I don't think there's an order - but it might be worth looking into it. --  Random Time  15:06, July 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * This is partially out of curiosity of a pattern and partially so I can copy paste the old texts into the current announcements article in the future. Unlike the archives page this one is sortable by title, to make looking up past weekends even easier.&rarr; Qelsi710  [[Image:Qelsi_Qompas_sig.png]] 15:07, July 21, 2010 (UTC)


 * Great idea. GWW has a complete history if you wanted to import some of that into your table for analysis.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael Diablo_the_chicken.gif 15:42, July 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * I could get our complete history out of the page history with a script if needed, just ask. -- ◄mendel► 17:11, July 21, 2010 (UTC)

PvP schedule
I'm already seeing a pattern in the PvP events. Tabulating them for 2010 so far:

Italicized dates are predictions.
 * 1) Not certain of this one, because it's really a mostly PvE event (vanquishing is much more efficient than JQ/FA or AB), but it's fitting into the PvP schedule so far this year.
 * 2) This slot alternates between Double faction in competitive missions and Double Tournament Reward Points.
 * 3) HA's "normal" slot on 2010-08-06 was taken by Codex Arena, bumping HA to the week after Double L/K points for that cycle.

Codex Arena got thrown in on 2010-04-16, between Arenas and AB, but its only other appearance was 2009-11-06, between AB and HA, so it seems to just be an oddball that they throw in whenever they feel like it. &mdash;Dr Ishmael 22:51, July 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * I also dropped all of the Special Weekends that are linked with Holidays. I felt that since they were linked to a calendar independent of a possible rotation they probably wouldn't be a pattern.&rarr; Qelsi710  [[Image:Qelsi_Qompas_sig.png]] 23:26, July 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * That makes sense. Although it seems that they usually treat festivals and such as PvE events (i.e. they'll be bracketed by two PvP events), it probably doesn't affect the rest of the hypothetical PvE rotation.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael Diablo_the_chicken.gif 19:58, July 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * Welp, they screwed my predictions up by swapping HA for CA last weekend. Seems like that one's going to show up every four months or so.   But at least I got this weekend correct with K/L faction.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael Diablo_the_chicken.gif 14:22, August 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * That's still not too bad, we'll have to see what happens with Double Faction in a couple of weeks.&rarr; Qelsi710 [[Image:Qelsi_Qompas_sig.png]] 14:34, August 11, 2010 (UTC)
