14:04: [The Dojo] Chronita: OK, let's begin the assembly now, as always, with a /pray :)
14:04: [The Dojo] Chronita: Now for the mandatory “Rules of the Assembly” speech. . . ;)
14:05: [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.
14:05: [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.
14:05: [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.
14:06: [The Dojo] Chronita: End of Speech :)
14:06: [The Dojo] Chronita: Ok, only 2 topics from me today. . .
14:06: [The Dojo] Chronita: Topic 1 - Another Promotion :)
14:07: [The Dojo] Chronita: Council has agreed upon the promotion of Kamius to veteran status for his hard work and dedication in the Armor Bank.
14:07: [The Dojo] Kamius: ooooooo
14:07: [The Dojo] Epzzii: Grats Kamius:-)
14:07: [The Dojo] Chronita: Grats to Kamius, and thank you for your service!
14:08: [The Dojo] Lovegod: grats kam
14:08: [The Dojo] Kamius: thanks a lot :)
14:08: [The Dojo] Timia: Congrats Kamius.. =)
14:08: [The Dojo] Kamius: really appreciate that :) and im want to sya that ilm really oproud to be part of this great org :)
14:08: [The Dojo] Chronita: Ok, topic 2 - after assembly events
14:09: [The Dojo] Chronita: First thing is today, we had decided to have a party after assembly today. . .
14:09: [The Dojo] Chronita: do we still feel this way? ;)
14:09: [The Dojo] Zyphrix: yes
14:10: [The Dojo] Timia: Partay!!
14:10: [The Dojo] Zyphrix: me to 
14:10: [The Dojo] Chronita: hehe, ok, its nothing elaborate, just a gathering at baboons i suppose
14:10: [The Dojo] Chronita: but will can still have dancing competitions if you want :)
14:11: [The Dojo] Chronita: ok, next is next week's plan
14:12: [The Dojo] Chronita: what do we want to do? may i suggest a raid at either Steps of Madness or The Longest Road dungeon?
14:12: [The Dojo] Chronita: i think it is about time for something we can all do again
14:12: [The Dojo] Sannoz: 100
14:13: [The Dojo] Sannoz: i can bring anyone that need the step things
14:13: [The Dojo] Zyphrix: long way to trallvle on fot?
14:13: [The Dojo] Chronita: SoM is really close
14:13: [The Dojo] Timia: 50-70 I think is the level on TLR. Though for TIM you need a bit higher I suppose.
14:13: [The Dojo] Timia: There is other options as well. Cyborg Barracks, but its a hazzle to get to.
14:13: [The Dojo] Chronita: we should be able to easily handle both with good turnout
14:14: [The Dojo] Sannoz: 50-70 is to low
14:14: [The Dojo] Sannoz: for longest road 
14:14: [The Dojo] Sannoz: mine
14:14: [The Dojo] Timia: I have some MI-R2's that really want to get that HUD thing TIM drops.
14:14: [The Dojo] Munkeezon: I like the idea of doing both.  Low, high levels split
14:15: [The Dojo] Munkeezon: As long as we get some strong people for steps so we don't get owned :)
14:15: [The Dojo] Chronita: well TLR might be good then 
14:15: [The Dojo] Timia: Umm, the spawn are high but I've seen groups handling it.. Until clanners started to train mobs on them.
14:15: [The Dojo] Sannoz: i can tank steps
14:15: [The Dojo] Zyphrix: remember us low lvls
14:15: [The Dojo] Sannoz: if you want
14:15: [The Dojo] Chronita: perhaps a joint Dojo-MI-R2 Timia?
14:15: [The Dojo] Timia: That would be nice yes. =)
14:16: [The Dojo] Chronita: ok, we will plan that for now then
14:16: [The Dojo] Chronita: now the last part - 2 weeks from now
14:16: [The Dojo] Chronita: at that time we will have council elections again
14:17: [The Dojo] Munkeezon: Is there a report on last week's raid on web?  Kind of curious but maybe not appropriate for now.
