Hey guys,
I was going to wait until after the festival to post anything because I didn't want anyone patronizing my event just because I braught it here, but I'm impatient so here goes.
I'm curious where I went wrong on the Sideshow thing I set up. I set up four tents. Each has a bunch of RP stuff in it, lots of signs, LOOK at descriptions and writing, that sort of thing. Then each tent has a show script that runs at a certain time. The times were posted on the bottom of the Calendar page, in the Staff Announcements, and I put them on an IC post in the News of Spur. I thought I did a pretty good job with it from an RP perspective and from the character point of view I'm still happy since that's something I wanted to do with Grimn. On the other hand, I was pretty disappointed OOCly. I sold a grand whopping total of 13 tickets. I put a large amount of time and effort into designing the stuff and writing all the scripts. I also put a lot of time into hunting to get the coin to pay for it all, which was a very fair price (no complaints) but a considerable amount for me in any case since I'm no power hunter. Overall, from the OOC point of view, I just feel that I might have wasted my time. What I'm looking for now is some feedback to let me know where I went wrong for future reference. Feel free to be insulting, I hope the staff will let that slide on this thread, it doesn't bother me any.
Why such a low turn out? Was it a cruddy idea? Was it all poorly written/designed? Were the times not clear enough? I didn't think 9 gold + 50 silver was too awfully much to ask for tickets, since everything else at the peddle seems to cost a bit more than that...even raffle tickets cost 10 gold. Even at that price I didn't think I'd even make my money back. Was that just too much? The scripts were only like 10 er so real time minutes long, I didn't think it was too long or boring for an RP thing. Was it good in concept but didn't transfer well to Dgate?
Did anyone actually go? If you did, please let me know what you thought.
Thank you to anyone who gives me some input.
