and the office of Masterhealer will be changed to Master of Ceremonies,
once two final members approve it.
3. Statue/RP Proposal: This proposal to change the "you must
heal at the statue at every log in" to include a requirement
to also include a requirement to advertise on the RP channel was NOT
approved after much discussion.
4. Clan Tease Emote: Voting commenced and a clan tease was approved
and sent to Tasha. The tease shall be: It-uile sees: You reach out

pulsing current lashes
through your being. As it dissipates, you feel strangely better.
This shockingly beneficial zap was from Siveke.
5. Promotions: Siveke will be promoted to Junior Apprentice. If the
Aspirant Proposal goes through, then all those members who are Junior
Apprentice or Senior Apprentice will be promoted to Apprentice.

*****************************************************************************
Pixie exclaims:
Welcome all to the meeting, glad you could all make it!
Pixie says: I'm hoping that Varn unidles and joins us, and that Siveke
will show up, but I think we should get started, in case they don't.
Darien nods.
Pixie exclaims: A little update on Cat. I saw her earlier this week.
She was leeching the net off her parents. She should have her own
internet within 2 weeks, so yay!
Krom cheers excitedly.
Pixie says: Dondalus is still without computer access, and Tarahawen
had other commitments, so they could not join us.
Pixie says: I have a general agenda I usually follow for meetings,
but it's being thrown out today so that we can focus on proposals
to change the clan charter.
Pixie says: I have three proposals that have been presented, then
I'd like to decide on a clan tease for Tasha's glass, and finally,
I believe Siveke deserves a promotion.
Pixie says: Once we get thru all that, we're done. :)
Quinn smiles happily.
Pixie says: So first thing's first...at the Jan 31st meeting, we discussed
the "Aspirant Proposal"
Pixie says: Go look here to see all about it.
Pixie says: http://www.geocities.com/ituile_clan/article16.html
Pixie says: The only comment I got from people was that Quinn suggested
adding the requirement that the non-healer prospective member bring
X amount of healing items to us to show their devotion.
Pixie takes a deep breath.
Pixie asks: Right now I'd like to open up the floor to discussion.
First of all, do you like the suggestions that have been made? Second
of all, should we add on Quinn's suggestion? Third, is there anyone
seriously opposed, or evenly mildly opposed to this proposal?
Quinn says: I like the proposal, and naturally, I think my proposed
addition is just too cool for words.
Darien says: I like the suggestions, including Quinn's addition.
Krom says: I am in favor of all proposed changes.
Quinn says: I think we should specify that the healing items need
to be freely available ones. i.e., no going out and buying beer.
Pixie says: How many items do you think the player should present?
I don't want it to be so high that it's intimidating (think: Bacc's
requirements)
Quinn says: We can make a scavenger list like we did for the clan
event.
Quinn asks: How about seven?
Krom says: I still have that scavenger hunt list, even.
Quinn nogs noggingly.
Pixie says: Personally, I don't want to limit them to a list, and
I don't have a problem with them buying 1-2 items, but I don't want
them to feel they HAVE to buy things.
Pixie says: and I probably wouldn't want them to go and buy everything.
Quinn nods solemnly.
Darien says: Most of the scavenger hunt list was things you can find
Krom says: I was thinking ten sounded good. Seven works for me too
though.
Quinn says: Remember many moons ago when someone came up with a mini
event for the mud? There was a scavenger hunt but a wiz coded up an
object that "registered" found items.
Pixie says: What if we told them they had to have X amount of things
and if they need help, we could have the list available for them to
look at.
Quinn nods solemnly.
Pixie says: Elwing made an item, which we could probably get ahold
of again, but I don't think it would be necessary for what we're doing.
Pixie asks: So, 7 or 10?
Pixie says: I'm going to work on wording for the description of the
aspirant.
Darien says: That little twig would be more work than anything for
our purposes.
Quinn says: I'm all about overkill, baby.
Pixie says: Actually, I don't think it belongs in the description
of the Aspirant.
Darien says: Maybe 7 for players, 10 for those (few and far between)
SHero mages under 30? ;)
Pixie says: I believe it goes in the Initiation right.
Quinn nods to Pixie solemnly.
Pixie asks: 7 for players, 10 for heroes?
Krom says: Sounds good.
Darien says: and either way (aspirant or initiation rite), the twig
is too much hassle to use for each and every time ;)
Krom says: ... to me.
Darien says: i'd say put the scavenger hunt list on the webpage somewhere
so they can look at it if they need help thinking of items
Pixie takes a deep breath.
Pixie says: Proposed Passage: Initiation Rite: When interested and
able to heal, a prospective member informs a clan member of interest.
After discussion in the clan, they decide whether or not to offer
an invitation to the prospective member. After presenting the prospective
with an invitation, the prospective must prove their healing abilities
for the members present. Then he or she is invited into the clan.
Note: If there is someone who is strongly interested in the clan,
but does not have a healing spell yet, they can join the clan as an
Aspirant. In inviting a player to be an Aspirant, the clan promises
to tutor the member in the ways of healing. The player promises to
fulfill the requirements to acquire a healing ability and then show
them to the clan. To be admitted as an Aspirant, instead of being
required to prove their healing abilities, he or she must present
a clan officer with healing items (7 for players, 10 for heroes).
Pixie says: I just added the last sentence.
Pixie says: I'm wondering if I should separate this all out. Have
a part that applies to both, then descriptions for the specifics for
the Acolyte and specifics for the Apprentice.
Darien nods solemnly.
Pixie asks: Should I work on the wording now, or later?
Darien says: later
Pixie says: OK.
Krom nods solemnly.
Pixie says: That would be the basic idea of it, it would just be the
wording that would be changed.
Krom says: Looks good to me.
Pixie says: Voting time.
Pixie says: Keep in mind, this is something that I would like unanimous
approval of.
Pixie says: I would assume that the following people would approve
of this, since they brainstormed it at the 1/31 meeting: Tarahawen,
Varn, Darien, and Pixie
Darien agrees.
Pixie says: So, everyone else, please say 'yes' if you want this change
to be made.
Krom says: yes
Quinn says: yes
Darien pokes the gnome
Pixie says: This just leaves Cat and Siveke.
Pixie asks: Do I wait for them to vote?
Pixie says: I asked Cat to read the board and send me mail about this
(when she was on earlier this week), but I guess she didn't get to
it.
Pixie says: Siveke has had a chance to see it, but I don't recall
seeing messages from her about it.
Krom asks: How about we ask siveke via email?
Pixie says: So I can mail Siveke to get confirmation (unless she shows
up during the meeting).
Darien says: I assume she'd be all for it since she wanted to join
before she could heal ;)
Darien says: But yeah, mail her and get her vote. I say we go ahead
and exclude Cat from this one though since there's no way to know
when she'll be back.
Pixie says: Yeah, I informed her about the proposal at the time. She
said she didn't mind waiting (at least initially).
Krom says: Cat - with her being out of touch I think we should not
hold up for her vote until she's active again.
Pixie says: Alright, I will mail Siveke. As soon as she tells me yes,
I will change it. I believe I'll just have to change the webpage and
then I THINK I can change the levels without having to get a wizzie
involved.
Krom says: Unless one of you has a way to reach cat through other
channels.
Darien says: You can, Pixie. It's quite simple really.
Pixie says: I really wanted her input, since she's my second...but
I'll have to go without it.
Pixie says: I thought so. ;)
Pixie says: Oh, and with this, you all are accepting everything on
that webpage as is (except for the intitiation rite that I'm going
to reword and add the thing about the healing items)
Pixie exclaims: Next!
Pixie says: Masterhealer vs. Master Healer
Krom grins evilly.
Pixie says: Krom proposed (and Tarahawen seconded) changing the name
of one of those.
Pixie says: Krom seemed to like the idea of changing Masterhealer
(the officer). He suggested Paladin, Bishop, and Crusader. Tarahawen
liked Paladin.
Krom says: I had another idea too.
Pixie says: I need to get laundry out of the washer and dryer, so
while I'm doing that, y'all brainstorm more ideas (and/or discuss
whether or not you want to make a change).
Pixie opens the floor.
Darien asks: what other idea, Krom?
Krom says: Change Master Healer to simply 'Healer', make the 'officer'
title "Master Healer".
Darien says: but we're ALL healers
Krom says: True.
Darien says: seems like it would be confusing to have a rank as such
Krom nods solemnly.
Krom says: Could be.
Darien searches dictionary.com for a bit
Pixie says: I liked how Krom said that people like being a "Master
Healer". It DOES sound prestigious, and I think it's good for
members to
strive to be a Master Healer.
Pixie says: I, personally, like the idea of changing the name of the
officer.
Krom says: My ideas for changing the officer title were to make it
reflect a bit more what the role is.
Krom says: Ah, thanks for reminding me of that, Pixie. :)
Darien says: and what is the role? ;)
Pixie says: To plan events.
Quinn says: We can create a title 'Healing Peon' and then 'Master
Healer' makes more sense.
Pixie says: To go and throw parties and things.
Pixie says: I did kind of like the idea of a Paladin, but that's just
cause it sounded cool and others liked it. ;)
Krom says: Lead raids, organize things.
Pixie says: Oh, and if there was a raid, that officer would be in
charge if I couldn't make it.
Krom says: Right.
Pixie asks: Ok, first off...who thinks we should change ONE of the
names?
Darien raises her hand.
Krom raises his hand.
Pixie says: Second, say "officer" or "hero" or
"either" to tell me which you think should be changed.
Darien says: officer
Krom says: officer
Pixie asks: Quinn?
Quinn says: Sorry was in another window
Quinn says: either
Pixie says: oh, and I say officer
Darien says: i don't really like 'paladin' though :(
Pixie says: So I say we change the officer. ;)
Pixie says: So right now, everyone brainstorm names for the officer,
keeping in mind what it's job is.
Pixie says: I'm going to pull up the description right now.
Pixie says: If my internet will work. ;)
Krom says: I had proposed paladin due to the 'warrior healer' aspect
of the job.
Pixie says: OK, my internet is NOT going to work.
Darien says: Paladin, to me, is a royal lackey though.. a knight who
fights for a cause.. not a healer
Pixie exclaims: Yay, it worked!
Pixie takes a deep breath.
Pixie says: 11 Masterhealer: This is the Officer responsible for arranging
the clan raids and quests. He or she is responsible for coordinating
members and times so that as many as possible will be present. Also,
expected to lead raids if the leaders cannot be present. When there
is no Masterhealer, the Clan Second shall perform these duties.
Krom goes hmmmm....
Pixie says: Brainstorm ideas while I put my clothes away. ;)
Krom says: Planning/organizing seems to be the main thing.
Krom says: maitre'd? ;)
Darien asks: perhaps 'Commander' ?
Krom says: Has potential.
Darien snickers at the Synonyms of 'organizer' on dictionary.com...slave
driver, straw boss..
Quinn says: Pharmicist? :)
Krom says: I'm trying to come up with ideas and coming up blank. ;
Krom says: Heh
Pixie says: Pharmacist is too close to what the Apothecary is and
does.
Darien nods solemnly.
Quinn asks: Croaker?
Darien says: another I like on this page is Ambassador
Krom says: I think in the military Executive Officers do what the
masterhealer role is.
Quinn asks: Nurse?
Darien says: Philosopher ;)
Krom says: Ambassador has the connotation of representing clan interests
to other clans I think.
Quinn says: Physicker
Pixie says: That wouldn't be bad, Krom.
Pixie says: I'm keeping track of ALL suggestions made. :)
Krom asks: I thought that fell under you and cat?
Quinn says: Administrative Assistant? ;)
Pixie says: Well, the officer that plans raids and such might have
to plan plots with other clans, so they might have to talk with other
clan leaders
Varn enters the meeting room.
Krom nods solemnly.
Varn sits down.
Quinn waves to Varn.
Varn rumbles: Sorry.
Krom exclaims: Hi Varn!
Pixie exclaims: He returns!
Pixie says: captain
Varn rumbles: Unexpected delay.
Darien says: I just saw that one
Krom says: No worries. We could use your vocabulary.
Pixie says: We're brainstorming ideas of things to replace Masterhealer
(the officer).
Pixie says: I'll update you on we finish this. :)
Varn asks: Because of Master Healer?
Krom nods solemnly.
Pixie says: because it's too confusing for most (heck, I have to go
looking to see which one's which each time...usually by fingering
Alexis). ;)
Pixie says: master, superintendent
Darien says: mastermind
Krom asks: Master of Disaster?
Krom says: Er, maybe not. ;)
Pixie says: we aren't ironfist. ;)
Krom laughs.
Quinn says: Maestro
Quinn asks: Swami?
Varn ponders the situation.
Pixie says: designer, draftsman, planner
Quinn asks: Chieftain?
Quinn asks: Hierarch?
Varn asks: What is the job description again?
Krom asks: Director?
Quinn asks: Savant?
Darien asks: marauder ?
Quinn is just running through the thesaurus
Krom nods solemnly.
Quinn bonks Darien on the head.
Krom says: I found Director that way
Pixie takes a deep breath.
Pixie says: 11 Masterhealer: This is the Officer responsible for arranging
the clan raids and quests. He or she is responsible for coordinating
members and times so that as many as possible will be present. Also,
expected to lead raids if the leaders cannot be present. When there
is no Masterhealer, the Clan Second shall perform these duties.
Pixie says: yep, in the thesaurus
Pixie says: This is how we came up with aspirant ;)
Quinn says: Sounds like Shit Stirrer would work best
Darien says: maraud ; To rove and raid in search of plunder.
Varn pokes Pixie in the ribs.
Quinn says: Schemer :)
Varn rumbles: I come up with aspirant without a thesaurus.
Pixie exclaims: What? You asked for the job description!
Varn frowns.
Pixie says: oh
Pixie says: Well, I know *I* was looking at the thesaurus online.
;)
Darien says: As was I ;)
Darien says: which is the same thing I'm doing now
Varn says: Do we need a raiding officer at all? We're not a hunting
clan.
Pixie says: well, it's not just about raids
Darien says: it's more about events than raids, i would think
Varn goes hmmmm....
Pixie says: we need to go and DO things, and cat and i don't want
to have HAVE to come up with it all
Varn goes hmmmm....
Pixie says: it's been cat's job while there was no masterhealer, but
she got busy.
Pixie says: it's nice to delegate jobs. ;)
Varn says: There is one obvious choice for a name, but I'm afraid
to say it.. :)
Quinn exclaims: Marshal!
Krom says: Sounds promising
Varn rumbles: Combat Medic.
Quinn slaps Varn with a trout.
Pixie says: ouchies
Krom grins at Varn evilly.
Krom says: has a nice ring
