A M A D E U S: my turn?
Holden Caulfield: thank you Freja
Holden Caulfield: let us move on to A M A D E U S
Kleman: *rolls with eyes*
A M A D E U S: hail citizens
A M A D E U S: for those of you who dont know me
A M A D E U S: I am the self proclaimed King of Siege
Freja: we have a few of them
A M A D E U S: while I may have some motives for the shard as a whole
A M A D E U S: I do have some specific goals for SH
A M A D E U S: 1.) would be getting more active players here
A M A D E U S: I would like to see some smaller houses and a more community type enviornment
A M A D E U S: I agree with what Freja has said about making this a shopping place as well
Kleman: then place vendors
A M A D E U S: however that duty will rest on our crafters and merchants
Kleman: and stock them
A M A D E U S: I dont necessarily want to serve as mayor per se
A M A D E U S: but I would like to be on the council
A M A D E U S: and handle things all pvp related
A M A D E U S: including defense of our citizens
Kleman: *mutters*
Freja: *smiles*
A M A D E U S: also
A M A D E U S: I agree with what Freja has said about hosting player events
A M A D E U S: there are many new comers here to Siege, and we should do whatever it takes to attract them
A M A D E U S: I too would like to see Sa
A M A D E U S: SH return to its former glory
[Guild][VvV]: A Battle between Vice and Virtue is active! To Arms! The City of Trinsic is besieged!
A M A D E U S: but we need to be more proactive in our recruiting
A M A D E U S: that is all I have to say, thank you
Freja: *Claps*
Sprite Full: claps
Kleman: *sigh*
Holden Caulfield: Thank you A M A D E U S
Mish o sha: CLAPS
Holden Caulfield: and now we turn to Lupe
Lupe: Howdy everyone
Lupe: I've been a Safe Haven citizen for a little over 3 years now
Lupe: I recently gave my 18x18 to Larisa, when Sir Vincent gave me his keep by the water
Lupe: but before I moved, I ran vendors pretty much continuously
Kleman: nice
Lupe: not that they recieved a lot of traffic
Lupe: but I kept them up, and kept them stocked
Mish o sha: you did indeed
Lupe: and I would like to see others do the same
Lupe: I may re-open those vendors at my keep
Lupe: but they will not see as much "drive by" traffic in that location
Lupe: I will see how it goes
Lupe: one thing I would like to see happen in safe haven
Lupe: is more houses open to the public
Lupe: we've got a lot of great decorators out here
Lupe: it's something we could show-case
Lupe: perhaps with an event
Lupe: but having attractive homes that people could tour at their leisure
Lupe: does a lot to make it a place people woud visit
Lupe: more often
Lupe: I am accepting votes for a seat on the council
Lupe: but not for the position of mayor
Lupe: as my close relation with the governor of Moonglow
Lupe: might cause a conflict of interest in the broader politics or siege
Lupe: and on a side note
Lupe: I spoke with my Guildmate Singularity (Vinny)
Lupe: and he said he would accept votes as well
Lupe: I'm not sure if he got in touch with you or not Freja
Freja: no sorry
Lupe: he sends his regards
Lupe: that is all
Freja: he did not reach me
Mish o sha: CLAPS
Holden Caulfield: Thank you Lupe
Freja: *Claps*
Sprite Full: claps
Kleman: *claps*
Holden Caulfield: we have no official book from Vinny but will add to the record
Holden Caulfield: that he is running
Freja: to late
Holden Caulfield: do we know if he would like to be mayor?
Kleman: hmm...
Freja: he could had replyed at the forum
Holden Caulfield: oh ok, my apologies I did not know
Kleman: i would vote for that guy
Freja: the ballots are made
Holden Caulfield: he will have to postpone until next term
Freja: yes
Holden Caulfield: and now we turn our attention to Sprite Full
Sprite Full: no not running

Kleman: and he will guard the city
Kleman: by killing everyone and everywhere?
Kleman: Lies again
Kleman: dont let guys like this 2 people running our council!
Freja: *wonder what Kleman will do for the City*
Kleman: If we need to safe our city we let other people pay the wallls...
Kleman: this sounds like their speach...
Kleman: if we want to make Safe Haven attracktive...
Kleman: we need to do a CHANGE
Kleman: make it friendlier
Kleman: i totally agree with Lupe
Kleman: open houses
Kleman: nice people
Kleman: invite and events
Kleman: that might change it...
Kleman: but not with that kind of bullocks like Freja and her love Amadeus
Kleman: you cant do a change with this bold minds!

A M A D E U S: PVP
Mish o sha: PVM
Freja: a little of each
Lupe: PVM/crafting
Kleman: all of that at a certain time
Kleman: you missed the thief!

Kleman: see that lame woman
A M A D E U S: if they are in the thieves guild, they are pvp

A M A D E U S: we need more vendor houses along the main road
Kleman: that what you can gather in the time you are here with this world... but just keep it stocked
Freja: anything use for crafting ot good drop that can be used for suits
Kleman: empty vendors are giving bad reputation
Freja: if it sell, it is in demand
Kleman: better no vendor then an emtpy one
A M A D E U S: kleman you have a good house to place vendors
Lupe: perhaps a loot vendor, one with mage equipment pieces, and one with dexxer equipment
Freja: his parrots scare all away
Kleman: if i would have the time... i would do that... but i hate empty vendors
Freja: they are very noisy
Mish o sha: ok tk u

A M A D E U S: otherwise it looks like she has the only vendor house
Mish o sha: ok
Mish o sha: i will try my best
Mish o sha: tk u again
Holden Caulfield: Ok onto the next question
Holden Caulfield: If you were elected as mayor, would you support the SCC based on the information you know?
Holden Caulfield: SCC = Siege Community Council
A M A D E U S: no I do not support the current proposed format of the SCC
Freja: I would like them to be more open for communies
Kleman: yes... at least get it started... if we block no change will happen
Freja: they seem to fear some parts of the community but I may be wrong
Kleman: we can change later ... if we find problems..
Lupe: I am not in it for mayor, but yes, I think it needs our support
Freja: I will support it
A M A D E U S: support if we have fair representation
Freja: but also have an opinion
Mish o sha: inded
Holden Caulfield: very good, thank you
Lupe: no one is trying to prevent us from being represented
Freja: no Safe Haven are accepted
Kleman: well amadeus said no
Kleman: and this is prevention
A M A D E U S: I said I dont support the current format
Freja: I was thinking of other communitis
A M A D E U S: I do support a SCC, but not one run by GIL, and one that actually accomplishes things
Freja: I will try to help them let more in than Governors and registrated towns
Kleman: then try to get it sorted by diplomatica
A M A D E U S: I have been
A M A D E U S: perhaps you should read forums
Freja: I know it not an easy job
Lupe: don't worry, Talia won't let the SCC be run by Gil
Kleman: killing is not and just saying Gil is bad is not
Freja: and may take some time for Kelmo
A M A D E U S: Ive said much more than that
A M A D E U S: I cant help if you guys hear only what you want to hear
Holden Caulfield: ok some great disccusion there
Holden Caulfield: good points all around
Holden Caulfield: We all know SH has a rich history
Freja: I believe GIL just fear what they do not know

A M A D E U S: when I moved here, I was just a lone wolf on Siege seeking shelter
Freja: at the large guard fort
Freja: and falled in love with the town
Lupe: On Atlantic, my Guild tower, which is a UO historic site, is one screen NW of this building
Lupe: so I naturally looked to this area when searching for a house spot
