1) Each general body member present at elections (or voting absentee) will receive a ballot with the names of all candidates running for a given officer position listed.<br />
<br />
2) Members will rank candidates for each position. They may rank as many or as few candidates as they would like until they have no confidence in a candidate.<br />
<br />
3) Positions will be decided by counting votes and eliminating the candidate with the fewest number of votes, until a single candidate remains. That candidate is the winner of that position.<br />
<br />
4) In the event of a tie between the candidates receiving the fewest number of votes, the proctors will eliminate one candidate by random process.<br />
<br />
5) Each time a candidate is eliminated as the result of 3) and/or 4), the votes for that candidate will be redistributed according to the next candidate ranked on each ballot, until no further candidates are ranked, at which point the ballot will be considered an abstention.<br />
<br />
6) Officers elected to a position will be removed from the running for the following positions up for election.<br />
<br />
The winner shall be announced by the election proctors. At least three of the election proctors shall sign a document in triplicate containing the names of the new executive board. Vote totals shall not be announced. The ballots shall be destroyed upon completion of the elections.<br />

Expulsion), they must inform a representative from Student Activities of<br />

extended.<br />
<br />

first meeting, decide by majority vote to uphold or end the<br />
Suspension.<br />
<br />
B) May set objectives for the suspended party during the term of<br />
their Suspension. The Executive Board will define these objectives<br />
in discussion with the accused party and a representative from<br />
Student Activities. Completion of these objectives will end the<br />
suspension as specified in Section 4.c.3.<br />
<br />
C) Must provide written notice to the suspended party of the<br />
duration of the suspension, any objectives set for the suspension,<br />
and the procedures given in Sections 4.c.3, 4.c.4, and 4.c.5.<br />

3) The Executive Board may end a Suspension at any time by majority<br />
vote. If the Board determines that the suspended party has accomplished<br />
the objectives set forward in Section 4.c.2.B, the Board must<br />
immediately end the Suspension.<br />
<br />
4) A party whose Suspension has ended will be placed on probation. The<br />
Executive Board must meet to define the terms of the probation, as<br />
defined in Section 4.b.<br />
<br />
5) If a Suspension is violated, the Executive Board may modify the<br />
Suspension or immediately move to expel the suspended party.<br />
<br />
===d. Expulsion===<br />
For heinous offenses, the Board may move to expel the accused<br />
party from the organization. To issue an expulsion:<br />
<br />
1) The Board must hold a meeting with a representative of Student<br />
Activities to discuss the motion to expel. All non-withdrawn officers<br />
must attend, and a written statement that the meeting was held must be<br />
signed by all present, including the representative of Student<br />
Activities.<br />
<br />
2) After this meeting is held, any non-withdrawn officers may recuse<br />
themselves from voting on the motion. If quorum of the Board cannot be<br />
obtained with the remaining officers, the motion cannot proceed.<br />
<br />
3) The Board will then vote on the motion to expel. No officer may<br />
abstain. If there are two (2) or more “no” votes, the motion fails.<br />
Otherwise, it passes and the expulsion goes into effect.<br />
<br />
The Executive Board must immediately provide written notice of the<br />
expulsion to the expelled party. Once the Board has informed the expelled<br />
party, it must not discuss the expulsion with the general body until<br />
twenty-four (24) hours have passed. Within one (1) week of the expulsion,<br />
the Board must send a mailing to the body stating that an expulsion has<br />
occurred. The Board must disclose the identity of the expelled party to any<br />
member who asks, but may choose not to announce it to the general body. The<br />
Board must present the written confirmation from Student Activities to any<br />
member, or to the expelled party, upon request.<br />
<br />
==Section 5. Appeals of Probation or Suspension==<br />
Any party against whom the<br />
Executive Board has issued a Probation or Suspension may appeal the decision of<br />
the Board within thirty (30) days of the Board issuing the disciplinary action.<br />
The affected party must present their appeal to the Executive Board in writing.<br />
Between 7 and 10 days after receiving the appeal, the Board must begin the<br />
appeals process, as defined in Section 5.b or Section 5.c.<br />
<br />
a. With their appeal, the affected party must request either for the appeal<br />
to be mediated by Student Activities or voted on by the general body. The<br />
accuser, or any person who has been adversely affected by actions related<br />
to the complaint, may also make such a request. If not all such requests<br />
are in agreement, the appeal will be mediated by Student Activities.<br />
<br />
b. If the appeal is to be mediated by Student Activities, the affected<br />
party will meet, as defined in Section 3.a, with a representative from<br />
Student Activities and two (2) officers, to resolve the appeal.<br />
<br />
c. If the appeal is to be voted on by the general body, the Recording<br />
Secretary will mail notice of the appeal to the membership. The Board will<br />
then present the matter to the voting membership at the first Regular<br />
Meeting at least six (6) days after the mailing. An affirmative two-thirds<br />
(2/3) vote will be required to sustain the actions of the Board.<br />
<br />
d. Any given decision of the Board can only be appealed once.<br />
<br />
==Section 6. Reinstatement after Expulsion==<br />
Any person who has been expelled may<br />
apply to have their expulsion be repealed.<br />
<br />
a. This application must be sent in writing to the Board. Within one week,<br />
the Board. Within one week, the Board will vote to approve the application.<br />
The application can only be approved by a unanimous vote. If the Board<br />
approves the application, the Recording Secretary will mail notice of the<br />
application to the membership within twenty-four (24) hours of the Board’s<br />
decision. If the Board rejects the application, they will send written<br />
notice of this decision to the applicant within twenty-four (24) hours.<br />
<br />
b. The Board will then present the matter to the voting membership at the<br />
first Regular Meeting at least six (6) days after the mailing.<br />
<br />
c. If the expelled party so desires, they may submit a written defense<br />
which a representative of the Executive Board will read to the general body<br />
during the discussion prior to the vote. This defense is not required for<br />
the vote to commence.<br />
<br />
d. An affirmative two-thirds (2/3) vote will be required to repeal the<br />
expulsion.<br />
<br />
==Section 7. Extenuating Circumstances==<br />
If the procedures in this Article are not<br />
appropriate or have ceased to be sufficient for a given complaint, the<br />

