Going to miss a session or be late? Post here.
I might be late.
Long story short: Dad popped his knee at the gym this morning. I need to help him do some things since walking isn't such a good idea right now. I should be back right around session start. Hopefully. Sorry to do this to y'all on the second session, but unfortunately he's supposed to stay off of it until the doc can see him.
No session today, stomach flu + complications. Going to lie down and be miserable in peace.
To be clear: We're on for today. I feel coherent enough to run something.
Might be a little late tomorrow, have some unexpected bank business. The odds are fairly low, this is a reminder for myself as much as anything.
Might be late, odds low but it's possible.
I'll start being a bit late on wednesdays.
Longer today on account of no public transport.
Noted. G'luck.
A bit below the weather today (again? Argh.) so I may be late or not show. It'll depend if I feel like laying down and fall asleep.
I'm going to miss this wednesday.
Right, thanks for the heads up.
In what's remarkably poor timing, I might be late tomorrow. I plan to start tomorrow's session with a conversation and settle the issues from today's session anyway, so we'll see how much time we have after that.
Mission complete! I'll be here on time.
Will be a bit late.
Missing this wednesday. I don't know what's up with the wednesdays.
You mean next session, right? As in today? Just to be clear.
Yes.
Tomorrow's session should be on without problem. My eye's mostly clear.
Speaking of, do y'all wanna get in a session on Friday to compensate for today? Let me know if so.
I would be fine with that.
I have stuff to do on Friday.
Ah well, was worth a shot. Well game today and then pick up on Monday, then.
I can't make this wednesday. This thursday and next week's monday-tuesday are iffy on account of a last minute vacation. I should still be in the same timeframe so let's do it on a day by day case?
Sure, g'luck.
Eb, since you no showed today, are you going to be alive later in the week?
So Eb hasn't been here since Monday. Obviously there were no sessions since then. Hopefully he'll be here by Monday, but if not, we'll probably miss that day too.
Sorry Dune, guys. That little bit of food poisoning left me incapable all week. I'm finally well enough to firm coherent thoughts but I expect I'll be in hospital for several more days until I recover or they figure out what's wrong with me.

Glad to hear from you man, I was worried about exactly that since you mentioned your stomach pains before you logged off.
Good luck and get well soon.
Yeah, I had mild food poisoning a few months ago and it knocked me on my ass for three days, I can't imagine what you must be going through to be in the hospital. Get well soon.
Indeed.
In light of this, we probably won't game much this week. Cor's on vacation and gets back Tuesday, so Monday's a big question mark even if Eb wasn't ill. So we'll just see how each day goes and wait for Eb to get out of the hospital.
We should all get extra magic items to make up for this, I think!
Maybe you will! One way to find out.
Small but distinct chance I'm gone for a few days. Heads up in case I vanish.
Looks like I won't be going to the ER after all. Whew.
Tossing this here since there's no other good spot for it. Eb, how's it going? Feeling any better?
I'm improving solidly, just started managing to eat and retain small amounts of food without throwing up. They've taken me off penicillin to see if symptoms reaper but so far none have.
Awesome, glad to hear you're on the mend. Any idea when they're letting you out of there yet?
So far looking like I might get out tomorrow. When I do I won't have computer access for a while but I'm thinking of getting a tablet so we can game again.
Going to be bed bound for awhile or at your parents?
Up to you, do what you need to do and don't over push yourself. Be nicer to have you back sooner than later, since we've all missed you and all that stuff.
Eb, if you do get that tablet, what's your ETA on it?
Not before the weekend I figure.

Not before the weekend I figure.
Cool, cool. G'luck then. Out of the hospital yet?
Yeah, got out today. Gotta go back in on Monday for another MRI though.
Congratulations!
I'll talk to you more about it when you're back on IRC. Keep us updated, man.
From IRC, crossposted here for Neph:
> Speaking of, we're tentatively lined up for Monday, pending on how that MRI goes and you being around for it.
<Ebiris> Yeah depends if I get my sick line and drop in work before or after.
* Kotono nods.
