aittam Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 I may be in dependind at which time the british railways decide to bring me home; I'll pop in and if numbers are even pop out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junglist Posted October 12, 2006 Author Share Posted October 12, 2006 Sounds good aittam. Although, I personally would prefer if you stayed whether or not the numbers are even. As long as everyone on the two teams is all ready accounted for, I can't help but think it would be nice to play with the maximum number of humans possible.

ClaytoniousRex Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Gents, I'm having a devil of a time rounding up the Dev Team (it's kind of like coordinating bots). I might not be able to get a firm game setup until the next weekend - the 22nd. However, since we're all massing for the 15th anyway, we can definitely still play! But the official Upstarts vs. Devs match is probably going be delayed. Is the 22nd OK for you Upstarts, with a practice game for fun on the 15th?

Chilibird Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Sounds good. With any luck, I might actually have the Ramses done by then. It's all coming down to texturing right now 0.o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junglist Posted October 13, 2006 Author Share Posted October 13, 2006 I'll play with/against you anytime Clay. Any idea what time you might be free to go online Sunday? Name a time and I'll be there. It would be fun to play a casual game with any and all people out there who want to mix it up. It would give us more time to study your habits and tendencies in the game too, not a bad thing at all.

Toby Haynes Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 I'll still try and turn up for Sunday 15th. Just give me a time Sunday 22nd is currently still free for me - I'll try and keep it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePhantom Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 Looks like the Developers are trying to put it off in fear of the "Upstarts". We've already won the first victory. The mind game........ Just kidding, I'll be there in the morning of the 15th "Live Fire Training day" and the 22nd Operation Upstart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClaytoniousRex Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 Almost any time is OK for me, but just to throw something out there: how about 3pm EST? (This way I can nurse a giant Starbucks coffee before the game). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junglist Posted October 14, 2006 Author Share Posted October 14, 2006 3pm sounds good to me. It'll give me a chance to do some stuff around the house and appease the wife a bit before exiting reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's definitely a banned substance for athletes. Good thing I'm a programmer by trade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toby Haynes Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Great stuff. I got to play alongside the Creator which was instructive. I will remember those tactics when I'm playing for the Upstarts If I've learned anything today, it's getting the right tanks into position around 6 minutes before the end of play. On Sea Cliffs, we were a little slow to switch from heavy bombardment with numerous Mortars to the assault squad. That cost us the game - good use of EWV and the Galaxy meant we only had limited success with Artillery and we were still facing a significant force at the endgame. On the Swamp (Down on the Bayou) scenario, we managed to get established at the Objective and keep it. Grouping up each wave of tanks so that we never went it alone, and good comms meant that we could pin a player down with one tank and hit it from the side with another. On Black Canyon, we were victims of a masterstroke - a cutter drop fest at our base by the enemy just at the point we wiped the enemy base off the map. Nicely timed and no chance of a real response before the time ran out. Last map I played was Volcanic Deposits (I can't believe we actually played both my maps - woohoo!) and we managed to seize the objective in the dying moments but we were about 30 seconds too late to get the win. All in all, great stuff. Average player count was 9 human players, which made for intense, complex battles. Props to ThePhantom for murdering me multiple times in the Swamp, and to Jung for excellent strategies. And thanks to Clay for turning up to play with the Upstarts. We look forward to the Dev vs Upstarts match Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jalinth Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Any chance of their being room for another player next week? I was rather busy today to say the least, but next Sunday I should be free to dance.

ClaytoniousRex Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 We would love to have you next time, Jalinth. The server did hit max players at one point this time, but only for a short while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junglist Posted October 18, 2006 Author Share Posted October 18, 2006 Ding-dong, tick-tock, come Sunday who's ready to rock? Just in case the Devs get the courage up to face us this Sunday we (the Upstarts) need to firm up our line-up. Based on last Sunday's participants, cross-referenced with the original Upstarts posters, the line-up as I understand it is: Nexus, Phantom, Iceman, Sabot, and myself. There were a few others who also expressed interest in playing. Unless I'm mistake we max at six, leaving one space open. Upstarts, if Clay can rally his troops, please sound off following his announcement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poesel Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Clay, it may be a good idea to up the max numbers of players (but leave the bots at 6) so noone is left out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
