Announcement: 1st E.P.O.C.H. Monthly Guild Meeting (06.06.10)

This is our first trial run for a monthly Guild Meeting as many Agents have expressed an interest in having one.
If successful they will take place on a monthly basis, on the first Sunday of each month (unless specifically altered to another date and everyone informed)
Each meeting will be Chaired by either a Guild Leader or Officer and attendence is voluntary, not manditory.
Each meeting will have a thread like this one dedicated to it in advance of the actual meeting where an Agenda can be worked out between Guild Members.

Please note that this first Guild Meeting will be shorter than normal seeing as it is a test run. Future Guild Meetings will run on as long (or as short) as needed to cover all points.

• Meeting due to start 19:00 (E.P.O.C.H. UK Site Time)
  
• Meeting duration = 1 hour
  
• Chairing = Lunarwolf

Points of Discussion:

RECRUITMENT: We will be discussing our state of recruitment upon SWTOR.com and other sources, as well as any other ideas to improve/enhance the amount of new members joining the guild.

FREELANCER SCHEME: We will cover talks about the newly-implemented Freelancer Scheme, and people can leave their feedback, offer suggestions or voice concerns.

REMNANTS OF MANDALORE: We will discuss the state of play with one of our older allies and work out some ways to either aid them or discuss alternative possibilities for their future working relationship with E.P.O.C.H.

THE FRONT PAGE: We'll be unveiling and discussing PrioryJK's awesome front page and will be trying to work out a way to add it to the site.

ROLEPLAYING: A discussion about the state of play with Roleplaying on E.P.O.C.H. (currently covering Play-By-Post only) and what we would like to do with it in the future.

Q&A: For the final part of the meeting the floor will be thrown open to Agents to ask any guild-related questions to the Officers and Leaders. This can be anything so long as it is relevent to the Guild or our place within TOR.


An announcement will also be placed within the E.P.O.C.H. STEAM group shortly. (EDIT: Steam Link)

If you able to attend this meeting please reply in the thread below so we can get an idea of attending numbers.

Thanks,

19:00 is one hour too early for me, I'll be having dinner here '^^ Could we imagine moving it by 20:00 or 20:30? I may not be able to move the dinning time here.

Alas I'm at my brother's place and I'll be needing to steal his pc to do the meeting. If its later than 7pm it will have to be quite a LOT later as I will need to ride across county to get back to my place.... probably wont even get in until 8 - 8.30 UK time.

:'( I was so willing to be there! I hope someone will post the chat's log so I can see what I missed (including PJK's dirty jokes >_< )

The Front Page

I'm not that fussed but this might be a good time for the front page to be discussed even just shown to members to see if they approve ?

I should be able to make that time

Great Idea! I'll add that to the Agenda.

As for times, is there anyone else that cant make 7pm (UK time)? We have enough days ahead to change it

I'll be there!

I won't be able to make it unfortunately Please inform me on what was said, sounds like it will be really interesting.

Aww I'm sure we can transcript it.

I had to go check where the front page was actually, you can see it now Harly if you want if your not going to be able to make it

I'll probably be there but I'm feeling mighty sick at the minute, so not sure how long I'll be on. Hopefully we'll get a through a lot of the topics without too much debate or going off-topic (Dark-sided Ewoks anyone?).

I should be there

By the way is this being held on the STEAM group or here? Personally I'd prefer it over at the STEAM group as this chatbox lags and we won't have any allies sticking their nose in!

I'd sign right away for a dark-side jawa but not for a dark side ewok.

Marvellous! I guess some Agents might have to get signed up to it then.

That would be awesome - yes please!

I'm going to try very hard to make it.

I've added "Roleplaying" to the Agenda because I think its worth us chatting about it.

Also I've moved this thread to Guild Events rather than Guild News (where it was) because it seems a more appropriate home for it.

I've got a few discussion points but I may well save them for the next guild meeting. If you're chairing this one I may do the next one if thats alright with you mate?

Most definately

This one's a sortof test so I've not included too much on the Agenda - I know we have loads more to talk about!

Apologies for the double-post but a thought occurs...

Would anyone be interested in taking minutes for this meeting?

I've not found a way that you can 'save' conversations conducted in Steam. I don't think I'll be speedy enought to be able to chair it and cut and paste info into another document for later uploading...

As in 10 minutes per topic? I can do that if you like? I think cutting and pasting the whole thing would be the best plan and when it comes to putting it up on the forums just segment it.

Aye about 10-15 mins per discussion point.

It might run slightly over the hour now seeing as the Frontpage and Roleplaying discussions have been thrown into the mix, but probably won't be a whole lot longer.

I'd appreciate that Sure, cheers.

If anyone has problems joining the chat room (i.e. you click the button and nothing happens), try restarting Steam.

Yeah I'm having huge issues signing in. I'll try and restart it now. BTW L-Dubz is running 15mins late guys.
