 * 8) Species main images. If we have NEGAS ones, do we use those or do we use the ones that have male and female in them? ---  V ladius M agnum ( Clan Magnum )[[Image:dasymbol.gif|20px]] 20:19, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Apologies

 * Sniff. 20:30, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
 * 1) Have no IRC ability, and no opinion either way on most agenda issues, sincerest regrets though. Blastsword Champion
 * 2) Working, unfortunately... Micah Giett 15:27, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
 * 3) Training with the unit all that week Greyman
 * 4) Why do you guys always have these when i am working? :P  StarNeptune Talk to me! 05:44, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
 * 5) Gel Maethor: (Looks at organizer)  Awww...  Its gonna seven o' clock in the MORNING here in the Philippines.  I don't know if I can participate.  I'll just bring some concerns at the Senate Hall.  (Like my proposal to set up a "Mos Eisley Cantina" where people could just hang out--so they won't goof off in the Senate Hall.)
 * 6) Soz peeps can't make it ;( got school - but I would like to push a STRONG point/ view forward - STAR WARS: Clone Wars Animated Series is not actually a factual, chronological tale of the Battle Of Coruscant, but a cartoon for kids. That isn't meant as an offence to anyone who likes the cartoon (I personally have series 1 + 2 on DVD), but simply a reminder that it was viewed on Cartoon Network (a channel for children), and was made for that reason. Labyrinth of Evil, and all books and graphic novels for that matter, are the true form of events, and if you look on the special features of the Clone Wars Series 1 DVD, there should be a featurette on how they made the program, and how they didn't really have a storyline set by George Lucas to follow, whereas James Luceno did. Some events in the animated series are true, just the outcomes are different from what really happened. Thankyou. [Commander Valiant]
 * 7) Sorry, I have volunteering and work to deal with. I can't make it. -- SFH 21:25, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
 * 8) I probably won't. Kuralyov 06:39, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

 * 10) Too much work to do, I might stop by but it's unlikely Rogue 12 18:56, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
 * 11) Noooooooooo.... Chack Jadson 19:44, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
 * 12) Sorry :-( --Azizlight 21:07, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Comments

 * Y'know, back in the good ol' days, we used to wait until the date was announced before we started saying if we'd be there or not. ;) -- Ozzel 02:25, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

 * How long do these things usually last? Chack Jadson 20:28, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
 * It really depends on how well people cooperate. Maybe an hour or two. 20:57, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
