If it had just been a couple of times it would have been no problem  but this was regular all thru the night, even going on about practise. Now thats great for you guys that enjoy those things but I'm sure just a couple of reminders would have been enough.
I personally didnt see it, I have always known them to just give about 1 every 10 minutes 30-40 minutes before hand, I mean seriously is it as bad as "oink" :aok

I saw it and it was not that bothersome.   Quit your grumping, these guys give up their time to setup events for all of us..

The Announcement channel is not meant to be spammed, if it was announced more than 2 times, I will have a discussions so all CM's are aware.

I did not see it, but I logged on after the snapshot had started.  There is no reason it cannot be announced more than 2 times.  I would think once at a half hour before the event starts, then at 15 minutes, and again at 5 minutes. 

CM's are just trying to get a turn out to make the events fun, if it happened 8 or 10 times, then yea it could be annoying, but it is just text, I miss most of what comes up on text myself, but thats just me.

It was announced several times including announcements for practice. It was not to a point of being bothersome to me at all. I understand these folks would like to make sure that everyone has a chance to participate in the events. No matter how many times something like this is announced there will always be the one who says "I didn't know about it".  :D

Personally I really appreciate the guys and gals that give so much of their time to put these together and bring them to fruition.

QFT in its entirety............

I have to admit after about the 15th time it was posted....... I did see 2 guys talking about it one saying something along the lines of "hey that sounds like fun, wanna go do it" the other saying something like "sure lets go"

so that means the announcements got at LEAST 2 more people to go fly in the event...... so it does have a positive effect in making people aware

I was on last night......... 68Hawk certainly was aggressive....  But the Battle of Britain......  BIG SE. 


Didn't bother me at all. 

Maybe the OP has OCD and HAS to read everything in the chat?  I could see it bothering somebody with OCD.

reasonable... Should clarify, I like 68's ok, fun folks to fly against, had I the time, prolly fly in snapshot thingie...but I usually have like 90 minutes to splatter my blood in various patterns each night--when this event occurs, it's like walking down the midway at a circus, with a barker trying to get you to pay up and see the 2 headed wolf boy in the tent....for ME, quite annoying after a point.

With all of the crap that's on 200, this is not what I would call spam... we all have different opinions I guess.

How long has that been going on? I dont play much anymore.

it's been going on for awhile now. i see it almost every time there's an event. it could be annoying, but it's not to me really.

it's a good way for them to get things out...and i can understand them repeating it, as sometimes someone may have logged in late, or may have been in the midst of a fight, and not read it........
