Gargish Dragon: First, I would liek to welcome Jaymes and Verminaard of Minoc Maybe you could introduce your organziation, Sir Jaymes?
Jaymes: Some of the YM know us for those of u who dont we are the Minoc Guard very similar to the malitia in many respectswe have had ties with the malitia for quite sometime and would be honored to be formally alliedwith the YM We are hoping also to get a minoc council started and unite it with Yew's that is a long term goal that's about the core of it Pleased to meet all of you i donnot already know
Gargish Dragon: Thank you, Jaymes. I am glad that some citizens of Minoc have formed an organization to protect the citizens of Minoc and I would like to have our council
Jaymes: Aye it has been a long time coming
Gargish Dragon: give them all the help they need Our Militia could train with them and work with them So we were thinking about a formal alliance
Jaymes: we would consider it an honor
Gargish Dragon: I want to hear the opinions of the Council if such an alliance would be accepted by the citizens of Yew So I would like to hear your opinions now.
Pyros:*raises hand*
Gargish Dragon: Yes, Pyros?
Pyros: It sounds like a good idea. Evantualy we may be able to set up similar councils in all the cities along with a defence militia Pyros: this will go a long way to curbing the criminal activity
Jaymes: aye that is what we hope shall eventually happen
Pyros: That's my opinion on the matter
goltuc: how will it help with criminal activity?
Gargish Dragon: Thank you, Pyros
Laein Simorian: *raises hand*
Gargish Dragon: Aye, Lady Simorian?
- Gargish Dragon says Aye, Lady Simorian?
Laein Simorian: i think it would be a great idea i would be willing to help out with the idea
Jaymes: We have a real life friend who is a malitia member as well
Gargish Dragon: Thank you Are there other comments?
goltuc: what respnsibilities are going to have?
Gargish Dragon: The Miltias will offer help in case of larger operations
goltuc: i'm all for that and helping curb crime
Dyluck Blade: So, by cutting back on crime. Does that mean less treason?
Khinrit: no
Gargish Dragon: As for treason.. I think we have the means to deal with that
Pyros: *hand*
Gargish Dragon: Pyros? Pyros: Since we seem to have brought up the topic of Malicite I'd like to ask for a slightly lower sentence, since his crime was not very I have a suggestion if your interested. Instead of Death, perhaps a comple siezure of all assets, both on him and in the bank along with a 5000 gc fine payable to either Yew or the militia
Dyluck Blade: He said lets not kill mal
Gargish Dragon: As with averting death penalty, I have the right to pardon
Khinrit: lets take a vote
Dunedain: we beseech you to parrdon Mal
Pyros: additionaly he is banned from recieving aid from anyone for 1 week and he is demoted to private
Fiditus: reduction of rank
Pyros: this can further be augment by a time in the prison
Gargish Dragon: Bzt there must be good reason for me to do that And I dont see that reason unless new evidence is brought before me
goltuc: i will not stop aid to anyone in need
Pyros: Well it seems Death is a high price to pay for a simple jail brake I'm not saying give him a full parden, but death seems to be the answer for everythin
Gargish Dragon: that he did not act on his own intent and willingly We must consider that every military organization must be able to rely utterly on each of its members
Pyros: indeed so we should court martial him, not kill him
Gargish Dragon: if that is not the case our whole civilization is at stake.
Dyluck Blade: Civilization left a long time ago
Gargish Dragon: The death of hundreds could follow Thank you
Khinrit: yes by saying they commited treason
goltuc: what did he do
Dyluck Blade: He freed another prisoner
Pyros: mal broke Kail out of prison when Kail was under an OES curse
Dunedain: this issue has the community deeply devided
Khinrit: and kails not under it anymore so what the problem
Pyros: the problem is that mal broke the law
Fiditus: Aye
Dunedain: the punishment does seem excessive
Pyros: but I think death is a steep price to pay so such a minor crime
Gangrel: at one point in time, we've all broken the law
Dyluck Blade: Fid you're a scoundrel, did that happen through good deeds?
Fiditus: its not a minor crime
Khinrit: what is the law in this great wilderness of monsters and adventurerd
goltuc: were there any deaths involved?
