This is the OOC / discussion thread for the Second Esquarian Summit. It has been a while since the last one (as well as the other) died. In light of the recent unfortunate events happening in the region, I believe it is about time that we participate in a region-wide RP that will once again unite the region as a whole in harmonious bickering.
There will be two major goals that the pre-RP discussion phase should achieve in order to keep this one alive for a longer time:
1) The host of the Summit, including the nomination and bidding phase
Since multiple players have expressed their wish to host the Summit, the host shall be determined in the way it should be... bidding!
All countries that are currently in the region of Esquarium can nominate themselves as Host, who will then submit material regarding the avenue of the Summit should they succeed in obtaining the position. Once the nomination phase has ended, voting will commerce in this thread, with each player having one vote.
Current bids to host:
- Miyako of Sakan, Tuthina (14)
- Kenyen, Nantai, Luziyca (1)
- La Playa, Atlantia Creek (2)
- Vadopolis, Pavonistade (2)
- Namo, Namor (1)
2) Agenda of the Summit
After reading the last Summit RP, I believe one of the major reasons it died down before the end is the lack of a clear agenda. Without the "next topic" to be pushed towards, it is easy for RPs to lost their track and momentum when the characters inevitably catch themselves in bickering. As such, it would be beneficial if we can determine at least a rough agenda for the Summit.
All players currently in the region of Esquarium can propose topics. Ones that fulfil our standard will be added to the agenda. If there are too many topics in the agenda, some of them might be removed from the list depending on the circumstances.
Current list of topics:
- Climate change and solutions
- Encouragement of free trade between countries
- International humanitarian organisation recognition
- International law and enforcement
- Intellectual property and copyright
- International terrorism
Players are free to discuss everything else in the thread, as long as they are relevant to the Summit.
