The Hardest RPT to organize ever Round 8.5: July 31st @ 12PM EST

[Reiloth]

Hey guys,

So you fuckers know who you are. We're all busy people with schedules and in different timezones.

So -- If you know from the previous confangled post what the hell SEEKRIT THING i'm talking about, here's the date.

Saturday, July 31st @ Noon EST, 9AM PST

Yes, that seems astounding. If you cannot make it, please PM me, and we will try to arrange a new time if too many people start crying.

[Vanth]

Not July 30th?

[eska]

There's not much of a difference for me if the time is the same and the day is a weekday. Still can't make it.. I'll be at work.

[Little_Cacophony]

Now everyone who reads forum knows why we can never get the rpt going. Not only we get the hours wrong all the time, we get the month wrong, too.

JULY.

If AM doesn't work. What do people say to 6pm EST?

[eska]

If it's the same day, sounds a better time for me.

[Reiloth]

Can only do from 9PM EST onwards.

[eska]

Can only do from 9PM EST onwards.

I can't promise to stay awake that late.

[Little_Cacophony]

How about Sat? Or Sunday?

9pm EST is no good for me too.

[eska]

Saturday might work for me. I think I can sleep all the day and play until sunday morning. But sunday that time means monday for me.

[Reiloth]

Saturday or Sunday that weekend work for me. What time would we shoot for?

[Spice Spice Baby]

I can make just about any time on Saturday.

[Sinna]

I'll make it.  Where do we meet?

Wait, crap, I wasn't invited!   

[Little_Cacophony]

Sat is the best then.

I can do PM EST, but the earlier the better, or if it doesn't work, the later the better.

[Reiloth]

The earlier the better for me too.

[Malifaxis]

I'll be there, sounds great.

[Reiloth]

Sat is the best then.

I can do PM EST, but the earlier the better, or if it doesn't work, the later the better.

Noon PM EST?

[Aruven]

Sat is the best then.

I can do PM EST, but the earlier the better, or if it doesn't work, the later the better.

Noon PM EST?

EST is 3 hours ahead of my own time zone. I'll bust my ass to be there, and as of now, I SHOULD be able to make it. Fuck. Why can't everyone live in the same place?

[Reiteration]

Crazy, you people are still at it? How you people met in the first place is beyond my comprehension.

[Little_Cacophony]

Noon should be workable for me too.

Also, Reiteration, I'd call it a feat of titanic miracle and effort combined with serependity.

[eska]

I'm confused. What's it in GMT?

[Xeran Van Houten]

Time Zones - Fucking up schedualing and logistics since 1675!

[Lizzie]

In summary:

If you were to log in between now and mid-August, there is a distinct possibility that your character will bear witness, be involved, or hear at least third-hand about this mythical RPT.

[Aruven]

Sat is the best then.

I can do PM EST, but the earlier the better, or if it doesn't work, the later the better.

Noon PM EST?

I retract my previous statement, I will not be attending this!

[Little_Cacophony]

If we are all gonna die in this Aruven, then you better be there too!

Noon est should be 5pm gmt

[eska]

5 pm gmt saturday.. that works for me..

[Vanth]

I was planning on taking the game down for a couple of hours then, guys.  Sorry.

[eska]

I was planning on taking the game down for a couple of hours then, guys.  Sorry.

You kidding right?

[Malifaxis]

I was planning on taking the game down for a couple of hours then, guys.  Sorry.

Vanth does not kid.

[Reiloth]

I was planning on taking the game down for a couple of hours then, guys.  Sorry.

no wait really?

[AmandaGreathouse]

I was planning on taking the game down for a couple of hours then, guys.  Sorry.

no wait really?

Yes. Vanth and I will be having pancakes and elf fingers on the top of Tek's Tower that night. Sorry, pick again.

[FantasyWriter]

But Vanth......   You PROMISED I could come next time.

I hate you, Amanda, and I know where you live.

The short, bearded man call the scary, clown-headed man and tells him to get his freezer ready for another Twilight fan delivery.

[Vanth]

When was the last time the game was ever planned to be down for several hours?

[FantasyWriter]

The last time you had a tea party and I wasn't invited. 

[Reiloth]

When was the last time the game was ever planned to be down for several hours?

Like 2005? Saturdays? *shudders at the memory*

So if everyone's alright with it, we're going to go ahead with:

Saturday, July 31st, 12PM EST, 9AM PST

That is entirely too civilized.

