Announcements:

Explaination of meeting structure

There will be a Town Hall style meeting every three (3) weeks. These will operate also as a part of the weekly Officer meetings and will alternate as such, ie rotating Sat/Sun. We reserve the right to use vent for this event, so please plan your raid/group accordingly. The structure of the Town Hall will be in three (3) parts: Announcements, Submitted Questions, and Open Questions. In order to maintain a condusive and orderly meeting, all members will be silenced, save Officers and Moderator, until the time comes for your particular question. At that point, the floor is yours.

COOP Anniversary

April 3rd. Stay tuned for anouncements here and on the community forums.

COOP Pi New Leadership

Congrats to Alachaas, new leader of COOP Pi.

Nerdtacular

We want a large turnout of AIE folks. Please bring your cameras, looking for a photo-op of massive proportions. Again, see the EL forums for additional info.

Blizzcon

Speaking of large turnout, this year mark Oct. 23-24 on your calander. Expect a new banner, again provided by Lanc, a picnic, and lots of fellow Blizz freaks hanging out and having fun. If you are considering going, and able, plan on trying to be online to purchase multiple tickets. Your guildies that may be unable to procure tickets will love you for it. If it is anything like the past 2 years, tickets will be hard to get. Rumor is 125.00, or maybe less. For the all encompasing post on what to expect at Blizzcon, see the aie general communication forum post "So you want to go to Blizzcon?"

Postcards from the Old World

The new podcast brought to you by AIE Guildies Gufoni and Arezzo. This will be a trek across the old world with 2 brand new toons, before the impending Cataclysm hits. Join them and interact with them via the forums to determine where they head next. Suggestions are always welcome at postcardspodcast@gmail.com as well as the general communication forums.

Regional AIE Meet-ups

We want to encourage AIE meet-ups in all regions. We also want to express that, while there are no restrictions we are imposing on these gatherings, please be aware of your demographic. Obviously we have a large, diverse community and want to make sure that both common sense is used and local laws are not violated when interacting with your fellow guildies. But aside from that, have fun and take lots of pictures. If you are unable to head to Blizzcon or Nerdtacular, a regional AIE meet-up might be a bit easier to swing.

Submitted Questions

Sophilia- Explaination of unspoken gchat policies

There really is no unspoken gchat policy. No Macros, No Spam, No Politics, No Drugs, No Name Redacted, No Issues. We don't want to see the endless Mac v PC debate, or other things along that line. Just because you don't SEE someone being disciplined, don't think it is not happening behind the scenes. On the same line, let the Officers do thier jobs. Do not take it upon yourself to self police, take screen shots and send an email to Officers@aie-guild.org if there is an issue, and we will address it.

Arthasia- Minutes from last Town Hall meeting

Molly will post soon.

Coill- Guild outreach to the realm or improving perception of the guild.

Feel free to RP with other people/toons on Earthen Ring. Group with unguilded toons and promote guild culture. Ignore trade chat.

Sophilia- Guild Welcoming Commitee

We don't want to assign a group of people strictly for this purpose, and there are 2 reasons. It adds responsibility to a group of people and it takes away responsibilty from others. As a guild, we all are responsible for welcoming a new member, whether that is saying welcome in gchat upon invitation, or answering questions that some would consider noobish. We all were new invites at one point, and it is everyone's responsibilty to make someone feel at home. You ultimately get out of this guild what you put into it, a wise man once said.

Open Questions

Mentus- How to find an Officer

aielfo channel in game, vent channel The Boiler Room in ventrillo. Don't be afraid to come in the vent channel to ask questions, it is there for that purpose. The only restricted Officer channel is The Officer's Chambers and typically someone has to drag you down into it.

Scoppe- How to deal with cross faction, non-english speaking pugs.

Unfortunately, can only drop group or submit a ticket to a GM if you have issues. Make sure you take screen shots of the incident in question. Remember the guild tag you wear, and try to keep that in mind when wanting to do something "drastic.

Toshiko- Craft Faire

If you are interested, get a hold of Toshiko in game, or on the forums. Also, the Professions forums are the place to look for further information. These always have awesome turn-outs. Let's get this one rolling!

Abovan-New Guild Apparel

Maui is looking to have new items up by the end of April. Ideas were Embroidered Polo Shirts, Horde AIE cuff links, Battle Thongs.
