Can we agree on another day...Tues or Thurs? ???
-
i would rather it be tuesday but im ok with either one
-
Both days are bad for me. I don't mind skipping a session, so don't plan around me.
-
I have no preference at this point.
-
Tuesday works for me. Should I bring my Saw collection, or are we saving those for a special viewing?
-
Let's do a SAW II & III on Tuesday!
-
I hope you guys have fun. I'm going to have to skip the get together this week because my mom is in the hospital.
-
Ok...I'm still up for watch Saw II and Saw III.
if we could arrive by 6pm, we can RAPID FIRE both movies and be done by the 10pm news!! (my bedtime).
If you'd like, I have have pizza already here by that time.
I just need to know how many heads are coming!!
-
im not going to be able to make it to night
-
I'm still in. As close to 6 as I can.
And pizza sounds great. I'll make sure to bring cash. ;)
-
Sounds likes it's only Chris and me tonight. Chris please pick up dinner before you get here. Had pizza recently, need to cut back calories.
-
Well... I guess Wednesdays aren't going to work out for me anymore. Beth had joined the local weight watchers group which meets on Wednesdays.
On top of that, my daughter has symptoms of H1N1 (swine flu), so it's probably best for us to avoid contact for at least a week anyway.
-
Ok, well the next scheduled event was Saw 4 & 5, and since you aren't really into the series, I guess it works out. After that it gives us 2 weeks to figure out something else...
Also, it's pretty clear that Wednesdays are a bad night for the group in general. If anyone would care to suggest alternatives, I'd be happy to hear them. As always, my schedule is open.
-
Thursday works for me. Monday and Tuesdays are busy days at work, almost always involving overtime. I left yesterday at 7:45pm.
-
OK. I'll try to keep Thursday evenings open for gaming and movie events with you guys.
-
Unfortunately, the only day that works for me is Wednesdays. Tuesday and Thursday are our workout days and the rest of the week is screwed up with karate classes and girl scouts.
But, we we did discuss, after watching saw movies on Wednesday, was the possibility of coming to your house to game when we gamed. That way you could watch the kids AND game! Does that work?
Of course, you would miss the gaming events in Clearwater, but a skinny wife is worth it.
Thoughts?
-
My thoughts are quite torn on this.
-
if worst come to worst we could just alternate days do it wedsday one time then Thursday the next so no ones left out completely
-
That sounds fair enough to me. At this point I'm out until late November anyway. By then something else may have changed anyway. Hopefully I'll have some time to join you guys at least for a while on the big even coming up later this month.
-
No game tomorrow, right?
Due to Columbus day, my busy day got bumped to tomorrow.
I notice on the calendar that a big event is coming up, Sunday 10/25.
I usually play D&D on Sunday from noon to 6pm. We have been having attendance issues, I may be able to make the board game extravaganza.
I'll know more after this coming Sunday. If its a bust again, I'll plan on the game day.
-
No gaming this Wednesday as far as I know...
Next week, I believe is Saw VI..which we still need to decide what day we're going. I would prefer to do an opening night showing next Friday...but let's see what works for everyone who wants to go.
The 10/25 game day is on. My place in Clearwater 9-9?
-
Sounds good to me.
-
Ok. I'm not sure how much of it I will be able to attend yet. Depends on my homework load that week. This semester seems to be much heavier than previous ones. Although, that may be just because there has been more sickness to deal with causing everything to get backlogged.
Anyway, is the big game planned for the morning or later in the day?
-
Define "Big Game".
And...it's whenever you want it to be. I'm very flexible. There will be many games played. So bring it all with you. We'll decide on the fly what to play...except if you want to be present.
I WOULD like you to bring San Marco. We haven't played in forever and I really like that game. As Chris would rather jump naked into a huge pile of thumbtacks than play San Marco :o, we can break up into two groups for that game.
It the one event we will get done prior to 2010. I would hate for you to miss it, or even miss a portion of it. See if you can get most of your homework done during the week (put the PS3 and the PSP down) so it can free you up for more friendly gaming enjoyment!!
-
You know... the "big game" - the one game that we play that takes nearly half the day to play. I know we had talked about playing Arkham Horror, so I guess that's the one I'm referring to at the moment.
