CRAZY DM ATTENTION GIVEAWAY!
-
That's right the doors have been blown WIDE open on EoF's Attention Emporium!
Got a personal plot you want to push? Some crazy thing you need to do? Then come on down! I'm offering my services for any future open timeslots I may have! THIS IS AN OPEN INVITATION TO ANYONE WHO WANTS TO PUSH IDEAS, PLOTS, ETC.
Why?! Because I can. Just send me a PM with the following information and if, in my extreme biasness, I choose your PM I'll do all sorts of DMly things with my own patented EoF spin!
Just listen to these testimonies!
hi!
(who is eof?)- acemv hands EoF a shotgun.
Oh god EoF your killing us
<troll_train>EoF you broke my MG and trolled me into quitting
EoF mistreated us so much</troll_train>
Interested? Grand! Just send me a PM with the following template, and we'll get started!
- Character:
- Thing you're asking for:
- BRIEF background of RELEVANT character info(ie character's motivation for this event):
- What you've done so far (in relationship to this thing you want):
- What you hope to accomplish with thing you're asking for (Short term & long term. Brief summary statement is fine):
- Time you would like to go (for my sanity, please translate to EST):
There is some fine print: Any ideas you send me are subject to (and will likely receive) various twisting to match my view of them. I will likely corrupt them with my own ideas, and most importantly DO NOT EXPECT A PARTICULAR OUTCOME. The purpose of this offer is to allow you to push plots forward by telling me what you've done, and what you HOPE to do; I will decide how the event takes shape and what possible outcomes may happen.
Do not despair, however, this is meant in fairness to the stories; in fairness to the server, and most importantly in fairness to you, the unfortunate player I will likely kill and maim several times over.
So! Send that stuff in folks! I want to run stuff, you have ideas I can abuse!

Updated the "App" format to help clarify what information I would like.
Also, the idea behind this isn't to hand out DM favors. Provide "evidence" that you've worked towards these personal goals or if you are STARTING a new personal goal with this invitation, tell me what your future plans are after these events start.
Rough Example of "Evidence":
I've been searching for artifact X because my character wants to eat it. I've hired out people to search for it, and I've led expeditions to find it, etc.
Rough Example of New Goal:
I want to have a plot hook to begin the search for artifact X because my character wants to eat it. I plan to hire out people to search for it and I will lead expeditions to find it, etc
These examples are meant to illustrate the type of details I'd like to see.
Also, and this is the most crucial piece:
I will choose plots, events, etc. on the merits of creativity and player involvement.
What that means is I will reward creative ideas that allow many players to experience said ideas. If your idea is brilliant, but it's primarily for you: no. If your idea would affect every player on the server but is completely dull: no. If your idea is good and it can affect a lot of players over time 100% for it.

You guys are crazy for not taking EoF up on this opportunity, the guy runs the coolest stuff ever.

Why didn't DMs ever do this kinda shit back when I was a player?
I'd have been all over this. -

Back by popular demand, and NOW WITH 100% MORE AWESOME AND 40% LESS SYNTAX!!!
I've decided that, while I scribble down and solidify the amazing plot ideas I'm currently hatching that I should offer myself BACK to the community! There is no current time limit available on the DM Giveaway, and I will be processing any applications sent to my inbox.
Timeslots will be handed out based on the hour ranges you provide in your applications, pending conflicts with my personal schedule.
Any players involved will be expected to be online at least 10-15 minutes before the "start" time so as to best maximize time on event!
And one final rule: If I choose not to run your idea do not think because it was a bad idea (though that could be a reason) it may also be for personal comfort reasons, impact such an idea may have on the server, or any multitude of things. What this means is CONTINUE TO PUSH YOUR OWN IDEAS AND PLOTS EVEN IF I DON'T RUN AN EVENT FOR YOU! One of us will catch on and have an idea we can offer to your group.
Thanks for participating, and I look forward to hearing from you!

40% less Syntax means 40% less loot per quest. You all lose.

So I've got some PMs, and I'll soon have quite a bit of free time to run it; so get those ideas to me so I can begin the plottage!
There will be some open timeslots this weekend; those interested in taking advantage should have PMs sent to me by THURSDAY NIGHT so that I can look them over and get back to you FRIDAY MORNING for this weekend.
Thanks!

I'm going to partially hijack this thread and steal its purpose. ANYONE, who has IDEAS or GOALS your character wants to pursue, even CRAZY IDEAS, shoot me with a PM! I'll give you my feedback and we'll possibly arrange a suitable time to do these things.

BASTARD!
To all those who have sent me ideas; I've sorted through them and decided to do most of them; I'm just working out times I can sit down and play. But don't hesitate to send them to PN as well, exposure is good!
Rest assured, EoF is back ;)

I'm interested in pushing player plots and goals.
Please bear in mind that the only requirement is that whatever you want is in some way fun for others/affecting other players. Your ideas needn't be of epic proportions; I've always enjoyed adventures that didn't matter to the game world at large but are still hugely entertaining in the small scale. Even if your plan affects only 5 PCs in the CoA playerbase in some meaningful way, I'll help you. (Please note that I'll be the final arbiter of what "meaningful" is.)
No requests like "I want to make X sword of uberawesome or Y item of pwn" will be entertained unless you can properly justify why your getting uber loot is fun for other people.
For example, you want to equip your party with magic swords to kill Lord Dragonhate Darksmirk III who is flooding the world with evil ponies. In which case, I'll definitely help you in your adventuring/intriguing to find/make said swords.

For those who have sent me stuff, I promise I'm getting to it; social life makes organized play difficult – I have passed a lot of it on to other DMs though and there are many threads of awesome; just keep working at what you've got and taking advantage of all of us here to help you!
