Game Dates
« on: August 30, 2017, 01:10:26 AM »

I am looking at the following dates to continue the current campaign, now that we'll be past the old 18-month window I posted for the Clan Watch campaign.  Give a heads-up ASAP if you have an issue with these.  I'll be transmitting them to Eric at Sci-fi to make sure we aren't overlapping other groups.  I'd also like to increase the rate of games - just slightly, to try and counter the 3 weeks of dead time we're getting on the forums; I think people are forgetting to check back here every 2-3 days to ensure nothing's been updated.

2017
14 October
11 November
9 December (this cannot be changed)

2018
13 January
27 January
17 February
March 17th
14 April
28 April
19 May
23 June
21 July
11 August
8 September
29 September
20 October
10 November
15 December

I Oct and Dec my group won't be able to make it (Oct baby due and Dec already have commitment that can't be changed). With the rest of  the dates, I'm  not sure that my group could make games in same month only having 2 weeks in between games. So we may have to miss a game those months. I also don't like the long times in between but with Origins, Gencon, and Holidays it may be difficult not to have a couple longer times each year.

I wont be busy any of those days for the time being since school ends before our Dec game. After that, unless I go out of town, I will be free for whatever.

I understand, ESPECIALLY regarding October.  December can't be changed because of a combination of venue and the fact that I'm gone on business on the first, third, fourth, and fifth weekends of that month.

As for the other stuff, I do understand.  I would request an attempt to make it work; particularly Sepember of 2018, since there's 3 weeks between those games.  I'm going to start an RSVP system two months in advance, so assuming this schedule holds firm, I'd be asking for RSVPs for the October game immediately, and then asking for them for the November game immediately following the September game.  That lets me massage the MegaMek settings to ensure we don't have people who won't be here getting selected for missions by AtB.

Pope, is there an extension for these forums that includes a calendar of events?  The Calander function on the tab under my avatar doesn't work.

I added it to my to do list.

Venue can be up for discussion.
