Alright, I'll want to start getting the prologues underway reletively soon, and from there we have the group sessions kicking in.
So, the big question is, what days/times are best for everyone?
Myself, weekends are basically out, but I can swing pretty much any time on any weekday.
How about you three?
My general good times are early early morning for about two hours (even earlier for Gate so this is doubtful), Fridays, and Monday/Thursday evenings. I know Cid lives sometimes during my evenings, as does OK, so that seems most logical.
Wednesday evenings will be an occasional option but I have Cool Stuff going on those evenings pretty often, so.
Mmm...probably best day would be weekends for me, but I know those are out.
My schedule is a bit variable, but typically, Tuesdays are bad, and Thursdays/Fridays are questionable too. Mondays and Wednesdays are typically best, though it may have to occur after 2200 or so some nights. Best to contact me a week in advance, and I can give you my schedule.
I only intend to run every other week, so there should be plenty of time to work out timing between games.
OK: What day/time next week would be good to do your prologue?
If weekends don't work...how about Wednesday? I should be home around 1800 EST
Well, I surprisingly seem to have absolutely nothing to do tomorrow, so we'll try and get OK's prologue out of the way sometime after 3PM EST then.
Before the game, I'll be sure to update the Nouns topic with any important folks you know.
I'm around most times! Unemployment'll do that for you. Friday evenings are out, though, because I need to get to sleep early that day in order to be up in time for DF on Saturday.
Wednesday nights also suck, because it is the only day of the week where I actually watch TV (Lost, though I suppose I can just watch it online the next day).
Alright, OK, you kinda went poof man. When do we want to do the other half of the prologue?
Sorry, network went kaboom when the Steelers won the Superbowl >_> Died down all night on this end.
You free tonight?
Am not tonight, feeling crappy in general and have CLEANING to do anyway. Tomorrow is good though.
Alright, all prologues DONE.
I figure next week would be good for the first session. When do we want to schedual it? Wednesday? And we can schedual by EST sinc all three of you loons use it.
Well, Wednesday is not my favorite day, as noted. But it's cool as long as stuff is done before 9PM EST.
Wednesday... isn't preferable here either. Thursday work, by any chance?
Next week is shitty. Monday, Thursday, Friday are dead and out. Tuesday would be best.
Tuesday is fine for me as well. Tai, Cid?
Also, what time on Tuesday is good, OK?
Sure.
A bit later, lemme check my clinic schedule...I should be available after that (so...~2100 EST). Possibly before that - the new clinic schedule hasn't come out yet!
Lovely. Well, let us know when it does.
If that's the case though...9 eastern is latish. You guys up for that? It's only 6 my time, so I'm fine, of course.
Late isn't a problem on my end.
Alright, Tai says 9:15 is good for him.
So right now, assume session tomorrow evening at 9:00 EST(I'll just have you two start before Tai a bit).
Alright, how's the 23rd(Monday) for the next game sound for everyone?
If we can't manage that, I CAN play on the 22nd(Sunday), but I'd really rather not.
Should work, I think. I'm back at 5:20 or so on Mondays, so.
Should work...be back around 1800 or so EST
Alright, then next session planned for 6:30pm(EST) Monday the 23rd.
Works.
Okies, I can do this again next week (2-6th) or week after (9-16th) pretty easily. You all want to do two weeks in a row or skip one? And what days/times are good?
2-6th I'm free all week.
Week after is normal school schedule, i.e. Monday/Thurs/Fri are best, Tues/Wednesday are preferred to avoid, if it must happen then I need it to be around 9:20 or so.
As we know, I am free whenever for the forseeable future.
Those weeks are generally ok if I'm doing it later. The days are shot, until after about 2000 or so, though.
Then let's call one for Thursday the 5th, 8:30 EST.
That sound good?
Righty-o.
Sure.
Uh...Thursday is good. It's not a new episode of Supernatural, so that all works!
Alright, we left off in the middle of a big scene, so I'd like to jump back in as soon as we can.
Is everyone good for next week? After that we can skip a week to give folks a break, but I'd like to not lose too much momentum here.
My best days next week are Monday, Wednesday or Thursday.
How about you all?
Monday and Thursday of those two work best. Rather not do Wednesday.
Well I suppose it would seem that Monday is out. Cid/Ok, you guys down with Thursday?
Probably not. I'll be staffing the Pittsburgh Poison Centre that night.
Yes, 5 million people will be relying on me alone for treating poisons from the hours of midnight until 0800.
Anyway...this weekend would be sexcellent for me...uh...Tuesday after about 2200 (...yeah, probably too late for me), Wednesday is all good, Friday is all good (except for 2100-2200).
Not a fan of Wednesdays because it is the only day when I actually watch TV (Lost). Though I suppose I can just watch that online the next day.
