This is pretty much just me whining about getting players who can make EST late morning/early afternoon times. Be warned.

Fuck.

Fuck!

FUCK!

Why is it that every single prospective new player for my SM game has to drop when they see the times? Olguin, Liddokun, Trunkyboy, IY(Kinda), and so on...all out because of the timing. Is 9 AM to 3 PM EST that hard to do for the rest of the world? With Corwin no longer being in the game, I'd love another PC.

But it just seems to not be working out. ARGH.

Uh, yes ^_^;

9AM to 3PM is generally known as "work time" or "school time" ^_^;

Bah.

If that's all it is, have some players quit work or school. That'll help a ton.

Er...heh? ^_^

But yeah. It's reached the point to where I can set my watch to...

I'm interested in the game.

Who's in it?

Sounds cool. What times does it play?

Oh, sorry, man. Can't make that time.

KILL.

You do realize that 9 am EST is quoth: "Fucking early" for a lot of people? ^_^;

Olguin for example is 2 hours back from that.  Making it 7 am.

Trunky's a midnight player.  And technically, so is IY from what I've seen.  Liddo seems to be non-east coaster as well.  With that time slot, it really pays to the folks on the other side of the coast.

I have a hard enough time getting my goons up for 12-4 EST time on The City at the moment ^_^

Well, Goodbye.

Heh. I go to bed at midnight and I'm up bright and early at 8 AM every day. Fucking early is, like, 3 AM. ^_^

But yeah. I'm thinking about trying electric prods to wake up my PCs. Sigh.

I realize I'm going to have absolutly no free time in the next seven months. I'm sorry, but I'm trying to prep a wedding while working and going to school. Sorry.  NO time is a good time for me.
The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.

That is rather crazy to keep up. Good luck, Inuyasha-chan.

Damn you East Coast GMs!  Damn you to heck!  Why can't you all live out West where it's warm, toasty, and works decently well with my scheduling?

>_<

Yeah, this post is really belated, but I just had to respond and vent some of MY frustration.

>_>

Liddo-kun: Bjorn is the rain gutter in which all the dirty thoughts of humanity flow into?
Bjorn: I prefer, instead, to think of myself as the crap that blocks the rain gutters, causing the dirty thoughts of humanity to back up, fill the streets, and flood your basements.

Heh. *pats*

Eventually they'll all see that the West coast way is the right way, Plushie. Just you wait.

Because of my time zone, I haven't been able to attend a single game of The City, the RPG for newbies that Dracos set up. If I didn't have school at the time the starts and finishes...well.

The game has ended for the term anyway.  It was a break only game.

I logically can't be gaming from noon to four daily while in college.

Well, Goodbye.
