Topic: North American Community Game NIGHT

Why don't we have Community Game night for ALL players on the same night?...  Either Fri, or Sat - I don't care.... frankly, I wish there were enough players of this MOD to make it every night.

Tonight's CG night peaked at 40 players at 5:00pm CST in the US... cripes, by the time I joined it was done.

Oh, the xfire group SUCKS! - I've bugged members for 3 nights in a row to join on... but no one will (well maybie 1 or 2) - and what's with that one dude always playing solitare???... go look! smile he's playing it now!

Anyway - this mod rocks and I would LOVE more players to be online in the evening 6:00pm - 12:00am CST.

It's Saturday night at 7:00pm and there's 1 dude on... sad

Let's have CG night on the same night for everyone - the time difference will even out... Europe fades as North America builds up.

Hmmmmm.....

Re: North American Community Game NIGHT

The CG's aren't dedicated to one place or the other.

Fridays are more geared towards those US players that just can't make it to the offical (saturday) ones. Its hard to get Euro players to join them just because it is so late.   These CG's are unofficial, not announced as they are just too late for all the europeans to make it.

Saturdays are more for everyone - its at a decent time for UK people to begin with, and some Eastern Coasters, and usually plays with most of the Euro players staying and more USers joining later on and later when alot of the euro players leave the US West Coasters are starting to come on.  Today's CG was cut short as about 2/3 of the players quit the game after a server crash which lasted about 30 seconds.  Usually people come back pretty snappy, today it was different and we just had to turn off the settings as there wasn't enough of us to keep it going.

9PM(British time, that is) onwards is the best time for CG as it theoretically carries on for as long as the USers plan on staying.  And its hosted on a server which handles long distance connections very well (yes, there is the occasional problem but they really seem to be only for certain people) and can handle full 64p cap with BR enabled.  The CG's are for everyone, its just up for everyone to keep them going.

Bugging people will just get them pissed at you and more unlikely to listen. Don't do it.

As you know, xfire records game time. Some people use a game like solitaire or minesweeper instead of setting AFK so they can rack up a ton of hours for bragging rights. So, leave them alone also.

Some people are also part of a group who want to get some certain game into the top 10 most played XFire games.  To do this they turn on that game after turning on XFire, do whatever they want for the rest of the day and turn their PC off.  All the time their PC is on it records them as playing that game making the total game time for it go up.
