Topic 1: Neutral position

*Relations with loyalists and rebel districts? We may be attempted to be swayed to one or other.

Decision: We are open to both

Topic 2: Swammies

*Illegal by most lords. DB no stance.Should we based decision on lords’ opinion?

*Totally open?

*Possession legal, permits for selling? Loss of sales likely, but we are not worried about that. (SWAT team looking to Ally with LPD)

Decision: Permits.

Topic 3: Is LPD same as loyalist?

*Clarification from Overlord: technically as an organization, they are neutral.

*They arrest lawbreakers, rebels and loyalists alike.

Topic 4: LPI, is it shut down?

*Overlord: Yes, disowned and shut down. There’s been an overhaul recently stamping down on corruption and disorder

Topic 5: Criminals hiding in NW

*Should all criminals be able to find refuge in NW, or only our residents? Terrible idea to harbor criminals, many do not want that.

*Maybe LPD can provide us with criminal list, and we assist them.

*What if Criminal becomes resident to escape crime? No, they should not have their crime wiped just because they became resident.

*What about travelling NW residents breaking the law of other districts IN other districts? LPD may deal with them, or hand them over? We voted: They may be arrested for that.

Topic 6: Swamming planting problem

*LPD had a record of their policemen planting swammies on others to jail them.

*We suggest that the rods be magicked so that the carrier of rod may not carry swammy either.

*Swammies are destroyed after arrest

Topic 7: Inter-district relations MQ, DD, Brickton, CK, VY

*MQ: Unofficial friendship

*Brickton: Block: No discusssion yet, but we are a noble lot

*Better relations = better hosting of events

*Returns and terms may be negotiated. NO SOULS.

Topic 8: Cross-district meeting

*VY wish to set up one, we agreed to host it. And ALL district meeting, not just two.

*May use Lomgov sub reddit. Easier to contact each subreddit though. More engagement.

*Need neutral ground to meet on, in case some districts may decide to be rebel.

*We may cycle through. Monthly meeting, not weekly.

*Will we have enough seats? With 2 from each district as speakers, yes.

*Nonpartison mediator, someone not allied with any district. May be difficult logistically.Have hosting district present a mediator to be of a compromise.

Decision: Voted. Friday night, 5pm EST. Contact each subreddit about the meeting. Reschedule if objection arises. Host shall decide the neutral mediator, may or may not be district rep.

Topic 9: Expanding Police Force of NW

*More stations? Yes. Spread out in district.

*Current Chief of Police (Prker) should elect officers.

*Overlord’s advice: Don’t spread too thin with many small stations. Centralized large is good.

*Right now, small is okay, but later we may need to expand.

Topic 13: Council size smaller
