Anyone saying this #Halloween2018 event was a disaster did not experience that mess.
I was promised a budget of 1000T$. Then as time went on, the budget went lower and lower and lower.
200T$ as a total for prizes. So I came up with the idea to do little events, enter all the winners into a raffle for a large portion of that prize.
Then on the day, do a lil Trick or Treat type thing.
Treat = T$ or a gift
Trick = -T$ or a short ban
All random and just for silliness. It didn't need to be a huge event, but I wanted something that anyone and everyone could take part in.
Most of my ideas got shot down so it was pretty tough to stay motivated.
Then the moderation chaos happened.
Well actually, first Johneh suddenly cancelled the event, but JustMe and BrandonPinzu contacted me to say they wanted to keep the event going. So we were going to head more in the -trick- direction.
Then Tengaged_Moderation got shut down.
Which officially killed the event.
All in all, events are difficult. Especially with this crowd.
I want to congratulate Admin for keeping their cool and actually keeping the event going. We need things like this.
But I would say an Event Coordinator should be separate from the Moderation.
Admin can administrate it, but let someone else manage it, both jobs are too much for one person, Randomize.
Remember the Jubbzy days? There was a T_Mod team and a games coordinator. And that was with a smaller community and less chaos.
Honestly, I was sad I wasn't asked to help with the event, but I understand why. My life is a mess right now.
