DM Drought

[Rotku]

As a large proportion of TSMs DMs are currently very occupied with real life, I've offered to Curm to come and do some guest DMing.

So starting, probably next week, I'm planning on getting online for three or so hours every day, at (pre-announced) varying times, hopefully enough to cover both major timezones, Euro and US. However, this will only last between 2 and 4 weeks (depending on work), and I will be taking the odd day off in the middle for study. Hopefully what I am able to offer will take a bit of pressure off the DMs, and give a bit of entertainment to the players and all plots I've got planned will be short, so none are hopefully left hanging.

Anyway, my reason for posting now is two fold. As well as to let you guys know, I want to know who is still around and active, and at what times. My thoughts for DMing times were:

FOLLOWING TIMES ARE ESTIMATES ONLY. CHECK POSTS BELOW FOR MORE ACCURATE TIMES

Monday : 11am Rotku Time (RT or +12 UTC I think) [ie. 3 hours and 2 days before this post]
Tuesday : 9am RT
Wednesday : 11am RT
Thursday : 3pm RT
Friday : 9am RT
Weekend : Off

I'm not sure how they translate to any other timezone, but I'm hoping they would work for both Euro and US players. If anyone has any suggestions about how this could be varied, feel free to speak up. Other than Wednesday and Tuesday (which I can't go later) I'm flexible.

Game Times
Monday 15th : 11am-1pm
Thursday 18th : 1pm-4pm
Friday 19th : 9am->
Monday 22nd : 11am-2pm

Rotku, you're as welcome as the spring! Nice of you to step out - welcome back!

A. Thanks for stepping forth at a crucial point, Rotty.

B. Active in US EST. tz evenings. Would like to see some new players get some lovin, so dm them first plz!

[Mick]

Thanks for stepping up, Rotku.

I too am active in US EST evenings. I agree with Dan. There is a lot of new blood around the server. Please show them a good time!

[Rotku]

So my 11am comes to 7pm EST (the previous day), from what I can see. So Monday at 11am would be your Sunday at 7pm. Does that work for you east coasters, or is that too early?

The 3pm time seems to come to 11pm EST and 8pm PST.

Oh, and plots will be largely non-combat, so hopefully all levels can get in on the action (hopefully).

Cheers Rotku for doing this.

Hello Rotku!

Welcome to ALFA, good luck with your second DMship!

[dob85y]

There is one major timezone you missed, and I know you know the one im talking about.

[Rotku]

Yeah, I know. And yeah, I thought about you guys. But in the end of the day, that involves me DMing either (a) late at night; or (b) during the weekends. Neither of which I'm willing to do. So when you move that island of yours...

[Riotnrrd]

Hope to make some time if schedule permits.

Have been AFK as a player and DM myself for a while due to RL. Thanks Rotku on behalf of those who still have the time to play!

Plan to be on roughly 24 hours from this post.

[Rotku]

Going to be taking the next two days off. Got an exam coming up and haven't quite got as much study done as needed. But will be back thursday, about this time. That's 72ish hours from now.

[Rotku]

25 hours from now. Would be great to see those who were there on Monday back again. Of course, everyone else is more than welcome. The tone this time will be... different, to say the least

[Rotku]

Oh, and updated my first post (at the end of it) with times for Friday and the following monday as well.
