TOPIC FOR DISCUSSION:
WHY ARE WE HERE?
- to boldly go where no one has gone before.
- to make a grid that is safe for everyone.
- to make a bond with multiple strands, like fellowship, creativity, playfulness. Some of us are creating environments. Others are writing stories and acting in them.
- develop abilities or skills that will have application in RL.
- satisfaction and success in virtual adds to your RL quality.
- we enjoy playing characters in a visual, virtual environment.
- I don't just think 'what do we need to RP Trek', I think... 'if this was a real colony on a far flung planet, who and what would it have?'
- Gene Roddenberry would agree that scientists and philosophers and artists and engineers and so on would create a place, a foundation, a centre for creativity, where minds could come and share their thoughts and ideas and visions.
- how can we attract more people to be part of this vision?
"Mild Meld is a meeting of minds, a playful tossing out of ideas, silly and serious... the wilder the better... no idea is criticized. We may find that that wild idea and this crazy thought meld together into something really cool, or we may just have collective coffee and rambunctious fellowship. It's all good." As Gene Roddenberry said: "To be different is not necessarily to be ugly; to have a different idea is not necessarily to be wrong. The worst possible thing is for all of us to begin to look and talk and act and think alike."
