'''The Election Night Hoopla II was held Sunday December 15th. It included all the candidates for interviews as well as Mesanna and Lord Kyronix. Lord Kyronix took some time to do an interview and interact with some of the candidates and reporters. Tahani(Andrasta) held the first interview and then it continues with Flair from Stratics. There was some good information put out and here is some of the transcripts from these conversations. Good information both on the community of Atlantic and the governor system and how it works so I hope you all enjoy.'''

<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: Mr. Kyronix your interview is this way<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: ok<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: the interviewer is ready<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: in the white area please<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Tahani</span>: *smiles*<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: Hello<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: Do I get to sit here?<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: Yayyy<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Yosef</span>: hello sir<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: Hello<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Yosef</span>: I am Yosef the miner<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Yosef</span>: nice to meet you<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: Nice to meet you as well<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Yosef</span>: I will be taking over Minoc next term<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: How exciting<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Tahani</span>: Welcome to Election Hoopla Night II<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: Excited to be here, thanks for the invitation<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: *smiles*<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Tahani</span>: I’m wondering how you feel about all this<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: Warm and Squishy<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: But that’s how I normally feel<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: *pokes self*<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Tahani</span>: they tell me you are the designer responsible for all this<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Tahani</span>: are you happy with the results?<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: So far I think it’s been exciting to see what players across all the shards have done<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: And I’m very happy with it, particularly when I see things like this<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: This is extraordinary<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: It purposely was left very open ended, because we wanted to see what players would do with it<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: From that it allows us to examine what needs to be changed<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: And what we can add moving forward<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Tahani</span>: This world has always been a world where creativity is the best part<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: Indeed<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Tahani</span>: all the Governors want to know<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Tahani</span>: how will you support them<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Tahani</span>: will you give them the tools they need to create this over and over?<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Tahani</span>: without grief?<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: It’s something we have to be very careful with<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: Because implementing something that is designed to prevent people from grieving<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: Can very quickly and unfortunately turn into a tool just to grief<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: That being said though, I think there were some great ideas from the global governor’s thread<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: And we’ll be looking to implement some of those in a future publish<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: The important thing to remember is this isn’t going to become abandonware<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: So we’ll be making updates so long as there is interest<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Tahani</span>: The Governors will put in extraordinary effort if you support them<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Tahani</span>: I think I can say that for all of them<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Tahani</span>: will you be adding more additions like Vesper’s stables?<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Tahani</span>: for other towns?<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: The requests portion of the system is something we’ve been kind of navigating our way through<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: And as you may suspect is a very popular feature<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: Something’s are pretty easy for us to do, others not so much<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: What appears to be simple on the surface, like removing some trees for example<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: is a little more complicated<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: Anything that is a worldbuilding change like that is always tricky<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: We are trying to find ways to streamline that process for the future<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: So we can get additions added to more cities in a more efficient manner<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: Since those changes are going to be across all shards anyway<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: The worldbuilding ones I mean, like the Vesper stables<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Tahani</span>: Will you be including the Player towns and other towns like Sepent’s Hold?<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Tahani</span>: we held this here for a reason<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: Player towns gets tricky<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: There are some that are strongly rooted in the shard and its history<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: And have become pillars of the shards very existence<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: Others come and go very quickly<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: That being said giving more for those in player towns to do is definitely something<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: That’s been kicked around before<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: One of the things that makes Britannia come alive<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: And adds such a unique feel to the shards<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: As for other NPC towns<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: Like Serp’s and the like<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: Where it’s appropriate given the current state of the Kingdom<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: Not sure the Sultan of Nujel’m would be keen to have a King’s Governor Stomping about his island<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Tahani</span>: but there are a lot of Player towns<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Tahani</span>: that have put in years of effort<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Tahani</span>: and would love to be included<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Tahani</span>: A lot has been said regarding the voting system<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Tahani</span>: will there be any more changes to it?<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: Sorry I missed that last question<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: What was it again?<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Tahani</span>: will there be any more changes to the voting system?<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: We’ll continue to see how things play out and if adjustments need to be made<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: We’ll make them<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: I saw there was a call for longer voting terms<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: erm governor terms rather<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: Which I think has some merit<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: So we’ll see how it goes<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Tahani</span>: *smiles*<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Tahani</span>: Any thought to Felucca?