Discussion Galactic Economic Conference

[Niki Priddy]

Manaan sounds like the place to be. I'll see you all there.

 

[Fulcrum]

Let's take the plunge, get our feet wet, nautical turn of phrase, etc etc etc. Manaan's got my vote.

 

[John Locke]

I'd love to bring LKM, and Manaan seems good.

 

[Castor Crane]

The Corporate Sector Authority and its client corporations will be eagerly awaiting the conference

 

[Cay-Yo]

Manaan seems like the favorite so I'll get started on the thread assets being on Manaan!

Thank you all for your interest and help!

 

[Laphisto]

[Jack Sandrow]

Seems like fun. I'd love to toss my leaf in the ring.

 

[Maëlys Amnen]

Is the hotel nice?

 

[Cay-Yo]

Very!

 

[Maldor Mecetti]

Sign up Senator Mecetti of the Mecetti Province.

House Mecetti operates the Obulette Shipyards in the Tapani sector, and there may be valuable business connections to be made.

While House Mecetti is not, strictly speaking, a company, we do have several nationalized industries under our purview.

 

[Box Mattox]

The Battleborn Mercenary company would like to attend, just to see what the latest innovations in affordable war materiel are.

 

[Cay-Yo]

Maldor Mecetti Box Mattox NO sign ups required! Welcome

Edit: NO sign ups required, i was on my phone when I sent that response I'm not sure why the 'no' was no present. Like I've said, its a public thread and no sign ups are required and none will be required for any of my public threads in the future as Public threads are (by the rules) open to all!

 

[Cay-Yo]

I would also like to get your honest thoughts about the thread.

How did you feel about the setup post?:
Do you feel the objectives are engaging?:
What would you like to see in the future?:
Would you want some form of Storyteller interaction?:

Overall Ive enjoyed the thread. If something similar in the future, maybe the Storyteller can be some type of booming announcer presence? A trade show host?

Not having Storyteller interaction was fine, just tossing ideas for next time.

 

[Tycho Vale]

I agree with the points above. I think one possibility for getting the storyteller more involved could be having journalists roaming the exhibition and interviewing business owners, inventors, etc. Not only does it help flesh out what businesses are/have to offer, it gives the opportunity for characters who didn't meet in person to later say, "Hey, I saw your interview."

Overall, I've had a great time with the thread so far. Thanks for hosting!

Those are both solid ideas and wouldn't be hard to test out, even in this thread.

I feel like I missed something. The thread already started?

I really adore this idea, it would definitely help pull characters together

Yep it already started when you posted the first time. Go check it out in the Open RP section,still story there.

 

[Chi Chuchi]

I agree particularly with Tycho, A lot of people didn't get any character interaction and dropped off rather than seeking someone else out. Which was their choice, but fully a third of the poll responses were wanting to do deals as faction representatives, and the 2 'Objective Headers' were show room business and trade floor business. Keeping it down to two was probably wise, but in hindsight maybe there shouldn't have been any, it divided the participants by location/objective and those mostly ignoring that are the ones active other than the writers I've been interacting with. Or the second objective could have been about prowling the floor looking for the promise of contracts or the like.

Really don't worry about the setting, it could have been a street in front of a hotel and people would have written in what they needed. I think that was one of the great things Danger Arceneau did when the marketplace and auctions were first starting out and they were major successes every time she did an event. Basically she gave an outlet and a framework for passionate writers and let them do what they wanted, while usually just managing an auction or working the crowd at the most.

I dont think a thread like this needs a story teller, but event staff, interviewer, or a presenter would help you curate the thread if you felt the need.
