Balandar: Borg will be unable to make here tonight Balandar: Brightblade would like to speak a bit on a few subjects Balandar: I'll give the floor over to him for the time being Ser Brightblade: Thank you Magistrate Ser Brightblade: *clears throat* Ser Brightblade: For those of you who are unfamiliar with me let me give you a heads up Ser Brightblade: *grins* Ser Brightblade: I am very blunt Ser Brightblade: and to the point Ser Brightblade: It is not within my position to be soft on those who Ser Brightblade: defile the codex Aluim Aster: *watches Brightblade with intent concentration* Ser Brightblade: or do not comply with basic guild structure and practice Ser Brightblade: It is a pity that more are not here Ser Brightblade: as it is the majority of people that are not here that should be hearing my words Steel DarKnight: *nods in agreement* Ser Brightblade: First let me address the issue of titles Ser Brightblade: Titles are given to deserving individuals Ser Brightblade: who have shown that they are leaders Ser Brightblade: To be a leader you must lead by example Ser Brightblade: you must sacrifice a bit of yourself Ser Brightblade: whether it be time spent in a dungeon Ser Brightblade: or time spent putting realm affairs in order Ser Brightblade: or even training a legionaire, squire or knight further Ser Brightblade: I have seen little of this Ser Brightblade: *spits in disgust* Aluim Aster: *raises a brow* Ser Brightblade: Many find the time to complain that things do not move forward Ser Brightblade: I am a firm believer that if you wish to see motion Ser Brightblade: you hold as much a part of responsibility as the next Ser Brightblade: One can complain or one can act Ser Brightblade: There are those of Knight rank and above that have logged complaints Ser Brightblade: and it was all I could do to keep my temper Ser Brightblade: and remember tolerance Ser Brightblade: I put it to those here Ser Brightblade: To lead by example Ser Brightblade: Perhaps those finding comfort with their titles today will not find them in the days to come Ser Brightblade: complacancy is a disease Ser Brightblade: that destroys the best of familys Ser Brightblade: Now..... Ser Brightblade: *takes a deep breate* Ser Brightblade: I have also taken note.... Ser Brightblade: and been very upset at the fact that many people still do not display the proper uniforms Ser Brightblade: as described in the codex Ser Brightblade: Armor is a personal choice for all events but ceremony Ser Brightblade: and when the member of legion sees fit Ser Brightblade: But things such as the cohort sash, kilt and apron of a knight Ser Brightblade: just as one example are not optional Ser Brightblade: Are you not proud to be a Purple Guardian? Ser Brightblade: Are you not proud of your Cohort? Ser Brightblade: If your answers to this are nay Ser Brightblade: then perhaps some personal soul searching is in need Ser Brightblade: If you answer Aye to these questions then it is the least you can do to wear such standards Ser Brightblade: Proudly! Ser Brightblade: *looks about* Steel DarKnight: *nods* Ser Brightblade: I have also noted a disease that spreads around us Ser Brightblade: Those afflicted mutter strange words and gyrate strangely Ser Brightblade: Let me demonstrate Ser Brightblade: Lol Ser Brightblade: Ack Ser Brightblade: Afk Aluim Aster: *nods* Balandar: Brb Majin Boo: *rases hand* Balandar: Roflmao Ser Brightblade: I know not what ails these brothers and sisters Ser Brightblade: but we must do our best to aid them and cure them of such maladies Ser Brightblade: *looks over at Lord Logan* Ser Brightblade: Yes? Majin Boo: *majin* Ser Brightblade: Ah pardon me Ser Brightblade: My eyesight is failing Ser Brightblade: *grins* Majin Boo: The word "Ack" is .. bad? Ser Brightblade: Perhaps that is not one of the sounds uttered Ser Brightblade: by the afflicted but I elieve my point has been made Ser Brightblade: Thank you for pointing that out Ser Brightblade: *grins* Majin Boo: *smiles* Ser Brightblade: I guess even the stern Praetorian can be in err Ser Brightblade: Please dont let that become to public Ser Brightblade: *grins* Balandar: I would like to say something else on this subject. Balandar: I'll speak more bluntly then Brightblade on this though. Balandar: OOC. Balandar: Instead of using the smiley faces, emote *smiles*, *grins*, or *sneers* be creative Balandar: with your emotes so you are not always doing the same thing over and over. Aluim Aster: *tilts his head in confusion* Balandar: Do not go around doing such things as , =), 0-), etc Balandar: Aye, take the Elves for example Balandar: They would rather cut off their right leg then go OOC. Aluim Aster: *looks around* Balandar: I would like to see an attempt made by the guild to stay IC at ALL times. Tyr Antilles BRD: Greetings to everyone, plz excuse us Balandar: *nods to Tyr* Ser Brightblade: *nods* Aluim Aster: *looks back and nods* Balandar: I believe that's about all that needs to be said on that subject. Balandar: Brightblade, please continue. Ser Brightblade: Ok Ser Brightblade: Just a few more items I would like to touch upon Ser Brightblade: This is a very sore subject for me Ser Brightblade: much like the lack of wearing guild standards Ser Brightblade: People refuse to contact the good Magistrate here Ser Brightblade: to do nothing more than get thier names on the public roster Ser Brightblade: I believe it took me all of five minutes to communicate Aluim Aster: *scratches his head* Ser Brightblade: and then to write my information into his roll books upon the skypage Ser Brightblade: Again I say are you not proud of your guild? Majin Boo: *looks confused* Ser Brightblade: Do you not wish to be listed on the public roster? Balandar: Another thing on that. If you are a legionnaire you will be required to have your Ser Brightblade: Do you not wish to make your pigeon roost available to all guild members Balandar: information posted on the skypage. It will be the only way for members to vote on you Balandar: becoming a squire. Ser Brightblade: WHo looked quizically upon me at my last statements? Ser Brightblade: Was there a question I could answer? Majin Boo: No i figured it out Ser Brightblade: *nods* Kurt: *blinks* Ser Brightblade: One last item before I quickly recap Ser Brightblade: for the benifit of those late comers Ser Brightblade: Learn the ranks Balandar: Elven as well. Ser Brightblade: If you are on a guild event Aluim Aster: *looks around* Ser Brightblade: You are expected to follow the chain of command Ser Brightblade: and obey orders from superiors Ser Brightblade: This is done not out of superiority Ser Brightblade: but to ensure that there is not mass confusion Kurt: Hm... Ser Brightblade: which always results in the needless deaths and losses of members Ser Brightblade: of this fine guild Aluim Aster: confusion can kill.. ays Ser Brightblade: When out and about adventuring on non sponsored events Kurt: powerhour Ser Brightblade: please feel free to use whiatever method you wish for your gathering Aluim Aster: *ears perkup* Ser Brightblade: This is only for Guild sponsored events Ser Brightblade: Any questions on it?
