For those times you have to miss a session. Post here for all your awayness needs.
This game will most likely kick off on October 1st, or the first day after that if we don't have Wednesday as a gaming day.
Next week just got into a bit of flux. My mom's supposed to go for surgery on Thursday, so it shouldn't cause any issue, but there's a chance we might have to take her in early for some last minute tests. So I may have to bail. Sort of an important thingy.

No problem, we'll see how it goes. That's a danged good reason to miss a session!
I will, in fact, probably be missing tomorrow. My mom's surgery got pushed to 1 pm on Wednesday. There's a chance I might be home in time for the surgery, but probably not.
Sorry guys.

Alright then, we're aiming for Thursday to be our start day now.
So, possibly shittier news. Docs just talked to my mom. Apparently there are two ways to do the surgery; a small cut or a big 'un. If they do the big one, she'll have to stay overnight, which pretty much leaves me free on Thursday since she'll still be in the hospital.
If they do the small one, she comes home the same night, but I'll have to take her the following day, on Thursday, for a follow up appointment/inspection thingy. Which they're saying will be around 1:30-ish in the afternoon. =/
So, until her thing finishes, there's a 50/50 chance I won't be around Thursday either. Ffffffffffffffffffffffffffff-
We'll just see how it goes then. G'luck with your Mom.
Looks good for tomorrow. I should be around, but I might have to step away if she needs something. Friday I'll likely be gone, though.
Awesome. WE're on for today then, pending any problems.
Hate to do this again, but this Thursday I'm going to have to be absent. At least I can give better notice this time.

Duly noted, thanks for the heads up.
It's looking like I'm going to be out of town the 16th-19th. Next Thursday through Sunday. My bro and I had a trip planned that got put off because of the surgery, but since she's mostly up and around, we're going to go forward with it.
We're supposed to be leaving Thursday afternoon, but we haven't pinned down a time yet, so there's a chance I might be around for at least part of a session.
I will be unavailable Monday the 20th.
EDIT: Small correction, I have an appointment at 3:15, so I could certainly make a session an hour and a half or so. Not sure how you want to handle it.
EDIT2: Actually, I could probably make it until about 3. So it's still up to you.

I'll make a decision at the end of the week, pending next week's work schedule. I sort of need to burn a day next week anyway.
Up super-late due to reasons, in case I oversleep and miss session start.
I have to cut out early on the game today. My brother just got called into work on an emergency and my mom has a doctor's appointment at 2:30 CST that I have to take her to.

Okay, what time do you have to leave?
About 2-2:15 CST

About 2-2:15 CST
That's 3-315 EST, so we're okay. We just pause a few early.
Reminder: Cor and Eb end DST next week, so next week's times will be a bit dodgy. We'll do as best we can with what we have.
To cut a long and boring story short: No session today. However, y'all are on a ship without much else to do. This would be a good time for y'all to get together and get to know each other. Stretch your RPing legs a bit, that sort of thing. Hint, hint, hint.
[spoiler]
Longer story? I was hungry after work and ate a big, heavy dinner. I then sat down at the computer and got under a blanket. It was the first chilly night of the season, so I was all warm and comfortable. I was like cool, I can do all this prep I need to and get everything in or-zzzzz.
Yeah. It was the sort of sleep where you don't realize you fell asleep until you wake up, all confused. I hate when that happens, but at least I slept well.
Running kind tight on time too. Mechanical issues.
May be late today. It may or may not matter depending on how fall back DST works out for Cor/Eb today. Anyway, gotta run.
I will almost certainly miss tomorrow (Tuesday). I have a bunch of errands to do and won't get started on them until session start time or so. Sorry, circumstances aren't cooperating.
I had an extremely bad night of sleep (5 hours of broken sleep), so it's possible I might miss part or all of today's session. If I do, it's probably because I fell asleep before the session. I'll try not to, but we'll see how it goes.
Before I forget, I will not be available this Thursday.
I may be late today but I will be here.
I might have to cut out early. I likely have to do a couple things for my mom around 2:15-2:30ish central.
So the holidays are coming up. The following days will be canceled.
Thursday, November 27th. It's Thanksgiving.
Wednesday, December 24th. It's Chrismas Eve.
Thursday, December 25th. It's Christmas.
Wednesday, December 31st and Thursday, January 1st are tentatively still on. I usually don't have any problems making those days, but that doesn't mean all of you will.
It's also likely I'll miss a few days in December for rest days. As I work retail, this should be expected. Also, there's a small but non-zero chance I'll miss Monday, December 1st. Depends on how Black Friday weekend works out.
In general, expect me to be a bit more tired and slower to deal with things in December. Bear with me since I'll likely be drained. If you know you'll miss other days for holiday related things, post here so we can sort the holidays out.
Internet outage. Phone posting, no current ETA from provider.

