EGM Minutes 26/11/06 - Rewritten by Yoda for a better narrative

*Copied from the Watt Gamers section*

Present: Yoda, Sandy, James, Liam and enough members that we could hold the meeting.

What Happened
Yoda kicked off the meeting and opened nominations for the Secretary position. Then got yelled at for not explaining what the secretary did.

An explanation was given and nominations began.

- Fiona was nominated by Steve and seconded by Stephen.
- John was nominated by Yoda and seconded by James
- Magic deck nominated by Liam, seconded by Ben

John and Fiona's proxy (since she wsn't present) gave speeches, got asked questions and then summararily kicked out of the room.

First Vote
- Fiona: 6
- John: 6
- Magic Deck: 2
- RON: 1
- Abstain: 7 (damn me and not making a decision and thus adding 3 votes to abstentions)

The got dragged back in, told it was a draw and asked more questions. When asked if they would be happy to decide whether or not their fate could be decided via a gladitorial wrestling match should there be another draw, they agreed. They then got kicked out again.

Second Vote
- Fiona: 7
- John: 7
- Other: 8

There was a debate over whether proxy votes should be used in a second vote or not. Since the proxies made it a draw again, it was decided that they would, thus setting precedent.

The Wrestling Match
So they got dragged back in and told that they'd have to square off in a gladiatorial wrestling match. There was a quick vote to see if the society really wanted to vote their Secretary in like that... they did.

Our 4th Man (proxy Secretary for the meeting) refused to minute any further. All minutes from now were minuted by the Publicity Officer.

They got given their awesome wrestling names of "Butch McBeefNugget" and "Chunk McBeefGravy" by Liam and we were ready to go.

We realised that we didn't have the insurance for an actual wrestling match, so a thumb-war was agreed upon instead.

There was a tense match. I as the President was called to announce the match and call the count. There were many close calls, repeatedly we got to 2, but the hold was broken just before we could complete the count.

Eventually, after many minutes of flailing arms and the competitors about to break a sweat, Butch McBeefNugget won! Or rather the proxy standing in for her did since she wasn't there.

Fiona, now known as Butch McBeefNugget was duly elected as Secretary of Watt Gamers.

It was summararily agreed that the election was simultaneously the best and worst election ever.

Other Business
Liam raised Nationals stuff which didn't get minuted in the slightest...

He basically went other the various bits and pieces regarding GMs, writers and gofers for the Nationals, including the sign-up sheets (now in my possession).

And thus the meeting was closed as no one had any more competent business. Or even any incompetent business...
