Hopefully we'll be ready to share our finalized version of the main plot at the meeting.

I'm good to be there also. I updated my meebo tutorial with the date and times for this meeting. Can't wait!  

[Pixilated Envy]

I'm not sure how many people we could drag out of bed at 6 AM for a meeting-- but I will make sure to edit it to PM. biggrin (Thanks for pointing that out so that our global friends do not get confused!)

Thank you Angelisha-- I'm sure everyone will be eager to discuss the plot and it will be one of the key points in the order of business.

I dont know if all make it I'll try  

[Slytherin Lord]

I suggest maybe using military time, it makes it so much easier to determine between pm or am

Haha, I can be to this one! Will be there for sure. With stuff! I hope. smile

We need the guild organized more. It is even messier then when we started. How does the fund raising team who only has one captain have 3 headquarters (2 of which are in the same forum the community hub), How does some committees get to force things on others or onto room hosts is beyond me. We got people not even being able to have a voice, what ever happened to our wiki? did it vanish? We don't have any guild wide announcements (which are needed) We have bickering now happening (yes i know i am one of the culprits on this one also, i am sorry), We constantly have a change in co-host, also what that heck happened to Psycho sabs? She is our host and hasn't even posted for almost a month. Come one people ball is in 6-7 months we need to pull our act together and start working and organizing. The only committee that seems to be getting really anywhere is the plot. Poyudi is doing a great job at fund raising, look at how much he is shoveling in, he should be placed as a fund raising captain. So can we atleast get organized definitely starting by January 1st?

I'm excited to reveal it.
We've left an easy way for the room hosts to incorporate our main plot in their plots,
While still giving them a lot of freedom.
So far the members of our plot committee has been getting back to me with extremely positive feedback.
And when we posted it in the last meeting people liked it as well.
So fingers crossed that we can have main plot checked off our list of things to do by the end of this meeting.

I'm able to attend too! ^^ I just returned to my home country after an almost two day flight, so I apologize in advance if I arrive late to the meeting due to jet lag. It'll be a challenge to wake up at that time after 2 days upon returning. xd Thanks for choosing that date, btw. I won't be able to make it otherwise. ^^"

Also, I need Guild members to post their ideas and suggestions about the February Event in the thread before the meeting, so we can save time choosing/planning the events out instead of wasting time suggesting ideas again in the meeting.

Good to hear from everyone!

Regarding the wiki--
That was actually something that was handed down to Val while she was overseeing the guild. It seems more than obvious to me that should we continue to keep the wiki that we will need someone new to take over that. On the contrary, I'm excited to inform you guys that the reason the wiki was created was to be an added way to communicate and deliver announcements. The wiki was created prior to Gaia allowing for Guild Wide Announcements-- the greatest updates the guilds could possibly receive.

Just between you and I? I wonder if the update had anything to do with folks like us having to turn to other forms of communicating. With that in mind, we may no longer need the wiki as much as we formally did. If you disagree-- and think that the wiki should still remain in tact and have any interests in moderating you may post here to voice your interest!

Regarding the absent Sabs--
Reality can be a harsh mistress-- and where as I don't personally know where she is right now, I don't see any reason why we have to hold off progression while she is away. True Bliss is assisting Sabs, and I am of strong confidence that Sabs put Blissy in place for that reason. The real world can change at the drop of a hat, I know this first hand, so we have to remember that hte guild does not rely on only one person-- but the group as a whole.

As for the constant change of guild hosts? I don't think its changing enough. There has only been 3 thus far-- and if one can no longer tackle the role I think it is in everyone's best interest for their to be new ones appointed for the betterment of the guild.

As per the bickering--
Dustin hit the nail on the head. He's part of said bickering. And as the saying goes "Only You Can Prevent Forest Fires". We're always going to have disagreements-- I have had my share of them with many in this thread alone-- but I am confident that we have come to the realization that we all have the best interest of the Ball in mind but don't always see eye to eye on how to achieve the best interest. In the coming days I fore see that we will all be grouping off into teams where we will be less apt to argue with one another. Try to be as constructive as possible with one another-- and try not to get ones feelings hurt too easily. We all have to work together-- and some of us more so than others. If all else fails try to surround yourselves with people you like and avoiding those you don't.

As for guild organization--
As per the new year that is our goal. And as unfortunate as it is to report-- we really have a lot less than the 6-7 months pre mentioned. But seeing as how there is such a great response in this thread-- I am assured that is a sign of our new year's resolution in full swing. The committees and their progress is going to be one of the major focal points of the meeting. If their is a lot of strife regarding one committee having more pull and dominating over another-- then I may motion that a pow-wow of sorts be held after each committee has given their reports.

As far as moving Poy into the position of fund raising capt? Let us first give the current capt a chance-- and not to mention, a capt can only be as good as their weakest member.

You would be surprised by just how many people would be equally lost with the use of military time. :>