Thursday's fine if OK can actually be here. Weekend also works, but I know Gate and weekend sessions generally don't mix.
...Man, you know what? I'm unemployed and have no life, just tell me when to be here.
...well. That's interesting. I actually have a weekend free.
So, Sunday at, say...4pm EST sound good?
Works for me.
Could it by any chance be 5:00? Semi-decent odds I'll be gaming with Dune & co before the game, and even if I'm not I'm working with my dad/doing errands so I'd like a bit of breathing room.
No sweat.
Blagh. Sorry, but it seems like I am actually needed elsewhere on Sunday (mom's birthday--it's actually the 14th but apparently stuff is happening on Sunday instead).
Lovely. And I can't do Saturday. One of those frikkin' days today, I swear.
Alright looks like we're skipping this week. OK, Tai, what days are good for you two next week? I can do anything but Friday.
As usual, Monday/Thursday are optimal. Wednesday can be done but we'd have to start ~9:30, Tuesday next week is flat out.
Uh...Friday is out, Tuesday is out, weekend is out, Wednesday is out...Monday is the best day. Thursday is doable.
Let's try Monday again. 6 PM EST?
And I'm fucked. I need to work on something for the hospital for Thursday they need done stat. Damnit.
<OK-SlavingAwayAsUsual> In case you missed it - I had something come up I need to work on tonight - sorry
* Gatewalker nods. s'the way it goes.
> Alright, what other day/time would work for you?
<OK-SlavingAwayAsUsual> Uh...
<OK-SlavingAwayAsUsual> This week is shot unless you wanna try the weekend
<OK-SlavingAwayAsUsual> Next week...ugh...Wednesday probably is best
> Doubt I'll have two weekends in a row off. Alright, we'll try next wednesday.
<OK-SlavingAwayAsUsual> Ok
> what time?
<OK-SlavingAwayAsUsual> Can we shoot for 1900?
> 7pm your time/4pm mine, eh?
> Sure, I'll clear that with Tai/Cid
Alright, so how's that sound guys? If I can manage some weekend time, I'll know by Thursday and let you all know then. For now I'm guessing I won't though.
Wednesday? ...Not particularly fond of it, but I'll see if I can swing it - involves missing an optional class is why I'm not terribly intrigued.
Uh...crap. I don't want anyone missing class on account of Persona. I'll try and get some weekend time free.
As I said, it's optional - doesn't influence my grade at all and it's more for pleasure than anything. Still, I'd rather not miss, 'cuz yeah, it's fun - I'll know what's going on this Wednesday, and if I know it's unappealing I'll duck out.
Well, I have time free on Sunday~
So, game this Sunday, y/n? I figure optimal time should be around 5 EST(1700 for the OKs)?
Should work.
Computer is unfucked, yay.
Anyway, I should be around Sunday.
Well last week was comp go boom and this week has been getting back to speed after that. What day next week is good for playing?
My usual "anytime" response goes here.
I'm kinda time-screwed next week, but Wednesday/Thursday -might- work.
Wednesday depends and I'll know Monday, Thursday's the backup. Or something.
And no word from OK yet. We'll see if he can do this Thursday, if not, we'll try next week. If either of you see him around, kick him into the topic please.
Thought I responded here.
So, this week is shitastic for me - I will be out late for a dinner tomorrow, then Thursday, then going to see the girlfriend on Friday-Sunday.
Next Monday?
Monday is good with me. Tai?
I can figure Monday out, sure.
Monday it is. Default to 3:30 my time, 6:30 yours? Unless that doesn't work for someone?
Works for me
Ditto.
Or there could be no game afterall. Upcoming finals makes for arghbusyxorntoro.
This likely means that both this and next week are shot due to finals stuff. I think we're all patient enough sorts that we can just pick up after that though, yes?
Alright, next Monday, the 27th. Who's game for picking back up then?
Kyar.
Works.
Ok, this week is boned - Eastern States coming up - after that I should be better
Alrighty.
Cid, Tai, we can still do some "between sessions" rp stuff, like you talking to the girls and such.
Also, dur i r smrt, forgot to mention time. Standard 3:30 my time, 6:30 yours, if that's acceptable.
OK, will next week good for you at all? I'm kinda xombied out this week, frankly.
Sure. What day?
dunno, waiting on the Knight of Oblivimication to tell us what day is good for him. My schedual is open, so seems best to ask the one with the least free time and the rest of us work around it.
How about...next Monday I'm working until 9, Thursday is the Supernatural Season Finale, Tuesday I'm at clinic until 9, Wednesday...I'm doing something, but I forget what (but should be available later). Would a weekend work? This coming Sunday is free for me. If not, Wednesday is best, since I work early morning next Saturday, so late Friday would suuuuuck.
This approaching Sunday doesn't work for me, family gathering due to Mother's Day. Wednesday's better.
