Ok, so this was attempted awhile back, I remember because Dez attempted it after I held a memorial for the victims of the VT shootings.  Anyways, I'm just making this thread to see if there's any interest for a Town hall discussion on various of issues with the Matrix community.  We'd get together once a week, and discuss something completely different every week.  The topic would be choosen by the community beforehand.

Also, yes, this is an OCC event. 

So, anyone interested?

We really do need something like this, and it would be a good way to bring certain things to the table and to touch base with the community to see where we want to go...

However, I can foresee some of the big egos taking this as an oppurtunity to trash talk, whine, power-play, soapbox and generally derail the conversation with needless drama. I say we should go for it, but do so with the expectation that the troublemakers will do what they've always done...

Just set a time and place, and The Brethren will do our best to be there.  At these meetings, when someone says something which angers or annoys, just put them on /ignore and be done with it.  Individual tolerance levels will determine just how "quiet" it gets at that point.  Any MxO related topic is welcome for us, shall we start suggesting some here on this thread?

#36300547866 03/01/2009 16:37:11 Re:MxO Townhall Discussion

I would be more than happy to help your cause on the Vector Server.

There will be moderators to keep things civil and on track.

My plan is to have three mods, one from Mech, one from Zion, and one from Merv.  That way no one can scream bias or favortisim, and 3 means that if we ask the Mods to vote, it won't end in a tie.  When it comes to things like this, I like to have an odd number.

So if you like to be a Mod for this reoccuring event, then send me a in game e-mail or PM stating your org alliance.

#36300547897 03/01/2009 18:46:22 Re:MxO Townhall Discussion

If it's on a weekend count me in. I don't care which server it happens on.

Advertise a time and server and, if I remember, I'll pitch up in one form or another.

#36300548105 03/02/2009 15:53:53 Re:MxO Townhall Discussion

 i'll go! even if the scheduled time conflicts with my schedule i'd be very interested in a chat log or recap. but i'd definately try to make it.

#36300548108 03/02/2009 15:58:51 Re:MxO Townhall Discussion

Good luck.

#36300548132 03/02/2009 16:31:42 Re:MxO Townhall Discussion

Ok, I've decided on Recursion as the server, and I already have a machinist Moderator, all I need now is a Merv moderator and a Zion moderator. 

#36300548194 03/02/2009 21:14:22 Re:MxO Townhall Discussion

But who will moderate the moderators?

inb4 Who chose them?

#36300550203 03/12/2009 22:58:47 Re:MxO Townhall Discussion

Ok first Townhall meeting will be 3/18/08 at 6:00pm MCT.

I'll post about location later.

So while I pick out the location, everyone start thinking about the topic they want to discuss.

If this is going to be a "community" thing, then they should be made aware and represented on all ends.  The more people know the more will show up and contribute.  I know Vector doesn't have the constant flow of people as say Syntax, or even Recursion at some points, but we still make up part of the community.  Aren't we part of this "town?"

Why not create one on Vector as well, and not limit these meetings to just syntax and recursion.

This man was all but ignored, even after he offered to help.

I am not trying to start anything, but you need to be clear on your intentions when you use words like "Town Hall Meeting."

Just trying to look out for my part of the "town"  

#36300550231 03/13/2009 08:07:48 Re:MxO Townhall Discussion

I don't believe the lack of Vector as an option was intended as a slight to the server, I would guess it was more due to the hostile nature possibly wreaking havoc with a meeting that's supposed to be a friendly get together.

There is a few clubs that takes away your flag. Messiah in Chelsea, and the one in Dannah. Could use those for meetings

True, but they can be a pain to get to if you don't normally play on Vector and are rolling a new character just for the meeting. (and I'm not sure if Vector-Parallaxis is pacified or not)

I'm assuming, anyway, that Meta will be choosing a location easily accessible even if you're only level 2 on the chosen server.

#36300550249 03/13/2009 10:15:17 Re:MxO Townhall Discussion

In the past escorts and teleports have been provided to events and meetings on Vector for those who find the hostile nature a problem.  I am sure this can be provided this time around as well, provided we have enough volunteers to help with this.

#36300550348 03/13/2009 19:58:03 Re:MxO Townhall Discussion

Dannah Heights Club Sphinx is pacified as well.

#36300550368 03/14/2009 01:38:17 Re:MxO Townhall Discussion

Heh, I'm sure if another meeting is to follow after this one, it will be done on a different server. I see no reason why not to do the next one on Vector then.

with all the time changes this month, can you please verify that time into any time zone except MCT for me? 

with the differnt definatitions of MCT i never know what time MCT is except in the winter months.

If anyone knows of a link to any offical statement of MCT, that would help too.

if its 5pm pacific (midnight gmt) i'll be way late. if its 6pm (01:00gmt) i might make it or be slightly late. Support Group is 4pm pac (11pm gmt) that night lasting for an avg of 1.5 hours and then i have another short meeting right after.

Tonight Townhall meeting will be held at Debir Court on the Recursion Server.

#36300551076 03/18/2009 15:01:13 Re:MxO Townhall Discussion

Hmm.. not sure if I will be able to make it or not, but hopefully it goes well in either case.

#36300551122 03/19/2009 00:35:16 Re:MxO Townhall Discussion

Couldnt make this one because of work.  How did this turn out?

#36300551148 03/19/2009 08:23:44 Re:MxO Townhall Discussion

Oh man sorry I didn't make it to the town meeting. I didn't even know that there was a Town Hall Meeting till Catsi came and asked me if I went. I will check this topic frequently to see when the next meeting is. Well atleast till April then I can make it based on when we do our player event that day.

Great idea by the way.

#36300551190 03/19/2009 12:48:34 Re:MxO Townhall Discussion

The event went well, everyone who took part was respectful, and we only had one person being disruptive.

FYI: DO NOT FLAG DURING THIS EVENT!

Thank you very much. 

Next Townhall meeting will be on the

Vector Server,

Club Sphinx,

Thursday 3/26/09 6:00pm MCT.

I am moving it to Thursday so I can attend my weekly Pagan meeting on Wednesday.

#36300551275 03/20/2009 02:46:57 Re:MxO Townhall Discussion

How about a weekend and an earlier time so that people from far far away get a chance to attend, too?