Dyluck Blade: Nope no death
Wolfen: *hand*
goltuc: i did not hear the answer
Pyros: tok where we were
Wolfen: order and obtaining the law is all we have if the law is not kept then anarchey will follow
Dyluck Blade: If it is anarchy will follow
Wolfen: death is a steap price but f the people dont learn now then they will never learn
Khinrit: this is anarchy
Pyros: but should death be the answer for everything
Khinrit: we only lesten to what our guild masters and others force us to do
Thrawn: if somebody were ablt to produce some evidence then perhaps a pardon would be in order
Wolfen: and all will ecpect special tratment expect
Thrawn: prooving Malicite was not responsible for his actions
Pyros: we're not offering special tratment
Fiditus: There is no evidence He acted on his own free will
Windlord: *hand*
Wolfen: but there i no evidence that he didnt
Windlord: Would the council consider a stay in order to obtain such proof?
Fiditus: Yes he did, I was there, you where not
Pyros: it doesn't matter if he was thinking clearly.
Dyluck Blade: *nods head to Dunedain*
Pyros: the question is, should he be put to death becuase of a jail break
Dyluck Blade: Of course, kill em all
Wolfen: didnt he also attack officers?
Fiditus: Sentence was passed, the trial was ended
Pyros: yes he did, but the charge is on the jail break not assualt
Fiditus: Or do you doubt Thrawn?
Fiditus: ?!?
Wolfen: the trial is over sentence was dictated and passed
Khinrit says someone will be mals champion and someone will oppose and who ever wins decides mals fait Fiditus: He assulted me and half the militia when we went to moonglow to apprehend him
Khinrit: you deserve it any would have done the same
Pyros: but he was never charged on it he was charged on the jaiol break
Wolfen: i wouldve just ran not attacked
Khinrit says you came at him with a linch mod
Fiditus: The OES was there to openly aid him
Windlord: To aid or to control?
Khinrit: i woulda tried to kill you too if you came at me like that
Pyros: so we kill him for have associations with OES? we should court martial him for that
Wolfen: what do you say Sir Gargish?
Fiditus: This is a moot point
Wolfen: Gargish what does thou say and decide?
Amalek: Friends I believe someone has been trying to influence the results of the trial in his attemptand has succeeded
Gargish Dragon: I am waiting for some sort of evidence
Pyros: Dragon we know he did it, but does the punishment fit the crime?
Wolfen: so your saying none has been provided and we are here to keep the law
Khinrit says you keep it like a theif
Dyluck Blade: Since no efidence has been provided, and the militia wants Mal dead How bout one of you kill him
Dunedain: kill everyone who breaks the law and it will be a lonelyh place
Gargish Dragon: Amalek, this is an interesting idea
Dyluck Blade: You arent militia
Amalek: Hmmm? I won't name names, but a sinister force is at work in Yew's affairs...
Wolfen: Gargish what does thou pronounce
Khinrit: let do this by a trial by force
Gargish Dragon: But what does that mean? How would our honorable Chief Justce be influenced?
Khinrit: each side picks champion and they duke it out
Amalek: It is along the lines of the affliction Kail and I have been suffering But it is an unknown enemy Not who everyone thinks it is...
Thrawn: well, to be honest, I did feel a bit woozy at the time...
Dyluck Blade: Feeling a bit woozy? What does that mean? I feel woozy when I stand up to fast
Gargish Dragon: Woozy?
Slang: uncoordinated
Dyluck Blade: I also feel woozy when I have too much to drink. What kind of woozy
Thrawn: a bit clouded in the head I suppose... didn't really realize it until afterwards *shrugs*
Gargish Dragon: You mean during the trial, Chief Justice? or when reading the verdict?
Khinrit: mal must go free
Wolfen: dy if you will be alittle more respecful
Thrawn: hmm... I don't remember the details of the Trial all that well
Fiditus: It was an open and shut case
Gargish Dragon: Dear Chief Justice, this presents some totally new facts We sould definitely investigate this "woozyness" further
zenda: Aye investigate
Dyluck Blade: So, Mal will be in jail for what another month?
Fiditus: Better than death
Khinrit: that seems unfair
Thrawn: I did have a tasty meal left in my chambers before the Trial... didn't see who left it, I just assumed it was from the caterers *shrugs*
Rictar: May I suggest someone check the food for poison
Fiditus: And just how are you going to check it?
Gargish Dragon: I will announce my decision Until this new issue is resolved I order a stay on the execution of Malicite so that we have time to investigate this matter
Kail: *nods and sighs relief*
Priestess Althea: How can one trace a cad that tainted meat.. the evidence is gone..no?
