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.

Not without our bumps... damned egg.
My pathetic efforts were useless...but you guys always wait for me to go to the bathroom or change diapers and then attack me--or pretend like you quit and then sucker-punch me.
Next time your Jedi mind tricks will not work.
Actually, ya'll did a really good job.
This is not the Garda you are looking for.
Thanks. You did a pretty good job of surprising us early on. I think you would have had a better chance against Zombie had your second fleet not been dumped into a dead end.
Speaking of Garda ... my TEC flak frigate only took almost 2 hours to destroy a single pirate flak frigate ...
Sorry I didn't make it this weekend, holidays are always busy and I wasn't feeling that well. Maybe this Friday as I assume people with have plans Christmas eve.
NP--I was watching grandson and changing diapers while playing with the worst headache I've had in10 years..but I understand...you wimp.
It's ok--we all just talked about you while you were gone
Grandson? Wow you're older than I'dve thought. Didn't know this sort of thing had such wide appeal.
That's fine, let me guess, something about my microphone being a banana, me just sitting there while I let my teammates die, me running away from Zombie instead of sticking it out and fighting it, how uncreative a Star Wars mod is or maybe ranting why I undeserving have more Karma than any modder but Ryat. Did I miss anything?
Did you hear him on the Modders Free for All video? Makes quite a few references to things I assume are older than I am.
Hehe. I remember the 80's.
I blame the parents.
So do I. Aim farther back.
I'm nostalgic for times I wasn't even alive ... the good old roaring 20's and classic hot rod 50's.
Sinperium remembers those days also.
Yes--but I wasn't admitting that.
Tell me about the time when man discovered hot water.
When I was a kid we had to walk all the way across the living room to change the channel on our TV set.
When I was a kid, we had to do the same. And the plastic knob on our tv broke, so we had to use pliers.
Must have been nice to grow up in such a large house you had to walk all the way across the living room.
When I was a kid...
Our knobs were made of wood and we had to use two tree limbs as pliers.
As to my house, my dad would toss me up and catch me over and over all day long when I was little...but we had really, really low ceilings.
That explains the interesting memories.
I have a hard time now remembering stuff.
That's just due to the overcrowding and prioritization of ideas brought on due to 'old age'. It's normal.
