Kinda want to get a game started
« on: June 05, 2010, 09:46:09 pm »
Ok I'm looking for someone to start a game with.  Be warned, i suck, and I'm looking for someone else to suck with me.  I'm not very experienced, so i just wouldn't want to piss off someone who's actually really good.  Umm My time zone is EDT i think, if that exists...it's about 9:45 pm right now here lol.  I would usually be free most nights.  Looking to play between about 10 pm and like 12.  I prooobably wouldn't be able to play like EVERY night, because i'm in summer school, but most nights would be fine.

Hey, I'm a mediocre player too!  I'm in -6 GMT, US Central, so we aren't far off.  Currently, myself and a little possy of Steam users are gathering together to get a game started sometime soon (potentially, tonight).  I'll be on around 8 tonight, I think (7:00 for you).  If you want to join in a bunch of people, I'm sure the more experienced lot wouldn't mind having a newbie.

Hope you get this in time.  Add me on steam, if you have it.  Koffee510.  If tonight totally fails, I'd be up for a game in your available time as well.

Not *really*, but it's an order of magnitude easier to coordinate a large-scale game with Steam than with various IRCs, vent servers, these forums...it seems to be the medium we use to do that.  You can get one easily, it's free and such, and seems more common than, say, Xfire.

Go for it!  This game may get too big and fail just because of sheer player size, but it might work.  If that doesn't work, I'd go for a game with anyone in this thread.

Long story short, Steam is a hero.

looks like we're trying to meet around 8:00 PM at -6 GMT, so that's 6:00 where you are.  We don't have any consistent schedule planned out yet, moreso just trying to see if we can rally a crowd to get something started. 

I think I'm gonna be a bit late, though.  We haven't even really determined if we're actually starting the game today, either :p.  Mainly seeing if we can rally.

Also, if you do get steam, PM or post your Steam ID, and join the AI War group (the group chat is a decent place to meet the occasional fellow AI War player)

Ok, my steam is 'Dmdunn'

Do I have to have purchased AI War through Steam?

I can play, my time zone is EST and I can play basically from 8pm to about 1am. My steam account is pvhoof. I am kinda a noob also, I have only played 1 game against AIs over level 7, though I have played many games below that. Just so there's no conflicts between ship types at the beginning of the match, I would prefer having MLRS or Z Polarizer ships, but other than that I'm good with anything.
