[Quiet Man Cometh]

I like this idea, too. The story events are fun, but the site specific events like Nox (even though it has a story base as well) and Tris' birthday could easily feel more inclusive to users of the site as a whole especially for those who might not care to get into all the lore. If there were, say, maybe three per year, that would also give the staff something of a predictable schedule and a calender for sorts for the users who want to know when the next event might arrive. Other stuff can happen as it happens.

What about taking the masquerade party from the story and making it an annual thing? Lore wise, it could be a remembrance of the original party crashed by rebels, etc, which would give "characters" who appreciate tradition something to RP about if they like, while it remains essentially a costume party for everyone else, with the usual hang-out and chat threads, games, and currency getting.