<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: For right now Felucca is under the jurisdiction of the faction warlords<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: So a King’s Governor doesn’t really fit there just yet<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: Depends how things play out in the future<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: *grins*<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Tahani</span>: *smiles*<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Tahani</span>: one last question Lord Kyronix<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Tahani</span>: and we’ll let you enjoy the evening<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: Go for it<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Tahani</span>: what would you like to tell us about the system<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Tahani</span>: perhaps new upcoming things?<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Tahani</span>: I need a scoop *grins*<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: Nothing to report just yet<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: Our next step is to kind of evaluate<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: What has gone on so far<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: And see what changes we can make, what tidbits we can pull from the Governors and citizens<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: As to what they would like to see<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: And then execute on a plan for the future<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Tahani</span>: I would like to say on my own behalf<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Tahani</span>: that it’s important that you don’t make everything the same<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Tahani</span>: each shard is proud of their own unique history<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Tahani</span>: it’s what make us love our shards<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Tahani</span>: I’ve been an Atlantean for 16 years<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Tahani</span>: our history is important to us<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: That’s great<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Tahani</span>: on behalf of all the citizens of Atlantic<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Tahani</span>: I’d like to thank you for your hard work Lord Kyronix<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: Well I can’t take all the credit<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Tahani</span>: I’m happy you get to come see it for yourself<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Tahani</span>: *smiles*<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: None of this would be possible without the tireless efforts of our Event Moderators<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: And of course you guys who participate in it<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: So a huge kudos to them and you all<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Tahani</span>: we appreciate all you have done as well *smiles*<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: Yayyyy<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Tahani</span>: you are free to go have fun *smiles*<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: Thanks for having me<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Tahani</span>: it was our pleasure<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Tahani</span>: *claps*<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: I like the white chairs<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Tahani</span>: Three cheers for Lord Kyronix?<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Tahani</span>: hehe thanks<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: Natural dyes?<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Tahani</span>: yes<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: Neat!<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Tahani</span>: that’s my best seller<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Tahani</span>: ok it’s time to turn the interviews over to Flair from Stratics<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Tahani</span>: Welcome Flair<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: Do you have more questions for me?<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: evening<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: we just thought you liked our chair<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: I think this is all awesomesauce<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: Pretttty<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: and how do you feel about how things were run?<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Queen Arya</span>: we are stronger<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Queen Arya</span>: as one<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Queen Arya</span>: and not divided<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Queen Arya</span>: so I stand behind the king<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Queen Arya</span>: but<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Queen Arya</span>: I am not a puppet<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: *nods*<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Queen Arya</span>: if there are things<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Queen Arya</span>: I don’t agree with<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Queen Arya</span>: he will hear me<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: So then tell Kyronix if you could change anything about the system what would you change?<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Queen Arya</span>: make elections<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Queen Arya</span>: the governorships<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Queen Arya</span>: Stratics<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Queen Arya</span>: more popular<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Queen Arya</span>: get them noticed<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Queen Arya</span>: more information<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Queen Arya</span>: needs to get out<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Queen Arya</span>: many still don’t know of it<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Queen Arya</span>: gates from Luna<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Queen Arya</span>: for the two week election period<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Queen Arya</span>: a chat channel<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Queen Arya</span>: for elections<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: That seems to be the hot spot this election cycle<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Lew</span>: I’m afraid to close to call at the moment<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: wow<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Lew</span>: yes Trinsic is a rising star<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Lew</span>: its community continues to grow<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Lew</span>: and the ranks for the Trinsic Wardens as well<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: Kyronix I’m sure things like this is what you like to see from the system?<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: Absolutely<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: Did you have something to add Solus?<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Solus</span>: Uh<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: So anyways…<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Kings</span>: can we look forward to some faction change in the upcoming publish?<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: Working on prototyping something right now<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Kings</span>: that’s cool<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: *looks to Kyronix*<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: Governor Lew would you like to ask something?<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Lew</span>: Kyronix have you ever considered a change to the vote rules to only allow one per 6+ month account period?<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: Across all shards?