Two separate Hutt families show up and argue to the republic two turn them in. Both Hutss make the venator a battle ground and will do anything to capture the citizen.

THIS WHOLE EVENT REVOLVED ON PLAYER CHOICE

Alright boys, before the -1s start flying in, here's the breakdown:

Refugee comes on ship, requesting safe place to hide

He gets to hide, and one Hutt locates him.

That Hutt gets on the ship, and starts to negotiate, when ANOTHER debt collector comes on to collect as well.

The refugee actually owes money to both Boltfat and Marlos (Hutt 1 and 2)

The idea was, since he owed Boltfat more money, he'd go with him. 

But, since the player choice made it so long, and so much failrp and bad decisions happened, Marlos couldnt get pissy and continue bombarding the ship, I.E, shootemup.

 

I didn't account for some player choice, like actually letting the Hutts negotiate, or trying to save the ""Civilian"" (who is actually a criminal, but it doesn't matter at this point) from being brought back to the Hutts, but don't -1 the event because of the mayhem that was the republic.

-1 was badly executed, didn't seemed to be planned at all and was no communication from the GM between certain naval members.

-1 mine is still flying in heart

The event wasn't badly executed, the gamemaster must follow along with player choice, you can't just strip the player's privileges to control the event.

-1, Was a very unorganized event. Not all battalions got to participate due to it only being like RP interactions with Naval and Senators mostly. It was very boring and needs to improve.

It was meant to be passive rp then shoot em up. BUT a person hyperspaced and that ruined the shoot em up

Not every event is about shooting.

[Mordred]

+1 It was a decent Passive Event someone fucked up the hyperspace so... Why the fuck is GM's getting blame?

yes but when I have been on when there has been an event, the game master always seems to come to us and tells us certain things to expect like for instance going into hyperspace, they usually let us know so we can do it but someone seems to press it without our knowledge and that causes problems.  But it was badly executed, didn't seem like a good event but that's just my opinion. 

[Reddy]

So many things went wrong...

Trying to shoot down and unarmed ship and yelling in advert

Hyperspacing away from combat

And much 

+1 for event idea 

[Bazoo]

+1 I had fun

[COC4IN3]

None of the naval pressed the button for hyperspace, according to someone which I shall not name it was rider.. but I wasn't there so I'm not going to say anything further. Like I'm just as confused as a lot of people right now. 

[Dino]

I really gotta be honest wasn't a bad Event it actually had some good fun.

+1

Just some people screwing up the event completely ruined it event...

Ik who it was but didnt want a callout

[Striker]

+1, it was pretty good. Just the player choice is what made it a cluster fuck imo.

Now, not knowing all of the background information and knowing only what I saw in the the event from my side of things, which was admittedly not much since I had so little to do with the RP, which in the event I thought that it was originally meant to be just a passive RP event. When I saw that there was player choice that prevented some other sort of engagement for the troops that were not taking part in RP I understood. I apologize for the comment made earlier about it, however I feel that if player choice shifted the focus, you should be prepared for that case.

If it is passive RP, there should be a drive to engage the entirety of the active forces in the RP. Now that may sound difficult, but that's the challenge in making non-"shoot-em up" events. Again, I apologize for casting judgement before knowing the event side and the capabilities of the event team, however I still found that the inflexibility made it rough.

Player choice is important, but I'd much rather have an engaging event for everyone first and foremost. Keep working at it, while it may not be your best work, there is never a magnum opus without first a few mistakes and opportunities to learn from.
