Oh man I forgot, hopefully you guys read my last reply in the "custom chat" thread, that we would be moving the 2 chats to differant dates. UGP's is on Thursday at 9 EST. Hopefully you guys can make it. See you guys then. ??? possibly.
Adam ;)
-
What time would that be smarty?? ??? ;D You forgot to mention that. ;)
-
oops I had pushed shift when I typed 9 so I got left parenthesis. :-X :-[ So yeah 9 EST. ;)
-
See you in about 10 min smarty. ;)
-
Well, by 10:45 the chat was gone.... :(
-
Sorry I keep missing these. :-[
:)
-
A little bit more notice would be very helpful. Maybe even an email annoucing it.
-
Right. I forgot too. :(
-
Yeah I know, I forgot to Place that in the Newsletter. It was on the last post of the original CHAT thread. That the 2 would move. Sorry if you guys didnt get the memo, I almost forgot myself. :-X [tweety bird voice] I'm a baaaad little boy [/tweetybirdvoice] :-[
sorry,
Adam
-
I thought it might be useful to bump this up.
-

It's workin for me fritz. What's it doing?
-
Nothing the Banner and a blank Grey screen is all that I'm getting.
-
I'm going to miss tonights again, I'm going to be playing some baseball with my friends. It's too nice of a night to pass up. Sorry guys.
-
This sucks >:( This is the first time I can actually make the chat and I can't log into the Chat Room.
-
He guys I can't coonect to the Chat Room. I need some help here.
Fritzkrieg
As I mentioned in your other chatroom thread in the Forum Help section, I got in there no problem as well... So I'm not entirely sure what the problem is on your end here. We'll have the boss look into it a little more when he gets back though. Sorry for the trouble!
BTW, I assume you've cleared your Cookies out and tried again?
- Matt
-
Yep. Is there some sort of driver I need to download or update?
-
I got it to work, thanks to Chris :)
-
The chat is on. Feel free to join us.
-
same here, just getting the grey screen :(
-
As an alternative, I suggest everyone going to FFURG's chatroom, which should be up and running though I must say that I and other staffers haven't been in it in a while... It's worth a shot as a back-up.
You may also need the latest version of software to use the chatroom on our front page Fritz... See if there's any DL's you need to use our chat.
-
Well that chat was a success. I managed to get a lot more people to come and we did some very productive work. For those that missed it, the recap will be in the newsletter. Hope you can make it next week!
-
Figured a reminder for tonight couldn't hurt.
-
Thanks for getting that reminder up CC1, I have been gone all day so I almost forgot myself. See you all there. :P
-
What are we going to talk about tonight?
roron corobb
-
Is anyone going to chan tonight?
roron corobb
-
Taht would be my fault :-[ I didnt do a newsletter earlier this week, cause I'm still trying to catch up since i was gone. I normally send out reminders in those emails. :-[Sorry Paul. :( I didn't mean to screw up.
-
It looks like I'm going to have to flogg you with a wet noodle. Let's have an update this week. I've been gone this last week so I need an update.
-
Yessir, I'll get one up post haste, :D and Then we'll get right back on course with next week.
-
Sorta a late bump, for those that forgot.
-
omg
with Drivers ed.... damn thanks CC1
-
How'd it go, as I said in the other thread, I got on late and when I tried to log in, I couldn't get the chat to work.. how was it?
-
pretty good, I got in late for the same reason you did, but i did catch the last 30 minutes. Um if you want a fulll rundown CC1 or someone else who was there the whole time can fill you in.
-
If anyone has problems getting in, go to the main site liveharmony.org and log in like that and find the JD room. I was able to get in right away as I tried for about an half hour to log on from JD pages tonight.

-
Ah man, yeah i was having probs today again, it worked just fine yesterday. I'll do that next time. Thanks RC
-
Due to the attendance level of last night's ugp chat, (due to the lack of a reminder) I suggest we move the chat to Sundays at the same time. 7pm pst on a weekday is a terrible time for me to get on the chat since I'm in the middle of getting kids ready for bed.
-
I would have to agree with that. I tried to get on about an hour and a half later, but no one was around. As I take it Chewie was the only one to show up. If it is Sunday let me know and I'll be there. Thanks.
roron corobb
-
Yeah I have been so stressed wiht school starting this week and a Golf tournament that day, but if its Sunday, I wont be there, CC1 will have to take care of it as I have Youth group.
