So I am sure by now we've all heard about the summit that's going to happen. Check out the thread here, see what you think, hopefully everyone who participates will walk away with something productive.
I'm a little skeptical but hey, I'm a jerk.
The RPC is a pretty great vehicle for our lovely little community. We've seen people, FCs, plots, and stories come together for the rest of us to fawn over. We've seen how people feel about stock photos of fruit salad, or something? I'm really not sure.
What I would like to discuss (without whatever restriction) is: making and maintaining connections. Whether you are a single player, a part of a plot-driven LS, or an FC, you might have come through these parts to make a connection somewhere. Personally my biggest challenge due to several things, my own IRL schedule or lack there of being numero uno, is maintaining those RP relationships. Everybody has their own way of carrying on stories and whatnot but I am in the camp that those stories can't really exist if contact wanes for whatever, or is nonexistent with the case of smaller FCs or new individuals still trying to get their toes in the water.
What kind of experiences have y'all had with opening and maintaining communications with your fellow RP buddies? What kind of successes and failures have you been met with, and how have they impacted your experience? Do you think there are features or other means by which the RPC might make connecting things easier? Are there tools or features that LS or FC leaders might wish to see or utilize to help make events more visible? Are there certain resources folks might want to have on hand for coordinating, preparing, and executing said events?
Please forgive me if I dropped this in the wrong forum! Also please, let's keep this constructive.
