Sadly :-[ It's time that we should plan this so that nothing interferes with it's happening. I'm thinking it would be appropriate very close to his planned departure date of 6/20.
How does the weekend of June 12th sound? Perhaps we start gaming at around 9am...and game throughout the day and spend the night and continue gaming the next morning and break around 5pm Sunday? That would potentially be 20 hours of hot gaming action!
Does that work for you guys? It would be be VERY nice if we could all align our schedules such that we can spend this extra time with our good friend (who has promised to plan some gaming visits). Chris...we WILL miss you! :'(
-
I think I can make the date work. I usually get off work by 230am Friday nights, so If I sleep as soon as I get home, the 9am is doable. And Sunday's are a good day for me to do stuff.

Yeah, I might be able to make it. Pencil me in.

You glorious basterd. You better make it.
Put him down in pen, Charles.

The ink is drying as I type this.
Penalty for missing this event is emasculation!! :o
-
Are you using that invisible ink made from your urine again? Eww... :P
-
Unfortunately, I don't believe I'll be able to make it to the June gaming event that you have planned due to some things that are completely out of our hands - Beth's mom is not doing well. I hope you all have fun. I really wish we had more time to get together. Hopefully we can all do something sometime during the upcoming week.
-
Well, of course, do what you have to do... Charles will still be enforcing the penalty for missing the event, but you've been married so long, I doubt you'll really even notice. ;)
-
Bahahahahaahahahahah!! That was awesome Chris. ;D
-
What's going on with this? Are we all going to Charles' house June the 12th and/or 13th.
-
Oh yes...I am expecting you all to be here...! If Dragon can make it, GREAT, if not...we'll have to proceed without him. This is, perhaps, the last chance have to game with Chris before Atlanta!!
-
Saturday should be okay, but I'll be over around 2pm, not 9am.
My d&d group is trying to get together on Sunday. Right now my laptop is unable to go wireless for some reason. I'm trying to work something out. I'll let you know.

Ok...so this event is coming up THIS WEEKEND!!! :o Thank you Mac for letting us know your timing. Who else is coming and what times can you make it?
-
I'm willing to show up as early as you want. Saturday morning early... or even Friday evening depending on whether or not you wanted to actually spend time with your family this weekend. ::)
-
Hey guys, sounds like you're going to have a great weekend full of gaming! I wish I could be there, although that is highly doubtful at this point.
On a related note for Chris, the timing for everything going on currently will probably keep us from you in Atlanta any time soon. We'll have to talk more about DragonCon.

i will be there saterday but i wont get there till 12 or so work droped a surprize meeting on us saterday morning

My Sunday is a mess. I want to play a game I play every Sunday, it's from 11a to 1pm. I don't have it set up on my laptop, so it's a desktop leash.
My son got married last weekend, he only gave his mom and I four days notice, we weren't able to make it out there for his reception party. (notary signed his papers)
Now we find out that he's having a pool party Saturday. My wife has to work and I'll be in Clearwater. I'm hoping he understands.
He is coming to stay with us the 14 thru the 16th. He leaves for Army boot camp on the 16th.
Needless to say, a very busy couple of days this weekend.
I'm down with gaming on both Saturday and Sunday, looks like I may be able to get out to your place a little earlier on Saturday, whereas it'll be around 2pm on Sunday instead.
-
Okay, here's my plan.
I can be out at Charles' place on Saturday around 10am. I'll stay until about 9pm or so.
Sunday I'll come back out around 2pm until 7pm. I'd like to leave at 7pm for sure.
Hopefully we'll get plenty of games in during that time. Or just a big game or two.
Either way, that's what I can do this weekend.

That sounds like a good run to me.
Anyone interested if I bring one of the Rifftrax (http://dragonhobbies.com/forum/index.php?topic=4309.0) movies in case we need a break from the gaming? I have The Matrix, Cloverfield, & Jurrasic Park (just the audio, someone else would have to have that movie).
Sound good?
Oh, and Chris, any word if your friends will be showing up for this? More = merrier.
-
no it was to late for them to request off i did get out of going to that meeting so i should be there earlier
-
No interest in movies for me...it's all about the gaming!
Let's make the official start time on Saturday morning 10am.

Game day was fun!
We played SmallWorld, Dominion, Wyatt Earp, Decent, Betrayal, Ticket to Ride Switzerland, Dungeon Lords, Pirateer, Liar's Dice and I even got a game of St. Petersburg without having to play Carcasonne! It was a fairly good couple of days. I won my fair share and partnered in a victory with The Unnameable in one game.
I did find myself snapping at TylerChuit a couple times and actually cut the day short by about an hour because of the conflicts we were having. Typically, my friend Patrick and I get snappy over different rule interpretations, but it wasn't that. TylerChuit likes to "remind" you about the rules in a rude, insulting fashion which I found very offensive more than once. He didn't use these exact words, but the attitude that I felt coming was 'You stupid idiot...we've played this before...how can you not know all the rules?' I believe some of what he said was in jest "Cheater" but the constant barrage of insults put a damper on the whole experience.
I don't mind being reminded of the rules, and I don't think they need to be explained each time, but I would appreciate a more gentle reminder. "Hey...you aren't using the Ghouls...were you aware that you can still attack with them" is a lot better and gets the same point across without looking like an a$$hole.
All in all, I will miss TylerChuit as he moves to GA, and I look forward to gaming with him in the future, but I'm a little glad that it won't happen for at least a few months.
-
My apologies. I'm pinning this one on the stress of the move, which has been making me anxious and moody for the past few months.
I was hoping the event would take my mind off stuff, but I just kept thinking of how much I lad left to do, and how little time I have to do it.
Thank you Charles for hosting the weekend, and I hope your family enjoyed the rest of the enchiladas. Sorry I was such an asshole with money stuffed in it.
