I see that there is a general misconception about the IMG's role in this event between story and players. I've pinged people to add to the discussion, so we can hopefully resolve this. I personally don't know enough about the region to make any sweeping claims, so I'll defer to those who do. But yes, I prefer not to change an established narrative after it was announced. So if there are substantial issues, they can be fixed after the event is over.

From my experience, you are overestimating how much rulebreaking goes on at unofficial events. Even before 1.0 was in place, I don't remember a single instance where one of my unofficial events was deliberately derailed by people. I'm talking over 10 events without major issues. Sure, now and then you have indies jumping in, but even that was a minor nuisance, since they were usually newbs who just kinda flew around. And now, you have rule 1.0 to ensure that things go smoothly, since anyone who wants to derail an unofficial event with reasonable rules is a dick.
