ravengurl2006 (admin): so to the agenda

Miss Parker (admin): right!

Miss Parker (admin): Sim updates....still no word from Vania re Sim 2

ravengurl2006 (admin): and is sim 1 on hold?

Miss Parker (admin): And Sim 1 is still enroute...don't think it will be in Australia till next week...or the week after

ravengurl2006 (admin): ah ok

Miss Parker (admin): That's about it for the Sims....

[15:50] <MissParker> meanwhile, ....back to the agenda....

[15:50] <ravengurl> so the sims are both still enroute with no word?

[15:50] <MissParker> yep that's correct

[15:50] <MissParker> Sim 1 has two stops to make in Australia

[15:50] <MissParker> But Sim 2 only has to go to one person in Portugal

[15:51] <MissParker> Next we should discuss: Bulletins & other projects: e.g. Sci-fi roll call

[15:51] <MissParker> it's almost the end of May so I suppose we should all be making new bulletins for June now...

[15:52] <ravengurl> or new ones altogether *hides*

[15:52] <MissParker> lol not you too!

[15:52] <MissParker> Last week I posted a few around campus, ...one I know for sure is still up...haven't checked on the others.

[15:53] <ravengurl> it's the littler things that go by the way-side when work is as nuts as it is

[15:53] <MissParker> Will replace them on Friday...I may change the text....if I don't feel too lazy!

[15:53] <ravengurl> i may have had a 3 day weekend, but i was booked solid thru sunday nite and then monday all my plans got changed for me again w/o my consent

[15:53] <MissParker> awww....sorry about that!

[15:54] <MissParker> we have a holiday tomorrow...I will work on my new ones...get them ready for posting....

[15:55] <MissParker> I guess everyone should consider themselves reminded again...please post some bulletins!! And don't forget to visit Fox forum and log the ones you have posted...I think I need to do that...can't remember if I did or not...

[15:55] <ravengurl> so how goes the sci-fi forum for everyone?  i need to get myself in the habit of checking there all the time, or having it send me emails like fox does

[15:56] <MissParker> I have not checked it in a while...tomorrow I will definitely look in....

[15:56] <Quibus> I don't think I know about it

[15:56] <MissParker> yeah...having it send you emails is definitely helpful!

[15:56] <MissParker> Q, that's because you won't visit Fox...or read much of anything but spam at CPF!!

[15:56] <Quibus> hey! I read everything at CPF!

[15:57] <ravengurl> *echos Miss P's sentiments*

[15:57] <Quibus> I just need to remember to go to Fox...

[15:57] <MissParker> lol ok

[15:57] <MissParker> maybe I missed posting at CPF....although I don't think so!! lol

[15:57] <ravengurl> haha do we need to set up a rotating reminder schedule for us all to email Q like we log in for LJ?

[15:57] <MrZenith_> Can't visit fox. design hurts my eyes, so that I can't read.

[15:57] <MissParker> I will have to check that and see if I owe you an apology, Q!! lol

[15:57] <Ruben20> I am confused. have we changed the time of the chat?

[15:57] <Quibus> haha

[15:57] <MissParker> lol no Ruben...only for today...

[15:58] <Ruben20> Ah, i see

[15:58] <MissParker> Yes I think that is an excellent idea ravengurl!!

[15:58] <MissParker> So...I'll make a roster!

[15:58] <Quibus>

[15:58] <MissParker> since i have time tomorrow...supposedly!

[15:58] <ravengurl> haha

[15:59] <ravengurl> well i volunteer to send an email at least once a week, that i can do, i spend enough time in email that if i can't remember to do that then i have issues

[15:59] <MissParker> lol

[15:59] <MissParker> ok

[15:59] <ravengurl> Z, is it the colors on the fox forum that are problematic?

[15:59] <MissParker> we should all try to send at least one email a week to Fox as well, and also log that at Fox forum...or at CPF and I will paste it to Fox...if you insist it hurts your eyes!

[16:00] <MrZenith_> meh.

[16:01] <MissParker> The other projects are: Longest Thread...which is at Fox...I don't know what else to say...Q and Z are not the only ones who need to post more there...I am sorta out of it...I lent my S1 DVDs!!

[16:01] <ravengurl> i'm not a huge fan of the colors, but one of my friends said they found some site that "translates" other sites, not just from foreign languages, but pulls all the fancy formatting out making it quicker to load and easier to read, i'll look into it

[16:01] <MissParker> What other projects do we need to remember?

[16:01] <MissParker> that sounds interesting ravengurl...let us know what you find out.

[16:01] <ravengurl> i'll try to get back to the longest thread soon, i posted a bit last nite, or the nite before, don't remember

[16:01] <ravengurl> will do

[16:02] <MissParker> great!

[16:02] <ravengurl> other projects....any new ideas for campaigning besides the ones mentioned in fox (and then i assume pasted to cpf?)

[16:02] <ravengurl> i personally love the pez dispenser idea!

[16:02] <Quibus> ?

[16:02] <MissParker> don't think i have seen any new ideas...i also love the pez dispenser idea!

[16:03] <MissParker> lol they have not been pasted to CPF yet...so Q won't know about these new posts!

[16:03] <ravengurl> was it you Reuben who suggested that?

[16:03] <Ruben20> Yes

[16:04] <ravengurl> would you like to explain it to Q?

[16:04] <MissParker> I wish they didn't sell them so expensively here...will have to wait till I get to the US to buy some...

[16:05] <Ruben20> The general idea is to simply send pez dispensers to Fox with a little note attached to it informing them that we want more of The Pretender.

[16:05] <ravengurl> i'm wondering if ordering them online might be easier for some in other countries?

[16:05] <MissParker> I wish!

[16:05] <MissParker> It's not as easy, or as cheap, unfortunately....

