Glenfiddich Council Metting, 2011-09-06

Regarding surplus walls

The order of quotes have been marginally adjusted for readability. All timestamps, however, are correct.

Three council members files in, this time on time.

23:08:34 Ulven Ah, court is in session.

23:08:48 Maelwedd The roof's new, right?

23:09:00 Pianosaurus Is it?

23:08:48 Ulven The honorable Police Chief Ulven is here.

23:09:05 Ulven So is the dastardly beautiful Clerical Leader Pianosaurus.

23:09:18 Pianosaurus raises his hand.

23:09:27 Ulven And the quite so handsome Militia Commander Maelwedd.

23:09:35 Maelwedd Present, yes...

23:09:43 Ulven So...

23:09:53 Ulven Can anyone remember what we are here for?

23:10:04 Ulven I seem to have displaced my notes.

23:10:06 Maelwedd This would be Case #2, would it?

23:10:07 Pianosaurus Something about the fourth wall?

23:10:19 Ulven Is that wall broken again?

23:10:25 Ulven We just had it repaired.

23:10:23 Maelwedd I'm working on the walls

23:10:29 Maelwedd Might take some time...

Pianosaurus pulls out his parchments.

23:10:18 Pianosaurus No, wait!

23:10:23 Pianosaurus Something about the three other walls!

23:10:48 Pianosaurus We seem to have three walls too many near the public bath.

23:10:44 Ulven Oh, wait a minute.

23:10:52 Ulven shuffles about.

23:11:02 Ulven Ah, there it is.

23:11:17 Ulven takes a sip from his bottle.

23:11:27 Ulven passes it on to Pianosaurus.

23:11:48 Pianosaurus quaffs from the mysterious bottle.

23:11:58 Pianosaurus glows brightly for a second.

23:12:05 Pianosaurus passes the bottle to Maelwedd.

23:12:11 Ulven That's my best bottle of whisky.

23:12:10 Maelwedd takes it and...

23:12:20 Maelwedd What, it's empty already???

23:12:31 Pianosaurus Oops, sorry.

23:12:31 Ulven My father made it, 200 years ago.

23:12:35 Maelwedd hands it back disappointed...

23:12:36 Ulven Or was that 20?

23:12:37 Pianosaurus It *was* rather good.

23:12:48 Ulven ....carry the two....

23:12:57 Pianosaurus Oh bother, here we go again.

23:13:09 Maelwedd Math, why are thy so hard

23:13:07 Ulven Erhm, anyway, to the matter at hand.

23:13:22 Pianosaurus Which is?

23:13:35 Ulven Those three surplus walls you mentioned.

23:13:47 Maelwedd Surplus you say?

23:13:51 Pianosaurus Ah, yes. I propose scavenging them for materials.

23:13:56 Maelwedd We always need surplus...

23:14:02 Ulven I propose burning them to the ground.

23:14:09 Ulven laughes like a maniac.

23:14:26 Pianosaurus raises an eyebrow at Ulven.

23:14:14 Pianosaurus We could convert the surplus walls to surplus wool and wood.

23:14:29 Maelwedd Could we not store the surplus walls whole?

23:14:46 Maelwedd We could use them for militia training sessions

23:14:47 Pianosaurus Yes, if we store them right where they are.

23:15:00 Ulven We could rebuild them. We have the technology.

23:15:10 Pianosaurus Or move them using a complex set of pistons and logic.

23:15:14 Maelwedd I'd rather use our storeroom, it's quite empty right now, not much surplus

23:15:30 Ulven Logic's never been one of our strong suits.

23:15:31 Pianosaurus They're not worth a million, you know...

23:15:42 Maelwedd Logic or surplus?

23:15:59 Ulven Both, I would think.

23:16:05 Pianosaurus The surplus walls of wood and wool.

23:16:17 Pianosaurus Yes, the wogic too.

23:16:26 Pianosaurus Erhm, *L*ogic.

23:16:26 Ulven I believe I spotted some iron in one of the chests.

23:16:27 Maelwedd Well... If they were merely wooden walls I'd agree

23:16:35 Maelwedd But they're surplus walls, aren't they

23:17:07 Ulven We could store the surplus walls where thay are, and simply build around and on top of them.

23:17:08 Pianosaurus True. Surplus is good. I think we agree on this.

23:17:19 Ulven Agreed. Surplus is good.

23:17:24 Ulven bangs his hammer.

23:17:24 Maelwedd I'd rather not store them outside

23:17:26 Pianosaurus How about we build a surplus café around them?

23:17:55 Ulven But if we are to have cafes in surplus, we need to build more than one.

23:17:57 Maelwedd What's all this talk about surplus *not* being in our surplus storage rooms???

23:18:08 Ulven Then where are we supposed to build this other cafe?

23:18:12 Pianosaurus We have surplus rooms too?

23:18:35 Maelwedd I don't know, but we *do* have surplus storage rooms

23:18:28 Pianosaurus Stan is planing a café at the airport at this very moment.

23:18:39 Pianosaurus Room has been set aside by Maelwedd.

