Calendar, Lead & Divisional Boards

Over the last few weeks GFC research division has been looking carefully and listening to members requests about updated info and greater direct access to it and officers.

Division Boards have been place around the sims for Personnel, CDO, Medical and the Academy at present, these boards show when members of that division are available and can be called directly by clicking on their picture if they are free and have signed into the board. This makes it easier for people to know who's available at a glance.

Board Scripter Richardjrn Weatherwax stands next the Division Boards

Also as an early test  a live GFC calendar of events and division lead lists has been place. The boards use web on a prim live shared media in V2/V3 compatible viewers like firestorm to show web based documents in world. Users who use V1 style viewers like phoenix wont be able to view web on a prim, instead you simply get a texture on the board which you click to be given a link to view the content in your web browser.

The calendar is the same as you see on this blog as is the division lead list, The lead list tracks which leads are in which positions and the calendar shows the times and dates of events happening. The advantage of using web based data is the speed of updates. The moment your  aware of new information it can be added without the need to even come in world, quick and easily, the latest info you put in will be ready to view almost immediately.

Division Boards can be found in the sandbox, outside the Academy, CDO, Quarks in DS19, Personnel and will be rolling out elsewhere around the sim with other divisions being added.

The calendar can be seen in the sandbox and the Division Lead List is available in the sandbox and outside the CDO office, other locations may be added later.

More items are in development which will push more information to the members and guests when they need its so watch this space.

Like last year I was just casually looking at the date, this time while working on my Researches General Meeting (GM) report when i noticed the specific a pattern 7/7/12, it looked familiar, what could it be, wait oh, hey, my rezz day, this day 6 years ago I downloaded some online virtual reality game thingumabob called Secondlife. Must have heard about it on the TV and give it a try.

Little did I know that 6 years later I would still be around. To celebrate, after the GM debbydo and Dave Fearguis decided to throw a little impromptu, worst kept secret party in quarks.

Even the linden sent me a happy rez day message and offered me a cake which i duly collected from the market and place on the bar.

Thanks to all those who came down and chilled out with us and hope you all had a good time, Until next year.

Happy Birthday America!

- Happy Birthday America -

Some of you may have spotted a couple of these signs plotted around the SIM the past week, that was your personal invite to Social Events Independence Day 4th of July Party, my that is quite a mouthful.

To say that it was a success is a somewhat understatement, it was a brilliant event and many many people turned up to join in with the fun. We at Social Events had worried that because it's such a massive day in America that GFC members would have more important parties to attend, we were wrong.

As you can see, we were lucky enough that both Thomas Aker and TimoL McMillan provided us with some impressive fireworks which came on display at 5pm SLT. It really was a brilliant lightshow!

Starting at 2PM SLT the party ran through until around 8PM SLT which for any GalacyFleetCommand Party is quite an impressive feat. 

A Special Thank You goes to Dave Fearguis and Snapper Desade for providing us with something to dance along to for the entire Party. Another Thank you goes to Thomas Aker who assisted me with Decorating the interior of the 5th pip for the event.

If you didn't already know there were free items available, if you have yet to pick yourselves up with a copy and still want to get one the decorations are still up, but only for a couple more days before I take them down. So pick up for free items while you still can!

Well, it was a great party and people seemed to have enjoyed themselves! I hope that if you did attend you had as much fun as I did. Thanks again to everyone who was involved, and I hope that we can all work together on more projects in future.

Elements unite, shadows gather

At DS19, we occasionally hold impromptu RP's. One of those RPs has started to lead a life of its own. Together with the Tow-Kath group, a bunch of us have started to explore a whole new side of roleplaying. See the summary below for more information!

Summary Tow-Koth / DS19 RP
29th of June 2012

Begin Starfleet log.

Commander Edward Auxifur, in command of the USS Gamese, met up with Mr. Vehrous, Doctor Scorpio and Mr. Falworth. The Gamese was on a mission to investigate some strange anomalies. When they got to the anomaly though, they detected an alien ship getting its energy from it. It was the same configuration as they saw the last time, when Commodore McMillan was posessed by one of those powerful aliens.

These shadow-beings hailed the Gamese, and only wanted one thing: Doctor Scorpio. She, along with Mr. Vehrous and Mr. Falworth, were changing. . . evolving, as a result of the illness they had, and the Azure Water they had taken after that.

The Gamese was able to flee from that powerful ship, but not before taking quite some damage. Back on DS19, they met up with Admiral Hellershanks and Commodore McMillan, to discuss what needed to be done now.

There, it was discovered that the changes Vehrous, Scorpio and Falworth were going through, weren't just random. They were evolving into 'elements', of some sorts. Beings of light, of energy, which were the direct opposite of the shadow beings they had encountered earlier. Scorpio seemed to have control over water, Vehrous over fire, and Falworth was the 'fifth' element: the spirit. Only the elements of earth and air were missing. If those were found, then the five of them could just be powerful enough to defeat those shadow beings, also called 'the ascendants'.

As it turned out, Auxifur and McMillan had been infected with the alien disease too. Falworth probed their minds, to see if they had it within him to transform into the light beings that could control the elements. Whether it was fate, chance or coincidence, nobody knew. . . but it seemed McMillan would be able to transform into a being to control air, while Auxifur would be able to transform into one controling the element Earth. That was, if they drank from the Azure water. If they did though, there would be no turning back.

It was a difficult decision to make, but ultimately both officers drank from the Azure water. As they gradually transformed, the group split into two, going to Tow-Kath in order to get a better understanding as to what exactly these five people were transforming into.

The trip there wasn't easy, since the group led by Admiral Hellershanks encountered the enemy ship again. They wanted Doctor Scorpio again, but they didn't say why. During this encounter, Auxifur made a horrific discovery: this ship actually fed off of black holes and similar anomalies. It was unlike any ship Starfleet had ever encountered.

Ultimately, the crew managed to beam down to Tow-Kath, while the enemy ship was still stuck in a black hole. There, Vehrous, Scorpio, Falworth, Auxifur and McMillan came together, and 'connected' with each other. All of a sudden their powers grew stronger, and they managed to send out a beam of light to trap the alien ship.

After that, they went back to DS19 for the night. But to say everyone would have a good night's sleep, was an understatment. Those who were changing, wondered what exactly they were changing into... and those who were not, worried about those who were...

End log.
Starfleet Command, out.
