Hosting an event

This page is for larger, "official", events. This page is not for smaller events such as when you are looking for a smaller group of players for a coop game, do that in the appropriate channels on discord and create a discord event for that (ask moderators/officers if permission to create event is not available).

Things to keep in mind when hosting an event:

When is the event happening?
What game is the event focused on?
Does it require something to be prepared? For example a mission, server to be configured etc.
Test it a sensible amount of time before the event takes place, on the hardware it intends to run on.

"Works on my machine" doesn't neccessarily mean it works on the server for the event. If you need help testing there is always some people which are happy to help out.

Scheduling an event

CA usually have a weekly event on sundays, and more often than not also on saturdays. Events are not limited to those days but will most likely have lower attendance due to work and timezones.

The standard event time is 19:00 UTC during european summer time and 20:00 UTC during european winter time. The date when summer time starts and ends changes each year, check out this wikipedia link for the exact date for current year.

Event calendar

To see the currently booked events, checkout the calendar.

Booking a timeslot

Find a timeslot which is free on the calendar.
Go to the CA event booking form here.
Fill in the information of the event in the form.
When the form has been submitted, make sure the calendar contains your event with the proper information.

Remove a booked timeslot

Go to the CA event removal form here.

If the event has already been announced and people have signed up for it, make sure to notify the attendees the event has been cancelled.
