Emm posted an update
Short summary of Cosmic Andy's VZones Q&A
The biggest discussion was about the radio show time slot. Many players wanted scheduled games to run during the radio show so people who don’t attend would still have something to do. Andy said he wants to protect the radio show as a community gathering and worries that official games would reduce attendance and eventually kill the show. However, he clarified that unofficial games are allowed during the radio show, but they can’t be scheduled, broadcast, or use official prizes.
Main outcomes and promises
- ✅ Game Dome teleporter was the most popular community request and was officially noted.
- ✅ 100% pawning was also requested, and Andy said both the teleporter and 100% pawning would be done on Monday.
- ✅ Capacity for TST Elevator 3 (Relics area) will be increased so turf owners can access their turfs more easily during busy times.
- ✅ More London turf/locale content is planned for June.
- ✅ Andy agreed that new games are important and is exploring acquiring source code for older games so VZones can maintain and expand them.
- ✅ Classic drop hunts (fuzzies, foxes, etc.) were discussed and noted as something players would like to see return.
Staff/Guide discussion
Many members asked about bringing back Guides, Acolytes, or staff helpers. Andy strongly opposed restoring the old staff structure, saying past staff power struggles caused major problems and that most old staff duties are now automated. He encouraged players to help newcomers through the Welcomers group instead.
Other points
- Players requested more decorating items, avatar slots, better support for newcomers, and easier ways to escape mazes.
- Andy said VZones development is still heavily focused on the future cloud/web version.
- He encouraged members to submit support tickets for suggestions and unresolved issues.
Overall: The meeting was largely positive. The community strongly backed a Game Dome teleporter, unofficial games during radio-show hours were clarified as allowed, and Andy committed to several small but popular quality-of-life improvements.

11:56:57 AM | XieToo: oy
11:56:57 AM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: I’m not keen on a change in format to the radio show schedule as it’s something rare that we are very lucky to have with great hosts.
11:56:57 AM | Poppy: would like games
11:56:57 AM | Heidia: ghosting lol
12:00:21 PM | Sometimes: Well it’s not really fair to those of us who are here for games
12:00:21 PM | PetMePlease: I love radio show.. Im not gonna say I always sit here for 2 hrs, but I do like the socialization
12:00:21 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: If that stops we have no one to step in and do it which would be sad

12:00:21 PM | Sometimes: Just that games are allowed as well

12:00:21 PM | Sometimes: Same
12:00:21 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: The original point of no other games during the show was so that it’s a community come together rather than alts sat in with the tunes on while gaming in another.
12:00:21 PM | beannie: you could be cleasing your turf and listen
12:00:21 PM | Sometimes: Well those that attend can continue
12:00:21 PM | Sometimes: Its just leaving the rest of the community that doesn’t pertake with nothing to do
12:00:21 PM | Gaia: cleansing turfs? Pfffft who does that just throw it in there and leave LMAO <react><react>
12:00:21 PM | LM: who do i ask for another spot on my avie to add necklace

12:00:21 PM | Madame Titzenass: popcorn vendo needed in here
12:00:21 PM | Sometimes: Just that the rest of us can game
12:00:21 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: Unofficial game could be hosted at the same time. Just can’t be on schedule or official prizes
12:00:21 PM | Lady Devra: bahahahaha @ vendo
12:00:21 PM | Gaia: VALIUM vendo needed in here LMAO <react><react>
12:00:21 PM | beannie: what sense does that make ? <shrug>
12:00:21 PM | Sometimes: Well I’m not bothered about prizes but can it be broadcast
12:00:21 PM | LM: thats dumb
12:00:21 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: Sometimes you could open up your turf and do underground game hosting during it
12:00:21 PM | beannie: Hugs Polly <wave>
12:00:21 PM | Sometimes: Yes I don;t really see how not having on sch makes sense
12:00:21 PM | Poppy: me either
12:00:21 PM | miracle: it dont
12:00:21 PM | Sometimes: I am not a host
12:00:27 PM | Rileigh: I agree
12:00:27 PM | Sometimes: This is Elas Alt
12:00:27 PM | Mikey: cant we take a vote on games being allowed while radio show is on?
12:00:27 PM | Rileigh: it’s stupid
12:00:32 PM | XieToo: but Andy… if people are asking for a change… why can’t you just give it a try?
12:00:48 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: Because it’s not something we can go back on
12:00:48 PM | Emm: ill make something of the log after the radio
12:00:53 PM | Sometimes: How?
12:00:58 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: If the radio show ends that’s it
12:01:09 PM | Sometimes: Nobody wants it to end though
12:01:09 PM | miracle: we dont want it to END
12:01:09 PM | XieToo: no one said to end it
12:01:09 PM | Rileigh: we aren’t asking for it to end
12:01:14 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: No one else is going to host it and be that good or regular.
