Attention House Paupers members!

It has come to the attention of the CHE Controller that new leadership is needed for House Paupers. Previous Officers have been unable to meet base requirements, as explained in the CHE documentation. In order to continue as a CHE, a minimum of four Officers need to be elected: two members with chairman powers, one member with treasurer powers, and one member with secretary powers. This process must happen, in full, by June 15th. Those interested will please forward your candidacy for the position you'd like to GS4-CHE@PLAY.NET, along with a few paragraphs about why you would be suited for the Officer position applied for, how you would help Paupers remain active in the community, and what the community in GemStone means to you.

If said Officers are supplied and deemed appropriate, they will be invested and held to the minimum Officer requirements of all the Great Houses. Interested players may also review the Officer's Manual for the most updated guidelines by going to https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B5uOpM4VPo2GME91RXY3ZTd5bWs/edit?usp=sharing with further information at http://www.play.net/gs4/info/greathouses/home.asp

If said Officers are not supplied by that date, House Paupers will lose its charter and be dissolved as a CHE. Those members of House Paupers will have their lockers moved automatically to the general locker annexes of their towns, and will have the ability to join any other CHE immediately, should they wish.

As a player and a member of this House I would be upset to see it go.

If there are any folk who are wondering what the requirements and perks of those listed positions that are open, I would be happy to share my experience as a current Chairman and holder of all these positions at one time or another as an Officer of Twilight Hall.

<<<<As a one time officer of Sylvanfair as well as having a character that is an 18 year veteran of Paupers, I am volunteering to step into any roll necessary to keep the House afloat. My Pauper's character is not my main but I play about 8 hours a day so I can, without question, find time daily to play her for the good of the House.>>>

I can vouch for Kristen. I was chairperson (chatelaine) of Sylvanfair while she was an officer. Kristen knows the ropes and would be an asset to any house's leadership. Highly recommended.

Best of luck Paupers. I've no doubt you'll pull together and get through this.

Looks like a good group is starting to form. Twilight was having its meeting when the news came out and we were all shocked. If the new officers need any help we are there for you.

~Treasurer Allereli

I only returned about three weeks ago from a lengthy hiatus. I'm glad you have things well in hand then.

Thanks for taking an interest in Paupers.

I was notified of the situation when everyone else was so am heartened to see someone stepping up. As of 5/4 I made arrangements to invest at least one new officer so the position of Chairman may not be available. However, there are a minimum of 4 officers needed to save the Charter.

With luck and work this amazing House will continue despite the unprecedented actions underlying the current circumstances.

I deeply regret that noone stepped up a month ago (or the many months prior) when the information regarding Officer openings and the acceptance of applications was announced.

Respectfully, things at Paupers are already in ship shape and the 4th Annual Spring Fling as well as the Illistim annex are set to proceed as scheduled.

Kynseiyn!

Given the current status of the house and the short time frame for resolving I would suggest having the chairman candidate, and anyone else interested in applying, follow the posted process.

>> This is odd... I know of several people (myself included) who requested an application and did not hear back.

Myself included. I assumed the positions had been filled, up until seeing Scrimge's post.

Thank you for your interest, I received your inquiry email from yesterday, but as you're likely aware, I was removed from office before I could respond. As one of the three requests for an application received in the last month I sincerely thank you for stepping up to help.

Best of luck to you with your application.

As the last Chairman of Paupers of the Ice Age, I add my voice to the hopes that interested parties can turn this around. I know the challenge that Great Houses -- built in an era with far more players, far more concentrated a population and far fewer alternatives -- have in this day and age to simply survive, never mind continue to make an impact.

It's not that I don't understand what you're saying. It's that I don't AGREE with what you're saying.

I want to thank those who have posted in support of House Paupers. It is very nice to see the spirit of camaraderie and community as that has always been what I love most about the CHE.

I wanted to share some positive news that I have already received a number of solid applications. However, if you are one who would still wish to apply, please do not hesitate to do so by following my prior instructions. It is not too late to be considered, and the stronger the applicant pool, the better off Paupers will be in the long term.

For those who have applied, I will try to be in contact in the coming days to discuss your application in more detail and to answer any of your questions.

I would like to introduce Paupers' new Officer group. I believe this group offers a good balance of experience and fresh faces to bring new and exciting ideas to Paupers, along with stability.

Congratulations to:

Warden Whirlin
Bartender Thondalar
Chatelaine Traiva
Paymaster Tolwynn
Enforcer Riros
Chronicler Niamhe

Please try to be patient with them as they get organized and adjust to their new roles.

I wish to thank the others who applied for candidacy, and for the outpouring of support for Paupers. It is your contributions within Elanthia that keeps the community of Gemstone and the CHE thriving after 21 years.

I'm looking very forward to working with the other new Officers, even if I'm not exactly new myself. I'm very glad that things have sorted so that I can come back to Paupers now, giving the members the time and attention they deserve.

As Scrimge said, please be patient with us for a bit while we get sorted and organized. We know that inductions are sorely lacking, and that seems to be the first priority on everyone's list.. so stay tuned!

~the Muse behind Traiva Verethundi, Chatelaine for the House of Paupers

Congrats all. Looking forward to the future with our house! Once you get situated and organized (or at least get the larder properly stocked) let me know how I might be able to assist as well.

Looking forward to working with Whirlin, Traiva, Tolwynn, Riros, and Niamhe to get House Paupers back on track. The support we've received from the other Houses and players in general is amazing. For myself, and on behalf of the other newly-appointed officers, I thank you all.

-Bartender Thondalar

Excellent news! Thank you all for making the effort and dedicating yourselves to this house. I would have loved to applied and been an officer, unfortunately my work schedule would make it impossible. :/

Thanks again, and to you as well Scrimge.

This isn't normal!
What do you mean this isn't normal!?!
This is way worse!!
