[10:00 AM] Marion Sopwith (Marion698 Resident): tala:)
[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.
[10:01 AM] Christine Wolvie (ChrisWolvie Resident): Tala em!

[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.

Questions and support requests
Now – what general questions can we discuss here today? Where do our aquatics need help? If you wish to share here – please im me so that I can call on you
[10:12 AM] Lynnsea (Lynne Raven): I love the mermaid designs, so creative
[10:13 AM] Miranda Barrowstone: things like needing help with a tail, a new place that appeared, requests to make something etc tend to be popular topics
[10:14 AM] Miranda Barrowstone: if you need the stick you can im me for for it. we use a talking stick so others don’t talk over them.
[10:15 AM] Miranda Barrowstone: so anyone have any pressing mer related discussion?
[10:15 AM] Ohora Sessa (Cathy Jackson): I would like to talk about Weekly Wander please.
[10:15 AM] Miranda Barrowstone: that’ll be in promo
[10:15 AM] Miranda Barrowstone: I’ll add you after Matriarch
[10:16 AM] Miranda Barrowstone: okay I’m guessing no on tech support huh?
[10:16 AM] F??? ?? (Sapphira Franizzi): mrrrrrrrrp~
[10:16 AM] ?????? ??s???? (Neve Nebula): It’s not Tech support, so much, but it is important information.
[10:16 AM] Mer Matriarch (Matriarch Mermaid): huh?
[10:16 AM] Mer Matriarch (Matriarch Mermaid): scrolling
[10:16 AM] Miranda Barrowstone: go for it
[10:17 AM] Miranda Barrowstone: swim on up cheeky you have the stick
[10:17 AM] ?????? ??s???? (Neve Nebula): If you own Nemissa, I would advise you keep a copy of the box your tail came in. InWorld redeliveries are no longer available without sending a notecard to Aza directly to ask for a redelivery. If you bought on Marketplace, you should be able to redeliver like normal from the web.
[10:18 AM] Mer Matriarch (Matriarch Mermaid): cheeky is tech support!
[10:18 AM] ?????? ??s???? (Neve Nebula): The only places left in world to buy Nemissa now are my store region, and on The Mystic Realms Dire Water’s shopping mall area.
[10:18 AM] Miranda Barrowstone: lol
[10:18 AM] Mer Matriarch (Matriarch Mermaid): good 2 know
[10:18 AM] Miranda Barrowstone: aye
[10:18 AM] Miranda Barrowstone: yeah I hear mp goes down a bit
[10:19 AM] Miranda Barrowstone: anyone else have pressing questions/requests/discussion?
[10:19 AM] ?????? ??s???? (Neve Nebula): Marketplace is fine, there’s just no redelivery available in world 🙂
[10:19 AM] Mer Matriarch (Matriarch Mermaid): if u want to change texture tail and body – what is best approach?
[10:19 AM] Miranda Barrowstone: ah ok
[10:20 AM] Mer Matriarch (Matriarch Mermaid): people ask me
[10:20 AM] Nerissa (Killerwing Resident): That would depend on what tail and body you have.
[10:20 AM] ?????? ??s???? (Neve Nebula): It depends on the tail the person is wearing
[10:20 AM] Miranda Barrowstone: yeah I wouldn’t know that. any have the answer?
[10:20 AM] ?????? ??s???? (Neve Nebula): Most bodies these days are BOM
[10:20 AM] ?????? ??s???? (Neve Nebula): but some are still applier – you’d have to know which body and tail combination.
[10:20 AM] Mer Matriarch (Matriarch Mermaid): are there combo’s sold?
[10:21 AM] ?????? ??s???? (Neve Nebula): no
[10:21 AM] ?????? ??s???? (Neve Nebula): people buy bodies seperately
[10:21 AM] ?????? ??s???? (Neve Nebula): then buy tails seperately.
[10:21 AM] Mer Matriarch (Matriarch Mermaid): no i mean skin for tail and body
[10:21 AM] ?????? ??s???? (Neve Nebula): no
[10:21 AM] ?????? ??s???? (Neve Nebula): there’s no combos.
[10:21 AM] Mer Matriarch (Matriarch Mermaid): hate that word
[10:21 AM] Nerissa (Killerwing Resident): For bento tails that have an interchangeable texture like Nemissa and Riptide, all you need to do is drag the new texture on the tail while wearing it.
[10:21 AM] Mer Matriarch (Matriarch Mermaid): tyvm
[10:21 AM] ?????? ??s???? (Neve Nebula): I make coordinating items – a body fade and a tail applier, sold seperately.
[10:22 AM] Mer Matriarch (Matriarch Mermaid): kk ty
[10:22 AM] ?????? ??s???? (Neve Nebula): Nerissa – most creators for riptide are using a universal hud kit.
[10:22 AM] ?????? ??s???? (Neve Nebula): so no dragging, just a button click after scripting 🙂
[10:22 AM] Nerissa (Killerwing Resident): Oh, thought Riptide worked like Nemissa.
[10:22 AM] Miranda Barrowstone: since I have 6 speakers today I’m gonna bring us to promotions sooner
[10:22 AM] Mer Matriarch (Matriarch Mermaid): great
[10:23 AM] Nerissa (Killerwing Resident): As for the body, you’re basically going to have to try to find a skin that fits closely with the tail. That’s on you to do searching.
[10:23 AM] ?????? ??s???? (Neve Nebula): no no, alienwaves dev kit is being used by myself, Krature, Zen Child, and Misteria, as well as a bunch of other creators in the works.
[10:23 AM] Miranda Barrowstone: thank you for the info Cheeky
[10:23 AM] 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.
[10:24 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.
[10:24 AM] Mer Matriarch (Matriarch Mermaid): and hangout or partner
[10:24 AM] Miranda Barrowstone: You might also consider being a hang out.

