I am organising a session which will take place every Saturday. The time is possibly 20:30GMT or 21:00GMT.
This is for active DOW members or by invite.
Details to follow.
The other sessions will continue as well.
-
21:00 is ok for me as long as the game has a time limit and we start promptly at 21:00.

This is one of the reasons that the Saturday session will be "tailored". So many people turn up unprepared, even though posts have been made, pm's sent and even chat on TS in advance. To make matters worse, they do the same again and again. We will have the following:
Assembly on our TS channel at least 10 minutes before session start.
Proper use of TS. No hot mic.
Mods ready to go. List will be in the post. The list will be the same each week.
Game start time of 21:00 (thats when we will launch)
2.5 hour session.
HITS
Courier for in game communication.
These sessions will be small in player numbers.
Invites will be sent out so check pm's.
Other sessions will continue during the week as usual.

Sounds like a plan brah!

Is 21:00 the optimal time for the majority? A 20:00 or 20:30 start would be better for me personally but I understand if there are some who need to begin later.
10mins beforehand for getting ready is quite short. For PvP games I have found that longer is needed for team planning. If you are doing co-op vs AI then 10 mins should be plenty.

Hi Mr Digby
I understand what you say. We will fine tune this. It is an attempt to prevent the many waisted hours in the lobby. There is no real excuse if a set of mods is published with the rest of the session details in advance.
We have people from different time zones so organisation is a must to avoid frustration and waisted time.

The holiday period has disrupted the Saturday play. Christmas eve and New years eve.
I will try this Saturday.
Things will return to normal every Saturday in the new year.
We will also play sessions during the week.

Hi Nativemann
The holidays are getting in the way of our normal play. You should keep an eye on this forum for session announcements. There is also a bit of setup you need to do in advance. I have sent you a pm.
Regards

You will have to meet up to check the setup first. We have learned that this is the only way to preserve immersion and fun with minimal disruption.
pm me Nativemann to arrange.

Hi Morsey.
Unsure at this point as I have real life commitment. It might be 21:00GMt or perhaps later.
Sorry. I will update as soon as I can.
Regards

Not sure how I missed this thread...
If you have room for me a regular Saturday SoW game would be good for me as well. Now that the holidays are all but over my time is once again my own so Saturdays are usually pretty open but if we could have a firm start time so I can block off that time time to the Sargent's Major that would be good.

Asid Sorry but I wont be able to make it.
It will interfere with New Year's eve activities.
I will try for another time.
Happy New Year to you all!!
-
Understood Morsey. Plenty of play in the new year. Keep an eye on this forum.
Happy new year :)
-
Sooo... anything today? Or is everyone partying?
-
I am in middle of prepping food etc for tomorrow. I can play in couple hours.
-
Well, Saturday the 31st was a bust for me as far as playing online ???
I worked the night before until 0400 and slept most of the morning--spent the rest of the day being lazy and fighting off a head cold.
I'm looking forward to the new year and getting back to a "normal" schedule--whatever that is!
Happy New Year all.

Business as usual.