Wednesday is the season finale of Lost. >.< But I can watch it online the next day instead if Wednesday is the only day that works for us this week.
Seems like Wednesday is our best bet here. Alright, I'll need times then.
I'm good from 3EST onward, myself. Any idea when this "later" you speak of will be, OK?
Also, Tai, did you want to try and play out the rest of the conversation with Mika on Mon/Tues?
I'll probably be back from the hospital at ~1800 or so. How late can people go?
Starting at 6:30EST seems to be the standard for us anyway.
Mrf. I should still be up for doing this, but my dad's dragging me out for a while, so this may have to be a night session. My serious apologies, I just got told it last night.
I should be back 8:30/9:00ish; maybe start up Val/Hikari and throw me in when I return? I don't know. This being said I'm up for running as late as desired.
Also, Gate, yeah, I would have liked to but I think I let it slip for too long, forgot to prod you yesterday. File it as "generally encouraging conversation attempt and trying to convince her that talking to Mistia's best because it lets her move on" conversation? Mrf. Sorry.
I am currently more then a little blarg and braindead, and have been for a few days now, so no idea when I'm going to be in shape to run a full session.
That said, once I get social link rules up, if any of you want to start working on any of those, we can run that. One on one stuff is alot easier then full group stuff. There is also likely to be a bit of timeslip between resolving the Mika adventure and stumbling across the next one.
Right. Will keep in mind. Whenever you're ready to run, just say so.
OK: It would appear that IRC isn't letting me on right now. We'll have to try this again later if it doesn't correct itself by 4.
Alright, try reschedualing the Death S.Link for sometime this coming week? What time is good for you, OK?
...OK? Are you still playing this game?
Alrighty, we're picking this back up after DLC and turning it into a weekly thing.
As for day, Tai has suggested Thursdays and I'm good with that. Any prior engagements on Thursdays we need to worry about with you, Cid? Also from both of you, what would be a good start/stop time?
Also, if Thurs is good, I can certainly be ready to run on the 6th, despite that being right after 'con, if you two are up for playing then. If not, the 13th is also doable.
So Metroid is having her official name changing party this Thurs, and I guess that works out anyway since I've been a zombie the past couple days and haven't prepped as much as I'd like. Boo to con crud.
Restarting on the Thursday the 13th. Still need suggestions for starting times from you two.
Anytime works for me, as we know. Just say when.
Since it seems to be coming down to me... uh. After your walk is probably ideal, so 4:00-7:00 work?
4 EST? So 1 my time. Yeah, I can manage that.
Alrighty then, Thursday the 13th, starting at 4pm EST it is.
Laptop's down, trying to fix, can't promise being around Thursday but will endeavor to be.
Weren't we doing Wednesday this week?
Yeah, this week is Wednesday since my anneversary is Thurs.
Uh, if you're not here then Cid and I can do something, I guess
Wednesdays I've class until 5:15 so we would've been looking at 6 my time anyway. This being said, the laptop is dead, I won't be seeing it in use again thusly my presence tomorrow is highly, highly unlikely.
So, I've got a job offer, which presumably means that I'll be doing the 9-to-5 thing again in the near future. Is pushing the start time back to six or seven PM EST workable for everyone? (I could probably swing the former. Not sure, though, depends on what kind of commute I'm looking at.)
So long as it stays Thursdays, that might actually be better all things considered, sure.
Alright, we'll call gamestart 6:30 EST/3:30 PST on thursdays for now and see how that plays out. If we need to move it either way we can.
So, we have a Snow who would like to join the game, but is at work during the current timeslot. We're talking about shuffling a bit to see if we can find one that works for everyone here.
Snow, care to chime in with what times you can manage first?
Alright. I'm available at anytime past 10:30 PM my time, 9:30 PM Tai's time, 6:30 Gate's time. I don't know how that translates to Ciddy hours, however, and would like to clarify. I can do any day but Friday. Early afternoon time in theory (say, 12:30 my time) would be possible as well, but I don't like the idea of gaming -before- I go to work.
Ciddy time = Toro time.
Afternoon is probably out assuming that I'll be employed in the near future.
That doesn't tell us if you're actually okay with a 9:30 start time though, Cid. It just means the afternoon(which Snow has said he already would like to avoid) is out. <_<
Okay, since I'm sorta dense, I'm going to say it now. Daylight Savings Time will kick in for me from this Saturday onwards. This may sound bad in a vacuum, but this actually means that, instead of getting home at 9:30 PM toro/Ciddy time and 6:30 PM Gate time, I'll be hitting home at 8:30/5:30 respectively, so if the agreed timeframe gets taxing, it can be shoved an hour earlier for convenience.
Right. Our time as it stands should work fine, gives you more time to get in for a bit (and then we hit Daylight Savings Time and throw you off again.)
Session for this week(Thurs the 22nd) is just going to be the other half of Snow's prologue.
