Rightio, after tonight stuffing, I think we should try and have an official night where we get together and train. Any ideas?

Personally tuesdays thursdays, and maybe sundays are good for me. We can take over some empty server, and train our tats off.

Any thoughts?

I thought this might have been a good idea, seeing as we had good numbers last night.

Well, Wednesday are perfect, as are Sunday afternoons. Any other night will require time away from my good lady, and I'll have to get permission slips signed in triplicate.

Looks like there could be a session tonight in the GF5 thread.

If you need some relative CS noobs to act as moving targets/sparring partners, I can always try stop by during a praccie session.

Same here - If no one shows on LIVE tonight I may well look for y'all. Still use Xfire to get into games?

yeah we've all dusted off xfire by the looks of it peej.
Or pop into IRC.

I might give Fable another go tonight, so may or may not be on CS. All depends if I decide Fable is the sort of game I can be assed to play.

I vote for tuesday nights for practice.

Maybe it'd be a good idea to implement a buddy system. So like each person is partnered with another and during training they stick together and get used to how each other plays. Change the buddy every 2 weeks or so and then everyone gets used to each others style. Whatcha think?

Sounds kinky.

It's a good plan, it's just a shame that people will rarely be on at the same time. That said, we could just do it in an Ad-hoc manner - see who's on the server, split up into a couple of teams, and each head in a different direction on the map. It'd be good to come up with some good tactics - I've seen a few myself, where one guy acts as bait, lures the others in where they promptly get wasted by his waiting teammates.

Tuesday nights would be good for me too, because Mrs Peej won't be doing the "bum in face" thing as she goes out on tuesday nights (lap / pole dancing I think...)

Oh god I've just signed my own death warrant.

This is a good idea, I am free most nights. No life! I will keep my eye on xfire, add me if you haven't already

xfire = cheese001

The buddy system is a good idea, in fact me and medulla were putting this in action last night. We went off together and camped (that sounds very gay I know), but we kicked ass and racked up a lot of kills, won a few rounds cuase of it. But I suppose you have to take in to consideration that we were on a public server with some crap players.

We all need to get some team speak going, as well.

Maybe I read that wrong but it sounded like your saying that Tuesday night is the only night your view of your monitor isn't blocked by your Mrs posterior action?

Man, I don't know whether to feel sorry for you or not.

Theres a few of us that seem to be doing ad-hoc practise at the mo, but its usually with loads of other non-EG'ers (/spits). But seeing as there were quite a few on last night for the clan match, I thought it might be a good idea to have a night where we all know there will be alot of us on, then we could grab an empty server, and practise some tactics and stuff.

So Tuesdays and wednesday seem fav atm. I'd favour tuesday, as I play footie at random times on a wednesday.

I dunno any of themaps really.
I think I played two of them.

But generally, "run your legs off to get to the choke points first" is a sound one.
You just have to make sure all chokepoints are covered of course.

Mus admit my knowledge is pretty poor. Getting the hang of the Dusts and Aztec, then maybe Office. Me and Cheese were playing a new one last night, cant remember what it was called as the Farm bought Scrumpy was starting to kick in.
