Fight night cancelled ... again! Server thing was unfortunate

Hey guys,

KeithTalent authorized me to make this thread. Going to leave it unstickied for now. The last thread didn't work, but this one is going to be different.

First

Based on the last poll, i'm going to set the date/time for SATURDAY AUGUST 20th 9PM EST. If enough people say it doesn't work, i may change it (obviously some people won't be able to make it) to Sunday.

Second

If you haven't joined the Anandtech Team Fortress 2 Group, join here http://steamcommunity.com/groups/ATTF2

I'm going to set a scheduled meeting that will notify everyone of the event. I or Keith will send out reminders the day before and also earlier on saturday.

Third

If we need more players, i will try to get more players to fill in from, perhaps reddit (or another community). We could maybe do an anandtech vs. reddit event, based on need.

[size=+2]Edit: Just thought of something, instead of me going to another community (that can be a last resort) everyone can msg their friends to join the server, if need be[/size]

Fourth

This may be optional, but we'll try different game modes, like highlander mode, to add variety to the fun, rather than just mindlessly killing each other for the same objective over and over again. This will depend on what most people want on the server.

edit:

Fifth

A bunch of us has the pw to the server so we can change settings. All talk will DEFINITELY be on, because it's more fun to talk to everyone than just your team (although it may be turned off for highlander and other game modes where people take strategy more seriously). Other settings may change as well.

Unfortunately, for Aug 20th I can't make it. I have a prior engagement that I must go to. :(

So potentially good news for me. The conflicting event may be pushed forward to Friday so I may be able to make it in time. :)

Though I will still vote that Sunday will be the better day as my plans for Saturday are still in flux at the moment.

I'll try to make it either night. Sunday is usually better as most Saturday night's I'm out and about.

I'm more likely to be available on Sunday than Saturday, but I'll try to be there.

I put my system together so I may be able to attend. If I can figure out how to install my Programs directory on another HD that is...

Saturday is leading by a pretty good margin, so it'll probably stay that way.

I sent an announcement over steam to remind the almost 300 Anandtech users about the event, hopefully people got the msg.

One more thing that can help when we meet up on Saturday, instead of me going to reddit or some other community, we can all message people on our friends list to join if we need to fill some slots too.

Also, daily bump

I would like to apologize to all the people I will kill tonight.
