Give me a moment to gather my thoughts on this so that I can word them properly...will edit when it's time, or post anew.
Okay so here goes:
If it's an FC event -- blatantly stated as one, keep it to the FC's canon. Don't force it on the community, that leads to bad, BAD places. Nothing's wrong with a little FC canon! It makes things fun! Nothing is also wrong with recruiting people for NPC-ship or extras for the effect. I bet lots of people would be willing to help your FC out in that way -- in fact, there's an entire FC dedicated to providing NPCs!
What is the point, of recruiting people for NPC/Extra effect if the event is going to take place publicly? Why then, must the players involved be told how to react (panic) instead of treating it as their characters would? Why must people who are not involved be forced to avoid the areas this one FC wants to use for their event? I saw Pearl Lane mentioned. My character goes there every day to deliver provisions for the people on the street -- seeing that he used to be one of them. Am I to avoid that area that day, as a non-participant, simply to further your FC plot? PERSONALLY, I'd be cool with bullshitting a reason for Berrod not to be there that day, but what happens after? When it becomes a crime scene and he can't go there, or if the people he's taking care of die in whatever happens. It's affecting my canon, something that should be unrelated to your FC without my consent.Â
I have my issues with community events affecting cities and water supplies and the tightness of underwear, but I believe it to be a much better approach than this -- simply because it's a matter of it being something for the COMMUNITY. Asking the community to cater to one FC in such a profound manner is...a bit bold.
It's a pretty crippling oversight, and could be construed the wrong way by a lot of people. Not to mention the thought of consequences. If the Sultansworn area comes under attack and that is allowed to leak OUTSIDE of your FC's canon...would it not be free game to every Sultansworn, Free Paladin and every adventurer under the sun to do something about it? Are preparations in place to deal with very public fallout!
All those things are very important to consider! Keep in mind this is just some constructive feedback, not trying to flame or anything.Â
