(18:03:54) Cpt T Silver: same with Miller

(18:04:17) Magnus2015: First item of business this night: AS mentioned, I am calling for a guild decision on the matter of Andrew Hopper.

(18:04:25) Magnus2015: As you all know, we haven't heard from him in weeks.

(18:04:35) Magnus2015: I am calling at this time for his expulsion from the guild.

(18:04:43) XGuitarXslackerX: woudl that happen to be luger666?

(18:04:56) Magnus2015: I doubt it.

(18:05:13) Magnus2015: I thought Andrew Hopper was under a different alias.

(18:05:22) Magnus2015: Luger666 drifted in off the message boards.

(18:05:31) Magnus2015: I don't even know much about him.

(18:05:42) Magnus2015: I'm going to send out a more detailed message to him.

(18:05:45) XGuitarXslackerX: he ended up on my gmail list

(18:05:50) Magnus2015: ah

(18:05:58) XGuitarXslackerX: and logged on today

(18:06:05) XGuitarXslackerX: figured it was hopper

(18:06:08) horatiokennedy: back to the matter at hand gentlemen

(18:06:15) Magnus2015: Well, in any case...if it was Andrew, he was way past due to talk to us

(18:06:23) Magnus2015: So I call an officer's vote at this time.

(18:06:38) Magnus2015: Officers, please vote yay or nay on the matter of Andrew's expulsion from the guild.

(18:06:42) Cpt T Silver: He should go

(18:06:49) horatiokennedy: Out the door

(18:07:10) Cpt T Silver: and if he wants to return, then talk next time

(18:07:17) horatiokennedy: her here

(18:07:36) Magnus2015: What do you think Lt. Henderson?

(18:07:50) XGuitarXslackerX: m not a officer

(18:07:54) Magnus2015: Ah

(18:07:57) Cpt T Silver: lol

(18:08:09) Magnus2015: We really need to come up with a formal roster, eh?

(18:08:12) Cpt T Silver: who is?

(18:08:21) Magnus2015: Kennedy, Silver, Tags

(18:08:21) Cpt T Silver: i can do a Guild Tree

(18:08:34) Magnus2015: That would be a huge help

(18:08:37) Cpt T Silver: and update it with every new member

(18:08:47) Magnus2015: With everyone's names and IM handles listed

(18:08:57) Cpt T Silver: ill start it tonight

(18:08:58) Magnus2015: Alright, though, on the matter of Hopper....

(18:09:03) Magnus2015: (thanks Silver!)

(18:09:24) horatiokennedy: I vote for his expulsion

(18:09:30) Cpt T Silver: 2 officers say go so far

(18:09:31) Magnus2015: I can't vote on member expulsions, but both officers present are in agreement

(18:09:49) Magnus2015: So it's official. Andrew Hopper is now struck from the roster.

(18:10:30) Magnus2015: We'll leave the door open for him to come back at some point when things calm down in his workload, but it will take another majority vote to let him back in, given the circumstances for him being booted this time.

(18:10:45) horatiokennedy: right

(18:10:49) Magnus2015: I also want to add: No hard feelings are met to Mr. Hopper. We all get slammed now and then with work.

(18:10:53) Cpt T Silver: yep

(18:11:02) horatiokennedy: ya

(18:16:46) Magnus2015: Don't know if you guys saw it, but it basically had no point, as far as I saw.

(18:16:59) Magnus2015: Unless he was just trying to bring newbies up to speed.

(18:17:20) Magnus2015: Anyway, we're reasonably sure the BETA will launch this month,

(18:17:29) Magnus2015: But I can't find any info about WHEN.
