There are quite a few people who still play, Charity, but usually late in the evening. I'm one of the ones often on during the earlier hours, though, and I'm always happy to RP.

Cool. Is that evening server time?

For future reference. Server runs on Pacific (UTC: -08:00) though for simpler reasons (I guess?) we tend to schedule things in Eastern (UTC: -05:00)

"Prime Time" now a days is approximately 11pm Eastern but due to many East Coast night owls taking a hiatus, prime time is slowly moving back to an earlier time. (undefined at this time)

I'll be probably out for a few days, maybe weeks, I dunno.

Which is kinda cool considering it is a perfect moment for me to end my character's season one, on a cliffhanger.
Next episode, season two, I'll introduce some changes and she will be probably second year. But I'll let some time flows first to make it feels less "sudden".

So, Jade, be prepared: Ellie will be taller than you when she returns

Wb! I'd wondered where Eleonor was, good to see you haven't gone away. Just so you know, you don't have to wait between character years. If it syncs up with something you have to do IRL, that's fine, but it's definitely not required at all - we'd rather have you on the server RPing than waiting to RP! The more important thing is to make sure that you don't call attention to the weird timey wimey issues of yearing up - for example, calling out that Jade is the same year while Eleonor has jumped ahead.

Yup! I got that! But it's just a good time for me to take a break and I probably have to anyhow for some IRL reasons.

And yeah, the time paradox, we don't talk about it or else the galaxy will be destroyed, I know.
It will sure be awkward in a few "years" if I'm still talking to people that were seventh when I was first. But hey it's a game, it's okay... and I'm good at pretending!

It's a little weird, yeah, but not really avoidable. I have a strange situation with Sam where, when he was a first year, a 7th year was flirting with him and made him completely uncomfortable. Now they're only two years apart, and to be honest, he wouldn't have reacted that way had that character been a third year at the time. But all you can do is handwave it, you can't undo 2 RL years of RP and character interaction just because it no longer makes any sense due to weird year-up shenanigans.

Jade's kind of expecting that anyway! haha
We'll miss you, though!

Been w/o internet for 3 weeks so haven't been able to notify anyone of anything. But now I do have internet, unless Zeus wants to snipe the wireless antenna again. So you shall see me in game again.

For those /really/ concerned about IC excuse about Xander being MIA. Just take it from McKinnon, he's off disilluioned some where plotting against Sam and/or generally being shady...out of public eye.

For those who know Xander, dude is loaded with NEWTS classes, enough said.

Hey guyssss. I'm going to be visiting family in CO, as well as going to one of my best friend's wedding! So I will be gone for 2 weeks, or at least my play time will be very limited since I want to spend as much time as I can with the family and friends.

I'll also post a rumor about this, but my absence IS IN CHARACTER.

<3
