lol I just got here.

But I know where you're coming from Captain Del. There's a disconnect. Not sure when that started of course, but I do believe that's exactly what you're describing. I saw it when I attended one event requested by someone whom I do not care to name. The individual wasn't exactly having fun and neither did the rest who showed up to help out. Don't mean to be critical. I'm simply explaining what happened and how there was this lack of fun in those present. They simply showed up and wanted to get it over and done with. And after it was done, they all left except for one friend of mine who is not a registered member of this forum. He and I continued to have fun like we're known to do. Both of us noticed the difference.

Not saying we're better. Just sharing one instance. In another instance, I accidentally showed up in one event organized by Leo last month. Really funny how that all happened since I didn't read up on which server Ocean his SvS event was going to be. I realized it afterwards in-game. You see, it just so happened we were plundering in a Quiet Ocean. We had left an Ideal one to continue our sailing run, but one friend wanted us to SvS. His insistence is why we ended up there. Only after we teleported did I realize it was Leo's event. lol, and boy did it lag. In the end, I was the only one who kept at it and had so much fun. It was a real guessing game taking shots at the other side. And then it ended. They all left just as quickly as they came.

When I finally came over to POF to see how Leo and the others reacted to the event, I was a bit disappointed. Only two of them replied, brief and to the point. I loved the screenshots though and wouldn't you know it, my ship is there! hahahahahahahaaaa, I didn't even sign up! I could have said something but didn't feel like it was my place to. Heck, no one seem to be enthusiastic about it. I guess they've done them so many times, its all the same to them; So no big deal.

Well, I beg to differ. It is a big deal. Whatever is said and done there in-game is lost; Whatever is written and uploaded here... stays forever. So yeah, when these events are arranged and completed/ fulfilled, all participants should chime in. Excellent opportunity for others, the non-participants, to chime in for whatever reasons. Can never know until it happens. Can't say the burden of that, of making it engagingly fun, is on the person who arranged the event. The disconnect is throughout the community.

That's just my humble opinion. Maybe, we need to hold some sort of special event. Heck, maybe I should just to test this out. lol
