Bay12 Wesnoth Night - Updated: Timezones
« on: July 26, 2010, 02:45:47 pm »

So since most of the Steam events are being quite repetitive, I thought of a way to spice up the Steam community events.

I proposed an night of turn based strategy games and was encouraged to write one of the group admins, to set up an event.
However, I'd like to make sure that people actually show up, as well as reach out for the people who don't use Steam.

I believe the most accesible game for everybody would be Battle for Westnoth, a free TBS fantasy game.
Though I would be open to any other suggestions, as long as the game is easy to aquire/relatively cheap.

The time of the event taking place, would probably be friday 7pm GMT, but it can be changed to suit as many people as possible.

Update:

Jack A T - GMT -8
Dwarguy - GMT -6
PenguinOverlord - GMT -5
Singularity - GMT -5
GlyphGryph - GMT -4
Kilakan - GMT -4
ExKirby - GMT +0
Evilgrim - GMT +0
Myroc - GMT+1
ILikePie - GMT +2
Mindmaker - GMT +2
Muz - GMT +10

This are the people interested in another game, that far.
If you're interested post your GMT and we shall see what course of action we will take.

Battle for Wesnoth? Hell yes.

Though depending on how long this will take, I'd gladly move this back an hour our two.

I'd play, but I'd like to know if I can play through my Linux box. If all we do is synchronize times and whatnot, then I'd happily join a game or two.
How about 6pm GMT on thursday (Or wednesday, of course)?

I would be ok with that.
It really depends on whoever else is interested in playing.

Wouldn't an event on the weekend reach more people?

This can act as a a kick-off event, in which we meet up with all the other Westnoth players, as well as introduce it to people who never played it before.
After that we can organize more frequent games or schedule it on other days, organizing them with all the new players we just met.

Well, I've never played Battle for Wesnoth before, but I'm always up for trying new games. Plus I love strategy games.

I'm down for that. I haven't played FFH2 too much, but I like it.

I might be interested in playing Battle for Wesnoth too. Although I suck and always end up being pissed off at the RNG  :-\ (I want a mod that hide the hit %  ??? )

You gotsta make your own luck.

Anyway, I'm up for Wesnoth, although I was never very good at multiplayer.  I'll redownload it and try to get reacquainted, luckily I've already been playing a lot of Fire Emblem and Wesnoth takes strongly after it.

So shall it be friday then, for our first meeting?
5 or 7 pm GMT?

Also I have Age of Wonders II: The Wizards Throne.
It would be awesome if I could play it with someone sometime.

Of course you can.
The event will be open for everybody.

We will just have to organize the game and map-sizes, so we can spread all the players over several games.
