Puzzle Regroup!

[simpathis]

Hey guys, Laena here! Piggy backing off the Areta research team, it's come to my attention that there's a bit uncertainty as to who all is actually in the puzzle group, particularly since more may have recently joined in. Since there's also been some changes to the initial working doc and I'd like to have a working dialogue with everyone, I request two things!

1. Check in. Everyone who is part of the group comment to this post. You have until end of Saturday, April 23 to do so. While others can still join in, the ones who comment will be considered the core group and will be responsible for sharing any information discussed with everyone else.
   
   
2. Plurk. Friend the mod plurk, simpathis. After the group plurk has formed and the discussions have been had, you can defriend the plurk. (For those who do not know, group plurks can only be made with those who are mutual friends. I cannot add anyone who is not friended to the plurk to the group.) IF YOU DO NOT HAVE PLURK, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. Most everything discussed will be transferred onto the document, but I will also forward any other information to you via journal PM. I will be utilizing plurk as it will be faster and easier to spark quick dialogue rather than waiting for edits or comments.

Once everyone's checked in, I will gather everyone on Sunday for discussion and give everything you need. If you could, please indicate what time you will be available on Sunday. I'll try and time the plurk so that most everyone will be available. In addition, I will provide a new working document to incorporate previously addressed concerns. Update: due to recent developments, the plurk may not happen until closer to evening, but fret not, those who are unable to attend will still be in the plurk and have info available.

Should everything go as planned, you guys will probably have the answer by the end of the day or 99.9% close to the answer. So let's go go go!

Slamming in here! I'm volunteering Alphonse at least, since while he wouldn't rally people to join a research group on his own he'd definitely do it once someone else started it. If possible I'd like to toss in Sans as a "nobody remembers informing him he just kind of turned up" sort of case, but if not then that's cool too.

I'm available all day on Sunday... but I'm in the UK :|b;; so I'll probably have to bow out by 11-12 PM BST (6-7 PM EST) at the latest. I don't mind catching up super late afterwards though! That's basically just British DWRPer Life, sob.

Where one Elric is the other will follow.

That is, if you guys need me! I know I'm a mod, so I don't want to take away from the players who want to do this. Ed can basically take a backseat to everyone, but I think he'd be there especially if Alphonse is.

Dorian's here to stand around and look pretty.

Not really though! While he is pretty, Dorian is already captivated by the city's magitech and would jump on the group immediately. I'll be available all Sunday for discussion!

Lioriley would also like to participate in this group!!

So far as I'm aware I should be around the entirety of sunday for the discussion. Anytime after noon est should be good. c:

Mu wants this puzzle SOLVED! I don't have anything scheduled for Sunday, and am usually available after Noon EST.

Shun's in! I might be out around 4PM PST foooooor maybe an hour or so but otherwise I'll be here!

[ninjainviolet]

Sheena's participating!

I'm free Sunday EDT before 4pm. After that, I'm at work until 11pm.

[nolongerasleep]

I had signed Lithia up before, but I admit whether she participates or not will likely depend on when this happens IC, so consider this tenative. I'll be around pretty much all of Sunday though.

[luxuriant]

Obviously still interested with Dhaveiras, of course! Oh and I should be here all sunday PST.

[eyeswideopen]

I'm still interested! Komaeda was last working with a map he made of the puzzle. I'll be around all sunday until 7pm -9pm EST when I have to raid. I'll be back after that.

Yes! Sherlock Holmes will be around to help solve this mystery! (and as an FYI, he's the kind of guy who will improvise by, say, bringing his own mirrors to redirect the beams of light to places they normally wouldn't reach. He's not opposed to cheating the system if he thinks it'll get him results)

Sadly, I have a very limited window of time on sunday when I can be online. I should be able to do some minimal plurking while I'm at work, but I can't type anything too extravagant on my little smartphone.

I'm still interested in the puzzle! My schedule for sunday is luckily flexible so I can be around at any time.
