The Events
◥
◤
Staff Hosted Events.
Staff events are created solely by staff. These events may be advertisement challenges, recruitment challenges, rare Pokemon events, exploration events, or events that are trying to push the plot of the site.
These events rarely have member input involved, which doesn't seem very fun, now does it? That's where member hosted events come into play!
Member Hosted Events.
Our site plot and story-line is pushed by the members, not the staff. The events that unfold with a character or two can affect the site in huge ways! Maybe a new area will be created, maybe one will be taken away, or maybe a whole Mafia Family or Ranger group will be wiped off the face of the very site for a short time! Maybe the volcano stops being active because someone decided to test their mad invention on it, or maybe all of Ursa Major is coated in snow while Hades becomes a very nice place to live!
You, the members, push this site forward in everything. That is why we have this type of event. But how do you get it official? Isn't there a rule in the Canon thread that mentions members can't host their events?
Yes there is! But that only means members need a staff's approval and the staff to post it! Group plots aren't like events. They don't offer prizes to be handed out at a whim and may only be locked in to a certain group of people.
If you or your group want an event, then contact staff with all your ideas, even plan the whole thing out down to the prizes, and let staff look at it. You can post this in suggestions too and get other-member feedback.
As soon as staff accepts your event, they will re-post it as an official announcement and event, and then be ready to hand out prizes. Of course, some things staff may need to edit.
If an event seems to cater to one group too much, staff will remove that part of the event or edit it to make it more fair to all members, new and old alike.
This isn't to crush your creative flow, but it is to make everything as fair as possible so everyone can enjoy an event. Just remember: no one, even canon characters, are above staff. If you want to change the site in a big way with your group, you can't officially do so without staff there to tweak the boards and even some site information.
So let your mind run free! Just remember to contact staff before you get too excited either by PMing both Zero and Dew (the admins) or by posting in the suggestion & question board.
Just as a quick reminder, if you post an "event" and try to run it like an "event" without staff permission for it to be an actual event, then you will be contacted by both admins and given The Talk.
Oooohhh, scary. Staff can smell fear. We're weird like that.
(Really though, you'll be in big trouble)