Pixie says: OK, here's our choices so far:
Pixie takes a deep breath.
Pixie says: paladin, bishop, crusader, maitre'd, commander, pharmacist,
croaker, ambassador, executive officer, nurse, philosopher, slave
driver, straw boss, administrative assistant, captain, master, superintendent,
mastermind, designer, draftsman, planner, maestro, swami, hierarch,
chieftain, director, savant, marauder, Shit Stirrer, marshal, combat
medic,
Varn rumbles: Point being, I've always been the combat medic, but
I'm not sure I'm up to being a clan officer.
Varn says: And we should promote Krom out of it. :)
Pixie says: I don't think it would be right to take it away from Krom
either. ;)
Quinn says: I don't think we'll get Shit Stirrer past X :)
Pixie laughs.
Krom snickers.
Darien says: I still like Ambassador, personally.
Pixie says: So, tell me your top 5 or so out of the list so we can
limit it.
Quinn says: Provost would work
Pixie says: Don't worry about a number...just tell me which ones should
stay on the list.
Quinn says: In fact, provost is a pretty darned good fit.
Varn rumbles: Provost sounds too Russian.
Quinn says: Odd, since it's etymology is Old English
Varn rumbles: Doesn't fit with the rest of them.
Pixie asks: the keeper of a prison?
Varn goes hmmmm....
Krom says: a high-ranking university administrative officer
Varn rumbles: How about Battle Savant?
Pixie says: I was hoping to start limiting the list, not adding to
it! :-P
Quinn says: And the chief dignitary of a collegiate or cathedral chapter
Krom asks: Special Operations?
Quinn says: Or the keeper of a prison.
Darien says: ambassador, magistrate, maestro
Darien says: AFK
Quinn says: There's also "provost guard" and "provost
marshal"
Pixie takes a deep breath.
Pixie says: paladin, bishop, crusader, maitre'd, commander, pharmacist,
croaker, ambassador, executive officer, nurse, philosopher, slave
driver, straw boss, administrative assistant, captain, master, superintendent,
mastermind, designer, draftsman, planner, maestro, swami, hierarch,
chieftain, director, savant, marauder, Shit Stirrer, marshal, combat
medic, provost, battle savant, special operations, magistrate
Pixie says: I'd rather have a one-word title, but that's just me.
Quinn nods solemnly.
Krom says: I kind of like Special Operations.
Krom says: I could have a black budget. Be all secret.
Krom winks.
Pixie asks: ambassador, magistrate, maestro, special operations are
on the short list...anything else for the short list?
Varn rumbles: Good, but anachronistic.
Varn rumbles: Battle Savant.
Krom says: hey...
Krom asks: What about "Steward" or "Event Steward"?
Pixie says: ambassador, magistrate, maestro, special operations, battle
savant, steward, event steward
Krom says: I think Event Steward actually works.
Quinn nods solemnly.
Varn rumbles: To me... it sounds...
Pixie says: sounds like something for an airplain
Varn rumbles: How about Master of Ceremonies?
Pixie says: sounds like something for an airplane
Krom says: ah
Krom says: master of cermonies was something that crossed my mind
a short while ago, actually.
Darien says: Oooh.. I like Master of Ceremonies
Quinn nogs noggingly.
Pixie says: 'ambassador, magistrate, maestro, special operations,
battle savant, steward, event steward, master of ceremonies
Pixie says: there's the list
Pixie says: pick your favorite
Varn rumbles: master of Ceremonies
Darien says: master of ceremonies
Quinn says: Agreed
Krom says: MC is lite on the 'planning' connotations. 'Event Steward"
is lite on leadership connotations. Master Steward? If people like
MC better then I'll go with MC.
Pixie says: OK, so I'm going to propose that we change "Masterhealer"
to "Master of Ceremonies."
Pixie says: All those in favor, say "yes".
Krom says: yes
Darien says: yes
Varn rumbles: Yes.
Quinn says: yes
Pixie says: I will mail Cat, Dondalus, Tarahawen, and Siveke. I will
wait for approval from Tara and Siveke before I proceed.
Krom says: nod
Pixie says: If I think to ask Dondalus about it on the phone, I will...but
I won't wait out for his approval (on a side note, if I didn't tell
y'all before, he approved of Aspirant).
Varn nods solemnly.
Varn rumbles: Of course
Varn rumbles: He's reasonable.
Varn grins evilly.
Krom smirks.
Pixie takes a deep breath.
Pixie says: Now, to go back for that update I was going to give Varn.
Everyone here approved changing to Aspirant (and requiring the prospective
to bring healing items (7 for players, 10 for heroes) to a clan officer
to be admitted, instead of healing an officer)
Pixie says: I'm going to reword the initiation description to have
what both do, and then separating what the acolyte and the aspirant
have to do.
Varn nods solemnly.
Pixie says: I assumed that since you approved of it on 1/31, you'd
approve now. Let me know if that's incorrect.
Pixie says: I'm going to mail Siveke, and once she approves, the changes
will be made.
Pixie exclaims: NEXT!
Pixie takes a deep breath.
Pixie says: Krom proposed changing a requirement of members. Right
now, members are expected to heal at the statue every login. He said
that was pretty much a given that people hang out there, and so we
should include that the member also be required to ADVERTISE that
they're healing.
Pixie says: This has been a recommendation that we've made to members,
but never specifically required it.
Pixie says: In looking at this, I feel that it's strong to say "every
login", because I might log in 5 different times on any day...one
of those times being early in the morning, and there's not always
people killing at those times.
Darien nods.
Krom nods solemnly.
Pixie says: I'm going to propose we say something like "each
day they log in" and that they "offer" healing.
Krom says: I check 'folks' a lot of times and notice everyone is ':)'.
Darien asks: how about saying "most logins"?
Pixie says: There are some times that I don't advertize that I'm healing...and
there's times that I advertise but don't get to heal.
Darien says: Though I don't necessarily like it being required
Pixie says: Alien's idea was NEVER for us to document how often you
heal and threaten to kick you out.
Pixie says: His idea was that you should be doing it, but you are
in charge of yourself.
Darien agrees with Alien on that
Pixie says: Oh, and *I* don't even hang out at the statue and usually
do my healing in the faerie glade.
Krom takes a deep breath.
Krom says: I was thinking of it in terms of how we might differentiate
ourselves from other clans is all. Lots of different people hang out
at the statue and heal. And iron fist does it sometimes to 'diffuse
the it-uile brand'. But I agree that I don't want some 'big brother
policy-adherence' atmosphere to it all.
Pixie says: One option is that we could leave it as is and leave it
up to the individual members to determine if they are doing what they
should be doing.
Darien says: I still do fly-by-healings more than I sit at the statue..
mostly because I dislike a lot of the people that congregate there
;)
Krom says: That's perfectly alright with me. I was just advocating
we advertise ourselves a bit more to help project the clan's identiy.
Krom nogs at Darien noggingly.
Pixie says: I usually encourage people to advertise that they are
healing...and it's in the descriptions of what people can do to role
play.
Darien asks: Can we just leave it as being strongly suggested that
we advertise rather than requiring it?
Pixie says: I would approve that idea.
Krom says: cool with me.
Darien says: Don't get me wrong.. I DO advertise. I just don't like
being told that I have to every day
Krom says: I was just trying to raise awareness is all. Not set official
policies.
Krom agrees with Darien.
Varn likes to get sarcastic when advertising too much, too.
Pixie takes a deep breath.
Pixie says: Then we will continue to encourage members to advertise
periodically and that they heal on a regular basis. We will also continue
NOT to check on others, we will leave it up to the members to determine
if they are doing their job or not.
Quinn nods solemnly.
Pixie exclaims: Alright, NEXT!
Pixie says: Clan teases.
Pixie says: I will share with you the...9 suggestions that have been
made so far. If anyone else has any suggestions, please give them
now. We will then vote on them.
Pixie exclaims: 1) <Player> thinks healthy thoughts for you!
Pixie exclaims: 2) <Player> thinks healthy thoughts for you,
whether you like it or not. Ha!
Pixie says: 3) <Player> knocks you out with their healing touch.
Pixie says: 4) <Player> places a hand on your forehead and shouts
"Be healed!"
Pixie says: 5) Darien places her healing hands on your forehead and
and shouts "Be Healed!"
Pixie says: 6) Darien places her healing hands on your forehead and
shouts "Be healed, brother/sister!"
Pixie says: 7) Darien says: Something like "Darien places her
healing hands on your forehead in greeting." Where I would see
"You gently greet <name> with a reminder of your healing
touch."
Pixie says: 8) Pixie: You are sent healing vibes from It-uile.
Pixie takes a deep breath.
Pixie says: 9) It-uile sees: You reach out and zap Varn. Player sees:
Your eyes bulge and you gasp for breath as a strong, pulsing current
lashes through your being. As it dissipates, you feel slightly healthier.
This shockingly beneficial zap was from Siveke.
Pixie asks: any more ideas?
Pixie says: Or can we vote now? ;)
Varn rumbles: 9 is good.
Varn rumbles: It has Varn.
Pixie tickles Varn.
Darien says: I like 5 or 9
Quinn says: I am not a big fan of the teases in general, so I have
no opinion.
Pixie asks: Krom?
Krom says: 9
Varn gives Krom a hi-5!
Pixie says: I like 9 too.
Pixie asks: So does that mean we've picked one?
Krom says: I like 5 and 9. Nine fits the form-factor of the other
teases a bit more closely.
Darien asks: can we change 'slightly healthier' to 'strangely better'
though?
Krom says: I think that would be fine.
Krom exclaims: I like that suggestion, Darien!
Darien says: since we can't .actually. heal remotely, i mean
Pixie says: I don't think this is something we need unanimous approval
for (unless someone here thinks I should).
Pixie says: It-uile sees: You reach out and zap Varn.
Pixie says: Player sees: Your eyes bulge and you gasp for breath as
a strong, pulsing current lashes through your being. As it dissipates,
you feel strangely better.
Pixie says: Player sees: This shockingly beneficial zap was from Siveke.
Darien nogs noggingly.
Krom cheers excitedly.
Pixie asks: do we need a comma after strong?
Krom says: I think so.
Pixie asks: being or body?
Darien says: yes on the comma, and 'being'
Krom says: I like 'being'
Pixie says: ok
Pixie says: then it's staying just the way i just showed it
Pixie asks: So what do I do now? Mail it to Tasha?
Darien nods solemnly.
Darien says: just put 'it-uile glass tease' in the subject and send
it just like you said it.. she'll parse the right pronouns and such
Krom says: Hey Darien.
Pixie says: NEXT (LAST)
Darien asks: Yes, Krom?
Krom says: Just making you use napkins. ;)
Darien pokes Krom in the ribs.
Darien says: not really.. am sending an email ;)
Krom grins at Darien evilly.
Krom says: okie
Krom listens to Pixie. :)
Pixie takes a deep breath.
Pixie says: Siveke is currently an Acolyte of the clan. She is the
first person to send me a clan bio BEFORE becoming a member. She has
been excited and active in the clan since the first day she wrote
to me regarding joining the clan. She's discussed with Krom ideas
regarding clan activities. I propose that she be promoted to Junior
Apprentice.
Krom seconds that.
Darien thirds it.
Varn rumbles: She's rather disappointed with the general level of
RPing here.
Darien says: most of us are, Varn.. in spurts at least
Pixie says: Additionally, I propose that anyone who is Junior Apprentice
or Senior Apprentice if/when the Aspirant proposal goes thru be promoted
to "Apprentice".
Krom nods in agreement.
Darien nogs noggingly.
Pixie says: If you approve of Siveke's promotion, say "yes to
1". If you approve of the jr. apprentice's promotions, say "yes
to 2".
Krom says: yes to 1 and 2
Darien says: yes to 1 and 2
Quinn says: yes to both
Varn nods solemnly.
Varn rumbles: both.
Pixie asks: Are there any announcements?
Pixie looks at Darien, expectantly.
Darien asks: erm.. sure?
Pixie says: The pub? New additions? ;)
Darien says: There's an invisibility drink in the pub, name provided
by Quinn.. Faux Healing
Quinn beams with joy!
Darien says: and we stock laxatives now, for those overeaters ;)
Pixie says: I was experimenting with those today.
Darien exclaims: and.. er.. Yay to Krom for helping me keep up with
the pickle shortages!
Krom beams with joy!
Pixie asks: Do we know how many laxatives it takes to actually be
worthwhile?
Darien says: Seriously.. You've been a huge help, Krom. I like knowing
that my pub is well-watched
Darien shakes her head at Pixie.
Pixie says: They didn't seem to do me any good with my bread.
Darien says: I've never used 'em
Pixie says: I was really disappointed (though I don't blame you).
Krom says: I haven't tried them yet.
Varn raises his hand.
Pixie asks: Varn?
Varn rumbles: Many many boxes to get a hero of my level from rupturing
to full or hungry.
Darien says: you'd better not blame me! i can't edit food.. i can
only stock it ;)
Pixie says: I was really looking forward to trying them out, in hopes
they'd be really helpful...but they didn't seem to be....I was stuck
at rupturing.
Pixie asks: So it might be more worthwhile to players, but not necessarily
for heroes?
Darien nods solemnly.
Darien says: I mostly wanted to stock them so people would have a
place to buy other than IF, since EC isn't very good at restocking
yet ;)
Varn rumbles: Depends on the funds you want to spend.
Pixie says: Oh, they also reply to 'food', so if you do 'eat food'
to eat your bread and run out of bread without watching, then you're
suddenly going to have a surprise laxative. ;)
Krom says: heh
Varn rumbles: Andore was powerhunting the other day... and solving
Ascension.
Varn rumbles: Tam had to restock twice.
Pixie laughs.
Pixie asks: Are there any other announcements?
Pixie asks: Is there any other pertinent business that should be taken
care of tonight?
Darien says: I can stock them up a LOT if there's a want for them,
btw
Pixie nods to Darien solemnly.
Darien says: I just started them at 20 'cuz I didn't know if they'd
take off or not
Pixie says: I might have to experiment some more.
Pixie says: but I've been terribly busy with RL, so it was amazing
that I killed today (it's amazing what one will decide to do to avoid
homework).
Pixie says: I'm not going to try to predict when the next meeting
will be, since I expect to have a bundle of joy taking up all my time
by this time next month.
Pixie says: I will say that it probably won't be until May, unless
someone else decides to have a meeting instead of me.
You smile at Pixie "Good luck with that.
Pixie says: Between now and the next meeting, I'd love if Krom would
feel inclined to get a raid/activity together (especially since we
don't know when the next meeting really will be).
Pixie says: And if the meeting happens sooner than later, then I think
that our next meeting should focus on coming up with something to
DO.
Krom says: I'm planning on doing some thing. Will be in touch with
appropriate people. :)
Pixie says: Sweet.
Quinn has to go.
Quinn waves.
You wave to Quinn.
Quinn gets a garden gnome.
Quinn stands up.
Quinn leaves home.
Pixie says: Unless anyone has anything else.
Krom says: I'll kill the logger then.
Pixie says: Cool
Darien shakes her head.

