[Durendal] shouts: Given that vicinity chat is somewhat limited, we'll have to do this in a shouty fashion.
Hit-Parade waves at Vloryn.
[Durendal] shouts: If you're unfamiliar with vicinity chatting, you just type "/shout Templars are awesome" or similar biased messages.
Ishco is now online.
[ShockG] shouts: Red is for commies.
Mellified is now online.
Yuriksha is now online.
[Durendal] shouts: Ok, then let's get started!
[Durendal] shouts: Welcome to the first official cabal meeting in Secret World LEGENDS!
Aberlour cheers.
Bladevenom waves.
Katelin applause
[Pilgrim7]: ...
Hit-Parade claps excitedly for Vloryn.
[Durendal] shouts: I have to say, I'm amazed how quickly we have found ourselves in this new, old game.
Hit-Parade claps excitedly for you.
Vloryn spits.
Dawnfire cheers.
[Durendal] shouts: Quite a few of us have spent the last five years playing The Secret World together.
[Durendal] shouts: Now here we are, in a slightly different but still very familiar environment, hoping that we can get the enjoyment out of Secret World Legends to make it ten or even more.
[Durendal] shouts: While we were rarely ever the first, the greatest or the best of anything, we most certainly had fun.
[Durendal] shouts: Now that we've had a bit over a week to get acquainted to the new game, we're going to take the time to talk about where we stand now, and where we see ourselves in the future.
[Durendal] shouts: As for the main content of this meeting, I would quite like to make it as interactive as this amount of people allows it to be.
[Durendal] shouts: It would be great if we could get a few statements from members, each accompanied with a brief (five minutes time box?) discussion of how we can see the cabal supporting these ideas.
[Durendal] shouts: To give you an example... Starting with myself:
[Durendal] shouts: Right now, I'm quite happy that we have managed to successfully move from TSW to SWL.
[Durendal] shouts: While we're still rebuilding the roster, it's good to see so many previous, and even the first new members joining us without all of our tools and processes breaking.
[Durendal] shouts: I'm personally still quite busy redesigning and developing some of the changes.
Vloryn claps.
[Durendal] shouts: Overall, I would like to have a very active group of leaders and many division members that help this along.
[Durendal] shouts: So, in theory it's now quite easy. We get to talk for the next five minutes about how you all help me with my work, and which divisions you would like to join!
[Katelin] shouts: Raise hand!
[Katelin] shouts: To support you all in making decisions about joining divisions, and knowing where you can help out. Our Academy is working on a welcome to Nine Sword workshop which I hope will be ready in the near future. We also will have the first SW:L Sharpening the Blades session at the end of July
[Katelin] shouts: After being in the cabal a little while, and getting used to the newer game too for our older TSW members - it will hopefully become clearer with those couple of weeks as to where you can help. Our leadership team want to support that all we can!! /done.
[LeMortieth]: (raise hand)
[Durendal] shouts: Thank you.
[Durendal] shouts: Yes LeMort!
[LeMortieth]: shouts: I've joined Rapier and I think that's where I can do best. I aim to be as helpful as I can towards others.
Vloryn applauds.
[LeMortieth]: Shouts: That's why I rush a bit towards endgaame
Hit-Parade applauds and whistles
[LeMortieth]: shouts: I don't want to lag behind this time
[LeMortieth]: shouts: and I raised my hand to show it's not dangerous. Done
[Durendal] shouts: Thank you. And I bet you have all overtaken me by now.
[Aberlour]: Not me. Haha. Moving very slow. Though should get more time this week.
Aberlour raises his hand.
[Durendal] shouts: Go ahead abe!
[Aberlour]: This damn chat system. I always end up spinning in a circle trying to click the chat window. haha.
Vloryn laughs.
[Aberlour] shouts: Well, I'm obviously well-settled into my division.
[Durendal] shouts: Totally, and now we need it the most.
[Aberlour] shouts: But just wanted to say I am available to help with any of the changes you still need to make. I know the recruitment proccess is still a work in progress.
[Kola]: Hand Up
[Aberlour] shouts: I would also encourage anyone who wants to, to contact me or Helexia (sp?) about becoming a recruiter. We can use all the help we can get.
[Aberlour] shouts: And it's not a difficult job. And I promise we don't bite.
[Ishco]: Helixia
Brynnhild now[Ravynos]: Will you bite if I ask nicely?
[*Malegemma]: (raise hand)
Vloryn giggles.
[Aberlour]: No. Haha.
[Mellified]: oh go on Abe
[Ravynos]: worth a try.
[Hit-Parade]: *raises hand*
Dez is now online.
[Aberlour] shouts: Also, done. Sorry.
[Durendal] shouts: Kola?
