I'm not going to read intent in your post due to there being no inflection in it, but I wasn't attempting to write a dissertation on the concept. I'm worried when things like this get posted:
You and I and everyone remember as clear as day the sort of flak the now-infamous Poison Water event received. We do not need some council of people here to permit or agree on what is or is not acceptable. Telling people to just not follow things doesn't change that from becoming exclusionary, which was my entire point: If you get the free companies with the most presence on the server to all adhere to a temporary Garlean Invasion storyline and some people disagree with it, you've now just fractured continuity for everyone standing on the outside.
I believe you are doing this with the best intentions, and I think you should go through with it as everyone else seems to be excited, but I am just trying to bring to the forefront of everyone's mind that this is not some RP-governing body.
Your goals are admirable, but consider that those of us who want to RP outside of our houses already do so. There's never a lack of roleplay in certain locations, and there's already a Making Connections board here to try and coordinate with other FCs for things. It just feels like you are taking initiative here where it may not be asked for. Do you think small FCs need to be instructed to talk to one another to do airship stuff? It is a way that they might benefit from the Summit, yes, but I'm not sold on the necessity. I am clearly in the wrong thinking that given the response of the thread so far.
Someone has to watch the watchmen, though. Consider this your check. I don't want to further distract from your event.
