If your going to make a war do it on a saturday so its sunday morning. and vice versa for early aussie times. At the end of the day you should all just move to britain +) --------------------     | ||||||||

| IRC Nickname: [Randy] Group: Raid Leader Posts: 5065 Member No.: 16 Joined: December 29, 2007 Total Events Attended: 499 | Do you really think dedication is nothing more than waking up early? Please, as if people (especially the younger members) have nothing to do at 7am on a Monday... And with what Joe said, it's pretty insulting. Being all "the Aussies are revolting against the Americans!!11!!!" is the kinda shit that tears the clan apart (and it wouldn't be the first time, huh?).... Stop playing the blame game. --------------------   | ||||||||

They have been doing it for us so now its our turn. But you shouldn't skipp school, a jobb or anything else for a important raid, war etc. Thats my opinion. -------------------- You don't have to feel like a waste of space You're original, cannot be replaced If you only knew what the future holds After a hurricane comes a rainbow Maybe you're reason why all the doors are closed So you can open one that leads you to the perfect road  | ||||||||

 IRC Nickname: Dnovelta Group: Emeritus Posts: 2750 Member No.: 130 Joined: January 20, 2008 Total Events Attended: 137 | Well, I've been on both sides of this argument having lived in Manila for my final year and being in the Aussie timezone. I feel the pain of the Aussies because it is a little insulting to put in that effort and then when it's at a time where you don't have to stress nobody else shows you their gratitude. On the flip side, you have to understand that 7:00 AM is roughly the time people are waking up for school. School generally starts at 8 AM, so you wake up at 7:00 AM to shower, get dressed and eat breakfast at a comfortable pace. I'm inclined to agree with Joe simply because this could have been avoided. Had this been planned earlier the MLK weekend could have been used to allow the Americans to wake up at that early hour with no repercussions. You also have to realize that this isn't the exact same thing as a war or a raid. Wars or raids happen often enough that if people don't show it's not like we end up below double digits. But you're picking a Monday morning at 7AM when people have school for one of our most important events of the year... I mean realistically now, if every Aussie didn't show up to 4 or 7AM events we'd lose a handful of numbers, but the Americans make up the bulk of the memberlist. I'm talking strictly numbers here. And look at it this way, if you have school at 7AM on Monday morning and instead of getting ready for school you're playing RS for WG, it's not JUST dedication you have, it's also a small problem. --------------------   | ||||||||

It's childish and un needed. I'm sorry Gene but most EST and the like have school at 6 or 7 am and not many of us feel like getting on RS that early on a weekday, it just can not be done. I for one have to get up at 6AM and have to be in class by 8am with a 1 hour bus ride, meaning I can't attend seeing as all my time is spent getting ready which when I'm done it's 6:45am and I have to leave. I'm sorry about the way you feel but don't plan important events on weekdays that early. If it were around an agreeable time then yes, we would make it. -------------------- Taken❒ Single❒ Mad✔ <+Mark``> i think the brothers GF is going into labour <+Mark``> I WANNA WATCH YU-GI-OH   | ||||||||

 IRC Nickname: megajayson Group: Elite Guardian Posts: 9246 Member No.: 423 Joined: April 4, 2008 Total Events Attended: 216 | This is getting off track. Obviously Eugene isn't saying you should all skip school to come to events. What he is saying is there are people who wouldn't wake up early, just interrupting their sleep, to come to an important event. Eugene has always been a person to say RL comes first. If he really did expect everyone to come to wars so often, we would be pulling 90% of our memberlist, but our memberlist would be alot smaller. So you all need to calm down and take a breath and don't get all shitty over a post. --------------------  This is ten percent luck, twenty percent skill Fifteen percent concentrated power of will Five percent pleasure, fifty percent pain And a hundred percent reason to remember the name! 7th Highest Overall for Wars Attended. | ||||||||

That's true but I don't think most members would interrupt their school lives or work by not getting a full nights rest to attend an event. It's not a matter of dedication, it's a matter of doing good in life. -------------------- Taken❒ Single❒ Mad✔ <+Mark``> i think the brothers GF is going into labour <+Mark``> I WANNA WATCH YU-GI-OH | ||||||||

 IRC Nickname: Hamfield3 Group: Ex-Member Posts: 224 Member No.: 2184 Joined: December 10, 2009 Total Events Attended: 79 | Trying to figure out of this topic was intended as a compliment for the aussies... or a rant against the americans, but anyway.. I just looked at the sign ups for this event.. how many people that said yes did not show up? It's obvious from the sign ups that this event probably should of been rescheduled before the event was supposed to take place.. and considering most of the reasons had to do with school.. the plan for rescheduling is as simple as picking a day when there is no school. So what I'm saying is... The sign ups warned of low attendance, which is the entire reason for having sign ups in the first place I believe.. So that you can see if the event time works... this time obviously didn't work. --------------------   | ||||||||

 IRC Nickname: rachellove Group: Council Posts: 6955 Member No.: 173 Joined: January 31, 2008 Total Events Attended: 305 | I'm up at 5 am almost everyday, even on weekends. I come on and do WG stuff with my coffee usually. I am off and on cause I have so much going on here during the 6 to 8 am with helping cook or do whatever. That just happens to usually be a rough time for me. But to put nation against nation is just wrong. Gene you founded WG to be a world-wide clan and know the difficulty that sometimes that can bring with events. Venting your anger is fine. --------------------  Thank you Garrett and Dallar. “The day soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped leading them.

You have to understand that American school system is much different. I wake up at 5:30am to get ready everyday and I'm in school by 7am. Also the fact that almost every Aussie in this clan i can think of is well passed the 18yo age, it's called college. You set your classes for like 9am or shit. We can't just skip school fella, don't see why your upset. If it was 7am on a Saturday or Sunday, you'd definitely see 10+ EST kids there. But on a Monday morning where we have school, absolutely not. This post was unnecessary. -------------------- The First, The Last, and the Only ~FLO Never say never, because limits, like fears, are often just an illusion. ~Michael Jordan      | ||||||||

Are you kidding me? If it were 4am EST it would make much more sense, but noooo you wanted a better timezone for Europeans so you fuck over Americans. This isn't about sleep Eugene. You're conflicting with our day. Our life. I'm out of the damn house by 6am. You are way over your head with this one. I understand that you are angry, thought I don't see why. It would have been best if you kept it to yourself.

Bullshit, you skip virtually every early morning war. I can't remember how many times you've apologized/made excuses for why you missed the war or why you won't be there. Don't pretend like you actually do something when you don't. Along with that, don't expect anyone else to do it either. @Zooby, who said we want you at wars anyway?  Well done on being the first rookie to ever die at the Veteran War.  @Aussies/timezone, I would never expect anyone to get up at 6 AM for a war on a school day. If you want that's fine if you don't that's fine to. What I would NOT do though is make a topic called American Uprising and bash a group of people because I made a mistake and am pissed off about it. -------------------- July 5, 2007 - June 27, 2011 | ||||||||