I have two midterms to do today and another one tomorrow, and my other homework is caught up, finally, so I'm definitely going to try to work ahead. Just as a fallback though, I was thinking that if the big game is in the morning, I would know that if I can't get to your place until the afternoon then I will still be able to get into a game.
-
Friday, 10/23 might be a bad day for me. I think we pick up the grandkids that day/weekend. I'll check and reply with more information. Sometimes we get them overnight, sometimes not. Usually on Saturdays though.
Mac
-
Ok..I'm with you.
So if you rather we "get the big game out of the way" we will start the day with that. Actually I like that because Chris and I could pre-set up the board the night before after we see Saw VI....
Chris...I know I'm all over the board with my planning right now...but it's JUST after 10/15 and my brain is still recovering...
-
You think leaving a board game out overnight is a good idea with your current pet situation?
-
Am I missing something?
If we go to the movie on opening night, Friday, and the 'big' game is on Sunday. Then how is setting up the game after the movie a good idea? Won't the game be sitting for a day and a half?
We are picking up the grandkids on Saturday and returning them the same day. I should be okay for both activities. I still need to wait and see how Sunday goes with my scheduled D&D game before I can say I'll be at the 'big' game for sure.
-
And therefore...we come to this post.
It seems that Saw VI and game day are intertwined like a Jigsaw puzzle.
Option 1 - See Saw on opening night (23rd) - I can ask Wendy to purchase our tickets for say...the 8pm show early in the day so we have our tickets. We could grab some dinner around 6ish, maybe play a game for an hour or so and then head to the movies.
Option 2 - See Saw on Saturday sometime.
I would rather option 1, as I do like opening night...the fans are out and it's just more fun...but I'm open for either.
Game day 9-9 ?
-
Since I won't be joining you guys to see Saw, I won't bother to weigh in on those options, but I will say that 9 - 9 sounds fine with me, assuming all goes well throughout the week and plans on your end go the same.
-
Awesome.
Game Day is 9-9 on Sunday! And we do need to wrap it at 9pm sharp. That is when I need to be in bed with Wendy to watch some TV and then hit the sack. That means that we're wrapped up and ready to go at 9pm. I'm sure that won't be an issue.
-
I regret to say that I'll miss the big game night.
My D&D group added a few members and we played last Sunday.
I'll stick with the plans to play my D&D game this coming Sunday, we need to get a couple of sessions in a row together.
I have plans to attend the 11/22 Bucs vs Saints football game, so I'll be missing a game session in a month. I prefer to build some stability with our group before that day comes.
So, that said, I hope you guys have a great game day and enjoy the various games.
Sincerely,
Mac
-
The whole day? Couldn't you squeeze in a few hours before you ditch us for your better friends? :(
-
Can someone call the unnameable one? (The other white meat) to see if he's going to make it?
-
ya ill be there for game day but not for saw VI
-
If I come early to the 'big game day', I'd have to leave after 2 1/2 hours.
If I came over later, I'd get there around 7:00p or so.
You guys would probably be in the middle of a game.
Seems silly to force everyone to quit/start a new game.
I did think of bringing my d&d stuff over, using your internet and playing there for six hours. However, that seems kind of rude, to play a game alone while you guys played something else.
I suppose I could do one of the above options if your okay with it, Charles.

-
Considering that the first game of the day might be longer than 2 1/2 hours, and the last game of the day will probably be wrapped up close to 8PM in order for Charles to get to bed when he plans, it does seem like you'd be coming or going at bad times.
-
If we start with Arkham Horror, that game is easily modifiable for players starting and leaving at odd times. In the regular flow of play it is entirely possible for characters to be devoured, requiring the player to start over in the middle of the game anyway.
AH would be an ideal game to begin with considering Mac might have to leave before it's done, and there was some question as to when Dragon was going to be showing up.
-
Cool. I had forgotten about that aspect of Arkham Horror before.
-
Hey guys, sorry things haven't gone as planned. On Friday I thought for sure I'd be able to get everything done on time before I went out to a picnic for Beth's work and over to visit my mom (I hadn't been able to see her for over 3 weeks) and my grandparents (I hadn't seen them since they came to Florida recently and they are heading back on Monday.) So we got home very late last night. I'm trying to wrap things up and I'll give you a call before I leave the house.
-
On my way.
