Following on from the first hosting of the Annual Mega Chain this year, we have decided to host a continuation on the 12th of September. We're looking to start around 19:00 BST.

TeamSpeak will be in use for the session, and we'd encourage everyone involved in the session to join, preferably with a microphone, though you can just join and listen in. Get testing ahead of the session the server is up 24 hours a day. See https://www.SimSig.co.uk/Forum/ThreadView/18819

We'll be asking people to nominate which simulations they'd like to join so we can try and balance out the numbers. This will happen a bit closer to the time.

Start time is 07:30

For details of the sims in use see https://www.SimSig.co.uk/Game/Details/5618

I want to take part but will be staying in a Premier Inn at the time, would I be able to join on the free wifi or will it just be too slow for it to work?

Considering that SimSig hardly uses any WiFi data, you should be fine.

Depends on the Wi-Fi's security/privilege settings. When I was in University Halls, I couldn't join multiplayer games on their Wi-Fi.

Try it and see, just don't be surprised if you can't establish (or maintain) a connection.

Karl,
You have put 07:30 in your post yet the pending games list shows it as 18:58. Do you really mean 19:30? If it is 07:30 then I'll be about during the day, but not if it's the later option.

It looks like 07:30 is the Simulation time; the first post says the session opens at 19:00.

Or, and please don't take this the wrong way, we do it on a first come, first serve basis, which is fair to all at the time. As Karl has previously said however, an idea to which sims you'd be able to join would be more useful for numbers.

That is how it was done the last two times, and is how Public Hosting is normally done. It is not fair to others to reserve panels in advance.

I'm not hosting, and not attending this time as I will be working, but having spoken to the hosts, it will be first in first served, at the sole discretion of the hosts.

Sorry guys, I am in the business of making people wait!
