I know there are a lot of shenanigans with times and availbility. List when/if/how iwll be good for you, especially in light of a starting date.
Well, mornings are pretty much impossible for me this semester sadly. I could possibly manage an hour or two, but even that's unlikely, and I know we've often gamed 4+ hours at a time. After mid-December is best for me.
Otherwise, the only times I can really manage is late nights and weekends, which is pretty much when you don't want to run the game >_>;
I can't really deal with the 'every day, all week' schedule of the last one. >_> Ideally, around three hardcore sessions a week would be nice, and you're familiar with my current schedule.
I'm flexible on this, though. I'll bend as much as I can, but Every Day is just too much, and I burn out. >_>
As for start dates, I'm easy. Whenever ya'll decide is fine with me. arrow
I'm thinking 2-3 episodes a week, which translates to 3 days a week of playing if all goes well.
The first couple with just Usagi may be accelerated if Eb wishes. The pace willb e more set once we get a full crew of magical girls going.
My schedule is free and clear until January when the Spring rush gets under way. At which point I'll be crushed by work for a period of about 3 weeks, or until the students coming in settle down, whichever comes first.
As for game time, I'm at work at 8am PST (11am EST) so when I get in to work, I can try to log on from there. And as far as frequency is concerned, I don't mind skipping a few days like Bean wants. I suppose it could be kick back day or omake time or...
Bean-Makoto emulates her hero Merc-Makoto and gets her soul ripped out of her body by Orestes as well! But this time she's passing in and out of consciousness so it's a day to day thing! *shock gasp*
Or not.
>_>
<_<
*flees*
As you know, I'm completely unavailable on weekdays until 6pm GMT, often 7pm. I've arranged a bit of flextime so some weeks I may get home for 5.30pm, but generally, those are my times, which are unlikely to change as long as I remain employed.
With this in mind, I think weekends work best for hardcore sessions, which limits us to 2 a week, with odds and ends done throughout the week depending on who's around.

The issue is that how it stands, I have to work every other weekend. (Another story I won't go into here.) Perhaps that may change by the start time of the game, but as of now, some weekday sessions will be needed.
Like I said, we can get some stuff done during the week, but the chances of having all of us around at any given time are damn near nil, so the big group stuff needs to be saved for weekends.

Well, every girl(Including Usagi) doesn't have to be in every episode, mind you, especially the more character centric ones. That's one thing from the canon I won't directly import for several reasons.
Okay, update time!
I'm thinking of starting this around December 1st, roughly. (EDIT - Very roughly. It could be anywhere from Thanksgivingish to the middle of December, depending on my obligations and player timings. Bear this in mind.) Let me know how this works for you, and if things are still viable. As it stands, we have two alternates right now:
Panda as Rei Hino.
C-Rat as an original character.
If you need to drop, you don't need to worry about filling a void. Though, both alternates are somewhat shaky on time as it stands, C-Rat in particular.

Anyway, post here to update your available times and what starting date is good for you. Again, the hours are from 9 AM EST to 4 PM EST most days. Don't count on being only able to play on my days off when I'ma round later than that, it won't work out. Never does.
Start of December works for me.
My times are unchanged from what I said earlier.
As of yet, life hasn't crapped on me, so I'm still good, same bat-times, same bat-channels.
December 10th is the earliest I MIGHT be able to start commiting to the game somewhat, as it's the friday right before finals week.
I have finals the following week on: monday 1:30-3:30pm, tuesday 8:00-10am, and thursday 8:00-10:00am. I then leave for the airport thursday at around 1pm or 2pm.
I doubt I'll be catering that week, though I'll have to check. If I don't, I'll be able to play around those times, if I do, then definitely by that friday, which will be the 17th.
I'll be free at -all- times until January 10th. Then, I'll be going to Las Vegas to harass the plushie (or just go with my parents to a business convention if the plushie is unharassable) until the 15th. I'll be taking my laptop though, so if the hotel has internet access (as it well should), I should still be able to play then at times also.
January 17th, I'll be back at school, though I'll be able to play fairly regularly next semester.
*looks above* complicated, no? ^_^;
Well, Bean bugged me to post here, so I guess I will. >_>;;
After thanksgiving through March-ish, I'm around in the mornings 9ish EST to 12 EST, occasionally distracted, with the occasional random five minute disappearence.
Until January, I'll also be around during the afternoon monday, wednesday, friday. I'll also be able to concentrate more during that time.
As of January, I may or may not be disappearing on those monday and wednesday afternoons. I'll probably know by the time this schedule actually takes effect.
Okay. That's most of you, and I know the details on the rest.
I'm thinking second week of Decemberish, as Splinter is dragging slightly in the wrap up.
I'll be setting an exact date by the end of the week, as soon as I get my schedule. Aiming for a day off if possible.
Okay.
I'm looking at December 17th, 2004 as the go day. The main person this concerns is Eb, obviously; is that good for you? Past that, we'll see from there.
Probably.
I'm off of flex time starting December, since so many people are on holiday, so I won't ever be getting out of work before 5pm, and the way the trains regularly shaft me, I often don't get home till 7pm.
As for the 17th specifically, I have nothing special arranged for that day.
