January's good for me. We've usually slowed down at work then unless there's
a snow outage.

If it is in January, there's a chance I could be a little more active than
in in the past few wars.

January would be good for me, too. By then, I'm not slammed with Christmas
projects, and I've finished making the girls' winter wardrobes. I have a
lot of stuff to make the next few months, clothes and toys being on the
short list. (The pangolin toy should be... interesting.)

I'm good for anytime. Jan or Feb would be a bit easier for me since it will
be past out peak season at work, but I'm good for anytime.
I'll still be posting late at night since I work second shift.

January works for me. I have a week of vacation time I have to take
in January or lose it. The sooner we decide on the War timing, the
easier it will be for me to schedule the PTO.
Now I'm picturing trying to explain to my boss why I want the time in
January. I've already had the NaNoWriMo discussion with him about
the November time I'm requesting ... :D

On Mon, 1 Oct 2012, I said:

It occurs to me that we may possibly avoid this if, instead of just saying
vaguely "bring it up in the New Year", we instead take the time *now* to set
a *date*. An actual firm DATE.
If we do, then we'll all have that date fixed in our minds.
That very certainty should, I hope, carry through NaNoWriMo (for those doing
it), and Thanksgiving (for Americans), and Christmas (for most of us). It
will be a promise of fun in the cold, dark, snowy holiday-less days in the
early New Year.
I mean, it's easy after all the end-of-year busy-ness to forget to bring up
mere *talk* of war. It should be harder to forget that on a specific date,
you've got to arrive in Toronto with the rest of your faction!

Subject: War: Admin -- January it is, now date
Most people seem to like January (so far no objections), so January it is.
Greer, I can promise this time it won't be forgotten or dropped, not with a
definite date. Now, when shall we start?
I suggest Jan. 13th, a Saturday, for the start, and midnight in the WM's
time zone on Jan. 21st, a Sunday, for the end.
I think this time I will consider requests for extensions, but only after a
list discussion on Forkni-l.

Lisa, I know that you mentioned an option to extend the war, but just a
note on these dates. I have never participated in a War and probably
never will, but noticed that most people prefer 2 weeks. The suggested
dates only allow for 9 days. Comments?

As we can see from this snippet, we're going to have to remind people how
to post to the list without the =20s showing up when the war starts. Plain
text only, folks! And you have to verify your email is set to that option
every single time you post!
