[13:08] [Cyriel] Hi everyone and welcome to the first house meeting of 08/09!! :D
[13:08] [Cyriel] I'm sure you're all really excited, but before we can get started, there are a couple of rules you need to follow at all times. *nods*
[13:08] [Cyriel] First rule! Unless you are an operator with the really cool squiggle next to your name, colors off! You can turn your colors off with the simple command "/remote off"...without the quotes, of course.
[13:08] [Cyriel] So everyone with colors, please turn off your colors right...now. Dooo iiit!
[13:09] [Cyriel] Okay, now that all of you are color-free, moving on to the second rule! This one is slightly more complicated so listen (or watch) carefully.
[13:09] [Cyriel] When you have a comment, type "!". Wait for an operator/moderator/owner of a squiggle to call on you. (Make sure to be typing your comment while waiting to be called on though, as we don’t like to wait.) When you are called on, you may then comment. If at any time during the time you are waiting to be called on you decide that you no longer want to comment, please type "-!" and then no one will call on you.
[13:09] [Cyriel] The same goes for questions but instead of using !/-!, you use ?/-?. Simple, ne?
[13:09] [Cyriel] Third rule? Um...well there isn’t one. *adds only having two rules during house meetings to the already extremely long list of why Gryffindor pwns*
[13:09] [Cyriel] Enjoy the meeting!
[13:09] [Cyriel] *tosses mic to Jenneh*
[13:10] [Zee] * so does this mean I have to turn off my colours? :( *
[13:10] [Zee] * ;) *
[13:10] [Akanishi] *swoops in on her broomstick and grabs teh mic*
[13:10] [Akanishi] Um
[13:10] [Akanishi] Technically, you should take out the enders :)
[13:10] [Cyriel] Oh right, we're missing the squiggles
[13:10] [Cyriel] XD
[13:10] * Cyriel didn't notice that
[13:10] [Akanishi] but *moving on*
[13:10] [Akanishi] Welcome to the 2008/2009 school year! There's been a lot of changes to Gryffindor over the summer. The Common Room got a bit of a make over, new sections were added, and there was a lot of changes in the staff.
[13:11] [Akanishi] First, welcome Gryffindor's new Head of House, Prof. Missa Matz.

Once members have passed the tryouts, they also have to post 2 new cheers each month. A member of the Spice Girls should to be responsible, dedicated, creative and spirited.

[13:18] [Cyriel] As the name of the club would suggest, it's a club that does drama stuffs. :D We discuss drama, write our own plays and then perform them on IRC. HOW COOL IS THAT!?
[13:18] [Cyriel] If you were around a couple years ago, you'll remember the club's last few plays. This year there will be plenty of new ones, so do keep your eyes open for announcements about them!
[13:19] [Cyriel] Unfortunately the club applications closed on the 14th of September, but under the veil of secrecy, if you reaaaally want to be a part of the awesomeness, contact me and we can see about it. ^_^ We also always welcome play ideas from anyone, so don't hold your creativity back!

[13:19] [Cyriel] Last, but not least it's time foooor
[13:19] [Cyriel] Point Status Check! \o/
[13:19] [Cyriel] If you take a look at the HOL main page, you'll see that Gryff in currently last in the point race. HOW COULD THAT HAPPEN!?
[13:20] [Cyriel] We're obviously the coolest house, so we deserve to be first, don't you think? XD Now in order to do that, each and every Gryffie has to earn as many points as possible. *nodnod* There are various ways for earning points, here's a pretty list for ya:
[13:20] [Cyriel] - Classes, it's traditionally the best and easiest way, so DO YOUR HOMEWORK.
[13:20] [Cyriel] - Department projects, especially the bookwriting project
[13:20] [Cyriel] - Joining the GQT and helping them win games with highest possible scores
[13:20] [Cyriel] - Joining the Paw Print and writing articles
[13:20] [Cyriel] - Submitting stuff for Prose and Cons
[13:20] [Cyriel] - Writing for the Hogsmeade Herald, Alte, Serpentimes and Wizarding Times
[13:20] [Cyriel] - Random contests like the HOL Idol
[13:20] [Cyriel] In case you need further motivating, let's put it this way. If you don't earn points, we'll come after you with a tape of Wylie singing Britney songs and make you listen to it over and over again. Do you really want to experience that!? D:
[13:20] [Cyriel] Questions, comments, chocolate frogs?
[13:21] [Cyriel] No chocolate frogs? :(
[13:21] * Humfrey snorts
[13:21] [Cyriel] Fine
[13:21] [Cyriel] before we end the meeting