Second Vice President, 2012-2013:<br />
<br />
Tim Broman was not born; Tim Broman sprang fully formed out of the head of I0XX9, a robot with strong AI secretly produced in Area 51. Armed with biological components, a complete knowledge of human trivia, and a hat folded from used crossword puzzles, Tim left to study how humans worked. After a dubious incident involving fire and party hats, Tim decided that the human conception of fun was reckless and dangerous. Tim undertook a cleansing of his brain to purge anything related to fun in order to protect himself from future incidents. Since that time, Tim has fairly successfully passed as a human, dodging a few inquiries into his lack of amusing pursuits. Tim can recite all of Robert's Rules of Order backwards and forwards, but never does so in full in fear of breaking his cover.<br />

President, 2013-2014:<br />
<br />
Our President, Timothy Broman, was first discovered after the vicious Eighteenth SocioBattle of Canticus Nine against the Troll Horde. He was found floating about the ruins with nothing but the clothes on his back and the Sentient Sword of Sound Judgement, a family heirloom capable of defeating the sharpest of wits with centuries-old, well-honed arguments. The scavenger priests who found him saw a greatness in him that had not been sensed in millennia; his training began immediately. After many long, harsh years of discipline and seasoning, Broman emerged a Warrior of Wordplay. His time on Earth is simply the next stage of his training; his graduation from Carnegie Mellon University will herald the final battle between Broman and the Troll Horde, bringing the dawn of a new era of peace and prosperity for the entire galactic sector. Until then, he leads our meetings with verve and vigor.<br />

Some say he was raised among the Dwarves of Middle Earth; others say he learned to ply his trade with the help of the goblins of The Undermine. While the past is muddled by conflicting accounts and unconfirmed hearsay, when they see him at his work no one can deny his magical ability.

Regardless of what is fact and what is legend, it is known that Dillon the Tinkerer will continue to build fantastic things out of scrap until the world is free from disorder and chaos. Naturally, the KGB is opposed to such a development. We have therefore confined Dillon to accounting for the KGB’s monies and incomes. We are confident that this is a task that even he may not be able to accomplish. On an unrelated note, he has not yet supplied the KGB with its Doomsday machine; we have been told that he is “working on it now will you please stop bothering me”.<br />

