Second Meeting of the Britain Council

From Atlantic Roleplay Wiki

Ce'Nedra Willow: Tass won't be here today And though I always say this, I do expect it to be a super short meetings.
Auren Therion: *grins*
Ce'Nedra Willow: *hic*
Wren Hapswill: *smiles*
Ce'Nedra Willow: *feels refreshed*
Ce'Nedra Willow: Hail
Ce'Nedra Willow: *hic*
Ce'Nedra Willow: Are you here for the Council Meeting?
New Yankee: me?
Ce'Nedra Willow: Aye
New Yankee: no
Ce'Nedra Willow: *smiles*
New Yankee: just curious bystander.. hehe
Ce'Nedra Willow: Oh well please be welcome and stay.
Ce'Nedra Willow: *hic*
Servantes: *grins*
Auren Therion: *nods*
New Yankee: okey
Ce'Nedra Willow: Okay then. We've not had much going on this last week. Mostly because of housing on hold again. I made some updates... minor ones to the website. And I've posted the meetings to the in game message boards. Sunwolf thought that the messages only stay for a length of time. I've not been able to test that yet, but I think the council should divy up boards. And be responsible for making sure the message stays on their board.
Auren Therion: *nods*
Ce'Nedra Willow: So Wren that leaves you.. Did you have an oppinion?
Wren Hapswill: eh? about message boards?
Ce'Nedra Willow: I tend to hope people have an oppinion when I'm creating work for them.
Wren Hapswill: *smiles*
Gwendolyn: *smiles*
Wren Hapswill: I look forward to helping out..
Ce'Nedra Willow: Okay. Well we just voted on it then since the rest aren't here. I'll make the list up and set assignments. We chose events for the Seer Festival on the message board.
Gwendolyn: *thinks about the trinsic message boards*
Gwendolyn: *makes notes*
Ce'Nedra Willow: I don't think Tass sent them in yet though. I think he's going to offer his archery contest, and Vix or Dove or both agreed to fortunes again, from three to five I think.
Gwendolyn: *raises hand*
Ce'Nedra Willow: Yes ?
Gwendolyn: I believe KOS has offered to run the archery contest. Though I"m not sure how definite that is.
Ce'Nedra Willow: Well we discussed that last meeting, and decided that the festival is going on most the day. So surely if multiple people have the same item, you can just run them different times.
Gwendolyn: aye, that's true
Servantes: *raises hand*
Ce'Nedra Willow: Yes?
Servantes: Where will this be held? Sorry if I am not upto date
Ce'Nedra Willow: There's a new fair grounds just outside Britain near the Moongate but in city Limits.
Servantes: Ahh
Wren Hapswill: I hear they will be permenent
Ce'Nedra Willow: *nods*
Ce'Nedra Willow: That's just their kickoff event. But they are to be there permanently for use of the 'players'
Wren Hapswill: *smiles*
Ce'Nedra Willow: I don't think I have much more to say. Wren welcome to the meetings.
Wren Hapswill: *chuckles*
Ce'Nedra Willow: *sticks out her pretty little tongue*
Ce'Nedra Willow: Looks like we'll be done before molly makes it here.
Wren Hapswill: I've been to one or two..I think..
Ce'Nedra Willow: I know but not for quite some time.
Wren Hapswill: *nods*
Auren Therion: *raises hand*
Ce'Nedra Willow: Auren?
Auren Therion: About the messageboards
Ce'Nedra Willow: Yes?
Auren Therion: Are you planning to post Council meetings in Britain only, or in other towns?
Ce'Nedra Willow: Britain's yes. The world is a awkward place. We move around and travel with such ease, that's its hard to set down roots, and claim citizenry of a town.
Auren Therion: aye.. Especially with no homes
Ce'Nedra Willow: At the same time... What's the use in the town councils if we all go to all the towns? While we certainly welcome anyone, I'd like to beef up the Britain Cizizenry involvement.
Auren Therion: *nods*
Auren Therion: Aye. Those who usually reside here...
Ce'Nedra Willow: Welcome
Ce'Nedra Willow: *smiles at the deer*
Dorn: hey can you help me
Ce'Nedra Willow: What do you need?
Auren Therion: How might we help thee?
New Yankee: ?
Dorn: what does you are to light mean
Auren Therion: too light?
