    In my opinion, another committee or event group isn't the answer. It often ends up detracting from the original goal, (events for Champion by Champion), by adding another layer to get through. It also then differentiates between x events (x being whatever the group is called) and events run by individuals. I don't think that's good.

    I don't think what adorable name the group has matters, or what the motto is, or whatever. I don't think there should even be a group that formalized. I get it, some people like committees. Status and recognition, I get it.

    What I think is important is that there is a support framework in place for events. So that anyone can come and say "I've got an idea for an event but I'd like help running it". I think the framework should be just that, a framework. Not an organization, not a committe, just a bunch of people who will help run events or run events as needed.

    I think what would be best is that if someone really wanted to help events for the server, then they just put their name forward as someone to talk to for events. So if someone asks "hey I want to run an event but I've got questions/would like some help" people can say "chill ****, talk to @SuperpantsMcFly or @Ultrafabulous" or they themselves can volunteer as willing.

    The primary focus should be the events, not the organization that runs them.
    Gonna answer this one for Dazzy since I brought this exact idea up when I was helping him put the survey together. He said this was tried as a model of running events but most of the people refused to bring ideas to the committee because they were afraid the committee would steal their event idea from them. I know, crazy.

    Here's an even crazier part. If you want the help, then just ask. You do have the ability to PM Dazz or the others in the new setup. These are people who just want to help make Champion a fun place and I'm fairly certain they'd be happy to lend a hand.

    Lastly, Consider for a moment that these are people who are taking away from their own playtime to create fun and social interactions for you. If you don't like it, fine, but realize this is a volunteer effort and if you believe it is run incorrectly then go out and run events in your own way.

    How about you? Killer squirrel arc hiding out there somewhere?
    Actually, Silas made a squirrel arc for me! I dunno if he kept it since it was sort of a joke, but its out there.

    As for me, I have two arcs finished but I keep rotating the third one. I'm never happy with it, lol.
