==Verbatim text of conversation November 12 evening EST== Erika takes responsibility for typos, sorry if there are any in my transcription.
Kaldar: hello Kaldar: some questions for you when you get back Erika: hi Kaldar: that was quick :-) Kaldar: i'm in the OE mega guild, and was wondering if we could help each other out Erika: I'm going back and forth Kaldar: well, i'll write, you read at your leisure Erika: ok Kaldar: 2 things: first is trading gypsum for bauxite, or vice versa so we each only have to dig one Kaldar: we get a ton of bauxite, you gypsum, and trade Kaldar: or vice versa Erika: My intuition is that we have bauxite covered... Erika: I could be wrong but there were 2 digs about a week ago Kaldar: second is that there may be some advantage to timing our construction week Kaldar: since we won't know exactly what we need until we start construction, we'll both have too little of some stuff, and too much of others Kaldar: there may be some overlap Kaldar: that we could just trade for instead of producing on our own Kaldar: might cut our work in half [22 minutes elapse] Erika: Is it ok if i ask you some questions and then post our conversation to the Sinai MEGA Wiki? Kaldar: go ahead Erika: OK first I'm going to ask some basic questions about the OE MEGA -- there should be quick Erika: How many members do you have? Are there specific leaders? When do you project that you will want to put up your Megalopolis site? Kaldar: there are the guild elders, so far we have not assigned anyone specific tasks to manage Kaldar: there is talk about settin up groups within the guild working on similar projects with some kind of supervision / leadership, but it hasn't happened yet Kaldar: hard to be make accurage predictions about when we'll start construction Kaldar: the biggest restriction at the moment is concrete and cut gems Kaldar: everything else is progressing nicely Kaldar: checking on membership right now. we've been removing mules who won't be passing and are still reveiwing membership applications Kaldar: there may still be some unclaimed openings in the guild, we should know more over the next day or two Erika: Thanks, I think that gives us a rough idea of your project Erika: afk [At this point I had some unexpected guests to my apartment, so I had to go AFK/AWOL for some time...] Kaldar: I need to go, chat riverwalker directly if you have any further questions [more than an hour elapsed after I went AFK, so I didn't have a chance to ask any more questions]
