Kyronix	Hello!
Vincent Vega	Thank you for a great game!
Vincent Vega	I got 1 question
Mesanna	Thank you for playing
Mesanna	sure
Vincent Vega	Thanks
Vincent Vega	played long time :)
Vincent Vega	my question is
Vincent Vega	would it be possible to get some uniq color for virtue towns
Vincent Vega	"governor" citys
Vincent Vega	???
Mesanna	one sec
Mesanna	talking
Vincent Vega	sure
Mesanna	well the colors from the virtues
Mesanna	what exactly are you asking for dyes
Mesanna	but most of these are probably available
Kyronix	A lot of the virtue hues are already defined, and most are likely available
Mesanna	the problem is honestly
Vincent Vega	Would it be possible if eatch
Vincent Vega	town could have there own color
Vincent Vega	like a uniq dye tube or something?
Mesanna	its hard to please everyone on every shard
Vincent Vega	Like green is yew
Vincent Vega	like a raree uniq color
Vincent Vega	a bit special
Vincent Vega	^^
Mesanna	it would be pretty hard honestly
Vincent Vega	A stand out color green for yew exp
Mesanna	we have given alot of the colors
Mesanna	we will think about it
Vincent Vega	cool
Vincent Vega	cuz look on this sexy man
Vincent Vega	infront of me
Vincent Vega	hes blue is nice
Vincent Vega	:)
Mesanna	Kyronix just came up with a good idea
Vincent Vega	yes?
Mesanna	maybe put the town flags on a shield
Mesanna	instead of colors
Vincent Vega	YEA!!
Mesanna	everyone already knows the colors
Vincent Vega	i love it!!!
Mesanna	if you are looking for something special for each town
Kyronix	Gives us more wiggle room to make ti special
Mesanna	I think that would be a better solution
Vincent Vega	Yes
Vincent Vega	toawsome
Vincent Vega	Awsome cuz i want eatch town
Vincent Vega	to feel more uniq
Mesanna	that was the point anyways right?
Kyronix	We just have to bribe Onifrk with an extra bucket of fish heads
Vincent Vega	indeed it was :)
Kyronix	And he'll put it on the list
Kyronix	*chuckles*
Mesanna	we will see what we can do
Vincent Vega	if u need soem extra
Vincent Vega	ask me
Vincent Vega	i can sponsor :)
EM Emile Layne	WE'll get Wally on that Fish
Vincent Vega	If possible it would be great!

Mesanna	this way
Barian III	*nods to Emile*
Mesanna	Greetings Barian
Barian III	Greetings Lady
Kyronix	Hello!
Barian III	And honoured guests
Barian III	2 questions if I may
Barian III	Would it be possible
Barian III	to revamp the BoD reward system
Mesanna	we have that on our list to do
Barian III	cool
Barian III	mebbe a points system?
Barian III	Secondly
Kyronix	That's what we've talked about
Mesanna	we have already said we were doing that
Mesanna	similiar to the tokuno dye system
Barian III	When Mining
Barian III	we have a toggle for Stone & Gems
Barian III	would it be possible to have a toggle
Barian III	for Saltpeter & Blackrock?
Mesanna	you want a way to turn off blackrock
Barian III	So that we can choose NOT to mine it
Barian III	yes
EM Emile Layne	Both make explosions.... why would you want to turn that off?
Barian III	both seem redundant to me
Barian III	quiet in the cheap seats
EM Emile Layne	lol
Kyronix	*chuckles*
Mesanna	wow
Mesanna	that was cold
Barian III	*winks*
Mesanna	just for that nothing but blackrock for you
Mesanna	we will review your request though
Barian III	Thank you for listening
Mesanna	Thank you
Barian III	and for the meeting place at Britain Bank
Mesanna	sorry was making notes
Mesanna	glad you guys are using it
Barian III	Could you renew the food you made please?
EM Emile Layne	They do, every day!
Barian III	indeed
Barian III	Thankyou again
Lien Ragus	greetings again
Lien Ragus	i was wondering
Mesanna	Greetings Lien
Lien Ragus	if it could be possible
Lien Ragus	to offer us
Lien Ragus	a small change
Lien Ragus	in the use
Lien Ragus	of Power of Fotirtif
Lien Ragus	Fortif
Lien Ragus	would it be possible
Lien Ragus	to get the possibility
Lien Ragus	to apply
Lien Ragus	all the pot
Lien Ragus	in one itme
Lien Ragus	time ?
