1.sorry don't know how to spell
2.I know it is a American clan/community but i no there are many many people in Europe looking for something like this i was just asking to make the times European friendly. As most of them i see are like 5 am here witch is not amazing could you make them just a bit later so i and my friends can make them.
3. Please if you have anything bad to say pm me i always hate it when people try and be "cool" and find the faults unless you are going to mature and sensible about it.
4.If you want to mave it feel free i didn't know where to put it.
5.Ty 4 listing!

I would have to say it is because we are an American based organization. I am sure an eGo advisor or council member can clarify better.

couldn't u just change it by a hour it would be very very helpful.

Matz, I agree that many of the events are very off-putting for european gamers, myself being one. However, you have to consider that yes, it is an American based clan, but also the people who run the events too.
these people, such as DjSatan, his wife, and others all make events happen becasue they are free to spend an hour of their life logging on to make sure it runs smotthly, to map change, and are there for our benefit, which is a selfless and kind thing for them to do.

Now i'm not putting you down, as it's been asked before, and I've considerred why they are so late for us, but it's so for the above reasons.
However, I can recommend that you go to the Late-night fights that take place on Fridays. These are at either 6 or 7 AM for us, and on the weekend (saturday morning) so it's usually acceptable to wake up a little early and attend these.

i understand but isn't there any European people higher up higher up that could do this.

Not enough, no. Me myself being Dutch, I know how you feel. If there is a meeting I usually stay up really late or get up really early.
In the past there have been friendlier times, with two meetings on one day, but those weren't really succesful, I think. For meetings there are also recordings available.

I guess this is just a matter of adaptation, my young padawan

 

[Stalkout_002]

Not just that, even for American gamers the time could be difficult to attend. I live in Brazil which is in South America and the time here doesn't really make a difference between some of the east states in North America, so it would be a great idea to have events to be something like at 8 P.M. or 9.

I used to care about this, but I stopped after I realised that they aren't going to stay up until four in the morning so that we don't have to when we're in the minority. There was a bit of an announcement made a while ago saying they'd try to accommodate for those not in a US-y timezone if I remember correctly, but nothing really came out of that. If you're not in America this clan does not cater for your timezone with its events, except for things like clan meetings; it's as simple as that. If I wanted to do that stuff really badly I'd try and find a clan based in the UK (or whichever country/timezone is appropriate to you). I've not done that for two reasons - I like it here, and I'm not fantastically bothered about this stuff anyway.

This will be solved i think when we get alot more european members.

 

[Booster37]

Here is the issue:

Of course, for events to happen, there must be those who host them. The thing is that they try as much as they can to make the times available to as many people as possible. Unfortunately, this is normally the time when Europeans are in their beds. This also goes for meetings.

 

[gotrice]

Man I feel sorry for the European people, I hope someday this will change but it most likely won't )= I mean unless if we all lived in one time zone ^o^

 

[Bas.B]

lol, I don't think that's ever going to happen

 

[Matz]

ok fine i lose America wins

 

[RobInactive]

There's not alot they can do about it really, its already hard enough organising prime time for all 3 US timezones. Admittedly I've never attened a scrim in the year I've been here as a euro player, but i had made an effort for admin school to stay up. TBH unelss we get alot more european players there's not alot that will change it, and i doubt many european dedicated clans have as many european memebers alone as we do.

Perhaps if we recuit well, and be a good exmaple durning euro times we can eventually support a european scrim, my advice is to keep playing and try and rucruit as muich as possible (obviously don't spam but im sure you know what i mean) if you really want to really see our european playerbase fluorish.

Great strives have happened since I have joined the clan. Living in Ireland made it hard for me to attend scrims. When I fist joined the DoD division meetings were at 3am for me and scrims alike. But in the DoD division scrims were moved to an early staurday time for all to be able to make it. Tf2 late night scrimis good for euro's if they get up early you'll catch the late evening (early morning) group from the USA and play them in scrims. Events have been organised in certain divisions for the euro crowd. But it all boils down to there's more USA members than euro members so there is more support from the USA. Just remember that eGO is a worldwide clan so don't think its a USA based clan. We're all in this together no matter the timezone.
