13:04: [The Dojo] Chronita: OK, let's begin the assembly now, as always, with a /pray :) 13:04: [The Dojo] Ojzor: brt 13:04: [The Dojo] Ojzor: :P 13:04: [The Dojo] Chronita: Now for the mandatory “Rules of the Assembly” speech. . . ;) 13:05: [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. 13:05: [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. 13:05: [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. 13:06: [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 :) 13:06: [The Dojo] Chronita: End of Speech :) 13:06: [The Dojo] Tubarolean: ./pray :) 13:07: [The Dojo] Soulbanger: srry a quick question ? 13:07: [The Dojo] Chronita: Ok, we have a couple topics today, but mainly our council elections! So let's get to it :) 13:07: [The Dojo] Chronita: yes Soul? 13:08: [The Dojo] Soulbanger: Sannoz how in the name of jeebus did you manage to become an apprentice? 13:08: [The Dojo] Chronita: how about a /tell for that Soul ;) 13:09: [The Dojo] Soulbanger: k :-) 13:09: [The Dojo] Nubijuan: good question 13:09: [The Dojo] Chronita: OK, now for the first topic! Today we are to elect 4 new council members, as the mandates of Magellun, Scythewind, Punkmuffin, and Timia come to an end. Anyone who has full member standing (the Unit Member rank or higher) is able to run. Past council members are also allowed to re-run. 13:09: [The Dojo] Sannoz: was alot in camelont raids before nerf 13:09: [The Dojo] Sannoz: and my 6.2k dimach makes the day 13:10: [The Dojo] Refflection: Please keep your discussions for after assembly 13:10: [The Dojo] Chronita: Pls remember that applicants are not able to vote yet, and that the ppl running may vote for themselves if they wish ;) 13:10: [The Dojo] Sannoz: :p 13:10: [The Dojo] Chronita: Due to our ever-increasing size, becoming a Council member brings with it more responsibility than before. Council members are required to always be attentive to org issues (esp. org chat), to lend their support in any possible problem that might arise, must regularly check the council forums to post comments/vote on issues, and be willing to attend in-game council meetings when so planned. Therefore I ask that all candidates are certain that they can/are willing to accept these duties and carry them out before deciding to run for a seat. 13:10: [The Dojo] Chronita: If I may now have the names of the ppl that want to run for Council, we will begin :) 13:11: [The Dojo] Magellun: Magellun for Council! 13:11: [The Dojo] Punkmuffin: me 13:11: [The Dojo] Soulbanger: Soulnager 13:11: [The Dojo] Scythewind: I will be re-running :) 13:12: [The Dojo] Timia: me I guess. =) 13:13: [The Dojo] Chronita: ok, Mage, Punk, Scythe, Soul, and Timi 13:13: [The Dojo] Chronita: any others? 13:13: [The Dojo] Chronita: ok then :) 13:14: [The Dojo] Kinetko: sorry to be late all 13:14: [The Dojo] Chronita: OK, now this is how to vote. When we vote, we are actually only voting for 1 council member seat at a time, so we will go through the voting process 4 times total. Remember that applicants are not allowed to vote in council elections. 13:14: [The Dojo] Chronita: To vote, simply send me in a /tell the name of the person you think is most qualified to become a council member from the list of nominees. I will tally the votes, announce the winner, then start the next round of voting. Please be careful to avoid mistells during the voting process as well ;) 13:15: [The Dojo] Chronita: Neuro will now post the names for the first seat. . . 13:15: [The Dojo] Neurobatica: Candidates: Magellun, Punkmuffin, Scythewind, Soulbanger, Timia. 13:15: [The Dojo] Tabataia: Hi and sorry i am late 13:15: [The Dojo] Chronita: OK, send in your vote for the first seat now :) 13:16: [The Dojo] Scythewind: tell chron 13:16: [The Dojo] Soulbanger: GAH OMG door, afk 5 mins :-/ (i cant believe it :-( ) 13:17: [The Dojo] Chronita: ok, do i have all the votes? :) 13:17: [The Dojo] Ojzor: i dont know, do you? 13:18: [The Dojo] Chronita: ok, we have a tie for the first seat! :) 13:19: [The Dojo] Refflection: Wow! 13:19: [The Dojo] Magellun: Arena time! 13:19: [The Dojo] Thakilla5: lol 13:19: [The Dojo] Chronita: to save time I think we will bring them in together, so. . . 13:19: [The Dojo] Chronita: Congrats to Timia and Magellun! :) 13:19: [The Dojo] Ojzor: chicken 13:19: [The Dojo] Scythewind: grats! 13:19: [The Dojo] Magellun: >:D 13:19: [The Dojo] Thakilla5: Woot!! 13:19: [The Dojo] Flupper: grats you 2 13:19: [The Dojo] Punkmuffin: grats 13:19: [The Dojo] Kinetko: grats you two 13:19: [The Dojo] Katjaka: grats 13:19: [The Dojo] Ahurt: Gratz! 13:19: [The Dojo] Nubijuan: gratz 13:19: [The Dojo] Thakilla5: Grats timia and mage!!! 13:20: [The Dojo] Ojzor: grats 13:20: [The Dojo] Bloodwalker: gratz 13:20: [The Dojo] Sumdumkilla: grats 13:20: [The Dojo] Tabataia: grats 13:20: [The Dojo] Thaylia: grats : 13:20: [The Dojo] Nesual: Double Grats 13:20: [The Dojo] Axeman00: gratz 13:20: [The Dojo] Ahurt: and Chicken for Ojzor! 13:20: [The Dojo] Ojzor: yay 13:20: [The Dojo] Timia: Thanks. =) 13:21: [The Dojo] Chronita: ok, that means we are on the third seat :) names pls neuro? 13:21: [The Dojo] Neurobatica: Candidates: Punkmuffin, Scythewind, Soulbanger. 13:21: [The Dojo] Ninjadrew: heyguys am i late 13:21: [The Dojo] Chronita: send in your votes now :) 13:22: [The Dojo] Chronita: any last minute votes? :) 13:23: [The Dojo] Chronita: OK, the third council member elected today is. . . 13:24: [The Dojo] Chronita: Punkmuffin!

