As Iâm seeing a lot of people assuming the market night was intentionally scheduled on top of DPCâs:
We used to have monthly shop nights. Our shop night for January was scheduled on the 22nd.
Chiel mixed up the shop and market night dates and wrote the shop nightâs date down in our AA and forum post for the market night. In-game, the market night had been scheduled for the 28th since early December, going off the earliest someone marked themselves as Tentative:

DPCâs event was announced on the 12th of January:

In other words, she never intentionally scheduled ours on top of DPCâs: she did just genuinely screw up by making the wrong date public, and no one but the people who got a calendar invite couldâve known the date we made public was the wrong one. Itâs partly my own fault because I was in charge while Chiel was on break. As I had little to no motivation to keep the guild running until its official disband, the mix-up went completely unnoticed because I only ever checked anything guild-related when asked and only logged in to run events. We didnât realize until the 15th (the same day DPCâs thread went up, which, yes, makes the edit from the 22nd to 28th look very suspicious), when someone with the calendar invite DMed Chiel to get the date right:

Neither side bothered to DM each other when the overlap happened, and even if thereâs no point in doing damage control now, Iâm glad we got to clear this up at all. So: apologies to the guys from DPC for unintentionally messing with your event. I wouldâve had no problem moving ours to another date if I hadnât also made the assumption you were trying to mess with us.
Best of luck to everyone in this thread. I donât agree with what Chiel did either and I agree with a lot thatâs been said here. All I can do now is set the record straight with anyone who mightâve felt slighted by us at some point (if itâs Family-related, that is, not Chiel-related). With that, hereâs my Discord tag for anyone that wants to hash things out privately: Marevia#2173
