The Grand Tweet II: Finished - Ixcaliber - 06-24-2012
The Impatient wanted to run a battle, but he had a terrible attention span. Suddenly an epiphany; enforce a time limit! 7 hours would be OK.
It's a grand battle but each post must be less than 140 characters, also each round will last an hour.
Aside from that you know how grand battles work. It's like that. No reserves though because seriously.
Here's a profile, each section must be no more than 140 characters long. Don't sign up if you aren't going to be available for the next few hours. Dependant on signups this will either be starting in say fifty minutes time or an hour and fifty minutes.

RE: The Grand Tweet II - Ixcaliber - 06-24-2012
Okay so some people are having trouble being here for this so the deal is we cut it in half. Four hours tonight (in approx forty minutes time) and then three hours tomorrow starting from the same time we started tonight.
Come on people!
RE: The Grand Tweet II - Lankie - 06-24-2012
That would probably be for the best. I would like to sleep eventually.
RE: The Grand Tweet II - Ixcaliber - 06-24-2012
FIVE MINUTES. WOFFS WHERE IS THAT PROFILE. AT THE MOMENT YOU ARE GOING TO PLAY AS WILLOW SMITH.
ALSO TWO OTHER PEOPLE WOULD BE NICE.
WHOOPS FOUR MINUTES NOW. I WAS PRETTY SURE WE'D MEET THIS DEADLINE.
RE: The Grand Tweet II - Ixcaliber - 06-24-2012
okay quick straw poll who supports we go ahead with this as is?
who supports that we hold off till unspecified point in the future (tomorrow night or maybe next weekend) to give people time to notice this and then be here?
RE: The Grand Tweet II - Jacquerel - 06-24-2012
I'm pretty generally free so honestly I don't mind whether we wait or not, most days are convenient (except Wednesday)
RE: The Grand Tweet II - btp - 06-24-2012
I, as an non-participant, say go on with it! let it garner support when people see how fun it is, and get excited for Grand Tweet III.
RE: The Grand Tweet II - Lankie - 06-24-2012
I'm fine with waiting a day
RE: The Grand Tweet II - Ixcaliber - 06-24-2012
okay everyone seems to be pretty fine with waiting till tomorrow, so this gives woffs just under 24 hours to write a profile and me the same length of time to find another couple of people who want to participate.
i am excited about this i want it to be awesome.

On times, keep us updooted, I'll be away Tuesday to Thursday afternoon >_< (which is Thursday morning to you, non)
RE: The Grand Tweet II - Ixcaliber - 06-24-2012
Okay tomorrow and then tuesday (9PM GMT 25th June (10PM BST)) there will be the Grand Tweet II. If you can't make this time then I am sorry. It is really not possible to do this to please everyone and someone in the future could maybe do something at a time that better suits you who knows?
We have six (Solaris, Lankie, Jacq, Fogel, Times, Agent) with a potential seventh because Cyber is interested. If we can't find an eighth i will improvise.

looking forward to this. The grand Tweet was the only grand battle I read (because I am a terrible human being)

Boyd that is wonderful.
It is almost go time; hang on to your hats.
Unless Woffs decides otherwise in the next eight minutes she is Willow Smith.

Suddenly they were in a haunted mansion with ghosts and other scary monsters.
