HELLO AATHER. After all that trauma clearly what everyone needs is a raid post, am I right?

I will be running one this Thursday, October 3rd, at 9 EST, assuming that nothing unexpected happens to my schedule (which these days is always a risk). Unlike the previous raids, there is no combat planned; this is a ~~sneaking~~ stealth and exploration mission, so pack your cardboard boxes. (Combatants are of course welcome to come along, but I don't intend to run a battle.) There will be a chance to explore some of the areas that most of Aather hasn't yet seen, as well as the possibility of gathering some intelligence on the Emperor Rat.

I'm sorry to bother and I hope this won't come off as entitled or anything, but do you think in the future it could be at all possible to arrange (or get someone else to arrange) a raid at a earlier time...?

I realize these obviously have to be when you're around, but that's 3 A.M. for me, and while I'm often up at that hour, lasting the entire way is highly unlikely for me, and it's something I would like to have the chance to play with at least once. I know there's other people in different timezones that would probably enjoy the chance, too, so I was wondering if it were at all possible to organize something maybe on a smaller scale...? for those who can't make it at that hour.

Sorry for the bother and I hope this won't come off the wrong way! I understand why something is at a certain hour but also a bit of variety would make me really happy :

I do plan to run others at varying times, particularly on weekends, and I will keep your request in mind; I generally use 9 EST because it hits a reasonable balance between EST and PST being around and also fits with my schedule, but weekends do give me a bit more flexibility as far as timing is concerned and I will see about changing things up a bit in general.

That said, everyone is absolutely free to run posts like these whenever they have the time and inclination; I don't want to give the impression that I'm the only one who can just because I'm the only one who has. I do ask that difficulty stays roughly consistent with previous post simply because otherwise things get kind of weird, but other than that, if someone wants to run a post for people with timezones I'm less able to make, that is completely fine. As long as four interested characters can get together for the post, anyone can run a raid!

Oh i honestly had no idea I hope it didn't sound like I was accusing you of like, HOARDING THINGS or something like that!

Thank you so much for replying and understanding and I'm going to look forward a possible raid!! at a little earlier time!

It's fine; I can see how you'd get the impression since I still am the only one who's actually done it, but it's really something anyone's allowed to do as long as that four-character requirement is met. (And note that it's characters, not players, and the runner's characters count. >> It's an IC requirement.)

Out of curiosity and for future planning, when would be good for you? I'd like to aim the Emperor Rat finale for maximum badasses joining in.

Honestly a 6 PM EST works just fine for me, I'm used to be up at crazy times, but start time is my major worry because while I can last easy for 4/5 hours if i start at midnight, it's not as doable if i start at 3 A.M.

I'm obviously not expecting people to bend over and do things in a euroaustralasian good time since I understand that's really not getting a lot of players, but like, really just 3 hours earlier than usual make a world of a difference for me (and the other european players in game |D)

Like honestly legit one raid at that time out of all the ones planned ever would be super great for me! Again I apologize for sounding like a douche and stuff I'm really super appreciative of your understanding (and of course if a runner picks things up that's also cool)

6 or 7 EST is pretty doable, I think! Especially if it's on a weekend and doesn't have to run into people's jobs. I will definitely see what I can do.

Thank you so much!! that is super amazing /)'w'(\

ILU! This means I can send in both of mine.
