Arsène: ok we can begin the meeting
Arsène: welcome everybody
Arsène: I hope you are well
MeL: purdy good ty, hope you are also
Arsène: We have a very sad news today :(
MeL: -_-
Arsène: Last night I heard that our poor Mondo passed away :(
MeL: yeah :(
Generic: :(
Arsène: Last year he won the building contest
Arsène: and everybody thought we found the good person for the Lz
Arsène: Do you know how old he was ?
MeL: 75
Arsène: oh I thought younger
MeL: had no health issues
Arsène: ah
Arsène: Mel do you have some news to share or do you want to say something for Mondo ?
MeL: Ive heard some people talk , about how they would like the current LZ to stay for awhile longer in honor of Mondo
Arsène: yes I heard too
MeL: mondo gram on the 27th of may, saying he was sick and shaking and then left... I didnt think nothing of it but,
Arsène: we have to talk about it all together
MeL: after awhile, I begin to worry and finally called the police where he lives and ask them to do a wellness check,, they did.. they found him
Arsène: :(
Arsène: Does he have family ?
MeL: since iam not family, they coudlnt tell me much but, they looking for next of kin. and then they will give my info the next of kin and ask them to call me
Arsène: he has
MeL: most are dead.. he has 1 nephew.. somewheres
Arsène: ok
Arsène: thank you Mel for all you did
MeL: he didnt stay in touch with his nephew.. never talked about him.. so I dont know what they will fine
Generic: condolences, mel
MeL: police can do a better invesgation
MeL: nods
Arsène: yes I hope they will contact you later
Ko Toff: It would seem to me that since you were the one to ask for the wellness check Mel , you were family, might be virtual but still family of sorts
MeL: I do too.. or I will contact the police there again
ShadowG: back and hi derrick
Arsène: I agree Ko Toff
MeL: yeah but, police dont see it that way =)
Generic: wb
MeL: wb
ShadowG: t
ShadowG: ty
ShadowG: ty
Derrick W: Hi Arsene
MeL: mondo was a private person, ask me to Not let his info outm which I will respect that.. but, if / when a obit comes out or a newspaper clippin... I will let the community know
Arsène: now what about the contest, do we have to stop or continue ? Mondo registered his project
MeL: he has a build but, its not finished
Arsène: Thank you very much Mel, if you find something in papers
MeL: of course
Arsène: right mel
MeL: some wants the cuirrent LZ to take a little longer.. others might not feel that way.. its up to you, Arsene and the other builders I suppose
MeL: take = stay
panne: hi wolvie
Wolvie: hi panne
Arsène: yes first I would like to know what people think in general this evening
Arsène: Hi Wolvie :) Welcome
MeL: well even if you continue.,. the new LZ wont take place till next year anyways
Wolvie: hi Arsene, and everyone
ShadowG: hi wolvie
MeL: that leaves the current one for a bit longer
Arsène: I agree to keep the current Lz longer
Generic: yes, agree
MeL: by the time this conest is over, a New LZ wont be put into place till Jan 2024 right?
ShadowG: it is near the end of june now, and there is still many months we can enjoy the current lz that mondo built
MeL: yes
ShadowG: we would have until january to enjoy his lz
Arsène: Mel I have only 1 registration without Mondo
MeL: right Shadow
MeL: ok
ShadowG: in a sense, i agree that some may see it as unfair to hold off their work
MeL: a new LZ at the beginning of the year will be refreshing, - time to move on...
ShadowG: yes
Arsène: ok
MeL: so continue with the contest arsene
ShadowG: and i believe mondo would agree with that, i would like to think he would
MeL: what do others say?
Wolvie: 1 registration, for the gz contest?
MeL: yes shadow
Arsène: wolvie at this point but we have 5 months more
Arsène: people can register until september 17th
Wolvie: okay, surprising still
panne: well the fact is that the way of "building" has changed enormously
Generic: probably some procrastinators out there
Arsène: yes I am sure we will have at the end of registration period
Wolvie: I'm guilty of that
Arsène: :))
Generic: :)
Arsène: We could wait until the end of registration first to see what happend
Arsène: if we have more participants
Generic: seems the best way to proceed
Arsène: ok
Arsène: we could do a memorial in aw for Mondo
Wolvie: what do you mean a memorial?
