Can't say as I really like RTSes that much, so I won't be playing this time. (Side note: 5 GMT? That's 12 noon here, so I wouldn't be playing anyways. Decent times for me, for future reference, would usually be around 8 PM US Eastern or later.)

But then our friends in Europe can't play.
Edit: I suppose two seperate games could be run on Saturday and Sunday respectively, one being catered to the EST folks.

I haven't even played it, yet. It does look insane, and we'll likely be thrashed.

It's an RTS, yeah. One of the more innovative in existence, lots of crap you can do. You can get by fairly decently without having or memorizing that whole thing, but it helps if you're going after specific weapon loadouts, i.e. ARTILLERY, AHAHAHAHAHAHA. No, heavy arty's not the best strategy -- I couldn't even remotely begin to say which is the best, as I'm not exactly good at the game -- but it's definitely my favorite :P.

I can't really put it in words at the mo'. WZ2100's just one of the best RTSes in existence, and the community effort to improve it once it went open source has been pretty impressive. If you're not on dial-up, the non-beta DL's pretty small (~50 megs), so all I can really say is pick it up and give it a whirl. It's actually pretty easy to pick up and run with, once you figure out what the menu does (Which takes like maybe 5 min at most).

From the wiki blurb: "Warzone 2100 is a real-time strategy game, originally developed by Pumpkin Studios and published by Eidos Interactive, now developed by the Warzone 2100 Project. Compared to other real-time strategy games, it has a greater focus on artillery, radar, and counter-battery technologies, more frequent in-game cinematic updates as game play progresses, a massive research tree, as well as a vehicle design system."

They don't mention the fully 3D game engine, an experience system, Air/Ground/Hover theaters of combat, and a fair number of other things. WZ2.1k's got a lot going on.

You should play Baystation12.

I play goonstation. The admins usually make it fun, but they go too far sometimes. It's also annoying when your game screen is taken over by some random image.

Okay.
65 PM GMT.
Let's do this.

Orb, you must hate dial-up.

Yes, I really do, and it even decided to trick me this time. My firefox download says it downloaded all 54 mbs....but when I check my files its only 11mbs.

Also, fyi, it takes 6 and a half hours to download 54mbs on dial-up, and with the chance my internet will randomly disconnect, its pretty low I'll get it downloaded. Nevertheless, I'll try downloading it again, but I may be a bit late...
