As most of us know, there are two main communities in Sins of a Solar Empire, one for multiplayer and one for modding. Bar the occasional group of friends playing a mod on ICO together however, these two communities rarely interact with each other, besides occasional discussions of game balance.

 

Therefore I propose a little icebreaker in the true Sins fashion, complete with the typical disintegration of metal, screams of nuked worlds, and if we're lucky even the rare space pony sighting, that we've all come to know and love, regardless of which form of Sins we get most of our entertainment from. Yes, I think its time for the first ever Pro Player vs Modders MP game!

 

Of course as we are meeting in the Pro player's home court, I think in the interest of a semi-interesting game the modders will need a team advantage of some sort. Any ideas on the exact number of players on each team as well as the best time to arrange this will be welcome (I'd guess sometime on Thanksgiving weekend). And of course, if you're interested do let us know.

I'd like to have one pro player sort of be in charge of the logistics of making the game who promises to be there, presumably if any of the other pros don't show we can find substitutes at the game launch. As modders don't often log on to ICO don't commit unless you're sure you can make it at whatever time we agree on. Also if possible I think it would be nice for as many different mods as possible to be represented, but obviously filling the roster comes first.

I don't want to usurper a spot that was already claimed, if someone doesn't show I can fill in or if there is a second game maybe I could play in that; but I don't want to bully (or have someone else bully) my way into the game.

I don't take requests though...  Not right now anyway.

Do I really have to pollute my machine with TS again?  Sigh.

Quoting Greg30007,
I would gladly give my spot to Auqia.

He is much more skilled than me and ask Zombie with a bit of feed he can easily fend of 2 players while i would probably die.

I'm sure it will be quite a game if he plays. Thanks Greg.

By all means, just hang out on ICO when the game starts and if we have any no shows, we'll let you in.

Don't have to, but it will make coordination a lot easier. Unless you have a better idea.

We're giving till Thanksgiving weekend for a few reasons. Organization, to give people a chance to practice up, and cause we're getting so many volunteers that we'll probably have to schedule two vanilla games to rotate out everyone.

Howthe?'s the name he goes by on ICO and (at least to me) sounds a lot better than shortening to howdidu.

Do we have an exact date/time yet on this?  I need time to prepare so I don't get laser eyes that day from my wife. 

Trying to avoid the, "We have the day off together and you want to play a game!?" conversation.

Quoting Sinperium,

Alright, I don't know everyones time zones, but would 10pm EST work for everyone? If that doesn't work for you, please state your timezone and a better time for you.

Quoting Howdidudothat,
Quar wants in too.

Yeah, unfortunately we have too many pros already, with Auqia, Quar and master1a we have perhaps 7 pros interested to play in 4 slots. Since I didn't think of any way to decide among the pros who gets to play in advance I think the only fair thing to do is go by first come first served, but if you can work out another way to do it let me know.
