[13:08] [Akanishi] Alrighty then, we'll get started
[13:08] [Akanishi] oh
[13:08] [Akanishi] good call Kads <33
[13:08] * Akanishi is now known as Jenny
[13:08] [Jenny] \o/
[13:08] [Jenny] Now that you all know who I am, we'll get started XD XD
[13:08] [Jenny] Hoi Hoi~ Hi everyone and welcome to the April house meeting!! :D For those of you who celebrate the muggle holiday of Easter, enjoy all those chocolates and bunnies. *nods*
[13:08] [Jessica] Oh, I totally thought you were Jin :O
[13:08] [Jenny] I'm sure you're all really excited for this meeting, but before we can get started, there are a couple of rules you need to follow at all times. *nods*
[13:08] [Gwyddeh] Quick, what irc channel is this on?
[13:08] [Jenny] First rule! Unless you are an operator with the really cool squiggle next to your name, colors off! You can turn your colors off with the simple command "/remote off"...without the quotes, of course.
[13:08] [Jenny] So everyone with colors, please turn off your colors right...now. Dooo iiit!
[13:08] [Gwyddeh] I think that's my problem
[13:08] [Jenny] Okay, now that all of you are color-free, moving on to the second rule! This one is slightly more complicated so listen (or watch) carefully.
[13:09] [Jenny] When you have a comment, type "!". Wait for an operator/moderator/owner of a squiggle to call on you. (Make sure to be typing your comment while waiting to be called on though, as we don’t like to wait.) When you are called on, you may then comment.
[13:09] [Jenny] If at any time during the time you are waiting to be called on you decide that you no longer want to comment, please type "-!" and then no one will call on you.
[13:09] [Jenny] The same goes for questions but instead of using !/-!, you use ?/-?. Simple, ne?
[13:09] [Jenny] Third rule? Um...well there isn’t one. *adds only having two rules during house meetings to the already extremely long list of why Gryffindor pwns*
[13:09] [Jenny] Enjoy the meeting!
[13:09] [Gwyddeh] ?
[13:09] [Jenny] (Jin's my alter ego)
[13:09] [Jenny] Gwyd?
[13:10] [Gwyddeh] What's the channel name for this? I'm stuck on undernet or something and keep getting disconnected
[13:10] [Kadina] #gryffhousemeeting
[13:10] [Jenny] *nods*
[13:10] [Gwyddeh] No, the irc location.
[13:10] [Jenny] irc.blitzed.org
[13:11] [Jenny] ne?
[13:11] [Gwyddeh] Thx. Will try to fix. It's iRC for Macs
[13:11] * Jenny tosses some super sparkley beads to Kads
[13:12] * Kadina catches the beads and tansfigures them back into the mic =P
[13:12] [Kadina] ...transfigures. *sigh*
[13:12] [Jenny] *pats*
[13:12] [Kadina] okay then! Quidditch up now!
[13:12] [Kadina] The Gryffindor Quidditch Team had their last match of the season yesterday against Ravenclaw! Our
[13:12] [Kadina] lions fought bravely and managed to take a lead early in the game. However, it was not enough to win
[13:12] [Kadina] and in a nailbiting finish, Mark managed to catch the snitch mere seconds before Jenny, who was hit
[13:12] [Kadina] with a late-game bludger. The final score was 220-110 and Jenny snagged herself a joint MVP award
[13:12] [Kadina] with Mark! \o/ Thanks to all of you for a great season! We'll see you next year. =)
[13:12] [Kadina] As was also announced, our own Barbara Phoenix is leaving us as GQT cocaptain. Zenix James announced
[13:12] [Kadina] her replacement would be none other than... me! So as your new cocaptain of GQT, I'm ordering you all
[13:12] [Kadina] to bot this summer, join the summer quidditch league, and mostly importantly, tryout for GQT next Fall!
[13:12] [Kadina] More information about Fall recruiting will be posted... closer to the Fall. *gives everyone beads*
[13:12] [Kadina] Any questions? comments? beads?
[13:12] [Jenny] !
[13:13] [CastoraG] !
[13:13] [Kadina] Jenny?
[13:13] * Jenny hands Kads some more beads.
[13:13] [Jenny] That's all.
[13:13] [Kadina] XD
[13:13] [Kadina] Castora?
[13:13] [Jenny] *goes back to studying*
[13:13] [CastoraG] GQT Rawks the wizarding world!

