Gametable Tests and Multiplay Scheduling

Nope sorry. And good.... I'm not late. I won't be able to stay all that long either, but a few hours ought to be alright.

Tell me when you're ready and we can at least log on.

Okay...I'm hosting now, at 12.5.101.59 . See you soon!

Also, I didn't booger up anyone's origin during the Tinstone Warrens prologue/narrative, did I?

hey sorry guys. I hope I didn't miss anything. Took longer than I thought - we had to do some shopping around for something my dad wanted - and you know, you gotta get these things just right.

Anyway, any word on availability for next week?

Well, the usual (Sunday @ 11 PM or Monday @ 12 AM, Greenwich time...5:00-6:00 PM Central, 4:00-5:00 Mountain and 9:00-10:00 AM Sydney time) will probably work, but I might even give us a whirl at the same time on the previous day. How do you three and your schedules look for this weekend?

(And I called your house looking for you yesterday, GD, and in the process I tried to talk your [presently anonymous] wife into making a forum account here and joining us. Apparently you've chatted with her about the campaign--she referred to it as "the one where everybody plays evil guys"--and she sounded interested, if she ever has the time for such. We'll see if I was a smooth enough talker to convince her to jump in, eh? )

you just missed baby(ok, toddler really) throw up on my part...

Excepting any family medical problems, i'll be available (unless you try to pull some saturday during the morning stuff, cause i'll be working at a place the frowns upon installing stuff on the compy.

I'm free sunday morning (saturday night for you guys) at the same time. And again hopefully monday morning too. But sunday looks to be a better day of it cos my parents work and don't usually drag me around on a weekend.

Monday however.... everything's up in the air. LOL

EDIT:

Hmmm... I might be joining mum for work on sunday (morning to night) and so that might just screw things up scheduling wise. But not sure yet. I'll let you guys know. Mondays are still good for me.

Okily dokily - update.

I am available on sundays. I'm going to work with mum, but after that I have to tuck myself away with my comp and basically have the entire day to 'disappear' while she's working. So... about 7pm central on a saturday your time, I'm free. Or 11am my time.

Mondays are still in the air, but sundays should be pretty steady. that is until I get my job... lol. Anyways, I'll still try to be on mondays at the appointed time

And unless I'm mistaken, your Monday is our Sunday, and your Sunday is our Saturday....

Man, that International Date Line thingie really adds to the confusion, doesn't it?

Yep and you're not confused. My sunday morning is your saturday evening and so for my monday morn its your sunday eve.

It gets easier after a while to keep track of things. Plus, I've set my phone for your time!

Aw, you didn't have to do that!

But anyhoo, I still have a few more chores, tasks and other stuff that I spent all my workweek putting off, then I'm catching a catnap. And then--in about six hours from now, regardless of what time it is in anyone's timezone--I'll be linking up my Gametable for the Tinstone Warrens, as promised. I might even have time to jam back and forth in our regular forum posts, if anyone sticks around afterwards.

So how does tonight look for all y'alls?

I will try to be here

okay guys, I'm here now.

*poke*

Sorry guys. Gametable's not good for me today. Sorry. Anyway, yesterday was perfect for me. If its okay, can we go to saturday nights for you guys? Also - umm... sorry about today

either night is god for me for the moment. think he fell asleep? or do you think the chooks got loose? (has this image of a frenetic GM running around chasing chickens)

lol, that is a funny image

I dunno - its all good though. Mondays are hectic for me cos I never know what's going to happen. So I just wanna make it easier on you guys.

either way is good for me. moar zombie killing for me on left 4 dead

LOL! True that

Well, it looks like we are all here....except Ainsley.

Yo GD, get back on YIM. My internet stick fell out and I didn't realise it. (and here I thought you didn't want to talk to me lol)

On second thought, I've actually gotta go now. Sorry I missed ya.

Cya guys, hopefully we can actually hook this thing up next week. Poke Ainsley for me. And tell him I'm sorry.

Damn damn damn!

Hey, guys...if I set my alarm clock to 5:30, I go to bed, the alarm doesn't go off and I wake up on my own to find that the alarm has mysteriously reset itself to 12:00 midnight, is it a safe bet that we had a power bump or am I just crazy?

(Also, the computer mysteriously turned itself off, I had to turn it on again, it rebooted everything--including Steam--and there's SEAMUS on Steam telling me that I missed tonight's game....)

Damn damn damn...why does this always have to happen?

Good thing I didn't sleep all the way to midnight, huh? I wonder if the alarm would have gone off then....

Anyway, I'm hosting on Gametable now, if there's any hope of salvaging this. 12.5.101.59, the usual.

I hate this ghetto power grid we have down here...always tripping or dying on us every other weekend or so. My favorite was when I was working the gas station one Friday morning and some goofball with a trailer truck took a turn too wide and ran into a transformer pole across Highway 20. Took out power for half of Canton, and I was sitting in the dark from about 1:00 AM (Here Time) till 6:39 AM, about 21 minutes till the boss showed up to relieve me. That was a lot of lost profits and shooing off customers, let me tell you....

I should know our power grid better than this. The next time, I just need to make sure I'm not awake for 30-something hours before go time. Again, I heartily apologize for oversleeping.

Well, while I'm here I might as well get some work done, eh?

ZOMG, double post!

You do have a point; we should probably take into account that my Sunday is your Monday, and scheduling for US Saturday/Aus Sunday would probably work out better for all four of us. I had thought about running Gametable yesterday, but there was just too much to do this weekend...stuff that probably could have waited till today, come to think of it. I'm sure that the Halloween stuff and the laundry could have waited one more day; I wasn't quite running out of socks just yet.

So...next Saturday/Sunday at the usual time? And I'll make sure I get plenty of sleep the night before....

Heh...nah, the chickies don't bother breaking out of the chicken run nowadays. The few who did (Goldie, most notoriously) lost their explorer urge after realizing that there wasn't any decent food outside the chicken run. So they have the sense to stay put now.

Speaking of which, I have to go lock them up for the night. It'll only take a few minutes. And I hope the power grid's still standing when I get back....

Nah, I'm the one who should be apologizing; you were here on time, not me.

Of course, I have no way of knowing when the power outtage hit. If it had been right around 5:30-6:00 Central, then I wouldn't have been able to play anyway. All I know is that I was only going to sleep for four hours, and it struck sometime in that window. And my clock is one of those self-synchronizing types (which apparently links up to satellites or something), so I can't look at the clock's erroneous display and do simple subtraction to figure out when the power bump hit.

Whatever the case, it would be nice if the clock didn't forget when I set the alarm to go off, though.

LOL, don't worry about it. I'll be here next Sunday waiting for you guys. Of course I will be on from 7pm your time. Rather than the usual 5pm. And on Monday I will show up as well. Unless I find out I can't and edit this post. LOL.

Hope you had good deams!

Oh, man...it's been a crazy enough weekend so far. These houseguests are really starting to get on my nerves....

Anyway, just checking in to let y'all know that we're still on for today...about 1.5 hours from now. I hope to see all of you then!

heyya, i'm online!
