My presentation was deliberately boring. *nodnod* I imagine people don't want to risk getting their questions answered and taking up yet more of their time with boring stuff :P

[Stuiter]

Okay, I will finish it and start writing my presentation.

[Stuiter]

Damn, I got nearly 700 words and still not finished. I am a slow writer, sorry.

[Stuiter]

Does nobody want to reply?

[Stuiter]

Sorry guys. But I am not great in writing and I have been busy and really looking up to my next conference post.
I have not yet started jet and as much as I hate that there is no progress myself, forcing myself in writing will not be productive.
I feel so obligated to write it that the fun is gone. (last time was already hard enough for me)
So my apologies, but I will take my time. I hope you can bare with it.

[Mercury]

Take all the time you need. We eagerly await your post ^_^

[Brend]

You could also declare the conference finished? That way you free up some time, and are under no obligation to continue writing.

I wouldn't hold it against you, to be honest; the thing has been going on for a rather long time, and there does not seem to be much enthusiasm for it any more...

[Mercury]

I personally enjoy reading Stuiters writings but its up to them to decide of course :)

[Elmer]

I think the conference can still be fun, when you do not have to write all the presentations yourself. I remember that I have two presentations on my name which I think will be fun to write. Maybe other people have some ideas for a fun presentation as well and are willing to write. Then we have probably up to 6 presentations in total which is enough in my opinion. Thereafter we can have a closing event where people can evaluate on the presentations and depending on the activity in the closing thread, the conference can be closed :).

To make it more fun for you, I will start writing my first presentation tomorrow or so ;).

[Brend]

When can I post my presentation o_O?

I was scheduled for day 5: Chemical engineering (large scale processing and engineering of chemistry): Presentation by the Veolian Commonwealth: “Planetary scale atmosphereless gasses treatment and refinement processors”

But I'm not really sure when that will be... maybe you can just make a list of people that said they would present something, and drop a deadline on them? You could grab the list from 1st Intergalactic Science Conference, and put a deadline on the thing of, say, 4 weeks.

[Elmer]

I have a presentation ready from the people of Skuldda for quite some weeks now, but I still wait for my cue to post. :)

[Stuiter]

Sorry for the late responds. I really do not have the time to post.
I did not want to mix up the order to much.
Elmers presentation is at the end so I waited with that. Your presentation would be a nice closing with A lot of BOOM.
But with Brend also have one finished I have to continue.
Elmer do you want to first?

[Elmer]

Yes I want first with Skuldda. My Teprogrenaian presentation isn't finished yet (not started yet as well.)

by the way, I don't have a lot of boom :(

[Stuiter]

Anybody questions for Elmer? (I not it was quite a clear story)

[Mercury]

I have no questions, thank you Stuiter :)

[Stuiter]

As discussed in the write-a-thon You have until the end of this month to submit your presentations. After that we will wrap up and finish it.

[Stuiter]

Reminder to all.

There are still some presentation scheduled, so please finished them this month.

If you have questions go ahead.

[Mercury]

It does not appear as if there are questions. Would it be good to round off this event? I have stuff triggered for when it is completed. A closing post may be in order?

[Stuiter]

Yes, that needs to be done. I have not yet a good fancy idea, so maybe I will just keep it short.

[Mercury]

As a result of the Hiocan Science Conference, I have created a new technology which all member worlds who posted a scientific report will receive for free! These are:

• Socialist Republic of Niom (NPC, ignore)
• Skuldda (NPC, -> tranfer to Teprogrenaian Consensus)
• Hiocan Society
• Veolian Commonwealth

I'm also giving T'sal 1 xp for her participation, as the Hiocans effectively did 2 presentations, plus the whole organization, so I feel that this is fair, which can be applied once the relevant page has gotten a story datablock so it can be linked to. (Link)

Oh, right, the new technology is Advanced Multi-Field Research Cooperation.

[Brend]

I will update the recycling tree to incorporate this new technology as the starting tech.

[Mercury]

Excellent idea!

[Elmer]

Do we already have something like Influence Points as discussed during the last write-a-ton? In that case I propose to give some IP to the Hiocan Society. :)

[Mercury]

I'm working on it at this time.

[Stuiter]

This is cool. Thanks.