Mesanna	so much easier on your hands
Mesanna	that is possible
Lien Ragus	fortfying a piece
Lien Ragus	of tailor
Lien Ragus	is really
Lien Ragus	around 22 click
Lien Ragus	on average
Lien Ragus	would be great
Mesanna	*nods*
Lien Ragus	to either choose 1 charges
Lien Ragus	or the full pot
Mesanna	like a slide bar on how many charges to use
Mesanna	got it
Lien Ragus	yes
Lien Ragus	my second question if you dont mind
Lien Ragus	do you have any plans
Lien Ragus	to make some water titles
Lien Ragus	as rare drops
Mesanna	umm
Lien Ragus	for new perlesses or champ bosses drop ?
Mesanna	we will think about it
Lien Ragus	lava and swamp
Lien Ragus	are really
Lien Ragus	appreciate
Lien Ragus	a lot
Lien Ragus	and i guess
Lien Ragus	water tile
Lien Ragus	would be
Lien Ragus	a nice rewrads
Lien Ragus	as well
Lien Ragus	and finally
Lien Ragus	do you see
Lien Ragus	an evolution
Mesanna	would go nicely on scalis
Lien Ragus	in the role of governors
Lien Ragus	and if yes
Lien Ragus	what could it be ?
Kyronix	That's a two fold issue
Kyronix	So firstly we have the side of the coin that we want to keep it open ended as much as possible
Kyronix	And give Governors the freedom to be creative and such
Kyronix	But then the other side is we have to be pragmatic about it
Lien Ragus	which means ?
Kyronix	If there are specific areas you would like to get into, it's certainly a discussion we can have
Kyronix	Just remember, we have to be pragmatic about it
Lien Ragus	okie point taken
Lien Ragus	thanks a lot
Lien Ragus	for your answers
Lien Ragus	and hope you will tell us
Lien Ragus	a bit
Lien Ragus	about next expansion
Lien Ragus	when you can
Lien Ragus	thansk Milady and Mylords
Mesanna	we will talk more about it soon
Kyronix	Thanks for your questinos!
drcossack	Hi
Mesanna	Greetings Drcossack
Kyronix	Hello
drcossack	Two questions. First, since it has to be asked: Hot Air Balloons?
drcossack	:)
Kyronix	Fantastic idea
Mesanna	go away
Mesanna	leave now
drcossack	:(
Mesanna	Next player Waervyn Nox transferred.
Waervyn Nox	Greetings everyone
Mesanna	I was kidding Emile
EM Emile Layne	Oh!
Mesanna	I don't think he was finished
Kyronix	Just you and the open sky in your Hot Air Balloon!
Mesanna	Greetings Waervyn
Waervyn Nox	hehe
EM Emile Layne	Sorry :)
Waervyn Nox	First, has there been any talk about altering the subscription model of this game?
Mesanna	you mean when we go to steam?
Waervyn Nox	something like that
Mesanna	of course we have talked about it
Mesanna	we always talk about it
Mesanna	the best solution etc
Waervyn Nox	second question would have been steam
Waervyn Nox	and if it was ever possible to see UO on steam
Mesanna	yes it is
Mesanna	we are already green lighted for Steam
Waervyn Nox	just thinking how many new players it could potentially bring in
Mesanna	a few things need to be done before hand but yes we hope that is the case
Mesanna	such as a new player experience etc
Waervyn Nox	aye
Waervyn Nox	thank you for the answers
Mesanna	your welcome
Mesanna	Greetings Petra
Petra Fyde	greetinsg :)
Petra Fyde	2 very quick ones
Kyronix	*whispers*
Kyronix	It's Petra...I know her
Kyronix	*grins*
Petra Fyde	1 will we get any sneak peaks of the new stuff in the run up to the expansion?
Mesanna	later yes and we are putting together a focus group
Mesanna	that will be on a closed shard
Petra Fyde	*)*

Mesanna	Greetings Minerva
Minerva Foxglove	Greetings
Kyronix	Greetings
Minerva Foxglove	would it be possible to sort the crafting menues to items were easier to find?
Minerva Foxglove	its hard for us old to find things even if we were here when the items were introdused
Mesanna	as in grouping them better?
