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.

Zombie, Seleuceia  and on a much lower level myself do play multiplayer regularly, so yes it should be a much closer fight. I think the original 4 pros vs 6 modders should still be the goal though, because our other three members would likely either be pretty new to MP or haven't played Rebellion much.

That said, we tried to have a modders versus bronies game this weekend for either a 3v3 or 3v3v3, but sure enough only 3 of us showed up.

You know, first last week I heard PB say "NoVa" and it took me several sentences to get a context to figure out he meant Northern Virginia. Now I assume you mean Northern Louisiana. Is that a common convention I've somehow been kept ignorant of?

Not where I come from ... but I'm farther north than most Canadians. We have an inch of snow on the ground already and more bear per square mile than humans supposedly.  o_O

Yeah, I suppose NoMi doesn't have the same ring to it. ;)

And I used to live where there where more cows than people, so I know the feeling.

Nola is a colloquialism for "New Orleans".

Clearly you and Boshimi have to get on teamspeak tonight and settle this dessert question once and for all.