> We'll just see how Monday goes, then.
<Ebiris> Probably before to beat the traffic but it's not my call.
Sorry guys won't be around today. Had a bit of a relapse and feeling rotten.
Shit man, hope you feel better. Did the MRI go well, at least?
It's like we often tell Dune, your health is far more important! Just get it in order before all else.
Pretty much. Just keep us in the loop, man.
How does today look?
Good as far as I know, but we'll see how Eb is.
No sorry, things are getting complicated and crowded here. I won't have any chance to game probably for at least the rest of the week.
Okay then, just try and pop on IRC to chat once or twice, at least. I figure you're getting family mobbed after that scare or something like?
By the way, do you know when you're going home yet or back to work?
Just in case it matters: I'll be away during the latter half of our normal session time today. I don't think it will, but just in case.
Eb, if you can answer the questions two posts ago, it would be nice. Just trying to plan things out for the coming week and if I'll need to do things to keep the three of us occupied while you recuperate.
Even an answer of 'I don't know' is great, since I'll at least know it's up in the air and plan accordingly.
More like, it would be nice to hear from you once every couple days to know that you're okay.
No idea when going home. I'm signed out of work till the tenth, but that can be extended depending on my recovery or lack thereof.
Thanks for dropping in. Of course, that's the 5 minutes I look away to read a fanfic chapter, but what are you going to do?

Right. Heal up and feel better, man.
Edit: If you get a day where you can show up for a session, let us know. We can work around it for whatever day. Getting Inari to a point where she can be offscreened a bit (if this runs a week or more longer) would help so I can keep the other two doing things in the meantime.
Okay, so the plan is this: We game Monday. If Eb can make it in long enough to offscreen Inari, great. If not, she'll be NPCed to the same purposes. From there we'll do a sidequest that should keep y'all busy until Inari's back.
No session this Wednesday due to an eye doc appointment.
I'll be going back home tomorrow so normal service can resume.
Awesome! Congratulations.
PS: I really hope you cleaned out your fridge/freezer/pantry.
Any sign of Neph? Neph, you alive today?
Okay, would you guys be interested in an extra session Saturday or Sunday? We had a rough week plus the obvious Eb stuff, so I said I'd offer an extra chance. (Today didn't quite work out and I'm not up to it today anyway, so weekend it is.)
I'd rather not.
I would have been fine with it, for whatever that matters.
Fair enough then. Still not 100%, Eb?
I'm fine, I just want my weekend free.
Okay then. We'll pick up on Monday.
I think I'll be a bit late, but not really more than half an hour.
Sure thing, g'luck.
Reminder: No session today.
Might be late tomorrow. If I am, I'll probably beat Cor in regardless. Just a heads up.
I have a meeting next Tuesday (the 25th) at 1pm, I'd expect it to probably last a while. I'm going to try and take my computer to it so it shouldn't be too much of an issue, but I'll let you know if it becomes one.
I'll be late today, likely by half an hour.
Massive crisis at work, please wait 30min for me in case I can make it via laptop.
Right, good luck.
May be a bit late.
> I doubt Cor's gonna make it at this pace and I need to get up for a few anyway. If we miss today, do y'all wanna try to get in a session over the 3 day weekend to make up for it?
<Inari> Eh, why not.
<Erad> I thought the holiday was the week after next?
<Inari> It's a three day weekend here anyway.
> Well, three day weekend gaming-wise.
<Erad> Oh, I see.
<Inari> Which is odd because yeah I don't expect our holidays to usually coincide.
<Erad> Oh, I gotcha.
> Anyway, no Cor so we'll talka bout that weekend session in a bit.
Cor, can you make this? If so, which day sounds good for y'all?
Any of the days / times would be fine.
Sure, any.
Saturday or Sunday work fine for me.
Let's do Saturday. We'll start at normal game time or earlier if we're all around and alive and end about normal time.
Reminder that we're on for tomorrow.
Can't make it today.
Condolences. Hope work gets better.
Quick notice. This week begins the football season. As such, Sundays are out as a makeup day for the foreseeable future. This lasts until early February.
