The one and -only- caveat here is that IF people choose to communicate about their events amongst themselves to greater spread out amount of RP happenings so that others can participate in more things then that is splendid and I encourage that wholeheartedly. IF your intent is to actually encourage more communication along those lines then by all means continue.

I just don't think it's doing anyone any favors and is actually hurting their own cause. I can't speak for anyone else, but I'd be more than willing to fork over my gil for a cause that's different and new. For a while I was still willing to participate in date auctions as a date to help the hosts earn gil, but now I've gone through so many that even my interest in that is waning. I think it would benefit the community as well as the party trying to fundraise if they tried out some fresher ideas.
I really don't know what I can say that I haven't already said here three times now. By all means, people can have as many date auctions as often as they like, but I think the community is growing tired of it, and as such their profits are slowly sinking. The point of this thread to offer suggestions people can choose to take or leave. Maybe some people will find it helpful--I've had people actually send me /tells asking for ideas for fundraising events seeking to break away from the date auction funk. Maybe some people will find it useless and still opt for the ease of a date auction--more power to 'em, I hope it goes well and I may even still participate if I have the time. More communication is a thing that would always be useful and I wholeheartedly encourage it, and this thread was meant to be an avenue for that to begin.
