I'm not overly interested in discussion, just the poll results (not trying to be rude, just that these are the times I can do)

I think the friday time is already a date for something in Tuluk, so it might be best not to do it then.

In theory I could do any hour, but I'd prefer Monday as it would be more convenient.

Friday at nein pee-em ee ess tee eez best for mee.

I can't normally be on the net in the afternoon (for extended periods of time, anyways). I'd rather see it during the cool time. That is, when I'm on :D

Edited because...
!
Saturday same time works as well.
Except that's not an option...Friday people!

I can do any of these times but I voted for the Saturday one as it is probably the best for Europeans and our friends from down under.

Yeah... I know, ain't I thoughtful?  :lol:

Yeah as has been said Saturday means Eurpoean folks can play and not be up until 6am.
June 06, 2006, 09:46:27 PM #6
Please not Monday, please not Monday, oh how I beg of you please not Monday.
It's the only day that won't work, and seeing as I basically created a new character just to participate in this... (who would be stuck in a really dead-end role otherwise)...
I voted Saturday, for our friends down under.

I voted for Saturday, also, because I think it can accomodate the most people.   (I don't know how good it is down under though - didn't John have to get up at 6 AM for the last one?  But at least it'll be Sunday AM for them, rather than Monday.)

You left out the "Any time is okay" and "AS SOON AS POSSIBLE PLZ PLZ PLZ" options.
June 06, 2006, 10:39:23 PM #12
I understand why it being scheduled for Saturday is preferred, I'm in full support for that reason.

Sadly that is the one time I know I can't make  :?   Whatever, you n00bs can die then I'll log in later at night and take all I want from the corpses.

I have a gig Saturday afternoon, so I'm out if that's ahead.  My vote is a weeknight.

It looks like.

While most people have voted saturday..  There are schedule conflicts that come up on Saturday.

Does anyone have any problems with Sunday?  Or are most people just voting Saturday because they think other people want it?

I'm not trying to be an ass, I'm just trying to see is Saturday is voted higher because of reality, or because of perceived preference.  I have conflicts.. on none of the days.  I just want the most possible corpses to loot in the end.  :P

And I think what I said can be understood.  I dunno.  Basically.  Are there more schedule conflicts on Sunday or Saturday?  There are already a few people who say Saturday is out.  I don't see anyone saying Sunday is out.

PS. I have no preference.

Saturday is much better for me.  The other 3 times are problematic due to work.
June 07, 2006, 12:58:57 AM #21
I voted Saturday for my fellow off-peakers, but I'm good any day except Friday. I think you'd find if Sunday was being voted on, people would suddenly be announcing conflicts with Sunday (different people of course).
June 07, 2006, 01:07:18 AM #22
I voted Friday (because that's soonest), but any day works for me.

Pure selfishness, for my part. Sunday's a no-go for me that late in the afternoon.

Ok, I know you're not interest in feedback, but can I just say, this seems like a really good way to do these things?  Wow, a pole for RPTs, the thought never even crossed my mind before--brilliant.

If an off-peaker wants to attend the HRPT, they can vote on the poll themselves.  I'm just saying.

June 07, 2006, 01:54:06 AM #28
Saturday afternoon is actually the best time for me.. I could make an evening Saturday easily as well, but I'd rather do afternoon if it means more people can attend.

All the times work for me.  So I chose the one that I thought would be advantageous for others, too.

Ditto for me. Saturday is perfect for me which is why I decide to pick it, not to mention I figured Saturday would be good for alot of other people as well.

Friday is fine. Saturday 2pm though....John, your my times man, I'm sure you've already figured this out aswell. What time would that be in dingo country?
June 07, 2006, 02:25:42 AM #33
Only Friday and maybe Monday are a possibility for me. Saturday I have a flight home. The rest of that day will be celebrating my return, as well as Sunday.

Everything except what's in quotes are Australian times:

That would be on a Sunday 4:00 AM in the morning.

QuoteFriday June 9, 2006 at 9pm EST
That would be Saturday at 11:00 AM (I can never play on a Saturday so I didn't vote for it ;)).

QuoteSunday and Monday
They would be Monday and Tuesday.

Nothing.  Ideally you would realize that any time you pick is going to exclude some players, you have no way of knowing which time will be beneficial to the greatest amount of players, and thus picking a time because you think it will help other players is counter-productive.

I've said my piece.  Out of respect to the original poster, no more discussion will be forthcoming.

I voted Friday. I can do Saturday but would rather not. The rest are out of the question for me though.

No one seems to be doing anything on sundays.

Saturday at 2:00 P.M. (EST) would be a good time for me, considering the fun stuff doesn't happen in the streets until 9:00 P.M. - 12:00 A.M. (EST).  :D

It might be interesting to do a poll about what times don't work for people.
Any questions, comments, or condemnations to an eternity of fiery torment?

It's 9:15 am EST now. You'll see at the top of this reply what time it was posted your time, according to your computer. Basing the difference off of that makes it easy.

GMT is normally 5 hours ahead of EST (Not sure if EST observes daylight saving), which makes Sat the only time convenient for European players, unless you enjoy staying up until early mornings. ^_^

Saturday's by far the most convenient for me because I live sunny England, though I could stay up all night on Friday or Sunday (not Monday).
June 07, 2006, 05:59:56 PM #49
I will be at my fathers house Saterday night, while I have internet and can get Arm there, he can be a real arse sometimes when it comes to the internet. He seems to have some fear that "SOMEONE IS GANNA HACK US!", even though it's my older almost never used computer. Plus it's modem crashs after about 2 hours and you have to restart the computer.
I think Friday or Sunday would be better, or even Monday. But, it's not like my vote counts, whatever happens I hope that people have fun.

Of course one suggestion would be have it Sunday afternoon like we tried last time, that worked very well timewise I thought.
June 07, 2006, 06:44:17 PM #50
Could we get the official time posted? It appears that Saturday is the one most favored from the poll. Are there enough votes to call it yet?

:)
June 07, 2006, 09:35:17 PM #51
The times that are later in the day are awesome, cause then I don't have to worry so much about distractions, but that's just my point of view  :P And people I live with don't get why the internet even exists and get judgemental when I get on too early in the day. I can see it in their eyes!  :evil:

Thanks for answering the poll.  I did not, by the way, bother to read anyone's response, as I am not interested in them - just need to know which times work best.  Thanks!
