Welcome to House 4

[Markanite]

Hi all, welcome to House 4.

This House has been formed from the Houses of The Tasmanian Islands and Aersoldorf!

As we begin to navigate the new Houses, there a few things we need to get started.

Firstly, your house needs a name! Once you agree on the name, I'll update the masking and the boards.

Next you'll need to appoint a House Steward, this Steward will lead the House and be responsible for it's upkeep. Basically, the House system now will be less regimented than before. Houses are completely autonomous, they decide their own branding, images, logos and name. This includes how they operate.

Each member will be masked with the House name, new members to the forum will be randomly assigned a House and linked to the house board upon completing registration. If anyone wants to join a specific house, they may, just let me know!

If you've any questions, please let me know!

Greetings everyone! I’m happy to see us all under one brand new figurative roof! In addition to the matters Mark mentioned above, there is another issue I’d like to discuss with you all. Before the House Reform, I was the Steward for House Tas, and as such, I had the responsibility of managing House Tas’s investment account: HTI Foundation.

This post summarizes the general purposes of the HTI Foundation:

Hey Everyone,

I had to register the new Foundation as a business (per regional law) and figured it was worthwhile to lay out some operating parameters. This is what I came up with. We can make adjustments if we need to but I think this covers the bases. Let me know your thoughts.

THX


HTI Foundation

1. Providing a regular monthly dividend and ROI for members of the House of Tasmanian Islands.
2. Monthly dividends will be disbursed evenly among all current House members, regardless of any investment they may or may not make into the Foundation (although personal contribution from members is encouraged and any such personal donation will be invested on behalf of all House members).
3. New House members will not receive a share of monthly dividends until their third month of membership in the House.
4. Members departing the House will receive an equal portion of the monthly dividend for one final month after their leaving, but will have no claim to any of the holdings of the Foundation, nor to any monies they may have invested during their membership in the House.
5. In the event of the dissolution of the House or the HTI Foundation, any assets that can by liquefied, will be, and all current members of the House (having been in membership for at least 2 months) will receive an equal share of any liquid assets at the time of dissolution.

The initial investment of the Foundation into the region will be roughly 1.2 Million Tacos. The foundation will make periodic donations to Taco Island Charities at amounts approved by all members.

Further requests or comments: The above Foundation parameters are subject to change as determined by House members.

I realize that THX’s 5th point would call for the dissolution of the Foundation, but since House Tas hasn’t exactly disappeared, I wanted to get everyone’s input on this before taking action. It seems a shame to dissolve the Foundation when it could continue to benefit the newly formed House 4. House Tas, instead of dissolving per THX’s diction, has merged with the House of Aersoldorf. Once could argue that the HTI Foundation is now the property of the newly formed “House 4” and can thus be handled as everyone here sees fit. We can rename it, revamp it, or dissolve it per the guidelines set forth by THX, in which case the funds in the account would be divided among all nations who were members of House Tas at the time of the House Reform. Pending a consensus on what to do with the account, the funds in the Foundation will remain untouched, and I will continue holding the login information for the account.

Thank you for taking the time to read this! And once again, welcome to House 4!

Hello House 4, I had an idea for house names. Each of the 4 houses could be named after things from the beach. The house name ideas I had were the Sand House, Water House, Coconut House, and Palm House.

Let me know if you like my idea!

Do I still get to be the house bartender? In Aerso's house I was the house bartender.

I’m okay with that. Any chance you have an opening for an assistant bartender? I’m quite good at mixing drinks. Just ask the satisfied patrons of the Taco Island Restaurant and Bar!

Awesome! I’m sure everyone in our House will be glad to have twice the number of bartenders! I don’t drink alcohol IRL, so I’m just going to say chocolate milk, specifically the kind made with Hershey’s syrup. What about you? Any favorite drinks?

I'm not so sure about that, some say Liberdon is quite handy with poisonous ingredients...

I love a rum and coke usually. Or a burning orchard, which hard cider and cinnamon whiskey. Both simple and sweet, like a chocolate milk in that way.

For a house name, perhaps a combo of Aersoldorf and Tasmanian Islands. Some specifics below.

House of Tasdorf

House of Aermanian

House of Dorfian

House of Tasoldorf

[Liberdon]

I don’t know why, but Tasdorf is very appealing. It just seems fun to say lol.

[SweetHaven]

indeed. My favs are that and the longer version Tasoldorf.

I agree 

[Markanite]

I've updated your house list with the (hopefully) correct list of members, taking out CTE'd nations.

[Aersoldorf]

Volunteers for steward?

That’s good too! Adds a bit more flair to the name and sort of distances it a little bit more from the founding Houses—helping House 4 come into its own.

[Aersoldorf]

Just sounded like something from a fantasy novel

[Markanite]

Welcome justoliveras to House 4!

[SweetHaven]

Hi justoliveras

[SweetHaven]

We have roughly two weeks to submit a name to Mark

so a poll? RNG? random name generator?

[Liberdon]

We could have a poll with all the suggested names.

[Markanite]

Thats what House 3 did and it seemed to work quite well!

[Palman]

AH! I forgot to bookmark, I'm back, I'm back!

I like Dorfian Islands too. It's like yeah, "This is the 10k Islands. Those islands over there are the Dorfian Islands, and over here...."
