PvP Event Polling #2

[RootRanger]

Two months ago in the thread here I received useful feedback that has been incorporated into my newest event, and I thank you for that.

I now have a few more questions regarding the hosting process, rather than the event rules. Feel free to discuss your votes in the thread.

How many PvP Events should be hosted at once, while War is NOT active?
Fairly straigthforward question - how many PvP Events should be going at once while War is not going on? We currently have 1, but in the past it has been higher. Note that if there are 2 events going on at once, they will be staggered, so that they start a month or two apart.

How many PvP Events should be hosted at once, while War IS active?
Just like the previous question, but assume that War is going on, and most of the teams are still alive. Should fewer PvP Events be running, and how many?

How many PvP Event Organizers/Managers should there be?
We currently have only 1 PvP Event Organizer/Manager, but it in the past it has been higher. The main argument for hiring more PvP Event Organizers/Managers is that it would facilitate the selection and hosting of new events, and important sections of the forums ought to be staffed by multiple people. The main argument against the hiring is that the section is currently running adequately, albeit by distributing much of the designing and hosting to non-staff members.

How should PvP Events be selected?
PvP events are currently selected by majofa. While this system is fast and ensures that events are reasonably balanced, the argument for a community vote would be to give everyone a say in which event is selected. The downside, however, could be that an unbalanced event is voted on. The third option, community vote with staff veto, serves as a middle-ground choice.

Do you prefer new or re-run events?
Currently, events are re-run multiple times, due in part to a lack of PvP Event Organizers/Managers tasked with designing events. While these events are tried and true, there can be more excitement in new events.

Well, here are some short thoughts:

• Do you prefer new or re-run events? :
  If a previous event was well liked and not too hard to host (tpvp anyone?) then I see no harm in rerun events. New events have the potential to be new and refreshing, but without some serious assistance most peoples' ideas will suck in execution without some serious guidance. Which, I believe, is a part of why people are hesitant to even bring them up in the first place. (so I voted "depends on the event")
• How many PvP Event Organizers/Managers should there be? :
  Don't think majofa is necessarily doing a bad job, but don't think up to 3 would be a horrible thing either. I'd rather leave this question to majofa. (so I voted 2, [sarcasm]though we have no idea who else could possibly want to be pvp organizer[/sarcasm])
• How many PvP Events should be hosted at once, while War IS active? :
  1, 2. Two answers?! Well, basically one that is truly active, but two "running", so that "round 1" of the second is starting shortly before the end of the first. (so voted 2, with the "staggered" from the OP in mind)
• How many PvP Events should be hosted at once, while War is NOT active? :
  Answer above +1
• How should PvP Events be selected? :
  Personally, instead of a staff veto, I think it would be better if staff chose the pool of events to choose from to begin with. They're the ones that are half-expected to be making the polls for it too, no? Just saying. (voted other)
