Hatchling Cockatrice Mea Tulpa Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 As promised, here's my waste of time for the evening: Many Meetings There are now 27 members hooked in to this behemoth at as many as 7 links apart from each other.

Rotghroth Rhapsody wz. As Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 What do the colors mean? EDIT: also, I saw Drakefyre on the street once but I only recognized him by his facebook picture and he didn't see/recognize me. does that count? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Mea Tulpa Posted October 27, 2009 Author Share Posted October 27, 2009 Green and blue lines indicate that the meeting predates SW. Green lines indicate the meeting continued and generally means one person on SW led to the other one being there. Blue indicates it was totally independent of SW. I may have coloured a few lines green that ought to be blue, not sure. Red indicates marriage. I've chosen not to indicate less officiated love relationships as a matter of rare good taste on my part. Oh, the colors of boxes are just some obvious groupings, Aussies, SFers, and Tyran's meetup.

Easygoing Eyebeast Dantius Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 What about Spddin and Artemis? Or are they independent of this web? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Mea Tulpa Posted October 27, 2009 Author Share Posted October 27, 2009 Yes, I had to limit it to people connected to this web. There are a few tiny groups besides it and probably more that aren't publicized -- for example ADoS and company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotghroth Rhapsody wz. As Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Nice. My line should be blue, if I even belong there at all — Sarachim and I went to the same high school at the same time but I don't recall ever actually speaking to him in person. edit: also, ash and marlenny are married?

Magnificent Ornk Kelandon Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 I suppose these are meetings in person, aren't they. I was wondering where my link to at least one other was, but then I remembered that I haven't met that person IRL. Uh, did Wizcozski ever meet Zeviz? I know we're all at Berkeley together, but I would've been surprised if that happened without my knowledge. Also, she and I should be linked with green (or possibly blue — I'm not sure I totally get the colors). If that is indeed Wizcozski that you're talking about, and not some other "Wiz," who in that case I would not have met at all and should not be connected to. Also, is that coloring on the link between Alec and Djur right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Mea Tulpa Posted October 27, 2009 Author Share Posted October 27, 2009 Re Zeviz and Wiz, I was told that they met. You may know better, so if you're fairly sure and/or want to check with either of them, I'll delink them. Alec and Djur might need to be blue, but they definitely met pre-Spidweb. The green/blue distinction is that for green, the link itself is what led (directly or indirectly) to one party joining SW, so the link is a given and not a surprise. For blue, the link is totally independent of either party joining SW, resulting in a "wait... is that ___?" moment. I'll guess your link should be green, but let me know if it should in fact be blue. Also, I believe Tyranicus has 7 as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easygoing Eyebeast The Mystic Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I am apparently the center of the universe now.At least on paper, and only as far as Slarty's linkup chart goes. Then again, anyone who knows me (though they wouldn't know me as The Mystic) has absolute proof that I am, at least locally, the center of all weirdness.

Ineffable Wingbolt JadeWolf Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 This includes only IRL meetings, right? Does stuff like phone calls, skype etc. count?

Hatchling Cockatrice Mea Tulpa Posted October 28, 2009 Author Share Posted October 28, 2009 If phone calls counted it would be a chart of Marlenny, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Tyranicus Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I don't know if Marl has actually talked to more people on the phone/Skype than I. My list would be: Alec, Andraste, Aran, Ash Lael, Ephesos, and TM. If you want to be technical and include those I have actually met as well, the list would include Dikiyoba, Lenar, Marlenny, Nicothodes, and Slarty.

Hatchling Cockatrice Mea Tulpa Posted October 29, 2009 Author Share Posted October 29, 2009 Well, depending on how strictly one defines yearning. If you exclude all the farcical, non-serious "yearnings" as well as the impersonal comments about Dolphin's (or whoever's) picture being hot, there isn't too much left, and most of what's left is not connected. To my knowledge, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Kelandon Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 If you went far back enough, we'd basically all circle around Rosycat. If tragic yearning was in one color and otherwise yearning was in another, it might be a sight to see. Varying levels of activity could be indicated in other colors, and... yes, that would be inspiring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rotghroth Rhapsody Hypnotic Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 It will be hard for me to meet a fellow spiderwebber. Unless they happen to be one of the four million Newzealnders. Hopefully living nearby, and think that spiderwebbers are not unique spiders. I perfer the southern hemisphere. Partly because I don't have a choice and partly because Happy feet lives down here. Gotta love fluffy penguins. If nobody lives in the north than the Zombies must have taken over. Curse those threads! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's too bad I couldn't make it out to Tyran's meetup in January. I've only talked to people from here on AIM or MSN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
