This weekend is particularly good for me. When is it beginning, in Sydney time?

Um...if you can convert Pacific Standard time to yours, a good time for me is...never mind, my job doesn't start for a while, so any time.

Right, all you ragamuffins!

This Saturday seems okay for people, so this Saturday it is. The 18th of October.

NO set time, since people are all over the world. Use the steam group chat to check if anyone wants a game, and just all bundle on the server.

I won't be able to attend (RAF adventure training), so play nice. There will be admins ;p.

Also, don't be afraid to seed the server for a bit, then drag some other people in using steam.

Three cheears, sah!
Hip Hip Hourah!

For those wondering about TimeZones, I am in GMT (The middle one).
Look along the bottom to see your time in relation to me. Click the spoiler to see the Image.

For some reason, the server has been stuck on an arena mapcycle... Should be fixed now though.

I'm a bit late to the party (and new to the forums), but my ID is whiters925 (Screen name: Rofl Harris)

Anyone mind if i sign up?

Finally! Let's TF2!

so can my friend come in too?

MMMMMfffff mmmmf mmmmmmf!
*removes gasmask*
And it's the first Saturday I have off...I shall be honing my back-burning skills. :)

I think I'll probably go on a friend request rampage if I can be bothered, so if you're added by I fellow with the Steam ID of Commisar Woogle then don't be afraid! it's just me.

Plus I guess it'll help me if you add me too.

I shall see you (and hopefully vanquish you) tomorrow :D

I won't be taking part, I've got other things to do. Tomorrow seemed good for everybody else though, so I'm dumping admin on someone else.

Well, given our spread across the globe, how about 5pm GMT..which converts back to Noon EST?

That gives our American friends time to watch the Saturday Morning Cartoons before becoming barbeque. :) [Mainly because us Brits will have been on it for about 5 hours :)]

can we keep the server perma-open. I only have integrated on my steam PC and I am not getting a new graphics card until the end of november

dammit, I had the opportunity to go to my dad's too, but now I'm stuck at my mom's with the bad computer. If I play, don't blame me for sucking it up.

Nice little test run this evening...re-spawn times are a little long though.

They didn't seem too long to me...and anyway, too-short respawn times lead to endless stalemates. The delay is important.

Man i can't wait to 'Sap some sentrys'

Me mate and I would be down, Coziestpigeon and Gutsyturtle

Definitely be on tonight.I wish Danny gave the Steam Group admin to someone before he left so we could "ping" the event again when the majority of people will be online.

We did have the yellow team on last night though :)

So what's the time we decided upon? 5PM GMT(ie: Noon in USA)?

THE GAME IS NOW ON.

Anyone not playing officially is now a loser. ;)

Loser due to work then? Well at least I'm being paid for my Saturday.

Is the game still going on? My ID is Archangelofpainx. I'd be glad to show you how to effeciently blow shit up! MAGGOT! :3

Hooray! Hooray for TF2!

So am I, I'm on paid holiday leave. :)

Server looks empty...is it over already? I only just got up! :P

Jeez, over already? That's weak...

Wow...hows about every Saturday? or Sunday? but not so early, I had to be on my computer at 9 a.m. to play, plus my job starts on Saturdays next week...so a later time maybe?

Also, make respawn times shorter. Please.
Or adjust them to the current amount of players.

I just wish someone had mentioned it was going to be so early, and that it would last less than 4 hours...not much of an "extravaganza", really.

Any chance of another round tomorrow, or next weekend?

It was short, but it was good.

I taunt killed someone. :D

Also, I think the steam group should have more admins, cause we had to use the group chat room to inform everyone that it was starting and that was a pain.

Oh, and a little trivial, but the server's set to party mode at the moment (party hats, present gibs, etc).

EDIT: also, I'm going to make some Escapist themed sprays, I already have a few ideas:
The Escapist logo in the RED and BLU colours
"nobody expects the yellow team"
the ZP imp...thing.
any other suggestions? (nothing inappropriate please).

To whoever wasn't there, know that I was unstopable.
To those who were, shush.

I built a sentry the wrong way around. Then got killed by it. I didn't much sleep last night, what can I say?

Going with the De-Rez Episode, you should also add a picture of a Pyro Mask with a caption 'I can't be believe you fell for it again! Its just a piece of cardboard!.I'd love to torment Root of all Evil or Woogle every time I sap their sentries :P

I'll get right on it.

by the way, Woogle was me!

Ah...you were actually doing really well Woogle. Sorry we couldn't give you all the support for your buildings.

I'd also ask that the re-spawn time (Currently on about 15-20 seconds) is dropped as it makes low population defence almost impossible)

And I enjoyed toasting Phoenix's sniper in the airducts :)

The real problem is the split of people. I chose 5pm GMT because it caught the far side of America and the late night Aussies; but having a Steam message pop-up was probably the best way to inform people.

The party-presents mod could be eliminated though.

OH...and major Kudos to the Red Team on Granary (I think) who were backed into the last spawn point for most of the game before rallying in sudden death to take the entire game back. Awesome +.
