Tonight we had a meeting on Skype, as previously announced by King Nexus Crow. Here are the minutes.
- In attendance: Nexus, Nydgenga, Tokwan, Esselia, Blackhawk, Elizabeth, Darva, Celwyn, Bear, Jondal'ar, Yoshi
- Current Kingdom funds were discussed: the combined accounts are at $3335.89, of which approximately $1600 are for GV itself.
- The PayPal balance is $617.66, which is earmarked for GE.
- Current PM funds were discussed: $657.50.
- Blackhawk linked a spreadsheet had been previously been worked on by him and Bowen. It is currently out of date, but can be easily updated again.
- Nexus desires to see the new spreadsheet available by the next BoD meeting. Blackhawk, Tokwan, Esselia, and Nydgenga agree.
- Software for managing funds was discussed, such as Mint.com. Such sites were found not to be useful for the kingdom.
- The petition from Gargoyle’s Gate in Virginia.
- They have unanimously decided through an Althing to petition Goldenvale for sponsorship. Any petition requires the permission from Queen Shiva of Crystal Groves first, which would then allow any TaCD requirements to be fulfilled.
- Darva spoke of the current situation in Gargoyle’s Gate and the Kingdom of Crystal Groves briefly.
- Celwyn mentioned that the Kingdom of Crystal Groves is perceived not to give proper support to the park. It’s rarely visited by kingdom officers. The park desires to connect with the rest of Amtgard and they feel that Crystal Groves does not help that.
- Nexus says that all petitions to Goldenvale will be treated the same way, as befitting any park in the game.
- Esselia reassured everyone present that the BoD will treat the petition fairly, but reminds everyone that the populace may not vote in the same manner.
- Darva briefly explained the current legal situation of some members in Gargoyle’s Gate, as well as possible legal action against Crystal Groves by him, but nothing currently is about Gargoyle’s Gate as a whole.
- Darva discussed the rebuilding of Gargoyle’s Gate. Many new players have joined, some even within the last month, but are now exposed to the current drama of Crystal Groves.
- Queen Shiva of Crystal Groves has been informed by Julie about the desire of Gargoyle’s Gate to transfer kingdoms, but the Queen has not been forthcoming since then, according to Darva.
- Nexus has attempted to request information from Queen Shiva, but nothing has been received yet.
- Nexus brings up that that he will be leaving the office of monarch in two days, but that the incoming monarch, Akrith, has been informed of what is happening.
- The potential lack of response from Crystal Groves may hold up the entire process for a while. This issue has prompted discussion of Gargoyle’s Gate becoming a freehold in the meantime, according to Darva. Esselia is in support of Gargoyle’s Gate becoming a freehold, as it removes several issues from Crystal Groves automatically.
- Blackhawk wonders if the Board of Directors can contact the Burning Lands Board of Directors if Crystal Groves does not respond. Nexus feels that the Burning Lands can likely intervene.
- Lisa found that the situation is specifically within the power of the Circle of Monarchs.
- Darva has considered going to the Ombudsman, but Nexus disagrees. Darva countered that the Ombudsman may be able to help in facilitating any discussions.
- Darva learned that Queen Shiva put the sponsorship of Gargoyle’s Gate onto the April Althing agenda.
- Nexus asked if the other BoD members had business. No business was brought up.
- Nexus has filed for a new physical copy of our tax-exempt status.
- Blackhawk mentioned things about sports. Confusion all around.
- Quotes from Pet Cemetery.
- Meeting closes!
