You can catch me online pretty much anytime. Once school starts back up in August I will be subbing and I also work part-time at Gamestop.

ALL RMG OD members please go post your gaming hours under the Game Scheduling thread and then post it in a reply to Member Availability so everyone will know when you are available. Do the same for the RTP OD if you are in it. This is Mandatory!

Fridays are game nights and no go's unless you want to play after midnight. Saturday and Sunday I can go all day usually.

i know its a tight schedule but I have made it work in the past and had success in long ODs.

With my schedule these times are sometimes subject to change, but I will always be active on Forums, as my Athletic Director status allows me plenty of computer time during the days
