[10:01 AM] Miranda Barrowstone: Safe waters foundation (SWF) is a not-for-profit group supporting the development of harmony and safety for merfolk and aquatics of second life, we bring together designers, retailers, sims, merrow, mermen, mermaids, siren, aquatics and lovers of same.
[10:01 AM] Miranda Barrowstone: People seem to arrive late and depart early. Please don’t be offended but as leader I will try to keep the meeting going. We don’t repeat things for latecomers – a log is posted on our blog after the meeting. This is not a place for public debate – this is a helpful place. we all help each other slive an aquatic lifestyle.
[10:02 AM] Miranda Barrowstone: Because we usually have good attendance – please take a moment to remove all extra attachments and huds. We’d like you to dress low lag. Big poofy hair and jewelry are big culprits, as are bubbles, script things, huds, and such. If we all cooperate, more merfolk can participate with less crashing. Thank you for your help with this.
[10:03 AM] Grace (Matriarch Mermaid): even if huds are off the cause problems right?

[10:19 AM] Grace (Matriarch Mermaid): it does sometimes
[10:19 AM] Kimberly McBlaze Lemongrass (Kimberly Lemongrass): ok, so I have 3 questions
[10:19 AM] Kimberly McBlaze Lemongrass (Kimberly Lemongrass): first of all, I notice that some folks use words like “tala” and I kinda figured out what that meant, but is there a glossary of all the mer words used or even a translator to speak in mer?
[10:19 AM] Kimberly McBlaze Lemongrass (Kimberly Lemongrass): second question: what are some of the popular mer places one can go to and explore?
[10:19 AM] Grace (Matriarch Mermaid): there are somepeople into the language
[10:19 AM] Grace (Matriarch Mermaid): ask in chat at odd times
[10:19 AM] Kimberly McBlaze Lemongrass (Kimberly Lemongrass): third question: what are the things a new mer should know about in general?
[10:19 AM] Grace (Matriarch Mermaid): you are bound to discover them
[10:19 AM] Grace (Matriarch Mermaid): I think they made new translator recently?
[10:19 AM] Miranda Barrowstone: we should have the nc hang on
[10:20 AM] Grace (Matriarch Mermaid): everyone has different fascinations
[10:20 AM] F??? ?? (Sapphira Franizzi): re: mermish, I need to look back at the meeting notes for a few weeks ago
[10:20 AM] F??? ?? (Sapphira Franizzi): someone said they were working on a mermish dictionary
[10:20 AM] F??? ?? (Sapphira Franizzi): but I dozed off
[10:20 AM] Kimberly McBlaze Lemongrass (Kimberly Lemongrass) received your inventory offer.
[10:20 AM] Kimberly McBlaze Lemongrass (Kimberly Lemongrass) received your inventory offer.
[10:20 AM] Leslie Larwyck-Beaumont (Leslie Beaumont): Miss Leslie thinks that all mermaids should look at a picture of the actual Little Mermaid statue…
[10:20 AM] drákos (Kraken Darkheart): I just sent a Mermish NC to Kim that I had compiled for some time
[10:21 AM] Kimberly McBlaze Lemongrass (Kimberly Lemongrass) received your inventory offer.
[10:21 AM] Grace (Matriarch Mermaid) throws a blanket over Leslie
[10:21 AM] F??? ?? (Sapphira Franizzi): mermish is tricky. there are maybe a few different ones
[10:21 AM] Kimberly McBlaze Lemongrass (Kimberly Lemongrass): thank you all for the notecards and gestures
[10:21 AM] Leslie Larwyck-Beaumont (Leslie Beaumont) giggles and evades
[10:21 AM] F??? ?? (Sapphira Franizzi): I wrote a free mermish generator which generates mermish-sounding stuff
[10:21 AM] Kimberly McBlaze Lemongrass (Kimberly Lemongrass): oh, cool
10:22 AM: Sapphira Franizzi: tala, to osa fan Fina
[10:22 AM] ? Matticus Merrow ? (Matticus Merrow): yes fina! i loved that generator you made
[10:22 AM] F??? ?? (Sapphira Franizzi): but it isn’t a complete dictionary, it just throws together different syllables
[10:22 AM] Kimberly McBlaze Lemongrass (Kimberly Lemongrass): ah, ok, got’cha
[10:23 AM] Grace (Matriarch Mermaid): the are a few who researched in depth
[10:23 AM] Grace (Matriarch Mermaid): and announced here recently
[10:23 AM] Grace (Matriarch Mermaid): to me its a little funny
[10:23 AM] F??? ?? (Sapphira Franizzi): I should ask them for their dictionaries and update the mermish hud with those
[10:23 AM] Grace (Matriarch Mermaid): since it is all …… imaginary
[10:23 AM] F??? ?? (Sapphira Franizzi): it is
[10:23 AM] Kimberly McBlaze Lemongrass (Kimberly Lemongrass): got’cha
[10:23 AM] Tirea Naring (TsioSan Ruby): I have the PDF from last time…but not the NC…the PDF is pretty big.