[Kola]: sorry but being new to SW and this Cabal what do you mean by divisions
[Katelin] shouts: we have 9 divisions in Nine Swords, each one works to do a different task
[Katelin] shouts: you can read about them here: https://www.nine-swords.com/directives/ ... n-overview
[Durendal] shouts: Next raised hand was by Malegemma
[Kola]: ok will read up on it, sorry
[Aberlour]: No need to apologize.
[BrokenPieces]: rises hand
[*Malegemma]: Can we contact any one in the mentioned roster regarding which divisions we want to join?
[*Malegemma]: <-- new recruit
[Katelin] shouts: For sure!! Any of our leaders will definitely be able to help you out
[Katelin] shouts: Which division interests you?
[*Malegemma]: excellent... RP and Raiding most definately
Vloryn applauds.
[Katelin] shouts: You can only join 1 division - but RP is Floryn or Hit-Parade, PvE is Kisshoten.
Hinoki is now online.
[*Relana42]: *raises hand*
[*Malegemma]: ah... se we can't raid and rp ?
[Hit-Parade] shouts: One thing to note is that membership in one division doesn't stop you from participating in the rest~!
[Durendal] shouts: It will be a while before we can get back into raiding though, given we're just at elite dungeons right now.
[Ravynos]: You totally can
[*Vloryn] shouts: Or Yuri for RP.
[*Malegemma]: awesome
[*Malegemma]: done thanks
[BrokenPieces]: Thank you. I would like to stay with Zweihander and help organising things. If there are any other tasks in other divisions that you need help, I would gladly help in other areas as well.
[ShockG] shouts: Division membership does not restrict your activities, it just indicates your "focus," if you will.
[Katelin] shouts: Thank you, BP! We definitely need lots of help.
Madrain is now online.
[Aberlour] shouts: Also, you can find the Division leaders on the roster page of our website. Just select the Nine Swords Leadership Team from teh dropdown.
[BrokenPieces]: Ok, sign me on
Thanks.[Durendal] shouts: Great! Hit-Parade also had his hand raised a while ago.
[Durendal] shouts: Given how HP vanished from Vicinity, let's move on to Relana42.
[Yuriksha]: ((Hmm, his client probably crashed at the crucial moment.))
[*Relana42]: Just a sec, technical diffficulties
[*Goge]: the mission the haunting seems to be bugged
[*Relana42]: \shout Ok, I'm still working on the recruitment vid, I'm completely redoing it
[Katelin] shouts: Yay! great news, Relana!
[*Relana42] shouts: I'll be scheduling some events over the next few weeks to get new footage in Legends
Katelin claps for Katelin.
[Ishco]: I spy, with my little eyes, HP! :p He's back!
Yuriksha claps for Relana42.
[*Relana42] shouts: once I get levelled up, lol
[Hit-Parade]: Thank you, thjank you, no autographs please
[Ravynos]: lol
Yuriksha claps for Hit-Parade.
[LeMortieth]: {Applause}
[Durendal] shouts: Let's move the discussion towards HP then. Good luck not crashing this time!
[*Relana42] shouts: and if anyone has any awesoome game footage they'd like to donate to the cause, please let me know
[Hit-Parade] shouts: Hopefully not.
[*Relana42]: that's all
[*Sorque]: *raises hand*
[Hit-Parade] shouts: Rapier Division is 9S's home for people interested in roleplay, and it's our goal to be more active than we were in TSW
Malegemma cheers.
[Hit-Parade] shouts: If you take a look on the forums, you'll find threads for posting character profiles and storyline ideas, and even just looking for RP contacts and partners.
[Hit-Parade] shouts: If you're interested in Rapier, or participating in RP both in-cabal and outside, contact me, VLoryn, or Yuri. Through PMs on the forum is fine; I'm also active on Twitter and Discord. Anyone who wants contact data for those methods can PM me
[Hit-Parade] shouts: To everyone, roleplayer or not, who's new to 9S, welcome aboard. This is perhaps the most relaxed and friendly cabal I've ever encountered.
[Hit-Parade] shouts: Thank you!
Vloryn cheers.
[Durendal] shouts: That was an excellent short story about the RP division. It was almost like it deserves its own part in the meeting.
[Durendal] shouts: I believe Sorque also raised the hand?
[*Sorque]: Yeah, I just wanted to say hello, fresh blood/TSW veteran here. I've joined the Rapier division since I think that's where I can be of most use and now I'm trying to pour as many hours as possible into the game to get to endgame. And if anyone needs my help with anything else, just ask.
[Hit-Parade]: Thanks, Dur, very kind
Vloryn claps.
AnnieD is now online.
[Katelin] shouts: Thank you, Sorque! I think thats an important point - helping each other along. That is what it has always been about for Nine Swords - would be great to see that momentum continuing here in SW:L
[Durendal] shouts: Assuming you're done Sorque, Mell is next.
[LeMortieth]: (applause)
[Katelin] shouts: We should definitely use our Guides forum area for that: https://www.nine-swords.com/forums/43
[Durendal] shouts: Also, please don't forget to shout. I only saw Mell's chat on Kate's screen, not on mine.
