I Am A Fish Posted October 20, 2020 Report Share Posted October 20, 2020 All right, This is simple. I want to see how many people (and other organisms) we can get on the Shard at once. Preferably beating the all-time high. I propose we try twice, first on November 17 or 18. Either the day of, or the day after Rhythm of War is released. Then, if the goal isn't reached, I propose we try to reach it on December 19, or Koloss head-munching day. From what I can tell, the largest portion of the shard is in Europe, and North America, making the time that seems to be the best around, 12:00 PM West coast time, and 10:00 PM Ukraine time, or 7:00 PM Greenwich time. Though the precise time can be changed. Who'd be interested? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jozomby Posted October 20, 2020 Report Share Posted October 20, 2020 (edited) Are you actively trying to take down the site? I don't know anything about what this site is running on, but as someone who builds websites for a living, my immediate reaction is "they're trying to DOS the site!" But kudos for planning this where the site maintainers can see it, that way they can plan for it. And just to be clear, this isn't an attack on you. It was just a funny reaction I had to this post - this doesn't really seem harmful. Edited October 20, 2020 by Jozomby 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chasmgoat Posted October 20, 2020 Report Share Posted October 20, 2020 I think that the enslaved gerbils that run this site will be released out of captivity if this site goes down I am in. FREEDOM FOR THE GERBILS! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mat Posted October 20, 2020 Report Share Posted October 20, 2020 You have no idea how many times I've contemplated this. Though I highly doubt we have 830 active members to begin with, so... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaos Posted October 20, 2020 Report Share Posted October 20, 2020 I am pretty sure that date and time is mostly a fluke, honestly. Nothing of import happened then. Maybe a lot of spambots came at that time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frustration Posted October 21, 2020 Report Share Posted October 21, 2020 Could we open the shard as guests on other devices or would that count as double accounting? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghanderflaffle Posted October 22, 2020 Report Share Posted October 22, 2020 I’m in! I believe I can get on at those times, at least in a separate tab. My history teacher is pretty relaxed, so I should be good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NameIess Posted October 23, 2020 Report Share Posted October 23, 2020 I think I can come. Unless my plans to finish RoW the day it comes out go awry. Just gotta hope it's delivered on the 16th. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebecca Posted October 23, 2020 Report Share Posted October 23, 2020 Yesss, I’m definitely in! That time and date works for me! Hopefully this actually works because that would seriously be awesome. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearer of all agonies Posted October 23, 2020 Report Share Posted October 23, 2020 If so one can finish RoW on the day it comes out. . . Then wow. I mean, if you have been reading the preview chapters then maybe it’s possible. I haven’t been reading them though. I know I’m missing out, but I don’t want to spoil it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chanarach Posted October 23, 2020 Report Share Posted October 23, 2020 During Brandon's release party seems like a good time. Think its at 8pm on the 17th. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
