Ring 8 roll

[Tapped]

There was a bit of a controversy at the ring 8 roll tonight, and it seems a thread is needed to solidify and discuss the current time, and how it came to be.

Current roll time as I understand it: 9:30PM CST / 10:30PM EST
This is open for discussion; see below.

Now, as for how this time game to be,
The most recent quake occurred at 8:35PM CST. Knowing this, a group began to gather at the roll spot over an hour before the time of the quake the following day. At approximately 7:40PM CST, with 10-11 players present, and representing most major guilds, a brief discussion was had for when the do the roll. With no objections, it was tentatively set for 8PM CST.

[Mon Mar 04 19:39:22 2019] Jigawatt says, '9:00 est roll?'
[Mon Mar 04 19:39:34 2019] Maketails says, 'yea sure'
[Mon Mar 04 19:39:38 2019] Striider says, 'sure'
[Mon Mar 04 19:39:40 2019] Sssin says, 'sounds good'
[Mon Mar 04 19:39:45 2019] You say, 'Agreed.'
[Mon Mar 04 19:40:22 2019] Maidanez says, 'and if we find out it spawns much later we can adjust fire tomorrow'

The following day, we learn from the previous winner that pop did not occur for over two hours (10:05PM CST) and with 10-12 players present, another discussion was had about bumping back the time to something a bit more rational.

[Tue Mar 05 19:39:58 2019] Uaaeb says, 'anyone remember the name of the winner yesterday?'
[Tue Mar 05 19:40:25 2019] Maidanez says, 'jfontanez I think is how its spelled'
[Tue Mar 05 19:40:30 2019] You say, 'Not online atm. Jfontanez'
[Tue Mar 05 19:42:11 2019] You say, 'Looks like he's on Discord, though. Will inquire...'
[Tue Mar 05 19:44:33 2019] You say, 'Says pop was 10:05 PM CST, so 2h 20m'
[Tue Mar 05 19:48:18 2019] Uaaeb says, 'sorry was killing a mammoth - did we find out a time the pop happened'
[Tue Mar 05 19:48:39 2019] You say, '10:05 PM CST'
[Tue Mar 05 19:49:54 2019] You say, 'Initial thoughts? Roll 30 out? Maybe round down and call it 9:30 PM CST?'
[Tue Mar 05 19:54:59 2019] Uaaeb says, '930 CST seems fine '
[Tue Mar 05 19:55:05 2019] Gorrbash says, 'I wonder why the spawn was so far off of quack?'
[Tue Mar 05 19:55:11 2019] Gorrbash says, 'quake'
[Tue Mar 05 19:55:18 2019] Uaaeb says, 'earthquake took 2 hours for people to do the quest'
[Tue Mar 05 19:55:29 2019] Jigawatt says, 'still rolling at 9est?'
[Tue Mar 05 19:55:36 2019] Uaaeb says, 'no'
[Tue Mar 05 19:55:41 2019] Jigawatt says, 'or waiting till 11 est?'
[Tue Mar 05 19:55:53 2019] Uaaeb says, 'we were talkinga bout 930CST'
[Tue Mar 05 19:55:58 2019] You say, 'Being discussed. Last winner reports pop was 2hr later.'
[Tue Mar 05 19:56:01 2019] Seesor says, 'roll should still be at 9:00est'
[Tue Mar 05 19:56:03 2019] Jigawatt says, 'trigger pops at 11:06ish'
[Tue Mar 05 19:56:21 2019] Uaaeb says, 'we dont need a 2 hour window on the roll lol'
[Tue Mar 05 19:58:07 2019] Jigawatt says, '3 min to decide'
[Tue Mar 05 19:58:30 2019] Jigawatt says, 'im fine with 10:30 est'
[Tue Mar 05 19:59:00 2019] Uaaeb says, 'just to clarify the pop was 1106 EST right? got 2 different time zones people are talking in'
[Tue Mar 05 19:59:17 2019] You say, '10:30 PM EST seems reasonable enough to me.'
[Tue Mar 05 19:59:23 2019] Uaaeb says, 'kk'
[Tue Mar 05 19:59:31 2019] You say, 'Correct, 11:05 EST, 10:05 CST'
[Tue Mar 05 19:59:38 2019] Stabify says, 'so ring roll gonna be at 1030EST then?'
[Tue Mar 05 19:59:38 2019] Kharyzzar says, 'also down with 10:30 est fwiw'
[Tue Mar 05 19:59:54 2019] Stabzer says, '10:30est works for me'
[Tue Mar 05 19:59:57 2019] You say, 'Anyone oppose?'
[Tue Mar 05 20:00:02 2019] Jigawatt says, '9:30 cst / 1030 est'
[Tue Mar 05 20:00:24 2019] Seesor says, '9:30 cst / 10:30 est then'
[Tue Mar 05 20:00:32 2019] Stabify says, 'ok see you guys then'
[Tue Mar 05 20:00:34 2019] Uaaeb says, '1030 EST talk to yall soon [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]'
[Tue Mar 05 20:00:52 2019] Gorrbash says, '10:30 sounds good, now everyone go ahead and log out =))'
[Tue Mar 05 20:01:26 2019] Kharyzzar says, 'cool beans'

This evening, though, as everyone began to log in ahead of the 9:30PM CST roll, another player had claimed they already won a roll that occurred back at the 8PM CST time. Another player showed up closer to the actual roll time, suggesting he had also taken part in the 8PM CST roll.

I was present for the first, second, and forth roll post-quake. The two players at the 8PM CST roll were not present for either of the two initial post-quake rolls, so it's easy to see where the confusion is coming from, so let's just open this up for discussion...



What time would y'all prefer the roll to be?

• 8PM CST, as originally decided on the first post-quake roll.
• or 9:30PM CST, as decided after learning that the actual pop is not until at least 10:05PM CST?

Makes no difference to me. Hell, pick 8PM and I can go to sleep a little earlier!
