I can do it on the 24th, Friday, so long as we start no later than 6:30. So I put in as a yes.

Posted: **Sat Mar 18, 2017 12:00 pm**

Yay LC! Yay S~V~S! We're off to eat Chinese food!

Posted: **Tue Mar 21, 2017 8:34 am**

This is going to be so much fun! Come on and sign up you guys!

Posted: **Tue Mar 21, 2017 2:29 pm**

I'll go ahead and say IN if it helps get this thing off the ground.

It'll be tight for me time-wise, but I can probably swing it. I've only played in one turbo game before online and I was absolutely terrible.

Those times work for me. If it's five thrity I may be ten minutes late on my way home from work, but otherwise I'll be available.

Posted: **Tue Mar 21, 2017 6:05 pm**

Cool. I'm gonna get the role list put up on the first page (hopefully) today. It'll change up depending on the amount of sign ups, but I'm capping it at 13.

Posted: **Tue Mar 21, 2017 8:30 pm**

Roles have been added with the assumption of 13 players, but I'll probably just chop some vanillas out if we don't get there. I'm also gonna send a mass PM out later.

Posted: **Tue Mar 21, 2017 8:37 pm**

I want to eat your banner.

One day I'll find time for a burglary. This is not that time, though. Too much house moving madness.

Posted: **Tue Mar 21, 2017 8:38 pm**

I'm going to add more flavor with host posts rather than flavor the roles. That'll mean the roles don't make any sense to most people but that's part of the fun, I guess.

linki: All good, Golden. Just make sure you have Chinese food for dinner instead.

Posted: **Tue Mar 21, 2017 8:40 pm**

Good work on more flavour, Quin. Just don't use MSG.

:drums:

One more thing: It was mentioned in the Chatzy last week, but people were tossing around the idea of turning the Chatzy into the spectator chat for the duration of the game. We can either do that (which means that if you play, you won't be able to join the Chatzy until it's over or you're dead) or I can just make a separate room. I can see benefits to both, but let me know.

Posted: **Tue Mar 21, 2017 8:53 pm**

Either way is fine with me. Those of us who are playing won't have time to go to the chatzy until we are out of the game so you can use it as the spectator chat if you want.

How many more folks do we need?

MovingPictures07 wrote:How many more folks do we need?

2 would give us 9, in which case I can cut some vanillas and still have an even ratio, so that's a minimum.

Posted: **Thu Mar 23, 2017 12:49 am**

2:30 PST is too early for me, but you guys have fun! I had some dumplings this week and thought about this game.

Posted: **Thu Mar 23, 2017 8:15 am**

Looks like Friday is good for me.

Posted: **Thu Mar 23, 2017 8:41 am**

I am almost positive I won't be able to participate, as I have offered to proctor a test for a graduate student Friday after work.

Posted: **Thu Mar 23, 2017 9:06 am**

Where the hell is Rico? I sure hope we have enough people to play, I'm getting worried.

If we cant play Quin you'll have to make this into a Side Mission and put it in the queue.

You'll probably end up waiting over a year for it in that case. I'd sooner just delay it another week but if we can just get 2 more sign-ups this is ready to go.

With the other burglary games it all came together at the last possible minute. Hopefully though this will come together sooner.

I'm stopping on the way home for Chinese food tomorrow. I will has a sad if I am sitting here eating Chinese Food alone

Posted: **Thu Mar 23, 2017 6:34 pm**

2:30 am (AEST), Quin? Seriously, the things I do for you, Buddy

Posted: **Thu Mar 23, 2017 6:36 pm**

Yay!!!

Posted: **Thu Mar 23, 2017 7:00 pm**

Barring no unexpected interuptions, I'll make an effort to play

Posted: **Thu Mar 23, 2017 7:01 pm**

Also Yay!!!

Posted: **Thu Mar 23, 2017 7:24 pm**

Yay sprityo and Glorf!!!

Quin, you might want to try and line up Rico as an alternate in case someone can't play at the last minute.

Posted: **Thu Mar 23, 2017 7:26 pm**

Also, Quin can you take more people like if sloonei wants to play?

