I would just like to point out that my response is more along the lines of "It sounds cool and I'll try to be there, barring grievous bodily injury or an episode of SPN airing where Dean and Sam kiss passionately."

ACTUALLY. I have something more constructive to say. I'm not sure what you meant by party commingling... Do you mean between parties that are going on at the same time, or do you mean that someone could technically go to multiple parties on different weekends, etc.?

Uhh, other than that, I should be around most summer weekends, but it's hard to know whether or not plans are going to come up. 8D;; So I just put down a bunch and I'll try to make sure I'm around when needed. (It's good to have warning, though!)

Ahh. I meant people attending multiple parties being held at the same time. XD I don't think I have the stamina or the organizational skills to pull any of this off for multiple weekends, you know?

So, what, would a better one for you have been 'an episode of Heroes where Nathan and Peter kiss passionately'? 8D

But yeah, I understand~

Oh, hmm. That might cause crowding, and it lead to more confusion, so maybe it shouldn't be allowed? XD;; I know that I'm probably just going to stick in one place so I don't end up all head-explodey.

.... MAYBE. How did you know that.

Thanks for setting this up, bb. 8D Hope it all works out well!

I wasn't originally wanting to allow it, but then that means friends might not get to hang out in the same parties, you know? I mean, we wouldn't even be in the same party, except that I'll probably be in all 4362274 chats as the general overseer. XD I mean, I want this party to get people who might not normally hang out together to get to know each other and hang out, but I don't want to stop people hanging out with their normal crowd, either...plus the popular vote is strongly for allowing it, so I dunno. I think we might limit it to one character per party, at least?

I'M A MAGICAL LIOPLEURODON CHARLIE

Yeah~ <3 Maybe it'll become a regular thing once I've introduced it! Although I probably won't be the person organizing it again, because damn XD

I'm actually working Friday morning/all day Saturday, so I won't be there for a large chunk of the party. HOWEVER, I will try to make it for a few hours. :3 But that's about it. I can't stay up too late on Friday, since I'm working, SO YEAH. I, UM. REMEMBER WHEN I SAID I'D VOLUNTEER TO HELP STUFF? I...likely won't be able to be very deeply involved since I won't be there for a lot of it, hahah, SORRY. ;__;

No worries :D We'd probably start the party later on in the day for everyone's timezones - around 6 PM is the standard, precisely so people can get all their stuff for the day done first so they can focus on the party in the evening. So if it's on a Friday, you could totally come~ On a Saturday, not so much, but depending on how late you work you still might not miss much. <3

I would like to say that my "depends" is simply because of my objection to Sam/Dean kissing. D: THOUGH I SUPPOSE I'D STILL BE BUSY, JUST CRYING INSTEAD OF REJOICING.

But in all seriousness, I picked that because... well, I suck at time management. D8 But hopefully I'd be able to attend? And thanks for setting this all up! :D

And uhm since I only have Cid, I pick... THAT OPTION though I guess I'd have Sylar too then huh

why am I rambling LALALALA

I've voted for the weekends where I'm not working because they're the only times when I'll have a decent amount of time to attend the parties since when I'm working I need to, y'know, sleep *curses the weak body's need for rest* and the one weekend when I'm at Squeefest (because I've already paid and it is my fangirl time with friends ^^ ) But yes, barring stuff like work or grevious bodily harm and the like, I shall be there >[

YOU KNOW I CAN HELP BB~ The only thing that'd stop me are any Scientology protests, though at this point I'm the uninterested party who is getting dragged along by friends, so... yeah.

GOD WHAT DON'T TEMPT ME LIKE THAT I WAS GOING TO DO IT TOO. 8|

Like the poll says, I'm not attending the party on the last week of June or first week of July since I'll be in Chicago, but I should be fine any other time. 8D

ARGH, I'M RETARDED!!! DX Sorry, I started to put my comment into the volunteering box for some reason. D'oh! Just ignore that, please.

Anyway, I was starting to say that I think chats should just be limited to a certain number of characters, so that things don't get too crazy and you have no idea who you're replying to and the whole internet just explodes. BANG!

My votes are self-explanatory, but I voted for "It depends" on the first option only because weekends are hard for me and there's a lot going on right now in my life. So, much as I'd love to, it really depends.

RE: IRC, I can see about setting up a server and web client if people decide that's what they want. (The web client's really easy; all you'd need to do is enter a username in and then boom!)

Didn't actually vote, mainly because I have no idea when I'm going to have time, or if I'm going to have time. Weekends IRL are going to get really busy for me at the end of May and continue through the summer. SO YES! Would like to be able to attend one, but no idea if I'll be able to.

I voted for weekends I have summer holidays, though I still have to work on Saturdays >>; So yeah, it might be a little difficult. Voted for the second option though, since I'm definitely going to try!
