Looking to set up a Thursday night Mothership Raid

Greetings, denizens of Protector!

I was wondering on the possibility of having a scheduled Rikti Mothership raid on a Thursday night in the near future. My friends and I have a villain group that plays on Protector only on Thursdays (we all have other servers that we play on on other days), and, being the compulsive collectors that we are, are in need of the RWZ beacon to add to our base. Our group is only large enough for one full team, so we can't raid on our own without some difficulty (especially since not all of us have lvl 50s yet), so in order to gain the necessary badge on the mothership, we either need to organize a raid ourselves, or have one of our number join one that's already planned.

I can play my villain any day, but many of our members have a tighter schedule, and I'd really like to have them all participate, so a Thursday is preferable. If there are other nights where scheduled raids happen, I can join one of those, if you could be so kind as to let me know when.

We normally start playing by 7pm Central time, and play for a couple of hours till the group starts breaking up for other obligations. I've never led a raid myself, but have done enough of them to have the general idea, and usually I'm leading one of the teams.

I'd like to do this before Christmas, if possible. If there's enough interest to help, I'll be setting a definite date soon. Otherwise I'll just find a different raid to help with.

Thanks in advance.

I'll see what I can do for next week...December 3. Only problem is we have Thursday night fights that night. But, I'll see what I can do. Not surewhat I can do to persuade since I failed to be able to be here this week.

I'll talk to the Teamsters tonight and see if I can't get folks to agree to show up on the 3rd. What time?

Every Wednesday at 9 EST, if you were wondering.

We play from 7-9ish pm central time, guaranteed. Sometimes earlier if everyone shows up, most of us play till about 10. How about 8 pm central to split the difference? Shouldn't take more than an hour if we get enough folks at the start time. Might even get a couple of runs in if people are willing.

If the 3rd doesn't work for us, we can try again the next week.

8 pm central is 7 pm EST, right? We meet at 8 pm EST every Thursday anyhow, so if an hour later would be good for you guys, it would be better for us. We can probably field at least one team, and if we can get the folks in Protector Vigilance to lend a hand, that would be probably at least one more team.

8pm central is 9pm est.

8pm Central means 6pm Pacific, which is good for those on the West Coast who work until 5, or start to get home between 5-6 Pacific.

If this is a 8pm Central start, I can bring someone to help out.

Alright. Let's go ahead and make it for 8pm central on the 3rd, which is next Thursday. I'll get the word out to my VG, and we'll see who shows from what you guys can bring. Hero, Villain, doesn't matter to me. Please try to bring as many high levels as possible. I'd rather not drag along lowbies that are leaching xp.

Form up on the roof of the building just south of Pylon 17 (the southeast one, closest to the base) about 15 min prior. We'll wait till about 5 or 10 min after 8 to see who shows, if there's not enough at 8 to start on the Pylons. Otherwise, grab a team as we go.

See you guys on the Mothership!

Chan, don't you know me well enough by now to know I have no idea what time it is? :P 9 pm EST would be fine for us.

Then the time is set! 9 pm EST on Thursday will be a "special" RtR! Hope to see a full zone!

Time is an illusion. Time spent dancing under Atlas listening to KJSR.net, doubly so.

Apologies to Douglas Adams.

Agreed Kultie. It was a great turn out. Really glad and thankful to all those who came out and welcomed our new people to the server! Was a little rough at first, but people pulled together and poof! The Rikti was nothing to us. Oh and no...thank you for coming out.

Should have posted this sooner, but Thanks to all for the raid. I'm sorry I wasn't around for the finish of it. My laptop locked up before the GM was spawned, and by the time I could get back on the game after rebooting, the zone was full. The rest of my VG finished, and we got our beacon now.

We've been here for a while. Long enough to get a couple of characters each up into the high 40's and some 50s just by mainly playing once a week. Perhaps we can do it again sometime.
