From Atlantic Roleplay Wiki
Thrawn: ok, let's begin
Thrawn: thank you all for coming
Thrawn: to begin, Pyros has some sad news
Pyros: I heard last night
Pyros: that Urban Knight member DarkJustice passed away
Pyros: After losing a battle to cancer
Pyros: So I'd like to take a moment of silence
Pyros: *nods*
Pyros: thank you all
Thrawn: thank you
Pyros: thrawn you may continue
Thrawn: okay, now before we begin with our agenda
Thrawn: does anybody have any issues, suggestions, or concerns to bring up?
Mosala says I do
Thrawn: go ahead Mosala
- Mosala says regarding the Yew stone... is it back to 100% now?
Thrawn: yes, it appears to be working fine
- Mosala says ok thank you
Thrawn: I am sure some people still ned to be added back onto it
Thrawn: but the problems with it appear to be gone
- Mosala says good
Thrawn: anything else?
Thrawn: very well then, I'll go over today's agenda
Thrawn: and begin
Thrawn: first we will discuss some new positions we are looking to fill
Thrawn: then we will mention a Spring Festival we hope to hold in the near future
Thrawn: after that, we will discuss the recent desecration of several shrines
Thrawn: and finally, I will discuss a new message board system we are moving to
Thrawn: so the first order of business is to fill some new positions within the Council
Thrawn: there can be a lot of work to do... and sometimes not enough people to do it all
Thrawn: we are looking for a few things at the moment
Thrawn: first, an Event Coordinator type
Thrawn: who would be responsible for planning and announcing public events
- Joost shadow Xx says Isn't that supposed to be L:aeins job?
Pyros: No she is just the Minister of commerce
Pyros: and besides, she is away for the next few momths
- Joost shadow Xx says Very well
Thrawn: I would like to see at least one major event run each month
Thrawn: creativity and organizational skills are rather important for this position
Thrawn: another position we are looking to fill is Town Historian
Thrawn: responsible for recording and archiving records of important events and people
Thrawn: applicants should possess good writing and organizational skills
Thrawn: as well as good grammaer and spelling
Thrawn: *grin*
- Mosala says that leaves me out
Thrawn: and finally, we are looking to add some new staff to the Court of Justice
Thrawn: some additional judges, and some lawyers
Thrawn: in hopes that more trials and events of those type can be organized
Thrawn: having official prosecutor and defense attorneys for the court would help
Thrawn: if anybody is interested in any of these positions
Thrawn: please contact me via email or ICQ
Thrawn: AFTER the meeting please
Kotare II: is there a bailif positon available?
Zarloke: *raises hand*
Kotare II: err bailiff
Thrawn: not at the moment
Kotare II: :)
Thrawn: but if the Court becomes active enough to need one, we'll see
- Mosala says I need that number please Mr. Mayor
Thrawn: Zarloke?
Zarloke: What is your ICQ?
Thrawn: 3449773
Zarloke: Thank you,
Thrawn: quite welcome
Thrawn: moving along
Thrawn: once a Town Event Coordinator is appointed
Thrawn: we will immediately begin planning a Spring Festival
Thrawn: Spring is a nice time of year, and we should celebrate our fine outdoor town
Thrawn: any ideas and suggestions for the event will be most appreciated
Thrawn: more details on that will come soon, but I just wanted to mention it
Thrawn: so you began thinking of ideas for it
Thrawn: next up
Thrawn: recently, several of the Virtue Shrines
Thrawn: have been desecrated by an unknown party
- Mosala says desecrated how?
Thrawn: well, black walls, fire, and blood...,
Anna: Evil smile*
Thrawn: strange statues and stone faces...
- Gath of Baal says Desecrated?
Thrawn: there are some pictures on stratics
- Gath of Baal says I think they look much better
- Mosala says you would
- Joost shadow Xx says Thats just your rotten taste Gath
- Gath of Baal says They have been blessed!
- Lord Rainbow King says Mind if I give my views on these.... shrines
- Gath of Baal says Actually..
Contemplator: *stifles laugh*
- Jonathan Cain says Have a care, wench! Do not anger my master.
Thrawn: go ahead Rainbow King
- Gath of Baal says Calm down Cain
- Lord Rainbow King says Virtues are a spiritual essence that symbolise how we view the ideal society should
- Lord Rainbow King says look like. Shrines are just monuments erected in stone. With the upcomming
- Lord Rainbow King says wars I would expect geographical location and shrines to change hands alot
- Lord Rainbow King says The question at hand to me would seem: Do we value geography over people and emotio
- Lord Rainbow King says ns?
- Lord Rainbow King says Make sure your actoins embody Justice and no desacration can ammount to that
Thrawn: how do you mean?
- Joost shadow Xx says What he is saying is that these changes really change the virtues in itself
- Lord Rainbow King says I'm saying they don't
- Mosala says wiser words were never spoken
- Lord Rainbow King says Virtues are how we should act.. Shrines ... are just stones
Thrawn: indeed
Thrawn: but symbolically, if someone wants to distort the stones
Thrawn: it could be the beginning of their intentions to distort the virtues themselves
- Lord Rainbow King says Then we should prevent that... but placing value in symbols have little meaning
- Lord Rainbow King says in a state of mind that preaches a Virtues life
- Lord Rainbow King says Placing value in Shrines seems like showing weakness in a plce you souldn't be
- Lord Rainbow King says I hope you understood that last sentence
Thrawn: the Shrines are a symbol of the Virtues
Thrawn: although maybe you see them as just "stone" they still hold value to some
- Lord Rainbow King says I feel actions should be a symbol of Virtue.. It's not wise to pay your respect to
- Lord Rainbow King says a stone but act Unjust five minutes later
Kotare II: to desicrate the shrine, is to desicrate the virtue. the one responsible had that intention
Kotare II: if they were to attack the stone, they could have done it to any structure
Kotare II: its the virtue they attack
Thrawn: of course, living the Virtues is more important than the Shrines themselves
- Lord Rainbow King says Structures matter not to me... but that's just a personal remark
Thrawn: but to those who do live and adhere to the Virtues, do hold some symbolic value
Thrawn: anybody else like to comment on the issue?
Thrawn: very well
- Lord Rainbow King says Excuse me for a moment...
- Lord Rainbow King says Kal Ort Por
Thrawn: next, I would like to mention that we will be moving our message boards soon
Thrawn: to a new system... one that allows more sub-boards and topics
Thrawn: it looks very nice
Thrawn: you will be able to reach these new boards through the Council website
Thrawn: has anybody here not visited the Council website yet?
Kotare II: nay
