Click Here to take survey

If you'd like to get a scheduled time going for IC gaming, post to the survey.

Having a server full of IC people is a lot more fun than waiting in IRC for someone to suggest a game and having the server half full, with half the players being non-IC.

    Done.

    Really liked the idea to email the schedule to those who participate.

    19 responses so far

    IMHO, enough of a response to justify:
    1. making a public schedule
    2. saying: "if you don't vote, that's a vote that you don't care"

    Agreed?

    I think its a wide enough sampling of who is consistently playing. There's always room to make adjustments as well.

    Great idea. I'm looking forward to playing TF2 again whenever the carpal tunnel goes away or I finish my thesis.

    Whichever comes first, really.

    Cool... thanks for setting this up, Dan. I'll try as often as I can to hook up with you guys for TF2. :D

    :( I just now saw this thread. I'm in any night I don't work.

    I didn't get to vote either :(

    But I'm ok with thursday night for TF2. Friday would have been ideal, I'm almost guaranteed to have friday's off each week (that's my incentive for having been at the studio for 2 years :rolleyes: ) But thursday is typically a night that I have off or get off work at 9. If it's the latter case, I'll get home and jump online.

    Don't think this excludes other games on those nights, its just nice to know that theres going to be nights for certain games where people can count on those things.

    Schedule updated, based on feedback.
      One day per game
      a few day changes based on complaints for Monday/Thursday TV schedule.
      got rid of 'open gaming'. Of course it's open gaming.

    Also, I tried leaving Friday nights open for...well... life. But would the L4D crowd prefer Friday nights over Saturday nights?
  • SnarkasmSnarkasm Madison, WI Icrontian

    If we do, we can organize it ourselves. L4D doesn't require near the number of people TF2 does.

    Last night we had a ton of IC folks on the server... why did we change the day for TF2?

    So, why did we even vote, when the decision is going to be made by people bitching anyway... Might as well have just started at that step, and not bothered us with the poll.

    and now you begin to see why I never bothered with a schedule. people are gonna play what they play when they want to play it

    As a voter I reserve my right to complain per TTs terms and conditions above.

    If a couple people "complained" meaning they changed their vote and that changed the day the majority voted for then I accept the changes. If this is not what happened, See CBs post above.

    Monday = work, Tuesday = not work

    Switching days makes Canti :(.

    But Prime is right, just start screaming at people when you're trying to start a game. They'll join or they won't, schedule matters little.

    Schedules help... I now try harder to be online for TF2 because I know there will be more IC folks playing. There have been times where I only have 90 minutes to play, jump on and no one is around. I do not want to spend 30 minutes gathering 3 or 4 guys and then, just as I need to leave, the server starts hopping.

    I'd rather jump on, play for 90 minutes and know reshuffling my home schedule paid off with some good fragging.

    I know I make a more concerted effort for TF2 when I know its going to happen. As a person who doesn't hang around his computer/Steam and/or IRC that much its really nice to have a time when 5 or 6 people will always show up.

    Yeah... and I love MM... always a good guy to frag. ;D
