber makes me work to hard AR
[8:57] Blondin Linden: its been very quiet
[8:57] Chad Sawson: Woot, USS ROCKS!
[8:57] LauraAnne Sheridan: one reason is cause were all doing what we like to do
[8:57] Nber Medici: LOL Mark
[8:57] Rabby Hawker: we just navigate past the [problem area's lol
[8:57] Blackbird Latte: Blondin you would have more if LL posted directly contacts for AR reports for general blake sea users other than key role players
[8:57] Chad Sawson: absolutely!
[8:57] Clay Ellison: yes all the time
[8:57] LauraAnne Sheridan: daily
[8:57] Athena Ellison: yes
[8:57] Ceorl Onlyone: HEAR HEAR!!!!!
[8:57] Slado Bellic: aye thats usually the rum thou mate
[8:58] Chakku451 Rieko: Daily
[8:58] Fanci Beebe: LOL… yes.. all the time
[8:58] JimEd Nicholls: yes. i do jack
[8:58] Glorfindel Arrow: heheh yeah
[8:58] Jane Fossett: smile
[8:58] Blondin Linden: how amazing is this?!
[8:58] Nber Medici: ?
[8:58] Clay Ellison: its an amazing thing
[8:58] Chad Sawson: if only in RL!
[8:58] LauraAnne Sheridan: but then I crash
[8:58] CallieDel Boa: I think that’s awesome, always have.
[8:58] Yawara Texan: me grins like an idiot
[8:58] Clay Ellison: and yes hard to expslain to coworkers
[8:58] Chad Sawson: we would all live in bliss
[8:58] GaiaGirl Pearl: I don’t have a ‘pinch’ animation
[8:58] Gemma Vuckovic: I sail with my friends, with disisme as well
[8:58] Orca Flotta: yeah, we’re nothing but a bunch of nutters
[8:58] Surfwidow Beaumont: it should happen more often P
[8:58] Blondin Linden: We often take SL for granted and how it works
[8:58] Clay Ellison: absolutly
[8:58] Rabby Hawker: It is geat you do this meeting Jack thank you veryu much
[8:58] jetplane1123 Hanly: adding more water North of USS would be good for both sailors/aviators
[8:58] Ceorl Onlyone: you would almost think we were all real or something
[8:58] Chakku451 Rieko: My girlfriend and I specifically rent space in an estate just for access to the Blake Sea environs
[8:58] Isis Rexie: Thank you Jack!
[8:59] Chad Sawson: and we appreciate LL’s support Jack.. Im sure all agree
[8:59] CallieDel Boa: Yes thank you Blondin & Jack.
[8:59] Surfwidow Beaumont: Blake Sea Parliment
[8:59] Isis Rexie: Thanks for Typing Blondin … I lost voice a while back
[8:59] Athena Ellison: Thanks Jack
[8:59] LauraAnne Sheridan: ty Jack
[[Jack indicates that the hour is up but that he will stay and chat for those who want to continue. Blondin has to leave. Many thank you's follow.]]
[[Several minutes of general chit-chat not related to the theme follow but no one transcribes Jacks comments.]]
[[Jack makes reference to the YouTube videos on SL sailing that have been shown throughout LL and to business partners]]
[9:04] Surfwidow Beaumont: is there any chance of hosting these meertings again from time to time it is very democratic and a lot is done very quickly
[9:04] Nber Medici: Kudos to Surf and Mark for making the vids !
[9:04] Clay Ellison: woot woot
[[Jack said he was open to regular townhall meetings with the SL sailing community]]
[9:06] MarkTwain White: outstandinig Jack
[9:06] Surfwidow Beaumont: even every 2 months
[9:06] Surfwidow Beaumont: it is very fair this
[9:06] MarkTwain White: <– gets out the calendar
[[Much of what follows are the text side of the post meeting discussion but without Jack's voice transcribed and thus very fragmented. Later Surfwidow Beaumount takes up the job of transcribing]]
[9:06] JimEd Nicholls: sim crossings are always an issue
[9:06] jetplane1123 Hanly: yes
[9:06] Sharptongue Chronisch: or due to neccessity-and anounce it..