-
What times on sunday work for everybody? Maybe there's one that fits for most everybody.
-
How about 6 O'clock EST. that way, it's not around any dinner times, and the parents on here won't have to worry about getting children to bed. If that works give me shout, I'll also send out an email and see if it works too.
-
Sunday At Six Works For Me
Allen
-
I should be able to make sunday at 6 work.
-
OK thats in 20 minutes everyone, I don't expect to see you guys though, considering we only decided today. ::) As of next week though, I hope to see a larger turn out because of the change.
-
I think sunday's chat when very well considering we didn't really tell anyone it was going on. What do you say to making it 4pm pacific time on sundays?
-
I had fun at chat.. well, besides the thug homies stopping by, lol..
Sorry I never came back, my wife hikacked the computer and I was buisy adding little bits here and there to my Imp Tower.
Any other ideas come up?
-
What was with that guy that keep talking to himself?
-
ROFL the F***in monkey man crew. HAHA. Man those guys were messed up. Sorry I had to bail all of a sudden, my mom was yelling at me. :-[
-
Yah, we thought that was pretty sudden.
-
Well, when momma aint happy, nobody is happy. ::)
-
Are we having a chat tonight? Just wondering. If we are I'll try and joint. Thanks
roron corobb
-
Not a sceduled one, but I'd be up for one.
-
Sorry I can't, I might pop in for a bit if we had an impromtu chat
-
I'll jump into one at 6, if anyone show up that would be cool.
roron corobb
-
My time zone is differrent. would it be possible to have a clock or a link to a series of clocks that help put times into perspective when setting chat times?
-
Right now it is set for 7:00 PM (1900) GMT +4. So if you know your timezone you should be able to figure it out. Be sure to factor in Daylight savings time if you don't use it where you live. In other words 7:00 PM is really 6:00 PM GMT +4.
What timezone are you in?
-
Aaah.....math.... hurt brain. ???
Personally, I think we should all go by Pacific standard time. I'm tired of watching 'live' events that are going on here prerecorded just so the east coast can watch it 'live'.
-
I agreeI I don't even understand what I don't understand. Lets put it this way. Toronto is in the same zone as NY, Chicago & Florida.
-
Why not just state allof the time zones just like on TV?
-
Patreek if you are central then it is just 7:00 Pm for you assuming you practice daylight savings time.
Here's the chat time in all the continetal US timezones: (Using Daylight savings, any one in AZ can figure this out for themselves.)
7:00 PM Eastern
6:00 PM Central
5:00 PM Mountain
4:00 PM Pacific
Personally, I think we should all go by Pacific standard time.
And I think we should go by Mountain because I'm tired of being the only timezone never listed. ;)
-
Chat anyone?
-
Anyone still around for a chat?
roron corobb
-
Is the chat still on for tonight? ;D
-
I'll be there if it is, but I forget what time and timezone :P
-
Is the chat still on for tonight? ;D
It's been moved to Sundays. Feel free to jump in though.
-
I'll come if people want to have one.
-
Is anyone going to chat tonight? I'm here at 7:15 PST. Thanks
roron corobb
-
Good chat tonight guys. I'm going to get the ball rolling on the customizing auctions so we can start to raise money for this project.
-
Am I missing something? I checked at 6 and 7:30 eastern, and no one else was on. I don't think I have the wrong time? :P
-
Oh crap, I completley forgot the chat :P.
-
sorry.. I was redoing my office to set up my casting station for GTG... so.. I wasn't able to make it on for a while.
-
Any one up for a chat tonight? My time 6:10 PST.
roron corobb
-
I hope we get a good turnout this evening. Can we start it a touch later than usual?
-
No chat today? I have been waiting around for a half hour now. Anyone want to chat? Thanks
roron corobb
-
Sorry I missed last night. I couldn't skip the Bronco game though.
-
Remember, we have a chat tonight, 9EST, 8CST, 7MST, 6PST.
Hope you can make it!
-
Won't be able to make it tonight, I'll be out playing hockey.