Dorn: when i try to put on armor
Ce'Nedra Willow: Oh too weak
Gwendolyn: ahhh
New Yankee: ah
Ce'Nedra Willow: It means you need to build strength to wear the heavier armor.
Auren Therion: oh you are not strong enough to wear it
Wren Hapswill: *nods*
Auren Therion: *nods*
New Yankee: go wrestle and parry a lot
Dorn: how do i do that?
Ce'Nedra Willow: There are practice dummies.
Dorn: ah
Auren Therion: try several excercises
New Yankee: go fight monsters, also.
Auren Therion: lumberjacking is good as well
New Yankee: yep. gm here, 100 str
Ce'Nedra Willow: There are several behind Lord British's Castle within his courtyard.
Dorn: thank you all very much
Ce'Nedra Willow: Our pleasure.
Auren Therion: Thou art most welcome
Gwendolyn: good luck to ye
Ce'Nedra Willow: Feel free to attend the council meetings.
Dorn: i will. good day to thee
Ce'Nedra Willow: *waves*
Servantes: Farewell
Wren Hapswill: *smiles*
Ce'Nedra Willow: It's rather amusing that people come to the counselor's hall for help, and we happen to be here.
Gwendolyn: *smiles*
Ce'Nedra Willow: When I first was told to seek one, this was the very building I came to, only to find it empty.
Wren Hapswill: *smiles*
Auren Therion: *smiles*
Ce'Nedra Willow: Anyways.. back to Citizenry.
Auren Therion: aye
Ce'Nedra Willow: While I love seeing all your shining faces.. it's rather sad that most of you are from other towns, and other councils. So yes I planned to put our messages on these boards.
Auren Therion: *nods*
Auren Therion: It makes sense
Ce'Nedra Willow: It's the same reason I don't have Kathy announce our events on ever Council's boards.
Wren Hapswill: I think there should be a standard message set for this
Auren Therion: I was thinking
Ce'Nedra Willow: They go to our board. the News sites. and combined boards like HoA
Ce'Nedra Willow: What do you mean Wren? Like everyone post the same message when we do it, or all boards are linked?
Wren Hapswill: Well.. if everyone who posts on these boards, post a different message.. It might confuse some.
Ce'Nedra Willow: *nods*
Ce'Nedra Willow: When I write out the locations and such, I'll write up the message I've been posting.
Wren Hapswill: *nods*
Ce'Nedra Willow: What were you thinking Auren?
Auren Therion: hmmm.. oh
Ce'Nedra Willow: *grins*
Auren Therion: Maybe seers might put it permanently
Ce'Nedra Willow: I do not think they have that ability.
Auren Therion: *nods*
Ce'Nedra Willow: They could put it on a plaque and have it hung for us, but that would come if/when they choose to decorate the hall here for our use.
Auren Therion: *nods*
Auren Therion: well the boards are still a good idea
Gwendolyn: *nods*
Wren Hapswill: Their help would be nice.. but we should never count on it
Ce'Nedra Willow: Aye the girl that came and suggested it last week was definately influential to us.
Auren Therion: I wonder where she went of to
Ce'Nedra Willow: She went to find a Seer I believe.
Ce'Nedra Willow: *grins*
Auren Therion: *sighs*
Wren Hapswill: *smiles*
Auren Therion: oh dear.. She hath travelled to far reaches of the world
Wren Hapswill: that's quite a quest..
Auren Therion: aye
Ce'Nedra Willow: Any other questions? Or should we call the meeting to an end?
Gwendolyn: *raises hand*
Ce'Nedra Willow: Yes?
Gwendolyn: I'd like to mention a couple things.
Wren Hapswill: I'll think of something after you've gone I'm sure
Ce'Nedra Willow: *nods*
Gwendolyn: The Atlantic Shard Town Council Public Events calendar is up and running...
Ce'Nedra Willow: Aye that was in my news on the council site. And one of the updates I made to the site.
Gwendolyn: If you haven't seen it, here's the address: www.calsnet.com/atltc
Gwendolyn: great :) What is the url for your main site now?
Ce'Nedra Willow: britain.sweetleaf.cc
Gwendolyn: *makes notes*
Gwendolyn: thanks. The other thing I wanted to mention is that Trinsic is hosting a bazaar on the 15th.
