Tues 14th 8pm EST at the server in my signature. My hand is rested and feeling so I will use it to abuse anyone who shows up.

Go ahead and make suggestions on what maps/gametypes you want to see. I'm going to try a new King of the Hill. Since the common strategy is to throw a nade into the "hill" before you get there, we will play with no nades. This means you have to kill opponents skillfully to take the hill. I'll see how it goes, I made need to drop shields or health to get it to play right.

See you guys there!

No nade's king is a good idea. I was thinking about mentioning that.

I would like to see the usual Hang'em High and Blood Gulch, (prefer slayer but whatever.) I like assault when it come's to CTF, but don't mind both. Oddball on a small map would be best.

Other than that I am open to anything. I might be AFK here and there, cause some family is in town. But I'm sure I will make some sort of appearance.

Peace y'all...and happy hunting.

That Blood Gulch, snipers, no shields, was really fun. I've never played that variant before.

Race on Infinity is kind of loooooong. How bout BG or Sidewinder instead?

By the way, folks, don't camp on Race, that's not the point of the game. You've got a billion games of CTF under your belt where you camp the other base like mad crazy, so leave Race out of it.

What's that one map that's in space with the 5 levels and two teleporters on each side? I don't like that map....

That would be Boarding Action. Two ships flying next to each other in space. I think it was original designed as a sniper map. Problem is you have so much area to try to find a target in, it becomes whoever finds a target first wins. Your standing still scanning for targets if someone sees you first, BOOM Headshot. If you try to move around it's harder to find targets and your movements attract attention to your postion. Your not alone in not liking that map.

Three things:
* Will almost definitely be there tomorrow, unless for some reason the computer crashes or is taken away from me. Right now, I am a fan of BG Assault (since last week's game) and some interesting variation of team slayer. The no grenade king is a great idea as well!
* Never seen BG Snipers, McKeegan? That's all the sniper training I used to do, there's usually like 5 servers with it to me...
* Well... Acutally, there's no third thing now that I think about it...

See all of you tomorrow!

And let me just say, McKeegan, though you haven't played much sniper on BG before (even though it's everywhere, lol), you are still a pretty beastly player.

No nades for king of the hill would rock. I wish there was a way you could take out flamethrowers, rls, and fuel rod cannons too so that you could have a totally skilled taking over of the hill. That would be cool....

Well 'no nades' is not an option, unless I'm missing something. The only option is infinite grenades yes or no. They missed that option and the No heavies option when they made the game.

Blood Gulch Assault
Chiron TL-34 Kigh of the Hill
Danger Canyon Race
Icefields Classic Rockets Just wondering if its any good on this map.

Server is already setup so you can get on and practice if you want. I'll jump in and out throughtout the night to dish out punishment and keep it civil. Me, ZENN and McKeegan have admin rights, although McKeegan is recovering from hand surgery and learning how to type with his nose. :) (Hope all is well)

Remember to keep camping to a minimum and don't let the chat get out of hand. Please keep the vehicles out of the bases also. See you guys there.

Interesting games... At first, great play with AB, fastmatt and more who joined later, pretty balanced I thought. Later on, in my second shift, super betray fest at Sidewinder while Igg was out. The game was still decent and very hard to capture!

The high points of the night though were Prisoner Slayer, which was a lot of fun trying to kill your target (Iggwilv was very hard to find and kill! I did get the pleasure of getting AB a couple times though...), Plasma Slayer at Hang 'em High (Sticky party! I think 5 of my 23s were sticky deaths, the rest miscellaneous ones. So close to beating Brainpr0n to 1st too!)
And finally, BG CTF was great fun, with an assorted mixture of n0d3z, Iggwilv,(both left a bit early on) and ZZZENNN, whom I had the pleasure of teaming with and later on competing against (all in the same game). I was beating him too for a while, and killed him twice! Of course, the game finished with my team losing but whatever.

See you all Thurs!

Screenshot # 5 was my glory game over there... Sure I died a lot, but I think it was a pretty good performance.
Screenshot #4 I found funny. CABOSE got killed by CABOOSE... lol

I thought that I'd be able to be there Thursday, but it turns out that I'll be going over to this big concert thing to play handbells alongside other schools for the whole day. Kick some extra butt everybody!

I FRAPSed a bunch of the action last night so I'll try to put it together into a montage tonight. I couldn't hit the broadside of a barnyard last night. It took me four or five shots to kill people and that's after mising with 6-8 shots.
Well the Chiron-TL34 KOTH needs to be changed to Classic weapons because the flamer was getting over used. 3 or 4 players would get flamers and then turn the hill into a small sun. I hated the hill that was located in the labyrinth room in the cubby that has the overshield. That was a pain in the ass the try to get into and hold.
Too many campers on Race and the Assault gametype just escapes most people. I'm probably not going to run race again until I can get a macro program to scroll the rules in the text. Meanwhile you want a good race server go find the -AD- and =AD= race servers. They usually have mods on and keep the campers off.

Next Gathering is Thurs at 8pm EST. Heero did ya hear me?

Agree. It was extremely disturbing seeing a pile of seven corpses in the little hill where the area had just been. Assault isn't that much of a problem though, since if all of the people in your team knew that you need to get the flag from your own base it would be impossible to organize anything, since every player would be just rushing for the flag. Race I can't say anything about, since I had to go halfway through.

The few games I got to play were amazingly fun. Plasma slayer was a blast! (HA!) I just gotta remember to blink once in a while. It was a close game right up until the end.

I just wish I could have stayed longer. Dunno if I will be able to make Thursday nights but I am penciling in Tuesday nights on my calendar.
