Your all purpose away/going to be late/not going to be here thread. Hopefully this won't see much use.
So I'l be 30-40 minutes late for the first three weeks. Good times. Totally forgot about something I have every Tuesday night.
I was initially correct. Two more weeks of being late, and then I will be available for all of game time.
I may be late today. Boss is sick, and I was volunteered to take her place at the HAZOP meeting (which has been ongoing all last week already, runs all day, and then I have to type up notes). So I expect to leave for home at least an hour later than usual.
Okay, next session is July 3rd. That's the day before the 4th of July in the US (duh). Will there be any holiday conflicts for anyone?
At the moment, I have absolutely no conflicts. That may change as we get closer to the date, but I'm fairly confident that nothing will be going on the day before.
Ditto. I have no conflicts. July 4th itself is busy, but that's irrelevant for this.
Nope.
Nope!
I am not aware of the Cid's presence being required for something other than gaming on this date.
Congratulations, you just got houseruled!
>_>
At least I wasn't doing it in-character?
I may be absent for the July 10th game. I'm going out of town the week prior and I'll likely either still be gone, or may be too wiped out to play if I get back the night before.
Just a heads up.
Also, for tonight's game (July 03), I'm going to have to cut out a bit early. Since we're going camping and white water rafting, I have to take my bro shopping for gear after he gets off of work. He finishes work at around 6 pm, and most of the stores we need to go to shut down around 9-10pm.
Game starts at 6 pm, so I'm going to have to cut out at 8 pm. The best I could do guys.
Since yuth tends to be late and there's no work tomorrow for me and presumably Cid et al, why don't we start late and run late? How long would shopping take?
And would anybody else be able to run late with tomorrow being a holiday? Above assumes thats not an issue obviously.
Iddy just said he's leaving early!
I'm willing to start late and run late, if Iddy wishes to do so.
I hate to burst your bubbles, but I can't run late tonight.

Iddy just said he's leaving early!
I know. I was suggesting he do the shopping early while you're out :p
Dune can't run late though, so alas!
Going to be 45-60 minutes late. Work is running long.
Just a heads-up: My times will change when I start my new job on the 20th of next month.
So IRC is being retarded and not letting me on, hasn't today or yesterday. HOPEFULLY this will not continue until Tuesday, but wanted to toss that out now just in case. Also to let folks know why I've been offline. <_<
Ouch. Good luck, with that.
At least you're having some internet access.
Have you tried Mibbit, by any chance? See if that might connect in the worst case that you can't with your normal client?
Good luck!
Okay, so I've tried mibbit in case mIRC can't get working. And...mibbit works at least, but I can see why this is a "worst case scenario" thing. I've had it up for less then 5 minutes and miss actual mIRC already. >_<
Yeah, it's pretty last ditch.
Casually, have you tried a new install of MIRC in a different folder?
Crisis averted. Simply informing Stelas that there was a problem made the problem go away. He didn't actually have to DO anything, mind. Just...I dunno, mIRC decided to behave once it knew I'd told on it or something. -_-;
We have storms rolling in here. Heads up in case I vanish abruptly.
Well shit. My class next semester is on Tuesdays.
I should be able to get a connection while there and be around via tablet, but my response will likely be slow.
Okay, we'll see how it goes then. When do your classes start?
I believe my first class is August 6, but I'll have to double check.
Right, post when you know for sure.
Just called. It is on the 6th. So the first class is on the 7th.
Right, okay. As I said, we'll see how you connecting on a tablet works out.
Regarding school: my last day of summer class is this wednesday. I can switch to gaming another weekday after tomorrow's session. Actually, I will have to after the 27th as I also have classes on tue/thu on the fall semester.
Okay, so let's ask this again: Coming up, what days of the week are good for everyone? Sundays are flat out. Edit: I'd prefer Wednesdays or Fridays, truth all be told. Saturdays are doable.
