I prefer events to be in there own threads to be honest, it keeps other threads open for players use that might be tangled up in events.<br/><br/>Example: Say you have an event planned for the entertainment thread.  It could get confusing if it was tangled up with a group of people gambling at a saloon.  By placing the event in its own thread it would not interfere with others that may not be involved in the event and still want to use the entertainment thread.<br/><br/>I don't have a problem with moving the game forward each month it may cause me to start less threads though so I can make sure I get them all wrapped up before the time jump.<br/><br/>I tend to PM people if I want to set up a roleplay or just write a scene and leave it open.
