I'm going to reiterate what I said in the discussion, which is that I like the option of there being an event every month, BUT I had another thought which I will add, and that is publicizing the player plot calendar more.

I think if more people were aware that it existed and used it, the mods could then schedule events around player plots-- for example, if someone had a player plot with a widespread effect, the mods could then choose not to have an event that month to give the player plot more time and attention. It would allow for a good balance of mod-run and player-run events.
