Ok it has now been a little while since our last meeting. And some of the issues that were resolved there are now unresolved due to circumstance (Damn you Shadowshank! ). So I am proposing a guild meeting be held Friday September 10th (don't want it on Labor Day weekend, people too busy and not Saturday because to us American's September 11th has too many negatives associated to it). Traditionally our meetings are at Midnight EST and that probably will be when this one will be at BSI. Issues: Curse of the Master Title: For those of you newer members, there was some contention over what the master would be...and finally it was decided that the title master would be given to someone, who's primary duties are administrative, the two biggest being that A)they would bump all members to Officer (so that everyone can invite) and B) Discipline if ever necessary. Well when we were writing up the bylaws we made a neutral character RPAadmin...a character created by Shadowshank to administrate the guild until permanent Masters were elected. Elections were held and Jwiz Cephius Kyrinn and I were elected...However...Shadowshank had some real life issues...that have kept him from logging on...hence the rightful masters cannot currently be bumped up and members cannot be bumped to officer (where they should be) The irony is that we came up with this system, specifically to avoid this problem...Anyhow the only way I see to implement the charter barring Shadowshank's sudden unexpected appearance is to reform the guild. 2. I would like to see a designated event night. We have been having fun getting together as we have (like on friday for Merr, Rhabuka, Sly, and I) but if we can come up with a time like (2nd and 4th Friday of each month or something) I think it would be great. (Please post any issues you would like discussed at the next meeting and please weigh in of this time isn't good for you. Thanks)

(Blast it, why does the guild have to reform again! Waaa, now I am going to have to hook up with you guys again in a who knows how long. ::sighs::: Why me...:: Lol, good luck with the reformation. At least this time we know it will be better, because you will automatically form it with 4 masters. I hope I can rejoin soon, but I think that will be a while. Alas, what can you do.

kk only half know whats up, but if we have to reform guild ok, i be there for sure, i like the current way of things. no worries no hassles, i like the way we have brought boards into game and game into boards. and if we need to do votes to elect ppls as the whatchamacallits then ok im with that too. but, by no means no how do i want to be a whatchamacallit. i would do it if i had to but too much responsiblity, i hated being master of my former guild ( i had to be bad guy in guild ) anyways, i am easy goin, i will agree to almost anything...lol...( oh and btw for some of us canadians 9-11 is tough too, not as tough as on the americans but still tough, no newspapers or the news is broadcasted in our home now due to it) anyways, umm what was i getting at...lol...ok nvm, you get my idea...i hope, sry abit fuzzy headed today, too many sl goin thru my head, will have to sit down and start writing again..lol

Well, unfortunately in the case of a game, I honestly can't say that I could have easily trounced all over a certain person's feelings, just not my nature. However, with how that person acted obviously they showed some sociopathic tendencies. Anyway, third time is the charm as they say...and this time I guarantee will be the last! One last thing Damn you Kyrinn!!!! LOL the worst part is that I sent Shadow an email offering to buy him a gamecard...but if he lost internet access (he hasn't responded to my emails) then all the game cards in the world won't help...

I know Fridays don't work well for Kyrinn... and with regards to the date as of midnight it will be September 12th anywho. I'm suggesting that as an alternative date.
No response from Shadowshank on my end too, a shame as he would have had such a nice rogue rare for finishing the quest he and Faethe were working on.

Something I'd like discussed: The "New Hire" Process Now that we've been around a while, I've noticed the mixed results we've had with this. It's probably normal for every guild. I have a few ideas. I'd like to suggest that perhaps before a person joins the RPA, they should check out our website. I see two downsides to this: (1) some people don't have internet access and (2) some people might not want to bother and then we would lose them. As time goes on, I've seen this thing evolve to the point where you really need to check out the webpage to stay fully involved. This is where a lot of the storylines get fleshed out. This is where you can learn about people's characters. I think people miss out on a lot if they don't come here. On the good side, it would show real interest if people came back after checking out the webpage. Anyway, I'd like to discuss this process at the meeting. I still like the idea of making everyone else officers for ease of invites. I think there should be a waiting period for new folks to become promoted to officers. Also, please make sure the people you invite are of decent moral character, are not griefers, etc. (i.e., people that would violate our guild by-laws). It doesn't reflect well on you or on the guild if you invite people like that. Anyway, gotta get ready for work

OK We will have the RPA Meeting at 12Midnite Saturday September 11th. BTW these boards have a calendar feature. I think it can be very useful I will post there and I will send an in game mail to all the current members. Like I said if we reform (most likely) I think we should just put an apostrophe make it Roleplayer's Association. That way -nonrpers won't even notice.