ShadowG: wolvie, mondo passed away
Arsène: I mean somewhere to put messages
Wolvie: really?
Wolvie: when?
ShadowG: yes
Arsène: oh yes sorry Wolvie you didnt know yet ?
ShadowG: we arent sure yet. still waiting on news
Ko Toff: He should get a marker near the first GZ with the others that are there
Generic: yes, that's a very nice spot
Generic: with the eternal flames
Wolvie: hmm, now I see why mention of leaving gz as is for longer
ShadowG: how many participants are there in the contest so far?
panne: 1
Arsène: right now we have 1
ShadowG: omy
Arsène: :(
Wolvie: so was this very recently he passed? I've not been on
Generic: there are the other memorials around 9550n 18800e
Arsène: ah thank you generic
MeL: wolvie, you can read about it here, https://forums.activeworlds.com/read.php?5,369380
panne: it has been posted in the facebook and the forum yesteday that mondo had passed away
Generic: yes
Arsène: thank mel
Arsène: is there anybody who want to do the memorial ?
Generic: mel should definitely be in charge, if she will
Wolvie: I'm so sorry
MeL: of what Generic, hah
panne: i think that lady pippin did that since a few years back, but she became ill last year as well
Generic: the memorial
Arsène: yes Wolfie it is so sad
Wolvie: was it covid possibly?
MeL: I havent build one of them in many years. suppose I can
MeL: we dont know yet, wolvie
Generic: like riding a bicycle, mel
MeL: they wont tell anybody anything unless you are a family member
MeL: hhah
Wolvie: thank you for checking on him, even if it was too late
Lady FireHeart: did mondo have family?
Arsène: Mel do you agree to do the memorial for Mondo ? I can help if needed
MeL: ok sure... where?
Arsène: around the currend Lz maybe
MeL: most of his family is dead.. he only had 1 sister and she died years ago.
MeL: ok
Lady FireHeart: oh wow
MeL: he has a nephew, but, Iam not sure where
Lady FireHeart: ok brb again
Arsène: Mel if you agree try to find a good place in or around the currend Lz for the memorial and ask Chris to erase ground to build
Generic: k
Wolvie: tell you the truth, it might be better to skip a year of the gz contest
MeL: the memorial will be a ways off from the current LZ.. mondo cover quiet a bit of land
Ko Toff: does anyone have a list of all the landing zones and what period they served as the primary landing zone?
MeL: ok Arsene
Arsène: wolvie we will wait next meeting in september to decide
Arsène: thank you Mel, dont hesitate to ask if you need help
Generic: Mondo had links at his LZ, but I don't remember dates, Ko Toff
MeL: others are thinking the same Wolvie but, by the time this round of the contest is done, a NewLZ wont be in effect till jan 2024... so that leaves the curent LZ for a bit longer
MeL: his new one, Generic ?
MeL: its not finished
MeL: but, here is the cords 6633.74N 14953.25E 0.92a 316
Generic: yes, he had links to the old LZ's in one of his pavilions
MeL: ohh
Arsène: thank you for the coord Mel I will give them again in the forum next week
Ko Toff: I am thinking it would be nice to include a "Portal of Time" room in the new landing zones that allow users to visit past LZ's
MeL: sure, just note,, its not finished
Arsène: ok
MeL: good idea Ko Toff
Generic: yes
Ko Toff: I will replicate it on one of my builds, if I can get the information
Arsène: ok good
MeL: I dont know which one but, there is a building at the current LZ mondo put teleports to diff worlds and past LZ's
MeL: he made me test the teleport =)
Arsène: yes mel near the entry point
Arsène: or first we wait the next meeting on september 17th to decide for the building contest this year and building a memorial for Mondo
Arsène: ok
MeL: I will start on the memorial,, err find a place for it
Arsène: Mel dont speed yourself take your time
MeL: nods'
Arsène: thank you for your efforts Mel it is cool
MeL: =)
