13:02: [The Dojo] Chronita: Ok, let's begin the assembly now, as always, with a /pray :) 13:02: [The Dojo] Chronita: Now for the mandatory “Rules of the Assembly” speech. . . ;) 13:02: [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. 13:03: [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. 13:03: [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. 13:03: [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 :) 13:03: [The Dojo] Chronita: End of Speech :) 13:04: [The Dojo] Chronita: Ok, just a few official topics today. . . 13:04: [The Dojo] Tangkick: AHHH 13:04: [The Dojo] Tangkick: We slept in !! 13:05: [The Dojo] Thakilla5: Assembly is in progress 13:05: [The Dojo] Chronita: First, I would like to inform everyone that later today or tomorrow I will be creating a House Kempo membership list. 13:06: [The Dojo] Chronita: It will include everyone who signed up in the membership thread. If you have not posted in that thread but feel you would like to be a part of the House, feel free to post the names of the characters you wish to enter in the sign-up thread still. 13:07: [The Dojo] Chronita: In the coming week or so we will be forming leadership of the House and set up a forum, etc. for it's use. 13:08: [The Dojo] Chronita: Also as some of you might have noticed, earlier this week I posted info on an inter-org raid that was later cancelled. 13:09: [The Dojo] Chronita: This was the first attempt of a new Omni Alliance to enhance PvP situations with superior planning and organization. 13:09: [The Dojo] Chronita: Next week I will provide more specifics on this alliance and how we can participate in it. 13:10: [The Dojo] Chronita: For now I am still helping the other co-founders set the groundwork and institute policies, etc. 13:11: [The Dojo] Chronita: Whenever this takes shape, House Kempo will probably be quite involved with this new alliance and it's planned activities :) 13:13: [The Dojo] Chronita: Second topic for today - I would like to congratulate two of our members, Flupper and Traineeer, on reaching level 200 this week!

This includes anything that would make people read it anyway, like acronyms or creative spelling 13:21: [The Dojo] Neurobatica: Narations, meaning the description of your minute by minute activities is spam for most everyone... 13:21: [The Dojo] Neurobatica: Talking in a language other than english is spam for most everyone... 13:22: [The Dojo] Neurobatica: Sorry to have to bring this up but we even had an incident where several members all muted the org line due to the activity that took place. :( 13:23: [The Dojo] Neurobatica: So please be considerate of your fellow org members, we want to keep the line active, but please just think if what you are saying is going to be of general interest ot the org. 13:23: [The Dojo] Neurobatica: Oh, and of course, flaming of anykind or rants isn't not appropriate, and we had a few of those too 13:23: [The Dojo] Neurobatica: *is not 13:24: [The Dojo] Neurobatica: That's about it. Feel free everyone to join in and politely help your fellow members keep the org atmosphere where we want it with a polite reminder.

We had an incident too this last week where people were talking about their mothers and how they treated them and how to get away with things. Two mothers in our org sent me complaints. 13:28: [The Dojo] Akidoe: yikes! 13:28: [The Dojo] Chronita: Not that i will become kick-happy and boot anyone who lets something slip ;) Everyone receives warnings and whatnot - only repeated abuse is punished severely. 13:29: [The Dojo] Xiahang: hates all this downer conversation today :( 13:29: [The Dojo] Chronita: That's enough for this topic for now :) 13:30: [The Dojo] Chronita: Keep in mind that 23/24 hours a day chat is just fine :) 13:30: [The Dojo] Chronita: Let's move onto something happier. . .how about the yalm drawing? :) 13:30: [The Dojo] Thakilla5: Soudns good tro me 13:31: [The Dojo] Chronita: I collected names last Sunday, and there were only 2 who signed up :) 13:31: [The Dojo] Chronita: Only one is present today, so my job is quite easy :) 13:31: [The Dojo] Thakilla5: Hehe 13:32: [The Dojo] Chronita: Congrats to Intertwine on winning the yalm fund for the week, and best of luck in the store hunt! :) 13:32: [The Dojo] Fotd: (Ishrantu/Dirr) Woot 13:32: [The Dojo] Tubarolean: grats! 13:32: [The Dojo] Traineeer: Grats:) 13:32: [The Dojo] Zealotte: Gratz Intertwine 13:32: [The Dojo] Munkeezon: Grats Intertwine! 13:32: [The Dojo] Usestona: gratz 13:32: [The Dojo] Fratzi: gratz 13:32: [The Dojo] Noord: Gratz! 13:32: [The Dojo] Akidoe: Yay! 13:32: [The Dojo] Fotd: (Spolck/Keraji) grats 13:32: [The Dojo] Maleene: Grats Intertwine 13:32: [The Dojo] Jarghen: grats 13:32: [The Dojo] Xiahang: i seen one for sale earlier inent store for jsut over 5 mil 13:32: [The Dojo] Bloodwalker: Congrats :) 13:33: [The Dojo] Neurobatica: Yeah, intertwine!! 13:33: [The Dojo] Flupper: grats inter 13:33: [The Dojo] Chronita: Remember that we hold drawing every other week, and you must be present on the odd weeks to sign up :) 13:33: [The Dojo] Chronita: Also our yalm giveaway fund is run through the org bank if anyone would like to contribute to it :) 13:34: [The Dojo] Chronita: that's /org bank add xxx as a reminder ;) 13:34: [The Dojo] Fotd: (Ishrantu/Dirr) We are low on money. 13:34: [The Dojo] Fotd: (Ishrantu/Dirr) We are low on money. 13:35: [The Dojo] Fotd: (Ishrantu/Dirr) oops 13:35: [The Dojo] Chronita: I kick in a mil each week now, so we only need around 4 mil every 2 weeks to supply it - not too bad IMO :) 13:36: [The Dojo] Flupper: 68 mill ? 13:36: [The Dojo] Akidoe: ya, sorry Killa, i spent most of that on soda and pop rocks..... 13:36: [The Dojo] Chronita: That concludes my topics for today - have some time for open-topic sessions 13:37: [The Dojo] Chronita: If anyone has something they would like to discuss/ask, please stand now and be recognized :) 13:37: [The Dojo] Akidoe: eep! 13:37: [The Dojo] Tangkick: membership ^_^; 13:37: [The Dojo] Chronita: Starting to my left we have Neurobatica first.