12:01:19 PM | Sometimes: Nobody wants it to end
12:01:25 PM | PetMePlease: Andy said U can have unofficial games during Radio Show
12:01:25 PM | Rileigh: the only difference is, we’d have something to do if we don’t want to go to the radio show
12:01:30 PM | LM: thats favoring the radio
12:01:35 PM | Lady Devra: offs
12:01:35 PM | miracle: agree
12:01:40 PM | Gaia: J wants to host so why are we talking about no one else wants to do it
12:01:46 PM | Poppy: yup
12:01:56 PM | Emm: become a co-host on the radio
12:02:01 PM | Lyliana: simple: do things you want to in here, don’t do things you don’t care for <shrug>
12:02:07 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: Yeah i understand but if games are on you run the risk of alts playing and the radio show being less of a community gathering and just alts listening. Hosts get bored and show stops. No turning back.
12:02:22 PM | Emm: double loss
12:02:43 PM | Gaia: i would host with J or not listeners or no i think there are others who would also<shrug>
12:02:49 PM | Sometimes: Well that is favouring the radioshow and leaving the rest of us with nothing to do,
12:02:49 PM | Emm: besides there are so many mt spots on the schedule
12:02:54 PM | XieToo: So…. why does the radio show get favored ?
12:02:54 PM | Fritz: well
12:02:54 PM | Mikey: have you been to radio show lately andy?
12:02:54 PM | Gaia: i just want the two hour show to continue
12:03:15 PM | Tuli: yeah dont mess with that
12:03:20 PM | Sometimes: There you go Andy Gaia would be happy to host radio too if J has any issues
12:03:20 PM | Lyliana: go do something in RW if there’s nothing in here you want to do
12:03:30 PM | Gaia: i don’t want to take anything away from J
12:03:30 PM | Gaia: he is awesome
12:03:30 PM | Emm: we talking 4 out of 168 hours
12:03:36 PM | Fritz: I can’t say much about radio show because I’m deaf but I can see where this going
12:03:36 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: Some favouring yes because it’s 4 hours out of an entire week
12:03:41 PM | Gaia: but i would not want to see the show stopped
12:03:46 PM | beannie: there are no alternates
12:03:57 PM | PetMePlease: Radio Stays I Vote Yes
12:04:02 PM | Gaia: YES
12:04:02 PM | miracle: no one said to stop the show
12:04:07 PM | Sometimes: Nobody said to stop the show
12:04:07 PM | XieToo: I don’t understand why people are complaining if they like and want to go to radio show… they still can
12:04:12 PM | Lyliana: don’t take things away from others just cuz you don’t care for it
12:04:18 PM | Fritz: dp yjrtrgptr zo jsbr mp dsu om yjod
12:04:23 PM | Lady Devra: ffs people – slap around those than run the radio show much?
12:04:23 PM | Rileigh: No one said to stop the radio show
12:04:23 PM | Sometimes: Nobody is trying to take away the radioshow
12:04:23 PM | XieToo: but OTHERS will have the option to do what they would like to do also
12:04:23 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: We also don’t have anyone willing to take over it so some favouring is required and the hosts should be looked after.
12:04:23 PM | Rileigh: geez
12:04:23 PM | Poppy: good greif
12:04:28 PM | Poppy: read
12:04:33 PM | Sometimes: We’ve said this repeatedly now
12:04:33 PM | Fritz: OH MY GOODNESS LMAO
12:04:39 PM | Poppy: no one ever said to stop it
12:04:39 PM | Rileigh: you have a lot of ppl that would be willing to take over
12:04:44 PM | Suzie: hugs sis
12:04:49 PM | miracle: mhmmm
12:04:49 PM | PetMePlease: then let it be 2 hrs of just music and reaxation
12:04:54 PM | Sometimes: Gaia literally just said she would
12:04:54 PM | Rileigh: but no one said STOP the show
12:04:54 PM | Gaia: J is perfect though
12:04:54 PM | ESP to Gaia: make the crying stop lol
12:05:00 PM | beannie: interpretation please: dp yjrtrgptr zo jsbr mp dsu om yjod
12:05:00 PM | Madame Titzenass: shouldnt J be here if we are discussing this
12:05:00 PM | Gaia: he does a great job
12:05:05 PM | Luke: there shooulld be a choice not forced
12:05:05 PM | Rileigh: we said give the ppl that never go something to do
12:05:10 PM | Sometimes: Exactly
12:05:15 PM | Fritz: meant to say…. i have nothing against these radio show, I just don’t go there
12:05:21 PM | Suzie: there you go
12:05:21 PM | Suzie: nice spot
12:05:26 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: Gaia is willing to host another radio show?
12:05:31 PM | Gaia: no
12:05:36 PM | Gaia: i just don’t want the show to stop
12:05:36 PM | Sometimes: No, she said if J doesn;t want to do it
12:05:42 PM | Juliet: i had to reload graphics so didn’t see everyone at first
12:05:42 PM | PetMePlease: I dont go to Raffle but I dont want it a game at that time
12:05:42 PM | Gaia: i would be willing to do whatever it takes
12:05:47 PM | miracle: no one asked to take radio show away, just schedule across from it<shrug>
12:05:47 PM | Lyliana: keep things in here, if someone doesn’t like it, it is there responsibility to do something else
12:05:52 PM | beannie: same effect as a Stop The Bus – two hour game
12:06:13 PM | beannie: play or shut up <shrug>
12:06:13 PM | Emm: be back in an hour, i’ll read the TLDR;
12:06:13 PM | PetMePlease: LOL
12:06:13 PM | Sometimes: No, people can put a game on during that
12:06:13 PM | miracle: not same
12:06:13 PM | Lady Devra: AMEN!
