Summary

The meeting focused primarily on preparations for the upcoming Scribe Summit, September 25–27, 2026. The presentation schedule is filling well, although several remaining slots still need presenters. Trygg plans to verify each presenter's participation and scheduled time over the coming week so that the completed schedule can be announced.

The group discussed what should be included in the Summit's opening ceremony. Suggestions included an introduction by Marcus as the host and a possible blessing by an Initiate. There was disagreement over whether a blessing was appropriate, and the discussion became heated between Aldae and Marcus. Aldae subsequently left the meeting and stated that he would not attend the Scribe Summit. After further discussion, the group decided to forego an opening blessing this year, although the possibility of a closing blessing was mentioned.

Considerable discussion was devoted to the Summit's closing event. Ideas included an OOC dance, an IC banquet, a dance troupe performance, and short performances of songs, poetry, stories, or dances. The emerging plan was to combine several of these ideas: a short program of performances followed by a dance troupe, possibly in conjunction with a banquet. The closing program should remain relatively short, preferably no more than two hours.

Myriam agreed to contact dance troupe connections about performing at the closing event. Sabayna agreed to put out a call for singers, poets, storytellers, dancers, and others who might be interested in contributing a short performance.

Thunder Mountain will arrange access for SCoG members for the September 16 meeting and during the Summit, September 25–27. Marcus also agreed that temporary rezzing rights could be arranged for presenters who need them. A list of presenters requiring those permissions will need to be provided.

The revised Summit poster was distributed for members to place in their cities where permitted. Myriam also has banners, bunting, and other decorations available.

Near the end of the meeting, Trygg added Kati Evans's presentation, “From the Page to the Scene,” at 1:00 PM SLT on Saturday to the Summit schedule. Lion Euler's presentation still needs to be confirmed.

The group will continue filling the remaining presentation slots, with Trygg, Myriam, Kar, Astary, and possibly El among those who may help complete the program.

Decisions

The Summit will not open with an Initiate blessing this year.
The closing event will likely include short performances followed by a dance troupe, potentially combined with an IC banquet.
The closing festivities should not extend much beyond two hours.
SCoG members will receive access to Thunder Mountain for the September 16 meeting and Summit weekend.
Presenters who need temporary rezzing rights can be accommodated.
Kati Evans — “From the Page to the Scene” — Saturday at 1:00 PM SLT was added to the schedule.

Meeting Transcript

[08:05:10] Trygg Tyran (tryggtyran): "Very well. we can begin now. The attendance is disappointing, but perhaps it will pick up next time. One never knows how our regular meetings will draw."

[08:05:36] Trygg Tyran (tryggtyran): "Welcome to the regular bi-weekly meeting of Scribe Caste of Gor* I am Trygg Tyran, and I will be facilitating the meeting today. First I would like to thank Marcus Aurelius Antonius for allowing us to meet in his city, and in his beautiful learning center. Thank you Marcus, and to Myriam for greeting us today."

[08:09:03] Sabayna Kiseki no shukujo (tremlays): Tal all together

[08:09:21] Trygg Tyran (tryggtyran): "If I may direct your attention to the current schedule that Myriam has displayed. As you can see, in terms of scheduling we are doing quite well. We have four people including Myriam to schedule, and we should have all the time blocks filled. I think that we are presenting a reasonable array of scribe related topics. And when we schedule Kar, Myriam, Astary and myself, we should have a nice full conference. Tal Sabayna and welcome"

[08:09:25] Aldae Nagy: Tall Lady Sabayna

[08:09:31] Bea Lael Usami (lifepath) Tal Lady Sabayna

[08:10:10] Trygg Tyran (tryggtyran): Myriam, if you would, please leave the schedule in the room so that the people who attend the late meeting can also see it."

[08:10:27] Myriam-Aliyah Aurelius Antonius (noirnyte.spires): *smiles*...and this year i didn't have to do a nearly full day in the middle - which is an improvement.

[08:12:16] Trygg Tyran (tryggtyran): "Yes, that is good, and we will need you to greet arrivals and do some introductions, which brings us to action item 1: I will need to verify the schedule with the presenters, to make sure that they are comfortable with the timing of their presentations."

[08:13:13] Trygg Tyran (tryggtyran): "Completing that, we will announce the summit to the three major groups: SCoG*, our group, SCoG, the other SCoG group, and Blue Caste group

[08:16:04] Trygg Tyran (tryggtyran): "So, in terms of decision making, that leaves us with a few items. The first being the opening ceremony, or welcoming ceremony. I have some general ideas, but I would like to hear yours. Does anyone have any ideas for the opening of the summit?"

