Guest Posted November 25, 2001 Report Posted November 25, 2001 Well, quite frankly I'm surprised no one has suggested this earlier, but...I think it's high time we had an online event to celebrate the release of BC:M! Sure, multiplayer isn't out yet, but that doesn't mean we can;t all get on IRC/AW and meet up. Share stories about the game, swap screenies, start a few more GalCOM/Insurgent wars - maybe even cajole the SC into making an appearance.Whaddaya say? What times suit everyone? I might even be able to make an appearance if it fits in with work and time differences.... I'm GMT+10, so I guess the best times for me would be 0900->1300 (converts to 1600->2000 US Central Time) or 1500->1900 (converts to 2200->0200 US Central Time). I can log onto AW to chat (not to explore or my computer dies a horrible death! *grin*) IRC, any online WWW chat places.So...what do people think?-GD
Blades Posted November 25, 2001 Report Posted November 25, 2001 Sounds like a plan. Im sure there will be an eager bunch of newbies willing to scratch their eyes out to have a quiet word with the chief or the know-it-all-vets-who-layeth-down-the-smack when they mess up on the forums. As a side benefit - great recruitment oppurtunity here. Anyways, might be better off sticking to IRC than AW, but apart from that whenever it's suggested, I'll be popping by ...
Cmdr Nova Posted November 25, 2001 Report Posted November 25, 2001 Count me in.Wanna try AW? It's been a while since it's been full of life. I mean there's buildings and all, but there haven't been lots of people there... And since I haven't been there in a while, I'm dying to see what Epsilon 5 has been doing to the commander's village..... What do you think?
Menchise Posted November 26, 2001 Report Posted November 26, 2001 Yes! AW! Come and see what the new builders have done. It would be great to have more visitors, or at the very least, to have some visitors. quote:And since I haven't been there in a while, I'm dying to see what Epsilon 5 has been doing to the commander's village.....Your eyes will pop out when you see some of the brilliant things he has built (the orion outpost is now the size of a small town).

JaxFox Posted November 26, 2001 Report Posted November 26, 2001 Ahh whats AW? I did a quick search of the forums but didnt really come up with much.Thanks
JaxFox Posted November 26, 2001 Report Posted November 26, 2001 Ok time for silly question number two Is there a Active worlds set up for BCM? Where players can get together and chat. And where would I access this if it is available to the BCM public Thanks
Menchise Posted November 26, 2001 Report Posted November 26, 2001 The Commanders Village central square is on Mars world at 964N 907E (you can get the AW browser here).Unfortunately, we get very few visitors at the moment.
aramike Posted November 26, 2001 Report Posted November 26, 2001 W00t! (Had too...)Seems like every once in awhile we get a good AW thing goin' on. I'm in.
Urza Posted November 26, 2001 Report Posted November 26, 2001 I'm in. I'd prefer IRC, but either one is fine.
Sunanta Posted November 26, 2001 Report Posted November 26, 2001 I'm leaning towards AW, since it'd be kind of nice to use commander's village as a sort of 3d forum.
Rosko Posted November 26, 2001 Report Posted November 26, 2001 I'm all for AW, but the users with lesser computers will miss out.......just do it in a open forum!!
Cur Posted November 26, 2001 Report Posted November 26, 2001 Just say when. In the middle of the night for me, i'm sure... (GMT+2)
Menchise Posted November 26, 2001 Report Posted November 26, 2001 quote:I'm all for AW, but the users with lesser computers will miss out.......just do it in a open forum!!There are ways of improving AW performance, such as reducing the visibility of structures and turning off avatar animations.
Supreme Cmdr Posted November 26, 2001 Report Posted November 26, 2001 No, its not happening on AWI think Badmoon (from Starnovachat.net) is around here somewhere. Maybe he can set it up.
Gallion Posted November 27, 2001 Report Posted November 27, 2001 Time (GMT), date, location (irc, AW, etc.) is all I need.ID the above and I'll be there if I can.TTFN
Spuzzum Posted November 27, 2001 Report Posted November 27, 2001 I'd be there too, though I'd definitely prefer IRC.
Papi Posted November 27, 2001 Report Posted November 27, 2001 Nightowl is my middle name So set it up and I'll be there
Badmoon Posted November 27, 2001 Report Posted November 27, 2001 I'll have a room & web link set up by tonight.
JaxFox Posted November 27, 2001 Report Posted November 27, 2001 quote:Originally posted by Papi: Nightowl is my middle name So set it up and I'll be there Ditto
Commander Elio Jason Posted November 27, 2001 Report Posted November 27, 2001 i'll be there. BTW i'll be there as Commander Elio Jason not the Gammulan grunt.
Badmoon Posted November 27, 2001 Report Posted November 27, 2001 Welp, here is the link for the chat channel. http://chat.starnovachat.net/channels/bcm.htmlYou can use MIRC. server= tampa.fl.us.starnovachat.net port= 6667 channel= #bcm
Guest Posted November 28, 2001 Report Posted November 28, 2001 Okay. All those who wanted AW, you have to concede, it's a ***** to those who don't have decent computers. Like moi.So what I suggest is that you idle in AW and log onto the IRC channel for the actual chat. That way, all those AW junkies - and people who want to try 3D chat - can get together on the sidelines. IRC clients are pretty easy to run.Even better, AW has a browser, doesn't it? Some smart cookie with building privileges in AW set up a console that opens the applet (above) when clicked, somewhere in the Commander's Village. That way, you get one half of the screen chatting in AW, and the other half on IRC. Best of both worlds.So, when? What times suit everyone? I'll get hold of my roster and post some dates and times that suit me (I'd love to be there) and we'll work out what we can do.-GD
Gallion Posted November 28, 2001 Report Posted November 28, 2001 Anytime between a FRI evening (1800 EST GMT-5) to the following SUN afternoon (1800 EST GMT-5) is good for me.TTFN[ 11-27-2001: Message edited by: Gallion ]
