In Andy's recent poll, the most popular alternate time was Friday evening. If we play on Friday the 4th instead of Thursday the 3rd, who will be online to play? I will be there.
Also, state what time you would be available, so that we can figure out a starting time. If we have enough interest, it's quite possible that there could be 2-3 games, with players coming and going as they're able. When our Thursday night games were better-attended, this was common. Our normal start time has traditionally been 8pm CST (GMT-6), but I would encourage players to log on earlier if they're available, and we can run a ballon-busting mission as soon as we have three players. I may be available as early as 7pm.
Depending on the success of this, we could consider switching to Friday games, or alternating between Thursdays and Fridays. Saturdays have also been working fairly well recently.

I'll be there, and any time would be good. The earlier the more time to play though!

Once I work out the time dilation, I can probably make it. (Currently +11 GMT)

Should be 1pm Saturday your time if we have a regular 8pm CST start. However, we have at least two people available for starting an hour earlier.

I think I can make that. My preferred start time would be 8:00 PM EST, but 9 or 10 would probably be ok with me too. I'll see if I can get some friends to join too.

I'll be at work until 10:30PM, but could be online after that  I'll jump in and see if we're on or not around that time. Also, since it is Friday, I wouldn't mind waiting for a second game to start...I've been doomed to the "second game wait" at the Source (FLGS) since starting work on Fridays anyway ;D!! -herm

Did we ever decide on a start time? I'm planning on playing, so I'm going to try to get on at about 9:00 PM EST (or earlier if I'm able). So, hopefully I'll see some of you then.

I may not be able to make it...  Somethings come up and I'm not sure when it will end tonight. If I'm there, I'm there, but if not ever one have fun!

I've decided to log on at 7pm CST and set up a balloon busting mission, so that we can get started as soon as there are 3 players. If a 4th shows up, it's easy to switch to a regular mission at the last moment.
If there are fewer than 3 people online when I've set things up, I will check in every half hour.

I may actually be able to get on earlier than expected, hopefully I should be able to join by 7ish!
Something to think about for the next update... is vassal capable of producing sounds? It would be nice to have some sort of indicator when someone comes online or types a PM etc... that way you would know if another user was online & not have to constantly check, OR miss when someone types a message...

4 games?!! That's gotta be some sort of VDP record. How late did you play? The most games I've ever participated in in a VDP evening is two.
