It’s me. I’m the staff

i don't get angry when i'm pissed; i'm the eternal optimist.
straight up, i love events. i love making events with weird prompts and mechanics, and seeing how people take those and run. it's hella satisfying to watch, and i adore reading every single event thread community members make because of that. the threads i've read and written in the past few weeks have been absolute gems, man



coming soon.

I'm a little scared to be solo administrating this Pokemon RP. This is the first time I've run a forum while working a full-time job, and I don't have much experience with staffing a Pokemon site, but I'm finding my footing!

I really need like... advertisement staff. and event staff. These are my two worst things and I know it. As much as I like events and dramatic things, they never seem to take off because they're not required. And for advertising. THE CAPTCHAS are MURDER... I hate them T.T

i mean. maybe it's just me, but if site events aren't taking off because member interest isn't there when they're not required, i'd just either stop doing them or appropriately scale them back to be "breaks from the norm" rather than be-all end-all site-changing developments.

but i say that as someone who's climbed hard onto the train of thought that trying to force an ideal onto a site that a memberbase that's not interested in it is just an exercise in futility akin to trying to herd cats, so. ymmv.

Most of my events could probably disappear entirely and no one would bat an eye. It's a lot of just whatever seasonal thing is going on at the time, like hanami in the springtime or whatever. Usuaaaally they're not hyper plot important. It does happen from time to time though. But yes. Memberbase is like herding cats. agreed lol.

I think type of event comes into play here, too.

Some groups prefer stuff that’s more socially oriented, some that are more PVP, some that feel like D&D campaigns unlocking site lore. Helps to figure out which type of event gets the best response. Trial and error until you finagle the magic combos.

My early mod events were hot garbage. Once I got experience and paid attention to what my members liked, my events were way more efficient and married things I liked to do to things I knew people would enjoy. Was easier to predict where I should put my effort.
