Hello people.
I've decided that I would like to start a steam group called CG Game Day.
On a set day once a week we will play games that we can agree on for as long as you'd like.
The day has not been set yet as I would like to know what would work for you guys.
I would be able to this Tuesday and Thursday the longest. Wedsday and Friday I wouldn't be on as long.
Crow and I have decided to use the official CG steam page for this.
If you'd like to be part of this go ahead and leave a comment and I'll add your name to the post.
Thanks!
Currently In: Nexus, Molk, Nucleartaco, Pckables, Echo, Pyro, Skyguy, Link, Bananna, HeLLoKiTTY, Burgers-13, Abka, Arth, Crow, Mercy, Death, Cash, Lone Mudkips, Tyber, mjb, Billy, HerpDerp, Yahtzee, Kingtrue

This has been tried, and never really worked ever.
-
I'll do it.
-
I don't have high hopes for this, but sure, I'll give it a whirl.

Come up with some good, big(more than six players,) games, and I'm in for sure.

Theres only a few games that i can think of right now and there are L4D2 versus, CS:S, and Minecraft. But we would do more than that.

Making another group would not be necessary. I like the concept however, and would support putting up announcements on the official CG steam page whatever times would be good for this sort of thing. I tried just a little in the past to put up announcements on the page, but nobody really seemed to care, but its worth another shot.
-
I'm in.

I'll be honest as to why this won't work out.
As a whole CG works out "Pretty" well, but individually there's a lot of fighting between people.
There are people who I know don't like me, and for a reasonable part, I don't like them. This can be said for roughly 80% of the community and we usually stick to our respective games and avoid conflict with one another.
However, when you volunteer for something like "Game Night" you're making a commitment to play which ever game comes up, with whoever else signed up. This means there's a large chance you could be signing up to play a game with someone who either doesn't like you, or you don't like.
This will lead to fights in most games, especially ones that require Co-op. It's also become more aggressive if you happen to be playing a "Versus" game against someone you don't like.
It is a nice concept, but in the grand scheme of things it'll eventually devolve into fighting.
-
I'll do it.

I agree, and Crow sucks.
-
I would do it but my pc sucks and can only run certain games. If your ever playing something source related though I'd join you all :).
-
I'm in to play. I will be that awkward guy hiding in the corner.

Why can't we be friends.
And I'm good
-
I'm in. I don't how many games, but I have some that were mentioned.
-
sign me on

I'll play :s

It's an attitude like that that would devolve a game night into fighting.
Anyway, sign me up. I'm down4vidya

I'm in.
Once more, with feeling!

So this is what I suggest we do gentlemen
1. Join the official CG group. This is where all the messages will come from. Link:http://steamcommunity.com/groups/conjointgaminggroup
2. We will come up with a schedule within the next two or three days. Lets not set any kind of hard schedule, but I will merely announce through the CG group when we will be playing whatever games we want to play. Now what I mean by schedule is:
-A good time for everybody. I suggest 0000 Zulu (Thats 2000/8PM EST). If that doesn't work for the majority, I would set it an hour later
- What days we want to play certain games or what games we want to play. Either something like L4D2 monday, TTT Tuesday etc or a rotation of sorts. Obviously we can be pretty flexible with that as well, and try new games.
- I suggest Vent will be the best way to communicate. I know some of you don't like it but CG pays for it, and increase traffic for Vent will be good for CG
Thoughts?
-
I'll play. The idea sounds good, as long as like Crow said, there isn't a hard/strict schedule. Other people do have points as to why this may not work but who knows. It'll bring the community together more (other than by the forums) because other people will be playing other games (with others of the community) more than they usually might.

IM INTO THIS, IM INTO THIS REAL HAAAAAAAAAAAARD. frogsiren

-A good time for everybody. I suggest 0000 Zulu (Thats 2000/8PM EST). If that doesn't work for the majority, I would set it an hour later
If this is the set time for every time we play, then I'm out of this, because I'm not going to wait/get up at 2 AM to play with you guys.

Like I said it can be flexible, but just understand that most of us aren't around to play during a time that would be good for European. I say most, but there should be enough people around to even set up two times a day so that everybody can play. The beauty of this is nothing should be set in stone, except for Vent and It going through the official CG page.