<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Lew</span>: I know there is no perfect system<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Lew</span>: aye<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Lew</span>: one vote per account period<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: Unlikely, at that point we have to get databases involved so that we can access that information<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: From across all shards like we do with housing<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Lew</span>: ahh understood<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: sounds difficult<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Lew</span>: Just thinking of ways to augment the system<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: I’d like to know what your thoughts are on these close races like Lew’s<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Lew</span>: to avoid the vote buying and such<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: exactly<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: I think close races are a great sign that there is interest<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: Makes things more exciting<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: *chuckles*<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: you have no idea<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: So Lew how do you feel about your close race…<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Lew</span>: I for one would like to thank you Kyronix, you brought life back to Trinsic<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: I know that in the past it hasn’t always been so<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Lew</span>: I enjoy the competition I just wonder where Norrington is?<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: I dunno<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: Excuse me a moment<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: I asked for him… perhaps he is busy<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">EM Bennu</span>: *psst Kyronix, tell them of our plans to turn Luna into a volcano*<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: I’ll be right back<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: Hello Solus..<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Lew</span>: Solus?<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Solus</span>: Helloooooo<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: How goes your race in Britain<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Solus</span>: Oh hello there<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: I have returned<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Solus</span>: My sword is poking you *winks*<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: I missed you…<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">EM Bennu</span>: Solus is gonna end up in the moat again.<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: *chuckles at Bennu*<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: Hello Bennu<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: Step up here and tell us Bennu<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">EM Bennu</span>: Howdy<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: Don’t be shy<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">EM Bennu</span>: Remember my short list sir. Luna = Volcano, and X level of elevation +50<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">EM Bennu</span>: *winks*<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">EM Bennu</span>: err, z level<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: *chuckles*<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: Well I live on the coast<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: I don’t think that’d do well for my garden *chuckles*<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: *chuckles*<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">EM Bennu</span>: We could call the xpack Ultima Waterworld!<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: So Bennu tell us have you been following the race in Trinsic?<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">EM Bennu</span>: Or.. Ultima Venice Edition.<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">EM Bennu</span>: *laughs*<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Lew</span>: with a collapsible sail?<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: *smacks Lew*<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: no boats<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">EM Bennu</span>: To be honest, to avoid conflicts when the elections hit I try and stay out of everything.<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: Ahhh<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">EM Bennu</span>: And let things fall where they will.<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: I understand<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">EM Bennu</span>: I don’t want to sound bad.<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: It doesn’t<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">EM Bennu</span>: But it avoids conflict, especially in races that are close.<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: It is extremely close in Trinsic]<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">EM Bennu</span>: If I came across as preferring one candidate over another, it would look bad.<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: and both are former governors<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">EM Bennu</span>: I just like to see how things work out in the end.<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: *nods*<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">EM Bennu</span>: I do know the Trinsic race is close.<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">EM Bennu</span>: And goes back and forth.<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: We see how you feel about Solus though…<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">EM Bennu</span>: Solus I fear is a necessary evil.<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">EM Bennu</span>: but it works out well.<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: Perhaps he should wear his swimming trunks instead of his armor<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">EM Bennu</span>: *grins*<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: *chuckles*<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Lew</span>: I actually rather enjoy that<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Lew</span>: he brings a fun level of roleplay<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">EM Bennu</span>: Exactly Lew<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Lew</span>: *glares at Solus*<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">EM Bennu</span>: Without conflict, things would be very boring.<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: I must admit… it was funny<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Lew</span>: *thinks did I just say that out loud*<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">EM Bennu</span>: I do need to figure out what we are doing for the holidays.<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">EM Bennu</span>: I have a reputation to think of.<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: although I heard Lew got off on his charges<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: Any thoughts on that…<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Lew</span>: I had a good defense council<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: *nods*<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">EM Bennu</span>: I think the King was relieved that Lew was found not-guilty.<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Lew</span>: as was Lew himself<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: My brother was his defense<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Lew</span>: it’s quite unnerving when you see a bloody head infront of you<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: I think everyone was<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: *nods*<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: I do have a question for Kyronix…<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">EM Bennu</span>: The King found himself split between his faith in the Governor, and what he saw as a mistake.<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: fire away<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">EM Bennu</span>: The trial was a necessity to settle the issue.