You can see here, when the convoy is gonna take place, in your time zone

If convoy on 19 December then its good cuz my birthday on 19 December

Hi, anyone knows why i can't create an account in TruckersMP?
everything is set to public, but still can't create an account.
Probably, Steam API trouble
i just have paid €12 to the RSPCA uwu
@mortal juniper

Nice, I get my payday soon so a donation will be coming from me.

is the convoy using promods or none?
Base game, no promods
https://truckersmp.com/blog/236 to check the routes

This will be added to TruckersMP closer to the event date, and available to purchase for any of your non-DLC box trailers.
Do you need to use it to join the comvoy

@deep crypt your pfp is very nice, i like it, can you please send me
I have questions for the team of ats is their going be snow on the sever
Maybe 
Ok I was wondering
Hi, I was wondering if any convoys would like an escort driver.
Im willing to drive long distance
If you want to drive long distance jobs, I recommend you not to take part of the convoy unless you want to do the job in the same route and the same destination.
I bet white lodge will be writing a long poem with hints in it to make our minds go haywire
For the activities
Just to make it unique experience for us

When is the convoy
This saturday 
Niceee
First route starts at 09:00 UTC with the entire event lasting 12 hours
What time would be 9 UTC for EST. Also is that AM/PM
9AM UTC
You can see when the convoy is going to start in your zone by having a look at this link:
https://notime.zone/MNwtu0ZrXEZj1
i have made a schedule of live for this one lol.
@tardy light if there’s drag racing, you’re about to go down

Türk Varmı Bi Convoy Yapalım
English only please
@tardy light if there’s drag racing, you’re about to go down :Wesh:
@hoary phoenix
Not in My Iveco
You're about to go down
Down to a pint of petrol
I doubt that good sir, I have a Mercedes Benz waiting for you at the end 
I found a Scania Dealership in Aberdeen
Gonna customize a lorry that'll beat you into smithereens
Fat chance
I’ve got special trucks up my sleeve and a steering wheel ready to go!
6 speed or 12 speed
I have keyboard and mouse
I can beat u in a race in the circuit for sure
Doubt that savage, I’m a good racer my guy 
I've been playing with kb and mouse since October
I'm fine with what i have atm
I’ve had a steering wheel since October too, racked up enough hours to know my way around it all
I’ve also been to the race track in ets2, I flew round it
Dm me the location on the map
We meet there in 10
I’m not loading the pc up at 6 in the morning 
Okay
hi
#feelsbadman
Then you did smth wrong
You can always play singleplayer
The only thing you can do, is creating a ban appeal on our website. There is nothing you can do about this ban on our Discord server.

That's unfortunate then but nothing to discuss here.
Not for talking about bans. You can just contact the Moderator via the appeal system. I suggest you to leave them some space to breathe 🙂
I can understand this, but you should understand that you are not the only player here and also not the only one who got banned and want to play again. I recommend you to be patient and stop violating the in-game rules as well as our Discord rules. With this being said, I leave this discussion now and wish you a nice rest of the day 🙂 !
Ive been banned and im not crying about it because i deserve it
Lucas by the way, are you planning to join multiple routes or only specific ones? 🙂
@tough iris you can watch it on the truckersmp youtube channel
Well, I wish I could join multiple routes but I have to work that day. Maybe I will join 2 routes; the one in the morning and in the evening. What about you Poly? ^^
Oh no 😦 that's unlucky that you need to work. Well I will be definitely there for route 1, but for assisting and I think about joining other routes as driver 🙂 but not sure which ones yet.
maybe if I can, I will join first route and the 3 hours break one
Nice arif, maybe I see you then on route 1 🙂
@tough iris Talking about it here might not help, Just play single player and install some traffic mods
Very unlucky, yep
. But I hope to see you in route 1!
No you can't.
Then you risk to get banned forever on any account you create in the future. So I don't recommend you to try this 😉
Just appeal your ban as you got told before, discussing it here won't lead you to anything.
😄
I highly recommend you to have a look on our #discord-rules 🙂
Yes
No
You can, but you need to do it in the correct channel 🙂 . If you want to get access to the language channels, you need to follow the steps from the #578548720077897729 channel first. If you have any further questions, I suggest you to head over to the #support channel as this channel is only for conversations about the upcoming christmas convoy
Exactly
You're welcome!
I recommend you to ask that in your next appeal since I doubt that he will answer you on Discord
oof

