I have tons of better ideas, I have the best ideas believe me, no one has better ideas than me
1) Dodo fistfights
Everyone gets naked, mindwipes to base stats, fistfights spawned in hostile dodos. May have to have people use Tribe War on a dummy tribe so the dodos will fight.
2) Fish race
Everyone gets naked, mindwipes and puts stats into whatever they want (mostly oxygen) and tries to swim through megalodon and/or mosasaur filled waters.
3) Diloback racing
Build a short little track, fill with dozens or hundreds of tamed diloposaurs. Have them all set to wander. People then have to surf across the backs of the wandering dilos to the finish line.
4) Raptor jump
people on raptors charge, then jumps. whoever jumps furthest wins. forgot the name of the Olympic event its based on
5) Chalicotherion target range
People on chalicothers throwing rocks at incoming hostile targets, starting with slow moving things like diloposaurs, upgrading to carnos, raptors, terror birds, levelled appropriate for difficulty.
6) Kaprosuchus hunting
Everyone drinks a bunch of beer, then has until the beer runs out to punch out as many kaprosuchi as possible. Heavily wooded area preferable due to low visibility.
7) Jousting
Temp tribe war, people mount raptors or terror birds and run at each other with pikes to try to kill the other person. Mindwipe to base stats, admin-provided ascendant pikes for oneish-hit kills.
8) Alpha fights
People soup up whatever stats they want, get a full set of ascendant riot gear, ascendant sword or pike. Then they melee fight alpha dinosaurs of increasing level, from raptor to carno to rex, at full level (I've actually done this on another server, 2 people made it to rex. ALpha rex subsequently destroyed everything.)
9) Fortress battles
People set up little forts made of thatch, then have cannons and fire at each other's forts to destroy.
10) Team deathmatch
everyone tribewars, mindwipes to base stats, admin-provided weapons (bow, crossbow, guns, rifles, etc), teams fight n kill, or use tranqs. Possibly in an enclosed arena-like area like the Underworld.
11) Dung beetle and/or Dodo fights
Temp tribe war, people set their dung beetles or dodos to aggressive and throw them into a little fighting pit to fight each other. Unethical as hell but great fun. Higher level fights can involve penguins with helmets.
12) Safari
Admins release brightly colored animals randomly around map and we have to hunt them down and tame them to bring home for prize. Harder tame for higher prize. People keep what they tame maybe.

All these sound super fun. Let me try one!
Archaeopteryx Target Drop
Take a set starting point and place a targeting "ring" of some sort on the ground. Players have to soar from the starting point and then try and drop onto the target area. Preferably a water area. Also probably best to do this naked, because there's going to be a lot of falling people.

This is something that i once thought of while talking to nails one day.
Labyrinth: Make a big maze, multi-leveled, and have people with armor and a weapon of their choice to go through it, and admins would spawn things like terror bird, alpha raptors, and other enemies within the maze to ward off the explorers, first person to make it to the end wins, (and of course 2nd + 3rd places). Might want to have it so players have more than one try? Also just came to me while typing this: have hidden loot within the maze to reward players that look for it as well.

not really naked (I was only one server with naked mod) but so they can't hide poisonous arrows and knives in their frilly chitin and flak
EDIT: actually meant so they don't have super armor. not sure why I even said hide weapons

Raptor Gladiator fights, temp tribe war using raptor to fight the other person's raptor. Easy to build octagon arena and players whistle "Attack this target" to kill the other player's raptor. With this arena you can also have different dino fights, and on the top could be viewing area for others just like a real gladiator arena. Also this arena could use as Dino vs. Admin spawn dino, people vs. people ect, ect. The last 3 winners gets price.

I absolutely love the Safari idea! it's close to what the ARK community do for fun anyway, with added pressure! Maybe Kibble could be provided for the targeted Dino species (so it's more about the hunt than waiting around) and tames tallied to individuals rather than per tribe - otherwise the 10-strong tribes will tame everything before us soloers even get our Quetzals off the ground! Survivors could still work together of course . . . might be good to have some allies! Attica

Closing in on the Poll choices
Thoughts so far: 1. Arenas sound fun, and the Safari does sound cool. 2. I'm hesitant to involve tribe wars in anything. Too many unknowns, too many potential issues. Unless it's tribe war with one tribe that hosts the arena instead of a free for all. 3. Target games and tossing games are simple and fun too. 4. We just had a race, it was water based, so I think that's out for the rotation. Here are the choices I'm thinking, though I'll need to talk to other admins and anyone interested in HOSTING all are part of one of these events Preliminary poll choices. - Dino Arena. Man Vs. Beast. (Solo or team on foot vs. spawned dinos up to alphas)
- Dino Safari. The Ultimate Tame. (Hunt and tame special colored dinos out in the world.)
- Dino Darts. Toss Jerby's/Dodos/Dung beetles?/Monkeys?/Ape tosses you?/archaeopteryx on target and/or puzzles set up. (Jerby tossing is something I wanted to set up on SE anyways)
Dino arena and dino tossing also have potential to build the event space, so if you want to host an arena or a tossing puzzle, you could vote for that as well If you would like to host all or part one of these events, shout out as well!! I'd love to build the stuff myself, but we gotta share the fun We could have multiple arenas, solo vs. team, small and large. The Dino Darts thing needs quite a few "game boards" as well, depending on which is chosen.

Ok I say we build a maze and fill it with aggressive penguins wearing Predator masks as shown below, fastest time through the maze without dying wins.

Another idea, for anytime in the future:
Dodo Herding
All we need is 2 smallish fenced-in pens in a larger fenced-in area (preferably with some rocks, etc. inside for obstacles). One of the pens (painted green for starting point, red for end?) is filled with dodos, the other is empty. Each player is given a couple whips, and the object is to be the fastest to get all the dodos from one pen into the other using only the whip. One of the admins should have a stopwatch handy. Should be hilarious when they start running everywhere!
I love all the suggestions so far, they all sound like a ton of fun.

1. Taming, exp, or gathering bonus weekend or day
Once a month or bi monthly do a small increase like 2x to one of them for a short time and reduce it back after the weekend or 24 hours is up.
2. Weekend or Day allow Carry Wild dinos with fliers Just like first only once a month or bi weekly and gets turned back off after the time is up.
3. Grapple hook obstacle course Obstacle course that you can grapple to different points and winner gets whats in the storage box at the end. Early points can be jumped to but mid way grapples become important and it gets more difficult as the course progresses.

Early points can be jumped to but mid way grapples become important and it gets more difficult as the course progresses. 1) Taming is already at x5 bonus rate and experience and gathering is at 2x ... it is a PVE server, we don't need faster on these, especially with the extra ingrams we get per level (you can train everything in the end). 2) PVE server, having the ability to carry wild dinos makes it too easy and is a killer to any kind of real challenge. That is a use only on PVP setting. 3) This could actually be fun... but as it is not a pvp server, our hooks would not actually hook on to anything that was not our tribe, so even if admins make a single course, we'd all have to join their tribe to be able to run it.