[13:19] * Kadina tosses the mic at Castora
[13:20] [CastoraG] *castora catches it with her foot!
[13:20] [CastoraG] Ahem!
[13:20] [CastoraG] Points status check! Yes it seems we are still in 4th place, but not to worry we still have time to come from behind and catch those snakes and crows and what sits---errrm Platypus? Badgers? Anyway we can still catch them!
[13:20] [CastoraG] There are many point opportunities available around HOL. Like the awesome 30 points you can earn by participating by submitting prose and cons to the paw print! Woot! I expect everyone will jump right on that one!
[13:20] [CastoraG] Also keep finishing up homework, extra credit and even look at the other houses newspapers! Points ,points, points!!
[13:20] [CastoraG] Also keep finishing up homework, extra credit and even look at the other houses newspapers! Points ,points, points!!
[13:21] [CastoraG] sorry XD
[13:21] [CastoraG] Also available in the library is 30 points right now for writing a 300 word story. Well you can write more if you like, but if you are lazy like some (me) then what an awesome chance to earn some points for hardly doing anything! Find out more about it here: http://hol.org.uk/library.php?mode=view&code=52
[13:21] [CastoraG] Mainly, we need everyone to earn points like crazy, so we can claim a victory over those other houses and dance until the sun comes up!
[13:21] [CastoraG] So anyone have any questions, comments, random thoughts?
[13:21] [SamC] !
[13:21] [E_Ferret] !
[13:21] [CastoraG] Sam
[13:21] [SamC] I think we can win it!!!!!!!!!!
[13:21] [Eno] !
[13:22] [CastoraG] Yes, we just have to work harder!
[13:22] [CastoraG] Easter ferret
[13:22] [E_Ferret] Prof. Gwyd asked me to see if we can petition the HO so Profs. can earn points.
[13:22] [E_Ferret] She's really good at lots of stuff!
[13:22] [CastoraG] good idea, we'll see what we can do
[13:22] [CastoraG] Eno
[13:22] [Eno] no we cant win it XD
[13:23] [CastoraG] poo, that is so not true!
[13:23] [Jinxy] !
[13:23] [CastoraG] Jinxy
[13:23] [Jinxy] At least if we earn points we can be top 100 and show them how cool we are!
[13:23] [E_Ferret] WHOOPS! um !
[13:23] [CastoraG] thats right Jinxy! The harder each of us works, the better Gryffindor does!!
[13:24] [CastoraG] E_ferret

[13:25] [CastoraG] XD
[13:25] [E_Ferret] Yes, that's what was going to say cuz I don't know your nicks.
[13:26] [CastoraG] Well thank you Easter Ferret! You are a delight as usual.
[13:27] [E_Ferret] Please tell your dens that a new task won't be posted in them until they answer the task before it.
[13:28] [CastoraG] ok is that everything?
[13:29] [CastoraG] *levitates the mic to Kads
[13:29] [Kadina] woooohoo!
[13:29] [Kadina] On Ferret's note there, I'm going to speak for a second about den challenges. ^^
[13:29] [Kadina] The April Den Challenge has just begun! The Easter Ferret has begun to hide eggs around the common
[13:29] [Kadina] room, and even other parts of HOL! Part of this months challene involves collecting them and the den
[13:29] [Kadina] with the most overall eggs will earn extra points. Another part of the den challenge has been posted
[13:29] [Kadina] in each den's forum. Work an solve it to get on to the next task!
[13:29] * rowandream (cgiirc@ip-81-11-171-46.dsl.scarlet.be) has joined #gryffhousemeeting
[13:29] [Kadina] We love den challenges so much, that we're going to psych you out for next month! As second year and up
[13:29] [Kadina] students may already be familiar with, our favorite den challenge involves playing a game of battleship
[13:29] [Kadina] against the other dens! Get ready, because it's going to be a hoot. \o/
[13:29] [Kadina] Any questions?
[13:29] [rowandream] haya sorry am late

[13:30] [Kadina] Ferr?
[13:30] [Eno] ?
[13:30] [E_Ferret] I'd like to point out that I'm hiding Shiny Objects. I kept eating the eggs.
[13:30] [Kadina] (I know. we're collecting shiny things. not eggs.)
[13:30] [Kadina] -giggles- Yeah
[13:30] [Kadina] I just noticed that. Sorry ^^
[13:30] [Kadina] Eno?
[13:30] [Eno] does the HELF section count?
[13:31] [Kadina] Shiny objects are being hidden all over, Eno! I couldn't possibly know all the locations
[13:31] [Kadina] if there is a shiny object hidden there, then it will count ^^
[13:31] [Eno] ok

[13:33] [Kadina] If there's nothing else, Have a fabulous Easter today and enjoy shiny object #100!
[13:34] [E_Ferret] Just want to remind everyone that the den with the most NEW participants will receive a trophy that will appear in your profiles