Tai/Cid, sorry about not getting this done earlier and making an actual session of this week, but gaming three times this week is way too much for me and I've already menitoned the whys in chat.
Understood. No prob. You just relax.
A.S.D.F.
So, uh, apparently this isn't working right now. I've been booted from IRC and it won't seem to let me back on. WHat the hell, I can still use AIM/IE just fine. Fail mIRC.
Alright, so next session is this week(Thurs the 29th) at 9:30 EST. Everyone down with that?
I'm game.
Right-o.
Works.
Not going to be here for this week's session. Thanksgiving and all.
Yeah, I think we can safely say that gaming on Thanksgiving is a no-go. I may still be around, and if I am I'll be happy to run an S.Link or soemthing for anyone who is around. But not going to have an actual session here.
The S. Link for Alice still up for grabs on Tuesday night?
Let's go ahead and call it Wednesday?
I'm game.
As of right now I think Wednesday works better for an cover session.
Fine by me. It's been determined now that I won't be the one picking my brother up at the airport that day, so I should be here.
Alright, IIRC Snow said any day was good for him, so we'll plan for Wednesday the 23rd, normal session time.
Just echoing the Gatewalker here. A Wednesday is memetic too.
Missing two weeks in a row like this really kinda hurts the gameflow, but I think folks can understand with holiday madness. Jenna has all this week off and I'm basically burnt out on social interaction thanks to 4 days in a row at her folks' place(where I have 0 in common with anyone not named Jenna).
In short, Thurs is New Years Eve anyway and I doubt I'll be coherent enough to run a boss fight by tomorrow, so is there any objection to just calling this week a wash?
It's the New Year times, so it's understandable. Just don't come back without reattaching your limbs together. <_<
Alright, for S. Link time, I'm fine on this Tuesday and Wednesday. I won't be around this weekend, and Monday the Ciddy will already S. Link, so I think either of these days would be best.
I know Snow still has some free points stitting around for S.Links, and you all did just get a CP. Does anyone want to get in more S.Link time soon?
Also, the Endless Admin will be contacting Mike soonish. When's a good time for that, Tai?
I'll grab one of those S. Link points on Wednesday evening if that's okay. Alice 3 good?
Sure.
Does anyone else want to do anything at the same time? We do have two channels now.
Wednesday is the day when Cid gets sleep+ to make up for Tues/Thurs gaming keeping me up past midnight.
Next Monday maybe for linkage?
Would not mind doing S. Link. However, past n weeks have been hell, talk to me next week when I'm on spring break. Sorry. :/
Okay, new job has settled, I now have a stable-ish schedule. I work from 8AM-5:30PM my time (this is 6AM-3:30PM on Ciddy/toro time), which also means now I need to be in bed at most at midnight (which is... just a bit after dinner for Gate, 10PM Ciddy/Tai). If we get, say, one or two hours earlier than usual on Thursdays, I think I can make a weekly low-sleep night, but I'd like to discuss possibilities a bit more.
7:30 PM my/Cid time would work fine for me, at least, sure.
I think it's amply established that any time I'm not at work is acceptable to me.
That's starting at 4:30PM my time, which I can handle, sure. We'll try that this week then?
Sure.
Roger Dodger!
I hate pulling this stuff up last minute, but I'm really really out of it today, and I'm not the kind of GM Hero that can run through anything like Dune is. Would you guys be able to do this on Monday instead as a make-up session?
Works for me.
A Monday is fine too, sure.
If it doesn't run late, sure. Monday nights are early-crash nights due to having a early morning class, but.
Alright, so trying this today at 4:30 PST/7:30 EST as a makeup session. Just reminding everyone.
SO Tai is too sick to play today, and I was up and down all night with stomach problems and got no sleep. Way too out of it + missing a player for a normal session. Does someone want to claim an S.Link today?
I'll pass on S. Linking today, kinda tired as well and I want to shoot the breeze a little. Think we can schedule one for Wednesday?
Not a problem
Okay. I'm not going to be around for this Thursday's session - taking a trip to my hometown due to Easter holidays on Thursday night and I will only be available on Friday morning. We could see if we can manage a full session on Wednesday (in this case, if there's room, I'll S. Link on Monday instead - or not S. Link this week at all, if Monday's busy). Thoughts?
I think Gate was gonna run a link scene for me in the evening today. Remind me of the exact time, Gate?
Maybe he could multitask? >.>
Cid Link: 6:30 PST today. I suppose if Snow can get in on the same time, I can try to multitask. This is me, though. It's not my forte.
Um, I can try for full session Wednesday instead, normal time. Dunno how that pans out for Cid/Tai, though.
Wednesday is same as Monday - works but I need to crash kinda early due to classes.
I also crash early on Wednesday, though on account of being up until 2:30 AM the night before.
So short session on Wednesay it is.