14:17: [The Dojo] Chronita: it will also be the date of the scavenger hunt 
14:17: [The Dojo] Chronita: so we will elect council members then end the meeting early to set up for the scav hunt
14:18: [The Dojo] Chronita: timia and i will begin to announce it around in the next few days
14:18: [The Dojo] Sannoz: last week raid didnt go well
14:18: [The Dojo] Chronita: once we put out the word about the scav hunt, feel free to advertise it around as well :)
14:19: [The Dojo] Killingpunch: sry dojo
14:19: [The Dojo] Syndah: ?
14:19: [The Dojo] Chronita: and that's the end of what i have to say today
14:19: [The Dojo] Killingpunch: i dod excatley log in
14:19: [The Dojo] Azurehawk: Can I ask a question?
14:19: [The Dojo] Timia: We will also need volunteers for the different posts.. But it needs a bit more polish, so we'll take that next time I think.
14:19: [The Dojo] Syndah: Is anyone going to contact Stratics or AO Vault about the scav hunt?
14:19: [The Dojo] Wingto: Dont forget AO-Basher
14:20: [The Dojo] Chronita: yes, we will use all channels we can syndah
14:20: [The Dojo] Syndah: yeh and Basher
14:20: [The Dojo] Killingpunch: thx
14:20: [The Dojo] Chronita: ok, anyone have a topic/question now? pls stand if you do and be recognized!
14:21: [The Dojo] Chronita: and if you are tiny, pls squeek or something too ;)
14:21: [The Dojo] Azurehawk: I was wondering if anyone knew when the AO expansion is coming out
14:21: [The Dojo] Syndah: LOL
14:21: [The Dojo] Sannoz: x-mas
14:21: [The Dojo] Azurehawk: Ok. Thanks
14:21: [The Dojo] Chronita: "holiday" 4'th q
14:21: [The Dojo] Chronita: ok, Noord?
14:21: [The Dojo] Noord: What is the status of the armor bank?
14:22: [The Dojo] Chronita: um, still functioning as normal as far as i know. . .
14:22: [The Dojo] Chronita: any armor bank ppl with info/statements?
14:22: [The Dojo] Zyphrix: how to get items from it 
14:22: [The Dojo] Kamius: herm...bank is still functionnal np
14:22: [The Dojo] Zyphrix: and where it is
14:23: [The Dojo] Wingto: I was just wondering if the Bank people had set times for being on.
14:23: [The Dojo] Chronita: that might be a good thing to post in the armor bank forum Wingto, yes
14:23: [The Dojo] Kamius: yokay will do that....
14:24: [The Dojo] Epzzii: i usually send a /tell as soon as i see them on, they're always willing to help out
14:24: [The Dojo] Chronita: i'll start a thread in there and have all members post a reply with their usual playin times
14:24: [The Dojo] Chronita: all armor bank members that is
14:24: [The Dojo] Chronita: ok, Timia?
14:25: [The Dojo] Timia: Friends of the Dojo is halfdead. Its to darn silent.
14:26: [The Dojo] Timia: And it lacks certain things, like proper leadership and such. 
14:26: [The Dojo] Zyphrix: free entertainment
14:26: [The Dojo] Zyphrix: lol
14:26: [The Dojo] Maleene: wee
14:26: [The Dojo] Syndah: sigh
14:26: [The Dojo] Epzzii: always someone trying to be funny
14:27: [The Dojo] Katjaka: i couldn't agree more Timia
14:27: [The Dojo] Azurehawk: ".squelch Gherico"
14:27: [The Dojo] Syndah: good idea
14:27: [The Dojo] Maleene: ./ ignore Gherico
14:28: [The Dojo] Killingpunch: yeah
14:28: [The Dojo] Nubijuan: he is behind my panels, lol
14:28: [The Dojo] Syndah: Question
14:28: [The Dojo] Timia: Anyway, something should be done. But maybe discuss it more on the forum. I personally liked Lethals idea, but.. 
14:28: [The Dojo] Katjaka: btw is it still Nikh's alt that is leader of FotD ?
14:28: [The Dojo] Chronita: yes it is
14:29: [The Dojo] Timia: I fear we loose the uniqueness if we allow others in.
14:29: [The Dojo] Maleene: the leader of FotD is like lvl 6 :/ or something
14:29: [The Dojo] Timia: I left FotD with 2 chars already. So, something should be done about it I feel.
