Thanks to those who pointed out that my mention of applications wasn't personal. I can have problems with conveying tone through text - no malice intended towards anyone whatsoever! I didn't clarify in a standalone post entirely because I really did not want to see this derailed, because obviously I see it as a very important point of conversation.

Dev once did tell us he'd prefer us using actual mapping environment maps for our events, and to be honest that bewildered me, but we did try convincing him - we've definitely been here before in terms of trying to make things easy for eventmins on the donation aspect, like extra levels.

I relied on handouts or my own money for the entirety of my foray as eventmin, for every single map I made. And, despite being allowed to spawn furniture to map event maps specifically, stopped doing that after a bug with my house that just made me paranoid, and spent my own money on event houses for the second part of my time as an eventmin, god save me.

I did, and still do, believe, eventmins really need some love in terms of making maps for events. Because, now as a mapper, I can also attest... making mapping environment maps, and going through Dev to get them implemented every time... is a process that would only further cause chaos and delay in the event sphere.

While I'd love to see a world where we had the man power to make and implement actual maps for every event... we don't. And convincing Dev to give even just eventmins access to donation items like that, even if just for events is not a simple task...

...so eventmins often can really need your charity, in terms of event spaces. After all, imagine not only being a volunteer, but doing events at a loss to your own bank account? It's kinda crazy.
