Official "Fill the Server!" Thread

[fenster]

I decided to rename this thread with a more appropriate title since it seems like we can just use this to decide when we're going to try and fill the server on a given night. We're attracting some more people and it seems like filling is getting a *little* easier at the right times but we still need to collaborate on when everyone will jump on. So just use this thread if you want to hop on any given night and/or respond to an already planned time. Original post below.


----------------------
Doubt anybody will actually read this before the end of the night, but I'm back home (yay!) and totally itching for some TF2. I'll be in other servers probably but if we have enough interested I'm down for trying to fill dustbowl or bw/gl.

[Trosck]

Will most likely jump on in a bit.

[shK]

I'll be playing tonight if anyone wants to join. I plan on being on around 7:30 or 8:00 pm on the dustbowl server. See you then.

[fenster]

I'll be there, of course. :)

[malkierx]

Sounds good. I'll try to be on around 8ish or so

[Trosck]

I'll try to jump on.

[fenster]

Let's play on the GL/BW server tonight. Payload isn't getting enough love.

[shK]

Dustbowl at 9pm!

[shK]

Fenster and I are getting on at 10:00 PM CST to play if anyone wants to join :-) Meet in dustbowl server!

[fenster]

Edited the OP to make this a generic planning thread on when we will fill the servers. Have at it!

[shK]

Anyone up for 7:00 PMish tonight?

[The Announcer]

If that's CST, I'll probably have nothing better to do.

[fenster]

7 CST I can do. Count me in.

[shK]

If that's CST, I'll probably have nothing better to do.

CST is always the way we roll :cool:. See you then!

[shK]

Tonight again around 7:00 PM CST? I'm not sure how long I'll stay on, but hopefully we can fill it again! :-)

[fenster]

Well, I knew the server would take dedication, so what the hell. I'll be there.

[XiD]

sure i'll be around tonight

[shK]

7:00 PM CST again tonight?

I may not be there. I might be out of town for the early part of the night, but I should be back on later tonight.

Also, I am going to start posting these times in the steam community group, so people that are not regulars on our forums can see when we play. The times will be posted in the events section of our steam group page, found at http://steamcommunity.com/groups/maverickgaming

[Trosck]

I'll jump on for a bit.

[fenster]

I'm not sure what I'm up to, but seeing as how I don't have any plans it's likely I'll be there.

[XiD]

I am leaving for milwaukee sometime tonight, so I might be gone by then. we'll see.

[shK]

3:00 PM today guys, if anyone is interested!

[malkierx]

I'm there.

[fenster]

I'm there.

You totally weren't there.

[shK]

I'm planning on playing after the packer game tomorrow. If any one else is interested, be there!

[shK]

Tonight at 6:00 PM?

[fenster]

If I can tear myself away from Arkham Asylum, I will be there.

[Trosck]

Most likely won't be there. Gonna get some stuff done that was slated for begining of break, and Dragon Age seems to have gotten a hold of my soul...sooo..can't lose that.

[shK]

Alright guys, plan is to get dustbowl filled, and then we will slowly move to the payload server 2 at a time. I'll probably stay back in dustbowl to make sure it stays going :-)

[fenster]

Since server duties are on my shoulders tonight, I'll probably hop on around 7:30. Hope to see you guys there.

[Trosck]

I'll try to make a point of jumping on for a little bit before I go play some more DAO.

[shK]

I hope to try and jump on around 10:30PM

[shK]

Anyone up for playing tonight around 7:30?

[fenster]

Yeah I'll be there. Might not stay all night this time because I seriously played for 6 or 7 hours last night. o_o

[shK]

Yeah I'll be there. Might not stay all night this time because I seriously played for 6 or 7 hours last night. o_o

boo!

[fenster]

What I'll probably do is hop on at 7:30 to help it fill, then when it gets going I'll check out until 10 or 11 and then help it ride out as long as possible.

[Trosck]

Wing night...

[Raethen]

I'll try to join in.

Trosck - GET THE WINGS TO GO!!!! C'MON COMMODORE!

