More event rounds?

[Dorkkeli]

It's starting to feel like event rounds are becoming rarer and rarer.
USCM vs. Xenos is getting a little stale, more variation would be nice.
LIke, every 4th game could be human v. human? Etc.

Just my two cents, do you agree?

[fatalityfun]

I agree, or add it as a vote like for other maps

That event round with the beno vs beno imprints, CLF, UPP and the USCM all wrapped up into one neatly coordinated event was glorious. I say if they do more events, it should be more on the side of xeno vs xeno vs marines + other stuff, because those are the most interesting in my opinion.

Though, I believe I've seen at least as event happening every day so it isn't so bad. I think the real reason round is becoming staler and staler, is because the meta changed for the worse. Bum rushes, no fear RP or any RP at all.

From what I hear, events are a pain in the ass to organize. Then again, that might depend on the originality of said event.

Events are nice, but the available variety that an admin can do without being too absurd is kinda limited. For instance, on good old TG Station, immersion is pretty low on the priorities, so when it comes to events ANYTHING can happen. CM on the other hand has a more rigid focus, which ends up limiting what an event can be without breaking what could be possible in the Aliens universe. The farthest out there event so far was the SCP events, and those could still work themselves in story wise.

I'm not really sure... more of our usual HvH or XvX events are fun every once in a while, but if we use them TOO much it's going to get kinda boring as well.



(Damn, now I realize just how hard it is for admins to come up with original and fun event ideas... :[ )

i run my events wednesday evenings EST usually. I know the others run events throughout the week. Perhaps you are just in an incovienent timezone

Events appear to be increasing in frequency, but are usually done at highpop.

There are also a lot of mini events that happen at random times that have low/no impact on the round and are easy to miss.

[Potato Masher]

Now that Nicboone and Spooky mention it, time zones and player population may affect your view of the amount of events that go on. Should havery thought of that before spewing down my opinion. :]

>voting for events

that one had me cracking up

[jalen earl]

Xenos on the almayer at roundstart marines on the surface and marines have to retake the ship one boat load at a time to leave before the almayers orbit decays too much for retrieval.

[Avalanchee]

PvP events are fun

[Sulaboy]

I really like the small things, we don't need to have some big plot, but that event with the two synths that caused a zombie outbreak was neat. It doesn't have to be big, just some group with a story to drive the round.

[solidfury7]

Events are at an all time high.

However it's often thankless, stressful work which takes a lot out of you.
