Caldari delegate, checking in.
Awesomesauce, I admit your posts in the 'Gallentean's have started the war' thread were part of what catalyze the idea for this event.
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.
Thanks Luna
I can definitely see that position, however Arkon's IC view is that the proposal (if the conference produces one) would be no more than a petition to the authorities in the Empire to consider. In this way it is elementally no different to the petition currently on the IGS for the removal of slaves from the SCC - the Empire is a signatory to the agreements which create and administer the SCC thus lending its authority to the organisation, yet Arkon considers it perfectly reasonable as a faithful citizen of the Empire to point out what he considers to be a mistake in Imperial policy. Which again is identical to what the proposal from the conference would be, a petition and suggested plan for peace in New Eden from interested and dutiful citizens of all the big four.
But the reaction of characters like Luna who believe it is overstepping the limits of an individual's place in society will surely be a great piece of the stories that are crafted in and around this event.
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.
Exactly
The IC success or failure of the conference is irrelevant to the exciting stories and development for our characters that will occur. Glad to have you there
I could show up if that would work?
I see no reason why it shouldn't
Once I have a better outline of things in the coming week you should be able to see whether it would suit your character or not
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.
Arkon's IC vision is pretty much the same, and from an OOC perspective nothing produced by the conference will be binding as that is more than we can reasonably claim as players. Hence why I have called the product of the conference, should it happen, a proposal for a pathway to peace not a peace treaty.
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).
The peace conference will outline and touch on all matters deemed by the delegates to be necessary in forming a lasting peace in the cluster - so I am sure capsuleer and non-capsuleer organisations will be the subject of much discussion during the conference, and will feature in the proposal should it occur.
As I have said the product of the conference will be a proposal for peace nothing more, as doing more than that requires more authority than we as players can reasonably claim. However, if the proposal is produced then the enforcement of its clauses relevant to our capsuleer organisation could be something that the delegates wish to see come to fruition - and this would be something that could lead to further events, further representation and development in the actual game outside the event, and this would be absolutely ace in my book
However as I have said before I don't want to preempt OOC what we will be debating and discussing IC, removes half the fun.
This looks quite interesting. Count me in.
Ace!
Glad to have another peep interested.
Hrm, maaaaaybe? I'll give it some heavy consideration, at least.
*expecting Morwen, Luna, and Sami telling her to log back in more in 3... 2... 1...*
Thank you for the consideration
I hope when I have a better and more informed outline for the event up that it will definitely see you at it
Given the interest I am definitely happy to say this event will be occurring, I am just now needing to structure and give form to it a bit more. Expect the more structured proposal within the coming week.
