Well guess I'm leaving my guy AFK during the Super Bowl.

Oh well, no big deal there. Will get me some more Unlucky/Lucky points.

Other than my usual comment that game events shouldn't take place at exactly the same time as real events.

I could add that although the TV spectacle of the Super bowl lasts slightly longer than the hundred years war the game itself is a little shorter so you shouldn't miss too much of the GW event.

You could also record the whole event then watch just the game and enjoy all the bells and whistles later.

ewwwwwwwwwww

Nice one! Cardinals only chance would be to rack up massive points and keep ben on the ground. Hard to do against the Steelers "D"

Maybe there is a district hosting guild out there that would welcome superbowl AFK'ers. We could all sit/dance in one specific area of the district in the shape of a football.

Nine rings during the bowl, if I watch it at all.

Now if this event happened during the stanley cup finals, well...

People have their perferences.....GW = blackout for me during the world cups

And then there's me who never follows sports (unless the White Sox are in the playoffs) and would much prefer to play Guild Wars to listen to idiots cheer about someone throwing around a ball :P

Oh, and that whole silly soccer vs. football argument earlier in the thread? As an American that spent the summer in England during the 2006 World Cup...American football's popularity has nothing on soccer's popularity, and I have never seen a crazed fan like a crazed soccer fan.

I might watch it if I'm not at work, but everyone will probably be watching/talking about it all day, anyway, Since I live in Arizona >.>

Not sure if I will afk or do the Dragon Arena....hmmmm.

You can do it Friday and Saturday, doesn't have to be on Sunday. Unless you gotta work on Saturday too then at least you have a day to play.

Elder III · Jan 26, 2009, 03:16 AM // 03:16

You can always tape the SuperBowel and Leave you comp on and go afk for the day.

Hopefully I'll have enough gold to buy tokens to be use for the AKing on this event!

Is it confirmed that the finale is on Sunday? I mean A-Net could somehow make it on a Monday which would suck more since I'm at work on the weekdays! lol

Big_Iron · Jan 27, 2009, 07:34 PM // 19:34

AFK for me. The Super Bowl is MUCH bigger than the Canthan New Year for me.

Fril Estelin · Jan 27, 2009, 07:42 PM // 19:42

It's on the BBC (UK) after 11pm, I may take a look at it
