[23:02] <@Kazmarez> OK Meeting starts now :) [23:02] <@Kazmarez> OOC part first as always [23:03] <@Kazmarez> First of all, thanks everyone for coming! We've got a pretty nice turnout tonight too! [23:03] <@Kazmarez> :D [23:03] <@Kazmarez> Now, first thing on the agenda [23:04] <@Kazmarez> Many have asked what the cause was for us moving to a new server. We have had this in works for nearly a year because the server we were on before had a number of shortcomings such as poor (non-existant) support, poor connectivity, lots of netsplits and caused problems for those who use Verizon as a cell phone carrier. So it solves a number of complications. [23:04] <@Kazmarez> Please feel free to visit #WOLF for general chat with some visitors from Sorcery. This way they do not loiter in the OOC and not RP but can still interact with us!

In honor of our packs birthday, we will have a lorenight! The theme being, Kladd`atir! Present something in relation to the pack. Anything. A song that makes you think of the pack, a picture, a poem, artwork, even maybe just a tell us a little of what Kladdatir means to you, or share a memory from the pack.

Keep in mind though, that pups will be born next year (this spring), so if you want to play one, taking on a secondary character now will eliminate your chances of playing a pup in the upcoming litters. The council ...cut [23:14] <@Kazmarez> contin... will determine who is and is not active enough to play a secondary character and you will be contacted. We will be doing this slowly over the next few months so we dont introduce too many new characters at once. Remeber, if you are one who will be allowed, we will contact you . ...end [23:14] <@Kazmarez> comments questions: x understand: - [23:14] <@Kazmarez> ------------------------- [23:15] - [23:15] <%Rhuna> - [23:15] <%Trystian> - [23:15] <@Lindin> - [23:15] <%Chirp> - [23:15] <%Tanvi> - 00[23:16] <%Vesa> - [23:16] <%Nuala> - [23:17] <@Kazmarez> A heads up to everyone - the server will be going down on September 9th from 1pm-6pm EST.

[23:21] I don't [23:21] <%Rhuna> nope [23:22] <@Kazmarez> Great! 14[23:22] * Agro raises a paw [23:22] <@Kazmarez> Agro? [23:23] In regards to the secondary characters; if we want one, we just message a council member a let them know? [23:23] to* [23:24] <@Kazmarez> So we are going to be PM'ing people who are allowed. We have a list but we're not giving them out right at the moment. We'll be phasing them in [23:24] <@Kazmarez> Reason being... we don't want too many new wolves all at once 14[23:24] * Agro nods [23:24] Okey dokey [23:24] <@Kazmarez> But if you are allowed, we will contact you in PM and plan something out [23:24] <@Kazmarez> this is going to be heavily regulated so that we don't have an explosion of new characters [23:26] <@Kazmarez> OK Anything else?

