[14:04] [Ruben{Ophthalm}] let's start this meeting
[14:04] [Eno] [*] Yami!
[*]
[14:04] [Ruben{Ophthalm}] so please listen to me :9
[14:04] [Ruben{Ophthalm}] Okay so, to participate in this meeting you'll need to follow some rules :P
[14:04] [Ruben{Ophthalm}] First of all, please don't use colours. Its much easier to log the meeting if you turn off your colour remotes. Gryffindor staff is allowed to use them so you don't miss any important details! You can turn your colours off by typing /remote off
[14:04] [Ruben{Ophthalm}] Also, if you have a comment to make or a question to ask, you have to wait to be called on.
[14:05] [Ruben{Ophthalm}] Type "!" if you want to comment or "?" if you want to ask a question about the topic being discussed at that moment.
[14:05] [Ruben{Ophthalm}] Please start typing it as soon as you used "!" or "?". This way you can enter it as soon as you're called upon.
[14:05] [Ruben{Ophthalm}] If you changed your mind about commenting or asking a question, type "-!" or "-?" and you will be taken off the waiting list.
[14:05] [Ruben{Ophthalm}] aaand
[14:05] [Ruben{Ophthalm}] This is all. Now stay tuned and listen to all the important notices!
[14:05] * ArdeliahISANEISH rummages in her bag for her Mommy/meeting hat that now glows in the dark and puts it on.
[14:05] [ArdeliahISANEISH] Well, well, well. What do we have here? Points are going to waste and that can't be allowed to happen! Have you done all you can do for your house? Exhausted every single points opportunity out there? I know you haven't because I checked. Currently we have last place. LAST PLACE! We have to change that people.
[14:05] [ArdeliahISANEISH] Firstly, you should make sure to complete and hand in all of your homework. AND your extra credit. It is ok if it isn't perfect. You can still earn some points for your effort.
[14:05] [ArdeliahISANEISH] HOL Library projects are my favorite. Right now you can tell everyone how brave you are, (or how much of a scardey cat) with this latest project, My Encounter with an Inferius. Found here. http://hol.org.uk/library.php?mode=view&code=50
[14:05] [ArdeliahISANEISH] There is also your getting into Harry Potter tale. It can be found here http://hol.org.uk/gihp.php
[14:06] [ArdeliahISANEISH] And if you feel so inclined there is a collabrative writing project on going in the library. It can be found here http://hol.org.uk/library_writing.php?view=write
[14:06] [ArdeliahISANEISH] Just sign up and write a chapter, within the guidelines and earn more yummy points.
[14:06] [ArdeliahISANEISH] The Art department is on the ball as well with two new potential points earning opportunities. With A Hazy Shade of Winter you can show people what winter is like in your corner of the world. Whether it is snowy or sunbathing weather. Found here. http://hol.org.uk/art.php?mode=view&code=48
[14:06] [ArdeliahISANEISH] For the romantically inclined out there, you can create the perfect Valentine to send to all of your HOL buddies or just to show off your lack of graphic skills or even just to promote your favorite character. There are still a few days left so give it a try. Found here. http://hol.org.uk/art.php?mode=view&code=49
[14:06] [ArdeliahISANEISH] And then there is the standard HOL trading card. Found here. http://hol.org.uk/tcards.php
[14:06] [ArdeliahISANEISH] And don't forget about house papers. After you contribute your best stuff to the Paw Print you should check out the Serpentimes http://serpentimes.dungeons.org.uk/?page_id=19, Alte Sententiam http://alte.roosted.org/?page_id=2 and The Wizarding Times http://thebadgersett.us/wizardingtimes/contact.php. The other houses do accept our contributions and we can earn points for them too.
[14:06] [ArdeliahISANEISH] So pick something and go out and earn points people. The race for the cup isn't over until the fat lady sings and I have duct tape! She won't sing a note until I let her.
[14:06] [Meredith] !
[14:07] [ArdeliahISANEISH] Kads
[14:07] [Meredith] Clearly, there are a ton of opportunities we should all take, myself included. So get at it, lions!
[14:07] [ArdeliahISANEISH] mmmhmmm
[14:07] [ArdeliahISANEISH] Any one else?
[14:08] [ArdeliahISANEISH] No
[14:08] * Eno is now known as Eno|meeting
[14:08] [ArdeliahISANEISH] Then on to the next topic
[14:08] [Cyriel] We've had some new Gryffindor awards given out since last month's meeting! For the first time in a while (the last time was like over a year ago I believe), the Awards Committee came together and found two perfect candidates for our very prestigious house awards.
