Further Hamidon madness?!
I'm free all weekend nights, so is most of my SG, and were all free on the weekends if anything doesn't come up. So we will be there whenever there is a raid
Twice a month is about as often as I'd want to raid Hami. I wouldn't mind doing two raids in two weeks or even two days if it was a once off but regular weekly raiding would become too much of a chore.
I'm pretty much available for raiding any night of the week. Regarding raid times I can do weekend raids at any time of the day/evening. It's harder for me to say what times would be good for me on weekday nights - due to other commitments some weeks a 7pm start might be fine but the next week an 8pm start would be better.

There's still no ETA on when Xan's gonna be able to log back in so if you want to do one soonish you should just go and set a date actually as I'm sure a lot of people would see more raids happening.
Think it's a good idea to have alternating days. Experience shows that Mondays, Thursdays and Sundays are the best days.
I agree with Gen 2 that we could "easily" do daily raids to some extent but it would quickly become too much of a chore so biweekly seems the best way to go.
You know I'm always up for some raiding

Not so keen on mondays, but Thursdays and Sundays sound good. Of course I have to check with Evil Bob if I can hop on his Broadband on thursdays, but if he's kind enough to let me I'd be fine with them

Sundays is usually best for me, but I should be able to do weeknights as well, depending on my work schedule (I work evenings one week in a month)
Ok bite the bullet time I have a PvP tourny on test this Sunday so how about ...
Assemble 7pm to raid at 8pm Monday 16th!

Sat & Sunday Night's are usally best for me GMT 7 - 8PM?? But i can be flexable with times, But Sat & Sun is a 100% Turn up day
1 - 2 Times a month is Perfect (my oppinion) but i really need to get ot of pvp zones & get Skinz to 50 ASAP ! Lol ! If Not Flush will allways be there with here lvl 54++ So Heal Spamm
All For 1 & 1 For All !!
Gonna have to bow out, Mondays are just a pain for me, is why I only started raiding when they started on Sundays

As I recall, the raids got a massive boost in attendance when they moved to Sundays, and I'd be wary of moving them for no good reason. Certainly, I don't think I could make a non-Sunday raid.

Yep I'll b there, hopefully will have 50 by then, although readin the feedback i would recommend sunday.
Ill be there Sunday or monday, havent been at a raid for a while.
I think for regular raiding you would be better off with sundays as fewer people will have obligations
I Doubt i can make a Monday, really tired after work & then my heart really isnt in it
Sunday is always better then Monday - As long as I remember to read these forums that is

54++ h4xx0r how did that get missed by others ??
Sundays anytime around 8pm start is good for me, Thursday evenings would be good, but mondays I'm not so keen on, seems like too many people are unable to make it, it would be crazy to jeopardise our resounding success last time..

Im more or less available regardless what day it is, but preferably try to start the raid earlier than 8pm. I have this timezone problem.. I agree wih others, once every two weeks is about as often as I'd care to do it.
Earlier than 8 pliz!
I'll drag my Controller along for non-running Raid's (IE; not by PD's and co.)

Sadly this is what I remember as well and is annoying as I'd love to see a non-Sunday raid, as I can never make Sundays
Right good to have some feedback, sadly for those who would prefer sundays this one will need to be monday as I have a PvP commitment on the 15th however a sunday raid should also be forthcomming and more feed back is always good as its the raiders that make the raid
Will put up an announcement of the raid shortly for Monday 16th perhaps 6-7 to assemble for an earlier start and finish?

Cool, Carni should be able to come along for my 1st ever Hami Raid, PAs at the ready.
Count my blaster/holder in yet again... need a better HO than the Travel Speed/End Cost one I got last time...
Well goodluck guys, see you on the next raid I guess

Most nights after work a'la 7-8 are ok for me but Sunday has become a bit of an institution and suits best but if it's got to be a Monday i should be there for PA dropping as usual.
Ok so since the success that was the last raid a few people here and in game have asked the million dollar question "So whens the next one?" the answer... Soon I hope but its up to the Defiant community at large since you are the ones who make it what it is.
I am happy to give a go at a getting together (and typing in perma caps at ) another raid soonish but before I do I figured I would fire off a few questions and ideas. Your responces as the raiders and the majority of the people involed I think are key to making it both successful and fun so to get the disussion started...
Q1 Dates: The idea of a couple of Hami teams alternating raids has been brought up, I am happy to organise one and I think Xanthus (when his uni lets him out of his evil anti CoX cage) and his crew are up for this also. So if we were to do this how often do people think is viable/fun. I am thinking 2 raids a month myself atm but what do people think/want?
Q2 Days & Times: What day and/or time works for people in my head atm the idea of alternating Sunday and Monday nights (6-7ish assembley 7-8ish starts) seems to work but again with seaking the views of you raiders
I think these two questions are a decent starting point as to sorting a rough raid schedule and getting everyone in on the fun.
So over to you questions, comments, opinions please.
Quick disclaimer: I cant speak for Xanth or his crew at all, the info above is all based on disscussions etc as best as I remember them.
Cheers,
White
