No one said anything about canceling events except you =P
It seems really odd that it's an all-or-nothing approach: either you can get a sub-paraphrased generalization of an event, or no event at all? If you want to cancel events because of the lack of time or real life that could plague a small events staff, then please don't point fingers at the players who want more information about what was going on.
I described it as a small matter because to plan, script, and choreograph an event, you have to already have the majority of the details prepared. If an event is designed to be flexible, that could introduce some unknown that may take some time. But a large part of what I'm asking for is a subset of what has already been prepared before the event takes place. Even the flexible outcomes need to be factored into the next event, so that work has to be done already anyway as well. At least ... I'm hoping this much detail is involved in running the events?
If the events are really stacked so tightly that the events team is facing a time crunch, perhaps fewer meetings with the Queen could be scheduled ;) But seriously, "don't take on more than you can handle" is very appropriate. Speaking for myself, but hopefully echoed by others, I would rather see events of substance as opposed to an hour of sit down, listen to monologue, and then asked a yes/no question only certain people can answer to conclude the event; as others mentioned, this could have been handled as a forum post and saved the events team (and players) a lot of time.
There are already some "leaks" being passed around to select people, such as followup information related to the Matis wedding. I'm also asking to make that official, instead of being passed around in semi-private. It keeps everyone on the same page, and raises the bar of quality for the events themselves.
I suspect such a level of openness from the events team could further help reduce claims of Matis-Karavan favouritism. If we know what the event was supposed to accomplish, then we might think there is more to it than just a Matis soap opera.
