Rollcall, 25 july

I can do it, but will have to cut it short, so we'd finish at 9pm, as I have to call my family back home about something important, and that's the best time for them.

I'm in

I should be good, as long as my late appointment doesn't run too late.

Make sure you check the private forum for the new IP address if you direct connect. My ISP changed it on me.

Let's here from Boomer, Tunari, and Tymesage, as I just got an invite to do something tomorrow evening, so I need to figure out if we're playing or ot.

Good idea.

Please do this Asap guys, I'll need to know by 5-6pm as I've been invited to something I don't want to go to, but will have to if we're not playing. I'm sure Venture needs to know early as well.

I may have a last minute snag. My sister's dog is in bad shape, barely hanging on, and I may need to help her take it to the vet to be put down, and then home to be burried. I'm going to call her after my next appointment, and then I'll report in.

Given the busy nature of this time of year, I suggest in future weeks that we set a deadline of 24 hours before game time for everyone to report in. If we don't have enough confirmed by that time, then we don't play that week. This will allow everyone to plan their week better. Once we get the number of players back to a good level, we can change that (since no big deal if 1 or 2 don't show at the last minute), but since we have a bare minimum now I think it is a good idea. It is kind of a pain right now always having Tuesday up in the air, especially since I've been blowing other stuff off. Thoughts?

Good idea, 24 hours or Sunday night, which would you prefer?

Tunari · Post by **Tunari** » Tue Jul 25, 2006 2:51 pm

Sorry guys, just been busy at work finally, which is good. I can make it later sure.

I can post Sunday or Monday that I will make it, but it's not a 9-5 job I have. If customers call or come in to talk business, I have to take the business when it presents itself. So I could be slow Monday and half the day Tuesday and than have customers show up in the afternoon and not make it.

Again, later when more players again, won't be an issue since the rest can still play.

Anyway, I can make it later. But if anyone has other things to do, no big deal. Summers just a tough time of year because of everything going on.

Why don't we compromise and say noon Eastern time on Monday? Understood that Tunari might have to make a last minute change based on what's going on at work (those darn pesky jobs).

My sister still hasn't called back, so unfortunately I'm still up in the air. We only have 3 at best anyway, right? Up to you guys whether or not you want to play it by ear or cancel.

No problem here. I just worked from home today, so I am already here. Just gonna jump on the couch for a bit and will keep an eye here later.

Tonight is going to be a short game also, I think I read that? Didn't I...

Bedeo · Post by **Bedeo** » Tue Jul 25, 2006 4:59 pm

I can make it still. It would mean we have three if Venture can make it...but if you're up in the air, V we could simply give it a miss tonight. No pressure either way.

And yes, tonight would be a short game, to finish at 9pm Tunari.

Since it sounds like V is tied up (or at least doesn't know what's happening), and I'm feeling like crap (caught a cold from GF) let's reschedule for next week.

Lets go with what V said and have wether we can play or not in by the time he suggested next week.

So far so good. I'm running all the virus updates etc on the server now, and will put it up at 7:15 Eastern unless I get a call from my sister. Remember to check the private forum for the new direct connect address.

Looks like you both posted at the same time. One to cancel and one to go forward. lol

I can certainly lay on my couch for a few more hours and be ok. Good thing I can work from home if need be. Whopper of a hangover today.
Barbqed at the complex pol last night with my neighbor, and women kept coming out all night! Went through all the beer we had, so we started on bacardi and cokes, than shots....too old for that. lol

So I'm fine to crash on my couch, or play. I'll look back in a bit and see what you guys decided.

I'll put the server up just in case, but it looks like a no go. If you other guys have something to do, go do it. On the chance that you all show up, we'll play.
