To our Leader and maker of the Ironworks,We are requesting the following Idea.
For us the people of Ironworks to have a weekend once a month or once every 6 weeks to have Escape from Undremountain to ourselves. We are requesting at least Three(3) 48 hr Time periods between now and the end of this summer and 1 or 2 periods in the fall if possiable, The reason is, in order to Role play in character in true team fashion, some what like the old PnP or the Role players forum here at Ironwork. The Role play day would consist of just Team Ironworks and any members of the Ironworks forum that wish to join in on some real RPG Game play. Maybe we could even Get You (Ziroc) To DM part of each game. With three seperate Time zone start times in a 48 hour period. Each period being 8 hours long. With a clean reset and all teleports on LvL 3 & in the Yawning portal inn disabled. Nobody jumps on purpose I never said you couldn't trap any of us and send them down thus needing rescue (The Quest) Everybody has expressed that they want to RUN the Guantlet and start at lvl 1 0r 2 and go all the way to 13 fighting our way down. The role play day should be a day where the only way into the EfU Mod is by secure Password that changes for each Gameday to make sure we keep the outside world's Uber PC's out. That way, we in each time zone get a start time and a end time more suited to their zones awake hours. Everybody in Ziroc's time zone like myself and Larry always set the start time for around 8:00 P.M. east coast U.S.A This is quit unfair to our Australian time zone members and those in the united Kingdoms Time zone not being able to have a time that starts at an hour that is better for them to play. With three seperate game starts at 8:00 P.M. in each time zone we may be able to get Memnoch to join us, If we can get him away from his women.LOL Gamers of Ironworks give me an Idea what hours in your area would be best for all of you and I'll make up A time table that Ziroc can work with as it is now he resets the server twice a day I think?, around 9:00 am and, again at 9:00 P.M. and that's fine most of the time but it gets tireing to go through a game that has been slaghtered by an Uber force just ahead of you. Everybody that likes this Idea please Express yourself and post you thoughts on this Idea. Including you Ziroc because after all, this is your mod and without your help none of this would ever be able to happen. Thank you all [img]smile.gif[/img] [ 05-16-2004, 11:30 PM: Message edited by: TheCrimsomBlade ]

Hey TCB,
The 8.pm start is Ok for the Aussies if we want to get up and be online at 10.am the next day. Example. 8.pm Friday night in USA Eastern is 10 am Saturday Morning in Sydney Australia. That time works for me. No sure how it works for the guys in Europe. Thanks for brining this up!

If 8:00 P.M. Fri eastern is 10:00 A.M. Saturday Sydney & 01:00 A.M. GMT.
Then 8:00 P.M. Friday in Sydney would make it 06:00 A.M. thursday here on the eastcoast 11:00 A.M. thursday GMT. 8:00 P.M. Saterday GMT would make it 3:00 P.M. east on Saturday & 05:00 A.M. sunday Sydney. now the trick is getting Ziroc to reset the server; ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- All start times below are Ziroc's Time Zone reset times. All resets are 30 min prior to start time First Reset time at 05:30 A.M. Thursday A.M. East for the Sydney 8:00 P.M. Friday night start time second Reset time at 7:30 P.M. Friday night for the East coast 8:00 P.M. and 5:00 P.M. West coast U.S.A. Start Time. Third Reset Time at 2:30 P.M. East Saturday afternoon for the GMT 8:00 P.M. start Time. then it's Time for normal reset and removal of the Password at 12:00 P.M. saturday night This time chart would give each time zone an 8:00 P.M. start time with at least 9 hrs of game play. As I said the trick is getting Ziroc to go along with it. Setting up the Passwords and the Dates we want to play that Ziroc would be willing to take his time in the reset process.

This sounds like a cool idea, and one I think I can do for ya. Let's pick a exact time and date--but I won't always be in there to DM though, but I will really try to. I think the new areas opening in a few days will be GREAT for this too!!
