Er that being said.... The WW is gonna kick arse... I'm gonna be there if only to make someone waste ammo on me before I eventually die. I'm a generous person. I'd do that for you. See ya's tomorrow.  :)

Would it be too much to ask that event timings also be given in C.E.T.? (Central European time). You'd make a lot of happy campers.....

CET is 6 hours ahead of Eastern, therefore 4am (3am UK)

Why thank you, Sling, that's *exactly* the kind of user friendly attitude that's given AH such the active, varied and well attended history we've all enjoyed so much.

I'm sure you're one of the reasons the HTC events team is held in the regard it is.

Figured I better requote my own post to draw attention to the little yellow smiley thing at the end....did ya see that Seeker?  Get your panties out of a knot.   ;)  ;)  (there I put in 2 of em so you wouldnt miss em this time)

Incidentally....Events are always announced in Eastern US time but for some reason you take it upon yourself to call attention to the fact that we dont announce them in your time while everybody else just makes the conversion and shows up....why is that?  I mean, you dont see me causing a stir because they arent announced in Central US time just because that is where I live do you?

Lighen up Francis....it was a jest.

Sheeeeesh!!!   :rolleyes:

"why is that? I mean, you dont see me causing a stir because they arent announced in Central US time just because that is where I live do you"

Because EST is a US standard. CET is a European one. This is a global game.

I've been working diddlying hard for the last six months to get this event off the ground, and I want to see it do well.

To do that, it needs to be inclusive, not exclusive.

It's a simple concept. Why put obstacles in the way? Sure, AH *does*, by and large, have a mature clientele; but there's kids too.

Lastly, you've no idea how many times I've sat up untill 0400 only to find that the event started 0300 and some diddlywit forgot to add summer time, or winter time or similar (to be fair, 50% of the time it's been my own fault)

In reality, seeing as this is an aviation sim, we should be using UTC, but that's probably too geeky.

When we on this side of the pond book days off work so we can take part in these things, you can be absolutly sure we take our fun very, very seriously.

Buck up, and *help* people.
