So it shall be on the 10th of July, 2010? I can do that. It will be great! Are we going to even attempt to be on topic at all this time?

TheGreatElvenWarrior · 07-08-2010, 01:59 AM

Pfft! Who needs to be on-topic when you can kill some chat skwerlz?

What time will it be happening? Did we agree on a time?

What's a "topic"?

But seriously, have we ever had a topic in the first place?

Of course we've had topics in the past: Gandalf the Grey Uncloaking.

May I propose we all start to wander online sometime around 20.00/8.00 GMT (Hookbill & Eönwë time)? That's 11.00 Laurinquë time, 12.00 TGEW time, and 21.00 Pitchwife time. Is this all right with you? And if we want to read aloud, well, it's all open to suggestion.

Sounds good to me.

Sounds great! I like how we all have our own different time zones!

Loslote · 07-09-2010, 09:45 PM

Wait, would that be 10 in the morning my time, or noon? I'm confused. As it is, I don't know if I'll be awake at ten in the morning - I haven't really slept for two weeks...I'll try to wake up in time, though.

As long as you're still in Alaska with me it will be at 11.00 AM. TGEW is in Washington now so she is an hour ahead at 12.00. But you can come in whenever you like, I'm going to have to hurry if I want to be on too. I just thought it would be easier for our European friends if we didn't do it at midnight their time.

Any ideas for reading?

But... that's during the Germany vs. Uruguay game. Is that such a good idea?

About 2 hours later would probably be better if you want more people to join. Just saying.

Estelyn Telcontar · 07-10-2010, 05:52 AM

I will definitely not be online during the game tonight, and I'll have to wait and see what happens (= how long it takes and whether I'm still awake enough afterwards), so I'm not making any promises. I would also have to figure out how it all works, which could be a problem for this Skypie newbie at that time of day...

Gwathagor · 07-10-2010, 10:50 AM

I'm going to be backpacking this weekend, so won't be around for reading.

Wait. Are you telling me that I got up this morning for nothing?

You're making us wait for football. . . Two whole hours.

I just thought it best to warn you early so that you don't go online and find out that everyone's gone to watch football. At least now you know why people won't be online.

Huh. Well, as I'm not a football fan I guess I'll just have to sit around waiting for you to come online.

I got up at 9.55 for this! And that's very early by my summer standards you know. We could always postpone it to a later date I suppose.

I suppose that we could always wait two hours two. We've already waited one. Is another one going to kill us?
