Elf Crash Murphy and several of the Elf Supervisors met in Elf Chat to answer questions of the elf community. This is a transcript of their conversation:
| Elf Max | Trying to get the supes in here now….they don’t know what to do!!! |
| Elf Chocolate Snowflakes | yes |
| Elf Pinky | Hey!!! |
| Elf Ulan | Yeah, Elf Max |
| Elf Ulan | Hello, Elf Pincky! |
| Elf Ulan | Elf Pinky! |
| Elf Max | Ok, from what I can see….we have Elf Randi from Sector 1 here… |
| Elf Chocolate Snowflakes | hi pinky |
| Elf Max | Elf Rolf from Sector 3 |
| Elf Max | Elf Pinky from Sector 5 |
| Elf Max | Crash is here…. |
| Elf Ulan | Hello, Elf Randi! |
| Elf Max | We’re missing Elf Tubby from Sector 4, who has internet issues |
| Elf Max | And Elf Clif, who can’t make it. |
| Elf Ulan | Hello, Elf Rolf! |
| Elf Max | Crash, did I miss anyone? |
| Elf Ulan | Hi, Elf Crash! XD |
| Elf Rolf Janssen | Hello everyone |
| Elf Crash Murphy | I think we are good to go |
| Elf Randi Hume | Hi everyone! |
| Elf Max | Ok, everyone…lots of people here, I’ll do the best I can to keep order |
| Elf Max | We want this to be a very open chat |
| Elf Max | We’ll try to take it one at a time, but we want you guys to ask your questions. The supervisors as I understand it do NOT have an agenda. This is all about your questions. |
| Elf Max | So…that being said….who has a question? |
| Elf Crusader | I do. |
| Elf Max | Ok, fire away |
| elfbubbletea | hey guys! |
| Elf Crusader | Elf Pinky, if an elf moves, do they have to reapply for a city captain position |
| Elf Max | Go ahead, Crusader |
| Elf Crusader | Or any position |
| Elf Pinky | Good question, Crusader. We should talk about it, yes. We don’t want to kick someone out. I heard you were moving |
| Elf Crusader | Is my question not showing? |
| Elf Crash Murphy | City Captain is very location specific. So move to a city where there is no City Captain, Crusader |
| Elf Ulan | Elf Randi, how are my reports so far? I want to know what weather report you need, wind, temperature, etc. |
| Elf Crusader | I am ma’am. To Iowa |
| Elf Randi Hume | Elf Ulan. Your reports are excellent. The biggest help in reporting the weather right now is the forecast for the next couple of days. With the sleigh in our sector right now, it helps |
| Elf Max | Great questions! |
| Elf Chocolate Snowflakes | elf pinky what is your favorite thing about Christmas time? |
| Elf Pinky | I heard all the elves in Sector 3 are shorter than 5’2″. Is that true? |
| Elf Crusader | Crash, what do you expect of us this year? |
| Elf Pinky | I love tracking Santa. It’s my life, Elf CS |
| Elf Rolf Janssen | No, that’s not true, Pinky. I hear all the elves in Sector 5 wear pink. |
| Elf Crash Murphy | I’ll hold off on answering that for now, Crusader. I think Elf Pinky should answer that |
| Elf Pinky | I hope they do, Rolf!!! |
| Elf Crash Murphy | You two…. |
| Elf Crusader | Pinky, what do you expect of sector 5 this year |
| Elf Pinky | Expectations? I would expect our elves to be present and paying attention. Ready for anything |
| Elf Pinky | For the record, we’re in good shape right now. Right on target |
| Elf Ulan | Thank you, Elf Randi. So I can keep my style. Do you need to send the report tomorrow or Tuesday this time? |
| Elf Pinky | October is going to be a busy time for us |
| Elf Crusader | Do we know when Santa will be home? |
| Elf Randi Hume | Elf Ulan, I prefer the weekly reports any time on Tuesday |
| Elf Crash Murphy | No clue about Santa, Crusader. People are starting to talk. |
| Elf Max | Pinky, when is the best time to send in chimney inspections? |
| Elf Pinky | That’s an October thing, Max. Early enough to still have good weather but late enough for the information to be current for Santa |
| Elf Ulan | Elf Randi, thank you! I’ll send it on the regular day. How about the local Christmas reports I send? |
| Elf Max | Is Sector 5 still the biggest one in terms of numbers of elves? |
| Elf Pinky | Yes, by far. |
| Elf notJack | I have a question for Elf Pinky |
| Elf Pinky | Go ahead, Jill |
| Elf Pinky | Sorry, Elf NotJack |
| Elf Chocolate Snowflakes | wow that’s alot of elves here in sector 5 |
| Elf notJack | Uhh |
| Elf notJack | Okay so, I’m not quite sure what I’m supposed to be doing right now in terms of reports could you explain your expectations? |
