I am starting to get pretty confident to setup a test run battle to get our feet wet again.
The great guys over at The Shack have offered me their server to run our sessions on. These will be available 24/7 so it prevents me from having to setup a seperate server.

For our campaign I still need to work out what would work best regarding management.

Perhaps we can start making a planning for this intro session?
We need at least one person willing to play OpFor and that means controlling more than one unit.

July 15th I can make late evening work for me (GMT + 1) which will accomodate for you Yankees.
Otherwise I can work with July 19 - 21st?

See, that's the time of day I'm just about guaranteed to be asleep.  By your clock, I hit the sack around 5-7 p.m., and wake up between 1 and 3 a.m. -- pretty much your entire evening.  In short, it's pretty much the worst possible time of day for me to try and be awake. 

This is why I'm doubtful about my ability to participate.  :-\

Are you sure?
EST is 6 hours behind my local time. More to the West makes you more behind. So the later my evening, the more it is into your afternoon, or am I being backward somehow?
Do you work nightshifts and sleep during the day perhaps?

Yep.

Sigh.  If my availability wasn't even more notoriously unreliable than usual lately -- I work nights, and the last month or so I've been going to bed between 10:00 & noon and sleeping til anywhere between 5:00 & 8:00 -- I'd love to participate.  :(  It's been ages since I've played.  As it is, though, I'll have to content myself with watching from the sidelines.

Oof.. I should learn to read and then remember what I've read.
Sorry for questioning your sanity, Martok. ;) Although you must admit, working night shifts someone should question your sanity once in a while, right?

No worries Ysk.  *I* question my sanity on a near-constant basis.  :P

You're not the only one ;)


I'm in CST which is GMT-7.  During the week or on the weekend are fine, but, all is subject to the whims of my girlfriend.  She keeps unusual hours and that leaves me with committing to this endeavor, but possibly having to back out on short notice.  If you are all willing to work around that rather nebulous schedule, I'm in :)

Some other stuff has come up.
I will need additional time fleshing out the story and the campaign. I won't keep you guys waiting, it might take a while, so I'll report back once things have been fleshed out more, a plan is solid and we can quickly kick off. Thanks for showing interest so far!

Thanks Yskonyn. Keep us I posted. I'm still interested when you're ready.

Sorry for questioning your sanity, Martok.

dont apologize, we do it all question it all the time.
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.
