Summer is here and so is something that I haven't had for almost the entire year: time. With more time, there's more Diablo 2 Juggernaut! I've been running these runs for the past couple months on this site and I need you guys to sign up for our runs throughout summer. Each run will probably take about 1-2 weeks, depending how much we play throughout the week. We try to find times that are available to everyone, but because some Europeans here we might have to split the runs that will make it easier for everyone. Also, if you want the main rules of the mini-game, skip down to the In-Game Rules.
Summary:
Juggernaut (sometimes called Ironman) is a mini-game to play Diablo 2: Lord of Destruction at the absolute hardest difficulty. I am not lying here, IT IS HARD and it is not meant for people who just started the game or you are getting used to it. You make a new account, so realm and ladder issues are a non issue. This requires nothing beforehand except being able to connect to battle.net and the ability to play the game at a reasonable level. You just hop on board. The main idea of Juggernaut is not only to play the game at its hardest, but to use only what the game provides you, and to use it to your full advantage. Please read the rules thoroughly and if you have any questions, please ask.
Game Requirements:
- Diablo 2: Lord of Destruction
- USWest
- HardCore

- There cannot be 2 character classes of the same type (unless it's 8 man. Talked about later)
- Each character must be Hardcore

- Wait for every player to come.
- Answer any questions.

- Don't do anything stupid. <---- I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH!
Juggernaut FAQ's:
Q: You call this ironman a lot, is that the same thing as juggernaut?
A: Ironman used to be the official name for this mini-game, but because people did not want to quest all the way, they made ironman a game where you level up until level 9, and duel. Juggernaut is now the old ironman, where you quest.
Q: On Jsp, ironman is when you level up until level 9, and duel. WTF?
A: Just like above, ironman USED to be questing, but because of time, people did not want to play it as much. So they just made it so you dueled at level 9.
Q: Will I need anything before playing this?
A: Besides the ability to make an account on Battle.net, you don't need anything before playing this.
Q: Will I need a lot of time for this?
A: Yes. You will need around 3-4 hours minimum unless we all drop dead at the Raven, which probably won't happen. So we will find a time which will work for everyone, usually being nighttime.
Q: I don't have Diablo 2: LoD! WTF?!?!?
A: If you still have your CD-Key, Blizzard let's you download their games off of www.battle.net Go on that site and put in your CD-key and down load the game. If you don't then that's too bad. No juggernaut for you!
Q: I came late on the day of the juggernaut. What do I do?
A: Due to the fact that the time has been up for a week and you signed up for it with plenty of time to ask me to move the time so you can participate in this event, if you miss it, you will have to sign up for the next week's run. We will not wait for you. If it says 7 pm PST, then it means that time. If you are late 15 minutes, that is reasonable. But anything beyond that is ridiculous.
Q: So it's the middle of the run, and I have to go. What happens?
A: It really depends. If we are killing everything in the Den of Evil, and you have to leave to Japan, we won't wait for you and just continue onward. However, if it is a in depth juggernaut and we have been playing for a while, we respect that real life comes first and the game second. We will stop for you, and arrange a time later.
Q: What happens if we don't finish the juggernaut run in one day?
A: An arrangement of time will be set that will fit all the surviving members to continue that run. We hope to finish all the runs we do, and not forget about them.
So let me know if you guys are interested. THIS WILL TAKE SOME TIME, so keep that in mind. We would do it at a time where everyone is happy since I know a lot of people are busy.

Lt. Venom and Flobberboggin are consistent players who can vouch this mini-game (and will probably play it). If you guys need a second voice, as them. And anything they tell you about my personal life isn't true
I can play but we need to get players grouped by timezone because I still work full time and still need to get up at 5:30 every morning. I also need to get in shape so when I go on a cruise next April, the ladies will be looking at me.
So you may have time but, I don't have much spare time.

A cookie to whomever can find out what my name means. In today's English translation. I will not be on during Tuesday which should be a fun day at the dentist's office getting my wisdom teeth removed.

Damn we're 15 hours apart. This is why we will need to clan this type of activity, so that people within 5 hour timezones of each other can play.
I would prefer to have it set up so that it's within three hours, but then it would be difficult to play with somebody from Germany or Russia. This will take a lot of planning to implement though so I would wait till we have a fuck ton of people on board.
Side Note: It's not the pain but the damn swelling that sucks ass when getting a wisdom tooth removed. I can't eat anything and can barely drink. Better be fucking gone by Friday.