Weekdays are going to be next to impossible for me soon. I'll be 30-60 minutes late with the current times. Saturdays would PROBABLY be better, at least for the first 3 months.
Any day but Tuesday is good for me.
Fri/Sat/Sun are out for me. Any other day is fine.
Tuesday this week, whenever for next 3 weeks (until 28th), anything but tue/thu afterwards afterwards.
No particular days are out for me, though I would prefer not Friday/Saturday since I'm generally up early for gaming weekend mornings (the fact that I am up equally early weekdays for work is of course totally irrelevant).
I would prefer the game time to not be weekends if at all possible. I'd hate to have to choose between what little social life I do have and this awesome game.
However, if it must be done, early Saturday afternoons is probably best, barring my family needing me for something. Here's hoping that doesn't happen.
Not gonna make session tonight. :/
Damn Merc, rotten luck.
---
Okay. It looks like Wednesdays are the most realistic day here. Yuth, with you're current schedule shenanigans, let's see how that works out before deciding about you. I hate to put you as possibly the odd one out here, but between your move and all weekdays being bad for you, I don't have much choice right now. Hopefully we'll work something out or shift the hours up a bit once we know.
For now we'll keep on Tuesdays, but after this next week or the week after we'll switch.
So I have a choice between gaming tonight, and taking the only chance I'll get until Sunday to have a hot shower. Well, sunday or whenever the landlord finally fixes our gas, whichever comes first. ...so, Sunday.
Was planning on being here to play, but if Merc's gonna miss the whole game I may want to go for the shower instead. Is anyone else gonna have trouble making it or miss chunks of session or whatever? With one gone, if anyone else is gonna be gone/spotty, I'll just suggesting calling it and then heading down with jenna to her mom's place to catch a shower tonight.(Apologies if the above is kinda incoherent, I just got up)
Can we do Thursday this week, then? I'm free for it, unlike most Thursdays coming up.
I can, yeah.
Thursday is fine with me.
Yarp. Works.
Sure.
Thursday would be great. Problems with school project that's due tomorrow was my reason for cancelling, so I'll have no problems with a moved session!
Thursday it is. Be ready!
Prooooobably gonna be late tonight.
Read up turtle!
Oh I missed this page.
Based on what Yuth said elsewhere, I'm guessing he won't be here tomorrow. Heads up. Assuming so, who wants to robo Hamish?
Maybe. Evening is possible tomorrow, but it's very likely I'll be late.
G'luck then, Yuth!
Reminder! We game tonight!
Possible storms tonight, in case I vanish or am late.
Whether or not I will be around for game tomorrow is ENTIRELY UNPREDICTABLE
I'm mobile. If I can make it tonight, I need someone to put up logs for me.
Duly noted. It'll be taken care of.
Reminder - we switch to Wednesday this week.
Heads up: I will be attending a family function from September 14th through September 21st. (I.E.- Goin' to Disneyworld, bitches!)
My SSD is, as of now, bricked. Firmware update apparently fucked up. Hope I can get it fixed.
Update: Okay. Well. The system booted up on its own this time. Got the new card in. Everything *seems* to be working. We'll see if anything melts.
Going to be 20-30 min late, just got out of work
No session on September 5th. I've mentioned this a few times but here's a new reminder.
I will attempt to be around for today's session, but the sick is still hitting me pretty hard, so if I feel I can't deal with it, I'm gonna bail. Won't really know until we get there though, just wanted to put this up anyway.
Okay, g'luck.
Remember, we do game tonight everyone.
I'm probably going to be absent tomorrow.
Take a break Merc, geez.
I was kinda hoping I'd feel better by now, but I don't. I feel like I got the hell kicked out of me today. I kind of just want to go lie down. If we didn't run today, my heart will not break. If you guys really wanna game though, I can tough it out.
I'm going to miss this week as well. Ten hour meeting that day and drive home and just how work is going in general means I won't be in any shape to game.
