[13:05] [Cyriel] Hello and welcome to the first meeting of the new term! \o/ Are you excited, are you!? You should be, because we've got a lot to tell you about. ;D Before we get to the fun part though, there are a couple of rules you guys need to keep in mind, so listen up.
[13:05] [Cyriel] Firstly, please type “/remote off”, without the quotes. In case you wonder, that's a command that'll make your colours magically disappear. We realize you love your colours, but they make logging the meeting difficult, so try and do without them for the next half an hour or so. :D
[13:05] [Cyriel] Secondly, if you have a question or just want to say something, preferably related to the topic, type "!" for comment or "?" for a question. Someone will call you and you get to talk. Do start typing right away though, that way things will run smoothly.
[13:05] [Cyriel] If you happen to change your mind about commenting or if your question gets answered before you ask it, just type "-!" or "-?" and you will be taken off the waiting list.
[13:05] [Cyriel] Aaand that be it. Let the meeting begin!
[13:06] [Lulu] I love copy-paste messages .....
[13:06] [Cyriel] *Tosses mic to the next person*
[13:06] [Cyriel] We all do :D
[13:06] [Cyriel] Remember the rules though Lucy ^^

[13:17] [Cyriel] Time for Den news. :D
[13:17] [Cyriel] First of all, the December challenge results. *gaspeth*
[13:17] [Cyriel] In second place we have Lunatic Leopards and after a continuous row of second places, Paranoid Panthers pulled through as first!! \o/ Both dens had made unbelievably cool portraits, so go check their websites out here: http://www.gryff.net/CR/index.php?showtopic=1238
[13:18] [Cyriel] Twister Tigers unfortunately couldn't send their entry in on time, but I'm sure they will this month. ^__^ After all the February challenge is up already. It's amazing how fast those challenges get posted these days, I know!
[13:18] [Cyriel] This time the idea is to make a Den yearbook kind of thing, covering September to January, aka the first term.
[13:18] [Cyriel] It can include anything and everything about how cool your den is, what you've been up to for the past 5 months and possibly how much you adore the SPD peoplez. *cough* You know, just to be sure. ;D More info right here: http://www.gryff.net/CR/index.php?showtopic=1343
[13:18] [Cyriel] Questions, comments? Leftover cheesecake from your den's last party?
[13:18] [Cyriel] Ooor perhaps some random cheers? :D

[13:22] [Zenix] Weeeeeee!!!!!! SPAM!

[13:22] [Zenix] MOGZ! We get to give professor’s names too?! NO WAYZ! Yes wayz! A valid reason to create and give wacky, crazy and basically INSANE names to Gryffindor House Professors! I’m totally already composing my list to, erm, myself as we speak!
[13:22] [Zenix] If you have a crazy, psychotic and amusing name to give to a Gryff professor, PM myself or Professor Gwyd Aerlyn (I warn you, she bites) with them! We are soooo looking forward to getting this going!
[13:22] [Zenix] For more information, check here: http://www.gryff.net/CR/index.php?showtopic=1349
[13:22] [Zenix] And while you’re there, write something nice and appreciative about Gryffindor professors! *cough*

[13:24] [Akanishi] yayyy <33
[13:24] * Zenix snickers
[13:24] [Akanishi] And now, it is time to talk about..... POINTS! *steals Zee's*
[13:24] [Akanishi] Gryffindor is NARROWLY in third place (again) with 58510, a margin over Slytherin of only 32 points. (Srsly peoples. I don't like third, and I reeeeally don't like fourth. *bops everyone*)
[13:24] [Akanishi] Sooo, I propose we kick some major butt and make second term OUR term. We can still catch up and earn lots and lots of points!
[13:25] [Akanishi] Anyways, want to know how you can earn points this term? It's easy!! Be active! Do your classwork! Participate in all that HOL has to offer! :D :D :D
[13:25] [Akanishi] Obviously, with the new term the best way to earn points is to TAKE CLASSES!!! (I myself was able to earn oh, 1200 points from that? And that means you can, too!)
[13:25] [Akanishi] Also, for our newest wonderful members of Gryff, you can turn in your, ‘How I Got into HP’ story, more info here: http://www.hol.org.uk/gihp.php
[13:25] [Akanishi] Also, turn in trading cards here: http://www.hol.org.uk/tcards.php
[13:25] [Akanishi] Finally, keep an eye out every month for the Paw Print's Prose and Cons submissions! They will be posted in the Great Hall.
[13:25] [Akanishi] Go Earn. Points! *cries on people* POINTSIES. NOW.
