I like that idea. I'd prefer big meetings, as they would give more people a chance to voice their concerns and hear what has to be said by the GMs. It'd be easier than trying to pry information out of the few who went to the private meetings, or relying on just hearsay. And it'd be nice for us Humans, who don't really have any special organization, to see which players (and GMs) are actually interested in our race.

<< what do you guys think about semi-regular racial meetings?>>
I would support and be heavily interested in anything that furthered racial development in any form. Vivan los Toggies!
<<We could have either big, publicized meetings every few months or so, or smaller, more private meetings more frequently. Keep in mind that private meetings would more likely involve a 'sampling' of players of each race each time, so not everyone would be notified of every single one.>>
Im more a fan of small group communication, but i think it would largely depend on the focus of the meeting. In general, id favor the small group scenario, easier to kick ideas around and bounce them off others in that type of environment. Either way i hope this pans out, i love racial stuffs.
Thanks,

I like the small group option. Large groups can descend into whine sessions too fast and become wholly unproductive. Large meetings can take much longer and accomplish far less.

Great idea for racial meetings. As far as big or small, whatever you find that works best. Good thinking on the meeting idea nonetheless.

I think a mix of both large and small meetings would work best...

And remember Nirveli gets to go to the Elf one too.

Re: Meetings on 04/01/2004 07:49 PM CST
the problem I see with smaller meetings is the likelyhood that some people will never get asked to participate. Either because of timing differences or just bad luck and not knowing when the meeting will be. If its a large scheduled meeting, everyone at least has a chance to arrange it into their schedule and try to get their opinion heard via the sign up list at the meeting. If there is a way for the GMs to ensure that everyone will get chosen at least once, then I'd be in favor of the smaller meetings too.

Re: Meetings on 04/01/2004 11:24 PM CST
We'll probably do a mixture of both. Large for major things, small for discussions, based on the opinions so far. I'm also considering maybe doing up a website for logs of the things and so on, maybe archiving pertinent racial info, as well, since I know I at least get frustrated that a lot of stuff's been shared on the boards, and it's hard to keep record of all of 'em. We'll see, eh?

Just LJ it. You know how to work one of those things.

Sounds VERY good. Sign me up for a slot in some of those meetings as well.

I agree, the mix would be best, as it would allow lots of people to show up and show an interest, and then the smaller meetings would allow better communication of ideas.
