[15:29:57] [King Blackthorn]: I believe it is time to begin.
[15:30:20] [King Blackthorn]: Thank you to those who have made time in their busy scheudles today.
[15:30:34] [King Blackthorn]: though I am saddened to see four towns unrepresented.
[15:30:37] [Nebiki]: i think talia is stuck out side
[15:31:32] [King Blackthorn]: We have a good bit to cover today so let us begin.
[15:31:53] [King Blackthorn]: First off, as many of you have noticed, there have been a few changes here since our last meeting.
[15:32:28] [King Blackthorn]: The chair for the Governor of Bucanneer's Den has been removed and they are no longer represented on the council.
[15:32:51] [King Blackthorn]: The treachery of Governor Marcus Rotgut was revealed to all.
[15:33:01] [King Blackthorn]: The theft of the world-gem.
[15:33:12] [King Blackthorn]: The revelation that he was the reviled Shadow himself.
[15:33:40] [King Blackthorn]: all eventually led to his own death at the hands of the Demon's he played with.
[15:34:12] [King Blackthorn]: Due to the theft here of all places, I have requested that a portion of the King's Guard be reassigned to this council.
[15:34:31] [King Blackthorn]: they will stand guard here to protect the chambers and items within.
[15:35:06] [King Blackthorn]: It is with regret that I have learned that the people of Bucaneer's Den are happy to be free of the crown again.
[15:35:29] [King Blackthorn]: it seems their membership here was only to learn more of us to take advantage of us.
[15:35:52] [King Blackthorn]: But now, that is all in the past.
[15:36:33] [King Blackthorn]: and we are left with the physical representations of the Virtuous Principles corrupted.
[15:37:32] [King Blackthorn]: Now, it is up to us to determine how to cleanse the Bell, the Book, and the Candle.
[15:38:04] [King Blackthorn]: I have put some research into it, but alas I have not found a solution as of yet.
[15:38:29] [King Blackthorn]: The next item pending is the King's Contest.
[15:38:49] [King Blackthorn]: I believe that the current standings put Lady Sara Dale in the lead for the grand prize.
[15:39:03] [Sara Dale]: Thats me
[15:39:06] [Flair]: ohhh
[15:39:53] [King Blackthorn]: Lady Dale has submitted a 191 stone Summer Dragonfish.
[15:40:04] [King Blackthorn]: quite an accomplishment. *smiles*
[15:40:10] [TjloSjhion]: shes cool
[15:40:15] [Sara Dale]: It was hard work getting past the dragons
[15:40:24] [The Gooch]: atta girl
[15:40:30] [tick]: yay!
[15:40:53] [King Blackthorn]: The smallest fish is a 7 stone fish caught by Sir Malloc.
[15:41:05] [York]: was it cute?
[15:41:08] [The Gooch]: very impressive none the less!
[15:41:09] [York]: lol
[15:41:35] [King Blackthorn]: and the Largest Crab or Lobster is a rare Blue Lobster submitted by Garfield.
[15:41:45] [Sara Dale]: Yea Garfield
[15:41:48] [tick]: woot
[15:42:05] [King Blackthorn]: We are about 7 hours away from the end of the contest. Please get your final entries turned in
[15:42:12] [King Blackthorn]: by Midnight US Eastern Time.
[15:42:22] [Hoffs]: If you want to know about Sara's struggle to land the mighty fish, read her forthcoming book...
[15:42:30] [Hoffs]: "The old woman and the sea"
[15:42:34] [tick]: ouch
[15:42:35] [Flair]: really.. sounds like a good read
[15:42:40] [aulbrey]: i caught a flair does that count? *giggles*
[15:42:48] [King Blackthorn]: I have been notified that the magics used to build Castle Blackthorn may prevent the winner from being displayed there.
[15:43:00] [Sara Dale]: awww
[15:43:05] [King Blackthorn]: if that is the case, then the winner will be displayed here in the Governor's Council Chambers.
[15:43:14] [TjloSjhion]: woo
[15:43:14] [Sara Dale]: What about the awards house?
[15:43:29] [King Blackthorn]: but every effort will be made to display it in the castle if it is possible.
[15:43:44] [Kelmo]: There is that nice spot near Britain Moongate...
[15:44:05] [King Blackthorn]: My intent is for the Awards house to be the final display place after a reasonable time at the castle or here.
[15:44:18] [Sara Dale]: nice
[15:44:23] [King Blackthorn]: I hope everyone has enjoyed the contest.
[15:44:27] [Sara Dale]: I already have shoes there
[15:44:27] [King Blackthorn]: *smiles*
[15:44:35] [Sara Dale]: its been a blast
[15:44:57] [King Blackthorn]: And now, let us hear from our Governors and learn of our cities.
[15:45:14] [King Blackthorn]: Lord York? Are you settled into your new home?
[15:45:31] [York]: yes, i have settled in well
[15:45:43] [York]: Would you like me to speak first?
[15:45:50] [King Blackthorn]: Please do. *smiles*
[15:45:55] [York]: Ty
[15:46:12] [York]: Upon arrival in Skara Brae I could not help but notice signs of a rift in the citizens.
[15:46:20] [York]: This is not too surprising since there has been a lack of direction for a short time.
[15:46:26] [aulbrey]: its empty for the reals this time
[15:46:29] [York]: The Mayor was found drunken early in the morning,
[15:46:37] [York]: with the excuse that “he was just sampling…. Skara’s finest export.”
[15:46:56] [York]: The Town Guards though, have proved to be very nimble and
[15:47:16] [York]: willing to strike down a threat to the town.
[15:47:36] [York]: Despite the initial set back with the mayor…
[15:47:43] [York]: I have been pleased to see that the citizens of Skara Brae are among
[15:47:47] [York]: the most passionate and spiritual.
[15:47:56] [York]: It will be a great honor to serve this community.
[15:48:03] [York]: On other town matter fiscally the town seems on track;
[15:48:11] [York]: A trade deal with the Bardic Collegium allowing citizen to benefit from a faster casting bonus.
[15:48:26] [King Blackthorn]: well done
[15:48:34] [York]: This was provided by a few players, mainly Hoffs, Spargo, Tina Tink, and Skara’s budget.
[15:48:41] [York]: I am still not convinced the trade deals are a fair deal,
[15:48:48] [York]: I am still not convinced the trade deals are a fair deal,
[15:48:56] [York]: but the citizens support them and I will do as they wish.
[15:49:06] [York]: I have also started a Subsidy program
[15:49:12] [York]: to help encourage general use items to be stocked at a fair price.
[15:49:21] [York]: This includes subsidizing vendors and funding upcoming merchants (resource gathers).
[15:49:28] [York]: A promo is being put together so citizens can easily find these vendors.
[15:49:34] [York]: The only request that the citizens of Skara Brae have made was
[15:49:40] [York]: the matter of acknowledging the settlement of Gilfane.
[15:49:43] [York]: ...
[15:49:53] [York]: All other town matters seem to be in order;
[15:50:09] [York]: Thank you
[15:50:15] [York]: that is all
[15:50:18] [King Blackthorn]: I am quite frustrated that the monument for Gilfane has not been completed as of yet.
[15:50:29] [The Gooch]: among other settlements...
[15:50:31] [King Blackthorn]: I have learned not to pay the contractors in advance again.
[15:50:53] [York]: hah they can be crafty
[15:50:56] [York]: ....
[15:51:03] [King Blackthorn]: I shall continue efforts there to see that it is eventually completed.
[15:51:16] [King Blackthorn]: as well as the one for Barter Town.
[15:51:28] [York]: Ty M'Lord
[15:51:39] [King Blackthorn]: For Barter Town, the requested trees are growing nicely, but are not yet ready for planting at their permanent home.
