- SLAIS Gamers has had a Facebook group for a while, but now we want to be a real LASSA group.
- Constitution
- Loosely based on the ALA group’s constitution, but has things like “sorcery” added.
- The constitution version that was discussed at the meeting was posted on the Facebook page a day or two earlier.
- Have changed “dungeon master” to “dungeon moderator” in the interest of gender neutrality.
- Membership
- Discussion about opening membership to non-SLAISers or non-UBCers. May decide to welcome people to attend/participate in meetings, but they will not be able to vote or be on the executive.
- Decided to table until the group is established and then we can consider amending the constitution.
- Selective glossary
- Dungeon moderator: Will be responsible for ensuring that games have necessary supplies and that there are sufficient resources to learn them. Will also keep score.
- Minions = Members
- Guild = LASSA group (i.e., “rival guilds” = groups other than SLAIS Gamers)
- Constitution ratification
- Read through the constitution, made some amendments and ratified (vote was unanimous).
- Matthew will post/circulate updated constitution?
- Executive
- Elected by acclamation
- Co-thrones (co-chairs): Luke and Sadie
- Scribe (secretary): Maria
- Banker (treasurer): Robert
- Internet overseer (webmaster): Matthew
- Dungeon moderator: Erik
- Jay will be a non-member helper… especially since he loves to read game rules.
- Arch-wizard (faculty advisor): Will ask Aaron if he is interested
- Other committees will be formed as needed.
- Events
- International Gaming Day is coming up on November 15th. We should do something…?
- SFU has a large games library. Will look into organising a tour.
- Fundraising ideas
- Bakesale: Every group seems to do this.
- Games tournament: Discussion around how to monetise this.
- LASSA meeting
- Next Thursday at noon, room 213 in the Sub. Luke will attend.
- Regular meeting dates
- Some discussion about whether we should meet in the afternoon or evening. Less time to play games in the afternoon (limited to about an hour), but more people around.
- Nothing finalised.
- Elected by acclamation