<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: was this governors system intended as a rp system mostly to bring back communities<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: That was part of it<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: Trinsic was very very busy<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: the main goal was to provide a way for players to have a way to interface with the newly<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: crowned King of Britannia<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: We all know that for a long time the King was absent within the realm<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Lew</span>: aye<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: *nods*<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: Then we had a Queen. she didn’t last very long unfortunately<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: *nods*<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: And before that we had Casca<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: And that was a whole bag of terrible<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: *shakes head yes*<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: So when we finally had a true Britannian as our sovereign again<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: We wanted a way for that to be real for the players<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: And give them a way to see that he was a real part of the realm<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: *nods*<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: So the governor’s council was a conduit for the citizenry to do just that<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: this community has really grown and come together<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: because of this system… I’m sure your very proud of it<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: When it gives rise to great events like this<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: It’s really hard not to be<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: *grins*<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: *chuckles*<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">EM Bennu</span>: Seems like a success to me!<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: So Lew.. what grand plans are in the works should you win this battle?<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Lew</span>: we have a unique set of players there<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Lew</span>: my plan is always the same<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Lew</span>: to serve the citizens of Trinsic<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Lew</span>: I would like a carpenters shop in Trinsic<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Lew</span>: but I think that has been tabled<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: Khaleesi…jump up in here too<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: I’m sure you have lots of questions<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: running around<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Khaleesi</span>: Evening!<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: Since you are uncontested.. how do you feel about this election?<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Khaleesi</span>: Well it’s been a quiet week… *laughs*<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: and about Kyronix’s system<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: *chuckles*<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Khaleesi</span>: I was planning all sorts of stuff to campaign<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Khaleesi</span>: it’s part of the fun..<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">EM Bennu</span>: Looks like a nice mix of new and old with the election so far.<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: *nods it does*<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: I bet your excited to work with everyone<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">EM Bennu</span>: Maybe we can get Skara Brea their governor office this term.<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">EM Bennu</span>: *sticks his tongue out*<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: *chuckles*<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Khaleesi</span>: I want to thank you, Lord Kyronix and all who helped you<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: You’re welcome<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Khaleesi</span>: It has truly brought a wonderful touch to logging in every day<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: Yayyy<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">EM Bennu</span>: Alright, I am being called away by Mrs. Bennu.<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">EM Bennu</span>: Have a good night everyone.<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">EM Bennu</span>: Be nice to Kyronix, he is shy.<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Khaleesi</span>: Its truly brought the community out in front and I am projecting a Roleplay Revival this term<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Khaleesi</span>: *giggles*<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: night Bennu<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: Thanks for chatting with us<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: So you have been with this from the start Khaleesi…<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: Tell us how it has grown<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Khaleesi</span>: *nods*<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: and you thoughts for changes<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Khaleesi</span>: Well at the onset of this… the towns were barren… people seems to just go about their business<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Khaleesi</span>: and not really engage with one another<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Khaleesi</span>: *motions around the room tonight*<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Khaleesi</span>: This birthed from this I believe<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: *nods*<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Khaleesi</span>: People putting aside their differences<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Khaleesi</span>: and coming together for a cause<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: So then.. what would you add or change to the system?<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Khaleesi</span>: well there has already been some wonderful suggestions<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Khaleesi</span>: Keeping the towns unique..<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Khaleesi</span>: is definitely one high on my list and keeping things in line historically<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Khaleesi</span>: My biggest thing that I have encountered<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Khaleesi</span>: when doing events is the trouble with grievers<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Khaleesi</span>: I don’t know the easy answer to that but would be on top of my list<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: We have had trouble all night<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: * nods*<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Khaleesi</span>: Aye, as we have countless times<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Khaleesi</span>: hours of setting up to be ruined in five minutes<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: *nods*<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: Kyronix.. do you know exactly when the voting stops by any chance?<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: is it midnight EST?<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: It’s different for every shard<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: The way it works is the internal clock for the stones is not updated in real time<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: It’s on a one hour loop<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: ahh<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: Every hour it checks to see if it is later then the time for the election to end<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: it also does it on server up<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: ahh<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: so it depends<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: interesting…<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: never knew that really<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: I was curious<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: Doing anything in real time is expensive for the server in terms of resources<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: I’m sure<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: so we are hoping voting wraps up soon then<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: as it is still very heated in Trinsic<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: So Khaleesi… what events do you have planned<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: for this term<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Khaleesi</span>: Well let’s see<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Khaleesi</span>: We are planning a few things… that are in talks that I think will bring a unified front<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Khaleesi</span>: with all the towns and hope that it peaks some interest<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Khaleesi</span>: We will be starting the “Chicken Fight” extravaganza in January<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Khaleesi</span>: *smirks*<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Khaleesi</span>: We have had a lot of interest<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Khaleesi</span>: we are planning a lot of “Vesper” things as well with the Vesper Vanguard<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: nice<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Khaleesi</span>: of course Valentine’s day<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Khaleesi</span>: we will need some “volunteers”<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Khaleesi</span>: for our Date Night Auction<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Khaleesi</span>: *grins*<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: you see where Volunteering leads me too…<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: *chuckles*<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Khaleesi</span>: So stay tuned…<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Khaleesi</span>: I know there are many lined up for a date with you<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Khaleesi</span>: *winks*<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: *chuckles*<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: Seems like it’s slowing down a bit it’s late….