So, I'd like to see a more consistent practice time form up. As we've discussed at practice, starting at a consistent time will promote newbies joining, and also make for longer practices.
If everyone starts making themselves show up at a set time, eventually it'll become habit.

I second that. It's frustrating to show up at the gym on time and no one else is there. I'm almost afraid to invite some of the people from places like (GASP) Mittelmarch who have offered to come over and slash-and-whack with us because I can't assure them that most of us will even be there.
There'd be nothing worse than driving two and a half, three hours to go hang out with a new chapter and be greeted by.... three people.

I too would like a regular practice time, but I'm afraid I won't be there much for about the next week, and definitely not on Wednesdays until next semester. Prior commitments, unfortunately.

Alas, that seems to be everyone's problem. x__x

I like Friday nights!
But with the talk of limiting the practice schedule we started on Wednesday, perhaps Wednesdays will become the favorites. I digress.
Zaron suggested we move for Wednesday/Saturday fight days.
This is definitely possible, we simply need to keep in mind that we only have from 6-8:00 on Wednesdays.
However, Christmas break is /fast/ approaching (read: 21 days as of today == 3 weeks == 3 more practice sets before 90% of us GCers leave for a month) and, after the break, we have the opportunity to stake our claim on a new time for practice on Wednesday.
So what about revoking our reservation of the gym on Fridays in favor of moving to a W/S schedule reading as follows:
Wednesday: 6:00pm to 8:00pm Saturday: 1:00pm to 4:30pm
Then, after break, we could get into the runnings early and make a reservation for Wednesday nights for a longer period if that would be valuable for the sake of making it more accessible to the people who might need to travel aways.
My two cents.

Sounds very good. I would say that even an extra hour on Wednesday would make big difference.

Erm. Like I said, I won't be able to make it on Wednesdays, at all (I have a class from 6:00 to 9:30, and they won't be done until the week of Finals), so making Fridays go away kinda makes me sad. What's the objection to Friday practices, again?

First off I want to clarify this wouldn't start till after break. Secondly the idea behind it is that both Friday and Saturday are the weekend or do nothing days. Although it is nice to have to back to back practices so people have options, this is also the problem. People pick one day or the other, yes this was part of reason behind the original concept, unfortunately with our small numbers this results in very few people both days. The suggestion to remove one of the days is to promote the idea that everyone will show up at one practice. Saturday was kept over Friday because, well it's a Saturday what better to do than Dag This is my understanding of the reasoning, which makes sense to me. I don't mind fighting all three days, but if the elimination of Friday would help to have bigger turnouts I'm all for it, because the more the merrier.

I'm going to try to make it the 26th, but it will depend on work.
And Palakar is correct in his reasoning. When you're just starting out often times too many practices can spread you out too thin unless you have people with open schedules and lots of dedication. And remember if you don't like the days, peoples schedules tend to change quite often, especially if you're in school and your classes change every semester. And you can always add back in more practices as your numbers grow and you get more people consistantly.

I'd be good with any day of the week besides Monday. Saturdays I work at 2 more often than not. So I would be for bumping up the time on Sat if we change anything about it at all.
Unfortunately, I'm sure some dag people like to sleep in until right before the gatherings. Dunno how a noon practice would go. I'd sure hate to have people falling asleep while I try to hit them. XP

Sry Sio but the prob with noon is as you already pointed out no one is really up yet on a saturday and also the rot is only open from 12-1, so if they aren't sleeping at noon they're probably going to be eating their breakfast
