Anyone have a problem with May 12/13 Sat/Sun, morning EST?

As for map choice, because Nooblex has been iffy about his participation, I'd rather  wait until he confirms whether he is in or out.

Well so far, all these times pretty much exclude each other. I suppose we could do early morning EST on Saturday the 5th.

Q, you don't want to play at all this week until Sat?

Also, forgot to add.  Yes, pick savage, excellent choice.  Impossible creeps, huge map, corner tower abuse, everything a human could ask for.  It's like saying "Good luck in the finals Q!"  Fortunately, Ebo is smart enough not to pick a hugely human favored map as orc with his finals placement riding on the win.

It's going to be an 8 player map. 6 player maps are luck based, and I don't do luck.

Didn't you say yourself you won because of luck in your games?
Title: Re: ES1
Post by: rygorych on April 30, 2012, 02:14:35 PM
I meant to say that I don't choose maps which increase the FFA's luck factor. It's independent of my winning, which was lucky due to other factors :)
For instance I got unlucky position in R2 and still won due to some lucky end game mining which would never happen under usual circumstances.

I'm leaning towards Twilight for shredders and markets, but that's just asking to get 3v1ed :(

3v1's in your cast?  I don't think that will happen

edit:  implying everyone is around same skill level with no real easy tome-able player, thus it most likely won't result in a 3v1.

Post by: Redkeekee on April 30, 2012, 02:21:13 PM
I liked deadlock, that map was fun as hell.  Twilight not bad, better than icky Market.

You'd think so, but never underestimate a sampled primate's irrational fear before Orc. It's almost as if they won 9 out of 11 FML finals.

Market is a stupid, stupid map. Unless everyone gets their own corner, in which case it's decent.

Oh and even if it's fair, I'd still not like to play it. 15 claws and dagger of teleport on TC? Nope, doesn't get you teamed.

I'm busy until Saturday. And stop trying to convince the others to team me, they'll both hoard anyway.
Title: Re: ES1
Post by: rygorych on April 30, 2012, 02:27:34 PM
Huh? I'm not convincing anyone, just making conversation + massing posts to get Super Blademaster title.

You know I love you Q, my team buddy last season  :icon_mrgreen:

OK, so how about Saturday the 5th of May 9-10 AM EST ?
Title: Re: ES1
Post by: Q-veta on April 30, 2012, 02:39:31 PM
That's good with me.
Title: Re: ES1
Post by: Redkeekee on April 30, 2012, 03:28:53 PM
I'm out on Friday night so the later the better but that does work technically ;p
Title: Re: ES1
Post by: rygorych on April 30, 2012, 03:35:48 PM
No idea how long the game will last and I have obligations in the afternoon, so rather start earlier.

Let's see if nooblex replies.
Title: Re: ES1
Post by: rygorych on May 01, 2012, 09:14:51 AM
So what's the plan if Nooblex doesn't reply soon?
Title: Re: ES1
Post by: FML|WorpeX on May 01, 2012, 04:25:44 PM
We'll give him a few days. I don't believe he has internet at the moment.

mmmk
Title: Re: ES1
Post by: Q-veta on May 02, 2012, 10:41:55 AM
In the meantime you could pick the map.
Title: Re: ES1
Post by: rygorych on May 02, 2012, 10:59:02 AM
Assuming Nooblex is in, Twilight. If he isn't in, I might change my mind :)
Title: Re: ES1
Post by: Q-veta on May 02, 2012, 01:58:19 PM
Two people already picked Savage Storm, you should too. Don't make me regret that I'm not in the other semifinals!
Title: Re: ES1
Post by: rygorych on May 02, 2012, 02:01:08 PM
Well, Orcs are the weakest on corner sieging, having no long range or mass tower disable, and UD are only slightly better with breath.... and I'm not playing NE/HU for sure.

Also, it's a 6 player map. A fun one at that, but I'm not going to ride semis on position luck.

