Clan Meetings

Clan meetings are to be agnostic of sect or political ties, these meetings are called with the primary focus of the clan first. Even if the Primogen is running it and the character may be an Anarch, it is still about the clan with no relation to the political factors nor negative outcomes from being of a differing faction, unless reason is given.

Those shunned by the clan status, (not faction) will not be welcomed to Clan Meetings, though only the Primogen or representative-led ones will bar the shunned person. Meetings with an absent Primogen or Representative will be dependent based on the discretion of the attendees.

During meetings we will be using threads and a masterpost style similar to how we do campaigns to cover all of the topics that want to be discussed. What this means is that you’ll do smaller posts, even just one line sentences in this thread and when you feel it’s over or you simply want to, you combine all of your posts with a header and put it into the appropriate channel on server. This is to allow as much play as possible for different sized clans and timezones, there is no turn order unless asked for specifically.

You can either do one master post or a series of master posts, but you must post it within that week to get the experience for that week, unlike campaigns. If you are unable to because of the meeting running later than anticipated or because of timezones, you are free to let the Justicars know and they’ll add your exp on once the masterpost is made.

Meetings called by Players:

1. Players may write to their primogen or clan representative and they will get the word out for them, no longer do you need to meet PC individually and hand invite. As long as your character has written an introductory letter to the tower they will be informed of the meeting.

2. If there is a meeting that isn’t involving the use of the Primogen to inform everyone, or is a deliberate attempt to exclude a player character… The person organizing this must inform the player OOC within the clan channel and openly and in good faith communicate an outcome or a plot in which could be developed from this, prior to the meeting being arranged or held. Be considerate and polite to other players essentially.

3. If your character feels slighted or bothered by the outcomes or happenings during a meeting, they may write or call/text during and report this to their primogen. What happens? Who knows.

Meetings held by the Primogen or Clan Representative

1. Players can OOC ask for the meeting to be held by the primogen if the majority of the clan intends to attend or if someone plans on holding one and invites the primogen/rep.

2. The Primogen or representative will be played by an Archon or a Justicar and the SPC may be taking lead or may sit back depending on the direction of the meeting, they are there to supervise the behavior within the meeting. These meetings will always be held in a kindred-safe location.

3. Primogen meetings may entail some sort of mission or directive as they are more clan business-oriented. We are going to ask OOC for an agenda or range of topics that the clan would like to discuss prior to the meeting and if you have anything, please let us know.

Projects

The process for a clan to begin a project is as follows; 

1. Have a clan meeting with the Clan’s Primogen or Representative present.

2. During the meeting the characters may discuss their ideas and concepts for future projects, and it is best to note that these things are best done when able to be represented in dots. Such as merits, backgrounds or loresheets. More abstract ideas may need to be brought down and be considered how to approach and some of the conversation can happen in OOC threads to ensure that everyone is on the same page.

3. Once the ideas are pitched and characters are given their time to discuss, they may then bring it to a vote within the clan’s channel OOC. For any project to move forward, they must have the majority of the clan agreeing to it.

4. The type of project it will be is determined by what the task is. Some tasks may be socially oriented if a clan is attempting to garner status between another clan, but most projects will come with a set of rolls and story arcs they will follow. The Storyteller will drop the project once they finish writing it.
