I've been asked questions about guild events a few times already, and since it has been indeed unclear for most guildies, I decided to write a special thread for you guys.
Hosting a Guild Event
Everyone is allowed to host a guild event. Til now only staff members have hosted guild events, but we want to remind you: all guild members are allowed to host a guild event, not only staff members.
How to host a guild event 010:
- Come up with an idea.
- Send a personal forum message to one of the staff members (Ruiha, Doctrina or Kohane) about your idea.
Explain your idea clearly and in details. - Wait. The staff will discuss and review your idea for holes and gaps. We will pm you back with questions and suggestions (if we have any). Answer these and give us your honest opinion on the suggestions we give.
- If you get the staff's approval, post up your event on the forum!
The staff tries to host events, but understand that we have our own offline life as well. We are not able to host many events throughout the whole year (we kind of got life drained in Winter Break.. along with our wallets and mabi bank accounts). We will try our best though.
Always feel free to host an event! It's more than welcome. For hosting an event, you get rewarded too! You get 50 Alstroemeria credits, and for every guildie that participates in your event, you get an additional 10 Alst Credits bonus per participant.
Remember that the Alstroemeria staff is always here for you. If you get stuck on an idea, not sure how to solve this little problem or that little problem: let us know! Don't be afraid to ask. We are willing to help you, and we don't bite (...maybe).
Don't be afraid to propose an idea. We will not accept all entries, but it's always worth a try! If it's not good, we can try to make it better. Together. If you're still afraid: your guildies are here for you too. Ask a guildie to proofread your idea, think about it together, then send your idea in.
I hope I've given you enough information. Underneath I made a small FAQ-list, check that out too! If you still have unanswered questions, pm me or one of the other staff members! Happy Brainstorming!

FAQ
#1 Do we need staff's approval every time I host an event?
Yes, you do. For the why's: it's mainly for a quality control on your event. We help you search for loopholes you might have overseen and review your event. Is it fair? Too hard? Too easy? Too long? Of course, there's no need for approvals in mini events like dungeon runs, commerce runs, shadow mission spam etc.
#2 What can the staff do for me?
Aside from giving you advise and suggestions on your event (and approving/rejecting your event), we can help you with organizing your event. If you request so, you can get assistance in hosting your event. Feel free to co-host it with another guildie though! We can help you with promoting the event too: through the Ambassador with in-game notifying, announcing it in the Guild Skype chat, making promotion posters/flyers/images, putting it in the RSS feed and up on the guild website etc. Then there's the rewards part: we can help with rewards, but we can't guarantee it. Whatever help you might need, just ask.
#3 Do all events undergo the same process?
Yes. Even events hosted by staff members need to undergo the same process, getting approval from the staff. The only thing that differs is the time between sending an entry in and the approval by the staff.
#4 Wait, I can get help with rewards?
Yes, the staff can sponsor you in the event rewards. Note that we can't guarantee it. First of all, you can take a look at the donation box. What items are in there? How much money is there in the box? The donation box is there for purposes like these.
#5 If I co-host it with another guildie, how much Alstroemeria credits do we get for it?
You both will get the same amount of 50 Alst Credits each along with the partipants-bonus.
