((18:39)) <@Saigh> -- Now we will begin the OOC portion of the meeting- at this time I ask that we avoid OOC scripts and roleplay. Please follow along and respond accordingly. I will ask for anything additional at the end of the meeting -- ((18:39)) <@Saigh> For our new members: We have plenty of methods of communication to keep up with pack events. Use -events to view upcoming events via Styx. I send out periodic text message reminders about upcoming events, if you wish to be added to that list please text me 702-860-9924 with your character name. We also have a facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/423611441081987/ -- tell me you dont know something... i will beat you. ((18:41)) <@Saigh> first off.... Holy shit 22 people in the channel 8D you guys rock! ((18:41)) <@Saigh> now... for the real buiznezz ((18:41)) <@Saigh> <<; ((18:42)) <@Saigh> We want to keep everyone up to speed on our server situation. Kazmarez has been working hard on setting up a stable server for us. We will be selecting a few at a time to conduct stability tests but the pack as a whole will not be moving the server until we find a usable web chat that works for a vast majority of our members.

We have a couple quiet days a week but for the most part, you guys are kickin ass and taking names as far as activity goes, so well done!!!! ((18:44)) <@Saigh> However, Attendance at events and in polls needs to pick up. Polls are posted to get the packs perspective on things and without your input we cannot constructively make alterations to the packs policies. Remember that those who are hosting - be it an alpha, elite or plot player - are taking time out of their day to do something fun for you. Its rude to outright not show up and/or show up late and leave early. We know that things come up, but they can't come up every. single. time. We will be closely monitoring who is and is not at events and why and people are going to start getting demoted or removed. Joining Kladd is a commitment, we dont ask for alot of your time, but we do request a portion of it.

Ty :D - ((18:49)) <@Saigh> Frost ((18:51)) <%`Frost`> I have a few questions. 1) 5pm PST is 8pm EST, right? 2) Is there a limit on songs? Just pick anything that feels related to what's going on with pack/or pack member (yourself or other)... 3) Does it have to be a song? Or can we write something if we feel the need/inspiration/and have the time? ((18:52)) <%`Frost`> OH CRAP. I don't think I can make that day. I think that might be the day I'm going to a work Halloween party ((18:53)) <@Saigh> its okay we may adjust the day if many people cant make it 1) Yes- full times will be posted on the bot/website 2) Try to limit it to like 5ish and yeah whatever reminds you of one of the topics 3) Id like to see mostly songs. I figure not everyone is artistically or literally talented- so music is a good way for everyoen to be involved - does this answer your questions?

The pack is 14+ so language and such shouldnt be an issue - though it may do well to place a warning if there is excessive cursing in you music... though id hope no one feels that way about anywone else (except xio *cough*) ((18:55)) <@Saigh> Does that satisfy your question?

((18:59)) <@Saigh> A few have spoken out regarding wanting to see more available ranks then just the four that we have. We will be working on a new setup for the ranks to include more role opertunities. We are definatly removing the SIKLA rank as it is not used.

((19:01)) <%Khal> :o ((19:01)) <%Adalwolfa> Yay Khal ((19:01)) <%`Frost`> YAY KHAL :D ((19:01)) \o/ Khal!

If you dont come to work, you get fired. As such: Slone has been removed due to inactivity. Essa and Otsoko have been demoted to packmate while they goes on LOA. Arya has been removed until she can return to activity and Ammorez has stepped down from Elite in order to get her priorites in order. - Some volneteered, others were not given a choice - your activity and your rank are one in the same - maintain them.

Lol. (What would a meeting be without my questions?!) My question is age related. Kiva, Jaqen, and I are the youngest wolves. I am assuming that we can become Pack at one year of age? Is there an age restriction on applying for other ranks? ((19:08)) <%`Frost`> Or, do we ask to start training for a rank at one year of age? ((19:08)) <@Saigh> the council has not yet determined that. We will cross that bridge when it comes. Does that satisfy your question? ((19:10)) <%`Frost`> The 'MiniAlpha' accepts, for now. *Beady eyes at Mommawoof* (This is humor...) ((19:10)) <@Saigh> XD ((19:10)) <%Adalwolfa> lol ((19:10)) * %`Frost` can't help wanting to follow in parent's pawsteps. ^_~ ((19:12)) <@Saigh> alright one last thing: i dont want anyone to think we are skipping them - but in light of the concept of new upcoming ranks - we will not be promotiong anymore IT ranks until the new ranks are settled - this way you dont ahve to switch abruptly if you find yourself called to another -those wcurrently in ranks or training will have the opertunity to switch at the next meeting as well.

((19:14)) <%Ammorez> - ((19:15)) <@Saigh> Pledges/Assessments will still be promoted as normally. Only those going from packmate to rank will be on a temorary Hiatus. ((19:15)) <%`Frost`> X ((19:15)) <@Saigh> Does that satisfy your question Korra? ((19:15)) Ok thank you ((19:15)) Yes, Thanks ((19:16)) <@Saigh> Frost ((19:16)) <%`Frost`> The plan being to have the ranks reorganized by next month? =) ((19:17)) <%Kivanuu> yes.

