*sam* Posted Dec 21, 2015, 11:29 am	For this year's festive event, I want to run a deathrace with timetrial qualifiers. I'm thinking flaming mooses on the Dirt Racing track. Any opinions? Prize might be a squad car.
Racing Robbie Posted Dec 21, 2015, 12:10 pm	Don't you mean Flaming Reindeer? Sounds fun, if I'm about I'll be there
*Jagged Monkey* Posted Dec 21, 2015, 1:02 pm	Count me in. There's nothing like roast moose. Yum!
*Awefense* Posted Dec 21, 2015, 1:39 pm	Nothing more festive then Death! Working all day Christmas Day. Off the rest of the weekend. Count me in if the time of event permits! Awefense
Paul Simon Posted Dec 21, 2015, 1:54 pm	I would join, recommend a track with jump ramps since reindeer "FLY"
DirkNotSoGently Posted Dec 21, 2015, 1:59 pm	I'll likely join in all your reindeer games
JoniBoy Posted Dec 21, 2015, 2:23 pm	Count me in!
Sir Nexus Posted Dec 21, 2015, 5:18 pm	For a squad car? Prepare to die!
d0dger Posted Dec 22, 2015, 12:03 am	set a date/time already! sounds fun!
*Tango* Posted Dec 22, 2015, 11:08 am	Sounds like a blazing good time to me
*sam* Posted Dec 22, 2015, 5:48 pm	How does 11.30pm on Dec 28th sound? With a number of qualifying timetrials on the 26th, 27th and 28th I guess skillcaps are probably a good idea too, although the weapons involved pretty much negates the usefulness of gunnery. So we could go for something reasonably high, like 120 ?
Sir Nexus Posted Dec 22, 2015, 6:34 pm	Assuming it's 11:30PM Game time, I'm in.

So we could go for something reasonably high, like 120 ? That is Monday and server time. North American side makes it at 3:30pm. That's just so everyone knows. I may be able to make it, but it would be a race day decision. Would this be open for Scav gangs to compete? If not, could there be one added for Scavs? I can create a special event badge for the winner as well.
*sam* Posted Dec 22, 2015, 8:21 pm	*The X Man* said: Would this be open for Scav gangs to compete? If not, could there be one added for Scavs? Yeah, sure. They can compete in the same town events as normal gangs can't they? (this is a genuine question: I don't recall, but I *think* they can).
Sir Nexus Posted Dec 22, 2015, 8:27 pm	3:30PM Sunday though, right?
*sam* Posted Dec 22, 2015, 8:39 pm	Mad Mardigan said: 3:30PM Sunday though, right? 11:30pm Monday (server time) - whatever that is for you!
Bolt Thrower Posted Dec 22, 2015, 9:41 pm	Mad Mardigan said: 3:30PM Sunday though, right? No, it is Monday 3:30 pm PST.  That should thin the field a lot.
Sir Nexus Posted Dec 22, 2015, 10:52 pm	Well, great for all of you over there :)
Sir Nexus Posted Dec 22, 2015, 10:53 pm	Also, it should be the impossible track with the jump in SS. Name escapes me. Because then it'll be twice as interesting!

I thought we were -6 (Me anyway Central US)  Making it 5:30 AM and PST being another -2 on me making you 3:30 AM not PM ???
*StCrispin* ce.services.mh@gmail.com Posted Dec 23, 2015, 12:00 am	Yeah... right NOW is 6PM my time and Midnight Server. so im -6 PST is -8 Making that 3:30 AM Monday
Sir Nexus Posted Dec 23, 2015, 1:02 am	Ha, THAT I can do.
*The X Man* Posted Dec 23, 2015, 3:34 am	11:30pm server - (minus) 8 hours is 3:30pm (PST) - (minus) 6 hours is 5:30pm (CST) I thought all you ammo spreadsheet gurus would be better at math than that! I guess because we are dealing with absolutes here instead of made up cost analysis numbers
*StCrispin* ce.services.mh@gmail.com Posted Dec 23, 2015, 3:50 am	didn't Sam say 1130 server?  NOT 2330 ? Oh, Nevermind,  I thought he said 11:30 Server I see now he indicated PM and NOT "Server Time" Which brings up the question:  Is Sam in the same timezone as Server Time?  I thought Server Time was GMT and Ireland was -1 GMT

*StCrispin* ce.services.mh@gmail.com Posted Dec 23, 2015, 3:54 am	so to be 100% CLEAR you meant 2330 Server right? I'll be at work. I could have made 11:30 Server but not 23:30
*The X Man* Posted Dec 23, 2015, 3:55 am	Everything Sam posts is server time. Its up to us to do the math.

