Alrighty then

I think Ax, and probably someone else are planning on doing a sort of mirror of the West version. I, however, want to do a ladder season 3 practice run, with builds as powerful and synergetic with each other as we can make them, for maximum speed and efficiency, and hopefully without too much requirement on the equipment. Outside MFing and leveling will not only be allowed, but encouraged for anyone who can handle it. The goal here is not a leisurely, fun time (although fun should be a part of it), but to hit a high level FAST. It seems this may not work, though since I can't seem to get more than two or three people interested. We shouldn't be limited to eight people here, either.
I'll need a bit more time to throw in this option and get responses, but we can split the groups thusly:
One group full of power levelers - when people who normally want to play new builds and the old way (playing to A2N then making public games with level restrictions to keep out bots) or rushing just doesn't suffice would have long sessions every night, probably up to or exceeding four hours seven days a week. If you think about it, when someone misses a night they'll likely have to play the old way anyway, except not in a public is all, so not much difference.
The other group full of play-for-fun types who meet three or four times a week, likely for two hours at most.
It's clear that the power-leveling group would not only be more prepared for LS3 but also get their cooperation skills and techniques finely tuned along with a lot of builds for different purposes. Also, they're most likely the ones that will do the two-hour constant hellforge rushing for as many GULs as possible in order to cube that LO, SUR, BER or JAH. Eight accounts, eight mules per account, 64 runes from EL-AMN, 64 more from SOL-UM and 64 KO-GUL.
Seems that's the group Dave will be in as he wants his bonejangler ASAP, and since Jester - assuming he's approved - has no characters as of yet he'd probably join that group, too, to get his first. This means I'll be in it but Wathombe won't. =/ So, this probably means the late group, 1-3AM EST (10-12 PST) would be this one so Wathombe can participate when desired.
Well, everyone chime in on this, as well, and let me know. 8-12 EaST for power (plus one hour on each side at most, for 4-6 hours total, especially if you want to do both groups), 1-3 EaST (10-12 PaST) for leisure. Format:
Forumname (USEast accountname), charactername (build type): grouptype and times available.
This is starting to get too complicated, should've been done west by now and already started on east. Even Wathombe agrees with that. Imagine, though, how far we can get in four to six hours; maybe through normal entirely!
