Transcript of announcement May 22nd

by maxxie - May 23/98

Please review the transcript of the announcement the Hotel management made on May 22nd at 6pm WAT in the Lobby. Please also read the comments on the announcement in the next article. Basic outcome is that Hotel Silicon will be changed into a "gaming world" with commerical content. As for the Server being wiped and a $ 49.95 charged to everyone I'm not sure if those were sarcastic remarks or not.

Lady Avalon: wet slobbery kisss...or the basement
Valet Robert: A company BM
Rowaena: LOL
WA Representative: either will we attempt to provide an option similar to the Hallway experience
WA Representative: OR
WA Representative: we will banish those who disrupt this project.
WA Representative: IF we can do the first we will.

Grippen I: disrupt == break TOS?
Lady Avalon: Hallway experience....I'm sorta slow.....what do you mean?
Rough Rider: With a full refund of course<grin>
Rough Rider: TOS=Take Off Shoes before entering..new carpet?
WA Representative: but we will not hesitate to bring this project into a reasonable and respectible form of conduct.
Rowaena: Yup, was wondering that too Lady A
WA Representative: Terms of Service
Ðarksider Vicious Varla: do we get treated reasonable and respectible, too?
WA Representative: What you all skipped over when you signed up.
Rowaena: Hehe
Ðarksider Vicious Varla: or do we just have to abide?
Grippen I: Not me <jump>
FloridaMan: i read it<react>
Valet Robert: You will have to abide
Lady Avalon: I believe most do.....? Follow TOS...don't they?
Valet Robert: That is what enforce means
Ðarksider Vicious Varla: sure
Rowaena: Most <grin>
Ðarksider Vicious Varla: but how about the other way around?
Grippen I: But what does "disrupt this project" mean?
Rough Rider: It seems the rules were written more to benefit FSBA than the paying customers...care to comment on that?
WA Representative: Quite frankly there is a short list of customers who like to cause disruption of this project.
Grippen I: If I don't violate TOS, can I still "disrupt this project"?
Valet Robert: Breaking the TOS = Disrupt
FloridaMan: what if we never aftually agreed we went to a link that was after that<react>
Lady Avalon: LOL FM
WA Representative: We have absolutely no interest in a debate about this project with those individuals.
WA Representative: the huge majority of customers are never a problem here at all
WA Representative: we thank all of those for your patience and your emails

Grippen I: So the answer is yes?
WA Representative: we will rectify this situation
Lady Avalon: *this project* and *those individuals*....hmmmm. where have *I* been <shrug>
WA Representative: and we will banish accounts if necessary
Rowaena: YOu missed the fun Lady A? <grin>
Lady Avalon: lol
Lady Avalon: not sure exactly who is *who* anymore Row
WA Representative: So now that I am done looking at my fingers on the keyboard,
FloridaMan: lol
WA Representative: I will take questions about these announcements.
Ðarksider Vicious Varla: would you care to comment about about 50 people called yesterday, then?
WA Representative: sure
WA Representative: those people were heard and some of there names were referred to our legal department for review

Lady Avalon: Mr. Rep...no questions.....just want to thank everyone for the fun time I've had here .....
Grippen I: What kind of review, and why?
Lady Avalon: thanks all
WA Representative: thank you
Lady Avalon: <wave>
Ðarksider Vicious Varla: great, was that the answer? or is ther emore to come?
WA Representative: some of those calls involved legal issues
Rough Rider: Gonna miss ya Avalon<jump>
WA Representative: which of course I cannot comment on
Ðarksider Vicious Varla: i don't want details about legal issues
Ðarksider Vicious Varla: but i would sure like to hear what you think about the complaints <shrug>
FloridaMan: how many were about JP?<react>
FloridaMan: 100% or 99%?
Rough Rider: LOL
Redwood: lol@FM
WA Representative: I think that some are valid and some are clearly not.
WA Representative: and others were beyond what is acceptable in civilized society

Ðarksider Vicious Varla: and what is going to happen about the ones that were "valid"?
WA Representative: therefore the legal issues
WA Representative: I will not comment on that Varla.