[15:51:53] [The Gooch]: Aye thank you, King
[15:51:55] [Ladra]: yes, we want a big one!
[15:52:09] [King Blackthorn]: Lady Kattasrophe? How fares Moonglow?
[15:52:24] [Kattasrophe]: I do have a small report if I may. My lord
[15:52:28] [Luka Melehan]: *whispers* trees?
[15:53:00] [King Blackthorn]: Please proceed Kattasrophe
[15:53:30] [Kattasrophe]: I would like to start off today by saying thank you to all of the Moonglow Citizens
[15:53:39] [Kattasrophe]: Who have given me the oppertunity to be their Governor.
[15:53:55] [Kattasrophe]: I have enjoyed being here for them.
[15:54:13] [Kattasrophe]: The citizens of Moonglow have donated generously this Month.
[15:54:23] [Kattasrophe]: I would like to say a special thank you to the following people
[15:54:35] [Kattasrophe]: Ravn and Andreas Cross, Arminda
[15:54:45] [Kattasrophe]: Katniss, Talia, Robert the Brute,
[15:54:57] [Kattasrophe]: Sara Dale, DeadBob, Norman Bates, and Governor York
[15:55:01] [Talia]: WoooooOOOOOooooo!!!
[15:55:24] [York]:
[15:55:26] [Kattasrophe]: Because of the generously donations of the citizens
[15:55:37] [Kattasrophe]: I was able to open up a trade deal for the Bardiac Collegium
[15:55:51] [Kattasrophe]: For the citizens that have a sword or a bow
[15:56:04] [Kattasrophe]: I will switch betweeen the Bardiac Collegium and the Assians
[15:56:26] [Flair]: You feel sober.
[15:56:31] [Kattasrophe]: Ravn Cross is also building a house that has an Arena in it for everyone
[15:56:42] [TjloSjhion]:
[15:56:44] [Kattasrophe]: Although he may not be here he wanted me to say
[15:56:50] [Kattasrophe]: Everyone is welcome there
[15:57:08] [Kattasrophe]: On April the 5th at 3pm Eastern
[15:57:19] [Kattasrophe]: I will be holding a Carnival in Moonglow
[15:57:27] [Kattasrophe]: Everyone is welcome to come and join the fun.
[15:57:39] [Kattasrophe]: As far as things I would like to accomplish
[15:57:47] [Talia]: yay!
[15:57:52] [Kattasrophe]: I am looking forward to restoring the zoo
[15:57:58] [Kattasrophe]: there is no animals in there.
[15:58:05] [Luka Melehan]: sounds like fun
[15:58:05] [Shayla Keylley]: sad
[15:58:08] [Kattasrophe]: and also,
[15:58:09] [tick]:
[15:58:16] [Kattasrophe]: Taking care of the Mongbat infestation in Moonglow
[15:58:25] [Talia]: but but but
[15:58:37] [Kattasrophe]: That is all I have to report M'Lord
[15:58:41] [Fat Cat]: no animals?
[15:58:42] [Talia]: They're part of our economy!
[15:58:55] [Flair]: question?
[15:58:59] [Kattasrophe]: yes?
[15:59:04] [Flair]: we need to donate animals to your moonglow zoo then
[15:59:10] [Kattasrophe]: Indeed

[15:59:38] [Kattasrophe]: anything you would like to see in there.
[15:59:46] [Luka Melehan]: weasels are a myth darlin'
[15:59:55] [Kelmo]: I saw a weasel!
[15:59:57] [York]: If you import Timber wolves onto the island they will kill your mongbats Katt
[15:59:59] [TjloSjhion]: thingsman
[16:00:09] [aulbrey]: can we put husbands in the zoo?
[16:00:10] [York]:
[16:00:15] [Kattasrophe]: I just may do that York
[16:00:16] [Fat Cat]: will there be tuna there?
[16:00:19] [Luka Melehan]: lol
[16:00:31] [Kattasrophe]: hmm Aulbrey I dont think that would be very wise.
[16:00:35] [King Blackthorn]: Thank you Lady Kattasrophe
[16:00:44] [Flair]: husbands.. really
[16:00:51] [aulbrey]: oh right
[16:00:54] [aulbrey]: your here
[16:01:01] [King Blackthorn]: Lord Kelmo? What can you tell us of Trinsic?
[16:01:33] [York]: heh
[16:01:36] [Kelmo]: ale...
[16:01:37] [King Blackthorn]: Drunk agin? *sighs*
[16:01:40] [The Gooch]: thatll do it
[16:01:49] [TjloSjhion]: I like your kilt
[16:01:53] [Kelmo]: Hail Gov'ners, Citizens, friends and the rest of you too!
[16:01:58] [Luka Melehan]: *please don't sit in his lap...please don't sit in his lap...
[16:01:58] [Shayla Keylley]: Hail!
[16:02:05] [Kelmo]: Well met... King. *smiles and bows*
[16:02:25] [Kelmo]: As you well know there is a wrecked building in the center of Trinsic.
[16:02:33] [TjloSjhion]:
[16:02:36] [Kelmo]: i do not know why
[16:02:42] [Luka Melehan]: not good for business
[16:02:46] [King Blackthorn]: Someday I hope to learn the story of that building.
[16:03:02] [Kelmo]: the buildings are all damaged
[16:03:19] [Kelmo]: I too would like to understand this
[16:03:22] [Fat Cat]: it got raided by tons of monsters!
[16:03:24] [Nebiki]: was war in trinsic long ago
[16:03:38] [Fat Cat]: before your time kelmo
[16:05:12] [Kelmo]: there is a veritable dungeon under the city
[16:05:44] [Kelmo]: I would like to see this investigated
[16:05:50] [Kelmo]: I also ask that something be done about the lawless gangs of thugs roaming the lands. Criminals one and all these "factioneers"
[16:06:16] [Luka Melehan]: damn kids...
[16:06:18] [Kelmo]: these criminals have had their way long enough
[16:06:42] [Kelmo]: lawless gangs... the lot of 'em.
[16:06:51] [Kelmo]: The trade unions are entirely over priced for the few meager incentives offered.
[16:06:52] [sir Vincent]: Hmm
[16:06:59] [Kelmo]: For the "tributes" demanded by the unions they should at least be worth while and better yet, assist in gathering the taxes.
[16:07:09] [aulbrey]: ...I'm not wasted...
[16:07:20] [Luka Melehan]: here here
[16:07:22] [Kelmo]: they have a strangle hold over the towns
[16:07:31] [Kelmo]: Perhaps the unions could provide us with better incentives and some town vendors.
[16:08:08] [Fat Cat]: your worries are over kelmo. fat cat is here
[16:08:15] [Kelmo]: also a way to track the number of citizens in a town
[16:08:32] [Kelmo]: if not the names at least some numbers
[16:08:53] [King Blackthorn]: Thank you Lord Kelmo.
[16:09:09] [York]: some thought out requests
[16:09:13] [York]:
[16:09:17] [Fat Cat]: yes!
[16:09:19] [King Blackthorn]: I do agree that the rogues roaming the lands have caused some distress.
[16:09:33] [King Blackthorn]: and yet, that is a part of what makes this land what it is.
[16:09:40] [King Blackthorn]: A balance of Order and Chaos.
[16:09:51] [Fat Cat]: ^^
[16:09:54] [Talia]: who doesn't like a little distress?
[16:10:06] [King Blackthorn]: As the Governor of the City of Honor and the Paladins,
[16:10:10] [Kelmo]: indeed my liege...
[16:10:10] [York]: ...
[16:10:24] [King Blackthorn]: I believe that you are most suited to assist in combatting these rogues.
