Hmmmmyes, I wil give my +1 to that.

A summary of previous events or backstory would really help situate the event is the larger story of Atys, and would mostly only require a few sentences, plus links to the previous events or relevant lore for those who want more details.

Some "behind the scenes" information, specially on the goals, outcome, and player choices and their effects, would really help to drive home the point that the players had an effect on the world, and would again only require a few sentences.

Seems definitely worth it.

Also, if an official thread is made for every event in this way, it will help invite the players to fill in the rest of the details. If anyone wants to know a detail that the Event Team left out in their synopsis, they can ask in that thread, and hopefully other players will answer it before the Event Team will even have to. :)

Heh, it just so happens that I just ran accross a little background that's probably exactly what you mean, Erizon. The following is from the Matis lore:
This Yene has been mentioned recently here, and was in this event of almost a year ago. And even though the above was public knowledge all that time, I doubt anybody realised it, so we all just saw her as "random NPC" rather than "head of the Matis assassin's guild". Which kind of means we all totally miss a part of the story that's going on.

I just felt a need to mention that here as it's exactly what you mean by background needing to be summarised and shared, I think? :P

Thank you for the info. I had read the letter before but had missed the news letter by Tyrancha News. Sure wish some homin would rez something like the Tyrancha News.

As a noob, 6 days game time, I do not profess an in-depth knowledge of Atys lore. But I did spend lots of time reading the Wiki and the posts on forum. Is it not the players responsibility to do so?

Perhaps links to past items that pertain to an event could be added to the event so that homins will understand when things, like Fryos protest, happen.

Respect,

Well that's an interesting tidbit of information. Without Marelli, it could have gone mostly unnoticed for years.

*ahem*

...Which is why short summaries of past events is a neat idea... *cough* it was perfectly on topic. ^^;