[10:47 AM] Nerissa (Killerwing Resident): Tala everyone! I’d like to do some advertising for an RP sim. That sim is called Arendia. It’s a fantasy medieval RP sim that is quite detailed in terms of its lore.
The main reason I’m here to talk about Arendia is because I find it to be one of the best, if not the best RP sim for someone that wants to RP as a mermaid. There is a large amount of water space to navigate into.
[10:47 AM] Nerissa (Killerwing Resident): As I said, Arendia is a medieval fantasy RP sim that has its own website and a Discord for it. Arendia uses a dice roll system for the more focused combat and non-combat interactions. Personally I wasn’t sure what to think of it when I first joined it, but after being there for a while I really like the system because it uses multiple d6s. Also when you create your character sheet, you have points that you can allocate to specific stats, meaning even if you just start in Arendia, you’re not completely worthless/useless vs a veteran that has been around.
[10:47 AM] .: ???? s????????? ??p????? :. (spaceopal Resident): Do you have an ad board?
[10:47 AM] Nerissa (Killerwing Resident): I don’t think Arendia has an adboard.
[10:47 AM] Miranda Barrowstone: are children allowed?
[10:47 AM] Nerissa (Killerwing Resident): No.
[10:47 AM] Miranda Barrowstone: ok
[10:47 AM] Nerissa (Killerwing Resident): Along with random RP sessions there are scheduled events that can be suggested by players. Events range both from combat and non-combat stuff. Like for example there was last month a market event organized by the mers in Arendia and people could use their Charisma stats to try and haggle for cheaper prices and the sellers used their Willpower stat to decide if they would accept or not.
Another non-combat event that happened was a silly cheese chase that had contestants use their Strength or Acrobatics rolls to try and keep chasing their cheese roll that was rolling down steep terrain.\
[10:48 AM] Nerissa (Killerwing Resident): Oh, forgot to mention that in Arendia, mers can have a land form to go walk on land, so you’re not limited only to water.
[10:48 AM] Nerissa (Killerwing Resident): If you wanna ask more questions feel free to ask me. Otherwise here’s the SLURL to the Arendia sims: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Thiaria/115/178/2967
And here’s the link to their website: https://www.arendiasl.com
[10:49 AM] Persi (Persiphone Karu): What system are they using?
[10:49 AM] Persi (Persiphone Karu): Unity?
[10:49 AM] Nerissa (Killerwing Resident): No. It uses its own HUD system.
[10:50 AM] F??? ?? (Sapphira Franizzi): cool
[10:50 AM] Miranda Barrowstone: impressive
[10:50 AM] Persi (Persiphone Karu): Will be interesting to visit
[10:50 AM] Nerissa (Killerwing Resident): At the moment the sim has been suffering from a lull in activity, which I think is due to multiple new RP sims opening, hence why I’m doing some advertising. ^^;
[10:51 AM] Nerissa (Killerwing Resident): But when I looked at some of those other sims, I still think Arendia is the better one, ESPECIALLY as a mer.
[10:51 AM] Miranda Barrowstone: well see if you can talk them in to an adboard
[10:51 AM] Ohora Sessa (Cathy Jackson): Sounds cool
[10:52 AM] Miranda Barrowstone: thank you Nerissa and now, Persi
[10:52 AM] Nerissa (Killerwing Resident): I’ll try to pass on that suggestion about the adboard. But that’s basically all for me. Feel free to IM me for more questions.
[10:52 AM] Miranda Barrowstone: you have the stick
[10:52 AM] Persi (Persiphone Karu): Yes it takes a strong foundation in a group to keep a rp sim going
[10:54 AM] Marlin Aiden Marinea whispers: This youngin’ is ready to play!
[10:55 AM] Miranda Barrowstone: ooh Persi crashed
[10:56 AM] Miranda Barrowstone: okay antiquity has an rfl thing going called ACTS events

[10:59 AM] Mer Matriarch (Matriarch Mermaid) takes a mermaid nap!!
[10:59 AM] Miranda Barrowstone: do you at least want a blanky?
[10:59 AM] 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!!
