Well, given the times, I don't think I'll be able to play. My evenings aren't really that open. Pity, I was hoping I could finally get into one of these games. Ah, well, least I can watch I suppose.
I was SO going to roll up an Eclipse caste. Though I'm not sure how useful one would be...heck, sail skills if nothing else, I suppose.

An Eclipse Caste would have been awesome. Let Smilie handle making friends, you could've come off as the "Sword of Damocles" over any negotiations.
So, we're going to be dealing with more screwed up schedules here, until I get this situation with my boss worked out(and she is so seemingly thickheaded that this may take some time. If it happens again I swear I'll put in my 2-week notice and get another job)
Thursday is CANCELLED.
Friday will start ONE AND A HALF HOURS LATE, at 7:30 MST.
I've got all the time in the world until the very end of March.
At the very end of March, I am both moving and acquiring for myself employment. The employment should not conlfict with this game, as the employment should end at 8 PM EST (I hope...), which would be 6 PM Mountain Time. I will be living about ten or fiften minutes from work at that time, so, one hopes, things will be peachy keen, like jelly beans.
If not... well, then I'll be sure to let the group know. But we've still got a couple of weeks before we really have to worry about that.
Hey guys. I've got a (minor) family emergency tonight, my sister needsme at her place. I'm no sure exactly when I'll get home, so I migt be late for the session. I don't know how late I'll be, so it's bst to assume I won't be abl to make it.

I fell asleep at my desk. Now my back is killing me and I'm going to go lie down on something.
No way anything is going to happen today.
Sorry about that.

Defrag, if you're interested in joining up, I'm accepting new people until our crew heads out of Windgate(which will probably be two-three weeks at least) Just come up with a character concept and sheet and send it to me, and we can talk, okay?
Hello there boys and girls, Fiaryn here from Spain. Currently fighting off the dinobot menace here with my conquistador comrades. How goes? Has Gemini immolated the boat with his air compression fetish? Is everyone dead?
And will Defrag appear for more than a single session unlike every other IRC game he's been involved with in recent memory? :P
He's also going to be sleeping for the next two days straight probably. But soon! Yes, soon he shall return to assuming the persona of Dezrik! So very soon.

Sweet-ass! Bug me via IM sometime tomorrow so we can get things hashed out. I have an EPIC re-entry for you in mind.
The next session is going to be really damn awesome, I'm hoping.
Gemini, you'll get some showtime. The Darkness isn't looking to kill all of you, after all.
He's also going to be sleeping for the next two days straight probably. But soon! Yes, soon he shall return to assuming the persona of Dezrik! So very soon.
Rainfall's been making weird talk about the essence required to summon up eight zombies and two war-zombie-hook-headed-things.
I assume we'll find you inside, strapped to an infernal altar and bleeding like an emo after his girlfriend dumped him.
Just to save everyone time and to make a little note here, I'm going to post the XP costs/training times for everything(for Solars)
Trait Cost Training
Attribute ratingx4, (rating) weeks
Caste/Favored Ability (ratingx2)-1, immediate
Out-of-Caste Ability ratingx2 (rating) weeks
Essence ratingx8 Immediate to 3, above is (rating) months
Virtue ratingx3 Immediate
Willpower ratingx2 Immediate
Favored/Caste Charm 8 XP (Min. Ability) Days
Out-of-Caste Charm 10 XP (Min. Ability+Min. Essence) days
Spell (Favored/Caste) 8 XP (spell circle) weeks
Spell (out of caste) 10 XP (spell circle) weeks
Specialty 3 XP Three weeks
So if you guys set a destination while travelling, I can give you the travel time and you can calculate your XP spending based on this handy chart. Awesome, huh?
As another note, The Constellation isn't fully stocked up on food. You'll have to make some intermediate stops if you plan to head straight up to Skullstone.
For the record, I totally didn't send in actions to whack any supernatural bombs with weapons and wipe the party.
Now I just need to find four months of free time.
Oh yeah, spellbooks too.
We should probably stick around windgate a little longer. I have a feeling we're only half done with the current arc - we still need to establish contact with the guild.
Well, Krata is completely unable to make it to the world tonight, so game is canceled. Tomorrow's game is still on.
I'd also like to extend a notice to everyone currently involved in the game, especially Krata.
It's cool if you can't make it a few times here and there. I understand that real life causes problems.
However, if you continually find yourself being able to not make it without warning, I would really like it if you leave the party until your situation stabilizes. To put it bluntly, I dislike leaving people out in the cold because they can't make it, but I also end up putting another four or five people out in the cold if I pander to you.
Of course if at any time you can come back with a more stable situation then feel free to join in.
I'm mostly saying this because of the Scion game that recently choked because people weren't showing up without warning/were showing up late. I don't want to have a complete failure here.
Also, I want to keep things moving so I'd like to hold to two sessions a week, and if some people can't make it then it can mess things up.
Which is why I have to withdraw from this game. I'm sorry. I honestly didn't think I'd have to. But life's changed a lot since I first agreed to join up... and a lot of things have come up. Not all of them directly interfere with the timeslot, but they all directly interfere with my mental state.
My excessive stupidity during sessions lately is an example of this. I apologize.
So I'm going to withdraw. I'm sorry, everyone. I was having fun, but... I shouldn't be playing if I can't be here and be fully for the game when we're scheduled.
I really am sorry. If things calm down, if my mental state returns to normal, I'll happily rejoin if there's a slot left for me... but I wouldn't be particularly offended if there wasn't. I've been shitty to this game, same as Scion, and I can't excuse that.

