Event Cycle *ALL READ*

[A Ghost in the Wind]

I said I'd have a poll up, and I do. I always try and give the handlers a voice when it comes to making decisions regarding the fed as a whole.

So, basically, what I want to know is how you, the starting handlers of the reopening, feel about cards.

Originally, I was thinking of having three events a month, with two Traumas and one PPV. The way I had it thought out was that, per Trauma, you'd get a one week rp deadline, and with the PPV, you'd have two weeks to write rps.

But there have been other ideas tossed my way, and before we reopen, I'd like to know for sure, what we want to do.

Another idea was that there could be a ten-day rp cycle, where there would still be two Traumas and one PPV per month, with each receiving 10 days to rp for.

And the last idea was instead of having three events per month, we have two- just two Traumas, each with a two week deadline. However, every other month, we'd have a PPV, which would give us one Trauma and one PPV, each with a two week deadline. So for each one PPV, we'd have three Traumas. It'd still be 2 shows per month, but it'd allow the PPVs to be built up more with Trauma.

Your opinion matters. Vote now. The poll will be closed in 10 days [or Christmas].

Here's how I see it. Too much too often equals burnout, and we want to preserve this as long as possible. In my experience, we have two weeks to do one RP, while in that two weeks, the staff has the time to prepare a quality show. Same for a PPV. Better RPs with more time, but not too much time elapses that it gets boring. PPVs are even stronger, but it's not too much too often. The quality of the RPs and shows will be better well spaced out, so I vote for the two weeks option.

[Grimm]

That was pretty much the reasoning behind my vote, too.

[Loki]

Hooray I came up with a good idea!!

[Ace Anderson]

I voted. I miss you guys. I miss writing fiction. Everything I write now is serious. If I wrote more fun stuff, maybe the serious stuff would get fun too.

That said, if the option leading the poll at the moment (the two week one) ends up as the one, I could hack it. I don't know if I'll write as Ace, or as Silence, or if I'll make up a totally new character for a fun and fresh start. I guess it's good I have the holiday to think about it.

I just hope I remember how to do this after a 3 year hiatus.

OMFG it's Drew!!!!

DREEEEEEEEEEEEEEW ~glomps~

::cue Chester A. Bum:: HOORAY!

As much as I'd like to have 3 shows per month--for higher quality storylines and hype it just makes more sense to have 3 Traumas of PPV build instead of 2.

I hope this new event schedule works out. It seems our 5th card will happen in March.
