If you have interest in bringing back the game days and making them a regular thing, please say what days work for you. I'm going to try my best to organize this and maybe add something more to it.

When is it supposed to be scheduled?

Highlander · « **Reply #2 on:** January 09, 2014, 01:51:29 AM »

I would prefer it to be one day of a weekend, or perhaps a weekend itself ?

Flashy · « **Reply #3 on:** January 09, 2014, 04:04:03 PM »

It would be kind of bad if its on a weekday

CK9 · « **Reply #4 on:** January 09, 2014, 05:44:55 PM »

Well, A weekend does make the most sense :p

I was hoping to get a feel for what months/days tend to be easier to work into people's schedules rather than saying "okay, let's have it this day" and end up having a full "can't do it"

What do you people think about Saturdays

CK9 · « **Reply #6 on:** January 10, 2014, 06:06:46 PM »

Saturdays definitely seem the most friendly.

BTW, I just now noticed my error with the caps lock...not sure how I managed that

Sounds interesting, but NetFix must be fixed, first. (currently I have the impression that the game server is not working)

CK9 - Any day can turn out badly in terms of people coming or not. And lets face it, it's hard to know your schedule a long way upfront.

However, I would chose dates so that they avoid certain situations during the year, like exam periods, school/university starting, major holidays (Exception here might be Christmas which in my part of the world involves going home to family to relax).
Other than this.. it's just a matter of trying. We used to have events for both summer and Christmas a few years back.. both turned out ok.

Exam days are hard enough to predict since there are some campuses on quarters and others on trimesters...

Okay, I'll look at a calendar for a while and come up with some date ranges for people to give a general idea. While most of a schedule is up in the air until much closer to the date in question, there are things that people know very far in advance.

Also considering that timezones aren't really helpful either. I mean, who even invented those?

Give Day, I shall play.

Flashy · « **Reply #12 on:** January 15, 2014, 06:47:08 AM »

I can definitely try to be there as long as possible

CK9 · « **Reply #13 on:** January 16, 2014, 09:59:30 AM »

Okay, here's what I'm thinking:

Spring: second Saturday of May
Summer: second Saturday of July
Fall: second Saturday of September
Winter: second Saturday of February

Why always the second Saturday? Unless I am horribly mistaken, no holidays fall within the three days that the second Saturday centers. Also, if anyone here is still in school (I think I was one of the youngest members of the community and I've already finished a Masters program. Then again, I've been wrong about the community age range before.) it *should* avoid conflicts with exams.

Why these months? Again, unless I am horribly mistaken (Which I very well could be) there aren't any holidays to conflict with the days.

Flashy · « **Reply #14 on:** February 02, 2014, 06:45:58 PM »

Second Saturday of February? That's next Saturday, right?

Spikerocks101 · « **Reply #15 on:** February 02, 2014, 08:00:22 PM »

Seems it is... I'm busy that day thou :/

CK9 · « **Reply #16 on:** February 03, 2014, 09:48:52 AM »

'tis always the case when I select a day that someone who is interested is busy, heh

Highlander · « **Reply #17 on:** February 06, 2014, 01:23:38 AM »

Can't please everyone CK9

Flashy · « **Reply #18 on:** February 06, 2014, 07:41:57 AM »

I'll try being there. But with my luck, I will probably miss everyone. Or alternatively, my computer will spontaneously combust. Either one.

CK9 · « **Reply #19 on:** February 06, 2014, 09:46:22 AM »

I'll try to hop on IRC tonight and tomorrow to let people who don't use the forum know...I still think it's strange that people wouldn't want to use it.

Highlander · « **Reply #20 on:** February 08, 2014, 07:55:47 AM »

Is there still a crowd on IRC ? Who is there ?

CK9 · « **Reply #21 on:** February 08, 2014, 03:12:27 PM »

Just so people know, I did not forget about this. I just found out this morning that I have been "volunteered" to help move a bunch of furniture around. I will try to make it on later.

Flashy · « **Reply #22 on:** February 08, 2014, 04:25:20 PM »

Well I'm on and checking every so often for someone new.

I'm thinking, I'm so out of training that it's going to be interesting.

Edit: Well, not anymore.

CK9 · « **Reply #23 on:** February 08, 2014, 11:27:43 PM »

Well guys, I'm sorry that I wasn't able to attend and I screwed up on the organization part. I'm hoping the next one will go smoother since there is more time beforehand.

Flashy · « **Reply #24 on:** February 11, 2014, 06:42:05 AM »

Oh well, maybe next time.