14:29: [The Dojo] Chronita: well any suggestions for FotD itself?
14:30: [The Dojo] Maleene: i dont even want my alts in FotD :/
14:30: [The Dojo] Syndah: I've already said too much I'm afraid :)
14:30: [The Dojo] Chronita: i do not think just importing alts to the main org is the solution myself
14:30: [The Dojo] Sannoz: cant a lvl 50 take him to arena
14:30: [The Dojo] Azurehawk: Tell Funcom to stop making MAs so fun so we'll play alts
14:31: [The Dojo] Syndah: someone give him a buff he doesn't want
14:31: [The Dojo] Maleene: lol
14:31: [The Dojo] Timia: Either we figure out a way to make it a true organization out of it, or we disband it. Only two options I see.
14:31: [The Dojo] Sannoz: we only have buffs people want :p
14:31: [The Dojo] Azurehawk: There. He has +20 more peircing
14:31: [The Dojo] Syndah: hmmm Riposte Exp? :)
14:31: [The Dojo] Syndah: LOL
14:31: [The Dojo] Munkeezon: Do we have a "sister" organization other than FoTD that might replace FoTD's purpose?
14:31: [The Dojo] Chronita: right, FotD was only so ppl with alts could still play together with ppl they knew in the org, that was the initial idea
14:32: [The Dojo] Timia: No Munkeezon.. FotD is the only one.
14:32: [The Dojo] Sannoz: i only meet timia there
14:32: [The Dojo] Azurehawk: Is it possible to have some sort of "alliance chat" Between FotD and the Dojo?
14:32: [The Dojo] Sannoz: "ageny"
14:32: [The Dojo] Chronita: but if no one uses it, perhaps we should disband it?
14:32: [The Dojo] Syndah: now that's a good idea
14:32: [The Dojo] Katjaka: mostly the same few ppl there
14:32: [The Dojo] Maleene: What about making the FotD guild all over again ??
14:33: [The Dojo] Timia: Some uses it already, but its to silent and it gives to little for any member to be part of it.
14:33: [The Dojo] Munkeezon: Especially with the heart and soul of those alts staying here in Dojo :)
14:33: [The Dojo] Chronita: i dont think it was ever meant to be a major org on its own as well
14:33: [The Dojo] Wingto: I use it occasionally, but it is a quiet little guild
14:33: [The Dojo] Chronita: just an alternative
14:34: [The Dojo] Timia: Yes.
14:34: [The Dojo] Wingto: I know that when I am logged in I also log in Wing in a chat window anyway
14:34: [The Dojo] Chronita: you can still help the dojo with an alt in another org, nothing wrong with that ;)
14:34: [The Dojo] Azurehawk: I don't think it's possible to "make" it be active. The only way is for us to play alts more
14:34: [The Dojo] Timia: Ageny has done so for awhile. ;)
14:34: [The Dojo] Wingto: I agree
14:34: [The Dojo] Chronita: right Azure
14:35: [The Dojo] Munkeezon: My thought with a "sister" org was as someone else brought up just now (Lovea) making an "alliance" with an established guild like OT Marines for example.  Like cities have "sister" cities
14:35: [The Dojo] Timia: Opening FotD to all require it to be alive. With leadership and purpose. It has none as of now.
14:35: [The Dojo] Chronita: right, we would have to change its whole purpose
14:36: [The Dojo] Timia: And I got no time or energy to be a leader. I'm a lousy one anyway. ;)
14:36: [The Dojo] Katjaka: all you have is time
14:36: [The Dojo] Chronita: and also there is the problem of no way to share org chat between orgs :/
14:37: [The Dojo] Timia: Yes. I suggets people read up on the 'Kick in the butt' thread on the forum and post a few ideas as to what can be done.
14:37: [The Dojo] Katjaka: yeah
14:37: [The Dojo] Chronita: thats a good idea timia
14:37: [The Dojo] Chronita: post for now, and we will discuss more next time
14:37: [The Dojo] Chronita: ok, any other topics?
14:38: [The Dojo] Timia: Also I will just point out that if you should need any agent buffs and Ageny is online, just holler. =)
14:38: [The Dojo] Syndah: I have one maybe
14:38: [The Dojo] Chronita: ok syndah
14:38: [The Dojo] Syndah: Someone mentioned last time about creating an implant bank. Is that something that's being done now?