[16:11:02] [Kelmo]: I will consider... options
[16:11:09] [King Blackthorn]: Of course, the crown will back you as needed. Please report to me regularly that I may stay aware of your progress. *smiles*
[16:11:25] [Kelmo]: as you command...
[16:11:32] [King Blackthorn]: For the rest, be it known that the system and tools of governors is still new and growing.
[16:11:57] [King Blackthorn]: I hope that some or all of these suggestions will come at a future date, but when that may be I am not certain at this time.
[16:12:21] [aulbrey]: Hey everyone. Listen to my song!
[16:12:30] [York]: your... cat... katt..
[16:12:34] [King Blackthorn]: Is no one here to speak for the capital city?
[16:12:59] [Flair]: it is in constant turmoil.. there are always people fighting the streets there
[16:13:18] [York]: This is disturbing news
[16:13:21] [Luka Melehan]: makes it hard for traders to do business
[16:13:30] [York]: in the fair town of brit..
[16:14:01] [King Blackthorn]: Lord Gooch. How fares Minoc and the suburb of Bartertown?
[16:14:03] [Talia]: It aint so bad
[16:14:15] [The Gooch]: Hail citizens!
[16:14:23] [The Gooch]: whats up, King
[16:14:32] [Fat Cat]: hiss!
[16:14:45] [The Gooch]: I have some small news to start off with
[16:14:47] [York]:
[16:14:53] [Kelmo]: this will be interesting
[16:15:07] [The Gooch]: I have spent sometime meeting and greeting with the hard working minocians
[16:15:25] [The Gooch]: and although they are not as giving for a trade deal as some of the realms other cities
[16:15:32] [The Gooch]: they are most certainly full of life
[16:15:56] [The Gooch]: Barter Town has offered to all citizens of the realm
[16:16:13] [The Gooch]: That if they choose to do their buisness and banking inside the city limits of Minoc
[16:16:30] [The Gooch]: The acquisition experts of Barter Town will stay out of their packs
[16:16:42] [The Gooch]: in an effort to bring more buisness and shakers to Minoc
[16:16:47] [Fat Cat]: hisses
[16:17:13] [The Gooch]: We still have several statues throughout the city
[16:17:33] [Kelmo]: at we have "honest" thieves representing here unlike the represenitives from buc's
[16:17:34] [The Gooch]: that remain unfinished but ive been assured our artisians are hard at work to complete these
[16:17:49] [The Gooch]: Aye, Thank you Kelm's
[16:18:00] [The Gooch]: We are also taking donations
[16:18:16] [York]: donations.. is that what they call it these days.
[16:18:19] [The Gooch]: For a new roller coaster that is being designed for mount kendall
[16:18:23] [King Blackthorn]: Taking? or accepting? *arches eyebrows*
[16:18:27] [Hoffs]: !
[16:18:38] [Fat Cat]: meow
[16:18:50] [The Gooch]: Basically Minoc is the funniest place in the realm
[16:19:02] [The Gooch]: Barter Town or Die *drops mic*
[16:19:16] [King Blackthorn]: Thank you Lord Gooch.
[16:19:24] [King Blackthorn]: I look forward to hearing more of your progress.
[16:19:49] [King Blackthorn]: Lord Ironfish? Doth New Magincia fare well?
[16:19:50] [York]: Good job gooch.

[16:20:05] [Morgan Ironfist]: Thank you me liege
[16:20:19] [Morgan Ironfist]: New Magincia is faring well

[16:21:20] [Kelmo]: *apluades* Well done Ironfist
[16:21:28] [Fat Cat]: hisses
[16:21:34] [Morgan Ironfist]: I would like to ask all citizen who use the tradedeal to make a donation to the town crier
[16:21:41] [Kelmo]: yer trade has been going since day one
[16:22:01] [Morgan Ironfist]: furthermore I second Governor Kelmo's idea of knowin a citizen number
[16:22:23] [Shayla Keylley]: Ask your citizens to post to the bulletin boards
[16:22:27] [York]: Aye
[16:22:30] [Morgan Ironfist]: and I would like a chat option for governors to make proclamations to his citizen
[16:22:47] [Morgan Ironfist]: that they would receive on their next login
[16:22:54] [Fat Cat]: i just want tuna....
[16:22:54] [Talia]: oooh that'd be cool
[16:23:06] [Morgan Ironfist]: could be done like the notes one receives for the stalls

[16:23:54] [King Blackthorn]: Thank you Lord Ironfist.
[16:23:54] [The Gooch]: nice one, morgan
[16:24:01] [Fat Cat]: lord hisss
[16:24:17] [The Gooch]: ^^
[16:24:24] [King Blackthorn]: What you requested there sounds very nice, but it is well beyond what a King can provide and is akin to asking for nature to change the seasons.
[16:24:44] [King Blackthorn]: and yet, I shall pass the suggestion up to the Goddess and Gods above.
[16:25:01] [Fat Cat]: awes black thorn!!!
[16:25:21] [King Blackthorn]: And now, does anyone from the citizenry wish to speak?
[16:25:26] [aulbrey]: i do

[16:28:59] [TjloSjhion]: thanks. that is all
[16:29:39] [King Blackthorn]: I hereby decree that all Cats in the Kingdom shall be treated with respect and shall be given any spare fish.
[16:29:42] [King Blackthorn]: *smiles*
[16:29:50] [TjloSjhion]:, ok
[16:30:02] [aulbrey]: wait what

[16:30:08] [TjloSjhion]: I dont have fish kitty
[16:30:08] [King Blackthorn]: Lady Kattasrophe?
[16:30:09] [Talia]: Better than the place goin to Ulthar
[16:30:18] [Kattasrophe]: As you said earlier about the Bell Book and Candle
[16:30:20] [The Gooch]: Siege is gonna be the street nobody likes cos there are way too many cats
[16:30:25] [The Gooch]: and lonely women feeding them
[16:30:37] [Kattasrophe]: I believe that if you find someone who is pure of heart
[16:30:52] [Kattasrophe]: they should be able to clinse it
[16:30:55] [Nebiki]: should skin the cats and get dogs
[16:31:08] [TjloSjhion]: id rather have a cat
[16:31:08] [Kattasrophe]: it was the bad who corrupted them.
[16:31:23] [Kattasrophe]: So someone pure of heart and is kind should be able to fix it.
[16:31:27] [King Blackthorn]: Can there be such a person other than the Avatar himself?
[16:31:38] [The Gooch]: I could probably do it
[16:31:43] [Kattasrophe]: I do not know.
[16:31:46] [The Gooch]: let me take them to the labs over at Barter Town
[16:31:47] [Talia]: I recommend Scouring Toxin!
[16:31:53] [Kattasrophe]: But Hope makes people do wonderful things
[16:32:05] [King Blackthorn]: That it does.
[16:32:21] [King Blackthorn]: Is there no one to speak for Jhelom today?
[16:32:28] [King Blackthorn]: I understand that Sam had a conflict.
[16:33:14] [King Blackthorn]: As a last order of business, we have two empty Governor's Chairs this term.
[16:33:35] [King Blackthorn]: Lady Samantha is missed.
[16:33:54] [The Gooch]: ^^
[16:33:54] [King Blackthorn]: I would ask that our current governors submit nominations to fill these vacant seats.
[16:33:58] [York]: I know one of the members of the Cross characters has expessed interest in vesper
[16:34:07] [Flair]: nominations
[16:34:16] [Kattasrophe]: Eli Cross has shown great intrest in Vesper
[16:34:27] [Kattasrophe]: I fully cast my vote to him
[16:34:32] [King Blackthorn]: Eli Cross? I do not believe that I know him.
[16:34:44] [Kattasrophe]: He is Ravn Cross's brother
[16:34:49] [Kattasrophe]: the one I had mentioned in my report.
[16:34:51] [King Blackthorn]: Is he here today?