[08:17:31] Myriam-Aliyah Aurelius Antonius (noirnyte.spires): Sir Marcus should make an Introduction...*smiles*

[08:17:46] Myriam-Aliyah Aurelius Antonius (noirnyte.spires): As it's his city....

[08:17:59] Sabayna Kiseki no shukujo (tremlays): Blessed Melampus is not available, unfortunately, but perhaps could Blessed Tariq give a blessing.

[08:18:24] Myriam-Aliyah Aurelius Antonius (noirnyte.spires): That could work....*smiles*

[08:18:28] Trygg Tyran (tryggtyran): Welcome BB.

[08:18:33] Aldae Nagy: Where have you seen Gor is a religious planet?

[08:18:42] Aldae Nagy: We don't need to be blessed

[08:18:56] Marcus Aurelius Antoninus (mathman.orellana): Welcome to Thunder Mountain. We are honored in hosting the group

[08:19:11] Aldae Nagy: Stop those onlinisms, please

[08:19:34] Aldae Nagy: Just have a welcome speech

[08:19:59] Myriam-Aliyah Aurelius Antonius (noirnyte.spires): So what are initates Aldae?

[08:20:24] Aldae Nagy: Good question, Myriam and you know what the Scribes think about them

[08:20:32] Trygg Tyran (tryggtyran) nods to Sabayna. "That's a nice idea. There is tension in the castes of Gor with the Initiates, certainly Aldae, and the initiates have their own legal system, but I am ambivalent as to whether we open with a blessing. What do the rest of you think?'

[08:22:08] Sabayna Kiseki no shukujo (tremlays): It is not an onlinism, when the initiates do their work.

[08:23:13] Myriam-Aliyah Aurelius Antonius (noirnyte.spires): "I don't know what harm it can do, as more than just scribes will hear it, the people of a city are usually involved with the opening ceremony... before we do the fun stuff, and anyone can attend the scribe summit, its not a closed door event even if we did do it behind closed doors - my opinion."

[08:23:16] Aldae Nagy: As Sir Marcus thinks that he can say I am not allowed to tell m thought, I think I have to leave. I won't attend the Scribes Summit. Thank you, Marcus for your rudeness

[08:23:28] Myriam-Aliyah Aurelius Antonius (noirnyte.spires): Aldae! no

[08:23:37] Myriam-Aliyah Aurelius Antonius (noirnyte.spires): Really, please sit down.

[08:23:39] Aldae Nagy looks at MArcus and rises his middle finger

[08:23:55] Aldae Nagy: For the other Free, I wish you well

[08:23:55] Myriam-Aliyah Aurelius Antonius (noirnyte.spires): *shakes her head*

[08:23:57] Trygg Tyran (tryggtyran): Wait

[08:26:16] Myriam-Aliyah Aurelius Antonius (noirnyte.spires): Lets continue please...

[08:28:13] Sabayna Kiseki no shukujo (tremlays): It was just a suggestion, since there was a blessing at the beginning last year as well. But it doesn't have to happen if there is no consensus and some people have reservations about it.

[08:29:54] Myriam-Aliyah Aurelius Antonius (noirnyte.spires): "There is tolerance... and then intolerance.." looks to Marcus, unfortunately he picks often the wrong point to stand upon".

[08:30:06] Myriam-Aliyah Aurelius Antonius (noirnyte.spires) smiles gently.

[08:31:40] Trygg Tyran (tryggtyran): "Yes, let's forego the blessing this year. Blessed Tariq has been under the weather anyway. Maybe a closing blessing. There are plenty of people who can do an introduction. We will table that for now.

[08:32:57] Trygg Tyran (tryggtyran): Item 2 is the closing event. I am not much of an OOC dance guy, and so if we do an OOC dance, my participation will be limited, but if that is what the group wants, we should hunt up a deejay. Thoughts?"

[08:34:58] Trygg Tyran (tryggtyran): Any thoughts on the closing event?

[08:36:30] Marcus Aurelius Antoninus (mathman.orellana): Well, I guess it comes down to do people usually attend those?

[08:37:04] Trygg Tyran (tryggtyran): I don't know. Myriam, you are a veteran of these events. Do people usually attend closing OOC dances?

[08:40:50] Sabayna Kiseki no shukujo (tremlays): Perhaps something in-character. A banquet, for instance, where short performances could be presented.

[08:40:55] Myriam-Aliyah Aurelius Antonius (noirnyte.spires): To be honest i have never attended one

[08:41:37] Marcus Aurelius Antoninus (mathman.orellana): That sounds like a plan

[08:41:50] Myriam-Aliyah Aurelius Antonius (noirnyte.spires): hmmm.... Banquet hmm sounds interesting, smiles i know a lady with a long table lol

[08:41:52] Marcus Aurelius Antoninus (mathman.orellana): So maybe a dance group?

