DECISION 20X6: HRSFA ELECTION MEETING

People got paid 20 cents to see cartoons. The Harvard National 
Forensics Tournament was taking up the hallway and all the other 
rooms in Sever.

"I do not wiggle. I swoop."
-- Mindy

All was laid to burnination. It was... Treasurer season.

***************
***************
NORMAL BUSINESS
***************
***************

"So we're gonna start now."
-- Dennis

***************
LARPs & RPGs
***************

Shadowrun (Charles) -
Will start in two weeks.

Heather -
It's full.

Psi-Corps (Tony) -
Send in an application to get a spot.

Mage/EABA (Henri/Dev) -
They want people to try to munchkinize their souped up version of 
Mage to make sure it doesn't break.

Clue (Mindy/Jon) -
It happened.

***************
MASQ
***************

Though it was intended as an anti-Valentine's Day sort of thing, this 
date has already passed and the next few weeks are a bit busy. Mardi 
Gras (which is on a Tuesday) was discarded as a possibility. Talk to 
Starr with suggestions.

***************
NON NON CON CON CONS
***************

Nominations: Next Sunday (2/23)
Elections: The Sunday After That (3/2)

Chris will be hurtin'.

***************
RANDOM COOL STUFF
***************

Winthrop now has a kicka$$ high-definition 60" TV - and it can be 
reserved. If possible B5 will happen there tomorrow, but it is an 
exciting resource for the future.

Adams will soon have a DDR setup in the Grille.

***************
***************
SIGS
***************
***************

"Anybody wanna make a SIG?"
-- Dennis

Three "new" SIGS were confirmed with the requisite 8 names: 
Farscape/Stargate $IG, MST3k SIG, and Video Game SIG. Chris is the 
leader for the first one, Jason for the last two.

***************

$IG:
Bugs Bunny festival rocked. Duck Dodgers the man.

***************

Star Trek SIG:
The Proto-Datathon on Wednesday managed to bring down the total 
episode count of the future Datathon to a manageable figure.

***************

Milk 'n' Cookies:
Maybe a meeting Junior Parents' weekend (weekend after next).

***************

Babylon 5 SIG:
Extreme goodness (gospel music included) tomorrow, come even if you 
haven't seen a single episode yet. Could be Winthrop, if not probably 
the Grille as usual.

"BABYLON FIIIIIIVE!"
-- Dennis

***************

Magic (SIG):
As part of Grille-squatting tomorrow before B5, because of Joe 
Millionaire's two-hour special, there will be a drafting.

***************

MST3k & Anime SIGs:
Nothing recently. Future is nebulous. Something will happen.

***************

Video Game SIG:
Has been ultra-active of late. Organized SIG-like activities are coming.

***************

Anti-Matter SIG: ?

***************

CIG:
New Buffy & Smallville Tuesday - "Get it Done" and "Fever." No Angel. 
We found the mole.

"I think this is one of the ones where everyone's in great danger."
-- Charles

"She's the beast."
-- Cassia

****************
****************
OFFICER ELECTIONS
****************
****************

Aaron instituted a new tradition: a well-deserved round of applause 
for the outgoing officer board.

After a short break, the games began.

Nominees with a plus (+) were elected something else first.

Nominees with an asterisk (*) are declinements. Declensions. Declined people.

****************
CO-CHAIRS: KAITLIN & CHARLES
****************

Nominated: Charles, Chris, Kaitlin, Rebecca, Dev*, Cassia*, Tony*

"Hey, everybody, we're going to have a con."
-- Rebecca

"[shrug]"
-- Chris

"HRSFA is like a mustard seed... Do I have to justify that? This is 
why Jesus failed in his mission."
-- Chris

Rebecca: "I think it would be neat if HRSFA branched into things that 
happened during daylight hours and even outside."

Kartik: "HERETIC! HERETIC!"

Warren: "Burn her!"

****************
INFERNAL: CHRIS
****************

Nominated: Chris, Warren, Elisabeth, Yves*, Rebecca*, Kaitlin*, 
Cassia*, Monica*, Charles+, Dev*

"Infernal is like a mustard seed..."
-- Chris

"There's a reason that I spend more time listening than I spend talking!"
-- Elisabeth

Warren: "I am willing to sacrifice my time, possibly my health, and 
my somewhat dubious relationship to the law."

Elisabeth: "I can attest to that."

"Given that this is the Harvard bureaucracy, which means it is the 
festering mother that spawned all future bureaucracies..."
-- Warren

"Photocopy the application, so you can say, 'I did. Bitch.'"
-- Chris

****************
EXFERNAL: WARREN
****************

Nominated: Dev, Mary Grace, Warren, Kaitlin+, Charles+, Chris+, 
Monica*, Elisabeth*, Rebecca*

"I would become Rebecca's bitch."

"I want a better, sturdier, more robotic con."

"I'm not even allowed to date outside [HRSFA]."

-- Dev

****************
TREASURER: TONY
****************

Nominated: Dev, Tony, Vincent, Kartik*, Kowarsky*, Monica*

Someone emailed Tony asking: 1) Can you sum up your platform in a 
single word, and 2) Would that word be "lock box?"

"First, lock box is two words."
-- Tony

"Can you rank us in terms of nerdiness?"
-- Dev

Role models:

Vincent - Michael Jordan
Tony - Tony Blair
Dev - Charles

"The fact that we had money was confusing, even to the Treasurer..."
-- Jason

***************
AND THUS IT BEGAN...
***************

"Elections... how 'bout that."
-- Dennis

"To these people you've entrusted your lives, your souls. Good luck."
-- Ender

"Dude, he stole my beer!"
-- Dennis

We went to Uno's. Huzzah.

But this will be determined later.
