Weekly MP Games

fatty · 02-05-07, 04:20 PM

Firstly, I realize I should have posted this in the Multiplayer Matchup subforum but I am always overlooking threads there so I assume some of you do as well. Secondly, as a new member I am kind of jumping blindly into this so please forgive me if I am backtracking here.

Basically, I am getting really fed up with the loonies on GameSpy (with some exceptions

) and I want to get some of you oh so brilliant minds together on a regular basis to play some Dangerous Waters.

I realize there are lots of virtual fleets out there but I am not interested in the politics or the stringent regulations. I just want to spend an afternoon having fun. If there are some really competitive players interested maybe we can post results or AARs.

I am up to hosting games and providing missions. As far as mods, I would like to use LWAMI but I guess we can leave it up to a vote. Dates and times would depend on group consensus.

So who's game?

Id like to also, if i can figure out how to do the whole multiplayer thing...

The CADC (Commanders Academy and Dive Center) graciously hosted by OneShot is THE place to be for organizing DW games.

Give it a look guys.

I'm going to be pretty busy until next Wed, but after that I'll probably be back in the swing of things, especially LW manages to get his mod where he wants it to be for awhile.

CADC isn't getting much traffic right now, but I would suggest that if we can build up a core group here to use the tools at CADC to set up matches. It worked really well for Furia.

I've been there. Not much activity. We'll see what kind of interest we can scrape up around here first

LuftWolf · 02-05-07, 05:41 PM

The biggest problem the CADC faces right now is the fact that the vBulletin records were lost for the last year when the primary owner went AWOL (he's on deployment in the Navy, P-3's), so MUCH work on the part of its members was lost interms of keeping the site up to date with the latest information and tactics in DW.

Most of what is posted there now is pre-DW 1.03 and pre-LWAMI.

What I'd ask of Oneshot is to simply archive what is there now and perhaps ask a group of about 10 of us to completely redo all the information. The workload could easily be divided between such a group, and if everyone covers their assignment by going over a couple of subject areas, we could get the site off the ground again and then the posts would sustain themselves from there.

I'm very interested to hear everyone's thoughts about such a thing. All we really need is 10 people who will do what they say they will do.

Cheers,
David

Your first assignment is to check your PMs and get back to me on if that chart is accurate. Also, let me know when you've finalized all the speed changes in the next mod editions and whether you've made any adjustments to keep the PSL the same after the change.

Then I'll post the new chart to the reference charts thread. :p

LW, you know I don't like sloppy seconds. Well, maybe if I'm only second it won't be sloppy. But don't make me be third or I'll be really mad...unless you're really a girl. Then third is fine.

fatty · 02-07-07, 10:00 AM

C'mon, a hundred views and only two are interested? I know you're out there!

LuftWolf · 02-08-07, 11:20 AM

How about this Saturday in the afternoon EST?

We'll pick the scenario based on the number of players interested, hopefully something some people haven't played a many times over. Although that having been said OKO's maps are fabulously replayable, and I'm sure it's been a while for most of us.

Hell, I haven't played in almost (maybe over) a year. Anyone around tonight?

Cheers,
David

fatty · 02-08-07, 06:34 PM

Saturday is grand, do you have any specific time in mind? I'm free all day.

Madman_GNSF · 02-08-07, 07:53 PM

In GNSF (Global Naval Strike Force) we have several people that play everyday. Also on weekends we get even more activity.

Yes you do have to sign up - and report at least 1 mission per month. But having the ability to pop online at almost anytime and find someone to play with is worth any troubles a Virtual Navy may have, to me anyways.

Also, the competition is great. Especially if you enjoy sub vs sub. And team sub vs subs.

If your interested , see www.globalnavalstrikeforce.com

Thanks

Ill be there, count me in, mates:p

fatty · 02-09-07, 08:31 PM

All right, well, let's aim to get together at 1 PM EST. I'll be happy to host and will post my IP here shortly before the game. If nobody has any objections we will use the latest LWAMI. Tell your friends, should be awesome!
