I completely understand, Kyra, and as a participant I also want there to be activity! :DIt's much more fun that way!

You don't have to apologize about the erratic times. I wanted to suggest PMs when dates/times are finalized just to make sure we're all aware. Hopefully it will make it easier for everyone, not just me.

Maybe utilizing polls for dates/times would be useful, too? To try and select dates/times that the majority of players can be available at? Some kind of announcement format might help, as well. Below I've outlined an idea.

LIVE INTERVIEWS WITH CAESAR FLICKERMAN
Event Type? Live Group Chat
When? FRIDAY, OCTOBER 25, 2013 8:00 PM CENTRAL
How? SKYPE (please add "awesomecaesarman")
Summary: The Tributes' finale attempt to drum up interest from sponsors occurs during this live televised interview with game host and celebrity Caesar Flickerman. Caesar interviews each Tribute from each district, giving the audience and sponsors an opportunity to get to know the stars of this year's Hunger Games prior to their performance in the Arena. Interviews focus on personality and history, not combat or survival performance, but Caesar does his best to ask the questions that make each Tribute shine.

CORNUCOPIA RUSH
Event Type? Time-sensitive PM gameplay choices
When? SUNDAY, OCTOBER 29, 2013 10:00 AM CENTRAL
How? Forums (message actions to "Sailor Uranus" via PM; read thread [link] for instructions)
Summary: Tributes get their first glimpse of the Arena--and their first glimpse of the bounty placed into the Arena by the Gamemakers. The Cornucopia is a central location of the Arena, surrounded by packs containing survival supplies and weapons. The closer to the central point, the better the supplies and weapons are. Tributes must balance between increasing their odds of survival by avoiding immediate conflict with other Tributes and acquiring the weapons and tools they'll need to stay alive.

It might also be useful to have a few links for people to familiarize themselves with the Hunger Games concept if they're unfamiliar with it.

And I'm totally up for CLUE.

Just for clarification, SenshiRei, Sailor Uranus is suggesting we only pause the game for another two months (December) when the fall semester (in the United States) ends.

I'm fine with either option.

CLUE  


I am all for waiting until December, though I worry that all of the holidays in that month might make us have the same problem as now xD
