Organizing another big game

from Sins Forums
So after that 4v4, I figured why not try and organize another big game

It's hard to predict how long it can last, so I wouldn't put the "You must stay until the end" condition on signing up, especially since it's during the week and people have to work and things. But the condition I will put is not to leave when your flagship gets destroyed early on. Otherwise, stay as long as you possibly can.

So with that said, I'm available during the week from about 5pm Central time (that's what, 11 pm GMT?).

If anyone's interested, post here along with your times so we can set something up. Maybe even tonight if we're lucky You folks who were in our last big game better sign up

Also, I can host fine if that's an issue for anyone.

Tonight, I don't get home until 10 EST or so. Tomorrow I get home around 8 eastern, but I am required to attend the familiy dinner when I'm home for it, so I wouldn't be able to commit untill around 10 EST again.

Wednesday and onward I already have plans: The Orange Box is coming out! The Orange Box is coming out! (though if I knew the game would be available for me, I would come...)

I suppose I should get the Orange Box eventually.. but my hands are full enough as it is to get yet another game Plus TF2 doesn't look that interesting to me, would be more for Episode 2

But, if you're not here, one less Sova raid to worry about Teehee.

Well we've got what, 7 interested now and Ron would make 8 if he got his butt online.. looking over the times, how's tomorrow (Wednesday) at 6ish EST sound? I'm Central and 5pm is the earliest I can make it which'll make it 6 for you Eastern folk

Works for me. You hosting Annatar?


Yup, I can host Haven't had anyone complain about it yet, anyway. Eet can (could?) host since I've played a game pre-patch with him, also..

I could do it today


Didn't plan it for today since Shadowhal was interested but said his Tuesday is planned out Plus if you're hung over I wouldn't want you on my team anyway!

Alright, I am in for Wednesday 6pm EST.

...okay, dumb question time. I haven't played a multiplayer game yet with the beta (been working a lot of hours lately). Do we meet up in Stardock Central chat? How do we hook up for the actual game?

If you feel you need to mock my ignorance...well at least try to make it witty.

I'd love to join in, but I rarely get home before 9 EST (0100Z). That's what happens when you live in -0700.

I get off work at 5:40 pacific time. Ergo, sorry -- can't make it. Enjoy yourselves though!

BTW, I get off work friday, and I can probably beg off from going out to eat -- so I could probably manage something that day. Probably starting 7 or later PST, I'm not sure. (I'm also planning on dropping by a blood drive in the area so my schedule is a little in flux -- 7 really should be about as late as it'd take though).

sry guys, have to pass on the 6 pm EST date. that would make a midnight to early morning game which is a bit tough even for my conditions. besides, I have lecture. another time, maybe weekend.

Alright, I am going to assume we are all meeting up in the Ironclad Online Lobby for SoaSE.

I can make 6:00pm EST no problem, but it seems that others can't. Would it help if we played an hour later instead?


So who is on for tomorrow 100%?????

I'd love to but Monday - Thursday I have class until 10pm Pacific (5am GMT )... And Thursday wouldn't work anyways since I have to go to work 2 hours after that at midnight. Weekends would be better for me but it would have to be early afternoon because I have work at midnight.

17 units and 2 jobs are bad for gaming schedules
