January 10, 2005
Passed
*None
Failed
*RP Proposal: to give Nation Leaders different coloured flags as well as who
nation leader command, this proposal was failed because there is a list of
nations and leaders as well as their RP names and hometowns in the command
'nations'. As for adding colour, people thought this was not needed.
January 17, 2005
Passed
**config +gag proposal - config +gag to include your groups misses.
Failed
**dodge/parry- This proposal is to change the max percentage of
dodge/parry/tumble/ect to lower values if in aggressive or berserk, and
possibly higher values (or maybe just not at all) for defensive and evasive.
It was felt that the dif styles cover this issue well enough, it would not
change gameplay for the better.

*Proposal to Simplify Layout of Library of Prophets - Remove shifting exits

January 31, 2005
Passed
*House proposal- give houses buyable blood fountains,ie the same as buyable
springs which can be bought already.
Failed
*"faithful" devotion - a reward for those who stay with the same deity for
a certain amount of time (which can be agreed upon later) it was felt this would
only lead to paying chars to idle.
Denied by VC
*Config +gag proposal - In code, others' gag messages are to the room, not to
specific players. In gaming, misses are a critical part of learning about a mob
in battle.
Passed to CoE
*Simplify Layout of Library of Prophets
Should you have any questions, please contact a TS rep.

Passed
*Practice all-instead of typing prac each skill/spell individually, it just
practices everything. In the event that you don't have enough practices, for all
the new skills/spells you get, the prac all command can just return an echo
saying something to the effect of "You don't have enough practices for all your
skills/spells, practice them individually".
Failed- None

February 14, 2005
Passed
**a tribute to those that have played here and passed away. It could be a room
with a sign/statues or a simple sign placed somewhere in DarkHaven. Just
something in remembrance of our friends who are no longer with us.
**to add a bank to each hometown and order.
Failed
**None
Passed to CoE
**Blood fountains for houses
Denied by VC
**Practice all. Doesn't distinguish what skills to do and not to do up until
level 5-6 when you have more practices than you know what to do with. It's also
a lot of effort to save experienced people a few seconds per level. Will cause
other complications for other players.
If you have any questions or concerns, please consult a member of TS.

Failed
*The idea of using extra practices to increase spell/skill adeptness by a %,
from 5-10% failed because it was felt that it would be way too powerful and too
easy to increase skills or spells.
*The idea of being able to copy journals from one to another. This failed since
most people didn't really use journals all that often and therefore didn't see a
need for it. This came from various guild and order members. It was felt that
with limited coders/time etc, that this idea could perhaps be brought up again
in the future when/if people had an increased interest in journals.
Denied by VC
*Tribute to our Fallen. When a person passes, their closest friends or their
organisation always seem to create a tribute to them in some way. A room with
signs/statues naming every player who has died will become little more than a
name on a wall and not the sensitive tribute needed by those left behind. This
is something that, however well-intentioned, could never be done well on such a
scale. Loril's note: Please also be sensitive to your immortals who would be in
the position of having to determine the validity of a request.
*Banks in orgs. Branch banking is not medieval. Reaching Darkhaven is easy. To
be fair, we would need one in every clan, order, guild and hometown out there.
Any questions or concerns should be directed to a TS rep or TS immortal.
Thanks,
Cappadocius

Passed
**makeleader command- instead of having to re-follow, have the current leader do
a "makeleader <person>" when you're in a group and the leader needs to be
changed, or someone else made leader of the group.
**Journal Customization (rewrite) - have a mob that can add your name to the
journal for a fee.
Failed
**using earned glory to change race & using earned glory to add an echo to eq or
weapons. It was felt that this proposal should have been 2 not the one and that
it would possibly lead to abuse, ie changing race for certain weapons etc.
Passed by CoE
**Hints for non-experienced players
**Simplify Library of Prophets
Denied by CoE
**Purchasable blood fountains. We got no explanation from CoE on this one. If
Loril's take helps in any way, I'd guess blood fountains would be tantamount to
free mana. There is no ability for mana users to make a one-time purchase of
forever-free blues. Vampires can, however, purchase the ability to -not- suffer
daytime blood loss.
Any questions or concerns should be directed to a TS member or TS immortal.

Passed
*None
Failed
*An idea to add an extension to the 'examine' command to handle specific items.
Eg: 'examine birch violet' for a quick check of critical consumables failed. It
was felt that people could use multiple containers to keep more organized and
was not needed at this time.
Passed VC
Makeleader command

*Removing the half troll race from augurers.
Passed
*None
March 21, 2005
Failed
*new barbarian skill proposal- it was felt that this was not needed as a mob
does this already
Passed
*Proposal: Antall/McManus - Lesson Antall, McManus and trans times by adding an
object (ie rigging or a gangplank) that would allow runners to get back onto the
ship after the first kill bypassing 7 room trans.
In other TS news, I have assumed the position of Head of TS.
I feel very humbled by having to fill Selina's shoes,
but I am very excited about the challenges to come.
Please feel free to contact me with any TS related issues.
My door is always open.

