Hi everyone, as a colleague reminded me without knowing, it's only good and fair you should be able to have your say in the current discussion about whether or...

I would say strongly NO.. We have a hard time ourselves to keep up posting, keep the DS active etc and then accepting another sim. We are already spread very...
We're really not getting the full picture here. They are a preexisting sim, already with a complete, self sustaining crew and some real good writers, set in...
The vote goes up tomorrow. I will be voting "NO." How the other 3 members vote will be revealed at the end of the vote or they can post their position here...
... To inform you all... I have not yet decided how to vote, but I will definitely still do so, because I really want to vote on this important matter. I am...

A few important notes: This is not the Olmsted. Any immediate comparison to past BL DSs is flawed. Bonaventure is a fully operating sim, with a full crew...
Being a fully operation DS is not the issue for me. There are some major difference in how their SIM is run from ours. The interim I spoke of is one in...
The only potential concrete benefit I've seen is that they may have some good writers. As Ken mentioned they use the OOC method, somebody asked how they do...
Councilfolk- Why are we saying how we're gonna vote on the Council list? Anybody who's been reading the e-mails already knows how most of the people who have...
I'm twenty si- oooooh, I see what you did there. I'm actually in favor of moving to a rhyming format, like that one post of theirs was. That'd be great fun! In...
Because this is a larger issue than the council normally deals with and the Phoenix members who don't have access to the Concil forum ought to be aware of...
I believe that when we are discussing an issue of this magnitude we have a responsibility to the DS to offer an opportunity for comment. Many don't keep up...
First off, did I send the "How old are you?" e-mail to just the Phoenix OOC list? It was meant for the Council list. Second off, posting has dropped off...
We seemed to be hitting another hard lul so here's the plan.  Those of you posting with the pirates in space... lets try to wrap that up completely by the...
Oops, I should've forwarded that to Andi rather than hit reply. But while I have you attention, here are some general problems I have with writing in this kind...
... Hi Will, I quite agree with you, I basically had the same problems like you had, at several points, I stopped myself from posting to give other people a ...

Hi. I know I'm one of the slow/non-existent posters and for my part in that I apologize (sincerely). But it's the same issue. I had no idea where this plot was...
I think the easy solution here is to just provide everyone with a basic plot outline. ... Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on...
Dave and Ben welcome back Steve, review the Bonaventure discussion on the council, and talk a little about the upcoming Trek movie. Dave also commends Ben’s...
The vote is in 12 to 11 in favour of them joining Borderlands. Plot ideas for how to introduce this have been batted about, but not discussed fully. They have...
I don't anticipate the crossover involving Phoenix unless there is a sudden outcry from everyone for us to do so. Â Andi ... Clothes make the man. Naked...
Engie,  The Phoenix council members were divided down the middle on the vote. Will and I were opposed, Ben and Ken were in favor. Right now there is...
... I am with Andi on this issue; I don't think Phoenix has the manpower, or rather, the posting power, right now to engage in possibly complicated overall...

I also agree, thus I am offering my services as a guest writer on whichever station does do the initial crossover, to help out there in whatever way possible. ...
Phoenix's stake in the vote was reflective of the overall total, which was 12 to 11. I won't dispute Andi's assessment, we should get our own ducks in a row...
