POLL: EVENT FORMAT

[accurately]

Hello everyone! It's Tay mod. And you may be wondering 'But why isn't she logged into the mod journal'? That's because I wanted to use a paid-only feature today... a poll!

Our event is coming up on the 20th, and as we work on finalizing prompts, we wanted to see what the community thinks of the best/easiest format for events going forward. (This will not affect the TDM format, only events.)

Poll #24862 Event Style Preference

This poll is closed.
Open to: Access List, detailed results viewable to: Just the Poll Creator, participants: 36

How do you prefer event formats?

A. All top-levels are as replies to one prompt post. Separate post for OOC plotting posted a couple days ahead of in-game event start.
34 (94.4%)

B. Prompt post is a directory for top levels, but top levels should be posted in communities. Separate OOC plotting post at same time.
0 (0.0%)

Other suggestion (comment or reply if you are in favor of someone else's comment)
2 (5.6%)

Format samples:
A. Top-levels all in one spot from Empatheias
(Pros: all in one place, cons: potential overflow posts if the game gets big enough)

B. Directory-style from Prismatica
(Pros: easier to view top levels without using top level view mode, cons: lots of posts on communities make it easy to miss non-event posts)

We know this is short notice, so there are only a couple of days for this poll! This is entirely optional, but we would like your input by 10pm PST on November 19th if you have an opinion. If you don't care, don't worry about it. The event will go up either way.

Hullo, mods!

(Please excuse typos, I am bouncing between two keyboard due to tech issues)

I misunderstood what you meant by a directory until I checked out the link. If the event ifairly simple, all i one thread could work since we are probably a new enugh game and Novemeber and December are traditionally slow times for games that we are probably unikely to hit the captcha cp.

However, if the event is very complicated, what about this for an extra option? Since the game is so new, what about an comn just for event related threads, the mai thread would have links to the parts and players would have the choice to post in the individual linked threads in the event log, or make their on thread in the event comn?

Honestly every idea posted here though has both pros and cons, mine included. What matters most is that the event i enjoyable for players and mods alike, and the format comes secondary to that, I think. It is connected, but I am excited about the event no matter the format, and I am sure I am not the only one.

Thank you guys so much for the game so far, and for putting up with the crazy! (I know I contributed more than my fair share of crazy
>.<)

Yes, it looks like there is an overwhelming response for a non-directory style event post. I do not think we need to make a separate community for events however, best to keep things simple.

Thank you for your enthusiasm and I'm glad you're looking forward to the event!
