I wrote a long list of lore-fitting events (a mix of spontaneous/resultless and story important, spanning every region and inclusive of many factions) for the Admins to use with their event system. On their request, in late 2015. Only three were used, "Royal Flush Part II", "Kepler Crunch" (this one was admittedly a failure), and "The Empire Strikes First" (though I don't know if they used that name) ... and none since.
Apparently, the reason for this was that most of the current Admins are not trained with their current event system, so the one who is, is writing a simpler plugin for them. I could be mistaken. I'll not pin it on laziness, though.
There have been other events run instead, however, which I find quite curious. A spontaneous California event, the Harmony stuff, and Delta stuff a while back, and maybe a few others ... basically anything since the IKN stormed into Kyushu on January 3rd.
I'll let them comment on this without saying too much more, as I've been occasionally asking them privately for more than half a year now, to no avail.