[16:34:53] [Morgan Ironfist]: I would suggest Becca to speak for Yew since she is living close by and knows the people's needs!?
[16:34:59] [Kattasrophe]: he is not.
[16:35:04] [TjloSjhion]: I am a vesper fan
[16:35:09] [Fat Cat]: ha!
[16:35:11] [TjloSjhion]: im only 6 months old though
[16:35:18] [King Blackthorn]: Who would speak for Eli as to why he would make a good governor?
[16:35:19] [Flair]: i wanna know what are you gonna do about Brit
[16:35:24] [Kattasrophe]: *raises hand
[16:35:30] [Flair]: we never see the governor there and it's lawless
[16:35:43] [King Blackthorn]: You already spoke on his behalf Lady Kattasrope.
[16:35:49] [King Blackthorn]: I am hoping for a second?
[16:35:54] [York]: I have spoken with him and he is very interested in vesting in eventianment
[16:36:04] [York]: Second
[16:36:12] [The Gooch]: third
[16:36:24] [Talia]: did you just say..... eventainment?
[16:36:33] [Kelmo]: I abstain.
[16:36:33] [King Blackthorn]: The motion has been made to install Eli Cross as Governor of Vesper.
[16:36:41] [King Blackthorn]: Governors? How do you vote?
[16:36:44] [Fat Cat]: hisssss
[16:36:46] [King Blackthorn]: we have 3 for?
[16:36:48] [King Blackthorn]: others?
[16:37:06] [Shayla Keylley]: Should a public notice be posted?
[16:37:39] [York]:
[16:37:41] [Ladra]: that cat is chasing my rat, kill it!
[16:37:51] [Kattasrophe]: *gasps* He is my cat
[16:37:52] [The Gooch]: tsk tsk
[16:38:03] [Fat Cat]: dem fightin words!
[16:38:04] [Kattasrophe]: Sit and be good Cat
[16:38:09] [King Blackthorn]: Lord Ironfist? Have you any thoughts on adding Eli Cross to this council?
[16:38:25] [Morgan Ironfist]: SOunds like a good idea
[16:38:46] [King Blackthorn]: and Lord Kelmo? You have abstained?
[16:39:08] [Kelmo]: I have... (glances at moonglow*
[16:39:34] [King Blackthorn]: Then by a vote of 4 with one abstaining and two absent, the motion is carried.
[16:39:46] [King Blackthorn]: Governor Cross shall be installed in Vesper.
[16:39:51] [The Gooch]: nice
[16:40:01] [King Blackthorn]: I belive Becca's name was presented for Yew?
[16:40:09] [King Blackthorn]: Is Lady Becca here today?
[16:40:12] [Morgan Ironfist]: I have not spoken to her
[16:40:19] [Morgan Ironfist]: she is not unfortunately
[16:40:23] [Kattasrophe]: She did show intrest in running.
[16:40:28] [Hoffs]: I somewhat doubt she would be interested.
[16:40:30] [Morgan Ironfist]: but I think she would make a great governor of Yew
[16:40:31] [York]: This is good news
[16:40:33] [Hoffs]: She is not a politician.
[16:40:47] [Morgan Ironfist]: Lives exactly north of the Abbey
[16:40:47] [Kelmo]: are we drafting cov'ners now?
[16:40:51] [Luka Melehan]: Becca is trust worthy
[16:40:54] [Fat Cat]: dont look at fat cat!
[16:40:58] [King Blackthorn]: The best leaders are often not politicians.
[16:41:06] [Ladra]: if you can't be here now, how could you be governor?
[16:41:06] [Hoffs]: She is indeed. But not someone who enjoys leadership.
[16:41:15] [King Blackthorn]: but she must express the desire to be a governor.
[16:41:15] [Nebiki]: politicians are bad people
[16:41:31] [TjloSjhion]: Politication?
[16:41:33] [Flair]: so we should only pick from who is here???
[16:41:37] [Flair]: that's not fair
[16:41:51] [Nebiki]: they should run for it like always
[16:41:52] [Shayla Keylley]: well Eli wasn't here
[16:41:54] [York]: So you have anyone in mind?
[16:41:55] [Ladra]: yeah, it's good if you are present at the meetings if you want to be a governor..
[16:42:01] [King Blackthorn]: Are there any other names to put forth?
[16:42:17] [Morgan Ironfist]: Well another name that comes to mind is former governor Hoffs
[16:42:21] [Shayla Keylley]: Make a public post mayhaps?
[16:42:24] [Luka Melehan]: wait....are we overstepping the election process?
[16:42:29] [TjloSjhion]: stares with a lust for blood*
[16:42:38] [Fat Cat]: tuna!
[16:42:39] [Morgan Ironfist]: she knows the business
[16:42:40] [TjloSjhion]: ... shew* whipes forhead
[16:42:53] [Morgan Ironfist]: leads the largest guild on Siege Perilious
[16:42:58] [King Blackthorn]: Lady Melehan. This is a King's Council. While governors are preferrably selected by the people,
[16:43:04] [Flair]: and is cute
[16:43:09] [King Blackthorn]: I'd rather have a governor than an empty seat.
[16:43:16] [TjloSjhion]: I vote Nebiki
[16:43:43] [Flair]: personally i am more worried about places like Brit..
[16:43:44] [Nebiki]: we vote for our leaders
[16:43:51] [King Blackthorn]: I must also say that I regret Lady Hoffs decision to not run for Governor again.
[16:43:54] [Flair]: i never see the governor from there and it's lawless
[16:44:10] [York]: perhaps she will again..
[16:44:12] [TjloSjhion]: freerunner
[16:44:16] [York]:
[16:44:18] [TjloSjhion]: vesper!
[16:44:20] [The Gooch]: Hoffs and GIL are running the Skara Brea governor
[16:44:24] [Luka Melehan]: you want to run Flair? for brit?
[16:44:24] [The Gooch]: >.>
[16:44:25] [The Gooch]: <.<
[16:44:41] [Hoffs]: I have recovered somewhat from my malaise of recent times, and would probably run in Skara again
[16:44:45] [York]: excuse me?
[16:44:49] [Hoffs]: should York ever vacate the seat.
[16:44:55] [Flair]: i just think it should be represented is all.. hugi has had two terms and is never there
[16:44:57] [Flair]: so why run
[16:45:10] [York]: I will step down after this term.
[16:45:24] [King Blackthorn]: As we seem to have no concensus on a Governor for Yew, I will leave it to the governors to submit candidates.
[16:45:27] [York]: since there is a bit of a problem with mid term step downs
[16:45:47] [King Blackthorn]: Speak with your people and see who is loyal to Yew.
[16:45:59] [King Blackthorn]: Find out who may be willing.
[16:46:10] [King Blackthorn]: and let us discuss it again at the next council meeting.
[16:46:13] [York]: Will do
[16:46:20] [King Blackthorn]: If a candidate arises before then
[16:46:29] [Hoffs]: I shall speak with Steven, the brother of former governor Samantha.
[16:46:30] [King Blackthorn]: and is essentially doing the job of Governor
[16:46:43] [Hoffs]: He expressed a desire to run for Yew.
[16:46:43] [King Blackthorn]: then it will be quite easy for them to assume the role officially.
[16:46:57] [King Blackthorn]: Thank you Lady Hoffs.
[16:47:01] [Hoffs]: [Samantha sold him the account when she became unable to continue playing]
[16:47:03] [King Blackthorn]: That is good Information.
[16:47:29] [King Blackthorn]: I beleive that is all of our business for today.
[16:47:37] [King Blackthorn]: Shall we adjourn?
[16:47:41] [York]: Aye
[16:47:43] [sir Vincent]: yes!