<br />
From Legend of Zelda as opposed to Zorro. A sea dweller and oft giver of quests.<br />
<br />
Recording Secretary, 2013-2014:<br />
<br />
Zora Gilbert, Master of Words and Creator of Prose, was a fictional character in a cartoon television pilot on Channel A. The pilot was an epic tale; gunslingers and poets battled for supremacy in a heart wrenching, action packed, nail biting coming of age story. Tragically, due to budget cuts the TV station was closed and the show was cancelled. The show was soon forgotten by all but a single person. An eccentric tumblr denizen, anguished by the sudden cancellation, began to write a self-insert fanfic about the show in a sorry attempt to fill the void left by the show’s departure. By an extraordinary stroke of luck, one of Jram’s puns backfired violently at the moment of the fanfics publication, creating a portal between reality and imagination. Through this one remaining link to our universe Zora was transported through space and imagination from the world of fanfic to ours by the Power of Puns. While Zora retained the powers and fantastic hair color bestowed by the show’s creators, the ability to control them was lost. After the initial shock, the KGB realized that the only way to keep Zora from becoming president and spreading the battle-ready mindset of the Poetslingers was to keep their mind busy on typing our ridiculous puns and references. It is our solemn duty to keep them busy. Should we not, their beautifully formed persuasive prose could bring the nations of the world to their knees.<br />

<div>Currently known as "Mike", she has been known to spin paper into people, with terrifying results.<br />
<br />
Sergeant at Arms, 2013-2014:<br />
<br />
Mike was an adventurous time travel without a backup plan: one ticket there, no ticket back. After wandering the darkest caves and deepest trenches the world could offer, Mike began the long quest of befriending the creatures that lived there. Years passed before Mike emerged followed by a legion of deep dwellers; the army began its march with a fierce determination to take over the world. It should be noted that this was not because of some grand villainous quest, rather because hey, what the hell else are you supposed to do with a legion? Dubbed The Wooflord, Mike, riding on the back of a gargantuan wolf turtle, led the minion horde to a long-lost portal. For some time after that, they traveled the time stream, failing to conquer much of anything. That’s when Mike discovered the field of physics and the immense power it could bestow upon they who could reveal its secrets. Now bent on universal domination, Mike launched into the new quest of becoming a PhD and discovering Faster Than Light travel. In the meantime, Mike uses her nanosized minions to keep order in the KGB. No, of course the minions aren’t watching you. Move along citizen.<br />

Second Vice President, 2013-2014:<br />
<br />
John Retterer-Moore is the eighth in a long dynasty of gourmet chefs; as heir to his family’s legacy, he was of course expected to experiment in his field, but well within the realms of propriety. John had grander schemes. One fateful evening under a bright quarter moon, John was practicing his craft in a cavernous empty kitchen when, on a lark, he made a joke about the pudding he was making. The pudding sparked and sputtered; it was transformed before his eyes into a dish more decadent and appetizing than any he had concocted. He cautiously took a bite; it was a dish of the angels. Dubbing his newfound skill Pun Magic and taking the magician’s name JRAM, he went on to create outlandish foodstuffs that had never before touched the lips of any mortal. He spends his days trying out Pun Spells on other common subjects; for every pun that elicits more supernatural effect than groans from the audience, he adds another feather to his cap.<br />

<br />
Recording Secretary, 2013-2014:<br />
<br />
Zora Gilbert, Master of Words and Creator of Prose, was a fictional character in a cartoon television pilot on Channel A. The pilot was an epic tale; gunslingers and poets battled for supremacy in a heart wrenching, action packed, nail biting coming of age story. Tragically, due to budget cuts the TV station was closed and the show was cancelled. The show was soon forgotten by all but a single person. An eccentric tumblr denizen, anguished by the sudden cancellation, began to write a self-insert fanfic about the show in a sorry attempt to fill the void left by the show’s departure. By an extraordinary stroke of luck, one of Jram’s puns backfired violently at the moment of the fanfics publication, creating a portal between reality and imagination. Through this one remaining link to our universe Zora was transported through space and imagination from the world of fanfic to ours by the Power of Puns. While Zora retained the powers and fantastic hair color bestowed by the show’s creators, the ability to control them was lost. After the initial shock, the KGB realized that the only way to keep Zora from becoming president and spreading the battle-ready mindset of the Poetslingers was to keep their mind busy on typing our ridiculous puns and references. It is our solemn duty to keep them busy. Should we not, their beautifully formed persuasive prose could bring the nations of the world to their knees.<br />

<br />
Sergent at Arms, 2012-2013:<br />
<br />
The Abraham family is one of quite talented tinkers. Several decades ago they found an abandoned zepplin and retrofited it. Back in the air, it is now their travelling home. Marlena was born in the air, with her first impressions of land being short visits her familly took so they could repair interesting old items in the vicinity. As a young girl, Marlena took an interest in pocketwatches. She adjusted the speed of several watches slightly so that hung around her room they produced a calming rhythm, and confused her family by reporting widly varying times. However, as marlena got older she developed an interest in hats. This was frowned upon by her family, for hats have no moving parts and thus are not proper objects of study for young tinkers. Eventually tired of the conflict, Marlena left the ship to join the thriving hat-sharing culture on Carnegie Mellon's campus.<br />

