Domain Meeting Minutes – 12/6/08

 

Coordinator Side

 

1)      Announcement of SCaRE 2009 in New Orleans, April 16th-19th

2)      Quick headcount of who was wanting to/ intending to go to Baton Rouge Featured Game in January

3)      Suggestion from Jess to hold off on big party/social till January-ish due to scheduling and the hectic Holidays

4)      Charity Recap – all the same & will reset to new ones in January

 

Storyteller Side

 

1)      Zero Tolerance Policy announced by DST regarding Arguing with Rules Calls at Games: If your character is not in a Life Threatening situation or otherwise
severe circumstances that could significantly (especially negatively) impact your character (i.e. Blood Bond, Death, Torpor) – let the call roll for the sake of
game play and flow of game.

a.       Those that interrupt game to argue a rule point that does not fit within the above-mentioned exceptional criteria will be awarded negative experience
points, as this is considered a Moderate Offense (on the first infraction) as per the Member Handbook  (p. 74 on the book copy sent in member packets)
" Arguing with an officer during an event, such as a storyteller during game."

                                                              i.      Just so that Everyone is on the same page – this was not discussed in meeting beyond the "negative experience points" however the following are
the choices at "Moderate Level" for DA's on the Storyteller side Directly from the Membership Handbook:  (1) No experience awarded for 1 month
(2) up to 6 negative experience points (3) Removal of a character from play for up to a month.

2)      To go with the Rules Call Announcement – Dale reminded that our MST had made an announcement recently that the Books, Addendum, MST Rules Calls,
and AMST Rules Calls that are specifically announced as such will be accepted as "official rules" in the Sanctioned Camarilla Chronicle… old FAQ and Rules lists
are not considered such any longer. If you have any questions – feel free to inquire with your ST Staff

3)      Leo (Matt), our new ADST Cartographer discussed his compilation efforts of locations that characters own, and how to represent them on sheets, and things of
that nature.

a.       If anyone has locations, especially, that have security measures that deal damage to trespassers, you need to get a hold of Leo.

b.      Anyone with Resources over 3, Retainers, Allies, Contacts, Fame,  etc. that would impact things Socially.. needs to contact Leo.

4)      VST Announcements – Rachel on Rules – Stressed that we're here for the story – to play or to tell the story – not to nitpick. Let's all remember to have fun! She
also recapped the rules call announcement from Thomas, as we were getting members filtering in at various times during the meeting.

5)      Thomas made a clarification on challenges – reminder that when running challenges, the defender's successes are subtracted from the successes of the character
taking the action – however many successes are leftover are the "number of successes" for the action's results.

6)      Reminder that we will be having guests at next Requiem (12/20) at the Library. We will have potentially 10 or more out-of-towners.

7)      Cat tossed out an idea for yahoo groups or something of that nature for local covenant groups that would otherwise be interacting "behind the scenes" between
actual game sessions – to give that option to players so that some things can be handled in between games if needed – and thus won't take out actual game-time.
(or won't be spoiled by plot cookie taking up lots of game night when there is an important meeting scheduled or something of that nature).

8)      There was a rundown of Domain IC news & Then Game Commenced.

 

 

         Reminder to turn in Prestige information to DC & ADC: Prestige & There were some requests for log reviews. ADC: Prestige advised

         there is a queue currently and will work in order requests received or as information to process is available. Full audits of those that

         earned prestige prior to 2002 could be waiting due to lack of records available from that timeframe.

 

         Natchitoches (Southern Gothic) Update: In Process of being built.

 

        For DC official e-mails: Must be sent to bloodfirefideilty.dc@gmail.com - anything sent to non-official address will not be considered unless

         there is a note that there are problems sending to the DC address. ( Alt. E-mail address is: dc@bloodfireandfiedlity.net )

 

         Announcement that the Officer's e-mail list is available to everyone for questions & concerns.

 

         Email Address is: BF_F_Officers@yahoogroups.com
