Subsim tactical gaming

Arclight · 08-28-10, 01:11 PM

Right, so we've been thinking: might be nice to get a group together for some gaming. We've already got the Lolwaffles for Il-2 and SSC for ArmA going here, so maybe we can expand into some new territory.

Focus goes to more realistic games, first person shooters mainly, Red Orchestra for example. Something like Men of War (real-time strategy) gets my vote as well, but haven't really discussed it yet.

The idea is not to form a strict group, just to make some connections between people so you know there's always someone or several people you know you can play a game with. Personally I'm not (or was not) that big on MP: I just started exploring that as I made some friends here on SS really. Seems that all too often you just get stuck with the wrong poeple if you don't know anyone.

Before nailing down times and a name, let's gage if there's any interest. So, feel free to comment on the idea. Any thoughts and suggestions are welcome.

Actually, I'm sure Dowly has some brilliant suggestions for a name.

What manner of conspiracy is this?!

He wants Subsim Seamen Samples. I didn't want to force poeple into it, so I said he was in charge of naming. He refuses to pick.

Impasse ensues.

I think Subsim Seamen Samples is a wonderful name!
