[10:14 AM] Clarence DeLeon (binghamton Resident): i had pressing questions. but i figured out how to iron :3
[10:14 AM] Grace (Matriarch Mermaid): the adboards work slowly – you have to go slow and follow directions – they are low cost and a good way to promote
[10:14 AM] ?????r???? (Roncia Resident): lol.
[10:14 AM] Tirea Naring (TsioSan Ruby): I am still looking for a few SITS that give me a “soft” tail…like the TALA one…to add to my other A)

[10:17 AM] Grace (Matriarch Mermaid): sorry to hear Phil
[10:17 AM] Grace (Matriarch Mermaid): if you’ll ask in chat at odd hours you’ll probably find someone who is using it with success

[10:17 AM] Miranda Barrowstone: li’ll scallywags only does old school tail animations but the other two might have more

[10:18 AM] Tirea Naring (TsioSan Ruby): Cool…Thank you for the advice

[10:19 AM] Clarence DeLeon (binghamton Resident): biggis might also was to demo the JOMO tail

[10:20 AM] Tirea Naring (TsioSan Ruby): It’s a bit confusing…that’s true
[10:20 AM] Grace (Matriarch Mermaid): easy to get confused in the learning stages
[10:20 AM] Sandie (Sandie Rau): I always rip out the animations and make an AO in my Firestorm viewer. lol
[10:20 AM] Miranda Barrowstone: did your question get answered?
[10:20 AM] Leena Xue: it doesnt work well if you try and drop it into Firestorm though
[10:20 AM] Grace (Matriarch Mermaid): see – already some are steppiing up to help
[10:20 AM] Grace (Matriarch Mermaid): Sandi – I’m attending regular firestorm classes and will learn how to do that soon

[10:30 AM] Miranda Barrowstone: Perks include helping the group and being allowed to post ads in the group chat twice a day. Add in the fact that anyone can ask for the stick and that is great exposure.
You might also consider being a hang out.

[10:33 AM] Miranda Barrowstone: I’ll answer the question then give you the stick
[10:33 AM] Grace (Matriarch Mermaid): furniture there are some good ones tho honestly I’m not most familiar with them myself

[10:34 AM] Miranda Barrowstone: I saw a great shop in the mall and it looks like you can put in your own animations
[10:34 AM] Grace (Matriarch Mermaid): I have a lot of mer furniture in inventory – if want to im me and I’m free we can look up creators

[10:34 AM] Miranda Barrowstone: alright Grace has the stick please keep banter minimum
[10:35 AM] ?????r???? (Roncia Resident): ? Thank Youuuuuuuuuu!! ?
[10:35 AM] Grace (Matriarch Mermaid): Greetings – so glad to see you all here.
I’m here more regularly now and have an assistant (Tabi) – info is in my profile if you have trouble locating me for SWF issues. SWF group owners are myself, EchoRayne Ayashi, and JustaChicky Goldshark. SWF is an industry group simply trying to keep the mer community alive and healthy – not to compete with the other sims but to stimulate their growth and provide support.
[10:35 AM] Miranda Barrowstone: otherwise I get confused and lost
[10:35 AM] Celtic Infinity claps for Grace
[10:35 AM] Grace (Matriarch Mermaid): The community stays alive, as we all know, when each of us gives are we are able. We have a smaller group called SWF Volunteers that receives calls for help when we need it. Becoming a member just means you’ll see the calls – totally up to each individual if/when/how they participate.
[10:35 AM] Grace (Matriarch Mermaid): Its easy to help around here. My favorite things to suggest right now is hang out here – get familiar with the most popular resources and give visitors tours and just help them – that is a concierge. Also can teach a regular class right here – we like traffic so people hopefully are reminded to check out our other resources (partner building has a teleport hub for instance). Classes/meetings can be very simple discussions if you want to understand something better
[10:36 AM] Grace (Matriarch Mermaid): and we have a mer calendar of course – can help you promote
[10:36 AM] Grace (Matriarch Mermaid): One of my regular rants is START RANT MODE: “don’t come here and be disappointed nothing is happening. it is YOU who need to create some happening and invite others to join you here. Our group is huge – in time you’ll have a following. Nobody is here to entertain you – we need to entertain each other! We all have something unique to share. END OF RANT
[10:36 AM] Grace (Matriarch Mermaid): If you’d like me to add you to the volunteer group – make room in your groups and approach me personally after this gathering – it is so much easier for me to add you if i can click on the real you.
[10:37 AM] Grace (Matriarch Mermaid): remembered I have scrambled brains from covid and senility
[10:37 AM] Tirea Naring (TsioSan Ruby): Miss Dana Enyo sends her love. On phone today and can’t come.