did the snow working on multiplayer?
TruckersMP does not support Winter Mod at the moment.
Usually, we support season modifications on the "official" start day of the season. For winter, this would be December 21st.
Ok thanks a lot!
almost prefect timing for me
yes
welp, anyone wanna form a few person vc for the convoy? aussie timed, but if theres a couple people who wanna chat while we do a few of the convoys that'd be dope
Depends on which routes you're going for since it starts at 7pm for you right?
If there are any more riddles for the Activities track I'll gladly try to unlock them :D
Why do you think pinging him will change anything?
And this channel doesn't seem like the right channel to tell that 
@icy forge
Hey, do you have an idea where is a good place to park for the first route before hand? To get at least the front of the said convoy?
Idek what the first route is, I forgot the route lmao
Dortmund-Calias
Not going the CD route
But on the highway
Highway and country roads
Like near the exit of the city
I want to be near the front
I don't really think you can get in front when the convoy is already going on, unless someone let you in
Other route is Dover-Glasgow or something
Nvm
I'll figure a good spot to park at
Does it have to be within city limits or a little outside?
Just drive the speed limit like the other drivers
Best place to start is within the city
Then people will leave accordingly.
@tardy light 20-70km in a convoy? that will get you kicked out. I though the rules were to follow the posted speed limit with adequate spacing?
How often will the convoy be doing 90?
In TMP convoys I’ve never been that fast most apart from a couple times
Got up to 120 once, but that was for 5 seconds
Go as fast as you can as long as you're driving safe and no overtaking
@neat topaz I thought it was against the rules to go over the limits
Not on event servers I believe
It isn’t in any server unless it’s speed hacking I believe
does rspca = no eating animals or eating animals that were treated good before they got killed?
Not sure what you mean
the organization people are donating to in this convoy
The RSPCA which TMP are donating to is basically the UK animal rescue service
Well England and Wales
but does that mean no eating animals at all, or eating animals that were treated good before they got killed?
like the thing rspca supports
RSPCA is a animal rescue service, not a campaign as far as I’m aware
Apart from being against mistreatment of animals
Correct It protects animals being harmed by owners
Or helping wild animals live if injured
Oh
Okay
I think everyone wants animals to be treated well before slaughter. But no RSPCA nor any SPCA(Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) is not vegan advocacy groups.
You are thinking of PETA, a cult like hypocritical organization that uses modern day slavery to generates millions of dollars for the top members of the pyramid, including the president who relies on insulin (an animal biproduct) to live, that "promotes" veganism while being the biggest killer of pets in the world
SPCAs in many countries are also pseudo law enforcement agencies which actually employ peace officers to enforce animal cruelty laws.


