Good to see others wanting to chip in on making a Hamidon Raid 
Most of the players know the strategy that I've used as Raid Leader. Its stickied up here on the forums
I guess it would be best to use this strategy as I've said, I have a feeling people have gotten used to it.
Advice inc:
Your not giving yourself much time as a coordinator, but get your team leaders as quick as possible. So that you have the leadership ready.
They have to help/make their team and lead them in doing their job, so you can be freed up doing yours. I've written some hints etc for every type of player in the raid Coordinator-Raid Leader /Team leader / Raider.
Do not be afraid of the list that I've written about Coordinator (first rule), so I'll say it again, do not be afraid!
If your not in Sals badgehunters, then make certain you are, also be in Union Taskforce.
At an evening ask if people would like to join in as raid team leaders on your current date. (Cause you need players that know how to lead your teams)
Well rest of what I would advice would be in the hamidon guide I wrote (heavily influenced by a few players that has either led Hamiraids or know alot of the game)
I wish you luck on the Hami raid, and I will see if I can attend
Also, make certain you give the time of the raid a little more precise time. GMT/CET...?

Let me see what am I doing on Saturday the 16th? Ah that was it I'm dinging 50 (years of age 
) and having a day out with family and friends. Still if I'm back in time I'll be sure and log in 'Chastity Girl' to take on the yellow mitos with the power of purity! (and a big sword 
)

Sorry that it didn't go ahead.
Reasons:
A: My computer is having quite a lot of fits recently
B: I could not find enough team leaders
C: There was not enough interest.
I tried.
More time away from the new and shiny is whats needed. Set a future date that allows for a build up of interest but be careful not to have people forget.
He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.
Just a bit of a warning and something we've learned on Virtue (though I haven't been able to test it recently) using a league for hami significantly increases zone lag and was even potentially the cause of a few zone crashes and rollbacks we saw on Virtue.
So we've just been doing them without a league.
Thanks for mentioning it Ransim.
I think i'll stay clear of the League system for Hami on those I will lead.

We've had trouble getting people to come for raids since the issue dropped but if I can I'll see about giving it a test again to see if any of the patches have helped the issue.

One of the latest patches cleared up some league issues, we've used the league on Pinnacle for a raid and it went fine.

I'll have to see if I can recruit enough people to try testing it. No one is doing hami on Virtue now though thanks to the iTrials.
I'll continue beating the dead horse for the red side raids on Sunday though and dragging people kicking and screaming to do them.

Pretty sure the zone and league were both full.

Thanks!
After think long and hard, and by that I mean for 10 seconds I have decided to arrange a Hami Raid.
You see, looking at the league system I decided it would be perfect to use in a Hamidon Raid.
Plus I really need shards right now.
I'll make one thing clear- I have never done a Hami Raid. Obviously, I would like some help in Co-ordinating it.
The date is Saturday 23th of April, 5 o'clock, British Summer Time. Be warned, this will probably be subject to change.
EDIT: The date has change to a week later.
EDIT: Thinking of changing this date again, possibly to the date of the royal wedding. It may also be on a bank holiday Monday.
I hope that this will work and any questions just ask.
