Author Topic: Weekly Pickup (Read 25762 times)

Pickups will be held every 8 days so we cycle through all the days of the week hopefully giving everyone a chance to play.

Next pickup: Thursday, June 16th, 9:00PM EST

We talked about this some on IRC, but a few weeks have passed and it hasn't happened yet, so I'm starting it now, officially.

First pickup was Wednesday, Feb. 23rd, 9:00PM EST.

What's a pickup game? Well, it's kind of like pub "the way it was meant to be played." Preassigned teams, ffire on, good maps, match-style competition, but without the seriousness of a real match. We'll assign teams in #pbpickup on irc.enterthegame.com. If you can't get on IRC, post here and I'll PM you the password.

Is the first one on wed or are you just spacing them far apart?

jitspoe · « **Reply #2 on:** February 20, 2005, 02:58:36 PM »

This will be the first one, this Wednesday.

Yucky.

The days and time will change from week to week to accomodate different schedules/time zones. It's not possible to make everyone happy at once, sorry.

Yes it is. Just give them drugs and tell them they're having fun.

DAMIEN · « **Reply #8 on:** February 23, 2005, 07:51:35 PM »

wut time would that be on the west coast jits?

jitspoe · « **Reply #9 on:** February 24, 2005, 12:55:54 AM »

Subtract 3 hrs, so 6PM. Next week's pickup will be Thursday, May 3rd, 9PM EST, (6PM for you west-coasters).

Sorry, Rohypnol, but I can't do anything earlier on the weekdays because of work. We'll do some weekend matches at some point, though. Feel free to organize your own if you want.

ffire is almost as entertaining as the new gun jamming feature...

Eiii · « **Reply #11 on:** March 03, 2005, 07:44:24 AM »

They both prevent spraying and camping...

jitspoe count me in please i am off in 40 min. will be home at 830 cst please email me pc.

jitspoe · « **Reply #14 on:** March 04, 2005, 04:07:06 PM »

Time for next week's? Maybe just keep moving it up 1 day? Friday at say 10:00pm EST?

Any other suggestions?

I wonder if it might be better to keep a consistent date, ie: always 9:00 on Wednesday... That would probably make it less confusing and easier for everyone to meet, but would exclude some people all the time.

loial21 · « **Reply #15 on:** March 04, 2005, 05:21:52 PM »

first suggestion ..make sure there is someon on irc to post password , thanks mr. bigt

second why not take a vote on map list

Eiii · « **Reply #16 on:** March 04, 2005, 06:35:43 PM »

I say we make it every 8 days. Sometimes at 9EST, 10EST, 8 EST...

jitspoe · « **Reply #17 on:** March 04, 2005, 07:25:31 PM »

We need suggestions before we can vote... Also, it depends a bit on the player turnout. If we have like 9v9 we obviously need larger maps that can accomodate that kind of volume.

loial21 · « **Reply #18 on:** March 04, 2005, 08:26:04 PM »

that is correct so get started with a suggestions let me start lazy man

jitspoe · « **Reply #19 on:** March 04, 2005, 09:33:05 PM »

Hmm, here's a few more: roundup, sphouse, encounter (though the middle flag kind of screws up the flagcapendsround), halfpipe, jump, midnight, midevil, mirror, palmtreea, sassult, siegecastle, ub_rooftop, pball_shreds1.

And, of course, the ones we've already played: hellsurvivors, brainstorm, castle1, summer, midnight2.
