Armed Forces Day

Many nations around the world observe some kind of Armed Forces Day to honor their military forces. It is celebrated in the United States as a day to appreciate all active duty service members. This day is not to be confused with Veterans Day or Memorial Day.

Josh [TNU] 18-May-19 04:22 PM

Well seems like things are progressing well

Ryker 18-May-19 04:22 PM

soo

as from generations and generations at this kinda of events

i find a chair

and try to sleep it out

𝓪𝓴𝓾𝓶𝓲 18-May-19 04:29 PM

This is the end of these panels! Time to go onto the next two.

[22] greenfelt22 18-May-19 04:30 PM

Can the survey be anonymous?

𝓪𝓴𝓾𝓶𝓲 18-May-19 04:31 PM

Yes

That's why names are optional

[22] greenfelt22 18-May-19 04:32 PM

But emails are required.

So that’s not exactly anonymous.

𝓪𝓴𝓾𝓶𝓲 18-May-19 04:33 PM

Ohh

did i add that?

sorry

ill remove it

[22] greenfelt22 18-May-19 04:33 PM

Lt. Pholin Duyzer [SB118] 18-May-19 04:34 PM

I'm confused... according to the #panel-schedule should the panel on Alien languages be now?

𝓪𝓴𝓾𝓶𝓲 18-May-19 04:34 PM

That one is off, please use the one on https://roleplay.fandom.com/wiki/2019_SciWorld_Online_Convention#Schedule

1

There were a lot of rearrangements

Andorian at Heart 18-May-19 04:34 PM

Aline languages is 2 hours away

Lt. Pholin Duyzer [SB118] 18-May-19 04:34 PM

Oh...

Josh [TNU] 18-May-19 04:35 PM

Yeah that’s why I just haven’t updated mine because we moved over to the webpage

There’s just too much adjusting to change the entire document completely right now

So use the page on the wiki that’s the correct schedule

Lt. Pholin Duyzer [SB118] 18-May-19 04:36 PM

Maybe say that in the channel.

sighs FallFest had a better time schedule for us Euros.

Josh [TNU] 18-May-19 04:38 PM

That’s usually how it goes though… I mean one of the events is more America centric and the other is usually more European centric

It’s just the joys of time zones I mean I have some friends in Japan who would cry because the times are just so broken

Time zones yeah

Lol

If you try to accommodate America Europe is left out if you try to accommodate Europe Asia is left out if you try to accommodate Australia then well pretty much hope people can be around at all times

And then there’s people like poor Kim

Blondie 18-May-19 04:39 PM

timeszones, man

[22] greenfelt22 18-May-19 04:39 PM

The long standing idea with SciWorld and FallFest is that one event is to favor one part of the world, and the other event to favor the other part.

1

With that said, every FF, SciWorld, and even Khitomer earlier this year since 2017 have been highly favored to Americans and Brits.

Josh [TNU] 18-May-19 04:41 PM

Yeah

Ryker 18-May-19 04:41 PM

oof

Blondie 18-May-19 04:41 PM

I'm in California and PST, and yeah, it get weird.

Josh [TNU] 18-May-19 04:41 PM

That’s also usually because the organizing personnel are different time zones from other groups usually most of the organizing people are in the United States

[OPP | SU | TNU] Kim 18-May-19 04:41 PM

❤

MajTom 18-May-19 04:42 PM

I like Sciworld

𝓪𝓴𝓾𝓶𝓲 18-May-19 04:42 PM

Yeah Blame me for the bad time though I was the one who suggested 10AM

Josh [TNU] 18-May-19 04:42 PM

Like only with in the last two events I’ve taken on kind of a technical role with helping manage this discord and one thing I notice is that time is the thing there are people around a lot

Blondie 18-May-19 04:42 PM

having organizers and panelist from different areas/timezones would be intersting to keep things more netural

𝓪𝓴𝓾𝓶𝓲 18-May-19 04:42 PM

but subjectively there really is no "good time"

1

good idea actually

Ryker 18-May-19 04:42 PM

iam not a writer i was forced to come here

FORCED

[OPP | SU | TNU] Kim 18-May-19 04:42 PM

I am actually in Hawaii so my time is off from mainlanders.

Josh [TNU] 18-May-19 04:42 PM

I mean initially the previous events like long long ago for this

Was designed to be a multiple day event

Lt. Pholin Duyzer [SB118] 18-May-19 04:43 PM

It might have been me but it felt like FallFest had more people attending than SciWorld, so there might be a better time.

Josh [TNU] 18-May-19 04:43 PM

But most convention so that way

Multiple day events

enterDanement 18-May-19 04:44 PM

I did say in our lobby Pholin that it'll be at 1530PDT

Also hello!

