(PC) Role Play Event - 02:00 Game Time June 29, 3304

[Rambo the 13th]

Check out the video for details. One correction is the time. It was supposed to say 02:00 not 2:00 GMT. So the CORRECT TIME is 02:00 Game Time. For those in the USA/North America it will be 10PM Eastern/9PM Central Thursday night June 28th. Hope to see you all there, should be fun.

Just out of pure curiosity: How did you settle on this date? 2AM game time (...which is GMT, right?), thats 4AM CET, on a regular workday. Well regular except thats its the date chapter 2 drops, so everyone will be busy testing the Krait, if they finished downloading that is.
Why not on the weekend?

Well I and most of the 13th Legion are USA based so, that about 9PM for us. Thursday is the first day of the cycle so the power play folks will be relocating and a bit more available. And lastly, many CMDRs are already out in the Plaedies for the CG, so for the USA based ones, its easy to log in and be ready right away. Also. Got family stuff to do during the weekened and have found weekday stuff works better so long as your ok going to work a bit tired.

This just in from Fdev to further the plot [h=3] Galaxy Reacts to Federal-Imperial Betrothal[/h]27 JUN 3304

There has been a range of reactions to news that Princess Aisling Duval and Federal Ambassador Jordan Rochester are to be married.

A congratulatory message was sent from the Imperial Palace, but there has been no personal comment from Emperor Arissa Lavigny-Duval. News agencies on Capitol have reported rumours that the proposed marriage was not discussed with the Imperial family, and that the Emperor did not consent to the Princess’s engagement.

Senator Zemina Torval offered a more definite statement of disapproval:

“This is an attention-seeking move from the princess, and a dangerous one. It is beyond her remit to impact Imperial policy in this manner. Allowing her to harbour romantic fantasies is one thing, but the Empire cannot countenance such a reckless political manoeuvre.”

Senator Caspian Leopold, who until recently was rumoured to be courting Aisling Duval, was more supportive:

“I can assure you that many senators, patrons and citizens are delighted by the news. I’ve been privileged to witness Princess Aisling in Ambassador Rochester’s company, and they make a charming and affectionate couple. I wish them both all the happiness in the galaxy.”

There was no response from President Zachary Hudson, suggesting that the engagement was as unexpected to the Federation as to the Empire. But a statement was made by Congressman Isolde Rochester, the mother of Jordan Rochester:

“I support my son’s relationship with Her Imperial Highness, and I consider this a positive step for all parties. The potential benefits of stronger ties between the Empire and the Federation are incalculable, particularly in the areas of trade and defence. Many of us in Congress hope that this happy event spearheads a new era of cooperation.”

Reactions from independent systems have ranged from joy to outrage. The only official response from the Alliance came from a spokesperson for the office of Prime Minister Edmund Mahon, who said:

“The Alliance offers cordial congratulations to the couple, although it remains to be seen if their intentions become a reality.”

You realize that there is a certain poetic justice to your post given that most of the "official" events happen exclusively during the US work day?
