Why Saturday? Saturday is one of those days where I can't play. And trust me, I'm one of the community's c-mode MVPs.

I don't know what MVP is but Zael is a great asset to a team in C-Mode and an awesome player, I say.

Ep1 C-Mode has bored me for the moment, and I don't really need any more S-Ranks. Just have to get Ep2 C-Mode for uber fun.

Good luck with your event though, Ruby.

Why not do a pair of parties during that weekend? give people two chances to do so. I can't play at that time either due to work.That way people like Zael and myself can partake and people who hit problems during the saturday party have a second chance

[Lil' Zael]

I'm only available on weekdays.

[Chiyo_chan]

MVP = Most Valuable Player I think -__-
And I can't play that much on weekends too, too bad, that seemed to be a great idea you got here.

[jaden_korr]

well just modify and make a mid-week day the second one of the party. BB is the first I've played pso,so I'm looking forward to trying challenge mode

[Starfurre]

once again, when i work...

[jaden_korr]

And as I said,what I'm proposign is two days of it. One on the satuday and the other a weekday evening.That way most people can at least make one of them,but I'm only spouting an idea

[Leif912]

aw man you beat me to posting this Ruby! >_>

[Charlie C-Mode]

These things always start prohibitively late for Europeans. It's a Saturday - why can't it start earlier in the afternoon?

[FIH]

Sweet, now I can get a C-9 team!

[Lil' Zael]

Saturday still sucks imo.

[chopsticks]

i may be available that day and time

hopefully i can make it since i'd like to finish c-mode at least once and try to get s-ranks while i'm at it

i think it's a great idea for people new to pso like me

[ddrasifo]

great idea ruby, im there! :D

[TemPLaR]

thot this was a team thing at first... oh well, the more the merrier!

c1 through c9, WHOS WITH ME?

[Zolmer]

sounds like fun

[E-102-Gamma]

Sure I'm in if I'm available. How does this work now? We all get together and sort ourselves into parties and the play all the way to S-Rank in one sitting?

[Magus_Zeal]

I think this is a great Idea.... I'll be up for some C-mode runs ^_^

[Ryude]

I sure hope this turns out great, I'll be there!

[Kuraigu]

Any know what time that would be in gmt I'm on c3 with my fonewearl and looking to finish up to c9

[Momonpso]

I believe that would be 11PM GMT.

[Shocker]

Saturday is one of the two nights that I'm gone. >_<

One day I'll get an S-Rank...one day...

[lewax00]

Sweet, now I can get a C-9 team!I know a few ppl (including myself) at C9 >.> I reeeaaaly want my s-rank ;_; so I'll be there too I hope ^-^

[Hir0]

i hope i can come

[Magus_Zeal]

Hey What happened,

Did it only last an hour or something? I got to Rhea 1-1 just now (which i think is about 7:15pm EST) and there wasn't a single Cmode game being played!

[Yu-ri-ne]

Some c-mode is going, but no one's there to make complete teams

[Ironfox]

well im there sitting in a stage 7 game

[Josh]

theres a few here in Rhea 5-1

[Sebastian]

there needs to be another c-mode partay ;-;

[Ironfox]

every1 get there butts to rhea-5 c-mode!!!!!!!!!

[Sebastian]

lawl, i cant even play this weekend T-T which is why we need another c mode party!

[RubyEclipse]

Hi everyone. Time for a quick wrap-up on tonights event.

Overall, the turnout was much better than we expected. For once, members from ReVo, Legendary, and many other teams were able to join up and work together to aim for those s-ranks. Some bonds of friendship were forged, and I think those will help destroy the generalizations that some people seem to have about other teams - for those who attended, at least.

Most of the events took place on Rhea 5 by the time I got on. Seeing 7 C-mode games going on at once (Plus others in the lobby) was awesome - it's proof that you guys are dedicated and, if nothing else, you want those S-ranks! :P

Special Thanks: First and foremost, a huge thank you to Cortana the FOmarl for setting the event up in the first place. Without you, this never would have happened. :) Second, a thank you to all of the posters here who encouraged the event! Thanks for keeping it bumped and for posting your support! And finally, a thank you to everyone who showed up and joined us for c-mode! The event would never have gotten off the ground if we didn't have anyone there to help out. :)

So, what feedback does everyone have now? Should we change the dates / times for future c-mode parties? Host some on weekends and some on weekdays, pick a different ship, block, etc? Let us know what you liked and what you'd like to see changed, and hopefully our next Challenge mode party will grow to become even bigger.

Thanks a ton guys for a great success - you all made it happen. :)

[Yu-ri-ne]

IMO, we should set up days, at least two or three times a week, rotating times and days, where people can just drop their hunts and leveling and go do c-mode. These parties are too few and far in between with too many people, with variable availabilities, as was mentioned in this thread. Also, with each *decent* level times of about 45 minutes, very few people, if any, can do a full c1-c9 run in one day, much less a third of that, especially if it all starts at 6:00 pm -5 GMT (11pm GMT) since so few people are around to make complete teams.

I propose that we put the c-moding event every Saturday starting at 5:00 pm GMT so the players from the Americas and Europe can all optimally get together (sorry Asia), so more games can happen, and so the event lasts longer throughout the day. I saw the games starting to peter out after about 8:00pm EST and the most number of games I saw going on were about five, with only three or four in progress with other games constantly needing players, but getting no assistance because so few are actually there. We should also have two separate times during the weekday (evening/nights for each region's respective time zone) for those who can't make the weekends.

If possible, we should also create a database of general availibilities and current availabilities, but this would be beyond the capabilites of this forum, I'm afraid

[Ironfox]

well this is a great idea^^ Y dont we make it a friday saturday sunday or something like that giving ppl more of chance for thouse of us who work^^

[Sebastian]

imo rhea 5 should just be the c-mode ship-block just like hyp 2 was to Maximum attack 2.

what would GMT 5 pm be in GMT-6?

[Momonpso]

11am

[Techno]

ARGH i didnt know it was rhiea 5 i thought it was rhiea 1 i REALLY want to get my s-rank but i cant ever find any servers i thought i was finally gonna be able to :evil: :evil: :evil: :x :x :x :x :evil: :evil: :evil:

[chopsticks]

GREAT PARTY!!!!!

THIS SHOULD HAPPEN EVERY WEEKEND :D:D:D:D

[Sebastian]

GREAT PARTY!!!!!

THIS SHOULD HAPPEN EVERY WEEKEND :D:D:D:D

its should happen 24/7 :l for anyone who wants to do c-mode should just gather in rhea 5...

and how long would it go on? because at 11 am id be in school....... unless its on a weekend *wink wink* *nudge nudge* tsk.. tsk..

[Chiyo_chan]

That was great even if I played with the same people as usual except Iris/chopsticks :p There were pretty good runs too.
I agree there should be more of these events, a cmode block wouldn't be bad but unfortunately the community just isn't big enough, when cmode was just released there had been a cmode block but there were really no one in :(
Anyway, definitely a good initiative from Jem, I support this.

[Charlie C-Mode]

There is no reason for it to start so late - if people can't make it til 6 that's fine, but 6 is midnight or later for europeans which is really sucky for us. I second 11am.

[Lil' Zael]

I say not on weekends.

[Ironfox]

well the i may be throwing one on the week days soon
seeing what the team thinks
