Re: Calling all North American Players!!!

I can never get on early enough even on Saturdays for the CG, so this'd be nice. Friday would be best for me since I'm not up too late on school nights.

Fridays would be awesome for me, I don't usually have plans until after 9 or 10 pm (PST), and that would probably be best for you East Coasters.  Also, the NfB server is practically in my backyard.  Hurrah for ping that doesn't suck!

Re: Calling all North American Players!!!

Yeah, that is the way it was before a game on Friday's and Saturdays catering to the US and EU, I don't see why this couldn't work again.

Re: Calling all North American Players!!!

If you guys do it on a Friday evening, I'm sure I could round up at least 6 guys from NfB to play in it. The reason most quit was because of the 2v2 and 3v3 games that we were playing. Around 9-10pm PST is what works out best for us.

I started a thread over in our forums to try and drum up some support for the community game.

Re: Calling all North American Players!!!

I'd love it if this was done. In my hectic schedule, I find it difficult to get a chance to play when everyone's on. So I usually end up wondering around the maps by myself for about an hour hoping someone will join. tongue

Nothing beats the full on, epic Star Wars conflicts that are had on FS. NOTHING! The precious few times I did get to play on a full server was so incredibly intense and 'Star Wars-like', I was frothing at the mouth to do it again and had goose bumps for days. big_smile

...I just need to do something about upgrading my sad little PC. There were so many explosions and blaster bolts criss-crossing the screen, I thought my PC was going to explode in trying to keep up. tongue

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.

Hopefully I'm mis-interpreting what you mean by this. I don't want to split the community in two. I just want to get more people playing at more times. The CG's on Saturday are great! And if you happen to be able to get on the servers during the week around 2pm (CST) there's a good chance to catch some folks on and get in a few games. But like I said in my first post here, there is not much going on during the week in the evening for us players in the N. America. So holding another CG during the week, I think, could strengthen the numbers we have for the Saturday game.

I don't see why this couldn't work. It's giving more people the chance to play. And if more people play, the more word will spread, and then even more people will come onboard.

From what I've seen so far, Friday looks to be the best day for most. So, 9pm-10pm PST = 7pm-8pm CST = 1am-2am GMT (if my math skills are still somwhat adequate smile ) So let's split the difference and say 7:30pmCST, and then get cracking around 8pm. Do we want to start tomorrow, or next week to give everyone the chance to make plans? By no means should we limit ourselves to just two CG's a week. If someone wants to get one going on a different day, post what day and time and I'll betcha people will show up smile That's what First Strike is... a COMMUNITY game. The more players playing, the better it is!

Skates, I tried logging on to NFB forums, but it said "INVALID TOKEN". I'd like to get with you about using your server for this. I'll send you a PM on here and we can go from there smile

Thanks to everyone who responded to this post. It proved to me my theory was correct. There are alot of people who like playing this mod, only we never play at the same times tongue

Sounds like a problem with your password. Try the password reset and if that doesn't work then e-mail me and I'll manually reset it to something.

When you guys decide on a date and time I'll post an announcement on our home page. Just FYI, we almost always have anywhere from 5-15 people in TS every night so we could drag some guys in on short notice. wink