what part did you not understand?
I just disagree with parts of what you said 
what part?
I do not want to start a political discussion with you here.
Our official position/explanation is this:
PETA is an activist, animals rights organization with a political agenda while the RSPCA can be compared to the ASPCA (USA). They are kind-of-official organizations that do more practical things such as running shelters and put animals up for adoption.
except 1 thing. all PETA "shelters" are kill shelters that put down more animals than they put up for adoption.
I live in Western Canada and every animal protection group out here races to the few "PETA shelters" to take the rescues before PETA kills them.
PETA is NOTHING close to any SPCA on earth.
Did I say that?
Pets is just bs they kill most of the living they "save" while they cry about every single thing online if i pull my dogs leash and one of them sees it i will forever be called a cruel beast that wants to kill innocent animals and they will try to take the dog away from me
They are like a joke that wasnt even that good but it got really out of hand
yes exactly. SPCA will lay animal cruelty charges on people while PETA will film it and ask for "donations" BIG difference. One has a agenda to get rich (almost entirely through the use of "volunteers") while the other is actually enforcing laws and making a difference.
Peta puts up a reeeeaaallyy different side on social
Everytime someone brings up PETA, I point to the hypocrisy of that fake organization. Best quote from them (MaryBeth Sweetland) “I’m an insulin-dependent diabetic. Twice a day I take synthetically manufactured insulin that still contains some animal products — and I have no qualms about it … I’m not going to take the chance of killing myself by not taking insulin. I don’t see myself as a hypocrite. I need my life to fight for the rights of animals.”
So as long as animal biproducts keep the PETA heads alive, its ok. for everyone else, they want animal biproducts banned.
When’s the Christmas convoy in ATS
There is no official one this year, unfortunately.
🥺
But there is one for ETS2 on Friday :D
12 long hours with breaks in-between with 3 hours of drag racing/Circuit course/ and other fun activities to do @cosmic flame
4 long routes
Y'all think this is enough for the 12 hour convoy?
1 Bang for each 2 hour route
And gonna get a Nos or 2 for the Activities. Also going to buy some snacks and a breakfast/lunch to eat
Kinda important doing a convoy for half a day.
Merry Christmas!
What are y'all gonna eat/drink during this MEGA convoy through Europe?
( Hope y'all don't mind this admins/mods ) ( If there's a problem, please dm me then I'll cooperate whatever way possible :) )
Nice! 😄
I'll be eating biscuits in the way 
What kind of biscuits?
The one you make or like cookies or something?
And what flavor is it?
Sarah, what are you gonna eat and drink during this convoy if you're attending it
I am only going to be attending two of the routes, and possibly the activities.
Hope my PC can make it through, I will go with 50% scaling there 
I would need to restart my laptop after each route
I'll be at the front if I position myself at a good point
I see
Cause Route 1 is at 07:30pm for me, Route 2 is at 10:00PM, and activites start at 12:30AM for me, so they're the only ones I thought of at this point.
👌
So, I'm guessing you're going to eating biscuits like Daksheeboy and drinking plenty of water?
During the duration of your time of the convoy?
Nah, I don't know yet LOL
I wish I can attend atleast 3 routes
The convoy for me lasts from 03:00-13:00 since I live in the US Houston time zone since I live in Texas
That's why I'm going to get the energy drinks and Breakfast/Lunch
I hope that you'll find the stuff you need for the convoy Sarah
Also, what time zone do you reside in? UTC?
Nah, ACDT/ACST (depending on daylight time)
So right now, considering it's ACDT, it's 4:13PM
I wish I can attend atleast 3 routes
F for respects
Hey, why won't we be together for the first route if you don't mind to keep ya company
I'll be through all 12 hours
My mom approved of me for the whole convoy
Buying the rest of the snacks myself
I can record the activities for you and post it on my steam acc.
So you can see what happened from my POV
Also, what lorry r u going to use
So right now, considering it's ACDT, it's 4:13PM
Well, however long you're in the convoy either it's 2 or 3 routes
The main thing is to have fun and explore with 4-6k people across Europe :D
I'll be attending the first 2 routes and hope along with the activities,
I will be taking my MB Actros because I haven't taken it to any convoy lately
Okay, the first route is from Dortmund-Calias taking the long route
I'll be in SIM 1 making sure I have everything half an hour before the convoy positioning myself at an accurate location to be at least the top 100-500 people
Also, thats a good lorry
Mercedes Benz Actros Großtrotter?
lmao
The thing is I am confused where to join from, either a direct teleport or directly invading Dortmund and taking a place
I would reccomend you doing the same for the first convoy
Position yourself near the front
So it's not like Dusiburg traffic or the Halloween convoy ( I positioned myself in the middle )
I see
Okay, so
You see the red line right above the green dot? Park just a tad above there to be near the front ( where I'll be at in my Scania )
If you want to be in the middle you can
This is a suggestion if you want to take it
If you just want to be by yourself in the convoy sure
If You're having fun then that's a good thing
And I do want you to have a lot of fun during this convoy on Saturday :D
Also, just noticed the ending is gonna be at the Calias Port xD
Just very happy for Samstag
When it comes
I'll be prepared
I'm gonna cruise during the convoy
Listening to country and having a Good time
Whenever we do a San Deigo-Key West Convoy imma be playing country the whole way because it's the US and I've been in most of the southern states ( except for California )

