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!
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.
Results:
Game 1 (4v4)

Replays
I knew we should have collected phone numbers.
GG, sparda needs just a little therapy.
I think we should try again next week at the same day/time, only 4v6.
GG guys.
Alright, gg guys. If anyone wants any comments on the video let me know. Also Auqia, I'll leave it to you if you want me to upload the second game on youtube or not. Thanks all for playing, maybe we'll manage to get all six modders to show up some time.
Well even if Carbon manages to show up that time we'll still be short a modder. But if we get the people I'm game.
gg, next week we can try it again. Go for the same numbers intended for today. We did a 3vsAuqia and if it wasn't for a couple of bad strokes of luck, he would had us dead to rights. As it was, we just made it on attrition. Lucky on that.
Second game
Auqia vs. KrdaxDrkrun, Draakjacht, GoaFan77

Sorry--I had to go out of town unexpectedly for family and didn't make it back in time. Me sorry.
Late Sunday evenings are the easiest for me--I know that isn't true for all. Late Saturday nights are good too--but I know that cramps the Europeans. Earlier on either of those days is a lot less predictable.
I'll go watch the stuff.
Here's the replay of the first game:
Never mind, someone beat me to it.
I might be able to play next week. SWTOR beta is done.
From 9pm est on is always the best for me. I can usually arrange my schedule then for pretty much any night.
next weekend depends on when people want to get together. I think Saturday is better than Sunday for me.
I should be able to play next weekend at almost anytime.
I think that was only the second game. But here's the first game on YouTube, for you pros to enjoy from the perspective of the nooby modders. Sorry the intro didn't get recorded very well.
That was fun to watch.
You watched it all in 6 minutes?
Gee...way to make me feel even worse by crossing out my name in the intro....
I could tell that 10 minutes into the game I was screwed. Although I was able to keep Auqia from steamrolling over me the first battle, I knew he had me bottled up.
Honestly, I talked less than I thought and cursed more.
I don't see the replay of the first game up anywhere... there's the replay of Auqia's 3v1 and the youtube of the first game but the actual replay of the first one isn't up.
Will watch it tomorrow.
god dammit... i know you think this is all cool that we get to watch games on youtube and hear peoples conversations but it doesn't reveal the whole game! Someone please upload the replay for the first game. We want to watch to the match in game from different players perspective. Watched the second already.
Please post both youtube and in game replays? Don't make compromises.
Best quote lol: " We suck but we are doing ok" lol who was that
lol " I barely have enough time to mod- how can i have time to practice " lol wtf is this excuse
Do you have Youtube of the second game?
That was probaby Krdax or myself. And yes, some of us haven't played a video game in months because of other commitments.
You guys are funny. Whens the next game?
I have photographic memory
I liked the whining parts the best when people were being crushed.
I'm sensitive. [e digicons]:'([/e]
Just deathly honest. I might be able to squeeze two games a week.
Well, we were thinking to set one up this weekend. Same sort of setup, but with the originally intended ratios. We can rotate people out to give everyone a fair go at it.
Who's game?