<br />
Marlena Abraham’s origins are unknown; it’s whispered that she was stranded as a child somewhere out in the ruined asteroid belt colonies ringing Alpha Trianguli. The rumors all seem to agree that she was young when she began her lifelong trade of bricolage. All we know for sure is that her post-apocalyptic upbringing makes her scavenge after shiny things like a ferret after socks; folks used to tell one another that if you value your knick-knacks and bric a brac, keep it close. If you don’t keep an eye on it, Marlena will get it and it’ll turn up in an art piece in a couple months. However, since discovering the enormous wealth of knowledge that modern civilization enjoys through the Internet, she has been steadily transferring her trade from physical to digital, leaving your knick knacks safe. She seems to hope that through information intake and careful observance of trends that she will be able to gather more shiny things for her art pieces than ever before. Marlena will lend her skills to those who ask nicely or for a fair barter of baked goods. She will probably settle for chocolate if baked goods are unavailable.<br />

Second Vice President, 2012-2013:<br />
<br />
Tim Broman was not born; Tim Broman sprang fully formed out of the head of I0XX9, a robot with strong AI secretly produced in Area 51. Armed with biological components, a complete knowledge of human trivia, and a hat folded from used crossword puzzles, Tim left to study how humans worked. After a dubious incident involving fire and party hats, Tim decided that the human conception of fun was reckless and dangerous. Tim undertook a cleansing of his brain to purge anything related to fun in order to protect himself from future incidents. Since that time, Tim has fairly successfully passed as a human, dodging a few inquiries into his lack of amusing pursuits. Tim can recite all of Robert's Rules of Order backwards and forwards, but never does so in full in fear of breaking his cover.<br />

President, 2013-2014:<br />
<br />
Our President, Timothy Broman, was first discovered after the vicious Eighteenth SocioBattle of Canticus Nine against the Troll Horde. He was found floating about the ruins with nothing but the clothes on his back and the Sentient Sword of Sound Judgement, a family heirloom capable of defeating the sharpest of wits with centuries-old, well-honed arguments. The scavenger priests who found him saw a greatness in him that had not been sensed in millennia; his training began immediately. After many long, harsh years of discipline and seasoning, Broman emerged a Warrior of Wordplay. His time on Earth is simply the next stage of his training; his graduation from Carnegie Mellon University will herald the final battle between Broman and the Troll Horde, bringing the dawn of a new era of peace and prosperity for the entire galactic sector. Until then, he leads our meetings with verve and vigor.<br />

<div>[[Booth]] is the process of constructing a wooden scaffolding for holding [[spackle]] and [[caulk]]. Organizations can Win Booth by having the most uniformly-spackled wooden structures on [[Midway]].<br />
<br />
It is very important to ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING when spackling a booth. If you simply give a bucket of spackle to [[Creidieki]], and tell him "figure out what to do with this", you will not Win Booth. Particularly if he then enlists all of the freshmen.<br />
<br />
Anyway, after you [[spackle]] something, you wait for it to dry, and then you sand over it, and then you paint it. Casual afterthought is then used to construct a [[roofs|roof]] and cover it in tar paper. Roof construction is oft-considered the best time of year to identify which KGB members are [[load bearing]].<br />
<br />
All of this might be fun, if it didn't cost more than [[KGB]] has spent on anything else, ever. That small detail <i>guarantees</i> fun.<br />

Notable features:<br><br />
<br />
*Electrical was finished by Sunday<br><br />
*A sloped roof <br><br />
*Game which involved throwing golf balls into holes in a table to produce musical notes. There was an easy mode (Smoke On the Water) and hard mode (<s>Fallen Angel by Poison</s> no fucking clue)<br><br />
*An "outdoor" area where one of the walls of the room was left to the open air, included a fire escape, bike rack with shitty bike, and a chain link fence<br><br />

