I believe this would be a wonderful event to take part in. Count me in of course.
Count me in! humanitarian interventions for everyone!
I'm not sure how Morwen might go about expressing interest in something like this, given things, but it might be something up her alley given past work.
In the longer run, it might be worth considering longer-term, more indirect methods of encouraging peace.
The Nobel Committee doesn't directly stump for causes, IIRC, but the Peace Prize is dynamite, politically (so to speak).
This sounds like an intriguing idea. I believe Sahriah would be interested in anything that may affect her line of work but I am unsure if she would be welcome considering her job really revolves around people not getting along. Either way I am looking forward to seeing how this plays out.
That's an interesting idea.
I guess that we could also have people showing up that actually want war and will do anything to put the negociations in jeopardy out of political agendas, Netanyahu style. That could be awesome.
Also, could be a good time to resurrect the New Eden Assembly, though... There are already too many channels from what I gather and they have reached a critical mass for people to keep them active.
It'd definitely be cool to see something like this going on; I don't recall anything similar ever happening on a large-ish scale.
Of course, it'd be disingenuous for the Sansha's Nation-aligned Kyber to put in an appearance. My old NOH guy Vaun may have done, but ho-hum; will watch with OOC interest if nothing else!
Hello All,
So this is an idea I have had kicking around in my head for a little bit...
For shuttle attacks maybe you can find objects, item or persons that require to be transported, and not in cloaky ships ?
For Sansha and piwate supporters, nothing prevents them to send crooked agents that work under cover for X respectable entity, and even if some of them are quickly labelled as blatantly working for shady interests, they might not be outright declared as pirate or whatever, and so would not really be expellable.
This is a wonderful proposal. I don't have a clue what would propably come out of this, but just trying would be a lot of fun, I think :D Count me in. If you need any help for preparations, brainstorming, or event support, let me know.
What would be the in space consequences of this? I like the idea and might see about getting Hallie involved. I don't like that you want to make a peace talk exclusive. That kind of gives a "We want peace, just not with you" vibe. And why use yet another channel when we have active mods in The Summit? Maybe even getting Pheobe Freeport alliance to chime in or host could be a step in the right direction too. Talking about peace in New Eden rather than just CONCORD space (hisec). Might actually have some in space effect that way, as we really can't change CONCORD "peace" policies.
I...want...in.
While those capsuleers whose loyalty is openly declared for those groups whom are regarded as "illegal" wouldn't get an invite, it doesn't mean you can't get involved. :D You could petition to have yourselves involved, create a media storm on how the conference is excluding you and other necessary voices for peace, etc. I would definitely love to see this and would be more than happy to help work out the details for it :D
Though ICly the event is about peace and its promotion, OOCly its motivation is to help us create interesting and exciting stories around our characters and their place in the world - and assuredly that which is interesting and exciting is rarely a result of smooth sailing. :)
Nevermind then.
Oh, yeah. I'll keep an eye out to see if anything would catch my character's eye--if it does, I'll hit you up and see what we can figure out. Give us a shout if you go ahead with it and something comes to mind, too; could be fun.
Interesting concept, and I wish you luck with it. It may be surprising but ICly Luna has an issue with this (more that she would think this is overstepping the bounds of a capsuleer's place over the Empress and the officials the Empire has to handle issues of war and peace, among other issues probably clear if you know the character), but you may want to talk to Nicoletta to see if she has interest.
Hrm, maaaaaybe? I'll give it some heavy consideration, at least. :P
*expecting Morwen, Luna, and Sami telling her to log back in more in 3... 2... 1...*
Caldari delegate, checking in. :)

I think that this will almost certainly lead to nothing ICly and even if not I couldn't be entirely sure that it would be "good" for peace to break out. But as an event for content creation I am wholly supportive and if I can take part (if I am available and it makes sense) I will.
I could show up if that would work?
The way Pieter sees it, it's not that the opinions of a bunch of capsuleers are binding on the nationstates that they represent. This represents an opportunity to see familiar events and conflicts from an unfamiliar angle and see if there is any common ground, in vision.
This is just about good citizenship.
It's more about a petition rather than a command. Capsuleers discussing agreements in a sensible (or not) matter, and governments are free to do what they want with it.
The primary purpose, if I get it right, is a peace summit between capsuleers organizations and loyalists to broker peace agreements between said capsuleer entities (or not).
This looks quite interesting. Count me in.

