Turnchat day - you choose

MrWhereItsAt · September 5, 2002, 08:51

This weekend is killer for me, and although I intend to have one (attempt at) a chat per week and one set of turns by myself, I have to present this choice since it is impossible to have the chat at a "normal" time this weekend.

Thus, there are two options here.

1. Turnchat on Sunday 9am GMT (4am EST) and turnthread on Tuesday night as usual, or;

2. Turnthread Sunday morning, and a turnchat Tuesday 2100 or 2200 GMT (1600-1700 EST)

This is an unofficial poll, as turnchats are, I guess, under the purview of the person running them, but your feedback will help me make a decision. I am fine with either, but the whole purpose of turnchats is for everyone else, so I feel it is best to hear from you on this.

Two day poll, as turns will be played by the end of then regardless of the method.

Well the offensive toward tyre/sidon won't atrt until next one, so I'll vite for tuesday chat, though that time is a little bad for me, 22 GMT is best.

4:00 AM, 4 AM!!!

Don't you just love executives with oddball schedules?

MrWhereItsAt · September 5, 2002, 10:21

Hmph. Anyone with a schedule other than the President is the odd one by decree.

I would just like to point out that 4am EST = 9pm my time. Perfect for me.

UnOrthOdOx · September 5, 2002, 10:22

And it's...2 AM here. Well before bedtime...

hi ,

sunday morning , ....

have a nice day

I voted for Sat since Sats are better in general, but now realize that I won't be making either after looking at the time translations in EST, so

.

Doesn't matter, all the orders are posted anyway. Play away, MWIA!

I voted for option 2 but please add one to option one. I have changed my mind.

MrWhereItsAt · September 5, 2002, 21:36

Why all the votes for the time that suits no-one but me? I put up this poll thinking that it was a given that everyone would wnat the chat in the evening for the EST/GMT timezones. Guess I was wrong...Unless there are lots who haven't voted yet for option 2.

So, the ppl who voted for 1, will you actually plan on turning up then, or do you just think a chat is best done earlier?

Man this forum confuses me sometimes.

adaMada · September 6, 2002, 00:17

I voted for option one looking at the Sunday part and not the time

.

Having said that, I can't make the Tuesday anyway (probaby not, at least) so I wouldn't mind making your life easier... no skin off my back. OTOH, it might not help others, and there's a very small chance I might be able to make the Tuesday, so if the vote's close and it's gonna make an actual difference then you can subtract one from the "Saturday" and pretend I didn't vote.

Because we elected you and you have our faith to do a good job?

Damn! Nowhere near enough cynicism around here yet.

COME ON PEOPLE!!!

Pick Sunday!!!

Let me see a chat before I have to leave!!!

/me begins a chant: 4 AM, 4 AM, 4 AM

Will 5001 · September 6, 2002, 15:01

4am = 9am for me, great time, easy to get online, it's about time we got times which suited us! (none of this 2200GMT, then the chat lasting for hours so it ends up running until about 1, when I have to get up at 6:45 the next day!)

GodKing · September 6, 2002, 15:19

4am.... ahame you couldn't wait for 1-2 hours. Oh well. I don't much care either way.

I can make the first, just have to set the alarm and get up early. It is sunday so I can always take a nap.
The second I am at work and cannot do.

So I voted for the first.

MrWhereItsAt · September 6, 2002, 19:54

11 each!

You're not going to make this easy, are you? I'll have to make a final decision within a few hours.

Shiber · September 7, 2002, 19:25

IMHO you should do a turnthread then a turnchat because we'll only reach the critical stage of the war on Tuesday. Right now it's mostly moving troops according to prewritten orders.

Edit: nevermind, I see you've already made your mind.

MrWhereItsAt · September 8, 2002, 01:15

Yeah sorry Shiber, it's too late to change now.
