Nice thread layout!

Their response appears to be a neutral one. The first chat will undoubtably set the mood for the rest of the game.

 

[croxis]

I'm impressed! Please feel them out and be as warm and receptive as possible

Greetings and salutations! Let me introduce myself, I am Methos, Ambassador of Fanatica to your great nation. Let us hope that we can walk in peace with each other in the course of our journeys.

In respect to our meeting, we the people of Fanatica would like to discuss with you our future relationship and how we could best work together. We propose a 'chat' between our two great nations.

Please send all replies to both isdg.cfc@gmail.com and dustem@gmail.com. The second email is my personal email. Thank you and we look forward to furthering our relations.

The best times for a chat for our team would be:

Monday: 20:00 – 02:30
Wednesday: 00:00 – 02:30 (early Thurs due to GMT)
Friday: 17:00 – anytime

Please note, all times are stated using GMT +0, hence the reason some of them go into the next day. Wednesday's time is actually early morning Thursday due to GMT. Do any of these times work for you and your team?

I use MSN and my username is dust_em.

[Methos]

What times are everyone free so I can send some suggestions? It's possible for me on...

Mon\Wed 20:00 - 02:30
Tues\Thur 01:00 - 02:30
Friday 17:00 - anytime
Saturday anytime

Edit #2: As requested, all times have been adjusted to GMT +0, so Tues/Thur is technically very early Wed/Fri morning by GMT +0 time.

Friday could be earlier if need be. I work 3rd shift so sleep during the day. I can easily adjust since its the weekend. During the week I can get up earlier if that is the only time available for everyone. Though I'd prefer not to get up before 19:00. I have class on Tues\Thur, hence the reason it's later in the evening.

This coming weekend is Labor Day weekend, though I don't believe we're doing anything. The wife hasn't told me yet anyway .

Edit: BTW, of Rishubhav's options I only have MSN.

 

[croxis]

Methos, I hate to be a jerk but could you keep all times posted here in GMT? Convertine from GMT to my timezone is just automatic in my head and I'm too lazy to do an extra math step

 

[classical_hero]

Fortunately I have both. I agree with Croxis, because it is just so much easier to do to in GMT time, not your specific timezome.

No problem, already fixed.

So what times are good for you all? I'd like to send my reply this afternoon when I wake up.

 

[classical_hero]

Firday would be best for me, since it would happen on Saturday for me.

 

[croxis]

MSN or IRC:
Mon 20:00 - 02:30
Wed 00:00 - 02:30 (thursday in GMT)
Friday 17:00 - anytime

 

[RegentMan]

In the evening for me... so 6:00pm --> 1:00 GMT. Anytime during Saturday or Sunday, although I am busy this Saturday day.

 

[Methos]

Message has been sent. You can see it here.

 

[Methos]

I still haven't heard back from COG's ambassador so I sent an email to remind him of our chat.

 

[Methos]

Okay, after several emails, a chat with rishubhav (COG's ambassador), and another email, I believe we are having the chat today at GMT 17:00. I hope this isn't too late to let everyone know.

BTW, I'm confused on what GMT time I'm in. At the bottom of the CFC screen it states I'm in GMT -5, yet I believe the Central Time Zone is GMT -6, so which am I? To help out, right now as I'm posting this its 7:42 am here in Missouri.

Edit: I need your usernames for the chat. BTW, how exactly do you set up a group chat with MSN? I'll try and figure it out, but I know some of you have done it before. Do you just do a normal chat with one person and than add others to that chat?

 

[dutchfire]

Yes, you add others, and you are in GMT -5 according to the forum.
(it says 2.41 PM, and I'm in +2)

 

[Methos]

Is there anything specific we wish to discuss with COG?

 

[Methos]

Chat has started!

 

[classical_hero]

I am online. classical_hero7 at the usual. This is at 16:00 GMT, not 17:00 GMT as previously stated.