Dead chat
Oof
It's okay
i need to make sure i survive the convoy
we all need to survive it
Ill die due to boredom 
I've asked before, but no real straight answer. how is everyone in the convoy going to get a job that is dortmund to calais?
No one does that.
TMP wants you to use a own trailer with the paintjob of RSPCA to show support.
This one:
oh ok. so just empty trailers. gotcha
how much are they going to be? roughly..i have a new profile on mp
You can use a workshop mod to cheat money or save edit.
Hello! Can anyone tell me how I can install my winter mode?
Hey, TruckersMP does not support a winter mod at the moment 🙂 .
Ok,thanks!
@tough iris I seem to remember someone saying the 21st December that they will support it👍
@tough iris Ok, thank you very much!
so when winter mod has been suported?
But, will there be any snowy roads?
Please read the message above for questions regarding the Winter Mod. This is everything we know.
uff....
Thanks for these infos
Highly unlikely 
luckily, snowy road would be like oof

So... winter mod when? 
❄️
21st of December
the worst convoy. Christmas convoy without snow xd
Who knows that there won't be snow in the convoy
australians won't see any difference xD
....
WhiteHorse riddles be like: Juan

If there are any riddles or clues within Thursday and Friday I will gladly try my hardest to answer them
For the 3 hour activities thing

Well, atleast we get a TMP convoy though
Better than nothing
Christmas doesn't mean that there is snow on the ground
Is, or when will the RSPCA paintjob be availabe?
It'll probably be available ln Friday/Saturday/Sunday
Hello guys im new here 👋
I have a question, when is the Christmas-Convoi and where does it start ?
You can find all relevant information in the pinned messages of this channel 🙂
Thank you very much for this Information 😊 👌
You're welcome 😉
it means for a lot of people
christmas without snow are bad, in Poland *there where i'm from) i since 5 years i have never seen snow on christmas Eve
We don't know that 😉
what you don't know?
If you have never seen snow on Christmas eve, why is it such a big deal then
bcs for 7 days are christmas, and if i don't see snow in real life, i want to see snow in games 😉
It is not even winter yet in reallife, so just be patient and keep an eye on our announcements 🙂
it is tho its december
Winter starts in 21st of December
irl its from 1st december to end of february
You should google it. The astronomical winter does not start on 01.12.
ok
So, since the NW part of Dörtmund has no shoulder, for the convoy set up do we have to park in the city area or can we park on the side of the road?
Heading West toward Duisburg
Pictures for reference
Wanna park my lorry in a good spot where I won't get bonked
Like ahead of the road is this
I just want to make sure
Not going to use this trailer for the convoy
You can park and wait whereever you want, as long as it is safe.
Im going to choose this spot by the Man dealership
Gonna remove the trailer and slap a new one on for RSPCA
who changed the calendar and science of the universe??
i saw the message dont worry
Nobody?
the solstice has always been that, I too thought it was from December to February
what are you guys smoking/inhaling?
nope
Air
78% nitrogen, 20% oxygen and 1% other gases
that 1% is Fart
Lets just hope we get an update or version we can rollback to for the event 🤞
What times the event at?
19th 9am UTC
thats in about a day im guessing
Just under 48 hours
I see
what svr is it on?
There should be a special server for it, as with every TMP event
the developers will think of something by then
either they'll have fixed the issue, or they'll run the event server on an old version
Since this isn’t a complete change of version, I’m going to estimate a few days
how long does it usually take for TMP to update?
this isn't even a new major though, so it might not even take days
My new guess is that they can get it just in time for the convoy
Just think about it... there is an event where they want snow. So it will be wintermodready on saturday. (my opinion)
any trailer available to buy?
Has it been or not and if there is no information to do so?
The trailer paint job will be added before the convoy. You can apply the paint job to any owned box trailer.
any dlcs required for christmas convoy?
No MAP extension dlcs required
Yeet
Well, just gotta be good at driving and be aware
@snow whale
Curious question answer whenever possible:
What are you eating/drinking during the convoy?
when is this???
It's pinned 😉

Probably Mate if I can buy it before. And probably Cereal at some point. Or Pizza
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Thanks alot for making this!!!
GG
Pog I would as well ngl

