One thing about doing these things is getting enough folks aware they are happening. Id really like to know the percentage of total players that actually even occasionally view the forums. My guess would be 30% or less.
Even by going in the arena and announcing the idea on channel 200, few people respond. To many the game IS the MA, the land grabbing and vulching. As much passion we have towards scenarios, theirs lie in the MA regular stuff.
We'd probably never get much involvement from that crowd anyways. The most we could hope for is grabbing some guys who dont read the forums but do like the idea of scenarios. I know when I first started joining scenarios, I was afraid Id screw something up. Thinking is was was the old hands and they probably didnt want me there anyways. Then I learned they were happy to get anyone in there, and after a few events, they themselves become old hands.
I did like doing it in the MA. Like Paul said, people do seem attached to it. Even though its just a click away from the other arenas. I think I would like to try it again, and soon while the iron is hot. Maybe folks will be more ready to join in early the next time around. Unless its a regular event, I probably forego the idea of scoring, and concentrate mainly on participation.
I think I'll work on another one for next week, give me some ideas please and I'll get to work on it. Then its up to us to spread the word, and possibly make the idea of this seem routine, and the place to be on that night.
