Everyone please welcome @giovannidannato!

Welcome!

Hello sir! @giovannidannato

We're going to get started in three minutes. This is a good chance to knock out your orientation requirement and become a full IE member.

Also, please make sure that you all have avatars set.

Am I in the correct place for orientation?

Nevermind I see that I am.

@budjiman enter the voice chat

go to the channels on the left, and scroll down

click on the Pledge Hall voice channel

@budjiman you entered the General voice channel, instead enter the Pledge Hall voice channel

Lost it at "live in a barn and have nothing to lose" 😂

Those guys were not in IE just FYI.

Attended

Attended

Absolutely fantastic to know just how professional we are expected to be! I love this.

PROUDLY attended!!!!

Hey some I got here late, what do I need to do to pledge? I think at about Guideline 5 is when I got here. What did Mr. Patrick cover before the guideline coverage? Should I go ahead and attend next month's pledge session as well?

I have never been SO proud to be a part of something!

Hey so*

I think it was 7:40pm 😦

Had trouble getting in on national discord but someone helped me out.

Are we able to ask questions here?

@budjiman yep! Tag @Reinhard Wolff

I can't seem to tag him. What could I be doing wrong?

@budjiman write an `@` symbol and then start typing `P` `a` `t`... it should show up

It keeps automatically changing to Steve Bennet . Haha. I'm such a noob

@budjiman yes that's him 😆

Ohhhhh. Hahaha

@budjiman Steve Bennet is Patrick's Discord name

haha I forgot about that, it's because of the way Discord works with base names and nicknames

@Reinhard Wolff would it be inappropriate to wear IE merchandise outside of activism and meet ups?

Thank you @ThisIsChris

You're welcome! @budjiman

@budjiman no not at all, as long as you are comfortable with the risk of hostiles identifying you wearing IE material you are perfectly welcome to wear IE merch

@greg_p - TX understood. Thank you.

Am I the only one that thinks the cricket sounds are comfy 😅

@greg_p - TX haha yeah I love it

@Reinhard Wolff this was very productive! Much appreciated.

@Reinhard Wolff I tuned in while at work so I may have missed it but are the next steps after this to becoming a full member?