Quote from: Gatewalker on March 29, 2010, 12:24:28 PM
Cid Link: 6:30 PST today. I suppose if Snow can get in on the same time, I can try to multitask. This is me, though. It's not my forte.
I'm fine with Ciddy getting dibs here. I'll just reschedule my S. Link time for Wednesday next week.
For the foreseeable future (read: will be trying to get a job, but for now, at least) I'm going to be able to do sessions earlier if that's desirable/possible on Snow's end. I know that time's been a bit crunched, so if there's interest, well, hey.
I'm usually back home by 7:30 PM. Don't think it's -really- necessary, and it'd be hard for me to make time if it was too early. Starting one hour earlier than we do right now isn't bad, though.
Wednesday, around 4PM your time works for Alice S. Link, Gate?
Um... Tuesday, 6:00 PM or so your time would be best for me for a SLink. Haven't decided who yet, leaning Xavier.
Both of those work, yeah. The Tues one will need to wrap up before Planar starts, but that's still 90 minutes for the S.Link.
...ooooh, right, Planar.
No, if you need to move that, I can manage a different time (or just changing it to next week or something and we can retrofit it in, schedule-wise); that's a lot to cram in at once.
Gonna grab another S. Link time, this time with Theresa, usual day (Wednesday).
Just as a reminder to folks, we're gonna try and start around 3:30 PM PST/6:30 PM EST/7:30 PM Snowtime today, and see how that works out.
I was feeling better the past couple days, now I'm back to feeling worse. I'll see how I'm doing around gametime, but if my head doesn't stop spinning I may not be able to run today. Wanted to give everyone a heads up.
Is this Wednesday a good day for a S. Link?
The 23rd? Shouldn't be a problem. I'll assume you want it set basically right after you all get done with your current dream expidition?
Gonna actually request we swap Persona game dates for this next week - I have a schedule conflict with a friend's sending off party (he's moving to Texas, so I won't see him for a good long while). Thursday as such doesn't work - switch to Mon or Wed (if Wed, Snow can do the SLink Thurs?)
Sorry, this came up suddenly on my end.
I can pull Monday or Wednesday with equal ease myself, so whichever day is best for you two.
I can pull off both Mon and Wed.
Mental note: Whenever I post stuff like this, poke Cid immediately. He never checks the board of his own volition.
>_>
<_<
I read every post, dammit.
I just don't respond.
And maybe I don't always read them in time.
But I read this one in time.
And I'm responding.
Oh, Gate. Think Thursday can work for S. Linking day?
That was the idea, yes.
Settled, then. We meet tonight.
Hikari gets to hang out with Shiro on Wednesday. 4:30 PM EST.
I'm just throwing out that I'm likely out for this week's session. Work's been really burnouty - I've been pulling overtime basically all week due to us being down one (wo)man for the time being and we've been having to deal with more than a few hairy matters for the week. I can't guarantee I won't have to pull overtime tomorrow either, and even if I don't, I'm basically mentally fried. Sorry about that, guys. =/
Fair enough. Cid/Tai and I can work out something to play out, since I'm fairly sure you don't want to miss the current batch of crazy in the Dream.
Game plans tomorrow(Aug 5) depends entirely on if Tai's up to gaming/wants to spend vacation time gaming. I'll poke him about it later today/early tomorrow and make a definitive post tomorrow morning.
Game today is go.
12th is out, as that's DLC.
19th may or may not work, depending on how Tai's flight works out. That's the day he leaves for home. Worst comes to worst, I can run an S.Link or two then.
asdaskdhas
So. When we decided on the move to Friday instead of Thursday, I had completely forgotten that this Friday is the 3rd, my birthday, and Jenna had taken it off and made plans to go out and such. So yeah, game will need to be on the 2nd(Thursday, tomorrow) instead.
We can swap to Fri starting next week, though.
Sorry about the late notice. I, uh, didn't even think about it until I saw the calander that had gotten swapped over to Sept this morning. <_<
Alright, this Fri is me and Jenna's anniversary, so obviously no game. We made tentative plans for normal session on Thurs again, but it's sounding like that's not going to work for Snow. I know Thurs also isn't too great for Tai anymore.
So...what do we want to do? I could run a quick Hikari solo thing(S.Link or something else) if Tai just wants to sit this one out? If Tai's okay to go, we could do a Nagareless session and just say he's stuck in some meetings? Or we could just call it a wash if even Cid's not up for it(hahahaha).
So yeah, Tai/Cid, what's it gonna be?
Dude, you make it sound like I have no life or something. That's, uh...Y'see, the thing is...
Right, never mind. Linkage could happen if I still have spare CP (I always forget).
I might or might not be up for it - it will honestly need to be determined probably a few hours before at best. Sorry 'bout that. If Cid wants to Link I may just crash early, my body's been pissed at me this entire damn week.