[14:08] [Cyriel] The two peoplez were (and I'm gonna be lazy and paste what the announcement read)...
[14:08] [Cyriel] Ronja Liek, who received the super shiny Phoenix Award! Ronja's innovation within the house, especially with her den. Ronja was also one of the brilliant minds behind the creation of the Beetle the Bard Challenge, so the awards committee felt all these fantastic ideas deserved an award! Congrats Ronja and keep the wonderful ideas coming!!
[14:08] [Cyriel] And
[14:08] [Cyriel] Castora Grimsby, who received the super sparkly Platinum Quill Award! Castora's unbelievable dedication to earning points (and us Gryffindor's loooove our points!) have really stood out the past few months! Castora is a super hard worker and it always going above and beyond to contribute around HOL, so it is no wonder why she's one of the top point earners so far this year! Congrats Castora and keep up the fantastic work!!
[14:08] [Cyriel] Do remember to congratulate them when you spot them around the CR or the halls of HOL. ;D
[14:08] [Cyriel] Questions, comments, awards for meee?
[14:09] [Cyriel] No?
[14:09] [Cyriel] No awards? :/
[14:09] [Cyriel] fine XD

[14:24] [Cyriel] ...
[14:24] [Joanne] Kaaaaadsss
[14:24] [Meredith] Babs, do it anyway. We <3 you.
[14:24] [Cyriel] Shun the nonbeliever, shuuuun! D:
[14:24] [Joanne] Agreed!
[14:24] * Joanne shuns
[14:25] [Joanne] Aaanyway
[14:25] * Joanne passes mic to Cyluff
[14:25] * Cyriel clings to the lovely mic
[14:25] [Cyriel] For your own safety, I hope you have heard of this already, but if not.. Weeell, we sort of have a tiny kidnapping problem going on right now in HOL. A person calling themselves "Dakeed" seems to think it's really funny to go around kidnapping HOLers and hiding them Merlin only knows where.
[14:25] [Cyriel] Yes, so far we Gryffs haven't really made a big deal out of it, but the threat is getting dangerously close. Just yesterday, a Gryffindor no other than our beloved Barbara Phoenix became the next victim of the horrible criminal! :o
[14:25] [Cyriel] Could it be that s/he's trying to gather an army of some sort? Are they just looking for someone to make them pancakes on lovely Sunday mornings like this one is for people in certain time zones? We really don't know and we don't really care, the important thing is that the person, whoever the are, needs to be stopped.
[14:25] [Cyriel] Keep your eyes open for anything suspicious at all and try to keep safe. Also check this topic in the HOL forum for all info about the kidnappings http://hol.org.uk/forum/index.php?showtopic=19852
[14:26] [Cyriel] Questions, comments? Butterbeer?
[14:26] [Meredith] !
[14:26] [ArdeliahISANEISH] !
[14:26] [Cyriel] Kads?
[14:26] [Meredith] I'm starting to think he or she wants an epic quidditch team >_>
[14:26] [Cyriel] Oh
[14:26] [Cyriel] that's so true
[14:26] [Cyriel] very likely
[14:26] [Cyriel] Arde?
[14:26] [Meredith] -nods-
[14:26] [ArdeliahISANEISH] I'm keeping the Butterbeer den locked and gaurded until BaPo is found!
[14:26] [Cyriel] XD
[14:26] [Cyriel] Yaaay \o/
[14:26] [Cyriel] Anyone else?
[14:27] [Eno|meeting] ?
[14:27] [Cyriel] Eno?
[14:27] [Eno|meeting] where can we post our names
[14:27] [Cyriel] Post your names?
[14:27] [Cyriel] What do you mean by that?
[14:27] [Eno|meeting] of the kidnapeprs
[14:27] [Eno|meeting] to win i mean
[14:28] [Cyriel] I believe you are meant to let the detectives know about it
[14:28] [Eno|meeting] so pm them?
[14:28] [Cyriel] Yes, that's probably the best way to go about it
[14:28] [Cyriel] I think
[14:28] [Cyriel] ;D
[14:28] [Eno|meeting] ok, thanks
[14:28] [Cyriel] Okay, anyway else?
[14:29] [Cyriel] No?
[14:29] [Cyriel] Alright then, that's about it for this time
[14:29] [Cyriel] MEETING CLOSED
