You and others are welcome not to trust it, but this paranoia just makes people look more foolish then anything in this particular instance. If you don't like it? Don't show up/sign up. That simple. The mass who happens to go I'm sure will have no problem sharing what went on to show people how harmless this whole thing really was.
It's that we still don't trust the intentions.
I'm hoping it's harmless. Harmless means unproductive. The real harm of these things is when people start putting their heads together. The itinerary and organization do seem to ensure that FCs can only have a minimum of actual contact outside of their actual speech, so perhaps I am wrong. Perhaps this has been sufficiently neutered out the gate.
Trust me man, I worked out checks and balances as best I could before even posting.
Here's what I am hopeful for ok, I'll give you an example. I got a pm stating that a fc wanted to go. They also stated their main thing is the fc runs an IC bookstore. I thought this is amazing, Erik would love something like this. Now barring the PM, I would honestly never had known there was such a fc with such a hook. Going to the Summit as one not organizing, when they hit the stage and said "we are XYZ..... and we have a IC bookstore" me being there, or someone being there that knows me would hear that and pass that info on to me.
Its not a planning board, everyone really needs to get that. FCs are very specific organisms, the Red Wings are military/covert Ops, we don't have a bookstore. Us sitting in on this will que us in to FCs that have things we may enjoy as rpers and players. By "setting our wears out" for everyone to see, maybe we can help someone, or someone can help us.
I'll go on public record now and say the RWs will say what we are, and then say "we are looking for a military doctor, and also we have talked with a few smaller FCs and talked about us smaller guys getting together to make airships. Any other small FCs want/need in on this?" And then we are sitting down and letting the next group talk. That's it.
