http://forum.tgft.org/forum/topic_show.pl?tid=11343The 895th meeting of TGFT was chaired by Commander tsreknor, with Galactica Actual (GA), Mani Sayed, and Ecka Estenk in attendance. The following points represent the core discussions and the personal contributions of the leadership:
Council Updates and Membership Changes
Tsreknor opened the meeting by announcing that council voting was complete, with Mophius officially replacing xXxDSMer. The commander then took a moment to "shed a tear" for HJ_Elite, a "good member" who recently resigned voluntarily.
• Mani Sayed expressed mild curiosity regarding whether it was an account deletion or a guild change, eventually checking the VO website to confirm the player was still active.
• Galactica Actual noted the importance of guild loyalty, stating that because TGFT does not recruit from other guilds, they do not accept others recruiting from theirs. The Role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the Guild
A significant portion of the meeting focused on how the member TEH has been using AI to reduce meeting logs on the forum.
• Galactica Actual was highly enthusiastic about the AI's potential, suggesting it could be used for a weekly update on the forum to track guild history by highlighting specific changes in the MOTD, such as new hive counts or member level-ups. GA described some of the more advanced possibilities as "mind blown".
• Mani Sayed proposed even more technical applications, such as an AI agent to monitor Discord and provide a daily summary or even a TC2 alert if pirate activity is detected on channel 100. However, Mani cautioned that the "cost-benefit would be tricky" and potentially complex to implement without breaking forum accounts.
• Tsreknor remained pragmatic, offering to provide a character login if 24/7 access was needed for the AI, but joked that his job as commander was likely safe from AI for a while. He also confirmed there were no forum settings that would technically prevent an AI from posting, provided it didn't write anything "spectacularly long".
• Ecka Estenk and Deneb D-11 supported these views, with Ecka confirming his previous checks of the forum's post length limit settings.
Weekly Accomplishments
Tsreknor reported a productive week for the guild, including:
• 14 Queens and 1 Leviathan killed.
• New member "Great Guy" was singled out for killing four of those queens and reaching levels 6/5/6/5/-, though tsreknor jokingly noted he hasn't explained his "dysfunctional problem with mining" yet.
• ivmden achieved Pentric II, Mining 13, and Trade 11.
• Galactica Actual reached Trade 19.
Closing Remarks and the "Spelling Debate"
As the meeting neared adjournment, Mani Sayed joked that the AI could correct everyone's spelling, though using a US dictionary might be controversial.
• Ecka Estenk responded with a "growl" specifically regarding the word "colour," insisting on the preferred dictionary of the user.
• Mani Sayed also shared a lighthearted moment, teasing GA by saying he would "pick GA up off the flor" after a typo.
Tsreknor adjourned the 895th meeting after thanking everyone for making TGFT a fun guild.