[9:07] Isis Rexie: wishes blondin were still here to type
[9:07] Surfwidow Beaumont: can amyone trype fast
[9:07] Surfwidow Beaumont: they can relay what Jack says
[9:07] Isis Rexie: I can’t reset voice
[9:08] Sharptongue Chronisch: without the community you won’t exist, Jack!!
[9:08] MarkTwain White: who is a fst and accorate typer?
[9:08] jetplane1123 Hanly: hehe
[9:08] Surfwidow Beaumont: Jack says just keep talking to us
[9:08] Quirky Torok: thank you
[9:08] Dahlia Jayaram: I am on a sailing adventure, sailing (or trying to) the full SL world that is interconnected by water and have some question about expanding open waterways around choke points where properties meet the off-grid seas. Is LL open to exploring options and opportunities to find ways to open waterways around owned properties?
[9:08] Isis Rexie: Tell him I scream to him every time I face plant in the mud on a sim crossing!
[9:08] MarkTwain White: yes Dahlia is doing a good thing
[9:09] jetplane1123 Hanly: sim crossings are difficult
[9:09] Surfwidow Beaumont: jack says we do get people who suggest routes and where we can improve things we never expected sailing would be as successfull as it has been
[9:09] Keira Linden: Sorry, but I need to run off. Have a great day, everyone!
[9:09] Nber Medici: bye Keira
[9:09] JimEd Nicholls: t/y kiera
[9:09] MarkTwain White: thanks Keira
[9:09] MarkTwain White: bye
[9:09] Gemma Vuckovic: byeeeeeeee Kiera
[9:09] Nber Medici: thanks SO much
[9:09] Orca Flotta: bye Keira, thx
[9:09] Anu Daviau: c u Keira
[9:09] Chakku451 Rieko: Take care Keira
[9:09] LauraAnne Sheridan: are the grid monkeys aware how vitaly important smooth sim crosses are to both sailing and flying? and what can we residents do to help make them better?
[9:09] Sharptongue Chronisch: bye
[9:09] Surfwidow Beaumont: jack says as many people own their land its very hard for us to take their land to add more water
[9:09] JimEd Nicholls: what about sim crossings jack?
[9:10] jetplane1123 Hanly: sim crossings ys
[9:10] jetplane1123 Hanly: *yes
[9:10] Rabby Hawker: we would like to sai around continents
[9:10] Borday Moo: couls wind in SL be made consisten from server to server , a comprihensive wind plan ?
[9:10] Clay Ellison: they have gotten much better in my opinion
[9:10] Anu Daviau: they suck
[9:10] Sidney Sheldon: jack, it wasnt that hard to move a lot of people from land they own to zindra
[9:10] Dahlia Jayaram: Good. I’m chronicaling the choke points and passing a petition around for people who would like to express an interest in the open waterways.
[9:10] jetplane1123 Hanly: sim crossings for us aviators and sailors
[9:10] JimEd Nicholls: its chancy every time you cross a sim
[9:10] Dahlia Jayaram: Thanks Jack.
[9:10] GaiaGirl Pearl: rounding the Cape is easier than some sim crossings – the ship falls apart or gets stuck
[9:10] Sharptongue Chronisch: lool..yes…SIM CROSSINGS is bad, jetplanet^^
[9:10] jetplane1123 Hanly: are difficult to cross now days
[9:10] MarkTwain White: jack, can you comment on Tickets from the Blake sea and priority
[9:10] JimEd Nicholls: sometimes you run a 50% of crashing
[9:10] Rabby Hawker: it happens ofen thast you loose a ship there
[9:11] jetplane1123 Hanly: theres a 50/50 chance of crashing when sim crossing
[9:11] Anu Daviau: we need faster handshakes
[9:11] Surfwidow Beaumont: jack says we moved content we did not move people
[9:11] Sharptongue Chronisch: why not trying new servers on USS ?? hehe
[9:11] Surfwidow Beaumont: jack says we simply cannot change their parcelling especially if they have been there for years but sometimes resident are keen to alter land with us
[9:12] Surfwidow Beaumont: jack says sim crossings are difficult – we have to take all your assets and stuff you are sitting on and transfer it across to another server
[9:12] MarkTwain White: jack, can you comment on Tickets from the Blake sea and priority
[9:13] Sharptongue Chronisch: we even use 1 ARC sailing outfits..even WOMEN..but it’s still difficult
[9:13] Rabby Hawker: slowing down helps crossing a sim border
[9:13] jetplane1123 Hanly: and what you wear
[9:13] Martina Lewsey: I will send a ship to Jack so he can test the sim crossing issue
[9:13] Surfwidow Beaumont: Jack says – sim crossings are a difficult technical issue and it will get better and better and smoother over time
[9:13] GaiaGirl Pearl: technically it might be partly solved if adjoining sims were on the same server – which I know they’re not
[9:13] Sidney Sheldon: jack, how come sim borders got worse at about the same time that LLnet went live?
