Well, in order to get more EM events, lets compile a reasonable list of possible events, and if we can do some of the leg work, with the current 1 EM, maybe it can be possible to pull off.
This one is my big idea, and we can use it for a "Come to siege" event;
The Amazing SP Race!
Same idea as the amazing race. To be involved you must be on UOAM, or the new UOC server, so it can be monitored if you gate. Not sure how well that will work, but meh, worth a shot.
Lets say you start in Del. A temp gate from Brit to Del for event. First you are given the rules. And off you go. First leg of the race is to run to Pap. No speed forms.
When you get to Pap, a player meets you (since we have one EM and different speed rates). There will be a puzzle to solve (or not, can put puzzles elsewhere). Eventually you use the teleporter and go through to the magic shop.
Run to the zoo. Same idea. And so on, and so forth. Im sure we can come up with a few puzzles and make sure that the legs, keep a nice clean flow through lower spawn areas, (since if players from other shards come, they wont have much for heals) and past player run shops, towns, etc to show what siege is more then just murder. Might draw some in.
Say end at Kelmo's place, where he gets there forum name for a posting of the results. But really bans them on all forums but siege, so pretty much they might aswell come and play with us

-A bag ball tourney (i know the league flopped)
-SP Series of Dice.....
-PvP tourney, 2v2...again
-Archery Contest (shoot the targets, total scores)
-Offical Cat Herding contest
-chess/checkers/backgamon (dont they have backgamon)
-2v2 Golem and Tinker vs Golem and Tinker
-GZ Stealing contest. Players stand around an NPC area, and get stolen from. No PC can call guards, but rather if the NPC calls, and wacks. Its over for that thief. See how many items can be aquired. Most items wins UO.
-Deadliest Boom Box. Tinker love. 70 Fire suit, count the total damage of five pops, and see who makes the biggest boom.
I dunno some of these are pure luck, and might not get done. But trying to come up with ideas for the whole shard, and if we make efforts for the non-pvpers, maybe we can get more players to siege, who we can convert to some pvp, all pvp, or just more player base period.
Throw your ideas out there, then we can compile a list, and go from there.
