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 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.
