War chats?

[Beta]

Question. Guys, when the action starts, would we like to play our turn via chat, as is done with the demo game.

I would pass the save around to every one. We set a time for the chat. I will play the official game turns - with input from the team - and we all get to share in the immediate excitement. I will report to you in real time what the results of our various moves and attacks are.

It may mean our turn takes a bit longer - but we have tons of time. And it would be fun.

[argha]

it all depends upon the time factor, as in what time of day

[Eli]

Looks good, but as Argha said, it all depends on the time.

I think this is a great Idea. I would love to be share in the excitment. and If anyone misses, it's not that big on a deal because it won't be any differnet for them

I think we should at least try it to see how it goes. I was trying to think of a way for everyone to get input. Decisions made during those turns will be very important and the more input we can get the better we should do.

Time will be a problem. I am generally at work late. I can not do chats from work due to blocks in place on the gateway in and out of the company. I have not tried chatting from home.

When would people be available?

I am OK from 1800 to 2300 est. (2300 to 0400 gmt)

Eli will probably be the one most out of synch with the rest of us.

My schedule is just...well, weird. I check-in and post when I can find the time. So with that in mind, don't worry about me - when I check in and see a war chat going on, I'll just hop in.

I think it's a great idea and I'll try to be there whenever I can. Do we have a specific chatroom, if yes, can anyone give me details on how to get in?

I have mostly the same dispo hours as betahound...

P.S. I'm sorry if I'm just repeating things that were already discussed and please do not hesitate just to say RTFM (or if you are kind, post a link to the relevant discussion... )

I can't say I am a chat room specialist. Eli had made arrangements to have one set up. But that was waaaayy back at the start.

And don't worry about repeating stuff Kon. But a quick read through the threads mentioned above will provide a lot of info.

Found Eli's original mIRC thread and bumped it. We - or more specifically Eli - will need to register the new names - and delete some of the old ones.

Do you have time for this Eli? If not - can you pass the authority to Jon or me? Thanks.

I generally do not get home until what would be 2200 est. My peeking/posting during the day is usually done from work. On some days, if I know ahead of time, I can try to be available earlier by going/leaving work early and not going shopping afterwards. I might be available by 2000 est. On my days off and weekends I am usually flexible unless I am busy with a dog event, and then I may not be around at all.

[argha]

I'm available 9:00pm cst

[mjmacy]

I am with Argha. 9:00pm CST
but If I'm not around don't worry about me, probibly doing school work
