It begins again. Or maybe doesn't.

It's suprising, even to myself, how little my nocturnal schedule bothers me. It has a lot of advantages. I'm always driving against traffic. I get to avoid annoying lawyers at work. I can ignore holidays and such that I don't care for by sleeping through them.

One of the areas, though, which continually is online role playing times. Either they start too early or or they continue too late or the whole damn thing takes place while I'm dead asleep.

I've mentioned earlier that I've been very excited over a new game called Nobilis which is going to be run on ifmud. Well the first session was today. I'd tell you what happened, except that I was asleep. What I do know is that the two session times chosen by the people who were there and not asleep were both times when I will be asleep.

Why did I send my available times in hours after the game was announced if they are not going to be heeded? Why did I send in my character hours later if the later majority was going to drive the time to when I cannot play?

Everyone involved with the project seems to be gone now, and nobody has posted the transcript of the session, so I have no idea what happened. Pah.

FriNYTX: 15. FriLATX: 9:15. SatNYTX: 44.

[Update: It looks as though the times will be changed. Apparently, the organizer misunderstood the times I sent him.

I understand your frustration about this one. On the other hand, it's worth bearing in mind that the organizer is trying to accomodate an unusually large number of people (15 or 16, last I heard) who are scattered capriciously over half the globe, with corresponding time zone issues. Getting an arrangement that is both workable and fair is quite difficult, and he is going to some trouble to be as flexible as he can. Nor was he ignoring you.

Just thought I'd point that out.
