Creating Events

This is a guide for how to use +events on the MUSH to add a new +event to the list. The code can be confusing sometimes, and it is intended that this guide will explain in a bit more detail than on game with +help +events

Basic Commands

Command	What it does
+events	List events, sorted by number.
+events/date	List events, sorted by date.
+event <#>	View an event.
+event/translate <#>	View time zone translations.
+event/signup <#>	Sign up for an event.
+event/unsignup <#>	Remove yourself from an event.

Creating an Event Code

+event/create <name>=<date and time>/<genre>/<summary>

Example format for <date and time>: 2023-06-15 5:00 pm

Time zone defaults to +time (PST/PDT)

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CHANGE THE TIMEZONE WHEN USING +event/create - IT DOES NOT WORK

Timezones

If you want to set the time on your +event to a timezone that is /not/ Pacific(aka game time), then here is what you need to do.

1) Use the above command to set the +event.

2) Take the +event # you now have for your posted +event, and use the command: +event/timezone #=EST

a) Substitute in whichever timezone you prefer for EST in the above.

Additional Commands

Command	What it does
+event/changedate <#>=<date and time>	Change date/time of an event.
+event/timezone <#>=<zone>	Change time zone of an event.
+event/changename <#>=<name>	Change name of an event.

Announcements

Are you looking to share this with more people at the time or near the time of the event?

Try out +event/current description will broadcast whatever you put in as a description to the LFG channel. While originally designed for spontaneous scenes, this can also be used to announce that a scheduled +event will start soon.
