IRC practices
Is anyone interested in doing practices on IRC again, and if so, what day/time? I can read some, though I'd like to play some too so hopefully we could switch off or something.

Re: IRC practices
I'd participate, especially if some of these occurred during winter break.

Re: IRC practices
I think I can join in during break (my last final is on December 22, no free time guaranteed before that). Generally speaking, any weekday besides Friday is good for me.

Re: IRC practices
Interested for sure. Any day.
Re: IRC practices
since you all suck at naming days of the week this is now on tuesdays and thursdays at 7.
Re: IRC practices
If anyone wants to practice tonight i'd be up for reading.
Re: IRC practices
I'm planning on reading from GSAC XVI tomorrow night starting at 7, unless somebody has an objection to that set or time.
Re: IRC practices
as I mentioned to you on Saturday, Sam, I have math class on Tuesday nights so I probably can't make it. why I didn't say that when you asked people what times work/don't work, I do not know.
Re: IRC practices
Glee is on at 7, but I should be free at 8:02...
Re: IRC practices
math class and glee
oh my god you people
oh my god you people

Re: IRC practices
And I too have something to do at that time! 8:30ish should be good for me though, so if you are still playing at that time, I'll join you.
EDIT: No, it is not watch Glee.

Re: IRC practices
Yeah, I'll be on a while, I imagine. Sabrina and Max should both be fine. Ikshu, what time exactly is your math class?
Re: IRC practices
it goes from 5:30 to 8:00
Re: IRC practices
alright, forget it, we'll just start at 8

Re: IRC practices
Hey guys, aren't we all being a little silly? If we are all online disputing times, why not have something in about 5-10 minutes?

Re: IRC practices
Not to be completely unhelpful, but there technically was a set of Glee bonuses at HSNCT last yearocto wrote:math class and glee

Re: IRC practices

EDIT: max i have physics labs to do. if you want to read then by all means feel free to.

Re: IRC practices
How exactly does an irc practice work? It sounds like a lot of fun, and I'd like to come along.
Furthermore, glee is a perfectly adequate reason to miss an hour of quizbowl, particularly with all that's going on this season.

Re: IRC practices
Click on chat in the top right hand corner when you're logged in, that's the easiest way. It's self-explanatory after that.
Re: IRC practices
I'll probably wander into whatever practices you have (such as the one going on now).

Re: IRC practices
I'd be willing to start this again. Even if we didn't get enough people, we could do a shootout or something.

Re: IRC practices
I would of course still be willing to participate in this.
Re: IRC practices
I think my schedule's settled down enough that I'd be able to participate in this.

Re: IRC practices
For those who still care, this is going to happen on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays, starting this Monday, the 28th of February. It will start around 8 and probably last for a couple hours. If no one else volunteers, I can read every game.

Re: IRC practices
This is still going to happen if people show up.
Re: IRC practices
I will be in there tonight.
Re: IRC practices
I will hopefully be there too.

Re: IRC practices
For the heck of it, let's make it Thursdays and Fridays as well. Not guaranteeing I can read that whole time, but having this nightly would be pretty cool and we'd all be the better for it.Acceleration wrote:For those who still care, this is going to happen on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays, starting this Monday, the 28th of February.

Re: IRC practices
Today's practice started early and is going on now.
Re: IRC practices
High schoolers (Ikshu, Max, Dylan, Aojia) defeat Charlie Dees on ACF Nats packet 225-170, with 10 points on a bonus from Kent.

I agree, especially since they are becoming wildly populated thanks to random Ladue people showing up. So, this is now going to happen Monday-Friday around the same time. Show up!
Re: IRC practices
Is this still going on? If so, where do I go to get to the practices?

Re: IRC practices
I wouldn't mind stopping by sometime to read or play.
Re: IRC practices
I would read for these. I need to get my kids on here anyway.

Re: IRC practices
I think this would probably be a good idea for all involved. I might be able to read on some nights.

Re: IRC practices
I'd be up for doing something this evening at like 7 or so; I could read a few games unless someone else showed up who wanted to.
Re: IRC practices
I'd be interested in joining. I'm pretty bad, so it would at least be a good learning experience.

Is there any interest in restarting these in the irc?