Most often with a bandana shielding the majority of his locks, one stray bang refusing to be tamed dangles to the left of his face from below the trapping. A slanted pair of dark, entirely opaque goggles obscures his gaze for the majority, with an often sly smile or smirk dancing below - depending entirely on the situation at hand. Relatively unblemished due to youth, the sun has given a minor hue to his skin as with most of Coral's residents, though not overly so. With no visible scarring, it would be easy to conclude he has not seen a great deal of committed combat.
If unhidden, as is most often the case, a pair of moderately ornate bracers also guard his forearms with long fingerless gloves snaking below. A large, heavy holster of some fashion lays across his back, reminiscent of a back scabbard if not betrayed by the firewand grip protruding from its upper end. Another, smaller holster rests on his left hip containing a firewand pistol that appears as some form of bastard between flintlock and revolver fashions. The remainder of his clothing is moderately ordinary, with the bandolier strap supporting the back holster holding a variety of objects and ammunition.

I'm sorry guys. Thanks.
I'm sorry that you've got to leave, but I do understand. Shit happens to everyone, and it's happening to you right now. There'll be a slot open if we're not done(or almost done) when you're ready to come back, and you're welcome in any future games of mine.
I'm back from the hospital! Probably no game tonight but I want to have a bit of a chat about the directions the game is going to go in, if you guys are going to be there.
This is mostly because I was hashing out a lot of the plot of this while I was lying around in bed with naught but my Compasses of Terrestrial Directions and some novels to keep me company. Daytime TV suucks!
So basically I want to make sure that you guys are going to be cool with the direction that I'm planning on heading in and I want to give some advice on blowing some XP points(this is for all of you)
Also, a sincere apology for vanishing for a week. Shit finally caught up to me and it wasn't pleasant.

Sorry guys.
Hey, man. Real life comes first. No worries.
I hope so. We could certainly use more Daiklaves.
Heya guys, I'm back home now. I'm really, REALLY sorry for missing another session. God, this rate keeps up, I'll never catch up. *chuckles*
I'll try very very hard not to miss the next one.
Sure are.
Gametimes are Thursday and Friday at 8:00 EST.
Roll whatever character you want to play, as long as it's awesome, and send Rainfall a PM, and post your sheet in this forum.

Too much leveling in WoW on a PvP server.
Perhaps a Vaderish "Join me and we could rule creation together" moment.

I'm real sorry, Rainy. *L* The dice hated me all night, but I got my revenge.
Albeit in such a way that I think we almost accidentally gave you a heart attack.
Do apologize to your cardiologist for me?
