Picking a new game time

Post by ayergo »

So I'm a Euro now. The old start time doesn't quite work anymore, but what if we just bumped it a bit? Say 11pm-midnight ish for Friday night? Is that too late for the East Coast folks?

We could do that Saturday as well or something, I seemed to catch a lot of people on at that time anyway this weekend. Let me know what works for you!
There's a place I like to hide
A doorway that I run through in the night
Relax child, you were there
But only didn't realize and you were scared
It's a place where you will learn
To face your fears, retrace the years
And ride the whims of your mind

Ha. I suppose if you’re willing to be ready to play by 5am then I can try to hold out for an 11pm start. :)

I am fine with 11pm, actually works better for me. Only thing I ask is that we start at 11pm, not like 2 hrs later or I will be asleep at the keyboard a lot.

I'm willing to give it a try, but I make no promises I'll remain awake for the whole session. :?
If the enemy is an ass and a fool and a rating
coxcomb, is it meet, think you, that we should also,
look you, be an ass and a fool and a prating
coxcomb? in your own conscience, now?

Sounds like a plan. Peeps are typically on for a few hours before official gametime anyway working their character plots and rp and prepping. If I can make a suggestion, tailoring the action to a 2-3 hr time frame would be a good fit, especially with a later start for sleepy ESTers. I know intent doesn’t always equal practice, and we’re bound to drag into early Saturday morn on occasion, but aiming for 3 hours sounds reasonable.

Cheers, Pete

Agreed on this. Ok, I think we have a plan then!

I can play 23:00 - 02:00 EST. But not tonight. My eye is still a sphere of haze.
