 Posted: Fri Feb 16, 2007 8:00 pm Post subject: Laxman in Delin and a chance of snow |
 |
|
So I saw Laxman was in a Delin, and knowing it was either ours or TMP's, I took a gamble and went to ours. Lo and behold, Laxman's standing there right near the link-in. Nobody else was there at the time but people quickly arrived. I think there were about half a dozen people there at most though.
Here's a log.
| Code: | (02/16 22:07:34) Victor Laxman: Hello
(02/16 22:07:51) Cycreim: What brings you to Delin, man?
(02/16 22:07:53) Arthur Kalnins: Whoops.. Sorry
(02/16 22:08:06) Victor Laxman: Just checking some readings.
(02/16 22:08:19) Victor Laxman: Hello Arthur
(02/16 22:08:22) Cycreim: What kind of readings?
(02/16 22:08:30) Arthur Kalnins bows
(02/16 22:08:30) Arthur Kalnins: Hello, Mr. Laxman
(02/16 22:08:37) Cycreim: Anything we can help out with?
(02/16 22:08:53) Victor Laxman: Related to air pressure and such.
(02/16 22:09:05) Victor Laxman: Interesting readings.
(02/16 22:09:11) Cycreim: Yeah?
(02/16 22:09:33) Cycreim: Weren't there... weather issues or something?
(02/16 22:09:36) Arthur Kalnins: Do you think it has anything to do with the reports of snow?
(02/16 22:09:48) Victor Laxman: Delin is interesting. Conditions can change here quickly.
(02/16 22:10:15) Cycreim: Wait, conditions? Is this something we should be worried about?
(02/16 22:10:33) Victor Laxman: We had to delay because of weather issues that we didn't understand.
(02/16 22:11:14) Victor Laxman: Nothing serious, but we're seeing similar readings again.
(02/16 22:11:22) Victor Laxman: Pressure is falling.
(02/16 22:11:32) Arthur Kalnins: If you don't mind, sir, may I ask a completely un-related question?
(02/16 22:11:33) Cycreim: Fast?
(02/16 22:11:43) Cycreim: Hey Xanos!
(02/16 22:11:48) Xanos: Shorah everyone
(02/16 22:11:52) Arthur Kalnins: Shorah, Xanos
(02/16 22:12:15) Victor Laxman: We saw this before and the weather changed unexpectedly - within days.
(02/16 22:12:28) Victor Laxman: Hello Xanos
(02/16 22:12:39) Xanos: Hello Mr. Laxman
(02/16 22:13:24) Victor Laxman: So I'm curious if there is a pattern, or it's more complex - chaotic.
(02/16 22:13:39) Cycreim: Hmm, that's something we can watch out for...
(02/16 22:13:50) Arthur Kalnins: Indeed.
(02/16 22:13:50) Victor Laxman: Thought I would monitor a bit more closely this time.
(02/16 22:13:55) Arthur Kalnins: Shorah, Robert.
(02/16 22:14:07) Cycreim: Cool. I should tell the other Great Tree members about this...
(02/16 22:14:21) Arthur Kalnins: Do you have any theories about what causes this?
(02/16 22:14:44) Victor Laxman: Well, just so you're all aware.
(02/16 22:14:55) Kestr'l: shorah
(02/16 22:15:00) Cycreim: And, uh, sorry to pepper you with questions, but is this related to why Tsogahl was delayed?
(02/16 22:15:16) Victor Laxman: It certainly is weather related, but I don't know the big picture in this age.
(02/16 22:15:18) Kestr'l: It's an honor to finally meet you, Dr. Laxman
(02/16 22:15:34) Victor Laxman: Thank you Kestr'l.
(02/16 22:15:43) Victor Laxman: Nice to meet you as well.
(02/16 22:16:37) Victor Laxman: From what I can tell, if the pressure continues to fall we should see changes within a few days.
(02/16 22:16:54) Victor Laxman: But I'm not a weatherman.
(02/16 22:16:56) Arthur Kalnins: Hmm.. Any danger to the Explorers?
(02/16 22:16:57) Cycreim: Do you want us to let you know if anything happens?
(02/16 22:17:10) Victor Laxman: Only if they're wearing shorts.
(02/16 22:17:14) Victor Laxman laughs
(02/16 22:17:18) Arthur Kalnins starts to laugh
(02/16 22:17:38) Robert F. Caine: Dr Laxman, this is a bit off topic but do you have an ETA for GZ calibration?
(02/16 22:17:40) Arthur Kalnins: Anything like what the northeast is seeing?
(02/16 22:17:43) Cycreim: How long does it take until the pressure rises again?
(02/16 22:17:59) Cycreim: Or, well, how long did it take last time?
(02/16 22:18:04) Victor Laxman: Anyway, there aren't many Delin Ages so you may have quite a few visitors.
(02/16 22:18:34) Cycreim: Ooh, lots of victi-I mean guests. :)
(02/16 22:18:46) Austruck: I can hear you guys. ;)
(02/16 22:19:08) Kestr'l: sorry to walk in on the middle of things - what is the pressure you are speaking of?
(02/16 22:19:14) Arthur Kalnins: Air pressure
(02/16 22:19:23) Austruck: My blood pressure
(02/16 22:19:33) Austruck: j/k
(02/16 22:19:34) Kestr'l chuckles
(02/16 22:19:42) Cycreim: Yeah it looks like Delin's gonna get a cold spell.