*****************************************************************************
January
31 , 2004: Attendance:
Pixie, Darien, Varn, Tarahawen. Excused Absences: Cat, Sprite, Dondalus,
Quinn, Krom, Alexis. No-shows: Treefish, Senae
Summary:
1. Membership: Krom was elected to Masterhealer. Pixie announced that
she would not be selecting a new Second. Darien volunteered to take
the post unofficially if the necessity arises.
2. Charter: It-uile now has a motto! It is "The greatest rewards
come from helping others."
3. Revitalization: Members brainstormed ways to show that It-uile
is alive and to increase membership. They proposed a change in the
Charter and Infrastructure of the clan so that there is an Aspirant
level before Acoylte (Junior and Senior Apprentices would combine
to become Apprentice). An Aspirant would be a low-level player who
promises to attain a healing power and use it for healing others.
A letter will go out to all members so that they can review the proposal,
make suggestions, and vote on it at the next meeting (likely the second
weekend in March).
4. Clan Tease Emote: Darien reminded us that we need a teaser for
Tasha's glass. Members brainstormed but chose not to decide at this
time. The idea presented by Darien will be shown to the clan on the
clan board, to give members an idea. They will then be able to brainstorm
their own ideas, and we will decide at the next meeting.
Top of Page
*****************************************************************************
Pixie says: Cat said she may or may not be able to come, because
they are moving. Hopefully she can make it.
Pixie says: Not worth it to wait though, in case she can't make it.
Pixie says: Regardless, let me call together this meeting of It-uile.
Pixie says: Our first order of business is membership.
Pixie says: For officers, we currently have Pixie as Phoenix (duh),
Cat as Phoenix (who periodically does Apothecary and Masterhealer,
but who is also in the process of moving and does not have time to
do much of anything since she can't log on), and Darien as Apothecary.
Pixie says: This leaves Masterhealer, Troubador, and Cleric open (well,
there's a Cleric, but it's an alt, so that doesn't count).
Pixie says: I have asked around, and it seems that Krom is interested
in becoming Masterhealer.
Pixie says: Pardon me while I pull up his explaination of why he'd
like to be Masterhealer.
Pixie says: First Preference: Masterhealer
Pixie says: I'm interested in this position because it allows me to
be a bit more active in planning some things for the clan, and to
explore new ideas to help keep us active. I'm particularly interested
in finding new ways, or resurrecting old ones, for everyone to visible
display their dedication to our Clan's charter in way that is distinctive
to our clan. This roll would challange me to learn a bit more about
Rag as well.
Pixie says: Unfortunately, Krom could not be here this evening, due
to a prior engagement (which also keeps Quinn away).
Pixie asks: Is there any discussion before we vote on Krom for Masterhealer?
Darien shakes her head.
Tarahawen whispers: Nope.
Varn rumbles: No.
Varn rumbles: He is worthy.
Pixie exclaims: If you would like Krom to be Masterhealer of It-uile,
say YES!
Darien says: Yes
Varn rumbles: Yes.
Tarahawen whispers: Yes
Pixie says: alright
Pixie says: The next time he logs on (and we remember), Darien, Cat,
or I will promote him to Masterhealer.
Pixie says: He also was interested in being Cleric (that was his second
choice). I discussed it with him, and we agreed that he can also do
some of the same things as the cleric in his role as Masterhealer.
Tarahawen nods solemnly.
Pixie says: I believe that all members of the clan should be working
to do the role of the Cleric (promoting the clan and working to increase
membership).
Pixie says: As far as I know, there is no one that is interested in
Troubador or Cleric at this time.
Pixie says: If I am incorrect, stop me. ;)
Pixie says: And that reminds me. Thank you very much to Darien, who
has been kind enough to temporarily play Troubador for us tonight.
Pixie goes 'Woo woo!' at Darien.
Pixie says: Next order of business is Second in Command.
Pixie says: Cat said maybe we should pick someone else to be second
while she moves.
Pixie says: I have thought and thought and thought about this, and
have decided that I do not think we need to change it at this time.
Pixie says: All of our officers have proxy power, and that means they
can do just about anything that would needed to be done with regards
to clan.
Darien says: Not to sound presumptious, but I can readily fill the
spot without making it official, if the need comes up
Pixie says: The only thing that they can't do that Cat and I can do
is bequeath the clan and change the clan info.
Pixie says: The only info I change on a semi-regular basis is the
clan motd.
Pixie says: If no one has any serious issues with this, I will NOT
be selecting a new clan second.
Darien says: I don't think we need a new clan second. We'll just mourn
while Cat is away
Pixie nods solemnly.
Pixie says: So moving on.
Pixie says: The only other thing with membership is that we definitely
need to increase our membership.
Pixie says: So everyone should be making sure to help newbies and
talk up the clan.
Pixie says: Oh, and I'm pretty sure Treefish will not be joining us
again (at least not for a very long time). He has told me he has left
Ragnarok.
Pixie says: So I will no longer be sending mails to him (unless I
forget and leave him in the mailgroup).
Pixie says: The second thing on the agenda is the Charter, and more
specifically the motto
Pixie says: Pardon me, while I check my mail for the suggestions that
were given.
Pixie says: We have had 3 suggestions.
Pixie says: Need a heal? Seek It-uile.
Pixie says: To cure, to heal, to feed, It-uile.
Pixie says: The greatest rewards come from rewarding others.
Pixie asks: Do any of those peak your interests?
Darien says: I like the third one.
Varn rumbles: It's 'pique'.
Tarahawen goes hmmmm....
Varn rumbles: And I too like the third one.
Tarahawen whispers: The third one is good.
Pixie says: I like it too.
Pixie says: I had to wait until you all said that, though. ;)
Tarahawen grins mischievously.
Darien chuckles politely.
Pixie asks: Do you like it as is? Or would you change anything?
Varn rumbles: The greatest rewards come from It-Uile. :)
Pixie snickers.
Pixie says: that one i'd veto ;)
Darien says: I'm pondering if it should change to 'The greatest rewards
come from helping others' since we dod't really reward ppl per se
Varn rumbles: It-Uile! When you're hurt, tired or just lazy.
Tarahawen whispers: For some reason I think it might sound better
phrasing it 'The greatest reward comes from rewarding others'
Tarahawen whispers: Or helping... yes...
Varn rumbles: That and helping.
Pixie says: Varn, you should have sent these in before.
Darien asks: So, The greatest reward comes from helping others. ?
Pixie asks: how about if it was "The greatest rewards come from
helping others." Would you prefer that over "rewarding others"?
Varn rumbles: I've been drinking rather heavily tonight, and I'm making
these up as I go.
Tarahawen nods to Darien solemnly.
Tarahawen whispers: Helping.
Darien says: helping :>
Varn nods solemnly.
Pixie says: I kind of wanted to change that myself. I'm glad someone
else suggested it. ;)
Pixie says: Alright.
Pixie asks: As of right now, I'm going to say our Motto is "The
greatest rewards come from helping others." Any objections?
Darien shakes her head.
Varn shakes his head.
Pixie asks: tara?
Tarahawen whispers: I'm fine with that.
Pixie goes 'Woo woo!'
Tarahawen smiles happily.
Pixie exclaims: We have a clan motto!
Pixie exclaims: Only took a year and a half!
Tarahawen grins evilly.
Tarahawen snickers.
Pixie says: Next is "How can we show the clan is alive? and get
more members?"
Varn rumbles: Heh...
Tarahawen whispers: Simply helping newbies doesn't seem to work.
Pixie says: I really wish Krom could have been here for this discussion.
Varn rumbles: Nah, newbies are power mad and want to heal themselves
rather than others. :/
Darien says: I've been trying to offer healing at the statue again,
curtesy of It-uile
Tarahawen whispers: Yes, and evil seems to be rather exciting.
Pixie says: I've been trying to fly to people and heal them.
Tarahawen hasn'ts been on.
Varn rumbles: Darien has been doing a good job.
Darien blushes.
Tarahawen smiles at Darien happily.
Pixie says: We have no problems with evil (noting Darien's current
alignment).
Pixie says: We are a neutral clan.
Tarahawen whispers: Yes.
Pixie says: We take all.
Darien says: hey, I was demonic yesterday ;) zapped harald and brought
it up ;)
Varn's alter ego is very happy with Darien's efforts.
Pixie says: How about this...
Tarahawen whispers: But newbies find IF more enticing because of this.
Pixie asks: What if we all brainstorm ideas of how to get more members,
and make sure that Krom can make it to the next meeting, so that he
can be in charge of implementation?
Varn rumbles: Newbies find IF exciting because of promised parties
and easy experience.
Darien agrees with Varn.
Tarahawen nogs noggingly.
Pixie says: We can offer the experience and the parties.
Pixie says: That is a way of helping others.
Varn goes hmmmm....
Varn nods solemnly.
Pixie says: I've done it before.
Darien says: We (as a group) are not as active as some of the IFers
though.. I rarely claim anymore :(
Tarahawen nogs noggingly.
Pixie says: Well, we (as a group) are also significantly smaller in
numbers.
Varn rumbles: Garou is shaping up, too.
Darien nods solemnly.
Pixie says: and we all have very active lives outside of Ragnarok.
Darien says: ElemCouncil is kicking all our asses currently ;)
Tarahawen grins evilly.
Pixie exclaims: yes they are!
Varn rumbles: Or so we like to fool ourselves, Pixie.
Pixie says: but they're also taking level 3 players (EC is)
Darien says: Eh, I have no life. I've just been here for 7 friggin
years and am bored
Pixie says: Varn, I can show you my schedule if you want to know why
I don't kill daily. ;)
Darien says: actually, make that 8.5 years *boggles*
Pixie says: Considering we wait until the players are a bit older
(at least, what, 11?), means that we miss out on the smallest of newbies.
Varn nods to Darien solemnly.
Pixie says: but I do not want to change that.
Tarahawen whispers: I've been here for 10 months and have racked up
a third of the time you have, Darien.
Darien says: I also have 5 active characters ;)
Tarahawen boggles at the concept.
Varn nods solemnly.
Darien says: two level 41s ;)
Varn nods solemnly.
Pixie says: Our primary focus is healing, and if you can't heal, you
can't join. That's the way the charter is written (and we've discussed
it before and not wanted to change it).
Darien nods to Pixie solemnly.
Tarahawen nods to Pixie solemnly.
Darien gets back on track
Pixie says: OK, here's my idea.
Pixie says: I would like to get back into having monthly meetings
(though I don't know how well that will work when I have a baby crying
in the background).
Pixie says: So how about if we make the focus of next month's meeting
the reactivation of our clan.
Tarahawen whispers: What if we create some kind of entry/newbie ranking?
That way, those who want to be in IU but can't heal yet get to know
the clan and the way around Rag, and once they get a healing power,
they can become acolytes?
Pixie says: Everyone should think of at least one activity that the
clan (or clan members) can do to 1) show the clan is active, 2) promote
the clan, and 3) increase membership.
Pixie ponders Tarahawen and the situation.
Varn has a feeling we'd done that.
Tarahawen whispers: It would help to create a 'family' atmosphere
earlier than if we waited till upper levels
Varn rumbles: We could recruit those that have the potential to heal
even before they can actualy do it. That way, they would feel indebted
to the clan and would perform clan activities with greater zest.
Pixie says: We would have to cut out one of our other ranks, and in
the past members have said that one definitely has to have a healing
spell/skill (I'm going off of other members and Alien's meaning when
he created the clan).
Tarahawen goes hmmmm....
Pixie says: We DID invite Senae before she actually had the healing
spell, because we knew she was legitimately interested, and the only
thing standing in her way from healing was quest points.
Darien says: We could, in theory, combine Junior and Senior Apprentice
into one rank of 'Apprentice' and make a newbie rank (moving acolyte
up to rank 2)
Tarahawen nods to Darien solemnly.
Varn nods solemnly.
Tarahawen whispers: I was just think that.
Pixie says: I wouldn't mind having it be something that we occationally
do when someone is close but has some outside reasonn why they can't
heal yet.
Tarahawen wanted to be in IU at level 3.
Varn nods solemnly.
Pixie takes a deep breath.
Pixie says: I'd be willing to consider making the newbie level (which
would need a name), and combining the apprentices. That is a major
change to the charter, though, so I would want 100% approval of the
clan (since we are so small).
Varn rumbles: As did I. It was Krom who was so patient with me.
Darien was thinking 'pupil' or 'student'
Pixie says: I like pupil
Tarahawen is looking for synonyms.
Darien is too ;)
Varn rumbles: Initiate?
Pixie says: both of those would be good, because then it looks like
we're training them in the ways of It-uile and healing
Tarahawen nods solemnly.
Varn rumbles: Pre-Healer?
Pixie says: that word is used a lot (initiate)
Varn rumbles: n00b?
Darien says: or disciple (as my thesaurus says)
Pixie laughs.
Pixie says: weenie comes up on thesaurus.reference.com
Darien still votes for 'pupil'
Varn shakes his head.
Darien says: Though I agree we need to have at least a 95% affirmative
vote on it
Tarahawen whispers: scholar, pupil or docent
Varn rumbles: Doesn't have the ring.
Varn rumbles: Aspirant?
Pixie says: learner
Pixie says: novice (though it's used in elementalists)
Tarahawen whispers: aspirant is nice
Darien says: flunky? ;)
Tarahawen giggles.
Pixie says: 'So far we've had pupil, student, initiate, pre-healer,
disciple, n00b, weenie, scholar, docent, aspirant, learner, novice,
flunky
Darien says: Well, Acolyte is also used by the Amazons ;)
Pixie asks: any more to add to the list?
Tarahawen whispers: Aspirant
Tarahawen whispers: to aspire, that would work well and has a ring
to it
Pixie says: tell your top pick from that list
Tarahawen grins at Varn evilly.
Pixie says: tara already shared hers ;)
Tarahawen whispers: Aspirant
Darien says: I can agree with Aspirant
Varn rumbles: I like Aspirant best, too.
Tarahawen grins evilly.
Pixie says: Let's do that. :)
Tarahawen throws her head back and cackles gleefully.
Tarahawen whispers: So productive...
Pixie says: all A words
Pixie says: Aspirant, Acolyte, Apprentice
Tarahawen grins evilly.
Pixie says: so those would be the first 3 levels of the clan
Tarahawen nods solemnly.
Pixie takes a deep breath.
Pixie says: An Aspirant would be a low-level player who has not received
a healing spell/skill yet, but is deeply interested in the works of
It-uile. By becoming an Aspirant of It-uile, the player is promising
to receive a healing spell/skill and use it to help others in Ragnarok.
To be promoted by Aspirant, a player must perform a healing spell/skill
upon an officer of It-uile.
Darien nods solemnly.
Pixie says: How does that sound? (I was working on a description of
the level.) Please give me any suggestions for changes in wording,
etc. while I get a slice of pizza. :)
Varn rumbles: Is there much more, Pix? I'm getting very sleepy and
my non-gamer significant other will have my ears in the morning already
as it is.
Tarahawen whispers: I don't understand the sentence To be promoted
by Aspirant, a player must perform a healing spell/skill upon.
Tarahawen growls.
Tarahawen whispers: To be promoted BY Aspirant
Darien says: Probably means 'to be promoted from Asprirant'
Tarahawen whispers: ooh
Tarahawen nogs noggingly.
Pixie takes a deep breath.
Pixie says: An Aspirant would be a low-level player who has not received
a healing spell/skill yet, but is deeply interested in the works of
It-uile. By becoming an Aspirant of It-uile, the player is promising
to receive a healing spell/skill and use it to help others in Ragnarok.
To be promoted from Aspirant, a player must perform a healing spell/skill
pon an officer of It-uile.
Pixie says: Sorry, that was me typing and thinking at the same time.
:)
Varn nods solemnly.
Darien says: sounds good to me
Pixie says: Any other changes? (I said it again, so it's in the log
and we can copy and paste later on.) :)
Pixie asks: The other descriptions (Acolyte and Apprentice) would
need to be tweaked. Shall we do it now?
Tarahawen whispers: I think that covers it fairly well. :)
Tarahawen whispers: I'm up for it
Pixie says: Hey, if we're going to get stuff done, we might as well
get LOTS done. ;)
Pixie says: Acolyte: The newest members to the clan. An acolyte has
just joined and is proving him or herself to the clan. He or she must
obey any member of the clan. A willingness to hand out the healing
items that can be found around Ragnarok might be grounds for an early
apprenticeship.
Pixie says: that's the original description
Tarahawen whispers: Cut the first sentence...
Pixie asks: Ideas on tweaking?
Darien says: perhaps change 'the newest members' to 'The first healing
rank of the clan'
Tarahawen whispers: Or that. :D
Pixie says: Acolyte: The first healing rank of the clan. An acolyte
has recently joined and is proving him or herself to the clan. He
or she must obey any member of the clan. A willingness to hand out
the healing items that can be found around Ragnarok might be grounds
for an early apprenticeship.
Pixie says: how's that? (changed the first 2 sentences)
Darien says: Sounds good.
Tarahawen whispers: Good
Pixie says: 2 Junior Apprentice: An apprentice is required to fetch
and carry. He or she is expected to spend at least part of each login
at the statue.
Pixie says: 3 Senior Apprentice: An apprentice is required to fetch
and carry. He or she is expected to spend at least part of each login
at the statue. This member is much like the Junior Apprentice, but
a higher level player. The Senior Apprentice is expected to help lower
members, particularly Junior Apprentices in learning they way of an
Apprentice.
Pixie says: Apprentice: An apprentice is required to fetch and carry.
He or she is expected to spend at least part of each login at the
statue. The Apprentice is expected to help lower members.
Pixie asks: how's that sound?
Darien says: sounds good
Tarahawen nogs noggingly.
Pixie asks: Is there anything else that you can think of that would
need to be changed?
Tarahawen whispers: I can't think of anything else.
Darien says: not that I can think of
Pixie says: I'm checking the Charter
Pixie takes a deep breath.
Pixie says: Initiation Rite: When interested and able to heal, a prospective
member informs a clan member of interest. After discussion in the
clan, they decide whether or not to offer an invitation to the prospective
member. After presenting the prospective with an invitation, the prospective
must prove their healing abilities for the members present. Then he
or she is invited into the clan.
Pixie asks: Do we need to change that in any way?
Tarahawen whispers: The proving of healing abilities
Darien says: Perhaps add a sentence or two about Aspirants.. just
that the clan must agree to tutor them
Pixie says: Initiation Rite: When interested and able to heal, a prospective
member informs a clan member of interest. After discussion in the
clan, they decide whether or not to offer an invitation to the prospective
member. After presenting the prospective with an invitation, the prospective
must prove their healing abilities for the members present. Then he
or she is invited into the clan. Note: If there is someone who is
strongly interested in the clan, but does not have a healing spell
yet, they can join the clan as an Aspirant. In inviting a player to
be an Aspirant, the clan promises to tutor the member in the ways
of healing. The player promises to fulfill the requirements to acquire
a healing ability and then show them to the clan.
Darien nogs noggingly.
Tarahawen whispers: Woo
Darien says: I like
Tarahawen grins evilly.
Pixie exclaims: And make sure not to lose this log Darien! I can't
think this stuff up again!
Darien says: I won't lose it. I promise
Tarahawen grins mischievously.
Pixie says: The next step, then, is to put all of this information
into a letter of sorts, that explains what we're interested in doing
and why.
Pixie says: That should be posted on the clan board for all to read
(and probably with a reminder mail sent out). That will give all members
a chance to read it and think about it.
Tarahawen nogs noggingly.
Pixie says: We have 2 choices. I could ask people right away about
it, and we could change it as soon as everyone has voted, OR we could
wait until the next meeting to have the vote.
Pixie says: Part of me says we should wait, so that people have time
to really process it, and so if anyone thinks of any kinks, we can
work them out in advance.
Darien says: I think we should wait until next meeting, provided we
have another meeting in February ;)
Pixie says: alright
Tarahawen whispers: As long as we do have a meeting next month, I
see no reason to rush.
Pixie says: good plan
Tarahawen grins mischievously.
Darien grins at Tarahawen.
Pixie says: I promise the meeting won't be the last weekend in February
(because someone is moving that weekend).
Pixie says: And it won't be the first weekend in March, because the
same weekend will be out of town.
Tarahawen whispers: The first of March, then?
Tarahawen goes hmmmm....
Pixie says: So it will either be the weekend before in February, or
the second weekend in March.
Pixie says: I'm thinking we might want to hold off, so that Cat has
a chance to return and hear about it.
Tarahawen whispers: Second in March, I think. That gives lots of time
to spread word.
Darien nods solemnly.
Pixie says: If we do change it, messages will get posted all over
(adventurer's board, rp board, website).
Pixie says: It's not worth it to make a major change like that if
we aren't going to let people know about it. ;)
Tarahawen smiles happily.
Pixie says: Next question
Pixie asks: Does someone else want to compile the information, or
should I?
Darien says: you can :>
Pixie snickers.
Tarahawen hides behind a convenient lamppost.
Tarahawen grins mischievously.
Pixie says: I figured that would be the case. :)
Darien says: Or I can just mudmail a copy of the summary to everyone
in the clan and they can read it there
Pixie says: I will be able to do that once I have the log. Perhaps
I'll do it tomorrow after I write my paper (because there's no time
during the week for me to breath, let alone do it). ;)
Tarahawen nods solemnly.
Pixie says: Make sure I have the information, and I will get it up
and out tomorrow. :)
Pixie exclaims: Next!
Darien says: You imply that I can stay awake past the end of the meeting
:P
Pixie laughs.
Pixie asks: Is there anything else that anyone has to bring up?
Tarahawen shakes her head.
Darien asks: Oooh ooh! Have we given any thought to a glass teaser?
Pixie says: ohhhh
Pixie says: That was the other thing
Tarahawen whispers: oh
Tarahawen grins evilly.
Pixie says: See, forget to write it in the agenda, forget to do.
Pixie says: Let me get pizza while you guys think. :)
Darien says: I was pondering last night for some unknown reason and
the song 'lay your hands on me' got stuck in my head.. was thinking
something like that might be fun ;)
Tarahawen grins mischievously.
Pixie says: You are sent healing vibes from It-uile.
Darien says: Something like "Darien places her healing hands
on your forehead in greeting." Where I would see "You gently
greet <name> with a reminder of your healing touch."
Pixie says: oh, i like
Darien says: or yanno, something along those lines *shrugs*
Tarahawen nods solemnly.
Darien says: actually using the phrase 'you lay your hands on <name>'
would probably cause a bit of a stir ;)
Pixie snickers.
Darien says: though the amazon greet is quite..er.. provocative ;)
Tarahawen grins evilly.
Tarahawen whispers: Quite.
Pixie says: How about if we post your suggestion for the emote, and
let everyone else think about it.
Tarahawen nods solemnly.
Tarahawen whispers: I'll try to come up with something, too.
Darien says: it'll be in the info I send you
Pixie says: Considering we only have half our members here.
Pixie says: I'd like to get more suggestions, if at all possible.
Darien says: sad that 3 = half ;)
Pixie exclaims: I included myself!
Pixie says: Cat, Dondalus, Quinn, and Krom are missing
Tarahawen whispers: Active members... and do I count for that anymore?
Pixie says: Yes, because you came to the meeting.
Tarahawen whispers: Okies. :)
Darien says: I say you include my blurb to the end of the bit about
changing the charter/ranks and ask ppl to add their suggestions
Pixie says: So anyways, we'll get that posted, and maybe some people
will get inspired with more ideas.
Tarahawen nods solemnly.
Pixie says: I think I'll make separate messages, but I will invite
members to add suggestions to both.
Darien nods solemnly.
Pixie asks: Is there anything else we need to discuss?
Tarahawen blinks.
Darien says: not that I can recall
Tarahawen whispers: hrm... no... Not that I can come up with.
Pixie says: The end
Tarahawen goes 'Woo woo!'
Pixie exclaims: Meeting adjourned!

