New In-Game Calendar

[Abric]

Folks, I'd recommend you check it out and play around with it and overall... understand!  We'll start implementing the useage of this calendar, as it puts more things that we do back in the game, instead of on the site. 

Grim Events will still be valid, and we'll still be doing "business as usual" but for the next week or two, we'll be doubling it up. 

"How do I use the calendar?"

Well, that's simple - click on it and if you can tie your shoes you can understand it.  When there is a new event, the calendar itself will flash with a question mark.  Got an event you have been invited to but haven't put your attendance on?  Big question mark.

"How do I get invited?"

Invites are either individually, or at the creation of the event can be "Mass Invites."  Mass Invites are guild specific and have three critrea

1) Level; it can be set from 1-70 or for anything inbetween
2) Guild Rank; you set a minimum rank and that rank and everyone above are automatically placed on the attendee list
3) Arena Group; Either your 2v2, 3v3, or 5v5.

There are also two types of things you can put on the Calendar:  Events and Announcements.  Events are things you can sign up for, Announcements are just a guild-wide FYI.  Right now we have Events set up for the rest of this week and up to the 26th.  I have also placed a Test Announcement on the 28th, just so folks can see the difference.

Doesn't that kind of suckerpunch BMR alts?  Guess they get to sign up as their Grim counterparts!

Yep.  Concerning normal events and announcements, just mirroring it on BMR won't be much of an issue.

Concerning raids?  Sign up with your main - or we have the option of finding out who raids with their alts... and either get them in the guild or those that cannot (due to other alts or roleplaying conflicts) will just be added to the list.

Good thing about scheduling, is you can just C&P a list.  For example, the ones I put for next week - I erased all of the alts that I know aren't going to go on a raid... at least, I think I did.  Mwhahaha!
