14:03: [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. . . ;) 14:04: [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. 14:04: [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. 14:04: [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. 14:05: [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 :) 14:05: [The Dojo] Chronita: End of Speech :) 14:06: [The Dojo] Chronita: Ok, a few topics and a couple announcements today :) 14:06: [The Dojo] Chronita: First I would like to announce to everyone our 2 newest Council members: Saathi and Thakilla5! :) 14:06: [The Dojo] Tabataia: WOOOT 14:07: [The Dojo] Thaylia: wooot :) 14:07: [The Dojo] Neurobatica: Welcome! 14:07: [The Dojo] Nesual: Grats :) 14:07: [The Dojo] Fratzi: gratz 14:07: [The Dojo] Dalsa: Gratz:) 14:07: [The Dojo] Saathi: thanks all :) 14:07: [The Dojo] Spipac2: gratz 14:07: [The Dojo] Cutephyter: welcome =) 14:08: [The Dojo] Chronita: Next council application period will be around the 1st of December, so be on the lookout for that if you are interested :) 14:08: [The Dojo] Dojonet: Magikca ( level 15 Nano-Technician ) logged on 14:08: [The Dojo] Dojonet: [Friends of the Dojo] Magikca: hi guys 14:08: [The Dojo] Chronita: And a big "Thank You!" from me to both new council members for their willingness to serve :) 14:09: [The Dojo] Saathi: :) 14:09: [The Dojo] Chronita: Secondly, I'd like to offer up a "Welcome Back!" to our VP Neurobatica - we missed you! :) 14:09: [The Dojo] Tabataia: yup that true :) 14:09: [The Dojo] Thaylia: you bet we did 14:10: [The Dojo] Nesual: Big Hugs 14:10: [The Dojo] Dalsa: sure did 14:10: [The Dojo] Neurobatica: =) 14:10: [The Dojo] Dojonet: Magikca logged off 14:10: [The Dojo] Tabataia: get the soap redy Neuro :) 14:10: [The Dojo] Tabataia: ready 14:10: [The Dojo] Neurobatica: I've restocked! 14:10: [The Dojo] Cutephyter: wb neuro! 14:10: [The Dojo] Tabataia: cool :) 14:10: [The Dojo] Chronita: Just dont look at your Inbox on your desk for a while ;) 14:10: [The Dojo] Dojonet: Arnimane ( level 53 Martial Artist ) logged on 14:11: [The Dojo] Chronita: Ok, now onto the topics 14:11: [The Dojo] Arnimane: sorry i am late, i will be right there 14:11: [The Dojo] Chronita: First I am happy to say that Dojo roster clean-up went very well Thursday evening :) 14:12: [The Dojo] Tabataia: ohoh what out new number ? 14:13: [The Dojo] Chronita: All applicants that did not meet the requirements to be retained were kicked from the org - Our total roster count is now 163, with our average member level now a surprising 99 :) 14:13: [The Dojo] Tabataia: not bad :) 14:14: [The Dojo] Chronita: To follow-up on the cleaning, a new thread is on the general forum detailing what people must do if they were kicked from the org but wish to return. 14:15: [The Dojo] Chronita: Basically they just need to find me for a re-invitation, then they are considered a new applicant again and must follow the steps for membership as usual. 14:16: [The Dojo] Chronita: So if anyone approaches you wondering why they were kicked, either refer them to the forums or myself ;) 14:16: [The Dojo] Chronita: Second topic deals with the next phase of our fall-cleaning here ;) 14:17: [The Dojo] Chronita: I will now turn my attention to FotD and its roster 14:17: [The Dojo] Chronita: For FotD, I have created a thread on the forums for everyone to post all alts they have as members there. 14:18: [The Dojo] Chronita: I'll leave the thread for about 2 weeks, then afterwards any FotD member not accounted for will be kicked. 14:19: [The Dojo] Chronita: Again, this thread is already on the forums, and I also have a new report on Dojonet about it. Please be sure and post your characters soon, and encourage others in the org to do the same. 14:20: [The Dojo] Chronita: This clean-up is much more dependant on your action than the Dojo one, so I hope everyone will be able to do their part :) 14:21: [The Dojo] Chronita: Ok, before we proceed to open topics, I'd like to field any comments or question about either of the clean-up actions :) 14:22: [The Dojo] Chronita: . . .Or not hehe, anything at all? 14:23: [The Dojo] Arnimane: Not here 14:23: [The Dojo] Tabataia: not here either : 14:23: [The Dojo] Chronita: Ok then, we will move to open topics 14:23: [The Dojo] Dalsa: not having any alts, this does not really affect me 14:23: [The Dojo] Arnimane: Don't you get bored?
