War Room Closure
« on: 02/16/16, 07:09:14 PM »
Greetings!
As a community changes and evolves, events rise to fill certain needs, scratch RP itches and provide coordination and interest. As time passes, the need for such events may cease and the events themselves may even become something detrimental to the community. So too do interests and life circumstances change.

When I started The War Room with Bolas I saw a need for it. As the community has grown and expanded, the need for it has lessened and finally with all the upheaval of KOTFE, I feel the time has passed.

Additionally I have real-life professional commitments that make the scheduled time very hard to attend, as you have no doubt noticed over the last few months. I do not have the ability to attend and manage my own event as I would like. I feel this is a disservice to the community and to the folks I have tapped to stand in, in my stead and work rather than play. I am essentially squatting on an evening when it could be put to better use, and that's not something I want to do.

For these reasons among others I've decided to end the event.

I am not looking for someone to take this event over or to adopt it and continue running it on their own. This is a non-negotiable point for me. Instead, I encourage taking this opportunity to try something new and to expand your horizons! There is a ton of great stuff post KOTFE to explore. Go forth and explore it!

I look forward to seeing what folks might invent and look forward to participation as a player.

I thank the folks who assisted me in sending out invites during the time when I was unavailable, and for everyone who attended over the past few years. I also thank my guild for donating and contributing time, credits and decos to the play spaces we have. The SH looks awesome! I look forward to running stuff with you folks in there without the pressures and limitations of hosting a public-facing event.

*salutes* You were great, War Room, you shown me a great time of RP and introduced me to this great community , it's sad to you go  :cry:, but we shall go forth with new and interesting things in the future!  :grin:

You made a great service to the community, Aylaa, and it was until it's very end one of hotspots for RP in the Imp side. You didn't had to, but you did it because you wanted to offer a point where we could all join and put up a great time for all of us.  :cheer:


Now...what the hell do I do on Wednesdays Night?   :think:

You are the best Aylaa. I was sorry to not see you at your own event for a while now, and I hope that you can now enjoy the game in other ways and not have the stress of managing that over your head :) Hopefully some new things, Imp and Pub, will be encouraged to come up soon.

Thanks for all the hard work you've put in over the years, and onto new things together!

Thank you for your service to the community, Aylaa. War Room has been a place of good times for everyone. So, thank you.

Though I must ask- Why not someone put together a similar weekly event? There is still a Republic-specific community event; shouldn't Imperials have similar during the week?

We used to have 3 events: Rishi on Monday, War room on Wednesday and Barge on Friday. Now we're down to one. I think having an event related to the Empire fighting Zakuul is not excessive. War Room routinely had 8-12 people in attendance. We just need someone to volunteer to set something up, I think.

I would love to see one!  I'm limited in running anything on weeknights but would definitely commit to attend some, really needing a chance to get some of my chars off the ground too. ;) 

Additionally as Wraiths begin moving in an Alliance direction I may some events more public and cross faction.  Love to include more folks in some of those... though any thing cross-faction requires some reliable Imp-side folks I can coordinate with, preferably over skype or discord or some other chat program.

Valefor has something in the works, as a weekly Imperial gathering. However we're both still setting up, and letting the dust settle on War Room first.

Just a reminder to please use the Events system if Valefor Guild is hosting a publically accessible Event. This will not only help with advance notice of who is participating, it will possibly catch the attention of our newer community members and encourage them to sign up and attend!
I knew some of the Palace history, but not the bit about Jaade crashing that barge. That's good lore, right there.  :grin:

We definitely will be, and there will be a public announcement on the forums soon too :) at the moment we're still in pre-production.

Thanks so much for hosting and running these events, Aylaa. I just may or may not know a thing or two about hosting a long-running recurring event, so I have immense appreciation for anyone who does the same.

As I said in my original post - I think the need for my event as it stood is gone.

There is plenty of room for someone to make an imperial imperial event or a cross faction event or an independant-but-we-play-imperial faction event.

If you wanna make one either a one-off or a recurring or a monthly or bi-annual gala, then there's the calendar! Go for it!

I'm just not going to be hosting the weekly War Room. I don't have the time or the energy to reformat my weekly thing into something else. Too much baggage on what it was and I am certain there are other individuals with interesting ideas and more time than I have to devote to curating and maintaining things.

Go build something new. Make it your own thing. I will not be approving any War Room 2.0 schemes. that was what I did. go create something all your own!
