No, not the kind you lean up against the house for painting, but the kind for calculating and tracking ELO ratings. 

Anyone know of one?

What : Vanillia Raid : Labyrinth
Where : The Twilight Forest
When : Sunday 6/2 @ 4P/7E  (THAT'S TODAY!!!)

-------------------------------------------

What's a Vanilla raid?  There can be nothing on your body that cannot be made in vanilla minecraft.  That means no power armor, no rail gun, no advanced nano, no jet pack.

What's a Labyrinth?  It is a maze, underground in the Twilight Forest, filled with Minataurs, fire beetles and lewts.

Hop on mumble, enchant yerself a diamond sword, and meet at the Twilight portal in the center of town.

That's right!  Every member, every division, every game; we're all coming together for one big meeting!  There will be fun, there will be (at least one) contests, there will be door prizes and there will be gnome/asura jokes.  Best of all, it's more than just another meeting on ventrillo or mumble.  Pie has prepared a place for us in Second Life!  We have our own, tropical TG hang out, complete with beach blankets to lounge on, a yacht and an arcade on a boardwalk!


Please do your best to join us Wednesday night, May 15th at 6P Pacific, 9PM Eastern.  The meeting will take place in Second Life and on Mumble.  If you can only make it onto voice, that's understandable, but I promise it'll be a ton of fun if you can get in Second Life.  The Second Life client is only a 200mb install, the account is completely free and we'll all just be able to hang out an laugh at how silly our avatars look... or at the banana Dak is wearing on his head.  We'll have a competition to get the highest score on skeeball (with a prize!), hang out an talk about general guild stuff as well.

Plan for this to be a relaxed meeting, hanging out with members from across multiple divisions, meeting new people and just generally having a good time.  I'll update everyone on some guild-wide initiatives, Jaeden will have an update on one or two charter amendments and I (and/or the rest of the council) will field whatever guild related questions or issues you want to bring up.

All other guild events for that night will be canceled or rescheduled... soooooo... NO EXCUSES!   Come hang out with everybody!  There will be alot of notification about this.  Officers and councilors will be blasting reminders in guild chat, I will be do.  MOTDs will remind everyone... we want everyone to know, every one to attend!

We're putting together a simple, straight forward guide to get your account created, the "Firestorm" Second Life client loaded up and get you teleported to Guardian Island in-game.  We'll also have a second, more advanced tutorial if you want to dig deeper, but the first simple one is really all you need.  Expect to see that before the weekend is out!  We've also scheduled a quick hop-in and test night (Monday, May 13th from 5P/8E until 7P/10E) if you want to give it a whirl before the meeting, take a couple practice runs at Skeeball or have someone show your around and do some in-game shopping.  We've been scoping out free clothing stores, so if you want to do some shopping for your avatar, that'll be a great night for it.


I hope everyone can make it a priority to attend.  We had a test run of this for an officer's meeting and it was really a great time.  We're not going to have this event super often, so we'd really like as many people as possible to attend.  For those who can't make a weekday night, we'll have a short follow up meeting at 1P/4E on  Saturday the 18th.  Merriment to be had then as well, but the real show's Wednesday night. 

Agenda is as follows...

See YOU on the ides of May!

Huzzah!   Greetings and good evening fellow Guardians.  This evening we're having an all officer's meeting that's been planned for about 2 weeks now, and we're using it as a test for a future all guild meeting.

"A test?"  You say.

"Why yes!"  says I.

We're going to see how things shake out, but the plan is to have an all guild meeting approximately two weeks from now and we'll all meet up in mumble and in Second Life as well!  This will give us a chance to have a meeting with everyone from ALL divisions while at the same time being in a "game space" that doesn't cost anyone a dime and also has the benefit of being a minimal install footprint!  A mere 200mb.

tl;dr : Tonight we're testing meetings via second life combined with mumble and we'll be live streaming it on our Twitch channel at twitch.tv/guardianhq.

Stay tuned for future updates on the all guild meeting and tune in tonight to take a look at the all officer meeting!  (6P/9E)

I, Thranx, proclaim this marvelous.
