Make-An-Event Thread Discussion and Waffle Emporium
P.S. we are out of waffles.
I've been kinda busy, new job, new stuff, stuff I don't want to talk about, thing is I haven't been on the forums like I used to.
We do tend to criticize EAs events (with reason) yet whenever we do "suggest" content it tends to be in a list form with no discernible gameplay or plot behind it.
Mah suggestion?
Let's make an event! Or events, alotta cooties/people have good ideas let's toss around the ideas and see what we come up with. Let's show EA how it's done!
Or this thread can de-evolve into a thread about gifs I don't know.
I won't provide a template because most people have a general idea of how they work, but I'll cook something up just in case it's needed.
P.P.S. (hehe I said peepee) I know we have two "events" (tie in and mini) but it's just something to think and discuss about.
