Open Odd Player Representative Position

Open Odd Player Representative

Hello Kanar members!

Our Odd Player Representative, Christiana Ringbloom, has stepped down from her position on the Board of Directors. We would like to take a moment to thank her for her dedicated volunteer work with KGE.

We will be opening nominations for the Odd Year Player Representative position on Tuesday, September 15th, 2020.

Members wishing to be nominated for the position must meet the following general requirements:

• Currently hold Veteran Membership status with KGE (meaning you've been playing and paying dues for more than two years)

• Not have been released from any position with KGE due to disciplinary action in the last five years.

• Have a working phone number

• Have a working email address and access to email on a daily basis

• Have a valid mailing address

• Have a valid photo identification card recognized by the US government

Nominations for this position will be closed on Friday, October 2nd, 2020.

Voting for this position will be from Saturday, October 3rd until Saturday, October 10th, 2020

Please note that in our bylaws, under Article VI (Elections) section 4.3, nominations are typically opened for 1 month unless a different deadline has been set. The Board of Directors has chosen to allow for nominations to be open for a shorter amount of time so that the newly elected Board Member can be sworn in at the October Board of Directors meeting on October 11th, 2020.

Nominations for the open Board seat can be sent to secretary@kanar.club or the Board as a whole at bod@kanar.club.

Thank you, be safe!
- Aaron, Corporate Secretary

Online August Event Details

Online August Event Details

Hello everyone!

We hope that you will join us for our August event this weekend, August 21st - 23rd. It will take place online using Discord. 

SO! Let's get on with some details about this upcoming event:

When is the event?

• The event will start Friday, August 21st at 5 pm, and will end on Sunday, August 23rd at 5 pm.

How do I get in?

• Here is a link to the Discord server:
• You can purchase tickets for the August event at www.kanar.club/payment. Tickets for this event are our standard event fee of $20.00
• Please note that paying before Friday, August 21st will help speed up the check-in process! If you pay for the event during the event you will be let in as staff becomes available. If you're doing so at 3 am, it will take some time for you to gain access to the event since the staff is probably asleep. Please rest assured that we are all working diligently on this, and we will get to you as quickly as we can. * Due to COVID-19, we are not taking any cash or check payments at this time.

What do I need to do before I can play?

• There are a few things that you should check off your checklist before you can start playing this weekend:
  • Make sure you have filed an ARF this year
  • Make sure you have paid for the August event
  • Make sure that you have no outstanding balance owed to KGE for past events
  • Make sure you have paid your yearly membership dues
• If you have questions about any of these or are unsure if you have an outstanding balance please email the Treasurer at: *treasurer@kanar.club*

How do I get bonus XP?

• Like all of our digital events, we will have ways to earn XP available to all players! You can earn XP by doing the following:
  • Post a camping dessert recipe - 6xp
  • Post a picture of someone else dressed in your kit (pets count!) - 6xp
  • Tell us the story of your favorite encounter, but from the bad guys perspective - 6xp
  • Post a picture of something you made using an in-game crafting skill (like leatherwork, bookbinding, artwork, etc) - 6xp
  • Give us some accolades about another Kanar member! Tell us why they are a positive member of the community. Try not to repeat the same person twice! - 6xp
  • Post a video of you dressed in garb telling your favorite in-game story - 12xp
  • Post a video of you dressed in garb singing your favorite sea shanty - 12xp
• Season Pass Holders will get 30xp
• There will be a room in the Discord channel for you to post your submissions
• This XP will cap at 12 extra XP (for a 30 XP Cap).
• Since Discord doesn't allow for large files to be posted, you may post large files (like videos) to the Kanar Facebook group.

Can I do modules?

• Yes! GM staff will be on and off all weekend and will be working with those that require modules.

Can I teach/learn skills?

• Absolutely! Just make sure that you are role-playing the lessons appropriately.

Will there be combat?

• Yes, you may run into an encounter that requires combat! We will be following the combat rules created by our PM staff.
• You can read the rules of combat here!

Once I'm online, how can I ask staff out of game questions?

• There is an area on Discord you can post your OOG questions.

• You can also tag anyone who has the role of GUARD (they are our Admin staff), and they will happily help you, or direct you to the appropriate staff member!

How late can I purchase a ticket to be considered an "attendee" for sign out purposes?

• You can buy tickets to the event until 4:50 pm on Sunday, August 23rd, and must be verified by Admin Staff before the end of the event. So long as you buy a ticket and log in to the event you will be considered an attendee and can do a sign-out!

Because digital events are new and ever-changing, we've put together a short video tour of what Kanar's digital event set up looks like. I would highly recommend you give this a watch because we have made some significant changes since the last event:

Closed captions automatically generated by youtube.

On that note, we would like to give a huge thanks to our digital and story staff this month: Davvy C., Thomas A. D., Livie G., Steve J., Melissa K., Alicia M., Karigan N., Tashi O., Aaron P., Mel S., Marcus S., and Rowan W.P.

Without them, these digital events wouldn't be possible!

If you have any further questions about the upcoming event you can email any of our staff: www.kanar.club/staff

Thank you all for being a part of this community; please stay safe and healthy, and I look forward to seeing you all on the field again! 

- Aaron Polk, Corporate Secretary

August 2020 BOD Meeting

Hello everyone!

I would like to remind you all that next Sunday, August 16th, we have a Board of Directors meeting on Discord.

I know we just had one last month, but there were some late proposals sent in that people wanted to be addressed, as well as some other business the Board wanted to take care of.

If you have a proposal that you would like to submit, or a subject you want to be broached at the upcoming meeting please email me at secretary@kanar.club, or the entire Board at bod@kanar.club

You can submit proposals and discussion topics until Sunday, August 9th. Anything submitted after that will be considered late, and there is no guarantee it will make it onto the agenda. 

Here is the agenda as it stands, and is subject to change as more proposals get added.

Here is a link to the Discord we will be using to hold this meeting.

Thank you, have a wonderful weekend!

-Aaron
Corporate Secretary
