As is my bi-annual tradition, I'm taking a long weekend for Election Day. I don't really have any plans, besides voting on Tuesday and watching election returns get reported overnight, into Wednesday, so if anyone is interested in grouping up, I can make myself available in the afternoon/evening hours (in the eastern US timezone) on November 1st-3rd.

Eastern time is UTC-5, so if I get online around 1:00pm or 2:00pm locally, that's 6:00pm-7:00pm UTC.

Hell yes. If I wasn't looking for other people to play with, I wouldn't have posted the invitation. :D

I would recommend reinstalling ahead of time, because all of the new mechs and maps have caused the download size to inflate quite dramatically over what it was in the early days of the beta.

Dork that I am, I've been thinking of this weekend in terms of the U.S. election that will be occurring on Tuesday, and it had largely slipped my mind that Halloween is on Friday. Either way, PGI is offering some additional incentive to play this weekend, just in case my raw charisma hasn't convinced you. ;)

I'm going to grab some lunch and will log on shortly.

Well, four hours down, time for a break. I may be on again in the late night, but I'm off for now.

I'm hopping back on.

Just a reminder that PGI is giving out free crap loot this weekend. I got 300,000 bonus C-Bills from my games yesterday, along with some other miscellaneous items. Just sayin'....

Finished up for now. I'm probably not jumping back on in the late night hours tonight, because I have to be up early tomorrow. I may not be able to get online until later in the afternoon tomorrow, if my morning business bleeds over past noon, but I'll post when I hop into the game, as I have throughout the weekend.

I've been slammed this weekend with other activities, and next week I GM at a local convention. Try to get more active in to games after that.

No worries, Chim. I think we're all at an age around here, where we understand life can get in the way of gaming. ;)

Trying to be true to my word, though, I'll be hopping on again for a few hours, starting in just a moment. Anyone around is welcome to join.

Well, I'm calling it early tonight. I got (and replied to) a properly infuriating e-mail, so I need something a little more calm than MWO for a little while. I'll post again, if I decide to hop on later tonight.
