Thanks Fedaykin98 and Troll ... :)
Yup, no worries, it's good to bring stuff up and discuss possibilities of change.
Two cents isn't much ... but it is still two cents ... ... If two cents is not wanted, please send them to Tychicus: he is a money making machine.
Looks like next time I post a meeting reminder, I need to start a thread for people to toss in their 2 cents at the same time...
GREAT idea Luna. This at gives the guild a chance to at least get some other ideas on the table. Some really great ideas are never seen except by 1.
Just an FYI, I will be in Alaska next week. I should hopefully have internet whatever hotel I stay in though. Alaska is -3 hours to server though.
Unfortunately, I may not be able to attend this evening. Even if I do. I will probably only have about a half an hour to participate.
*IF* I can make it, I think we can pare these topics down significantly that a half an hour will suffice.
If not, oh well. In any case, I will post shortly an alternate date and time for a follow on meeting.
Edit: I just realized this message is probably a bit short and terse. I apologize. I have a pressing, stressful R/L matter that may or may not coincide with our meeting.
The things that we are on the hook for aren't going to be done in 30 minutes. If we're going to talk about one topic tonight, I believe that it needs to be the Election discussion. We have guild members who have been promised progress on this subject and we need to deliver. I seriously doubt we can finish this topic, but we could make progress.
Alternately I would support putting in place a follow up meeting and finalizing the agenda.
Is there anyway we can prioritze the stuff that we need Reap around for discussion on? I don't think he needs to be there for the Election discussion, other than to agree with how we're going to do it. After that, we can point out the concensus, and he can do the promotions when he's available to do so. I don't think we need alot of time, or hopefully shouldn't. Either that, or is it possible for Reap to appoint a speaker on his behalf for certain topics that can be covered afterwards?
My 2 coppers worth.
Reap made it obvious that he has some RL stress to deal with. I can only imagine that discussing elections without him will add to that stress. So instead, I suggest we either focus on the less pressing issues (couples runs, loot rules, GWJ coffee, etc.) or reschedule the meeting for a more convenient date.
*EDIT*
Once again, Luna beat me to the post.
Good points there Luna. I know some of the raiding discussion was pending on this last week and how well our current system was working. I think we faired well with killing HKM and all. More or less, I think Topic 3 is now becoming more of a grievances discussion, what problems do we have, how can they be fixed. Everything else, I think you are totally right on with.
Would you say that's fairly accurate Reap?
I am available for the meeting tonight if we still have it.
So definitely some importance to starting the meeting on time tonight then it seems
If our purpose is to add less stress overall, then why are we stressing about any of this I think we need to table the meeting until the GL can be there. Nothing good comes of talking without him, and many of the officers also do not like to be excluded. This was a problem you guys slammed me on before, why is it not an problem now? We are a guild of adults playing a game, we can be patient and wait until everyone can be at the meeting and it should be rescheduled.
I'd be okay with shelving it for another week if we wanted. I know my focus tonight is helping Neviril finish his Kara key in SV and BM, and I'm pretty sure a group of people would like to head into Kara and take out Netherspite.
If moving to next week means more people are available, then I am all for postponing till next week.
The situation in question has been mostly defused, so I'm back on for tonight.
Not sure if I can make it, will try, but been spending way too much time on WoW lately, and plus I have 3 or 4 nights of raiding this week, and wife aggro might get a little high. Might just take tonight/tomorrow night off.
I'm just going to go ahead and cancel the meeting this week. I've received several PM's indicating meeting fatigue and taking a break sounds like a good idea. Let's do some more research on voting methods and meet two weeks from now on the 4th.

Sadly (or not), on the 4th, I'll be forced to endure a 5-star hotel in French Quebec, forcing down fine red wines and rich Frog cuisine. Oh the humanity of it.
But I'm sure that reading Luna's minutes will make it seem like I was there with you...and not surrounded by the 75% female population of Bagotville, where every woman looks like a super model.

Dude....I am SO SORRY!!!
(Note: Speaking as an Albertan, you gotta understand that not only is there an East vs. West tension, but also a Canada vs. Quebec tension, I don't know of anyone that actually goes there other then because their SO wants to go shopping...)
EDIT: I'd gotta say, I'm relieved that we're postponing this meeting though, I could definitely use the breather before this hectic week starts up.

I went to the winter carnival in Quebec the year after I finished college. A finer display of public drunkeness I've never seen. I remember going to a parade that started at 9pm. We left at 3am and the parade was still going on. It was also about 15 below zero.
I never did find out the story line behind the Bonhomme?

Yeah, still just a snowman...
I was very relieved to see this meeting postponed; barring something being on fire, we shouldn't need more than one meeting every month or two, imho, and certainly not two weeks in a row. Kaylee misses me, ya know?
Would be a good idea. I plan to have Logan sit in for me when I am on my honeymoon.

Well that's kinda boring. From now on I'll refer to him as a homocidal snowman who went on an anti-American killing spree.
