Sodomy, robust, and ryang, I am good pretty much whenever with the exception of 4 am - 2 pm central. It will be difficult to work around Sodomy being half a day ahead of the other three of us, though.

Could we perhaps create a skype group for everyone?

It's way easier to organize times in a chat than on the forums.

My skype is Irregular programming if people think it's a good idea.

Well, that aligns with the vibes I was getting. Which was, like, "normal" kinda vibes.
Just posting my schedule for the railway barons that are going to trounce me. I work weekdays and I get off at 5pm Eastern. I have a few obligations outside of work so I can be pretty flexible. I have a blacksmithing class this weekend during the day, and if my friends are free I spend Sunday afternoons playing tabletop games. Contact me through PMs or through Steam to further co-ordinate.

I can make a Skype account if that's the best way. My last account has a misspelling in the name and I'm too ashamed to use it again.

I think you need 6 rounds otherwise you could throw the first 3 rounds to get an easy 4th round. the 5th round should be 3rd 4th 5th and 6th and then the top 2 from that 5th round go onto the finals with the top 2 from the 4th round upper bracket. this way it incentivises you to do well so you have to play one less game. but that's just my opinion.

That's a pretty good idea! Throwing the first rounds is risky since you're out if you're in the bottom 4, but the sixth round makes it more secure. I'm good with doing that :)

Regarding availability, bowmore, Factor Mystic and Fredrik1, I'm usually available from about now (10am UTC to 1pm UTC) or on the weekends. Let's pick a date for this poo poo.

I think that's the middle of the night for me, unfortunately. I'm available pretty much all of today until 11pm-ish (BST) and most of tomorrow and the day after, but only in the evening on the weekend.

e: wait, no it's not the middle of the night, it's the middle of the day. I am a silly. 8.30 or 8 til 12 will be fine.

Alright, let's try this. I propose a game for my group on Friday, May 15, at 6 PM (-6:00 US Central).

I'm available now and any evening EST, but I'm guessing we're waiting on bowmore. Also I'm signed into steam all the time so we can figure out scheduling in real time if need be.

I too can take Monday or Tuesday off. I'll be free tonight but I don't know what time it'll be for Paul. It sounded like early morning stuff for us was best for him, but I usually work at 8:30. It'd be great to knock it out early on the weekend, but I can't do that this weekend. So if we can't do it tonight and the only times people are free on Sat/Sun are between 9 and 3 EST, we can do it some other time.

I'd prefer to take Tuesday off, since The Witcher III comes out that day and I'd get the most bang for my vacation sick day buck.

I had the wrong dates for my blacksmithing class, so I'm suddenly free all weekend. Let's pick a time, maybe Sunday morning (8-9ish AM EST?). It looked like that translated into Paul's timezone as being in the middle of the day. I wanna play some train game!

Yeah, basically waiting for bowmore, I'm more or less free whenever next week any time after that will be more difficult though.

I'm working Sunday sorry, though I should be available after 7pm, 7.30 at the latest - mid-afternoon for America, I guess. Also, as a heads up, the last day I'll be available is the 24th, as I'm on holiday to Paris after that.

Works for me. I think that would be 12p for Random Stranger and 1p for Optimus and me. I'll be hanging out on Steam around then.

I get off work at 5p my time, which I believe is 11p Paul time. If that's not too late, I'll be on and looking at Steam around that time. I've got some chores to take care of, so I might be in and out until we get everyone settled.