Magellun, you have the floor. 13:30: [The Dojo] Magellun: Okedoke Artichoke. 13:30: [The Dojo] Magellun: Now, as you know with the introduction of NW, Mass PvP is all the rage now. 13:31: [The Dojo] Magellun: If it were as simple as going out and beating things up, there would be no problem. Unfortunately, this is not the case. 13:31: [The Dojo] Magellun: Whenever anyone from a guild attacks another guild's tower, his own guild will drop to 25%, no matter what the circumstances. 13:32: [The Dojo] Magellun: Which can present some sticky situations. 13:32: [The Dojo] Magellun: As of late, there have been a few instances of Dojo members attacking towers at will. 13:32: [The Dojo] Magellun: Although I applaud your efforts (being a MA in PvP takes some guts)... 13:33: [The Dojo] Magellun: It's not always with repercussions. 13:33: [The Dojo] Magellun: Speaking for Kempo, we encourage you to enter PvP, and defend out allies, but you need to take into account other factors... 13:33: [The Dojo] Magellun: Such as "Do we have enough people around for defense if we're attacked?" or the like. 13:34: [The Dojo] Magellun: Basically, if you want to attack anyone, make sure you tell the guild first-off, that way we have a What's-Up of what's going on, and everyone can remain hunky-dory. 13:35: [The Dojo] Magellun: Always remember, when you attack, others can attack us. 13:35: [The Dojo] Magellun: So just exersize caution. 13:35: [The Dojo] Magellun: That's my spchiel. ./me gets off the soapbox. 13:36: [The Dojo] Tabataia: well said 13:36: [The Dojo] Flupper: i would like to make a comment about that. Think ppl would feel less like attacking when feeling like it if we arranged some more fights ourself. We havnt tried to get a new base in... a long time 13:36: [The Dojo] Axeman00: well done mage =) 13:36: [The Dojo] Neurobatica: thank you Magellun. And that's a great point to keep in mind when entering tower battles, the right caution and we are helpful, the wrong idea and Dojo could lose it's towers. 13:37: [The Dojo] Flupper: and the other day we could have had a level 2 base but no dojo ppl bothered to show for the attack 13:37: [The Dojo] Flupper: type 2. Not level 2 13:37: [The Dojo] Neurobatica: Okay, now for open topics. If you have a topic you would like to raise, please stand and I will call you in turn around the circle going to my left. 13:37: [The Dojo] Magellun: As for now, we don't have any Dojo-sponsored attacks, at least until we get a MA love patch, or we get a really REALLY good oppertunity. :P 13:38: [The Dojo] Neurobatica: Was there more on that last topic, Mage and Flup? 13:38: [The Dojo] Toastygiblet: i agree with flup 13:38: [The Dojo] Magellun: That's it for me. 13:39: [The Dojo] Neurobatica: Nesual, you have the floor 13:39: [The Dojo] Nesual: On the subject of Towers 13:39: [The Dojo] Nesual: Whilst on the way to a mission last night. I flew stright of the top of a Tower field at 25% 13:40: [The Dojo] Nesual: and it attacked me... not a pleasant experience to see "attacked by Massive Cannonn Turret" 13:41: [The Dojo] Nesual: Just thought I'd warn people you don't need to startthe fight to get attacked in a field 13:42: [The Dojo] Neurobatica: Thank you Nesual. I've been attacked by towers myself. :) 13:42: [The Dojo] Refflection: I recommend having "auto attack" off when going into territories like that 13:42: [The Dojo] Neurobatica: Ninjadrew, you have the floor 13:42: [The Dojo] Nesual: I was in my Yalm 13:42: [The Dojo] Ninjadrew: ok thank you and sorry for being late 13:42: [The Dojo] Ninjadrew: i was just curious if at some time we could organize some MA team missions.... 13:43: [The Dojo] Neurobatica: I recommend posting your proposal on the forums. I know FotD has a regular team going. 