[03:04:33 pm] * Kamio has joined #gryffhousemeeting
[03:04:35 pm] [Rai] like a spork
[03:04:35 pm] [Paranoia] Super Painful Objects Resulting in Killing! \o/

[03:04:52 pm] [Rai] ! if you have a comment. ? if you have a question
[03:05:15 pm] [Rai] -! and -? to retract any of them
[03:05:36 pm] [Rai] And keep all hands and feet in the car at all times
[03:06:30 pm] [Rai] So, first order...
[03:06:30 pm] [Rai] as you may all know...
[03:06:31 pm] [Rai] ummm... we have a new banner
[03:06:32 pm] [Rai] Isn't it pretty? ^_^
[03:06:32 pm] [Rai] ...

[03:06:56 pm] [Wylie] If you have your eyes closed.
[03:06:56 pm] [Wylie] :)

[03:06:56 pm] [Ilona] *shuts eyes*
[03:06:56 pm] [Ilona] oh yeees.. much better

[03:07:04 pm] [Rai] Okay. So Fern's carrots infiltrated the CR and stuck something in there
[03:07:11 pm] [Rai] yes people, war's still going on
[03:07:22 pm] [Rai] stalwart ended, Fern won the end.
[03:07:47 pm] [Rai] She's working on an orange and cyan blue banner right now to replace that one though
[03:07:55 pm] [Rai] Or so my sources tell me
[03:07:59 pm] [Rai] so yes, that one is temporary.

[03:08:26 pm] * Katie|Reading is now known as MrPurple
[03:08:29 pm] [Rai] Any questions?
[03:09:33 pm] [Wylie] Cleary a sore topic of discussion everyone wants to avoid it
[03:09:44 pm] [Rai] And by the way, as told by Fern: "They don't like my banner. They can eat it and (there's a few things I can't repeat)"
[03:09:58 pm] [Rai] So... next Topic ^^
[03:10:08 pm] [Rai] HOL CONTEST ANNOUNCEMENTS

[03:10:27 pm] * Gwyd has joined #gryffhousemeeting
[03:10:37 pm] [JessicaS] OHEMGEE DO THE CONTESTS BECAUSE POINTS ROCK LIEK WHOA *hops back to hiding place*
[03:10:55 pm] [Wylie] So the only Hol Contest on at the moment is...
[03:11:08 pm] [Wylie] the Goblet of Fire Movie review
[03:11:18 pm] [Wylie] Very very easy way to earn points for the house

[03:11:20 pm] [Rai] Which ends on March 21st
[03:11:30 pm] [Rai] Because I don't want reviews on how you got the DVD :P

[03:11:34 pm] [Wylie] All you do is write at least 120 words either as a movie review or as an anecdote about seeing the movie remember this has to be in a story or an essay format for the full 10 points. Then send your submission to gobletoffire.hol@gmail.com. You should also send your Hol name, House and Hol-id; it makes it easier to submit points I guess You have until March 21st for this Contest.
[03:11:51 pm] [Wylie] nice and simple!
[03:12:31 pm] [Wylie] Right
[03:12:40 pm] [Wylie] other easy point opportunites come in the form of...
[03:12:50 pm] [Wylie] (1) Class work, yes it's obvious so the question you should ask is why aren't you doing it?
[03:13:12 pm] [Wylie] (2) Prose and Cons. The usual paw Print activity where any of you budding writers may have your work published, yes anyone. The theme for this month is quidditch and if you take a look at the link, you shall see how you can earn the points. You can actually earn 30 points from this. The deadline for this is March 23rd.
[03:13:31 pm] [Wylie] (3) Hol trading card, check out HOL forum for more info.
[03:13:53 pm] [Wylie] So plenty of opportunites and you may also find this useful.
[03:13:59 pm] [Wylie] http://www.gryff.net/cr/index.php?showtopic=235
[03:14:11 pm] [Wylie] A slightly dated piece of information from Missa but very appropriate
[03:14:23 pm] [Wylie] So Any questions of Point Opportunities in HOL?
[03:14:25 pm] [Wylie] Or Gryff?

[03:14:46 pm] [Rai] We like points. If you earn points, you'll earn our undying love
[03:14:53 pm] [Wylie] Also a little nudge for all House Champion Hopefuls, if you all do the selection challenges, the House will get 10 points - that is if you do both. So another way you select few can earn points
[03:14:56 pm] [BenQ] Or at least temporary affection

[03:15:05 pm] [Rai] and as Jess can tell you, our undying love is very very nummy ^^
[03:15:28 pm] [JessicaS] *nods* Very :D
[03:15:50 pm] [Rai] AND YOU ALL WANT US TO LOVE YOU RIGHT? XD

[03:16:04 pm] [Allison] !

