We'll be posting the transcript soon, just need to clean it up a little so it's easier to follow.
Thanks again to all those who participated. It was fun and we will definitely consider doing this again in the future. Meanwhile I hope this has spiked your interest in Ghost Cartels and the secrets of tempo... |

Blade: Funny. I was wondering who used that name. I used the handle "S|ICK" for years on the old SR IRC back in the day.

Heh, that's the streetname of my main SR4 character (the one who was most likely to be in such a chat and say interesting things).

That was definitely very fun. I had fun playing out my magician, Bane. It was nice to see him chatting with canon figures. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

That was the first SR chat I've done of any type and it was really enjoyable. it really felt like a shadowtalk from one of the books, albeit with sometimes slightly less direction (naturally). I'd definitely do that again. Of course, I'm also probably jonesing from lack of a game currently and having a new character (Gwailo) I've only played once...

FYI, the formal transcript will probably be posted later in the week as I'm at the GAMA Trade Show from Monday -> Thursday [and preparing for it and flying Sunday/today]
Edit: And I'll try to set aside some time to debug the issues that some people are having accessing the chat from Linux before the next chat. |

The chatroom appears to still be open. No-one is there, though.
BattleCorp's Chatroom Not much of an echo. |

Am I really the only one who didn't enjoy it? I found the chat far too fragmented and fast-scrolling. As soon as I tried to formulate a question, I fell hopelessly behind, and could not for the life of me follow what was being said. I don't think any of my Q's were addressed, and I could barely tell which questions got answers and which answers were for which questions.
It felt like I was 13 again on Yahoo Chat. *shudder* I'm really looking forward to next month's, hoping I'll like the usual question/answer format better. If they do it as IC again in the future, I hope it's not a regular thing. That said, the session STARTED OUT awesome. It was only after everyone started talking at once that I stopped enjoying myself. -------------------------------------------------- I agree It'd be cool to have the chats on IRC: a java applet on the site for non-IRC'ers still, but the option of being able to join in on X-Chat would be wicked. It worked fine for me, but that applet is so SMALL! It held maybe 10 short lines of text on my machine. -------------------------------------------------- [Edit:] Of course, that Parachat thing is expensive, and paid for by subscription. It looks like they have a Professional or better subscription, so I imagine there may be roadblocks for switching. Besides... does IRC have an option for the "anything you type is sent to a moderator who can then send it to a Speaker" question-and-answer mode? Sadly, I doubt it. |

Heh. Yeah, opening the floodgates as it were wasnae particularly easy on the freelancers either, though we did our best. It's possible we could have continued with a sort of moderated discussion, but it would have been much slower and the greater part of the spontaneity lost (for good or ill).

i guess there is a reason why older books showed megapulses, or even gigapulses of comments deleted by the old captain...
still, i have a feel that the articles in the books are more like a wiki then a chatroom. or maybe a kind of cross between a wiki and a webforum? as in, you cant touch the original article unless your its "owner" or a admin of the place, but can insert comments at any point (but not edit other peoples comments). hmm, could make for a interesting interface irl. especially if one could opt to hide the comments. |

When will the transcript be posted? In the past, it seems like they were posted within hours....so far it has been days...enquiring minds want to know.

There's a rather significant game industry event this week. Adam's got to attend it, which means web stuff needs to wait until he gets back.

Which reminds: Adam Jury got a little love. I'd post there myself, but, um, I've kinda been banned a few times. Not without reason, I might say.
