Post by: DuVeL on January 25, 2006, 05:32:46 PM
From a few people I've heard that they like to rank also but can't find any decent servers with any teamplay or so.
So, is anyone up for a RankedServerRaid (RSR) this Sunday, Januari the 29th?
We'll have to find an empty server and start playing and see what'll happen.

Suggestions are welcome.

TIME SUGGESTIONS ANYONE?
Meet on forum, x-fire and TS.
Attendees:
DuVeL
Dewey
OldBloke
Blunt
ThePENDRAGON
Doorman
outofsync
Carr0t
Toxteth
BIG-Glen
ThePENDRAGON
Snooks

12 people so far. We'll see about the server on Sunday. All use Xfire please. TeamSpeak not needed because getting 12 people in one team is to difficult.

I'm playing from earlier on but I'll go with the lot of you. When/where and what can be decided after more people display their interest.

I've just finished an hour of ranking :wacko:

I reckon, with a proper teamwork squad, the bunny/dolphin types wouldn't stand a chance...
they all seem to run off in all directions :blink:
I joined a squad of 2 & we were soon 5+...it was very loose teamwork, in as much as they spawned on the SL and said "thanks" when revived :P
I stuck with my SL, finished off the bunnies he'd half killed, then revived him and off we'd go again. :rolleyes:

If we get enough interest for 2 squads, would it be possible for the SLs to use Teamspeak?

so...err....count me in :dribble:

Sounds like a posse of dMw desperadoes ride into town and beat up on the locals. Too good to miss :D

I like that analogy Doorman  :D  and Blunts idea of using TS is a good one.

sounds like a great idea. I play on FMJS quite often which is a 32 player ranked server (85.236.101.26) and it rotates urban maps only and wake island.

Post by: Carr0t on January 25, 2006, 10:48:00 PM
I'm up for that, yessireee :)

EDIT: Except for picking the missus up from the trains tation at about 8.

The only problem is if I ever decide to request (and then manage to get) Bravo membership i'll have to start all over again :( Or has someone got the tags working for DMW now?

Good news. How did they go? In fact ignore that question just come back and enjoy yourself :D

I hope the exams went well.

It looks like we have quit a few people interested. I've edited the first post. Does anyone have a good time suggestion? Place your preferd time please.
If someone would like another day, suggestions are welcome. The Sunday is a gaming day for me usual so that's why I suggested it.

The only problem I can see is team balancing, isn't it fairly unlikely that we'll all get on the same side if we all join the server at the same time?

I suggest 6pm.

Post by: big-paddy on January 26, 2006, 09:18:37 AM
I'll get on at some point and I'll come looking for you all.

Team balancing - well to make our presence less annoying we could have a team on each side?
Title: -=[dMw]=-RankedServerRaid
Post by: DuVeL on January 26, 2006, 09:27:57 AM
Teams on both sides. Anything goes except Baser*ping at untakeable bases.
What do you gusy think...

That way we know we've got some good combatants to fight *against* too, because the enemy you're taking on makes it fun (almost) as much as the people you're playing with.

BTW: Teamspeak. I am a total newb on this subject. I've found the download page, but as i'm at work I can't really test it right now. How easy is it to setup and use, and are we using this *instead* of the in-game chat?

It's quit easy to set up but using it I'm still not sure of. Better to use the ingame-chat as we might be on different sides.

I've never ranked in my life (the hairy palms and bad eyesight are genetic, honest!!  :blush: ) might be a fun outing and also expose us to the way the game is played everywhere else.

Count me in.  :dribble:

K, I'll be playing from now on. My Xfire is on so visit me there.
I think we'll raid a public with 32 players, depending which one we can find and one which has all the maps.

Only me, Glen, OB amd Carrot were together on a server, must say it was fun though (although very short).
