Me, Me, Me!!! I feel honored that you take after my settings ^^, altho I was intrested in a quad speed game, since it's holidays, but maybe I'll set that up another time.

[zjoere]

Have my last exam on friday so sign me up please.

[Ace Rimmer]

The Empire of the Perpetually 2nd will be attending the galactic 'conference'.

[Jordy...]

The perpetually loser will propose an alliance on his fromer bully.

[DTNC Vicious]

THe last game, i had a really busy week and wasnt able to finish it, im going to be free now, so im IN

[elexis]

The SAAAK Remanent is willing to participate. (Republic of SAAAK just doesn't suit after last game.)

[bert_the_turtle]

I guess I'll set up the game Friday morning so we can start right after zjoere's exam. Maybe get the tick back to around 9 PM UTC/GMT?

[elexis]

is that time issue with the tick increasing by 10min still an issue?

[bert_the_turtle]

Nope, that has been fixed. It now goes from "10 m" to "imminent" to, in our case, "1d 23h 50m".

[Jordy...]

I'm so going to win this one!

[Montyphy]

Interested.

[Cooper42]

Yeah, go on. Nothing like a good bit of masochistic determination... I'll win one of these days...
