Excessive Plus pickup games! (status: DEAD)
dead? what the hell happened? i thought u guys would still have games going in the evening times for euro (havent seen it cos ive been waking up late afternoons for the last week or so).
The last week and a half hs been insane crazy, and i dont really have time to commit to pickup games cos they take about 30 minutes (on avergae including preparation, set up , etc.) and i cant commit throughout the whole time
so i havent actully been there enough to be able to some up with a conclusion, but cos of the current month we're in, i can guarantee that its:
1) People enjoying holidays
2) people not going on holidays are fucking tired enough
3) Me somewhere in between (looking for fucking work)
4) I guess the idea is just taking a pause
5) fuk knows
hmm ill have a talk to the admins about this. if that is indeed the case (as in people being off inactive and stuff) i do have a few ideas on how to get them back in. lets see what happens.
1st both servers are away. U should look for a new one, with serverowner with more patience than me.
I just saw, there was a whole week, where "nearly" no game happend, even channel was full, no matter what time, at least minimum the half of people in channel played somewhere, but never added again.
Further, i guess i received meanwhile 18 or 19 messages via pm, to bring 2!SFreeze back, so i did.

summer is probably not the best time for pickup
mow u dont really need to justify that. i guessed the reason. wasnt difficult.
i was just busy doing stuff and playing a bit more promode. so i didnt really have the time to drag people to play pickups.
altho it does seem weird that people would actually play public games on the server while not being interested in pickups. i think we've all seen that pickups are defly more fun than random public games.
anyways lets see what happens. if the folks start coming back maybe we'll give it another go.
cant say im not disappointed tho. i mean i HAD anticipated a fairly dramatic drop in number of games once the novelty of the idea wore off but from 10 games a day to death in less than 2 weeks was a bit lol.
Oh Pickup games are down already? It was fast... 2 bad, i liked them, always good way to play with good players and with quite fair teams. And possibilty to play on custom maps o0 If there arent enough players maybe u should run pickup at certain time? like 6gmt everyday or smth...
umm i dont use aol i use a high speed cable modem... and im not bad.. let me know a good time to come through and tryout or play with u guys
