PEOPLE OF SIMSIG!!!!!!!!!! Following the extremely successful 24 hour "Mega Chain" in lieu of the Peterborough Meet, and the later "Lockdown full shift host", the team have made arrangements to put on another mega chain game. Giving us about 20 potential panels this is the largest most diverse hosting session which has been attempted, over the Pennines and then down towards the midlands. Commencing 10:00 on the 02/05/2020 we will set off on an 8-10 hour session, encompassing the back half of the night shift, and the start of the early shift. The following sims will be in use:- Huddersfield Manchester East Manchester North Machester Piccadilly Manchester South Stockport Staffordshire Hunts Cross Timetable Refreshed 2015 TT; Starting 0400 with posessions and then we plan to follow a number of planned scenarios which will be randomlly selected from the wheel of randomness including but not limited to SPAD incident, fire alarm, broken rail, ESR, Cows on the line <<TradeMark - Wheel of Randomness is based on the game "what aspect will I see next on an austalian sim" where randomness is certainly guaranteed..>> How to sign up We have split the session down into two hour chunks available in the upcoming games window, please use these to sign up for the times at which you can commit to the full two hours. This will allows us to staff the sims as appropriate. In Game Communication Will be via TeamSpeak, you don't need access to a microphone, or to speakers, but both of these would help if you have them. Panel Allocations We will issue a spreadsheeet of panel allocations prior to the start of the session, which will be updated as we continue. Hosts We have made special arrangements to provide continuous hosting throughout the period. We don't at the moment need any further volunteers. The Roster Available to view at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12BFSeMksAWSsNVIYBYDL-zyx_SUIWrtRMxbHANOsj-U/edit?usp=sharing ** If you can not turn up please try to let us know so we can re-allocate you panel ** Should you fail to turn up for a session start time we will reallocate your panel; for future sessions in this game you will be marked as provisional where you will be on standby for a panel.

This will be good. I have all sims and don't mind working solo. Just a thought though: if this is an 8hr chain split into multiple 2-hour sessions but there are 5 sessions then surely that is at least 10 hours in total? Looking forward to it: I have put myself in for the 1415 run. Dave Log in to reply |

Thanks for organising another big chain! I've signed up for a couple of afternoon sessions. Currently I only have Staffordshire from the set, would be great if I could be scheduled there but I'd be willing to buy one of the others if necessary. Log in to reply |

The roster is now available via a link in the opening post. Still plenty of time for people to sign up before the game begins.

One for the roster clerk, I've been given my shifts for the session however at some point I am expecting a redelivery by Royal Mail which could be any time during the session that I'm signalling. My question is thus, will there be a relief signaller to cover me for a few minutes IF the postman arrives when I'm connected and signalling trains? As I might have to leave the session for a few minutes with hardly any notice as Royal Mail doesn't give a delivery time slot. If whoever can get back to me and confirm that there is cover then I would appreciate it most greatly. Log in to reply |
