I may have disappeared without a trace, but to give a rundown of events... I let some of y'all know that I was going to Arizona, and once I came back I immediately had finals. I graduated with my BBA on the 12th, and was offered a contract job on the 11th. I was still working another project, and then once I started the new job it took a bit to settle in. I'm also getting ready to move, and I figure that once I have I'll have some more free time again. I have a little now, but not a ton.

So if y'all will have me back...

LOL WB, and congrats on the graduation & job!

OK!

I'm back and want to get the ball rolling again. I've popped in occasionally from time to time, and literally nobody has been on, and as I absolutely hate spiders I can't stand looking at mine for more than like 15 minutes without moving around or doing anything.

SO when are people on?

Yay Midnight!!

And Nizzre has been taking part in ranged weapon practice evenings pacific time. Or Mir'ply can be found studying malarites about the same time.

Maral is "on call" when needed, at least until IC issues are resolved. But I have several other chars I've been playing as well (4 out of 5 are drow). I was out of town last week, but I've been on every day since Friday. :wink:

Im in Oahu for the next few weeks so I can tend to be on when the worlds asleep but I am there. Shoot for 10p to midnight Hawaiian time. Est -6 I believe.

Not sure if it's an indication of anything significant, but the last couple of times I've logged in with my drow (who I've just rolled up and am feeling kind of tentative about), the sentry standing next to the main Edonil portal node has reported seeing not one single PC for the entire reset. And it was late in the reset cycle both times: well over three hours of RP prime time (mid-evenings and late evenings, US time) with no drow to be seen.

Jeez, where is everybody?

Yeah, it's pretty empty on the surface of things, but things are starting to roll again. Just hang in there. Drow players are like gophers, they keep their heads down except when things are happening, then they pop out of their holes. There are likely quite a few who don't log in if they don't already see anyone else on. Several players tend to draw other players because they are known to be interesting, even when just having tea...

I'm very guilty of that, to be honest. Zrae isn't my main character, so that's part of it, but I love logging time with her. The drow players and characters are awesome and playing a Lolthite is so... just different!

True.

<rant>
It might just be my impression, but during European times, the UD is very empty. Lemme check. Here's the list of PCs in the UD that I exchanged at least 1 word (or emote) with while playing during the last 2-3 weeks:

Vahg'Dirush [jbmontag005]
'Gorgamesh' [charlsprologue]
Sorenthea [Joyouslament]
Zii'ryna [serbiris]
Quil'lyn [Goblin] (S/he just ran by once in Lobsul, I think, while I actually met her/him on the surface.)
Zelaron Ky'Ranael [The1Kobra]
Ghost [Zerisu]

and
Mathan Wayne [?]
Audrey Zinata [?]

Most of them I met just once, though some of them I met again on the surface. (Go figure.) The list probably isn't 100% complete, but I try to put everyone on there that I interact with down under, but screw-ups happen. (On the surface, the threshhold is a bit higher.)

It's very depressing.</rant>
Ts, who lives in GMT+1 (+2 in summer, like now), and potentially plays between GMT times 11:00 and 24:00.

PS: Yes, I do keep files on you and your secret desires.

I got bored of wandering around on my own so... :p

Then I shall be on her more! At least to idle and attempt to lure the drow-fishies into the UD-waters :3

I feel stalked.

Yeah I haven't been able to get into my proper UD drow. And my new drow actually likes hanging about the surface, sorry!

Lure me too, please. I'll bite, I promise ... I mean, of course I won't bite when you play with me. Except ICly. But only in self-defense or when I really want to.

Ts

PS: I'm not stalking anyone! Btw, why didn't you log on at your usual time yesterday?
PPS: I kid, I kid. Doesn't everyone keep notes so not to get confused in a way that wouldn't happen to someone that actually lives on Amia instead of switching between a couple of people living there plus occassionally a real life?

OK PEOPLE LISTEN UP

I am in the process of planning out (a series of) events, some bigger than others, but all needing some help, and I need to know who is available around Edonil and wants to hang with the baddest (if bad = old fart) mofo around, Isendu't'tar.

