We've taken a bit of a hit in terms of our numbers, back down to less than 60. Four of the recent five departures were because of death (Firesage, Pasqualina, Natura and Sweetmeg), one due to permanent retreat (Wognot). Pas had language difficulties, Natura was noob, not sure about Firesage and Sweetmeg (both from drummore), Wognot's work took him away.
Oh well.

Moving right along...
I've still not got my 'old' computer going. New hardrive installed but now an issue with the video card. Still I managed to catch up with some clan admin this morning.
We now have 50 members. Thanks to the spark of Destrata and the energy of her friends, there are now ten MacTavishes in Lanark. Well done folks, make the most of it! I believe the Roses are the other major clan presence in town, from past dealings they are a nice and friendly bunch of people generally speaking. Four more of us have become level 2s over the past week; Lucifera (Ardencaple) is now a baker; Jubox and Quik2type of Whithorn, weavers; and, Jayne of Drummore, a miller.
Our clan subforum keeps fairly busy, albeit mainly with new applications for membership at the moment. There's a thread there seeking your thoughts on what our clan is and could be doing. Please have a look and post your ideas there.
In national affairs, the Scotish Constitution awaits the ratification of the one remaining county (Galloway) before becoming law. Our two brave MacTavish representatives, Ragehammer and Lucifera, both await the opening of the National Assembly (we get two representatives due our status of one of Scotland's Founding Clans). Expect there to be a bit of shake up of national power structures in the months following the opening of the National Assembly.
Galloway Council elections finish in a couple days. It is likely that the Scottish Democratic Party will take a majority of seats (fingers crossed). If this proves the case, there could be upto three MacTavishes on the County Council (Aelin, Bonquida and Yankie) and a MacTavish as Count! I urge all MacTavishes resident in Galloway to get out and vote, and be careful you place your vote in the box of the SDP ticket!!!
There has been a slight increase in clan hostilities recently. The MacGregors have shown their robbing colours again, laying silent seige to Dumfries castle in April. The Forbes have run a ticket in the Galloway elections, and elevated a squabble between their chieftain (JeffersonDavis) and the Wallace Chieftain (Brother Chris) into the beginnings of a feud. Tempers seem to have calmed recently, and the MacGregors have dispersed, but the potential for major conflict has shown itself. Through these troubles we have kept a quiet presence in the background (as also, I hear, during the present dominance of the Gunn clan in Glasgow) and kept going in our own little ways to improve the situation.
This gives us great credit.

Clan News
The new colonies in County of Glasgow opened their borders for several days. Four MacTavishes made the move.
Lucifera is in Ardencaple
Maerik and Luthien Bedwyr are in Stirling
Destrata is in Lanark
All four have been given access to the UCS as the Glasgow MacTavishes.
There are three MacTavish Councillors on Galloway County Council
Lady Robin is Spokeswoman
Antek is Constable
Aelin is Public Prosecutor
We lost no-one to Ireland. Some other large clans lost half of their members (O'Broins, Campbells, MacAles, Kennedys in particular). We have been gaining members slightly faster than losing, seem to be holding around 40 MacTavishes. Almost a quarter of us are level 2.
Our homelands lie in counties to the north and the west of county of Glasgow. We might start thinking about the possibility of a big move at short notice in case new colonies of interest open in next few months.
At the moment Dracmuller is busy checking the proposed Constitution through. The clan is debating it before casting a vote for or against it. So far, no-one has said we should oppose it.

Clan Member News
Sweetmeg of Drummore has levelled up. She is a weaver. Congratulations!
The Glasgow colonies are still open for those who want to move. After our recent discussion the following have moved so far:
Lucifera has moved with friends to Ardencaple where she can fish in peace.
Luthien and Maerik have gone to Stirling. Luthien likes the forests and Maerik is looking for adventure.
Destrata has gone to Lanark where the peasants pick fruit.
No MacTavishes have gone to Ireland. Many hotheads (including not a few NNGO) have gone to Stirling. Anton_capone is now in Ireland.
Balenoape of Drummore has passed on. He was one of the original MacTavishes. Jah bless him.
Aelin of Whithorn has joined Galloway Council as various members leave for the colonies. Looks like a busy time ahead for our resident scotsman.
Idallia has left our clan to join her newly found sister into the Rose Clan. Our good wishes go with her.
I make it we have 39 active members, with 2 applications in the works at the moment.

