Q & A from the press conference
The following is the Question and Answers from the press conference...
Sumokan: Thankyou Lady Dabblez
Sumokan: The token board for neutrals is not a new idea
Sumokan: IR and other neut orgs has first taken the idea back then.
Sumokan: Today we neuts have more resources then before.
Sumokan: It is our hope that more neutral and the sided help us in this effort
Sumokan: EO is prepared to spend millions to make this a reality.
Sumokan: That is why we asked RUR to help us in this project.
Sumokan: Thankyou.
Pyromanche applaudes
Dabblez claps
Pyromanche: Thank you Sumokan
Pyromanche: I would like to thank Sumo for contacting RUR about this project
Pyromanche: and their willingness to take it on
Pyromanche: we have been bouncing around a number of ideas as to how to make this work
Pyromanche: and still remain Neutral as we know it
Pyromanche: this I know is an issue in this project, since we are not a "side"
Pyromanche: some of the suggestions have included enhancing objects we are already able to aquire
Pyromanche: such as All-Match Augmented Bow Tie
Pyromanche: so that it offers us more enhancements
Fikksit: Soltoyz Intimate Helper
Ognom grins
Pyromanche: and still does not tie us to a faction system
Pyromanche: both of these are good items that can be worn by any neutral
Pyromanche: but I am going off on a more technical tangent here
Pyromanche: these options are being explored
Pyromanche: my point is that, this is something we can all benefit from
Pyromanche: and I hope that you will all support it
Pyromanche: thank you
Pyromanche: does anyone have any questions for RUR or EO at this time?
Fikksit: I do
Pyromanche: Fikksit
Fikksit: First, what's in this for RUR? Why are they taking on this project?
Pyromanche: ((if you have a question please send me a tell to be put on the list))
Dabblez: That is simple. We are a company. This is how we earn our living
Dabblez: I actual fact its an exciting project.
Aazamon can't hear over there
Psykotron smiles
Dabblez: Sorry
Dabblez: Engineering projects are what we do
Aazamon: Dabblez could you repeath Fikksit's question
Nayree grins
Dabblez: Fikksit asked what is in it for RUR
Dabblez: I might add that a number of RUR such as myself were born neutral
Dabblez: But that would just cloud the issue
Dabblez: Its good, interesting work
Pyromanche: is that it Fikksit?
Fikksit: Also, what kind of help would we need to contribute
Pyromanche: please finish Fikks
Fikksit: Money? Research?
Dabblez: Speak to Pyro and Sumo about funding
Sumokan: If I may add.
Dabblez: We can use thelp for other scientists,
Dabblez: to break down the project and develop the differnt bits in parallel
Dabblez: Please continue Sumo
Sumokan: EO has contracted RUR due to there willingness to set aside partisain politics.
Sumokan: And please take this as a compliment RUR
Sumokan: but you do have a neutral outlook on life.
Pyromanche: I beleive Fikksit had more to ask
Sumokan: And we can appreciate that.
Fikksit: Yes.
Fikksit: The most important part
Fikksit: What if this project becomes unprofitable, or even undoable. Will it be abandoned?
Pyromanche: we will need to cross that bridge when we get to it
Dabblez: I think that is a risk any project faces
Pyromanche: hopefully it will not be abandoned
Fikksit: Let me rephrase, unprofitable or troublesome to see through
Sumokan: WE trust RUR will make that call.
Dabblez: We hope it does not turn out to be another Rubi-Ka Subway
Dabblez: But there are risks
Sumokan: lol
Pyromanche: if that is it Fikksit, I believe Aazamon has a question
Eternalforce snickers
Psykotron grins
Aazamon: thank you
Aazamon: now to follow up on Fikksit's question
Aazamon: if RUR were...forced..to abandon the project
Aazamon: I would wish that all the information belong to the neutral community
Pyromanche claps
Aazamon: so we could continue it, or it would be too easy to crush
Pyromanche: I think it definately should Aazamon
Psykotron claps
Aazamon: ok, now to my main questions
Dabblez: I think I can agree to that. Another reason to have more neutral scientist on the team
Grorkin nods
Ognom: That a question?
Aazamon: heh
Aazamon: the NLF does not have much in funds, but we do have technicians, will there be projects for them to work on?
Dabblez: I'll let Ognom reply to that
Ognom: I'd think so yes
Dabblez: Thank you Og.
Pyromanche: I beleive that is why we are here
Aazamon: ok
Aazamon: and my last question
Pyromanche: to get the neutral community directly invovled
Aazamon: I don't see a problem with tokens being awarded, as Clans have tokens, are we going to stop short of the full token system if we make it half way there with the technology
Pyromanche: we don;t know where the technology will end, we would like it to be a full merit system
Dabblez: We will certainly aim to match the CLan-OTRK TBT systems
Pyromanche: but
Psykotron raises a hand
Pyromanche: anything is better than our current system or lack of
Pyromanche: TY Aazamon
Pyromanche: Deyo has the floor
Deyo: i suppose my question is one for Sumokan
Deyo: since we are talking here about something that can prove beneficial for both Neutrals and Omni-tek
Deyo: whats Clans role in this?
Aurila: I am sorry, I am unclear on how this would be at all beneficial to omni-tek?
