I considered seriously to present something in there, but I really lack the time to produce something

[Synthia]

Has a date been set ?

[Morwen Lagann]

The last one being bandied about by the SCLC was November 3rd and 4th, but you'll need Nemo, Ollie and/or Ninavask to confirm that.

[Etienne Saissore]

We'd be interested in presenting something. Is there still time to send an abstract?

Loads of time. I'm going to make the IGS announcement at the end of this week. Owing to my own RL commitments we're now looking at December 7th/8th for the conference.

In addition to talks, open panels, etc we're also considering a free RP trade floor 'room' where characters can hawk their corps/alliances/industry/research/services or anything they can think of that fits the idea as well as network and develop contacts. So if people want to participate in that way let us know too.

I hope it won't be too immersion breaking to receive the abstracts before the DL.

We would be interested in this.

Not immersion breaking at all - send abstract(s) or ideas to the SeyCon SCLC mailing list in game. If you can't access that, just CC them to myself (Ollie Rundle in game), N'maro Makari, Ninavask, Morwen Lagann and Derek Draconis.

If you need an IC reason ... say you've heard rumours, etc based on the 12 months+ since the last SeyCon and emerging technology that's developed during that interval.

Again, just let me or the committee know what you have in mind.


Further to the last, we're looking for a few other types of characters who might want to participate in various aspects of RP surrounding and related to the conference.

Firstly, following the official announcement on IGS (again, Coming Soon™) I'm hoping to involve journalist/media-focussed characters who have ties to news sources to report on the conference preparations and updates in-character. Ideally this would be partly managed through OOC conversation/clarification so as to see things progress with enough drama to maintain interest but not to derail things beyond all hope of getting it back on track. Fredfredbug (if you're here), Muck Raker, ISODE, etc ... I'm kind of looking at you guys as well as anyone else (throwaway alt?) who think they fit the bill. If this sounds like something you want to be involved with let us know. If not, no harm no foul.

Secondly, we're hoping to run some kind of entertainment on the first or second nights (or both if there's enough interest) after the scheduled parts of the conference. If there's anyone who's interested in RPing as entertainers (musicians, DJs, MCs, etc), as service providers (players with an interest in their characters supplying food, beverages, etc) or anyone who has other unique ideas they think might work in that setting again please let us know. If there's enough interest we'll hand you that/those role(s) - otherwise we'll just background it.

Edit: Also, not sure if this thread should be here or in Player Driven Content board. Will leave it up to the mods to decide.

While the Institute isn't a news organisation per se, it can always have some kind of similar engagement in the line of speculative press releases/conferences and campaigns and so on. Making as well as then presenting the news of sorts.

Yeah, the names put out there were just the most obvious of people/groups who make regular announcements on the IGS of the type I'm thinking of. I wasn't meaning to imply ISODE was a media outlet and nor was I attempting to force you to become involved - my apologies if that was how it seemed. Rather I was thinking that groups like ISODE as a politicised think-tank might be interested in making objective or subjective commentary on the types of social, technological and post-human themes that we're trying to have SeyCon highlight. This would give a different perspective to news or tabloid reporting.

At the end of the day, what I'm actually trying to accomplish is to open an event that's been somewhat confined in the past to a specific type of RP to other forms of RP and wider interaction with as many players as can be achieved.

No no you don't have to force me into anything, I'd be happy to help.

[Synthia]

December? oh ok.

[Nmaro Makari]

Hey folks

Most unfortunately, due to scheduling difficulties, plus ongoing operational commitments, we have decided to indefinitely postpone this event. It will happen, just when there's less demands on our attention and more resources.

Ideas and thoughts are still welcome 

[Saede Riordan]

awwww

[Ché Biko]

Hey, I don't mind waiting. I prefer a well organized conference over a rushed one.

[Saede Riordan]

I've got my presentations all prepared when it is decided to do the conference anyway.
