[DISCLAIMER: The current official timeslot for the Weekly AGR Sessions is Saturday 23:00 GMT, this post contains *speculation* about a *potential* future change, NOTHING has been decided/concluded at this stage]
Hey people!!
One thing that’s clear over the last two weeks is that people are arriving at around 00:00 GMT, which means ‘midnight’, but it’s a strange looking time, so just for clarity, I’ll subtract a minute, and refer to it as 23:59 GMT. Of course, I’m still information gathering, so if you want the Sessions to start earlier, then you have .. I dunno.. let’s say till the end of March to make your case.. by showing up at that time, and have your presence noted. If current trends persist, the starting time will be 23:59 GMT. Regarding the Sat vs Sunday issue, it’s about even .. which is confusing .. though I guess if people want two days of AGR that’s cool with me. As I said last week, the main thing is to not have people waiting around for people to show up. Having said that, I will be there both Saturdays AND Sundays for the rest of March, and will see how many people log on and *when*.
This is it people. Let’s not pretend, the Sessions have been smaller. We haven’t had an 8vs8 game for months (2fortember?). Thankfully, we have been having at least one GREAT game every Session.. and if worse comes to worse, the future Weekly AGR Session might end up being ONE game a week. That’s cool with me; part of me DOES want 4 games a week (of course) otoh, its 2014, and any BIG TF game these days is quite an achievement, though please, lets get at least 10 players. The future of Q1 TF is up to you guys I guess.
INTERMISSIONS
By the way, as much as I love smaller games, they are (in some ways) MORE intense than BIG ONES, but I stupidly didn’t bother with intermission on Saturday and regretted it, because I was exhausted at the start of the next map, and it affected my performance. A sloppy OMC in a 8 vs 8 game is not a big deal, but in a 3 vs 3 – ugh! So even if it feels crazy, I’m gonna stick with the official schedule, and continue the 5 minute intermissions. Also, please use the intermissions .. had someone last week who chatted through the intermission, and then went afk for a loo break at the start of the next game!
MAP SCHEDULE
Meanwhile, with so many small games/maps is there a point in having a Map Schedule? I say YES, lets be optimistic, and lets look forward to (hopefully) some BIG ACTION at this weeks:
What: Weekly AGR Session
Where: tastyspleen.net:26666
When: Saturday AND Sunday 23:00 GMT. Convert this to your timezone here.
Who: Players young and old, Gurus and newbs
Why: Because you want BIG, ORGANISED TF games. .!
MAP SCHEDULE = Hopefully we’ll get enough players for a BIG map, eg dune1 or sewer1p, lets see if/when we get enough players (at least 10)
