If I asked for requests, and something like druken stupor or musical chairs was the winner, I'd host it. I never said I'd flat out not host a "low tier" event or a "4 player ever"; I simply said I'd host something funner, imo, if given the choice.
Say if there was a tie between druken stupor and, for example, babord survivor, I'd host babord survivor for a number of reasons. More players involved, funner to watch, less work from myself, funner to play, etc.
As for your "why are they there if they don't get hosted" thought: its not that these events don't get hosted; they just don't get hosted with the regularity as other events. Example: some items in a grocery store are going to always be bought, and other items are going to only be bought from time to time by a small minority. So why are the other items there? To keep everyone remotely happy (hey look, we have something for everyone!) Drunken stupor is there to be hosted from time to time when the situation is right. It isn't there to be hosted 3 times a day because it has limitations. A minority of players will want it, and thus once in a while their thirst will be quenched, pun intended.
As for DC's comments, I rarely host ctf anymore tbh. When I ask for requests, I usually throw in a line like "out of the box" or "underhosted" events, though about half the ppl will still pm me ctf. So I ignore them and host something else, only to find a few ppl who pmed me not join (presumably b/c they don't like the underhosted event. and by underhosted I'm not talking musical chairs. more like infection or sumo allstar.) I try to host ctf only with a playercount above 25, thus the odds of getting 8 people and a few standbys are fairly good. |
