Just an FYI for Japper007 and oledavy, I need toplayg my afternoon turn a few hours later than normal (3 or 4 hours later or ~8 - 9 pm CST, 3 - 4 am CET). Hopefully it doesn't cause any issues with either of you.

My thing this afternoon didn't take nearly as long as expected. Played and passed.

Just a heads up, I am about to head out of town to go somewhere that I can see the eclipse in its totality. I'll be back around 01:00 GMT tomorrow, so we'll miss two turns but I'll be able to do a turn tomorrow evening in its usual slot.
See you all tomorrow night!

@oledavy, must have been awesome.
Woden, tonight I will be back home around 9pm, save to get to you shortly after that.
On Friday I am going to watch Cirque du Soleil and will reach home later. I am telecommuting that day, so if the save reaches me by 6.30pm, I could play before heading out.
Then, going a little forward, I am going to travel to Brisbane and QLD from 14th to 24th September, but will have my laptop with me. As Brisbane is 2 hours ahead of Singapore, I should be able to play my usual rotation (as turns should reach me around 7am and 9pm each day). The only disruption would be the days I fly to and from Brisbane.
Apologies for those minor disruptions. I am too used to the 2 turns a day play which is really nice to have sufficient time to plan, but fast enough not to loose track of my own planning and thoughts.

Thank you for the heads up Japper007 and Singaboy! This is probably as good a time as any to discuss my availability with the school year about to start. Unfortunately, with my soon to be limited availability, I will likely be responsible for dropping our turn rate on Tuesdays and Thursdays from two to one turns per day.
My morning play window has been 14:00-16:00 GMT, but will be switching to 12:30 - 14:00 GMT on Tuesdays and Thursdays due to how my schedule worked out this year.
@Japper007, I don't know how rigid your schedule is, but is there any way you can play earlier on Tuesdays and Thursdays? I know you occasionally get to the turn before 14:00, but I don't want to pigeonhole you into it if there is no way you can do it consistently. In any event, if there is no way to bridge the divide, we just drop from 14 turns a week to 12 turns a week. I will still be able to play my morning turn on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday during my lunch break.
Finally, from the morning of Sunday, September 3rd until about noon on Thursday, September 7th, I will be out of town. If anyone needs to take an hard look at their strategy going forward, like Alhambram did during my last vacation, the first week of September will probably be the time

I'm fine with dropping some turns out of the schedule, if everyone else is okay with it. My universty starts again in a few weeks, so i'll have to reavaluate my turn times soon anyways (I mostly play in my early afternoon and very late nights now, not something I can keep up on a university schedule).
As a more direct answer to your question Oledavy: I can't guarantee I'll be able to play earlier every Tuesday and Thursday, but I'll try...
Shall we just say everyone tries to get to turns as soon as they can get to them and leave it at that?