Can't wait for the convoy 
My schedule changed and I'm going to miss the whole thing .-.
Oof
I could wake up 2 hours before my shift and catch part of the convoy but I don't think thats going to happen
what day?
i though so...i saw rib say it was tomorrow, but he's doing his own
I'll probably do the last one because the other ones are pretty early like 4 am
im gonna prob gonna try and push through all of them i haven't done a convoy in a while ive done a few of the longer convoys on like 3 hrs of sleep
still waiting for the paint lols
They should be coming a few hours before the convoy
Or late Friday
Tommarow is gonna be a long day for me
Waiting and sleeping early for the convoy then get up at 0300 :thisisfine:
ik
nice truck
😄
When's the Christmas convoy?
what time does the event server open?
at pizzatime
Is this in ETS2 or ATS
The convoy is in ETS 2
Where is the convoy
On the road hopefully
You can check the pinned messages for further information
There will be a new server for the event right?
Yep
tty
Was wondering if anyone would like to join me for the convoys tomorrow? Gonna be doing the full 12-hours and would like some company 🙂
truck all ready for tommmorow 🙂
im gonna attempt to do all 12hrs got my truck parked in Dortmond
where abouts does it start it dortmond?
i mean Dortmund lol
lol
@smoky sparrow What sort of trailer are you using?
Insulated
Do you mean isolated?
Never heard of a isolated trailer
Very nice! Make sure it has fuel.
@strange vessel wait, did I read that correctly? Did you just ask if anyone would join you on the convoy ?
thanks man
9 UTC is 10 am in Germany, right?
9 UTC is 10 am in Germany, right?
@tender pond
Ja
Danke 😄 🙏
@cerulean pilot Yes indeed, would you be interested in joining me tomorrow?
Ideally I don't want any squeakers and if your from the UK it's a plus with timezones 🙂
are the rspca trailers added or not yet?
@visual saffron They will be on the event server tomorrow
ok thanks. also, is it necessary to use them, or are they optional?
I think optional
Try to use them
ok thanks
so right now there are no options to purchase any world of trucks trailers right? my game crashes when i select that option.
Correct
Gifts
gifts
What are you guys gonna do to help your PC breathe in the convoy?
freezing? its 12 degrees in london. try -24 here in my part of Canada. and this a warmer area at the moment
It’s 1 degrees in Scotland
which would be a warm day in Canada right now! UK knows nothing of freezing weather 😉
At one point last winter there was a 64 degree (Celsius!) difference between where I was, and a buddy in the UAE
I can’t really bear UAE temperatures
If you go further up north, -10 is possible here lol
Still not much compared to Iceland
iceland??? ha.. that's a temperate climate compared to Canada! They somehow avoid the arctic weather patterns that seem to just love to dump into Canada. I'm guessing all the geothermal activity there also helps to insulate them
all parked up ready for tommorow see you guys on the road
Whens the convoy?
It's in the pins 😉
What about Longyearbyen lol
convoy starts at 2am for me and im gonna try and push all 4 routes
@tribal tapir still warmer than most Canadian cities!
@hardy raptor yes there is. started yesterday. delivery of gifts throughout the map. personal goal is 15 deliveries but we will also get community goals.
Think I need to visit Canada at one point
Same but the convoy for me starts at 3 am lol
You're in MDT timezone
I live in Texas
I think u live in the Mountain states
I'll see you for all 4 routes
Drinking Monster and eating protein bars xD
Luckily for me, I’m in Europe so I won’t have that many problems
im in Alberta Canada
Oh

Noice
Will the convoy have over 5000 people?
The max amount of people in 1 server
Would imagine so at 7PM European time
Well
Theres 12k people on atm
they will have a special event server
I know
I've been in the Halloween convoy 2 months ago
I think they'll have 5-7k people in one server separate from the rest
Real ops can easily fill the server to 3,000 so they may as well as use a large server
well guess imma lay down watch a movie and have an old man nap to rest up for the convoy
So tommorow be snow on convoy or not?
No idea
So tommorow be snow on convoy or not?
@graceful badger
It's plausible
But like with Cyberpunk 2077 where they released it with bugs and such I think it'll be a few more dayd before the snow mod comes out
Bugs because stupid people won't stop hoarding them and wait patiently
Okay thanks for answer
Okay thanks

