Hello

Would someone be kind enough to post a complete transcript of last night's meeting with the King?

I'm told it was very exciting. :D

I really prefer to see things with my eyes than through hersay.

Also if you can manage it, could the transcript include the post meeting amble? There were some post meeting announcements I think.

Many thanks in advance!

Captn Norrington: very true
King Blackthorn: I was there that night, and I saw what was done.
King Blackthorn: My concern personally is less for the elections...
John Cabral: i love this fights lol
King Blackthorn: Even though I have my concerns about that as well...

X Jay X: that would be of ease to place
Thellaren: maybe a simple act can bring towns together for one day
Thellaren: all i ask is that i might go thru with it and the chance to speak to each mayor

Hello

Would someone be kind enough to post a complete transcript of last night's meeting with the King?

I'm told it was very exciting. :D

I really prefer to see things with my eyes than through hersay.

Also if you can manage it, could the transcript include the post meeting amble? There were some post meeting announcements I think.

Many thanks in advance!

Soar
you missed it Soar. I found it quite interesting even if Lew forgot about me and I didn't get to thank the king for posting my fish...

I did not forget, it was a calculated omission ;) I still have plans to eat that fish, stuffed or not :)
in all actuality, I had more than I usually have to say, and it totally slipped my mind to thank the King for putting that fish up.

Thank you for posting that transcript Bennu I missed a lot of the dialogue as I was trying to focus on the person who was speaking at the moment.. It was good to re-read, opened my eyes to a few things..

Last night made me really consider not continuing with this.

Wish some people understood I'm in character, and the things I ask for aren't actual things I expect to get, but just props in my story to show the type of person my character is.

Lioness Heart: U b#$#% all the time

aye there is that danger, but I do not think anyone matched those two together Yosef..

Solus, please do not leave the council, most of us realize that you are staying spot on with your character, and appreciate your role-play of that character.. I know I have been critical in the past but have grown to understand it. I do not think some of us realize that it is a Role-play driven system, and not as much a gimmie this or that for my city system. If utilized in the correct fashion, Bennu will add stuff to facilitate player driven story lines.. within reason of course.. And to liberally throw around the favoritism word is detrimental, and very dangerous, I don't think people grasp fully the ramifications of this path..

the asking for stuff and then getting upset when it is not instantly granted is out of line. Take for instance the trash cans and cleanup officer.. these items I would assume are a bit out of his reach, and all he can do is send the request up the line so to speak. To compare them with Brit is ridiculous as Bit and new haven have had them from the start of the system, and Luna has a trashcan as well.. To assume they are there simply because Solus is Governor of Brit is ludicrous, because they have been in Brit for far longer than the current election system.

I'm not sure if most of the new faces realize it or not, but sometimes the King has to push meetings forward, he has a set time limit, and cannot listen to our concerns for hours on end. What may seem like an ignore to you may be a need to hasten the council forward to fit in a time constraint. It should not be taken personally..

Regards,
Lew

^This, all day long.

I would also like to add, that Governors asking for trash cans has specifically been mentioned by Mesanna as not the business of the King. I'd like to come up with a better analogy... but there is no better one than, "Asking a King for a Trash Can." :p

Everything else was addressed on the Atlantic EM Forum side and is now stickied at the top as previously linked.

Solus you cant leave the council-you have become um how do I say this-like a fixture-your role play is why I attend- a bowl of popcorn and the story line at the council- it doesnt get any better than that

I do have to add tho after Bennu posting the text like that, seems to me theres alot of disrespect? Tons of talking in the back ground

I believe if the King has the floor, then it should be quiet, maybe a gasp or a sigh would work until its your turn to talk. Unless the story arcs has been pre arranged for a ruckus

FYI I hate missing the meeting but its going to take a week for my graphics card :{

The Meeting started out well enough with some very good ideas coming forth and some new rp.

Thank you for posting those logs. It cleared up a lot of confusion.


I think everything useful thing I could add to this discussion has already been said, with the exception of a couple of points I feel are very important.


There were several new particpants at this meeting, it was the first of a new term after all. It appears that a lot of things may have been unknown to these new members. The focus on roleplay, the time restraints that require the King to cut short discussions that are more argumentive than productive, and the particular difficulties connected with trash can placement. These are familiar if you've been following the system, but may not be so obvious to first timers. Reading the logs I can see most fires of frustration were started by this problem, and then fanned by knee-jerk reactions and our human tendancy to assume the worst in people.


The document posted by Bennu certainly clears things up, but in fairness to those who felt wronged by this meeting, it was posted after the fact. It would really help if we could put that document somewhere much more visible, both in game at the meeting and elsewhere on these forums. The EM forum is not as well visited. Those guidelines really are required reading for anyone attending, governors and citizens alike, and we can't really fault new comers for not knowning them if we don't make them cearly visible.


Finally, I'd like to stress the point Lew posted about making accusations of favoritism.


Please, please, never do this lightly. In our history, we have had three game enhancement programs, similar to the current EMs, that have been severly damaged and even destroyed due to claims of favoritism. This round of EMs has been amazingly careful to avoid the same fate and have done an excellent job.
As you can see in this instance, the claims stemmed from something as simple as not understanding all factors of the issue. It would have been a great shame to see either the election system or the EMs themselves tarnished by this. So please, use the old wisdom and take a day or two before making strong accusations of foul play.

Thank you for posting the entire text of the meeting EM Bennu and for the Guide on the EM Forum. It helps us greatly understand what we can or cannot expect.

Solus, I sincerely hope that you continue with the Council. It has been fun and interesting to have you on it.

I don't usually post full journal shots but I thought it was important to let everyone see who was a positive force and who was a negative force.

I hope everyone realizes we have been given a really great opportunity to enrich our world. It will stand or fail on our behaviour which was at a terrible shameful low point last night.

If you have no intention of respecting the King or the process, a lot of people's hard work is going to be for nothing and this opportunity is going be wasted.

Being a Governor is not an easy task and we are trying our best to figure out ways to keep people interested and have fun. Judging a Governor based solely on how many events they have or haven't had doesn't account for other things they may be involved in. ie RP stories, pitching in at other events etc. Also, this opportunity cannot rest solely on the Governor's shoulders because if you as citizens do not show up or get involved, its very hard to have a successful & fun council.

I saw very positive things in the mention of Player towns finally being included as well as the Harvest Day hunt with the King. Those are things I am very excited about. I invite all Citizens of Atlantic to get involved with the Cities & the Governors and lets have some fun with this.

Just please remember to show some respect everyone involved.

Well, I don't think we could really do much worse. We can only go up from here. Especially with the primer you posted.
I have been thinking about posting it for about a month, but we had been doing so well. But in reality its my fault, I should have typed something up from the very beginning.

Lets just move on with no hard feelings, and have some fun... which is the whole point :)
