I know we don't normally advertise games on the forum anymore. But tomorrow night a group of us are hosting the annual August Mega Chain (Annual event since 2016). Roughly 27 panels up for grabs, on a mixture of donationware, and payware simulations. It is recommended you join the SimSig TeamSpeak server https://www.SimSig.co.uk/Forum/ThreadView/18819 even if you can only listen in on the comms. The server is on 24 hours a day so feel free to join ahead of time and test it out.

The link for TeamSpeak details does not appear to work.. However, hoping to join from around 8pm with Rugby panels (preferably South) or Wembley as I don't have any of the others further north Log in to reply |

The link seems to have extra characters when you click it so try this one and hopefully it will work https://www.SimSig.co.uk/Forum/ThreadView/18819?postId=0 Blessed are the true believers, for only they shall walk the Path, and they shall be welcomed unto the realm of the Ori and made as one with Them.

I took over Watford Junction control from Mike. The TCF at Harrow on the Up Slow, hence the Up Slow being blocked off, didn't cause any issues apart from minor delays to any train that had to crossover from the SL to the FL. A good session: thanks to those responsible for the setting up and hosting. Dave Post has attachments. Log in to view them.

Thanks for organising, everyone. I had to turn my mic off on teamspeak because of echoing, but it was still quite entertaining listening in. Especially the Aussie / Kiwi banter!

Was disappointing to be told 'Its Full' in effect tough!! Perhaps a waiting list to join would have been useful for something that popular. Only goes to discourage people who rarely join a multigame IMO. Anyway, maybe next time

Apologies, I was responsible for all / most of the wrong routes on Saltley and at least a couple of the cancelled routes. Not the wrong platform though as there are no stations on the Centre Panel! Will do better next time! Log in to reply |

Many thanks to the hosts for putting it together and hosting. Since the event was so popular, would it be worthwhile making the chain more frequent? Maybe quarterly? Obviously, this will depend on host availability.

At one point I heard one of the organisers query on TeamSpeak if anybody was waiting to join and was informed that there was not. Apologies and we'll learn from this and do better next time!