[03:19:30 pm] [Paranoia] heads up!
[03:19:40 pm] [Anyet|PiN] eep! i'm being attacked
[03:19:41 pm] [Anyet|PiN] alright
[03:20:04 pm] [Anyet|PiN] so first of all, for anyone who has missed their owl post

[03:20:54 pm] [Anyet|PiN] and In first place... Safari Den!
[03:21:05 pm] [Anyet|PiN] congratulations to all the dens.

[03:21:16 pm] * Mollz has joined #gryffhousemeeting
[03:21:26 pm] [Anyet|PiN] and speaking of den challenges
[03:21:41 pm] [Anyet|PiN] the march challenge is already out and everyone should be working on it already
[03:21:53 pm] [Anyet|PiN] but in case you missed that memo here's the info you need to know:
[03:21:54 pm] [Anyet|PiN] In case you somehow missed it, for the last week the common room has been full of people firing destructive umm cannon balls of d00m at each other and trying desperately to keep imaginary ships afloat. It's been quite violent really. And to think you've seen none of it? tsk tsk.
[03:22:00 pm] [Anyet|PiN] Ok, so if you really have missed it so far, there's still plenty of time to get involved. But overall, the participation this month has been awesome (from most dens at least >>)... Hopefully you are all having fun with it and will continue to.
[03:22:09 pm] [Anyet|PiN] If you are still a bit lost, please read through the rules (http://www.gryff.net/cr/index.php?showtopic=5123) yes they are rather long and a bit complicated but they also give you lots of important details. If you still don't get it, just look around at what has been going on really. A team aims 3 shots, they gets 3 tasks, they complete the tasks for their shots to count. Yay!
[03:22:17 pm] [Anyet|PiN] Most action for this challenge takes place in it's own special forum (http://www.gryff.net/cr/index.php?showforum=116) and in your own den. There is also a question thread in the BotD forum if you are still a bit confused. And don't forget to check out the den grids (also in that forum) which are updated often!
[03:22:57 pm] [Anyet|PiN] any questions or comments about all that loverlyness?

[03:23:10 pm] [PandoraBlack] !
[03:23:15 pm] [Anyet|PiN] yes pandora?
[03:23:34 pm] [PandoraBlack] You guys are going to eat fish. Desert Kitten is going to win *nods*
[03:23:57 pm] [Anyet|PiN] anybody else?
[03:24:01 pm] [Allison] !
[03:24:06 pm] [Anyet|PiN] allison?
[03:24:35 pm] [Allison] Desert Kitten can keep dreaming, its all about mountain den. That is all i have to say.
[03:25:11 pm] [Anyet|PiN] alright. so before this becomes a game of we're gonna win so there... *checks the mic at BenQ* heads up
[03:25:23 pm] [Anyet|PiN] *chucks
[03:25:27 pm] [Anyet|PiN] yay for spelling!

[03:25:29 pm] * BenQ gets the mic chucked into his head
[03:25:37 pm] [BenQ] Thanks, Anyet
[03:25:45 pm] [BenQ] Okay, so I have news on several fronts

[03:25:49 pm] [Rai] btw Jess supports you Pan. But she's too lazy to say it :P
[03:26:04 pm] [BenQ] First, I'll begin with a short reminder of the Library Carnival competition
[03:26:17 pm] [BenQ] I'm sure that many of you would know this is running.
[03:26:24 pm] [BenQ] So why haven't you been getting your entries in?
[03:26:35 pm] [BenQ] The deadline is the 24th of March, which is less than TWO WEEKS away!

[03:27:48 pm] [AmandaH] http://www.gryff.net/cr/index.php?showtopic=5006 (You said the deadline there was Feb. 24th?)
[03:28:05 pm] [BenQ] Well, that would obviously be my mistake
[03:28:09 pm] [BenQ] I meant to say March 24th
[03:28:15 pm] [BenQ] *grins sheepishly*

[03:28:22 pm] [AmandaH] I thought so. Just in case anyone was confused lols
[03:28:30 pm] [Paranoia] Ben's a dork, but that's why we love him ^^

[03:28:55 pm] [BenQ] The Library Cauldron is up and brewing!
[03:29:11 pm] [BenQ] I know that many of you here have joined already, and you will all know how much fun we're having.
[03:29:26 pm] [BenQ] for those of you with different opinions, er... don't share them here ;)
[03:29:36 pm] [BenQ] You can feel free to join the Library Cauldron at any time

[03:29:48 pm] [BenQ] For more information
[03:29:55 pm] [BenQ] Any questions/comments about that stuff?
[03:30:39 pm] [BenQ] None? Moving on to the Drama Club, then.
[03:30:53 pm] [BenQ] Hopefully many of you got the chance to see one of our two productions that were shown recently.