[16:05] <Quibus> I actually have a pez dispenser order form.

[16:06] <MissParker> At least I have not found them to be so....

[16:06] <MissParker> really?

[16:06] <MissParker> what's the price on the form?

16:07] <ravengurl> well maybe we can look into a few of us from the US ordering them and having them "gift shipped" to y'all elsewhere depending on cost?

[16:07] <MrZenith_> leaving. have fun. back in moments.

[16:07] <MissParker> ok Z bye!

[16:07] <Quibus> well there's this party box thing, which is a bunch of dispensers all with the same theme, and they're $15 and $18, depending on which one.

[16:07] <MissParker> good idea ravengurl!

[16:07] <MissParker> how many in the box?

[16:08] <MissParker> Another idea Ruben had: the fan fiction stories. There are tons and tons of them, and what if we print out one fan-fic a day and send it to the PTB as a sign of the dedication many have to The Pretender? With the ammount of fanfic's, we could probably go on for years sending one a day.

[16:08] <Quibus> 12 per box.

[16:08] <ravengurl> not too bad, depends on how much shipping costs i guess

[16:08] <MissParker> that's not too bad....

[16:08] <MissParker> Another idea from Miss PJ: Along the same line as the fanfic idea - we could send them a Pretender quote a day

[16:09] <ravengurl> then again, when i run into them for cheap at the dollar stores here i could pick up extras and drop them in separate boxes to y'all

[16:09] <MissParker> great!

[16:10] <ravengurl> quotes are good too

[16:10] <ravengurl> i made way too much work for myself (again, delusions of grandeur) and thought it might be effective to send a quote out of the pez scene with the dispenser

[16:10] <MissParker> lol ravengurl

[16:11] <MrZenith> poor. leaving now. you can reach me through Q.

[16:12] <ravengurl> if i think about it i'll try to get a thread started about the pez dispensers on fox tonite

[16:13] <MissParker> cool ravengurl!

[16:15] <MissParker> last thing: Anyone has more "Campaign Video ideas"?

[16:15] <ravengurl> i still need to sit down and go thru the info on that to understand what you guys mean by campaign video vs our usual ones

[16:16] <MissParker> I am thinking maybe we need to roster for sending fanfics and quotes...then even if we don't all send all the time...Fox will get at least one a day from someone....

[16:16] <ravengurl> i agree

[16:16] <ravengurl> i'm thinking i like excel spreadsheets right about now

[16:16] <MissParker> It's more focussed/directed at telling fans to specifically join the campaign as opposed to just a video with scenes put together and a url at the end....

[16:17] <ravengurl> ok, i'll think on that some

[16:17] <MissParker> excel is cool for some things...sometimes it gets annoying though...

[16:17] <MissParker> like when it tries to format stuff for you or change your text to a date!!

[16:17] <Quibus> yeah that does suck.

[16:17] <ravengurl> Miss P, what time is it for you right now? I'm curious as to where everyone is timezone wise

[16:17] <ravengurl> yes!

[16:18] <MissParker> we're on the same time till you guys "fall back"

[16:18] <ravengurl> cuz if i work on stuff tonite, will anyone else be awake?

[16:18] <MissParker> well EST anyway

[16:18] <MissParker> welcome back Ruben!

[16:18] <ravengurl> so you're EST?

[16:18] <Quibus> yes, welcome back.

[16:18] <Quibus> I'm EST too.

[16:18] <ravengurl> *waves*

[16:18] <MissParker> It's like 6am for Cate in Australia....

[16:18] <Ruben20> Damn this computer! I probably missed a lot

[16:18] <MissParker> Is it 1pm for you ravengurl?

[16:18] <ravengurl> cuz I'm in AZ so we never change

[16:18] <MissParker> yep...you did...Ruben

[16:19] <MissParker> Oh...I didn't know that!

[16:19] <MissParker> good to know!

[16:19] <ravengurl> yeah, it's great for us cuz we never get confused but it's confusing trying to keep with everyone else

[16:19] <ravengurl> it's 1:20ish

[16:20] <MissParker> oh ok...i was remembering from worldtimeserver....

[16:20] <ravengurl> we're a constant GMT-7 hours

[16:20] <MissParker> ok...we're supposed to be at constant GMT-4 then.....

[16:20] <Quibus> I'm surprised NH does daylight savings, 'cause it's strange in almost every other regard.

[16:20] <MissParker> lol Q

[16:21] <ravengurl> haha

[16:21] <Ruben20> The reference to sci-fi channel being interested in financing a third movie has been removed on Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pretender_%28TV_series%29

[16:21] <ravengurl> *raises one eyebrow*

[16:21] <ravengurl> i wonder why and by whom

[16:21] <MissParker> Oh....not a good sign....must the wikipedia geeks! if there is no source listed...they tend to pull stuff like that out

[16:22] <MissParker> I suppose they do have a point....so we need to get some proof to get it back on there!!

[16:22] <ravengurl> indeed

[16:22] <ravengurl> hey, is our stuff on there?

[16:22] <MissParker> well, it's almost time for me to leave...was going to go for a swim....but won't have time after all....

[16:22] <ravengurl> like all our campaign sites and stuff?

[16:22] <ravengurl> ok

[16:23] <MissParker> well, i think Fox forum link should be there...they did cut a lot of the fan urls that were there before...

[16:23] <ravengurl> i'll stick around for a bit in case anyone else has stuff

[16:23] <ravengurl> i'll look at it later, see if i can figure out what's "good" and "bad" to be posted on there and see if i can add stuff

[16:24] <MissParker> oh yeah...the campaign site links are still there too....and also the new one MissPJ made....

[16:25] <MissParker> ok ravengurl, great! will you copy/paste anything that should be saved for the transcript for me please?

[16:25] <ravengurl> will do
