also, arent the event organizers the only ones allowed to make events like this?
This event is the one I started a thread about long time ago in "General Discussion". I told in that thread that I had no time and was asking for people to run this Event. Essence stepped up and got the job (actually others did too unless I'm mistaken but I'll find something else for you guys if you are still interested).
This event became a bit different than I had originally planned on. It's "bigger" and more complex, but I guess this is good practice for the upcoming War event.
Like I said to Essence in a PM, I didn't want to event to be too big because making a big USA vs. The World event might just lead to a lot of anti-US mentality and smack talk, maybe even divide the community a bit.
Hopefully everyone realizes this is just for fun.
Essence if you have time you might want to update the first post to show how many people have signed in so far. This way we know which side is lacking players and can maybe do something about it.