This work of brilliance took the classic story of Rumplestiltskin and added funk music to it to fit the theme of Fractured Fairytales. Unused ideas included The Frog Prince of Bel Air <s>and Baba Yaga's Smut</s>. It took second place in the independent category. <br />
<br />
Notable features:<br><br />
<br />
*Electrical was finished by Sunday<br><br />
*A sloped roof <br><br />
*Game which involved throwing golf balls into holes in a table to produce musical notes. There was an easy mode (Smoke On the Water) and hard mode (<s>Fallen Angel by Poison</s> no fucking clue)<br><br />
*An "outdoor" area where one of the walls of the room was left to the open air, included a fire escape, bike rack with shitty bike, and a chain link fence<br><br />

<hr />
<div>[[Booth]] is the process of constructing a wooden scaffolding for holding [[spackle]] and [[caulk]]. Organizations can Win Booth by having the most uniformly-spackled wooden structures on [[Midway]].<br />
<br />
It is very important to ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING when spackling a booth. If you simply give a bucket of spackle to [[Creidieki]], and tell him "figure out what to do with this", you will not Win Booth. Particularly if he then enlists all of the freshmen.<br />
<br />
Anyway, after you [[spackle]] something, you wait for it to dry, and then you sand over it, and then you paint it. Casual afterthought is then used to construct a [[roofs|roof]] and cover it in tar paper. Roof construction is oft-considered the best time of year to identify which KGB members are [[load bearing]].<br />
<br />
All of this might be fun, if it didn't cost more than [[KGB]] has spent on anything else, ever. That small detail <i>guarantees</i> fun.<br />