<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: unless I am just that popular all of a sudden<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: *chuckles*<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: So Lew update us on Trinsic<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Lew</span>: it’s still just too tight to call<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Lew</span>: I’m hearing its 52.3 to 47.6<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: *nods*<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Lew</span>: I have a slight margin<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: close still<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Lew</span>: it will be till the stone cuts off<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Lew</span>: I have a question<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Khaleesi</span>: it’s not over till it’s over.. We know that from experience<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: Anyone else have any questions for Kyronix about our governors system<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Lew</span>: Kyronix<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: Yes?<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Lew</span>: how hard is it work on code so old<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Lew</span>: and well<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Lew</span>: crammed together<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: hehe<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: *chuckles*<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: It is definitely challenging at times<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Lew</span>: it must be a challenge<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Lew</span>: do you have any plans to let us ride a dolphin?<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: *chuckles*<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: Lew…<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: Hehe they tried that with sea horses<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Lew</span>: what<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: Didn’t work out too well<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Lew</span>: wait<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Lew</span>: PETA<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: *facepalm*<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Lew</span>: *looks around*<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Atlantic</span>: People Eating Tasty Animals?<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Lew</span>: hey I did not ask for dolphin steaks<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Atlantic</span>: JK<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Whitefire</span>: could companions ever come back into game<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Whitefire</span>: I was one<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: what an evening…<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Lew</span>: I doubt legal will allow that<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Whitefire</span>: one guy messed that up<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Lew</span>: I may need to get back to Trinsic<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: Not sure what you mean, companies coming back?<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: sometimes that is all it takes<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Lew</span>: Companions<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Khaleesi</span>: we were talking about that other night<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Whitefire</span>: companions to the young<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: *nods*<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: Ohhh<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: Companions<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Khaleesi</span>: Was very popular back in the early 2000s<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Whitefire</span>: yes<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: *chuckles*<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: he’s getting tired too<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Whitefire</span>: I was one<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Whitefire</span>: loved it<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Khaleesi</span>: *giggles and hands him two strong toothpicks for his eyes*<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Khaleesi</span>: these work great!<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Whitefire</span>: one wanted to get paid it folded<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: Hey Yosef.. get up here and chat with us… you’re a first time governor<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Lew</span>: three cheers for Yosef<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Yosef</span>: well hello there<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Khaleesi</span>: Yes Yosef, it’s not like you to be so quiet hehe<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: Tell us your experience with the system from a first time perspective<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Yosef</span>: *flex*<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Yosef</span>: if you don’t know people you can’t win<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: *chuckles*<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Daphnie</span>: that’s not true Yosef!<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Yosef</span>: *laughs*<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: well come on up here and chat with us too then<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: aren’t you running in Moonglow<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Daphnie</span>: yes sir<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: Tell us about your experiences<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Daphnie</span>: I’m sort of new to Atlantic<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Daphnie</span>: so I went the route of reaching out to passersby within the city<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Daphnie</span>: asking for support, talking about plans to bring people back to the city<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Khaleesi</span>: *nods*<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: and how did you find our community?<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Daphnie</span>: Julianna introduced me to Quack and then I met the amazing community of Atlantic<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Daphnie</span>: and Khaleesi<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: Well it has been so much fun talking with you tonight<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: But I must take my leave<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: Well thank you so much for joining us tonight<br/><br/>
<span style="color:purple;">Kyronix</span>: good luck to all the candidates<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Khaleesi</span>: Thank you for your time, Kyronix<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Yosef</span>: *bye*<br/><br/>

<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: wow<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: very cool…<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: *chuckles*<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Khaleesi</span>: Thank you Flair<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: Give everyone here credit… it takes a very large group to put this on<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: and the candidates<br/><br/>
<span style="color:lightblue;">Flair</span>: Things like this happen with the whole community

'''This was a fun night for all. I will say that this transcript was edited for spelling and the like and I know there are a few holes in it but no one is perfect. I hoped that I brought you all the bulk of the information and I would like to personally thank everyone involved with this evening and Mesanna, Lord Kyronix, and EM Bennu for coming out and joining us and participating. Until next time….'''
