[REPEATING Q&A] Game Mechanics Q&A - Three Times Every Week

[Seamus Donohue]

This is a general Question-and-Answer session on any aspect of game mechanics. This will be a regular twice-a-week session.

The general premise of this class is: Over the past 7 days, you have encountered things in EVE Online that have confused you to no end, and now you have questions about how the game works.

When: (Schedule is still in flux after months-long absence; see http://calendar.eveuniversity.org )

Twice every week.

Sunday, 3 PM USA Eastern, 12 Noon USA Pacific
Wednesday, 11 PM USA Eastern, 8 PM USA Pacific

In EVE time, this is every Sunday 20:00 and Thursday 04:00 while the United States is in Standard Time (winter months; 1st Sunday of November to 2nd Sunday of March)...
...or Sunday 19:00 and Thursday 03:00 while the United States is in Daylight Time (summer months; 2nd Sunday of March to 1st Sunday of November)

Where: Public Mumble and ingame channel - Class (EVE Uni)
Duration: 1 hour

Note: On weeks where this conflicts with a major class or event such as CSM Townhalls or Ask The Management Q&As, then Game Mechanics will usually be cancelled or delayed until after the displacing event.

Topics Covered:

• Depends on what is asked, but will be limited to game mechanics questions.

Student requirements:

• Mumble registration and access - make sure you have Mumble sorted out and operational well before the class begins. Use this guide for set-up: http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Mumble
• Join the Class (EVE Uni) in-game chat channel

Additional information: This class is primarily a Q&A session that might spawn a spontaneous lecture, delivered in the Lecture.E-UNI channel in Mumble. There is no practical component.

The Game Mechanics Q&A session for Sunday, July 21st, 2013 (Saturday July 20th for My Fellow Americans) is cancelled. I apologize for the short notice, as I forgot that I had a schedule conflict with real life.

The weekly Game Mechanics Q&A session will be back on the same Bat Time, same Bat Channel, Sunday, July 28th, 2013, 2 AM EVE time.

Enjoyed the 9-28 class, especially the "old man star" reading. I had yet to read that particular story. Thanks!

[Seamus Donohue]

There WILL NOT be a Game Mehcanics Q&A session on November 3, 2013. (For my fellow Americans, this is Saturday, November 2.)

Starting Sunday November 10, 2013, the sessions will be at 03:00 EVE Time. (For my fellow Americans, this is not a change; it will still be Saturday evening, we're just going from 10PM EDT to 10PM EST, which is also from 7PM PDT to 7PM PST. Players in other countries need to check their own time zone conversions.)

Thank you for the class Seamus! I particularly liked your discussion on suicide ganking. Now I know what to look out for

Thank you again Seamus

The thread title has been updated with the new time.

[Seamus Donohue]

The December 22nd session is cancelled. Something has come up in Real Life that I need to attend to. Nothing serious, but I won't be online at 3 AM EVE time. I apologize for the inconvenience and the short notice.

For those with questions that they were holding for the session, please post them somewhere to the forums and/or send me a forum PM. You WILL get an answer to your question. I also expect to be online on the Mumble sometime after 20:00 EVE time on Sunday (12 PM Noon US West Coast, 3 PM US East Coast).

I expect the December 29th session to go on as usual. The January 5th session is cancelled. All sessions on and after January 12th should go on as usual. All sessions are at 3 AM Sunday EVE time. For My Fellow Americans, that's 7 PM US West Coast, 10 PM US East Coast.

[Seamus Donohue]

The February 15/16 session may or may not happen. Something has come up in real life that I'll be attending to, and it is unknown if I will make it back to my computer in time.

As always, I take questions by E-UNI Forum Private Message. You can also post your question on the relevant board and PM me a link to be sure that I chime in.

[Seamus Donohue]

We are ON for the February 15/16 session. It WILL happen at 03:00 EVE time (in 2 hours 20 minute from this post) as scheduled.
