Note: The Hexbear People's Committee is an RPG/LARP and has no bearing on anything outside of being a "Model UN" style simulation of a political party.
Voting on HPC Resolution 001-1 isn't closed yet, but it looks like it will pass, so in the interest of "getting this show on the road" I'm going to open discussion on the initial topics from the "schedule" section of that resolution. If there is a last second wave of "Don't Pass" votes, this will all be deleted and the revolutionary cause will be dead.
It passed yay!
I think it's best to focus on roles over the resolution process, but the two are intertwined so there is discussion to be had on both. Hopefully we can get these section drafted into a Resolution as soon as tomorrow to be put for a vote.
A side-topic is to nominate names for the Party that we should start considering.
One thing I want to focus on is additional participation. I think the initial two posts (the idea and the first proposal) got higher participation is that they were in the biggest comm - r/chapotraphouse. But this thread was in c/ttrpg, which is basically dead. Literally all the comments are just us three, except for some people who wanted "in" on the discussions so they said "me too" to subscribing.
So, by continuing the discussions in this thread, no new people were exposed to this idea, nor were the people who showed interest updated whenever we responded to each other.
One idea I have is to make new posts in c/ttrpg periodically, tagging everyone who's shown interest. Maybe it can summarize the discussion so far and encourage people to comment.
Absolutely agree, I originated this concept myself, but I don't want to put it on rails toward anything in particular, so I wanted to see how this initial discussion thread would evolve. My feeling is that some people are less interested in these initial stages and we'll pick up some momentum once we incorporate the "Party", and start telling our story.
Part of this is a balance between spamming the site with our own niche activity (which will tick off the BC), and posting to generate activity. Hopefully the three of us can draft a Resolution that people can discuss. Easier for people to dogpile a draft Resolution that may have issues than it is to create one, which should generate some participation. I've been tied up with some offline stuff this week, but I may have time tonight or tomorrow morning to write something up that we can put to a vote, if reading this wants to do the same based on the comments in this discussion post, they're more than welcome (post it in this thread so we can review it before putting it to a vote).