Monitors broken, be a bit late as I go get a replacement.

G'luck Eb. Came here to post I'd be a bit late as well.
Might cancel today ,feeling below the weather. I'll decide at game time.
Eye doc today, may or may not be around. We'll see. If I no show, that means I got home and promptly went to sleep, which is entirely possible.
Injection, no session today.
One of my new prescriptions has a sedative effect. I'll be around, but I might doze off suddenly and vanish while DMing. I'm trying to get used to it, but it takes time.
This game doesn't need The Dreamer, so be careful!
I'll be in Australia from the 24th October to the 6th November.
No idea about this week, we'll see how I'm holding up. Wednesday's likely out due to an eye doc appointment, though.
I'll be in Spain Oct19-26.
A few upcoming missed sessions. These are well in advance so consider this early warning. The holiday season usually involves some missed time, that's okay. It's just the way it goes.
- Monday, November 16th is likely out. Eye doc thing. Also, I'll probably miss a day in December for the same reason.That one won't be known until after the November visit.
- Thursday, November 26th is out. Thanksgiving. In case a make up day is desired, the next day is out of one. It's Black Friday and I work retail. That entire weekend is shaky, but we'll see.
- Thursday, December 24th is out. Christmas Eve. We do family stuff that day. Obviously, the next day is out as a make up day.
- Thursday, December 31st is tentatively not out. I usually have that afternoon free, but it's always a bit touchy. We'll make a call when it rolls around.
Finally, note that December in general is hectic for me. Between holiday stuff and working retail, a few missed days due to simple stress and fatigue are in the cards. With how I am now, I have no idea how I'll hold up.
Extreme idiocy is keeping me at work, but maybe I'll be around in half an hour.
Right, good luck.
Failure continues, may actually take up all week. Exciting. I'll keep you guys posted tomorrow.
Leaving now, today should be doable. Maybe 30min late? Same thing tomorrow.
Awesome, see you soon.
Okay, so starting next week making Tuesdays would be impossible for the foreseen future. As for Wednesdays, I can't make the original gamestart time which is 8pm for me, but 8:30-09:00 should be possible fairly reliably.
Okay. In that case, can we switch to Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday?
I'm fine with that. Also, even though it's lame Wednesday will have to be on a case by case basis where it comes to time, since I need to catch a bus back around 8pm and it's often full/can skip the station and what not.
That's acceptable. I'll miss more Fridays than I did Tuesdays but it's not a huge deal.
That's fair. Making the best of a bad situation. Neph?
Yes, that's fine.
Awesome. The change is so passed. We're not on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.
We'll see about this Friday, as I may have a doctor thing. Trying to schedule a flu shot and it's been a thing. This Monday is also out, routine eye doc visit. There's a chance I may be up to something, and if so great, but it's best to plan and assume that I won't be.
I don't see today happening, sorry. Movers aren't even here yet, and the work can't take less than half an hour once they're here. So either this friday, or monday.
Okay, good luck man.
I'm sick and so is Neph. A decision to run will be made at game start, as I'm borderline. I'd call it a coinflip right now. This is more of a heads up for Cor, in case he's going to be late or otherwise delayed.
Reminder: Next week's Thursday and Friday are out due to the holiday plus Black Friday.
80% chance today is a wash, I'll try to post again closer to the time.

Okay, good luck.
I'll be around in ten minutes or so.
Cool, good luck.
Don't think I can make today.
Okay, good luck.
I'll miss this Friday and the next for Christmas stuff. That's the 11th and the 18th.
Cool. I needed some down days anyway.
Monday's off, eye doc. I forgot to post this until now. Whoops.
You know how I said I may need a day or two due to holiday retail? Tomorrow may well be that day. It's not 100%, but heads up since odds are it will be.
Yeah, no session today.
No session Monday, eye doctor. This is a planned appointment, just forgot to mention it until now.
-
Won't be around Friday after next (the 29th)
Thanks for the heads up. Remind me week of.
Reminder of no session tomorrow due to eye doctor.