[16:47:59] [King Blackthorn]: The meeting is adjourned
[16:48:03] [York]:
[16:48:04] [King Blackthorn]: Thank you all for attending.
[16:48:08] [Hoffs]: Thank you, Lord Blackthorn.
[16:48:15] [Shayla Keylley]: Thank you M'Lord
[16:48:22] [Kattasrophe]: *smiles* Thank you Lord BlackThorn
[15:30:20] [King Blackthorn]: Thank you to those who have made time in their busy scheudles today.
[15:30:34] [King Blackthorn]: though I am saddened to see four towns unrepresented.
[15:30:37] [Nebiki]: i think talia is stuck out side
[15:31:32] [King Blackthorn]: We have a good bit to cover today so let us begin.
[15:31:53] [King Blackthorn]: First off, as many of you have noticed, there have been a few changes here since our last meeting.
[15:32:28] [King Blackthorn]: The chair for the Governor of Bucanneer's Den has been removed and they are no longer represented on the council.
[15:32:51] [King Blackthorn]: The treachery of Governor Marcus Rotgut was revealed to all.
[15:33:01] [King Blackthorn]: The theft of the world-gem.
[15:33:12] [King Blackthorn]: The revelation that he was the reviled Shadow himself.
[15:33:40] [King Blackthorn]: all eventually led to his own death at the hands of the Demon's he played with.
[15:34:12] [King Blackthorn]: Due to the theft here of all places, I have requested that a portion of the King's Guard be reassigned to this council.
[15:34:31] [King Blackthorn]: they will stand guard here to protect the chambers and items within.
[15:35:06] [King Blackthorn]: It is with regret that I have learned that the people of Bucaneer's Den are happy to be free of the crown again.
[15:35:29] [King Blackthorn]: it seems their membership here was only to learn more of us to take advantage of us.
[15:35:52] [King Blackthorn]: But now, that is all in the past.
[15:36:33] [King Blackthorn]: and we are left with the physical representations of the Virtuous Principles corrupted.
[15:37:32] [King Blackthorn]: Now, it is up to us to determine how to cleanse the Bell, the Book, and the Candle.
[15:38:04] [King Blackthorn]: I have put some research into it, but alas I have not found a solution as of yet.
[15:38:29] [King Blackthorn]: The next item pending is the King's Contest.
[15:38:49] [King Blackthorn]: I believe that the current standings put Lady Sara Dale in the lead for the grand prize.
[15:39:03] [Sara Dale]: Thats me
[15:39:06] [Flair]: ohhh
[15:39:53] [King Blackthorn]: Lady Dale has submitted a 191 stone Summer Dragonfish.
[15:40:04] [King Blackthorn]: quite an accomplishment. *smiles*
[15:40:10] [TjloSjhion]: shes cool
[15:40:15] [Sara Dale]: It was hard work getting past the dragons
[15:40:24] [The Gooch]: atta girl
[15:40:30] [tick]: yay!
[15:40:53] [King Blackthorn]: The smallest fish is a 7 stone fish caught by Sir Malloc.
[15:41:05] [York]: was it cute?
[15:41:08] [The Gooch]: very impressive none the less!
[15:41:09] [York]: lol
[15:41:35] [King Blackthorn]: and the Largest Crab or Lobster is a rare Blue Lobster submitted by Garfield.
[15:41:45] [Sara Dale]: Yea Garfield
[15:41:48] [tick]: woot
[15:42:05] [King Blackthorn]: We are about 7 hours away from the end of the contest. Please get your final entries turned in
[15:42:12] [King Blackthorn]: by Midnight US Eastern Time.
[15:42:22] [Hoffs]: If you want to know about Sara's struggle to land the mighty fish, read her forthcoming book...
[15:42:30] [Hoffs]: "The old woman and the sea"
[15:42:34] [tick]: ouch
[15:42:35] [Flair]: really.. sounds like a good read
[15:42:40] [aulbrey]: i caught a flair does that count? *giggles*
[15:42:48] [King Blackthorn]: I have been notified that the magics used to build Castle Blackthorn may prevent the winner from being displayed there.
[15:43:00] [Sara Dale]: awww
[15:43:05] [King Blackthorn]: if that is the case, then the winner will be displayed here in the Governor's Council Chambers.
[15:43:14] [TjloSjhion]: woo
[15:43:14] [Sara Dale]: What about the awards house?
[15:43:29] [King Blackthorn]: but every effort will be made to display it in the castle if it is possible.
[15:43:44] [Kelmo]: There is that nice spot near Britain Moongate...
[15:44:05] [King Blackthorn]: My intent is for the Awards house to be the final display place after a reasonable time at the castle or here.
[15:44:18] [Sara Dale]: nice
[15:44:23] [King Blackthorn]: I hope everyone has enjoyed the contest.
[15:44:27] [Sara Dale]: I already have shoes there
[15:44:27] [King Blackthorn]: *smiles*
[15:44:35] [Sara Dale]: its been a blast
[15:44:57] [King Blackthorn]: And now, let us hear from our Governors and learn of our cities.
[15:45:14] [King Blackthorn]: Lord York? Are you settled into your new home?
[15:45:31] [York]: yes, i have settled in well
[15:45:43] [York]: Would you like me to speak first?
[15:45:50] [King Blackthorn]: Please do. *smiles*
[15:45:55] [York]: Ty
[15:46:12] [York]: Upon arrival in Skara Brae I could not help but notice signs of a rift in the citizens.
[15:46:20] [York]: This is not too surprising since there has been a lack of direction for a short time.
[15:46:26] [aulbrey]: its empty for the reals this time
[15:46:29] [York]: The Mayor was found drunken early in the morning,
[15:46:37] [York]: with the excuse that “he was just sampling…. Skara’s finest export.”
[15:46:56] [York]: The Town Guards though, have proved to be very nimble and
[15:47:16] [York]: willing to strike down a threat to the town.
[15:47:36] [York]: Despite the initial set back with the mayor…
[15:47:43] [York]: I have been pleased to see that the citizens of Skara Brae are among
[15:47:47] [York]: the most passionate and spiritual.
[15:47:56] [York]: It will be a great honor to serve this community.
[15:48:03] [York]: On other town matter fiscally the town seems on track;
[15:48:11] [York]: A trade deal with the Bardic Collegium allowing citizen to benefit from a faster casting bonus.
[15:48:26] [King Blackthorn]: well done
[15:48:34] [York]: This was provided by a few players, mainly Hoffs, Spargo, Tina Tink, and Skara’s budget.
[15:48:41] [York]: I am still not convinced the trade deals are a fair deal,
[15:48:48] [York]: I am still not convinced the trade deals are a fair deal,
[15:48:56] [York]: but the citizens support them and I will do as they wish.
[15:49:06] [York]: I have also started a Subsidy program
[15:49:12] [York]: to help encourage general use items to be stocked at a fair price.
[15:49:21] [York]: This includes subsidizing vendors and funding upcoming merchants (resource gathers).
[15:49:28] [York]: A promo is being put together so citizens can easily find these vendors.
[15:49:34] [York]: The only request that the citizens of Skara Brae have made was
[15:49:40] [York]: the matter of acknowledging the settlement of Gilfane.
[15:49:43] [York]: ...
[15:49:53] [York]: All other town matters seem to be in order;
[15:50:09] [York]: Thank you
[15:50:15] [York]: that is all
[15:50:18] [King Blackthorn]: I am quite frustrated that the monument for Gilfane has not been completed as of yet.
[15:50:29] [The Gooch]: among other settlements...
[15:50:31] [King Blackthorn]: I have learned not to pay the contractors in advance again.
[15:50:53] [York]: hah they can be crafty
[15:50:56] [York]: ....
[15:51:03] [King Blackthorn]: I shall continue efforts there to see that it is eventually completed.
