Ideas from the Confused | Started by: WhereWasI on Oct 13, '11 00:03 |
There has been much discussion about a recent lack of discussion in the streets and I thought I might try my hand at some sort of solution. I'm a very young bloodline and to those of you who've heard something like this before I apologize but I really am trying to be original.
From what I read, the main issues people are having is how can we prevent boredom and stagnation without promoting anarchy and chaos? I believe that we should take some form of pride in our streets, and I'm guilty of not doing my fair share. So now that I'm done stating the problem (which kind of sounds like bitching I know), I believe leaders should make an honest effort to combine ranking requirements with a certain street presence. Re-instituting street presence as a rank requirement would easily spike the number of attempted threads, but it would create a new problem as most of these will be crap to get your next rank. I'd ask the leaders to proof read the stories and make sure they're interesting but honestly that would never stick. So my idea to fix that problem would be to ask the community to rethink their posting methods to keep good posts alive as the bad ones fall behind and die. Threads like "How does this story end?" have proven that people can expand on intelligent ideas and attract an array of vocal followers. So I ask the people who post in these ideas to simply expand beyond the congratulations and provide constructive criticisms and pose questions to get others thinking. My belief is not that the streets are falling apart because people don't care, it's more because people are uninspired compared to days of old. Sometimes it takes conflict to inspire the public off their lazy asses. And sometimes all it takes is one original thought by an idiot to inspire a genius to do something we never thought possible.
In short: it's not the game changing, or people getting lazy. It's the fact Ideas have been played to death and we need to challenge the people to find new ways to use the tools they've been given.
So to get things started, I would like to publicly call out a few people I believe aren't going to get offended and aren't afraid to tell me to go fuck myself. Tell me how dumb and pointless this thread is. Chuckle (you're one of the best speakers so I don't really expect you to humor me), BuffaloJoe (known you for a while now and you know I'll be pissed if you ignore this), and Godmother Worley (had to choose someone from DT and couldn't think of anyone better); I would like to call you all out to respond to this, but anyone else who wants to criticize or expand on this please do so. If you have your own ideas, post it here or make your own thread. I'd even be willing to proof read any thoughts by any member of the community to help them get their point across. |

Before anything you need to encourage people to come to the streets - Mass mail your relatives. If everyone says the streets are boring and a waste of time it is only natural that people stop following the streets. To reinstate the activeness of past ages you first have to make people come to the streets. |

Firo, I would love to inspire my relatives to come to the streets, but most of them only go when there is something interesting. They're willing to post in topics that they find interesting, but flooding the streets with threads seems unnecessary. Not only that, but I have problems of my own outside of the streets, my list of contacts can only do so much for me (and those of you who've helped me know who you are and you've done a lot for me and I'm very thankful).
LottaBEssen, the freak shows are interesting, but eventually they come to a stop, maybe asking a friend to bring the thread back to the front of people's minds when the freak show is over could help it get the attention it truely deserves. |

I think we go through cycles of generations with quite often the same thoughts coming every so often. Anyones ancesters that have been knocking around for years have seen and heard it all before so tend not to comment as they would just be saying the same stuff as their ancestors. |

I don't quite agree that everything is all about FUN, but it's definitly a good start on the right path. Maybe the ideas of how to post in the streets are considered too structured. Characters who do what they want and make their presence known through the way they express their opinions, like Mr Hogan, have shown that you CAN have fun without offending other people or trying to cause an underground revolution.
As far as the broadness of the subject, I'm hoping people can make statements that help us find the causes to why people are too afraid or unispired to come out to the streets. If we start broad we can find more potential issues to address. |

WhereWasI - I identified your rather pathetic attempt to silence the TRUTHSPEAKERS in the Streets some time ago. Whenever I, or another brave and hardy soul spoke, you would go and ressurect some other speech. It was transparent and sad. I'm sorry your father was killed but bitterness will just lead to hatred, hatred to sorrow. |

Hatred is a terrible word, and I was never trying to hide it. If I think there is trash in the streets, I use my voice to try to bury it. The streets are dull and boring, we need a permanent fix. Your speeches are like heroin, when people have an addiction they have two options, give in to your shit and fall deeper into the hole, or ignore it and try to make yourself stronger; we don't need your nonsense because its only entertaining for the moment, it has the obvious side effects of tearing people down and leading to unnecessary deaths.
TRUTHSPEAKERS implies that you're speaking the truth, and rofl you're clearly not. Real revolutions aren't afraid to show their face, they make a stand and are proud of their actions. There's a difference between guerilla warfare and terrorism. You try to use fear to make people do what you want for your personal gain. Thinly veiling your intentions doesn't work, everyone knows you're slime. We all know it, and I'm disappointed in myself for even acknowledging you long enough to make a response... Now go away so I can ask the public WHY They dont want to speak, if we can identify a real problem we might be able to fix it. |
