We held the last player/staff meeting in early 2013.  (Transcript here.)  Since then, a lot has changed--a new website, an HRPT, all kinds of stuff.  We want to do another one of these meetings if possible.

I put up some dates that would probably work.  The day (Saturday) is chosen to accommodate the most players; the start time (between 5 and 6 pm) is chosen for the same reasons.  If you can't make it, there will be a transcript provided afterwards.

This would be a bit similar to last time, except we'd be using Teamspeak and the Staff Teamspeak server.  As before, it'll be pretty much a Q and A format, more of a panel.  Players ask questions, staff answer them, etc.  If there's time or a specific topic or something, we might can go over that, we'll see!  Vote and let us know which date works best.

Other stuff to keep in mind:


  • Check the GDB and docs before coming up with any questions you want to ask or things you want us to briefly discuss.  If it has already been asked and answered elsewhere, it might be best to ask something different.  If you are looking for clarification or elaboration beyond a specific response, you might want to reference it when asking so that we know what it is you want us to elaborate on.
  • With (possibly) a lot of attending players, that makes for (possibly) some of the same questions.  Have a couple of backup questions!

I wish we could vote for more than one day choice, ie, I'm available two of those Saturdays but it only let me pick one.

Late August works for me as I'm getting married in early August but that's neither here or there! If we can't attend can we submit discussion points to a pool? Not that they would even get chosen but...

I can be at any of those days. I'll just drag my laptop to work.

After checking around with staff as well, it looks like the 16th is the best date for this from the staff end.  I think we are going to end up going with that!

So how does this chat thing work? Do we access it via the client or do we access it in another way?

You would need to have Teamspeak.  We'll provide the address for it on the day of and open it up for everyone beforehand.

Do you kill your sparring partners once they are useless to you, so that you are king?

Is someone going to squirt HE WHO SHALL NOT BE NAMED with a water gun this time? Its long past due.

Masks are the Armageddon equivalent of Ed Hardy shirts.

May we pre-submit written questions if we're not going to be able to attend?

If not just give them to me and I'll ask them.


Will there be a log posted for those whose outdated laptops can't handle Teamspeak? :)

We will post a log, but you'll have to give us some time to transcribe it!

This was fun. Thank you guys!

I see there was a couple recordings going on, too. Is it possible to have those posted? I missed the last bit after my last question.

I still think the best closure you get in Armageddon is just moving on to the next character.

They said the recordings were over a gig or something, so they weren't going to post them directly.

Yeah, 1.6 GB file of raw audio, almost 2.5 hours long.  We probably could upload it somewhere, not sure where.

my favorite line to transcribe so far:

Dear Nyr - please edit my replies so that I sound less like a rambling douche. Thanks.

Youtube could work or even off Ginka.