[15:51:16] [King Blackthorn]: as well as the one for Barter Town.
[15:51:28] [York]: Ty M'Lord
[15:51:39] [King Blackthorn]: For Barter Town, the requested trees are growing nicely, but are not yet ready for planting at their permanent home.
[15:51:53] [The Gooch]: Aye thank you, King
[15:51:55] [Ladra]: yes, we want a big one!
[15:52:09] [King Blackthorn]: Lady Kattasrophe? How fares Moonglow?
[15:52:24] [Kattasrophe]: I do have a small report if I may. My lord
[15:52:28] [Luka Melehan]: *whispers* trees?
[15:53:00] [King Blackthorn]: Please proceed Kattasrophe
[15:53:30] [Kattasrophe]: I would like to start off today by saying thank you to all of the Moonglow Citizens
[15:53:39] [Kattasrophe]: Who have given me the oppertunity to be their Governor.
[15:53:55] [Kattasrophe]: I have enjoyed being here for them.
[15:54:13] [Kattasrophe]: The citizens of Moonglow have donated generously this Month.
[15:54:23] [Kattasrophe]: I would like to say a special thank you to the following people
[15:54:35] [Kattasrophe]: Ravn and Andreas Cross, Arminda
[15:54:45] [Kattasrophe]: Katniss, Talia, Robert the Brute,
[15:54:57] [Kattasrophe]: Sara Dale, DeadBob, Norman Bates, and Governor York
[15:55:01] [Talia]: WoooooOOOOOooooo!!!
[15:55:24] [York]:
[15:55:26] [Kattasrophe]: Because of the generously donations of the citizens
[15:55:37] [Kattasrophe]: I was able to open up a trade deal for the Bardiac Collegium
[15:55:51] [Kattasrophe]: For the citizens that have a sword or a bow
[15:56:04] [Kattasrophe]: I will switch betweeen the Bardiac Collegium and the Assians
[15:56:26] [Flair]: You feel sober.
[15:56:31] [Kattasrophe]: Ravn Cross is also building a house that has an Arena in it for everyone
[15:56:42] [TjloSjhion]:
[15:56:44] [Kattasrophe]: Although he may not be here he wanted me to say
[15:56:50] [Kattasrophe]: Everyone is welcome there
[15:57:08] [Kattasrophe]: On April the 5th at 3pm Eastern
[15:57:19] [Kattasrophe]: I will be holding a Carnival in Moonglow
[15:57:27] [Kattasrophe]: Everyone is welcome to come and join the fun.
[15:57:39] [Kattasrophe]: As far as things I would like to accomplish
[15:57:47] [Talia]: yay!
[15:57:52] [Kattasrophe]: I am looking forward to restoring the zoo
[15:57:58] [Kattasrophe]: there is no animals in there.
[15:58:05] [Luka Melehan]: sounds like fun
[15:58:05] [Shayla Keylley]: sad
[15:58:08] [Kattasrophe]: and also,

[15:58:41] [Fat Cat]: no animals?
[15:58:42] [Talia]: They're part of our economy!
[15:58:55] [Flair]: question?
[15:58:59] [Kattasrophe]: yes?
[15:59:04] [Flair]: we need to donate animals to your moonglow zoo then

[15:59:55] [Kelmo]: I saw a weasel!

[16:01:33] [York]: heh
[16:01:36] [Kelmo]: ale...
[16:01:37] [King Blackthorn]: Drunk agin? *sighs*
[16:01:40] [The Gooch]: thatll do it
[16:01:49] [TjloSjhion]: I like your kilt
[16:01:53] [Kelmo]: Hail Gov'ners, Citizens, friends and the rest of you too!
[16:01:58] [Luka Melehan]: *please don't sit in his lap...please don't sit in his lap...
[16:01:58] [Shayla Keylley]: Hail!
[16:02:05] [Kelmo]: Well met... King. *smiles and bows*
[16:02:25] [Kelmo]: As you well know there is a wrecked building in the center of Trinsic.
[16:02:33] [TjloSjhion]:
[16:02:36] [Kelmo]: i do not know why
[16:02:42] [Luka Melehan]: not good for business
[16:02:46] [King Blackthorn]: Someday I hope to learn the story of that building.
[16:03:02] [Kelmo]: the buildings are all damaged
[16:03:19] [Kelmo]: I too would like to understand this
[16:03:22] [Fat Cat]: it got raided by tons of monsters!
[16:03:24] [Nebiki]: was war in trinsic long ago
[16:03:38] [Fat Cat]: before your time kelmo
[16:05:12] [Kelmo]: there is a veritable dungeon under the city
[16:05:44] [Kelmo]: I would like to see this investigated
[16:05:50] [Kelmo]: I also ask that something be done about the lawless gangs of thugs roaming the lands. Criminals one and all these "factioneers"
[16:06:16] [Luka Melehan]: damn kids...
[16:06:18] [Kelmo]: these criminals have had their way long enough
[16:06:42] [Kelmo]: lawless gangs... the lot of 'em.
[16:06:51] [Kelmo]: The trade unions are entirely over priced for the few meager incentives offered.
[16:06:52] [sir Vincent]: Hmm
[16:06:59] [Kelmo]: For the "tributes" demanded by the unions they should at least be worth while and better yet, assist in gathering the taxes.
[16:07:09] [aulbrey]: ...I'm not wasted...
[16:07:20] [Luka Melehan]: here here
[16:07:22] [Kelmo]: they have a strangle hold over the towns
[16:07:31] [Kelmo]: Perhaps the unions could provide us with better incentives and some town vendors.
[16:08:08] [Fat Cat]: your worries are over kelmo. fat cat is here
[16:08:15] [Kelmo]: also a way to track the number of citizens in a town
[16:08:32] [Kelmo]: if not the names at least some numbers
[16:08:53] [King Blackthorn]: Thank you Lord Kelmo.
[16:09:09] [York]: some thought out requests
[16:09:13] [York]:
[16:09:17] [Fat Cat]: yes!
[16:09:19] [King Blackthorn]: I do agree that the rogues roaming the lands have caused some distress.
[16:09:33] [King Blackthorn]: and yet, that is a part of what makes this land what it is.
[16:09:40] [King Blackthorn]: A balance of Order and Chaos.
[16:09:51] [Fat Cat]: ^^
[16:09:54] [Talia]: who doesn't like a little distress?
[16:10:06] [King Blackthorn]: As the Governor of the City of Honor and the Paladins,
[16:10:10] [Kelmo]: indeed my liege...
[16:10:10] [York]: ...
[16:10:24] [King Blackthorn]: I believe that you are most suited to assist in combatting these rogues.
[16:11:02] [Kelmo]: I will consider... options
[16:11:09] [King Blackthorn]: Of course, the crown will back you as needed. Please report to me regularly that I may stay aware of your progress. *smiles*
[16:11:25] [Kelmo]: as you command...
[16:11:32] [King Blackthorn]: For the rest, be it known that the system and tools of governors is still new and growing.
[16:11:57] [King Blackthorn]: I hope that some or all of these suggestions will come at a future date, but when that may be I am not certain at this time.
[16:12:21] [aulbrey]: Hey everyone. Listen to my song!
[16:12:30] [York]: your... cat... katt..
[16:12:34] [King Blackthorn]: Is no one here to speak for the capital city?
[16:12:59] [Flair]: it is in constant turmoil.. there are always people fighting the streets there
[16:13:18] [York]: This is disturbing news
[16:13:21] [Luka Melehan]: makes it hard for traders to do business
[16:13:30] [York]: in the fair town of brit..
[16:14:01] [King Blackthorn]: Lord Gooch. How fares Minoc and the suburb of Bartertown?
