I'd like to add some copy to the top of the media page describing the documentaries. Anyone have any ideas about what to say?

My thought is to start with our stance:

I think the videos speak for themselves. Maybe a quick summary of the "disclaimer" at the end of Episode 1, you know, the one that goes:

"These events from Uru Prologue have been recreated as accurately as possible.

"Volunteers replace the roles of explorers who could not represent themselves."

Personally I don't believe we need any more than that.

EDIT: Marten you posted while I was writing this. Hinting at our intended goals in a short blurb would be a very good idea.

Cyc, I like your original idea. Short and simple. I'd rather just present them for what they are and entice people to learn more...

Personally, I like to trust people to figure out our message and intents on their own, but for the most part, the general trend in videos produced by explorers in the Cavern has been... rather consequence-free. Our documentary project obviously has goals and may have consequences. Hopefully good ones! I'd personally like that fact to be clear in our presentation.

Maybe we could just let this first episode and the next few episodes ride and see if we need to elucidate those goals of ours. So far reactions have been very positive, which I'm surprised at quite frankly. Maybe the majority of explorers are on our side already.

These documentaries were created by the Great Tree. We're presenting them because we like to be passively entertaining. Enjoy!

Um, no? Smile

Dear The Great Tree: I tend to edit my posts a few minutes after I post them. Enjoy this little fact about Cycreim! Perhaps catch me saying something stupid! It's fun!

I am guilty of editing posts obsessively for up to an hour after I post them. Repeatedly. And running afoul of "You can't post again so soon" when I'm just EDITING an exisitng post.

This would be the funnest game ever, but only mods could participate.

Cycreim · Posted: Tue Sep 26, 2006 7:48 am Post subject:

Except moderators can't edit the posts of administrators! Sad

Hmmm.

Thoughts?
