Do we want to hire ex-Lux members?

[Aeson]

Looks like Lux member CiverDan joined RP already.

[notyoueither]

Maybe we should have the polls before we invite anyone.

People to poll on:
ixnay
BigFurryMonster

others perhaps as GS members request it.

[alva]

Perhaps asking BFM if he wants to join at all

[notyoueither]

I'd like to know if anyone is inclined to use the black ball before I ask anyone if they are interested. Could avoid putting someone in a very awkward position.

[DeepO]

nye, I think we should ask whether they might be interested, explaining that if they are, we should poll it to mek it final is the best way to proceed. If we wait until polling, they might have joined another team already...
the risk they are upset when they would be refused isn't that big

[notyoueither]

OK. I started one for ixnay. I will start one for BFM, and I will try to raise him in chat.

[notyoueither]

BFM is going on a week's holiday beginning tomorrow. He has not considered joing any other team. Rather, he expressed an interest in getting more involved in the ISDG.

I mentioned to him that his name had come up among some of us and suggested to him that if he decides to seek another team, he should remember us.

Shiber raises an interesting question about the legality of an ex-Luxian joining the squad and bringing the map with him.

One side is that it isn't legal due to the "out of game" context....

The other side (which I'm more inclined to agree with) is that refugees in RL are free to bring any kind of secrets they hold in their head, or their hand. If Ixnay should bring a map with him, that he snuck past the Voxians ( ) , then what's wrong with that?

I could be mistaken however, but I think that it isn't illegal, or that it shouldn't be if it IS.

[nbarclay]

I think that's the sort of question that really ought to be determined by all the teams together rather than having each team and each ex-Luxian come up with a potentially different interpretation.

[alva]

Hmm, the less limits we(other teams) impose on Luxian members, the less chance of (possible) cheating there is and the less accusations(sp?) there will be.

There are practicaly no limits in this game, there is no need to start now.

Whatever the 'new' members say or do, will always be based alot on their previous (Lux) experience, so even without them telling anything right away, asking the right questions will result in the same thing.

[DeepO]

I was thinking... do all former Lux members even have access to screenshots etc.?

DeepO

[ixnay]

Yeah, I can get you guys screenshots and maps, and sometime in the next week I'll put up a writeup about our situation and what happened. It'll most likely have to wait until I get back to school next weekend, though, since I'm at home for spring break now and am not online too frequently.
