Hello Backstage.

So, after a little fumbling around in SYNE, we decided that now is as good a time as any to hold the third Seyllin Conference.

https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=70420&find=unread

WHAT IS IT?



The Seyllin Conference is essentially a point for interested parties to meet and discuss scientific advancements, problems and mysteries in New Eden. On top of that it has also served to be a place to discuss the war with Nation and how to fight the Nation effectively, or reveal any threat we may not have previously seen.

Topics for the 3rd Seyllin Conference this time are likely to have a greater focus on the type of work that Arek'jaalan does, and the odd events such as the Awakened Infomorph and Sleeper activity in K-Space.

We're not neccessarily looking for completed projects or theories, the conference is aout discovery after all. If you've observed something you have no idea about, here is the place to present what you know so far and seek answers.

Each topic will be presented by one or more speakers, the Chairman (myself) will allow questions at appropriate times and at the end of each presentation, the ideas are up for full discussion.

WHY SHOULD I CARE?

SYNE has been doing this since Apocrypha, what gets discussed at Seyllin shapes peoples IC understanding of crazy phenomena in EVE.

But, if science and mystery isnt your thing and you just prefer shooting, we'll still be doing things on shooting down the spikey ships.

Although we've encountered a few developer abandonment issues, we're still looking and we're still open to whatever you've found too

WHAT CAN I DO?



Well, we're still in the preliminary stages of planning right now. We have a venue, moderator roles assigned and a rough idea of what we'd like to see. So all this really leaves us is finding energetic speakers and topics to present, and just plain attracting a crowd

If this has grabbed your fancy at all and you might attend the conference, stay tuned here and on the IGS!

If you would like to present a topic at the conference, drop a mail to either N'maro Makari, Ollie Rundle or Ninavask.

In the next few weeks we may directly seek people out and invite them to present. Dont be offended, if we sought you out its because we think you boss your topic 

Remember we're not looking for flawless presentations with no questions left un-answered, half the fun is theorising about the answer! People with unfinished Arek'Jaalan projects are more than welcome to present what they have so far here.
But be warned, those who have actively assisted the Nation may find themselves being turned away at the door. But it never hurts to ask 

TL;DR



We're doing a thing. It has science and Sansha, come along!

 

Sincerely (not that sincerely)

N'maro

Just to confirm, there will indeed be an after-party

Will it be in the hotel lobby? :O

[Myyona]

I sadly have to decline your invitation, Nmaro.

But with a pregnant wife, transfer of apartment along with a dwindling interest in EVE I simply cannot commit myself to any tasks. Besides, I am horrible poor at "live" roleplaying.

Quite possibly

Awww, thats a shame  Well, if you have any ideas for who would be suitable for presenting any topic, do pop me a mail

Good luck with all the RL stuff 

[Rin Kaelestria]

I could be convinced to show up IC wise for this, provided that pesky thing called RL doesn't get in the way.    Probably just to see other people speak, and less talking to the crowd about a topic, though. Sadly, I don't think my character could contribute any other way then to show up as a spectator. 

[Nmaro Makari]

Small edit to "What Is It" and "What Can You Do"

Just explaining that we're not strictly looking for things where all the answers have been discovered.

Half the fun is asking questions about the unknown

Hey, feel free We certainly need an audience!

Plus, the after party

[khojassteh]

You had me at:

As a current undergraduate and a  firm believer in education for all (what that education should be, especially IC, is always a fun debate), I look forward to attending this conference, even if only as a member of the audience.  I am only sad that I was unable to attend the previous conferences, but will be sure to read the transcripts sometime in the near future.  Now where is that subscribe button......

UPDATE

We're thinking about mid-May or early June.

We've put it back this far because we want to see if DUST 514 provides anything worth presenting.

[Ghost Hunter]

The launch of DUST may eclipse the conference, FWIW. Have you considered doing it before hand so DUST's launch doesn't drag attention away?

Good point, thanks for bringing it up. No, we hadnt quite considered that, so I'd put my money on Mid-May as a date, that way we dont clash with the full release, just the Beta. Unless CCP stuns all of us and does something early.

[Horatius Caul]

Kitzless will be there, and maybe we will have something to talk about. *pokes N'maro with a stick*

[Nmaro Makari]

Dates announced!

Conference will be over two days, 26th and 27th of May, both start at 22:00 EVE Time

[Akrasjel Lanate]

Oh, thats late to bad