[9:13] Nber Medici: We have asked to be co located here
[9:13] LauraAnne Sheridan: open space sims share a server do they not?
[9:13] JimEd Nicholls: happy to take you sailing or flying jack so you can witness the prob 1st hand
[9:13] OUTLAW Acker: with an ARC under 500….. 85 m/s crossings are possible now
[9:14] Chad Sawson: colocated = servers at the same physical location
[9:14] Nber Medici: [9:12] MarkTwain White: jack, can you comment on Tickets from the Blake sea and priority
[9:14] Bea Woodget: Have to go….Thank you Jack, tc all. CU later
[9:14] Surfwidow Beaumont: Jack says – we do have a road map on how we want to evlove technically – one of the things is how do we make a sever handle larger spaces than they currently do – what servers do we need for that? these are changes we are making slowly over the next year or so/two
[9:14] Tomm Kira: i don’t think the sim crossings were meant to be discussed on this meeting, but i would like to see the answer on MarkTwain White’s question
[9:14] JimEd Nicholls: i usually dont even bother sailing or flying on weekends because of sim crossing problems
[9:15] Sharptongue Chronisch: nods, Jim
[9:15] Nber Medici: not AR’s , but tickets
[9:15] Surfwidow Beaumont: Jack Says – the concierge team are geared up to you guys they are not as good as we would like but you have priority all year around even during holidays
[9:15] Nber Medici: can you address that
[9:16] Tomm Kira: whats the difference of the blake sea and a “normal” linden area or any other private sim to give it priority?
[9:16] Surfwidow Beaumont: Jack says – those folks within the community blake does get priority
[9:16] Nber Medici: ty
[9:17] Tomm Kira: ok, that was what i wanted to hear thanx.
[9:17] Surfwidow Beaumont: /jack says events are easy to disrupt and blake is at risk but we are aware trouble can happen in these popular areas inc Linden Sandboxes etc
[9:17] Isis Rexie whispers: Thank you Surfwidow … I’ve recovered voice by crashing
[9:18] Ceorl Onlyone: One concern about plans I have heard about unmanned vehicles. I would like to suggest that we not add unmanned vehicles, such as ferries to Blake Sea, as they are a hazard to navigation, don’t give way, and don’t show up on the minimap/radar
[9:18] Clay Ellison: its a real treat
[9:18] Orca Flotta: still here
[9:18] LauraAnne Sheridan: good thing about the blake sea is most of us are always sitting down if there is a griefer
[9:18] Isis Rexie: We care Jack … Thank you for being here
[9:18] MarkTwain White: thanks for taking up the text broadcast Surf
[9:18] Surfwidow Beaumont: does anyone else need typed words?
[[9:18] GaiaGirl Pearl: you’re talking about our passion
[9:18] Sidney Sheldon: ceorl, a unmanned ferry would classify as “commercial vessel” in my eyes… those have ROW over sailboats in RL
[9:18] Clay Ellison: lol
[9:18] BennyThe Boozehound: heh
[9:19] Nber Medici: LOL
[9:19] Clay Ellison: blaine the train
[9:19] Sharptongue Chronisch: it gives you SENSE^^, hehe
[9:19] Ceorl Onlyone: ROW is based on least manuverable, not commercial value, and most unmanned vehicles seem empty to me
[9:20] MarkTwain White: yes
[9:20] Ceorl Onlyone: so what happens if an unmanned ferry is bearing down on a regatta?
[9:20] Dahlia Jayaram: I noticed the Inter Island Blimp service. I was facinated by it, but noticed that it only flies one leg of the few that it says it does. Is there more to come for the blimp service?