I'd like to get involved, if only a little.
Ché may not volunteer, or may even require someone to convince him, but it's he's not an unlikely candidate to be asked to function as a neutral mediator/diplomat. He's known as a peace activist, played a part in the establishment of the Caldari Prime DMZ, holds no loyalty any of the big4 in particular, and is even neutral towards Sansha's Nation.
Putting him in that position may create some controverse. It's not unlikely that some will see him as unfit to function in that capacity for various reasons. And sometimes Ché says stuff...it would have been better if he had not said it.
Also, those CONCORD Diplo shuttles...gotta have a use for those. :bear:

As a member of New Eden's largest group of 100% legitimate businessmen (and women), I would definitely be interested in being involved with this.
I think we should have Diana Kim attempt to crash a Leviathan into the conference. Attempt.
After all, she wouldn't want Caldari and Gallente make peace with each other.
Also, need Matari extremists.
The simple fact that you are space communism automatically grants access to Arkon's deepest secrets and privileges. :3
Interested, though I'm not at all sure who or what Aria would represent.

Also, fwiw... the Masque is conveniently located in Yulai. You're welcome to use it, if you like - I can easily 'lock' the channel to limit to an invite list if needed.
I'd be interested.

This is shaping up nicely! Looking forward to it - particularly want to engage Minmatar delegates a bit. I love the Matari lore and since Pieter fell out with Ava I haven't gotten to play in that sandpit at all.
Liam would, of course, attend as a representative for the Federation (at least one bloc of it), though I imagine there might be better prospects.
Wow, nice outline. Seems like a good time, to be honest. I'm looking forward to attending.
Running it through May makes its slightly interesting for me, as the first week and a half I will be very busy irl with exams. I'm still interested in getting involved but I may have to start off in something of an observers role.
Nice.
If I may though, you will have to set up schedules and dates for the events themselves, like the official debates and conferences, because of timezones. From experience, if there is no schedule and people are free to do things all day, then it will remain very sparse and chaotic, and not very focused. So, not very different than what you already see on the summit when politics suddenly happen. It doesn't prevent people to RP and speak between themselves besides at their times of convenience, but you need properly scheduled conferences, at least to bring people to formalize and concretize what they have been debating all day informally.
Then, you also have mailing lists at your disposal. I would suggest to heavily make use of those, for every comission, etc.
My initial intuition is that this might be better done in a smaller, tighter timeframe - perhaps 2 weeks instead of four. I'm concerned that by the end, burnout will be hitting people hard and they'll be simply failing to show up. But, that's just a suggestion - not a demand.Alternately, spread it out over a longer period and have weeks in between with no formal conference stuff going on.
So where will all those diplomatic shuttles be going to and from?Also, maybe the commissions could decide a more convenient meeting point for their sessions. Caldari Prime could be a logical choice for Caldari-Gallente issues, for example.
Huh, interesting way of doing this.
Here are my questions: How much are you expecting to go on per day? Because if you are asking people to show up for multiple-hour-long speeches and discussions for several days each week - I will warn you right now, people are going to start bailing.
If, on the other hand, this is merely meant to provide a framework of times for people to be involved within which RP can develop as it pleases, that's a different matter. Of course, it may be difficult to get everyone on the same level then.
I guess the big questions I have are:
- How many days of each week are you expecting 'mandatory' RP events to be on?
- How many hours are you expecting each days' event to run? (Note: I suggest adding 2-3 hours to your estimates.)
- What events can still be run if people are continually filtering in and out?
- What time limits should be placed on thing like major speeches and turns at debate (to prevent things from running on too long)?
- For events run at regular times over the weeks - what about people who cannot make those times?

I see the proposed site is in Genesis, which is good. That means most legit pilots can attend. However there is only one station in system. So where will all those diplomatic shuttles be going to and from?
Nice ideas so far! Four weeks is an impressive timeframe. It could reduce the number of people actively following through the whole thing. To focus decentralized working groups, negotiations, and debates it could be helpfull to have some fixed deadlines when working papers have to be submitted in order to put them on the agenda of a formal debate. Independent groups could work out their own schedule while the results would be gathered and discussed in formal assemblies. Those working papers would also allow the not so deeply involved audience to get into the topics and debates. Or something like that^^
I want in on this so bad.
This idea is a good idea. As a political scientist I really want to be involved, but I don't have any currently active characters that would really do it. Some future ones are planned that would, but alas.
This is an awesome idea! Is anyone welcome? Or only those from certain RP circles?
Awesome! Can't wait! I would very much like to come and be all gangsta and shiz ;) just kidding, I will be a polite young lady, can't wait for the IC announcement :D
Hope it is badass! For peace of course.. Yes.. Badass peace.. Best peace :
Can people with no loyalty, like Halfrek, be there just to watch?