[Trosck]

As a former manager of Brothers, you should know that they strictly enforce their "no wings outside the premise" policy. You will most likely come back with a retort akin to: "C'mon! You're the Commodore! Make it happen!" To which I would reply: "stfu"

Sooo...we can just skip that whole conversation, I can eat some delciouse wings, and you all can kill each other. Of course, you'll note your play to be slightly easier due to my lack of firing $200 custom tooled cartridges at 10,000 rounds per minute into your cowardly soon to be carcasses. See? Everyone wins!

[Raethen]

Watch your back man. SPY!

[shK]

7:30 PM CST again tonight guys? I have a Counter-Strike 1.6 match at some point tonight, not sure what time yet. I believe it will be around 9:00 PM. It should only last about 45 minutes, so I should be on before and after that!

[Trosck]

I'll make a point of getting on for a while tonight. Can't let toast pass me!

[fenster]

At the very least I'll help it fill. Knowing me, will probably stick around for longer than even I would like. :)

[XiD]

guitar tonight a 7, will be on around 7:45

[XiD]

btw can we do something other than dustbowl? we have been playing dustbowl like 8 nights in a row >_>

what say all of you to trying goldrush or our CP rotation?

[shK]

I want to keep going with dustbowl. We are on a good role and I don't want to screw that up now. We are going to play on the other servers at the LAN.

[fenster]

Yeah, we realize Dustbowl is becoming a bit of a grind for some of you, but for the sake of attracting others to the server, we think we need to keep filling it on a nightly basis. We actually have a pretty fair amount of regulars who swing by every night, and we'd like to keep them coming back while we attract even more people.

Eventually (probably soon), we will eventually try filling Dustbowl, once it gets going, we'll start a few others on another server. Or, what we can do, is if we have enough interested we can organize filling both at the same time, so long as neither server suffers for it (i.e. we have enough people). In any event, we'll figure out something soon but for now we appreciate everyone's patience in playing Dustbowl constantly. :P

[JoeDusk]

I have no problem with dustbowl :)

[shK]

I'll be on tonight around 9:00 PM CST. Be there if you are interested

[JoeDusk]

I might not be on, that would be 11 pm by me and right now parents are a bit angry at my late night shifts on the net :p

[shK]

I should be on tonight around 6:30 or 7:00 PM CST.

[shK]

I am planning on playing tonight around 7:30 PM CST. Be there if you are interested!

[shK]

Since we didn't get to play much tonight due to the server outage, I will definitely be on tomorrow around 7:00 PM CST.

[Trosck]

BoC meeting and Wing night...nuff said

[fenster]

Well I have my fancy new blu-ray player to play with, but I'll hop on at 7 to help fill at the very least.

[shK]

I will probably be on sometime around 7:00 PM CST. I plan on taking an hour break (from 8:00 PM - 9:00 PM CST) for Fringe, but will be on right afterwards! See everyone then?

[JoeDusk]

Might be difficult coming on tonight, gf's pretty moody recently ><

I'll see what I can do

[shK]

I am going out of town this weekend, but I'm going to try to hop on whenever I can. Anyone willing to try and fill a server or two this weekend? :)

[Terremer]

I should be on...all weekend :D Have some work to do but that shouldn't be much of a problem.

[fenster]

I'll probably try and fill Dustbowl every night this weekend. Not sure how long I'll be on or when, but around 6 is probably likely both nights.

It seems like Dustbowl has been filling the easiest since the IP change, so let's roll with that until we work ourselves back up.

[fenster]

Today my plan is to be a professional bum. Soooo I'm pretty much willing hop on TF2 at any time...if anybody has a time in mind feel free to throw it out there.

[Terremer]

I'll be around my computer all day today and tomorrow, might be doing some homework but i'm down for some gaming as well

[shK]

I should be on sunday night to play. Not positive what time I'll be on yet, but i'm hoping by 6 PM CST

[shK]

I should be on around 7:30 or 8:00 PM CST. Anyone game?

[shK]

I'll be on tonight around 8:00 PM CST. Anyone interested?

[fenster]

Should be there. If I can tear myself away from Borderlands. :)

[shK]

I'm just going to say that I will be on almost any night anytime between 7:30 PM - 9:30 PM. No point in posting the same thing every day! :)

[JoeDusk]

*shudders*

[DirkDiggler]

Where is everybody?