June
14, 2003: Attendance:
Pixie, Cat, Darien, Varn, Quinn, Krom, Treefish
Summary:
Prospective member Cathei was admitted into the clan and there were
various promotions (see the promotion log for details). The Clan Charter
was discussed at great length. A new outlook on Necromancers was defined,
a contest for a clan motto was announced, and it was determined that
we would not allow members based purely on 'helping' and not innate
healing abilities. Additionally, a few descriptions for rankings were
updated. Members were informed that there will be several Tiny Plots
going on in the future, and that they should be prepared to be asked
to come to Events. No further details were given. It was agreed upon
that the entrance/exit to the It-uile Pub should be changed to north/south
and new drink ideas were discussed. If you have additional ideas for
the pub, they should be directed to Darien. Members were complimented
on turning in descriptions and encouraged to share pictures with their
clan. Help writing 'help clans' and 'help it-uile' was requested.
It was announced that Treefish is redesigning the website. There was
no other business.

*****************************************************************************
Pixie exclaims: Alright, welcome everyone to the June meeting of
It-uile! I'm excited that you all made it!
Quinn cheers excitedly.
Browncow goes 'Woo woo!'
Pixie says: First thing on our agenda is membership.
Pixie says: We have one prospective member, Cathei.
Varn asks: Where?
Varn snickers.
Pixie says: I have received positive votes from Cat, Darien, Peat,
Treefish, Krom, Browncow, and Varn.
Browncow pokes Treefish in the ribs.
Varn nods solemnly.
Pixie says: I have had no negative votes.
Varn pokes Treefish in the ribs with his pipe.
Treefish shifts in his seat.
Pixie says: I do not vote.
Pixie says: This gives up 7/11 votes out of our active membership
(not including me).
Pixie says: That means that we will invite Cathei to join It-uile
after this meeting.
Pixie says: We have no other OFFICIAL prospective members.
Varn raises his eyebrows.
Pixie says: I have heard that Tarahawen and Evelina are interested,
but not quite ready to join.
Pixie says: Feel free to talk up the clan (but don't scare them) to
them.
Pixie says: And make sure to keep talking to newbies and helping htem
out. They tend to turn around and join our ranks later on. :)
Pixie asks: Does anyone have any comments on recruitment?
Pixie says: In regards to membership, we DID get a compliment from
Haplo.
Pixie says: He said something to the extent that of 'It-uile is the
only clan that has a good recruitment system going on.
Quinn says: I hope that's not our standard of measurement. ;)
Pixie says: I can't remember the exact quote, but it was close to
that.
Pixie asks: Krom?
Quinn nods solemnly.
Treefish grins mischievously.
Darien points out that that compliment came after a 2 hour conversation
that she, herself, had with Haplo dispelling the misconceptions he
had of us.
Pixie laughs.
Krom takes a deep breath.
Krom asks: It seems Varn has some concerns, and I think they are grounded
in valid considerations, and I'm wondering if he has ideas on how
to address them, or, if we keep doing what we're doing, will things
be taken care of to his statisfaction?
Pixie says: I would like to hear Varn's response to that, but at the
same time I'm going to work on writing my own response.
Varn says: The only thing is, I wouldn't like this clan to become
full of new members whom nobody really knows.
Varn says: I've seen it happen in other, real life groups.
Varn says: Some group becomes popular, and everybody is suddenly joining.
Varn says: Soon the focus is gone.
Varn thinks.
[It-Uile] Cat has arrived.
Varn ponders the situation.
[It-Uile] Treefish prods Cat into the meeting room with a pokie stick!
[It-Uile] Cat: i thought it was at 2pm my time
Varn says: So, I would like each new inclusion to be meaningful. I'm
sure that's what all of us already aim for,
[It-Uile] Treefish: we just started a min ago :)
Varn says: but I wanted to stress it all the same.
Cat enters the meeting room.
Cat sits down.
Treefish huggles Cat affectionately.
Pixie takes a deep breath.
Pixie says: I think that the system we have going on right now is
a good one. Every member is expected to learn about the player, and
then vote. Right now I require at least a majority of yes's. (1 more
than half the clan). If we get larger, and there is concern, we can
up the required votes. We could require a 2/3rd vote (Ex. Right now
we have 12 members. Majority requires 7 positive votes. If we wanted
2/3rds, it would be 8 positive votes. Not a big deal at this small
number, but would be bigger when we have bigger numbers).
[It-Uile] Cat: good, coz it's not 2pm ;)
Browncow pets Cat.
Varn says: Hm.
[It-Uile] Pixie: umm...it's almost 4:30...meeting was to start at
4:00
Krom says: I have a followup question.
Pixie asks: Krom?
Cat grumbles unhappily at Treefish, muttering some curses.
Krom asks: Would we ever consider a maximum membership?
Pixie says: I've never considered in the past, but that's because
we haven't had enough to consider it. I think it would all depend
upon how many of our members are ACTIVE.
Browncow does some jumping jacks.
Pixie says: As of right now, I would say no. But later on down the
road, we might find a need to change our mind.
Krom says: Just a thought. I don't see the need now. Maybe if we noticed
things start breaking down at a certain size it would be something
to think about... Just wanted to put the idea out there for people
to consider.
Krom says: I'm done. :)
Krom yields the floor.
Pixie asks: Are there any more comments on this concern?
Varn says: Yes.
Pixie says: Go for it.
Varn says: I would ask the members to vote responsibly.
Varn says: Especially when accepting new members.
Pixie nods solemnly.
Varn sits down.
Cat asks: can i follow up on Varn's comment, even tho i have like
half the info on this?
Pixie says: Go ahead Cat.
Cat says: the reason i pushed for the "discuss potential members"
mailings is because i wanted us to not only get people in fast, but
give all the members a trial period to approach them and get a better
feel of the person
Pixie nods solemnly.
Darien raises her hand.
Pixie says: That's why I really like that system. It's just that all
members must USE the system. Not just say 'ok, sure!' to everyone.
Pixie says: Darien.
Treefish agrees with Pixie.
Darien says: I'd like to suggest that we not count alts toward the
total clan member total when figuring out how much of a 'positive'
answer we need to induct new members.
Pixie says: I don't count them.
Pixie says: I don't count alts or inactive members.
Darien says: Just making sure. I don't have a tally sheet of how many
ppl we have, so I didn't know.
Pixie says: So right now, membership is this: Pixie, Cat, Darien,
Haelix, Peat, Treefish, Dondalus, Quinn, Krom, Browncow, Senae, Varn.
Pixie says: You'll note I don't count Jebu since he's gone, or my
alts, or our former leaders.
Darien nods solemnly.
Pixie says: So even with the addition of Cathei, the same list will
be used the next time we have a prospective member.
Pixie asks: Can we move on now?
Cat asks: moving on?
Pixie exclaims: Promotions!
Darien says: I was done after my second comment
Pixie says: First
Pixie says: Varn has been nominated for Senior Apprentice.
Pixie asks: Comments?
Cat exclaims: go Varn!
Browncow rumbles: Absolutely!
Krom says: Hell yeah. :)
Pixie says: Not voting yet, just comments.
Cat says: that is my comment ;)
Pixie says: We have 8 members here right now.
Varn asks: What were the grounds again?
Varn asks: For promotion?
Pixie says: That means we need 5 yes's to get anyone voted in for
promotion.
Pixie says: ummm
Browncow says: bring it on. :)
Pixie says: I nominated Varn, because he has such dedication to the
clan, or something like htat. (I can't rememebr all my reasons for
each member)
Pixie says: If there are no comments, we shall vote.
Varn nods solemnly.
Pixie says: If you approve Varn being promoted to Senior Apprentice,
say 'ya'
Krom says: Ya
Quinn says: ya
Browncow says: ya
Darien exclaims: YaYa!
Cat says: aye
[It-Uile] Darien hides
Varn shrugs.
Cat says: ya, whatever
Varn says: Yea.
Pixie says: alright, we have at least 5 ya's, cat, darien, quinn,
krom, browncow
Browncow goes 'Woo woo!' at Varn.
[It-Uile] Varn has been assigned the title of Senior Apprentice.
Varn blushes.
Varn shuffles his feet.
Pixie says: Next is Quinn to Senior Journeyman.
Pixie asks: Comments?
Pixie says: This nomination was from Cat.
Varn shakes his head.
Darien goes 'Woo woo!'
Quinn gasps.
Pixie says: If you approve of Quinn for Senior Journeyman, say 'aye'
Cat add in a plug really fast: if you're idle when we vote, your vote
will be forfieted
Darien says: aye
[It-Uile] Cat: sorry, super laggy here
Varn says: Aye.
Cat says: aye
Krom says: aye
Pixie pokes Browncow in the ribs.
Cat says: that's 4 so far
Browncow rumbles: aye
Pixie says: That's 5
[It-Uile] Quinn has been assigned the title of Senior Journeyman.
Quinn smiles happily.
Varn claps briefly.
Browncow goes 'Woo woo!' at Quinn.
Pixie asks: Next is Krom for Senior Journeyman. Comments?
Varn says: Yes.
Pixie says: Let's here it.
Varn says: I fully support this promotion.
Pixie asks: Ready?
Varn says: Not only he is a competent healer,
Cat nods solemnly.
Varn says: I hear he's been taking newbies around on expeditions.
Varn says: Two girls, in fact.
Pixie says: All those in favor of promoting Krom to Senior Journeyman,
please say 'uhhuh'
Quinn says: Yes
Browncow rumbles: uhhuh
Darien peers at Pixie.
Darien says: aye
Cat says: aye
Varn says: I don't know the details, but apparently a good time was
had. :)
Varn says: Uhhuh.
Cat completely agrees with Varn.
Pixie says: That's 5
Krom smile. "They were mean though. They tickled me."
Cat grins at Krom evilly.
[It-Uile] Krom has been assigned the title of Senior Journeyman.
Krom bows deeply.
Pixie says: Next is Browncow to Chirurgen.
Cat says: she's been doing lots of healing at the statue
Browncow hides in a corner nervously.
Pixie says: Browncow may only be an Acolyte, but she is also a Hero,
so I felt she deserved a hero's role.
Varn nods solemnly.
Pixie asks: Ready?
Krom says: I have one comment.
Cat nods solemnly.
Krom says: Browncow has been very faithful to the clan and has represented
us well. So my thanks to her. (And Varn and Quinn for doing the same.)
Varn says: And she has been actively seeking out the wounded.
Varn nods solemnly.
Pixie says: If you are in support of Browncow moving up to Chirurgen,
please 'moo'
Browncow thanks Krom profusely.
Quinn puckers up and lets out a tiny Moo.
Darien puckers up and lets out a tiny Moo.
Cat puckers up and lets out a tiny Moo.
Varn puckers up and lets out a tiny Moo.
Treefish puckers up and let out a tiny Moo.
Krom puckers up and lets out a tiny Moo hoo.
Pixie says: She has also been working hard at finding healing items
for people...which is a requirement for Chirurgen. ;)
Cat jumps over the moon with Browncow!
Quinn goes 'Woo woo!'
Pixie goes 'Woo woo!'
Browncow chuckles at Cat politely.
Krom claps briefly.
[It-Uile] Browncow has been assigned the title of Chirurgen.
Darien says: She did remarkably well on the scavenger hunt, having
only been inducted into the clan on that day ;)
Treefish cheers excitedly.
Pixie exclaims: FINALLY!!!
Pixie says: Treefish has been nominated for the position of Druid.
Pixie asks: Comments?
Cat says: i think Druid fits him well, be it that he's an earthy guy
and what not
Treefish grins evilly.
Cat says: also, he's been doing good healing work
Darien nods solemnly.
Quinn exclaims: And he's a fish!
Pixie says: If you wish to have Treefish as your first-ever Druid,
then...hmmmm....say 'yes'
Quinn says: yes
Darien says: yes
Cat says: yes
Varn says: Yes.
Browncow says: yes
Krom says: yes
[It-Uile] Treefish has been assigned the title of Druid.
Treefish thanks the Academy.
Pixie says: It saddens me to inform you all that we have lost an officer.
Pixie says: We have not lost a member though.
Pixie says: After much talking between Pixie, Cat, and Peat, it was
agreed that he would step down from Masterhealer.
Browncow cheers for Treefish excitedly.
Treefish smiles at Browncow happily.
Pixie says: Earlier today, some of you may have noticed that Peat
was reassigned to be a Sage.
Cat says: basically, Peat is wanting some time away from rag, and
the three of us felt it would be best for him to take a role not as
demanding
Krom nods solemnly.
Varn nods solemnly.
Pixie says: As a Sage, he can come as he wishes, and he can bless
everyone with the food that he forages.
Pixie says: And now, we can move on.
Pixie says: We have made it to number 2 on our agenda.
Pixie says: The Clan Charter.
Pixie says: I have picked out a few things to discuss here.
Pixie says: First of all, our opinion on Necromancers.
Pixie says: I move that we change our official policy on them (we
hate them with a passion) to be something less abrasive.
Pixie says: (typing)
Krom asks: We hate them?
Darien nods to Krom solemnly.
Krom says: (not passionately though? ;)
Varn says: We severely dislike them.
Darien says: We disapprove of their passions.
Varn says: We smurf in their general direction.
Darien grins at Varn evilly.
Krom says: Nice one, Varn.
Varn says: I was accosted by one Mors. He regarded me most coolly.
Pixie says: We do not accept Necromancers into It-uile because we
are very leery of their ways (the use of the undead). We will, however,
heal them on occation, if we find the individual to be of "good
character."
Darien says: Yeah, he did that to me too last night, Varn
Pixie says: What I just said would be our new OFFICIAL stance on Necromancers.
Pixie asks: Are there any comments on this?
Darien says: nah. we've already made our snide comments ;)
Pixie asks: Or any ammendments?
Quinn raises his hand.
Varn says: I thought necromancers couldn
Pixie says: Quinn
Krom is thinking.
Quinn says: I think this is a good move. There are a numebr of Necros
on here that are decent people in general.
Varn asks: Isn't that a requirement for this clan?
Quinn says: Doppleganger, for one.
Quinn says: Brista as another..
Browncow rumbles: Sounds good to me.
Treefish says: And Rose
> Pixie says: Well, this is a big one...for us to change this.
Quinn says: Since Rag really doesn't have a well-defined line between
IC and OOC
Pixie says: And so we need it to be worded JUST right, because I will
use the quote left and right for awhile.
Treefish nods solemnly.
Quinn says: it's very difficult to maintain the traditional It-Uile
stance without coming across as a jerk.
Browncow says: Yes, it is. We should make sure that the necroes are
made aware of it.
Pixie says: This stance does not have to be forever, though.
Varn asks: Can necros heal?
Pixie says: They can, but we do not allow them to join becuase of
HOW they heal.
Krom raises his hand.
Pixie says: Or I THINK they can.
Cat says: they can make healing brews
Cat says: but they use the life force of others to do so
Varn nods solemnly.
Pixie says: This would be something that we would publish for all
to see, but if something were to happen, one (or a group) were to
SERIOUSLY do something bad to us, we could change our stance again
Pixie says: It isn't being wishy-washy on our part, but instead being
a living organization that changes.
Browncow says: sounds good.
Varn nods solemnly.
Krom says: I like the idea of being less abrasive to the necro's.
I think that will make Rag a better place for them and us. I'm not
quite certain of the no-necro membership reasoning. But not sure I
have any better ideas.
Quinn says: Here's the thing. In It-Uile, all that is asked of us
is that we make the decision to heal people. We are not told who to
heal, how or when. It is left up to us to make those judgement calls.
Pixie says: Well, in the past, you were NOT to heal necromancers (in
character)
Pixie says: Now we are making it so you do not have to hide the fact
that you are healing a necro
Darien broke that rule a lot for Dopples and Brista ;)
Krom says: I healed one once by accident. Didn't know she was necro.
;)
Cat nods to Darien solemnly.
Quinn says: Right. I think that's the way to go. I don't like being
restricted in my character judgements.
Krom says: nod.
Pixie says: Basically, this is something that we'd be changing what
we ahve on paper to more accurately fit in with what we're actually
doing.
Krom says: No way I'm healing alma. ;)
Darien says: I like the way you phrased it, Pixie.
Quinn nogs noggingly.
Darien agrees with Krom.
Pixie asks: Which part?
Quinn says: That is /exactly/ what it is.
Pixie says: I said a lot. ;)
Darien says: Alma and Miraku get NO healing from me, ever.
Quinn says: Change the charter to match what we are doing. :)
Pixie says: Alright...
Krom asks: Time for a vote then?
Browncow rumbles: I like healing Alma. Makes him angry. :)
Pixie says: Let me post again what I said, and then we'll vote.
Pixie says: We do not accept Necromancers into It-uile because we
are very leery of their ways (the use of the undead). We will, however,
heal them on occation, if we find the individual to be of "good
character."
Quinn agrees with Browncow.
Quinn giggles.
Pixie says: If you approve of changing the Clan Charter to have the
above comment in it, say 'aye'
Krom says: Aye
Quinn says: aye
Darien says: aye
Browncow rumbles: aye
Treefish says: aye matey
Varn says: Aye.
Pixie asks: Cat?
Browncow pokes Treefish in the ribs.
Pixie sighs deeply.
Cat says: sorry, i'm going to have to leave. family emergency
Pixie says: ok
Pixie hugs Cat warmly.
Darien hugs Cat warmly.
Cat says: aye for this tho
Krom waves.
Quinn waves to Cat.
Pixie says: thanks :)
Varn waves.
Treefish huggles Cat affectionately.
Pixie says: keep us updated
Treefish faints and lands with a thud!
Cat says: be safe
Cat nods solemnly.
Cat left the game.
Pixie says: Alright, moving on.
Pixie exclaims: One thing we don't have is a motto!
Pixie exclaims: I propose having a contest!
Pixie says: Right here we will come up with some potential prizes.
Varn sniggers.
Browncow goes 'Woo woo!'
Pixie says: And then all members will have one month (until our next
meeting) to mail me with suggestions.
Treefish exclaims: 50k to the winner!
Treefish grins evilly.
Pixie says: At our next meeting, we will vote on all of the mottos
to pick one.
Pixie says: The winner will get the prize.
Browncow exclaims: level 50 to the winner!
Pixie says: If you all mail me privately, then I can keep names off
mottos, so we aren't voting for people, but instead voting for mottos)
Treefish says: 50k gold + a few OB pouches :)
Treefish nods to Pixie solemnly.
Krom says: Oooooooh. OB.
Pixie says: Any member may give up to 3 mottos
Krom says: It-Uile. You sink into soft confusion.
Pixie says: Now, I'm goign to potty, and while I do that, you all
decide upon some realistic prizes
Varn says: It-Uile. You don't know what it means, but you don't care.
Browncow chuckles politely.
Varn snickers.
Krom snickers.
Varn says: Potty.
Krom says: Well, I like the 50k + OB. Seems like a nice prize.
Varn asks: What does OB do?
Browncow says: Well, drink named after you.
BOING! Treefish bounces around in a very Tiggerish manner.
Treefish says: extreme HP + SP healing
Krom says: +40 to everything (non-creep)
Pixie says: back
Browncow says: 5 free drinks at the pub.
Quinn says: It-Uile: The serious clan with the silly name
Varn asks: Hard to get?
Krom smiles at Quinn happily.
Treefish nods to Varn solemnly.
Krom says: Yeah varn. Big mob has him.
Darien says: must kill a 102k to get, Varn
Krom says: I mean big mob has it... .
Darien says: and he hits harder than most 102ks ;)
Pixie asks: so, do you want OB to be one of the prizes?
Krom nods solemnly.
Krom says: I think that's great, and in keeping with our healing theme.
Varn thinks.
Pixie asks: one suggestion is OB, another is 5 free drinks at the
pub. any other suggestions?
Darien says: Browncow suggested another drink named after the winner
Krom says: Oooh. 5 free drinks. Quinn's Healing Helper. That's a toughie.
Pixie laughs.
Pixie says: Darien, are we able to do that? I know Elwing was limiting
hte number of special drinks.
Pixie asks: Can we rename nonspecial drinks?
Darien says: having a member name a drink isn't the same as a custom
drink
Pixie says: sweet
Varn says: We need a [-fw-] elixir.
Darien says: We don't have any custom drinks, thus far.
