A guide to user events
« on: August 21, 2012, 10:32:45 am »
Welcome to the Guide of Player Events
Okay, it is quiet simple to begin a Player event. It requires only a few basic things.

      1)  A few players to join you in this event. This means there have to be others included in the event. Try not to be exclusive and include as many people as possible! As they say; The more, the merry
      2) you're going to need a place to host this event. So get building!!

What do I put in the topic?

For the topic it's quite simple. All you need to do is follow a basic template and fill in or add more things.

What is the purpose of the event? will it be spleef, party, obstacle course etc
Where will it be?: This can either be a /home or some coordinates.
State whether donations are needed Just say whether it would help for people to donate to the event etc
Is the project/area finished? simple yes or no.
Who is the official manager of the event? Just put your user name here, you can include other player names that are helping out eg umpires, observers etc

Optional things

Okay these things are optional for you to put in.
Screenies!Everyone loves screenshots, so put in a few screenshots of the even you're hosting so people can know what they're looking forward to!
People that have donated. I'm sure people will want to see who has donated to the event or they want to see their name on a shiny topic ;)
Who will be supervising. This is only optional, but it might help (eg in spleef events) an official supervisor that will make fair calls etc.

And pretty much anything else you want to put into the topic!


Should this be stickied in user events. Give me your thoughts and if there is anything that needs to be changed ;)

Typos, interpunction, flow of the sentences... make sure it is all perfect when making a guide. You can't have a typo in a sticky topic. People will be reading this, a lot, and it comes across unprofessional.

Change the Optinal things to Optional Add-ons or something else. The word "things" doesn't look good there, imo.

I didnt post a guide for user events because they are user events. There is no harm in how they are formatted since formatting is up to the event holders.

Ahhaa you would've freaked out Mr!

And Nick, it doesn't bother me what so ever if this is stickied or not, hence why it is in suggestions ;)
