Topic: Incoming Transmission Podcast #7 - Player Panel
The first attempt at a player panel was well intentioned and both Gremrod and myself thought we might end up having to let people down in order to keep the number of panellists to a sensible and manageable number. Unfortunately, we got caught out by that horrible thing called real life and got caught short. Podcast #5 still went ahead, we discussed a variety of topics with Styx from M2S and have received some very good feedback.
So, here as promised, is the startup for podcast #7, tentatively named "Perpetuum Player Panel, now with added panel members!"
The principles, rules and guidelines are below. The aim of this is to get the views of different players across the game world and not have it end up as a slanging match.
Panellists must be able to use Skype and speak clearly in English
The podcast will be recorded at 2100 GMT+1 on Sunday 12th June and it will take around 2 hours
The panel will be split into 4 approximately 15 minute segments covering 4 topic areas
Each member of the panel will get a chance to comment on the topic and reply to the other panel members in each segment; we will aim to give each panellist the opportunity for first comment
Should we get sufficient response, we will aim to send out the topics for discussion to the panellists ahead of time
Each member will get a 2 minute close down period at the end of the podcast to reflect and offer a final opinion without interference from anyone (even Grem and myself)
The aim is to keep the podcast to an 80 minutes maximum length
Gremrod and myself will act as chair persons, we will mute or cut off discussion if required to keep things civil
This is a mature, repectful discussion, everyone will have a different view and those views should be respected as you would wish your own to be, anyone on the podcast straying past the bounds of civility may be removed
This is an adult oriented podcast and as such there will be a level of adult language used, this however must be kept within certain bounds and we reserve the right to edit as required to keep things constructive
We try not to heavily edit the podcast post recording to try and keep the flow and energy of the recording. This will also mean that any corrective action Grem or myself have to take to keep things civil may be kept in and may end up being broadcast to all and sundry. Panellists should conduct themselves accordingly
Topic ideas are invited from the community. Consider that the panel will hopefully be made up of differing factions/opinions so please keep ideas to general game topics rather than "I think x is a crap corps, what does everyone on the panel think". That type of topic will NOT be discussed
Composition of the panel is open to anyone wanting to put their opinion out there. Please either post here on the forum or contact Grem or myself
The panel will have a maximum of 4 members plus Grem and myself, if we do get a larger number of volunteers, Grem and myself reserve the right to pick the composition of the panel in order to provide the most interesting debate. Anyone not chosen this time will be put at the top of the list for future panels
Overall, we want this to be an interesting and informative panel for the benefit of the community. As they say, variety is the spice of life and we certainly want to encourage this with Perpetuum. Please post questions, ideas, topics, offers to sit on the panel below and we will try to answer and respond as best we can.
Discuss!!!!!
