Ok I'm online right now 7:18, GST -5 . If anyone wants to play look for me on your friend's list. Though I can really only host 4-5 people...that's it.

P.S Every day, I'll keep you guys updated about whether I've gotten a response from Frankie yet, nothing yet, but I expect to get a reply either Thursady or Friday, at least I hope. If there's no answer by then we'll discuss what to do.

Because when you win the game you get to hump your enemies and indicate to them "physically" that you truly OWN them.

alas, the Day of the Hump is near...Humpday.

We need somone to host practice games if were going to take on bungie :)


I just shut my clan down but still have a 12 - person dedicated server and teamspeak server until Jan. 4th. It's down right now but I'll get them to reinstall it and get it back up and running. If some of you guys are willing to pitch in I can keep it running past the 4th. It can be used for all of us to practice or play against each other. Anyone who sends money will get rcon access so they can administer the server. Let me know what you guys think.

I don't think we need all that much practice to beat Bungie. They probably haven't played Halo PC in forever so they all probably suck!

Exactly my thinking ;) Even though they helped make the game we're probably all still better then them. They personally made Halo 2 and know its ins and outs, yet there's people on LIVE wayyyy better than anyone at Bungie, even Frankie. Still, we should get some practice in.

Yeah, I mean the game's just a whole lot more fun if you know how to coordinate strategy with your teammates, especially in CTF.

Yes, CTF, that's what I'm talking about.

ANNOUNCEMENT:

Today at around 8:30-9:00 GST -5 (EST) me, P1i2z3z4a5, onyxspartan (forget what he goes by on the forums), [BOSS]RedX, and graciously hosted by Iggwilv (and an "attempted" hosting by me) got to The Maw's first Humpday practice. We played a few games and had some fun, although there was some latency issues (cough *lag* cough) we might be able to host at least 10 people next time if it's okay with Iggwilv and if he gets his DS working. If not then the best we can do right now is 4-5 people.

If ANYONE (looks around suspiciously) has an uber-connection that can host a Halo game with more people than that it would be most appreciated if you'd be able to host a practice of ours. We could always meet in an empty Bungie server (if they come back up) and practice there, but the only problem is other people can join that we have no control over. So if anyone can host a game larger that would be awesome. Right now though I guess if we have to multiple members can run multiple servers at a time if we need to. So if you want some crazy flamethrower battles (looking at you P1i2z3z4a5) and some pistol whipping action then meet us for our next practice, hope to see you there ;)

Yeah that was a good session. Now I need to study up on my console commands :) Hopefully the DS will be up by tomorrow evening, then we can have some 6v6 CTF battles. Allthough I kinda enjoy dishing out uber-pwnage with my zero ping.

hmmm, I'm not sure but I'll PM him and ask if he could be of assistance. Thanks for all the contribution everyone. Also Ender, thank you VERY much for the offer of your dedicated server, I'll PM you about it tommorrow, though we have to arrange how this will pan out.

-jman571, let's hope this will work...

I'm pretty sure sld has some router/firewall problems that he can't fix, which is why he can't host. Either that or its being used for things like rendering, or something else to do with school. He does have a nice server when it works though.

sweet! IP join, here I come. Thank you very much Iggwilv for the use of the server. I don't have a PayPal account but I'll see if I'll be able to somehow get you money to keep the server going, either that or I'll just pay for one myself (if I can get enough money :/) We still might be needing that server Ender, though not for the next little while at least. No word yet from Frankie, he must be getting A LOT of emails....

heyyo,

well, were not looking for any money for the dedicated server, we dont pay ourselves, i think we do have a bungie server on a grant, and a couple of guys have dedi servers already in our clan, so i just have to figure out which one u guys can use and itl be free, but we would like to participate in this event at some point

I think the hardest part of us practicing is the difference in all of our time zones. So we should try and hook up on saturday or sunday. I work 6 days a week but still play every night around 8:00 in my time zone, (mountain standard time.)

I would like to say thanks to the people who are willing to share their server's. Now hopefully we can group the majority of us together and battle. Even if Bungie does not want to play you guy's, at least we have an opportunity for us Maw member's to group up and have a decent game of Halo.

I would also like to give props to the House of {MO} members. This is an excellent server with kick ass admins. that are alway's there to supervise. Just remember if you accidentaly tk someone on this server, say your sorry. The only way they will ban you is if you are a jerk about it, or you do it so much you get the autoban.

Peace and hope to see some of ya out there.

how much does it cost for a DS?
And normally on weekdays i can play from 4-9pm EST. but not the whole time maybe 2 hours in that range
can i get unbanned on the unnficial maw server? I AM NOT A (ME) KING! The first two were because my teamates were stupid and ran into me while i was in a ghost and the last one was when i went over the jump in timberland you know where the overshield is in the middle i went over the jump with the hog and there was my teamate on the ramp and since i cant stop in midair then i killed him then i was banned plz unban me!

LOL yeah I'll unban you. I set the Autoban pretty tight, two kills, 5min pardon, 2s grace. First ban 12 hours second ban permanent. I'll ease up on those settings when I get a chance to restart the server, which maybe hard because it's always full.
