(Monday April 20th, 2015)
Present†
- Orssus
- Storyteller Kayse
- Chancellor Kaldonis
- Light Keeper Jersea
- Teasurii
- Keeper Astru
- Great Lady Augierose (arrived late, left a little early)
Old Business†
Officer Elections†
- Almost done with the backlog of elections!
- Selema has yet to be invested to Event Coordinator (co-secretary)
- Election of Raincail as Envoy finishes at the end of the week.
- Skipjack might be running for Curator... if he shows up again.
- So far, new officers are meeting their hours.
- Probably no new officers for a while. (yay!)
Olaesta's Event†
- Ruined tower and workshop event
- Coordinated by Ueru (for house project)
- Turned out well.
- Large turnout (11 for the tour, 14 for the workshop, not counting organizers)
- Parts of tour might have been a bit rushed, but that happens.
- Suggestion to do more workshop events due to popularity
- No regular wizard though...
- Teasurii mentions Koda or Faulkil could turn up with enough notice (both have offered to help).
- Astru points out that Augierose was doing a bit at the workshop event too.
Ongoing Business†
Information for New Members†
- Kaldonis did not make much progress.
- Kayse started basic things for people who want to join.
- Important to include:
- House pins (explaining how they work, where to find)
- Finishing list of where all the lockers are in all towns
House tour†
- Kaldonis claims to have heard his tours are "very terrible" (from himself).
- Kayse mentions "I survived a BHA house tour" charms as prizes.
New Business†
Goat pin†
- Formal vote on whether it was okay for Kaldonis to spend 5 million of the house's money on a goat pin for goatfest.
- 5 in favour, 1 abstain (Kaldonis). Motion passes.
- Teasurii asks if it's possible to put a goat pin into the prize closet.
- Kaldonis and Jersea had asked before and told no.
- Discussion on whether it would be possible as a once a year prize since this seems like a good idea (in case we cannot find a goat pin on the market one year).
- Jersea quotes Scrimge: "No this script would certainly not be available as a prize closet item. It might be possible to request one for a raffle, but this would require obtaining permission from the script owner, and may not be possible. You can request it, but there s no guarantee. As such, a reasonable backup idea would be wise to have in your Event Support Request."
- Astru suggests that injecting more goat pins into the market is always a good plan.
- Kaldonis requests an official check for the treasury balance.
- Teasurii quotes "around 123,274,470"
- Kayse claims to owe 25k to the treasury
- Since officers are not allowed to enter the raffle and since it would be cruel to lock the goat pin in a locker until goatfest, Kaldonis proposes to let the officers play with the pin in the meantime and lends it to Jersea for a month.
Quarterly Report†
- We did not request anything on the last quarterly report.
- Annex was requested since Q2 or Q3 last year...
- We got other stuff done since, but maybe giving less work means it will be done sooner.
- Next quarterly report will need anything we'd like to design for goat fest.
- Teasurii volunteers Kirryk, who loves that stuff.
- Also, prizes, props and anything else we need for events.
- More badges for games (like the lightening bolt badge).
- Badges being designed in the wiki Sandbox (mostly Kayse and Kaldonis have done work).
- Kayse designed winterberry perfume as a prize.
Events†
Bardfest†
- Aspis is planning on holding the 20th annual Bardfest this year
- Looking for performers
- Probably also looking for judges.
- Possibly if a BHA officer judges, the house can get some credit.
- Judge needs to commit to all the days (three nights, finals one week later).
Ivastaen event†
- House tour and games run by Ahrairah. (as project)
- Wednesday, May 13th at 9:00 PM EST
Lumnea event†
- Aeia event lead by Astru (after much discussion, see below)
- Time to be determined before calendar submission.
- Jersea mentions having lore and a book.
Future event ideas†
- Another storybook event
- Orsuss's sheath-making workshop
- Ki'lin hunt
- Not until we have a Landing Annex
- Teasurii has a new game called Rolton Rampage
- Can be demoed at a future meeting.
- Possibly next game will be "walk the goat" (after discussion about the need for planks).
- House hunt
- Visit the Huntress's shrine (it's been a while)
Other, slightly off-topic while discussing events.†
- Teasurii mentioned having a number of books about RR to copy to our website!
New Member vote†

- To be inducted whenever an officer finds her and whisks her off to the bank.
