Meeting LXXXIII, 15 February 2025, The Parthenon

ITEM ICON TITLE TYPE DESCRIPTION OUTCOME
1 USUV Election Icon.png Chair/Vice-Chair Elections Majority Vote - USUV Members only The only nominees are Blurple and Reno for Chair/VC.

A confirmation vote will be held due to nobody else running. It was mentioned that the past few chairs only ran to keep the USUV alive, as the group has been dying since Beeper's ban and Mattesco's departure.

The candidates were voted in by a successful confirmation vote;

4/0/1 Pass

2 USUV Building Icon.png Rotating Chair System Discussion Beeper proposes a rotating chair system for when no chairs/vc are available during a specific period, maybe even replacing the chair seat entirely

The main idea of this proposal is to temporarily fill an empty chair seat with a rotating speaker if/when nobody is running for chair.

Beeper is not present for the meeting, but a discussion about how to automate the chair's job takes place, specifically in the cases of agenda creation and scheduling. You can't completely replace the chair's job with a webpage, but a lot of the more annoying stuff like creating agendas or picking meeting locations.

3 USUV Flag Icon.png Highways & Community Projects Debate The project previously called Spawn Surface Rail now has an official name and forum post; RealScaleRail

The curve between Spawn and Borealis stations are fully planned out now, as well as tunnels heading towards The Pearl and Freedom City being fully planned out and executed. Any help with materials, planning, mapping, or general building is appreciated.

For Roadways:

  • Only a bridge into Malus is needed to finish that section of the system
  • The Sosong tunnel is still in progress, a connection to AEopa should be coming in the following weeks

The Borealis Council is temporarily shut down while Staff rework internally

STARS declared war on Freedom City during this item, seemingly joking.

N/A
5 USUV Flag Icon.png Member State Promotion and Updates Discussion

Banal-Witchita declares sanctions on STARS for attempting to incite violence within the USUV. The issue is deemed a joke and dropped.

No other business was discussed during this item.

N/A
6 USUV Events Icon.png Events Discussion

Beeper is calling for help with the Olympic League, citing motivation and business. The main issue is narrowing down the games list, making sure they all work and are able to be used. Reno suggests both a global vote in the thread and a review process from one of her friends.

The Auction is postponed due to low player turnout, its will be postponed for a while and the next date is unknown. Beeper proposes a staggered auction, where people bid over the span of a week like on Ebay.

7 USUV Other Icon.png Any Other Business Discussion

Beeper speaks about the rotating chair proposal Several things are needed before we can even think about creating a rotating chair;

  • Automated membership tools;
  • automated agenda generator;
  • automated meeting scheduler;
  • finalisation of the Time Management Bill;
  • rework how bills are processed to make it easier on the chair;
  • and figure out how to best decide who speaks for the meeting.

The general consensus is that the necessity of these prerequisites, with some of them being simple to implement, just a time sink.

Mattie would like to speak before closing out the term:

"
So, as this meeting ends, me (and xo's) term also officially ends
Whilst I'm beyond grateful for the opportunity to take over with xo's resignation, the past few meetings were pretty brutal on my health
And I'm kinda saddened that projects I've promised for this term (full occupancy of the Pearl and the finished floors) are not fulfilled
But hey maybe it will be done by the time next term ends
I'm sure DJ and reno will be a good team and probably be much more organized at meetings than I was
So I'll leave you all at that, have a good night and the meeting's adjourned
"

ITEM ICON TITLE TYPE DESCRIPTION OUTCOME
1 USUV Election Icon.png Council Establishment and Bill Review Council bills Discussion These two bills discuss;
  • creating a structure inside the USUV for creating and maintaining separated working groups, or councils, on a specific topic;
  • and creating a council for helping create, edit, and check bills going into the USUV.

The people present had nothing to say and did not want to vote, so the bills were postponed.

2 USUV Flag Icon.png Rotherhythe Reentry Discussion After Mattesco's return to UV, one of the first things he did was apply for Rotherhythe's reentry into the USUV, after being the only settlements to leave it.

During this meeting he held a speech and a small QnA:

"
Alright Chaps of the grand jedi council its me the Matt that Tesco'd and I'm here representing that one ice castle that left
Ignore the pazazz this was how i felt it would work best ahem anyway
Many meetings ago we hosted for our second time and did the funniest possible thing we could called leaving and beheading your stand in chair, again
some number of years later I realise that was a really funny joke but like the most devastating moment in human history
Aka the release of the Wii U
you cant do the same joke twice and it gets old fast
So im back crawling on my silly lil knees asking if y'all will take us back like a lil baby ex that made a silly decision many years ago
We got 2 USUV halls as a token of respect for your two dead chairs now rotting in our old one, and a new one is ready waiting for your usage
Any questions you want to hit me with before we vote on this one
"
- Mattesco, Fed 15th, 2025

Q "do you apologize for taking their lives" - xo
A "no next question"

Q "are you going to do it again?" - Blurple
A "The new hall has two layers on its roof and no viable position to drop a hammer from and also we did the joke twice and thrice is where stuff gets bad"

2/0/0 Pass
3 USUV Flag Icon.png Highways & Community Projects Debate A small conversation about UVDOT's highway plans started between Mattesco and Blurple.

Nothing else happened during this item.

N/A
4 USUV Market Icon.png Market and Trade Discussion This item was mostly filled with jokes about the state of Borealis and a discussion about a possible UV Historial Society.

Nothing else of substance happened during this item due to it's short length.

5 USUV Flag Icon.png Member State Promotion and Updates Discussion STARS is still cool according to xo

Rotherhythe is back in the USUV

Vault 11 is still dead

N/A
6 USUV Events Icon.png Events Discussion Beeper intended to discuss funding for the Olympic League, but he couldn't make it to the meeting.

Mattesco mentioned he wants to make Pub Quizes a repeating event, specifically mentioned either every year or 6 months.

Mattesco asked about the status of Reddit advertisements, lordpipe responded with an ominous "big announcement about the server soon, in the next few days" with no further info.
A multitude of jokes about it came thereafter.
