The Inexistent - The end... TALK - is not so near when I am here... It was discussed yesterday at the Roundtable that Saturday may not be the most advantagous day to have Roundtables. It was suggested that it was moved to Friday or Sunday. Since this is an entire community decision, we didn't want to limit it to the opinions of the editors present yesterday. Please discuss below what day (Friday, Saturday, or Sunday) would be best to host the Roundtables.

Erry - Wretched SeeD TALK - -CESONIV SOCEW CESUL SOHTIF- + -FITHOS LUSEC WECOS VINOSEC- ~ 20:26, 8 August 2011 (UTC) I still stand by Friday.

Keyblade0 - ...And here you go, a cool keyblade. TALK - You can't see my face, because Nomura didn't bother to create it yet. — 20:31, 8 August 2011 (UTC) I'm fine with any of the 3 days (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday), but I'm going to lean closer to Friday and Sunday.

KrytenKoro - "Hurricane beats all housing or apartments. This sucker is a Cat-6!" TALK - I don't think Friday is a good idea, because many people have school or work. We originally chose Saturday evenings to best compromise between our Jewish and Christian editors, but the people showing up on Saturday don't seem to be super-Sunday Christians, and the time we have is too late in the evening for a lot of people, yet still a bit early for some of our Jewish editors to attend, as far as I can tell. I know Erry has school on Sunday, but honestly, we're getting really terrible attendance at these things. Unless we can all be available for sometime during the week (and that would have to be two hours later than we meet now), I think Sunday but a few hours earlier than we meet now would be the best bet. The other option is to figure out who is actually needed at these roundtables. Ideally, we would have nearly the whole community in attendance, but that doesn't seem possible. We definitely need as many staff as possible in attendance, since most of the decisions made at the roundtables can only be implemented by them. Can the staff who have yet to fill out their hours on the staff page, please do so?

Erry - Wretched SeeD TALK - -CESONIV SOCEW CESUL SOHTIF- + -FITHOS LUSEC WECOS VINOSEC- ~ 00:49, 9 August 2011 (UTC) Kryten, I'm pretty sure that work/school doesn't last until 9pm on a Friday.

Actually, in the US, work usually runs past 4:00pm, which would be nine for Central and 11:00 for Pacific. School (at least mine) gets out at 2:30, meaning that I get home at 3:00, which, in central time, is 8:00pm UTC, so I'd be fine. But people in mountain time and Pacific time wouldn't be so fortunate. KRCCFNF is tired of being STEPPED ON. 01:06, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

LapisScarab - You accept darkness, yet choose to live in the light. So why is it that you loathe us who teeter on the edge of nothing? We who were turned away by both light and dark - never given a choice? TALK - That may be... however, what other choice might we have had? As I said at the Roundtable, I'm fine with any day, though I lean slightly toward Sunday, since by then my family is usually done doing things for the week. Attendance issues on my part have little to do with the actual day and time, and more with my parents springing things on me.

LegoAlchemist - They changed "Snipe Magnet" to "Magnet Grab"? Who's translating this game, 4kids? TALK - Friendships are in direct contravention of mercenary conduct as delineated in your contracts, and on a personal note: I am very, very, disappointed with you. If you ask me, I think lack of attendance at the Roundtables is because people don't know that they're being held. I propose a big sitenotice -- a BIG sitenotice -- that lets people know when the next roundtable is. And when the date to hold the roundtable draws near, it can be in like flashing text: THE ROUNDTABLE ON THE IRC IS TOMORROW SHOW UP PLZ. The reason I didn't attend the last few is simply because I forgot about them. (plus that, my schedule the past few weeks has been PACKED, I've had rarely any time for the wiki/IRC) Even if I'm wrong about people not knowing about Roundtables, I'll still push for the big flashing sitenotice.
