Meeting Notes

Self Sufficency Concept Notes

First meeting to take place on the late evening of 8/2/11 GMT. I hope enough people see this so my house is absolutely packed, with ideas and Midgard clan members. See you all there hopefully. Thorvald.

 Covered: 

Throughout the duration of this meeting, Midgard discussed the difficult concept of self sufficiency. We decided that there will be Market Days wherein we trade amongst ourselves the goods of the past market period, and sell the surplus off to the Outlanders. This Surplus will be stockpiled by a Quarter Master within Midgard's Treasury. A Wikia inventory will be created to track our items so as to be positive about what we have and haven't got.

The structure of this self sufficiency idea must be, as Darkur puts it, "As simple as possible". Therefore, we have organized it into steps. Basically: 1) Resources are gathered, raw materials stockpiled. 2) Materials are processed. 3) Everyting is brought to Market Day, traded, and the Surplus sold to outlanders.

Finally, P.R branch has been established (needs a name), currently consisting of Xennin (Darkur) so far. This branch is hereby charged with diplomacy towards the outlander's trade. We do not want anything but their buisness, but in order for Market day to successfully sell off it's surplus, we will need a sure attendance.

New, more authentic names for current ranks:
As most of you hopefully already know, Hero rank has been renamed "Einherjar" because it has more of an authentic ring to it. We've been meeting to discuss renaming for all other ranks also. Following are some good names we've found, these are just potential names, Im posting them here so the rest of the clan can see them and give feedback.
 * Hedersvakt = Honour Guard
 * Svenne = Villager
 * Äldste = Elder
 * Allmänt = General (as in "in general")
 * Fältherre = General
 * Rekkr = Warrior
