I hate everything, but it's not my fault.

It's not Old English, the Old English for it would be fowertne (imagine there are lines over the e's). I am also atonished that a person would not know that, it isn't specifically British or anything like that...Sure it isn't used a whole lot anymore, but you should still know what it means. Ah well, such is life I guess. Here is the dictionary.com entry if anyone cares.

Going back to the original subject, I will not participate as I am going to cancel Live, because I almost never use it.

So after putting together all the ideas and problems I have come up with the following list. Once more ideas and problems are discovered I will edit this post.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Perhaps in order to get rid of the timezone problem we should hold the events on a firday. Considering most people stay up late since theres no school/work, the next day.

Bandwith might also be a problem if more people decide to go ahead with the idea. Maybe two rooms could be created. It could work, but then again it might be to confusing.

After the event someone who participated could create a summary and post it in the Septagon. That would be a way to advertise the event a little and get more people to join in.

The day before each event, Party Captains could be nominated and voted on by the community to host and schedule the event.

In order to keep the bandwith down all parties should be invite only and Bungie.net members should be the only ones accepted.

Connection problems seem to be the biggest issue so far. But nothing can be done until a game is played and we know how much lag will be included.

Well, yes. Obviously if there are lots of people who want to do this, then there will have to be more than one party and we need to make sure those parties were designated as specific rather than some throw away party someone made and got all their mates in.

Perhaps we could nominate "Party Captains". In other words the Bungie.net members that would like to go ahead with this could elect Captains, which are the ones who schedule and host the event.

The parties should all be invite only, which could help the Friends List issue.

So maybe the day before the event, a topic in the Septagon could be made announcing who the captain(s) will be and what time the event will take place, and how many members will be perticipating.

Sorry I can't elaborate on this more, but I must leave and go to school.

Yes.. the captain issue may be a problem we need to discuss, i guess a fair vote would be the best way if there were too many people wanting to host.

The other problem is lag, even if someone with a decent connection is hosting, lag will no doubt still be an issue. However, we can try it out then discuss how to over come that problem. Perhaps several more parties should be made, but we can discuss that at a later time.