<hr />
<div>* Jboning opens by explaining that the UPA provoked more uncomfortableness and exec wants the body's input on what we should do about it<br />
* Glisson says that the KGB seems to have a good track record of listening to exec and a recommendation about moderation may be enough to keep problems limited<br />
* Paul agrees with Glisson and says that last semester was an anomaly; the problem would be solved with a recommendation<br />
* Kelly points out that the stripping aspect of the event was heavily emphasized before this event and that may have caused some problems<br />
* Afalk says that if people are uncomfortable with it, it should be banned outright<br />
* Lincoln says that it was originally a joke and was not as sexual; encourages that is okay but the sexual aspect should be limited (and that it should be clear that people don't have to remove clothing in any way)<br />
* Mcginnis says that we should keep stripping limited to what is appropriate in 100% public<br />
* Drew asks what kind of reputation stripping at UPA gives the KGB in the public eyes; this is the one event that could be viewed in a negative light (as opposed to CTFWS, puzzlehunt) and we should remember the image that campus will take away from it<br />
* Naomi says there are some other events we have that might be offensive and they don't attend (like bitterness party) and we shouldn't get rid of events on those grounds; also, the negative backlash was from people who were already expecting some removal of clothing but were offended by the explicit sexual content of the auction - says that the pressure to strip is not too strong<br />
* Tim Broman says that stripping brings in money and income would be affected - Scorri weighs in that the majority of income would not be affected; also this is not a financial decision; he noted that he (as a freshmen) was not surprised by the content - ie, that's what he had been led to expect; and that he was offended - thinks a small adjustment is a good plan if it will be sufficient<br />
* Jboning explains the historical perspective of the UPA: it was originally a classy event for geeks without stripping. later it became a more strip-filled event based on social libertarianism<br />
* Glisson says that there is a difference between removal of clothing and the sexual context in which it happened - he personally was not offended but that we can limit it to non-sexual stripping<br />
* Matt points out that we are not the same organization from year to year and maybe we should decide year-to-year based on what the membership wants at that time<br />
* Shelby suggests making a change that would require explicit recognition by all participants that there is sometimes sexual content to the UPA<br />
* Tim rebuts that we should make as many people comfortable, not just limit our liability<br />
* Kelly also rebuts that signing a form won't make her not be offended or make her not leave, and that the issue is that people were offended, not that they didn't know they would be offended<br />
* Shelby points out that there is a valid liability perspective and we should make it clear that people have the right to object<br />
* Dan says that he guesses that nobody was offended by the clothing removal but rather by the sexuality of the removing, and the fact that we're having a meeting proves we need to change something; wants to set up some specific boundary that we should not cross in the UPA<br />
* Eric wants a ballpark figure on how many people were offended; Jboning guesses probably 12 or more<br />
* Paul emphasizes that the important issue is the sexuality not the clothing removal; however he points out that rules-lawyering will inevitably result from any concrete boundary and will probably not solve the problem - a guideline would be better<br />
* Afalk says we can see what people are comfortable with year-to-year; event has to change for the people, not vice versa<br />
* Tim Broman says that in the years past, things have gone okay; we should find a model that fits the current composition of the KGB; likes the black-tie, classy approach to the UPA - says that history is a good guideline for what to do<br />
* Clyde says he wasn't really bothered but that he felt upstaged by stripping people and wants to order people (put strippers at the end)<br />
* Dennis says we should consider the reputation of the KGB especially w.r.t. recruiting<br />
* Ethan wants to move from sexual stripping to non-sexual stripping; consider rule 0 as an example of a good rule that is not explicit but people still follow (try "keep it classy" to create non-sexual situations)<br />
* Caroline encourages us to phrase everything carefully and simply, and knowing that the very fact that this meeting happened will affect the future course of the event; an explicit rule will stifle creativity and play and may well hurt the event<br />
* Xander feels that the KGB is a safe place and that it is a good place to get away from the Hell that is CMU; if people are uncomfortable then that status is in doubt and we should change that by eliminating all stripping for now and ever, because so many people were made uncomfortable<br />
* Naomi is concerned about having a poll every year in that it could potentially mask the problem rather than permenantly solve it, and within a few years explicit sexual content would be permitted in a cycle of approve->problem->disapprove->forget problem->approve->etc.<br />
* Kelly says that the way the auctioneer behaves needs to be different, in that they must stop behavior which is causing a problem rather than encouraging it<br />
* Tim Vaughan says that in general people recognize when they go to far so the solution should lie in the way we frame the event and that "keep it classy" would be a good guideline for fixing the problem, since people would stop themselves or others if they cross that line<br />
* Matt wants to make it very clear - in a positive sense - that it is a classy event and that we should focus on classiness rather than banning things; also exec should always have the ability to stop anything that is going on at any event<br />
* Quuxum says that multiple people other than the auctioneer and exec need to be able to gauge what is going on and have the ability to stop it; also points out that the KGB has shifted from a really sexual libertine organization to more of a geeky/nerdy organization and historical basis may not be appropriate<br />
* Tim Broman says his major concern is with tone; and that the organization's tone has already shifted away from strongly sexual content and towards classiness; we should limit the presence of stripping in the run-up and explanation to the event to what is minimally necessary<br />
* Glisson says that the KGB operates by gut feeling rather than by rules and that's a good thing; we can use "keep it classy" as a good guideline instead of rules<br />
* Eforney points out that this isn't the exec who will be in charge of the next UPA; also trying to come up with concrete guidelines, which are hard:<br />
1) tell styger story after the event and limit presence of stripping in run-up to event<br />
2) have 2 auctioneers instead of 1<br />
3) auctioneer cannot interact with the auctionee at all<br />
* Naomi would like to restrict making out at all at the auction; people will usually not make out beyond a particular line of propriety and wants to ensure that propriety is maintained everywhere<br />
* Drew asks Afalk if she hadn't heard about stripping before the event, would she have stripped; and she responds that she would have had non-stripping sexual content<br />
* Jboning points out concern about pressure on girls to strip<br />
* Dennis wants to de-emphasize stripping before the event<br />
* Scorri points out the possible ramifications of the fact that the UPA is open and staff/faculty could show up and the KGB could get in a *lot* of trouble<br />
* Tim Vaughan says that he was made most uncomfortable by the fact that the KGB was stripping/sexual acts in complete public; also we should not make the auction about the individual but rather about the organization<br />
* Tim Broman says he would like to request a notice from exec to the public about what we decided<br />
* Glisson says, about pressure to strip, that we should emphasize that stripping is not required and that not stripping is as/more profitable<br />
* Quuxum says that the cooking/RPG as a draw for bidding never happened before 2008 or so and we should remember what the organization likes at any given time<br />
* Eric wants scheduling to run non-strippers -> strippers over time, so that nobody who doesn't want to will feel pressured by coming immediately after something<br />
* Naomi likes stripping interspersed and she likes snarling like a sexy werewolf<br />
* Michaela points out that there was someone who permanently left the KGB because of the raunchy content of the UPA<br />
* Matt says we shouldn't cater to random people if they aren't interested in what the KGB wants to do; if we could get in trouble it should go, but otherwise we should find some middle ground instead<br />
* Xander is proud to be a member of the KGB; but if it continues like this he would change his mind about being a member<br />
* Quuxum points out that the entire basis cannot be determined beforehand<br />
* Dan says that as long as guidelines exist, we will be okay, and we don't need to set rock-solid rules<br />
* Eforney says that the consensus seems to be we won't ban stripping but may come up with some guidelines/rules instead<br />
