I'm open for the rest of the day (That I know of), but I think Nocturnal is in his day cycle (Asleep)

That's right: Eladrin can get away with a 4-hour trance but unfortunately I do need occasional sleep.

I think the crashing is a heat issue. I turned the AC up yesterday and it stopped crashing. I've turned it up again and put the server back on.

That's what it sounded like to me too. Try opening your computer's case and putting a fan near and facing it to improve airflow. Also check that your CPU fan is still working well. It is a temporary measure, but worked for a few computers that had heating issues.

Yeah, everyone should atleast open their own copies of Maptool and setup some macros for themselves and we should definetly all get together on Narf's server way before the next weekend? whenever the game ends up being so we can test whether it will comfortably handle it.

As stated previously, I'm open for whenever.

It's a good idea to stress-test the system with anyone who can get together at any time. I totally agree. If we can't get everyone together at once, you can even go ahead without me and gain some XP until I can join. The game's "standard party size" according to stuff like foraging and rituals is 5 people anyway, so if we miss one or two, that's fine. We already have one of each "role" so if even three or four of us besides the GM can get together, they should try it and have the others join when they can.

How do we make macros in Maptool? Is there a tutorial or forum topic on that someplace?

It's still weekend for most of you right? I am at work but can be available at the same time tonight (1900 GMT or 1200 PST, 22/06/08) but not sure yet about the rest of the week.

If we end up waiting for next weekend it'd be better to try Friday evening first, which is a weekend for everyone (that's Saturday morning for me.) Some of us might have cleared our schedules only to have it moved at the last minute. (Hope no one did?) Does anybody actually want more time to tweak characters?

Here's my CS, part 1.
seems I can't fit them together. Maybe because they only have a quality of 5.

Cool! If you beat the stuffing out of someone who's language you can speak, you might be able to intimidate them into surrendering!
