I'm not buttering your bread here in the light of the post above.
Yesterday genuinely was the best event I've ever been in on Discovery. The admin element to the interaction was superbly handled. @Skorak did an exceptional job ingame with the event irrespective of anything. @Durandal (who isn't an admin, but I want to kudos him anyway - he'll read this) conducted himself exceptionally InRp.
Both teams improvised extremely well when the NPCs didn't work as planned, with a lot of stiff players (including myself) around wondering how things were going to shake out. It seems they turned out fascinatingly.
