    I'm sure alot of us would be interested in getting together some nights to roll stuff on the Mechspecs TS, the Mechspecs way!

    So are there certain nights/days that would be preferred for this? With the time-zone differences, I imagine it'd probably be ideal for most of us if it was set for somewhere around 1800-1900 GMT, though probably also extending to ~2100 GMT. Maybe a weekend? Friday, Saturday, or Sunday? Afternoon NA, Evening EU?

    I just thought it'd be neat to try to organize something like this, to bring us together for drops. Let us know!


    Edit: As an aside, it'd be best if we always list times in GMT, that way we're always on the same page, and not getting mixed up between time-zones and whatever else. I keep a GMT clock on my desktop (easily activated through Task-bar) so I can always check what the current GMT hour is. But for those who can get confused over this, here's a quick chart, as suggested by Aylek, with GMT conversions listed across the bottom:

    Also, here's a link to an easy-to-use GMT clock, which shows the real time in GMT, and has the option to check current time in any chosen location (and to compare up to 4 at a time).

    20.00 GMT is perfect for Europeans, but isn't it a bit early for Americans? Less a problem during weekends, but probably a no-go on working days.

    Anyway, count me in.

    I tend to get most of my playtime in on Sunday/Monday/Tuesday since those are my days off...of course, I'm up during the overnight shift in the US, so I generally don't start play until 2100 EST through 1100 EST at random points of the night ;)

    I'm PST, I usually can't play till around 8-9pm + when my mad daughter finally goes to sleep.

    Though if we set up a date and time I can nag the wife to deal with the beast...

    @Falconium - you should probably add a short table to the OP showing the different time zones.

    Great suggestion; I edited the OP to include this.

    I could also include a Poll for people to simply vote what times would be best for them. However, I think it might be better to wait for more responses, so we can see what times will be most popular among the majority of members. Thoughts, anyone?

    I'm sure we'll wait till after the holidays for a more formal drop and besides I'm sure it won't be the last.
