The Battle Of The Events - Want A Hosted Forum?

That's right, this is a different kind of incentive for events than most are used to.

This time we're having a contest. From now until March 25th the competing events can be held (a bit of time to provide for planning and whatnot). This amount of time may increase if we get a too many contestants, although I doubt this will be the case.

The events must be held by the deadline, not just scheduled. Only events scheduled after February 1st apply to this as well. Individuals can schedule more than one event and submit them for the contest. Want better chances of winning? Schedule more events and get yourself into the vote more than once.

When the contest is over and all events are held (each led by one SeeD, for the reward can only be given to one person), all event contest leaders would have their input and reflection on the event posted in a specific thread. Then a poll will be conducted by the clan with regards to which event was the best.

In the end the lucky winner will receive a hosted forum! If you didn't know what a hosted forum is, it is a forum of your own design on CurvedSpace in the Hosted Forum category (led by the winner).

How To Enter:

Just reply to this with event information after you create your event thread and add your event to the calendar.

Please keep in mind the following, for they should also be considered when the vote takes place:

- What is your event about? PKing, a party, or something else of your own design? Perhaps more than one of the above? Anything counts, but what would be most interesting, fun, or even profitable from the member's perspective?

- In which game will the event be held? Absolutely nothing wrong with doing something in Runescape, but what impact would the event have on another faction if you break the ice and be the first to schedule something there instead? Something to think about. Not to ramble on about this, but if you want to jump-start your faction almost nothing beats a public event where other players can become involved. That is a good place to start if you're seeking members.

- Is your event profitable from the member's perspective? No one says that a party is a lesser event in any respect, and no one looks down on PK trips. If you're creating an event of your own design (as I would recommend), keep two things in mind: interest and whether it is worthwhile. "Profitable" can but does not have to mean physical gain.

- Does your event incorporate other players? It is fine if it doesn't, but in terms of clan-wide and lasting impact nothing beats a public event. Drop parties, fire art contests, "trains" (actually if long enough this can be surprisingly effective, as it gets everyone's attention and at the same time is not considered an annoyance), and other similar events, if successful, can give the clan a visible boost in activity and membership.

- Have fun! An event that you don't want to hold is not going to be a good one, and if you aren't enjoying it others probably aren't either.

Enjoy your event-making!
