Friday July 28, 2006. 17:00.
The phone rings. On the line is Aragorn.
"Are you busy tonight?"
Well I did not have anything planned specially, so I sked what the idea was.
The planned date of August 1 was a weekday, and players would be playing more in the weekend. As Gandalf had finalized scripts and all was tested, the idea was to start early and open our server on July 28, at 20:00 in the evening. That way we had all weekend to see how it would go and could watch it constantly, without me and Gandalf being busy with work should technical intervention be needed.
Sounded like a good plan. So we would meet for a small dinner and opening ceremony between ourselves at 18:00 (I lived nearby their houses at the time) and at 20:00 the password would be removed for the official opening of Argonath RPG.
