Topic: Calling all North American Players!!!

I was wondering if anyone would be interested in participating in a weekly community game for us folks who "live across the pond" to be held sometime during the week around 8pm CST. I don't know about if anyone else has this problem, but I find it frustrating that hardly anyone is on during the evening time here in the states ( and possibly Canada and Mexico... Are there any players in Canada or Mexico? If so, then this is for you, too smile ) The day and time are not so much important as is just getting us all together for some good battles once in awhile.

It could be just me, but I've noticed the number of people playing FS has seemed to drop in the last few weeks. The community game on Saturdays is a great idea. It seems Saturday is probably the only day when everyone has the chance to get together, and there are some really good matches when alot of people show up. But during the week, when the overseas players are on, most of us here are at work or whatever, and by the time we get home those players overseas are signing off to go to bed. I think that having another community game during the week could help boost morale and hopefully get some more people back on the servers.

If anyone is interested, post what day and time works best for you and we'll see if we can put this together. And if any of you players overseas are insomniacs, feel free to drop by as well. smile

DS has a couple of US Players, I'll get them to look by this thread and post for ya, Sadwhale.  Good idea, of course it would have to be hosted on a U.S server.. I think NFB has good settings for it, you'd need their co-operation to properly set the games of forum Community games, either that or cope with high pings on the EU Serv's.

It sounds good to me. I could make it  between 10:00 and 1:00  GMT.

I don't think we'll have the numbers at first to worry too much about high pings, so Rogue Tribe's server should be OK... I play on it all the time and I don't have much of a problem except on Yavin, or when there are really high numbers. But if any US server would like to volunteer their higher capacity server to host a game, that would be AWESOME! smile

Re: Calling all North American Players!!!

If you want to let me know how you want the server set up I can set ours up for you. I saw your post in our shout box but if you wanted to post in our forums along with a date and time you would probably get a few from our community to join in. It is a great mod and we have had some fun with it but we were only getting 6-10 players in the server in the evenings when we were playing so we haven't been playing it much lately. It would be fun to play a few rounds with a full server.

Re: Calling all North American Players!!!

I'm not sure what to think about splitting the community in two this way, but then again we used to have two CG's a week before, I think (one on Friday and one on Saturday) and it probably worked then.

If there was a server hosted from off the west coast of Ireland there would be no problem lol Except maybe for west coast Americans.