Minerva Foxglove	for newer crafters its a mystery why tables are in so many places of the menue etc
Minerva Foxglove	yes
Minerva Foxglove	please
Kyronix	It's an unfortunate side effect of so many hands in the crafting tables over the years
Mesanna	Welcome Nadigan
Nadigan	Hi everyone
Kyronix	we try to put new stuff in where it makes sense
Minerva Foxglove	elven or garg doesnt matter as much
Minerva Foxglove	rather al lcontainers togeather
Minerva Foxglove	all tables weather they sare old oe later expansions
Mesanna	its very tinme consuming
Mesanna	but if you have specific ideas of what to group with what
Mesanna	please send them to us
Minerva Foxglove	same for tinker
Mesanna	if we can get more help I would be happy to see that done
Minerva Foxglove	sure
Minerva Foxglove	thank you
Mesanna	we would like to see your feedback
Trent Edwards	ooh
Trent Edwards	hi!
Mesanna	Greetings Trent
Trent Edwards	This is just a really minor thing
Mesanna	ok
Trent Edwards	but it's been bugging me for 15 years now
Trent Edwards	nearly all the weapons we can hold look really good in the classic client
Trent Edwards	but then if you pick up a short spear...
Mesanna	oh god
Trent Edwards	it sticks right through me!
Mesanna	its true
Mesanna	how about this
Trent Edwards	is there anything that can be done to fix it?
Mesanna	I will have our artist look at it after this expansion
Trent Edwards	thanks!
Trent Edwards	After 15 years
Mesanna	and yes it does look bad
Trent Edwards	i can finally stop whining about it
Mesanna	lol
Trent Edwards	my second question was going to be to ask you to kill escaflowne again
Trent Edwards	but he left
Trent Edwards	so i guess i'm done!
Trent Edwards	thanks!
EM Emile Layne	*Grins*
Mesanna	lol
Trent Edwards	just next time you see him!
Mesanna	ok
Trent Edwards	*Waves short spear!*
Mesanna	you have a deal
Kyronix	See ya
drcossack	My second question was over some pvp issues. Is it possible to reduce the duration of mortal if
Mesanna	sorry
drcossack	the user chains it? With the apple cooldown, it's not possible to keep removing it
drcossack	Also, is there a way to make disarm/splinter not go off at the same time?
Mesanna	Bleak is answering it
drcossack	ok
Bleak	Mortal's duration is subject to diminishing returns. We will will take a look into this next publish
drcossack	alright. I haven't noticed so far
Bleak	Splinter being chance based is not tied to specials
drcossack	ah. :(
drcossack	Both going off at once is a killer =/
Phoenix	hello
Kyronix	Hello
Mesanna	Greetings Phoenix
Phoenix	*hugs Messanna*
Mesanna	*hugs*
Phoenix	:)
Kyronix	No hugs for us?
Kyronix	Hrmph
Phoenix	ok two quick questions
Phoenix	we are all familiar now with secondary softwares playign ultima online
Phoenix	speedengines/scripts/etc
Phoenix	who am i gona be talking with?
Mesanna	all of us
Mesanna	go ahead
Phoenix	cool
Mesanna	what about them?
Phoenix	well some speeders out there makes this game completly unfair
Phoenix	escpecially in pvp situations
Mesanna	can I ask you a question
Mesanna	which client do you use?
Phoenix	ive noticed more than one time some very particular players make me lag or even crash sometimes
Phoenix	im on EC client
Mesanna	EC will always be faster
Phoenix	some players cant even cast while moving, or hit u a few screens away, or screen skipping
Phoenix	i think there is a huge problem in synchronisation between EC / 2d
Phoenix	but thats not the question im asking
Phoenix	im talking about a software called speedengine
Phoenix	razer
Phoenix	uosteam
Phoenix	cant u track people for usinng illegal soft
Mesanna	as far as the softwares are you asking if they are legal
Mesanna	*looks behind me*
Phoenix	people are using them and ruining my game
Phoenix	thats the thing
Mesanna	If you know they are cheating page a GM
Mesanna	but understand this
Brutrin	*waves*
Mesanna	unless they can prove it they will not act
Phoenix	i did that over and over
Mesanna	we do not do anything because of screenshots
Phoenix	i also had a personal message sent for u messanna
Phoenix	for someone streaming live on twitch
Phoenix	using cheatengine
Mesanna	But its not my job, its theirs
Mesanna	Thats what they do
Stethun	We will investigate the players you report, and take the appropriate action, should it be necessary.
