There were no Chancellory announcements at the meeting.
[[..Presidential Announcements..]]
Raziel -
Wished to note the three executive orders that were issued this week. He informed that the orders were temporary until the new Event Mandates were released.
If any member of AoRG would like to participate in the discussions regarding mandate revisions, please contact the Tresvir to be involved in one of the teams.
[[..Relevant Forum Announcements..]]
Dragon (DragonMcCombs)
Request: Individual requested that the Templar University Schedule be placed in the AoRG Weekly Newsletter.
Q (AnnisXXII): What is the Templar University?
A (DragonMcCombs): "The school portion of the Templar. The answer to what Loreil wasn't doing...?"
Comment (VvRazielvV): Submit the paperwork to Annis and it will be looked into. There will be a disclaimer though stating that the University is not directly AoRG related.
Alex (AlexCollinsworth)
Q: Could Sir Dragon explain exactly what Templar University is for those who know nothing about it?
A (DragonMcCombs): Says it is like "Loreil 2.0". The University is similar to the Academy.
Tradan (Madcatz1)
Comment: It seems the Templars have divided Loreil and the Wardens, and is not something AoRG should be involved in because it is more of an internal conflict of Loreil.
Q (VvRazielvV): AoRG has no official involvement with either group. At one time, there was diplomatic relations with Loreil and there was an ambassador from them. When Michael Damascus resigned from his post, there was never any further discussions between Loreil and AoRG.
Cassy (DrkCrimsonTearz)
Comment: She has been looking at the portal for a University and believes that the Templar would be a great addition for studies within AoRG. She is glad to hear the Chancellory will be looking into them.
Nathanial (TiefIing)
Comment: The Templar people don't bother to ask if you want mail from them before they sent the stuff to you.
Alex (AlexCollinsworth)
Comment: As there is no working agreement with Loreil, but their schedule is posted in the newsletter, it only seems fair that the Templar's schedule be granted the same rights.
A (VvRazielvV): A valid argument and one that will be taken into account when the materials are submitted.
Annis (AnnisXXII)
Comment: Wishes to say that this information on the Templar came from out of the blue and she has never heard of it before. The information when first received was discarded, but she does have a fresh copy of the information now to be reviewed.
Maddie (Madcatz1)
Q: When will CoA get word whether or not it has been accepted into AoRG?
A (VvRazielvV): As soon as a vote has been concluded, the guild will be notified.
Mun of Raziel (VvRazielvV)
I'm looking for a talent with maps .. gaming cartography or whatnot. I'd like to try and get a new AoRG map going for when we update and improve the land mandates down the road.... there's plenty of time but I want to get it out there. There may possibly be a contest with some in-game rewards.

Executive Orders 01.05.07, 02.05.07 & 03.05.07
By executive order of the President of the Association of Rhydin Guilds:
01. From this day forward all Mass Combat (MC/MS) matches in Events must have in participation members of at least two different AoRG guilds.
02. Members may not stack event matches. This has become too great a problem. For this reason I am reinstating an executive order that I made in that past that was overturned during an interim administration. There may be no more then 5 matches per event that contain the same three members in the same match in any capacity (proctor, challenger, challenged).
03. It has been made clear that too many are not participating in events in the spirit of the events system. The main purpose for events is to provide interaction between the guilds of AoRG. For this reason I am ordering that from this day forward no more the 50% of the matches submitted by members of a guild can contain only members of that guild. Any matches above 50% of all the matches a guild has submitted in an event that only contain members of the submitting guild will be completely voided and nullified. This will be determined at the end of an event when all the matches are counted and will be counted by the time matches were submitted.
Example... 100 matches are submitted by proctors of guild XYZ. Of those 100 matches 52 of them only have members of XYZ as participants. Only 50% (In the case of a decimal we will round up to the nearest whole number) of the matches XYZ submitted can be allowed with all participants being from XYZ, which equates to 50 matches. So the last two matches submitted where all participants are from XYZ will be voided.
KISS - The easiest way to follow this Order is for proctors to follow this principle: For every match you proctor that contains only members of your guild, you should proctor at least one match that includes at least one person that is not in your guild.
These executive orders are being implemented to provide a more fair and more interactive environment in Events.
All orders here are in effect until new Events Mandates have been created and approved by the Chancellery.
More executive orders may occur as we proceed with the business of creating new Events Mandates which is next on our docket.
The Vice President is asked to include this message in the Newsletter and the Chief of Staff is asked to forward it to the Guild Commanders from her office with any staffing notes she may wish to make.

AoRG Forum Meeting - April 25, 2007
[[..Chancellor Announcements..]]
Healers Administration - Trinisty Demonblade (HellFireandIce)
--Apology given for delay in grading of dests. Chancellor Trinity had a fire in her office and lost mos to the files and is attempting to
find copies of them all. She requests that any still waiting may resubmit their tests for grading. Also, if there are any complaints directed
towards her as a Chancellor, she asks that the individual come to her first to discuss and recify the situation.
Vice President - Annis (AnnisXXII)
--Request that all GCs send in a current list of all in their guilds who should receive the AoRG Newsletter.
Events Administration - Minya (MinyaDkbld)
--If there are individuals GCs wish to receive event-related mail (Final Tallies, Flyers, etc), drop the Events Administration a note and
they will ensure the individual(s) is added to the list. (Mailstring: VvRazielvV, AnnisXXII, Leoperdis, MinyaDkbld, CrucifiedReverie,
XDeadly BeautyX)
--There are no event dates open in 2007 any longer. Cancellations will be made known as soon as they occur.