Alarm set for 6.30am tomorrow
I will join at whenever I’m awake
i will be in dortmund at the service station waiting got the massive amount of lag XD
where is tthe convoy server?
No there yet, you'll be able to join in due time before the convoy starts
gn everyone see you tommorow
The server will be open at 07:00 UTC
parked up in dortmund service chillin, hope they release the trailer paint job soon
can't wait just waiting for the paint job
0700 thats about 12 am for me lol
Stil 7.7k players online
If all of them try to download the update at the same time, it's going to take ages for everyone to download the update. We usually push updates when there are less players.
ah well thats very earlier haha managed to book the day of work for tomorrow as well
what update are they downloading? the SCS cabin update?
Because the update has not been pushed yet. You will know when the update is being pushed due to the fact that it will have you update it via the launcher.
its the update for the paint job for the convoy
probably will get pushed couple hrs before convoy
Hopefully earlier than that, I would say.
okay
what time uk does it start?
Wait, i thought u left this server last night or something
0900
I maybe wrong
Ok
9am in the UK it starts server opens at 7am
Starts at 9AM UTC.
Small error 
I thought this year we would have to go to the mod creators website?
in order to get the mod
What mod are you talking about, @cinder brook ?
Winter mod
Yes, you do. You can see it here in #announcements 🙂
Ah okay.
i have the base and physics do i also download heavy winter?
ima just do it anyways
You can if you want. It is entirely up to you.
cant wait to drift again lmao
Thank you Phon and everyone that made this year possible for everyone
how long per interval? do i have to come with it all?
because i have to go before 16:00 GMT which means 0am to me
gonna use winter mod on convoy oh boy this will be interesting
it some what looks like a smiling face lol
What are y'alls setup for the convoy?
Yes this is my "gaming chair"
Can't afford one atm so I use a pillow on top of a chair
It's adjustable

👍
Raymond
What's your setup? With drinks and snacks you're gonna munch on for tomorrow
Quick question. Is the RSPCA paint job available yet or will that be closer to the time?
Closer to the time.
Ah okay, thanks :D
@opal wraith its late, go sleep 
My setup for convoy ft desktop photo from Harvest 2020
Looks good. Are you looking forward to the event? 🙂
staying up all night its 9:30pm event starts at 3am for me
last christmas convoy i did was 2016
Driving tired are actually one of the worst things you can do
Im gonna push as many routes as i can lol
I haven't slept yet and don't plan to. 
I'm looking forward to the convoy as it will be my first
Nice, hope you enjoy it
I'm a seasonal farm equipment operator and ive done 20 hr days lol so i can hack it
plus i had an afternoon nap for a couple hrs lol
Also going back to setups, this is mine for the convoy
Have you looked in front of you in-game @craggy pike? 😉
Oh no, the cops xd
Me and my bros are ready for the convoy, hyped
Driving tired are actually one of the worst things you can do
@ocean flame
Currently 22:56 and the convoy starts at 0300
Can't sleep
Trying to sleep for the past 20 minutes
Rip me
So
I'm oofed

