Well, Dante and Zalis made some suggestions in another thread about Weekly PvP and getting a team together and assorted other activities. This is one of several threads I am opening to dicuss these possibilities.
So please post and answer these questions
Would you be interested in Weekly PvP Battles?
What time are you generally online?
Please answer in GMT
What would be a good day of the week for you?
I was thinking sometime during the work week would be good so that we could have the weekends open for Elite area trips if anyone is interested, but the general response would dictate when this is held, if it is held.
So here's my response
YES, I would love to do some weekly PvP
I am generally online during the hours of 1900-0100 GMT
I would prefer to do this on a Monday or Tuesday night, but I am flexible.
Let me hear what you think, Scouts

Well, I've never made any pretense of my wish to PvP. I've done a bit of HA (monking and mesmering), but would also love to get into GvG, and often hang out in obs mode when not much is happening.
I'm able to play most profs, although neither of the NF ones (I have a real aversion to paras and dervs, dunno why...), though I'm most experienced as warrior, monk and mesmer.
Times I can play....now there's a fun one! As most of you know, I'm a Euro, but I'm sometimes around at US times, so basically...if work permits, I'm good to go.

I favor the melee classes or Paragons and will participate if we get enough involved.

I only have an Ele to use but I can still Tank and do damage with the best of 'em!
I think it would be nice for some of us to get some more experience with PVP as it would certainly be something else to do when things are a bit slow.

Do you have to have a PvP chat or are we taking about what we were doing in the GH with just our guild members? But in any case I would be interested in doing more with our guild members.....so lets make a date for this PvP...  Maybe Tuesdays or Wednesdays would be good......  [glow=pink,5,300]Angel.........

Nah, you don't need a PvP char, though it might be easier to setup skills and weapons sets with them.
My times are the same as in the AB and elite PvE threads. As for professions, I can play monk, ele and ranger. Could try mesmer, but I'm sure there are people with much more experience than me with those.
Maybe we could start out by doing some practices with GvG scrimmages or HA runs (heroes to fill out empty slots in both cases if we must) and later try some casual GvG against other guilds. We can always look for unrated matches, but I don't think anyone here really cares if we loose a couple of rated matches and end up out of the top 100. ;D
Tuesdays or Wednesdays sounds good for me. Maybe make one of these days an official PvPish day (AB, GvG, HA, TA) for those interested? Depending on how many people we have and what everyone wants to do, we can choose a different thing every week.

The old Tuesday Night AB crew drifted briefly into doing inter-Alliance scrimmages. Mostly just within the guild though, but it was fun. We had a 4v4 a few times and everyone seemed to enjoy it. Even with varying degrees of familiarity with PvP, some more... some less, doing it w/ friends/guildies enhances the experience.

Angel: This thread concerns things like GvG, scrimmage, Team Arenas, random arenas, and so forth. I'd actually like to get to the point where we can go to the team Arenas and Heroes' Ascent. I think that it would be fun, and if we lose, oh well. It's just a game, right? Hell, we could even play some rated GvG matches and get pounded just to ooh and ahh at how good the other team is.  I realize that we're definitely a PVE oriented guild and I wouldn't change that for the world. PvP can be very cutthroat and nasty if you get serous about it. I played all the Mechwarrior games in ladder leagues and listened to Clan-mates yell at each other over the dumbest things on Teamspeak. That's not something that I want to see happen here. If we do this and I start to see something like that, the only thing you'll hear is a whoosh from the air filling the vacuum created by my departed character. I play this game for FUN and I like to do competitive things, but there is a point where it gets too serious unless all parties agree that it be that serious. Anyway , as I said, I think this would be a good idea to try out. I think that it will bring the members closer together and get us talking again, maybe even excited. We all know that people will inevitably get bored when there is no new content, so this could be something to keep us occupied in the mean time. Christian PS. I suggest Tuesdays for AB, Wednesdays for this, and Saturdays for the longer Elite areas. |

I think that just so we are clear with all guild members .... none of this is mandatory. We will just be holding these "events" (for lack of a better word) each week for those who are interested in doing something a little different and to keep everyone talking and playing together. If anyone wants to just go on and do thier own thing, that's fine as that's what the Scouts are all about Dante. |

I'm open for this; did some 2vs2 scrimmage with my old guild, which was great fun.
I never found the time to really build a PvP char for TA (and now I have to use a roleplay one anyway), so going there for a reality check would be fine with me too.
Times again from ~ 9pm GMT, mon-thu

lol ... well I think the idea was to try doing some casual AB each week. I'm not sure how many Scouts stick to that though ... To be honest, I tend to keep forgetting about it as i'm usually busy doing something else ... i'd still be interested though |

Right now it's working out to do occasional AB whenever we feel like, as not everyone's on at the same times to do a dedicated outing. I still do most of mine on Tuesday nights though, just out of habit.

Sure was good to be able to get an AB team together so quickly last night, though. |
