game times

Hey, Kyriakos; I've been thinking about my trauma game plans for March and when exactly I should be running my game, currently scheduled for Saturday, March 22nd. I figured I'd toss up a poll about it to catch everyone's opinions, and while I'm at it, why not poll on general game times as well? So if you're interested in playing in games here in Kyriakos, please fill this out!

Poll #15025 game times
Open to: Registered Users, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 20


What times would you be able to make it to a game?

If you have any comments on game-running times and the like, feel free to chime in, too. I know some people in Kyriakos have problems with being in timezones that aren't very well aligned with games as they're currently often run, and I'd like to try to address that as much as feasibly possible.

YOOOO I am just here to say that it would be super nice to see more impactful games (trauma or otherwise!) being run on weekdays, or at nonstandard times! Or both! By nonstandard times I mean anywhere between 3am and 3pm EST. Kyriakos is as a whole very, very weekend-heavy rn.

I only filled out questions two and three since I will be absent that particular weekend o7 so just answered the ones about general availability!

As I am in Australia working 9-5 I pretty much can't make any game that isn't Friday-Saturday in evenings EST. I'd like more 24-hour games during the week, because those I can do!

I don't know if this is something that would be easy for everyone, but if game runners could list in the post of their game what time they generally plan the game to be running until and if it's a game with rounds the times for the rounds that would help me a lot to know if a game is something it would be good for me to jump into or if I would just be frustrating everyone as a last minute addition. With my job I'm not home a lot until either 45 minutes OR two hours after a game has started so I'm always uncertain if by jumping in I will be screwing up the first round of a game or if the game only has thirty minutes left and I'll be frustrating people coming in at the tail end of it.

Just as an example:
GAME TIME: 6-10pm EST
Round 1: 6-8pm EST
Round 2: 8-10pm EST
