Greetings everyone!
By now most people have read the two open letters concerning the Design Team. It has made so that the community has started to talk about organisational questions and openess, instead of the more common subject of bleed and pool gain. We have invited Johannes Walch to talk to us at Cause and Effect in an effort to shed some light on the current situation and also what the Inner Circle does and what Johannes' role is in the Inner Circle.
The purpose of this post is to ask for your help. There are some post that in the wake of Jeff Kuta's original letter resulted in voices being raised to have more openess and to rework the paradigm White-Wolf left behind. This lead us, the Cause and Effect team, to have Johannes join us for an hour or so of questions for him from the community.
Any question that you would like Johannes to answer can be asked here or sent to . We'll try to make sure that every question get asked to Johannes, but as you might imagine it depends on how many that gets asked.
The show will be broadcasted live, as always, on Tuesday the 13th of March at 20.00 o'clock (CET) and you will also be able to ask questions and follow-up questions at the end of the show.

Hello Isak
Feel free to use any of my posting here www.vekn.net/index.php/forum/5-generic-vtes-discussion/24814-open-letter-to-jeff-kuta-from-the-ic as inspiration for your questions. And the fact that more users have "Thanked" me for the posting tehn the system can show and of the original letter from the IC.
I would really hope that v:ekn could grow out stronger and learn something out of this.
I belive I might see you this weekend? If so, we can talk there as well
Cheers

I think it would be helpful if you re-formulated this to the required question format. There isn´t a single question in your post
@Jesper: Yeah, we will see eachother this weekend. It will be great!
It would be great if your post could formulated into questions. I might be a bit daft, I'm not enterly sure -exactly- what you want answered. But about inpsiriation, we've gotten it from you and and everyone else that has been posting on the forums. You and the others are the reson why we came up with this idea in the first place!

In random order, here is something to get you started:
“Is there, in your view, a difference between how a non-profit organization based on volunteers work, and how a company who lives for profit work?”
“After what criteria was the IC selected?”
“After what criteria was the design Leader and the designers for the new set selected?”
“After what criteria was the play tester and play tester coordinator selected?”
“Could you see v:ekn based on a openness criteria where all information was open and every one could access it?”
“If not, why?, what top secret stuff do we have?”
“As an organisation, which is based upon a game about intrigue, betrayal, blackmail and manipulation. What steps would you take to eliminate these same characteristics in the inner workings of the v:ekn”
"Would you, both as chairman but also as part of the IC, revaluate the way v:ekn is working”
"The current structure of the IC has basically two management roles (chair person and and marketing) and four administrative roles (rules, web, storyline and ratings). Who in the team is responsible for creating a vision/ strategy for the organization? As this is one of the most important parts of leadership, could you tell us more about the qualifications of this person or group?"
"What are the most important goals for the VEKN in the next year, three years, five years? Please answer with measurable goals, e.g. recruit X new active players, hold Y qualifiers, create Z expansion(s) per year, etc."
.. not really a question for Johannes, more of a request for Adam and Isak. I definitely want to hear something about your performance at the Danish Nationals & ECQ last weekend.

Second.
Also some ideas on the meta would be great, although you guys and Hugh are always terribly secretive about such things.

Meta is overrated - assume all Swedes from Stockholm/Goteborg use DOM DOM DOM and all Danes from Copenhagen use POT.
Bringing it up, I really belive we should dicuss the cross table rush Hugh made on one of Adams vampires duing the final. That seemed like a great topic for debat

Who are you and what have you done with my pal Adam?
Is he on some spaceship en route to Betelgeuse getting a rectal probe or something?
Finnish Politics!
I have seen the light! Celerity and fortitude! Praise be the ishtarri, hallowed be the bum's rush, in the name of our lord, Hektor.

That is only because Lutz von Hohenzollern doesn't have dominate....
Also I second the motion to hear more about the rush, but you shouldn't forget the Isaks revenge in the following ecq finals.
