User blog:Bond em7/B-Crat Meeting

Hey guys, so I know I said I would get a summary out of what the B-Crat team talked about last week at our meeting, and I meant to have it done sooner, but just got busy. So, for those of you who care to know, here's the things we discussed. First we talked about the new meeting policy and voted on it, with everyone voting for it. I've been told I should have a "formal vote" showing everyone agreeing, and I may do that, but understand that the Bcrats have all approved it, so make sure you take a look if you plan to be running a meeting (which should just be Bcrats and admins) It's DAW:MEP. Next we talked about the current war storyline, and where to go with it, and the plan etc. We decided that though it had previously been decided that one side woudl win, that we would make some minor re-writes so it was possibly for either side to win. However, right now the Order of the Pheonix vastly outnumbers the WHPS, so what we need to help make it a possibility that they can win is more people creating WHPS members. If you have questions, ask a Bcrat or admins, but make sure you register them too on the Resistration Page. We especially need foreign WHPS members, so remember that when making them. Also, the order of the Pheonix membership will be locked down for now as there are already more than sufficient numbers, and it is, after all, a secret society. Also, there will be many battles coming up, and we'll need extra GM's so if any admins would be willing to GM battles, please let one of the Bcrats know, as we'll be making a list of GM's for the events. Another point was that at a Previous meeting it was noted that Bryans had the "Leader" of both the Order and the WHPS, so we decided that for now the leadership of the WHPS will transfer over to Echostar and German Alkaev, the Russian Leader. This will make it more "fair" as we have different people leading the two movements. We talked about certain character's roles in the upcoming battles, and some surprises which are to come, but things that I will keep to myself for now. Also, Bryans has an excellent timeline of how he sees the whole things playing out that he shared with us to give us a sneak preview of certain events which are coming and that we need to plan for. The next thing we talked about was holding an election to replace the current Minister of Magic in Britian as the one who played the character is on permenant temporary leave. It will be both an IC and OOC process, and I'll be posting another blog on exactly how we'll be doing it soon enough. Probably later today, so keep your eyes peeled! You could be the next Minister of Magic! Next we discussed the proposed affiliation with the Hunger Games Roleplay Wiki, and though we decided to affiliate with them, we also talked and decided that we'll give it a "trial period" where we'll keep a close eye on the things going on there, and in the next month or two if we feel the need we may revoke the affiliation. So, I need to get that set up with them this week as well. Lastly we talked about breaks, as we all need breaks from this now and again, especially those of us who are on here all the time taking care of the less fun aspects, and Echo has been breaking all summer, Bryans make take a week or two when school starts up again, and I my also take a week or two this fall. SoA didn't have any specific times he was thinking about taking a break, but when he does, he'll make sure everyone knows he's on leave. After finishing our agenda (All of the above) we also quickly talked about the upcoming second task in the House Tournament, and that it would get started soon, and what it would entail. That was our whole meeting which lasted about an hour and a half, but it was time well spent as we got a lot done, and are all operating on the same page. If you had any specific questions about the meeting, feel free to post them below, otherwise, I hope this was useful for letting everyone know what we talked about. Thanks all!
