- Previous LARP events where we collabed with pro LARPers have had very muddy organisation and leadership - Our options are to either cut off external bodies or be very serious business with them - Both summer LARPs we have run without pro LARPers have been a large strain on committees, both times Unisfa has had to step back or pull out - The smaller summer LARP unigames after unisfa pulled out a few months ago was a nice success - Winter larp was a small success previously but it is questionable comboing out of camp - Taylor advocates of option 2: serious business collab with pro LARP - The approach of "Unigames goes" to an existing big larp has a large barrier to entry - Could we try to figure out some kind of sweet deal for pricing if we bring a big crowd? - Taylor proposes her vision: - Hire a pro LARP organisation - They run a one- or half-day event on the UWA campus and are officially running it - We are provide bureaucratic powers and member base - We have to share the profits, they need to get paid - It would also have to fit around the timeline of when they are running games - Shattered World is happening in May this year - If we wanna do a Unigames Goes then we need to advertise soooon >Emerald: Start drafting an email to send to LARP groups to see if they want to collab >Emerald: Ask Unisfa and panto how they feel about larpy activities (unigames goes VS hiring a troupe) - Jackie eats a sticky note and leaves the room in disgrace ### Events: ### Past Events: ##### Halloween 2019 - All bills are paid - Only remaining item is liquidation of assets by unisfa - Taylor is not happy with how this has unfolded - Proposal to sit down with halloween subcommittee and go through the finance all over again to make sure that everyone gets the correct amount of money - ~ ~ ~ FOR ALL INTERCLUB EVENTS PLEASE READ THE REGULATIONS AND PAY THE BILLS IN ADVANCE ~ ~ ~ >Taylor, Jackie: Exact your wrath upon halloween ##### Uncharity Vigil 2020 - We finally got the money from UCC that we were owed for pizza + door ##### Prosh Olympics [10/3, Tue W3]: - Didn't fire - Not enough people, too hot #### Artemis Lan [14/3, Sat W3]: - It's this saturday! 1pm! - We'll be using the clubroom - let the gatekeepers know they can't run campaigns - Dress up like star trek if you're a nerd (legally distinct from star trek) >Autumn: Warn gatekeepers about the event #### Prosh [18/3, Wed W4]: - We have been emailed asking if we have any accessibility requirements - Everyone please bump this in the clubroom - Ash is our only marshal - unisfa has not informed us that they will have a marshal >Ash: Inquire about access, remind everyone to bring their student cards #### Charity Vigil [11/4, Sat W6]: - Kyle is definitely a rep - Autumn volunteers to be rep - We will get in contact with the other clubs and form a subcommittee >Autumn, Kyle: Form a subcommittee with the other clubs >Autumn, Kyle: Email guild volunteering and What The Buck to ask for assistance in researching charities #### Swancon [-]: - Cancelled due to the pandemic :/ - swancon would like to do online activities to make up for it - Laura Hodge has reached out to us and is interested in options for tabletop gaming in a nonphysical format - Swancon normally serves utility as a board games recon session, informing what is good and popular ahead of book buys.
