Well, the EM could take on different roles depending on what nature the event were to be.

For example, if a village were ravaged, and there was to be a sole survivor begging for help in finding the captives .. the EM could RP that person.

Or, if a powerful Wizard has been away much longer than he said, his Apprentice might come looking for help. The EM could RP his Apprentice.

See what I'm getting at? The EM should be able to be flexible and play many roles. I don't think there should be ANY events that aren't RP. But that's my ideal opinion.