I'll go study tomorrow after work.
I will need to leave around 3 tomorrow.
February 22nd (a Monday) will have no session. Eye doctor. Nothing interesting, just a routine appointment.
I will not be around until just about session start today, but I will be here.
[10:32] <Kotono> Just had a bit of a proverbial issue come up. Nothing serious but I need to run out to deal with some stuff. I'm really not sure how long it'll take, so heads up. Someone post this in B5's downtime/away, since I might well be late or miss.

Reminder.
Stomach problems, may impact today's session. We'll see.
Ill myself.
Odds of a session tomorrow are iffy, getting sick.
No session, see above.
Still sick, still no session today.
Reminder: The US starts DST 2 weeks earlier than the UK and Israel. Which means Eb and Cor are out of sync with the rest of us, an hour behind and thus being ready later in the day. There's really no helping it, so we'll do the best we can for the next 2 weeks.
Won't be around this Friday (the 18th).
I won't be around this thursday (31/3).
So noted, thanks.
As you may recall, I was planning on taking this week off. It didn't happen for a variety of reasons, but I'd still like a day off from B5. I haven't taken a real day off - as in not scheduling or health related - from B5 in months, so I'm going to take today as one.
My vacation starts on the 24th, and will last to the 14th of May.

Three weeks? Awesome. Where are you going? I presume you'll be out of gaming range.
Probably. I'll be in China.
We're on for today, we'll see how it goes.
I may be a bit late today.
Sure, good luck.
Neph, since work isn't cooperating, are you up to moving today's session to tomorrow? Cor's on board if you are.
Just so I make sure i do this, yes, Saturday is fine.
I may be a smidge late.
Noted, good luck.
Due to a scheduling conflict, how does Wednesday for our make up day sound?
That should be fine.
Okay
Heads up. A tropical storm's hitting late tonight and tomorrow. It's possible I'll lose power and be a no-show for tomorrow's session. Any make up will depends on when I get power back. Hopefully we won't lose it and it's academic, but heads up in case I'm not here.
Decent chance of no session tomorrow due to RL things. If so, we'll see about a makeup day this week.
Yep, no session. What's a good make up day this week, y'all?
Any day this week is fine.
I think I can make any day next week as well.
It's also fine if you just want a day off from B5.
We're going to try for Wednesday. If that doesn't work out we may just count it as a week off. We'll see.
No session today. Family member's dealing with a medical issue, head's not going to be in the game at all.
I need to do some stuff that's going to land smack-dab in the middle of session. We'll reschedule for a weekday to compensate, what day sounds good?
Wednesday through Friday.
Thursday.
Thursday it is then.
Hurricane may be hitting us sometime Saturday, no idea about session if that happens.
I won't be around next saturday (the 15th), but I return the following monday so we could reschedule.
Any day that week should be fine.
Quote from: Corwin on October 08, 2016, 04:04:49 PM
I won't be around next saturday (the 15th), but I return the following monday so we could reschedule.
Yeah, we'll reschedule later in the week. What days of that week are good, if you know yet? If not we'll sort it out then.
Tentatively aiming for Tuesday as our make up day. That's the 18th to be clear. How's that sound?
That should be fine.
Pending Cor here which may take a bit since he's on vacation, but we'll see.
Can't answer till I'm home on monday.
The 18th should be okay.
No session today, family overload. Makeup day preferences?
Whatever day is fine.
Monday (tomorrow) or thursday.
Thursday sounds best, so we'll aim for that.
I spent most of the last twelve hours sick out of my mind. No way I'm up to DMing today. I'll see about a make up day later, we may or may not have one.
Saturdays have not been cooperative lately.
It's that time of year. You know, the time where holidays get in the way of sessions. Anyway.
November 26th's session is tentatively on. As I work in retail, I'll be coming off Black Friday, so a cancel may happen anyway. We'll see as events warrant. I give it 50/50 odds, I'll know more when I see my Black Friday week schedule tomorrow. A make up day will depend on a lot of factors.
