Events!
So, from what I've heard there have been a severe lack of Dark Events on the site! I know that the Legal guilds, as much as I hate to admit it, have more power at the moment, however, that should not stop the events. I have a few ideas, but I was just curious as to what everyone thought!

I like it. It would give baddies a chance to show how wicked they are. Maybe give evil points are something as incentive. So the baddest you are (in different ways) the more points you get. Make characters think outside the box to be evil.

Re: Events!
Okay hun, I will say the lack of Dark Guild Events has all to do with the Dark Guilds themselves. Most if not all Legal Events are crafted by Guild Masters for their guild and site.
There is nothing stopping you from forming small events for Dark Guilds. I did it in TT, I did it when I was GM of BF. So talk to some of them. If you are talking about a much larger scale event, then you are mistaken as those events encourage participation from all alignments.
If you want something Site Wide, Contact an individual on the Dev Team I.E Kirahunter, or a Moderator to point you in the right direction.

Re: Events!
Ew.
"Dark Events" are just up to dark players and whoever cares to associate with them. Heavens forbid there's ever another Priory. Because making Dark mages the bottom' lover of random NPCs is sure to make everyone feel nice and fluffy.
Actually talking with players is probably out of the question, which isn't an opinion but historically relevant, so all in all I'm perfectly content with not having any because it's unlikely that "Dark Events" made by third parties can represent more than one or a few specific dark mages or the general "I am a dark mage lol" stereotypes making for a shallow experience.

Re: Events!
XD I did like the reading, and I do agree. "Dark Events" was the best generalized term I had in mind.

Re: Events!
Thanks owo
The best solution I imagine is just for admins themselves to directly work with members to form more localized events here and there with the occasional Site Event involving more players, and/or being open to making the workings of members into Site Events themselves. Such as if Grim Heresy and Savage Skull decided to pull something big in cooperation, Admins could dub the affair a Site Event, retroactively, during, or before hand.

Re: Events!
The Two Events that I had organized upon being in TT and BF:
1.) In TT, Heero had an alt, super evil Yugi. Who was incarcerated in Era. Lyserg ( previous GM ) I and a group broke into Era to bust him out. Huge thing, was lots of fun.
2.) When I was GM of BF, I started beef ( all IC of course XD ) with IH. Invaded one of their Events ( That i also organized as an ace of IH ) and kidnapped Princess Natsu.
Dark Events, don't have to be super huge, but they can be some fun, just gotta stay away from cliche stuff ya know. Can't tell you how many times we have personally seen the destroy the MC and Era, destroy the world blah de blah. I wanna see a dark character that is more like Evil Jellal. Masking as a good guy for a evil plot to get what he wants.

Re: Events!
I think what would be good is an event that involves dark mages(and not npcs except perhaps something like Acnologia) that actually allows the dark mages to ya know...win? As the priory, the hargeon event, even the era event for the most part have been 'dark guilds involved, but the legals will win' events.
Though I admit Era at least had some victories for the darks, such as me killing a council member by tearing out their throat,

Re: Events!
The thing with Dark Guilds Winning, is that it won't have an benefits really unless you force a site wide setting ( meaning that they take over the MC or whatever, and it typically takes effects in EVERYONES stories ). People on here are still curious as to why FT is dark. There is no enforcement of Dark Guild movement against Legals and that makes it hard to plan events like that.
Also, there is alot of tension around pvp, and im sure that would cause issues.

Re: Events!
What I wouldn't mind seeing is a Dark Guild event where they take over the MC or even the capital city, putting some of our dark mages in power of the government.
If people don't want to accept it as a site event, then that's tough cookies. The Hargeon Event and the Priory were events that molded the world; so I don't see why something dark guilds can do can't mold the world either. Saying only legal guild events can mold the world and dark guild events can't is too lop-sided.
For there to be a shake-up in the site's plot and setting would give people something to talk about and probably invigorate people to RP. It'll even make the bad guys known for their misdeeds instead of "Sneaky in the shadows... we are ninja" kinda badguys. I'd rather the Dark Mages get their fair shake, as Shard said "to win" sometimes.
And don't worry about PvP. Everyone knows it's laughable. Some IC tension isn't necessarily a bad thing either.

Probably has to do with the large amount of higher ranks that legal has right now compared to dark.

Re: Events!
I do understand why you would want events for dark mages, but I'm going to have to say that an event that's planned out in favor of one side is one of the worst ideas ever. Having my fair share of events in favor of one side from other RPs, I can promise that they never turn out quite the way you want it to. By stating that it's a "dark event", you're making it sound like the dark mages are going to win, in which case would result with less participation from the legal mages. And why would they want to participate? You're asking them to join an event where their loss is guaranteed. So that's why "dark events" is a vague term and hard to support.
Thanks to a specific someone talking it out with me last night, it proved to me that setting up an event is easier said then done. You'll have to take in account many factors; the population, the ratio of one side versus another, and the amount that would actually participate. The last one would be the most vital. Sure, events are needed from time to time, but taking into account the time where an event occurs is important. If it happened at the beginning of summer, we'd have a lot more people joining. Now, it's the end of summer and school is starting for many. Participation may be slim because of that.
Lastly, event ideas. An event should not be what the community wants. It sounds weird, but I believe an event should surprise people, not voted upon. A combination of both works well too. Perhaps the developing team could grab a base idea off the mass of players here and further evolve it. But if the event is made by the people and for the people, again, it won't work out well.

Re: Events!
A "Dark event" would not be in favor of one side, nor the other. It would present an objective, which would align with those of a dark alignment, but the two sides would be equal. Oh, wait. With the overwhelming number of Legal mages, and the incredible small number of high ranking dark mages that would never work. All events are swung on one side; legal. There are simply too many high ranking legal mages to compete with. This does not mean a "dark event" would not work, however. It simply needs more planning.
Real world talk; I don't care if it is designed for the community or not. I understand what it takes, as I'm not simply saying these things without thought. That is idiotic. The time, while important, was never stated to be now. I simply wish to see more occur, not necessarily now. Every single one of those points makes sense, and I do agree.