Yea I struggled to sleep as well so getting the winter mod on the go 
Are you able to link me the winter mod?
Ah okay, thanks :D
Rip sleep
What city are we starting in for Route 1?
Dortmund
Is winter mod laggy?
No, but it's inconvenient, always spinning left and right
Oh
Same here
I will go with 25% scaling there ofc 
I use 200% with a R5-2600 and a 1660Super
I attended STC and it lagged like crazy, but it worked
Oh
Like thing is I am not worrying about FPS, what I am worried about is the lag spikes
Estimated 200 people ~~ lots of lag
Ye lmak
I'll be doing the whole convoy
All 12 hours
Especially with my WiFi
Also
I think the Activities will be at
SILVERSTONE
Where's silverstone?
Towcester NN12 8TN, United Kingdom
Here
I can't screenshot it cuz I ran outta room on my phone xD
oh lol
I don't know
btww in sever what?
It will be it's own server that won't be available till closer to the time
icant use winter mod
why
I will but idk if to use just the base or heavy snow as well
oh ok
i think winter mod physics are a tiny bit buggy
when you brake fully and turn a bit it flings you
then what's the difference with the frosty winter mod
in here will open in 4pm Indonesia time
The frosty winter mod changes the environment to be snowy and changes the physics to make the roads more slippery
However I'm not using the physics so it will just look snowy for me
It's all good :D
@craggy pike it doesnt change the physics unless you download the option physics addon
the convoy is made in the base map i suppose, not in promods
Ye
and yes base map as they do Official Convoys to make them open to all players and so as to not exclude the ones that do not have the DLCs
i need one of them toilet chairs for convoys dont have to get up to do buisness
I just realized that I should worry about player amounts- I mean the halloween convoy was pretty big but I Don't remember lagging too bad at the end so hopefully I should be good
just be ready to join asap and dont leave or u might not get back in
i need one of them toilet chairs for convoys dont have to get up to do buisness
@mint bluff don’t you have piss jugs laying around?
Any bets on when the first crash/ban will happen? I’m thinking within the first minute
Is the high capacity double trailer allowed? or just the bi train?
You dont think someone off the start will crash?
I'm watching anime until the convoy starts..
I'm watching lot lizzard porn
any knows something about that?
and maybe I'm just back because fps will drop in the front or the center of the convoy
gtx 970 can what? in calais in low only gott 16 fps if 90 near you
i got empty powerade bottles lol
the rules says: you should not exceed two (2) trailers, but is 2 bi-train only or high capacity too
make it simple and haul short trailer
i am only use 1 trailer
im just hauling empty trailer with paint job
same that's what I do for convoys
I think its 25 tons total trailer weight
cause I don't understand save editing tbh so I just do an empty trailer
same
certain countries can only take certain trailer types
so im just sticking with a straight trailer
I'm using the standard box trailer with the RSPCA paint job and that's it
theres a rspca paint job?
yes but its no need save editing, pick up a double trailer in helsinki for example, pick up a load and use the console to travel any city and do f9, all of this in singleplayer, save your game and enter in truckersmp
same
Yes
There will be
they should have released it by now
unless its only avilable on the event server
anyone gonna be in the discord event channels?
It will most likely be released when the server gets released
Hello picky
Hey Zir 
How are you
I’m great! How are you doing? Looking forward to the convoy?
And I was really hoping there was a ProMods Serbia convoy..
I'm good, and yes I am!
Guys I'd get on the servers the soon they open as itll fill up quickly and there may be a repeat of what happened at halloween, so do not go to the F7 shop
Took me 90 minutes to leave
I'm gonna load in 30min prior, I was just in ProMods
You’d expect that when there’s over 1000 people attending the convoy 
Is there an eta of when the server will be up or do we just have to play it by ear?
True, I'm not saying it's your fault and flying in the air but landing like a cat was fun
I went 50ft in the air and only got 3% damage to my truck
Atleast you landed on your wheels 
Ye
Probably about an hour or two before the first route
just wanna know, how can i add a paint?
Ah okay, sounds good
I'm trying to find some anime openings I can bop to while driving
for the christmas paint
Once it's available, you just buy it like any other paint job
okay
server is up get in here skin is out aswell
The server is currently closed. We will update you once we put it back on. 
rip
Oh .. welp
i was in top 10 😦
Are there any staffers where I can ask for information?
The server is back up, thank you!
What do you need help with?
I wanted to participate but I have poor game quality so I will have a framerate of 14 fps. Is it possible to participate anyway?
Yeah, it will be possible to participate. Everyone will be facing FPS drop at the start and end of the convoy due to the sheer amount of players in one location. You’ll be apple to stay toward the back of the convoy if you feel it will help you 
Pickymeen 
okay, the important thing is that I don't do any damage during the trip 😅
Just keep some safe distance
👍
If it’s starting now I can’t join I would love to but my sleep is more important lol
I will literally ensure social distancing there if needed
And if you’re using the frost mod with the winter physics mod too. just be extra careful
I'm so tempted to use the physics mod 
Rip sleep
Picky will you be there for all routes?
can i remove the winter physics?
Just woke up after 5 minutes of sleep
The usual
Yes you can
You can remove it, it's optional
If you haven’t downloaded the mods, then it won’t affect you 🙂
Unfortunately not
I’m stuck in work till 5:30 so hoping to make half of route 3 but will be there for route 4
See you then Pickymeen 
sad 
Can we use retarders during the convoy?
Yes
Yep
Nice
The real challenge is to not be yeeted 
Sadly I won't install winter mod, will take too much time to download lmao
Well yes
Go for the bundle
the cruising of the convoi will be 80km/h?
Oh hey Daksheeboy
Depends, not necessarily and highly unlikely
oh no
I believe we've met at the Germany/France border
I'll see you on route 2 & 3 
I was with Strad
No, route 1-2-3-4
Now
It was another Sparkie
Oh
Cya
And, will u be doing the activities
Dm me when you're about to head out
I can't 
Guess I will join Now
Booo!
I'm with a couple friends at an arcade rn 
1 hour 20 till the convoy starts
Sounds boring 
No plans to go home anytime soon 
Quit judging 
This is the plan Strad, this is the plan.
wait its start now?
That is part of my true tag 
I'll see you when I see you Cupra, let me join uour VC 
Cupra, so u voice chatting with one of ya mates while I vc with Zir correct? I'm fine with that anyways

