Roqwell Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 (edited) I learned about this half an hour ago... but I've been cast as Dian Black in one of my college's upcoming plays "Escape From Happiness." Our first read through is this Wednesday at 7:00PM. I could possibly hop on after because I don't think it will go on too long. I'm also fairly certain I will get the schedule too so I'll know for sure what days I will and will not be able to raid. I doubt this will be as time consuming as being a Stage Manager. Dian Black is a fairly 'medium' role. Unless the stars align and the calendar says I'll never be able to come to raid, I should be on here and there. UPDATED SCHEDULE: Jan 26/27: I'm out this week. Regardless of the schedule for the show, internet is terrible since snowmageddon dropped on my little mountain college. Whenever I log on I initially get about World: 11k ms.. afterwards it evens out to around Home: 4k ms and World: 5k ms. Then two minutes later I D/C. Took half an hour to do garrison missions. They haven't fixed it yet. I'm out this week regardless. Feb 2/3: Could get back around 9:30 PM. Feb 9: TBA Feb 10: Stumble through off-book. Likely to go on longer. Possible back around 9:30-10:00 PM. Feb 16/17: Far as I know, there are no rehearsals. I could attend raid without issue. Feb 23: Complete stumble through. Likely not to make raid. Feb 24: First half. Could get back around 9:30-10:00 PM. Mar 1: Second half. Could get back around 9:30-10:00 PM. Mar 2: TBA Mar 8/9: Spring Break. I'll be home with good internet and no obligations... at least for the first half of Spring Break. Mar 15: Second half. Could get back around 9:30-10:00 PM. Mar 16: I will be on a plane going to Salt Lake City, Utah for the theatrical convention USITT. Even if I got to my hotel and the internet was theoretically good enough for raiding, I'm going to be physically on the plane from around the time raid starts until late into the night. Fun as it would be to scream about Pikachu being a prick on a plane.. I don't think that's going to happen. Mar 22/23: Full runs. Likely not to attend raid at all. If anything, I'd be there around 10:20 PM. Mar 29/30: Opening night and second night. Likely not to attend raid at all. If anything, I'd be there around 10:20 PM. After that our theatre season is over and I'll be find to attend raids until late May/early June. I'll post about that later because for three weeks I'm going to be studying abroad in Ireland. We don't have the official dates yet and if I did raid it would be at like four in the morning.. and I'll have like three roommates.. if we're even in a room because we'll be traveling a lot by bus all over Ireland...... so..... likely going to be completely out during that period. Sorry college constantly shifts and complicates my schedule. It's a bitch to just find time to eat most days. As time goes on and I figure out about those "TBA" dates, I'll update this post further.

Roqwell Posted January 31, 2016 Author Posted January 31, 2016 Oh. Also. If I can't be on at all this coming week, this is why: "Dear Berea Community, First of all, I want to apologize for the internet outage we have seen on campus since Fri. Starting from today (sat), the network connectivity is sporadic at best, and most of time non-existent. We had dispatched staff to campus today and restarted all our equipment (without success), but I just heard from our internet provider that there is a massive fire in Lexington which took out a lot of power to the area, and damaged pretty much all the networking company fibers in the network operations center (NOC) in that area. Windstream, our provider, is also part of that NOC. They have no estimate as to when the fire will be out, power restored, and fiber repaired. The overal internet outage is impacting our email, Moodle, wireless, and all other services that require external connectivity. At this time, we can not be sure when we will be back. We will continue to hear from the provider as they progress. Our ticket is fully escalated since we have been experiencing issues for a while. I will provide you with information as we get them. Again, we are very sorry that the Berea campus is being impacted so negatively. IS&S, in consultation with the Administrative Committee, will strive to look for a longer term solution once our services are restored." Can't raid, Lexington is on fire.

Roqwell Posted February 1, 2016 Author Posted February 1, 2016 A mutual friend of ours gave Cute incorrect information involving his driving test. He won't be able to get it until February 14th (I think). And.... idk... April 8th-10th for... what?
Roqwell Posted February 1, 2016 Author Posted February 1, 2016 I don't know that I'd be able to do that even if I wanted to. School and all that jazz. I'm already missing a full week of classes to go to USITT, I can't really afford much more than that.
Roqwell Posted February 9, 2016 Author Posted February 9, 2016 Good News/Bad News. Good news: no rehearsal tonight. Someone else booked our rehearsal space. Bad news: Internet is terrible. I love raiding, I want to raid, but this internet is really pissing me off to an extent I can't properly describe. Any YouTube videos I watch have to be at the lowest quality or just above, yet still take two times their length to load. Getting on my commonly frequented websites like this one, my email, etc., take 2-3 minutes to load and there's a decent chance they just won't. The internet still randomly flickers off. The worst time to even be online, also, is at night from around 6:30-Midnight because fuck my raiding life. I haven't left my garrison in two weeks and even when by some miracle I am on (which I've only managed about three times).. it's followed by a D/C or two after 5 minutes and at best all I can do is send off followers then give-up and grab some booze from my fridge I'm not even allowed to have on campus because we're all supposedly irresponsible children who don't know the meaning of moderation and have no reason to want to drink despite having a fucked up schedule that makes us skip lunch or work overtime or stay awake until three in the fucking morning just to finish homework because we still have to go days without sleep living off coffee and trips to sob in the bathroom but be called lazy and disappointing by our own fucking professors.. .... I'm just really angry because the internet situation at my college is completely out of my control. There is literally nothing I can do but wait and hope some cunt-breathed roadkill actually fixes it. Also a little stressed but... yeah..... I'll post when the internet improves to the point I feel like I can raid. Otherwise, I'll likely D/C every single pull and with Mythic I don't want to be detrimental to progression and certainly don't want to be carried and cause the raid trouble. I just have to... wait. I am guaranteed raiding on Spring Break though. Cause then I'll be home where my brother treats the internet like his precious child.

Mastric Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 Speedtest.net & Speedtest app for android can confirm
Roqwell Posted February 11, 2016 Author Posted February 11, 2016 Also.. next week. I should be able to raid Tuesday. I don't know it seems the internet is proving but that will be the test. Wednesday I will not because my parents are coming into town.
