Actually, now that I think about it, that does not work for me... Starting July 26th or so, I will be busy with a summer school class from 9 AM to Noon PST Monday to Thursday, though with lab from 1-4 PM PST IIRC on two of those days, possibly Tuesday and Thursday. The week before, I will be away on vacation.

Thursdays at those times (5pm - 9ms GMT) should work for me until august I think. That's morning here (PST), and I have thursday mornings free I think.

I will be able to be here from 7 PM to 9 PM on any of the mentioned days. So count me in, as an annoying lurker however. (That, or as a character prone to fits of narcolepsy, your choice)

The old post had a few misunderstandings about time zone math. Hopefully I did not miss anyone. Feel free to yell at me if I missed you.

Also, apparently GMT does not adjust based on daylight savings time... oi. PST is actually GMT -7 right now, EST is GMT -4.

code:
Player         | Times Available (all in GMT)
-----------------------------------------------------------
Fyron | Flexible
Narf | 8 PM to 10 AM
Combat Wombat | Flexible
gregebowman | maybe
Alneyan | maybe 9 PM to 6 AM
Taz | 3 AM to 12 PM
GMLocutus | Anytime past 8PM, except on Teusdays
| or Thursdays
Cyclop | Tues, Wed, and/or Thurs, 1 AM to 4 AM,
| might be able to DM
Dumbluck | weekdays 9 PM to 11 PM and 2 AM to 4 AM.
| weekends maybe
Tanus | needs to work around schedule

So in the revised schedule, it looks like 1 AM to 4 AM GMT on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday is the time to play, as our only DM volunteer (Cyclop) has only these times available. Keeping in mind that regardless of daylight savings time, the EST time listed below is confirmed as when Cyclop is available. This translates to:

GMT: 1 AM to 4 AM
EST: 9 PM to 12 AM
CST: 8 PM to 11 PM
MST: 7 PM to 10 PM
PST: 6 PM to 9 PM

If you are interested, please meet on the #se4 IRC channel tonight at 2 AM GMT (or 10 PM EST, 7 PM PST) for preliminary discussions, if you can. Exchanging emails, discussing when we can start, etc. would be useful via instant chat. Follow the link in my signature if you are unsure of how to use IRC.

I am interested in joining but thought it was at 5am to me so I didn't bother. If it is 1am GMT then as I am at +10 I think I can handle 11 am to 2pm.
I have tried gamesurge and it let me register but I can't connect. The connection FAQ is uselss as clicking on it only reloads the faq menu. I don't have any IRC stuff, and mIRC says it only works for 30 days before I have to buy.
I don't have any current manuals but am prepared to get the Players manual if I am to participate.

You don't actually need the manual. Technically, only the DM needs it, but there's enough between the other people that someone could probably help you.

Try trillian for IRC.

I install Trillian (incidentally mistaking gamesnet for gamesurge), then go to gamesurge to see if it automatically uses Trillian. Now it asks me if I want the applet (and it asks me each time I go to test). I seem to be able to get #se4 but theres no one there. Oh well.

Anyway it appears that the game can at least be why I am awake. I have however started a part time job (government scheme, so no pay) recently that I do 2 times a week, which might be when the game is organised. Once the time is set I'll see about changing my schedule.

Edit: oh yeah my times, lets see
I am +10 GMT so

0100 to 1400. I usually have access to my computer, but sometimes my mother uses my computer to do her research and email.

It is possible that there was a server error and the server you connected to was partially down (read: split from the rest of the Gamesurge servers).
