Simtropolis Chat Record Breaking Attempt

[kj3400 178]

Let's see... It would be 5 where I am, so I might pop in....It sounds fun!

It'll be a first for me too.....I've never been on ST chat.

If anyone needs help converting the timezones let me know...  when you live at the other end of the world you tend to know about what time it is everyhere else...

I've been in the chat almost every day for the past year or so, and I can tell you that on weekdays, we get far fewer people coming into the chatroom than on the weekend. It works out to an average of something like this:

Monday-Thursday

(Times in GMT-1)

6am - 3pm: maybe a max. of 5 people in the chat, most from Europe, Oceania, and Asia. It very very rarely goes above 10 people. Once in a blue moon.

3pm - 6pm: Europeans get home from work/school, so it jumps to about 10 chatters. Some Americans wake up on the East Coast.

6pm - 9pm: Can be anywhere from 10 to 15 chatters.

9pm - 12am: Most Americans get home from work/school, so we can get up to 20 people in the chat.

12am - 6am: Number of chatters spikes, and then gradually decreases down to maybe 10, as Americans go to bed. Gets steadily lower, till only two or three are in chat.

Weekend

(Times in GMT-1)

6am - 3pm: Europeans are home, so it can be 10 chatters or more.

3pm - 6pm: Americans wake up; so we can get up to 15 chatters and more.

6pm - 9pm: Often over 20 to 25 chatters now.

9pm - 12am: Generally doesn't go much higher than 30 chatters, as Europeans/Asian go to sleep.

12am - 6am: Number of chatters spikes at about 25, then gradually decreases as Americans go to sleep, though as its the weekend, the spike comes later on in the morning.

Therefore, I'd suggest you move the date to a weekend or to Friday. Right now, you're excluding all Europeans and Asians from participating. as it will be midnight to the early morning when it happens. Being a school/work day the next day means people wont want to stay up.

85? I thought the record was 30!

[earwax_man 18]

That would be 12 am in GMT wouldn't it? I don't think I could go on. Especially on a tuesday night (with school). Why not move it to Saturday and at 6 pm EST?

[purpledaddy 6]

I wonder if 84 people will be able to help me in finding my shoes!

[Duke87 1,070]

Well, if it moves to the weekend, I could now be there.

I suggest we push this up to Saturday the 24th, 3 PM EST (8 PM GMT). Then we allow all of the US and Europe during the day on the weekend without going too late (people can still have their Saturday night out if they want). Sound good?

[Theirishnintendonerd 13]

I agree with Duke , That time/date would be good for me because 12PM is just to late for me  lol

[tedhzeer 1]

count me in. i am always online in chat

[simmaster07 1,220]

The date has been moved. See if you will still be able to attend. Let me know by PMing me. Until then, this list is taking a break from updates and will be out to lunch, so please stand by or the bunny gets it!

<< It would be a real shame for something unfortunate to happen.

[blue sinjid 7]

Wow interesting thread here im definitely in!

[Duke87 1,070]

Friday, eh?

Okay, now it's possible for me to be there, but I'm not making any commitments.

You will get a "I'll be there if I remember and if I feel like it", though.

[Hahayoudied 3]

Awww, Duke, can't you please come and help us hit the ST record?

[Duke87 1,070]

The "if I fee like it" stands.

One thing you'll find about me is that I'm allergic to commitment. Last thing I want is to say I'm going to do something and then have the time come and find I'm not really in the mood at the moment.

I like to keep my options open.

[earwax_man 18]

If that's the set time, then I'll do it! This'll be so much fun!

[simmaster07 1,220]

Updating the list now.

[Boggy1 45]

I'll be most likely there, as I am constantly in chat. Don't count on me being actually at the keyboard during the time though.

[simmaster07 1,220]

I'll update the list. Oh, and with 70+ people there I think more authority should be in place.

[Haljackey 17,304]

I think I can make it for Friday, but I might be out of town. Count me in for now unless I post again saying to take me off.

[simmaster07 1,220]

Added.

No records are broken until I say they are broken.

Updating list now...

[packardcaribien 1]

I'd Like to join in, I always wanted to break a record.

So count me In!

[simmaster07 1,220]

Updating the list yet again. Guys, try to refer other members. At this point I'd be referring some staff members. Just saying. We don't want the "ub3r p4wn3rs" to come and leet-speak the chat room into flames.

[Deionn 137]

Deion wants to sign up.

[Zezug 6]

Count me in, should be home then.

[mrbisonm 1,620]

If I don't forget it (someone please give me a wake-up-call-p-message at around noon that day) I'll try to be there just for the fun of it.

Hmmm... Friday night, I'll have to wait and see. If I can, I will.
