This first post is going to be a little wordy, but it's the nature of the introduction beast...I won't write novellas every single week, I promise. I have an unusually restricted schedule until the next reset, but I wanted to get something down anyway to get the ball rolling on this whole squad business. To give a little background on me, for those who do not know (likely all of you except Brad), I have two kids under 5 years old, which is why I prefer later start times to activities and almost never play during the day. My squad will likely have one of if not THE latest average start time, if any of you are into that kind of thing. For nights where my wife isn't looking to get a Netflix show or two in before she starts her nightly workload (kindergarten teachers work so much harder than you think they do, guaranteed), I'm usually wanting to start groups around 8:30pm (all times EST), and will personally run anything until around 2am, sometimes 3am. I'll definitely not expect anyone else to run that late, but if everyone in the group wants to keep chugging along, just know I'm down for that. Eventually as this squad fills out and we start to gel and learn each other's playstyles, I would expect a window of 2 hours, more if it's on content not yet on farm status (hello, hard mode KF), but I understand not all people can run on coffee. On week nights especially for the first few weeks, I won't expect anyone to stay on longer than 11pm EST. Weekly schedules will vary based on the growing squad makeup; if there are newer members with a light around 290 or the squad wants to build up alts, then multiple normal modes per week will be scheduled...I'll accommodate whatever the squad makeup is, and want communication kept open between everyone as far as schedule desires for the upcoming week. If we are at the point where the squad is around 305 and want to go full steam ahead on hard mode all week, so be it. How I plan on writing out the schedule will be date, activity, and time I'd like the group formed with the activity starting 5-10 minutes later. If it gets formed before I get online, that's cool with me. Not looking for a military style, EVERYONE REPORT AT ZERO DARK THIRTY environment. There will also never be a week where something is scheduled on both Friday and Saturday nights. I know some of you have lives, you filthy casuals... As this squad evolves, the Friday/Saturday night slot will get figured out as to whether they are desired to be raid night or a flex/casual night (Crucible, Nightfalls, help your alts, team building kinds of activities). I'd personally like to see them be raid progression nights since everyone can usually stay up later. This week will be flex due to the short notice. To start off week 1... 10/29, Thursday: Nothing (GO PATS, SQUISH THE FISH THURSDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL WOOOOOOOO) - will be on after the game around 11:30pm EST for any activity you want to invite me for. Cannot guarantee my sobriety. 10/30, Friday: Trials of Osiris. 10pm. (no chance a group isn't running for this by 10pm, but putting it anyway) 10/31, Saturday: Halloween, go have a life. I'll be at a wedding........fail...... 11/01, Sunday: King's Fall. 8:30pm (Hard, if the light levels are right) - before and after, ToO 11/02, Monday: Trials Of Osiris, 9pm If Monday doesn't fill up, either another normal KF or flex. This will be discussed throughout the week. Thanks for reading my wall of text and thanks to Brad for this role - looking forward to progressing with you all. (Go Pats!) -Matt edit -- wow, completely forgot about Trials of Osiris starting tomorrow. edited accordingly...
