Yeah, so, uh, I can't play this week...

... Or the week after.

Yeah, I know, it's pretty bad for the group's founder to neg out like this, but I went from 'unemployed' to 'working 10 days over the next 11 days' in the space of literally the 3 hours it took for the guy to schedule an interview, have the interview, then subsequently hire me on the spot. This happened on Monday so ♥♥♥♥'s been sorta hectic.

It's just a temp position though so as much as it's a pain in the ass, it's not worth rescheduling the game time for. I still encourage people to play; GameArena, surprisingly, STILL runs UT2k4 servers. They seem to run on nonstandard maps so there'll be a wait before each game while everyone downloads the maps, which is a pain, but they're fast servers (being local and dedicated and all) so it'd probably be worth it. Certainly less ping than what we'd be getting with me hosting a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ server from my comp, while playing no less.

Even if I was to reschedule, I don't get home 'till 8pm (9 if you include rushing to the kitchen to stuff my face) and I don't want to exclude the couple of people who have to wake up for classes/work very early and thus wouldn't really be able to play for more than about an hour at that time, if even that.

Anyway, personal ranting aside, Thursday after next I'll be right back into it. Hell, maybe that'll even give us time to get a few more members, and for a few more existing members to actually get/find the game.

Oh, while I'm on the subject; INVITE PEOPLE. Nineteen is badass of the week for being the first person other than me to get someone to join. Seriously, even just ask Aussie friends if they're interested. I'd say "as long as they're not asshats," but we already have Autobromatic so it's a bit late for that standard.

Man, today's game was, without a doubt, the most fun I've ever had in my life, bar none. There were so many people, I didn't even know most of them. We filled up ALL of GameArena's servers. There must've been about a hundred of us.

Geeze. So good. Such a shame you weren't there, seriously. You missed out on a lot of fun. Next week I guess.

Well, I've had no complaints about any times. To avoid weekends and be further along in the week, I'm currently setting the game time at 6:00pm onwards, Thursdays. Again, if anyone has any complaints, I'll shift it back a day or two.

Just to make it clear; this isn't some required stupid Guild meeting or anything like that, you're not gunna get a 50 DKP minus for not being online. It's just a reccomended time, if you're going to jump online and check if anyone's playing UT, Thursday 6pm is the time to do it. I'll be doing my best to be running a server myself every week at that time, and hopefully people will just join and make a few rounds out of it.

Well, I figure a good place to start would be allocating a specific day and time for a sort of 'suggested play time'. 6pm onwards is a good time, but since we've got so few members at this stage we may as well try to find a time nobody has anything else booked in on regularly.

So if you have any preferred days, or days you simply can't do, drop me a message or just leave a comment in the group regarding it and we'll see if we can find a time that suits everyone. When a time's decided I'll throw it into events.
