Signups for D2 REAL Ironman~

[:1]With everyone anxiously awaiting the release of Diablo 3 I thought we could get some people together to discuss in-game (Diablo 2) about this future gaming monster. What better way to kick off D3 than with new found buddies to play with.
Anyway, I'm going to start signups in this thread. I'm aiming for a Normal run-through (or as far as we can get until party disbands) within the next week. Please, only those dedicated and that are willing and have time to do this sign up only. More info about what server and exact time (depending on participants) will be given a little later today.
So without further hesitation I present:
Diablo 2 Hardcore Ironman Challenge
Can you survive?
Here are the rules copied from d2jsp.org.
1. You must make another account for this event.
2. You can only play on your ironman account with your designated ironman squad.
3. You are not allowed to play in public games, go on runs, etc. You can only play ironman games.
4. You must add every one of your ironman teammates.
5. You are not allowed to buy/repair/heal from any of the vendors from any town unless it is quest related.
6. You are not allowed to use a town portal unless it is quest related.
7. If you AFK, you must ask your teammates to stop and wait for you. You are not allowed to go back to town and you must wait in the wilderness with your teammates. Teammates must wait for him.
8. You must get all the way points in every act.
9. You must give class-specific items to the teammate of that class.
10. You must all be different classes. (In the cases of 8 players, one of you must be a different type of that class)
11. You are not allowed to leave your teammate to die or you are disqualified.
12. In the case that you are lagging and you are within a group of monsters, you can leave the game to your designated channel, where you must either rejoin immediately or wait for everyone else to leave the game.
13. It is suggested that if you don't need anything in your inventory, drop it in in town during your town visits.
14. You are allowed to use identification from Cain.
15. You are allowed to buy a merc from another town, and resurrect them if they die.
16. If you die, let others loot your corpse before you leave the game.
17. You are allowed to redo your stats/skills, but this is not to be used as an excuse to heal at a healer.
18. If you kill Baal, you must complete the difficulty by killing the Cow King and ridding all of the Moo Moo Farm.
19. If you kill Hell Baal and Cow, you then make runs within your designated team to get keys. When you get enough keys, you will get the organs to uber trist. If you still live after that, then damn.
20. Even though this is a competition, team work is required. Work as a team to get through the game.
21. All quests must be done.
22. This is played on hardcore.
Everyone willing to participate I would ask that you please have time to put aside to accomplish this, however far we may go! It's only fair to other participants. I have talked to numerous groups who have attempted this feat before, and not one has ever found it boring or a waste of time. In fact, just the opposite! One of the best gaming adventures they have ever been on!
I'll be updating with classes taken and who has signed up for what class! I'm aiming for a full party of 8 people, but will be willing to start with 5 ! So hurry and sign up if you really wanna have a great experience pre-Diablo 3 release!
Barbarian: haSu101

Extra (if needed):
Aiming to start soon!|||I would totally be down for this!
On US West or East?
Edit: Shotgun the Assassin!|||I don't have a definitive answer... probably leaning more towards east coast as it gets later for them quicker. Also please only mature and level-headed people! Again ~ signup quickly! Once the group is set it is set!|||i would love to do this, but i swore i would not play D2 again. i was taking several months of diablo celibacy so i may further enjoy the ever loving CRAP out of D3 when it gets here... also i played on west coast, so id prefer to stay there.. but i guess that doesn't really matter considering its a brand new account.|||KaRnDaWG.........hybrid summon/pnb nec
Will have to be a friday/sat though.|||Man, no other takers eh. bummer. this would be fun|||

Q u o t e:
1. You must make another account for this event.

What does that mean?|||Just simply make a new account in-game. Takes 30 seconds max?
Aww Cmon Dnothing! You know you want to! :)|||

Oh right ok, I don't think I've ever done that before. Why is that necessary though?|||

To prevent people from muling, having easy access to their normal friends list. So they are not bothered by their current buddy list while in a HARDCORE game. Since you are not able to play on your Ironman account without your Ironman group, it prevents cheating, since you must add everyone in the group and it is easily detected to see someone else online when they aren't supposed to be.
Just a few reason~|||

Oh okay, fair enough.|||Can people who already signed up voice their opinions of when we should start? This is a group thing and don't want to go over anyone's head with a time that is not good for them~|||Im in. Been wanting to do this before D3 beta is released
Ill be your Amazon

Any time after ~5:20PM EST is cool with me.|||I'm down as a sorc if the times work out
How often do you guys plan on doing this?|||Sounds like fun!
Druid for me.
I've got a pretty open schedule for the next few weeks.|||Ok, is everyone who signed up ready to start this weekend? No prior engagements? Are you ready? We have 5. If anyone is still interested please signup quickly because we will start SOON! Everyone who has signed up please respond! Tomorrow night? The next? Let's get it on!
|||I'm all set. Are we starting Friday night (tonight) or what?|||I'm ready to start Friday or Saturday night! I'm on East Coast time|||Dude, this is Karndawg the Necro. I actually have to back out, my family is surprising me for my B-Day this weekend. Have people coming in from TX, AZ, CA, and AK.
This is pretty lame-sauce, I've been wanting to do something like this for a LONG time. Ironman's are pretty much the only fun part of D2 anymore =/
