Ah, you remind me of.. me.
I tried this same feat back many, many moons ago. Back when I was just a mere swashbuckler in this ocean of pirates and plunderers. Safe to say, it failed, miserably.
However, I'm always willing to try at it. However, we should try to shoot for 1. A day for where a lot of people can come on, like a weekend, or a vacation day. 2. A 1 to 2 hour time frame, to centralize exactly when people should log on.
