i dont think most people feel that automated events is an end all to fix all server issues at this point, but i do think it may be a huge contributing factor in continued success here.

So the issue is no longer to convince staff that we should have them, it is now to convince staff to do a little bit of coding.
with that being said.. what can we do to help move this along? players brought up the idea to compensate mammoth or a developer for their time, but the idea was shot down as it was construed as buying features we wanted vs what the server owner and team wanted. if the owner is for events who could be against them? if we are willing to pay for development time to develop features approved by derrick i dont see how we could go wrong.
in fact.. why couldn't we do that with everything (all of the server goals we dont have time for?) donations for development goals? working capital for the GM's to do their thing/or even hire someone to do it for them.
