So exactly what the f@#$ have you been doing to get this event off the ground? The majority of posts I see from you in regards to events in general just seem to be more whining than anything else.

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

AFAIK most customers are pretty damn happy with the CM team.

Oh really?

If begging for a KOTH (which I've incidently never seen you do) is considered 'working diddlying hard', then I'm just dying to hear what ya do for real work.

Lighten up. In the time it took for you to write that incredibly longwinded post, you could have found the conversion on the internet and posted it instead, helping ALL the Euros out.

Seeker the events are announced in US Eastern time and it is up to the player to convert the time.

There are a few reasons for this.

If we start doing more thatn E.S.T we are going to have to do EuropeAN...or more specifically..London time, Paris time, Frankfurt time, then we need to make the folks in Asia happy and convert to Tokyo etc etc etc. We are not trying to exclude anybody, we are ASSSUMING that the player can download the timezone converter off of the HTC website and use it. Failing that perhaps the player can ask a squad member or type a message on channel 1 in the main arena while playing.

OR....a player can even ask in a PROPER manner on this BB or in the Special Events Forum and perhaps get the answer.

You mentioned that you've worked damn hard for this event. If you truely worked hard at it great. Now how would you feel about it if I slammed all of your work, told you that it sucked, you sucked and this event was pathetic.....THINK ABOUT THAT FOR JUST A SECOND....PLEASE!

Seeker, I made the decision to have everyone on the CM team use US Eastern Time as the default time, and let everyone else use their time conversion tool of choice to figure out what time that is in their location. I myself live in the US Central time zone(same as HTC) and have to adjust my start times, too.

As a matter of fact, I'd like to ask you right now to do your part to help the community by making a conversion chart and post it in the Special Events forum, showing the start times of all our events, converted for every timezone in the world. I'd really appreciate it.

Skernsk...You suck, your squad sucks, and everything you do is pathetic. I'm looking forward to the event tonight tho'!

Seeker, you have really ran out of imagination if this is all you can come up with to whine about.

Yikes...look what I have done now. I am very sorry to anyone who was offended by my original post. I was just making a little jest in the hopes of boosting the attendance to the event. This will be the first event I host as a new member of the CM team and I wanted it to be a success.

I in no way meant to offend or exclude anyone with my little time zone joke. Hell those who were here for scenarios like Afrika Korps should remember the confusion we had during that one about time conversion and I just thought they might get a chuckle over it. Again, I am sorry if anyone was offended, but please dont let it keep you from attending tonite.

Event starts at 10pm Eastern which is GMT-6 (is this correct way of expressing it? someone please let me know so that I can use it in the future.)

I was going to attend, but after this very non-FDB like display of sincere sorrow and remorse, well, now I'm completely turned off to the event.

Of course, it'll be worth attending to watch all you guys turn on each other as soon as you say "fire!"

sling322 · « **Reply #23 on:** October 31, 2001, 09:52:00 AM »

Heh heh Nifty...I had to take my FDB hat off for a minute to make that post. I was wearing my official CM hat for that one.

When I announce "Killshooter is off!!" its gonna be a fediddleing madhouse brother. Gawd I cant wait to see what kinda hell breaks loose.

Exile: ask around. Don't confuse dissatisfaction with whining. Tard.

Moose: You're wrong. They're not. And it's the Events team's job to promote events, not mine.

Skernsk: You no more have to list every non-US time zone than you do every US Time zone. However, one per continent shouldn't be too taxing. There aren't that many. I (and I'm not completely alone) have made the same request repeatedly in every tone from polite to offensive. As this is the only time I've had a response I guess it's offensive that works. Assume all you want. You know what they say. If my work engendered negative responses, I would indeed be hurt (who wouldn't be?). I'd also ask my self what I was doing wrong. But that's an assumption.

banana: It's done, although the UBB doesn't give an optimum format (that could be my own ineptitude).

Sling: Best of luck with your first, it'll make you sweat, but it's so worthwhile. See you later (if I can stay awake.)

Hehe, I have a feeling the trip I had with Sling out to the woodshed had something to do with this un-FDB like behavior.

That big wooden paddle didn't work on Exile, though. He kept begging for more!

Hey Seeker ... I thought I'd skip the second hand stuff and just ask you up front.

What exactly have you done in the last 6 months to get this event off the ground?

Seeker · « **Reply #27 on:** October 31, 2001, 11:15:00 AM »

None of your buisness, frankly. If you were supposed to know, you would.

But I'm glad it's happened; if it goes right it's the most fun a furball jock could wish for.

See you up there (if I don't screw up the time)

So that's it? You make the statement above which makes it sound like your a driving force behind this event coming to light and when asked to back up that claim you come back with ... "It's none of your business". And now it seems I'm just not high enough up in the CM ranks to have heard about all your fluff'n hard work that's gone into the planning, scheduling and overall setup of this event.

Hey man ... more power to ya and keep up all your hard work. It's starting to pay off. You've built quit a reputation in the CM group, but I guess you would know that better than I.