Ce'Nedra Willow: That is what day? Two weekends?
Gwendolyn: Saturday
Gwendolyn: *nods*
Wren Hapswill: which side?
Auren Therion: Trammel
Gwendolyn: It will be held at the Trammel Trinsic Marketplace.
Ce'Nedra Willow: Have you prepared any guides for interested merchants and craftsmen? I was telling someone of it the other day, and they asked how it worked. I told them what I'd do.. but didnt know what is suggested.
Gwendolyn: Guides? what do you mean?
Ce'Nedra Willow: I don't know like. Setting up a booth. Or the advantage of bring raw materials over finished items
Gwendolyn: *nods*
Ce'Nedra Willow: Should they just bank everything and walk to the bank to sell, etc etc. I'm sure the people that do it regularly have tips you could merge as a guide.
Gwendolyn: In the past, we've left such decisions up to the merchants.
Ce'Nedra Willow: But to a first time market merchant, those things might be helpful to know about.
Wren Hapswill: *nods*
Gwendolyn: aye...
Ce'Nedra Willow: I was thinking of selling armor, but it's so heavy I can't carry much on me. And then you never know what people want. So for me.. I could stockpile hides in the bank and carry what I could on me and go there when I needed more materials. But a smith could not. As there is no forge there is there?
Gwendolyn: *nods*
Gwendolyn: true...
Wren Hapswill: sounds like you need an apprentice or two..
Wren Hapswill: *smiles*
Gwendolyn: The forge is in the blacksmith's, across town.
Ce'Nedra Willow: Is there a smithy building near by? Across town? Hrm.
Auren Therion: not near the market.. hmmm
Gwendolyn: No, nothing near by.
Ce'Nedra Willow: Perhapsa request could be made for one. a small one..
Gwendolyn: How would we make such a request?
Ce'Nedra Willow: Write to a seer. Explain what you do, how often you do it, links to things about you and your events, and exactly what you would like and where.
Gwendolyn: ok...
Auren Therion: they should gut out the fish warehouse
Auren Therion: *chuckles*
Ce'Nedra Willow: When asking for things like that in towns, make sure they don't plunk it down in the middle of the market square, as that means it would be in the way for other events people may wish to hold there.
Gwendolyn: true...
Auren Therion: they should gut out the building right next to there and put things in there
Gwendolyn: no more fish, Auren?
Ce'Nedra Willow: Well you probably only need a forge really. And you don't want to make the rest of the town useless.
Auren Therion: *shakes head*
Gwendolyn: *nods*
Ce'Nedra Willow: You want the smithy to get used.. just need convenience for market time.
Auren Therion: a packhorse might work to transport things
Ce'Nedra Willow: That's true too. So in the guide you tell merchants where the banks are, where to buy packhorse, and where utilities like an oven and forge are.
Wren Hapswill: where to buy horse food
Ce'Nedra Willow: That too. It's just an idea for one more resource that could make things easier.
Gwendolyn: thank you, Ce'Nedra. We do need merchants.
Ce'Nedra Willow: getting Citizens to volunteer time wokring in your shops is good too. You can publish a schedule of when they plan to be there.
Servantes: *nods*
Gwendolyn: Also, I was thinking the bazaar could be a good place for other small events.
Ce'Nedra Willow: I suggest it to you cause you have more erm citizens then we do.
Gwendolyn: Not solely merchants.
Ce'Nedra Willow: *nods*
Gwendolyn: Fortune telling, perhaps.
Ce'Nedra Willow: Hiring wandering bards is always nice.
Gwendolyn: hrmm.. true...
Servantes: I like beggars more
Servantes: *grins*
Auren Therion: What Bardic guilds are there?
Ce'Nedra Willow: That adds spice too. Well there's the CBA. But bards keep to themselves a lot, rather then join any group. I tend to borrow in friends from other shards that love being a bard. takes no skill to tell a tale sing a song. Any Newbie can do it.
Gwendolyn: *nods*
Molly: Sorry for being late
Ce'Nedra Willow: Welcome Molly. Long time no see.
Wren Hapswill: you must not have heard me try to sing..
Ce'Nedra Willow: *grins*
Molly: *smiles*
Gwendolyn: Hail Molly
Auren Therion: *hums a tune*
Wren Hapswill: *smiles*
Ce'Nedra Willow: The CBA library has some tales and songs and poems that could be borrowed.
