Hackie Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Could we please have one? I'd love to know when we have them. Link to comment
Blue Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 We used to have one. Then we stopped doing events. Link to comment
Guest Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 We never had a Schedule for custom events, or not one that would be defined as a schedule. They were made when the admins felt like they wanted to. Now it's a case of how many staff are online to watch over and help with the event, and when people are willing to host one, and if people accept a vote for one. Most of the recent events have started around 3-5AM-GMT, when the servers calmed down from all the different gamemodes. Link to comment
Guest Marlon Phoenix Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 There's the informal agreement I worked out with Skull that we would try to have an event of any size at least once a week. Once the major wiki work is completed the lore team will also shift to being event focused, creating and managing them. Link to comment
Jamini Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Can we get some not-wacky/crazy canon events sometime? Cat Gulag/Not-lifeweb/Astrodika are all 'fun' and all, but having some lore-based events that make sense would be better. Link to comment
Valkrae Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 I mean; I just do situational events. Murderers on station, derelict survival, syndicate hunter aboard the station, etc. I can start thinking of lore-based ideas, and run them through Jackboot for the next time I'm able to host an event.

VoltageHero Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 I mean; I just do situational events. Murderers on station, derelict survival, syndicate hunter aboard the station, etc. Â Only one of of those three is anything but "extended with antags". An event should be more than "here is somebody trying to kill you, fight them". Link to comment
Chaznoodles Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Bring back Martial Law rounds. All hail. Link to comment

Hackie Posted April 22, 2015 Author Share Posted April 22, 2015 STOP! This is about getting custom event schedule, jeez Lopez. I mean, if you're planning on doing one every week could we get an announcement or an update to a thread? Like, 'Yo, peeps, is event tomorrow'. Link to comment
Frances Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 I think one problem mentioned is that a lot of events are spontaneous. If somebody from the admin team were willing to partner with me (to give me flags and such), I'd love to host prescheduled events from time to time, a bit like we announced our future rounds in advance. Maybe we could have a read-only "master thread" for events, that gets updated whenever upcoming events are announced, sorta like the server status thread? Link to comment
Tabitha Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 I would Honestly Love to see this, IT just seems like it would make things a little more Predictable then to just join the server and BAM, FLYING MONKEYS WITH ACID TEARS. When the Status says Extended in the lobby... Link to comment
Frances Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 FLYING MONKEYS WITH ACID TEARS. When the Status says Extended in the lobby... blame people not setting up a custom OOC info text they're being bad eventhosts Link to comment
Guest Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 blame people not setting up a custom OOC info texts Something any event host can tell you is 'Scopes will bug you until you put one up' Provided I didn't miss it myself :/ Link to comment
