Excellent choices, Sir. I feel like I "know" 19 of the 24, and have at least heard of all but one of them.
And putting rachel and konrad in the same District was nothing short of genius. :)

I wouldn't take this too seriously. I nominated him (And I'm sure hadn't I done it, someone else would.), but it's not like he's getting any profitz™ from it or even has control over the whole thing, I just think this will be fun to watch. And I'm not a fan of his shitposts either, He's on my BL too because he literally asked me to do it, among with everyone else who supports gay rights, so why would I deny him this favor?

He has been elected democratically as our lord and savior.

Please, elbows, can't you do it on Sunday? It'll be Saturday evening for us Europeans here and it's a holiday day (we are celebrating witch's night and on top of that it's my birthday and I will be partying), so many people will not be able to witness this awesome event. I've been looking so much forward to it for a long time and now I'm already certain I will not be online to join in on the fun, and I noticed by reading through this thread that there are many people here posting the same/having other plans.

It's always going to be a bad day for someone. Problem with Sunday is that it's also the dice roll day. D: So would be chaotic.
But I will consider it, I will make a strawpoll, if 3/4 (or maybe half) of people want it Sunday. I guess I could move it.

On Saturday night, the moment that Sunday comes, we're celebrating the Resurrection day of Jesus Christ, so most people will not be available. And I'm saying this, not because I'm the religious type (which I'm NOT), but because it's a tradition to spend that night with your family and I suppose that the same thing happens in most Christian countries. I even cancelled my plans of going out that day, because I prefer to be with my family. :P I'm not complaining, but I'm just saying what eeev probably meant to say. :P So, on Saturday is Jesus Epitaph and on Sunday is the Resurrection.
Comment has been collapsed.
Ah. I did not know this.
I just got a text from friends wanting to hang out on Sunday as well... so idk if Sunday would even work for me.
So right now the plan can be to keep it on this Saturday or move it to next week.

I just saw it now (because I'm bored and just checking threads). I guess many people just didn't check the thread again after they voted for the tributes :x

Sunday's the holiday, but it's honored from Saturday evening. Time zones will be a problem for Russian users, though. I'm from Bulgaria and it won't be such a problem, but ruskies might not make it. It's Easter in orthodox countries, if someone wonders.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, obviously some people won't be able to join regardless cause timezone will be a problem somewhere.
I pick that time because it's good for U.S. and U.K. And those are like the biggest.

In a couple hours.
Idk. The results are 50/50 really. lol

Often timed the participants aren't even part of the event.
I'm sure a few still don't even know they are in it. xD
Comment has been collapsed.
but it's not the case of one or two or five countries. May 1st is national holiday / Orthodox Easter in over 100 countries worldwide. Sure - it's almost impossible to pick a day that no country nowhewre doesn't have some kind of holidays. But picking a day when a big chunk of countries worldwide have holidays may be a bad idea when you want people to attend. If you pick a day when 1/3rd of the world is celebrating something you're excluding 1/3rd of the community thus it's a good idea to post a poll about it in the mentioned community ;p
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, attend is not the same as participate.
HG is a slow-chat event where a select group of people post and reply so fast that it looks like a chatroom, and it's all over pretty fast. :P
I wonder how many of those addicts won't be here for it.
I'm from a part of the world where (inter)national holidays are just an excuse to not go to work/school and hang around on SG/Steam, so I have no idea how important Orthodox Easter is :/
It does look like labour day/may day is more important than Orthodox Easter. I'm only seeing a short list of countries that have it as a national day. Out of the 100 you mention only 20 countries have Orthodox as their main religion, in the rest it's a minority.

Even if you personally see it as an excuse to have a free day (I see them the same way) it doesn't change the two facts:
Sure, this event does not require attendance of community, but from elbows point of view, the more people attend his event the better. The more exposure etc. Keeping that in mind avoiding a date that will be one or other "skip-day" for big chunk of community is a good idea.

I'll answer whether or not a delay will happen in about 4 hours.
Comment has been collapsed.
Actually am curious.
Are there people who can make it this Saturday but can't next Saturday?
Comment has been collapsed.
Just leaving this here ~
I actually can be here tomorrow, I guess I'll just have to leave my guest alone for the time of the event. It just would be more convenient if it was next week.
Apparently most of the people voted for "no", so I guess it's up to you, really.
Comment has been collapsed.
I've decided to delay it for one week.
Mini FAQ for why the delay:
WHY?~
Two reasons, Main reason is it seemed many people can't make it next week for various reasons, one being it being a Holiday in the EU or something(Sorry I am uncultured. D:) I normally advertise the event a little more, which I didn't this time. I like when lots of people are there. :3 Also I'm not completely prepared gift wise, the week seemed to zoom right by. I guess that's moreso 3 reasons.
But less people voted for a delay...
That is true, but I stupidly didn't add a Doesn't matter option. So my thought is most people said no because they want the event sooner, bot because they able to not attend. (Although I'm just assuming this. I could be quite wrong.) I imagine sadly some were able to make it this Saturday and not next Saturday. And for this I am very sorry. :(
When is the new date?
99% sure it will be Saturday May 7th because Sunday May 8th is Mother's day so I imagine. There is a small chance the time will change for when the event starts, but I'd rather not confuse people, so it will probably be at the same time to not confuse people.
So... what now?
The thread will stay open for people to vote. And I will make some small daily giveaways in this thread to keep it goingz. (Hopefully can give away the Overwatch early access beta to someone.) Also it gives me time to inform people they are in SGHG3, because I imagine many have 0 idea that they are in.
I apologize again to all who wanted it on this Saturday. I will make giveaways to make up for it. <3
