First announce a scheduled down time.

Await the arrival of EU/AU/NZ folk pointing out its right in the middle of the day, evening whatever.

The arrival of the abusive ones from above areas.

Fanboys add some random comments.

All accross america goats can cross bridges in a safe manor as the trolls are now posting.

Que stereotypical americans comments

The unpleasant one " lots of abuse, its an american game, F U lots stop whining"

response by some saying hey I thought they were owned by the french.

The I failed geography one " all you brits and oz folk in the EU should stop complaining"

An quick lesson in the above subject from someone. Austria has lots of skiing and large enduro motorbikes painted bright orange to go faster, it is in Europe. Australia is the place with crocodiles, giant rats with built in beer pouches on front and creatures that look like stoned care bears in their trees, it is not in Europe or anywhere near europe.

The I failed history one- Insert any word war related comment here

The fox news watcher- hell were the only one saving the world , I like some of you guys cause you still have druids and stuff.

The CBS new watcher- corrects fox news watcher on the worlds current affairs and asks anyone if they saw the bit on the kitten up the tree.

The hippy turns up and tells everybody to be friends and askes for world peace, he is promptly told to sod off by all parties.

The nice Americans turn up and beat the trolls to death with knowledge and by using fake spock ears as slings for their furuta ship collections.

Thread goes quiet.

Emergency downtime and a post that they will do the maintenance then instead.

Que all those telling the EU/OZ folk to suck it up and to stop whining throwing their dollies out the pram and screaming its not fair you all sux.

Any Gm comments are missed for at least 3 pages of people whining about not being told anything.

Large thuds are heard all over the world as those staying up late drinking and playing STO fall off their chairs laughing and a large surge in the belief of Karma takes the gaming community by storm.

Wives and girlfriends are "accidently" woken up all over the world by bored gamers who cant play.

Several hundred more to whine or not to whine posts follow

servers up everybody is friends again.

Got to say the thread was almost as enjoyable as the game.

    Did I miss it or did you forget the step where someone posts a thread describing the events that will occur during a server downtime?

    Nope that usually happens afterwards, so is not really done during the thread but could be added as a PS