Pixie says: sweet, sweet, and more sweet :)
Pixie says: See, that's why I leave the pub to you.
Pixie hugs Darien warmly.
Krom says: I agree with Varn. I was hoping to get a "Krom's Firewater'
at the pub. :)
Pixie throws her head back and cackles gleefully.
Pixie says: ok, we have three suggestions for prizes
Pixie asks: any others?
Darien says: And I can rename (remake) one of the current drinks if
the winner doesn't want a -fw- named after him/her ;)
Pixie nods solemnly.
Varn says: Hah, a Krom's firewater should be a [-fw-] intox+++++++
Krom says: Dang. You're right.
Pixie says: Last chance for making suggestions for prizes
Varn says: Flavor before function.
Treefish says: bottle of milk
Treefish says: + some OB
Browncow exclaims: Honestly occifer. I'm not as thunk as you drink
I am!
Pixie asks: A bottle of milk AND OB, treefish?
Treefish nogs noggingly.
Varn asks: How about an udder of milk?
Krom says: I don't know what milk does. :)
Treefish says: both are fairly easy to get for a healthy hero :)
Pixie says: ok
Browncow puckers up and lets out a tiny Moo.
Pixie says: it heals for 200 of each :)
Pixie says: Moving on.
Treefish grins mischievously.
Krom says: But I'm okay with all the ideas. So whatever pixie picks
is perfectly perfect.
Varn nods solemnly.
Pixie says: I will get that up on the website and on the clan board
and even the motd within the next few days
Varn says: Krom has the truth of it.
Pixie says: The winner will get to pick fromt he following list: 1)
one pack of OB and a bottle of milk, 2) 5 free drinks at the clan
pub, or 3) name a drink
BOING! Treefish bounces around in a very Tiggerish manner.
Pixie says: Still in our Clan Charter, I wanted to inform and reinforce
something that I read.
Pixie says: One of our long term goals is to have at least one member
healing at the statue at all times.
Pixie says: I think we're doing a pretty good job at this. Increasing
membership can help us on that goal.
Pixie says: I don't think there's anything else I want to say about
that. ;)
Pixie says: Another biggie.
Pixie says: Currently, a restriction in the clan is that you MUST
have a healing spell/skill to be a member.
Pixie says: The founders pondered the concept of having an honorary
position for the helpers of Ragnarok who cannot actually HEAL.
Varn nods solemnly.
Pixie says: This would be people who cast walls to protect other players,
who buy food/drink for other players, who help players/newbies to
get equipment.
Varn nods solemnly.
Pixie asks: Are you all interested in opening our membership to include
an honorary position as described above?
Darien shakes her head.
Quinn shakes his head.
Pixie says: Oh, and my examples are not all-inclusive.
Pixie says: This is a major issue, that I would require ALL members
to approve for it to happen.
Krom says: I'd be interested in hearing the dissenting opinions.
Pixie says: er, all ACTIVE members
Pixie says: I would also like to hear the dissenting opinions.
Darien raises her hand.
Pixie says: Darien
Quinn raises his hand.
Varn says: handraise
Varn raises his hand.
Pixie says: Darien first.
Darien says: It-Uile, as stated in the charter, means "All healer"
when literally translated. That alone should be enough to show that
you must BE a healer (have a healing spell/skill) in order to join.
Darien says: done
Pixie says: Quinn
Quinn says: I think that allowing people without specific, innate
healing abilities will lead to a dilution of our membership.
Pixie says: Varn
Quinn says: As a clan, we have very specific requirements. /Anybody/
can buy drinks.
Quinn says: DOne
Pixie says: Alright.
Varn says: There is also the matter of 'greater' and 'lesser' members,
i.e. the healers and the 'others'.
Browncow raises her hand.
Pixie asks: There anyone who would like to give opinions FOR it?
Pixie says: Browncow
Browncow says: Well, we'd be letting people in without giving them
the opportunity for advancement.
Treefish nods solemnly.
Browncow asks: After all, could a non-healer become Phoenix?
Pixie asks: Would anyone else like to comment?
Krom says: yes
Pixie says: Krom
Pixie says: Sorry...I hope I didn't miss anything in there....
Krom takes a deep breath.
Krom says: The spirit and strength of the clan comes from the heart,
not a particular power or gift of ability. There are people like us
who through no fault of their own can't do some of the things we can
do. I think the clan would be stronger if we could allow these people
to stand beside us as brothers and sisters.
Krom says: There is a risk though.
Krom says: The risk is to what extent would the identity of the clan
be impacted in a negative way. It might not be desirable to have people
walking up to clan members and asking "Can you heal?"
Darien raises her hand.
Pixie takes a deep breath.
Pixie says: In response to that, one nice thing about Ragnarok is
that you CAN have more than one character. If you create a character
that cannot heal, then realize that It-uile is the place for you,
you can either a) change guilds, or b) create a new character that
can heal.
Krom says: So I think it has to be weighed carefully, but no one has
fully swayed me from my position that it would be a good thing.
Pixie says: Darien
Darien takes a deep breath.
Darien says: In addition to what Pixie said about creating an alt
or changing guilds, there are other clans out there that are dedicated
to 'giving healing items' and helping in other ways than actually
having a healing spell. Perhaps if a person doesn't meet our requirements
(which are NOT strict), they should seek out another clan to begin
with.
Pixie asks: Any other comments?
Varn shakes his head.
Pixie says: While there is a pretty overwhelming movement to NOT change
our restrictions, I think it's good that we discussed this.
Pixie says: This helped us all to concretely think about the clan
and form opinions on what we are.
Krom says: none for me. I'm between 'undecided' and 'in favor of'
but even being on that side of neutral I am a clear minority. :)
Pixie says: This also helps us so we know not to go about doing that.
Pixie says: I know that not all say we shouldn't do it.
Pixie says: I can see reasons for and against it.
Pixie says: Since it was mentioned in everything Alien and Catain
wrote back and forth...and since it was discussed on the clan channel,
I found it important for us to bring it up here.
Pixie says: And on a side note, I just reminded Haelix of the meeting.
He forgot. His girlfriend is over.
Pixie says: Now, one last thing about the charter
Pixie says: Cat and I have been discussing the rankings.
Pixie says: A few updates.
Pixie says: When there is no masterhealer, as is the case now, the
clan second will do the job of the masterhealer (plan Events)
Pixie says: Druid is the position that heros should reach before becoming
an officer. In addition, it has been agreed that it is the natural
position for Wizard members.
Pixie says: This means, that when Quinn and Dondalus wiz, they will
be promoted to Druid, since they can no longer heal and fulfill the
positions they are in at the time.
Pixie says: It says that the troubador must be a bard, but this is
not 100% accurate
Pixie says: If POSSIBLE, the troubador should be a bard, but if there
is not a bard that can fulfill the position, someone else may take
be our troubador
Pixie says: That's all.
Pixie says: Now, for Tiny Plots.
Pixie says: First of all, WOW! The Scavenger Hunt was better than
I ever thought! (Minus Rag crashing).
Pixie says: I heard lots of really positive comments from those who
participated.
Quinn goes 'Woo woo!'
Varn nods solemnly.
Pixie exclaims: And one last time, congratz to Quinn!
Quinn says: It was fun up until the point where the MUD crashed and
I lost my sack
Pixie says: Moving on.
Quinn giggles.
Pixie asks: What's next with regards to tiny plots?
Pixie says: Well, first of all, lots of things are going to be happening
in the near future.
Pixie says: From now on, you may not know as much of what is happening
with our tiny plots.
Pixie says: Do not be surprised or concerned if you are told 'We need
you here on <date> at <time>. There will be an event.'
Pixie says: You will find out what's going on when you get there.
Browncow nods solemnly.
Pixie says: I can say that there will be two events occurring relatively
soon. One that is by ourselves, and another that includes another
clan.
Darien raises her hand.
Pixie says: Your active participation in these events is encouraged
and promoted. Try your best to attend.
Pixie says: Darien
Pixie says: I will TRY my best to work on having them at times that
most members can come.
Darien says: Just wanted to toss out that the Garou meeting is Sunday
and promises to be an interesting event to attend also, if we are
available.
Pixie says: Cat is MOSTLY in charge of getting these events together,
seeing as we do not have a Masterhealer currently.
Pixie exclaims: Oh, I was going to ask Lupus if I could attend, just
to watch!
Darien says: He's invited everyone to be there to offer support.
Pixie says: Sweet
Darien says: done
Krom asks: what time on sunday?
Pixie says: Additionally, if you have any ideas for new Tiny Plots,
then please mail me. Do not say them in public or to too many people,
because we don't want too many people to know too much of what's going
on with them. ;)
Pixie says: 9pm EDT
Darien says: It's on the RP Board near the guild ;)
Pixie says: Moving on
Pixie says: The clan pub
Pixie says: We were discussing before the possibility of changing
the entrance from enter/out to e/w
Pixie says: Or we could change it to n/s.
Pixie says: Or we could leave it as is.
.Krom prefers n/s.
Pixie says: This was something I really wanted a month ago when we
had our meeting, but now it doesn't seem as important to me. But it
could still be nice to change it.
Pixie beeps.
Pixie says: Let's see if I can wake some people up so we can do some
voting. ;)
Varn asks: ?
Browncow puckers up and lets out a tiny Moo.
Pixie says: Our first vote will be: Do you want to change the entrance/exit?
(Not picking the directions yet).
Darien notes that inactivity may not mean that person is AFK, just
that he/she isn't typing.
Browncow agrees with Darien.
Pixie says: If the vote is positive, then we will have a second to
decide the direction change.
Pixie says: I figured that, Darien, but I just wanted to wake up anyone
who had gone crosseyed. ;)
Pixie says: So, if you would like to see a change in the entrance/exit,
say 'yeah'
Darien also notes that her monitor doesn't, in fact, beep, when you
do that ;)
Browncow rumbles: yeah
Darien says: yeah
Krom says: yeah
Varn says: yes
Pixie says: That's 4/7 people.
Quinn shrugs.
Quinn says: abstain
Pixie asks: Any against?
Treefish says: I'm for as well
Pixie says: ok
Pixie says: Next vote. Would you prefer it to be e/w or n/s. Answer
by saying 'e/w' or 'n/s'.
Varn says: e/w
Krom says: n/s
Darien says: n/s
Treefish says: d/u
Treefish whistles innocently, trying to hide his guilt.
Quinn says: n/s (wouldn't east be in the sea?)
Pixie spanks Treefish - Bad Treefish! Naughty Treefish!
Browncow chuckles at Treefish politely.
Treefish motions east/west
Pixie says: from hwere you are...
Browncow rumbles: Abstain, doesn't matter to me.
Pixie says: you cannot go any further north, or any further east
Pixie says: so it would be entering north, or entering east
Quinn says: But from the room description there, I've always visualized
a sea to the east and cliff to the north
Treefish asks: as in, enter north ?
Pixie says: We have 3 votes for north entrance. I for an east entrance.
Pixie says: I'd have to go and look, Quinn.
Pixie says: you're in the middle of the sea though
Darien says: so maybe our pub will be a cave ;)
Krom says: It's on the shore.
Pixie says: No it's not.
Pixie says: It's 'in the sea'
Krom says: Ah. Always thought it was on the shore. :)
Pixie says: You are swimming from town to Champlin
Quinn says: The deep blue sea stretches north and east to the horizon,
marred only by a
Darien nods to Pixie solemnly.
Krom says: ... a pub? :)
Pixie asks: Darien, is this enough to go ahead and change it to north/south?
Quinn says: line break ;)
Quinn says: So, it's screwed up no matter what is chosen
Browncow chuckles at Quinn politely.
Darien says: To me it is. I'll talk to Elwing about the requirements
and get back to you.
Pixie says: The description of the room can at least partially be
changed. The last line was written by me and can be changed by us.
Pixie says: You just have to get the object for changing things.
Darien nods solemnly.
Quinn asks: How about northwest?
Pixie says: That's all I had to do to make the entrance/exit. While
you're at it, go ahead and see if there's anything else to change.
Darien says: But if she says no for whatever reason, I'll let ya know
:P
Krom says: We could make our pub a ship that moves around so you never
quite know where ti is from day to day, like the entrance to a very
stupid realm. ;)
Quinn says: That would not require major shifts in reality.
Pixie says: Alright.
Quinn bonks Krom on the head.
Krom exclaims: ouch!
Pixie says: Darien, I made the descriptions outside, so PLEASE feel
free to change it if you want, while you have the object, ;)
Krom shuts up.
Pixie says: Moving on.
Pixie asks: Any new ideas for the clan pub?
Darien says: I'll look it over and make changes as I see fit ;)
Pixie says: I'll take that as a no.
Treefish bonks Pixie on the head.
Browncow asks: A non-intoxicating -fw- with 5 servings, like Quinn's
potion?
Pixie exclaims: The easy stuff is next!
Krom says: Would like an fw drink. :)
Treefish raises his hand.
Pixie says: Treefish
Pixie says: Darien, anything that's said now is totally YOUR juristiction.
:)
Darien says: Not sure if that's possible, Browncow. -fw- is for sure,
but the intox level is predetermined by the drink object
Treefish says: hmm. about the pub..
Darien nods to Pixie solemnly.
Treefish asks: do we have any big multi-drinks, like the carafe, yet?
Browncow nods to Darien solemnly.
Quinn says: Afwe drinks are not intox. They are bloating.
Quinn says: I thought...
Quinn shrugs.
Pixie says: Multi-drinks: Quinn's drink
Krom asks: The Bachanal mana drinks are intox I think?
Varn shrugs at Pixie helplessly.
Darien says: Amazons and Bacchanal have every drink type available
in their pubs. Some specials are intox, some are just elixirs
Treefish scratchs his head.
Darien says: I'd have to look at the object to say for sure which
is which.
Treefish says: what would be kinda neat is a drink that heals more
SP than HP
Treefish says: (correct me if we already have one ;)
Varn says: I don't even know where the Amazon pub is...
Pixie asks: Don' twe have a spell elixir?
Darien says: We have spell elixirs, but they are ridiculoulsly priced
Treefish nods to Darien solemnly.
Quinn says: s,w,down from the house
Darien says: s,w,d,n :P
Krom says: It's under the bridge.
Pixie asks: Anything else?
Quinn asks: Anything else, meaning...?
Darien says: If a multi-serve of anything is desired, tell me and
I'll see about brewing it up to replace a current single serve
Pixie says: regarding the pub
Quinn nods to Pixie solemnly.
Pixie says: We've made it to second 5 (out of 6) on our agenda. The
Website/Publicity.
Pixie says: section
Pixie exclaims: First of all, woo hoo!
Pixie says: LOTS of people submitted their descriptions.
Pixie asks: Way to go to Cat, Darien, Browncow, Varn, anyone else?
Pixie says: We only need descriptions still from Haelix, Peat, Senae,
Jebu, Catain, and Path.
Krom gives props to everyone.
Pixie says: If anyone knew Catain, Path, or Jebu and would like to
write something about them, feel free to do so and mail me.
Darien says: I say we make something up for Catain and Path ;)
Quinn grins at Darien evilly.
Krom says: Never heard of them.
Darien says: Actually, Catain's would pretty much be the same as whatever
Alien's is.
Pixie says: It will be noted in the description that it was written
by someone else (see Alien's for an example)
Darien says: And Path's.. well.. ditto.
Pixie says: Their bios are on my 'to-do list', which is rather long.
Pixie exclaims: So yay for us only have 3 more active members that
need to get descriptions in!
Pixie says: Hopefully Haelix, Peat, and Senae will be inspired soon.
:)
Pixie says: Just so y'all know, you can have a picture of your character
on the website.
Pixie says: I know that Darien has one up.
Darien nods solemnly.
Pixie says: This is something that many of the new members have not
done, and I just wanted to let you know it's possible, and we'd love
to see what your characters look like! :)
Pixie says: Next
Pixie says: help clans and help it-uile STILL need to be written
Pixie says: that goes back to my to-do list that's taller than me
Krom has to leave in 10 minutes.
Pixie takes a deep breath.
Pixie says: I am looking for a history of It-uile. This is briefly
discussed in the clan charter. If you feel inspired, and would like
to report on what you have learned (in other words, make something
up), then feel free to do so and mail me Pixie says: I'm trying, Krom.
Pixie says: Next.
Pixie exclaims: Treefish has offered to redo the website for us!
Pixie goes 'Woo woo!'
Treefish grins evilly.
Varn nods solemnly.
Pixie says: He made a very cool page, and showed it to me, but I don't
know how finalized it is yet.
Varn says: The current one has errors, too...
Browncow goes 'Woo woo!' at Treefish.
Pixie says: Also, he was discussing us getting www.ituile_clan.com
or something like that
Treefish nods solemnly.
Pixie exclaims: errors? you need to tell me about those!
Krom says: Wow. Vanity domain? That would be cool. :)
Treefish raises his hand.
Pixie says: treefish
Varn says: Too many. Didn't have the energy...
Pixie exclaims: varn, i can't fix what i don't know about!
Treefish says: I have the link to the page here, if anyone wants to
take a peek
Krom nods nod.
Pixie says: give us the link, and people can look at it at their leisure
Pixie says: we'll let you know once the transition is completed and
we have a new site :)
Treefish says: http://12.211.28.223/ituile/
Pixie says: if you have anything you'd like to do to help us make
the website better (aka, write articles, report bugs) please mudmail
me :)
Pixie says: moving on
Krom tells you, "whoah.... blogging software?"
Pixie says: next order of business is haelix. he isn't here, so that's
not going to happen. don't worry about it though. you'll understand
in the coming month or so ;)
Pixie says: finally
Pixie says: the floor is open
Pixie asks: anyone have a working braincell left, that would like
to say anything else?
Varn stands closer to the wall.
Pixie says: raise hand, or do soemthing to call my attentiont o you
;)
Varn looks around.
Krom says: I had an open
Krom says: But I think I'll post it to the board instead.
Pixie asks: Varn? Is that a 'I want to get out' or 'I want to talk'?
Quinn is on the phone.
Pixie says: btw, if anyone would like to help with the help files,
just send me a tell soemtime :)
Darien says: simply not using the 'reply' command would fix that phasing
thing until the bug reports get tended to :P
Pixie says: i can let you know what needs to be done, you can pick
a section and write it up :)
Varn says: I was dreading the one person who, when 'any other business'
is pleasantly looming on the horizon five to five,...
Varn says: Says this one bit left...
Varn says: And prolongs the meeting by an hour.
Krom grins evilly.
Pixie asks: well, is there anyone that has anything to say?
Pixie says: cause if not, we can be done
Varn nods solemnly.
Krom says: I do have one thing.
Pixie says: krom
Pixie says: varn
Pixie says: er...hmmm
Pixie says: Krom first. :)
Varn says: Krom.
Krom says: Good job with the agenda and running the meeting, Pixie.
Thanks to everyone for keeping the chatter to a minimum. :)
Pixie says: Thanks
Krom says: done. :)
Varn says: The nod was to the 'done'.
Pixie says: My hope is that once we get our officers going, then we
can have reports by them, where they are in charge of different sections.
:)
Pixie says: That is, Darien would be in charge of discussion fo the
Pub, the Cleric would be in charge of discussion of Membership, etc.
Pixie says: We might attempt that next month. ;)
Pixie says: I try to keep the sections the same each meeting, so that
we know where we are.
Pixie says: And I think it's time that I say:
Darien says: I wanna see you and the Cleric in the same meeting, Pix
Pixie says: Meeting's ajourned.

