Both times seem fine for me. Expect me with even higher ping because dorm's connection is rather... meh.

I'm thinking that if we do this we can do it on October 31st and November 1st at 8pm EST. How's that sound?

Or we could change it to earlier for Saturday because European timezones.

That makes it... something like midnight GMT? I'm not good at time zones.

Anyway, as long as it's during the week-end, staying up late won't be a problem for me, so I'm all up for it.

Ultra ping ahoy!

EST is rather pleasant to use for me because it's exactly 12 hours behind local time here. No need for excess calculations, the transformation is simple 10/31 8pm -> 11/01 8am.
:derp: ...It's 1am GMT.

I'm up for it.

Given Scream Fortress will be around probably for the year, I'm more than open for this. I was planning announcing this anyway but Gpop beat me to the punch. :V

EDIT: I also got TF2x10 / TF20 installed on server-side. Should we use that too on at least one occasion? :getdown:

EDIT2: Bumper car map added to map rotation. There will be plenty of that

EDIT3: Some of us are likely arrive late to today's meeting, and thus the full meeting may start later than normal. While one can do quite a bit with the existing vote commands, the real silly stuff (eg. TF2x10) will require one of the admins (probably me, due to all the commands) on board. :U

Spotty Len · « **Reply #785 on:** November 01, 2014, 12:22:44 AM »

I'm not sure I'll be able to come tonight (or this evening, for EST people). I've caught a cold yesterday and I'm feeling pretty tired right now, I don't think it's reasonable for me to stay up all night (I mean, it's only 1:20AM here and I can barely stay awake).

I'll try to come tomorrow if I feel better.

In the mean time, I hope everybody will have fun.

Gpop · « **Reply #786 on:** November 01, 2014, 02:32:39 AM »

Sorry I didn't come today. Got caught with work and school related events, but I'll probably come tomorrow though (man I'm such a good host, not coming to my own meets :V)

Agent of the BSoD · « **Reply #787 on:** November 01, 2014, 03:30:08 AM »

I was going to post earlier but I kinda forgot. I wasn't able to come to the meet, being with family and all that. Tomorrow could be doable though.

Did the meet even happen or was it a burn out?

DX7.EP · « **Reply #788 on:** November 01, 2014, 03:48:41 AM »

I was out partying as well, so I did not attend. But going by Steam account activity I think few if any remembered to arrive.

If needed, we could consider a make-up meeting next week.

Agent of the BSoD · « **Reply #789 on:** November 01, 2014, 06:33:39 AM »

Maybe we shouldn't schedule meets on holidays. :V

DX7.EP · « **Reply #790 on:** November 01, 2014, 06:45:36 AM »

Around holidays (US and Canada ones, for the most part) seem fine, but not during them, I guess. :V

Delfigamer · « **Reply #791 on:** November 01, 2014, 10:27:06 AM »

Ah damn I cannot yesterday and today. What a pity, seems like this time will be without me. :/

DX7.EP · « **Reply #792 on:** November 01, 2014, 10:56:31 PM »

~~Will be a few minutes late to today's meeting. I'm considering starting an hour later (9PM EST / 1AM UTC), but feel free to join in on the original schedule.~~
Disregard this. We are starting!

Good fun as usual!

DX7.EP · « **Reply #794 on:** November 02, 2014, 06:11:40 AM »

Today was an absolute blast consisting of the following:

Bumper cars! ...for a brief moment
10-player Bison Solly-only (though Shady used the Pain Train and someone else opted for Beggar's Bazooka) Wave 666 run for the laughs. The custom bot names were having their share of fun too.
Trainsawlaser insanity + TF2x10 items
A few rounds of ctf_sawmill
Derping in Badwater with TF2x10, including:

Pootisbird vs. Pootisbird brawls between me and BSoD. I lost 3-10 somehow (according to the duelling item I used). :V
Figuring out what all the items do and how they work in the x10 setting
Basketball with taunt sliding, RED Pyros, BSoD as Rancho Relaxo engie. The goal - get him into the windows overlooking RED spawn! It worked rather well.
The impending TFPocalypse.
Tiny TF2 silliness

...and there ya have it for now!

This was my greatest idea, after seeing a YT video of a 6-person team beating it with pure bison only (and rocket jumpers of course).

Shady also totally carried the team. That's why he had the lowest score. Couldn't have done it without you. Especially when you just stood on the tank and watched. :V

good to see people still occasionally getting together for some fun :V

well, there's my yearly post

BACK INTO THE GRAVE I GO

Heh. I never make these things. Did the tf2 thread die out? Can't find it.

DX7.EP · « **Reply #798 on:** November 04, 2014, 05:49:03 PM »

This thread has practicallty become the TF2 thread, but with the focus moreso on the server. :V

Well, in that case. Youtube took down LazyPurple's"It's Precipitating Young Males" video. Really liked that video too. In other news anyone try the End of the line update yet?

There is nothing to try in this update.

The only things they added were cosmetics and that duck counter that doesn't do anything besides making noise. The map was deemed "too confusing for new players" and was cut from the update.
All in all, Valve screwed up big time for this update.

Although, I did end up on Snowplow last night with some friends and we had a good time, and McVee actually popped up on the server and played a little with us. He's a nice guy, I wish he had what he deserved for all his work.

The map was still fun anyways. Not sure about the entry fee just to partake in Duck Fortress, however.

Meeting may be scheduled in the near future, though I will have to change the fastdl server for a few reasons.

Delfigamer · « **Reply #803 on:** December 23, 2014, 02:47:45 PM »

Any meetings coming for after the New Year?
I promise I'll join this time! :ohdear:

Spotty Len · « **Reply #804 on:** December 23, 2014, 02:58:48 PM »

Considering I will have a lot of free time on January, the chances I would be joining even during the night in are pretty high.

DX7.EP · « **Reply #805 on:** December 23, 2014, 09:57:07 PM »

~~I'm debating hosting something on the eve of Boxing Day (26th) and the 27th. Keep an eye out....~~

EDIT: Considering that I am (and will still be) out-of-town through much of the week, and the connection here is nothing short of atrocious, how about we meet on 2-3 January at 20:00 EST / UTC-4? This will also give me time to update the FastDL server as needed using a much better connection.

Delfigamer · « **Reply #806 on:** December 25, 2014, 04:42:21 PM »

I'm totally in.
Haven't played TF2 for ages, I guess I'll have time to remember how to M1+W and to wipe that dust from my gibus.

Spotty Len · « **Reply #807 on:** December 25, 2014, 04:46:47 PM »

So that's January 3 and 4 1AM at GMT+1.

Eh, whatever, I'll sleep during the day.

My ping will be perfect for an unshootable Scout.

Delfigamer · « **Reply #808 on:** January 02, 2015, 11:09:43 PM »

Wonderful!

Am I the only one with Steam which doesn't want to connect?
They better fix it in 50 minutes. :[

UPD
They did.

DX7.EP · « **Reply #809 on:** January 02, 2015, 11:16:42 PM »

Nah, there was some routine maintenance or something like that. Also meeting begins an hour later than you state.
Said maintenance is. however, affecting server-side as well, where a Steam connection cannot be made in either the server binary or SteamCMD. :|
