[ Most people in Rufus' position barely want to hear Krouse's opinions once, let alone several times in sequence. It throws him for a second, but the nice thing about text-based communication is omitting those seconds from the record. ]
No stopping when we're on a roll, got it.
Given the demographics around here, you could throw a party. I know it's cliche, but you're competing with unsettling bingo and mistimed back to school cupcakes. I think people wouldn't hate a social event organized by someone who's not asking anyone to stab each other for party favors or letting wild animals loose on the dance floor.
And you could double up on function. Make it a town hall followed by meet and greet. That'd probably help avoid some of the implications of 'luring'.
I like listening to good ideas. That's what makes it so difficult to listen to my board of directors.
Let's talk incentives. The skeptics will come out of distrust for my motives, and the optimists will come because they genuinely think it's a refreshing idea?
Can you even make it onto a board of directors if you share good ideas? Seems like a disqualifier.
That's what I'd assume. There'd probably also be people who just come so they don't feel excluded. That's called FOMO. Fear Of Missing Out. A powerful incentive all on its own, leveraged by social media companies everywhere.
There's another insight into my universe for you. We're great at summarizing the ways people feel like shit and turning them into profitable business strategies.
Wouldn't it be something if that were what Echo was doing, bringing us all here. Putting us on the hook for the continuance of our worlds and instilling a fear of failing our loved ones. FOFLO.

If you ever want to brainstorm more, feel free to get in touch. This was fun. I also happen to be a big fan of giving my solicited opinion.

I think it'd be convenient if people had an easy place to gather. The trick is luring them to come to it to begin with. Any thoughts?

Now that's clever, though. I'm fully aware of the concept you're describing. I've just never heard it summed up so concisely.

[ He has not gotten the impression Rufus is. ]
FOFLO. It's got a good mouth feel. I think you could make that catch on.