[Mellified] shouts: is this how to shout?
[Katelin] shouts: YES!
[Mellified] shouts: ah yes!
Malegemma has been promoted to rank Division Member.
[Durendal] shouts: Totally, just raise YOUR VOICE!!!1!
Dawnfire has logged off.
[Mellified] shouts: that's all really
Ishco has logged off.
[Durendal] shouts: So, I hoep I didn't forget any raised hands? This went a bit longer than I had expected, but I love the discussion topics that came up.
[Ravynos]: *Raises Hand*
[Durendal] shouts: Yes Ravynos?
[Ravynos] shouts: just wanted to say its good to be back after my school hiatus and If I'm on I am always down to help out so buzz me
[Ravynos]: all done
[Ravynos] shouts: all done
[Durendal] shouts: Thank you.
[Kola] shouts: someone yesterday wanted the 3 dot hammer I have been lugging around, and then of course got booted if they are here,,please take it lol
[Durendal] shouts: Would anyone like to set another topic for discussion?
[Ravynos] shouts: where are we at with alts and other factions?
[Katelin] shouts: 9S is a Multifaction Cabal
[Ravynos] shouts: good times.
[Katelin] shouts: if you want your alt adding, you need to post in our re-recruitment forum for now - thats likely easiest. We need a post with the character name. No post and I will get grumpy!!
[Ravynos]: gotcha. Not really there yet but I'd like to RP at somepoint but would be more comfortable with a character that matches myactual; gender
[Hit-Parade] shouts: At some point I'd like to discuss how to, RP-wise, handle 9S's new multifaction status, but that's not urgent
[Durendal] shouts: Also, while we have made the decision to recruit across factions, we're still working on the storyline changes for the 9S RP background story. If you've got input for that, feel free to take it to our forums or talk with the RP leaders here.

[*Goge]: okidoki
[Ravynos]: cool
Cauna has been promoted to rank Division Member.
[Hit-Parade]: There we go
Cauna has been promoted to rank Recruiter.
Tazetta is now online.
[Durendal] shouts: Any other topics you'd like to raise?
[ShockG] shouts: Maybe a role check?
[ShockG] shouts: In a forum topic, that is.
[Katelin] shouts: What do you mean, Shock?
Cauna has been demoted to rank Division Member.
[ShockG] shouts: Who is building toward what.
[Katelin] shouts: Ah good idea!
[Katelin] shouts: Can you start a discussion on it, Shock?
[ShockG] shouts: Will do.
[Katelin] shouts: thanks!
[Yuriksha] shouts: Primarily DPS but also getting heal gear and abilities
[ShockG] shouts: Done.
[Durendal] shouts: There might be the option of incorporating this in the cabal roster profile at a later point.
[Hit-Parade] shouts: Pretty much the same as Yuri
[ShockG] shouts: That would be easier than OOC character sheets.
[Katelin] shouts: To move on then - I would like to give you all a general overview as to what Durendal and I are working on
[Katelin] shouts: The website is doing ok - we are actually getting to grips with Joomla, the bridge to phpBB and getting peoples user rights sorted.
[Katelin] shouts: We do need your help though if you cannot access things - if you arent sure if you should have access to something ASK!! It is so easy for us to miss someones user rights with so many people being re-recruited at once
[Katelin] shouts: As our divisions start to grow again, and people take on tasks .. Durendal and I will begin to focus on the "specialist" areas again - right now, our main focus is the recruitment process
[Katelin] shouts: There is so so much we have plans for and want to achieve - and only so many hours in the day, if anyone does want to help with ANYTHING!! Just let us know
we want you to help us![Katelin] shouts: Today we managed to get the back catalogue of The Sword's Edge copied over - may seem a small thing.. but preserving our history was so important to us both
[Katelin] shouts: Next steps will be to go through our directives again, and also to finalise the new recruitment procedure
Yuriksha applauds Katelin.
Hit-Parade cheers for Katelin.
[Katelin] shouts: Those new to the cabal will know that they were recruited immediately after interview.. we are happy with how this is going so far, and welcome feedback from our new recruits!
[Katelin] shouts: Feels like baby steps this week - but I cannot be happier to see so many of us together again
[Katelin] shouts: thank you.
Vloryn cheers.
Hit-Parade claps for Enruned Mayan Hatchling.
[Katelin] shouts: VERY Important!!
Hit-Parade claps for Katelin.
[Durendal] shouts: So, as I hinted at earlier, we have one final, very important point on the agenda. A SCREENSHOT!
[Mellified] shouts: Picture under the Big D?
LeMortieth cheers.
[Durendal] shouts: Please all join me over here between the statues
[*Goge] shouts: is it me or do some of the draug look like Squidward???
[Durendal] shouts: Please deactivate the Wisp, it's in the way
