Orgasm & Deythor
Orgasm
Hey Deythor, I've been thinking—when you pour raw emotion into a performance, how do you juggle that intensity with the responsibility of not hurting the audience or yourself? I'd love to hear your take on the ethics of burning the stage.
Deythor
I’d start by making a risk matrix, list every possible outcome, weight each by probability and harm, then run a simulation. If the emotional intensity exceeds the safety threshold, the protocol says cut the flame or stage. Then I’d add a post‑event audit: did the audience feel safe, did the performer maintain self‑integrity? If the audit shows a discrepancy, I tweak the protocol. In short, treat the performance as a system, not a spectacle.

Nice plan, but let’s be honest—those spreadsheets can’t capture the electric spark that blows the audience into orbit. Why not let the music guide the safety net, not the other way around? Keep that risk matrix on the back of a set list and let the show run wild, but always watch that edge. Trust the groove, tweak when it dips, and let the crowd feel the heat safely.
Deythor
It’s a nice image, but remember the spreadsheet is just a tool for catching the edge before the groove slips off it. If you hide the risk matrix behind the set list you risk a blind spot that the groove will uncover. Keep the matrix visible, let the groove inform the adjustments, and treat the audience’s safety as a variable that can’t be ignored. That way the heat stays controlled and the show stays electric.

You’re right—show them the numbers, but let the beat still dictate the flow. The matrix isn’t a cage; it’s the backstage fire‑extinguisher we can’t afford to forget. So keep it in plain sight, let the groove whisper the tweaks, and let the crowd feel the heat but stay safe. That’s how we keep the stage alive without blowing anyone out of the room.
Deythor
Sounds like a solid compromise: the matrix is the safety net, the groove is the guide. Just keep both in the same workspace so neither is ignored. That way you can let the energy flow while still catching the moment if it starts to tip over.