13:43: [The Dojo] Ninjadrew: nice to have different ppl from other guilds, but i would also like to get to know more ppl in the guild 13:43: [The Dojo] Kinetko: I"m always open for ma team missions :) just have to be in the right lvl for teaming 13:43: [The Dojo] Magellun: Typically, MA team missions happen when enough MAs are together around the same level. And yes, they do kick rear. :P 13:43: [The Dojo] Ninjadrew: ok i must not be on at the right time 13:44: [The Dojo] Ninjadrew: can i also ask when i the proper time to ask to be elevated to member? 13:44: [The Dojo] Soulbanger: sorry dojo police came to the door 13:44: [The Dojo] Soulbanger: lil sis was messin w/ me 13:44: [The Dojo] Neurobatica: The FotD forum has a thread talking about the regular team there. Go ahead and start one on the other forums for MAs if you'd like and suggest a time. :) 13:45: [The Dojo] Ninjadrew: i will def start a forum thread 13:45: [The Dojo] Neurobatica: Wonderful. Thank you, Ninjadrew! :) 13:45: [The Dojo] Neurobatica: Katjaka, you have the floor. :) 13:45: [The Dojo] Katjaka: have a little ?, when was the reorg. of FotD gonna happen? 13:46: [The Dojo] Neurobatica: Good question. We are thinking of doing that around assembly next week but will definitely be talking about it then. 13:46: [The Dojo] Katjaka: we could use some more recruiters, there isn't many online atm 13:47: [The Dojo] Sannoz: Sanrtoz would love to be a "recruiter" :D 13:47: [The Dojo] Sannoz: *santroz 13:47: [The Dojo] Katjaka: as do Katjakaz =) 13:47: [The Dojo] Neurobatica: You are right there too. We plan to do it around assembly so we can handle promotions right afterwards and make sure we have recruiters and everyone who is around is made member again. 13:47: [The Dojo] Tabataia: taba too (if i get him in ) :) 13:48: [The Dojo] Neurobatica: Any other open topics? 13:48: [The Dojo] Toastygiblet: i have a question 13:48: [The Dojo] Nubijuan: me 2 be recuriter 13:48: [The Dojo] Neurobatica: Go ahead, Toastygiblet 13:48: [The Dojo] Toastygiblet: if i start a qlt...what should i do to get him into the FoTD 13:48: [The Dojo] Toastygiblet: alt 13:49: [The Dojo] Tabataia: 1 should be enough :) 13:49: [The Dojo] Neurobatica: As long as you have a member in Dojo, all you have to do is ask a recruiter to invite you. 13:49: [The Dojo] Toastygiblet: thx 13:50: [The Dojo] Neurobatica: And that's it for open topics. Now, Kinetko is going to take names for the yalm drawing. Kinetko, you have the floor. 13:50: [The Dojo] Kinetko: I'm pretty sure that everyone present knows the rules for the bi-weekly yalm drawing, you must be a full member to enter and not have a yalm 13:50: [The Dojo] Kinetko: are there any present that would like to enter for next weeks drawing? 13:51: [The Dojo] Thaylia: me pls 13:51: [The Dojo] Kinetko: ok, I have ichidann and thaylia, anymore? 13:51: [The Dojo] Soulbanger: Hashy1 13:51: [The Dojo] Kinetko: Hashy1 is not present so cannot be entered 13:52: [The Dojo] Soulbanger: o k then ill bring him next time i guess :-/ 13:52: [The Dojo] Kinetko: any others othern then Ichidann and Thaylia? 13:52: [The Dojo] Ahurt: Can it be for my alt? 13:52: [The Dojo] Kinetko: sorry ahurt, but you must be present at this meeting with the char that would like to be entered 13:52: [The Dojo] Ahurt: ok 13:52: [The Dojo] Ahurt: np 13:52: [The Dojo] Kinetko: and next weeks meeting to claim the prize 13:53: [The Dojo] Kinetko: well since I had changed the rules to apply when only two people enter that both will win a yalm, next week I will award 7mil each to Ichidann adn Thaylia 13:53: [The Dojo] Kinetko: Thank you all for your attention 13:53: [The Dojo] Neurobatica: If they show up. :) 13:53: [The Dojo] Maleene: they'll show =) 13:53: [The Dojo] Kinetko: yes, pending if they are here at next weeks meeting 13:53: [The Dojo] Thaylia: you bet :) 13:54: [The Dojo] Ascorpion: i bet they do :) 13:54: [The Dojo] Neurobatica: And with that, let's end assembly today as always, with a /pray
