14:09: [The Dojo] Chronita: Now for the mandatory “Rules of the Assembly” speech. . . ;) 14:10: [The Dojo] Chronita: I will be moderating this Assembly. This is not to prevent you from expressing yourself, on the contrary, but rather to try to keep it organized. Until I open a topic for discussion, comments in the org channel should be kept at a minimal. 14:10: [The Dojo] Chronita: If I open a discussion, you may freely contribute to the discussion (without standing up), until the discussion is closed. If I ask for any new topics and you have one you would like to raise, please stand and I will recognize you so you can state your topic, then we will have a discussion. 14:10: [The Dojo] Chronita: When discussing, pls respect the others, and stick to the topic currently being discussed. Applicants are requested to limit their posts, and cannot take part in votes. 14:11: [The Dojo] Chronita: If someone from outside the org disturbs our meeting here, the best policy is to just ignore him/her. A council member or myself can tell them the meeting is in progress and ask them to leave, otherwise we should limit our contact with them. In the past it has been proven time and time again that the “zen” approach is best :) 14:11: [The Dojo] Chronita: End of Speech :) 14:12: [The Dojo] Chronita: Ok, just a couple things from me today, then we can hold some open topic time 14:12: [The Dojo] Chronita: First I would like to remind everyone that House Kempo (PvP/tower battles, etc) is beginning to form. 14:13: [The Dojo] Chronita: If you are interested in devoting time to this house and have not done so already, please contact either Munkeezon or Magellien to be added to the sign-up list. 14:13: [The Dojo] Munkeezon: we have gathered 8 names so far :) 14:14: [The Dojo] Kardiz: 9 14:14: [The Dojo] Quickshock: heh 14:14: [The Dojo] Kardiz: :) 14:14: [The Dojo] Chronita: Second topic - Bow MAs 14:14: [The Dojo] Chronita: as some of you may have noticed, several of us have been testing out bows as a viable option to PvP 14:16: [The Dojo] Chronita: There is a nice thread started with our feedback on the general forum now, so if you are interested in persuing this option, please read up on it there and feel free to contact any of our members who have experience with them :) 14:17: [The Dojo] Chronita: Lastly I would like to extend Maliphecent an official "Welcome Back" after extended technical difficulties :) 14:17: [The Dojo] Maliphecent: :D 14:17: [The Dojo] Scythewind: WB!! 14:17: [The Dojo] Flupper: welcome back :) 14:17: [The Dojo] Striken7: wb Mali :P 14:17: [The Dojo] Maliphecent: *sniffle 14:18: [The Dojo] Traineeer: WB:) 14:18: [The Dojo] Knucklz: ditto 14:18: [The Dojo] Chronita: Hopefully we will hold the Mali PJ Party real soon now! ;) 14:18: [The Dojo] Quickshock: Heh.

