The point of this thread is very simple. All you have to do is post when you're on during the week! What this will allow @Karp Karpity and @Whereabouts Unknown, the runners of Weekly Game Night, to do is create Game Nights that suit our active times in the best way possible. Click the hyperlink above to check out that thread and the hyperlink below to check out a visual version of the listed times. So, go ahead and post your information like I will below and I'll just toss everything into the OP. Please put your times in GMT.

From the other thread: Also adding that, within those times, my favorite time to play is around 23:00~0:00.
I don't think I'll add a Holiday section unless necessary since lbr, we'll be floating around here all hours of the day anyway (unless we got plans... like me being on The Voice if I make it), but I'll go ahead and update it. Request for a sticky? :o
From 11th March (my exams will be 1 month long), Approx 00:00 GMT to 08:00 GMT full week (Mostly on android)... I can't play before that date...
Well typically I am free before and after dinner so i guess that the best moments are 17:00 to 18:00 and 21:00 to 23:00 GMT hour.
Fiddled around with GoogleDocs a bit and I think what I'll go with is putting everyone's names in the first row, the 24 hours across the top, and then highlight the hours that we are online. I'll get that up after a few more post here.
Wed 20:00-23:00 Thurs 22:00-23:59 Fri 0:00-01:00, 4:00-7:00, 20:00-23:00 Sat 3:00-7:00, 20:00-23:59 Sun 0:00-7:00, 20:00-23:00 My Fridays and Saturdays are pretty fluid, so I may or may not be on all the times I listed. The Wednesday and Thursday slots are the times I'll be most consistently free.
Well my times are: Mon 12pm-4pm, 7pm-1am Tues 3pm-1am Wed 5pm-1am Thur 4pm-1am Fri 12pm-3pm, 7pm-1am Sat 11am-2am Sun 11am-1am These are just times where I am most likely to be able to make free, i.e. nothing scheduled. oh and thanks for making this i guess and yes, it's GMT
Just checking, that's GMT right Ascarotte? EDIT: Gonna work on that now Kirby, was just thinking about that. EDIT2: So here's the spreadsheets I put together! Across the top is times broken off by every hour, the side is our names, and the colored bars indicate when we're online. If you guys would prefer a single color (would probably be black) over the current color scheme (green/yellow/orange), please let me know. I'll add these to the OP too. Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday
Added. As it stands right now, 0:00-0:59 seems like one of the most active times, so the first Game Night will probably start within that time at this rate.
Couldn't you have a single file and use the sheets (tabs) function at the bottom for each different day? And yes, less colors please. Different colors make it look as if they have different meanings. Smaller colums would also be helpful (even on my 1920px screen I can't see everything without scrolling).
Well I usually as joey phrased it "float around all hours" so at very least unless something odd happens- Friday-Wednesday GMT 18:30-20:30 Thursday GMT 18:30-Friday GMT 02:00
So na Voadora Prevision Times GMT: Brasilia -3:00 Monday-Friday: 8:30 to 11:30 and 13:00 to 16:00 Saturday-Sunday: Opcional
Believe it or not, I used to play mafia before it died. Moday-Thursday 5pm GMT - 10:30pm GMT Friday 5pm GMT - 3am GMT Saturday 12pm GMT- 3am GMT Sunday 12pm GMT - 10:30 GMT Please note, I do not stay up till 3am always on friday/saturday, and I do not guaranteed get up at 12pm Saturday/Sunday, so those times are a bit iffy. Sometimes I will play outside my Friday/Saturday times due to not sleeping, so I might show up unnanounced for a game here or there. I recently started to use the name Stray Fox, the Suigetsu Hozuki one wouldn't be able to play maf anyway.
Looking over the spreadsheets so far, the most active time is between 22:00 and 2:59 GMT (5PM Eastern, 1PM Pacific for the start). Right now, what I'm thinking of doing is getting it so that it's advertised to come around the channel, especially during those 5 hours. It'd kinda be set up like a TV show that airs daily that's new and doesn't suck like the news, kind of along the lines of React To That during its 2-week stint on Nickelodeon. Tell me what you guys think, help me out with wording, and thank you guys for helping with this. :)
Friday- 5-7:45 Saturday- 4-6:45 Sunday- 2-5:45 Other days are invalid since school All times are gmt-9 (Alaska time) Those are now my updated times, and @Joeypals!! they're PM
A few aesthetic suggestions for the visual list: The columns could be thinner. Instead of having the entire time frame listed in the header of each column, the hour would suffice to explain what time slot we're talking about. I.e., "23:00" instead of "23:00-23:59". Or just "23" would be ideal. Since the columns don't require any width, the smaller they are the better it is for looking at activity patterns over the whole week. Green-yellow-orange do not contrast very well in a three color system. It would probably be easier to follow with only two colors. Part of the problem is that yellow is an intermediate between green and orange and it's easy to get disoriented when scrolling through them. If you want to keep 3 colors, RGB is probably the way to go. It also might be helpful to show what color a name is associated with in a column to the left of the name. For instance, Traceoflife is associated with green on the chart currently, but we don't see his activity until 5:00 GMT, which means it could be confused with Jethalal who has yellow starting at the same time slot. They could be very easily confused. It could be cleared up by putting a blot of green next to ToL and yellow next to Jethalal. It's not such a big problem now, but with more names and longer periods of inactivity, it will become a headache. Imagine if someone doesn't have activity until 20:00 on a day for instance - can your eyes follow a row across 20 blank columns to match someone to their time slot? Thank you for taking the initiative and organizing this by the way. I think it will be quite helpful in reviving mafia.
Since I edited a previous post at the same time you replied, I'm quoting it again to add more to what WU said: Another thing that would help a lot is to use the View > Freeze Row/Column options so the first row (the one with the times) and the first column (the one with the names) will always be visible regardless of how much you scroll.
OK, so I think I did everything I could for convenience with the spreadsheet. Now, @Karp Karpity, I need to know if that's AM or PM. @Yentero, still need to know if those times are GMT or GMT -3 so that I can add you correctly.
I wasn't sure what to put for Saturday/Sunday for you since you plopped down "optional", but you are now added. EDIT: Check out this thread by @Karp Karpity and @Whereabouts Unknown! In that thread, Game Nights will be organized using the times listed here, so keep tabs on that!
0:00 - 3:00 Monday + Rare Sundays 0:00 - 1:00 Tuesday + Sunday (Sunday about once per month 0:00 - 3:00) 0:00 - 2:00/3:00 Wednesday 0:00 - 2:00 Thursday Weekends (Friday + Saturday) - If any time, 2:00 - 3:00
Does whenever I can get on count as a valid time? All times below are approximate and in the GMT-5 GMT-4 (Daylight Savings Time is a thing) time zone. Weekdays: 18:00~21:00, assuming my homework is done. Friday: 16:00~21:00 Saturday: Whenever I get up (10:00 ish) - 17:00, sometimes 20:00~22:00 Sunday: 13:00~22:00
May I have a time estimation so I can add the info correctly please? 21:00-whenever isn't a timeslot lol.
