21:02:31 <NomadOfNorad> Don't mind my typos.... just got a new keyboard, with keys that are placed just different enough, and are harder to press, than the old one, that it throws me off slightly wrt keypresses.
21:03:25 <NomadOfNorad> And yeah, who here has the Announcements access to send messages? Ain't me.
21:03:54 <Wanda_FL> I think it may have slipped our minds over here to do that
21:04:08 <tjcrowley> I have made some knowledge transfers and after this week I will have bank access. I should be able to report on fec deadlines within the next 30 days
21:04:24 <NomadOfNorad> Kewlnesses
21:04:47 <tjcrowley> I also have access to youtube and am researching how to connect twitter with OBS
21:05:33 <DreadPirateDrew> great. looking forward to expanding our reach
21:05:46 <tjcrowley> speaking of
21:06:06 <tjcrowley> I am wondering how to propose new ideas
21:06:08 <Wanda_FL> what is the plan for our election night stream?
21:06:15 <Wanda_FL> do we have a planned start/end time?
21:06:50 <DreadPirateDrew> well I won't be available until 9:30pm eastern
21:07:34 <tjcrowley> I'll figure out the twitter thing and coordinate on the events channel in discord
21:07:35 <NomadOfNorad> This meeting here? Typically ends when we run out of stuff to decide... Lately, that's not been too long.
21:07:37 <Wanda_FL> would that be the earliest we could start or would you just be a late arrival?
21:08:24 <DreadPirateDrew> I certainly don't object to someone starting earlier than that
21:08:45 * vermin has joined
21:08:54 <tjcrowley> VERMIN
21:09:13 <Wanda_FL> Well I'd probably be available as early as 6 or 7 eastern for that. Though I know I can't exactly start it by myself so it depends on other people
21:09:33 <NomadOfNorad> I wonder if its worth on-demand-printing some "Go Vermin Go!" flags to wave.
21:09:50 <NomadOfNorad> Nah, probably too late to get them printed,
21:09:53 <DreadPirateDrew> remember the polls don't even close here until 8pm
21:10:22 <tjcrowley> @wanda_fl I'll start it. Like I said let's coordinate onn the discord event channel
21:10:33 <NomadOfNorad> Well, too late to get them SHIPPED once printed, really.
21:10:41 <vermin> GREETINGS PIRATES !
21:10:47 <Wanda_FL> Alrighty!! Sorry I mustve missed when you said that but Ill try to!!
21:10:59 * iamv has joined

21:11:32 <tjcrowley> hey @vermin are you ready to come back to san francisco?
21:11:45 <LightRiderTX> ahoy vermin
21:12:45 <vermin> I believe Realz and co are doing and election night stream. perhaps y'all can pop over or i can pop over to your stream or what ever we can make happen between streams.
21:13:36 <Wanda_FL> Oh wow I wasn't aware of that.
21:13:58 <tjcrowley> we can figure that out or we can make it all one big stream
21:14:51 <Wanda_FL> I was gonna say, it would probably be better to do just one steam rather than pull from eachother
21:15:22 <vermin> Ill reach out to him.
21:15:22 <DreadPirateDrew> Pirate Vermin Supreme Mega Stream
21:15:24 <tjcrowley> stronger together!
21:15:48 <tjcrowley> I'll email you, vermin
21:16:17 <DreadPirateDrew> sounds awesome!
21:16:24 <vermin> I believe we have full strength streamyard that shoul allow plenty of participants/guests.
21:16:45 <LightRiderTX> Stream the Steal
21:17:01 <tjcrowley> I can route it through obs to our youtube and twitter channels
21:17:59 <vermin> Also if I may The week long camPain swing thru Delaware was a resounding enuf success. From Dover to Rehobeth, from Newark to Trenton the team of Supreme/Realz spread the good word across the first state and people of Delaware. Seven Days, seven shows, some with audiences! Seven days of pavement pounding meeting the people. A wonderful range of reactions as always. A significant victory occurred
21:18:33 <iamv> yeehaw
21:18:48 <LightRiderTX> yay! and yay V
21:18:50 <vermin> A significant victory occurred when the University of DE attempted to launch their mock election without including us under the excuse of ’not confusing the children.’ . After applying mock political pressure and creating mock outrage on campus the Joe Biden Institute Of Political Engagement or whatever came to their senses and added us. Smart money says we get more votes in the Mock than the Gen
21:19:18 <vermin> Speaking of which, I beat Cornel West on the polymarket betting site Although I hear he is making a comeback.. I hope to have a more detailed assessment in the nearish future.
21:19:19 <Wanda_FL> Is there a way to view the results of that?
21:19:28 <tjcrowley> which is the real mock election?
21:19:35 <Wanda_FL> I thought I read it was being conducted over Halloween
21:20:02 <vermin> It was . I am sure they are hiding my sweep.
21:20:22 * NomadOfNorad gets a goofy, lopsided smile.
21:21:08 <Wanda_FL> It's so shameful they hide information from the duly elected President of Delaware..
21:23:14 <DreadPirateDrew> just make sure the link to join is charged with the board
21:23:44 <tjcrowley> will do
21:24:02 <NomadOfNorad> Are they afraid they'll get smacked upside the head with a boot if you don't like the results? :)
21:24:03 <DreadPirateDrew> I'll even dress up in my constable uniform for yall
21:24:15 <Wanda_FL> Awesome!!
21:24:16 <iamv> nice drew
21:25:15 * iamv has quit
21:25:15 <DreadPirateDrew> anything else we need to discus?
21:25:55 <Wanda_FL> Nothing from me.
21:26:40 <tjcrowley> i wanted to ibroach the topic of the california pirate party hosting the convention in 2025, if we can figure out how to keep it cost effective 21:27:20 <DreadPirateDrew> would you like to put that on the agenda for next week?
21:27:21 <vermin> lection Night broadcast I make every effort to NOT KNOW the actual results. So please don't ruin for me as we move forward. I wqill not stand for reality trying to get in the way of my delusions.
21:27:31 <tjcrowley> Yes I would
21:28:11 <Wanda_FL> damn thats unfortunate
21:28:17 <DreadPirateDrew> sounds good to me.
21:28:20 <tjcrowley> I do not know exactly how many people but I can figure out with as few as 20
21:28:23 <Wanda_FL> i wanted to loudly announce the results to everyone who doesnt have cnn
21:28:27 <Wanda_FL> :c
21:29:13 <vermin> Well I can just close my eyes and go LaLaLa if somebody strays into reality
21:29:23 <DreadPirateDrew> I will have it as an action item for the jitsi
21:29:51 <tjcrowley> I'll have my notes ready :P
21:30:15 <Wanda_FL> As long as you can ignore reality by not seeing it and blocking out the noise we'll be good?
21:30:24 <Wanda_FL> Because I think itll work out that way
21:30:37 <DreadPirateDrew> any other business?
21:30:53 <tjcrowley> nope
