Monthly Meeting of the Council of Templars' Minutes

Meeting of the Council of Templars Meeting
July 14, 2017
On Teamspeak

The meeting was called to order at 2PM EDT by Xerxes.

Xerxes reported for Stronghold Director Fennik that the Stronghold development is going ahead as planned. In order to reach our goal of having a rank 16 goal by the end of the year, we will not upgrade the barracks further but instead build an animal pen and upgrade it to rank 7.

We will complete our contract with Tornado of Souls for an exchange of Influence for strongboxes of power within two weeks.

John reported that recruiting has been excellent with GT having 148 members. Xerxes will clean out the roster soon to make room for more transfers from ST.

Xerxes noted that Mrs. Toons was not able to attend for personal reasons.  He reported that Fennik has been selling off bank items to raise AD for the stronghold progression.  He further noted the gracious donations by guildies to the guild bank, coffer and for TeamSpeak.

Xerxes reported that Thyra was unable to attend for family reasons. The guildmasters have decided to suspend the Crafting program for six months or until Thyra is able to begin her work once again.  All the items in the ST and GT banks will be sold on the AH; the AD being used for VIP, strongbox keys and strongboxes of power.

Xerxes reported that the Alliance is sponsoring seminars twice per month.  The Tanking seminar was a great success. The seminar schedule thus far is: August: Healing; September: Stronghold Progression; October: Hunter Ranger.  He noted that the Alliance is now complete with the addition of 3 new guilds to the Alliance. Ghost Templars is committed to developing strong ties between member guilds.

Haelirin, an ST Guildmaster, was asked to report on Spirit Templars.  He noted that the morale is good. He encouraged better communication between GT and ST and suggested the GTST game chat channel be promoted further.  Therefore, in the upcoming weeks, a member who signs up for the channel will receive a rank 7 enchantment.  Haelirin noted that he'd like to have ST sponsor a dragonflight during the open 11:30AM EDT time slot occasionally.

John suggested that ST members be taken on Experience Bear Runs in the stronghold.  He will make a video on how to run such an encounter.  Perseus volunteered to run some of these events.

The meeting ended at 3PM EDT.

Respectfully,
Xerxes
