Absence/Availability Announcements

[Hot Mustard]

Once upon a time RP had a thread for members to let the team know of planned vacations, absences and periods of reduced availability. I thought it a good enough idea to repeat, so here it is.

[DeepO]

:b: especially for turnplayers and the like. This might need to get topped, although we can't have 20 topped threads either ;)

Provide as much information as desired.

I'll start this off:

Feb 11-17 - vacation (New York, no connectivity)
Mar 24-26 - away on business (Calgary, connectivity, no cIV)
Apr 27-28 - away on business (Vancouver, connectivity, no cIV)
Jun 4-17 - vacation (Italy & Austria, no connectivity)

[Arrian]

Good idea :b:

March 3 - March 23 - vacation (New Zealand - no connectivity)

[NicodaMax]

I think this is the right place to post this, in case anyone is wondering...
I'm back, reading a lot to catch up but a little lost. Can't do so much analisis without actually seeing the game (like playing chess without a board). I'm gonna do some playing with our civ to get a feel for it so I can contribute something anytime soon.
Other than that, I'll bee around except on feb 24-26, when I'm gonna be forced to watch how they baptize my little girl :shame:

[Solomwi]

February 24-26: Mardi Gras in Mobile (extreme drunkenness and no connectivity anyway).
March 6-10: Law Week at school (constant activities, and I'm one of the main planners, so I may be able to pop in but not often)
April 25-May 11: Finals distributed somewhere in this range, so it may get squeezed down once I have a more certain schedule.

[asleepathewheel]

Now until Feb 16: limited availablility due to 2 jury trials I've got going. Sigh. aatw=exhausted.

[Metaliturtle]

I'm gonna be randomly in and out, my strategy skill is limited, but I love to write the occasional press-report explaining that the nuke was an 'accident' as was our occupation of the enemy capital 2 turns before tir ship was built. :D

[Harovan]

New PvP servers launching today in Everquest 2. I feel the strong urge to go do some ganking. And being ganked, that goes without saying.

See ya in a few months. I may stop by when the servers are down, tho.

Maybe one topped thread that acts as a link for any threads of import. Just like the one for strategy threads?

[Metaliturtle]

I'll be gone until the 26th or 27th of February, I'm going to the Twin Cities!!! To visit seminary school! I like exclaimation points!!! GS is awesome! I live in Wisconsin!

[DeepO]

I'm sorry to have disappeared for a while... extremely busy atm. I hope I can peek in here soon again, but for the moment I just can't spare the time. In a few weeks, work should be slowing down, or at least that's what I hope.

see you all soon, and keep the Storm rolling!

I was thinking a Forum Guide thread would be a good idea once we have enough to keep track of.

[Arrian]

Keora from New Zealand! Heh. I've got 2 minutes (emails to friends & family back home had priority, sorry!). Doesn't look like the game has started yet. Unsurprising. I hope we've picked over that start spot some more, though!

New Zealand ROCKS. End of story. One week to go...

Friendly reminder. Someone will need to step up to play a turn if we get the save Thurs/Fri.

[notyoueither]

And we likely will. 'nana have the save now.

NicodaMax hassn't been around though, and he was the one other than you to speak up.

Worry not though, I'm sure we'll get it done.

[Solomwi]

Naturally, the game had to kick off right as my finals did :lol:. Anyway, I'm back from that ordeal and ready to help out. Now I just need to find that gmail address Krill set up. The save is still going to that one, right?

[Hot Mustard]

Just found out I'm travelling end of next week, May 19/20.

Reminder bump. I'm on vacation in one week. We need a two-week replacement.

[Hot Mustard]

Sorry for the short notice...

In Vancouver: July 23rd - August 3rd - will have a laptop with CIV on it, so I'll be able to play, but my schedule will be ordinary work day, as opposed to my customary 'whenever-I-feel-like-it' schedule, so I'll likely only check in a couple of times in the evening.

In Nelson: August 4th - August 7th - will still have the laptop, but this is a weekend trip with the wife and other couples, so I doubt I'll be checking in much - best if we line up an alternative player.

[notyoueither]

OKee dokey. I can fill in the gaps.

[notyoueither]

Does anyone else want to give it a spin?

[Mudhut]

Just a quick note to say I'm on leave for two weeks, from 5 August to 19 August [Australian dates, no idea what that works out to be in the Northern hemisphere :) ]

I trust you'll have Vox conquered by the time I return...!?!

[Hot Mustard]

I expect to away for the Sat/Sun of the upcoming long weeked.

And I will take this opportunity to point out that I've had my name changed from "dejon" to "Hot Mustard". :)

[Ennet]

Moving to a new appartment today so will only have access to internet from the university for a while.. so wont be on a lot.

[Arrian]

I'm away this weekend as well.

[DeepO]

and my internet connection was out for over a week... luckily we didn't win the game in the mean time ;)

[Hot Mustard]

I'm out of town from the 15th (Wed) to the 19th (Sun).

[Hot Mustard]

I'm moving the first weekend in Dec - so from the 1st to the 4th I'll be disconnected or highly unavailable.

I'm out of town from Dec 11th (Mon) to the 13th (Wed).

Possibly out of town again in late Jan - I'll post the dates when I get them.

[Metaliturtle]

Ditto for me I'm moving too!

Reminder.

[Krill]

PS I can't pla yteh turn until wednes evening GMT becasue I don't have my computer either.

[Hot Mustard]

Off I go again - out of town from Monday afternoon (the 8th) to Saturday (the 13th) next week. Since it is more than a couple of days, I may put Civ on my work laptop so that I can check things out, but I can't be relied on to play the turn.

Reminder. What brave soul can look upon the save and capture Grog's final resting place?

[Arrian]

I can take care of it.

[Hot Mustard]

Out of town from today until Wednesday evening.