[16:14:03] [Talia]: It aint so bad
[16:14:15] [The Gooch]: Hail citizens!
[16:14:23] [The Gooch]: whats up, King
[16:14:32] [Fat Cat]: hiss!
[16:14:45] [The Gooch]: I have some small news to start off with
[16:14:47] [York]:
[16:14:53] [Kelmo]: this will be interesting
[16:15:07] [The Gooch]: I have spent sometime meeting and greeting with the hard working minocians
[16:15:25] [The Gooch]: and although they are not as giving for a trade deal as some of the realms other cities
[16:15:32] [The Gooch]: they are most certainly full of life
[16:15:56] [The Gooch]: Barter Town has offered to all citizens of the realm
[16:16:13] [The Gooch]: That if they choose to do their buisness and banking inside the city limits of Minoc
[16:16:30] [The Gooch]: The acquisition experts of Barter Town will stay out of their packs
[16:16:42] [The Gooch]: in an effort to bring more buisness and shakers to Minoc
[16:16:47] [Fat Cat]: hisses
[16:17:13] [The Gooch]: We still have several statues throughout the city
[16:17:33] [Kelmo]: at we have "honest" thieves representing here unlike the represenitives from buc's
[16:17:34] [The Gooch]: that remain unfinished but ive been assured our artisians are hard at work to complete these
[16:17:49] [The Gooch]: Aye, Thank you Kelm's
[16:18:00] [The Gooch]: We are also taking donations
[16:18:16] [York]: donations.. is that what they call it these days.
[16:18:19] [The Gooch]: For a new roller coaster that is being designed for mount kendall
[16:18:23] [King Blackthorn]: Taking? or accepting? *arches eyebrows*
[16:18:27] [Hoffs]: !
[16:18:38] [Fat Cat]: meow
[16:18:50] [The Gooch]: Basically Minoc is the funniest place in the realm
[16:19:02] [The Gooch]: Barter Town or Die *drops mic*
[16:19:16] [King Blackthorn]: Thank you Lord Gooch.
[16:19:24] [King Blackthorn]: I look forward to hearing more of your progress.
[16:19:49] [King Blackthorn]: Lord Ironfish? Doth New Magincia fare well?
[16:19:50] [York]: Good job gooch.
[16:19:59] [The Gooch]: ^^
[16:20:03] [King Blackthorn]: Errrr... Ironfist
[16:20:05] [Morgan Ironfist]: Thank you me liege
[16:20:19] [Morgan Ironfist]: New Magincia is faring well
[16:20:29] [Morgan Ironfist]: the Assassin's guild is blossoming
[16:20:43] [Morgan Ironfist]: the trade deal with it has been upheld
[16:20:45] [TjloSjhion]: Good
[16:20:59] [Morgan Ironfist]: and will be upheld withj them throughout this term
[16:21:02] [TjloSjhion]: In Vas Mani Hur
[16:21:20] [Kelmo]: *apluades* Well done Ironfist
[16:21:28] [Fat Cat]: hisses
[16:21:34] [Morgan Ironfist]: I would like to ask all citizen who use the tradedeal to make a donation to the town crier
[16:21:41] [Kelmo]: yer trade has been going since day one
[16:22:01] [Morgan Ironfist]: furthermore I second Governor Kelmo's idea of knowin a citizen number
[16:22:23] [Shayla Keylley]: Ask your citizens to post to the bulletin boards
[16:22:27] [York]: Aye
[16:22:30] [Morgan Ironfist]: and I would like a chat option for governors to make proclamations to his citizen
[16:22:47] [Morgan Ironfist]: that they would receive on their next login
[16:22:54] [Fat Cat]: i just want tuna....
[16:22:54] [Talia]: oooh that'd be cool
[16:23:06] [Morgan Ironfist]: could be done like the notes one receives for the stalls
[16:23:10] [Shayla Keylley]: good idea
[16:23:17] [Morgan Ironfist]: of New Magincia when it was renewed
[16:23:27] [Morgan Ironfist]: that would be all me king
[16:23:54] [King Blackthorn]: Thank you Lord Ironfist.
[16:23:54] [The Gooch]: nice one, morgan
[16:24:01] [Fat Cat]: lord hisss
[16:24:17] [The Gooch]: ^^
[16:24:24] [King Blackthorn]: What you requested there sounds very nice, but it is well beyond what a King can provide and is akin to asking for nature to change the seasons.
[16:24:44] [King Blackthorn]: and yet, I shall pass the suggestion up to the Goddess and Gods above.
[16:25:01] [Fat Cat]: awes black thorn!!!
[16:25:21] [King Blackthorn]: And now, does anyone from the citizenry wish to speak?
[16:25:26] [aulbrey]: i do
[16:25:50] [aulbrey]: uhhh
[16:25:55] [King Blackthorn]: Please approach the podium, but chose your words wisely.
[16:25:59] [aulbrey]: ...I'm not wasted...
[16:26:04] [aulbrey]: i just gotta ask one question
[16:26:06] [aulbrey]: wait

[16:30:08] [TjloSjhion]: I dont have fish kitty
[16:30:08] [King Blackthorn]: Lady Kattasrophe?
[16:30:09] [Talia]: Better than the place goin to Ulthar
[16:30:18] [Kattasrophe]: As you said earlier about the Bell Book and Candle
[16:30:20] [The Gooch]: Siege is gonna be the street nobody likes cos there are way too many cats
[16:30:25] [The Gooch]: and lonely women feeding them
[16:30:37] [Kattasrophe]: I believe that if you find someone who is pure of heart
[16:30:52] [Kattasrophe]: they should be able to clinse it
[16:30:55] [Nebiki]: should skin the cats and get dogs
[16:31:08] [TjloSjhion]: id rather have a cat
[16:31:08] [Kattasrophe]: it was the bad who corrupted them.
[16:31:23] [Kattasrophe]: So someone pure of heart and is kind should be able to fix it.
[16:31:27] [King Blackthorn]: Can there be such a person other than the Avatar himself?
[16:31:38] [The Gooch]: I could probably do it
[16:31:43] [Kattasrophe]: I do not know.
[16:31:46] [The Gooch]: let me take them to the labs over at Barter Town
[16:31:47] [Talia]: I recommend Scouring Toxin!
[16:31:53] [Kattasrophe]: But Hope makes people do wonderful things
[16:32:05] [King Blackthorn]: That it does.
[16:32:21] [King Blackthorn]: Is there no one to speak for Jhelom today?
[16:32:28] [King Blackthorn]: I understand that Sam had a conflict.
[16:33:14] [King Blackthorn]: As a last order of business, we have two empty Governor's Chairs this term.
[16:33:35] [King Blackthorn]: Lady Samantha is missed.
[16:33:54] [The Gooch]: ^^
[16:33:54] [King Blackthorn]: I would ask that our current governors submit nominations to fill these vacant seats.
[16:33:58] [York]: I know one of the members of the Cross characters has expessed interest in vesper
[16:34:07] [Flair]: nominations
[16:34:16] [Kattasrophe]: Eli Cross has shown great intrest in Vesper
[16:34:27] [Kattasrophe]: I fully cast my vote to him
[16:34:32] [King Blackthorn]: Eli Cross? I do not believe that I know him.
[16:34:44] [Kattasrophe]: He is Ravn Cross's brother
[16:34:49] [Kattasrophe]: the one I had mentioned in my report.
[16:34:51] [King Blackthorn]: Is he here today?
[16:34:53] [Morgan Ironfist]: I would suggest Becca to speak for Yew since she is living close by and knows the people's needs!?
[16:34:59] [Kattasrophe]: he is not.
[16:35:04] [TjloSjhion]: I am a vesper fan
[16:35:09] [Fat Cat]: ha!
