We haven’t, like, held a real speaking engagement for a long time, man, so I went ahead and asked Silly Lilly Pilly if she’d like to discuss the topic “Dissociative Identity Distorder in Zombie Malton”, as she’s pretty much the closest thing we have to an expert on the subject. She’s giving the idea some, like, very serious thought, and looking at gathering her multiple personalities together to handle it, but she brought up the fact that she heard that Quartly was closed, and wondered how that would affect the engagement.
I explained that, like, right now we’re suspending the Open Air policy because of the Dead, but survivors and PKers are still able and welcome to attend. I thought about that some, though, and I figured that I should really broach this topic with the group to see what everyone else thinks.
I mean, I know no one is going to have a problem with one of Malton’s celebrity killers hanging at our Library and delivering a speech (that’s part of why we’re around), but is it okay that we’re doing this and leaving the zombies out? Is there any way around that? Can we see if she’ll simul-cast her speech both inside and outside the Library? Is anyone out there more imaginative than I am, man? Does anyone even care?

It could be also in massive amounts of graffitti. You'd have to walk all around Rotwood to read the whole speech. That's a lot of spraypaint.

She could carve her speech on my back in 4 point font. You would have to read it while I dance around the large print annex.

The simplest means of doing this is to have someone record it with eyewitness or the like and then post it to our sub page on speeches. I think either Fred or Sweetirony was in charge of that so you may want to clear it with one of them or pm Fred.

I am in charge of that in as much as I say DO IT ! Ideally you should have the person tell you through email/forum... 1) What day they are starting (i.e. after server reset on thursday) 2) When they are done chatting. So you can log in and get the iWitness. Place the link at least on the forum, and hopefully on the wiki.

Oh... I hadn't been planning on being in charge of the hefty business of recording an iWitness, man (mainly because I don't use Firefox), so I don't know if I'm, like, the right man for the job.

Well, man, like who can volunteer to provide an eyewitness?

I suggest this: employ a security team for the day of the speech. Bring down the cades an hour or so before the event begins, and the in place security team will deal with any disorderly patrons before and during the engagement. We could even draw this team from the ranks of the librarians.
The cades can then be raised again and any further unruly patrons dealt with.

Thanks for taking that upon yourself, A-Hole, but I sort of, like, put it there because I'd rather not have the Dead reading about it and going, "Oh, hey, they're like, going to have a speaking engagement, so we should totally converge and fuck that up, because we hate roleplayers." So thanks for asking what we all thought. I disagree with your choice, man.

Yeah, I wanted people to know about it when we were ready for people to know about it, man. I didn't exactly want to give the Dead a ton of time to plan an offensive against what is just intended to be an interesting social event.

first, like you have EVER followed up on ANYTHING you have planned in game or on this or any other forum. this is a public event it needs press. the more we have the more people come good and bad. the dead are going to attack us regardless. it's not like they don't know where we are or what we do and mitch when i want your opinion i'll give it you, MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN.

Hey, I've come up with two ideas -- one was for the Open Mic, which it would have been impossible to do up until now, man, and the other was for this speaking engagement. Silly Lilly Pilly wants to do it, and has an idea for how she wants it done, so I, like, intend to see this one through. I haven't actually put forward any other ideas that went over (Library of the Dead was unpopular, man), so get off my case.
Second, fine -- I lose that particular argument. Fair enough, man.
Third, yeah, they're gonna attack whenever. I just don't want them specifically timing their attack for an event.
Fourth, man... you're gonna have to, like, deal with my freedom of speech, man. This is a Library, and I'm a Librarian -- I tell you when to shush. No one tells me. Now take this cart and go shelve some fuckin' mystery books, bitch.

Oh, and Lilly says on my Talk page: Hey there. How are you? I'm getting really psyched for this speaking engagement. So I've got this awesome idea. I get a couple of dynamic and beautiful selves manifested, we sing by the Library, and we do a live panel interview! And get this, we broadcast it across Malton! Do you have a generator and radio? I'm sure we can scrounge up a half dozen radio operators to broadcast the interview across Malton. I'm thinking maybe mid to late june time frame for this, just to make sure everything is in place and that we have enough time to get people to spray paint word of the event. What do you say? I said we could, like, probably procure the necessary electronics, and that this sounded like a pretty decent event. I know someone will be prepared to get, like, an iWitness of it to put up, and that'll help immortalize it. So this plan is sort of coming together. Anyone who wants in on the very brief discussion is welcome to, like, hop on my Talk page and bring it up.