-
Gah- my internet server kept messing up last night and I was only able to chat a few minutes with Chewie and CC1. I don't think there were more than 3 people at any time, so are there better days/times for these?
-
I have a feeling that with the NFL season going on, a lot of people are watching football on sunday and therefore isn't the best night for a chat. How do people feel about monday?
-
Ok everyone I set up a Poll on Yakface while the forums are up. This poll will allow us to figure out a day then after that a time. Feel free to jump over there and place your vote.
Adam
-
Remember to Cast your vote
-
This needs to be decided now! Whatever happen to our weekly newletter and the leadership meeting that I wanted to hold? >:(
-
This is for the Leadership meating, But I guess we need an Emergency one So How about Like the last one. Thursday Night? that way we can get at least one in until the poll ends to make an official date and time. So thursday at lets say 7 EST. Does that work for everyone?
-
I know I'm not contributing much in the way of physical stuff, but I'd love to be a part of the chats - I'll put it down on my PDA - 7pm, Thursday (EST).
-Tom
-
Look forward to seeing you there Pen
-
I've got a large term paper due Friday, so I won't be there.
-
Ok sorry bout that Ryan, but as soon as the chat Poll goes through we'll have the staff chat half an hour before the normal one for out regular schedule.
-
So I ended up having to work though to 9:30pm last night - and that was 'fun' and all</sarcasm> - but I missed the chat :(
Anything get decided? Any info? Will our heros make it to C4? Is the world in desperate peril?! Will Patreek ever find love an assignment?!
What is to become of the Emperor's Jewel?!!?
<insert suspensful 50's horror music here>
-
My mom Forced me to leave, I said I had important things to do. When I couldn't give her an exact answer I was shoved in the car so uncerimoniusly >:(
-
Well for me, it's not easy now that my work is forcing my schedule to shift around, and I've been working about 60 hours a week. When I am customizing/working on my personal stuff, it's usually around midnight. Life sucks when your company screws over your entire department.
So, I did vote already for Friday evenings. That is the one "work night" that I am usually home by 7pm. Saturdays/Sundays I've been having to spend a lot of time at family get togethers.
;)
-
I completely forgot last thursday. I get home at about 6:30 and its dinner time, then homework time and constantly new baby time. So it slipped my mind.
I will have to set my phone to alarm for thurdays at 7, but i know for a fact that i will be late if not absent this thursday. I have a 6:30 meeting.
-
Thursday this week is out for me, have a rehearsal dinner I have to attend.
;)
-
Dont worry bout that Justin, that was an emergency Chat, and noone made it ::) But That was prolly my fault. It is gonna be eitehr friday or saturday night, whatever paul thinks is best.
-
Just to let you know now, Fridays and Saturdays almost never work for me...
-
Almost any night is good for me. Just let me know when something gets finalised.
-
How about sundays? just like the old one, it might have to be a bit earlier than before though sicne Im in student leadership at youthgroup :P
-
I'd like to propose a CHAT for Sunday evening - 6 PM Central Time... anyone?
:P
-
Sundays are not good for me. BUT I Will Make The Time, damn It!
Enough of this pussyfootin' around. ;) Someone declare a time, and I will try like hell to move things around so I can make it.
-
I should be able to make that 8)
-
I'll do my best.
-
Perfect Justin, Youth group moved to Wed, so i have plenty of time on sunday. I'll be sending a newsletter out tomo evening and will mention this then and on sat morning and sunday evening.
-
6 PM Central Time
-
Hopefully we'll have a good turnout... I forgot that there would be Toy Fair going on this weekend, so we might be chatting about that too. :D
:P
-
That would be 5:00 eastern right?
If so, I will be cutting it pretty close, but I will try my damnedest to make it.
-
No that would be 7 east. 6 cent, 5 RMT, 4 for all you californians. I goofed in the newsletter, sending out another reminder today about the chat tomorrow
-
duh... hey Smartz - my brain must be fried. Where's the news letter (and zipped UGP pix), and how does I get to chat?
-
hmmm, i dont know why you didnt get the Newsletter, I added everyone in my address book for this, ill just PM you a copy and get it to you soon. Same with the zip file :P
-
Thanks Smarty - got the stuff 8)
-
Im sorry I didnt attend tonight, I dont know how many people made it, but my dad made me go to a church thing tonight, i got back like and hour after it was scheduled, :-[ I'm soooo sorry all.
