AMIA ARCHIVE • View topic

Ok.. so when is a good time to make that right turn and not go left? :idea:

Cross-post from the BRB thread in Off Topic:

I've been away from Amia fora few days, if anyone has noticed. Taking a self-imposed sudden break because I realized that nothing at all Amia-related was holding my interest. Seriously I would so beat up some bosses then say 'now what?'. So, I'll be back soon™ but I'm semi paying attention to the important forum stuff.

UD addition: I've not answered a few PMs, and I'm sorry about that. But, consider that no news is good news (it usually is with Zrae). Things are progressing without me, though, (ie what Mimiron posted in the Vanguard forums) so that's good :> Which is actually what I was hoping!

Hope you regain your groove and return to terrorise the jaluken once more.

On another note, I'll be able to get back on Amia in about ~12 hours from this time of posting.

I'm available most hours, and would love to participate. Lemme know when!

I'm game if it happens before late sunday.

RL has taken hold of me for the coming weeks-finals approaching after that.

I'll be on for an hour or so in 30 minutes from the time of this post!

I'm out Friday - Saturday, away from my gaming computer taking a trip to the beach.

Good news. I somehow installed NWN on this laptop and might be able to log in to Amia in the near future. Assuming it can handle Amia in all its glory, it handles single player okay enough.

Bad news. My internet has fucked itself and needs fixing, posting this from a fastfood restaurant with free wi-fi which is to show how much I love you all.

back when I used to play WOW, I would play on a laptop on free wi-fi in coffee shops, but some coffee shops worked better than others... lol.

I will be out of town this Sunday. I am available this weekend up until about midnight Saturday CDT.

Hey everyone. My freetime for the next three weeks is as follows:
•Wednesday 7 May: evening 7pm-1am CDT.
•Saturday 10 May: from 4pm-whenever CDT.
•Sunday 11 May: whenever I wake up-6pm CDT.
•Monday 12 May: evening 7pm-1am CDT.
•Wednesday 21 May: 7pm-1am CDT.
••I return to typical times after that.••

Just a reminder, I am out until Monday, and only a vague forum presence, at best, until then. I know you guys are PMing me and I will reply as soon as I am back in town.

How many pms do you get per day?

Hovers around 10.

Sometimes a lot more, sometimes less.

Will you be here next weekend, Dusty, and at what times?

I may be around. I may not. There is a lot up in the air for me right now RL side and that trumps NWN. I will ask if someone can cover for a weekend something if I can't make it. There is simply too little of my time to go around.

I will be around tomorrow for sure though. Wednesday Night: 6:15pm-8pm CST.

I'd like to get back to a regular weekend time for drow to meet up and shit.

Would around 1am Sunday GMT be acceptable for most fellows as a regular meet up time? I believe that used to be our old meet up time.

Time zone issue, Europe will fall out (like me), excluding very long nights though.
If you go for Sat 23:00 in Sydney (Australia), you have Sat 14:00 in the UK and Sat 8:00 Houston (Texas).
Or Sat 17:00 Houston (Texas), Sat 23 UK, Sun (next day) 8:00 Sydney (Australia).
(yes, no 8:00 for UK because Houston is 6 hours behind)

Edited/added:
I see 2 windows relatively good to -start- a meeting and rampaging (cause it will last a few hours I imagine):
(now, how to make a spreadsheet on the forum...)
24 hour clock system
Texas 7-9 is UK 13-15 is Sydney 22-24
Texas 16-18 is UK 22-24 is Sydney 7-9

Yes. I like the time laq offered. Though we may loose out on the american playerbase.

It all boils down to which timezone we need to favour, and sadly, it's the American. Why? Dustspray101, our resident underdark DM, sports a timezone of -6.

His playtimes are Evening based.

We most probably need to aim for a meet up time between 18:00 - 23:00 GMT-6

Thats 14.00 (2 if the afternoon) GMT/universal tineOne

I think we can't afford to lose American playerbase due to the current power balance in the UD.

I'd prefer the second window from these two I've placed above, yet the first one is also fairly comfortable.

Definitely the second window because it probably suites dusty the best.

With how up in the air my time has been, if you guys need to run with a Euro time and DM just let me know. I can pass along what they should keep in mind. Ideally we should have more staff to watching the UD in my stead as my times are going to get really weird this year.

Analog kid or Hudson are maybe up for the job?

I like the 22-24 Saturday GMT time.

Me too on second though. (Means I do not need to sit up until morning)

I don't mind playing 'stand in', but as far as euro times go, that will make me a sketcy substitute as I'm eastern time (GMT-5). RL is kicking my teeth in a bit too with my work sched, and sick dad. I'll do what I can of course, I'll just have to ask for some patience from you guys right up front.

Worry not, drow can wait, drow are survivors...

Drow Saturday hangout!

Sigh. Too bad I can't get IG this time of day

Time until next hangout! :mrgreen:

The update went in, but I am out for the next week-potentially 3 months. My computer kernel panicked last night and depending on why it panicked will determine how much money I need to raise in order to get rolling again.

Oh dang ): Looks like me and Zanthair will have to figure something out for our subplot.

DOH!

I have to vacuum my computer out every once in a while. (yes, with an actual vacuum cleaner) If I don't it will overheat and "blue screen of death" on me.

Analog Kid has expressed that he can help cover the UD. Feel free to poke him some and CC me on the PMs, but be gentle. :wink:

You will be dearly missed and your return an event we look forward too.

In other news, reduced to sponging off McDonalds' wireless internet again. Once again looking for other sources of internet.

It looks like it is more cost efficient to purchase a new machine. It will unfortunately take me a month or two to save up enough to do so.

Quick, everyone dog-pile Analog!

Sorry to hear that Dusty :[

Good news everyone!

I should have a machine by Thursday!

However, it will be another week and a half before I get my hands on an OS capable of running NWN.

Sweetness

I'm going to have my laptop up and running faster than I expected (they've said 3 weeks, it's less than 2 now) yet I'm a bit confused about coming back to play the Personal Scribe of a recently dumped char, so I'll see ^^'

And welcome back Dusty!

Just a reminder for the next drow meet up at 22pm GMT Saturday, Vanguard meeting ahoy! I would like to get started early as possible since I have to bugger off later that day.

GAH not dumped, just a bit sporadic for now! I was actually on G'eld tonight.

Lies!

Lies and Slander!

I'll be on around that time, its nice to see a meet up at a time that is GMT manageable!

6pm EST fyi for all those who have to look it up every time (like me)

I will try to make it. Sundays are now my only day off. I been working six days a week lately, 10-12hrs. Sorry I been missing so much, hopefully I will get some more time soon.

Zanthair, remember that a certain someone is expecting some presents for a baby shower (of BLOOD).
