Plans for a Player Event Team? or PET?

hey guys, I was wandering if there were any plans for a PET. There were ones on our separate servers (enumerator and input I know of) and could serve us nicely.

benefits:

-This would help us out so that people interested in starting up an event can goto the members and help them get it started, advertised, and staffed by other players willing to help out.

-This can also help out with players who have alt. characters that want to remain anonymous...so they don't have to post their alt characters' name on the forums. This way the events team can post it for them which would made it seem more official as well as keep the person who started the event anonymous if they want to.

-we can have people from all orgs in this group and it will stimulate more player events having said people on hand to input for events or event make an official "PET" event.

Suggestion for structure:

I'm thinking (my personal opinion) that we would need maybe 3-6 people as the officials and as many members as we can take.
The officials would be 2 from each org, and would do the "work" of the group. Organizing, looking for participants to play key rolls in the events if needed, keeping infomation about the event private if needed.

the members will be the people willing to play key rolls in the story when needed. These people would need to be RPers through and through and need to be trustworthy people so that the officials can trust them to stay in character and not mess up the event on purpose.

Well, what do you think guys?

another thing this might help with is the officials can build a relationship with Walrus and hopefully get them to bring in some characters for some of these events...if there's a structure though.

I'd be game for that. We used to have one but it was very low key and it's somewhat fizzled out.

Count me in Bonopi.  I always love a good player run event!!



Lets get this going!

Well as some of you know, the Merovingian made an appearance at a player event. We need to get started on making really good story driven events to play out more regularly...

will anyone else help me get this started? Vector really needs more quality player events...not just pvp tournaments, but stuff with stories so that maybe we can get some characters to help us out eventually.

please help...

You know where to find me Bon. I'm always game for it.

i know PB...I'm just needing some mervs and machines to step up now so that we can have a fully realized team that represents all orgs so that noone thinks it'll be biased or anything. but really its just for player events so really it can still be done I guess. It'll just help a bunch.

I know a few, if they don't post here i'll give them a /t

Ive been trying to get somthing almost identical going like this for
quite some time instead of trying to compete with 2 different teams i
would like to offer my help as maybe an official for the machinest org.

I do alot of writing in my free time and i also can probobly help us
with other things as needed such as security for events to avoid party
crashers.

If your interested in my help pm me on trucidos im looking forward to hearing from you.

I'd love to help :0

Im in Bonopi.  Been waiting for something like this to happen on Vector.  Now its time to flex the RP muscle.

good to hear guys! :smileyvery-happy:

I'm realling liking the alt idea for making events...depends on the event I guess. If it can be pulled off using alts for the main characters...then it gerunteed to run smoothly since the main part of the stories can't be ruined by anyone.

Lets meet this week sometime. When is everyone available? tuesday/wednesday night/evening would be the best night(s) for me.

Digital Remnant has run two successful storyline events on Vector to date.



So far they have been Zionist only, but if the community is willing to
work together, we may be willing to expand to other orgs as well. 
Our events included multiple cinematics, live character interaction,
etc just like a live event should be.



We also have setup an event website that updates storyline as it progresses during each event.



We are getting better at it as we progress, and we'd like to help bring the Matrix story back into this server.



Factions that have participated in our events include:

Shadows of the Infinite

Furious Angels

The Black Market

Bullet Time

Network Imperium

The Unreal Armada



I'm glad you brought this up Bonopi.

I hope this doesn't deter any faction from doing their own events as well...and I'm glad that you guys are still keeping the player events alive.

Can we get a rep or two from your faction in this group since you guys have some good experience running events?

Just FYI, the existing PET team website is at http://pet.machinerealm.com



However a larger scale PET would be awesome and I'm well up for it

I'm glad to see interest in doing this for vector.

so far we've got zion and machines covered. we need mervs now...L.E.T. you down?
does anyone remember the website for enumerators project for the Park East non-pvp zone?

