Welcome to the next ranked MMG clan session hosted by veloxx123. Game hosted sunday, March 29 at 6pm GMT (7pm Central European Time, 1pm EST).

Platform: PC
Game: Team deathmatch
Server: MMG clan session

As usual will we include maps from the participating players. Let us know if you wish to play and include your map. The final list of maps will be posted here.

Clan members will be allowed to include at least one map in the rotation.

Players are kindly asked to download the maps before the game if possible, for the sake of speed.

I plan on participating, but may be 'in and out' for this event-I also have a sunday event planned...evey sunday is SciFi Sunday on .UbernerdServer. This runs about 12pm EST (5pm GMT) until it basically quiets down for the night. I need to keep an eye on things there, especially during these special events.

As I said though, I will definitely be there, and I will only run 1 server instead of 2 until its done.

Id like to include Fallout v3.1 for now, but may very well be finished with my latest project by then, in which case I'll want that one up instead. I will keep you posted on the matter.

Edit: you also may want to keep just a couple threads on the MMG clan, to save a little space on the first page of the forums here. Thats what I did with UberNerdServer, made one thread that constantly gets updated with rotation info and general communication involving the server. This allows people advertising their maps to keep them up on Pg 1 for a longer time, increasing exposure. Do what you wish, its a free forum for all to use, just a bit of advice for you. Keep on supporting the game!

Great - we'll put Fallout in the rotation.

Regarding the threads: My own experience is that it usually leads to confusion when you are dealing with several issues in one thread. One topic per topic is often better. My hope was rather that the things that are no longer of interest (like today's Frag Fest) fall quickly down the list and into oblivion. And then the stuff that is valid for a longer time can be bumped up. I don't mind a rapidly changing 1st page - what I dislike are the discussions that go on for 10 pages, often covering several different issues.

But, we're all different.

Id like to include The Siege

And Kev, do you have 2 servers? :O Whats the name of the other one?

Well said, I tend to delete and edit a lot, but you are correct when you say it can create confusion. It is also kind of annoying to have to delete several of your posts in one thread because they are no longer valid. (I have been doing this w/ the UberNerdServer thread.)

I only mentioned it because it has been a subject of discussion in the past, both here and on xfire. I figured I'd throw it out there for ya

Anyway, I look forward to the session this weekend, and hopefully will have that new map done by tonght!

[darius1962]

The Siege will be included.

The game on Sunday is getting closer (6pm GMT). It's open for everyone - but clan members get priority.

To all of you who plan to join (and haven't submitted a map): The map makers will all be playing and they are more than happy to receive your feedback. That's an important part of improving the maps.

However, be specific. Comments like "this map BEEPs" will fall under the only rule we have -don't insult the other players. Say what the problem is, "don't like the large empty space in front of our base", "too low fps, lag", "too many positions for snipers" etc. The map maker is working to give all FC2 players a good time. Help him out.

As I said - the map makers love to get your feedback, but don’t complain about problems that are consequences of your limited skills in moving your avatar. For example, all map makers provide places to get out of the water – but it may not be the exact spot where you fell in. You can jump up on most objects, like barges. Find the hand and press E.

Some maps reward players who are skilled at moving. There might be a tower you can climb, but take the wrong step and you die. One map contains a deep elevator shaft – and the experienced player realizes that he can jump down the shaft with touch-n-go on the platforms and is down in less than 2 sec. Other maps reward players skilled in hang gliding.

In some maps you may think that you have gotten trapped in some tight spot, but you will never get stuck in the maps we rotate. There is always a way out. Don’t blame the map – improve your skills.

And again - don't insult the other players. If some BEEPhole keeps shooting at you with an mgl, then sneak up on him and shoot him in the back. Don't start a chat, informing him what you would like to do with his mother.

Have good game on sunday!

Another well said post Darius! s for the MGL, i took on someone, 1 on 1, with my spas/uzi loadout. He had an MGL....I won the match. Sure, the score was only 1-0, but the pint is, I won and he couldnt even kill me once with that thing.

Anyway, I finished Lunar Lunacy Beta and would like to see that one up first and foremost. I ahve aleady tested it and got great reviews, except for 2 lag complaints out of maybe 50 players total. No one else joined in the complaining, so I believe this was just a case where they need to upgrade their rigs. That is very annoying, people with the wal mart special and an archaic GPU complaining that they cant play!

[darius1962]

Good to hear about your win against the mgl guy.

Does this mean that Lunar Lunacy Beta is ready to be downloaded by us and included in rotation - or will you republish before sunday?