12:06:13 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: But remember anyone can open a turf and host in that 2 hour window. It’s just unofficial
12:06:18 PM | XieToo: personally I don’t go to the radio show because I got tired of seeing the same ol same ol conversations with “Puff Puff Pass” and the handouts aren’t like years ago <I know others that feel the same>
12:06:18 PM | miracle: you are allowed to cross host a game if you dont want to play STB
12:06:18 PM | miracle: its not the same
12:06:34 PM | Sometimes: Exactly not the same at all
12:06:34 PM | Rileigh: *sits on hands*
12:06:39 PM | PetMePlease: Gaia U host those 2 hrs in ur turf
12:06:44 PM | beannie: unofficial = meaning what it’s not on the schedule ?
12:06:49 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: Right
12:06:55 PM | Gaia: if we have J why would I though thats the point
12:06:55 PM | Gaia: J is great i think
12:07:00 PM | Sometimes: So can the host broadcast they are doing an impromtu game
12:07:00 PM | Gaia: i don’t think he will leave
12:07:05 PM | miracle: newp
12:07:05 PM | beannie: unofficial same as impromptu ?
12:07:10 PM | Sometimes: Otherwise we have no way of knowing
12:07:10 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: But you can post on fb, news, walk around and people who want to play during the show would soon know you host it 4 hours a week
12:07:10 PM | miracle: just distraction and time wasted<shrug>
12:07:21 PM | Gaia: to be honest
12:07:26 PM | PetMePlease: Unofficial as in Not on Schedule
12:07:31 PM | Gaia: i listen to music and videos while playing games anyway
12:07:37 PM | beannie: True
12:07:37 PM | Gaia: Many do!!!!
12:07:55 PM | Gaia: its why we miss the spins
12:07:55 PM | Gaia: sometimes
12:07:55 PM | Lyliana: you can’t please everyone, people need to be responsible for their own happiness
12:07:55 PM | Gaia: others it lags
12:08:01 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: Yeah but we don’t want a live radio show with people doing it to become an automated thing where you listen and game
12:08:06 PM | Sometimes: Right, which is why we are here asking to play games
12:08:11 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: Otherwise you could just stream the radio
12:08:21 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: So it has to be something special
12:08:21 PM | Tuli: def true Lyd
12:08:21 PM | Gaia: i do anyway andy
12:08:27 PM | Gaia: i also listen to something while gaming
12:08:32 PM | Sometimes: I suspect a lot of people have the tv on and are doing other things when the radioshow is on anyway
12:08:32 PM | XieToo: So… a question… If someone else wants to do a game/chat whatever for a couple hours weekly with special prizes, do they get to be the only one on the schedule during a time slot?
12:08:32 PM | Gaia: exactly
12:08:37 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: sure yeah
12:08:48 PM | PetMePlease: this whole place could be a distraction and time waste.. It depends what Ur into ..<shrug>
12:08:48 PM | LM: then cut it to a hour
12:08:53 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: but it’s different to sorting your marbles
12:09:24 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: Why dont you try unofficial?
12:09:29 PM | Gaia: i have no trouble gaming and listening to other things at age 69 i know some would
12:09:29 PM | Sometimes: I don’t see how
12:09:35 PM | Sometimes: Can it be broadcast
12:09:35 PM | Fritz: marbles? hahaha
12:09:45 PM | Dani: oops sorry
12:09:45 PM | Mikey: Andy?
12:09:50 PM | beannie: everyone in here has a generally set number of hours they can play <shrug> they are not the same as others
12:10:06 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: Can’t broadcast as it’s not official but you advertise by posting on fb, news, walking around adverts etc
12:10:11 PM | Mikey: how about a After dark Adult radio show?
12:10:16 PM | PetMePlease: i think prizes suck and thats a big reason ppl dont like radio.. on Event days, U cant get a fuckin seat
12:10:16 PM | Sometimes: Right, so games ARE allowed during the show
12:10:37 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: Mikey you need to speak to the hosts
12:10:42 PM | beannie: you gonna offer to do it Mikey?
12:10:48 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: Sometimes, unofficial games anytime yes
12:10:53 PM | LM: yuck
12:11:03 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: Any other questions?
12:11:14 PM | Sometimes: And the host can’t give out offical prizes or put it on schedule
12:11:19 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: This Q&A session is for you guys to ask any questions & 15 minutes before the end I want you all to agree on one things you would like to see added/updated/completed by VZones in June.
12:11:19 PM | Gaia: You can post a youtube live radio show
12:11:19 PM | PetMePlease: Why did VIP Paints change?
