So here's an Idea..

I know this has been discussed a lot in the past and shelved for various reasons..

I spoke with Amy about a mid week Hami raid and she said it would fall on others to get it up, she's very busy and couldnt solidly commit..

So that led me to a convo with Angie and Nibs (and Cam) and they're on board with the idea.. so.. here we go..


Next Wednesday, Dec 9th (time TBA.. i need to check with a couple people...)

It's a nice idea Cherry, but unfortunately I have a Wednesday night static team I am on so you won't see me in the Hive.

Best of luck, though.

I have hockey the next 2 wednesday nights at 8pm, so unless its the Late Late Hami Raid, I'd have to pass as well.

what he said. Sunday hami raids is why I did not start a new Static team this time. I can join that one from time to time without confilicting with something else.

blah, i knew my idea was flawed... Llewthor was actually 1 of the few ppl i wanted to talk...

OK im gonna leave this up and get a lil more feedback before i totally scrap wednesday...

Us girls also discussed Friday night.. thoughts?

I would love to see a raid on a different night other than Sunday. Due to rl happenings I haven't been able to do a raid in a few years. When I do get in-game on Sunday it's either too early or too late to participate. C'est la vie.

I always have Wednesday night off but that's because I work all morning until the afternoon. Usually by that point I don't to much on CoH because I'm so tired and I'd be affeared for exactly how well I could help on a Hami-raid by that point.

Depending on what time this would be run, I'd be interested in a Wed. or Fri. hami raid.

Just want to clarify this.

I wouldn't be opposed to helping out with or leading a second Hami raid per week. It's true that over the holiday season I'll be busy, but come January, I'll probably have the time, I just don't know *when* that will be. I'm going to be moving and starting my hospital rotations, and they've given me no set schedule as of yet. Once I know what my hours are I'll be able to give you a better picture of when I'll be available.

My guess is that folks might be busy during the holidays as well. You might want to wait until the new year to start planning 2 raids per week.

Either way, let me know when you're running it and I'll be there.

I would love to see two hami raids per week. Easy way to earn more merits, people who have RL issues will be able to access at least one, and players will get more experienced by running them more (ideally reducing the time necessary to complete a raid.

Having an extra Hami is a very good idea. It might open it up for some people who can't make the regular Sunday one.

I just wish we could get the redside one going more smoothly. I would totally make myself available to lead a team if you were to put one of those together (hint, hint). Maybe a redside "nuke the Hami" raid?

Well you know how I feel about it. Wed or Fri is fine by me. I agree with Amy about waiting til the 1st of the year. But I wouldn't mind being a team leader for ya. My Grav/Bubbler is at your disposal.

/e self, Have we ever been on a raid?

No, never. Why is that?

Could be because they're usually over when we log on.

Might be. Someone once told us they were like getting butt-cramps.

Wouldn't know until I tried one. Should really make an effort the next time it's advertised.

/e end


Hey Cherry, you'll probably have to start too early for me but if not, or if it's still going on at 9 PST, then count me in. NOTW really needs the merits, especially since I decided to start working on Quick-TF version of her. (And will need an extra $2B+ to IO out the build.)

You know I'd be there mate, if I could.
If it was on your Fridays I could par-take, so my vote is for it to be held ona Friday.

Hmm Hmm Hmmm...

*thinks*

I wonder what kinda population is around after 9 PST 12 EST on Fridays..

I soo soo sooo wanna have another raid night...

*ponders*

Thats almost too late. Youll start losing east costers if we start at 12m local.

8pmP/11pE might be a better start time for Friday night.

Numbers will still vary wildly based on what people have for friday night plans, but you should be able to get sufficient numbers of key positions in that time frame.

Let me see if I can help out a bit. I used to run old hami raids every single day of the week at various times and have tested out every time from before dawn to lolomgweR2drunk late Friday nights. Here are the best days and times from best to least for ya. Hami is Hami and Champion is still Champion and now you have to get less people together but more specific people needed. So it still should be accurate.

On a side note, and PAC people will hate me for this ....but they are the minority here. Trying to plan events late enough for them generally means EST people can't make it. Unfortunately it seems this server has WAY more EST people participating in events. I will occassionally schedule something late specifically for PAC people, but trying to do it on something like current hami where how many people you have is imperative...not so much.


Saturday night 9pm EST
Sunday night 7pm EST
Tuesday night & Thursday nights -- 9pm EST
Saturday Afternoon -- 4pm EST
Friday night -- midnight EST (just make sure you have your leads right, people will give up being its so late with delays or wipes)
Saturday morning around 10am EST (with advertising only)


BTW, believe it or not...if you happen to see a few good team leads on and ask them to do an impromptu hami raid at the right time, the zone will still fill up just as quickly as it would when planned. Just do a search to see how many people are on the server atm. Also realize BMT only has half the people on the server in it, running zone to zone and using other channels is pretty important IMHO. Some of the best raids ever came about from one of us leaders being bored and deciding we wanted Jello for dinner.

Why would we hate you to speaking the truth. Although, I think you could get a lot of PST people for event is you started to run them. It just doesn't seem like it because those who want to participate and can move their schedule, will go at the earlier times.

Me, I'm always happy for charity (thanks BK) and people doing things later.

(full disclosure: this could also just as well be all talk-out-of-my-hat and have no bearing on reality. Which is different from your normal posts, how?)

Cherry me love, I'm off work at 11 Atlantic, home and in game by 11:30, which gives me 1/2 an hour to spare before you start. Count me in.

I haven't done a raid in a couple months but I will be here for this one. I would start advertising it in game though, lots of people who frequent the boards, don't on the weekends. They are too busy playing. :-)
