Planetside Saturdays - Approaching Platoon Size - CaffeinePowered - 12-31-2008
Last week I made a nice little list of everyone that had come out at some point and asked everyone to come out, well we ended up with a really great showing of 16 people at peak and even ended the night with 9 people still on at something like 2am est. If some of the people who have been telling me that they will be out this weekend we just might hit close to 25 people, 5 people shy of a full platoon.
When you get up to that size of a group that's when things really start to get interesting and you get things like a full galaxy + armor column and can start taking bases and the like on our own. The VS have really been hurting population wise and if we can't match enemy numbers we need to beat them with coordination and tactics. Should we hit something like 25 people or more I have some interesting plans for things we could do with that number of people. We also might hit the ventrilo population limit if we aren't careful.
Recommended Certs:
Medium Assault (2)
Any two man vehicle or one man aircraft (2 - 3+)
Also if you don't come out you are missing out on drunken British people, Wedge smack talking, and me epicly bitching about everything
Day: SATURDAY
Time: 7pm cst
Ventrilo is mandatory
If you make a character please post their in game name here
Fun in this game increases exponentially with the more people that join up so I hope to see more of the people that stated they were interested in the initial thread to come out, the game is FREE, but you are restricted to 14 days after which you will have to start all over again. If you get "suspended" or banned since the trial accounts are loopholes just make another one. Conversely you can spend $20 to pick up the game at direct2drive, which comes with a free month, this allows you to keep your character instead of having to re-level someone every 2 weeks.
TRIAL INSTALLER
Remember, the trials sometimes will RANDOMLY suspended you, just a heads up.

I hope that my schedule (for brits, shhedule) will allow me to fully attend.
I'm BR7 now, and I think i should be able to forget all right before (still within 7 day limit), but once it starts I'll be locked in. Oh, and if I get up to BR10 before this trial is up I think I might just as well sub for 3 months to keep all the certs.
Prolly do some combination of Antivehicle, assault buggy, engineering, and medium assault.

Talking about the vent, I think we've been invaded by the Swedish. Me, Chooly, and Dave, were spying on them.Â
I blame peaches for letting them in.

i've given Caff admin to the vent already, should we have a few more admins?
Re: Planetside Saturdays - Approaching Platoon Size - Versus - 12-31-2008
yes
Re: Planetside Saturdays - Approaching Platoon Size - ScottyGrayskull - 12-31-2008
Well... as always it depends. Not sure when some visiting friends want to get together (or if they'll be gone by then)... I'll try to make a push for Friday on that, but of course that means I miss FNF. *shrugs*
Also, kudos to sticking with this. You're slowly getting more people out, when most people probably would've given up trying by now.

if you build it they will come
It comes down to showing other people how much fun you are having (online), then they gradually filter in to find out whats up
Show them online!

Re: Planetside Saturdays - Approaching Platoon Size - Wedge - 12-31-2008
I'll drive people around this time, even if it means I can't gun a Skyguard.
That's right, some lucky bastard get's stuck with the worst Magrider driver in the history of PSS.
Re: Planetside Saturdays - Approaching Platoon Size - Vlambo - 12-31-2008