12:11:24 PM | Mikey: i am sure i could if someone explains whats involved

12:11:30 PM | Gaia: for talk radio
12:11:40 PM | beannie: We all have to agree on (1) One Item to change
12:11:40 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: Sometimes if it’s unofficial they can’t use schedule or broadcast or prizes
12:11:45 PM | Gaia: Teleporter at Game dome!!!!
12:11:50 PM | Tuli: just the Game Dome Teleporter
12:11:50 PM | Sometimes: Offical prizes or anything at all?
12:11:56 PM | Poppy: teleporters

12:12:53 PM | Tuli: yay for the noted teleporter
12:12:53 PM | Gaia: much needed saves tired fingers LOL
12:12:59 PM | Autumn: lol
12:13:04 PM | Berkley: there is only 3 slots
12:13:04 PM | Gaia: click click click click
12:13:09 PM | Sometimes: So can they give out anything at the impromtu games
12:13:09 PM | Lady Devra: that is not a slot on avie thing
12:13:14 PM | Lady Devra: cant be changed
12:13:20 PM | Fritz: well I know there are only 10 maximum teleporters in one world
12:13:25 PM | beannie: I just don’t wear clothes that take off my sunglasses
12:13:30 PM | Gracie: Another slot would be useful as I can’t wear necklace with this body or some others.
12:13:30 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: Sometimes are you asking about unofficial game?
12:13:35 PM | Sometimes: Yes I am asking about that
12:13:56 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: 4th slot very complex and wouldnt need lot of investment in dev and artists
12:14:01 PM | Gracie: ok
12:14:07 PM | beannie: Will Impromptu Games have same prizes as regular games ?
12:14:27 PM | Sometimes: Can the hosts give out their own things, like Gia does?
12:14:33 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: beannie are you talking about unofficial games?
12:14:38 PM | PetMePlease: I believe so
12:14:38 PM | Gaia: anyone can give anyone else anything already
12:14:38 PM | beannie: Or are the Host responsible to come up with their own prizes to give out?
12:14:43 PM | beannie: yes sir
12:14:48 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: Sometimes yes an unoffical game you can give away anything you want
12:14:48 PM | Sometimes: Well yes but I want to double check
12:14:59 PM | Sometimes: Right ok, so games are allowed, own prizes and not on sched
12:15:04 PM | beannie: but will management provide prizes – I guess is the question?
12:15:09 PM | Sometimes: Ok just wanted clarification
12:15:15 PM | PetMePlease: uh huh
12:15:20 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: beannie if it’s unofficial and you own the items (not given as official game prizes) then you can give away anything
12:15:35 PM | miracle: unofficial you give personal prizes normally
12:15:46 PM | Luke: so the answer is no
12:15:51 PM | Gaia: Gia gets donations to help with giveaways
12:15:51 PM | Lyliana: LOL great name Sometimes
12:15:56 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: Have you guys never been to one of Emm’s private slingo gaming nights????
12:15:56 PM | Fritz: yeah just like if you want to host in your own turf or on the street, with your own prizes
12:15:56 PM | Gaia: its a great thing community wise
12:15:56 PM | Madame Titzenass: plenty prizes to buy in host area of prize place
12:16:07 PM | Sometimes: Thanks
12:16:24 PM | beannie: What about a donation shop with a room of items that can be used as impromptu game prizes
12:16:40 PM | Sometimes: Yeah one of us could take donations and get them to the hosts or something
12:16:45 PM | PetMePlease: I am sure we all have many things to give as prizes
12:16:56 PM | Gaia: Gia already asks for donations to help and gets them regularly
12:16:56 PM | Fritz: that too
12:16:56 PM | Gaia: its an easy thing to do
12:17:01 PM | Gaia: many want to help
12:17:06 PM | Sometimes: Ok
12:17:17 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: @beannie need to be clear on the difference between impromtu game an unofficial
12:17:22 PM | Sometimes: Well as we’ve lost slingo to this hour hopefully someone might do an impromptu next hour
12:17:37 PM | PetMePlease: or make it a donation game and winner gets the Tokens <shrug>
12:17:48 PM | PetMePlease: easy peasy
12:17:53 PM | Gaia: good idea
12:17:58 PM | Sometimes: Super
12:18:04 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: I dont mind if games are run while i host anything.
12:18:09 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: Even meetings
12:18:09 PM | Berkley: i use to love bingo games for donations
12:18:35 PM | PetMePlease: Poo’s hosting right now Andy
12:18:40 PM | Sometimes: Right well, it’s been cancelled so a game would be great next hour if any hosts are up for it
12:18:45 PM | XieToo: it was the most common way to earn tokens years ago
12:18:45 PM | Lady Devra: believe me, he doesnt – i had a paint game for weeks against my game <G>
12:19:01 PM | Kat: Poo is at radio<react>
12:19:06 PM | PetMePlease: lol shhhh
12:19:11 PM | Kat: hahahahah
12:19:11 PM | Tuli: what about the pan games..when a bump game is added same time?
