I personally think that ass day is very stale compared to any given regular day, especially when there's not any admins on to run gimmicks. It does get to feel very same-y when there's no gimmicks being ran, it turns into sort of a slog if admins aren't actively touching it, and lowpop late-night assday isn't really fun at all. The event itself leads to a drop in population so clearly a significant portion of the playerbase doesn't like it, so I don't see harm in trying to make it into something that more people could enjoy.
There's merit to the idea of just having it be silly modes instead of having it be a "grief day". It could have modes like the mentioned Ass Day Classic where every type of grief is allowed, and there could be more weird shit, like maybe there could be weird mashup modes like werewolf nukeops or Battle Royale or whatever bizarre goofy modes. This would add variety to the day, which is, in my opinion, the biggest flaw of assday. Hell, you could even have people vote from a list of goofy modes for the day, so that people get to do ass day the "old" way they can. Sounds like a good way to give people what they want instead of driving people off the server.
Admin gimmicks on ass day can be fun, but I very often think that they could be just as good on any other day, if they really need to have everyone being able to grief we have the "make everyone an antagonist" button. We can't maintain constant admin gimmicks for 24h, so there's always gonna be the ass day slog times. Ass Jam is wonderful of course and another great way to spice it up and add variety, or at least a reason to play on the 13th. It's Very A Lot Of Work though!
