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.

I always go around on St.Patrick's Day and talk with a fake Irish accent. A few years ago I went into a local grocery store and said, "Top o' the morning to you lass!" to the lady who was greeting at the door. She looked surprised and then all excitedly started talking Gaelic to me.
I told her I didn't speak Gaelic and she replied, "Oh--but your accent is so good? Where'd ya learn it?"
Shamefacedly I told her , "From 'Lucky Charms' commercials.".
She looked puzzled for a second and then--with the thickest Irish accent you could have--asked, "What's a lucky charm?".
I laughed all day--I wish I had it on tape.
BTW--I wouldn't tell a Scotsman his accent is the same as the Irish.
Also, has anyone else noticed the Corsev voice sounds just like Patrick Warburton?

No, what we need are Spanish highlanders voiced by Sean Connery.
Only if you can give us your best attempt at a soundbite Sparda!!!
Yeah, we have a great LRF captain.
Add to our sound mod, That sounds like a great Marza voice!
Always a classic!

So guys, Boshimi is impatient for a good old fashion Sins game like we used to have. I think you'd better comply before his ultra mega cookies of death invade the forums and delete you all!
... if my demands or not met, the saucer shaped cookies of doom will begin their circular based UCO abduction ... starting with the pudding.
Sorry guys...36 hours straight of web development. Argh.
Tell the cookies high for me when they abduct you. You were the only one who didn't show up.
He has already been abducted by the cookies.
I feel like I have been abducted. Still messing with the bazillion interlinked pages I have to make. Argh.
Ah, the torment of the ever changing maze of interlinked-ness. I'll give you a hint. The ______ are a lie!
What is Cake? Alex.
THE COOKIES ARE A LIE
Ah but the pudding is just plain bad! Vanilla ... yick.
I may not be on tonight until 9:30-10:00 CST. Wife decided to get sick, so I'm taking care of her until she crashes.
I stepped on my headset, and it broke...so if I do get on, prepare to be terrorized by my laptop's built in microphone...
Well I'm on right now if anyone wants to start the party.
No problem, we rarely get a game started before that anyways.
Edit: Though steam tells me we're supposed to try your mod today zombie. We wouldn't want to start without the expert to tell us what to do.
Ouch... but I think we can survive. I hope.
Ended up having a good game where we found a couple bugs but largely it was awesome.
Thanks GoaFan and Boshimi... Definitely nice to show off my mod finally to some of my fellow modders. Now to see if I can fix some of the issues
