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.

well, flat out, time of the day is not so much an issue as time in general is. I will let you know, towards the end of the week whether I'm available.

I will be in for the sunday game though, that much is for sure.

Nawww, I have a better idea for you AlcariAmbaron. Simply throw a 'Sins Multiplayer' party for your mom. She'll love it!

Uhmm, she will be on your team though....right?

uhm, I have a suggestion. so far we are playing medium maps with 8 - 10 players. we wanted to play multi star maps, but it messed up team placement. now, what we can do is to leave teams unlocked and ally up in the game and trust that we are all old and fair enough to stay in those teams even when losing. after all I would really like to try one of those once and I figure I am not alone.

I am aware these maps may take a little longer.

So what you mean is, we start Areolian Sector (or whatever it's called ), see how we're placed, and then ally up based on that to make the teams fair in whatever systems we end up in?

Sounds fine by me, I think by now we can trust each other enough not to backstab when we agree not to. And if we can't, well, no reason to include the backstabbers in the next game

If we do that, though, teams will pretty much have to end up based on who's near who. Because being allied to someone you can't reach without jumping through territories of 2 enemies isn't very fair either. And the downside of that is that we have no control over the overall 'skill level' of the team. For example, in the past some people didn't want me and Multi on the same team, but if we do it this way it'll pretty much be out of anyone's control. As long as everyone is okay with that.

I would really like that, had the same Idea but rejected it as we had too many people I didnt know would go for it...l we can try this saturday.

I think among the core of us the skill level issue is rapidly diaspearing; on the other hand me and Multi wiped the floor for some time against certain peoples   

I dont think it will be too big an issue really; and I would like to see how a game like that plays out.

Nor do I I'm just a firm believer in everyone understanding what they're getting into before they commit. Avoids any unnecessary drama/arguments/what have you if something ends up happening

This should work just fine no matter how it balances out teamwise. I still consider the better players to be Multi, Annatar, and Gauntlet (from the total 7 multiplayer games I've played;)). I think Shadow and myself are almost caught up though in terms of pure skill. Teamwork coordination takes a bit longer to develop than pure skill though.

I haven't played enough against/with the other players here to have good feel of their skill levels and so have no comment for/about them.
