Mage, it's the same password as last night's game.

well joe, that would make it a 3v3 for now. Me you and mage. I will accept up to five players though, so there is plenty of time for two more people to sign up if they'd like. If it stays 3v3 I'll go with one star, if we play 4v4 or 5v5 it'll be 2 stars. I'll PM you the password now.

Well in that case if anyone wants to play tomorrow night at 8:00 pm eastern time, chime in tonight and I'll PM you the password.

I thought of asking you for help earlier but I figured your silence meant that you were busy putting out your own fires. Besides, it seemed like we did have the situation under control a number of times, just to find out moments later that the problem was even worse than we thought. I think I expand too quickly. You might be a turtler(is that a word?) but your method at least keeps you alive. I get on a roll and don't stop til I find out I've overextended myself. I'm going to try and cu

el_tea, what is your game name in ICO?

OK right now it's just the three of us. If nobody else checks in we can go with one star instead of two. Three of us won't make it too crowded. And el_tea, don't worry about sucking. Me and mage are still in the learning phase too.

So far only you have confirmed. I'll PM you the password.

No, there won't be teamspeak for this one. Not everyone's set up for it, and besides I'll just end up annoying other people in the house if I'm speaking to the computer for hours on end. I made a random 2 star map that supports 4v4 team play. I can make one for 5v5 team play quickly enough. I went with 2 stars because I don't like the idea of playing a crowded 1 star map and Mage indicated he'd rather not go with the 3 star map because it can isolate team members. Astax, what kind of ma

Mage, I watched a replay of our game from Bhruic's point of view and got some good tips on how to start the game, and I've been kicking AI ass in single player games. If you have access to the record file you might want to check it out. If you don't have access to it, PM me and I can email you the file. As far as your suggested setting are concerned, my only difference would be to stick with the 3 star format. 4 human and 4 AI players on just one star would be too crowded I think. Mayb

[I]By the way, tomorrow is St Valentine's Day : I guess it would be prudent, then, to not launch any computer game. [/I] That's why I said I'd host my next game on Friday. ;)

I get the same warning, but then people are able to join my games just fine.

The AI difficulty was normal. Don't be too sure you won't be able to compete with other humans though. You did better than I did. I'm going to play a few more human team vs ai team games but before too long I'll have to give playing against humans a go.

Well guys, great game! Thanks Bhruic for all the help and cash! :p

OK I'm logging in now.

BTW for mage and Bhruic, I'll be on time for 6:30 this evening. ;)

Ah yes I can confirm I am an extreme newbie. lol Like mage said this game will be wrapping up this evening but I'll host more games. I'm thinking maybe Friday but don't quote me on that. :D

I just PMed it to you and bhruic

I'm in lobby #3 right now

Geez I didn't even realize the other guys had bailed. I was too busy getting my ass kicked to notice. lol Well cybermage seems interested so we'll give him time.

Cool. We'll give the other guys some time to check in and take it from there. Hopefully we can start before 9pm eastern.

I can do tonight or wednesday night, whichever is better. I'll keep checking in to this thread tonight to see if there is interest. Gotta be to bed by midnight though. ;)

Hi I'm back. I see alot of people want to play human team vs AI, I'm down for that if that's the consensus. I'll be logging in to the server now. I imagine we can chat about the details there......

Anyone looking for an all newbie game? I am a newbie and I would like to avoid getting pounded into the dirt by veterans(at least for now) so I'm going to host a game tonight(Sunday) at 8:30 PM eastern standard time. Anyone interested, check in at 8:30! The game will not be password protected, and it will have the word "newbie) in the title. My game name is the same as my forum name. I haven't decided on the settings yet. If anyone has any requests put them here in this forum before 8:30.

Well, later on this evening I'm going to give hosting a game a go, and as I am a newbie I promise I'll put newbies only in the title. ;)
