Do you really think, any monster will be at this place still alive when I say: Come to place xyz in 20 minutes and kill the monsters to get what they drop?
Hard to believe that the people will wait with starting to kill.

all my EM´s knows that I don´t prefere raffles as a good event. When we do a raffle we advertise it 10 -20 min.

First days when we have promote a new EM he/she will do a lot of events. After a while some of them lose their interest in hosting events.
Maybe because its sometimes a thanklessy job. If you host a waterglass you get PM´s "why you host a waterglass, do a raffle" and so on.
People forget that we do that for THEIR fun.

For better an new events we need a new mudlib. Stefan and his team is working hard on it and it will come soon.
Björn just created a new escortevent which is very cool!

I just got 3 new EM´s this year. It makes no sense to have 10 EM´s and I cannot control how and how much they working.
Events in the first line for having some fun, NOT to receive worthful stuff!

Btw: I am on holiday till 02.26.05

Sometimes!? When I was an EM I only recieved thanks from close friends - even if they didn't win. I would always get PMs like "Why are you hosting this? I want that." and "This sucks, would have been better had you done that". I can remember a specific occassion where a person, not to name names, said, "Oh, I only won one Event Coin ):". I was blown away! Others would love to have that event coin and (s)he were sad because they only won one!

Then I get people who think I'm corrupt, and people who want to make me look bad just because they didn't get their own way, or because I punished them for being bad. It's really a vicious, seflish game.

You could make them wait by, oh I don't know, not spawning the monsters and/or blocking the entrance until you are ready to start?
