LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, MY ASSOCIATES AND I ARE PROUD TO PRESENT:

------------------------------
EUROPEAN GENTLEMAN'S ULTRA-VIOLENT WEDNESDAY.

------------------------------

Yes, that's right! EU pilots of all shapes and sizes will have the chance to join in on the fun and challenge of organized scrims, and experienced veterans will re-experience the joy of coordination, collaboration and collateral damage!

Join us every Wednesday at 8pm GMT for the most civilized of mech destruction.

Because this is the first event, there will be discussions and polls available for you to help us give you the most pleasant combination of balance and behind-kicking!

I must ask, if possible, for you to join 15 minutes in advance to allow me the initial setup and team composition. If you are a non-punctual fellow, no big deal. Feel free to join in anyway for as long as the event continues!

----------------------------

Here's all the info you'll need:

• TS: nocturnal-instinct.eu
You do NOT need a microphone to join in, but most players to enjoy you being able to hear them of teamwork and such. Also, you'll need to be able to hear me so I can get you organized.

• Time: 20.00 GMT every Wednesday.

• No restriction on player mmr, level or time played. (I will however need to know your mmr for team balancing.)

• The awesome guys over at Critical Assist have gracefully given us permission to use their server. So huzzah for custom game modes!

----------------------------

- 7 pm GMT : Pre-party aka origination goes as far as showing up and playing (TS not really mandatory)
- 8 pm GMT : Actual Event aka organized matches, custom game modes and manual balancing of teams. (TS mandatory)
- 10 pm GMT : After-party aka for as long as the kettle is on the stove. (TS advised but not mandatory)

IT'S TEA TIME!

Spoiler

Oh, and one more thing... EVERYBODY CAN JOIN, EVEN NON-EUROPEANS! For example, if you live in the colonies and have a free morning or afternoon, feeling like a bit of Hawken, do feel free to join us! The more, the merrier I say! _{(The EGUVW can not be held responsible for property-damage, dismemberment or ping)}

In combination with some 'other events' you might have a day filled with blowing up you friends and foes.
Oh joy!

Nice to see events going on on the other side .  Best of wishes to you guys.  Wish I could help out, I love seeing events like these things.  Sadly I work almost all wednesday and will be smack dab right in the middle of work day.

[crockrocket]

Hmm... I'll have to test my EU ping from out here in Oregon! If it's too high of course I won't bog you guys down haha.

[Kopra]

Awesome! Looking forward to it.

Hmm, since I appear to be having Wednesdays off in the future and don't get too bad of a ping over there, I might join y'all!

Can you make it one hour earlier_ this would be awesome

[Zuurkern]

That would leave very little margin for us to set things up, especially in the future.

Aren't you in the same timezone as us though_ (GMT+1)

Hmmm, making it one hour earlier you say_ Then most of EU would get to hawken at 8pm, except for UK which would be 7pm, which it THE SECOND MOST IMPORTANT TIME OF ALL!

Food Time.

First one is Tea Time obviously...

I don't see a problem with that (personally), but other people might. I'm gonna make a poll for this, gimme a sec...

---------------------

EDIT: Also yes Zuurkern is right, that doesn't leave a lot of room for error.
EDIT 2: Poll has been added.

Good to hear! I hope with school and all beginning soon more people have wednesdays or Thursdays off. Also I've noticed ping from EU to US servers isn't that unplayable, so it should work fine. But hey, You'll find out once you come and get in some games .

[Amidatelion]

Yeah, some days it's 100 and some days it's 180. 100 is perfectly playable. 180 is... less so.

[SparkyJJC]

As an EU player from the UK, I approve of this event.

I'll get the crumpets.

[Houruck]

Have fun guys!

[DaPheel]

Looking forwards to it!

BECAUSE : EXPLOSIONS!

[Arevizz]

I may join just to see how it goes. This looks pretty cool.

[Houruck]

I really like the flyer.

[EliteShooter]

Just 3 words; thank you all.

Alright, so it would seem most people still do prefer the 8 pm GMT, but what if we do a pre-party at 7pm GMT_

This would then mostly involve doing 1v1's, DM's and other few-player game modes (that is, of course, unless enough people show up early to make other things possible).Then at 8pm GMT the event would start could start doing full-on 6v6 game modes, like TDM, Siege and MA, and later in the evening go to the after-party and go back to duels or maybe even a fight-club.

Basically it'll be like this:

- 7 pm GMT : Few Player party aka origination goes as far as showing up and playing (TS not really mandatory)
- 8 pm GMT : Actual Event aka organized matches, custom game modes and manual balancing of teams. (TS mandatory)
- 10 pm GMT : After-party aka for as long as the kettle is on the stove. (TS advised but not mandatory)


Sound good for most of you guys_