| Elf Crash Murphy | If you wanna get under Pinky’s skin, just call her Red |
| Elf Rolf Janssen | Hey Red! |
| Elf Crusader | How am I personally doing so far pinky? |
| Elf Pinky | Report expectations are pretty light. I’d like to see a weather report once a week right now, just to help with test flights |
| Elf Pinky | We want as well to be sending in reports that notes BIG changes locally since last Christmas |
| Elf Chocolate Snowflakes | I have a question for pinky |
| Elf notJack | Okay thank you! |
| Elf Pinky | Also, any upcoming road construction would be great to note as well |
| Elf Pinky | But I’m not asking for a ton of specifics right now, that changes after Oct 1 or if I get something new from North Pole Flight Command |
| Elf Crash Murphy | Guys, as me that question at the end of the chat…. |
| Elf Ulan | Elf Randi, please tell me about the Local Christmas reports. My area is still very quiet, and my reports are okay or not |
| Elf Crusader | Am I still sector lead? |
| Elf Chocolate Snowflakes | where i live don’t have an chimney and the area of where i live doesn’t’ have chimneys either what do i do if you call a chimney report? |
| Elf Randi Hume | It is quiet in many areas, Elf Ulan. But things are changing quickly. I’m noticing in my travels a lot more Christmas out there. Online and offline, people are talking a lot more about Christmas |
| Elf Pinky | GREAT questions Elf CS. If you have no chimneys just don’t send in a report. No need to confuse things by reporting on something that isn’t there. This is a common thing. |
| Elf Crusader | What if there’s no test flight in your area? |
| Elf Max | Will we have the same Sector Lead in Sector 5 as we did last year? (Sorry, Crusader) |
| Elf Pinky | Yes, Crusader is our Lead |
| Elf Crusader | No problem max |
| Elf Rolf Janssen | The test flights are more in your areas than you know. There are 12 sleighs flying out there. They aren’t always together |
| Elf Randi Hume | We sure have a lot of flights in Sector 1 right now |
| Elf Ulan | Elf Randi, thank you, I’m looking forward to changing the time, we will see when it happens! |
| Elf Max | How much do the test flights matter, Pinky? |
| Elf Pinky | They are great for training. It feels kind of low key because those flights are going so well. They don’t need or ask much from us. At least for now. |
| Elf Crash Murphy | That could change though. |
| Elf Max | What do you mean, Crash? |
| Elf Crash Murphy | What I hear is that that test flights are doing so well, they are pushing the agenda forward. Not even sure if it will be flown come December, They are moving fast. So keep track of them |
| Elf Ulan | Elf Randi, yes, they came to my area too! XD |
| Elf Pinky | What could they ask of us, Crash? |
| Elf Crusader | Pinky, is there anything that I should be doing as sector lead right now? |
| Elf Crash Murphy | Weather mostly. But I hear rumors they may engage our trackers in some….special assignments. |
| Elf Crusader | Special assignments? |
| Elf Pinky | Crusader, you’re doing it. When new elves come on board, become their friend. This goes for all of you. We can all do a better job of sharing information and skills |
| Elf Ulan | Elf Crash, do you know Santa’s sleigh is with the test flights now? |
| Elf Crusader | Happy to do so , pinky! |
| Elf Crash Murphy | Can’t say anything more than that, Crusader. But what would you think if they sent a test flight right over your house and told you it was coming. Would you watch? |
| Elf Chocolate Snowflakes | elf crash how heavy is the sleigh? |
| Elf Crash Murphy | Elf Ulan, I have no idea about that. Santa’s got a different agenda. I don’t think he is with the test flights, no. |
| Elf Crusader | I would crash |
| Elf Crash Murphy | Chocolate Snowflakes, I have no real idea. At least 15 pounds. |
| Elf Pinky | I have a feeling that Santa is back in Sector 5. Just a feeling. |
| Elf Chocolate Snowflakes | cool |
| Elf Pinky | Ok, Crash – I’ll ask it. What are your expectations of us? |
| Elf Randi Hume | I think it’s a little heavier than 15 pounds, Crash |
| Elf Crash Murphy | My expectations. Ok, listen up. |
| Elf Crusader | From what I hear, Santa has a friend who lives in Minnesota who he’s been visiting |
| Elf Ulan | Elf Crash, thank you, okay, he got a different agenda. Do you know what it is? |