So... sorry brah, but no SS in this one.
Title: Re: ES1
Post by: rygorych on May 04, 2012, 12:33:22 PM
Assuming Nooblex doesn't reply tonight, can we safely say that the game is postponed?
Title: Re: ES1
Post by: FML|WorpeX on May 04, 2012, 12:44:05 PM
lol, postpone. If nooblex doesn't post tonight, :France: Ugrilainen gets the spot. He wins the tie breaker.
Title: Re: ES1
Post by: rygorych on May 04, 2012, 12:50:49 PM
Sounds gooooood, and is Sir Ugri OK with  NINE AM EST tomorrow, Saturday, the FIFTH of MAY, TWO THOUSAND AND TWELVE?
Title: Re: ES1
Post by: FML|WorpeX on May 04, 2012, 01:35:00 PM
he'd rather play in three thousand and twelve.

Title: Re: ES1
Post by: rygorych on May 04, 2012, 01:38:22 PM
OK so Sat is off

Anyone have a problem with Sunday 6th of May @9AM-10AM EST?
Title: Re: ES1
Post by: Ugri2 on May 04, 2012, 01:54:36 PM
sunday 10 AM would be ok for me
Title: Re: ES1
Post by: rygorych on May 04, 2012, 01:56:18 PM
Q's times seem to be OK with it, but not Red's - he says he's OK from 12.
Red, any chance you can do 10 instead? 12 is too late for me, assuming the game will go for a long time.
Title: Re: ES1
Post by: Ugri2 on May 04, 2012, 01:59:12 PM
can do anytime after 10 am, just sign me up for w/e you decide
Title: Re: ES1
Post by: Redkeekee on May 04, 2012, 02:30:40 PM
Sorry I can't.  I work for a church and I have a service every Sunday making me unavailable from 8:30AM to 12:00(noon) every week.  I am SOMETIMES home by 11:45AM but no sooner.

Also note my original schedule for next Saturday the 12th has changed, my concert was cancelled so I can play in the morning/early afternoon.
Title: Re: ES1
Post by: rygorych on May 04, 2012, 02:39:00 PM
Saturday the 12th 9-10AM EST?
Title: Re: ES1
Post by: Redkeekee on May 04, 2012, 02:41:54 PM
What is your schedule during the week ebo?
The three of us can play on Monday between 1:30PM and 4:00PM.

If that time doesn't work we will need more specific information about Ebo and Ugri's schedule post-Monday to schedule.

As of right now the times between Monday 5/7 and Sunday 5/13 of Q + my schedules that don't exclude one another are:
Monday 5/7 - 1:30 - 4:00
Tuesday 5/8 - 1:30 - 4:00
Friday 5/11- 1:30
Saturday 5/12 - Before 3:00

Note: I would be willing to extend my availability on Friday 5/11 as a last resort if necessary.
Title: Re: ES1
Post by: Redkeekee on May 04, 2012, 02:42:32 PM
Saturday the 12th would work for me.
Title: Re: ES1
Post by: Ugri2 on May 04, 2012, 02:44:46 PM
mon : all day
tues-fri : after 21:00
saturday-sun : free if scheduled in advance

I can play on the 12th. I like saturday 10 AM option
Title: Re: ES1
Post by: rygorych on May 04, 2012, 02:45:21 PM
I work full time, so the earliest I can play on a weekday would be pretty late for the euro guys, which is why I think early weekend day would be easiest for everyone.

Let's see if ugri and Q are OK with Sat 12th 9-10 AM EST.
Title: Re: ES1
Post by: rygorych on May 04, 2012, 02:45:45 PM
OK, just Q needs to reply if he's OK with Sat 12th 10 AM EST.
Title: Re: ES1
Post by: Redkeekee on May 04, 2012, 02:50:28 PM
Should be according to his schedule but indeed confirm necessary.

Well there's some construction workers outside my house and my internet has been terrible for a few days. I'll make the game probably but I'll also probably disconnect  :icon_sad:

Better 1 Base all-kill everyone to ensure fast win.