[08:41:58] Myriam-Aliyah Aurelius Antonius (noirnyte.spires): nods,

[08:42:29] Sabayna Kiseki no shukujo (tremlays): Years ago, we once concluded a Sardar Fair with a banquet—back when it wasn't yet so large and didn't have so many participants.

[08:43:32] Trygg Tyran (tryggtyran) smiles as Kati enters. "Welcome Kati. We were just having a discussion of the closing event. So we have an IC dance, a dance troupe presentation, and a banquet on the table. I like those ideas. Let's combine the IC dance and banquet into one, if that is what the group decides.

[08:44:09] Trygg Tyran (tryggtyran): Or if we go with a dance troupe, does anyone have any contacts with Sheen or Luminara? Are there others?"

[08:44:34] Myriam-Aliyah Aurelius Antonius (noirnyte.spires): lol.... Are we talking black and white ball and banquet?

[08:45:32] Myriam-Aliyah Aurelius Antonius (noirnyte.spires): I know the choreographer of one of the groups i can ask them

[08:46:22] Bea Lael Usami (lifepath) @ Raises hand

[08:46:28] Trygg Tyran (tryggtyran): Yes Bea?

[08:47:17] Bea Lael Usami (lifepath) I know that the Scribe Summit is different from the En'kara Fair, but for that fair many people attended the closing ceremony; which was basically an ending to the fair and letting everyone know it is over and thanking them for their time type of thing'

[08:48:29] Trygg Tyran (tryggtyran): Yes and we should do that just after the final presentation no matter what we do for a closing.

[08:49:35] Trygg Tyran (tryggtyran): "I'm absolutely fine with whatever the group wants. All I would ask is that it not be too much work. Perhaps someone would take over that element of it?"

[08:52:04] Trygg Tyran (tryggtyran): "In the meantime, Myriam, please contact your friend in the dance group and see it they are available on September 27 at about noon SL. Marcus, you have a space here that can accommodate a dance troupe production?"

[08:53:15] Myriam-Aliyah Aurelius Antonius (noirnyte.spires): I have already and i have also contacted Hermes.

[08:54:55] Sabayna Kiseki no shukujo (tremlays): At the banquet concluding the Se’Kara Fair (2017), everyone was invited to present a song, poem, dance, or story: "Please contact Neroli Ihnen if you wish to perform a song, story or dance that celebrates your city." A diverse program came together.

[08:54:55] Trygg Tyran (tryggtyran): "Next, we have the matter of access. I would like to ask that all members of SCoG be cleared for access at TM today, Wednesday September 16, and Friday Sept 25-Sunday Sept 27. I would appreciate that Marcus."

[08:56:22] Marcus Aurelius Antoninus (mathman.orellana): Will do

[08:56:38] Trygg Tyran (tryggtyran): "Thank you Marcus."

[08:58:02] Trygg Tyran (tryggtyran): Sabayna, that is a lovely idea. So, would you like to see what you can come up with? Perhaps if you get people who are interested in that, and Myriam can book a dance troupe, that will be the closing. Maybe a short presentation of poetry and song, followed by the dance troupe?"

[08:58:32] Trygg Tyran (tryggtyran): "People will be tired from the weekend and ready to log anyway. So we shouldn't go more than two hours."

[08:59:34] Trygg Tyran (tryggtyran): What do you think? Myriam? Sabayna?

[09:00:02] Sabayna Kiseki no shukujo (tremlays): Unfortunately, I won't be able to participate because I'll be at a conference in real life at the same time. But putting out a call will surely generate some offers. It doesn't have to be anything long.

[09:03:52] Trygg Tyran (tryggtyran): Very well. Thank you Sabayna. If you would put out the call in SCoG* and ask for interested people to contact me. We can do it, if there is any interest, before the dance program."

[09:04:36] Sabayna Kiseki no shukujo (tremlays): I'd be happy to. I can certainly do that.

[09:06:12] Trygg Tyran (tryggtyran): Thank you, Sabayna, and Myriam you will contact the dance troupe?"

[09:08:11] Myriam-Aliyah Aurelius Antonius (noirnyte.spires): i will try no one is responding

[09:08:41] Trygg Tyran (tryggtyran): No rush Myriam. Keep at it and let me know the results.

[09:08:58] Trygg Tyran (tryggtyran): We will come up with something."

