Welcome to Gaia! ::

I didn't do a whole lot of anything as a judge. The times I was online and reading, there didn't seem to be alot of complaints that couldn't be resolved among the players. The complaints that were their, were solved before I got there.

Overall however, it was very enjoyable to read, and despite the fact that I didn't do much judging, i'd love to judge or help out in some way in another event like this.

I will agree however and say it was too short, and at the begining I was completely lost in how the system worked. I think I got a grasp on it now...maybe..

Good job though, and contact me if anything comes around.

I'll be back for results n' such.

I loved the event, the mines took me for a spin, but other then that I was loving it. The only thing we need to change, Swat Zombie’s idea but a very good one, is that teams should all post together. There were a lot of times when, depending on who attacked who you wouldn't get a post before they were forced to react on their turn. Team based turns would let the team post before or after each other, for set up team attacks, and defend one another as well.

All and all, loved the capturing of locations, loved the dam, almost had a heart attack over the artifact, and still think that the settlers could have 6-manned Omnikron. blaugh

Well, there’s always next time, and I’m definitely coming back!

Mozz~

What can I say, it was a great event and I enjoyed taking part in what I could.

Unfortunately I become ill Friday night and Saturday I was really bad so I did not appear Saturday, I just managed to be able to take part today. But the time I did take part, I really enjoyed it.

Yes there was acouple of things against it-

1. It was too short, it should like others of said been held over a week or longer. With the objectives being laid out abit further and if it was longer some more objectives to go for.

2. I was abit confused on where to start from, when I first came in. I wish there could of been thread titles like- Shades Base, start point etc.

3. And one last point, which is a small one. Was to set like a time were everything stopped so that there was a clear rest period for people to go and get some sleep, then it would be up to the individual when they continued on the next day.

I can not wait for the next one, please let me know when the next one is coming up.

Also thankyou to Shades, who were a great team. I was glad to be apart of them.

Addressing a few points people are bringing up.



1. While I agree that 3 days is a little short for everything that we wanted to accomplish, especially when battles would take a good 8 hours of nonstop wailing on things in order to reach some sort of tenative conclusion...

On Friday I was here from 12 PM until 2 AM moderating things.
On Saturday I was here from 3 PM until 8 AM moderating things.
On Sunday I was here from 2 PM until we ended moderating things.

That's 39 hours in three days that I spent, in this chair, in two different chatrooms, with three other IM windows open, keeping track of three different threads AND any movement on the thread index.

To make a better RPing experience for the rest of you.
To keep things moving, so that it didn't seem like a bunch of empty, useless threads that had no NPC life other than what you gave it.
To stop arguments before they got out of hand.

I would have loved to do a week with this... but it's really hard on us. sweatdrop

2. This is probably just a continuation of 1, but... it rolls 24 hours a day, as per what the poll vote said. We were originally going to throw down 6 or 7 hour posting windows for the event, but since a lot of people are in different time zones and have obligations which can keep them from participating at some points, we thought we'd be a little more generous. We wouldn't have had that awesome seige of the ******** Alamo if it weren't for the ability to continue at odd, even insane hours. o__o;;

People can interact whenever they want... however, with all the judges offline, there's a limit to how much action we can throw out. Things pretty much stopped once JB decided to go to bed, and I think that was for the best honestly.

3. Team chat is a must, and enriches the experience. We've been doing event chatrooms since Grand Wish back in September 2003. It's just great to be able to plan and coordinate a strategy with your team in real time. To be able to get info about things happening in threads you're not watching, so that everyone is on the same page.

4. Rock on, people. Rock on. *Salute.* I only wish those of you who didn't get to participate much had had more time...

However, on the same note, I can't take another day of this. :laugh:

I don't have much to say, only that I wish the event had lasted longer. We had a powerout in my city that finally ended about an hour ago.

It was really fun, only more moderation would have helped keep some people in check.

Also, maybe a post that showed you how to get everywhere, like a map that said which threads linked to which, and where you'd eventually end up. That'd be helpful.

On the second day we finally got a map up in the 'thread dominance' sticky. Probably should have made an announcement about it, though.

We were short 4 moderators pretty much the entire week. crying


Everyone who was there agrees.

I don't think there's anyway to adress hours without cutting it real short to a few per day, which would limit what gets to happen, but...

I would personally suggest an event run for about a week. Two days of objective and moderator work, followed by a 'moderator's day off' where there were no objectives given and in camp/team rp'ing was incouraged over fighting or other things that might need a judge to do something they don't feel like.

Then repeat the 2-1 thing until your event is over.

Side note: It was nothing, Owle.
But I rock anyway. cool
