Okay, so now that we have dates (December 14th, and 21st), and a location (google hangouts) to do the IRL meetings at, now it's time to select the time. I figure that the best way to do this is for everyone who intends to participate give me time frames in which they know they will be free at (for example: 3pm-5:00, 8:00pm-11:00pm, etc.), and the time that works for the most people, is the time we'll meet at. Also, just so I don't have to spend hours figuring out the time zones, please submit them in Greenwich Time ( https://www.worldtimezone.com/ ).

Did I miss it?!
Yeah, I normally eat around 7 so we won't be able to go for 1 hr 30 min like last time.
Okay, so the meeting time will be 6:00pm EST (2:00pm AKST) this Friday on Google Hangouts.
Yes, I agree that this can totally become a monthly (or even weekly) thing.
I did have an idea about this Friday/Saturday 's meeting, how about we do something like what we tried to do this time with the questions, but have everyone come up with a list of two or three questions and then take turns answering them.
Also, would anyone be opposed to pushing the meeting time back by an hour?
We could start thinking, after next week's call, about doing a video call monthly – or, at least, on a regular basis. Just an idea.
It's a good think we're doing this next Friday/Saturday to, but we should possibly talk about pushing the time back a bit, so Cass could start at the same time, either that or have her join in later
Dang it . Did I miss it?
Gods of Olympus I'm nervous
Can I have yours?
I'm going to delete it soon, so note it quickly.
Echo and Flamefrost, I deed your email/phone numbers so I an add to the video chat
Oh, I'm just starting the doc
How bout you bein charge of that Wispi
Guys, you know how Flamefrost and I have video chatted? Well, I think we agree that we needed to make topic lists about what we want to talk about on the group video chat today just to be safe. If you want to join us, I definitely suggest it.
That's what I was using, it was just kinda hard because I kept editing out what I typed (apparently "are you still interested in the MB IRL meetings?" contains bad words)
Hey, Rain plays Roblox. Dragon or anyone else who plays Roblox including me try to contact her through there.
I’m good for that time!
Yup, we can do that through Pinterest, and I'm working on getting in contact with Rain
I need everyones email though to put in the GH App. don't tell me on the MB.
Okay, great
Fine with me!
Um. . . . I hope so? My sister is having a birthday party on the 14th around that time, but I will try. I will almost certainly be able to do that time on the 21st.
Fine with me ^~^
Oof, so even on a Saturday there is a bit of a time issue, but for everyone else, I believe the time frame that works best is 8:30pm - 1:30am Zulu starting on 12/14/18
It’s fine Dragon XD sorry for keeping you behind. I will be able to do it at 8 am - 10 am Greenwich mean time. Also I can’t do the 22/21st meeting anymore
Echo, I'm planning on posting the meeting time tomorrow, and I would hate for you not to have a say in it
Good news, I think I figured out the time issue, and oddly enough we have the time zones to thank for it. So, anyways, I realized that most of suggested times were in the evening, meaning that, wile it will still Friday for those of us in the US, it will actually already be Saturday for our friends down under. Now my question for Echo is, when are you free on 15th and 22d of this month?
Curse you timezones! XD
i ,mean we could secretely do this
Wispi, I personally think it's fine. You could contact her via her youtube channel or email (royalshards.wolves@gmail.com) and set up an individual chat with her if you really wanted to.
A role call would be a good idea, I'll try to make sure that happens.
Also, at the moment I don't have a working computer so I'm not able to have about half things done I wanted to yet, but I am going to be honest with y'all and say that we might sadly not be able to include anyone from Australia. I'm trying to find a work around, but the times Echo said she would be free at is the middle of the night in the US
cant get to the link i cant use computer only iPod which is sad
what linkl?
Another question, Dragon: I can access the first search result for "google hangouts" which is this page. https://hangouts.google.com/ Wispiflower and I decided that testing it out would be a good idea, and according to Wispi that link isn't the real Google Hangouts. What is the link for the one we are using?
Hey Dragon, I’ve been thinking about this for a little while. Maybe we should do a role call when we do the video chat? You know, so we can identify each other?
Yes! Thank you!
yeah LOL it wont be so confuso
Dawnfeather (or should I say Scipio), you changed your user again lol?
This is my time(EST) 8PM-10PM and 4PM
12PM-2AM and 8PM in Greenwich time
I actually thought it was pretty funny response for such a pessimistic comment
Ouch. But, ya know, true.
It’s okay Flamefrost, I’m starting to get used to your terrible (just being honest) attempts at jokes.
Actually, I think they meant it figuratively Flamefrost lol
Echo, Wispi, dumb means physically incapable of intelligent speech or uttering sound. I'm fairly sure neither of you qualify in that regard.
This might help (note: Zulu is another name for Greenwich time)
Sounds good Cass, and Wispi, this system is a little complicated, but basically how it works is you tell me the time you can be there at, but instead of saying '3pm EST' you say '7pm'. Because 3pm on the east coast, is the equivalent to 7pm in Greenwich England.
First off, Echo and Wispi you are not dumb!! No one here is! (I have a friend at school her calls herself stupid all the time, its really sad to hear.)
And second, I have absolutely no idea when I’ll be free. I have strict, random restrictions so I don’t know what’ll be going on. When the time is decided I’ll try to make it then.
I’m free after 3pm EST. I don’t really get the system either, because like Echo, I‘m dumb.
I am free after 10:30 Greenwich Mean Time (4:30 where I live)
Any time between 6pm and 5am (Greenwich Time) will most likely work for me
