*ATSMU – As The Spirit Moves Us. It means we really don’t have a set time for this but it will happen when it seems right. ‘Might depend on the aggregate zeitgeist, ‘might depend on the time it turns dark or pretty much anything that’s out of our control. If something isn’t happening fast enough for you, go ahead and start without us.
**OTA – Or There Abouts. Very similar to ATSMU but OTA is used when one event is dependent on the completion of another.

AGAIN - THIS IS A DRAFT SCHEDULE. IT MAY CHANGE, NO MAKE THAT IT WILL CHANGE AND I DON'T KNOW HOW AND WHEN.