Phoenix	we need more GM assistance
Phoenix	honestly
Phoenix	another quick question
Mesanna	yes sir?
Phoenix	any chance for an EC Revamp in the next couple years?
Mesanna	we just redid the UI
Mesanna	what else are you looking for
Phoenix	i like it, but weve seen versions before which never came live
Phoenix	like kingdom reborn
Mesanna	thats not the EC client
Mesanna	that was KR
Phoenix	the complete 3d uo version
Mesanna	which was removed from the game
Phoenix	yes
Mesanna	no way I am adding another client
Phoenix	no chances that it might go live again i suppose
Mesanna	3 is way to many
Mesanna	no sir
Phoenix	agreed
Phoenix	ok
Mesanna	I want to say something about CS also
Mesanna	we are constantly looking for ways to improve
Mesanna	Broadsword is a small company
Mesanna	and yes we do not have the 100's of GM's like we did in the old days
Mesanna	but we all care and are trying to improve
Phoenix	ok, i hope they put cheating as a priority then
Phoenix	coz ima start reporting well the next couple days
Mesanna	please do
Phoenix	well thx for ur time
Mesanna	thank you
Ayseh	Merp!
Ayseh	*coighs*
Mesanna	Greetings Aysel
Kyronix	Hello
Ayseh	Gr...greetings
Kyronix	Everyone on Europa is so well dressed
Ayseh	Wow....that method of transport is harsh....
Ayseh	*coughs*
Ayseh	I mean....
Kyronix	So well coordinated
EM Emile Layne	Could have been the moat again... :P
Ayseh	I stand here to present tow issues.....
Ayseh	The first, I have been reliably told is the.....
Ayseh	*takes a piece of parchment out of her pocket*
Ayseh	*reads from it*
Mesanna	*sits down*
Ayseh	The placement issue in player houses
Ayseh	That when they try to place things on a solid surface like a table, it tries to place underneath
Ayseh	It works on NPC houses and places, but not in player houses....
Ayseh	*finishes reading*
Ayseh	*looks hopefully*
Mesanna	first help me out here
Mesanna	npc houses?
Ayseh	*blinks*
Mesanna	do you mean the buildings in town etc
EM Emile Layne	Buildings in towns
Ayseh	I am just reading what I have been given, miss
Ayseh	Aye, it would seem so
Mesanna	that stuff is not placed like players place the items
Mesanna	its done with a different client
Mesanna	that is why you have the deco tool
Ayseh	But.....
Ayseh	I am not talking about decorating
Ayseh	I am talking about putting a drink on the bar....
Kyronix	Is it the same table? Or a different table?
Ayseh	This is extremely difficult in ......
Ayseh	*leafs through*
Ayseh	"Player houses"
Mesanna	it depends on the surface
Ayseh	It doesn't recognises the table as a surface.....it's caused unending problems at my hometown....
Mesanna	it has to have surface assigned to it
Ayseh	Which is Vesper......
Kyronix	Would you be able to send us a picture of the table? We can double check the art
Ayseh	Trying to serve drinks is very difficult
Mesanna	send us a list of the tables you are having issues with
Ayseh	It has simply become insanely difficult - and this has started since the EC was introduced.....
Mesanna	and we will look at them
Ayseh	Is there a fix for this?
Ayseh	*nods*
Ayseh	My second issue.....
Ayseh	*bows politely*
Ayseh	My hometown is Vesper.....we are the last real remaining seat of RP on this shard.....
Kyronix	My hometown is Vesper too
Ayseh	We love to enjoy and play UO the way it was meant to be played.....
Ayseh	And we ask that we get a dock at the Swagger's Inn on the Vesper Coast
Ayseh	JUST to the south of the city
Mesanna	doesn't Vesper already have a dock
Ayseh	It does, sir
Mesanna	I am not a sir
Ayseh	Miss - I mean
Ayseh	It does, Miss
Mesanna	When we put in docks to cut down on our work
Mesanna	we do it for all shards
Mesanna	currently we are trying to make sure all towns that should have one does
Mesanna	after that is done
Mesanna	we can look into special requests
Ayseh	However, giving us a dock would be a mite of effort for all of you...and mean SO MUCH for us
Ayseh	If nothing else has come from my time here....I wish that you will consider the table bug.....
