2012 Chat Record Breaking Attempt Thread

[Cyclone Boom 17,016]

Ah this sounds interesting. Think it'll be quite a challenge to beat 90, but I'll be sure to attend (midnight here in the UK).

Looking forward to it, whatever happens it should be a good laugh!

[hotChocolate 95]

Finally one of these I can attend! Might only be present for a few minutes, but it'll be fun anyways.

[Haljackey 17,355]

Yup only one week away now. Crazy how time flies.

[Cockatoo 2,257]

Wow, I almost forgot about this. With a week to go, it's probably time to start ramping up the promotion if you want to attract a lot of people.

EDIT: For instance, your status update should read "One week left... until the chat record breaking attempt." You can't always expect people to know what you're talking about.

Might be a good idea to clarify every ones time zones so they know when to show up, just saying +1 might not make sense to everyone reading this thread.

[Cyclone Boom 17,016]

Time Zones and Countdown

To help everyone with the time zones, I've set up a countdown to the event:

Time Zones - Displays what time the event will be in your location.

Countdown - Displays the actual time until the event starts.

Feel free to share these links, and hopefully this will help clear any confusion.

Thank you Cockatoo and Larks for your suggestions and comments, and a special thanks to CycloneBoom for the helpful links. I'll post them in a status.

And to everyone, feel free to rev up the promotion engines to get the word out as Cockatoo said. The date of the event it coming up fast.

Many thanks,

- Evan

I just notice that the event will take place in 2 a.m. Athens time. I'll be in a party so I'll try to be there

I'll bring souvlakia with tzatziki and some retsina if you wish

[Terring 6,476]

Less than 11 hours left

[jacksunny 741]

I'm not going to be able to make it, sorry guys.

[The Avatar 1,089]

Sorry to hear you guys can't make it.

[Terring 6,476]

[pagenotfound 53]

^that looks freaking delicious. I'll be in chat but probably wont talk much cuz im getting SC4 ready to play again. Ive been away from SC4 for 2 years and i have A LOT of stuff to find. I may even completely reinstall it.

I'm in no need of cheering up; I'm excited for this.

That's ironic because Rob is usually the one causing the chaos.

Thanks for the Reddit post! I upvoted it.

[hotChocolate 95]

Well I'll see if I can make it. I'm actually starting to doubt it because I can't really see myself being there for more than a second into the scheduled hour.

[Halen Of Dania 350]

Well it's good to see some are gonna take part in the event, I hope to. We will have to wait and see. See you all there if I do decide to attend!

[A Nonny Moose 8,261]

If I am not doing anything else, I may look in. At the moment, I am fighting it out with a new edition of my Operating System (its a beta, and you know how they are). I just found a problem in GIMP 2.8 and I either have to fix it or plan to work around it.

Maybe see you all later on.

[The Avatar 1,089]

Nonny, Josh, Chocolate, I hope you all can make it.

[nathanthemayor 1,262]

I probably won't be there, since my computer gets reset tonight(Long story why), but good luck on breaking the old record!

[Terring 6,476]

Don't worry Luigi, I'll be there with some Greek goodies to eat

[Jack³ 291]

17 minutes in and only 26 members in chat.

[Sgt Pepper 864]

I could just pop in just for the sake of being there. But I don't have anything interesting to say unless ya'll would like me to divulge every possible random that that is conceived in my brain.

[aaaling 83]

I will still hold on!

[Haljackey 17,355]

It was a flop but fun. Max was 31... way below my prediction of ~50.

[A Nonny Moose 8,261]

Sorry, I got involved in something, and the time slipped by.