December 24th and 31st, being Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve, are both canceled. We'll have at least one make up day for them as things will finally be human again at work. More details on that as the holiday season shapes up.
No session tomorrow, will see about a makeup as the week progresses. Will post answers to questions tomorrow.
Sure thing. Heal up from your ordeal.
Today's make up will be, very tentatively, Wednesday or Thursday. Do either of those sound good to y'all?
Works for me.
Both are fine.
We'll aim for Thursday.
Make up day Friday yes/no?
Yes
Sure
So guess who has to have plumbing work done tomorrow, again?
Yeah, tomorrow could be a thing. We'll see how fast it goes and how it shapes up.
Okay, I had a bad night's sleep due to stomach sickness, which still lingers. I'm going to cancel today since even if it clears up now and I sleep from now until session, I'll just barely be adequate. Odds are I won't be that lucky, so we'll talk about rescheduling during the week soon. Exact details TBA, since I want this stomach sickness to pass before making plans.
So noted.
Due to the holiday weekend, we will not have a make up session for this week's B5. Be there next Monday.
Plans just haven't cooperated, have family coming down and more.
How does next Tuesday sound for a make up day? That's the 25th.
Also my dad's getting surgery on May 8th, which may or may not impact that day's session. I knew it was coming, we just loss the toss of the dice to see what day his surgery was on. We'll make that up if needed, I'm not sure what's happening that day yet.
I think I have a dentist on the 25th. What about thursday that week?
That Thursday's bad for me. How about Friday the 28th?
Works for me.
That's fine with me.
Okay, something came up and Neph no showed. Everything okay, Neph?
Can we switch to tomorrow?
As you all know, this week is a cancel due to going to the doctor (like last week, bad run of luck on Mondays lately). I'm aiming for Saturday as a make up day, how does that sound?
Next Monday is a question mark, as my Dad's getting surgery. I have no idea if I'll be both here and in the mood to DM. It'll likely be a day of decision, so stay tuned.
This saturday is bad for me, I probably won't be around. As for the other days, I'm studying on wednesday but the rest work.
Tuesday and Wednesday I'd rather avoid, since I'm not sure about my coherency those days, plus B3 if I am coherent. Friday's bad for me, have work and probably some things to do too. Maybe Thursday?
Should be okay for me.
Thursday is fine.
Tech support issues. ETA ????
Okay, no session tomorrow. Dad's having surgery and too much is going on. (In fairness and full disclosure, I might do some B3 posting depending on how it works out, but I doubt I'll have 2 and a half+ hours of uninterrupted, focused time to DM this on IRC.) Makeup day is unknown since this week is a thing. In no particular order:
- Dad's surgery, including follow ups and his recovery at home.
- Family's coming down for that and other things.
- Two family birthdays later in the week.
- Home repair call for some cable stuff, smack dab in B3/5 time.
- Possibly installing a second AC.
So it may be a flat miss this week, I won't know until midweek if anything's going to be possible. If it will, it'll be later in the week. On the plus side, barring unexpected changes, this should be the last bad Monday for the foreseeable future.
If you need to take the week off don't worry about it.
I have a meeting at 3 PM, not sure if I'll be able to go past then or not, but I'll try and say something around that time.
Got 5 hours of sleep again, for the third night in a row. Keep waking up super early. Not sure if I'll have DMing in me. I'm gonna try and get some more sleep. With any luck I'm out like a light and wake up in time to DM. If I don't feel up to it, sleep through a chunk of the session or otherwise am not there, we'll reschedule for Thursday.
Roger dodger, hope you can get the rest you need.
~
I am going out to lunch at 12, I may be a few minutes late getting back.
A last moment thing came up, literally just now. Any chance we could try for tomorrow or saturday?
Let me see about those. Considering Neph's a half hour late now, today's clearly a wash. Probably not Friday, maybe Saturday, lemme see where we're at in B3 come tomorrow afternoon.
No session today, got some stuff.
Preferences on make up day?
How about friday?
Friday is good for me
I have a doctor thing 90 minutes before session. I should be done with it and back before game time, but in case I'm a bit late, you know why.
