Minutes, 1999-03-07 Recorded by Bryn Neuenschwander Sent to hrsfa-announce Sun, Mar 7 1997 21:31 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The meeting tonight was opened by the Ministry of Love despite our current state of martial law. There may be an outing this Friday to see the Star Wars trailer -- oh yeah, and the Wing Commander movie too. Futher details will be forthcoming from Matt Withers; contact withers@fas with questions or interest. There was little social stuff after this week's meeting due to the state of war and the danger to our assassins, but expect a game or something after next week's meeting. We need to begin planning for the Myld Hunt and the Spring Party. Let withers@fas or alandry@fas know if you would be willing to host the latter. SIG REPORTS Milk and Cookies SIG may meet this Saturday; SIG leader and Justice of the Game Tom Lotze may arrange a timeout in Assassin to permit players to attend without fear. Writers' SIG is meeting tomorrow (Monday) in the Science Center Greenhouse at 8. Short stories would be highly appreciated, no longer than 5 single-spaced pages, in a push to get an issue of FUSION out for prefrosh weekend. According to rumour, Elven Orthography and Comics SIGs did not meet this week because Justice of the Game Mike Epstein burnt all our samples of elven orthography and our comics. Gaming SIG: Teenagers from Outer Space is ongoing. Players took a quantum physics exam involving going back in time ten years and a UFO crashing into Harvard and destroying everyone there. It is on the lookout for new players, particularly female ones; contact Matt Duhan (fringe@shore.net). There are rumours that Cool Movie PSIG is being revived. A suggestion was made to hold a night of Kubrick movies in the director's honor. I am now breaking general procedure in detailing the end of the meeting, since I'd be surprised if most of you make it through the chaos that will follow shortly. The Military Wing awarded medals to those assassins present who had accomplished kills against HCS, and then the meeting was adjourned so we could hear the ballad composed by Filk SIG in honor of the war. But before that, there were the nonconstitutional elections. All seventy-six categories of them.

Congratulations! For your perserverance, you now get to see the other fifty categories. As background history, these were all nominated and seconded in a bid to ensure that Lords of Chaos would win Game With the Most In-Jokes -- which it did. However, a coup was pulled, and Bob was univerally voted into all fifty positions at once.
