THE VWEP
There’s been no word from its creator, and I have had the time to hassle him, so I guess we’ll wait and see. I can tell you that there are a whole bunch of things nearly complete, which I simply haven’t had the time to complete, I’ll make a proper report soon.

I’ve been distracted by a heap of other stuff, and have had to leave the Sessions early for the last few weeks – ouch! I tell ya’s I did check a few hours later (www.quakeservers.net), and saw people playing, and I felt.. happy that the show can indeed go on without me, and yet jealous, like there was an awesome party going on, and I was stuck outside, listening to the music! Anyway, this week I will be there for the FULL SESSION, so I look forward to thrills, spills, and a four hour feast of TF goodness at that Rambunctious Rodeo of the TF world, known as the:

It’s the last Sunday of the month, and you know what that means – ‘Spammadellica’, the time to turn team damage off, and mirror damage off, and let the madness ensue. And of course we have a selection of maps specially chosen as they are have some tight spots which make it difficult to avoid damaging teammates. So strap yourselves in, and prepare for chaos in that Quarry of Quarrels known as the:

MINI PROGRESS REPORT
Well, this is more of a ‘lack of’ progress report – there simply hasnt been the time to finish Intermission Map3, some of it is in the hands of the coding Gurus. For those who follow the AGRMania youtube channel, there has been no progress on ‘Abomination’, and there’s also at least 3 things that have stalled, but the (beta) tests Ive seen are tantalising. I’ll communicate with the Gurus during the week, and see if we can get a proper timeline for these things; another option is to put unfinished/imperfect things in the game ie stuff that might not look 100%, but works correctly, and doesn’t detract from the gameplay.. your feedback welcome!

HAZE FIX
Not sure why so many ‘legacy’ maps had the (slow!) packs they do, maybe to encourage engineers to build dispensers. I suppose there is an element where a team should have a reward for being organised/cooperative enough to assign someone to build a dispenser, but I think the games are challenging enough as is, so … the supply pack situation is being fixed, map by map, so players get faster packs. BIG THANKS to Haze, for making it so!

We tried the Dream Team last week, and for a moment there, it was good. Yes it fell apart, with one player going AFK, another refusing to use ventrillo, but for a brief moment everything was in order. Everything made sense. Will there be a Dream Team match this week? That’s up to the players. Personally, I’m available, any time, any place, to give an account of myself, to the best of my abilities, at that Netherworld of Nefariousness known as the:

After discussing the situation with a number of players over the last few months, it has been decided that 50-60 minutes is too long for AGR games. To keep the action fast and furious, (starting this week) they will therefore be shortened to 20 minutes each. Also, as many of us only see each other once a week, Intermissions will be lengthened to 40 minutes each. Yes, this will change the ‘vibe’ of the Sessions, but it should give players plenty of time for non game related chat, which is of course, has been a much neglected element. I mean, we are ‘people’, with hopes and dreams, and not just obsessed TF’ers. There’s more to life than computer games, anyway. It is hoped that with this change, the Sessions will become more social, more human, and players will experience heights as yet unknown, at that Manger of Misanthropy known as the:

Ok, put your names here. If we get 5 we do it, if not we don’t.

CHIT CHAT
As the regulars know, there are rules against non-game related chitchat, I’ve been slack in enforcing those rules, because I HATE having my focus switched from player to admin, however the gameplay has suffered because of this, so I will be enforcing the rules more strictly from now on.  I’ll just explain all this for the benefit of the new guys who might wonder why certain people might get muted/kicked and possibly worse:  The Weekly AGR Sessions are about seriously good games. Players are expected to be 100% focused on the game, ESPECIALLY what is happening around the base. As such they are constantly communicating with teammates as to what they’re doing, and checking what everyone else is doing. EVERY TIME someone posts some little quip, comment, joke etc, all players are FORCED to read it. An occasional comment is of course fine, but when it is relentless, when over 50% of the chat is not related to the game, players get distracted, the vibe changes, gameplay suffers, and soon everyone gets the ‘impression’ that others aren’t giving 100% – even thought it might only be one player doing it. I still haven’t decided if those (one or two players) guilty of this just don’t think about these things, or whether they ARE aware of all this and are doing it intentionally. Anyway, in the interests of maintaining and protecting the quality gameplay the Sessions are committed to providing, I will be much stricter with (what I deem to be) excessive non-game related chit chat during games.
