Why do things need to get better? What is the problem that is preventing things from getting better, and what does better look like? What is the evidence of this problem?
I did touch on some of the potential problems and worst-case scenarios from doing nothing in my post. I'm not saying that things are bad - Because they're not. I'm more trying to highlight that whilst a summit like this could lead to conditions worsening/drama, so could not doing anything.Â
Again, one of the things I hope to see is people finding the courage to run larger events who have not before, as simply leaving this responsibility to the "usual" people who do it (Not saying that new ones don't ever sprout up on their own either.) may result in burnouts and a dip in larger events. I quite enjoy large events, so I would see that as something negative.Â
Of other things, this provides a chance for FC Leads/Officers that do not frequent the RPC to partake and get acquainted with people, it gives new FC's an opportunity to show up and mark their presence - Things that might not happen of natural ways. I know from my own experience with KinRP that it can be very hard to find anyone to work with towards something when you don't really know anyone. I feel like we need to pay attention to the fact that there's a balance to keep between doing too much and doing too little - It would not be right to say things haven't changed since housing got introduced, and I'm all in favor for nipping things in the bud before it becomes a bigger issue that is subsequently harder to deal with. FC leads and their officers can do a bunch of things that can have a bunch of positive effects on the community - But those positive effects do not involve developing a mind-controlling technique wherein we force everyone to accept Pastel Pink as the one true color.Â
Would like to highlight that I am also not talking in definitely's, I don't know how things will go in the end. I could be totally wrong. We'll see ^^Â
Also as a side-note to Zhavi: I've been passing on the knowledge to a few fc's that I know don't frequent the RPC so far, and one of them has signed up ^^ I don't know if anyone else has been doing something like that, but it does sound like a good idea to try and get it out to others.