12:19:27 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: No restrictions on pan games
12:19:27 PM | LM: i miss roulette
12:19:43 PM | Lyliana: most common way to get tokens years ago, go pawn stray paint on floor in NuYu
12:19:43 PM | PoodyCat: I love poker
12:19:48 PM | Sometimes: lol
12:19:53 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: So for the entire of June the most important thing you want me to do is a teleporter in game dome?????
12:20:03 PM | beannie: yes
12:20:03 PM | Sometimes: a yes vote from me
12:20:03 PM | PoodyCat: yes
12:20:03 PM | Poppy: yes
12:20:09 PM | Gaia: yes please
12:20:09 PM | Gaia: yes
12:20:09 PM | Lyliana: yeah roulette was great!!
12:20:14 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: Need something a little more complex
12:20:14 PM | Autumn: yes please
12:20:14 PM | Suzie: yes
12:20:19 PM | Rileigh: yes
12:20:30 PM | PetMePlease: Ok I wanna mention 100% Pawning .. Its been a long time
12:20:40 PM | XieToo: Andy… can someone create new game cards/different games for iw? Or is that an issue?
12:20:45 PM | Stella: let us go to zero when decorating
12:20:45 PM | Fritz: well good luck Andy with that teleporter at GD because there are already 10 teleporters currently in use
12:20:50 PM | LM: not sure if i could host roulette since stroke
12:20:56 PM | Gaia: 100% pawning not a bad idea
12:21:06 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: 100% pawn and teleporter will be done on Monday.
12:21:11 PM | Sometimes: Is there any not much used?
12:21:17 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: New games cards yeah that’s a tricky one.
12:21:17 PM | Polly: I vote Andy should mail out cookies to random members for the month of June<react>
12:21:22 PM | PetMePlease: TY FF <grin>
12:21:22 PM | Sometimes: Super
12:21:22 PM | Gaia: great<grin>
12:21:32 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: So i feel like new games are very important
12:21:53 PM | beannie: Back in the old days, the teleporter was one locale right of inside doors of the Game Dome and the Left room was for impromptu or subbed games if host didn’t show up
12:21:58 PM | ESP from Heidia: Make us a new game! lol
12:21:58 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: and if vzones owned a base source code for a good game we could create a lot of spin off games easily
12:22:09 PM | Fritz: I have the rights on some of the hosters, one is by Jamie’s and I’m trying to figure out how to host an interesting game with it
12:22:09 PM | Sometimes: Thats what I remember too
12:22:19 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: in the past games have always been member owned/updated/owned
12:22:19 PM | beannie: Thank you Andy <bow>
12:22:24 PM | Sometimes: Nice Fritz
12:22:24 PM | Stella: agreeded, we need folks to create them
12:23:21 PM | LM: and update the host games
12:23:21 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: As our development time/budget is mostly spent on cloud/web version of VZones it’s not been a focus because the chances are it would be made totally new when fully in cloud/web.
12:23:27 PM | PetMePlease: Andy Tell them who FF is Please lol
12:23:53 PM | Gaia: FF?
12:23:53 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: I was talking to LowRider to try and get the source for one of his games so we could make it official and use it as a base code for new games.
12:23:58 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: I need to follow up on that.
12:24:08 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: Who is FF?
12:24:08 PM | PetMePlease: my pet name for Andy Fuck Face <grin>
12:24:08 PM | beannie: yes sir please do
12:24:14 PM | Fritz: Andy I have 4 hosters
12:24:24 PM | Lady Devra: be nice if he fixed the hosters he has<shrug>
12:24:34 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: It’s the source we need Fritz
12:24:34 PM | Lady Devra: they are crap too often
12:24:45 PM | Luke: making vzones web based is a bad idea
12:24:50 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: It would allow us then to maintain and roll out variations.
12:24:55 PM | LM: i dont no if roulette hoster is still around
12:25:01 PM | Luke: it will kill it
12:25:06 PM | Kat: why
12:25:16 PM | Lady Devra: it is still around
12:25:27 PM | Fritz: yes they are

12:26:13 PM | Fritz: they are Red Dragon, Even Bet , 21 and simple Jamie’s hoster
12:26:24 PM | XieToo: We had games like “Draw, Limerick, WIAN, MadLibs, Roulette, etc” years ago
12:26:29 PM | Fritz: yes

12:27:27 PM | Lady Devra: cheater*
12:27:32 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: If it’s LowRider or Houston app then should be fine
12:27:48 PM | beannie: some of them were so poorly written and no upgrade operating systems recognizable
12:27:48 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: anything older zero chance of getting anything updated even slowly
12:27:48 PM | Fritz: well my hosters is older now and it still works
12:27:58 PM | XieToo: I’ll look again and let you know
12:28:16 PM | Lady Devra: *sits oh hands*
12:28:26 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: Any more questions?