-
Damn. I'm sorry I missed the chat. My son's birthday was this weekend and we just got totally tied up with family stuff.
-
Happy b-day Brent.
I tried really hard to get to the chat - and made it in, like 3 times. And got crashed every single time.... guess it didn't like my Mac?
Anything get decided? Anyone with highlights?
-
Here's my notes from last night's chat - feel free to add to this/comment on this guys.
Attendance -
- Daigo-Bah
- Darth Ennis
- Pendragon
- Ryan
- Chewie
Here's a summary of what took place -
- discussed that we should accept the offer of Niub Niub to allow for us to use his space, will most likely be a 9 x 6 area - I would suggest that we donate something to his diorama effort since he is helping us out - he needs Endor figures
- discussed that if we go down to 9 x 6, we will need to adjust the scope of the set - what should be sacrificed? the forest area? mountains? spaceport? can we only have a city now? do we still need a wall?
- decided it will probably be best to only have 10 or less Rebels in the scene
- will need to concentrate mainly on custom citizens moving forward
- may throw in a twist of "Force Unleashed" into the diorama somewhere, with Vader standing over a custom dead Jedi, and a couple other custom Jedi fighting a group of Stormtroopers
- we need to make a comprehensive list of what we have so far for this in terms of figures, vehicles and buildings and take pictures
- I am going to email Niub Niub (Frank) this week to discuss in further detail what we need to do
:P
-
Yes we still need a wall, at least along the back and one or two of the sides. With a wall and a backdrop we can create the illusion of depth. Since we are getting a much smaller space we need that if we want the thing to have any scope.
-
Have we discussed how tall the wall should be?
:P
-
Thanks for the summary Chewie.
Besides the citizens, the most obvious pressing need is for construction of buildings to begin. Was their any talk of who was going to spearhead the effort of modifying the layout? I think it needs to be a single person (almost dictator style). We don't have time to what for a committee to come to an agreement. Or minimally, the project heads (Phruby, Ryan, Chewie and Glassman) need to make the consensus decision.
-
I was thinking around 8" or so, about twice the height of a normal figure. If the poit of the wall is to a) keep the wilderness out and b) defend the city from ground forces, much shorter than 8" would be too easy to climb and wouldn't serve much of a purpose.
Edited to reflect Brent's post:
I'll go ahead and take control of modifying the layout, since that does kind of fall under diorama design. I'm assigning a new building project in the next few days here, Toy Fair prevented it from being assigned this weekend. Since we know it will be 9 x 6 I'm going to start work on the blueprints.
-
Sounds great guys, Ryan please by all means modify the layout.
Also if it's going to be 6 x 9 - will we still have an entrance viewing area to it (like a cutout) - I'm not sure if we can?
For the wall, do you think it would be ok to make it modular? As in several pieces that can be rearranged once on site if necesary?
I could maybe do the wall area, and make several pieces for it. This is a crappy example pic, but what do you think of the texture looking something like this -
(http://www.yakface.com/toyguide/dioramas/chewie/ed05.jpg)
I made a wall from foamcore a while back that is about 10 inches tall, and is about 2 inches thick. It use it for photonovels, it kind of looks like concrete. I could maybe do a few of them that are 8 inches tall, and have a varied length - some a foot long, some two feet long, and so forth.
Thoughts?
:P
-
That looks good - in my opinion anyway. It looks like an industrial construction that was made quickly (constructed by the Empire when they came), and that's seen it's fair share of trouble.
And thanks for the update - that was really annoying...
I really wish we didn't have to make it 9x6 tho.
-
Smarty or whoever does the newsletters, make sure you still have me on the list please. I signed up twice already but only got like 2 letters total.
-
There have only been like two letters total...
-
Do you guys still chat? If so, on what days and times? I would like joint one if I have the time. Thanks
roron corobb
-
It has been awhile since the project "secretaries" have organized one. We need to have one at some point soon though.
-
I second that. The last chat we had, only about 4 people showed up.
-
Good luck there. I see no reason for a chat. We have nothing to discuss except to get people off their collective asses and start working. We need townspeople, droids, aliens and vehicles in a bad way.
