Oh, right, that's 3:00 for you. Is 5:00 EST better?
darth_vader
More like 5:20 or so, but I won't be on long. Got to play a concert that night plus do homework. 5:20-6:00 EST would be my biggest timeslot.
Shlimazel
Ok, gang, the game goes up at 4:30. If you want to play, you're welcome to stop by.
darth_vader
Actually I won't be playing today. I've got to go to the dentist.
Shlimazel
Horrible news. Giving up Halo for the dentist. Maybe next time, I suppose?
darth_vader
Try me same time tomorrow.
Shlimazel
I'm not available except on wednesdays and weekends. How's your time on the weekend looking?

Maybe enough for a few games, but it's the weekend before finals.

You know, call me crazy, but it would *technically* be possible to run a dedicated server using Automator's "do what I do action" and a copy of Halo...

It would be more feasible for me to build a new machine and use this one as a dedicated. I'm not sure if my connection can handle it for 16 players though.

Sadly, I have been gone, and am liable to be for the coming week as well. sad.gif Woe!

Using deception and the ways of chocolate waffles, I would've had time today to set up a dedicated server on my girlfriend's computer (on 24/7, fast enough to run Vista), but I seem to have forgotten to turn on the VNC server for remote management. Maybe sometime later this week.

Sounds interesting. Please, continue.

Chocolate waffles do have amazing powers. Good luck with that.
darth_vader
School has been out, so I'm free a lot more. Also working on a dedicated server. We should have some more games!
Shlimazel
Sounds rad! Would you be up for a game later today?
darth_vader
I might be going somewhere at 4:00 (my time) but anytime before that.
Shlimazel
Oh, erg. I might not be able to make it to play by then.

Maybe we could meet for a match tomorrow?
Begemotike
Back! You can most likely count me in for anything tomorrow. Still looking at the same time frames as usual?
darth_vader
My schedule is up in the air today. I'm probably going somewhere at 4:00 CST for reals this time. I also need to get to Best Buy or an Apple store and get some new headphones and cables.
Shlimazel
Welcome back, bege! I can show up later unless something comes up. How about a quick game around 3 EST?

Whoops, sorry. I mean 4 EST, so that's 3 CST. Right?
darth_vader
I'll try to be there. smile.gif
Shlimazel
Ok, game's going up. Feel free to join!
Begemotike
Awesome games guys. Time for me to go, though! The only reason we won that last game Shlimazel is that after you did a brb, the rest of your teammates decided to just bug out. Very sad!


Shlimazel
Yes, EXCELLANT games. Thanks for playing, everyone!

Oh, FAIL! They did?

Well, I guess that they were scared of fighting you on their lonesome.
Two Jacks
The best part was that I was actually able to actually join the actual server where we actually played a few actual games of Halo. Actually.

The ballance in skill kept the games fun. Good games all.
Shlimazel
Yeah, that was a good thing. I'm glad you were able to join. We should play again sometime.
darth_vader
Going to be away this weekend. Available next week, but the week after that (starting the 15th) I will be gone.
Shlimazel
Hey gang, is anybody up for a game today?
Two Jacks
I went on #halo a few times to check in but no one was up for a game.

I did run in to "Capt Tripps" while playing on a server though. I kept asking if he was from the ASW boards but he said nothing during the whole round.
Shlimazel
Hah! He was hiding out from us....

By the way, would anyone be up for a game today?
Two Jacks
I always go on #halo before I go on Halo to see if anyones up for a game.

I'll be able to play today for sure.
Shlimazel
Great! I'm free up till 4:00 EST, when can you make it?

Well, I gues it didn't work out today... Is anyone up for a game tomorrow, tentatively 3-4ish EST?
Begemotike
I believe I'll be around then!
Shlimazel
I look forward to the battle, Vice President Begemotike!
Shlimazel
Ok, the server is up. All ASWer's are welcome to join!
Shlimazel
Good game, Two Jacks. Sorry things were so screwey! Hope it works out.
Begemotike
I don't see the game, President!
Shlimazel
Ok, I'm putting it up.

Er, I mean to say, it's up. Come ahead!
Begemotike
Very weird, I still don't see it. I shall keep looking! HaloASW, right?
Shlimazel
That should be it. I wondered where you were.

Ok, I'm putting it up right now. CTF, bloodgulch.
Shlimazel
Good game, Begemotike! Sorry I had to go.
LNSU
which version of halo is needed for this? 1, 2, or 3?
Shlimazel
Halo one, for Mac or PC. I'm not really able to play today, but I'll probably be up tomorrow if you're interested.

Also, if you're interested, please post this info. I'll add it to my first post.

Name:
Skill level: (1= poor, 2=below average, 3=average, 4=fair, 5=good)
Availability: (earliest hour-latest hour) (earliest day-latest day)
Preferred Gametype: (Slayer, CTF, etc)
Can Host: (y/n)
Two Jacks
Apparently to see all the serveres available, LNSU, you need to be running Halo Combat Evolved 2.0.0 or later. I had this same problem when I first tried finding the server.
Shlimazel
I think he meant which game, not which version.
Shlimazel
Anybody up for a game tomorrow, 3-4ish EST?
pp0u20e8
I'm up for a game. Haven't had the internet in a year, let alone halo.

3-4ish EST by my reckoning (by which I mean memory) is 8-9 in Blighty, if I'm correct, right?

My name is likely to be pp0u20e8.
darth_vader
Hey, it's you. EST to GMT conversion is 5 hours I believe, so that would indeed be 8-9.
Shlimazel
You're welcome to join up. It'd be cool to see a new face on Halo.

Could you take a moment and fill this out? I'll add it to my first post.
