Americans are kind of blasé in regards to violence as we see it on a constant loop. However, in Canada it's not as recurring and extreme, rendering Harper Rock an outlier. I was thinking that, in an effort to continue consolidating its nature with a better public image, the city might perhaps could take a page out of Toronto's book and bring Pride to Harper Rock.
One thing that Canada does better than America, is its inclusion of the LGBTQ community into mainstream. We have quite a few queer characters on this board, as well as many who would consider themselves allies. I would love to get interested parties together to plan a week-long mismatch of roleplay opportunities, on forum and in chats, to bring the LGBTQ community in Harper Rock some visibility.
Alternatively, spread out various roleplay and chat opportunities throughout the month of June, allowing for different days, time slots, and formats. We could also discuss the potential for prizes, both on forum, and donated by players. Those with facilities on grid could open them up for celebration, allowing for themed chat parties or group activities (cards agains humanities, for example?), or even charity-driven auction.
June is fourth months away, which gives ample time for discussion and suggestions.
I'll post a few snippets of information below, but I encourage anyone interested to join the conversation. Pride month is about inclusion and showcasing diversity, and I think a great way to do that is to have multiple people involved, and all manner of plots brought together or happening in parallel.
