After I post my intention to do my future projects under some other organisation than SuoLi, if miss ex-president of SuoLi will be voted off from the board on general assembly, did she post her own feelings of the matter as well.
With blaming us to be too negative against her persona, the girl took back her proposal and resigned herself. (Actually we even were not, considering that she was the one throwing J out). God I’m happy things solved themselves before meeting.

(shit meeting the fan is what happens a nanosecond before it hits the fan)
The national larping organisation, Finnish Live-action Roleplayers’ Association, or SuoLi as we call it, had its annual spring meeting last weekend. The meeting turned out to be quite a circus.
As the papers for didn’t arrive early enough, only matter argue, was changing the association rules, by allowing SuoLi to take communities they work with but who don’t do larp exactly, as members. With already having both larp associations and individual human beings, it wouldn’t be that big change.
Except that changing the rules cost 100 euros each time and because Finnish law concerning associations is changing, we should do some other changes to our rules as well, probably. So we decided to leave the proposal on autumn meeting. So we didn’t reject it, we just decided to process it later. Besides SuoLi isn’t doing anything right now, so there are no communities to join us. The girl who proposed that we should change our rules believed that changing the rules would bring those, but I personally believe that first the action, then changing the rules if we see it necessary, sounds weird if someone don’t want to co-operate because they can’t be community member of SuoLi.
So the girl who’s in the board and who had made the rulechanging proposal at the first place, didn’t take it that well. At the end of the meeting she first took almost 20 minutes meeting break and the made an announcement that she’d use her right as a member of the association and would suggest J to be separated from the SuoLi board. Because she has forgotten to do one paperthingie to the National Board of Patents and Registration of Finland three years ago and because she’s opposing everything and slowing things down. J is not only the only board member with experience from SuoLi from the previous years, but also the president of SuoLi for three last years and basically only one who’d done anything for it on that time. who was one of us who wanted the processing to delayed on Autumn, It’s something we have to process in the extra meeting in the April.
It takes some guts to be able to suggest that. I personally do believe that she’s just so God damn stupid. And her hair is ugly. And I feel really sorry for J. Even though the propose might fall (I hope it does!), it’s still awful motion of no confidence and way of thanking of the last three years. Even from a one person, as it gets this much attention.
