Is that your sunday schedule, Omni?

Omnirizon · #22 July 2nd, 2008, 03:38 PM

that's my everyday schedule. some days i'm off, others i'm not. the PLAY time is dependably available, the WORK time is sometimes available, but to be able to count on that time requires advanced notice. If we are going to plan on doing this on sundays, then I can get sundays off, maybe.

it turns out I am off all day this sunday, and would love to start this thing then.

Since you are off this coming Sunday, the 2pm-9pm slot would be good for me. That would be 12pm-7pm for me (although I think we agreed to only go four hours). I think I could fit that in.

I would want an initial blitz game of four hours, with communications done on IRC, then 24 hour turns after that. If you guys are up for that, I will join. If we are doing MA, I would like Ermor.

I'd prefer the later part of that slot, like 5pm to 9pm. Lingchih, I think you are two hours later though right?

Please continue, this is shaping up rather nicely. I wont be playing this time. Big project coming up, so i will just stay in the games that I'm playing.

The later slot would be difficult for me, since all my other games will be hosting that evening, and I religiously play all my games as soon as they host. The afternoon slot would be the best for me.

well its a tricky move for me to explain to the wife why i need to hang around indoors playing a PC game for 4 hours, and its even tougher on a sunny weekend afternoon so I will only be able to play if its later in the evening. no worries though - seems as there are enough folks anyway.

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. !!!

Yeah, I'm dyslexic like that, but only with time zones. I do that all the time.

Looks like we are not going to get the signups we need. That's fine, next week works even better for my, since, like DonCorazon said, I really should be outside having some fun on the 4th of July weekend. Of course, outside this time of year in North Texas is like trying to have fun in a blast oven.

Did you want something different than the blitz server?

I can open more if you need it.
