That's how I deployed as a Con anyways.

I'm also likely to go all Leroy Jenkins against a hoard of Cons just for the challenge but that may change as the novelty of having a hoard to fight wears off

Maybe in addition to this (or as a part of this or in the War Room thread) we can all just try to make a point of posting when we show up to play (and again of possible when done) so others know who's around to help out.

Admittedly they may be too much to ask given the realities of posting here but it's something the RDD use rather effectively, though via FB messenger. Knowing who is around & having a quick way to call for back up is part of their edge.

I deploy that same way, give or take the few 0on7 hell missions. Getting outnumbered and stasis locked in less than 30 seconds really sucks after a while. :BANG_HEAD:

I like your idea about the war room. I think posting in there for the non-facebook user would be a good idea. The fb messenger has been a bit quite of late, alot of people have real life stuff going on.

Glad to have you aboard!

This is a start to getting some idea of when you'll have support.
I'm up to do my part

I'm EST, generally play most Monday-Friday between 7AM & 3PM.
I'll pop in occasionally other times but that's my most consistent play time.

Also, I don't generally screw around waiting for safe missions. I just activate and deploy. I will always prioritize supporting some already deployed (especially of they're outnumbered or outclassed) but if it's down to only a couple minutes & it looks like you're gonna have a pretty even match I'll go elsewhere if I can.

Just 2 cents from the newb

Yep. Shoot me a reminder in a couple of days (once people have had a time to weigh in on the Campaign for Cybertron and the hype from NYCC dies down)

Sweet. Will do.

I am in Missouri so US Central/Chicago time. My play time varies quite a bit. If I am at work, usually 3pm, 5pm, and maybe somewhere around 7:30-8:30 PM. These are my break and lunch times. I also have a tendency to deploy before i leave for work unless i have things going on. If i am not doing anything on days off, i am on quite a bit. My days off float quite a bit though. The one day which is most infrequent is Sunday.

Great minds think on the same lines. Had on of those missions myself today here.

I'm in the UK, running on GMT (Greenwich Mean Time). I'm usually on at various times throughout the day Mon- Fri, but am a bit hit and miss on weekends.

I know we have limited support in missions. I hope this thread can serve as a reference for us in becoming a little bit more organized. That way people can see when other people are on and playing. So missions like this can be prevented. I know we all have real life obligations, but if you could post when you typically play that way it can help others to know they might see some support.

I'll kick it off, I am located in the US, FL, Eastern Standard Time, I play Monday through Fridays daily. Weekends I am hit and miss due to family obligations.

I'll update my post to reflect other players information here for quick access.

Players:
Prime007: EST, Mon-Fri daily
ThunderThruster: GMT, Mon-Fri daily
sumowrestler: CT, Mon-Fri 3-8pm sporadically
Bun-Bun: EST, Mon-Fri daily

One final thought, could a bulletin be posted eventually in the Autobot Council Bulletin linking this thread for others to see?