[10:23 AM] F??? ?? (Sapphira Franizzi): and mermish is not well fleshed out, unlike other conlangs (constructed languages)
[10:24 AM] F??? ?? (Sapphira Franizzi): like elvish or klingon
[10:24 AM] drákos (Kraken Darkheart): Imaginary? There actually is Mermish spoken by Merfolk 🙂 Real Merfolk
[10:24 AM] Kimberly McBlaze Lemongrass (Kimberly Lemongrass): and even klingon is incomplete, from what I understand
[10:24 AM] F??? ?? (Sapphira Franizzi) reaches out a paw for drakos’s NC
[10:24 AM] Grace (Matriarch Mermaid): of course
[10:24 AM] Grace (Matriarch Mermaid) facepalms
[10:24 AM] F??? ?? (Sapphira Franizzi): well mermish is a constructed language
[10:25 AM] F??? ?? (Sapphira Franizzi): meaning it is not a real language
[10:25 AM] F??? ?? (Sapphira Franizzi): and its vocab is very limited
[10:25 AM] Kimberly McBlaze Lemongrass (Kimberly Lemongrass): right, I figured
[10:25 AM] Kimberly McBlaze Lemongrass (Kimberly Lemongrass): it’s still fun though
[10:26 AM] Miranda Barrowstone: were we able to answer the questions?
[10:26 AM] F??? ?? (Sapphira Franizzi): of course
[10:26 AM] F??? ?? (Sapphira Franizzi): I meant of course as in of course it’s fun
[10:27 AM] Kimberly McBlaze Lemongrass (Kimberly Lemongrass): when it comes to mermish, yes, but i think my other questions got buried. But basically, I’m also looking for landmarks to popular mer places and also general info that every new mer should know about.
[10:28 AM] F??? ?? (Sapphira Franizzi): re: general info, there really isn’t any. there are no set rules that SL mer follow, except those specific to certain RP sims
[10:28 AM] Miranda Barrowstone: well I can pass you a landmarks. grace where is the hang out list?
[10:28 AM] Kimberly McBlaze Lemongrass (Kimberly Lemongrass): ah, ok, got’cha
[10:28 AM] Grace (Matriarch Mermaid): should be in the kiosk sign
[10:28 AM] F??? ?? (Sapphira Franizzi): I’m a mercat and most weeks I’m too lazy to change out of my regular cat form
[10:28 AM] Leslie Larwyck-Beaumont (Leslie Beaumont): In some merplaces I have to wear a *top*…pouts
[10:28 AM] F??? ?? (Sapphira Franizzi): one thing I can think of is yeah that
[10:29 AM] Munin (Darm Yaffle) whispers, “she’s a cat fish….”
[10:29 AM] Grace (Matriarch Mermaid): the big sign that is on the welcome wall – click onthe hangouts and you get a great …… also there are teleports to them in the stained glass building with the tp hub
[10:29 AM] Kimberly McBlaze Lemongrass (Kimberly Lemongrass): got’cha
[10:29 AM] F??? ?? (Sapphira Franizzi): I’d say be respectful of individual sim rules, and some sims might say oh you can’t be topless
[10:29 AM] F??? ?? (Sapphira Franizzi): but I think a mer would be wrong if they make a fuss about it and say “oh it’s my personal freedom” etc
[10:30 AM] Leslie Larwyck-Beaumont (Leslie Beaumont): sulks (does believe in manners and makes sure what rules are 🙂
[10:30 AM] Kimberly McBlaze Lemongrass (Kimberly Lemongrass): i, by default, have a top on, so I shouldn’t have much to worry about
[10:30 AM] Miranda Barrowstone: but I’m not sure where the kiosl sign is
[10:30 AM] F??? ?? (Sapphira Franizzi): (and yes I’ve seen this happen)
[10:30 AM] Miranda Barrowstone: ok
[10:30 AM] Kimberly McBlaze Lemongrass (Kimberly Lemongrass): I think that about covers everything, I don’t have any further questions at this time.
[10:31 AM] Miranda Barrowstone: okay wqe shall swim on then ?
[10:31 AM] Miranda Barrowstone: Thank you for your questions.
