Just a point in time ....

So two days ago - 7/1/10 - was The Great Ant'knee explosion.

SP up for a vote

So the voting has started, and so far no one has voted "No" (altho one abstained !?!).

It's all rather anticlimactic. I wonder how much of the non-impact is due to J's involvement.

Excelsior!

SP now in discussion

So J has released the Study Program into the wild for consideration by the Council of Lore. Very different from others, but Kirk just posted that "he approves of this message" so I just keep thinking of "Alien" and "... game over dude! Game over!..."

J did a great job and I'm very proud of him putting into words what was only a dream of mine. (And hopefully his as well.)

Into the breach...

So Jeremy has posted the New Study Program and I couldn't be more pleased. He's been convinced that Simplicity Has Power and I'm even begun convincing myself that We Need Ranks. Hehehe.

We'll see how it Plays In Peoria (i.e. the Council of Lore) but I'm happy to have him on my side on this one.

Crikey - they've put up a ballot and I'm running unopposed. Grrr. Guess I need to do some real work now.

Bother.

So is this Yet Another Go?

J. is posting a "let's get this party started" post to the Guild List. Poor dear was worried I'd be put out but I reassured that he's in the Inner Circle (people I dearly love/respect/honor) he'd never be able to do such a thing. Esp. as he's being mature to my pouty kid routine.

So I guess this means I need to catch up on my list reading and have another go.

I also shared status comments with another Guild leader who I respect as well, and suggested we need to get likkered up and have a chat. I think it'd be a good dose of reality for me.

My biggest issue is trying to separate out my vision/wishes from what is possible plus what others have as their vision. Unfortunately, I'm not having good luck convincing people of my vision. Much simpler in my work where I can just code and go - this whole "reality" thing is way overrated in some ways. Guess I just need to work out some Middle Way somehow to at least get some good out of the revival of the Guild - doesn't look like my wish to just let it die is gonna fly.

Sad that.

Ok let's give this another go ...

So again I send Selene an email (after asking her at S'land how's the best way to get in touch with her) asking about my errant officers, and I get a response back from her ISP saying that delivery is going to be held up because of DNS issues.

Sheesh - this whole enterprise seems cursed.

Raven got his consecration, so bringing up the whole "how do you like my little revolution?" talk seemed a bit ... selfish. Maybe I can grab him on the phone at some point and walk thru it.

I've also offered the Preceptor position to Brandon, but I'll need confirmation from Selene before I do that (well, I don't, not really, but it'd be best.) Turns our my WOG pal Jeremy would be happy to have it back (!) but that smacks of too much nepotism in my book.

Guess we'll just have to see.

Elections are coming up soonly, so I need to get all this in order by 9/15 or thereabouts. Jenni actually had a PP made up for last times timeline (!). That's our Jenni!