Wolfen: i agree
Dyluck Blade: Question the caterers
SunWolf: It seems someone has placed that food there
Rictar: *raises Hand*
SunWolf: the rest was imprisoned that we thought were the only ones by evil deeds they are doi
Gargish Dragon: Silence..
Gargish Dragon: and yes, Rictar, please
Rictar: I would like to know what The Mayors oppinon on RK post is? about open elections
Gargish Dragon: Rictar, this was an issue I wanted to discuss soon This is on my agenda
Rictar: when your ready Mayor
Gargish Dragon: Let me just finish the first topic, which was the alliance with the Minoc Guards
Rictar: *nods*
Gargish Dragon: I want to have a vote now all for the alliance say "Aye"

Talon: Aye.
Dunedain: aye

Gargish Dragon: all against the alliance say "Nay"
Dyluck Blade: Oh sorry, nay
Khinrit: Nay
Gargish Dragon: So the mayority is for the alliance The formal ceremony will be held soon
Laein Simorian: *nods*
Gargish Dragon: But honestly, I wonder about the Nays.. and I would like to hear their opinons on this
Dyluck Blade: I've been to Minoc I find it filthy And rundown
Khinrit: we need not more men of law to muddy the affais of Yew
Jaymes: aye we donnot want anyone to feel uneasy about us
Jaymes: Aye sire you are very correct lol but we are working on that
Amalek: *chuckles*
Verminaard: aye sir... we are wanting to "clean it up: not ignore the probles
Dyluck Blade: I have no problem with MEG, but Id rather ally with a town that Had fixed its problem rather than was fixing
Khinrit: Aye
Dyluck Blade: Both towns need to work on their own problems. Then discuss a union
Jaymes: Understood sirs I understand that for one you donnot know us
Kieran Darkmire: There will always be problems, Dyluck. And if you hold out for when there will be none, it will never happen.
Trinity: yes
Jaymes: Sunwolf is a real life frind of mine has been for a good many years
Khinrit: but there is always room for improvement and improvement
Gargish Dragon: This alliance is not for regular involvement in the affairs of the other town both of us need
Jaymes: that is where our ties to yew began
Dyluck Blade: It reflects one town
Jaymes: meg are all trustworthy mature players
Dyluck Blade: If we ally with Bucs den then we are supportin it's state That would make no sense
Jaymes: there wont be any craziness
Khinrit: AYE
Dyluck Blade: If we ally with Minoc, then we show support for Minocs state
Verminaard: nay sir to ally with minoc shows you expect a change in the whole of the land not just 1 city
Jaymes: this alliance is symbolic of our joint struggle toward the same ultimate goal and also to give us a chance to lend help to YM and vice versa when needed nothing will change in eithger YM or MEG due to this alliance
Rictar: Before bashing Minoc look at Yew both towns need work
Dyluck Blade: Well, regardless of how I one man feels. The majority of people agree to it So, I say we ally
Gargish Dragon: I will assure you that we won't get Minoc's problems
Wolfen: aye ally
Gargish Dragon: just by having an alliance I will stand for that
Slang: and they shant get ours'
Khinrit: but if we look to the majority of guidence then mal should be a free man
Gargish Dragon: Alright.. I will move to the next topic then There was questions about elections
Rictar: Aye there was I am here on behalf of The Rainbow King and GreenHell
Gargish Dragon: I understand this, and I will agree to elections There is jsut the date to be decided on
Rictar: *nods*
Khinrit: i nominate silver
Gargish Dragon: We have discussed the election prodedures in an earlier meeting and they are still valid.
Khinrit: i was not here
Dyluck Blade: For those of us that missed that where can we find them?
Gargish Dragon: If I may remember you, last time elections were announced there were no candidates and thus the election had to be calnceled
Rictar: And will the town people be able to vote?
Gargish Dragon: All town people will be allowed to vote
Laein Simorian: *raises hand*
Gargish Dragon: Aye, Laein?
Laein Simorian: will you be running?
Gargish Dragon: I have not yet made a decision, Laein It depends on the support there is
Laein Simorian: *nods*
Rictar: Could it be possible to post proceddings on the website instead
Dyluck Blade: They are on the website
Rictar: of looking for old articals?
Windlord: I would support Gargish
Wolfen: ditto
Laein Simorian: aye me aswell
Dyluck Blade: Ill wait til I see the other people
Gargish Dragon: I can prepare the procedures in a separate documetn and post it there Any more questions?
