I'm pretty sure your last chance at regularly hosted non gimmick events was discouraged to the point of leaving.
[spoiler] No, I didn't speak to him and confirm this but nonetheless I don't think I am entirely wrong[/spoiler]
I can't remember exactly where the quote is but I think Kyu said something about working towards encouraging you all to host your own events/tournaments. That's not really an exciting message, I am sure.
The reality is you'll have to wait for staff turnover to produce a couple hosts who want to do this sort of thing, and then a handful of referees who are okay with doing it. This thread won't change the minds of any of the staff. I think it's great that Streeech, Tranz, Caracal etc want to host unique events and that they're making an effort but I do know it's possible to do both that and the "monthlies" of some sort too. At the end of the day it's their choice though, they have lives and may not be able to make such a time commitment. In reality you were spoiled with events for a while and that could never last forever.
Overall, I do agree you should be getting your non gimmicks (even if they're just two a month, selected from OU, UU, and NU), but the reality is that you're not going to get what you want by posting this thread and you'll have to make do with what the staff feel like hosting (this is how it's always been in all honesty) and what you come up with yourselves (unofficials).
