A common suggestion I read at #Safari's chat is to hold a tournament using the Safari mechanics. I could do that, but why not something better? This is why we are giving you players the chance to do all the hard work for us :D The idea is simple: Players host an event at Safari, and if the event runs smoothly, the rewards will be given by the Safari Staff! And not only that: You may also receive a reward for your effort! Here are the details: -To participate, you must first write a Proposal explaining how your event will work. Explain the format (a tournament, a quiz game, etc), describe all the rules in as much detail as possible, how participants can join it and the rewards you would like to give to the winners. Don't forget to name your event. Once all of that is written down, send me a Forum PM with that proposal. -If your proposal is approved, you will be given a time frame to host the event. It will be advertised as an Authorized Event at #Safari and here. Even if your proposal it's not approved, I may give ideas and opinions on how to improve it. -When you host the actual event, get as many logs as you can (the full event, if possible) and send them to me. -If your event runs smoothly, the rewards you chose in your proposal will be given to them by the Safari Auth (so no costs for you!). In addition, you will also receive a special reward picked by us! -If we find something fishy about the event, or the date or any other requirement that we request are not followed, the rewards may be reduced or even cancelled. Some hints to write a good proposal: -Explain everything in as much detail as possible. For example, if you are are hosting a Battle Tournament, you may want to explain rules like elimination system, number of battles per match, Pokémon allowed, how to log/validate the matches, time limit before a W.O., etc. -Have a clear rule to define the winners. -Be creative with your event's format. A simple tournament is perfectly fine, but you may also try some crazier ideas. Just try to stick to Safari elements. -If you are confident at the quality of your event and at how well you can host it, feel free to suggest a really good reward for winners :) (but no boxes or permanent Megas, please. Bright Eggs and Philosopher's Stones are also unlikely to be allowed). -You can ask someone else to help you co-host the event, but the Host Reward will only be given to the main host. The current reward given to the Host of a successful event is: 10 Cherry Delight, 6 Eggs, 1 Decor Coupon and a random shiny Pokémon from the list below! Current list: Paras, Snubbull, Gulpin, Croagunk, Cottonee and Helioptile.* This means that if you get your proposal approved and host your event flawlessly, you receive all the items listed above. By 'flawlessly', consider that any issue that comes up during your event (like deadlines not met, rules not being upheld, players cheating, conflicting rules, lack of proper logs, etc.) will count negatively if you are unable to deal in a proper way with them. In the event that this scenario does occur, your reward may be scaled down. *A list with 6 shiny Pokémon, one from each generation, will always be posted here. When someone successfully hosts an event, they can choose 3 Pokémon from that list, and then the host will receive 1 of those 3, determined by RNG. That Pokémon will then be removed from that list and replaced by another one from the same generation. If you have any questions about this event, post in this thread. And since I'm a slowpoke, if you sent an event proposal but got no reply from me, feel free to bump your PM (but please don't do that more than once per week, and don't do that in the server). Past Events: Spoiler Safari Battle Tournament (by Jethalal, started February 3rd, 2016) Tower Trouble (by La.Neptune, started March 28th, 2016) Trivia the Light Fantastic (by Ascarotte, started June 4th, 2016) Little Cup Tower Madness (by fitzy, started June 14th, 2016) Tournament in Round Robin (by DracoNova, started June 15th, 2016) Smeargle Open (by fitzy, started October 23rd, 2016) Safari Masters' League (by Jethalal, started February 17th, 2017) Rotation MegaEvent (by Lord Neptune, started May 7th, 2017) Magikarp Classic Tournament (by HBC, started December 5th, 2017)
Are there logs on how many items people have or how many items they use? (To prevent cheating or something?)
I'm not entirely sure what you mean by writing a proposal to host an event. I can't imagine it would be something like "host a war where the winning team gets 5 prize packs and the MVP gets 10," because you can do that way too easily. It's not very imaginative. Are you asking for us to come up with a novel event idea?
Elaborate an event that any player could host without the aid of Safari auth. Like the first post mentioned, some ideas are a tournament or a quiz game, but you can come up with more creative ideas. The proposal itself is all about organization: how clear your rules are defined and how are you going to make sure the event will run without any incident (or how they will be dealt with if they occur).
Are these events strictly within the Safari Channel or are they like Event Tournaments to win Mega Stones?
If you are talking about the Form Changing? *Some restrictions apply: You can only change forms of a Pokémon if that new form has the same Pokédex number, type and BST as the former form. (16:24:40) ±Tauros: 172. Pichu's BST is 205. [Electric] (16:24:55) ±Tauros: 172. Spiky Pichu's BST is 480. [Electric]
If we're looking for another tournament, it would be fun to see a tour with LC Pokemon since they're usually useless in Safari.
Host reward has been changed. Also I'm aware some people submitted their proposals, but it's been a bit hard to get to them right now, so please be patient until a new event is authorized (and don't freak out wondering if I saw your PM because I did).
±Tauros: mibuchiha has been awarded with 1 Salt by RiceKirby! for complaining about the reward skimp. lel
I slightly adjusted the Host Reward again. New reward gives a some chance for the host to pick their own prize, but that also means I will be more strict regarding how smoothly the event runs. I will also start looking back for the events and hope to pick one in the next few days, but I wish to know if the people who PMd their proposal is still interested in running it after the reward change. If you are, please confirm it in the same PM you sent so I can find it easily (since my inbox is flooded with Theme Contest PMs).
I (finally) replied to the proposal PMs. If I forgot any, bump the PM and I will check it. Also, chances are I will pick two events to run at once this time to make up for the long wait. P.S.: No event has been decided yet, I'm still checking pending issues with each proposal, so there's still time to submit one.

Haven't been replying to Event Proposal PMs because I need to review the rewards once more. I will probably announce changes after the current event finishes, then I will look into the PMs again.
Reward has been changed once again. The previous format made it hard to approve a few rewards since they would go to two players, so I made it so the reward is different. The new reward is now always a random shiny Pokémon from a list of 6 Pokémon. Once that Pokémon is won by someone hosting an event, they are removed from the list and replaced by another one. Read the first post for more details. In addition, whoever has a pending Event Proposal PM, please confirm if you are still interested in hosting that event by replying to that PM.
Since I'm a slowpoke and have been forgetting about the PMs and have been too busy with gen 7 implementation, I'm adding some kind of authorization for people to bug me until I reply to their event proposals. Basically, if you have a pending Event Proposal PM that I didn't reply to, feel free to bump that PM to remind me about it (but please don't do this more than once per week, and only through the forums, not in the server).