12:28:31 PM | Lyliana: some of this tech is over 26 yrs old
12:28:31 PM | Fritz: they are only hosters used for dice based and other games
12:28:37 PM | LM: maybe low can make some
12:28:42 PM | Mikey: one thing that needs to change is host thinking they can tell other host how to host <react><react><react>
12:28:42 PM | beannie: but it’s still ticking like a timex
12:28:47 PM | Fritz: but not connected with other player’s cards

12:36:46 PM | Tuli: I was a Painter Citizen loved it
12:36:51 PM | Lyliana: same Xie
12:37:02 PM | Luke: there is never anyone around to help
12:37:02 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: I can answer the guide/acolyte/staff question but it’s the same answer we always give.
12:37:22 PM | XieToo: you need to trust people, Andy
12:37:22 PM | beannie: Don’t get me wrong, we appreciate all the time Polly Dia & Chime give to us.
12:37:28 PM | Fritz: Yes Citizens lmao I was Consigliere when I dropped coochies hahaha

12:38:04 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: We have been for the most part drama free since 2017 because of the policy of not having guides/acos/staff like the older days.
12:38:15 PM | Tuli: yeah thats a tough one there
12:38:20 PM | Lady Devra: bingo !
12:38:39 PM | XieToo: lol… trust me, there’s drama, you just don’t know about it<s>
12:38:39 PM | Kat: why having staff a drama?

12:39:15 PM | LM: drama cauisde most have favs
12:39:26 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: 99% of things staff did in the old days is not longer needed. It’s automated now or can be done without powers.
12:39:36 PM | Fritz: welll yes that’;s one way of saying it
12:39:41 PM | LM: me niether anymore
12:39:47 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: When you page someone needing urgent help what was it for?
12:39:52 PM | Tuli: that part is awesome
12:40:02 PM | Sometimes: I guess now being stuck in a maze lol
12:40:07 PM | Tuli: getting stuff painted adding bodies to avies… putting in doors
12:40:07 PM | Gaia: being lost in a maze
12:40:13 PM | beannie: no welcomers either, but there are enough of us to help a newbie
12:40:13 PM | Gaia: or not knowing something
12:40:13 PM | Lyliana: getting out of maze <shrug>
12:40:23 PM | Gaia: or dropping something you can’t see in a locale anymore
12:40:23 PM | Gaia: many reasons
12:40:23 PM | XieToo: So Andy…. on a similar note…. I’ve known about five people that returned … oldbies from DS… and they don’t stay
12:40:28 PM | PetMePlease: Im stuck in a maze in Summerplace lol

12:41:05 PM | PetMePlease: My Dia <jump>
12:41:10 PM | Suzie: hugggggs
12:41:15 PM | Lady Devra: shew <react> you missed me <G>

12:41:21 PM | Heidia: lol sorry
12:41:21 PM | XieToo: it might not be urgent to you….
12:41:26 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: Final 15 minutes.
12:41:36 PM | Tuli: Andy thank you for coming in to chat about stuff.
12:41:47 PM | PetMePlease: Andy? What would U like from us?
12:41:47 PM | LM: damn iwas in hotel
12:41:52 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: Noted during events where we have a maze that we need urgent get out for people.
12:42:03 PM | Sometimes: It’s pretty urgent if you’re in there for hours
12:42:08 PM | Lyliana: I came in with the WRIF invasion
12:42:13 PM | XieToo: plus if you’re new
12:42:24 PM | Kat: I dont go in mazes anymore for the reason
12:42:24 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: Just going back to aco question for a second. I spent 17 hours doing customer support the first week of bump competitions.
12:42:24 PM | XieToo: that’s not very welcoming to newbies
12:42:29 PM | Sometimes: Same here
12:42:29 PM | Poppy: staff would be great to have for sure
12:42:29 PM | Sometimes: Not worth the risk
12:42:34 PM | Kat: Your stuck in there for days<react>
12:42:34 PM | Fritz: Andy I think you would appreciate more staff in-world who help things around
12:42:45 PM | PetMePlease: No pixel is worth a maze to me LOL
12:42:50 PM | Gaia: Pal Joey started the Golden Knights and had MANY volunteer “helpers” of a guide nature
12:42:50 PM | Kat: me either
12:42:55 PM | Gaia: it worked well
12:43:00 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: Now lets imagine we have a team of 10 people with powers in staff roles like the old days working on schedule.
12:43:11 PM | Luke: most of your Members or should i say customers are here in the US, so having people around to help in Thier timezone is important
12:43:11 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: Can you see how this could be quite complex to keep calm?
12:43:16 PM | Lyliana: I remember Pal Joey and GKs
12:43:21 PM | PetMePlease: Yes
12:43:27 PM | XieToo: I’m going to make a blunt and honest statement here… I think having some “Staff”/helpers” requires trust
12:43:27 PM | Gaia: he was wonderful
12:43:32 PM | Madame Titzenass: i used to be GK
12:43:32 PM | Madame Titzenass: when i was male
12:43:32 PM | XieToo: and you already have some people you trust…
12:43:37 PM | Gaia: i was a GK also
12:43:37 PM | Madame Titzenass: lol
12:43:37 PM | LM: no
12:43:43 PM | Fritz: yeah many of us have worked hard for years
12:43:48 PM | PetMePlease: but I think there should always be someone here to help
12:43:48 PM | XieToo: but you don’t trust others that were staff in the past and are willing to help
12:43:58 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: Luke, with what? if we take out the maze and take out newbies then it’s just doors and ?