(02/16 22:19:52) Kestr'l: I noticed that anohay's water has been poisoned... can you tell us anything about that?
(02/16 22:20:00) Xanos: I suppose the sandals would not be recommended footwear either.
(02/16 22:20:15) Austruck: Why not? My kids try that in Pittsburgh all winter long. ;)
(02/16 22:20:36) Kestr'l: (noticed from the DRC site)
(02/16 22:20:41) Victor Laxman: It was days last time, but I have no idea if that means anything.
(02/16 22:20:44) Xanos: Liability, maybe? :)
(02/16 22:21:18) Kestr'l: what's the D'ni equivalent of a Groundhog? Maybe wek can make it last 6 weeks longer... heheh
(02/16 22:21:23) Cycreim: Hmm.
(02/16 22:21:25) Victor Laxman: One event does not provide information for a pattern.
(02/16 22:21:48) Cycreim: So uh, what's the deal with these cloths here, anyway? That's what most people have been coming to see.
(02/16 22:22:02) Victor Laxman: So if it changes again we'll watch it. May be able to see a pattern develop...
(02/16 22:22:03) Austruck: Cycreim, I dn't think they're here to open the door. :(
(02/16 22:22:06) Victor Laxman: If there is one.
(02/16 22:22:17) Austruck: Finally found a Delin, and I stumble into a board meeting. Just my luck. ;)
(02/16 22:22:32) Cycreim: Hey Marchetto!
(02/16 22:22:34) Arthur Kalnins: I see Nick is on.
(02/16 22:23:01) Victor Laxman: Nick and I were in yesterday as well.
(02/16 22:23:12) Arthur Kalnins: Victor, there are reports that someone's asking about Nick's salary. Wanting to talk in private
(02/16 22:23:17) Arthur Kalnins: Any information on that?
(02/16 22:23:20) Victor Laxman: The cloths are not DRC related.
(02/16 22:23:28) Arthur Kalnins: I gathered that.
(02/16 22:23:29) Kestr'l: Dr. Laxman, eplorers like myself have so many questions to ask you... would it be possiblefor you to give a guided lecture on a particular age someday?
(02/16 22:23:39) Xanos: Dr. Laxman, is the DRC aware how the cloths got here?
(02/16 22:23:59) Cycreim: Yeah, well, obviously... but... were they around before you guys started investigating this Age, or did they suddenly appear, or what? I'm just curious about your take on that...
(02/16 22:24:10) Cycreim: Your personal take, I mean, not the DRC's :)
(02/16 22:24:13) Victor Laxman: I'd enjoy that at some point. Cate would prefer us to get the kinks out before we take such a break.
(02/16 22:24:18) Thend: Hello all
(02/16 22:24:23) Victor Laxman: Excuse me a moment.
(02/16 22:24:37) Cycreim: No problem man
(02/16 22:25:40) Victor Laxman: Sorry, checking KI-mail.
(02/16 22:25:54) Kestr'l: Dr Laxman, You mentioned that there may be snow in Delin, is that correct?
(02/16 22:26:15) Arthur Kalnins: So, Victor. Do you know anything about the KI message an explorer got about someone wanting to know Nick's salary?
(02/16 22:26:34) Cycreim clears his throat.
(02/16 22:26:45) Victor Laxman: I'm not predicting the weather neccesarily. Just watching the pressure change.
(02/16 22:27:01) Victor Laxman: But there could be changes.
(02/16 22:27:56) Victor Laxman: I've got to leave. I'm afraid I'm on call. I'll try and get back later. Cheers!
(02/16 22:27:59) Kestr'l: fascinating... could the DRC bring some meteorological equipment into Delin to record the changes?
(02/16 22:28:06) Arthur Kalnins: Shorah, Victor.
(02/16 22:28:12) Xanos: Thanks for dropping by Dr. Laxman.
(02/16 22:28:16) Victor Laxman waves goodbye.
(02/16 22:28:19) Thend: Seeya Victor |

Woo hoo! The pressure is dropping in Delin... could snow be on the way? Do you think we'll be able to make snowballs, or snow angels?

uh... Marten, I don't get it.... 
Snowball fights in Delin would be killer! You could have King of the Hill matches, and that one area off on the side is just made for turning into a snowfort - the wall is already in place!

It's sure pretty but I'd hardly call it a storm.

Did anyone catch the storm? Or did it just sort of become snowy through some sort of crazy Yeesha magic O_o
(Wow... when was the last time I posted something on the forums...  )

Wow! It's beautiful! Thank you so much for posting pictures MJ!
I wonder how much accumulation there will be. Delin will probably be like Vancouver - little bit of snow sometimes that melts and just makes the plants go greener. *is jealous*
*wishes she could go and make snow-angels in Delin*

| I hope the Delin snow is nothing like the stuff we got in the US northeast: rock-hard ice disguised as snow that's as treacherous to walk on as a skating rink without skates. |

I suspect it wasn't something that would have started while anyone was there.
