MONARCH-
1) Bitter Coast- Many issues discussed including their current attendance numbers and the level of their park. While still a Duchy they are currently running at Barony numbers. Their recent Althing discussion included the sentiment of wishing to remain with the Kingdom of Goldenvale, though there was concern that perhaps this feeling was derived from several vocal players who spoke for others. Discussed were several options currently available including possible changes in group level and/or status.
VOTE- A) Take no action currently, but set up a timeline for a gradual transition if possible to Crystal Grove. Included would be consequences of not following timelines, such as demotion to Barony status.
B) Demote to Barony now as well as beginning the transition process.
Option A won unanimously.
2) Arrantor has been missing timelines of Terms and Conditions for submission of paperwork and documentation for their park. They had prior been reminded to meet deadlines, with the consequence of failure being revisiting their sponsorship, and following that another deadline was missed. However due to a large show of good faith and effort on their part, including getting into the officer chats, they have been granted a pass for the time being. The next deadline for paperwork is January 1.
3) The Goldenvale Forums are now operational and the business will be conducted here.
4) Cessation of all Kingdom funding for Great Eastern and Fury events. This would ensure no enrichment of Kingdom coffers at the expense of players, with the onus of fundraising and laying out initial capitol upon the bid winners.
VOTE- A) In favor- 1
B) Opposed- 7
C) Abstain/No confidence- 1
5) Discussed the recent idea of a corpora change that would delineate the administration of the Code of Conduct by the Monarch. No corpora change at this time, however the discussion shall also include a possible position of Goldenvale Ombudsman, to be appointed on a yearly basis, but the BoD. This person would be involved in investigations of complaints regarding conduct of players, and would present findings to Monarch, GM of Reeves and Prime Minister. Questions were asked about how this person would be appointed, but no further info was yet available, with this discussion relegated to the BoD for further exploration.
6) Brought to the table is the notion that the Kingdom needs a Crown. While prior Monarchs have had personal crowns, it is thought that a single crown of Goldenvale, as a heavy unifying symbol, would be desirable. This would also include a documented chain of legal custody to ensure that any funds toward the purchase of such a crown would be protected. The sense of the populace is that the crown not be from Kingdom coffers of prior money, but rather be from a separate designated fund raising effort. Several artisans will be researched, however the first inquiry into the matter yielded a rough estimate of $400-$500 for a metal crown with decoration and stone inlays.
7) New revised Corpora will be posted online shortly. Primarily changes were for organizational purposes, but some functional changes are included. The largest functional change would be to enact a scaling system for how Crown Quals will work for smaller groups.
8) Discussion to change the park of Goldenvale Proper to "Daylight Savings Time" and to begin 1 hour earlier, at Noon, for the winter times. PASSED.
9) Next week on 11/23, on the Concord St side of Greeley Park will be the celebration of Shanksgiving. Included will be prizes for potluck dishes as well as food donations for a local food bank. This will be updated to begin at Daylight Shankings Time of Noon. (A dual at high noon! Appropriate!)
CHAMPION-
1) There will be open RP in events and meets in the future, no rules set as of yet, however quest abilities will be included.
2) There will be a tourney next weekend, with folks with low or no Orders of the Warrior heartily encouraged to participate, and those with many Orders of the Warrior heartily encouraged to reeve etc.
REGENT-
1) Miniature painting class tonight, all costs free, 5 more spaces available.
2) The beading class will now be instructed by Nexus Crow, with date TBD.
POPULACE-
Petra- With the new forums, how will admins be appointed in the future. Would the votes be from the full kingdom, have 1 year terms? The issue is adopted by King Nexus, to allow nominations of admins, with the issue also being brought to the BoD.