Lt. Pholin Duyzer [SB118] 18-May-19 04:44 PM

Woops.

Josh [TNU] 18-May-19 04:44 PM

As for the timing that is something that can be discussed by the organizing committee in the future I mean one of my goals is to sort of create and organizing committee with Charles in an attempt to basically keep the conventions separate from any organization

Lt. Pholin Duyzer [SB118] 18-May-19 04:44 PM

Heyo!

enterDanement 18-May-19 04:44 PM

I just got off work which is why I asked to reschedule

2 or some days ago

Josh [TNU] 18-May-19 04:45 PM

There honestly should be like a charitable organization that literally exists just to maintain this and other inter-organization services

Kate 18-May-19 04:45 PM

I actually like this timing. Even if they last till 2am

Josh [TNU] 18-May-19 04:46 PM

Because from role-playing websites to role-playing organizations I mean it’s getting better but there is still this thought that one website is better than another

Like on one website that I assist operating one of the administrators deleted me mentioning that this was a thing

Blondie 18-May-19 04:46 PM

or one form of rp is better than another (edited)

Josh [TNU] 18-May-19 04:46 PM

It’s like a certain website organizers are trying to make their community only come to them

And there’s a lot more out in the world than just one role-playing website we all need to work together

Blondie 18-May-19 04:47 PM

I like it bieng separate like this

Yes

Azalea 18-May-19 04:47 PM

.

Josh [TNU] 18-May-19 04:47 PM

Yeah this definitely should remain separate

Blondie 18-May-19 04:47 PM

work together (edited)

dammit

[22] greenfelt22 18-May-19 04:48 PM

I don’t think the timing is the issue. I didn’t know this was happening until yesterday. Might recommend increasing the advertising budget.

Josh [TNU] 18-May-19 04:48 PM

I had mentioned this to beeman Weeks ago

Blondie 18-May-19 04:48 PM

Also, there are probably more like me that aren't part of a club/organization

Kate 18-May-19 04:49 PM

I heard it only this morning

[22] greenfelt22 18-May-19 04:49 PM

And I’m stealing a few moments away from my day trip just to pop in.

Don’t know what to tell you there, @Josh [TNU]

Josh [TNU] 18-May-19 04:49 PM

Yeah I’m actually considering along with asking to create an organizing committee creating a permanent website for these conventions

There needs to be better communication and organizing

And that’s not just on the part of these events like groups as a whole I really need to you know be part of their larger community

[22] greenfelt22 18-May-19 04:50 PM

I would strongly recommend using Phoenix’s RPG recruitment server to advertise.

Blondie 18-May-19 04:50 PM

that is always key @Josh [TNU]

[22] greenfelt22 18-May-19 04:50 PM

There’s a good portion of the community there and they can help spread the world.

You can’t go for community leaders alone. You’ve got to find the really active members and they’ll push the word out.

Word of mouth is far superior to a centralized website.

Blondie 18-May-19 04:51 PM

<.< OH , right, there were two Phoenix's at one time

Josh [TNU] 18-May-19 04:51 PM

The other problem I have realized is that so many of these external recruitment discord servers and websites are managed by people who pretty much let drama bound

[22] greenfelt22 18-May-19 04:52 PM

Had I known, I would have helped. I did encourage a lot of the 22nd Fleet to be here, but the short notice really limited our involvement.

Josh [TNU] 18-May-19 04:52 PM

Between individual webmaster is deleting advertisements for these type of events like what happened earlier today with me and outside recruiting organizations allowing drama that happened

It’s kind of dicey advertising in certain places

[22] greenfelt22 18-May-19 04:52 PM

“so many” does not equal all.

Josh [TNU] 18-May-19 04:53 PM

Though I do think a centralized website would help especially for archival purposes

[22] greenfelt22 18-May-19 04:53 PM

That I agree with.

Blondie 18-May-19 04:53 PM

I agree as well

𝓪𝓴𝓾𝓶𝓲 18-May-19 04:54 PM

Yeah. I agree we could have done better with advertisement, so I do think that's something we need to take into consideration next year.

Blondie 18-May-19 04:54 PM

nods

Josh [TNU] 18-May-19 04:55 PM

Well and that’s also why I think that there should be kind of a permanent organizing committee I mean obviously host organizations would be involved but there is you know a bunch of volunteers who help ensure that the convention is advertised, maintained and archived along with handling kind of the press relations aspects of things

Blondie 18-May-19 04:56 PM

I'm right there with ya on this. I like how it brings other roleplayers and communities together

Josh [TNU] 18-May-19 04:56 PM

And I mean Charles can’t literally do it all himself

Blondie 18-May-19 04:56 PM

Nope!

[OPP | SU | TNU] Kim 18-May-19 04:57 PM
