There is a Time zone converter in the very first post or
worldclock converter
Just add the date time as posted in the first post then at the bottom where you are in the world and click convert it will then show you what time for you it starts.

Also any money left over has been stated by Rahja "all proceeds will go to a charitable fund."

I can't wait for this great event even if I have to wake up early in the morning
Perth Aussie time.

Philippines is UTC+8 which is same as GMT+8, so add eight hours to all the times on the schedule. That makes the start time 3am for you. Same for people in Hong Kong, Taiwan or Perth, for example, not terribly convenient. Perhaps we need to organise an Imperial party in Cantha some day at a better time for us.

Thx for the run Nash. Unfortunately my parents banned me from GW for a week last night . I'll be there for the party tho. Wat happened is I was in a group doing foundry and they took about...7 hours. and I got in trouble cause I was supposed to be doin homework. Oh well. I need a detox anyway. It sucks tho cause my dad exited the game while the group was in the middle of killing the fury. I was SO close. wat a waste But I will still make the party!

With the advent of hard mode, I will be on pretty much 24/7 for a while, so chances are good I will be on when you need me. As of now, I am online for the rest of today.

Just an all-out marvelous idea. I commend all the "faculty". Lately the idea of community events has really been blazing, and I'm definitely going to be there. Creative lore background, too.

I read the entire OP, but can't find this:

If I wish to donate things, just contact you in-game? I got a ton of leftover treats from the Canthan New Year and St. Patrick's/Easter.

Ok I need one thing...A char belt pouch. If anyone is willing to donate it to me I can set something-up.I'm not sure what to do since everyone is already got this planned.
I could fill my bags up then drop random drops for everyone ther but I REALLY want a charr bag. Please give the the links for it and I'll go hunting for you guys.

I think I can work up the 35K but I need someone to give me a link for the best farming area of Tyria thats before the jungles area but after lions arch.
Heres what I got.
(15+ Mods + 1dye + random drops + a week of running newbs=?K)

The belt pouches can be found in Ascalon city from one of the merchants. it's 50 g I think.

This isn't runescape. You can't drop items randomly in towns, cause thats what I think you're saying.

The best places are in the Shiverpeaks which is towards ascalon, close to where serenity temple is. but other than that all I can suggest is to just go on hunting trips and get anything you can.

1.) They're not "newbs" (btw it's noobs). They just don't know where Serenity Temple is and need some help. Don't be rude just because you can run.

2.) it depends on the drops, mod's abilities' (+20%/20, +30 health, etc.) and running people is supposedly free, so a ballpark I've got is 25-30k. But thats if all the mods are perfect, you get good drops and you have a pretty rare dye.

There is a difference between "newbs" and "noobs". Newbs are those who are new to the game, and don't know what's going on. Noobs are those who have been playing and try to act better than their skill is.

It is official.... I am doooooomed. http://www.guildwars.com/community/news/ 5th item down...

yep, all is lost, they linked to the wrong thread, but even then... this event may have gotten too popular. I really need those staff positions filled guys if this is to even go down... without my staff I am but one guy.

Also, I am still short about 60 obsidian shards of my donation goal, 25 ecto, and about 21 rubies and sapphires, maybe even more. Please, if you are willing to far for these and sell them at lower then average prices, please please do.

Runners ya'll need to be humble and if a group you are running offers you a tip even though you announced it was free, don't take it.

I disagree here, I think if someone offers them a tip, they are more then welcome to take it, considering it is indeed a tip.

ANother breaking story! Looks as if publicity on the event is really spreading. Izzy is quite aware of the event, and apparently I am going on Weapon of Choice on www.radioitg.com on Tuesday, May 1st. Looks like this is really picking up pace.

Well, I've got 2 out of 3 references sent...guildleader is currently MIA, told me to email him details and he'd do it as soon as he finished his TotPK run on hard mode, and no one's seen him since! That's dangerous stuff I tell you! Anyway, I'm still really excited, and I hope CC shows up to send you that reference soon, so I can help with the scavenger hunt!

Consider yourself an official staff member. We still need to pull a lot more staff together if this event is to be really successful! This event is BIG news right now in the Guild Wars community, and has been noticed by Guild Wars fansites, Arena Net, and even PLAYNC. I cannot allow this event to go the wayside, nor will I. This event is going to be a success even if I have to hogtie people to be my staff members.

Let's all work together and really make this a fun filled evening on May5th @ 7PM GMT!

Cheyenne, I could really use you as a backup caterer for district 2. We need to fill those alternate positions so that if/when we experience filling of ID1, the people forced into ID2/3/4/5 and so on are not left out. THis is VERY important, and is an issue I hope Gaile and myself as well as Izzy may be discussing in the coming days. Let us hope for the best.

Well, I can be more positive on my schedule once we get closer to the date, but If you need a slot filled let me know. I'll try to get a friend of mine to send you a reference, I know it's only one, but I hope me running people helps with credibility? Anyway, Good luck finding more staff!

Oh, and today I will be online for a very long time giving margonites the smackdown, so If anyone needs a run I will more than likely be available, pm Mat Cauthorn.

Still very excited about this, I'm talking to the rest of my guild now about possibly making a Guild Donation from all of us instead of a few from different individuals. We'll stockpile whatever our members want to give, items, cash, w/e...and I'll get it to you all at once when everyone's had a chance to donate. This should make it lots easier on you, so you don't have to meet up with 20 different people, plus more people can donate without waiting for you to sign on!
