If you want to run an event for a future Events Night, make a post here with an unclaimed date and what you want to do. Once I confirm it, I'll post it on the website's news a few days before the event, plus schedule it on our Steam group and site calendar for all to see.

You can base your event on the pre-made event patterns available on the website, or design your own.

In your post, make sure to include:

Date and time of the event (plus timezone!)
What type of event
Participation prizes, if any

As a reminder, Events Nights run between 9pm Eastern (01:00 UHC in summer, 02:00 in winter) Saturday to the same time on Sunday.

It's tradition to start events within an hour after starting Events Night, but it is not required.

Questions? Contact me through forum private messages or on Discord.

Brackets generator

If you're running a tournament of some sort, with 1 vs 1 battles, you can use the above link to automatically generate brackets and randomly place the participants.

If needed, it also lets you set a battle to determine the third place.

Upcoming events

9 April to 17 April: Easter event
30 April to 7 May: Scavenger hunt by Kimonellos

Past events

17 March: Reb's event
3 July: Party on Paradise Resort Island

Starting on Saturday, July 3rd at Event Night start, I will be hosting a party on Paradise Resort Island. This will coincide with the ending of the Bungalow Building Contest (To be announced soon!).

So grab your rockets, and plan on a night to rival the Block Party earlier this year!

Confirmed and scheduled! It's your responsibility to keep track of the top three winners, so make sure to show up on time and keep an eye on the scores.

I'll post a news item about this on the website 2 or 3 days before the event.

On Saturday, September 18th, I would like to host a PVP Battle Royale tournament at Orist's Arena. This battle will only use vanilla gear so people have an equal chance at victory. This battle will begin at 9:00 PM, when event night starts, and will last until 11:00 PM, so it's 2 hours of pure battle. Anyone interested is invited! Prepare for war!

                                                               -Sincerely, Dashie

This coming Sunday, November 28th, I'd like to host another round of Drip Leaf Spleef at 7pm EST. Event will take place at my Drip Leaf arena located just north of Central. Length of event will be dependent on how many people attend. The game tends to move pretty quickly so chances are it won't last overly long.

I'd like the standard merit points to be the prizes, if possible.

Hope to see you all there!

Thanks, GB

Hello,

If nothing else is already scheduled, I'd like to host an event at the start of event night this Saturday (1/15). The event will be Bullseye, my newly created archery based game. Duration of the event will be dependent on how many people show up, but I can't imagine it will take more than hour as it's fairly fast paced. The event will take place in my gaming area just north of central, near Dripleaf Spleef and Sumo.

I'd like to request the standard event prizes please.

Hope to see you all there.

Thanks, Groovy

All yours, the schedule is open for a building contest around these dates. Preparing the building grounds is up to you; get in touch if you need help in finding a suitable location. Also consider the various guidelines you'll give to the players before it starts!
