Anyone interested in playing tonight?
If you can host, post here and we should get something going!

[Jervous]

I will play for sure. Why doesn't anyone ever host or play it anymore?! It's amazing!!!1

[Labs]

I'll join. This game is kewl. Never really played many rounds though.

[tarsier]

I've never actually played but I checked it out with AI (pointless) for the first time today and it looks like it would be so much fun ... PROVIDED people do some decent roleplaying, emoting, etc. and don't just randomly go around axing everyone!

I would host but I can't figure out how to get around my router; normally it's not so bad but I'm playing in Parallels (I'm a mac user) and that means I have twice as many hurdles to deal with regarding internet settings.

[Cthulhu]

I'll join.

[Jervous]

I'll roleplay of course. Who can host though D:

[tarsier]

As far as I know it's as simple as going "create new game" and "host a session" and then putting it through your port - nothing needs to be downloaded, I don't think? But I could be completely wrong.

You could make it private, too, set a game name BAY and a password 12 or something like that.

When you open the game, the BYOND program has a button at the bottom right corner that says "Host" (next to ones that say "Chat" and "Alt"), you just click that, click OK in the box that pops up (you can change the options in the box, but generally there's no need to), and you're hosting! It's a function that's built right into BYOND itself, virtually all BYOND games have the ability...

[Edit:] Oh, one thing to know, though, is that BYOND game hosting doesn't work if your internet runs through a router, unless you properly configure your router to allow the connection... So if you've tried to host with the Host button, but it doesn't seem to work, that's probably the problem...

[Jack A T]

I'll play.

[Quarr]

I, er, think I can host. A server should be up at byond://24.142.35.205:60159 assuming my ports are opened properly. The server itself should be up for at least 10 hours.

Edit: Yeah, I seem to be hosting fine. 6 players so far, open for more. Not sure how the latency is.

[tarsier]

Was I the only one having intense / unplayable lag?

Wondering if it's the host, or me.

[Sensei]

Joining...

What is this exactly, anyway? I only heard of it just now.

[Lap]

Was I the only one having intense / unplayable lag?

Welcome to BYOND.

[Quarr]

It -shouldn't- be my connection. Some people aren't having any issues at all. 0.13ms and 0.2ms, though one other guy was having some problems with like 2-3s lag. BYOND server code generally isn't known for being the best in the world, but that kind of latency is abnormal. I'm hosting from East Coast Canada right now, so anyone in North America and even Europe should probably have playable pings, but I suppose we'll find out soon enough.