Molly: Hail Gwen
Ce'Nedra Willow: Anyways anything else?
Wren Hapswill: The bazarre in Trinsic is a regular event is it not?
Servantes: *raises hand*
Ce'Nedra Willow: Yes Servantes?
Gwendolyn: We plan to hold one monthly.
Servantes: Is the submission for events to Seer Oberon over?
Wren Hapswill: *smiles*
Ce'Nedra Willow: I don't know.
Servantes: Okay
Ce'Nedra Willow: I hope not as I don't think ours was sent yet.
Gwendolyn: 7/2 was the deadline
Ce'Nedra Willow: We got a couple days then.
Gwendolyn: I sent ours in last night, Serv.
Servantes: Okay
Auren Therion: demain
Wren Hapswill: *hand*
Ce'Nedra Willow: Yes?
Wren Hapswill: I had an idea to gain interest in the bazarre ..
Gwendolyn: yes?
Wren Hapswill: perhaps if we could organize a merchant convoy to Trinsic before them each month.. from each of the cities
Molly: I like that idea
Servantes: Good idea
Gwendolyn: Sunwolf had some ideas about caravans as well...
Molly: *smiles*
Gwendolyn: I like having it tied in with the bazaar.
Wren Hapswill: I remember helping to Guard the suplly run from Yew to Trinsic after the retaking
Gwendolyn: *nods*
Gwendolyn: I remember that caravan as well.
Molly: as do i
Wren Hapswill: it was twice as large as when it started when we arrived
Molly: *smiles*
Molly: everyone joined us on the road
Wren Hapswill: Aye
Gwendolyn: Who would organize the caravan?
Molly: the mayor from each town perhaps. we could ask them to
Ce'Nedra Willow: I'm sure if the mayor were here he'd say the Event's Coordinator of each town
Ce'Nedra Willow: *smirks*
Molly: or to assign someone for them
Wren Hapswill: *chuckles*
Gwendolyn: hehe
Molly: *laughs*
Auren Therion: yew has no coordinator
Molly: *raises my hand* i will do it for brit *laughs* not far to go
Gwendolyn: Neither does Trinsic, technically.
Auren Therion: I might find you one
Auren Therion: *grins*
Ce'Nedra Willow: that works for me Molly. Yew did have one but they keep becoming vice-mayors
Wren Hapswill: I believe Pyros is filling in foir Yew at the moment
Gwendolyn: find me one what, Auren?
Auren Therion: A coordinator
Gwendolyn: oh! that would be nice
Gwendolyn: *smiles*
Gwendolyn: If you want to coordinate one, Molly, I'll be glad to work with you on it.
Molly: *embarassed to ask* where is the bazzar to be held
Gwendolyn: The Trammel Trinsic Marketplace
Auren Therion: Southeast docks
Molly: alright
Gwendolyn: the next bazaar will be Saturday, 7/15
Molly: that is good
Auren Therion: square checkered plaza near se docks
Servantes: Beside the Fisherman's Guild
Molly: we could set it up with Sun to join his as he passes
Gwendolyn: sounds good...
Molly: *smiles*
Ce'Nedra Willow: Anything else?
Molly: Any thing that we need to transport of importance to the bazzar
Wren Hapswill: just people..
Wren Hapswill: *smiles*
Molly: *smiles*
Gwendolyn: raw materials might be good.. wood and such
Molly: *nods*
Gwendolyn: and, of course, people :)
Auren Therion: packhorses
Molly: *laughs*
Molly: true Auren
Molly: *smiles*
Gwendolyn: hehe
Auren Therion: there are stables north of the bazaar
Molly: good we had trouble with the packhorses last time, nowhere to keep them
Molly: *wonders if we are done*
Auren Therion: okay I think
Servantes: *twiddles his thumbs*
Auren Therion: *twitches ears*
Molly: Gwen i have not see Sun in a couple days. If you see him have him contact me
Gwendolyn: ok
Servantes: *whistles -Stone-*
Molly: Auren i would like to talk to you before you leave
Auren Therion: *nods*
Molly: thank you all for coming
Servantes: A pleasure
Auren Therion: *waves hands*
Molly: same time next week

Gwendolyn: thank you
