Thought I would get this thread up nice and quick.
The game goes into beta tuesday, so not sure what that will mean for us come thursday, but I am sure we can sort something out!
Pop your name down if you're coming along for the explosively embarrassing ride. :roflmao:
8:00pm kick off as per usual :)

Why Thursdays? I can't make Thursday nights :(

Been thinking about possibility of moving the day we play, I still think for the moment and until full release that we keep it on Thursday. As we had good numbers for the last few weeks. Yes I know not everyone can make it but if we change it then others cant make it. So based on I cant please everyone, I have made this choice.
If in the future it changes then so be it and we will look again when this game is released.

Just quoting what toby said mate, :/ He is the boss man I am just making the threads 'cause I am a keeno :)
i'll be there, also how about putting it to a vote what night we arma?
From what I've heard we're not moving the date at the moment. Of course as soon as we can host a permanent server people can play any night they like. I'll certainly not be limiting my time to just Thursday night.

its ok snooks, john cant make Thursday either, but he will play on sundays when we have a server, i still think sundays were better though.
I can make any night work fine for me. Just sticking with what the bosses say :D
And I think beta is bringing dedicated server support? Not sure :s
Also faust told me he is gonna join us thursday, so I added him to the list :)
Thursday, Sunday, any of them work for me.
You are 'allowed' to play on more than one night, it's not against the rules :rolleyes:
If people are around and want to play on Sunday night then that's great, host a game and go for it. The same goes for Thursday. It's not a case or one or the other or an either/or.
Currently, there's a group of us who like to play on Thursday night. Equally, I'm sure there's a group who want to play on Sunday and there's a group who want to do both. If no one turns up on Sunday night to play then you have your answer. Similarly, if no one turns up on a Thursday night it's the same.
Currently we have officially adopted Thursday night to play but, as with every other game we play, people are free to play as and when they want.
Sulky, if you want to start a similar thread to Ben 'Colonel' Chaos touting for business for a game on Sunday night then go for it but randomly saying
Quotestill think sundays were better though.
doesn't really help. Start a thread, see who bites and get a game going :)
PEN.
(Ps. So that there's no doubt, I claim a conflict of interest as I can't play Sundays).
So Sunday it is then ;)

helpful as always.
Aye. Seriously though as soon as we can get a damned persistent server up we'll be good to go and as stated any night can be Arma night. We did try to run two official nights with Arma 2 (Tuesday and Sunday) and I wonder if we didn't suffer from Arma overload. I certainly felt obligated to attend both nights. I'm not sure what Toby has in mind as his final master plan but a single 'official night' would be my suggestion, with people free to play or map test on any night they fancied.
The choice for Thursday was mainly due down to the number of people that could make it, along with some vocal members asking week after week. After looking into it I found at the time that we had more people playing on the Thursday than the Sunday. Also as Thursday is mid week, people where not going to be away for the weekend so much due to the summer time. I am always looking at this and trying to figure out what is the best day for our Supporting Members and Members alike. Also what also works with my Real Life.
I am not against people stating that a evening is not great for the or they cant, it helps me with planning. If you dont want to post you can always PM me. But to keep on after I have already looked into it, sorry it hasn't worked out but that is how it is atm. I can not please everyone :( I wish I could.
As Smilo pointed out we did do 2 nights a week, and I am changing this to 1 night a week. Where we all get together and get a good run at a mission.
We played Arma OA twice week for over a year and half. And we did all get burnt out.
When we have the server up and running people can be using everyday but I will not be expecting any admins or myself to be on there if it is not the official night. If they are great and you can always contact one of us to help with server bits, changing maps etc as you have always been able to any day through the week.
The likely choices of the days are going to be Sunday, Tuesday or Thursday, Thursday we are encroaching on LFS night, and if that becomes a issue we will look at it.
So when the beta is out and when we have more information I WILL throw up a poll if I feel necessary and I WILL post up and announce the change.
But please remember at the moment we are running this of one of our personal machines and I cant always say we will have a good enough rig every Thursday. I make sure before just posting up that we will have a rig we can connect to. I love the enthusiasm guys but we have to make sure we can supply a decent server before posting up.
So I hope that answers some of your questions about why we are on a Thursday for the moment. What is going to be looked at when we get a server up and running.
ooooooooh the power. I love it.
And, actually, quite right. it's your call and your call alone. Making these hard decisions is what we don't pay you for.
However, I can't help thinking that you're just taking it out on us as you got didn't get to win The Voice:

Haha I didn't think of this! I am too keen for my own good.
Dont worry mate it all good but it great your so in to the game, and from what I hear a good leader as well :)
I can't get enough. When my academic year finishes I'm going to get into making some missions for us ;) Anything else I can do to help out with the game let me know mate.
Just occurred to me that neither I nor OB will be able to play on Thursday as we're off to Ches TeaLeaf for the Friday free practice of the F1 Grand Prix on Thursday night.
Put our forgetfulness down to advancing years :-)

Herro.
Count me in for Thursday, I'll have my supplies of Calpol and Thundercats sticking plasters ready in Smilo's absence.
I'm not around Thursday now guys sorry, I forgot I have a friend visiting and will most likely be here most of the evening
I should be around on Thursday now but can't say for definite.
I am doubtful for this as on hols and might be going out. Sorry

Sorry all but something out there in the cold real world has pulled me away and I won't be able to make it tonight. Hope you lot get a game going and have some painful fun. See you all next week!
How many people do we actually have for tonight? 4?
Is it worth postponing until next week?
I think it might be best to, if people are around the fine go for it. But I dont want people waiting around thinking there will be a game if not.
I'll hang around in TeamSpeak and see who shows up - if we don't get enough to run a decent mission I'll call it off.
Thanks mate :)
yuuuuuuuuuppppppp!
Currently hanging around in teamspeak... Feeling lonely :p
I'm happy to host a game tonight, but if there are any custom missions you want to play you'll need to upload them somewhere for me.
I had fun tonight. Will definitely be back for more Arma later on :D
Lots of people in the end :)
GG's.

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks to everyone who took part in the end, we actually managed to achieve most of our objectives!
Especially the small tin shed which Oldie blasted back into the stone age. Nice work Oldie.
I'm still not happy that Oldie didn't stay to check the fuses. What if it hadn't gone off? Someone would have had to return and that would be dangerous. As the 'explosives expert' he should have gone up with the shed. Lack of commitment right there.
I might knock up a standard random mission tonight. Clear town. Go here. Shouldn't take too long.

Cheers Benny, that would be ace. I thought the Armaholic mission we played last night was pretty good too.
It was just needed a single squad and a bit of tweaking.

Did you not play the one we have the past few weeks? I tweaked that to only have 1 squad
No mate the Arma beta had made changes so your map needs a little beta changes :(
