...for some kind of contest. Numbers have been really sketchy of late and since I tend to be an abysmal failure at recruiting people in game (or they're too lazy to alt-tab and install a third-party chat program), its time to take a step back and drum up some more people regularly playing within the community (which hopefully leads to more people through in game recruiting as well).
We've been running pretty tight knit infantry and vehicle squads, but its really difficult to be effective when we have less than 6 or so people. When we have been rolling 10+ all in mumble we steam roll groups upwards of twice our size. Especially considering a lot of times in the past we've been really scatter brained Ive started calling out people for breaking with the group and doing their own thing. For your part, its probably best to log in sometime this week to patch up, if its been a while you'll probably have to download several gigs of updates. The Rules: - You must be on for a total of at least 2 hours, no popping in and out to be counted - Must be on mumble, and check in with me (so I can note that you were there) - Reply here in the thread stating that you will be there (or will try) The Prize: $15 Station Cash Card Starting Time: 7pm CST Ending Time: ??? (Usually around 11-12pm CST) If any people who are regulars would like to opt out, it would be very nice of you to defer to someone who doesn't already have all of the cert gain / membership / money to spend. Just PM me so I know not to include you in the drawing. Â Sig by Joel |

I may make an appearance, but since I'll be in the process of moving & my girlfriend's family is going to be in town, I'm not sure when or for how long I'll be there. I'll poke my friend pakman (PS2 username p4kman) to get him to join you all, he's become a member of the Church of Silenced V6-7 + 2 blocks of C4, so I think he'll enjoy running with us.

If I am there at all it will be for the full time, but this is first weekend back at school so something might come up.

To draw more people in the future, may I recommend a charity event stream? (Contact SOE to get them involved somehow).

But I'll invite my one friend who does play this saturday. |

I don't have any labor day plans actually, but most of my friends who would enjoy being a techno upgraded human are already out at Burning Man.

Get in contact with a charity company, tell them you're interested in doing it.. Get in contact with the devs in combination with the charity group. Have some multiple streamers, and spam the hell out of "Please donate" bullshit. |

I'll likely be there. I love me some planetside.
<+Karrde> welp, time to learn some basic patterning skills <@Negate> 12121212121212121212 <@Negate> there is a simple pattern <+Karrde> I changed my mind. Gonna cosplay as a gay demon from hell and get negate raped instead XD <+Caffeine`work> Karrde: Gay demon? Why would you need to cosplay just go as yourself <+FlyingMongoose> Caffeine`work: Karrde would actually have to tone it down some. |
