Archive of the pros versus modders game and current MP setup thread

As most of us know, there are two main communities in Sins of a Solar Empire, one for multiplayer and one for modding. Bar the occasional group of friends playing a mod on ICO together however, these two communities rarely interact with each other, besides occasional discussions of game balance.

 

Therefore I propose a little icebreaker in the true Sins fashion, complete with the typical disintegration of metal, screams of nuked worlds, and if we're lucky even the rare space pony sighting, that we've all come to know and love, regardless of which form of Sins we get most of our entertainment from. Yes, I think its time for the first ever Pro Player vs Modders MP game! :grin:

 

Of course as we are meeting in the Pro player's home court, I think in the interest of a semi-interesting game the modders will need a team advantage of some sort. Any ideas on the exact number of players on each team as well as the best time to arrange this will be welcome (I'd guess sometime on Thanksgiving weekend). And of course, if you're interested do let us know.

I'd like to have one pro player sort of be in charge of the logistics of making the game who promises to be there, presumably if any of the other pros don't show we can find substitutes at the game launch. As modders don't often log on to ICO don't commit unless you're sure you can make it at whatever time we agree on. Also if possible I think it would be nice for as many different mods as possible to be represented, but obviously filling the roster comes first.

This Saturday maybe? Did you have any cool games we could try to play ... or neat maps?!

Reply #706 Top

Maybe.  The plan was to play Zombie's mod with Plague and not-yet-decided races..  He wants to share his glory with us.

Plop a copy of the Sims in her lap and you can both play your video games in the same room ... this equates to 'quality time'. ;)

If we don't get to play "Words With Friends" with you, she shouldn't either.

Then get her a tablet with stylus and repeat what I mentioned above. Almost as good as the Sims. :D

You say, "minidump", I say, "rage quit". Search your feelings...you know it to be true.

I think we found our ultimate strategy to beat the pro players...and if we outnumber them even slightly, statisitcs should be on our side...

Screw the statistics, we have incompetence. ;)

By the way I might have something interesting to try next weekend. Will people be able to play then?
