    Turbine Staff has more stamina than I thought.

    According the latest news item on the launcher, Turbine is hosting a party at PAX East. The party is scheduled to last (wait for it)...

    "From 8:30 PM until 12:30 PM"

    By my reckoning that's a 16 hour party. Those Turbinites are *tough*.

    We are! But you guys are only invited to the first 4 hours. The other 12 hours is a massive after party at an undisclosed location that will involve many tacos.

    Shouldn't that be "Vitality"?

    Or perhaps Out of Combat (or better yet: In-combat) Morale and Power regeneration.

    Cool

    Why are people so quick to point out other people's faults and mistakes??

    I think the OP was just poking some fun. Plus hours and hours of tacos sounds like a smelly affair.

    'Tacos'

    Is that what you call it at the office?

    I hate to bust your balloons, guys, but 12:30 PM is half an hour after NOON.

    Happy partying, those who will be there.

    I'll never understand how 11am is followed by 12pm followed by 1pm ...

    I don't think it's a formal definition, but the way I think about it is that noon should be just 12 M (for Meridian, because if you use actual Sun time, that's when the Sun crosses the meridian). That logically makes midnight 12 ante-meridian, and--by extension--if you *don't* want to use "12 M", noon must be 12 PM.

    I generally try to remove potential confusion by either specifying noon (or midnight) or offsetting the time from noon/midnight just a bit...such as 12:05 PM or 11:55 AM.

    And a hat-tip to Sapience who took my initial remarks in the spirit in which they were meant.

    The only question that remains for those who are in a position to go to the party is...does it start at 8:30 AM (odd time for a party, but not impossible), or is it an evening party that ends at 12:30 AM.

    The question I have is: Is this Undisclosed location down the road from your old Office Complex? If it is, it made some great tacos!
