Attention #FoD I'm calling a McLaughlin Group in conference room 1.

Issue 1: the group P1 and what it says.

I know @geoff_green @mikey and @mikemayer have pledged to support it but if anyone else wants to get involved then throw some scarves into the hoods ko-fi. The more people who get in the cheaper it is.

So if you have a suggestion for the P1 join us in the conference room for a brain storm and a hoof.

@Bridgemakes @geoff_green @mikey @mikemayer I tossed some scarves in for this.

My thought was to say it was from the crew of the Mastodon, but a variation like Bridge's works. I like the to being Ben and Adam. We could congratulate them for possibly being done with their tour. And maybe call in a drop throw out a moopsy? I dunno

I've not gotten up to the moopsy ep of greatest trek yet. I'm so far behind.

I tell you what I'll write up a rough outline of what I have in mind, once I've had breakfast, and you guys can let me know what you think

How about this,

"From: captain DeSoto and the Mastodon crew.

To: Ben and Adam

I hear you boys have just completed an internal tour of your live show. Upon this occasion I, and my senior officers, would like to extend to you hearty congratulations. The next time you are on the Hood please join me in the cetacean ops/ tiki bar for a celebratory hoof."

Feel free to go a completely different direction if you want or add drops ect

@Bridgemakes @howiecohen @mikey @geoff_green @godzilak dropped some scarves for it.

What about “USS Mastodon crew” ?

Show threadMike MayerNov 8, 2023
@Bridgemakes @howiecohen @mikey @geoff_green @godzilak actually I’m not sure. We’re saying “crew” which implies a ship and naturally that’s the Hood or from Mastodon. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@mikemayer @Bridgemakes @howiecohen @geoff_green @godzilak
We could phrase it as Captain DeSoto and the Crew of the FoD Mastodon or crew of friendsofdesoto.social.

We'd be venturing into promotional territory there, which we're trying to avoid. Mostly just trying to slide into the P1 box and say something funny, not advertise for the Mastodon this time around,

@Bridgemakes @howiecohen @mikey @mikemayer @godzilak I like it! What drops would be appropriate? I have a terrible memory for drops, especially older ones.

@mikey @geoff_green @howiecohen @mikemayer @godzilak if you were to go with that main body for the P1 then my suggestion for a drop would be a to end it with a chakotay sounds great or to throw a curve ball and drop in a for some reason, Jake Sisco

@Bridgemakes @geoff_green @howiecohen @mikemayer @godzilak Sorry, just getting back to this. How's this for a punch up:

I and my senior officers would like to congratulate you for completing your international tour, and sharing your embarrassment with FoDs around the world. We raise our hooves and salute you. And in honor, Chief O'Brien drop.

GoodNews: Priority One is in the can as of this afternoon.
Bad News: I think I f'ed my email address up on the form, because I didn't get the form reply I usually get, which I find a tad concerning.

@mikey @Bridgemakes @geoff_green @mikemayer @godzilak maybe @wyndepriddy can check with the folks at Max Fun and correct it?

I can probably email Dan, the guy at Max Fun in charge of the Jumbotron messages. I have the receipt since I used PayPal, so I've got that going for me. But either way the message is in. I just like having the email that says "hey here's the message you put in"

@mikey @Bridgemakes @geoff_green @mikemayer @godzilak @wyndepriddy Maybe it's like the Ferengi Genesis Device and you have to put in two more slips of Latinum to get a receipt.

If there isn't much of a run up w/r/t P1's then we'll find out soon enough if you brought the P1. That will be our receipt
