I’m trying to organize a large 4/5 player game for this weekend, starting on Friday and continuing on as needed.

It’s my intention to do this at MSN Zone as the connection will be much more stable.

I’m not fussed what tech we play at, but in the interests of a nice long game I suggest the following.

T1
Large
Some/None
No random
Irregular

If people want to play teams or free for all I’m not fussed. If someone dominates the game and it ends quickly we can start another, no problems.

These are just my suggestions, I’ll go with consensus.

My MSN ZONE handle is icedg_2, you can add me to your friends list and PM me when your on.

Let me know if your up for it, players of all skill welcome…

count me in!
just give me a date and time, and ill tell you if ill be avaliable. But i should have all my problems fixed by then... too much bypassing and homemade quick fixes....

Of course yes,

The date is Friday 14th October @ from 18:00hrs GMT.

Given time zones and people finishing work etc we might not start straight away, so i'm giving an early start time to refelct that. 1 vs 1's and chat can pass the time while we wait for a group to form.

I would say we should go on a first come first served basis. As soon as we have a group we'll lauch, if someone else arrives they can start a new room or wait for us to finish. Vets of the Zone will know its easy to pick a game up there if you are willing to wait for a while.

i will try but not sure about time coz im in UK (england) so need a time if so!

The time is UK, GMT. 6 o'clock in old money...

I believe that is 12ish Eastern USA time??

sos me being an idot full of cold and not reading the thread propley lol sos yea should be there unless my computor says its going to be a ass agin !!!! have to test it be4 friday!

im up for that. dunno how 2 do it on msn. hopefully some1 can tell me lol

im in. england bloke go here to dl the software you will need.
http://zone.msn.com/en/root/default.htm
login with your msn hotmail account
hit cd-rom
go to the bottm and hit direct play.
skip the add
dl software and goto bottom of page
hit direct play again, you may need to refresh the page to get it to show.

Hmmm...I'm fairly certain I am on the direct opposite side of the planet as you guys. Noon for you is midnight for me. Right now the sun is shinning down on California at 11AM, and the forum default says that it's...yes, 11PM. That's okay though, I'm not sure I could survive against Humans at the moment. Havn't actually play in months, if not years.

im GMT -7, so at that time, ill still be in classes. For me, the best times to play is at like GMT 4:00 and onward. But i cant really play while im in class, so when you schedule a game thats more convienent for me, or saturday/sunday at ANY TIME, just post it or PM me..

I'm hoping that if we get enough people interested we will have groups meeting up at different times.

I will be on all weekend aside from when sleeping (No social engagements for the first time in 6 months!) I'm nostalgic for the old days when the Zone was hammered with a dozen rooms packed with BOTF players! (Not to mention the numerous clans, RSA anyone??)

Anyone have any suggestions as to how we should play??

Im up for that, i'll log onto msn zone bout 6pm, sure i'll be able to figure out how to join a game.

I've added you to MSN Medic.

Still not too late for more to join!!

See you all there at 6:00pm!!

id love to play too since im already having a game tonight but 6pm in the uk is like 1 pm here in Ontario canada where i live..... wich really sucks for me lol

I would say log in anyway, a few people have said similar things and i reckon that as long as one person keeps a room open you'll get a game eventually.

Hello All BOTF Fans

Is there going two be more then one table tonight as
i've foulnd 2 players that have not played for a while
and are very much up for a big game

what time are people going two meet up in Zone

Graeme

18:00hrs GMT, thats 6:00pm UK time.

But TBH, it can be any time, i'm going to host a room at that time but if people are early or late they can just start another room of there own.

ill be online in 7 hours.

I'm on now, sorry i'm late!!

i am now on as well
it is currently... GMT 3:00

seems all you europeans are asleep anyway.... ill be on saturday as well.

i'll be on from 13:30 hrs uk, after work.

my user is General_Nemitor, in case anyone wants it.

So how did the game go guys?

it never, i went to the zone and the only two from here played via ip

I've played 4 games so far???? I'm playing as we speak...

no one was there when i came yesterday except puggsley and another guy, and we didnt get a game in.

i'll be there for the next 3 hours or so, in case someone wants to play a game. current time is GMT 19:00

It's never easy with time differences.

I've gained allot of valuable experience the last two weekends, I’ve learned a great deal about playing at 'impossible' level.

I shall be sticking around at the Zone, if anyone ever wants a game just give me a shout.

Hi all,

I would not mind having a game of BOTF online if anyones up for it. I have never played online before however so I will need some intructions on how to set it up, what mods, patches I need etc.

James Bond

you need the:

1.02 patch
XP (only if you have windows XP) patch
tactical update

but then it still may not work for you. in which ill have to point you at my nice manual on how to make it work.
