Almost comical.
Omni: I can play anytime but the middle of the day.
Lingchih: I can play anytime during the middle of the day.
Let's look at THIS sunday specifically. So Omni, if you don't work on this sunday, speak up, so we know if you're good for a more mid-day slot this week.
What I am thinking, is that it would be nice to revisit with another intense playing session, but that we will only plan on 4 hours this sunday, and then something like a 30h quickhost afterwards. If we all can get together the next week to finish it up, that would be great, otherwise we'll still get straight to the meat of the game in one day. I haven't had IRC for some time, but I don't remember it being hard to use at all, IRC WILL be required for participation in this game. Not only so that turn hosting can be done as fast as absolutely possible, but also so that you can actually have some kind of diplomacy with turns going by at a few minutes apiece.
I may be willing to host this match if no one else wants to jump on it. It's very rare for me to take my comp offline, so should be no problems there. And I'm not sure I want to use Llama for this, as it seems to me that PBEM would be cumbersome for the type of game we're looking at, I would like to be directly connected.
And yeah, Ling, I think you converted backwards. If you're in Texas, then you're 2 hours later, not 2 hours earlier. So you're 12-7 is actually 10-5 here.
I'd tentatively shoot for 1pm-5pm PST then - please post to confirm your reservation for the July 6th game. If we don't get at least 6 signups, I'm going to blame the holiday, and we'll take the extra week to try again on the 13th. Hope this all sounds good to everyone!
!!! Details are now listed in the second post of the thread. Signup with nation choice if you can make this time slot and would like to play. Don't forget to vote whether you want the NO RUSH variant, or want FULL CONTACT for the first session. Remember we will postpone a week if there are not enough signups. !!!