Friar William: Can you explain my good Mayor Many people here are born aand raised in Yew Many people have moved on to different places Many people simply have strong ties to Yew How will you define who can vote in these elections?
Gargish Dragon: The citizens of Yew are defined as those living here, doing business in Yew and taking a general interest in the affairs of Yew
Friar William: And will these people be noted down in some sort of Register? Most towns know who their citizens are... I must admit I do not
Gargish Dragon: There is the Yew citizen registery it makes sense to require a registration. Does that answer your question?
Friar William: So you will be putting the Registry in order? Perhaps announce a general rigistration ?
Gargish Dragon: I will announce that the registration is necessary for voting and we will try to clean it up
Windlord: I would imagin Friar William's concerns stem from a fear of outside influences who do not have Yew's interest at heart influencing it's future
Gargish Dragon: I understand your concerns but we are an open community
Friar William: If I take a glance on our history it's not uncommun
Gargish Dragon: and citizenship in Yew is open
Friar William: My biggest concearn would be That an hour before the vote is closed A large party from outside would attempt to shift the elections Atleast with a registration there are no surprises
Gargish Dragon: The elections will be tallied by a person, of course
Windlord: I am confident that support in Yew is strong enough to counter any milicious attempts to hijack the council
Khinrit: how about let origin do it as an online poll on their site
Dyluck Blade: There are always surprises
Pyros: with online poles you can often vote multiple times
Gargish Dragon: There will be no online poll Voting will be done in person
Pyros: having a person do it will avoid this problem
Dyluck Blade: We already decided the best way. A person taking votes
Friar William: So I presume there will be a small event where all the
Gargish Dragon: Only persons who are registered will be allowed to vote
Friar William: candidates will present their manifesto for their elected period?
Gargish Dragon: Yes, this will be done
Friar William: A very wise decision
Gargish Dragon: wehen the period for announcing candidacy is over Of course you will always be able to speak to the candidates yourself I can say that for my person at least, in case I chose to be a candidate. Are there more questions about the elections?
Rictar: Green Hell supports Gargish
Laein Simorian: *raises hand*
Gargish Dragon: Aye, Laein?
Laein Simorian: i would like to say something about the merchant program im working out
Gargish Dragon: Ah, thank you Laein this was about the next topic :) I didn't forget you
Laein Simorian: oh? *smiles*
Gargish Dragon: Just wanted to clear the election issue before we proceed with the next topic So.. if there are no more questions, I give you the word, Laein
Laein Simorian: well, im trying to get ahold of some merchants of the area right now on the CoC page ive been putting together a map of yew along with most of the areas merchants so if you have a vendor in the area just goto the CoC Page and email me i belive gargish has the new one linked up?
Gargish Dragon: Aye, it is
Laein Simorian: also on the page there is information on a upcoming all to come to Sir do you have anything to add?
Gargish Dragon: Aye.. if you have ideas for the Helloween festival (for that is what the event is about) please letour honorable Commerce Minister know I am sure this will be fun Thank you, Laein Now I would like you to bring up any other issues that you want to be discussed
Pyros: *hand*
Gargish Dragon: Pyros?
Pyros: I missed the first half of the elections discusion. Did you guys decided if the position of Captain of the Militia should be elected or appointed?
Gargish Dragon: I was merely speaking of the office of Mayor
Pyros: ok so nothing about the captain?
Gargish Dragon: As the Militia is concerned, I do not see any reason to make any changes
Pyros: alright well that settles that
Rictar: But shouldnt that be up to the citizens of Yew whom protects them?
Gargish Dragon: A new mayor might appoint a new Captain
Pyros: personaly I think the position should be appointed not elected
Gargish Dragon: As for my decision, I consult the Militia when it is necessary But I do not see any necessity at this time
Gargish Dragon: Other topics? Open issues?
Fortunato: * raises hand *A question... to what extent does teh council here in Yew plan to become in volved with the operations of Minoc.I find the goal noble but can we rally the resourcers?
Gargish Dragon: Sorry.. I am sure the Militia will not neglect their regular job You see, in case of need the Militia can get reinforcement from Minoc I think we can both profit from the alliance Does that answer the question?
Fortunato: aye, it does satisfy my curosity
Gargish Dragon: Any other questions or issues? If there are none, then I will close this meeting Thank ye all for attending Thank ye all for attending And Fare thee well
