Some members of the FRR community have made me aware of a want to have large FRR wide meetings on a regular basis to both discuss community and CW matters. To keep everyone updated on events, to explain the rational for certain decisions and finally to create an open forum where everyone has easy access to myself.

This is not a legislative or executive meeting. There won't be votes or anything like that. More of an attempt to further unify the community and put the truth of many matters front and center where they can be exaimined, discussed and explained.

Also, for whatever reason, some folk think I am a Dark Lord sitting upon my throne of malice in the high tower of the ISEN where none can visit me. I was told that having such a meeting would be a good way to show people that isn't really true. However, I kind of like the way it sounds now that I wrote it out like that.

Anyways this'll be a test run for this sort of meeting. If it runs over long, gets over dramatic or causes more problems then it is intended to resolve we will probably not try again. But, if it goes well maybe we can make it a monthly event to keep everyone informed.

You can ask me questions about Holmgangs and server permissions and cowards and ISEN and Thegns and The Royal KungsArme and Yule and CW treaties whatever else you fancy. I can't promise you'll like all the answers, because I am not super diplomatic, just pragmatic, and be aware I probably take the concept of emulating Norse culture further then most other unit leaders.

When:
November 21st Saturday at 8pm EST

Where:
The FRR hub

The Agenda:

• Future plans for the FRR
  
• Server Permissions
  
• CW Treaties
  
• The Royal KungsArme (RKA)
  
• Yule
  
• Holmgangs
  
• Cowards (and people with that tag)
  
• ISEN/Thegns/Might Makes Right mentality

I hope that you're keep your cool while answering, otherwise the idea can easily backfire as recently shown (not that i anticipate that).
Hopefully, an open discussion, will help to keep the tension down and further unify the ffr as a whole.

I vote that you do have votes on whether or not to vote on stuff.

PS I might be able to start playing more often again, how's the Isen library doing?

The RKA leadership exists to vote on official matters.

The ISEN library is dusty and many of our sage sagas have become misplaced. The Mad Jarl could use a Mad Librarian again.

Very diplomatic pragmatic indeed, but, since you asked so kindly, i'll do just that.

It appears that dane does not want me to discuss or mention anything regarding that matter here. I do respect that and i'll send you a PM instead.

[Pestolents]

[Jarl Dane]

Okay. Its not like a super official things where reps from all teams should be present. More informal.. but yeah all are welcome you want to listen or have questions.

[Windscape]

Not really. I guess you could say my initial list is a rough draft of topics I'll cover though.

• Server Permissions
  
• CW Treaties
  
• The Royal KungsArme (RKA)
  
• Yule
  
• Holmgangs
  
• Cowards (and people with that tag)
  
• ISEN/Thegns/Might Makes Right mentality

It is my impression that people have questions about those things. So probably a good place to start.

[Windscape]

sounds good!

[Jarl Dane]

I'll just add that list to the OP

[-Vompo-]

As this meeting is held at 3am for me I may not be there. I'd be interested to know what is the deal with the coward thing?

Fine... Someone write it here once it's over.

[Jarl Dane]

IT CAN ONLY BE OPENLY SPOKEN OF ONCE.

Dane works 7 days a week, it's the reason a lot of events that require him to be present are at inconvenient times for Euro TZs.

As I most likely cannot discuss the point in the meeting I feel that I should express my opinion about this coward tag now. I can only guess what the tag is for. I would guess it has something to do with your trials by combat and refusing them.
I cannot find anything positive about calling people cowards and even less tagging them as such. It is only a way to anger players and driving the community apart. If anybody can explain what the FRR community can gain from this tag please do. I don't see it as a good idea and think that it should be reconsidered.

Please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
