[12:01 PM] 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.
[12:01 PM] Alicia Alexandre: You missed Ray’s party trick
[12:01 PM] Miranda Barrowstone: oh?
[12:01 PM] 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.
[12:02 PM] Miranda Barrowstone: so how was yer week merfolk?
[12:02 PM] Evelyn Lancaster (In86a Resident): I recovered from Covid.

[12:03 PM] Miranda Barrowstone: what role?
[12:03 PM] Lily Lewellen: no idea yet, but will still envole art crating role within Disney.
[12:03 PM] Amadine Abonwood: I learned something interesting about dolphins.
[12:04 PM] Alicia Alexandre: Little Mermaid I bet
[12:04 PM] Lily Lewellen: *creating
[12:04 PM] Miranda Barrowstone: … you work for Disney?!
[12:04 PM] Miranda Barrowstone: holy smurf!
[12:04 PM] Alicia Alexandre: Tail texturer for Disney
[12:04 PM] Miranda Barrowstone: whad ya learn Ama?
[12:04 PM] Miranda Barrowstone: thats so cool
[12:04 PM] Lily Lewellen: I make textile designs and patterns printed into fabrics for costumes for allresorts and cruise lines and yes I have worked on Ariel
[12:04 PM] Alicia Alexandre: See, knew it
[12:05 PM] Tarrah Aphrodite: That is awesome 🙂
[12:05 PM] Evelyn Lancaster (In86a Resident): woooww!
[12:05 PM] Amadine Abonwood: I learned that dolphins say “hey!” by peeing into the water.
[12:05 PM] Lily Lewellen: I might go into a 3 printing shop or some other art role in the company
[12:05 PM] Alicia Alexandre: Lovely
[12:05 PM] Miranda Barrowstone: … that’s an interesting way to say hey..
[12:05 PM] Lily Lewellen: yummy
[12:05 PM] Lily Lewellen: XD
[12:06 PM] Miranda Barrowstone: I’ll admit I never tried it
[12:06 PM] Alicia Alexandre: Good
[12:06 PM] Amadine Abonwood: Yeah, well, it’s what the others do by swimming through it with their mouths opn that is a little ick. But apparently they communicate a lot through that ismple action.
[12:06 PM] Lily Lewellen: If we did that this whole place would be yellow
[12:06 PM] Philantis Texan: in that case! Hi Everyone!
[12:06 PM] Lily Lewellen: XD
[12:06 PM] Miranda Barrowstone: well hopefully your back will recover so it might be a good move
[12:06 PM] Tarrah Aphrodite: lol
[12:07 PM] Amadine Abonwood: But we also know that dolphins have sex for pleasure, so it probably has a lot to do with dictating if they are willing to interact, and what sort of fertility phase they may be in.
[12:07 PM] Philantis Texan: anyone have a salve for Scaly😛 Skin?
[12:07 PM] Miranda Barrowstone: eeew Phil there’s a gobi hut, use that

[12:32 PM] Tigermeat Aphrodite: Tala all!~<3 I’ve been toying with the idea of a group swim for some time, and I love to explore places on the grid that I wanted to share. A friend from the N-O Fishing community provided me with a HUD that provides waypoints for a little under sea tour I’ve been testing that’s finally ready for release. I wanted to ask the community if anyone would be interested and what days / times people might want to do them on?
If you have any ideas for locations you might want to design a tour around IM as well and I can see what we can work on :3
[12:32 PM] Evelyn Lancaster (In86a Resident): ^^
[12:32 PM] Miranda Barrowstone: i’ll have to check my notes
[12:32 PM] drákos (Kraken Darkheart): Its a bloody liability. keeps falling at times and its invisible

I think it’s better having a Talikng Stick rather than a Shushing Staff. [12:35 PM] Amadine Abonwood: There’s going to be a new Steam Hunt starting March 1st. It’s an “Around the World” theme, based on Jules Verne’s book. I’m a little behind making a gift, but I’m planning on something sea-themed. Anyway, I wanted to let everyone know there was going to be the grid hunt, as well as a merchant event, and I’ve seen a few mer-related items made by merchants in the past.

[12:40 PM] Alicia Alexandre: Surely only the Japanese get nosebleeds? [12:40 PM] Lily Lewellen giggles.

