Don't you just love it when…

You're gonna go to a big event , get ready for it , feeling great and in the end…you don't log in time for it...in this case , I couldn't stay up at 2 AM to play NWN , and because of that , I missed a big event. I asked the DMs if I could join , they said no , fair , but dissappointing , and very much so. I , personally , don't think I should schedule my life around a game , but I didn't complain about the time , because I would be one in a minority who wouldn't be comfortable with it. And that minority , missed out on a great deal of fun , and now , I find myself at a very hard position , seeing as my character was invited to participate , I didn't have anything pressing to do , I just couldn't stay up , and I now , have to think of some kind of dumb excuse for my character's absence on a mission of great importance , which would sound really , really stupid infront of those that actually survive the event. My point being : I know you can't accomodate every player , but why not make an exception for those few who are under harder circumstances? I don't expect you to read through all this , and I expect it to be locked pretty quickly , so , whatever , just wanted to vent this out somewhere.

This server has people from all around the globe. When we set up events, we try to spread them around the timezones to involve as many people as possible. I'm sorry that you couldn't make this one event, but trust me, there will be more. Besides, we DMs are not machines either and don't get paid for running the show, so we do occasionally choose to run events at times that fit us the best. Due to work, school, etc.

I'm not sure I understand what harder circumstances you are under. We try to have DM events spread across the time zones. Sorry you couldn't make this one but I have yet to meet a player whose character holds an IC grudge due to a player not being able to log in due to OOC considerations.

Coffe, Coke, Red Bull, caffeine pills, taking some hours sleep earlier and then get up later for the event. All those things work. I've tried some of them.

Mmmm, coke.

There will always be moar ebol to crush! It happens. Go pwn new plotz. No shortage. You can even make up your own. DMs roll with it if it's awesome.

just type the following when asked about the topic
"//it was in the middle of the night and I couldn't stay up. I'm mad enough about it without the pressure to figure out IC excuses. grrr."I guess there will be no other questions.
:D
