Critical attendence failures

[Corwin]

It seems I will be a couple hours late tomorrow. ~9pm, my time. Pushed ahead from Wednesday.

[Anastasia]

Will probably run tomorrow, but it'll come down to a gametime decision. It's one of my down days, so the possibility of something coming up exists.

[Anastasia]

Friday's iffy for me, about 50/50. Will find out more later.

[Merc]

Random aside in case it matters for planning for Dune:
I plan on taking the last week of december off from work - I will be on vacation from Dec 21 to January 1.

[Anastasia]

Oh awesome. Good to know, thanks for the heads up.

Next week is Thanksgiving week. For the two of you that aren't in America, that means it's a holiday week full of the normal disruptions that holidays bring. With the Christmas season just around the corner, I could use a few days to relax as well. What does this mean? I'm canceling next Wednesday's session on top of next Thursday's session being a wash due to being Thanksgiving day. This gives me 5 straight days off, a lovely chance to unwind before the craziness of lovely December. This also means I won't run this Monday or Tuesday to compensate.

It's possible I'll miss next Friday as well. (Not tomorrow/today, but in 7 days.) This will only apply to daytime sessions, as I may get stuck helping out with the Christmas decorating. I won't know until the day of, but I suspect I'm gonna be the one.

This also gives me a nice stretch of time to get NPC level ups done, since it was noted in nagging you guys are due to level up. While not a primary factor in my decision, it's certainly a nice side benefit.

[Anastasia]

Reminder: We're on tomorrow, barring a message on my end. It may happen that I'm unavoidably nabbed, but I'll try and avoid it.

I have been invited to a barbecue. It's at 2pm MST on Saturday. I have decided to attend and not be a complete shut-in this winter.

[Anastasia]

Fair enough.

Our current schedule for the upcoming couple of weeks is as follows:

Today, April 27th: We game!

Next week: Open game days for me are Monday and Wednesday. I work Friday so that's out, and it's right on the border of Iddy's vacation anyway. Let me know if we can make either of those days reliably. If not, it's no big deal under the circumstances. If possible, let me know before tonight's session.

Week after next: TBA depending on scheduling. This will likely start with bringing Ithea into the game. In the interests of getting the group going, I'll pull something or another to get Ithea caught up with everyone else right away. Should this end up pulling you from the current dungeon, there will be compensation or some way to avoid rehashing the areas you've already crossed. If I pull fiat to get y'all together, you won't be penalized for it.

This presumes Ithea is ready post Iddy's vacation, but I presume this will be a yes.

[Merc]

I'll be available monday if you want to do an ease back into game session. Wednesday I'm unsure on right now.

[Anastasia]

I was aiming for later in the week or during Iddy's vacation for you, but let me see what they have to say first. If Monday's a no-go for them, I'll run a combat demo and warm up for you.

[Merc]

Actually, the week after is probably best. That'll give me next week to read CODA logs. Also, catch up on why Balyss was kidnapping some dude the last time I gamed.

[Anastasia]

Sure thing. I'll talk to you mid-week.

[Yuthirin]

Cancelling today!
