Please vote for every option where you are willing to attend. You may cast up to 180 votes. If available at all times vote for all the options. You may change your votes if desired.

The sooner the better, but we intend to run weekly tests if possible so indicate all the best times for you.

Thanks,
Bonk

I'll try to get on one of those on a day off when my children cooperate...

As I can't guess when that will be right now, I didn't vote...

Looking at the times offered, practically none. Can't you offer a morning slot, like 6-8 AM CST? Then, I can drag the rest of the 1AF, kicking and screaming, to the dance.

I am wondering if the need for testing server kits might suggest the need for some sort of dedicated interface for scheduling these things wherein people can register their availability and determinations of when to run the server tests can be made from that information. I know there is already a group of dedicated dynaverse beta testers if I remember correctly who I am sure work closely together, but when you add more people into the mix scheduling a mass of people becomes complicated, hence the need for some tool to assist in this.

Posted times where I was likely available, hard to say in advance but those were to the best of my knowledge.

I'm hoping your not depending on my presence for all of these but rather conducting a survey to schedule a few times where the likely participation would be greatest.

That is exactly what I'm up to...

Bonk just one question, how long will you keep the server up?

just wondering

Capt Jeff · « **Reply #7 on:** February 13, 2006, 09:18:12 am »

All times offered are either when I'm getting up for work, or at work with the exception of the 10Pm Fri-12am Sat, which is my one night off a week. If it happens then, I'll be there

Bonk just one question, how long will you keep the server up?

Only about an hour or two for each test if I can get 20 players on, less if we generate the error I'm looking for. If not many show up I may leave it up longer, but there is not really much point in that as I know the serverkit is stable on MySQL under low load as both The Forge and the UAW server stay up for days at a time (as well as past SQL servers I have run), it is under higher layer loads (<20 players) that problems appear, but I suspect perhaps that player forfeits while the server is under load may be the problem...

Ambiguous enough of an answer for ya?

An hour or two for each test ought to ba ample time to test te PvP DV shift code as well (which is also present on The Forge server for testing and feedback)

Yes, same issue as Father Ted, I was afraid of this. I couldn't quite bring myself to put up options for 24 hour scheduling, (once every 2 hours around the clock, 12 options per day for a 180 option poll at this point, also concerned that would simply spread out the options too much and I would not get any idea of when would be a good time, but I'll look at a making up a 24 hour schedule to see what I get, its just a pain to make up a poll with so many options, and I have to consider my own convenience as well...

I may have to consider a simpler approach.

Thats a maybe.

Since I am off tomorrow I will be on tonight depending how fast I can get my butt home.

And how long the call maybe if I get one that long. (work at a call center).

Bonk · « **Reply #11 on:** February 13, 2006, 04:30:10 pm »

Poll reset and adjusted to a 24 hour schedule with options for every 2 hours. (and no I won't go down to hourly options

, that would be a 360 option poll!

) God bless the Excel TEXT and CONCATENATE worksheet functions...

Please recast your votes for your preferred times to attend a test.

Bump for more votes.

Voted, although I can't seem to get OP to work with the new router I have, hence my absence from KCW.

3dot14 · « **Reply #14 on:** February 19, 2006, 12:01:47 pm »

Voted.

Thanks guys, so far it looks like 8PM EST Sundays is the most popular time to hold the tests, keep the votes coming to help schedule the weeekly tests for the rest of this month. I'll put up a new poll/schedule for next month soon.