[03:30:59 pm] [Anyet|PiN] Drama Club rocks! *runs away again*
[03:31:06 pm] [BenQ] Also, I can see that many of you in the room are fellow leaders/members of the DC
[03:31:15 pm] [BenQ] As Anyet has so clearly pointed out *grins*
[03:31:30 pm] [BenQ] I have posted logs of the two performances in the Cozy Corner, I believe
[03:31:48 pm] [BenQ] So, if you missed the performances (or would simply like a transcript) they're freely available
[03:32:03 pm] [BenQ] We will hopefully a have a brand new play for you next term (all things going well)

[03:32:05 pm] [Anyet|PiN] though we're always open to donations of manes *g*
[03:32:12 pm] [BenQ] *cough* yes, yes we are
[03:32:26 pm] [BenQ] And new members are always welcome, and you should contact a DC leader to express your interest

[03:32:27 pm] [Paranoia] I think I need more manes >>
[03:32:33 pm] [BenQ] That is Ilona/Wylie/Katie or myself
[03:32:43 pm] [BenQ] Any questions/comments before I go and collapse somewhere?

[03:32:58 pm] [MrPurple] *pats Ben*
[03:33:14 pm] * BenQ swings the mic around and throws it to...
[03:33:18 pm] [BenQ] Juli!
[03:33:37 pm] [Paranoia] \o\\o//o/ Quidditch announcements! \o\\o//o/
[03:33:46 pm] [Paranoia] Unfortunately, the Gryffindor versus Ravenclaw quidditch game was postponed for this month. And we were all really looking forward to those chicken fingers, weren't we? *g*
[03:33:53 pm] [Paranoia] But don't worry! The game has been rescheduled and will be played during April on a soon-to-be-announced date! (We'll make an announcement in the CR when we find out the new date)
[03:34:00 pm] [Paranoia] Make sure to show up and cheer on the GQT as they try for their fourth win of the year, an undeafeated season, and the ever important Quidditch Cup! AND THE CHICKEN FINGERS! \o/

[03:35:23 pm] * Paranoia tosses Jess the mic
[03:35:36 pm] [JessicaS] *drops mic* Oops...uh..it was Juli's fault :P
[03:35:39 pm] [JessicaS] As some of you may have noticed, the HOL page (Office, etc.) has been having a few problems lately. Try not to kill your computer over it. It?s only because HOL is having a server change.
[03:35:40 pm] [JessicaS] Also, don?t kill your profs if they don?t seem to be giving you your points. That is yet another result of the server change.
[03:35:40 pm] [JessicaS] So just keep earning points and then, suddenly, you will have millions (yes, MILLIONS :D) of points all at once. \o/
[03:36:01 pm] [JessicaS] Any questions? Comments?
[03:36:08 pm] [Anyet|PiN] !
[03:36:14 pm] [JessicaS] Anyet?

[03:36:23 pm] [JessicaS] *claps* :D

[03:36:27 pm] [Crys] ?
[03:36:34 pm] [JessicaS] Crys?
[03:36:52 pm] [Crys] Will you be set inactive if your points don't come in due to the change?
[03:37:14 pm] [Crys] And then be thrown from the CR?

[03:37:18 pm] [JessicaS] No, I don't believe so. Or else the entire HOL would be inactive...that wouldn't be good
[03:37:19 pm] [BenQ] no and no
[03:37:19 pm] [Wylie] Yes.

[03:37:21 pm] [Paranoia] yes, if you don't get awarded the points, you'll go inactice in 90 days
[03:37:26 pm] [BenQ] disregard Wylie
[03:37:28 pm] [Wylie] lol
[03:37:38 pm] [BenQ] :)
[03:37:42 pm] [Wylie] only disregard that last comment not all the time :)

[03:38:00 pm] [Rai] Points are good! They're like chocolate! Except it requires more work to get.
[03:38:11 pm] [Rai] But... STILL GOOD
[03:38:13 pm] [Paranoia] and not as yummy =/
[03:38:28 pm] [Paranoia] oh, don't try to eat your points. we need them to win the house cup ;)
