The Bal'met event

Iocun

Finally one part of the event I (probably) can be here for. Cheers for changing the time from the previous episodes for a more even timezone distribution. Sorry for you azns though.

Kaden

@Iocun

Pfft, at first I thought it was 4pm at my timezone and I was all "Crap, I don't think I can make it!"

Then I realized it was at 4am and I went "YES!" <_<

Tvistor

Hey, I did not know Kaden was from around these parts.

Sherazad

4am now that I have fixed my sleeping patterns.

I can't guarantee I've got this right, but it appears to be:

  Saturday, 22 December, 12 mid-day in San Francisco and other PST

  Saturday, 22 December, 8 PM in UTC (London and such)

Of course, for me it's a Sunday at 6:30 AM. There goes my beauty sleep; still I'm chuffed I should be able to make it!

No no, it's this coming Saturday, the 15th. 

Bleh! That's 04:00 for me, and I have morning service 04:30 til 06:30. I don't think i can make it.

That's two hours before I'm scheduled to be off work on Saturday... But since I've picked up way too many extra hours due to people calling out with the flu, I think that would be a good time for me to start feeling ill...

Ellodin

lmao @ all the asians commenting on the event being early in the morning, for better or for worse.

I NEED TO SLEEP

@Sarapis I need a good reason to leave my niece's first birthday :O I don't think 'it's ok, people turn 1 every year' is going to cut it >.>

No you don't. and neither will I. It's a Sunday and I can sleep in all the way to Monday after event adrenaline wears off. Resignation tendered at the right date. Thumbs up for me!

BTW, money on Sapience wide Icon take down. You don't get more participation than that. OR CAN YOU?! >_>

Isn't that anti-participation?

Skye

@Arlanda Haha. No. They wouldn't want that. How else would I pay for my membership >_>

Avto

It's midnight for me. Perfect!

Tahquil

I will remember to get enough IG alcohol so Mathonwy and I can sit somewhere and wait out the end of the world... again.

Asmodron

The loud skitter and squealing of thousands of rats fills the air, as the tiny creatures flee Mhaldor in droves.


Oh NOW they stop popping up constantly in rooms.

Trey

Since I'm just up, this is confusing as hell. What does that work out to for start time in EST?

Synbios

After re-reading the events post, I keep seeing how Bal'met was all cool-like even when Sartan confronted him with the treachery. And when I saw this sentence:

"For only moments later, the resounding voice of Aeon, Lord of Time came ringing: "Sartan... you fool. That was the worst place you could have chosen to banish Bal'met. Nishnatoba is more closely tied to the Fire behind the Flame than even the Prime Material... pray you have not doomed us all."

...plus killing Keresis as well, I imagined Bal'met as having this face:

THE ONE WEEKEND I AM AWAY. I AM SO ANGRY. ((((((( I can't even cancel plans or anything because I'm in a completely different state!

Am super jealous of all of you who will be here, I'm sure it will be epic. Have fun for me, and there better be logs!

Anaidiana

I assume that last time you expected something like this, just without the crying?

SUDDENLY, TWILIGHT. He hasn't appeared yet, wonder if he will.

He is one of the only 3 of the Pantheon that has not been seen yet, I hope so!


Is more than 3, depends on how you count though

Wysteria

@Thaumas: I loved that movie. Excellent directing and art style, but a 12min intro was quite over the top. Eh.

Veldrin

We haven't seen Neraeos, Oneiros, Twilight and Prospero yet have we?

Aerek

I'll be honest, considering some of the active, beloved Gods they didn't hesitate to kill off, I'm shocked that Prospero and Oneiros still exist.

Subj: The Finale

You will want to be here this coming Saturday at noon Pacific / 8 pm

GMT. Seriously. Be here. It's the finale of the current mega-event and

it's participatory. It will be the most epic thing you've ever

experienced in Achaea. Not joking.

 

Penned by My hand on the 5th of Ero, in the year 613 AF.

The Countdown!

Tirac

I keep imagining Bal'met as the shrike from Hyperion. Loving the event, it's the most epic admin driven event I've seen in achaea. Bought my appreciation credits.

Trilliana

@Veldrin we've seen Oneiros -around- but I don't think He's taken part in the event.

Rheve

I'm going to need some serious caffiene after working the graveyard shift Friday night and then another one on Saturday night. It starts on Saturday at 2PM for me. If Achaea ships my caffiene fix now, it will be here in time for the finale. I enjoy iced mocha coffee, please.
