As for gear I know I'll be fancy looking in my Groomsman outfit.
And closing, that's Freelance's thing. As I understand its going to be some sort of "thanks for coming" message. You would have to ask him that.
And that streamlining process is coming at the expense of actual interaction on the part of the FCs involved. If there's a temporary event LS for communication, that's an improvement, but even then the chatter might hinder the participant and streamers' ability to read the macros. Actual interaction will come during intermissions, and therefore briefly; in private, and therefore outside the view of the streamers; or after the event entirely.
Part of what made the dances fun - and I don't know who criticized balls, of all things, but I certainly wasn't one of them - was that they were largely open events where players could come and go and interact as they pleased with friends and strangers alike The structure of the events didn't actually affect how the participants were engaged beyond loose guidelines. This is not that; this is very far from that. So what would make this interesting to the observer, given the rigidity of the structure presented?
Im posting at work on a phone, so forgive and spelling any spelling errors.
The LS for the evemt is a great idea, but simply dont have the time to make and grow such a LS. If someone wants to do that let me know and ill post it in the event thread and in the op of the same thread.
