How many more sessions will it take to complete, by your estimate?

Okay, there are three days in the tourney. Seeing the way things are going right now, here are my guesses.
I'd say half a session to one session to complete Day One.
One or two sessions for Day Two.
Two or three sessions for Day Three (maybe more, I don't know).
I may be overestimating or underestimating, I'm not really sure. But these look as accurate as I can make them.

So 3-5 more sessions. Didn't you originally estimate the entire game would take 2-3 sessions? Did you forget to carry the 2 in your calculations, or did you add more content later on?
As for what to do, I'm not sure. Let's just carry on and when June comes around, we'll see how things look then.

No, it's just I didn't think it would actually take this long. I thought you would have breezed by Day One in the very first session.

Modem crapped out on us. Finally got it working, though.

There were a couple of missteps there, yeah.
The 'childhood friend' we had never heard of was a little disorienting, although I think we managed to run with it pretty well.
The banquet seemed doomed. Any attempts to start a conversation seemed to die instantly. Most of the character simply looked at him, not saying anything--making it difficult to respond. It didn't help that most of the named NPCs present were harassing Barl (Aliata, Elaine, and Brien). I guess he did far, far worse in the tournament than I first thought.
Although it doesn't look like (from what I saw) Lexi had any better luck.

Yeah, I should have done things differently.
I had planned on using Asander, but I forgot about him until this session came up when I saw that he was supposed to appear. Oh well. Next time I'll make liberal use of handouts.
There are reasons that they're just looking at Barlemus. I guess it doesn't mean much if there's no interaction, though.
Then my connection started to crap out.

Oh, also, do we want to pick this up again come June, or do we go with the second arc of NC3? Because of the shortened session, Day One still isn't over. I had planned to finish it today, but because of the shorter session, it was pretty much impossible.

The lack of interaction did make things kind of dull.
Aliata didn't seem particularly chatty, unless she was putting him down. He doesn't know the prince very well, but I had the feeling any attempt to speak to him would result in short, clipped answers, as well.
Elaine was quite rude to him, and Agase seemed very reluctant to talk about herself. I nearly wound up challenging Brien to a duel, but he ran off. Lexi, Elaine, and Agase all left early, too.
I had completely forgotten about Jonathan until the very end. I wish I had remembered he was sitting there earlier.

Also, regarding Barlemus' ranking, he's near the bottom of the second quarter, so that would put him near 250th place. It's not impossible to make it to the final day, since performance on the second day still counts, but he starts out even lower in the ranks since the entire fourth quarter is cut from tourney and a good chunk of the third quarter.

So, like I said, he did much worse than I initially thought. I actually thought he did pretty well at first.
