Make the events as simple as possible, possibly the least lore impacting as possible (because that becomes an official event and the dev team needs to be involved, the event is then scheduled on the Valve/Haste time calendar) and especially, please avoid submitting events that are nothing but highways to faction powergaming like some submissions we've had, even sometimes disguised under the shroud of "good activity for everyone".
I really believe the admin team will take event suggestions into account this way. A simple event takes roughly 15/20 minutes to set up so it can be done.
Been there, done that, like a month ago, even asked JNC to submit it for me in official faction forums, as my name still not supposed to be deep blue. Dev team involvement is not an issue, I've got the green light half a year ago for even less than an event series, confirmed shortly before submission, I guess that also voids the powergaming issue part.
Yet nothing happened in a month, no feedback, questions from the staff, no communication at all, not even a "we are working on it" or a "we are busy/have lives". Sure it may not look simple, it's a series after all, but I tried to word each segment simple, provide all necessary data I can make with my lack of admin powers, and I'm gladly answering any arising questions, should there be any. And yet, there were none so far. None I received at least. Just a month of silence.
What can I expect now? You say admins know how to make events, should I take it as that they are, instead of just incompetent, they are busy, or even lazy? Some previous staff members dropped the green name or made temporary leave notices, you yourself did both for example, perhaps that could be a general practice, so at least we know who to count on.
PS: And Lyth is a kid, even Floodifying his own faction's feedback thread with memes because he couldn't take feedback, the best anyone can do is ignore him.
