Viral Month Has Begun!

    Get infected throughout February

    It's here...

    As I'm sure most of you have noticed from the new header, TA's first, highly contagious Community Event has started, with the next four weeks dedicated to spreading viral achievements!

    As previously detailed, the whole of February is being devoted to this cause, with hundreds of community gaming sessions in the pipeline for everyone to get involved with. You can take a peek at some of the sessions that have already been set up by checking either the purple sessions on the Gaming Sessions page, or by checking the officially official Community Events Sessions page.

    Every community session has a specific host, be it a friendly TA'er who has offered to help spread their viral achievements; a "Special Infected" like the EA moderators needed for certain virals, for example; or a "Mystery Infected" ... but you'll have to wait and see for those ones (though mystery hosted sessions are highlighted on the Community Sessions page!).

    There's still time to offer to host viral sessions - check out the VIRAL MONTH: How To Volunteer to share your germs thread for more details on how to do exactly that. The more sessions the better, so please get involved and offer to host some sessions if you've got virals to spread!

    Along with the new event-specific header image, there's also a Viral Achievements Counter on the homepage where you can see how many virals have been spread already.

    There's also this handy link that lists all of the viral achievements applicable for this event.

    There's so many sessions being created every day, so keep checking the sessions pages to find the ones for virals you need! Everyone, get involved and get infected! smile

    Remember - most viral achievements are contagious. So once you have got it, you can help spread it!

    This is a tremendous idea. Would be great to see more themed community events like this over the coming months.

    The times listed on the calendar will be in whatever time zone you have your profile set to. It might say 13:00 for you, but will be, for example 14:00 for someone in a different time zone. All times on your calendar will always reflect what time zone you have set in your profile settings, so make sure it's set correctly.

    They will be in your determined time zone.

    If you have the incorrect time zone you can change it here: My Settings

    The viral logo on the page now is pretty sweet, just thought i'd throw that out there. I'll likely be joining any PGR4 sessions myself to get the chieves, then spread them on

    I want to be part of this, but I need help setting it up. I know I have to email Chad and Jessie at the given gmail address and type in all the info of when I'm available and so forth, but I have no idea how to show what achievements I want to give. Obviously my "copy and pasting" from the My Achievements is not working and I'm too computer illiterate to figure out how to add the link to the email like everyone is doing. Any help anyone?

    Look for me tonight at 10:30pm Est and I'll give it to you. I have 2 other guys who need it, but when I tell them about that time they never get in touch with me. Maybe they will read this and show up and we can have a little session with the 4 of us.