[09:09:07] Bea Lael Usami (lifepath) Are any decorations needed? I have a lot

[09:10:16] Trygg Tyran (tryggtyran): I don't think so, Bea, but thank you. One more issue for Marcus. Some of our presenters might need temporary rezzing rights during their presentations. You will be willing to grant that?

[09:10:28] Myriam-Aliyah Aurelius Antonius (noirnyte.spires): i have banners etc to put up and bunting and so on :)

[09:10:37] Marcus Aurelius Antoninus (mathman.orellana): Yes we can arrange that too

[09:10:48] Myriam-Aliyah Aurelius Antonius (noirnyte.spires): ust need to know who.

[09:11:05] Trygg Tyran (tryggtyran): "Also, here is the revised poster texture for each of you to put up at your cities if allowed.

[09:11:24] Marcus Aurelius Antoninus (mathman.orellana): Would you make a list so that we can plan for that?

[09:11:45] Myriam-Aliyah Aurelius Antonius (noirnyte.spires): nods yes i saw that

[09:12:58] Trygg Tyran (tryggtyran): Very well. We are about out of time. There is much more to consider. I would like to have a full schedule by next week so we can announce the schedule. I will verify participation and scheduling with the presenters and confirm, then I will announce. I think we still have the potential to do a successful conference that is of benefit to the scribing community.

[09:13:37] Trygg Tyran (tryggtyran): "We will meet in two weeks time in this room on September 16.

[09:13:49] Myriam-Aliyah Aurelius Antonius (noirnyte.spires): yes yes

[09:14:01] Myriam-Aliyah Aurelius Antonius (noirnyte.spires): wonderful

[09:14:46] Myriam-Aliyah Aurelius Antonius (noirnyte.spires): we should be closer to ready and this will be the last time to see the city, for after then we will likely be changing everything.

[09:16:12] Myriam-Aliyah Aurelius Antonius (noirnyte.spires): So it will be exciting times.

[09:16:12] Sabayna Kiseki no shukujo (tremlays): The wall chart is already looking very good. You have managed to fill it very well over the last few weeks.

[09:16:57] Myriam-Aliyah Aurelius Antonius (noirnyte.spires): Yes Trygg has worked his magic, my personal life has somewhat been limiting my capacity to help... i hope it will settle.

[09:17:38] Trygg Tyran (tryggtyran): Oh Myriam, we have one more event to add. Kati Evans at 1 pm on Saturday. 13:00:00 (1 pm) SL Time: From the Page to the Scene, (Kati Evans)

[09:19:59] Bea Lael Usami (lifepath) smiled while listening about the event

[09:20:00] Trygg Tyran (tryggtyran): "Also, will you confirm Lion Euler's presentation?"

[09:23:54] Trygg Tyran (tryggtyran): "Anyway, we are out of time. I thank you all for coming, and we will see each other, hopefully ready to go, in two weeks."

[09:25:16] Trygg Tyran (tryggtyran): Thank you again Marcus. Myriam, we will be in touch about schedule changes.

[09:25:39] Sabayna Kiseki no shukujo (tremlays) stands up and stretches: "Thank you for the interesting meeting. Have a good evening, everyone, and safe travels."

[09:25:46] Autumn Krigerand (autumneir): safe paths everyone, hope ayou all have an enjoyable day

[09:25:52] Trygg Tyran (tryggtyran): And thank you all for coming and for helping support the summit

[09:26:14] Trygg Tyran (tryggtyran): We will put out minutes after the 5 pm meeting.

[09:26:28] Marcus Aurelius Antoninus (mathman.orellana): will do brother

[09:26:38] Marcus Aurelius Antoninus (mathman.orellana): Thank you

[09:27:02] Myriam-Aliyah Aurelius Antonius (noirnyte.spires): Thankyou and you sister dear, and Lady Sabayna it is always a pleasure to see you and thankyou for your advice.

[09:28:45] Myriam-Aliyah Aurelius Antonius (noirnyte.spires): Thankyou Lady Bea, take care please

[09:30:02] Myriam-Aliyah Aurelius Antonius (noirnyte.spires): Trygg, you and i could cover these gaps if we needed, and i could rope Lady El in.

[09:30:17] Myriam-Aliyah Aurelius Antonius (noirnyte.spires): She hasnt been here in a while.

[09:30:37] Myriam-Aliyah Aurelius Antonius (noirnyte.spires): "Safe Paths sister dear"

[09:37:14] Trygg Tyran (tryggtyran): "I want to give Kar a chance to present, and I have one as does Astary. But yes, I would like El to present as well.

[09:38:16] Trygg Tyran (tryggtyran): "Be well all."