[[..Member Inquiries..]]
Glacia DuBois (Glacia8984)
Q: Will the two week event submission rule be bypassed if an event cancellation occurs?
A (MinyaDkbld): Yes, given there are no event dates remaining, the two week rule will be bypassed. There does however need to be
a minimum of five days for forum members to register for the event.
Wesley (WesleyLyzanders)
Q: When one is dead by AoRG standards, are they barred only from AoRG Public Rooms or all Public Rooms?
A (Glacia8984): Concerning Assassinations, the rule should apply to all public rooms. However, as AoRG does not have any authority
over other forum rooms, they cannot enforce such a rule.
W: Could you please specifiy what the result is for a type of death other than an Assassination?
A (Leoperdis): When one is dead, they are dead. They are not allowed to be in public rooms.
W: Why does AoRG feel it has the right to say there can be no public rooms? Other forums allow the individual to be in public rooms as a ghost.
A (AnnisXXII): It is expected that when one is dead, they are dead. They are not expected to be walking about. While the authority to govern
rooms of other forums, it is expected that members of AoRG will uphold the "Spirit" of the mandates.
A (Leoperdis): The mandates state that when a person is dead, by any means, they are barred from public rooms. A person is dead
everywhere, not just in certain realms as they choose.
A (AnnisXXII): Clarified that AoRG is not trying to control where individuals go, but that if a complaint is lodged, the situation would be
evaluated more thoroughly.
Q: Also, Why does AoRG not require AoRG rooms to be registered with the forum? It would cut down on confusion at times.
A (Leoperdis): The topic has come up many times and has been considered very carefully by the Chancellory. It is not that the task
is unfeasible. At the present, there is no plan to put it into place, but it may come to pass in the future.
Drak (DrakeBloodblade)
Suggestion: Because of the confusion over which rooms are considered AoRG and which are not, perhaps it is best to have each guild
submit two rooms for themselves. Of course, to ensure these rooms are being used, the rooms would need to be reviewed from time to time.
DesertFang (DracScaleWyrm)
Suggestion: An arrangement for extradition treaties with other governments to allow for hunters and assassins to conduct contracts within
the other government's lands.
Destiny (DestinyAntonia)
Suggestion: Seeing that there are beasts who complete contracts for hire, they do not read signs or check which land they are in; members from
other forums come to our lands to complete contracts with little regard for the AoRG system, why should it not be allowed for the
members of AoRG.
Vincent (CptMichaelKage)
Q: Given that if the room owner is a member of AoRG, the AoRG rules apply. Would AA's and BH's be valid in those rooms because of
the owner?
A (Glacia): The AoRG Charter states that any room which does not include the name of another forum or non-AoRG guild is considered
to be a legitimate AoRG room if the bolt holder is a member of AoRG.
Destiny (DestinyAntonia)
Comment: If attempts were judged on a case-by-case basis, fines would not be dealt out for attempts.
A (Leoperdis): The case spoken of was specific and still in discussion, so would not be spoken of tonight.
Response (DestinyAntonia): Case-by-Case causes too many headaches and work. There should be a general rule.
Comment (Glacia8984): The attempt would not be fined, but simply voided.
DesertFang (DracScaleWyrm)
Comment: Concerning policies across the board, if one doesn't wish for the public to frown on them, act like you want to be treated. Also,
if the forum were more firm in its dealings with those who seek ways to circumvent the rules, there would be less of it.
Trai (TraiTRune24)
Q: If a person wishes to die in a non-AoRG room, for any reason, would the Chancellory void the attempt?
A (Leoperdis): Cannot imagine the Chancellory declining such a request.
Corlock (Corlock3)
Q: While the mandates mention it is illegal to use bots, what are the penalties?
A (Leoperdis): There is no extensive info on it. The situation is handled on a case-by-case basis.
Maddie (Madcatz1)
Q: In regards to the AA attempt made on himself, he did nothing to stop it, instead others did. All others save the assassin and proctor
remained.
A (Leoperdis): Because this is a matter still under discussion, it will not be discussed in the forum meeting.
Comment (DestinyAntonia): Accuses Matcatz1 of bolting assassins.
Comment (Madcatz1): Did not bolt the assassin and proctor, but others that followed.
Comment (Leoperdis): Announces the topic is closed in a very firm manner.
DesertFant (DracScaleWyrm)
Suggestion: Contracts of differing costs could be created, where a higher priced contract has a farther reach (able to hunt in room with
no clear forum marker).
Kuma (Xyshuryn)
Comment: Kuma caters weddings, parties, and the like, so if any other AoRG guilds have a chef of sorts, he is willing to have a cook-off
where the real winners are those who come to enjoy the grub.
Annis (AnnisXXII)
Q: Requested that any questions about the relaxed UniReg Rule be asked now.
A: No questions were asked.
Jade (XvJadeDrkwoodvX)
Q: Was wondering if submitted suggestion was received by the Chancellory.
A (Leoperdis): It was received, just has not been up for discussion yet. It would be introduced soon to the Chancellory.
Dyl-Bok (DylBokGrant)
Q: The forum was told some time ago that the contents of the suggestion box would added to the Newsletter, as well as the status. However,
such a thing has not come to pass. Status update desired.
A (AnnisXXII): Due tot he incident where a member did not wish their suggetion made public, the plan was placed on the backburner.
If the forum at large supports the publishing of suggestions, it would be again considered.
Q: Are the suggestions at least being read?
A (Leoperdis): Yes.
Arch (ArchelausDhaka)
Suggestion: Add a check box to the submission area for whether the suggestion can be made public or not.