14:39: [The Dojo] Chronita: well not really syndah :/
14:39: [The Dojo] Chronita: but i am willing to gather implant stuff for now if we want to do it
14:39: [The Dojo] Azurehawk: Well, We could always just keep our old implants and use them as hand-me-downs
14:39: [The Dojo] Wingto: I think everyones implants differ though dont they?
14:40: [The Dojo] Syndah: that works Azure, I thought a bank would be a bit more organized :)
14:40: [The Dojo] Syndah: so does their armor, Wing :)
14:40: [The Dojo] Chronita: also, pre-made implants will be in patch 14.4 - they are made for each profession and are available in ql 10,20,30 in all the basic shops :)
14:40: [The Dojo] Syndah: woot!
14:41: [The Dojo] Wingto: Thought they where supposed to be pretty bad though
14:41: [The Dojo] Timia: Though premade doesn't make them good thought. I saw some agent premade stuff. Ewww.. ;)
14:41: [The Dojo] Chronita: well it is something tho
14:41: [The Dojo] Munkeezon: In next patch clusters can be hacked out too
14:42: [The Dojo] Chronita: yes, disassembling implants is very nice on test ;)
14:42: [The Dojo] Timia: Yes, I look forward to see that. 
14:42: [The Dojo] Timia: Fixer only?
14:42: [The Dojo] Chronita: not really sure yet
14:42: [The Dojo] Chronita: everyone can do it right now
14:42: [The Dojo] Timia: Ah. =)
14:42: [The Dojo] Chronita: but the tool can also be eqipped, and has a fixer prof req
14:42: [The Dojo] Azurehawk: What skill does it use? Comp Lit?
14:42: [The Dojo] Timia: NP req I bet.
14:43: [The Dojo] Chronita: its B&E skill
14:43: [The Dojo] Timia: Oh.
14:43: [The Dojo] Chronita: need 950 for a ql200
14:43: [The Dojo] Munkeezon: It will be telling to see what they choose for pre-mades.  That will actually put some people off on wrong foot, or make classes a bit too alike if everybody follows that scheme.  Guess thats a bit out of topic though.
14:44: [The Dojo] Azurehawk: Should we set a time for those dungeon raids we planned?
14:44: [The Dojo] Chronita: well if anyone has ideas/would like to help with the implant bank pls post in the forums
14:44: [The Dojo] Syndah: will do, thanks Chronita
14:44: [The Dojo] Chronita: it is for after assembly Azure
14:45: [The Dojo] Chronita: ok, any other topics?
14:45: [The Dojo] Wingto: One question, are we allowed to recruit ma alts into the djoj
14:45: [The Dojo] Lovegod: laters, sorry for missing assembly
14:46: [The Dojo] Chronita: no wing, MA only
14:46: [The Dojo] Syndah: an MA alt would be MA :)
14:46: [The Dojo] Timia: Unless its another MA alt. ;)
14:46: [The Dojo] Chronita: and you have to be a recruiter as well
14:46: [The Dojo] Wingto: Yep I have an MA alt that I am going the bow route with
14:46: [The Dojo] Chronita: oh ok, hehe, yeah thats fine
14:47: [The Dojo] Wingto: Excellent, I'll be grabbing someone to recuit me later :)
14:47: [The Dojo] Chronita: ok if there is nothing else. . .
14:47: [The Dojo] Syndah: one more thing
14:47: [The Dojo] Chronita: ok syndah
14:47: [The Dojo] Syndah: I suggest that if the interruptions continue we move to the Arena so we can smack the rudies :)
14:47: [The Dojo] Epzzii: rofl
14:47: [The Dojo] Chronita: hehe
14:48: [The Dojo] Chronita: well the policy is just ignore
14:48: [The Dojo] Syndah: killing is more fun
14:48: [The Dojo] Azurehawk: I think we should have a Martial Arts tournament sometime..
14:48: [The Dojo] Chronita: and 1 or 2 veteran can ask them to leave
14:49: [The Dojo] Chronita: ok, lets end the assembly now with a /pray :)
14:49: [The Dojo] Chronita: thanks all for attending!