Right, thanks for the heads up.
I'll very likely be late tomorrow, on the 20th. Half an hour is my expectation, I'll post if it changes.
Yeah it's gonna take ages. Probably an hour.

That's fine, today will be a short, semi-optional wrap up session anyway. I could use a quiet day, got up early doing things.
I think I'll be late by half an hour to an hour this tuesday.
50/50 chance of no session tomorrow. I'm drained and have zero focus. Physically tired and just not feeling it right now. A night's sleep might fix this, so we'll see in the morning.
No session today. We'll see how I feel tomorrow.
And today?
Feeling better in general, so we're on if we can all make it. I think you said you'd be late?
I'll be there in an hour and change.
I'm going to have tutoring on Tuesday. Time isn't locked down yet, but I think it'll likely have me missing.
No session today, have to help my Mom since she's still messed up from surgery.

I *should* be around, but I might be a little late on Tuesday.
If we run today, I may be just a few minutes late.
I won't be around tomorrow, office Christmas dinner snuck up on me.
That's fine. This week's been a right proper mess, but I'm the last one to say thing one.
There's a chance I might be late tomorrow. I'm going to a job interview, and I'm not sure how long it'll take. If it looks like I'll miss instead of just being late, I'll make a post via phone.

Sure thing, good luck. What's the job?
There some huge furniture store opening literally about 5 minutes away from my house. Close enough that if I use my bike, I'll literally use like 1 gallon a week going to work. And by huge, I mean like 106 truck bays. They're hiring for a host of jobs, but I'll be going for admin/security/warehouse jobs.

G'luck. Knock it out of the park and land a job.
No session today. Also may be late tomorrow, doctor's appointment. The two are related.
Monday will be a game time decision, I think.
No session today. Edit: Er, Monday.
No Tuesday session.
Also probably won't be on IRC much/at all.
Rest of the week is canceled. Eye's gotten worse today, have an appointment tomorrow.
Starting Feb. 2, I won't be able to play on Mondays and Fridays. I got a job and the schedule is Fri-Sat-Sun-Mon, 9 AM to 9:45 PM. It's unfortunate, but it was the only way I could load the schedule to get as much of the week off as I could. (Which I did for school-time, not game-time, but it works out for both.)

Noted Iddy. We'll cross that bridge when we get to it.
Okay, next week is Christmas week. That rules out Thursday and Wednesday, so we'll see about getting in a Monday or Tuesday. If not, not. Depends on how I'm going.
Tentatively aiming for a Monday session. IF that happens, we'll see about Tuesday on Tuesday.
I won't be around tomorrow.
Okay, on to Tuesday.
Tomorrow's session will be a game time decision. Still sick and I slept a ton yesterday (like to 330 PM), so we'll see. If I no show, assume I'm sleeping like mad.
Work a shut. Will be late.

A shut?
Anyway, noted and good luck.
Heading home. Be in by the hour mark.
I'll probably be 40min late.
No session next Thursday, have an eye doctor thing that involves a needle in the eye.
I'm going to have to miss Monday session. There's a number of things I have to get done between school and family, unfortunately.
Righto, thanks for the heads up.
I'm going to have to miss next Thursday. School starts on Wednesday, and I have to meet my tutor to discuss meetings and jazz.
I have a meeting at 11:30. They usually last an hour to an hour and a half, but sometimes go on a little longer. I will be here though.
Might be a smidge late.
Right-o, both a day old Neph and today's Eb post.
Okay, more school related semi-bad news. Since I'm starting work in Feb with only Tues-Weds-Thurs off, I've had to schedule my tutoring around those days. Tues and Thurs I have to meet my tutor at 3 pm CST, which means I have to leave the house around 2 pm CST. I believe this is one hour earlier than we normally end gaming.
If that causes too much of an issue, let me know and I'll talk to Dune about options.
Having some stomach problems, may cancel today. More information later, just a heads up now.
Will likely be late today. I'll send an update later.
Right, good luck. Do what you have to.
But I don't have a shotgun, that's Iddy.
I can loan you one. I've got extras.
I may be late. If I am, I can run late if y'all want, since I'm off today.
I gotta leave at 2pm, but if you split me off and run the others that'd work.
I'm still at work. Might leave in ~15 and log in from my laptop.

