Weekends are always best, but what's a good weekend to do it on? Is there no special holiday? The only best bet was last weekend which was labour day weekend for us Canadians :V

DX7.EP · « **Reply #661 on:** September 09, 2013, 03:09:32 AM »

That was also the case for the Americans down here. :V

Not sure of any good weekends, but I will say that AWA time's easily the worst option. Especially for those of us going there.

I'm pretty much open for anytime; timezones withstanding. My only request is that it not be the first weekend of October (Fri 4th - Sun 6th), as I'll be away then.

But other then that, I'm up for anything! :3

EDIT: Completely legitimate meeting material!

Do that on a smaller map, with less areas to hide in... and that would be hilarious! XD

And maybe not as many, or we just might overload the sever~ :V

Well, that time is coming closer to schedule a meet time for our annual Scream Fortress event. Should probably start thinking of that now to get people prepared. I'm open pretty much any time at the moment, though I don't get back from classes till around 6 PM PDT, so by normal meet times, I'd probably be late. Weekends are free.

DX7.EP · « **Reply #667 on:** October 18, 2013, 08:05:34 PM »

Yeah, we're thinking about that.

Gpop · « **Reply #668 on:** October 18, 2013, 08:06:59 PM »

well I was thinking two options.

Next weekend (24th - 26th) or the halloween-ish weekend, 31st to November 2nd?

DX7.EP · « **Reply #669 on:** October 18, 2013, 08:16:47 PM »

Probably both, why not, in case some cannot make one or want more of their screaming fix.

Yukarin · « **Reply #670 on:** October 19, 2013, 02:45:58 AM »

Sounds good. Either way I'm free so yea.

Delfigamer · « **Reply #671 on:** October 20, 2013, 06:21:22 AM »

Hey guys, what ping time may be reasonable for TF2?
Last time, when I played UT with Alliterator, 1000+ms were absolutely unbearable. :smokedcheese:

UPD
Hm...

Yukarin · « **Reply #672 on:** October 20, 2013, 11:26:08 AM »

360ms (which is what I play with whenever I play with people here) is tolerable, at least for hitscan guns like the Amby and the Scattergun, and also for backstabs. There's a 1 second delay on the "shoot" and the "hit"

Anything other than hitscan is near-impossible to hit.

DX7.EP · « **Reply #673 on:** October 20, 2013, 11:37:29 PM »

~200ms seems appropriate for a RU -> eastern US connection.

Gpop · « **Reply #674 on:** October 23, 2013, 07:03:13 PM »

Well there's still no update on Scream Fortress so if we do it this weekend we won't be getting the event (also I dunno if I'll be around either as I got midterms these two days, and I'll be away on Saturday most likely).

DX7.EP · « **Reply #675 on:** October 23, 2013, 08:16:42 PM »

Gotta wait on Valve Time as usual ~

If nothing occurs this weekend then move things to next.

Agent of the BSoD · « **Reply #676 on:** October 23, 2013, 11:38:00 PM »

According to the days they started the previous Scream Fortress events, they were on the 29th, two on the 27th, and on the 26th. If they keep up this pattern, we may not get one for this week.

Freyband · « **Reply #677 on:** October 24, 2013, 07:28:06 AM »

All the way to October 36th? I think my calendar needs an upgrade. :V Sadly I work tuesday-saturday through normal meet times, so I probably won't be able to attend if it's normal days/time. Hope you all will have fun though!

same 8pm EST / 20:00 GMT-4 time

Still right?
Then it may be problematic for me to play during other weekdays besides American Saturday, because my school starts at 01:00 GMT.
Stupid timezones.

DX7.EP · « **Reply #679 on:** October 24, 2013, 02:53:26 PM »

On the subject of timezones, differences between EU Summer Time and US/CA DST will also come into play, as the former ends a week earlier. EU players will need to adjust accordingly for next week.

Agent of the BSoD · « **Reply #680 on:** October 27, 2013, 12:26:12 AM »

Welp, these 3 days definitely didn't happen. Guess we'll aim for next week. :V

DX7.EP · « **Reply #681 on:** October 27, 2013, 12:28:47 AM »

Hopefully it will have been worth the ~~weight~~ wait ~

Delfigamer · « **Reply #682 on:** October 28, 2013, 08:49:42 AM »

Now tell for a n00b: am I really supposed to go online Sunday 0:00 GMT?

Agent of the BSoD · « **Reply #683 on:** October 29, 2013, 10:36:19 PM »

Of all maps they halloweenified, they chose hightower. Watch yer heads!

Also, crossbow got a buff, now reloads silently like the flare gun.

It's time, friends who enjoy hats and war-themed hat simulators.

Messiah · « **Reply #685 on:** October 30, 2013, 01:26:19 AM »

Why do I think that this will be the mini sentry get together event?

DX7.EP · « **Reply #686 on:** October 30, 2013, 02:28:38 AM »

I thought that was at least 45% of what our meets are made up of already!

Agent of the BSoD · « **Reply #687 on:** October 30, 2013, 06:14:29 PM »

Schedule changed. I'm probably not going to make the Oct. 31st meet. I should make the other two though.

DX7.EP · « **Reply #688 on:** October 30, 2013, 08:19:31 PM »

I'm not sure as to my availability on Halloween night either, but will try.

Quick note: The randomly spawning halloween gift packs require a quickplay-enabled server - which we can do at the cost of nocrits, respawntimes, and (nope this isn't happening) removing the server password to make it public. Therefore you will have to go to other servers for those.

Gpop · « **Reply #689 on:** October 30, 2013, 08:29:01 PM »

I should be available that day unless my friend suddenly invites me over to his place with shitty internet :V