That's a feat. 14:26: [The Dojo] Kardiz: beggining for our proffesion are rather simple as we are muslticlass prof, and the farer we go the harder it gets, everyone helps my new "me" and i'm very greatfull but i noticed one thing 14:27: [The Dojo] Kardiz: equipment rotation egzists only thru banks witch doesn't help low lvl members as mostly you can ger high ql stuff there, i wonder what happends to ma equipment that all of us used 14:29: [The Dojo] Chronita: well i think a lot of lower lvl equip most members keep themselves and pass it along as they can 14:29: [The Dojo] Chronita: and while i certainly do not have as many lower lvl suits as higher, i do have some, and am always open for more 14:30: [The Dojo] Maliphecent: hmmm.... i can sort of understand where you're coming from but, is that not promoteing twinking? 14:30: [The Dojo] Chronita: i would assume the armor bank (see Kamius) would have some lower level items as well 14:30: [The Dojo] Flupper: problem is you level so fast at that level that its hard to keep armor for long 14:30: [The Dojo] Kardiz: i understand that we need money to survive so maybe to help those that sacrifice their less usable equipment like helms, pants and so on and pay them little cash for it from guild bank, i'm not talking about buying everything but ma suits would be probably very welcome and everyone of us would be happy if we could have it at lower lvl 14:30: [The Dojo] Fistcadence: Hello 14:31: [The Dojo] Fistcadence: To where? 14:31: [The Dojo] Kardiz: ofcours something like that is hard to organize but maybe we could think about it becous most of that stuff goes to alt chars:P 14:31: [The Dojo] Chronita: right, and we do not force ppl to donate items as well - it is all done out of a kind spirit 14:32: [The Dojo] Chronita: and certainly should not be done if the intention is to receive something in return 14:32: [The Dojo] Kardiz: and i doubt that it comes back from there^&, exacly that why i sugest to motivate them, i belive that everyone would like to help the guild but sopmetimes we sell stuff becous we need expesive nano and other things 14:32: [The Dojo] Kardiz: ^^* 14:33: [The Dojo] Chronita: best way to utilize our banks too now is to check the forums for what you need :) 14:33: [The Dojo] Munkeezon: We can always use more items for donation. Especially low suits which come from bosses or even better, dynacamps. Those you can always attack at any level with your main. (more from me on that later) 14:33: [The Dojo] Kardiz: ok thats all^^ if its dumb or was mentioned before forget it, but if someone thinks the same then atleast please reconsider it 14:34: [The Dojo] Chronita: no its quite ok Kardiz, we are always looking for ways to help each other out :) 14:34: [The Dojo] Flupper: Its jsut hard kardiz. The ppl that get the low level armor is the ones that need money and therefore they sell it 14:34: [The Dojo] Flupper: but it would be nice to get more low ql armor 14:34: [The Dojo] Chronita: ok Opitist, your turn :) 14:34: [The Dojo] Kardiz: i know thats why i ask to pay them some from guild bank 14:35: [The Dojo] Kallana: umm can I say soemthign real quick? 14:35: [The Dojo] Opitist: whast a pj party? 14:36: [The Dojo] Opitist: does n e 1 know? 14:36: [The Dojo] Opitist: ive never heard of one 14:36: [The Dojo] Munkeezon: There's a good write up in the events boad on thedojo.free.fr 14:36: [The Dojo] Opitist: ok thx munk 14:37: [The Dojo] Chronita: hehe yes, Mali can give a brief summary of her event here for those who are new if she wishes 14:37: [The Dojo] Munkeezon: Basically fight with pillows and no armor 14:37: [The Dojo] Opitist: i jusyt never heard of one 14:37: [The Dojo] Refflection: Opi, it's an event where we fight with pillows 14:37: [The Dojo] Refflection: Mali invented it 14:37: [The Dojo] Opitist: and were is it 14:37: [The Dojo] Refflection: Read on events board, it's all there 14:37: [The Dojo] Opitist: k 14:37: [The Dojo] Opitist: thank you all 14:38: [The Dojo] Chronita: ok Mali is mute for a bit it seems, so we will go on to Munkeezon :) 14:38: [The Dojo] Munkeezon: OK 14:38: [The Dojo] Munkeezon: Well I've been hoping to join a 12 step program, but I'm afraid I've become a Dynacamp addict lately. 