Ireland is GMT+0
d0dger Posted Dec 23, 2015, 1:56 pm	Would be at work for the suggested time too. If only I worked at a University and had the whole week or two off for the holidays!!!
*sam* Posted Dec 23, 2015, 3:05 pm	Ah sorry.. we could make it a day earlier? Sunday 27th?
*The X Man* Posted Dec 23, 2015, 5:45 pm	*sam* said: Ah sorry.. we could make it a day earlier? Sunday 27th? That would probably be better so it would allow for more player participation. Don't worry, I will explain the time/date change to crispin so he knows when it is
*Awefense* Posted Dec 23, 2015, 6:02 pm	28th = working...as in trading time for money. 27th = Great! Awefense
Sir Nexus Posted Dec 23, 2015, 6:15 pm	27th as well for me too
JoniBoy Posted Dec 23, 2015, 8:19 pm	27th doesnt suit me but I guess it will never suit everyone
Joel Autobaun Posted Dec 24, 2015, 2:19 am	27th...before or after COEs maybe? jeez why do these awesome PvP event overlap on the COEs all the time(only pvp events really)
*sam* Posted Dec 24, 2015, 9:44 am	.. ah, I guess we could push it out to 0:00 on the 28th? Does that give time to do the Firelight deathrally?
JoniBoy Posted Dec 24, 2015, 10:12 am	Then comes the rally, at 1:00 server.
*Brunwulf* Posted Dec 24, 2015, 5:33 pm	JoniBoy said: Then comes the rally, at 1:00 server. LOL- don't think many will last for 54 mins!

*sam* Posted Dec 25, 2015, 11:25 am	Ok, the main event and its qualifiers are now in the events diary!
*lumplore* Posted Dec 26, 2015, 2:43 am	Wee!
Joel Autobaun Posted Dec 26, 2015, 7:41 pm	EAA DR rules apply. Not very pedestrian... lol Maybe just ban psi? (hand weapons are a Slay ride staple ?)

*sam* Posted Dec 27, 2015, 12:15 pm	I prefer deathraces that aren't marred by ped snipers, to be honest
*Joskney* Posted Dec 27, 2015, 6:22 pm	THANKS Snipe stealing *Sam*'s car... THANKS
*sam* Posted Dec 27, 2015, 9:44 pm	The ped stuff can be fun, it's true - but it's a bit close to griefing on the leaders sometimes

*Longo* Posted Dec 18, 2018, 3:06 am	Sam- Any Santa events this year?
Danterran Posted Dec 20, 2018, 11:51 pm	Looking forward to it!
ShawnFireDragon coldmolasses@live.ca Posted Dec 20, 2018, 11:59 pm	Will the event be in Morgan? The land of ice and snow.
ShawnFireDragon coldmolasses@live.ca Posted Dec 12, 2019, 3:12 pm	"Ho Ho Ho" Says the fat man. Will we have any Santa Events this season?
*The X Man* Posted Dec 13, 2019, 4:57 am	I will request a special event, see what Sam can do.
*Longo* Posted Dec 13, 2019, 7:47 am	It would be great fun!
*goat starer* Posted Dec 13, 2019, 9:42 am	cool.... failing that we can run the Motorhome race... I'm skinning them as the RV from National lampoon Christmas Vacation as we speak!

*The X Man* Posted Dec 15, 2019, 7:55 am	We will have a Sleigh Ride event! I am working out the details with Sam and will post the info here once approved.
limaechogolf Posted Dec 15, 2019, 2:12 pm	AWESOME ! way to go X man.
*The X Man* Posted Dec 16, 2019, 8:27 am	Santa's Sleigh Ride 2019 Event. Everything has been approved. Details will be listed after a quick player response to the Date and Time of the Event. Sunday December 29th at 0800 server time. Saturday the 28th at the same time is possible too. I need as many players to give their opinions if this will work or if another time slot will allow for better player participation. So pass the word around to others in the lobby. Thanks in advance for your input. P.S. Also, I need a head count. Please post if you plan to attend the event.
ShawnFireDragon coldmolasses@live.ca Posted Dec 16, 2019, 9:41 am	Count me in brother. I will try my jolly best to be there no matter what time. Hohoho

*goat starer* Posted Dec 16, 2019, 10:11 am	that would be a great idea
*The X Man* Posted Dec 17, 2019, 8:22 am	Poll has been created and posted in the Ladders and Leagues forum.
Grimm Sykes Posted Dec 18, 2019, 3:13 am	any day between 22:00 and 05:00 server time is fine with me, if i'm still alive and not in a mental ward i'll show up
Clay clay.phelps@outlook.com Posted Dec 18, 2019, 7:16 am	I'm in on any day any time but Christmas day and new years day Australian time zone WA (western Australia)
*Shonufff* dixon.shogun@gmail.com Posted Dec 19, 2019, 1:17 am	I think Dec 28th is the best date. As far as time goes.. Do we have statistics that show when most players are online historically? If so, I would recommend giving that time some consideration.
*sam* Posted Dec 19, 2019, 11:09 am	*Shonufff* said: Do we have statistics that show when most players are online historically? If so, I  would recommend giving that time some consideration. We sure do! I've been logging the number of players in the game every 30 minutes since August 2007. Here's the data summed up into 1-hour intervals. It looks like 10pm is the peak, historically.  But anything between 8pm and 4am is pretty close.
*sam* Posted Dec 19, 2019, 11:38 am	Oh, this is cool too!  I graphed the average number of players in the lobby since 2007 I'm not sure what the early 2008 peak was. I knew 2019 was doing better than 2018.. nice to see it confirmed !
*The X Man* Posted Dec 20, 2019, 7:21 am	Santa's Slay Ride 2019 rules have been posted in the Morgan RP forums
