Its back again guys, and this time it is Bristol.

Firstly I would like to say that no lists will be published from this game but IP's will be noted on connection due to the large number of players expected to connect.

Unfortunately last time I had to disconnect people who were watching because it placed so much preasure on my connection so this time I am going to use a rosster.

Each rosster period will be every 2 hours, 0000 - 0200, 0200 - 0400, 0400 - 0600, 0600 - 0800, 0800 - 1000, 1000 - 1200, 1200 - 1400, 1400 - 1600, 1600 - 1800, 1800 - 2000, 2000 - 2200, 2200 - 0000.

So anyone wishing to join a particular roster period will have to PM me which rosster period you want to join atleast 30 mins before the period starts.

rosster possitions available will be, Weston, Bristol, Bath, St andrews and Filton, along with Viewing 1, viewing 2 and viewing 3.

If anyone attempts to connect without first booking a rosster period with me and being informed you are on that period, your connection will be declined.

PLEASE NOTE: All players must state their SimSig user name upon connecting to the game.

Simulation: Bristol
Timetable Era: 2005
Time at sim start: 00:00.

Real time date: 14/03/10.
Real time start time: 00:00 GMT.

IP Address: Will be placed in 'Notification of hosting' thread @ 23:30 GMT on 13/03/10.
Port: 50505

Your host: AFRO(Alan)
MSN: alank85@hotmail.com

PANELS ARE OPERATED ON A ROTATIONAL BASIS TO ENSURE EVERYBODY HAS A FAIR GO.

A couple of In-game rules:

1. All trains are to run on there correct lines unless stated. Ie, Anyone using Bi-Di lines just to mess will be asked to vacate that panel.

2. Trains should not recieve a COA, if you wrong route a train you either, wait for the driver to call in before cancelling the route or re-route the train back to its correct route at a later time.

3. No should interfer with a panel which is not in there control.

You can count me in for this and as with last time you should be able to rely on me to provide cover as needed. Although it might be that I am only available from 2am onwards. Should you need to specifically book me into any slot(s) then please do let me know which slot(s) as soon as you know.

Looking forward to it.

Guys please read the originall post carefully as you will not be able to just pop in and play as it puts to much strain on my connection at times.

Alan, it might be an idea to publish a roster in the form of a Google doc so that people can see the gaps.

John,

There has been some arguments over things being published lately so I would rather keep things private. And this way only the people who have recieved a PM knows they are allowed join a specifc period, of course SimSig's main men can connect at anytime to see how the game is and offer advice like the last time, Geoff M dropped in and we all learned from him that interposing on the boundries is a bad thing. The last game Geoff M, Postal, Peter and Ken all dropped in to say hello and see how things were going.

Alan.

Hi All,

Unfortunately last night my internet connection droppedd from 2100 GMT and only came back at 1000 GMT this morning, hence why no one had heard from me. I will re-arrange this game for after the meet maybe looking at the 28th march.

Once again my appologises.

Alan.

Oooer.

There's me realising on Sunday night / early Monday morning that I totally missed "The Big One Mark 2" hosting session (completely slipped my mind) and it never actually happened anyway.

Maybe it's a creepy sign that no-one can handle a 24hr session without me, lol (hey, a man can dream :P)!

Oh well, looking forward to having another chance at remembering about this session and hopefully joining.
