So having read the various discussions about the summit and slavery, I started to wonder if there was any safe refuge for characters that align with Amarr culture.  It would mirror the summit in that it would be an audio (possibly visual comms) channel where Khanid, Ammatar, and Amarr can interact without interjection from those intolerant to their way of life. The goal of the channel would be to help new RPers to the world of Amarr and build a community. Moderation would ensure people adhere to the rules and outsiders don't disrupt the channel with heretical counter-cultural nonsense.

So my question for you,  fellow Internet spaceship gurus, is twofold : does this already exist, and would it (still) be a welcome to the community if I pushed ahead with this project?

[Safai]

a) AFAIK no such channel exists.
b) Yeah, sounds like a good idea. I think a 'comms channel' of this sort that isn't just the Summit and has some focus would be a welcome addition.

[Matariki Rain]

Maybe an Amarrian equivalent of the Caldari's Heiian College?

[Victoria Stecker]

I think I've heard rumors of such a place... and that it is long dead from inactivity, but perhaps can be revived/replaced if there's renewed interest.

[Esna Pitoojee]

I know of one such place and have heard rumors of another; unfortunately, both channels' owners appear to be absent and not returning.

Time to start a new one, I would say.

[Silas Vitalia]

A difficult road ahead but best of luck. Smaller pool of Amarr RPers means you might consider opening the doors to those 'seeking to know about the culture' or something similar. A quick boot/ban to any nonsense of course, but this could be a lovely channel that would appeal more to spiritual and theological debates, and less gossip

[ArtOfLight]

I have full intentions to create a channel similar to this if no one else intends to. I will proceed with making it unless someone else decides to do so.

[Seriphyn]

Do so! There's "Gallente Lounge" which is the Fed equivalent of the above.

[Khloe]

Thanks for the replies. 

Art, you seem pretty gung-ho about this idea. Did you want to go ahead with this?

[Red]

Red would IMMENSELY enjoy such a channel, at least for the duration of her sabbatical...

[Odelya]

A good idea. Whoever want to start it, please send me a message, I might have some ideas.

[Nmaro Makari]

Well, to be a voice of realism, dont expect a cultural rennaisance. RP Channels other than the summit tend to be silent boneyards, though, I've noticed a little more activity recently which is welcome. Come to think of it, theres not better time to try

Anywho, if seeking to avoid the sort of treatment Amarr (the traditional ones) get in Summit, and detering people seeking to start trouble and nothing else, consider stuff like running the channel in default moderated mode and authorising people on a case by case basis.

[ArtOfLight]

I'll make the channel this afternoon when I get home from work. As soon as I have the channel made, I'll put the name here so anyone interested can join.

[Lyn Farel]

To play the devil's advocate, if people start to see Amarrians beginning to withdraw in their own corner/channel like a clique, it may actually result in the opposite of what you are trying to achieve.

But it is merely a risk, not a certainty. Better to try.

[ArtOfLight]

We're not "withdrawing" Lyn.

We're basically talking about just creating a channel where we can RP among ourselves and anyone willing to talk about Amarr culture and religion. We're not talking about leaving other RP channels and no longer RPing with people.
