Well if you are set to distrust me or the idea of what we are doing, again I use the term "infomercial", all I can say is relax, and if you are the slightest bit nervous please there is no need to go, but feel free to watch the stream to put your mind at ease.
Also totally off topic, I am curious since you brought up academia? In another life I was an Officer in the US Navy, and am now a registered nurse. As effect to that I am blessed to have 3 bachelors degrees, one in Human Management, and one in Computer Systems Engineering (Hardware) from my Navy days, and of course my Science of Nursing. I don't meet alot of academics here. We should hang out and chat sometime, I love getting heady with others on high topics. You down?
I have enough of that in my day-to-day, thank you.
I'm also uncertain what the value of watching a stream of pre-made macros describing guilds will be. As mixers go, holding one with parliamentary procedures and limited speaking times, coupled with severe restrictions on the number of members able to attend, don't seem like the best way to grasp the character of an FC's playstyle and membership. Especially when the actual organization of contact between FCs will most likely be done in private by the leaders themselves. I'd either be watching things I could see on the RPC or the kind of inter-group collusion that leads to people forming RP councils in earnest.
If you're harmless, that's all well and good. As I said, I'd prefer that. Past and frequent experience has shown me otherwise.
Not trying to be a pain, just seeking clarity, you said you get enough of that day to day. Do you mean the streaming and discussion or the scholarly dialog? I would really love to talk to someone about advancements that would both understand and appreciate them. But if you won't all well, I'll stick to my physics hangouts lol.