No session today. I just found out that my dad has 4+ months left to live, best case scenario. I'm not really in the mood to be social right now.
...oh, shit.
Thoughts with you, and take care.
Game normal time tomorrow. Snow, sorry about not fitting in a Theresa link this/last week. Let's try next week?
Okay. Due to the whole streamlining Gate's proposing, I think we may want to schedule a non-gaming day to talk about the changes that may be implemented (I personally want some feedback on S. Link mechanics changes). This week, I could propose we gather at #personador one day and talk about it - for me, the better days would be Monday/Wednesday/Thursday, all after 8:30PM my time (3:30 Gate time, DST started today over here). It -may- be later, but earlier is a bit sketchy for me. Gate also mentioned Monday is bad for him, so it's likely Wed/Thur are the big days here. I can't swing Tuesday due to going to a concert at 9PM that day. So, anyone want to suggest a date?
So that's 6:30 Cid/Tai time? And Tues is bad for me and Cid anyway due to Planar, so.
I'll be around at that time on Wednesday and Thursday, but I'm also gaming both days (I'm gaming every day of this week what the fuck is wrong with me) so may be semi-quiet, but I can be there.
6:30 Wednesday might work okay, will be in class but I don't pay much attention anyway.
Let's shoot for that then?
Cid is a gaming hero. Or robot. Take your pick.
And 6:30 Wed works fine. This is just discussion, not active RP, so doesn't demand primary attention or anything anyway.
I wish I was a robot. That would make it a lot easier.
So, Wed, 8:30 PM? Works for me.
Okay, unexpected work shanghainenigans. We're going to have to go nuts tomorrow over preparing press kit material for a press conference on Monday and this means all bets are off regarding when we get out, since we're not leaving until it's done. This means that I may not be able to come back in time for the session, and, if I do, I may be just fried enough to not be able to even think straight, let alone play. There are no guarantees, though - I won't know until I get home from work. So, I'll just leave it at this: if, one hour from gaming, I'm not around in chat, odds are I'll fail to make it. Otherwise, we're probably good to go. Sorry for the short notice, but it's as far in advance as I could make it, since we found out about this junk -this afternoon-.
Alright, since you all are out of the Dream currently I can run with Nagare not being around for a session if it comes to that. Hikari has the key right now anyway(see latest S.Link) and it's easy to have the prof sucked into a meeting he'd rather not be in, preventing him from helping out. If work interferance is good enough for the player, it's good enough for the character~
Ideally you'll be here and in good shape of course, but don't worry about it if you aren'rt.
Okay, rollcall here. Friday the 27th, day after Thanksgiving. Who's going to be here, who's not?
I should be here. I'll be at the parents' place for most of the day but don't anticipate getting back after nightfall.
Barring act of fog, I'm here.
/me is here.
Okay so it's Toro's End Of Semester I Want To Punch People In The Gonads time!
Right now I'm working on 20pg/5pg/10+page essays, and while I'm hoping to be in a place where I can do Persona tonight, I can't promise I won't have imploded. (I WANNA BEAT BLAND UPPPP)
So basically if we don't play tonight, any interest/capability to run two sessions next week to make up for it?
On my end, WRF all work (Wed-Fri). Tuesday's flat out, sadly, won't be here in the evening. Monday... if we start much later, which will mean probably a limited session due to Snownergy. Thoughts?
Sadly, I can't just run S.Links today if Tai can't make it(which was his first suggestion). Because you don't really have any more free time before going in to clock back and use, and I can't skip ahead to let you use time after this because...well, the results of what happens in the Asylum are important.
I can, however, run twice next week no problems, whatever days you can all manage it.
Whatever/I'll be here whenever/etc.
The "much later" depends on how much later that means. During the week, honestly, the times we usually run on Friday just won't work for me due to that being two hours away from my bedtime (yay DST). If we can do any day one or two hours earlier than usual, I'm game, though.
"Much later" is ~9:00 PM my time. <_<
So it sounds like Wednesday will be best if I need to combust.
Brought up in chat: New Year's Eve gaming y/n?
I can be around and expect to be home that night, so here is one y.
I'll know in a few days, most likely.
If it's like last year, I won't be around.
I can't do New Year's Eve, but I can do the night before. That work?
And thursday isn't good for me, unfortunately. -_-
What I CAN do though, if you all can, is run both Monday and Friday next week(so the 3rd and the 7th). How does that sound?
We'll see on that end - my friend is in town and I'm likely to be crashed at his place often. This being said, I can definitely say that at least one of those nights will be fine, if not both.
I shouldn't have any problems with either day.
I can't really do any weekday besides Friday unless you guys want -really- short sessions (as in one and a half hour long) or I want my workday to completely suck. Given how an average session ends at like 3AM my time, pulling it off midweek is risky for me.
