Gameplay times.
« on: February 10, 2011, 05:37:36 am »

There's a lot of us here, and we're all indifferent timezones, so getting a group together to play something canbe a hassle. I aim to help with  this situation, but need your help. here's what you do:

1: Download this template:



2: Blocks are one hour each, starting from 00:00 GMT on monday morning, going to 23:00 GMT Sunday Night. fill in, using a color of your choice, the hours in the day when you can generally be expected to be able to play some games. remember, the times are GMT, so you want to convert it first.

3: Upload it to an imagehosting site that doesn't re-size the images. this means not photobucket or tinypic.

4: post it here, along with your steam ID, if you got one, and I'll compile it together.

Each bar also links to a steam profile, if applicable.














If enough people participate, I may also compile it to a bar graph.

Sounds like a good idea.

You may want to add another space for steam name as quite a lot of us use a different name on there.

Tinypic seems to resize it. could you upload that somewhere else? (the link in my sig works well, and needs no registration)

Ok, up on that one, with a slight change.

edit: Also posted a note up over on the DFC community page on steam, so hopefully get some more people adding to this.

this one's gotten resized by photobucket. I can use it, but it'll look bad.

particularly because I might SBAHJ it as well.

This is for normally. There are also weekdays like today where I can't go in to work, in which case my gaming schedule is much more similar to Saturday.

I have a decent amount of time. The lighter purple is where I'm usually guaranteed to have work, but if I'm not assigned it, then it's free. I think I calculated the difference correctly. Chart based on -5 GMT, converted to 0.

As it should read (-5 pre-calculated), I'm generally available between 11AM-2AM all days of the week within my time zone. Some way, somehow, I find time.



Of course, if not friended already, the globe under my avatar has a link to my Steam profile.

EDIT:
oh, by the way, I know this goes without saying, but the less white your bar has, the less of a life you've got.
In my case, it's not as much that I don't have a life, it's just that I found a career path that allows me more freedom with my time with a still decent enough income to get by. Just as well, I have my ways of finding and making use of my time. One would ask if I ever do anything at all. You'd be surprised. I'm more efficient and capable than I expected myself to be.

As for other parts of Real Life, the dating world is not the kindest of environments, and people are no help, and my unorthodox methods and means of obtaining one are generally frowned upon. Probably because I am myself most of the time, and that intimidates people, or tricks them into thinking I'm already taken. Counter-intuitively, you'd think that would improve my chances, according to standard social behaviors. Let's not forget, I've been stumbling across advice and information I coudl've used ages ago, but only would've been given had I followed convention at least once in awhile. I call bullshit on that. Wouldn't have been given any even if I my real self was rendered a memory.

Nice. I think it really will help us figure events out better. Hopefully this is right.

Note that my free time is pretty unpredictable.

Same with most people, unpredictable but this is probably the best estimates I can give.