sense by the end. :)

Pixie asks: Does anyone have any problems with him being promoted?
Quinn shakes his head.
Dondalus shakes his head.
Varn says: No.

need a vote, but I thought I should present it. :)

Krom smiles at Darien happily.
Pixie says: This was a mini-meeting.
Darien says: Shortest meeting we've ever had ;)
Pixie says: All other business that was tabled because of the crashing
last meeting is still being tabled, because I'd rather party than
meet.
Dondalus nods to Darien solemnly.
Pixie exclaims: So now, I'd like to explain why we are here!
Quinn laughs.
Pixie exclaims: We are here to celebrate how much It-uile has been
booming!
Quinn goes 'Woo woo!'

in one month!

Krom asks: Start a party?
Quinn asks: Just buy a bunch of stuff and drop it on the ground?
Pixie says: I meant for me to buy the things.
Pixie says: I don't want to buy TOO much.
Pixie giggles.
Quinn snickers.
Krom says: First round's on me! :)
Pixie says: I'll go buy stuff.
Pixie stands up.
Pixie flies off out.

[RP] Pixie: The race was VERY close between Quinn and Krom.
[RP] Quinn eyes Krom suspiciously.
[RP] Krom eyes Quinn.
[RP] Krom: ..... apprehensively.
[RP] Pixie: Ultimately, after much counting (and checking for loose
chads), we found that Krom had 58 points and Quinn had 60 points.
[RP] Pixie sends a fireball into the sky: *G*R*A*T*Z* *Quinn*
[RP] Quinn gasps.
[RP] Quinn faints and lands with a thud!
[RP] Varn sends a fireball into the sky that spells out: *G*R*A*T*Z*.

[RP] Komodo snaps. Thought that halo would but Krom over the top.
[RP] Darien: You all did remarkably well with such a scattered list!
[RP] Pixie: A consolation prize for Krom is still being decided on.

[RP] Pixie: But for Quinn...
[RP] Pixie: He has four choices for his prize.
[RP] Komodo: A kick in the pants?
[RP] Pixie: Make that 5 choices.

[RP] Pixie: a free promotion (unless an officer)
[RP] Pixie: pick two items from the scavenger hunt to keep
[RP] Komodo: or a kick in the pants.
[RP] Pixie: Keep in mind, Quinn is such a phenominal member of It-uile,
he has already climbed two ranks today!
[RP] Quinn: Do I have to decide now, or can I stall? :)
[RP] Pixie: Think long and hard...and quick!
[RP] Pixie: We'd love to reward you now.
[RP] Darien chuckles politely.
[RP] Pixie: I mean, don't you want everyone to know what you got?
[RP] Quinn: I say...go with naming a new drink
[RP] Pixie goes 'Woo woo!' at Quinn.
[RP] Varn: An excellent choice.
[RP] Darien: Oh sure, pick the one that causes me the most work ;)
[RP] Darien licks Quinn.
[RP] Pixie: In that case, Darien and/or Cat will be working with you
on that one.
[RP] Elwing: Make him do it :) one minute adjustment. :)
[RP] Krom: Would have picked that one too. ;-)
[RP] Quinn: Other things are but fleeting material items, but a permanent
drink will earn the scorn of many for ages to come due to it's high
price tag.
[RP] Pixie goes 'Woo woo!'
[RP] Quinn eyes Elwing suspiciously.
[RP] Krom nods solemnly.
[RP] Pixie: And now that we have collected all of these items...
[RP] Pixie: We must give them away!
[RP] Varn: I think it is disgusting that the Bacchanal has the best
[--we] elixir.
[RP] Varn: After all, this is our healing mana.
[RP] Quinn nogs at Varn noggingly.
[RP] Pixie: Then suck up to Quinn, and get him to make his drink a
we drink. :)
[RP] Krom: Bacchanal needs to heal too.... Their livers especially!
[RP] Quinn: What will we do with all my items that were lost in the
ether? I guess I have already given those away...
[RP] Quinn giggles.
[RP] Quinn: Bacchanal needs lots of detox drinks. :)
[RP] Pixie: If anyone is interested in any of these wonderful items
we have, please come to the It-uile Pub (4e,1ne,2n,enter from the
statue!)
[RP] Pixie: We have mana potions, lolli-rings, hemetite rings.
[RP] Pixie: We've got pretzels, peanuts, ankhs, halos, kk, sharktooth
necklaces.
[RP] Brista: hemi rings my hemi ring just exploded
[RP] Pixie: We've got beer, and any other drinks here you want.
[RP] Pixie: Everyone come join the party!!!
[RP] Varn: Free healing.

prize!

5 free drinks using this brand new card!
[RP] Pixie sends a fireball into the sky: *G*R*A*T*Z* *Krom*

