This event sounds really fun, we like this! A couple of notes from us though.
A.) At this time, Retrospec would not be able to sponsor this event due to some IC changes in the company!
This means that the winner will need to receive a separate prize. We recommend sourcing from character CR, having prize donations, etc.
B.) However, what we are willing to do as a compromise for OOC incentive is that players who create teams or run courses solo while completing their course are eligible to receive one free 10-20 point item of their choice. We would like to reward players for participation in player plots rather than rely on an RNG system solely for signing up. ICly characters will know that they will receive a mystery prize (this will not be sponsored by Retrospec despite players oocly knowing what these prizes are), but they will not know what they are at the time of sign-ups and will not know until they finish the course.
C.) This timeline is completely fine for us, though please keep in mind that we do have the TDM/reserves/apps in November as well if that changes your timeframe at all!
D.) We're definitely fine with the penalties and course challenges you guys plan on doing, and we do advise taking a look at November's mini-log/in-game effects to help you plan these as well.
D.5) Not really a note, just a recommendation from us. In order to help keep the hype going on this and make it a thing players can participate in, you may wish to throw together a training log, sign-ups, team-building exercises, etc, to get you through from whenever your IC announcement is until the actual log itself goes up.
D.5.2) Keep in mind that a lot of the players now have special abilities/magic/powers/etc and you may wish to also design some courses/caps based on these (or tell characters they aren't allowed to cheat :P)
Let us know if this all sounds good to you and we'll add it to this month's calendar!
