the chat client stopped working for me again and then wouldn't let me back in for a while.  It died just after w00t joined.  In any case, I can get back on now but you guys don't seem to be there anymore.  Any suggestions?

How do you get into the gameroom chat?  Do you need to add me as a player?

This is what keeps happening to me.  I'll type in a comment and hit return to send.  It will clear out the typing box but not post my comment into the main window.  At that point I can't send any more comments or see any new posts by anyone else.  I definately wasn't inactive, I had just typed another comment a minute or less before.  After waiting a few minutes to see if I got control again I exited out of chat and then it wouldn't let me back in.

I went a made dinner for my kids which I why it's been so long for my reply.  I don't think I'm going to be able to play if we have to do it in real time.  I just don't have enough free time in one sitting that isn't early morning for most of you (after ~9-10pm Mountian Time).  Play by post would work much better for me as I can get 5-10 minutes several times a day to post a move and then wait for the others to post.  It's slower but works better with my crazy schedule.

I sent you a PM about chat, looks like your able to get in now. (I added you to the Gameroom).

We will have to discuss PBP since there isn't a Ref. How would you do rolls? (I've never played KH PBP)

If you have some time for the Gameroom you don't have to play out an entire battle, we played last night and made three turns.

oh...and welcome! :-D

Yes, I can get in now so that works.

As for PBP, we could always just be honestInnocent about our rolls.  Or we could round-robin the role of GM for a specific battle, i.e. I ref this one, you ref the next, etc.  In fact, I'd be willing to play the referee roll in general if PBP works better for everyone.  If the players can check back often enough we could get through 3-7 rounds a week.  In the KH PBP games we've been playing as part of Shadow Shack's games things go pretty quickly when everyone posts every day.

However, if I'm not a player this issue possibly goes away since you guys seem to be able to get together often enough in the chat room.

Were all honest. Cross my heart and hope you die.
errr. I got that wrong, Undecided didn't I? Foot in mouth  LOL ;-)

Were choosing players battle by battle, so I would say if nobody is ready on the side you choose (UPF or Sathar) then there is not problem chiming in. Cool?
Now... PICK A SIDE! 

hahaha. I crack me up.
