Lectra posted this on the facebook page but since not everyone's on there and she was going to do it on here sometime eventually and I've got a few minutes, thought I'd get the ball rolling on here.
What works for people?
My input: my work schedule changes, but school doesn't. I'm available before 2-2:30pm on Mondays and Wednesdays, after 5pm on Mondays, after 4pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays and Friday afternoons. Again, varies with work. Wednesday nights I have class so that's out for me at least. But don't worry about me, just go with what works best for everyone else.
So what works for others? People still interested in this?

I think Thursday was the decided day. A time and location wasn't finalized.

Cool, well my Wednesday nights may have just opened up. Hoping to switch some things around on my schedule. Just keep me updated. Still don't see why we couldn't just have it at Aldeen still. Yeah, Thursdays work as long as I don't have to work....and it's after 3:15pm. That's my last class.

why not go to other peoples practices instead of fighting eachother all the time? like i know that gas sucks but its the only way your realm and you as a fighter are going to get better...and getting your name out there isnt a bad thing when it comes to voting... hint hint... iv been up to khador for the past 2 full seasons regularly, and iv been coming up to your practice and plenty of others on and off for the past 5 years and i can honestly say that i cant remember any of you, other than kracken and brooder and the jesters, being out of khador more than once unless it was an event or a mini. get four people in a car... have each pay 5 bucks and it gets you there and back as if nothing happened to your tank. yall are being voted on and may get speaking rights.... its time to start stepping up as a realm to get your name cleaned up and to get it out there. and beornve doesnt count as getting out there lol. you need to hit some big name realms like rhun, dunharrow, or mux at least once or twice a season with some of your better fighters. not meaning to be mean but iv been around yall long enough to be able to tell you that you need to start stepping up and learning what other realms are like and what we see as far as you.

Agreed 100 percent, except everyone should go raid a practice, not just our better fighters. Also, I encourage everyone to raid a practice during the wintertime. Rhun and Mux both have excellent indoor practices. Also also, if you really want your name to get out there, just sparing with people of different realms who are veterans will help. This anit the prom guys, it's okay to ask anyone for 10 rounds.

would totally raid others but with money as tight as it is getting to practice in town is not only hard on me gas wise but time i could be spending working. not saying i wouldn't love to give bel 110% of my effort to be better its just not probable with current situations. and im probably not the only person with this problem.

I'm always up for raiding other practices. We kind of suck at organizing such things, though.

get all your numbers up on here and talk about how you can get shit done. effort and organization. if someone cant go then to bad. they go next time.
also bluness. i no how it is but let me tell you now that if this is something you truly enjoy doing then you need to make at least one day to yourself and what you like to do. all work and no play made jack a rich, depressed loner that had no skills other than what he learned at work and now pays whores to go have dinner with him so he doesnt feel lonely since he lost all connection with his friends and family... dont be jack lol

They decided on Thursdays 1pm (?) start time at Church Hill Park. Not sure I'll make it out this week after all. STILL don't have internet at my place. Now there's literally nothing I can do until they get more modems in. And I have yet another online quiz due that day. Probably have to go take that during when my last class normally is...meaning probably missing practice cause I won't be leaving campus until the normal time. Also still depends on this cold too. Hope to make it though.

Kara if your gonna be a GRAMMAR NAZI make sure A) your not doing it to someone who enjoys trolling on game chat sites and B) dont fucking suck at it yourself.
You only said it cuz you wanted to look cool and because your pissed off that i told you the truth. my point still stands that everyone in khador needs progress their own realm now that ur joining the bele community.

Kara, want to join Hydra? Act like one please. my point still stands that everyone in khador needs progress their own realm now that ur joining the bele community. Back to this ^ now. The closest realm is Rhun in Madison. Although the numbers are smaller, the fighting quality is much higher. Thursday practices are 6-10 at the Stock Provilian on UW campus. They usually go out and eat afterwards. Sunday practices are kind of flaky, most people end up playing disk golf that day. I highly encourage you guys to come visit sometime soon. It'll be fun and a learning experience. It is about 140 miles there and back, and if you split gas between four people, that is only 35 miles worth of gas you'd have to buy.

I would never be jack but as of right now i have sundays off every week the problem with that is sometimes im too tired/lazy to go anywhere cause thats usually the day i get off every week and that i have court problems to deal with (finishing next week fuck yeah!) Other than that til ash gets out of school i have to keep as much money coming in as i can. When i can though I will be fighting as much as i can wherever i can. This isnt something im just gonna hobby this is probably something that will consume a good portion of my life (i have a feeling imma regret saying that).

Dunharrow is a lot closer than Rhun.

Other then Q and Jackie (and they are both Dunharrow now) I don't think I've ever seen any of your fighters at an other practice before.
If you want to be part of a community you have to socialize with that said community
Wednesday Dekalb practice is about 40 miles from Aldeen. Tuesday Elgin practice is 46 miles from Aldeen, plus tolls You have Rhun which is just highway going north for you.
And I know the season is ending but there are still winter indoor practices.
Brooder mentioned Rhun and I know HD runs one in Dekalb.
*edit* And all those practices generally have a higher quality of fighters then yours too.

Apologies to Skittles. When I read the quote paragraph yesterday I didn't notice the punctuation so therefore it seemed like a 5 lined run on paragraph.
Brooder, takes Skittles' advice and look in the mirror before calling out others.
Waffles, good point.
I'M SORRY EVERYONE.
Anywho, going back to the suggestion of visiting other realms' practices. We...me and someone...actually talked about doing this like once a month a few months ago. Whoever the other person I was talking to about it with actually thought of the once a month thing and then, as most ideas in Khador seem to do, it died. Maybe this is something we should put on a list or something to do for next year...since these year is getting close to ending and people are busy with work, school, etc.
Blu does also have a point though, a lot of are busy with other things and then there's the people who don't do anything besides our practices. And...(pointing out)...everyone seems to come visit us...so why do we need to go visit them? (Not my stance on the topic, just a thought that others may have and something to point out.) Saturdays don't work for a lot of people, Sundays are our practices, and yeah, week days are busy as hell for most, but if anyone would like to maybe try this yet this season, well, let's get the ball rolling.

Next season would be a better start for me i think wren. Ash will be out of school and I (hopefully) won't be the sole breadwinner of the house. When that comes I should have time (and cash) to spare to kick my ass into overdrive.

I was in the Elgin area yesterday...almost stopped at Dunharrow practice as doing much better physically. Decided against it.

Then why post anything? What purpose does it serve? Why is it that some people in this sport think it is a good idea to pick on others? Stop bullying please!
