Following the latest Community Meeting and a recent poll on our Discord, we have decided to launch a new category of events that our Event Team will run, called Lancer: Episodes. Some of you are likely already familiar with this format from other communities, but, in short, these are events that meet any of the following criteria:
- The event takes place in an alternate timeline (i.e. same universe, but different events transpired)
- The event occurs in an alternate universe (e.g. Deus Ex, Warhammer, Papers Please, etc.)
- The event takes place in the past or the future
- The event involves temporary event (player) characters
Of course, the events will properly specify their type and include relevant information in their announcement threads. With that in mind, we will continue focusing on and prioritizing our ordinary events, as we prefer events that involve the main setting, storyline, and established characters in the game. That being said, we already have a couple of 'EP' events in the works, and we hope to be able to announce them soon, once we are ready. You can look at this thread for a list of all currently established EP events, similar to the ordinary Event Index thread.
Finally, while we are here, I will take this opportunity to remind everyone of the Event Ideas subforum. We are actively looking to host more interesting and intriguing events on the server, and we need your ideas to help us come up with them. So, if you have any, do not hesitate to make a thread about it, and we will take it into consideration!
