Ruuk Haviser - Retired  |
*steps on soapbox* Well, it seems as though a lot of people had RL issues to contend with. Hence, there were very few attendees at our much publicized Holocron meeting: only myself, Bubu, and Exar. Do I sound a little irritated? I'm sorry. Let me just say that I'm a little disappointed.  I've tried very hard to accomodate and give everyone enough time (2 weeks) to organize their schedules. Although this _is_ only a game, you could consider this a "trial run" (if you will) for RL. Make mistakes here, and you aren't going to get bad school grades. Nor are you going to get fired from your job. Just think of this as some practice. And, boy! If I'm the coach, than some of you need to run some laps!!  Since I'm a little older than most of you (32) I have a little more experience juggling RL stuff. And frankly, I can remember what it was like when I was yer age. I could have - no, would have - very easily been on the other side of the fence. I don't think I knew where my _brain_ was half the time, let alone remember a meeting. So, let's just consider this a lesson learned, shall we? *steps off soapbox* Ok, now that I'm done chastising everyone...  below, I have provided the meeting log for yer perusal.The main decision coming out of this truncated meeting was the following: unless DJ has complications with this, I have decreed (with unanimous agreement from those in the meeting) that the Holocron will be handed over to DJ in 2 weeks. If some of the sections are not complete, we will go forward without them. "Under construction" will be the going phrase for those sections. We'll have to put them in sometime at a later date. Any questions, gisjedi@hotmail.com. -rh <Ruuk> let me look over bubu's stuff... <Ruuk> i'll be back in a sec <Bubu|JAT|> k <Ruuk> i'd like to suggest something... <Ruuk> the pictures of the ja from the maps are cool... <Bubu|JAT|> yeah <Ruuk> but, they don't really show you what it looks like when you _enter_ the place. <Bubu|JAT|> true <Bubu|JAT|> so you're suggesting pics from the door? <Ruuk> well... <Ruuk> i guess maybe so. <Ruuk> reason: <Ruuk> at least my reasoning: <Ruuk> you have a new person coming in... <Ruuk> they want to be able to feel comfortable with where they are. <Ruuk> for _us_ those pics rock. <Bubu|JAT|> yeah i see what you mean <Ruuk> but, i dunno if it is what you need for a newbie. <Bubu|JAT|> what about the council room... pic from the spawn point? <Ruuk> yeah. <Ruuk> that would be good. <Bubu|JAT|> i can put in more than one pic.. more angles <Ruuk> was just thinking that. <Ruuk> yeah <Bubu|JAT|> yeah <Bubu|JAT|> ok /me makes a note <Bubu|JAT|> do <Bubu|JAT|> DOH <Bubu|JAT|> lol <Ruuk> lol <Bubu|JAT|> anywho <Ruuk> let me see. <LordExarKun|JAK> sjeesh, where is every1 :'( <Ruuk> is the demo the same? <Bubu|JAT|> i know! <Bubu|JAT|> yeah it is <Ruuk> ok <Bubu|JAT|> you want my entire presentation? <Ruuk> you go girl. <Bubu|JAT|> lol <Bubu|JAT|> ok <Bubu|JAT|> SHIT <Bubu|JAT|> that was scary <Ruuk> uh, oh <Bubu|JAT|> my lightbulb blew up <Ruuk> just _that_? <Ruuk> crap. <Ruuk> i thought you lost the whole thing or something. <Bubu|JAT|> it scared the crap outta me <Bubu|JAT|> lol <Bubu|JAT|> no <Ruuk> ...important... <Bubu|JAT|> hold on <Ruuk> lol <Ruuk> k <Bubu|JAT|> ok <Ruuk> ... <Bubu|JAT|> *BEGIN TRANSMISSION* <Bubu|JAT|> http://ja.here.ws Is all my work so far.

Exactly, Bubu. Exar, we want this to be a little more interactive so it will indeed be linked to the JA. Each section will have a page of its own linked to a table of contents. MoS, you told me you weren't going to be there and gave me an update of what was going on, so that was to be expected. Paintball...frankly, I don't blame you! As for you other guys...  ...nah, just kidding. Hey: nobody died, right? Let's just make sure we keep the ball rolling for the next 2 weeks and get a chance to see the _result_ of our work.-rh _______________ Back from the dead...

Hmm... I thought I could come actually as the only thing I was going to do was going to the matrix at 9.30 but that one was sold out so we had to go to the early movie... anyways I thought enough ppl would come coz in the first meeting me and 4/5 others were there and this one was announced much earlier... well, not that ya could of used my help too much anyway but this was just a one on one conversation But anyways... About the little amount of things that were said in the meeting I dont have much to add to it... only that I agree with the release but how are you going to release it? a website? a big document? or...? _______________ ~~ Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none! ~~ This comment was edited by Cyb on May 18 2003 11:32am. |

Well, I ditched you all for paintball. But not just any paintball, oh no. I got to play for the first time in about 5 months AND test out my new gun. So...I felt bad at first, then I played and would have sold the entire Academy for another case of paint, and now I'm back to feeling kinda bad. Thank you to everyone who did show up. Also, Ruuk, I'm glad that you agree we need to get things done fast. Making a Version 1 deadline was a wise idea. If anyone needs help with their sections, get it! _______________ Jedi Academy Holocron http://jaholocron.ryanmh.com/ Why should our government send our soldiers to foreign soil to protect freedom of speech, when our freedom of speech is being taking away everyday by the same government. |
