TONIGHT!

The pig did it... I'll be there!

Yay! We went through 39 maps, it was really nice with a minimum of 2v2 and a maximum of 3v3

EDIT: I wanted to post before sky_lark huheuhe

sky_lark came 28 minutes late: 15 minute late for showing up late, plus another 13 minute late for sky_lark having trouble setting up server?

Anyway, this was played for a little over 2 hours, and over 30 games played. Note that at least 1 map was skipped.

Thanks to everyone who came! I had a blast and it was fun to finally finish a full playlist. There were 39 levels in rotation with 2 skipped, but I won't count those against us because they weren't appropriate for the rotation and shouldn't have been included at all.

I apologize for my tardiness. I like to start parties a little late usually to let latecomers trickle in. That way people get to enjoy the levels at the start. However this time I was definitely more late than usual, I ran into some issues with the server setup and was also editing the playlist at the last minute. Sorry about all that and I'll make an effort to start the party sooner next week!

One thing that might help would be to put the server up and have a waiting room of some sort. On some events, I'd put in a weird map that can't possibly be won in 10-15 minutes and that has the text of WAITING ROOM in it (and named it 000_waiting.level or something to guarantee it's the first map when starting the server). You can also set the level timer to coincide with when the event would start.

You can even set the server up really early and password protect it, then remove the password (with '/setserverpass' and empty password) a few minutes before the event begins.

Just an idea.

Thanks for hosting these events sky_lark!

hmm you may need to port foward if you are not for a better connectiion.

Yea, I don't know what's up with that. It seems to work sometimes and fail other times. I'll try to fix it for next party but no guarantees. Basic rule of thumb though, if you see servers with Ping 999 in red, try them just in case people are playing!

good news the PIG of a problem of ping timed out servers will be fixed in version 20. so the fun partys can RAIN down BOW down to raptor and wattisimo for there hard work!