No rush, or anything... but you can obviously tell why I'd want to know what the age is for certain things. ((19:21)) <%`Frost`> 2 - I just want you all to know... I love you guys. <3 <3 <3 ((19:22)) <@Saigh> 1)All Character Bonds, including but not limited to Courtships, Mateships, Adoptions or Spiritual Bonds are concidered to be lifelong committments and are rarely if ever dissolved. They should not be entered into with haste. Nowolf under the age of 1 year may entere into a spiritual bond.

She smiled kindly as her chrome gaze searched each face for the wolf she wanted to call up first. Her smile grew as she summoned the wolf in question "Tryst, please step into the center of our circle and stand before the pack" she said, summoning the light colored brute forward. ((19:26)) * +Trystian was caught off guard for a second when the alpha called him, he timidly stepped forward and sat in the middle of the circle. He looked up at Saigh wondering what was happening. ((19:27)) * %Ammorez (webchat@cfa73a7f.hsd1.wa.5aa6454b.net.hmsk) Quit (Ping timeout: 248 seconds) ((19:27)) * %`Frost` 's tail swishes and her ears perk to Trystian and her Momma. ((19:27)) * %Adalwolfa watched quitely ((19:28)) * %Khal leaned against Frost, watching Trystian approach Saigh, tail flicking contently. ((19:28)) * @Saigh smiled kindly, encouraging the wolf as much she could. Her dark rimmed ears curled forward as she spoke "Tryst, you have completed your assessment. You have had the time to get to know the pack, its members, our ways and tonight I ask if you still wish to call yourself a member of Kladd`atir and if so, why?" she questioned, her ivory brows pulled up curiously. ((19:28)) * Xiodax watches from the back of the pack, glancing briefly to Rahlo, before returning his gaze to the pretty Alpha and her subordinate. ((19:29)) * %Adalwolfa would silently move to a better spot to watch the males from Lunakai. Still keeping her main focus on Saigh. ((19:30)) * +Trystian relaxed when he realized he was not in trouble, "After spending so much time here, I have decided I want to make this pack my home. While here I have been treated so great, and accepted as one of your own. I met so many wonderful friends and went on so many adventures, I wanna stay and keep the fun and memories going with you all. Perhaps make a big difference for another wolf someday." ((19:30)) * @Styx shuffles down a nearby tree, and sits on the hollow floor shifting through the pine needles and debris for food. ((19:31)) * Rook` swung his tail happily at the proceedings. ((19:32)) * @Saigh perked as Trystian spoke and her smile widened until her jaw split into a smile, clearly content with his answer. "Then let it be so. Welcome, the newest member of Kladd`atir, Trystian!" she tilted her head back and sang in congradulations for the brute's entrance into their family. ((19:33)) * Styx sets mode: +h Trystian ((19:33)) * %`Frost` lifts her muzzle to the sky and howls for Twisty!!! ((19:33)) * @Kelais lifts her muzzle and howls happily for Kladd's newest packmate! ((19:33)) * %Adalwolfa sang with the others watching everyone . ((19:33)) * %Jaqen tilted his head back in a howl for Trystian, the newest member of Kladdatir.. ((19:34)) * Rook` lifted his muzzle to produce a low baritone note for the newest packmember. ((19:34)) * Rahlo watched the proceedings with interest, flicking his keen mossygrene gaze around the gathered wolves and lingering on Korra for a moment before returning to Saigh. ((19:34)) * Genesis raises his muzzle high, formulating a loud raspy howl for the new member of kladdatir. ((19:35)) * @Saigh waited for the howls of the others to die out before speaking "Our pack will forever continue to grow, but only when those who wish to join step forth and express such an interest. So, at this time. I would like to ask that any and all wolves interested in joining Kladd`atir please step forward." she directed, her tail giving a gentle swish behind her. ((19:35)) * Styx sets mode: +h Rook` ((19:35)) * Styx sets mode: +h Agro|Semi ((19:36)) * Saoirse had just finished her song when she heard her sister's voice ring out, inviting all wolves interested in joining the pack to step forward. She would blink and glance at the fae for a moment before jumping to her paws and prancing forward. She'd been hoping to talk to her first, but she figured that this was just as good. Surprises were awesome, right? ((19:37)) * Nalani perked at the words the Alpha spoke and taking a deep breath moved towards the front of the pack. Her tassel and head lowered but a small smile on her face. ((19:38)) * Korra watched the proceedings carefully before she slowly took a step forward. Joining a pack hadn't be her first choice but she found this place slightly intresting and wanted to see more of what it was like to be apart of it. ((19:39)) * Genesis gave a loud chuckle at Saigh's offering, wasting no time as he dragged himself to his feet, puffing out his chest as he flaunted his worn with age coat. Almost prancing over to take his place among the others who stepped forward. ((19:40)) * %Adalwolfa took intrest