Okay, this Sunday, AUGUST 16th, at 12pm east coast time, 5pm UK time, 9am West Coast time, etc.. there will be Blitz!
-------------------------------------------------------------------
So I'm sick and tired as I post this but I wanted to before I go to bed...
This coming fall, if I'm as half as busy with school as I think I will be (ugh), then I don't anticipate having any time for iSketch (boo) so I figured I'd better fit in some high-quality iSketch playing now!
That being said, is anyone up for some Blitz!-ing? :embarrassed:
It's my favorite room... and so far this summer it's been open like once a week + occupied by noobs (lame).
Maybe a Blitz! Tournament or something similar to the 99 Rounds of tw/bp. I just need people to play in there - in any form!! I'm indifferent to whichever form is chosen, though I love the competition that comes with the Tournaments, the bagillion rounds form just seems easier to plan (i.e. we'll open the room at yadda yadda, just drop in, etc.)
If anyone is remotely interested (someone, please, be interested...) then let's do this!

I'll join you for some Blitz spec!!!! Maybe later on tonight if you're still up and about. I'm prep-ing for a party that's going on here tomorrow night but I'll be done soon :D

Um. I would probably play on and off if I'm around, but as I'm on holiday soon so I dunno xD. I don't mind the long games with many rounds, but sometimes if you join halfway you have no chance of winning, but meh. :)
I'll be around for some Blitzing! :) It's my fav also (Y)

Hahah Jenni, I remember Blitz with spectre too...fortunately, I'm so far behind in the stats race I can't even begin to care about losing games in rapid succession. Since I'm playing on a different computer this summer, I have the n00b dot and everything...I could use a few games of Blitz! to get rid of that one. It takes too long in other rooms :(

blitz. with spectre. is harddddddd
but then again, i rarely play any games XD so my stats dont matter to me :P im lucky if i get 1 win ever XD (i have 20 something out of 10000 or something) :P
Just because it's impossible, doesn't mean you shouldn't give it a go jen :)

no i don't mean "now"!!!! a day would have to be picked out, a specific time would be posted. sorry if my first post seemed confusing...
Come on someone with organisational skills....
Sorsie
08-08-2009, 09:13 AM
Or we could just stay in there forevveeeeeeeeeeeer until someone comes along.. Ahah. xD
No need for organisation :P
Anyways, good luck with that :)
Why not just say this sunday and next sunday at like.. um. 12pm or like 8pm GST/GMT whichever one is the time here. xD I dunno. THERE. Discuss :P Cuz I just don't know the timezones of all interested I'm not sure whether it would be good to go early/later. :)
/me gets his preference for not too late GMT+1/BST time in early :P
i'm only entering if MooDood. does.
jenni939706
08-08-2009, 09:10 PM
:0 not if i do mato? :(
/me feels unwanted now :P
btw. can someone plz explain these timezones? -_- my head hurts from being out all day.

jenni you read my mind! :D
i was just gonna post that we should have it at like.. 12 pm my time.. err.. i'm east coast US.... wait let me google time zones... idk if i'm in DST or not.. this is so sad..
okay so i'm UTC -5, so 12pm my time would be 5pm for uk-ers and I'd assume midnight for certain australians? sorry my knowledge of time zones is seemingly.. nonexistent. i'll blame it on my being sick, yeah, that's it.
Think you're UTC -4 atm and we are UTC +1? Whatever, still means 12pm for you and 5pm for the UK. :) Sounds like a good time.
Again, I'll wait to see if MooDood. is playing before I commit.
west coast us -0
mountain us - 1
central us - 2
eastern us - 3
uk - 8
australia - 17
thats what i know from time zone differences.... just find your time zone, and subtract from the time zone you want to find out about, and youll get the difference
i.e. uk (8) - eastern us (3) = 5. so uk is 5 hours ahead of them...
yeah we got the five hours bit xD
Thanks for posting the chart - should make it easire for everyone to figure out the time in their zone (Y)

spectre
09-08-2009, 05:29 PM
uhm yeah so i kind of just woke up... (still sick, i swear i am)
haha and that's embarrassing, i forgot today was sunday.
okay next sunday it is (i swear i will set my alarm!!!!!!!)
gives us a week to get some more people? :D

09-08-2009, 07:21 PM
hm...if u want, i can ask around?
spectre
09-08-2009, 11:16 PM
ya mato, a week you have :P minus 7 hours and 16 minutes of course. begin!
so it will be more 99 round-esque than tournament-esque from what i am readingg

Well, this Sunday will work better for me, so I'll try to make an appearance in there at some point. Looking forward to playing with speccy again!!!
Maybe I'll play. I'm not sure though.
