First things first: I'm handing off DE responsibilities to whomever wants it.

Second things second: y'all might've noticed I've been sucking majorly at picking up slowtimes. There's a reason for this, and that reason is that ever since I started seriously getting into weightlifting and HIIT training, a lot of other stuff I used to do for recreation has lost its allure (yes, even vidya and RP).

I'll still be around on AIM, and from time to time I'll throw up an OOM or an EP, and I'll do my best to accommodate thread requests - I'll just be a lot scarcer. (I do have Plans for Archer that I at least want to try to get started on soon, because they make me giggle, but that's another story.)

Anyway. The dumbbells are calling, and I must go. Peace, y'all.

Thank you for doing the DE!

And if you get your HIIT from youtube, search 'geek workout' - there's a Dragonball z one there I tried which was both geeky and sweaty XD

A secodn voice for thanking you for doing DE duties!

I'd be up for doing a day or so of the week, but I don't want to do the whole week myself again.

I could also do a day or two a week, starting on October 6th -- I'll be gone until then.

And I'll be gone for a long-needed vacation in the week of October 20th. So if we could find a third person now, we might be able to split the week between us.

[bjornwilde]

I like this. The DE doesn't seem like something that can burn you out but it does.

Do you have a preference on which days? Or should we wait until we have a third to split them up?

[yakalskovich]

Let's wait for the third.

And then, we can wrangle weeks between us -- split regularly, but maintain some sort of conversation somewhere, so if one of us is away on 'their' day, we can swap.-

[bjornwilde]

Even better.

My vote - personally - is to leave Saturday up to whoever wants to grab it. There's never much action on it anyway, so why spend time thinking up a topic? Leave it as a free-for-anyone, have two or three people - or five! - taking a day or two each.

[bjornwilde]

Another good point. Saturdays do seem like they could go to a swing-shift, first-to-grab it kind of thing.

Now if we could find one more for the week. And for next Monday and Tuesday, as I am on vacation.

[never_promised]

I can take a day!

ETA: I'll have to move up the TD/ATP memes by about a week, as per rules, but that will take care of at least one Saturday a month.

[bjornwilde]

I spotted that. So it's the third weekend of the month now, rather than the last right?

*is still missy*

[mojitoing]

Yes indeed! My plan was to move everything up a week.

Re: *is still missy*

[bjornwilde]

Golden!

Actually, just to make sure, so you will take the Saturday DE on the third weekend of the month? Or do you want the second so you have time to parse new info for the ad?

Re: *is still missy*

[mojitoing]

Yep, it'll be the third Saturday of the month; the second would be too early.
