Sciborg

22:00

Tomorrow night is pretty iffy for me because i'm DMing another group :( it would have to be pretty late in the evening my time.

i.e. after 9:00 PM my time, which is... 2:00 UTC i think?

msh210

Any DM worth their salt can DM up to six groups simultaneously.

(kidding of course)

Mithical

@Sciborg hmm, 4AM. Not great. Three hours later? :P

msh210

9pm your time is 2am UTC, 4am our time. I sincerely hope not to be up at that hour.

Sciborg

i mean, i could DM them over voice simultaneously DMing you over text, but the mental gymnastics required would be insane :P

and yeah i would be extremely sleepy

timezones are hard :(

bobble

would you like to know who invented timezones in the US?

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

22:02

I don't know if the discord game is going anywhere

I still want to be involved somehow but I know I can't

The DIscord game might happen

Sciborg

is there another night that plausibly works for you Mith?

msh210

@bobble Hedy Lamarr?

(also a joke. top form tonight)

bobble

according to my AP US History textbook, railroad companies

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

@bobble that sounds right

msh210

oh I knew it was because of RRs, didn't know they actually invented it

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

22:04

but who made it an international thing?

bobble

to be fair the textbook may have been simplifying things

Mithical

@Sciborg this week? probably not except for Thursday

msh210

this past Thursday worked well for me; did it for both of you?

Sciborg

@msh210 does Thursday at the same time as before work for you as well? (5PM my time i think?)

msh210

@Sciborg yeah. Preferably, in the future, actually starting on time :-)

Sciborg

22:06

sorry, we got held up by a rules discussion. i'll be strict about cutting off the chat this time

Mithical

@msh210 (I admit to napping beforehand but yes)

msh210

@Sciborg to the extent feasible, of course. Only because your 5pm is our 0:00

Sciborg

If another time works better for either of you please let me know, i do feel bad making you stay up that late ;-;

i don't mind being the one to stay up late

msh210

Mith said 7am (your midnight). I'm afraid that doesn't really work for me, though

Sciborg

Yeah. I don't mind being up past midnight though, if that ever changes

i have insomnia anyway, so... :p

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

22:10

Just pointing out that I'm in sciborg's time zone

I know, too many people

Mithical

@Sciborg I found that antihistamines really help fight insomnia >.<

Sciborg

@ThePuzzlingPlatypus are you here for a particular reason or just to complain?

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

That's a good question

Sciborg

because i'm a nice person but i am getting tired of it

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

Sorry, I"ll shut up

I was hoping to watch another session

Sciborg

22:11

i've changed you to read access then.

@Mithical i usually use melatonin gummies :p

Mithical

I've been meaning to give those a shot at some point

msh210

opiates are good too, but, you know, you get used to them and need to up the dosage and... I'm not speaking from experience or anything

Mithical

my sleep schedule is whack, so

Sciborg

i've been thinking of trying a stronger sleep med, but they don't always mix well with my other med

would worry too much about side effects

Mithical

I mix all the meds >.<

Sciborg

22:15

the specific anxiety medication i'm on can apparently mix really poorly with sleeping pills :p

Mithical

If I double dose certain things I'm not allowed to sleep for the next six hours but this is what coffee is for

This discussion reminded me I forgot to apply something...

Anyway. This week aside from tomorrow Thursday is probably the only night option, otherwise most mornings should work. (Lots of rain, so lots of boredom.)

Sciborg

If a particular morning works for you at any point, msh, I'm happy to stay up late my time to do a morning session :)

keep us posted

bobble

when is "morning"

around what time UTC?

Sciborg

Mith said 7am their time, trying to convert

i guess 2am my time?

confused

timezones

msh210

7am our time is midnight yours @Sciborg

Sciborg

22:22

ahh, ok

msh210

(except when you're on DST and we're not, or vice versa :-) )

Sciborg

right :P

msh210

but our morning really isn't good for me, in general. And if it is on any given day, I won't know about it ahead of time

Sciborg

That's okay, no worries. So I guess our usual time is the best-ish one for now

i just feel bad that it requires slight insomnia on your part

msh210

no worries afai'm concerned. I'm too-often up late anyway

Graylocke

22:29

(yawns and flomps)

msh210

oh and @Mithical if you noticed anything missing from my summary of our session that you think might be helpful for the future, do lemme know

One thing João failed to do on first meeting Kith -- which I only thought of afterward -- was Investigate her. Perhaps I'll have him do that at the start of next session.

I mean, that seems like a reasonable thing to do on meeting any stranger.

Sciborg

"Roll for a vibe check" :P

msh210

using Investigation, though, no?

Sciborg

Of course

msh210

(I get +0 on my int skills :-/ )

bobble

22:34

I get -1 on Dex

msh210

klutz

bobble

anything in access that needs to be changed?

Sciborg

no, that's fine. we can probably make msh and Mith owners if they want.

msh210

I don't think ownership would give me any ability my diamond doesn't. (Though Mith knows this sort of thing and would be able to answer that better. What say you, @Mithical ?)

Sciborg

True, you are a Diamond Wielder :P

msh210

22:42

doesn't help in D&D though so what good is it

Mithical

@msh210 (not unless it's a private room and you're set as a Moderator Owner)

msh210

Mithical

As in that's the only time it makes a difference

Sciborg

So you already have The Power

msh210

But it may be worthwhile making Mith owner here, so they can, e.g., move messages if they get off-topic, or, um, change the room summary.

Mithical

@ppwater it's an unwritten rule that I have to be RO everywhere

Sciborg

The "lead" has been bothering me for a while

Mithical

Sciborg

but i was too lazy to change it

bobble
