Usual Suspects ¶
Board Games ¶
Ash: Think about next week's board games night
RPGs ¶
Masks
- One game fired, only Josh attended and he's not here
- Apparently it was a good time and people enjoyed themselves
- Thank you Josh for organising
Our Next RPG Night
- It's going to be exam season in 2 weeks
- We can take a week off
- Maybe delta green
- Apparently there are some big fans and cthulu game went well last time
Magic ¶
- basically no updates
- there's going to be another B&R in a few days
- Confusion across the board about what that stands for
Wargames ¶
- There is a new edition of Warhammer 40k coming out, it's more of an update than an overhaul
- The starter set for the previous edition was $220. Theoretically the rulebook was approximately $20 of that
- So if the trend follows, then the new one will be worth around that
- Kyle will be getting the starter set, so if Unigames wants to buy the book off Kyle, we can
- Committee is keen, we will wait for the set to go up for sale
- Emerald underflows our bank account
Fresher Campaigns ¶
- They exist
- Bumping people into empty slots worked very well
Events: ¶
Halloween 2019: ¶
- Cricket noises
- "If we just wrote that this was next committee's problem..."
Charity UnVigil: ¶
- Kyle has just posted the thank you post for unvigil. Thank you Kyle
- Prize distribution
- Cam has got down to the final 7 people
- There are only walking dead comics left. They're all different though
- Finances
- Last week we established how much money we owed UCC
Autumn: Get the list of Unigames prizes from Cam
Autumn: Talk to Jarcus about finances
Autumn: Make the handover doc
[REDACTED] 2020: Ghost Camp: ¶
- If we end up doing a joint camp, do we still want to do this?
- This is more of a little fun activity
- Shall we put together one, maybe two, activities AND/OR do a set of back-to-back games nights
- Somehow ghost themed?
- End of exams shindig!!
- This event is aiming to be at the end of June, so about a month from now
- Taylor and Alice and Emerald will be the people in charge of this event.
- "Go on, put me in the minutes, let the public know I'm doing the labour"
Taylor, Alice, Emerald: Rhun Gost Camp
Quiz Night ¶
- Apparently UCC has been theorising about how a quiz night might happen
- The staff has been given some instructions about how the uni will be operating
- UWA are not looking to widely open the campus for sem2
- All units are going to be online-enabled
- Students will need to specifically arrange to study in person
- It sounds like we don't want to have students on campus and therefore will be leaning away from in-person events
- We should ask guild
- We will wait a week and see if Guild responds (emphasis on if)
Alistair: Ask guild about reopening/events
Proposed Sharing Camp ¶
- Cam joins as an extra special sparkly guest
- There has been a decent deal of miscommunication between clubs about what the intentions of the clubs were
- Unisfa has intended from the start that this would be a triple-club camp featuring us, them, and UCC
- Unigames was not clear on UCC's involvement so it was surprising to find out last week
- There were also concerns about whether we are aiming to set a precedent for future events for this kind. It is ultimately next committee's problem.
- Members of Unigames committee are keen for this to not replace or clash with our existing annual camp.
- Cam requests clarification about Unigames' typical camp finances as Unisfa is confused by our profits. Taylor explains the numbers and the difference is identified as, different clubs get different turnouts.
- Taylor and Alistair explain that this event cannot replace Unigames camp ongoing.
- So, what is Unisfa's vision for this event?
- This is stemming from Unisfa having a camp booking that has not been invalidated by the shutdown
- Unisfa already has a financial investment (deposit)
- The vision: a full three night camp, with the typical large events you'd expect at a club camp
- The consequences of being a joint camp would be that not every committee member needs to be an organiser and/or commit to a ticket price. Additionally we get an increased potential market
- There is also the factor of UCC providing technical kit and knowhow: UCC could provide wifi at camp with their big antenna.
- Also Ern Halliday totally has reception
- How would the event be structured?
- This would be based around the subcommittee formed of reps from each committee.
- There would be a general itinerary.
- Discussion of equality of distribution of events between clubs' areas of interests.
- How would the finances be divided?
- Would it be split perfectly three ways, or would it be proportional to the number of attendees?
- Cam has no objections to a proportional distribution, under the understanding that Unigames will be getting significantly fewer attendees than our usual camp
- We can't make this decision now, the subcommittee would need to come up with some options and present them to all committees.
- There is a huge amount of overlap between the three clubs' typical camps. Quiz Night, LARP, etc.
- Few of us have been to a UCC camp before, but it will be nice to get every club to have exposure to people who aren't familiar.
- Taylor expresses a concern that we might end up in a position where one club's events do not get as much attention as another's.
- Reiteration that the attendance cap is 50.
- The Unisfa reps will be Merlin, Jack, Corin. Cam is also a keen bean.
- Alistair calls a vote, for all in favour of a joint camp this year with UCC and UniSFA.
- Result in favour 7 - 0 - 1
- Unigames reps will be Alistair, Taylor and Jackie
Room Update: ¶

Guild: ¶
General Business: ¶
Discord ¶
- Our boost has officially run out
- No noticeable change
- We will wait for people to start complaining before we do anything
Book Repair ¶
- "Tested" Galaxy Trucker this week, the box worked
- Taylor won
- But we all beat space
- Mostly just glueing boxes and setting the on Emerald's bedroom floor
Emerald: Keep doing book repair. Watch glue dry
Webkeeping ¶
- The fresher mailing list is apparently operational!
Alice: Send an email about fresher campaigns
- Has there an update about the website?
- Everyone is in assignment crunch
- Gozz works so hard
Taylor: Website witchcraft
Room Reopen ¶
- As mentioned in Quiz section, the uni is not looking to fully open in sem 2.
- Autumn: If guild were allow us to reopen now, I would be firmly against it
- Taylor: The state has been pretty clear for the past two weeks. There is no loose virus floating about
- If we opened we would definitely need to put heavy restrictions on. Possibly hours, headcount.
- We shouldn't encourage people to come and vibe for extended periods of time. Don't encourage people to come to campus unnecessarily.
- We should consider a method for quarantining returned items.
- Could we use a rotating three-field system to make sure items get their proper three days quarantine without infecting each other?
- It would be easier to only have the library open/closed every three days.
Splat Buys ¶
- Autumn proposes a splat buy of "Fire on the Velvet Horizon"
- It's a monster manual without a specific system
Autumn: Research splat buy
Meeting closed: 6:35pm ¶
