Since we apparently have no good candidate for a multiplayer arcade for the time being, I think we should host various multiplayer gaming sessions at least once every week instead. Anyway, I'm curious about what games you think would be ideal for this?

A few ideas:

• Settlers of Catan (Up to 6 players, if I recall correctly.)
• Unreal Tournament (UT99 or 2004, probably... I haven't really played UT3 much, and it requires a fairly new computer) (Up to 32 players.)
• Alien Swarm (UT2004 mod that's still awesome. Up to 8 players, I think.)
• StarCraft (Up to 8 players.)
• Total Annihilation (The best strategy game of all time according to GameSpot. StarCraft was their second choice. Supports up to 8 players or so.)
• Serious Sam: The First Encounter (Constant action; no real way to "lose" in multiplayer co-op. Up to 16 players.)

Games like Baldur's Game II are awesome in co-op, but it kind of requires everyone who joined the first game to be present in all subsequent games. It's a bit hard to pull that off with more than three players.

though what you are thinking of may be goog for you but what about people who cant play/get the games

we should use like a free game that we can meet up in

Settlers is free.

I think we should still play games like BG2. Form smaller groups for those. Multiple groups. Maybe we could compete to see which groups do best.

Settlers is free.

That game was fun for a while. I didn't know it was free, though.

Can you find some texas hold 'em?

Let's all play Runescape!

runescape is for people who just has no life

Okay, we're going to start off with Unreal Tournament (UT99). We'll probably play three games of Capture The Flag followed by three games of Domination or Team Deathmatch (20 min per game). Depending on how many players will participate, we may change our plans a bit, and/or play other game types afterwards if there is sufficient interest.

Date: Saturday, June 13
Time: 8 PM EST

We'll probably play a few practice matches tomorrow, June 10, at 6 PM EST if there is sufficient interest. Also, the link will be gone before you know it!

Reply and state whether you're most definitely in, or may possibly be participating.

Throwing in my .02 here, but I think Saturday evening may be a bad time for some people. Normally I'm out and about on Saturdays, but meh who knows. It's a bad time for me at least.

We can host multiple UT sessions in the next few days, I guess. Do you have any suggestions for time(s) and date(s)?

Are we sure enough people will participate? I just finished downloading the UT file so count me in.

I will try and play but i've just been super busy during the entire 7day weeks. The biggest turnout day is the one i'm going to try and count myself in

So, three of us are potentially game? Fun.

I downloaded. Call me a noob, but what kind of game is it?

I'm interested in the idea, but am not available most of the weekend.

Hey, I'm in actually. Sounds fun.

Tomorrow at 8 PM EST? My days off are ___day and ____day, so one of those would be better in the future.

I also support playing Texas Hold'em. Pokerstars.net would work for this.

I'm definitely down for some texas hold'em.

!King_Amazon! is down for some texas hold'em. Make it so.

I'll host the UT99 server tonight. If everyone ends up with 250+ ping for whatever reason (which sounds unlikely since I have an 18 mbps upstream fiber connection, but since I live in Sweden...), is there anyone else who is willing to give it a try? If so, give information about your connection.
