I remember there was debate about this before.

If we do do one of the 'standard' games, we should have some sort of twist on it (all one class, low gravity evening, or something random).

Other than that, we need stuff we never play. The problem with this however is that if it is something different to normal a lot of people do not bother to take part.

there's nothing wrong with playing the big games, the idea is we get together as a community and play. If noone turns up it's not because we're playing one of the big games. These things are only good if people show up and we fill a server. Though, l4d should be removed because it doesn't cater for enough players. We can always jump onto l4d afterwards anyway.

I suggest putting poker up there, poker night went down well and I think it would be good for it to be on there.

I say we bet with TC's. everyone puts in the starting amount of TCs (I dunno, donate them a "poker bot" user)and who ever wins from each round gets it all.

But gambling for cash is illigal for anyone under 18 in the UK and this is the second best legal for everyone ever thing.

We could have a Community Friday Trophy signature or a special symbol by their name, or something like that, chosen for either the winner of a game, or the best player, that sort of thing. They can have that Trophy for one week until the next Community Friday where they can see if they can keep it.

The trophy itself would have no worth other than simply holding your head high and saying 'I was the best in last weeks Community Friday'.

Also, whilst I do not play poker, I do like schlurbi's idea that Techonians could be used in it.

It was Nannal's idea for TCs to be used. Which is a fairly good one, actually, and would actually give them some worth.

I'm not sure trophies for Community Friday would be a good idea, might make it too competitive and be hard to track anyway.

They problem is getting everyone to pay poker bot for X number of turns and then having everyone shell out


or alternatively you could just give the person with the most poker wins X number of techonians

I don't see why making Friday night so special would be an issue. I like the TC's idea, but poker serious isn't fun for me. I'll just go all in anyway cos it's entertaining.

If I play in any of this stuff, it's after a long week and a long journey home. So I don't neccesarilly wanna play some unknown, different game. I want to have fun, which would be a full server on tf2 quite happily. I'm not into all this lets plan exactly what we should do, we're having this 1999 game cos it's cheap at this time, etc. meh not fun for me

Maybe remove some of the bigger games that not a lot of people play

Like RA3 and DoW... Unfortunatly RTS isn't suited that well to community playing, its a bit long winded really...

People aren't raging as such.......ok well i'm not and i admit sometimes its hard to get it to work. Anyway it was mainly because its a good idea but needed refining and perfecting, which no one did, we all played and sorta didn;t care so it never got tweaked untill it worked in some way

I was referring to Schlurbi's post that triggered the swear filter 6 times with the rage thing.

l4d is too small for the number of people we have anyway.

raging isn't a productive way of going about things.

Yes. Yes it is.

Based on Ogris's reply.

For the rager it is, as long as they rage quit there and then believe the others will feel bad and change their ways.

Well, L4D could work, if we have 2 servers set up and both on vs... thats 16 people.

But then it isn't community Friday, its half the community Friday and then the other half

+1 to nannal. L4D should be removed as I said earlier.

I have to agree with Nannal and Wynney here.

I agree with mets and wynney, they are both very smart and would only believe in someone truly wise