Sumokan: If any clan wishes to help on this endeavour, I would welcome them wholeheartedly
Deyo: since we dont know what will emerge from the technology
Dabblez: We welcome researchers from all factions. But at the end of the day, thisis a nuetral project and no oneelse's buisiness
Deyo: and i hope it will be viewed as such
Deyo: thanks you
Aurila: then you are saying it would be of no benefit to the other factions. can we quote you on that?
Pyromanche: Thank you Deyo
Dabblez: Fairness?
Dabblez: DOes that not benefit all in the end?
Auntbeast cheers
Pyromanche: Nealandbob has the floor
Evalissa smiles
Nealandbob: I have one question, and one statement
Nealandbob: First, my statement........
Nealandbob: Should this technology be based on the same Token system currently being used by OTRK and the Clans.........
Sumokan: hehe have no idea.
Sumokan: Dab?
Dabblez: Ognom, if you will..
Ognom: The statement?
Nealandbob: I would personaly like to see the Neutral system require Tokens from BOTH sides to function. i.e. 400 Clan and 400 Omni Tokens to get 400 board
Pyromanche: I don't think Nealandbob was done
Nealandbob: this would encourage cooperation with BOTH factions imho
Nealandbob: which I am wholeheartedly in favor of
Nealandbob: Now, my question........
Nealandbob: Many Neutrals are proud of the success they have had in the face of immense hardships, and do not wish for a Neutral token system. These people would be able to *not* participate in the system if they so choose?
Pyromanche: No neutral is obligated to particiapte in this
Noholdsbarre: the choice to wear would be yours of course
Dabblez: Actually it is a lot simple than that
Dabblez: Just delete unwanted tokens
Pyromanche: but hopefully all will see the benefit we will gain as a whole
Aazamon cleans out his ears...
Pyromanche: Ty Nealandbob
Nealandbob: Yes, I just wanted to make it clear that the individual can make their own choice :) Thank you.
Pyromanche: Tyranadon has the floor
Dabblez: I'd imagine it would be an administrative nightmare haveing to discriminate between neutral citiznes, but there choise remains to the individual
Tyranadon: Thank you
Tyranadon: First I would like to say that I like the idea
Tyranadon: Second I feel that something like the token board would be appropriate since we are already rewared by the clans and omni tek for doing missions for them
Tyranadon: We just do not as of yet have a system for being rewarded for our efforts
Nayree tilts her head
Pyromanche: that is what we are looking into Tyr
Pyromanche: how it will be done, we need to see
Tyranadon: Being neutral gives us the ability to accept rewards from both factions without being loyal to either
Tyranadon: Thats all thank you
Ognom: I'd like to add that I have have a screwdriver, crayons, and some blueprints
Pyromanche: thank you Tyranadon
Pyromanche: Psykotron has the floor
Dabblez: HOw can we fail so well equipped?
Psykotron: THank you
Psykotron: The Neutral Rights Organization of course will support to the fullest any advancement of Neutrals
Psykotron: However
Psykotron: I any assistance offered to the project by any party
Psykotron: would best be used in a directed and coordinated effort
Nayree taps a few commands on her wristpad
Psykotron: it would be, i feel, a waste of time and energy for individual efforts to be made, essentially grasping at straws
Psykotron: thank you
Pyromanche: Psykotron this we hope will be a concorted effort by all
Pyromanche: ty Psykotron
Pyromanche: I would like to announce that EO will be giving RUR 10 mil credits now to start funding on this project
Ognom cheers
Pyromanche: sorry Psykotron would like to say more
Shadowgrider: eh>?
Psykotron: Sorry if I was unclear
Pyromanche: forgive my rushing you
Psykotron: What I mean to say is this
Psykotron: No problem Maam
Dabblez signs the contract
Psykotron: THe idea was proposed to me that we should all serch for answers
Pyromanche signs the contract
Psykotron: the best way we knew how individually or as organizations
Psykotron: I say that it needs to be more coordinated, possibly being directed by RUR
Psykotron: ie, they assign task, we attempt completion
Ognom shakes hands with sumokan
Sumokan: *shakes* :)
Pyromanche: Psykotron, this may involving certain indivduals or guilds getting certain items or funding or research by guilds or individuals so, really, all will be involved
Tyranadon: excuse me little man please back away
Eternalforce: Hey! He's R.U.R. Don't talk to him like that
Pyromanche: let's all calm down now
Dabblez: Psst... he's the client Zack
Tyranadon: i asked him to move that is all
Sumokan: My apologies he is pryo bodygaurd
Pyromanche breathes a sigh
Dabblez: The nice people that just gave us 10m.
Eternalforce: You called him little...well, i suppose he is.
Eternalforce: Nevermind.
Evalissa: heh
Ognom: bah
Noholdsbarre: yes all would be involved
Pyromanche: are there any more questions?
Evalissa: btw we cant hear what the other side says unless they step of the chair
Pyromanche: I will be happy to discuss this with anyone looking for info
Pyromanche: and I will have a transcript of this meeting avail to those who need it
Dabblez: Please feel free to contact any RUR employee over this issue
Pyromanche: I must apologize, I need to attend another meeting at this time
Pyromanche: thank you all for coming
Dabblez: We need everyone's support to pull this of
Dabblez: Thank you
Evalissa smiles
Sumokan: Thankyou all
Pyromanche: thank you Dabblez
Pyromanche: come Tyr
Sumokan shouts: Chirmara burgers at Sumo BBQ
