Archive of the pros versus modders game and current MP setup thread

As most of us know, there are two main communities in Sins of a Solar Empire, one for multiplayer and one for modding. Bar the occasional group of friends playing a mod on ICO together however, these two communities rarely interact with each other, besides occasional discussions of game balance.

 

Therefore I propose a little icebreaker in the true Sins fashion, complete with the typical disintegration of metal, screams of nuked worlds, and if we're lucky even the rare space pony sighting, that we've all come to know and love, regardless of which form of Sins we get most of our entertainment from. Yes, I think its time for the first ever Pro Player vs Modders MP game! :grin:

 

Of course as we are meeting in the Pro player's home court, I think in the interest of a semi-interesting game the modders will need a team advantage of some sort. Any ideas on the exact number of players on each team as well as the best time to arrange this will be welcome (I'd guess sometime on Thanksgiving weekend). And of course, if you're interested do let us know.

I'd like to have one pro player sort of be in charge of the logistics of making the game who promises to be there, presumably if any of the other pros don't show we can find substitutes at the game launch. As modders don't often log on to ICO don't commit unless you're sure you can make it at whatever time we agree on. Also if possible I think it would be nice for as many different mods as possible to be represented, but obviously filling the roster comes first.

I think 3v6 might be the most balanced.

I like the idea of 4vs7 to be honest. :-D

 

I think we need to recruit!

In my defense ... I was tired and was not thinking properly ... :D (I have known that the max number of players is 10, I just failed to take into account the possibility that 4+7=11 !!! X| )

Nooooooooo....see I thought you were just kidding...and then I was just giving you a harder time than Wrath....

Now I feel bad :-(

To be honest Boshimi, I almost posted the same suggestion...then I realized you can't have eleven players, and felt very fortunate to not have exposed all my stupidity to world....

The only game I tried to record I minidumped, and ironcially that seems to have killed both the replay and recording file. I will try to upload the replay of the last game we played that we quit do to lag.

The forums themselves are quite buggy in general, unfortunately...

I can't say I'll be there, so I promise nothing. I think I might have the replay of our last to do. Will see about it later.

Reply #397 Top

I will of course return for a second helping of personal and epic victory for me.  The later the better--might be 9pm est before I can show but some chance I can make it at 7.

I will likely be in the same boat as Sinperium if I can get back in time. I have a company dinner the wife and I will be headed to.

Cmon modders - you can all make it. Be better than the pros in getting a team together

The Pros are pros because they don't have any issues frequenting ICO...they are by their very nature the people most likely to get a team together on ICO for any purpose....