14:38: [The Dojo] Munkeezon: So I put together a database that Tubarolean, Traineer, myslf and others had started in the forums 14:39: [The Dojo] Munkeezon: From that thread I mean 14:39: [The Dojo] Munkeezon: And I have 100+ locations around Rubika in it now. I put it on a yahoo group so that everybody could read and write to the database if they wished, changing things as they see a wider level range of bosses or adding new locations 14:40: [The Dojo] Maliphecent: Munkee needs to Visit the Omni Ford Clinic 14:40: [The Dojo] Munkeezon: You can find it at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/aodynacamps 14:40: [The Dojo] Bullbarrell: but you have to login 14:40: [The Dojo] Kallana: ok well what I would like to do then is give my old lvl 8 organic suit to you , as you would no better if any lower people or new recruits could use it :) 14:40: [The Dojo] Kallana: oops 14:40: [The Dojo] Munkeezon: Thank you. Rase gave me some pamphlets too :) 14:40: [The Dojo] Refflection: I have a question about that 14:40: [The Dojo] Refflection: I couldn't log in 14:40: [The Dojo] Maliphecent: :D 14:41: [The Dojo] Bullbarrell: i dont have a yahoo account, so i cant read it? 14:41: [The Dojo] Munkeezon: I also created a link with excel and made xy graphs of all the camps and overlaid them on top of the map of each AO zone 14:41: [The Dojo] Refflection: I DO have a yahoo account and i still can't 14:41: [The Dojo] Munkeezon: So that you can easily traverse all the dynacamps in a zone at once. 14:41: [The Dojo] Refflection: Munkee, I can transfer this to a PHP database seperate from yahoo if you like so we don't have login issues like this 14:42: [The Dojo] Munkeezon: Ok, Well lets look at a couple login problems privately and if tha tworks better we can always move it. 14:42: [The Dojo] Chronita: also if the file is not too large i can always put it on the dojo main site :) 14:43: [The Dojo] Refflection: can you put php files on that server? 14:43: [The Dojo] Munkeezon: we can link from the dojo site to http://www.eversmile.com/ao/DynaCamps.htm 14:43: [The Dojo] Refflection: Oh ok well i can program it if you want 14:43: [The Dojo] Munkeezon: That's the static images that I created from the database info 14:43: [The Dojo] Refflection: Bull just said he can't log in either so i'm trying to clarify for everyone 14:44: [The Dojo] Bullbarrell: i cant get in because i dont have a yahoo account, so putting on our website is better for ppl like me 14:44: [The Dojo] Chronita: also on that topic. .. 14:45: [The Dojo] Chronita: I have been meaning to clean up our links and library sections on the website for some time now. i might be able to find the time for that soon :) 14:45: [The Dojo] Munkeezon: Just to clarify since people asked privately, I like these boss camps so much because you can ge stacks of nova dillon, sekutek, MA suits and other goodies like the new not-sold-in-store nanos from them quickly. A level 100 or so can take out low ql camps fast and they otherwise can not get into the low team missions to kill bosses for them. 14:45: [The Dojo] Maliphecent: can i add something on that? 14:45: [The Dojo] Chronita: go ahead mali 14:45: [The Dojo] Deathstorm: sorry i am later 14:46: [The Dojo] Deathstorm: late 14:46: [The Dojo] Maliphecent: i think aside from cleaning the links up, we should add links to some of the more popular sites out there, such as arcanum, and places ppl can get AORC and Nano nanny (ect) 14:47: [The Dojo] Chronita: right, that was my plan :) 14:47: [The Dojo] Bullbarrell: and jaynes new mainframe site 14:47: [The Dojo] Maliphecent: hehe okies 14:47: [The Dojo] Chronita: ok, Dancingmoon did you have a topic? 14:47: [The Dojo] Flupper: make a thread we can add links in :) 14:48: [The Dojo] Dancingmoon: Well not really a topic, just that Kard reminded me to mention that I have several armor pieces for levels 45 to 60. After the meeting I can either hand them out here or give to Kam for storing. 14:48: [The Dojo] Quickshock: heh. Must be a sight to log on in the middle of a MA circle. :-) 14:49: [The Dojo] Dancingmoon: Also I have a couple of suits for you Chron. 14:49: [The Dojo] Chronita: sounds good :) 14:50: [The Dojo] Chronita: Ok, if there are not any other topics. . .? 14:50: [The Dojo] Dancingmoon: Also someone I teamed with earlier today brought up something I noticed also in the Dojo.