Valet Robert: Madness asks that you explain the "Gaming Alley" in more detail
Ðarksider Vicious Varla: great answer
Ðarksider Vicious Varla: thankyou so much
WA Representative: If my previous statement is not clear then I invite you to exercise your right as a consumer.
Grippen I: So you're saying play it your way or leave?
WA Representative: Sorry but I do not have more on Gamers Alley except to say that we will have both inworld and URL linked games.
WA Representative: Each and every month, each and everyone of you makes a decision about this product
WA Representative: I have just told you that it will change
WA Representative: i expect that will effect some of your decisions

Valet Robert: Magenta sorry he can't unblock ESP and keep up with what is being said down here
FloridaMan: Change is bad said so on Hershey add<shrug>
Rough Rider: What is Fujitsu's opinion on customer satisfaction? And why don't they have a valid phone number for customer service?
Ðarksider Vicious Varla: we heard a lot about your so-called project
Ðarksider Vicious Varla: but not very much about the issues *we* are concerned about
Rowaena: Who is we?
WA Representative: Varla, I'm sorry I mean Judy, do you really think that the other residents here are not on to your game?
Rowaena: Welcome ghostie <grin>
Grippen I: We are the paying customers, that's all <grin>
WA Representative: You are partners in this world
FloridaMan: can we get a T-shirt then?
FloridaMan: <grin>
Rowaena: LOL
Grippen I: Then why do you tell us to vote with our wallet?
WA Representative: you support it with payment and many of you with time and energy
Ðarksider Vicious Varla: judy? huh?
Ðarksider Vicious Varla: i'm confused now
Ðarksider Vicious Varla: who are you talking to?
Ðarksider Vicious Varla: judy or me?
WA Representative: and yes we hope you do vote with the wallets
Rowaena: He's talking to the *we* <grin>
Rowaena: PF <jump><grin>
Rowaena: Dunno Tess <grin><grin>
Grippen I: Morden, sorry, I'm not a regular here
WA Representative: Let me say that again, we want you to vote with your wallets.
Rowaena: If you want to be I suppose <grin>
WA Representative: This is the world we are going to offer and support.
Redwood: give us yours and we will vote all you want to
WA Representative: We are clearly lloking for customers who like it here.
Grippen I: Okkies ... I'll vote with my wallet
Grippen I: No new account for me <grin>
FloridaMan: My wallet says Freedom of speach
Valet Robert: WA Judy says she is not Varla
Grippen I: Judy isn't Varla
Ðarksider Vicious Varla: and i am not judy <shrug>
Ðarksider Vicious Varla: geeez
Grippen I: Judy is in the clouds
Redwood: iam not judy either
Rowaena: <G>
WA Representative: Folks reality check here.
Valet Robert: Your Obbsession wants to know why we need more Valets (babysitters)
Grippen I: I have just been convinced, by the in here made statements, that I do not want a Silicon Hotel account
WA Representative: The world we propose to offer will have more valets, I think that is a clear statement of our intention.
FloridaMan: this isn't reality it's Virtual Reality<shrug>
Grippen I: So I will excercise my "right as a customer"
Valet Robert: Obsession I think your question answers itself
Redwood: intention for what
Redwood: what about more vendo items
WA Representative: Grippen I --please exercise that right now.
Redwood: change them
Grippen I: Why do you say that? <grin>
Redwood: lower turf prices
Redwood: more tokens
FloridaMan: more items
Redwood: lets talk reality
Rowaena: Less jumping jacks on the wallss
WA Representative: Because we are making a clear statement about what we will offer here and if that is not what you want then it is appropriate for you to leave and allow others to enjoy this place.
WA Representative: that is what TOS enforcement will be about

Grippen I: So you don't want me as a customer?
Grippen I: WHAT????
WA Representative: Have I not been clear?
Redwood: are you jp in disguise
Grippen I: What has TOS to do with me wanting to stay in here??
WA Representative: any more questions about the announcements?
Grippen I: Please emphasize
Redwood: you dont sound like you care much for the ones you have here
Valet Render: none
FloridaMan: hey ghosts if ya got a question 4 him send it through me if ya need to
Valet Robert: Madness asks will the "Gaming Alley" be a locale?
FloridaMan: is there gonna be a new Concierge to take JP's Place?
WA Representative: a series of locales
WA Representative: Claudette and Gisele will be consulted about that first I think

FloridaMan: yeah, does he want a world with only valets in it?
Grippen I: Am I violationg TOS by being in here?
FloridaMan: Can you smile?
Valet Robert: Unbeliever asks if you can reprise because he got here late
WA Representative: sure

WA Representative: that about covers it
Redwood: you dont care about us
FloridaMan: will the announcements be posted somewhere
Redwood: maybe robots will come in
WA Representative: OK thanks for your time
Rowaena: Question from clouds: So this is not going to be a role playing world but a "gamer's" world?
WA Representative: have a good weekend
Ðarksider Vicious Varla: JP, do you really think its neccessary to change your avi name for this announcement and treat us the same rude way you always do?
