[12:02 PM] Grace (Matriarch Mermaid): aquatic who ca’t type
[12:02 PM] Miranda Barrowstone: lol
[12:02 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.
[12:02 PM] Lunar Oddson (lunar Oddson): ok
[12:02 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.
[12:03 PM] Miranda Barrowstone: so how was yer week seafolk?

[12:17 PM] Grace (Matriarch Mermaid): where will our promotions have people landing?
[12:17 PM] Grey (CreatureComforts Resident): As a person who has been a part of real world gathering groups, I can attest to the issue of “If no one’s there, no one stays” for folks that show up… So having those folks sticking around for a bit inworld will hopefully help
[12:17 PM] ???? (Tabitha Sirensong): at our landing point
[12:17 PM] Grace (Matriarch Mermaid): gahhhhhh and where is our landing point please?

[12:23 PM] Miranda Barrowstone: okay swimming on.
[12:24 PM] Miranda Barrowstone: thank you for your question Grey
[12:24 PM] Miranda Barrowstone: Quick reminders/announcements
Ad boards are awesome because they can help newer merfolk and aquatics find places to swim. If you need mer traffic, please consider renting an ad board.
[12:24 PM] Miranda Barrowstone: Perks include helping the group and being allowed to post ads in the group chat twice per week. Add in the fact that anyone can ask for the stick and that is great exposure.
[12:24 PM] Miranda Barrowstone: You might also consider being a hang out.
[12:24 PM] Miranda Barrowstone: Be sure to visit the safe waters foundation web site and event calendar at https://swfsl.com/
please also remember to contact ???? (Tabitha Sirensong) if you have an event you want on the calender. she did send out a form I’ll pass it to you if you need it.

[12:27 PM] Grey (CreatureComforts Resident): ..now I wanna bonk…
[12:27 PM] Miranda Barrowstone: oh dear
[12:27 PM] Grey (CreatureComforts Resident): Tala all!
I’m Grey, owner of and creator for Creature Comforts, a growing shop for turning your human avatar into fantasy creatures such as merfolk, and driders.
Today, I would like to bring the news that Creature Comforts now offer a brand new tail– the one I’m wearing, in fact– Called the Wobbegong Mermaid Tail.
-It’s bento!
- It comes with 3 starting textures
- It’s Mod Friendly
- It’s rigged for the Legacy Athletic, Legacy Feminine, the eBODY, and if I’m able to correct some issues, the Gianni X
- It is also a MAIN ITEM, which means it will be serviced!
- it DOES NOT come with an AO. I’m using the TALA Bento, with the EEL add-on pack.
- It DOES NOT come with the texture I am currently wearing. That was made specially for the demo– but if people like it, I may offer it as a texture.
[12:27 PM] Grace (Matriarch Mermaid): bonk? sounds scary
[12:27 PM] Grace (Matriarch Mermaid) eeps.
[12:28 PM] Grace (Matriarch Mermaid): lovelly TAIL and texture
[12:28 PM] Grey (CreatureComforts Resident): You can find the Wobbegong at my store, where it is cheaper:: ?

[12:30 PM] Grace (Matriarch Mermaid): I can see now – Grey fixed my lighting!!! what a merman
[12:30 PM] Grey (CreatureComforts Resident): I may include for the Lara if I get enough interest… However, I reduced the amount of bodies I offer due to my access to time, as more bodies means more work, more fighting with Avastar, etc.