1. Introduction
===============
Pixie says: Thank you all for coming, and I'm SOOOOOOOOO excited to
have a meeting of all 5 of us for once! I hope these can happen more
often. :)
Pixie says: You should have all seen the agenda on the board, and
since I have had no messages regarding it, I assume we do not have
any changes to it.
Pixie says: So first off, membership.
****************************************
After discussion,
The present Clan Members unaninmously voted both Quinn and Krom into
the clan.
****************************************
2. Discussion
of Recruitment Waiting/Meeting times
==================================================
Pixie says: Moving
on.
Pixie asks: Are there any comments on recruitment?
Cat raises her hand.
Pixie asks: Cat?
Cat says: got a question
Pixie says: Shoot.
Cat asks: as of right now, we only add members after we've had a discussion
in the meetings, right?
Pixie nods solemnly.
Cat says: and we meet once a month
Cat asks: right?
Pixie nods solemnly.
Cat says: ok
Cat says: i think that's a little long to have a person wait
Haelix says: I agree.
Pixie says: It depends upon when they ask.
Cat says: true
Pixie says: Poor Quinn had to wait a month, but Krom had only a week.
Pixie says: A month seemed long...it seemed to just be a formality
that we had to wait.
Pixie says: But I feel we barely had a chance to scope Krom out.
Cat says: and mad props to Quinn for not looking elsewhere
Pixie nogs noggingly.
You agrees on the mad props.
Pixie says: Well, that right there shows dedication to the clan, too.
Cat nods solemnly.
Pixie says: Then we will have to make sure to give him mad props when
we invite him. :)
Darien says: I spoke with Quinn periodically throughout the month
to be sure he knew we hadn't forgotten his request ;)
Pixie nods solemnly.
Pixie says: Well, here's an idea.
Pixie says: I would like to get to the point where we have a meeting
once a month, and an event once a month.
Pixie says: If we did things every other week, then we could increase
the times we discuss, by having a brief meeting on event day/evenings.
Pixie says: Where we just discussed prospective members at that meeting,
and everything else got put off until the official meeting.
Pixie asks: Would that make things better?
Cat says: we could try it and see
Pixie says: And then, if someone asked too close to the meeting date,
and we weren't ready to invite, then they would only have to wait
2 weeks, instead of a whole month.
Darien says: my only problem with it is that "life" is quite
hectic most of the time, so meetings every 2 weeks is sometimes tough
for me
Pixie nods solemnly.
Cat says: i just feel that we need to keep the interest of the potential
recruits
Pixie exclaims: Well, just look how long it took for me to have a
meeting with all of you guys here!
Cat grins evilly.
Pixie says: We will just have to try our best to make do.
Pixie says: And if things get really hectic, we can always use the
board for discussion of new members. It's just that y'all have been
rather quiet on there. ;)
Cat says: or even mudmail
Pixie nods solemnly.
Darien says: i would have sent a mudmail if i'd had something negative
to say.
Pixie nods solemnly.
Pixie says: Well, it's good to hear the positives too. :)
Darien says: the board just doesn't seem like a really 'secure' place
Haelix says: me too.
Haelix says: Yeah
Haelix says: They can read it if they join.
Pixie says: Good point.
Darien says: oh, i'd post positive on the board if i weren't going
to be at the meeting ;)
Pixie asks: Oh, so I guess we decided that we will use mail to discuss
potential members. If every member responds, or we at least get a
majority that say 'aye', then we can invite them before having a meeting.
Right?
Darien nods solemnly.
Cat says: sounds good
3. Discussion of the small plot to be held by the clan. (Henceforward
know as the TP for Tiny Plot, which seems dumb to me, but hey, who'm
I?)
========================================================================
Pixie says: Moving
on.
Pixie says: Conclave/Tiny Plot
Pixie asks: Cat, do you have any comments regarding Conclave?
Pixie asks: Was there anything else there, besides tiny plots, that
we should mention?
Cat asks: umm, no. was i suppose to?
Pixie says: No, you weren't supposed to, but since your my second,
you have to be my memory mine is out to lunch. ;)
Cat says: just that all the clans are going to try to host a tiny
plot within themselves
Cat says: after we get the hang of it
Cat says: we'll work on slowly interacting plots
Pixie says: They gave us a month to do it, but, considering when our
meeting date was so late, I decided that we will take until May 31st
to have our TP.
Haelix asks: So this plot is It-Uile only?
Pixie nods solemnly.
Cat nods solemnly.
Cat says: yeah, start small, then go for the big one
Pixie says: But anyways, closer to now...
Cat says: umm, the only thing i remember us having questions on was
who could attend a conclave meeting
Pixie takes a deep breath.
Pixie says: I posted on the board my idea for a TP. One where everyone
has a list of items to get, and then for us to have a big party at
the end...based on something druid or something like that (if there
is a holiday coming up...or we could just make one up).
Cat says: i don't remember what rank and up it was
Pixie nods to Cat solemnly.
Pixie says: Well, Ironfist's scribe was there...
Pixie says: Should be proxy and up
Pixie says: proxy is 15
Pixie says: in our clan
Cat ponders the situation.
Darien says: ranks 11 and up have proxy power, so technically any
of us could be there.
Pixie asks: 11?
Cat thanks Darien profusely.
Cat exclaims: my lifesaver!
Pixie says: oh, yeah, i guess it is ;)
Darien says: I thought it was 11.. could be 12.
Pixie says: It's 11.
Pixie says: Masterhealer
and up.
Pixie says: Because we decided that the person in charge of events
ought to be able to see what's going on.
Darien says: But the conclave, according to X, is for leaders and
actual proxies only, and scribe could be tossed in for meeting notes.
Pixie asks: So I should mail X and ask?
Darien nods solemnly.
Pixie ponders the situation.
Cat says: well, my point in bringing it up, is to make sure everyone
knows what ranks are there and such
Darien nods solemnly.
Pixie says: There, mailed.
Cat says: so we don't get hard feelings that so and such got to go
and whateveryername is didn't
Pixie nods solemnly.
Darien says: basically, all of us here and Sprite have proxy power,
but only you two are supposed to use the power except for reading
scrolls (and making drinks in my case)
Haelix says: And promoting Phoenices.
You snicker.
Darien tickles you.
Pixie says: And I don't think Sprite will be going to any Conclaves.
Darien nods solemnly.
Pixie says: Actually, not even SPrite.
Pixie says: Just Phoenix
Pixie says: Which we have 4
Pixie snickers.
Pixie says: but 2 aren't here anymore
Darien says: um, I said all of us and Sprite have the powers.. not
that we shoud use them ;)
Pixie says: oh, i misunderstood
Cat says: so, our thing would be to find out from X who's gonna be
there and what not
Cat says: and we'll get back to the clan on that
Pixie says: And I mailed him asking.
Darien says: and only you two (Pixie and Cat) should use them.
Cat nods solemnly.
Pixie asks: OK, so, I already said my idea on a TP. Anyone else have
ideas?
Cat says: i had one for later
Darien says: I mailed you my borrowed idea ;)
Cat says: coz i couldn't sleep the other night and it sucked
Darien says: but it would also be for later, as it requires other-clan
participation
Pixie asks: Should I explain yours, Darien?
Pixie says: I say we wait on it.
Cat asks: that was the Tempest/Bladesingers co op right?
Darien says: We need more members before mine would really work anyway
if everyone here gets to know the details ;)
Darien nods to Cat solemnly.
Haelix says: I don't have any ideas offhand.
Pixie nods solemnly.
Cat says: and i haven't worked all the kinks out of mine
Darien eyes Pixie suspiciously.
Pixie grumbles unhappily.
Pixie says: Evidently I'm the keeper of the list of 363's.
Pixie asks: So, do we have any ideas for now?
Pixie says: Then I guess we will do my idea for a TP.
Haelix says: I'll think about it.
Cat says: i have one, but it's not ready for presentation yet. probly
have it ready for the next meeting
Pixie says: Well, I want a TP planned by the end of this meeting.
Pixie asks: So, are we going to do my TP?
Cat asks: ok, all in favor of going on with Pixie's idea?
Haelix asks: What is yours?
Pixie says: To have a scavenger hunt thing, where you have a list
of healing items (including armour, weapons, food, drink, smokes,
etc.) that you must find.
Pixie says: You get a point per item found, and they should not be
the items that you personally used.
Pixie says: er, personally use.
Pixie says: You would have X amount of time to find the things, and
then we'd have a party as a culminating event.
Pixie says: This party should be based on some druid/witch-type holiday.
Pixie says: The food and drinks and such would be used for the party,
and the other collected items would be donated to players that are
online at the time.
Pixie says: The member with the most points, would recieve some sort
of prize.
Pixie says: I think that's it.
Pixie asks: Comments?
You nod solemnly.
Haelix says: I'm a bit of a bad mood, so I'm going to refrain from
anything.
Cat says: looking at our rl calander, we missed one already
Cat says: the next isn't until june
Pixie says: Well, keeping in mind the fact that I was not around for
the first round of clans, I do not know if this is exactly what X
means when he says to have a TP.
Pixie says: I thought of this, because I was trying to find something
that actually included healing.
Cat says: i was just saying
Cat says: since it's rp, we can make it up
Pixie says: I want honest opinions, and am not offended if you say
'that idea royally sucks'
Darien chuckles politely.
Pixie says: I meant that whole thing to Haelix.
Haelix says: I understand.
Pixie says: And yes, Cat, I would not have a problem with making up
a holiday. Haelix says: I'm reserving judgement, because I took into
account those factors. Because I personally might not like it, doesn't
mean that it's a bad idea.
Pixie says: Perhaps we could even make up an in-clan holiday. We could
make up some distant history that would deal with it.
Pixie asks: Is there any discussion? Or can we vote on whether or
not to do this for the TP?
You poke Peat in the ribs.
Pixie says: To vote would NOT to set anything in stone, except to
say we'd have something relatively close to this as our TP.
Darien says: that TP isn't .exactly. what the TP's of old were, but
it's a good way to get us all involved in remembering where healing
items are
Pixie says: And considering the fact that no one else has offered
up any ideas...
Darien says: IMO
Pixie says: Yeah, what you said.
Cat says: the thing is, it's something
Cat says: we need anything to get us going
Darien nods to Cat solemnly.
Pixie says: It is a requirement for Master Healer to know where everything
is.
Cat says: it doesn't have to be big
Cat says: it just has to happen
Cat says: anything
Cat says: little rp, or tons
Darien says: I've got the beginnings of an idea in my head, but not
sure how to form it fully yet.
Pixie says: OK, all those in favor of having a scavenger hunt and
party for the clan's first TP, say aye
Cat says: aye
Darien says: aye
Haelix says: ayebstain.
Cat says: next item
Pixie says: we need a date for it.
Cat asks: ok, who's good for a weekend date?
Pixie says: I am.
Cat asks: either a saturday or a sunday?
Haelix says: Depends on if I get a job.
Darien says: any time after 3 central on weekends
Pixie says: Seems to be good, based on this meeting.
Haelix says: But that or evenings.
Pixie says: Yeah, I'll be getting a job eventually, too.
Pixie says: But it needs to be before the 31st.
Darien says: generally, any time after 3 central any day except tues/wed
;)
Pixie asks: What's up with May 24-25?
Pixie says: That's memorial day weekend
Pixie asks: or 31-1?
Pixie says: Sundays I usually play ultimate, and would be available
in the evening.
Darien says: would prefer the 24 over the 25.
Darien says: hoping to have a 'date' as my daughter will spending
sunday evening at grandma's ;)
Pixie says: The reason why I liked this idea, was that we could have
some time during the day, where people could do things, and then at
the end of the day we could all get together
Pixie asks: OK, how about may 24th?
Cat says: fine by me
Haelix says: Ok with me.
Darien says: sounds good to me :>
Pixie says: and that would be helpful, cause if we all try at the
same time to find things, then we're going to not have multiples of
htings
Pixie says: May 24th it is then.
Pixie says: Something will be planned so you can get the list of items.
Darien says: do you already have a list of items, pixie? ;)
Pixie asks: And we will have the party in the evening. What time would
be good for the party?
Pixie says: No I do not...that's coming up on my agenda in just a
minute ;)
Pixie says: need enough time so that everyone can get their items
Cat asks: how about a window of time?
Darien asks: If I may offer/volunteer a suggestion?
Cat says: yes
Pixie asks: what's up?
Pixie says: I don't want to make the list here
Pixie says: But I'd like to have a volunteer to help me make the list.
Pixie says: And then if we could put the list out either that day,
or a day or two early...
Darien says: I go to work very shortly after reboot on the weekends.
If you'd like, I can formulate the list (with help from mudmail from
people) and mail it to all clan members before i go to work that morning.
Haelix says: We could always incorporate Brewski's quests into this
somehow.
Pixie says: I don't know if any of that addresses your suggestion.
Pixie asks: brewski's quests?
Cat says: yeah
Cat says: good point
Cat says: i love Brewski
Pixie says: That would be fine.
Pixie says: That would be awesome, Darien.
Pixie asks: So does that meant eh list would go up May 24th, right
after the reboot?
Darien nods solemnly.
Cat says: or one of brewski's items can be put on the list
Darien says: 4:30 am central, so within an hour of reboot
Pixie says: That'd be very cool.
Darien says: which would give everyone most of the day if we plan
the party for around 6pm or so
Pixie says: 6pm what time zone? ;)
Darien says: central, sorry.
Pixie says: do we want it around this time right now? or an hour from
now? ;)
Darien says: just a suggestion, mind you.
Pixie says: 6 is a nice round number...;)
Darien says: i'd say an hour from now, just so i'll have time after
work to find stuff too ;)
Darien is selfish that way, yanno
Pixie nods solemnly.
Pixie says: that's why i was asking ;)
Pixie says: list goes up at 430am central
Darien says: approximately ;)
Pixie says: party at 6pm central (or somewhere around there)
Pixie says: that gives people at least 12 hours
Pixie asks: how many items do you think should be on the list?
Darien shrugs.
Pixie says: i figure people can find a bag or something to put everything
in...and then we can look in the bags
Cat asks: how bout 5?
Pixie says: maybe the satchels, since they would be different colors?
;)
Cat says: not too many, not too much
Darien says: off the top of my head, I can think of 5 items.
Pixie says: ummm...i was thinking more than 5
Pixie says: some can be common, but others should be harder to find
Pixie asks: how about 10-15?
Darien says: why set a list-length? I can just put every item submitted
to me on the list ;)
Pixie says: good point :)
Pixie says: i want it to be a real challenge to find everything :)
Pixie says: don't want any ties. ;)
Darien nods solemnly.
Pixie asks: and what should the reward be?
Cat ponders the situation.
Pixie says: i seem to think peat mentioned an idea to me once...
Pixie says: but i could be wrong
Cat asks: how about a new item in the pub in honor of them?
Pixie says: Ohhh
Darien grins evilly.
Pixie says: That'd be cool
Pixie says: I remember now
Cat says: they create it
Cat says: and we make
Pixie says: To get a card for free drinks from the pub, or something
like that.
Darien nods to Pixie solemnly.
Pixie says: Someone suggested that
Pixie says: I like Cat's idea.
Pixie asks: Anyone else have ideas?
Darien says: Cat's idea's great unless Peat wins (since he already
has a drink there) ;)
Cat grins evilly.
Cat says: then Peat can have the drink card
Cat grins evilly.
Darien says: if one of the littler people win it could mean an early
promotion, perhaps
Pixie says: So far we have two ideas: a) create a new drink, or b)
a free-drink card.
Cat says: oo, good idea
Darien says: give the accolyte's more of a reason to join in the TP,
yanno
Pixie says: So far we have three ideas: a) create a new drink, b)
a free-drink card, c) promotion
Pixie asks: How about if we had those three options given to them?
Cat asks: how about us non-winners come up with a good idea together
on how to celebrate that person's craftiness?
Pixie laughs.
Darien grins evilly.
Darien says: could also offer to let winner pick 2 items found to
keep, perhaps.. so if someone brings back keke's horns, the winner
could have them if desired.
*************************************************************************
At this point in time, there was a major disturbance in the world
or Ragnarok, in which means of having a meeting had to get a little
bit more creative. Here is the log of this, saved by Pixie:
*************************************************************************
Pixie: ok, the meeting is moving here ;)
Pixie: all in favor of giving the winner a option of picking one item
from this list, say aye. the list of rewards is: create a new drink
(if one has not been named after you already), a free drink card (with...X
amount of uses), a promotion (unless an officer, cause ya already
have a job), the choice of two items from the scavenger hunt
Pixie: cat and darien say ayte
Pixie: mud's up
Cram: sure
Pixie: the list of prizes was accepted
Darien: well, along those same lines, there's no rule against say
Quinn asking a big friend to help him out on the plot by getting the
horns for him, yes?
Pixie: right
Darien: so double points wouldn't really penalize so much as reward
littler folks for creative thinking ;)
Pixie: Who is in favor of double points for hard-to-get items?
Pixie: Who is in favor of allowing Darien to use her better judgement
to determine the points for all items, since she is creating the list?
Cram: Aye
Darien: as long as i have some sort of guideline (like what's the
max points a single item can grant)
Pixie: Ok, It is agreed that Darien will create a list, and that she
will give points for items. There will be a list of possible prizes,
which will be announced in advance.
Darien: shall i put the prizes at the bottom of the item list, perhaps?
Pixie: Pixie will guide Darien, as needed. :)
Pixie: I was thinking that we should make an announcement in advance...the
prizes can be listed in the announcement AND on the item list
Darien: and everyone should mudmail darien with suggested items for
the list1
Darien: so as not to force pixie and darien to create the entire thing
themselves;)
Pixie: and that can be in the announcement
Pixie: Is there anything else regarding the TP?
Pixie: The rest of the details will be finalized by Pixie and Darien,
and watch the board for announcement regarding the TP,w hich will
take place Saturday, May 24th. Make sure to mudmail ideas of items
to Darien ASAP.
Pixie: There is one more piece of business I'd like to bring up before
putting this meeting on hold, considering we are using ICQ. ;)
Pixie: How about if we change the entrance to the pub to be east,
and the exit to be west, so that we can catch people runnin from Luuv...whatever
it's called now?
Pixie: Any discussion?
Haelix: May 24 weekend is a big one in Canada, I might not be around.
Haelix: It's a long weekend.
Cat: eh, how many hits are we getting?
Darien: good idea.
Pixie: First thing, do we need to change the TP, so Haelix can be
there?
Darien: the pub's actually doing fairly decently at selling the newer
items (peat's wicked ale, gogo juice and mango madness) i also had
to restock firebreather's *boggle* the other day ;)
Darien: Um, does he have another day to suggest?
Haelix: not really. I might be around, but I can't guarantee anything.
Cat: unless he has a better idea on when everyone can make it, then
he'll just have to wait for the next one. we can't always accomidate
everyone in the clan. it just happens
Haelix: Weeknights are the best bet for me, but not for everyone else,
so yeah, what cat said.
Pixie: OK, TP will stay May 24th. Moving on to how the clan is doing...
Cat: well then if he wants to make an appearance, he can, if not,
then we'll carry on
Pixie: er, clan pub
Pixie: My hope is that by changing the entrance, we can get even more
people in there. Moving it got us more customers, so I just want to
see what else we can do to increase sales.
Pixie: Any further discussion on it? (noticing a lacking of response)
;)
Haelix: Start using the cards.
Darien: we need to decide how much of a discount to give, and who
can give out cards (and to whom)
Darien: well, that and i need to figure out how to make the stupid
things, but yanno
Pixie: Actually, let me respond to that. We had determined in the
past how much to use for cards. 30% for members...unlimited card.
Others would get 20% discount, with 5 uses. Additionally, I'd like
to state that discussion of the cards and getting that started was
on the agenda, but I was thinking we'd want to cut the meeting short,
because of Rag crashing.
Haelix: I made a couple cards the other day.
Pixie: First, can we decide on the entrance, and then discuss the
cards? Or can we put the cards on hold until Rag is feeling better?
Haelix: It's easy, just try.
Haelix: Entrance is fine.
Darien: aye on both (entrance changing, and cards on hold)
Pixie: Cat? Do you approve of changing the entrance?
Cat: i think it's fine right no
Cat: back up btw
Pixie: I don't know how to respond. Except to say that my reasoning
was to just see if we could catch more random people. Not necessarily
saying that the current entrance is bad...just that I was wondering
if it would improve at all. Basically, I'm stealing a tactic from
Ironfist. I know they aren't our best friends in teh world, but sometimes
they've got good ideas.
Pixie: BUT, we are not going to have 'out' as teh exit, because we
aren't as evil as IF ;)
Cat: true
Haelix: Whatever, I think the Bachannals do fine and they have enter
and exit
Darien: *notes that the amazon pub entrance is a north/south deal
also*
Pixie: You'll also note that Bachannal's got freaking cheap drinks,
and doesn't necessarily make a proffit
Darien: Bachannals also LOSE money on every single one of their drinks.
we can't reasonably compete with them
Haelix: Well, that's what real company's do. Make cheap drinks, and
then gradually increase prices.
Darien: also note, we only make .maybe. 45 coins per drink.. will
be a lot less when we put cards in.
Pixie: Which means we want more tactics to get people in the door.
;)
Pixie: OK, that puts 3 members as voting for the change in directions
for the entrance. Darien, can you make that change?
Pixie: OK, that puts 3 members as voting for the change in directions
for the entrance. Darien, can you make that change?
Haelix: I vote no
Pixie: no??
Pixie: you voted yes earlier!
Haelix: No I didn't.
Pixie: You said: Haelix: Entrance is fine.
Pixie: OK, I assuemd you meant that changing the entrance was fine
Pixie: did you mean that the entrance was fine as is?
Haelix: fine the way it is. Yeah.
Pixie: I appologize for the misunderstanding.
Haelix: No probs.
Pixie: OK, so far, here's how the votes go: Darien is for the change,
Cat is for the change, Haelix is against, Peat is idle, and I'm not
voting, because I'm the president. DArien has asked why Haelix is
against changing it. If you want to continue to discuss this, we can.
If not, we will end the discussion here, and I will put it on next
months agenda.
Darien: I'd say add it to next month's agenda. in the meantime I'll
find out what needs to be done .if. we vote to change it.
Pixie: We will put this on hold until next month, where it can be
discussed further, and hopefully with more members present. Until
then, the meeting is adjurned. Expect to be questioned regarding a
time for our next meeting, sometime in early June.

