Back in the day we had KING of The Hill, those were pretty fun

MNM has sort of taken the place of an event we used to do... there was a map with several play areas, one being a long canyon. We used to have some knock down drag out fights in that canyon. Was a lot of fun.

I can make some suggestions for you.  These are based on my events and settings.

Player vs Player Combat Events:

ACM Within CV Fleets - There is an oceanic map with 28 CV fleets designed.  Divide the CV fleets in half and place them inside the same grid sector for all 9 keypads.  Each will have its own course inside the sector.  The key is to change the ack to .001.  That way, 1000 ack hits will count as 1 MA hit.

Assign one CV per side for operations.  Choose opposing AC and off you go.  Both sides fight with auto fire going off and taking no damage.  It makes for an exhilarating sight.

Player vs Player Non-Combat Events:

Jeep Races - simple to plan

C-47 Base Capture - start at the center of the map.  select how many troops for capture

Bomber Total Annihilation - a map that has trains and convoys still operating just don't remember the name

Sink the Fleets - same oceanic map with 28 CV fleets.  Place on the opposing side in the same sector grid.  Settings at your pleasure for hardness and ords restrictions and available AC.

Me-262 Race- same as jeep race

The real question is, what are you looking for, an Event or a Challenge, either combat or non-combat, by a team/squad or individual?

KOTH and Combat Challenge were successful for many years when the player count was way higher.  They were just dogfighting for the fighter guys.

Snapshot, Fortress Europe, and Sunday European Campaign were popular due to the attack and defend design.  They had the fighters, JABOs, and bombers for broader appeal.

Those 5 events are most likely dead in the water with current numbers.  Resurrection isn't likely unless numbers improve dramatically.

The ideal new event should be unique and different from FSO and Scenario.  Something that gets the player's attention immediately.  That can create buzz and excitement.  AND deliver on expectation.

That was and Still a Good ideal but with today's numbers you will barely see anyone in there like it used to be even if we set the arena up like it is now for Pearl harbor but no one goes there anymore,,, unless we have a major Jump in numbers and compared to today's gamers' they want instant action and all so I do not see AvA Hoping again like the old days
