I should be able to make this, though I might be a tad late...
If I am... Schep87 (if he'll be on by 9) will run party 1 in my absence, if I come on and the party is full I will join or start party 2.
Schep, if party 1 is full and no other dep's are on please designate someone party leader 2 until I'm on.
Good luck, have fun with this!