Oh so your name is SavageTexas, no wonder I got confused xD
@tardy light Hold my Beer 
Are we talking in vc btw or not?
I know i'm stupid
who the convoy leader?
its seems very impossible by me to attend the special TMP christmas convoy since my internet has been outage for almost 63 hours 
Not me
Lol
indihome? XD
Play in windowed mode
I'll give that a try :D
where do we start the first route?
In Dortmund
ok
Oh it was where not when xd
xdd
I might be late for the start as I am still in Calais xd
It seems you’re already at the finish 
Indeed I am
Bruh I'd be dead in that situation
First ban of the day
Stay safe! 🙃
Remember guys, if you’re using the Winter Physics mod. Be careful! Take your time, we don’t want any accidents 
Ok 🙂
it would be cool if the winter mod added some chain accessory to tires
Remember guys, if you’re using the Winter Physics mod. Be careful! Take your time, we don’t want any accidents
I'm not using it
Ill be careful nonetheless
On what server will the convoy happen on?
Extra Server
I lagged the second I got to the city and that was enough for the server to kick me due to poor connection :C
Until when is the convoy gonna take.
Wait you guys are on allready?
where we starting
Dortmund
Dortmund
Ok
How long is tge convoy gonna take?
0.00001 fps lol; I think winter physic is no good for now
It depends roughly 2 hours per a route with a 30 minute break between routes 🙂 @dusky shard
server is truckermp christmas?
yes
if every trip we take a half hour break, what will we do at 3pm activities?
You’ll get more information on this closer to the time from the Event Team/Managers in game. But as stated in the blog post *** With 3 hours in the middle for a break and to enjoy a brand new specially created event location including: a race circuit, drag strip and event challenges not seen before on TruckersMP!***
What time are we leaving?
which server is the event on?
I believe the event one
the one that has "christmas" in the name?
Yes^
ok thanks
Have fun!
wot? my messagge
Convoy time?
aaahhhhhhhh. it will be nice to participate, but if we are all gathered in one area, whoever manages to keep a good frame will win
Convoy time?
The Sever will be at the bottom of the list. “TruckersMP Christmas”
Should be departing anytime now for route 1
All the information about the convoy can be found in #official-events (pinned messages)
Where does route 1 start
Here you can find all the routes: https://truckersmp.com/blog/236
They’ll be in Dortmund
okay thx
Its kick simulator atm I haven't even left yet admins should have blocked the parking lots off and let each empty 1 by 1
is the convoy 1 trailer limit?
No all depends on county
For Euro Truck Simulator 2; you should not exceed two (2) trailers
cheers, just hadn't seen anyone with more than one trailer
Ive seen a few with 2
Im at the bus station and i cant leave cause people are just bombarding out like the logistics here are so bad
have it started???
Just keep an eye out for Events Team instructions
Ya but its a mess lol
where is all?
Dortmund
Event server in dortmund
wich server?
theres an event server if you scroll all the way down when you're picking servers
TruckersMP Christmas. It will be at the bottom of the list
ok
have the pople started moving from dortmund?
nopr
Some have
Admins should be blocking intersections and letting areas clear out one by one would be so much efficient
Just need to be patient. With over 600 people on the server it’s a tough task getting everyone into a convoy
Oh I know but it gets frustrating from experience in previous convoys
frames per second has become frames per year on my pc 😦
Event Team and Admins should already be blocking some roads ensuring a smooth and efficient departure. They will only leave those spots if the CC spots that they are in need covering at that moment
The bus station road should be blocked from the left side
Cause its making it hard for bus station to leave
When we starting to drive to calais?
The convoys departing now from Dortmund
Server restart?
ok
i think so
dude my frames
Server is restarting
"Unfortunately we have to do a server restart due to technical issues" - Whitelodge