12:43:58 PM | Rileigh: What if you only add 1-3 staff to be on when the others can’t?
12:44:09 PM | Sometimes: Seems true Xie
12:44:14 PM | XieToo: just being honest … not everyone has an ulterior motive
12:44:14 PM | Luke: huh ?
12:44:25 PM | XieToo: but.. I’ve noticed “Favatars”….
12:44:25 PM | LM: maybe one per shift
12:44:25 PM | Fritz: so it would be nice to have a little help I’m usually up late at night and would help them if I could
12:44:25 PM | Kat: maybe do the mazes with a way out if stuck
12:44:35 PM | Luke: i never said anything about the maze
12:44:35 PM | Luke: lol
12:44:51 PM | Kat: like close window and come back on the outside of the maze
12:44:56 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: Help with what??? ignore mazes/newbies for a second……..what is critical you need help with US time?
12:44:56 PM | Lady Devra: beating a dead horse
12:45:11 PM | Lady Devra: he is not going to change his thinking
12:45:17 PM | PetMePlease: Im here enough and I couuld help.. and I hate everyone the same.. Noo faves
12:45:22 PM | XieToo: and others have as well… just please…. LISTEN to what people are saying… we offer our thoughts and you tend to shut them down Andy
12:45:33 PM | Fritz: you are from UK and we are from USA we need one overnight and one through the day
12:45:33 PM | Sometimes: Agreed
12:45:38 PM | LM: lol who said that
12:45:43 PM | Luke: wasting my time here
12:45:59 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: It’s not a case of shutting down on the staff position.
12:46:14 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: It’s a case of that caused VZones to go out of business in the past MULTIPLE times.
12:46:25 PM | Poppy: i know i have need help with learning how to paint things and how things work and i did send esp’s out and didnt get responces
12:46:30 PM | Poppy: so staff would have been nice
12:46:35 PM | Mikey: staff didnt shut down vzones
12:46:46 PM | Mikey: bad ownership did
12:46:46 PM | Fritz: no it haven’t gone out of business before
12:46:46 PM | LM: agreed
12:46:46 PM | XieToo: what Im saying is…………… you ask for suggestions, the society tells you what they’d LIKE to see… and maybe try…
12:46:56 PM | Sometimes: Paying staff shut it down?
12:47:12 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: So lets look @ lukes message.
12:47:22 PM | XieToo: but there’s always a reason why NOT to do something. At my RW job I assisted the director and felt my job was not to say it can’t be done.. but HOW can I get it done?
12:47:28 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: As a newbie I agree more access to help is something we need.
12:47:28 PM | XieToo: that’s all.
12:47:38 PM | Luke: im not a newbie
12:47:38 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: We setup a welcomers group just for that and to resolve that.
12:48:04 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: It’s got a small number of active people
12:48:14 PM | LM: that would work
12:48:25 PM | Fritz: no like what Mikey said… we didn’t shut down, the bad ownership did
12:48:35 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: And anyone is welcome to signup and do what you would class as a staff duty on that
12:48:51 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: I will come to mikey question in a second.
12:48:56 PM | Fritz: and I can name her hane….
12:48:56 PM | Fritz: JUSTINE
12:49:02 PM | Lyliana: how do you create paint codes?
12:49:07 PM | XieToo: omg please don’t say her name<S>
12:49:12 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: I’ve had quite a few people ask me to be staff in the last few months alone.
12:49:17 PM | Gracie: Do you have a list of things that are staff duties that one can look at?
12:49:23 PM | PetMePlease: I miss Bill
12:49:28 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: Everytime I say sure….you can help the newbies they didnt want to do it unless they had powers/status.
12:49:33 PM | XieToo: I’ll be glad to help anyone with paint codes.. just espmail XieToo
12:49:33 PM | ~¤~Çinnamon~¤~: I miss KENN!
12:49:49 PM | Madame Titzenass: thats what they want andy
12:49:49 PM | Madame Titzenass: power
12:49:54 PM | LM: no to powers
12:49:59 PM | Suzie: I get esp a lot to help someone and i do
12:49:59 PM | Lady Devra: ding ding ding
12:49:59 PM | ~¤~Çinnamon~¤~: he wld do direct paint on us from skies if we wanted
12:49:59 PM | Lyliana: Thanks Xie
12:49:59 PM | LM: thats drama
12:49:59 PM | Sometimes: Well it’s not unreasonable for people to expect some recompense for giving up their time for a business
12:50:05 PM | Suzie: lots in here do not mind helping
12:50:05 PM | XieToo: no one needs “power” to do a good job
12:50:20 PM | Kat: Polly does that for Me
12:50:20 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: From Lukes question newbies need help and powers/status is not needed for that.
