Twelfth edition of the posts in a day record

― June 25th 2017 ―
Record day will take place on Saturday, July 29th CEST (Central European Summer Time: UTC+2).
― June 7th 2017 ―
For the twelfth time, Pirate-Community is organizing a posts in a day record. Here is a short description for those of you who joined recently:
Hunchman801 wrote:Each year since 2006, we organise a posts in a day record at PC. The whole thing is quite simple: it consists in posting the most possible messages in a predetermined time span of 24 hours. The goal is not only to break a new record every year or bring more activity to the forums, but also to shuffle our topics in order to bring new discussions for the following year.
This is not a spam contest, and useless messages are obviously not welcome. However, the special conditions during the record day will be the cause of a certain leniency, especially as concerns old topics, which can be bumped freely.
The current record stands at an insane 32252 posts. Can we do better this year? That's up to you!
The rewards rise to the occasion: each post is worth 15 Tings within the given time span, and then come the bonus Tings: 1500 for participating, 1500 for beating one's previous posts in a day record, and 3000 Tings for the winner. For example, a couple years ago someone earned the incredible amount of 84690 Tings that day.
As for the date, I would recommend a Saturday in July or August, but I'd like to hear your thoughts before I set up the poll.
Get ready to have fun!

Indeed, though any particular month that'll work best for you, Fifo?
I think I'll lean a bit towards preferring July, myself.

I would prefer a saturday in July. In Mid-August I'll be on holiday and thus less likely to perform.

A Saturday in July/August works for me.

I'd like an August, the only reason being that between the two kinds of dues currently existing, one doing everything to rebuild the past and the other constructing a future, I'm actually of the first kind. So we shall roll the vote on for the month ?

The way my holidays work I'm going to be away from the 15th July all the way to 8th August. The best date I could possibly do is 12th August unless we want to do one early July.

I'm not sure right now, I'm available in the 2 months overall but I'll be busy at some precise dates. I'll tell you when I'll be aware of the dates.

Going to try to reach for the top five this time, eh Keane?
That will be a pretty nice goal.

Aw dammit, there's no way I'll beat my personal record. Not without a year's gossip to catch up on.

I don't recall Hood beating me last year.

I think it's safe to say I'll beat my record from last year.

I just remember beating all of the people last year even if they all nighter.

I'm going to try again to get number 1

Except this time I'll try not to keel over and fall asleep by preparing myself with lots of tea

No more coffee for me it is already 10 months, so an energy drink without caffeine and some vitamins should do it just fine.
I'll try to make a few push ups during rd to get them well pumped in my veins.

Well then, it's that time of the year.
Personally, I'd love it to be on August, since I'll be working for the entirety of July. I'm not aiming for any whooping record this year tho, so I guess I could throw one or two posts over here if it fall on July too.
