Events

In PWO, there are story beats known as Events that can be organized by Staff and/or Ranked Players. These events can be any form of story driving action, such as the release of a new technology to the public, or a declaration of war by villainous entities. This page is here to help the Ranked Players to organize successful events, and to lead the story in a good direction.

Planning
The first step to running a successful Event in PWO is to first figure out what you are going to do. Why are you hosting this event? Does your character have an important announcement to make? Is your evil team making its first move in the region? First you must analyze what your going to be doing. Is there a reason the public needs to know about this? How is the message being spread across the region? Would you be able to successfully include everyone who may show up? Is this really event worthy, or could I just put it in Discordia?

Once you have all of those details worked out, you should move on to the next step of the Event Process, which is sending out the announcement. Keep in mind that this'll likely send a notification to many players depending on what options you select in the next few pages.

Menu
Navigating the Menu to find the Event Command may be difficult for those who have not had to use it before. To access the verb, you'll need to go into your Trainer Card(M) and select the Ranks Menu. Once you are there, you will need to select the Rank Icon that has permission to use the Event Command. To see if your rank can, please refer to the Ranks page, or simply test in game with this guide. To select the rank, you simply need to hover over the icon and click it once, and it should transform your Tool Bar into one with the Rank Commands. Simply select 'Event' and you should be met with a new menu after a short cool down.

Writing
After activating the Event command, you will be met with a text box, asking for your event's information. What you write here will be visible by all those that receive the notification, so it's best to put your best foot forward here. Often, you will be sending out a full RP statement to draw in the interest of many to partake in your event. The most important ideas to get across with your notification is what you are doing, and what kind of people should be showing up. If you are hosting a tournament, its best to get across that it is a tournament, and perhaps say the prizes to incentivize players to come and participate. After you have finished writing, its imperative to disclose the location and time of your event, or else no one will be able to find it.

Picture
After you have finished writing your notification and confirmed it, you will be greeted with another box asking you to select a picture for your Event. As they are not named well, I have compiled them all here for your convenience. Its best to select a picture that works well with your planned event, as it helps provide a bit of Context to the announcement.
