[INTERACTION] - Name That Rock Winners Chat Forgive my noobiness, but what's this "chat" I see people posting about?
[EDIT] This topic was split off from a locked topic, seeing that it was more or less used to coordinate some chat-related things I thought it warranted it's own topic --Gisk

The 'chat' is a bonus prize for the finalists of the competition:
Quote:
All finalists are eligible to participate in a private online chat with Orbicon COO, Steven Mae. Finalists will be able to ask Steven questions about the space station, space elevator and what it is like to live on an orbital colony.
I'm guessing it will be either a chat room or messenger conversation. The finalists will have a chance to grill Steven Mae.

Oh, okay (I read that, too, but I guess it didn't register ). Thanks for the clarification.

I'm available as well. I even have a list of questions made up! (What? I was bored last night) At the least I'd love to join in as a guest and watch!
I bet ONE of the finalists is a CARTS plant...

I wan't to watch to.
I think we should ask about his family/social life on the station. Steven Mae is supposed to be the main character in this arg so we need to find out as much as we can about him.

Are you able to use IRC? If so, and if they allow others to watch, would you be willing to log the whole chat and post it in the forum? Most of the people who are part of the press conference will be attempting to do this, but if the chat moves fast, it can be difficult. It is always nice to have someone there whose only responsibility is logging the chat.

I'm still awaiting password info. Also, the IRC program I use auto logs everything, so unless someone else beats me to it, I'll post it as soon as I can.