[23:31] <@Kazmarez> Everyone transition IC and post a small intro if you like 00[23:31] <%Vesa> :D [23:32] <%Rhuna> Is Kaz going to howl first? [23:32] <%Rhuna> <>> 14[23:34] * @Kazmarez padded into the center of the clearing after taking a drink at the stream. It was now time for the pack to come together for some cerimonies! Listing his muzzle skyward, Kaz let out a howl for the pack to gather around in a meeting 14[23:34] * %Tanvi woke in the den and stretched before perking to the sound of her father’s howl. With a smile the young fea headed into the clearing to sit in the front so she could watch how everything worked. She was getting older and wanted to find where she would belong, and that meant paying attention. 14[23:35] * %Rhuna Would be awoken by the call of a gathering . Excitedly she jumped to her paws and dashed out the den . . Her eyes wide as she took in the beauty of it for the first time. Quickly she took a seat as the others packemates began to join . 14[23:35] * Maester shuffled his way towards the Hollow, tonight was a meeting by the sound of Kazmarez's howl. Once within the Hollow he seated himself down beside Rhuna, his shoulder brushing hers softly. 14[23:35] * @Lindin had just finished another round of his patrol right when the howl from the Alpha male was heard echo across the territory. Just in time. He would turn to head to the meeting area, already aware of the protocol from doing this many times. Moving to sit down in the circle, his eyes turned to look to see if he could find Vesa or his mate, Saoirse. 14[23:36] * Agro was already darting off for the pack's meeting spot. He'd had a mouthful of plants that he immediately dropped just so he'd get there with everyone else. It wasn't even far, he just liked to be one of the first ones there. The Caretaker skidded to a stop amongst the gathering wolves, flopping down on his haunches and curling his tail lightly over his paws, sitting like he hadn't just 14[23:36] * Agro come barrelling in. So polite. 14[23:36] * %Nuala shook herself, having paused in her trek back toward the clearing, when the summoning howl rang through the air. Darted forward, she chuffed to familiar faces as she entered the clearing and planted herself near the middle. 00[23:36] * %Vesa moved through the clearing, coming up beside her fellow caretaker she'd sink beside the ebony wolf. Smiling though to her parents she felt drawn to laying beside Agro this night. Not minding if Lindin joined her with Agro if her mama was asleep. 14[23:39] * @Kazmarez smiled to all the wolves that started to gather around him. All of them he knew and knew quite well. So there would be no assessment cerimonies tonight. However, there was an assessment among them still. Kaz turned to Maester and woofed, calling him forward* "Maester, will you step before the pack" 14[23:40] * Maester twitched his ears, perking them up as if in disbelief for a moment. Blinking he forced his limbs to carry him forward until he came to stop before the pack as the Alpha had requested. 14[23:42] * @Kazmarez looked to the brute in front of him* "Maester, you have been in the pack for a time now as an assessment. The council has been watching and we have found that you have integrated yourself into the pack as much as we could ask for - especially finding the close friendship of certain few. Is it still your will to be a member of this pack? And, if so, will you stand before the pack now and ...cut [23:42] <@Kazmarez> contin... promise your loyalty to the pack, to your new family, to protect them and to care for them as we all do for each other? Do you also pledge your loyalty to and agree to respect the council as your leaders as well as Saigh and I as your Alphas?" *he asked curiously* ...end 14[23:48] * Maester shifted his weight slightly as he listened to Kazmarez speak. Drawing in a breath he murmured his reply in return. "I am still seeking to be a member of this pack. I promise to remain loyal, protective and caring to this pack. I also agree whole heartedly to respect the council, Saigh and yourself Kazmarez." Bobbing his head in a nod he waited, some measure of pride gleaming in his 14[23:48] * Maester golden eyes. 14[23:49] * @Kazmarez smiled to him* "Then by your words of agreement to this, to dedicate your loyalty to the Kladdatir pack. I then have the honor to name you, Maester a full member of Kladdatir. Welcome home Maester" *he said before howling out for the newest member of the family* 00[23:50] * %Vesa howls for the new member, tailswishing! 14[23:50] * %Rhuna watched the wolf she grown so close to step forward as Kaz summoned him . She repressed a giggle for Maester was drawfed by the monster sized alpha . Once things were done she would take a few steps towards Maester letting out her best howl for him . Then when he got closer weaving her form around him . Nuzzling him lovingly in public . Then returned to her previous place and watched 14[23:50] * %Rhuna wondering what else might happen this night. 14[23:51] * %Nuala raised her muzzle, her lilting song drifting to the sky in congratulations for the male. 14[23:52] * %Tanvi howled loudly for the newest member of the pack. 14[23:52] * Maester was flattered by the howling, pleased to be welcomed. Swishing his tail behind him he leaned slightly against Rhuna, for support. Nodding his head in wordless thanks he returned his gaze towards the alpha, attentive once again. 14[23:53] * @Lindin lifts his head up to howl for the newest full member of the pack! 14[23:54] * @Kazmarez nodded to Maester with a sway of his tail proud of the wolf before turning then to Rhuna. Oh yes, he had to split them up again! how cruel! ;) * "Rhuna, would you please step forward before the pack?" *he asked curiously* 14[23:55] * %Rhuna Slowly rose and padded up to Kazmarez bowing low in submisson and respect before rising and perking her ears wondering why she had been called upon . Silently she waited was she in trouble or had something her thoughts raced . 14[23:57] * @Kazmarez smiled to Rhuna* "Rhuna, you have been experimenting with some ranks and making a tough choice as it were. We have learned that you have come to the decision that you would like to learn more about and audition for being a Guardian. Is this correct?" *he asked with a tilt of his head* 14[23:59] * %Rhuna smiled 14 I would love too if sir Lindin is not to busy to teach me the ways that is sir. 6 Her words steady but her heart quickened hoping the Guardian of the pack would be able to train her properly and it not be to much on him. Session Time: Thu Aug 27 00:00:00 2015 14[00:03] * @Kazmarez chuckled softly and nodded* "Oh yes, he has time... lots of time. He doesn't really do much" *he said teasing as he looked over at Lindin whom he knew was a very hard working wolf before turning back to Rhuna* "In all seriousness, yes... we would love for you to find a place serving the pack. If guardian is where you feel a calling, we will honor that. So, as you know, it will be your duty ...cut [00:03] <@Kazmarez> contin... to learn the ways of being a guardian from Lindin who is the Elite Guardian. Once your training is complete, we will promote you. But, for now, with your agreement to learn under Lindin, I have the honor to name you, Rhuna Auditioning Guardian of Kladdatir" *he said before howling* ...end 00[00:04] * %Vesa howls for Rhuna, smiling to the new Guardian. Chuckling at the Alpha poking fun at her father, her eyes looking proudly at him. 14[00:04] * %Nuala howled for her friend as she began her auditioning period. 14[00:04] * Maester wagged his tail wildly back and forth for Rhuna, this is so exciting for her. Tipping his chin back he howled in congratulations to the female. He was so proud of her, taking on the auditioning role of Guardian. 14[00:05] * %Rhuna lifted her head and looked at the pack with happiness . 14 Thank you Sir . 6 She said to Kaz and headed back to Master and settling once more. <>> 14[00:05] * @Lindin would feign an offended look to his brother-in-law, laughing lightly as he shook his head before lifting his head up to howl for the new Auditioning Guardian! He couldn't wait to get started with training. 14[00:06] * @Kazmarez nodded to Rhuna* "You're welcome" *he said before looking to the pack* "The other wolves whom need cerimonies are not currently in attendence. So this is all for tonight's meeting. We will meet again in a few days (Saturday). I would love to see you all there as well to support your packmates. Thank you all for coming!"
