Hey there again :FrankerZ:
Now that the Bingo system is finished and live it's time for Weekly Bingo Races!
We will alternate every week with the card category. So either it is an Adventure or a Mix card.
Also because our community is spread all over the world and the Timezones are a real issue
we will do every weekend 2 different races suited to different timezones.
-Informations-
Race 1 will start at: Saturday November 29th, 8 PM CEST
Race 2 will start at: Sunday November 30th, 2 AM CEST
Card type: Adventure Medium Card (Estimated time: ~2h30m)
We will race on SRL so make sure to have everything setup.
If you don't know how to do so check: https://www.iwannacommunity.com/forum/index.php?topic=915.0
Also make sure to inform yourself about the BINGO and how it works at https://www.iwannacommunity.com/forum/index.php?topic=1225.0
And don't forget to download the BINGO Game Pack BEFORE the race start so no-one has to wait for other
participants to download games.
Also something that might be helpful:
https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converted.html?iso=20141024T20&p1=48&p2=137&p3=179
This'll display any time in CEST along with that same time in PST and EST (or PDT and EDT cause it's daylight savings time... whatever)
If you want to check for other times just click the "make changes to the current search" link and you can change the time.
It would be cool if everyone who plans on joining could type something here in the thread so I know there is interest
in the community.
Peace :atkHappy:

I'd just like to point out that I think we should keep this race open to anyone who (for whatever reason) will race without SRL's timers. Involving the community without confusing the crap out of everyone setting up for SRL is what we should push for. But of course, getting as many people as possible in the actual SRL-hosted race is better.
-
That's why I announced the race 3 days before so everyone has enough time to sit down 10 minutes and get his shit right :atkHappy:
Also racing on SRL will benefit the community way more imo
-
Any chance of trying out different starting times in later weeks? I know time zones are a bitch, but midnight CEST is 3pm US Mountain Time and 2pm US Pacific time. There's basically no way for players in the western half of the US with real life obligations (school or work) to participate in this.
-
Even for Europeans, starting at midnight may be bad. Some people have stuff to do on Saturday and others don't want to screw with their sleep schedule. Especially because 2.5 hours is only an estimate and it may go much higher depending on the Bingo card for some.
I think there are enough players to warrant 2 different Bingo times for EU and US, obviously with some EU players playing on US times and vice versa.
Edit: I take it that you mean the midnight from Friday->Saturday and not Thursday->Friday because that would be silly.
-
Hmm, it's always hard to please anyone. I just see most people being around this time so I decided for this time.
And yea, its from Friday -> Saturday for Europeans.
If someone else has a better suggestion, feel free to post it here so we can think about better time(s) for next races.
Edit: a possibility would be to host one Race at 8 PM CEST and the other one at 1 AM CEST. That would be around 4 PM US timezone, depending on where you live, right?
-
Edited the times, please share your thoughts.
-
I'll join if I can on the 25th to get that last place
-
I'll attend the first race for certain, maybe the 2nd one too if I don't get too sleepy.
-
I'm really stupid so can someone tell me what timezone it is :S

CEST - Central European Standard Time (+01:00)

Ya know, this forum has a calendar on it, is it possible to add events like this to it? The forum is displaying my local time for me right now, so maybe it could handle all the time zone junk for us. Idk if that's possible, the calendar didn't let me do anything to it, but maybe that's just because I don't have the permissions.

sounds like a blast, will definetly join in for atleast the first one then we'll see if im not too tired for the second one.
Maybe if people like these times we could put them up on the bingo site?
-
Ok, I will join a hopefully not forfeit by mistake :atkCry:
btw, thanks pandy :atkHappy:
-
The race is open! You have 20-30 minutes time to join!
Let's do it!
-
The biggest problem with SRL for me is that my computer doesn't have tue ability to stream. I guess I won't participate in these :BibleThump:
-
Hey guys, check the Main post for the next Race date!
Because of Halloween and most of you probably already have something planned out, we delay the race by one day.
I hope there will be again as many people as before!

Check the times for the races for this weekend!
-
Also a short reminder:
If you didnt see the latest post, I've uploaded a "BINGO DLC" with the recent games which were added to the BINGO system,
so make sure to download it if you want to join the race tomorrow!

/push !
It's time for an Adventure again! :atkHappy:
If you intend to join one of the races, please leave a post here!
-
Can I join the race and instantly quit right afterwards if the bingo card is bad? :Kappa:
-
New race :denProgress:!
Please take in notice that the race will be hosted on Saturday. Also the second race will start one hour
later than usual in hope more people are able to join.
Also we will race again adventure because the races last week didn't start at all because of not enough
people.
I hope this weekend we will have more entrants :FrankerZ.
-
Just making sure 8PM CEST is 1PM Eastern right? I'm going to try and join in on this one.
-
To clear up some confusion: that used to be the case, but then daylight savings ruined everything. The times for the two bingo races are currently:
Saturday 20:00 CET / Saturday 14:00 EST
and
Sunday 02:00 CET / Saturday 20:00 EST
When in doubt, the CET time is the time we follow. The bingo page will also always have the upcoming races' times right on there, so you can check it.
Alternatively, you can input the CET time into a timezone converter to check for yourself:

Id love to join, sadly internet in the dorm is too unstable to stream..
Well, I guess I can just play along, then I will get all the race feeling.. It's not as if I would ever be a contestant for the first couple of places anyway.. :P
-
New race :denProgress: !
I would like to see again many participants :atkHappy:
I'm not sure if I can join this weekend because I have some stuff to do, but we'll see how it will work out.
In case I can't, someone else has to open the races
-
I'd be happy to set up the races for this weekend, just need to make sure I can create a race with my scrub-tier SRL account :Kappa:
-
It's time for a new adventure! :atkHappy:
Tomorrow it will happen :FrankerZ:

In before Row3 with RZM, Explorer, Six Elements, Baton Touch and Reduction :4Head:

How about a reverse Bingo for this week where everybody picks a row/column for another player? Aids factor would increase big time but it sure would cause some laugh and salt in Teamspeak.
