EVENTS
Events are special threads that are designed to engage the community and bring them together for a plot and can expand to several threads.
Example
The Dirty Snakes have recently acquired a relic from an ancient planet. Derry decides that the relic is too powerful to be kept all together due to a strange aura emitting from it. So he decides to hand pieces of the relic to other members to protect them. The word spreads that a relic was discovered on Earth and that the citizens or whoever spotted the Dirty Snake Members have such a relic. Based on the rumors spreading around, this relic has a strange power that others want for whatever reason......
"How it could possibly work?"
A faction wants to start an event that involves the collecting of a particular relic from the members in that faction. They would be spread across certain boards. Those who would wish to participate, would fight, negotiate, etc in order to obtain this relic from said individual guarding it. By collecting all of these relics and combining them, that is where the next step takes place.
Special Event
A Special Event is similar to an AT. You can't get wounded here, however you would be rewarded with perhaps bonus XP for participating with malus and double malus still in effect. Special events can only be triggered once an original event takes place.
Now going with the example here. The special event would give the faction leader and their crew a second chance at getting the relics back from those who stole it from them. No matter what side wins, all participants are given the bonus xp. If I were to make a guess at what the relic could be used for, here is one example.
Scenario A
The faction leader and their crew is able to assemble the relics all together in one place. After the situation that ensued from it. The dirty snakes wish to change a board on the Earth permanently. Examples could include toxic gas that includes people to wear a mask or something along those lines when rping on that particular board.
Scenario B
The group of people who decided to get all of the relics together, decide to split its power and instead use it for good. Which allows them a free 20% heal that can only be used one time.
By promoting this type of event and scenario. It can expand to perhaps days, weeks, and maybe a month or so of activity with others as a community. Working together with a simple task such as this. Maybe it could be expanded upon, but this is what I got so far.