I mentioned it to Dune, but I forgot to post. I've got a dentist appointment today so I won't be around.
If Neph and Eb are around early, we could finish up the lizard scene real quick and then split me off to go buy the lizard and you guys can keep going.
Okay. A few people have asked me about Iddy since his schedule will be changing. My plan right now is thus.
1. Give the first week of it a fair shake, see how it looks. Not only for when he's around, but how he's holding up. Iddy's free time is going to be dropping like a rock, and this in turn will likely have knock on effects.
2. After that week, make a decision based on what's up and how likely things look.
Iddy, what's the first week of your work/school combo?
Feb. 2.
> Hey, my mom's car just died on the side of the road.
> I've gotta go get her and get the battery checked. I'll try to be as fast as I can.
I might be late, but I'll be here.
In a taxy headed home, likewise.
Oh. Regardless of whatever else may or may not be happening then with Iddy, no sesion on Feb 9th. Eye injection day.
I might miss a day next week, it's still in the air. More details as they become available.
I'll probably miss more than a day. Just got this in an email:
"Monday, February 2nd from 8:30 AM to 5PM . At your New-Hire Orientation will be given your working hours through Friday, but plan on working the entire week. Since the store is not open, most employee's work a schedule of 8:00 to 5:00 the first week."

Okay.
Since we're in a social thing - and Veren got a nice bonus just last session - I'll have Veren NPCed as needed. Seems like the fairest way to work this out.
Works for me!
Indeed. Plus if you do make it and circumstances permit, we can weave you back in.
I will probably miss Thursday. It's not 100% and I'll try to work something out, but it's iffy.
Might be a bit late.

Disregard this, appointment got moved to that Friday.
I'll be here, errands got pushed to tomorrow. Why did they get pushed back, you ask? I had a not so good night thanks to stomach issues. In case I randomly and silently away for a good while during session, you know why.
May be late tomorrow due to put off errands. More on this tomorrow.
I may have to cut early. My mom's car is busted and she's got a doctor's appointment and a couple errands (meds pick up and what-not) that she needs a ride for. Unsure when she's wanting to go.
Will definitely be late, barring incredible luck.
I've just been informed that my mom has a doctor's appointment tomorrow at 11:30am. Because of the car troubles she's having, I'm going to have to take her. I have no idea how long it'll take or when I'll be back.
Might be late, might have to leave mid session. Got things going on today, though nothing's settled yet. Fingers crossed.
Might be a few minutes late.
Confirming no session today.
Weather here in DFW is bad. Sleet and stuff. My mom has a doctor's appointment tomorrow at 12:30 CST. If the roads aren't clear enough for her by tomorrow, I'll have to take her.
Looks like I'll be late.
Probably an hour. Let's just aim for tomorrow.
Done. G'luck.
The snowstorm last night knocked out power. We're back up now, but in case I vanish due to it going down again? Heads up.
Service issues. Hopefully resolved shortly.
Right, good luck.
I might be late today. I'll be here either way.
Off chance I'm late.
I bought a new computer yesterday, so I'm going through the process of organizing files and sorting them into one ZIP file for transfer. I have the final file compressing now, but it'll take a bunch of time and it's running the computer fairly hard.
I'm going to have to either skip or be late today. My mom's having car trouble again.
I have a meeting at 1pm that should be about 30 minutes. Since we're still in DST I don't think it'll be an issue, but in case I'm a little late.
Don't think today is happening. I'll be late.
I'm going to need to probably leave the session a bit early tomorrow. Need to get some errands done. I'll likely take off at about 2 pm CST. Which is like an hour early I think.
Won't be around early today, since I: know a few people are looking for me. Errands.
