Yea but for some bad coincidence there's a lot of people who can't be on the weekend after March 15. probably because they rescheduled things they had planned on March 15 to the next weekend because we were under the impression that the gst would be on March 15 like we were told.

Weezy said the maximum duration of the entire event, start to finish, would be six hours.
You're both right; I'd expect it to range from 2-6 hours in totality.
In regard to splitting it over a couple weekends, I've got mixed feelings.
On one hand, as some people have already mentioned: all of the participants may not be able to make it.
Some people are seeing splitting the GST over a couple weeks could turn it into more a matter of dedication than of gauging a gang's aptitude.
It could turn into a question of, "What are you willing to give up to participate?"
Take myself for example: it's Spring Break right now, and I'm busting my hump to get at least two weeks ahead in my three college classes so that my wife won't have a problem letting me play in GST. Also, I've got two daughters that I generally like to spend time with on the weekend. I use the weekends to get caught up in yard work. Setting aside one weekend instead of three weekends is much easier for me to do.
Fortunately, I've generally got weekends off; and that's the only reason I'm able to participate this year.
I couldn't participate the past two years because I worked for a bakery in a grocery store.
Saturday was one of our busiest days, so if I wanted Saturdays off, I'd have to request it, and it would be frowned upon.
Especially for several consecutive Saturdays-- I'm assuming there's several players in a similar boat as I was.
On the other hand, splitting it between several weekends would break it down to a more digestible time block.
It would also create a lot of anticipation and "trash talking", which is healthy with a competition as large as this one is.
I mean, people are making diss rap songs over this; some people are making cartoons.
It's great stuff; all done in great fun, excellent boost in comradery, and a great expression to the love of the game.
We have something called life's though, maybe the finals should be more anticipated though and be put like the next week.
*clap* thank you meph! Was that last paragraph for me?
wtf.
Lmao, we are giving suggestions and john doesn't need to do it if he doesn't want. And btw you don't really know if most of us are participating in gst or not but i'll let you know that i am. And I do care about giving ideas. Not some random topic so to speak.
You say he is in charge of gst, then you should let him decide on the days.
Yes he is in charge bit what he is doing is unfair. Like others have say they maybe arranged their weekend just to be on gay which at that time it was only one day now that John considering doing on 2-3weekends I see it pointless it takes away the thrill and fun. I say we just stick to one day, wanna know what because people on a normal day stay on most of the day so does it matter that it will last 6hrs? Not really, navy, ifreeze, etc base for more hours than that everyday.
Oh and by the way, the people that have been following this post is because they are participating on gst. Just saying graal era, you on on page before said "why you even complaining if you are not even gonna participate" or something close to day, and I just don't want to look for it because it late and I am tired and I just want to see this to get to an agreement weather keep it 1day or 2-3days...

Navy bases more than 6 hours a day? Woo
Remember there will be an extra match at the end for determining 3rd place winners

Just an idea, maybe before the gangs enter into the gst arena and start fighting, John could tell the members participating their "ping" so they would know if they are too laggy to compete or not so players wouldn't be kicked unintentionally.
