We will gladly come to meeting in considering 'Absolute Peace'. Though we find name, more than little ironic. But we consider it more a meeting for ceasing/holding all hostilities, sharing our concerns, and talking intelligenly and sensible.
Thus, here is our wishlist.
1. Nobody is forced to attend ((no, 'or else' threats)), let each show their true colors without pressure.
2. No booing/hissing/laughing/cheering AUDIENCE. Ever heard saying 'too many spoons'. These discussions almost always become 'heated' and sometimes even agressive. As long as it doesn't go too far, this agressiveness is good, helps clearing air, and easing tension. If one feels bad, not showing it, it not a right way. Spilling it all over, is neither a right way. And audience wants to feel to be part of that 'fun'. Never underestimate disturbing effect of masses.
3. No press or any other organization around. See point 3. Plus all the crappy rumors, and half-though statements are heard all around. Remember what happened last time? I say it would be better for us to have made actual decisions together, before we tell them to outsiders, or worse get spied by them. Of course, we make them statement afterwards. In Toril, this organization has it's purpose, but no need to let them turn from uselful and important into 'few rats dancing in the table'.
4. Do not hope for too much. This is only one meeting, and that just doesn't make all the no-funny things to go away. However, if it makes us get somewhere, it might not be last such meeting.
5. Pay attentions to each attendant's 'wish list'.
Sure we will attend, even if you pay no attention to our 'wish list'. After all, food and drinks have always been good, one get's to see all these legendary figures in person (there is actual compiting over who gets to go, because of this), and all meetings always have made great camp-site stories. Even those, that have gone awry. Sure we are coming.
