Sep 20th 8th Official Netheward Town Meeting

Location: Netherward Town Hall

Meeting start: 5:10~ish pm.

Attendees: Cud(mediator), Tex, Exe, Exo, Kitty, Vonkie, Hello, Flam, Ava, Megan, Mob, Crazy, Bob, Ajun

Topic 1: Reintroducing the council structure

*Seeing that there are many new faces, Texas goes over the political structure/committees of the district to clarify how things work.

*Those curious may always find the information here: http://www.reddit.com/r/NetherWard/wiki/politics

Topic 2: Guild plot

*Acquisition complete. Asking the community what to build on it.

*Primary ideal is still the United District, but would like one community building to be on there as well.

*Ideals from the community: Halloween party, Message board, business advertisement, post office, game room, stock exchange, entertainment plot, shopping mall, office space, school, research lab.

*Could take input from city as a whole.

*UN idea is good, but Permissions issue may be a problem as there may be trolling from another district. We may also loss our freedom on Region talk.

*We have a lot of ideas, but lack the lord’s support. Could ask Deadbones? We try not to rely on them though.

*Should represent our district still.

*538 gold a day, btw. DONATIONS STILL WELCOME. We still need to finish buying the plot.

*Builders apply to the building committee/Exeroth to help with the gold plot.

Decision: Cudzer calls for a thread on reddit to collect all ideals. No strawpolls as they are unreliable.

Topic 3: Our position with the LPD

*They have reformed and seem more reliable.

*Some still don’t trust them, some have spoken with LPD members and feel more trust.

*Many say they are comfortable if the LPD enforces our laws, not the lords or their own. This should be made absolutely clear. This is in relation to swammies/other illegal activities.

*We are more looking for permission from the community to begin/restart negotiations with them.

*BTW, we need to put up our laws on the wiki.

*We request for Overlord’s presence to help with discussion. We requested for his story on the reform. He says that LPD did indeed had a tarnished reputation due to bad hiring practice, rumors and officer impersonations. With the help of Sniktaw, Overlord and he had put in place a series of reforms on hiring and procedure, as well as a system for corruption prevention/reporting. Corrupted members have been removed when possible. There is now an academy that all recruits must go through before becoming an officer.

*Question: How does each branch operate away from the Cloud HQ of the LDP? They are the primary response team, and specialists on the district’s council’s laws. They may respond to any other district’s matter.

*Proposal: If LPD can follow our laws to the letter, without overstepping boundaries, we should allow them into the ward. They may build an officer and enforce laws, but they must respect our laws, including swammier permits in exchange. We give two lists. 1. People selling swammies without permits 2. People with permits and able to sell.

*LPD does lord’s law first, then council laws.

*Lords swammie law: possession legal, consumption illegal. Permits in the ward would be a precedent.

*Lords magic law: all magic illegal? We are still unsure.

Decision: Permission to begin negotiations with LPD granted.

Topic 4: Netherward Halloween Events

*We are still looking for volunteers.

*Calender is here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1aPqxfwTYpcjbiQ4BkNG7xJmm9OGlO3S6f9iCOiadwoc/edit#gid=0

Topic 5: Deadbones

*Is he actually going to be involved with the ward? Nah, probably not.

*Should we invite him to things still? Sure, but don’t expect him.

Meeting Adjurned 6:26pm EST.