in the wolves that went forward ((19:41)) * @Saigh waited for wolves to begin trickling forward. She wouldn't rush them, and knew that it often took the courage of one to rally the others. To her great joy and suprise, the first wolf to step forth was her newfound sister. Her tail wagged and a big goofy grin spread across her muzzle. She gave her sister a nod of approval, unable to keep her tail from picking up the pace. She then spotted ((19:41)) * @Saigh movement out of the corner of her eye and recognized Nalani, the wolf she had recently met stepping forth, she dipped her charcole smudged muzzle to the dramatically colored wolfes. Then Korra and Genesis approached, both of which she had yet to meet but had seen around. She smiled too the four and waited a moment longer for any others to step forward. When no more did she nodded "To join ((19:41)) * @Saigh Kladd`atir, you must endure a period of assessment. This time is undetermined and will depend largely on your attitude. Take this time to get to know the pack, its members, our ways and to decide if this is the pack you wish to call home. You may leave assessment at any time without reprecussion, as well as be removed at the councils descretion. Do you agree to this period of assessment?" she ((19:41)) * @Saigh asked, her chrome hues dancing from one wolfs face to another. ((19:42)) * %Khal perked, then flicked an ear back as Korra stepped forward. He didn't see Brom anywhere, so did that mean the brute really had left? The thought both irritated and relieved him, but he was surprised that Korra had decided to stay. She'd seemed very upset yesterday. ((19:44)) * Saoirse couldn't help but beam back at her sister, glad that she seemed to enjoy the fact that she wanted to join. It really hadn't taken long for her to decide after meeting the fae, after all. After the alpha was finished talking she would dance her forepaws excitedly in front of her, "I definitely agree," she assured her sister, her tail swishing happily out behind her. ((19:45)) * Nalani nodded to the Saigh, not sure her voice would work in front of the whole pack. She hoped her face would sure just how much she wanted to stick around even if her voice couldn’t. ((19:45)) * %`Frost` saw so many new wolves and... the only one she had sort of met was Korra. She nudged Khal, "Who is that? She was... with your father the other day...?" ((19:46)) * Korra watched Saigh carefully as she addressed her and the other wolves that had stepped forward. Korra knew that this wasn't going to be easy but she was willing to try it out. "I agree as well" ((19:46)) * Arya (Arya@f7615ca1.bltmmd.fios.36f5c1fe.net.hmsk) has joined #hollow ((19:47)) * Genesis pretending to give the final step a thought, glancing over briefly at Adal, providing her with a playful grin before returning his gaze to Saigh. ''Would be my honor to take on this challenging assessment, these youngsters beat me to it, But as do I. I agree.'' He hung his head low in a respectful bow. ((19:47)) * @Styx scurries through the treetops, rustling the branches of the trees overhead. ((19:47)) * %Khal was silent for a moment, then spoke, his voice barely above a whisper. "She's my... sister. My half-sister." ((19:48)) * Styx sets mode: +v Genesis ((19:48)) * Styx sets mode: +v Saoirse ((19:48)) * Styx sets mode: +v Nalani ((19:48)) * Styx sets mode: +v Korra ((19:48)) * @Saigh waited for the responce from each wolf in turn. Smiling to Sao, then Nalani who agreed silently, and to Korra and finally Genesis. When all had responded she gave a wolfish grin "Then let your assessment begin. Welcome Korra, Nalani, Saoirse and Genesis! ((19:49)) * %`Frost` just now realized that she had met Gen too, that one time. She wagged her tail, happy for him to be joining. She had not met Nalani or Saoirse though. Her ears pricked to Khal and she nuzzled him gently. Then she lifted her muzzle and howled for Kladdatir's newest assessments! ((19:50)) * @Kelais (Mibbit@7cf33450.hsd1.pa.5aa6454b.net.hmsk) Quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client) ((19:50)) * %Adalwolfa oped her jaws and let forth her unique deep set tone out happy for the new assessments. She gave Genesis a nod and watied to what else might this meeting hold ((19:50)) * Xiodax would howl as well, letting his deeper voice blend with theirs. This pack was growing in strength right before his very eyes. ((19:50)) * %Khal nodded, lifting his muzzle to howl for the new assessments, though very distractedly. ((19:51)) * %Rook` sang out for the new assessments. ((19:52)) * @Saigh flicked her ears curiously, wondering if theere was anything she had missed and nodded, feeling confidant that she had covered everything accordingly. Her tail wagged eagerly as she called out "That concludes our meeting, thank you everyone for coming" she said as she lifted her head for one last howl, beconing the others to join and allow their voices to join together, creating a ((19:52)) * @Saigh packsong as they concluded the meeting. ((19:53)) * %Adalwolfa heres the end and makes her way to a quiter spot to lay . ((19:53)) <%Adalwolfa> hears*
