Battlezone 1

We entertained the idea, but could it be done?

Imagine having every player known to BZ comming on that day/night and staying for a couple hours to play and chat... Multiple full 8/8 DMs... Multiple full 4/4 Strats...

There's no party like a Battlezone party!

I know there are plenty of people that have played...

Though, If we had alot of people... I wonder if the server could take the load...

how about every Sunday,
note that ppl in Europe probably can't play if the so called "night" starts to late (that is if you are talking about an American night)

Well I have work sundays 5 pm - 10 pm (gmt) so that would be no good.
Any chance of a noob room so I can play against the other crap players (only actually bothered to go on multiplayer like once a few years ago and once a few years before that got my ass handed to me both times LOL)

Maybe instead of a night or a day, why not weekends?

How would having BZ nights on weekdays be any different to how it is now? You'll run into timezone issues either way you do this. We could do it in a staggered form, perhaps every weekend. One weekend maybe have it to where the US time zones be on at 5 PM EST (10PM GMT) and the next weekend have the US time zones be on at 2 PM EST (7PM GMT).

That's just a suggestion, play with it.

Or we could get everybody to actually stick around the lobby, instead of doing the entered-left routine that so many do.

With BZ and/or RO in a window, there's no reason not to be in the lobby. Like that you can monitor the lobby while doing other things and you'll find that approach is generally a lot more successful than just popping in at random times for only 5 seconds.

People are going to pop in and out anyways. That just seems like a remedy for everyday, which is a good idea, but if you have a "full house" with multiple 8/8 and 4/4 games going on and a couple of others that are open, I'm sure the enter-leavers might stay. Also, what about the people who get on BZ once a week or however many times they get on? At least we can try to have a "Full House" when they get on.

BZ weekends and/or nights is just an advertising program to get the players that aren't on all the time, to at least show at this time where everyone around their timezone is on. If this doesn't workout, so be it. If it does, WOOT!

A weekend is probably better because it encompasses all timezones multiple times. Who starts Friday first? Europe? America?

This useless topic (except Spork's useful linking post) won't bring more players to BZ. However, like said many times before; more people in the lobby/games will bring more people to the lobby/games. You can talk about it here and achieve nothing, or come to the lobby and start something...

Kiritimati.

Isn't that in the Hawaii timezone




GMT = +0.00; Europe begins the day sooner.

I don't see a question mark, which means you are correcting me. You should know better by now... I'm here to correct you.

Beside Guern's question not being or-or (what would be discriminatory anyway), your 2-lines sentences, posted in 10 rows, are completely wrong.

Yea, because Christmas island is now GMT

Suggestions about staggering the time zones aren't discriminatory.

Kiritimati is not in Hawaii time zone, nor in GMT(0) time zone. Why you keep embarrassing yourself with something that can be found by googling?

Discriminatory would be implying that there are no important parts of the world other than Europe and America.
