I will be arriving from Texas on the evening of April 21. Hudson will be flying in from Michigan that evening as well -- Raleigh airport. We plan to rent a car on the 22nd and drive to Logan's, Akroma's, Tasselhoff's --- not sure which. Party for a few days, leave on Sunday, the 25th.

The Council of HONOR meeting was called to order at 12:00 noon. Members in attendance were Emperor Logan, Magistrate Kodo, Senator of Arcane Earwen, Senator of War Akroma, Senator of Genesis Lora De Blood, and Head of State Kaatya. A quorum was declared and the meeting proceeded. UNIFORMS At the suggestion of Senator Akorma and with the full agreement of those present, it was decided to open the floor to discussion of this topic before any Resolution was formed. Senator Akroma recommended that we adhere to the color patterns established in the past and that the ceremonial attire for Senators be a white or purple robe with colored cloaks signifying the house each Senator represented and that each Senator carry a similar staff. She noted that it has become almost impossible to do the armor. Senator Lora agreed on the ceremonial garb but stated that a sash and apron should always be worn. If the attire does not allow sash, it should at least be carried with you. Emperor Logan stated that only a doublet or a surcoat block the wearing of a sash. So the uniform should be a robe, apron, cloak of house color, and sash of house color. The sash will be hidden by the robe which is why the cloak should be of the house color. Senator Earwen suggested a white robe, apron, cloak, sash, and staff for ceremonial purposes, with the non-ceremonial attire set as sash and apron. Emperor Logan received an urgent call for his assistance. The formal proceedings were suspended until he could return. During his absence, the Council members discussed combinations for the uniforms and tried on several samples, including new colors for some Senate houses. The meeting was called back to order upon the return of Emperor Logan. After viewing the Senators in differing forms of attire, Emperor Logan entered a Resolution to amend the Codex to set the ceremonial uniform of Senators as a white robe, cloak of house color, purple half apron, sash of house color, hat of house color, and a staff. Senator Lora seconded his motion. Kaatya asked what type of staff the Emperor had in mind. Senator Lora mentioned the carrying of a scepter rather than a staff. Emperor Logan commented that scepters signified royalty, kings. He felt it not appropriate for the Senators to carry one. Emperor Logan amended his Resolution to specify an energy black staff be carried as part of the ceremonial uniform. Senator Lora seconded the motion and a vote was taken. All Senators voted Aye, the Head of State voted Nay. The motion passed with better than a 2/3 majority vote. Senator Earwen entered a motion that the color for the House of Arcane be changed to charcoal and that the color for the House of Genesis be changed to dark blue. Senator Lora seconded this motion. Senator Akroma noted that black is the color of the House of Espionage and that there might be a conflict with these colors being too similar to each other. Senator Lora agreed with Akroma's point and stated she would find another color for Genesis. Senator Earwen then withdrew her motion until the next Council of HONOR meeting. Emperor Logan entered a motion to delay the selection of House colors until the next meeting. Senator Lora seconded his motion, the motion carried with unanimous vote of approval. Emperor Logan advised that those seeking new colors to find one that ties into the House's skill set. GUILD LORE Emperor Logan made a motion to appoint Colin Mor as the guild's official Lore Keeper because of his vast knowledge of guild and shard lore. Senator Lora seconded this motion. Kaatya spoke in support of a Council member being named to work with Colin Mor on this project. Emperor Logan amended his motion to appoint Senator Earwen to partake in this endeavor with Colin Mor. Senator Lora seconded the amended motion and it carried with a unanimous vote of approval. Emperor Logan commented that he wold like to see a minimum of one Lore topic a month on the Forums, old stories revisited, etc. More than one monthly would be even better. There being no further discussion, the meeting was adjourned at 2:00 p.m.

I have one of the white century plants that I'll donate to the cause. I found another one for sale at Mall of Brittania for 99k --- didn't buy it, wasn't sure if you wanted to invest that much. I also have several of the pink campions on hand, and two yellow ones as well. I have one purple campion and two bright purple campions. No blues, sorry. And no luck on the black campion either, but I do have a black bulrush plant you are welcome to use. If memory serves, the lances we crafted for the event point left.

Have we heard how many signed up (worldwide)? Has Blizzard released any info on it? Am I asking these questions too soon? Happy Birthday!

Erm ..... poker? *begins to fidget* Guess I'd best increase my budget for this trip, eh? Or will ya'll do the gentlemanly thing and let the gals win a few?

Hadrian!

I have some extra translocation powder I can give you to tide you over. I can also help show you the quest so that you can keep yourself well stocked and never have to worry about running short. For HONOR and Empire! Kaatya

Well, I have no idea about the cannon and catapult deeds. Point of clarification, please --- do we place our own vendors (with the proceeds going to the Empire) or do we supply the goods for vendors placed by you? Either way, I'll start off with the Bowcraft and Plant vendor. I'll include some Repair Deeds on the Bowyer as well. If these vendors are going to be situated in Olympus, is there a dress code you'd like us to adopt? Just say when and I'll get working on those two vendors to begin with.

Not exactly sure which # you are looking for, Balandar. We have 133 total members, 118 veteran members. But several of us have multiple characters in the guild, I have a total of eleven in PGoH. So, are you looking for the # of players or characters?

