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.

Idk if I can get on tonight....maybe saturday....
I win by default. Oh ... and Kit-Kat is considered a cookie, more specifically, a chocolate covered 'wafer-cookie'.
I really do want to get on tonight...but I have to be somewhere....
Oh we know.
Still, if anyone is around I'll try to stay on teamspeak till I crash.
Attention all modders or people wanting a random MP game (possibly with mods), we WILL be having games tonight, in order to test out the prototype ICO server. Your presence will be appreciated, and Boshimi, Carbon and Sinperium are to attend or face punishment of death. That is all.
Cake please!!!
Sinperium had grand kids over and then has a sick wife tonight. I may be able to squeeze on tomorrow.
Well you were the only no show last night. I would look soft if I excused you from your punishment.
Tell you what though, I'm a nice guy. I'll pardon you if you can beat Zombie in a 1v1 match tomorrow.
Video or it didnt happen!
I shall represent in all...
You guys ready to rock out Friday night?! I propose a 'Fast' settings (no faster) with pirates on FFA! I'll be around between 9pm-10pm till whenever we finish. Vanilla Rebellion or a specific mod, doesn't matter.
If I'm done with all my work for this semester count me in. Here are the mods I have installed that work for 1.1, if they're are any more speak up ASAP.
1. Blood and Chrome
2. Enhanced 4X
3. Infinite Space
4. Sins of a Galactic Empire
The new B5 mod is out with a hotpatch for the latest version of Trinity. Should be 4 or 5 months before they have a working version for Rebellion. Something to keep in mind too.
I think Distant Stars recently updated as well, though it's still a port from Trinity and has some bug issues.
Yeah, I was assuming mods for Rebellion with a moderate expectation of stability.
Well turns out I'll be flying Friday night... I might be on but it will be no earlier than 10.
Hanging out on your G5?
I can't say any of these was stood out as being what you meant.
... cookies?
Sorry, that link was broken. Meant to link the wikipedia page...

Eh, your choice.
Alright guys, we really need to get back into regular modded Sins games. I have a new version of my mod I'd love feedback on sometime, but I really don't care what we play. Will tomorrow evening work?
Also, if anyone else is interested in playing some of these matches, post here you're interested and add me on Steam.
I can play tomorrow....
Sweet. And if Seleuceia can make it on a Friday, I know the rest of you can.
With my new schedule Friday nights are 'so-so' ... tonight won't work. Saturday nights are right out.
