PBEM 78 Organizing Thread

So I'm not sure when I'm going back to China. It could be in a month it could be christmas. It depends on the government, visas, and airlines. I guess the best thing to do would be to put me in the morning or the evening Eastern US... make it evening in the US and it will be morning in China when I go back. So lets say evening 6-11pm EST

It is, which is why I'll be lurking.  popcorn

Have fun!

How rigid is this timeslot?  There is a bit of a pileup in the EDT evening as you'd expect and I am trying to sort out the best way to order the players.  Since Lewwyn could be in China in the future he would be available later in the day in that case.  So are you ever available before 7 PM, or is that rigid?

I may be available earlier some days, probably by about an hour, whereas some days I will have to work late. 7 PM is the most reliable time I'll generally be home and able to play by, not an absolute.

Okay, does working late mean your window gets moved later, or do you just have a smaller window on those days?

I'm not sure I grasp the distinction. If I'm in the office late then I won't home to play the turn, while the time I'm shutting down my PC and heading to bed will remain static; therefore the window in which I am able to play will move back by X hours, and also necessarily be smaller.


I won't know in advance which days I will need to work late, or how late, as those factors are determined by circumstances beyond my control.

Not sure what your tracking is, but we used a small PHP script to track the current turnplayer for PBEMs in the past: https://www.realmsbeyond.net/forums/show...p?tid=4632

If you're interested, Ruff may have the latest version of the .php file (originally made by Mist), or if not I can try to dig it up from my archives.

We actually have the php files for this on RB itself. If PBEM is the consensus and you give me time to get it set up for you, I can get that up and running for this game.

Also I unlocked Serdoa's original account for him, so you don't have to worry about an imposter assuming his name. I mean, it isn't like we have ever had issues with sockpuppet accounts on RB before.....

Brick, you the man.  I take back at least 2 or 3 of the bad things I've said about you in my threads in the past.  Which means, there's only 8-9 thousand or so remaining. Kappa
I've got some dirt on my shoulder, can you brush it off for me?
