Wiki says quake time whic was xx:35 set roll time. So roll should be xx:05!?

Either way I log in xx:00 and stay there to not miss roll either case.

As understand it, the roll should happen 30 minutes before the mob spawns. The turn in after the quake wasn't until xx:53. She didn't spawn until xx:54 yesterday. I turned in the marching orders at xx:55.

Wiki says different. Says determine day after quake. (Yesterday) and from there keep that time. Its all confusing cus someone edited wiki just a few weeks back.

I like your idea more tho. To just always roll 30 min prior to last pop. And until reading the edited p99 ring 8 agreements wiki i thought that was how it was supposed to be.

Wiki says different.

To be clear (and this is true for all player agreements), the wiki means nothing ... or at least, almost nothing.

What matter is purely what the players on the ground are willing to do. All the wiki can do is reflect that ... but people misunderstand and think the wiki sets the rules, and then some people try to change the rules by changing the wiki.

That only works if, when you change the wiki, you also convince everyone in the game to do something different; otherwise your change is completely meaningless, and the roll will still work the same way it did before. So while it would be nice if the players who participate in rolls could keep the wiki accurate (as it would be nice for any part of the wiki), no one should have the false impression that the wiki dictates anything.

The players dictate the terms of every agreement, and no amount of shenanigans (wiki or otherwise) can change that.

I disagree, therefore there is no agreement?

30 minutes before spawn is verifiable, nothing else is.

Right now we have a group of people claiming the roll is finished an hour before spawn.

The roll after EQ was held at 4:05pm cst Thursday, approximately 30 minutes before the EQ, per the Wiki agreement. The turn in was actually closer to 5pm cst. If you’re interested in the roll I’d come out at 4:05 pm cst until it is agreed to be moved to another time.