[Kankfly]

This RPT is never going to happen. Never. *jinxes everything* >>

[Little_Cacophony]

*swats a kankfly*

Was someone talking? I thought I heard a voice...

Anyway, sounds good to me too.

Omg omg omg it's finally happening.

With our luck, the game will crash, or internet will fall apart all over the world... or something...

[Reiloth]

I'm not holding my breath.

[InsertCleverNameHere]

Yep, ah.. That's no good for me. Daytime weekend is always hard for me to make, I'm much better with afternoon/nights.

Please don't hate me too much?

[Reiloth]

Yep, ah.. That's no good for me. Daytime weekend is always hard for me to make, I'm much better with afternoon/nights.

Please don't hate me too much?

Gonna have to go with the majority on this one. We can plan another from there.

[Dan]

I so would crash this if I could find out what it is.

[Little_Cacophony]

I so would crash this if I could find out what it is.

There is a reason it is a sekrit conference, you know! If only schedule isn't taking us years to organize, you won't even hear of it here.

Sadly, I think we will have to stage a third one to accommodate ICNH.

[Seraphim]

If you try to accomodate everyone, you'll still be planning this next year, and people will start to die before they ever make it into the RPT. Take the 5 or so absolute key players you can't do without and their times? If the rest can't make it, bad luck.

[Spice Spice Baby]

Even just an hour or two later and I'd be able to make this, but don't reschedule on account of me.

[Reiloth]

Even just an hour or two later and I'd be able to make this, but don't reschedule on account of me.

Team? Is a couple hours later alright for you or no?

[eska]

Sorry. I already planned my day. It's the only time working for me now.

[InsertCleverNameHere]

Team? Is a couple hours later alright for you or no?

Not me, sadly. The night before I'm doing a sleep study, so I will be spending much time with wires all over my face/head/stuff, and then after that I'm going to be playing catch-up from having 12+ hours of my life interrupted to be wired and monitored. Ugh. 

[Reiloth]

Okay cool. Guess we're sticking with this then.

[Little_Cacophony]

I am fine, maybe spice baby can join us later. I mean, realistically speaking, how many rpt you've been to that finishes within a hour or two?

[Lizzie]

I wouldn't be able to sleep with all that stuff wired on me. Kind of makes a sleep study pointless.

[Reiloth]

Touche.

[Aruven]

I will be able to make this. Unless, ONE thing happens in real life. But there is only a 50 / 50 chance of that.

[Calypso]

For one who has lacked the equipment to access the internet for a number of months..  what is this?  No I don't want spoilers, but a general what it is, where, who ought to be there? Saturday is a really hard day for me to get free... esp on short notice.  But I'm interested...

Sorry, it's an invitation only kind of sekrit meeting. You need to be one of the SKT.

[Calypso]

Ah!  Well then, I wish all the Eskayti people a wonderful time.

Yeah I'm not sure how I'm going to do it either, especially considering my average bedtime falls closer to 1-3 am not 9pm.....

[Reiloth]

Hopefully, this is a go. Tomorrow is a hectic day for me but I am going to wake up early for your asses. Flake at your own risk.

[Spice Spice Baby]

As I posted earlier, I will try to show up for the tail end but I can't promise it.

[Little_Cacophony]

Edit:

I am awake, and looking...

[Dar]

You might as well cancel this. I killed most characters that were meant to participate in this RPT.

[eska]

Yea. Was a good one. Let's start organizing the next one.

[Dakota]

Yea. Was a good one. Let's start organizing the next one.

Yeah was fun.

[Little_Cacophony]

Yea. Was a good one. Let's start organizing the next one.

Yeah?

Whoever gets the request solved first gets to organize the next one.

[Reiloth]

heh heh heh.

[Little_Cacophony]

heh heh heh.

I'm pretty sure that it won't be me organizing it.

[Reiloth]

heh heh heh.

I'm pretty sure that it won't be me organizing it.

I guess i'll do it then, bitch.

[Little_Cacophony]

heh heh heh.

I'm pretty sure that it won't be me organizing it.

You are just jealous of my imm, sucker.

[eska]

What request? Were we supposed to send requests?

[Reiloth]

Damn! I knew I forgot something after that PRT thingy.. 

[Qzzrbl]

This is one of the longest not-crazy-public RPT threads I've ever seen....

I'm impressed.

You'd be more impressed if you got to actually attend!
