Any thoughts on when we should focus our pledges?
Last year we focused on the first two hours -- midnight to 2 AM. It worked well for us. We should probably try for that again with a slight change. We can donate once each hour in order to get our names in the hourly drawings.
Remember the rules are different this year. There is no automatic prize for having the most donors in a 2-hour block. It's just a series of 24 random drawings, one each hour. However, we can greatly improve our chances of having one of our names picked if all of us donate together in the same 1-hour period when there are very few other people donating. This would be in the very early hours of December 11.
So donate a dollar at midnight. Then stay awake for another hour or set your alarm for 1 AM to donate another buck. If you're a real die-hard, try again at 2, 3, and 4 AM!
Energy drinks!! LOL

Last year was different. Our ultimate goal is to spread out our donations once per hour...one drawing per hour for the bonus. BUT if those doing one major donation do it all within one hour there's a better chance one of us will be picked.

Last year was different. Our ultimate goal is to spread out our donations once per hour...one drawing per hour for the bonus. BUT if those doing one major donation do it all within one hour there's a better chance one of us will be picked.
Provided that it is a "slow" hour with very few other donors. The 2-3 AM hour would probably be the slowest, but I doubt many of us would be awake at that hour. Midnight-1 AM should be pretty slow too, and most of us can stay up that late. (1-2 AM should be slow too. If you can stay up that late, I'd suggest donating twice. How great would it be if two of us won an hourly drawing and Rfalconcam received $1000!)

OK...let's commit to a push between Midnight and 1AM and those who can, a secondary push between 1AM & 2AM since 1AM seems to be the dividing line...then whatever everyone can do the rest of the day.

ROC the Day is only a a few hours away!
Join us tonight at midnight for the start of ROC the Day. Sadly this year there are no bonuses for the most number of ROCstar donors in a 2-hour time period. But that doesn't meant there aren't any bonuses to win. Every hour one lucky...

Strange - the clock on the ROC site is on Central time on my computer - an hour more away from an Eastern 12 midnight start time. I wonder if I have to wait an extra hour...