I've got a spot picked out for the meeting, now we just need a few mervs and we're set to roll.

We've got 2 player story events in the works already and will be rolled out soon as we start...keep an eye out for them, they'll be good.

I'd like to be involved, but not the organising side. Definately keep me updated :smileyhappy:

SajghO and RED Lights District will be glad to partecipate!

Just /tell me Bonopi...

Hey Shadow,

You forgot Morpheus' Legacy on your participation list. And those events were top notch stuff.

And we would be down for The PET team. I was Part of the PET that was developing before Pandora's box came out, but as Pblade said it fizzled. I would be happy to help however I can with the PET. Have you had the meeting yet? If not I'll be on tonight to meet with anyone.

OK guys!

We have the first event in the works and should be rolling out sometime next week. This is just the begining and will be getting more people involved soon with the implementation of the website and a structure. I'm thinking that 5 people from each org should be a good start but I need to make sure that those 5 people will stick with it. What I need though is email addresses from those interested. I've already got 1 from each merv and machines and me so we need 4 more from each org. Those who posted interest in this thread already will be first picked if they get me email addresses...pm me the emails please.

once we get everything worked out we're going to need volunteers to play the key rolls in the event. Don't forget to pm me or the others in the initial group once I post who they are. This first event is not going to be as big as events afterwards cause we're getting our feet wet, so the first people interested will be able to participate.

I'm really looking forward to bringing out this first event cause its going to be a specticle, even for those not playing in it!

please just send me a pm in these forums with your email address so that I can email everyone involved...also, please let me know what org you are from. thanks for the interest.

I'm going to try and get a meeting together...thursday night after 10pm est

Ah that's me out then, I was afraid being UK time would rule me out, just one of those problems. Good luck with this though, glad someones taking it into their hands :smileyhappy:

afer 10est!

PSSSHT!

it was a spur of the moment desicion pblade...sorry. I needed to get it started. Don't worry I'm sending you the info.

ok guys...
Alot of things have been happening and PET is moving forward very fast. Thanks for everyones help.
The website is almost done as well as the first PET event. Its going to be a small trial event to get things rolling and all spots are almost filled.
If anyone can help out by creating and maintaining a forum it would move things along faster.
I'm really looking forward to getting this service out to Vector!

If needed I could probably make a forum, but it'd be a subdomain of my website.

it shouldn't be a problem...
just as long as when someone hits the forum button on the PET site it goes directly to the forum...which is easy to do.
Can you customise the look of the forum at all or is it a set look?

good to see this off the ground, keep me informed guys, i'm definitely still interested.

okay i created the forums for now. They arent done, but I installed the forums,subdomain and theme.

wow Q they look great! :smileyvery-happy:
It's exactly what I was hoping for.
I put some ideas for new sections in a thread on there.
Now that the forums are up and running...I just need to tweak a couple things and the website should be up at least by thursday night if not before...hopefully.

thankx man, i was looking for themes for SMF forums and found that one. Looks great!

ran into another snag...hosting.
can anyone help me host this website?
if there's an alternative to paying the monthly fee it would be helpful cause I don't know how long I can afford to do this and pay to play the game.

Again I could host it on that subdomain, but get someone else to design
the page. Then they could just send me all the html and images and I'll
put it up.



I dont feel like designing webpages :O

ive got the website built already:smileyvery-happy:.

I just need to tweak a few things before its done and I'll email it to you.
can you send me your email address so I can email it to you.

oh and we'll have a signup for people to register to be a part of events in the future.
Goto the above forums and register.

I emailed you my email, so you can email me



I'll put up all those sections today at work. But please sign up for the forums if your interested in being a part of PET.



PS. I'm providing my website's bandwidth, storage, etc just for fun and
because I dont really use what this PET website would demand. I have
wayyy too much storage and bandwidth I dont use, so it's my pleasure to
help out another player if I can.  Now I just hope I dont screw up
and the site goes down
