Alright. Here it is. The official DEA InterServer Agenda for the upcoming meeting on 8 December, 2003. The time is 8 p.m. EST / 5 p.m. PST / 1 a.m. GMT. The location is server Ahazi, Vreni Island, Corellia (site of the last meeting). For those of you who did not attend the meeting or are unaware on how to attend, it's quite simple. Just create a temporary character (with your main DE character's name, or Forum name, or both) on the server Ahazi. From there you can eitehr earn up the credits needed to fly you out to Vreni Island (10 minutes, just do a survey mission) or contact myself in-game (Woodrow) with the exact amountand I'll hotwire you the money.

Now, once you are on the server, there will be a channel set up throughout the day called "DEA" (SWG.Ahazi.chat.DEA). That will be the official chat channel for the meeting. Unfortunately it will be moderated so that only official speakers can talk on it, but if you are busy and want to just 'listen in' then you can tune into that. If you'd like to chat with yoru fellow DEs then just show up a little early to the meeting, as there is usually a crowd of them before hte meeting starts. If you don't know how to join a chat channel, You'll find instructions at the bottom of this thread.

Now, for the official Agenda (Subject to last minute changes without notice)

1) Introductions: Going to give a big shout out to a few people who are revolutionizing the profession and/or theDEA.

2) General Q and A: Again an uncoordinated forum where people are welcome to ask questions and get answers. Hopefully my chat channels will be a bit more 'coordinated' this time so I can get questions out better than last time.

3) Open speech slot: This slot is open if anyone would like to give a quick speech concerning the profession. Just send me an in-game email or a PM on these forums with details.

4) Drashk's Speech: Drashk has kindly offered to give us a few minutes speech on the subject of what's been happening on the Test Centre.

5) Woodrow's surprise: Got a few interesting things to talk about. But I'm saving the speech till last asthe stuff that's happening israther big and interesting.

6) closing speech: This slot is open if anyone would like to give a quick speech concerning the profession. Just send me an in-game email or a PM on these forums with details. If not, then this will be the concluding minutes of the meeting.

Oh, yeah, and I guess I should mention (after so many requests), Sintrosi has promised a cameo appearance andwill attend the meeting. No word yet on if the Sintroster will give a speech or not, but unless anything goes hideously wrong all of you will finally get the chance to meet our correspondant in-game face-to-face.

Alright. That should do it. Any questions/comments/concerns please ask me or post them here. No heated arguments on this thread, please, concerning any meeting topics though. This is purely informative and idea-building

Instructions for joining a chat channel.

You have two options. The first one is to just right click on the 'Spatial' tab of your chat channel and press 'modify tab' From there, press the 'join chat channel' button in the bottom left corner of the new window that pops up, then locate the DEA chat under Ahazi-chat-DEA. Join that channel, then go back to the first window that popped up and move the chat channel "DEA" from the left list to the right.

The secont method is also pretty simple. right click on the "Spatial" tab and press "New Tab". then Left Click on the new tab that is created, then drag it off the top of the chat bar. Once you've done that, right click on it and press 'modify tab'. Then go through the steps above for this tab as well.

Alright, that should do it. And remember, Keep crafting mateys!

-Message ends

For those who aren't aware (I wasn't), Vreni Island is on Corellia and has its own Shuttleport. It's not a starting city, though, so you'll have to create your character in one of the other cities on Corellia and fly to Vreni Island. We generally have a "Follow me to the DE meeting" droid on patrol from the Vreni Island Shuttleport to the meeting site, too, so finding the meeting doesn't even require a waypoint.

Any idea if Sintrosi will be coming as a boy or a girl?

We can take a vote on it if you like

Just created myself on Ahazi. Started in Tyrena, Corelliaand shuttled to Vreni Island for 242c from the starport. So no need to go run missions or beg for money to get there. Just be sure to start in Tyrena and you'll be fine.

Uh, yeah, but that means you'll be there in your newbie threads! How embarrasing!!! Send tell to Alexia, Master Tailor, on Ahazi once you get some $$$.

Hey, this time for the group photo we all get out droids out -- not that I have one, but whatever.

So everyone is to get out their MSE droids bought off the bazaar?

Newbie threads reflect the status of our profession

Just wished to give this a hefty bump as the day draws closer.

I too wish to bump. Ooops! Just did. COME TO THE MEETING AND SEE ERICTHEGREAT AKA LIZARD WITH NO PANTS!

I'm glad you're doing this again so soon after the last one. I tried to make it to the last one, but had some things going on. Hopefully I'll be free to log on. Already at Vreni Island auditoreum, same toon, Mabinogi Ariacson, same newbie threads
