Something Wicked This Way Comes... (event planning - draft stage)

Some of you have heard rumours.

Others already know.

There is something massive looming over Protector's horizon, and your presence will be required when it finally comes into place. (ie: on July 9)

For now, we plan.

But even if P.E.R.C., the Mentor Project, the Protector Players' Event Team, KJSR.net radio, and the PVP enthusiasts who brought you the Thursday Night Fights are already hard at work, it will not be enough.

This is where you come in, if you're interested in ensuring Protector's best foot is put forward.

We are looking for groups and players who would wish to conduct their own operations (ie: host activities such as competitions, contests, etc.) within the framework we are currently working on, or do so from your own angle, as you see fit.

Financing of your operations is left entirely up to you, as is all administration and management. We simply ask that you let us know the details. (ie: do what you want, offer prizes as you wish - just let us know the who, what, when, where to coordinate it all).

All types of operations are authorized, and if you prefer to volunteer your services or your financial resources instead, that is also acceptable. (ie: if you want to help out in an existing event, or by donating inf., that's great!)

If all you can do is join in when that fateful day arrives, that is already appreciated. It will definitely be worth your while. (ie: about 10 billion inf. in prizes is already set aside for some of the events we've planned)

Please leave your coordinates here, or contact me in private, and we will ensure that whatever SG, VG, group you wish to sign up gets the opportunity to shine when the time comes. (ie: feel free to use this to promote your own SG/VG, group, whatever)

Get ready Protector.

Stock up.

It's going to be a long day. (ie: no, really. it's all day long)

Sadly, this is extremely vague and is not giving me incentive to want to help out - posting specific details would be helpful here, especially if people are going to participate. Okay, you're planning something that's a Big Mystery, that's all I'm getting out of this. Rumours? Haven't heard any. Know? Nope, don't know anything about this.

Until more specifics are posted, I'll just watch to see what happens.

This is intentionally vague because it is still under planning.

I tried to present things in light RP style, while still giving little explanations OOC, but I apparently that didn't work out anywhere close to what I wanted.

Recap then:

Large scale, day-long series of events, to be officially announced at a later date.

A chance for others to use this structure to promote their own activities in their own way.

A cooperation between multiple event organizers and promoters, with possibly even more joining in later, on a scale rarely seen before on Protector and with a current prize package of 10 billion inf., so far.

Hope this helps.

That sounds intruiging

I already know...

...but I'm not telling. :X

Stale you do know that Something Wicked This Way Comes... is an Iced Earth album right? http://www.icedearth.com/discography...this-way-comes

So Ray Bradbury is coming to this event dressed as a Carnival of Shadows Illusionist. Highly intriguing.

I liked Fahrenheit 451 but I'm not very prone to organizing anything.. I enjoy participating in understated vague events though so sign me up for whatever it is that I'm signing up for.

I need to know when the event day is before I can commit anything, but I'd be happy to pitch in. Maybe run all the Task Force Commander trails or something like that. If not TFs, then certainly some sort of Accolade focused event. Blue Side only. Global is @Lorax, let's get in touch.

for me collge classes and work could be an issue for that date if I am needed to help Stale just FYI.

Confirmed: This is indeed Saturday, July 9.

...sorry Toxic.

But it *is* all day long, and might extend into the evening, so whatever you can do is fine.

As for the people who have expressed an interest in volunteering or running your on events, I will definitely get in touch with you (probably not before tomorrow). If you can shoot me some idea of your activity, that would be even better. Thanks.

More news and stuff to come.

STUFF?! We needs more now!

I've already received some names interested in getting involved.

We're still accepting entries until further notice.


I'd also like to point you to the official thread now, since we're putting it up today:

Applicants for hosting events should still contact me in person, or use this current thread.

For those curious, here's a rundown of the current people who have confirmed their involvement in this event, and their main roles (not necessarily exclusive, and deliberately kept at minimal information):

In fact gang, I'll throw something at you now. I need a few characters for cameo appearances in later parts of the story. This might be a simple way to participate even if you can't contribute to something bigger.

I can use heroes or villains on Protector (but not anyone that hasn't left Praetoria please.)

If you wish to take part in this, I will ask you to PM me with the Character's name and a brief description of powers and/or appearance.

Characters you contribute to this will only be used in forum postings and you're not committed to anything else.

Who knows, I might make you famous...

The universe is tilting. Need to set things right...

Hickman. Hickman! Hickman!!!

Hah, I didn't even have to say anything.

I am inwincible.....