It seems to have a mind of its own. [12:50 PM] Alicia Alexandre: Delete everything out of the tail except the “Listener” script. [12:50 PM] Lily Lewellen: What’s it been doing? [12:50 PM] Tarrah Aphrodite: are you wearing a riptide? because the built in ao will make you nose dive with the tala unless you turn it off [12:50 PM] Miranda Barrowstone: I know it comes with a notecard… do you have it? [12:50 PM] drákos (Kraken Darkheart): or you turn off physics in the tala AO [12:50 PM] Miranda Barrowstone: oooh that’s right some tails do that [12:50 PM] Kimberly McBlaze Lemongrass (Kimberly Lemongrass): every now and then I would be swimming around, then it gets stuck on something, a red message pops up on the HUD, and I can’t move unless I turn the AO off then back on. [12:51 PM] Alicia Alexandre: make sure you have Fly turned off in your SL prefs and no other AO’s working. [12:51 PM] Tigermeat Aphrodite: You can try swimming up or down when stuck on objects to clear them. [12:51 PM] Tarrah Aphrodite: when i get that message, sometimes i just swim up a bit to get unstuck [12:51 PM] Lily Lewellen: oh invisble prim collision. Yeah turn off the physics then turn back on again [12:51 PM] Kimberly McBlaze Lemongrass (Kimberly Lemongrass): ah [12:52 PM] Kimberly McBlaze Lemongrass (Kimberly Lemongrass): I don’t have any other AOs on and I don’t have any AO scripts in my Riptide tail [12:52 PM] Tarrah Aphrodite: pesky invisi prims [12:52 PM] Philantis Texan: everyone attack that boat! [12:52 PM] Kimberly McBlaze Lemongrass (Kimberly Lemongrass): and sometimes it just wants to push me around when I’m idling [12:52 PM] Miranda Barrowstone: wait until I dismiss the meeting [12:52 PM] Alicia Alexandre: You could also try resetting the scripts [12:53 PM] Lily Lewellen: sometimes mesh items have a huge physics on it and some don’t relize it till the turn on the see mesh physics shape in features on build menu [12:53 PM] Kimberly McBlaze Lemongrass (Kimberly Lemongrass): ah [12:53 PM] Amadine Abonwood: Yeah, I need to check out that ri[tide. Is it a better tail than what I’ve got? [12:53 PM] Kimberly McBlaze Lemongrass (Kimberly Lemongrass): Riptide is amazing [12:54 PM] Rumi Liu (Aelynn Nayar): I’m wearing riptide.. I love it [12:54 PM] Tigermeat Aphrodite: Not better per se, just an option. ♥ [12:54 PM] Kimberly McBlaze Lemongrass (Kimberly Lemongrass): what I did with mine was… I combined the riptide tail with the nemissa fins [12:54 PM] Lily Lewellen: Riptide does have them most texture appliers atm [12:54 PM] Rumi Liu (Aelynn Nayar): and the HUGE amount of different colors affliates make [12:54 PM] Tigermeat Aphrodite: But keep in mind different mods come for different tails :3 [12:54 PM] Tarrah Aphrodite: I do love the riptide and there are so many mods for it [12:54 PM] Lily Lewellen: more poses made for it too [12:54 PM] Tigermeat Aphrodite: The Riptide due to both age and community favor has many more mods than most others. [12:54 PM] BenjaminButtonss Resident shouts: Talaaaa [12:55 PM] Kimberly McBlaze Lemongrass (Kimberly Lemongrass) shouts: Tala!!!!

[12:55 PM] Miranda Barrowstone: yeah if they had stuff for kids I’d be buying it too
[12:55 PM] Kimberly McBlaze Lemongrass (Kimberly Lemongrass) shouts: Long time no see, Sistergirl!
[12:55 PM] Miranda Barrowstone: ao problem answered?
[12:56 PM] Kimberly McBlaze Lemongrass (Kimberly Lemongrass): so basically, when it acts up, turn off physics. If it’s still problematic, reset scripts?
[12:56 PM] Tigermeat Aphrodite: Or delete scripts
[12:56 PM] Tigermeat Aphrodite: But yes :3
[12:56 PM] Kimberly McBlaze Lemongrass (Kimberly Lemongrass): ok, thanks y’all
[12:56 PM] Alicia Alexandre: But keep “Listener” or any applier such as alienwave you’ve added.
[12:56 PM] Kimberly McBlaze Lemongrass (Kimberly Lemongrass): right
[12:56 PM] Miranda Barrowstone: i’d be careful with that, if you don’t know what to delete
[12:57 PM] Kimberly McBlaze Lemongrass (Kimberly Lemongrass): I already got rid of the AO scripts from Riptide
[12:57 PM] Kimberly McBlaze Lemongrass (Kimberly Lemongrass): The only thing in there is the listener and alienwaves
[12:57 PM] Alicia Alexandre: 🙂
[12:58 PM] Alicia Alexandre: Sometimes, of course, it could just be SL screwing with you.
[12:58 PM] Kimberly McBlaze Lemongrass (Kimberly Lemongrass): true
[12:58 PM] Lily Lewellen: Also if you have the nemissa tail just drop in their pose script into the riptide
[12:59 PM] Miranda Barrowstone: okay it’s about that time so I’m gonna adjorn us. remember also that if you have more questions you can also ask in group. some one might have the answer
[12:59 PM] Kimberly McBlaze Lemongrass (Kimberly Lemongrass): I do have the Nemissa tail, but I don’t use it anymore since I have Riptide now, but I still maintain use of the Nemissa fins, as you can see.
[12:59 PM] Kimberly McBlaze Lemongrass (Kimberly Lemongrass): copy that
[12:59 PM] Lily Lewellen: yeah the pose script helps you with posing for pictures. ^^
[12:59 PM] Kimberly McBlaze Lemongrass (Kimberly Lemongrass): ah
[12:59 PM] Kimberly McBlaze Lemongrass (Kimberly Lemongrass): I’ll have to look into that

[12:59 PM] Miranda Barrowstone: This meeting is now adjourned. Remember our SWF goals:
- to assist those considering an underwater life
- to increase awareness in the general public that there is an underwater option
- to make mer resources (events, projects, groups, retailers, sims, designers) visible and easily accessible
- to assist, as possible, with the viability of mer resources so they may continue to be available to the community
- to promote the conservation of rl oceans, lakes and waterways and the nature that relies on them
Now go mingle and explore! Thanks for joining us this day!!
