Yeah I think we all know kids will get in if they want too. Personally I think its more a question of parental supervision on their side then of us putting up disclaimers. But thats a whole new discussion :P

I slipped in places I wasn't suppose to be when I was a kid my little inquiring minds wanted to know what was behind the locked doors that I wasn't permitted behind....I regret doing it today because i know it was wrong but that doesn't help back then. (Sorry I am babbling)

Lol well same here, and its only because we know the effects that we would like to prevent others from making those mistakes.... :twisted:

The disclaimer gate/next palace links should be easy setup...we almost always setup one at BTM even if it isn't required when doing Public tours.

When it gets relaxed is when it becomes a problem. As long as participants know that if the jump gate isn't there their work won't be seen they are usually very willing to put it in .

Really? I'm surprised, I do know a lot of Palace owners don't really know what they are doing and try to put things off not to look to much like a n00b. But with proper tutorials it should be simple. I also think one of the major problems in the past events was time. The deadlines where to close together, I think 2 weeks before the event people should have things setup. There will be one week left for checking and making sure the games are setup properly.

In the end the palace owners know that it will get traffic into their palace so they want to do everything they can to get that done. As long as they know what needs to be done that is.

I'm sure if we decide to build something together based on mutual understanding and respect things should work out.

A good place to start is make a list of people needed to organize and let people sign up for certain functions. Get a group together to work on ideas for content, graphics, linking elements, game elements and general planning.

Perhaps we just have to set up a even forum for this with those elements? And anyone who wants to help run this can sign up to be a moderator, we have a calendar we can fill out with deadlines for submissions, tour checks etc.

I also think that a web page would be useful, to display the rules, list of contacts, palaces signed up to the event and a pic of the jump gate ( if one is decided on ), event buttons etc. I am willing to donate some of my personal web space for this and keep it updated, if needed, or, it may be better to use this site if there is available space.Or perhaps a link from here to mine. And yes, I also agree that we need to set up a working group, so that everyone knows what they are doing. ( This way the body family, somebody, nobody, anybody, everybody can sneak in and mess things up ).

Thanks for the offer.
But I think its better to keep it on Palace Planet. Here we can use the whole user system, it is easy to setup a moderated or private forum and redirect anyone as well. We have a user mail system for contacts and with the gallery for artwork and a file submission setup anyone can submit their ideas and work.

As long as it doesn't take more then 10GB we are safe :P

I do however think its is very important that all volunteers that help organize an event like this get access and permissions to moderate / administrate the tools we can use here.

Perhaps we should set up a forum for this and see who wants to help moderate / decide how to set it up?

Any volunteers and what are your requests / suggestions?

Personally I am for a semi open set up where people can read the general discussions.

What you guys / girls think?

Pooch_1 · #34 01-08-2007, 02:08 AM

No prob maarten, was just a thought, and yes it is better to keep it here. I am still willing to volunteer my services, and I agree that an open forum is best, that way people will see that we are serious about this event, and may even toss a few ideas of their own in, who knows? :-D

Dauphine · #35 01-11-2007, 05:34 AM

Well, as I have said, I will do as much as I can to help. I feel it's something worthwhile. I believe that keeping the brainstorming/discussion/center of operations based on one webspace is definitely for the best. Anyone/everyone that wants to toss ideas in should. It's a community event for a reason.

A suggested date Friday May 4th-Saturday May 5th? That's about 5 months away. Before any major holidays here in the area that I am in. That way the holidays cannot get in the way of things being accomplished.

Theme, yes, most definitely need a theme. Games are good the only thing that we need to keep in mind and I don't mind saying this because even though I have a good dialup connection not everyone that will want to be involved does. With different connections we also have to look at making sure the scripting involved with the games or what not are not so heavy that they lag out and kill the ones without the high speed connections.

Adult/alternative palace I'll say it again join join join. We all know that kids are smarter and smarter if they want in one they'll get in. I agree with Maart on the parental guidance deal. We can hash out the details and rules as we go but one thing is for sure they do need to be clear.

This is about fun but it needs to organized so that there isn't a bunch of chaos, mayhem, and feuding individuals. Let's make sure we get this framework built solidly so it does't fall down around our ears.

maarten · #36 01-11-2007, 08:06 AM

You know what? I think we can start planning the event, sounds to me like we got enough like minded people here, and I'm sure more will join in.

Beginning of May sounds good to me, 5th of May is a national holiday here: WWII Liberation day I guess would be the best translation for it.

But its on a Saturday so sounds to me like the perfect event day.
Now I guess the next simple question is: What to call the event?

Perhaps something like:

The Palace Event
Palace Around the World
Your Ok I'm ok! (just kidding... man like groovy!)
Chat me up Scotty (if we get a lot of adult Palaces joining in :))
Jump
The Palace Ride
Chat Run Chat

Ok I give up, you guys figure out a cool name lol

one last try:

world widePalace Jump

Dauphine · #37 01-12-2007, 03:27 AM

Springin up Palaces
Cinco de Mayo (the obvious no one could forget the date)
Spring Festival of Palaces (carnival like theme this could vary)

Laughs ok will definitely have to sleep on it to come up with some acceptable names but yes we definitely need to get the ground work laid. Five months could come and go quite quickly.

Because I felt we where getting stuck in a adult gate discussion and not moving on with the event itself I have split this up into several separate discussions. Please check out the sub-forum to see where you can add your voice.

Some people have suggested this was turning into another hop, the answer is simple: we jump, but we definitely do NOT hop. Please don't use this to vent frustrations with other events, we have nothing to do with those and for a good reason.

After 4 pages of "this event is what we make it TOGETHER" it should be clear that: "this event is what we make it TOGETHER" I don't know any other way of putting this. And anyone suggesting otherwise is being very silly.

Don't see anyone representing your points of view? Well thats only because you didn't post them here yourself. The only thing that has been decided so far is:
- We want this to be FUN.
- We want this to be planned ahead so nobody runs out of time.
- This should represent the people and Palaces that have joined.

Don't think your specific issues are discussed here? You can let us know in the right thread or make a new one! Otherwise all I can do is invite you all to join in and make this happen!

To start with..I think we need to leave past problems and differences out of this event.

We are starting brand new and should not bring any old grievences along.

I think the May/Spring idea is great. Am all for it =))

Hi Riverspirit you are right on that one, I totally agree with you.
