As discussed in the native forum, we are going to have a real time battle to decide the outcome of the current pirate assault of Raktam.
Time: GMT midnight, next Saturday. There has been some confusion about what this means. For me in Perth, Western Australia:
12:00:00 Midnight Sunday August 26, 2007 in GMT converts to
08:00:00 a.m. Sunday August 26, 2007 in Australia/Perth
For anyone in New York:
12:00:00 Midnight Sunday August 26, 2007 in GMT converts to
08:00:00 p.m. Saturday August 25, 2007 in America/New_York
For Armadox, who has specifically asked, assuming Florida is Central US and not Eastern US:
12:00:00 Midnight Sunday August 26, 2007 in GMT converts to
07:00:00 p.m. Saturday August 25, 2007 in US/Central
For anyone else go to
www.timezoneconverter.com Location: 20 paces west of Raktam
Terms:
a)No attacking anyone on field prior to the battle. Scouts will places signs around the battle field alerting passers-by to the forthcoming event.
b) there is an armistice between the groups between now and the battle to allow everyone to get into position.
c) any weapon goes, ganging up on individual players permitted, mercenaries form their own arrangements with each respective antagonist.
Prizes: the winner is the person with the most kills on field (kills are to be recorded on the Underworld)
1. 250 GCs collectable from the Durham branch of the Bank;
2. the honour of having the field west of Raktam (between Raktam and the mountain) named after them
3. the honour of having the battle named after them ("Battle of [insert name]'s Plain")
Record your participation here so we can check the Underworld to see who is the winner.
Any questions?
I might ask Simon to see if he will broadcast this to all players.