*************************************************************************
Pixie says: OK, welcome all to our meeting.
Pixie says: First order of business is that we need a clan second.
Pixie says: Unfortunately, I don't know who to be our second.
Pixie asks: Any ideas?
Peat says: well from the looks of it, only Haelix and I are in the
running.
Peat says: as we're the only ones around, ever.
Pixie says: But you each have an important job.
Haelix asks: Cat?
Pixie says: Cat is who I've been thinking about, but haven't had a
chance to talk to her.
Peat nods solemnly.
Pixie says: She and Darien are the only two doubled up on a level
(the apothacary or whatever it is)
Peat nods solemnly.
Pixie says: and I get the impression Darien would probably NOT want
to be second.
Pixie says: Which just leaves Cat.
Pixie says: Treefish has been around, but I don't feel comfortable
appointing him as second. He wasn't around for a lot of time.
Pixie says: And Jebu hasn't really been around since he was admitted
into the clan.
Pixie says: But we NEED a second.
Peat says: well, when you think of how little Catain did, Cat not
being around a whole lot shouldn't make much of a difference.
Pixie asks: So, shall we present the idea to her, and beg her lots?
Peat nods solemnly.
Pixie asks: Haelix, do you agree?
Peat says: Sounds like a plan
Haelix says: Sounds good to me.
Pixie says: Second on the agenda.
Pixie says: Membership
Haelix nods solemnly.
Haelix says: Frankly, I think the clan is on rough footing right now.
Pixie says: I have had one request for membership in the past month:
Suzaku.
Pixie asks: Has anyone else requested?
Haelix says: Not to me.
Peat says: not to me either.
Pixie says: Regarding Suzaku...
***The clan members
discussed in private the admittance of Suzaku.***
***The present clan members decided to admit Suzaku to the clan. ***
******************************************************************************
Haelix asks: With respect to helping people, are we the "good"
clan?
Pixie says: Well, we don't have to be 'good' but we have accidentally
got that wrap.
Pixie snickers.
Haelix says: Yeah, well I think it's hurting us, because no one knows
what we're supposed to be.
Pixie says: The idea is that it doesn't matter what our alignment
is, but we do help.
Pixie says: And people who help tend to be 'good' people.
Haelix says: To help, means to be good.
Haelix says: Evil people don't help, unless, cowed into it by fear,
or to work to their own plans.
Pixie says: But officially, you don't have to have a 'good' alignment.
Peat says: Well, there's nothing wrong with having a hidden agenda
Pixie says: Good point. You help someone, so that you can get stuff
out of them.
Peat nods solemnly.
Pixie says: Granted, I think that's what Ironfist does.
Haelix says: Exactly.
Peat nods solemnly.
Haelix says: And I'm not going to help a newbie and expect to get
10K gold...
Peat says: See, we need a true "good" clan, to take some
of the heat off of us.
Peat says: and I'm not one to start it
Pixie nods solemnly.
Haelix says: I think that we should become the good clan...
Haelix says: If anything...
Haelix says: Because I don't see a new clan starting any time soon.
Pixie says: Well...one thing is that we've gone from being a 'healing'
clan to being the 'helping' clan to being the 'good' clan
Pixie says: I have kind of taken the stress off the healing, and put
it more on helping.
Pixie says: But officially we are for healing.
Peat says: I didn't join cuz I wanted to be a do-gooder per se.
Peat says: Cuz as often as not, my alignment is negative.
Peat says: I joined because I like to heal people.
Peat says: Have from day one.
Pixie says: Yeah...that's what the clan is supposed to be about.
Peat says: During my 6-month stint at level 19 the first time around,
all I did was heal.
Haelix says: Well, then we need to take desperate measures to correct
our image, or we need to enforce a stronger code of conduct.
Pixie asks: What do you suggest?
Haelix says: Like doing something healers would do, but goody's wouldn't.
Pixie asks: Example?
Haelix says: I was hoping you guys might have some.
Pixie says: Go and heal a monster instead of the player...
Peat says: heh heh heh
Haelix says: The NPC crusade.
Pixie says: But that...you gotta make sure it's ok with the player.
;)
Pixie says: There we go.
Pixie says: We can have a clan event.
Haelix says: I don't know.
Pixie says: Where we go around healing NPC's.
Haelix asks: Do you have to check with a player?
Pixie says: Well, if you are going to keep doing it so that it's almost
dangerous to the player, you would.
Haelix says: It's not dangerous.
Pixie says: But if we just randomly went around, looking for popular
NPC's, and healed them...
Pixie says: I wonder...they could probably get extra experience for
it.
Haelix says: The problem is, that will not foster good recruiting
relations.
Haelix says: People will think we're annoying as sin.
Pixie says: Well, if we only did it once...
Haelix says: ...we wouldn't get a broad enough message across.
Pixie says: We could get the Bacc's in it...cause they'd love a stunt
like that.
Pixie says: It could be one thing we did in a list of things.
Pixie says: Do that one day, do something else another day.
Pixie says: I don't know.
Haelix says: Then we have to come up with a list.
Pixie says: How about...
Pixie says: ...if we come up with a list of things to do for recruitment
Pixie asks: and that could just go on that list?
Pixie says: Just to get our name out.
Haelix says: We could do something simpler.
Haelix says: Like ally with Ironfist in some event.
Pixie sighs deeply.
Pixie says: I've been trying to convince Gypsie that we could be good
allies for months.
Pixie says: It wasn't working.
Haelix asks: Really, why not?
Pixie says: Because they don't want to work with people.
Pixie says: I talked to him in private regarding it...months ago.
Pixie says: When Alien was still in charge.
Haelix looks at Peat.
Haelix says: What's your take.
Haelix asks: Peat?
Pixie says: I pointing out to him that we could help them to become
stronger.
Haelix says: That makes us seem in servitude to them.
Pixie says: I can present it to him again.
Haelix says: I think we need to talk to X about those events he wanted
to start.
Pixie says: Well, that was my way of trying to convince him to work
with us.
Pixie says: Well, a Clan Conclave should be happening soon.
Haelix says: We need an event in the RPworld of Rag such that we can
take the same stance on it.
Pixie says: Dracos is also interested in having something where Ironfist
and It-uile work together.
Pixie says: Well, when we have that conclave, I can keep this in mind
and lobby for it. :)
Haelix says: X kinda invited me as well.
Pixie says: Cool.
Peat says: I think we should lobby for someone to start a clan to
truly oppose IronFist
Peat says: That would free us to ally with whomever we see fit.
Haelix says: Right.
Haelix says: But for now, we need to correct our image.
Peat says: We're in a good position to play the mercenary clan.
Peat says: "We heal whomever we choose."
Haelix says: So is Dracos' clan.
Peat nods solemnly.
Haelix says: The problem is that we can't all be mercenaries.
Peat nods solemnly.
Pixie says: Well, we could strengthen our dislike of necros...'attack'
them more
Pixie says: Maybe I should make sure more people know I'm engaged
to #3 in Ironfist?
Haelix shrugs.
Haelix says: Here's my final say:
Haelix takes a deep breath.
Haelix says: We're taking the hard road right now, by trying to go
mercenary, it won't have a simple short term solution. Hence, we need
to support Ironfist in an upcoming event, and we need a new clan to
fill the void of goodness. hence, we should lobby for those 2 things
at the conclave.
Pixie says: Sounds good.
Haelix asks: Sounds good to you Peat?
Peat says: Very nice.
******************************************************************************
Pixie says: Next
Pixie says: How to get members.
Pixie says: We discussed promotional items.
Pixie says: I don't know if y'all have visited the stockroom behind
the pub in town.
Haelix says: yes.
Pixie says: There is now a machine to make discount cards for the
clan pubs.
Peat nods solemnly.
Peat says: hmm
Pixie says: I think we should jump up and discuss this.
Pixie asks: One thing is: how much should we discount for members?
how much to discount for players?
Pixie says: Oh...those discount cards are not ready to be given out
yet, but the machine is there for us to try to break.
Peat nods solemnly.
Pixie says: I did not want to be the one to decide how much discount,
etc.
Haelix says: Members can get 40% off, whomever we give them out to
can be 20%
Pixie says: We can put directions to the pub on the card.
Pixie says: There would be two different kinds of cards then.
Pixie says: Which is fine.
Peat says: Question.
Pixie says: We can limit the number
Pixie says: It can be single, a number, or unlimited
Pixie asks: 40% for members, 20% for others?
Pixie asks: unlimited for members, 5 drinks for others?
Pixie says: (just something to throw out and discuss)
Haelix says: Then make members 30...
Haelix says: And sounds good.
Pixie says: 30/unlimited
Pixie says: 20/5 uses
******************************************************************************
Peat asks: Who the hell's idea was it to put the pub under the sea?
Pixie says: Alien.
Peat says: Brilliant.
Pixie says: Actually, THIS was supposed to be the pub.
Pixie says: And that was supposed to be the clan hall.
Peat says: And what happened?
Pixie says: should we jump up on the agenda to 'location of the pub'
Pixie asks: shall we discuss the location?
Haelix says: We should ask X if that can be changed...
Pixie says: I see there to be three options: a) leave it where it
is and just promote it there. b) ask to see if we can move it. c)
leave it where it is, promote it, AND start a second one in a better
location.
Pixie says: I talked to Dondalus and he votes for b or c, more on
b
Peat says: b
Haelix says: b
Pixie says: Sweet
Pixie asks: And if we can't move it, then go for C?
Peat says: But before asking if we can move it, we should have an
alternate location in mind
Pixie says: That was next question.
Pixie asks: Where do we want it?
Haelix asks: Somewhere on Loki's lane...?
Haelix asks: Bel has a place there, but it can be a strip.
Pixie asks: eh?
Peat ponders the situation.
Pixie says: We could ask about having it at the jetty...so that it's
almost the same place...just without the swimming.
Pixie says: I want it on a main road.
Haelix asks: Why not ask to have it beside Targon?
Haelix smirks.
Haelix chuckles politely.
Pixie says: That'd be nice.
Pixie says: But there's a pub near there.
Pixie says: I kinda wanna leave the meeting room and go look around...
Pixie says: So, I'm not going on memory.
Haelix says: We could just put it in the sea.
Haelix says: On the way to Luuv.
Peat says: What's with the whole sea motif, anyway?
Haelix says: People always take the shortcut.
Peat says: Well yeh, rather than wait for the damn boat and pay.
Pixie says: Ummm.
Pixie says: I don't even know HOW to take the boat ;)
Pixie says: Sea motif goes along with the fact that alien started
the clan as a healing clan.
Peat says: and?
Pixie says: He had reasons...but his mind works differently than most,
and so we just have no way of knowing why...unless we ask him.
Haelix asks: So, anyway, that's our suggested location?
Pixie asks: in the sea on the way to luuv?
Haelix nods solemnly.
Pixie asks: if not that, loki's lane?
Pixie asks: we in agreement?
Haelix says: If not switch the bar and hall.
Peat nods solemnly.
Haelix says: Yes.
******************************************************************************
Pixie says: moving on
Pixie says: how to get more members
Pixie says: we're going to periodically hand out discount cards
Haelix says: Free stuff.
Pixie says: i say go get healing items and offer them for free
Pixie says: You agree about healing items (ring, cross/ankh, etc)?
could even do food/drinks/weed.
Pixie says: That way it's still in line with what we stand for.
Haelix says: The thing is people are just going to try and take advantage
of us.
Pixie says: Well, if you KNOW they aren't interested, don't bother
with them.
*** Jebu Enters.
***
Pixie says: Just
offer to those who have healing spells/skills.
Pixie says: Especially newbies.
Pixie says: They ARE our future.
Pixie says: Jebu, we're discussing how to get more members. Right
now, we're talking about offering free things.
Haelix asks: Any other ideas?
Pixie asks: So we agree to go and give out healing things?
Haelix says: I think we need more people to be vocal.
Haelix points to Peat and himself.
Pixie nods solemnly.
******************************************************************************
Pixie says: That brings up roleplaying.
Pixie says: People should make a point of roleplaying occationally.
Peat says: occasionally is about as often as i'm willing to roleplay
Pixie says: Kill something, then point it out on RP as being something
for It-uile (killing a ghost to release it's spirit)
Haelix says: I mostly don't have the time, and if I do, it's late
at night, and no one is around.
Pixie says: Well, it shouldn't be 24/7
Pixie says: This article about hosting a clan event
Peat says: hey
I'm the one here with a Jed tattoo. :P
Pixie says: those are the kinds of things to do to promote us in regular
game play
Pixie goes 'Woo woo!'
Pixie says: well, show it off more often.
Pixie winks.
Peat moons the room.
Pixie fears.
Haelix laughs out loud.
Pixie says: Moving on.
Jebu grumbles unhappily.
Haelix says: What a little green ass.
Pixie asks: Any other ideas for getting more members?
Peat snickers at Haelix.
******************************************************************************
Haelix says: Not off the top of my head.
Pixie says: ok, moving on
Pixie says: in 5 seconds
Haelix checks his watch.
Pixie says: Granted, now we're about on announcement stuff.
*** Treefish
enters ***
Pixie says: www.geocities.com/ituile_clan/articles
Pixie says: Look at articles.
Pixie says: Read articles.
Pixie says: Apply what they say.
Pixie says: Write more articles.
Pixie says: Speaking of writing things...
Pixie says: We need something for 'help clans' and something for 'help
it-uile'.
Haelix says: I think the clan promoter should take care of it...
Pixie asks: Am I going to be held responsible for writing these help
files? Or can I get some help with it?
Haelix asks: What sort of help?
Pixie says: I don't want to just pawn help it-uile off on one person
Pixie says: but maybe if we thought about what all we wanted on it
Pixie asks: and if people could volunteer to write parts of it?
Pixie says: ok, lemme show you what elwing said
Pixie says: 'help clans': This can be as long if you wish. It would
be the main file players go to to see general information about clans
and their goals. Remember that most people
Pixie says: 'help clanname': Go hog wild. Someone is actually really
interested to seek out this file, so give them all the info you wish.
This file should also contain contact info, which can be updated upon
request.
Pixie says: Remember that most people's eyes glaze after a page or
so, so keep it concise if possible. (that was at the end of the 'help
clans' thing)
Pixie says: I don't necessarily want to write these tonight, but maybe
if we could come up with sections for hte help it-uile, and then i
could post those sections on the clanboard
Pixie says: and if everyone volunteered to write one part, that would
be nice
Pixie says: and then help clans could be taken from that
Pixie says: and shortened up
Haelix asks: What part you want me to write about?
Pixie says: I dont know
Pixie asks: can we figure out what the parts should be first?
Haelix says: Well, work up an outline, and delegate.
Pixie says: let's outline now
Pixie says: 1) mission
Pixie says: 2) membership requirements
Pixie says: 3) what to do if you want to join
Pixie says: 4) what we do
Pixie asks: ideas? additions, subtractions?
Haelix says: Look at the other clans.
Haelix says: See what they have.
Pixie says: synopsis, who's who, requirements, benefits, webpage/newspaper,
Pixie says: that's ironfist
Pixie says: history, who, requirements, joining on amazons
Haelix asks: Any comments Jebu?
Pixie takes a deep breath.
Pixie says: who we are, history, who can join, membership requirements,
how to find a sponsor, costs of membership, general rules of conduct,
further notes on intoxication, other member guidelines, punishment
for violations, for more info on bacc
Pixie asks: who knows the true history of the clan? anyone?
Jebu scratches his head.
Haelix asks: You?
Pixie says: not exactly
Pixie says: i'd have to go and interview alien in detail
Pixie says: but that might be an option
Pixie says: 1) who we are
Pixie says: 2) history of hte clan
Pixie says: 3) requirements
Pixie says: 4) what we do
Pixie says: 5) how to join
Pixie says: 6) contact info/website
Pixie says: screw it, i'll find the time and i'll write it
Pixie says: just don't be surprised if i'm showing it to people to
get their opinions
Pixie says: some of it i have already
Pixie asks: any recommendations by you guys for it?
Haelix shakes his head.
******************************************************************************
Pixie says: finally
Pixie says: last thing
Pixie says: descriptions for the website
Pixie says: here is my idea
Pixie says: I create a list of questions. Everyone receieves said
list of questions. They are to answer as much as is applicable to
them, that they feel comfortable answering.
Pixie says: I put said list of questions and answers on the website.
Pixie says: People can either just leave it as a list of questions
and answers, or they can write a narrative.
Pixie says: Everyone would need to do this to be promoted in the clan.
Haelix says: Fine with me.
Pixie says: Meaning: If you just got invited into the clan, you stay
as an acolyte until you send that in. Then you can be promoted.
Pixie says: Or if you are junior journeyman, then you must do it before
you can get promoted higher
Pixie says: but no one loses ground because of not doing it...just
that they can't be promoted
Haelix says: Adjourned.

March
26, 2003:
I'm in a bit of a hurry, so please excuse spelling mistakes. Following
the memorial services, which were rudely interrupted by the members
of IronFist (Note that log will be posted later.) There was a brief
meeting of a few members of It-Uile. The following topics were covered:
-In the absence
of the current leaders of It-Uile, including Alien, Catain, and Path,
it has been decided that Pixie shall be the new Phoenix of the clan,
and she was appointed so.
-It was noted
that Clanmaster X has followed our banished leader's wishes, and deposited
Alien's bank account into the clan's. It was decided, that the majority
of Alien's equipment would be sold, except his Sanguine which would
be given over to the clan as a memento of his leadership.
-As her first
order of business Pixie suggested that clan members submit bios. No
member would be allowed advancement until a bio has been submitted.
This suggestion has not been discussed among the clan, and has not
be finalized yet.
-A note was made
that a campaign to recruit members should be undertaken, including
the distribution of free goods to promote the clan. This matter will
bear further discussion at the next meeting.
Since, the official
log was misplaced, I might have forgotten a matter of lesser import
from the meeting. If anyone who was in attendance remembers the item,
please post it here.
Good Evening,
Haelix, clan Troubadour.

February
23, 2003: Members
present: Alien, Catain, Cat, Darien, Peat, Pixie, Dondalus.
The prospective
members mentioned at the last meeting were once again discussed. Based
on the fact that they were not acting like true It-uile members and
one was a member of another clan, it was agreed that they would not
be invited.
It was announced
that the website was updated and requests for more info for the website
was given.
Alien brought
up the Guardians. They have currently been on strike and when they
have been available, they have been rather wimpy. Alien added that
he would continue the deliberations with the Guardian Union in hopes
that a new contract would be created soon and they would return to
work. Additionally, a generous donation was made by Dracos after he
killed the guardians and looted from the clan. The clan has agreed
not to hold any hard feelings against him, based upon his generous
donation.
The idea of a
clan motd (message of the day) was discussed. Several members gave
input with their ideas of what they might be interested in and it
was agreed that Darien would present it to the Wizards. She also agreed
to inform the Amazon Clan of our ideas to see if they were interested
in the feature.
The topic of
new members was once again mentioned. Jebu and Behemoth both requested
to join It-uile. Considering the fact that Behemoth died, we assumed
he was no longer interested. Jebu, on the other hand, proved worthwhile,
and it was agreed that he be invited into the clan after the meeting.
Finally Dondalus
decided to bless the clan with his presence. All took a moment to
thank him for taking time out of his busy schedule to join the meeting.
Raids and nonviolent
social events were discussed. It was agreed by all that an event needed
to be planned. An ice-cream social and the vernal equinox were both
discussed. It was agreed that Peat would be put in charge of planning
an event.
Considering it
was past the bedtime of most every clan member, the meeting was adjourned.
Submitted by,
Pixie, who was
kind enough to log the meeting

January
18, 2003: Members
present: Alien, Cat, Darien, Peat, Pixie, Dondalus.
Prospective members
was the first order of business. It was determined that several interested
adventurers needed to work on their healing skills and would be further
discussed at a later date.
The website was
another hot topic. Pictures and biographies were requested by Pixie.
Additional suggestions for the site were also requested. Having the
clan website announced on the public boards requested.
It was agreed
that a social gathering was needed, and ice-cream would be the main
entree. Said gathering would be part of the upcoming membership drive.
Promotions for
Pixie and Peat were discussed and approved. Pixie to Senior Journeyman,
and Peat to Masterhealer.
After a few minutes
of chitter-chatter about how Ironfist is the worst clan ever, the
meeting was adjourned.

Pixie, the logger