*Ten hours?* Good god, man, I can barely stay awake through one hour of meeting. What manner of fiends are you working for?
Baatezu, Baator and Hell?
HAZOP meetings start at 6am, and go all the way to 5pm. And they last as many days as it takes to get through stuff (we've tentatively scheduled two days for it, wednesday and thursday).
We do get an hour lunch break, and the company provides the breakfast + lunch free, so that's something. Some 5 minute breaks here and there too.
So. Unfortunateness. One of my classes didn't have enough students sign up, so I had to take a different class at the last minute. And the only one they had that I needed is on a Wednesday.
I should be able to log on for Wednesday, but until I figure out how much attention/participation I need to give the class, I may not be able keep playing. =/
Okay, we'll see how it goes this week and work from there.
So, I'm currently severely sick. Migraine, nausea, sore throat (almost can't talk). So, if I'm not feeling by 4 pm today (the time I usually leave), I won't be going to school.
That doesn't mean I'll be around; if I've still got a pounding migraine, I'm not going to want to stare at a monitor for five hours.
But the odds of me being around just went up.
No show, work today.
Whatever Iddy had last time, I've got myself. Headache, puking, and fever.
Please kill Iddy ingame for giving me this horrible illness. Probably not going to be able to make it tonight.
We're three people down and Yuth'll be late on top of it, so I'm going to call off the session.
Yay, I guess. I only just got home, but nice to know I missed nothing. <_<
The bad: Iddy can't do Wednesdays any more. Is there another day we can all make or is this unrealistic?
The only nights I can't do are Tue/Thu, though that's only until December 4th, last day of class. Otherwise, the only thing marking inability to pop in are long nights at work. Which I can't predict, obviously.
Tuesdays are bad for me, too. I'm on 'campus' at an airport. Every other day is cake, though.
If Wed is out for Iddy and Tues/Thurs are out for Merc, then it sounds like Monday is our best bet?
Monday is out for Dune, I believe, due to football. And we all know Friday is out for you. Don't recall who was affected by weekends (besides Dune on sunday for football again), but I think that was bad too.
If it's an option between Iddy and I, I would recommend moving to Thursday, since my availability with work already means I may be missing wednesdays once in a while, and things should calm for me by end of november, when this project is supposed to be done, and my last day of class is Dec 4th.
Okay. After consultations and various RL considerations, I don't think Thursdays are going to work for me. We're going to stick with Wednesdays for now. This functionally puts Iddy out until his class ends in mid December. I'd like to simply remove Iddy's PC for now and have him rejoin when his class is finished.
Just have him join his old PC and Zeph's PC on their quest for the Lady of Dreams, and later rejoin us as the sole survivor of a series of tragic events that killed the old PCs! =p
The November 21st session is the day before Thanksgiving. Is that going to be a problem for anyone?
No.
Ask me closer to the day, dunno just yet.
Going to be about an hour late
Duly noted. May work release you from its grasp.
Hey! My schedule is changing again on Dec 3! I'll be two additional hours late every day from then on!
So you won't be getting in until about 10 PM EST?
Yup. Might have to drop game altogether.
Sounds like it. Is this every day/permanent?
Yup. Very sad, but it's the earliest I could possibly get out of work.
Yeah, that's basically a motherfucker.
So I appear to be coming down with something. Will attempt to be around, may not be if I just can't focus come gametime.
So just out of curiosity, is there a game tomorrow?
I don't see why there wouldn't be? Far as I know it's still you, me, gate, and Cid.
Because Ko asked if it was going to be a problem and I was the only one to say no! And Gate asked Ko to ask again closer to Thanksgiving! And if we get any closer, a bunch of demonic turkeys will invade Ysgard and slaughter everyone!
We look to be on as of now.
Well alrighty then!
Yeah, i may be late, but I'll be here.
Oustanding. We'll be on, don't miss it!
I will attempt not to be slain by pyrofey.
You will FAIL!
I hope you have asbestos underwear.