Ayseh	*bows head*
Kyronix	Farewell!
Ayseh	Thank you for listening to me
Mesanna	please email me the tables
Mesanna	thank you
Ayseh	I am.......we are all....in your debt
Mesanna	you have my email address right
Ayseh	I am only the messenger
Ayseh	If you wish to discuss this.....
Ayseh	I can give you my boss's ICQ
Mesanna	lol
Mesanna	have them email me then
Ayseh	What is your email?
Mesanna	[email protected]
Ayseh	My thanks
Ayseh	My thanks to you all!
Ayseh	*bows head*
Mesanna	have a good day
Ayseh	You as well

Amantala	*waves*
Aryala	Thank you, cheap seat.
Mesanna	Greetings Aryala
Aryala	*winks*
EM Emile Layne	*Grins*
Aryala	Good evening. I have several questions if I may, though quick ones.
Aryala	Firstly, you mentioned paging the GMs. But that is a black box. they may or may not come.
Aryala	Now, an hour, two, there is no queue or indicator. Will that change?
Mesanna	The GM's do many things
Mesanna	such as billing, trying to get your accounts back to you etc
Mesanna	so we were thinking
Mesanna	I repeat
Mesanna	THINKING
Mesanna	about posting times that they will take in game tickets
Mesanna	and yes
Mesanna	we are always trying to come up with better ways to serve our players
Mesanna	how is that guys?
Aryala	That would be helpful. At least to know that help is ~probably~ arriving would be a plus.
Aryala	Secondly, will ther be a better way again to communicate EM events? Other than facebook?
Mesanna	plus we are trying to evaluate the types of issues Advisors can help with
Mesanna	everyone has a web page
Mesanna	we are going to also have our new site up soon
Aryala	Ours is not updated though, is it?
Mesanna	and post a calendar there
Mesanna	They were down for a while
Mesanna	should be up now to work on
Aryala	*nods*
Aryala	Thank you.
EM Emile Layne	I will use mainly facebook and the towncriers till the new site is up
EM Emile Layne	So keep an eye on those places
Aryala	*nods*
Mesanna	we hope to have our new web page up in the next month
Aryala	What happened to the library of stamps for governors to use in their towns?
Aryala	Is that still comming and if so, soonish?
Kyronix	It's still being added to
Kyronix	We haven't had that many new additions
Mesanna	the additions come from you guys
Kyronix	The docks was the last major request, and we worldbuilt those out
Aryala	Maybe because we do not know how it works, what and where to send anything?
Mesanna	give it to Emile
EM Emile Layne	*Nods*
Kyronix	Well it starts with an idea, you interace with the Crown and work out a way to get it done
Kyronix	Then it gets passed on to us to build
Kyronix	Just again, keep in mind that we need to be pragmatic about it
Kyronix	It was very uncontrolled in the beginning
Kyronix	And a lot of people had an expectation that the Crown, and as a result, the EM would just follow
Kyronix	them around and place or provide deco for the sake of deco
Kyronix	Which is NOT what we intended, nor does it serve our broader goal
Kyronix	of building community by giving players something to rally around
Kyronix	So far other shards have requested things like market squares, and Jails...additions that promote
Aryala	And once they are built they can be summoned again without hassle?
Kyronix	Yes, we essentially make a big stamp, as you put it, and can recreate it very easily
Kyronix	Just interface with the Crown and they will ask us for it
Aryala	*nods*
Aryala	I will do that.
Aryala	And the last question: are there plans to make towns more interesting? Some of them are hardly
Aryala	used at all. Trinsic for example has long distances, no unique fascilities
Aryala	Few players come there at all.
Aryala	A unique shopkeeper, or an interesting place could change that
Kyronix	We can only do so much, a lot of what draws people to towns
Kyronix	Is the interaction that players provide there
Kyronix	Trinsic may be quiet here, but it's a bustling trade hub on other shards
Kyronix	For example, one of the improvements that we often use is a Market Square in Trinsic
Kyronix	That the resident of Trinsic on Catskills use to have a swap-meet/market event
Kyronix	Which is enjoyed by many, and that is something you can get here since we can paste it out very
Kyronix	Easily
Aryala	Seeing the overall population on Europa I am not often tempted to use the term "bustling"
Aryala	But I take your point. Thank you for your answers.
