Concern

[Manic Velocity]

At the risk of sounding like an angry asshole... It's really fucking pathetic that we're going to have to get Morpheus' Legacy to stand-in for all of us and have them wearing our uniform just so we can get this film done.  I understand if you've recently bore an heir, or have occupational duties, but where the fuck is everybody else?  We've had seven people at most all week online to film.

Where are the people who could clean out Mara C against 2:1 odds?

Where are the people who set the gold standard of MxO filmmaking?

Where are the Furious Angels?

Remember how long it took to film Angels of Vengeance?  Three months.  We have less than a quarter of that time to finish this film.  

We all know the game is shutting down on the 31st, and we all know the game was dead long before that.  This is our last chance to make our mark with a film of the quality that only we are known for.  This is how MxO should be remembered.

We need at least 13 people jacked in to film two or three scenes.  If everyone puts the effort in and does their part, it shouldn't take more than two hours.

It is a bit short notice to expect everyone to be able to clear up their schedule in 24 hours, but we've been trying to get people on for filming for at least the past two weeks, and made several attempts to get a lot of people on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

I know we all have shit to do - I worked all weekend, a double today and yesterday. Tonight I showed my apartment to potential new roommates, and I still have to deal with my car stuff and taxes. Still, at the end of the day, just suck it up and stay up late and log on for one day. That's all it takes. Surely all of you aren't busy until 1 a.m. every single day (maybe some of you are depending on your work schedule or if you live in the UK), but you get my meaning.

I think I was just hoping this would be more of a source of pride for you guys. I started Furious Angels and the backstory for us in the Matrix Online over 5 years ago. This is a huge step to officially end our story in the Matrix, where we started. I was hoping everyone would want to be a part of that and go out with a bang.

Hopefully we can still get this together, but time is ticking...

Honestly I speak for Arch and I mostly when I say that real life has had far greater priority recently.  Arch mostly with the costume making / working fucking retarded hours to try and get more money, and myself with my already full time work schedule + new girlfriend + getting all my shit together for FIU this fall neither of us have had much gaming time at all.  If anything we have like an hour or less to game or even just cruise through the forums before going to sleep, or having to do something IRL.  I'm sure others may have their reasons, but you can't get pissy because people can't help...it's a different story if people say they're going to help, then just fall off the face of the earth.

Give me a time more than a day in the future and ill make it. Otherwise my nights are shot with (A)sleeping for work the next day or (B) living life.

Schedule something for sure and ill be there. Oh, except next weekend - Friday were leaving on a roadtrip for a wedding on sat and I won't be home till sunday night, when I will goto sleep (see 'A')

[Fuse]

Another note...we've mentioned a movie a long while ago. If we started earlier wed have more time. We started later, this is just what happens.

Well FAT is an issue for me - I'll have to be awake at around 3am GMT to film (assuming you always start at 9ish FAT). I'll be able to do a 6/7pm FAT filming session. Sorry I haven't been able to log in, but staying up 'til 3 then going to work is a bit of a shitter.

[NoCry]

I have been on every night (my time and am ready to help out - even if just farming!! - tell me what is needed and I will get it).

Can I suggest that if any FA members who are available but do not have an account contact me?

I will happily share my account details so at least there is a real FA in there too.

Regarding timings, set a time and I will do my best to be there.

Ana; togi and Phi have recently had kids and Bel also has a young'un; they are the priority and a wife/ partner is not going to feel all warm and supported if the fathers are too busy playing a game.

[Larnor]

I'd like to help, but I've never played MO and now can't get trial or even register account because it's closing. (Or better to say I couldn't find any way to get trial or buy game).

[Pirus]

Just gonna add Tecknik to the list of those who have been there he has been there quite a bit that I have seen he is in several scenes of the movie he seems to be freeing up as much time as possible in helping with the movie so I would definately like to commend him on being there as well.  As for Me.  I work from 5:30 am until 4:00 pm and then i have school at 5:00 pm until 10 PM.  After all that I still try to get on for a bit during the week.  The weekeds are filled with house shopping and just being with my fiance who only gets to see me on the weekend.  But on friday-sunday at night im always on.  If I can do it then I would say most of the faction could (not all others also have kids to attend to in the PM).

I appreciate that, Pirus.  But I think Ana's post was referring to people who should have been on last night.

I was there for the later part of last night.  But it was after Ana's post.

Yeah, my post was more of a "Hey, this is a list of people who are not here right at this moment, but have been on sort of recently (within the last two weeks) and have active MXO accounts". I left our UKer's off the list because I completely understand them not being able to be there.

I apologize to Phienyx. I did forget that he just had had a child, too. As for bellthazor, I apologize as well. I cannot claim to know what any schedule would be like if I had a baby drooling in front of me all day.

It's just frustrating seeing this movie so close to completion and then not being able to do it because we can't coordinate well enough to get people on for two hours to complete the majority of the filming.

I'm sorry if anyone feels like I singled them out.

[Fuse]

I wish I'd been singled out. I'm an attention whore.

[Adad]

OK, when's our next attempt at this.  I'm free after 10FAT tonight/tomorrow then ALLLLLLLL day everyday after that until Sunday.  I apologize for not being there last night or sat night.  I was on all saturday until I was needed, so I am sorry and I know I'm not alone.  I had a lot planned this weekend but I'm virtually free now.

I know it's been beaten over the head here, but we need this.  It's going to be the epic ending we deserve.

To put it in context tho, I edited the first scene in a week and that was the easy scene.  I have a week and a half left (far less if you count how long it takes me to get the shots from Broin due to data transfer time).  

WE NEED THESE SHOTS ASAP.  Please, like TBone said, put aside time for just one night.  ONE NIGHT for FA.  That's all we ask.

[Fuse]

I can offer my account for you guys if I'm not on, or over this weekend while I'm away. For my info, email me at Fuse@followtheangel.org and it will goto my cell phone and I can reply regardless if I'm near a comp or not.
