Oh... this is 8 EST, which means it's 5 for me. Hm... I might be able to make the latter half, but no promises. Judging by what's going on over here, I'm not going to be very available today. Busy, busy. 

@ Gree, It isn't starting for another three hours.

This topic's been up all week !

Oh... wow. Time flies. 

Oh wow, I just realized this is tomorrow. 

Sure you don't want to wait a week to allow people time to see this?

Whoah, fancy stuff. 

This is definitely something I'll keep my eyes on. Especially looking forward to seeing those AI gunships. Awesomesauce Napseeker. 

I'll probably be able to make it. Saturday later afternoon is a wee bit tricky though cause that's usually when I'm playing with Lief and MF, or we might be watching Clone Wars, which we only get to watch on Saturdays. So, all in all, no promises but I hope to be there.

I think instead of stressing about the 1 second rule we should stress about confirming a host and what day

Not much we can do about that until a hoster offers to host.

Well, that's from your own experience. I haven't seen many players on GR lately. In other words, we'll see, but I doubt I'll be one of the best.

@ earlier post,  I just realized I said there were a 'couple' better than me. LOL.

I meant a 'dozen'.

It's one second of immunity, I dunno about you, but it's not that big of a deal. If you can do soemthing in that one second, good for you I guess.

It happens rarely enough. 

@ Gree, since when did I become one of the best?  Last I looked there were about a couple players on MPC who could kick me into a garbage can and toast it afterwards.

Why are we still debating this? JK and I have said the decision is final.

The little immunity thing does tend to throw me off. For one, there's always the issue of opposite-spawn kill, when the spawner has fast enough reflexes to blow anyone in the vicinity sky high with a rocket. I've done it several times myself. It does feel a little cheep if you get that moment of invincibility to protect you while you're shooting down your enemy. :/

Still, I can see the reasons, and I'll abide. 

Welcome to MPC, Gree.

Most of the time the older mac vets like no CPs - all units from what I've seen from my brief forays onto GR. At least that's the name of the game with CC. CPs are probably allowed with most other maps like mustafar, utapau, citadel. Haven't seen one of those maps played in ages, though.

I've heard pretty much everything from blasters to droidekas called nooby. Personally, I put zero stock in any of it. All units can be taken down. All it takes is some skill and a little bit of know-how on how the units work. Zappies, jets, blobbies, sure they're dangerous, just means you have to watch yourself. Doesn't mean the other player's a noob. You can kill him, he can kill you. It's the same as with all units. Jet troopers for example have low health. Makes blasting them down with a blaster not that difficult.

Each unit has its own advantages and disadvantages. Some people have used one unit more than others, which makes them naturally better with the individual units. It's called skill, not noobiness. If you can't beat someone using a particular type of unit, it just means you need to get better, not that the other needs to stop using his unit of choice.

Personally, I like variety. Blasters, blobbies, missiles, all make good sport. Once you get over the notion that you should have a positive score for reputation's sake things get a lot funner, IMHO.

Looking forward to this getting started. Haven't played a decent sized SWBF game in a long time. Btw, BD, might want to leave some spots open. It's perfectly plausible we might pick up stray players wanting to join for a couple maps and then disappearing again. I kinda doubt MF will be joining, but it might be nice to leave it possible for people like him who aren't interested in signing up the option of participating.

Yo Dresh. Good to see you again. How've things been? 

Woot! An SWBF Tourney! Yay! 

Finally.

I'll try to be there, but I'll forewarn you my memory's pretty bad. I'd prefer Imps, but if you need me on Rebels to balance, I can go with that. 

Have some good fishing. 

*ahem*

I have returned to MPCgamers to wield my great arsenal and retake the highest number of deaths in every battle. 

Heh, we'll see if our memory holds up. Probably not, but one can always hope.

Have fun all the rest of you blokes!
