All right, so I want to start this topic again.  It's been 8 months since I last brought it up, so we're due for another look.

No, the pandemic hasn't passed.  Pretty functionally, in the foreseeable future, it's flatly not GOING to pass.  In my opinion, we have a roughly 2-4-month window before we should expect another Corona surge as the South African and Brazil mutations spread to the US and overcome the ability of people to vaccinate (read: probably in July; I have zero faith that July 4th won't result in a massive surge).

For the sake of satisfaction in the group, I'd very much like to play the final two games on Tukayyid.  There is a very high chance that this will be the functional end of the campaign and end of the Cincy BattleTech group playing in-person games as a whole, and I'd really like to go out on a good stopping point.  Therefore, I'm asking if people are willing to take on two games in order to wrap everything up.

To be clear, I plan on moving ahead with the games if we end up with a total of 8 or more "yes" votes.  I am tired of having this hanging over my head, and I want a resolution to this as much as anyone here.  Waiting, "until the end of the pandemic" pretty clearly looks now like, "functionally never resume the game".  If you are unwilling to take the chance on two more group meetings, I do understand, and sympathize, but I feel that I need to make this push now, while we have the opportunity to make it work in the most relative safety we have had in a year, and the most relative safety we're likely to have for at least another year if not longer.

The poll will run until Friday. Please vote ASAP.

Rob, assuming we’re doing masks, add a +1 for Ryan as a yes.

Side note: I have started a new job working 3rd shift.  I posted this and went to work.  If you need to get ahold of me for some reason (as the texts on my phone indicate), I can be reached between ~1400 and 2000 hours.

[Darrian Wolffe]

All right, the ayes have it.

I'd like to have an availability check for the following dates:
May 15th
June 26th

I've been contacted by a couple of people who have pointed out that the last 2 weeks in May, and first week in June, are all just terrible for them.  So I'd like to run game on these dates.

The location of the game will be at my parent's house, on the north end of Sharonville (just off the junction of Fields-Ertl and Reed-Hartman, to allow everyone a rough estimate on driving distances).  They've given permission for us to use the space, and they have a dedicated and literal ballroom (about 15'x40', with a 15' ceiling) available for us to use, which means we'll have the ability to pretty reasonably distance.  A condition of using the space is that masks will be mandatory.

Even if you didn't vote "yes" in the poll, you're still welcome to come out and play.  If you don't want to join us for these last couple of missions, please contact me privately so I can ensure that your lance isn't slated to appear in the scenarios.

[Ad Hoc]

Those dates are ok for us.

[ItsTehPope]

Those dates are ok for us.

I'll be out of town on may 15th.  The June date is possible for me but I don't know until it gets closer to the actual date.

[Darrian Wolffe]

A quick reminder. The lances scheduled to take part in Scenario 2 (the May game) are as follows:
Midnight
Ice
Dancer
Freya

I do not have the lances for the final scenario, in part because it will be dependent upon who is left alive.  However, the following active lances will have not yet deployed during Tukayyid by the time Mission 3 rolls around:
Reaper
Bright
Crusher

[Black Omega]

Those dates are good for me.

[Hat]

Ryan and I are good for those dates.

[Ad Hoc]

Are these dates officially set? I need to get it on our calendar so are family doesn't schedule over them😁.

[serrate]

I'm out of town on May 15th, we all got vaccinated and are leaving town for the first time in over a year

[Darrian Wolffe]

OK, I am checking with my folks and will know by Sunday whether or not those dates can be locked in.  Both Dan and Bryan can't make the 15th, but in fairness their lances aren't involved anyway, so that's not a deal-breaker unless something else weird happens.

Dates are locked in.  We are playing on May 15 and June 26.

Arrival time should be as close to 0900 as possible, please.  Game-on will be at 10 sharp.  I'd *like* to extend play until 6pm-ish, since this is kinda the first game we've had in 14 months, and likely the last games we'll have for another 8-12 months.   Address will be sent via text message later today.

[Hat]

Rob, sounds good.  Should we expect the address by PM, IM or something else?

[serrate]

Awesome, sounds great!
