We will NEVER speak of this event. Ever again.
All I can suggest is try not holding it in the D. That place tends to breed a different type of RPer.
I was at the event, and I had fun. Still, it could have gone better, certainly. One issue was the turnout, which was okay but kind of low for the size of prizes offered. For myself, I watched, but didn't participate. I've thought over my reasoning, and I think it points to one way an event like this might be better in the future.
Basically, for me, having my character in a contest to be matched up with an unknown bachelor put me out of my comfort zone. I realize the bachelors being a mystery was part of the core theme of the event, and that wouldn't have been changed. Yet, putting a bit more of a bound on the event's outcome would have helped immensely. As it was advertised, the purpose was "...to essentially pair up three contestants with three of the contest's 'mystery', but eligible bachelors!" This leaves unspoken what expectations, if any, there might be afterwards. Granted, they're not suddenly going to get into roleplayed long term romances, but at the other end of the spectrum, just logging out with 500 million seems kind of crass, imo. The theme of the event felt like a bachelorette auction, sort of, and in those usually there's an in-character date/mission/something afterwards. I think it would have helped to have some idea of how the event would conclude -- maybe a "couples" walk around the D or suchlike.
The organization could have been much better. The judges weren't sharing time, and didn't even seem to be on the same page for what to ask and when to ask it. In any event with a lot of participants, there needs to be a firm hand on the schedule and individual roles so that any one person doesn't get carried away with their role at the others', and the event's, expense.
While this one event didn't turn out so well, I commend and thank those who organized and ran it, and especially The Crom since even though the event was halted due to chaos, he passed out consolation prizes to all the contestants -- that was very decent of him 
I'm sorry I did not mean to disrespect event I just thought funny the progression from first to honeymoon

Greetings fellow Virtue-ites!
I am here to inform you all of the preparation of our FIRST annual "Spring Fling Matchmaking!" event. This will be an RP'd, IC affair that will be broadcast on Paragon Public Broadcast Channel and the WSPDR station in the Isles.
The whole vibe of the event will be very familiar and in the vein of certain reality TV shows in the past, albeit with an edgy, prime-time vibe!
The Details
The 'Competition' will take place on Saturday, Feb 25th. at 8pm EST in Pocket D. Virtue server, obviously.
Prospective 'contestants' will be asked to line up neatly along the far right wall of the D (side without the base teleporter).
The purpose of the contest is to essentially pair up three contestants with three of the contest's 'mystery', but eligible bachelors!
The contest will be broken down into three separate 'costume' contests with their own unique theme based around the "Fling" theme! The contestants will be selected by a panel of judges and the "mystery bachelors" for each round of the competition, progressively narrowing down the winning contestants to just three contestants. The contestants will be asked a battery of prepared and improvised background/personality questions by the event's Host and Judges.
Once the winning contestants have been chosen for the final round, they will be awarded a "Dower" of over 500m inf.!
The Themes
Contest No.1: "First Date"
Contestants are encouraged to "dress to impress", just as they would on any other date in order to make an impression on both the Judges and Bachelors! Several contestants will be chosen from the pool of candidates and then asked a series of 'introductory' questions. Those who express the qualities, characteristics, and personalities that appeal most to the Bachelors will be graduated onto the second round of the competition!
Contest No.2: White Wedding
Your first date went well, and now it's the Wedding Day! Contestants are encouraged to wear clothing that closely fits the 'Wedding' theme of this round. Once more, they will be subjected to a battery of questions improvised by the Judging panel and Host of the event.
Contest No.3: Honeymoon
This is the last and final round of the competition! Those contestants who have progressed to this last round will once more be asked a series of questions pertaining to the theme of the event. Contestants are encouraged to dress accordingly for the theme. Think outside the box! This theme does not necessarily have to be confined to negligee or nightwear!
We look forward to a fun, entertaining event and hope to see you there!
