I'm "in" for the concept, but "out" this weekend (which includes Monday for me). Next week/weekend are better...
I will try my best to be there. Who else is playing? Why isn't everyone playing? T:A rocks.
Thursday & Friday look good, I'll be on no sooner than 9:30 eastern. 50/50 for the rest of this week.
I should be on after 9:30 tonite...but I need to get my vent working. It doesn't seem to like the password under windows. :P
Wed and Thurs I have scrims with Void.
Only played a couple of times but will be thee as a moving target for the rest.
Same with Gunny... and I don't even think I have Ventrilo installed on my PC.
Tip: Don't grab the flag unless you stand a reasonable chance at getting home (nobody is around or you're moving very, very fast.) Instead, concentrate on returning your flag (play defense) or spam enemy assets/defenders.
Similarly, you can just stay at home and play technician. Turret kills are rewarding.
Gunny should just snipe and be done with it. Some skills carry over. :) :uzi:
I agree with Squidly's tip: Don't llama grab! I can't tell you how many times I've set up a run and hit the flag stand at full speed just after some idiot walks into the flag, then gets killed shortly thereafter. There is never a shortage of cappers, but often my team's flag is left completely undefended. That's when I switch to Doombringer, which isn't much fun for me (I prefer the thrill of capping or chasing), but someone has to do it.
Incidentally, I don't know about you, Squidly, but I've never played a game in which I get robbed so often. Whenever I'm capping, it's inevitable that I will miss caps by inches because someone kills me or grabs the flag a fraction of a second before I cap. I'm surprised I've yet to rage at this game (as I often did at Tribes 2). I guess that's a testament to how much fun I'm having with it, even when it frustrates the hell out of me.
Speaking of llama grabs, the Llama Island trailer is great: http://kotaku.com/5891879/tribes-asc...ingly-familiar
Llama grabbing was what I was describing...and yeah it sucks. I usually play HOF or LD. I'll occasionally go HO or tech. Only rarely do I cap. If you see me doing it (or sniping) it's because I'm in the mood to goof off a bit. :)
I'm working hard on my technician class. I love turret kills.
I'll be on tonight at 9:30 EST. Suit up.
Well I was there...

I can confirm.....the TestSquid was in vent :P
"TheyCutGlass" - LOVE IT... :talker:
I was watching The Lorax with my daughter and . . . the ex-wife. This is otherwise known as penance.
Perhaps another shot this Friday?
I should be up for that, albeit late-ish (10 PM Eastern, maybe?)
I can probably make it since I won't have the kid that night.
Be there or Be Square.
I'm out. Taking the kidlet to the circus.
And so it goes. Avoid the clowns.
Still in. Coming on around 9:30-10 (I take my dinner late on Friday nights.)
In game now
That was a fun time ... need to get more AK ingame :)
Definitely... lets keep the Friday as a regular time. When the private servers come out, we'll be better able to get into a ctf game together.
Cool. I should be around the next two Fridays, at a minimum.
GGs tonite!
Sorry I missed it. I was at a conference several hours away during the week and was exhausted. Collapsed at 10pm. :P
Unrelated, here's a couple of vids I recorded of a scrim I was in earlier in the week:

Be sure to up the rez to whatever your comp can handle.
What is everyone's names in the game so I can add them?
Palooka
Squidly
Mine is Hardnok
Squidly, I saw you on last night but could not join in with you
Yeah, you can get stuck in a queue easily. As far as I know, there's no ability to choose your server, so if you're the first one in, you often get put in a server that's full or close to it.
(You have my name, right?--Th3Beast)
Who's coming out this Friday? I'm in.
Sometimes the servers are full, and you can't get in. Other times (Mon/Wed/Thurs) I'm playing on whitelisted servers, practicing for matches. It's not you, it's me. ;)
You guys still playing? Saw the game was finally released yesterday and was reminded of this place. Wouldn't mind playing a couple of games with the old crew. :)
you can everyone but some people you can not join in with them. For instance last night I tried to join Palooka for 3 hours and it wouldnt let me. I did see him in my game as i was exiting before I tried to join back.
I rarely see many people on. It would be nice to have more people on and in vent..