I'm off work the 31st. Is there any chance that makes it possible to just run earlier than usual, or is the Toro going to be out the entire day?
According to a post in the DL, the toro is now having computure troubles like whoa thanks to some nasty malware or something. So...don't be surprised if we don't hear back from him in here in time. -_-
Apologies, but posting solely to fully deconfirm as, yes, my laptop exploded in effect.
In addition, Monday may even be risky since I don't know when I'll get it back. The people I gave it to do damn good work. Fast? Not so much.
*mutters something about horriblebad timing*
just post here when you've got it back and running, man.
Laptop fixed and retrieved. Will be here Friday.
Can we schedule a S. Link this Tuesday, Gate? Any time after I return from work is fine.
EDIT: Should be back from work at 6PM my time, roughly, maybe a bit later. That's roughly four hours before we start the game at the scheduled time.
As it turns out, today brings with it Stuff To Do, so I may not be able to do an S.Link this afternoon. 6 your time is...what, 2 mine? Yeah, I won't be free until roughly 6 my time, which is like 10 yours. If you can do one that late then we can go with it, if not we'll have to pass.
Hey, Gate, is that possibility for a S. Link during the weekend still open?
Possibly! I'll check with Jenna today about weekend plans and let you know at gametime tonight.
This week, you think you have any time for another S. Link session, Gate? Like, say, one day of Monday-Wednesday?
/me sighs. I swear I'm not normally this bad about checking the boards.
Um, well, running Regionspace for Tai today, actually. Sorry. <_<
No biggie. Next time, I'll poke you on IRC too. >_>
May or may not be able to make it tomorrow, dad is making plans for a family meal during late evening. Sorry for late notification but this is the first I've heard of it.
Worst comes to worst I can run intermission stuff for those two. Hikari does have her sister showing up soon and all~
Herp derp DST again. Dunno how it catches me by surprise every damn year.
So we jumped ahead an hour up the the north half of the world, meaning 7:30 EST/4:30 PST is coming an hour earlier then it used to for Snow.
Snow: is starting an hour earlier feasable for you(I'm guessing no, but gotta ask).
Tai/Cid: is starting an hour later feasable for you two, if starting earlier isn't for Snow?
9:30 to 8:30 is generally viable for me - today was really a freak exception.
I'm not going to be around Friday, but since Mike was gonna shuffle to the eye doc Snow and Cid can continue dreamspace romp?
Cid may not be around this week either, so we'll see what comes up.
Anyway...I'm hoping to get this fixed soon one way or another, but mIRC is flat out refusing to let me on at the moment so I haven't been in chat. I'll post here if I can't manage to get that fixed by tomorrow.
oof. Not sure what to tell you, there - try using mibbit and hopping into Lunarnet's help channel?
Alright. We're moving next month, so here's the deal.
8th is flat out not happening. That's the day we officially get the new place, deal with an inspection here, and have a whole lot of shit to do.
22nd MAY not be happening. That's the last weekend we have to tidy this current place up before inspection and the final move out.
1st, 15th and 29th should be fine, but take note of that word "should". Shit might come up.
The reason this will be taking so long is that we're doing it almost entirely ourselves with a bit of help here and there from a local freind(maybe) and will be hiring movers ONLY for the furniature. So it's the "couple of carloads every day" model of moving.
And shit has officially come up for today. On top of me being exhausted from little sleep last night and the sudden heat spike from yesterday/today, Jenna has to pull an all nighter tonight so will be napping the afternoon away. That being during game time. The bed and my computer are in the same room, and her computer is acting funny.
So rather then miss two weeks in a row, how does Wednesday or Thursday(the 6th or 7th) work for everyone? Monday's going to be a continuation of weekend stuff for me, and iirc the Cid has a game in the Tuesday slot still, so it's basically just Wed or Thur.
Wednesday is optimal, but I won't be home/ready until 8:30 my time, as a reminder.
Thursday I get home/would be ready around 9:15 or so, and I'm likely to be tired.
This being said, if Cid/Snow were busy doing stuffs they can finish it?
I don't have anything Tuesdays. Not sure what you're thinking of there, Gate (my gaming is all smashed into Friday/Saturday).
Any day's good for me, really.
Same as Ciddy on my end. Wed/Thurs are essentially the same for me, and are fine.
We'll do Wednesday then. Starting at 6PM Gate time, so 9PM Tai/Cid time and whatever that translates to in Snow time(wanna give Tai a few to settle back in once returning home). Sound good?
Sure.
Also, I thought Tues was out because Looming was in the old Planar slot? Am I misinformed there?
Oh, yes. It is now.
Okay.
Family is having early celebratory graduation dinner this Friday, will not be here.
Will be here Wednesday at a normal time so can start 7:30 like normal game time. Satisfactory?
(I can't really pull Tuesday or Thursday this week either, need to go to class and I won't be focused by the time I return home most likely.)
