NA PC Community Game Night?

(EnderWiggin.DA.) #1

I am trying to organize a North America Community Game Night for PC players. Currently I organize a WEDNESDAY night for Shacknews.com although attendance has fallen dramatically.

PC players, on what night would you want to play? Currently the default start time is 10pm eastern. Why? nobody shows up at 9pm. It’s also hard for me to get home from work before 10 pm eastern.

The general format is objective mode with some custom settings. Maps generally alternate which team attacks and defends. Random shuffles occur when people ask or when defense gets rolled on maps I know they shouldn’t get rolled on. It’s just for fun.

I voted 3 times!

10P.M. EST is good for me I’m on west coast so it is still fairly early.

What custom settings? Or TBD?

I am open to pretty much anything, as long as VOIP is on and FF is off. Friendly slide tackles FTW!

I also get decent Ping to that shack server, or I may be able to offer up a west coast server to use. Keeping it in Dallas or Chicago could offer a wider player base though.

Vote maps? or rotation?

Bump for the day walkers. VOIP/FF=ON. In general it’s the oldskool config but scripted spawn times on to keep teams from being full held for 20 mins. Map rotation is defined since it largely alternates between which side attacks except for one exception.

I should note that Fri/Sat nights are more difficult for me to play/admin since the wife and coworkers like to do things on those nights. However, it’s still possible to set up the server and let it run. Also, I think someone devised a script to allow limited admin access so that’s also a possibility.

:cool:Awesome idea if you ask me!

I will be there for wednesday’s and more than likely for the weekends to, So if you can determine a setup for auto adding in admins then leaving the server up for the weekends could only help the cause.

I hope we get some more NA PC players to read the post and provide some more feedback.

I should have said I prefer FF off due to the friendly slide tackles, but I can manage around it.

I am planning on Wednesday night this week. Although I don’t exclusively pay for the server I use, I doubt my friends would mind setting it up on Friday nights as well.
I generally prefer FF On but I am not intractable. Depends on others tbh.

Brink TV will like to cover Wednesday night if that’s groovy with all.

(Deadwalking) #8

I would be down with some Brink TV facetime. LOL!

Cmon anymore US, Canada, North Americans in general want to help participate in some community game nights on PC?

(cheezespread) #10

Count me in ( unless I get pulled to work).

This is happening this Wednesday. Well, if people show up. I’m going to ask if we can use the Shacknews TS server but it would be douchey of me to just post the IP.

Game 7 of the Stanley Cup?? Pffft. Brink!!! Meet new people, play nice, and have a good time.

DO ask for a RANDOM shuffle if the you think the teams are unbalanced. You might not get it, but ask.
DO set up your in game chat variables. I might have a TS server lined up!
Brink fans, come frag with us. Running an oldskool config (no bots) and the rotation alternates which team attacks and defends. If an admin makes it on the server, we will try to shuffle teams if necessary to avoid persistant rapeage. Otherwise, ask your favorite medic for a lube syringe or self balance.

Bumpage for North America. They are awake now. Come play tonight!!! See post above.

I will post TS info later.

(GreasedScotsman) #13

Brink TV will be on hand to cover this at 10pm EDT! :smiley:

(mukmuk) #14

Awesome, I’ll try to make it! Sounds like a fun change from pubbin it up :slight_smile:

(burawura) #15

I’m interested in playing if there are open slots…Wednesday is a good night for me, too.

(Deadwalking) #16

Yeah burawura!

mukmuk pretty sure there is room as there are only about 5-6 of us saying we will be there.

Would be nice to see some more forum goers post to!

See you all on the Ark this evening.

VOIP vars are all turned up to 10db in game since last update, so you should only need to make sure oyur VOIP buttons are setup.

And for quick bind chat commands see the post below.

There are shack players too! And up to 2 BRINKTV people as well.

(EnderWiggin.DA.) #18

Updated with TS info. Please be on your company manners. Shacknews has agreed to let me post the TS info.

(HorseGuy) #19

I am totally in for this, time to get some practice in so if I do get to play I don’t look like a total fool.

(burawura) #20

You sure about that? I just checked and in my game it still says “default -6” in the console. I’ve had mine set (both inbound and outbound) to zero and haven’t had any trouble yet. And I thought the range of valid inputs for s_volume_voipin_db and s_volume_voipout_db was -6 to 6?

Also I am assuming the TS3 server is running rc2? (I am on rc1 for playing arma2 with acre)
