TheBVE2010 Hosting Timetable

I don't understand, why is there an issue with two people hosting at the same time? It's been happening for years. It just gives other people a choice of which sim they want to join.

Also, one simulation may be more preferred which will steal the joiners of another session.

Bearing Noel's excellent post in mind here is my two pence worth.

Every so often someone makes a post like this asking people not to host when they do, or implying they'd like people not to host when they are etc.

I would just let people host when they want to host. The fact someone else is already hosting would never stop me putting a game(s) up.

As mentioned before, I don't mind people hosting while I am, as long as it is on a different. Simulation.

And yes, once I have posted host details for a session on the forum, I will usually stick to my plans unless my PC plays up or something.

I refer you back to my earlier post. People should be able to host what they want when they want.

And they can, but I just find it frustrating when someone hosts the same simulation as me. It's pointless and causes confusion.

But the same simulation does not mean the same experience. If the hosts are using different timetables, different eras, and/or different scenaios, then the hosting sessions are different. Even different hosts can lead to a different experience for the user. Users all have their own preferences, so having multiple, varying sessions caters for that.

I'm not someone who has ever even joined a multiplayer sim, never mind hosted one. Reading this post, though, inspired me to start hosting games purely to host the same sims at the same time as you, just because.

Glad I have inspired you....consider growing up as well as hosting

Pot . . . . . kettle?

In simple terms , stop arguing. If you want to host something and someone happens to post at the same or similar time that your hosting , example , Carlisle 2009 timetable at 8pm on a thursday night does not give you the right to make the teddy , rattle and other toys in the pram airborne! Get over it , host when you want , if it clashes with someone doing the same , carry on. If you get one connection , you get one , on the other hand if you get a full house then good. Please stop this bickering and arguing as I'm getting ticked off at seeing this constant moaning.

In closing , I have hosted in the past and had similar situations. I've just changed the timetable to offer variety.

Lets put this situation to bed , get on with life and carry on hosting.

As headshot119 said , he had his two pence worth. I've ranted to £5!

Thank you

Hi all!

As you know, I am a fan of hosting simulations on SimSig but there are other people out there who are too.

I hope this hosting timetable helps avoid hosting clashes and clears up any confusion. (Not that there is any).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Monday: Definitely Hosting - Saltley/Stafford/Exeter
From 20:00 to 23:00/00:00 (BST)

Tuesday: Maybe Hosting - Carlisle/Bristol/KGX
From 20:00 to 23:00/00:00 (BST)

Wednesday: Day Off/Joining Day

Thursday: Day Off/Joining Day

Friday: Maybe Hosting - Victoria Central/South Eastern/Derby
From 21:00 to 00:00/02:00 (BST)

Saturday: Day Off/Joining Day

Sunday: Maybe Hosting - Waterloo/Brighton or any other small donationware sim
From Any Time Of The Day

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This timetable is just to let you guys know when I'm hosting. I am not using it to prioritize myself and it is not being used to stop other people from hosting.

Note: Monday is the day when I am definitely hosting no matter what. The days marked as 'Maybe Hosting' are days where I will be hosting unless someone else is. The days marked as 'Day Off/Joining Day' are pretty self explanatory. I will either be joining someone else's session or I will be offline.


You guys have the right to host whenever you want and I have only posted this timetable to let you guys know when I'm hosting.


I would recommend making a timetable to all hosts as it is useful to the people who join your sims and it will help avoid session conflict.



Please leave any suggestions for this timetable in the comments section and thanks for reading!

[quote]Excuse me for asking but is this schedule for next week, the week after or is it to be a regular weekly event.

I know. But I said hosting clashes, which is where someone is hosting the same simulation as someone else. In my opinion, it's more fun when two online sessions are happening at once so those in the queue of one can just go to the other.

I can't say in 5 years of Simsigging (and sporadic hosting) I've ever seen this happen? the exception is where a Sim is hosted and is full to capacity with a large queue so a second copy is opened to ease demand.

I also don't personally see a need for a timetable. there's a host of some sort I can join most evenings. if I want to join I take a look at what's on offer that evening. it also avoids disappointment when you have to cancel due to the real world (under promise, over deliver).

It's not that common because people only state their hosting when they are 100% sure. Nobody else ever has done a hosting timetable. AFAIK. This topic just makes you come across as selfish and arrogant in my opinion.