A Neibour in Ayr!
Neibour MacTavish has 'joined' our clan, though he has actually fulfilled all membership requirements since Jan 1, 1456 (yech, reminds me of those itty bitty mushrooms, thinking of New Year's Eve). He is level 2 (blacksmith). Perhaps we can start rebuilding our membership in Ayr and taking on some of that anti-clan sentiment which we hear emnating from former NNGO types out there...
There's no present membership applications, so I'd remind people to keep their eyes open for promising individuals. Just send me their names and I'll take it from there, or ask them yourself.

Ticking along
Although things are quiet here at the hearth at the moment, our clan seems to be ticking along.
Kwakiutlcs 'Kwak' MacTavish of Whithorn has become a baker.
A recent RSA patrol composed of four MacTavishes worked flawlessly (albeit, didn't see the robber).
Clan members have been active in both local and county political scenes, with three standing as candidates at county election with UCS party, and several members providing voice to dissent with the VotP party (though not as candidates). By the way, get out and vote if you haven't done so already!!!
With a slow but steady flow of active members joining up, we remain the third largest clan in the land despite fact that Italian_Iceman and Lady_Susan no longer exist (:(

Dearly departed, and the soon-to-be...
I have done one of my periodic checks of the clan roster. There were a few MacTavishes who are officially classed as 'dead' at the moment, one who has 'dissappeared', one who hasn't logged on for several days but is still alive. I thought I'd leave a message here for a bit, before advising the official power structures ingame...
Totally Gone
Muzz
He's done this before so I'll wait a wee while before notifying this guy as gone.
Officially 'Dead'
Kevin Teastone
Daniel the Slayer
Italian Iceman
I'll wait for their profiles to be erradicated before regarding them as truly gone.
Missing But Active
Lady Susan
If anyone knows anything, please let me know if I can help...

Roll Call - Jayne
Hello, this is a belated continuation to Lady Robin's idea.
IRL, I am a normal, broke Texas college student and, consequently, my life tends to be a little boring. Not to mention, I really have no life outside of school. lol. I have two remaining semesters of undergraduate work and then hopefully I'll be admitted to law school. (Time will tell...) I spend the rest of my weekdays working for federal attorneys as a lowly file clerk. In my free time, I like to hang out with my husband, friends, and family. There's not much else to do in my neck of the woods. Random tidbit: I'm actually a Californian at heart. :-)
IG, I am a 20 year old widowed corn farmer living in Drummore.

Roll Call - Drac
IRL I am early forties aussie male (half canadian). Play guitar in a rock band. work during the day as a criminal defence lawyer. Been there and done that in my earlier life, worked all types of jobs before spent 11 years at university where I expanded my mind. Married a scottish wife, in a kilt, in scotland (that's a tale in itself, which I'll tell anyone who asks me about it). I'll post a picture up in a day or two, adding it to this post.
IG play a early forties scottish male. Lead dude in a highland band. Taking the long view in setting up a clan for those not connected to the power structures, so kin can connect to the power structures via a clan which others respect. So far, mission a success.
IRL and IG - somewhat of a philosophical anarchist, stong sense of social justice, tilts at windmills.

Hokay So here is the Malon_Knights. My real name is Dave and I am one of Ladyrobin's 600 teenagers. I am really 17 years old. I am a senior in high school and very lazy, except in this game which is wierd. But yeah I have 2 cats, and my pure breed German shepred puppy, whom I love. I am also dating Sweetmeg, which will most likely, though I don't know, come into play in the game. I got my name from the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. It can be found on the 3rd truthstone from the left in front of the temple of time. Also 2 interesting facts about myself, I know the ancient Scottish Sword Dance and I plan on growing huge, bushy mutton chops.
In game, I will be level 1 tomorrow. I just thought there was no better group of people to share this with than my clan.
Next
Roll Call!
There are 21 or more names on our clan list...and I admit I only know six of you more than just in passing. I do think it would be fun for each of us to post a little bit about ourselves, either IRL, IG, or both. Of course, I'll begin...
My real name is Robin (imagine that!) and I teach high school English (journalism/drama/Brit Lit/grammar). SweetMeg and Malons_Kinight are both students of mine IRL :-) We all live in Michigan, in the United States.
IG, I am 30. It was an age I enjoyed. IRL I am older than 30, and glad to be, frankly, after the last 18 months or so. You see, I'm also an ovarian cancer survivor! I've been married 26 years and have three fur children, and 600+ teenagers. Life is never EVER dull at my house.
Next?
