Help me make a place for LARP ethics discussions
Hi All, I know it's been a while since the original discussion on flannelcat , but I am keen to see this turn into a proper forum (in the classical not necessarily virtual space sense) in which various aspects of the social and ethical implications of our hobby/s can be discussed.
I have been mulling it over since then and have a few ideas, but really want to get people who will want to use it involved in deciding what it should be. I'm not asking for moderation or admin time, but for people to work with me in designing something which will be useful and accessible.
In the interests of honesty, I should also say that I will be bringing my Open Uni 'Systems' * work to the table. This gives me a lot of tools for trying to explore what we want from it and what might work, provided I have input from other interested parties. This is NOT a guinea pig project, however the timing relative to my need for a 3rd year project is convenient. I will not use any comments etc without consent, and then only anonymously.
So anyone interested? I don't want to bias discussion by revealing my initial thoughts yet.
* Systems - ie systems thinking, a multi-disciplinary field which explores complex and problematic situations using holistic methods, particularly useful for people/culture oriented situations where multiple perspectives need to be be explored.
