When events start after 7pm EST you win 1st, earlier than that and you perhaps win 2nd.
Reviewing your past events, when you don't win 1st place then the gold prizes suddenly change and 2nd place gets 1k gold, 1st place gets 1.25k, even though it goes against the registration details.
On 9-23-2016 DrLukifer hosted his own Ironman event, so DrLukifer is qualified and capable of doing it himself, and his training is that he's participated in plenty of events and assisted you a couple times already.
For the Annihilus event I use as an example, I saw DrLukifer online most of the day, so why couldn't he host it 5 hours earlier? If it was your decision, it would seem the reason you don't want early events is because you can't attend them and win.
If this recently past event was "for the server" you would have found the BEST server time to host it, but instead you tripled the rewards and the competition was lower than usual.
It would have been just as valuable to have "the FIRST 4.1 event" hosted this weekend when it can be done properly for the sake of the server.
I'm not saying this is a grand conspiracy, but you have full control over when events start, you win them all, and if you don't win you still get the 1st place prize of 1k gold.
It's not hard to host an event, I know from plenty of experience but I won't get into it here, and I imagine Xardas and DrLukifer are capable enough to monitor a very much "automated" event take place and participate themselves.
