i should clarify a little more why i'd favor doing this now too - at the beginning of march all my midterms are done, which makes it a great time for an event which sollux is heavily involved in even if he's out of direct action for a lot of it. if it comes in april, though, that's round 2 of my midterms, which means i won't be around as much as i should. i'm assuming a lot of this is the same for other college kids too.

BLUH BLUH POST OF A THOUSAND EDITS BUT - the thing about the dead space event is that it's not player driven and doesn't need specific players to be in the thick of it. if the sshock event is put off till april or may, though, that's midterms and finals respectively, which means a lot of essential personnel won't be around as much as they should...
