It is not unprecedented for people to voice their issues with an event in the thread for the event itself on the RPC. I understand your desire to not have this event taken in the wrong way. I understand that your intentions here are wholly good. However, stiffing legitimate discussion, even if it is not all positive, is in no way to conduct an event.
The issues people have raised with such an event are very reasonable. However, there seems to be little attempt on yours, or anyone else's parts, to address them, and instead dismissing them as paranoia, drama, or whatever else, is quite disheartening to see.
No or I would just be yelling "SHT UP!" I will gladly debate people on this, but I would like to unclog the event thread. I'm asking that a separate thread be used instead of the event thread itself.

I can see that, I can do that. Alright, I have to finish getting ready for work and I'll put up something before I leave.

Your want to unclog the thread would seem reasonable to me if everyone was circle-jerking and clapping each other on the backs. But why remove concerns? So a moderator can throw them in another thread, and you can ignore it? Letting the decries of your event suck each other off in a separate thread will give you peace of mind, but it will not fix the inherent problems with the event itself. If you sincerely did not believe there were no issues before people starting venting their concerns, there are now.
Oh no, you're on to me. When I did the royal ball, I was accused of trying to power play and become ic buds with the Sultana, but it didn't happen, we had a dance and it was fun. When I did the Starlight Ball, I was accused of trying to make every character religious, it didn't happen. We had another dance and it was funner. Now I'm either forming a shadow government, or are to stupid to realize I'm playing into the hands of the said Shadow Government. It will not happen, we'll all meet up, tell eachother what we each do, there will be funnies in the presentations, and it'll be fun.
New things can be scary until they are not new anymore. So what can you do? If you or others think its wrong/plot/conspiracy there's really nothing I can say until the event is over, and everyone reads the logs and or watches the vid, that will change your minds. So after 5 pages of this stuff, why bother.
As stated in this post I'll throw up a topic so you guys can post your concerns, and I'll answer them the best I can.