12:50:31 PM | XieToo: I had “powers” years ago… and I NEVER took advantage of what I was able to do to help people
12:50:31 PM | Luke: right
12:50:36 PM | Berkley: i didnt sign up for welcomers but ive helped many new ones that come in at night..
12:50:36 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: I’m more than happy for anyone willing to help newbies to join the group and do the work
12:50:47 PM | ~¤~Çinnamon~¤~: Ive helped some with paints also, as I used to be a Guide/Painter
12:50:47 PM | Fritz: same here
12:50:47 PM | Mikey: i sit in welcome center at times
12:50:52 PM | Fritz: I never took advantage of it
12:50:59 PM | LM: doesnt emm greet newbies
12:50:59 PM | Poppy: and Luke wasnt the only one saying this so why pointing him out in all of this
12:50:59 PM | Mikey: me or myy alt
12:51:04 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: Many of you do yeah and that’s amazing.
12:51:20 PM | XieToo: I help people all the time… I’ve offered… even with events.. and I can’t DRAG people to accept my help
12:51:31 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: I’m talking about people wanting to be staff and the biggest role of that which is not automated is helping noobs.
12:51:36 PM | PetMePlease: i dont have the patience to teach but I do give some T’s if I see a Noob
12:51:41 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: Moving to Mikey point…..
12:52:02 PM | miracle: Namenloser just arrived if anyone wants to esp<shrug> or help the noob<shrug><shrug>
12:52:07 PM | miracle: i let emm know
12:52:12 PM | miracle: he has patience with noobs
12:52:12 PM | LM: we all should helps newps if can
12:52:28 PM | XieToo: SubTLE just left.
12:52:28 PM | miracle: i like to give gifts
12:52:44 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: The causing of VZones shutting down in the past was forced by internal power battles between staff.
12:53:05 PM | beannie: specifics?
12:53:10 PM | miracle: no staff no battles
12:53:10 PM | miracle: nice
12:53:15 PM | Sometimes: That seems like an exstreme situation, is it likely to happen again?
12:53:26 PM | miracle: the bots dont do that
12:53:26 PM | Fritz: I never noticed this battle before
12:53:31 PM | PetMePlease: Power Wars
12:53:31 PM | LM: its true they always battling
12:53:36 PM | Lady Devra: lmfao @ bots
12:53:41 PM | LM: yup
12:53:52 PM | Berkley: they disapea every now and then …
12:53:57 PM | Kat: think owner has something to do with it too
12:53:57 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: You have to consider as a host/member you are only seeing one view of it
12:54:02 PM | Berkley: disappear
12:54:02 PM | Fritz: when I was staff I never seen any battle
12:54:18 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: So for example the bump competition you are seeing it’s all fine but some people don’t agree.
12:54:18 PM | LM: i no more then shhe does i want to move higher battles drama
12:54:34 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: But behind the scenes it’s pages and pages of complaints daily.
12:54:39 PM | PetMePlease: or fighting over guys LOL
12:54:46 PM | Mikey: i was staff and didnt see the battles however i seen abuse of powers and that may have played a big part
12:54:46 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: Arguments, fallings out, cancelled accounts and so on.
12:55:02 PM | LM: again pixel hoes
12:55:02 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: The goal is not to shut anyone down on this.
12:55:12 PM | Lady Devra: sc wasn’t big enuff chazz
12:55:18 PM | Mikey: well Andy
12:55:31 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: The goal is to find ways where we can give people duties/roles without them needing power/status to do the things which you feel are needed by the old term staff
12:55:31 PM | Mikey: let me ask you this
12:55:31 PM | LM: i dont care what spot iam i like to play
12:55:31 PM | PoodyCat: cancelled account is money wize to expensive
12:55:47 PM | XieToo: but… why can’t someone be overseeing something like that instead of you Andy? <for example….any complaints go to Emm and then Emm will go to Andy instead of ten people going to Andy>
12:56:08 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: That’s why it’s important you tell me ideally on support tickets all the things you feel are needed by staff that you can’t get done quickly.
12:56:13 PM | Mikey: how does one of the old staff members that was a BIG problem have staff position here and ignore a member?
12:56:23 PM | Lady Devra: that was tried in MW & doesnt work
12:56:39 PM | Fritz: well <shrug>
12:57:10 PM | miracle: never been staff so idk
12:57:10 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: XieToo if members are complaining about other members then to keep in line with the power battles problem we don’t assign a member to handle member disputes. It’s done by VZones.
12:57:16 PM | Lyliana: new shoes
12:57:49 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: Mikey you’ll need to explain what you mean
12:57:49 PM | XieToo: I was referring to the basic set up.. not about individuals having arguements
12:58:09 PM | Mikey: i will send you a ticket on it i dont want the name out
12:58:09 PM | PoodyCat: the paint club should be all the time for everyone in world not just VIP
12:58:15 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: So guys it would be helpful if you can submit tickets if you have anything which you feel is needed to be done by staff that you can’t get done quick enough.
12:58:20 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: Okay Mikey
12:58:20 PM | Mikey: I thought you were aware
12:58:31 PM | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: We have none VIP paint club also yes.
