Add racing kings arenas (daily/weekly/monthly etc.)

Seems like they should just remove the entire variant from Lichess if they're not going to make any daily/weekly tournaments.
I'm in on making it more popular, but i doubt it'll work.
@chrst2100
Trying is better than not trying, and the lichess staff members seem clearly uninterested in implementing the daily/weekly tournaments.
"Oh, the turnout it too low, we won't implement it."
So? RK Revivals usually gather 20+ people!
"Oh Racing Kings is too different from regular chess"
Horde is very different from chess too, u know! Same with 960?
"Oh we'll do it later. Just quit bothering us."
Just implement the daily/weekly tournaments for crying out loud! All variants have daily/weekly/monthly tournaments! Even Horde has these kinds of assets!

So I say to lichess staff members: Just implement the daily/weekly tournaments!
I think, after one week of this event (We are currently at Revival of RK 8), and this event is attracting many players. If you create more tournament, people will get more curious and interesting in that variant. I think many new players have began playing Racing kings since we started implementing these Revival of RK tradition. @chesslo21 Don't worry, RK is growing, and more faster than you think!
Horde has a lot more sense than racing kings, study racing kings for a day, and you will just beat everyone, draws are made a lot. Chess960 is not different, it is so unique. Top GMs play chess960, no titled players play RK. Chess960 is like chess but starting in a unique position. Therefore I agree with the mods, not a lot of people play, a lot more play horde. And don't tell me they play horde more just because they have daily/weekly arenas, it was more popular before too. Annoying the mods won't do any good.
I am stating facts because you guys are lying! I don't want to play RK. I am good with just playing chess960 and Standard.
@mysterious_expert At least, I am still pushing to make the Revival everyday. Some new players have started to play in it every day. What happened with your Team Olympiads? More than half of the players have left it, which at the end it turned to a league. I am trying to make RK a community where everyone sticks together. Unfortunately, you were not able to make it (and I am sorry). My message I am trying to spread is that you need to show up the number of players to show the players that there are players who wants to play racing kings. Even though there are not many players that are playing, and yes I do beg some players to play (to let them know that it is happening), I will push and give everything I got to make RK a more popular variant. That is my main goal on lichess, and you can say whatever you want. I will do my best.
Listen, I am not mad at you. I just don't like that you are criticizing for something that I am almost all alone to do it.
