13:30:15 oxfordgirl: A table full of plastic pint glasses going over on grass is a different scenario to a table full of wineglasses going over on carpet (not that it's insurmountable)
13:30:19 Focus_Group_Gimby (focus_group_gimby): As I say KremlinatWork, this still early stages - we may well see Maelstrom 2:Electric Boogaloo
13:30:38 Beornwulf (beornwulf): *definitely would not like there to not be a maelstrom-esque game*
13:30:40 ZenGwen (zengwen): heh
13:30:47 Target_Audence_Draxar: *still likes the idea of the possible Maelstrom-2 from ages ago*
13:30:47 ccooke: Beornwulf: aye.
13:30:52 Target_Audence_Draxar: If the Bugs had won
13:31:02 ccooke: Target_Audence_Draxar: oh?
13:31:10 Focus_Group_Gimby (focus_group_gimby): Yes, true. oxfordgirl.  Logistics may stop the hotel idea, but there are some options around that
13:31:11 Target_Audence_Draxar: And then taken the ships of the invaders, and used then to invade the old world.
13:31:19 ZenGwen (zengwen): In the event of maelstrom ending, and there not being an immediate Maelstrom 2, I would probably just stick to 1318 and say "you're welcome" to my wallet
13:31:55 ccooke: hmm. One of the things I love about maelstrom is the size.
13:31:58 Target_Audence_Draxar: *is possibly the same. Maelstrom very expertly pushes all my buttons in a way that no other game on the market does*
13:32:50 Helly_Work (helly_work): i'd like to see something still on the scale of Maelstrom, but understand that's basically impossible with hotel-based games. I often find player-events/DUTT weekend events a bit slow because there just aren't enough people and places to interact with.
13:33:14 Focus_Group_Gimby (focus_group_gimby): Unfortunately, one of the things that makes Maelstrom what it is is it being finite
oxfordgirl left the room (quit: Ping timeout: 180 seconds). (13:33:20)
13:33:36 ccooke: Focus_Group_Gimby: that's one of the best things about it, actually
KremlinatWork left the room (quit: Ping timeout: 180 seconds). (13:33:39)
13:33:44 Focus_Group_Gimby (focus_group_gimby): I'm sure Matt's bank manager would like to see something on the scale of Maelstrom too
13:33:46 ZenGwen (zengwen): Mmm, I dunno. I kind of have a love-hate relationship with the scale of Maelstrom.
13:33:55 ccooke: Focus_Group_Gimby: we all know the end will come at some point - possibly sooner, possibly later.
13:34:11 ZenGwen (zengwen): Yeah, there are tons of places to go and schmooze and be in minor drama IC, but you've got to be rather more epic to become a big part of the game
13:34:28 ccooke: ZenGwen: but a lot of people are epic on a smaller scale
13:34:33 ccooke: just like the real world
13:34:46 ZenGwen (zengwen): ccooke: Which is cool, yeah, and why I play it
13:34:49 Focus_Group_Gimby (focus_group_gimby): Partly what this is about is determining what's next rather than just rehashing Maelstrom
13:35:01 Taxellor (taxellor): And people who are epic in some spheres are unknown elsewhere
13:35:09 ccooke: II have it in me to be ashamed of using "epic" and "small scale" together. I merely choose not to.)
13:35:15 Focus_Group_Gimby (focus_group_gimby): Bringing something a bit fresh to the scene
13:35:16 Taxellor (taxellor): Focus_Group_Gimby: Makes sense
oxfordgirl [Mibbit@217.154.153.2] entered the room. (13:35:42)
13:35:44 Target_Audence_Draxar: Focus_Group_Gimby: If there was Electric Boogaloo, are there any thoughts as to what aspects of Maelstrom it'd keep, what it'd change, and so forth?
13:35:44 ZenGwen (zengwen): Focus_Group_Gimby: I suggest something with pink fluffy unicorns
13:35:48 oxfordgirl: wha' happen?
13:35:53 Target_Audence_Draxar: ZenGwen: Dancing on rainbows?
13:35:57 ZenGwen (zengwen): Quite.
13:36:21 oxfordgirl: (someone PM me what I missed?)