April 4, 2005
*Proposed a new format for meetings called a colloquium where the individual who
proposes the idea would be invited to speak to the group and field questions.
This would remove opinion-based discussion and focus on understanding the issue
at hand. This idea is to be posted on the forums for feedback and comments.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact a TS member or a TS
immortal.
Thanks,
Cappadocius
Denied by VC
*Antall, McManus and trans times. - The piece of the area in question is clearly
behaving as the builder originally intended. Desirable equipment is
traditionally placed after some set of obstacles and so is the case here.
Please see a TS rep should you have any questions or comments.

April 11, 2005
Passed
**Victory/Defeat proposal- Peaceful org victory and defeat lists
**Increase buffer lines - ie in oemote etc
Failed
**Make pets pacifists/create a death echo - it was felt making pets passive
would lead to abuse and may cause issues with those players who can pk on
mounts.
**Personalised Guild/Order Containers - it was felt that guilds/orders would be
used/abused by those using their donnation rooms as storage.
****BTW some of us have changed times so make sure you are here next week on
time and have a great week!

The following poeple are to present proposals April 25, 2005
**Possible solution to lost pwords - Theodore
**Increase level of 'chardelete' command - Myceran
**Lowering Mana Cost 4 brewing - Ordem
No passes/fails this week.
***Please let us know and have someone ready to present if
you cannot attend.
Some need to be checking Forums, with the new format it is imperative that you
log and work on the items posted there.
-Mari
Denied by VC
**Victory/defeats for guilds/orders - this is really a deadly thing. While there
is some interest in peaceful pkill, it isn't the main thrust of guilds or
orders. As well, it is an arena activity with no risk. We can't really see
any need for it.
**Increasing emote/oemote buffers - We actually -do- see possibilities for
abuse. Anything that takes half a room description size to describe has a lot of
potential to become annoying. Aside from that, when oemote was increased, it was
done with the understanding that it stopped there.

Multiplay indicator for group display
Denied by VC: (many of these came in through the IDEA command)
Idea: Tzadkiel's Touch adjustment - Will be given to TS to reflect on.
Idea: Casting/Ignore list - ignore spells from those on ignore list.
Idea: Containers on Auction. Too easy for people to abuse with misleading notes
and items not meant to be auctioned.
Idea: Bank command (See bank balance with a command). Use the balance command,
worth, or score.
Idea: Identity of Auction Seller. Couple of opportunities here for harrassment
of the seller.
Idea: Color code "level" command. Just doesn't seem necessary enough for the
effort.
Idea: New renames for Blorin. The purpose here is for wedding rings so that
people don't have to use glory for them.
Idea: Prompt token for position. Seems a lot of effort for little return. If you
arent standing, you cant move. Good as way as any to tell.
Idea: Golden Tickets. Quests are held occasionally asking for these tickets.
They've been held at all times, not just EST evenings. Future quests are always
being planned. Please watch for them.

Make favouring a bit easier based on years devoted
Denied by VC
Increase level for chardelete - This command was added originally with the
intent of never increasing it. A level 2-5 character is essentially valueless.
Higher than that, the value of a well-statted character increases opening us to
issues with password theft, people accidentally deleting and requesting that the
character be restored and similar.
If you have any questions about these, please contact a TS rep.

Effective immediately in order to better represent you, TS will be removing org
reps and placing everyone at large. We are moving to a more collaborative
structure in which all TS reps are encouraged to aid in the proposal process.
Where once only a single rep would formulate a proposal on behalf of an
individual, the individual and TS as a whole will now make a joint effort to
bring the idea to life.
Using a more collaborative approach should encourage proposals that are better
developed thereby increasing the likelihood that a proposal will be approved for
implementation.
We would like to stress that this does not mean that orgs will not be
represented. In fact, orgs are encouraged to work with any TS rep(s) and should
also benefit from the change and increased input.
All new applicants to TS will need to apply as an at large rep.
Any questions or concerns should be directed to me.
Regards,
Cappadocius, Head of The Symposium

Denied by CoE:
**Multiplay indicator for group display - This doesn't seem like a part of "in
;game" knowledge, nor does it seem possible in anyway that other players
should know your multi status. Yes, it would make group members happier to know
who was multi'ing, but it doesn't seem sensible and it also seems to be the
responsibility of the individual player to ensure they aren't hindering their
group.
**(Idea) Adept/mana boost - An experience boost is given on adept. This
suggestion would have to be a mana boost for mana casters and a blood boost for
mon-mana casters and then what of skills for non-casters or skills generally? It
all just doesn't add up.
**(Idea) Glory owner showing in ID - The person that owns a glory tagged item
knows that it is. It either _is_ or it _is not_ your item
**(Idea) Con/pacifist mob
**(Idea) Lights with AC
Should you have any questions or comments, please contact a TS rep.
