Out with a bang

[Dunenewt]

Is it possible do you think to get loads and i mean loads of people on Emperor (WOL) for one last big go? All these people on the board with Emperor all on WOL at the same time.

Am i the only one who thinks that would be great?

[ken124578]

Well, i think it's impossible, not because he/she doesn't want to, but because of the different time zones.

[Dunenewt]

Well we could still have like an Emperor Day...

[bryorama]

That would be truly would be a good idea but as ken said, different timezones, and for the the Emperor Day: Wouldn't there be times when like no one is on? (E.G. 1:00, you'd only find several people on?)

[Dunenewt]

Well we could always try

[DjCiD]

Or an Emperor Weekend for that matter. Friday nite - Sunday nite. Hey who knows... maybe we could even get some of those 6 or 8 way games going ;)

[ken124578]

It'll be lagging alot then, unless everyone or almost everyone has something like cable.

[Dunenewt]

I was thinking of WOL games to show that Emp still has a reasonably large community

[Apollyon]

Sounds like a great idea to me.

If it happens, I'll be there =).

[Dunenewt]

So will anyone help me organise it

I would need Gobs help of course and anyone else.

[DjCiD]

Yeah it would be great to get every one on that we can. At the same time it would be easier to get people together for big games with the fake LAN thingy, if it works, I still haven't tried it. Every time I log into EmpBFD no one is around or interested... :- I thought it would be cool. And yes it would be laggy if everyone trying to do it had dial-up-up. It would probably run best if everyone had cable... but thats asking a lot.

[Dunenewt]

Well I can see the waves of a revolution growing!

I'll have to ask Gob

[DjCiD]

It's kinda short noticed but having it coincide with the broadcast of CoD would be cool, I would be watching and playing at the same time ;D

[Dunenewt]

That would be good - when is CoD broadcast?

Maybe this could be a belated Duneday?

[DjCiD]

It airs March 16th in the US. Not sure when in other areas. It would be cool to have it over the weekend and on Sunday we get to watch CoD ;D but not everyone lives in the US. :- But it would be cool ;)

[Dunenewt]

Well we'll have to get Gob to advertise this so we can get the maximum amout of people possible on

[Mahdi]

Well, if you guys want, we could do this friday and saturday night in honour of the miniseries, then sunday, monday, and tuesday all so the CoD chat thing.

Set times so we can post them.

[zamboe]

sounds good, at least to give it a shot.

[Elite47]

i would

[Gobalopper]

Yep just provide us with a time(s) and we will mention it on the main page.

[Darkrul3r]

You can see me thier ;D

[Taqwa11]

I'll be there if you organize it. Of course, I haven't played Emperor in two months, so I'd have to shake off the rust. :)

[IxianMace]

Additionally, we could get a room with 8 players in it using the LAN program that rigel6669 posted in another thread, provided that it works. :D ;)

[DjCiD]

That would be the collest part just to try the program out ;D Oh and breaking the WOL servers when where not having the big multiplayer games. Think we can get enuff ppl on to make EA notice us?

Guys shout out some times, I'm gonna be home all day Sat. My wife is having her *late* baby shower, my son will be 3 weeks old on Sat. The original date she went into labor, so they had to put it off :) But shes going to the Shower and I'm at home all by myself with the Computer!! Woo Hoo! So I can be on all day Sat. Oh yeah I'm in EST wich is -5 GMT.

[Mahdi]

Perhaps Gob could e-mail Chris and see if he'd be able to pop in during friday or Saturday nights (or even during one of the chats on sunday, monday, or tuesday if they are better for him).