I can manage that. Cid, Snow?
Sure.
This week I can't pull it off period until further notice. I lost my steady internet access and using my mother's laptop to game is out of the question. I may not regain my internet until next week. =/
Alrighty then. So I'll just run solo scenes this week. Mike at normal time on Wed and Hikari at normal time on Fri.
mIRC acting up again. Hopefully will be on for game today. If not, well, blarg. (Covering my bases and posting here as well as asking Dune to poke Cid about this via chat.)
Belay that. Dune got me a version of mIRC that isn't filled with black sorcerey and gremilns.
But it still has Hatbots, so I'd imagine it's not much of an improvement.
Alrighty. Computer is being removed from the apartment on Friday morning, and there won't be internet at the new place until the 27th at the earliest. Sooooo yeah, game on the 22nd is not happening and likely won't be able to pull a makeup game for it. Flat out NO time this week at all, every day is movingmovingmovingmoving(doing it all ourselves to not have to pay movers).
Apologies for the shitty and inconsistant schedual lately, hopefully things stabilize next month.
My schedule will be stable next month barring insanity so yeah. This being said, I just got notified that I'm being dragged out for a graduation dinner Friday after a ceremony instead of being allowed to come back home, recoup/relax, and deal with Saturday's fracas as it comes.
... so blargl, in sum.
The good: Everything's moved, we're all done but some unpacking/cleaning/waiting for new furniature to be delivered.
The bad: Internet works for every computer but mine. What the hell. No problem with the router, it's just the wireless card in my comp that's being a prick. We'll be hitting Best Buy tomorrow to get a new one that will work, but it's still a safe bet that we wont' be on tomorrow.
That being said: How does either Mon or Wed work for people? I need to get logs up(once my comp, which they're all on, is online) before we can run, so maybe Wed would work better, but if Mon is what can be done, then it's what can be done? Fri should also be good for next week as well. After tomorrow, schedual is officially returning to stable.
I don't have any problem with any of those dates. Would lean Wednesday because torodecompression but.
Wednesday should be okay. Looming isn't running this week so sleep woes shouldn't be a problem.
In -theory-, Wednesday should be okay for me (better than Monday for certain). Problem is, outside Fridays, the next two and a half weeks look -bad- for gaming on my end. My boss' vacation starts this Monday and I'm her substitute, which means I'm inevitably getting home later and more tired than is usual. I may be late and I may be zony, and I'll definitely have to pull out a bit early. Fridays are still fine, though, being a bit late possibility aside.
Feeling shity, unable to focus, and have not gotten any of the prep that you chasing down the Hell Biker actually requires done(minor depression set in on teh weekend, this entire week has basically been a bust for me. Not really an excuse, but there it is).
So I'm calling today. Sorry about the short notice, it just didn't really sink in until now. See you folks on the 27th.
It's fine. Fortuitously, I also feel like shit today because of extended exposure to a killer AC!
So, for wrapping up today's stuff on Monday...earliest I can do is 4PM my time. That work for you?
4 for you is 1 for me...which is a bit early. How about 2 my time/5 your time?
Works.
Okay so it kinda sounds like no one'll be available Friday. Any interest in a Wednesday meetup/gaming?
(If someone can't come, more S. Links also works well at this point, so no pressure~)
Wednesday won't work for me, we'll arrive late at Austin (11PM late). Thursday, maybe?
I might be here Friday. Long story short, mom's crazy relatives dropping by without checking ahead of time whether that works with anyone else's plans. We're not even sure Friday is when anything is happening, just the first option that got thrown at me.
Alternately, Thursday is perfectly fine for me in any event.
Not certain I'll be around Thursday, myself, honestly.
asdf
And I've just been informed that *I* won't be available friday. Kier's flying out super duper early Sat morning, so we've got stuff that needs doing the afternoon before. Whee. -_-;
I think Cid said it best here: <Deadward> One of those weeks.
Not really mentally up to the business of pretending to be someone else at the moment, going to beg off gaming tonight. Highly encourage people to run without me given number of missed sessions lately, Hikari can just be in robo mode (she's 50% there already anyway, right? Wait, I think I made that joke before. I'm not very good at them).
Tai has said he will almost certainly not be with us this week. Since fighting Biker without full team is a no-go, what other scenes/S.Links/etc do you two want to cover?
Given that I'm still sick, going to bed early presently sounds the most attractive option.
Alrighty. Hope you feel better man.
Snow?
I'm game. Will get back home slightly later than the usual time, but in time for whatever we can do given the situation.
EDIT: Right. I'm okay with postponing, regardless.
Agh forgot to mention this last week. This Friday I'm taking a quick trip stateside for a friend's birthday celebration, and I have 0% chances of making this session. Blarg, meant to tell earlier but it just hit me now.