Mesanna	thank you
Kyronix	Thank you for the questions!
Mesanna	greetings Loriel
Loriel	Hail all
Kyronix	Hello!
Loriel	Appreciate a lot of whats been said already might cover the answers to my questions
Loriel	My main concern is the issue with gold and resource sellers
Loriel	that are effectively cheating and unabalancing the economy
Loriel	unbalancing*
Loriel	my suggestion that I submitted as part of a brief and limited economic report
Loriel	that maintains a tighter grip on the financial distribution on all shards
Loriel	for example tracking accurately the wealth of each player and the linked accounts
Loriel	associated
Loriel	and those that are not but still in the same name etc
Loriel	what are your thoughts on this ?
Mesanna	Ummm
Mesanna	How can I say this
Mesanna	that would be a full time job for someone number 1
Loriel	:)
Mesanna	second, we are putting in currency conversion which is going to help in a lot of ways
Mesanna	we honestly don't have the people to monitor funds in the game to that extent
Mesanna	I would rather fix bugs or put in new content
Loriel	well I wish I had the knowledge to program a system to maintain itself doing something like that...
Loriel	that sustains itself
Mesanna	what are you suggesting
Mesanna	putting a cap on the gold a person can have
Loriel	to focus and prioritise it
Mesanna	I don't really understand I guess
Loriel	no
Loriel	not a cap
Loriel	just a global tracking system
Loriel	so you can see instantly who has what cash levels
Loriel	that would be an easy way to identify people who might be cheating
Loriel	and give you guys a big break...
Mesanna	*nods*
Loriel	I dont know the timeframes involved in getting that off the gorund
Loriel	but from the feedback I have got
Loriel	its a big problem
Mesanna	eng has to pull the report
Mesanna	and they have to review it
Mesanna	I only have one eng on my team
Mesanna	I need him fixing things =)
Loriel	is there no way to automate it ?
Mesanna	did you have another question?
Mesanna	nope
Loriel	live tracking
Loriel	ok
Loriel	cheque limits...
Mesanna	ok last thing I am going to say on this
Mesanna	we are doing away with checks
Mesanna	please be patient
Loriel	ok that sounds like a good plan
Loriel	the insurance system seems to have a better hold on what my bank balance is
Loriel	so If i need to check it I just look on there
Mesanna	you need to wait till the next expansion
Mesanna	I think you will be happy
Loriel	ok thats great
Mesanna	anything else?
Loriel	I think those were my priorities
Mesanna	have a good day
Loriel	lol
Loriel	thanks guys
Mesanna	Greetings Shadow
Shadow Walker	evening
Shadow Walker	been thinking about the magincia vendors
Shadow Walker	ah no worries
Mesanna	Shadow did you ask a question?
Shadow Walker	no not yet
Shadow Walker	if i can then it would be about magincia vendors
Mesanna	what about them
Shadow Walker	noticed that some items can be placed on them but not the same items on every shard
Shadow Walker	like green thorns can be placed on some shards but not others
Shadow Walker	and the other is the stand
Shadow Walker	i would love to see them converted to say 7x7 plot
Shadow Walker	single story with limited short walls
Shadow Walker	let the players go to town on deco
Shadow Walker	for there shops
Mesanna	we are not changing the size of the plots sorry
Mesanna	alot of work went into that
Mesanna	as far as the green thorns
Mesanna	we found they were not working correctly but none of the shards should accept them now
Shadow Walker	not so much size change but alow soem lock dows for deco posibilities for the owners
Mesanna	you have different types of stalls
Mesanna	but no we are not making those customizeable
Shadow Walker	ah ok was just a thought for intersting deco stuf
Shadow Walker	and thank you
Shadow Walker	thats all i had
Mesanna	have a good day
Traveler	opps its me again
Mesanna	Hello again
Traveler	there was good idea about soap
Traveler	I have something to add
Mesanna	whats that
Traveler	you know what happen if you step over wet soap
Mesanna	not touching that one
Traveler	let this happen near water sources like lake
Traveler	or river
Traveler	just for fun
Traveler	and another use
Traveler	soap bubble machine
Mesanna	lol cute idea
Traveler	to make bubbles
Traveler	thats all me have to add