[16:35:11] [TjloSjhion]: im only 6 months old though
[16:35:18] [King Blackthorn]: Who would speak for Eli as to why he would make a good governor?
[16:35:19] [Flair]: i wanna know what are you gonna do about Brit
[16:35:24] [Kattasrophe]: *raises hand
[16:35:30] [Flair]: we never see the governor there and it's lawless
[16:35:43] [King Blackthorn]: You already spoke on his behalf Lady Kattasrope.
[16:35:49] [King Blackthorn]: I am hoping for a second?
[16:35:54] [York]: I have spoken with him and he is very interested in vesting in eventianment
[16:36:04] [York]: Second
[16:36:12] [The Gooch]: third
[16:36:24] [Talia]: did you just say..... eventainment?
[16:36:33] [Kelmo]: I abstain.
[16:36:33] [King Blackthorn]: The motion has been made to install Eli Cross as Governor of Vesper.
[16:36:41] [King Blackthorn]: Governors? How do you vote?
[16:36:44] [Fat Cat]: hisssss
[16:36:46] [King Blackthorn]: we have 3 for?
[16:36:48] [King Blackthorn]: others?
[16:37:06] [Shayla Keylley]: Should a public notice be posted?
[16:37:39] [York]:
[16:37:41] [Ladra]: that cat is chasing my rat, kill it!
[16:37:51] [Kattasrophe]: *gasps* He is my cat
[16:37:52] [The Gooch]: tsk tsk
[16:38:03] [Fat Cat]: dem fightin words!
[16:38:04] [Kattasrophe]: Sit and be good Cat
[16:38:09] [King Blackthorn]: Lord Ironfist? Have you any thoughts on adding Eli Cross to this council?
[16:38:25] [Morgan Ironfist]: SOunds like a good idea
[16:38:46] [King Blackthorn]: and Lord Kelmo? You have abstained?
[16:39:08] [Kelmo]: I have... (glances at moonglow*
[16:39:34] [King Blackthorn]: Then by a vote of 4 with one abstaining and two absent, the motion is carried.
[16:39:46] [King Blackthorn]: Governor Cross shall be installed in Vesper.
[16:39:51] [The Gooch]: nice
[16:40:01] [King Blackthorn]: I belive Becca's name was presented for Yew?
[16:40:09] [King Blackthorn]: Is Lady Becca here today?
[16:40:12] [Morgan Ironfist]: I have not spoken to her
[16:40:19] [Morgan Ironfist]: she is not unfortunately
[16:40:23] [Kattasrophe]: She did show intrest in running.
[16:40:28] [Hoffs]: I somewhat doubt she would be interested.
[16:40:30] [Morgan Ironfist]: but I think she would make a great governor of Yew
[16:40:31] [York]: This is good news
[16:40:33] [Hoffs]: She is not a politician.
[16:40:47] [Morgan Ironfist]: Lives exactly north of the Abbey
[16:40:47] [Kelmo]: are we drafting cov'ners now?
[16:40:51] [Luka Melehan]: Becca is trust worthy
[16:40:54] [Fat Cat]: dont look at fat cat!
[16:40:58] [King Blackthorn]: The best leaders are often not politicians.
[16:41:06] [Ladra]: if you can't be here now, how could you be governor?
[16:41:06] [Hoffs]: She is indeed. But not someone who enjoys leadership.
[16:41:15] [King Blackthorn]: but she must express the desire to be a governor.
[16:41:15] [Nebiki]: politicians are bad people
[16:41:31] [TjloSjhion]: Politication?
[16:41:33] [Flair]: so we should only pick from who is here???
[16:41:37] [Flair]: that's not fair
[16:41:51] [Nebiki]: they should run for it like always
[16:41:52] [Shayla Keylley]: well Eli wasn't here
[16:41:54] [York]: So you have anyone in mind?
[16:41:55] [Ladra]: yeah, it's good if you are present at the meetings if you want to be a governor..
[16:42:01] [King Blackthorn]: Are there any other names to put forth?
[16:42:17] [Morgan Ironfist]: Well another name that comes to mind is former governor Hoffs
[16:42:21] [Shayla Keylley]: Make a public post mayhaps?
[16:42:24] [Luka Melehan]: wait....are we overstepping the election process?
[16:42:29] [TjloSjhion]: stares with a lust for blood*
[16:42:38] [Fat Cat]: tuna!
[16:42:39] [Morgan Ironfist]: she knows the business
[16:42:40] [TjloSjhion]: ... shew* whipes forhead
[16:42:53] [Morgan Ironfist]: leads the largest guild on Siege Perilious
[16:42:58] [King Blackthorn]: Lady Melehan. This is a King's Council. While governors are preferrably selected by the people,
[16:43:04] [Flair]: and is cute
[16:43:09] [King Blackthorn]: I'd rather have a governor than an empty seat.
[16:43:16] [TjloSjhion]: I vote Nebiki
[16:43:43] [Flair]: personally i am more worried about places like Brit..
[16:43:44] [Nebiki]: we vote for our leaders
[16:43:51] [King Blackthorn]: I must also say that I regret Lady Hoffs decision to not run for Governor again.
[16:43:54] [Flair]: i never see the governor from there and it's lawless
[16:44:10] [York]: perhaps she will again..
[16:44:12] [TjloSjhion]: freerunner
[16:44:16] [York]:
[16:44:18] [TjloSjhion]: vesper!
[16:44:20] [The Gooch]: Hoffs and GIL are running the Skara Brea governor
[16:44:24] [Luka Melehan]: you want to run Flair? for brit?
[16:44:24] [The Gooch]: >.>
[16:44:25] [The Gooch]: <.<
[16:44:41] [Hoffs]: I have recovered somewhat from my malaise of recent times, and would probably run in Skara again
[16:44:45] [York]: excuse me?
[16:44:49] [Hoffs]: should York ever vacate the seat.
[16:44:55] [Flair]: i just think it should be represented is all.. hugi has had two terms and is never there
[16:44:57] [Flair]: so why run
[16:45:10] [York]: I will step down after this term.
[16:45:24] [King Blackthorn]: As we seem to have no concensus on a Governor for Yew, I will leave it to the governors to submit candidates.
[16:45:27] [York]: since there is a bit of a problem with mid term step downs
[16:45:47] [King Blackthorn]: Speak with your people and see who is loyal to Yew.
[16:45:59] [King Blackthorn]: Find out who may be willing.
[16:46:10] [King Blackthorn]: and let us discuss it again at the next council meeting.
[16:46:13] [York]: Will do
[16:46:20] [King Blackthorn]: If a candidate arises before then
[16:46:29] [Hoffs]: I shall speak with Steven, the brother of former governor Samantha.
[16:46:30] [King Blackthorn]: and is essentially doing the job of Governor
[16:46:43] [Hoffs]: He expressed a desire to run for Yew.
[16:46:43] [King Blackthorn]: then it will be quite easy for them to assume the role officially.
[16:46:57] [King Blackthorn]: Thank you Lady Hoffs.
[16:47:01] [Hoffs]: [Samantha sold him the account when she became unable to continue playing]
[16:47:03] [King Blackthorn]: That is good Information.
[16:47:29] [King Blackthorn]: I beleive that is all of our business for today.
[16:47:37] [King Blackthorn]: Shall we adjourn?
[16:47:41] [York]: Aye
[16:47:43] [sir Vincent]: yes!
[16:47:59] [King Blackthorn]: The meeting is adjourned
[16:48:03] [York]:
[16:48:04] [King Blackthorn]: Thank you all for attending.
[16:48:08] [Hoffs]: Thank you, Lord Blackthorn.
[16:48:15] [Shayla Keylley]: Thank you M'Lord
[16:48:22] [Kattasrophe]: *smiles* Thank you Lord BlackThorn