More details to follow once I work some more stuff out with the DMs, but be aware, things are gonna be going down, and when it does you don't wanna be known as that person who only logged on when all the leg work was done to join up with the party, do ya?

In other words, very shortly will be a great time to get people interested in the UD to roll a new character, and I'll do my best to make them feel RIGHT at home.

I'm in.

I am, per usual :p, around at least once a day with As'drubal. Though due to my current location I am on very late/early morning for our american players. Once I am back in California it should be a bit better. Againshe promises she will be back, life has just been hectic for her of late. That said, I am always just a tell away, and I never turn down drow rp.

I'm in fer sho.

If there's drow-stuff going on, I'll be there as long as I can make the time(s)! I always look out for drows being on that I (and Zrae) know, because I know I have a larger chance of getting into RP lol
I took a couple months off of NWN and that seemed to happen during the lull in players (surface and UD alike) so that didn't help things!

Oh I always like to be in the middle of stuff :twisted:

On now, if anyone else wants get evil.

You know I always have a special place saved for you my dearest Tater. I might be in tonight, won't be tomorrow, might be this weekend. I've still got msn if anyone wants to work with me!

Awww, and right when I was planning my grand return.
Don't have any playable characters right now, although I've got one almost ready to make a debut within the week. Maybe.

Schedule...schedule. I really don't know. Weekends should usually be good for me. Sometimes weekdays too. Life's way too unstable to give way to certainty... but whenever I can be on, it should be between 4pm and 1am (GMT+0)

Another returning person! Huzzahs around!

Actually, I'll be afk for a couple of weeks.

I'm thinking about hosting a big festival of sorts in Edonil (pending matrons approval) if it happens what would be the best time/date for the drow players? I want to pull you all out of your funks!

10p-12a EST (GMT-4) any day is best for me. However, I'm usually on during the days Mon/Wed/Fri as well, though I can't guarantee it (ie depends on if my wife is working haha).

Well, for the Matron's meeting. Set time and I'll try to be there, now that the rl is a bit less insane for me.

Knew I forgot something >.>

Dunno what times suit other people, but a time after the coming Wednesday would suit me best if its going to be anything remotely late for me (in GMT). Before then, I cant really stay up later than midnightish as have several early morning things to tend to coming up till Wednesday!

Would weekday or weekend be best for people though? How would a time of 11pm GMT work?

How about the 7th at 11PM GMT?

That would work for me, at least. Perhaps a bit short notice for others though!

I can make it, I think. 4 am for me though, le ouch :p

Yeah... I am the one with the worst time zone so its going to be hard, granted 1pm my time is easy (GMT-10) but I work saturdays. Anytime after 5p my time or anytime sunday would work.

Hmm. Maybe earlier on the Saturday then would work out better? 7 or 8pm GMT?

For me that would not, I work days until about 5-6 pm. Really sunday would be best.

Oh. I read Sunday as Saturday somehow >.>

Perhaps a new player, drow Arduvylt, we'll see how things turn out in the end.

GMT+1.

Sunday is fine for me too.

I'm a loser and am free anytime on sunday bar 7pm GMT to 9pm GMT.

Earlier on Sunday, maybe? Like 5pm gmt? otherwise I'll be busy from 7pm to.. maybe 9 or 10 pm.

Anytime sunday for me, where are our other matrons?

I should be around most all weekend. Though I do have another "unscheduled" event going on sometime.

That time Sunday works fine for me!

Apparetnly England is GMT+1, if thats the case I can't come. Could we make it 5pm GMT+1? An hour earlier?

I can do that, if others are able. Flexible myself for a time on the weekends in general really.

The meeting is about to start NOW! Hurry up!

Sorry about leaving abruptly, my friends all charged in and they were making me feel like a total nerd. :p

*slept through the meeting like a bad monkey, awaits his whipping when he wakes up*

Work is starting again 07/10 so at that point I'll be available at these times:
I will only be available for 100% sure from either 9p-11p or 10p-12a (same night, obviously) EST/EDT (GMT-4 currently). I will potentially be available after 12p on Fridays, and sometimes on Sundays.

Granted Zrae isn't a mover and shaker of Edonil yet, but still