| Elf Crash Murphy | Right and for the next month ONLY, I’d like the Elf Supervisors to focus a little bit on Elf recruiting |
| Elf Crash Murphy | We don’t need a lot of new elves. |
| Elf Crash Murphy | But I think making a small effort to have fresh eyes and new elves with us is a good idea |
| Elf Crash Murphy | Santa does not want MILLIONS of new elves like we did in past years….just a few |
| Elf Crash Murphy | So be selective |
| Elf Rolf Janssen | Ok |
| Elf Crash Murphy | Santa doesn’t sound to me like he’s coming back to the North Pole soon |
| Elf Crash Murphy | I’m guessing…Thanksgiving, maybe? I just don’t know |
| Elf Crash Murphy | BUT, when he gets back he’s going to have instruction for us |
| Elf Crusader | When do things start kicking into high gear for us? |
| Elf Crash Murphy | My experience with him going on walkabout is that he always comes back with very specific information in certain areas |
| Elf Crash Murphy | High gear? Really high gear comes November |
| Elf Chocolate Snowflakes | when is a good time to send our christmas list? |
| Elf Ulan | Elf Crash, maybe Santa will not visit Canada this year with Mrs. Claus? |
| Elf Crash Murphy | And I think Santa may have some special stuff for us. I just want us to be ready for it. It could be different because it is a walkabout year |
| Elf Max | Elf Chocolate Snowflakes, I think Elf Hugo talked about wish lists in this morning’s North Pole Chat |
| Elf Crusader | How does mrs. C feel about Santa be gone for so long? |
| Elf Crash Murphy | Yes, it sounds like Santa’s not doing Thanksgiving in Canada. Which is WEIRD |
| Elf Crash Murphy | Mrs. Claus is a very strong lady. She’s the best. I don’t know how she feels about Santa being gone but I can tell you that Santa is a lot more active right now and talking to all of us by phone a great deal. I talked to him on Thursday |
| Elf Crusader | Is he watching this chat? |
| Elf Max | Did Santa give you any special instructions FOR US? |
| Elf Ulan | Elf Crash, thank you for telling it! |
| Elf Crash Murphy | Santa will read this transcript but I have no reason to believe he is online right now. |
| Elf Crash Murphy | Santa did not give any special instructions. I actually asked him that and he told me to just listen to my boss, Elf Roger Star of North Pole Flight Command |
| Elf Ulan | I hope Santa would be here! |
| Elf Crusader | Cool |
| Elf Chocolate Snowflakes | cool |
| Elf Crash Murphy | I know Santa was here last weekend…or at least a few weeks ago. He seemed pretty happy with his visit |
| Elf Crash Murphy | I would not be surprised if he hopped back on SantaTrackers.net every now and then going forward. We’re in the season now. Santa is engaged. |
| Elf Crusader | That’s good to hear |
| Elf Max | Ok, we’re over time – any last questions for Crash or the Elf Supervisors? |
| Elf Max | Supes, any last words? |
| Elf Crusader | Would any of you like to be on one of my podcasts |
| Elf Pinky | From what I can see every elf here is very experienced. You know what to do. I’ll do better to let you know what we need. |
| Elf Randi Hume | I will focus on some new elf blood going forward, Crash. I’m proud of my team! |
| Elf Ulan | Thank you, Elf Crash, and supervisors! I’m so delighted to see you today! I hope we will see you again soon! XD |
| Elf Rolf Janssen | I think it still may be possible to get Santa here for a tracker-elf only chat. He and I talked about that a long time ago. I know our elves want that very much |
| Elf Chocolate Snowflakes | bye |
| Elf Max | That would be very cool. Crash, is that possible? |
| Elf Crash Murphy | Yes sir. I talked about it with him too. Looks like December though |
| Elf Pinky | I’ll be here for that! |
| Elf Max | Ok, that’s a good note to end it on. Thank you everyone for being here! |
| Elf Pinky | Thanks everyone! |
| Elf Randi Hume | Good job everyone! |
| Elf Rolf Janssen | Semper Fi! |
| Elf Ulan | Elf Randi, Thank you so much! |
| Elf Crusader | Later everyone |
| Elf notJack | Than you supervisors! |
| Elf Chocolate Snowflakes | you’re welcome bye. |
| Elf Crash Murphy | Thanks, Max. Nice work. |
Thank you, Elf Max, the supervisors, and Elf Crash! It was fascinating. I’m so happy to talk to our supervisors, and I wanted to talk to other supervisors too.
I’m looking forward to hear what Santa will say to us soon! XD