23:18:52 Pianosaurus Non-surplus room, that is.

23:18:38 Ulven What exactly are you hiding from us, Maelwedd?

23:18:48 Ulven Oh bugger me.

23:18:58 Maelwedd I am hiding many a thing, most nefarious

23:19:16 Pianosaurus Who are you calling "most nefarious"?

23:19:30 Maelwedd My things

23:19:20 Ulven I just wanted to build a quaint little cafe, maybe a cafe owner, two cute waitresses, a wife who

23:19:38 Ulven incidentally is a terrible singer and a cook, and perhaps some germans.

23:19:54 Pianosaurus I don't think you can build wives...

23:19:54 Maelwedd I agree on the "germans" part, we need more of those

23:20:11 Pianosaurus Germans, on the other hand, are buildable.

23:20:22 Ulven I can build whatever I damned well please, good sir! I am the police!

23:20:33 Maelwedd Unfortunately...

23:20:56 Pianosaurus I think we got side-tracked again...

23:21:00 Ulven And I still haven't gotten any voulenteers to test my excecution chambers!

23:21:02 Maelwedd Shall we retrain ourselfs?

23:21:30 Ulven Fine, fine, let us continue.

23:21:30 Maelwedd I see the whole night has passed, and we have not yet achieved a solution...

23:21:42 Ulven I need a cup of tea.

23:21:57 Ulven shuffles about again.

23:22:22 Ulven For the sake of Farore, I left my cup at my place.

23:22:42 Pianosaurus Let us hasten towards a solution, then.

23:22:43 Ulven Alright, let's get this over with so we can make some tea.

23:22:52 Ulven Yes, you are right.

23:23:00 Ulven So...

23:23:07 Ulven What are our alternatives?

23:23:10 Maelwedd What if...

23:23:40 Maelwedd We were to cannibalise the existing walls for a new building, but never letting the...

23:24:01 Maelwedd materials become surplus. That way, I don't lose face to my Surplus Officers?

23:24:19 Ulven That is a sound option. Pianosaurus?

23:24:46 Pianosaurus That is possible. I suggest I list the alternatives we have now, if I may?

23:24:53 Maelwedd Also, I move to strike my last comment, as it makes me look weak.

23:24:59 Ulven Go ahead.

23:25:07 Ulven Striking granted.

23:25:27 Maelwedd Thank you. Pianosaurus, you were saying?

23:25:37 Pianosaurus 1: Leave the walls, and build a surplus building around them. We need a simmilar...

23:25:52 Pianosaurus ...building elsewhere that is NOT surplus for this to work.

23:26:15 Pianosaurus 2: Tear down the walls, and rebuild them elsewhere. They thus remain surplus walls.

23:26:45 Pianosaurus 3: Salvage the materials of the walls, making sure they never at any point become surplus.

23:26:54 Ulven is thinking hard.

23:27:02 Pianosaurus I believe those where the three viable ones.

23:27:39 Ulven I suggest we put this one up to a vote.

23:27:48 Maelwedd I daresay #3 is most pertinent to our situation

23:28:00 Ulven Pianosaurus, what say you?

23:28:18 Pianosaurus If we had a good idea for a building in that location, I would say #1. Otherwise, #3.

23:28:30 Maelwedd The other two still leaves us with surplus walls

23:28:56 Pianosaurus We do, however, *like* surplus.

23:29:25 Maelwedd We do like surplus, but not stored like this, that's... Bad logistics

23:29:01 Ulven I myself lean towards the third option. It would also ease the burden of building two cafes in

23:29:04 Ulven a similar manner.

23:29:11 Pianosaurus True.

23:29:35 Pianosaurus It seems we are collectively leaning to #3, then.

23:29:47 Pianosaurus Shall we fall over?

23:30:12 Ulven Agreed.

23:30:19 Pianosaurus Agreed.

23:30:21 Maelwedd Then it's settled.

23:30:23 Ulven bangs his hammer, striking his knee.

23:30:36 Ulven Ouch. For the love of Hyrule...

23:30:46 Pianosaurus We should probably build you a table for that.

23:31:00 Maelwedd Maybe get you a gavel instead...

23:31:02 Ulven Agreed. A table would be nice.

23:31:16 Ulven Prehaps one with my name on it?

23:31:25 Pianosaurus I'm sure that could be arranged.

The sun is setting.

23:31:36 Pianosaurus It seems the sun is setting. A good time to end?

23:31:38 Maelwedd Hmm... We have yet to aquire any woodworking professionals...

23:31:48 Ulven Yes, let us end this session.

23:32:00 Maelwedd Good...

23:32:04 Ulven In the case of surplus walls vs. the village of Glenfiddich:

23:32:27 Ulven By unanimous vote it was decided to remove the surplus walls, and store them in a

23:32:31 Ulven non-surplus manner.

23:32:58 Ulven Any objections?

23:33:13 Maelwedd None at all...

23:33:19 Pianosaurus You will receive the case files shortly.

The discussion peters out, followed shortly by the council members.