I don't have CSS or L4D2 but sure...
Basically I won't be playing TTT either since I don't have most of the maps =P and the weapons are error messages. Maybe if I ever buy CSS I'll play though.

What about that Obsidian Conflict game that we were all suppose to play?

Get a good server up for it; It's much more fun if the server was stable.
Plus I don't think Tic could handle more than five players. Six on a good day :I

You shut your fat hussy mouth
I can carry the entire community on my server like I carried us versus the Geth Primes.

You mean very slowly, with a long wait delay? trollface

Wasn't OC supposed to be last friday according to that thread, and tic still hadn't come online by 9pm? :P
-
Sign me up for this. My only objection is that I have an irrational hate for Vent, but other than that it sounds like a blast
-
Vent is pretty terrible
-
Vent is not terrible, you're just mentally incapable of using it.

Why would I want to have to listen to everyone else who feels like joining the channel in Vent when I can do Steam group chat with just my friends who are in the game I'm playing.
Vent's a waste of harddrive space

Because steam group chat is WORSE.
Vent is good if you have your own room, but if you're getting around with a few friends for a fun game you might as well just use something like Skype, it's not that great but it's better than steam, and less trollable than vent.
I don't remember anything about teamspeak though.
-

I worded that wrong, I mean making a chat with a few friends then turning on the voice.
NOT using the steam group (I dunno why I said group dat was wrong)
-
Vent is definitely crap, although there are worse options. Teamspeak, raidcall, and mumble are all better alternatives.
-
Just a few rules
1. No rage quitting. This doesn't include if you have to do something or leave early, but if the game isn't going good for you, please don't rage quit
2. Vent is a requirement. It is what we will use to communicate in game. I know a few absolutely hate it so this is subject to change.
3. All other CG rules apply, such as racism, sexism etc. This goes double for personal attacks. This is suppose to be a fun time to play with your fellow CG'ers

Or if you just don't want to go into vent, you can type in-game as the games we are playing have chat. People may not pay as much attention if you do this though.

I'm out, Vent is the most annoying thing when all the games are First Person Shooters and I don't have any buttons to assign because i'm USING everything. I have no issues with steam or even in-game voice, but vent is a pain.

Honestly, a steam voice chat works best imo.
...plus I'm not planning on using a mic. Anytime soon.
Or really, ever.

I find steam voice chat is quiet so you really can't hear the other person(s) mid-game ,but other than that I see no other problems with it
-
Is your mic volume maxed for steam mic chat?

Yep

Vent: 2Mb
If you are that pressed for space your issues run deeper then it being a waste of space.

Bull Crap Sir. There are always buttons left.
And most people have a mouse with 4-5 Buttons. It's usually quite wise to use one of them.
Vent is the most simple least painful thing ever.

Such a wisdom filled sentence.

Bind talk in vent to mouse 3 (As in you push in the scroll wheel to talk) or just... yu know... have it on always on :/

I have a 3 button mouse, if I had a mouse with more buttons then I probably wouldn't have such a problem with it, but I also haven't found a 5+ button mouse that didn't annoy that crap out of me. ever think of that? How about that I use the scroll wheel and so Mouse 3 would interrupt that.
-

I have my receive volume maxed out and i have trouble hearing the other person.

Mouse 3 is reload =P
All my weapon functions go on the mouse, and all the buttons around wasd are various combat adn contextual commands

Jeez guys. People in vent understand if you have background noise, so whats the problem with keeping on always talk? And for Pck, scrolling doesn't interrupt the mouse 3 button, in order to talk you'll have to actually PUSH IN the middle mouse button. That's what I have it bound to anyway.
-
I'd say its time to get this thing rolling starting Monday.
What do you guys think about this rotation? I know that the minecraft server has not been updated yet so what should we replace it with for now?
Minecraft monday
TTT Tuesday
L4D2 Wedensday
TF2 Thursday
Friday Bitches rotation
-
I like it.
-
better late then never sign me up
-
Alright times will be 1600 (4pm EST) and 2000 (8pm EST)
-
Yes. Add me, bitch.
-
