Noon Midwestern Standard Time on Saturdays. How's that sound?

And sorry about the lack of a forums game. I'm in finals right now. Expect one up tomorrow. :.(...

Finals are more important. We can all wait.

Should be ok. THough I cant seem to figgure out what the GMT adjustment for that is.

noon central (This is still the only time I have ever heard it refered to as midwest time) is 1pm east coast

Ah thank you kindly, bit 'late' in the day for me (I work 11pm-7am) but still gives me time to catch a nap before hand at least. Good thing I've got good alarm clock

So tomorrow at Noon?

I should be good for it myself.

Oh crap, my mom just dropped a bombshell today. She literally woke me up to tell me this.

She's taking me shopping for clothes.

I am not kidding.

Ah well, no game I guess on account of a failed dodge to avoid a Mother attack.

Seriously man. What kinda runner are you eh?

Not a very good runner I guess. First failed the initiatiative, then the dodge, then the con (fast talk). Must be a slow gun sammie.

Does that mean shopping today or tomorrow?

Our internet was out for several hours this morning. If stuff is working tomorrow and I can get a break from cleaning the basement (lost power and our basement got 2 inches of water) I'll be there. Assuming your shopping today instead of tomorrow.

So we a go for tomorrow? (saturday)

Yup. clegrady, could you make a channel on irc.gamesurge.net? #shadowrun's kinda occupied.

Cool, looking forward to finally actually playing an orc.

Actually now that I think of it, anything other than a human in SR. I've seriously never played anything but humans in SR

um...Heya emo...i finally got my account finalized...so here's my forum persona...still working on getting Nic up and running spending BP, with the holidays and work been kinda busy...might not make this next session, but let me know when the next one gets ready...

Oh...and hello everyone else...fresh fish here...but old school SR fan (started playing during 1st edition, about 15 years ago...)

Okay, nobody showed up for this week's game, and I'm going on vacation next week, so the next game is January 6th at noon Midwestern American time.

Do we have a mage? If so what does he do mostly (combat, buffer, summoner, general practitioner?).

Is the lack of response a no or is everyone on vacation? Either way I'll try to roll up a mage.

Vacation. And we haven't been playing long enough to know what his niche is. We had one combat-free session so far.

Okay, the next game is this Saturday at noon, Midwestern American time. Could everybody email me their character sheets? I'll save them to Open Office this time, I promise. My address is shinobimaster@gmail.com

Actually, the game's at 1:00 tomorrow. Stuff came up. :.(....

Actually, scratch that.

well in either case stuff came up for me too so wont be able to make it regardless.

Maybe next weekend

nobody's on the irc channel.... everybody knows it's #shadowrun@irc.gamesurge.net, right?

Hey, instead go posting on "Boy's Night Out"!

You got it.

You are today's hero, at least for me

Just for the record, the game's this Saturday at noon Midwestern American Time, and it's on IRC. Internet Relay Chat. If you're using Windows, download mIRC. If you're using anything else, download XCHat.

The channel is #shadowrun@irc.gamesurge.net.

Is this something that a new character could just walk into?

Yes.

Grrr, nobody came this Saturday.

If 2 or more people don't come this Saturday, I'm ending this game. No hard feelings, despite the "Grrr."

Remember, the games are on at Saturdays, noon Midwestern Standard Time, on the IRC channel #shadowrun@irc.gamesurge.net. If you don't know how to IRC, then, AIM me. My name is NinjaPhilosopher.

And could I get everyone's AIM names?

I dont use AIM

kindolarmand

It's in my profile.

Kesslan: if you use trillian that would work, but you would still need to register with AIM.

I hate trillian with a passion. Or well not hate. I just dont like it. I've used it twice. Mostly because at one point I had friends scattered between AIM, MSN and eh blarg.. cant remember the third one.

These days I'm an M$ bitch.

I'm just hesitant about putting aol products on my computer.

I want to join this IM game of emo's...how do I go about doing so?

Just send in a character sheet and show up on Saturday.

And I'm also using MSN. My MSN address, unsurprisingly, is emosamurai@hotmail.com.

And if you're hesitant about AOL products, just install Gaim. It's an open-source multi-protocol IM client that works with EVERYTHING. And it allows file transfers, and it loads up REALLY fast. I recommend it heartily.

Also, roll call for everyone who's gaming on Saturday, or wants to game on Saturday.

My email address is shinobimaster@gmail.com. Don't use my press-ganged hotmail address; I didn't want it, and I don't plan on using it for anything but spam catching.

Emo, I tried to IM you via AIM, but it says you are offline...

How about you IM me, my AIM sn is scottvash

I also have Yahoo: trigger_runner

Announcement: It is now okay to make a mage no matter how many people in the group are mages. I realize now that part of the reason that many of you were drawn here was because I also tend towards mages. This is fine for me, because we can just have a rotating roster of NPC's that sub in for the other niches. And since I'll be running a prodigious amount of sidequesting for everybody, making it so everybody goes on the same metaplanar quests makes it easier for me.

On the other hand, if you make a street sam and I get to GM solo assassinations and the like, that's more variety.

So either way is really good for me.

I am definitly going to make an attempt to come this saturday.

YES!!!

I think there'll be at least 4 people, if not more. I think this will turn out great.

I changed the chargen rules, or rather, I added one that I though was there.

You get 7500 per bp, not 5000. That makes samurai and hackers more powerful in the beginning.

Ahahaha, I want to join lol, I agree that forum role-playing takes too long, I hope you guys still talk on the this page so you'll see this. I live in Eastern Time, so I'd be playing at 1PM?

EDIT: Bet you can't guess my AIM name. I'm working until 3PM Saturday though, if it's allright, I'll come in late with a good excuse... I'll even bring a note from my doctor

Welcome to the game.

Still in the same chan right? Few folk here but I dont think it's anyone from the group.

We are all on right now...well emo is eating lunch..but yeah the rest of us are on...

Get me on AIM or YIM and I can try and help if you can't get us...
