LockeZ
I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

CloseLiterally every single person in the game design industry wants to be the "idea guy" who doesn't have to do other people's ideas.
Stealing someone else's ideas for your project is like making a cake that someone else already licked the frosting off of.

For high profile creative figures with a history of success in a commercial context, having their ideas stolen by other people in the industry, where actual money is at stake, not just creative pride, is probably a legitimate concern.
I think we'd all love to have to worry about our ideas being stolen.

This is probably the point where I need to start thinking about checking out that "Mibbit for Dummies" thread. I could be assuming too much, but, I doubt it.

...Wait. Two rooms? There are only five people total, that's not even enough to run the event properly, much less split us up. There's no point in time where more than three people overlap, so you can't possibly have two rooms unless you're putting someone by themselves! And we really need as many people as possible to bounce ideas off of, anyway.
How do I get into both rooms? Can you please post the links here so other random people can just pop in? Not actually sure why we aren't just using this topic (or an event page), but if you're gonna host it externally, people from here need to be able to get in. The only way this event will work at all is if random people show up who didn't sign up.
I mean, we're seven hours in and the only post so far is me asking who else is there. I didn't even get sent the link until four hours into the event, at which point Nurvuss's time slot was already practically over.

What LockeZ said, plus I didn't know it started this weekend... :I
Maybe an IRC or Skype channel would work best for realtime feedback?

Yeah OK, so if any of you want to just post in this topic, my entire typical weekend is basically spent refreshing RMN every five minutes anyway, so I will do my best to respond in approximately-realtime here during the remaining time slots I signed up for.
I'll be in the private thread Liberty sent out too. Whichever you prefer to use.

Right, so links to chatroom now up in the private threads if you want to join that. Just paste the link in your address bar, pick a name for yourself, ignore the password option and click Join. I'll see you there~
The idea was only a few people since we have no idea who will jump on at what time and it allows for a little longer idea bouncing or more round-robin-ing in the case of several ideas. Waiting for more than a couple of people to finish talking about their ideas and getting feedback for them could take upwards of 10 or more minutes, depending on how much feedback they get and how much back and forth there is. Thus, more than a few people could take a lot longer than some people have.
That said, since Sunday is more or less quieter, then we could have just the one room instead.
Maybe I'll make this a weekly thing for a few weeks instead of the one-off it was intended to be. It did say Saturday/Sunday of this week in the description, but I can understand that it's short notice. >.<;
Anyway, adding in names of current members into the rooms. (As for IRC or Skype, I was thinking these rooms were more fitting for actual longer discussions and real-time feedback is possible, but perhaps I was mistaken. I'll add a link to the room for a chat I know of which works pretty good.)

Even if you put everyone in one room, there would be no situation where you're ever waiting for more than one person to finish, because there were never going to be more than three people at a time, and one of them was me.
Anyway, the chatroom's web server is down or something.

Yeah, try the new information or the mibbit channel info posted in the thread.
I'm really sorry about the mess up with this so far guys. >.<;

Was the idea bounce somewhat successful? And is it now definitely going to be a more regular event? Although I couldn't find the time for this one, I would be happy to participate one or more times in the near future.
It was a bit of a failure, mainly since it was a last-minute thing. Hence why I decided to make it a weekly thing for the next few weeks. If anyone wants to jump on board, now is certainly the time.
There's a new room, or is the room I have still good? It just seems like it's only me and LockeZ in there.
...during the weekend. XD
I'll put a new link for each weekend so that ideas don't get bogged down. It'll include a chatroom so that live chat is available and the actual room for longer thoughts and easy idea reference. But yeah, Sat/Sun.
