  We will probably try to finish this game tomorrow unless something comes up.

  Got a definite time as to when we'll be starting? Or is it going to be around 9:00P.M. EST again?

  I'll be home at 8 CST (9EST), or around then. No clue what happened last night, thought it was another dc but my whole net was down. Tried to fix it for ~15 minutes then gave up and went to bed.

  We stopped when you disconnected. Epi had to sleep too.

  Ah, hate to keep randomly disappearing on you guys >_>
  
  I'll wear my good luck scarf tonight.

  A good luck scarf? That's [S]cute[/S] cool.
  
  I've also been disconnected from the server and when I try to log back in, I get that all too familiar error that my player name has already been used.
  Just a heads up, so it doesn't look like I've forgotten about everyone.

  That's happened to me once or twice with my DnD group. What you can do is change your name and log in, waiting patiently for the server to boot your previous name. The DM has the power to give your temporary name control over your token(s).
  
  Edit: Although, I will add that things might get just a bit interesting if it's ever the DM's username that's in this situation. I suggest s/he have a backup name ready in advance so as to minimize the interruption as much as possible.

  Oh thanks for the head's up. Like you said, I just had to wait a while.
  
  Thankfully, it hasn't happened yet to Nithiel :lol:

  No prob. Btw, I've been meaning to ask for awhile. What's the server/channel information for the Nation group? I've wanted to at least sit in and observe a session just to see what a Forgotten Realms campaign looks like and what roles are already being filled before deciding if I want to commit to a second campaign (assuming there's space left and that an invitation is still open). So long as it's not Saturdays between 4-9 EST, I'd be available as far as I'm aware.

  Check out that journal thing Arsik wrote up in Bean Rua. It's fairly accu---

  Arsik worded it best here:
  
  

  Quote from Arsik;751742:

  If you haven't joined the network, name is Mabination2, and I don't think there's a password, do so. Then when we start the game, who ever is going to be the host (at this point it's looking like Nithiel will) will start up MapTools, load up the map, and start a server. Then when that's taken care of, you, with your client of MapTools, under File, click on "Connect to Server". In the new window that pops up, under the "Direct" tab, you'll enter his Hamachi IP address (5.98.95.53) where it says "Address", and next to "Port", you enter "51234". At that point, you now just wait to load the map and everyone else to join, and then begin the adventure.

  
  
  The group typically starts around Friday evenings, but it's not exact.