The Council of HONOR meeting was called to order at 8:00 pm. Members in attendance were Emperor Logan, Magistrate Kodoz, Senator of Arcane Earwen, Senator of War Akroma, Senator of Genesis Lora De Blood, and Head of State Kaatya. A quorom was declared and the meeting proceeded. APPOINTMENT OF HERALD Emperor Logan entered the following motion: In the filling of the Herald position, I propose that the Head of State Kaatya be named Herald with the alternate being Earwen. Only one will post the minutes and they will be logged under the News Section of our ethereal boards. The motion was seconded by Lora De Blood and received a unanimous vote of approval with no discussion. MEETING SCHEDULE Senator Earwen offered the following motion: I propose that we conduct meetings every two weeks and that each member be polled by the Chair beforehand as to the days they are available to hold this meeting and the day with the best attendance be chosen. The motion was seconded by Lora De Blood and received a unanimous vote of approval after discussion by the Council members. SENATOR OF ESPIONAGE Senator Akroma made the following motion: I propose that we table this until we have a suitable candidate. The motion was seconded by Logan and received a unanimous vote of approval with no discussion. GUILD MEETINGS Emperor Logan entered the following motion: I request the following be adopted at all weekly guild meetings: ......1) Meetings will begin promptly at 7:00 pm Eastern time. There will be no waiting for stragglers. ......2) No side chatter; Guardians are to use party system or ICQ. ......3) Guardians wishing to speak will raise their hands and wait for recognition from the leader of the meeting before speaking. Once recognized, the Guardian will move to the center aisle to speak. The Guardian will *yield* when done speaking. ......4) There will be no spell casting, sparring, or other disruptive behavior during the meeting. ......5) The meetings will be limited to one hour in duration if at all possible. The motion was seconded by Lora De Blood and received a unanimous vote of approval after discussion by the Council members. ALLIANCES Emperor Logan entered the following motion: I motion that Kaatya and Sojourn spearhead the efforts towards rebuilding our alliance with VK and they make new motions to ally with A^E. The terms of alliance I leave open to discussion. Just keep in mind that first and foremost, their beliefs and the beliefs of their allies should hold close to ours. The motion was seconded by Lora De Blood and received a unanimous vote of approval after discussion by the Council members. RESOURCE MANAGEMENT Emperor Logan offered the following: I motion this Council for the following: All existing guild resources be counted and documented. Once a sufficient storage spot has been agreed upon, all resources will be moved to this one location. All resources stored at this facility will be placed in ways that anyone can add to the piles, thus ending the need to pass along the items to several members. A monthly update will be posted on the forums like our Quartermasters Report. That way, everyone knows what is there. I ask that two Council members be allowed to access the items; one being the Senator of Trades, the other being the Senator of War. The Trades Senator will be responsible for all duties concerning resources with the one exception of the Senator of War issuing out the new recruit bags. Discussion: Senator Lora De Blood: I agree that it should be put where everyone can easily donate. I see no reason why everyone on the Council should not have access to it. I will co-own everyone to the "Treasury" building formerly owned by Logan. Senator Earwen: Regarding distribution, I think a fair market value should be assigned to resources and offered for sale to the guild members with the proceeds used to fund guild properties. Head of State Kaatya: Logan, do you accept these amendments to your motion? Emperor Logan: Each member of Senate will be allowed access to resources. Any funds procured from the selling of resources shall be used to help the guild endeavors, e.g. guild houses, website, and the Emperor/Senate account fund. The amended motion was seconded by Lora De Blood and further discussion ensued. Head of State Kaatya: I am not in favor of accepting donated resources and then selling them back to our members. Rather, I would like a percentage of our resources put on vendors for sale to the general public. Senator Earwen: The Codex calls for gems to be donated and I think we need to encourage people to loot the gems on their kills and donate them to the guild. I just want us to help with guild costs. Senator Lora De Blood: I told Borg to sell gems to help cover guild costs, but I agree with collecting and donating gems. Senator Akroma: I have a large cache of gems I've been saving. Borg mentioned that he wanted us to use the Toy Shoppe as a vendor location. With that in mind, why not use that as our storehouse as well. Emperor Logan: The Trades house is right behind Toy Shoppe. Let's use Trades for storage. Borg owns the Toy Shoppe (response to question from Kaatya). Emperor Logan: I amend my motion to not sell resources to Guardians, to use a percentage of our resources on vendors, to use the Trades house for storage, to use the Toy Shoppe for vendors, and to dedicate the proceeds to cover guild costs. The amended motion was seconded by Akroma and received a unanimous vote of approval. Having reached the two hour time limit, it was decided that the topics of Uniforms and Guild Lore would be placed on the next agenda. The meeting was adjourned at 10:00 pm.

Congratulations, Leah and Kal'lason!

Happy Birthday to our Senator of War! I haven't met that many people that I share a birthday with (Linda Blair won't return my phone calls) .... and here I find one in my HONOR family! Akroma, they don't come any better than you. I hope you have a wonderful birthday! Happy Birthday!

ICQ 176782236 Helpful Hint: Charlie is a she, not a he.

Best wishes to you, Rusty. I hope this one is complication-free.

Happy Birthday, Balandar!

Congratulations, Hudson! You have a talent for meeting and befriending the people of Sosaria. I am sure this will stand you in good stead in your recruiting efforts. Kudos to Akroma for recognizing this and putting it to good use. Please know you can count on your family to help you in your endeavors. I'd be happy to provide a bit of Codex tutoring, should the need arise. For HONOR and Empire! Kaatya

Congratulations, Tasselhoff! We are most fortunate to have such a natural leader step up and fill Akroma's boots. (Size 6, Petite) Your vast knowledge of Battle Tactics, the terrain of Sosaria, the strengths and weaknesses of its many creatures, and your enjoyment of the hunt has been and will continue to be a great asset to the Empire. For HONOR and Empire! Kaatya
