event question

Okay guys...

So this SHODAN event. I'd put this in the discussion thread, but I don't think anyone will see it.

First: Is two weeks too long? First week is just kidnapping people and doing hideous things to them, second is big damn heroes. I thought it'd give a semi-realistic timeframe for grabbing and mutating folks, but now that I think about it that's kind of a long time in LJRP terms. If so, how do you guys want me to divide the time? Advice?

here's the doc for reference.


Second: Thinking of March 5 as a tentative start date, since my spring break starts next Wednsday at 11:00 pm, and that gives me a week of relative freeeeedom. how do you feel about this.

I'm not seeing that post anywhere. There are two days left in February, which makes this seem...rather sudden for a late February event, especially considering that the SHODAN plot has been wide out in the open for a while, and it's been said over and over that whenever time is convenient for the players is a time that we can do this event, and we'd schedule dates when we had an idea of that convenience. There have been no real announcements or anything that have been easily accessible. I only knew there was a DSpace event through word of mouth.

I know moving is stressful and all, but you're kind of blaming us for something that is not our deal.

I... don't really see any blaming going on? All she's saying is that player-run plot start dates should be run by the mods for approval before tossing them out there. The DS event had to be delayed for several reasons, and running it will be difficult if it's put off for much longer, but none of that is being blamed on you guys.

Okay. But I mean, we had no dates from you guys to plan around either, and little to no idea of what to expect if we weren't in on chat or wherever you guys talk about this stuff. Do you know when you are planning the Dead Space event to begin and end, or even just a basic "x amount of days" timeframe? How much recovery time you think the RP will need? Ideas of what you're going to do with it?

I'm sorry, it's just. The mods have dropped the ball on a few events while they were happening already, and the last survival horror one was not very opt-in at all. So I want to be sure that this one will happen pretty soon and in an orderly fashion if we absolutely have to delay this plot for it, you know? Because I have heard next to nothing about it beyond "Dead Space" and "NPCs," and I'd rather not end up in a situation where the SHODAN plot goes down when we're cramming for finals rather than midterms, because it is very involving and there's only so much I can log beforehand.

I'M SORRY MOMMY I'LL STOP EDITING NOW
