Eventing: A legitimate specialty?

I agree with what Wilhelm said and feel accomplished :E
I used to toy around with Eventing a lot. Up to the point where I made a really simple battle system I called the Brawl System. You basically just stood there, where a menu of choices would come up. There were only four choices. You chose one, then your opponent would choose one, then it would take the speeds (variables, I used variables to define all this), then take the appropriate animations for what each person chose (the opponent would be an AI, but really simple, only able to choose and attack, not think). This was all with one or two common events.
I personally think an eventer is someone who can step out of the box using these pre-defined methods and make something extraordinary. Someone who can make an elaborate event. Or a complex system. That is an eventer in my mind. I have no idea if I'm an eventer. I'd like to be. but I don't know. :]
