Sci-Fi Invitational Event Discussion Thread

[Nouh_Bdee]

I know that invitational events don't usually post threads in the AH, but we need a place to have group discussions about an upcoming event and none of our other solutions are working, so please ignore this thread.

Anyone feeling aggrieved that they're not involved should be thankful they don't have to read the novel-length treatise that establishes the universe these stories will be set in.

Fuck. Yes.

W-T-A-F!?!?!

[MelissaBaby]

I am very happy to ignore all invitational events.

Someone unleashed my inner nerd while I was reading Asimov.

I do feel thankful! But I also feel curious, about how these things come about. Does this just mean Nouh came up with a premise and invited the listed authors to participate? Or what?

Kinda.

He based it on his prior experience "inventing" Leinyere, which went well as a crowdsourced world. A lot of the people involved are Leinyere alumni.

So - he should get a room with his besties.

Multi person convo would surely be preferable.

We have one. You can only include six people and we need space for more. Hence, this.

I feel kind of like I'm watching my friend get invited to a party while I'm standing next to him, then the person is like, "Oh, hey, Davion, what's up?" and then just walks away.

That's cool. It seems like some work for this one. I didn't want your invite anyway!

It’s not going to be very private is it?

Well, like the man says, "none of our other solutions are working, so please ignore this thread."

This is our third attempt at a discussion venue, lol.

 

[AlinaX]

I think it would be cool to make this an open invite, but there's some benefit in sorting out the furniture before opening the doors.

Come on, there are dozens of things open to everyone. I don't begrudge anyone their private stuff.

Might I suggest good old fashioned email or a shared cloud based document?

I enjoy this workspace. It's quite versatile.

We're doing that too, lol. But we can't seem to capture everyone with any one method.

 

[AlinaX]

It's a learning experience.

 

[EmilyMiller]

Maybe some mirrors arranged in an array on a series of hilltops?

Em - here to help

This is a thought...

The pigeons didn't work, either.

Like this?

Like this?

Might be a good idea for this thread.

Or nuke it from orbit.

You are so going to peek at this thread, aren't you?

I would never, ever, ever… OK yes.

It sounds like your invitational event might have invited some half-hearted attendees.