[fenster]

Guys, I don't play for one night and nobody tries to fill? Come on!

EDIT: Not entirely true, I must give Dr. some credit because he wanted to play just as I was leaving.

[shK]

Trying to get this damn xv6 working! wth!

[Raethen]

Trying to get this damn xv6 working! wth!

Fail!

[shK]

I should be on sometime around 7:15 PM, unless something else comes up! :-P (Let's hope the servers stay up tonight!)

[Raethen]

I am logging in now. See ya then!

[rerato]

Anybody playing tonight? We're a decent way through our game and looking to take a little break. I've been pushing the mavgaming servers here at the game jam.

[Orion]

Sweet, the more people know about us the better. I'll probably be on but, not till later.

[shK]

I'm pretty busy this week. I hope to make it on a few times this week. I hopefully will be on around 10:30 PM tonight, if anyone else is on!

[Orion]

I might be around later too. I guess we'll see then.

[shK]

Alright guys, we have been slacking on the servers! Fenster and I are going to be pretty busy until Friday. So how about we try to get on Friday and/or Saturday evening and fill the servers? If we have a enough people, we could even try and fill 2 of the servers (payload and dustbowl). Let us know if you can make it on either of these nights!

[Orion]

I'll be around tonight and all weekend. You guys should give us other, less busy people, some hope as to when you'll be around to play. It's been FOR EVER since the servers have been full. I'm itching to play.

[fenster]

Yeah it's tough to hop on when I'm in the lab until past midnight every day. Guh. I might be around this weekend but I'm not sure how much time I'll have to hop on play. Might work more if someone throws out a time and I will try and be there.

[shK]

Indeed. I should be on tonight at some point. Anyone game? Shall we say 7:30 PM CST or another time?

[rerato]

I'm itching to play.

You might want to get that checked out...

[shK]

You might want to get that checked out...

haha

[Orion]

I'll probably be on around 9 pm. A new Caprica is on at 8, so I'll be watching that until then.

[shK]

I'm going to set an event up in steam for 10:00 PM CST. I may be able to make it a little before that, but I'm not sure yet.

[Thefranchise72]

I'll be there ;o

[DirkDiggler]

Post superbowl TF2?

League of Legends is down and I just bought my own account.

Dane

[DirkDiggler]

I plan to be on tomorrow night starting at 8 or 9. My friend who's been playing this for a few years has been anxious to play with me since I got it so he'll probably be on too.

Hope to see people there.

[shK]

I'm going to try and make it on, no promises!

[Raethen]

Sitting here capping and defending looking for at least one person to join.

[shK]

I plan on playing on dustbowl tonight at 8:30 PM CST. Hopefully a few of you can join me... :)

[shK]

I may have a CS match at 9:30, so I may have to step out for a bit. We'll see!

[Orion]

Sure make time for CS but not for TF2? What is that all about?

[shK]

Anyone up for some TF2 tonight? If so, what time?!

[Orion]

Any TF2 tonight, or is it all LoL?

[shK]

I wish, but I think we all know the answer to that..

[JoeDusk]

Let's try to fill the server up for the weekend!, a wee bit early maybe around 7 CST? I can jump into the tf2 server any days if you guys plan on it. Tired of killing everything in cod, Literally.

[shK]

Agreed. I can play any night this weekend after 7:00 or 8:00 PM CST.

[fenster]

FYI I will not be around tonight so I can't help populate. I think we may be to the point where if we have just one person post an event (remember to post an event, not an announcement) to the MavGaming group and try and fill it might work. At any rate you guys are on your own tonight. :)

[shK]

Anyone up for playing tonight?!

[fenster]

I'll be around, should be able to.

[shK]

I'll be around the following days this week to fill:

Monday
Wednesday
Thursday
and possibly a day or two this weekend.

[fenster]

I am usually around most nights except for Thursdays, which almost never work for me.

But yeah that being said, we should be trying to fill earlier rather than later, since it's a CST server probably around 5 or 6 CST. And I can't typically get on until like, 9 CST. :P

[shK]

That is convenient for you, isn't it? :-P

Xid/CTAF - What does your week look like?!
