Hasty mission play event 28 October 2011

[Buehgler_AS]

Ok folks here we go again. And again I will start by apologizing for not having enough time to fully organize this -- I have been fighting a cold and work issues all week. At the moment I have not had enough time to get servers fully configured and missions selected. I will focus on the server update issues (mostly integrating Robalo's recent config and auto-weapon-crate changes) so that we can have our choice of missions. Finally I will try to pick a few of Sander's missions that seem well suited for however many people sign up to play.


Date/Time: 0115 UTC 29 Oct 2011 (that's Friday at 9:15pm EDT)
Location: Alpha Squad TS, Alpha Squad US1 server
Missions: 2-3 missions targeted for 4-10 players, expected mission duration ~90min each


Please be sure you check for updates via SU prior to joining.


Please indicate by replying to this thread if you plan on joining us along with any time/role restrictions you have. If we do not have at least 4 people signed up to play, we will postpone/reschedule this (maybe to Saturday evening).


Buehgler will participate, I will be online by 0000 UTC and should able to play until ~0500 UTC. I will fill whatever role is needed, slight preference for AT/MG. If my cold allows the higher brain functions I will be happy to lead a mission.

[Dodger+SD]

Sorry about your cold but glad to see I am not the only one suffering. If I am not knocked out by O'ding on cold meds I will be there. Prefer medic or scout/sniper.

[Robalo_AS]

I'll set my alarm for 2345 Zulu then
Happy to fill any role, with a lower preference for sniper rifles or MGs.

[Grunt_AS]

I will not be able to be online until most likely 9:15 EDT. Rifleman, MG unit...or any thing that needs doing....

[Splint]

I will be there around 7pm PST. No pref.

[Buehgler_AS]

Ok let's delay start until 0115 UTC when Grunt will be able to join. First post updated.

[Robalo_AS]

Do we get a candy for having all mods up to date before 0115 ?

[Dodger+SD]

Sorry guys, feeling better but Marshall needs me to babysit for him tonight.

[Buehgler_AS]

No candy for Dodger Good luck with the kids!

I think I deserve a cookie, I believe I have our mod set updated to successfully take advantage of Robalo's most recent efforts. I am keeping my fingers crossed that I have not broken anything too badly.

Please go ahead and confirm that you are fully updated and send me a note if you see any errors.

Thanks Buehg and Grunt for playing, I wish we had more firepower to win one. We were close to winning one though if it wasn't for the guy that JIP'ed without ACE and crashed the server

Found the fix for that, applied on my server and documented here: http://bzbit.com/arma/?p=121
