Family Reunion in Ro

Posted Thursday, June 27, 2002 by Darksnight

Click for a larger picture of the Family meeting!As the guardians began to gather – the first of the bad weather started! Rain, as usual, right on time. The weather, however, is one thing that is far from able to stop the Guardians' meeting. It began with a warm welcome to all those attending. A moment of silence was brought upon the guardians to show the respect for Zoiwwie and her family, as her mother passed away recently.

But, turning from departures to arrivals, Lord Morty Undercrypt recently returned to us all and Sir Tangletwigs Thistlemist has also arisen and rejoined the ranks of his family! Everybody rose and cheered, and cheered and applauded (not missing out, they kept an eye on their platinum bags again)!

More good news: the leader and her protectors decided another Protector was needed. Radyn Truthsinger has now become the Protector of the Eternal Flame! The ministers also have had a change! Two new Ministers to announce – Blakmaggie as the Minister of Treasury and Darksnight as the Minister of Past and Present, who will be our Historian. The regent also stated there was still a Minister position open, the Minister of Recreation. This post will work directly with Tangletwigs to co-ordinate many fun events, cooking contests, fairs, things with goats and more all coming up in the future! [A few days after the meeting, Viejo accepted the position of Minister of Recreation - Ed.]

The rumours of disarray have been halted in their tracks by the comforting words that we have gained many new members, far more than have left our ranks. Those that left are mainly probationers for whom it did not quite work out. We have had many more welcomes than goodbyes! Along these lines, there are quotes worth mentioning from the meeting. These are:


We will never sacrifice our integrity to become ‘uber’ or ‘phat l007’ hungry. The kind of attitude is not what the Guardians wish, or welcome. We are a family of close friends and that is what we shall stay. Quote from Gwanalla: "We formed this Family that was based on Truth, Respect and Honor."

Also it is to be noted, the alliances are no longer formal. The Guardians have reviewed their need for such bonds and was decided that they are no longer needed. With the Stormseekers, however, is a different matter, due to there never being a formal alliance with them, they are our Sister Guild and the bonds there are strong indeed.

Also, it has been announced there will be events/raids for our younger members, however it is a difficult process indeed to arrange such events for such members. We ask that these events have your full co-operation, whether it is your main, or alt that attends, we shall all receive much enjoyment out of these times indeed!

After all, ‘tis certainly a time for much celebration!
