Ok everyone. Paul has given me the cycle times.

The Plan
Hit the first 1hr of scouting and then 1hr of 12v12


The Date/Time

Date: 05/05/2019
Time: 02:45 UTC (24HR Time)

You will need to convert that time into your own timezone. Start time is 15mins earlier than the phase start time to make sure we are ready/have people there and so on.


How do I get onboard?

You can a few ways...

• Just queue up at that time
  
• I will be streaming it - Link is in my signature
  
• Join us on the discord - Sig link will take you there
  
• Please do not select your contract / faction.

Do I need to have anything ready?

Yes. You need to get the PTS updated PRIOR. I know this seems like common sense but it needs to be said. We don't want to be wasting 20mins for people to update it. It can take 30mins to update so you need to have that sorted.

I will try and balance it as best I can in terms of numbers/players so the sides are as even as possible and try get a 50/50 split between each population. Thus point #4 above, its pretty important. If everyone stacks one side this will not work.

We also want to get some of the SSR data which should evolve over the course of the first hour so there is a bit of method to the madness.

I also have a mechbay/1000MC to giveaway on the stream while we are doing it all



See y'all tomorrow! Basically 24hrs from this post

I'm interested in participating. However I have already chosen to join Steiner. My time zone is in PST.

Your contract resets every cycle. So every 6hrs or so you have to reselect.

Changing it won't be a major issue.

Thanks, I was not sure if ASH meant 2:45 AM or PM. Either way, you are correct. I guess ill see him on 7:45AM or 7:45PM PST.

Good idea! Unfortunately that's 4:45am for me, on a Sunday

[LTG Renner]

MAY THE 4th BE with us all on this glorious day we flood the PTS

[Ch_R0me]

Just discovered that my laptop tends to load up Invasion match in more than 6 minutes (!), sometimes even longer, ad infinitum.

Idk if I could continue with such problem...

Ended one such match with wasted 12 mins on beggining, and a matchmaking error for supposed AFK. Also - Idk if I was reported for such problem...

I'm gonna warn you ASH, 5th of may will have a lot of us in the US drunk as a skunk... should be good times lol

[justcallme A S H]

Except it's not the 5th in the US today. It's the 4th.

I think you've failed at timezone conversion...

[Grus]

yep, and i keep forgetting that your one of those upsidedown people.

[justcallme A S H]

Nothing to do with forgetting though.

Just look at the UTC date/time and convert it... It'll come out right every time

[Gh0stie Gaming]

Got a few in the PTR right now if anyone wants to hop on. Its a bit earlier than what Ash was asking for but if we got the bodies we can start now!!

pretty sure murka has more time zones than that. if i had my way murka would be the name of our planet. gotta build that wall to keep the aliens out, and we will make the aliens pay for it.
