Let me set the scene...

Victor links in.
I get a message that Cate just came online.
I check my Ki and shes sitting in Nexus
Victor is STILL in Ae'gura (oh I forgot to mention...the specials guys are NOT included in that 40)

...Youd think shed link in right and OH you are here kind of thing but she waited...

Victor Links out to his relto
Cate stage Courtyard!!
goes off about GZ and Victor forced to work over the weekend
Ji'm says "Hes in the Bevin"
Cate acknowledges and POOF!

Both are Ki seen in said Bevin (not sure which, its a private one)

and double poof.

Thats one well staged scene that I cant WAIT to see what happens next

And I still didn't see a KI on her hand... :shock:

In the immortal words of Queen Victoria: "We are not amused."
Cate is obviously pushing the DRC beyond reason and/or safety; I hope her business tactics don't result in someone getting hurt for accessing an Age that was opened before it was safe.
(I don't think Laxman is slacking; the poor guy seems to be working 24/7.)

It's a clue! Why would Yeesha's daughter need a KI?

I think the Devs are having fun with us now. Nothing like a conflict to draw people in.

Was anyone else who was present at Cate's apperance, and in the crowd around her, unable to hear her? I could hear what everyone was saying to her and I could see her well enough to get a pretty good picture of her face, but I couldn't hear a word she said.

Thank you for posting the chatlog. What I was hearing make sense now.

What I am MORE upset about tonight - not the slipped dates - the fact that main instance Ae'gura was inaccessable again in early evening. When will we have cavern capacity improved? I was FINALLY able to link in during early evening, just happened to hit the Nexus when action was going down, and I had to rely on neighbor's relayed comments as to what was happening. Better than nothing (BIG thanks, UO neighbors!!) but it's kinda unsatisfying. Maybe we should call it "Ur almost there?"

Before the word spread that Laxman was in the City there were only nine people in the main instance.

I begin to wonder if the planned release of the GZ as well as the new age are intentionally delayed for plot reasons. There is the possibility, no?

It's also convienient to be able to use storyline to cover for delay. I find no shame in that...it's better than just not meeting them.

That or the plot changes to accomodate things.

on the subject of safety: watson was all safety all the time, and yet a wall managed to fall on phil henderson right in the city. we all know what the risks are.

Stevecrox · **Posted:** Wed Jan 10, 2007 3:07 pm

Not met Cate but I like her already. Everyone normally is pushing for quicker age releases and here we have a business manager, someone who if i understand is playing the role of an operations manager and is pushing the team forward. People are now unhappy in an IC sense that she may be pushing the project forward at the risk of safety!

Got to get into the cavern more

MustardJeep · **Posted:** Wed Jan 10, 2007 3:33 pm

No matter how she's meaning to play it with us in the community Cate is definitely coming across as a bit of a pistol. I get the feeling after reading the transcripts it's going to be a cold day in gira before a explorer can catch her on a question, and get a unintended answer.

Still never hurts to try just remember don't make it easy with yes/no questions.

Good Question

Cate, what can you tell us about the progress on <insert past Cate hint> now?

Bad Question :cry:

You mentioned before that you wanted <insert past Cate hint> finished this week, still on track?

Shandi.ni.Kayara · **Posted:** Wed Jan 10, 2007 3:37 pm

On the subject of Dr. Watson and Phil - Phil was spreading thoughts that were not exactly DRC friendly. There are so many questions around that incident.

Did the wall fall or was it helped along in any way?

Why was Phil unable to Panic Link away - I've heard the stories that he didn't have a Relto book. How did that happen? I've tried to leave mine on my desk, yet it remains faithfully at my side.

I am not sure if Phil's incident can be laid at the feet of a lapse in safety.

Cate, frankly that sounds exactly how the DRC often says to ask a different member. Of all people you should know effective leaders don't pass the buck. We're asking you. If you are the leader you put on the airs to be, you'll already have the information and you'll answer directly. Here and now.

You'll have to act fast, folks. Like I said, she's in and out like a missile strike. She wants to be in long enough to give the orders and out fast enough to avoid the questions.

Here are a few phrases to concentrate on with her for now:

- Hit-and-run visit
- Missile strike management
- Pass the buck philosophy
- "I don't have time for this" situational escapist artist

People, we need talking points up front so that our defenses are prepared for her to strike at any moment.

Ahh, but let us not forget, she isn't the leader at all. She is just the financial benefactor, who "has some clout" within the DRC, but she's definitely not our leader...

A very interesting log, though. Cheers for that

Phil's book was taken from him, that is why he didn't have it. Also, from old threads I've been reading it was reported that shortly before the accident one of the DRC members yelled out 'don't try that link it hasn't been tested.
