After much thought, it's been decided that anyone who want to participate in a live chat can come along from 9-10 pm London time (GMT) on Yahoo IM, this Friday. As far as I know, most of you guys live under Eastern US time, which means 4-5 pm (though you might want to check this). This webpage gives details of the current time in all cities, so you should be able to work out what time 9-10 pm in London will be where you live.

We'll be discussing MWT, or KoA, or any random thing that happens to catch someone's fancy. Yahoo has been chosen because I have it on good authority that group chats are allowed, and do work. If this turns out to be wrong, I will personally slaughter my source, and apologise profusely to you guys. :)
Most of you guys seem to already have each other screen-names, but just in case, could anyone who thinks that there may be even the slightest possibility of their showing up on Friday, please post their s.n. in a comment. This means that everyone (or just myself, and someone else, in case I am called off the computer by some terrible emergancy such as laundry or dinner) can add everyone and keep the chat going, and see when people come online. No one has to be there for the full hour, and giving your screen-name does not oblige you to show up if you find that you can't, though of course, the more the merrier. (Plus, the more of us there are, the easier it'll be to stop some of us getting drunk on cyber wine) ;D
I know it seems a lot to go through just to decide whether we should get a chatroom or not, but I want to make sure that if we were to get a chat room more than two or three of us would use it, and also that you guys would enjoy it. It'd be pointless if you didn't, after all.
Secondly, I wanted to point out the wonderful lyrics which
ferris_girl has composed, for the anthem to Gen (a few posts back). They're fantastic, though it would be nice to have a few more entries and sets of lyrics. They can be as good or as bad as you like, and I think I'll leave the post open for a week or two before declaring
ferris_girl the unchallanged winner.
And finally, simply because I want to rant, amazon still haven't dispatched my copy of KoA. They have about 2 hours before the dispatch estimate time finishes, and they get an angry email from me. *shakes fist at amazon*
