For the week of Dec 2 - Dec 8, I'm thinking of having two dates:
Thurs Dec 5: Turn 1 / 2
Sun Dec 8: Turn 3 / 4
Jebus is still out of town until late friday, so we need to find a stand-in tank for the first two turns. If Weds does not work for someone, we could move it to Thurs or Fri.
Update: Naru can sub in for Jebus if we run on Thursday, so I'm changing the date of the first run to Thurs, Dec 5.
I'll keep this post updated whenever anything comes up.
Thanks,
Krom

Patch 2.1 comes out next week. Monday is no good due to 24hr maintenance and Tuesday may also have some issues as patch days are notorious for being inconsistent.
We can blow through turns 1 and 2 really fast, and I have a feeling turn 4 will drop after only a few attempts, which leaves the second day for us to start learning turn 5.
Tuesday / Wednesday : Turns 1 - 4
Friday, Dec 20 : Turn 5
The new primals should be doable with a pickup group within FC, but if people want to, we can also schedule those.
Let me know if any of these times do not work for you
Cisco has me traveling out to Nebraska to provide some onsite customer support from Dec 20-25. Then I'm going to be making the family holiday rounds from Dec 26 - Jan 01. I feel bad since we just got our team in place and we are making really good progress, but duty calls unfortunately :( Hit me up in game or something if you have any questions.
This week is going to undoubtedly be rough for everybody because of the holidays. I'm hoping we can get 1-4 done on Monday and scrape together whatever we can for primals if anyone else is on during the rest of the week. The following week I'm hoping we can get some quality time with a certain dragon lady.
Thursday, January 2: Extreme Primals and/or Turn 5 (composition dependent)
An update to our situation:
We have had a few prospects for our scholar spot and will likely be trying one (or two) of them this monday. Alastair is leaving the server soon, so our second tank slot has opened up. We've used Quick Shot last week, but I'm unsure if that's going to be a permanent replacement. Tyme should be back on Thursday, so we will no longer have to pug a dps for coil starting the next week (unless we decide to do T5 with one tank, in which case we can pull someone from group 2 if we need).
Update: Alastair is not leaving! Our tank situation is all set now.
Let me know in game if these dates do not work for you and I'll make some changes.

We'll be looking for a new scholar this week, so I'm unsure how things are going to work. We may bring in Combine for 1-4 and Garuda, but we do need a dedicated scholar for turn 5.
I don't know if you guys are cool with 4 raid days this week; I do want to try to get a lot more time in on T5 so we can start making progress. We do have a couple of prospects for the scholar spot, so hopefully we can get some regularity here.
Thurs, Jan 30: Clean up T5 (if she's not already dead)
Good job on the T5 kill last week guys, hopefully soon we'll have a full group so we wont have to bring in people from outside.
Jebus is working on his WAR (and he can probably main tank it too) and I'm still looking for hopefuls for SCH, but worst case scenario we can do a kill group at the end of the week.

I think we're good enough to be able to sell Titan XM (we know we can sell ifrit and garuda). We may not be able to guarantee first attempt kill, but we can guarantee that we'll eventually get it.
small tipp to sell titan xm the Sch has to be in Cleric stance the whole Time if you do it with 2 heals hes only going out of cleric Stance for The phase where The whm gets Goiled use virus after you killed the adds on titan and do stoneskin on the tank which gets the 3rd table hit debuff and its easy peasy :D

We actually have me (WHM) in cleric the whole time, except for tumult, phase transitions, and during adds. This works better, since SCH are better at single target healing and mana management.
Wednesday, Feb 12: Primals and any other carries/sales we can find.
EDIT: Thursday, Feb 13: Primal Sales: CANCELLED (I'm dumb and forgot I had a prior engagement.)
I'm going to implement a tank rotation so that we aren't scrambling to find some sort of agreement the day of. This week, since Alastair just got his weapon, we're going to have him sit out T5.
This week: Al/Jebus 1-4, Blue/Jebus T5
Next week: Al/Jebus 1-5
Week after that: Al/Blue 1-5
Next: Jebus/Blue 1-5
Next: Al/Jebus 1-5, etc.
Basically, each person gets 2 runs in a row then sits out a week.

Making that gil! Just to give you a heads up I'll be unavailable from Feb 14-17, so I won't around if we happen to get any additional primal sales during that period. I should be back to my usual schedule Feb 18.

New patch hits on Thursday this week. I'd like to get some work on new content done before this first reset.
With this patch, the reset is going to change to Tuesdays. I'm thinking we change around our schedule to run Mon/Tues/Thurs so that we have access to the content the day it resets. Let me know what you guys think about this schedule.
I'm expecting our primal sales to drop significantly, as Extreme primals are going to receive the Echo buff. What we will be able to do, however, is sell turn 5 runs. Obviously, I'd prefer to spend our raid time on actual progression, but it's just a heads up for what is likely in the near future for us. Ex Mog and Levi may be sellable as well; it all depends on the tuning.

I'm free all day Thurs if you guys want to try it. I was hesitant to do Thurs 'cause I assumed the servers would go up a bit later in the day and be risky to play on, but since theyre going live very early, I think we could do it.
If Thurs does not work, I'm definitely willing to go in on Saturday.

I have an urgent personal matter that I need to attend to. Due to this issue, I will not be back on Sunday as originally planned. I will keep you updated if there are any additional changes. As it stands right now, I should be available again Monday evening. I apologize for the inconvenience, so please feel free to replace me as needed this weekend.
Looks like this week is a sort of a shitstorm of unavailability.
No Jebus until Weds night, and we have no Tyme from Thurs until Monday.
We can try a tentative Wednesday raid, but it's not 100% that we'll have Jebus (and I'm on call that night as well, so I'm possibly unavailable as well.)
So it seems the only day we have for sure is Monday, but that is Memorial day; don't know if people wanted to do other shit. Let me know if you can't make it.
