-Sunday
-Lentolaivue 34
-BlauK
-4-6

The finnish AH community has been very interested in the ToD. I'm sure there will be more than just LLv34 participating, once the euro ToD starts.

Seeker why the huge attitude?

The AH CM corp has Euro CM's, as well as Pac Rim CM's. When we dropped a snapshot to setup the TOD we didn't drop a Euro friendly time, we dropped the Fri Night snapshot. In no way are the euro players being treated as second class citizens.

We have exactly 1 TOD under our belt, are just getting the automation setup & running (Big <S> to exile) and already daddog is trying to see if the interest is there for a euro TOD.

Could it be the real problem is that you feel YOU should be running events but no one has invited you into the CM corp? Little case of sour grapes perhaps?

We currently have 13 squads signed up & rdy to go for the next TOD. So far I've seen 3 squads provide the info that daddog needs to even consider a euro TOD.

Instead of giving us your attitude go round up the squads, get involved in the solution.

OR go design & run your own event, there is NOTHING stopping you.

Im sure air squad would be interested in a TOD at euro times. Several wanted to take part in US one but was a bit too late.
You tell us when its to be & im sure we will be able to field a team of 5-6.
Thanks for at least looking at it.

Salute!

We aren't a full Euro squad but half our members are Euro

We run from West Coast to Germany so timeslots are hard for us to find that work for everyone.

1. Either day would work.
2. VMF-115 =Joe`s Jokers=
3. Redwing
4. 4-6

I really hoped that more Euro based squads would reply here. Especially as many screamed when the TOD started. I think if all of them could sign in there would be plenty to do this with.

As a CM I know a TON of work went into getting the TOD set up and even more to make it fly the first time. It has always been the intention of offering another timeslot for the TOD but that won't happen unless there are enough players to fill it out.

We are from North America but a weekend afternoon time works best for us, so count us with the Euros.

1. What day is better for you or your squad, Saturday or Sunday?
Saturday

2. What is the name of your squad?
See sig below

3. Who is the C.O.?
Me funkedup@raf303.org

4. How many could they commit to each frame? (4-6) (7-10) (11-15) (16-20) (21-25) (26-30) or more?
4-6

I live in England right, just north of London. This TOD was at 4am, on a Friday night. I was a little bit drunk, y'know what i mean

We dont want to go and split the numbers up for the TOD, i play a worldwide game to play alongside other countries too, not just this country. We dont want to get everyone to lose interest in it. Its about the time it starts thats all. WE need a more friendly time for everyone, not jsut the US.

I understand fully that maybe more people in the states play this game, due to their population and internet connections, but im sure they can adjust a little in their start time.

Daddog, is it possible to have variating start times? Does it have to be the same start time each week? Maybe where 1 timezone gets up early 1 week, then the other timezone gets up early the next?

Anyway im all for helping us euros out, but dont split the people up in their 'own' TODs.

Seeker has a point...

Euro TOD will see what?? 30-40 players up tops?
US TOD saw... 70-100??

Why not save work and effort and schedule 1 TOD in the afternoon CST on a weekend? Summer is over!! more people will be spending more time at home. Winter is coming which we all know is prime gaming time.
Rather see 110-150 in 1 TOD

Vladd · « **Reply #23 on:** August 27, 2001, 03:34:00 PM »

1 - Sunday probably better for us

2 - "Firebirds" 56(Fighter)Sqn - RAF

3 - Vladd

4 - 4-6 definately, possibly 7-10.

Hope this is a success guys - Good Luck with it.

Wotan · « **Reply #24 on:** August 27, 2001, 03:49:00 PM »

would it be possible to do snapshots friday and sunday and tod saturday? We no longer do check 6 on sunday and i kinda digged 2 snapshots.

My squaddies and I would prefer a weekend afternoon (est here) over a late friday night.

FOGOLD · « **Reply #25 on:** August 27, 2001, 04:55:00 PM »

I'd love to play a European friendly TOD. Some of you guys are getting way too uptight about it though. If the time suits I'll join the Vikings on it. If not I wont. Some poor bugger has to organise it after all!

Nash · « **Reply #26 on:** August 27, 2001, 05:42:00 PM »

This is looking better.

Just a quick & dirty tally shows 43-52 Euro flyers. I didn't count funked's/wotan's desire to move from the current TOD to the Euro timeslot, as I believe daddog's intent here really isn't about the timeslot specifically, he just wants to know how many Europeans would be interested in this event.

And yeah, the numbers are getting much better.

Keep the replies coming, and let other potentially interested squads know about this survey if they don't already. The more you bring on board, the stronger your case. Things are looking up.

Rocket · « **Reply #27 on:** August 27, 2001, 08:12:00 PM »

Also remember this is not a poll just for a European TOD but a TOD with Euro friendly timing

VMF-115 has currently about 8 flying regularly.. with 1/2 being in Europe. It just makes it easier on us as a whole

Wotan · « **Reply #28 on:** August 27, 2001, 08:30:00 PM »

oh i should have said that 3 of the seven that flew tod with jv44 were from europe

Zigrat · « **Reply #29 on:** August 27, 2001, 11:19:00 PM »

there are at least 4 assasins that can make it like on a sunday afternoon, like late afternoon or something around there.. 1 pacific 4 eastern or something

mabye more assasins can make it but i figured id just let you know that if you do it at a time like on weekend afternoon at say 4 pm then alot of non euros will fly in it too...

plus its like at 10 pm in europe so thats good for them too!
