With your HOSTS: Comr4de Smoke and Nuclear Doughnut !
Broadcast weekly from Elwyn Eternity TS3 (voice.elwyneternity.com)
Arstotzkan News Network Youtube Channel
We're looking at weekly talks where we cozy up in the Elwyn Eternity teamspeak and hash out discussion topics. For the first one we're gonna talk about the game's general balance, and have input from people in the audience. As time goes on, and we cover more and more topics, we'll reach out to people particularly versed in the topic to come and join us in our discussions.
How do you contribute to these discussions, you ask? Simply join the Elwyn Eternity teamspeak channel (voice.elwyneternity.com) and join the "Fireside Chat channel". You'll notice that you don't have voice rights, but you can still contribute via chat. This is so we can prevent people from joining in order to disrupt the flow of the conversation. If you demonstrate a consistent pattern of good behavior, we'll elevate you to speaking rights so that you can provide input. We don't discriminate based on background, only by your actions in the channel.
What if I can't make it to these discusssions? You're in luck! Not only will we publish a podcast, but we'll also release the audio of our chats on the Arstotzkan News Network youtube channel! At the very least, you'll be able to listen in on what the community is saying.
The Golden Rules of the Conversations
There's some structure to these discussions. Although they're largely free-form and open-ended, we need to keep these structures for the sake of moderation and civility.
- Be respectful. If you have a grudge with a host, guest speaker, or anyone in the channel, leave it at the door. This is a place for discussion and exchange of ideas. Try to treat someone in accordance with how you would expect to be treated.
- Be thoughtful Please try to contribute in a matter indicative of forethought. These are generally important subjects to the game; while levity never hurt anyone, it CAN stifle discussion and throw the entire chat off topic.
- Be brave enough to speak up. Don't be afraid; in this early alpha, where the devs reach out to the community, everyone's voice matters. If you think your idea is stupid, or nobody will like it, say it anyways. However, if your idea has already been presented, try to clarify why you support it instead of merely suggesting it again.
- The Hosts Have the Final Say in Regards to Channel Moderation. If you are repeatedly disruptive or rude to players in the chat, you will be ejected. The hosts will not tolerate misbehavior. Repeated ejections may lead to a permanent ban from the channel.