Posted: **Thu Mar 23, 2017 7:26 pm**

Glorfindel wrote:2:30 am (AEST), Quin? Seriously, the things I do for you, Buddy

noo! It's 7:30am for us.

It's 2:30pm for the marmot. Or 2:30 am, I'm not completely sure.

You still in?

Posted: **Thu Mar 23, 2017 7:27 pm**

juliets wrote:Also, Quin can you take more people like if sloonei wants to play?

Yeah, 9 is the bare minimum for a 2 baddie game with balance. I'll take as many sign ups as I can get.

Posted: **Thu Mar 23, 2017 7:32 pm**

To stop any confusion, I've compared the time zones for every time zone I know people participating might be in, so:

AEST: 7:30am
EST: 5:30pm
PST: 2:30pm

Posted: **Thu Mar 23, 2017 7:37 pm**

I was on a bad team once where I was in US Mountain, we had someone in Australia, some one in either the UK or the Netherlands, I can't recall, and one east coast USA, and we were never all online at the same time. Max, two of us at once. Time zones iz confusing.

Posted: **Thu Mar 23, 2017 7:39 pm**

Sounds terrible. Good news here is that nobody should have that problem during a burglary.

Are you certain? I converted the starting time on one of those silly time converting apps?

7:30 will be good for me

Setting my alarm now...

I hope so

I'm just using googles default time converter.

Posted: **Thu Mar 23, 2017 8:20 pm**

Now looking at a time conversion website, I'm being told my conversions are 1 hours off. It might be because of DST and google just hasn't updated it, or maybe it's the other way around. I can easily bump it an hour if I need to, but can people in EST timezones tell me if I need to change things?

Posted: **Thu Mar 23, 2017 8:36 pm**

Quin I think we in the U.S. are all ok with 5:30 EDT - thats eastern daylight time because we are already on daylight savings time.

Posted: **Thu Mar 23, 2017 8:38 pm**

When I use the time zone converter I get that 5:30 EDT is 7:30 am Brisbane time. Not sure where you are but I thought it was close to Brisbane.

Posted: **Thu Mar 23, 2017 8:42 pm**

Here's the conversion that's coming up for me. I'll be up early tomorrow anyway so we can figure out exactly what time we need to start later.

Ok, you are not on Brisbane time then. They are UTC +10 and you are UTC +11. Anyway, 4:30 pm EDT is too early to start the game - people won't be home from work yet. As it is even starting at 5:30 EDT llama said he will be a little late.

Posted: **Thu Mar 23, 2017 8:53 pm**

No, I am. Sorry, I think I got my own time zone wrong.

Posted: **Thu Mar 23, 2017 11:11 pm**

Day & times don't work for me QUin, but this looks like a barrel of fun. I plan to read it when it's done.

Posted: **Thu Mar 23, 2017 11:14 pm**

There is a chance I can do this. The university requirements don't prohibit me from using electronic devices during testing. I read the guidelines thoroughly.

Hell, they don't even require me to be in the same room as the guy taking the test. I'm not sure what the point of me being there is, but okay.

No guarantees.

Fingers crossed, but I wouldn't want you to get in trouble

Posted: **Thu Mar 23, 2017 11:25 pm**

And I hope so SL, it's a shame you can't play. Hope you sign up to more some stuff soon though.

Posted: **Fri Mar 24, 2017 3:11 am**

I'm a little lost... Can anyone please tell me what time I need to be up for this?

Posted: **Fri Mar 24, 2017 3:18 am**

Glorfindel wrote:I'm a little lost... Can anyone please tell me what time I need to be up for this?

It's starting at 7:30 am.

For sure.

Posted: **Fri Mar 24, 2017 7:22 am**

Oh good Epi! Will be great if you can play!

Quin, I will be relentless with Rico if he shows up in chatzy before the game starts.

Posted: **Fri Mar 24, 2017 7:59 am**

Sorry, don't know why I signed up for this. I must have read my schedule wrong - I'm working tonight. Sorry Quin, and thanks JJJ for noticing!
